Luna's Prophecy
As the two time-travellers enjoyed the rest of the light show, the Earth was about to become host to a dangerous intruder. It was a normal day in the UK as Victoria Edwards, Luna's adoptive mother, wandered through Camden market shopping. She already had carrier bags of the weekly shop and was heading for a coffee. But as she walked past a shop window, one of the posters in the window caught her eye. The poster was covered in beautifully detailed pictures of planets and stars in the solar system. It reminded Victoria of Luna and where she was. Although she was sure that Luna was safe with the Doctor, there was still a worry about when Victoria would next see her adoptive daughter again. Sometimes, she felt alone, especially back at the house. That place was so quiet now without Luna there. The young brunette's room was exactly as Luna left it from her last visit and the house was quite lonely. But Victoria reassured herself that Luna was happy where she was. She smiled sadly to herself then turned and carried on walking, unaware of the events beginning to unfold.
In Cardiff, Jack, Gwen and Ianto were working away in the Hub when their monitoring equipment started beeping insistently. Gwen typed at her computer until the reading came up.
"It looks like there is an alien species here on Earth." She explained.
"What is it?" Ianto asked.
"I can't really tell. The computer can't identify it."
"Can you tell how many there are?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, there are at least a hundred of them. They are all in London."
Jack stared at the screen, thinking about what to do. These aliens were unknown and far away from Cardiff. In a way, he was tempted to leave it but something was telling him that this alien species was very dangerous. Then a thought came to him. He pulled out his mobile phone and dialled a familiar number.
Meanwhile in London at the UNIT headquarters, the representatives of both the British wing and the American wing of the organisation had met after detecting the same signal as Torchwood. Colonel Mace and Colonel Harrison were both sat looking at the details on the screen.
"I just can't work out how these aliens managed to land on Earth without being detected." Harrison sighed.
"Who ever they are," Mace replied, "They must have very advanced technology. What do you think they could be?"
Mace and Harrison weren't alone in the boardroom. Doctor Martha Jones had accompanied Colonel Mace to HQ because of her experiences with the Doctor. Also Colonel Harrison had brought James Cooper, once a Private now a Sergeant, who Luna and The Doctor met in Denver and fought the Cybermen together.
"I'm not sure," Martha replied, "But I can't help but feel that this is a very dangerous species. Earth could be in a lot of trouble."
Suddenly, Martha's phone rang. She felt slightly embarrassed until she read the screen
"Sir," She addressed Mace, "It's Captain Jack Harkness. He may know what's going on."
"Ok," Mace replied, "Answer it."
She pressed the button.
"Jack?"
"Martha, have you seen what's happening in London?"
"Yes, Colonel Mace and I are discussing it with Colonel Harrison."
"What do you all think they are?"
"We're not sure. There's been no visual contact as of yet. But I've got a really awful feeling."
"That makes two of us. Have you heard from the Doctor?"
"No. I was hoping you had."
"He must be some where else."
"What should we do in the meantime?"
"Tell Mace and Harrison to keep monitoring these aliens and we'll do the same. Until we know what we are dealing with, there's not much we can do."
"I will. Thanks Jack."
"Take care, Martha."
They hung up and Martha told the three men what the Captain had said.
Back on the streets London, Luke Smith and Clyde Langer were walking back home from a day hanging out in the centre of London. They had been shopping and were enjoying the quiet time from tackling aliens. Sarah Jane was back in Ealing working at the computer and Rani was away on holiday with her parents in the South of France. But as the two boys walked home, they heard a small explosion followed by screaming from further down the street. They turned around to see a huge crowd of people stampeding towards them. They were a mix of men, women and kids, all screaming and running frantically for their lives. The two boys had dive out of the way to save themselves from being stood on or separated.
"What's going on?" Clyde asked, "Why are they all running?"
"I don't know," Luke replied, "But I bet it isn't good."
Then as the last of the crowd ran past, Luke and Clyde saw them. There were creatures of metal gliding through the sky, randomly shooting at lampposts, trash cans and parked cars. Their eyes widened in horror
"Not again!" Luke gasped.
They then ran for their lives.
Across the city, Victoria was on the bus trundling back home. She was about to get to her stop and get off. The bus pulled up at the stop to let her and other passengers off. As it sat there, everyone was alerted to the sound of a whine then a bang. Everyone stood up and darted off the bus to see what had happened. Victoria looked up to see people running towards her.
"THERE, IN THE SKY!" Someone shouted.
"THEY'RE BACK!" Someone else screamed.
Victoria looked up in to the sky and saw the same metal creatures that Luke and Clyde were now running from. Clutching her bags tight and close to her, she joined the crowd and ran home as fast as possible. Her life depended on her get home safe.
After running all the way back home, Luke and Clyde crashed through the door of Sarah Jane's attic. The journalist jumped in shock at the suddenness of their arrival. The boys were panting heavily and they were pale with fear.
"Luke! Clyde!" She said in surprise, "What's the matter?"
"Mum! It's the Daleks. We were chased by the Daleks!"
Sarah Jane felt her blood run cold, her heart beat race and her eyes fill with tears. This was impossible.
Back at Torchwood, Jack, Gwen and Ianto were trying to figure out what the aliens they had detected were. As they typed and read the data, their small television in the corner caught Ianto's attention. There was a breaking news story. His eyes widened with horror.
"Jack, Gwen," He said shakily, "Look at the TV."
They both turned and were shocked by what they saw.
In the UNIT base, Harrison, Mace and Martha were waiting for news of if they were any closer to identifying the new aliens. Suddenly, James crashed in to the room panting and looking spooked.
"Look at the News on the TV." He breathed.
Martha switched the television on and they were met by the same report that Torchwood were watching.
"About ten minutes ago, a series of horrific attacks were unleashed on the city of London," The anchor man explained, trying to remain calm, "Large metallic creatures appeared in the skies above the capital and began chasing people through the streets, shooting at random inanimate objects as they went. Only those courageous enough to stop and fight back were destroyed. Even now, these deadly creatures are roaming the streets, spreading fear and terror here on the streets of London. One of our reporters was lucky enough to capture an image of the creatures in question."
Then the screen was filled by the image of the most dangerous creature known to Torchwood, UNIT, Sarah Jane, her team and the Doctor himself.
"They are daleks." Martha gasped.
"That's impossible." Jack breathed.
"This can't be happening." Sarah Jane whimpered.
"Viewers are advised to stay in their homes and not to try and tackle these creatures themselves. There is no indication of how many of these creatures there are but they are spreading through out the country and to other countries. Good Luck everyone."
Yep, the Daleks are back! Jack's back! Martha's Back! And Sarah Jane's back! For the next few chapters please bear with me, I've never written with the Daleks before so if I write them rubbish, I'm sorry to in advance. Anyway, what will happen when the Doctor and Luna realise the whole planet is under attack...? Review and stay tuned.
