Hey! So it's half past nine British time and the rest of my family have gone to bed (lightweights) so I thought I'd write the third chapter to this. I was gonna keep you all waiting but I couldn't tear myself away from writing this :')

Chapter 3
Donna ran around the TARDIS pressing buttons, pulling levers and turning dials. It was lucky she was still part Time Lord otherwise her plan would not be able to work, theoretically. There was still a chance it wouldn't work, and she had to time it perfectly, or the Doctor would just return and die with her.
The Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS and was surrounded by at least a hundred Daleks, a bright green one facing him in the centre of the circle. Just behind the furthest Dalek was a pulsating mass of matter that had electricity running through it that was the same blue as a Dalek's eye stalk. A life support machine if the Doctor ever saw one, all he had to do was destroy it and every Dalek on the planet would combust and hopefully leave the planet forever. Fat chance.
"Doctor. We predicted you would come." Croaked the bright green Dalek facing him, he must be some kind of leader the Doctor thought. "Are you ready to witness this precious planet of yours burn?"
"As if you'd be able to do that" the Doctor sneered, rage in his voice after seeing his old enemy come back.
"Ah, but you see, this mass behind me is not just a life support machine as you have already guessed. It's a gigantic bomb that runs off Z-Neutrino energy, now only found in Earth's crust. This bomb, when fully charged in 18 minutes and 24 seconds will rip this planet's crust apart, tearing into it. And there is nothing you can do about it. One move and at least 50 Daleks will exterminate you on the spot." The green Dalek sneered to the Doctor.
Damn them, he thought. He had no way to stop them. And it wasn't like talking to them could delay them, he had nineteen minutes to run away, like he always did. And Donna had just ten minutes before she exploded in a huge bang, ripping apart anything within 10 miles of her.
Donna pressed the last button on the TARDIS and looked at the screen, which had now split into two. One half said 8 minutes and 12 seconds remaining, the other said the TARDIS will depart to Mars on the instant the Doctor stepped inside the TARDIS. Donna waited for the longest four minutes of her life before stepping out of the TARDIS and walking into another army of Daleks, none of them aware they were about to meet their doom.
To be continued…
