CH.1.

In the city of Paradign,A.K.A. The city of Amnesia,it was another cold grey day as usual for it's citizens as they all scurried about.

One Roger Smith,the negotiator sped along the highways in his sleek limosuine car,heading out to the local bar for anything that Big Ear had to offer on a crime or event that would require his expertise in negotiating.

Suddenly,he saw someone walking out in front of him in the middle of the street.

"What th--?"replied Roger as he slammed on the brakes.

He got out and saw someone walking about across the street in a daze.

"Hey you!"he called. "You mind where you're going?"

The individual,a man dressed in grey coveralls and a cap paid no attention to him and kept on walking slowly.

Roger then ran out in front of the man and got a closer look at him.

The man's eyes were a complete blank stare.

"Hey,are you all right?"asked Roger.

The man still said nothing.

But suddenly,before Roger knew it,the man lunged forward at the Negotiatior and attempted to grasp his throat.

Roger then sidestepped the man and landed a karate chop in the back of the man's neck.

The man fell to the floor and was completly out cold.

"Well now."said Roger. "I don't usually pick up people under the influence,but..maybe I could give Sgt.Dastun a rare exception here."

Roger then dragged the man into the back of his car and took off for the local precinct.

But unbeknownst to Roger Smith,some unknown eyes were watching him from the shadows.

"Operative 02 has been apprehended."he spoke in a cold metallic voice.

"Return to base for further instructions."said a voice on his communicator.

"Understood."said the creature as it went back to the base of operations.

While in another part of town in a lone alley,something extrordinary was about to occur.

Winds started to fly from nowhere and picked up the trash in it's current and formed a little mini-tornado.

And in the midst of these winds,a single blue light appeared from out of nowhere.

The blue light then shifted into a rectangular form and took on the shape of a blue box while making a strange engine pitch grinding noise.

"VWOORP!"

"VWORRP!"

"VWOORP!"

The form finally took on it's final shape and revealled to be an english metropolitan police box with the words "POLICE BOX PUBLIC CALL" across it's top and a single flashing bulb atop it as well.

Suddenly,just as all was still again and the police box ceased it's sights and sound,a single door on the right side opened and out stepped a strange and unique invidual.

He wore a long dark green overcoat with brass buttons and thin tubes attached to it and a pair of black trousers.

His hair was sleek black and greying at the sides and his face was a hard yet mysterious visage of a complex person.

He was an alien being known as a Time Lord,but he himself was known as--THE DOCTOR.

"Ah.."he spoke in a typical british fashion.

"A city of some sort..and--so far very run down I see. Must be New York,typical New York at that."

"Can I come out now,Doctor?"said a voice in the darkness of the threshold behind him.

"Hmm..?"said the Doctor.

"Oh yes,you can come out now,Allison,we've arrived."

"Yes,but..where?"said the same voice.

A woman with dark skin,a pretty face and shoulder length dreadlocks emerged as well,she was tall and well buitl and was wearing a light brown trenchcoat on as well.

Her name was Allison Chaney, a simple english pub hostess but now,after her experience with the Shalka on earth,she was now the latest companion of the Doctor.

"Hmmm..."said the Doctor. "Good question. The read-out on the consoles couldn't display the name,time or place of the city so..it may be from some place..out of time..and reality."

"If you say so,Doc."said Allison. "But like you said..it looks a bit run down here.

Are we in America?"

"I--rather doubt it."said the Doctor. "I've been to the aptly titled "Big Apple' before..and this...doesn't feel like anything like the apple.

But..I suppose we'd best take a look around and find out eh?"

"Might as well."said Allison.

But before they left,the Doctor called back into the Police Box.

"You will watch over things while i'm away won't you?"he said.

Inside and at the controls,was a man wearing a dark suit with a black beard.

He was known as the Master and once the Doctor's ruthless nemesis.

Now,he was reluctantly,his aide-de camp to the wonderous machine known as the Tardis.

"Yes,yes."he said. "Of course,I always do,I have no choice now do I?"
"Afraid not."said the Doctor. "Just make sure no one tries to cart you away all right?"
"Certainly,have fun."said the Master.

The Doctor then shut the door and locked it with a special silver key.

"He doesn't enjoy his stay does he?"said Allison

"Yes,and I keep thinking that I should have left him to death when I had the oppurtinity."said the Doctor. "But he also once told me that death was a very overrated experience for him."

"I see."said Allison.
"Well then,let's be off."said the Doctor and the pair then began their hike around the big city at hand.

While back at the local Military Police station.

Roger dragged the still unconscious man into the station and allowed a couple of officers to pick him up from where he lay.

"What's this?"said Sgt.Dastun. "You doing a concerned citizen bit these days?"

"Not really."said Roger. "While driving---I uh--found this hooligan out on front of the street.

I checked to see what was wrong with him..and he tried to attack me."

"Hmmmm.."said Dastun. "Must be under the influence."

"Probably."said Roger. "Just thought i'd take him to you guys.

If you ever find out what's wrong with him,give me a call."

"Will do."said Dastun.

Roger then left the station and drove off to his intended destination.

While back across town,the Doctor and Allison found a local bar,it said the Speakeasy on the sign that hung down in front.

"Hmmm..."said the Doctor. "..fancy a drink real quick?"
"Might as well,anything to get out of this dread cold. And I might feel a bit at home again here."said Allison.

The pair then went inside.

There were several people there,sitting,chatting and drinking to gamble away the time.

Just then,they saw an empty pair of chairs and a table.

They both sat down and waited to be served.

"You both are new here,aren't you?"said a voice beside the Doctor.

"Hmmm...?"said the Doctor as he turned his head.

There was a man seated cross-legged in a chair,reading the newspaper,not looking up.

He was wearing a grey coat,brown pants and a wool cap and glasses and appeared to be a Hisan.

His beard was brown and thick.and he wore a hearing aid in his left ear.

"How can you tell?"said the Doctor.

"A person around here can tell."said the man. "They call me Big Ear,local informant.

"How do you do?"said the time lord."My companion and I are just--passing through."

"Ere,is this place always this cold and dank?"said Allison.

"As far as people here can remember."said Big Ear. "Sign of a sun would be miraclous in my opinion. Anyways,if you want to get to know you're way around here,you may want to check the local travel bureau that sell city maps and the like."

"We'll do that when we get to it."said the Doctor.

"Otherwise,thanks for the tidbit."

"No problem."said Big Ear still looking at his paper.

Allison looked at the man and arched her eyebrow.

"Core,what a strange one."she thought. "Big Ear...?"

Just then,Roger Smith came in.

But as he came upon the seat where his usual seat was,he adressed the pair.

"Excuse me..?"he said. "But that's my usual place."

"What?"said the Doctor. "Oh,excuse us,pardon..!"

"Quite all right."said Roger. "I guess some people around here don't know their way around here."

The Doctor and Allison arose from the seats and went elsewhere.

"Cor,what a handsome bloke."she thought. "A little too much black though."

Roger sat down next to Big Ear as usual.

"Morning Roger."he said. "Here for some latest lowdown on anything?"

"As always."said Roger. "What's new?"

"Well..at first it doesn't seem like much."said Ear. "But--there have been some reports as to some disappearances of both steel workers and various leftover and discarded parts for...Megadeuses that recently attacked this city."

"Really now?"said Roger.

"Yes,unfortunately,the military police haven't found much either. And i'm afraid that's all even i've got to go on right now.

Sorry I couldn't be more help right now. But..I have a hunch that something is amiss around here lately."

Roger placed a 20 on the table.

"Thanks anyways."said Roger.

"A pleasure."said Ear.

But as Roger left the Speakeasy,The Doctor overheard their conversation.

"Hmmm...a mystery indeed."he thought scratching his chin.

"Uhmm..are we gonna get a drink or something now?"said Allison.

"Hmm..oh yes,yes of course."said the Doctor. "But after that,I think a little look into the local scrap yard may be called for."

While back at the police station...

The man in coveralls was laid on his back in a jail cell.

"Hmmm..."said an officer next to Sgt.Dastun.

"There appears to be nothing physically wrong with him."he said.

"He just appeares to be..shut down."

"Well,I guess he'll be all right when he comes to."said Dastun. "He probably won't remember a thing anyways"

But while back at a secret hideout in the midst of the city,someone watched from a secret camera that was secreted on the unconscious man.

"We must not take any chances."said a voice in the darkness. It was also cold and metallic.

"We must self-destruct our operative at once!"

The indiviudal in question pressed a small black key and the man in the cell started to glow a bright yellow.

"WHAT THE HELL?"said Dastun.

"HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S GONNA BLOW!"said the cop with him.

The two men dove for cover,just as the body of the victim exploded in a flash of light.

"POOOM!"

Dastun and the cop looked back into the jail cell and found nothing but a cloud of silvery smoke and dust where the man once lay.

"What the hell just happened here?"said Dastun.

He knew he wouldn't be getting any answers any time soon.

While at that same moment,Roger drove down to the local scrap yard to investigate.

As was the Doctor and Allison.
