The Warrior and his companions are accompanied through the corridors by there capturer. The corridors are abnormally lage for a Dalek Vessel. The Warrior notices this firstly. There was something very odd about this Dalek, and the entire ship. Earlier he had said that he had heard rumors of the Skaro Degradations. He had heard rumors of monstrosities being sown together like modern day Frankenstein stories. Rumors had some what been proven by the discovery of the hybrid Dalek's they'd been using on Morellium V. That was just the tip of the iceberg, in the Warriors mind at least. His intuition pointed him in the direction of the Emperor. He knew if he got him talking it would all come spilling out. There were a few scenarios he was afraid of however. The big one was the Nightmare Child. If they were searching for the anomaly (so rightfully named) that caused the destruction of there own creator in the very first year of the time war, this could mean serious trouble for all of creation.
The Nightmare Child was essentially a sentient Black Hole. It had been created via the star Kasterborus ( from which the system was named) dying and causing a black hole. The Death was almost a usually scheduled event in nature until Davros stuck his hands in the pot to stir. He had waited upon the death for a few years before the Time War began. Davros was hoping to gain control of the Black hole by the same means he had brought the Daleks to life. So just as the death reached its climax, and it seemed everything was about to be sucked into a black hole of oblivion, Davros activated his machine. It shot a high beam of energy into the center, and at first it didnt effect it at all. As a matter of fact, it almost destroyed Davros and his entire vessel of Daleks before finally...it stopped. He named this great source of destruction the Nightmare child. It was a great pawn for Davros and the Daleks in the first year of the Time War, until it began to think. Until it gained not only the power of being sentient, but intelligent thought as well. The NightMare child turned on its handler at the Gates of Elysium. Davros, in an attempt to destroy his "pet", flew his vessel into the Jaws of the Nightmare child, along with his machine. It caused a major implosion on the inside of the black hole and almost caused a rip in the very fabric of reality and time itself. During the middle of the chaos, it disappeared. It hasnt been seen from since. If their trying to re-create the Nightmare Child, or locate it, the Entire existence of everything could hang here in the balance.
This gruesome scenario had been playing through the Warrior's head all the way to the bridge. The Walk seemed like it took ages, however they had finally arrived at the bridge. There were Daleks everywhere around them, doing different jobs. Then in the center, over watching the entire operation, was the Emperor Dalek it-self. His eye stalk lowers as he notices the three intruders being escorted in by the capturing Dalek.
DOOOOOOOOOOOCCCCK TOOOOOOOR!" Thunders the Emperor.
"Friend of yours?" Chuckles Mona as she looks up at the seven foot Dalek. All of the Wires connecting it to the rest of the ship made it looks so intimidating.
"Well...you remember me from our last meeting on the Crucible I suppose." The Warrior shouts back up to the Emperor.
"YOU HAAVE BEEEEN CAPTURED, AND NOW ARE OUR PRISONER! YOU WILL HELP THE DALEKS TO VIIIIIICTOORYYY!" The Emperor's metallic voice is much deeper than his soldiers.
"Sure, yes whatever you say. Now...I have a question old friend..." The Warrior walks around the bridge with a certain stride as if to say, I know something you dont know. "What exactly are you doing here in the outer rims. You have no reason to be here, especially this close to Moldox!"
"THAT BUSINESS IIIISSSS NONE OF YOUURRRRS!" Replies the Supreme Dalek.
"It is completely my business. I need this information to fulfill my duties." The Warrior looks over at Mona and winks.
"THEE INFORMATION IS NOT IMPORTAANT TO YOUR TASK! YOU WILL REVEAL THE SECRETS OF THE TIIIIMMMEEELOOOORRRDDDDSSS!"
"I Asked you first, you giant tin can!" The Warrior shouts back. "AWH SHUT IT! I know what you want, ive known since we got on this rust bucket. Your after the NightMare child arent you? You want that uncontrollable power once more. I cannot fathom how you could think its a good idea to even pursue that wretched thing. You will not succeed, i wont let you."
"NEGATIVE DOCTOR...YOU ARE WRONG. WE DO NOT SEEK THE NIGHTMARE CHILD ANY MORE. WE WERE IN SEARCH OF YOUUUU!" The Daleks voice rumbles into the depths of the vessel.
The Warrior is brought back by this last comment. He was sure they were after the NightMare child. However they had good reason to kill him as well The Question was, why exactly do they want him?
"Well then, you have my attention now dont you." The Warrior leans against the nearest console where a Dalek is navigating the ship.
"THE SUPREME DALEK RACE HAS DEVELOOPPPED A WEAPONN OF MASS DESTRUCTION. WE WILL EXTERMINATE THE TIMELOOORRRRDS AT THERE OWN PROFESSION! WE HAVE DEVELOPPED A DE-MAT CANNON, SO STRONG IT CAN WIPE YOU FROM ALL OF HISTORY. YOU WILL BE ITS FIRST VIIICTIM!" The Supreme Emperor Dalek almost laughs as he finishes his sentence. A Large cannon ascends from over the top of all of the Daleks and aims in the direction of The Warrior,Mona, and .
"Hmm...well then..." The Warrior begins to walk around the bridge in front of the Emperor Dalek and its DeMat cannon, ever so casually.
"THERE IS NO ESCAPE WARRIOR, A FLEET OF MILLIONS OF DALEKS WILL ARRIVE IN MERE SECONDS. WITH THE ERADICATION OF YOU FROM HISTORY, WE SHALL EXTERMINATE YOUR ENTIRE PLANET!" The Emperor shrills.
"Well old Dalek, it seems like you have got me in a bind here hmm, seems you have finally gotten your old foe. Venus fly trap you are huh?" The Warrior un-noticeably pulls his sonic from his leather jacket inside pocket. "You would eradicate me, from history just to make your war easier. However, you have forgotten one thing Supreme Dalek! You have forgotten, i am the oncoming storm, the Guardian of worlds, the one man that keeps standing n your way, and I have a screw driver!" The Warrior holds up the Sonic with a smile.
"SEIZE THE SONIC DEVICE FROM THE DAAAAWWWKTOOOOR!" The Dalek commands.
Quickly the Warrior points his sonic up at the cannon, and using the right setting he is able to disable the charging system. it isnt a tough mend, but will take a little time for them to get it back to one hundred percent. Then in a flash he disrupts the adhesive holding together there life support systems. Steam and Sparks rain down creating a fog in which The Warrior runs over to his companions to escape. Screams and shrills of "ALERT" and "EXTERMINATE" can be heard as all three of them sprint down the corridors. back to the engine room where the TARDIS is parked.
"Good Show ole timer, we better get outta here though, gotta get back to Gallifrey and tell Rassilon about this." Mona says as they run.
"Good idea Mona my dear. I do hate talking to the old fool, but this may be necessary." Replies the Warrior.
A beeping noise begins to omit from the back pocket of . He quickly stops in the corridor an pulls it out. The Warrior and Mona stop as they notice he had. The Warrior turns around in frustration.
"Oh for Gods sake come on Aero! We mustn't dilly dally!"
"Its here Doctor! The Item is just behind these doors!" Exclaims Aero.
"What's here you fool!" Retorts an angry Warrior.
"What we were looking for, its here now!" Aero then without warning runs through the doors adjacent from him into the chamber in search of the item.
"He's gone mad ole timer!" Mona exclaims.
The Warrior quickly follows behind him with Mona.
"WAIT AERO, IT COULD BE BOOBY TRAPPED!" Warns the Warrior.
They run into the chamber and there in the center of room is a pedestal with a an old sack on it. The Warrior can see a cube like figure inside,but can't make it out.
"WAIT, WAIT AERO!" the Warrior pleads. Finally he does stop.
"Its right there, in my grasp for Galifrey. Why stop now?"
"Because you bumbling idiot, it couldn't be this easy. They must've known someone would come looking for it. We must use the utmost caution." Explains the Warrior in a very aggravated tone.
Aero looks up at the pedestal, and then back at the Warrior. "Well then what do you suppose we do?" Aero Replies.
"Well why don't you give it a sonic?" Suggests Mona.
"Good idea Mona..." The Warrior pulls his screwdriver out and does a residual scan of the area for any harmful devices. He holds it out and turns in a three hundred and sixty degree circle. He pulls it up to his eyes and glances at the readings. "...It seems there is an explosive charge under the platform that will go off as soon as its lifted without a verbal pass code." The Warrior explains.
"Could we deactivate it?" Asks Aero as he walks closer to the pedestal.
"Possibly...I could re route the trigger to hold for another ten minutes after its removed. Sort of trick the computer itself into believing the item is still there." The Warrior strokes his beard and explains. "However I will need time. You two will have to cover the entrance way."
"Done, Aero come with me back to the TARDIS. We are gonna need some firepower!" Mona Pipes up.
Aero nods and they both begin to jog back out.
"Mona!" Calls the Warrior. She stops and turns around . "Don't get yourself killed, OK." The Warrior says.
"Keep your pants on grandad. I'll be fine. I've learned everything from you ole timer." She chuckles, and then jogs out.
The Warrior stands there, thinking about those last words she had just said. She had learned how to fight from him...There really wasn't a Doctor anymore.
