Chapter 1: Chapter 1
One day the doctor was traveling in his Tardis when his phone rang. "Now who could that be?" he wondered as he answered it. "Hello is this doctor?" "Yes" he said. "Good we need your help. Follow these coordinates".
The other voice said before hanging up. The doctor thought for a moment before using the tardis to scan the phone call. "Hmm... this doesn't make any sense." /TIME: 2014/ LOCATION: MARS/ CALLER: U.N.I.T/ "Oh well." Sighed the doctor "there's only one way to find out what's going on." Soon the tardis reappeared in some ancient tunnels. "Fantastic" the doctor said looking around.
"Early ice warrior writing by the looks of it" he mused to himself taking a closer look at it. Suddenly he heard the sound of running feat and looked at a group of five U.N.I.T troopers lead by a white haired female. "L.t Samantha brooks at your service sir" she said and the doctor recognized her voice as the one on the phone. "Two questions. How did you call me and what are you doing on mars?" asked the doctor. "I called you using an old u.n.i.t super phone". "Drat I forgot to take those away." Interjected the doctor. "And were on mars because u.n.i.t was testing a teleport system. We were supposed to end up in Chicago." "Pretty bad aim" said the doctor going back to his study of the writing. "Now I have to take you home."
"We have more pressing matters." Said Sam. "The Martians know were here and there planning to attack earth with a rocket loaded with something called the flood. They already killed three of my men. We think we lost them but..." just then a sonic beam flew down the hallway killing one of the solders. "Ssstop humansss." Said the ice warrior leading the attacking patrol. "Come on you lot this way." Shouted the doctor as he took of with the trooper's following. "Are we going to the tardis?" asked Sam.
"No" the doctor replied "we have to stop them." The doctor lead the group threw the tunnels till they reached a large observation room with a controls panel in the middle of the room. The doctor turned around to look the door but found the solders fighting the ice warriors. "Weal hold them of" yelled Sam. "You stop the rocket." The doctor nodded and got to work crossing wires, energizing conducts and frying circuits until... "Got it" he shouted. "Good" said Sam.
"Because I think it is time we be leaving." Sam (who was the last solder left) and the doctor took of again down the tunnels with the ice warriors in pursuit. "One good thing about Martians" said Sam "there easy to outrun. The doctor wasn't paying attention "almost there..." he muttered when suddenly a explosion rocked the base. "Ah that would be the rocket. We should really leave soon." "Why?" asked Sam. "Is the base being destroyed?" "No" he answered "but the flood has been released and will soon infect the entire base so... a-ha!" he yelled as the two reached the tardis.
"Wow" exclaimed Sam "it really does look like a police box." "Yes wheal ladies first" replied the doctor as the two went into the tardis. As the doctor messed with the controls Sam looked around. "Any questions?" "Yeah" she answered " were is your companion?" the doctor stopped "I haven't had a companion for a long time. Not since... well in a very long time." "Oh" as the doctor finished fiddling with the control's the two stood in silence.
As the tardis disappeared from the ice warriors base a man clad in a brown trench coat and matching fedora stepped out of the shadows to watch. He smiled slightly to himself before turning down a corridor and vanishing in a flash of light.
