[The Tardis Lands at a Gallery of police boxes being sold to many alien customers. The TARDIS door opens and the Doctor, Skyler and Krieg step out.]
Doctor
Hmm..this isn't exactly the place i had in mind, how very odd.
Skyler
There's dozens and dozens of Police Boxes Here! They can’t all be TARDISES, can they be Doctor?
Doctor
No, Skyler, I don’t think so. I think they really are what the TARDIS only pretends to be.
Kreig
Hey, Doctor, look at the size of that fellow with the ten heads, He sure looks pretty insane!
Doctor
Very true Kreig.
Skyler
So, do you know where we are, doctor?
Doctor
it’s nothing to worry about Sky, it’s just a slight detour but we shouldn’t let that Distract us, why don’t we look around anyway
[The doctor starts searching though each of the tags the are placed on each box, the salesman who runs the shop walks up to Skyler to see if she needs help with any thing]
Doctor
Hrm! I say, this is Surprising.
Police box salesman
Why hello there, Can i help you with anything today?
Skyler
Well, this might sound silly, but could you tell me exactly where we are?
Police box salesman
Why, this is where we sell police boxes. Of course, we have the widest selection of police boxes available from anywhere, and everywhere from the history of the universe.
Doctor
How extraordinary
Skyler
‘Just police boxes’? That’s somewhat of a ridiculous idea? Who would possibly go out shopping for police boxes?
Police box salesman
You see ma’am, we have police boxes for every possible need. For both functional and decorative purposes, if you name it, we sell it.
Sky
Doctor, does this make any sense?
Police box salesman
Do take your time, once you've found what you need, let me if your satisfied with your choice
Doctor
Thank you my good man; we’ll keep looking
[the Salesman leaves the Doctor and Skyler as he helps out another customer with his choice is every]
Skyler
Well, that was something
Doctor
It's best that we don't upset the vendors here. I can assure you that this is a truly remarkable place, they Really do have some nice stuff here.
Skyler
If you say so doctor, But i don't plan on buying anything here, I'd rather save it up for something more valuable!
Kreig
Hey Doctor, That giant giraffe guy was giving me some funny looks, He must've thought that we were planning to steal one of these police boxes and one of them is ours
Doctor
Never mind that now Kreig, Why don’t we just take a look outside and see what’s going on around here.
Kreig
whatever you say doctor.
[The Doctor and Friends Exit the police box store it as soon to discover a massive shopping mall Filled with aliens and Other extraterrestrial beings shopping for goods]
Skyler
(Amazed)
Oh my goodness, this is insane
Doctor
This here my friends, is the famous Frenko Bazaar! The place where you can buy and sell just about anything here.
Kreig
This looks like a shopping mall from earth, but I've never seen one like this!
Doctor
It’s not just any shopping mall, Kreig. The Frenko Bazaar Is an intergalactic trading post. How about We explore the place but be very careful.
[The Doctor and friends make their way to the escalator as they go down to the lower levels, they pass by a hat shop showing off a number of fancy hats.]
Doctor
Now this is what I call quality, These hats all look so creative but i will i think an old fashioned Fedora suits me more
Kreig
Doctor, I know that you're quite interested in your hat shopping, but I'm kinda Hungry.
Skyler
Me Too, is there anything here where we can get something to eat?
Doctor
Certainly my dear, My nose suggests that there is some food available just straight ahead.
[They start their way to the food court and search through all the food stores to see if there's anything that the Doctor, Skyler and Kreig are interest in, they come across a Venue selling Galactic cheeseburgers]
Vogaburger worker
Greetings fellow travelers, what would you like to order?
Doctor
Well since there's three of us, we’ll have Three Galactic-Burgers with some Siltic Lemonade.
Vogaburger worker
Going for the fan favorite I see, that will be 24 space credits
Doctor
All here for you
Vogaburger worker
Thank you sir, your meal won’t be long.
Kreig
Man I hate waiting for orders, they take forever to get them ready on earth
Doctor
Luckily Everything here is automatically ready in only a few seconds
Vogaburger worker
Here you go sir, enjoy your meal and have a lovely day
Doctor
Thank you very much
[The Doctor and Friends grab the meals and start to find a place to sit down, once they find a spot,they start to have their food.]
Skyler
Man this place is incredible, and the food’s great too.
Kreig
So all These people and aliens come here and shop at this Amazing place.
Doctor
Why yes Kreig. The Frenko Bazaar is a Focal Point for Merchants and traders, buyers and sellers. All manner of economic transactions are conducted here, wholesale and rental. You see, over time, Frenko has become Something of a tourist destination. All the Activity here along with the wide variety of merchandise for sale has proven quite attractive
Kreig
Now that's absolutely amazing
Skyler
No wonder why this is the best destination for all our needs
Doctor
But don't be Lured into a false sense of security. All this glamor and beautiful architecture covers up the still existing black-market roots of Frenko.
Kreig
What do you mean by that doctor?
Doctor
This is a very dangerous place behind the scenes with a lot criminal work going around it
Skyler
Well we better keep your eyes peeled, what about those guys over there.
Doctor
Of course, That lot over there are members of a trade organization known as the Voraxx.
Kreig
They do look pretty sinister if you ask me.
Doctor
Indeed your right Kreig, they've been known to engage in the slave trade for many centuries
Skyler
(shocked)
Slavery? You mean they sell people here,
Doctor
Not too loud, Skyler. We mustn't attract their attention
Skyler
Sorry doctor
Doctor
That's okay, as I was saying if there are Voraxx here, There is a market for slaves, I have no doubt about it.
Kreig
Yeah but all these happy shoppers aren't even aware of this going on
Doctor
That's because all of it has been concealed and not conducted out in the open
Skyler
This Sounds bad, We have to do something about it
Doctor
And that's exactly what we're going to do
[The Voraxx creatures Start to leave the table and the doctor and friends start to follow after them]
Kreig
Look doctor, they're starting to leave!
Doctor
Come along now, Let's follow them to see where the shop is
[The Trio discover that the Voraxx are Residing in Stellar imports and exports]
Skyler
Looks like they're going into the Imports and exports store!
Doctor
Best if you two Follow my lead. we’ll try to improvise a bit here so that we're not too suspicious.
[All three of the Travelers enter into the store and discover avast collection of valuable items from across the centuries]
Skyler
My goodness,I can't believe that there's so many things here for sale
Doctor
The Voraxx Are very accomplished buyers and sellers. Their business acumen and extensive trade network are known for the galaxy, Look, There's a price for this sort of wealth - remember that.
Kreig
That crown looks pretty nice
Doctor
Don't touch it Kreig, we’re only in here to observe what's going on and not to buy anything.
[Whilst the doctor and friends are searching around the place, a woman called Louise Is at the front counter trying to pay the Voraxx Employee some valuable jewelry]
Voraxx Employee
Madam, I can offer you 2700 For the entire collection
Louise
(Surprised)
2700? How about 3500?
Voraxx Employee
We generally don't haggle madam,But for you I will make an exception 2900
Louise
Very well, I'll take it
[Louise then leaves with her purchase items, Whilst Kreig is looking around, The Scanner on the employees desk starts to make noises as it scans Kreig]
Kreig
Hey what Is that for
Voraxx Employee
My sincere apologies! That's clearly a mistake the scanner has been malfunctioning quite recently
Kreig
That's quite alright! Don't worry about it.
[The trio passers-by and continue searching through the place]
Skyler
Doctor look! Have you ever seen anything like this
Doctor
Well, I don't really think so. Those are only available on Belknap seven, and for only three Of the solar system.
Voraxx Employee
Pssst. Hey, you're there with the funny hat.
Doctor
Yes, what would you want from us?
Voraxx Employee
Would you like to make a deal of sorts
Skyler
(concerned)
What type of deal?
Voraxx Employee
That young male is worth a mint you know. For he’s from A certain time period be in the 2020 decade
Doctor
Ummmm?
Voraxx Employee
Oh Come on, Let us buy him for you. This will be a good deal, just between me and you. No one will know; A perfectly careful Transaction with no official records and tidy some for you, my friend.
Skyler
Doctor! You can't be serious about this deal
Doctor
I can't say you do make a tempting offer. But I have to say no my good man, he's not mine to sell.
Voraxx Employee
Too bad. I could've made you a very wealthy man.
Doctor
I understand thank you but it's a no, And with that we shall be off. Skyler, Kreig, Come along we have more shopping to do!
[They move along to a Section filled with old bicycles, throughout history being displayed. Skyler Notices a three seated bicycle Similar to the one seen in the goodies]
Skyler
Doctor, Can we get this one
Doctor
That three seated bike definitely looks very nice.
Sky
You know We could Ride it inside the tardis for exercise
Doctor
Well, I suppose there would be room to place it in the tardis. I'll think about it.
Skyler
Ok, But look at the ones over there
Doctor
Oh yes, they look very lovely
[Whilst the doctor and Skyler start walking over to a few the other bikes on display, Kreig is suddenly kidnaped by two Voraxx Businessmen]
Kreig
Hey get off me
Voraxx Employee
Save your talking once you get sold off hahaha
[The Voraxx Businessman carrying Kreig can make a run for a Secret passageway hidden in the shop. The music fade back to The Doctor and Jordan continuing to search through the many bikes]
Doctor
Now this here looks like a nice one, I think we'll just leave it and come back for Kreig
Skyler
(Shocked)
Um Doctor, What happened to Kreig
Doctor
What do you mean?
Skyler
He was right there a moment ago! Oh no Don't tell me those Voraxx Creatures took him.
Doctor
Well well it seems that our search has begun
[The doctor runs out the Voraxx’s shop Trying to search for Kreig, Jordan follows behind him and catches up to the doctor]
Doctor
This was all as I anticipated
Skyler
You can't just leave him to be sold off as a slave, That's just downright cruelty!
Doctor
Calm down Skyler. I would never allow that to happen to Kreig, I intend to break this slave market! it's down right Barbaric and Immoral, and I'm going to do something about it
Skyler
But Doctor, how will we ever get Kreig Back. It'll be impossible to find him in this shopping center
Doctor
Don't worry about that. I planted a tracking device on Kreig just before we left the Tardis
Skyler
So that's why You decided to give us cat badges
Doctor
That's right Skyler, I placed a homing device in each of my old cat badges so If we were lost I could easily Find you, now where's my Portable Monitor. There we will be able to find Kreig.
Skyler
Do you think that he'll be dead when we find them
Doctor
I highly doubt that The Voraxx would harm Kreig, he's too valuable alive. In fact they'll take good care of them. Right then, Let's pay another visit to the Voraxx Store to see if they have anything to say for themselves.
[The Doctor starts using his tracking device and Continues to search the Frenko Bazaar, soon the Doctor and Skyler make a stop back to Stellar Imports and exports as it seems They have come full circle]
Doctor
Yes. There's clearly no surprises here
Skyler
It's completely empty, How did they Leave it abandoned so quickly
Doctor
Seems the Voraxx are very Resourceful. Fortunately for us, Will find Kreig And the slave market for our own means
[Suddenly the tracking device starts going haywire as it Texting the whereabouts where Krieg last was]
Skyler
Doctor, your tracking device is going off!
Doctor
Looks like the tracer is leading this way, come along!
[Skyler and the doctor start to make their way to a door that is completely sealed off from the store, The doctor uses this song screwdriver to try and open the door to have no avail]
Doctor
Just as I thought, this service door here is protective from Sonic devices. Skyler, Do you think you can open the security lock on The door?
Skyler
I should think so. It's a simple enough logic puzzle from when I was at school.
[Sky types down A few numbers on the combination lock switch successfully opens the door]
Doctor
That was very easy
Skyler
Case in point, the year in which the Frenko Bazaar was open, 4037
Doctor
Very good on you, Looks like we're getting closer to where Kreig is! Come along Skyler!
[The two Start walking through a dark tunnel Hidden beneath the Frenko Bazaar and come across a Teleport like device]
Doctor
AHA! Just as I suspected, a Trans-Mat device!
Skyler
Are you sure it's safe?
Doctor
Course it is, it's a lot like What do you see in Star Trek. This won't be too painful
Skyler
If you say so
[The Doctor starts pressing the keypad on the Teleport device and both the Doctor and Sky are Teleported to a massive space carrier up above the Frenko Bazaar]
Skyler
Doctor, look! There's the planet below! We must be in space
Doctor
Yes, I can feel it in my toes through the decks. We’re aboard some sort of Freighter or cargo ship, based on the rumble.
[The doctor and Sky start walking through the corridor and find that there's a big crowd of aliens Watching a bidding going on]
Doctor
Looks as though We found the party and Quite a turnout too, best We try and look like we have credits around here and keep a calm demeanor
Skyler
But are you sure this will work?
Doctor
It's best If we make no shocked expressions or anything like that.
It'll turn out fine, trust me
[Both The Doctor and Skyler Start making their way through the crowd, Passing by a number of bystanders bidding the Prices.
Doctor
Excuse me. Make way, make way. Coming through!
[Soon The Doctor and Skyler are in shock, as Discover that a giant alien is being auctioned off as a slave to the highest bidder, a Slave Trader Wearing a Ringmaster get out Presents the alien hoping for the highest better to claim it]
Ringmaster
And here we have Tor the Undefeatable, a fine, fine Specimen indeed gentle beings! Perfectly suited for
Manual Labour, Guard Duty, or even better, The Gladiatorial Arenas on thrall! So What Am I to bid here?
Alien Bystander 1
Three Hundred Quatoos
Alien Bystander 2
That’s rubbish, I’d take it for ninety cubits
Alien Bystander 3
And I bid for seventy eight Altairan Dollars
Ringmaster
Please, please, remember, galactic, standard credits only!
[The Doctor and Sky watch in disdain as the crowd bid the highest number in order to get what they want.]
Doctor
This is utterly barbaric, I simply cannot allow this to happen to any living creature in the universe.
Skyler
And that's a good thing you said that, We better find Kreig before he gets sold off to anyone on this ship
[Skyler and the doctor start passing By through a number of bystanders, However they come to a complete stop when a white robot (from the mind robber) stops the two in their tracks.]
White Robot
Excuse me, you too but you seem to be very important people.
Skyler
Whatever made you think of that?
White Robot
from the dress sense, you Appear to be examiners here to see what we are planning to sell off.
Doctor
Why yes actually, we’re Looking for one of the specimens here as he maybe a bit to irrational for this rowdy bunch
White Robot
Very well enjoy the rest of your visit
Skyler
Oh why thank you! Doctor look at this. The robot handed me this: It's an auction schedule and manifest Device. It says here that Kreig Is scheduled for auction in the second session later today
Doctor
Splendid! Can you find a map on there as well
Sky
I found him. He's in the merchandising viewing area.
Doctor
Well then lead the way Skyler! We've got a prisoner to break loose.
[The to start making their way to a corridor and come across the door that leads to the merchandising viewing area]
Skyler
The Viewing area should be behind the store
Doctor
I've got this part, stand back skyler.
[The doctor pulls out his sonic screwdriver which opens the door the start to walk into the viewing area]
Doctor
After you Skyler
Skyler
With Pleasure
[Once inside Skyler and the Doctor bear witness to hundreds upon thousands of prisoners all being locked up being held in there cells]
Skyler
(Shocked)
I can't believe this doctor. There must be hundreds of prisoners here, These people must have families! Yet Their lives are stolen away by greed and Corruption!
Doctor
I have to admit, It’s quite a dreadful thing to see. I thought slavery was abolished throughout the universe. Yet There are still dark corners that still do such terrible things And we are the ones that have to stop this once and for all.
Skyler
Here it is! I think we've got Kreig’s location.
Doctor
Very good Skyler, Now let's see if a few adjustments to this with my sonic can try and reverse the lock.
[The Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver and scans the prison shield, Which then deactivates. Causing it to Release Kreig from his cell.]
Kreig
Well it's about time you got me out of here!
Doctor
Hi Kreig, You're looking well.
Kreig
OH, I’M FINE! I'm a fine piece of bait, aren't I?
Doctor
Now, let's not get too hasty. I'll try and talk about all this once All this is over.
Skyler
Is there any chance we can get some of the other prisoners out here.
Doctor
Why Of course Skyler, All we have to do is reverse this frequency on the cell doors causing every cell to be Deactivated, Just like so.
[The Doctor presses the Manifest Device which deactivates all the Prison cells in the containment area, Weather shields down no one is getting up or wanting to have freedom]
Kreig
Come on everyone, We're getting you out of here let's get a move on
Skyler
Why is everybody not moving, We have to hurry now
MonTag
There's no point, we can't stop them. They'll just Slaughter us like vermin.
Doctor
Well you have to do something to stand up to these Barbarians
MonTag
Even if we survived we can't get out, and we get get back home to our loved ones, It's hopeless
Skyler
He's demoralized,
Doctor
Completely demoralized, I promise from both of my heart that I will get you out of this place and get you back home.
Kreig
Yo Doctor, have you noticed that if all these cells are all active, then why is there a sealed off door at the end of this section
Skyler
Yeah i can see it too, it would have been open by now
Doctor
Why yes I see what you mean, I think we should have a good look at it.
[All Three Travelers Make their way to the end of the Holding chamber and discover two large cell doors Completely deactivated, The doctor immediately starts to open the doors with his bare hands]
Doctor
Do Help me with this Kreig Try and put your back into it.
Kreig
Sure thing doctor.
[Both Kreig and The Doctor finally get the cell door open. The Doctor, Kreig and Skyler soon discover a resting chamber, being held Inside the chamber is an Ice warrior]
Kreig
Doctor, is that… an Actual Martian
Skyler
It Looks more taller and bulker then what i've remembered
Doctor
You're Correct there Skyler, I Know it better as an Ice Warrior, quite a Unique species if you ask me. I've had a few run-ins with these guys. some good, others bad but all and all a very helpful bunch. Just don’t get them on their bad side. In Fact this one here may be just what we need.
Skyler
But how are we going to wake him up?
Doctor
I'll Try activating the chamber, he may awake from the sleep if I can try to activate the chamber.
[The Doctor uses the control pad on the Cryogenic stasis Chamber to summon the Ice Warrior from its sleep, and in that moment the Ice warrior known as Araxus is awoken, he walks out from its chamber to take in its surroundings.]
Araxus
Where am I
Doctor
Your a captive aboard a slave trading ship
Araxus
Are You My Enssss-Slaver?
Doctor
Absolutely not at all I'm here to free you
Skyler
There are many here held enslaved, but they left will to rise up and need inspiration.
Araxus
I am called… Araxus… Help me up… And I will turn your Ravel into an army
[The Doctor and friends help get Araxus out of his chamber as he starts making his way out of his cell, the alarms start to go off as the white robots make their way into the prison to search the area.]
Doctor
Righty o my friend. You know what to do
White Robot
Alert! Alert! Merchandise has Escaped their cell! Imperative: Subject Will return to its all at once. Repeat-
[the And by the white robot is cut short as its head gets smashed open by Araxus destroying it with his bare hands.]
Araxus
We shall be No one's slaves, let Usssss fight!
[Araxus continues to fight of the horde of white robots, MonTag starts to look up as he watches the Doctor Kreig and Skyler join along tearing down the robotic guards, this to him give him hope as he has a chance to fight]
Montag
Everyone Look, It's a sign of hope. The Green Giants are giving us time to escape
Alien prisoner
MonTag’s right, we have the right to fight back
Montag
So what are we waiting for, we fight for our freedom.
[MonTag and the other alien Prisoners join Araxus as they defend themselves from the white robots
Skyler
Doctor, I think the plan’s working
Doctor
See what i mean, i always knew this was a good idea
Kreig
Man that Ice warrior is one hell of a destroyer, He’s like a wrestler when he smashes those robots.
Araxus
Quickly Everyone. Let Usssss make our way to the Bridge.
MonTag
Let's show those Intergalactic geezers that they have messed with the wrong bunch.
[Araxus, Montag and the rest of the Prisoners start to make their way to the bridge as they start breaking though the doctor]
Kreig
Doctor Wait, if Axaxus and the rest of his gang make there way to the bridge-
Skyler
The riot may go out of control, go out of control and Automatica and there will turn into a massacre.
Doctor
You’re Right, we’ll not let this rebellion end in horrific bloodshed. We better catch up with the others before things get out of control.
[The Doctor, Skyler and Kreig that making there way to bridge
Ringmaster
And here we have the - what on earth is going on here?
[The Ringmaster turns and is in shock when he sees Araxus and the other rebels break though the blast door, all the bidders make a run to the exit, yet some are brutally slaughtered by the rebels]
Alien Bidder
It’s a Revolt! RUN FOR IT
Ringmaster
No please come back, everything is under control
Alien Bidder
Can’t you see you moron, we’re all gonna die, you can keep your lousy stock, I’m heading in the hell out of here.
Ringmaster
You can’t leave me here you fools, i'll get killed
[as the ringmaster tries to make a run for it, Araxus hold him hostage as he is ready to kill the ringleader]
Araxus
And so you shall be
MonTag
It’s Time that we put an end to your region of torture
Doctor
No, Killing your inslaver is not the solution.
MonTag
This monster has put us through hell and back, do you think that the effects he’s put on us will be satisfying
Doctor
I have a better idea, let me deal with him myself
[Araxus lets the ringmaster go and puts him on his knees]
Ringmaster
(scared)
You listen here mister, i don’t know what type of man you are to come here and releases such repulsive vermin
Doctor
You from now on will not call them prisoners, but free aliens
Ringmaster
Please, have pity on me
Doctor
Because of what you did, I wouldn't think so. You may think that I'm just some traveler in a blue box, but I am much more than that. I am the Lord president of Gallifrey, the traveler beyond time. I’m the bringer of darkness, the oncoming storm. Yet sometimes, and only sometimes, I am your worst nightmare.
Ringmaster
Then what do you suggest for me to do?
Doctor
I want you to take your filth and run, Run away and never return
Ringmaster
Dear god, no, noo, noooo!
[with complete horror, the ringmaster makes a run for the exit as he enters a scavenger ship packed with the many alien bidders escaping the space career]
Kreig
Damn doctor, i wasn’t aware that you had a darker side
Doctor
I only show it to those that dare cross me in my path
[once all the ships leave, Araxus makes his stand on the stage and has the crowd cheer and praises him for releasing them from slavery]
MonTag
And so my brothers and sisters, let this be our day of freedom
[The Crowd start cheering freedom]
Doctor
So, my friends, What do you plan to do now
Araxus
the ship issss ourssss. we will return home thosssssse who want to see their native worldssss once more. The ressst can remain as my crew, and together we’ll find out destiny among the ssstars! So says Araxus!
MonTag
All praise Araxus
Whole Crowd
All praise Araxus
[The Crowd continues to cheer Araxus names as the doctor decided to walk back with Jordan and Krieg back to the teleport beam]
Skyler
Well that's our job done and dusted
Doctor
I think it is about time we get back to the tardis, come along you two back the Trans-Mat beam.
[Once the gang arrive as the Transmat station, the doctor starts activating the device using his sonic screwdriver just to be sure that everything is in place]
Doctor
There we go, all sorted fair and square, lucky I've now reprogrammed the transmat beam to teleport us straight back to the tardis without us having to walk all the way through the Frenko Bazaar.
Skyler
Now that's a smart idea
Doctor
I can say that this experience has be quite an unusual one
Kreig
Do you think that Ice warrior guy took off with such a big ship like this Doctor! Who knows what He and his gang might get up to?
Doctor
To try and have a little faith, Kreig. Sometimes you have to give some people the benefit of doubt!
Skyler
He wasn't exactly people, Doctor.
Doctor
oh, you know what I mean!
[The Doctor and his friends start to be teleported back to the tardis, we fade to Araxus and MonTag on the control deck as they start to travel the universe]
Araxus
Now then Montag, Prepare the Hyperjump we have much to see
Montag
Already on it, Araxus, this may take some time to control, I haven't flown a ship in years.
[the music plays as the sound of the vessel out in space making the hyperjump away from the planet, with the sound of the tardis flying off into the distance]
THE END
