A Tooth and Claw Sequel by the Whoniversity

INT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE, HALLWAY - DAY Yaz, Ryan and Graham are panting, all backed against a door, acting as barricades. The Doctor is disheartened; her sonic is faulty, as a result of the recent, off screen events. YAZ Oh my God, the Queen is a werewolf! An actual werewolf!? RYAN Yeah, if there's one thing in the universe I wouldn't have expected, it was that! Graham is too tired to talk, instead continues panting, taking his time to gain composure. THE DOCTOR (to herself) Ma' sonic! She broke the sonic While the Doctor is mourning her life-long, trusted device, Ryan is taking charge. RYAN What are we gonna do? We can't exactly let her, or it, escape! THE DOCTOR (gutted) Argh! The sonic! I'm nothin' with ma' sonic! YAZ DOCTOR! THE DOCTOR What? Listening! She throws the sonic away, and Ryan begins the Plan of action. RYAN I say we should shoot her! YAZ (surprised) Ryan! RYAN Not literally shoot her, just like, a tranquilliser dart. That kind of thing. You know? THE DOCTOR Yes Ryan, good plan. Gold star! Yaz slightly sighs, but Graham doesn't care about the points, he just wants to survive. RYAN is chuffed. THE DOCTOR The problem is, it'd have to be a pretty powerful tranq dart to sedate...(lost for words)..well, the Queen. THUD! The werewolf is bashing on the door, and all three are startled by it, but the Doctor doesn't bat an eyelid. YAZ If we're going with the tranq dart idea, you're gonna need to get one, quick! Before we all become the main course for the werewolf - I- I mean, Queen. THUD! GRAHAM Yes, that's all well and good, Doc. But what then? A werewolf, that's actually the Queen, getting dragged through London? That wouldn't go unnoticed, I'm tellin' you. THE DOCTOR Thanks Graham, with the obvious comments, as always. THUD! GRAHAM doesn't know how to take this, and decides it's a compliment. Mainly because he wants to. YAZ Well? Yaz looks at the Doctor, hope in her eyes, waiting to hear the Doctor's plan, and hoping that she actually HAS a plan! THE DOCTOR On the count of three, we all run. Yaz, Ryan and Graham all shocked by this! The second they let go of the door, the werewolf will break though; killing them! YAZ + RYAN What? GRAHAM Run where? THE DOCTOR Were do you think? (sighs) Start using your brain, Graham! YAZ But as soon as we let go THE DOCTOR D'you really think I didn't think of that? Of course I did, and well... YAZ Yeah? THE DOCTOR It's a chance I'm willing to take! THUD! Yaz and Ryan sigh; they really don't want to be murdered by a werewolf, especially since it happens to be the Queen. GRAHAM And the rest of the plan? THE DOCTOR I'll think of one while we're running! I'm always better at constructing plans under pressure! So, got it? They all nod, but really, they mean no. THE DOCTOR Good. Three. We hear the heartbeats of "the fam". Increasing tension, the THUD-ding on the door continues, it won't hold much longer. Two.....One. THE DOCTOR (shouting) Now! They all leg it, breaking the "barricade" and allowing the wolf to smash through the door; which is actually more like an entrance to a castle, than an actual door as we know it. The wolf breaks through, howling with menace! In the background; in the room the wolf was just in, bodies litter the ground. Suggesting that, well. It's obvious what the bodies suggest... GRAHAM How long left, I'm knackered! THE DOCTOR Just up ahead! The Dining Room! YAZ Oh God, that's reassuring. "Howl of the Wolf". Just up ahead, the dining room door open, and two men, two of the Queen's guards, both armed with rifles, begin firing at the beast. THE DOCTOR NO! Stop! Stop firing! That's the Queen! CUT TO: INT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE, DINING ROOM - CONTINUOUS - DAY They make it to the dining room, and push the doors closed, which takes quite a lot of effort. Just as they close the doors, the wolf lunges for them, but instead bashes against the door, as it's slammed in her face. THE DOCTOR I honestly really appreciate your concern! So thank you, but THAT was the Queen! The soldiers are ashamed of their actions, but continue to guard the door. The Doctor walks over towards the table, as long as the room itself, where her three friends have decided to sit, and rest. While they can. YAZ How long will those doors hold? THE DOCTOR I reckon a good...what? Two minutes? THE FAM TWO MINUTES!??? THE DOCTOR I'm not gonna lie, am I? It's better to be honest about this, so when it now only lasts for two minutes, you won't be disappointed. GRAHAM We won't be disappointed, cos' we'll be dead! Yaz and Ryan agree, unfortunately. THE DOCTOR If I didn't know better, I'd say you've lost faith in me! RYAN You're talking about honesty, yet this is the only thing you've been honest about. THE DOCTOR Ah. I see. Well, we can sort this out after, but right now I've gotta save you, and the entirety of the United Kingdom from a killer werewolf - Who also happens to be the Queen of your country. Awkwarddd. Yaz, Ryan, and Graham..... none of them are amused. THE DOCTOR Wrong time? (Yeah), wrong time! YAZ So what's this plan then? The plan that's gonna fix this mess! THE DOCTOR I've got to get to the TARDIS, and basically, I'm going to - GRAHAM But the TARDIS is 10 minutes away, we'll be dead by then. So you didn't think about us, not even at all? THE DOCTOR Urm... time machine! I can be back before I leave, or just as I leave. ROYAL GUARD Maam!? THE DOCTOR What? Good news? Please say yes. ROYAL GUARD The beast. It's just..stopped. Yaz, Ryan and Graham almost get out of their seats, not believing this to be true. The Doctor, with extreme caution, makes her way to the door. She puts an ear to the door, listening for the slightest sound. Nothing. The Doctor slowly begins to open the door, and suddenly... - The Wolf breaks through, savagely tearing the nearest guard to shreds. It enters the room completely, and Ryan grabs one of the chairs, as a sort of defence, pointing it like a weapon. Graham trips over. Yaz also takes a chair. THE DOCTOR Yaz, I'm sorry that I gave Sonia access to the entirety of the MI6 database. YAZ (shocked) What? You better have a good reason. YAZ throws the chair at the beast, and as expected, does nothing to prevent its rampage. The final guard fires at the monster, and is torn to shreds as was the other. THE DOCTOR Ryan, I should've told you that when you ended the reign of the High Emperor of Clom, it had nothing to do with you, I'd just allowed him to absorb the Quantum Matter Manipulator ten minutes before you even arrived. RYAN (gutted) Wait? What? Argh! RYAN continues to fend of the wolf with his chair. THE DOCTOR And Graham, that time you claimed to have been served a sarni by actual ghosts while we were at Villa Diodati.. GRAHAM Don't tell me they were holograms created by you? THE DOCTOR No. I think they were actual ghosts. GRAHAM (sarcastically) Brilliant. The wolf has finished of the other guard, and ignores the fam, making its way towards the Doctor, like it can sense she'll be a better "meal". THE DOCTOR Argh. I lived a good life. (correction) Lives. The wolf is practically a centimetre away from her face, and as it goes to attack, it falls to the ground. The Doctor manages to move out of the way just before it collapses... Standing in the doorway.. ..Is the actual Queen, and she's holding a strange device; a very powerful weapon, with a very powerful tranquilliser. Now realising they won't die, the Doctor looks awkwardly at her three friends, knowing she has a lot of explaining to do. CUT TO: INT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE, OFFICE - DAY The Queens 'office', or most recognisably, the room in which the Christmas Broadcasts' are filmed. Graham is in awe, Yaz is loving it, and Ryan is touching items on display. THE DOCTOR Honestly, thank you. And thank you again! Really. Without you, me and my mates - my fam - we'd be dead. QUEEN I don't expect a thanks, Doctor, I was just doing my duty. All I ask as a favour, is to never return here, unless directly called by me. THE DOCTOR Understood. Completely understood, thank you. Sorry, I can't stop saying thank you - must be something wrong with me. QUEEN You should most likely be on your way, as you can this years broadcast is about to commence any minute now. The Doctor, stepping away: THE DOCTOR Right, yeah. We'll leave you to get on with your broadcasting, and whatnot, and I'll see you in the future. Or the past. On display, is an ancient artefact, an artefact that is just out of camera, so the people of the country, and anyone tuning into the broadcast don't see anything....alien... RYAN (to himself) Woah, that's so cool. THE DOCTOR Come on, fam! We'd better be off. YAZ This palace is proper cool. RYAN Yeah, like; PROPER! QUEEN Thank you, I do try my best. I do hope I don't see you for quite a while, for if I do, something will be going wrong. THE DOCTOR Oh, there's always something going wrong in the universe. And it's waiting. Waiting for us to go and fix it... Suddenly, the Doctor notices the Queens hand. Thick fur, like that of the wolf, is emerging, and covering her left hand. YAZ Come on then, let's not overstay our welcome! ... Doctor? THE DOCTOR Hold that thought Yaz, because I think the Queen.... The Queen is a werewolf! The Queen looks down at her hands, which are now covered in fur. She raises her hands and observes them, both animistic, and alien in nature.
