The doctors made their way to a hiding place, behind some boulders. It was just out of sight enough that the daleks wouldn't notice. The daleks seemed to have been busy anyway, hunting for survivors.
"So, a dalek battlefield and rescuing survivors that don't want rescuing. Simple things to do." Thirteen said
"There must be a plan you have, you've done all this, think,what did we do to get out of here?"
"Something genius. I'm guessing."
The doctors could hear the sound of the metal machines, the destroyers getting closer. They couldn't hide from the destroyers, they would spot them,killing machines perfected to kill anyone. Killing was their motive for anything.
A shadow started looming, a round metal machine with one eyestalk. The shadow started getting closer and the doctors, saw themselves trapped with a dalek,
"So, go on exterminate us, you might find out it's timeless. You get that joke soon enough, old man."
"We will not exterminate you this time."
"Come again?" Thirteen said.
"I have the subjects known as the twice people. We can not exterminate the twice people, it's in the prophecy"
"You have two of your arch nemesis and you're scared to exterminate because of a story? What kind of story makes a dalek have nightmares?" Twelve said.
"What is the story of the Twice people. Why is everyone so scared about us, the citizens, the daleks? Why can't I remember any of what we have done?" Thirteen said, confused
""Now that I have the twice people, the prophecy dictates that I take them to the valve, where the story will be told to it's subject to stop it."
The dalek lead the doctors to a cave that was right in the centre of Hovox. It was a cave that was still standing, no rubble around it.
"The valve can't be destroyed, it must stay standing for luck to be on our side."
"Daleks believing in luck, now that's a first." Twelve said.
"It is our strategy to exterminate the twice people."
Inside the cave there was just a table with two rocks.
"Sit, grey on the left, blonde on the right."
The doctors did as they were told.
"What exactly is this twice people superstition? Why does it have you, of all creatures scared?" Twelve said
Before the dalek could answer, there was a thump of footsteps. A face emerged into the valve
"No, no no i'm too late" said a faint whisper. It was a boy,looked no more than sixteen earth years.
"Get away from here, there's the deadliest machine in the universe and you're standing in front of it." Thirteen said.
"The destroyers can't destroy in the sacred valve. It's in the legend. The legend that's wrong, the twice people aren't to be scared of but by the destroyer entering the valve, the chain has started."
"A chain of events, I presume. I'm somewhat of a expert in time and the future isn't set in stone. A superstition can't do anything except create worry." Twelve said.
"Time is just is. I see all, I can change it but I tried. I really tried."
"You can see into the future, that's just brilliant, you can help us defeat the destroyers."
"It's not that simple. To destroy them, you have to destroy Hovox too.
