Asylum of the Daleks
Prequel…
The Doctor and Jared are enjoying some tea and biscuits in a tea room when he sees a cloaked figure with no visible face sitting across the room.
"Do you see it?" Jared asked.
No one else notices.
"Yeah." The Doctor said, sadly. "Who is that?"
Then it is sitting opposite them.
"I don't know. But I don't think we asked you to eat with us."
"There is a woman who wants to meet the both of you." The figure said.
"That's nice, but I'm married." The Doctor said.
"And I have to help save Weiss from ending up in the trash or something." Jared said, staring at the figure.
"Your help is required." The figure said.
"I don't discuss my business in public." The Doctor said.
"And I don't save others without the help of my friends." Jared said, staring at the figure.
"I know." The figure said. "And you'll see your friends."
A wave of the hand, and they are the only people in the tea room.
"Who are you?" Jared asked, looking at the figure.
"A messenger." The figure said.
"Whose messenger?" The Doctor asked.
"Darla von Karlsen."
"Never heard of her." The Doctor said.
The Doctor and Jared stand up.
"Come on, I'm getting a bit…" Jared said, while the location has changed. "Where's the tea room?"
"The both of you were never in the tea room." The figure said.
"Oh. Of course. Psychic projection. Someone's sending us a dream message. Well, I hope I fell asleep somewhere comfy." The Doctor said.
"And I hope I'm safe with the likes of Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Penny, and Nora." Jared said, smiling. "Where the four are protecting me while I'm asleep."
"Do you recognise where you are?" The figure asked.
Children's laughter off.
"I don't know. How do you end this call?" Jared asked. "I hate this."
"You can't." The figure said.
"What do you mean I can't? The Doctor can. And so can I!" Jared said, excitedly. "The both of us can wake up."
Jared is sitting in Mami Tomoe's apartment eating some cake and drinking some tea with the Puella Magi Holy Quintet. The fanboy looked over to see the Doctor in a deckchair on a beach.
"No, Doctor, Jared. The beach and Mami Tomoe's apartment aren't real either. The two of you are still dreaming." The figure said.
In space.
"Space? Great, just what I needed." Jared said, angrily. "Why are we here?"
"I'll tell you why. Spacetime coordinates. You will meet Darla von Karlsen here. Her daughter is in danger, and only you can save her. You recognise the planet?" The figure asked.
"Yes." The Doctor said.
"Say it."
"No."
"Name the planet."
"I will not say that name."
"Say it."
"No!" The Doctor said, waking up underneath the time rotor.
"Name the planet. Name the planet. Name the planet." The figure said, in the Doctor's head.
"Skaro."
Skaro…
A scene of utter devastation and persisting rainfall. We pan around a giant Dalek statue covered in mould and mess.
"First, there were the Daleks. And then, there were men who fought them. And then, in time, they died. There are a few, of course, who believe these men somehow survived, and that one day they will return. For both our sakes, dearest Hannah, we must hope these stories are true." Darla said, nearby.
A robed figure wearing high heels turns to a shadow with the profile of the Doctor and Jared walking inside the eyepiece of the statue.
"We got your message. Not a lot of people can send the Doctor messages. I usually get them. And I respond when I want to or need to." Jared said, smiling.
"I have a daughter, Hannah. She's in a Dalek prison camp. They say the two of you can help." Darla said.
"Do they? I wish they'd stop. I love your choice of meeting place." The Doctor said.
"Same, like it gives me an unsettling. Who told you I like this atmosphere?" Jared asked.
"They said I'd have to intrigue the both of you. And that one of you likes psychological thrillers." Darla said.
"Skaro, I know about it because I am a Whovian. It's the original planet of the Daleks. Look at this place. It's a wreck. So, who told you about us?"
"Does it matter?"
"Maybe not, but you're very well informed. If Hannah's in a Dalek prison camp, tell me, why aren't you?" The Doctor asked.
"I escaped." Darla said.
"No. Nobody escapes the Dalek camps. You're very cold." The Doctor said, chuckling.
"What's wrong?"
"Right, this is a trap." Jared said, looking at Darla. "How could I forget that?"
"What is?"
"You are, Darla, and you don't even know it." The Doctor said, looking over at Jared. "Let's go, Jared."
The Doctor and Jared back away as a Dalek eyepiece comes out of Darla's forehead, then a gun out of her right palm. The Time Lord and Jared are shot, and a Dalek saucer appears in the sky.
"The Doctor and Jared Shay are acquired." A Dalek said, nearby.
Snowshine Shipping...
"What can we do about your friend?" May asked.
"Weiss!" Ruby said, looking at the tubes.
"We have to save her." Blake said, looking at Ruby. "Do you think you can do it?"
"I don't know." Ruby said, looking down at Jared's body. "He is asleep."
"Don't worry." May said. "We can help him."
"You can save Weiss somehow." Penny said, happily.
"We have a lot more important things to worry about." Blake said.
"We might need Jared." Ruby said, reaching down on Jared's body.
"Don't. He's asleep."
"So?"
"So? Whatever he is doing in the Doctor's world..."
"You can't risk it." Nora said, sadly.
A little girl entered the room and a Dalek eyestalk sprouted from her head.
"Ruby Rose and Blake Belladonna are acquired." A Dalek said, nearby.
Mantle…
Weiss is in a dumpster and she lifted herself out of it, she climbed out of it to see a little boy there, "Hi. Are you lost?"
The little boy has a Dalek eyepiece growing from his forehead. The alleyway is filled with a white light.
"Weiss Schnee is acquired." A Dalek said, nearby.
White room…
Rory, Ruby, and Blake wake up on the floor of a circular room. Amy and Weiss are standing nearby.
"Where are we?" Rory asked, getting up and looking out of the small window.
"There's a whole Dalek fleet out there." Ruby said, running towards the small window to look out of it too.
"This is bad." Blake said, sadly.
There is a fleet of Dalek saucers outside.
"We know." Weiss said, crossing her arms.
"So how much trouble are we in?" Rory asked.
The door opens and a Dalek enters.
"How much trouble, Rory the Roman?" Jared asked.
The Doctor and Jared enter, under escort.
"Out of ten? Eleven." The Doctor said.
The ceiling opens and the floor rises, lifting them into a room.
Parliament…
A large domed area with a multitude of Daleks in tiers around them, and the White Supreme Dalek nearby, along with an organic Dalek and the Tardis.
"Where are we? We're on a spaceship." Weiss said, holding her Myrtenaster.
"We're not just on any spaceship, Ice Queen. This is the Parliament of the Daleks. Everyone, be brave." Jared said, grabbing Ruby's hand.
"What do we do?" Ruby asked.
"Just make them remember you. That's all I want."
"Well, come on then. You've got me and Jared. What are you waiting for? At long last, it's Christmas! Here we are." The Doctor said, as Jared lets go of Ruby's hand.
The Doctor and Jared close their eyes tight, expecting to die. The organic Dalek speaks.
"Save us. You will save us." The Dalek PM said.
"We'll what?" Jared asked.
"You will save the Daleks." A Dalek said.
"Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks. Save the Daleks." The Daleks said.
"Well…" Blake said, sadly.
"Save the Daleks."
"This is new." Weiss said. "Us having to save the Daleks."
Room…
A musical box plays Carmen as a young brunette nails planks over the round window. It is a neat room with a hammock and a microwave.
"Day three six three. The terror continues. Also, made another soufflé, very nearly. Check defences. They came again last night. Still always at night. Maybe they're vampires. Oh, and it's my mum's birthday. Happy birthday, mum." Oswin said, her voice nearby.
"I did make you a soufflé, but it was too beautiful to live." Oswin said.
"You will let us enter! We will enter! We will enter!" A Dalek said, nearby.
Oswin turns up the volume on Carmen. Toreador blasts out.
Parliament…
"What's the Doctor doing?" Rory asked.
"The Doctor chose the most defendable area in the room, counted all the Daleks, counted all the exits, and now he's calculating the exact distance we're standing apart and starting to worry. Oh, and look at him frowning now." Amy said.
"And what's Jared doing?"
"Jared also chose the most defendable area in the room, counted all the Daleks, counted all the exits, and now he's calculating how long it would take to get Amity Colosseum up and running and for Yang to evacuate Mantle." Amy said, while Dalek Darla is there. "Something's wrong with Amy and Rory, and who's going to fix it? And the Doctor straightens his bow tie as Ruby grabs Jared's hand."
"We have arrived." Dalek PM said.
"Where?" Ruby asked.
"Doctor. Jared."
"The Prime Minister will speak with you two now." Darla said.
"So, um, do you remember who you were. Before they emptied you out of your humanity and turned you into a living corpse?" Jared asked, letting go of Ruby's hand.
"My memories are only reactivated if they are required to facilitate cover or disguise."
"You had a daughter. I'm sorry."
"I know. I've read my file."
The Doctor and Jared walk up to the Prime Minister, who is the organic Dalek.
"Well?" The Doctor asked.
"What do the two of you know of the Dalek Asylum?" The Dalek PM asked.
"According to legend, you have a dumping ground. A planet where you lock up all the Daleks that go wrong. The battle-scarred, the insane, the ones even you can't control. It's never made any sense to me." The Doctor said.
"Same here. It's like hoarding defective electronics afraid it would catch fire." Jared said, looking at the Dalek Prime Minister. "When the lithium ion batteries would combust into flames."
"Why not?" Dalek PM asked.
"Well, you'd kill those Daleks anyway."
"It is offensive to us to extinguish such divine hatred."
"Offensive? How is that offensive?" Blake asked.
"Does it surprise you to know the Daleks have a concept of beauty?" Dalek PM asked.
"I thought you'd run out of ways to make me sick. Hello again." The Doctor said.
"Why do you find hatred beautiful? Like seriously?" Jared asked, looking at the Dalek PM. "Why? How?"
"Perhaps that is why we have never been able to kill the both of you." Dalek PM said.
A hole opens in the middle of the floor. The Doctor, Jared, and Darla walk back to it. A planet is visible.
"The Asylum. It occupies the entire planet, right to the core." Darla said.
"How many Daleks are in there?" Blake asked.
"A count has not been made. Millions, certainly."
"Are they still alive?" Weiss asked.
"It has to be assumed. The Asylum is fully automated. Supervision is not required." Darla said.
"Armed?" Amy asked.
The Daleks are always armed."
"What colour? I'm sorry, there weren't any good questions left." Rory said.
"This signal is being received from the very heart of the Asylum." Darla said.
"Right, I forgot about this!" Jared said, laughing a lot.
Carmen comes over the speakers.
"So, you knew this was coming." Ruby said, looking at Jared.
"What is the noise? Explain. Explain." A White Dalek said.
"It's me and the Doctor." Jared said, looking at Ruby.
"Sorry, what?" Blake asked.
"It's me, playing the triangle. And it's Jared, playing the violin." The Doctor said.
"Doctor, we got buried in the mix. Carmen. Amazing show. I watched it with Sayaka Miki one time. On TV with the rest of the Puella Magi Holy Quintet. What a night." Jared said, happily.
"Someone's transmitting this. Have you considered tracking back the signal and talking to them? He asked the Daleks." The Doctor said.
Room…
"Hello? Hello? Carmen." Jared said, over the speaker.
Parliament…
"Hello?" Jared asked.
Room…
"Hello?" Oswin asked.
"Come in. Come in." Jared said, his voice over the speaker.
Parliament…
"Come in, Carmen." Jared said, as Ruby, Weiss, and Blake approached him.
Room…
"Hello! Yes, yes, sorry. Do you read me?" Oswin asked.
Parliament…
"Yeah, we're reading you loud and clear. Who are you and…" Ruby said, smiling.
Room…
"...how are you doing?" Ruby asked, her voice over the speaker.
"Hello. Are you real? Are you actually, properly, real?" Oswin asked.
Parliament…
"Yeah, we're real. Actually properly real." Jared said, grabbing Ruby's hand.
"Oswin Oswald, junior entertainment officer, starship…" Oswin said, her voice over the speaker.
Room…
"Alaska. Current status, crashed and shipwrecked somewhere not nice. Been here a year, rest of the crew missing. Provisions good but keen to move on." Oswin said, sadly.
Parliament…
"A year in the Dalek Asylum? Are you okay? Are you under attack?" Blake asked.
"Some local lifeforms." Oswin said, her voice over the speaker.
Room…
"Been keeping them out." Oswin said.
"Do you know what those lifeforms are?" Jared asked, his voice over the speaker.
"I know a Dalek when I hear one, yeah."
Parliament…
"What have you been doing on your own against the Daleks for a year?" Weiss asked.
Room…
"Making soufflés?" Oswin asked.
Parliament…
"Soufflés? Against the Daleks? Where did you get the milk?" Jared asked.
"This conversation is irrelevant." The White Dalek said.
"Nope, it isn't."
Room…
"No! Hello? Hello?" Oswin asked.
Parliament…
"It is. A spaceship crashed into your Asylum, and Clara, I mean, Oswin got in. If somebody gets in, then everything can get out." Jared said, looking at the White Dalek.
"It's a tsunami of insane Daleks." Ruby said, her eyes widening.
"Nevertheless, you don't want that." Weiss said.
"The Asylum must be cleansed." The White Dalek said.
"So, why is it still here? You have enough firepower on this ship to destroy the Dalek Asylum." Blake said.
"The Asylum forcefield is impenetrable." Darla said.
"You could always turn it off." Ruby said, frowning.
"It can only be turned off from within the Asylum."
"Maybe you can send in a couple of Daleks through a force field." Ruby said, looking at the Daleks.
"Oh, yeah." Jared said, smirking. "Now that's amazing. You're all too scared to go down there. Love it. None of you will go."
"So, what do the Daleks do when they're too scared?" Weiss asked.
"The Predators of the Daleks will be deployed." The White Dalek said.
"You don't have Predators, and even if you did, why would they turn off a forcefield for you?" The Doctor asked.
"Because Doctor, you and Jared will have no other means of escape." Dalek PM said.
"May I clarify? The Predators are the Dalek's word for you and Jared." Darla said.
"Me? Me? I get Jared, due to him taking out Grimm with Team RWBY. But me?" The Doctor asked.
"You and Jared will need these. They will protect the both of you from the nanocloud."
Two humanoids put wristbands on the Doctor's wrist and Jared's wrist.
"The what? The nano what?" Jared asked, looking at Darla. "The hell is that? Sorry, it's been a long couple days. Of me dealing with Lake Silencio then Christmas. And now trying to help evacuate Mantle and get Amity Colosseum up and running."
"The gravity beam will convey you close to the source of the transmission. You must find a way to deactivate the forcefield from there." Darla said.
"You're going to fire me and the Doctor at a planet? That's your plan? We get fired at a planet and expect to fix it."
"In fairness, that is slightly both of your M Os." Rory said, looking between Jared and the Doctor.
"Don't be fair to the Daleks when they're firing me and Jared at a planet." The Doctor said, annoyed.
Rory, Amy, Ruby, Weiss, and Blake have wristbands put on them, too.
"What do you want with them?" Jared asked, looking at the Daleks.
"It is known the Doctor and Jared required companions." The White Dalek said.
"Oh, brilliant. Good oh." Rory said, annoyed.
"Don't worry. We'll get through this, I promise. Don't be scared." The Doctor said.
"Yeah, we got this. Seriously, being scared is a bad thing." Jared said, smiling.
"Scared? Who's scared. Geronimo." Amy said.
"Ha! Oi!" The Doctor said, annoyed.
The humanoids push the Doctor, Amy, Rory, Jared, Ruby, Weiss, and Blake into the gravity beam.
(Jared's POV)
Gravity beam…
"Argh!" I said with everyone else, at the same time.
"Wrong way up! Wrong way up!" Rory said, terrified.
Rory, Ruby, and Weiss plummet past the Doctor, Amy, Blake, and I head first.
"Doctor!" Amy said, worried.
The beam splits into seven.
"Shit." I said, looking down at the beams.
Snowfield…
Amy and Blake land on a snowy landscape with a brilliant blue sky. A black man in white thermals drops his drill - labelled Alaska - and runs to them.
"Hello? Hello? Who are you two? You okay?" Harvey asked.
"Rory? Doctor?" Amy asked, she looked over at Blake. "Where are they?"
"I don't know." Blake said, her hand on her hip. "Ruby? Weiss? Jared?"
"I'm Harvey. No. Who's Rory, Ruby, Weiss, and Jared?" Harvey asked, chasing after Amy and Blake. "Where are you going?"
Over the ridge, a series of eyepieces pop up and down from under the snow to look at the Doctor and I.
"Oh, ha, ha, ha." The Doctor said.
"R2D2 mixed with…" I said, when Carmen plays. "Carmen. Star Wars mixed with classical. Love it."
"Sorry, sorry. Pressed the wrong switch." Oswin said, her voice over the speaker.
"Soufflé girl?" The Doctor asked.
Room…
"You can always call me Oswin, seeing as that's my name. You okay?" Oswin asked.
"How are you doing that, eh? This is Dalek technology." The Doctor said, on screen.
"It's very easy to hack."
"No, it isn't." I said, on screen. "It's like trying to hack the Cardinal System. Or anything based off of it. Where are you?"
"The ship broke up when it hit. Somewhere underground, I think. You two coming to get me?" Oswin asked.
"Doctor?" Amy asked, over the speaker.
"Jared?" Blake asked, over the speaker.
The picture starts to break up.
"Hey! Oi! Soufflé girl!" The Doctor said, on screen.
"Damn." Oswin said, messing with the controls.
"Come back!" I said, over the speaker.
Snowfield…
"Doctor!" Amy said, happily.
"Amy! Blake! Hi." I said, smiling. "Where's the Roman, Little Red, and the Ice Queen?"
"There were three more beams. There. Over there. Are you the rescue team?" Harvey asked.
We ran across the snow.
Room…
"Hello?" Oswin asked.
Snowfield…
"Oh no." Blake said, looking down at the shaft. "This is like the investigation all over again."
A shaft has been drilled through the snow and rock.
"Where the Grimm breached Vale the first time." I said, grabbing Blake's hand. "Yeah…"
"Rory? Rory! Rory!" Amy said, looking down the shaft.
(Open POV)
Chamber…
Meltwater pours down the walls, and something green drips onto Ruby's face, waking her up.
"Rory, Weiss." Ruby said, pulling herself off the ground. "Oh, right."
There are lots of inanimate Daleks here.
"There's a lot of Daleks here." Weiss said, looking back at Ruby. "We have to be slow and steady here."
Rory touches a Dalek, but it doesn't respond so he pushes it away, "I guess this one is asleep, girls."
Snowfield…
"We came down two days ago. There's twelve of our escape pods. I don't know what happened to them." Harvey said.
"Alaska? That's the same ship as soufflé girl." Blake said, holding her Gambol Shroud.
Harvey opens a hatch covered in snow.
"Yeah. Except Clara, I mean, Oswin has been here a year." Jared said, holding Ebb and Flow in bow form.
Escape pod…
"We should have some climbing rope long enough for that hole." Harvey said.
"Won't you introduce us to your crew?" The Doctor asked.
"Ah, yes, sorry. Guys, this is the Doctor, Amy, Jared, and Blake." Harvey said.
"Blake, you have cat-like reflexes, can you hear them?" Jared asked.
No response.
"Heartbeats?" Blake asked, closing her eyes to concentrate before opening them.
"Guys?" Harvey asked.
"No…" Blake said, walking over to the crew who are desiccated corpses. "Oh, my god. That's why I couldn't hear anything."
The Doctor does a quick sonic scan.
"They're dead. All of them." Jared said, looking around the room. "How did I forget this? Belle, stay on guard."
"That's not possible. I just spoke to them. Two hours ago. We were doing engine repairs." Harvey said.
"You're sure about that, are you? Because I'd say they've all been dead for a very long time." The Doctor said.
"But they can't have been."
"Well, they didn't get in this state in two hours." Blake said, looking at the corpses.
"No, of course. Stupid me." Harvey said.
"Of course what?" Amy asked.
"I died outside, and the cold preserved my body. I forgot about dying."
Out pops the Dalek eyepiece.
Jared summoned an arrow and placed it on his bow, he pulled the string back and he stunned the body for a few seconds, "Amy, Blake, open the door."
"Come on, come on." Amy said.
Harvey is backed through a door that Amy manages to get open, then closes and locks again.
"Why won't this thing open?" Blake asked.
"Explain. That's what the two of you are good at. How'd he get all Daleked?" Amy asked.
"Because he wasn't wearing one of the wristbands." Jared said, looking down at his arm to see that his wristband is still there, and so is Blake's. "Love it. It's like the Nerve Gear, AmuSphere, the Augma, or the Soul Translator."
"The nanocloud. Microorganisms that automatically process any organic matter, living or dead, into a Dalek puppet. Anything attacks this place, it automatically becomes part of the on-site security." The Doctor said.
"Living or dead?" Blake asked, her eyes widening.
"These wristbands protect us. And for Jared, Ruby, Weiss, and Blake, the wristbands became an extra layer of Aura. The only thing stopping us going exactly the way he did…" The Doctor said.
"Doctor, shut up! Living or dead?" Amy asked.
"Yes, exactly. Living or, or…" The Doctor said, while the corpses have glowing eyepieces, and are starting to move. "...dead. Oh dear."
The Doctor kicks the zombies so he, Jared, Blake, and Amy can get into another room.
Cockpit…
"Oh, no, you don't." Jared said, pulling Amy's arm out of the zombie's grasp and seals the bulkhead door. "You're not getting her."
"Is it bad that I've really missed this?" Amy asked.
"Yeah. It is." Jared said, sadly.
"Good."
"I know. Blake, sorry about that."
Room…
"Unauthorised personnel may not enter the cockpit." Oswin said.
Cockpit…
"Shut up." The Doctor said, annoyed.
"Oh, Mister Grumpy." Oswin said, over the speaker.
Room…
"Bad combo. No sense of humour in that chin." Oswin said, smirking.
"Is that her again, soufflé girl?" Amy asked, on screen.
"Yup, it's Oswin. Mind if I call you Melly? Short for Melia." Jared said, on screen.
"Whatever you want, Watson." Oswin said.
"Thanks, Adler."
"Of course you two are flirting. Oi, what is wrong with my chin?" The Doctor asked, on screen.
"Careful, dear. You'll put someone's eye out." Oswin said, angrily.
Cockpit…
"Scanning you. You're in another of the escape pods from the Alaska, right?" Oswin asked, her voice over the speaker.
Room…
"Same ship I was on." Oswin said.
"How can you hack into everything? It should be impossible. Except for Yui Kirigaya, Kirito and Asuna's artificial intelligence daughter. Oswin, you're in a crashed ship!" The Doctor said, on screen.
"Long story. Is there a word for total screaming genius that sounds modest and a tiny bit sexy?" Oswin asked.
"Doctor. You call me the Doctor. And this is Amy, Jared, and Blake." The Doctor said, on screen.
"See what you did there." Oswin said, getting a beep on her console. "Check the floor. I'm picking up a breach at floor level. There could be a way out. See you later."
Cockpit…
"There's a hatch. I think it's been used." Jared said, studying the hatch. "Maybe they tried to block it off behind them."
"Can't imagine why." Blake said.
"The lower part of the pod is buried, so this must go straight down to the Asylum."
"Where Rory, Ruby, and Weiss are." Amy said.
"Speaking of Rory, is there anything you want to tell me?" The Doctor asked.
"Are we going to do this now?"
"What happened? Last time we saw you two. It was Christmas 2013." Blake said, looking back at Amy.
"Oh, stuff. You know. We split up. Like you did with Adam, Blake. What can any of you do?" Amy asked, looking at Blake.
"What can I do?" The Doctor asked. "To fix this. To bring you and Rory back together. Mr and Mrs. Pond."
"Nothing. It's not one of those things you can fix like you fix your bowtie. Don't give me those big wet eyes, Raggedy Man. It's life. Just life. That thing that goes on when you, Jared, and Team RWBY are not there." Amy said, looking at the Doctor.
Jared gets the hatch open, "Belle, first."
"Okay." Blake said, looking down below. "Got it."
A shaft heads down into the planet, with a flexible metal ladder hanging down it.
"Okay, so somebody else got out this way, then." Amy said.
"Yeah, let's go and find them." Jared said, smiling.
"Oh, hello, hello, hello. What are they up to?" The Doctor asked.
The zombies are on a small monitor on the wall, waving something at the camera.
"What's that?" Amy asked.
"One of these." Blake said, looking down at her wristband. "But where did they get it?"
They pulled it off Amy's wrist a few minutes ago.
"Blake, they got it from me." Amy said.
"Oh, Amy." Jared said, sadly.
"Doctor, Jared, what's going to happen to me? Seriously. Tell me what."
Chamber…
Rory is using the small penlight he always carries when he serves divorce papers on his wife, and Ruby and Weiss took out their Scrolls and turned on their flashlights to explore their surroundings.
"This place is weird." Ruby said, looking around the place.
Rory kicks a piece of metal, and a Dalek's eyepiece starts to glow.
"I find it more creepy." Weiss said, holding her Scroll.
"Shush." Rory said, while other Daleks start to boot up, too, making sounds. "What? Sorry, what?"
"Eg eg eg eg eg eg eg." The Dalek said.
"Eggs? You mean those things?" Rory asked.
"I don't think it means that." Weiss said, looking at the roundels on the Dalek's casing.
"Then what?" Rory asked.
Some have fallen off onto the floor.
"Maybe we can figure it out." Ruby said, happily.
"Egg." The Dalek said.
"I don't, I don't know what you want. Those things. Are those things eggs? This? You want this." Rory said, picking up the ball.
"Egg. Stir. Min. Ate." The Dalek said, and Rory drops the ball. "Exterminate."
"Exterminate." The Daleks said.
One weapon blast just misses Weiss.
"Where do we go?" Weiss asked, in the trail of rose petals.
Rory tries to run the gauntlet and Ruby uses her Semblance to turn into rose petals and carry Weiss in the process.
"I don't know." Ruby said, while using her Semblance.
"Emergency. Emergency. Exterminate. Exterminate." The Dalek said.
"Run! The door at the end, run for it. They're waking up, but they're slow. The door at the end. Just run. Now! Now! Now!" Oswin said, her voice over the speaker.
"Exterminate. Exterminate." The Daleks said.
"Okay." Weiss said, in the trail of rose petals.
The door rises up as Rory runs with a trail of rose petals behind him.
"Come on, come on…" Rory said, trying to keep up with the rose petals.
Rory slides underneath and it shuts behind him and the trail of rose petals in front of him.
Corridor…
"So, anyway, I'm Oswin. What do I call the three of you?" Oswin asked, her voice over the speaker.
"Er, I can't remember. Er, Rory. And this is Ruby and Weiss." Rory said, looking back at Ruby and Weiss.
Room…
"Lovely names, Rory, Ruby, and Weiss. First boy I ever fancied was called Rory." Oswin said.
"Okay." Ruby said, on screen.
"Actually, she was called Nina. I was going through a phase."
Corridor…
"Just flirting to keep you cheerful. It seems to work wonders on Jared. He might have a crush on me. I don't know." Oswin said, over the speaker.
"Exterminate. Exterminate." The Daleks said, nearby.
"Any time you want to flirt with us, it could be helpful." Weiss said, walking behind Ruby.
Another corridor…
The Doctor, Amy, Jared, and Blake are climbing down the ladder from the cockpit into another corridor.
"So tell me, what's going to happen to me? And don't lie. Because I know when you're lying to me and I will definitely fall on you." Amy said.
"The air all around is full of micro-machines. Robots the size of molecules. Nanogenes. Now that you're unprotected, you're being re-written." The Doctor said.
"So, what happens? I get one of those things sticking out of my head?"
"Physical changes come later." Blake said, sadly.
"What comes first? How does it start?"
"It starts with your mind. Then with your feelings and your memories. I'm sorry, but it has already started." Jared said, looking down at Amy.
"How do you know?" Amy asked.
"Because we've had this conversation four times."
"Okay, scared now."
"Hang on to scared. Scared isn't Dalek." The Doctor said.
Corridor…
Rory's torch starts to flicker.
"Hey there, beakie boy, crater face, and snow angel." Oswin said, her voice over the speaker.
"If it's a straight choice, I prefer Nina." Rory said.
"Loving this. The nose and the chin." Oswin said, her voice over the speaker.
Room…
"You two could fence. And there's a boy who hangs out with fairy tales. There's a door behind you." Oswin said.
The door rises and Rory, Ruby, and Weiss run through into a room with a large round platform in the middle.
"In there, quickly. Okay, you're safe for now. Beakie boy, pop your shirt off, quick as you like." Oswin said.
"Why?" Rory asked, on screen.
"Does there have to be a reason?" Oswin asked.
Chamber…
A door rises to let Amy, Jared, Blake and the Doctor into the place where Rory, Ruby, and Weiss met the Daleks.
"Rose petals." Jared said, looking down at the floor. "They were here."
The bad-tempered pepperpots are still repeating their favourite word some way away.
"Yeah." Blake said, putting the Gambol Shroud back inside its scabbard. "That's good at least."
The Doctor sniffs.
"What's that?" Amy asked.
They back out again.
Outside the chamber…
"Keep a look out. Don't open this door. Oswin!" The Doctor said, while Amy's head hurts. "Oswin, can you hear me?"
Room…
"Hello, the chin. I have visual on you." Oswin said, happily.
"Why don't I have a visual on you? Why can't I ever see you?" The Doctor asked, on screen.
"Limited power, bad hair, take your pick. There's a door to your left. Open it."
Outside the chamber…
"I'm going to send you a map to that screen. I put your little friends somewhere safe. I can get you to them." Oswin said, over the speaker.
Room…
"Rory, Ruby, and Weiss. You found Rory, Ruby, and Weiss?" Jared asked, on screen.
"I call Rory, Nina. And I call Ruby, crater face. I call Weiss, snow angel. Personal thing. Hush now." Oswin said.
Outside the chamber…
Amy looks through the transparent panels in the door and sees a man in a suit standing in the chamber.
"Who are you? Doctor? Jared? Blake?" Amy asked.
There are lots of people in the chamber now, men and women in various styles of dress from formal evening wear to a little red-haired girl in a ballet tutu.
"The Dalek Asylum is as bad as the Apathy." Blake said, looking at Jared.
Amy opens the door and goes into the chamber.
"Tell me about it." Jared said, letting out a sigh.
(Jared's POV)
Room…
"So, how many Daleks are ahead of us right now?" I asked, on screen.
"Ten, twenty." Oswin said.
Outside the chamber…
"Hard to say. Some of them are catatonic but they do have firepower." Oswin said, over the speaker.
"How do we get past them? I heard Amy enter the chamber!" Blake said, her cat ears moving back and forth.
Chamber…
"Shush. It's okay, it's just people in here. It's just people." Amy said, smiling.
"Amy, it's the nanocloud, it's altering your perception. Look again. Look again. Those aren't people." The Doctor said.
"They're Daleks." I said, grabbing Blake's hand.
Now Amy sees Daleks.
"Amy, Jared, Blake, come out. Amy, take my hand. Run! Run!" The Doctor said.
Corridor…
We run back to the rope ladder, which is moving under the weight of descending zombies.
"Look, they're coming down!" Blake said, looking up to see the zombies there.
"Yeah, they are, Blake." I said, looking down at my bow.
"Intruder." The Dalek said.
"Run."
"Intruder."
We hid in the cubby hole Oswin opened for the Doctor and me.
"Intruder." The Dalek said.
It runs out of power. We come out of the cubby hole again.
"It's damaged." Blake said, looking at the Dalek.
"Okay, but what do we do?" Amy asked.
"Identify me. Access your files. Who am I? Come on. Who's your daddy?" The Doctor asked.
"You are one of the Predators." The Dalek said.
"Access your standing orders concerning the Predators." I said, walking up to the Dalek.
"The Predators must be destroyed."
"How are you gonna do that, Dalek? You're the equivalent of a Symphogear wielder without their Armed Gear. So, how are you gonna destroy me and the Doctor?"
"Self-destruct initiated."
"What is it doing?" Blake asked, looking at me.
"It's gonna blow itself up. Me and the Doctor with it. That's the only weapon the Dalek has left." I said, shrugging my shoulders.
"Self-destruct cannot be countermanded." The Dalek said.
It's internal clock is down to 12. The Doctor lifts its lid and scans inside.
"I'm not looking for a countermand, dear. I'm looking for reverse." The Doctor said.
"Forward, forward." The Dalek said, whizzing backwards into the chamber, bumps into a colleague and blows up.
Teleport room…
"What was that?" Ruby asked.
The explosion is felt here.
"Oswin?" Weiss asked.
Room…
"What was that? That was close." Weiss said, on screen.
Chamber…
"Wow…" Ruby said, in awe.
Rory, Ruby, and Weiss run in to see the smoking remains of Dalek shells.
"There goes those Daleks." Weiss said, frowning.
"Oswin? What happened? Who killed all the Daleks?" Rory asked.
The Doctor enters from the other side with Blake and I, the Time Lord is carrying Amy.
"Who do you think?" The Doctor asked.
Teleport room…
I lay Amy on the teleport pad, and I placed my teleport bracelet on her. I knew that my music note pendant with wave patterns on top of my Aura would protect me fully.
"Will sleeping help her? Will it slow down the process?" Rory asked.
"You'd better hope so…" Oswin said, over the speaker.
Room…
"...because pretty soon she's going to try and kill you." Oswin said.
Teleport room…
"Amy." Weiss said, looking down at Amy.
"Ow." Amy said, lifting herself off the ground.
"Amy, are you still with us?" Ruby asked.
"Amy, it's me. Do you remember me?" Rory asked, and Amy slaps him. "She remembers me."
"Same old Amy. That's why she reminds me so much of you, Ice Queen." I said, smirking.
Room…
"Do you know how you make someone into a Dalek? Subtract love, add anger. Doesn't she seem a bit too angry to you?" Oswin asked.
Teleport room…
"Well, somebody's never been to Scotland." Amy said, scoffing.
"Oswin, what about you? How are you okay?" Ruby asked.
Room…
"Yeah. I want to know if this adventure is like the one I remember. Why didn't the nanocloud convert you?" I asked, on screen.
"I mentioned the genius thing, yeah? Shielded in here." Oswin said, happily.
(Open POV)
Teleport room…
"Clever of you. Now, this place. The Daleks said it was fully automated." The Doctor said.
"This place is a wreck." Blake said, looking around.
Room…
"Well, I've had nearly a year to mess with them, and not a lot else to do." Oswin said.
"We have a junior entertainment manager hiding out in a wrecked ship." Ruby said, on screen.
"She's busy hacking the security systems of the thing Jared despises most with the Doctor…" Blake said, on screen.
Teleport room…
"...which are the Daleks." Weiss said, looking at Jared.
"So, Oswin, I know you like to make soufflés." Jared said, walking over to Ruby. "Where do you get the milk…
Room…
"...to make the soufflés?" Jared asked, on screen.
Teleport room…
"Seriously. Is no one else wondering about that besides me and Jared?" The Doctor asked.
"No. Frankly, no. Twice." Rory said, annoyed.
"So, Doctor, Jared." Oswin said, over the speaker.
Room…
"I've been looking the both of you up. You two are all over the database. Why do the Daleks call you the Predators?" Oswin asked.
"I'm not one of the Predators, I'm just a man with a plan." The Doctor said, on screen. "Ruby and Jared are also two with plans."
"You've got a plan?" Oswin asked.
"I'm not one of the Predators either, I'm a fanboy who loves adoring the stuff he is into." Jared said, on screen.
"What are you into?" Oswin asked.
Teleport room…
"That's all they are." Rory said.
"There's a nose joke going if someone wants to pick that one off." Amy said, angrily.
"I have a plan." Ruby said, smiling.
"What is it?" Jared asked. "I don't remember it fully."
"We need to destroy all of the Daleks in this Asylum…" Ruby said.
"Okay, then what?" Weiss asked.
"We could rescue Oswin from the wreckage."
"You're right. She has been trapped here for a year." Blake said.
"We also have to escape the planet." Jared said, smirking.
"Oh, right. Want to fix Amy and Rory's marriage?" Ruby asked.
"I'm all for that too, Little Red."
"You two figured out my plan in the span of a couple seconds…" The Doctor said, his eyes widening. "Wow."
"Okay, I'm counting three lost causes. Anyone else?" Amy asked.
"Oswin, there's a Dalek ship in orbit." Blake said.
"Yes. Got it on the sensors…" Oswin said, over the speaker.
"The Asylum has a forcefield. The Daleks upstairs are waiting for me and Jared to turn it off. Soon as we do, they'll burn this whole world and us with it." The Doctor said.
Room…
"So, Oswin, I like you a lot. I really do. So, how fast can you drop the force field?" Jared asked, on screen.
"Pretty fast. But why would I?" Oswin asked.
"Um, I think this is a teleport. Am I right?" Ruby asked, on screen.
"Yeah. Internal use only."
Teleport room…
"I can boost the power. Once the forcefield is down, I can use it to beam us right off this planet." The Doctor said.
"You said when the forcefield is down, the Daleks will blow us up." Blake said.
"So, we'll have to be quick!" Jared said, excitedly.
"Fine, we'll be quick. But where do we beam to?" Amy asked.
"The only place in range of us. The Dalek ship."
"They'll exterminate us on the spot!" Weiss said, angrily.
"Ah, so this is the kind of escape plan where the both of you survive about four seconds longer." Rory said, looking between the Doctor and Jared.
"What's wrong with four seconds? You can do a lot in four seconds. Like Ruby using her Semblance to get to any place she wants nearby. Oswin, how fast can you drop the forcefield?" Jared asked.
Room…
"I can do it from here, as soon as you and the Doctor come and get me." Oswin said.
Teleport room…
"Nope, you can drop the force field and come to us." Jared said.
Room…
"There's enough power in that teleport for one go. Why would you wait for me?" Oswin asked.
Teleport room…
"Because I'm trying to become a hero of justice. Why wouldn't I not want to save you?" Jared asked.
Room…
"No idea. Never met you, Jared. Sending you a map so you and the Doctor can come get me." Oswin said.
Teleport room…
"This place is crawling with Daleks." Rory said.
Room…
"Yeah. Kind of why I'm anxious to leave. Come up and see me sometime." Oswin said.
Teleport room…
"So, are we going to go get her?" Rory asked.
"I don't think that we have a choice." Ruby said, sadly.
"Okay, as soon as the forcefield is down, the Daleks will attack. If it gets too explody-wody in here, you go without me and Jared, okay?" The Doctor asked.
"And leave the both of you to die?" Weiss asked.
"Don't worry about me and the Doctor." Jared said, smiling. "You guys are the ones getting beamed up to a Dalek spaceship to get exterminated."
"Fair point. Love this plan. What about Amy?" Rory asked.
"Keep her remembering, keep her focused. That'll hold back the conversion." Jared said, looking at Rory. "If you don't know what to say, you have Ruby, Weiss, and Blake to help you."
"What do I do?" Amy asked.
"You heard what she said. They're subtracting love. Don't let them." The Doctor said.
Corridor…
The Doctor and Jared make their way carefully.
"Emergency. Emergency. Prepare to be annihilated. Emergency. We are the Daleks. We are the Daleks." The Daleks said, nearby.
Teleport room…
"So, what are we gonna do about Amy and Rory?" Weiss asked.
"I don't know." Ruby said, sadly.
"Maybe have them talk things through." Blake said. "It could work."
"It isn't going well." Weiss said.
"What can we do?" Ruby asked. "We need to help Jared."
"He said for us to stay here."
"It's arithmetic. It'll take longer with me because we both know, we've always known, that. Amy, the basic fact of our relationship is that I love you more than you love me, which today is good news because it might just save both of our lives." Rory said, looking at Amy.
"How can you say that?" Amy asked.
"Two thousand years, waiting for you outside a box. Don't say it isn't true, you know it's true. Give me your arm. Amy!" Rory said, angrily.
Amy slaps Rory, "Don't you dare say that to me. Don't you ever dare."
"Amy, you kicked me out."
"You want kids. You have always wanted kids. Ever since you were a kid. And I can't have them." Amy said, letting out tears.
"I know."
"Whatever they did to me at Demons Run, and since Jared had the information they needed, I can't ever give you children, and him wanting to try and change things will only cause a paradox. I didn't kick you out. I gave you up."
"Amy, I don't…"
"Don't you dare talk to me about waiting outside a box, because that is nothing, Rory, nothing, compared to giving you up."
"Just give me your arm. Let me put this on you. Just give me your arm!"
"Don't touch me!"
"How did that get there?" Weiss asked.
"I don't know." Ruby said, frowning.
Amy is already wearing a wristband.
"I think it's Jared's. Maybe when Amy was sleeping…" Blake said, letting out a sigh.
"That fanboy. What's the betting he doesn't even need it." Amy said.
"Why didn't he just tell us?" Rory asked.
Amy sees Jared playing with his hands on a monitor.
(Jared's POV)
Corridor…
"Oswin, I think we're close." I said, walking behind the Doctor.
Room…
"You are. Both of you. Less than twenty feet away. Which is the good news." Oswin said.
Corridor…
"So, what's the bad news?" I asked.
Room…
"You and the Doctor are about to pass through Intensive Care." Oswin said.
Intensive Care…
"Shit. A fuck ton of Daleks." I said, looking around the place.
The Daleks here are in cages.
"What's so special about this lot, then?" The Doctor asked.
"Don't know." Oswin said, her voice over the speaker.
Room…
"Survivors of particular wars. Spiridon, Kembel, Aridius, Vulcan, Exxilon. Ringing any bells?" Oswin asked.
Intensive Care…
"All of them." I said, sadly. "I encountered them with the Doctor and my friends."
"Yeah? How?" Oswin asked, over the speaker.
"These are the Daleks who survived us." The Doctor said.
"Doctor. Jared." A Dalek said.
"Doctor. Jared." Dalek 2 said.
"Doctor. Jared." The Daleks said.
Room…
"That's weird. Those ones don't usually wake up for anything." Oswin said.
"Yeah, well…" The Doctor said, his voice over the speaker.
Intensive Care…
"We're special visitors. The door won't open, but we can't be too far away from you." I said, frowning.
Room...
"Hang on. Not quite sure. There's a release code. Let me just…" Oswin said.
Intensive care…
"...anything out there?" Oswin asked, her voice over the speaker.
"Nope." I said, walking behind the Doctor.
Room…
"Hang on, I'm trying to think." Oswin said.
Intensive Care…
"I guess this Dalek is armless." I said, laughing a little.
One Dalek has been disarmed, literally, and chained up.
"Doctor. Jared." The Dalek said.
It breaks its chains.
"Doctor. Jared. Doctor. Jared." The Daleks said.
"Oswin, get this door open." The Doctor said.
Room…
"Oswin, open this door!" I said, my voice over the speaker.
"I can't!" Oswin said, angrily.
Intensive Care…
"Oswin." The Doctor said.
The Daleks are closing in.
"Oswin! Please!" I said, terrified.
Room…
"Just get this door open!" I said, my voice over the speaker.
Intensive Care…
"Oswin! Oswin, please! Get this door open! Help us!" The Doctor said, worried.
"Oswin!" I said, grabbing the Doctor's hand. "Hurry!"
A plunger is heading for the Doctor's face and a plunger is heading for my face.
"Stop!" The Doctor said.
The Daleks stop, then turn away.
"Oh, that is cool." Oswin said, her voice over the speaker.
Room…
"Tell me I'm cool, chin boy, Robin Hood." Oswin said, happily.
Intensive Care…
"The hell did you just do? It's been a long couple days for me. Barely got any sleep." I said, sadly.
Room...
"Hang on, I think I've found the door thingy." Oswin said.
Intensive Care…
"Nope, I want to know what you did." I said, squeezing the Doctor's hand.
"The Daleks, they have a hive mind. Well, they don't, they have a sort of telepathic web." Oswin said, her voice over the speaker.
"The path web, yeah."
Room…
"I hacked into it, did a mass delete…" Oswin said.
Intensive Care…
"...on all the information connected with the Doctor and Jared." Oswin said, her voice over the speaker.
"You made them forget me and Jared?" The Doctor asked.
Room…
"Good, eh? And here comes the door." Oswin said.
Intensive Care…
"Finally!" I said, smirking.
The door rises.
"I've tried hacking into the path web. And Jared had Yui and Kirito try hacking into the path web. When he couldn't do it himself. Even the four of us couldn't do it." The Doctor said.
Room…
"Come and meet the girl who can. Hey, you're right outside. Come on in." Oswin said.
"Oswin, we have a problem." I said, on screen.
"No, we don't. Don't even say that. Joined the Alaska to see the universe, ended up stuck in a shipwreck first time out. Rescue me, chin boy, Robin Hood, and show me the stars."
"Does this look real to you?"
"Does what look real?"
"Where you are right now."
Padded cell…
"Does it feel real?" I asked, grabbing the Doctor's hand.
Room…
"It is real." Oswin said.
"It feels real to you because it's a dream to you, Oswin. You dreamed that world for yourself because the truth was too terrible. Someone must have made you play Sword Art Online, ALFheim Online, or Gun Gale Online." I said, sadly. "Because I've seen that world on television. This world, the one where I travel with the Doctor. I was never there for it. All this was a show on the television for me."
"Where am I?" Oswin asked.
Padded cell…
A Dalek has chains draped over it.
"Where am I? Where am I?" The Dalek asked.
"Because you are a Dalek." I said, looking at the Dalek. "I knew the whole time. I just kept quiet about it. This is why I hate having foreknowledge about things."
Room…
"I am not a…" Oswin said.
Padded cell…
"...Dalek. I am not a Dalek!" The Dalek said.
Room…
"I'm human." Oswin said.
Padded cell…
"You were human when you crashed here. It was you who climbed out of the pod. That was your ladder." The Doctor said.
"Where am I? Where am I? Where am I?" Oswin asked, in a memory in my head.
Room…
"You mean?" Oswin asked.
Padded cell…
"Human." The Dalek said.
"Not any more. Because you're right. You're a genius. And the Daleks need genius. They didn't just make you a puppet, they did a full conversion." The Doctor said.
Room…
"Where am I? Where am I? Where am I?" Oswin asked, in a memory in my head.
"Oswin, I'm sorry. I really am sorry. I wish I could save you. I do. But you are a Dalek." I said, on screen.
"The milk, Oswin. The milk and the eggs for the souffléss. Where, where did it all come from?" The Doctor asked, on screen.
"Eggs. I'm human. I am not a Dalek, I am human. I am not Dalek, I am human!" Oswin said, in a memory in my head.
Padded cell…
"Eggs." The Dalek said.
"This world isn't real. It was never real. It's as fake as a floating castle in the sky, a World Tree, a post apocalyptic world, and the Underworld. But the memories and emotions I feel in there are real as long as I'm there." I said, looking at the Dalek.
"I am a Dalek. I am a Dalek." Oswin said, in a memory in my head.
"Eggs." Oswin and the Dalek said, at the same time.
"Stir. Min. Ate." The Dalek said.
"Oswin." I said, looking at the Dalek.
"Eggs."
Room…
"Stir. Min ate." Oswin said.
Padded cell…
"Exterminate." The Dalek said.
"Oswin. No, no, no, Oswin. Oswin." The Doctor said.
"Exterminate!"
"Oswin, you don't have to do this. You don't have to kill me and the Doctor. Please, I love you! I'll love you!" I said, squeezing the Doctor's hand.
"Exterminate!" The Dalek said.
Room…
"Oswin!" I said, on screen.
Oswin is crying, "Why do they hate the both of you…"
Padded cell…
"...so much? They hate you two so much. Why?" The Dalek asked.
"We fought them so much." I said, sadly.
"We have grown stronger in fear of you and the Doctor."
"I know, I tried to stop doing it. The Doctor too. We need companions to stop us from taking things too far."
Room…
"Then run." Oswin said.
"What did you say?" The Doctor asked, on screen.
"I've taken down the forcefield." Oswin said, typing away on the keyboard.
Padded cell…
"The Daleks above have begun their attack. Run!" The Dalek said.
Room…
"Oswin, are you…" I said, on screen.
"I am Oswin Oswald. I fought the Daleks and I am…" Oswin said.
Padded cell…
"Human! Remember me." The Dalek said.
"Thank you." The Doctor said.
"Thank you, Oswin." I said, squeezing the Doctor's hand. "I really appreciate it."
"Run!" The Dalek said.
The Doctor and I run as the bombardment starts.
Room…
"Run, you clever boys. And remember." Oswin said.
Teleport room…
"How long can we wait?" Rory asked.
"The rest of our lives." Amy said.
"Agreed."
"What took you so long?" Weiss asked.
The Ponds kiss as things go bang around them.
"Where's Oswin?" Blake asked.
The Doctor and I run in.
"We couldn't save her." I said, looking between the Ponds. "Okay, the Ponds made up. That's good. We're good. We saved the day."
"Let's go. Ugh. Really? Do they have to kiss for that long?" Ruby asked.
"Oh, for God's sake." The Doctor said.
The Doctor takes the control unit from Rory and activates it.
"Can't believe you made us fall into a breakup subplot." Weiss said, looking at me.
Nothing appears to happen.
"I know, I know." I said, annoyed. "Sorry."
Missiles streak in and the entire planet goes KaBOOM!
"I forgive you." Weiss said, smiling.
Parliament…
"The Asylum is destroyed." The White Dalek said.
"Incoming teleport from Asylum planet. We are under attack." A Dalek said.
"Prepare to defend. Defend. Defend!"
"Explain, Dalek Supreme." The Dalek PM said.
"You know, you guys should really have seen this coming. The thing about me and teleports, I've got a really good aim. Pin-point accurate, in fact. Or, to put it another way…" The Doctor said, over the speaker.
The Doctor and I look out of the Tardis door.
"Suckers! You should have killed us when you had the chance!" I said, smirking.
"Identify yourselves. Identify. Identify." The Dalek said.
"It's us. You know me. The Doctor. The Oncoming Storm. One of the Predators." The Doctor said.
"And you know me too. Jared Shay. The Storyteller. The fanboy. The other Predator." I said, looking around the room.
"Titles are not meaningful in this context. Doctor who? Fanboy of what?" Darla asked.
"Doctor who? Fanboy of what?" Dalek PM asked.
"Doctor who? Fanboy of what?" The Daleks asked.
"Oh, Oswin. Oh, you did it to them all. You beauty." The Doctor said.
"That's why I love her. Or will love her." I said, looking at the Doctor.
"Doctor who? Doctor who?" The Daleks asked.
"Fellas, you're never going to stop asking." The Doctor said.
The Doctor shuts the door after he and I entered the blue box and the Tardis dematerialises.
"Doctor who?" The Daleks asked.
(Open POV)
Street…
Amy and Rory wave goodbye as the Tardis dematerialises, then she goes indoors.
"Yes! Yes!" Rory said, smiling.
"I can see you." Amy said, nearby.
"Okay."
Tardis…
The Doctor dances as he sets the controls. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Jared are sitting on the TARDIS steps.
"Doctor who. Doctor who. Doctor Who!" The Doctor said, excitedly.
