Sleeping in his room, a strange creature snored. He was a diminutive creature with only an eyeball for a head. On his nightstand was his helmet with an oversized lightning bolt protruding from the top. As he snoozed\u2026a comms unit crackled to life with a bellowing voice shouting his name. \u201cPEEEEPEEEERS!\u201d The eyeball person, Commander Peepers of the Watchdogs of Lord Hater, woke up with a groan. He rubbed his eye and picked up the comms unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCommander Peepers here, sir,\u201d he grumbled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPeepers, we just arrived at Flurpak V and there\u2019s no life on it!\u201d barked his master, Lord Hater. \u201cI need you up here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo life\u2026?\u201d repeated Peepers. \u201cI\u2019m on my way!\u201d As he put on his helmet, one would swear they heard a military chorus sing \u201cCommander Peepers!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peepers arrived on the bride of the skull-shaped ship and dutifully marched up to his master, the skeleton in the red and black robes with green eyes and lightning bolts on his hood, Lord Hater, the current number 1 villain on the Galactic Villain Leaderboard. \u201cAre we sure there\u2019s no one down there?\u201d asked Commander Peepers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what scanner readouts are telling us,\u201d replied Hater. \u201cBut that doesn\u2019t make sense! I mean, look at the planet\u2019s north pole!\u201d Commander Peepers checked the readings and got a visual image of a giant pole sticking out of the planet\u2019s north pole. Surrounding it was a factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I\u2019d say our sensors were faulty, Sir,\u201d remarked Peepers. \u201cI\u2019ll have maintenance look at them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI already had them check the sensors out, Peepers,\u201d dismissed Hater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSirs!\u201d called a Watchdog. \u201cWe\u2019re getting a tech match concerning the factory!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnscreen!\u201d ordered Hater. The instant the tech match readings appeared, the alarms sounded with all screens displaying one single word. Peepers\u2019 eye went wider than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh\u2026Grop!\u201d he whispered. \u201cSir, do you recognize that word?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026It\u2026seems familiar,\u201d muttered Hater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSirs! Something\u2019s coming out of the factory! \u2026Backwards, it looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cZoom in on the thing!\u201d ordered Peepers. The screens zoomed in\u2026and everyone gasped. Even Hater knew what that was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow I remember!\u201d he whispered. \u201cSkaro, homeworld of the Daleks!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy are they retreating from their own factory?\u201d asked a Watchdog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait, something\u2019s coming out in pursuit of the Daleks!\u201d said another Watchdog. The screens displayed a creature that was black with glowing yellow lines, like it was made of lava!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDOMINATOR!\u201d everyone yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s obviously done something to set back the Daleks!\u201d said Hater. \u201cPeepers, get me the Dalek in charge! They want a method to take that thing down, they\u2019ll need our help!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSir, you can\u2019t be serious!\u201d protested Peepers. \u201cThese are DALEKS we\u2019re talking about!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy decision\u2019s been made, Peepers! Open a channel to the Daleks!\u201d The comms officer thought his master was clearly nuttier than usual, but there was nothing for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChannel open to Dalek Supreme, Sir,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDalek Supreme, this is Lord Hater!\u201d A black Dalek with gold trim then appeared on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have no time to talk with you, Lord Hater!\u201d it barked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re facing an enemy we faced before!\u201d replied Hater. \u201cYou want to take Lord Dominator down, yeah?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026We will discuss terms on your ship!\u201d decided the Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On another planet, the TARDIS arrived in a dark, spooky castle. Lurra Rus stepped out first and looked around. \u201cWhat is this, an amusement park ride?\u201d she asked. Amy then poked her head out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, did you get off track again?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI assure you, I didn\u2019t,\u201d replied the Doctor as she stepped out of the TARDIS. \u201cThere was a network of time corridors, almost like a net. If we drifted into one of them, we would have been caught in one and couldn\u2019t break free.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDidn\u2019t the Cybermen use a time corridor?\u201d asked Amy. \u201cIn Crystal Tokyo?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat was thanks to them scavenging from a race that\u2019s infamous with the usage of time corridors,\u201d reminded the Doctor. \u201cNo, this was straight from-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou sure you heard it over here?\u201d asked another woman\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPositive, Syl!\u201d replied a country man\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know that voice,\u201d remarked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI find it hard to believe,\u201d rumbled a third voice, \u201cthat you actually found a TARDIS. The Time Lords vanished with the Daleks, remember?\u201d Four people rounded a corner. One looked like the classic fairytale princess complete with blonde hair and a huge, pink dress. The second looked like a terrifying dragon with a crown on his head. The third looked like some alien dinosaur with a bridle and saddle. The last could only be described as a furry orange spoon with arms, legs, and a green hat with a star on the front. The Doctor\u2019s eyes lit up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAMBLER!\u201d she called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAmbler?\u201d asked the dino. \u201cWho\u2019s Ambler?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI used to be Ambler before I came to this galaxy, Syl,\u201d replied the furry spoon. \u201cAnd if I\u2019m guessing right, this lady\u2019s the Doctor!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right!\u201d confirmed the Doctor. \u201cSo, you\u2019re not Ambler these days? What are you called now?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust call me Wander!\u201d answered the furry spoon. \u201cThe Zbornak\u2019s called Sylvia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey,\u201d replied the alien dino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd those are King Draykor and his wife, Princess Demurra!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHello,\u201d greeted the princess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDraykor and Demurra!\u201d chuckled the Doctor. \u201cI had heard about your plight with Sir Brad Starlight. \u2026And I thought you had triplets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy father\u2019s babysitting them,\u201d replied the dragon, King Draykor. \u201cBoth our parents are CRAZY about the kids, even sharing a day to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, the in-laws get along, hm?\u201d mused the Doctor. \u201cWell, I\u2019m the Doctor. That\u2019s Amy Rose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHello!\u201d called Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd that\u2019s Lurra Rus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPleased to meet you,\u201d greeted Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat brings you to our planet, Doctor?\u201d asked Demurra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, someone\u2019s set up a series of time corridors like a net,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cAnd I fear it might be my greatest enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh no!\u201d complained Amy. \u201cDon\u2019t say it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSay what?\u201d asked Sylvia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat she\u2019s about to say,\u201d muttered Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Daleks,\u201d answered the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Daleks?\u201d asked Draykor. \u201cThey haven\u2019t been sighted in this galaxy since most of recorded history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, they may be here now,\u201d replied the Doctor. Just then, a knight approached the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour Majesties!\u201d he panted. \u201cDreadful news! Lord Hater\u2019s skull ship has been spotted coming here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?!\u201d yelped Draykor. \u201cPrepare all defenses!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLord Hater\u2019s coming?!\u201d asked Wander with childish glee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cErm, should I-?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWander\u2019s just excited that he gets another chance to show Hater a better path,\u201d explained Sylvia. \u201cHe did it before on numerous occasions. That\u2019s why Hater\u2019s so focused on beating him senseless and why I still have to drag his furry butt out of so many sticky situations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI suppose we\u2019d better meet Lord Hater,\u201d remarked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd see if he\u2019s connected to the Daleks at all,\u201d mused Lurra Rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe coincidence IS rather stark, isn\u2019t it?\u201d agreed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside the castle, Lord Hater\u2019s ship landed. To put it bluntly, it\u2019s Lord Hater\u2019s head with hot-rod decorations, complete with large exhaust pipes. The ship opened its mouth and unfurled a tongue. The Watchdogs then marched out of the ship, chanting \u201cHATE\u2019S GREAT! BEST VILLAIN!\u201d over and over. Lord Hater and Commander Peepers arrived. \u201cAttention, King Draykor!\u201d Lord Hater called. \u201cCome out with your hands above your head and all weapons at the door! Your planet-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHEY, HATEY-HATEY-BO-BATEY!\u201d called Wander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYOU!\u201d shouted Hater. \u201cWhat are YOU doing here, Wander!? Can\u2019t you see I\u2019m trying to conquer this-?!\u201d Hater stopped as he recalled something. \u201c\u2026Wait a minute, what am I saying? I mean, good to see you again, Wander!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSir, you can\u2019t be serious?!\u201d complained Peepers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, he helped me defeat Lord Dominator, so why not bring him along with the Doctor?!\u201d demanded Hater. Peepers raised his finger to argue\u2026then realized that his master, in his own, deluded way, was right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFair enough, Sir,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy are y\u2019all talking about Lord Dominator?\u201d asked Wander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s involved in this new mess popping up!\u201d replied Hater. \u201cAnd we need the Doctor here! So if she would help our Dalek friends, that would be-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, well, well!\u201d called the Doctor. \u201cSo the Hater Empire has sold out to the Daleks. You\u2019re seriously asking me to help them? You don\u2019t know me very well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe know you better than you think, Doctor!\u201d replied Peepers. \u201cThere\u2019s no way your TARDIS can get you out of this situation, not with the Daleks\u2019 time corridor net ready to catapult you to wherever they want you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI knew it!\u201d hissed the Doctor. \u201cI don\u2019t deny the fact that trying to escape would ensnare me like a fly in a spiderweb. So why don\u2019t you all tell me the situation that requires me and Wander from right there at your leisure? You seem to be so sure of your argument.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTime\u2019s against us, Doctor!\u201d insisted Peepers. \u201cWe\u2019re ordering you to step onto the skullship and-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat is not how you force the Doctor to cooperate!\u201d barked the Dalek Supreme as it and its retinue of Daleks glided down the tongue with a cadre of prisoners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey! Those are from my Torture Room!\u201d protested Hater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor!\u201d called the Dalek Supreme. \u201cYou will exit the castle and bring Wander aboard the skullship or we will exterminate these prisoners one at a time every five rels!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
