The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

First Time Pt. 4

Darkness loomed over the silent rubble of London as Theodore led the Resistance fighters as they're searching for the command centre of the Daleks in this sector. Once they do, they'll have to find their way inside the areas, from the outside in, and avoid the prevalent guards roaming the parameters.

Clay warned that they have aerial support on top of ground troops, they'll have to watch every corner and skies above as he led his men while Lila trailed behind Theodore.

Pulling on his collar, Theodore walked through the uneven terrain as he felt the wet stones scrap against his trouser legs, the smell of burning rubble overtook his sense of smell as he maneuvered in the darkness, the others behind him.

Without sources of light, it's nearly impossible for them to move, but Theodore kept their spirits up. How that is, Lila assumes part of his strange alien charm, and it worked for the most part. Clay and his men didn't panic as much when Theodore calmed their nerves.

Lila struggled to walk through the darkened area as it felt like the ground gave under her every time, she walked over it, amazing she kept her head, as there's plenty of steel beams and whatever else slanted at their level from the explosions.

Coming over the edge of a steep incline, Theodore halted them as he sees the Daleks flying in the air, they've reached shy of the rim before the inner area where there's heavy presence of Daleks and their brainwashed servants.

Ducking as the Daleks fly overhead, Theodore surveyed the darkened area, seeing movement from both Dalek and servant, before he caught sight of someone standing near a pile of rubble at the corner below the edge.

Quiet, slim, it seemingly looked directly towards Theodore, he felt eyes on him, but something about it, it gave him goosebumps. In his mind, he tried to rationalize it as one of the servants for the Daleks, but nothing came to mind, that he needed to go down there, with the others behind him.

He didn't want to initially, but he felt the urge and its strong enough that he couldn't ignore. Turning his head towards Lila, he asked her if she sees the figure near the rubble, and when she moved ahead to see, the figure's gone.

Now curious, Theodore and them slowly made their way down the incline, trying to avoid the uneven terrain below, and the weakened cement.

Heading towards the pile, Theodore looked around, not seeing anyone around, and he's sure he saw someone standing near it.

"Hey, look!" Clay whispered.

Showing Theodore as he moved the rubble away from the spot, Clay pointed at a hole.

Lila asked where it led, but Clay didn't have an answer, but he thinks it's their shot to avoiding the Daleks and their servants.

Wearily, Lila recoiled, but here's Theodore, so causally jumping into the hole, and there's an audible thud, as he called up to them, telling them that it's safe down there.

Clay and his men went down first, but Lila stayed up top, uneasily looking into the hole.

Oh yeah, because nothing ever goes wrong going into a dark hole that nobody knows where it goes, surely!

... Okay, maybe it's just her heightened senses since it's darker than licorice out, but Lila's feeling a strong feeling that she had to go down there.

Not Theodore, not the Daleks, not their servants, but just a general feeling that something's prodding her to jump into the hole.

Another thing, it felt like it's breathing down her neck, that Lila instinctively turned her head, but there's no one behind her.
