"Exterminate!"
The mysterious man reached out and yanked Tyler inside just as the blue beam of light whizzed by his temple. "Why didn't you follow?" the man barked. Tristan and Tyler now got a better look at the man. He was very thin, wore a brown suit with a fancy black and blue tie and a long, brown trench coat. He looked... familiar.
"Those things are dangerous!" "We know!" Tyler retorted. "You've seen them before?" "Yeah where have you been?" Tristan stared at the man, obviously confused. "Wait... hold on... What year is it?" "Uh." Tyler stared at the man as if he had a third ear. "Uh... November 2009?" "A year ago, the Daleks invaded right?" "The what?"
"The Daleks. That's what they're called. They're the ultimate xenophobes. The only emotion they have is hate for anything not Dalek. We need to go up. That Dalek is going to follow us."
They ran up the stairs, hearts pounding as a loud bang resonated through the stairwell. "We need to get to the roof!" the man gasped. They bolted through the fifth floor door, searching desperately for the service ladder to the roof. "Wait! I need a heating coil from a portable heater." The man called out to the two.
"We have one in our apartment, I think." Tristan replied hurriedly " Third floor" they ran to the east stairwell and descended two floors to the cool third floor hallway. "Which number?" the man questioned as he ran forward. "307" Tyler called after him. The man reached the door labeled with a brass number 307 and patted his pockets as if looking for something. He sighed and asked "You two have a key?" Tyler reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver ring. He tossed it to the man saying "Third after the leather tag." "Who are you?" asked Tristan as the man slid the key into the lock "The Doctor" "Doctor Who?" "Just the Doctor." The Doctor immediately began rifling through closets, looking for the heater as Tyler and Tristan ran to their closets and grabbed their emergency sledgehammers. "Why do you have those?" The Doctor stared at the large hammers in their hands. "We've had break-ins before." Tyler gripped his hammer while looking out the window. There were two more Daleks out on the street, just moving around. They looked... disorganized. Tristan came back from the kitchen with fried chicken, offering it to The Doctor. He took one and held it in his mouth as he searched. "AHA!" the chicken fell from his mouth as he brought a spare heater from the closet. He immediately grabbed a screwdriver from a nearby table and dismantled the heater, producing the coil in a matter of minutes. Tyler stood up "Well now we can get go-" A loud bang erupted from the hallway. Another. Another. This repeated three more times. The group tensed. BOOM! The door flew off of its hinges, landing crumpled on the floor. "EXTERMINATE!"
Tyler ran behind the Dalek and turned it to face the wall as Tristan slammed his hammer down on the Daleks gun, bending it down. "YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED!" It shot its gun, searing a hole through the floor and into the room below. Tyler raised his hammer and brought it down on the Daleks eyestalk, snapping it "MY VISION IS IMPAIRED!" The Dalek zoomed to the windows and burst through the wall, landing on the ground outside, exploding.
"That was... impressive." The Doctor stared at the two for a moment, as if contemplating something before saying "We need to get going. I lost something on the corner. Think you two could help me get it?" "Is it dangerous?" Asked Tyler. "Well... a bit... a lot." "We're in."
