The Doctor and Donna Noble were stuck in the flaming TARDIS, Donna had been shouting at the Doctor for a while, “DO SOMETHING!” She shouted right at the spaceman’s ear. “I AM!” He exclaimed back, the blue box got trapped somewhere, they got out — in for a surprise to see that they arrived in Pompeii the day that the volcano would explode and destroy everything.“Pompeii, out of all places?” Donna said as she scoffed, “Let’s just hope that we can fix the TARDIS, if anything bad happens.” He replied, sort of whispering. “You meant ‘YOU’ can fix it.” They were near a bandwagon full of goats, many villagers around. He soon started to get the TARDIS up and running, using his sonic screwdriver on the keyhole. Donna tapped her foot impatiently.Meanwhile, Loki and Mobius were standing near a wagon of goats, Loki was trying to convince that the so-called variant was hiding in nexus events. Loki was about to run to free the goats when he caught a glimpse of a strange, skinny man, and a ginger haired woman.“Who is that?” He asked Mobius. “Who?” Mobius eyed up as he saw the pair, arguing loudly.“It’s my fault, I broke the TARDIS!” Donna shouted from afar. “It’s not your fault—““—IT IS!” The human and time lord argued. Mobius was about to leave, since the volcano could erupt any minute, and whoever that was would be arrested soon for causing a branch anyway.But Loki headed to the two strange figures who were definitely not supposed to be there. “Who are you, and what are you doing here?” Loki quickly asked, with his tone being slightly arrogant.“Wh— Another Time Lord?” Donna said. “I don’t think he’s a time lord.” The Doctor replied, as Loki seemed confused. “I’m the Doctor, she’s Donna Noble.” The madman said. Loki looked confused, meanwhile Mobius caught his arm. “Let’s go before we melt.” He said with sarcasm.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
The ground started shaking, the noise of a volcano erupting started, everyone started screaming and shouting, chaos was already brewing before the volcano even blasted any lava.The Doctor looked around instantly, to think of any sort of plan — since the TARDIS was still fixing itself (well, technically the Sonic Screwdriver was the one doing the fixing). Loki and Mobius look at each other. “I told you, let’s go.” Mobius said, a tad bit irritated because of Loki putting them in danger. “What about these variants?” Loki exclaimed, “And the experiment, Mobius — we have to continue!” Mobius rolled his eyes in response. “Variants?” Donna and the Doctor blurted out at in unison. “Fine, fine, bring them.” He said, handing Loki some sort of TVA made handcuffs to detain the redhead and the skinny man.Donna’s eyes widened,as she was being handcuffed by this odd, dark haired man. “Oi, get your filthy hands off of me!” She argued loudly, trying to push him as he simply handcuffed her. The Doctor needed to get the TARDIS — since it might be destroyed. But he was suddenly pulled by Loki, being handcuffed as well. He didn’t argue, since there were times where he did argue, and things got worse for him and his companion(s).Mobius opened a sort-of time door, as the four went in right before the volcano erupted. Donna and the Doctor looked at each other, as her eyes widened, as if to say; “What?”. The Doctor tilted his head, mouthing; “I don’t understand either.”They were suddenly put into these seperate rooms, to be interrogated. And just for a little bit of context, since I felt like I wanted to skip some parts instead of finishing the whole damn scene; Donna had been shouting non-stop, basically yammering at guards and agents walking by.The Doctor was put in a room with Mobius, as Donna was put in a room with Mobius. In these seperate rooms — they started talking.“So, your name is…” the agent trailed off, “The Doctor?” Mobius mumbled, as he eyed the skinny man’s file. “Yup, that’s right.”
“Hm.. Age: 1003, you’re looking younger than that.” He joked. “So, aside from you and that red haired lady who’s been calling you ‘space man’ being in Pompeii, tell me about yourself.”
