The lock to room 101 exploded and Sarah Jane and the others quickly came out the room and into the corridor.
"We better get moving, sure someone will have heard that," The brigadier continued.
Everyone headed down the corridor, but then a man came out of the storeroom.
"That's far enough," the man told them.
"Stand aside" The brigadier demanded.
"I'm afraid I can't do that" The man replied.
Just then 3 more men appeared behind them.
"You see it's feeding time," The man added.
Sarah Jane and the others watched, as the men all transformed into bane.
"Oh great more bane" Clyde said.
The bane surrounded Sarah Jane and the others.
"Now who's first" The bane leader mocked.
The brigadier pointed the end of his walking stick at the bane leader.
"I'm warning you, Stand aside," The brigadier told him.
"We have a volunteer," The bane leader said as he moved forward.
"Bane kinderuth" A voice shouted.
Sarah Jane and the others couldn't believe there eye's, when they turned towards the voice, stood in the darkness of the corridor was Mrs Wormwood.
"I'm afraid humans are off the menu" She told the bane as he pressed her sonic disruptor ring.
"Quick in here" Clyde yelled.
They all headed into the storeroom; as the bane exploded in a shower of green slime, Sarah Jane and the others then reappeared form the storeroom.
"Well at least we didn't get gunked this time" Clyde said.
Sarah Jane turned to Mrs Wormwood
"Out of all the people to rescue us, I never thought it would be you" Sarah Jane said.
"It's nice to see you, and your friends again too miss smith" Mrs wormwood replied.
"So you do remember us," Rani replied.
"Oh cause, like you I also still have my memories of the other time line," Mrs Wormwood explained.
"Where's luke and Maria Wormwood" Sarah Jane demanded.
"Luke is now living the life he deserves, a normal life without aliens and monsters" Mrs wormwood answered.
"Shame his mother is the biggest monster of them all" Clyde added.
"And we're going to stop you using Luke to take over the earth" Rani told her.
"I would never do that to him" Mrs wormwood snapped.
Mrs wormwood slowly walked towards them.
"When the bane mother was destroyed, I managed to rescue Luke before the bubble shock factory exploded, after that we went into hiding" Mrs wormwood told them.
"Because the other bane blamed you for the death of the bane mother" Sarah Jane said
Mrs Wormwood nodded.
"They believed me to be a traitor, but with mother gone the other bane houses began to fight over who would replace her" Mrs wormwood continued.
"So you agreed to help one of these houses to save your neck" Clyde replied.
"They found us 2 months ago, but once they realised I still had Luke, they decided to spare my life if I helped them take over the earth," Mrs wormwood told them.
"Let me guess whoever controls the earth controls the bane" Rani answered.
"It was agreed that, which ever house completed the task the bane mother failed, there mother would succeed her and become the new ruler of the bane kinderuth" Mrs wormwood explained.
"But your not going to let them have Luke" Sarah Jane asked.
Mrs Wormwood shook her head.
"All I want is to keep him safe, and that's why I need your help Sarah Jane Smith" Mrs wormwood added.
Just then the corridor was filled with laughter.
"No please not again" Sanjay said to himself.
"Such sweet fear" a voice whispered behind Mrs Wormwood.
She turned to see a man in a circus ringmaster's outfit walking towards her.
"Spellman" Sarah Jane said as he got closer.
The ringmaster then stopped and turned to Mrs wormwood.
"Interesting, you appear to be not of this world, yet you fear for this boy," Spellman continued.
"He's all I have left" Mrs wormwood answered.
"But your not the only one who fears for him" Spellman replied.
He then turned to Sarah Jane.
"You do too Sarah Jane Smith" he added.
"You stay away from him," Sarah Jane told him.
"The fear of a mother for her young, the strongest fear of all" Spellman replied.
"A fear you underestimate" Mrs Wormwood yelled as she pressed the centre of her sonic disrupter ring.
The sonic pulse hit Spellman, and he began to change shape over and over.
"The pulse must be interfering with his power" Sanjay said.
"Rani your pocket" Clyde told her.
The teenager looked down and could see the meteor fragment was glowing.
"It's making him weaker, Sarah Jane" Rani shouted as she threw the fragment to her
Sarah Jane caught it and turned to Spellman.
"You picked on the wrong mother Spellman" Mrs wormwood continued.
"And now your going back where you belong" Sarah Jane told him.
Spellman then turned into odd bob and turned to Sarah Jane.
"You can not defeat my power, no one can fight fear" odd bob said.
"I'm not afraid of you" Sarah Jane yelled.
"But you are scared of me sarah Jane smith out of all the things you have seen, of all the things in the dark, it's me who lives in your nightmares, the painted face of a clown" Odd bob hissed.
Odd bod then turned to Mrs Wormwood; only he was now in the form of Luke.
"Why weren't you there to protect me from the bullies mum, why did you let them hurt me" the boy asked with tears running down his face.
"Luke I…" Mrs Wormwood began
"It's a trick, that not Luke" Clyde shouted.
"You didn't save me from the bullies mum, and you won't save me from the clown mum, he's going to take me away," Luke continued.
"Don't listen to him," Rani warned.
But it was too late luke turned back into Spellman, who forced mrs wormwoods sonic pulse back at her and Sarah Jane,
The shock wave smashed all the windows in the corridor, and sent Sarah Jane and Mrs Wormwood to the ground.
"You see no one can defeat fear, it's a part of you and tonight just for you, I will chill the blood of a nation, a 1000 families will ache with loss, millions will shudder, sleepless, the bone gnawing fear" Spellman told them.
He then transformed into odd bob, and knelt down next to Sarah Jane.
"And the boy will be the first to join the others" Odd bob whispered.
"No" Sarah Jane screamed as the clown vanished.
"We have to stop him," Mrs Wormwood said as she offered Sarah Jane her hand.
"Then lets get to luke before he does" Sarah Jane replied as she took Mrs Wormwoods who in turn helped Sarah Jane up.
"But how can we get there in time" Clyde asked.
"Yeah, bannerman roads at least a hours drive away" Rani added.
Mrs wormwood turned to them.
"Don't worry, I can teleport us to the house" Mrs Wormwood answered.
"Then that's our next stop" Sarah Jane replied.
"I'll get the unit chaps down here, get them clean up what's left of these bane," the brigadier said as Sarah Jane went over to him.
"Thank you brigadier, for everything" She told him.
"No, thank you miss smith, nice to see a bit of action once again," He answered.
Sarah Jane then gave him a hug; Clyde Rani and Sanjay also said their goodbyes and with Sarah Jane held onto Mrs wormwoods arm,
A bright light filled the front room of 13-bannerman road, As Sarah Jane and the others teleported into the room, Clyde fell to his knees felling a little bit sick.
"Man I hate transmats," He said.
"Luke" Sarah Jane called.
Mrs Wormwood flicked opens her scanner.
"He's not here, mustn't have got back from the fair yet" Mrs Wormwood explained.
"We need to find him" Sarah Jane replied.
Luke and Ryan were now on their way home after leaving the police station.
"I thought the cops were never going to let us leave" Ryan said.
But Luke didn't reply he was still thinking about the balloon he had seen.
"I guess there getting desperate Luke" Ryan continued.
But Luke remained silent.
"Luke?" Ryan repeated.
"Yeah" Luke answered.
Ryan then realised something was bothering his new friend.
"Hey you ok" He asked.
Luke sat down on a wall with his head in his hands.
"I saw something, when we found Sarah's phone" Luke explained.
"What?" Ryan asked as he sat next to him.
"This is going to sound crazy, but I saw a red balloon, weird thing was it looked like it was being held by someone" Luke answered.
He then turned to Ryan.
"Someone invisible, and then there was that laugh" Luke added.
"Your right that does sound crazy, but if that's what you saw" Ryan told him.
"You believe me?" Luke said sounding surprised.
"Sure, wouldn't be the first time something's odds happened here" Ryan replied.
They then both heard laughter.
"You hear that" Luke asked.
Ryan simply nodded.
"That's the laugh I heard when I saw the balloon" Luke replied.
Ryan then saw something.
"Luke" he said.
Luke turned to see a clown holding a balloon.
"Hello luke" the clown greeted.
"How do you know my name" Luke asked.
"Oh I know everyone I take" the clown continued.
"You're the one who took Sarah aren't you" Ryan replied.
"And your both going to join her" the clown shrieked with laughter.
"Run" Luke yelled.
Luke and Ryan ran down a street, only to find odd bob standing at the end of it.
"What the" Ryan said.
Luke grabbed his arm.
"Quick down here" Luke told him.
Luke led Ryan down a passageway, which led to a row of garages, but once again the clown was waiting for them.
"Run all you want, you can't get away from me," the clown hissed.
Luke and Ryan ran back down the passage, but odd bob was already at the end of it.
"There's no escape, you belong to me now" the clown added.
To be continued.
