"Come on." He takes Tallulah and I by the arms, forcibly leading us down the sewer "Every second you're down here, you're in danger. I'm taking you back right now." We turn a corner a see a pig man. Tallulah screams and the pig man tries to hide.

"Where's Martha? What have you done with her? What have you done with Martha?" Demands the Doctor, approaching the pig man

"I didn't take her." He answers softly

"Can you remember your name?"

"Don't look at me." He whimpers

"Do you know where she is?" I demand

"Stay back! Don't look at me!" Yells the pig man

"What happened to you?" the Doctor asks, gentler now

He is clearly more man than pig.

"They made me a monster."

"Who did?" Tallulah asks

"The masters."

"The Daleks. Why?" The Doctor asks him

"They needed slaves. They needed slaves to steal more people so they created us. Part animal, part human. I escaped before they got my mind, but it was still too late." He shakes his head

"Do you know what happened to Martha?" Demands the Doctor again

"They took her. It's my fault. She was following me." The pig man groans

"Were you in the theatre?" Tallulah asks

"Yes." Nods the pig man

"Why? Why were you there?"

"I never wanted you to see me like this…." The man grows and my eyes widen

"Why me? What do I gotta do with this? Were you following me? Is that why you were there?" The pig man turns to face Tallulah.

"Yes." Answers the pig man

"Who are you?" Tallulah asks

"I was lonely."

"Who are you?" Tallulah asks again

"I needed to see you."

"Who are you?" yells Tallulah

"I'm sorry." He turns away.

"No, wait." she grabs his arm "Let me look at you."

She tugs him into some light

"Laszlo?" she whispers and he nods

"My Laszlo?" He voice breaks "Oh, what have they done to you?"

"I'm sorry. So sorry." Lazlo says, tearing up.

I grab the Doctor's hand tightly, heart aching

"Laszlo, can you show me where they are?"

"They'll kill you." Warns Laszlo

"If I don't stop them, they'll kill everyone." The Doctor responds

"Then follow me." Laszlo answers, and we follow him down the corridor. After a few moments, we come to a halt

"Look." Whispers Laszlo.

Across the corridor we can see Martha and Frank. There are pig men guarding them and other prisoners, squealing nervously.

A Dalek glides into the tunnel.

"Silence. Silence." It screeches "You will form a line. Move."

The pig men push everyone into line.

"Just do what it says, everyone, okay? Just obey." Martha orders the panicking group

"The female is wise. Obey!" The Dalek screeches

A second Dalek arrives. "Report." It demands of the first

"These are strong specimens. They will help the Dalek cause."

Martha's face is awash with horror

"What is the status of the Final Experiment?" The first Dalek continues

"The Dalekanium is in place. The energy conductor is now complete." Answers the second

"Then I will extract prisoners for selection." The first Dalek agrees

A pig man brigs an older black man forward. The Dalek extends his sucker towards the man's face.

"Intelligence scan. Initiate. Reading brain waves." Announces the Dalek and I get a sick feeling in my stomach

"Doctor!" I hiss, realizing Martha is no idiot. In fact, she's brilliant.

"Low intelligence." Announces the Dalek

"You calling me stupid?" Demands the man, furious

"This one will become a pig slave." Responds the Dalek and two pig men pull him away.

"No, let go of me! I'm not becoming one of them!" screams the man as the Dalek moves to the next in line.

"Intelligence scan. Initiate." Announces the Dalek

"They're divided into two groups: high intelligence and low intelligence. The low intelligence are taken to become pig slaves like me." Lazlo explains quietly

"Well, that's not fair." Tallulah pouts

"Shh." The Doctor hisses

"You're the smartest guy I ever dated." Tallulah tells Lazlo

"Doctor! Martha's not stupid!" I whisper and he nods, turning to Lazlo

"And the others?"

"They're taken to the laboratory." Lazlo responds

"But why? What for?" I ask

"I don't know. The masters only call it the Final... Experiment." Laszlo shakes his head.

I turn back to the Daleks to see they're scanning Frank.

"Superior intelligence." Announces the Dalek, before he turns to Martha

"Intelligence scan. Initiate."

Martha stares in horror at them before it announces "Superior intelligence. These ones will become part of the Final Experiment."

"You can't just experiment on people! It's insane! It's inhumane!" shouts Martha

"We are not human. Prisoners of high intelligence will be taken to the transgenic laboratory." The Dalek announces

"Look out, they're moving!" Hisses The Doctor as he flattens himself against the wall. Laszlo takes Tallulah and heads down the tunnel. "Doctor. Doctor! Quickly!" Lazlo calls

"I'm not going. I've got an idea. You go." He turns to me "Rose go."

"What? No!" I press closer to him

"Laszlo, c'mon!" Tallulah hisses

"Can you remember the way?" He asks her

"Yeah, I think so." Nods Tallulah

"Then go. Please." Laszlo urges

"But Laszlo, you gotta come with me." Begs Tallulah

"Where would I go? Tallulah, I'm beggin you, save yourself. Just run. Just go. Go."

Tallulah leaves

"Rose I'm telling you, go." The Doctor grabs my shoulders, turning me back towards him.

"I'm not going anywhere."

"Rose. You know how dangerous Daleks are. I am not letting you get hurt."

"I'm not leaving you. I know your history with the Daleks and you need me here."

"Rose…"

"Shh." I press a quick kiss to his mouth, shutting him up.

He pulls away

"Yeah, well, you can kiss me later." He teases, finally relenting, before we hide in the shadows of the corridor, because it's too late for me to leave now.

The Daleks pass by and we fall in line between Martha and Frank while Laszlo acts like one of the guards.

"Just keep walking." The Doctor hisses to us

"I'm so glad to see you." Gasps Martha

"I'm glad you're alright. I swear none of you listen to my number one rule. Don't run off!"

We march out of the sewers and into a crowded elevator.

After several minutes pf rising, we are all shoved out into a large room, full of strange equipment.

"Report." One of the two Daleks in front of us demand

"Dalek Sec is in the final stage of evolution." Responds a third Dalek and I turn to look at the Doctor in horror.

Dalek Sec. These are the same Daleks, which were there at Canary Warf. These are the same Daleks, which Wolfe sacrificed herself to kill.

I feel sick.

"Scan him. Prepare for birth." The Dalek responds

"Evolution?" Mutters the Doctor, his hand tight in mine, which I know means he understands the situation.

"What's wrong with old Charlie boy over there?" Martha nods at the Dalek

"Ask them."

"What me? Don't be daft."

"They…Rose and I have fought them before…we don't exactly want to get noticed. Ask them what's going on."

"Daleks, I demand to be told. What is this Final Experiment? Report!" Martha demands loudly

"You will bear witness." The first Dalek responds

"To what?" Martha challenges

"This is the dawn of a new age."

"What does that mean?"

"We are the only four Daleks so the species must evolve a life outside the shell. The Children of Skaro must walk again."

Dalek Sec's shell powers down.

With clouds of smoke and blue light the casing opens once to reveal some type of hybrid. My stomach drops as the clothing it's wearing is unmistakably that of Mr. Diagoras. The head is similar to a Dalek body with mouth, one eye, and tentacles. The hands are almost claw-like

"What is it?" Martha Demands

"I am a human Dalek." Answers Dalek Sec "I am your future. "These... humans will become like me."

The Doctor takes my hand and we slip behind some machinery, unnoticed. "Prepare them for hybridisation." Announces Dalek Sec

The pig slaves close in on Martha, Frank and the other prisoners.

"Leave me alone! Don't you dare!" Martha yells as the Doctor yanks a radio out of his pocket and sonics it.

"Happy Days are Here Again" begins playing painfully loudly and everyone stops

"What is that sound?" Demands Dalek Sec

"Stay here." The Doctor hisses, before he steps out, a radio in his hands. "That would be me." He grins, and sets radio down "Hello. Surprise. Boo. Et cetera."

I Smile

"Doctor." Dalek Sec announces

"The enemy of the Daleks." Panics another Dalek

"Exterminate." Agrees another

"Wait." Dalek Sec orders

"Well, then. A new form of Dalek." He walks forward "Fascinating and very clever."

"The Cult of Skaro escaped your slaughter." Boasts Dalek Sec

"How did you end up in 1930?" Asks the Doctor

"Emergency Temporal Shift" Answers Dalek Sec, less proudly

"Oh, that must have roasted up your power cells, yeah?" Scoffs the Doctor, as he strides away, looking about "Time was, four Daleks could have conquered the world but instead your skulking away, hidden in the dark, experimenting." He takes a deep breath "All of which results in you."

"I am Dalek in human form."

"What does it feel like? You can talk to me, Dalek Sec. It is Dalek Sec, isn't it? That's your name? You've got a name and a mind of your own. Tell me what you're thinking right now." The Doctor urges

"I... feel... humanity." Gasps Dalek Sec

"Good. That's good."

"I... feel... everything we wanted from mankind, which is ambition, hatred, aggression and war. Such... a genius for war." Continues Dalek Sec

"No, that's not what humanity means." The Doctor stops him

"I think it does. At heart, this species is so very... Dalek."

"All right, so what have you achieved then? With this Final Experiment, eh? Nothing! 'Cause I can show you what you're missing with this thing." He points at the radio "Simple little radio." He runs over at pats it, as it still spouts music

"What is the purpose of that device?" demands Dalek Sec

"Well, exactly. It plays music. What's the point of that? Oh, with music, you can dance to it, sing with it" He glances back at me, "Fall in love to it."

I remember back when I first learned he could dance, dancing around the Tardis with him

He focuses on the Dalek again "Unless you're a Dalek of course. Then its just noise." The Doctor aims the sonic screwdriver at the radio and a high pitch wail emanates from it. Sec holds his head in pain while the other Daleks act erratically. The Doctor turns to the prisoners

"Run!" He grabs my hand and all the prisoners and us run down the tsairs into the sewers and through the tunnels

"Come on! Move, move, move, move, move!" Encourages the Doctor

We run down a tunnel and find Tallulah.

"And you, Tallulah! Run!"

"What's happened to Laszlo?" Demands Tallulah

The pig slaves and two Daleks are following. Laszlo slips away. The Doctor leads everyone to a ladder.

"C'mon! Everyone up!"

We all climb up, one by one.

When all of us are out the Doctor slams the hole down.

"Come on. We've got to get back to Hooverville." The Doctor orders the group and we hurry back, through the dusky light.

Okay, so I have been terrible about posting. I am so sorry! I am a Junior, and this year's academic work is kicking my butt. I really will try to post more, but please don't think the story's over or I'm done. There is still so much to finish! (For example, we still have to figure out what's happening with Wolfe!) I love you all, and again, I am so sorry for being bad about posting. Blame it on my AP teachers. ;)

Lots of Love!
