Lieutenant Adventures Series 11 Chapter 6 5 August 2017. Disowned.
The TARDIS made an emergency landing in the Death Zone on Gallifrey.
The Lieutenant slammed his fist down on the console and sparks flew out when he did so. "I swear, seriously, don't start this bloody annoyance again. If Missy is out there, she's dead," said the Lieutenant furiously.
There was a loud banging outside like asteroids plummeting from the sky.
"My gun is fully loaded, my knife newly sharpened," said Penelope.
"Come on, then," said the Lieutenant. He left the TARDIS, followed by Penelope.
It was in fact raining asteroids in the Death Zone.
"Come on, then, Missy, show yourself, you pathetic coward, pathetic excuse for a Time Lord," said the Lieutenant, walking forward.
Just then, an asteroid fell on the Lieutenant's head and blood splattered everywhere. The Lieutenant was knocked out.

Penelope looked down at the motionless Lieutenant. She wiped his blood off her face. "Well, I have to get him out of here now, anyway, or we'll both be killed," sad Penelope, frustrated. She picked him up, and held him. "So never doing this again," she said, while beginning to run towards caves she could see, unaware of the actual dangers of the Death Zone.
A TARDIS made an emergency landing somewhere.
Penelope didn't really care, her friend and her were in danger and she needed to protect hm from further harm. This was a matter of life and death.
A man ran towards them with a very big and weird-looking umbrella.
"HALT! HALT! I SAID STOP!" yelled the man, suddenly stopping at the same time as Penelope. "See? See that tiny silver thing there?" he asked.
"What? No! Of course I don't, I'm carrying this idiot," said Penelope.
"It's a landmine. You were about to run over it, then where would you be? In the Matrix, that's where," said the Iron Demon.
"What's with the big silly umbrella? I could have done with that before he was knocked out, thicko," said Penelope.
"Penelope, you know I am directly employed by the Time Lords, you know that. My job is to keep an eye on "this idiot", as you call him, and to protect you. After all, we chose you for him, not vice-versa. You are our responsibility, we don't care about him, he can die for all we care, but you can't," said the Iron Demon, "except, they won't let me kill him."
"Neither will I," said Penelope.
"Yes, well,we're not safe here," said the Iron Demon, moving onwards, "quickly, we're nearly at the cave, oh! Mind the Cybermen," he said.
When they finally reached the cave, Penelope dropped the Lieutenant straight onto the floor. "Oooh, my back, never lifting him again," she said.
"I'm not either," said the Iron Demon.
"I suppose I'll have to do it then," sighed Penelope.
"Yep," said the Iron Demon.
"What now then?" asked Penelope.
"Nothing we can do but wait," said the Iron Demon.
So, in the meantime, while the Lieutenant was out of it, Penelope and the Iron Demon set up a camp fire and killed stray animals and roasted them over the fire for food. At night, they went out fighting whatever beasts and creatures came out in the Death Zone and having fun. They were sitting there having dinner the second night when the Lieutenant stirred.
The Lieutenant fidgeted slightly and groaned softly.
"Is he coming round?" asked Penelope.
"Yes, I'm afraid so," said the Iron Demon. "He'll be awake in the morning."
That night, however, Penelope and the Iron Demon went fighting anyway but they cut it short to make sure they got back to the cave before the Lieutenant woke up. It wasn't raining asteroids anymore. When they got back to the cave, the Lieutenant stirred again.
The Lieutenant rolled onto his side, groaning again.
"Right, jump into action, pick up," said the Iron Demon.
"I thought you were this time!" exclaimed Penelope.
"No! No. I said I wasn't," said the Iron Demon.
"I thought you were joking," said Penelope, struggling to lift him.
Penelope and the Iron Demon ran back across the Death Zone, the Iron Demon warning Penelope of landmines and fighting off Daleks, Cybermen, Ood, Judoon and Weeping Angels as they went along. Around half-way through, the Lieutenant started to come round.
The Lieutenant groaned softly. He knew he was moving but couldn't work out why or how. His eyes remained closed as he was only just starting to come round. He could hear a lot of fighting.
When they reached the Lieutenant's TARDIS, the Iron Demon briefly stood still. "Lovely to meet you again, don't mind if you don't stick around, far too dangerous," he said before running off.
"Yeah, thanks, bye," said Penelope.
The Lieutenant then stirred again. He groaned softly. 'I'm going to hurt her for that,' he thought to himself. He woke up. He looked around himself, he was back on the TARDIS. He heaved himself himself up and dematerialised the TARDIS. "What did you let that happen for?" he asked Penelope. He suddenly realised there was a bandage around his head.
"I'll tell you later, it wasn't easy, where did you go, you've been out for three days," said Penelope.
"No, sorry, don't talk, my head is sore enough as it is," said the Lieutenant.
NEXT TIME:
"Ssshhh," said Flavia, almost angrily. "These are Gallifrey's darkest secrets."
"Lady President, I don't understand, why though, you didn't do this, did you?" asked the Oracle.
Breathing heavily, trying to recover, the Lieutenant pulled the Master Lever.
