Kris's POV:
I slowed my pace, looking around for the Doctor. He had said he was right behind me, but I didn't see him. I looked down at the ride below me. I was over the scene with the first computers. The AAs were completely still, & there were no signs of the robots anywhere. Maybe they didn't want me…They wanted the Doctor.
I was close to the end of the ride. I rubbed my arm, the one the Doctor had healed last night. I couldn't just leave him behind.
I turned & ran back through the ride, hoping to find the Doctor somewhere along the way.
I found the Doctor in the display for the Renaissance. He was surrounded by AAs & two of the robots. All he seemed to be doing was talking. I used the catwalks to cross over to the other side of the ride to listen.
"…Because when the Cybermen come to Disney World, I will be the one standing in their way! But why am I wasting this speech on you? Where is your Cyber Leader? I demand to speak to the Cyber Leader!" the Doctor said. I had only known him for a few days, but I had never seen him so angry.
"Our Cyber Leader has been destroyed." said one of the Cybermen.
"So you crash somewhere in the Florida wilderness, stumble onto Disney property, to do…what?"
"We require a new Cyber Leader."
I didn't like the sound of that. As quietly as possible, I walked along the catwalk. I had to find something to help the Doctor.
I climbed down when I got to the exhibit about the telegraph. There were some mail bags on the side that were slightly weighted down to look as if they were filled with mail. I carefully picked one up. It was light enough to carry, but I wouldn't be able to climb the catwalk with it. Still, it was probably my best choice for a weapon.
I crept back to the Doctor, staying in the shadows.
"…It doesn't have to be this way." the Doctor said as I approached. "If you want a Leader, you got one. I can be your Leader!"
"You cannot be Cyber Leader. You are an enemy of the Cybermen. You will now be deleted." I took that as my cue. With a battle cry, I ran forward & hit one of the AAs with the bag. It fell over, but I had put way too much force behind my swing & the bag flew out of my hands.
"Kris! What are you doing here?" the Doctor asked.
"Saving you?" I said.
"What's the plan?"
"That…was pretty much it." I said. "Got enough juice for an EMP blast?"
"If I did that, the screwdriver wouldn't have any power left."
One of the AAs grabbed me by the arm. I screamed…& all the AAs fell. The Doctor stood, screwdriver pointed at the AA holding me. It wasn't as powerful as the first one, & the AAs came back to life almost instantly. The Cybermen weren't affected at all.
"Run!" the Doctor yelled, & I led him to the catwalk. We scrambled up the ladder & ran.
"What about the Cybermen?" I asked as we ran.
"They don't run. They march. We just have to be faster than them!"
We ran all the way to the end of the ride, & out into the night. Only one thought kept repeating itself in my mind.
Disney World has been invaded.
I'm so glad that you guys like the story so far! I have figured out why the link to my character design isn't working, & I plan on fixing it as soon as I get a chance…
Please review!
