CHAPTER 5

Daleks. Of course, it would have to be Daleks. Oddly enough, though the trademark killing word had been issued, no one had died. That meant that the Daleks were keeping the Doctors and their male companions alive for some reason. But why?

The men didn't take time to analyze this situation fully, but instead tried to make a plan of escape. The locks seemed easy enough to open with a sonic. And counting Tentoo's, they had four of them! Unfortunately, they were all buried in the Doctors' transdimensional pockets, and no one had hands free to get to them. Their feet were free, however, so all seven men started struggling to free one, just one sonic from one pocket, so that they could be freed. But despite their efforts, not a single sonic would budge.

Meanwhile, River had managed to dematerialize the TARDIS just in time. The women realized that the Doctor was not going to come to their rescue this time. In fact, it appeared as if it was their turn to rescue the Doctor! They weren't too keen on facing a bunch of Daleks, but if they ever wanted to see the Doctor and their husbands and Jack alive again (well, they'd see Jack alive again regardless), they had to.

Amy was the first to speak up. "It's up to us, then ladies. What would the Doctor do if the situation was reversed?"

Donna snickered. "That Martian? He'd just go barging in without a plan and nearly get himself killed in the process."

Martha sighed. "Yeah, how about let's not do that."

"Right then, so, we need a plan. Any ideas?" Clara asked.

River twirled her gun around in her hand before placing it back in the holster. "I have a few."

"I'll bet you do!" Rose retorted, laughing. "But, you know that the Doctor hates guns."

"That's never stopped me before!" River grinned.

"My daughter does have a point. We might have to fight our way out of this." Amy said. "What's the best way to avoid death by Dalek?"

Silence fell upon the room.

Clara timidly chose to speak up. "In one of my past lives, I had the rather unfortunate experience of being turned into a Dalek." This earned quite a few gasps from the others in the room. She was undeterred, however. "Therefore, I know a thing or two about how Daleks think and work. They believe that they are superior and that all other species should be exterminated. They believe that they have no emotions, but Davros, their creator, was not able to eliminate them entirely. Daleks in fact have two emotions: hatred and fear. They usually operate under the first emotion: hatred. That is how they are able to kill without hesitation. Fear, however, disables them. Unfortunately, Daleks do not scare easily. In fact, there is only one person who has ever stirred that emotion within them, and I doubt that I need to tell you who that is."

"The Doctor!" all the others answered in unison.

"Right. So, what we need to do is find out another way to scare the Daleks." Clara stated.

"I see what you're saying, Clara." Martha said. "So. What is it specifically about the Doctor that the Daleks find so fearful?"

"Well... hmm..." Clara started, stumped. "They... just... I don't know? The Doctor is the only one who has ever defeated them, and they do not like to be defeated."

"But what is it about defeat that terrifies them so, Clara?" asked Rose. "Is it death? Is it disgrace? Is it the fear of being alone? If we can determine the specifics of their fear, we may be able to exploit them."

"Um... well..." Clara started. "A little bit of each, I should guess. Who isn't afraid of their own death? Who doesn't fear humiliation and disgrace? Who really wants to be alone in the Universe?"

"Daleks" Donna remarked.

The others nodded in resigned agreement. This conversation was officially going nowhere except round and round in circles. Then Martha had an idea. "Wait, Clara, did you say that the Doctor is the only one to have defeated the Daleks? Technically, though he was always involved, that is not true. We have defeated the Daleks. Each of us!

Suddenly everyone excitedly started talking at once. Phrases like "Impossible Girl", "Doctor Donna", and "Bad Wolf" were tossed around. Eventually, they settled on a plan that sounded incredibly dangerous but a whole lot of fun. It was so crazy that it just might work!

With the TARDIS still cloaked and under River's guidance, the women were able to land the ship quietly right next to the room where the men were kept. It looked like they were in a small cell with iron bars like a medieval prison. The women chuckled at the men's movements as they were trying to free a sonic. They looked like they were performing a very odd and disorganized dance. It was no luck, however. The Daleks were pacing outside the cell, acting, well, bored. Rose thought that that was odd and seemed out of character for them. They appeared to be waiting for something.

River suddenly materialized inside the cell, placed her finger over her lips, grabbed all four sonic screwdrivers from the Doctors, and then disappeared without a word. The men just stared at each other as if saying, "What do we do now?"

Suddenly, the door to the TARDIS opened, and a bright light spilled out. The women were dressed to kill - literally. They were dressed in black leather from head to toe and heels. "The Doctors' Angels" was emblazoned across their backs in TARDIS blue. The Daleks tried to exterminate, but failed to get past the force field that was cleverly erected. The jaws of the men hit the floor. The women looked hot!

"This is gonna be fantastic!" Rose declared, tossing her hair over her shoulder.

"Allons-y!" Donna and Martha chimed in along with her.

"Geronimo!" Echoed Amy, River, and Clara.

Clara, Rose, Amy, and Donna were armed with the sonics. River and Martha had very large guns. Donna's booming voice then addressed all assembled. "Daleks! Release the prisoners to us, leave this Universe, and we will spare your lives!"

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS BLASPHEMY! EXPLAIN! EXPLAIN!"

"You want an explanation?!" Rose yelled. "Scan us, and see who we are! Or, how about we help you along, and tell you ourselves?!"

"The Impossible Girl!" yelled Clara.

"Pond. Amelia Pond!" Amy had always wanted to say that. Though as soon as she did, she felt that maybe she had.

"Doctor Donna!" Donna proclaimed with much pride.

"Martha Jones!" Martha squeaked, vowing to earn herself a code name if it's the last thing she ever does.

"The Devil in Heels!" River bellowed.

"And..." here Rose paused for effect. "Bad Wolf!"

At the name "Bad Wolf" the Daleks hesitated and backed away. "IT IS THE ABOMINATION! THE NUMBER TWO ENEMY OF THE DALEKS! THE BAD WOLF SHALL BE EXTERMINATED!"

"Number two enemy, eh?" Rose deadpanned, knowing exactly who number one was. "I'm honored."

Then the fighting began. River and Martha began shooting. River took out twenty or thirty Daleks with one shot each, while Martha considered herself lucky to be able to take out just one, but together, they cleared a path for the others. Meanwhile, Amy sonicked open the cell and began freeing the prisoners, of course, starting with her beloved Rory who just stared at her in amazement and adoration. Donna and Clara had made their way to the control station where they began using their borrowed sonics to interrupt the collective mind of the Daleks and force them to start exterminating each other.

Rose, meanwhile, had slipped away, following a retreating Dalek down a dark corridor. "The Daleks don't take prisoners, especially when the Doctor is involved." she thought to herself. "They just exterminate. This whole scenario was just too easy. There's something else going on here, and it's up to me to find out what it is."
