10:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time

(Skipper's POV)

"what does this thing look like," Kowalski said. "We do not know," The Supreme said, "but it gives off power-readings." "So basically find a object that gives off umimaginable power," Kowalski said, "should be easy to find…" "And if we don't go on your wild goose chase?" I said. "Than Private will die…You have 12 hours!" "I have a trace!" Kowalski said. "lead the way," I said. "Your 12 hours start now!" The supreme replied, "Do not attempt to escape! We have secured the exits there is no escape! If you attempt to escape you will all be exterminated!"

"No escape," Kowalski said, "…got it." We walked out of the walnut room feeling the glare of the supreme at our backs. "Kowalski options," I whispered as we got onto the elevator. "The daleks have all the exits covered," Kowalski said, "if we do what the daleks ask then private lives...wait…I have a better idea…" "what?" "We get what the daleks want…then use it against them," Kowalski replied. "you're a mad genius Kowalski," I said, "Now where is this object…" "The basement," Kowalski replied. "Rico!" I shouted. Rico jumped up and hit the button for the basement. "Going down…"

Christmas music played as the elevator decended to the basement. DING! "basement going up." The doors slid open and we slid out. "Kowalski status report!" I shouted. "wait…I lost the trail…" Kowalski did a sweep with the paranormal detector. The detector beeped, "Eureka!" Kowalski shouted pointing to the next room, "That way!" we followed Kowalski thru the dimly lit basement into the next room. We pasted shelves filled with unopened cardboard boxes and clothing in plastic. "storage," Kowalski said. "all right," Rico said. "Rico we're not here to shop," I said, "we here to retrieve a powerful object…double cross the daleks…and rescue private!"

Kowalski slammed into something ahead of us. "it appears we have reached a wall Mr. Kowalski," I said. "The trail's gone cold," Kowalski said, "wait! I'm detecting something under the floorboards…" "stand back," I said, "Rico!" Rico hacked up his rocket launcher and fired at the floor creating a massive hole. "Kowalski lead the way!" I shouted. "flashlights," Kowalski said. Rico hacked up some flashlights and we entered a chamber under the building. The detector started to flash and make a lot of noise. "I didn't know it could do that," Kowalski said as the detector's…detector…started to spin rapidly. "what does the flashing, and the noise, and the spinning mean?" I said. "We're close," Kowalski said, "and the power readings are off the scales!"

"How are we on time," I said. "we have 11 hours," Kowalski replied. "how much farther," I said. "we should be upon the objects location in about…" A loud beeping sound boomed out of the paranormal detector, "Now," Kowalski said. Kowalski turned a corner into a large room. There were rows of shelves filled with metal boxes and in the center of the room was a massive crate with golden light flowing thru the lid. "Rico let's crack this thing open!" I shouted. Rico hacked up a crowbar and started to open the crate. The lid slid right off and we were blinded by intense light. Rico hacked up some shades and we proceed to remove the object. "And the object of immense power is," Kowalski said, "a big vat of rice pudding?"

"What!" I shouted, "Pudding doesn't glow like that." "Of course!" Kowalski said sticking his flippers into the rice pudding, "The perfect disguise! The object is in the pudding!" "Let see the object…" I said. "It appears to be some kind of metal container it's contents are heavy," Kowalski said, "it has a label that reads keep this device away from the daleks!" "how ironic," I said. Kowalski moved the box around to reveal that it was some sort of powercell. "No…the daleks can't have this!" Kowalski said. "What is that," I said. "Dark Energy powercell," Kowalski said, "in the wrong hands it could…" "what take out the entire eastern seaboard?" I said. "Accelerate the end of the universe actually…" Kowalski said.

"huh?" "what is dark energy anyway?" "Dark energy along with Dark matter is what makes up the majority of the mass of the universe." "anything else?" I said. "oh and it happens to act against the force of gravity to expand the universe," Kowalski said. "And how could the daleks use it to make the universe end." "One mistake," Kowalski said, "And the universe will expand uncontrollably until galaxies, star systems, planets, every living things, and the atoms that make them up will be ripped apart…" "instead of a big crunch…the universe will end with a big rip," Kowalski said. "Bad Ka-boom," Rico said. "what does it feel like to get ripped apart…" "I can promise that life in the universe will all end…painfully." "but what do the Daleks want with it…"

"Unlimited Power!" a familiar dalekified voice said. "Davros!" I shouted. "All praise Davros! All Praise Davros!" every dalek in the building chanted. "You can't have this powercell darvos!" Kowalski shouted. "Than Young Private will die," Davros replied. "What do you even need this thing for…" "it proves that dark energy can be harnessed!" Davros replied, "and with dark energy powercell in our possesion we will use that energy to power a new reality bomb! One that can not be stopped! AND MY CREATIONS WILL TAKE THEIR RIGHTFUL PLACE AS THE ONLY SPECIES IN EXISTANCE!" "All Praise Davros! All Praise Davros! All Praise Davros!"

"wait how are you going to do that…" Kowalski said, "their only one of them." "Yeah that's a pretty weak reality bomb," I said. "Oh really," Davros said, "behold the doctor's arrogance! Look around!" "All I see is a bunch of metal boxes," I said. "take another look," Davros said. We took another look at all the thousands of metal boxes on the shelves around us. "uh oh," rico said. Kowalski's eyes widened in shock, "Powercells!" he shouted, "their all dark energy powercells!" "Hand over the Dark Energy Powercells!" the supreme shouted. "NO!" Kowalski shouted only to get blasted by an arc of electricity from Davro's hand.

Private was escorted into the room by two daleks. "Surrender the powercell or Private dies!" "why does it matter your just going to kill us anyway," Private said. "Correct," the supreme replied. "wait a minute…you don't even need us to hand them over…your'll just take them!" I said. "you are sadly correct," Davros said. "Emergency Temporal shift!" every dalek in the room shouted. The daleks, Davros, Private and all the powercells disappeared leaving us alone in an empty room.
