Doctor Who/Thunderbirds: Leader Of The IronSword

Scene 5 - Shadow Proclamation

The Whoniverse, the Shadow Proclamation. The Judoon ship has returned, carrying the TARDIS on board with the Doctor and Rose. The long corridors for the Proclamation. The Judoon Captain leads the way, stomping through and ordering where the Doctor and Rose need to go. More Judoon follow alongside and behind them, almost as though they were prisoners.

Rose:

Very white here.

Doctor:

Yep. Never quite been had the honour of being escorted by Judoon.

Rose:

I know! Mental! So, you never actually explained what Judoon were properly.

Doctor:

Outer space police. No pun intended, but they're the outer space police. A single-minded, mercenaries outer space police force. Thick as two planks of wood, no offence intended. Just out to serve justice and the law pretty much. Just don't get on their bad side.

Rose:

And you know why we're being brought here?

Doctor:

No idea. More fun that way.

Rose:

Yeah.

Doctor:

I'm just wondering where they popped my TARDIS. Chiefy boy, I want the old girl in one piece when you return her over!

Judoon Captain:

COMPENSATION WILL BE REPAID FOR ANY DAMAGE!

Doctor:

Love the Judoon. Such a fun race. Not to mess with of course. I would take you to Judoonia just not quite sure that's legal. Is it chiefy?

Judoon Captain:

UNAUTHORISED PARKING ON JUDOON TERRITORY IS A STRICT OFFENCE! SENTENCE CARRIED WILL BE EXECUTION!

Doctor:

See told you.

Rose:

Wouldn't be the first time we did.

Judoon Captain:

WE ARE HERE!

The Shadow Architect turns to look upon the Doctor and Rose, the Captain stands alongside the Architect.

Architect:

So you've changed your appearance once again Doctor. You must be starting to run out of lives.

Doctor:

Thanks for the optimism. Why are we here? In brief please.

Architect:

Of course. No time like the present, Time Lord. Come.

She leads the Doctor and Rose over to a holographic desk, as the image lights up to present information and statistics whilst the Shadow Architect explains.

Here. You are acquainted with the IronSword legion, Doctor?

Doctor:

How could I not? I've run into them in their little skirmishes from time to time.

Rose:

So who are they then. Always love to know your enemy early on.

Doctor:

That's the spirit Rose.

Architect:

The IronSword. One of the most callous and war-like races. Tied in their never-ending slaughter with Brabantian and Oripichini armies. The race deals in sorcery, wizardry and magic rather than the gore of the Oripichini or the brute force of the Brabantians. Their entwined vengeance on each other leads them out from the intergalactic wars from the Sontarans, Rutans or mankind.
