Chapter 19 - Part 2
As they re-entered the building, the Doctor used the sonic screwdriver to fuse the door shut. Marth turned to Tish. “Are you OK?”
“I was going to snog him!”
The lights flickered as Lazarus tried to break in. “I don't think this is time to be talking about that,” Felicia remonstrated.
“Security one, security one, security one.”
The lights then all went out and doors closed. “What's happening?” Martha asked.
“An intrusion. It triggers a security lockdown. Kills most of the power. Stops the lifts, seals the exits,” Tish explained.
“He must be breaking through that door. The stairs, come on!” the Doctor said.
As soon as they reached the stairs, they heard the door crash down. “He's inside!” Martha called out.
“We haven't got much time!” the Doctor said.
They soon reached the reception room.
“Tish is there another way out of here?” the Doctor asked.
“There's an exit in the corner, but it'll be locked now.”
The Doctor turned to Felicia. “You know how to use this?” he asked holding up the sonic.
“A little,” Felicia admitted.
The Doctor threw it to her. “Setting 54. Hurry,” he said.
Felicia moved into action and began sonicing the security console.
The Doctor turned to the crowd. “Listen to me! You people are in serious danger! You need to get out of here right now!”
“Don't be ridiculous,” a woman objected. “The biggest danger here is choking on an olive!”
Then Lazarus appeared, still in his altered state, and jumped down. The crowd became paniced!
“Mum, get back!” Leo shouted.
“Leo!” Francine shouted as a table sent flying by Lazarus hit him.
Martha ran to attend to her brother.
“Over here! Everyone, downstairs now! Hurry!” Felicia called.
Lazarus stood over a petrified woman. “No! Get away from her!” the Doctor cried.
Unfortunately, Lazarus used his tail to suck the woman dry!
Francine turned to her son. “Leo! Leo!”
Lazarus turned.
“Lazarus! Leave them alone!” the Doctor called as Martha ran to her family.
She cradled Leo in her arms. “Come on, stay with me. You're OK.”
“What's the point? You can't control it. The mutation's too strong. Killing those people won't help you. You're a fool. A vain old man who thought he could defy nature. Only Nature got her own back, didn't she? You're a joke, Lazarus! A footnote in the history of failure!” He gestured to Felicia. She handed the sonic over to Martha and followed him as lead Lazarus down a corridor.
“What are they doing?” Tish asked.
“They're trying to buy some time. Let's not waste it...”
The Doctor and Felicia were down in the basement with Lazarus. “It's no good, Doctor. You can't stop me.”
“Is that the same arrogance you had when you swore nothing had gone wrong with your device?”
“The arrogance is yours. You can't stand in the way of progress,” Lazarus said.
“You call feeding on innocent people progress? Your delusional!”
“It is a necessary sacrifice,” Lazarus said.
“Who are you to make that decision?” Felicia called out.
“It's not yours!” the Doctor added.
Meanwhile Tish found that the guests were trapped. “We can't get out we're trapped!” she said.
“There must be an override switch. Where's the security desk?” Martha asked. Her sister wasn't responding. “Tish!”
Tish pointed to it. “There!”
Martha ran and jumped over the desk and waved the sonic over the console. The doors opened, and the crowd streamed out.
Once out Martha knew she had to go back. “I have to go back!”
“You can't! You saw what that thing did! It'll kill you,” Francine objected.
“I don't care. I have to go.”
“It's that Doctor, isn't it. That's what happened to you. That's why you've changed.”
“They were buying us time, Martha. Time for you to get out too,” Tish said.
“I'm not leaving him!” Martha said as she turned away.
“Martha!”
The Doctor and Felicia were in a laboratory. The Doctor had exposed the electric wiring in the light fittings, while Felicia had opened all the gas taps.
“More hide and seek, Doctor? How disappointing. Why don't you come out and face me?” Lazarus asked as he entered the laboratory.
Felicia dashed out.
“Have you looked in the mirror lately? Why would I want to face that, hmm?” the Doctor then dashed out after his companion. He hit the light switch as he did so.
KABOOM! The gas went up.
Martha heard the explosion and rounded a corner, almost running into Felicia. “What are you doing here?” the Doctor asked.
Martha held out the sonic. “I'm returning this. I thought you might need it.”
“How did you...”
“I heard the explosion. I guessed it was you,” Martha said.
“We blasted Lazarus!” Felicia said, with shortness of breath.
“Was he killed?” Martha asked.
As if on cue they heard Lazarus cry out.
“More like angered, I'd say,” the Doctor said.
The Doctor, Martha and Felicia came back to the device that had altered Lazarus. “What now? We've just gone round in a circle,” Martha said.
“We can't lead him outside. Come on, get in,” the Doctor directed.
“Is this such a good idea?” Felicia asked as she got in.
“Are we hiding?” Martha asked.
“No, he knows we're here. But this is his masterpeice. I'm betting he won't destroy it, not even to get at us.”
“But we're trapped,” Martha objected.
“Well, yeah, that's a slight problem,” the Doctor admitted.
“You mean, you don't have a plan?” Martha asked.
“Yes, the plan was to get inside here.”
“Then what?” Felicia asked.
“Well, then I'd come up with another plan.”
After a brief struggle, the Doctor brought the sonic screwdriver out of his pocket.
“What're you going to do with that?”
“Improvise,” the Doctor answered. He slid down to the floor and opened a panel.
“I still don't understand where that thing came from. It is alien?” Martha asked.
“No, for once it's strictly human,” the Doctor answered, not pausing in his work.
“Hard to believe,” Felicia whispered.
“How can it be human?”
“Probably from dormant genes in Lazarus' DNA. The energy field in this thing must have reactivated them. And it looks like they're becoming dominant.
“That's some throwback!” Felicia said.
“Some option that evolution rejected for you millions of years ago, but the potential is still there. Locked away in your genes, forgotten about until Lazarus unlocked it by mistake.”
“It's like Pandora's box?” Martha asked.
“Exactly,” the Doctor said, then complimenting both Martha and Felicia on their shoes.
Suddenly a sound came from outside.
“Is that what I think it is?” Felicia asked.
“Yes. He has switched the machine on!” the Doctor said.
“And that's not good, is it?” Martha asked.
“Well. I was hoping that it was going to take him a little bit longer to work that out.” the Doctor answered.
“I don't want to hurry you, but...” Martha said.
“I know, I know. Nearly done!” the Doctor said.
“What are you doing?” Felicia asked.
“I'm trying to set the capsule to reflect energy rather than receive it.”
“Will that kill it?” Martha asked.
“When he transforms, he's three times his size. Cellular triplication. So he's spreading himself thin.”
“We're going to end up like him!” Martha said in panic.
“Just one more!”
Outside, the capsule reflected the energy, knocking the monster, that Lazarus had become, out.
The Doctor and his companions exited the capsule. “I thought we were going through the blender then,” Martha said.
“It was quite close,” Felicia added.
“Really shouldn't take that long just to reverse the polarity. I must be a bit out of practice,” the Doctor remonstrated.
“Here he is,” Felicia said as they came to the corpse of Richard Lazarus. Human again, but still young looking.
“Oh, he looks so human again. It looks kind of pitful,” Martha commented.
“Elliot saw that, too. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.”
Outside, as the paramedics loaded what was left of Lazarus into a waiting ambulance, Francine Jones confronted the Doctor.
“Ah, Mrs. Jones, still haven't finished our chat.”
Francine slapped him hard across the face. “Keep away from my daughter!”
Martha was scandalised. “Mum, what are you doing?”
“All of the mothers, every time,” the Doctor complained.
“You're not meeting mine,” Felicia murmured, uncertain what her mother would make of any of his incarnations she had met so far...
“He is dangerous. I've been told things,” Francine said.
“What are you talking about?” Martha asked.
“Look around you. Nothing but death and destruction,” Francine answered.
The Ambulance left.
“It would have been worse without him!” Felicia said.
“He saved all of us!” Martha said.
“And it was Tish who invited everyone to this thing in the first place. I'd say technically, it's her fault,” Leo said.
Tish elbowed her brother in the ribs.
The Doctor ran off as he heard the ambulance crash, Felicia right behind him.
“Leave him,” Francine directed.
Martha shook her head and followed.
“Martha?” Tish asked.
“Not you too!”
“Sorry,” Tish said.
The Doctor, Felicia, Martha and Tish soon found the ambulance, empty of life. Empty of Lazarus, but not of corpses...
“Lazarus, back from the dead. Should have known, really,” the Doctor said.
“Where's he gone?” Martha asked.
The Doctor's gaze followed the path of destruction that Lazarus had left behind. “That way, the church,” he said.
“Cathedral. It's Southwark Cathedral. He told me,” Tish said.
They soon entered the Cathedral.
“Do you think he's in here?” Martha asked.
“Where else would he be?” Felicia asked.
“He's looking for sanctuary, where else would he go?” the Doctor asked.
Carefully, they go deeper into the Cathedral...
They eventually find him up the nave to the altar.
“I came here before, a lifetime ago. I thought I was going to die then. In fact, I was sure of it. I sat here, just a child, the sound of planes and bombs outside.”
“The Blitz,” the Doctor said.
“You've read about it.”
“I was there.”
“You're too young.”
“So are you.”
Lazarus laughed. His body made cracking sounds. “In the morning, the fires had died, and I was still alive. I swore I'd never face death like that again. So defenseless. I would arm myself, fight back, defeat it.”
“That's what you were trying to do today?” the Doctor asked.
“That's what I did today.”
“What about the other people who died?”
“They were nothing. I changed the course of history.”
“Any of them might have done too. You think history's only made with equations? Facing death is part of being human. You can't change that.”
“No, Doctor. Avoiding death, that's being human. It's our strongest impulse, to cling to life with every fibre of being. I'm only doing what everyone before me has tried to do. I've simply been more successful.
“Look at yourself. You're mutating! You've no control over it. You call that a success?” the Doctor shot back.
“I call it progress. I'm more now than I was. More than just an ordinary human.”
“There is no such thing as an ordinary human.”
Lazarus convulsed!
“He's going to change again any minute,” Martha said quietly to the others.
“I know. If I can get him into the bell tower somehow, I've got an idea that might work,” the Doctor said.
“The bell tower?” Felicia asked/
“You're so sentimental, Doctor. Maybe you're older than you look.”
“I'm old enough to know that a longer life isn't always a better one. In the end, you just get tired. Tired of the struggle, tired of loosing everyone that matters to you, tired of watching everything turn to dust. If you live long enough, Lazarus, the only certainty left is that you'll end up alone.”
“That's a price worth paying,” Lazarus replied.
“Is it?” the Doctor asked.
“I will feed soon!”
“I'm not going to let that happen!”
“You've not been able to stop me so far.”
“Leave him, Lazarus! He's old and bitter. I thought you had a taste for fresher meat,” Martha taunted.
“Martha, no!”
Lazarus lunged at Martha. She ran, followed by Tish and Felicia.
“What are you doing?” Martha asked.
“Keeping you out of trouble,” Tish said.
“I'm not sure this is a good idea!” Felicia said. “But we have to stop him! Somehow.”
“Doctor! The Tower!”
…
“Take him to the top. The very top of the bell tower, do you hear me?” the Doctor called.
“Up to the top!”
…
The three young women managed to get to the top of the bell tower ahead of Lazarus in his mutated form.
“Great, we're bait!” Felicia said.
“Can we trust him?” Tish asked.
Felicia nodded.
“We have to,” Martha said.
“He knows what he is doing,” Felicia said.
The Doctor started playing the organ.
The Mutant attacked the trio, lashing out at Martha with his tail...
Ultimately, Lazarus fell from the bell tower.
“Martha? Tish? Felicia?”
“We're okay!” Tish said as Felicia helped Martha back onto the wooden walkway.
“Thanks,” Martha said to Felicia.
“You're welcome, but it's the Doctor who really defeated him,” Felicia said.
“Who is he?” Tish asked.
“He's,” Martha paused and looked at Felicia.
Felicia shrugged.
Martha turned back to her sister. “He's the Doctor.”
Back on the floor of the Cathedral. Lazarus had turned back into his older self upon death. Martha came up, as the Doctor closed his eyes. “I didn't know you could play?”
“Oh, well, you know, if you hang around with Beethoven, you're bound to pick a few things up,” the Doctor said.
TARDIS
“There we are, on our way,” the Doctor said to Martha and Felicia, as the TARDIS dematerialised from Martha's flat.
“I hope I didn't influence your decision,” Felicia asked Martha.
“No, no, I guess I wanted his invitation,” Martha said.
“Sure.”
“And we're on our way, looking for your Doctor, Felicia.”
“Cool.”
The Doctor flipped a switch on the console. “Allon-sy!”
As they re-entered the building, the Doctor used the sonic screwdriver to fuse the door shut. Marth turned to Tish. “Are you OK?”
“I was going to snog him!”
