"That's how you put in co-ordinates," said the Lieutenant, as he finished showing Penelope how to fly the TARDIS.
"It's not easy, is it?" asked Penelope.
"It's not meant to be," said the Lieutenant, "but once you know how to... Right. Test," said the Lieutenant. "Ten-zero-eleven-zero-zero by zero-two from galactic zero centre," said the Lieutenant.
Penelope typed in the co-ordinates and pulled the Master Lever.
The TARDIS dematerialised and re-materialised.
The Lieutenant went to the door and looked out. He saw Gallifrey. He closed the door again. "Very good. Five-nine-seven by two-eight-one from galactic two-eight centre," said the Lieutenant.
Penelope typed in the co-ordinates and pulled the Master Lever.
The TARDIS dematerialised from Gallifrey and rematerialised.
The Lieutenant went to the door and looked out. He saw Alrakis. He closed the door again. "Very good. One more. T-V-One," he said.
Penelope typed in the co-ordinates and pulled the Master Lever.
The TARDIS dematerialised from Alkaris and re-materialised.
The Lieutenant went to the door and looked out. He saw Random, the Time Vortex stop-off. He closed the door again. "Very good," he said, moving to the console and pulling the Master Lever. "We're all set," he said.

The TARDIS materialised on Gallifrey.
The Lieutenant smiled evilly looking at the central column moving. "You may be wondering why I'm teaching you to pilot my TARDIS. Well it's all part of my Master Plan to kill Missy." He looked at her, still smiling.
"Great," said Penelope.
The Lieutenant clapped his hands. "So, the plan. We are going to lure Missy into a trap, she thinks she can best me, let's prove her wrong! I am going to find her and we'll probably have some speech which is what happens every time. Then I'm just going to shoot her point blanc. She'll expect it so that's where you come in and stab her in the back. After that you run back to the TARDIS and you'd better run fast! I'm going to have one final word with her and shoot her before running back to the TARDIS, you need to be quick and snappy," said the Lieutenant.
"Mhm," said Penelope.
Missy just looked at the TARDIS that had materialised in front of her and started backing away. She knew whose it was.
The Lieutenant walked to the door. "You know the plan. Follow it or else," he said. Then he opened the doors and smirked. "Hello Missy," he said.
Missy turned and ran.
The Lieutenant smirked and started walking after her.
Missy realised how cowardly she looked and she stopped, still facing the other way. "Hello, Lieutenant," she said.
Penelope followed uncertainly, her blade at the ready.
The Lieutenant slowly walked towards her. "I wouldn't have expected you to run. Having said that I never expected the Master to regenerate into a woman," he said, walking round to look at her face.
"I am the most evil. I've never tried to be good," said Missy in a small girly voice.
Penelope stood waiting to be told when to move.
"Yet I heard the Doctor was trying to turn you good? I wonder if he'd try to turn me back good," laughed the Lieutenant. "Never mind that now." He slowly reached for his gun in his pocket.
Missy didn't take her eyes off the Lieutenant's hand.
The Lieutenant smirked before quickly pulling out the gun and shooting towards her.
"Ah, ow!" she exclaimed, clutching her leg.
Penelope met the Lieutenant's eyes. "Oh, right," she said.
Missy saw. "Wait, what?" she gasped.
The Lieutenant rolled his eyes and sighed.
Missy was too late. Penelope stabbed her three times in the back. Then she ran back to the TARDIS.
The Lieutenant smiled and watched Penelope."Well done," he said to himself, walking over to Missy.
"Ow!" exclaimed Missy, falling to the ground.
Once back in the TARDIS, Penelope ran round to the Master Lever and lay her hand on it, waiting for the moment the Lieutenant ran in through that door.
The Lieutenant smiled and looked down at her. "Not as smart as you thought you were, eh, Missy?" he said.
Missy struggled to breathe.
The Lieutenant moved his gun and pointed it at her chest. "Goodbye, Missy, we won't be seeing each other again," he said, shooting her in the chest.
The Lieutenant smirked then started running back to the TARDIS, closing the door behind him as he ran in. "Go!"
Penelope pulled the Master Lever.
The TARDIS dematerialised.
Missy lay in a pool of her own blood, motionless.
"I'm not satisfied with the Iron Demon," said Flavia.
"Might I ask why, Lady President?" asked the Orcale.
"I said he wouldn't fail us," said Flavia, "I feel he has. He was meant to be constantly monitoring the Lieutenant's every move. He definitely hasn't done that," she said. "I want to pubish him. I want to put him on the Regeneration Games. We need witnesses, however. Pull down the Iron Demon and the Lieutenant," she said.
"Lady President," said the Oracle and went to do just that.
Inside the Iron Demon's TARDIS, a beeping came from the console and the TARDIS materialised.
"Gallifrey," uttered the Iron Demon, "what do they want this time?"
The Lieutenant's TARDIS console emitted a beeping and the TARDIS materialised.
The Lieutenant groaned and looked at the console. "Oh, not again! I am not going back! Not again!" He pulled the Master Lever, trying to get his TARDIS to leave. She refused to leave, sending sparks all over the console.
The Iron Demon stepped out of his TARDIS and saw the Lieutenant's TARDIS. His eyes travelled across the room to Flavia and the Oracle. "Hello!" he chimed.
The Lieutenant sighed and looked down. "Damn it," he said. He walked to the door and flung it open. "What do you want now!" he exclaimed, walking out.
Penelope followed him.
The Lieutenant looked at her. "Be careful, we've been brought back to Gallifrey for some reason," he said.
I hope you know why you're here," said Flavia to the Iron Demon, "Lieutenant, Penelope, will you be our witnesses today? she asked.
"I might have an idea," said the Iron Demon sheepishly.
"Witnesses? Witnesses to what?" asked the Lieutenant.
"The court. The punishment," said Flavia.
"The punishment? Are you finally punishing me?" he asked, dropping down into a chair and smirked crossing his legs and arms.
"A straight answer would be nice," said Flavia.
"So, it's not me then. In that case, sure, why not! It'll be fun! Watching someone else doing the killing for once," he said.
Flavia ignored his comments. "Penelope, sit down, please," she said.
Penelope sat down beside the Lieutenant and crossed her legs.
"Iron Demon, can you stand up there, please?" she asked, pointing to a podium.
The Iron Demon refused to move.
Flavia nodded to the Oracle.
The Lieutenant looked at them then at the podium, then he smiled brightly. He clapped his hands like an excited child. "Oh, I know what's happening! This is going to be fun!"
"The witnesses will remain quiet," said Flavia.
The Oracle moved forward and pulled the Iron Demon up to the podium.
The Lieutenant crossed his arms looking angrily at them.
Once the Iron Demon was up there, the lights in the court died down to darkness and a spotlight shone on the podium where the Iron Demon stood.
Flavia cut straight to the point. "We commissioned you, Iron Demon, what part of "Monitor the Lieutenant's every move, don't fail us", didn't you understand?" asked Flavia.
"You did what?!" exclaimed the Lieutenant.
"Shut up, Lieutenant," said Flavia.
The Lieutenant grumbled and mumbled under his breath.
"I...", started the Iron Demon.
"Every single one! I meant everywhere, everywhere the Lieutenant went. You were meant to be there. Do you realise how much of an embarrassment this is for the High Council?" shrieked Flavia. "I sentence you to regeneration by the Regeneration Games and, unlike the Doctor, it will take place here for all the court to see. You can't run," said Flavia, "there is a force field around you. You can't get out," she said. She began to force the regeneration.
"No! Please!" pleaded the Iron Demon. "Please! One more chance!"
Flavia pressed on.
The Iron Demon's hands began to glow golden, the energy slowly coming off him.
Flavia forced the regeneration a bit more.
"I just have one request," said the Iron Demon, as energy appeared at his neck. "Please make me handsome," he said. "Don't make me look like a clown." He lay his head back and energy slowly engulfed it and slowly came off his face.
Flavia was being gentle so as to not hurt him.
The transition to the next face was slow and regular until, finally, the next face, from the Regeneration Games, was staring up at the roof of the court, regeneration energy in his eyes. Slowly the energy faded until the Iron Demon was left standing there with his arms out and head back.
Flavia let go of the regeneration and dropped the force field.
The Iron Demon swayed on his feet, still standing as if he was regenerating and then he collapsed.
"Court dismissed, everyone out, quickly, go," barked Flavia.
The Lieutenant stayed exactly where he was, not moving.
"Lieutenant, Penelope, get out! Now!" she barked at them.
The Lieutenant frowned and looked at Penelope. "I'm quite comfortable. What about you, Penelope?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I am too," said Penelope.
Flavia looked as if she was about to force the Lieutenant's regeneration. "Get out. I won't tell you again," she said.
The Lieutenant gently held a gun in his hand, leaning back in his chair, "OK, just tell me, why do we have to leave?" he asked. Then he sighed when he was ignored. He got up. "Fine!" he exclaimed and walked out back to his TARDIS.
Penelope followed him.
The TARDIS dematerialised and re-materialised.
"I didn't know we were stopping off again, where are we now?" asked Penelope.
The Lieutenant walked around the console unit then looked at her, "What? Oh, we're going for a quick swim," he said.
"What? Seriously? You swimming?" she asked, laughing. She went down the TARDIS corridor, went into the wardrobe and dressed into a swimsuit. She came back to the console room.
The Lieutenant smirked and went to the door.
"You're swimming like that?" she asked.
The Lieutenant looked at her. "Of course, why not?" he asked.
They both left the TARDIS.
"Oh, it looks lovely," said Penelope, jumping straight in.
The TARDIS Cloister Bell chimed.
The Lieutenant watched as she jumped in and looked back at the TARDIS when the Cloister Bell chimed. He frowned and sighed softly before turning back to look at her.
Penelope sighed happily. "Come on, Lieutenant, in your clothes or not, it's really refreshing!" she exclaimed.
The Lieutenant smiled to her and just watched her. "I'll come in in a bit," he said.
Penelope kicked her legs happily.
The Lieutenant walked behind her. He looked down at her and took a breath, sighing slightly. He then grabbed her quickly and pushed her into the water, holding her head in it.
The TARDIS Cloister Bell chimed.
The Lieutenant pushed her deeper into the water holding her tighter in his hands.
Bubbles came from Penelope's mouth as she tried to scream. Her arms flailed as she tried to fight the Lieutenant.
The Lieutenant groaned and leaned against her pushing her head deeper into the water, avoiding her arms.
Penelope kicked out and flailed her arms in one last effort and then she was motionless.
The TARDIS Cloister Bell chimed.
The Lieutenant kept holding her down and waited until he was sure. He then slowly let go of her and pushed her into the water. He stood back and looked at her body. He looked slightly confused as he felt a tear roll down his face, he wiped it away and looked at it surprised. He then walked back to his TARDIS, opened the door and walked in.
The TARDIS dematerialised.
The Lieutenant stood at the console and looked down, sighing softly. He then looked up and smiled. "Finally," he said.
The Lieutenant will return on 31 October 2017.
