DOCTOR WHO.
BAD WOLF BAY
Part 3
By Z-King.
"Yes Brigadier, the Cybermen," said the Doctor.
"Just splendid," sighed the Brigadier.
"Cybermen?" said Mike Yates ending the talk with Rose as they both walked to the Doctor. "I think I read about them somewhere in the UNIT's file case."
"Yes, they invaded earth three years ago. Of course, with my help, the Cybermen were defeated," said The Doctor. "But it seems they have returned. If I'm right they are hiding somewhere in that camp Bad Wolf Bay."
"What is a Cybermen anyway?" asked Rose.
"I'll explain latter," said The Doctor.
"Right. I'll call in Geneva, tell them the Cybermen are back and station a full attack on their base," said the Brigadier heading out while the Doctor and company followed.
"Brigadier, that is not a good plan," said The Doctor.
"Doctor the last time my men faced the Cybermen we were almost completely slaughtered. I lost many soldiers that day, so I'm not going to wait around until they start marching up on London square again."
"I know, but listen to me Brigadier," said the Doctor. "When did the disappearances begin?"
"About a month ago but I don't see how that's…"
"Don't you see Brigadier?" said the Doctor interrupting the Brigadier. "This might not be another invasion. Perhaps they are some survivors of the last one, trying to rebuild their numbers. That's why all the disappearances are happing!"
Mike Yates stood next to the Doctor, "You mean these Cybermen are the ones kidnapping the people?"
"Yes Mr. Yates, and I'm afraid they are about to become the next soldiers for the Cybermen," said the Doctor with a grim look.
"Wait what do you mean?" asked Rose.
"The Cybermen are humans, or they use to be," said the Doctor, "The Cybermen convert other humans into Cybermen, replacing their limbs, flesh, and emotions with metal and circuitry."
Rose and Mike looked at the Doctor in shock while the Brigadier kept a stern look.
"Then what would you have us do Doctor?" the Brigadier asked.
"We take a group of UNIT soldiers, not too big, and look over the entire area. I will use my sonic screwdriver to try and find their base. Then we find any one of the missing people and get them out as fast a possible.
"So, it's a rescue mission then?" said the Brigadier. "Very well, but I want all my men to be armed to the teeth when the Cybermen attack. Agreed?"
"Agreed," said the Doctor. "Mr. Yates, find Mr. Benton and get everyone ready to move out."
The Brigadier nodded in agreement as Mike Yates walked out of the room.
"What about me? What can I do?" asked Rose.
The Doctor turned to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. He smiled at her.
"You will stay right here where it's safe."
"What, why?" asked Rose.
The Doctor face turned serious, "Because this is not some trip to the shop Rose, this is a serious mission."
"Well if it wasn't for me finding that Cybermat thing, you lot wouldn't know it was these Cyber guys!" said Rose trying to defend herself.
"Cybermen," corrected the Doctor.
"Whatever! The point is I want to help," Rose said. "Besides, you owe me."
"For what?" asked The Doctor.
"Well, you did almost hit me with your car." said Rose smiling.
The Doctor looked at her in amazement.
"Mike told me." She said with a smile.
"You did say you would keep an eye on her Doctor," said The Brigadier heading out to gather the men for the mission.
The Doctor looked at Rose's face filled with a mix of bravery and nervous. She reminds him a little bit of Zoe and Jamie, with a hint of Jo in there.
"Alright, but you have to stay by my side at all times, and do what I say. Understand?" smiled the Doctor.
"Yes sir," Rose said giving a smiling salute.
Outside Rose saw a lot of UNIT soldiers getting ready to head out, some getting in their military grade jeeps. Then, to her shock, she saw the Doctor pulled in with a canary-yellow Roadster. The Doctor squeezed the horn on the car.
"Well hop on Rose Tyler, it's time to go!" The Doctor said.
Rose looked at the Doctor and the car, she then let out a small laugh.
"You've got to be kidding me," Rose said laughing.
"Why what's wrong with Bessie?" asked the Doctor confused.
"Bessie? Is that what you called it?" laughed Rose.
"Come on Doctor don't you have a Whomobile or something?"
The Doctor stared at Rose with a raised eye brow as if to say, 'really?'
Rose stood there awkwardly, then decided to just got into the car.
"Now hold on, this is going to be fast," said the Doctor as he started Bessie up.
Rose heard the old engines starting and thought to herself, This old junk heap is never going to go-
Then suddenly, the old Roadster drove as fast as a racecar. Maybe even faster. Rose could not believe this, how can this car go this fast?
Then before she knew it the Roadster stopped. Rose looked around to find that they were still on the road and no camp in sight.
Rose turned to the Doctor and he simply said, "Stop light."
The pair waited for the light to change as Rose took a look around the Roadster. Then she looked at the Doctor.
"So you really are an alien?" she asked.
The Doctor turned to her with a surprised face.
"Mike told me that to."
The Doctor sighed, he'll have to make a mental note to himself about situations like this.
"So, now you know. Does that bother you?" asked the Doctor.
"Well, no. I mean, with a lot of stuff that just happened to me this would not be the most weird thing to happen to me," Rose said. "But if you are an alien, how come you look human?"
"Well, I like to think you humans look Time Lord," replied the Doctor.
"Time Lord?" asked Rose.
"Yes, that's what my race is called."
"Sounds a bit pompous if you ask me."
"Well, they have their moments when they think they can do what ever they want," said the Doctor with a small look of frustration on his face.
"So you lot, these Time Lords, they can travel in time or something?" asked Rose.
"Well, hence the name, but we use a TARDIS to travel in both space and time."
Rose face showed a look of surprise. "You mean that blue box can travel in time!?"
"And space. Actually the word TARDIS is an acronym for Time And Relative Dimension In Space," said the Doctor with pride.
"So you really can take me back to my time?" Rose said with hope.
"Well, the Cybermat damaged the TARDIS console when it went loose. a few engine parts were dismantled. I'm afraid, for the time being, you're stuck here."
Rose lowered her head in sadness. The Doctor was about to say something when the lights changed. The Doctor then moved the Roadster ahead, but not before he gave Rose a gentle pat on the head and said, "But as soon as I fix her up, I'll take you straight home."
Rose lifted her head up and smiled at the Doctor, just as he turned his attention to the road.
Soon they arrived at the abandoned camp where UNIT jeeps where waiting for them.
"You're late Doctor," said the Brigadier. "That's very surprising of you."
"Sorry, we've hit a red light Brig," said Rose coming out of Bessie.
"Brig?" repeated the Brigadier over Rose nickname for him. Sargent Benton and Captain Yates gave small laugh until the Brigadier turned and gave them a stern look.
"Brigadier have your men searched the area yet?" asked the Doctor.
"Not yet. We were waiting until you arrived," said the Brigadier as he turned to his troops.
"All right men, the mission is to sweep the entire area. Find anything that should not belong here and if you find any Cybermen, shoot to kill!" shouted the Brigadier as the men started to search.
Then the Brigadier heard a buzzing noise. He turned to the source of the noise, which was coming from the Doctor's sonic screwdriver.
"Doctor, what in blazes are you doing now?" the Brigadier said.
"I'm adding in the signal from the Cybermat to my sonic screwdriver. And, with a bit of luck, I might be able to find the location of the entrance to the Cybermen base."
The Doctor finished his tinkering and activated his device. He waved it in the air in different directions; on the left the screwdriver was making loud beeping noise while on the right it made barely any.
"Hmm, the signal is strongest on the left," he mumbled as he used his screwdriver to guide him. Meanwhile Rose, the Brigadier, Captain Yates and two other UNIT soldiers followed him.
"The signal seems to be strongest right there," the Doctor replied pointing at a cabin with the number marked 13.
"Thirteen is a bad sign right?" said Rose.
"Unless you're a Time Lord. Some say that is the high point of any life," said the Doctor as he walked up to cabin 13.
The two UNIT soldiers stood side by side with the Doctor as he slowly opened the door. The men came in weapons first, preparing for any kind of attack. But the room was empty.
"There's nothing in here," said the Brigadier.
"Nothing but beds and a table," said Mike Yates, "You sure the signal is strong here?"
"Yes, I'm sure. Look around the room for anything unusual," The Doctor said looking under the beds.
Rose looked around trying to find anything. This place was so creepy it remind her about that horror movie Mickey showed her, that movie about that hockey-masked psycho killing people in a summer camp.
CLANK!
Rose stopped in an instant. Everyone stopped what their doing and looked at her. Rose lowered her head and stamped her left foot on the wooden floor.
CLANK!
The Doctor walked slowly to Rose and motioned her to move away. Rose moved as the Doctor waved his sonic screwdriver on the spot Rose was standing on.
BUZZZZ.
The plank opened up sideways, revealing a metal tunnel. Everyone in the cabin approached the uncovered entrance.
"Well, guess I suppose you want us as recon Doctor?" asked the Brigadier.
"Whatever the plan is I'm going down there. You all can stay up here if you want," said the Doctor.
"Someone has to make sure you don't kill yourself down there," said the Brigadier.
The Doctor turned to look at Mike Yates and the two soldiers as they saluted, he then turned to Rose looking nervous.
"You don't have to go have to go with us any further Rose." he said.
Rose turned to face the Doctor while putting on her best brave face.
"Oh come on, I'm safe as long as I stick with you guys." she said, almost half convincing.
The Doctor smiled and said. "All right but if it gets too dangerous, you run when I say so."
"Those are words I never thought you'd say again," said The Brigadier.
The Doctor ignored him. They started heading down but before the Brigadier told one of the soldiers to tell Sargent Benton on where they are going.
They journeyed down, the Doctor first, Rose in the middle, and the Brigadier with the UNIT soldier and Mike Yates in the rear. As they moved, the walls around them seemed to be covered in metal, giving it a cold look.
"Um, Doctor? About those Cybermen things, where do they come from again?" asked Rose trying to think of something other then this eerie tunnel.
"Well Rose, I'll try to keep it short," said the Doctor, never keeping his eyes away from the front.
"Long ago Earth had a twin planet named Mondas. And somehow, the planet left its orbit. As it roamed the universe, the population of Mondas slowly started dying off, so the planets scientist found a way to survive."
The Doctor paused while Rose waited for him to continue.
The Doctor let out a sigh and continued.
"They replaced their entire body parts with cybernetic ones, until they became more machines then humans. They even managed to rid themselves of emotions."
"Why?" asked Rose, "Why did they get rid of their emotions?"
The Doctor turned to Rose with a sad tired look.
"Imagine you have a routine, you get up one morning to look at yourself in the mirror and you see your face. You see your hair, your eyes, your lips. This is because that person in the mirror is you and it reminds you that you are human. Now imagine yourself waking up again, but this time when you look at yourself in the mirror, you do not see your face; no eye color, no hair, no lips. You look at the reflection and see a mechanical face looking right back, and to your shock that face is you."
Rose listened on while holding her breath.
"And that is why I think the Cybermen take the emotions away. Because if you saw yourself as one of them, well, perhaps you'll go mad."
CLANG!
Everyone jumped and turned fast as two walls appeared from different sides of the hallway and closed behind them.
"What the Blazes?!" said the Brigadier.
"Where did they come form?!" shouted Mike Yates.
The Doctor came up to the doors and started to scan them with the sonic screwdriver.
Rose was now starting to get more frightened. Then suddenly, she felt someone was behind her. Rose slowly turned around and what she saw made her scream.
Everyone turned around at once to Rose's screams.
"Great balls of fire," said The Doctor as Rose held on to him for protection. The Brigadier and the soldiers raised their weapons. "This is not what I expected."
Surrounding them stood four figures. Their appearance looks humanoid in form, but what ever it was it's not human.
The creatures wore a silver, cloth-like material all over it's body, with a metal object on its chest. Bellow it was what looked like a glass circle with handles. On the metal object were tubes attaching to the back while overlapping metal shoulder plates. Its hands looked human, but the skin looked grey. Its face was covered in what looked like cloth with large black holes where they eyes would be and its mouth had two lines where the lips would be. On its head was a strange looking helmet with handles connecting to a circular object.
The Brigadier, Mike Yates, and the UNIT soldier raised their weapons towards the creatures.
The creature opened its mouth and spoke without moving its lips.
"You will drop your weapons or you will die."
"You better do as it says Brigadier," said The Doctor.
The Brigadier looked at the creatures. He was expecting Cybermen, not what ever these things are. But he knew when to surrender., even if he did not like it.
"All right, put your weapons down men," said the Brigadier as Mike Yates and the soldier slowly lowered their guns.
"You will move ahead of us and follow my directions," said the same creature.
The Doctor moved first, Rose followed second, the Brigadier and Mike Yates followed last, but the soldier did not move.
"You must move now," spoke the creature.
Anyone could see that soldier was scared out of his wits, and being frightened can make you do unwise things.
The soldier quickly grabbed his gun, but before he could fire on the creatures they grabbed metal object below the chest. The thing held it with both hands and let out a bright beam, killing him in an instant.
The Brigadier was about to grab his gun until the Doctor grabbed his arm, telling him it's no use. The Brigadier agreed with the Doctor. He will not die, not by these creatures.
"You didn't have to kill him!' shouted Rose then she was silent as the killer turned to her.
"He did not listen to my instructions. Now he is dead, you all will join him unless you obey."
"We obey," said The Doctor. He continued walking with the others behind.
"Doctor, what are they? And what do they have to do with the Cybermen?" asked the Brigadier.
"They are the Cybermen, Brigadier," whispered the Doctor.
"What?" said the Brigadier in shock.
"Be quiet Brigadier! I don't want them to hear," said the Doctor.
"They're the Cybermen?" said Mike Yates as the Doctor shushed him.
"But Doctor, the Cybermen did not look like that when they…."
"Because, Brigadier the Cybermen we faced before was from a different moment in time then this version."
"So, they from this timeline?" whispered Rose.
"Yes Rose, they are. "The Timelord answered.
"But how come they look like this?" whispered the Brigadier.
"Because this is what the Cybermen first started out as Brigadier," said the Doctor. "But the strange thing is that these type of Cybermen should not be here for about thirteen years."
"What?" said the Brigadier loudly, causing the Doctor, Rose, and Mike yates to shush him simultaneously.
"Stop," said one of the Cybermen.
The Group stopped and are shocked to see a huge cave filled with 17 humans gathered together in one spot guarded by two Cybermen. There were tunnels on each side of the cave, and from the roof a big metal object dripping with water.
"That up there must be their ship. Probably on the bottom of the lake," said the Doctor looking up.
"Look! It's the missing people!" said Mike Yates, seeing all the people siting in fear.
"But what about those tunnels?" asked Rose, "Where do they lead?"
"A very good question Rose Tyler," said the Doctor as he turned to face the Cybermen behind them. "Well what are the tunnels for?"
"The tunnels are used to allow us to travel through the underground of the city," said the Cybermen.
"Travel underground? That seems familiar," said the Brigadier.
"Hmm, and how many of you lot are here?" said the Doctor.
"Nine. But not for long," said the Cyberman.
"And why is that?" asked Rose.
"Because you as well as everyone here and on this planet will be like us." a voice behind them said.
The Group turned to the new voice as another Cyberman came up. But this one's face and chest where colored black.
"Ah, I suppose you must be the leader then?" said the Doctor stepping forward.
"Correct. You do not seem surprised to see us, why is that?" asked the Cyber Leader.
"Cyber Leader! I overheard their conversation. They know of the Cyber race," said one of the Cybermen.
"Impossible! How could they know of us?" said the Cyber Leader.
One of the Cybermen grabbed the Doctor's arm and brought him forward.
"Hey! Let go of him!" shouted Rose, only for a Cyberman to hold her in place.
"This one knows about us, he knows about Mondas," said the Cyberman.
"Oh ,so you heard that too?" asked Doctor.
"How do you know of Mondas?" said the Cyber Leader.
"Well, I'd be happy to tell you," said the Doctor, "As soon as you let my friends and all the humans here go free."
The Cyber Leader grabbed the Doctor by the shirt and lifted him up.
"Doctor!" shouted Rose but Mike and the Brigadier pulled her back.
"You will tell me or you will die," said the Cyber Leader.
The Doctor did not speak a word. Just as the Cyber Leader was about to start torturing him, two more Cybermen came out of one of the tunnels, carying something.
"Cyber Leader, we have made an important discovery!" shouted one the two Cybermen.
The Cyber Leader motioned the rest of the Cybermen to bring their new prisoners with them.
As they came down to the two new Cybermen, the Doctor got a better look at what they found. The object was human in shape but it was all too familiar to him and the Brigadier.
This object was a Cyberman, except this one ooked completely different from the others. Like the others, its body was covered in silver metal. But the device on its chest was completely different. On its arms and legs it had a metallic ball and line on them. Its head was very different from the others, its face showed black blank eyes with small tear dots on both sides of the eye. This Cyberman was more robotic then its active counterparts.
The Brigadier looked down at the Cyberman. He still remembers when they invaded and how they were almost wiped out.
"Where did you find this?" spoke the Cyber Leader.
"We found it in the tunnels damaged underneath the city," spoke one of the Cybermen as the Brigadier turned to the Doctor.
"Doctor," he said, "that's.."
"I know Brigadier, be quiet," whispered the Doctor, only for the Cyber Leader to turn to look at him. The Cyber Leader looked back at the Cyberman on the floor.
The Cyber Leader turned to one of the other Cybermen and said, "Take the prisoners to the rest of the humans, but take the one called the Doctor back to the ship with this…Cyberman."
"No!" Rose shouted as she ran in front of the Doctor, blocking him from the Cyber Leader.
"Step aside or you will die," said the Cyber Leader, but Rose stood bravely. she was scared out of her mind. Why was she standing there? What could she do against this metal man?
The Doctor turned Rose to face her and spoke, "Rose don't be foolish. Do as it said."
"But…"
"Don't worry Rose, I know what I am doing. Trust me," said the Doctor as he put an object into Rose's hand.
She looked down to see it was the sonic screwdriver. She looked at the Doctor, who put his hand near his lips saying to be quiet. She nodded and went back to her place, carefully hiding the sonic device.
The Doctor looked at his captors and looked up at the bottom of the Cyber ship sticking out of the cave's celling.
"So, how do you suppose we get up there?" asked The Doctor.
The Cyber Leader pulled out a cylindrical device and pressed a button. Then a tube opened up at the bottom of the ship, heading downward till it stopped at the ground by the group.
"Hmm, so you have your own elevator? Hmm impressive," said the Doctor as he looked at the tube.
"You will enter at once," commanded the Cyber leader.
The Doctor went in, then followed the Cyber Leader as well as the two Cybermen carrying their discovery. The tube closed, and suddenly they were all lifted by some unknown force.
"Ah, anti-gravity lift?" asked The Doctor. "Impressive, to bad you all only interested in making the rest of the universe like you."
"Be silent," spoke the Cyber Leader as they continued to travel up towards a hole in the ship. Once they entered it, the hole closed and the gravity stopped.
"Take this Cyber unit to be examined," spoke the Cyber leader.
"No, you can't do that!" shouted the Doctor, causing the Cybermen to stare at the Doctor.
"Why?" spoke the Cyber Leader.
The Doctor immediately regretted his outburst. If the Cybermen find out that this Cyberman is from the future then who knows what damage they could cause.
He'd have to think of something quick.
"Because...well...this could be a trick set up by the military of this planet." He said.
"The humans do not know of us," spoke one of the Cybermen.
"Well, me and the others know about you lot. Who's to say we don't know more?" said the Doctor.
The Cybermen just looked at the Doctor.
Then The Cyber leader turned to the other Cybermen and said to them, "Take this unit and the Doctor to the repair bay at once."
"What?! No! Why me?" said the Doctor.
"Your knowledge of our race is questionable. If you do know of our race then you will help us to learn from this cyber unit. If you fail then you will be destroyed," Spoke the Cyber Leader.
"And if I refuse to help?" said the Doctor standing his ground.
"Then you will die."
"Hmm. So if I help you and fail, you kill me. But if I don't help you'll still kill me," the Doctor said rubbing his chin. "And if I help you with getting the information from this dead Cyberman, what happens to me then?"
"You will become like us." the mechanical leader spoke.
"So no matter how you look at it the ultimatum will still be death." said the Doctor.
The Doctor rubbed his chin in thought as the two Cybermen took the future Cyberman to the repair bay, leaving him alone with the Cyber Leader. He then looked at the Cyber leader and said,
"I'll only help you if you let the humans and my companions go free," said the Doctor.
"No." spoke the Cyber Leader.
The Doctor lowered his eyebrows in anger.
"I wont help you if you do not release the humans at once!'
"The humans are needed for our plans," spoke the Cyber leader. "And you will help us with the plans and this Cyberman. If you refuse you will die."
"Yes I know, and if I do help you I'll be turned into one of you. Well, I'd rather die then become like you!"
The Cyber Leader was silent.
"Do you hate our race, Doctor?" asked The Cyber leader.
The Doctor's anger turned to sorrow.
"No. I don't hate the Cybermen. I just feel pity for you. All this potential and you waste it forcing everyone to a life of conformity. Perhaps….your race should have met their end with dignity."
"Unacceptable! We must survive!" spoke the Cyber leader.
"You call this surviving?!" said the Doctor waving his hands at the Cyber leader. "This is not surviving! Living organic creatures cannot live as machines, people can't grow as machines. That's why many species are surviving out there in the universe because they are not machines!"
"Cyber leader!" said a Cyberman by the door.
The Doctor and the Cyber leader turned to the new Cyberman.
"The unknown unit is awakening," spoke the Cyberman.
"What?!" shouted The Doctor.
He began to run past the Cyberman as it raised its weapon, attempting to fire at the Doctor. It was stopped by the Cyber leader who motioned to follow the Doctor.
The Doctor ran across the halls to the repair room. Thankfully, he remembers his time on a similar Cybermen ship two lives back.
The Doctor came to the room, seeing the future Cyberman laying on the table connected with a machine that held multiple tubes on the Cyberman's chest. The metal creature started to let out moans and moved its hands slightly.
"Oh no, I've got to stop that Cyberman from reactivating," mumbled the Doctor. He was about to sabotage the machine when he felt hard cold hands grasp both of his shoulders.
The Doctor turned his head to see one of the other Cyberman holding him in place with the Cyber Leader by his side.
"Hold him," the Cyber leader spoke as he approached the waking Cyberman.
"Listen to me, you must not speak with that Cyberman!" shouted the Doctor.
"I will get my information from this unit. You are no longer important Doctor," spoke the Cyber leader.
"D...D...D...D...Doc...Tor."
The Doctor and the Cybermen turned to the new voice with came from the downed Cyberman.
The Cyberman slowly rose up. It moved its head, gazing at the room and turned his attention at the Cyber leader.
"Y...You are the Cy-cy-cy-cy-Cyber leader?" the Cyberman spoke, it's voice creaking.
"Yes," spoke the Cyber Leader. "You are from the future?"
"I-I-I ammmm," said the Cyberman.
"Please, listen to me, don't do this," hissed the Doctor.
"Take the Doctor to be converted," ordered the Cyber Leader.
The future Cyberman turned its head towards the Doctor.
"Heeeee is theeeeee Doctor?" it spoke pointing at the Doctor.
"Yes," answered the Cyber Leader.
"Well now you done it," replied the Doctor, trying to get out of the Cyberman's grip.
Then suddenly, the future Cyberman stood up fast enough to knock itself over. suprisingly, it was still not fully charged. It raised itself up and slowly started to walk towards the Doctor.
"The- the – the –the Doctor mu-mu-mu-must die!," The future Cyberman spook. "He is theeeeee destroyer of Monnnnnndas and aaaaa threat toooo the Cyber race!"
And on that note the Doctor used all of his strength, releasing himself of his holder's grip. Amazingly, he flipped his captor towards the future Cyberman.
The Doctor put his left hand on his arm and said, "You Cybermen are a lot heaver then I expected, goodbye!"
The Doctor ran as fast as he could while the future Cyberman pushed its prototype off of him. The future Cyberman turned to the Cyber leader and said.
"The Doct-t-t-t-t-or is a th-th-th-th-threat! He must be destroyed!"
"The Doctor will be destroyed for the good of our race and you will help us," commanded the Cyber Leader.
"I ob-b-b-b-bey. For the survival of our ra-ra-race," shouted the future Cyberman.
While this was going on, outside The Brigadier, Rose, and Mike were all in the metal cage with the other humans. Each one of the other prisoners where completely terrified. Brigadier, on the other hand, would not let fear come to him or those who follow. At that moment, started to formulate a plan.
"Alright, if I know the Doctor well, he's right now causing some commotion in the Cybermen's ship and leaving only those two guarding us," whispered the Brigadier.
"What's the point?" moaned one of the prisoners, whom was named Phil. He held onto his girlfriend, Mary, who was shaking nonstop.
"Yeah, those things will only kills if we try anything," said another prisoner.
"Well we cant stay here and wait to be turned into one of them, now can we?" said Mike. "Okay Brigadier sir, what's the plan?"
The Brigadier looked at the surroundings. He made sure that there was no other Cybermen about. He then remembered that whatever weapons they brought with them where left behind when they were discovered.
The Brigadier then noticed Rose Tyler holding on to something.
"What do you have their Ms. Tyler?" He asked.
Rose snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the Brigadier.
"Well," Rose began, quickly turning her head to make sure the guards where not listening.
"The Doctor gave me his sonic thing before those Cybermen took him," Rose said, showing the Brigadier the sonic screwdriver. "But I don't know what to do with it."
The Brigadier stared at the device, remembering how that little thing saved their lives in the past.
"Hmm... seems the Doctor has given us the means to escape," he said.
"But how can this…." She began.
"Human female." The guard interrupted.
Rose and the Brigadier turned to see one of the guards looking at them.
"What is that device?" It asked.
Rose quickly hid the sonic screwdriver behind her back.
"What device?" Rose asked sweetly.
But the Cyberman was not fooled. It opened the metal gate, causing many of the prisoners to move back in fear leaving only Rose, Mike, and the Brigadier out in the open.
"Give me the device at once or suffer," said the Cyberman, inching closer to Rose.
"Stay away from her!" shouted Mike trying to get to the Cyberman, only for the second one to stand in his and the Brigadier's way while holding its weapon at them.
Rose looked at her friends, then at the other prisoners, hoping that they could help her out. But they were too scared of the Cybermen, not that she could blame them.
Rose then revealed the sonic screwdriver to the Cyberman.
"Give it to me," it said holding, it's hand out.
Rose looked at the Cyberman and at the screwdriver. She then remembered when the Doctor last used it.
Rose gave the Cyberman a smile. "Okay. But remember mate, you asked for it."
Rose raised the screwdriver and moved her thumb down on the striped part of the device.
BUZZZZZZZZ!
Rose cringed her teeth at the loud sound the device made, then she noticed the Cyberman grabbing its head. It looked like it was in agony, and so was the other one.
That other Cyberman, while in a state of agony dropped it's weapon. The Brigadier quickly grabbed the weapon and pressed on the holders, firing at the Cyberman. The blast gave it a huge hole in its chest. Then he aimed it at the one by Rose.
"Ms. Tyler! Get out of the way!" ordered the Brigadier.
Rose quickly moved far away form the Cyberman as the Brigadier fired, blowing its head off in the process.
"Everyone stay clam and follow us before more of them show up!" The Brigadier ordered the prisoners. They all started to move slightly around the dead Cybermen. While following the Brigadier, Mike and Rose discovered cave they came out of.
"Wait, what about the Doctor?" said Rose pointing to the buried ship.
"Trust me Ms. Tyler, the Doctor can take care of himself," said the Brigadier. "Right now, we do what he would and get these people out of here."
Rose looked back at the ship, then sighed and followed the group.
Back at the ship, the Doctor tried his best to remember which way the main engines where located. Aside from the pain in his shoulders and arm, he was getting rather annoyed.
"Come on now Doctor think," he mumbled to himself while rubbing his temples.
The Doctor soon came to a fork in the hallway. Left or right? Which way is the engine and which is not? The Doctor frowned. There is only one sure-fire way to decide a problem like this.
The Doctor took a deep breath, raised his left hand and index finger and said.
"Eeny, meeny, miny, mo, catch a tiger by the toe. If he hollers let him go. Eeny, meeny,miney…."
Boooom!
The Doctor ducked as the lazer beam just barely missed him. He turned fast to see a Cyberman holding its weapon, ready to fire again.
"Moe!" shouted the Doctor pointing at the left hall. He ran as fast as his legs could carry.
The Cyber Leader and the Future Cyberman walked up behind the firing Cyberman.
"The Doctor must be-be-be-be stopped, he must not destroy us-us-us-us again!" Shouted the Future Cyberman.
"He will not escape from us," spoke the Cyber leader.
Then another Cyberman walked up to the Cyber Leader.
"Cyber Leader, the human prisoners have escaped." It said.
"What? How is this possible?" spoke the Cyber Leader.
"It does not matter," spoke the Future Cyberman. "The destru-stru-stru-struction of the Doctor is more important for the survival of our ra-ra-ra-race."
The Cyber leader stood motionless, then it looked at it's subordinate.
"Ignore the humans. The Doctor must be captured." said the Cyber Leader.
"But the humans will…"
"Will not escape. The walls implanted in the tunnels will stop them," said the Cyber Leader. "Now follow my orders. Summon all Cybermen and find the Doctor."
"Command acknowledged."
Outside the ship and in one of the tunnels, the now free humans stop at the front of the wall. the Brigadier ordered them back. Once everyone was out of the way, the Brigadier raised the Cyber weapon up and fired at the wall, cutting a big hole.
"Everyone, the way out is through there! Once out my men will take you back to your homes, now go!" the Brigadier ordered. The prisoners headed out to the surface.
"Captain, inform Sargent Benton about the Cybermen ship in the lake," said the Brigadier to Mike Yates.
"Yes sir!"
"And escort Ms. Tyler back to UNIT headquarters at once."
"Yes Brigadier," saluted Mike Yates. "Now Rose, we…"
But the captain stopped as he and the Brigadier noticed that she was not there. It didn't take long to figure out where she could be.
"No matter what the timeline, young women are always so stubborn," sighed the Brigadier.
Back at the ship, The Doctor finally found the main engine room after a couple of bad turns. It doesn't help trying to find one room while your being shot at. But that's his life.
"Okay now, let me see. Where is the control panel?" The Doctor said, rubbing his hands together. He spots a circular object right between two huge cylinder-shaped devices giving off steam.
"Perfect, some thing easy," The Doctor exclaimed as he walked towards the controls. He then went to work. "Now, all I have to do is reverse the polarity and then…."
"Do not move."
The Doctor stopped and lifted his head up to find the Cyber leader, the future Cyberman, and what looked like a few of the ship's Cybermen.
"I'm seeing seven Cybermen including you Cyber Leader," said the Doctor. he pointed at the future cyborg and continued, "But not you, because you where not made yet."
"You will not escape. Just as the humans will not escape from us," said the Cyber Leader raising its weapon.
"Oh, so that means your prisoners have escaped then?" asked the Doctor. "Good job Rose.
"This conversation is me-me-me-meaningless," spoke the future Cyberman. "You will now die Do-doc-doc-doc-ctor."
"Really? What happened to converting me then? You don't want me to be a Cyberman anymore?" asked the Doctor.
"From what we are told you are too dangerous to be converted or be left alive," spoke the Cyber Leader.
"So, you told them everything about the future of the Cybermen?" The Doctor asked, glaring at the future Cybermen.
"Yes," The future Cyberman answered. "And wi-w-w-w-w-with-with-with the knowledge I have giv-giv-giv-given them the Cyber race will be str-str-str-stronger then ever. We-we-we-we will convert all humans into new Cy-cy-cybermen born form the knowledge of the future. When-when-when Mondas returns to this or-or-orbit we will destroy the Earth, thus saving ou-our-ourrrrrr home and begin o-our-our mission to survive!"
Clap. Clap. Clap.
The room was silent except for the Doctor's slow clapping and the quiet roar of the engine.
"Bravo, bravo. You lot just proved to me the levels one would go should anyone gain anything from their own future," said the Doctor, ceasing his clapping. "But you do know that I'm going to stop you all?"
"You are surrounded. Trapped. There is nowhere left to go," spoke the Cyber Leader.
"Yes, it seems that I'm trapped in the main engine room. There is nowhere left for me to go," said the Doctor in a stern voice. "But there is something you all should have realized by now."
"What is that?" spoke the Cyber Leader.
"While your guest from the future was talking about your new plans I was busy rearranging your ships engine power. So, in about ten minutes, this ship is going to explode," said the Doctor with pride.
"You lie," spoke the Cyber leader.
"Oh I'm afraid I'm not. And if you, any of you fire in here it would only speed up the process. But if I am lying then come on! Take the shot, I'm right here," the Doctor said holding his arms out. "But before you fire, think; Would you take that chance?"
"All Cy-cy-cybermen fire!" ordered the future Cyberman.
The Doctor stood still, waiting. But the rest of the Cybermen did not move an inch. Hmm, perhaps their not as hopeless after all, he thought.
"Follow m-my-m-my orders destroy the Doctor!" spoke the future Cyberman getting what looks like in raged which is very uncommon for a Cybermen to act.
The Doctor pondered. Maybe this one was affected by the device he used on them back during the first invasion. He wished he could remember what it was called.
"We cannot fire, the Doctor is right," spoke the Cyber Leader.
"The Doctor is staling we-we-we-we must kill-kill-kill him now!" The Future Cyberman yelled.
"You are still damaged. You are not thinking clearly."
The Future Cyberman then knocked the Cyber leader down. With great force it pulled the Cyber leader's weapon out of its hands. It fired at the Doctor.
Luckily he dodged the beam, but it was unlucky that it hit the engine controls.
"Oh now you done it," said the Doctor as sparks of electricity shot across the room, hitting some of the Cybermen. The surge was powerful enough to knock them dead.
"Bye," the Doctor shouted as he ran past the dead Cybermen and just missing the future Cyberman.
The Future Cyberman was about to follow when the Cyber Leader's hand grabbed his ankle.
"You have doomed us all!" spoke the Cyber Leader, only for the future Cyberman to fire at the leader's body. The explosion destroyed the Cyber Leader, reducing it to shrapnel. The Future Cyberman continued its chase.
Meanwhile...
Outside, Rose came out of the tunnel with the screwdriver in hand. The ship started to shake, causing some of the rocks to fall.
Rose quickly leapt out of any oncoming rockslide. Rose saw the tube that carried The Doctor in the ship. She was about to go into it, ignoring the falling rocks, when she felt a hand on the one that hold the sonic screwdriver.
She turned quickly to see the Doctor.
"Run!" he said, and there is no reason for her to argue at this point.
They ran as fast as their legs can carry quickly, dodging any falling rocks.
You know if their lives where not at stake, Rose would be very excited at right now. She doesn't know what's wrong with her. Why is she feeling like this? Is it because she's with the Doctor right now? Could it be some sort of alien thing that's rubbing off on her? Or it could be nothing. Whatever the reason, until she gets back home, she is never leaving the Doctor's side.
The Doctor and Rose managed to go into the tunnel. While they were about to leave, a blast of energy fired behind. Then another at their heel, causing them to fall down.
They looked up to see the future Cyberman approaching, but this time it only had one arm holding the cyber weapon. The other arm was torn by some of the falling rock, and its face looked cracked, exposing what was once human flesh.
"Y-y-y-you willllll not escaaaaaape frommmmme me DOCTOR!"
Rose was about to use the sonic screwdriver at the damaged Cyberman, but then she realized that the device was now by the Cyberman's feet.
"Well you seen better days," said the Doctor trying to shield Rose, "Where are the others then? Did you leave them to die?"
"Alllll That-that-that mattersssss is your-your-your death," spoke the damaged Cyberman, ready to fire.
Booom!
The Doctor and Rose stood motionless as the Cyberman fell dead with a huge hole in its chest. The two turned to find the Brigadier holding a Cyber device.
"I just cant let you out of my sight can I?" said the Brigadier.
"Ah, Brigadier. What took you?" said the Doctor, causing Rose to laugh.
The Brigadier frowned. "That's gratitude for you Ms. Tyler."
Back at the camp Mike Yates and Benton where helping the soldiers getting the captive people away from the camp one by one.
"Where's the Brigadier?" asked Benton.
"He went in to get Rose," answered Mike Yates.
Cabin 13's doors slammed open and out came The Doctor, Rose Tyler, and the Brigadier running.
"Quick, everyone out of the camp now our you'll all get caught in the blast!" the Doctor shouted to everyone.
Soon everyone was out the camp. By the time the Doctor and company got out, the lake let out a huge explosion. One by one, the cabins burst until finally there was nothing left of the camp except for burned wood, wet ground, flapping fish, and a few pieces of metal.
"Well, I for one will never set foot in a camp again," said Rose Tyler to break the silence.
"Indeed," smiled the Doctor.
"You think they escaped?" asked Benton.
"Oh I doubt it, Sargent," said the Doctor.
"Just in case Doctor I'll have a few men look into this," said the Brigadier. "All right men, I want all these people at the closest hospital ASAP!"
As the rest of soldiers went to load the people into the jeeps, The Doctor, Rose, Mike, Benton, and the Brigadier stood by the entrance sign, the only thing that could acknowledge that a camp was ever there.
"So you saw the Cybermen, Captain?" asked Benton to Mike. "What do you think of them?"
Mike paused for a bit and said, "Well they gave me the creeps. They kinda reminded me of walking statues."
Rose's eyes widened after hearing that, then suddenly a memory came to her. The Doctor looked at Rose as she stated to shake. He stood in front of her.
"Rose what's wrong?" he asked.
Rose looked at the Doctor.
"I remember now!"
The Brigadier, Mike, and Benton looked at Rose as the Doctor tried to calm her down.
"Clam down Rose. Remember what?" asked the Doctor.
"I remember what happened to me," she said calming down.
"Really? What do you remember?" the Doctor asked softly.
Rose took a deep breath and tried to say what she remembered.
"I was leaving work and was headed for my I felt someone was behind me, I turned around to find a statue was behind me."
"A statue?" said the Brigadier.
The Doctor hushed the Brigadier and asked Rose to continue.
"It was strange I did not remember it being there before. I brushed it off as nothing and turned away. The next thing I knew I woke up in, well, UNIT."
Everyone was silent, trying to ponder this new information.
"Did the statue looked like a devil?" asked Mike Yates, remembering the whole Demon incident.
Rose shook her head. "No, it looked like…an angel."
While Rose was telling them more on what she remembered the Doctor was deep in thought over what Rose had said.
"A Weeping Angel," mumbled the Doctor.
Rose turned to the Doctor, "What was that?"
The Doctor looked at Rose and smiled.
"Oh nothing, just thinking aloud. Now, after we make sure everyone is safe we will head back to UNIT headquarters. I'll start working on the TARDIS console and see get you home," Rose was relieved at that thought.
"Now Ms. Tyler, how about I drive you back to headquarters?" offered Benton.
"It's okay Sargent, I'll do it," Mike Yates said.
"Forgive me Captain, but you drove her last time perhaps I could…."
"Easy boys. I'll drive with the Doctor. But hey, maybe next time," smiled Rose heading straight for BESSIE while being followed by Mike and Benton.
The Doctor smiled at Rose. What an extraordinary young lady; she had met him a couple of hours and now she was willing to risk her life for him. If he wanted to, he could make her a new traveling companion. Unfortunately, the mystery of her arrival must come first.
"I heard what you said Doctor."
The Doctor turned his head to the Brigadier looking at him.
"What are these Weeping Angles Doctor? And what do they have to do with Ms. Tyler being in our time?"
The Doctor turned to face the Brigadier fully and he put a hand on his shoulder.
"Brigadier, old chap," said the Doctor, "I'll explain latter."
The Doctor then started walking towards BESSIE, leaving the Brigadier standing alone.
The Brigadier huffed, "If I had a pound for every time I heard that..."
He started walking to one of the UNIT jeeps, all unaware that across the way on the left side of the camp on a hillside stood a single figure.
The figure's form looked human, except the body was covered not in skin but stone. It had wings on it's back. The Figure looked to be an angel with it's hands covering it's face, and it was not alone.
A man walked up behind the stone angel, patting it on the head like a owner would to a pet.
The man was wearing all black, but also had white cuffs on his hands and his face showed a black and white beard with eyes that could dig deep in a person's soul. He spoke with a voice both soft and menacing;
"Don't blink Doctor, don't blink."
