Luna's prophecy
A few days later, the TARDIS landed in a park just a few metres away from Luna's home. The Doctor and Luna stepped out and headed towards the Edwards' home. As they walked, they held each other's hand. Since the events on the Satista, Luna hadn't stopped smiling. It was like a big weight was lifted off her shoulders and she could just scream with delight. On the outside, the Doctor seemed to be cool with the whole situation but Luna had spotted an extra bounce to his stride and a new glint in his eyes. They were blissfully unaware of the terrible events here on Earth. Everything in the park looked perfectly innocent. As far as they were concerned, children were in school and most people were at work. Everything seemed fine until they stepped out of the park gates. The streets were empty. Also there was evidence of bins, telephones, cars and trees that had damaged. It was too quiet.
"This is weird," Luna said, "Where is everyone?"
"Hmm, it's too quiet for Monday lunchtime," The Doctor agreed, "And what's with the damage to the street?"
"What's going on?"
"The best way to find out is to go and catch up with your mother. C'mon."
Luna followed the Doctor as they went to her house.
However, the landing of the TARDIS and the Doctor's presence hadn't gone unnoticed. Far away in Cardiff, Torchwood's monitors alerted the team to the temporal disturbance created by the TARDIS landing.
"Jack," Gwen called, "He's here."
Jack appeared over Gwen's shoulder and looked at the screen. There was a blue square positioned on a map of London. Gwen gave Jack the exact position and the Captain knew what to do. As he thought, Rhys had heard what his wife had said.
"What are you talking about, Gwen?" He asked.
Since the Daleks arrived on Earth, Rhys had been hiding in Torchwood hub with the team. Also Sarah Jane Smith, Luke and Clyde had joined the team in the underground base for safety. Martha and James were inside the Hub too.
"A friend of Jack's, called the Doctor, has saved Earth before and has experience in defeating the Daleks. But he doesn't live on Earth and only visits occasionally, so Jack asked me to look out for his ship landing."
"With the Doctor's help, we can get rid of those monsters for good," Jack continued, "Now, I'm going to find him."
"I'm coming with you, Jack." Martha said.
"Well, let's go now before we miss him."
Jack pulled on his coat on and the two companions dashed to the SUV.
However, they weren't the only ones who had been alerted to the presence of the TARDIS. The mastermind behind this particular invasion of the Daleks wasn't Davros. A tall handsome scientist stood staring at his computer screen and smiled sinisterly at the image of the TARDIS. He also had video footage of the Doctor and Luna leaving the blue box.
"There you are, my ultimate specimen," He whispered, silkily, "And what a beauty."
A Dalek hovered across and appeared at his shoulder.
"What are your orders?" It asked.
"Bring them to me," He replied, "But make sure they are alive. I will let you do what you want once my plan has taken effect."
The Dalek didn't reply but it hovered away. The human smirked arrogantly to himself.
Back in London, Luna and the Doctor arrived at the Edwards' household. As they walked towards to the door, Luna could feel a large pit of dread building in her stomach. She pulled out her keys and opened the door. As soon as the door was open, it was obvious that something was different. The house was eerily quiet. Luna looked at the Doctor worriedly, a feeling he reflected. Luna headed to the living room while the Doctor went to the kitchen. As he stepped across the tiles in his shoes, there was no sign of anyone. Luna stood in the doorway, feeling her eyes fill with tears. There was no sign of her mother any where and she was starting to fear the worse. Suddenly there was a loud exclaim and a squeal from the kitchen. She dashed to the door to see the Doctor crouched with his hands cupping the back of his head, groaning and her mother stood over him with a frying pan raised in her hands. Clearly, Victoria thought the Doctor was an intruder and smacked him on the head with her pan.
"THAT hurt!" He groaned.
"I… I'm… S… sorry…" Victoria stammered.
"Mum, its ok." Luna assured as she hugged her.
Clearly there was some real explaining to do.
A few minutes later, Victoria was sat at the kitchen table with a cup of tea Luna had made and the Doctor was sat opposite recovering. He was a bit dizzy but ok. Luna pulled out a bag of frozen peas and carefully placed it on the spot where he had been hit.
"Just hold it there for a bit." She told him.
"Thanks." He replied, feeling a bit silly.
"So, what's been going on, Mum? Where is everyone? And why are you acting so terrified?"
"It started a few days ago," Victoria replied, "The whole planet has been invaded and is being kept hostage by these aliens. Everyone is terrified to leave their homes."
"Have the Army done anything to help?" Luna asked.
"They've tried. They just got shot down. Only those who stand up against the aliens are destroyed. The rest of us are prisoners in our own homes."
"What creatures are they?" The Doctor asked, seriously.
Victoria looked up in to the Doctor's eyes. She knew that hearing the species name would shatter him but she knew he was the only one who could help.
"I'm sorry, Doctor," She whimpered, "It's them, the Daleks."
Luna turned her shocked gaze to the Doctor. For the first time in the time she had known him, she could see fear in his eyes. She remembered the damage the Daleks caused during the battle of Canary Wharf and had heard about their involvement in the Time War. Their effect on the Doctor was very deep and clear. Luna knew that this wasn't the news he wanted to hear and seeing him scared made her feel it too.
What are The Doctor and Luna going to do now? Wait and see.
