Chapter Six: Victory of the Daleks: Part One
The sound of the Tardis materializing in the room made a man look up with a smirk as a buzzer went off. When the Tardis became solid, he motioned some soldiers to follow him, guns at the ready. The door creaked opened as The Doctor poked his head out to see if the coast was clear. He walked out, followed by Rose and The Master. Amy came out last, looking slightly wary as she took in the soldiers, aiming their guns at the group.
The Doctor smirked as he stared at the man. "Amy? Winston Churchill," he introduced.
"Doctor. Is it you?" Winston asked cautiously.
The Doctor chuckled. "Oh, Winston, my old friend!" they go in for a handshake when Winston withdrew his hand and beckons for something that made The Doctor laugh. "Every time!"
"What's he after?" Amy asked, as she stared at Winston in awe.
The Master sighed heavily. "Tardis key, Fire Cracker."
"Think of what I could achieve with your remarkable machine, Doctor. The lives that could be saved," Winston said longingly, staring at the Tardis.
"Doesn't work like that," The Doctor replied as he used the key to close the door.
Winston glared at the Time Lord. "Must I take it by force?"
The Doctor slowly turned around, looking confident. "I like to see you try," he said with a snort.
Winston smirked again, turning his head to the soldiers. "At ease," he told the soldiers who put their guns down.
"You rang, Prime Minister?" The Master asked, looking bored.
…..
It turns out that The Doctor ended up being a month late, typical. As they took a lift to the roof, Amy noticed that the roof was covered in sand bags and there was a man dressed in white and had an army helmet on.
"Wow," was all Amy said as she stared around in wonder.
Churchill smirked and gestured to the man in the white. "Doctor, this is Professor Edwin Bracewell. Head of our Ironsides Project," he introduced.
The Doctor held his right hand up and made a V with his fingers. The salute for victory.
Bracewell grinned and saluted back. "How do you do?" he asked before turning back to the planes in the sky.
Amy gasped in horror as she stared at the destruction in front of her. She bit her lip and turned to Rose. "Rose, it's… it's…."
"History?" The Master suggested, grunting when Rose elbowed him in the stomach.
Rose glared at him. "It's my home planet, remember? Stop being rude!" she scolded him.
"Ready, Bracewell?" Winston interrupted, talking to the scientist.
The scientist nodded. "Aye aye, sir," he shouted turning to face something that was hidden by a sandbags. "On my order, fire!"
There was a moment of silence when a familiar buzzing sound, followed by a beam of light came out from the sandbags. It's aim shot the German planes dead, turning them into dust.
"What was that?" Amy asked, looking to the Time Lords, only to see them looking in horror, disbelief and rage.
Rose turned to The Master. "That's impossible! I destroyed them all when I became Bad Wolf!" she said hysterically.
The Master pursed his lips. "Not all of them apparently," he argued bitterly, glaring at the sandbags.
The Doctor started to pace. "Rose is right though. It is impossible, especially when it's…" then he ran up the stairs. "Show me what that was!" he barked at Bracewell.
"Advance," Bracewell ordered to something with a smirk.
"Our new secret weapon," Winston said with a laugh.
Something came rolling out. It looked like a giant pepper shaker to Amy. She couldn't see what was so bad about it. It would help the war…. Right?
The Doctor walked up slowly. "What are you doing here?" he hissed, glaring at it.
Apparently not, Amy thought with slight disappointment.
"I am your soldier," the Dalek said
"What?" The Doctor hissed back.
"I am your soldier."
"Stop this. Stop now," The Doctor spat, bending down to the Dalek's eye stalk. "Now, you know who I am. You always know."
"Your identity is unknown…"
Rose stared at the Dalek in disbelief. How can it not know that it was The Doctor? Bracewell looked between the Dalek and The Doctor with unease. He decided to step in.
"Perhaps I can clarify things here. This is one of my Ironsides," Bracewell said, motioning to the Dalek.
Rose, The Master and The Doctor turned to Bracewell. "WHAT?" they shouted at the same time.
"You will help the Allied cause in any way that you can."
"Yes."
"Until the Germans have been utterly smashed."
"Yes."
"And what is your ultimate aim?"
"To win the war."
Rose turned to The Master. "Which war is it talking about?" she hissed.
The Master shrugged. "That's the million-dollar question Blondie," he replied.
Rose snorted, feeling slightly amused. "You're acting like Donna."
….
"They're Daleks!" The Doctor shouted, slamming his hand down on the files of Winston's desk. "They're called Daleks!"
Winston growled. "They are Bracewell's Ironsides, Doctor. Look. Blueprints, statistics, field tests, photographs. He invented them!" he argued.
"Invented them?" The Doctor repeated.
"Prime Minister, the Daleks have been around for eons. No one invented them unless they're called Davros," The Master added in, pacing around the room.
"They're dangerous. They destroy everything that isn't Daleks!" Rose added in.
"Bracewell approached one of our brass hats a few months ago. Fellow's a genius," Winston argued.
Amy smirked as she flipped through some files. "A Scottish genius, too. Maybe you should listen to…"
The Doctor held up his finger. "Shush," he hissed, making the room silent. "He didn't invent them. They're alien."
Winston raised an eyebrow. "Alien?"
Rose and The Master tensed as a Dalek rolled passed them. The Doctor glanced at it in the corner of his eye before turning back to the Prime Minister.
"And totally hostile," The Doctor added angrily.
Winston nodded sharply. "Precisely. They will win me the war," he agreed, turning a piece of paper over. It was a picture of a Dalek with the quote 'TO VICTORY' on it.
Winston was then called to the war room as they were walking down the corridor.
"Why won't you listen to me? Why did you call me in if you won't listen to me?" The Doctor asked.
Winston sighed. "When I rang you a month ago, I must admit I had my doubts. The Ironsides seemed too good to be true."
"Yes. Right. So destroy them," The Doctor said.
"Exterminate them," The Master added making Rose smirk.
"But imagine what I could do with a hundred. A thousand," Winston interrupted.
Rose tensed as a Dalek rolled down the corridor, holding a dispatched box. "Having a thousand Daleks isn't something to be proud of Prime Minister. It could result the end of the world. It almost did."
Winston ignored her and walked in. Amy was about to follow when The Doctor stopped her.
"Amy, tell him," The Doctor whispered.
Amy furrowed her eyebrows. "Tell him what?"
"About the Daleks."
Amy scoffed. "What would I know about the Daleks?"
Rose raised an eyebrow. "They invaded the earth a few months ago. Planets in the sky?" Rose tried but Amy remained clueless.
The Doctor grabbed Amy's arm. "Amy, tell me you remember the Daleks!"
Amy shook her head. "Nope, sorry."
The Doctor's eyes widened. "That's not possible," he whispered as he walked into the war room. Amy looked confused before she followed him.
Rose turned to The Master. "How could she forget about the Daleks?"
The Master pursed his lips, hands behind his back. "No one should ever forget about the Daleks. The most likely probability is the crack in her room."
….
The Doctor, Rose and The Master stood in a corner of the war room. The Master glared at the Daleks while The Doctor paced around.
Rose frowned. "They have to be planning something. What though?" she asked quietly.
Amy shrugged carelessly. "How bout I ask?" she suggested before walking up to a Dalek.
"Fire Cracker! Get back here!" The Master snapped.
Amy ignored him and tapped the base of a Dalek. Rose held her breath as the Dalek turned around, looking at Amy through its eyestalk.
"Can I be of assistance?"
Amy blinked before nodding. "Oh. Yes, yes. See, my friend's think that you're dangerous. That you're an alien. Is it true?"
"I am your soldier!"
Amy bit her lip, nodding slowly. "Yeah. Got that bit. Love a squaddie. What else, though?"
"Please excuse me. I have duties to perform!"
The Dalek rolled away and Amy walked slowly back to Rose and The Master.
Rose turned to The Master with a raised eyebrow. "Defiantly up to something."
"What though? Three Time Lords and it hasn't tried to take over the Earth. It should've recognized The Doctor in any case."
"Why?" Amy asked curiously.
Rose sighed. "You could say that the Daleks and The Doctor are enemies… arch enemies."
Amy bit her lip before she walked around, making The Master roll his eyes. Rose saw The Doctor and Winston arguing quietly. Winston said something before loud siren rang through the building which made everyone released a breath of relief. The Doctor glared at the Dalek in the rom as Winston spoke to a commanding officer.
Amy came over to them. "Guys, it's the all clear… you okay?" She asked The Doctor.
The Doctor pursed his lips, not tearing his eyes off the Dalek. "What does hate look like, Amy?"
"Hate?" Amy repeated, confused.
"… It looks like a Dalek… and I'm going to prove it," The Doctor replied before walking off.
….
The Doctor rushing off was something that Rose was used to. It wasn't hard to find him either. He ended up in the lab with the Scottish professor from before.
"How did you do it? Come up with the idea?" The Doctor asked, looking over some files.
"There you are!" Rose said walking into the room angrily, making The Doctor gulp nervously. Oh great… The infamous Tyler wrath is about to descend, he thought. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA ON HOW WORRIED I'VE BEEN! ESPECIALLY IN A ROOM FULL OF DALEKS! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" Rose shouted, making everyone watching her nervously.
"Well … trying to save the universe?" The Doctor said weakly, scratching his spikey brown hair.
The Master rolled his eyes. "When are you going to get it into your thick head that we are in this together?" he asked sarcastically.
The Doctor snorted. "And it took you a few centuries to even get back to the 'friend zone'."
Bracewell cleared his throat. "Doctor, to answer your question, how does the muse of invention come to anyone? Ideas just seem to teem from my head. Wonderful things, like. Let me show you. Some musings on the potential of hypersonic flight. Gravity bubbles that can sustain life outside of the terrestrial atmosphere. Came to me in the bath," he explained showing the Time Lord some blueprints.
"And are these your ideas or theirs?" The Doctor asked, not taking his eyes off the two Daleks in the room.
Bracewell shook his head. "Oh no, no, no. These robots are entirely under my control, Doctor. They are the perfect servant, and the perfect warrior," he replied, taking a cup of tea from one of the Daleks. Rose was surprised that it wasn't poisoned.
The Doctor slowly walked up to Bracewell with a scowl on his face. "I don't know what you're up to, Professor, but whatever they've promised, you cannot trust them. Call them what you like, the Daleks are death."
"Yes Doctor!" Winston growled walking into the room proudly. "Death to our enemies. Death to the forces of darkness, and death to the Third Reich!"
"And death to the universe as well, Prime Minister," The Master added snooping around in Bracewell's inventions.
"Would you care for some tea?" a Dalek asked, carrying a tray from it's plunger.
The Doctor growled, smacking the tray away. "Stop this! What are you doing here? What do you want?" he snapped.
"We seek only to help you."
The Master snorted. "That's a first. A Dalek helping, what's next, pigs flying?"
The Doctor rolled his eyes and decided to ignore him. "To do what?"
"To win the war."
"Which war?" Rose asked with a frown.
"I do not understand."
The Doctor sighed angrily. "This war, against the Nazis, or your war? The war against the rest of the Universe? The war against all life forms that are not Dalek?"
"I do not understand. I am your soldier."
The Doctor was getting annoyed. Clearly he wasn't getting anywhere by talking, it was time to take initiative. He picked up a red giant spanner and started to smack it against the Dalek.
"You do not require tea?"
"Doctor, what the devil? Please, these machines are precious!" Winston exclaimed.
The Doctor kept hitting the Dalek. "Come on. Fight back. You want to, don't you? You know you do! What are you waiting for? You want to kill me. Well, go on. Kill me. Kill me!" he shouted angrily.
"Doctor, be careful!" Amy cried, worriedly.
"Please desist from striking me. I am your soldier!"
The Doctor shook his head, tears of frustration brewing in his eyes. "You are my enemy! And I am yours. You are everything I despise. The worst thing in all creation. I've defeated you time and time again. I've defeated you. I sent you back into the Void. I saved the whole of reality from you. I am The Doctor. And you are the Daleks!" he yelled before kicking the Dalek, making it spin before it regained control.
The Dalek stopped before it turned to The Doctor. "Correct!" it said before turning to the second Dalek in the room. "Review testimony!"
"I am The Doctor. And you are the Daleks!"
The Doctor frowned, confused. "Testimony. What are you talking about, testimony?" he asked.
The Daleks ignored him. "Transmitting testimony now."
The Master raised an eyebrow and turned to Rose. "Five quid that their transmitting it to a Dalek ship?"
Rose snorted. "That's a suckers bet," she replied quietly.
"Transmit what? Where?" The Doctor asked, ignoring his companions.
"Testimony accepted!" the Dalek said.
"Get back, all of you," The Doctor said, grabbing Amy and Rose's hands, dragging them behind him and The Master.
But Winston had other ideas. "Marines! Marines, get in here," he shouted.
Two marines came rushing in, guns at the ready. The Daleks shot them dead, without a second thought.
Bracewell stepped forward, distressed. "Stop it, stop it, please. What are you doing? You are my Ironsides!" he said.
"We are the Daleks!"
"But I created you!"
"No" the Daleks cried before one of the Daleks blew off his hand. It was made of…. Wires? "We created you! Victory. Victory. Victory!" they chanted before teleporting away.
There was a moment of silence as everyone stared at either the robotic professor or the spot where the Daleks disappeared.
"What just happened, Doctor?" Amy asked quietly.
"I wanted to know what they wanted. What their plan was. I was their plan," The Doctor replied as his eyes widened before he ran out of he room.
Winston, Rose, Amy and The Master followed The Doctor through corridors, back to the Tardis.
"Testimony accepted. That's what they said. My testimony, to prove that they're Daleks," The Doctor said quickly as he fished out his key and shoved it in the lock.
Amy sighed. "Don't beat yourself up because you were right. So, what do we do? Is this what we do now? Chase after them?" she asked excitedly.
The Doctor nodded, looking grim. "This is what I do. yeah, and it's dangerous, so you wait here with Rose."
Rose scowled. "I destroyed most of the Daleks and you want me to stay with Amy?"
"In the middle of the London Blitz!" Amy added, slightly annoyed.
The Doctor shrugged. "Safe as it gets around me," he replied before walking into the Tardis. Rose turned to The Master who sighed and raised her eyebrow.
"Alright, alright! I'll keep him from getting himself killed," he huffed before walking in, shutting the door, just as the Tardis began to dematerialize.
There was a moment of silence before Amy sighed, annoyed.
"What does he expect us to do now?" Amy asked.
"KBO of course," Winston grunted, blowing out a puff from his cigar.
Rose coughed before waving the smoke away. "What?"
"Keep Buggering On!" Winston explained, giving them a pointed look.
