Another weird experiment for the RF's, this story is being written in reverse order. From Episode 100 - the final episode - backwards. When it's finished (begun?) we'll renumber, but in the meantime, !yojne
Episode One Hundred
"Och Doctor, he's got Zoe held prisoner." Jamie tried to staunch the slight wound on the Doctor's head.
"Yes Jamie and it's all my fault. How was I to know he had a legion of knights lying in wait for us."
There was a sound of metal against metal and Entario appeared at the hiding place. "It's time."
The Doctor looked up at the young warrior. "So soon, well try not to kill anybody. Remember it's a revolution and not a massacre."
Entario led the two off-worlders to the infiltration unit. Their job was to sneak inside the fortress using the hidden route.
"There's not a lot of warriors Doctor, if we get into a fight we won't stand a chance."
"The idea, Jamie, is to sneak in without making a noise. Can you imagine the noise a hundred fully armed warriors would make?"
They made their way through the secret passageways towards the command centre. They could hear the artillary bombardments and gunfire outside. Finally they reached the outside of the command centre. Entario threw the door open and threw a smoke grenade inside. Three warriors then rushed inside only to be cut down by heavy gunfire.
"It's no use, I've got to use a gas grenade, Doctor if your friend is in there I'm afraid that she'll be killed also."
The Doctor looked appalled. "You can't do that, no I won't allow it. I'll surrender before I allow you to harm anyone." He pulled a white handkerchief from his left coat pocket and waved it in the doorway. "I'm unarmed and will enter under a flag of peace." There was no reply from inside. Then inspiration struck the Doctor. "Do you have a mirror?" The troops checked their pockets.
"No." They chorused.
"Any reflective surface will do." Entario passed his a gleaming bayonet.
"Will this do Doctor?" The Doctor took it from him and used it to see what was inside the room. "There's nobody in there apart from a sentinal robot. They're somewhere else."
"Of course, the fall back bunker."
They all rushed through the passageways in the fortress, descending all the time until they finally came to a set of huge blast doors. Jamie gawped at the doors. "Look at the size of those doors Doctor, it's like a doorway for a giant."
"Yes Jamie they've got to allow the movement of tanks and the such like through them. Now do you have any explosives?" Entario passed a few grenades and some plastic explosives. "No this won't do at all." Then he remembered the vials he had picked up a few days ago. "Yes with this it should boost the explosion and we should get through."
The explosion was the loudest thing Jamie had ever heard. Even with his fingers in his ears, like the Doctor suggested, it made his head fuzzy and his ears ring. He looked at the door and saw that a large piece of it was destroyed.
"Attack, take them alive if you can." Entario rushed through the hole and his few troops joined him. By the time the Doctor and Jamie entered it was all over. The force of the blast had stunned a lot of the Solar Knights and the rest had been taken captive.
"Doctor? Jamie? Zoe rushed over to her two friends and hugged each of them. I never thought I would see you again. Since I've been here I've been monitoring their efforts and it seemed like they were going to win."
"Well Zoe, have I ever let you down? Lets slip away before they try and give us medals or something."
Back by the TARDIS they had last seen almost a month ago they found Entario waiting for them. "Not staying Doctor? The new government wants to make you a general you know."
"Is that why you're here?"
"No Doctor, I'm here to say thankyou, for freeing my people."
"Well in that case you're welcome. Goodbye, I'll pop back in a few dozen years or so and see how you've managed."
The Doctor led his friends inside the TARDIS and dematerialised, on their way to another exciting adventure.
