//------------------------------// // Chapter 14: Dalek Caan // Story: The Dalek Invasion // by the ghost //------------------------------// Chapter 14: Dalek Caan Dalek Zek temporal shift landed him on the Dalek command vessel. Although badly shaken having just betrayed his friends he hid it well. And it wasn’t like he had killed them. They might survive a little while more, if they surrender and become slaves. And it wasn’t like he would see them ever again… The key was not to think about them, he decided. “DALEK ZEK, YOU WILL REPORT.” Said the Dalek Supreme. The Dalek Supreme was painted red and gold. “I have destroyed the Elements of Harmony as you requested and-“ “WHY ARE YOU SPEAKING LIKE THAT?” Interrupted the Dalek Supreme. “Like what?” asked Zek. “YOUR VOICE TONE IS OFF.” Said the Supreme. Oh that’s right Zek had to elevate his voice to talk like a normal Dalek. “IS THIS BETTER?” Asked Zek. “MUCH. CONTIUE YOUR REPORT.” Said the Supreme. “I HAVE DESTROYED THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY AS YOU REQUESTED AND-“ “WHAT IS THAT? ARE YOU WEARING A BOW TIE?! BOW TIES ARE ILLEGAL ACCORDING TO DALEK LAW.” Interrupted the Supreme again. Zek had forgot about the violet bow tie. Zek had to think fast. “ONE OF THE PRIMITIVES MUST HAVE STUCK IT ON ME WHILE I WAS OCCUPIED.” Said Zek. He took off the bow tie and ran over it. “BE GLAD IT WAS NOT A CELERY STICK OR YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTERMINATED ON SIGHT.” Said the Supreme. “CONTIUE YOUR REPORT.” Zek started again. “I HAVE DESTROYED THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY AS YOU REQUESTED AND-“ “WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR DALEK BATTLE ARMOR!” Said the Dalek Supreme. “IF YOUR KEEP INTRUPTING ME I WILL NEVER FINISH THIS REPORT.” Said Zek getting inpatient. “VERY WELL CONTIUE.” Said the Supreme. Zek started again. “I HAVE DESTROYED THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY AS YOU REQUESTED AND CLEARED THE WAY FOR THE INVATION.” He waited for the Supreme to interrupt him again. He did not. Zek continued. “I PROPOSE THE FOLLING COURSE OF ATTACK WE-“ “Well that’s not a very good idea. What it soMething goes wrong? He he he he.” Laughed a completely gold Dalek. “DALEK CAAN YOU WILL REMAIN SILENT.” Ordered the Dalek Supreme. “MAke me.” Said Caan. The Dalek supreme fired a death beam at Caan, but he knew it was coming and temporal shifted across the room. “THAT IS DALEK CAAN? THE SECOND COMMAND IN THE CULT OF SKARO? WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?” Asked Zek. “HE’S THE ONLY LIVING MEMBER OF THE CULT OF SKARO. AND AS TO WHAT HAPPENDED TO HIM-“ “I went to the time war and it muddled up my brain. Now I See the fuTure but I’m totally insane... Said Caan. He let out a laugh. “YES AND HE GOT ANNOYING.” Said the Dalek Supreme. “AND I CAN’T KILL HIM BECAUSE HE SEE’S THE FUTURE. HE WILL PROBLEY KEEP INTERUPTING YOU FOR ‘FUN’. GO TO THE COMPUTER ROOM AND FILE YOUR REPORT. FIX YOUR DEATH RAY WHILE YOUR THERE.” “I OBEY.” Said Zek. *** “What? All of the elements have been accounted for?” Said Twilight surprised. “Yeah we couldn’t believe it ourselves.” Said Rainbow Dash. “Perhaps he wasn’t able to destroy them.” Said Rarity. “Maybe.” Said Twilight. “Either way it doesn’t matter. We have to get ready to defend Ponyville. Bring the Elements to the main entrance. When the Daleks arrive we’ll hit them with the elements. Rarity you find Fluttershy and see if you can get her to stop crying. We’ll need her. I’ll tell eveypony what’s going on. Rainbow Dash dashed off to gather the elements. Rarity went to find Fluttershy. Twilight used a spell to make her voice louder. “Attention everypony!” Twilight said. “Please do not panic but there is an alien invasion on the way.” There was a look of concern shared between the ponies. “Shouldn’t we take up arms?” Said Mr. Time Turner Whooves. Should we fortify the town? Said another pony. “I knew the humans would come for us eventually.” Said Lyra. “No, it will only end up with unnecessary death.” Said Twilight “We the element welders will take care of it. We just ask that eveypony stays indoors. If worse comes to worse run for the Everfree forest.” Reassured by Twilight the ponies started to head for their houses. Well it could have been worse. Thought Twilight. They could have panicked. She stared up at the sky wondering when the Daleks would arrive and how many there would be. *** Zek sat in the computer room filling out the report. His manipulator arm was connecting him to the computer. He was doing fine until… “Oh hi Zek.” Said Dalek Caan. “Not now Caan I’m concentrating.” Said Zek. “YouR voice sliPped agaIn oh nightmarE chilD. He he he.” Said Caan. That laugh was starting creep Zek out. He would get along with Pinkie Pie. “DO NOT CALL ME BY THAT NICKNAME. I WILL NOT USE A NICKNAME THAT THE TIME LORDS GAVE ME. I AM JUST A NORMAL DALEK.” Said Zek. “Davros called you that before I rescued him.” Said Caan. “Though I don’t know why you used the jaws.” “IT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD WORK. HIS SHIELDS WHERE TOO STRONG. WHY WOULD YOU SAVE DAVROS HE IS INPURE. AND AS I SAID BEFORE I AM A NORMAL DALEK.” “Oh, but I’m afraid your not just a Dalek.” Said Caan ignoring Zek’s comment about Davros. “You have a name and you have 100% win rate. Something very few Daleks can achieve.” “I have lost against the Doctor and I only got my name, because I survived the attack at the radiation nursery.” Said Zek slipping back to his regular voice. “Ah that’s right. But I’m afraid your wrong. He he he. You where not made at the nursery and you’re the only Dalek in history to beat the DoCTor mOre then 49% of the time.” “You lie. I got my name from surviving the nursery attack." Said Zek “Then check the Records then. You’ll need cult level clearance. The password is “badwolf”. The information might be in code. Look for weird capitaliZation or something. You’ve been lied to. Your name is Zek because that’s the only namE you would respond to when they found you.” “What are you talking about!” “LooK it up you will see. He he he. Oh and by the way you and the Doctor have more in common then you think. Oh and I’m sorry for what happens to the mane six. I know they are your friends. EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT.” And Caan was gone. Caan was full of nonsense. Thought Zek. Zek was a Dalek like any other. He just had been lucky against the Doctor that is all. Still he was tempted to look though the files. He typed the passcode in. “Cult leader Caan recognized.” Said the computer. Zek typed his name in. “Dalek Zek is a Dalek hero who has fought the Doctor many times.” Said the computer. Zek looked up the nursery attack. “The nursery attack was an attack by the Doctor on the Dalek radiation machine. There where no survivors.” Zek's body went cold. He tried looking up his creation papers. “Dalek Zek does not have any creation papers.” Said the computer. “CAPTAIN ZEK.” Said the Dalek Supreme over speakers. “RESPOND IF YOU ARE HERE.” Zek would have to figure out this mystery latter. “I AM.” Said Zek he closed the documents. “SINCE YOU KNOW THE LAY OF THE LAND YOU WILL LEAD THE INVASION.” Said the Dalek Supreme Zek was silent for a second. “I OBEY.” He said. He started to plan for the invasion of ponyville. The place where his only friends in the universe resided.
