Amy found herself surrounded by darkness. Her saw faint parts of the slime covered wall but that was basically it. She was bound tightly to a chair and the chair had been bolted to the floor. Amy struggled against her bindings but nothing worked and she sighed. She had lost the count of time and she could hear footsteps racing passed her locked prison occasionally, but no one coming to save her.

A few hours ago, a guard had come with her supper and just after untying Amy, she knocked him flat to the ground. Amy only got about ten feet before being tackled to the ground by brain washed guards and dragged back to the dark room.

Now Amy was completely in the dark and the bonds were so tight that Amy was sure that she'd never get her circulation back. She had dozed off more than once but was woken when a guard would open the slider to see if she was still there. A few times a female would come and get Amy to go to the bathroom but then it was right back into the chair. Amy would of course try and fight back but it only led to defeat as the guards easily pinned her down or sedation.

The door opened and Amy blinked a few times and saw two guards come in. One held Amy down by her shoulders while the other undid the bonds. Amy was then lifted and heavy metal cuffs were snapped onto her wrists behind her back and she was pushed forward. Each guard had a stun gun out just in case and a hand on Amy's shoulder as they led her to the elevator and up a few floors to floor seven.

On floor seven Amy was led through a series of plastic strips.

"Where are we?" she asked.

No one answered her and the guards pushed her forward. Amy was led to the very back of the hallway and through a thick row of plastic strips. A Cyberman moved from it's hiding place and Amy let out a short cry. She remembered that a Cyberman tried to literally take her head when her, River and the Doctor were at the Pandorica.

"Identify," the Cyberman said.

"T82KF9D," a soldier said.

"Q9EK30S," the other replied.

"And you," the Cyberman looked directly at Amy.

"Prisoner 44252," the soldier answered.

The Cyberman nodded and allowed them to pass. Amy tried to back up but the soldiers had put away their stun guns and pulled Amy along with two hands. More Cybermen started to crowd as they saw the Doctor's companion being dragged by two soldiers to their leader. Amy was finally pushed through one last plastic strip covering and she found herself in the largest room in Torchwood.

It was at least 19 by 20 and had another room beside it that looked about the same size. The second room was, no doubt, covered by plastic but strange noises came from behind.

Amy looked to see Mr. U and C8Y9QWG2 standing beside a Cyberman who was looking directly at Amy. The Cyberman was scorched, dented and extremely banged up. He was missing an arm and his left leg slanted in as it was partially melted.

"Is this her?" the Cyberman asked.

"Yes," Mr. U said, "Amelia Jessica Pond, one of the Doctor's companions."

The lead Cyberman turned to Mr. U and in a robotic voice said, "Only one? I want them both."

"The other one escaped sir," Mr. U said nervously, "But do not worry, we are on it."

"Good."

The Cyberman turned to Amy and said, "You are the Doctor's companion, is this true?"

"What of it?" Amy asked rebelliously.

"Tell us, where is the Doctor?"

Amy shook her head, "I'm not telling you anything you big bucket of bolts."

Mr. U advanced ready to strike Amy but the lead Cyberman stopped him.

"Enough, the girl will talk soon enough. Mr. U go return to opening the Void, we must free our brethren from the Void."

Amy watched as Mr. U and C8Y9QWG2 left, the Terintiorico looked back and gave Amy a quick sympathetic look before catching up to Mr. U. The lead Cyberman gave the other Cybermen orders and they left in a hurry.

"You," the lead Cyberman said pointing to Amy, "Will tell me where the Doctor's and the other companion is."

Amy shook her head, "I am never telling you anything."

"You will change your mind," – the lead Cyberman turned to the others -, "Prepare for Upgrading."

"Preparing for Upgrading," the Cybermen replied.

Amy was lead towards the other room conjoined to the one she was already in. The lead Cyberman walked behind the three as the plastic cover was parted for them and they went through.

A bright red light, almost blinded Amy as she was pulled to the side of a large metal cylinder. Noises of mechanics and other terrible crunching and cracking sounds came from within the cylinder and Amy didn't want to know what was in there.

"Become Upgraded," the lead Cyberman said, "Become one of us."

The other Cybermen repeated what their leader had said and two Cybermen came up towards Amy. The soldiers let to of Amy and allowed the other Cybermen to hold her back. Then to Amy's surprise, she watched as the two guards who had held her, go towards the cylinder and wait for commands.

"Enter."

One soldier went in and the cylinder slide closed behind him. Amy would hear whirling, snipping, and crunching followed by the soldier's piercing scream. Amy tried to break free the Cybermen holding her were way to strong for her. The screaming and the Upgrading continued until the back door of the cylinder was opened and a new Cyberman came out. The second soldier went in and Amy was forced to listen to the same thing. Whirling, snipping, crunching and then screaming.

"Stop it!" Amy screamed.

The back door opened and the other newly Upgraded Cyberman joined the others. Amy looked at the lead Cyberman who looked at her in return.

"Take her to the cell and allow her to think about her decision."

The Cybermen dragged Amy forward and away from the hell that was being created in the middle of the new Torchwood.


The Doctor, Rory and Petal Dancer had gone back to the TARDIS in the basement for the Doctor needed some supplies. Just as they reached the basement floor they were almost caught as three guards walked right passed them. The TARDIS was being loaded up onto a pick up and driven off to a containment garage. The Doctor cursed.

"Will they be able to get into the TARDIS?" Rory asked.

"No," the Doctor said, "Which I suppose is a thank goodness, but they have the TARDIS and that is definitely bad."

The Doctor led them back up the stairs and into a supply closet as more guards came down to the basement.

"Okay," the Doctor said in the closet, "No doubt now that Mr. U is definitely working with the Cybermen and that he is definitely working on opening up the Void."

"Only problem is, is where is Amy?" Rory asked.

"Working on that. Petal Dancer, are you able to phase when you are invisible?"

Petal Dancer nodded, "Takes energy though."

"Can you go to the top floor and turn off the computers that are in the control room which is halfway towards the Mr. U's office. No doubt that Mr. U had a different computer system installed for just the computers working on opening the Void in case of a blackout. But if you are able to shut that down, we will be able to have at least a few hours to come up with something."

Petal Dancer nodded and turned herself invisible. The Doctor took out his screwdriver and allowed Petal Dancer a few minutes before whizzing it around.

"It worked, she's out."

"What about us?"

The Doctor pushed past Rory and then pressed his ear again the door.

"Two are coming this way."

"Two wha…oh no Doctor."

"Do you want to find Amy or not?"

Rory sighed and then said, "Okay."

Outside two guards were passing the closet where Rory and the Doctor were hiding when a pair of hands grabbed them from behind and pulled them in. Inside, Rory knocked both guards out and the Doctor pressed his screwdriver and both fell dead. The Doctor and Rory quickly stripped and placed on the guard's uniform. Rory passed the Doctor his stun gun and then holstered his own.

"What about those ear things?" Rory asked, "The things the Cybermen use to control people."

The Doctor dug the pocket of his tweed jacket and took out two pairs of an exact replica.

"Plastic," the Doctor said, "They look like the ones that the soldier's are wearing. But on the inside is a voice receiver and speaker so that we can both communicate.

"Genius!"

"Here."

Rory placed them in his ears and turned them on.

"Ready?" the Doctor asked.

Rory could hear the Doctor in front of him and the Doctor's voice right in his left ear.

"Yeah."

"Good, let's go."
