"Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!"

The battle for Amon Lanc had began. The Daleks would undoubtedly win unless the Doctor returned with some form of help. But I knew if I was to die on this day, I would die killing Daleks. I drew forward my bow and ran forward while nocking a mithril arrow. That's when the first volley was launched. I looked up as several Daleks were impacted. They seemed to fly out of control and crash onto the ground. Who knows how many Elves those crashes would kill. I fired my arrow and looked around, seeing the Elven casualties.

"My vision is impaired! I cannot see! Aghghgh!" screamed the Dalek I'd hit as it plummeted to the ground. But each Dalek casualty didn't matter. They were swarming everywhere and so many Elves were being destroyed. The Daleks were winning.

"Exterminate them all!" declared one Dalek. Clearly it was leading the charge. I nocked an arrow and let it loose aimed directly at that Dalek's dome.

Time seemed to slow down as the Dalek realised the arrow was inbound. It didn't even try to move - it would've been too slow anyhow - but merely waited. The arrow grew nearer, and nearer. I held my breath.

"Exterminate!" The Dalek fired, blasting the arrow into thousands of pieces. My shot failed. I tried to grab another arrow but I had to tumble to the side as Dalek fire was overwhelming. That's when I heard the voice of Thranduil boom.

"Fall back to the council room! I repeat - fall back! We are retreating! We can hopefully maintain stability inside!" I ran back to the council room, following Thranduil's orders. Once there, one hundred elves crammed into a small space with a few human and dwarf survivors. I looked around.

"Where is Celibana?"

"She's not here, so… she's outside," said Thranduil.

"WHAT?" said both me and Celeborn at the exact same time.

"She's most likely already did. We need you, Lasdir," said Thranduil.

"Not as much as she needs me right now!" I replied.

"Go get her. She's my daughter and she needs saving. Anyway, she should still have enough energy to make a half decent shield around this room," said Celeborn.

I leapt outside and there were Daleks everywhere. That's when the shield formed behind me. Celeborn must be convincing all the Elves to channel their energy as one to make a shield. I knew it didn't have much time before collapsing without Celibana's potent magic amplifying its strength. I leapt aside from one Dalek's blast and ran, using my reflexes and magic to help dodge their beams.

"Exterminate!" The cry was almost driving me insane. Finally, I found her. She was unconscious, barely a few feet from where I'd left her. I grabbed her and leapt behind an alleyway, buying a brief few seconds.

Those brief few seconds were spent looking at her beautiful face, before I tried to wake her up. The Daleks were coming.

"Seek, locate, and destroy!" "Exterminate!" "Destroy the enemies of the Daleks!"

Their war cries would not stop. And they only grew louder as the Daleks grew closer.

"Lasdir… is… is that you?" she asked, barely awake.

"Yes, it's me. This is the end, Celibana."

"... What do you… mean?"

"Unless you can perform some magic to save us, the Daleks will kill us both."

"I can't… not right now… too… weak…"

Two Daleks came around the side, and each raised their blasters. I could almost hear them breathing. It was a weird whir that I had never quite heard before. But Daleks, obviously, could not be alive. They were literally made of metal.

"EXTERMINATE!"

Two lasers flew towards me and Celibana - and that's when it appeared. A blue box fell from the sky and blocked the lasers before colliding with the two Daleks, destroying them. The door opened, revealing an incredibly large room, and there stood the Doctor, with two other figures. I immediately recognised them as two people presumed dead since the start of the Dalek invasion - Legolas and Gimli.

"You've got to get in. Trust me - I'm the Doctor."
