Jack entered the building, every sense on overdrive, expecting an attack from any angle. He was surprised to find that the inside did indeed look like a temple.
The walls were covered in painting that seemed as fresh as the day they were painted. What looked like large stands of gold held flickering candles...probably kept alight by whatever kept the torches alight he'd used in the pyramid.
He refused to view the things that possessed the Doctor and Ianto as gods, but he supposed to a less educated society someone with the powers these two had, they would be gods.
To him they were parasites, ones he wanted to eradicate. The only thing that puzzled him was why the Doctor had asked him to try and find the one he called the Light? Why would the Doctor want something that might be as bad as the Darkness on the loose?
He mentally shrugged, that would have to wait; he had to find Ianto.
The Light walked across the marble floor, the torches just ahead of him lighting as he approached. Once he had his full power he would raise his own army and then his brother and the inhabitants of this universe would know a new master.
He stopped for a second as he felt his brother once more; his time was limited. He increased his pace and stopped by what looked an innocuous looking panel. He closed and a few seconds later the grating sounding of levers moving filled the air.
The Light stood back and watched as the wall in front of him started to slide sideways and the light in the room became brighter, much brighter.
With a sigh, the Light stepped into the light that was emanating from inside and the light began to glow even brighter.
Gwen didn't feel fear when she looked into eyes of the Darkness; she felt only rage.
"You won't do to me what you did to my Rhys!" she spat.
The Darkness smiled. "Oh yes, that was rather spectacular. Quite ingenious, don't you think? However, I have other plans for you and Miss Jones."
The smile he gave Gwen made her skin crawl and she closed her eyes when he reached for her.
When his touch didn't come she opened her eyes.
The Darkness had moved away from her and a few seconds later she knew why.
The ground under her feet suddenly shifted and both she and the Darkness stumbled. She looked over at the Darkness and saw something she never expected...fear.
"No...not possible."
His expression of fear turned to anger. "Fine, if that's how he wants to play it, then so be it."
He straightened and spread out his arms.
Gwen could feel the static as it built in the air and she looked up at the sky when she heard a rumble of thunder.
The crack of lighting that followed caused her to cover her ears and then she saw it...it was the Vortex!
"Supreme Dalek, bring the fleet through. Prepare for war!"
