Well, here's part four and this will likely be the last part as I don't appear to have much left in this episode. Getting on to the next one today would be nice. I'm in my mum's shop and I'm hiding in the back as the front shop is baultic (Freezing) cause the damn storage heater in the main shop has given up, the electrician is supposed to be fixing it, but they've not appeared yet, so I can't leave for lunch in case they show up while I'm out. So I'm typing this up on my laptop, saving it on to my usb pen and then taking it to the computer and copying it from the document on to the document on Fanfiction. net so that I'm not cold sitting in there all day, cause some of the cold air is in here now and I've got the fire on and I'm sitting right next to the heater, but I'm still cold. I've gotten the notion that my grandfathers are both here letting me know that they're still around in one way as it's only cold right beside me and nowhere else in the back shop. I've also come to the conclusion that this shop is haunted, cause things move around. Lindsay, my mum's friend who runs the shop with her says that when that happens when she's in the shop, we can just blame her mother, cause she's dead and she does it where ever Lindsay is and to Lindsay's ex husband in her old home. So I'm just assuming that it's them, cause every year since my Grandad died, I've felt the odd bit of cold air, just in one place and not anywhere else and I can't explain it... I'm gonna stop there before I scare myself with that thought and I'll just begin after I change the music that's on...hold on...That's better, I needed some Christmas music. I'm carrying on as normal after my Grandpa's death, cause that's what he would want and we haven't cancelled Christmas, one reason being my youngest sister is 10, we all love Christmas and the third, it's my birthday as well and D no 4 my Grandpa wouldn't want us to even though my Dad wants to, which is understandable cause Grandpa was his dad. He had bronchial neumonia and they couldn't remove the fluid, he also had some diease that blocked his airways which was diagnosed as Asthma, and the third thing was that his heart wasn't working properly, one side had stopped completely, so there was nothing that could be done... I'm glad he's gone, 'cause he's not suffering anymore...Anyway, I'd better stop otherwise I'll depress you all. Here we go finally.
Part four.
The Doctor and Rose were crouched in the garden of the Tyler's mansion as a car went past "They've got visitors." the Doctor said
"February the 1st." Rose said "Mum's birthday. Even in a parallel universe, she still loves a party."
"Well, given Pete Tyler's guest list, I wouldn't mind a look. And there is one guaranteed way of getting inside..." he said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a wallet
"Psychic paper." Rose said.
"Who do you want to be?" he asked
--
Rose and the Doctor exited the kitchen carrying platers. "We could've been anyone." She said
"It got us in, didn't it?"
"You're in charge of the psychic paper." she said "We could've been guests. Celebrities. Sir Doctor, Dame Rose. And we end up serving. I did enough of this back home."
"If you want to know what's going on, work in the kitchen." the Doctor told her. They walked around a bit "According to Lucy, that man over there..."
"Who's Lucy?"
"She's carrying the salmon pinwheels." he said
"Oh, that's Lucy, is it?" she asked
"Yeah." he said "Lucy says that is the President of Great Britain."
"What, there's a president, not a prime minister?"
"Seems so."
"Or maybe Lucy's just a bit thick."
They heard Pete Tyler's voice, so they went out into the hall and watched his speech "I'd just like to say thank you to you all for coming on this very special occasion. My wife's...39th." everyone laughed "Trust me on this. And so without any further ado, here she is, the birthday girl, my lovely wife, Jackie Tyler." Jackie came down the stairs
"Now, I'm not giving a speech, that's what my parties are famous for, no work, no politics. Just a few good mates and plenty of black market whisky." everyone laughed again "Pardon me, Mr , yeah, get on with it. Enjoy! Enjoy." She and Pete walked down the rest of the stairs
"We can't stay." the Doctor told Rose "Even if there was some way of telling them."
"Course we can't." she said "I've still got Mum at home, my real mum. I couldn't just leave her, could I? It's just...They've got each other. Mum's got no one."
"She's got you." the Doctor said "Those two haven't. All these different worlds, not one of them gets it right."
"Rose!" Jackie said and a dog barked "Here's my little girl! Come to mummy, come to mummy, yes." the small dog went to Jackie who picked her up
Rose looked at the Doctor, who was trying to keep a straight face, but failed seeing the look on her face. She gave him a look, one which he knew signalled trouble after all he had seen Jackie give him that look, he stopped laughing
"Sorry."
--
The Doctor left the party, now carrying an empty tray. He walked past a room where the door was partially opened, he looked inside and saw a laptop on which there was an opened programme that contained the logo for Cybus Industries. He entered the room and closed the door behind him. He looked at the screen and grinned when he realised that this could give him the information that he was looking for.
--
The Doctor got into the programme and discovered what this Mr Lumic was up to. "Cybus." he said and he ran out of the room.
Bith he and Rose returned to the party at the same time and they headed to the window. "It's happening again." the Doctor said
"What do you mean?"
"I've seen them before." he answered
"What are they?"
"Cybermen." the Doctor said
Suddenly the windows were broken and the Cybermen came through, the party goers began screaming and huddled together. One came behind the Doctor and Rose. The Doctor grabbed Rose around the waist just as he'd done when the werewolf had attacked and took her to safety.
"Mr Lumic." said the President.
"Mr President. I suppose a remark about crashing the party would be appropriate at this point, sir."
"I forbade this."
"These are my children, sir. Would you deny my family?"
"What are they?" Rose asked her husband "Robots?"
"Worse than that." the Doctor answered.
"Who were these people?" the President asked
"It doesn't matter."
"They're people?" Rose asked
"They were." the Doctor answered "Till they had all their humanity take away. That's a living brain jammed inside a cybernetic body. With a heart of steel, all emotions removed."
"Why no emotions?" Rose asked
"Because it hurts."
"I demand to know, Lumic, these people, who were they?" the President asked
"They were homeless and wretched and useless, until I saved them, and elevated them,and gave them life eternal. And now I leave you in their capable hands. Good night, sir. Good night, Mr President."
"We have been upgraded." said one of the Cybermen.
"Into what?" asked the Doctor
"The next level of mankind." it said "We are Hhuman Point Two. Every citizen receive a free upgrade. You will become like us."
"I'm sorry." said the President "I'm so sorry for what's been done to you. But listen to me. This experiment ends tonight."
"Upgradiing is coompulsory."
"And if I refuse?" asked the President
"Don't." said the Doctor
"What if I refuse?"
"I'm telling you, don't!"
"What happens if I refuse?"
"Then you are not compatible."
"What happens then?"
"You will be deleted." The Cyberman then proceeded to do just that. Which of course caused utter Doctor got Rose out "There's nothing we can do." he told her
"But my mum's in there."
"She's not your mother, come on!"
They ran, but didn't get very far as they ran into more Cybermen, they changed direction just as Pete Tyler came out of the house "Pete! Pete!" Rose shouted. Pete turned and looked, Rose gestured to him to follow and the three of them ran, followed by the cybermen.
--
"Pete, is there a way out?" the Doctor asked the parallel version of his deceased father in law
"The side gates." Pete answerd "Who are you? How do you know so much?"
"You wouldn't believe it in a million years." the Doctor answered as they ran into more Cybers and changed direction yet again. They saw two figures coming towards them "Who's that?" Rose asked
"Get behind me!"
Rose, the Doctor and Pete got behind the two men as they began to shoot at the stopped shooting when the Cybermen stopped. Rose hugged who she thought was Mickey. He pulled away, the Doctor and Rose thought that he was still mad at them for earlier that day until he said "Yeah, no offence sweetheart, but who the hell are you?"
"Rose!" shouted Mickey. "That's not me." he said when he reached them "That's, like, the other one."
"Oh, as if things weren't bad enough, there's two Mickey's!" said the Doctor
"It's Ricky."
"But there's more of them." said Mickey
The Cybermen surrounded them "We're surrounded." said Rose
"Put the guns down." said the Doctor "Bullets won't stop them." the othe man began shooting again "You! Stop shooting! Now!" he pushed the gun down "Wesurrender." the Doctor told the Cybermen "Hands up. There's no need to damage us. We're good stock. We volunteer for the upgrade programme. Take us to be processed."
"You are rogue elements."
"But we surrender."
"You are incompatible."
"But this is a surrender!"
"You will be deleted."
"but we're surrendering!" said the Doctor "Listen to me! We surrender!"
"You are will be reborn as Cyberman but you will perish under maximum deletion. Delete. Delete. Delete. Delete....."
Well, that's yet another episode completed, the next will be up soon... I hope, I've got a couple of things to do in this shop before I put it up though, 'cause my mum and I have a fete on Saturday that we're selling stuff from the shop at...as well as one of my drawings. Anyway enough rambling I'll post this and get on with it.
