Doctor Who: Return to Earth
Chapter 5
Previous ChapterTwilight was bound against the wall, gagged with a dirty cloth, and her hands and feet were chained together. She couldn't do anything. Without her horn, she was powerless. She struggles a little, but it's no use. "Try as much as you want, girl. You can't get out." The Ripper says in a raspy voice from the shadows.
Twilight spits out the cloth. "When my friends get here you'll be sorry!"
She was then met by a fist to the face and the cloth back in her mouth. "Keep trying. You're just making this more fun, for me." Jack reaches into a drawer and pulls out a knife. It looked as if it was sharpened recently. When Twilight saw it, she knew she was in trouble.
She tried to say "You're a sick and twisted monster!" But it came out more like "MMGDGSS DG mmf!" Jack laughed and grabbed Twilight's shirt, and pulled it up. "Mmf!" Twilight gasps as Jack's blade touches her stomach. Twilight tries with all of her might not to struggle. That blade could kill her in an instant.
"It's a shame, really. All of my other victims never struggled. At least, after I made sure they knew that they couldn't escape. But you, you never gave up. I'll make sure you go in the most PAINfull way!" Jack says as he plunges the knife deep into Twilight's belly, causing her to yell in pain, with a little blood coming out of her mouth.
Tears stream from her face as Jack moves the blade through Twilight's body, cutting her open. Just before Jack was done, however, the Doctor, Derpy and Spike burst through the door, surprising Jack, causing him to take the knife out, blood spilling from Twilight.
Spike jumps onto Jack, knocking him to the ground. As the two struggle, Derpy swipes the knife and cuts the lock on Twilight's bounding,causing her to fall into the Doctor's arms. "Oh, my God, Twilight! Derpy, hurry, get her inside the TARDIS!" The Doctor activates the screwdriver, causing the TARDIS to appear before them.
"The medical center is down the hall to the left take a another left first door on the right!" The Doctor says quickly, and grabs Spike off of Jack. "Well... Well... Well... If it isn't the famous Ripper himself..." The Doctor says, circling Jack with the Screwdriver pointed at him.
"Yes... I am the Ripper... And who are you?"
"I'm the Doctor."
"Doctor Who?"
"Exactly."
"That's a very odd name."
"You have an odd occupation."
"Oh? And what do you do for a living?"
"Travel. Stop sick, disgusting freaks like you."
"Well, that's not very nice!" Jack lunges at the Doctor, knocking him off his feet, dropping the Screwdriver and hitting his head on the floor. "Huh. With all the stuff you talked about, I thought you would last longer. Oh well." Jack grabs his knife, and creeps towards the Doctor, but is again tackled by Spike.
"Ow! You stupid little kid!" Jack stabs Spike's arm, and pushes him off. "Well, you guys didn't last long. Goodbye." Jack raises his knife over Spike's heart, aiming to kill. Just as he prepares to swing, he is hit full-on by Derpy's body, knocking him over, and also knocking off his hood, revealing his face...
Jack wasn't human. He was a green, slimy alien, with bulging white eyes. If not for the eyes, the Doctor would have said he was a Silurian. Derpy screams audibly, and quickly gets away from the alien. The Doctor, however, approaches him. "Derpy... Spike... Meet Jack the Cuperalla."
"Cuperalla?" Spike and Derpy say in union.
"Cousins to a race known as the Silurians. They inhabited the planet before humans did. Anyway, Jack... What should we do with you?" The Doctor leans close to the Ripper, who swings a punch at the Doctor, but is stopped by Derpy.
"Why did you do it?"
"I was hungry. Searching for the perfect meal. Those women I've killed... They were close, but not quite there. When I smelled the girl in purple, I smelled perfection. I let her chase me until far enough away from you, and then, I got her. Then you came back and ruined everything!" Jack says with a crazy look in his eyes.
"Look, Jack. I can get you to a planet where you can co-exist with another species. All you have to do is agree to change your diet and never do this again." The Doctor says, much like his previous incarnation used to do. Jack thinks this over for a little.
"No."
"Then I'm sorry, Jack." The Doctor rises, and grabs Jack. "I gave you once chance. Now, you're done." The Doctor drags Jack into the TARDIS, and ties him up.
"W-What are you going to do with me?!"
The Doctor doesn't reply as he activates the TARDIS, causing the engines the whir. When they die down, the Doctor grabs Jack yet again. "I'm sorry. I really am." The Doctor says, and opens the doors of the TARDIS, revealing the black void of space.
And Jack the Ripper was never found.
