"Doctor!" I screamed. He spun around and saw all the Cybermen heading towards me.

"The console quick!" he said. "The big red button...ready...NOW!"

I pressed the big red button down and the core of the factory ship stopped completely however the Cybermen continued forwards. "Doctor!"

Next thing I knew the Doctor was beside me.

"Run!" he said as he took off down the first corridor he saw. I ran after him just keeping up as he turned left and right and left again. Suddenly he stopped dead in his tracks. The sound of the Cybermen had lessened, they were a fair way off.

"What are you doing?" I asked

"Thinking...If the Cybermen are here they have to be after more soldiers, but why? What is happening to make them need an army?"

"Does it really matter? We just have to stop them."

"Of course it matters! Something bigger and far worse than cybermen is behind this. My guess is the Darleks. Anyway...come on!"

We headed out of the Cyber Factory Ship and ran across the street ducking behind a broken part of the building.

"So how do we stop the Cybermen?" I asked.

"I thought that would have done it...hmmm...There is something else I can try. We have to head down into the sewers and through the underground tunnels to reach the base of the Cyber Factory Ship. From there we can get to the control hub. Lets go."

"Wait! Do you have a plan?"

"Nope...I make it up as I go! Come on!"

He dashed down the street and using his sonic screwdriver he opened a man hole to the sewers. I followed him down. The stench down here was worse than I imagined. We climbed down the ladder and finally made it to the bottom only to land in a slow flowing stream of sewerage.

"Now where?" I asked.

"This way. Follow me!" he said

As we continued through the sewers the smell got less, we had to be getting close now. Sure enough the Doctor stopped and headed towards a ladder.

"You wait here. I am going to check if the coast is clear." he said to me climbing upwards.

I waited at the bottom for a little while but couldn't help myself, I started to follow.

"I told you to wait down there!" the Doctor said when he noticed me climbing behind him.

"I am sorry I couldn't, I was too nervous being down there without you. What if something had happened?" I replied.

"I will never let anything happen to you." The Doctor said, "It's Clear, lets go."

When we emerged we were in a large circular room. In the centre sat a single control hub. We started towards it. Suddenly a siren started wailing above us.

"Damn it! Security system!" The Doctor said as he started to run. "Help me turn this dial". We turned as hard and fast as we could and finally the wailing siren stopped but not in time. 'Stomp Stomp Stomp'...looking up we could see cybermen entering the room all around us.

"Doctor...what are we going to do"

The Doctor had started using his sonic screwdriver on the centre console. "Just a little longer"

"What are you doing?" I asked in a hurry, the cybermen were slowly closing in on us.

"I am planting a virus in the control hub that will spread throughout the main computer system and then on to the cybermen. It will completely shut them down."

"But won't that kill them?" I asked.

"...yes...but it is the only way. Their emotions will return and it will be very painful for them. I am sorry...so sorry" he replied. "Ok last bit. Here goes"

There was a loud bang and a few sparks flew from the central console.

"Run!" he said grabbing my hand. We ran from the Cyber factory. Just as we got outside the Factory Ship blew up. Cybermen everywhere we falling down and dying. One screamed out in pain "Help" it said before finally shutting off. The people who were on their way to being turned snapped out of their hypnosis. There was a lot of confusion.

"Come on." The Doctor said, "It is time we got out of here." We walked away, heading for the TARDIS.
