So where has River taken them all this time?
"And gently down!" the Doctor said confidently. The TARDIS landed with an uncomfortable thud.
"Where are we now?" Clara prodded the Doctor who was twirling his screwdriver lazily.
"The planet Telminous, edge of the human frontier, beyond here, It's Dalek space." the Doctor said giving Raggedy a serious look, he returned it and then clapped his hands. "Right come along Ponds, and er, everyone else..." he span and waited for his mature counterpart to join him. Like a child waiting to go in a sweet shop, Raggedy tapped his foot.
The group stepped out of the TARDIS into a square, people dressed in soldier's gear stood all around. Men, women, and children all looking at the strange blue box that appeared in front of them.
"Hello soldier people!" Raggedy extended a hand to the nearest person, a young woman, who looked at the hand with great suspicion, before taking it gently and shaking it, "You're dead..." Raggedy rolled his eyes "And it's nice to meet you two." he replied.
"Christmas? You died. I was one of the villagers, I'm ..."
"Katherine!" both Doctors cheered. The Doctor joined his younger self and shook her hand.
"You were nine!" the Doctor smiled.
"You regenerated!" Katherine beamed.
"Where are we Katherine, where on Telminous?" the Doctor turned serious all of a sudden.
"The frontier village of Kiale. We are the last survivors of the battle squadron against the Dalek attack fleet, it's so good you came!" The Doctor shared a sad look with his younger self, "Did you send the message?" he asked Katherine.
"What message? We didn't send any message, we just saw you arrive and..." A scream erupted from one of the children, and their mother quickly turned to comfort him, but she staggered backward. "Daleks! Quick we must hide!" she screeched at the army. The group were pulled and pushed along, the TARDIS dissolved out of sight, her invisibility cloak now in working order.
The group found themselves in an old converted church, windows boarded up with thick metal plates. The children were all hidden in a secret compartment. The Doctor hid Charlotte there as well, and gave her a kiss on her forehead for her comfort and his own.
"Doctor what do we do?" Clara asked, worry in the back of her voice.
The torchwood team and Vastra, Jenny and Strax all pulled out weapons, "We fight!" Jack growled toward the Doctor, his eyes pointed toward the doors.
A banging at the doors made the group quiver. The metal doors gave way revealing two Daleks, their casing glistening eerily.
"DOCTOR SPOTTED! EXTERMINATE!EXTERMINATE!"
The Daleks were about to fire when explosions erupted from their head plates, running down their bodies. The villagers screamed and hid behind the church seats, but the group just stood and stared at the deceased Daleks, wonder on their faces.
The Daleks fizzled and died. The villagers who were huddled together looked around,confused by who could have destroyed the attackers. "We didn't have time to get the good weapons," Katherine breathed, "And besides, most of our weapons only slow down the Daleks, not destroy them."
The two Doctors walked forward as a figure that wore a black cloak pushed the Dalek shells over as she passed through the middle of them. The cloak hugged her waist and she hid her two guns in holsters at her hips.
"Hello honey!" Raggedy chirped.
"What sort of time do you call this?" the Doctor smiled.
