The Doctor hated daleks. He hated them with every fiber of his being. And were it not for the onslaught of said creatures spilling through the portal from hell and into the church filled with innocent people he'd be very cross with Missy for having set up a bloody attack like this.
Missy had decided that, considering her appearance it would probably be best for her to dispatch as many daleks as she could while the Doctor got the church-goers to safety. Of course she was taking her own precautions. She wanted this to be a spectacle big enough to get the big angel upstairs to pay some mind. So, She purposefully let a few daleks slip through, allowing them to 'exterminate' a few fleeting human lives. Few dead. Dozens of daleks. And an angel and a succubus fighting side by side would surely catch his attention.
The Doctor seemed to notice her very intentional mistakes though, after the second person hit the ground. He shot her a glare from across the room as he moved to hurry his work and get everyone out of the church.
The daleks were persistent little buggers not relatively easy to kill, for someone of his caliber at least. He swung his blade, dispatching the closest dalek and sending it screaming into a puff of black smoke. It was painful really, when he thought about where these creatures came from. They were the souls of the damned, altered by Davros to be the perfect weapon in his war against humanity and all things pure. Or flawed in his opinion. Emotions were often seen as a weakness to demons, and the pride sin was the ring leader of that notion.
As the Doctor defended the doors to the church the last human was finally pushed to safety. Missy had taken precautions before the daleks attacked to set up sigils that would keep them inside of the church. He'd been rather impressed considering he wasn't even aware that such a thing was possible. But he supposed Missy had worked closely with the demons in the past. If anyone knew how to trap and kill one it would be her.
He quickly joined Missy's side, the two of them taking out dalek after dalek. The church was filled the the strangled screams of the semi-gelatinous demons. Before long they were making their retreated as an all too familiar crippled demon came through the portal. Davros held up his hand, calling of the creatures. "Koschei. What are you doing?" He asked glaring down the succubus.
"I didn't mean for you to kill a whole church full of people!" She hissed.
He let out a laugh, amused. "Ah how far you've gone from your true purpose. Normally you wouldn't care about a few human lives."
"I don't." She spat, noticing the doctor shooting her a glare out of the corner of her eye. "But he does. Our deal had stated for you to cause an uproar. Not butcher a bunch of humans."
He merely shook his head. "Perhaps. But that was the easiest way to get their attention." He backed away slightly, nodding to a place behind them.
They spun around to see an angel, in its full holy glory standing behind them. "I'll be making my leave now. Good luck, Koschei." Davros laughed, retreating back to hell, his daleks following him.
The Doctor's words seemed to catch in his throat as he stared at the angel in front of him. He knew her. She had been a human... His partner... And now here she stood in front of him as an angel. How...?
"Rose..." He muttered under his breath but the angel didn't pay much mind to the name.
Missy glanced at him for a moment then back to the blonde angel standing before them, her off-white wings stretched out and she seemed to have a glow to her.
"Theta... Koschei..." She began, her eyes shifting between the Doctor and Missy. "Back together again. How quaint."
Missy quickly caught onto what was going on. Rassilon wasn't stupid. Of course he'd send a messenger first. And to ensure said messages safety they had taken the form of one of the Doctor's loved ones. Whoever Rose was.
"Rassilon has a message for you." She stated as if on cue.
"Rose what happened.. How...?" The Doctor began but Missy grabbed his arm before he could go any closer.
"Doctor, don't. That's not your friend. Angels can take the face of others when necessary. Clearly she's just doing that for her own safety." She tried to explain to him.
"Rassilon wants the two of you to stop." The angel continued, ignoring the Doctor's questions. "He says that he will spare your life if you continue to do his work in taking out the unsavory demons. Starting with the seven deadly sins." At this her eyes darted to Missy, as if accusing her of something. She was clearly only speaking to the Doctor at this point. "Fail and you will both die."
Missy opened her mouth to spit out an insult but the Doctor had beaten her to it. "Tell Rassilon he can shove it." He growled, his hand falling to grip Missy's. "And if he wants us dead, he will have to come do it himself."
The Rose look-a-like let out a slight chuckled, shaking her head. "I will inform him of your decline of his offer." And with one beat of her giant wings she was gone.
At least they had his attention now. Even if he was out for blood.
