The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

First Time Pt. 5

Looming over him with his sunken eyes, tubes stuck out from the back of his head towards the inner chambers of his chassis as liquid flowed back and forth as he rested his arms on the edges.

Skaro, one of the most feared Dalek known to anyone fortunate enough to survive to tell the tale.

"No," Theodore quietly said as he stepped back in shock at the sigh, his footsteps echoing through the grated floor.

His father said he died.

He was sure of it!

Skaro stared into his icy blue eyes with amusement as he responded irately, "You...!"

Lila looked between them as she's watching the scene unfold before her. Theodore looked stunned at the sight of Skaro and Skaro none too happy about the encounter, either.

Almost impossible, Theodore told her that Skaro died in a war between two Dalek factions. His father certain of this, he instigated the war himself, hoping to destroy Skaro's influence over a region of space.

He thought it'd work, after the war, he didn't see any trace of Skaro and believed the Supreme finally died.

One of the most dangerous of Daleks, Skaro lived a long torrid life, he survived many coups against him, and managed to build an empire on a planet. He even named it after himself, just because he survived for so long, he felt it appropriate.

Oh yes, Skaro ruled that planet from sun up to sundown, amazing he kept it around long enough before the war waged between his faction and the opposing forces.

Theodore's father once mentioned that out of all the Daleks he fought against, Skaro's the most competent of them all, and that frightened him more than anything, that he felt relieved when he thought the Dalek died in the war.

"You're dead!" Theodore tried to say as he looked at the Dalek Supreme as he shifted in his spot, looking at Theodore with his sunken eyes.

Skaro replied with, "Dead to some, a blessing to others!"

Even with those raisin eyes, Lila sees the hate fuming from them, as he then asked, "Is he still alive?"

It caught the two off-guard, but Theodore recovered as he wanted elaboration to Skaro's question, but the Dalek Supreme laughed at him, instead.

"Just like I thought," Skaro didn't hesitate throwing shade towards Theodore. "You're nothing like him."

It's enough to cause Theodore to raise his voice as he demanded answers from Skaro, but the Dalek Supreme wasn't at all fazed by his outburst, Lila holding Theodore back.

Behind, the two heard Clay and his men overwhelmed by the Daleks as Theodore shouted at Skaro. Lila couldn't hold him back anymore, as he pulled away to step closer to the Dalek Supreme.

Skaro didn't blink at Theodore's outburst and instead kept calm, it's enough that Lila managed to yank Theodore back towards her to tell him, "I think the jig's up!"

Somehow, Lila didn't think Skaro saw Theodore as his father and instead he's seeing Theodore as is, which due to the state of his clothes not matching his father's, would be suspect to a Dalek Supreme that allegedly died from a war staged by the man.

"It's impossible!" Theodore found it hard to believe Skaro doesn't see him as his father, he has his father's trademark eyes and nose, his smile!

Lila pointed out, "The one time you don't wear those dusty clothes."

Oh, yes, perhaps if he continued to wear his father's clothes, perhaps he had a chance, but Lila reminded him that even then, there' still a chance that Skaro sees through his ruse.
