Doctor Who: The End of the World (FIRST DOCTOR FAN-FICTION)

whirring of the engines much louder now. He began fiddling with the controls, with out any particular knowledge or skill, in an effort to open the door. Miraculously, the door slid open to reveal a large room with gigantic fans and a small narrow walk way.

“Is it me, or is it a bit nippy?” joked Ian. Meanwhile Barbara and Susan were walking down one of the many corridors. Susan had found yet another contraption that she was marvelling in, only to discover it was a drinks machine. And it was broken. Suddenly a black clocked figure knocked them unconscious. They dragged the two women away.

It's enormous!” exclaimed ian. “That's a great bit of air conditioning. Sort of nice and old fashioned.” Ian then caught a glimpse of the spider that had been stalking them.”

“What's that?” he asked Jabe. She let out a branch-like lasoo to bring the metal creature down off a high girder. “Excellent!”

“Thank you.” said jabe “We're not supposed to show them in public.”

“Don't worry, I won't tell anybody. Now then, who's been bringing their pets on board?”

“What does it do?”

“Sabotage, I assume!”

The automated computer voice said: “Earth Death in ten minutes.”

“And the temperature's about to rise soon!” said Jabe, with a worried tone.

“Good think we caught it then!” said Ian, feeling quite the hero. Ian and Jabe left the way they had came.

Meanwhile the Doctor had been on his travels again. He had grown bored and had now been left alone. He went to find Barbara and Susan who had been gone for quite a while. In the corridor he met Ian and Jabe.

“Look Doctor!” Ian said to the Doctor, “We think this has been causing some sabotage today!”

“I dare say it has been!” replied the Doctor. The conversation had barely been allowed to progress when an army of little blue men ran past them, almost knocking the Doctor over.

“Trouble?” asked Jabe.

“Let's find out then!” exclaimed Ian. They came across the steward's office. The door was blackened and smoke was billowing out of it. The sun filter could be seen rising back up again.

“Is the Steward in there?!” asked Jabe, visibly worried.

“I am afraid so” responded the Doctor. “He told me and the rest of the guests that this is where he could be found. Tragic!” Ian looked at a control panel. It said that another sun filter was about to descend. He was just about to tell the Doctor this fact when they heard screams.

“Grandfather!”

“Doctor!” the screams echoed from around the corner. The computer voice kept on repeating 'Sun Filter Descending' 'Sun Filter Descending'. The Doctor and Ian, accompanied by Jabe, rushed the short distance to the door.

“Is anyone in there?” Ian shouted.

“Ian!” shouted Barbara from inside. He began tugging at the door.

“Doctor!” Ian exclaimed as he brung up the rear. “Barbara and Susan are in there!”

“Oh, you silly girls!” he shouted through the door. “We'll have to get that sun filter back up though, otherwise we'll all meet the same fate as that poor unfortunate steward back there!” Ian began utilising the luck that he had acquired with the control panel in the tunnels.

'Sun filter rising'. He'd done it! All the people around him began applauding as two distressed, but unharmed figures rushed out of the door. Ian gave Barbara a hug whilst the Doctor gave his granddaughter a stern look followed by a loving smile.

“We'll you're safe, my child, that is all that matters!”
