The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

On Midsomer's Nightmare Pt. 6

Boris found a pin lying on the ground as they walked through the wide area filled with different coloured pipes leading into other parts of the plant with large computers from the 70's lining areas with scattered papers left on the desk.

Studying it, he found that the pin came from Camp Alpha, he sees the symbol etched into reclaimed metal. There's a number underneath the letter, denoting the years the person served under the camp, underneath that, there's a name etched.

Gunther.

He showed this to Cyrus, studying it with awe, as they came to the realization that the team entered the power plant.

Vodka noted that they haven't seen any signs of the team, but Cyrus thinks they're further ahead.

Meanwhile, Theodore and Lila scrounged for anything useful for their plan, but only found papers, only when Lila went digging around the desk of a worker, she found a packet of unused matches near the packet of cigarettes.

"Think it'd work?" Lila looked towards Theodore with them in her hands.

Theodore thoughtfully touched where his chin would've been before saying that they'll need something more, but it's a start. He implored her to take them along and she did, stowing them away in the satchel she borrowed from the camp.

He grabbed sheets of paper, as a start, and he worked with Lila searching for anything else, until they heard shuffling noises coming from somewhere near the rows of pipes.

A bright light flashed them and a horrible scream as a disheveled man appeared out of nowhere, his gaunt pale face easily mistaken as a monster, his gas mask missing, having hid deep within the row of pipes that nobody spotted him until he came out of hiding, wielding a gun in his other hand.

"No!" The man shrieks as he wielded his gun tightly as he flashed his torch on Theodore and Lila, "you're not taking me! You're not taking me!"

He's incoherent, under the effects of advanced radiation poisoning, sustained after losing his gas mask and failing to procure another one, his pale skin covered with black veins as they pushed against his thinned skin, blood dripping from his ears and nose.

Immediately, Theodore grabbed Lila, flinging them to the ground as he covered her with his body, flinching while hearing the man open fire on the wall behind them, hitting the pipes until one bore a hole with steam coming out of it.

"He's here! I see him! The devil! He walks among us!" The man wept incoherently as he wailed that the devil walked among them, attempting to claim his soul, too, and he's forced to the ground by Boris and Vodka who disarmed him, while Artyom and Cyrus helped Theodore and Lila up from the ground away from the steam as it shot out from the hole in the pipe.

The man wept as Boris and Vodka restrained him, Cyrus went up to him, demanding who he is and what became of the other members from Camp Alpha.

In between weeping, the man babbled that the Devil lured them away, he's the only one left, and he's certain the Devil's coming for him, next.

"He's coming," the man whimpered as he dropped his torch, it landed with a loud thud, as he sat against the pipes behind him. "He's coming, he's coming to take you away!"

Regaining his composure, Theodore spoke up, wanting to know more about what the man's talking about, despite Boris thinking the man's brain having seizures due to the radiation, tumors forming from the exposure, causing delirium.

The man looked towards Theodore with his empty eyes, his gaunt face skeletal, before telling him that the Devil's coming, and he's coming for him.

"He walks among you, haunting you, watching, waiting, for the right time," the man wept as he tells Theodore about the Devil.
