Green Vortex [III]

Planet of the Dead Pt1:

The Doctor, Galaxy and Astro stepped onto a bus after walking through the streets of London. "Just in time." The bus driver said. The Doctor pulled out his psychic paper and flashed the Oyster Card reader twice for both he and Galaxy before they headed further into the bus. Astro slipped under one of the seats and the Doctor motioned for Galaxy to slide into the seat by the window before sitting next to her.

"Hello!" The Doctor called to the black haired woman in front of them, "I'm the Doctor, this is Galaxy." He held up the remainder of what was a chocolate egg, "Happy Easter!" Galaxy chuckled as she took some of the chocolate while the woman watched them, startled.

"Funny thing is." The Doctor said as the bus moved and he wrapped an arm around Galaxy's shoulders, "I don't usually do Easter. I can never find it. Always at a different time. Although...I remember the original. Between you and me, what really happened was..."

He was cut off by a sudden beeping noise and Galaxy looked at him. "Can I have the Rhondium Detector?" She asked. "Oh!" He said, turning to get it when he realised he was still holding the chocolate and handed it to the woman in front of them, "Want to hold on to that for me?"

"Actually you can keep it. Finish it." Galaxy said as the Doctor reached into his pocket. "It's full of sugar and I'm determined to keep these teeth." He said, showing her a mouth full of white teeth, "Galaxy likes this one's smile, you see." He handed over a device to the Time Lady as it beeped, "Oh, we've got excitation!"

" Look at these readings! I'm picking up something strange!" Galaxy said.

'I could've told you that. Also dial it down a bit, you're most likely freaking the poor woman out.' Astro's voice sounded through both the Time Lords' heads, not even needing to see the black haired woman's reaction to what they were saying.

"I know the feeling." The black haired woman said. "Rhondium particles, that's what we're looking for. This thing detects them." The Doctor explained as Galaxy flicked a toggle on the device, making a radar dish pop up, "Look, this should go round. The little dish there."

"Right now a way out would come in pretty handy. Can you detect me one of those?" The woman asked.

"Ah, the little dish is going round!"

"Fascinating."

'Doctor, the dish spinning isn't a good thing.' Astro told him and as though listening to him the device in Galaxy's hand sparked and started to smoke.

"Excuse me, do you mind?" A middle aged blonde woman remarked from in front of them. "Sorry, this was our little dish." The Doctor waved her off as the dish started to make a high-pitched squeaking sound.

"Can't you turn that thing off?" The black haired woman demanded.

"Sorry, your name was..." Galaxy looked at her.

"Christina."

"Christina, I'd hold onto something if I were you." Galaxy said as she and the Doctor stood up, "Everyone, hold on!"

The bus jolted suddenly, throwing people out of their seats. The Doctor and Galaxy were thrown into the aisle and halfway to the front of the bus. Astro then came rolling down to them and Galaxy grabbed him and the Doctor half covered them both as the windows smashed and the lights flared.

"What's going on?" A young man shouted, falling down the stairs from the upper level.

A white light appeared, forcing everyone to cover their eyes and then it was over. The Doctor slowly got up, helping Galaxy to her feet and they looked out the window to see a desert plane ahead. They then made their way to the front of the bus where Galaxy forced the door open.
