Aura: PREVIOUSLY ON DOCTOR WHO:
The Doctor: The Time War. One of the worst space wars in history. Planets died. People died. Millions of races were wiped out. I was at the middle, I saw it all. Death. War & Destruction. I was a coward, I never tried to help & I still feel guilty about those who lost their lives in the war. I am The Doctor & I will never forget the time war.
The Doctor exits the TARDIS, she can see a war zone around her, a bomb falls, The Doctor flies, she screams & lands hard.
-What?
She looks around her.
-This is Gallifrey during the time war!
Man: Doctor, you are to come with us.
The Doctor: Who? What? I-I
A bag is placed over her head & she is carried away.
-Let me go! Now!
Aura: Now Doctor, you understand why you've been brought here don't you?
The Doctor: & you are?
Aura: I am Aura, protector of the gates of Arcadia.
The Doctor: Ah I see. Hang on shouldn't you be at the Gates?
Aura: It has been taken.
The Doctor: By who?
Aura: The Daleks.
The Doctor gulps, she walks over the window, she sees Daleks & multiple Timelords running from & after each other.
The Doctor: That's my planet.
Romana: Our planet.
Joura: We must fight.
Rassilon: Our technology compared to the Daleks' technology is way too advanced.
Romana: We could make our own race of Daleks.
The Doctor: Romana, pardon me if this sounds rude, but have you lost your mind?
Romana : The Daleks have used corpses to make Daleks before right?
The Doctor: In a manner of speaking yes.
Romana: We have multiple dead Timeords as well as multiple Dalek mutants squelching around the wasteland outside of the city.
The Doctor: We could reprogram the mutants.
Aura: Alright.
Rassilon: What?
Aura: Doctor, you, me & Joura shall go into the wastelands to find Romana ourselves some mutants. Lord Rassilon & Romana you are to stay here & protect the Panopticon from siege.
Rassilon: Have you lost your mind?
Aura: No, this is sense Lord Rassilon, something you've never had.
The Doctor, Aura & Joura press buttons on their vortex manipulators, they all disappear, Romana walks over to the window.
Rassilon: Do us proud Doctor.
A Dalek mutant squeals, The Doctor throws a net over it.
The Doctor: Got one.
Romana: Doctor! The panopticon has been breached!
The Doctor: Breached?! By who?!
Romana: The Daleks!
The Doctor: Oh no.
Romana: You must not return! The Timelords' hope has been lost forever! The Daleks have taken over Gallifrey! We're all done for!
Romana & Rassilon run down a corridor, A bronze Dalek appears.
Dalek 1: You will be exterminated!
Romana & Rassilon try to run the other way, a black Dalek appears.
Black Dalek: You are our prisoners! You shall cooperate or you will be exterminated!
The Doctor, Joura & Aura run through the wasteland, multiple Daleks surround them.
Dalek 2: Holt!
Dalek 3: You are prisoners of the Daleks!
Supreme Dalek: You will follow our orders!
The Doctor: I think not!
Supreme Dalek: Handmines activate!
Multiple hands with eyes emerge from the floor, grabbing The Doctor, Aura & Joura's ankles.
Aura: Doctor!
