DETONATE THE REALITY BOMB!
Chapter Two The Daleks escorted the captives down into the center of the Crucible. As they walked, the Doctor suddenly grunted and nearly stumbled when he was shoved violently from behind. He turned his head and gazed at Sylvia’s enraged face. “This is all your fault!” he said, jabbing her finger in his face. “Because of you the whole universe is gone! I swear I’m gonna make your life a livin’ hell for this!” “Leave him alone, Sylvia,” Wilf said as he walked behind her. “It’s not his fault.” “Oh?” she said to him.” If he hadn’t stumbled into Donna’s life and messed up everything, none of this would have happened! It’s his fault! It’s all his fault!” PRISONERS WILL CEASE COMMUNICATION!” the Dalek nearest her said. She immediately shut up. “Thank you,” the Doctor muttered under his breath. Five minutes later they reached the cell block. All of the cell walls were made out of Perspex. Each cell had two cots on the sides of the walls, a sink and a toilet. OPEN CELL DOORS, the Dalek said. Immediately the doors swung open. PRISONERS WILL DIVIDE UP AND GO INTO THE CELLS! MOVE! The Doctor took Rose’s hand and headed for the first cell. He was about to go in when he noticed his clone was right behind him. “Where do you think you’re goin’?” he asked the clone. “I’m following Rose.” “Uh, no, you’re not. Rose is with me and---“ He grunted when the clone pushed past him and went into the cell. The Doctor started to turn but noticed a Dalek was right behind him. YOU WILL ENTER THE CELL, DOC-TOR! “Yeah, um…can Rose and I go to another cell, preferably one without a clone in it?” He gasped when the Dalek shot a laser bolt near his foot. “Right! Goin’ in,” he said as he and Rose walked inside. Donna started to follow him inside when she noticed Jack walking past him with Ianto and Gwen. Thinking fast she reached out and seized him by his shirt and pulled him inside with her. Jack grunted and nearly stumbled onto the floor. He reached out and snatched Ianto’s shirt and Ianto grabbed Gwen’s hand as all of them were pulled inside. The Doctor sat down on the cot with Rose and gave a warning look to the clone when he started to sit down with them. The clone backed off slightly but kept his eyes directly on Rose. “Let me through, you big tin monstrosity!” The Doctor groaned when Sylvia stomped into the cell followed by Wilf. He quickly jumped up and tried to run out the door. YOU WILL STAY IN THE PRISON! the Dalek said to the Doctor. “No, please let me and Rose switch to another cell. I’ll go anywhere. I’ll even go outside the Crucible, just don’t put me in here with Donna’s mother!” He gasped when the Dalek fired another bolt at his feet. Gritting his teeth, he turned and froze when he saw the clone slowly inching towards Rose. The clone froze with a deer in the headlights look and quickly hurried to the other cot while the Doctor gave him a look of death. Meanwhile, Sarah Jane, K9, Luke, Clyde, Maria and her dad went into the cell across the way while Mickey, Jackie, Martha and her family went into the cell next to it. Once everyone was inside, the Daleks commanded the doors to close and once they were shut and secure they glided away leaving them alone. In the first cell, The Doctor sat beside Rose on the cot while the clone, Jack and Wilf sat on the other side. The clone glanced at Jack who was giving him a charming smile and quickly leapt up and went over by the door. Donna saw her chance and quickly moved to his spot. Meanwhile, Ianto was sitting on the floor beside the cot with Gwen and Sylvia, who was shooting daggers directly at the Doctor. The Doctor shifted uneasily under her look of death and stood up, intending to take control of this very odd situation. He cleared his throat loudly and waved his hands getting everyone’s attention. “Um…I guess for the time being we’re all prisoners here so we’re gonna have to learn how to get along with each other.” He gave Sylvia a pointed look. “We are the last living beings in all the universes besides that lot out there and it’s up to us to make a little family of sorts for as long as we’re here. That means…” He gave Sylvia another pointed look. “No fighting of any kind, no finger pointing, no blame and no one stealing anyone’s significant other,” He gave the clone a pointed look. The clone snorted softly when he turned his attention back to everyone else. “In the meantime, we must make plans to escape, defeat the Daleks and Davros and seize the Crucible for ourselves.” “And then what?” Sylvia spat out. “Where do we go after that?” “I don’t know, Sylvia,” the Doctor said testily. “But it beats sitting in a teeny tiny cell, don’t you agree?” “What about K9?” Sarah Jane asked. “Maybe he can open the cells.” “Good idea. K9, try to open the cell door.” “Affirmative, Master.” Everyone watched as he glided towards the door and the long probe came out of his head. He aimed it at the door and everyone held their breath. For a few minutes, nothing happened and then K9 glided back. “Cannot open door, Master. It is dead lock sealed.” “Bollocks,” the Doctor said while everyone groaned. “Okay, everyone, if that won’t work we’ll have to come up with a way to trick the Daleks and Davros into opening the doors and letting us escape.” “Then what, Doctor?” Jack said. “Do you have any weapons because I sure don’t.” “Then we use the greatest weapons we have, our brains! We can use our free will and our brains to outsmart the Daleks and Davros and put them in these cells while we take control of the Crucible.” He looked over at the clone when he raised his hand. “Yeah?” The clone stood up. “I got a better idea. How about we find a way to blast the Daleks and Davros into atoms so we don’t have to deal with them anymore.” “No. Now sit down.” The clone rolled his eyes and muttered to himself about how the Doctor was too much of a goody goody while he slid back down to the floor. The Doctor ignored his grumblings and continued on with the makeshift town meeting. “Anyway as I was saying, this is all awkward for us but we need to bond with each other and become a family because we’re all we got now!” “That include me?” The Doctor looked at the clone. “Um…yeah, as long as you behave yourself.” “I wouldn’t talk if I were you, Mister Manic.” The Doctor sighed. “Anyway, that’s all I wanted to say. Just keep your hopes up and your spirits alive and we will get the upper hand in all this.” He turned and sat back down beside Rose. Davros glided back and forth in his chair thinking to himself about what he did and how he could correct it. He noticed a Dalek standing nearby and glided over to him. “Why didn’t you stop me from doing this?” he said. WE WERE CREATED TO FOLLOW YOUR ORDERS! Davros shook his head and glided over to the wall. He pressed a button and a large window appeared in the side of the ship. He looked out and frowned when he didn’t see his vast Dalek fleet. He widened the window until it was nearly the length of the wall and stared intently looking for any sign of the other ships. He turned and glided to the other wall. He opened a window there and lengthened it until it took up the wall but there were no ships there either. He pressed a button on his chair. “Supreme Dalek, where is the fleet?” he demanded. There was a long pause. THE FLEET HAS BEEN DESTORYED! Davros was taken aback. “What? What do you mean the fleet has been destroyed?” THE FLEET WAS NOT SHIELDED LIKE WE THOUGHT. THEY WERE DESTORYED WITH EVERY-THING ELSE. Davros was stunned. “You mean the Crucible is the only thing left in the whole of creation?” THAT IS CORRECT. Davros’s mouth fell open. “Thank you, Supreme Dalek,” he said. YOU ARE WELCOME CREATOR!” Davros was so stunned that he didn’t hear the Supreme Dalek mutter, “Wanker,” as he switched off the intercom. Davros closed both windows and sat by himself, gritting his teeth while he tried to ignore Caan’s high-pitched rendition of Davros is an idiot.
