"Metaltron?" The Doctor raised a brow at the franky stupid name.

"Thought of it myself." Ah, that's why it has a stupid name. "Good, isn't it?" No...not really. "Although I'd much prefer to find out it's real name." Van Statten told us.

"Here, you'd better put these on." Simmons tried to hand us a pair of gauntlets each. "The last guy that touched it burst into flames." Wow. I'd take Jemma Simmons over this Simmons anyday.

"We won't touch it then." I replied.

"Go ahead, Doctor, Fionnuala. Impress me." Van Statten stepped aside to let us through and we entered the next room, the door slamming heavily behind us.

"Ella, do you know what's in here?" The Doctor asked her, my daughter nodding in response. "What is it?"

While the Time Lord was talking, not getting an answer from Ella, I turned to look at the poor creature that had been trapped. However, my eyes widened when I saw the exact thing from my nightmares stood only a few metres away.

"Oh, my God!"

The Doctor, thinking I gasped because I felt sympathy for the alien, started speaking to it. Only, he couldn't see well because the lights were still off. "Look, I'm sorry about this. Mister Van Statten might think he's clever, but nevermind him. We've come to help. I'm the Doctor, this is Lilly and that's Ella." The creature that had stayed stationary for the Doctor an my names, rolled back - almost in fear at Ella's. Why was a death machine afraid of my daughter?

"Doc...tor." A metallic voice spoke, alerting the Doctor on who he was talking to as the lights flickered on. The Time Lord immediately pushed Ella and I behind him.

"Impossible." The Doctor murmured.

"The Doctor? The Doctor, Ella Song and the girl with secrets?" The alien asked. How the hell does it know us? I shared a confused look with the Doctor and we both glanced at my daughter. She was eyeing the Doctor wearily and only looked away when they caught eachother's eyes. "The three with their lives intertwined. And the two with the special connection." Was it talking about Ella and I? "Exterminate! Exterminate!"

"Let us out!" The Doctor ran to the door and banged on it while I stood, watching the creature that I'd known for so long.

"You are enemies of the Daleks!" It screeched. "You must be destroyed!" I watched as the Dalek's gun twitched but didn't shoot us.

"Doctor, it's not working." I tugged him away from the door.

"Fantastic! Oh, fantastic! Powerless! Look at you. The great space dustbin. How does it feel?" The Doctor sneered at it.
