The Doctor and the Negotiator ch.10
Roger arrived back at the Paradigm police station and explained everything to Datsun.
"And you expect us to believe this stuff?"said Datsun.
"Yeah,I know it's sounds hard to believe,"said Roger. "But down at the scrap yard,you'll find the answers you need in what has been happening with the events surrounding the disappearance and re-appearance of steel workers from there.
As well as the why's to what happened before when I found that steel worker who disintegrated himself."
"Okay then.."said Datsun. ..i'll send a few squad cars down to the location. But you'd better be right about this."
"Trust me."said Roger. "And my er--friend the Doctor can back me up on this as well."
But at that very exact moment,in the Cybermen's lair...
The Doctor himself was taken to the control room of the Cyber-Controller himself.
He was larger than all the other Cybers and his body was seated upon a metallic throne with tubes,conduits and circuit hoses attached to his arms,shoulder and back.
"So..."he spoke in a deep and metallic voice. "...we meet again,dreaded Time Lord."
"Yes,we do at that,Controller."said the Doctor. "I figured i'd run into your lot again sooner or later,but not you.
Anyways,mind telling me how you,the Cybermen and this underground parlor..all ended up in this--city?"
"Very well."said the Controller.
"About three years ago...we had a run-in with a Dalek Imperial ship.
We had taken something that they--were going to take for themselves."
"I wonder what pray tell that could've been?"thought the Doctor.
"A precious mineral deposit that would empower our spaceships and such further."said the Controller.
"But unofrtunately,the Daleks came after us when we obtained it.
The chase then turned into an all out battle and our ship obtained heavy damage.
When suddenly,we fell across and into a strange black hole while escaping from the Daleks.
We crash landed into a strange sewere system behind a vast and decrepid looking city.
My cybermen and I decided to set up a temporary HQ to the nearest building location that would suit most of our needs."
"And that--I take it
would be the local scrap and metal yeard here?"said the
Doctor.
"Yes."said the Controller. "It was a matter
of child's play before we secured the area and subdued the humans
controlling it for our purposes.
While here,we discovered that there was a major and powerful form of--robotics--and cybertechnology behind this city."
A screen near them then suddenly flicked to life and there upon was a battle between a pair of giant robots.
One of them the Doctor recognized.
it was the BIG O.
The other was a strange looking red one with a deep hole in it from battle.
The Big O made fast work of it and then the image shifted to another image of Big O fighting other robots.
"We have learned."said the Controller. "That this technology is called--Megaduese technology.
A technology to create great and powerful robots.
Think of what power that can do to help the Cybernen?"
"I--can scarecely imagine."said the Doctor. "Well,you won't get away with it,I promise you.
I informed one of the locals here about your scheme and their--military police will be on your arses in a matter of minutes."
"That shall not deter us from our objectives,Doctor."said the Controller.
"We are prepared to handle any occurances of trouble. When we are done aquiring the right type of megadeuse technology--the Cybermen shall be triumphant!
You unfortunately will not be around to witness it.
Take him to the converter room at once for conversion!"
"Yes,controller."said the Cybermen.
"Oh dear."said the Doctor as he was taken by the arms to their dreaded Cyber conversion room.
While above the surface,Roger,Datsun and the rest of the Military police had arrived at the srap yard and were going in by force.
"Be careful when you go in."said Roger. "There were some deadly traps here when the Doctor and me came here."
Datsun nodded and informed his men to do the same.
He then took the front door and opened it carefully.
Looking around,they saw no sign so far of anything suspicious.
"All right men."he said quietly. "Move in,but carefully,and watch for anything to happen."
The police moved in carefully across the front steps and walkway leading to the front door.
"Okay men."he said. "Move in!"
The first group of military police kicked open the door and brandished their pistols.
"POLICE--FREEZE!"they shouted.
Suddenly,they were taken assunder by a series of laser blasts.
"WHAT THE HELL?"said Datsun.
"We're too late!"said Roger. "They were expecting us!"
Standing before them was a small but heavilly armed group of Cybermen.
"Surrender at once humans!"said the lead cyber,whose head casing was colored black.
"Your weaponry is primitive compared to our own,you will be killed."
"Like hell we'll surrender!"said Datsun. "Men--open fire!"
The rest of the police fired away at the Cybermen,but their bullets bounced off their body armor casing.
"Damn it!"said Roger. "Typical bulletproofing and armor!
How the hell does that doc guy deal with these monsters?"
Suddenly,just before anyone else could open fire,the entire roof was torn open!
"WHAT!"replied everyone in unison.
Standing over top of them all was the same giant four armed Sheeva Megadeuse that Big O fought and defeated earlier.
It was back,with a vengance and was armed with a couple of new blasters.
"HEAR ME PITIFUL HUMANS AND CYBERMEN ALIKE!"spoke the voice of it's creator Dr.Burnsworth. "SHEEVA HAS RETURNED ONCE MORE! THIS TIME I SHALL DESTROY YOU ALL--HAHAHA!"
"Ah man..."thought Roger. "..this is not looking good."
NEXT:ROGER MUST FREE THE DOCTOR FROM THE CYBERMEN'S CLUTCHES AND THEN CALL ON THE BIG O ONCE AGAIN! ALL THIS
