Doctor Who: The Dalek Battle

The War Commences
The Doctor and Clara are sitting in the TARDIS on chairs.

Clara: Why don't we have a lazy day, today? Not fighting monsters or saving planets?

Doctor: What if someone needs us? In the last 2053 years, I've never had a day off.

Clara looks at the console.

Doctor: Yeah. Time machine. Got it.

The phone rings.

Doctor: I'll get it.

Clara: If you need me, I'll be in my bedroom.

Clara leaves. The Doctor answers the phone. We see someone in a veil on the other end of the phone.

Doctor: Hello?

Veil Figure: Hello Doctor.

Doctor: Who are you? And how did get my number?

Veil Figure: It's a long story.

Doctor: Good. Tell.

Veil Figure: It all started about thirty years ago. I was a young, naive child. My mother was everyone I had. She wanted me to have a good education in subjects such as mathematics. But I wanted to touch the stars.

Doctor: Simple, Go outdoors.

Veil Figure: My mother told me about you. I wanted to become your companion. So I ran away. I was fourteen. Then my planet was part of a war. I'm the last of my kind. My spaceship was also attacked. I ran away in an escape pod.

Doctor: And?

Veil Figure: I spent twelve years flying through space. I thought I'd be stuck forever. Well, I had oxygen and food through a tube connected from outside the pod, but I wanted to find you. I crashed in Victorian London and got in touch with a Madame Vastra.

Doctor: Vastra?

Veil Figure: She said you had recently lost someone called Amelia Pond. She gave me your number.

Doctor: What? Vastra wouldn't do that unless you had proof that you weren't a villain.

Veil Figure: I did have proof.

Doctor: What proof?

Veil Figure: I can't tell you. Anyway, I found a time vortex manipulator on the streets. So I went travelling. Until five years ago. I was captured by the Daleks. I'm currently rigging their communication devices to get this message to you. Please save me.

Doctor: How can I trust you?

Veil Figure: One word. [Says something unheard by the viewer].

Doctor: I'll be there soon.

The Doctor puts the phone down.

Doctor: Clara!

We then go to a little later, with both the Doctor and Clara in the console room.

Clara: So who's the stray?

Doctor: Someone was kidnapped by the Daleks.

Clara: Fine.

Meanwhile, River Song is on a spaceship escaping from a grotesque monster running after her. The TARDIS materialises in front of her and the Doctor pokes his head out.

Doctor: Doctor Song, you are required!

River runs into the TARDIS.

River: So the first question is - why in the name of sanity is your hair short?

Doctor: Regenerated.

River: You could have started to grow it again!

Doctor: Didn't want to. Anyway, shall we?

The Doctor and River run to the console and start flying the TARDIS.

River: What am I required for, sweetie?

Doctor: A Dalek kidnap. Somebody knows my name.

River: So what's the plan?

Doctor: Clara, you'll sneak into the primary sector. You can wear a Dalek eyestalk to disguise yourself.

Clara: What?

More to be added soon!
