Chapter 4: Sinking Fast
Clyde ran into the attic yelling, "Guys, guys! I have something to tell you!".
Sarah, Rani and Luke all looked up at him, ready to listen.
"The Doctor is with the Trickster!"
The room paused, then was filled with the sounds of laughter.
"Good one, Clyde!" laughed Luke.
"Oh, look at me! I'm the Doctor! I'm evil! I will kill Sarah Jane Smith!" mocked Rani, causing even more laughter.
"No, I'm not joking! He's gonna destroy Earth or something!"
"Oh, Clyde," Sarah Jane walked towards Clyde and out her arm around him. "You must be seeing things again."
The Doctor walked in, looking around at everyone laughing.
"What are we laughing about then?" he asked.
"Doctor, Clyde thinks that you're with the Trickster!" smiled Sarah Jane Smith.
The Doctor gave a small laugh and then shot Clyde a grin, showing rows of sharp teeth.
"Did you see that?!" Clyde practically yelled, pointing at the Doctor.
"Don't be silly, Clyde," smiled the Doctor. "Now all of you, I wanna show you something in the TARDIS. Follow me."
The Doctor and all the others walked in, shutting the doors behind them. The Doctor led them through endless corridors until they reached a small room with holes in the walls. As soon as they had walked in, The Doctor shut the door and locked it with his sonic screwdriver. Sarah Jane tried to open it but her sonic lipstick wouldn't turn on.
"Why won't it turn on?" said Sarah Jane, practically breaking it with her hand.
"In the TARDIS, it blocks out all sonic devices except the sonic screwdriver. Your lipstick won't work."
Sarah abandoned this tactic and began calling to the Doctor.
"Doctor, what are you doing? Let us out!"
This time the Doctor spoke, he had razor sharp teeth and his voice was not his but the voice of the Trickster.
"This is a water chamber, Miss Smith. I fill it with water, you drown. Simple enough?"
"Trickster, what have you done to him?" yelled Sarah Jane, banging on the door.
"I have...upgraded him. Have a nice swim."
The Doctor hit a button on the wall and the chamber began to fill with water. The whole gang began to feel around the walls for an escape button or anything that could help them. But Sarah just stood there, looking grimly at her feet.
"It won't work," she sighed. "The Time Lords built their TARDIS' too be escape=proof. We're stuck here..."
"But Sarah Jane, there must be a way out!" said Rani, looking more worried than before.
"No, Rani. There's no way out..."
