Scene 1
The Doctor and Bruce are running down the hallway, trying to find an elevator.
Bruce: Do you know where we're going?
Doctor: Of course I do! I was keeping track when we were being led down the hall. There
was an elevator right after the room where the Masters were.
They come to the elevator, and the Doctor presses the circle. The door opens and there
are three coyotes waiting for them. One of the Masters' voices is heard coming from a
speaker in the ceiling.
Master 2: I knew you had that thing somewhere, and I knew you would try to escape.
And now both of you will die.
Master 1: What the devil do you think you're doing?!?
Master 2: I'm disposing of our old enemy once and for all.
Master 1: And how are we supposed to get out of here if he gets torn to shreds?
Master 2: (sheepishly) I apologise. I was letting my anger get the best of me.
Master 1: I would say so!
Master 2: I tell you, you have no idea what you're in for from this man.
Doctor: You mean like the time I bailed you out after you shut off Logopolis, and you
showed your gratitude by knocking me off the Pharos Project sattelite dish?
Master 1: You what?
Master 2: I thought I could turn it back on again!
Master 1: What did you think you were doing?
Master 2: I was holding the universe ransom!
Master 1: Well, I hope I at least learn something from it!
Master 2: Oh, you do. And you cause our friend here to regenerate.
Master 1: That sounds like a real treat. As for his friend, I think we should use him to
test our creation.
Bruce: Creation?
Scene 2
Officer Schwarz and Mikey are talking at the station, after hours.
Mikey: So, still no luck finding Mr. Morse?
Officer Schwarz: Huh? Oh, no. We haven't identified our John Doe either. You know,
it's strange. The claw marks on the carcass match those of a coyote.
Mikey: What?
Officer Schwarz: That's what I said. I mean, coyotes are desert predators. Why are they
here? And I've heard of them gnawing their own limbs off, but something else's?
Mikey: Weird!
Scene 3:
Back in the spaceship. The Doctor and Bruce are being led to a cage, against a wall with
a door in it.
Master 1: And here we are.
Doctor: So, what do you have in store for me this time? I can hardly wait to see it.
Master 2: Since you're so anxious, I'll tell you. You remember our old friends, the
Ogrons? Well, in our travels, we came across a space ship that had taken specimens of
different alien races, including an Ogron. After landing, we spliced the Ogron's DNA
with that of a coyote. Now that I've explained that, I think it's time for the kid to
meet him.
Bruce is led into the cage, while the Doctor is backed into a wall, where bands come out
and bind his hands to it. As the cage locks, the door opens, and out steps a very
vicious looking creature which is definitely half Ogron, half coyote.
Master 1: Ah, yes! The strength of an Ogron, and the wits and reflexes of a coyote!
This is gonna be good!
The Coyogron(?) lunges for Bruce with its claws. Bruce jumps out of the way, and the
beast stops and goes for him again.
Doctor: Bruce!
Scene 4
Mrs. Morse is sitting at home, worried to tears.
Mrs. Morse: Oh, god, John! Where are you?
Suddenly, the front door opens.
John: Lorraine?!?
Mrs. Morse: (turns quickly towards door, gasps) John!
John: Lorraine!
Mrs. Morse: Oh, I've been so worried! Where were you?
John: In the woods! See, I was walking through the woods, and I heard this howling, so I
turned in the opposite direction, and I stepped on a slippery rock, and slid down a hill,
and I fell unconscious and woke up this morning, and I've been finding my way back since.
Mrs. Morse: Well, I'm just glad you're back safe.
John: Me, too.
Scene 5
Bruce is dodging the beasts attacks, but it's getting closer.
Doctor: Bruce! Try to slam it into the bars!
Bruce: (dodging claw) Okay! No problem!
Bruce lands on his back, and the creature runs for him. Bruce kicks him into the bars.
Doctor: Now, while he's stunned, turn him towards me!
Bruce gets up and does that. The Doctor gets its attention.
Doctor: Hey! Listen to me. I am the Doctor. You will listen to me, and you will obey
me! You will obey me!
The thing stares back at the Doctor, hypnotised.
Master 1: What are you doing?!?
Master 2: Isn't it obvious? He's using the same trick you did!
Doctor: You will obey me! Can you hear me? I want you to do something for me. Go over
to that panel behind you, and pull it off.
The thing obeys.
Doctor: Now pull out the wiring!
Masters: DOCTOR!!
The Ogron pulls out some of the wiring, and is electrocuted to death. The second master
screams, and then fades out.
Master 1: Well, Doctor. It looks like you've disposed of one of us. Good riddance, I
never liked him anyway, senile old fool. And now you're helpless, and I can have your
regenerations all to myself.
Suddenly, the bands come loose.
Doctor: Oh, I'm afraid not. It would appear your creation has set me free as well. And
since it was your friend who was controlling the coyotes, I need not worry about them.
In fact, you are the one who is helpless. Why, I could just take out my sonic
screwdriver, unlock the cage, go in, and sever your cables with it, too.
Master 1: No! You wouldn't dare!
Doctor: (unlocking cage) Maybe 500 years ago, I wouldn't have dared, but, frankly, I've
had enough of you. (walks into cage) Byebye. (uses SS to sever rest of cables)
Master 1: AAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!! (fades out)
Bruce: Rather convenient, that panel being there.
Doctor: Actually, no. That's the whole point. The Master always was cautious to a
fault.
Bruce: So, what now?
Doctor: Now, we go home, and toke until we can't walk.
Bruce: Wicked!
Scene 6
The Doctor and Bruce are toking at Bruce's house.
Bruce: So, when are we going into Boston to find that part.
Doctor: Oh, I don't know. Tommorow, I guess.
Bruce: Wait'll you meet my crowd, man. They're gonna love you.
Doctor: Well, I hope so. I don't meet a lot of friendly people in this line of work.
