Chapter 13: The Vault

Ahsoka woke up in a dark room, this seamed to to be the regular thing for her nowadays, Looking back on it, she then vowed to never trust Missy again, or let her guard down. She reached for her Lightsabers but then released they were not there. Missy had taken them away and left them somewhere.

"OK" Ahsoka said "come on Ahsoka, it's just a dark empty room" she then stood up and said "you can do this" she then walked around blindly for a few minutes until she found a light switch, or rather what felt like a light switch. She then flicked the switch on and after a few seconds or so. The light came on, revealing that she was not in a dark, empty room at all, more like out of the frying pan and into the frier.

"Oh scrap" Ahsoka said quitely as the lights switched onto to reveal tombs full of what looked like entrapped Cybermen "OK I could really use my lightsaber's about now" Ahsoka said quietly to herself. She then found what looked like a weapon and picked it up and then walked across the room full of entombed Cybermen. Unaware that several alive Cybermen were following her

As Alex was walking with Missy the one thought he had on his mind wasn't really a thought at all, it was more of a question and the question was more or so like this, just who the hell was Missy and how in the hell were they two of a kind?

"You say two of a kind?" Alex said as Missy was walking forward "as in?" when Alex asked this question Missy was about halfway through humming to herself, which really annoyed her.

"Part of the same race?" Missy said turning and smiling "of course we are dear" she then turned back and said "now come on we'll be late for your girlfriend"

"Part of the same race?" Alex said curious "what race are we?"

"Me" Missy said smiling "I am a Time Lady, you are a Time Lord" she then winked at Alex "you are not from Coruscant, you are from the planet Gallifrey, why are you so interested in this?"

"Because I have the right to know"

"He's right" said Anakin "he does have the right"

"Why should he" Missy said smiling "after we are done here he's going to forget this conversation ever took place" she then took out her strange looking device and then smiled "does this look familair?"

"So that is what you used" Alex gasped "to make us forget you"

"Yes!" Missy said smiling "and I will gladly do it again" she then came to a halt and said aomething quite unexpected "stop!" And rather unexpectedly Alex and Anakin both obeyed Missy. They had arrived at a large hole, it's entrance light with a bright glowing light "strange" Missy said "this wasn't here the last time"

"The last time?" Alex said to which Anakin then asked

"What do you me the last time?"

"The last time I was here" Missy said simply "you'll catch on in a bit" she then winked at Alex slightly and Alex thought he was imagining it but he could see a slight smile as Missy watched him figure it out.

"Ahsoka" Alex said finally catching on "you were here with Ahsoka" he then imagined Missy and Ahsoka standing at this exact same entrance. Only that time the hole was dark.

"Yes" Missy said with a smile "I was here with you're pretty little girlfriend" she then took a step back and then said "well I pushed her down" at this Alex took out his Lightsabers and then said something quite unlike him

"Where is she?"

"Put that away dear" Missy said with her arms up mockingly "you'll hurt somebody" at this Alex said

"Tell me that Ahsoka is alive" at this Missy sighed and said

"Yes" Missy sighed "she is alive" but then strangely she hesitated and Alex noticed the look on her face and raised his Lightsaber again

"What?" Alex said "tell me!"

"I said" Missy said "that she is alive" she then looked at the brightly lit hole and then said "though I don't know for how long" to which Anakin said

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you know what's down there?" Asked Missy looking at Alex and Anakin "either of you?"

"No" Alex said raising his Lightsabers "which is why I am asking you so very nicely" at this Missy laughed and then said

"Is this asking me nicely?" She said looking at Anakin and then back at Alex "no, i don't think it is" when Alex raised the Lightsaber again Missy then said very quickly "ok, ok, I said the reason you're pretty little girlfriend may not last for much longer" she then looked at the hole "is because down that hole is The Vault"

"And what is The Vault?" Alex said curious to know and Missy answered

"Main Cyberbase" at this Alex put his Lightsaber away and Missy sighed in relief "main HQ of the Cybermen, and do you know what this means?"

At this Alex smiled and said "you're kidding" to which Missy laughed and said

"I know!"

"What?" Anakin said being the only person that was confused by this, "what the hell is going on," he looked at Alex and then back at Missy "what is with you two" to which Missy replied with

"We're Time Lords" said Missy "being secretive is kind of our thing" she then looked back at the hole "if you want to know what we do, jump down and have a look for yourself!" At this Anakin stepped baked and looked at Alex and Missy not believing that he was on her side.

"And you agree with her?"

"Oh yes" Alex said but then he turned to Missy "but you're gonna jump down first" to which Missy's face faultered and she said or rather asked nervously

"What?"

"Do you honestly think I am that stupid?"

"Well" Missy said smiling "yes" she then turned to face the drop again and said "that is a pretty long drop" to which Alex then said with a smile

"Go on then" to which Missy replied

"Ok fine" she then clasped her hands together and then said something which was quite unexpected of her "Geronimo" at this she then jumped into the hole laughing as she did so to which Alex and Anakin followed her...
