All the Time in the World - The Doctor {2}

Doomsday - Part 2

"Daleks, be warned. You have declared war upon the Cybermen," The Cybermen leader said. "This is not war. This is pest control," The black Dalek said. "We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?" The Cybermen leader asked.

"Four," The black Dalek replied. "You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?" The Cybermen leader asked. "We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek," The black Dalek said. "You are superior in only one respect."

"What is that?" The Cybermen leader asked. "You are better at dying. Raise communications barrier!" The black Dalek ordered as The Doctor was visible behind the Cybermen leader just before the viewscreen went blank.

"Wait!" One of the Daleks said. "Rewind image by nine rells. Identify grid seven gamma frame. This male registers as enemy." The black Dalek turned to Jennifer, "The younger female's heartbeat has increased."

"Yeah, tell me about it," Mickey said. "Identify him," The black Dalek demanded. "All right, then. If you really want to know, that's the Doctor," Jennifer replied. The Black Dalek and the others rolled back a bit. "Five million Cybermen, easy. One Doctor? Now you're scared," Jennifer said, smirking.

The victorious Dalek returned to the room, "Cyber threat irrelevant. Concentrate on the Genesis Ark." The Daleks went to the Genesis Ark, that was a Dalek shaped copper container. "Why are we being kept alive?" Rose asked. "They might need me," Jennifer said.

"What? What is it?" Mickey asked before pulling out a large yellow medallions on chains. "I could transport out of here, but it only carries one and I'm not leaving you two."

"You'd follow me anywhere. What did I do to you all those years ago?" Jennifer asked. "Guess I'm just stupid," Mickey replied, smirking slightly. "You're the bravest man I've ever met," Jennifer said.

"What about the Doctor?" Mickey asked. "Oh, all right. Bravest human," Jennifer said. "I can't think what the Daleks need with me and Mickey. We're nothing to them," Rose spoke up.

"You could be. Whatever's inside that Ark is waking up, and I've seen this happen before," Jennifer said. "The first time I saw a Dalek, it was broken. It was dying. But I touched it. The moment I did that, I brought it back to life. As the Doctor said, when you travel in time in the TARDIS, you soak up all this background radiation. It's harmless. It's just there. But in the Time War, the Daleks evolved so they could use it as a power supply."

"I love it when you talk technical," Mickey teased. "Shut up. If the Daleks have got something inside that thing, and it needs waking up," Jennifer said. "They need you," Rose realized.

"You've travelled in time, so did Mickey. Either one of us would do," Jennifer said. "But why would they build something they can't open themselves?" Mickey asked but Jennifer shrugged, she didn't knew.

"The technology is stolen. The Ark is not of Dalek design," The black Dalek spoke. "Then who built it?" Jennifer asked. "The Time Lords. This is all that survives of their Home World," The black Dalek explained. "What's inside?" Rose asked. "The future,' The black Dalek replied.

The four Daleks disconnected from the Ark. "Final stage of awakening," One of the Daleks said. "Your handprint will open the Ark," The black Dalek told Jennifer. "Well tough, because I'm not doing it," She said.

"Obey or the male and the female will die," The black Dalek said. "I can't let them," Jennifer said as she walked over to the Ark. "No, JJ, don't," Rose said. "Place your hand upon the casket," The black Dalek ordered.

"All right! You're going to kill us anyway, so what the hell? If you escaped the Time War, don't you want to know what happened?" Jennifer asked as she walked over to the black Dalek.

"Place your hand --"

"What happened to the Emperor?"

"The Emperor survived?" The black Dalek asked. "Till he met me. Because if these are going to be my last words, then you're going to listen. I met the Emperor, and I took the Time Vortex and I pulled it into his head and turned him into dust. Do you get that? The God of all Daleks, and I destroyed him," Jennifer said, smirking. "You will be exterminated!" The black Dalek said.

"Oh now, hold on, wait a minute."

They all turned around to see The Doctor at the doorway, wearing his 3D spectacles. "Alert, alert. You are the Doctor," The black Dalek said as Jennifer, Mickey and Rose smiled.

"Sensors report he is unarmed," One of the Daleks said. "That's me. Always," The Doctor replied as he stood at the Daleks's circle. "Then you are powerless," The black Dalek said. "Not me," The Doctor replied as he took off the 3D spectacles. "Never." He looked at Rose and Jennifer, "How are you two?"

"Oh, same old, you know," Jennifer taesed as Rose smirked at the two. "Good. And Mickity McMickey. Nice to see you!" The Doctor said. "And you, boss," Mickey replied. "Social interaction will cease!" One of the Daleks said.

"How did you survive the Time War?" The black Dalek asked. "By fighting. On the front line. I was there at the fall of Arcadia. Someday I might even come to terms with that. But you lot ran away!" The Doctor said.

"We had to survive," The black Dalek replied. "The last four Daleks in existence. So what's so special about you?" The Doctor asked. "Doctor, they've got names. I mean, Daleks don't have names, do they? One of them said they --"

"I am Dalek Thay."

"Dalek Sek."

"Dalek Jast."

"Dalek Caan."

"So that's it! At last. The Cult of Skaro. I thought you were just a legend," The Doctor said. "Who are they?" Jennifer asked. "A secret order above and beyond the Emperor himself," The Doctor explained as he walked around the Daleks. "Their job was to imagine, think as the enemy thinks. Even dared to have names. All to find new ways of killing." He stopped at the black Dalek.

"But that thing, they said it was yours. I mean, Time Lords. They built it. What does it do?" Mickey asked. "I don't know. Never seen it before," The Doctor replied. "But it's Time Lord," Rose pointed out. "Both sides had secrets," The Doctor replied before turning back to the black Dalek, "What is it? What have you done?"

"Time Lord science will restore Dalek supremacy," The black Dalek replied. "What does that mean? What sort of Time Lord science? What do you mean?" The Doctor asked.

"They said one touch from a time traveller will wake it up," Jennifer said. "Technology using the one thing a Dalek can't do. Touch. Sealed inside your casing. Not feeling anything ever, from birth to death, locked inside a cold metal cage. Completely alone. That explains your voice. No wonder you scream," The Doctor said.

"The Doctor will open the Ark!" The black Dalek demanded. The Doctor laughed and stepped away, "The Doctor will not," He said. "You have no way of resisting," The black Dalek said.

"Well, you got me there. Although there is always this," The Doctor said, pulling out his sonic screwdriver. "A sonic probe?" The black Dalek asked. "That's screwdriver," The Doctor corrected. "It is harmless," The black Dalek said.

"Oh, yes. Harmless is just the word. That's why I like it. Doesn't kill, doesn't wound, doesn't maim," The Doctor said. "But I'll tell you what it does do. It is very good at opening doors." Then, the door to the laboratory blow in, entering Jake and a Cyberman with all guns blazing. "Delete! Delete! Delete! Delete!" A Cyberman said.

"Alert. Casing impaired. Casing impaired," One of the Daleks said. "Jennifer, get out!" The Doctor called. "Fire power insufficient! Fire power insufficient!" The black Dalek called as Jennifer stumbled and Rose rushed over and pulled her up just when Pete came rushing over to the two sisters. "Come on," Pete said.

Mickey dived for his big gun. "Mickey, come on!" Jennifer called. "Adapt to weaponry," One of the Daleks said. "Fire power restored!" The black Dalek said and killed a Cyberman. Mickey got jostled and he put out his hand to steady himself. It touched the Ark. He and Jake joined The Doctor, Jennifer, Rose and Pete at an emergency blast door.

The Doctor closed the blast door. "Jake, check the stairwell. The rest of you, come on," He ordered and they all ran. "I just fell, I didn't mean it!" Mickey explained. "Mickey, without us, they'd have opened it by force. To do that, they'd have blown up the sun. You've done us a favour," The Doctor said and kissed the top of his head, "Now, run!"
