 (MAIN RANGE): Time Daleks of The

Starring Elizabeth Olsen as The Twenty Second Doctor

Featuring Alison Pill as Lottie

Part Three of the Dalek trilogy beginning in Are You Missing Any Planets and The Dalek Noun Adjective

Previously on Doctor Who...

There was a forbidden planet a few microseconds out of normal space and time, known as Xanon Prime. On this planet lies Dalek Prison 321, and the Doctor has been there twice before. The first time, in her Seventh Incarnation, she forgot it was there. The second time, she met Lottie Palaver, a womsn that reminds the Doctor a lot of herself in her early days. Willing to do anything for the name of good, and science, and frankly, results. She splinters herself into many copies, and they fall across space and time. Since then, the Doctor's regenerations fly by, and the Doctor has had to drop her best friend Paige in the dust, as she is called into a larger war that will involve Peter Capaldi... 

But before that, she's going to meet Lottie again. 

Chapter One

Why the hell am I going back here, Lottie thought to herself, flying her spaceship towards Xanon Prime. It had been positively ages since she had been here. Back then she was one person. The Doctor had one of her copies stay on Xanon to keep the Daleks in prison. 

That copy had just sent a message. 

Lottie could remember it now.

"Hey, me." Lottie had coughed. She was an old woman now, or at least this version was. "I had brokered a deal with the prison guards here. The Time Lords aren't happy with what I've done to the timestream. I told them I promised the Doctor to keep the Daleks here. And so, they came up with a deal, that either I'd serve in the prison, keeping the Daleks here as a warden, or one of my splinters would. I...I... That was Twenty Years Ago. I'm running out of life. Getting sick of radiation poisoning. I need to you to come here.... need you to fulfill my promise..." 

And so Lottie had to come, whether she liked it or not. She and two other splinters of herself had drawn straws. 

Anyway... the Daleks had broken out once. They'd upgraded security. It was over. There was no way, Lottie assured herself, that it'd happen again...

The Planet Surface

The Doctor's TARDIS appeared once more on the planet of Xanon. "Oh, come on!" She sputtered, stepping out of the TARDIS. "This is...probably the third time I've ended up here! That never happens on a planet that's not Skaro, Gallifrey or Earth." 

She did a headstand. 

"Yep, definitely Xanon, unmistakable gravity level." She commented. "Now, what's brought me here?" 

Someone cleared their throat. "Achem." 

The Doctor turned towards them. "Ollistra! I haven't really seen you since the Last Great Time War!" 

Ollistra strolled forward.

"A new body too, nice!" 

Ollistra looked at the Doctor, half believing. "I know you've came here multiple times. I'd understand if you lost your memory the first, and then accidentally arrived again, but- Why are you here, Doctor?" 

The Doctor sighed. "The TARDIS took me here." 

"That rickety old thing? I wonder how you keep it working." Ollistra commented. "When it inevitably breaks down on you, I'll pay for a newer model." 

"Gee, thanks." The Doctor said in an unappreciating tone. "You weren't here last time, so maybe I should sum up- There was an inverted time explosion! These Daleks we've kept in prison here, they aren't going to stay that way, and you know it!" 

"Well, exactly, Doctor. The human you left here, Leticia Palaver, she taught us that. As a matter of fact, Gallifrey is currently considering execution via dispersal." 

"Please don't do that. You do recall that when you do that you send them to a dimension filled with anti-time? It's very messy." The Doctor commented. "I would know, I got sent in there and turned into an eldritch abomination and I had to be impaled multiple times to get out." 

"I will definitely keep it in mind." Ollistra commented. 

"Wait, hold on. If Lottie's is still in charge here, then why are you here, Ollistra?" 

"Well, from my point of view in the timeline, Gallifrey just went boom for the third time! Xanon is invisible. What we're doing right now is hoping to clear off the Dalek prisoners, and found a New Gallifrey on this planets remains, hidden from every map in the universe."

The Doctor sighed. This was typical. "I need to talk to Lottie." She said. 

Chapter Two

The Doctor came into Lottie's bedroom. Lottie had grown old, using up her entire lifetime here, even more on the way. 

"Hello, Lottie." The Doctor said.

"Doctor?" The old woman asked. "No one else calls me Lottie anymore. It's all Leticia Palaver this, Leticia Palaver, that-" Lottie coughed. "Another one of my selves is coming here to stand guard on the Daleks like you asked." 

"Good. You're more honorable than I remember." The Doctor responded. "You know what Ollistra's planning?"

"What?" Lottie rasped. 

"She thinks you're running out of life, and as soon as this version of you dies up, she wants to kill all of the Daleks and reshape this world into a new Gallifrey." 

"...That's an act of war on Skaro." Lottie mumbled. 

"You think they'd be smart enough to avoid it the second time around." The Doctor said. "As much as, well, to be frank, I don't value Dalek life, I can't let Ollistra risk everything again, Lottie. I need your help."

"I'm so tired, Doctor. And some days I'm so, so angry at you for putting me here." Lottie said sadly. The Doctor looked at her, and noticed she no longer had the smile lines she used to have. She was wrinkled and old. Her hair was very grey indeed. "Some days, I'd swear you out for all the misery you've caused me. But you're right. Keep a good heart, Mum would have said." Lottie said, reaching by her bedside for her cane and pulling herself up. "We need to make sure this place doesn't go to hell." 

The Doctor led Lottie to the door. 

"Lottie, is there anyone we should talk to?" 

"Signet. She's the leader of the guard here." Lottie said. The two of them walked by the cells, which then began to rattle with fury. An Eyestalk turned towards them, and a grating voice shrieked. "THE DOCTOR IS HERE!" 

And just like that, all of the Cells, even the most decrepit and barely surviving Mutants, every Dalek in the prison, regardless of casing, shape, or type, all began to enter a mad anger.

"THE DOCTOR! THE DOCTOR IS HERE! THE DOCTOR IS HERE!" The Daleks all screamed, and the screaming of rage echoed throughout the prison.

The Doctor gritted her teeth as she and Lottie foraged past.

Chapter Three

Meanwhile, the other Lottie, the young one, pulled down her ship and landed on the platform outside the great prison of Xanon Prime. She stepped out. 

"Leticia Palaver." Ollistra said, walking up to her and shaking her hand in greeting. "You are- young."

"No, I'm an extradimensional temporal anomaly that retroactively was shattered into splinters around the timestream, but sure, let's go with that. Nice to meet you, um?"

"I am Cardinal Ollistra, last of the great high council of Gallifrey. We know each other." 

"Sorry, um, yeah." Lottie said somewhat neurotically. "I, like, don't have my other selves' memories except for my original life, so-" 

"Ah. Then we'll start on a new page." Ollistra said, sharply, grinning in a soft way that although had a kindly look, was subtly ferocious. 

Ollistra led Lottie inside, only for them to run out screaming.

"The Daleks have broken free!" Lottie yelled. 

Meanwhile, inside, The Doctor and Old Lottie began to freak out. 

This was because the Daleks had all spontaneously smashed through the bars. 

"How! How can they do that!" Lottie exclaimed. 

"Someone on the staff is a traitor. Or has been co-opted by Dalek Parasites. Or has been blackmailed. Or has been made into a Dalek duplicate by the pathweb. Frankly, there's plenty of ways this could happen, and I'm pretty sure it's probably happening at this exact moment because they were waiting for a nice opportunity." 

A Stained Glass Dalek, A Special Weapons Dalek, a RTD Dalek Supreme and a Paragign Eternal Dalek surrounded them. 

"They really are going for the variety today, huh." Lottie said. 

Lottie was then impaled by a plunger. 

"THIS PRISON IS OURS! THIS PRISON IS OURS! WELCOME TO THE PRISON OF THE DALEKS!" 

Chapter Four

The other Lottie and Ollistra watched as the door flew off it's hinges from a blast and the Daleks rolled outside. 

"They still have their weapons!?!" Lottie screamed. 

"No, they must have stolen some from the armory! They had help!" 

Lottie glared at Ollistra. 

"No, it wasn't me! Why are you glaring at me like that! I thought you were the cute nerdy scientist person!" 

Lottie continued to glare ominously at Ollistra.

"Okay, fine! I told Signet to make it less difficult than usual for the Daleks to break out so that if they did, we would have an excuse to kill them and make this planet A New Gallifrey without an intergalactic war declared between us and Skaro!" 

Lottie slapped her. 

"I did deserve that, yes!" Ollistra agreed. "But at the moment, we need to defeat these Daleks!" 

Lottie reached into her pocket and whipped out a Blaster. 

"That's- where'd you get that!" Ollistra yelled. 

"I'm a semi-amoral timeline splintered scientist that doubles as an intergalactic vigilante!" Lottie yelled back, firing at the Daleks. There were many "booms." 

"What can we do to stop these guys!" Lottie asked, after a considerably long time of firing at Daleks. "There are so many of them!" 

"Well," Ollistra said, "When Daleks are first placed here they have bombs put inside their casing to stop break-outs like this. All I'd have to do is get Signet's remote to destroy all of them."

Lottie narrowed her eyes. "And then you'd have gotten exactly what you want with no negative consequences whatsoever." 

"Yes!" Ollistra said earnestly. 

Meanwhile, 

The Doctor was surrounded by many, many Daleks. Suddenly a dark skinned woman was pushed into the circle where the Daleks had surrounded her. 

"Doctor?" The woman asked.
"Who are you?" The Doctor replied. 

The woman said, eagerly. "Captain Signet! Leader of the Prison Guard! We served together at the battle for Skull Moon!" 

"Okay, well, then." The Doctor said, putting on her 'brainy glasses' which were actually just off-brand Luna Lovegood specs. "Do you know any way we can stop all of these Daleks?"

"Well, um-" Signet began, embarrassed. 

Chapter Five

After a few moments of frenzied whispering between the Doctor and Signet, finally the Dalek crowd parted to reveal a Golden Emperor Dalek. "DOCTOR," It boomed, intimidatingly. "WE HAVE BEGAN THE ULTIMATE PLOT. NOW THAT GALLIFREY IS DESTROYED, THIS PRISON'S GUARDS ARE THE LAST BASTION FOR THE TIME LORDS. WHEN THE MISERABLE PEOPLE HERE ARE EX-TER-MINATED, WE WILL HAVE CONTROL OVER ALL GALLIFREYAN TECHNOLOGY! WE SHALL CONQUER THE ENTIRE COSMOS IN THE NAME OF THE DALEK EMPIRE, AND HA-HA YOU WILL BE TOO DEAD TO NOTICE!" 

"Well then, seems you have it all figured out." The Doctor began, cleverly. "Except, who's doing your merchandising?"

"WHAT?"

"Merchandising. It's about half the profit from an invasion. What? You mean, you aren't selling Dalek plush toys, and Lunch-boxes, and key-chains, and an absurd number of Funko Pops? Sorry, Supreme Dalek, but it doesn't sound to me like you have it going!" 

"MERCHANDISING IS IRRELEVANT. WE SHALL KILL ALL OTHER LIFE-FORMS, INCLUDING CAPITALISTS!" 

The Doctor got out her cell phone and tweeted #DaleksAreCommunist, and suddenly the entire prison was bombarded by heavy lasers, the cancelling ability of Future Twitter. 

"Quick, Duck under a door frame!" Signet said, walking over to the Doctor. 

"Um, that's actually a commonly misconcieved myth," The Doctor began, as rubble from the building began to fall around them. "It is no safer to be in the middle of the room, or a door-frame, or whatever!" A Rock fell on The Doctors head. 

Lottie and Ollistra rushed in.

"Doctor!" Ollistra called. 

"That's the Doctor? Oh, right, they change faces. Um, Doctor," Lottie said, "This whole thing is Ollistra's fault. She organized a prison break so she could have a new Gallifrey!" 

"Speaking of, Signet." Ollistra said smugly, to which Signet handed her a remote which she pressed, and the remaining Daleks that weren't crushed by the Twitter rubble exploded. 

The Doctor and Lottie glared at her. 

"Wow, you guys are really good at ominously staring." Ollistra commented. 

Epilogue:

Lottie sat in the rubble. "And so ends the saga of The weird Dalek Prison thing." She commented.

"Ollistra played us all for fools. She's gotten exactly what she wanted." The Doctor said. "She's like the Seventh me, but not at the moment scottish." 

"Well, Doctor, could you give me a lift?" Lottie asked. 

"Fine. But by no way are you becoming my companion. I just left Paige to do weird arc things." The Doctor commented. 

Lottie and The Doctor walked into the TARDIS doors, only for Lottie to scream and subsequently disappear into nothingness. 

"What?" The Doctor asked, confused.
