Episode 13: Betrayal and Death Part 5

Ten magnet Warriors marched into a long metallic corridor. One of them breathed in deeply. He looked around; it seemed he had smelt something. The other magnet warriors looked around too until one of them looked up and saw loads of huge spiders clinging to the ceiling. The spiders dropped down and began to attack the Magnet Warriors; however the spiders could hardly scratch the magnet warriors’ metallic skin. The Magnet Warriors then shot lasers out of their magnet 3004 guns. The spiders fell to the ground, flipped over on to their back and did not move again.

On floor 0, the humans, daleks and the Huge Spider leader observed the scene.
“Supreme Dalek, you lied to me!” the Huge Spider leader snarled, “Your guidance has lead some of my fellows to their deaths and it is happening all over the ship! For that treachery we will go against you! All spiders converge on floor 0!” The huge Spider leader could communicate through the other spiders using a telepathic ship.
“You will stop!” the one remaining Supreme Dalek ordered, “Stop them or you will be exterminated”.

“Spiders will not show mercy on the daleks, do not stop to kill any humans on the way!” the Huge Spider leader said in response.
“Exterminate!” the Blue Supreme Dalek said and shot the Spider down dead.
“Supreme Dalek, without the Spider leader we are loosing links with all the spiders around the world they are shrinking!” Dalek Gain announced. The Doctor and his friends faces lit up.


Meanwhile, on Earth Jane, Steve and Rachel Pemberton were singing loudly with a huge crowd of people. It seemed that they had got the message from the Doctor. Suddenly, the spiders began to approach the humans.

“The spiders are coming back daddy!” Rachel said scared.
“Don’t be scared Rachel, don’t be scared anyone”, Steve said, “Remember the message, scare the spiders!” But no-one seemed to listen as a few people began to scream. The spiders began to scuttle quickly towards the crowd but suddenly stopped. They shuddered and began to shrink smaller and smaller and smaller!
“They’re shrinking!” Rachel shouted.
“Yes! Yes!” Jane, Zac’s mum exclaimed hugging Steve and kissing him on the lips.
“Mummy you shouldn’t kiss in public”, Rachel said pushing, “Stop embarrassing me mum!”


Meanwhile in Africa, the group of tribesmen who had been attacked while out hunting had reached their village and were bashing their spears and chanting loudly. Even they had got the message from the Doctor. The spiders, although they were very large did not seem to want to go near the villagers. A spider came into view of the tribesmen and they began to chant louder, but then the spider began to shrink and shrink. The tribe began to clap and chant songs of happiness.


In South London Elizabeth and Colin’s group of people had swelled to more than 2000 people. They were all singing together Rule Britannia.
“What song shall we sing next?” Colin asked.
“I like God save the Queen”, Elizabeth said, “Oh no look there’s a group of spiders!” “Spray cans at the ready!” Colin said through Elizabeth’s megaphone. Elizabeth barged Colin out of the way looking annoyed.
“That’s my megaphone!” Elizabeth said to Colin, “Oh look at the spiders, they’re shuddering”. The spiders began to shrink and shrink and shrink until they were so small you couldn’t see them anymore.
“They’ve gone oh yes!” Elizabeth said happily. Everyone clapped and cheered, they hugged each other and punched the air.


Back on board the Spidership, on floor 0 the Blue Supreme Dalek and Dalek Gain were focusing all their attention on keeping the spiders out. Dalek Gain was typing on a control pad with his metallic hand, while the Supreme Dalek pressed his sucker against the wall.

“So all the spiders have shrunk?” Kaylie asked the Doctor.
“No, the spiders on the ship are still alive”, the Doctor replied.
“If you kill the daleks, then will all the spiders shrink on board?” Ronald asked.
“Yes, you’re good”, the Doctor said kindly, “Very good thinking”.
“Doctor, how are we going to get off the ship?” Captain Price asked, “The last lifeboat will be leaving soon”.
“We need to escape from the daleks”, Conner said.
“We need a diversion”, Private Roxanne added.

“Well, why don’t you let the spiders on”, Georgia suggested, “Use your sonic screwdriver”.
“Can’t you override the daleks?” Harry asked.
“I could do, but we don’t want any more deaths”, the Doctor replied.
“They’ve killed loads of humans!” Zac said, “For all I know, my family could be dead. When we get home we could find our families dead and we’d be the only ones left!”
“Positive Zac, positive”, Kaylie said to Zac.
“I think my parents are dead already”, Conner muttered, “And I want revenge”.

“What are we going to turn into, killers?” the Doctor asked.
“We won’t be killers, if you agree then you’ll be a killer”, Harry said, “And I think you know deep down you are already a killer”. The Doctor looked up at Harry and everyone else looked at Harry, Zac smiled weakly at Harry and Georgia raised her eyebrows.
“Humans will be silent”, the Supreme Dalek said turning away from the console, “We will exterminate you one by one, you Doctor will be the last”.
“We will start with the descendent traitor”, Dalek gain announced, meaning Ronald.
“No, please you can’t kill me!” Ronald said, “You need to focus on keeping the spiders out”.
“Daleks do not change their minds”, the Blue Supreme Dalek said.
“You did earlier”, Ronald replied.
“Silence! Exterminate!” the Blue Supreme Dalek said killing Ronald in an instant. Kaylie screamed and Harry yelled, Zac looked shocked and Georgia looked from the Doctor to Ronald’s lifeless body on the floor. Conner heard a high pitched noise and turned to see the door to floor 0 open. The Doctor had opened it with his sonic screwdriver. All the surviving spiders on the ship rushed into the daleks’ control room past the humans. Dalek Gain retreated leaving the Supreme Dalek in the middle of the room. All the spiders jumped on the Supreme dalek; they were too quick for it to fight back. The smaller ones did little damage to the dalek, but there were a few, which were the size of a small car. These spiders tore the Supreme Dalek apart.

“Everybody run!” the Doctor shouted and ushered everyone past him. Georgia ran past then Conner, Zac, Kaylie, Harry, Captain Price and then Private Roxanne. The Doctor looked back to see the Supreme Dalek scream his last.

The Doctor ran out of the room and led the group away from the entrance to floor 0. The Doctor ran as fast as he could. Behind the Doctor were Conner and Zac; behind them was Private Roxanne, who looked like she was a professional at running; behind her was Harry and Captain Price who had become friends while trapped on floor 0. At the back of the group was Kaylie and Georgia brought up the rear. Being a Doctor’s assistant she had to make sure everyone else was safe before her. They soon got to the lift.

“Everybody, the spiders will kill the daleks, but the magnet warriors need stopping”, the Doctor said, “So I’ll be going up to the floor where the magnet warriors have docked”. The Doctor got out his sonic screwdriver and scanned a TV screen in the lift. On it appeared a diagram of the ship with a few green blobs scattered around it.
“Doctor, what are the green blobs?” Conner asked.
“They are the living things around the ship”, the Doctor said, “Look there’s us”. The Doctor pointed at a mass of green blobs on floor 1.
“There are several blobs on floor 15”, Zac said pointing at the screen, “But they could be magnet warriors”.
“Excuse me, why are we looking at a screen for life signs?” Kaylie asked.
“So we can save the people who are still alive”, the Doctor said.
“But there are magnet Warriors”, Georgia said, “They’d show up as life signs”.
“You are right they would”, the Doctor replied.
“Can’t you change the life signs so it just shows humans”, Private Roxanne asked, “With your screwy thingy”.
“His sonic screwdriver”, Georgia replied frustrated.

“Be quiet!” the Doctor said to the people behind him, “Right then, and scanning for humans now”. The Doctor looked at the screen again to see most of the blobs vanishing.
“There are still five on floor 15”, Zac said looking at the screen.
“Right then, Zac, Harry and Captain Price can you get up to floor 15”, the Doctor asked.
“Yes sir”, Harry said, to the Doctor’s disapproval.
“Captain Price, then you’d better get back to the lifeboats with the people who you find”, the Doctor said, “Georgia, Kaylie and Conner can you go investigate the life signs up here. And Private Roxanne and I will get to floor 13 where the magnet warrior ship is docked. I will attach the TARDIS key to the circuits and bring the TARDIS to the Spidership”.

“Doctor, why can’t I come with you?” Georgia asked with a saddened expression on her face.
“You need to protect Kaylie and Conner and Conner you need to protect Georgia and Kaylie”, the Doctor replied.
“Who do I protect?” Kaylie asked.
“Err... it’s OK Kaylie you don’t have to protect anyone”, the Doctor said quickly.
“Right, see you Doc!” Harry said to the Doctor who raised his eyebrows. Zac, Harry and Captain Price got into the lift and the Doctor got out. The lift doors closed and the Doctor ran over to the second lift. Georgia, Conner and Kaylie got in that lift.
“Bye Doctor”, Georgia said, “Good luck!” The lift doors closed as the ceiling cracked.

“Doctor what’s going on?” Private Roxanne asked.
“I think it’s the magnet Warriors, the lifts are being used so they are trying to find a new way down!” the Doctor replied.
“Well then we’d better wait for the lift to come back”, Private Roxanne said, “Oh and Doctor, I thought I’d ask you”.
“Ask me what?” the Doctor asked with a confused expression on her face.
“Well I know the TARDIS must be a little crowded”, Private Roxanne replied, “But maybe perhaps I could come with you?”
“Yes, I’d love you to come with me”, the Doctor answered smiling.
“Really?” Private Roxanne replied, “I mean I’d try not to get in the way”.
“I’m sure you wouldn’t”, the Doctor said.
“And I’d dispose my gun before I joined up”, Private Roxanne added. The Doctor looked at Roxanne and nodded as something smashed through the ceiling. Marshal Skatz jumped to the ground leering.

“So Doctor you thought you’d get away”, Marshal Skatz said calmly, “What do you have to say?”
“I say Adios!” the Doctor said as the doors of the lift opened and the Doctor pulled Roxanne into it. Marshal Skatz rushed forward but the Doctor had closed the doors before Marshal Skatz could get the Doctor.
“Floor 13”, the Doctor said and the lift ascended.
“That was close”, Private Roxanne said, giving a sigh of relief.


Meanwhile on floor 15 Mrs Sow, Bradley, Catherine and Beth were running for their lives.
“Run children and quickly!” Mrs Sow said as she ran. The four people ran into a large room, which was a shop. However, there was no time to shop because a magnet warrior was following them. So the four hid behind some shelves. Suddenly, they heard footsteps, there was a crash and suddenly another pair of footsteps was heard.

“Say goodbye human!” a magnet warrior growled.
“No please don’t kill me”, a man’s voice said. The voice belonged to Mr. Renegade who had escaped the car-sized spider.
“And why not Earthling?” the Magnet Warrior replied.
“Because there are four other humans hiding behind those shelves of stuff over there”, Mr. Renegade answered. Mrs Sow gasped as Mr. Renegade came into her view and so did a magnet warrior.
“So there are”, the magnet Warrior observed, “Well you’re still gonna die!” The Magnet Warrior shot Mr. Renegade in the stomach with a laser, and he fell down dead. Mrs Sow screamed loudly.

“Lady you’re next!” the magnet warrior shouted, Beth and Catherine screamed and ran off through the back entrance to the shop. The magnet warrior fired shots at the two girls but they missed. The magnet warrior snarled and aimed his gun at Mrs Sow.
“Magnet Warrior!” a voice shouted very loudly. The magnet warrior turned as he fired his gun. The shot missed but hit the shelves which Bradley and Mrs Sow were sitting by. The shelves broke into pieces and one piece fell on Mrs Sow knocking her out. The magnet warrior saw three humans striding towards him with serious expressions on their faces.
“Who are you?” the magnet warrior said slightly scared.
“Your worst nightmare”, Captain Price said, “Humans who can beat you at war!” Captain Price fired her revolver and a bullet hit the magnet warrior in the head. The magnet warrior collapsed and died. Bradley stood up and saw Harry and Zac standing by Captain Price’s side.
“Whoa Zac and ‘arry!” Bradley said.
“Mrs Sow looks injured”, Harry said running up to her.
“I think she’s unconscious”, Zac replied.
“Beth and Catherine just ran off after the magnet thing killed Mr. Renegade, but I’m glad he died the sh…” Bradley began.
“It must have been fear that drove Mr. Renegade to treachery”, Harry interrupted.

“Right then I’ll take Bradley and Mrs Sow back to the lifeboats”, Captain Price explained, “Harry and Zac if you go on after Catherine and Beth”.
“Good idea”, Zac said, “Captain Price once you get to the lifeboats don’t wait for us and just go”.
“All right, good luck”, Captain Price said, “Can you help carry Mrs Sow please”.
“Course”, Bradley replied, “C’mon Miss lets get you to the lifeboats”. Zac smiled as he saw Captain Price and Bradley leave with Mrs Sow.

“Let’s get going”, Zac said. Harry and Zac left the shop and ran down the corridor outside. They ran down another corridor and another, through lounges and restaurants shops and private suites until they finally found Beth and Catherine hiding behind a sofa as if they had just watched ‘Sleepy Hollow’. After much persuasion the two girls agreed to accompany the boys down to the lifeboats. When they got to the lift however they found they weren’t working.
“What are we gonna do now?” Beth whimpered.
“Are we still on board the Spidership?” Catherine asked.
“Yes!” Harry said loudly in response.
“Right there is a flight of stairs nearby, we’ll go down the stairs to floor 13 where the Doctor is”, Zac explained, Harry nodded and the two girls sighed, but agreed.


Meanwhile, by the lifeboats the ten remaining UNIT soldiers on board including Captain Gifford boarded the lifeboat. The last lifeboat had contained only UNIT troops. As Captain Gifford was about to drop the lifeboat he heard a voice.
“Stop, please!” Captain Price shouted.
“Captain Price, you’re OK”, Captain Gifford asked, “Where have you been?”
“I’ll explain later”, Captain Price replied, “This is Bradley and this is Mrs Sow. Mrs Sow has just come round, she was unconscious”.
“Was I?” Mrs Sow asked.
“We’re being chased by magnet warriors drop the lifeboat”, Bradley ordered as he got into the lifeboat dragging Mrs Sow in. Captain Gifford let go of the ropes and the boat fell with a splash onto the surface of the sea.


Meanwhile the Doctor had wired the TARDIS key up with some electric circuits on floor 13. The TARDIS was slowly materialising by the wall. The Doctor had de-activated the lifts so that no magnet warriors could get up to floor 13 quickly.
“Doctor, I can hear footsteps!” Private Roxanne said. The Doctor looked up and saw running round the corner Conner.
“Conner, where’s Kaylie and Georgia?” the Doctor asked.
“I lost them, these magnet warriors were running after us and we split up”, Conner replied.
“Did you find anyone?” the Doctor asked.
“No, we didn’t”, Conner said. Suddenly, more footsteps were heard and Commander Marr burst into the room.

“Doctor, time for you to breath your last”, Commander Marr said as he cackled. A gun was fired and someone died but it wasn’t Commander Marr’s gun and it wasn’t the Doctor who died. Smoke billowed lightly from the tip of Private Roxanne’s gun.
“Well done Private Roxanne!” Conner said. The Doctor smiled at her and she smiled back.
“You saved my life”, the Doctor said, “Thank you”. The Doctor approached Private Roxanne until they were up very close and they kissed. It seemed a long time for Roxanne and the Doctor when they finally let go of each other. Conner smiled weakly, looking embarrassed.

“Doctor I can hear more footsteps!” Conner said loudly. The Doctor and Private Roxanne saw Marshal Skatz run round the corner. In a second a laser was shot from Marshal Skatz’s gun. Private Roxanne’s face fell and she slowly backed away as the laser hit her in the chest and she was knocked off her feet.
“Nooooo!” the Doctor shouted as he saw Private Roxanne fall to the ground. He ran to Private Roxanne who was still breathing.
“Doctor”, Private Roxanne said slowly, “Whatever happens, I don’t blame you”. She smiled faintly and her eyes closed. The Doctor cradled Roxanne lifeless body in his arms as he began to cry. Marshal Skatz smiled widely.

“I made you cry Doctor”, Marshal Skatz said.
“Exterminate!” Dalek Gain’s voice cried as he entered the room. Marshal Skatz turned and saw Dalek Gain. Dalek Gain saw Marshal Skatz and fired an exterminator ray at Marshal Skatz. The magnet Warrior’s greatest leader fell to the ground dead. The Doctor looked up and saw Dalek Gain but Dalek Gain ignored the Doctor and turned his eyepiece to another entrance to the room. Zac, Harry, Catherine and Beth stood there. Zac breathed in and Dalek Gain said ‘EXTERMINATE!’ again.

Zac shouted, “No”, as Harry fell down dead, another innocent victim. Beth and Catherine shrieked and hid behind Zac.
“Dalek Gain, stop this killing!” the Doctor said.
“A dalek must kill!” Dalek Gain said.
“Well do me a favour and kill the magnet warriors!” the Doctor shouted.
“I do not obey your orders”, Dalek Gain said moving forward.

“Look you are the only Dalek in existence, and the magnet warriors are your biggest enemies”, the Doctor said.
“You are my biggest enemy”, Dalek Gain replied. The Doctor was about to reply when several magnet warriors entered the room aiming their guns at Dalek Gain. Dalek Gain turned and fired a ray at the magnet warriors. One magnet warrior fell, then another magnet warrior. In the confusion Zac, Catherine and Beth ran to the TARDIS, which had was now solid. The magnet warriors began to retreat and Dalek Gain began to follow them.


On board the magnet warrior ship, the newly promoted Marshal Natnok planned his next attack.
“Magnet Warrior conquer ship leaving Spidership!” Marshal Natnok said. On board the Spidership Catherine and Beth fell over as the ship shook. The magnet warrior ship zoomed into space.
“Magnetise the Spidership magnetise it!” Marshal Natnok ordered and another magnet warrior pressed a couple of buttons. The Spidership began to lift slowly out of the sea. Marshal Natnok’s plan was to pull the Spidership into space so everyone on board would die.

Back on board the Spidership, the Doctor realised what was going on. The ship shook rapidly and Catherine and Beth slid against a wall hitting their heads.
“Doctor what the hell is going on?” Zac asked loudly clinging onto the side of the TARDIS.

“The magnet warriors must have got a new leader”, the Doctor said, “They must’ve found out that Commander Marr and Marshal Skatz are dead. Their new leader must have magnetised the ship he’s pulling us out into space”.
“What but then we’ll loose oxygen”, Zac replied.
“But what about Georgia and Kaylie?” Conner said, “They could be anywhere”.


Georgia and Kaylie were running down a corridor as the Spidership entered the Earth’s atmosphere. They were finding it very hard to run. Georgia tripped and fell over, Kaylie grabbed Georgia’s hands and helped her up.
“Thank you Kaylie”, Georgia said. They kept running until they reached a flight of stairs which had a sign above it saying, floor 13.
“We’re almost there!” Kaylie shouted as the Spidership shook violently and there was a large explosion nearby. Kaylie almost fell down the stairs but Georgia grabbed her just in time.
“Thanks Georgia”, Kaylie said to Georgia as they slowly descended down the stairs.

In a couple of minutes time they reached the TARDIS and they rushed inside. Inside the TARDIS the Doctor, Zac and Conner were standing around the console. Georgia realised that Harry and Private Roxanne were dead. Slumped on the TARDIS seat were Catherine and Beth who had passed out after hitting their heads on the wall.
“Georgia, you’re OK”, the Doctor said, “I knew you’d survive and Kaylie”.
“Doctor although I have many questions I want to ask you, how are we to defeat the magnet warriors?” Georgia asked.
“We aren’t”, the Doctor replied.
“What?” Zac asked.
“Dalek Gain followed the magnet warriors on to the ship”, the Doctor answered.
“But there wasn’t enough time for Dalek Gain to get on board”, Conner said.
“We’re on floor 13, the magnet warrior ship was docked on floor 13”, the Doctor said, “There was enough time, just”.
“Then, Dalek Gains on board the magnet warrior ship right now, causing havoc?” Georgia asked.
“Yes”, the Doctor replied. Suddenly, to Conner’s surprise, his phone rang.

“It’s my mum!” Conner said, everyone in the TARDIS fell silent, “Hi mum?”
“Conner… Do… floor 14… behind…”
“The phone’s got very bad signal!” Conner said.
“Well we are in the middle of space”, Kaylie replied.
“But I know where my parents are!” Conner exclaimed, “Floor 14! I’m going to find them, wish me luck!”
“Conner, no!” the Doctor said but Conner was already rushing out of the TARDIS.
“We’re almost in space!” Zac said.
“What, what’s going on?” Georgia asked.
“Well, the magnet warriors have a new leader”, the Doctor began to explain. Conner meanwhile was running as fast as he could. He reached the flight of stairs and ran up them, there was a huge explosion nearby and the ceiling caved in behind him. Conner realised he could not go back. There was another explosion and the ceiling caved in front of him. Conner realised how silly he had been to go after his parents. Conner felt it very hard to breath and he turned and looked out of the window to see black. The Spidership was in space. He would be dead any second; he saw two bodies floating past the window. A tear rolled down his cheek and dropped to the floor, as he saw his parent’s dead bodies floating in space.

There was a popping noise and a puff of smoke. As Conner began to pass out he saw a red man with a smile wave at him and cackle. The red man had predicted so much death and the red man was right.

Inside the TARDIS the Doctor was scanning for life signs in the Spidership as he had done in the lift.
“Come on, Come on!” the Doctor said looking at the TARDIS screen with his sonic screwdriver. He kicked the console frustrated.
“Doctor what’s wrong?” Georgia asked.
“Conner, he’s …he’s”, the Doctor said, “He’s dead”. As the Doctor said these words Georgia and Kaylie began to cry and Zac was so shocked that he couldn’t cry. The TARDIS remained silent for at least five minutes, as the four survivors remembered their gallant, strong-willed and fantastic friends, Private Roxanne, Harry and of course Conner. On the TARDIS screen the Spidership could be seen breaking up into pieces and then the magnet warrior ship exploded in violent flames.

The magnet warriors’ bodies of metal melted in the heat of the flames. Marshal Natnok was dead, but there was one survivor. One creature had survived the destruction of the1st magnet warrior conquer ship. This creature had caused it. Dalek Gain flew from the floating rubble ready to kill again, but there was more mystery about this dalek than the other two. The dalek turned direction and headed into deep space, away from Earth.

Inside the TARDIS the Doctor, Georgia, Zac and Kaylie may have been very sad, but not even they knew that one day, one day, worse events were to come…


THE END

NEXT TIME...

"Doctor, it's Christmas!" Zac says annoyed
"Run!" the Doctor shouts.
"I put a Santa hat on it"
"They are my creation"
"I've seen them before"
"They look different"
"What are they?"
"Cybermen..."
