Episode 13: The Water's Song Part 2

Zac Pemberton sighed as he continued to eat his weetabix, his mother had been ranting about his sister’s amazing SATS results again. It was the summer holidays and Zac’s year were going to school to receive their GCSE results later.

“I hope you do as well in your GCSEs as Rachel did in her SATS,” Jane was saying.
“Mum, I did better than Rachel in the year 6 SATS,” Zac muttered.
“Yes, but...” Jane began.
“Plus, SATS don’t even matter,” Zac replied.
“Your sister was trying to get into a grammar school,” Jane explained, “She wanted good exam results and she got them.”
“Yeah, but SATS results don’t matter, you pass another test to get into a grammar school,” Zac said exasperated, “My friend got two level 3’s in his SATS and he’s at a Grammar school.”
“Which friend was that?” Jane asked.
“Keane,” Zac muttered.
“Well he was in New Zealand in the weeks before he took the tests, he didn’t have time to...” Jane began.
“Revise?” Zac asked, “I hardly revised and I got all level 5’s, even in writing.”
“Shut up Zac nobody cares,” Rachel said cheekily.
“Good, nobody should care about SATS results,” Zac said.

“Mummy, I think the postman just arrived!” Rachel squeaked, peering out of the window.
“Go and get the post then,” Jane told Rachel and immediately Rachel rushed out of the room and ran in carrying the post.
“Ah a letter for me,” Zac said grabbing the letter from Rachel, “Looks like they want me to volunteer at the animal shelter again. I only did it the last time because of the UFO-work experience.”
“MUMMY I GOT A LETTER!” Rachel shouted, “It’s like a Hogwarts letter , with the stamp and envelope and... it’s a school letter!”
“Open it then,” Jane said smiling, “And Zac shouldn’t you be going to get your results?”
“What?” Zac said, not listening, he could hear a familiar noise coming from nearby.
“I’m into the school!” Rachel squealed, “Yay! I can’t believe I had to go on the waiting list, but... I’m not going to some silly comprehensive! Yay!”
“Well done,” Jane applauded, “Zac aren’t you going to congratulate your sister?” Zac identified and the sound and ran from the room.
“Good luck with the results!” Jane called after him.


Kaylie, Beth and Catherine were round Catherine’s house putting on make up. They had decided that they should look their best when they got their results.
“I think I need some eye liner,” Kaylie muttered, “Or maybe some eye shadow?”
“Eye liner is needed deffo,” Beth told Kaylie.
“Do you think I should wear a hat?” Catherine asked.
“No,” Kaylie replied, “Were you serious.”
“I was contemplating,” Catherine answered.
“How do you even know that word?” Beth questioned, surprised at Catherine’s use of vocabulary.
“What word?” Catherine replied blankly, “What did I say?” Beth and Kaylie did not reply, they both heard the same familiar sound.

“The TARDIS!” Beth exclaimed, “Bye Catherine!” Beth ran out of the room, followed closely by Kaylie, who waved at Catherine. Beth and Kaylie rushed down the stairs, almost knocking into Catherine’s mum.
“Sorry Mrs Ford!” Beth said as she ran out of the front door, “See you!”

Catherine looked up from her jewellery box, and began talking to herself. She looked up and saw that Beth and Catherine were gone.
“Where did...?” Catherine murmured, “Meh.”


Captain Alton stared as more shuttles came into view. Private Rolf and Nash shoved another table against the door to stop the cult getting into the room.
“Sir we need your help!” Private Rolf said.
“Now!” Private Nash added.
“We can’t get out,” Captain Alton replied, “We’re in deep trouble.” Suddenly there was a flash outside and a space ship came into view.
“There’s another ship!” Captain Alton exclaimed, “Wow!” There was a flash and a wave of yellow energy erupted from the front of the ship, bombarding the shuttles, and causing them to fall into the raging waters.

Inside the space ship Sam and Sara continued pressing buttons on the control panel.
“That worked a treat,” Sara commented.
“Why couldn’t we use the lasers?” Sam asked exasperated.
“That was easier,” Sara snapped.
“That used up more energy,” Sam replied, “Way too much!” Suddenly red lights began to flash inside the spaceship and an alarm sounded.

“What’s going on?” Sara asked.
“We don’t have enough energy, we’re going to have to make an emergency landing,” Sam explained.
“I told you I should have driven!” Sara roared.
“You were using up too much energy again when we were breaking through the atmosphere,” Sam answered, “You were going way too fast, now do me a favour and SHUT IT!”
“Where are we going to emergency land then?” Sara asked, “If we fall into the sea we’ll die. Oh my God! There are creatures in the water!”
“What are you talking about?” Sam snapped, “We’ll have to land... we can’t... there’s nowhere to land! We can’t go up or we’ll loose energy! We’re going to crash any second! I’m sorry!”
“SIDEWAYS!” Sara screamed jerking the steering stick out of Sam’s hand and quickly turning it as far as it would go to the left.

“Request information sir, what’s going on?” Private Rolf shouted over the roars of the cult on the other side of the door.
“Let us in you silly boy!” Mrs Harrbungershon growled.
“Why, I swear he’s no more than a teenager,” Kufuedun commented.
“So are you,” Dash replied.
“I’ll have you know that I am 19, which makes me an adult!” Kufuedun snapped.
“Yes well he’s probably older than...” Dash began.
“SILENCE!” Mrs Harrbungershon ordered, “You talk about nothing! Now barge!”

“I can’t believe it,” Captain Alton was saying as he stared out the window, “All the ships have been are vanishing and being destroyed in the water! God bless that spaceship whatever it is!”
“What did he say?” Mrs Harrbungershon asked Dash, as they continued to push against the door.
“All the ships have been destroyed,” Dash replied.
“Kufuedun, do you still have contact with the shuttles?” Mrs Harrbungershon asked.
“Let me see,” Kufuedun said, pulling out a tiny, black, computer-like device, “No, I’m loosing all the signals, I’ve lost contact with all of them!”
“NO!” Mrs Harrbungershon roared.

Captain Alton was still staring out the window, as his face turned from happiness to horror as the spaceship that had destroyed Mrs Harrbungershon’s shuttles began to tumble towards the sea defence.
“Watch out!” Captain Alton shouted at the two privates.
“What’s going on?” Private Rolf asked.
“The spaceship that destroyed the shuttles it’s about to...” Captain Alton began, but his words were drowned by a crushing and a smashing sound as the spaceship collided with the wall and broke through it, collapsing half the ceiling as it did so. Private Nash and Rolf coughed as the dust cleared to reveal Captain Alton lying beneath a pile of rubble.

“Do you think he’s...?” Private Nash muttered.
“I hope not,” Private Rolf replied, “We should clear this rubble off him.”
“What about the cult?” Private Nash asked, “They’ll break through the door and barricade without us pushing against it.”
“Well...” Private Rolf began, but then shouted, “Get back!” Rolf grabbed Private Nash and pulled him away from the barricade of chairs and lab benches, which had been put up against the door, behind which the cult were trying to get in. Private Nash looked confused, but suddenly a chunk of the ceiling fell onto the barricade.

“Oh...” Private Nash muttered.
“That should hold them off for a while,” Private Rolf said, “Now let’s clear this rubble off...” Suddenly, a door on the side of the spaceship, that had destroyed half of the room, opened and two figures stepped out of the ship.

“Don’t shoot!” Sara told the two humans who were pointing guns at her.
“We come in peace,” Sam added, “We saved you from those shuttles.”
“You’re red...” Private Rolf muttered.
“Never,” Sara replied sarcastically, “We’re the last surviving members of the Fidantis race, probably haven’t heard of us. We were part of the first human empire.”
“Thanks for saving us,” Private Nash said.
“Yeah, well we chose you because you were the only people not in any trouble concerning the water,” Sam explained.
“Well, we did have a bit of a scare earlier; the water was nearly up to our window,” Private Rolf answered, “Then it seemed to drop as the water smashed through the wall in several places, alot of the area beyond this is completely flooded.”
“We were a preoccupied with another matter,” Private Nash added, “You must have heard the distress call.”
“That’s right,” Sam replied.

“Are the cult behind that door?” Sara asked.
“What door?” Sam replied, “Oh is there a door behind that... rubble.”
“Yes,” Private Rolf replied, “And yeah the cult is behind there, they were trying to get through, so we built a barricade then half the ceiling collapsed when you crashed.”
“Yeah sorry about that, Sara’s terrible at steering,” Sam apologised, “I’m Sam by the way.”
“Well obviously I’m Sara,” Sara said, “And Sam shut up you crashed into that government building earlier tonight, well I suppose last night now it’s extremely early morning but still...”
“What building was this?” Private Nash asked.
“A government building in London,” Sam explained, “We went to warn them about the Aquari particles. They are what’s causing this, but this man was there, he said he was a lord... thing and...”
“He was a Time Lord,” Sara interrupted, “You won’t have heard of them, Sam hasn’t. Rumour has it; one of our Gods is a Time Lord, the Fidantis God of Peace.”
“Who was this man?” Private Rolf asked.
“He called himself the Doctor,” Sara replied.
“The Doctor!” Private Rolf and Nash exclaimed together.


Georgia and Conner hugged and sat down on a seat sadly. They had spent ages shouting for the Doctor and now they had given up talking at all. Julian and Quentin weren’t saying anything either, so the room was in complete silence, until Lee and Donald rushed back into the room.

“The water’s up to th1 12th floor,” Lee told them after Georgia and Conner explained that the Doctor had gone somewhere in his TARDIS.
“Hooray,” Georgia muttered.
“What floor are we on?” Conner asked.
“The 21st,” Donald replied, “Which is the top.”
“We can make it out alive then,” Conner said optimistically.
“You don’t understand,” Quentin snarled, “There are things in the water. Those Aquari are very strong, and they can kill.”
“In Los Angeles, the Aquari collapsed buildings by destroying the walls of the lower floors,” Lee explained, “There’s no building left above the water there.”
“Then why haven’t they done that here?” Georgia asked.
“Maybe they are so spread out that they can’t,” Lee suggested, “They need hordes of them to work together and smash into the walls.”
“Or maybe they just haven’t been told to do so yet,” Conner replied.

“That Master is a Time Lord, if he’s anything like the Doctor then he’s very clever,” Georgia said, “He must have thought his plan through thoroughly.”
“He must have a base somewhere,” Julian said, “Everybody has a base.”
“The Aquari Aquatics factory,” Conner answered.
“He wouldn’t want his base to be underwater,” Julian explained, “He must have made the factory air tight or all his papers and things would be ruined.”
“He has his TARDIS to keep his stuff in,” Georgia explained, “And the TARDIS has a protective thing, so water can’t get in. I remember when we landed in the middle of an ocean and...”
“The computer was in the factory!” Conner interrupted, “He had all his stuff on that computer and that’s where he activated the particles from.”
“Which means he must have made the factory air tight,” Julian replied.
“But surely the Aquari would know to avoid the factory,” Lee said.
“Maybe not even they can argue with the force of gravity,” Conner suggested.

“We need to get to the factory,” Donald Digit said, “Close down the computer.”
“How? There’s loads of water out there, we can’t just cross the street,” Georgia replied, “And the teleport system’s down.”
“It was half a good plan...” Lee muttered.


Natalie was still sat by the window, watching as building vanished beneath the water. The whole city seemed to be underwater now, and the water still seemed to be rising.

“What are we going to do?” Korena asked Natalie, Margaret and Kimiko.
“We can’t do anything,” Natalie muttered, “This city’s gonna die like LA.”
“But in Los Angeles, the buildings all collapsed because the foundations were destroyed,” Kimiko explained, “That isn’t happening here.”
“It’s only a matter of time,” Natalie replied.
“To omou watashi tachi wa keitai denwa Jōjia,” Margaret suggested.
“Why should we phone Georgia?” Korena asked.
“Tame, Jōjia shi~tsu te iru kanō sei ga ari masu ga isha de aru,” Margaret explained.
“Yeah... what?” Natalie asked Korena.
“She says because she may know where the Doctor is,” Korena explained.
“Okay, well who is this Doctor?” Natalie asked.
“I’d like to know more about him too,” Kimiko replied.
“He’s amazing, he travels through time and space,” Korena explained, “Yes I know it’s unbelievable, but that’s where I’ve been. Together we save civilisations from evil aliens and have a great time!”
“Kare wa utsukushii,” Margaret said.
“He is,” Korena replied smiling.

“Oh I have a phone call,” Natalie commented, pulling out her phone, “It’s my friend Amita.”
“Natalie!” Amita hissed. Amita and Delilah were standing in a huge room with large computer games lining the walls and pool tables and cash machines were dotted around the room. There was a small shiny bar at one end of the room, with shelves of drinks behind it.

“What is it?” Natalie asked, “Are you alright? How’s Natasha?” Korena turned and stared at Natalie, as she remembered that she had forgotten to tell Natalie that her twin had been killed.
“Natasha left, I don’t know where she is,” Amita explained, “But me and Delils saw the devil, she was telling the truth all along!”
“Of course I was!” Delilah snapped at Amita.
“Anyway this devil said something like your time is not yet ready or somert and me and Delils vanished and appeared in this weird place,” Amita finished.
“I don’t know what place you’re talking about,” Natalie replied, “Seeing as I’m not there, does it have walls?”
“Yeah it does!” Amita exclaimed, “It’s got games and pool tables and a bar! Oooh I could get a drink...”
“I’m so glad you two are ok,” Natalie replied, “But are you safe now?”
“I think so, I don’t know where we are, me and Delils will go exploring,” Amita replied.
“Don’t call me that,” Delilah hissed.
“Well we’re all ok here, phone if something happens,” Natalie told Amita.
“Yeah, loves you babes!” Amita replied, “Bye!” Natalie ended the call and looked up at Korena who looked very sad.

“What’s wrong?” Natalie asked Korena.
“It’s your sister,” Korena replied, “She’s dead.”

Amita and Delilah found a large door at the end of the games room and they managed to open it. They entered a huge multi-storey room, with escalators and bright white walls.
“Oh my...” Amita muttered. She turned and saw shops leading off every wall and vending machines and yet the whole place was empty.

“I know where this is!” Delilah exclaimed, “It’s a shopping arcade! The biggest one in Britain! It’s on the outskirts of Bristol.”
“A shopping arcade!” Amita exclaimed, “Yay my dreams have come true!”
“The world’s dying and we’re about to go shopping,” Delilah muttered.
“Look think of it more as borrowing, since the shops are all closed,” Amita replied, “Why are the lights on?”
“Perhaps someone was expecting us,” Delilah answered, “Like that devil.”
“Maybe we died and came to heaven,” Amita squealed happily.
“Because shopping is your ideal of heaven and you think that being dead is a good thing,” Delilah replied.
“Let’s go borrowing!” Amita squeaked and she began to drag Delilah off by the hand.


The TARDIS materialised in the park in London where it usually landed. The Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS and pulled out his sonic screwdriver. Suddenly, there were footsteps and Zac appeared, closely followed by Kaylie and Beth.

“Hey Zac!” Kaylie exclaimed hugging her boyfriend, “And Doctor!”
“Oh hello,” the Doctor replied.
“Where’s Georgia and Conner?” Beth asked.
“And Korena,” Zac added.
“They are in the 40th... no the 41st century,” the Doctor replied.
“Doing what?” Kaylie asked.
“They’re busy,” the Doctor said simply.
“Fine, don’t tell us what’s going on and why you’ve left them there,” Beth muttered.

“All right, can you tell me where the Aquari Aquatics factory is?” the Doctor asked.
“Yes, I can show you if you like,” Zac answered, “Me and Kaylie thought that those two Aquari workers vanishing were a bit fishy, so we began to research the company.”
“It was sponsored by the Spidership,” Kaylie added.
“Yeah, I just need to get there thanks,” the Doctor replied.
“Oh all right,” Zac replied, looking a little put off, “Follow me.” Zac began to lead the Doctor away from the TARDIS, behind the Doctor Kaylie and Beth began chatting.

“What do you thinks’ happened?” Beth asked Kaylie.
“I have no idea,” Kaylie replied, “But I think something bad must’ve happened.”
“You don’t think Conner and Georgia are dead?” Beth asked.
“Oh I do hope not, imagine being killed in the future,” Kaylie replied, “That would be horrible, don’t say such things Beth!”
“Maybe the Doctor has abandoned them...” Beth suggested.
“Beth please,” Kaylie interrupted, “That is so unlikely! You know how much the Doctor likes both of them, and he seems to like Korena loads too. I just hope they’re ok on their own...”


The Master exited his TARDIS after it materialised in the Aquari Aquatics factory in the 41st Century. The Master ran over to the pool of water next to his computer, where a couple of Aquari were playing.

“Our Master has returned,” one Aquari giggled.
“Was it nice in the 21st Century?” a second asked.
“It was fine,” the Master replied, “Now sing to your fellows, sing across the world, I want you to find the Doctor’s companions and kill them.”
“How will we do that?” the first Aquari questioned.
“Destroy the building they are in,” the Master snapped, “The Doctor has gone, I’ll deal with him on my own, you get rid of the companions.”
“It will be our pleasure,” the Aquari said smiling.
