That was it. She'd just been drowning in boiling water, was redfaced, sweaty, and disgusting. Then here had come this guy, and he was making blaming her? Ada glared at Alec, entirely too annoyed to see that he might have been concerned. She removed her now wet coat and threw it on the ground, immediately after rising. Gaining her balance took some time, but Ada, still grimacing, managed it.
"Who the hell are you, anyway?" He obviously wasn't just some rich kid willing to buy her some food. Or just a guy with weird friends. Ada had accepted finally that this wasn't a dream, since she had nearly died. And not in a boring way either. She'd always thought that her end would come quietly, a bit of starvation, a sickness, something banal. But this was far beyond her expectations.
Ada looked Alec up and down again. Whoever this guy was, he'd saved her. Yet he'd also gotten her into this mess. She wasn't sure if she trusted him, or even if she didn't hate him, but so far he was the only guy not trying to kill her. She'd try to stay on his good side for now.

Freddy's voice shook the floors under Ada and Alec's feet. "I said no teamwork!!" The ground separated between them,A hole appears in the ground and a lone goblin climbs out; followed by dozens more, soon there is barely any space left below them, they begin attempting to climb up to Alec and Ada. "Now that's better! HAhahahahahahahaha! Now then I have to ensure I keep this TARDIS FOREVER HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Freddy turned the mocking around His voice seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere all at the same time. "...Guess Who's coming for you! Three, Four Better Lock Your Door! Fix Six, Grab Your Crucifix! Seven, Eight! Better Stay Awake!! NINE! TEN!! NEVER! SLEEP! AGAIIIIIIIN!!!!!" He lunges into the circle. He grabs the TARDIS, by her neck and holds her just away from the flames. "Any last words?"

The Tardis crawled at Freddys arm with one hand as he held her next to the fire, she had, had a plan what was I, ugh linear thinking was so hard, "Any last words?" oh yes “Look For A Weapon Next time.” the Tardis pulled back the metal object with her free hand before the world would go black and rammed it towards freddys midsection as hard as she could.

The flames vanish as soon as Freddy is stabbed in the midsection. He glares at The TARDIS. "You'll pay for that you snooty- Actually no. ALEC WILL! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He vanishes and Walls surround The TARDIS, getting ever closer. Freddy appears in front of of Alec, on his small platform. "Time to die Alec, and this time, there's no coming back!"

Alec's eyebrows drooped sadly at her glare. He placed his hands on Ada's shoulders. "I'm sorry. I really didn't mean for this to happen. At least, now that I'm here-"
The ground erupted. Alec collapsed back against the ground, even as goblins rose from a pit. The Timelord shook his head. "Sisi..." The Sidhe was a magnet for these kind of monsters.
Standing up, Alec looked across the gap. If he could jump... "Time to die Alec, and this time, there's no coming back!"
The Dark Noble cringed. Not again... He checked around. No running now. He would have to man up. Take on Krueger. ...Who was he kidding? He would need something to back him up. Reaching into his jacket, he remembered his memoirs from the Kingdom. Two small pills. He swallowed them each- they tasted horrible. But now he felt different.
"Hit me with you best shot, Krueger." he smirked.

Falling away in the other direction, Ada's eyes filled with fear. The ground collapsed between them, a chasm of liquid filling the gap. And she certainly wasn't going to risk jumping that. She wasn't crazy. At least... not entirely. She backed away quickly, her body hitting the wall as it stopped her. Her arms were still searing from the hot water, and now her head hurt. Shakily Ada took to her feet, and without another thought took down a nearby hallway. She might have been a lot of things, but ready to die wasn't one of them. Of course, neither was an intuitive need to help others, which explained why she could so easily leave Alec to Freddy. But she couldn't worry about him. After all, she didn't know the guy, and he'd gotten her into this mess in the first place. Self preservation. She told herself.
As she ran, Ada recalled how Alec had touched her shoulder. She hadn't liked that too much, honestly. Ada hadn't ever been the kind who took well to boys that jumped into her life all of a sudden. Yet he'd tried to help her. But could this guy be trusted? She was in some huge, endless machine for crying out loud, with a madman controlling it, fleeing for her life. She supposed she'd just deal with it for now. It'd be nice if he lived, he was certainly generous. It'd be a shame to loose someone it was so easy to mooch off of.
Doors, doors everywhere. Red, blue, mauve... who had mauve anything? What a weird color that was. But there were more, in colors she could barely name. Choosing a mustard-colored door, Ada swung it open, then peered in. It was a rather drab looking room, filled with papers. They didn't look particularly important, and the room seemed a bit small. "Not this one." She thought aloud, and chose a maroon door instead. What was this... a chapel? It looked like one, with a tall pulpit in the front, pews everywhere else. What was more, the room was huge. Maybe she could use this one. Quietly closing the door behind her, Ada ran to one of the pews and lay down in it. She could still hear the laughs of Freddy, followed by Alec. Yes, lying down was good for now. This place seemed safe, and there was another door at the back of the room. She could escape, right?
Maybe. Or maybe she would die here, in a church. Funny, Ada thought. never did like church so much. I wonder if Bob and Joan would be proud. She chuckled nervously to herself, lying in a pew, in the middle of the church, at the end of the hall.

"Ooooooh, Ready for a fight are? Well, I, have a better idea. I think I'll go find that nice girl Ada! She's all alone, IN MY CHAPEL! HAhahahahaha!!" Krueger vanishes, leaving Alec by himself.
Ada hears a slow Screeching. sound coming from the front of the chapel, it is a twisted organ. A figure sits playing it, he is wearing a large cloak, slowly he raises and lowers his hood.
The figure is Krueger, he slowly makes his way to Ada, grinning like mad.

Freddy.
Ada had half-expected this, of course. She felt like she was in one of those horror movies she never went to see. Why waste money on something to scare yourself, after all? Ada slowed her breathing, knowing that this would make little difference. He knew she was there, as she knew he was there. Notes flew from the piano, like a blanket unfurled, throwing her mind back to age-old memories. A cross. Lips. Voices. The stained glass windows. Was she back where it had all started? Sitting in a little white dress at the age of seven, staring into the eyes of a stained-glass angel. In her mind's eye she had seen it: stone angels with hands to cover their faces. Just as she now, lying there, covered her face.
Eyes glazed over, Ada rose to meet Freddy. Oh, for an enemy that was pretty. He really wasn't much to look at. His clothing choices, well, she was a bit jealous. Ada had always been partial to long, billowing cloaks that dramatically trailed the person wearing them. If she survived this, Ada promised herself, that was the first thing she would buy. A dark, oversized cloak. Maybe even a trenchcoat. Those were in style still, right?
"I heard the music." Ada said with a detatched coldness, mirroring the detatched outlook her entire being was entering, embracing the mad state of fear and frustration that ate away at her mind. "Didn't think you were a Handel kind of guy." Picking up a large, brass metal cross from the front pew, she continued. "Try Beethoven next time. Maybe Bach."

Alec growled. "That's my chapel."
He was finished with Freddy's nonsense. "And this, is my Tardis."
The goblins fell silent, all gazing up at the Timelord. "I will cast you away, Krueger."
They all stepped to the side, letting by the indisputable ruler of the Tardis. "I will strike you, and you will not stand again."
He stepped into the chapel. His trench coat was his cloak, and he didn't need a hood. "I will crush you under my heel, and you head will forever hang in despair. Remember that, Krueger."
With those words, he extended two fingers. With all the power he could muster from the Materia, lightning extended in a wicked flash, straight at Freddy.

"No, No, NO!" Freddy shrieked as his avatar was destroyed. He fell to the ground hard in the console room, the rooms of Alec's TARDIS returned to normal. Freddy jumped up in a panic, ran to the console intent on re taking control, "Betcha can do that trick twice Alec."
A dark, angry voice rang through out the walls of Alec's TARDIS.
"FREDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Oh No...." Fenric was on The TARDIS.

The Tardis stood up slowly looking around, “heh guess alec must have fixed our little problem then. she headed for the nearest door, heading towards the console room starting to run full out looking down the hallways as she passed them hoping as she went to run into the others, hoping they where alright.

Footsteps sounded behind her. Then a voice she remembered. The boy, the alien boy. The reason she was here. Or was it not his fault at all, but some other power that wanted her here, had brought her here? For her, it might have been the end of all normal life. Perhaps her eyes had been opened to a new plane of existence, something she had always known, but had been just beyond her grasp. With a sigh, and fleeting lucid thought (which was happening less and less as the entire debacle continued, Ada's mind quickly losing its grasp on reality as she entered a state of mental breakdown), Ada turned to Alec. A great beam of electricity stretched out from his palms, and so suddenly too. Still quite detached from the situation, despite being just feet away, Ada thought to herself that this wasn't like a movie at all. There was no slow-motion, no dramatic cuts from one face to the next, just time moving forward as it always had. Yet, she was quickly removed from these musings as a string of wayward sparks hit her arm.
"Augh!"
Ada fell the to floor, clutching her arm. She should have moved away when he started fighting, how could she be so stupid? It hurt a lot more than it should have, she thought. But then, maybe magical electric energy was supposed to hurt that much. Ada dragged herself away a few feet, now wary of Alec, as well as the brown haired girl that she could see from the corner of her eye. She forced herself to stand, indignant despite the way her arm shook. If this was from the reverberating pain or from a mixture of fear and adrenaline, she wasn't sure. Just the same, Ada stared Alec down. He seemed like he would be worthwhile to stay around, after all. Might as well hang around him, at least for a while. Until she died.
"Look who's back." Came her voice in a pained chuckle. The day got better and better.

He scrunched up his eyes. "Oh...sorry. Bad side effect." he apologized.
"Look who's back." Ada commented.
Alec shrugged. "Just in time, it seems. I should think," he grinned here, "You would be thanking me. Fortunately, I've saved your life enough recently to know that isn't going to happened." it was obvious he was joking, but he turned and walked towards the door.
He turned his head. "Since I'm obviously so appalling to be around, I can drop you off where I found you. No questions asked. I won't even buy you lunch- you can forget it ever happened. Does that sound good to you?" he asked.
The Timelord was laboring under the impression that they were in perfect safety. Of course, there wasn't a threat in their face yet, and they didn't have to worry about death traps.

The Tardis stuck her head around a corner of the door at the end of the room “So... pain in the necks gone then? Prick caused me to brake a nail.” she walked into the room and leaned against the wall watching the other two. As skeptical as she was about the people Alec “brought” home she had to admit this had been fun, flustering because she had been “kicked” out of her home but it had still been fun.

Ada rolled her eyes. Yeah, yeah, he'd saved her. Now this full of himself boy would get to put himself on a pedestal and feel just wonderful about himself. She'd never really cared for knights in shining armor. But after all that, maybe just a little thank you was in order. Ada opened her mouth to speak it, but was interrupted as Alec turned to face her, amending his earlier words. Forget this had ever happened? What, did he really think she was that daft?
"Um, no?" Her reply sounded flat and sarcastic as it rolled off her tongue. "You honestly think that me, some random street urchin, is going to go back to all that? I've been running around this... building or whatever of yours, being chased by a madman, almost died a bunch of times, and just now I saw you shoot freaking lightning or something from your hands." She crossed her arms, smiling wryly. "I don't know what the heck you are, or what you're doing half the time, but I'm not leaving yet."
Had she really been so rude? Ada didn't mean for that to happen, it just had a tendency to. She sighed. Time to make up now, swallow her pride and make this self-important fellow feel like he'd won. He had really nice hair, she noted, taking a few steps closer. When Ada had closed the gap between them, suffering mere feet from her face to Alec's (which really was a lot closer than she was comfortable with), she spoke again.
"Look, thanks for saving me and all that, it was nice of you. I'd really like it if you didn't punish me for not falling at your feet by dropping me back off on the street." No, that didn't sound right. She hoped he wouldn't get mad now, dying from this guy's laser hands didn't seem like a nice prospect. ""Just--augh. What I mean is, I'm not used to getting saved. Alright? Don't take it personally, I'm just not really the kind of girl people come back for." She shrugged. "You still haven't told me what you are, Mister Alien."
