A young boy wearing a flight helmet and aviator goggles headed into a lab at the base he was living in. The man in the lab was wearing his usual coat and goggles and was working on a machine. \u201cAgent Nein?\u201d asked the boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, Raz,\u201d replied the man, Agent Sasha Nein. \u201cExcellent. I need your help recalibrating the Brain Tumbler. For some odd reason, I cannot access the Collective Unconscious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs that the cheap one you got?\u201d asked the boy, Razputin \u201cRaz\u201d Aquato, Junior Psychonaut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, no,\u201d replied Sasha, \u201cthat\u2019s still at the camp.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, I DO want to help,\u201d said Raz, \u201cbut Terryl said that she hasn\u2019t heard Gristol singing lately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cConsidering that he sings off-key, that\u2019s a small mercy,\u201d remarked Sasha. \u201c\u2026How long has he not been singing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor three days,\u201d replied Raz. \u201cShe only told me a few minutes ago. That\u2019s why I need your help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThree days? He barely lasts three hours before\u2026well, you were right to get help. Come on, Razputin.\u201d Sasha led the way out of the lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was peaceful in the old quarry. The main building looked like a pair of hands supporting a glass brain. On the landing pad\u2026the people that worked at the building heard a noise. They all turned to see a blue box fading into existence next to a jet. The box then opened from the inside and three women of various appearances stepped out. The onlookers didn\u2019t know it, but the box was the TARDIS and the women were the Doctor, Amy Rose, and Lurra Rus. \u201cDoctor, what\u2019s going on?\u201d asked Lurra Rus. \u201cWhy did you have to veer off course like that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBelieve it or not, I didn\u2019t,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cThat was the TARDIS\u2019s doing. The old girl detected a massive amount of psychic energy and needed to investigate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo where are we?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m not sure,\u201d remarked the Doctor. She then got a good look at the place. \u201cJudging by the shape of the building, I\u2019d guess it\u2019s some mental research area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHands where we can see them!\u201d called a security guard. He and his friends then placed a hand on their heads and reached out with their other hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all right!\u201d called the Doctor as she pulled out the psychic paper. \u201cWe\u2019re all friends here! Just inspecting! Code name: Doctor, accompanied by Amy Rose and Lurra Rus!\u201d The psychic paper was then yanked out of her hand and floated towards the commander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026You trying to be funny?!\u201d snapped the commander. \u201cThere\u2019s a psychic link to this thing! It\u2019s blank!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat was telekinesis!\u201d gasped the Doctor. \u201cI mean, PROPER telekinesis! Are you all psychics?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re at the Motherlobe, of course we\u2019re psychic!\u201d replied the commander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Motherlobe? OH! Then you\u2019re all Psychonauts!\u201d The Doctor grinned. \u201cLike I said, I\u2019m the Doctor and-!\u201d She and her friends then found themselves lifted up by some invisible hand! \u201cOI! STEADY ON!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFirst Gristol Malik breaks out, then three intruders show up!\u201d hissed the commander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFunny how coincidences pop up like that!\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t believe in coincidences! Guards! Take them to Sasha Nein!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYES SIR!\u201d replied the guards. The Doctor and her friends were forced to float after them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, what-?!\u201d gulped Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen we\u2019re safer, I promise,\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sasha Nein had all three of them restrained with Raz looking at the whole thing. \u201cAre we sure these ladies broke Gristol out of Psychoisolation?\u201d asked Raz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, and that\u2019s why we\u2019re interrogating them,\u201d replied Sasha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTalk like we\u2019re not here,\u201d muttered Lurra Rus. \u201cReal classy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, what are you using?\u201d asked the Doctor. \u201cPsycho-Portal? Brain Tumbler? Either way, my mind\u2019s a rather dangerous place to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRazputin, deploy the Psycho-Portal,\u201d ordered Sasha. Raz then pulled out a small door that could fit in his hand and threw it at the Doctor\u2019s head. The door stuck itself to the Doctor\u2019s forehead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh! Steady on!\u201d protested the Doctor. \u201cNo need to hurl it!\u201d Raz then lowered his flight goggles over his eyes as the door opened. Both Raz and the Doctor then entered into a trance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raz found himself in a white room with roundels on the walls and a hexagonal control console. His vision had turned black and white. \u201c\u2026Okay, this room must be important somehow.\u201d He walked up to the console. \u201cMaybe-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYoung man, will you kindly move away from the console?!\u201d snapped an old man\u2019s voice. Raz whirled around to see an old man with white hair and wore clothes that were a cross between the Edwardian and Victorian periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhoa! Sorry, sir!\u201d yelped Raz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHonestly, it\u2019s bad enough you invade my mind, but now you want to learn the secrets of my ship?!\u201d snapped the old man. Raz blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I\u2026thought I was in the Doctor\u2019s mind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are,\u201d replied the old man. \u201cAnd you\u2019re speaking to her. Or rather, HIM.\u201d He then gripped the lapels of his jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Y-You\u2019re a shape-shifter?!\u201d yelped Raz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf a sort,\u201d replied the old man, the First Doctor. \u201cNow, you said you were looking for this…Gristol Malik, hm? Well, you\u2019ll have to meet my other incarnations and see if they know anything, because, quite frankly, in my first incarnation, I had never heard of him.\u201d The Doctor pressed some buttons on the console and opened a door. \u201cOff you go, young man.\u201d Raz headed through the door and into a room similar to the one he just left. This time, there was a man with black hair and dressed like a tramp. He played a bit of music on his recorder before he spotted Raz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, there you are!\u201d he said. \u201cI was wondering if you\u2019d get here. You haven\u2019t fiddled with any of the controls, have you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Doctor?\u201d asked Raz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, that\u2019s me,\u201d replied the hobo, the Second Doctor. \u201cI take it you wish to continue your interrogation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, yeah! Where\u2019s Gristol Malik?\u201d asked Raz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy dear young man, I\u2019m afraid you\u2019re wasting your time with me. I had never heard of him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, which one of you did?!\u201d snapped Raz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no need to shout,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cYou can either interrogate all my previous incarnations and check that I\u2019d never heard of Gristol Malik until my arrival to the Motherlobe or you can skip straight to my current one and brutally interrogate her and get nowhere with your search.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFine, I\u2019ll play your game!\u201d hissed Raz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSplendid!\u201d cheered the Doctor. \u201cNow, that way should lead you to Fancy Pants.\u201d He opened another door. Raz entered the room and\u2026well, it looked more like a lab and his color vision returned. He looked around the lab and saw pictures\u2026pictures of people, but none of them were Gristol Malik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s their connection with you, I wonder?\u201d muttered Raz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNO!\u201d came a robotic voice. Raz turned to see several men dressed as stuffy bureaucrats with giant stamps in the shape of the usual prohibition sign (red circle with a diagonal line) running into the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCensors!\u201d shuddered Raz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI say, chaps!\u201d called a new voice. The speaker was a man in fancy clothes, complete with frilled sleeves. \u201cWould you mind leaving him alone?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNO!\u201d replied the Censors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust a suggestion.\u201d The man then got into physical combat with them. Raz joined in the fight and fired blasts of mental energy! \u201cI say, do be careful!\u201d warned the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReally hoping you\u2019re the Doctor!\u201d replied Raz as he finished off the last Censor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat I am,\u201d replied the man, the Third Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho are all those people?\u201d asked Raz as he pointed at the pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, they\u2019re my companions,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cDo you recognize any of them as this Gristol Malik you\u2019re looking for?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026No, they\u2019re not,\u201d said Raz. \u201cHow many lives am I going through here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cQuite a few, young man,\u201d answered the Doctor. \u201cI have a feeling you\u2019ll find your answers.\u201d He opened a door and Raz entered it to reveal a new console room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll right, what\u2019s next?\u201d asked Raz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnauthorized humanoid detected!\u201d barked a harsh, grating, metallic voice. Raz turned to see a machine creature with no legs, a single eyestalk, a plunger, and an elongated whisk. \u201cYou will be exterminated!\u201d barked the creature as it aimed its whisk at Raz. Someone then placed a hat on its eyestalk. \u201cALERT! ALERT! VISION IMPARED! I CANNOT SEE!\u201d Raz rolled out of the way as it fired wildly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHelp me move this thing!\u201d called a voice. This one came from a tall man with curly hair and a long multicolored scarf! Raz used telekinesis to guide the machine creature out of the room. The creature exploded and revealed green, fleshy insides. Raz turned to the man as he stared at the creature. \u201cDidn\u2019t want you to meet the Daleks,\u201d muttered the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor?\u201d asked Raz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right,\u201d replied the man, the Fourth Doctor. He then pulled out a small bag. \u201cHave a jelly baby.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t taste food in a mental world,\u201d remarked Raz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, it should be good for your mental health,\u201d said the Doctor. Raz considered, then accepted the treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat WAS that thing?\u201d asked Raz as he pointed at the remains of the creature. \u201cWhat did you call it, a Dalek?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe most ruthless form of life I ever met, devoid of all pity,\u201d replied the Doctor. He then finally looked at Raz. \u201cAnd it seems more of my enemies await you as you meet each of my incarnations.\u201d That\u2026worried Raz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
