All I'm going to say is that I'm nervous for this one and you should be too.

Hollie watched standing beside Nova as the Doctor scanned the Pandorica. Amy crossed her arms watching the Time Lord a few feet away. "So what's this got to do with the TARDIS?"

"Nothing, as far as I know," he replied not looking up from his screwdriver as he scanned the Pandorica again.

"But Vincent's painting." Amy frowned. "The TARDIS was exploding. Is that going to happen?"

"One problem at a time." He told her and frowned, looking at Nov. "There's forcefield technology inside this box. If we can enhance the signal, we could extend it all over Stonehenge. Could buy us half an hour."

Nova tilted her head thoughtfully. "Could easily get us an hour."

The Doctor raised a brow as Amy sighed. "What good is half an hour?"

"There are fruit flies that live on Hoppledom Six that live for twenty minutes and they don't even mate for life."

Hollie frowned. "Your point?"

The Doctor smirked slightly. "Yeah. there was going to be a point to that." He shook his head. "I'll get back to you with that one."

She shook her head as Nova tapped the Pandorica. Amy walked over to the Doctor, whispering to him: "Are you proposing to Hollie?"

The Doctor stared at her eyes wide. Why would she even say that? "I'm sorry?"

"I found this in your pocket." She held out the ring.

"No. No, no, that's er, a memory. A friend of mine. Someone I lost."

Hollie looked over in wonder and swallowed hard seeing what was in Amy's hand, tears brimmed her eyes. Nova stopped scanning and walked towards the other blonde, lightly placing a hand on her shoulder in comfort.

"It's weird. I feel, I don't know, something."

The Doctor's eyes flickered to Hollie for a moment as the blonde slowly wandered away from the pair. "People fall out of the world sometimes, but they always leave traces. Little things we can't quite account for. Faces in photographs, luggage, half-eaten meals, rings. Nothing is ever forgotten, not completely. And if something can be remembered, it can come back."

"So, was she nice, your friend?"

"Remember that night you flew away with me?" He suddenly asked.

"Of course I do."

"And you asked me why I was taking you and I told you there wasn't a reason. I was lying."

"What, so you did have a reason?" She tilted her head at him.

"Your house."

"My house?"

"It was too big. Too many empty rooms. Does it ever bother you, Amy, that your life doesn't make any sense?"

Hollie screamed, the Doctor and Amy ducking behind the Pandorica with Nova pulling Hollie behind it with her as an energy weapon shot directly at them.

"What was that?" Amy asked eyes wide.

"Not the foggiest, Nova any idea?"

"Didn't get a good look." She replied.

"Okay, I need a proper look." He told them. "Got to draw its fire, give it a target."

Hollie looked at the Time Lord. "How are you going to do that?"

The Doctor smiled at her. "You know how sometimes I have really brilliant ideas?"

Hollie sighed having a small idea of what he may be thinking about doing. "Doctor..."

"Sorry." He apologised before running out into the open and holding his arms wide. "Look at me, I'm a target!"

"Doctor!" Hollie screeched running out without even thinking and tackling the Doctor to the ground behind one of the rock pillars.

"Why did you follow me!?" He exclaimed.

"You tried to get yourself shot!" She shouted, slapping him across the face before her eyes widened and a hand flew to her mouth, the other cradling the Doctor's cheek. "I'm sorry I-"

"Ow!" He complained and narrowed his eyes at her. "Holls!"

"You absolute idiot!" She exclaimed telepathically, the Doctor winced as Hollie let go of his arm and spoke aloud. "You tried to get yourself shot."

"You slapped me!" He huffed frowning at her.

"Enough." Amy cut in. "What is that thing?"

"Cyberarm." The Doctor replied. "Arm of Cyberman."

"And what's a Cyberman?"

"Oh, sort of part man, part robot." He explained. "The organic part must have died out years ago. Now the robot part is looking for, well, fresh meat."

"What, us?"

Nova nodded, and Amy's eyes widened.

"It's just like being an organ donor," the Doctor explained, "except you're alive and sort of screaming. I need to get round behind it. Could you draw its fire?"

"What, like you did?"

"You'll be fine if you're quick. Nova will look after you," He reassured nodding at the blonde. "It can't target all of you it's only got one arm, literally."

Amy sighed. "Follow me, Amy," Nova ordered, running out from behind the Pandorica. Amy followed screaming as the Cyberman's arm shot at them.

"Come here!" The Doctor shouted, diving at the Cyberman's arm.

"Hollie!" Nova shouted, throwing her screwdriver at the blonde. "Point and think!"

Hollie caught the screwdriver and the Doctor wrestled with the arm as Hollie winced avoiding the shots of the Cyberman's arm as she activated the screwdriver. "Turn off, turn off, turn off!" She shouted.

The Cyberman arm suddenly stopped wiggling and shooting and the Doctor brought out his sonic, scanning it as Amy poked her head out from behind the Pandorica. "Doctor?"

"You scrambled it's circuits." The Doctor blinked at Hollie before he grinned. "Nice job Holls!'

Amy went to move out and the Doctor looked at the ginger. "But stay where you are, it could be bluffing."

"Bluffing?" She looked at the Time Lord. "It's an arm."

"I said stay where you are!" He ordered.

Amy crossed her arms and stood back, leaning against the stone pillar, she looked down as something wrapped around her foot and her eyes widened. "Doctor!" She screamed as she suddenly was pulled back.

"Amy!" The Doctor shouted, going to stand up with Hollie. The Cyberman arm suddenly sent out an electric shock knocking the Time Lord out.

As well as Hollie who was held onto his arm, the two of them fell back to the floor.

Novas eyes widened as Amy wrestled against the cyberman head, its mask now open in two, snapping open and closed as Amy fought to keep it away.

Nova ran over to the Doctor and Hollie, going to grab her screwdriver, her eyes widened in horror as the Cyberman arm suddenly launched at her, grabbing at her throat.

"Doctor!" Amy screamed. "Nova!" She hit the Cyberman head against the stone pillar over and over before throwing it at the floor.

Meanwhile, Nova clawed at the arm, falling to the floor beside Hollie, her arm scrambling around for her screwdriver, her teeth gritted before she suddenly found it and activated the sonic device, jabbing it at the arm and sending a pulse through it. Nova fell back coughing and panting deeply. She eyes widened as she recovered and she scrambled to her feet, screwdriver tightly clutched in her hand. "Amy?" She whispered quietly poking her head past the pillar.

She watched the ginger wave one of the lit torches in front of a Cyberman with only one arm as it slowly walked towards her, she fell back through the large doors which shut behind her. A moment later a Centurian marched up to the Cyberman blissfully unaware before it had a sword stabbed straight through its back and through the wooden door.

Nova chuckled slightly walking towards the Centurion as the wooden doors slowly opened and Amy blinked, wobbling as she stared at the man before she fainted and the Centurion picked her up bridal style and gently placed her down on a large stone rock.

"Rory." Nova nodded at the man, crossing her arms and walking over to him.

"You're not shocked?" He frowned.

"I've seen you in the future." She chuckled. "It's not a surprise to me that you're alive."

"Right." He nodded remembering that small detail. "Forgot about that for a moment."

"Sir, the man's coming round." Another Roman walked in.

The Doctor groaned, his eyes widening as he scanned over Hollie and sighed satisfied with the results. He kissed her forehead before standing up and running to where Rory had just put Amy down. "Amy? Where's Amy?"

"She's fine, Doctor. Just unconscious."

Hollie followed in after, her head snapping over and her eyes falling on one of her best friends. She froze, her eyes widened and her mouth fell open. "Oh my god." She breathed.

"Okay. Yes, she's sedated, that's all." The Doctor nodded, not noticing the blonde's reaction as he scanned Amy with his screwdriver. "Half an hour, she'll be fine. Okay, Romans. Good. I was just wishing for Romans. Good old River, Orion and Cass. How many?"

"Fifty men up top, volunteers," Rory answered. "What about that thing?" He nodded at the Cyberman.

"Fifty? You're not exactly a legion." The Doctor scoffed.

"Your friends were very persuasive, but it's a tough sell."

"Yes, I know that, Rory." The Doctor huffed. "I'm not exactly one to miss the obvious. But we need everything we can get. Okay, Cyberweapons." He nodded, picking up two Cyberman weapons, one in each hand and hitting the dead Cyberman with it. "This is basically a sentry box, so headless wonder here was a sentry. Probably got himself duffed up by the locals. Never underestimate a Celt." He told Nova.

Hollie continued to stare at Rory as she quietly asked: "Nova am I dreaming?"

"Nope." The other blonde replied. "That's him."

Hollie swallowed hard, tears welling up in her eyes as she walked towards one of her best friends.

"Hush Holls, I'm thinking." The Doctor ordered before continuing to speak as Hollie threw her arms around Rory, hugging him tightly: "Why leave a Cyberman on guard, unless it's a Cyberthing in the box? But why would they lock up one of their own?" He shook his head. "Okay, no, not a Cyberthing, but what? What? No, I'm missing something obvious, Rory." He stared at Rory as Hollie wiped her eyes finally letting him go. "Something big. Something right slap in front of me. I can feel it."

"Yeah," He slowly replied as Hollie let out a watery laugh wiping her eyes again. "I think you probably are."

"I'll get it in a minute."

"Three," Nova said holding up three fingers as the Doctor carried the Cyber weapons out of the room. "Two." She put a finger down. "One" The weapons clattered to the ground and the Doctor quickly reentered, walking straight up to Rory and slowly poking him in the chest.

Hollie giggled tears slipping down her cheeks. "Hello again." The Time Lord greeted.

"Hello."

"How've you been?"

"Good. Yeah." He nodded. "Good. I mean, Roman."

"Rory, I'm not trying to be rude, but you died."

"Yeah, I know. I was there."

"You died and then you were erased from time. You didn't just die, you were never born at all. You never existed." His eyes flickered to Hollie. "Next time I'm that oblivious just slap me Holls."

Hollie giggled wiping her cheeks as Rory frowned. "Erased? What does that mean?"

"How can you be here?"

"I don't know. It's kind of fuzzy."

The Doctor looked at him curiously as he repeated in a whisper. ""Fuzzy?"

"Well, I died and turned into a Roman. It's very distracting." He looked at Hollie as he gently stroked Amy's hair, the ginger stirring slightly. "Did she miss me?"

Hollie opened her mouth trying to think of something quick before she looked up with the Doctor, Nova and Rory as the ground shook. The Time Lord ran out of the room and into the Pandorica's chamber, the box's circular designs glowing green as they moved almost like cogs.

"What is it?" Rory asked. "What's happening?"

"The final phase." The Doctor stated, taking Hollies hand as he swallowed hard. "It's opening."

×××

"You're surrounded," River informed the Doctor while using her device to call him, Orion and Cassiopeia beside her. "Have you got a plan?"

"Yes. Now hurry up and get the TARDIS here. I need equipment."

River rolled her eyes. Cassiopeia snickered slightly making the curly-haired woman shoot her an annoyed look.

"Don't look at me like that, it's not my fault he's like this." She held her hands up.

"One day you three will give him grey hairs then it will be your fault he's like that."

Cassiopeia huffed while Orion shook his head. "We better do what he asked, we all know what he can get like."

"Yeah, I do not want to see that," Cassiopeia replied.

×××

"What are you? " The Doctor whispered at the Pandorica, running his hand over it as the cogs turned, He looked at Hollie as she knelt beside him. "They're all here, all of them," he looked at the blonde. "All for it." He looked back at the box. "What could you possibly be?" He frowned. "I should have made you go with River." He shook his head at Hollie. "Kept you safely away from this mess."

"And left you here with all that above?" She crossed her arms at him. "Who's going to rescue you from them all? And what about Amy?"

The Doctor opened his mouth to protest and sighed. "Oh, Holls." He softly smiled before taking her hand. "Come on, I got an idea."

×××

Hollie followed the Doctor up the stairs to above ground, Nova following behind them with Rory. The Doctor used his sonic on the device River had given him before she left. It suddenly made a loud feedback sound as the Doctor dropped it. "Sorry, sorry, dropped it." He apologised. Hollie swallowed hard looking up at all the spaceships flying around in the sky, bright lights shone down on Stonehenge lighting up the entire area as Romans stood around with swords and shields in their hands. "Hello, Stonehenge!" The Doctor greeted. "Who takes the Pandorica, takes the universe. But bad news, everyone," he paused for a moment and jumped on the stone they had moved earlier that evening. "Because guess who?" He laughed, looking up at the spaceships, "Ha! Listen, you lot, you're all whizzing about. It's really very distracting. Could you all just stay still a minute because I am talking!" He bellowed and waited as the ships moving about all suddenly slowed down. Hollie watched in amazement from beside the stone the Doctor was standing on. "The question of the hour is, who's got the Pandorica? Answer, I do. Next question. Who's coming to take it from me?" He looked around at the ships. "Come on! Look at me. No plan, no backup, no weapons worth a damn. Oh, and something else. I don't have anything to lose!" He held his arms out momentarily. "So, if you're sitting up there in your silly little spaceship, with all your silly little guns, and you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight, just remember who's standing in your way. Remember every black day I ever stopped you, and then," he shouted before managing to shout even louder, "and then, do the smart thing. Let somebody else try first."

Hollie laughed as the spaceships all retreated. The Doctor smirked, jumping off the stone, he took Hollies hand, twirling her around, Nova shook her head at the pair. "That'll keep them squabbling for half an hour." He stated tossing Rory the device before gently kissing Hollies hand. "Romans." He fondly remarked heading back inside the Pandorica chamber with Hollie beside him.

×××

Orion, Cassiopeia and River finally made their way into the TARDIS. Orion pulled a lever on the console and the TARDIS jerked. "What did you do?" Cassiopeia looked at her brother frowning.

"Me!" He accused. "It's not my fault." He huffed, trying again only for the TARDIS to jerk and groan out. "It's not my fault!"

River tried next, getting the same result, she looked at the rotor puzzled as Cassiopeia patted the console. "What's the matter with you?"

×××

"They're still out there," Rory told the Doctor. "What do we do now?"

"If I can stop whatever's in this box getting out, then they'll go home." He pointed his thumb at the Pandorica.

"Right." He nodded.

Hollie swallowed hard as Amy walked towards them clutching her head.

"Rory, I'm sorry. You're going to have to be very brave now." The Doctor informed the man as Amy walked right past Rory, towards the Doctor, Hollie and Nova.

"Oh, my head." She complained.

"Ah." The Doctor said, opening wide, Amy mimicked him and the Doctor looked inside her mouth before chuckling and patting her back. "Just your basic knock-out drops. Get some fresh air, you'll be fine."

"Is it safe up there?" The ginger asked.

"Not remotely, but it's fresh." He answered.

"Fine." She huffed and turned around, she blinked and stopped suddenly in her tracks as she came face to face with Rory, who she could not remember. "Oh, you're the guy, yeah?" She questioned as she mimicked a sword. "The one who did the swordy thing."

His face fell and Hollie held back her wince as he nodded. "Yeah."

"Well, thanks for the swording." She nodded slightly, moving past him, "Nice swording."

"No problem." He muttered before spinning around. "My men are up there. They'll look after you."

"Good." She put her thumb up as she muttered: "Love a Roman."

Hollie hung her head as Rory turned to the Doctor. "She doesn't remember me. How can she not remember me?"

"Because you never existed." Was the Doctors reply.

×××

Orion frowned up at the TARDIS as it groaned again and continued to fly. "What are you doing?" River asked the machine as it shook. "What's wrong?"

"Whatever it is, it doesn't sound good," Cassiopeia muttered glancing up at the rotor.

×××

Nova crossed her arms watching the Doctor use his sonic to scan the Pandorica as it continued to slowly open. "There are cracks." The Doctor explained, his eyes fixed on the box. "Cracks in time. There's going to be a huge explosion in the future, on one particular day. And every other moment in history is cracking around it."

"So how does that work?" Rory asked. "What kind of explosion? What exploded?"

Nova watched the Doctor closely as he tensed slightly. "Doesn't matter." He dismissed. "The cracks are everywhere now. Get too close to them and you can fall right out of the universe."

"So I fell through a crack and now I was never born?" He guessed.

"Basically."

"Well, how did I end up here?"

"I don't know, you shouldn't have. " The Doctor stopped scanning and turned to the man. "What happened? From your point of view, what physically happened?"

"I was in the cave, with you, Amy, Hollie, Orion, Cassiopeia and Nova and I was dying, and then I was just here, a Roman soldier. A proper Roman. Head full of Roman stuff. A whole other life, just here like I'd woken up from a dream. I started to think it was a dream, you and Amy, Hollie and Leadworth." He turned away from them. "And then today, in the camp, the men were talking about the visitors. The girl with the red hair. I thought you'd come back for me. But she can't even remember me." He shook his head and laughed bitterly.

"Oh, shut up." The Doctor told him.

Rory frowned, turning to the Doctor. "What?"

Hollie smiled as the Doctor tossed the ring box to Rory. "Go get her."

"But I don't understand." He looked at him puzzled. "Why am I here?"

"Because you are." The Doctor said, walking towards the man. "The universe is big. It's vast and complicated and ridiculous, and sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles, and that's the theory." He nodded. "Nine hundred years, never seen one yet, but this would do me. Now get upstairs. She's Amy and she's surrounded by Romans. I'm not sure history can take it."

Hollie chuckled slightly and watched Rory head to the stairway before her laughter died down and she frowned, "I don't understand though."

"What is it?" He questioned.

"How come I can Rory yet Amy still can't?"

"And how you remembered the Daleks." He added, looking away for a moment as he thought deeply on the matter. "And you remembered the Cybermen..."

"It still doesn't explain how I remembered Rory."

"Any ideas Nova?" The Doctor looked at the blonde who put down the device in her hands and walked over to them.

"Energy is a funny thing." She began, looking between the Time Lord and the woman before she tilted her head and looked away from them, frowning slightly as she thought of a way to try and describe it without giving away too much. "There's different sorts of energy but time energy is something else entirely."

"Time energy?" Hollie frowned. "What's that got to do with anything?"

The Doctor frowned. "Time energy?"

"That's all I can say." She shrugged. "It's too early."

The Doctor huffed shaking his head. "At least you didn't say the 's' word."

Hollie looked at him. "Shit?"

He rolled his eyes and corrected her: "Spoilers."

"Oh." She blinked. "Right."

×××

Orion, Cassiopeia and River all looked around as the TARDIS stopped creaking and shaking. "Okay." River looked at the console. "You okay now?" She headed to the doors. Orion and Cassiopeia went to follow, swallowing hard as they noticed the scanner crack in the same shape as the cracks in time. "This isn't going to be fun," Orion commented as he headed out of the TARDIS.

River frowned looking at the outside of Amy's house. "Why have you brought me here?" She muttered before shining a torch down on the grass, the torch showing scorch marks, she shone her torch at the house as she walked closer before spotting the front door hanging off its hinges. "Okay, so something's been here," River stated.

Orion and Cassiopeia followed River through the house, the blonde's scanner leading them upstairs to Amy's bedroom. Orion glanced around, shining a torch and raised a brow noticing a pretty good sketch of the TARDIS. River shone her light on a desk by the window and shook her head at home-made paper dolls of the Doctor. "Oh, Doctor, why do I let you out?" She then picked up a book. Orion looked over her shoulder and read the title 'The Story of Roman Britain'.

"That's the commander." Orion pointed out, his eyes looking at the image of the Roman soldier on the front cover.

Cassiopeia nodded at a copy of 'The Legend of Pandora's Box." hidden under a few other books. "And there's Pandora's box."

"Oh no." River breathed.

"The TARDIS," The Doctor's voice suddenly came through River's device. "Where is it? Hurry up."

"Don't raise your voice, don't look alarmed, just listen." She ordered, pausing so he could listen. "They're not real. They can't be. They're all right here in the storybook. Those actual Romans. The ones I sent you, the ones you're with right now." She flicked through a few of the pages. "They're all in a book in Amy's house. A children's picture book."

"What are you even doing there?" He questioned.

"It doesn't matter. The TARDIS went wrong. Doctor, how is this possible?"

The Doctor looked at Hollie and Nova, "You two check on Amy and Rory."

Nova nodded. Hollie frowned before she reluctantly followed the other blonde to the stairs, they headed to where Amy and Rory sat on one of the stones.

"Something's using her memories." The Doctor explained after they left. "Amy's memories."

"But how?"

"You said something had been there."

"Yes. There are burn marks on the grass outside. Landing patterns."

"If they've been to her house, they could have used her psychic residue. Structures can hold memories, that's why houses have ghosts. They could've taken a snapshot of Amy's memories. But why?"

"Doctor, who are those Romans?"

"Projections, or duplicates." He guessed.

River shook her head. "But they were helping us. My lipstick even worked."

"They might think they're real. The perfect disguise. They actually believe their own cover story, right until they're activated."

River's eyes widened as her eyes fell upon a photo of Rory on Amy's desk. He was dressed in a Roman costume while Amy was dressed in her policewoman outfit. "Doctor, that Centurion." The Doctor shook his head, now pacing. "It's a trap," River stated quickly as she headed back out of the house and towards the TARDIS with the twins. "It has to be. They used Amy to construct a scenario you'd believe, to get close to you."

"Why?" He asked. "Who'd do that? What for? It doesn't make sense."

×××

The TARDIS suddenly sparked when River went to dematerialise as sparks flew, Cassiopeia yelped loudly and Orion jumped back with River. "River?" The Doctor questioned. "Orion, Cass, what's happening?"

"I don't know. It's the engines." River replied, struggling to control the TARDIS. "Doctor, there's something wrong with the TARDIS, like something else is controlling it."

"You're flying it wrong." He huffed.

"We're flying it perfectly. You taught us!" She snapped back.

The Doctor frowned. "Where are you? What's the date reading?"

Orion didn't even need to look at the scanner to answer but did so anyway. It's the 26th of June, 2010."

The Doctor stopped pacing, his body going stiff. "You need to get out of there now. Any other time zone." He demanded. "Just go."

"We can't break free!" Cassiopeia shouted.

"Well, then shut down the TARDIS. Shut down everything!" The Time Lord shouted.

"I can't!"

Orion stepped closer to his sister as a deep voice whispered: "Silence will fall. Silence will fall!"

×××

Hollie looked around as all the Romans (apart from Rory) suddenly slumped down over. "Go," Nova ordered seeing the other blonde's eyes flicker to the entrance of the chamber and worry fill in her eyes. "We'll be fine. Go be his Rescuer."

"Listen to me," the Doctor told River, Orion and Cassiopeia, "just land her anywhere. Emergency landing, now. There are cracks in time. I've seen them everywhere, and they're getting wider. The TARDIS exploding is what causes them, but we can stop the cracks ever happening if you just land her."

"It's not safe," Orion replied.

A bright light flooded out of the Pandorica as it suddenly opened. "Doctor!" Hollie shouted running down the stairs.

The Doctor spun on his heels as he looked and pointed at her angrily. "I thought I told you to go to Amy and Rory."

"About that..." she began, looking at the Romans around them before she got cut off as Cassiopeia's voice came through the device. "Doctor? We're down. We've landed."

"Okay, just walk out of the doors." He ordered. "If there's no one inside, the TARDIS engines shut down automatically." He pointed at Hollie. "I'll deal with you in a moment." He gave his device his attention again. "Just get out of there."

"We're going," River told him.

"Run!" He shouted.

Hollie slowly moved through the zombie of Romans standing all slumped over, suddenly their hands became weapons, their fingertips revealing the gun as they straightened.

"Doctor!" Hollie shouted, backing away from the Romans as she spun around before running to him and pulling him away from the Pandorica he was scanning.

The Doctors eyes bulged as he grabbed Hollies hand tightly while shouting: "Amy, Nova!"

×××

"Listen to me," Rory demanded as he struggled to keep his control. "You have to run. You have to get as far away from here as you can. I'm a thing! I'll kill you."

"Amy do as he says," Nova ordered as she cautiously held a hand out towards the ginger.

"Just go!" Rory shouted at them. "Please, no, I don't want to go." He sobbed. "I'm Rory! I'm, I'm-"

"Williams. Rory Williams from Leadworth." Amy stepped closer to him as everything suddenly fell into place and the memories came back to her. "My boyfriend. How could I ever forget you?"

Nova smiled as Rory struggled, his eyes squeezed close as tight as possible. "Amy, you've got to run. "I can't hold on. I'm going."

"You are Rory Williams and you aren't going anywhere ever again." Amy shook her head, softly smiling at him.

×××

The Doctor's eyes widened and he and Hollie spun around as the Romans came towards them pointing their guns. "Not good." The Doctor whispered, interlocking his and Hollies fingers as they backed up towards the Pandorica.

"Where do we run?" Hollie nervously asked.

The Doctor's eyes darted around as he tried to think quickly of a plan. "Here!" He shouted, pulling her away, the Doctor cried out as he and Hollie were both suddenly grabbed around their arms, the Romans hands squeezing so tight Hollie was sure she'd leave with bruises as she was forced to let go of the Doctor's hand, their arms held behind their backs while the Doctor was forced to drop the device in his other hand on the floor just as River cried down it:

"Doctor, we can't open the doors!" The TARDIS sparked and shook violently, Orion tried desperately to pull a lever but nothing worked and the TARDIS groaned possibly worse than before "Doctor, please, we've got seconds!"

The Romans began to march the Doctor and Hollie, away from the Pandorica and towards the exit.

"Plastic Romans. Duplicates, driven by the Nestene Consciousness, eh?" The Doctor looked back and forth between his and Hollies captures, his eyes briefly flickering over to the blonde worryingly. "Deep cover, but what for? What are you doing? What's in there, eh?" He asked another Roman, turning his head again. "What's coming out?"

"The Pandorica is ready." A Roman slightly further away said as the Romans stopped marching resulting in the Doctor and Hollie stopping too.

"What, do you mean it's open?" The Doctor questioned.

Hollie froze beside the Doctor as an all too familiar voice screeched behind them: "You have been scanned, assessed, understood, Doctor."

"Scanned?" The Doctor replied, turning his head to watch as best he could as a white Dalek rolled forward, two other Daleks, one red, one yellow teleporting behind it and following. The Doctor and Hollie were both forcefully turned around to face them. "Scanned by what, a box?"

"Your limits and capacities have been extrapolated." The Dalek answered.

The Doctor watched helplessly as Cybermen, Judoon and Sontarans were the next to teleport down in front of him. "The Pandorica is ready." A Sontaran stepped forward.

Hollie looked at the Time Lord and back at the aliens in complete and utter horror, her eyes worryingly looking at the Doctor as he next asked: "Ready for what?"

Hollie swore she could see the Sontaran smirking as it replied: "Ready for you."

The box finally opened completely with the light that had been shining out disappearing to reveal a single seat inside with metal clamps ready to be fastened down to hold whatever it needed to keep inside as more of the Doctor's enemies teleported themselves down inside the chamber holding the Pandorica to watch.

"No!" Hollie suddenly screamed thrashing against the two Romans holding her with all her might as the Doctor was pulled away from her. He tried to dig his feet into the ground, throwing his arms around with every bone in his body but it was no use, the plastic Romans had a vice-like grip on him.

"Doctor!" She cried heartbroken as tears slowly began to run down her face while she continued to break herself free. Her eyes were completely fixated on the Time Lord as he was dragged past all his greatest enemies, some Hollie couldn't even name before she watched helplessly as the Doctor was turned around and forced down into the seat of the Pandorica. He was fastened into place by clamps on his arms, torso and head holding him completely in place.

"Please..." Hollie croaked through a sob as she stopped fighting against the Romans, they suddenly dragged her forward to the front forced to watch the Doctor be placed in his trap. The rest of the aliens moved closer to look eagerly at the Doctor getting put inside the Pandorica. It wasn't just any prison, it was his.

"You lot, working together." The Doctor stared at them all numbly. "An alliance. How is that possible?"

"The cracks in the skin of the universe." The white Dalek stated.

The Sontaran replied next. "All reality is threatened."

"All universes will be deleted." A Cyberman cut in.

"What? And you've come to me for help?" He looked around at them.

"No." The Sontaran shouted. "We will save the universe from you!"

"From me?" He stared at them wide-eyed. What on Earth were they trying to stop him from doing? Why would he want to hurt the universe?

The Cyberman spoke up somewhat answering his next question. "All projections correlate. All evidence concurs. The Doctor will destroy the universe."

The Doctor shook his head, swallowing hard "No, no, no. You've got it wrong."

"The Pandorica was constructed to ensure the safety of the Alliance."

"A scenario was devised from the memories of your companions." The Sontaran explained.

"A trap the Doctor could not resist." The Cyberman added before the Dalek cut in:

"The cracks in time are the work of the Doctor. It is confirmed."

The Doctor violently shook his head. "No. no, no, not me, the TARDIS. And I'm not in the TARDIS, am I?"

"Only the Doctor can pilot the TARDIS."

"Please, listen to me!" He cried out, trying to throw himself around to break free from the Pandorica.

"You will be prevented."

"Total event collapse! Every sun will supernova at every moment in history. The whole universe will never have existed. Please, listen to me!" He looked around at all his enemies. His eyes widened as they fell onto the blonde woman being held by two Romans at the front, tears streaming from her eyes and a completely heartbroken look on her face. His eyes met hers. "Holls-" He croaked before he snapped his eyes to the Dalek. "At least let her go, she's not involved." He begged.

Another one of the Nestenes handguns suddenly was touching the side of Hollie's head and his eyes snapped to it in fear. "No!" He screamed as she flinched away from the gun as best as she could as she trembled. "Leave Hollie Aria out of this!" He begged. "She has nothing to do with this! Please!"

"The Rescuer is a threat to the Alliance." One of the Cybermen replied a moment before another raised its hand to Hollie, pointing it at her chest.

"Holliaet Aria has nothing to do with any of this!" He snapped angrily, crying now, "She doesn't even know how to fly the TARDIS!"

"Seal the Pandorica." The Cyber leader commanded, ignoring the Doctor.

The Doctor's mouth fell open in horror and his eyes widened impossibly further, he watched completely and utterly horrified and in shock as Hollie, his wonderful, absolutely incredible Hollie screamed the most horrific scream he had ever heard and fell to the dusty floor clutching her chest in pain seconds after she was shot as the doors of the Pandorica closed around him. His eyes fixated on hers as darkness filled the void of the Pandorica.
