Episode 13: Betrayal and Death Part 3

“We should run…” Zac muttered.
“Perhaps it hasn’t seen us”, Kaylie suggested.
“It’s looking at us”, Mr. Renegade pointed out.
“Good point”, Kaylie said, “Time to run!”
“Thank you Kaylie”, Andrea said, “But we do know what to do!” The huge tarantula lunged at them and they scattered. Zac, Kaylie and two students ran down an aisle and through a pair of double doors. Amy and Andrea hid behind a row of seats as the tarantula turned on Mr. Renegade who froze.

“Stop tarantula!” Mr. Renegade ordered, “I will join you and help you”.
“If…?” the tarantula asked in a long hiss.
“If you don’t kill me”, Mr. Renegade answered.
“I don’t need your help”, the tarantula shouted, “But I do need you as food”.
“Don’t kill me”, Mr. Renegade whimpered, “Kill those two!” Mr. Renegade pointed at Amy and Andrea who were still hiding.

“You horrid man!” Amy shouted, “Kill him Mr. Tarantula!”
“It’s all in his name!” Andrea said, “Renegade means traitor!” Kaylie threw a plastic cup at Andrea and ushered the two girls towards her, as the tarantula turned back to Mr. Renegade. Mr. Renegade ran through another pair of doors and the tarantula followed him.

“Amy, Andrea, come on!” Kaylie whispered, and then she saw a couple of other students hiding in another row, “And you lot!” The group reformed and followed Zac along another corridor.


On Earth Elizabeth and Colin sprayed the spiders with their bug killer and the spiders shrieked in pain and fear. Elizabeth and Colin ran down the stairs and through their front door.
“I know how we can get everyone grouped together!” Elizabeth said, “Wait here”. Elizabeth ran back into the house and ran back out carrying a megaphone.

“Everyone leave your homes and come here now!” Elizabeth shouted, “Distract the spiders and come out here now!”
“That will attract everyone’s attention!” Colin exclaimed, “Well done dear!” A few people rushed out into the street and joined Elizabeth and Colin. Mrs White, Elizabeth and Colin’s next-door neighbour, rushed into the street with a bottle of bug killer too.
“The bug killer will kill all the bugs”, Elizabeth said, “It seems other people had that brilliant idea too Colin”.
“Technically spiders aren’t bugs, they’re arachnids”, Colin replied.
“Shut up!” Elizabeth replied as a family of four ran out of their house followed by a large house spider. Elizabeth and Mrs White sprayed the spider with bug killer and it retreated. More spiders appeared, making snarling noises.
“Spray them!” Colin shouted and the spiders retreated, “Make the spiders scared of us, snarl at them!”

“I repeat everyone come out of your houses!” Elizabeth said through the megaphone.
“You’re attracting the spiders dear”, Colin pointed out.
“Well, it’s half a good plan”, Elizabeth said as more people appeared and joined the group which was getting slowly bigger. People came running from all directions.
“There are loads of people”, Colin said, “And look the spiders are scuttling away”.

“Is everyone from our street here?” Elizabeth asked everyone, “I can’t see Mrs Cotter”.
“Apparently she died three weeks ago and her house hasn’t been sold yet”, Colin shouted.

“Right everyone”, Elizabeth shouted into the megaphone, “We are going to march in that direction. We will march down every street we can and gather all the people from as many streets as possible and save them from the spiders, who are too scared to attack us. We will sing loud songs and keep our spirits up and we will save London”.
“Great speech dear”, Colin said patting Elizabeth on the arm.


On board the Spidership, on floor 0 the daleks and the huge spider leader were talking. They were going to try and contact the magnet warrior ship, which was heading quickly towards the Spidership. The daleks were, for the moment ignoring the humans, who were talking quietly.

“We need to get the doctor here”, Harry said, “As soon as possible”.
“We need to save the world”, Private Roxanne said, “If one of us could damage that machine then”.
“Then that person will be exterminated”, Captain Price pointed out.

“I’ll do it”, Ronald said, “I want to save my parents”.
“You’re only a child”, Private Roxanne said, “You will not die”.
“I’ll do it”, Roger Ummelmann said, “They’re going to exterminate me anyway so”.
“If we can get the Doctor here, then we can save him”, Harry said, “He can save all of us”.
“He does seem brilliant”, Private Roxanne said smiling.
“Who says, we want my uncle alive”, Ronald said, as if Roger was not there.
“You want him dead?” Harry asked.
“He is a traitor to the whole human race”, Captain Price pointed out.
“He’s not doing it!” Harry announced, “None of us are”.

“I have parents on Earth and brothers and sisters and grandparents!” Ronald said, “I will die if it saves them”.
“You aren’t doing it”, Private Roxanne replied, “Anyway none of us know how to tamper with that machine!”
“You just pull out a few of those wires there”, Roger said.
“What about that lever?” Captain Price asked.
“That lever can only be controlled by a dalek’s sucker”, Roger answered.

“Humans will be silent”, the Blue Supreme Dalek ordered as it turned.
“Visual contact with magnet warriors in 10 rels”, Dalek Gain informed the other two daleks.
“I hear that the magnet warriors do not treat alien spiders well”, the huge spider leader hissed.
“Then they shall be taught a lesson”, the Blue Supreme Dalek said.

“5 rels until contact”, Dalek Gain said. Harry, Ronald, Roger and Roxanne had never seen a magnet warrior before while Captain Price had. She had fought them when they had invaded last Christmas. A large hologram of a space ship appeared on a wall. All the daleks turned to it. The hologram showed the interior of the 1st magnet warrior ship. Marshal Skatz stood in the middle with a snarl on his face, while Commander Marr stood nearby next to The Doctor.

“Visual Recognition!” Dalek Gain uttered, “Supreme Dalek I recognise that man”.
“Which Supreme Dalek are you addressing?” the Blue Supreme Dalek asked.
“You”, Dalek Gain replied, “That man is the Doctor”.
“Visual recognition confirmed”, the White Supreme Dalek announced, “He is the Doctor”. The human prisoners looked at each other in amazement. Harry waved at the Doctor behind the daleks back.

“I speak to the daleks!” Marshal Skatz shouted.
“We are the daleks”, the White Supreme Dalek said.
“You are the same daleks who we bought the hypnosis and teleport technology off, confirm?” Marshal Skatz asked.
“That is correct”, the White Supreme Dalek said.

“Wait a second”, the Doctor said stepping forward, “Hi, daleks its me again!”
“Silence Doctor!” Commander Marr ordered.
“I just want to ask something”, the Doctor said, walking to the centre of the room, “Have you been selling technology to other species to get more money?”
“That is correct”, the Blue Supreme Dalek confirmed, “The humans ran out of money so we got them more”.
“So that’s why there was so much stolen technology”, the Doctor said, “The magnet Warriors, the slitheen, the scarecrows, the plague carriers. But you had too much money, am I right?”

“They sponsored the game Doctor!” Harry said, “Virtual Reality”.
“We did that so we could capture people for the spiders to eat”, the Blue Supreme Dalek explained, “But you wrecked our plans! Since then we have been stopping your telephone calls!”
“Conner didn’t get any of Zac’s messages!” Harry remembered.
“We let our guard down for a second!” the White Supreme dalek said, “And the Doctor was contacted”.

Meanwhile, behind the daleks Captain Price had secretly contacted UNIT successfully. She was whispering to Captain Gifford through a walky-talky.
“You mean there are people fighting the spiders”, Captain Price whispered, “They are scaring the spiders. All over the UK? That’s good”.

“Excuse me, Supreme Dalek”, Dalek Gain said.
“Which one?” the White Supreme Dalek asked.
“You”, Dalek Gain replied, “One of the human females is contacting someone”.
“Who are you contacting?” the Blue Supreme Dalek asked.
“No-one!” Captain Price said in a squeaky voice, “Just UNIT!”
“What are you telling them?” the White Supreme Dalek asked.

“They are telling me about the spiders around the world and how they are being scared away”, Captain Price said triumphantly.
“The spiders are scared and the humans aren’t!” Captain Price announced, “The word has spread around the world, from the Doctor, to Georgia, to many UNIT soldiers, to the soldier’s families and friends, to UNIT HQ, to all broadcasting channels around the world. The human race is fighting back”.

“Have you checked your machine recently Supreme Daleks?” the Doctor asked, from the magnet warrior ship. The daleks turned and saw that the machine was making loud whirring noises and smoke was billowing from the top of it. Marshal Skatz and Commander Marr were sneering at the daleks. The huge spider shuddered.
“That machine is going to blow!” the Doctor shouted.

“You are a member of UNIT”, the White Supreme Dalek said, “UNIT did this, so you will be exterminated!”

Suddenly a loud voice broke through the argument.
“This is your Captain!” The voice of Captain Reggie said throughout the ship via loudspeakers. “There are huge spiders that have grown on board the Spidership. They are huge! But you can stop them! Make them scared of you. Stay in large groups. Keep your spirits up. They must be defeated! All people must get in large groups and reach the lifeboats. A member of staff will help you onto the lifeboat and…”
“Dalek Gain block the transmission”, the Blue Supreme Dalek ordered and Dalek Gain pushed a button and the announcement stopped.
“That must be my companion Georgia”, the Doctor said, “She got the Captain to make that announcement and now your plans have gone terribly bad. Oh and Marshal Skatz has something to say!”
“Yes, thank you Doctor”, Marshal Skatz said annoyed, “Daleks we don’t like you! And you think us small and we love going to war. So now we are going to war with you! That’s all!” The hologram vanished before the Doctor could stop Marshal Skatz.

“Dalek Gain, stop that machine from exploding and fix it!” the White Supreme Dalek ordered, “Spider-leader tell all spiders on board the Spidership to be alert for magnet warriors. Blue Supreme Dalek, what shall you do?”
“I will ascend to the bridge and exterminate the Captain and all personnel up there!” the Blue Supreme Dalek replied, “I will take the lift”. The Supreme Dalek exited the room as Dalek Gain pressed several buttons on the machine and the huge spider-leader, linked himself to the other spiders, telepathically. The White Supreme Dalek was also busy with the control panel.

“I’m sorry but if there are people on Earth fighting against the spiders then I must fight too!” Ronald said bravely and he ran into the machine that was making the spiders grow bigger. Dalek Gain turned and fired an exterminator ray at Ronald.
“Nooooo!” Roger Ummelmann cried as he jumped in front of his nephew and got hit by the ray in the chest. His body flashed so his skeleton could be seen and he then fell down dead.

“You tried to damage the machine”, Dalek Gain said, “You will be exterminated”.
“You won’t kill me!” Ronald said, “You killed my uncle instead of me! Or do Daleks not have any mercy”.
“Correct, Daleks do not have any mercy”, Dalek Gain replied, “So he will be destroyed!”


Meanwhile on the top level Georgia and Conner were looking cheerful.
“Right we’ll be off!” Georgia said, “Keep that spider barricaded in there. Keep your spirits up! Stay together and well done!”
“Will you be heading for the lifeboats?” Captain Reggie asked.
“First of all we need to go down to floor 0”, Conner replied.
“Thanks for your help”, Georgia said to Captain Reggie as the lift doors opened.
“It was no problem”, Captain Reggie replied, “See you!”
Georgia and Conner stepped into the lift and waved farewell. Conner pressed a button and the lift doors closed. However, there was a second lift next to the first and as the lift that carried Georgia and Conner descended, the other lifts doors opened.

“You are the Captain of the Spidership, confirm!” the Blue Supreme Dalek said as he exited the lift.
“Confirmed and who are you?” Captain Reggie asked.
“I am the Supreme Dalek and you have alerted everyone on board of my awareness”, the Supreme Dalek replied.
“I’m sorry I don’t know what you mean”, Captain Reggie replied.
“The spiders are my creation and they were to kill all on board”, the Blue Supreme Dalek answered, “So you will be exterminated”.
“At least I saved my passengers before you killed me”, Captain Reggie said boldly, and then added ,“You monster”.

“Exterminate!”

New Spin-Off Series!

You may not know this, but I helped with Bex at The-OncomingStorm's site magazine Via The Void, by writing a series of stories. Each episode is short, and the series as a whole features a brand new companion! There are 10 stories, but this number could possibly increase to allow for longer episodes, depending on the series finale.



The first episode will be released soon, as it is already written, and episode 2 will be released shortly after, as that has already been written too. Then episode 3 will probably take a little longer as I haven't written it yet.



The pictures you can see are of the Doctor and his new companion Katie, played by Kristen Bell, who isn't really involved with Doctor Who, but is just used to help you imagine Katie better.



Happy reading,
Will

Episode 13: Betrayal and Death Part 2

“Excuse me!” Dalek Gain said.
“What is it Dalek Gain?” the Blue Supreme Dalek said holding back the temptation to exterminate Roger.
“There seems to be another ship entering our Earthspace”, Dalek Gain replied.
“What kind of ship?” the White Supreme Dalek asked.
“It is a magnet Warrior ship”, Dalek Gain replied.
“Halt, the extermination!” the Blue Supreme Dalek ordered, Roger gave a sigh of relief, “We will wait and make him suffer more!”
“What do we do with the magnet warriors?” Dalek Gain asked.
“We find out what they are doing here”, the Blue Supreme Dalek ordered.


Meanwhile, on board the magnet warrior ship Commander Marr stood smiling. The Doctor had been captured by a group of magnet warriors. They had used alien technology to search for more alien technology and found that the Doctor was right beneath them. Commander Marr had sent a group of magnet warriors to go and get him. The doors to the control room opened and the Doctor walked in, flanked by two magnet warriors.

“Oh dear, I’ve been captured by the magnet warriors”, the Doctor said crossing his arms, “Because I would’ve had a great time in… Norway I think it was. I could’ve visited Bad Wolf bay, but I could not have got back to the Spidership to save my friends in time. Now I’ve got transport”.
“Like we’d give you a lift”, Commander Marr said, “We want our revenge”.
“Can’t you just drop me off?” the Doctor asked.
“Fine, we’ll give you a lift…” Commander Marr sighed, “To the magnet warrior home world, designated Magnusgrain”.
“Oh, thank you”, the Doctor said, “I’ve always wanted to visit the magnet warrior planet”.
“Shut up Doctor”, Commander Marr ordered. Suddenly, the doors opened and a tall, strong, evil looking magnet warrior entered the room.

“Commander Marr”, the magnet Warrior roared.
“Marshal Skatz, this is the Doctor”, Commander Marr introduced, “Doctor this is Marshal Skatz, leader of the magnet warrior fleet”.
“That is enough of your welcoming gestures!” Marshal Skatz said loudly, “He is the enemy”.
“Of course Marshal”, Commander Marr said.
“Hello, I’m the Doctor”, the Doctor said holding out his hand cheerfully, “Nice to meet you”.
“SHUT UP!” Marshal Skatz shouted.
“Yes, OK”, the Doctor muttered, “I was just saying hello”.

“What is going on Commander Marr?” Marshal Skatz asked, “What is this other alien threat on Earth?”
“I’m not sure, but the Doctor seems to know a bit about it”, Commander Marr answered, as the Doctor waved at the Marshal.
“Desist waving!” Marshal Skatz ordered, “And tell me what is going on”.
“Well, there is a group of daleks”, the Doctor explained.
“Daleks, we cannot defeat them”, Commander Marr muttered.
“Well there are only three”, the Doctor said.
“Three?” Marshal Skatz said, “If there are only three then we can easily defeat them”.
“Well instead of just sending me back to Magnusgrain”, the Doctor said, “Why not attack these daleks first?”
“No, we are to take the Doctor back to Magnusgrain immediately”, Commander Marr ordered.

“Who is in charge here?” Marshal Skatz roared.
“Erm, you, sir”, Commander Marr muttered.
“So I decide what we do!” Marshal Skatz said.
“Yes sir!” Commander Marr said.

“This Doctor seems to be cleverer than you!” Marshal Skatz said nastily, “We will attack these daleks!” The Doctor smiled and Commander Marr stared at the Doctor, annoyed.
“We change course!” Marshal Skatz said, “Head for the Atlantic ocean! Head for the Spidership!” So the ship changed course and flew as fast as it could towards the Atlantic.


Georgia marched down a corridor on floor 1, closely followed by Conner. They walked in silence until they turned a corner and saw a spider. It was a huge spider.
“Conner, what kind of spider is that?” Georgia asked scared.
“I have no idea”, Conner replied.
“I doubt that that is the size of it”, Georgia said.
“What do you mean?” Conner asked.
“Look at it, it is the size of a large dog”, Georgia said, “But it looks like a money spider”.
“But money spiders are tiny”, Conner said.
“Exactly”, Georgia said, “I think someone, or something has experimented on that spider and let it loose”.
“Georgia, it’s seen us”, Conner said and started backing away, “RUN!” So Georgia and Conner ran back along the corridor until they reached a group of UNIT soldiers.
“There’s a spider following us!” Conner told the soldiers, “It’s bloody huge!”
“Fire at it!” Georgia ordered, and repeated, “Fire at it!”
“Fire!” one of the UNIT soldiers ordered. All the soldiers fired at the spider as it rounded the corner. The spider made a loud squeaking noise and it retreated back round the corner.

“What’s going on?” Georgia asked.
“We aren’t exactly sure”, a UNIT soldier replied, “Most common species of spider around the world seem to have grown enormous and they are attacking the people. We aren’t sure what’s making this happen”.

“Why hasn’t the Captain told us?” Conner asked.
“We don’t know”, the UNIT soldier replied.
“Wait, did you say the spiders around the world?” Georgia asked. The soldier nodded.
“I’ll phone the Doctor”, Georgia said and got out her phone.

On board the 1st magnet warrior conquer ship the Doctor got out his phone.
“Georgia what is going on with you?” the Doctor asked quietly.
“I just found out about the spiders and Conner is with me”, Georgia relied, and “Where are you?”
“I’m on the magnet warrior ship”, the Doctor said, “the 1st magnet warrior ship”.
“What?” Georgia asked loudly.
“It’s a long story”, the Doctor replied.

“Doctor, how can we stop the spiders?” Georgia asked.
“Well, if you stay in large groups and stop being scared”, the Doctor answered, “Try as many things as possible to keep your hopes up and make the spiders scared of you. If the spiders are scared of you maybe you can reverse the growth”.
“Right, thanks I need to phone my parents and tell them!” Georgia said.

“Good, has the Captain warned the passengers yet?” the Doctor asked.
“No, he hasn’t”, Georgia answered.
“Right, you need to get up to the bridge and warn the passengers”, the Doctor told her.
“OK, we’ll do that too!” Georgia replied.
“Gotta go bye”, the Doctor said and he ended the call. Georgia then told Conner and the UNIT soldiers, what the Doctor had told her. The soldiers then all got out there phones and contacted their families. One of the soldiers contacted UNIT HQ, so they could spread the word, ‘Stay in groups, keep your hopes up, make the spiders scared of you’.

Georgia then phoned her parents.
“Mum, dad, are you OK?” Georgia asked.
“We’re in the bathroom Georgia, barricading ourselves from a huge…” Elizabeth answered.
“There was a huge spider!” Colin said grabbing the phone.
“Yes, yes, Georgia probably already knows”, Elizabeth told Colin barging him out of the way.

“The Doctor says you need to keep your hopes up”, Georgia told her mum.
“We are always hoping dear”, Elizabeth replied.
“Try and get into a big group”, Georgia told Elizabeth, “And keep your spirits up, somehow. Make the spiders scared of you”.
“How do we do that?” Colin asked, as Elizabeth barged him out the way again.
“I don’t know”, Georgia said.

“We could charge at the door and spray the spider with bug killer”, Elizabeth said, “We keep the bug and weed killer in the bathroom, which is where we are”.
“If only one of you had a video camera”, Georgia said, “That would be great to watch”.
“Well then we’ll do it!” Elizabeth said.
“Good luck”, Georgia said, “I love you”.
“We love you too”, Colin said barging Elizabeth out of the way, who grabbed the phone and glared at him. Georgia ended the call and Elizabeth grabbed the bug killer out of a cupboard.

“Right, give me the bug killer and I’ll bang the door down!” Colin said.
“No, I’ll do it!” Elizabeth said, “I will not have Mrs. White from next door thinking you do all the manual labour! She thinks I do all the cooking and cleaning, but you do all the fixing and all the banging and stuff!”
“Well that’s not true!” Colin exclaimed.
“Exactly!” Elizabeth said and got ready to run at the door.

“Are you sure you’re strong enough?” Colin asked.
“Yes!” Elizabeth replied quickly, “Or maybe you could charge the door down with me, so if it doesn’t work…”
“We’ll go down fighting!” Colin said, “Hold my hand”. Elizabeth grabbed Colin’s hand and they walked to the other end of the room.

“FOR GEORGIA!” Elizabeth and Colin shouted together as they ran at the door, bashing it down. They saw the spider, which had grown, but noticed that there was now more than one spider.


Back on the Spidership, Georgia and Conner had been given revolvers by the UNIT soldiers, in case they came across any spiders. They entered the lift and they ascended up to the bridge.


Meanwhile, Zac, Kaylie and several other students were running through a large cinema, on board the Spidership. They were accompanied by Mr. Renegade Amy and Andrea. The group had been running for a while and had lost the other group of children, who had followed Mrs Sow. The group stopped running in the cinema.

“I can’t run any further”, Andrea said panting.
“I think we should just surrender”, Mr. Renegade said.
“Don’t be stupid”, Zac said, “They won’t accept our surrender”.
“How dare you talk to me a teacher like that”, Mr. Renegade said loudly.

“Mr. Renegade, you are no longer in charge”, Kaylie said.
“The people in charge should be the best fighters or the ones with the most knowledge of these things…” Andrea commented.
“Well, me and Zac have met aliens before”, Kaylie continued, “We’ve fought aliens. If it wasn’t for us the whole world would have been destroyed by an army of kids. Yeah that includes you Andrea”.
“I was drugged, when that happened”, Andrea said.
“Oh, really?” Kaylie asked, “So the rest of the school were drugged as well. And all those people who saw the army of marching children with guns. The teachers just died of their own accord did they”.
“I must admit”, Mr. Renegade said, “It did all see a bit fishy, that half the staff were killed when a fire hit a fish and chip shop”.

“Look me and Kaylie are in charge because we know the truth”, Zac interrupted, “We’ve fought them more than just once”.
“Well I do remember when Kaylie went missing”, Amy said, “Me, mum and Andrea had gone on a short holiday, but Kaylie didn’t want to go. When we came back we found the door open and Kaylie had vanished. We thought she’d been kidnapped”.
“We don’t have time for this now!” Mr. Renegade snarled.

“You know that this room was dark when we came in”, Andrea commented; “Now it’s light”.
“Perhaps the sun has risen?” Kaylie said.
“Kaylie, the sun hasn’t gone down yet”, Zac replied, “Someone’s switched the lights on, or something”.
“Perhaps that thing!” Amy said, pointing at a huge tarantula that stood by the light switch. It was a very poisonous bird-eating spider, but now you could say elephant eating. It was two metres tall and about the size of a car.
