Chapter 3: The Lost Story of Christmas
The Doctor and Sila walked to the castle unescorted and unknown to the castle staff. The Doctor showed his psychic paper to the castle guard and let the Doctor and Sila in.
"What did you present yourself to the guard?" Sila asked.
"Oh just presented myself as a castle inspector." the Doctor replied.
"Are you really a castle inspector?"
"No. And that's the beauty of a psychic paper. It makes the reader read what he or she wanted without even questioning."
"Can I have a look at it?"
"Sure." The Doctor handed the psychic paper to Sila and she laughed at the psychic paper. "What's so funny?" the Doctor asked her.
"There's something funny about your psychic. All I see is just scribbles and funny wordings." Sila said.
"What?" The Doctor took back his psychic paper and saw it was the same one as he presented to the guards. "It's still says castle inspector to me. Why didn't you see that?"
"I know what a psychic paper is, Doctor. Genworth has a lot of spies around and they always carry psychic paper with them. I train myself to make sure if some paper is psychic or not. And your's is probably a children's toy."
"Oi, watch it." the Doctor said.
The Doctor and Sila went into the throne room and found the place empty and dark. The Doctor looked around and felt every corner of the wall while Sila found a machine and press any button she knew.
"Now whatever you do, don't do any-" The Doctor saw Sila doing something to a machine and he quietly ran to her. "What are you doing?!" the Doctor whispered.
"Trying to blow up his place. That's what I'm doing." Sila quietly replied.
"But that's not part of the plan. We have to find Genworth and-" Suddenly the light flickered open and the Doctor and Sila saw Genworth walked into the throne room.
"It can't be." the Doctor gasped as soon as he walked.
"Oh I'm sure you know about me, Doctor." Genworth said.
"Doctor, you know about Lord Genworth?" Sila asked.
"Yes, but he's no Lord Genworth." the Doctor replied to Sila. "That man is known Zeller Nr, one of the most dangerous criminals. He will drain the life force of any planet he visits without killing them. His goal is to be the most powerful man in the universe that would make the Daleks fear him."
"You have really know about me, Doctor. Last of the Time Lords and the only survivor of the Time War. Goes around in his little blue box saving the universe. Truely, you are a legend."
"Tell me why you're here and why you banned Christmas?"
"I'm here because the energy level in Lacassa is strong that I had no reason to not take their energy levels. As for why I ban Christmas, you'll have to figure that out."
"You're not getting away with this. The Lacassian people are the most one of the peaceful civilizations in the galaxy!"
"You know the Time Lords have a policy of not interfering with other planets and you, Doctor, have broken their policy. Guards, take the Doctor and his companion to the dungeons." Zeller ordered the guards and they obeyed.
The guards grabbed the Doctor and Sila and took them down to dungeons. The guards threw them into a dark cell and locked the door shut.
"You will regret this, Zeller! You can't handle the power!" the Doctor shouted.
In a secret room, Lord Genworth, who's really a criminal name Zeller Nr, entered and found his team of advisors and scientist working on his current operation. "Is it almost beginning?" Zeller asked one of them.
"Yes, Lord Genworth. Our best scientists think it will take about ten minutes to start." one of the advisors reported.
"Good. And what about the people of the planet?"
"No reports of them celebrating Christmas. It seems to us that Christmas has completely disappear from the people's mind."
"Good. As soon as the Star of Feckelo dies out, we will begin my power."
"And what about the prisoner who called himself the Doctor?"
"He's powerless as of now. In the meantime, send at least three guards to scout a blue box outside the city. The Doctor won't stop me now." As soon as Zeller left the room, adviser Lennar looked at him with anger in his face thinking he doesn't want to do this anymore.
In the dungeons, the Doctor and Sila were still trying to find get out of the dungeons. "Do you have something in your pockets that might get us out of here?" Sila said.
"Well, I have a Sonic Screwdriver but the door is made of wood. And what about you?"
"No, that phony king confiscated all my tech except a ray gun when he raided my base?"
"What made you join a resistance group that gifts people in secret?"
"I don't know. My parents joined the group and when they were children, they love Christmas until the so call Lord Genworth took over and ban Christmas all together. They gift other people in secret until they were imprisoned. They didn't tell me a lot about Christmas, but would tell me that Christmas is the greatest day of the year."
"Well, I think I can give you some aspects of Christmas." The Doctor got his glasses out and bended down as he prepared to tell Sila some info on Christmas. "You see, in some parts of the galaxy, they have the same Christmas traditions. In Lacassa and another planet called Earth, Christmas would sometimes mean a time of peace and giving. People would give gifts to one another, but not in a secret spy stuff. Though sometimes they do. When they're not giving gifts, they would play outside in the snow or have a big Christmas dinner right before Christmas day ends."
"Wow, when you think about it, I know why my parents love Christmas."
"It really is a great day to celebrate." Suddenly, the Doctor got up and he and Sila heard the door to their cell about to open.
