Doctor Who: Return of Dalek Sec
Sequel to Captain America: The Night Wars. The Doctor and Nightshade are given a mission by the Dalek Emperor to stop Dalek X with the help of Dalek Sec.
Chapter 1: The TARDIS
The Doctor fiddled with the controls of the TARDIS. He was still mourning the loss of both Clara and River. He thought that years of having the same thing being repeated would become easier with time but his two hearts still ached with pain. Looking at the controls one last time he thought of what he was going to do next. There were always planets to safe. There were always evil monsters to fight. He could always find where Missy had disappeared to or he could stop the Daleks from taking over the universe again. There was always going back to UNIT to see if they needed his help but they had Nightshade with them for now. He could always meet up with Captain Jack Harkness and see how Torchwood was after Miracle Day as it was dubbed. He didn't care what it was he just needed to find something to do to take his mind off things.
The lights dimmed and the TARDIS shock violently. The Time Lord struggled to regain his balance as the TARDIS was lifted off the ground. Running to the controls he flicked switches and pushed buttons in hopes of kicking the TARDIS back to life but nothing happened. The TARDIS was shut down and he couldn't do anything to break free of the thing technology that was advanced enough to keep the TARDIS at bay. Running from one side of the controls to the other he tried to break free of the hold. "What's wrong?" he shouted at the controls hoping that would be enough to get his ship to come back to life. The TARDIS moaned and groaned as the alien technology lifted her off the ground and away from where he had landed in the outskirts of London.
Rubbing his hand through his grey hair he thought of what else could cause a problem like this. This had happened before when UNIT had taken the TATDIS to the middle of London. The Daleks when they moved Earth to the other side of the universe had done frozen the TARDIS as they transported it to the Crucible. He hoped that it was not Kate again. She had developed a bad habit of picking the TARDIS up whenever he was still inside and dropping him in the middle of a problem that UNIT had stumbled upon.
The TARDIS suddenly trembled about again as it was placed gently on the ground. The Doctor from the force of the landing landed on his bum. A second later he heard metal clanking against metal from outside as something landed. Slowly getting back to his feet the Doctor regained his balance as he heard something approaching from outside. The door was swung open with its distinctive creak. The Doctor watched as a familiar figure walked into the control room of the TARDIS. "Nightshade!" the Doctor said when Nightshade stopped just before him. "Why can't you just phone ahead like a normal person!" he shouted as he stepped up towards the controls of the TARDIS. Everything was back to normal.
"Sorry, Doctor but this was the only way I could get your attention!" she replied taking another step into the TARDIS. "After all you never answer your phone!"
The Doctor folded his arms as he regarded Nightshade. She had not changed since the last time he had seen her which was when the Daleks had moved Earth to the Medusa Cascade. "I see that you are still wearing that hat?" he asked pointing at the Victorian styled pirate hat that sat at an angle on her head that covered the left side of her face. He saw her offended look at his comment but he carried on talking, "What are you doing here, Nightshade?" he asked her keeping his armed folded. The only time that he ever saw Nightshade was when something bad was going to happen. She was like a bad magnet just like him when it came to adventures.
Nightshade looked anywhere but at the Doctor as she tried to think of what she could tell him. "What can I say?" she asked rubbing her jaw with her hand, "A god from Ancient Egypt has returned and Leatherback has escaped from a UN base in New York! That's the sort version!" she finally said leaving out the details of the fight they had with Seth along with his powers. She didn't want to tell the Doctor that she got beaten by a creature that didn't have all of its powers it would damage her pride to much.
The Doctor didn't look to impressed with her. "No!" he said glaring at her. He was keeping a good distance away from her. He may have seen her as a friend but she was dangerous.
"Excuse me?" she asked. She was glaring at him now. Her unusual eyes were slowly beginning to glow. "Doctor if I told you everything that has happened we will be here for a year! That is the basics of the entire thing. The rest is classified information, Doctor that not even I can part! All I can tell you is that Edward and Julian are tracking Leatherback done as we speak with Captain America helping them!" she continued to explain to the Doctor. Her eyes slowly dimmed down back to being human rather than changing into her strange eyes that had no pupils.
The Doctor was still not impressed as he watched her. Nightshade was holding back information and he knew it. He just needed to find a way to get the information out of her, and that was easy said than done. Nightshade was known for keeping information under lock and key, very much like him and Jack Harkness. "What are you not telling me?" he asked hoping that the direct route would make her spill the information that she was keeping.
Nightshade shock her head as a response. A smile crept onto her face as she took in what the Doctor said. "You know this regeneration is a lot angrier than any of your past regenerations well except Captain Grumpy as you yourself put it!" she said looking at the floor and her new converse that she had just bought as her old boots were starting to fall apart after years of being warn long hours of the day. "And nice try but I am still not saying anything!" she said focusing on her sword on her belt.
"Damn!" he said under his breath as he took a step back. "It was worth a shot!" he said from where he was standing beside the controls of the TARDIS. "You normally don't talk to me after the Moment during the Time War! So, what is it?" he asked her as he put his hands in his pockets. He smiled when he saw Nightshade's stance relax. He was getting somewhere with her. "So, what's on your mind that you had to shut down the TARDIS and transport her somewhere else?" he asked keeping his hands in his pocket.
Nightshade looked back up at him from studying her converse. "I am not sure yet, but I have a strange feeling that Seth's return is only the beginning! And I was hoping that you might have seen something or heard something!" she replied to him as she knew that it was the only way to get the angry Time Lord to help her.
"What sort of things, Nightshade? You really are not helping me here!" he shouted at the shape shifter who had fought alongside him during the Time War.
"I am not sure! That is why I am asking you? I mean you are all over the place in time and space while I am just here on Earth. The only time I have travelled to another world was for some beat that I lost to Edward who said that I had to have some time off! But I only got in the middle of some Dalek Hunt!" she said remembering that adventure that nearly cost the Moonray.
The Doctor kept his hands in his trouser pocket as he regarded Nightshade who stood across from him. "What are you hoping to hear, Nightshade?" he asked her. Nightshade shrugged her shoulders. "I have heard that the Daleks have been acting strange for a while! I don't know what but the Dalek Emperor is planning something since Dalek X has gone rouge!" the Doctor replied to Nightshade.
"Dalek X? You mean the Dalek Devil? I thought he was destroyed during the second year of the Time War?" she asked him as she finally looked back at him. The Doctor nodded his head making Nightshade snarl in response. Her teeth sharpened as well as her fingers that became sharp claws. The Doctor took a step back. He had seen Nightshade change form before but never this slowly before. "What is Dalek X after? I mean he has his own private fleet and he is even feared by the Dalek Emperor! And trust me Doctor the Dalek Emperor doesn't scar easy!" she said as her teeth slowly returned to their human state and her claws returned to being fingers. She saw the strange look the Doctor was given her and said, "I'm calm! I just was not expecting to hear that name again for some time is all!"
Nodding his head in understanding he continued, "Whatever Dalek X is after it cannot be good if the Dalek Emperor has plucked Dalek Sec from the Asylum before it was blown up the Dalek Parliament!" he said looking at the TARDIS controls. He heard a hissing come from Nightshade. "Nightshade please calm down! Your making me think that all Undead creatures are just a bunch of monster from Hollywood films!" he shouted at her which caused Nightshade to look at him confused.
"I am not hissing, Doctor!" she said as she reached for the handle of her sword. "That sounded like-" she stopped herself as the entry TARDIS shock and trembled. The dim lights got dimmer as the TARDIS left the ground of the field that Nightshade had dropped him off when she took control of the TARDIS from inside the Moonray. The Doctor grabbed the controls to stop him from falling again. Nightshade's hand held the door frame with her claws digging deep into the frame.
The shaking stopped and the two occupants of the TARDIS let go of holding on. Nightshade had to tug her claws out of the frame as they slowly returned to being human fingers.
"That is never good!" The Doctor said as he straightened his back.
"DOCTOR! SURRENDER YOURSELF TO THE MIGHT OF THE DALEK EMPIRE!" boomed a Dalek from outside the TARDIS.
Nightshade glared at the Doctor. "You had to say that, didn't you?" she snarled at him from where she was still standing by the door.
The Doctor shrugged as he approached her. "Well let's see what is outside!" he said as a big smile appeared on his aged face as he walked to open the door only for Nightshade to grab his shoulder and fling him away from the wooden door with inhuman strength. "What's that for?" he shouted from where he was on the floor as Nightshade towered above him.
Growling at the Time Lord Nightshade couldn't help but feel her anger building up. "You know damn well, Doctor!" she snarled at him flexing her fingers that were once again turning into claws as she could no longer control her rage. "On the other side of those doors in an entire Dalek Fleet that have one thing in their mind!" she snarled as she tried to calm herself down. "Exterminating you!"
"DOCTOR LEAVE THE TARDIS NOW AND YOU WILL NOT BE EXTERMINATED!" boomed the Dalek from outside in the Dalek's saucer.
Nightshade shock her head as the Doctor got back to his feet. "Come on Nightshade! It's an adventure!" he said as he walked past her to the door. Rolling her eyes, she followed the Time Lord towards the door as he opened it. The two stepped out into the Dalek saucer to see that they were heavily outnumbered by a great number of Daleks that all had their weapons trained on them.
The found themselves in a massive round room within the Dalek's flagship. The room was bronze like everything else in the flagship. Within the round room was over a thousand Daleks who were watching the Doctor and Nightshade's every move. The room that was being used as the Dalek Emperors throne room was big enough that it had enough room for the Moonray to be in with without space being affected. Approaching the two were the human slaves of the Daleks. A blue light glowed from their foreheads and they wore armour that was like the Dalek's casing. In front of them was a White Dalek. The White Dalek was in front of all too familiar Dalek.
"BOW TO THE DALEK EMPEOR, DOCTOR!" the white Dalek Boomed from where it hovered beside the massive pyramid shaped figure that was the Dalek Emperor. The other Daleks in the ship began to chant, "ALL HAIL THE DALEK EMPEOR!" repeatedly.
The Doctor stared at the massive Dalek Emperor. "An adventure you say?" he heard Nightshade hiss from behind him, "I can't wait to see where this leads too! Maybe the brig of this ship?" she hissed as she came to his side. She had let go of her sword knowing that it was no point having it in her hand.
The Doctor smiled, "I bet it's a lot better than filling in paperwork for UNIT!" he laughed as two Daleks glided silently towards them.
"If we make it out of this Doctor I am going to kill you!" she snarled through bared teeth as the human servants removed her weapons and the belt that kept them close to her. Another human slave went to the Doctor and removed his sonic screwdriver from his jacket pocket and walked to the other side of the grand hall that they were in. The floor under both the TARDIS and the Moonray lowered as the two ships disappeared. "Yeah, we are so dead!" she snapped folding her arms across her chest as she glared at the Doctor.
"Come on Nightshade this is what we are used to!" the Doctor laughed as the Dalek Emperor focused on him. "So why have you called me and my companion here?" he asked the menacing figure that was the Dalek Emperor. He smiled when he heard Nightshade mutter something in a quiet voice that he could not truly hear.
"WE NEED YOUR HELP, DOCTOR!" the Dalek Emperor boomed causing the Doctor and Nightshade to exchange looks before looking back at the Dalek Emperor. "BRING HIM IN!" the Emperor boomed causing every Dalek to turn their attentions away from the Doctor and Nightshade as a Dalek in black casing hovered towards them with two Daleks on either side of him.
