[Universe 1]

Miranda wasn't so keen on the whole going to the lower dungeons. The whole "process" did not sound like it would be something they would enjoy. Glancing toward the Doctor she saw his eyes narrow. He was getting angry. And rightfully so. People were dying and this creature did not seem to care. In fact it seemed that they enjoyed death and sorrow. It was sickening really. How could someone or something really enjoy the sorrow and pain of others? She had seen it before and had always been pained by it. She just had to remember that no matter what justice would be served. Either here or after all death. Though it was always a bit of a satisfying to see justice dealt with here. 

The Doctor glanced toward her and she frowned slightly when she caught his message: Run. Glancing around her she slowly made her way away from him and hopefully the creatures so she could get away. She really had no idea where she would run. Technically, she could head back to the elevator but she would need access to the door first. That meant having a card from one of the cards.

It didn't really matter really. As soon as she started to move away a few creatures stepped in her path. One fired and a slight jolt of electricity shot through Miranda. It wasn't too bad just a bit painful. The creature growled at her and waved her back toward the Doctor. Apparently, running was not an option. She glanced toward the Doctor. Whatever was going to happen, she was going to be stuck here with him. Which, she actually preferred. She did not like running from danger and if something was going to happen, it was better to have it with a friend at your side.

Then everything changed. The Doctor declared that any step near him and the creatures would freeze. The creatures roared back terrified. The little troll minions looked to their leader. His face, pale, still held a bit of arrogance. "What? You?" He smirked though there was a bit of fear in his eyes. "There is only one of you against hundreds if not thousands of us." He declared. "What can you do?" Though in reality he was terrified. A Time Lord was extremely powerful. But pride would not make him stop. 

Seeing all the creatures sidetracked, Miranda sighed. Now would have been a good time to run. Oh well. She was going to stick by the Doctor through this mess. And though she might just be human she can do her best to watch his back.

The Doctor continued to walk backward holding his sonic out at the creature. His mind was racing with a few different possibilities. He glanced toward the girls to make sure they were alright. Thankfully, they were still in one piece. A bit scared but no harm done. A plan formulated in his mind as he walked. There were some down sides but he had a feeling it might work. He just needed to find those bounty hunters. 

The hallway was fairly long with doors leading to rooms similar to the one they had been trapped in. Jenny bypassed each knowing that they would not survive long if they were stuck in those rooms. The creatures were tenacious and would just tear down the door. With no other avenue of escape it would be hopeless. She racked her brain trying to remember if she had been down this particular hallway before. They were all fairly similar looking except that some led to more escape routes, others led to dead ends. She hoped it was the former rather than the latter. She glanced toward Clara. Though scared, the other girl was acting pretty brave. She wondered how Clara came to be with the Doctor and what had happened to Donna and Martha? She shuddered. Had they died?

"You know this is hopeless." The icedor informed them as he continued to follow them. "Every second that passes brings more of my kind here." He looked toward the Doctor. "If you are going to use your device, now would be a good time. Otherwise, I will just keep following you and the others will follow me." Technically it did not matter. They would still be able to find these creatures. However, he was curious. He was sure that it was a bluff but part of him feared that it was not. 

The Doctor stopped and looked at the creature. "So what brings you to this area?" He demanded. "Why aren't you with your kind back on Philas Seven?" He inquired. "How did you get here and why?"

The creature paused. He growled, all his teeth showing. The accursed world. The icedor had once been a proud race spreading throughout the universe causing destruction. Though not very technologically advanced with weapons and ships, the icedor had been able to cause interdimensional pathways that allowed them to travel to other places. That was until someone had closed all the pathways and made it where they could not open them again. Taking that advantage, the Shadow Proclamation had hunted down the icedor and had trapped them on Philas Seven, turning it into an isolated system where no one could enter. There, the icedor had been trapped for generations. Tearing at each other and destroying the planet as they tried to figure out a way off. It was by a stroke of luck that they had managed to open on interdimensional pathway again that led them to here. Though they were unable to open any others, they all believed that it was just the beginning. Soon they would be able to open more and once again spread throughout the universe.

But the fact this man knew about Philas Seven meant he had been one of the ones behind the initial banishment and that meant he was not only prey but that he was their enemy. The creature growled again moving closer. He was someone extremely dangerous that had to be dealt with immediately despite the consequences.
