The Littlest Timelord: Blast from the Past

Chapter 15

"These humans will become like me. Prepare them for hybridization," Dalek Sec said. 

The Doctor snuck behind some equipment, while the pigmen grabbed onto Martha and the others. 

"Leave me alone! Don't you dare!" Martha screamed. 

Music started playing. 

"What is that sound?" Dalek Sec asked. 

The Doctor came out from behind the equipment. "Ah, well, now, that would be me." He set a radio down and walked up to Dalek Sec. "Hello. Surprise. Boo. Et cetera." 

"Doctor."

"The enemy of the Daleks."

"Exterminate." 

"Wait!" 

"Well, then. A new form of Dalek. Fascinating and very clever." 

"The Cult of Skaro escaped your slaughter." 

"How did you end up in 1930?" 

"Emergency temporal shift." 

"Oh, that must have roasted up your power cells, huh? Time was, four Daleks could have conquered the world, but instead you're skulking away, hidden in the dark, experimenting. All of which results in you." 

"I am Dalek in human form." 

"What does it feel like? You can talk to me, Dalek Sec. It is Dalek Sec, isn't it? That's your name? You've got a name and a mind of your own. Tell me what you're thinking right now." 

"I feel humanity." Dalek Sec turned away from the Doctor. 

"Good. That's good." 

"I feel everything we wanted from mankind, which is ambition, hatred, aggression and war. Such a genius for war." 

"No, that's not what humanity means." 

"I think it does. At heart, this species is so very Dalek." 

"All right, so what have you achieved then, with this Final Experiment, eh? Nothing! Because I can show you what you're missing with this thing. A simple little radio."

"What is the purpose of that device?" 

"Well, exactly. It plays music. What's the point of that? Oh, with music, you can dance to it, sing with it, fall in love to it. Unless you're a Dalek of course. Then it's all just noise." The Doctor soniced the radio and it let out a high pitched sound that caused the Daleks and the pigmen pain. 

"Run!" The Doctor led everyone back into the sewers. "Come on! Move, move, move, move, move!" 

They found Tallulah wandering around. "And you, Tallulah! Run!" 

"What's happened to Laszlo?" Tallulah asked. 

They found the ladder and ushered everyone up. 

"Come on! Everyone up! Come on!"

They led everyone back to Hooverville. 

"These Daleks, they sound like the stuff of nightmares. And they want to breed?" Soloman asked. 

"They're splicing themselves onto human bodies, and if I'm right, they've got a farm of breeding stock right here in Hooverville. You've got to get everyone out," the Doctor explained. 

"Hooverville's the lowest place a man can fall. There's nowhere else to go." 

"I'm sorry, Solomon. You've got to scatter. Go anywhere. Down to the railroads, travel across state. Just get out of New York."
