Episode 2: No Escape

Just then a dark shadowy figure jumped from one of the rooftops and it's about to attack Ian and Susan. Before the figure could reach Ian and Susan, Ian punched the figure in the stomach as he was running towards the two. Ian grabbed the figure which revealed to be a young human man with a torn out uniform. "Alright you better tell me what's going on and why you attacked us?!"

"Wait! Wait! D-D-Don't hit me! I'm a good person! I'm a good person!"

"Then why did you go and attack us like that?!"

"Because I thought you're one of them." Ian let go of the man and continue asking him questions calmly.

"What do you mean 'one of them'?"

"Don't you know about the creatures that inhabit this town?"

"No we don't know what creature you're talking about. We just arrive here a few minutes ago." Susan said.

"Don't you about the angels?"

"The angels? I thought angels are always good creatures."

"Well but these angels are not the friendly type you see in storybooks."


Back in the campsite in the middle of main street, Barbara is making food she found from the buildings inside while the Doctor is sitting to take a rest after his argument with Ian. "So you let out your angry that Ian wants to find the emerald oil because you sense something is in this town?" Barbara asked the Doctor.

"Of course my dear."

"But why would you worry about something dangerous in this town. We saw the Daleks and the Sensorites and even the French Revolution. What makes the creatures you're thinking about dangerous than those I've mention?"

"I don't know, but I always think that I've met them before." Just then, the Doctor and Barbara heard something rustling behind the bushes between the decaying buildings. The rustling turns out to be two people, a man and a woman, in military uniforms the same as the one Ian encountered from miles away.

"Oh it's great to see another human being around here." the man said.

"Well there's no need to use our weapons for the moment. These two don't look threatening at all." the woman said.

"Who are are you and where did we came from?" Barbara asked.

"Well I'm Flynn and this is my friend Molly."

"We just came back from gathering food back for our camp." Molly said, "And yours?"

"I'm Barbara and this is the Doctor. Two of our friends just went out to gather some emerald oil but they haven't returned yet."

"Well I hope they didn't ran into Milton." Flynn said, "He's always go by himself by hunting what he finds unusual."

"What do you mean unusual?"

"I think it's better that you don't know what it is." Molly said.

"Pity, I would have been interested if you tell me what the unusual little creature was."

"Really. It's better that you don't know about it."

"Wanna go back to camp with us? It's very dangerous when it's dark if you're alone and unarmed." Flynn said.

"You know my dear boy I was never a soldier during my time and I never will." the Doctor said, "But I accept your offer to join your camp."

"Hey since you're a doctor, you could try and help my team back in camp."

"Really? What seems to be the problem about your fellow comrades, hmm?"

"It's... quite complicated." Molly said. Flynn and Molly lead the Doctor and Barbara back to there campsite and find mostly elderly people who are coughing and shivering. When the Doctor took a look at Flynn and Molly's team, he's starting to get worried knowing who did this two them.

"Why are your team are mostly comprised of eighty-year olds?" Barbara asked.

"It's horrible to describe." Molly said, "A week ago, they were the same age as us. Then they look like this."

"How did this happen?"

"We don't know." Flynn said, "But it's common whenever they try to leave town. It seems like some mysterious force doesn't want us to leave."

"Luckily it didn't get to us yet because we decided to stay inside this town. But we're worried that it might get Milton as well and it will get us in a matter of time." Molly said. While the four of them continue to walk, someone grabbed Molly's hand and pulled her close.

"Molly?" an old man said.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"It's me, Flynn."

"N-N-N-No, it can't be true. Flynn is right here behind me."

"It will happen soon enough."

"How did this happen?"

"I don't know, I felt something touch me and the next thing I know, I was in a different place but it refused to let me out." The elderly Flynn passed away due to exhaustion. Molly gave a grim look on the younger Flynn because she is worried about his safety.

"I think I know what happened to your friend, but I refuse to believe that it's true." the Doctor said.


"So you mean to tell me that these angel statues are alive and send you back in time if they touch you?" Ian asked Milton.

"That's right. Those creatures touch the other lads back in my camp. They are now old as my grandparents. It happened to me once."

"But why didn't you turn old?"

"With this." Milton showed Ian and Susan the first prototype of a vortex manipulator. "A fellow gave it to me and told to use it when the situation is dire."

"Interesting. It looks like a portable TARDIS." Susan said.

"Now can you tell me why you're all here all by yourselves?"

"Uhh we were just going to the nearest petrol station to get ourselves emerald me for our ship." Ian said.

"Don't get a hold of yourselves, if you try to leave this town, the angels will send you back here in another time, if you're trying to find emerald fuel, try the building over there." Milton pointed to a chapel that is behind Ian and Susan. "Our ship crashed landed here and we got over 25 emerald in the last week."

"I'll go inside." Ian said

"No stay I'll get it." Susan told Ian.

"But Susan-"

"I say it's fine Ian. You were hurt when he try to kill you. I promise that I'll be back." Susan said before running into the chapel. Susan found some emerald fuel in the front of section of the pews and took two cans of them. Before she could leave, Susan found a piece of paper in ground. She pick up the paper and read out loud the lines that said The angels are our friends and keep us safe. If we hear their weeping they know they're there." Ian and Milton hear screaming inside the chapel and ran to the chapel. When they entered, they only find a piece of paper and couldn't find Susan anywhere.
