Ruri and the Doctor headed back to the TARDIS, running straight to the console as they entered. The Doctor began to press different buttons on the console.

"Why did you say the cybermen were after me?" Ruri asked, joining him at the console. "I mean, why send a cyber-rat thing into my flat?" She watched him closely, he turned to her.

"Me." He stated simply. "They were after you... because of me." He sighed. "You bumped into me twice, they've been watching my movements lately... Apparently." He looked away. "But this is what happens, Ruri." He paused, his voice becoming laced with emotion. "People I know get hurt, and danger follows them... Because they follow me." He shook his head, beginning to press the buttons again. Ruri's expression softened. She felt sorry for him. She placed her hand gently on his arm, giving him a small smile.

"But you saved me, didn't you?" She raised an eyebrow, still sending him a smile. He stopped what he was doing, slowly lifting his head. "Because I would have been turned into some sort of metal woman if you hadn't have come along." She told him, causing him to give her a brief smile. "So don't be too hard on yourself." He was about to respond when the TARDIS suddenly jolted, knocking them both back. The Doctor managed to grab onto the console and grabbed Ruri too, stopping her from falling back. "What's happening?!" She exclaimed as the TARDIS began to shake again, indicating it was moving. The Doctor pulled the scanner round, looking at the screen.

"The TARDIS is being teleported..." He narrowed his eyes, turning to face Ruri. The TARDIS then stopped shaking, everything calm again.

"I'm going to take a wild guess here..." Ruri began, her eyes wide, worried. "That it was the cybermen that have teleported the TARDIS onto their ship." She stood up straight, looking towards the door. "Ok... So plan? Got one? A new one? One that will work?" She rushed out, panic rising.

"My plans always work!" He exclaimed, Ruri raising her eyebrows. "Okay... Maybe not always..." He sighed, giving in. "At the moment, no to all of those questions."

"Can't you just fly the TARDIS away?" She asked hopefully.

"They've locked it here somehow... We can't fly it away until we break the lock." He told her, turning to her. "Right so... I have a plan. A new one. And one that might just work." He grinned.

"Great! What is it?" Ruri smiled with him as he headed towards the door. She began to follow but he stopped at the door and turned.

"No. Just me." He told her. "Too dangerous." Ruri furrowed her eyebrows.

"What? You're just going to leave me in here whilst you go out there and... and..." She paused, trying to find the right words. "Perform your 'might just work' plan?" She exclaimed, folding her arms.

"Well..." The Doctor rolled his eyes, leaning on the door. "Yes... It usually works. I'll just be a target. It's fine." He waved his hand. "Just promise me you'll stay here." Ruri sighed, turning away and heading to the first steps up to the console, sitting down on them, crossing her legs and folding her arms. "Oh..." The Doctor looked surprised.

"What?" She asked, confused.

"Nothing. It's just..." He paused, his expression still shock. "That's new. A companion that listens." He half smiled.

"Yeah well..." Ruri shrugged. "Be careful ok? Don't die." She narrowed her eyes. "I don't want to be trapped in here forever." He smirked before turning and opening the door, leaving the TARDIS. As soon as he left Ruri stood up and walked to the console. "Right. Plan time..." She muttered to herself as she began to think of a plan. "But I don't know how to make a plan against metal men." She sighed, shaking her head. But she knew she couldn't just stay in the TARDIS and do nothing. She ran to the door, grabbing the handle and opening it slightly so she could see. She peered out, seeing a different room from before. It was still metallic looking, but had an odd looking chair in the centre with an odd looking head set handing above it. She narrowed her eyes as she couldn't see the Doctor or anyone in the room. She opened the door wider, checking the all clear. She slowly stepped, looking round, quietly closing the door behind her. She began to walk forward, careful of where she was stepping. She looked at the chair as she walked past it towards a metal door. Ruri then saw on the wall a line of guns. They were big. Big guns. 'Metal men with guns... Ok.' They looked too heavy for her to carry. She stood in front of the metal door and looked beside it, seeing a red button. She pressed it as the door split into two, opening, revealing a corridor. She hesitantly stepped through the door and headed down the corridor. Panic was rising as she felt uneasy. The doors shut behind her, causing her to jump and turn to see it shut. 'Okay... Calm...' She thought, carrying on down the corridor. That's when she started to hear distant voices... A familiar voice and a robotic voice. She headed in the direction of the voices, coming to another room which looked like a control room. She peered round the corner, to look in to the room, seeing the Doctor who was holding up... A jammy dodger?

"You've been here years... Rebuilding yourselves... Looking for the right power source to power your ship and then you found my ship." The Doctor spoke to a cyberman. There were at least five stood in the control room. "There's five of you and there's one of me... Are you scared yet?" Ruri was shocked at how dark he sounded. He sounded intimidating, and she would be scared if she was a cyberman.

"We do not feel emotions." A cyberman spoke up, it's eyes glowing blue. "You feel emotions." It stated.

"You've been feeding off the buildings power... Sharing their electric." He stated, ignoring the cyberman. "Your bills must be expensive." He joked, the cybermen staring at him with a blank expression.

"Scan complete." Another cyberman spoke. The Doctor turned to it. "The Doctor has no weapon." It stated as the Doctor sighed.

"Alright, it's a jammy dodger." He then threw the biscuit behind him over his shoulder. "Worth a shot. Should have learnt from last time, but that's what happens when you have half a plan." He clapped his hands together.

"You will be upgraded." It spoke again, its voice monotone. The Doctor then laughed in a mocking manner.

"I don't think so mate, you haven't got the technology." He narrowed his eyes. "You can't upgrade me. I'm not human." He stated, his hands at his sides, balling into fists then releasing again, like an odd twitch.

"We have little power, but we have upgraded." Another cyberman stated as tiny metal creatures appeared out of nowhere, heading towards the Doctor. They looked like small versions of the creature from before. He began to back away, but they kept moving towards him, eventually getting on his body, making him twitch, trying to get them away. He bent over, yelling slightly. Ruri watched in horror, frozen to the spot, knowing she couldn't stop it. He then lifted himself back up, revealing he had metal pieces stuck to one side of his face. He smirked. "Incorporated. Yes. Ah. Unfamiliar pulmonary set-up." He tapped himself down. "Nervous system hyper-conductive. Remarkable brain processing speed." He grinned, laughing darkly. "Ho, ho. Amazing." He said in a sing-song tone, still grinning. The grin soon disappeared as his posture changed and his voice turned back to normal. "Get out of my head!" He exclaimed, frustrated. Ruri panicked not knowing what to do. However, the other 'Doctor' returned, rambling on. She shook her head. She needed to stop him. She formed part of a plan, running back to the room the TARDIS was placed in. She pressed the red button, opening the metal door and ran to the guns on the wall, sighing. 'Right... Focus. Upper body strength.' She thought, grabbing one of the guns and pulling it down. It wasn't as heavy as it looked, but it was still some weight to carry. She then headed back to where she was previously, hiding behind the corridor wall, peering in at the room, seeing the Doctor at the controls, doing different things whilst the cybermen did other things. She took a deep breath, reconsidering her plan. But she had nothing else. 'Ok... Ok... Be brave.' She could feel her heart beating fast. 'Go.' She turned round the corner, holding the gun up, entering the room. She aimed it at 'the Doctor'.

"OI!" She exclaimed, getting his attention. He turned on his heel, facing her. The cybermen also turned in her direction.

"Let him go..."


Hello lovely readers! Thank you for still reading! I sometimes feel the Doctor is slightly OOC... I don't know whether it's just me or not... But if he is please do let me know! I'm trying to add more of his mannerisms.

Also, thought it would be interesting to add the Cyberplanner into the story as I think quite a few whovians liked seeing the Doctor with a menacing side... Anyway! Thanks again and happy reading!
