Special Episode - Cries of Earom

Rain pours down from the sky, falling onto the city of Earom. A man holding a briefcase runs in the rain, but towards a building.

Walking into the building, he shakes off the rain on his coat, and he hangs it up. He walks towards a door that says 'Wilburn' on it.

As the man opens a door, he sees a younger woman and two men stood inside. The younger woman looks at him "sorry, they just let themselves in". Of the two men, an older man stands up and says "Detective Jenson Wilburn?" Jenson nods "that's me" Jenson walks over to his desk, and he sits down "how may I be of assistance?". The two men both stare at him as a knocking is heard coming from the side of him. The older man then goes "with that" Jenson looks over at a door beside him and he then walks over to the door. The older man goes "don't open it" Jenson then goes "why?". The older man stares at him. Jenson then smiles "I think I want too".

The younger woman walks over to Jenson and goes "I'll get it for you". The younger woman then opens the door, where she sees a person stood there with a covering over there head. Jenson then puts his hands around the covering and he pulls it off, revealing an older woman with dark, long and black hair. The older woman's eyes are shut. Jenson stares at the older woman until the older woman's eyes then open, and she lays her eyes upon the younger woman, and the younger woman starts to scream as her body turns into stone. Jenson then goes "oh my god-".

The Tardis flies through the vortex, spinning around. The sound of the Tardis flying is also heard.

Inside the Tardis, The Doctor stands around the console flicking some buttons, levers and switches. The Doctor then presses onto a small button and he says "we're almost there, get dried up and meet me at the console". The Doctor presses the button again and he smiles.

Maya climbs out of a swimming pool and she smiles "this is amazing" Greg then nods as he hands her a towel "it's like a whole planet inside this thing" Maya laughs and she goes "I'll meet you at the console room" Greg nods at her as Maya then walks off towards a small door.

Later on, Maya and Greg both walk into the console room, The Doctor smiles "enjoy it?" Maya smiles "I loved it" Greg laughs "definitely want to do that again sometime" The Doctor smiles.

The Tardis then materialises, and the loud thud is heard as the Tardis lands.

The Doctor smiles at Maya and Greg "we're here, come on". Maya and Greg follow The Doctor.

The Doctor walks out of the Tardis, seeing a street outside, it's night time and streetlamps are lit in the road. Rain is also pouring down from the sky, and there are puddles everywhere.

The Doctor looks over at a statue on the pavement and The Doctor "what an artwork".

Maya and Greg walk out from behind. Greg looks around he goes "Earth?" The Doctor goes "maybe, but it doesn't smell like Earth" Maya then goes "what does Earth smell like?" The Doctor smiles "like...I don't know, it just has a different smell" Greg nods "so, it's an Earth-like planet then?" The Doctor nods "yeah, I'm thinking so" Greg looks up at the sky and he goes "well, I'm getting soaked, so either we get back into the Tardis, or let's take some shelter?" The Doctor nods "good idea, come on". Maya and Greg both follow The Doctor towards a building.

The three of them enter a hotel, The Doctor walks up to a counter and starts to ring a bell.

Maya then goes "this planet is almost identical to Earth, are there many like it?" The Doctor laughs "you think your species are rare? Your species are extremely common, there are many planets out there with humanoid creatures living on them, you aren't the only humans out there". Maya looks at Greg. The Doctor then rings the bell again. Greg then goes "Doctor, I didn't see anyone outside, like anyone" The Doctor then turns around and he goes "neither did I".

Walking back outside, The Doctor looks at the empty streets. Maya looks at The Doctor "maybe it's deserted?" Greg then goes "everything seems too clean to be deserted". The Doctor looks at another statue, which is in the street. The Doctor stares at the statue, and at its face.

Maya watches as a flashing light is seen from across the street and she points at the light "Doctor!" The Doctor nods at her "I see it, let's go, come on". The Doctor, Maya and Greg run towards the building where the light is coming from, and they all enter the building.

As they walk inside, Jenson then runs towards them, locking the door behind them "are you three crazy! You know you shouldn't be outside!" The Doctor then goes "why not?" Jenson sighs as he goes to walk off "she's out there" The Doctor grabs Jenson's shoulder, pulling him back "who's she?" Jenson looks at the three of them "the woman who turns you into stone".

The Doctor, Maya and Greg follow Jenson and he runs up a flight of stairs, to the roof of a building. Maya goes "oh please, not the rain again" Jenson then looks at her "this isn't rain".

As the four of them walk out on the roof, The Doctor looks at the rain which is falling and he goes "what do you mean it's not rain?" Jenson goes "it's the cries of Earom" The Doctor stares at him.

Standing on the rooftop, Jenson points down at a street, where The Doctor looks down.

Maya and Greg stand together and Greg goes "what is it?".

The Doctor stares down at statues all in the street and he goes "those statues we saw earlier, they're people" Jenson goes "they used to be people, she turned them into stone, I'm the only person alive, well I thought I was until I saw you three". The Doctor looks at him "whatever she is, we'll stop her, I promise you" Jenson nods at The Doctor "how do we stop something we can't look at?" The Doctor then goes "I don't know, but we'll figure it out". Maya nods "take his work on that, he's the smartest man I know" Jenson then looks at The Doctor "we can't let her get out of the city, or the entire population will be taken out" The Doctor goes "first things first, we need to find her" Greg goes "how do we do that?" The Doctor looks at them "we take a walk down the street". Maya then sighs "I'm already soaked, let's just go and do it already" The Doctor smiles at her. Jenson looks at three of them "you three are mad" The Doctor nods at him "oh, yes".

The Doctor, Maya and Greg walk down the street together with Jenson walking behind them. Jenson goes "just one glance, and it turns you into stone" The Doctor then goes "Maya, Greg...if you think it could be with us, close your eyes instantly, this thing sounds dangerous, and I'd rather not have to go back to your parents and tell them that I've lost you" Maya looks at him "don't worry about us, we'll be fine" The Doctor then turns around and looks at her "I mean it, you wouldn't believe the amounts of people who have told me that, and ended up dying".

Scraping is then heard coming from behind them and The Doctor then goes "eyes closed! EVERYONE". The Doctor, Maya, Greg and Jenson all close their eyes, as the older woman stands behind them, she stares at The Doctor and all the others.

Maya stands there shaking as rain pours onto her, running down her face. Greg then holds onto her hand "keep your eyes closed". The Doctor pulls his Sonic Screwdriver out and he starts scanning around "where are you?". With his eyes closed, he then scans the older woman and sonic makes a weird noise. The Doctor then smiles "gotcha". The Doctor then goes "everyone hold hands, and follow me!". With their eyes closed, everyone holds hands and they run together, in the opposite direction of the older woman. The older woman stands watching them running.

Running into the hotel, Jenson closes the door behind him and he goes "well, was it worth almost losing our lives?" The Doctor looks at the sonic and he looks at the readings "um, yes...sort of, well...I mean, I'd rather have not known about this" Greg looks at him "why? What is it?" The Doctor goes "this is rare, it's very rare, extremely rare, I'm talking...one in a centillion chance" Maya goes "what the hell are you talking about?" The Doctor goes "whatever that thing out there is, it's a race, an ancient species, a species that should be extinct, they were alive in the universe years before life on Earth, that thing outside is a Madula, and it is the last of its race, possibly...well hopefully, there are some things in the universe that even I don't want to meet, this is one of them because I really don't know how to stop it" Greg scoffs "there's always a way, there must be something we can do" The Doctor looks at him "we can't even look at it, and you can't fight something you can't look at" Maya goes "who says we have to fight it?" The Doctor looks at her.

The Doctor runs into the Tardis with Greg and Greg goes "so, what're you looking for?" The Doctor goes "something very powerful, and beyond your beliefs". The Doctor runs over to a chest that is at the back of the console room and he nods "over there". Greg watches The Doctor as he searches through a chest. Greg slowly walks over to him and he goes "so, explain more about this Madula" The Doctor goes "I said most of it, an ancient species that shouldn't be alive, they once were the most powerful race in the universe" Greg goes "what happened to them?" The Doctor goes "I don't know, sometimes, things just happen, some things just aren't meant to be, some lives just aren't meant to be lived, some people are born to serve a purpose, even if it means they don't live long, but The Madula, I'm shocked to see one, I never thought I'd ever meet one" Greg stares at him "what will happen if we just leave it alone?" The Doctor goes "it turns everyone on this planet into stone, they all die, it'll feed off of their life source until they are drained, it could probably stay here a while, but it would move on, hopping to different planets, killing everything it finds" Greg stares at him. The Doctor then pulls out a familiar objects. The Doctor smiles "here it is!" Greg kneels down beside him "what is it?" The Doctor smiles "a stasis cube, Maya was right, we can't fight it, but we can trap it, I can trap it in here, it wont ever be able to escape" Greg smiles at him "let's do it then" The Doctor smiles "follow me".

Maya sits up against a wall looking at Jenson who stares at a picture in his wallet. Maya then goes "so, are you here alone?" Jenson nods "I was working on a case, some people who were disappearing, obviously I know why now. My family are a couple cities across from here, that's why I wanna get rid of her, if she got out of this city, she'd find my family, and turn them into stone" Maya goes "The Doctor won't wont let her, I know him, he's one of the best people I've ever met, he changed my life completely, for the better" Jenson smiles "he seems cool" Maya smiles "he is, we've seen so much, I won't ever leave him, it's one of the best things I've ever done" Jenson smiles at her. Maya goes "so, who's in your family, back at home?" Jenson smiles "my wife, I met her when I was younger, then my two children, they're only seven and nine" Maya smiles "I'd love to have kids someday, but with The Doctor, it's kind of hard" Jenson goes "it wasn't something we planned, it just kind of happened, but it was the best accident we had" Maya smiles at him "well, they're very lucky, my family are back at home, they don't even know I'm here, I promised them I wouldn't travel with The Doctor anymore, but me and Greg lied to them". Jenson stares at her. Maya looks up at the door, where she sees the old woman staring in, Maya instantly looks down and closes her eyes and she screams "SHE'S HERE".

The Doctor and Greg walk together across the street together, where The Doctor then sees the hotel door open. The Doctor runs over and he goes "no!" Greg goes "The Madula?" The Doctor nods "she got inside" The Doctor then looks towards a set of stairs and he goes "come on!".

Maya runs with Jenson up the stairs. Jenson falls over and his wallet drops out of his pocket, Jenson goes to pick it up, but Maya pulls him, to keep running. As the two of them keep running, Maya then reaches a dead-end at the top of the stairs. Maya runs up to the dead-end and she goes "no, no! NO!". Jenson looks at her "she's coming" Maya looks at Jenson with tears in her eyes "we're trapped". Jenson then goes "close your eyes". Maya then closes her eyes, but Jenson keeps his open. Maya goes "what're we going to do?" Jenson goes "you're going to stay here, and wait till your friends get back". Jenson then walks away from Maya and Maya stands there with her eyes closed "what? What do you mean?". Maya then hears Jenson walking down the stairs and saying "I've lived, I brought two beautiful boys into this world, two boys who are going to grow up to make me proud, but you have so much more to give, you will be a mother someday, and the day you are, just remember me". Maya stands on her own and she shouts "JENSON, PLEASE COME BACK, DON'T DO THIS". Jenson stands on the stairs as the Madula get closer, Jenson then looks at The Madula, and The Madula starts to screech as Jenson's body slowly turns into stone, but Jenson grabs The Madula, and he pulls The Madula off of the stairs, and they fall, down the flights of stairs, as they fall, Jenson starts to completely turn to stone.

At the bottom of the stairs, The Doctor and Greg go to run upstairs, until The Madula and Jenson fall to the floor at the bottom, Jenson is stone. But The Madula stands up and it looks at The Doctor and Greg. Greg closes his eyes as The Doctor then throws the stasis cube onto the floor, and a bright light then captures The Madula. The Madula starts to screech as it's forced into the stasis cube. The light slowly dims until there is no more light. The Doctor looks down at the stasis cube, where The Madula is now trapped. Greg's eyes open and he looks at Jenson.

The Doctor goes "go check on Maya!" Greg nods and he runs up the stairs shouting "MAYA?".

As Greg reaches the top of the stairs, Maya opens her eyes, where tears fall down her face.

Later on, Maya steps out of the Tardis holding Jenson's wallet. The Doctor and Greg stand outside, but against the exterior of the Tardis. Maya walks over to a house, and she knocks on the door. The Doctor and Greg stand together. Greg goes "she wanted to do this, for Jenson" The Doctor nods "his family has a right to know about his sacrifice" Greg looks at The Doctor and he nods. The Doctor watches as a woman starts crying as he sees Maya then hugging the woman.

The Doctor looks at Greg "come on, give them a minute" Greg nods at The Doctor, and the two of them enter the Tardis. The Doctor walks over to the console and he flicks a lever "I've put the stasis cube into the ice room-" Greg goes "ice room?" The Doctor nods "the coldest room in the Tardis, it'll dampen The Madula's powers, it'll be trapped forever" Greg stands there staring at him.

The Doctor then sonics over towards a box and music starts to play. Greg starts to laugh "really?" The Doctor smiles "oh yes!". Maya then enters the Tardis and she smiles at the two of them who are dancing. Maya then goes "well, let's get outta here then" The Doctor flicks the dematerialisation lever, and the Tardis leaves Earom. Greg looks at Maya and the two of them hug.

Maya laughs at Greg and she turns around "everything alright?" The Doctor smiles at her "of course, even better now, we've got a distress call".

The Doctor steps out of the Tardis and he walks up a cobbled pathway with Maya and Greg towards Somnum Exterri Manor. The Doctor knocks on the door. Maya looks at Greg "looks creepy" Greg nods "most manors usually are".

The Doctor pulls out his sonic screwdriver and he sonics the door and the lock opens. Maya goes "Doctor, that's called breaking into a house?" The Doctor goes "no, it's called doing the world a favour".

Maya and Greg follow him inside where they see a creepy man sitting in an armchair. The creepy man smiles at the three of them. Maya and Greg stand together uncomfortable. The Creepy Man then goes "hello Doctor, Maya...Greg. Welcome to my Manor" The Doctor stares in shock.

The Doctor opens the door, and he walks into a Tardis console room, very much like the original console, but the walls are black and red. The Doctor then goes "hello?". A woman's voice goes "oh, you're awake then". The Doctor looks behind him and he sees The Rani stood there.
