Doctor Who: Volume 7

Episode 5: Evolution of the Daleks

"Dalek Caan isn't it?" "CORRECT!" "So, I'll start by asking how you lot survived Liv" "EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT!" "Right, of course" "what's that?" Liv asks "essentially teleporting to a different point in time, it's a survival strategy" "WE HAD TO SURVIVE!" "Well of course you did, you're Daleks.. So, what's this experiment?" "WE ARE CREATING A NEW RACE, OF DALEK-HUMAN HYBRIDS" "that's not like you lot.. You all LOVE purity, despise mutation" THAT IS CORRECT, BUT WE HAVE TO DO WHAT WE MUST TO SURVIVE!" "Right, well I'm sorry to say but we're gonna stop you.." I whip out the TARDIS key and summon it around me and Liv..

Inside, I merely say to Liv "got any ideas?" "We stop the Pied Piper first.." "Yes but how?" "Well, we look at the book" she rushes off to the assortment of books in the console room and fetches back the book "he freed the town of the plagued rats.. That doesn't offer much" "but perhaps it does.. In a way I'm not overly fond of" "go on.." "We kill the Dalek-Humans.. I don't fancy it but it's a killing two birds with one situation isn't it?" "The Piper would be free of his promise to the Daleks and the Daleks would be without their new army.." "Bingo! I mean- the way I see it, they're not even people anymore.. Whatever they are, maybe we should put them out of their suffering?" "That's conflicting, but I agree.." "Let's go then.." We step back out, the hybrids surrounding the TARDIS "so is this all of them?" "INDEED, DOCTOR! HYBRIDS, KILL THEM!" They all begin to fire their weapons but me and Liv are unaffected "the second we knew you lot were here we activated our Etrobine shields!" "KEEP FIRING!" Dalek Caan commands but I simply let out a signal with the sonic that incapacitates them all "come on!" Me and Liv run over to a computer terminal and I plug in the sonic "kill command.. Cuts the feed of them all" Liv puts her hand on mine "like you said, we can't let the Daleks have an army, nor should we let them keep on living like this.." I solemnly nod and input the command..

"HOW DARE YOU!" Dalek Caan objects "I could go one step further.. I could kill you all too.. The Cult of Skaro.." "EXTERMINATE!" Dalek Caan doesn't hesitate to shoot me but it does nothing at all. I smirk and input the command, we watch as Dalek Sec, Jast and Thay explode in a display of fire and sparks yet somehow.. Caan survives. "How?!" 'insufficient power' the terminal merely displays to my dismay "right.. Gonna have to do this one myself.. Just need to create a feedback loop" "ARE YOU SO CRUEL, DOCTOR?!" "Maybe, I mean.. Why should I show you lot any mercy?! You never did! Not to my people! Not to the entire damn universe!" "AND YET, YOU HESITATE" "of course.. In the whole wide universe.. Just one left.." "I WILL SURVIVE! AND RISE AGAIN! EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT!" He proclaims before vanishing in a white light..

Liv puts her hand on my shoulder as I scoff a little "one day.. One day I'll be rid of them" "either way, we stopped most of them, and solved the Hooverville mystery" I smile a little before she then says "come on, let's go home.."
