Lieutenant Adventures Series 12 Premiere Chapter 1 1 June 2018. Karma.
The Lieutenant paced around his TARDIS pulling levers and pushing some buttons, thinking to himself, 'What can I do next? Hm, I wonder. Maybe blow up a planet? No, happens too much anyway without my interference.' He gasped and froze by the console. 'I know! I shall rule the Earth! Hm, that sounds familiar.' He shrugged. 'Oh well.' The Lieutenant pulled some levers and typed something in as co-ordinates while whistling to himself. "Right, Earth, England. Year, who cares?" he laughed and then pulled another lever.
Suddenly the TARDIS jolted and then began to materialise.

The Lieutenant groaned and fell to the floor. "Wait! What are you doing? I didn't tell you to materialise!" he exclaimed.
The TARDIS finished materialising and then was silent.
The Lieutenant frowned and slowly walked to the door. He opened the door and stuck his head out. "Hello?" he said slowly.
"Hello," replied Flavia bluntly. She stood, in her office, with the Oracle.
The Lieutenant laughed softly. "You brought me here? Again? God, you must be stupid or something must be wrong," he said. He walked out and sat down opposite Flavia, he leaned back in the chair and crossed his legs.
"Get up," said Flavia, almost like a robot.
The Lieutenant rolled his eyes and sighed softly, slowly standing up.
"We are aware you killed the girl," said the Oracle.
The Lieutenant clapped slowly. "Well done! You have been keeping tabs on me!" he exclaimed sarcastically.
"Or tried, at least," smirked the Lady President.
"Don't insult me!" exclaimed the Lieutenant. "I know she's dead. I killed her. I held her down. I drowned her. It was so easy," he said proudly.
Penelope stepped out from behind where the TARDIS had materialised.
"Then who's that?" asked Flavia, nodding in Penelope's direction.
The Lieutenant slowly turned around and gasped. "No! I killed you! How are you here?!" he said, starting to yell.
"That was a poor attempt at murder. You clearly know nothing about the Human Respiratory System," said Flavia.
The Lieutenant looked back at Flavia angrily. "I swear to God, I will kill you. Not today because that idiot is here!" he said, pointing at the Oracle. "Soon."
"She will be re-joining you on the TARDIS," said Flavia, ignoring the Lieutenant's death threats.
"No she will not!" exclaimed the Lieutenant.
Penelope had noticed a knife on the Lady President's desk. She was not going to let the Time Man, or whatever he was, ruin her chances at this again, in a quick movement, she seized the knife and got the Lieutenant in a head-lock and held the knife dangerously close to his neck. "Yes, Lieutenant, I will," she whispered in his ear.
The Lieutenant gasped at seeing her move so quickly. He smirked and groaned softly. "Well, where did this side of you come from?!" he asked, almost gleefully. He then, very easily, got out of the head-lock and tripped her, pushing her onto the floor. "Never threaten me again," he snarled, "Fine. I will take you with me again," he said.
"Ms. Pratt, put the knife down now!" Flavia had exclaimed while the two were struggling.
The Lieutenant looked at Flavia. "Don't worry, I can handle her!" he exclaimed.
"Why the hell have you got a knife in here?" asked the Oracle, clearly shocked.
The Lieutenant laughed. "Probably because she knew she was bringing me here, you idiot," he said.
"I was having scones and jam earlier," said Flavia calmly.
The Lieutenant laughed and then stood up, dusting himself down.
"As for you, Lieutenant, no-one asked your opinion," said Flavia.
"Well, if you don't want my opinion then don't bring me here!" exclaimed the Lieutenant.
Penelope slid the knife along the ground, stood up and dusted herself off also.
The knife stopped under Flavia's boot.
The Lieutenant sighed and watched them. "Can I leave now?" he asked.
"Yes, I suppose, but you're taking the girl with you, are we clear?" asked Flavia.
The Lieutenant rolled his eyes and walked away ignoring Flavia. "Come on, then, Penelope," he said.
The Lieutenant and Penelope entered the TARDIS one after the other.
The TARDIS demtarialised.
Flavia bent down and picked up the knife, shaking her head at the Oracle.
The Lieutenant walked around the console, glancing at Penelope. "So, how did you survive then?" he asked.
"Easy," said Penelope.
The Lieutenant smirked and started typing on the console. "In that case you won't mind telling me," he said.
"You didn't hold me down long enough. You didn't see me dying, you saw me losing consciousness," said Penelope. "And that metal zombie or whatever his name is saved me," she said.
The Lieutenant frowned and leaned over looking past the central column at her. "Metal Zombie?" he asked.
"Oh, you know what I mean, I don't know his name, he's a Time Lord or something."
The Lieutenant nodded slowly. "Alright," he said, slowly not caring anymore. "Right, I'm about to have some fun," he said, walking around the console to her. "Fun I think you'll enjoy, you're more than welcome to come," he said. He walked off from the console room and then came back holding a heavy machine gun.
A smile swept across Penelope's face. "What would you recommend?" she asked.
The Lieutenant laughed as the TARDIS landed. "Whatever you want, something big, something loud!" he exclaimed. He put the gun down then came back with a grenade launcher and walked out of the TARDIS. He launched a grenade and it smashed into a wall, exploding. He walked back into the TARDIS and grabbed the machine gun, walking out with it on his back, launching more grenades into a nearby compound.
Penelope heard the explosion and felt it as it rattled through the TARDIS. She couldn't help but feel excited. She ran down the corridor to her old bedroom. Everything was as she had left it. She grabbed up her knife and slipped it into her boot, grabbed up her pistol, slipped it into the other one, then went to the gun storage room and took a machine gun the same as the Lieutenant's, just to be safe, and brought plenty of ammunition with her, slinging it over her shoulder.
The Lieutenant was walking slowly through the compound launching grenades at the watch towers of the compound. He then dropped the launcher and pulled out his machine gun and stood still turning slowly, unloading hundreds of bullets into the soldiers who started to run towards him, the bullet casings landing at his feet. He stopped for a minute. "Come on, Penelope!" he yelled. "You're missing all the fun!"
Penelope ran out of the TARDIS pulling the door shut after her and ran after the Lieutenant avoiding piles of burning debris all around. She wasn't firing at the soldiers but there was a good reason for that.
The Lieutenant started shooting again when he saw her. He smirked and laughed firing faster into the soldiers, killing them all. He then pulled out the grenade launcher again and shot it at the wall of the building, blowing it up. "In we go!" he exclaimed.
When they got to the compound, Penelope used her machine gun to smash all the windows on the ground floor and first floors, then she stopped shooting.
The Lieutenant stopped and looked at her. "Why have you stopped?" he asked.
"Don't question me," said Penelope. "Walk on."
The Lieutenant rolled his eyes and then walked into the building.
The Iron Demon's TARDIS materialised within the compound walls.
The Lieutenant heard another TARDIS and froze. He turned slowly and walked to a window on the floor he was on and saw the TARDIS. "Oh, Christ," he said.
"Come on, Lieutenant, we don't have time for standing and gazing!" exclaimed Penelope.
The staff of the complex looked frightened and unsure of what to do.
The Lieutenant looked at her angrily. "Alright fine," he said. He looked at the ordinary staff of the complex. "On your knees!" he yelled, holding the machine gun.
The Iron Demon stepped out of his TARDIS which now resembled a white cylinder on the outside. He sniffed the air. He could smell the Lieutenant and the girl. They were here. He could also smell smoke all around and gun smoke. He made a conscious decision that he was not going inside the compound while his life may be in danger so he locked his TARDIS and left it where it was and walked off in the opposite direction to the compound.
All of the staff inside the compound knelt for the Lieutenant except one who strode right up to where the Lieutenant and Penelope stood.
The Lieutenant stared at him and smirked. "Brave, bold move. What's your name then?" he asked.
"This is my compound and these are my staff. Where do you stand in telling us what to do?" asked the person, a man, clearly angry.
The Lieutenant laughed softly. "Your compound? Oh, alright, fine," he said. He put his machine gun on the floor and looked at the man "This is my compound now," he said, he grabbed the man's neck and squeezed it hard, "and these are my staff," he said. He then gabbed the man's head and snapped his neck, killing him. He picked up the machine gun then looked at Penelope. He looked back at the staff. "If you people want to live, shut off the alarms, dispose of all the bodies and start rebuilding the walls and windows," he commanded.
For a moment, nobody moved.
The Lieutenant sighed. "So, none of you want to do it, then. Alright," he said. He looked at Penelope. "You like killing people," he said. "Have fun!" he exclaimed, moving to the side.
Someone stood up, shaking. "No! W-we'll we'll do it," she said.
At this the staff made no joke about it and every one of them got up and started working at once.
The Lieutenant walked around the compound and found the boss' office. He smirked and shrugged. "This'll do for now," he said. He went in and sat down, making a link with the Heart's TARDIS from the computer on the desk. "Hello, Heart," he said.
The Heart remained quiet for a minute while she looked alarmed and tried to shut off the connection. She knew exactly who this voice belonged to.
The Lieutenant thought for a second. Then he appeared on her console screen. "Boo!" he exclaimed, laughing softly and waving his arms slightly. "Hello! It's me! Your favourite Time Lord!"
"How did you survive?" asked the Heart, desperately trying to dematerialise her TARDIS.
The Lieutenant frowned. "Really?" he asked. "That's the first question you have to ask me? A trivial question such as, "How did you survive?" I expected more from you," he said.
"Remember that life of good you had? All those people you used to help? Yeah, that's my life now so if you're finished blabbing, I'll be off," said the Heart, starting to get a bit fed up.
The Lieutenant sighed and shook his head. "Yes. I know what I used to be. I know what you used to be. Interesting that we switched." He thought for a second and her TARDIS groaned. Her TARDIS then came to life and piloted itself.
"Woah, woah, woah, wait, what...? What are you doing?" asked the Heart, starting to panic.
The Lieutenant laughed. "Don't worry, I'm bring you to me," he said. Her TARDIS stopped having now landed in his office in the compound.
The Heart was nervous about what she would find outside. She could run into the depths of her TARDIS and spend weeks, months, years, even centuries running from the Lieutenant within her TARDIS but there was still no way out. If she ran to a secondary control room, even, and out of that door, the Lieutenant could still come out of the main control room and find her. It was no use. She made her way to the door and out of the TARDIS.
The Lieutenant smirked. "Hello, Heart," he said. "Take a seat." He watched her sit down then walked into her TARDIS, he went to the console and pulled one of the panels off, the dug his hand in then detached a piece and put the console back. He came out holding the dematerialisation circuit and put it on the desk.
The Heart's TARDIS Cloister Bell chimed.
The Lieutenant smirked hearing the bell and leaned back in his chair. He looked at the Heart and smiled. "We are going to have a lot of fun here," he laughed and put the circuit in a draw in the desk, "and you will be here the entire time."
The Iron Demon stood in a telephone box not too far away, talking urgently on the phone. It looked almost as if he was barking orders down the phone. Then he hung up and left the box in a hurry and started walking urgently and purposefully back to the compound.
Penelope had been sitting at a Deputy's table in the Lieutenant's office but hearing all this going on outside, she grabbed up her machine gun, stood up and looked at the Lieutenant waiting for further orders.
Just then the Lieutenant's TARDIS Cloister Bell chimed and, still being outside the walls of the compound, performed an emergency take off, dematerialising. It then rematerialised in the sky above the compound and was making sound as if it was out of control but she knew what she was doing. She was just concentrating hard. When she had finished materialising, she flew off after the helicopters, ploughing through the lot of them, flying high into the sky after them again, causing them all to crash down nearby, injuring and killing the occupants inside and two-thirds of the Emergency Services who were on the ground. Some, however, did survive. She then performed another emergency take off.
The Lieutenant heard everything that was going on. He sighed softly. "They couldn't go easy could they?" he asked. He got up and walked over to Penelope. "Let's have some..." He heard the commotion outside and looked out of the window seeing the TARDIS flying around and smashing into the helicopters. He laughed and walked past Penelope, grabbing his gun. "Things just got a lot easier," he said. He walked into the courtyard and looked at the survivors "Now, you have two choices. Surrender and live, or fight and die! I know which one I would take in that position and I know which one I want you to take." He smirked watching them.
The TARDIS performed an emergency landing in the corner of the Lieutenant's office.
The survivors opened fire.
The Lieutenant frowned and quickly ducked behind some cover, pulling Penelope with him. "Death it is then," he said. He got up and opened fire with his machine gun, the bullets ripping through the metal of the vehicles and the flesh of the people.
Penelope also got up and joined him, to make sure.
The Lieutenant smirked and laughed seeing her shooting too.
The pair of them stopped for a moment. There was absolutely no movement so they returned to the compound.
The Lieutenant walked back to his office with Penelope, throwing his gun on the floor. He sat down and typed some things into the computer and waited a few seconds. "Humans of Earth! Hello!" he exclaimed. He laughed slightly. "Don't even try to change the channel because I'm broadcasting on every channel across the world! I just wanted to say, I have taken over your world! To all leaders from every country you now all take orders from me! Anyone who tries to fight back or refuses to follow my commands will meet the same fate as the people who fought me today! The few who survived can spread the word about what happened. I am the Lieutenant! And I am the Ruler of Earth!" He pressed a button on the keyboard and the broadcast cut sending every TV or screen on the planet into static.
Later on, Penelope sat in her bedroom on board the Lieutenant's TARDIS, her laptop on her lap. The Lieutenant didn't know she was in there. She had hacked the Gallifreyan database and was reading up on files about the Lieutenant. He was 4,420 years old. This was his 15th body. He had been female before! How did all this work then? Regeneration? What's that? A process which enables a Time Lord to renew their body, changing their appearance for a number of reasons and one of the things that could happen was that the Time Lord could change gender. That was it, then, the Lieutenant had started off female and was now male! She needed to find out more about how Regeneration worked.
NEXT TIME:
Penelope sat at her desk, tapping away at her laptop, a smile constantly on her face.
The Lieutenant was sitting at his desk typing at his laptop. He opened the email but sighed before reading it.
OK, cool, it was good to know that.
