**Adric** was a companion of the Fourth and Fifth Doctors. He has met Romana II, Tegan Jovanka, and Nyssa. In Season 56, Adric was rescued by the Fifteenth Doctor, and was forced to leave the Doctor. Due to the way time works, it would have been impossible for him to let the Fifth Doctor know he was alive. Sadly, Adric was dumped in rural Scotland and had to live hell before getting back to the modern world. In Season 60, after rescuing every doctor and companion from the threat that has kidnapped them, Ashley McEwan and Adric bond, and are fighting together during the battle. Eventually, Adric gives the Seventeenth Doctor his star badge and leaves with Ashley, stealing a TARDIS and flying away into space.

## History

### Fifth Doctor

An Alzarian resident of E-Space, Adric stowed away in the TARDIS after the Fourth Doctor, Romana II and K-9 visited his planet. He joined them on their adventures and into N-Space, where the Doctor regenerated into his fifth incarnation and was joined by Tegan Jovanka and Nyssa. He was supposed to die aboard a freighter after helping to defeat the Cybermen, trying to stop it from crashing into prehistoric Earth, but the Fifteenth Doctor's TARDIS landed inside the freighter, and he was rescued, although the Fifteenth Doctor lamented he could not stay with her for more than an hour, and couldn't say goodbye to his other friends. Adric asks if he was remembered fondly, and the Fifteenth Doctor responds that "well, you're here now, and you had a chance not to be."

### Slavery in Scotland

After saying goodbye to the Doctor, he lands in rural Scotland near the city of Broadford. Wandering around he is kidnapped by Mr. and Mrs. Habbard, and is forced to work as a berry farmer and assistant cook to the house, where he learns there are other slaves, and they are treated like animals, forced to eat little but cabbage water and work their life away, or be drowned in the mud while being dissected.

While there, he would meet another berry farmer, Larry Lapland, and met the head cook, Hugo Dietritch. The three formed a team and worked on getting Adric out of there, but couldn't find a way for a long time. On November 14, 2022, Mr. Habbard suffered a stroke, and Mrs. Habbard took him to the hospital, leaving Adric and the others unnatended. Larry and Hugo searched the cellar and found a small ventilation shaft. Consulting the other servants for help, they moved some large heavy shelves together and formed a ladder to reach the vent. However, it is screwed shut, and Adric starts to give up hope until one servant, Leopold, reveals he has confiscated a screwdriver, and uses it to remove the vent cover, as well as the shackles around everyone's ankles. With that, Adric crawls through the vent, with the others right behind him, and emerges in the Habbard's living room. He makes his way to the kitchen and takes a large knife as a weapon. The other servants, having escaped, stock up on food, raiding the house, and escape through the back door. Mrs. Habbard returns to the house and sees the servants escaping inside. Wielding a mallet, she slams several servants with it to death, stalling with each kill long enough for the others to escape. This kills Hugo.

However, before she can kill anyone else, Adric stabs her in the gut with the knife and causes her to stumble down the stairs, breaking her neck. The servants disperse, and Adric is left with Larry. The two manage to get a ramshackle rowboat from the shed, and use it to row to Stornoway. Upon landing there, Adric encountered a lone Weeping Angel. After watching two people die to it, the two managed to find out how it worked. They lead the Angel to a house. Larry watches it while Adric grabs a handmirror, hangs it from the ceiling, and traps the Angel into staring at itself. The two took their boat up to the Port of Ness Harbour, stumbling down the sharp rocks.

### Canada

Larry and Adric take supplies from the nearby grocery store, and Lynette, the cashier there, looks on at Adric, with the eyes of "I know where you're going". Adric learns Lynette's name, and eventually Lynette and Adric sit outside the shop bonding. Adric asks Lynette if she'll join them on their trip, ut Lynette says due to her abusive father, she cannot, or she will be killed. Adric tries to learn Lynette's father's whereabouts, so that she can be saved but Larry drags him away. They fill the boat as many supplies as they can, and launch it, jumping in. It slides off the rocks, and Lynette watches. After many days asea, Adric arrives in Alert, Canada.

They almost froze to death but were rescued by an unnamed man, who drove them down to Grise Fiord on his four wheeler, and abandoned them. They then launched the boat, but rouge Sontarans then attacked the city, killing civilians. One of their bullets hits Larry, and kills him. Women, children, and men run towards the harbour and get on boats. A young girl, Chloe hops onto Adric's boat, as a Sontaran chases her on. Chloe is dragging a boy who has been shot in the chest with a Sontaran bullet and is bleeding out. Using their supplies, Adric heals him and sets him to rest against the stacks of supplies. Chloe and Adric then talk, and Chloe explains: She was at her grandmother's with her aunt and cousin (the boy) when the Sontarans attacked. Chloe's Aunt sacrificed herself, pushing Chloe and her cousin out onto the roof through the attic, to save them as the Sontarans sent a spear into her below, and her Grandmother was too weak to escape. Chloe and her cousin, Nicholaz, ran as fast as they could into the town, and while hiding, Nicholaz was shot in the chest by a Sontaran. She then dragged him to the boat with Adric.

After a day at sea, the boat landed on Devon Island. However, Chloe told Adric nothing was there. Nicholaz then wakes up and helps row with Adric. It takes a while, but they eventually find a river and rush through. A massive storm has set ahead and rainwater leaks into the boat. The water grows rapid in the wind, and, drenched, Adric watches the supplies tumble overboard. During the rush, a rush of water sweeps Chloe out of the boat, she hangs on by one hand. Nicholaz tries to pull her back in, but the boat suddenly flips due to a wave, Nicholaz slips over his own feet and tumbles out of the boat, losing grip of Chloe. Adric hangs onto the overturned boat for a second longer, watching Nicholaz float downstream, when he suddenly slides off and disappears underwater, hitting his head on a rock and being knocked unconscious.

Adric wakes up in Resolute Bay Hospital, with hot stew being poured into his mouth by a nurse. He spits it out, awakening and being held down. The nurse tells him not to move and that she'll be back quick, and leaves, but Adric doesn't listen, and starts pulling off the cables that tie him to the bed. Adric then hears the TARDIS sounds and limps out into the lobby noticing the TARDIS disappear. He screams in anguish, but dodges a massive explosion which kills a group of patients, doctors and surgeons. Sontarans start storming in with machine guns, laser guns and rocket launchers, shooting anyone alive. Adric, Doctors, surgeons, nurses, paramedics and the hospital staff, as well as the visitors, run. Some patients are only strong enough to walk, other patients limping or crawling. Some of the staff and visitors are injured from the Sontorans, also on the floor. Adric runs into a locker room to escape the hallways of spears being thrown and guns being fired, then, he takes some of the nurse's clothes to wear instead of a bare hospital gown, throwing on slipshoes. He exits the lobby and sees most of the people are dead, some still twitching and crawling.

Dodging the flames and debris, he stumbles outside, seeing Sontaran Officers executing the survivors of the massacre in the street one by one with machine guns, lining them up in a row, other bodies strewn around, flames engulfing the town. Adrics sees Lynette in the lineup, screaming in horror before Nicholaz pulls him down into a bunker and tells him to not take his eyes off something. Nicholaz leaves and shuts the hatch, leaving Adric to look at a Weeping Angel which has a hold of Chloe's neck tightly.

Chloe weakly tells Adric that there's no use of pulling her free and that she's turning into an angel. Adric watches, terrified, backing against the corner of the bunker, watching stone dust start to come out of Chloe's eyes, and then as her neck and shoulders begin to turn to stone. She screams in agonizing pain as her arms stop squirming and turn to stone, and then up her head. Adric is terrified. She cannot even scream anymore as her vocal chords turn to stone, and then Chloe's flailing legs slowly become stiff and heavy. Chloe lets out one last whimper, looking up as her head is fully turned to stone, and then Adric looks down at her feet, still squirming as the stone engulfs them. Stone wings push themselves out of her back, Adric screams in fear and blinks, watching the two angels move over to the him quickly. Chloe's angel points at the light, causing it to begin to flicker out. The angels start moving over to Adric and he moves back against the ladder. Right as he is about to be sent back in time, Nicholaz comes back at the last second and screams in terror at Chloe's transformation. The lights go out and Adric climbs up the ladder. He looks down and sees Nicholaz get grabbed by Chloe and pulled into the darkness, screaming in pain. Adric shuts the hatch, dodges explosions behind him and wades into the freezing water, clambering into a boat and speeding away to Somerset island.

#### Cannibal

After landing at the massive Somerset island, Adric ties his boat to his back and starts hiking down the snowy path and comes across a wanderer, asking him if he needs help. The wanderer, who introduces himself as Chuck (and says that if Adric is 'proper' to just call him Charlie). Adric thanks Chuck for the help and warns him of the Sontarans, but Chuck laughs it off because it's a silly thing to him. Adric says that he understands and they reach Chuck's cabin. Adric dries off and Chuck gives him a bottle of whiskey and they rest by the fire and share stories. Adric then asks if Chuck has any food, to which Chuck says he's been looking for some all day, but he found some just before Adric arrived. He then takes Adric to the basement and shows him that there is a young girl on a meathook, with her stomach sliced open and her guts and organs splayed over a table. The girl whimpers in pain, coughing up blood, and squirming her legs. Adric, mortified and disgusted, attempts to run but is hit in the head with a monkey wrench by Chuck. Before he can rip Adric open, Nicholaz comes in and saves Adric again, shooting Chunk in the gut, causing a blood splatter. Shocked, Adric leaves.

Adric books it down Somerset as fast as he can as he sees Nicholaz and Chuck fighting on the porch of Chuck's house. The chants of Sontarans on the north are heard as Adric runs, watching as landmines explode behind him, creating even more of an archipelago than there already is. Adric slips and falls into a small lake, and splashes out. He continues to run, shivering, and sees as Nicholaz starts catching up around 150 feet behind, with a limping chuck falling back and around 30 feet behind him, and the Sontarans now invading Chuck's house. Adric yells for Nick to run as fast as he can, as Chuck cocks his gun weakly. However, one of the landmines Nick stepped on explodes, Nick getting out of it's path in time, but it launches Chuck into the air and then into the water nearby.

Nick and Adric catch up to eachother and continue to run as fast as they can, Chuck now limping severely and around 300 feet back, going farther. Nick and Adric then splatter through some knee-deep water, and Adric considers getting his boat but they get to the other side of the water quickly. Exhausted, the two get to a small camp of survivors who tell them they've got seven miles left until the bottom. The sun starts to set but Chuck is getting close so they can't stop. They gather the survivors and start walking down, Adric looking back and hoping that the girl Chuck murdered was somehow still alive.

#### Four Walls, One Roof

After a few hours, now in pitch blackness, they finally reach the southern side of the island, Fort Ross. The Sontarans, exhausted, have stopped about two miles back, so the group of twelve decides to stop at Fort Ross. They take shelter in the ramshackle shed and dry off from the wet. However, one old lady, Violet, has been speared through the chest by a Sontaran and can't make it farther. She collapses. Her husband, Owen, reminds her of memories from when they were young, and about her grandchildren, trying to encourage her to stay alive, but she can't, and dies. Adric goes outside and sacrifices his boat to give Violet a burial, burning the boat with Violet's body in it as it sinks.

A funeral speech is made by Owen as the now eleven survivors attend the funeral. They see a snow-covered bleeding traveller in the distance. It's Chuck. Owen says that that is the man that kidnapped his granddaughter, and to kill him immediatley. Adric takes a shotgun from the shed and aims at Chuck, asking him not to move. Chuck bends on his knees unable to go farther. Owen yells at Adric to shoot, but Adric pauses. Chuck then coils his own gun causing Adric to shoot, but Chuck dodges and gets his shoulder hit. Chuck, Adric, Owen, Nicholaz and the eight other survivors all fight, ending with Nicholaz yelling for everyone to get back, and tosses a grenade at Chuck. Chuck grabs Nicholaz' leg, and the explosion wipes out the both of them, Nicholaz' burning body stumbling out and falling to the ground, wounds hissing in the snow. Adric is now sad as his friend is gone and now only ten survivors are left. They scavenge the shed, finding food, water, and weapons. They have a feast inside the shed with the lights on, and Adric is happy to finally talk with people and have real proper food inside a shelter. The group then rests.

Adric is woken up to panicked shouts and sees the Sontaran army in the distance. Owen and some of the others push a boat into the water. Adric asks where they found it, and one explains that there's not time to explain. As the Sontarans close in, Adric jumps into the boat as it speeds off, into the water. They soon realize there's not much food, so the boat needs to go as fast as possible. Owen drinks a can of alcohol, which he shares with Adric. He and some others get stupid drunk and start moving around the boat. They fall asleep and wake up hungover as they land at Kugaaruk Harbour...finally...the mainland.

#### Mainland

Everyone rushes over to the Inukshuk Inns North Hotel, and they all run to the bathroom where they throw up from the alcohol. Some of the survivors get rooms in the hotel, while Adric, Owen, and a nineteen-year-old, Taylor, one of the survivors, walk off together. They then get groceries at the Kugaaruk Co-Op, where they have a good chat about stuff. The cashier, Leyla, asks where Owen and Adric are from as she doesn't recognize either of them. Adric and Owen shrug, and pay for their groceries. Adric asks Taylor why the cashier didn't ask about her, Taylor explaining that the cashier is her girlfriend. They then go to the airport and rapidly buy tickets to the first flight, headed for Quebec City. They then rush out to the airplane as quickly as they can, running out on the platform. The plane starts coasting ahead slowly, but Taylor, athletic, climbs into the plane door rapidly. Adric grabs her leg, pulling himself up (with the loss of her shoe), but the plane starts moving and Owen starts falling behind. Adric runs down to the cargo bay door, opening it. Owen takes a leap of faith and Adric grabs his hands. The plane gains speed and starts to elevate, and Owen is dangling above the runway. Adric tries pulling him up, but Owen says there's no way he'll make it, and lets go. Owen hits the runway and dies on impact, and the plane starts to rise in elevation as Adric slams the entrance door, and finds a seat. He looks out the window as they enter the clouds, watching as they leave. Taylor is sat on the other end of the plane, sweating profusely.

#### Chasing Planes

Adric ends up sitting next to another teenager, Chris. He wears a white hoodie, and over that is a black and white plaid button-up jacket. He wears torn jeans, grey socks and white sneakers, and a backwards black baseball cap, and has blonde hair and blue eyes. Chris looks at his phone, and starts playing Hotel Tycoon, and Adric watches. Chris then tells Adric not to snoop at his phone, and Adric retaliates due to it just being a game. The Flight Attendant serves food, and as they eat, with Chris introducing himself. Chris and Adric chat, and Chris tells Adric that he's trying to get away from a girl. Adric looks confused, but Chris explains that there's a girl who wants him to be a slave to her. Adric is confused, thinking he means like a berry farmer, but continues chatting with Chris, learning about the girl's true intentions. Taylor overhears and says that Leyla is a bit like that, but she begs for it.

Eventually the plane lands in Quebec City, and Adric sees another plane departing for Cape Town, SA. Adric sees that it is going down South, to safety, away from the Sontarans. Before they have even left the plane Adric dives out the boarding window, with Taylor climbing down Chris' leg, Chris following. Adric is far ahead, chasing the plane. Taylor runs down quickly, screaming for Adric to wait. Chris contemplates heading on but finally chases Taylor. Adric grabs onto the door of the cargo bay as the plane starts to lift, pulling it open. He hangs on desperately, with Taylor grabbing his leg, and pulling herself up. Chris screams for them to wait with Taylor reaching her hand out for Chris. He grabs it and dangles as the plane elevates. Chris struggles to hold onto Taylor's hand as it is wet with sweat.

Adric gets into the Cargo Bay noticing there's not much room for the three of them due to the amounts of luggage and cargo inside. As wind blows things around he yells for Taylor and Chris to hurry up. Chris looks back seeing himself nearly three-hundred feet above the ground. He yells "I'M AN ACROPHOBE!" and Taylor tells him to shut up. Struggling to keep grip amidst the wind, Chris starts slipping off Taylor's hands and gets vertigo. Screaming, he rips himself up onto the door (with the loss of HIS shoe) as Taylor nearly tumbles off, but due to her strength she climbs back in. Adric slams the door shut, latching it, as Taylor and Chris lay exhausted. Adric collapses with them, exhausted.

#### Trapped

Adric tries to open the door to the staff area of the plane but it is latched from the other side. The plane JOLTS upwards violently sending him tumbling down the steps. Taylor looks at the ventilation ducts and sees that they are bolted shut and it will take hours to open. Chris is exhausted, and rests against a crate. Adric instructs him to open it, and after Chris does they find an insane amount of fruit, and the three indulge in the meal, with Taylor passing out due to the happiness from finally eating real food. Adric discards his jacket and gives it to Taylor as a blanket, resting her down. Chris then asks if Adric has a chrush on Taylor, to which Adric blushes and can't respond.
