Chapter 4

Alex was sitting in a chair near the back of the room and she was messing around with her wand. She wasn't going to use unless she absolutely had to. She wasn't too happy that the Doctor went off of his own with the leader of the people that had made it. She wanted to come with him and it took everything she had not to go after him. There was something in the back of her mind that kept telling her to stay there. She didn't know where that came from, but the feeling got stronger about half an hour ago. She wasn't sociable at all and didn't say anything to anyone except to Harper.

Harper didn't speak much either. She was too nervous around all the crew members. Harper asked one of the women crew members who was named Jezzika. Harper asked Jezzika, "How did the Angels get to the ship?"

Jezzika said, "They came out of nowhere. They moved throught the vacuum of space. I've never seen anything like it. They entered through the hangers and flight decks. Withing seconds, the crewmen working there vanished. The Angels flooded across the whole ship. We fought back but the Angels kept on coming. They destroyed tons of our robots after the robots destroyed several of them. We did everything we could to stop, but eventually we were cut down to twelve and we were able to bunker up in here."
"How long did it take for the Angels to take complete control?" asked Harper.

"It was two days ago when the Angels came and it was only several hours that it took the Angels to conquer the ship," said Jezzika, "We've been trapped here ever since. We're running out of food and water."

"That's terrible," Harper told her.

"You're telling me," said Jezzika. She looked over at Alex and asked, "What's with you friend over there?"

Harper looked at Alex and said, "That's just how she is. She usually doesn't speak to people she doesn't know."

"What about the Doctor?" asked Jezzika.

"He is complicated," said Harper, "He's from Gallifrey and he let us come with him."

"Why?" asked Jezzika, "How would a time traveler find you?"

"His ship kind of crashed into the place where we lived," said Harper.

"How?" asked Jezzika.

"I really don't know," Harper said, "He's tried to tell us, but he loses me all the time."

"So he's a techno?" asked Jezzika.

"An a massive rebel," Harper said.

Before the conversation went on, 476 said, "Angels are coming."
"Are you sure?" asked Cyrus.

"Yes," 476 replied.

"Okay get ready," Cyrus said.

The door to the room started to shake and everyone in the room jumped up and watched as the guards and the three robots in the room aimed their weapons. The lights in the room went out. The door banged loudly and was thrown away from it's frame. The Angels swarmed into the darkened room. Guns blasts echoed through the room. The robots in the room fired their plasma blasts and claimed three Angels. Bullets claimed another one. There was a gun that fell to the ground and Jase had fallen victim to the Angels.

"JASE!" shouted Cyrus.

There were several more screams from the room. Alex had a call coming from her phone and saw it was the Doctor who called her. She answered the phone, but dropped it when Harper ran into her and Jezzika joined them. Alex held out her wand and there was a light at the end of it. The three of them saw an Angel reaching out to them. The claws on the Weeping Angel were inches away from Alex's face. The Angel was picked up by one of the robots and smashed on the metal floor causing the Angel to shatter. Cyrus ran through the dust and grabbed Jezzika's hand, "Let's go! 476 and the other robots will hold off the Angels."

"We can't get out," said Jezzika, "Look."

Several Angels ganged up on each robot. One was destroyed and the other robot was pinned. The only robot that was putting up a fight was 476, but all three battles were blocking the only exit. Cyrus said, "We can't get out."

"Oh yes, we can," Alex said.

"What does that mean?" asked Cyrus.

"You'll see," Harper said.

Alex lifted her wand and said, "My powers I continue to hone, get us away from the Angels of Stone!"

Green magic came out of the tip of Alex's wand swirled around the four of them and then in a flash of green light, they all vanished. The Doctor's voice came from Alex's phone. He screamed Alex's name, but there was no one left in the room.

The Angels in the room all turned to stone permanently. The robot that was pinned had been destroyed already. 476 had two Angels on it and it destroyed them both. It stood up and stood guard at the door and waited for Darius and the Doctor to get back. The whole room looked like a war zone. 476 thought about smashing the Angels, but it decided to leave them for the Doctor and Darius to figure out.

The Angels that were still outside the room stopped moving and moved towards the Time Matrix again. It was the only thing that was giving off time energy for the Weeping Angels to feed off of. The Angels didn't meet the Doctor and Darius on the way back, but they wanted the time energy from one of the three things on this ship. There was the human female, but her time energy was lethal to the Weeping Angels. There was that blue box with public police call box on the top of it, but the thing was impossible to get into. That was the one they wanted to the most. The last and most accessible to the Weeping Angels was the Time Matrix at the core of the ship, but that was overloading and killed the Angels when they touched it. They would get the time energy they needed to. They were hungry and time energy was the only thing they could eat, but unbeknownst to the Weeping Angels, the Time Matrix would explode in forty minutes.
