Doctor Who

Atlantic Sea Devils

Part 3

"I'll be in contact in five, four, three, two, one!" The Doctor looked closely at Speed seeing that he was a human. Then the Doctor stared at the plane it self. His eyes widened. The plane was obviously very advanced in the technological side of life. Speed took this as a window of opportunity and fired. The missile headed straight towards the Doctor. It exploded destroying the craft.

The Doctor was no where to been seen on the Sentinel. Peri started to cry, and then she stopped as some one said something.

"Look!" Peri thought The Doctor had been sighted, but it was not. Speed was now moving his craft towards the Sentinel. He fired, the hanger exploded into a fireball. He fired again, blowing apart a gun turret

"Fire back" shouted the Captain. Clayton stood beside him.

"Sir that plane will tear us apart like tissue if we fight back." Clayton could see that the Captain really wanted to destroy the plane, but he wasn't thinking about it logically. The Captain clenched his teeth, and then spoke into a microphone. "Abandon ship, repeat abandon ship." A siren went off and everyone headed to the TX 204 craft. The craft was basically an escape craft. On deck another explosion happened. Men went flying into the air. Speed fired again. This time the missile hit a few metres away from the control room of the Sentinel. The Captain, Clayton and Scanners could feel the heat. The Captain was the last person expected to leave in a situation like this. By now Peri had already got aboard the craft and was ready to take off, like so many other people. Inside the gun turrets were the men who operated them. They where all expected to leave second to last. They fired away at Speed, but never once hit him. Speed dived his plane down and shot one of the turrets. Abolishing it in seconds.

Back in the control room Scanners had picked up something on the radar. "Sir there seems to be people right below us in the water." The Captain and Clayton looked at each other, while Scanners looked up.

"Those must be the Sea Devils" said the Captain to Clayton. The Captain went over to Scanners and looked down at the radar. He observed it carefully. "How close do you think they are Scanners?"

"Very close, Sir."

"How close?"

"They are right in front of us." The Captain looked up to see all twelve Sea Devils by the door. The Captain and Scanners ducked for cover as Clayton fired twice at the Sea Devils. Unsuccessfully not hurting them, the Sea Devils fired back killing Clayton instantly. The Captain and Scanners fired back, sparks were littering off the Sea Devils. The Devils just stood there simply looking at the two pathetic humans. They then fired, hitting the Captain several times. His face scrunched up in agony and then he fell to the ground deceased. Scanners was the last one left out of the three of them. The thought of that had completely destroyed Scanners moral. He was then hit, and he fell to the ground.

On board the TX 204 plane, all of the surviving crewmembers including Peri were all aboard. Peri still couldn't believe that the Doctor was dead. The Pilot of the plane waited by the door, seeing if the Captain, First Officer or Scanners were coming. The Co-Pilot waited patiently in the cockpit. He constantly peered out of the cockpit windows to see if Speed was coming towards them. He then noticed the plane in the distances coming towards him. "We've gotta take off now" he said to the pilot. The Pilot could see Speed coming too. He looked franticly one last time. Then quickly shut the door, and joined the Co-pilot in the cockpit.

"I couldn't see them anywhere" said the Pilot. He then gave a sigh. The engines started up on the plane, and slowly it made it's way down the runway. For the plane to take off, it had to head in the same direction where Speed was. Speed fired a missile at the TX 204 the missile barely missed them. By now the TX 204 had taken off, but then it went back down to the ground. Until finally it took off. Speed flew right over them, he got ready to start an aerial attack on them. But then,

"This is Straker calling Speed please respond."

"This is Speed."

"Has the mission gone successful?" asked Straker.

"Yes the mission was a complete success, as we speak the Sentinel ship is sinking."

"You are to return to the submarine."

"Roger" Speed turned his plane around and headed back to the Sea Devil Submarine.

Back on the Sea Devil ship Straker put down the microphone and swivelled his chair to face General Bron. "Speed said the mission went ok General. He's on his way back now."

"Good."

"Sicran" said Ritter. "Your men have arrived back and are requesting to enter the air lock."

"Well let them in" replied Sicran, Ritter turned to open the door. But then,

"Delay that order Ritter" said Bron while looking at Sicran. Slowly Bron took out a pistol from his gun holster and pointed it at Sicran. "You've never been straight with us right from the start. Plus we've never met you men. So bring your men in here or I shoot you." A smile came to Sicran face.

"Of course" he said. He walked over to the button to open the air lock. He pressed it and then headed over to the door. "Come on and say hello to Bron and his boys." All twelve Sea Devils entered. Bron, Carter, Ritter and Straker were stunned. They were speechless "What, what are those things?" asked Bron. The smile on Sicran's face was wiped off into a disgusted look. He then slowly turned to the Sea Devils and said "We have no more use for them. Kill them." All of the twelve Sea Devils aimed at Bron and his men. They all fired, Bron and Ritter fell to the ground. Carter and Straker fell off their chairs. Sicran's smile had returned to his face. But then, he suddenly started gasping for breath. His face was looking distressed as he clenched his teeth firmly. Saltan rushed over to him, "We need to get you a new body now!" Then Speed entered the room, as he had just landed the craft. Saltan pointed at Speed and said, "grab him". Two Sea Devils grabbed speed before he could escape. "Take him and Sicran to the operation room." Speed was terrified.

On board the Sentinel, Scanner was very badly wounded but alive. He sat up gasping for breath. Slowly the ship sank vertically down into the water. Then Scanners heard a faint noise, a beeping sound. He looked at the radar. A small life form was being detected. He pulled himself along the floor to a small cupboard. He opened the small door and took out breathing equipment. Then he dragged himself out side the control room onto the deck. He got to the very edge of the ship and then fell into the water.

On the very depth of the ocean lay the doctor. His eyes were closed and he was not breathing. Scanner soon joined him, he shook the Doctor violently to awaken him. The Doctor's eye opened like bullets being fire out of a gun. Scanner indicated to the Doctor to put the equipment on. He did so, and once it was on Scanner pushed a button and a light flashed on the strap. Then slowly Scanner fell to the ground dead.

Back at the Miami Atlantic Sea Base the survivors of the Sentinel had arrived. Peri was heading towards control room where Colonel Sweeney was not happy. The Sentinel was destroyed and The Doctor and Peri were to blame. He had ordered that Peri be taken to the control room immediately she landed. Captain Johnny and Lieutenant Mead escorted Peri. She entered, Sweeney turned around with

an angry look on his face. He quickly walked over to her, he looked like he was about to shout at the top of his voice when.

"Colonel. I've picked up a signal" said Sergeant Reynold. The Colonel rushed over beside him. A small beep registered on the radar. The Colonel asked, "What do you think it is?"

"I believe it's a person sir" replied Reynold. A smile lit up on the Colonel's face.

"Get a submarine out there immediately Reynold."

"I'll get the USS Panther sir."

On board the Sea Devil ship Sicran was now in the body of Speed and was walking out of the operation room. However, Sicran was having trouble keeping his balance straight. Saltan went to him, "Sicran I have some bad news!"

"What is it?" he asked while looking dazed.

"I am afraid that since Speed was a pilot he developed a lot of radiation in his time. Your brain cannot cope with it."

"No matter we'll just get a new body" replied Sicran taking in deep breaths.

"It's not that simple. Since the cerebellum in our brain is so small the radiation has poisoned it. Removing the brain would mean that the radiation would stay with you. You're finally dying."

Under water the USS Panther was heading in the direction of the signal. On board were three men, Captain Nicolas, Ensign Soames and Seaman Clark. At the guidance counter was Clark. "20 Meters away from the signal Captain."

"Good" the Captain pulled down the periscope and looked into it. He couldn't see very clearly in the murky water. The submarine was very near where the Sentinel had been attacked and destroyed.

"Ten meters."

The Doctor was ready to float to the top when he felt a vibration un the water. Suddenly a submarine was right beside him. An airlock on the outside of the submarine opened. The Doctor entered cautiously, once in the door closed and the water drained out. In front of him was another door it opened to. Ensign Soames and Seman Clark were standing in front of him. Soames picked a up microphone and spoke into it, "Captain it's the Doctor. He's alive!"

"Roger that Soames" replied the Captain. He then switched on a button on his intercom. "Colonel the beacon we picked up was the Doctor, he's alive."

Back at the base the Colonel had heard this and an evil smile came to his face. "Excellent!" Sergeant Reynolds and General Peter looked at each other with a scared look. "Ok Captain head back to base."

The Submarine started up its motors and headed back to the Base. However, back on the Sea Devils Submarine they had picked up the USS Panther on their radar. Saltan turned to the Sea Devil at the controls and said "Full speed ahead we must kill all humans."
