He and his Stormtroopers saw the exterior of the DARDIS. \u201c\u2026They\u2019re in there,\u201d said Vader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSir, I don\u2019t see an entrance,\u201d replied a Stormtrooper. That was when the fa\u00e7ade of the DARDIS swung towards the main ship. The Doctor and her group exited the craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe surrender,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026They insult us by sending mere droids,\u201d hissed Vader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Bit quick on the uptake,\u201d remarked the Doctor\u2019s duplicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDestroy them!\u201d ordered Vader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can try!\u201d cackled Davros\u2019 duplicate. The Stormtroopers opened fire and hit them\u2026but they didn\u2019t fall!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat in-?!\u201d spluttered a Stormtrooper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMetalert endoskeletons, baby!\u201d laughed Amy\u2019s duplicate. \u201cResistant to all forms of heat!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMeaning your lightsaber is probably going to be useless,\u201d remarked the Doctor\u2019s duplicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026How comparable is it to Beskar?\u201d asked Vader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026I have a distinct feeling that here and now is NOT a good time to test that,\u201d remarked the Doctor\u2019s duplicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen I would advise you call them out here,\u201d warned Vader. Lurra Rus\u2019 duplicate gulped, then she poked her head into the DARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s seen through it,\u201d she called. The REAL Doctor and her friends then came out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have them,\u201d said Davros as he held a gun to them. His duplicate grinned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll according to plan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI trust your Emperor has briefed you?\u201d Davros asked Vader and his men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBriefed us on what?\u201d asked a Stormtrooper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026You mean you don\u2019t know?\u201d asked Davros. \u201cI pretend to go along with their escape plan\u2026then\u2026I shoot you!\u201d He fired and the gun worked like a Dalek gunstick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDAVROS!\u201d protested the Doctor and her duplicate as his targets fell like sacks of potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou may have dealt with my men, Davros,\u201d remarked Vader. He then raised his lightsaber, \u201cbut I am another matter entirely.\u201d That\u2019s when Davros removed the barrel of the gun and the power pack, then attached the power pack to the barrel, then\u2026pressed a button that ignited a crimson lightsaber! Davros blocked, then Force-pushed Vader into the hall. As Vader moved to pick himself up, Davros fired lightning from his fingertips, electrocuting Vader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou and your Emperor are old, Vader!\u201d cackled the last of the Kaleds. \u201cYour reflexes are gone! Did you think I wouldn\u2019t use Project Necromancer for my own ends?! Those reports I made as Yarvelling were but simple lures! A focal point for the assassin\u2019s bullet!\u201d At that point, the duplicates of the Doctor, Amy, and Lurra Rus grabbed Davros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, you fix Vader up!\u201d said the Doctor\u2019s duplicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGET HER AWAY FROM HIM!\u201d Davros ordered his duplicate. The duplicate launched himself at the Doctor, but the real Amy and Lurra Rus grabbed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou either stop moving or I find the nearest liquid nitrogen container and douse you in the stuff!\u201d warned Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou wouldn\u2019t dare!\u201d threatened Davros\u2019 duplicate. As the struggles continued, the Doctor patched up Vader\u2019s cybernetic controls. Vader\u2019s breathing went back to normal shortly, then Vader sprang from the floor, igniting his lightsaber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOFF! NOW!\u201d shouted the Doctor. Vader used the Force to rip the duplicates apart, then focused on dueling Davros. The Doctor, Amy, and Lurra Rus stumbled as the ferocity of the duel was palpable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, shouldn\u2019t we-?!\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne minute!\u201d replied the Doctor as she worked on a computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat are you doing?!\u201d protested Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got to delete all the notes Davros left on Project Necromancer!\u201d explained the Doctor. She then heard a gasp. She whirled around to see Davros stabbed through the heart. \u201c\u2026Well, if you WILL fight Vader\u2026\u201d she muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, he\u2019s-!\u201d yelped Amy. Then\u2026she saw it. \u201c\u2026Hang on\u2026he\u2019s glowing like Rassilon!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat?!\u201d The Doctor whirled around to see that Davros WAS regenerating. \u201cThat can\u2019t be right! He only stole enough of my energy for ONE regeneration!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cD-Damn you, Doctor!\u201d coughed Davros. Vader stepped back as golden light surrounded Davros. The process took a bit\u2026then it ended with Davros\u2019 face remaining the same. Davros reached out with his hand to try and choke Vader, but\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026It seems your little healing trick burned out your altered M-count,\u201d remarked Vader. \u201cYou\u2019re no longer Force-sensitive!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBlast!\u201d snarled Davros. He then converted his lightsaber to gun mode and fired. Vader blocked with his hand and Davros got away, running back into the DARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the DARDIS, Davros set the controls, grumbling all the while. \u201cOf all the times to regenerate!\u201d He checked the computers, then sighed. \u201cMy notes are still intact. Good. \u2026A pity Dr. Hemlock won\u2019t be using them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>As Davros escaped, the Doctor took Amy and Lurra Rus down the corridors, dodging blaster fire. They rounded a corner and saw a welcome sight to Amy and the Doctor. \u201cOh good! The old girl\u2019s still intact!\u201d said the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, what about Davros\u2019 notes on-?!\u201d asked Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI deleted most of them,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cCome on! Inside, both of you!\u201d She opened the TARDIS doors and shooed the two inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSTOP THAT BOX! BLAST THEM!\u201d ordered a Stormtrooper. The TARDIS doors closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the TARDIS, the Doctor worked the console. The TARDIS made its usual take-off noise. \u201c\u2026Just like the-!\u201d breathed Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, not like the DARDIS,\u201d corrected Amy. \u201cThis\u2026is the TARDIS! The most powerful time\/space machine ever made!\u201d The TARDIS then made an arrival thud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere we are! Safe!\u201d said the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhere and when?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSame galaxy,\u201d replied the Doctor, \u201cjust as the Battle of Yavin is about to end.\u201d The Doctor pointed to the doors. Amy looked at Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026You want me to step out there?\u201d asked the Twi\u2019lek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTrust me,\u201d assured Amy, \u201cyou may like it.\u201d Lurra Rus shrugged and opened the doors. She blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026That\u2019s the Massassi temple,\u201d said Lurra Rus. \u201cI\u2019m\u2026on Yavin IV?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn Yavin IV, 18 years into your future,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cThat temple currently serves as the base for the Alliance to Restore the Republic, the Rebel Alliance. Right above our heads, our rebel friends are fighting against the Empire\u2019s greatest weapon, dubbed the Death Star.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat moon right there?\u201d asked Amy as she pointed out a gray sphere with a disc on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s no moon, that\u2019s a space station with the power to destroy a planet,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cIt already destroyed the planet of Alderaan, with Princess Leia Organa as a survivor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Organa? Then she is Bail\u2019s daughter?\u201d asked Lurra Rus. That was when an explosion filled the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd THAT,\u201d continued the Doctor, \u201cis Luke Skywalker succeeding in sending a proton torpedo down a thermal exhaust port in the main trench of the Death Star, causing its reactor to go to critical.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026This is that battle of Yavin you spoke of,\u201d realized Lurra Rus. \u201cBut what does this mean?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt means a new hope for the galaxy. \u2026Now, you have three options available to you. I can wipe your memory of these events, even to where you were kidnapped by the Empire, and bring you to another planet in your native time. You can fight with the Rebel Alliance and live out history. \u2026Or you can come with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026You mean there\u2019s room for me in the TARDIS?\u201d asked Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOf course there\u2019s room for a Twi\u2019lek engineer,\u201d assured the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Then what are we waiting for?!\u201d declared Lurra Rus. \u201cLet\u2019s go see new things!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWelcome aboard, Lurra Rus!\u201d said the Doctor. She brought everyone back into the TARDIS and it took off again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Doctor, what will happen to Project Necromancer?\u201d asked Amy. \u201cYou said you couldn\u2019t delete all of Davros\u2019 notes on it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026That\u2019s actually a good question,\u201d muttered the Doctor. She then typed out a command. \u201cLet\u2019s see, cross-reference TARDIS historical databanks on Project Necromancer. Keyword: Davros. From\u202618 BBY onward. \u2026Oh!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor?\u201d asked Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt looks like the people that tried to bring it back after the fall of the Empire in 4 ABY,\u201d explained the Doctor, \u201ccouldn\u2019t make heads or tails of what I left behind. They tried to restore Emperor Palpatine with it, but created a failed vessel that took the moniker of Snoke. After which, Palpatine came back fully, but was defeated by his granddaughter, Rey, ending the Sith\u2019s long vendetta against the Jedi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat will that mean for those who study the Force?\u201d asked Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, there\u2019s always Grandmaster Din Grogu,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cNow HE knew how to make a proper order, not one shackled by dogma and bureaucracy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, what about Davros?\u201d asked Amy. The Doctor decided to check the instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Sensors detected a craft similar to a TARDIS leaving the same space\/time coordinates we shared,\u201d she reported. \u201cDavros has decided to flee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd update the Daleks, I bet,\u201d shuddered Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf the Daleks will accept him as he is,\u201d remarked the Doctor. \u201cWhich I doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, you mentioned something about him stealing energy from you,\u201d reminded Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, and he glowed like Rassilon did when she had to regenerate,\u201d continued Amy. \u201cWhat\u2019s that all about?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, you see, it\u2019s like this,\u201d said the Doctor. But before she could say anything, she then felt something in her mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Doctor?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Call,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201c\u2026The Call from Gallifrey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCall? From Gallifrey?\u201d asked Amy. \u201cDoes Rassilon need help?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe certainly does,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cShe\u2019s going to be surprised about Lurra Rus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCan someone fill me in?\u201d asked Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe founder of my people\u2019s society,\u201d explained the Doctor, \u201cneeds help on our home planet and time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, my first planet and time outside my native galaxy!\u201d said Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cExactly.\u201d The Doctor set the coordinates and the TARDIS took off, en route to Gallifrey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vader had cut through the door and Force-pushed the rubble away.
