PART THREE

opened her eyes slowly, trying to focus upon her surroundings. Her head
ached which she rubbed gently with her hand and she sat up from the
metallic surface she had been lying upon.
The room, she
observed, was small and metallic. It had no windows and there appeared
to be no sign of a door. Ace examined the walls closely but could find
nothing of help. She began to kick the wall several times with her Doc
Martin boots Not expecting anything to happen she was surprised as the
wall she had been kicking suddenly and slowly began to rise.
Ace slowly moved
back away from the door as an even brighter light now filtered into the
room. As she covered her eyes from the glare she could just make out
the shape of something standing behind it. The sight was all too
familiar to her...there before her was the familiar shape of a Dalek!
'Move back move back!!' screeched the Dalek, as it glided into the room, it's gun aimed squarely at Ace.
Ace did as the
creature commanded: 'What do you want with me?' she asked, trying very
hard not to show any emotion whatsoever, except to make it clear to the
Dalek that she wasn't at all afraid.
'You are an enemy of the Daleks!' it answered, 'You are to become one of us. You-will become a Dalek and serve the supreme beings of the Universe!'
'I'll never serve you lot, scum bag!' shouted back Ace. 'You'll just have to kill me!'
'That won't be necessary,' said a voice from behind the Dalek.
The Dalek's
single eye swung round. Zaran now stood in the doorway of the room. 'All
we have to do is stun you, and take what we want from you, it's as
simple as that, really.' he said mockingly.
'You'll have to catch me first,' whispered Ace and seeing her chance ran towards Zaran, knocking him to one side.
The Dalek swung its body casing towards the doorway and opened fire at the fleeing figure. 'Stop! Stop!' it screeched.
Zaran had recovered himself. 'She won't get far, not on this ship.'
'You have failed us.'
'What?'
'The humanoid shall be caught and exterminated. You will become one of us!'
