Evolution of the Daleks

(Jared's POV)

Dalek laboratory…

"These humans will become like me. Prepare them for hybridisation." Sec said, as the Doctor and I sneak away behind some equipment.

"Time for this song." I said, taking out my phone and the Doctor aimed his sonic screwdriver at it to transfer over the Love Live song to the radio.

"Where'd they go?" Sayaka asked, as the pigmen take the others.

"Leave us alone! Don't you dare!" Martha said, and Aozora Jumping Heart starts playing.

"What is that sound?" Sec asked.

"Ah, well, now, that would be us." The Doctor said, putting the radio down by a Bunsen burner and walks up to Sec. "Hello. Surprise. Boo. Et cetera."

"Doctor." Sec said.

"Come on Sayaka, let's dance to this." I said, giving Sayaka a twirl or two. "Whatcha think?"

"You know, you're not bad." Sayaka said, happily. "What are you gonna do now?"

"Don't know to be honest." I said, and Homura walked away from us. "Where do you think you're going?"

"Madoka is safe and sound. That's all that matters." Homura said. "I could take her with me, if I want. But Sayaka is here, so she is safe."

"What will you be doing now?"

"Going home." Homura said, pressing a button on a vortex manipulator and she teleported away. "Goodbye for now."

"Emergency temporal shift." Sec said.

"Oh, that must have roasted up your power cells, huh? Time was, four Daleks could have conquered the world, but instead you're skulking away, hidden in the dark, experimenting. All of which results in you." The Doctor said.

"I am Dalek in human form."

"What does it feel like? You can talk to me, Dalek Sec. It is Dalek Sec, isn't it? That's your name? You've got a name and a mind of your own. Tell me what you're thinking right now."

"I feel humanity." Sec said, turning away.

"Good. That's good."

"I feel everything we wanted from mankind, which is ambition, hatred, aggression and war. Such a genius for war."

"Stop, that's not what humanity means." I said, walking towards Sec. "It's about faith, hope, kindness, relationships, and love."

"I think it does. At heart, this species is so very Dalek."

"All right, so what have you achieved then, with this Final Experiment, eh? Nothing!" The Doctor said, angrily

"Well, all you're missing is this." I said, walking back over to Sayaka to give her another twirl. "A radio, that was made around this time. Playing a song by Aqours. Which shouldn't be possible, but is."

"What is the purpose of that device?"

"Well, it plays music."

"What's the point in music?" Sayaka asked, as she is still dancing with me. "You could do a lot with music. Dance to it, sing with it, fall in love with it. Jared fell in love with music from RWBY, μ's and Aqours."

"Music that I find catchy of course." I said, letting go of Sayaka's hand. "Unless you're a Dalek. All you hear is just noise, which is unfortunate, really. Missing out on something I love."

The Doctor aims his sonic screwdriver at the little radio. It emits a shriek that hurts Sec and the Daleks, and the pigmen, "Run!"

The prisoners escape and the Doctor, Madoka, Sayaka, and I follow them.

"Protect the hybrid!" A Dalek said, angrily.

"Protect. Protect. Protect." The Daleks said, as we run back down the sewers. Laszlo stays with the pigmen.

"Report status." A Dalek said.

"Pain. Pain of the flesh, like no other Dalek has felt for thousands of years." Sec said.

"The Doctor and Jared have escaped." Dalek 1 said.

"Then find them. Find them." Sec said.

"Find the Doctor and Jared. The prisoners must be recaptured." Dalek 1 said.

Sewers...

"Come on! Move, move, move, move, move!" The Doctor said, while the Doctor leads us where Tallulah is standing, lost. "And you, Tallulah! Run!"

"What's happened to Laszlo?" Tallulah asked.

"Well, it's kind of a long story." Sayaka said, as Martha drags Tallulah along. "We'll explain later."

"What's going on here?" Madoka asked, and Laszlo hangs back as the pigmen and Daleks search the sewers. "Why are the Daleks doing this?"

"I don't know." I said, while the Doctor leads us to the ladder. "It's like I can only remember events that happen so close to each other. Homura must have done this. To keep me from remembering so much of the future."

"Why would she do that?" Madoka asked, and Sec picks up the broken radio and strokes its Bakelite surface in the laboratory.

"They have ascended. Return to base." Dalek 1 said, as the pigmen leave. "Request information. What is your opinion of Dalek Sec?"

"We were created to follow him." Dalek 3 said.

"But you have doubts."

The Daleks check that they cannot be overheard.

"Affirmative."

Hooverville…

"So, you forgot what will happen in the near future for this universe." Weiss said, looking over at me. "This is great. Just great. And it was done by Homura Akemi."

"Tell me about it." Sayaka said, walking over to Weiss. "She messed up the whole of creation. Just to save Madoka from the Incubators. What was she even thinking?"

"It sounds like Homura is really reckless." Rika said. "What should we do now?"

"Maybe we should wait and see what happens." Silica said, smiling.

"Wait and see what…"

"Maybe we should." Weiss said. "We don't know what we're facing. And we will die to it, and I don't think we can come back from it."

"She does have a point." Yang said. "None of us has a chance against some Daleks. Hell Madoka, you didn't stand a chance with Homura against the Walpurgisnacht."

"And Yang, I know you and Weiss will be up against a big bad with the rest of Team RWBY and Team JNPR. An enemy I won't be able to beat with you." I said, sadly. "If the Master brings the Walpurgisnacht, SAO bosses, and some Grimm to Earth. Because of what he will be doing within 18 months, we'll be doomed."

One of the lookouts hears a grunt. He uses a pair of binoculars and finally spots a pigman looks from behind a tree. He blows his whistle and runs as the pigmen break cover, "They're coming! They're coming!"

"A sentry. He must have seen something." Solomon said.

"They're here! I've seen them! Monsters! They're monsters!" The sentry said, terrified.

"It's started." The Doctor said.

"We're under attack! Everyone to arms!" Solomon said, and rifles are handed out.

"Silica, Rika, I was wrong to bring you guys here. Get in the car." I said, while some people run away. "Like now."

"Why'd you change your mind last minute?" Rika asked. "Is it because we didn't make a contract with an Incubator or have an Aura to protect us?"

"Is that why?" Silica asked, as the pigmen get into the camp and start grabbing victims.

"Yeah. That's why." I said, watching Silica and Rika enter the Camaro. "Stay there until it's safe to come out."

"Right." Rika said.

"I promise we won't leave this vehicle." Silica said, smiling.

"Then we stand together. Gather round. Everybody come to me. You there, Jethro, Harry, Seamus, stay together." Solomon said, as the armed men, Weiss, Yang, Madoka, Sayaka, and I formed a circle around the women, by the campfire. "They can't take all of us."

"We can hold them off as long as we can." Weiss said, and the shooting from the soldiers and three super powered girls starts, with Sayaka defending me as I'm being the observer.

"If we can just hold them off till daylight." Martha said.

"Oh, Martha, they're just the foot soldiers. And with the power of two members of Team RWBY, the Law of Cycles, our fanboy with the Incarnate System, and Sayaka Miki. It won't be enough to stop some Daleks." The Doctor said, sadly.

"Oh, my God." Martha said, her eyes widening.

"Dalek Caan coming in!" I said, watching a Dalek comes flying towards us. "It's armed and ready. Take it down while you still can!"

"What in this world is?" Solomon asked.

"It's the devil. A devil in the sky. God save us all. It's damnation." Sentry said.

"Oh yeah? We'll see about that!" Frank said, firing his shotgun at the Dalek. The shot bounces off with a clang.

"That's not going to work." The Doctor said.

"How about this?" Weiss asked, sending some fire dust at the Dalek, and it bounces off the Dalek too. "What?!"

"It's my turn." Madoka said, sending an arrow shot to the Dalek's eyestalk, but it worked to no avail. "Okay…"

"We're not using the right ammunition ladies." Sayaka said, and a second Dalek swoops in and they start firing, blowing up the tents and anyone hiding there. "It's pretty obvious when you're thinking about it. Madoka and I have our weapons set to take down witches and familiars."

"While we have ours set to kill Grimm." Yang said, smirking. "No wonder we didn't make a dent on it."

"Crap." I said, looking at my two favorite huntresses and magical girls. "You girls brought the wrong ammo! I said we were facing Daleks! Not witches, familiars, and Grimm!"

"I'm sorry." Weiss said, crossing her arms. "You told me and Yang last minute."

"And you kinda told me and Madoka last minute too." Sayaka said, frowning. "And I don't use a gun in my arsenal of weapons, you forgot that. You also didn't think this through, did you?"

"Nope. And I regret. I regret bringing you girls with me today. Why did I even think it was a good idea?" I asked, walking away to cry on the Camaro.

"Jared." Madoka said, walking over to me to give me a hug. "It's okay. You're not alone anymore. I know how you're feeling, all of us magical girls do. And so will Teams RWBY and JNPR too eventually. Yes, things are sad, you may lose hope here and there and fall into despair. But you can recover from that."

"I know." I said, turning around to cling onto Madoka. "What can I do to save you guys from the Daleks?"

"Nothing really. We wanted to help you. Because we know if you went in here with just the Doctor and Martha. In whatever timeline you were in when traveling with the Doctor. You would do something reckless where you almost died to it. Just to save them, and to save us, all of us."

(Open POV)

Dalek laboratory…

"You will respect my authority." Solomon said, on screen.

Hooverville…

"Just let me try. Daleks, ain't we all the same?" Solomon asked.

Dalek laboratory…

"Underneath, ain't we all kin?" Solomon asked, on screen.

Hooverville…

Solomon puts down his rifle, "Right. See, I've just discovered this past day, God's universe is a thousand times the size I thought it was. And that scares me. Oh yeah, terrifies me right down to the bone. But surely it's got to give me hope. Hope that maybe together we can make a better tomorrow. So, I beg you now, if you have any compassion in your hearts, then you'll meet with us and stop this fight. Well? What do you say?"

"Exterminate." Dalek 3 said, and Solomon dies screaming in a burst of green energy.

Sec gasps at the sight of Solomon's pain, and the Dalek in the lab looks at him.

"No! Solomon!" Frank said.

"They killed him. They just shot him on the spot." Martha said.

"No wonder I've hated Daleks." Jared said, walking forward with the Doctor. "It's our turn, goddamnit! Kill us!"

"Kill us if it'll stop you attacking these people!" The Doctor said, angrily

"I will be the destroyer of our greatest enemy and the one who knows all about the future." Dalek 3 said.

"Then do it! Do it! Just do it! Do it!"

"Exterminate."

"No." Madoka and Weiss said, at the same time. "He can't die like that."

"I do not understand. It is the Doctor and Jared." Dalek 3 said.

"Um, what?" Yang asked. "What are they planning?"

"The urge to kill is too strong." Dalek 3 said.

"I don't know." Sayaka said. "I think it's stupid to be honest. They had a chance to kill the Doctor and Jared. And all of us here."

"I obey." Dalek 3 said.

"What's going on?" The Doctor asked.

"I forgot, but I think I can deal with this." Jared said, smiling. "Not know what happens next, for certain events."

"The two of you will follow." Dalek 3 said.

"Jared." Sayaka said, grabbing Jared's hand, stopping him from moving forward. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Jared said, moving Sayaka's hand away from him. "I know the Daleks. They like to act, before they think. Like we do."

"What about us? You saved us time and time again." Yang said. "It's time fiction."

"One condition! If we come with you, and you let Sayaka Miki and Weiss Schnee come with us, you spare the lives of everyone here! Do you hear me?" The Doctor asked.

"Wait, Sayaka and I are coming?" Weiss asked. "Two sword users?"

"Humans will be spared. Doctor, Jared, Sayaka, Weiss, follow." Dalek 3 said.

"Then Madoka, Yang, and I are coming with you and Jared." Martha said.

"Martha, stay here with Madoka and Yang. Do what you do best. People are hurt. You can help them. Let us go. Oh, and can I just say, thank you very much." The Doctor said, taking Martha's hand in his, and winks.

"Sayaka, Weiss, let's get moving." Jared said, walking away with the Doctor, Sayaka, and Weiss behind the Daleks. "They'll be fine."

"How will you know they'll be?" Weiss asked, as the Doctor has given Martha his psychic paper. "You don't know."

"I do. I have this gut feeling that everything will work out."

"You think we'll meet up with those two later. Don't you?" Sayaka asked.

Solomon's tent…

"So, um, Yang, you're close to Ruby, aren't you?" Madoka asked, watching people throw water on the remaining burning tents.

"What sort of question is that?" Yang asked, while Martha is wrapping a man's wrist in a bandage as Tallulah enters with a pan of hot water. "Of course I am close to her. I am her big sister after all. How about your family?"

"I haven't seen them in so long. But I have a feeling that they remember me now. Somehow, because the universe got rebooted again." Madoka said, smiling. "They must know the role I got myself into."

"Maybe you should go see them."

"I can't."

"Thanks. You'll be all right. It's just a cut. Try and keep it clean." Martha said.

"Thanks." The patient said, leaving the tent.

"So what about us? What do we do now?" Tallulah asked.

"The Doctor gave me this. He must have had a reason." Martha said, taking out the psychic paper.

"What's that for?"

"It gets you into places. Buildings and things. But where? They must want me, Yang, and Madoka to go somewhere but, what are we supposed to do?"

Dalek laboratory…

The Doctor, Weiss, Sayaka, and Jared are escorted in.

"Okay, you Daleks really are idiots." Sayaka said, walking towards the Daleks. "The people in that village. They were defenseless as much as us, honestly, you wanted the Doctor and Jared. And then you had the urge to kill people, because that's all you want."

"You good for nothing, machines that are worse than those Atlesian robots I have back home!" Weiss said, angrily. "Killing people like they're nothing, because that���s what a Dalek is good for."

"The deaths were wrong." Sec said.

"Wait, what?" Jared asked, walking around the room.

"That man, their leader, Solomon. He showed courage."

"And that's good?" The Doctor asked.

"That's excellent." Sec said.

"Is it me or are you just becoming a little bit more human?"

"You are the last of your kind, and now I am the first of mine."

"What do you want us for?"

"We tried everything to survive when we found ourselves stranded in this ignorant age. First we tried growing new Dalek embryos, but their flesh was too weak."

"Yeah, I found one of your experiments. Just left to die out there in the dark."

"It forced us to conclude what is the greatest resource of this planet. Its people." Sec said, throwing a breaker switch and lights up the whole place.

"Talk about a laboratory." Weiss said, seeing the hundreds of covered bodies on stretchers floating above them.

"Loads of innocent people used like lab rats." Sayaka said, while Sec brings one of the bodies down for inspection. "I don't like it, really."

"We stole them. We stole human beings for our purpose. Look inside." Sec said, as the Doctor uncovers a man's face. "This is the true extent of the Final Experiment."

"Did you kill him? Is he dead?"

"Near death, with his mind wiped, ready to be filled with new ideas."

"Now you want to fill them with Dalek ideas." Jared said, walking around. "Ideas of not liking things that aren't Dalek."

"The Human Dalek race." Sec said.

"How many people did you use for experiments?" Sayaka asked. "I want to know, for your sake. And for ours."

"We have caverns beyond this storing more than a thousand."

"Can you make them human again?" Weiss asked. "Besides putting them in their factory settings."

"Everything they were has been lost."

"So they're like shells. You've got empty human beings ready to be converted. That's going to take a hell of a lot of power. This planet hasn't even split the atom yet. How're you going to do it?" The Doctor asked.

"Open the conductor plan."

Solomon's tent…

"Hang on, I remember something." Madoka said, walking towards Martha. "In the sewers. It was this energy conductor of some kind, I think."

"What?" Yang asked. "What kind of energy conductor? Is it powered by Dust?"

"I don't think so."

"Maybe like a lightning conductor or…" Martha said, coming up with a theory.

"It could be Dalekanium!" Madoka said, happily. "The outer shell of a Dalek! That's why Jared said to bring weapons that would stop a Dalek. I should have known."

"Oh." Tallulah said, sadly.

"Madoka, you're right. They said the Dalekanium was in place." Martha said.

"In place where?"

"Frank might know."

Hooverville...

Frank is in mourning.

"Frank?" Martha asked.

"Hmm?" Frank asked.

"That Mister Diagoras, he was like some sort of fixer, yeah? Get you jobs all over town?"

"Yeah. He could find a profit anywhere."

"But where?" Madoka asked. "What sort of things did he do to help you guys make a profit?"

"You name it. We're all so desperate for work, you just hoped Diagoras would pick you for something good. Building work, that pays the best." Frank said.

"What sort of building work?" Yang asked. "It can't be that obvious."

"Mainly building that." Frank said, pointing over his shoulder to the Empire State Building.

Dalek laboratory…

"The Empire State Building." Sayaka said, looking at the Empire State Building on the big screen. "So what? We're in another secret base, below a major landmark. Let me guess, you've hijacked the entire building."

"We needed an energy conductor." Sec said.

"For what purpose?" Weiss asked.

"I am the genetic template. My altered DNA was to be administered to each human body. A strong enough blast of gamma radiation can splice the Dalek and human genetic codes, and waken each body from its sleep."

"Gamma radiation?" Sayaka asked. "What are you talking about?"

"They're using the sun." Weiss said, looking at Sayaka. "That's what they're up to."

"Soon the greatest solar flare for a thousand years will hit the Earth. Gamma radiation will be drawn to the energy conductor and when it strikes…" Sec said.

"Your army of Human Dalek hybrids wake up." Jared said, walking around the room again.

"I still don't know what you need us for." The Doctor said.

"Your genius, Doctor, and Jared's foreknowledge mixed with hope and despair. Consider a pure Dalek, intelligent but emotionless." Sec said.

"Removing the emotions makes you stronger. That's what your creator thought, all those years ago."

"He was wrong."

"He was what?"

"It makes us lesser than our enemies. We must return to the flesh, and also the heart."

"But that would make you no longer Daleks." Sayaka said. "If you become more human. The supreme rules of the universe, gone. Honestly, choose one or the other."

"And that is good. Us becoming more Dalek and less human, Sayaka Miki." Sec said.

"That is incorrect." Dalek 2 said.

"Daleks are supreme." Dalek 3 said.

"No, not anymore." Sec said.

"But that is our purpose."

"Then our purpose is wrong. Where has our quest for supremacy led us? To this. Hiding in the sewers on a primitive world, just four of us left. If we do not change now then we deserve extinction."

"So you want to change everything that makes a Dalek a Dalek." Weiss said. "I don't like this one bit. It's wrong, but it's so right. What can we do?"

"If all of you can help me." Sec said.

Service lift…

"I always wanted to go to the Empire State. Never imagined it quite like this, though." Martha said.

"Well, it is the Empire State of Mind." Yang said, coming up with a bad pun. "What do you think?"

"I don't know." Madoka said. "I think it's good."

"How come those guys just let us through? How's that thing work?" Tallulah asked.

"Psychic paper. Shows them whatever I want them to think. According to this, we're three engineers and two architects." Martha said.

Dalek laboratory…

"Your knowledge of genetic engineering is even greater than ours. The new race must be ready by the time the solar flare erupts." Sec said.

"So, what's the plan?" Weiss asked. "You must have one."

"I don't have one, honestly." Jared said, taking some custard creams to eat them. "I usually do. But for some reason, I can't think of one."

���It's not that big of a deal if you don't have a plan." Sayaka said, eating some of the custard creams too. "What do you want to do?"

"I want to protect the ones I love and care about. If I lose all of you one day, I don't know if I can fight another one."

"So, you know how I felt that day. When I lost…"

"I do. Losing Rose Tyler affected me badly. I don't want to lose you too. Any of you girls, magical or huntress. Team JNPR as well."

"That explains why you've been trying to stay hyper and energetic. To hide how you really feel." Weiss said. "Why you never fight back. When you're upset, hungry, or getting sweaty, you let out how you really feel."

"Daleks must follow orders." Dalek 2 said.

"Dalek Sec commands, we obey." Dalek 1 said.

"If you don't help me, nothing will change." Sec said.

"There's no room on Earth for another race of people." Sayaka said, sadly. "It's chock full of humans, plants, and animals. It's impossible really."

"No, it's not Sayaka. Doctor, you have your Tardis. Take us across the stars. Find us a new home and allow the new Daleks to start again." Sec said.

"When's that solar flare?" The Doctor asked.

"Eleven minutes."

"Right then. Better get to work."

Works office…

"Look at this pace. Top of the world." Tallulah said.

"We're not that bad of a team." Madoka said, going to the drawing board with the blueprints on it with Martha and Yang. "The three of us."

"We really aren't." Yang said, smiling. "We have that wavelength, that works."

"Okay, now this looks good."

"Um, look at the date." Madoka said, happily. "The designs for the Empire State Building. They were issued today."

"They must've changed something last minute." Frank said.

"You mean the Daleks changed something?" Martha asked.

"They could have." Yang said. "For better or for worse, Doctor Jones. Not like we're in Indiana or anything."

"The ones underneath, they're from before. That means that whatever they changed must be on this top sheet but not on this one. We need to check one against the other."

"The height of this place! This is amazing." Tallulah said, excitedly.

"Be careful, we're a hundred floors up." Madoka said, looking at Tallulah. "Don't walk too far from us, okay?"

"I just want to see." Tallulah said, going to the open area and looks out towards the Chrysler Building. "New York City. If aliens had to come to Earth, oh, no wonder they came here."

Dalek laboratory…

"Another Aqours song." Sayaka said, looking down at what Jared is listening to on his phone. "The future is really bothering you, huh."

"It is." Jared said, hugging Sayaka. "I don't think I can let it go."

"You said we've got ten years until Thanos comes." Sayaka said, while the pigmen carry in a large crate. Laszlo is with them. "It's not that big of a deal."

"Even so, the Master must know about you guys, Teams RWBY and JNPR, and the SAO survivors. I can't, I just can't…"

"Stop being upset." Weiss said, angrily. "We're here to help and protect others. And to not make others upset."

The Doctor whispers to Laszlo, "Laszlo, I can't undo what they've done to you, but they won't do it to anyone else."

"Do you trust him?" Laszlo asked.

"I know that one man can change the course of history. Right idea in the right place at the right time, it's all it takes. I've got to believe it's possible." The Doctor said.

Works office…

The blueprints are spread out on the floor. Tallulah comes back in. A storm is brewing.

"I'll go and keep an eye out. Make sure we're safe up here. Don't want nobody butting in." Frank said, leaving the room.

"You really do remind me of Ruby." Yang said, walking towards Madoka.

"Really?" Madoka asked. "In what way?"

"You're both reckless. The two of you want to become something. Ruby, a huntress, and you, a magical girl."

"Oh, I think I'm starting to get it." Madoka said, looking up at Yang. "We're both shy, caring, childish, and kind. We both use range weapons."

"Homura must have cared a lot about you. To make her wish involve going back in time to save you."

"She did. In another timeline, I became a magical girl to save her."

"You're a physician? Really?" Tallulah asked.

"I was training. Still am, if I ever get back home." Martha said.

"You could be doctors together. Oh, what a partnership. Oh, it's such a shame. If only he wasn't so different. You know what I mean?"

"Oh, you have no idea how different he really is."

"Yeah, he's a man, sweetheart. That's different enough."

"Jared is going through a lot right now." Yang said, walking over to a backpack to take out a thermos filled with Mami's tea. "He's dealing with losing Rose Tyler. And he feels like he's been alone."

"Sometimes I feel like he doesn't really notice us magical girls." Madoka said, grabbing the thermos from Yang. "Like Homura, the people they care about. They're just remembering the past, the both of them. Um, do you think it's survivor's guilt?"

"No. But listen, if the Doctor and Jared are with Laszlo now, there's every chance that they could get him out." Martha said.

"And then what? Don't talk crazy. There's no future for me and him. Those Dalek things took that away. The one good thing I had in my life and they destroyed it." Tallulah said.

Dalek laboratory…

"You know, sometimes I feel like I'm a burden to you guys." Jared said, sitting down on the floor to think. "I just wish…"

"Don't make the mistake I made." Sayaka said. "Or any of us made. You're stronger than us. If not, our equals."

"But, how can I stop Thanos? From doing the snap?"

"We'll think of something." Weiss said, as the Doctor fills a large syringe with blue liquid and puts it into a brass still. "We always do. Never be cruel or cowardly. Never give up, never give in. You told us that before, haven't you?"

"That compound will allow the gene bonds to reconfigure in a brand new pattern. Power up!" The Doctor said, as Weiss throws one set of breakers, and Sayaka throws the other.

"Start the line feeds." Sec said, watching the liquid go up plastic tubes to all the bodies hanging above them.

It has got lots of bubbles in it.

"There goes the gene solution." The Doctor said.

"The life blood." Sec said.

Works office…

"Ooo, found it." Madoka said, looking down at the blueprints again.

"You did?" Yang asked, looking over at Madoka. "Where?"

"Nice work Madoka." Martha said, looking at the Law of Cycles. "Look. There, on the mast."

"You see those little lines." Madoka said, her hand on the blueprint. "They're new."

"That means they've added something new." Yang said, smirking. "New and what shouldn't be on there."

"Added what?" Tallulah asked.

"Dalekanium!" The four girls said, at the same time.

Dalek laboratory…

A klaxon sounds.

"What's that?" Sayaka asked.

"I don't know." Jared said, drinking a cup of hot cocoa. "If I know one thing, I want to spend Christmas with you girls and Team RWBY. A proper one, where there are no alien threats."

"What brought this up?" Weiss asked, looking down at the song Jared is listening to. "Oh Jared, we've got a lot of time together."

"You don't know that for sure. One of you could die…"

"Didn't we already have this conversation?" Sayaka asked. "Like a hundred times today. We're not gonna die."

"She's right." Weiss said. "We're gonna be with you till the very end. All of us."

"Really?" Jared asked. "You promise."

"It's a guarantee." Weiss said, while the Daleks point their gun at Sec. "From a Schnee."

"I am your commander. I am Dalek Sec." Sec said.

"You have lost your authority." Dalek 1 said.

"You are no longer a Dalek." Dalek 3 said.

"What have you done with the gene feed?" The Doctor asked.

"The new bodies will be one hundred percent Dalek." Dalek 1 said.

"No. You can't do this!" Sec said, angrily.

"Pig slaves, restrain Dalek Sec, the Doctor, and Jared." Dalek 3 said.

Laszlo is one of those that grab the Doctor. Weiss and Sayaka are defending Jared from the pig men.

"Release me. I created you. I am your master." Sec said.

"Schnee and guarantee." Jared said, hearing another alarm sounding. "Nice rhyme."

"Someone as Weiss as snow?��� Weiss asked, while the elevator is coming down. "Really?"

"Well, you are kinda like Snow White." Sayaka said, her two swords out. "Just saying, it does suit you."

"He has brought it up a million times already."

"There's the lift." Laszlo said.

"After you." The Doctor said, running away with Laszlo, Jared, and Sayaka.

"I've got this!" Weiss said, changing her dust type to blue to make an ice path blocking the Daleks from ever reaching them. "Now let's go."

"Right." The Doctor said, as Weiss ran towards him.

The Doctor uses the sonic screwdriver to get the lift doors open.

"The Doctor and Jared are escaping. Stop them! Stop them!" Dalek 1 said, and the doors slam shut in the pigmen's faces.

Lift…

"We've only got minutes before the gamma radiation reaches the Earth. We need to get to the top of the building. Laszlo, what's wrong?" The Doctor asked.

"Out of breath. It's nothing. We've escaped them, Doctor. That's all that matters." Laszlo said.

"What do you want to do with us for Christmas?" Weiss asked, looking at Jared.

"I don't know to be honest." Jared said, looking down for a moment. "I know that whatever I do over here, things will change. And whatever I do at Remnant, things will also change."

"At least you know that μ's and Aqours are a thing. You have their songs releasing overtime in the next couple of years."

"No need to worry." Sayaka said. "With great power, comes great responsibility. Magical girl, super hero, or huntsman."

(Jared's POV)

Works office…

"Thanks for buying this for me." Weiss said, while the elevator arrives.

"Doctor!" Martha said, happily.

"Madoka." I said, running up to the Law of Cycles for a hug. "How have you been?"

"Did you get me something?" Madoka asked, looking at the bag I am holding.

"You have to wait and see!"

"Hi." Yang said, joining the hug.

"We've worked it out. We know what they've done. There's Dalekanium on the mast. And it's good to see you too, by the way." Martha said.

"Oh, come here." The Doctor said, sweeping Martha off her feet. Then the lift doors shut. "No, no, no. See, never waste time with a hug. Deadlock seal. I can't stop it."

"Where's it going?" Martha asked.

"Right down to the Daleks. And they're not going to leave us alone up here. What's the time?" The Doctor asked.

"It's 11:15 PM, Spaceman." I said, looking down at the time on my Apple Watch.

"Six minutes to go. I've got to remove the Dalekanium before the gamma radiation hits."

"Gammon radiation? What the heck is that?" Tallulah asked.

"Light coming from the sun's rays." Yang said, as we run out to the open area and look out. "At least it's not a Sun day. I think."

"Oh, that's high. That's very. Blimey, that's high." The Doctor said, looking up.

"And we've got to go even higher. That's the mast up there, look. There's three pieces of Dalekanium on the base. We've got to get them off." Martha said.

The Doctor, Martha, Sayaka, Yang, Madoka, Weiss, and I look up the wooden ladder leading to the base of the mast.

"That's not we, that's just me." The Doctor said.

"We won't just stand here and watch you." Martha said.

"No, you're going to have your hands full anyway. I'm sorry, Martha, but you've got to fight. At least you have four girls and one fanboy who knows how to fight."

2019 Chevrolet Camaro...

"Never realized how much iCarly has influenced my life so much." Jared said, getting all nostalgic again.

"What are you gonna do with us?" Weiss asked. "If you don't have the will to fight."

The Doctor makes his way up the scaffolding and ironwork to the mast. He uses his sonic screwdriver to unfasten the Dalek panels from the lightning conductor.

"I'm getting old and more sad, that's all." Jared said, frowning. "What's the point in continuing?"

(Open POV)

Works office…

"The lift's coming up." Martha said, as Jared exited the Camaro with Weiss.

"Wait, where's Silica and Lisbeth?" Madoka asked.

"I sent them home. The car did, in fact." Jared said, happily. "I thought with six characters, it would be harder to write."

"Makes sense. So, are you feeling better now?"

"Only if you give me what I want the most."

"A Shamrock Shake." Madoka said, taking out the drink from the trunk of the car. "Here you go."

"Where did you…"

"Don't ask." Yang said. "Now drink up."

"Okay." Jared said, grabbing the drink from Madoka to drink it.

"It's not looking good, Frank." Martha said.

"Nope." Frank said.

"We're going to get slaughtered." Martha said, hearing thunder and lightning over the city. "Wait a minute. Lightning."

The Doctor gets the first panel off the mast. Frank, Martha, Sayaka, and Madoka get sections of metal scaffolding and use chairs to trail them in from outside.

"Aw, you'll be all right, sweetheart. Don't you worry. What the hell are you four clowns doing?" Tallulah asked.

"Even if the Doctor stops the Dalekanium, this place is still going to get hit. Great big bolt of lightning, electricity all down this building. Connect this to the lift and they get zapped." Martha said.

"Oh my God, that could work."

"Then give us a hand." Frank said.

"So, what are you girls up to?" Jared asked, as the Doctor drops his sonic screwdriver. "Right, the sonic has fell down."

Martha and Weiss has set up a line of metal from the lightning conductor to the lift doors.

"Is that going to work?" Tallulah asked.

"It has to." Weiss said. "If not, then it was a complete waste of our time."

"Madoka, Sayaka, and I have got it all piped up to the scaffolding outside." Frank said.

"Come here, Frank. Just sit in the middle and don't touch anything metal." Martha said.

"Yeah."

"Another μ's song." Sayaka said, while the Doctor gives up trying to pull the Dalek panel off and looks at the top of the mast. "Why do you like them so much?"

"It's because their songs are catchy. Especially their first song." Jared said, as the lift reaches floor 90.

The Doctor climbs onto the mast and hold on. The lift arrives.

"Here comes the lighting." Yang said, as the lightning hits the top of the mast and lights up the Doctor, who screams. "Talk about shocking."

"Yup." Sayaka said, and the electricity flows down the conductor, along the scaffolding poles and straight into the pigmen in the lift. "Definitely shocking."

The rest of it arcs down the outside of the building and into the laboratory.

"Um, Yang is like a bad pun maker." Madoka said, as the stretchers are all lowered and the people push their shrouds aside.

"That was easy." Weiss said, and the pigmen are all dead. "Too easy in fact."

"You did it, Martha." Tallulah said.

"They used to be like Laszlo. They were people, and I killed them." Martha said.

"No, the Daleks killed them. Long ago." Laszlo said.

"What about the Doctor?" Martha asked, while the Doctor is lying by the mast, very still.

"What game are you playing right now?" Sayaka asked, walking towards Jared who has his Nintendo Switch out.

"Yoshi's Crafted World. Poochy is adorable." Jared said, passing a Joy Con to Madoka. "As well as the Poochy Pups."

"Arts and crafts." Weiss said. "Really?"

"Yup. It's fun, and relaxing."

"This game really isn't hard either." Madoka said.

"I would like to take over." Yang said, while Jared passed her his Joy Con. "Thanks."

Lightning conductor…

"Doctor! Doctor? Look what we found halfway down." Martha said, taking out the sonic screwdriver. "You're getting careless."

"Oh my head." The Doctor said.

"Hiya."

"Hi. You survived, then."

"So did you, just about. I can't help noticing there's Dalekanium still attached." Martha said, while the mutated people march through the sewers.

Works office...

"You're having way too much fun playing that game." Weiss said, looking down at Madoka and Yang.

"What else is there to do? Besides 100% this game." Sayaka said, happily.

"We're gonna take our time with it." Madoka said, pressing some buttons on the left Joy Con. "It won't take that long."

"More like a couple hours at least." Yang said, pressing some buttons on the right Joy Con. "And it involves s'mores."

"The Daleks will have gone straight to a war footing. They'll be using the sewers, spreading the soldiers out underneath Manhattan." The Doctor said.

"How do we stop them?" Laszlo asked.

"There's only one chance. I got in the way. That gamma strike went zapping through me first."

"Yeah, but what does that mean?" Martha asked.

"We need to draw fire. Before they can attack New York, I need to face them. Where can I draw them out? Think, think, think, think, think. We need some sort of space. Somewhere safe. Somewhere out of the way. Tallulah!" The Doctor said, happily.

"That's me. Three Ls and an H." Tallulah said.

"The theatre! It's right above them, and, what, it's gone midnight? Can you get us inside?"

"Don't see why not."

"Is there another lift?"

"We came up in the service elevator." Madoka said.

"That'll do. Allons-y!"

Sewers…

"You really don't have a plan." Madoka said, sadly. "To, um, stop the Daleks."

"Me, no." Jared said, frowning. "When it comes to the Daleks. I just can't think straight. Especially if they can exterminate the people who aren't magical girls or huntsmen/huntresses."

"That would explain why you sent Silica and Lisbeth back home." Weiss said. "It was not because they're not useful. They are in a VR MMORPG. But in real life, where there are no weapons. Not so much."

"Yeah…"

(Jared's POV)

Theatre…

In the stalls.

"This should do it. Here we go." The Doctor said.

"You know, you have been rather moody." Sayaka said, sitting next to me. "Honestly, you don't know know what to do next. You've been listening to music from μ's and Aqours. And you've been playing video games the whole day. It's like you're not even trying. Us not dying, is not so bad, is it?"

"It really is." I said, looking down for a moment. "I don't know why I even bother with keeping it up for so long."

"Why not start in changing out you see things? It could do you a better good, like how it did us."

"Not now, Tallulah. Sorry." The Doctor said.

"What are you doing?" Martha asked.

"If the Daleks are going to war, they'll want to find their number one enemy. I'm just telling them where I am." The Doctor said, holding up his sonic screwdriver in the air, beeping.

"Jared, you should go." Madoka said, looking at me. "You have no weapons. And you're practically mortal. I don't know how to say this, but drive off and spend some time with Kirito and Asuna."

"You want me to go?!" I exclaimed. "Really Madoka?"

"The four of us have got this." Weiss said. "You're just you. At least some of us have training on our hands."

"Martha, Jared, we're telling you to go. Frank can take the both of you back to Hooverville." The Doctor said, looking at Martha and I.

"And we're telling you we're not going." Martha said, annoyed.

"Martha, Jared, that's an order."

"Who are you, then? Some sort of Dalek?"

"I'm not leaving you girls, not ever." I said, as the doors are broken down and the people march in from both sides. "Not after everything we've been through."

"Doctor! Oh, my God! Well, I guess that's them then, huh?" Tallulah asked.

"Humans, with Dalek DNA?" Sayaka asked. "Talk about a hybrid."

"It's all right, it's all right. Just stay calm. Don't antagonize them." The Doctor said.

"But what of the Dalek masters? Where are they?" Laszlo asked.

"I don't know." Yang said, looking around. "They're not masterly, are they?"

There is an explosion on stage. The two Daleks appear, with Sec on a chain and crawling on his hands and knees, like a dog.

"The Doctor and Jared will stand before the Daleks." Dalek 3 said, and the Doctor and I walk forward over the top of the seats. "You will die, Doctor, Jared. It is the beginning of a new age."

"Planet Earth will become New Skaro." Dalek 2 said.

"Oh, and what a world. With anything just the slightest bit different ground into the dirt. That's Dalek Sec. Don't you remember? The cleverest Dalek ever and look what you've done to him. Is that your new Empire, hmm? Is that the foundation for a whole new civilization?" The Doctor asked.

"My Daleks, just understand this. If you choose death and destruction, then death and destruction will choose you." Sec said.

"Believe me, us magical girls have been through that." Sayaka said, shrugging her arms. "We chose that to defeat witches, familiars, and the baddest, most strongest witch ever. And look at what happened, we destroyed the whole world. Because of our stupidity."

"Incorrect. We will always survive." Dalek 3 said.

"Now we will destroy our greatest enemy, the Doctor. And the human that has foreknowledge of everything that will come." Dalek 2 said.

"But they can help you." Sec said.

"The Doctor and Jared must die." Dalek 3 said.

"No, I beg you, don't."

"Exterminate!"

Sec stands in front of the Dalek just as it fires. Sec dies.

"Your own leader. The only creature who might have led you out of the darkness and you destroyed him. Do you see what they did? Huh? You see what a Dalek really is?" The Doctor asked.

"Daleks are worse than humans." I said, sipping on a cup of tea. "I would rather take down a witch, a familiar, or a Grimm than go up against one of them. In fact, I have, time and time again. And dying to a Dalek is the last thing I would ever want in life."

"If we're going to die, let's give the new boys a shot. What do you think, eh? The Dalek humans. Their first blood. Go on, baptise them." The Doctor said.

"Dalek humans, take aim." Dalek 3 said, and the Dalek humans did as their told.

"What are you waiting for? Give the command!"

"Exterminate!"

"Um, what just happened?" Madoka asked, looking at the Doctor and I tense. "Weren't they supposed to die?"

"Exterminate!" Dalek 2 said.

"Obey. Dalek humans will obey." Dalek 3 said.

"They're not firing. What have you done?" Martha asked.

"You see, I got emotional for nothing." I said, laughing a lot. "I saw this coming from a mile away girls."

"Unbelievable." Sayaka said, letting out a sigh. "You saw that coming? How?"

"Easy really."

"You dolt, why didn't you tell us that would happen?" Weiss asked, looking over at me.

"Because he didn't need to." Yang said, smirking. "He's armed and ready."

"What do we do now?" Madoka asked, looking at me.

"Sit back and enjoy the show. Before all hell breaks loose." I said, calming down.

"But you are not our master. And we, we are not Daleks." The foreman said.

"No, you're not. And you never will be. Sorry, I got in the way of the lightning strike. Time Lord DNA got all mixed up. Just that little bit of freedom." The Doctor said.

"If they will not obey, then they must die." Dalek 3 said, and it shoots the foreman.

"Get down!" The Doctor said, angrily.

Everyone, including me, drop below the seats as the Daleks and their mutated humans fire at each other.

"Exterminate! Exterminate!" The Daleks said.

"These Daleks are sure Dalektable." Yang said, coming up with a bad pun.

"Dalektable?" Madoka asked. "Oh, delectable."

"Exterminate!" The Daleks said.

A Dalek is destroyed.

"Extermin…" A Dalek said.

And the Dalek gets its head blown up. We stand up.

"It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. You did it. You're free." The Doctor said.

"Crap." I said, looking down for a moment. "The hybrids are gonna die!"

There is a high-pitched sound. The mutants clutch their heads then die.

"No! They can't! They can't! They can't! They can't!" The Doctor said, angrily.

"What happened? What was that?" Martha asked.

"They killed them, rather than let them live. An entire species. Genocide."

"Only two of the Daleks have been destroyed. One of the Dalek masters must still be alive." Laszlo said.

"Oh, yes. In the whole universe, just one." The Doctor said.

Dalek laboratory...

"Now what?" The Doctor asked.

"You and Jared will be exterminated." The Dalek said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just think about it, Dalek, what was your name?"

"Dalek Caan."

"Dalek Caan. Your entire species has been wiped out. And now the Cult of Skaro has been eradicated, leaving only you. Right now you're facing the only men in the universe who might show you some compassion. Because I've just seen one genocide. I won't cause another. Caan, let me help you. What do you say?"

"Emergency temporal shift!"

The cables fall off and the Dalek disappears.

"Doctor! Doctor! He's sick." Martha said, as she and Tallulah help the wheezing Laszlo. "It's okay. You're all right. It's his heart. It's racing like mad. I've never seen anything like it."

"So, what's gonna happen now?" Sayaka asked. "With Laszlo?"

"I don't know, to be honest." I said, walking around the room. "I don't want someone else to die today. There have been too many deaths."

"Yeah. There have."

"Are we gonna leave him to die?" Weiss asked. "Not even save him."

"No, you're not. Not now, after all this. Doctor, can't you do something?" Tallulah asked.

"Oh, Tallulah with three Ls and an H, just you watch me. What do I need? Oh, I don't know. How about a great big genetic laboratory? Oh look, I've got one. Laszlo, just you hold on. There's been too many deaths today." The Doctor said, as he started working with coloured liquids. "Way too many people have died. Brand new creatures and wise old men and age old enemies. And I'm telling you, I'm telling you right now, I am not having one more death! You got that? Not one. Tallulah, out of the way. The Doctor is in."

Central Park…

"Well, I talked to them, and I told them what Solomon would've said, and I reckon I shamed one or two of them." Frank said.

"Well, um, what did they say?" Madoka asked.

"They said yes. They'll give you a home, Laszlo. I mean, er, don't imagine people ain't going to stare. I can't promise you'll be at peace but, in the end, that is what Hooverville is for. People who ain't got nowhere else." Frank said.

"Thank you. I can't thank you enough." Laszlo said, happily.

Bedloe's Island…

"So, we helped a couple get back together." Sayaka said, holding my hand. "We tried to save the day, anything else?"

"Nope." I said, drinking some bubble tea. "We don't have a lot to look forward to. Besides the Vytal Tournament."

"Oh yeah, the Vytal Tournament." Weiss said, her eyes widening. "Time froze when Homura picked us up for this."

"She stopped time while we helped you out." Yang said, also recalling what happened. "It'll be like we never left."

"Yup." I said, tossing the plastic cup into a garbage can. "Madoka, what did you think of today's adventure?"

"It could be better." Madoka said. "If you weren't upset. And, um, if you weren't thinking of the future so much."

"I know."

"What for?" The Doctor asked.

"Just because that Dalek got away. I know what that means to you and Jared. Think you'll ever see it again?" Martha asked.

"Oh, yes. One day." The Doctor said, entering the TARDIS with Martha.

I entered the Camaro with Weiss, Yang, Madoka, and Sayaka.
