by expelliTARDIS

The wind started to blow, the TARDIS started to spin, and Jack and Amy found themselves in a parallel universe without the Doctor! With only a stand-in to help them, Jack and Amy have to defeat the daleks and find the Doctor...before it's too late.

Dalek

The dalek swivelled its eye around, staring at Jack, Amy, and Tom. "Where is the Doctor?" it repeated.

"We don't know," Jack tried to explain. The dalek's blue eye fixed itself upon him. "Actually, we were wondering if you could tell us."

"Daleks do not tolerate liars. Exterminate!" The dalek sounded about as angry as a robot with no emotions possibly can. It pointed a limb that looked strangely like an eggbeater in Jack's direction. Suddenly, a laserlike beam shot out of it, hitting Jack in the chest. His body flashed a blueish x-ray image and he fell backward against the TARDIS.

"No!" cried Amy. Tom was too horrified to speak. He stood completely still.

"It's okay," said Amy quietly, trying to stop her voice from trembling. "It's okay, Tom. He's not… He can't…"

"He was very brave, to speak up like that," said Tom.

"He dared to defy a dalek," said the dalek. "Now, obey or you will be next. OBEY!"

Amy straightened up and tried to smile. "I know something you don't know," she said. "Actually, neither of you knows this, but Jack is-"

"Immortal," Jack finished, standing up. "Gosh, I hate when that happens. You guys have no idea how annoying dying is."

Tom blinked confusedly. He looked like he was about to faint. The dalek looked confused too. Its eye rolled around to face Jack.

"Take me to the Doctor," commanded the dalek.

"We don't know where he is!" cried Amy in terror and exasperation.

"Liars will be punished. Punish. PUNISH," Amy turned ghostly white as the dalek glided slowly toward her.

"Stop!" cried Jack.

"Why are there more daleks coming?" said Tom. Jack looked around. Indeed, five more daleks were coming, closing in on them on all sides.

"Surround the girl," croaked the dalek. The command rippled through the group like an echo. "Surround. SURROUND." Within seconds, the daleks had formed a tight circle around Amy, blocking her from sight. Their plungers pointed outward so that Jack and Tom could not get any nearer without being exterminated.

"Help!" yelled Amy.

But as far and Tom and Jack could see, there was nothing they could do.
