CHAPTER 38

I do not own Doctor Who, and I am making no profit off of this.

Davros looked at his newest Experiment Zero with an expression of glee on his face. It had taken a very long time, but he had finally come up with another woman who could survive being exposed to the Vortex. He had recreated the original experiment from memory even though Rose had wiped away all of his notes with the Bad Wolf Virus. This time instead of pitting her directly against Rose Tyler, he had decided to do something clever.

He had this woman hooked into a machine that beamed her power directly into certain Daleks that had had their shells rebuilt to safely receive and manipulate her Vortex energy. This newest plan had taken months of preparation before it could be implemented, but it would soon be worth it. His new Vortex Daleks would kill the Bad Wolf forever, and then the Daleks would fear no one ever again. With their new abilities, they would quickly sweep across the universe and remake it in their image!

Rose Tyler could have remade the universe too if she had ever chosen to. Davros didn't understand how anyone could have such power and fail to use it. He never would understand what motivated the mysterious Time Lady who played at being a human being. She was an enigma to him. Why would you want to be a lesser species when you could be a god? In a way, she was his complete opposite. Perhaps that was what fascinated him about her.

Now he looked in triumph at what he hoped would be the instrument of her destruction. He had her safely hidden far away from Skaro. No one could possibly find her. You would have to be a Dalek in order to know where she was at because her secret location was hidden on the impenetrable Dalek net. No one, not even the Doctor, had ever been able to break into it! Davros would soon find out that he was wrong about that though.

A lone Dalek came through the door of this hidden chamber, and the Daleks standing guard there with him immediately confronted it.

"YOU ARE HERE IN ERROR. THIS AREA IS OFF LIMITS! YOU WILL EXPLAIN YOUR ACTIONS IMMEDIATELY, OR YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED!" one of Davros' guards shouted at the newcomer.

"I WAS TOLD TO COME AND HELP GUARD THE HUMAN. THIS IS MY LATEST ASSIGNMENT," The new Dalek said.

"CHECK ALL WORK ORDERS AND CONFIRM!" the lead Dalek guard told a subordinate.

The subordinate checked a computer and said, "IT IS TRUE! THE ORDERS HAVE JUST COME IN FROM DALEK HIGH COMMAND!"

"THEN ASSUME YOUR STATION AND COMMENCE YOUR DUTIES!" the lead guard barked out at the newest arrival.

"I OBEY!" the new Dalek said.

The Dalek assumed a position among the other guards. Oswin Oswald had just made her way unnoticed into the secret Dalek base! She was now one step closer to helping Rose bring this new plot by Davros down!

She would now slowly infiltrate the Dalek net and erase all knowledge of Experiment Zero not only from there but from the Daleks themselves. It would be like it never existed. It would take a little time to do it stealthily though. She would get that time soon when the next step in Rose's plan commenced.

Minutes after Oswin's arrival, Rose teleported into the entrance of the Dalek base and began to take on a horde of Daleks who instantly came to stop her. The Vortex Daleks soon showed up to help their weaker cousins.

Rose deflected or redirected several Dalek attacks at once as all of them opened fire on her simultaneously. Luckily for Rose, she had mastered the use of this energy a long time ago. The Daleks attacking her were like a bunch of college football players taking on a professional athlete. There was no comparison between them.

The only Dalek that gave her any real problems was that pesky Special Weapons Dalek. He just had a little more power to his punch! Being hit by him was like being hit by a ton of bricks every time, and it always sent her flying across the room! She would pick herself up every time none the worse for wear but flustered. She hated that Dalek!

While Rose was keeping the main Dalek forces distracted and Oswin was erasing all knowledge about Experiment Zero from the Dalek Net, the Doctor was carrying out his part of the plan as he materialized his TARDIS somewhere deep inside the base. He slowly made his way to the hidden chamber where Experiment Zero was located and prepared to do battle against the Dalek guards there.

Luckily for him, he wasn't alone. Sarah Jane was with him. It was just like old times!

"Luke, I'm going to need you to stand by and carry out your part of the plan later. Wait on standby for my signal," the Doctor instructed Luke over a specially rigged up communicator that he had brought with him.

Even Luke and the other children had their part to play in this plan. It was time for them to begin.

"Now, Luke!" the Doctor ordered.

Rose's TARDIS materialized inside of the hidden chamber and began firing on the Daleks inside with its arsenal of weapons.

"Are you sure that he's going to be alright? He's a genius, but he doesn't understand Time Lord technology. At least not yet," Sarah Jane asked worried.

"He'll be fine. Rose's TARDIS is a War TARDIS equipped with all kinds of nasty weaponry left over from the Time War. Rose has it set on automatic attack. All Luke had to do is hit one button to start the attack. When he wants to stop, he just hits the same button again. It's a cool plan. It's so cool, it's a wonder I didn't think of it! I'll admit that Rose is smarter than me though. She's fantastic! That's what a former version of me might say anyway; and for once, I agree with Old Shouty!" the Doctor said with a wide grin on his face.

Sarah Jane shook her head at him. He was still the same as he had always been at his core even though he had changed in so many other ways. This felt like old times to her too.

When he heard Rose's TARDIS stop firing, the Doctor turned to Sarah Jane and said, "That's our cue. Let's go, Sarah Jane! Geronimo!"

They both charged in with their sonics pulled out as they prepared to take on any stragglers from the War TARDIS' attack.

Next: The Doctor and Sarah attempt to disconnect the new Experiment Zero from the Vortex Daleks while Rose keeps them distracted. Davros has a surprise waiting for them though. Nothing's ever easy!
