in the thorns of what looked like a tree. As the strange birds became more comfortable perched upon the sharp branches, the tree closed up and swallowed the birds whole. Nick stepped back as the plant-like creature opened it’s thorny mouth back up.    
“Did you see that?” Yelled Nick.
“See what?” Asked Jonah.
The Protector broke from her day dreaming. “Oh yeah, watch out for any plants with teeth.” She said walking casually towards them.
“I don’t like plants anymore.” Said Nick feeling a little uncomfortable. “I’ve never heard of this planet.”
“Well, this was never on the P.H.O.5. Test.” Laughed Jonah.
“What kinds of other things live here besides plants?” Asked Nick.
“Nothing too exciting.” She shortly replied, walking ahead.
“So what exactly are we looking for?” Asked Jonah.
“We’ll know when we see it.” She said.
Jonah stopped after walking in front of her. “You just expect us to trust you in everything, we only just met, and so far you haven’t told us anything. You haven’t even told us your real name. What real reason do we have to trust you?” Said Jonah.
Looking him in the eyes the Protector spoke “What alternatives do you have?”  
The noisy sounds of the jungle on Eden seemed to stop, and for a moment the air was still and quiet. Suddenly, Nick yelled out to Jonah and the Protector.
“Come here, quickly!”
His voice was heard coming from deep in the dark jungle. Running towards him the Protector called out, “where are you?”
“I’m over here.” He shouted.
As Jonah and the Protector approached they laid eyes on a giant sphere. It was three stories tall, and it was yellowish in color. Around the gigantic ball, about three hundred large, leathery, green skinned creatures seemed to be constructing it. All of them worked together in this massive project.
“Something’s not right,” said the Protector, “and I know what it is.”
“It’s a giant transporter pod.” Said Jonah.
“Yeah, but this wasn’t here before, this isn’t supposed to be here.”
“You act like you own the place.” Said Jonah.
She just looked at him emotionless.
Nick was still exploring Eden’s twisting jungle. He could see off in the distance a purple light. Walking toward it he called to the others. The light faded in and out in a great pit, as if breathing. The crater was about twenty feet in diameter.
“What is that?” Asked Nick.
“What’s, what?” Asked the Protector.
Jonah walked near the glow in awe.
“I don’t know, but if I were to take a guess I would say, that something is giving off a form of HST-1.” As he looked inside the pit.
“Close,” said the Protector, “it’s…”
“Hear that?” Interrupted Nick turning away to listen.
At that moment a great sound was heard from the hills. In the jungle, and behind the rocks, from all over. The strangest moan was amplified from voices everywhere. Suddenly, from out of the darkest parts of the jungle emerged, like stars, orange glowing eyes. The horrific moan continued, as the large leathery, green skinned creatures revealed themselves. Surrounding the travelers, the creatures held out their sharp, long, black, claws. Their heads were almost clam-shaped. Fur covered their backs and around their arms. Walking towards them in mindless unity.

The beasts were closing in. The three of them felt like prey just before the attack. Nick fired his laser, and Jonah followed his lead, but it was no use. Nick yelled out “gas bombs!” as he pulled the pin and threw three canisters into the open. Following Nick’s lead, Jonah pulled the pins on his, but just before he could throw them, the ground near the pit cracked swallowing Jonah up. The protector grabbed Nick by the arm, and the two of them made their way out of the foggy ambush. They ran until they couldn’t hear the moaning of the beasts. Stopping to catch their breath Nick sat on a large rock.
Noticing his absence the Protector asked, “where’s Jonah?” in near panic.
“Wasn’t he with us?” Said Nick looking at his weapon.
She looked away in the greatest frustration as she put her hand on her head.
“Is he back with the Mandrels?” She yelled.
“The what?”
“Nevermind, come on!” she shouted as she pulled on Nick’s arm. Running through the trees they find themselves face to face with a beast. Turning around again, they are completely surrounded.

Meanwhile, down in the pit. Jonah kept falling as if here was no bottom to the planet. The fall was becoming increasingly bright, as vibrant colors of violet transcended over blues.
Soon all he saw was white, and there was no way to measure how fast or how far he had fallen. He saw pictures in his head, pictures of times past, times forgotten. He could recall planet Eden, why, and when he was there last. It was wonderful and frightening. He could remember who he was. He was a Time Lord.

When Jonah awoke he was in the depths of Eden, he was in a fiery colored lit cave. Before he could even see, he heard a voice.
“The Stranger, Time Lord from Gallifrey, child and traitor.” Said the voice.
“Who are you?” asked Jonah.
“I am before the universe, and I will be after the universe. I am the Nestene!”
Turning around, Jonah sees the fiery colored blob-like creature, sitting in his midst motionless.
“Ego, If I ever saw it personified, or blobified.” Said Jonah.
“And you, so small. Just learning who you are, and finding that you are nothing.” Said the voice.
“Well, I can build my own transporter pod, with my own hands.” Said Jonah.
“I will eat you and this planet!” Yelled the voice.
“But you wont! Because you can’t!”
“I have eaten thousands of planets, this one is no different!”
“But this one is different, and you know it.  There’s a little chemical in this planet called  Vraxoin, and as I remember, it’s poisonous to The Nestene. But it’s everywhere, in the trees, in every living thing, in the rocks above. Leave it to you to crack open a dimensional field right on a planet you can’t eat.” Laughed Jonah. “So, you used your physic energy to control the week minded Mandrels, and use them to build you a pod, so you could fly on over to another planet and eat away. The same physic energy that gave me back my memory.”
“There are many hungry Nestene waiting to feast on this universe.” Said the voice.
“Well then, lets make sure that doesn’t happen.” Said Jonah as he pointed his laser above the Nestene. Blasting it to powered rock, it landed all over the blob. Bubbling, it became so hot that it melted. Turning it into orange, red, and yellow liquid. Jonah could almost feel the Nestene’s pain, putting his hands to his head he could feel a burning in his mind. Everything that he remembered about his past was the effect of the Nestene. His memories were dying with the creature. The pain became so great that he pasted out.          

The FORGOTTEN

Above Jonah, The Protector and Nick were searching of a way to discover the bright green color that shadowed the existence of the now dead Nestene. She starred down the deep hole seeming troubled as she mumbled word’s that seemed familiar to nick but he had never heard them before. The words she seemed to say seemed to be a different language. At the end of her sentence the violet light raised up and replaced by the fading yellow glow of the dying Nestene. At seeing the glow she feared it might be too late for Jonah at that moment, her TARDIS screamed in her head, the screech caused her pain through her now aching head. She ran back through the forest to aid her burning TARDIS.
“What happened?” yelled Nick as he trailed behind her stopping to see her TARDIS.
The TARDIS was changing its appearance. Seeing the many disguises that she had taken throughout the many years she stopped on a blue police box only momentarily, then flipped to a light and stopped perfectly still as if she were dead. Opening the door to get in, she saw the light, the ball. Something was not right, and Nick could still not see it. But the urgency called for a time of action, so she got into the TARDIS and tried to forget about it.

They came into the TARDIS and everything came into perfect order, the TARDIS shut her doors and lead them down the dark abyss that Jonah had fallen into. When the TARDIS has reached the bottom of the pit it created a bright flash of light and opened its doors. Lying just in front of the TARDIS doors -Jonah was still breathing, but barely. The Protector ran into the upper level of the TARDIS and came back with stethoscope and an oxygen tank, listening to Jonah’s hearts. One of his hearts was failing, but the other was beating hard. She gave him some oxygen and hulled him into the TARDIS. There she was to decide what she was going to do.
She only had one choice to save him, shooting him with a sonic blast so that regeneration is painless.
At that moment his heart gave out and he was dead.
Suddenly, both his hearts kicked back in, and she realized the TARDIS was flying above the pit. They were going up, and the further they got from the dead Nestene, the more alive Jonah became, and the less he remembered.
"The TARDIS must have taken us back in time to where the Nestene first opened up a dimensional crack and came to our world. So it will never eat the planet Crinoth, and the shadow proclamation will never meet this Nestene." Said the Protector.
"The TARDIS wanted to save Crinoth, TARDIS is a living thing, with a mind. It made us come here."
Soon, Jonah came through all the way and they were completely off the planet of Eden. Jonah, sitting up, looked at the protector saying. "Know any places that are not life threatening or full of plants?"
The Protector replied offering a hand and a smile. "Nope, but I know a place that has some pretty interesting monuments." The Protector as she went over to the controls and yelled. "Hold on to something!"

Invasion on New Earth

Inside the TARDIS, Jonah and Nick waited as The Protector stood at the controls. Previously landing on a new world, Nick and Jonah sat wondering where they were.
“What is the name of this planet anyway?” Asked Jonah, breaking the silence.
The Protector was quick and
