Chapter 5

The rubble started moving and the Doctor popped up out of the destroyed ceiling. He was covered in the fine debris. Alex coughed and looked around for anyone else. The Doctor jumped up to a higher place and saw Jerry half buried and unconscious. He ran to Jerry and unburied him. The Doctor looked to Alex and said, "Your dad's alive, but unconscious. Wake him up and I'm going to see if the others are okay."

Alex coughed again and nodded. She walked over to Jerry and the Doctor walked off to look for the others. He heard someone's voice from beneath the rubble. The Doctor ran to the voice and started digging out the person who the voice belonged to. It was Harper. He grabbed Harper's hand and pulled her out the rubble. He asked, "Harper, are you okay? I mean, are you okay as in no broken bones?"

"I'm fine, but Justin's not," answered Harper.

The Doctor looked at Justin who was half buried. There was blood pooling around him. The Doctor unburied him and checked his pulse. "He's alive, but barely."

"That's good right?"

"Yes, Harper, it is," said the Doctor. He took out his teleport watch and programmed it with his sonic. He attacked it around Justin's wrist and told Harper, "Press the button and you and him will be transported onto the TARDIS into the Zero Room. It will keep him alive and heal him. Speaking of healing, my arms fine. How did this happen?"

"I wanted your arm healed," said Alex from behind him.

"How are you doing that?" asked the Doctor. He shook his head and said, "That's not important right now. Harper do what I said and he will survive and you will safe. Understand."

"Yes, I do," said Harper.

"Good," said the Doctor.

Harper did what the Doctor said and her and Justin were transported to safety.

"Why didn't you do that before?" asked Alex.

"The watch can only do that once. After it teleports inside the TARDIS once, the watch fries and can't be used again. It was a safety feature I installed."

"Oh," said Alex.

The Doctor looked around and saw another blood pool and he ran over to it. He dug into the debris and saw Theresa there. She had been crushed under the rubble. The Doctor looked up and then to Alex and Jerry who was struggling to his feet. The Doctor walked back over to the two surviving Russos and said, "We have to get out of here. Justin and Harper are safe. Theresa on the other hand wasn't so fortunate."

"What?" asked Jerry.

"Oh no, Mom!" exclaimed Alex. Her eyes were welling with tears.

The Doctor walked to the only clear way to go and his hair stood on end. He turned around and saw the rubble shake and the Daleks were moving again. "Oh no," the Doctor breathed, "Let's move!"

The three of them ran down the hallway and made it to the stairwell. It wasn't damaged and they all climbed as fast as they could. They made it to the top floor, but so did the Daleks. The Daleks were in between the three of them and the TARDIS. The monsters didn't see them because they were fighting against a pretty well armed Montana army led by Montana himself. Montana's army finally beat the Daleks that were in the way. Only Montana and three men survived the battle. The Doctor, Alex and Jerry ran out and Montana raised his weapon but put it down when he saw who it was.

"You're alive, Doctor," said Montana, "What about the others?"

"Two are dead, one is in critical condition and the other is safe," said the Doctor, "We are trying to get to the TARDIS. That's the only safe spot in the tower."

"I don't doubt that," said Montana, "Those Daleks tried to break in and couldn't."

"That's good they couldn't get in. That would be even more devastating," the Doctor stated, "How much ammunition do you have left?"

"We won't be able to fend off another attack," said Montana, "Are there Daleks following you?"

"Yes, but I don't know how many or how far they are behind us," said the Doctor.

Montana looked around and said, "We'll buy you some time to get to your ship, Doctor."

"You'll die, Montana," said the Doctor.

"I know," said Montana, "It's not like there is a world out there to live in."

"That's true," said the Doctor. The Doctor turned to Alex and said, "Come with me."

"Where?" asked Alex.

"To the TARDIS," said the Doctor.

Alex nodded and the two of them ran off to the TARDIS. They got to the ship and the Doctor and Alex went inside. The Doctor told her, "Alex, stay here and do not, DO NOT, come out to follow me."

"Don't worry, Doctor, I won't," replied Alex.

"Good," the Doctor said, "I'll be back and your dad will be with me."

The Doctor ran back out and down the hall to where the last survivors were. He got there and he saw that Jerry was holding on of the guns and had a determined look of anger on his face. The Doctor walked over to him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? I am going to fight those demons," said Jerry.

"You won't stand a chance once you run out of ammo," the Doctor told him.

"I know," said Jerry.

"But why?" asked the Doctor.

"Doctor, those things took away my son and my wife. I don't know if my other son will survive and I have a bone to pick with them. You keep Alex and Harper safe. Do you hear me?"

"Jerry, I'm not going to talk you out of this am I?" asked the Doctor.

"No, Doctor, you won't be able to talk me out of this," Jerry replied.

"Jerry, I can stay and help if you want," said the Doctor.

Jerry looked at the Doctor in the eyes and said, "And let you, the only one who stop this, die. I don't think so, Doctor."

"Okay," the Doctor said, "One thing you need to know. Aim for the eyestalk. That's there weak point."

"That's good to know, Doctor," Jerry said.

"And, Jerry, I will find a way to make this right," said the Doctor, "I promise you I will fix this as if it never happened."

"You better, Doctor, and if anyone can, it'll be you," said Jerry.

The Doctor asked him, "Are you sure about this?"

"Yes," Jerry said.

"Then good bye and good luck," the Doctor said and started to walk towards the TARDIS.

Jerry called to him, "And, Doctor, take care of her."

The Doctor nodded and yelled back, "I will!"

Jerry quietly said, "Thank you."

The Doctor ran walked towards the TARDIS.

Jerry looked over at Montana and said, "I never got meet you, but you seem to be a nice guy."

"Thank you, Mr. Russo," said Montana.

"If we're going to die together, call me Jerry," Jerry said.

"Well then, Jerry," said Montana, "Let's give the Doctor time to get back shall we?"

Jerry nodded and all of them aimed their guns towards the doorway and several Daleks appeared inside and just started blasting away. Montana's three men fell first, but Jerry was able to blast one Dalek's eyestalk off before he was hit by a Dalek blast and fell down dead.

Henry Montana saw that the battle was over and he stood up and extended his arms outwards and said to himself, "It's time."

He was hit by a blast of green energy and fell over dead.
