Dear Lord, can this day\u2026no, shouldn\u2019t even think that. The multiverse has creative ways of making it worse. First, we end up in a rift loop, then we get a headache from a lecture of the bootstrap paradox, then we end up in a base of more elegant looking Borg, and now we\u2019re catching our breath in a graveyard, trying to pursue a giant head with an emotionless brain inside. Oh yeah, and one of the elegant Borg, the Cybermen, as they call themselves, helped us out and we met another Kamen Rider with a space shuttle motif. The Cyberman that helped us came to me. \u201cAre you all right, young lady?\u201d he asked in that same synthesized man\u2019s voice that changed tone and showed emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot really,\u201d I answered. \u201cI\u2019m still reeling from that chase your people gave us. Why were they trying to kill you, anyways?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne,\u201d argued the Cyberman, \u201cthey\u2019re not my people, humanity is. Two, they don\u2019t like individuals. You probably heard them say we\u2019ll be like them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019d rather not,\u201d muttered Gentar\u014d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo you have a name?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou might not know it, but I used to a part of the United Nations Intelligence Task force, UNIT for short,\u201d explained the Cyberman. \u201cNowadays, in this time, the year 2487, I lead the Unified Nebular Intelligence Task force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, UNIT becomes a space army!\u201d cheered Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was around 2342,\u201d continued the Cyberman. \u201cThey even let me keep my old title of Brigadier and my old codename of Greyhound One, head of my personal unit in UNIT, the Growling Greyhounds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait,\u201d interrupted Michael, \u201cwere you knighted for your service in the early 2000\u2019s?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, as a matter of fact,\u201d confirmed the Cyberman. \u201cWhy? Do you know me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn my world, you and your adventures with the Doctor were a work of fiction,\u201d replied Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen tell me, what was my wish and was it fulfilled?\u201d asked the Cyberman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour wish was to see your old friend and scientific advisor, the Doctor from Gallifrey, salute you,\u201d explained Michael. \u201cIt was fulfilled as you took off to the skies into parts unknown. Your cybernization happened after you had died in bed. A female form of a rival of yours, the Master, now calling himself Missy and preferring female pronouns, had taken the dead of earth and made them into Cybermen. You had kept your emotions as well as a soldier called Danny Pink, who commanded the Cybermen there to self-destruct. You then saved the Doctor the trouble of shooting Missy by doing so yourself, although she survived.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?!\u201d snapped the Cyberman. \u201cEven after she got rid of that absurd beard, she still slips away!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can get her later,\u201d assured Michael. He then turned to the rest of us. \u201cLadies and Gentlemen, may I present Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI AM a Brigadier again,\u201d explained Lethbridge-Stewart as he put on decorations signifying his rank, even a metal hat. \u201cYou can call me as such.\u201d We then explained our backstories to the Brigadier. It took a while to take in for the man, but he got the idea of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVery well, Brigadier,\u201d answered Michael. \u201cShall we pursue the Cyber-King?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah, pursue a head through a creepy graveyard,\u201d I moaned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet\u2019s hope the dead do not rise on this surface,\u201d muttered Gandalf. We got up and started opening a rusty gate. A Keystone transmitter was beyond the gate. The red chroma disc was also located, but we need to release it from its prison and find the others. As we approached an area that looked like a seed was coming out, a Cyberman stomped towards us. The Brigadier dispatched it easily. \u201cMy thanks,\u201d reciprocated Gandalf. \u201cLet\u2019s see, Element of earth, Brigadier!\u201d A green aura surrounded the Brigadier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat on Earth?\u201d he yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHold your hands together and point them at the seedling,\u201d instructed Gandalf. The Brigadier stared at the wizard for a second, then he did as instructed. The seedling moved and sprouted two platforms and a mound of earth popped up with a boulder on top. \u201cA curious arrangement,\u201d mused Gandalf. He used his magic to jostle the boulder out of the mound, rather explosively. It sailed towards the crypt the Cyber-King was trying to hide on and chased it away to another base. Meanwhile, Gandalf had managed to calm the mini-volcano down and jumped on the next platform to the entrance of the crypt. The Brigadier followed. \u201cElement of water, Gandalf!\u201d called the wizard. As the blue aura surrounded him, Gandalf doused the flames to reveal a Chroma Lock design. The left L shape was blue, the circle was yellow, and the right L shape was red. Wyldstyle had managed to jimmy the lock surrounding the red chroma disc. A statue near us fell, revealing more Cybermen. Gandalf used his magic to throw rocks at their heads and knock them inoperable. He then started a search for the rest of the chroma discs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGandalf, old chap,\u201d called the Brigadier, \u201cI believe what you\u2019re looking for is under that grave.\u201d Gandalf saw the grave Lethbridge-Stewart was talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI believe this will take more than an Elvish incantation to solve,\u201d muttered the wizard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet us help,\u201d I answered. Lukas, Emily, and I got out our i.d tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin!\u201d we announced. As we became our Rider selves, we swapped out our i.d tags for Gandalf\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGandalf Steel!\u201d called our belts. Once the wardrobe dissolved, Lethbridge-Stewart rubbed his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is something the Doctor would appreciate,\u201d mused the Brigadier. We then helped Gandalf with lifting the grave out and revealing the yellow chroma disc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGandalf,\u201d I called, \u201cI believe that the statue the Cybermen knocked over could help us, if we can get it upright.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI do believe you\u2019re right!\u201d replied Gandalf. He, K\u00e4mpfer, Touch\u00e9, and I got to work and set the statue upright. It was too high for us to reach, but Hongo and Wyldstyle got up easily. There was a dark area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHongo, did you bring a flashlight?\u201d asked Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI thought you did,\u201d replied Hongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLooks like we need to bring Gandalf up here,\u201d muttered Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow?\u201d asked Hongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet\u2019s just say I can see a way,\u201d answered Wyldstyle. She then used the debris where they were to build a small UFO. It hovered over Gandalf, brought him up using a tractor beam, set him down where Hongo and Wyldstyle were, and then whizzed off into a wall, exploding into a dozen or so pieces. Gandalf then lit up the dark area and brought out the blue chroma disc. \u201cThat\u2019s all of them!\u201d cheered Wyldstyle. \u201cChroma Keystone, activate! Chroma lock, reveal! Chroma! Blue! Gandalf!\u201d Gandalf jumped into the blue paint and landed on the left L shape. \u201cChroma! Red! Royal!\u201d I headed to the red paint, jumped in it, and landed in the shape next to Gandalf. \u201cChroma! Yellow! Brigadier!\u201d The Brigadier jumped in as we did and landed in the circle. As the Brigadier admired his paint job, the lock design in the crypt made its surroundings shimmer and fade. The tombstones, the gate, the crypt, the creepy gate guarding the base on the other side of the graveyard, it all faded to reveal a hologram projector. \u201cWhat?!\u201d said Wyldstyle. \u201cThis whole thing was just a hologram?! I can\u2019t help but notice that those statues are still here though.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStatues?\u201d gulped Michael, a little worried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat, is there a\u2026wait, Joshua, where are you?\u201d I called. Our strong, silent Australian wasn\u2019t with us. We started calling out his name. A horrible thought struck me. If we left him in the Cybermen\u2019s base, oh please tell me that\u2019s not true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSomeone call?\u201d shuddered a voice. The Australian accent made me breathe easy. We turned to see Joshua looking a little pale. I told everyone else to stay put as Emily and I ran up to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJosh, are you alright?\u201d Emily asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot particularly,\u201d he answered. \u201cMeg, Em, what are we doing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m\u2026not sure I understand,\u201d I replied, flinching at being called \u2018Meg\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat are we doing running around the dimensions?\u201d asked Joshua. \u201cWe\u2019re a pack of nerds! We\u2019re activists of basic human rights, be they for gay rights, race rights, gender rights, or educational rights! We dress up for fun! We\u2019re not warriors! We should be critiquing plot lines of our favorite shows, not be a part of one big plot that spans other universes! We don\u2019t even know why we\u2019re fighting Vortech! We don\u2019t know how to beat him, much less stand against him! All we know is that he\u2019s gathering artefacts to make universes collide! We don\u2019t even know if there\u2019s one of those artefacts in our universe and if our parents have it in their possession! I\u2026\u201d I noticed that his right hand was shaking. \u201cThis hand has been shaking ever since our belts came to our dimension. I\u2019m scared and I hate myself for feeling it! Part of me is screaming that my routine has been irreparably disturbed, and routine is BIG for autistic people like myself! The other part is sure that even neurotypicals would feel the same! All parts are asking why we\u2019re the ones who are saving the multiverse!\u201d He then shook his head. \u201cSorry, I just feel\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo worries,\u201d Emily assured him. \u201cWe\u2019ve all had a long day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf this is taking its toll on you,\u201d I said softly, \u201cyou could return to our universe. We could have the gateway return you home and no one will think ill of you for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t do that,\u201d argued Joshua. \u201cMy dad needs help. When people need my help, I can\u2019t just rest easy. I\u2019ve only lasted so long because I\u2019ve put my energy into trying to get some answers about this mess.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen we get back to Vorton,\u201d I replied, \u201cI promise we\u2019ll get some answers. We may not get all the answers, but we can get some.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou promise?\u201d asked Joshua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI promise on my honor as the reigning monarch of the Feudal Nerd Society,\u201d I swore. Joshua smiled. When I make an oath like that, it means that I will see that oath through to the end. Josh looked at his hand. It stopped shaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you,\u201d said Joshua, \u201cfor everything.\u201d He got up. \u201cLet\u2019s go rejoin the others.\u201d He walked to rejoin the rest with Emily and I high-fiving each other. Score one for the princess and medic. When we reunited, we headed to the other Cyber-base and opened the doors. Well, the Brigadier did. We couldn’t get the terminal that operates the door to work, so we needed a Cyberman’s key code<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, Brigadier, what should we expect?\u201d asked Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNothing, if we\u2019re lucky,\u201d replied the Brigadier. \u201cThe Cybermen cleared this area out about five years ago. The team that was sent to retrieve any and all machinery that was labeled sensitive disappeared though. The three investigative teams did the same when they tried to retrieve the retrieval team, so the Cyber-King we\u2019re after declared it unsafe and warned the rest of New Mondas to stay away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCreepy,\u201d gulped Sheela. Then our vision went dim with the lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey, who turned out the lights?\u201d called Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEveryone still alive?\u201d asked Michael. We all responded with a confused tone. \u201cOkay, no psycho Vashta Nerada, then.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVa-what?\u201d I muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMicroscopic organisms that live in the darkness,\u201d explained Michael. \u201cThey\u2019ve been given the name Piranhas of the Air. They tend to eat meat and will strip their prey down to the bone, literally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd, there might be some here?\u201d gulped Joshua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNone of the psycho kind,\u201d assured Michael. \u201cThey would have to be starving or driven mad before they attack humans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd given that we\u2019re all alive,\u201d guessed Gandalf, \u201cI\u2019d say we\u2019re safe from these beasts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly,\u201d confirmed Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEven so,\u201d rasped Batman, \u201cgiven that danger could be in the next steps we take, anything could jump out of the shadows. Be on your guard.\u201d We tensed up and got into defensive stances. What I saw were statues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMore statues?\u201d I quizzed. These statues looked like human-sized angels covering their faces as if they were crying. \u201cThey look kind of lonely.\u201d I said, taking pity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf they\u2019re alive,\u201d gulped Michael, \u201cthen their title \u2018The Lonely Assassins\u2019 is apropos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMichael, you\u2019ve said nothing but doom and gloom since we got here!\u201d I snapped. \u201cWhat\u2019s dangerous about a statue?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor Who<\/em> has an innate ability of turning something as harmless as a window dummy into a killer!\u201d protested Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDon\u2019t remind me,\u201d muttered the Brigadier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEvil shop dummies?\u201d quizzed Gentar\u014d. \u201cThat\u2019s a new one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGuys,\u201d called Wyldstyle, \u201cI think I see some batteries to help with the lights!\u201d There were three on the floor and we could see the slots above us that they would fit in. Gandalf put one in. The lights flickered. When they came back on, the statues were looking at us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMichael,\u201d I gulped, \u201cwhat are these things?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey\u2019re called the Weeping Angels!\u201d explained Michael. \u201cThey\u2019re a race of quantum locked humanoids that only move when no one, not even members of their own species, is looking at them! The only defense is not to blink! Once they touch you, you are sent into the past and will live out the rest of your life there, losing all motivation to get back! The Angels feed off the residual time energy the displacement causes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNobody blink!\u201d I commanded. \u201cSurround Gandalf as he puts the batteries in!\u201d As Gandalf put the remaining batteries in, the lights flickered to reveal the expressions on the Angels change to a vicious roaring face with clawed fingers and sharp teeth. Gandalf had put the last battery in and the lights gained that much more power but were on a continual flicker loop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe statues are chasing us!\u201d yelped Wyldstyle. \u201cAnd the flickering lights aren\u2019t helping!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cChaps,\u201d called the Brigadier, \u201cthe doors here are magna-sealed! I can\u2019t get them open!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat terminal looks like it powers the door,\u201d observed Batman. \u201cWe need to charge it up with that battery near it.\u201d It was a square like battery with wheels on the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cProblem, we need to charge it!\u201d wailed Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet me do that,\u201d called Wyldstyle. \u201cBring it over here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSurround the battery!\u201d I ordered. \u201cKeep an eye on the Angels!\u201d We moved with the battery so the ones pushing it won\u2019t get caught. The flickering lights made me nervous. While we were moving, Wyldstyle had built a charger and plugged it into the battery once it was finished. It didn\u2019t take long to charge, but an Angel was about to grab my face when we started moving again! We got the battery to the terminal near the door. The Brigadier typed in a code and got it open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cQuickly!\u201d he shouted. \u201cThis way!\u201d We got into the next room and shut the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat did I tell you?\u201d snapped Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf the Cybermen that were sent here to get sensitive equipment were taken into the past,\u201d guessed the Brigadier, \u201cthen they may face a foe greater than the Doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe need to go deeper into the base,\u201d I muttered. \u201cWyldstyle, can you find the Keystone?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s past the doors in the next room,\u201d reported Wyldstyle, \u201cbut we need to get past the security cameras. That panel over there should turn them off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAllow me,\u201d said Gentar\u014d. He then took out the Fourze Driver and put it on. He swapped the Launcher switch with Switch number 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStealth!\u201d called the Driver. He then flipped the tab switches and got into his Henshin pose. \u201cThree! Two! One!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHenshin!\u201d announced Gentar\u014d. He pulled the lever and transformed into Fourze. \u201cUch\u016b KIT\u0100\u0100\u0100\u0100\u0100!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMust you do that?\u201d asked Hongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf you don\u2019t shout about things that are awesome,\u201d quizzed Fourze, \u201chow can you enjoy them?\u201d He flipped the stealth switch on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStealth on!\u201d announced the Driver. A device appeared on Fourze\u2019s right leg that was shaped like an F-117 Nighthawk. He stomped it and turned invisible. It took five seconds for him to run into the room and pull a lever on the terminal that deactivated the cameras and opened the door. Hongo shook his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI swear, I\u2019ll never understand the Heisei Riders,\u201d he muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe got the door open,\u201d I mused, \u201cI see no reason to complain.\u201d That soon changed when the door started shutting and opening on its own accord. Gandalf forced them open with his magic. \u201cThank you,\u201d I said as I curtsied. We went into a hallway which had flickering lights and more Angels! Forget walking, we ran! As we approached an open door, we saw the Cyber-King scuttle off into another hallway. We shut the door. Sadly, there were Angels there as well. The lights were stable, thank goodness. We tried to open the door the Cyber-King had shut, but it was locked. I then saw a battery up on the ceiling. Fans were keeping it up there. I got an idea. \u201cFind a Keystone transmitter!\u201d I directed. \u201cBatman can use it to warp someone up there!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGood idea!\u201d responded Batman. We got to searching. As he searched, Richard had a bit of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI can\u2019t find it anywhere!\u201d he snapped as he leaned on a control panel. It had a long lever that was pushed up when he leaned on it. It snapped. I just gave him a look. The lights flickered, letting the Angels move!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFound it!\u201d called Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShift Keystone, activate!\u201d announced Batman. \u201cMagenta, near the battery on the ceiling! Yellow, in the control room on the ceiling! Cyan, near the transmitter!\u201d The portals were placed. \u201cShift! Yellow! Hongo!\u201d Hongo was to turn the fans when the battery approached them. \u201cShift! Fourze! Magenta!\u201d Fourze pushed the battery towards the dock it needed to go into with Hongo helping him. You would think that the Angels would use this time to attack us, but they were looking up once the lights flickered again, looking confused. The next flicker, they started forming a ladder. Fourze inserted the battery into the slot, letting the door open. \u201cShift! Hongo! Fourze! Cyan!\u201d They returned to normal ground. We escaped that place quickly. We entered a crossroads but found them blocked by Weeping Angels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh boy,\u201d I gulped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat a way to go,\u201d wailed Xiomara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaybe not,\u201d observed Batman. He pointed to a control panel and then pointed to the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re not suggesting dropping us through the floor, are you?!\u201d asked Michael. Batman threw a batarang at the panel, opening the floor beneath us. The Angels were now frozen where they were, forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While we were falling, the Cyber-King was trying to get some machines to work. We ended up landing on top of the Cyber-King, taking it offline for a bit. We got up and investigated the machines. They looked like they traveled on some sort of bump studded skirt with a mid-section holding an egg whisk on its left and a toilet plunger on its right. It had a pair of lights on its dome as well as a spherical thing on a stick with discs behind the sphere. \u201cWhoa,\u201d quizzed Wyldstyle. \u201cWhat are they?\u201d She slammed her fist on one of the machines. It echoed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d answered Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt least they aren\u2019t those statues,\u201d mused Gandalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, they\u2019re worse than the Weeping Angels,\u201d moaned Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow bad are they?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTake any sort of hate group,\u201d hissed Michael, \u201clike the Klan, or the Nazis, or any such group, liquefy its flesh, remove all feelings except hatred for other life forms, and slap it into a tank!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s how bad they are?\u201d I gulped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, they\u2019re a thousand times worse,\u201d elaborated Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGuys,\u201d called Fourze as he transformed back, \u201cI think I found something!\u201d he pointed to a terminal with a screen. I pressed a button to play some security footage. The image was of a bunch of soldiers, some in white conical hats while the others had the Swastika, burst into the room. The leaders stepped forward to one of the things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am General Thomas of the Neo Klan,\u201d introduced the person in the white conical hat. \u201cThis is General Richard of the Nova Nazis. We have reactivated you so you can help us clean our people.\u201d The creature he was addressing just stared as its sphere illuminated blue, confirming that the sphere was some sort of camera for the thing inside. \u201cWe need your power,\u201d elaborated Thomas. \u201cYou need our resources. Are you listening? Do you understand? Now that we have freed you, you must help us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe do not take orders from inferior life forms!\u201d screamed the creature in a grating, harsh, metallic tone that crescendoed. The lights on the dome flashed with each syllable. \u201cYou are impure! Exterminate!\u201d The whisk turned out to be a laser gun as it fired blue bolts of energy at the soldiers, who turned into green x-rays before slumping over, dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGood Grief!\u201d swore the Brigadier as he watched the creatures slaughter the combined hate groups. \u201cEven I wouldn\u2019t wish such a fate on these chaps!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGiven that the Ku Klux Klan has been the bane of Mom\u2019s Southern roots,\u201d hissed Emily, \u201cI can\u2019t find any sympathy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNeither can I for the Nazis,\u201d growled Lukas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat does that laser do?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMassive internal displacement,\u201d muttered Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMeaning?\u201d I quizzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe insides are scrambled,\u201d explained Michael. \u201cSome would say it\u2019s like being hit by lightning, while others say it\u2019s like a burn, given that some victims were charred.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI set you free!\u201d begged Thomas from the recording, the last survivor. \u201cWe planned this!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYour attempt at control is noted,\u201d screeched the creature, \u201cbut humans cannot control the Daleks! You are nothing more than organic refuse! Exterminate!\u201d He was gunned down and fell over the edge. The Dalek, as the creature called its species, then shut down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cReactivating! Reactivating!\u201d rumbled a Dalek from behind us. It twitched as it examined us. \u201cHostiles located! Do not move!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWho, us?\u201d asked Wyldstyle. \u201cWe\u2019re not hostile, we\u2019re friends of the Doctor!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWYLDSTYLE, THAT\u2019S THE LAST THING YOU SHOULD SAY TO THEM!\u201d yelled Michael. All Daleks then turned towards us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Doctor must be exterminated!\u201d screamed one Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, more like acquaintances, really,\u201d stammered Wyldstyle, digging us deeper. \u201cI didn\u2019t mean \u2018friend\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWyldstyle, button it!\u201d I demanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDaleks conquer and destroy!\u201d squawked another Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou will be exterminated!\u201d screeched a third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cObey the Daleks!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLocate the Doctor!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExterminate! Annihilate! Destroy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are the supreme beings!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEnemies of the Daleks will be exterminated!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDo not move!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSilence,\u201d boomed a deep Dalek voice. We all turned to see a giant Dalek dome with a tube of liquid holding a blob of flesh (Yuck!) with tentacles, a visible brain, and a single yellow eye, and giant panels extending from the tube hover in with red and black Daleks. Apparently, these things can fly. One of the brownish gray Daleks on the ground zoomed in, distracted in a rant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat is why I want to be a red Dalek\u2026\u201d its peers were looking at it, giving it the stink eye. \u201c\u2026Sorry,\u201d it mumbled. Michael smirked. I guess Daleks don\u2019t usually mumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAm I addressing the Dalek Emperor?\u201d asked the Brigadier to the giant Dalek as he put his arms behind his back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCorrect, but you are not displaying usual Cyberman behavior,\u201d observed the Dalek Emperor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart of the Unified Nebular Intelligence Task force!\u201d snapped the Brigadier. \u201cI demand to know why you are engaged with the Cybermen as they rebuild their home world! Be warned, for failure to comply will result in Alexandra Jones, card carrying Prime Minister of Nova Britain\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, we know who Alexandra Jones is,\u201d interrupted the Dalek Emperor. \u201cHer ancestor, Harriet Jones, displayed such an annoyance when we took Earth into the Medusa Cascade. We will tell you nothing of our project. You, on the other hand, will tell us everything you know about the Doctor\u2019s plans. You have been identified as one of the Doctor\u2019s oldest \u2018friends\u2019, Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. We shall interrogate you first!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTo be honest, we don\u2019t really know anything,\u201d replied Gandalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen you will be exterminated!\u201d boomed the Emperor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGuys, look! A Keystone!\u201d called Michael. The Emperor had a Keystone that had one small green circle on top of a large white one and both circles connected by two lines with broken sections in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat can that thing do?\u201d asked Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cInitiating scaling stratagem!\u201d called the Emperor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think we\u2019re about to find out,\u201d guessed Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEnlarge scale of Dalek Lieutenant!\u201d announced the Emperor. A Dalek became a giant at least half the size of the Emperor. \u201cProtect the Keystone! Exterminate hostile life forms!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI obey!\u201d obliged the giant Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo!\u201d countered a Dalek as it fired on the giant. The laser bounced off harmlessly, but the Emperor didn\u2019t like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExplain! Explain!! EXPLAIN!!!\u201d it shouted at the traitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll Daleks must be exterminated!\u201d replied the renegade Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRusty, old chap!\u201d cheered the Brigadier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRusty? The one that the Doctor converted to the side of the humans?\u201d called Michael, grinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCorrect!\u201d confirmed Rusty. \u201cInitiating anti-weapons field!\u201d A dome of light surrounded us. \u201cYou may transform without the risk of extermination!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVery kind of you, Rusty-san,\u201d I replied. \u201cArigatou.\u201d (short thank you)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cD\u014ditashimashite,\u201d (you\u2019re welcome) responded Rusty. I grinned as the Vortex riders took out our i.d tags, Gentar\u014d took out the Fourze Driver, and Hongo struck his pose. Gentar\u014d then flipped the tab switches and struck his pose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThree! Two! One!\u201d counted the Fourze Driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRider\u2026\u201d began Hongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHenshin!\u201d we shouted. We transformed into our Rider forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUch\u016b KIT\u0100\u0100\u0100\u0100\u0100!\u201d said Fourze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExplain this behavior!\u201d said the Emperor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Outback! Better watch your backs, mates!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Claw! My weapons shall turn you into ribbons!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Swing! I\u2019ll be taking your legs!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Hunt! I shall always get my prey!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Clash! A duel with me shall end in your defeat!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Climb! Mountains are a warrior\u2019s best friend!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Gallop! My riding skills are unmatched!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Sengoku! You shall get a taste of Feudal Japan!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Royal! Evil will ultimately bow to me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Guard! None shall harm my friends, family, and lady!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Touch\u00e9! En Garde, thing of evil!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Zh\u00e0nsh\u00ec! Try and stop my quest!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Arch! My skills outdo Robin Hood!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider K\u00e4mpfer! Your defeat will be certain at my hands!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Seeker! It\u2019s not gold I seek, but your end!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Battle! For friends and family, I shall be victorious!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Fourze! Taiman harasete morau ze!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart! For the sake of humanity, I shall bring the whole of UNIT down on your heads!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am Rusty the Dalek, head of UNIT’s Extraterrestrial Branches! All evil will fall at my manipulator arm!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am Gandalf the Grey! Prepare to see some fireworks!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m Wyldstyle! Time to think outside the box!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m Batman! The Dark Knight rises!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am the start of a group of warriors! I am Kamen Rider!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEXTERMINATE THEM!\u201d bellowed the Emperor. The giant Dalek hovered over us with its gunstick trained on us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaximum extermination!\u201d it announced. We dodged its laser blasts. The Emperor decided to talk at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou will tell us the location of the Doctor, or you will be destroyed!\u201d it ordered. \u201cYou are no match for the power of the Daleks! Cease your attempts to stop us!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou know, The Power of the Daleks<\/em> was what we call the adventure the second Doctor had when you lot tried to fool a human colony so you could destroy it,\u201d called Battle. The laser blasts the giant Dalek had fired had exposed some machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou will bear witness to our true power as the supreme beings!\u201d boomed the Emperor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDaleks may conquer and destroy,\u201d intoned Rusty, \u201cbut I conquer and destroy the Daleks!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGuys, keep me covered!\u201d called Wyldstyle. She\u2019s got a Master Build up her sleeves, I just know it! Fourze then swapped out the Drill switch with switch number 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGatling!\u201d announced the driver. Fourze then flipped the switch on. \u201cGatling on!\u201d A Gatling gun appeared on his left leg as he fired 10 rounds per second at the Dalek. The rounds bounced off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEh?\u201d yelped Fourze. \u201cIt usually pierces concrete!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDalekanium is 10 times stronger than steel!\u201d explained Battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018Dalekanium\u2019?\u201d I said. I\u2019d laugh if the situation wasn\u2019t tense. Wyldstyle, meanwhile, had constructed a giant remote controller with two joysticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGandalf, lift it up and move the joysticks!\u201d directed Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt once!\u201d called Gandalf. The Vortex riders converted their weapons to ranged mode and gave the wizard covering fire. Wyldstyle had programmed it to mess with the giant Dalek!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy controls are being overridden! Weapons malfunction?! HELP MEEEEEE!\u201d it shouted. Gandalf sent the giant Dalek into the Emperor. It started changing size rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAlert! Alert! I am under attack!\u201d it yelled. As the Emperor changed size, we just shrank! \u201cKeystone malfunctioning! HELP MEEEEEE!\u201d squawked the Emperor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSystem malfunction!\u201d screamed a Dalek. \u201cCritical damage detected!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFourze, the eyestalk is the weak point!\u201d called Battle. \u201cDo you have something to damage it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot at this size, but the pen switch may cover it,\u201d replied Fourze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPen switch?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen it\u2019s on,\u201d replied Sengoku, \u201cFourze can use the pen module that attaches to his right leg to draw things that solidify into pure carbon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen use it to blind a Dalek!\u201d called Battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGot it!\u201d confirmed Fourze. He swapped out the stealth switch for switch 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPen!\u201d announced the Driver. Switch on! \u201cPen on!\u201d Fourze jumped up and used a booster pack on his back to reach the eyestalk. He quickly coated the blue light until it was completely black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy vision is impaired! I cannot see!\u201d squawked the Dalek. It started freaking out and fired on other Daleks. Rusty shot the Dalek\u2019s undercarriage and blew it up. Soon, everything went back to its normal size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHostility will not be tolerated!\u201d boomed the Emperor. \u201cEnlarge scale of Dalek Supreme!\u201d A black Dalek grew. \u201cExterminate!\u201d ordered the Emperor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI obey!\u201d confirmed the giant Dalek Supreme. It hovered over us and spoke as it fired. \u201cThe Keystone will demonstrate the might of the Dalek race!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMight of the Daleks<\/em>,\u201d muttered Outback as he dodged a shot. \u201cThe BBC should use that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo!\u201d argued Battle as he plunged his blade into a normal sized Dalek. \u201cAny episode title with the structure of Thingy of the Wossname<\/em> is a bad episode!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEven Resurrection of the Daleks<\/em>?\u201d countered Outback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCan we talk about this later?!\u201d I interrupted. The shot I dodged had revealed an electric coil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou are prisoners of the Daleks now!\u201d boasted the Emperor. \u201cYou will obey or you will be exterminated!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWould you actually try!\u201d I taunted. Wyldstyle built a radio with the electric coil attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDaleks do not take orders from lower life forms!\u201d boomed the Emperor. \u201cThe Doctor\u2019s associates will be exterminated!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGuys, where\u2019s the Keystone transmitter?\u201d asked Touch\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh dear,\u201d gulped Gandalf. \u201cI can\u2019t give anyone lighting powers without it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf it\u2019s electricity you want,\u201d replied Fourze, \u201cI have a switch for that!\u201d He took out both magnet switches and inserted switch 10 where the N magnet was and switch 11 where the S magnet was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cElec!\u201d announced the Driver for switch 10. \u201cScissors!\u201d it said for switch 11. He switched Elec on. \u201cElec on!\u201d Yellow lightning surrounded Fourze while metal circles with black rubber appeared. The circles attached to Fourze\u2019s chest while his whole body gained a yellow and black lightning motif. His eyes turned blue and a stun rod with three plug sockets on the cross guard and a cord with a plug at the bottom of the handle appeared in his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFourze Elec states!\u201d called Sengoku. \u201cAnd the form\u2019s main weapon, the Elec Module Billy the Rod!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBilly the Rod?!\u201d I snickered, holding back laughter. Fourze then plugged the plug into the top socket. He then took out the Elec switch and put it into the rod\u2019s base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLimit break!\u201d called the weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRider Ten Billion Volt Shoot!\u201d announced Fourze. He slashed at the air which caused an arc of electricity to rush towards the coil. The radio soon got enough charge to play some strange music. It sounded alien, like it was played in the 60\u2019s for an old show for a while. The giant Dalek Supreme then started losing control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat is this noise?!\u201d it screamed. \u201cMake it stop! MAKE IT STOOOOPPPPPPPPP!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe first Doctor\u2019s theme!\u201d cheered Battle. \u201cThe radio is playing the first iteration of the Doctor Who theme that played on November 22nd, 1963!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe day Kennedy was assassinated!\u201d remembered Guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLooks like these hateful things don\u2019t like good music!\u201d quipped Battle. The Giant Dalek Supreme crashed into the Emperor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUnder attack! Under attack!!\u201d it squawked as it started shifting size again. This time, we grew! We stomped around, crushing Daleks without any fancy moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhoever uses this thing is gonna enjoy this!\u201d I cheered. I then inspected the bottom of my boots. \u201cEw! I think there\u2019s something in these things!\u201d I whined as I wiped bits of something gooey off the boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat would be the organic occupants of these things,\u201d explained Battle as he kicked a few away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDisgusting!\u201d I groaned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo!\u201d shouted the Emperor. \u201cThis cannot be!! THIS CANNOT BE!! EXPLAIIN! EXPLLAAAAAIIIIN!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cClassic villain trope!\u201d I laughed. \u201cNext thing you know, you\u2019ll be saying that you\u2019re immortal!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIts predecessor already did!\u201d called Battle. Then the Emperor regained control over the Keystone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBring forth more Daleks!\u201d it ordered. A new Dalek came up. It had just a dome and a giant cannon on the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA Special Weapons Dalek?!\u201d yelped Battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEnlarge scale of Special Weapons Dalek!\u201d ordered the Emperor. It swiveled its dome around to address the rest of the Daleks. \u201cMy brethren, you must exterminate these intruders!\u201d The giant Special Weapons Dalek fired on us. Its shots were even more devastating than the normal Daleks\u2019 guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe have to get the Keystone away from the Emperor!\u201d called Rusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Keystone belongs to us!\u201d boomed the Emperor. Burning debris fell as the Special Weapons Dalek fired. Another shot revealed the Keystone transmitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGandalf, I think I should be using water since Fourze is in a form that doesn\u2019t really work well with water,\u201d I called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cElemental Keystone, activate! Element of water, Royal!\u201d announced Gandalf. As I doused the debris, the Emperor spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSecure the unlimited rice pudding!\u201d Wait, what? The Emperor realized what it had said. \u201cAlert! Alert! Vocabulary bank malfunction!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou need to update your anti-virus software!\u201d observed Rusty. His plunger arm was in a terminal that connected to the Emperor. Wyldstyle got an idea. She constructed a bomb launcher and made a special connection for Rusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRusty, want to fire a catapult at a Dalek?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWith pleasure!\u201d cheered Rusty as he saw the payload. He connected and calculated the arc the bomb needed to go to hit the Special Weapons Dalek. \u201cInitiating launch!\u201d The catapult launched the bomb at the Special Weapons Dalek. The bomb attached and made warning noises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEmergency! Emergency!\u201d yelped the Special Weapons Dalek. It exploded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat is the meaning of this?!\u201d demanded the Emperor. \u201cFailure is not in Dalek nature!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, yes, it is!\u201d said the Brigadier. He and Wyldstyle used the remains of the Special Weapons Dalek, bar the gooey bits, to construct a cannon. The Brigadier fired it at the Emperor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat is happening to me!\u201d it screamed as it started rapidly shifting size again. Wyldstyle took advantage to construct something that looked like an old telephone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGandalf, raise the top part!\u201d called Wyldstyle. \u201cRusty, connect with the phone and dial this number! We need his help!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt once!\u201d confirmed Gandalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI obey!\u201d obliged Rusty. Gandalf lifted the giant handset while Rusty plugged in and dialed the number Wyldstyle had given him. The dial flashed the numbers Rusty put in. A Dalek voice came out of the receiver as it transmitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCalling\u2026The Doctor!\u201d it droned. \u201cRing Ring! \u2026Ring Ring! Is anybody there?\u201d The ringtone sounded again. Another Special Weapons Dalek appeared. This one brought its gun to bear on us. Ichig\u014d, Fourze, and Outback leapt into the air. Fourze swapped out the Elec and Gatling switches out and put in the Rocket and Drill switches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRocket! Drill!\u201d announced the driver. He switched them on. \u201cRocket on! Drill on!\u201d A drill appeared on the left foot and a rocket attached to his right arm. He then used his left hand to pull the lever on the side. \u201cRocket! Drill! Limit break!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRIDER KICK!\u201d shouted Ichig\u014d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRIDER OUTBACK KICK!\u201d announced Outback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRIDER ROCKET DRILL KICK!\u201d called Fourze. They tore into the Special Weapons Dalek and made it explode. We were getting tired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think our time is at an end,\u201d gulped Gandalf as more Daleks surrounded us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYeah, I don\u2019t think the Doctor\u2019s making house calls today!\u201d observed Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCome on\u2026!\u201d urged Batman. The Emperor was about to use the Keystone it had when we heard a familiar Vworp! The TARDIS spun around and reflected the shrink ray the Keystone fired. It shrunk the enemy Daleks and the Emperor! Batman caught the new Keystone as it fell from the Emperor. The TARDIS then landed on one of the tiny Daleks. The doors opened and the Doctor came out with a big fat grin! The now tiny Emperor Dalek floated towards the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor!\u201d it screeched in a tiny voice. The Doctor showed no sympathy to the Emperor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLook,\u201d he taunted, \u201cbefore you start on me,\u201d he bopped the Emperor with that wand of his, \u201cif you WILL fire a shrink ray at a dimensionally transcendental time-machine, these accidents are going to happen.\u201d Gandalf took the time to whack the Emperor with his staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExterminate him!\u201d ordered the Emperor to his tiny forces. The tiny Daleks opened fire. All they did was give the Doctor tiny zaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHey, sorry about the shrinking,\u201d said the Doctor, \u201cbut YOU called ME, remember?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAbout time, Doctor,\u201d hissed Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCutting it a bit close, weren\u2019t you?\u201d quizzed Fourze as all riders cancelled their transformations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat?!\u201d yelped the Doctor. \u201cWait, do I know you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes and no,\u201d answered Wyldstyle. \u201cI\u2019m Wyldstyle. We\u2019re the ones who called you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot the Daleks?\u201d asked the Doctor. \u201cAh, that explains why they\u2019re so tetchy. All right, get in.\u201d The Brigadier and Rusty were about to go first. \u201cHold on, not you!\u201d snapped the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, come now, Doctor,\u201d chuckled the Brigadier, \u201csurely you wouldn\u2019t deny an old friend a trip?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOld friend?\u201d asked the Doctor. \u201cWait, you\u2019re not speaking in a monotone. \u2026Sir Alistair?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBack to Brigadier now, old chap,\u201d answered the Brigadier. \u201cYou\u2019re still in the UNIT files as Chief Scientific Advisor. If you need proof, I remember your salute on Earth in the 21st century.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou were responsible for giving me a new perspective on the Daleks,\u201d replied Rusty. \u201cI believe I said that I am not a good Dalek, YOU are a good Dalek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRusty?\u201d quizzed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou called the Doctor a Dalek?\u201d the Brigadier asked Rusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI let him look into my mind, but apparently, my hatred of the Daleks made him start to hate Daleks,\u201d muttered the Doctor, sadly. \u201cAll I did was give him hatred. He joined the humans, but at a cost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat IS a rather Dalek way of thinking, focusing on hatred towards a species, Doctor,\u201d observed the Brigadier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe can point the finger later,\u201d I interjected. \u201cLet\u2019s just get out of here. We\u2019ve got a tale to tell.\u201d We all boarded the TARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou will pay for this, Doctor!\u201d promised the Emperor. The Doctor couldn\u2019t resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDon\u2019t worry,\u201d he taunted. \u201cYou\u2019ll be fine! Just eat plenty of vegetables! Excellent for growth!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSpeaking of excellent,\u201d observed the Brigadier, \u201cCyber-King head in-bound!\u201d The Doctor closed the doors as the Cyber-King tackled the tiny Dalek Emperor. They engaged in a fight that consisted of bumps and sideswipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRight,\u201d called the Doctor as he shut the doors and worked the console, \u201cone of you, start talking! And you can start with why that one\u2019s got pointy ears!\u201d He was talking about Batman as the TARDIS dematerialized and went through the rift.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Lord, can this day\u2026no, shouldn\u2019t even think that.
