The sun slowly set over oxford university, bathing the buildings in golden light soon to be replaced with the orange glow of street lights as darkness descended.
Students from across the university were headed to the oxford union eagerly anticipating the unions band night, just outside a patch of ground began to move as a single hand burst to the surface.
At the back of the oxford union two UNIT soldiers stood keeping watch, one of them turned and looked behind him.
"What's up?" the other soldier asked.
"Thought I heard something" the first solider answered.
"Probably just a stray cat or something, sarge blew the tunnel nothing coming out of there anytime soon" the 2nd soldier replied.
But then something ran past behind him.
"Who's there?" the soldier shouted as he spun around.
Just then a time devil appeared and knocked the soldier to the ground.
"Ray" the other soldier yelled.
But as he ran up to help him another time devil leaped at him and knocked him against a wall, as the soldier struggled to get to his feet more time devils appeared.
"How disappointing" Sanjay said as he joined them.
He slowly walked towards the soldier, who now had has back against the wall.
"I expected more of a challenge," Sanjay continued.
"Don't come any closer," the soldier told him as he raised his gun.
But Sanjay continued to advance
"Stay back" The soldier yelled.
The soldier fired a shot, hitting Sanjay's shoulder the impact making him turn away.
"Now that hurt" Sanjay said quietly.
He then turned back to the soldier and lunged forward slamming him into the wall.
"But not as much as this will" Sanjay added.
Sanjay's face had now transformed, his forehead was now distorted the eye's below bright yellow, and his teeth were now fangs which he sunk into the man's neck.
Luke woke up with a start, was he dreaming again, no somehow he knew what he had seen was really happening.
"Luke you ok" Josh said as he went over to his friend.
Luke turned to him.
"It's Sanjay, he's alive and he's free" Luke told him as he stood up.
"But how, James said it would take them ages to clear all that rubble" Josh answered.
"Must have found another way out" Luke replied.
He then saw another image flash through his mind, and Josh had to grab him to stop him falling to the floor.
"Luke?" Josh continued sounding a little scared.
"He's going to the oxford union," Luke explained.
"Oh no, it's band night tonight" Josh almost shouted.
"There going to kill everyone Josh" Luke added.
Sanjay and the other time devils were stood at one of the back entrances to the oxford union, the two UNIT soldiers guarding it didn't stand a chance.
"Guard the exits boys" Sanjay told the other time devils as they headed inside.
The bands had already started playing in one of the large halls and the place was full with students enjoying themselves, Sanjay smiled to himself as he entered the room.
"Soon master we will be reunited once more" he said to himself.
Not to far away James was briefing a squad of UNIT soldiers.
"Once inside our mission is to evacuate the students as quickly as possible, remember bullets won't kill these creatures but it will slow them down, once you are clear of the union proceed to the rendezvous point where captain Gaskill will give you further orders" James told them.
The soldiers saluted and headed to a waiting truck, Luke and his friends then came up to James.
"We're coming with you" Luke told him.
"No you lot are staying here, we'll handle it from here" James answered.
"But we know how to deal with these things" Jay replied.
"That maybe so but I cannot guarantee you safety" James continued.
"Please James, there's still a chance I can reach Sanjay" Luke pleaded.
James turned to Luke and could see the teenager was close to tears.
"Ok, but you ride with me," James said.
Luke nodded as a smile appeared on his face.
Back at the oxford union one of the bands had just finished playing, and a man appeared on stage.
"Let's here it for Osborn there, next up we have…" but the mans voice cut out as his mike went dead.
"I'm sorry but tonight's entertainment has been cancelled" Sanjay said as he walked on to the stage.
Doors around the hall began to slam shut as the time devils blocked the exits.
"Ladies and gentlemen there is no cause for alarm," Sanjay continued.
Sanjay's face then transformed into that of a time devil.
"Well there is cause for alarm, but it won't do any good," Sanjay added.
UNIT soon arrived at the oxford union but the place had been sealed.
"No were too late," Luke said as he and the others arrived.
"We'll have to blow the windows," James told one of his men.
"Wait I have a better idea" Jay explained.
"Oh no you don't, your not going in there alone" James answered.
"Your going to need a distraction" Jay replied.
Then without any warning Jay ran towards the union.
"Jay no" Josh shouted.
"We better get after her" James said as he followed.
Jay ran around the back of the oxford union and up to one of the back entrances, she then pulled a hair clip out of her pocket and began to pick the lock, the door soon clicked and Jay opened it to find a time devils behind it.
"Oh have the bands started playing" Jay asked with a smile.
The smile then faded as she turned to run, but the time devils leaped in to the air and grabbed her pulling her to the ground.
"Don't suppose we can talk about this" Jay said, as the time devil was about to bite her
But then a crossbow bolt hit the creature and it exploded in a cloud of dust, Jay the saw James with a crossbow followed by Luke, Josh, and Danny.
Suddenly two more time devils dropped down from the roof and knocked James to the sending his crossbow skidding across the ground, Josh changed at one of them and jumped on it's back, the other ran forward but Danny kicked it around the head.
"You all right, did he bite you" Luke asked as he ran over to Jay.
Jay shook her head.
"No I'm ok" She replied.
Suddenly one of the time devils threw Danny to the ground and grabbed James by the throat as the other spun around trying to get josh off it's back.
James struggled to get free but soon felt his breath leaving him, suddenly the time devil screamed in pain and turned to dust revealing Danny with a stake.
"Thanks" James said as he caught his breath.
"Any time" Danny replied.
They turned and could see josh was still hanging onto the other time devils back.
"What's wrong getting tired" Josh said.
But the time devil managed to throw josh off him and changed at him.
"Josh" Luke shouted as he threw him a stake.
Josh caught it and held it out in front of him closing his eyes, the time devil ran straight into it and dust erupted around josh.
"Did I get him?" Josh asked as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Oh you got him alright," Jay said as he helped him up.
James then turned to the open door.
"Looks like we have our way in" James told them.
"Your still going to need a distraction, so you can get you men inside unseen," Jay said.
"I'll go, it's me he wants after all," Luke told them.
"You not going anywhere alone" Danny replied.
"Not without your friends" Josh continued.
Luke smiled at them and turned to James.
"How long do you need" Luke asked.
James could see the same determination he has seen on Sarah Jane's face many time, and knew that there was no point in arguing.
"Give us 5 minutes and we'll be in position" James replied.
Luke looked at his wristwatch and started the stopwatch on it.
"You've got it" Luke replied as he disappeared into the oxford union with Josh, Danny, and jay close behind.
Inside Sanjay was still stood on the stage.
"Tonight you all bare witness to my master return, just a pity some of you won't be alive to see it" Sanjay said with a evil grin.
He looked down at the frightened students below.
"Now who shall be first" he asked.
"Why don't you start with me?" A voice shouted.
Everyone turned to see Luke walking towards the stage.
"Well, well the freak returns" Sanjay mocked.
"Let everyone go, it's me you want" Luke told him.
"That's where your wrong I'm afraid, because I don't need you anymore, Lord Anubus now only needs the strength to cross from the shadow dimensions to this one" Sanjay explained.
"I'm not going to let you hurt anyone," Luke continued.
Sanjay then began to laugh.
"And how are you going to stop me all by your self" Sanjay laughed.
"Because he's not alone" Jay yelled as she appeared with Josh and Danny.
"So you've yet again brought your friends into your dangerous world, Oh how I'm going to enjoy making them suffer in front of you" Sanjay added.
Luke then started to laugh.
"You really are stupid aren't you" Luke told him as his stopwatch reach 5 minutes.
"And why is that" Sanjay demanded.
"Because as Jay told you we are not alone" Luke said with a grin.
Suddenly UNIT soldiers burst into the hall from all directions, their guns trained on the time devils.
"Everyone get down," Luke yelled.
All the students dropped to the ground as the UNIT soldiers fired on the time devils that drop to the ground.
"Everyone follow my squad they will lead you to safety" James told everyone.
The soldiers opened all the doors and led everyone outside, but the time devils were now back on there feet and attacked the soldiers.
"Don't let them bite you" Jay yelled as she staked on of the time devils.
Josh and Danny dusted 2 more as crossbow bolts struck several the time devils, Josh and Danny turned to see James, walker and 2 other UNIT soldiers armed with crossbows and stakes.
Sanjay looked on as time devil after time devil turned to dust, and realised his plan had failed and decide it was time to leave but Luke saw him and headed after him.
The remaining time devils had also seen Sanjay leave so also decide to flee, one of them turned and ran through a set of fire doors, only to be stuck in the chest with a stake by the man in the long black coat.
"Oh no you don't" The man said as the time devil disintegrated.
Sanjay was now headed down a corridor, but found Luke waiting for him.
"Leaving so soon" Luke said.
"Get out of my way boy" Sanjay snarled.
"No this ends here, give Sanjay back and I'll let you leave to find another body" Luke told him.
"Not a chance kid" Sanjay snapped.
"Then I must do, what I must do," Luke said as he pulled out a stake.
Sanjay then yelled in anger and changed at Luke, he knocked Luke to the ground but the teenager kicked him in the face and jumped to his feet.
But Sanjay grabbed Luke and threw him across the corridor sending the stake flying out of his hand; Luke could now feel blood pouring from his forehead.
"You know what the worst part was pretending I liked you" Sanjay told him.
"Your not Sanjay" Luke spat.
"You'd like to think that wouldn't you, but I've always been there, always been part of him, I know him better that you ever could" Sanjay said as he walked up to him.
Sanjay then grabbed Luke and slammed him against the wall.
"Sanjay there has to be part of you in there somewhere, I know there is" Luke pleaded.
"Dream on boy, your friend is dead and now your going to join him" the creature inside Sanjay told him as he threw back his head to bite him.
But with a sudden fit of strength Luke managed to push himself away from the wall with his foot and slammed Sanjay into a row of lockers on the other wall.
Luke then ran down the corridor but Sanjay soon caught him up, but as he was about to grab him Luke push a bookcase into his path which came crashing down on Sanjay.
Books and wood then flew everywhere as Sanjay burst out from the wreckage, but Luke had the stake in his hand again and stood ready to strike, but then he stop dead.
"You can't do it can you, if you kill me you kill him" Sanjay said.
Luke then lowered the stake and turned away as Sanjay got back up.
"So weak, Just remember every life I take will e on your hands, because you didn't' have the guts to do it, little Lukey will have failed his friends yet again" Sanjay added.
But then Luke turned to him and charged at him, and sent them both crashing through a window, Josh, Danny, and Jay, all heard the crash and turned to see Luke and Sanjay falling from a 1st floor window.
"Luke no" Josh yelled as the two figures hit the ground.
Luke and Sanjay lay on the ground below, both remained motionless.
