I know this is quite a short chapter, but the next one will be much longer :) Happy reading and, oh yeah, please review!
Disclaimer: I am Russel T Davies and I own Doctor Who. What? I'm not Russel T Davies? Oh ok, I guess I don't own Doctor Who then. Damn.

Suddenly the Daleks circling the TARDIS stopped. The sound of the guns stopped, as did the banging on the door behind the Doctor and Jack. They looked at each other in surprise.
"The Doctor's increased heart beat and adrenaline suggests he is emotionally attached to the human female," the black Dalek said. It elevated higher, and looked at the security camera, straight at the Doctor and Jack. "The Doctor will tell the female to exit the TARDIS or she will die!" the Doctor watched the screen nervously, and Jack watched him. After a few seconds, he reached into his pocket and pulled his phone out.

Rose slowly opened her eyes, and released her grip from the chair. She looked around, wide-eyed, amazed that she was still alive. The Daleks had found her and were about to kill her… so why had they stopped?
She almost fell off the chair when her phone suddenly started ringing. She pulled it out of her pocket, pressed a button and held it to her ear.
"Rose!" came the Doctor's relieved voice down the phone. "Are you ok?"
"Only just!" she gasped, sitting back on the seat. "Where are you?"
"Doesn't matter, listen, you need to go outside the TARDIS."
"What!? Are you crazy? I'll get killed!"
"You're more likely to get killed if you don't, trust me," she looked up at the door, getting increasingly nervous by the second.
"Ok," she said quietly, standing up and heading for the door.
"Stay on the phone," the Doctor said, as she walked across the room. Gingerly, she put her hand on the handle and opened the door.

The Doctor held his breath as he watched Rose step out of the TARDIS.
"Oh my God…" she whispered, as she looked out on the rows of Daleks in front of her.
"You will tell us the Time Lords' plans, or the female will be exterminated!" said the black Dalek. The Doctor squeezed the phone nervously.
"I don't know their plans," he said eventually, "I was exiled for previous crimes, they left me on that planet and disabled my TARDIS. I don't know what they're planning," he paused as he waited for the Dalek's answer. By now the Daleks had connected the phone signals to the speakers in the ship, so his voice was heard by all Daleks. "They forced me to regenerate," he added. The Daleks seemed to reluctantly believe this, but it made sense.
"Who are the humans?" the Dalek asked.
"Oh… these two? They're a couple of friends of mine, in fact I brought them to the war accidentally and the Time Lords found out and that's why they exiled me, since a Time Lord isn't meant to travel with another species. So, yeah. Can't help you! Sorry," they could almost sense the Dalek's disappointment.
"Then you will be exterminated!" there was an explosion behind the Doctor and Jack and they spun around to see Daleks flooding into the room. They watched with wide eyes as the Daleks flew towards them.
"Run!" the Doctor shouted, throwing himself towards the side of the room. Jack ran after him, as the Doctor skidded on the floor towards a grating in the corner of the room, like the one they went down before. He pointed the sonic screwdriver at it and pulled the grating off, throwing it away. Then he jumped down the hole, and Jack jumped after him. As they fell, they heard yells of 'exterminate!' behind them, echoing down the hole.
Then came shot after shot as the Daleks shot down the hole trying to get them. The Doctor instinctively curled into a ball as each laser hit Jack instead of him. He looked down the hole, daring to move his hands from his face, at the light that was rapidly heading towards him.

"The Doctor has escaped," one of the Daleks informed the black Dalek.
"He must be located and exterminated," the Dalek turned to Rose, who was standing outside the TARDIS shaking. "Exterminate the female," it said, before elevating away. The Daleks turned to face Rose, and began gliding towards her.

The Doctor landed awkwardly on the ground, no pile of wires to break his fall this time. He groaned as he began to sit up, only to have Jack crash on him a second later.
Jack's body rolled off, leaving a flattened Doctor on the floor. He groaned again as he forced his eyes opened, and tried to focus on the grey blurs around him. He vaguely heard a sudden gasp of breath somewhere next to him.
Next thing he knew there was a Jack shaped blur over him, and a Jack sounding voice saying his name repeatedly.
"Muh?" he groaned.
"Doctor, snap out of it! Sit up! Do something!" he instantly did as he was told, and threw his body upwards. The world swam around his head for a second, then settled down again.
"You're bloody heavy," he moaned as he tried to get to his feet. They spun round as the door behind them started to open, and the Doctor snapped back to reality. He looked around the room quickly. "Ha!" he exclaimed, pulling Jack into one of the many small cubicles that were covering the walls of the room, "Teleport! Brilliant!" he held the sonic screwdriver against the control panel, and the world melted away from them just as the Daleks burst into the room.

The world suddenly melted into view again for the Doctor and Jack, except this time they were in the room with the TARDIS, surrounded by Daleks yelling various things, mostly along the lines of 'exterminate the doctor'. They both started running towards the TARDIS, as Daleks started to shoot at them. The Doctor skidded to the front of the TARDIS, but stopped almost instantly.
"Doctor!" Rose screamed, as she tried to run to him from the Daleks that were surrounding her.
"Rose!" he yelled back, breaking out into a run again, reaching his hand out towards her.
"Exterminate!" the cold metallic voice echoed through the Doctor's head as the laser bolt hit Rose, and her body slumped to the floor.
