A/N: I cried while writing this!! Listen to Do You Know Your Enemy by Green Day while reading this.
Rose's POV
It was looking at me. It was looking at me. It was freaking looking at me!!! "It was looking at me." I voiced. "Yeah, it wants to slaughter us." Adam dismissed. "I know, but it was looking right at me." I tried. "So? It's just a sort of metal eye thing. It's looking all around." Adam breathed. "I don't know. It's like there's something inside, looking at me, like, like it knows me." I finished.
The Rebel's POV
"On my mark. Open fire!" The commander shouted, as they all fired at the tin can.
"We've got vision." Goddard said, clicking on a part of the screen. "It wants us to see." I sighed.
The hail of bullets had no effect. The Dalek started to rise straight up into the air. It zapped the fire alarm and the sprinklers are set off. Once the concrete floor was covered with a layer of water, it fires downward and electrocuted every wet person on the ground.
"Fall back! Fall back!" The commander yelled to the remaining troops. The Dalek exterminated him and the rest of his men with another strategic shot, then continued to hang there, water pouring down its shell, crying in the rain.
"Perhaps it's time for a new strategy. Maybe we should consider abandoning this place." Van Statten broke the silence. "Except there's no power to the helipad, sir. We can't get out." Goddard said, reminding her boss. "You said we could seal the vault." I recalled. "It was designed to be a bunker in the event of nuclear war. Steel bulkheads-" He droned. "There's not enough power, those bulkheads are massive." Goddard countered. She really knew how to ruin a good train of thought. "We've got emergency power. We can re-route that to the bulkhead doors." The Doctor jumped in.
"We'd have to bypass the security codes. That would take a computer genius." Goddard rolled her eyes.
"Good thing you've got me, then." Van Satten looked at us all. "You want to help?" I said astonished. "I don't want to die, Rebel. Simple as that. And nobody knows this software better than me." He smirked. "The minute I thought you weren't modest." I rolled my eyes.
"Sir." Goddard interrupted. The Dalek was facing us on the screen. "I shall speak only to the Doctor and Rebel." It announced in it's annoying voice.
"You're going to get rusty." I came up to the screen.
"I fed off the DNA of Rose Tyler. Extrapolating the biomass of a time traveller regenerated me." It said. I'll admit, that was smart.
"What's your next trick?" The Doctor wrapped his hand in mine.
"I have been searching for the Daleks." It screeched.
"Yeah, I saw. downloading the internet. What did you find?" The Doctor continued, me staying silent.
"I scanned your satellites and radio telescopes."
"And?"
"Nothing. Where shall I get my orders now?" It droned on and on, voice pounding into my head like needles and drums.
"You're just a soldier without commands." I said, without thinking.
"Then I shall follow the Primary Order, the Dalek instinct to destroy, to conquer."
"What for? What's the point? Don't you see it's all gone? Everything you were, everything you stood for." The Doctor got closer to the screen.
"Then what should I do?" It asked.
"All right, then. If you want orders, follow this one. Kill yourself." The Doctor spat.
"The Daleks must survive!" It chanted.
"The Daleks have failed! Why don't you finish the job and make the Daleks extinct. Rid the Universe of your filth. Why don't you just die?" He couldn't stop, He just kept running his mouth.
"You would make a good Dalek." It said after a minute.
At this, I turned the screen off quickly and tried to calm the Doctor down, stop him from doing something very rash.
"Seal the Vault." He turned to Van Statten. "I can leech power off the ground defences, feed it to the bulkheads. God, it's been years since I had to work this fast." Van Statten smiled. "Are you enjoying this?" I scoffed.
"Doctor, she's still down there." My eyes widened as I thought of Rose and Adam.
I quickly picked up a desk phone and punched in Rose's number. "This isn't the best time." Rose breathed. "Where are you?" The Doctor took the phone from my hands. "Level forty nine." I heard.
"You've got to keep moving. The vault's being sealed off up at level forty six." I swiped the phone back.
"Can't you stop them closing?" Rose asked.
"He's the one who's closing them. He won't wait and I can't help you." I sighed.
"Now for God's sake, run." I ordered her.
The Dalek is at level fifty one.
"Done it. We've got power to the bulkheads." Van Statten announced. "The Dalek's right behind them." I said.
"We're nearly there. Give us two seconds." Rose told me. She was so close! They were just a few corners away.
"Doctor, Rebel. I can't sustain the power. The whole system is failing. Doctor, you've got to close the bulkheads." Van Statten said the dreaded.
"I'm sorry." I whispered to Rose.
The Doctor hit Enter. A klaxon sounded and the bulkhead started to lower.
"Come on!" I heard Adam.
"The vault is sealed." Van Statten said. "Rose, where are you? Rose, did you make it?" I interrogated, not wanting to loose another friend.
"Sorry, I was a bit slow." She said finally, making a tear fall down my face.
