Go ahead, play the Doctor Who theme. Imagine your own intro sequence. Now, imagine the names \u201cJodie Whittaker, Michael Archer, Emmanuel Babineaux, Sheela Kumar, Irina Kuznetsov, Hiroki Hishikawa, Tonje Haugen, Xiomara Elizondo.\u201d Now, imagine the title of the show. You can see it in bold, capital letters. Doctor Who! Now imagine Jodie Whittaker\u2019s grinning face in the stars then fading into the episode\u2019s title, The Dalek Extermination of Earth! before we cut to the interior of the Dalek Command Saucer. \u201cTime capsule detected!\u201d reported the Dalek running Scan-Ops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBattle computers estimate a ninety-seven percent chance that it is the Doctor!\u201d read off the Dalek running the battle computer mainframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, I think we can up that to one-hundred percent,\u201d replied a voice from the shadows. \u201cHowever, I give you my word, this time, there\u2019s a zero percent chance of the Doctor\u2019s survival!\u201d As the voice ranted, the TARDIS landed in an old station of the London Underground that had been exposed by bombing. Outside, the Daleks were squawking orders to the humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo not resist the will of the Daleks! All humans must present themselves for processing!\u201d they bellowed. We all poked our heads outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, where and when is this?\u201d asked Xiomara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLondon in the year 2055,\u201d replied the Doctor, \u201cor, at least, what\u2019s left of it.\u201d She sighed in annoyance. \u201cWho else but the Daleks would cause so much destruction?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, no point staying down here,\u201d I mused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight,\u201d agreed the Doctor. \u201cWe need to find a way up onto the street. I don\u2019t want to be late for the surprise welcome party.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, look,\u201d observed Irina, \u201ca locked door.\u201d It was a shutter style door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, Doctor,\u201d I jested, \u201cthese broken shutters are nothing your magic wand can\u2019t handle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou mean the Sonic Screwdriver?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPo-tay-to, po-tah-to,\u201d I dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Sonic Screwdriver is a tool of the Time Lords!\u201d argued the Doctor in annoyance. \u201cIt is technological in operation, not mystical!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a device that can perform a multitude of tasks with either the flick of a switch,\u201d I countered, \u201cor an incantation. It can function as a crude laser or unlock doors. That\u2019s what a magic wand does.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, at the moment,\u201d replied the Doctor as she pulled out the charred remains of a Sonic Screwdriver with the TARDIS at the end of it, \u201ca Sontaran shot it. I haven\u2019t gotten around to fixing it. Michael, be a dear and get the toolkit.\u201d She then got a faraway look. \u201cI really need to use it more often. I don\u2019t know why I stopped.\u201d She then pushed me into the TARDIS. \u201cIn any case, off you go!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait! But\u2026!\u201d I couldn\u2019t complete my sentence as the door was shut on me. \u201cI DON\u2019T EVEN KNOW WHERE IT IS!\u201d A beep from the console alerted me to a path being shown in yellow light. I figured out who made it as I grinned at the console. \u201cIs there anything Time Lords can\u2019t put into their time machines?\u201d I asked rhetorically. The console then showed me a person in simple clothes on its view screen. \u201cYes,\u201d I muttered, \u201chumility isn\u2019t a Gallifreyan\u2019s strong suit.\u201d I followed the path into a room built like a futuristic tool shed, complete with the TARDIS\u2019 old roundels. \u201cNot even the Doctor knows what the roundels are,\u201d I muttered to myself. I grabbed the toolkit and returned outside. The toolkit apparently also has telepathic circuits as I knew what tools were inside and what their main functions were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExcellent!\u201d cheered the Doctor. She knelt down at the door controls that she had opened up. \u201cNow then, pen torch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPen torch,\u201d I replied as I handed her the tool. It was a pen with a powerful torch at the end, or flashlight, if you\u2019re from America. The Doctor pulled a small clamp arm out and attached it to the edge of the opening after she turned the torch end on. After adjusting the light, she could see what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMagnetic clamp,\u201d she requested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMagnetic clamp,\u201d I replied, handing her the tool. She put it across the internal workings to make a circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAstro-rectifier,\u201d requested the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAstro-rectifier,\u201d I confirmed. It was used to give temporary power to the circuit the magnetic clamp was making. The doors opened and the Doctor removed her tools. As I put them back, I started wondering to the Daleks\u2019 purpose here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat do you suppose brought the Daleks here?\u201d asked Irina, voicing my thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m fairly sure that they didn\u2019t get lost on their way to a plumbing convention,\u201d mused Emmanuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI never asked Davros why the manipulator arm looks like a plunger,\u201d muttered the Doctor as we went up onto the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy ask Davros anything?\u201d I asked. \u201cHe just wants to cause destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut, a plunger?\u201d quizzed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaleks are the masters of Earth! Daleks are the masters of Earth!\u201d shrieked a Dalek. A saucer then blasted a large hole where a double-decker bus was resting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaleks reign supreme!\u201d called another Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlert!\u201d screeched a third. \u201cVortex riders detected!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight on cue,\u201d quipped the Doctor. \u201cNot so nice to see you again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTime Lord genetics detected!\u201d reported a Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cConfirm identity of Time Lord,\u201d ordered a Black Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI obey!\u201d obliged the subordinate. A probe stuck itself into the Doctor and flew towards the Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI already got vaccinated!\u201d she protested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTARDIS located!\u201d screamed a Dalek that traveled to the Underground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t even have legs!\u201d called Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey don\u2019t need them,\u201d I gulped. \u201cStairs may have been a problem for early model Daleks, but not these new ones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIdentity confirmed!\u201d reported the Dalek that stuck the Doctor with a needle. \u201cIt IS the Doctor!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExterminate!\u201d ordered the Black Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDrivers ready, everyone!\u201d I directed. \u201cProtect the Doctor!\u201d We got our i.d tags out and readied ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin!\u201d we all announced. We donned our familiar Rider suits and charged the ranks of the Daleks as the Doctor looked at a wall of blue light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA Dalek energy shield,\u201d she muttered, \u201cand heavily guarded too. There\u2019s nothing getting past that in one piece. There must be a power source nearby. And chances are we\u2019ll find a few more Daleks too.\u201d As she looked around, we fought off the Daleks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMight want to add us to your \u2018Ka Faraq Gatri\u2019 files!\u201d I quipped. \u201cThe Doctor\u2019s getting lonely being your only arch-nemesis!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKa what now?\u201d asked Sengoku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s Dalek for \u2018Oncoming Storm\u2019!\u201d I explained. I then stabbed a Dalek right between the manipulator arm and the gun stick. A bit of green dripped from my blade. I then turned it into rifle mode and fired on three more. As we fought, the Doctor found something. It was a console that had the same globes that are on the Daleks\u2019 skirts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAHA!\u201d she cheered. \u201cWhat do we have here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDalek technology?\u201d asked Swing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnmistakably Dalek technology,\u201d confirmed the Doctor. \u201cAnd if my calculations are correct, and they are, then this is one of the power sources to that energy field.\u201d She started fiddling with the electronics inside. The unit started shaking. \u201cTake cover!\u201d called the Doctor. Those of us that could fell on our fronts and covered our heads. The Daleks, regrettably, do not have a way to do so. I couldn\u2019t see their deaths, but I could hear them. Judging by the boom and the following death rattles they made, I guessed that the shrapnel pierced their casings and killed the creatures inside. We got up and saw the grisly aftermath of those Daleks. They weren\u2019t moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNon-Dalek lifeforms detected!\u201d screamed a Dalek\u2019s voice. \u201cExterminate! Exterminate!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStay calm!\u201d called the Doctor. \u201cMore Daleks incoming! We need to get to safety!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere in this time zone is safe?!\u201d asked Arch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEspecially now that a Special Weapons Dalek is coming!\u201d I yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right,\u201d agreed the Doctor. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing we can do here. The Daleks will have us surrounded. So, where to next? Let\u2019s take a punt, shall we? Back to the TARDIS!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cProblem,\u201d replied Seeker, \u201cthe Daleks are surrounding the Underground entrance. That Special Weapons one is with them. If only Wyldstyle were here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow easy you forget,\u201d chuckled Climb as she drew out the Wyldstyle i.d tag. She swapped hers out for the new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWyldstyle Steel!\u201d announced her belt. She got the Wyldstyle Steel on and used the Special Weapons Dalek and some street lamps to make a laser beam to slice through the Daleks and get back to the TARDIS. We got inside and started working the controls, this time with Arch and Sengoku standing to the side. The Doctor told them to head down to a room near the pool and retrieve a valuable asset. We landed in Central London again, but in a different time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c2015,\u201d sighed the Doctor. \u201cA good year, or at least, it will be if we can find the next power source to break down the Dalek\u2019s force field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd you think that we can find it here?\u201d asked Sengoku as he and Arch brought a robot in. It was shaped like a dog, was gray, and had its name on one side. It had a red visor with a probe that could be extended from the eye. It had a pair of radar dishes to look like dog ears and had a wire tail. It had a dog tag, a set of controls on its back, and a hook for someone to attach a lead (leash) on it. It looked quite battered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cK-9!\u201d I cheered. K-9 didn\u2019t move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s had quite the tumble with some Sontarans,\u201d explained the Doctor as she opened K-9 up. She fiddled with the electronics and muttered to herself. \u201cLet\u2019s see\u2026can\u2019t quite\u2026ah, yes\u2026need to align that\u2026oops, almost forgot where arrow A points\u2026and Bob\u2019s your uncle! One fully operational tin dog!\u201d She closed the dog and switched it on. As the eye glowed red, she went to the front, holding her hand out to sniff. The probe extended as K-9 gathered data on the hand, then the head tilted to see the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaster?\u201d quizzed K-9 as the probe retracted. The Doctor stroked her dog\u2019s head, making the tail wag. \u201cLast time I saw you,\u201d said K-9, \u201cwas with Mistress Sarah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is the Mark IV K-9?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes,\u201d confirmed the Doctor. \u201cI picked him up after Sarah\u2026passed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, I\u2019m so sorry,\u201d I sympathized, remembering Sarah Jane Smith\u2019s actress having a battle with cancer. She died in 2011. Then I remembered what the Doctor said earlier. \u201cK-9, when were you around the Sontarans?\u201d K-9\u2019s response, apropos, given that he doesn\u2019t know me and my friends, was to deploy his stun blaster from his snout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNegative! Negative! Negative!\u201d barked K-9 as his ears rotated backwards. \u201cRetreat! Retreat! Retreat! Intruders are not welcome in the TARDIS!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cK-9! HEEL!\u201d ordered the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaster?\u201d asked K-9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI picked these people up to help me with a Dalek problem in 2055,\u201d explained the Doctor. \u201cNow, recognize Michael, Emmanuel, Hiroki, Irina, Tonje, Sheela, and Xiomara: friends.\u201d K-9 slowly retracted his blaster and extended his probe. We cancelled our transformations and held our hands out for him to scan. When he was finished, his tail wagged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll are now recognized as friends, Master,\u201d reported K-9. \u201cCorrection; Mistress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCalling me Master is fine,\u201d assured the Doctor. \u201cNow, shall we get moving?\u201d We left the TARDIS with K-9 at the Doctor\u2019s heels. We were in Central London. A tree was about to be planted, but the truck\u2019s crew was on break. I then remembered something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor,\u201d I observed, \u201cthere was an area that would have had a tree in 2055. It would have easily been long enough for us to climb the bus and get to another part to find the energy field power source.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think Richard and Emily would call it going halfway around your butt to get to your elbow,\u201d muttered Irina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey used another word, but yes,\u201d agreed Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat could be our best option,\u201d mused the Doctor. \u201cK-9, see if you can plant that tree.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt once, Master,\u201d obliged K-9. He found a panel at the truck\u2019s rear and extended his probe to interface with it. A claw arm on the truck then grabbed the tree and put it in the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOI!\u201d called one of the crew members. The whole crew saw us. The Doctor drew out a wallet with a blank card, at least, blank to me. She presented it to the crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m the Doctor, this here\u2019s the relief crew your Foreman asked for,\u201d she answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou trying to be funny?!\u201d snapped the man. \u201cI\u2019m the Foreman and this paper\u2019s blank! I didn\u2019t ask for a relief crew OR a doctor!\u201d The card, called Psychic Paper, didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMore clever than you gave him credit for, eh?\u201d I muttered to the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLook, sir,\u201d argued the Doctor, \u201cplanting this tree is VITAL to the survival of the human race. For, in the future, that tree could very well alter the course of human history, being a beacon of hope, showing every man, woman, and child that perseverance will ensure their survival and you\u2019re not buying a single word I\u2019m saying, are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat gave that away?\u201d quizzed the Foreman. He was dialing a number on his mobile, the police, in all likelihood. Sadly, he couldn\u2019t complete the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaster! Hostiles, incoming! Danger!\u201d warned K-9. We turned to the sky to see the Dalek fleet! We landed on the date the Daleks invaded Earth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll hail the Daleks!\u201d called one of those pepperpots as it shot one of the crew. The Daleks were firing everywhere on the screaming masses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTime to go, I think!\u201d yelped the Doctor. We turned to face a Dalek right behind us. Its eyestalk was a few centimeters from my face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll humans are to surren\u2026!\u201d it barked. The Dalek didn\u2019t complete its sentence as I whacked it off with a knife hand chop. \u201cMY VISION IS IMPAIRED! I CANNOT SEE!\u201d We got out of the way of the gunstick as the Dalek fired wildly. We retreated into the TARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaleks conquer and destroy!\u201d called another Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019d love to stay and reminisce,\u201d muttered the Doctor as we gathered around the controls, this time with Xiomara and myself being left out, \u201cbut, you know how it is. Things to do, planets to save.\u201d We took off and returned to Dalek controlled Central London in 2055. The tree we planted had indeed grown with branches long enough to get to the roof of the bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDrivers ready!\u201d I called. We got our i.d tags and struck our poses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin!\u201d we announced. After we donned our suits, we climbed up the tree and landed on the bus. Poor K-9 was almost left behind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI got him,\u201d called Arch. He swapped out his i.d tag for the Batman one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBatman Steel!\u201d announced the belt. He then fired the grapple gun onto the latch for K-9\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaster Arch, what aaaAAAUUGGH!\u201d yelled the tin dog. K-9 was brought up rapidly onto the bus\u2019s roof. He\u2019s one that claims he has no emotional programming but judging by how his tail was stiffer than usual, I\u2019d say Arch spooked the poor dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNext time, just let poor K-9 use his hover generators,\u201d moaned the Doctor as she reassured her dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIntruders detected!\u201d reported a Dalek. \u201cProtect the energy shield!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExterminate the Doctor!\u201d ordered a Black Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI obey!\u201d obliged a third. After dispatching those Daleks, we had managed to get a lift truck to get us up to where we could see the generator, but the only ledge was on the second floor instead of the top floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet\u2019s see, judging by the decay,\u201d said the Doctor as she licked fingers after touching it, \u201cI\u2019d say it was completed in 1867. We just need to go a couple of years before and move the ledge up.\u201d She then took out a whistle, blew into it, and the TARDIS appeared. \u201cAnd the TARDIS whistle works just fine!\u201d cheered the Doctor. We got back into the TARDIS and headed for 1865 Central London. This time, the Doctor decided to hang back with Claw. The landing was\u2026bumpy, to say the least. As we staggered out, we cancelled our transformations again. Our shoes crunched against newly fallen snow. \u201cHere we are,\u201d whispered the Doctor, \u201cVictorian London. The Gelth, Weng-Chiang, a giant dinosaur in the Thames, I\u2019ve got a tale or two to tell from my time here.\u201d She examined the snow. \u201cIt must be winter,\u201d she observed. \u201cStrange how quiet it is, and there\u2019s a sinister look to the snow.\u201d I then saw old friends of the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey! It\u2019s the Paternoster gang!\u201d I called. I approached the gates to try and introduce myself, but they shut on their own accord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCreepy old gates slamming shut of their own accord in the middle of the night,\u201d muttered the Doctor. \u201cNever a good sign.\u201d We headed to an old crane, but part of it was frozen in ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think I can handle this,\u201d called Hiroki. \u201cOr, rather, with Wyldstyle\u2019s help, I can. Henshin!\u201d After the Henshin sequence, he activated Wyldstyle Steel and built a large flame thrower. After that, we moved the ledge to the top floor where it was needed. We were about to get into the TARDIS when we saw a shaggy, brownish, bear-like creature spraying the TARDIS with some sort of aerosol that made ice on contact. The thing was bipedal, had fearsome claws, and when it turned, we saw yellow eyes and teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA Yeti!\u201d I exclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeti?\u201d asked Xiomara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat on Earth is the Great Intelligence up to now?\u201d moaned the Doctor. That\u2019s when the Yeti laughed. That surprised me, they usually roared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Great Intelligence?\u201d growled the Yeti. \u201cThat thing is nothing more than a Cosmic Annoyance. I\u2019m a Yeti of Vortech\u2019s design. The Mark IV Yeti, if you will.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat dolt\u2019s interfering here?\u201d I snapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe intends to control this universe,\u201d explained the Yeti. \u201cAfter seizing the Foundation Element of this universe, a Dalek gunstick, he figured the best thing to do would be to get rid of you, Doctor. And, with the avatar of the true Gaia Memory in our possession,\u201d Sengoku was surprised, \u201cah, I THOUGHT that remark would startle you, Kamen Rider Sengoku, the self-proclaimed Rider Encyclopedia. Yes, we have Philip. Sh\u014dtar\u014d followed after him, but we lost him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin!\u201d announced the rest of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCareful!\u201d warned Sengoku after we finished transforming. \u201cIf they have access to the true Gaia Memory, they may possess the power to make their own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd a Gaia Memory looks like\u2026?\u201d I ventured. The Yeti then grabbed a USB flash drive and pressed a button near the plug. It was brown like the Yeti\u2019s fur and had an illuminated Y on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYETI!\u201d announced the flash drive after the Yeti pressed the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a Gaia Memory,\u201d explained Sengoku. \u201cThey carry the memories and powers of certain things, like the wind, or metal, or Yetis, in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAmazing what one can build with Master Vortech\u2019s abilities,\u201d crowed the Yeti. He then pulled back a fur flap on his right arm and put the Gaia Memory in at a diagonal and then pushed it flush against his arm\u2019s internal mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYETI! MAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d announced the Gaia Memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeti Freezer,\u201d declared the Yeti as he got ready to swipe his claw. We raised our weapons to strike, but the Yeti swiped the air, making ice encase us. We froze on the spot. \u201cI am hardly the only one in this city\u2019s timeline with a Gaia Memory. Sengoku, you’ve probably heard of Kamen Rider Eternal. That Rider\u2019s been essential in making the two Gaia Memories my master has in his possession. Speaking of which, Lord Vortech wouldn\u2019t want you running around and ruining things, so I\u2019ll just deal with you now. With you lot gone, the Vortex Riders are that much weaker and the Time Lord will finally die. Say goodbye, Doctor and Company.\u201d He raised his claw to strike, but something interrupted him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSONTAR-HA!\u201d it roared. Something tackled the Yeti and knocked him to the ground while a pair of women got us out of the ice. Being of a colder body temperature than humans, the Doctor recovered more quickly than us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs everything quite all right?\u201d asked one of the women, wearing a black veil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cApart from being frozen, Madame,\u201d I shivered. \u201cI think we\u2019ll be okay. We\u2019re not feeling sluggish, at least. The Doctor, even less so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, you know the Doctor?\u201d asked the other woman. \u201cIs he still in there?\u201d She was pointing to the TARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo,\u201d corrected the Doctor, \u201cSHE\u2019S right here. Good to see you again, Madame Vastra, Jenny. I presume Strax is dealing with the Yeti?\u201d The person that tackled the Yeti was then flung off. He picked himself up and grabbed a large club. He had a potato shaped head, reached up to my solar plexus, had three fingers, and a crazed expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to enjoy eviscerating you, Sontaran!\u201d roared the Yeti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPrepare to meet complete and utter dismantling at the hands of a Sontaran Warrior!\u201d declared the creature, a Sontaran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStrax, return here at once and put that club down!\u201d commanded Madame Vastra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut, Madame!\u201d protested the Sontaran, Strax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow!\u201d ordered Vastra. Strax grudgingly put the club down and joined with Vastra and the other human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd the young woman with you is your wife, Ms. Jenny Flint, correct?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s\u2026right\u2026\u201d stammered Jenny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow that the Sontaran lap dog has returned to its master,\u201d growled the Yeti, \u201cthe TARDIS key! I can\u2019t have you returning to 2055!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think so!\u201d snarled the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJOKER!\u201d announced the voice of a Gaia Memory. We all looked around, Sengoku trying more feverishly to find the source of the voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin!\u201d called a voice behind us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJOKER!\u201d announced the mysterious Gaia Memory. A small orchestral hit played. We turned to see a Kamen Rider in black with purple trim, red eyes, rounded shoulder pads, and a long silver unibrow evoking the letter W. The belt he wore was red with a silver outer lining that held a black Gaia Memory with an illuminated J. The Memory Slot was tilted to look like an L resting on its point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider\u2026Joker!\u201d introduced the mysterious Rider as he flicked his left wrist to make a J with his thumb and pointer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYOU?!\u201d roared the Yeti. \u201cHow did you find me?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNothing escapes a Hard-Boiled detective, Dopant,\u201d declared Joker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHalf-boiled, you mean!\u201d argued the Yeti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not a Dopant, Sh\u014dtar\u014d-san,\u201d replied Sengoku. \u201cThat\u2019s a robot powered by a Gaia Memory with Kamen Rider Eternal\u2019s help and Philip\u2019s coercion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen, where\u2019s Philip?\u201d demanded Joker to the Yeti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike I\u2019d tell you!\u201d roared the Yeti. He pressed his Gaia Memory\u2019s button again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYETI!\u201d announced the Yeti Memory. He then put it in his neck and swung it down. \u201cYETI! MAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d Joker then took out his Gaia Memory and put it into a slot on his right leg. He then pressed a button on the slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d called the Joker Memory. Energy gathered around his foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRider Kick!\u201d announced Joker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYETI CRUNCHER!\u201d shouted the Yeti as energy flowed around his teeth. As the Yeti charged with an open mouth, Joker leapt at the Yeti and delivered a powerful kick, shattering the Yeti\u2019s teeth. \u201cMY TEETH!\u201d screamed the Yeti. The kick was still travelling as the ice around the TARDIS shattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd we\u2019ll be going back to 2055,\u201d cheered the Doctor. \u201cAll of us, Paternoster Gang and new Rider included.\u201d We got into the TARDIS and Joker started looking around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWelcome to the TARDIS,\u201d I introduced. \u201cYes, it\u2019s bigger on the inside and it can travel to any planet, any time. Now, please don\u2019t gawk. We\u2019re landing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCouldn\u2019t we take a breather?\u201d asked Joker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot likely, given that Daleks are surrounding the TARDIS,\u201d I answered, looking at the screen. Sengoku explained what Daleks were as we got ready to fight. \u201cEr, Ladies and Gentlemen,\u201d I gulped. \u201cThe Daleks have a hostage and have recovered the Yeti. They seem to be with a Kamen Rider.\u201d Joker looked into the screen when he heard me say \u201cKamen Rider\u201d. This Rider had a white suit with a black cape, blue gloves in the style of flames, yellow eyes, and three prongs like a crown. He had a belt like Joker, but the Gaia Memory was white and had an illuminated E. He was holding a knife at the throat of someone in what I would call a fashion disaster outfit. A red Dalek with prongs around its neck and three dome lights instead of two was at the head of the group. This was a Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, we know you are in there!\u201d boomed the Supreme. \u201cWe are willing to cease the attack if you surrender yourself to us in exchange for Philip!\u201d It was referring to the human the Kamen Rider was holding his knife to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCome now, Sh\u014dtar\u014d,\u201d declared the Rider, \u201csurely a hard-boiled detective could understand the reality of the situation. Surrender the Doctor and we\u2019ll stop attacking London.\u201d After confirming the mysterious Kamen Rider\u2019s identity, I pressed the external communicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEternal, surely you know about the Daleks,\u201d I replied. \u201cThey\u2019ll exterminate you on the spot once the Doctor steps out, as well as Philip.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur leader has ordered them and their master not to do so,\u201d called Kamen Rider Eternal. The Doctor took over negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2018Their master\u2019?\u201d she said. \u201cThat was the phrase you used? The Daleks answer to no one, not even their creator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGiven that I saw him shout orders at a couple of these tin cans,\u201d answered Eternal, \u201cI\u2019d say that claim is in dispute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDavros barked orders and the Daleks said that they obey?\u201d I muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSomething seems wrong here,\u201d mused Madame Vastra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPerhaps it\u2019s a Dalek duplicate,\u201d guessed Strax. The thought hadn\u2019t occurred to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhich one?\u201d I asked. Multiple possibilities ran through my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTheir hostage, most likely,\u201d figured Jenny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou have five seconds to obey!\u201d demanded the Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt could be a bluff,\u201d guessed the Doctor. \u201cIt could be that they may strongarm Sh\u014dtar\u014d or myself into obeying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFour!\u201d counted Eternal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen again, why would the Daleks need Philip?\u201d asked the Doctor. \u201cNow that they\u2019ve learned how to do so, they can make their own Gaia Memories without him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThree!\u201d counted the Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor!\u201d I yelped, guessing her endgame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTwo!\u201d counted Eternal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPower down,\u201d ordered the Doctor to all Riders. \u201cI think we\u2019d better do as they say.\u201d As we powered down, I noticed Sh\u014dtar\u014d\u2019s civilian form was dressed in film noir detective clothes, complete with fedora, er, trilby, er, whatever. We headed for the doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cONE!\u201d counted the Dalek Supreme. We stepped out when it said that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood afternoon!\u201d greeted the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, you\u2019re proving to be a thorn in our side,\u201d hissed Eternal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, no tea and chat?\u201d asked the Doctor. \u201cFor someone who claims to be Eternal, you\u2019re forgetting what makes eternity bearable. Tea, a good meal, a story, brilliant lights,\u201d she seemed to be shooing one of us off in secret. Xiomara then got an idea and got to the lift truck. \u201cYou see, you surround yourself and poor Philip with the ultimate racists. The ultimate terrified people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou imply that the Daleks know fear, Doctor,\u201d argued the Supreme. \u201cYou are incorrect!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, but you DO know fear,\u201d countered the Doctor. \u201cWhere else does your hatred stem from? You fear anything that isn\u2019t a \u2018pure\u2019 Dalek, the Dalek Civil War is a prime example. You would smash anything that Daleks didn\u2019t make because the materials didn\u2019t come from Skaro or any planet in your empire of ruin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve built an empire of purity!\u201d shouted the Dalek Supreme. \u201cThe Daleks on those planets do not have to deal with other races! It was Davros who said so! When all other life-forms are suppressed, when the Daleks become the supreme beings of the universe, then there is true peace! There is no war in our empire, Doctor! We succeeded where the Time Lords have failed! Yet, you still dare to oppose us!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, we do!\u201d declared the Doctor as Philip surreptitiously went over to our side and handed Sh\u014dtar\u014d a belt that looked like the driver he had mirrored itself, holding two Gaia Memories instead of one. \u201cWe dare to believe we can survive!\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cWe hold the future in our hands! We dare to keep all of our dreams alive! It\u2019s time we took a stand!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can win if you dare!\u201d I sang. Everyone turned to me in confusion. \u201cThe Doctor started it by quoting the Transformers<\/em> movie.\u201d While that went on, Philip showed Sh\u014dtar\u014d a green Gaia Memory with an illuminated C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat?!\u201d yelped the Doctor. \u201cNo! I\u2026okay, yes, but it was the good one!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor, you waste our time!\u201d bellowed the Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPast tense!\u201d jeered Xiomara. \u201cShe wasted your time!\u201d She was holding the remains of the shield generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEnergy shield losing power!\u201d reported a Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cProtect the final generator!\u201d ordered the Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTwo down, one to go!\u201d called the Doctor. \u201cIt appears that we still have work to do!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExterminate!\u201d screamed a Dalek as it fired. We dodged. We got ready to transform, Sh\u014dtar\u014d put the new belt on and one just like it appeared on Philip\u2019s waist. They pressed their Gaia Memory buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJOKER!\u201d announced the Joker Memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCYCLONE!\u201d called the green one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHenshin!\u201d we all shouted. Philip then put his Gaia Memory into the right slot of his belt. It transferred through data into Sh\u014dtar\u014d\u2019s belt as Philip fell asleep. Strax got him into the TARDIS as Sh\u014dtar\u014d put the Joker Memory into the left slot and tilted both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCYCLONE! JOKER!\u201d announced the belt. It started with a technical guitar to Joker\u2019s orchestral hit. The suit looked like Joker\u2019s but the was a silver band going down the middle with the right half green and sporting a silver cape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd Kamen Rider W (pronounced Double), the two-in-one Kamen Rider, is here!\u201d said Sengoku. W spoke in both Philip and Sh\u014dtar\u014d\u2019s voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSaa, omae no tsumi o kazoero!\u201d they taunted. We then charged the ranks of the Daleks. The Doctor set to work trying to find the final generator with K-9. It didn\u2019t take long to find it as Daleks came out of the wall near the house we altered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDestroy the TARDIS!\u201d ordered a Dalek. Good plan, won\u2019t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMore Daleks?\u201d gulped Sh\u014dtar\u014d\u2019s voice from W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStay alert!\u201d called Philip\u2019s voice from W. As Philip spoke, W\u2019s right eye flashed. We kept the Daleks off the Doctor\u2019s back while she and K-9 found an energy field guarding the path to the generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cK-9, if you please,\u201d requested the Doctor. K-9\u2019s blaster came out and shot the mechanism making the shield. \u201c\u2026I was expecting a little finesse, but I\u2019ll take it.\u201d K-9 drooped his head slightly. We then approached yard doors. On it was \u201cI.M. Foreman. Scrap Merchant. 76, Totter\u2019s Lane.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe scrap yard where it all started!\u201d I declared. \u201cWhizzing through time and space with Susan, Ian, and Barbara on the 22nd of November 1963!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe doors are locked,\u201d muttered the Doctor, concerning herself with the present situation. \u201cBack to 2015 it is!\u201d She summoned the TARDIS and we piled in; Philip still sound asleep. I turned to Sengoku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPhilip\u2019s soul entered the Cyclone Memory,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt\u2019s how W gets the powers of the wind. Philip\u2019s soul then entered Sh\u014dtar\u014d to act as strategist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd, their catchphrase?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018Saa, omae no tsumi o kazoero\u2019?\u201d quizzed Sengoku. \u201cIt means \u2018Now, count up your crimes\u2019. Sh\u014dtar\u014d\u2019s mentor, Kamen Rider Skull, was the first one to say that.\u201d The TARDIS then gave its landing noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHere we are!\u201d called the Doctor. She then fished something out of the toolkit. It turned out to be Missy\u2019s Laser Screwdriver!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI thought she abandoned that when she was the Prime Minister!\u201d I yelped. \u201cWhat are you doing, carrying that around?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSwiped it from him before he died on the Valiant<\/em>,\u201d explained the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe? Him?\u201d queried Seeker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMadame, Monsieur, who are you talking about?\u201d asked Arch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAn old acquaintance of the Doctor, with a higher degree in Cosmic Science while the Doctor barely scraped by with a 51% on the second attempt,\u201d I explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat is confidential!\u201d snapped the Doctor. \u201cBesides, I was a late developer! He underwent a sex change regeneration before me. She now calls herself Missy, but I still know her as the Master.\u201d We stepped out of the TARDIS. The Doctor headed to the chain over the yard\u2019s doors when we heard something familiar. \u201cThat\u2019s a TARDIS arriving,\u201d muttered the Doctor. \u201cThe new Type 90.\u201d This TARDIS took the shape of a pillar box, Britain\u2019s free-standing post box. The top opened to let a woman out. She was in the clothes of an early 20th century nanny, complete with a ridiculous hat. Her expression was not one I would personally expect on a nanny, this was cold and calculating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh dear,\u201d sighed the woman in a Scottish accent. \u201cDon\u2019t go away, Doctor!\u201d She had climbed out of her TARDIS and walked towards us. \u201cMy coordinates seemed to have slipped a tad,\u201d mused the woman. \u201cStill, not bad after a round trip to Gallifrey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSpeaking of the Master,\u201d I hissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMissy, if you must,\u201d corrected the woman. \u201cI do hope you can spare a moment of your time, Doctor, especially with Daleks on the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSarcasm always was a weak point, even with you,\u201d snarled the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMay I say,\u201d I interjected, \u201cthat that hat looks utterly ridiculous. I preferred the beard version of you. Anthony Ainley was a fantastic version of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI rather like this form,\u201d countered Missy. \u201cIt allows me to travel incognito.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaybe in the early 20th century,\u201d argued the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, Time Lords need a sense of style,\u201d said Missy softly, \u201csome of us, anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow look, if you\u2019re here to be rude…\u201d hissed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI came here to warn you,\u201d interrupted Missy, \u201can old Time Lord acquaintance of ours is involved with the Daleks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOld school chum?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, which is it? You? Rallon? Drax, Rassilon forbid?\u201d quizzed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI believe she was once called Ushas,\u201d recalled Missy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou mean the Rani?\u201d yelped the Doctor. \u201cShe\u2019s a jackanape like you, causing nothing but trouble!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe has something called the \u2018Eternal Memory\u2019 in her possession,\u201d reported Missy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou mean it\u2019s a woman as Kamen Rider Eternal?!\u201d exclaimed W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA Time Lady, no less,\u201d continued Missy. \u201cShe\u2019ll certainly try to kill you, Doctor. The High Council thought you should be made aware of her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow very kind,\u201d snarked the Doctor. Missy tensed up in irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou are an incorrigible meddler, Doctor!\u201d she hissed. \u201cStill, the Council believes your hearts are in the right places. Now, be careful, will you? The Rani\u2019s learned a new trick or two with the Eternal Memory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI refuse to be worried by someone as cold and typically Arcalian as the Rani!\u201d rebuffed the Doctor. \u201cShe\u2019s an unimaginative plodder, like yourself!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHer degree in neurochemistry was higher than my own in cosmic science, loath though I am to admit it,\u201d answered Missy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, well, she was put in a house that values study,\u201d conceded the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI do suppose you\u2019re right in her being unimaginative,\u201d continued Missy. \u201cShe stole my little \u2018surprise\u2019 from when I first came to Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExamine the chain around the doors,\u201d instructed Missy. As the Doctor moved to do so, she was stopped by Missy\u2019s umbrella. \u201cHowever, be careful.\u201d The Doctor pushed the umbrella aside. She then felt on the door around the chain and felt something off when her hand was at the seam of the door. She followed it all the way to the top and then felt around the chain in that area. I\u2019d say a special invisible string was being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA volatizer?\u201d guessed the Doctor. Missy nodded. \u201cOh, grief!\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cIf it should fall, it\u2019ll explode, taking the scrap yard, surrounding buildings, and people with it. She\u2019s most likely rigged it up so opening the door or cutting the chain will make it fall.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, I hope Missy has a witty way of dealing with it, since it was her original idea!\u201d I demanded. Missy had vanished. I heard her TARDIS going away. \u201cCOME BACK!\u201d I shouted. Too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGood luck!\u201d called Missy\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNever mind her,\u201d called the Doctor. \u201cI have a plan.\u201d She carefully pulled the string upwards, slowly, I might add, until we could see a black cylinder with a drum on top, the volatizer, I believe. \u201cAll right, someone fetch the magnetic clamp.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI got it,\u201d I responded as I went into the TARDIS. I grabbed the clamp and then headed outside to hand it to the Doctor. She used one end of the clamp to get a grip on the volatizer and get it over the doors without falling. At that point, a Dalek saucer flew overhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou will obey the Daleks!\u201d barked a Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve just about had enough,\u201d snarled Swing. She took the volatizer off the clamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU CRAZY VIKING?!\u201d I yelled. She turned to the ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is a Time Lord explosive!\u201d Swing shouted. \u201cI hope my clumsy human fingers don\u2019t do something clumsy!\u201d She then tossed it at the saucer! \u201cOops! You guys handle it!\u201d After the saucer exploded, she turned to me. \u201cWhat was that about me being a crazy Viking?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEr, nothing, just rambling!\u201d I said quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThought so,\u201d muttered Swing. While that went on, the Doctor, W, Sengoku, and Claw made a ramp from the scrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAlright, back to the TARDIS!\u201d called the Doctor when they were finished. We piled in and returned to 2055, hacking through Daleks who were confused about the ramp that mysteriously appeared. \u201cAll right, I should be able to get to the last generator from here,\u201d remarked the Doctor as she climbed the scrap. We stopped by a control panel before the Doctor said \u201cOh, blast!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?\u201d asked Claw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA Dalek and Eternal are guarding it,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cI can use this device to override the Dalek\u2019s controls system, but I need someone to take care of Eternal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe took care of Eternal once,\u201d called W. \u201cWe can do so again. This \u2018Rani\u2019 is inexperienced in terms of the Gaia Memories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGet to it, then!\u201d encouraged the Doctor. W took off as the Doctor started messing with the controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSYSTEM MALFUNCTION!\u201d yelped the Dalek. \u201cHELP ME!\u201d Eternal was confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLady, you\u2019re making a mistake, siding with evil\u201d called W. Eternal turned to see W pull out new Gaia Memories. One was red with an illuminated H and the other was silver with an illuminated M. He pressed the buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHEAT!\u201d announced the red one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMETAL!\u201d called the grey one. He then swapped out the Cyclone and Joker Memories for the new ones, Heat in the right slot and Metal in the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHEAT! METAL!\u201d announced the belt. A bit of rock music played followed by a metallic synth as the right side went red and the left side went silver. A long staff appeared with a red grip looking like a W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet\u2019s go, Time Lady!\u201d challenged W. Eternal cocked her head. \u201cWe had a run-in with an old acquaintance of the Doctor. Apparently, she was male once, and called herself the Master. Calls herself Missy nowadays.\u201d Eternal gripped her knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo,\u201d she hissed, \u201cthat jackanape decided to interfere! I don\u2019t when or HOW she regenerated since HE used up his and was in the habit of borrowing bodies!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet\u2019s just say,\u201d I replied, \u201ca certain war changed that. You, of all people, should be familiar with the Great Time War.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am, and I didn\u2019t participate,\u201d answered Eternal. \u201cThe last Dalek I fought was the cause of my first regeneration. I liked that body!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, the incidents with Loyhargil and sleep deprived humans were your favorites?\u201d I asked. That got her. She started throwing punches while W was dodging and swinging his staff. I jumped in with my sword and went on the attack. We traded blows for a while, but, W and I had to end it. W pulled the Metal Memory out and put it into the staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMETAL! MAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d announced the Memory. Fire started coming out of both ends of the staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMetal Branding!\u201d called W in both Sh\u014dtar\u014d and Philip\u2019s voices. I inserted my i.d tag into my sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFinal Attack!\u201d announced my weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRIDER BATTLE SLASH!\u201d I called as I swung my sword at a diagonal while W swung the staff and unleashed a torrent of flames. Eternal sparked before the belt she used spat out the Gaia Memory she was using. The suit disappeared to reveal a woman in ginger hair and goth clothes with a knee-length skirt and a lab coat. Her emerald eyes were burning into my soul as her black lipstick adorned lips parted in a snarl. She turned to the Dalek that the Doctor hacked into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt looks like my work is done anyways,\u201d hissed the Rani. \u201cSee you later.\u201d She stepped into a rusty boiler and closed the lid. Judging by the noise and its fading away, I figured out that it was the Rani\u2019s TARDIS. When it faded completely, the Dalek screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe coast is clear!\u201d called the Doctor. \u201cTime to shut down the energy shield and put an end to this!\u201d The Dalek then fired on the generator before exploding. We heard a noise like machinery winding down. \u201cAnd that\u2019s our cue!\u201d guessed the Doctor. We made our way back to where the shield was and found a dais with a control panel on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA Dalek Transmat!\u201d I breathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLast time I saw this model was during that whole mess with the Hand of Omega,\u201d mused the Doctor. She managed to get it working. We all got out of our suits and Philip came out of the TARDIS. \u201cShall we?\u201d invited the Doctor. We used the Transmat to beam ourselves upwards onto a Dalek ship. I just hope there aren\u2019t any Daleks where we beam into.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Go ahead, play the Doctor Who theme. Imagine your own intro sequence.
