"Captain, can you hear me? This is Colonel Jilkins, please answer," the sound came out of the Captain's personal communicator but no one answered it. It just lay there strapped to a belt worn by a dead body.
A few flies and other scavenging wildlife surrounded the body and the others next to it, only to disperse as Mike made his way past them. He dropped one of the small explosives on the bodies then after walking some distance away turned and fired his rifle at them. He sneered as bits of flesh and bone went flying. He didn't care about there lives. All he cared about was destroying anything that opposed it. The creature in his mind realised what it could do if it had full control for long enough, it would live again.
Rose trudged slowly through the jungle, keeping an eye out for any poisonous insects she might encounter on the way. Then ahead of her she saw the large body of a spaceship. She approached it cautiously; it was swarming with different creatures. Even some she couldn't really fit into any particular category. There was one that looked like a flying jellyfish. She remembered what she'd seen of the creature's memory; it had been in a spaceship that had crashed. This must be that space ship. She could see an open entrance inside it. Maybe Mike was hiding in there.
The Doctor was now running from Colonel Jilkins's squad of soldiers taking random changes of direction to confuse them, making sure he passed roots that could trip people up if they weren't careful. He even used the sonic screwdriver to make a branch fall off a tree. But eventually the got the better of him, half of them doubled round and blocked his path in front of them. The Doctor looked at all the soldiers, once again pointing rifles at him.
"Right then, what happens now?" he asked.
Then he noticed that all the soldiers, particularly Colonel Jilkins.
"On second thoughts, don't answer that," he said.
Rose was wandering the corridors of the space ship; she hadn't found Mike yet though. The corridors and rooms were littered with bodies. Some just dead, others were terribly mutilated. She didn't want to be here. She decided to leave, now. She turned round to go but there was someone in the corridor, someone blocking her path. Rose started backing away as the man came closer. Rose saw that he was one of the soldiers, and he was carrying an energy rifle, aimed right at her. Rose turned and ran, but the soldier fired the weapon, hitting Rose in the back and she collapsed.
The soldiers had found a small clearing where they were setting up camp. The Doctor stood near the edge guarded by two soldiers. They'd confiscated his stun gun, TARDIS locator and sonic screwdriver. He was now whistling to himself and thinking about butterflies. He didn't know why he was thinking about butterflies, they certainly didn't go well with the theme for Blakes 7 (which was what he was whistling). So instead he started thinking about Mike and the creature. Where was Mike now, and what would happen to him when the creature got full control.
Anna was still going through the jungle looking for Mike, she had no idea of what had happened to the Doctor and Rose. She just kept trudging through the foliage, always alert for any sign of hostile movement. She pushed back more foliage, then she stopped because in front of her was pyramid. Well it was like a pyramid; it was completely grey and seemed at least twice the height of the tallest buildings on Earth. The side Anna was facing looked like it stretched for two or more miles. Anna decided to follow the side she was facing. At least there wasn't any foliage in the way. Behind her something emerged from the foliage and she didn't notice. It was Mike; he looked at then retreated back into the jungle and started moving parallel to her.
The creature stared at the girl, she'd been the first thing it had seen in this new body. The first thing it had tried to kill. It had failed. Once again it thought about its new body and in inefficiency for killing, but now it had a weapon and could kill her easily.
The Doctor watched as a small group of the soldiers came through the jungle, Colonel Jilkins's had sent a small search party out to find the other soldiers.
"Well?" Jilkins said, "What have you found?"
"We haven't found everybody yet sir," one of them said, "But the ones we did find were all dead."
"Did you check the bodies for signs of who or what killed them?" Jilkins asked.
"They were all attacked with out weapons sir, we also found what was left of the Captain," the soldier explained.
"Right, I want you to go and find those other people," Jilkins said, "They must have killed them."
The Doctor heard this, he didn't want to believe it, he was sure Rose and Anna wouldn't have done something like that, but Mike…was it Mike, if it was any of them it had to be Mike. Colonel Jilkins turned towards the Doctor; he looked as though he was even angrier than before.
"You and your friends have a lot to answer for," he said and turned back to the other soldiers.
Anna had found an entrance into the pyramid; it opened into a long stone corridor. It was pitch black in the there. Then she spotted a rack made of rough twigs a few metres into the tunnel. It held several stone staffs with a large sphere on the end. Anna picked one up, the sphere looked to be a silvery coloured stone and was translucent. The stone itself seemed to be glowing. Anna took it outside and it stopped glowing. However built the pyramid must have used these for lighting inside it. Anna thought about this, then wondered whether Mike was in the pyramid, she thought it was unlikely but she decided that it would be best to check. Mike watched as Anna went into the pyramid, he waited for a few minutes then went in after her.
