(Doctor Who Intro)
Episode 2: Within the Shadows
TARDIS Interior
Roxxy: So we have a Time-Space ship, where would we like to go guys?
Walter: I don't know…. There's a lot of options…
Bridget: Not for me, I wanna see an actual spaceship…
Doctor: OI, don't diss my TARDIS! She's sensitive!
Yale: You have a Time-Space machine with feelings, that's something you don't see or hear everyday…
Doctor: It's not always like that… (to the console) just ignore the mean little humans…
Bridget: Excuse me, I am a faunus…
Doctor: A what?
Roxxy: A faunus, part human part animal…. There's a lot on our planet…. I'm part faunus….
Doctor: No you're not…. You can't be…
Roxxy: Part bullet ant…. I can lift things 100 times my weight…. Can also punch things nearly 30 feet with an average jab…
Walter: It's true…. She did…
(Yale clears his throat)
Walter: Right…. Sorry…
Yale: Don't faunus have night vision?
Doctor: Goggles?
Bridget: No, our eyes let us see in the dark without any tech…
Doctor: That is fascinating…. No wonder why you can see everything!
Bridget: not everything…. I can't see through walls.
(The console starts beeping)
Yale: Doctor, what's up with the console?
Doctor: Don't know, but it probably isn't good…
(The Doctor goes to the projection monitor)
Doctor: That's interesting…. Haven't done this in a while…
(The Doctor moves around the console)
Roxxy: Done what?
Doctor: Answered a distress call…
(The Doctor pulls levers and flips switches)
(She pulls the space time throttle)
Vermilion space station, 4879
(The TARDIS materializes in a cargo hold)
(The Doctor exits the TARDIS)
(The four follow)
Roxxy: Doctor, where are we?
Doctor: A spaceship…. To be more precise, 49th century space station…. Vermilion…
Bridget: Oh my God, it's a real spaceship!
Doctor: A space station, even better…
Yale: Quite roomy for a cargo bay…
Walter: How can you tell?
Yale: Cause… it says it on the wall, see, "Cargo bay"...
Doctor: Very observant Yale Goka…
Roxxy: He has ADHD, so he looks around the place a lot…
Doctor: Well fam… let's see where that distress call came from…
Bridget: Fam?
Doctor: Just come on…. Let's get our shift on...
(The Doctor and the teens walk through the corridors towards the bridge)
(The five get to the bridge, where they're greeted by a few guns pointed towards them)
Doctor: Hello…. Sorry, is this a bad time?
(The other four put their hands up)
(The Doctor looks behind her)
Doctor: Why are you four raising your hands?
Bridget: Are you crazy?! They have guns pointed at us!
?: Who are you five?! Where did you come from?!
(The Doctor pulls out her Psychic paper and shows it to the crew)
Doctor: Ship inspections, we came because of a distress call….
?2: Does that mean we'll be extracted?
Roxxy: Extracted? Why?
?3: They hide in the shadows, waiting for us!
Walter: What?
Bridget: What do you mean? Who's after you?
(Small pause)
Doctor: Vashta Nerada…
Yale: What?!
Doctor: Creatures that live in the dark, and have a favorable taste for flesh…
Roxxy: Well, that's motivation for not turning off the lights…
Doctor: The Vashta Nerada on your planet are more tame, feeding off the roadkill you bury in the ground.
Bridget: That makes me feel a lot better… I said sarcastically…
Roxxy: Doctor, If these creatures live in the shadows, why haven't they gotten us already?
Doctor: They need that sweet spot of darkness in order to feed off the flesh.
Walter: So just avoid the dark, that's useful!
Doctor: Do you have a main generator?
?: You noticed?
Doctor: Yeah, I noticed you were running on emergency backup power, and you don't have much left…
Bridget: Oh that's comforting!
Roxxy: Can you tell us where it is?
?3: Why should we trust you?
Doctor: We are the only ones who can save you from the Vashta… so you don't have much of a choice…
?: It's on this level, but it's blocked off by the shadows…
Doctor: Don't worry… I have a light controller…
(The Doctor pulls out her Sonic screwdriver)
Doctor: Roxxy, Walter, with me, you two, stay with the crew until we get back…
Yale: Ok… so long as we aren't stranded here… you remember…
Doctor: yes I know! Just stay here till we get back!
Bridget: Ok…
(The three walk towards the generator room)
Random corridor
Roxxy: Doctor?
Doctor: Yes?
Roxxy: You said we're in the 49th century, so we're in the far future?
Doctor: Long way from home isn't it?
Walter: That means we've been dead for nearly 16 centuries…
Doctor: That's time travel for you… you either find a finite past or an infinite many futures…
Roxxy: So is this a part of our future?
Doctor: Not really… more of the future of earth from th 42nd century… you two are from the 33rd…
Walter: Earth… but that's….
Doctor: You two are from Remnant… also known as Earth 2.0…
Roxxy: Wow… that's awesome.
(The lights turn off one by one behind them)
Walter: Doctor? Why are the lights going out?
(The Doctor turns her head around)
Doctor: No time for that, RUN!
(The three run towards the generator room)
(The three get to the room, the Doctor turns on the lights and shuts the door behind them)
Doctor: That was close…
Roxxy: A little too close…
Walter: Um guys?
(Walter points both of the girls heads towards the two spacemen suits coming around the corner)
Doctor: Oh, hello, we didn't noticed there were more crew…
(The skeleton heads of the spacemen in the suits hit the helmets)
Roxxy: Doctor… they're skeletons!
Doctor: No they're not… they're Vashtas animating the bodies, Run up the ladder!
(Walter and the Doctor run up the ladder, Roxxy is a little too slow and Runs away from the ladder)
Walter: ROSE!
Doctor: Again with the name, It's Roxxy!
Roxxy: Wally, Doctor! You find a way to stop the Vashtas, I'll distract them!
(Roxxy runs from the spacemen)
Walter: Doctor what do we do? We can't just leave her there!
Doctor: Look!
(The Doctor points to a neutral area in the room)
Doctor: I we can brighten up the area over there, we might be able to draw out the Vashtas and kill the animated spacemen…
Walter: How do you suppose we do that?
Doctor: With this!
(The Doctor pulls out her Sonic screwdriver)
Walter: Right… the Sonic…
Doctor: Roxxy! Run to the neutral corner, I can stop them from there!
Roxxy: OK!
(Roxxy runs towards the corner)
Roxxy: Ok, what now?!
(The Vashtas walk over to where Roxxy is)
Roxxy: Doctor?
(The Vashtas get closer)
Roxxy: Doctor?!
(They get closer)
Roxxy: DOCTOR!
Doctor: NOW!
(The Doctor activates the lights with her screwdriver)
(The spacemen collapse)
(The Doctor and Walter run up to Roxxy)
Roxxy: Cut it closer why don't ya!
(Roxxy smacks the Doctors arm)
Doctor: ow, Oi, I just saved your life!
Roxxy: At the last second!
Walter: Hey, will you both stop it? We have a generator to power up…
(The Doctor and Roxxy look at Walter)
Doctor: Right… sorry…
(The Doctor walks up to the generator)
Doctor: Ok… right, time to fix this thing, and get rid of the Vashta Nerada….
Roxxy: How? I doubt a generator can get rid of the Vashta…
Doctor: I know, but one thing at a time…
(The Doctor jump-starts the generator with the screwdriver)
Doctor: He-hey, results!
Roxxy: Now, let's go get Brig and Yale…
Doctor: one question, why do you call Bridget Brig?
Roxxy: When we were little, we both lost our dads… and they called us our little nicknames, Rosie Redhood and Brig Violet….
Doctor: So that's why you cried in the lecture hall…
Roxxy: I lost mine through a lab incident…
Doctor: Ironic, you're a scientist who lost her father to science…
Roxxy: Yeah, I guess…. Brig lost her dad from a rally incident… you see, the faunus are still under the boot of racism… they fight everyday to close the gap between humans and faunus…
Walter: My mom made a huge step by removing 50% of the faunus work force from the mines and moved them into more governmental, militaristic, even company work… Brig's mom is head of the white fang, a peace group who thrives off of keeping peace between humans and faunus…
Doctor: For God sake, just when I think that humans were more evolved, they surprise me with how stupid they are!
Walter: Hey!
Doctor: not you, everyone else…. I get that my people weren't much better than all the other species, but at least we accepted others for what they were, regardless of what color or gender they were, and religion they had!
Roxxy: Speaking of which…. You're an alien, right?…. What species are you?
(The Doctor looks at Roxxy)
Roxxy: I mean you look human…
Doctor: I'll tell you when we get back into the TARDIS…
Vermilion space station, bridge
(The Doctor and the others enter the bridge)
Doctor: Right, power's back on, but the Vashtas are still here…
?2: You mean those creatures are still here?!
Roxxy: But we might be able to beat them if we find out what drew then here in the first place…
Walter: The Vashta are attracted to sources of immense power…. Do you three have any idea what that could be?
(Long silent pause)
Yale: Well c'mon, there has to be something in this tin building to attract the Vashta Nerada!
?3: The Protonic Warp Drive, in case of emergencies, it's used to jettison us to the next galaxy!
Bridget: Sorry, but we never go your names…
Dillon: Dillon Farmill, I'm the captain…
Finnie: Finnie Altro, I'm the general pilot…
Vix: I'm Vix, the engineer…
Roxxy: Hang on, did you say "Protonic"?
Vix: Yes?
Roxxy: Doctor…
Doctor: Yes?
Roxxy: Hand me the Sonic…
Doctor: why?
Roxxy: I know protonic generator systems, if I can reverse the polarity of the engines, the feedback would theoretically pull the Vashtas back into whatever dimension they emerged from!
Doctor: Making so that it would look like they were never here in the first place!
Roxxy: Exactly!
(The Doctor hands Roxxy the Sonic screwdriver)
Doctor: Don't lose it, it's very hard to replace…
Roxxy: I'll try not to… so, point and click?
Doctor: Telepathic controls, you think, then click!
Roxxy: Ok, thanks… C'mon Vix!
(Roxxy and Vix run through the corridors)
Doctor: Right…. Back to the TARDIS…
Bridget: Wait, we're leaving?!
Walter: Without Rose?!
Doctor: Not exactly… you'll see in a minute…
Yale: Doctor, She's my cousin, why aren't you stopping her?!
Doctor: Normally, when people say they have a plan, they have a plan, with me, I make it up as I go, and hope for the best!
(The Doctor runs back to the cargo bay)
(The rest follow)
Protonic Warp Engine room
(Roxxy and Vix get to the main engine)
(The Vashta Nerada animated spacemen slowly follow them)
Vix: They're comin!
Roxxy: Hang on, So, you remember when the Doctor said that doing this would be like the Vashtas were never here?
Vix: Yeah?
Roxxy: Well, that's because reversing the polarity of a Protonic Warp engine this size would create a blackhole!
Vix: WHAT?!
Roxxy: Now shut up a minute!
(The Vashtas get closer)
(Roxxy and Vix run up towards the power converter)
Roxxy: Give me a minute, after that, pray we don't die!
Vix: And what if we die?!
Roxxy: We'll be dead you idiot! why would you need to worry when you're dead?
(The Vashtas get closer)
(Roxxy activates the Sonic screwdriver)
(She points it towards the panel)
(The panel opens up)
(Vix sees the Vashtas getting closer)
Vix: They're comin!
(Roxxy points the screwdriver at the wires and reverses the polarity)
Roxxy: GOT IT!
(Roxxy looks behind her)
Roxxy: Oh…. Well, not how I pictured me dying, but better than what I did picture…
Vix: That's it, we're done for!
(Roxxy and Vix hear the TARDIS materialize)
Roxxy: On the contrary, we're saved by the one woman who will always save humanity!
(The TARDIS materializes around the two)
Doctor: Hang on Fam!
(The Doctor pulls the space time throttle)
(The TARDIS dematerializes from the space station)
(The space station implodes, causing a blackhole)
Dilison, human colony planet
(The TARDIS materializes in front of the space fleet command building)
(The three crew members exit the TARDIS)
Dillon: You know, this is gonna be hard to explain to our superiors…
Doctor: Just tell them The Doctor saved you… along with her new fam…
Bridget: Can you please not call us that?
Roxxy: Hey, I like it…
Yale: I don't mind…
Walter: Me neither…
(Bridget groans)
Doctor: Just take care of each other you three, make each other feel special, and loved…
Vix: Thank you, Doctor….
Doctor: Anytime…
(The Doctor sticks her head back into the box)
(The TARDIS dematerializes)
TARDIS Interior
Doctor: So…. Where to next?
Walter: You know, this may be a Spaceship, but I think I'd like to see another time…
Doctor: When….?
Walter: Far back… very far back…
Doctor: Right then…. Time to get our shift on….
(The Doctor pulls the space time throttle)
