Chapter 6- The comeback

Rory and Amy opened their eyes simultaneously and gasped for air, lying on the cold concrete of the RED Base.

"Where are we?" Rory panicked.

"Base." The RED Heavy subtlety replied, loading more bullets into the minigun.

"Are you dead?" Amy questioned.

"Da. I was. Now Heavy lives. And Sascha needs more bullet."

"Are we alive again?" Rory had about 3,000 questions to ask.

Suddenly a RED Sniper zapped into existence right beside then, standing straight up, Sniper rifle already in hand. "What the bloody hell just happened?" He felt his forehead for a bullet hole.

"Where's the Doctor?" Amy asked.

"Last Heavy saw strange tie man, he go for blue box." The RED Heavy replied, closing up his minigun and revving it for test. "Da. This will work."

"Rory he's headed to the TARDIS." Amy alerted.

"I know which blue box he would be running to by now." Rory sighed. "Let's go."

"Heavy will cover small cowards. Medic!"

A RED Medic had come charging into the room screaming in pain as fire burned his skin, in which the RED Heavy threw a sandwich at… And somehow the flames went out. This universe is confusing.

"Is Doctor good?" The RED Heavy asked.

"Ja. And I'm fully charged." The RED Medic replied, holding up the Medi Gun with the glowing tip.

"Let us move." The RED Heavy demanded, the Medic's healing beam entering the body. "Tiny babies, follow behind Heavy."

"Are we the tiny babies? Really?" Rory complained.

"You are if you keep acting like that. Let's go."

The Doctor was busy at the console of the TARDIS, a devious plan on his mind. He had left the TARDIS at its secure location and snuck his way back to the battlefront, pulling out his screwdriver and toying with a wiring panel on the neighboring walls. He pulled on a thick orange wire and kept his Screwdriver on it. Suddenly all of the loudspeakers across the entire area screeched.

"As much as I hate this dreaded war, I have an idea of how to remove the unfair advantages." The Doctor rang across the mountainside. "RED Team, push the payload back to the wooden bridge."

"No way! We gotta keep them from doing that!" The BLU Scout screamed.

"WHAT IS THE DOC-TOR PLAN-ING?" One of the remaining Daleks screeched.

"He's planning something pretty wicked. Now it's your turn, RED, to push that cart!" The Doctor smiled with a gleeful skip, a wonderful idea flickering across his brain as he ran back to the TARDIS.

"You heard funny tie man! Push!" The RED Heavy guarding Rory and Amy cried out into the sky.

"Roger that!" The RED Soldier joined in, shoving the giant blue bomb in the opposite direction.

"Huddah huh!" The RED Pyro began pushing as well.

"Oh, bah. I'm drunk, you don't have an excuse." The RED Demoman stammered, firing explosives at the incoming enemies, and trying to slow down the Daleks.

"Here comes the big time, boys!" The RED Engineer livened up, repairing the Level 3 sentry and it mowed down enemies.

"Might as well join in." Amy sided with a smile. Rory sighed heavily. The things he does for love.

The payload began making massive progress backwards, the RED Scout now pushing it with extra morale; at double the speed.

"INT-ER-CEPT THE DOC-TOR'S PLAN." The Daleks cried, firing their beams rapidly.

The RED Team had shoved the payload just out of range of their base, 20 feet from the wooden bridge, which the Daleks began floating up.

"THE DOC-TOR'S PLAN SHALL FAIL." They assured. "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!"

Quickly all of the RED forces on the cart with wiped out, Rory and Amy huddled behind the bomb in hopes that they didn't get seen. And then a sudden clicking noise got the attention of both the Doctor's companions and the Daleks alike. The payload bomb's blue light suddenly turned green.

"WHAT IS THE MEAN-ING OF THIS?" The Dalek's demanded, turning their attentions to the simple bomb by their standards.

"Rory, Amy!" The loudspeakers rang back to life. It was the Doctor. "Get out of there as fast as you can!"

The companions looked up to see a shocking sight: the TARDIS mid-flight.

"THE DOC-TOR HAS BEEN LO-CAT-ED!" The Daleks cried, aiming their blasters at the rapidly moving TARDIS.

Amy and Rory quickly got out of the way and ran back towards RED Base, a RED soldier running past them, and then the Doctor did an interesting move; he rammed the TARDIS straight into the Daleks, knocking them over like bowling pins. The companions were astonished that he would do that.

"We need a bang right now!" The Doctor cried. "Hit that bomb!"

The RED Soldier gave a frightening giggle, and he dropped his rocket launcher, instead running straight for the Daleks and the green-lit bomb. He dove in front of the explosive and gave a solid, toothy grin at the Daleks, two grenade pins between his teeth.

"Com'ere, Cupcake!" He shouted before viciously exploding and causing the bomb to detonate an unearthly bright white, in a beam fashion straight up. There were no screams, and no sound from the explosion. Not even 3 seconds later, the bomb, the Daleks, and the ground surrounding them was all gone.

The entire battlefield sat in absolute silence for a solid 15 seconds before the speakers rang back to life one last time.

"RED TEAM VICTORY!" It screamed.

The RED team cheered and the BLU team ran for their lives. Rory and Amy watched as the TARDIS landed before them, and the Doctor stepped out.

"That was quite the move. What did you do?" Amy asked, crossing her arms.

"Oh, it was quite simple. I remade that regular old nuclear bomb into a time-space missile. When that puppy blew, those Daleks got sent to a different dimension. Probably destroyed them, too. Couldn't really remove the 'nuclear' part, though…" The Doctor explained.

"Uh huh. Listen, I've had enough of this. I'm done." Rory complained, jumping into the TARDIS and slamming the door behind him.

"I agree with him." Amy wiped sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. "Plus it's really hot here. I swear it's all just giant deserts, or like gravel pits."

As Amy got back aboard the TARDIS, The Doctor took glance of the RED Medic, Scout, Heavy, Soldier, and Engineer all standing there.

"I'm going, boys. Try to keep this war to a minimum, would you?" The Doctor concluded to them.

"No promises." The Scout laughed. "Here, you saved us on this one."

"Oh?"

The Scout threw the Doctor a baseball. "For your troubles."

The Doctor looked down at the baseball and smiled. "Thank you."

"Heavy wish luck." The Heavy gave a thumbs-up position to the Doctor.

"Come on, Doctor. We still got that scientist to find like you said." Amy tugged on his jacket.

"I think I'll pass with Dr. Grodbort, personally now. Let's go."

And with that, the Mercenaries of Upward learned something new that day; even small men can be big help.
