Chapter 4

Jenny sat in an empty cell. The Daleks had no need of chairs or furnishings, so Jenny sat on the floor. She looked at the walls and could see the wires and circuits. Her mind raced and decompiled everything she saw. Sadly, the designs were too perfect, and there was no flaw in the holding cell. Even with a sonic device, she wouldn't be able to escape.

There was a soft whirring sound just outside her cell. She looked up and saw a disheveled Dalek standing outside her cell.

"What do you want... trator?"

"I am no traitor… I am a Dalek." Dalek Foreman said. There was a long pause, almost to the point of uncomfortable silence. Foreman moved closer and almost whispered. "I… came to see if you are well. Do you need food?"

"I'm about to have my genetic code ripped from me and be the progeny to a new Dalek race… How well do you think I am?"

"Proud?" Dalek Foreman said. Jenny couldn't believe what she was hearing! "You will bring us out of the darkness. You will free us from these… prisons. You will become our… savior." There was hope in his voice. She quietly looked at the dilapidated form of Foreman. Various dents burn marks he has acquired from his time in space and from her hand. He was a mess.

"Savior? Me? The Doctor's daughter is going to be the savior of the Daleks. Davros is insane, and he's going to get you all killed! Not like I care one bit about what happens to you or your kind. I was trying to be nice, see where it gets me? Locked up and about to be poked, prodded, and then most possibly killed once you're done with me. My father hates you with all the burning fury of all the stars in the sky. Every chance he gets, he tries… oh does he try to give you a chance… and every time you betray him. I guess I'm no better."

"Jenny…" Dalek Foreman said. He never got to finish his thought when more Daleks approached. Dalek Foreman moved aside and allowed the pristine chrome Daleks move in and prod Jenny down the hall.

"Dalek proceed to repair bay for new unit." one of the Daleks said to Foreman. Foreman nodded his eyestalk and proceeded down the hall.

She was strapped to a table in her underwear and saw various needles hover over her face. She was doomed, and she knew it. Maybe she could talk to Darvos, she could convince him this was a bad idea.

Darvos rolled in and leered at her like a piece of meat. His decrepit hand stroked her cheek gently while he grinned, showing rotted and yellow teeth.

"If I were a whole man, you would indeed be a trophy worthy of my throne." Darvos said his fingers trembled as they touched her smooth skin.

"If you were a whole man, I'd rip it off!" Jenny retorted as she spat in his face. Darvos took his finger and traced the saliva on his cheek and rolled his eyes back in ecstasy.

"I can feel the superior genetics with just a touch. Even with this act of defiance, I can feel your power.. We shall be born anew. With my new Daleks and the Nightmare Child under my control… I will destroy all life in the universe and bring forth a new era of Dal Kind!"

"You're crazy!" She screamed. but Davros waved her words away and pressed a button. All she could feel was pain. The needles problem everywhere. They took samples of her marrow, spinal fluid, bile. She can feel the sharp pricks bore into her and fill their bellies with everything that made her work. It felt like an eternity of probing before it stopped and she saw Davro's face hover over her.

"I've always suspected the Time lords can see time… not with their brain, but with their eyes." He said. He leaned forward with an almost spoon shaped device in his hands. "Most Daleks get by with one eye, You'll be fine. We have many many more years of experiments to run my dear." His hand moved closer and closer with the scoop as he used his other hand to pry open Jenny's eyelid. All she could do was scream.

The ship rocked from a massive blast and knocked over one of the Daleks. Davros was able to steady himself, the scoop jerked forward and slashed Jenny across the forehead. She felt warmth trickling down her face and the taste of copper in her mouth. Panic filled Davros's eyes.

"Give me a report!" Darvos screamed to the Dalek standing at the door.

"The Doctor is near, The Doctor is near!" screamed one of the Daleks. "The T.A.R.D.I.S off the port bow. Sensors also indicate the Nightmare Child approaches."

Davros screamed, pushed himself away and wheeled out of the door, leaving Jenny confined to the table. The other Daleks followed Davros as he barked orders to the Daleks.

Another explosion rocked the ship. She would have been thrown into a wall if not for her bindings. She struggled with her restraints, but it was futile. The blood poured out, almost covering her face. She wondered how bad it was. The cut burned, she probably needs stitches, but it was superficial, and nothing major was damaged.

"Jenny…" said a metallic voice at the door. She looked over and saw Dalek Foreman standing just outside the threshold. He was in a new Dalek unit. Unlike the others He was gold. Davros must have rewarded him with a promotion or an honor to have a different colored unit. Only Dalek Counsel or the Emperor Dalek himself have different colors than the standard workers. The tractor must be so proud.

"Well, I'm glad to know you're all going to die. Davros is going to fly this ship right into the jaws of the Nightmare Child, and you'll all be destroyed! It's just too bad I'm going to end up dying with you." Jenny said, still struggling with the bindings.

"Jenny…" Dalek Foreman said. he moved forward with his newly grafted laser arm and fired four quick shots. They struck her wrist and ankle bindings and vaporized them. She was free! She looked at Foreman with disbelief. What was he doing?

"Jenny…" Dalek Foreman whispered, "Run!"

Jenny ran out the door as fast as she could. She remembered where her ship was, even paralyzed, she was able to map the corridors and knew every nook and cranny she saw as she was delivered to the bridge and the operating room.. She wished she had a firearm. Daleks came out of the woodwork and fired on her. She ducked and weaved, dodging blasts. She saw blasts coming from behind her. She had some on her tail too!

The bolts that came from behind her missed and struck the Daleks in front of her! She turned around and Dalek Foreman was trailing behind her. His tiny laser fired nonstop as it struck the eyestalks and laser arms of his fellow Daleks. None are fatal wounds. Daleks do not kill Daleks. It doesn't mean he couldn't disable them.

. Not wanting to question small miracles, she picked up the pace, and turned a corner. Her ship was in the docking bay, Daleks were lined up attempting to stop her. Dalek Foreman skillfully disabled all of them. Laser arms and eyestalks dropped as the guards spun around franticly. She was rather impressed with his accuracy, and wondered if his new power armor had some upgrades.

"Lets go, Foreman!" She screamed and ran to her ship. David lowered the cargo bay door and she ran up the ramp. Dalek Foreman stood on the precipice, he looked at his disabled brothers and back to Jenny. "Foreman.. come-on!" Jenny screamed.

"Good bye, Jenny." The Dalek said and moved away.

"Damnit!" Jenny screamed. Running to the back of the cargo bay, she grabbed the sonic screwdriver from her toolbox and pointed it at the chassis of the retreating Dalek. The iconic EeEeEeEeE sounded from the glowing green rod, and the golden Dalek paused and began to move backwards.

"No… No… No… I must stay… I am a traitor… I must die for my betrayal! Jenny! Let me go! Please! I am a traitor." He pleaded franticly. His laser and plunger arms waved frantically as his eyestalk spun full circle.

"Like hell I will!" Jenny screamed. "You're a traitor to me, you will suffer my wrath. Death is NOTHING compared to what i'm going to do to you!"

She got Dalek Foreman into the ship, closed the hatch and queued up her newly upgraded weapons and blasted a hole in the side of the Emperor Dalek's flagship. David rocketed out of the hole and into the void of space. There was a massive shape in front of the Davro's ship.

With a few flips of a switch she rocketed out of the time pocket and into the time stream. She chuckled to herself as she saw the TARDIS close in on Davros's ship from the rear camera just as the time vortex closed.

"Go kick his ass, Dad" Jenny said to herself.

After Jenny set the ship to float in the time field for a while. She went to the cargo bay to check on Foreman. She didn't know why she dragged him along. It was crazy, stupid, irresponsible, and reckless. Everything her dad would have done.

The golden Dalek slammed himself against the hatch and screamed.

"Let… me… go…" it pleaded. Jenny's hearts broke watching the torment of her prisoner. His eyestalk swiveled up to her. "Please… just exterminate me… I am trator to Dalek… I am trator to you… I must exterminate myself…"

"No." Jenny said coldly. "No, you don't get off that easy." She was conflicted inside, and needed to lay down. She shut and locked the hatch and went to her quarters.. She knew her ship could explode in the night with a deranged Dalek locked in her cargo hold, but she just didn't care right now. Her forehead had finally closed up, her whole body ached and was covered in puncture marks, and she was done for the night.

She was almost in an automated state as she showered the blood and filth off her. Her military training kicked in as she stitched up the diagonal seven inch gash on her forehead. It will take a few days for her body to heal, but it will leave a scar from under her right eye, up the bridge of her nose and into her hairline. She never really thought herself as pretty, but now, looking at her face, she was revolted.

She crawled into bed, pulled up the covers and cried into her pillow until she fell asleep.
