After the titles play again, a brief replay of the scene where we transmat up to the ship will remind us what happened. Dalek Transmats are unpleasant feeling, let me tell you right now. After that unpleasant trip, we all got out to make sure there weren\u2019t any of those stupid pepperpots. We secured all the area needed. Madame Vastra, Strax, and I secured a northern corridor. Xiomara, Emmanuel, Hiroki, and Philip secured an eastern corridor. Jenny, Sh\u014dtar\u014d, K-9, and Tonje secured a western corridor, and Irina and Sheela secured a southern corridor. It was awkward silence time, even with the steady noise of the ship. I never knew what made that noise around Dalek facilities and ships. \u201cThat rhythm is starting to annoy me to no end!\u201d hissed Strax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSave it,\u201d I hissed back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSilence, girl!\u201d snarled the Sontaran. That\u2019s the disadvantage of being a clone race, like the Sontarans, you can\u2019t tell the difference between genders. Back to the awkward silence. The Doctor was at work with a console in the junction we were securing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo,\u201d I mused, \u201cjust making idle conversation here, I\u2019m a tad bored, Commander Strax, if we were enemies and you, of course, beat me in battle as a Sontaran soldier, what would you do?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell,\u201d answered Strax, \u201cgiven that you haven\u2019t made any attempts to make an enemy of me, I find that situation unlikely. However, in a strictly hypothetical situation, of course, I would most likely submit you to each of the processes on Field Major Styre\u2019s manual on human resistance to torture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStyre?\u201d I yelped, remembering the episode he starred and subsequently died in. \u201cI didn\u2019t realize he published.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPosthumously,\u201d Strax explained. Madame Vastra shook her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBrutes,\u201d she muttered. \u201cMichael, if you\u2019re so bored, maybe you should find out what the Doctor\u2019s doing?\u201d I saw the irritation in the Silurian\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2026see your point,\u201d I gulped. I headed over to the Doctor. I know, some men will call me a wimp. Tell me, would YOU argue with a lizard woman from the age of the dinosaurs you knew had eaten humans before? No? Didn\u2019t think so. I leaned over the Doctor\u2019s shoulder and cleared my throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTea time already, Strax?\u201d asked the Doctor, not even looking in my direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay, I\u2019m a lot taller than him, for one,\u201d I said, annoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, but you have the potential to be brutish as him,\u201d remarked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot true!\u201d I argued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, you\u2019ve had no wars?\u201d countered the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs ever, Doctor, the soul of tact!\u201d I replied. \u201cWhat are you doing, anyways?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust figuring things out, as usual,\u201d answered the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnything I can do?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot on this end, no,\u201d muttered the Doctor. \u201cI, on the other hand, just need to find the temporal origin of this ship\u2026ah, got you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou have answers?!\u201d I asked. \u201cWhere and when did this ship come from?!\u201d The Doctor didn\u2019t answer, she just pulled out a laser spanner and messed with the transmat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd then one more pick-up before I shut this off for good!\u201d she called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor?! Answers?!\u201d I asked. The Doctor said nothing as she and I shoved some plungers out of the way as they shimmered into view. Wait, plungers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnauthorized computer access detected!\u201d said the harsh, grating, metallic tones of the plunger\u2019s owner. The Daleks had bypassed the guard positions we had set up by transmatting in their own ship! We were quickly surrounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?!\u201d yelped the Doctor. \u201cI wasn\u2019t doing anything!\u201d The transmat started smoking. \u201cThat was like that when I got here!\u201d Xiomara and her group were herded aside to make way for someone I didn\u2019t want to see. The horribly scarred remains of a man glided their way past. The person used a black Dalek skirt with white sensor globes to move, had a black shirt with only his right arm to his name, a control panel in front of him, sunken in, fried shut eyes with a single blue orb in his forehead to see, a metal cage around his scalp, silver shoulder pads, and a back rest. His hand was robotic in origin, one he most likely built himself after someone shot it off. He cracked a blackened smile as he clapped his robot eye on the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou might have a new face, Doctor,\u201d he in a voice that had was aided by a cybernetic voice box, \u201cbut I see you are still the same old prattling fool!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDavros,\u201d hissed the Doctor. \u201cNot so much a bad penny as a mad penny.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, great, I meet the lunatic behind the existence of these dust bins,\u201d I groaned. \u201cI knew the Rani said you were involved, giving orders, but I didn\u2019t think it was as part of the invasion force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat have you done with the population of the Earth?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have\u2026given them new employment,\u201d answered Davros as he turned to the Daleks. A horrible thought struck the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Daleks!\u201d she gasped. \u201cThey\u2019re\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, Doctor,\u201d chuckled Davros. \u201cYour precious humans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNecros and Satellite Five!\u201d I called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, making Daleks from human genetic material is hardly a good idea,\u201d supplied the Doctor. \u201cFor a start, they may be driven mad by their own flesh and gain a concept of blasphemy. For another, it may spark another civil war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBlasphemy?\u201d asked a Dalek. \u201cI have no understanding of the word! It is not registered in my vocabulary bank!\u201d That made me arch an eyebrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy mistakes on Necros and the mistakes made by the Emperor on Satellite Five have been corrected,\u201d continued Davros. \u201cMany qualities needed for Daleks are buried in all manner of life. What better way to unleash those qualities than to make Daleks? Silurians are cold hearted, Humans are divisive, and Sontarans are war-like; most excellent qualities.\u201d He turned to the Daleks. \u201cConfine them to the holding cells!\u201d He glided away. \u201cWhilst I reformat a Dalek production line to accept a Time Lord body.\u201d The Daleks led us to our holding cells, even going so far as to put us in separate cells. That would tear Vastra and Jenny apart and the Daleks knew it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know, I know,\u201d sighed the Doctor as she came to her cell. \u201cI\u2019ll make myself at home, shall I?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEnter!\u201d barked one of the Daleks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy the way,\u201d snarked the Doctor as she did so, \u201cI\u2019d like a wakeup call at seven and two soft boiled eggs for breakfast.\u201d Laser fields activated over the openings. \u201cAnd plenty of butter on the soldiers!\u201d called the Doctor as the Daleks trundled away. Well, most of them, one took the bait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy would you need butter on soldiers like the Daleks?\u201d it asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, please tell me Davros didn\u2019t delete toast soldiers during your mutation!\u201d I wailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot mutation!\u201d argued the Dalek. \u201cPurification! And the soldiers of toast shall be exterminated!\u201d It trundled away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot before the Sontarans destroy them first!\u201d called Strax. I rolled my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaleks,\u201d sighed the Doctor. \u201cSo predictable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMadame,\u201d I called to Vastra, \u201cthere is such a thing as toast in your time, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is,\u201d interjected the Doctor before Vastra could get a word in, \u201cbut the electric toaster hadn\u2019t been invented yet.\u201d She fiddled with some wires and deactivated the energy shields of our cells. She then blew on her new TARDIS whistle with said vehicle appearing. \u201cAnd now that we know when and where this ship came from,\u201d continued the Doctor, \u201cwe can stop this travesty before it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou may know, but WE don\u2019t!\u201d called Philip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ll tell you on the way,\u201d promised the Doctor as she opened the TARDIS. \u201cDo cultivate a sense of urgency.\u201d We entered the TARDIS and got to the controls. Philip, Sh\u014dtar\u014d, Jenny, Vastra, myself, Hiroki, and Irina hung back while the rest worked the controls. Strax was clearly enjoying helping pilot the TARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, it is a privilege to pilot this magnificent device with you to go to battle against an enemy such as the Daleks!\u201d cheered the Sontaran nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, if things go well,\u201d muttered the Doctor, \u201cwe should be arriving at their ancestral seat any second now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAncestral\u2026\u201d I began, then an unanswered question was answered. \u201cSKARO?! We\u2019re going to the Dalek home world?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf things go right,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cAnd so far, nothing can go wro\u2026\u201d she didn\u2019t get to complete that sentence as the TARDIS shook violently. \u201cI NEED TO STOP SAYING THAT!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWHAT\u2019S GOING ON?!\u201d yelled Irina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTIME SCOOP!\u201d shouted the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot the Death Zone!\u201d I wailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo!\u201d answered the Doctor. \u201cSomewhere else!\u201d We landed roughly. The scanner wasn\u2019t working. \u201cDrat,\u201d hissed the Doctor. \u201cWe\u2019ll have to poke around.\u201d We stepped outside onto\u2026what\u2026? \u201cIt can\u2019t be!\u201d breathed the Doctor. \u201cThis isn\u2019t possible!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe landed in the one place the Doctor shouldn\u2019t have gone to, Trenzalore!\u201d I whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d asked Sheela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSee that giant version of the TARDIS\u2019s exterior?\u201d explained the Doctor. There it stood, taller than Burj Khalifa. \u201cWell, that is the TARDIS, but in the future. The interior dimensions are bleeding into the exterior in this time. Inside there is the late Doctor, may I rest in peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s your tomb?!\u201d gulped Tonje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, and I shouldn\u2019t be here,\u201d answered the Doctor. She saw a ledge. \u201cThis way,\u201d she directed. We climbed the ledge. \u201cSomething tells me the answer to all this lies ahead inside the TARDIS.\u201d As we traveled, we saw some Weeping angels, but they seemed scared, as if they were running from the Doctor\u2019s tomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSomething doesn\u2019t add up,\u201d I muttered. \u201cTrenzalore\u2019s future was altered when the Time Lords gave you a new regeneration cycle. Why is this still here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t see that far ahead in my time stream,\u201d answered the Doctor. That was when we heard footsteps. We turned to find ourselves surrounded by beasts. They were stocky humanoids, had the snout of a boar, four eyes, one on each side of the head, starting from the face, two sets of large ears, one over the other, clawed hands, and vestigial wing flaps around the arms. They had sharp teeth in a snarl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTetraps?!\u201d I yelped. \u201cHow did the Rani con these people again?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI see you haven\u2019t looked closely at these Tetraps,\u201d called a voice. The Rani stepped from behind the rocks in front of the Tetraps. \u201cI had traveled to Mondas to get the schematics for the earliest Cybermen and applied them to these Tetraps.\u201d I looked closer to see some shiny parts under the fur. \u201cBeautiful slaves, aren\u2019t they?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou say that as if you expect a round of applause,\u201d hissed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHave a care, Doctor,\u201d warned the Rani, \u201cyou are not here to play the clown!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWas it you that used the Time Scoop that brought us here?\u201d asked Sheela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd it is here that I shall make my greatest experiment,\u201d answered the Rani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, I apologize for the inconvenience,\u201d quipped the Doctor, \u201cnot to mention my curiosity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat do you want to know?\u201d asked the Rani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat you\u2019re doing in my future gravesite for a start,\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI simply needed a good site for my newest experiment,\u201d remarked the Rani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWould this experiment have anything to do with me?\u201d asked Philip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt DID require you,\u201d said the Rani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDid?\u201d quizzed Sh\u014dtar\u014d. \u201cWhat made you stop using Philip?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI gathered the necessary data from the Daleks,\u201d explained the Rani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen, why are you making Gaia Memories?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy own needs,\u201d finished the Rani. I was starting to get a little peeved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know as I like the cryptic remarks you\u2019re giving here,\u201d I snarled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFine, I\u2019ll explain,\u201d sighed the Rani as she opened a gate. \u201cGaia Memories hold more than the powers and memories of things; they also hold the experiences of different species.\u201d She held up a bluish-green Gaia Memory with an illuminated H. She then pressed the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHUMAN!\u201d announced the Memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs that why you fought us?\u201d asked Emmanuel. \u201cTo gather data?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot exactly,\u201d answered the Rani. \u201cI came to gather a species\u2019 time stream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t follow,\u201d admitted the Doctor. The Rani pulled out a white Gaia Memory with nothing on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a blank Gaia Memory,\u201d lectured the Rani. \u201cWhen I install it into my TARDIS, I can read the memories of any species of my choosing. The only limit, however, is the Time Lords. For some odd reason, I can\u2019t just plug this into my TARDIS and read my own species time line. My theory is that because we\u2019re not supposed to know our futures, that limit carried over. So, I did something no TARDIS ever did, and went to Gallifrey\u2019s future, where we\u2019re nothing more than time streams littering our planet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re insane! Gallifrey\u2019s time locked! No one\u2019s ever done that!\u201d shouted the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, I did,\u201d argued the Rani. \u201cNow, of course, I\u2019m familiar with the laws of time, so I told no one when I came back. It\u2019s going to happen eventually, so why resist it? Before I came back, I stuck this blank Gaia Memory into the time streams of every Time Lord that will go extinct on Gallifrey. After that tedious trial, I discovered that not all Time Lords will die there. So, I travelled to other Time Lord\u2019s tombs throughout the universe, even my own. The last one I visited was the Master\u2019s tomb.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoes that Time Lord die as male or female?\u201d I asked. \u201cJust curious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpoilers,\u201d interjected the Doctor, bringing up the memory of her wife, River Song. \u201cIn any event, you\u2019ve proven your power to make Gaia Memories, but I can\u2019t help there\u2019s something a great deal more to visiting tombs and breaking the laws of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReally now?\u201d asked the Rani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat are you doing making Gaia Memories like Davros with his Daleks?\u201d asked the Doctor. \u201cAnd what do you intend to do with them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTarsek, get over here!\u201d barked the Rani. A Cyber-Tetrap lumbered forward and pulled out some equipment. \u201cSo far, I have 25 Gaia Memories, bar the Time Lord one. With this and the Zone Gaia Memory, I will initiate the Never-Ending Hell Maximum Drive with the Gaia Memories I created.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Zone Gaia Memory?!\u201d yelped Philip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou plan to conquer this universe?\u201d called Sh\u014dtar\u014d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHardly,\u201d scoffed the Rani. \u201cUsing the Maximum Drive, I intend to slice through the Time Vortex, undoing it and making it nothing more than a mass of energy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA dimensional manipulator!\u201d realized the Doctor. \u201cYou intend to turn our universe into a dimensional manipulator!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile you escape in your TARDIS!\u201d I snarled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI shall be back, once the turbulence has subsided,\u201d answered the Rani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut how will that work out for you in the long run?\u201d asked Sheela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause I intend to make my own universe,\u201d replied the Rani. \u201cThat\u2019s why I used the time scoop, to get to your tomb, Doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know of my habit of having companions,\u201d quizzed the Doctor. \u201cWhy are these people involved?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWorkers are required in my new universe,\u201d answered the Rani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou have the Cyber-Tetraps,\u201d I pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd Vortech can give you minions,\u201d continued Xiomara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Cyber-Tetraps are needed for my military police,\u201d dismissed the Rani, \u201cand Vortech had his usefulness fulfilled.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI see,\u201d realized the Doctor. \u201cTurning this universe into a dimensional manipulator will make the Foundation Element lose power, forever frustrating Vortech\u2019s plans. This whole thing was a means to an end for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow that you understand the experiment,\u201d declared the Rani, \u201cI need access to your tomb.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think so!\u201d snarled the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDrivers ready!\u201d I called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJOKER! CYCLONE!\u201d announced Philip and Shotaro\u2019s respective Gaia Memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin!\u201d we called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCYCLONE! JOKER!\u201d shouted the W Driver All riders were in their suits with Phillip safely out of harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m hardly scared,\u201d taunted the Rani as she pulled out her belt and strapped it on. She then pulled out the Eternal Memory and pressed the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cETERNAL!\u201d it called. She then put it into the Memory slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin,\u201d she announced and tilted the Memory slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cETERNAL!\u201d repeated the Memory. Her suit formed and Kamen Rider Eternal stood there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe keep the Rani out of the Doctor\u2019s tomb at all costs!\u201d I commanded. The Doctor managed to get in to reinforce her\u2026er\u2026casket if you will. With the Cyber-Tetraps pushing us back, Eternal strode towards the tomb. W did a last-ditch maneuver by pulling out the Joker Memory and putting it in the Maximum Drive slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d announced the Memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJoker Extreme!\u201d called W in both Sh\u014dtar\u014d and Phillip\u2019s voice. W then leapt into the air and extended both of his feet. He then split in half! First the Joker half struck her, then the Cyclone half. The two halves reunited, thank goodness, and I prepared my attack. I inserted my i.d tag into my blade and converted it to rifle mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFinal attack!\u201d yelled my weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER BATTLE BLAST!\u201d I shouted. The shot hit the ground, ending in a large explosion. I chuckled. \u201cNo way is she getting up from that,\u201d I boasted. The smoke cleared. The Cyber-Tetraps were lying dead, but Eternal still stood. She charged after the Doctor! \u201cSTOP HER!\u201d I yelled. She entered the tomb! I got in to see Eternal toss the Doctor aside and smash the console open. The rest had caught up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat is that?!\u201d called Sengoku as he pointed to a mass of blinding white light in the shape of many strings huddled together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the Doctor\u2019s time stream,\u201d I explained. \u201cAll Time Lords break down to become their time streams. Leaving bodies behind is pass\u00e9 to them.\u201d Eternal then jabbed the incomplete Gaia Memory into the Doctor\u2019s time stream. She then pressed the button, causing the Doctor to clutch her head in pain. Eternal then extracted the Gaia Memory as it changed colors. It was as red as the planet Gallifrey and had an illuminated T. Eternal did a test and pressed the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTIME LORD!\u201d announced the Memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFinally!\u201d giggled Eternal. \u201cNow I can begin!\u201d She fled to the top of the tomb and pulled out another Gaia Memory. It had an illuminated Z on it. She pressed the button and put it in one of her Maximum Drive slots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cZONE! MAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d called the Gaia Memory. That was when other Gaia Memories flew into the other Maximum Drive slots and went from A to Z.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAUTON! BORAD! CYBERMAN! DALEK! ETERNAL! FENDAHL! GRASKE! HUMAN! ISOLUS! JAGRAFESS! KRYNOID! LAKERTYAN! MALMOOTH! NOTHING! OMNIPOTENCE! PLASMAVORE! QUEEN! REAPER! SONTARAN! TIME LORD! USURIAN! VOGON! WEEPING ANGEL! YETI! ZONE! MAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d announced the Gaia Memories. Eternal then drew her knife as power flowed through her. We made it outside and saw her prepare her blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is it!\u201d called Eternal. \u201cNEVER-ENDING\u2026!\u201d She didn\u2019t complete her sentence as something knocked the knife out of her hand. The object then flew over Philip\u2019s body and converted him into data, sucking him up into itself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be alarmed!\u201d assured Sengoku. \u201cWe\u2019re about to see W use the Xtreme Memory!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe what?!\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA bird-like Gaia Memory directly connected to the True Gaia Memory!\u201d explained Sengoku. W then closed his belt, allowing a rather bulky, metallic bird to slide over the Cyclone and Joker Memories. The middle band started glowing as the belt opened again with the bird split in half, revealing a small turbine with an illuminated X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cXTREME!\u201d announced the belt. A small whirring noise, like a fan belt, was heard, followed by a small piece of epic orchestra. W then started pulling on the silver band dividing him and pulled it apart to reveal a white, crystalline middle section. The unibrow disappeared and in its place were X protrusions on each side of the head. He gained a set of shoulder pauldrons in the shape of sideways W\u2019s. A sword and shield then appeared in his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat in the\u2026?\u201d yelled Eternal. W then grabbed the Heat, Joker, and Cyclone Memories, and two new ones, one was yellow with an illuminated L, the other was green with an illuminated P. He then put the Cyclone, Heat, yellow, and Joker Memories into the shield, then put the green one into the sword hilt. The weapon then spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCYCLONE! MAXIMUM DRIVE! HEAT! MAXIMUM DRIVE! LUNA! MAXIMUM DRIVE! JOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE! PRISM! MAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d announced the weapon. If I were to go on the letters, I\u2019d say Luna was the yellow Memory and Prism was the green one. W then drew the sword out with colors flowing around it. He tossed the shield in the air and jumped, landing on the spinning shield and flying towards Eternal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBICKER CHARGE BREAK!\u201d called W in both voices. When he reached Eternal, W swung the sword at her, the energy causing a lot of her Gaia Memories to shatter. The only ones that survived were Yeti, Dalek, and Eternal. Speaking of, Kamen Rider Eternal couldn\u2019t handle the exploding Gaia Memories and keep her balance near the edge of the tomb\u2019s roof, and so she fell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSaa, jigoku o tanoshimu!\u201d called Sengoku. Eternal\u2019s suit had disappeared, revealing the Rani as she started glowing yellow. \u201cWhat the?!\u201d gulped Sengoku as we cancelled our transformations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTime Lords have a way of cheating death,\u201d explained the Doctor. \u201cWhenever an old body gets frail or is too badly damaged, our DNA rewrites itself and our cells rearrange themselves to make a new body. The side effect is that our personalities can change as well.\u201d The Rani stood up to glare at us, then she stumbled to a small mausoleum. She fumbled for a key, leading me to believe the mausoleum was the Rani\u2019s TARDIS. Before she put the key in the lock, her regenerative energy exploded as her face and body morphed. She grew a few inches, her chin and nose were pointed, her hair pulled back to reach her shoulders in a 50\u2019s bob and it darkened to brown. The light died so we could see her pale skin and emerald eyes, piercing into our soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI only had that body for fifty years!\u201d she snarled in an Irish accent. \u201cDo you have any notion what you\u2019ve done?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStopped you from making a dimensional manipulator out of this universe?\u201d asked the Doctor with a smirk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSarcasm will get you nowhere, Doctor!\u201d snarled the new Rani. She scuttled into her TARDIS and fled Trenzalore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know,\u201d mused the Doctor, \u201cfor once, I agree with the Rani. How about we leave this beastly place?\u201d We were all in agreement. We still had to get to Skaro to stop the Dalek invasion. The Doctor piloted the TARDIS herself this time, muttering something about humans making the TARDIS jumpy, so I got a translation from what Hiroki said after the Rani fell. \u201cSaa, jigoku o tanoshimu,\u201d means \u201cNow, enjoy Hell,\u201d a perversion on W\u2019s catchphrase. The TARDIS landed in an observation tower on a planet with sand everywhere, red skies, and no plant life to speak of. The buildings were metallic in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, we\u2019ve made it?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaleks conquer and destroy!\u201d screeched a voice I\u2019m familiar with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSkaro,\u201d replied the Doctor, \u201chome of the Daleks. It looks like they\u2019ve been busy too. Last time I was here, this place was in ruins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter the sewers revolted?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou mean the sewers of Skaro are revolting?\u201d asked Emmanuel, trying to understand the grammar I used. I shook my head, confusing the poor man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Dalek word for sewer is the same as the word for graveyard,\u201d I explained. \u201cThe creatures inside the tanks are genetically hardwired to live, no matter the condition. But, even they\u2019re not immune to aging. Overtime, the creature breaks down, rots, decays, liquefies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd so, the still fresh Daleks rip the old ones out of their casings and drop them into a sewer?\u201d guessed Xiomara. She shuddered when I nodded. \u201cRemind me never to consult them for retirement plans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe need to get down,\u201d I observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight!\u201d called the Doctor. She grabbed a Dalek arm from a broken casing. \u201cThis Dalek manipulator arm should be compatible with that control switch.\u201d K-9 moved to speak. \u201cNo, it\u2019s not a plunger, before you ask!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaster!\u201d warned K-9. \u201cDaleks are patrolling on the ground below us!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd watchtowers are scanning for intruders,\u201d I continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStealth is key, then,\u201d remarked the Doctor. We managed to slip past the watch tower and found ourselves at the edge of a green river. There were stepping stones across the way. \u201cWatch your step,\u201d warned the Doctor as she tested one out. \u201cI don\u2019t fancy taking a dip in a pool of toxic Dalek waste.\u201d As we crossed the river of radiation, we noticed a control panel that was allowing toxic waste to fall across our path. \u201cStep aside,\u201d called the Doctor. She found the pipe flow controls and redirected the waste into a gaggle of Daleks down below, allowing us passage. \u201cA simple case of reversing the polarity,\u201d chuckled the Doctor. \u201cEven a pudding brain could\u2019ve handled that.\u201d We noticed that the path had laser walls that switched on and off at different intervals, so we timed our way through the walls. We made our way to the lift, but a black Dalek was guarding it. We stayed out of sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf only we could bluff Daleks,\u201d I muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat about the old hacking method?\u201d asked the Doctor as she got to work on a control panel. The Dalek then started spinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDIZZY! DIZZY!\u201d it yelled. It then exploded, clearing the way for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGoing up!\u201d called Irina. We climbed onto the lift and went up. On the roof of the building was a machine that had a Dalek skirt with a big globe on top. There were no weapons to speak of and a grey hexagonal eye in the center. The globe opened to reveal Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWelcome to my new empire, Doctor,\u201d he announced. \u201cIt is fitting that you should be the first to fall to the power of the Daleks!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDrivers ready!\u201d I called. Sh\u014dtar\u014d and Philip brought out their Gaia Memories. Philip then went a safe distance away from any Daleks that will inevitably surround us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJOKER! CYCLONE!\u201d said the two Gaia Memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin!\u201d we all called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCYCLONE! JOKER!\u201d announced the W Driver<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Sengoku!\u201d began Sengoku, \u201cYou shall get a taste of Feudal Japan!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Climb! Mountains are a warrior\u2019s best friend!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Claw! My weapons shall turn you into ribbons!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKamen Rider Arch! My skills outdo Robin Hood!\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 Swing! I\u2019ll be taking your legs!\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 W! Saa, omae no tsumi o kazoero!\u201d The Doctor had a bit of trouble coming up with a catchphrase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEr\u2026I am the Doctor, the healer of time and space!\u201d \u2026Awkward silence. \u201cEr, anyways, nice to see you again, Davros. Surely, you must be running out of escape pods by now?\u201d That was when a TARDIS materialized in the shape of some Dalek equipment. The Rani stepped out in a new outfit, simple pants, a simple shirt, and a lab coat. She brought the Daleks with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGET THEM!\u201d she roared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll hail Davros!\u201d called a Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got something up my sleeves, but I need cover!\u201d yelped the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEveryone, we protect the Doctor at all costs!\u201d I declared. We started fighting the Daleks before the Rani joined the fray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cETERNAL!\u201d announced her Gaia Memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin!\u201d she called as she put the Memory into her belt and activated it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cETERNAL!\u201d said the Memory as her suit formed. She drew her knife and attacked me! I kept blocking with my sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCome now, ma\u2019am,\u201d I taunted. \u201cSurely you don\u2019t want your childhood destroyed!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIrrelevant!\u201d replied Eternal. \u201cYou ruined the greatest experiment ever!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou were going to turn your universe into a dimensional manipulator!\u201d I argued. \u201cYou would take the Doctor\u2019s place as the last of the Time Lords! That was Hell, even for a wanderer like the Doctor!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnlike the Doctor, I could have lived with it!\u201d hissed Eternal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cForgive me if I\u2019m skeptic!\u201d I replied. Davros continued monologuing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter all this time,\u201d called the lunatic, \u201cfinally, my Daleks will take their rightful place!\u201d The Doctor made a pylon powering Davros\u2019 throne explode, making him jolt. \u201cYou will not be so fortunate next time!\u201d promised Davros. \u201cAttack them, my Daleks!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re trying to do so!\u201d taunted Strax. \u201cLet me say, they\u2019re hardly the best examples of warriors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou say that as if this is war!\u201d laughed Seeker. \u201cSe\u00f1or Strax, this isn\u2019t war, this is sport!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course, the conquistador would say that!\u201d I joked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ll get you later for that, Michael!\u201d said Seeker hotly, as she converted her blade into rifle mode. She then put her i.d tag into the rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo not anger me!\u201d warned Davros. \u201cYou are a pathetic insect against my Dalek creations!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFinal attack!\u201d announced Seeker\u2019s weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER SEEKER BLAST!\u201d called Seeker. She then shot another pylon, making Davros quiver again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStop that!\u201d he roared. Eternal put her Gaia Memory into the knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI should have done this when I fought W,\u201d she muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cETERNAL! MAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d announced the Memory. W started going into spasms as he went grey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEternal Requiem,\u201d called Eternal as she brought the blade down on W. The Gaia Memories flew out and W\u2019s transformation was cancelled. Philip woke up and got Sh\u014dtar\u014d out of danger. That was when a pale gray, mechanical velociraptor jumped into Philip\u2019s hands. Sh\u014dtar\u014d smirked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReckless, as always, I see,\u201d he mused as he pressed the button on the Joker Memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJOKER!\u201d called the Memory. Philip did some fancy folding on the raptor to reveal that the tail held a Gaia Memory with an illuminated F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFANG!\u201d announced the Memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin!\u201d called the two men. This time, Sh\u014dtar\u014d put the Joker Memory in first and passed out. It appeared in the left-hand slot of Philip\u2019s belt as he put the Fang Memory into the right-hand slot and tilted it. The rest of the Fang Memory became a raptor head with a horn on the snout as the W Driver opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFANG! JOKER!\u201d announced the Driver. The suit was a little different to say the least. It was white on the right half with the Joker colors on the left. It was a little spikier than the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTime to go for the finisher!\u201d snarled W. He pressed the horn three times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFANG! MAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d announced the W Driver<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFang Streiser!\u201d called W as he performed a flying roundhouse kick, which projected the head of the Fang Memory biting down on Eternal and the pylon she was in front of. The Eternal Memory flew out of the belt before shattering completely, cancelling the Rani\u2019s transformation. The pylon blew up, making Davros jolt again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA foolish error on your behalf!\u201d boasted Davros. \u201cDaleks, EXTERMINATE!\u201d The Daleks fired. \u201cThis will be my ultimate victory!\u201d ranted their creator. \u201cYou cannot stop it!\u201d He then noticed something. \u201cWait, where\u2019s the Doctor?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, don\u2019t mind me!\u201d called the Doctor. She was fiddling with a control panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNO!\u201d shouted Davros. \u201cYOU HAVE CONFOUNDED ME FOR THE LAST TIME!! I WILL DESTROY YOU AND THE MISERABLE, INSIGNIFICANT PLANET THAT IS EARTH!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think you said that a while ago,\u201d I observed. We kept the Daleks busy. \u201cDoctor, what are you up to?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA little messing around,\u201d explained the Doctor. An image of her face popped up on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat are you doing?!\u201d shouted Davros. \u201cCEASE AT ONCE!! THE DALEKS ARE MEANT TO OBEY ME! THEY! WILL! OBEY! ME!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor future reference,\u201d called the Doctor as she finished, the image on the screen changing to that of Davros, \u201cit\u2019s a really bad idea to route all your targeting software through a single computer node!\u201d The Daleks then started shaking as if they were resisting movements but couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWeapons targeting is being overridden!\u201d reported a Dalek. \u201cI cannot control! I cannot control!\u201d The Daleks started haphazardly firing on Davros and the Rani!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh no, I\u2019m not wasting this regeneration!\u201d yelped the Rani. She scuttled into her TARDIS and fled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo! Stop! I AM YOUR CREATOR!\u201d shouted Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe cannot override the Doctor\u2019s commands!\u201d screamed a Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCURSE YOU, DOCTOR!\u201d shouted Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the first time he ever said that specific phrase,\u201d I observed. There was a massive explosion in the sky as Davros started going up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd that\u2019ll be your fleet exploding, Davros,\u201d revealed the Doctor. We turned on our heels, after the Doctor blew on her TARDIS whistle. \u201cI hope you\u2019re well insured. See you next time, Davros.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDALEK!\u201d announced a Gaia Memory voice. As the TARDIS reappeared, we turned to see Davros put a Gaia Memory into a Dalek gun from his chair. \u201cDALEK! MAXIMUM DRIVE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDALEK EXTERMINATION!\u201d roared Davros. A single blue bolt of light flew towards us. We got out of the way\u2026well\u2026all but Kamen Rider Climb. She was hit by the blast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIRINA!\u201d I shouted. The rest is a blur, your Highness, but we put her in stasis for the trip here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
