"I am a human Dalek"
"These humans" the Human Dalek said waving a hand to Martha, Frank and the other humans "prepare them for hybridisation" the human pig hybrids shuffled towards Martha and the others menacingly when some soft jazz music filled the air.
"What is that?" the Human Dalek asked looking around.
"Oh that would be me" Rose said swaying her hips to the music "hello, do you remember me"
"It is the Abomination" one of the daleks grated out.
"Oh that's a nice way to greet an old friend" Rose said sarcastically. "Blimey it has been a while, well for me only hmm… ten months? How long has it been for you four?"
"Only a year" the Human Dalek rasped staring at Rose intensely "you have changed. You have evolved like I have"
"Yeah evolution is nasty that way isn't it?" Rose said smirking slightly "we should have a club, the evolved united or something"
"Are you alone or is the Doctor lurking in the shadows leaving you to do his dirty work" the Human Dalek sneered.
Rose's smirk faded instantly "you have no right to speak his name"
"He's dead isn't he? Died in the middle of his own slaughter"
"Oh no he's still alive. Speaking of which how did you and your little gang escape?"
"Emergency Temporal Shift"
"Ah, sneaky little buggers aren't you? But you're human now, well part human. How does it feel? To have emotions?" Rose asked hoping that he like the dalek she met so long ago when the Doctor had blue eyes and big ears, will feel remorse and stop the killings.
I feel Humanity"
"That's good" Rose said.
"I feel everything we wanted for mankind, which is ambition, hatred, aggression and war"
"No, that's not what humanity means" Rose said shaking her head.
"I think it does"
"Trust me Sec I've been human, humanity means caring about others, being loved, falling in love, happiness, living life day by day, dancing to music. Speaking of which this radio plays lovely music and if I just change the setting just like this…"
A loud high pitch squeal echoed into the room and Sec covered his ears screaming while the other daleks went to protect him. Rose grabbed hold of Martha's hand and shouted run on the top of her voice as she ran down the tunnel.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
These daleks sound like the stuff of nightmares" Solomon said gravely staring into the fire. "And they want to breed?"
"They're splicing themselves onto human bodies and if I'm right, then they've got a large breeding stock right here in Hooverville. You've got to get everyone out"
"Hooverville's the lowest place a man can fall. There's nowhere else to go" Solomon argued.
"I'm sorry Solomon, you've got to scatter, go anywhere, get on the rail roads, travel across state, just get out of New York" Rose said "if you don't they'll capture you and turn you into foul things, forcing you to become a killer"
"There's got to be a way to reason with these things"
"No there's not. They don't negotiate"
"Surely there must be something they want"
"All of you dead" Rose snarled "Daleks are bad enough at any time, but right now they're vulnerable. That makes them more dangerous than ever"
Suddenly there was a shout from the tree line "They're coming. They're coming"
"A sentry must have seen something" Solomon said getting up.
"They're here, I've seen them, they're monsters" the terrified man said that was now running into the camp
All around the camp the men picked up their weapons and moved together in the circle that they had formed around Solomon, Rose, Martha, Frank and Tallulah who was just plain scared.
"We need to get out of the park" Martha said.
"We can't" Frank said "They're on all sides. They're driving everyone back towards us"
The men from the camps outskirts were driven back to the centre. The daleks came, there were only two them and Frank stepped forwards and pointed his gun at one of the Daleks and shot, but nothing happened.
Rose pushed the gun down. "That won't work".
The daleks suddenly began to attack the camp.
All around there were fires and people screaming, they didn't know how many fatalities there were yet but suddenly the daleks eventually stopped the attack. "The humans will surrender"
"Leave them alone" Rose shouted.
Solomon stepped forwards, Rose grabbed him "No, Solomon, stay back!"
"I'm told that I'm addressing the daleks is that correct?" he paused "From what I hear, you're outcasts too"
"Solomon, don't"
"Miss Tyler, this is my township, you will respect my authority" he pushed Rose away from him. "Just let me try".
Solomon stepped forwards again holding up his weapon as a gesture of surrender "daleks, aren't we the same? Underneath, aren't we all kin?" he put down his gun down "Cause, you see, I've just discovered that, just this very day, that God's universe is a thousand times bigger than I thought it was and that scares me . Oh yeah, terrifies me right down to the bone. But surely it's got to give me hope, hope that maybe together; we can make a better tomorrow. So I beg you right now, if you have any compassion in your hearts, then you'll meet with us and stop this fight. Well?" he paused "What do you say?"
"EX-TERMINATE!" the green coloured light came from the daleks gun and hit Solomon right over his heart, Rose dropped to her knees beside him and closed his eyes. "I'm so sorry but I tried to warn you" she whispered in his ear.
"They killed him" Martha said disgusted. "They just killed him on the spot" by this point Frank was beside Solomon as well
"Daleks" Rose snarled getting up on to her feet. "Alright then, so it's my turn. Then kill me. Kill me if it will stop you killing these people"
The Daleks aimed their weapons at her and Rose closed her eyes thinking I am so sorry Martha, I am so sorry Doctor but I can't do this without you.
"EX-TERMINATE!" nothing happened and she opened her eyes to see the daleks hovering in silence.
"What's going on?" she asked the daleks.
"You will follow" one of the daleks said.
"No you can't" Martha shrieked reaching out for Rose.
"I've got to, the daleks just change their minds, and daleks never change their minds"
"What about us?" Martha asked, gesturing at the people of Hooverville that surrounded them
"One condition" Rose said staring right up at the eye piece of the dalek. "If I come with you, you spare the lives of everyone here. Do you hear me?"
"Humans will be spared, Bad Wolf will follow"
"No!" Martha shouted grabbing a fistful of Rose's hoodie. "Don't go!"
"Martha Jones, Dr Martha Jones. It was such a pleasure meeting you" Rose said pulling the woman into a hug and shoving something in her hand. "Make me proud"
She then pulled away and followed the daleks leaving a confused medical student who was staring at the psychic paper in her hand.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDW
Rose stormed into the daleks laboratory fuming with anger; she hated these creatures with a passion. "You killed them! You went out and slaughtered a bunch of humans, for what reason? They have done nothing to you, it was me you wanted not them! But no you had to start killing because that's all what you're good at, killing"
"The deaths were wrong" Sec said quietly.
Rose blinked "I'm sorry did you just say what I think you said"
"That man, their leader Solomon showed such courage"
"And that's a good thing?"
"It's an excellent thing!" Sec exclaimed.
"I think you have a little more human in you than you thought" Rose murmured.
"Rose Tyler" Rose looked at Sec in shock, never before has he used her name. She was always the Abomination or Bad Wolf or the human girl or the Doctor's Companion to him. "You have evolved only to be the last. I can hear you double heart beat and I know that the Time Lords are gone including the Doctor leaving you alone. I am the first of my kind"
"What do you want from me?" Rose asked.
We tried everything to survive. When we found ourselves stranded in this ignorant age, first we tried, going new dalek embryos, but their flesh was too weak"
"Yeah, I found one of your experiments, just left out to die in the dark"
"It forced us to conclude, what is the greatest resource on this planet? It's people"
He paused and pulled a lever up and the lights came on and all over the roof were stretchers that were held up with strong wires and then Sec pulled another lever and one of the stretchers was brought down.
Rose wandered over to the stretcher and Sec said when he reached it "We stole them. We stole human beings for our purpose" he pointed to the canvas bag on the stretcher and said "Look inside". Rose slowly opened the bag dreading to see what was in it and stared in shock when she saw a human male, around about 40 years old lying in the bag as though dead "This is the true extent of the final experiment."
"Is he dead?" Rose whispered
"Near death"Sec replied "With his mind wiped ready to be filled with new ideas."
"Dalek ideas" Rose spat out.
"The Human Dalek race" Sec pointed out.
"All of these people, how many?"
"We have caverns beyond this, storing more than 1000"
"Can we make them human again?" Rose asked.
"Everything they have been is now lost" Sec said looking a bit guilty.
"So they're just shells…but how are you going to convert them using 1930 technology? It makes no sense!"
Sec turns to the other daleks "Bring up the conductor plans"
DWDWDWDWDWDWDW
Sec showed Rose where they were and what their plan was.
"We needed an energy converter"
"What for?" Rose asked.
"I am the genetic template" Sec said "My altered DNA was to be administered to each Human body" the picture on the screen changed to show two different strands of DNA, one was obviously human and the other dalek, then there was a blast of energy and the two strands combined "A strong enough strike of gamma radiation can splice the dalek and human genetic codes together and waken each body from its sleep"
"Gamma radiation? What?" the image changed to show the sun and the Earth. "Oh" Rose said in realisation.
"Soon the greatest solar flare for 1000 years will hit the Earth. Gamma radiation will be drawn to the energy conductor and when it strikes..."
"The army awakens" Rose finished gritting her teeth "I still don't know what you need me for"
"You're a genius. Consider a pure dalek. Intelligent, but emotionless"
"Removing your emotions makes you stronger" Rose said "wasn't that what your emperor thought?"
"He was wrong"
"Was he now?" Rose asked feeling amused.
"It makes us lesser than our enemies, we must return to the flesh and also the heart"
"You wouldn't be the supreme beings anymore"
"And that is good"
"That is incorrect" one of the daleks said.
"Daleks are supreme" said another
"No!" Sec shouted "Not anymore"
"But that is our purpose"
Dalek Sec was growing angry at the daleks before him "Then our purpose is wrong" he said "Where has our quest for supremacy led us? To this, hiding in the sewers on a primitive world, just four of us left. If we do not change now, then we deserve extinction"
"So you want to change everything that makes a dalek a dalek" Rose said quietly.
"If you can help me"
"But I don't know how! I'm not the Doctor!"
"Please Rose you have the human instinct you should know something" Sec said pleadingly.
"I'm so sorry I just don't know anything!"
"Just try!"
"But there's no room on Earth for another race!" Rose argued weakly.
"You have the Doctor's TARDIS don't you? Or some form of time travel, must have to get here. Take us away, an abandoned planet. Anywhere"
Rose thought for a moment, if she tried and succeeded not only did she have a hand to ensure no more daleks will bother the universe again but she would have peace. The creatures that separated her from the Doctor no longer a threat. "How long till the solar flare?"
"Eleven minutes"
"Better get cracking then"
"Thank you Rose Tyler"
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
Rose stared at the chemicals silently for one minute and allowed the human instinct that she still had mingled with the knowledge that she had gained. "Chromosomal grafting, it's too erratic. We need to split the genome" she whispered reaching out for the chemicals beginning to mix them up as if she had done it a thousand times before.
"We need more chromatin solution" Sec announced "The Pig Slaves have it"
Several Pig Slaves entered the laboratory with a large crate full of what Rose figured was the chromatin solution; they placed the crate on the floor.
"These Pig Slaves? What happens to them in the grand plan?" Rose asked quietly.
"Nothing" Sec said calmly "They're just simple beasts. Their life span is limited, none survive beyond a few weeks" Sec turned to the nearest true dalek "Power up the line feeds"
The dalek did as it was told as Rose slid up to Lazlo.
"Do you trust them?" Lazlo murmured.
"No" Rose admitted "but I have to believe that he really wants to change the daleks to something better" They watched the solution go into the life feeds and Rose could only hope that she had done the right thing.
An alarm began to sound "What's that?" Rose asked alarmed, had she done something wrong?
"What's happening? Is there a malfunction? Answer me!" Sec demanded.
"I think they override the gene feed" Rose whispered.
"Impossible!" Sec shouted "They cannot disobey orders
One of the daleks glided towards Rose "The Bad Wolf will step away from the controls" it continued to glide towards Rose, who walked backwards slowly.
"Stop!" Sec ordered "You will not fire!"
"She is the enemy of the daleks" Sec moved to stand next to Rose "And so are you"
"I am your commander I am Dalek Sec"
"You have lost your authority" said one
"You are no longer a dalek" said another
"What have you done" Rose said quietly "What's going into the gene feed?"
"The new bodies will be one hundred percent Dalek"
Sec was furious; everything that he had worked towards was being destroyed by the other daleks. "No!" he said "You can't do this"
Dalek Cann turned his eye stalk towards the Pig Slaves and said "Pig Slaves, restrain Dalek Sec and the Abomination"
The Pig Slaves gathered round Rose and Sec grabbing their arms, the Pig Slave that had Rose was Lazlo, the others were all holding Sec and standing behind the two of them.
"Release me!" Sec ordered. "I created you, I am your master" While Sec was talking Lazlo pulled Rose back a little
The daleks were talking about the solar flare and were preparing to intercept it. Lazlo looked behind her "There's the lift" he murmured in her ear.
"After you" Rose said. The pair of them ran into the lift as quickly as they could.
"Bad Wolf is escaping" one of the daleks cried out "Stop her! Stop her!"
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
The moment Rose stepped out of the lift and was almost knocked off her feet by Martha. "Martha let go we don't have much time till the solar flare. Did you find the additions?"
"Yeah up on the mast" Martha said pulling away from Rose.
Rose strolled up to the ladder and stared up "right I have to get up there and remove it then. Good thing I'm not afraid of heights" she wrapped her hands round the cool metal bars and took a step up.
"Be careful" Martha whispered.
Rose didn't reply, she just continued to climb. The moment she got up to the top she fell on to her knees and began to use the sonic screwdriver on the dalekanium, it took to long to get the first piece off and when she was working on the second the sonic screwdriver slipped out and she was forced to attempt it manually…which was a lost cause.
She grabbed hold of the mast just as the lightening hit it and screamed. The pain was horrific; she started to shudder before everything went dark.
Rose…Rose…Rose Marion Tyler what were you thinking?
Mum?
Oh my baby girl, look at you. I did warn you didn't I? That one day you'll be a strange alien woman who's not Rose Tyler.
I'm still me!
No you're not and I'm not just talking about your biology I'm talking about you. You haven't been the same. You've been acting old and bitter, you've been acting like the Doctor.
How do you know all of this?
Honey I'm your subconscious, I know everything about you.
"Rose, Rose wake up. Please wake up. Look what I found; it was on the floor just lying there"
Rose opened her eyes slowly to not see Jackie Tyler but Martha Jones leaning over here. She sighed, it was all a hallucination.
"Rose…why is there still dalekanium on the mast"
And then she sat up abruptly.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
They arrived at the theatre and Rose climbed up onto on of the chairs. "This should do it" she muttered as she pressed something on her sonic screwdriver and it started flashing.
"What are you doing?" Martha asked
"If the daleks are going to war" Rose said "they'll want to find their number one enemy, I'm just telling them where I am. Martha I want you to go back to Hooverville"
"No way!" Martha said
"I'm telling you to go" Rose snapped "Frank can take you back to Hooverville"
"And I'm telling you, I'm not going" Martha retorted
"Martha" Rose said "The daleks are my worst enemy, they're brutal and bloodthirsty and I don't want you hurt"
It was too late, there were banging sounds and the new human daleks entered the theatre from each side.
"Well, I guess that's them, huh?" Tallulah asked.
"Humans with dalek DNA?" Martha said.
"It's alright, it's alright" Rose said as Frank tried to move, she grabbed him by the arms "Don't antagonise them"
"But what of the dalek Masters?" Lazlo asked "Where are they?"
There was an explosion on the stage and everyone ducked for protection, Rose peered over the top of the chair to see out of the smoke from the explosion rolled two daleks with Sec crawling on the floor chained up to them.
"The Abomination will stand before the daleks"
Rose climbed up onto the top of the chair and walked on the tops to the stage.
"You will die Bad Wolf. It's the beginning of a new age."
"Planet Earth will become new Skaro"
"Oh and what a world" Rose said sarcastically "With everything just the slightest bit different ground into the dirt. That's Dalek Sec, don't you remember?" she asked "The cleverest dalek ever and look what you've done to him. Is that your new empire? Hmm? Is that the foundation for a whole new civilisation?"
"My daleks," Sec said standing up to address the human daleks who were standing in the theatre aisles "Just understand this. If you choose death and destruction, then death and destruction will choose you"
"Incorrect" said one of the daleks "We always survive"
"Now we will destroy our greatest enemy the killer of our emperor" said the other
"But she can help you" Sec cried out.
"The Abomination must die"
"No I beg you, don't" Sec said
"EX-TERMINATE" The dalek shot at Rose but Sec got in the way and took the shot himself.
"NO!" Rose shouted "how could you? Your own leader! The only creature that might have led you out of the darkness and you killed him." she turned to the human daleks "did you see what they did? That could be you next" she turned back to the stage "If I'm gonna die, let's give the new boys a shot, what do you think, eh? Their first blood?" she asked "Go on baptise them!"
Truth was she just wanted to die, why couldn't Sec let her die? The foolish hero, that's how he'll be remembered by her now.
"Dalek humans take aim" the dalek humans around the theatre aimed their weapons at Rose.
"What are you waiting for? Give the command"
"EX-TERMINATE!" nothing happened, the command was repeated and still nothing happened "Obey, dalek humans will obey"
"They're not firing" Martha said, she looked at Rose "what did you do?"
"You will obey" one dalek said "EX-TERMINATE"
"Why?" asked one of the dalek humans
The daleks on the stage, if they could that is would have been confused "Daleks do not question orders!"
"But why?"
"You will stop this" said the other dalek
"But why?"
"You must not question"
"But you are not our master" he said "And we...We are not daleks"
"No you're not" Rose agreed "And you never will be" she looked at the daleks on the stage "Sorry. I got in the way of the lightning strike. Time Lord DNA got all mixed up. And not just any Time Lord DNA but Rose Tyler's. Just that little bit of freedom" she said grinning.
She was no longer alone, she had a race of people glowing in the back of her mind and it was fantastic.
"If they will not obey then they must die" the dalek fired at the Time Lord Human Dalek hybrid and killed it, this started a fight. Everyone ducked. The hybrids managed to destroy the two daleks.
Suddenly the hybrids grabbed their heads in pain and started to convulse after a few minutes they all fell to the ground dead. "No!" Rose shrieked "They can't, they can't, and they just can't"
"What happened?" Martha asked.
"They killed them. They killed them rather than let them live. An entire species. Genocide" Rose said quietly.
"Only two of the daleks has been destroyed" Lazlo said "One of the Dalek Masters must still be alive"
"Oh yes" Rose said quietly "In the whole universe, just one. Martha go with Frank to Hooverville to explain what happened"
"Where are you going?" Martha asked already knowing the answer and not liking it.
"I'm going to find that dalek" Rose said simply.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
Rose entered the laboratory to find the last dalek as the only occupant. "Now what?" she asked it
"You will be EX-TERMINATED"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just think about it, Dalek what-was-your-name?"
"Dalek Cann"
"Dalek Cann" Rose repeated as she began to walk towards the dalek "Your entire species has been wiped out, and now the cult of Skaro has been destroyed, leaving only you. Right now, you're facing the only person in the universe that might show you some compassion. Because I've just seen one genocide, I won't cause another. I don't want anymore death. What do you say?"
"EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT"
The dalek disappeared and Rose whispered "yeah I was afraid that was your answer"
"Rose!" Tallulah shouted, running in the laboratory with Martha. . Tallulah and Martha were trying to hold Lazlo upright. "He's sick" Tallulah continued.
"It's okay, you're alright" said Martha as she and Tallulah lowered the sick man to the ground. "It's his heart" Martha explained "It's racing like mad; I've never seen anything like it"
"What is it, Rose?" asked Tallulah "What's the matter with him? He says he can't breathe, what is it?"
"It's time, sweetheart" said Lazlo
"What do you mean 'time'?" asked Tallulah "What are you talking about?"
"None of the slaves survive for long" he explained "most of them only live for a few weeks. I was lucky. I held on because I had you. But now... I'm dying Tallulah"
"No, you're not" she said "Not after all this. Rose, can't you do something? I can't live without him, not properly and you know what it's like"
Didn't she just?
"Oh Tallulah with three l's and a h" she said "you just watch me" she stood up "What do I need? Oh, I don't know, what about a great, big genetic laboratory? Oh look, I've got one. Lazlo, you just hold on" she said "There's been too many deaths today, way too many people have died. Brand new creatures wise old men and age old enemies. And I'm telling you, I'm telling you right now, I'm not having one more death! Have you got that? Not one"
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
They were back at the TARDIS, Rose staring into space wondering. Wondering if she'll ever meet Cann again, wondering if it'll ever be over. Wondering what her mother was doing, what was the Doctor doing and if she now has a baby brother or sister?
"Where to next?" Martha asked brightly.
"Home" Rose said "if you want to travel with me permanently then you have to pack a bag and say your goodbyes"
"Do you really mean it?" Martha asked.
"Only if you still want to, after all you seen do you think you could handle it?"
"Yes"
"Well then, let's get going"
