The second-to-last chapter. Enjoy.
Within the TARDIS, the Doctor had allowed the Captain to contact his team, the team he had recreated in the Doctor's honour after the fall of Torchwood 1.
Sitting on the chair, the Doctor ran his hands through his hair, it sticking wildly and on edge as he contemplated a way to free his companions. His mind was stuck, the image of his mate Donna Noble as her limp body fell over the edge of the cliff in the rampaging sea.
Jackie, Mickey and Rose were whispering, each of them glancing at the Doctor as he figured out a resolution. After being urged on by her mother and her ex, Rose moved to the Doctor, sitting by him on the chair.
"Doctor… I may have a way of breaking through the dead lock seal," Rose said, freeing his hand from his hair and taking it in her own.
"I… what is it?"
Nodding to Mickey, who headed off to the door that led to the other rooms, Rose stood and pulled him to his feet, before leading him after Mickey's path.
Entering the room that once was, and is still a museum to her, Rose's room, they found Mickey cracking open a crate that held six guns.
"In our Torchwood, I had them develop these… after the Battle of Canary Wharf… even though there are no Daleks in that universe. Do you think they might help?"
"We just might get through," the Doctor cheered, grabbing two of them as the Mickey and Rose each grabbed one.
Returning to the console room, the Doctor tossed Jack the extra weapon.
"C'mon Jack, we're getting Martha out!" she cheered, running for the door and exiting out, Jack, Rose, Jackie and Mickey following quickly behind.
They returned to the doorway with Dalek technology. The four with weapons aimed at the metal door, and fired. The titanium screeched and buckled as the door flew backwards, crashing into a solid wall and rocking metal shavings to the ground.
"Ha, it worked!" Jack cheered, sliding the weapon over his shoulder. The Doctor handed him his weapon and withdrew his sonic screwdriver, using it on the second door, which didn't refuse to open. The door rolled open and the Doctor and his companions stormed in.
Martha gasped as her bonds became loose and she was able to stand once more. Ripping the IV tubes from her arms and head, Martha sighed roared victoriously as she aided Sarah Jane from her front to a more comfortable position, as her own chains fell from her arms.
Swirling to the door, Martha eyes widened in relief as the Doctor ran into her arms and hugged her tight as she jubilantly cheered.
"Doctor!"
Once relieved that she was still alive, the Doctor realised her to check Sarah Jane, only for Captain Jack to quickly take his spot.
"Oh no, Sarah Jane, what have they done to you?" he whispered, using his screwdriver to scan her life signs.
Martha was being introduced to the family Tyler, and was grateful to finally be meeting the blessed Rose Tyler.
"He finally found you," she said, smiling over her shoulder at her Doctor.
"I found him," Rose smiled, watching the Doctor for a moment before joining him. "How is she?" she asked, taking Sarah Jane's hand.
"She's just dehydrated and exhausted. Some bed rest and she'll be fine. Jack, Mickey, could you come and carry her back to the Tardis please?" The Doctor asked, getting to his feet and moving to Martha.
"Do you mind if I…?" He asked, holding out his screwdriver to explain what he was saying.
"I wanna know what has happened to me… what their chemicals have done to me… because, Doctor, I feel… different."
As Jack and Mickey and Jacqui filled out of the room, leaving Rose and the Doctor with Martha, the Doctor began his examination of Martha. The results he was finding were not good.
"I'm so sorry, Martha, but this… whatever the Daleks have done to you, it's changed your biological matter. They've physically changed what it means to be human, with you as their lab rat."
"But what have they changed me into?" She asked, aghast, as she gripped her stomach.
"Dalek. Or at least, part Dalek."
"But, Doctor, I've seen Daleks here, it's not just Dalek Caan anymore. So why do they need to change humanity?"
"What do you mean, other Daleks?" The Doctor questioned, his mouth open.
"There was one, in a Dalek case from the bottom, but from the waist up, he looked human, except for his missing eyes and arm. He… he spoke as if he was in control of the Daleks."
"No… It can't be! It… it just can't be!" The Doctor said, running his hand across his face, his eyes in some far off daze. He groaned in frustration before kicking at the ground.
"Of course he could do it; he was the greatest genius on Skaro. From everything that I've seen here, it could be him. It has to be. But he died, I saw it happen!" The Doctor rambled, throwing himself into action as he ran to the Tardis.
Once inside, he began flipping switches and sitting Martha on the chair, he took a blood sample and ran it through a system check within the console.
"What does it say, Doctor?" Martha asked, her face etched with worry.
"I was wrong. It isn't making you part Dalek, it's making you part Kaled."
"Kaled? Wha's that?"
"It's what Daleks were before the last Kaled experimented and mutated them into Dalek, voiding them all of emotion, except the emotion to hate. He encased them a Dalekenium shield."
"So he's, wha'? Turning Martha here into a Kaled so he can change her into a Dalek?" Rose asked, trying to grasp an understanding.
Jumping from a realisation, he flipped another switch and the Tardis boomed to life, "And that's why he's working with the Sontarans! It's a win-win situation for both of them! And that's how we can take 'em down!"
"I think a meeting is in order first, Doctor. We've got so much to catch up on. How did it feel, destroying your entire race?" The voice crackled, the monitor in the Tardis coming to life. Fiddling with a knob, the picture cleared and a withered face appeared on screen, his metallic week clacking as he thrummed out a beat on the counter before him.
Martha stiffened in fear, throwing furtive glances at the Doctor's other companions as she joined the Doctor's side.
"That's him, Doctor!" she breathed in fear.
"You're voice has changed, Doctor, yet the arrogance is still present. Even in the years that have passed between our last meeting, we've changed in our actions, yet we still want the same things. We are each other's balances, Doctor. And now you have my test subject. Miss Jones has been quiet agreeable."
"You had her under lock and key, of course she will cooperate. And, with everything we've gone through; everything we've seen, everything we've done, I have just one thing to say to you: Watch. Out." The Doctor threw a switch, which rocked the Tardis out of its position, ceasing the visual link.
With a thundering boom, the Tardis landed at its final point.
"Here we go," The Doctor said, Jack laughing at his determination.
"Saving the world!" Rose, Martha and Jack said at the same time, laughing at their unison.
