Dwalin. Gloin. Durin. Thorin. The three Dwarf Lords of Rhûn. The Seven Dwarf Lords all sat in a circle. They sharpened their axes, and discussed matters of war. In the caverns of the High Pass beneath them, an army of five thousand dwarfs drilled. They were all outfitted in mithril armor due to new discoveries. But soon enough, Dalek Y's ship was just above them. And they were equipped with thronic missiles.

"All Daleks. Deploy. The Dwarves are training- they will not be expecting an attack! You can expect an easy surrender. Dwarves are not as skilled combatants as men- if we demolished ten thousand men, we can slaughter five thousand dwarves!" commanded Dalek Y. They swarmed into the Mountain.

"What the- it's an ambush! All Dwarves, to arms! Prepare to defend yourself against the Dalek intruders!" cried out one of the captains. They raised axes and began throwing their throwing axes, which glanced off the Daleks harmlessly. The lasers started firing- but the Dwarves had mithril, unlike the Men. And mithril was the only substance that Dalek lasers could not penetrate.

Both sides had nearly no casualties. The fighting went on for hours and hours and hours. The Dwarf Lords tried to rally their forces while the Daleks continually put the pressure on. But slowly, the Daleks were winning. Not by getting casualties, but they were researching. They had plans- the Dwarves were just defending.

"Master. Our new research project shows that mithril enhanced beams can penetrate their mithril. We are contacting Dalek Z for shipments immediately. When they arrive, I suggest you recall all Daleks," said one of the Daleks to Dalek Y.

"I DO NOT CARE! THE DWARVES WILL DIE! DALEK Z MUST DELIVER IMMEDIATELY!" boomed Dalek Y in anger.

"Dalek Z has taken a heavy hit against some colossal being from the depths. The mithril shipment may take time… there is another option. We can use the thronic missiles to blow the mountain, Dwarves inside, to shreds. But that will destroy all their valuable mithril that they have harvested for us," said the Dalek.

"FINE! GET DALEK Z!" cried Dalek Y, before he went back to the battle.
