Kris's POV:
"I guess smiling at them isn't going to stop them?" I asked, as the dolls closed in on us.
"Why would smiling stop them?" the Doctor asked.
"I don't know. It worked in the book!" We started backing up, with huge grins on our faces.
"Well, it's not working now." the Doctor said.
We had no plan, no way out…until I bumped into something metal. It was a ladder leading up to the catwalk!
With no time to lose, we scrambled up the ladder & ran down the catwalk towards the exit.
"Wrong way!" I cried out. Dolls in glittery white outfits from the final room were blocking our path. We turned & ran the other way, only to find our way blocked by some dolls from the South American display. The hula dancers were guarding the bottom of the ladder, so we couldn't climb back down.
"What do we do?" I asked. The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver & pointed it at the dolls. He pressed the button, & they froze. He turned around, & did the same thing to the glittery white dolls blocking the exit.
"What was that?" I asked.
"A low level EMP blast." the Doctr said. "Not enough to destroy them, just enough to buy us some time…but not a lot of it." The hula dancers were starting to climb the ladder.
"Come on!" the Doctor said, & we quickly picked our way through the glittery dolls. We ran down the rest of the catwalk, making it back to the start of the ride. We ran out of the ride & into the empty park.
"I think we lost them." the Doctor said, after running for a while. We turned toward Tomorrowland. "I want to lock this up in the TARDIS before we continue." He took out the jar with the thing he had captured. "The AAs won't be able to get inside."
"What is that thing anyway?" I asked.
"A cybermat."
"Ok, maintenance mode is on." I said. We had decided to use the Utilidors to go to Epcot. Our first stop was Spaceship Earth.
"So…what exactly is a cybermat?" I asked the Doctor as I sat down next to him. He started the ride with his sonic screwdriver.
"They're pets." he said. "They're sent to do their master's bidding." He turned to me. "Have any of the guests gone missing?"
"I don't think so." I said. "Why? Do you think this stuff with the AAs is just a distraction?"
"Not sure yet. I've got several theories I'm working on…" We rode in silence for a while, each looking for something out of the ordinary.
"What's that?" I asked as we passed through the display for the Fall of Rome. I had seen a flash of something silver.
The Doctor stopped the ride & we got out. Carefully, we made our way over to the exhibit. Leaning up against a Roman column was something strange. It looked like a robot.
"This guy was definitely not around in Ancient Rome." I said.
"You'd be surprised." As we watched, the robot & the other AAs around us, started to move.
"What do we do?" I whispered.
"The ride vehicles are attached to the track. What do the maintenance workers do when they have to get in here?" The Doctor asked, as we started moving backwards.
"I think there's a catwalk, like Small World." I said.
"Can you get to it from here?"
"I'm not sure."
"Go look, I'll stall them." The Doctor stepped in front of me, & started talking to the AAs. I took a few steps backward, before turning & running to the back wall. It was very dark back here, but if there was a ladder here, I had to find it.
After a few minutes that felt like an eternity, I managed to find the ladder.
"Doctor! I've got it!" I called.
"Just go! I'm right behind you!" He didn't have to tell me twice. I scurried up the ladder & started running towards the end of the ride.
Then I realized something.
The Doctor wasn't behind me.
I guess the villain wasn't a huge reveal, since there is a Cyberman on the cover…but what do you think they're planning?
