I updated really quick! Well, I should be revising... but I got bored! i think this part could have too much dialogue... tell me what you think:)
Anyway, on with the show!
"So, like, how far in the future are we?" Mickey ran up alongside the Doctor, fed up with having to run along every now and then just to keep up with the strutting Doctor. Mickey vaguely wished he could be that effortlessly sexy, then immediately banished the thought from his mind.
"The Tardis showed that we're in the twenty-sixth century," the Doctor replied, " but this spaceship is a lot earlier then that." The Doctor stopped so suddenly that Mickey continued walking for a few paces. "In fact, it's rather odd that it is here."
"What d'you mean?" Rose questioned.
"I don't know." The Doctor frowned, evidently deep in his thoughts, then as suddenly as he had stopped he started again. "Guess we'll find out." Mickey shivered as he began following the Doctor again, it seemed that the further they carried on along the corridor the colder it got. He turned to look at Rose; she too was shivering slightly and rubbing her bare arms. Mickey breathed out heavily noticing that his breath, which hung in the air like a cloud of steam, was visible.
"Nippy isn't it!" The Doctor cheerfully remarked.
"Nippy? It's more than a bit nippy!" Mickey snapped. "Besides, it's alright for you! You've got a coat." He grumbled.
"Why's it so cold? It weren't this bad in the cargo-" Rose was cut off by the abrupt entrance of a girl with an extremely bright blue T-shirt on, so bright it was almost fluorescent, and dirty blonde hair to her shoulders which had numerous pink plaits scattered over it. The girl was followed by a muscular (slightly rotund), man with spiky black hair and he was wearing a similar T-shirt to the girl. However, it was not the T-shirts that grabbed Rose's attention but the fact that they were both pointing what looked like space-age guns straight at her.
"Hello there!" The Doctor said, far too merrily in Rose's opinion. The two strangers were briefly perplexed by his attitude; they had obviously been expecting to ignite fear within whomever they came across. The Doctor's fear had definitely not been ignited.
"Tell us who controls SKULD!" The girl demanded, shoving the gun sharply into the Doctor's side, her companion pointed his gun at Rose's head as he intuitively knew that the chances of Mickey attacking him were infinite to one.
"SKULD?" The Doctor spoke, more to himself then anyone else. "Is that what this spaceship's called? Weird name…" The girl thrust the gun further into his sides.
"Don't mess around with me." The girl growled in his ear. "Just tell me who your boss is and no one gets hurt."
"I'd love to! Just one problem though, I haven't got a clue what you are on about!" He turned to grin at her. "Now, let's put that gun down shall we? Then we can talk about this like-" A loud bang reverberated around them, it's echoes ringing in their ears. Then there was the sound of far-away footsteps, pounding on the metal floor, heading straight towards the corridor where they were standing. The girl grabbed the Doctor's arm forcefully, a panicked look across her face as she motioned with her gun for the others to lead.
"Quick! Down that corridor!" The man whispered, his voice rough and gravely. They sprinted back down the way that they had just came, through to the exact door that they had just left.
"Go through that doorway!" The girl whispered to them. " And be quiet!" She commanded as she pushed the Doctor through before locking the door behind her, then pressing against, listening out for any noise that would show they had been followed.
"Hey!" The Doctor said, rubbing his arm protectively. "Be gentle with me! This body's brand new!" The girl turned away from the door and frowned suspiciously at him, once again holding out her gun.
"We're back in the cargo department." Sighed Rose. "Fantas- ouch!" She exclaimed as the man shoved the gun into her ribs very viciously.
"Alright!" She retorted. "I get it!"
"Ay! Leave her alone, Spiky!" The Doctor turned on the man with the gun, looking fiercely at him. "No need for uncalled for violence!" He whipped round to face the blonde girl again. "Can you call your little crony off?" He asked, pointing his thumb at the man glowering behind him. The girl simply rolled her eyes in reply.
"Right, so spill. Tell me who you are!" The blonde ordered.
"Ask me nicely!" The Doctor said playfully.
"Fine! Who are you, please?" She emphasised the last word so vehemently it sounded reminiscent of some alien swear word.
"That's better! Well, I'm The Doctor! And she," he pointed to Rose, "is my companion Rose, and that," he waved dismissively at Mickey, "is Rickey-"
"Mickey!"
"And we landed here accidentally. So I take it you're stowaways?" He asked pleasantly but the girl just ignored his question.
"Landed? I'm confused; this ship has no landing port."
"Who needs a landing port when you've got a Tardis?" Winked the Doctor, "So, now I've answered your question, you answer mine. Who are you?" He folded his arms expectantly, watching her closely.
"My name is Nova, and that's Bren." She answered, reluctantly after a brief pause, obviously realising that the Doctor was not a force to be reckoned with. Then she lowered her gun and walked forward, her hand outstretched. The Doctor shook it enthusiastically, his huge grin back on his face.
"Well Nova, what brings you here?" Nova licked her lips thoughtfully; evaluating whether she should tell a complete stranger what she was doing, then decided that the Doctor looked like a trustworthy person.
"SKULD kidnapped my brother – Damian – and we're here to get him back." Nova sighed, collapsing down onto a metal cargo box.
"I thought SKULD was the spaceship?" Contributed Mickey, who hated being left out of a conversation for so long. "How could a spaceship kidnap a guy?" Nova twisted around to look at him glaring, her brown eyes creasing slightly at the corners and Mickey, instinctively, took a step backwards.
"It's an organisation." She said the words slowly and deliberately, as if speaking to a naïve, little child. "Not just a spaceship." Mickey was incensed; why did everyone enjoy taunting him so much? They treated him like the village idiot.
"So they took your brother? Why would they want him?" enquired Rose, stepping closer to the Doctor now as Bren had removed his gun from her ribcage.
"Because he's special." Bren answered from behind her.
