The Four Doctors
Prolouge
Time: 1889
Location: London
The 6th Doctor was sitting on the edge of his seat. It was Mel's idea to take a holiday so the Doctor decided they should take in an opera. Thoroughly engulfed in the opus he had not noticed his companion was sound asleep. Upon the closing of the curtains the Doctor rose to his feet and began applauding vigorously.
"Encore, Encore!!!" The Doctor yelled as various audience members shot him looks as they were leaving.
Confused by these looks the Doctor looked down at his companion who was still seated and fast asleep.
"Mel!!!" The Doctor yelled awakening her from her slumber.
"What is it Doc?" Mel began stretching.
"You fell asleep and I believe you snored."
"I'm sorry Doctor, I'm just not a fan of the opera like you are."
"Not a fan? Not a fan? Why saying you're not a fan of the opera is like saying you're not a fan of breathing." The Doctor said with an annoyed expression on his face.
"You certainly do have a flair for being melodramatic."
"I'll remember that the next time you want a holiday." The Doctor said sarcasticly.
"So what now?" Mel asked trying to change the subject.
"Well there is another opera tomorrow night."
"Doctor!!!" Mel said in a grating voice.
"Or perhaps we could just return to the Tardis." The Doctor said succumbing to his companion's wishes.
Minutes later the Doctor and Mel were making their way down the streets of London. Suddenly a scream rang out from a nearby alleyway. The Doctor immediately burst out into a run hoping to save a life. He found a girl, who was obviously a prostitute, laying with her back to the ground. Mel was soon behind him.
"Doctor what happened?" Mel asked looking down at the body.
"Murder."

Location: The Planet Lolaria
The 2nd Doctor was banging his fists on the controls of the Tardis in anger.
"Oh dear, this won't do at all!!!" He yelled a little too loudly.
"Doctor what's wrong?" Jamie said waking up from his nap.
"Jamie I'm sorry I woke you, it's just the Tardis is being drawn of course and I can't stop it."
"Where are we headed?"
"From what I can surmise we are approaching the planet Lolaria. Quite a lovely place some would call it a paradise planet."
"A paradise? Well I don't see a problem in spending some time there."
"Well yes I suppose we could use some time off but there is still the matter of who brought us here." The Doctor tried to convince his companion as the Tardis materialized on the planet.
"Oh don't worry Doctor you'll figure it out, you always do."
"True, still I have a very bad feeling about this place." The Doctor said as Jamie pulled the lever responsible for opening the Tardis's doors.
"Now, I'm going to get a taste of paradise." Janie said running out of the Tardis.
"Jamie, wait!!! The Doctor said catching up with him.
They were surrounded by thick trees and could barely see the stars in the sky. The Trees were blackened and without foliage. The Doctor bent down and digged his hand in the dirt. He examined the soil thoroughly.
"This doesn't look like paradise even a wee bit." Jaime exclaimed.
"This is impossible Lolaria use to be a beautiful planet and now the trees are dead and the soil is useless. Come along, Jamie we must find the Lolarians." The Doctor was extremely concerned as they continued through the forest.
Suddenly Jamie could see something in the distant.
"Doctor look!!! A light off yonder." Jamie shouted.
The Doctor looked out through the trees and soon saw numerous figures in the shadows.
"Hey, out there!!!" The young Scotsman yelled.
"Jamie, no, get down." The Doctor whispered pulling him off to the side and pushing him down into a small ditch.
Four Daleks moved through the dense black forest and stopped precisely where the Doctor and Jamie had just been standing moments earlier.
"Heat residue detected. Signs of life confirmed." One of the Daleks said with his eyestalk studying the ground.
"The Warden must be informed." The Second Dalek explained.
"The Daleks, what are they doing here?" Jamie whispered to the Doctor.
The Doctor didn't respond instead he just signaled for Jaime to remain quiet. His companion tried to obey the Doctors wishes but as he tried to shift his weight to get more comfortable he snapped a blacken twig.
"Life signs detected." The Third Dalek stated as all four Daleks looked in the Doctor's direction.
"Jamie, run!!!" The Doctor exclaimed as he sprang to his feet.
Grabbing Jamie they began to run only to trip over a fallen tree limb. Soon all four Daleks surrounded them.
"You are known as The Doctor!!! You will be arrested as will your companion." The Second Dalek said.
"Arrested?"
"Justice will prevail!!!" The Fourth Dalek made himself known.
"Justice? The Daleks don't know the meaning of the word." The Doctor remarked.
"You are incorrect. The Daleks bring peace to Lolaria. The Daleks protect and serve." The First Dalek said.
"The Daleks protect and serve, the Daleks protect and serve!!!" All four Daleks said in unison.
