We are back in the destroyed city of Washington. The red and black smoke still circle around the city and the IronSword marvelling his destruction from what little he can make of. Thunderbird 2 approaches the tower he stands on, arrival imminent. Virgil contacts the Doctor and Rose in the brown, 4-man passenger cage where they await to be lowered too.
Virgil:
Thunderbird 2 to Thunderbird 1, approaching danger zone! Dropping off our time travellers now!
Scott:
F.A.B Virgil!
Virgil:
You two ready?
Doctor:
F.A.B Virgil!
Rose:
Well for once we haven't actually done that much till now. We just let the boys do all the work and saving. Leaving us with the dangerous bit.
Doctor:
What? Would you rather be with Scott?
Rose:
You're gonna get smacked in a minute!
Doctor:
Ha ha! Yeah.
Rose:
So, how's it gonna work? Give him a choice and then see how it goes from there?
Doctor:
Yep. Most likely he'll just refuse we'll have to use the Particle Holder. Still.
Rose:
What's wrong?
Doctor:
Nah, nothing. You know me. Always A-1 Rose!
Rose:
No but you were saying about earlier, about something isn't right? About me?
Doctor:
Well...
Rose:
Doctor, tell me.
There's a long pause.
Doctor:
Yeah. Suppose so. It's just about. I mean, my people... Gone now I guess. And everyone else. And the IronSword, yeah... Easily crush through other life forms. Especially human life forms you know.
Rose:
Nah, but we're always good us two. You said it yourself I'm here to give you luck. We'll always be fine us two, won't we?
Doctor:
Yeah. Course we will. Promised Jackie I'd protect you.
Rose:
Yeah, but is my mum gonna believe we rode in Thunderbird 2?
Doctor:
Your mother? Well...
Rose:
But we can look after ourselves, can't we?
The two look at each other intimately again.
Virgil:
Thunderbird 2 to passenger cage, lowering you now down to the IronSword.
Doctor:
F.A.B! Come and meet the IronSword Rose!
