Ok, here's the first part of The Satan Pit, you know I can't quite believe that I've reached this bit yet, but hey, I'm here, so I'm gonna have to, anyway, here we go.

The Satan Pit.

Previously…

"The Pit is open and I am free."

And now…

Rose was still standing behind Jefferson as the Ood advanced on them. Jefferson waited for a few seconds then he shouted "Open fire!" and he and one of his people opened fire on the Ood, killing them

"We're stabilising." said Zach over the comms system "We've got orbit."

When all the Ood were down, Rose went back and grabbed the walkie-talkie to try to get back in contact with her husband and Ida. "Doctor? Doctor, can you hear me?" she said "Doctor, Ida are you there." She became worried when she received no answer.

Suddenly the door started to open, both Jefferson and the security officer held up their guns. When the door opened to admit Danny, they both breathed a sigh of relief and lowered their weapons when he spoke "It's me!" he said "But they're coming. It's the Ood. They've gone mad."

"How many of them?" Jefferson asked

"All of them, all 50."

"Danny, out of the way." Jefferson said, moving towards the younger man "Out of the way!" He moved Danny himself when he didn't move

"But they're armed." he said "It's the interface device." Jefferson began to open the door "I don't know how, but they're using it as a weapon."

Jefferson opened the door and they saw that there were several Ood standing behind it, they killed the female member of Jefferson's security team. Jefferson opened fire.

--

Once Jefferson had stopped shooting, Danny closed the door, he then pressed the button "Seal door 25. Seal door 24. Seal door 23!"

"Jefferson, what's happening there?" Zach asked over the comms.

"I've got very little ammunition, sir." he answered "How about you?" Beside him, Rose was still trying to get through to the Doctor and Ida

"All I've got is a bolt-gun with, uh, all of one bolt." Zach answered after a few minutes "I could take out a grand total of one Ood. Fat lot of good that is."

"Given the emergency, I recommend strategy nine." Jefferson said

"Strategy nine agreed." Zach said "Right, we need to get everyone together. Rose, what about Ida and the Doctor?" he asked "Any word?"

"I can't get a reply." she answered "Just nothing. I keep trying, but it's…" she was interrupted by the Doctor

"No, sorry." he said "I'm fine. Still here!"

"You could have said, you stupid…"

--

The Doctor missed the rest of her reply, he knew that the Tardis had somehow interfered in the communication, cause there was nothing wrong with the system, but all he got was radio feedback.

"Whoa, careful!" he said. "Anyway, it's both of us, me and Ida. Hello! But the seal opened up. It's gone. All we've got left is this chasm."

"How deep is it?" Zach asked

"Can't tell." the Doctor answered "Looks like it goes down forever."

"The Pit is open." Rose said "That's what the voice said."

"But there's nothing." Zach said "I mean, there's nothing coming out?"

"No, no, no." said the Doctor "No sign of the Beast."

"It said Satan." Rose said

"Come on, Rose, love." he said "Keep it together." He wanted to be up there more than anything, but he couldn't be as he had to see this through as far as he could

"Is there no such thing?" she asked "Doctor? Doctor, tell me there's no such thing."

"Ida, I recommend that you withdraw immediately." Zach said

"But we've come all this way." She argued.

"Okay, that was an order." he said "Withdraw! When that thing opened, the whole planet shifted. One more inch and we fall into the black hole so this thing stops right now."

"But it's not much better up there with the Ood." she said

"I'm initiating strategy nine." he told her "so I need the two of you back up top immediately. No…" She cut him off.

"What do you think?" she asked the Doctor

"He gave an order." he said

"Yeah, but what do you think?"

"It said, 'I am the temptation.'" he quoted.

"If there's something in there, why is it still hiding?"

"Maybe we opened the prison but not the cell."

"We should go down." she said "I'd go. What about you?"

"Oh, in a second." he answered "But then again…That is so human." he grinned "Where angels fear to tread. Even now, standing on the edge, it's that feeling you get, yeah? Right at the back of your head. That impulse, that strange little impulse. That mad little voice saying 'Go on, go on, go on. Go over, go on.' Maybe it's relying on that. For once in my life, Officer Scott, I'm going to say….Retreat" he stepped away from the chasm. "Now I know I'm getting old." he said "Rose, we're coming back."

--

Above ground, Rose smiled when she heard him say that. "Best news I've heard all day."

I know that that's a funny place to stop this, but I wanted to stop it on a high for this one, instead of with what happens next, although, I probably won't get much more done tonight, cause I'm going to bed soon as I'm tired and I've got to go to the shop. Now as for tomorrow, you'll get updates during the day, where possible, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to get some done while I'm at my Granny, but I'm not going to promise, you probably won't get another one now. No, you definitely won't cause I've got to get up early. Anyway, I'm off to at least start the next part, so that you can get it tomorrow
