People walk down a street talking.
Suddenly, a gust of wind picks up.
The Tardis starts to materialise in Sheffield.
The Doctor then walks out of the Tardis and she smiles "look at that Yaz! Told ya! Only the sixth attempt" Yasmine steps out of the Tardis and she smiles "yeah, only the sixth!".
The Doctor looks at Yasmine and she says "I just thought, ya know. We've been traveling a while now, and without Graham and Ryan around, you just might want a break-" Yasmine shakes her head "no, definitely not! I'd never want a break from you" The Doctor looks at Yasmine and she says "really?" Yasmine smiles at her "of course, I love being with you" The Doctor smiles at her.
Suddenly, a massive ship then appears in the sky.
The Doctor pulls her Sonic Screwdriver out in shock.
Yasmine stares in shock "Doctor? What's going on?".
The Doctor shakes her head and she points her Sonic Screwdriver towards the spaceship and says "I don't know, but the planet's in danger!".
A massive gun starts to emerge from the spaceship.
(Title Sequence)
Starring:
Jodie Whittaker - The 13th Doctor
Mandip Gill - Yasmine Khan
The Doctor runs to the console, and she looks down at a computer screen.
Yasmine runs over and looks at The Doctor "what is it?" The Doctor shakes her head "I don't know, I don't recognise those ships, I've never seen them before-".
Kate Stewart then walks into the Tardis and she says "well, that really worries me then, because you, Doctor...you were my only hope".
The Doctor then runs over to Kate and says "Kate Stewart? Welcome aboard the Tardis!" Kate nods "thanks Doctor, but back to the main issue?" The Doctor nods "yes! Right! Spaceships in the sky, who could it be?" Yasmine then says "Daleks?" Kate shakes her head "no, they're not Dalek ships". The Doctor shakes her head "come on Yaz, it's not Daleks... it's not...ugh I hate not knowing things, I don't know if I've ever told you that, but I hate it-".
Running back outside, The Doctor looks at the sky with Kate and says "Kate, have you got a UNIT outpost anywhere nearby?" Kate nods at The Doctor "yes, I can give you the coordinates?" The Doctor nods at Kate "alright, get to the Tardis, we have work to do!".
The Doctor and Kate run into the Tardis.
Moments later, the Tardis starts to dematerialise.
After the Tardis disappears, a massive teleport beams down into the same location near the Tardis.
A figure in black armor is seen starting to appear.
Elsewhere, the Tardis materialises inside a UNIT outpost.
The Doctor, Yasmine, and Kate walk out of the Tardis together.
The Doctor smiles "ah! UNIT, I missed you guys" Yasmine shakes her head "who are they?" The Doctor smiles "Unified Intelligence Taskforce! They basically help protect the planet in my absence, or in the case...they need my help because neither of us knows what's going on".
Kate says "so, Doctor...what do you need?" The Doctor looks around and she smiles "ah! There!".
Yasmine watches as The Doctor runs over to a computer.
Yasmine looks at Kate and says "how come ya can't figure out who it is?" Kate says "well, UNIT has a massive database of all enemies who have come to the planet or attacked, anything like that, we have sketches of what spaceships belong to who, but that spaceship in the sky, we have nothing in the database" Yasmine shakes her head "so, we don't know who they are?".
The Doctor then turns around and she says "well, either that, or they've never attacked Earth before, we might have met them before, but it depends if they've ever attacked".
Yasmine walks over to The Doctor and says "so, what're you doin?" The Doctor looks at the computer and she says "I'm just trying to figure out anything about the ship, any readings it's giving off, or energy readings, or the kind of metal it's made out of, anything that could help me round it down to something!".
Yasmine turns her head to the computer screen beside The Doctor. Yasmine says "Kate, what does this mean?".
Kate walks over and she looks at the screen. Kate says "Doctor, one of them has beamed itself onto the surface!".
Loud thumping is heard as a soldier in black metal armor, with a helmet covering its entire face marches down the street.
Back at the UNIT outpost, The Doctor sits with Kate and Yasmine as they watch on the CCTV.
Yasmine looks at the soldier and she says "well? Doctor?" The Doctor shakes her head "I can't tell, the picture's too blurry, we'll have to go down and say hello to whoever it is, come on Yaz!".
The Doctor runs towards her Tardis.
Kate looks at Yasmine, Kate says "go, I'll stay, prepare UNIT for a war" Yasmine nods at her.
Yasmine runs into the Tardis.
Inside the Tardis, The Doctor pulls the dematerialise lever.
The time rotor starts to move up and down, in flight.
Yasmine walks over and she says "there's only one, what does that mean?" The Doctor shrugs her shoulders "I don't know, anything really might mean that one of them has come to talk, or to scout, or who knows, that's why we're now going to find out".
Yasmine says "should I call my family?" The Doctor turns around and she looks at Yasmine "why would you do that?" Yasmine says "that thing is in Sheffield, my family lives here, if they're in danger, I have to let them know" The Doctor nods at her "yeah, of course, you're right. But right now I honestly don't know anything, once we meet whoever it is, get more answers, then I'll know, but this goes one way or the other, an attack, or something completely different".
The Doctor pulls the materialise lever.
The Tardis materialises in the streets of Sheffield.
The Doctor and Yasmine run out of the Tardis.
The Doctor watches as people run passed them screaming in terror.
Yasmine then says "well, first sight, not looking too good?" The Doctor nods at her "whoever it is must be around here somewhere, come on Yaz".
Turning down a street, The Doctor and Yasmine suddenly come face to face with the soldier in black armor.
The Doctor smiles "ah! There you are, we've been searching for you, forever!" Yasmine shakes her head "over-exaggerating, just a tiny bit" The Doctor sticks her tongue out at Yasmine and says "shush you" Yasmine smiles at The Doctor.
The soldier then says "finally, hello again...Doctor!".
The Doctor stares at the soldier "how do you know-" The Doctor then says "oh". Yasmine sighs and she says "I hate when you say that" The Doctor points at the soldier and says "Yaz, don't you remember him?" Yasmine looks at the soldier.
The Soldier then removes its helmet, revealing Tzim-Sha, The Stenza.
The Doctor says "it's Tim Shaw!".
Tzim-Sha hisses and says "it's Tzim-Sha! Leader of The Stenza warriors!" Yasmine says "leader?". The Doctor looks at Tzim-Sha and says "so you got your wish then? To become a leader? How does it feel?" Tzim-Sha smiles "powerful, all this power, in my hands! And all I want to do, is cause destruction!" The Doctor says "being a leader isn't about destroying everything, it's about building, learning, teaching, if being a leader for you is about killing, then you don't know what being a leader means".
The Doctor holds her Sonic Screwdriver, and she pushes the button.
Back at the UNIT Outpost, Kate stands watching from a CCTV camera.
Kate's phone then chimes, and she pulls it out, seeing a phone call from an unknown number, Kate then answers it, and she hears Tzim-Sha and The Doctor talking.
Back on the street, The Doctor says "so you decided to bring your army of Stenza warriors here? Was that it? To do what exactly?".
Back at the UNIT Outpost, Kate looks over at a soldier and she says "confirmed, species...STENZA!".
Back on the street, Tzim-Sha says "we simply wish to destroy this planet, the filth on this planet, and the weak humans, along with their famous Doctor!" The Doctor smiles and says "you think you gonna kill me? Or anyone on this planet? If so, you are wrong-" Tzim-Sha says "I have an army, millions of Stenza warriors, waiting for battle" The Doctor nods at him "nice one mate, I see one ship up there, no more than a few thousand, we can handle it, we've handled worse".
Tzim-Sha then steps back, presses a button on his wrist, and says "watch then, Doctor!".
Yasmine looks up at the sky and she says "oh my god, Doctor!".
The Doctor then looks up at the sky and she watches as hundreds of ships start to descend onto Earth.
Tzim-Sha starts to laugh "and you think you can win?" The Doctor looks at Tzim-Sha "why are you doing this? Why here and why now?" Tzim-Sha says "I was locked in a stasis chamber for thousands of years! It gave me time to hatch an attack, all my moves, but it also gave me time to heal, and now, I run the Stenza army, and I have brought every single Stenza warrior to obliterate this planet!" Yasmine shakes her head "but you can't!" Tzim-Sha looks at Yasmine and says "and why not?" Yasmine says "there are innocent people on this planet, people who don't deserve to die! You can't do this!" Tzim-Sha says "and yet, what do you plan on doing about it? I am the only one able to prevent this" The Doctor nods "so do it, call off the attack" Tzim-Sha laughs "no".
At the UNIT Outpost, Kate stands on the phone and says "listen to me, this isn't an option! There are hundreds of ships waiting to attack, this isn't about if they'll attack, it's about when they attack! I need every UNIT soldier ready to fight, this planet is at war!".
The Doctor looks at Tzim-Sha nervously and says "there must be a way, there must be something you want! Tell us and maybe we can help, this doesn't have to end in war" Tzim-Sha says "you don't know the Stenza very well, do you? You made me a mockery back when we last saw each other, I'm now going to prove to the planet, that we are not to be made a mockery of!".
Yasmine looks back up at the sky and sees more spaceships descending to Earth.
Yasmine looks at Tzim-Sha with tears in her eyes.
Tzim-Sha smiles "witness Doctor, as your planet burns in war!".
Tzim-Sha presses a button on his armor speaks into his wrist and says "it's time, attack!".
Stenza soldiers beam onto the planet.
Stenza warships start to open fire on the planet.
Civilians scream as Stenza's push out freeze-rays out of their hands, killing people.
The Doctor and Yasmine look around in shock.
The Doctor says "it's the end of the world".
