Hello, everyone! So, I was given a request to do an episode. This time its a 3rd Doctor episode. I haven't tried to do this yet, and I've been trying to do all the research I can on this episode, but there seems to be nowhere I can watch the full episode. If I have done something wrong, please tell me so. Alright, here we go!

The Daemons Part 1
When I awoke again, I was in a bed somewhere I didn't recognize. I must be with an early regeneration. I went over to the desk that was in the room to see some papers that had U.N.I.T stuff on it. I must be at U.N.I.T. I knew the Doctor had been a part of U.N.I.T at one time or another. I walked out and saw a soldier walking by. "Excuse me." The soldier stopped and looked at me. "Do you know where I can find the Doctor?"
"Oh, yes Ms. Foster. He's in the garage." He was about to leave.
"Can you point me to the garage? I have forgotten how to get there."
"You just go down that hallway, turn left, and you'll see a door that says garage on it."
"Thank you!" I said leaving to head that way. I got to the door soon enough and found the Third Doctor and Jo in the garage working on old Bessie. I smiled vaguely reading about that car.
"But it really is the dawning of the age of Aquarius." Jo said.
"So?" The Doctor asked. I smiled.
"Well, that means the occult. Well, you know, the supernatural and all that magic bit."
"So does that make me the queen?" I asked making my presence known. "My sign is Aquarius." I said going over to the Doctor. He smiled and kissed me on the cheek.
"You're always a queen."
"You're too sweet." I said blushing. I went over and stood next to Jo.
"You know, really, Jo, I'm obviously wasting my time trying to turn you into a scientist. At least Kate had some knowledge when we first met."
"Well, how do you know there's nothing in it?" Jo asked.
"How? Well, I just know, that's all. Everything that happens in life must have a scientific explanation. If you know where to look for it, that is. Right, Kate?"
"Well, I think that a lot of things can be explained, but there is still a lot that can't be explained. I'm not throwing out the idea of magic." I said.
"You and that book series. You're obsessed." He said getting back to work.
"Yes, but suppose something was to happen and nobody knew the explanation. Well, nobody in the world, in the universe. Well, that would be magic, wouldn't it?" Jo asked. I nodded my head.
"You know, Jo, for a reasonably intelligent young lady, you do have the most absurd ideas." Just then Bessie started up and drove off. I didn't know she could do that. It doesn't surprise me that she could.
"Doctor, look!" Jo exclaimed. Bessie drove around the yard and came back. I just laughed.
"Bessie, how dare you go gallivanting around like that." The Doctor said. The car honked. 'Are you sorry?" She honked again. "Very well, I forgive you. Now go back to your parking place before I change my mind." She reversed out of the garage and went to I guess wherever the Doctor wanted her.
"Don't be too hard on the car." I said.
"I can't just have her driving around by herself." He said. Just then a man I think his name was Yates came in.
"I know there's a good explanation for all this, but I just can't think of it for the moment." He said.
"Would you believe magic?" The Doctor asked.
"Magic?" The man asked confused.
"Hmm."
"No!" The man exclaimed.
"Well, Jo and Kate would."
"That's not fair." Jo said.
"Okay, I agree with Jo there again, and you can't make fun of the queen." I said.
"Well, you explain it then." The Doctor said turning toward us.
"I don't know. I suppose you did it." Jo said.
"I know you did something, Doctor. Considering you have a time machine, this doesn't surprise me." I said.
"Naturally or should I say scientifically. Solenoids and a solar mechanism in Bessie and-" He took a box out of his pocket. "A radio control unit here. You see how easy it is to be a magician?"
"How infuriating can you get." Jo said.
"Oh honey, you haven't seen the worst of it." I said. The Doctor gave me a look. "Hey, I will eventually see every regeneration. You're all different."
"Wait, how many times have you seen this face?" He asked suddenly getting very interested in our adventures.
"This is actually the first time I've seen this face. It's the third adventure I've been on." I laughed. "That's really ironic."
"You're still very new at this then. This is Yates by the way. I know he's met you. Well, a much older you." I was right! "This is also Jo, which you seem to recognize. You always know my companions before I do." There was silence.
"Okay back to your car, it doesn't prove anything."
"Would you like me to show you some more then?"
"No thanks, I've had enough of your knavish tricks. I don't know how Kate does it sometimes."
"I zone out a lot." The Doctor gives me another look.
"Anyway, I want to see that TV program. Mike, would you give me a life?" Jo asked turning to Yates.
"Sure." He said.
"Oh, I want to go!" I said.
"You can go to." Yates said.
"You coming, Doctor?" I asked. He looked a little sad.
"Coming where?" He asked.
"Well, to see that program." Yates stated.
"Oh, not you too, Captain Yates? First my companion, then my wife, and now you."
"Oh, I wouldn't miss it for the world. Very exciting. Forecasts of doom and disaster if anyone disturbs the burial chamber."
"That sounds fun." The Doctor shook his head.
"Captain Yates, you astound me."
"Well, you never know. Devil's End has a funny reputation."
"What did you say?" The Doctor asked getting suddenly interested.
"Devil's End. The village near the dig."
"Devil's End? Devil's End?" The Doctor said looking at me like I'm supposed to know something. I just shrugged. I had no idea what I was in for.
"Doctor, are you all right?" I asked.
"Yes. Yes, I'm fine." We went out into the yard, and I was surprised the Doctor followed us.
"Now where are you going?" Yates asked.
"To see that TV program, of course." He said grabbing my hand. He's nervous. He has a bad feeling about it. Me and the Doctor got into Bessie, while Yates and Jo got in a U.N.I.T vehicle. We drove to another U.N.I.T place which looks more homey. There were bunk beds, a table, a phone, soda machine, and a tv. There was a guy sitting and watching something on the TV.
"Has it started yet?" Jo asked.
"Shush." The guy said. I looked to the Doctor to tell me who he was.
"Benton." He whispered into my ear. I nodded. "Let's see what he has to say."
"Has remained an enigma, but tonight, the enigma will be solved." The guy just went on and on about the place. He talked about there being treasure and why it was on this exact day.
"Beltane, of course." The Doctor said like it was obvious. Then they started talking about the legends of the place. Apparently there was a curse on it. "You know, there's something dreadfully wrong here." I nodded.
"Hey, you really mean that, don't you?" Jo said getting scared.
"I don't know. Aquarius? The Devil's Hump? Beltane?" The guy kept talking. "Come on, think, think!"
"Doctor, look. Something's going on." Benton said. Then an older lady came on and tried to attack the professor guy.
"Get your hands off me, young man! Let me go!" She said.
"Okay, Harry." The interviewer said.
"I've come here to protest, and protest I shall."
"Now this is Miss Hawthorne, a prominent local resident who's very much opposed to Professor Horner's dig. Professor Horner, I believe you two have already met?"
"I'll say. The daft woman's been pestering me for weeks." The professor said.
"I've been trying to make you see reason." She said frustrated.
"Miss Hawthorne, why are you so opposed to this dig?" The interviewer asked.
"Because this man is tampering with forces he does not understand." She said pointing at the professor.
"Oh, come on now." The professor said obviously annoyed.
"You'll bring destruction on yourself and upon the whole area if you persist. Death and disaster await you. Believe me, I know."
"But that's just it. Why should we believe you and how do you know?" The interviewer asked.
"I'm a witch." I was surprised the woman said that on TV. Some people would think she's crazy and the others would try and have her killed.
"You see? I told you she was daft." The professor said.
"Miss Hawthorne, you don't really mean to say-" The interviewer said probably thinking the same thing I was.
"I tell you I'm a witch! White, of course, but that is why you should listen to me. I know!" She said.
"Well, thank you very much, Miss Hawthorne, for a most interesting-"
"I've cast the runes. I've consulted the talisman of Mercury. It's written in the stars. When Beltane is come, tread softly, for lo, the prince himself is nigh. And tonight is Beltane."
"You see? Mad as a hatter." I really didn't like this professor guy.
"The prince?" The interviewer asked slightly interested.
"The Prince of Evil, the Dark One, the Horned Beast."
"Come on, Kate, Jo." The Doctor said grabbing my hand again as he turned to leave.
"Where to?" I asked. Jo started moving as well.
"Devil's End, of course. That woman is perfectly right. We've got to stop that lunatic before it's too late." We left and got into Bessie. We made it to Devil's End by nightfall. We somehow ended up just standing on a road trying to figure out to get to where this place is. We couldn't figure out how to get there. "It's no good, we're hopelessly lost." The Doctor said. I sighed.
"I can't understand it. We followed the sign posts all right." Jo said.
"Well, if we had, we would have been there by now. You must have missed one." I knew I couldn't navigate very well, so Jo was the one who was navigating.
"I did not!" She exclaimed.
"If you look at the map the right way up, we might eventually get there. Now, which way is it?" He said trying to look at the map.
"Er, that way." She said pointing left. I sighed in my head. You always turn left.
"Thank you very much." We drove off again. We finally got to Devil's End. We decided to try and find someone at a bar to help us get to the Devil's Hump.
"Sorry, sir. Well past time." The bartender said when we walked in.
"That's quite all right. We don't want a drink, just the directions to the Devil's Hump."
"Where the dig is." Jo said.
"Ah, you're going up there are you? It's all on telly, you know." He said.
"Yes, yes, I know, but would you please tell us the way? This is very urgent." The Doctor said getting impatient. I guess some things never change.
"Always in such a hurry, you town folk. All be the same in a hundred years time, sir."
"I can assure you, sir, it will be no such thing."
"Are you one of these television chaps then?" Another guy in the bar asked.
"I am no sort of chap, sir." The Doctor said getting defensive.
"Forgive me, but I thought. Well, the costume and the wig, you know?"
"Wig?" I chuckled slightly.
"What do you want to go up the Hump for anyway?" Yet another guy asked.
"Look, there is no time for all these unnecessary questions."
"All the time in the world, sir." The first guy said.
"I want to go up to the Devil's Hump because I want to stop that lunatic Professor of yours from bringing devastation upon you all."
"Huh. One of Miss Hawthorne's brigade." That's her name! The second guy leaves after that.
"Is nobody here capable of answering a perfectly simple enquiry? What's the matter with you all?" The Doctor asked getting mad.
"You're making all the fuss, old man." Wow, this guy is pushing it.
"Fuss? I've never heard such balderdash in all-" I chuckled slightly at the weird word.
"Doctor, look, could you please tell us the way?" Jo asked.
"Yes, certainly. Straight past the green outside, fork left, straight up the rise, and you can't miss it." The third guy finally said.
"Excellent. Thank you very much." The Doctor said.
"Thank you. Goodbye." Jo said. I just nodded to the men and followed the Doctor as we left. We got into Bessie and started driving when we had to stop because there was a tree in the road blocking our way. We got out and tried to move it, but it wasn't going to move.
"It's no good, we're just wasting time. Come on, if we run, we'll just make it." I sighed. We started running. I still have to get used to the running. We made it just at midnight. "Stop! Stop that dig! Stop it!" The Doctor exclaimed as we got to the Devil's Hump. "Stop! Don't pull that stone! Don't!" He said as he tried to pull the professor away. The stone fell forward and knocked the professor down. A huge blast came out and started demolishing a lot of things outside. I swear I could hear laughing coming from somewhere. "Doctor! Are you all right?" That's when I noticed they seemed to be out cold. That was also when the roof to the tunnel started caving in. "Doctor! No! Doctor! Oh no!" Jo exclaimed as we had made our way to where the professor and the Doctor had been. Me, Jo, and the TV crew hurriedly cleared the soil from the Doctor and the professor. They were freezing cold. The Doctor didn't look like he was regenerating, so he's still alive. I sighed. I didn't want to have to deal with a regeneration this early on. Jo looked at me like I was crazy.
"Look at him! Please, hurry! Please hurry!" Jo exclaimed getting really worried.
"He's not dead, trust me." I whispered into her ear. She looked at me still frantically, but she sighed knowing I was probably right. I looked back at the Doctor, who was covered in ice. It's going to take him a while to recover from that. We took him back to the bar to bring him back, but no one believed that he was still alive.
"He's gone too." The bartender said taking one look at the Doctor.
"No. No, he can't be! Look, we must get a doctor!" Jo said trying to make the man see that the Doctor is still alive.
"Look, the Doctor is still alive, so can you just go get a doctor?" I asked getting in the man's face.
"Look, loves, face it. They've had it." He said.
"But there must be a doctor in the village or somewhere!" Jo said. I gave the man a look. The bartender sighed.
"Charlie, can I have word with you a minute?" He asked. They walked off and were gone for about fifteen minutes. I went back over to the Doctor to see if I could get some of this ice off. "Charlie'll take him down now." The bartender said coming back with Charlie. Me and Jo sighed.
"Thank you. Doctor! Doctor, please!" Jo said grabbing his hand. Charlie came over and moved him to a room in the bar. I took a seat next to the Doctor, while Jo put some blankets on him.
"He's going to be fine. He just has to." I said grabbing his hand. Jo sat on the other side of the Doctor.
"You seem so confident." She said.
"Well, there's one thing that would indicate that he's dying, and he's not doing it. He can't be completely dead. He just can't be." I said. The human doctor came in and started checking the Doctor over. He straightened back up and looked straight at me.
"Too late, I'm afraid. He's gone, just like the Professor." My heart stopped. Was I supposed to do something that I didn't do? Am I never going to see the Doctor again. Am I only going to have the two adventures we had. Did I mess up time and space? I was afraid of talking in fear of falling apart.
"No. No, he can't be dead." Jo said. She got out what I couldn't.
"I'm sorry." He said putting a hand on my shoulder. I couldn't look at the man.
"Oh, please, you must do something!" Jo said.
"I can't work miracles, you know. He's very nearly a solid block of ice."
"Oh, there, there. I'm sorry, my dears, there's nothing we can do."
To Be Continued…
Well there you go! This chapter was actually going to be longer, but I decided to cut it down BIG time. This episode might have three parts to it instead of two. Anyways, that's all I got to say! Bye, guys!
