Chapter 3: The Sontarans
Queens 2017
In Queens, just east of Manhattan, the Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler, and Jessica Jones had teamed up to investigate the appearance of the Sontarans. They went back to the TARDIS, where Jessica was blown away by the bigger on the inside time machine. They then continued to walk around Queens and investigate for a few hours, but it was getting cold on this dark night and they had found nothing. Jessica eventually had the idea to go back to the alley where they saw the Sontaran in the first place to see if they could figure out why it was there. The Doctor, Rose, and Jessica arrived at the alley where they first saw the Sontarans.
"Why would that Sontaran have been here?" Rose asked.
"I found it doing something with the dumpster." Jessica said. "I wonder…"
Jessica then walked into the alley and put her hands on the dumpster. Then, she used her super strength to push the dumpster to the other end of the alley. The three of them were surprised to see what had been under the dumpster the whole time. On the floor where the dumpster once was sat a hole in the ground. The Doctor, Rose, and Jessica looked down the hole. They could see that it went down deep into the ground and there was a ladder inside that allowed one to climb in and out of the whole.
"Well looks like we found where the Sontarans are hiding." The Jessica said.
"Why are they hiding down there?" The Doctor asked. "That's not like them. They're warriors. They never hide from anything."
"Unless they're doing something in secret and don't want anyone to find out." Rose said.
"Come on." Jessica said. "We aren't going to get our answers up here."
Jessica then put her feet first into the hole and climbed down the ladder into the darkness. The Doctor followed down next, with Rose being the last one to descend. The three of them climbed down in almost complete darkness. After a few minutes, Jessica reached the bottom and looked around as the Doctor and Rose continued to climb down. Jessica saw a dimly lit tunnel that was quite long with a light at the end. The tunnel was big enough for a van to drive through, but not anything larger than that. They were surrounded by all kinds of rocks of varying sizes. Some were as large as boulders and some were smaller. However, all Jessica could focus on was the tunnel and the light that was at the end of it.
"What's that light?" Rose asked.
"Only one way to find out." Jessica said.
The Doctor, Rose, and Jessica then walked forward through the underground tunnel.
"I can't believe the Sontarans built all this." The Doctor said. "What are they possibly doing down here?"
A few minutes later, the three of them arrived at the end of the tunnel. What they saw was a door built into a rock wall. Beyond the wall was a glowing blue light. Next to the door was a large boulder as well as some other rocks. The Sontarans had clearly gone to great lengths to hide and do something sinister beneath New York. The Doctor took out his sonic screwdriver and activated it while aiming it at the door. It then became unlocked and swung open. The trio was surprised and confused by what they saw beyond the door. They saw several Sontarans working at a table. On top of the table was a large silver box with several blue buttons all over it. The Doctor knew what this was. The Sontarans were working on a bomb. It was identical to the alien bomb found at city hall by the Twelfth Doctor, Bill Potts, and Daredevil. The Sontarans were alarmed by the sudden door opening and grabbed their laser guns to aim at their intruders.
"What's going on here?" The Doctor asked.
"Intruders!" A Sontaran shouted.
"Enough of that." The Doctor said. "Answer my question. What are the Sontarans doing under New York and why are you building that bomb?"
"Bomb?" Jessica said out loud. "Not in my city."
"You will be destroyed." Another Sontaran said.
"Answer the question!" The Doctor shouted.
"Fire!" Another Sontaran ordered.
"Move!" Jessica shouted.
The Doctor, Rose, and Jessica ran back out and slammed the door behind them as the Sontarans began firing their deadly lasers. Jessica used her strength to move the large boulder in front of the door, blocking the Sontarans' escape.
"That won't hold them long." The Doctor said.
"Well let's get out of here then!" Rose said.
The trio ran back through the tunnel until they reached the end. Then, they climbed back up the ladder until they returned back to the surface on this dark night. Jessica then pushed the dumpster back over the hole in the ground. They then went back to the TARDIS and rushed inside.
"I don't get it." The Doctor said. "What do the Sontarans get out of building a bomb under New York City? And why Queens. Why not Manhattan?"
"This is too much." Jessica said. "I'm calling in backup."
"What sort of backup?" Rose asked.
"People like me." Jessica said as she pulled out her phone and began searching through her contact list."
"People with powers?" The Doctor asked.
"Ya." Jessica said as she put the phone to her ear. She had begun making a call.
"Who are you calling?" Rose asked.
Jessica did not answer. Her friend had picked up and answered the phone.
"Luke." Jessica said. "We have a situation."
