Around this time, it\u2019s been raging for fifty thousand years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFifty thousand?!\u201d yelped Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d confirmed the Doctor. \u201cThankfully, it fizzled out long before your time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWho started the war? What\u2019s the end goal here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoth sides forgot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Knowing our luck, they forgot within the first year of that war,\u201d muttered Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t personally know, I never bothered to check,\u201d said the Doctor, \u201cbut I think that would be an accurate assessment, Amy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo what does a Sontaran look like?\u201d asked Amy. The Doctor opened her mouth, then saw someone approaching their door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026That. That\u2019s a Sontaran.\u201d She pointed out a Sontaran in full armor, as usual\u2026but the green eyes seemed off to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a Sontaran?\u201d asked Amy. \u201cBut he\u2019s-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFree for some odd reason,\u201d remarked the Doctor. \u201cOi! Soldier!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s Trohll to you,\u201d replied the Sontaran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, what\u2019s a troll like you doing in a place like this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s just say we have the same goals, Madame,\u201d replied Trohll. He then opened the cell door! \u201cCome on. We have work to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHold on, you should know me!\u201d protested the Doctor. \u201cI\u2019m not exactly a friend of the Sontarans!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, if you\u2019re who I think you are, then I need your help in keeping the Hand of Eon away from the Sontarans,\u201d said Trohll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKeep it away from the Sontarans. Right,\u201d scoffed the Doctor. \u201cWe\u2019ll play along for now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor?\u201d asked Amy. The Doctor pulled Amy aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s something not right about that Sontaran and I need to know what,\u201d she explained. \u201cNow, either we dither here and hope against hope that the Plumbers will release us, or we follow him and take care of this business quickly for Professor Paradox.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, if the Sontarans are as dangerous as you say they are,\u201d said Amy, \u201cshould we trust that one?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, Amy, where\u2019s your faith?\u201d asked the Doctor. \u201cWho said we\u2019re trusting him?\u201d She then returned her attention to Trohll. \u201cWe\u2019ll follow you for now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cExcellent,\u201d replied Trohll. \u201cNow, this way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The trio snuck out of the base quickly and arrived on the surface of Bellwood. The Doctor looked up to see Sontaran Battle Spheres. \u201cGood grief! It\u2019s a full invasion force!\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd we need to get up there,\u201d muttered Trohll. \u201cFour allies of mine are prisoners aboard the <em>Chimeran Hammer<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVilgax\u2019s ship?\u201d asked the Doctor. \u201cWhy would he need prisoners? \u2026Unless he\u2019s still looking for that watch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Omnitrix, yes,\u201d said Trohll. \u201cOl\u2019 Squidface has a one-track mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Squidfa\u2026\u201d The Doctor was really confused now. No Sontaran ever talks like that! She then spotted something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTell me, Trohll,\u201d she said, \u201cdo Sontaran Scout Spheres go to Vilgax\u2019s ship?\u201d She pointed one out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey do,\u201d replied Trohll. \u201cAnd the robots that make up his crew will believe that I\u2019m taking you as prisoners. Just long enough for me to get you to my friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRight then, we\u2019d better take it,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cAmy, it\u2019s gonna be a bit\u2026tight in there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t we steal another that can hold the two of us?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToo risky,\u201d replied Trohll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, I could conceivably fly a Scout Sphere,\u201d explained the Doctor, \u201cbut what would Sontaran Command say if they discovered that prisoners of the Sontaran Empire were driving their own Sphere?\u201d Amy had to concede that point. The trio then entered the Scout Sphere and, even with two small people, it was cramped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTrohll, get your foot off mine!\u201d snapped Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSorry, I think that\u2019s me,\u201d replied the Doctor as she shuffled away from Amy as best she could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHey! That\u2019s my head you\u2019re touching!\u201d protested Trohll as he checked the instruments. \u201cFuel\u2026full tank. Oxygen\u2026good enough for three on a journey to Vilgax\u2019s ship. Hull integrity\u2026at maximum. Right. Here we go.\u201d He closed the Sphere\u2019s door and took off. Once the Sphere breached the outer atmosphere of Earth, a Sontaran patrol intercepted them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHalt! State your business!\u201d barked the Sontaran in charge of the patrol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is Lieutenant Trohll of the Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet,\u201d replied Trohll, \u201cbringing prisoners to the <em>Chimeran Hammer<\/em> for interrogation. Sending verification codes now.\u201d Trohll keyed in the codes and sent them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Verification codes confirmed,\u201d said the Sontaran. \u201cProceed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAcknowledged. Sontar HA!\u201d Trohll ended the call and the craft made its way to the <em>Chimeran Hammer<\/em>. It then docked with the ship. \u201cRight\u2026Alien Scum! Out NOW!\u201d Trohll was pretty good at barking orders and making threatening gestures. The Doctor and Amy got out with Trohll marching behind them, heading for the brig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>On the bridge, Vilgax sat in his chair. \u201cGet me Psychobos!\u201d he barked. A robot obeyed and activated a hologram of what looked like a giant purple crab with a moustache, a large cranium, and a large left claw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat is it, V-V-V-Vilgax?!\u201d snapped the crab-person, Dr. Psychobos. \u201cI\u2019m very busy trying to reverse engineer Sontaran Technology for your proud vessel! And I use that term loosely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBe warned, Psychobos!\u201d snarled Vilgax. \u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for me, you\u2019d still be stuck in that universe! Your genius wouldn\u2019t have saved you! \u2026And I use that term loosely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI AM a genius, thank you very much!\u201d barked Psychobos. \u201cYou\u2019ve been constantly harassing me for updates on how t-t-t-to destroy the Hand of Eon, setting back my work significantly! If there is an update, I shall inform you personally! And it\u2019s DOCTOR Psychobos! Good day!\u201d Dr. Psychobos ended the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInsolent Cerebrocrustacean!\u201d snarled Vilgax. \u201cIf I didn\u2019t need his help-!\u201d An alarm sounded. \u201cNow what?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLord Vilgax, Trohll has arrived. Sontaran Command maintains that he\u2019s a spy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOf course he is,\u201d sighed Vilgax in annoyance. \u201cThe only thing green about a Sontaran is their blood! Where is he?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s on his way to the cells with the Time Lord known as the Doctor.\u201d That piqued Vilgax\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Doctor escaped?\u201d he asked. He then grinned. \u201cI knew she was too clever! Now is the time to settle all scores, both with the Doctor and with Ben Tennyson! Send security to the brig immediately! And tell Skrem he\u2019d better get here quickly if he wants to see the Doctor executed!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Once they made it to the brig, the Doctor, Amy, and Trohll made their way to a group of four cells. The prisoners were an old man in a red Hawaiian shirt, a ginger girl in a blue skirt, a muscular man with long, black hair, and the Revonnahgander that arrested the Doctor and Amy. Trohll approached the Revonnahgander\u2019s cell. \u201cFlushing out evil\u2026\u201d said Trohll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou call the Ten Plumbers,\u201d replied the Revonnahgander with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen you got it!\u201d said Trohll happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNaturally,\u201d said the Revonnahgander. He looked to the Doctor. \u201cI must apologize for the arrest, Madame Doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo it was all to get me near to Trohll here,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cYou must be Rook Blonko. I trust your family\u2019s harvest has been bountiful?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVery, Doctor, thank you,\u201d replied Rook. \u201cI presume you know my prison-mates?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s see, the ginger girl,\u201d guessed the Doctor, \u201cis Gwen Tennyson, also known as the Anodite Hero, Lucky Girl, the muscular man is the half Osmosian, Kevin Levin, the man in the Hawaiian shirt is Magister Max Tennyson, semi-retired Plumber, and given how non-Sontaran Trohll is, I\u2019d deduce he\u2019s-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTennyson!\u201d snarled a voice. Everyone looked to see Vilgax, Psychobos, and Skrem with robots and Sontarans aiming their guns at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Hang on, Squidface,\u201d said Trohll, \u201cyou didn\u2019t ACTUALLY know ahead of time, did you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe all knew, T-T-T-Tennyson!\u201d replied Psychobos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor a start, Sontaran eyes don\u2019t glow green,\u201d explained Vilgax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd another thing, it\u2019s pronounced LEF-tenant,\u201d said Skrem. \u201cNot LOO-tenant!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen where\u2019s the F?!\u201d protested Trohll. \u201c\u2026Oh well, since we all know\u2026\u201d he keyed in something on his wrist computer and a badge shimmered into view on his collar. The badge was a black circle with a green hourglass design in the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPerception filter to hide the Omnitrix core, huh?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the idea,\u201d replied Trohll. He then tapped the badge. \u201cCommand Code: One, Zero, One, Zero. Tennyson, Benjamin. Disengage life-form lock!\u201d He then slapped the badge and was surrounded by green light. The light then grew into a more human shape before vanishing to reveal Ben 10 himself, a brunette man with green eyes and an alien smartwatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour intelligence gathering mission was the most uncoordinated one I\u2019ve ever seen!\u201d scoffed Skrem. \u201cAnd, honestly, perhaps you\u2026Americans should learn how to pronounce ranks correctly!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, whatever!\u201d retorted Ben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTennyson, you\u2019ve failed already!\u201d boasted Vilgax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd gave the Sontarans the opportunity to enact our standing orders!\u201d cackled Skrem. \u201cTo seek out, capture, and execute that sworn enemy of the Sontaran Empire, the Vanquisher of my Clone Ancestor, Staal the Undefeated, the traveler in time and space designated\u2026Doctor!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe goofed, didn\u2019t we, Doctor?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLooks that way,\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHow many times have we been in a cell again?\u201d Amy asked the Doctor as they sat in Plumber Lock-up. \u201cI\u2019ve lost track, as I usually do on my adventures,\u201d sighed the Doctor. \u201c\u2026Doctor, what ARE the Sontarans like, anyways?\u201d quizzed Amy. \u201cNasty, brutish, and short, for one thing,\u201d explained the Doctor. \u201cThey\u2019re a clone [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6809,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[959,1057],"tags":[515,130,35,962],"class_list":["post-7328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-doctor-who-crossings","category-series-3","tag-amy-rose","tag-ben-10","tag-doctor-who","tag-fan-doctor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7328"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7328\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7329,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7328\/revisions\/7329"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
