SIX:
In the TARDIS:
6th Doctor: Are You ok? All of that terrible business with Davros must've shaken you.
Mel: I'll deal with it. I suppose that that is something that you must have to come to terms with when travelling in the TARDIS.
The 6th Doctor smiles.
6th Doctor: Quite so.
The Doctor pulls a lever.
Mel: Doctor?
The TARDIS begins to dematerialise.
6th Doctor: Yes, Mel?
Mel: Do you think that we'll ever run into The Valeyard again?
6th Doctor: You know, I'm not entirely sure.
Mel: What would happen if we did?
6th Doctor: Total obliteration I suppose.
Mel: Hm. Fancy a go on the quad bike?
6th Doctor: No thank you.
Mel: Glass of carrot juice?
6th Doctor: Definitely not!
The TARDIS materialises.
Mel: Shall we see where you've bought us this time?
The 6th Doctor smiles.
6th Doctor: Hmph, yes.
Mel: So! Where have you landed us this time?
6th Doctor: A holiday cruiser.
Mel: Ah! Finally! A holiday.
On The Galaxar Cruiser:
The TARDIS materialises, The 6th Doctor & Mel step out.
Mel: I thought you said this was a holiday star liner... where is everyone?!
6th Doctor: I don't know... and it's a cruiser!
He screams.
Mel: Doctor?! Is it your heart?! Are you having a heart attack?! I told you that you should use the bike more often! Also drinking 5 glasses of carrot juice a day-
6th Doctor: No! It's not that! It's-
He looks up.
-Something is wrong. Something is wrong with my personal timestream.
Mel: What?! What is it?!
6th Doctor: My memories! They're being altered!
Mel: Altered?! Altered how?!
6th Doctor: Totter's Lane! 1963!
He screams.
-Ah! Ah!
The Doctor shoots The First Doctor, Barbara screams.
Alex: Stop it!
The First Doctor begins to regenerate, The Doctor shoots him, he stops his regeneration & closes his eyes.
The Doctor: Come along Alex.
6th Doctor: I... I kill myself?
Mel: Doctor! Will you make sense?!
6th Doctor: That's the thing Mel! I can't make sense of it!
He holds his hand up, it begins to fade.
-Oh...
Mel: What?!
6th Doctor: I'm beginning to fade from history...
Mel: What?!
6th Doctor: All of me... every single incarnation... I'm being erased from history... incarnations from the future... and ones from... my past?
Mel: What do I do?!
6th Doctor: Run to the TARDIS at once!
Mel runs to the TARDIS, it's gone.
Mel: It's gone!
6th Doctor: Mel... I'm so so sorry.
The Doctor appears.
The Doctor: & so am I.
6th Doctor: What?!
Mel: Who are you?!
Alex: Doctor! Stop it! Now! Stop! Just stop this! This is madness!
Mel: Doctor?!
The Doctor shoots the 6th Doctor, he falls.
-Doctor! You killed him!
The Doctor: & now I'm gonna kill you.
THE OTHER:
In the junkyard:
The Doctor locks the door.
-(voice) Let me out!
The Doctor walks away.
Alex: Doctor! Let her out!
The Doctor: My. work. here. Is. Done.
In the TARDIS:
The Doctor & Alex walk in.
Alex: What the hell?!
The Doctor: Where to now?
Alex: Do you know what you've done?!
The Doctor: Yep!
Alex: You've destroyed yourself!
The Doctor: My every intention.
Alex: I can't believe you, your ridiculous.
The Doctor: Oh well.
Alex: I wanna go home. That's if I even have a home to go to, what even is gonna happen?! Killing your past self at the start of your 'journey' won't that mean that the Daleks destroy all life?
The Doctor: Maybe... maybe not... I don't know. Yes? No? Tomorrow? Yesterday? Today? Who knows!
She laughs.
-Who cares!
Alex: Take me home!
The Doctor: What?
Alex: I wanna go home, I am not staying here with you a second longer.
Alex storms out.
The Doctor: The scenic route?
Alex: (voice) Do what you want!
The Doctor: Scenic route it is.
On a spaceship:
The TARDIS materialises.
In the TARDIS:
The Doctor: Alex doesn't trust me, she thinks I breach her safety, I need to prove she's safe with me. I need to show her safety.
She smiles.
-I'm gonna kill The Nun.
On the ship:
Alex: It's not Earth.
The Doctor: Nope. A star liner.
Alex: An abandoned one at that...
The Doctor: Yes.
The Nun: It's mine.
Alex: No! Stay back!
The Doctor: It's ok, Alex.
Alex: What?! It's The Nun! She's gonna hurt me! Get her away! Please!
The Nun: Welcome to my home... your room down the corridor is yours, Alex. Remember all the fun you & I had?
Alex: Get away from me!
The Doctor: Does she scare you?
Alex: Do you even remember what she did to me?!
The Doctor: Y-yes.
Alex: You hesitated... why?
The Doctor: I-I
Alex: What's happened to you?
The Doctor clicks her fingers, Suddenly a white light flashes.
The Nun: Welcome to my home... your room down the corridor is yours, Alex. Remember all the fun you & I had?
Alex: Get away from me!
The Doctor: Does she scare you?
Alex: Do you even remember what she did to me?!
The Doctor: Yes! Of course!
Alex: Then you know the answer... don't you?
The Doctor: So... she does scare you?
Alex: Yes! God! What is wrong with you?!
The Doctor: Then I suppose I could just kill her.
Alex: What?!
The Doctor: She's bad... so she has to die.
Alex: & then you'll be just as bad as her!
The Doctor: Oh? Ok, then why don't you do it yourself?
Alex: What?
The Doctor positions Alex in front of her & forces the gun into her hand, she forces her finger on the trigger.
-Doctor! Stop it! Stop! Please!
She cries.
-Please!
The Nun: What has happened to you? Alex... right now I believe that you would be safer with me than you are with her. Since her regeneration she is different... she is... unrecognisable... not the same!
The Doctor places a hand on Alex's head.
Alex: Why should I listen to you?! Everything The Doctor stands for is right! You're evil! What you did to me! I've been waiting for this moment for a. Very. Long. Time.
She squeezes the trigger.
-It's been a long time coming.
The Doctor takes her hand of off Alex's head.
The Doctor: Do it.
Alex: Do what?
The Doctor: Bang!
Alex screams & pulls the trigger & shoots The Nun, she screams.
Alex: What did I do?! I killed her!
The Doctor: She got what she deserved! She'll regenerate & when she comes round they will know not to mess with you again.
Alex: Get away from me.
Alex runs, The Doctor rolls her eyes & runs after her, in the distance the sound of the TARDIS materialising is heard.
The Doctor: Ah... time to wipe another incarnation.
She smiles.
6th Doctor: I'm beginning to fade from history...
Mel: What?!
6th Doctor: All of me... every single incarnation... I'm being erased from history... incarnations from the future... and ones from... my past?
Mel: What do I do?!
6th Doctor: Run to the TARDIS at once!
Mel runs to the TARDIS, it's gone.
Mel: It's gone!
6th Doctor: Mel... I'm so so sorry.
The Doctor appears.
The Doctor: & so am I.
6th Doctor: What?!
Mel: Who are you?!
Alex: Doctor! Stop it! Now! Stop! Just stop this! This is madness!
Mel: Doctor?!
The Doctor shoots the 6th Doctor, he falls.
-Doctor! You killed him!
The Doctor: & now I'm gonna kill you.
Alex: Doctor!
Alex kicks the gun out of her hand.
Mel: Doctor?
Mel looks into The Doctor's eyes.
-Those are not the eyes of The Doctor.
Alex: What?
6th Doctor: She's right... that...
He coughs.
-That is The Valeyard!
The Valeyard smiles.
The Valeyard: Surprise, Surprise.
Alex: What?!
The Valeyard: When the volcano erupted, I was severely burned & regenerated, The Doctor was safe... and so I kidnapped her. And now... my grand plan is reaching a climax. Time to destroy you. Both of you.
Alex: Run.
Alex & Mel run.
Mel: To where?!
Alex: The TARDIS!
Mel screams as a laser hits her chest.
-No!
Look What You Made Me Do by Taylor Swift plays.
Alex: What did you do to The Doctor?!
The Valeyard: Oh Alex, is it not obvious?
Alex: Tell me!
The Valeyard: I'm sorry... but The Doctor is dead.
Alex runs to the TARDIS.
-You can run, you can hide, but I'll catch up with you eventually, Alex.
In the TARDIS:
She slams the door shut & runs to the console.
Alex: Get us out of here!
The TARDIS begins to dematerialise as She cries.
