Alone again. No matter how many times it happened, or how often he told himself that it was for the best, there was always a part of the Doctor that died every time he had to say his version of goodbye. But still, it was better to be alone. After all, he'd almost just lost everyone he'd ever cared about, all at once. How could he be so unbelievably selfish to resent the fact that they were all living their lives now? It didn't matter. He'd just go on with his life, like he always did. It was the only thing to be done.

Walking around the TARDIS, the Doctor ran his fingers along the controls in an idle fashion, trying to decide where he'd go. Trying to pick the perfect place, the perfect setting, to distract himself with, but nothing was coming. All he could see as he looked at his ship was the people that had piloted it with him. His friends, his companions. His family.

Before a button was pressed, before a decision was made, the TARDIS roared to life, knocking the Doctor onto his ass. He scrambled back up, fumbling for the controls. "Not again. Not again! NO! Come on!" he begged, not daring to wonder at what hell he'd walk into this time.

Just as suddenly as it had started, the noise stopped and the TARDIS was still. Still, silent, and completely unresponsive. "What? WHAT?!" he squeaked, staring at the monitors and controls as if he were expecting them to jump back into operational status and yell 'April Fool!' But there was nothing to be done, at the present at least. He'd might as well figure out where the hell he'd landed this time.

Opening the door to the TARDIS, the Doctor shut it firmly behind him and then looked around. A medieval setting, sure, but it was commercialized, fake, definitely not the time period he was used to. Looking around further, he realised this wasn't even a planet he was used to. This wasn't a planet he'd ever heard of! "Where the hell am I?" he wondered aloud, pulling at his hair with one hand and looking decidedly confused.

The Doctor smiled. "It wouldn't be the first time, and I reckon that he's never had a talking to from me." And really, that made all the difference in the world. This world, or any other, as a matter of fact.

"Right!" he said with obvious glee, pulling down his glasses and looking over to where Yaten indicated. "So, he's trapped people here against their will, left them with nothing, and expects them to play for their freedom? Not on my watch," he said with a defiant nod, pulling out his sonic screwdriver and turning it on, pointing it toward the labyrinth. A buzzing sound emitted from it, along with a blue light at the tip. Though it looked like the silliest thing in the world, it apparently did something for the Doctor, as he swung it toward the city and then gave a little nod. "There's alien technology all over the place," he muttered, shaking his head. "I need to know more."

That had to be one of the most idiotically obvious statements Yaten had ever heard.

"Of course it's 'alien tech'" he said, just barely repressing the desire to roll his eyes. "You're the one who said this wasn't earth." He had little patience for this man's hero act. "And he didn't leave us with nothing. Suppose a goblin or something should be coming by soon with your key and journal. And I at least still have most of my powers" All his (her?) powers except teleportation of course.

"There's alien tech all over Earth," the Doctor corrected, pursing his lips for a moment and not looking at Yaten, instead concentrating on the end of his sonic screwdriver. "But this is a different kind than generally found, which makes all the difference."

Right on cue, a goblin showed up and passed over the mentioned items, disappearing just as quickly as it had appeared. "Riiiight," the Doctor muttered and then shoved everything in the pockets of his suit coat, which really shouldn't have been able to hold it all. But, they were bigger on the inside, after all. "Well, thanks, Yaten," he said with a smile and a little wave, then ran off at top speed for the dorms.
