Doctor Who New Worlds Season 1

Episode 9 - Corruption of the Judoon Part 3: Prison Break in Space

With the Doctor locked up within the depths of the Judoon's prison cells. Amy and Rory had to find a way of breaking him free. Amy's great idea was to capture the key from an unsuspecting Judoon while learning more about their plans, break the Doctor out and have a quick escape. Rory didn't really like the idea because it involved a lot of risk, but then again, so was most of the Doctor's decisions. 

Rory agreed to the idea and naturally, they began to execute it. Amy peaked around the corner to check that nobody was standing there. There wasn't. They both revealed themselves to the emptiness of the room before continuing, slowly, up through the library until the corridor that the Doctor had been torn across.

The Doctor, meanwhile, was sitting down in the dumps inside his galactic cellar. He had relied on the attempts of Amy and Rory, if they remain alive, to come along and save his life but he couldn't rely on that for long. The Judoon are very intelligent - they would've been spotted at this point. He devised a plan. He could live hundreds of years. hundreds and hundreds. He could try and cut through the indestructible metal bars - they'd have to break eventually. Or he could use his regeneration energy to break out, but he was in his final incarnation, he can't regenerate - but they don't know that.

"Hey!" yelled the Doctor. He was trying to gain the attention of a local armed guard. At once, a Judoon pushed himself forward and carried himself towards the Doctor's cell. the creature sighed and asked the Doctor in a tough voice what he wanted.
"Let me out" the Doctor exclaimed.
"No." replied the Judoon in a deep, deep voice.
"Why" asked the Doctor, his face pondering.
"You have to serve your sentence, You have no bargaining chip." replied the Judoon in the same face, as if it was a robot told what to say.
"Let me out or I'll create an explosion so big it'll kill us both. Literally" requested the Doctor in a dark manner. He was sure the deception would work.
"No." spoke the Judoon, confidently. The plan had failed.

Meanwhile, Amy and Rory were still travelling down the corridors, very quietly, whispering to each going over the plan. They finally, after walking through mazes of pathways (left, right, left, left, right, forward, right) following clues they had heard from the Doctor like whistling and shouting, reached a point where they could see the back of the Judoon talking to the Doctor. The Doctor, although disappointed that the Judoon said no was surprised and happy that the couple had found him but had to keep a facade of sadness. Amy indicated to Rory to remain silent as she elected herself to be the one to capture the Judoon's keys - which were hanging silently from his back pocket. 

Although for once, Rory didn't feel content with his wife taking the duties. Rory felt that with his nursing abilities, being quite precise was a hidden skill of his. While clumsy sometimes, he could achieve this duty and had increased his doctor knowledge since last times the Doctor saw him. Amy and Rory had a quick discussion - away from earshot - about what to do. Amy agreed to distract the guard while Rory grabbed the keys and allow the Doctor to escape. 

Rory stood and cuddled the walls and he pushed through into the room with the Doctor's cell. He moved to the right of the Judoon, where his back was while Amy moved left. Immediately, the Judoon saw Amy move into his viewpoint. He jumped forwards and spoke quickly,
"State your name and purpose" in a demeaning manner. His eye's hypnotic but it had no effect.
Rory slid his hand and slowly confiscated the keys from the alien's pocket. He grasped them securely making sure not to jingle them and slotted them into the key. He was too clumsy however, hitting the actual metal and electrocuting himself slightly, he let out a small cry.

This led attention to the guard who quickly turned to his right. In Rory's swiftness, he redeemed the situation by having slotted the key and unlocking the lock by the Judoon's turn of head. The Doctor immediately pushed the door opening. The electricity stored in the door and the Doctor's sudden push of it in the Judoon's direction had sent enough amps and volts to make the alien jump back in reaction - not on his own accord. Amy nearly caught it in her hands but it hit the ground - hard. The Doctor and his faithful companions knew this would be the perfect time to escape.

The Doctor recommended that Rory give the keys to him in case he needed it and explained that the Judoon was only knocked out. He also explained that the Watchers of the Universe, from their previous adventure, was involved in some way. The Judoon had become corrupt. Red in the eyes. Evil pursuit. The Doctor, running - sprinting even - down the corridors holding the companions in both hands could catch the keys and when Rory threw them, did a stylish hit on the knee and catch in the teeth. Then twitching his head to right while moving his body slightly to the right, revealing his pocket with the keys hitting and entering the target. 

The reached the original room with the TARDIS still in the centre. they all had a pause of relief but then continued to reach the doors. The Doctor clicked the doors open with his fingers to let his companions in. Amy went in first, at the permission of Rory - then followed the latter. Just as they entered, the Doctor saw the Shadow Architect along with many Judoon personnel. He had his legs crossed, very relaxed in his position - as if to mock them.
"Needing me?" asked the Doctor, his eyebrows raised and in a joking way. The Shadow Architect was raised in anger, there was red in the eyes like the Doctor predicted. the Shadow Proclamation had been seized but escape was close.
"Looks like I'm fighting this war on my own..." spoke the Doctor. The Shadow Architect ordered the Judoon to catch the Doctor. They ran at fall speed. He flashed a smirk and ran into his TARDIS, slamming then locking the doors.

The Judoon smashed and bashed the TARDIS doors but to no avail. the familiar wheezing noise occurred and the TARDIS began to disappear. The Watchers of the Universe had failed to capture the Doctor a second time. a war that would continue.

Where would the Watchers of the Universe go next to try and capture the Doctor? The Doctor was on his home, the Universe compromised. What is he to do? Surely they'll follow him wherever his goes so he believes that with many lucky escapes, he can formulate a plan.

(To be continued in Episode 10 - Infinity Day)
