Chapter 4
The Daleks aimed their weapons at the Russos and Harper. "You will be ex-ter-min-a-ted."
"Oh I'd hold off on that you over sized salt shakers," a condescending voice came from behind the Daleks.
The three Daleks turned to face the source of the voice. It was male standing over six feet tall and a there was a younger female standing by his side. They scanned the two of them. The female registered as human with a unique ability to wield time energy, but the male registered as something else. It registered as Time Lord.
"You re-gis-ter as Time Lord. You are the e-ne-my!" yelled the lead Dalek.
"You're right. I am the enemy," said the Doctor, "Do you want to know which Lord of Time I am?"
None of the Daleks answered the Doctor. He pranced to the lead Dalek and tapped its eyestalk and then he jumped over the Dalek on the right and knocked on its head. "I'll tell you who I am. I am the Doctor. The one, the only and the best."
The Daleks backed up and looked at each other. They all looked back at the Doctor and asked, "How do we know you are the Doc-tor?"
"You don't and that scares you," said the Doctor. He put his hand in his pocket and took out a small capsule. He smiled and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
"What is it?"
"A Dalek bomb," the Doctor pulled the pin and tossed it on the ground. It exploded and two of the Daleks were electrocuted and exploded. The Doctor stood tall and when the blinding light of the explosion came, he took a huge metal statue from one of the table and smashed it against the Dalek that survived. He pounded the Dalek time and time again.
The humans weren't effected and ran behind the Doctor. They saw him start to pummel the Dalek and he turned around and yelled, "Get out of here!"
They all ran out except Alex. The Doctor smashed the Dalek's eyestalk and it broke off. He turned around and yelled to Alex, "Alex, get out of here!"
"I'm not going to leave you!" Alex yelled back.
"You have to," said the Doctor. He smashed the Daleks plunger arm off and then smashed the eggbeater arm and broke it. The Doctor dropped the statue and ran off. He grabbed Alex's hand and they took off down towards an elevator.
A blast of green energy came from the room and grazed the Doctor's right arm and he collapsed to the ground screaming in pain. Alex stopped and knelt down next to the Doctor. "Doctor, what happened?"
"I was grazed by their weaponry," said the Doctor, "My nerve endings have been destroyed in my arm. I need to get to the Zero Room in the TARDIS to heal."
A sling appeared out of nowhere and held the Doctor's arm in place. He looked at Alex and asked, "Did you do that?"
"I don't know," said Alex, "I wanted something to put your arm in and then it appeared."
"How?"
"I don't know!" said Alex.
The Doctor stood up and said, "It doesn't matter. We need to regroup with the family."
The two ran off. After several minutes, they reached the others at the elevator.
"What happened?" asked Harper.
"Long story for another time," said the Doctor.
The doors to the elevator opened up and all them piled in. As the doors were closing another blast of green energy fired in and hit Max directly in the chest. His body glowed green, but his skeleton could be seen and it was black. He screamed in pain and then fell to the ground dead. The Doctor jumped to the doors and saw more Daleks coming towards the elevator. The doors shut and the elevator was moving up. The entire family gasped and Theresa cried as she held Max's lifeless body.
The elevator moved up and jammed a two floor below the top floor where the sanctuary of the TARDIS was. The Doctor stepped out first to see if the coast was clear and there were no Daleks that he could see, but they would come up the elevator shaft now that they knew where it was. He went back to the elevator and said, "We have to go."
Theresa looked at him and said, "My youngest child is dead and all you want me to do is run."
"Theresa, if we are to do anything, we have to get out of the line of fire from those monsters."
"The Doctor's right," said Alex, "We have to keep moving."
"Of course you would take his side," said Theresa.
"What does that supposed to mean?" asked Alex.
"Hey! There are no sides here," Jerry interrupted, "We are running from the same enemies and the only man that can stop them is the Doctor, whether you like it or not!"
"Mom, Dad's right," Justin said, "We can mourn later, but first we have to go somewhere where we can actually set up a proper defense!"
"We can talk about it and wait for those monsters to come or we can go to the TARDIS and find a way to make all this right again," the Doctor said.
"Okay," surrendered Theresa, "Let's go."
The Doctor and the others left the elevator and Max's body. The Daleks blasted through the floor of the elevator and made it to the same floor as the six of them were on. They made their ways down the hallway.
The Doctor and his group felt the explosion and the ceiling cracked and became unstable in the hallway they were in. The Daleks came into view and the Doctor yelled for everyone to duck and the Daleks fired, but missed all the humans and the Doctor, but the following explosion was too much and the ceiling collapsed in and the Doctor jumped and shielded Alex from the debris. Justin went to shield Harper. Theresa fell over and Jerry was hit in the head and knocked unconscious. Soon all of them were buried under the rubble of the collapsed ceiling. Humans, Daleks and Time Lord were all buried under the rubble and debris. The air was filled with dust and dirt and ash. There was nothing moving in the hallway. It was completely dead and still.
