A Conversation for Doctor Who Fiction

Enigma part 3.

Raspy

The Master laughed as the Tardis spun wildly out of control. The Doctor and Jo were tossed across the console room floor before the vibrations stopped and the Master spoke once more.
"Well, that was entertaining wasn't it?" He smiled.
"What do you want, no don't tell me...to kill me perhaps?" the Doctor said struggling to his feet.
The Master smiled again. "Not yet, I have a present for you my dear Doctor, its called a Time Wraith!"
The Doctor was taken back, a look of horror came over his face as he heard the Master mention the hideous beast.
Jo could tell he was scared. "What is a time wraith?"
"Something terrible!" the Doctor answered.
Jo screamed as a Time Wraith appeared in the Tardis. They backed away but were soon engulfed by the wraith, two shards of crystal dropped to the ground as another Doctor was captured.
The Master laughed and turned to the wraith. "Bring them to me."
The Wraith picked up the two shards of crystal and disappeared from the Tardis.

Rasputaltron was bored. He'd received the first three Doctors already and their respective companions. He'd ordered a special holder for them but the men from Ikea hadn't turned up so they were lying on the desk in front of him.
"Mhssca!" he called,
"What is it Master?" hissed the reptilian woman as she entered, her gun still in her hands.
"Must you really carry that retched weapon all the time?"
"I feel safer with it by my side" she informed him,
"Oh well, to each there own. Tell me, has Davros been dispatched?"
"Yes Master, he has taken a unit of Davrites with him and should rendezvous on the planet of Rglillacheffach"
"Thanks for that" said Rasputaltron, wiping the spit off his robes, "Will the indigenous population be a problem?"
Mhssca shook her head, "They are extinct"
"How?"
"They drowned in their own saliva"
"Figures"

The Doctor and Romana stepped out of the Tardis on the planet Rglillacheffach.
The Doctor stretched out his arms. "Well here we are R-"
Romana cut him off. "Don't say it!" she snapped.
The Doctor laughed and they walked on through the landscape, the planet was very floral, and they could see nothing alive. Unknown to them from behind a tall tree a Davrite watched the eye imbedded in its forehead flashing as it made its report to Davros...
"Did you feel something?" the Doctor stopped and asked Romana,
"What sought of thing?" the Time Lady asked,
"A sort of sense of evil,"
"Oh come now Doctor don't you think that's being a bit melodramatic?"
"No, I just don't like being attacked from behind"
He was then attacked from behind.
When the Doctor awoke he found himself tied up next to Romana. He shifted his eyes from the ground upwards and saw a familiar gleaming black and silver wheelchair.
"Davros..." he murmured.
Davros smiled. "Hello Doctor, nice to see you again, and your companion." he nodded towards Romana.
"How did you escape from cryogenic freezing?" the Doctor asked recalling his last encounter with Davros.
"I will explain later, bring in the time wraith!"
The door to the room slid open and a Time Wraith entered. The Doctor and Romana both gasped in terror as they were engulfed and two shards of crystal dropped to the ground.
The Time Wraith handed them to Davros who glided away, his mission complete.

Rasputaltron strummed his fingers along his desk getting pretty bored. Mhscca was not very interesting company and the guards were morons, he wouldn't have chose them other wise, he used to talk to Barok but since he was dead he had no one for intelligent conversation. Then he had a thought, he pressed down his communicator on his desk.
"Has Davros brought the fourth doctor yet?"
"Yes sir." came the guards voice.
He stopped for a moment then said. "Free his companion and have her brought up here, but do not free the Doctor!"
"Yes sir."
A few minutes later two guards entered and brought Romana before Rasputaltron. He signalled for them to leave as Mhscca entered with a restraining collar. She placed it around Romana's neck and stood to one side.
"Thank you Mhscca, off you go!" Rasputaltron waved a hand at his subordinate and she left the room.
Rasputaltron walked over to Romana and looked at her meaningfully.
"Who are you?" she asked him solemnly.
"Rasputaltron, I was a senator once but the Doctor altered time, so now I am merely a very nasty man."
"Was it you who sent the wraiths after us?" she asked.
"Yes that’s right, you shall see why soon enough, drink?" he held out a wine bottle and a glass to her. She took them and sat down on a chair next to her captor.
"Why I am here?" she asked.
"Well I needed some intelligent company, and you seemed the most appealing, can't say I care for your taste in clothes though." Rasputaltron said looking at her pink outfit and white scarf.
