She is Returning Chapter 14 - The Battle Begins
They ran until they found a building that was still standing. She presses the heat signature damper as they enter the building. They run into a room only to come face to face with five more Daleks protecting something. Rose fires her weapon before they have a chance to speak; she keeps firing at them long after they've been destroyed.
"ROSE!" The Doctor screams at her.
She turns around and he sees vengeance in her eyes and it scares him. "Rose" he says again and places his hand on her shoulder. She brings her gun down slowly he feels her shoulders go up and down from her heavy breathing. She calms down and The Doctor grabbed her hand gently. "What happened to you?" He asked sadly. Rose looked him in the eyes slowly and he saw so much pain in them, pain he did not want to see. The same pain he saw in his own eyes.
Her body shook with pain as the jolt hit her; it felt like a million tiny fires burning all over her body. She crushed her teeth together to keep from screaming out in pain. She would not give them that satisfaction. Her body convulsed and everything went black. When she woke up it was completely dark she thought she was blind, but then realized that she was in a room with no light. She pulled herself up slowly wincing in pain from the electrical burns all over her body. She woke up again this time leaning against the wall. She had no idea how long she'd been out, still she could see nothing. Every so often they slid little bits of food and water through the slot in the door. She would wake up every now and then at the sound of screams in the rooms next to her, screams of her people and her team. Then it would be silent. They would suddenly open the door and shine bright lights blinding her eyes because they weren't used to the light. Then they would leave her again with a pounding headache causing her to lose her concentration so she couldn't think of plan to escape. She had no idea how long she'd been in there but then one day they opened the door and told her to come with them. She so weak from everything they've done to her and the light still blinded her so she couldn't fight back. She followed them with her closed and then she heard his voice, a voice that she would never forget. The voice that was behind all of this Davros!
"They'd kill everyone around…they made me watch" Rose told him taking her eyes off him and staring straight ahead.
The Doctor closed his eyes and squeezed her hand tighter. "I'm sorry" he tells her. "I'm so sorry"
"It's not your fault" She says
"It is, I could've killed him before any of this happened, I had so many chances" he says sadly.
"No, you couldn't" She starts "That's not who you are, life matters to you, all life and it should. You believe everyone deserves a chance to be saved. Never lose that part yourself Doctor" She tells him.
Donna watched the exchange in the background, she had not used her gun yet because Rose would just start firing at Daleks the second she saw them. The look in her eyes was scary it was like they were on fire. She saw the Doctor too and he looked sad as he reached out to touch her. Donna watched them then they heard a beeping sound coming from the other room.
They went to investigate it, when they walked into the room they saw huge machines everywhere. They looked around and saw various screens and buttons with alien writing on them. They heard a sound from behind them, they turned around and saw a lone Dalek enter, he was the same height as the other Daleks but it had a black and gold trim with white bumps on its skirt. The eye stalk lit up when it talked and the voice sounded hollower then voices Donna had heard before. "What is that one, why is it different?" Donna asked backing up with the Doctor and Rose.
"That's the Dalek General" The Doctor replied with both his arms outstretched over Donna and Rose.
Mickey picked himself up off the ground. "Fall back" he tells them helping Sarah Jane to her feet. They all ran to the nearest hallway and hid behind it. Mickey looked around one end while Lt. Roba looked across from him. The Daleks started coming through the hall in the wall, their eye stalks spinning to see if the humans survived. Mickey signaled to Lt. Roba and they both started firing and ducking as the Dalek's lasers fired back at them. Mickey pulled back and flattened himself against the wall just in time as a laser almost took his face off.
They saw the Daleks start to retreat. The sudden silence was deafening. They all looked at each other wondering what happened. But that didn't last long as Mickey's eyes widened in horror, when he saw the energy cannon of the Dalek that came through next.
"What's that?" He heard Wilf say in his ear piece. "Special Weapons Daleks" he replied back and he leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"They have Special Forces too?" Wilf said watching them enter on the screen. They were white with gold bumps with a grey dome top and red squares were the eye stalks of the regular Daleks usually were. "Do your weapons work against them?" He asked frantically.
"They damage them but they won't destroy them" Mickey replied. He ordered his team to start firing. The blasts of the lasers were making it difficult to see. Sarah Jane held her gun and was firing but they just kept coming at them like they were in no hurry. The ground shook and another hole was blasted through the wall right behind them. Mickey peeked through his eyes from his position on the ground and saw more come in, they were surrounded.
"Sorry to have to run, but this party is too hot for my liking" Jack said grabbing his team and pushing open the door on the side of them. They ran down hallway after hallway looking for an exit. They finally found one and Jack reached it first and pushed it open but stopped suddenly. He looked around, the darkened street was dead quite except for the crackling sparks of the street lamps. He saw the scorch marks on the poles and the glass littering the ground. He held out both his arms to keep the rest from going further outside.
The only sound they heard was heavy breathing and the beat of their own hearts. They looked out into the night; suddenly they were blinded by thousands of lights that seemed to be floating in the mid-air. With their hands acting as visors they watched as the lights came closer and they finally saw them.
"Those are black, why are they all black?" Ianto asked.
"Those are the Dalek field commanders, I'm seeing thousands don't try to engage them" he heard Martha's voice in his ear piece; he looked back and then remembered there were two Martha's.
"Then what do we do?" He asked her under his breath.
Jack looked at his team and they knew that those were much worse than ones they've encountered before. Jack nodded and they dropped their guns and raised their hands above their heads and waited. This was definitely different then the Daleks usual mo. Jack thought to himself.
Tbc….
