Chapter 5
The Parallel World
The gelth stood in the main chamber of the Torchwood building, they had destroyed any life in London and with the bodies that they had recreated they had started to take the rest of the world. The head Gelth, which was Professor Rash, was standing at the front of a massive procession of Gelth, they each had bodies, and they each had weapons.
"We have stood in the rift for many years, we have waited while the humans have had this world, they have destroyed it, they will be erased and we will restore this planet to it's former glory!" The Lord Shouted
"Yes our Lord, they will pay" the gelth all shouted at the same time.
They all turned and looked up, the roof opened and they all lifted up, they all shot up, they all started to kill. The head of the gelth stood and watched as his troops flew off to fight the humans.
One of his bodyguards ran up to him, he was shouting, yelling at the top of his voice for help.
"What is it?" asked the Head
"The…Portal…it has reopened, but not to the other world, it is opening to the void" panted the Bodyguard.
"Captain, Mobilise your troops, get as many of them back here and guard the void room, they are trying to escape the void, we cannot allow this!"
"Yes sir, what if they do come out, we can't fight them, they will destroy us." asked the captain
"Well, then maybe we will have to open another portal to the other world, we will follow the girl and take that world." The head looked very stable as he talked.
Some of the heads bodyguards crowded round and raised guns up to his head.
"Wha-?" spluttered the head
"Well, you were the one to lead us here, and you are giving up, we will close the portal and make sure we are safe, but me and the rest of the troops want you out!" shouted the Bodyguard that had given the fateful news of the portal.
As more troops landed through the roof, gunshots were fired and the head gelth's flesh melted away, the blue ghost rose into the air and while screaming flew into the portal.
While the Bodyguard turned head rallied his troops, the old head of the gelth, while in the void, met with the Cybermen and Dalek attack force, he told them the locations of the weapons of mass destruction, the usual attack plans for the gelth and he told them what had happened to the doctor and where his assistant had gone.
The old head looked on while the Daleks and Cybermen marched through the opening into the living world. He popped his head through the portal to look at the destruction, but there was no destruction, the Daleks and Cybermen had met no resistance.
The old Head of the gelth came fully through the portal back into the parallel world, he looked around, the Cybermen and Daleks were looking confused. The old head realised what was going to happen, he looked back as the portal closed, and there behind the portal machine in an adjoining room was the entire gelth army. The old head flew up into the air as the first shots were fired. Cybermen charged hands held out. Daleks levitated into the air and started to shoot, trying to cover the Cybermen. The Gelth had picked out special weapons from the Torchwood weapons labs. The Cybermen were dropping as electricity bolts hit them, overloading their systems. Daleks were being pushed back.
Some Gelth were shot and their flesh melted, the blue ghosts gave themselves up to fly straight into the middle of a Dalek and destroy it from the inside. As the war raged the old head flew through the roof and realised that the humans had realised the death and had flown over huge bombs. The old head screeched and flew straight down through the torchwood building heading for his alter ego, Doctor Rash's, portal room.
The Bodyguard/New head of the gelth looked up just in time to see the planes overhead. He shouted to some of the gelth to dump their bodies and fly far away, the gelth had to survive. As four gelth blue ghosts flew out of the roof the torchwood building started to rumble, the new head looked up, the bomb hadn't been dropped, then he realised, the old head had activated 'it'
The old head looked at his old equipment, so many years of experiments, such a useless cause. He pressed a button on one of his consoles. The Torchwood building started to rumble, and the portal to another world opened, this portal going to the original world. The old head flew to a dead body and occupied it. As he got up and brushed some dust off of his new body he realised the new head was standing in the doorway.
"So you were going to just leave this world to be bombed to pieces? You sold us out to them, they knew our every move, they even knew the layout of the building." Yelled the new head
"Well, if you hadn't of betrayed me maybe things would be different." Said the old head
"If we had followed your plan we would have been in definite war!"
"Well your still in war but at least if you had followed me we may actually be winning!"
The two Gelth stared at each other listening to the screeches of the dieing Gelth, the portal was starting to get smaller, it would soon stop working forever.
"We could still join, go through the portal find another colony of Gelth, they are bound to be somewhere!" pleaded the old head
"No, I will not betray my people" said the new head
"Then you will die, this portal machine will be destroyed when that bomb drops, it will cause a cataclysmic event that will wipe this world from the face of the galaxy."
"I…fine I will follow you"
"No, I've changed my mind" said the old head ad he pulled out a gun and shot the shocked new head.
"Betrayal are your ways, you…cannot…call…yourself…a…gelth" said the new head as he died.
The old head turned around towards the Portal, he looked at his hands and the gun, he watched as the portal shut down and he ran into battle with the Daleks and Cybermen. He took out many Cybermen and lots of Daleks in the ensuing battle, all Gelth headed in for a final strike as the bomb fell. The Cybermen and Daleks were destroyed in an instant, the portal started to explode and the gelth melted into nothing. The final things that the old head saw was the ghost of the new head saying
"You are an honourable Gelth" The image faded, as did the old head.
The air itself turned to flame as the portal machine exploded. All life was wiped out in an instant and the parallel earth turned to dust, rocks and lava.
