Scene 1- President’s Quarters
(Both prequels contain the first Borusa seen in ‘The Invasion of Time’)
Borusa: Now I am no longer Chancellor, we need a new one.
Leela: And you want me to do it?
Borusa: No I want you to elect some people.
Leela: Rodan, Andred?
Borusa: No, Andred is now Commander remember?
Leela: That is true.
Borusa: Perhaps you can go out and find some people?
Leela: What, me?
Borusa: Yeah, you don’t have anything else to do.
Leela: Fine, I’d better obey my president.
Borusa: There’s a good Gallifreyan.
Leela: I am a Savateem, savage, not a Gallifreyan.
Borusa: No but with time.
Leela: I never will be either.
Borusa: I’m not even going to argue with you.
Leela: Good.
Borusa: I quite the look of some of these Chancellery applications. Danisty, Evelyn, Schewenian and Fotesque, check them out.
Leela: I don’t know any of them.
Borusa: (Hands Leela some paper). They’re addresses are all on there.
Leela: Some of these are on the other side of the citadel!
Borusa: I hope you like walking. The walk will do you good.
Leela: Can’t you get someone…
Borusa: Go now.
Leela: But…
Borusa: I’m not listening.
Leela: Fine!
(Leela storms out of the room)
Leela: Bloody President.

Leela: Hi, I am Leela, the President wants me to… umb… interview you to see if you are ready for Chancellery position.
Danisty: Come in.
(Danisty moves out of the way to let Leela walk in. They sit down next to each other).
Danisty: Well?
Leela: Well what?
Danisty: What would you like to ask?
Leela: What’s your full name?
Danisty: Elisia Danisty.
Leela: How old are you?
Danisty: Hmm? About five hundred and twelve give or take a century.
Leela: No, really?
Danisty: Yes.
Leela: And what are you at the moment?
Danisty: A judge at the supreme court of Gallifrey.
Leela: Ok. What is the worst sentence you gave?
Danisty: I sent the Leader of the first too the centre of a black hole.
Leela: The first?
Danisty: The first abductors. This was over three hundred years ago.
Leela: I’m not asking?
Danisty: Good.
Leela: So… umb…
Danisty: Bored aren’t you?
Leela: Yeah I am.
Danisty: So am I.
Leela: Shall I just make it up so you get a good reference from Borusa.
Danisty: Are you allowed?
Leela: No.
Danisty: (Smiles). Do it.
Leela: (Writes stuff). Done.
Danisty: Oh thanks.
Leela: No problem. See you.
(Leela exits. Danisty Puts on her head dress. Her eyes flash red).
Scene 4- Spooky Corridor
(Leela walks through a dark and spooky corridor. Bats fly everywhere).
Leela: Someone here wants to be the Chancellor!
(A dark door with a screaming face stuck to it materialises. Leela knocks on the door).
Leela: He gets to live in a TARDIS.
(The door opens. Bright long finger nails open the door to reveal a gothic character.)
Goth: Come in!
(Leela walks in. Images of Satan and Vampires are everywhere).
Leela: This is umb… interesting.
Goth: Are you interested in the satanic religion?
Leela: No.
Goth: Then how is it interesting.
Leela: Where’s the console?
Goth: It doesn’t need one. I control it with my mind.
(The body from the laboratory falls out of the cupboard with its blood drained).
Goth: You’ve seen too much Leela, Leela the soon defender, Leela the companion, Leela friend of the Doctor!
Leela: I’m getting out of here.
(Leela walks to the door. The Goth flicks his hands at the doors and the doors closed).
Goth: You’re not going anywhere until it’s fed.
Leela: Until what is fed?
Goth: My Master.
Leela: Let me out of here.
Goth: Scared Leela?
Leela: You wish.
Goth: You will be.
(The Goth clicks his fingers. TARDIS engines are heard).
Leela: Where are we going?
Goth: To get my Master.
Leela: Have we left Gallifrey?
Goth: No, just to another section of the citadel.
Leela: Where?
Goth: The highest security prison.
Leela: You’re not freeing them are you?
Goth: What do you think I’m here to do?
Leela: (Pulls out knife). Don’t do it. Don’t free them, you’ll destroy Gallifrey and the universe, everything will die.
Goth: It’s too late, they are free.
Leela: No.
Scene 5- High security Prison
(Half a dozen guards guard a big titanium see through cylinder with sparkly particles flying through them. They suddenly turn red and evil and smash through the glass. The guards fire but all their blood shoots into the particles. The guards collapse with all their blood drained and their faces ripped off).
Scene 6- Goth’s TARDIS
Goth: Here they come.
(The particles smash through the doors. Leela dives underneath them. The Goth raises his arm. He begins new series regeneration. The energy turns red and his necklace lights up. The particles fly into the regeneration energy. He laughs)
Goth: (Mid transformation). I am sacrificing my lifes to become my Master!
(Leela holds onto a pillar clinging for dear life. The Goth begins to get taller and his top rips off).
Leela: I hope I’ll survive this!
Goth: (Near end transformation). YOU WON’T
(The Goth reaches twenty feet in height. Lightning flies around the TARDIS. Half the Goth’s trousers have disappeared and the regeneration ends. The Goth becomes the creature and he is muscular and similar to the incredible hulk).
Creature: Freedom at last.
Leela: (Jumps of pillar) what are you?
Creature: Your worst nightmare.
(The doors shut. The creature puts his huge palm up so it faces the door and it turns red. A beam of fire flies out of it, Leela dives out of the way as the door explodes).
Creature: Out of my way tiny Humanoid, I want your blood last.
(The Creature runs over Leela and out of the door).
Leela: Oh shi... Excrement. Better inform Borusa about his candidate.
Scene 7-Borusa’s Office
(Leela is informing Borusa about earlier).
Leela: And then began regenerating, the energy turned red and the particles flew in. The Goth became huge and very muscular and loves blood. He’s causing terror in the citadel.
Borusa: Oh no, this is disastrous the weapon that can stop him is destroyed.
Leela: How do you know?
Borusa: I have met one before. I don’t know the species or the home world. All I know that the Creature survives on our lifeline, his food… blood.
Leela: A Vampire?
Borusa: No, something worse. Something much worse.
Leela: Tell me this story.
Borusa: All right. Brace yourself.
Scene 8- Flashback
(A much younger Borusa is walking through the corridors of Gallifrey)
Voice of Borusa: I was 98 at the time, a very young Time-Lord. I had just started training for a Teaching position at the academy. But a creature from another Planet landed on Gallifrey. The same one you saw earlier.
(The creature walks through the Corridor. It stands on a Time-Lord, picks her up, rips offher head and uses her body as a mug for the blood).
Young Borusa: Oh no, (runs off).
(The creature chases Young Borusa).
Voice of Borusa: It chased me to the academy. I shut the door with titanium alloy, making it stronger than normal titanium. I built a weapon, it took a few days and all I saw when I opened the door was blood and bodies everywhere on a pile, like a Drunk Human. I used the weapon to turn it into particles and ever since now those particles were in a high security prison. It found and hypnotised a host, the Goth you told me about and now the Goth is the creature. Afterwards I destroyed the weapon and the materials to make it.
Scene 9- Borusa’s Office
Leela: Can’t you make another one.
Borusa: Not enough time afraid, it gets stronger over the years and this was a millennium ago.
Leela: Oh, so why isn’t it bigger then?
Borusa: Perhaps the powers are still installing.
Leela: I think I’ll try usual Vampire weapons. I take it there are stakes here on Gallifrey.
Borusa: Well…
Leela: Good where are they.
Borusa: Weapons department.
Leela: Thanks.
(Leela sprints out of the room).
Scene 10- Danisty’s Chamber
(Danisty’s eyes are still red).
Danisty: Come to me my Master. Come, come, come.
(The creature walks through the wall and is now thirty feet, he is using two body mugs and when finished, he just tosses them over his shoulder).
Creature: More food.
Danisty: I wish to be like you.
Creature: Do you?
Danisty: I am your servant. Please reward to me.
Creature: You wish for my power?
Danisty: Yes.
Creature: Ok, I need a Companion.
Danisty: Then pick me.
Creature: Very well.
(Danisty starts to regenerate, particles fly out of the Creature’s red eyes and into Danisty)!
Scene 11- Weapons Chamber
(Leela runs into the chamber and sees nothing but laser guns. She walks into the section and sees a long, sharp stake. She takes as many stakes as she can carry, puts some garlic round her neck and uses a pen to draw the cross down her face).
Leela: It won’t harm me now.
(Leela runs out of the room).
Scene 12-Danisty’s Chamber
(Danisty starts to get taller like the other. Leela runs in).
Leela: No, DANISTY!
Creature: You’re too late, she will be like me.
(Leela pulls out a stake and chucks it into the Creature’s heart).
Leela: Take that you horrible Creature.
(The particles and regeneration energy flies back from Danisty and into the Creature, Danisty returns to normal. The creature pulls the stake out).
Creature: Vampire weapons won’t harm me.
Danisty: What the hell is that?
Creature: Now look at what you’ve done, she’s not under my influence, someone’s going to die for that.
Leela: Yeah, you.
Creature: You won’t go to waste, I love blood. I want your blood Leela. It’s better than Time-Lord blood.
Leela: You want my blood. (Lowers her neck for a bite).
Creature: Yes.
Leela: Come and get it.
(The Creature charges at Leela. Leela runs out of the room. Danisty faints. Leela runs through the corridors).
Creature: I love a good chase.
Leela: This will be the best chase you ever had.
Creature: Savateem! Such power, such warrior instincts.
Leela: You said it.
Creature: Any last request.
(Leela spots the titanium room and pulls out a stake).
Leela: I’m not going without a fight.
Creature: Good.
(Leela chucks the stake at the titanium room door shutter. The door slowly shuts. Leela dives under it. The door is completely shut).
Leela: There has to be a particle extrapolation beam somewhere.
Creature: It won’t hold me for long.
Leela: I don’t believe it.
(The Creature punches the wall down).
Leela: I take that back.
(Flemantom runs in and many guards follow).
Leela: Who are you?
Flemantom: I’m the new Kastellan and I don’t like Aliens, including you two.
Leela: Nice to meet you to.
Flemantom: Shoot it, kill it.
(The Guards fire. The lasers just bounce of the Creature).
Creature: (Roars) more blood.
Leela: Get out of here.
Flemantom: Not until it’s dead.
Leela: Get out of here now!
(The Creature picks up two of the guards, rips their heads off and chugs their blood. He chucks the bodies onto the floor).
Leela: See.
Flemantom: Retreat, retreat.
Leela: Run faster.
(Flemantom and the Guards run out of the room. The Creature picks up the door and throws it at two of the Guards. They are trapped underneath it. The Creature jumps on to the top of the titanium alloy and crushes the Guards to death. He throws the door under his feat and uses the dead bodies as mugs, chucking them on top of the other two. Flemantom has run out of site).
Creature: Now where was I?
(Leela backs up against the wall).
Leela: You won’t take me alive.
Creature: Dead will do then.
Leela: So long to a married life.
Creature: Hang on; I have a much better use for you than food.
Leela: I’m not becoming like you, I’d rather die first.
Creature: Here’s a news flash for you, I died seven millenniums ago. I was resurrected but still dead rendering me immortal. You can’t kill me.
Leela: There is a way to kill you, there has to be.
Creature: If you know magic.
Leela: None.
Creature: Then you can’t stop me.
Leela: Just watch me.
Creature: This is you use. (Loads of different colours swim through the Creatures eyes). Leela of the Savateem, you will obey me, you will obey me.
Leela: NO! (Looks away but can’t resist the temptation and looks back).
Creature: You will obey me, obey me!
Leela: No I won’t.
Creature: You must obey me, obey me, Leela, obey me!
Leela: (Hypnotised) I will obey the Creature.
Creature: (Eye turns red). Good.
Leela: (Hypnotised). What is my task?
Creature: Is the eye of harmony still on Gallifrey?
Leela: (Hypnotised). Yes.
Creature: Then can you guess your task.
Leela: (Hypnotised). No.
Creature: Leela, you will open the eye of harmony.
Leela: (Hypnotised). When am I to carry out this task?
Creature: Midnight tonight. Until then you will act as yourself, un-hypnotised, you will not try and stop me, you will arrive at the eye at eleven forty five.
Leela: (Hypnotised). I obey.
(The Creature raises his arm, lightning appears around him and he vanishes. Leela turns to normal).
Leela: What an uneventful day. I may as well go home and see Andred and K-9.
Scene 14- Andred’s Chamber
(Andred and K-9 are playing chess).
K-9: Mate in three moves Master Andred.
Andred: What, no? Rubbish.
(Leela laughs. Andred moves a piece and takes one of K-9s pieces).
K-9: Queen to A1.
(Andred obeys).
K-9: Check, Master Andred.
(Andred moves his king forward a place).
K-9: Bishop to J7.
(Andred does so. He moves his pawn to J7 and takes K-9’s piece).
K-9: Queen to A5.
(Andred does so, realising the Queen is blocked from all directions).
K-9: Check mate. I was correct.
Leela: Well done K-9.
Andred: Has anyone ever beaten you?
K-9: Never.
Leela: Andred, can we talk.
Andred: Sure.
Leela: Firstly, I want to get married.
Andred: Now?
Leela: Yes.
Andred: I’ll buy you a ring later.
Leela: Secondly I can remember telling Borusa about some giant Vampire thing and…
K-9: Election results are in Mistress.
Leela: K-9, this is important, who won?
K-9: Danisty won Mistress.
Leela: No.
Andred: Is that bad?
Leela: I need to explain. I can remember telling Borusa that some giant Vampire thing is loose on Gallifrey but I can’t remember seeing it. And I can also remember Danisty saying she served it. Whatever it is, it now has Chancellery position!
Andred: Was it the Particles?
Leela: Yes, something about a Goth and particles.
Andred: K-9 we need a particle extrapolator now.
(K-9’s top part with the button falls in and some strange Hi-Tec gun comes out. Leela takes the gun but puts it on the floor. K-9’s button panel re-appears).
Leela: (Hypnotised). I will make no attempt to stop the Creature.
K-9: Mistress Leela has been hypnotised.
Andred: Can we un-hypnotise her.
K-9: Negative, too strong a force.
Scene 14-Clock Tower
(The clock tower strikes 11:30 PM).
Scene 15- Andred’s Chamber
Leela: (Hypnotised). I have to go.
(Leela exits).
Andred: K-9 follow me. (Picks up the particle gun),
(Andred follows Leela and K-9 follows Andred)
Scene 15-Clock Tower
(The clock tower strikes 11:45 PM).
Scene 16- Eye of Harmony Containment
(Leela walks in. Andred and K-9 follow. The Creature, now 40ft tall, jumps behind them, the floor shakes and Andred falls down. Leela walks over to the computer).
Creature: Leela, how nice, you’ve bought me some food. My powers are nearly complete, when the eye opens, I will be.
K-9: What will your height be?
Creature: Why do you ask?
K-9: I can stall it in my data banks.
Creature: You’ll find out later. I’m bored, I want the eye to open now but it is too early.
(Andred runs over to Leela, Leela pushes him towards the Creature as if she knows the Creature’s hunger for blood).
Andred: You think you’re so powerful.
Creature: I could kick you gently, for my standards, and you’d die.
Andred: I don’t doubt that, but size doesn’t matter.
Creature: Yes it does.
Andred: Not when you own this. (Smiles and pulls out the Particle gun). Good luck with being particulates.
Creature: No! Leela!
(Leela kicks the gun out of Andred’s hand and prepares to punch him. The midnight bells go off, Leela returns to the eye’s computer. The eye of harmony opens).
Creature: YES! My power will be complete.
(Andred quickly picks up the gun. The seal of Rassilon falls into the eye. The Creature absorbs energy from the eye and begins to get bigger. Andred fires the particle gun at the Creature. Some of the particles go inside the gun. The energy from the eye un-hypnotises Leela. She pulls out a stake. Danisty runs in. All she can see is the Creature. Andred puts the particles on Leela’s stake. Leela jumps onto the Creature’s chest and puts the stake in. The particles react with each other. The Creature turns into dust. Danisty sees Leela heroically standing with the stake pointing at Danisty).
K-9: Mistress, shall I close the eye.
Leela: Yes!
(K-9 is lifted up and pulled towards the eye from the energy. The ashes are sucked in).
K-9: Alert, suction, alert!
(K-9 raises his nose sensor and it touches the eye. The eye starts to close but not quickly enough. K-9 is almost sucked in. Leela hits every button on the Computer. The eye suddenly slams shut. K-9 crashes to the ground, only slightly damaged).
Andred: You saved Gallifrey Leela.
Leela: We saved Gallifrey.
Danisty: Am I to blame for those deaths.
Leela: No, you and the Goth were hypnotised by the Particles telepathically making you both stand for Chancellery power. The Goth found a way to free the Particles and killed himself ao that the Creature could take his body and change it to its own. You won the election. Congratulations, Chancellor.
Danisty: Thanks.
Scene 17-Andred’s Chamber
A WEEK LATER.
Leela: Hmm? K-9 he still hasn’t.
K-9: Hasn’t what Mistress.
Leela: Asked me to...?
K-9: Ask you to do what?
Leela: You know what!
K-9: Negative Mistress. I was never informed.
(Andred walks in).
Andred: Leela, can I talk to you?
Leela: Yes Andred.
Andred: I would have asked sooner but I wasn’t able to get it.
Leela: Get what?
(Andred gets down on one knee, Leela smiles. He pulls out a ring).
Andred: Leela, I love you so much and you can do better than me. But better to try and fail then never know. Leela of the Savateem, will you marry me?
Leela: I don’t know what to say. It’s beautiful Andred. I love you.
Andred: I need a yes or a no.
Leela: Andred, the great Commander, I will marry you!
K-9: Congratulations Mistress and Master Andred.
(Leela and Andred hug and kiss).
NEXT TIME:Danisty: You’re what?
Leela: We’re getting married.
Flemantom: It won’t work.
Andred: Flemantom, you’re not invited.
Leela: Rodan, Danisty, will you be my bridesmaids?
Rodan: Yes.
Danisty: Ok then.
Andred: Borusa, will you be my best man?
Borusa: Perhaps.
Leela: I have a space transport to go and pick up some relatives of mine.
Vicar: If anyone here thinks these two should not be joined in marriage let them speak now or let them hold there peace.
Danisty: They.
Rodan: Shouldn’t
Borusa: Get.
Flemantom: Married.
Doctor: Isn't that an honour Romana?
Romana I: Yes it is.
(An Ice Warrior appears).
