MadCap's Fiction Corner - Doctor Who: "Chalybe Panacea" (Chapter Six)

They watched the maelstrom of fire and ash that was left... the smoldering embers being the only sign that anything had been there at all.

"Begin the Cyber-Conversions. All organic life on this station." The Cyber-Leader's voice droned over the PA just before the feed was cut, leaving the Doctor, Nyssa, and Commander Katoss staring at a static-y screen right before the monitor powered down. They had all seen it, the TARDIS erupting in flames before being disintegrated entirely, leaving naught but a smoking pile of ashes.

"Did they just... did they destroy a TARDIS?" Katoss asked. "Is that even possible?!"

"I don't..." Nyssa started to answer, then turned to face the Doctor again. "Doctor?" He was still standing with his back to them, eyes locked on that screen. "Doctor, I- are you-" She stopped again as the man began to turn. To the surprise of both Nyssa and Katoss, he bore a unique feature that he hadn't only moments before.

A smug little smile twisting his lips.

"Destroy him! Destroy the Doctor!"

What If... the Trickster never reset the Timeline? (Part 1)

So, back in the Mystery Spot review, I had proposed the theory of what might have happened if the Trickster hadn't reset the timeline at the end of the episode, forcing Sam to live in a world without Dean and with seemingly no way to bring him back. Then, I'd said that it was a question for another day.

A little over a month later, we have now finally reached that day... for the first part of the tale, anyway.

So buckle in... and ponder the question... what if?

By the way, major spoilers for later in the show follow on from this. So, if you haven't watched further in the show than my reviews have gone, turn back now.

Got it? Okay... what if? Let's do this.

From MadCap's Couch - Supernatural: "No Rest for the Wicked"

"CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SOOOOOOON!"

Okay, so... first off... 150th From MadCap's Couch! Party hard! Second, weird choice for a Valentine's Day episode, but here we are.

Hopefully, it's not a bloody one.

Huh, Jensen?

Huh?

You get it?

Do you get it?

DO YOU GE-

MadCap's Fiction Corner - Doctor Who: "Chalybe Panacea" (Chapter Four)

Their ride down in a different lift was not nearly as eventful, nor as long. The Time Lord and the Trakenite soon found themselves on Level -2. The lift came to a stop and the doors opened to reveal a darkened cargo hold.

"The life support is only going to be set to forty percent down here." Nyssa mentioned. "The cargo bays are generally on low power unless they're having equipment taken in or out."

From MadCap's Couch - Supernatural: "Time Is on My Side"

Look what I've become
The nightmare that she should fear
Is the father you left alone

Here we are, the penultimate episode of Season 3.

Recap time!

It was then that the gravity generators gave out. They knew this the moment they all began lifting up from the floor and were suspended in the space above them.

"What the-?"

"How in the-?"

"Steady, men! Steady!" Katoss called out, drifting toward the nearest wall. The Doctor meanwhile, had lifted up and found a familiar Trakenite at his side.

"Doctor! What do you-?"

"I dunno!" The Doctor said, his stoicism gone and the biggest of grins plastered across his face, his eyes showing an exuberance she had not yet seen in him. "Isn't it... oh, I can't think of a word good enough for it!"
