[Shadow's Lair]
The Valeyard :
You see, Princess, You cannot
Escape Your Destiny.
ASTRA:
My Destiny.
The Valeyard :
It is for this that you were born.
The Sixth Child of The Sixth Generation
of The Sixth Dynasty of Atrios.
Born to be The Sixth and Final Segment
of The Key to Time.
Come, Princess,
Prepare Yourself.
ASTRA:
I am Ready.
(Astra reaches for the tracer, and turns into The Segment.)
SHADOW:
Ah!
MERAK:
Astra!
(K9 blasts through the wall, disrupting
The Shadow's ecstasy.)
The Valeyard :
What is This?
K9:
Apologies, Master.
The Valeyard :
You mechanical idiot.
K9:
But there is An Intruder here.
The Valeyard :
I ordered her to eliminate him.....
K9:
It shall be done.
The Valeyard :
Wait. Where is The Doctor?
(K9 trundles past the Key and turns to face The Shadow.)
K9:
Ahem. The Doctor and Drax
have been eliminated.
The Valeyard :
Good. Then These Two
shall stay and witness
My Moment of Glory,
My -- apotheosis.
K9: (sotto)
Master.
The Valeyard :
Mine at last!
(The Shadow reaches for The Tracer.)
K9:
Now, Master.
(A panel opens in K9's side, and
The Doctor and Drax jump out.)
ROMANA:
No, you'll break the time loop!
MERAK:
Millions will die!
The Valeyard :
A small Beginning.
Bwahahahahaha!
Tom :
The stabiliser, Drax, now!
(Drax restores the Doctor to normal height, then himself. The Doctor pounces on The Sixth Segment.)
The Valeyard :
You interfering fool -- No one can resist
The Power of Darkness!
(The Doctor shines The Light of The Key
into The Shadow's eyes, and he recoils.)
Tom :
Quick, back to The TARDIS! Quick!
[Outside The Shadow's lair]
DRAX:
You go on, Doctor. I'll hold them off.
Tom :
How will you get back?
DRAX:
The TransMat shaft.
See you on The TARDIS.
[Shadow's lair]
The Valeyard :
Stop him! He must be stopped! Stop him!
[Outside The TARDIS]
Tom :
Good.
(The Doctor goes inside.)
ROMANA:
Come on, Merak.
Tom :
Come on, Romana.
Merak, get inside!
MERAK:
No!
Tom :
Quick, get inside, man!
MERAK:
No, Doctor, I'm staying here.
Tom :
What!
MERAK:
I'm staying here to look for Astra.
ROMANA:
But what about The Shadow?
MERAK:
Astra! Astra!
(Merak leaves.)
Tom :
No, Romana, come on.
[TARDIS]
Tom :
Set the coordinates for Zeos.
(The hole in the fake piece has grown.)
ROMANA:
We're Murderers. First Astra
and now Merak.
Tom :
Romana, it wasn't our idea to use
The Royal House of Atrios
as carriers, was it?
ROMANA:
No, but what happened
to Astra was Our Fault.
We're just pawns here to do
The Guardian's dirty work.
Tom :
I don't like it any more than you do, but it's done.
Have you set those coordinates yet?
ROMANA:
Is that all you can say? She was a living being,
and now what is she? A component.
And Merak thinks she's still alive.
No power should have that right,
not even The Guardians.
We must Do Something!
Tom :
Well, you could start by setting
the coordinates for Zeos.
ROMANA:
Why?
Tom :
Romana, you get carried away --
If you don't set those coordinates,
millions of people will die and this time
it really will be our fault.
Have you forgotten the time loop?
ROMANA:
No, I hadn't forgotten the time loop.
Can't you put the new segment in?
Tom :
In LESS than a second?
