The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

First Time Pt. 2

Crumbling buildings, burning piles, smoldering remains of vehicles, greeted Lila and Theodore as they're cautiously walking through the destroyed city. There's an early silence that deafened them and the only ambiance's the crackling fires that still burned. Only ones there, it reminded Lila of an episode on an old show she watched, but as she sees the destroyed library, obliterated to the very foundation, only on her mind that she's thankful she doesn't need glasses.

"How long do you think it took?" Lila asked as she glimpsed to the rubble of concrete adjacent to her.

Theodore shrugged his wide shoulders as he told her that it depended on how the Daleks wanted their invasions. Some wanted total annihilation and they'd just drop nukes and be done. Enslaving worlds, it'd take precision on their part in order to avoid killing everyone they wanted. It's known that they'll kill everything that disobeyed their orders, so it's up in the air, if there's any semblance of humanity left in this world.

Wouldn't past him at Zero Hour, the inhabitants ended up surrendering to the Daleks, unable to match their firepower.

Usually, his father cuts them down to size, seizes their opportunity of escaping and contacting others, destroy them at their core, and if there's anyone alive at the end of it, they're able to rebuild.

If they're not lucky and they're victims of the Daleks cruel experimentation, it's better them dead, then surviving as whatever monstrosity the Daleks left them as before Theodore's father intervened.

"They experiment, too?" Lila eyed him curiously.

Nodding, Theodore said, "Some of them do. Some of them can't even bother. The ones that do, usually just want to turn others into more Daleks."

Most Daleks wouldn't waste their time experimenting on other alien races. In their very core, they want to annihilate and destroy. Experimenting isn't an option to them. Meanwhile, there's some who sought experimenting to an end, a way to gain an upper hand against enemies, such as Theodore's father. Ruthless, they'll kidnap anyone unlucky and turn them into grotesque monstrous things one hoped never aware what they're reduced into.

Surprisingly, for Daleks, they're divided over this. One half doesn't see the use in experiments while the other half did. Like Daleks before, they'll turn on each other for their respected ideologies and henceforth. That couldn't be said anywhere else.

A house divided, there's been numerous Supremes believing one or the other, never both, and if they did, they're coy when they speak of it around their subordinates.

Common having coups where the opposing Daleks seek the Supreme's removal, permanently, and unless they're quick, most don't survive it, and Daleks aren't above torturing their own when it comes to this sort of thing.

It's amazing they've survived this long having not destroyed themselves. Theodore's father's correct, they really are cockroaches. They'd kill each other over pettiness and there's still a colony evoking control over a planet.

Unlike cockroaches, they don't run when the light suddenly turns on in their presence, but they don't survive without their heads. Hard to say which smells worse, them or the cockroaches, but at least the Daleks already live in their own rubbish cans when a Doctor comes through and destroys them.

"So, what'll you think happen if someone finally does destroy them for good?" Lila inquired what sort of repercussions, if any, for the permanent destruction of Daleks.

Theodore told her plenty of times there's a balancing act with these things and if it goes one way, more often or not, it does become a problem down the line, and needed rebalancing.
