The Doctor and The Negotiator Ch.9
The Doctor scurried through the closests and storage rooms of his Tardis for a special sort of item device.
"Those chattery rust buckets are at it again eh?"said the Master. "Amazing how many of your bad pennies show up eh,Doctor?"
"Indeed."said the Doctor as he ruffled through his sections to find the device.
"Ah-ha!"he replied,finding the device.
He pulled out a rifle like device with a long barrel and was colored a plastic white and a knob on the top of it.
"It's been awhile since I used this on Xist,the planet of fire and magma."he said. "My cryo-rifle."
"Yes,not bad--for another alien piece of equipment."said the Master. "But will it be effective against the Cybermen?"
"It's strong enough to freeze anything solid and mobile in place."said the Doctor. "So hopefully it should work on the Cybers.
But,before I continue I want you to punch up the coordinates to find and scan the location of the local scrap yard."
The Master went to the Tardis console and did so,and upon the larger video monitor that hung above it,an x-ray image of the Paradigm scrap yard appeared upon it.
"Good,good."said the doc. "Now,scan towards it's underground foundations."
The scanner moved downaward and there below was the skematical desings of the Cybermen's ship.
"Hmmm.."said the Master."It would appear that their vessel--has been built and integrated beneath that building somehow."
"Yes,this must've happened long ago somehow and no one around here in Paradigm never even knew it--at least until it was too late for the dwellers who worked here that is."
"And,what do you intend to do with that--freeze gun you have in your posession?"said the Master.
"Simple,I intend to use it to freeze away any Cybermen when I work my way back into their lair. My main intention is to find the Cyber Controller--assuming they have one this time. And shut him and everything down with it."
"Sounds simple enough you mean,but there's no telling what the Cybers have up their mechanical sleeves this time."said the Master.
"I'm only aware of that."said the Doctor. "But what's to be done,I must stop them."
"Yes,can't find anything better to do these days in the cosmos eh?'said the Master.
"Shush won't you?"said the Doctor."Well,i'm off,keep the fires burning for me won't you,if there is any."
"Will do."said the Master.
The Doctor then went back through the doors and took off into the streets to fight the enemy once more.
"Ass in every way,that's what you are."said the Master. "Oh,one day--I shall be free..someday--somehow!"
While back at Paradigm Police HQ.
"It's a little hard to believe there,Roger."said Datsun. "But I guess after what's been going on around here and there lately,maybe we could send in several of our men."
"Best do it quickly as possible."said Roger. "We got a truckload of these Cyber guys down there!"
After that,Roger went back out to his Griffon and saw the Doctor running past.
"Hey,Doc--wait a minute!"he called out.
"Eh--ah-Roger,give me a ride won't you?"said Doc.
"Sure but--"as Roger began.
On the way back to the yard,the Doctor explained what he was about to do.
"A freeze gun...?'said Roger. "That's hard to swallow.
"You'll see,trust me."said the Doctor. "But we haven't a moment to spare,the Cybermen must be stopped!"
Roger's Griffon arrived at the yard and the Doctor got out.
"I'm afraid I can't ask you along with me on this again,Roger."he said. "I've got to go in alone."
"Okay--but--be careful will ya? You've been a pretty good guy to know in my line of work."said Roger.
"You as well."said the Doctor. "And if we don't meet again,it was a pleasure."
"Likewise."said Roger as he and the Doctor shook hands.
The Doctor then took back off to the yard and Roger took off down the street in his Griffon.
"Eccentric as hell,but brave guy nonetheless."he thought. "I get the feeling--he really is not from around here."
While back at Dr.Burnsworth's lair,the evil scientist was working out a new plan to revive his fallen megaduese and attach the newly acquired Cybermen technology with it.
He placed together a small remote device with a short antenna attached to the top.
"Once I get close enough to where they have my precious Sheeva stored."he said. "I shall revive her and integrate these firearms into her systems--and become more powerful than ever,HAHAHA!"
Back at the scrap yard,the Doctor quietly began to sneak in,but before he could make it to the back door he came out of--
"SPRIING!"
One of the robotic spiders jumped at him,hitting him in the chest,knocking him to the ground.
"WHAT THE--GET AWAY!"cried the Doctor as he swatted the spider off of him.
"Dreadful creatures,mechanical or otherwise!"
But before he could get up again,he saw two Cybermen standing over him.
"Oh uh--greetings chaps."he said. "How are you this evening?"
"You-will come--with us--at once,Doctor!"said the Cyberman on the left.
Before the Doctor could aim his gun,they both lunged at him,capture was imminent.
