The three of them ran onto the village green, where the Doctor grabbed the nurse's phone.

"The sun's going out, and you're photographing a man and a dog. Why?" the Doctor asked him.

The man turned to Amy. "Amy?"

"Hi! Oh, this is Rory, he's a friend".

"Boyfriend".

"Kind of boyfriend".

"Amy!"

"Man and dog. Why?" the Doctor asked.

"Oh my God, it's him", Rory said.

"Just answer his question, please", Amy told him.

"It's him, though. The Doctor. The Raggedy Doctor".

"Yeah, he came back".

"But he was a story. He was a game".

They didn't have time for this! The Doctor grabbed Rory by his scrubs and got in his face. "Man and dog. Why? Tell me now", the Doctor demanded.

"Sorry. Because he can't be there. Because he's..." Rory said.

"In a hospital, in a coma", the Doctor spoke with him.

"Yeah".

"Knew it. Multiform, you see?"

He let go of Rory and smoothed out his scrubs. "Disguise itself as anything, but it needs a life feed. A psychic link with a living but dormant mind". He poked Rory in the forehead.

Prisoner Zero found them and started barking at them.

"Prisoner Zero", the Doctor said, stepping closer to him.

Elise ran forward and grabbed the Doctor's hand while hiding behind him.

"What? There's a Prisoner Zero too?" Rory asked.

"Yes", Amy told him.

A spaceship with an eyeball came down from the sky.

The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver. "See, that ship up there is scanning this area for non-terrestrial technology. And nothing says non-terrestrial like a sonic screwdriver". He pressed the button as he held to the sky.

The streetlights started to explode and car alarms started to go off.

"I think someone's going to notice, don't you?" He pointed it at a red phone box which blew up.

The screwdriver had been pushed to its limits and it exploded in the Doctor's hand.

He dropped it as it smoked and sizzled. "No, no! No, don't do that! Argh!" The Doctor turned to look at Elise. "I am so making you a sonic screwdriver!"

"Look, it's going", Rory said as the spaceship flew off.

"No, come back. He's here!" the Doctor yelled, "Come back! He's here. Prisoner Zero is here. Come back, he's here! Prisoner Zero is..."

"Doctor! The drain. It just sort of melted and went down the drain", Amy told him.

"Well, of course it did".

"What do we do now?"

"It's hiding in human form. We need to drive it into the open. No TARDIS, no screwdriver, seventeen minutes. Come on, think. Think!"

"So that thing, that hid in my house for twelve years?"

"Multiforms can live for millennia. Twelve years is a pit-stop".

"So how come you show up again on the same day that lot do? The same minute!"

"They're looking for him, but they followed me. They saw me through the crack, got a fix, they're only late because I am".

"What's he on about?" Rory asked.

"Nurse boy, give me your phone", the Doctor told him.

"How can he be real? He was never real".

"Phone. Now. Give me".

Rory handed him the phone. "He was just a game. We were kids. You made me dress up as him".

"These photos, they're are all coma patients?" the Doctor asked as he flicked through the photos.

"Yeah", Rory answered.

"No, they're all the multiform. Eight comas, eight disguises for Prisoner Zero".

"He had a dog, though. There's a dog in a coma?" Amy asked.

"Well, the coma patient dreams he's walking a dog, Prisoner Zero gets a dog. Laptop! Your friend, what was his name? Not him, the good-looking one".

"Thanks", Rory said.

"Jeff", Amy told the Doctor.

"Oh, thanks", Rory repeated.

"He had a laptop in his bag. A laptop. Big bag, big laptop. I need Jeff's laptop. You two, get to the hospital. Get everyone out of that ward. Clear the whole floor. Phone me when you're done", the Doctor ordered. He grabbed Elise's hand and they started to run back to Mrs. Angelo's house. The Doctor entered the house and turned to Elise. "Stay down here", he told her.

She shook her head as she furrowed her little brows.

"I'll be right back", he said kissing her forehead. He ran up the stairs, leaving Elise in the living room.

The living room didn't look much different from a Timelord's living room. Maybe humans weren't that different from Timelords. They looked like them, but how similar was their culture?

Elise looked out the window at the blue sky. She'd miss the burnt orange color of Gallifrey. Before she could feel too sad, the Doctor came running down the stairs.

"C'mon", he told Elise.

They ran out the front door.

"Need to get to the hospital", he muttered. He spotted the abandoned fire engine and pulled her over to it. He climbed in the driver seat and placed Elise in his lap.

Luckily the firemen had left the keys in the ignition.

"Hold on", the Doctor told Elise as he put it in drive.

Rory's phone started ringing.

Elise pulled it out of his pocket and handed it to him.

"Amy?" he asked, "What? Look in the mirror. Don't worry, I've commandeered a vehicle". He reached up and turned the siren on.

Elise wondered what this thing was. What was its purpose?

Rory's phone started to ring again.

"Are you in?" he asked Amy, "You need to get out of there. Amy? Amy, what's happening? Amy, talk to me! Which window are you? Which window?"

Elise and the Doctor were quickly approaching the hospital. They pulled up to the right window and the Doctor sent Amy a text saying "Duck!" as the ladder extended. It went crashing through the window.

"Hop on", the Doctor told Elise.

She wrapped her arms around his neck as he climbed the ladder. When they got inside, he set Elise down on the ground and she ran over to Amy and Rory.

"Right! Hello. Am I late? No, three minutes to go. So still time", the Doctor said.

"Time for what, Time Lord?" Prisoner Zero asked.

"Take the disguise off. They'll find you in a heartbeat. Nobody dies".

"The Atraxi will kill me this time. If I am to die, let there be fire".

"Okay. You came to this world by opening a crack in space and time. Do it again. Just leave".

"I did not open the crack".

"Somebody did".

"The cracks in the skin of the universe, don't you know where they came from? You don't, do you?" The voice changed to a little girl's. "The Doctor in the TARDIS doesn't know. Doesn't know. Doesn't know!" it taunted before changing back to an adult voice. "The universe is cracked. The Pandorica will open. Silence will fall".

The clock on the wall changed to 0:00.

"And we're off! Look at that. Look at that! Yeah, I know, just a clock. Whatever. But do you know what's happening right now? In one little bedroom, my team are working. Jeff and the world. And do you know what they're doing? They're spreading the word all over the world, quantum fast. The word is out. And do you know what the word is? The word is Zero. Now, me, if I was up in the sky in a battleship, monitoring all Earth communications, I'd probably take that as a hint. And if I had a whole battle fleet surrounding the planet, I'd be able track a simple old computer virus to its source in, what, under a minute? The source, by the way, is right here". He pulled out Rory's phone as a bright light came from outside. "Oh! And I think they just found us!"

"The Atraxi are limited. While I'm in this form, they'll still be unable to detect me. They've tracked a phone, not me", Prisoner Zero told him.

"Yeah, but this is the good bit. I mean, this is my favorite bit. Do you know what this phone is full of? Pictures of you. Every form you've learned to take, right here. Ooo, and being uploaded about now. And the final score is, no TARDIS, no screwdriver, two minutes to spare. Who da man?"

No one said anything.

"Oh, I'm never saying that again. Fine", the Doctor muttered.

"Then I shall take a new form", Prisoner Zero told him.

"Oh, stop it. You know you can't. It takes months to form that kind of psychic link".

"And I've had years".

Amy collapsed to the ground.

The Doctor ran over to them. "No! Amy? You've got to hold on. Amy? Don't sleep! You've got to stay awake, please".

Rory and Elise watched as Prisoner Zero transformed into the Doctor.

"Doctor", Rory told him.

The Doctor looked up. "Well, that's rubbish. Who's that supposed to be?"

"It's you".

"Me? Is that what I look like?"

"You don't know?"

"Busy day".

The Doctor jumped to his feet. "Why me, though? You're linked with her. Why are you copying me?"

"I'm not", Prisoner Zero said. A copy of little Amelia came out and held the Doctor's hand. "Poor Amy Pond. Still such a child inside. Dreaming of the magic Doctor she knows will return to save her. What a disappointment you've been. How fair is it that one little girl gets to go with you and the other doesn't?"

"No, she's dreaming about me because she can hear me". He ran back over to Amy and knelt down next to her. "Amy, don't just hear me, listen. Remember the room, the room in your house you couldn't see. Remember you went inside. I tried to stop, but you did. You went in the room. You went inside. Amy, dream about what you saw".

"No. No. No!" Prisoner Zero yelled. Prisoner Zero transformed into a snake like creature.

"Well done, Prisoner Zero. A perfect impersonation of yourself", the Doctor told them.

"Prisoner Zero is located. Prisoner Zero is restrained", the voice of the Atraxi said.

"Silence, Doctor. Silence will fall", Prisoner Zero said before disappearing with a rush of wind.

The Doctor ran over to the window before pulling out Rory's phone as he angrily typed.

"The sun. It's back to normal, right? That's, that's good, yeah? That means it's over?" Rory asked.

Amy opened her eyes.

"Amy. Are you okay? Are you with us?" Rory asked her.

"What happened?"

"He did it. The Doctor did it".

"No, I didn't", the Doctor told him.

"What are you doing?"

"Tracking the signal back. Sorry in advance".

"About what?"

"The bill". The Doctor held the phone up to his ear as he started speaking. "Oi, I didn't say you could go! Article fifty seven of the Shadow Proclamation. This is a fully established level five planet, and you were going to burn it? What? Did you think no-one was watching? You lot, back here, now". He hung up and tossed the phone back to Rory. "Okay, now I've done it".

"Did he just bring them back? Did he just save the world from aliens and then bring all the aliens back again?" Rory asked as the Doctor, Elise, and Amy ran out of the ward.

"Where are you going?" Amy asked him.

"The roof. No, hang on". He ran into a locker room.

"What's in here?" Amy asked as he rifled through clothes.

"I'm saving the world - I need a decent shirt. To hell with the raggedy. Time to put on a show". He hurriedly started to button his shirt.

"You just summoned aliens back to Earth. Actual aliens, deadly aliens, aliens of death, and now you're taking your clothes off. Amy, he's taking his clothes off", Rory said.

"Turn your back if it embarrasses you", the Doctor told him.

"Are you stealing clothes now? Those clothes belong to people, you know!" Rory turned around.

Amy put her hand over Elise's eyes. She might have been an alien, but she was still a child.

"Are you not going to turn your back?" Rory asked Amy.

"No".
