THE APOCALYPSE

This is your IC Threadpost.

Please keep things labelled with character names in the subject line.

I'll be doing a few subheaders. Pre fight, Battle, Hellbound and Aftermath. Tag into any of these and if you want another subthread made ask me or MJ so it looks all tidy and whatnot.

Go forth and thread mah lovelies

I'm also gonna suggest cutting comms from the battle to the aftermath down to bare mimimum communications while the main battle threads go on to keep it a little bit real time. If you have to for time constraint reasons please mark it post battle

The threat of war had been lingering for so long that Rose no longer felt fear when it happened. Simply resigned. If this had to be done, she'd do it and she'd simply say a quick prayer to whatever might still be listening that they'd all get through to the other side of this alive and still there. She was tired, physically and emotionally, and at that point, all she wanted was for it to be over. Whatever it took.

Years of training had led to this. Nearly three years in Lawrence, learning from Bobby, from Sam and Ruby, from anyone and everyone who would train her. The years before that back in her alternate London, fighting alongside Torchwood and learning to shoot properly, to fight hand to hand, and to generally be a leader. And before that...all that time at the Doctor's side. Being what he needed, where he needed, when he needed her. That was where she'd learned compassion, trust, and above all, hope.

But hope was fading as she watched scenes play out in front of her. The people she'd grown to care for falling around her. They'd been swarmed. Becker couldn't give out orders fast enough, and she hadn't heard his voice in a while and it scared her. Peter was injured, her sweet Peter, so much more to her now than just the Doctor's face and voice. John was patching him up, being forced to shoot in between bandages. For everything her friend had been through, he was still standing tall, shooting straight, and saving lives. He was being everything she knew he could, and she couldn't be more proud, even if she was terrified for him right then.

Rose herself was shooting and stabbing and exorcising as fast as she could, but there were just too many of them. They were overwhelmed and nothing short of a miracle would save them now. And no one knew like Rose Tyler how rare and random miracles could be.

The shout came and at first, she tried to tune it out. Between humans and demons alike, there was plenty of shouting around her. But she knew that voice. That voice was a part of her, as much as its much more posh one that followed. And her heart, her single, solitary heart, sank. She ran her knife through one more demon before turning to look. Her eyes widened in horror as she took in the scene. The Doctor, who'd been doing his own share of fighting despite being a man who despised violence, had been overtaken. There were too many of them. Even if she went up to them now, she'd likely be taken as well. And they weren't just killing him, no. They were torturing him, pushing him to his breaking point, because that's what these bastards did. They found themselves amusing and they knew their numbers were great enough to get away with it. They had no regard for each other, for the ones falling around them.

It had to stop. And she only knew one way out. She knew the consequences, she knew what it would cost. But it didn't matter. Her Doctor had gotten a second chance at life. She wasn't going to fail him now.

It only took a second's hesitation for her to turn and run. Anyone watching would think she was fleeing the battle, running away before the entire squadron could be taken over. That was hardly on Rose's mind, however. She didn't have far to go. She'd insisted the TARDIS be close in case something happened and they had to hide people. If it could withstand the armies of Genghis Khan, it could handle Lucifer's army. Right? She was about to test that more than ever.

Sliding her key into the lock, the key that had never left her, not once, she slipped inside to Eleven's console room. She stood still for a few seconds, breathing heavily. She couldn't even guarantee this would work. New TARDIS, new location...new Rose. She and the TARDIS had been separated, and for so long, she'd fought it. She didn't want to grow attached again, only to lose her. When she'd been engaged to the Tenth, she'd lived there more often than not, but she'd still kept her own flat. Just in case. She was tired of being hurt, tired of being let down.

That wouldn't happen anymore, though. Not if this worked. It was the right choice and she knew it, but that didn't make it an easy one. Lightly, lovingly, she placed her hand on the center console. "Hello, old friend," she said softly, her heart contracting. If there was anyone in the world she would do this with, it was this machine. The only thing in all of creation who wanted the Doctor safe more than Rose. More than his companions. "We have to move quickly. I don't think we have time for the whole big yellow truck thing this time, do you?" As if in reply, the TARDIS hummed, making that approving sound she always did when the Doctor asked her questions. Rose took it as a good sign. She didn't speak TARDIS, but she did know the feelings it gave her.

The differences were obvious. "You're alive and well this time...last time we had to wake you up. That wasn't pleasant, I'm sure, but you seem to have forgiven me. And this Seal, this world, it's quieted you, I know. Made you all but miserable. No time travel, no future worlds or far off planets. You want revenge on them, too, don't you, pretty girl?"

This wasn't thousands of years in the future they were traveling. This was a hop, skip, and a jump away. And she couldn't even guarantee it would work. But she had to try or everyone she'd grown to love was gone. The Doctor, Jack, Martha, Guy, John, Peter...and that was simply the battlefield. If they lost this war, they were all gone anyway. Little Emily wouldn't get to grow up. Robin and Marian's baby would never be born.

She had to do this. She had to fight for what was right. Even if it would, quite literally, kill her.

"I don't know how to do this," she admitted quietly into the otherwise empty room. "No big yellow trucks and all. Help him. Help me help him."

And the TARDIS responded. Proving just how brilliant she was, how desperately she loved the Doctor, the machine opened up to Rose. Literally. The familiar yellow light shone out at her and with one last breath, one last thought of all that mattered to her, she looked into the light, letting it fill her. Letting her entire being become scattered in place of being filled with the TARDIS' essence. It wasn't as with Idris, Sexy, whatever one wanted to call the human version of the TARDIS. That person had been taken over by the machine. With Rose, with the Bad Wolf, they combined into one person who would give anything to save one Time Lord. The last of the Time Lords.

Using Rose's knowledge of the battle she'd left behind, the TARDIS followed. It landed safely, not far from where the group of demons were taking turns inflicting pain on the Doctor. And when its doors opened, the Ninth Doctor would know exactly what Rose had done. But it would be far too late to stop her by that point. She was no longer in full control of herself. Her head was filled with everything. What was, what would be. The entirety of time and space, every dimension, including hers. She saw a future without Lucifer, a future where Crowley ruled hell. Where the children she'd cared for would grow up happy, if not always entirely safe. Where Bo could play outside without fear of possession. She saw everything, and it did not involve the demons who were now looking at her as if torn between fear and excitement over a new plaything.

Two stepped away from the Doctor and approached hesitantly. "You think this is a game," the Bad Wolf spoke out loud, and with the movement of one hand, she dissipated the demons. "Lucifer thinks he's just won the world's longest game." A few more were wiped out until the Doctor was loose enough to get away. But he wouldn't stop her. He couldn't. She would not let him give himself for her again.

The hand that was not currently wiping out demons held him in place. No one would approach her. No one could stop what she'd put into motion. "But Lucifer has not yet won. He will not win. We will take our losses but his will be ultimate. It will be final. It is destined." Lucifer's own power was at war with hers, now. The TARDIS had been kept in place for so long. The only power strong enough to keep her from doing what she was meant to do. She knew Lucifer could feel her presence, but she couldn't fight him. Not alone. Maybe, at least, she'd distracted him. Maybe she'd given Sam that edge he'd needed. But she was running out of time. The Doctor had told her once that so much power would consume her, would kill her. He was right. The two beings in one body both knew that, and it was together that they made the decision.

The cage was in front of her. It had already taken some of theirs. Lucifer and Michael were meant to go there, but it wouldn't just be them. Tony was gone, ridiculous Tony who'd declared his love for her before falling for Martha. The people she loved would be safe with her there. Maybe she'd take out all of hell in the process. That was something.

She turned, slowly, eyes still glowing yellow with the power that filled her. Her eyes traced over the scene in front of her. An entire invasion of demons was gone, her friends were free to tend their wounds and move on to the next group. She skimmed the scene briefly. "I love you," she said simply, her eyes stopping on every single person that made Rose Tyler who she was. The panic in Martha's eyes, the fear in the Doctor's. And Guy. Her beautiful Guy. He'd never know what he'd done for her, but she hoped she'd shown him enough love to keep him going after she was gone.

Turning back towards the vortex that held the entrance to the cage, the Bad Wolf didn't hesitate. Rose Tyler, filled with the essence of the TARDIS and knowing every second she had left was crucial, stepped quite willingly and bravely into the cage meant to hold the world's most terrifying archangel.
