The Doctor had gotten Peri and himself into a sticky
situation this time and he had no idea how they'd survive. Autons to
the left of him, Zygons to the right and a few Sontarans thrown in for
good measure. Beside him Peri had not stopped screaming, this wasn't
helping his normally fast working brain devise a way out. Why did he
always have to have screamers for companions? No, he had to come back
to the problem at hand. How he was going to get out of this mess and
why in Rassilon's name were three unrelated enemies of his working
together?
"Doctor?" cried Peri, still in hysterics, "what are we going to do"
"I'm trying to think Peri, but you're not helping." The Doctor's voice broke slightly as the stress got to him.
"Who
is going to save us!" As the words came out of Peri's mouth another
figure stepped into the room. Black haired and with a thick moustache
he began throwing and catching a red ball. Like the Doctor he too was
dressed in cricket whites. "It's the Australian Fast Bowler!" Cried
Peri. The Doctor looked at her and raised an eyebrow. She shrugged, she
had no idea why she said that, let alone who the man was it just felt like the right thing to say. "G'day, how
ya going?" the Australian Fast Bowler asked in a deep voice before
motioning his hands towards the aliens surrounding the Doctor and his
companion.
"Doctor, what's he doing"
"I do believe, Peri, that
he's...setting the field..." The Doctor was confused. In all his lives
he'd never seen anything like this before. Both Time Lord and companion
watched as the Australian Fast Bowler first rubbed the cricket ball on
his leg, took a run up and threw the ball. To the pair's disbelief the
cricket ball hit every alien that had held them captive, knocking them
to the ground. "HOWZAT!" he asked to which the Doctor could only nod.
"Thanks Australian Fast Bowler!" Exclaimed Peri excitedly, running up
and giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"On your way, back to the
pavilion," the Australian Fast Bowler finally said as the aliens stood
up and to the Doctor's astonishment they actually stumbled away, the
Australian Fast Bowler too walked off leaving only the Doctor and Peri
to wonder about what actually happened.
