"Quick! Take out their eye stalk!" Amy and Rory shouted. They both turned their guns onto the four Daleks advancing toward them. "It's no use, we're just slowing them down, their shields are still up!" Rory said, firing straight into the Daleks blue eye but the bullet just bounced straight off. "Just hold them off till we can retreat back to the centre, stupid face!" Amy screeched. They both fired again into the metal onslaught and walked backward, the Daleks closed in.
"Madam Vastra we have to go, there are too many!" Jenny screamed across at Vastra as she hit another Dalek's gun with her sword, denting it slightly. Strax had already joined Jenny and was shooting at a battered Dalek who seemed more battle scared than the others, "Dalek, you will surrender to the mighty Sontaran empire!" he bellowed out, but the Dalek just carried on advancing. The three friends backed against the wall, Daleks all around them, "If this is the end Jenny, I..." Vastra looked across but Jenny was staring straight ahead, smiling. Vastra looked at what Jenny was smiling at and a smile graced her lips also. "Hello again!" Martha waved, Jack and Mickey had guns pointed directly at a pile of three smoking Daleks. "You may want one these!" Martha threw three large black guns at the feet of Vastra, Jenny and Strax, "The villagers had a few of them, only enough for the six of us." Vastra, Jenny and Strax picked up the guns and fired at the Daleks. Sparks flew and the team of six retreated to the centre of the church to fight it out.
"This is totally ridiculous!" Donna shouted across to Rose who was repeatedly banging a now rather senseless Dalek on the head. "SYS...SYSTEMS...FAIL...FAILING..." The Dalek's eye piece dimmed and blackened, Handy, who had been watching his wife's anger found it all rather amusing and smirked, "Leave some for the rest to kill dear!" he teased, Rose looked across at John leaning against the wall and narrowed her eyes, "Well at least try to help Dear!" she replied sarcastically. He sighed and pushed himself from the wall, reached for a large black mallet and began hammering on the next Dalek's head.
"Run!" the three of them turned to the female voice. Amy and Rory ran toward them, "We've set an explosive charge on one of the Daleks!" Amy said as she whizzed past, "You might want to follow us to the centre!" Rory added as he ran behind his wife. Handy grabbed both Donna's and Rose's hand,
"Allons-y!" he leaped forward pulling the two women behind him.
"Where's the TARDIS?!" Clara called to the Doctor over a radio she had been given by one of the villagers. A long pause gave her time to look around the area. All the Daleks were now inside the church and Charlotte had very calmly given instructions to the Villagers to leave via the crypt under the church. Clara had wondered how the little girl knew so much. Charlotte answered with far more age and worry than she physically appeared, "There were maps of all sorts of places in the library. I spent centuries with an entire universe of information at my fingertips, but all I ever wanted was a normal life, it was only really when River adopted me I learned the use of the knowledge I had access to. River taught me the importance of understanding the past and respecting the future unseen, but even I didn't know why she felt that way, I guess her relationship with my Dad now makes it clear. They won't leave me, will they?" Clara put a reassuring hand on the young girl's shoulder, "They love you C.A.L., I see the love in their eyes." Charlotte looked up at Clara, "Actually it's C.A.S. now, I called myself Charlotte Abigail Song after River adopted me, does the Doctor have a surname?" Clara's smiled faulted briefly, "I don't know...Only River and him know his real name, A timelord's name is only revealed to the one they truly marry. It's a secret even his closest friends and family don't know..." Charlotte took Clara's hand, "It's alright Clara. The best stories have the biggest secrets! I know that! The Doctor's stories are my favourite, though my mummy's are just as amazing!" Clara smiled then realised the Doctor was talking to them. "Clara and Charlotte, can you hear me?!" Clara nearly dropped the radio, "Yes! YES! We're here, where's the TARDIS? Can't you call it?" "We have, You can come down now, the Torchwood team will meet you at the bottom of the stairs. Charlotte before you ask, Mum is amazing!" there was a small pause before the Doctor continued, sounding irritated "River, really, I know everyone else is shooting the Daleks, but that doesn't mean you can swing that gun of yours around just shooting every one of them that moves, they're running away from you honey, you can stop now!" the radio cut off as the Doctor got involved in another domestic with his wife. Clara shrugged and Charlotte tugged Clara down the stairs to meet Jack and the others. "All the others are in the TARDIS," Jack said as the two girls met up with him "except Song and the Doctors, they're still shooting. Well Song is shooting, the Doctors are just pointing their Screwdrivers at any Dalek that comes near. Do you want to watch, it's hilarious!" The trio ran to safety of the TARDIS, electronic shooting could be heard behind it.
When Clara rounded the corner of the ship she stopped dead in her tracks. Ahead of her the two Doctors and River were pressed against each other's backs, all shouting to each other, green and red flashes zooming from River's two guns and the Doctors' two sonics.
"Honey, how many more?!" the Doctor shouted above the noise,
"I don't know, we've taken out at least fifteen! How many have the others got?" River asked exasperated.
"I'll check. Oi, team TARDIS! How many Daleks did you guys get?!" Raggedy looked at the group briefly then carried on pointing his sonic at the metal soldiers. The group looked at one another and totalled up the tally, "erm...five..." Jack mumbled. The Doctor wheeled round, a steely look of disdain etched into his features, "Five between you! What were you all doing? You weren't laying down on the job were you!" he shouted in disbelief, River kicked the back of his knee in defence of the group. Raggedy hadn't noticed this and threw his hands in the air, "What is the point in having you all?!" he exclaimed. River smacked him over the back of the head and then aimed at another Dalek, a red blast hitting it straight in it's eye socket, knocking it out with a massive explosion of sparks, "That's twenty one, and for everyone's information, I killed nine of those fifteen Daleks. If the both of you sentimental idiots aren't going to be of use then shut up and drive!"
"Yes dear..." the Doctors both replied in unison. The two timelords stopped swinging round their Sonics and sprinted into the TARDIS, starting up the engines. River shouted to them inside, "I bet you the last jammy dodger in your tin that I can kill the last nineteen in one swoop!" She exclaimed confidently. The Doctor chuckled happily but Raggedy must have felt the deal unfair as he whined a plaintive response, "This isn't a contest Honey, your life is at stake you know!" River swung her guns in her fingers, dodging a pulse from one of the Daleks' guns. "I'm quite aware Sweetie,my life is usually at stake, you don't have to remind me, are you ready yet? The Daleks are getting a little," she dodged two more shots and growled in the direction of the two men, "agitated...Are you two even listening? I SAID..."
"Yes! Yes! River, we heard you, we're ready, end this now!" the Doctor ordered, River sighed and lifted her guns in opposite directions slowly, "Here goes..." she fired two shots simultaneously at the two nearest Daleks then span and shot the next two perpendicular to the first shots. Four down, she span her guns and took out further five in an elegant spin, then ducked as two shots fired over her head, she span on her toes from a crouch and took out the two perpetrators of the shots. Clara and the others looked on in awe, River's cold look as she hacked through another five Daleks in various methods showed the efficiency and merciless nature of her conditioning. "What did the silence do to her when she was a little girl to turn her into this...this...killer?" Rose breathed, tears touching at her eyes, Amy and Rory stood in silence, resembling statues, no expression on their face. Amy answered with an icy touch to her voice, "They blamed all her pain they subjected her to on them." she nodded to the Doctors, the men stood staring at the console screen, eyes following River's every move as she took out two more. Rory put an arm round his wife, "She became the perfect weapon, so she could destroy the man who separated her from her family." Clara looked out at River pointing both her guns at the last remaining Dalek. "What stopped her? What stopped her killing him?" River shot the last Dalek, swiftly, holstered her guns and had heard Clara's question to the group as she walked into the ship.
"It turned out he was part of my family two, He had spent a long time looking for me and would stop at nothing to get me back. He went to war for me... He was willing to die for someone I thought he hardly even knew, little did I know till later, he had known me for over a century already. My Doctor would always be there to save me...So what else could I do but spare him." she answered softly, betraying the real personality under the hot-headed mask she wore most of the time. The Doctor and Raggedy both placed their hands on their hips, "Don't forget how much you fancied me dear!" The Doctor cooed. "You said I was hot!" Raggedy added proudly, adjusting his bow tie which was already straight.
"I lie Sweetie, just like you!" River smiled and closed her eyes after bouncing onto the pilot's seat. Both Doctors looked at each other then at River, who chuckled with her eyes still closed, "I'm joking, you're both amazing! Now," she opened her eyes and leaped out the seat, "Where's my biscuit?"
