Sanjay Maria and the boy were now running across the car park.
"Come on we need to get out of here" Sanjay told them.
"Wait, my dads still in there," Maria said.
"He'll have been evacuated with the others, look the bus has gone" Sanjay told her.
"But we were on a private tour" Maria explained.
Sanjay then saw the gates closing.
"Dam it they've sealed the gates" Sanjay said.
"Secure the perimeter" Mrs wormwoods voice yelled.
The 3 kids turned to see Mrs Wormwood and the muffin with two guards.
"Retrieve the archetype," the muffin ordered when he saw them.
"We're trapped" Maria yelled as more guards appeared.
"Sanjay get down"
The 3 kids turned to see mark; Sanjay then grabbed Maria and the archetype and pulled them to the ground, as mark pulled out two laser blasters from his jacket.
Mark then opened fire hitting the roof above Mrs wormwood and the muffin; they both dived out of the way, as the roof came crashing down.
"Let get out of here" mark said ran over to Sanjay and the others.
"They've sealed the gates," Maria quickly explained.
But before mark could answer, a car came crashing through the gates.
"James" mark shouted as the car came to a halt.
"Get in" James told them as he opened the door.
Mark and the others wasted no time, and as soon as they were in the car, it shot back through the remains of the gates.
"They've taken the archetype" Mrs wormwood barked as she got back on her feet.
She turned to the muffin.
"Now we can have even more fun, oh even more," she told the muffin.
The muffin and Mrs Wormwood returned to her office, where Alan and Kelsey were waiting.
"Now let's find out what you know" Mrs Wormwood said as she walked towards them.
"I don't understand, where's my daughter Maria" Alan demanded.
Mrs Wormwood turned to him.
"Your daughter just helped someone very important to us escape" Mrs Wormwood told him.
"What are you talking about" Alan asked.
"Bet there part of a cult or something, properly belong on Jeremy Kyle" Kelsey said with her hands on her hips.
"I don't understand a word she's saying, she's all noise and ignorance" Mrs Wormwood replied.
Mrs Wormwood slowly walked towards Alan.
"But you, you will the information I require" Mrs Wormwood continued.
"This is kidnapping, if you don't let us go right now I'm calling the police, and child line," Kelsey added.
Mrs Wormwood turned back to her.
"I'm going to switch off my image translator, try not to scream" Mrs Wormwood told her.
"I never scream" Kelsey replied.
But Kelsey let out an ear-piercing scream, as she and Alan watched in horror as Mrs Wormwood changed into her Bane form.
Meanwhile mark and the others had returned to 13-bannerman road.
"Who is he" mark asked as she got out of the car.
"What was he doing in that factory, what we're they doing in there?" She continued.
"Just leave it Maria" Sanjay said.
"It's a bit late for that now" She answered.
"Look we can handle things from now on ok" Sanjay replied as he walked towards the house.
"But there's something going on, I saw that thing last night, that alien, you know I did you were there" Maria added.
Sanjay turned to her.
"Maria listen to me our life is dangerous, and rule one, we don't anyone else in danger, especially not a kid," Sanjay continued.
"I'm not a kid, I'm only a year younger than you are" Maria answered.
"Maria just go back home, you watch telly you do whatever it is you do, you just live your life as normal, you forget any of this happened, you got that" Sanjay told her.
Maria remained silent; Sanjay placed her hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, but you need to stay away from us for your own sake" he added.
Maria then knocked his hand away, and turned and ran back to her house and slammed the door.
"Think I was too hard on her" Sanjay asked mark as he walked up to him.
"Like you said it's for her own sake" Mark answered.
They both headed to the door of 13-bannerman road.
"Before we go in there's something you need to know" James told them.
Back at the bubble shock factory, Mrs Wormwood was sat at her desk.
"Oh it felt so good to be myself, these clumsy human ox," she said.
The muffin was now checking Alan and Kelsey who were lying on the floor.
"They're unconscious, I'm surprised you didn't kill them" the muffin replied.
"The miniature versions have parents, parents ask questions, as for the man he has something called an ex wife who always asked too many questions" Mrs Wormwood explained.
"Well what did we learn?" the muffin asked as he sat across from Mrs Wormwood.
"The thoughts of a child are chaos," she answered.
Mrs Wormwood closed her eyes, and placed her hands on her temples.
"Late homework, is she fat, will she ever be kissed, and she worships something called the holy oak," she continued.
Her eyes then shot open as her mind cleared.
"No hollyoaks, and her parents fight, she wishes she was younger, she wishes she was older, this world scares her so very much" she said.
"And the man" the muffin asked.
"His mind is clearer, bills, new job, he fears how to bring up a daughter, all alone in a new home" She answered.
Her eye's shot open once again.
"He met one of his new neighbours, someone calling herself wormwood," She added.
"What, that's not possible" the muffin answered.
"This wormwood was the one who brought them to the factory" She replied.
"Then she must be an impostor, maybe someone from the other houses," the muffin said.
"Then you must find her and find out" Mrs Wormwood told him.
She then closed her eyes again.
"Bannerman road number 13, she appears to live alone, no support no defences," Mrs Wormwood said.
"Then I can attack" the muffin asked with a grin.
"Oh yes, go and have some fun" Mrs Wormwood told him as they both stood up.
"What about these two" he asked her as he walked towards Alan and Kelsey.
"I've filleted the memories they will remember nothing," Mrs Wormwood explained as she clicked her fingers.
Kelsey and Alan then opened their eyes.
"Oh right, hi ya" Kelsey said as she looked around.
"What happened" Alan asked as he came round.
"There was an accident you both got knocked out" Mrs Wormwood told them.
"Oh I'm so shamed," Kelsey continued.
"Wait, where's Maria" Alan almost shouted.
"She's fine, Maria got split up from you and her friend, but Davey here found her and took her to the bubble shock bus" Mrs Wormwood answered.
Alan turned to Davey.
"Thank you" Alan said.
Davey simply nodded in surprise.
"She then came to my house and told me what had happened, so I came here to find out what had happened to you" Mrs Wormwood added.
"So she's back home" Alan asked.
"Safe and sound, Davey will run you both home; I've got a few errands to run I'm afraid" Mrs Wormwood said.
"This day just gets better and better" Kelsey said as she began to grin ear to ear.
Mrs Wormwood then turned to Davey.
"Bannerman Road, just across from my house" she told him with a smile.
"As you wish" Davey replied as he returned the smile
Mark Harkins walked into the kitchen of 13-bannerman road, where Sarah Jane was waiting for him.
"Oh my god, James was right it really is you," he said.
"Hello Mark" Sarah Jane greeted.
"But how can you be here" he asked.
"It's a long story," Sarah Jane answered.
Sarah Jane then explained what was going on, and what the bane planed to do, mark then sat down on a chair.
"This is a lot to take it," he continued.
"Time travel always is" Sarah Jane answered as she sat down next to him.
"So you came back though time to stop this wormwood changing things," he replied.
"Where already too late I should be here, in our time line I was able to stop the bane with the help of a girl called Maria and a young boy that I later brought up as a son" she explained.
Mark suddenly turned to her.
"You mean that boy we rescued..." Mark started.
Sarah Jane nodded.
"That's luke my son," she added.
The young Luke was now sat in the living room, with his hands resting on his knees, in the hall his older self stood, watching him through a crack in the door.
"I can't believe that's you" Rani said as she joined him.
"Yeah that's who mum found me, you can't tell but I was so scared, scared of all these new things to learn, a whole new world to find out about" Luke explained.
"But you had Maria Sarah Jane and Clyde as cause" Rani told him.
Luke turned to her and smiled.
"And you don't forget" Luke said.
Rani returned the smile.
Across the road, Maria Jackson was curled up on her bed, her eye's were sore with hot tears, and she was hugging her favourite teddy bear,
but then she heard a car door slam, Maria quickly ran to the window to she her dad walking towards the house.
"Dad" Maria almost screamed.
She ran downstairs as fast as she could, just as Alan walked through the door, Maria threw her arms around him and pulled him into a hug.
"Oh dad I was so worried" Maria sobbed.
"Hey it's ok, sorry I scared you" Alan told her.
"I thought I'd lost you" Maria continued.
Alan looked into Maria's eyes.
"Never happen" he said as he gave Maria a kiss on the forehead.
Outside Kelsey was still sat in the car with the muffin.
"Hey I've not got to be home till 6, we could go for a burger," Kelsey said with a grin.
"Go" the muffin simply said.
Kelsey looked a little disappointed as she took off her seat belt.
"Don't forget drink bubble shock," he told her as he tossed a bottle into Kelsey's hands.
Kelsey then got out of the car and left, the muffin then turned to 13-bannerman road.
"Time to have some fun" he said with an evil grin.
