Anna led the brigadier the professor and Steven to a large room were the statue of the Egyptian god stood in the centre of the room.
"You've moved it I see," The brigadier said.
"Just making sure the professor gets no interruptions brigadier," Anna replied.
"You thought of everything haven't you colonel," The brigadier continued.
"You of all people should know I always do," Anna answered.
"Well then, I guess I better get to work" The professor replied as he walked up to the statue and looked at the inscription.
"Do to recognise the language at all" Anna asked.
The professor shook his head.
"Like I said at the dig site it appears to be more than one language, it's unlike anything I've ever seen before," The professor told her.
"Your attempted deceit is amusing" a voice said.
The professor turned to see a shadowy figure of a man stood on a balcony above him.
"But we both know you understand the language this inscription is written in professor, or should I call you Doctor" The man added.
"So you recognise me then" The Doctor said
"Of cause, I know all your facers, I believe this is your seventh" the man answered.
The doctor began to smile.
"I take it there's more of me now" The seventh doctor continued.
"Eleven to be presence" the man replied.
"Really" The doctor answered.
"Now tell me what is a time lord doing pretending to be a university professor?" The man asked.
"Sometimes even I need a brake from travelling through time and space, now you tell me what you want with the statue of an Osiran" The doctor demanded.
Now the man began to smile.
"You already know time lord," The man simply said.
The doctor then realised what the man was talking about.
"No you can't, I won't allow it," The doctor told him.
"Oh but you will doctor, otherwise your young friend will suffer in ways you can't possibly imagine" The man warned.
"You leave me no choice," The doctor added.
"Colonel if you would be so kind to show the doctor's young friend to the holding cells" The man told her.
Anna nodded to her soldiers who grabbed Steven.
"Wait" the doctor almost, yelled.
"Relax doctor he will remain unharmed as long as you obey me" the man told him.
"And what do you plan to do with me" The brigadier demanded.
"Oh we have big plans for you brigadier" The man added.
Anna then pressed something to the back of his neck and the brigadier would have fell to the ground if two of Anna's men hadn't grabbed him.
"No brigadier" Steven yelled as he was dragged out of the room.
"What did she do to him?" Sarah Jane asked snapping Steven from his thoughts.
"I don't know but it made him pass out" Steven explained.
"That explains the hole on the back of his neck" James replied.
"We need to scan the brigadier at once" Sarah Jane answered.
She the turned to leave but James grabbed her arm.
"Wait there's more you need to hear" James told her.
James then turned to Steven.
"Tell Sarah Jane about the night you and grandfather escaped Steven" James continued.
"I can still hear the screaming" Steven answered.
Steven was sat alone in a cold dark cell when he heard the door being unlocked.
"Steven" The brigadier voice said as he came into the room.
"Brigadier your ok" Steven replied as he jumped to his feet.
"You need to come with me Steven," The brigadier answered as two of Anna's men appeared in the doorway.
"What's going on brigadier?" Steven asked sounding confused.
"Your professor's translated the inscription," One of the men told him.
"And our mistress requires your presents" the other man added.
"Why does she need me?" Steven demanded.
The brigadier lowered his head.
"I'm sorry Steven," The brigadier said as the men grabbed the boy.
"What are they going to do to me?" Steven asked fear in his voice.
The brigadier remained silent and couldn't look the teenager in the eye.
"Brigadier what are they going to do to me" Steven repeated sounding really scared.
Steven was then led into the room with the statue in the centre where 12 hooded men stood in a circle around the statue chatting strange words as Anna, the seventh doctor and the other men looked on.
"Ah Brigadier so good of you and Steven to join us" Anna said as the teenager was made to kneel.
"You said you wouldn't hurt him," The doctor snapped as he struggled to brake free from the two men who were holding him.
"Oh your friend will remain unharmed doctor, my masters new host must be undamaged," The man explained.
"No please he's just a boy," The doctor pleaded.
"Yes he is, and that makes him a perfect host" The man continued.
The man then turned to Anna.
"Begin at once" The man, told her.
Anna nodded and opened a large book as the hooded men fell silent.
"Oh great and powerful one hear me, your servants have returned to set you free" Anna began.
"Might one use our energy, to brake your chains and return from the darkness?" The hooded men said in unison.
Anna then slowly walked up Steven.
"Dark Lord expect this offering from your loyal servant," She continued.
Anna then pulled out a silver knife, and Steven gasped in horror.
"Please don't hurt me," the boy pleaded.
"Relax I only need a drop of blood" Anna whispers in his ear.
Anna then cut Stevens palm with the blade.
"I offer this boys blood as a token of our loyally" she said as she walked to the statue.
"Anna you don't know what your doing" The doctor almost yelled.
But Anna ignored him and placed the knife into the mouth of the Jackal.
"Dark Lord except this offering, and its bond" The hooded figures added.
"Please don't do this" The doctor pleaded as Anna then walked back to Steven.
"This boys blood as his life are now forever yours" Anna said.
"You're making a big mistake," The doctor warned.
But Anna once again ignored him and placed her hands on Stevens shoulder, Suddenly the whole room started to shake.
"Take this boy as your vessel, his strength shall become your strength his will shall become your will, and you shall this world once more" Anna continued.
Just the statue split open and a dark fog spilled from the Statue and began to swirl around the 12 hooded men.
"With the power of 12 I release you from your bonds, with the power of 12 I offer you this boy as your host " Anna added.
But then the hooded men began to scream and yell.
"What's happening?" Anna said as she looked around.
"12 lives have to be taken so one can be reborn," The man told her as Anna watched in horror as the men dissolved into dust.
"You've betrayed us," Anna snapped.
"No my dear you betrayed your self, you and your men have been most useful but your assistance is no longer required" the man continued as he turned to the black fog.
"Oh great and powerful Anubus, your servant has returned and set you free, now take this boy and walk the earth once again," The man said.
"No" Steven almost screamed as the black fog rushed towards him.
"STOP" The doctor shouted as he slammed Anna's blade into the book, which now lay on the ground.
The man screamed in pain as he held his head.
"What have you done time lord" The man yelled.
"What I had to do" The doctor replied.
The doctor then turned to the Brigadier and Steven.
"Brigadier get Steven out of hear now," The doctor told him.
"What about you" Steven asked.
"I have to face him and stop him once and for all" The doctor added.
The black fog then rushed towards the doctor.
"Then what happened," Sarah Jane's voice once again snapped Steven from his thoughts.
"I don't know everything just went black" Steven explained.
"Well how did you and the brigadier escape" Sarah Jane asked.
"But I didn't escape I'm still there" Steven told her.
Sarah Jane turned to James but he was no longer there.
"Sarah Jane" A voice hissed
Sarah Jane felt a chill run down her spine, and slowly turned to see a hooded figure.
"No I'm still asleep," She simply said.
"You thought you escaped me my sweet Sarah, but now you're all alone in the dark," Anubus told her.
"But she's not alone" a voice replied.
Sarah Jane turned to see Steven.
"Steven, wait what I saw really happened didn't it, there's someone else here" Sarah Jane added.
"Time lord" Anubus hissed.
"The doctor's sending Steven's thoughts into my mind telling what happened telling me how to stop you" Sarah Jane continued.
"You too late Sarah Jane, not even one can stop me now" Anubus snapped.
"The statue it's where we trapped you, and we can trap you again" Sarah Jane added.
"Enough" Anubus yelled as he lunged at Sarah Jane his hood falling to revile a jackals head who's razor sharp teeth went for Sarah Jane's throat.
Sarah Jane then woke up with a start and found herself in the lounge of 13-bannerman road lying on her sofa.
"I'm awake," She said to herself.
Sarah Jane then heard the phone ring
"I'll get it" She heard Luke's voice tell her.
Sarah Jane quickly headed into the hall as Luke answered the phone.
"Hello… James? Do you know what time it...What, Were on our way" Luke said.
Luke then turned to him mum.
"What is it" Sarah Jane asked.
"It's the brigadier he's been rushed into hospital," Luke quickly explained.
Sarah Jane then grabbed the phone from Luke.
"James listen to me this is going to sound mad but you need to get everyone out of there now, Something's been done to the brigadier… James…..James" she said.
But the phone had gone dead.
"Didn't I say it was too late Sarah Jane?" A voice said behind her.
Sarah Jane turned to see Philip walking down the stairs.
"Jonesy?" Sarah Jane said.
"I'm afraid not, didn't I tell you his time was almost up" Philip said.
"Anubus" Sarah Jane replied.
