Chapter 2

Justin and Max ran down the staircase into the sub station and saw their dad being helped up by their mother. The door was destroyed and K-9 was guarding the door. The Doctor was no where in sight. Everyone who was in the restaurant left in panic.

"Whoa! What happened?" asked Max.

"Dad are you alright?" asked Justin running over to help.

"Yeah I'm fine," replied Jerry as he sat down in one of the booths.

"What happened?" Justin asked.

"It was the Racnoss, Master Justin," replied K-9.

Justin looked at his dad confused. He had never heard of the Racnoss and had no idea what the tin dog was talking about. "What's the Racnoss?"
"A race of spider people," said Jerry, "Red spider people."

"They are very voracious and consume anything that they like. They were very powerful in the Universe's Dark Times. They were eventually killed off when the War raged," explained K-9.

"What will happen to the Doctor?" asked Theresa.

"Do not have enough information to make a sufficient prediction, Mistress Theresa," said K-9.

"Prediction on what?"

Everyone turned to the door and saw Alex and Harper standing in the doorway.

The Doctor woke up to find the male Racnoss standing twenty feet away in an abandoned warehouse. It hadn't noticed the Doctor as he woke up. He tried to move his arm but his arm was tied up in an X using the Racnoss's webbing. It was weaker than the female's webbing, but still incredibly strong.

The Doctor was suddenly hit by a massive head ache. Then he remembered the last thing he saw before blackness. His head had smacked on the concrete. It was only then he realized part of his vision was tinted red and it stung. Blood has gotten in his left eye. He winced as he started to feel his body again. The Racnoss had pummeled him into the concrete. He just hope Jerry hadn't been hurt as bad he was.

The Doctor pulled his right arm, but the webbing was too strong. The Racnoss heard the struggling turned to face the Doctor. It walked up to the and put it's face in the Doctor's face. The Racnoss snarled and looked at the Doctor's reaction. The Doctor didn't flinch. He just stared in the Racnoss's black eyes.

"You don't scare me spider," snarled the Doctor, "I have faced more terrifying than you."

"What are you?" drooled the Racnoss.

"The one thing on this planet you didn't want to cross!" snapped the Doctor.

The Racnoss smiled and chuckled, "I have you captive."

The Doctor's expression changed. It grew colder and more dark. The Racnoss's smile melted and it stepped back. Even chained up and beaten, the Doctor could send a monster back to where it came from. The Racnoss turned around and it's back was facing the Time Lord again. The Doctor looked intently at the webbing holding his right arm. The webbing started vibrating and the Doctor's eyes had a fire filled in them.

"Prediction on what?" asked a horrified Alex. She saw her dad was injured and the door was destroyed. Harper and her had four faces of worry look back at her. She looked around and saw the Doctor wasn't with them, "Where's the Doctor?"
K-9 rolled up next to Alex and told her, "Mistress Alex, the Doctor has been kidnapped by a predatory race of creatures called the Racnoss."

"What? Kidnapped?" asked Alex.

"Affirmative," said K-9, "The Racnoss probably sense the Huon energy from the TARDIS and could not beam it where it wanted."

"What does that have to do with the Doctor?" asked a hurt Alex.

"Nothing. The Racnoss smelled he wasn't human and took him to interrogate him on his knowledge," explained K-9.

"Well why don't we go get him? What's a Racnoss anyway?"

Jerry answered before K-9, "Think of a centaur. Half man, half horse. A Racnoss is half human, half giant spider and red all over. It's what pushed me through the front door."

"Why can't we get him?" asked Harper as Alex couldn't say anything.

"The Racnoss are voracious," K-9 started again, "They eat anything and fear nothing."

"K-9!" snapped Theresa, "Alex doesn't need to hear that."
"My apologies, Mistress Theresa," said K-9 rolling away from Alex.

The Doctor hadn't taken his gaze off the webbing rope. The Racnoss wasn't going to interrogate him until the spider thought the Doctor was on the brink. The Doctor used that to his advantage. The webbing rope snapped and the Doctor's arm slammed down against his body. The Doctor closed his eyes and relaxed before taking out his sonic screwdriver of his pocket. The Doctor used it on the other three web ropes and he fell like a rock on the ground

The Racnoss heard the noise and went to attention. The Doctor froze until the Racnoss relaxed. The Doctor put his hand in his pants pocket and started to pull out a sheathed sword. The Doctor stood up straight and unsheathed his sword and put the sheath in his jacket pocket. In one swift motion that would make a cheetah proud, the Doctor ran, sword drawn, and pounced on the Racnoss. He drove the sword through the Racnoss's neck. All of the spider's eyes widened and looked at the Doctor.

"I'm a Time Lord," snarled the Doctor. In another swift motion, the Doctor took out his sword, now covered in greenish-yellow blood, and stabbed the Racnoss through the head. The greenish-yellow blood squirted all over the Doctor before the lifeless Racnoss fell to the ground. The Doctor rolled off the corpse onto the floor. He sat up and resheathed his sword and put back into his pants pocket. He looked through his other pants pocket and took out his transporter watch.

The Doctor's vision was blurring as his fingers pushed the location to transport to. His world spun around him and his vision went dark once again. As the Doctor fell over, a blue light engulfed him and he was gone.

Racnoss Ship

Earth Orbit

"I have should have known better. Male Racnoss are dull and too stupid to do anything right. The male what ever creature he is, however, is much more intelligent," said the Princess Racnoss, "He could be dangerous to my mission."

The Racnoss Princess would not let the Doctor get in her way of completing her mother's personal crusade to restore the Racnoss species. She would use the Huon particles to recharge her ship and awaken all of her people in her ship. From there, her brothers and sisters would have a world to feast on as they restore their people. She smiled at the thought her people once again flying through the stars.
