"The Soup! The Soup! The Soup!" This was the final straw for the Master.
"STOP REPEATING YOURSELF, IT'S NOT HELPING MATTERS! ARGH!" The Master began to melt, but he dashed into his TARDIS, shoving Jo out of the way, and turning off the vacuum cleaner. The TARDIS began to dematerialise, with half of the Clanger's soup still aboard.
"NEVER!" the Doctor shouted, but it was too late, the Master had gone, taking Tiny Clanger with him.
It was a while later, and the Clangers were all sitting together, silent in their grief. One of them was dead, and another taken away to who knows where with an evil criminal genius.
"Can we not track them in the TARDIS?" Jo asked for the umpteenth time, and the Doctor looked pained as he replied.
"No, the TARDIS cannot move, remember?" Major Clanger ventured a suggestion.
"If your craft cannot move, then how did the Master's one sod off?" The Doctor tried to think of an explaination.
"Well, it's a simple case of, his TARDIS is more sophisticated than mine, but that does mean, well-" The Doctor sat up suddenly. "HE CAN'T! He can't leave!" He can't!"
"Stop repeating yourself, it's not helping matters!"
"Aha! Proof!" the Doctor exclaimed, while the others just looked blank.
"How is that possible? We saw him sod off!" Major Clanger demanded, rising to his feet.
"Well, TARDISes have a capability to make them appear invisible, I used it myself in my previous self-"
"What you mean that short guy in the baggy trousers?"
"Yes Jo, but please don't interrupt! I was travelling with Jamie and Zoe, and we had landed in the middle of a Cyberman invasion, and we had to search around for the TARDIS as I had repaired the circuit which gives the TARDIS that capability. The Master must have used his as his TARDIS is stuck too!" Having listened to his explaination, the Clangers, The Doctor, and The Jo, rose and dashed to where the TARDIS was last seen. The Doctor picked up a rock, and proceeded to throw it at where the TARDIS was. It seemed the bounce off the air, and hit the ground with a clang.
"Right, now we have to find the door!" the Doctor said, and began to walk like a zombie, arms out before him, feeling around for the doors. The others followed suit, and it was Small Clanger who eventually found them. They flooded in, and apprehended the Master as he was about to eat a sandwich.
"Curses! Foiled again!" the Master said, and grabbed his TCE, but Major Clanger was quick enough to knock it out of his hands. Tiny Clanger whimpered, and they all turned to find Tiny tied to a chair by a thick rope. Jo ran across and freed Tiny, who immediately jumped up and began to bash the Master with a Perpetual Electromagnetic Pulse Generator.
"NOO!" the Master screamed as the device shattered, and the Doctor gave a gasp as full power suddenly returned to the TARDIS.
"NEVER!" the Doctor exclaimed, and dragged them all out of the TARDIS.
"Stop repeating your-" The Master became senseless, owing to a swift smack about the head by a PEPG wielding Tiny Clanger.
"What happened?!" Jo asked as they emerged from the invisible TARDIS.
"The device Tiny was using to bash the Master about the head with was a Perpetual Electromagnetic Pulse Generator, which creates an electromagnetic pulse large enough to stop electronic equipment functioning. When the device was destroyed, the pulse stopped, so electronic equipment began to work again. This means the Master can now leave in his TARDIS!"
"But why would the Master want to stop his TARDIS working?" Small Clanger enquired.
"Well, it was more than likely a case of keeping ME here, rather than him. I think that as he was melting, he forgot to turn the device off, so he could not leave." As he finished speaking, the sound of the TARDIS leaving filled the, well there isn't any air, so I'll have to say vacuum, and they turned around.
"Oh dear," Jo said, and they all turned to look at her. "We forgot Tiny again!"
Inside the Doctor's TARDIS, the Clangers were preparing to leave their Small Blue Planet, and take to the time vortex to find the Master, but more importantly Tiny Clanger and their soup. They strapped on extra armour, and called the Soup Dragon, the Baby Soup Dragon, Froglets and the Iron Chicken to help. The Doctor looked on in despair as his TARDIS was crowded out by Pink mice, two Dragons, Orange blobs and a squawking metal chicken, and of course, Jo and he. Sighing, he set the course to follow the Master. The TARDIS materiallised in a spaceship, and green blobs immediately surrounded it, tentacles whipping out, wreathed in glowing electricity...
So, they find themselves where they were before, Tiny Clangerless, but now surrounded by electrical green blobs. Oh dear.
