Lieutenant Adventures Series 11 Chapter 4 22 July 2017. The Master Games.
The TARDIS flew through the Time Vortex. Suddenly there was a beeping like an alarm and the TARDIS made an emergency landing.
The Lieutenant looked at the console and then at Penelope. "What have you done to it?" he asked. "Stupid girl."
"I wasn't anywhere near the table! How could I have done anything?" shouted Penelope.
"It's not a table, it's called the console," snapped the Lieutenant.
"OK. Kill me for getting it wrong. Go on. Do it," commanded Penelope.
The Lieutenant looked at her and considered it for a moment.

"Well, don't hurry to see where you've crashed us, will you?" said the Lieutenant sarcastically while heading to the door.
"It wasn't me! How many times?! I was nowhere near your stupid machine!" complained Penelope.
The Lieutenant sensed something wrong the minute he left the TARDIS. He had his screwdriver out and it was picking up a lot of life forms.
"Where has the machine taken us?" asked Penelope when she left the TARDIS.
"Shut up, girl, I'm trying to listen," snapped the Lieutenant. "I can't see far ahead, it's pitch black and we're echoing so it's a cave," he said.
Suddenly, a running noise, the sound of thousands of paws, if not more, came from the darkness.
The Lieutenant took a few steps backwards, reluctant to use another regeneration so close to his last one.
Suddenly, wolves came out of the darkness and jumped on the Lieutenant and Penelope.
"Go on! Feast," said ?.
"Shut up, Penelope," snapped the Lieutenant.
"Stop suspecting me of everything!" exclaimed Penelope. She slapped a wolf over the head and it gave her enough time to get her knife out of her boot and she cut some wolves' necks."It wasn't me," she said. She reached for her gun, in her other boot, and shot out the brains of the wolves around her.
"You have to earn my respect, I'm afraid," said the Lieutenant, just as he was bitten. "Ow, bloody bastard!" He gave the wolf a good wallop.
Penelope shot out the brains of the wolves attacking the Lieutenant. "Have I earned it now?" she asked.
"Watch where you're shooting, girl, you could have shot me. Where would I have been then, eh? Regenerated and probably good again," ranted the Lieutenant.
"What are you garbling on about?" spat Penelope.
"Forget it, back in, quickly, more coming," said the Lieutenant, shoving Penelope back into the TARDIS and following her in. "Who spoke, anyway, if it wasn't you?" asked the Lieutenant.
"How do I know? I was behind you!" exclaimed Penelope.
The wolves could be heard scratching at the door of the TARDIS. "Go, Lieutenant, or do we want to be attacked again?" asked Penelope.
"Not particularly," said the Lieutenant, performing an emergency take off.
"What do I have to do to earn your trust?" asked Penelope.
"Well, you're only Human, you're inferior to me," said the Lieutenant, so, let me see. Kill me successfully, that's your challenge," said the Lieutenant.
"How can you respect me when you're dead?" asked Penelope.
"I've been a ghost after death before, why can't I be again?" asked the Lieutenant.
"So, I kill you, you come back and walk through walls and trust me and haunt me?" asked Penelope.
"Deal," said the Lieutenant, half-bored to death already.
Suddenly, there was a beeping sound and the TARDIS made another emergency landing.
"OK, I'll give you that one, you were no way near that time," said the Lieutenant.
"Thank you," said Penelope. "So, what did you do then?" she demanded.
"It wasn't me!" exclaimed the Lieutenant.
"Be very careful who you accuse, Lieutenant," snarled Penelope.
Suddenly, there was a pelting against the outside of the TARDIS like gunfire.
"Come out of the TARDIS with your hands up," said ?, the same voice from before.
"Yeah, right," said the Lieutenant, performing another emergency take off.
"A Time Lord!" exclaimed Penelope.
"Not necessarily," said the Lieutenant.
"But they know what a TARDIS is," said Penelope.
"The Time Lords aren't the only species that know about TARDISes," said the Lieutenant.
The TARDIS performed another emergency landing.
The Lieutenant turned on the scanner.
It displayed Hell. Literally, they had landed in Hell. Quickly, the Lieutenant performed an emergency take off. "Near-death attacks, a glimpse of the afterlife. Someone's trying to kill us but I doubt it's a Time Lord. I am now the most dangerous Time Lord alive," said the Lieutenant.
The TARDIS suddenly powered down, Completely powerless except for the comms.
"I am a Time Lady," said ?.
"Who are you?" asked the Lieutenant. "Which one, leave me alone or I'll splatter your brains and enjoy eating them," said the Lieutenant.
"I like your assistant," said ?.
"Answer the question, woman," bellowed the Lieutenant.
"Shut up, child, I'm not finished speaking," said ?.
"I used to be an executioner, I'll have you know, I used to be Lord President, you should respect me," said the Lieutenant.
"I still am an executioner and I used to be a Master," said ?, "you should respect me. I'm sending you a message now," she said.
Both the Lieutenant and Penelope stood in darkness for a moment. Then the Lieutenant rolled his eyes to Heaven. "Some good Time Lord you are if you can't control a TARDIS by mind-control," said the Lieutenant, sarcastically.
Just then, the scanner and hologram flickered to life, displaying a word, just a single word, all the instruments with a screen on the console displaying the same word, through the comms and every radio, the same word said and repeated over and over and over.
The Lieutenant gaped, he couldn't believe his eyes. It was time to chase her off.
Penelope was stunned. "Lieutenant, what is it? What's Missy?" she asked.
The Lieutenant turned to her. "How many times today have I told you to shut up, girl?" he yelled.
Missy stopped her message and resumed speaking on the comms. "Is that fear?" she asked. "Is the big bad Time Lord scared?"
"No," said the Lieutenant. "You are."
Missy laughed. "Why am I? I'm bigger and badder. Better. What use have I for fear?" she asked.
"Be off with you, Missy, because you seriously don't know what is now hunting you down and, I swear, we will kill you," snarled the Lieutenant.
"Make me," she said. "What can you do? Your TARDIS is dead," said Missy.
"This," said the Lieutenant, whipping out his screwdriver and pointing it at the comms whilst holding down the button. The noise was loud and horrible and, while Missy was distracted, he pulled a lever and powered the TARDIS back up. Then he stopped.
"Ow, ow, ow! My ears are bleeding, Lieutenant. My ears are literally bleeding. Do you realise what you just did? You could have deafened if not killed me!" exclaimed Missy.
"That's good," said the Lieutenant, "and do you know why that's good? It's good because it means you'll be careful before crossing paths with me again," he said. He then cut her off and dematerialised the TARDIS.
"Lieutenant, explain, who is Missy?" asked Penelope.
"The most evil Time Lord there is, second only to me," said the Lieutenant.
"And you nearly killed her?" asked Penelope.
"I did," said the Lieutenant.
"Were you serious about us killing her?" asked Penelope.
"No, thought I'd say it for the laugh," said the Lieutenant, sarcastically. "Yes, of course I was serious, Penelope, we are going to track her down one day and we are going to kill Missy."
NEXT TIME:
The TARDIS made an emergency landing in the Death Zone on Gallifrey.
"I swear, seriously, don't start this bloody annoyance again."
There was a loud banging outside like asteroids plummeting from the sky.
"No, sorry, don't talk, my head is sore enough as it is," said the Lieutenant.
