The prisoners were brought to Zim and Tyr\u2019ahnee. \u201cYou caused quite a lot of noise, Doctor!\u201d hissed Zim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo the rumors of Time Lords changing their faces are true, then?\u201d asked Marvin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, I seem to recall you falling for Bugs Bunny\u2019s disguise as Tyr\u2019ahnee over there,\u201d replied the Doctor, \u201cso-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBunny?!\u201d asked Tyr\u2019ahnee. She turned on Marvin. \u201cOur exile from Mars was because of a BUNNY?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat rabbit\u2019s clever, Your Majesty!\u201d protested Marvin as he blushed, remembering the incident with the Ice Warriors. \u201c\u2026All right, so that IS the Doctor. What happened to the pink hedgehog?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s back in her home time,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cI think the real question is what are you lot doing on Irk? When did you make an alliance with the Irken Empire?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDesperate times forge strange alliances, Time Lord,\u201d replied Tyr\u2019ahnee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, take it from someone who\u2019s been in your future, you should abandon the idea and get off of Irk as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou should be familiar with the human expression \u2018fat chance\u2019, given your reputation of defending them, Doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet\u2019s just say that-,\u201d said Tysar. The Doctor clamped a hand over her companion\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust trust us, all right?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to need more than the word of an enemy,\u201d said Zim, \u201cto convince me that sending the Martians away is a good idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy Tallest!\u201d called an Irken. \u201cA ship from Foodcourtia has arrived! It is heavily damaged and its pilot is asking to speak with you about the destruction of Foodcourtia!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?! Bring the pilot here!\u201d ordered Zim. He growled as the Irken obeyed. \u201cFoodcourtia! Of all planets!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow did it get destroyed?\u201d muttered Tyr\u2019ahnee. \u201cI heard the gravity field increases thanks to so many customers that it creates a time dilation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSome master of time, perhaps?\u201d guessed Marvin. Zim\u2019s antennae twitched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026You know, you\u2019re not the first Time Lord to visit the Empire recently,\u201d he remarked to the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou make it sound like Gallifrey is responsible for its destruction,\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy not? Your TARDIS\u2019s can handle the effects of the Great Foodening Queen Tyr\u2019ahnee was talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTallest Zim, I can assure you, we are NOT responsible for the shrinking of your empire. We\u2019re still in a state of reconstruction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen why would this Omega character be on Foodcourtia?\u201d The Doctor\u2019s gaze darkened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOmega is a renegade,\u201d she explained. \u201cHe\u2019s behind the Grouping, yes, but not behind your current problem. Let me send Ariel, Zelda, and Link back to their proper points in space-time, then give me any information you have on Omega and I\u2019ll stop him from messing up your empire\u2019s timeline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, a word,\u201d said Tysar. The Doctor and Tysar went to a corner to whisper to each other. \u201cAre you sure Omega\u2019s not behind this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Irken Genocide had evidence of conventional weaponry, not Gallifreyan,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cSomething else will be behind what\u2019s coming.\u201d Just then, the door opened. The Irkens were helping a tall and fat Irken in a fry cook\u2019s uniform with an apron and hat walk into the room, thanks to all the battle damage he sustained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFry Lord Sizz-Lorr,\u201d greeted Zim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cM-My Tallest!\u201d gasped Sizz-Lorr. \u201cT-Terror is\u2026is coming! F-Foodcourtia\u2026destroyed! Gravity\u2026resulted in\u2026black hole! I was\u2026only survivor!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSizz-Lorr, who would destroy Foodcourtia?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cD\u2026D\u2026D\u2026the sauce\u2026!\u201d Sizz-Lorr collapsed before he could reveal anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGet him to the medical center!\u201d ordered Zim. \u201cHe can explain himself when he\u2019s awake!\u201d Tysar, having overheard everything like the others, had a nasty theory in her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026God, I hope not,\u201d she muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Doctor and her group were locked up in a cell with the TARDIS being taken away. \u201cDrat,\u201d muttered the Doctor. \u201cNow we\u2019re in for it. History says that only the Irken race dies today. If Tyr\u2019ahnee and Marvin die, time is fractured!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, are you absolutely sure that-?!\u201d urged Ariel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t\u2026interfere with history like that. \u2026Not again.\u201d The Time Lord Victorious went to the forefront of the Doctor\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCan\u2019t you save SOMEONE?!\u201d asked Link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026All I can safely save is Zim,\u201d sighed the Doctor. \u201cAnd you lot. Everyone else, I\u2019m\u2026I\u2019m bound by the laws of time not to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not fair!\u201d protested Ariel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn an ideal world, I wouldn\u2019t give a second thought to saving them!\u201d snapped the Doctor. \u201c\u2026But tragedies need to happen! Ursula and Morgana\u2019s respective schemes are a part of YOUR history! Zelda\u2019s kidnappings are a part of her history, no matter how many times the timeline is reset! Power and heroism being forced on Link when he\u2019d rather have a simple life is a part of his history! Tysar landing in Gotham is a part of her history! My stumbling on Skaro and giving my greatest enemies a shot at becoming a temporal power is a part of my history! Ariel, we can\u2019t undo the tragedies of our lives, otherwise we fail to learn the lessons from them and something worse will taint our world-view! Maybe\u2026somehow\u2026we can prevent future tragedies like what\u2019s coming from happening. \u2026You all should be safe in the TARDIS when we get out. I brought this mystery to Irk\u2026and I\u2019ll solve it alone if I have to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou will not!\u201d protested Zelda. \u201cYou\u2019ll probably make a beastly mess of things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd you\u2019ll need me around to tidy that mess up!\u201d urged Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Looks like we have to solve the mystery before things get out of hand,\u201d decided Link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026We\u2019d better get on with it then,\u201d sighed Ariel, feeling helpless. \u201cAnd we better figure it out quickly before our names are added to the list of casualties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Thank you. All of you,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201c\u2026Come on!\u201d She then pulled out her sonic screwdriver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026They didn\u2019t take it?\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, they didn\u2019t take my shield and the Master Sword,\u201d replied Link as he drew his sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTheir arrogance is usually their undoing,\u201d remarked the Doctor. She buzzed the lock again and the door opened. \u201cThere we go! Come along! We\u2019ve got work to\u2026\u201d She trailed off when she saw Sizz-Lorr walking down the hall, seemingly without pain despite all the scarring. \u201c\u2026Shouldn\u2019t he be laid up in the medical lab?\u201d pondered the Doctor aloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSomething\u2019s not right with that man,\u201d remarked Zelda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCome along. We\u2019ll follow him.\u201d The group cautiously followed Sizz-Lorr until he arrived at a storage barn. There was a hissing sound and his belly opened up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not the real Sizz-Lorr?\u201d asked Ariel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo,\u201d confirmed the Doctor. \u201cSome robotic duplicate? \u2026Hang on. \u2026That word he used just before he collapsed. \u2026Something about sauce\u2026and he was trying to say something that started with the letter D.\u201d The Doctor then saw Sizz-Lorr take parts for something out of his belly and assemble something. Her eyes widened. \u201cA transmat!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA what?\u201d asked Ariel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMatter transmission, teleportation,\u201d explained Tysar. \u201cBut from wh-?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour people\u2019s ancestral home-world!\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cSizz-Lorr\u2019s a duplicate! The real one must have been killed during the destruction of Foodcourtia!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, you don\u2019t mean-!\u201d protested Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTransmat complete, Masters,\u201d droned Sizz-Lorr. He then stood silently as he received orders. \u201c\u2026I obey. Termination in three\u2026two\u2026one.\u201d He then sparked and collapsed as the transmat warmed up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI obey!\u201d shuddered Tysar. \u201cThe words of their slaves and what they say to their superiors!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho?!\u201d asked Link. \u201cWho\u2019s got you so spooked?!\u201d Link got his answer as several shapes appeared on the transmat. The shapes solidified into a foe the Doctor and Tysar know all too well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTransmat transference complete!\u201d barked the Battle Commander. \u201cAll Duplicates have reported successful sabotage of Irken Homeworld Defense Network! Proceed! Crush all resistance! Exterminate all life-forms! EXTERMINATE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe obey!\u201d replied the subordinates. They all then chanted \u201cSEEK! LOCATE! EXTERMINATE! SEEK! LOCATE! EXTERMINATE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaleks!\u201d hissed the Doctor. \u201cWe have to get out of here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re just machines!\u201d protested Link. \u201cI can-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLink, the Daleks have the superior weaponry and strategic advantage!\u201d protested Tysar. \u201cWe have to go!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a transport over there!\u201d called Zelda as she pointed out an Irken supply vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEverybody, to the transport! NOW!\u201d ordered the Doctor. Everyone ran towards the transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLife-forms detected!\u201d called a Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHalt! HALT!\u201d shouted the Battle Commander. \u201cEXTERMINATE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEXTERMINATE! ANNIHILATE! DESTROY!\u201d chanted the Daleks as they opened fire! Unfortunately, a few Irkens got caught in the crossfire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s all the rack-?!\u201d Sty demanded as she arrived. One look at the invading force answered her question! \u201cDALEKS!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cListen, Invader\u2026!\u201d called the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInvader Sty!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInvader Sty, we need to evacuate Zim from Irk! And the Martians too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Ordinarily, I\u2019d throw you back into your cells and do what the guards should have done,\u201d said Sty, \u201cbut we\u2019re all united against the Daleks! Get on that transport!\u201d Sty bundled them all onto the transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBiological reports compiled!\u201d reported a Dalek aboard one of the Daleks\u2019 Saucers. The commanding Dalek was the Black and Gold Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSummarize!\u201d barked the Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNon-Irkens were detected! Martians were the primary discovery as they were in the process of forming a mutual defense compact with the Irken Empire! Five other humanoids were detected! Pathweb has discovered a familiarity of one of the humanoids!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDisplay humanoid!\u201d The Doctor\u2019s image appeared via hologram. \u201cIdentify!\u201d Just then, holograms of the Doctor\u2019s previous incarnations appeared, along with all the titles the Daleks gave her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
