Kingdom Hearts: Rage of Maximus
Chapter 10: Attack of the Strogg
Radiant Castle, Castle Interiors, Hangers
Rydia ignored the shouts of her fellow comrades as she filled up her Gummi Ship with all of her belongings; she had cleared her room and had left a sign of resignation on the Emperor's desk.
"This is madness Rydia, you would become an enemy of the Empire for the sake of that one boy?" said her friend Cecil, next to him was her other friends Cloud and Logan.
"This is what she wants to do, I'am sure Rydia knows of the consequences of her actions" said Cloud emotionlessly as Logan extended the claws from his wrists.
"Yeah she's decided fuck em! You're going against the rules Rydia, what happens when Mateus sends someone like Wesker or Exdeath after you, your Mist magic won't save you then!" he warned as she rolled her eyes.
"As long as Max can learn the final lesson I have prepared for him, then nothing else matters. Not the Empire, not the Schism, not even Reno" she said as Cecil and Logan looked hopelessly.
"Look Rydia, Max is a nice kid but quite frankly he isn't worth the trouble, please I beg you to reconsider" said Cecil as Rydia turned to glare at him.
"Exactly! That's exactly what I mean, you all think Max is a weakling and he's not, you don't know what he's capable of but I do, and I've seen it!" she shouted as the others backed off slightly.
"There's nothing you can do to stop me now, I've made my decision, I'm going to find him and teach him how to use Trance" she said as the others exchanged horrified glances.
"But that's impossible, it take years to master that skill and he's just a kid and besides he doesn't have what it takes to reach that level of power, he can barely fight for himself" said Logan as Cecil and Cloud nodded in agreement.
Rydia ignored them and threw the last of her things inside, "Well that's everything, take care you three. Give Reno my love when you see him and watch out for yourselves and go easy on me when you're eventually forced to hunt me down" she said with a smile as she hugged Cecil.
"Not a chance" said Logan with an amused grin as she hugged her, Cloud merely nodded to her and walked off silently, holding the handle of his Buster Sword as Cecil and Logan shook their heads.
"Please don't leave us with him, all this business he has with Sephiroth is really getting out of hand. I'm pretty sure one day those two are going to snap and just rip each other throats out, that and Wesker's suspicious antics recently have put me on edge, maybe I should take my own leave" said Cecil nervously as Logan checked over both of his shoulders.
"Guard your tongue man, Mateus has eyes and ears everywhere" said Logan cautiously as Rydia smiled to herself before turning away from her friends and getting into her own Gummi Ship, Bahamut, and flying off into the cold reaches of space, Logan and Cecil watched silently before exchanging worried glances.
"I wonder how Reno's going to react?" said Logan as they left the hanger, Cecil scoffed.
"I doubt he even remembers that they even were friends, he been acting very strange these last few days. I walked in on him taking a shit ton of LSD, he must be going completely mad with those two monsters that he's teamed up with" said Cecil as Logan nodded in agreement.
"Yeah those guys are fucked up, I'm pretty sure they've got Reno hooked up to some kind of drug, it would explain his erratic behaviour" he said as the kept walking down the dark corridors, which to them only seemed to get darker with every step.

Krakatoa
Slogra sat with a bored expression on his face as Gaibon played chess with the green slug like creature that was sitting in front of him; he had a human like face and a pair of arms with a stinger at the end of his tail.
Every time he laughed it sounded like someone flicking their tongue rapidly, it put him on edge and it didn't help that Reno was "entertaining" himself with several of the maids in the hotel they were staying in.
"Bitch, don't you fucking look at me, take it like the fucking whore you are!" he shouted as Slogra heard screams of pain from the other room.
He was on top of a young girl with purple hair who was screaming in agony as he thrusted into her violently, he was like a possessed animal as another woman tried in vain to pull him off, beside her was another girl who was slammed against the wall and bleeding.
"Please stop it, she's only fifteen for god's sake!" shouted of the women as the other girl kept screaming in pain, he glared up at her and grabbed her roughly by the throat.
"Don't fucking tell me what to do you useless cunt whore, now get down on your hands and knees and beg for it you little slut!" he shouted as Slogra rolled his eyes while the slug creature laughed to himself.
"These human creatures certainly are a violent and disgusting lot, wouldn't you agree Slogra?" he said in a synthetic voice coming out of the modulator on his chest.
"It's disgusting Sil but it keeps him quiet so I'm not complaining, check mate" he said motioning for Gaibon to make his move, Sil hissed in frustration as he saw that he'd lost the game.
"Damn you in carnet Slogra!" he shrieked as Slogra slammed his spear down on the board breaking it in half, Sil backed off in fear as Slogra laughed to himself.
"Now that I've won the game Sil you are going to tell me what I need to know" he said with a sneer as Gaibon grabbed Sil's head in his claws as one of the girls next door screamed loudly.
"Shut her up Reno!" shouted Slogra as there were sounds of commotion in the other room, there were several more screams and then silence.
Slogra sighed as he turned round back to Sil, "Anyway, what do you have on the Schism?" he said as Sil grinned and started drinking out of a wine glass containing a green liquid.
"Well from what I've heard from my accomplices in the Space Trading Company is that the Schism' ship was tracked to the planet of Androzani Minor where there is currently a civil war going on between three different parties, the Strogg, SOLDIER and an army of androids led by the business man Sharaz Jek" said Sil as Slogra nodded before turning to Gaibon and motioning for him to follow him.
Gaibon released Sil's head as Slogra stood up and smirked at Sil, "Well it's been nice doing business with you Sil but we must be off to Androzani Minor to kill some Schism scum, come Reno! Reno?" he said as he turned round, he hadn't heard any noise from Reno's room for some time.
When he didn't hear a response he walked forward and pushed the door opened, he stared in disgust at what he saw. The two girls that Reno had been using to pleasure himself were dead, they had been cut open with their guts being displayed like some sick piece of art all over the walls, and he was drenched in blood and was staring up at the ceiling with a bored expression.
"They didn't bleed hard enough" he said as Slogra looked at him in disgust, he had seen many horrific things in his time but this was definitely one of the worst.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? I'll ask you again Reno what the fuck is wrong with you?!" shouted Slogra as Reno turned to him and pointed his stun rod towards Slogra.
"I want her" he said quickly as he ignored Slogra's question, Slogra sighed in frustration.
"What the fuck are you talking about? God dammit Reno I told you to keep yourself busy not have a fucking massacre! What the hell did that stuff Wesker inject you with do to you?!" he shouted as Reno looked down to the ground with a disturbing grin on his face.
"Aht! Her pussy will be so warm and tight and Maximus will end himself if I do it, his best friend fucking his companion till she bleeds to death!" he shouted maniacally as Slogra walked forward and jammed his spear into Reno's head, rendering him unconscious.
"What the fuck is up with him?" said Gaibon as he wandered in with Sil following, Slogra checked Reno's eyes, they were heavily bloodshot.
"Wesker injected him with some kind of drug, messes with the brain and basically turns you into a nut case but I think he might have overdosed, don't get me wrong in another situation this would be my kind of thing but not right now" he said as he picked up Reno and threw him onto his shoulder.
"Well we shall be off now Sil, thank you once again for your assistance. Not a word of this to anybody, otherwise it'll be you Reno uses to entertain himself" said Slogra with a grin as Sil looked at him terrified.
"My lips are sealed my friend" he said with a snivelling cackle as Slogra and Gaibon left the building, "Oi! New girl get in here and clean up this mess now!" he shouted as a girl with blue hair entered.
"Actually it's Levy sir" she said nervously as Sil snarled at her and slithered away.
"Does it look like I give a fuck what your name is filthy human? Just get this mess cleaned up and then help to prepare dinner for tonight, I have a meeting with some very profitable Decepticon's" he said with a grin as he left.
Levy looked round at the two bodies of her former friends, she had seen much death and murder like this before many time but she couldn't help but start crying as she pulled out a mop, "Oh Max, please help me" she whispered thinking of her long dead brother with a broken expression as she cleaned up Reno's mess.

Sharaz Jek's Base
Maximus paced up and down the room with his hands behind his back, he was breathing heavily as if it was taking every force imaginable for him not to suddenly start shouting, the Doctor, Peri and Aht all watched him concerned as he kept pacing.
"Look Max, I know you're upset but we need to think of a plan first before we try anything" said the Doctor as Jek walked in.
"You will not be planning anything, now please wait for a while. Some urgent business has come up and I must attend to it immediately" he said as Maximus sat down next to Aht and glared at him.
"Please wait for me my child, I shall return shortly" he said to Peri, stroking her hair as he looked to one of the androids.
"Keep watch on them at all times and if either the Doctor or Maximus try to leave then have them shot at once, there are dispensable but Aht and Peri are not" he said before walking out leaving a glaring Maximus.
"Well I can see he holds us in such high regard" the Doctor said sarcastically as he stood up and walked to the doorway, Simeon stared at him fearfully as the Doctor leaned out slightly, the android shot at him and he quickly backed off.
"Don't bother trying to escape that android is programmed to kill humans on sight, we're stuck here until Jek comes back but hopefully you'll all be dead by then" he said with a sneer as Maximus chuckled lightly and then grabbed him the shirt and pushed him forward so that he was in near sight of the android, Simeon cried out in fear as he was quickly pulled back before the android could kill him.
"Repeat that again and I won't pull back, do you understand me!" shouted Maximus as his eyes went yellow and reptile like, Simeon nodded frantically as Peri looked at Maximus in fear, the Doctor placed his hand on Maximus' shoulder and guided him away from Simeon.
"Max listen I'm understand you're upset but you need to calm down, if you lose yourself then who will look after Aht?" he said harshly as Maximus' eyes reverted to normal, he nodded and then turned back to Simeon.
"Sorry, you said that android is programmed to kill humans only?" he said as Simeon nodded, Maximus grinned and walked forward, "Well if it doesn't work I'll just regenerate anyway, so it's worth a shot" he said as the Doctor and Peri protested.
He casually stepped outside as the android aimed at him, "Look at me I'm a target!" he shouted as the android pointed its weapon but did not fire, he grinned and walked over to it, he grabbed the face plate and ripped it off before jamming his hand inside and pulling out several wires, the android collapsed to the ground as he picked it up and carried it into the room.
"There we go, one debunked android" he said as he dumped it on the table, the Doctor, Peri and Aht beamed at him while Simeon looked at him in shock before darting out of the room and off into the caves.
"Well off he goes" said Aht as Maximus ripped open the androids chest unit and looked inside, he started fiddling and pulling at different wires, he then walked over to a nearby box and pulled out several tools.
"What are you doing?" said Peri as he pulled out several wires and slotted them in different orders; Maximus grinned as he closed the chest unit and placed the mask back on.
"Just as I suspected, Jek used the same basic model that Dr Gero used to build his own androids and they have an incredibly easy motherboard to overwrite; now all of his androids have one basic instruction. Self-destruction, I've rewritten the code for just over fifteen minutes, we need to get the cure from the queen bat and escape here alive while the androids cause pandemonium" he said with a grin as the android stood up and left the room.
"But Max, what about Eleanor?" said Aht as Maximus looked to the Doctor.
"I'll deal with that problem but someone will have to go into the inner caves to get the bats milk" he said as the Doctor nodded.
"Don't worry I can hold my breath for a very long time, I'll get the bats milk, Aht and Peri you come with me. Max you set up the trap and then we can all escape together" he said with a grin as Max nodded.
He was about to leave when Aht grabbed his hand, "Max, please be careful" she said as he nodded and ruffled her hair.
"Hang in there a little longer ok? We'll get out of this I promise" he said gently as she nodded and he ran off with the androids following him.
The Doctor, Peri and Aht went the other way, they could see a path leading down into the caves but there was no light. The Doctor pulled a torch from his pocket as they heard growling and shrieking noises, he gulped but put on a brave face to the others.
"Come on" he said nervously as the two girls walked after him.
Inner Caves, Nerva Beacon
"The Nerva Beacon, I wasn't aware it was still working" said Jek as he inspected the device; it was a type of transmitter that had supposedly been unoperational for some time.
There was a screen of static but the picture was becoming more and more clear, "Sharaz Jek? Sharaz Jek can you read me?" came a voice as Jek started pressing several buttons, the screen became clear.
"Well, well if it isn't the great Dr Gero and what do I owe the pleasure of this meeting?" he said surprised as Gero grinned at him.
"The Empire has lowered the shields surrounding Androzani Minor, no need to panic though. I'am sending my most recent model of Android to dispatch of the Strogg leader and the survivors of SOLDIER" he said as Jek looked unimpressed.
"I see, so you are helping me is that it? I trust you know that this changes nothing in my terms, I need more munny and until it is safe in my account, your precious Emperor won't have his spectrox" said Jek as Gero scoffed.
"Quite frankly I don't care about you or the Emperor I just want to test out my latest Android model, whether or not you survive is of no concern to me. You can stay there in your tomb or you can surrender and give that oaf what he wants, either way I don't care. The Android will destroy everything in those caves and the spectrox will be ours" he said as Jek folded his arms.
"Did I forget to mention I have a renegade Schism currently in my domain" said Jek with a sly grin as Gero looked interested.
"Maximus? I had heard he was destroyed?" said Gero as Jek chuckled darkly.
"I'm afraid not, he is currently my prisoner. I would imagine the Empire would pay me in high regard if I brought him in?" he said as Gero frowned but nodded.
"Very well Jek, I've changed my mind. I'll instruct the Android to stay on standby until you have given confirmation that Maximus is ready to be transported" he said as the screen was shut off, Jek laughed to himself as he stepped away and started heading back to his lair.
"What do you know that boy turned out to be of use after all and his lovely companion will provide some excellent entertainment alongside Peri I'll quietly dispose of the Doctor and then I shall have the money, the spectrox and everything else. I need more days like this" he said with a sly grin as he walked down to his lair.
When he arrived though he looked around in confusion, he couldn't see any of his androids anywhere; he narrowed his eyes as he walked inside.
"Doctor, Maximus, Peri, Aht?" he said slowly as he walked around, then he saw a note with a crudely drawn smiley face on it which read.
Gone off for a wonder, should really fix up those android specs, btw I've taken control of your androids and I'm on my way to Makron with them to tell him to attack you, take care and have a nice day Maximus.
P.S You're a raging creep, get a girlfriend!
He growled and roared in frustration as he tore the note down and ripped it to pieces, "I'll rip him apart with my bare hands!" he growled as he grabbed a pair of sub machine guns and holstered them on to his back as he started running through the caves.
Inner Caves
"Peri, Aht you two had better stay here, the oxygen levels down here are very low. I won't be long" said the Doctor as he pulled out a test tube and slowly started walking into the cavern.
Peri and Aht both nodded weakly as they sat down, "Well I suppose we'll just to find some way of entertaining ourselves for a while aye Aht? Aht?!" said Peri in alarm as she saw the girl had collapsed, she too felt very weak and it took nearly all of her strength just to pick the young girl up and rest her on her legs.
"Oh come on now Aht just hang in there for a little while longer, Max and the Doctor will get us out of here I just know they will" she said as Aht moaned in pain.
"But why?" she said weakly as Peri shook her head in confusion.
"Why? What do you mean why? There our friends, didn't you say Max and you travelled together?" she said as Aht laughed lightly.
"He only has me aboard because he feels pity for me, I'm not really his friend, I've only know him for a day if that" she said as Peri gave a small laugh.
"So what? Aht Max isn't trying to save you because of pity or repaying some kind of debt, he's doing it because he honestly cares about you. Look at me and the Doctor I've barely known him and he's risking his life to save me, they both are and do you want to know why? Because in their minds it's the right thing to do" she said with a smile as she heard a gun being cocked.
"Oh how sentimental, I'm literally crying" came the sarcastic voice of Tseng as he and several other soldiers, including Simeon, pointed their weapons at them.
Peri cautiously raised her hands as Tseng motioned for her to move, "Where's Maximus and the Doctor?" he snapped as she gulped.
"Maximus has gone to the Strogg and the Doctor is…."
"Right here Peri! Ah Commander Tseng so glad you could make it, we all just in time to get out of here" came the voice of the Doctor as he appeared behind him, his face was bleeding and he looked like he had just ran a full marathon.
"Oh my god Doctor what happened?" said Peri as he continued to breathe deeply, Tseng eyed him suspiciously before motioning for one of the soldiers to cuff them, before the soldier could react something jumped out of the darkness and grabbed him.
It was human like with pointed ears and no visible eyes, it had shark like teeth which it used to bite down and rip the man's throat out as the Doctor picked up Aht and shouted for Peri to run as the guards opened fire at the creature.
It shrieked in pain as the bullets tore through it only for them to hear several more through the cave as more of the creatures appeared, one of them leapt forward and grabbed another soldier as Tseng and Simeon ran off after the Doctor and Peri.
The Simeon turned round and shot at the creatures as they crawled towards them, Tseng whirled round and shot him in the leg and he collapsed to the ground screaming in agony as he looked up at Tseng horrified.
Tseng grinned darkly as the creatures leapt onto Simeon and proceeded to rip him to pieces, "Only the strongest survive" he muttered as he ran out of the entrance only to be met with more creatures, they charged toward him as he shot at them screaming in vain.
Strogg Base
Maximus quietly and quickly sneaked his way into the Strogg base using the stalagmites for cover as several soldiers walked past, he could hear a lot of commotion and many of them were moving into the cave, he had ran past a shootout between several SOLDIER grunts and some Strogg, he was about to move closer when he felt a tiny lump grab his leg.
"Max it's you, I'm so glad you're safe!" shouted Eleanor as he stuck his finger on his lips and motioned for her to be quiet, she nodded as he quickly checked to see if anyone had heard, thankfully they hadn't, he grabbed her and quickly stuck her in his hood.
He walked backwards only to feel a gun pressed against his back, "That's far enough Maximus" he heard Jek whisper as he gulped nervously, he slowly turned round as Jek aimed his gun at Maximus face.
"You're coming with me" he snarled as Maximus nodded and moved as Jek held him at gunpoint, he cautiously pressed on a small button on the device on his wrist, several of Jek's androids appeared and Jek grinned when he saw them.
"Ahh, now then I was wondering where you had gotten too" said Jek as he heard the sounds of two Strogg shouting to each other, he whirled round and shot both of them, the Strogg heard the gunshots and fired out at him forcing him and Maximus to take cover, the androids remained motionless as the Strogg fired at them.
"Work you useless machines!" shouted Jek as he leaned out and shot several Strogg, at that moment at least a dozen SOLDIER troops entered the room and started firing at the Strogg, "Excellent, we can get out while they kill each other" he said as Maximus reached over and grabbed his gun.
"Not today thank you" said Maximus as he flipped Jek over so that he landed on his back before pressing another button, the two androids exploded sending both SOLDIER and Strogg forces flying as more of the androids exploded all around the caves, Maximus darted away with Eleanor as Jek screamed his name as he was hit by one off the blasts.
The cave creatures swarmed in mass around both the SOLDIER camp and Jek's base, the real Simeon screamed in horror when he met one and it quickly ran forward and tore his throat out with its bare hands.
The Doctor kept running with Peri and carrying Aht before they felt the tremors, Peri fell and hit her head on a nearby rock causing her to pass out, the Doctor picked her up bridal style with Aht over his shoulder as he kept running, and it was taking every ounce of his strength to prevent himself for collapsing.
A bloodied and batter Tseng came into view as he saw the Doctor climbing up a nearby path that led to the surface and aimed at him, his face was clawed and he was missing several of his fingers.
"If you die then we all die!" shouted Tseng as he opened fire, then he felt a pair of boots connect with his chest as Maximus appeared and drop kicked him sending him flying to the floor.
The Doctor lost his balance and the tube of antidote fell out of his pocket, Maximus ran and caught it but didn't notice some of it had spilled out, "Got it?" shouted the Doctor as Maximus nodded and climbed up after him.
"Wait you can't leave me here!" shouted Tseng in panic as several of the cave creatures appeared behind him, Maximus turned to him and gave him a dark look.
"Didn't you always say war was unfair? Goodbye Tseng it hasn't been pleasant" he said before turning his back and climbing up after the Doctor, he could hear the sound of Tseng's screams as he was dragged away by the creatures.
In the remains of the Strogg base Jek and Makron had their guns pointed to each other; Jek's mask had come off revealing his horrifically scarred face. The left side of his face was melted looking and deformed with his eye hanging out loosely.
"You're going to pay for what you've done to me" Jek snarled, he had been shot several times and had pieces of shrapnel embedded in his chest but he didn't care, all he was focusing on was the creature in front of him, the other Strogg were dead or trying in vain to fight off the cave monsters, the lights were going out as the power failed all throughout the facility.
"I have no idea what you're talking about you freak show" snarled Makron as Jek roared in what sounded like both pain and anger.
"We we're friends, business partners! Then you left me out when a mud burst happened and did this to me! I'll kill you Makron!" he shouted as he opened fire on the Strogg leader, Makron blocked with his arms and swatted Jek aside.
Overhead the two of them could hear what sounded like a ship landing on the planet, "Sounds like my ride home has arrives, be seeing ya friend" said Makron sarcastically as he shot Jek in abdomen, Jek collapsed to the ground.
"Maria, please hold me" Jek whimpered as Makron shot up at the roof, the ceiling collapsed and daylight shined through into the caves.
"Let there be light they always said, I'll be back for that spectrox soon Jek!" shouted Makron as he flew up through the hole and out of sight, Jek remained silent as a pair of the cave creatures grabbed him and started biting and ripping away at him.
The Plains of Androzani
Maximus ran as fast as he could after the Doctor, he was heading to what looked like a blue box but he wasn't questioning it, the ground was exploding behind him as bursts of hot mud shot out from the ground, he could still hear the shrieks of the cave creatures.
He could see another space ship in the distance take off as he and Doctor reached the blue box, the Doctor struggled to open it as he gasped in pain, he unlocked the door and fell inside.
Maximus quickly grabbed Peri and Aht and laid them out on the floor as he looked around, the ship was bigger on the inside, and there was a large console room in the middle covered in hundreds of buttons and switches. The door closed behind him as Maximus pulled out the antidote and handed it to the Doctor.
"Aht, Peri quick you must drink this" he said as Maximus held Aht, he poured a small quantity into both of their mouths before attempting to take some for himself but to Maximus' horror it was empty.
"I'm sorry I must have spilt some" said Maximus with his face dropping to despair as the Doctor dropped the tube and collapsed the floor.
"No matter, at least there was enough for them" replied the Doctor as his breath became weaker, Peri and Aht both awoke as Maximus tried in vain to help the Doctor.
"Doctor what's happening?" said Peri in confusion as the Doctor let out a small laugh.
"Oh Peri and Aht too, I see that Curian knew his stuff. Good old Curian" he said as Peri rested his head on her legs.
"Curian? What's going on?" she said as Aht opened her eyes and looked around in confusion.
"Max what happened, where are we?" she said weakly as she snuggled against his chest, he held her tightly as he watched the Doctor; whoes breath was becoming weaker and weaker.
"Contained an antitoxin I imagine" he said as Peri looked around in vain.
"Well where is it?" she said desperately as the Doctor frowned.
"What?" he said confused
"The bat's milk!" she shouted as he looked up at her.
"Gone, only enough for you and Aht" he said as his face became pale, Peri shared a hopeless look with Maximus as tears rolled down her eyes, he looked regretfully at the Doctor with his own eyes getting watery.
"I'm sorry Peri it's all my fault" he whispered as the Doctor shook his head, Peri grabbed the Doctors hand.
"There has to be something we can do, tell me" she said as the Doctor smiled sadly at her.
"Too late Peri, going soon. It's time to say goodbye" he said as a golden colored energy started to flow out of him, Maximus grabbed Peri and pulled her back as she started crying.
"Please don't give up, you can't leave me" she said as the Doctor frowned and closed his eyes, he dropped his hands to the floor as more golden energy started to shoot out of him.
"I might regenerate, I don't know. Feels different this time" he said as more energy started to shoot out him, suddenly the Doctor started to hear voices in his head as his past companions flashed before his eyes.
"What is it you always told me Doctor? Brave heart?"
"You must survive. Many of your enemies would be in delight if you died Doctor"
"You're needed you mustn't die Doctor"
"You know that Doctor"
"Adric?" said the Doctor as his entire body began to glow and shoot out golden energy, it was then that Maximus could hear a dark and evil laugh from within the ship.
"No my dear Doctor you must die! Die Doctor! Die Doctor!"
The laugh continued as the light became so bright that everyone had to cover their eyes, then it ended and instead of the Doctor they all recognised was another man with short curly blonde hair, he took a deep breath as he inspected his hands before looking around.
"Doctor?" said Peri as she crawled closer to him as Maximus and Aht watched him in confusion.
"You were expecting someone else?" he said with a grin to Maximus as Peri looked lost for words.
"I…I…I don't understand" said Peri as the new Doctor rolled his eyes.
"That's three "I's" in one breath, makes you sound like a rather egotistical young lady" he said frowning as he continued to look around.
"What's happened?" said Peri as the Doctor smiled.
"Change my dear and it seems not a moment too soon"
*Cue the 80s version of the Doctor Who theme!
