4. The Cyber Commander.
Chloe stands on the bridge of the spaceship. The Commander rises from his seat.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"My name is Chloe and I've just defeated your entire army on the planet surface below! I've come to demand your surrender or face the consequences!"
"Never!" The Cyber Commander has never surrendered or backed down to anyone, and he's not going to start doing so now. "Guards!"
Chloe disappears before his eyes.
"Hologram!"
A voice behind him says, "No! I am really here!" .
Two guards arrive in the bridge area. They can see Chloe behind their Commander, but he's in the way!
"Destroy her!" the Commander roars.
The guards aim but can't get a shot without endangering their Commander.
"Fire!" the Commander roars.
Chloe decides to stop them before they destroy the Commander. She thinks of being behind one of the guards and activates her transport, then reaches around the guard to twist his chest protrusion. She repeats this with the other guard. Both fall. Chloe stands where they fell.
"Surrender now!" she demands.
The Commander recognises that he can't compete with Chloe. In all his years he hasn't seen anything like it. He sighs.
"Alright, I surrender."
"Now, take this spaceship home and tell others that they must also surrender to me! I am your leader now!"
Bold move! Not quite what the Doctor said to do!
What will she do with her new-found leadership?
"What else should I have done?" Chloe asks the Doctor a few moments later, back on the planet.
The Doctor's very troubled by what she's just told him.
"Leader of the Cybermen? They'll expect you to be there! They won't stay put without an actual person physically there!"
"I think they will. I'll keep on remotely meeting up with their leaders and they'll do what I say!"
"What?" This isn't the Doctor's style of doing things at all!
"I'm leader of the Daleks, too," Chloe declares, grinning mischievously. .
"What?"
"They recognised they couldn't stand up to me. I can do anything!" .
The Doctor doesn't like the sound of that!
"Now, steady on!"
Chloe steps up to the Doctor and hugs him. "Everything in the Universe can be okay," she says, smiling. "Especially you."
Chloe kisses the Doctor. Right now, she'd love to marry the Doctor and take his workload off him. She steps away from the Doctor.
"I'm just off to sort out the Sontarans!" .
And with that she's gone!
Sounds great, but is it too much to hope for?
