Episode 4: Encounter of the Angels

We have to get out now." The Doctor and Barbra started to run and the Doctor left the basement but Barbara was left behind because something shut the door. Barbara was knocking on the door telling the Doctor for help. When she turned around, Barbara saw two Weeping Angels in front in front of her.

"It's happening again." the Doctor whispered.


Many Years Earlier

In an unknown planet, a Time Lord academy is taking it's students on a field trip, or field training, to prove themselves that they could be a Time Lord. One of the students in the field trip is the Doctor. The students line as the instructor gave them instructions on what they'll be doing.

"Alright listen up. You're all here for one reason: to show me what it takes to be a Time Lord. You'll have a partner for this training so you better be extra careful for this one. All you have to do is observe life of this planet and record it. If there is any trouble, just shoot out a red flare in the sky and the administrators and I will come to your area as fast as possible. Now all of you move out and show what great Time Lords you'll become."

The Doctor and his Time Lord friend name Greylan are paired together for their training and wandered around the area. "Are sure you're ready to be a Time Lord, Theta? Because you always say about changing them but the High Council won't accept that." Greylan asked the Doctor, who goes by the alias "Theta Sigma" during his academy years.

"Of course Greylan. Even though the other Time Lords won't accept about what I said, I still want to go on adventures throughout the universe."

"Well okay, but don't be like Koschei. That man is nothing more than a lunatic who always hypnotize the other kids just for pleasure."

"Koschei is alright, Greylan, but he is not a lunatic." After a few hours of wandering around the forest, the Doctor and Greylan are lost.

"Are you sure you're going the right way Theta? Because it looks like we're going off radar."

"Yes I know where I'm going. I'm just following what the map is leading us. Now stop being scared and trust me." When they reached the end of the road, the Doctor and Greylan found a cave filled with many jewels inside. The Doctor isn't keen on exploring the cave and wanted to leave, but Greylan really wants to and ran inside. The Doctor is annoyed by Greylan's decision and decided to follow him. "Why are you so interested in jewels all the time Greylan? You know we have to finish our work on finding life."

"Because they are filled with riches Theta. When I get my own, I will travel anywhere to find the universe."

"That's is not a good explanation in my perspective. Well since we're here, we might get extra points from the headmaster if explore the cave. Now stop lavishing yourself with jewels and help me with this." The two explored the caves and found nothing but jewels. When they went to the darkest parts of the cave, Greylan started to become scared.

"Uhh, Theta, maybe should leave the cave right now. This place is giving me the creeps."

"Yeah this place is creeping me out too, but there maybe some important lifeforms in this cave." Greylan jumped when he felt something slithering in his arm, but the Doctor knows it is. "Oh it's just a snake. They're pretty harmless for us Time Lords since we have the ability to change our appearance." After a few minutes of exploring the caves, Greylan is becoming more scared.

"Seriously Theta, we should leave right now. We don't know if we there's something dangerous here."

"No. But if you want to be less scared here's one of my extra ultraviolet lamp I kept when things are dire." While exploring the cave, the Doctor tries to cheer Greylan up by telling a story. "Hey Greylan, have you heard a story about the Weeping Angels?"

"Yes of course I have Theta, every children in Gallifrey knows about the Weeping Angels."

"But do you believe in them?"

"No. The Weeping Angels are just a fairy tales made up by parents just to keep their children to sit still."

"I believe them. But they are still dangerous to encounter them."

"Hey Theta, why don't you stay quiet for now. You telling the story is scaring me more than the cave."

"I thought you didn't believe the Weeping Angels exist?"

"I don't, but I believe in getting out of this cave alive."

"Oh fine we'll get out of here now. There's nothing interesting in this cave anyway." Just then Greylan's light started to flicker fast. "Oh we better get out now before night fall. They might have left us by now." the Doctor said. Before the two could start running, the two saw a creature with souless eyes and sharp teeth.

"What is that?!" Greyflan said.

"I believe it's a Weeping Angel."

"But they aren't suppose to be real!"

"Well they are now. We're suppose to run now."

"Agreed." The two ran and took shelter at a small dark cavern near the jewel area.

"I can't believe I saw a Weeping Angel!"

"Oh come on Theta, I know it's some kind of trick you and Koschei come up for me."

"What? Why would Koschei and I would prank in something important as this?"

"Trust me Theta. I will go out and let the 'angels' take me."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

"You'll see." Greylan went out of the cavern and stand in a light shining from the ceiling of a cave. "See what did I tell you. You can come out now Koschei. I know about your's and Theta's plan all along!" Just then Greylan disappeared and the Doctor think it's a trick.

"Okay Greylan, you think I'm pulling a prank you. You should stop this now." The Doctor laughed. When he noticed that Greylan isn't going to come out, he's starting to get worried. "Greylan? Greylan!" the Doctor ran to where Greylan was standing and couldn't find him anywhere. When he blinked he saw five Weeping Angels in front of him. He tried to run, five extra Weeping Angels are blocking his way. The Doctor is now scared for his life until he remember what the headmaster said earlier.

Without setting his eyes off the Weeping Angels, the Doctor took out a flare gun and set it up in the opening of the cave. The other Time Lords saw it and arrived in the cave as soon as possible. They were shocked to see Weeping Angels and swiftly took action. The Time Lords got a ray gun that makes the angels freeze for a longer amount of time.

"I thought this planet is clear of Weeping Angels!" the headmaster said.

"It seems that they arrived before we do." an instructor said.

"No wonder we didn't see any humanoids earlier." another instructor said. The headmaster saw the Doctor and asked him a few questions.

"Theta what happened to your partner?" the headmaster asked. The Doctor is still in fear that he didn't what to say, but the headmaster know what happened. "Scan the angels to see where they find and rescue the lost student." the headmaster ordered the instructors.

"We already did sir." An instructor said, "But it's too late to save him. Even with regeneration, he's in a place and time where no Time Lord wouldn't go."

"I see. Take Theta Sigma to a sick bay so he would recover from this. In the meantime we should cancel this training course and mark this planet a no clearance zone." The instructors took the young Doctor back to a TARDIS and gave him a blanket. By what he has seen that day, the Doctor has a fear of Weeping Angels.

Today

"It's happening again." the Doctor whispered again as he feels that he can't help Barbara.
