Gwen thought she was never going to stop falling. The pitch black only added to her fear, the fear of falling forever.

When she hit what she hoped was water it was a complete surprise. What was even more surprising was the fact the water was warm and was there light emanating from somewhere?

She could just about see her surroundings and if her eyes weren't deceiving her it looked like she was in a tank.

It was then that she heard a splashing from behind her.

This wasn't good and then she felt something brush her leg. She turned in the water and the something brushed against her leg again.

Then she felt something like needles against her leg and she screamed.

Jack hit the floor with a bone-crunching thud and wished he'd died straight away. Instead it took him a good ten minutes to die; bleeding out was never a good way to go.

He came back to life with the customary rush of light and the wave of pain that shredded ever nerve and muscle.

Wherever he was it wasn't dark, but was lit by rows of torches. "Okay, all I need now is a mummy to show up."

The words had only just left his mouth when a scream echoed down the corridor. He recognised that scream.

"Gwen!" he cried and clambered to his feet and sprinted in the direction of the echo.

Gwen kicked out at whatever was in the water. She knew she was bleeding and she was trying not to panic. Panic would increase the blood flow and she really didn't want to attract anymore of whatever might be in the tank.

Whatever it was hadn't come back after the initial bite, but that didn't mean it wasn't still there.

She turned nervously in the water, straining to see into the diffused light of the tank. Then she saw it, a dark shape against the light and it was heading straight for her.

With a cry of terror she swam backward to what she hoped was the edge of the tank, her eyes never leaving the dark shape in the water.

It was approaching fast and she could now see its jaws and she couldn't stop the scream that left her mouth.

She closed her eyes and waited for the agony of being bitten in two. She felt something grab her and she said a silent goodbye as the thing...pulled her upwards?

She felt not jaws but hands hauling her upwards and out of the water. There was huge gush of water as the things jaws snapped inches away from her feet.

"I've got you!" a familiar voice yelled and she collapsed into Jack's arms. "I've got you," his voice said in a softer tone.

She woke to find Jack smiling down at her.

"Jack!" she cried, looking round her wildly.

"Ssh, it's okay," he said and sat back.

Gwen struggled up and managed to lean against the wall of the pyramid. "Well, we found a way in."

Jack let out a small laugh. "I guess we did." He looked up into the darkness. "Thank for the warning Doc."

"So, what do we do now?" Gwen asked.

Jack looked at the tank and then at the corridor. "It looks like this tunnel only goes one way. This thing the Doctor called the Light must be down here. I guess we find it and figure out what it is later."

Gwen nodded. "But what did he mean when he said his body was in a hybrid state?"

Jack fell silent, a cold feeling chilling his blood. "It's something not good," he said and stood, offering a hand to Gwen.

"Let's go."

Davros roared with impotent rage as he was placed in a holding cell. "I will destroy you!" he roared as the hybrid closed the cell door.

"Really, that's an interesting idea. I have survived for millennia, faced enemies far more powerful than you. Did you really think that toy of yours was going to destroy me? All you have done is repair the damage done to this body and for that I thank you."

The screams of Davros were cut off as the cell door slammed shut.

The Darkness surveyed the hybrid reflection in the metal of the door...this body was stronger, faster and full of new information.

He turned away from the cell and spoke to the Supreme Dalek. "Is the tracker functioning?"

"Affirmative, the TARDIS has made planet fall."

"Excellent, move the fleet. We will find the scrolls and from there we will eventually find the Light."

"I obey!" the Supreme Dalek replied and moved off.

The Darkness smiled, soon the only thing capable of destroying him would be no more and then he would be all powerful.

He laughed when he heard the small sound of what was left of the Time Lord's self scream its frustration.

He felt the floor under him vibrate and he moved over to a window and watched as countless ships moved as one.

He began to laugh again... Darkness Rises and the Light shall fall!
