Alex: Previously On Doctor Who:
He goes over to the toilet in his cell & takes out a device, it bleeps.
Dr Khan: They. They are in orbit.
He laughs.
-They are coming!
Quira: What?
Dr Khan: They are coming & when they do... there will be hell. to. play.
He laughs as he takes a device out of his pocket.
Quira: Get down! Get down!
People get down.
Dr Khan: May you rest in hell.
He laughs, he presses the button as the courtroom explodes.
The Doctor hugs Alex, however she fades away.
The Doctor: Oh.
Kora: Oh indeed.
The Doctor: Hologram... pretty nasty trick if you ask me.
Kora: Yeah well I didn't.
The Doctor: Where is she?
Kora: You'll never know.
Alex: Let me go!
Kora: Our grand plan has only just begun Doctor.
The Doctor: Our?
Kora: Our.
Suddenly a roaring sound is heard, a ship docks on top of a building.
Kora: Whoever they are I can guarantee you that we know nothing about them.
The Doctor: I've not seen a ship like that for a very long time.
Kora: Doctor! Who. Are. They?
The Doctor: Drahvins.
NOW:
Kora: Drahvins?
The Doctor: A species you don't want to mess with. They are dangerous.
Kora: Worse than the Daleks?
The Doctor: Might as well be.
On top of the satellite tower:
The ship opens, a woman steps out, multiple woman follow her.
Lorna: I am Lorna, leader of the 501st Drahvin battle fleet & New Earth will be mine!

DOCTOR WHO
THE COLLAPSE OF NATURE
WRITTEN BY SVETLANA POPOV
One week later:
In the hospital:
Quira: Since Lorna & her battalion have taken over, the city has been quiet.
Chloe: Yes. It's been very quiet here in New London.
Quira: They've taken The Doctor's TARDIS... so I'm stuck here. Meanwhile our friend is somewhere out there & we can't help her.
Chloe: Must be tough.
Quira: No kidding.
Lorna enters the room.
-Lorna. How are you?
Lorna: Good until I saw you, your friend requests to see you?
In a prison cell:
Quira: Doctor!
The Doctor: Quira! Thank god!
Quira: Where's Kora?
The Doctor: Hiding.
Quira: What do we do? Do we get rid of the Drahvins?
The Doctor: I don't know, I'm locked in a cell there's not a lot I can do right now.
Quira: Maybe I could try something? An assassination perhaps?
The Doctor: Don't even try it Quira, Lorna has her battalion members everywhere. I know of some kind of plan of there's, did you bring my sonic screwdriver?
Quira: Here.
She sonics the door, it opens, The Doctor & Quira run.
The Doctor: Lorna has some kind of device that she intends on using to turn the planet into some kind of battleground.
Quira: Battleground?
The Doctor: Basically, a wasteland.
Quira: Oh my god.
The Doctor: They're at war with The Sontarans & if they bring the Sontarans to New Earth, then there's no way out. For anyone.
Quira: How do stop them?
The Doctor: You get to the hospital, I'll try & do this myself.
Quira: You sure?
The Doctor: Yes.
The alarm blares, The Doctor sonics it, it turns off.
In the satellite tower:
Lorna examines a machine.
Lorna: With this, I will turn this sordid rock into a battleground so we can go into combat against The Sontarans!
The Doctor: No you will not.
Lorna: Doctor! Backup! Immediately!
The Doctor: Don't even try it, I disabled your coms system.
Lorna: You really are pathetic aren't you Doctor, you haven't changed since Maaga encountered you in that little spat with the Rills,
The Doctor: Good old Maaga, sounds like someone's jealous.
Lorna: Me? Jealous?! Don't be so ridiculous! That useless old bat was a joke.
The Doctor: Sounds like your trying to prove something, are you?
Lorna: Yes. As a matter of fact. I am.
The Doctor: Oh, this is interesting!
Lorna: I am Maaga's granddaughter & intend to live up to her legacy.
The Doctor: & that's why your doing this? How pathetic. All this to show off.
Lorna: With this machine Doctor, I will turn this rock into a wasteland for war!
The Doctor: You & who's army?
Lorna: Mine.
She presses a button on the machine, the earth shakes.
The Doctor: What is that thing?
Lorna: You see Doctor, this little gadget of mine is connected to the core of this sordid little rock.
The Doctor: It's an Earth-Rupture-Inducer.
Lorna: Correct.
The Doctor: It'll take a ring of the core of this Earth & will swallow anything that gets in it's way.
In the town centre:
A black hole appears in the centre of the town, swallowing a park & multiple people, people begin to run as the hole moves around.
In the satellite tower:
The Doctor: Turn it off!
Lorna: No. You will stand with us Doctor as the planet you love so much is destroyed.
A TV screen blares.
The President: This is President Charles Apple-Berry Clintwood Beta Smythe coming to you live with a warning & a message. An Earth engulfing hole has spawned in the town centre & is slowly destroying New London with other capitals like New New York, New Tokyo, New Dublin also expected to be destroyed. And now, a personal message from myself. Residents of New Earth, please remain calm, the end has arrived, we. cannot. save. you.
The screen blares.
In the hospital:
The hospital shakes.
Quira: What now?
Chloe: I don't know.
Quira looks out the window.
Quira: Oh my god!
Chloe runs over.
Chloe: It's like it's an earthquake!
Quira: Or a sinkhole.
Chloe: It's swallowing up buildings!
Quira: It's gonna come for us eventually.
Chloe: What do we do?
Quira: Evac.
Chloe: What?
Quira: Get the patients into-
She looks down.
Chloe: Quira?
Quira: The thing that's caused this, it was the Drahvins, that hole is going to ruin the whole planet. There's no way out.
Chloe: Oh my god.
Quira: This planet is going to basically be inverted with all the buildings, humans, animals to be pulled into the core of the planet whilst Lorna uses what's left to fight.
Chloe: All these people.
Quira: I'm sorry but-
She tears up.
-Our times up.
Quira runs out of the room.
Chloe: Quira! Quira!
Outside of the room:
Quira slumps down by the wall, she cries.
In the satellite tower:
The Doctor: Stop this Lorna! Can you not bring the fight to The Sontarans?! On Sontar?!
Lorna: Their planet is armed with Sontaran defence, one Drahvin war ship & they'll shoot us down.
The Doctor: I'll take it that it's programmed so it won't touch you.
Lorna: Naturally.
The Doctor: Ok then, I'll just have to bring the fight here.
Lorna: Ha! No chance!
The Doctor: What's stopping me?
Lorna: The tower is now guarded by my soldiers.
The Doctor: How do you fight fire?
Lorna: What?
The Doctor: With fire! You fight fire with fire! Yes!
The Doctor sonics Lorna's blaster.
-I just programmed your blaster to backfire, no pun intended on you if you pull that trigger & now I'm gonna create another hole to engulf the other to snap it shut.
Lorna: You can't!
The Doctor: You try & stop me!
The Doctor sonics the machine, the ground begins to rumble.
In the city:
Another hole erupts & goes in the direction of the other hole.
In the hospital:
Chloe: There's another one!
Quira: I'm sorry Chloe.
She hugs her.
In the city:
The second hole engulfs the first one.
In the satellite tower:
Lorna: No! No!
The Doctor: Your plans are over & now I will transport you back to your ship & it will be deadlocked sealed until the Judoon come along & arrest you.
Lorna: Arrest us? For what?
The Doctor: Endangering another species in an act of war.
Lorna: What?! You can't do that! The Judoon can't do t-
The Doctor: Bye bye!
The Doctor sonics Lorna, she disappears.
In a tower:
The Doctor comes across the TARDIS.
The Doctor: The TARDIS! Thank god!
Kora: My TARDIS!
The Doctor: You.
Kora: You will not have my TARDIS Doctor!
The Doctor: Yeah well something has happened to mine, what exactly I don't know.
Kora: This will be my TARDIS once more.
The Doctor: After I've found Alex you can have it back.
Quira comes in.
Quira: The TARDIS!
Quira goes to enter it.
The Doctor: Quira!
Quira runs in, Kora holds a blaster up, Quira screams as a laser hits Kora's TARDIS door, The Doctor kicks it out of her hand.
Kora: You!
Kora lunges at The Doctor, The Doctor pushes her down & enters the TARDIS.
In the TARDIS:
Quira: We get Alex back now!
The Doctor: Agreed.
Quira: Did you find her?
The Doctor: Hologram but it was generated via DNA which meant she can't have been far, so I checked for Timelord life signs & there were 3, one was me, one had to be Kora, who knows who the 3rd would be.
Quira: So you have a trace of Alex & another Timelord that's not Kora?
The Doctor: Correct, so if I programme the TARDIS tracking system to trace them both, you'll find that-
She squints at the screen, Quira raises an eyebrow.
Quira: Those two red dots there.
The Doctor: That's Alex & another Timelord, coordinates are dodgy though.
Quira: Is it The Master? The Rani? Another version of Kora?
The Doctor: I don't know.
In the Nun's TARDIS:
Alex is being kept in a chamber sedated.
The Nun: Alex... oh Alex, we're going to have fun with you.
The Nun clicks her fingers in her face, Alex wakes up, The Nun laughs in her face, she screams.End of episode.
NEXT TIME:
Smyth: I don't believe it! The upgrade is nearly complete!
A machine pumps air onto a bed-like unit, Smyth walks over to a control panel, he pushes some buttons.
-Please.
The bed-like unit moves up, making a gushing noise with air shooting out of it.
-Human 0.2 rise!
He turns around, a robot sits up.
-Cyberman! I am your master!
Cyberman 1: I obey.
Smyth: Your alive! Your alive!
The Cyberleader picks Quira up by the neck & slams her down into the conversion unit.
The Nun begins to press buttons.
The Doctor: No!
The Cyberleader laughs.
Cyberman 1: You will become like us!
Alex screams.
The alarms go off, The Nun laughs maniacally.
Interface: Nuclear reactor going into meltdown.
The Doctor cries.
The Doctor: Your killing them! Stop this now!
Kora: Mother. Father.
The Doctor: I'm sorry. I am so sorry.
Alex: Doctor!
She screams.
