\u201cSHE IS AN ENEMY OF THE DALEKS!\u201d reminded another Dalek aboard the Saucer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSHE MUST BE EXTERMINATED!\u201d urged the Saucer Commander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNO!\u201d argued the Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026No?!\u201d asked the Saucer Commander. \u201cShe is our greatest enemy! She must be exterminated before she sabotages the operation!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Doctor cannot interfere in the destruction of Irk!\u201d replied the Dalek Supreme. \u201cThe Laws of Time she upholds forbid her from interfering in fixed points in time! History indicates that only Tallest Zim survives! All other Irkens are exterminated! Her presence does not change things!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut the Doctor will urge the Martians to take Zim away!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen so be it! This will be a victory over the Doctor! Alert Dalek Spearhead! The Doctor is not to be exterminated! Obey! OBEY!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2026obey!\u201d replied the Saucer Commander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The transport continued on its way rapidly through the capital city of Irk. \u201cOf all the things to spawn from there, why did Skaro have to produce the Daleks?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSkaro? Is that their home planet?\u201d asked Sty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s correct,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cThe same ancestral home world as Tysar\u2019s people, the Thals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Daleks are our ancient enemies,\u201d explained Tysar. \u201cWe\u2019ve opposed even their humanoid ancestors, the Kaleds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Thals\u2019 war against the Kaleds went nuclear,\u201d continued the Doctor, \u201cthen a lunatic Kaled scientist called Davros mutated his people into the Daleks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cY-You mean there\u2019s\u2026something alive in those things?!\u201d shuddered Ariel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cImagine those polyps of Ursula\u2019s had become so warped by hate and that she slapped them into a tank that\u2019s powered by psychokinetic energy from the polyp,\u201d said the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re the scourge of the universe,\u201d said Sty, \u201cand we have to resist them!\u201d The Doctor placed her hand on her face in thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026We have to get Zim off this planet,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes. The Tallest must survive\u2026even though Tallest Tak proved to be better at\u2026sorry. Bit sore about Tak\u2019s loss in the Irken Civil War.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat happened to her after the war?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe was subjected to an Existence Evaluation,\u201d replied Sty. \u201cShe failed it somehow and she was killed while her PAK\u2019s data was erased.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut the Control Brains weren\u2019t operating at full capacity during the Civil War,\u201d recalled the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why I say the judgement was flawed. But anyone that looks too deeply is reassigned to degrading positions.\u201d The transport then arrived. \u201cCome on!\u201d Everyone left the transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNaturally, we wouldn\u2019t dream of encroaching on Irken Territory,\u201d Tyr\u2019ahnee said to Zim, \u201cbut we WOULD prefer to know when you intend to conquer a planet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course, the same will apply to you,\u201d said Zim. \u201cThat just leaves settling disputes on if we intend to conquer the same planet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Perhaps a joint conquest and the conquered chooses who will be their tyrant?\u201d suggested Tyr\u2019ahnee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat actually sounds fun!\u201d purred Zim. \u201cBut how to-?\u201d The Doctor and her group then burst into the room. \u201cWhat the-?! SECURITY!\u201d shouted Zim. \u201cDO WE NO LONGER HAVE IT?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy Tallest-!\u201d urged Sty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSILENCE!\u201d shouted Zim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith respect, I need to-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou DARE disobey your Almighty Tallest?! You know, Invader Sty, perhaps I should reassign you to-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTHE DALEKS ARE ON IRK!\u201d Sty finally said. Everyone turned to Sty. \u201c\u2026Sizz-Lorr was nothing but a Dalek Duplicate that set up a transmat so its masters could just stroll onto Irk and begin their campaign! It\u2019s likely THEY are the ones behind the destruction of the Empire!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLIES!\u201d shouted Zim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTruth, I can assure you, Zim,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cYou and the Martians need to evacuate Irk!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, why should I believe an enemy?! You have thwarted me twice over and will NOT get the opportunity to thwart me a-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy Tallest!\u201d called an Irken running communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCAN I GET A WORD IN EDGEWISE?!\u201d shouted Zim as he pointed his gun at the offending Irken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cForgive me,\u201d said the Irken, \u201cbut our outposts have reported that saucer-shaped ships are entering our space! The design of the ships matches Dalek aesthetics!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?! They wouldn\u2019t dare!\u201d protested Zim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey would and they will,\u201d sighed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy Tallest, the Doctor insists that you evacuate Irk,\u201d said Sty. \u201cWhy, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m not leaving until I get answers!\u201d snarled Zim. \u201cSend a message to the Dalek fleet!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Daleks are sparing us the effort,\u201d replied the Communications Irken. \u201cTHEY are contacting US.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey can\u2019t resist a gloat,\u201d sighed Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOpen a channel!\u201d ordered Zim. A screen lowered itself into position and footage of the bridge of a Dalek Saucer appeared with the Dalek Supreme in the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAttention, Irk!\u201d it barked. \u201cThis is the Dalek Supreme aboard the Flagship of the Dalek Fleet approaching your world! Resistance is useless! Your time has come!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve called to gloat,\u201d called the Doctor. \u201cMake it quick and be done with your mission here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor!\u201d barked the Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDalek Supreme!\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cIf a member of the Dalek Supreme Council is here, your mission against the Irken Empire must be high on your Emperor\u2019s list of priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe new World Smasher<\/em> class of vessel needs to be tested! You cannot prevent what is coming!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo that\u2019s why you\u2019re doing what history says you do, just to test out your new toy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPah! Inferior technology compared to the Irken Empire\u2019s!\u201d boasted Zim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf your superiority were true, you would have withstood our assault!\u201d retorted the Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou cannot destroy the Irken Empire! The Lords commanding those planets will prepare the counter-offensive and reclaim our territory-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDuplicates of those under your command, Zim, have ensured that retaliation will be at its least effective! They served the Daleks in the purpose assigned to them, just as the duplicate of Sizz-Lorr did!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re lying!\u201d insisted Zim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWE are responsible for the destruction of the planets of the Irken Empire! WE are responsible for the massacre of your people and vassals!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMORE FILTHY-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey\u2019re not lying, Zim!\u201d interrupted the Doctor. \u201c\u2026The Daleks have been shrinking your empire and history didn\u2019t know until I stumbled across this time to rescue Link, Zelda, and Ariel!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor, you are permitted to rescue the victims of the Grouping!\u201d barked the Dalek Supreme. \u201cBut you must hurry! The Dalek Death Squad that used the transmat the Sizz-Lorr duplicate built before its self-extermination is 500 rels from the main command center!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor, if you value your life, you will assist us against the Daleks!\u201d ordered Zim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2026I can\u2019t,\u201d sighed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou will obey!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe cannot!\u201d gloated the Dalek Supreme. \u201cBefore this day ends, Irk will be destroyed and your people will ALL be exterminated! The Irken Genocide is a fixed point in time! The Doctor cannot prevent this! All life is to bow down to the Daleks or else be exterminated!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow I know you\u2019re lying-!\u201d snarled Zim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s not a lie!\u201d called the Doctor. \u201c\u2026Zim, I\u2019m sorry, but you MUST go with Tyr\u2019ahnee and Marvin. The Irken races dies today with you being the only survivor and there\u2019s nothing I can do to prevent it without breaking the laws of time.\u201d Zim stared at the Doctor in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2026You have to be lying!\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTime Lords cannot lie about the Laws of Time they hold dear,\u201d remarked Tyr\u2019ahnee. Zim\u2026stumbled. His whole empire\u2026destined to fall?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow you understand!\u201d barked the Dalek Supreme. \u201cFight or surrender, it makes no difference! You will be exterminated! Doctor, 400 rels remain!\u201d The call then ended. Zim thought for just a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Ready all weapons!\u201d he ordered. \u201cWe\u2019re at war!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIrken Defenses are being raised!\u201d reported a Dalek to the Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat does not matter!\u201d replied the Dalek Supreme. \u201cQuantum fluctuations in this time period still indicate Dalek victory!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDalek Spearhead reports that Tallest Consort is approaching!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHer survival is unimportant! Exterminate!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gaz Membrane had an Irken blaster in her hands and her PAK\u2019s legs were fully extended, making her look like an unholy demon of flesh and steel. No sooner did she round a corner than the Dalek Spearhead arrived. \u201cHALT!\u201d shouted the Battle Commander. Gaz aimed her gun fired right at the eyestalk, taking the dome clean off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cALERT! ALERT! SPEARHEAD LEADER DESTROYED! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!!\u201d shrieked the Battle Commander\u2019s subordinate. The Daleks fired, but the legs from Gaz\u2019s PAK kept her out of the line of fire. Another Dalek was shot in the dome, giving the thing a terminal headache. Then\u2026Gaz noticed something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWait, I shot two and you guys were six,\u201d she said. \u201cThere\u2019s only three of you left though. Where\u2019s the fourth?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEXTERMINATE!\u201d One of the Daleks had engaged its flight mode and snuck behind her, striking her right in the PAK and bathing her in the usual cold cyan light as her skeleton was briefly illuminated. She screamed in agony and her PAK\u2019s legs gave out, causing her to collapse in an undignified heap. \u201cTallest Consort exterminated!\u201d reported the flying Dalek as it set itself back onto the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSatisfactory!\u201d replied the new Spearhead Leader. \u201cProceed! The Doctor is not to be harmed! Exterminate all others!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe obey!\u201d replied its subordinates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cSHE IS AN ENEMY OF THE DALEKS!\u201d reminded another Dalek aboard the Saucer. \u201cSHE MUST BE EXTERMINATED!\u201d urged the Saucer Commander. \u201cNO!\u201d argued the Dalek Supreme. \u201c\u2026No?!\u201d asked the Saucer Commander. \u201cShe is our greatest enemy!
