Chapter 2

Waverly Sub Station

The TARDIS

The Doctor had put most of the wires back into the TARDIS control console. The wires that were out were hooked to a device with four extensions from it. He was working on that when someone knocked on the TARDIS door. He didn't hear the knocking until it became banging. The Doctor looked up and shook his head. He took off his goggles and carefully put the tool down next to the device he was working on. He walked over to the door and opened it and looked outside. He saw a UNIT military officer standing there with two other soldiers, one on each side of the Doctor. "Oh this can't be good," muttered the Doctor.

"Doctor?" asked the lead soldier.

"Yes, and you are?" asked the Doctor.

"Colonel Karl Rhodes, UNIT."

The Doctor closed the door of the TARDIS and asked, "What's wrong?"

"We need to talk," said Rhodes, "In private."

This got the Doctor's attention and he asked again, "What's wrong?"

There was no answer.

"I'll be right back," said the Doctor.

"Why can't we talk in there?" asked Rhodes pointing his finger at the TARDIS.

"Because its in the middle of repairs and I don't want anyone in there," answered the Doctor, "Now I'll be right back."

The Doctor walked to the subway car and shooed the customers that were in there out of subway car. "Oh stop complaining. This is important that you leave this area of the restaurant."

"Who are you? Do you even work here?" asked a customer.

"I'm the Doctor and no I don't work here, but I think you'd rather have me force you out of here then them," the Doctor said motioning to the UNIT soldiers.

The customer didn't reply or say anything when he saw Colonel Rhodes's face. It was serious and intimidating. The customers sat down in other places of the restaurant. He walked over and said, "We can talk in there."

The three soldiers walked into the subway car with the Doctor right behind him. The Doctor closed all the doors of the subway car. One of them made a screeching sound as if it hadn't been shut in years. The people in the restaurant covered their ears and grew ever increasingly annoyed at the Doctor.

Jerry came out from the back because of the noise. He saw the Doctor shutting the doors to the subway car and he walked over to that section of the sub station. He opened one of the quiet doors and asked, "What are you doing?"

The Doctor turned around and walked over to Jerry. He told him, "I have to talk to these people and then I'll reopen this section of the restaurant, but for now I have to keep this between us four. Jerry, I'll maybe tell you later. It all depends on what this is all about."

Before Jerry could reply, the Doctor shut the door and walked over to the three soldiers. He sat down in one of the chairs and motioned for the soldiers to sit down across from him. "No thank you, Doctor, we're fine," said Rhodes.

"Okay, have fun standing," said the Doctor. The Doctor leaned back and put his feet on the table and crossed them. He crossed his arms and asked, "So what's wrong?"

"Someone hacked into our archive systems several hours ago and read only a select number of files," said Rhodes.

"Who hacked UNIT's archive?" asked the Doctor.

"We don't know who did, but we tracked it and it's in the city," answered Rhodes.

"Where?"

"We've traced it to the Montana Tower," said Rhodes, "Floor 77."

The mention of the Montana Tower made the Doctor's interest rise. He took his feet off the table and leaned forward looking at the soldiers, "What's on floor 77?"

"It is supposedly one of Montana's science labs," said Rhodes.

"The entire floor?" asked the Doctor, "That is a huge lab. I've had problems with the Montana Science Labs before. What's in this lab?"

"We don't really know," said Rhodes, "I don't even think General Osage knows, but whatever it is it has to deal with an event that happened around five years ago and deals with robotics. That's all I know."
"What event?" asked the Doctor.

"The Battle of Canary Wharf," replied Rhodes.

The Doctor's eyes widened and he shot up. He was quiet but infuriated, "The Battle of Canary Wharf and robotics? What is he planning on doing? Making Cybermen?"

Rhodes swallowed hard and didn't reply.

The Doctor noticed that and asked, "What files were hacked into?"

"The Mondas Cybermen files," answered Rhodes.

The Doctor turned around and looked out one of the windows of the subway car looking out to the rest of the sub station. People who were looking at him turned away as fast as they could when they saw his eyes. The Doctor didn't turn around but struggled to keep his voice low, "What? Why would Montana want to know about the Mondas Cybermen for?"

"We don't know," said Rhodes.

"That makes two of us, but I am going to go there and find out what is going on!" snapped the Doctor, "This is ridiculous. He doesn't know what he is playing with."

"What would that be?" asked Rhodes.

The Doctor turned around and said, "He's playing with one of the most evil and destructive forces in the universe. The Cybus Cybermen were easy compared to the Mondas Cybermen, but the Mondas ones do have a weakness."

"What's that?" asked Rhodes.

"Gold," said the Doctor, "Go back to UNIT and order them to make gold bullets. We might need them if he finds out how to construct Cybermen like the ones from Mondas. In the mean time, I am going to the Montana Tower to talk some sense into Henry Montana before he ends up killing himself and millions of others."

The Doctor walked away and opened the doors to the subway car. He told the soldiers, "Go and keep in touch with me or that man over there."

"Who is that?" asked Rhodes.

"He is the owner, Jerry Russo," said the Doctor, "Follow me."

The Doctor and UNIT soldiers walked up to Jerry who was standing next to the cash register. "Jerry, I need a favor of you."

"What is it?" asked Jerry. He looked slightly nervous at the thought of the Doctor needing a favor from him.

"I need you to stay in touch with these men until I get back," said the Doctor, "I have to go to the Montana Tower and talk some sense into Henry Montana."

"About what?" asked Jerry.

"It'll take too long to tell you so I'm sorry," said the Doctor.

"For what?"

"This," said the Doctor. He grabbed Jerry's shoulders and head-butted him in the head. Both Jerry and the Doctor grabbed their heads and the UNIT soldiers didn't know what happened when the Doctor just head-butted the owner of the sub station.

"Cybermen!" yelled Jerry, "I understand now, but why did you head-butt me?"

"It was faster to do that instead of telling you the whole drawn out history and stuff like that," replied the Doctor. He recovered faster than Jerry and grabbed his shoulders again and instead of heat-butting Jerry, the Doctor told him, "Do your best and stop Alex from following me under any circumstances and don't tell her or anyone where I am. It has to stay with you and no one else. If you think of telling anyone, just think of the images I showed you, about what the Cybermen do. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I do," said Jerry.

"Great," said the Doctor, "If anything changes, I will call you and UNIT and this place will become UNIT's command center for this incident. Colonel Rhodes will be in charge of that. Rhodes, do you understand?"

"Yes, Doctor, but I..."

"I don't care," replied the Doctor, "This is too dangerous to argue. You three go and order a sandwich or something. You'll need it and plus they need the business."

"But..."

The Doctor cut Rhodes off again and said, "Just order a sandwich so you can keep your cover to the rest of the family." With that the Doctor walked to TARDIS and locked the doors and then he ran off outside.

Jerry turned to the soldiers and asked, "So what would like to order."

The soldiers turns and looked at Jerry. He had a pen and pad along with a giant smile.

Montana Tower

Floor 77

The Cyber Leader continued to drain information from the UNIT Archives. It had located an entry of incredible interest. It was under one name, but there were fourteen different faces. The file the Cyber Leader was looking at was huge compared to the others. The Cyber Leader determined this man was a threat and wanted his death as soon as possible.

"Units 23 and 15," said the Cyber Leader.

"Yes," said both of them in unity.

"I want you to find this man," the Cyber Leader had him pulled up on the computer screen, "He is called the Doctor and is incredibly dangerous. He could stop us. He must be deleted. Delete the Doctor!"

"Delete the Doctor. We obey," both of them said in unison again. They both marched off.

Then the Cyber Leader could hear the screams of the people his soldiers were taking to be ungraded. He turned back to the computer and said, "I will upgrade the whole planet."
