Chapter 2: A history lesson
The TARDIS materialized and The Doctor opened the door and stepped out, followed by Emily. "Where are we? You said you would take me to an alien planet." Emily complained.
"Oh be quiet! We'll go to an alien planet next! This is 1863 America!" The Doctor explained.
"So? What's so great about 1863 America?" Emily asked.
"I think its mid-civil war. I think so, not sure." The Doctor said.
"Civil war?! We could die!" Emily screamed.
"Do you always complain this much?" The Doctor asked. His response was a glare. Only a bullet smashing into the side of The TARDIS stopped their meaningless argument. They turned to see a large group of American soldiers, all pointing guns at them. The Doctor raised his hands in surrender.
"What-"Emily was cut off by the cocking of guns. She then just put her hands up like The Doctor did, fearing death. They were now officially prisoners of war in 1863 America. Two soldiers took them to jail then left to go fight. "Now do you wish that you would've taken us to an alien planet instead?" Emily asked in a taunting manor.
"I didn't mean to take us here. The TARDIS took us here. That means there must be something going on here." The Doctor said, unlocking the cell door with his sonic. He then sneaked out of the cell, followed by Emily. As they walked, they heard the clanking of metal. It sounded almost like stomping. The Doctor then realized who, or should I say what, they were up against. "Cybermen." He whispered.
"Cyberwhat?" Emily whispered back.
"Cybermen, we have to be very quiet." The Doctor whispered. They then heard "DELETE! DELETE!" from the distance. "Are they going to kill us?!" she whispered, hiding behind him.
"I won't let them kill you and they're DEFINITELY not going to kill me." He whispered. The clanking and the "DELETE" got closer as he finished his sentence. They were running out of time. He then got a plan. As soon as they got close enough, Emily and The Doctor shot at the emotional inhibitors in their chest, sending sparks flying and the Cybermen to the ground. After all of them were defeated, The Doctor and Emily ran to find their way out of the jail. They ran into more Cybermen, planning to shoot them all down. Emily shot each one by herself, leaving The Doctor jealous. "Hey! I wanted to shoot some too!" He yelled. She laughed, running off. He followed after her, still a little upset. She then found the exit and they ran out to The TARDIS, leaving the guns behind. As they stepped into the blue box, they waved goodbye to the war-ridden America before rocketing into the time vortex.
