Right, this is a preview of the upcoming story, the sequel to 'Wedding Day Hell'. Although there is a story between them, as I have this first chapter ready (And none of 'A Day in Cardiff', the story between, done), I'm posting this as a warm-up for the new series of the show starting next Monday. And just to remind everyone, this and the sequel series are AU from the end of Series 3. So, while we do get a change on Bannerman Road on Series 4, nothing's changing in this (Well, apart from the stuff I mentioned in Chapter 6 of 'Luke's Summer Adventures'). So, enjoy the preview. And the full story of Luicus Winters revealed!
Chapter 1 Happy Birthday Luke
The Bubble Shock Factory, Two Years Early
As they got out of the factory, there was a huge explosion that sent them staggering. They turned. Behind them most of the factory had exploded in a sheet of flam. Smoke filled the air and flaming debris rained down.
Stunned and delighted, they stared at the smoking ruins. They looked at each other and began laughing in laughing in almost hysterical relief.
"We stopped them," Maria said.
Sarah looked at the boy, who was standing up by himself, smiling. "Are you all right?"
"Their control has gone", he said. "I'm free, and that's – good!"
"Oh yes," Sarah said. "That's good!" She hugged him. "I'd be dead without you. We all would. You're amazing!" Sarah went on, pulling Maria into the embrace. "The pair of you – amazing!"
"This is happiness, yes?" the boy asked.
"Oh, yes," Said Sarah. "We did it!"
"We did it!" Maria said.
"We did it!" the boy echoed.
Linked in a group hug, they spun round and round, laughing like idiots in happiness and relief.
Underneath the Factory
The destruction of the Bane and the factory weren't the only things the explosion did. Down below the building, in a secret catacomb of laboratories, was a back-up. A second Archetype! The same as the one who was now free from the Bane's control and about to become Luke Smith, the adopted son of Sarah Jane Smith. There was one fundamental difference between the two. Where the main archetype was kind and caring, the second one was pure evil! Bred by Mrs Wormwood as the back-up plan in case the original was a failure. Now the Bane were destroyed, and the evil Archetype was trapped underground, awake, confused and feeling angry. Who was he? What was his purpose?
Just them, one of the air vent grates wobbled and fell forward. Out of it climbed an elderly woman who looked to have just escaped prison. She scrambled to her feet and gazed around the room, her eyes settling on the boy. "So, could you tell me where I am?" She asked.
"So, could you tell me where I am?" The boy replied. He said exactly the same words.
"Um, are you taking the mickey?"
"Um, are you taking the mickey?"
The women smiled. "A genetically created boy. Looks fourteen. But actually only activated" She grinned. "You are coming with me!"
13 Bannerman Road, Two Years Later
"Happy Birthday to you..." 13 Bannerman Road was alive with the sound of sixteen year olds sing the birthday song to Luke Smith who was celebrating his sixteenth birthday. Well, to everyone but the few in the know, it was his sixteenth birthday. But in fact he was only celebrating his second birthday.
"Hi Hi Pi hooray! Hi Hi Pi hooray!" The guests cheered as Luke blew the candles out on the birthday cake that Clyde had baked, though he was saying that it was his mum had had done it.
The teens were out in the garden, most of them in the one corner. iHIHIhiFrom her perch at the kitchen window, Sarah Jane could guess that somebody had brought some alcohol to the party, even though she had told him not to or he would been on the beach when it came to their double life.
She turned the gaze from the group in the corner to where her son was stood talking with his girlfriend and best friends. She smiled at the sight. Two years had changed Luke. He was more confident, more comfortable with who he was and more assured of his place in the world. Sarah sighed, remembering the time two years early that she had first laid eyes on Luke sat in the ladies toilet in the white hospital-like gown. She smiled at that memory. Though she smiled at that memory everytime she when to put his clothes away (Another thing that had changed, in the early days Luke was clean and tidy and put his clothes away, now his room was almost always a mess and he never put his clothes away) as the robe was still hanging at the back of the wardrobe. Though she was glad he had friends. She knew what it was like to be sixteen and not have a friend in the world. And she was glad that he had found somebody to love in Maria. Though she had, truth be told, known that they would get together that very day that they found Luke. But for now, she was content to just stand by and watch her son have the best day of his life, unknowing of the events that were about to come.
Unbeknown to both Sarah Jane and Luke, they were being watched. Stood outside, in the shadows of the trees that lined Bannerman Road, was a figure the same build and same height as Luke. In fact, he was the spitting image of Luke. Except he wasn't. His name was Lucius Winters. And he was ready for his task ahead. Ready to destroy Luke Smith. His Twin Brother!
Well, everyone guessed it through 'Wedding Day Hell' and revealed it at the end of said story. This is the back story. And everything's going to kick off.
Chapter 2 will be here ASAP, while 'A Day in Cardiff' should be here as so as I get some inpiration.
Please review and tell me what you think.
Thanks. Kuyoyo
