Great, another OctaScratch fic

... magic will succeed

"In the person." Leoni said, before laughing maniacally. The 5 women and 2 men glared at him. Leoni stopped laughing and pointed the gun in his hand at Dregoborovic. "A pity you won't see the world when I'm finished with it." He fired three shots.

Dregoborovic's hand shot up, the bullets reflecting off an invisible shield and hitting two of Leoni's men. "RUN!" he shouted. The group immediately did as they were told while Dregoborovic deflected more bullets. Then, he performed a complex sequence of acrobatics, eventually lifting his hand and slamming it down. The ground in front of him shot up and surged forwards like a wave, destroying everything in it's path.

They all climbed into the SUV as Leoni's men scrambled to their feet. Bullets pinged off the windows and reinforced armour of the car as it sped through the long garage and into daylight.

As they pulled onto the main road, two identical sedans pulled up behind them. More shots were fired as Dregoborovic, who was at the wheel, steered the SUV around a tight bend, throwing all of the passengers to the side of the vehicle and managing to lose one of the pursuing cars. The other sedan was hot on their heels. They sped through Manhatten, avoiding traffic and pedestrians alike. Near Times Square, the unthinkable happened: a large van sped out in front of them and blocked their path. The SUV, being unable to go anywhere else, slammed into it, causing it to stop and to send it's passengers flying forwards. Another van skidded to a halt behind them, making it impossible for them to move.

"Computer, lock the doors, priority 1." Dregoborovic said. Four sedans pulled up outside, all of them loaded with Leoni's men. They pulled out a strange device, which they set up just outside the window. It made several beeping noises before a metal bar pulled back and immediately slammed forwards, cracking the window.

"Window integrity at 67%" the computer said. "Would you like me to activate defence protocols?"

"No, not yet. Put all power into jet function."

Another slam. "Window integrity at 34%"

"Not yet!"

Another. "Window integrity at 1%"

Before there was another slam, he shouted "NOW" and a small minigun popped up between the drivers seat and the passenger seat. He grabbed hold of the handle and fired through the window, slaughtering Leoni's men and destroying the machine. The Doctor, who was in the passenger seat, sighed in relief.

"Thank Celestia we're safe." he said.

"Not just yet." Dregoborovic said, pointing to a lone figure in battle armour. The figure slowly marched towards the SUV. "Computer, how long until jet function is available?"

"17 seconds" The armour got nearer.

"10 seconds." It had almost closed the gap.

"5 seconds." It lifted a heavy, metal fist in the air.

"Jet function available."

Dregoborovic slammed on a large button on the console. The SUV sprang into the air, narrowly avoiding the flying metal fist. The wheels then retracted into the bottom of the vehicle, allowing four jets to power up and propel them away from the area.

"That was way too close!" The Doctor shouted. Th five women in the back were still shocked into silence. "Uhh, I think we broke the women."

There was a moments silence before Lyra spoke. "Wait just a minute. How did you do that thing with the ground back at the complex?"

Dregoborovic turned in his seat. "I can control some aspects of nature and the planet, including weather when I'm at full power, something which people like The Doctor here call chaos magic."

"I still insist it is."

"It isn't. Anyway, I can only use them for small amounts of time, and at large intervals."

Satisfied with the answer, Lyra nodded and leaned back in her seat. "Wait. How are we going to get back to our universe?"


On the outskirts of Manhatten, in the crowded street, a lone figure stood outside the Tardis, laughing to himself before entering.
