Ìt hasn't?' It was the Doctor's turn to look puzzled. `Then what is it?'

Ì've told you, Doctor; Saraquazel. He who will usher in a new age of harmony and prosperity.'

Anne checked her watch: 11.50. After hours of research and preparation, she was certain that everything was ready.

Sitting on the carpeted floor of the library annex with the scribbled incantation in front of her, she clutched the Yeti sphere tightly in both hands.

It was time to begin.

In a hushed yet expectant voice, she started to cast the incantation.

Louise slid the bolt across the heavy metal door that was presumably the loading bay for the Hall, and stepped back.

Until they had actually reached the inset door at the side of the pyramid, she hadn't been sure whether they would be able to get in or not. Thankfully, it seemed that any security that the Millennium Hall possessed was mingling with the crowds at the front; not only had the door been unguarded, it had also been open.

And then she jumped as something hurled itself against the door from the outside. And she didn't need three guesses to work out what it was.

`That won't hold them for long,' she said. And then, Cassie

– who had taken everything up till now in her stride, with wide-eyed wonderment and silence – started wailing. 'That's all I need,' Louise sighed, trying to calm her.

She looked around. The loading bay was large and empty, without any obvious places to hide. And thanks to the huge banks of fluorescent lighting, there weren't any dark corners to protect them either.

`Look around for some way out!' she ordered. Barry – the excitement having gone some way in sobering him up – ran over to the left, while Mel took the opposite side.

`This one's locked!' Barry called over, pointing at the door next to him. Mel's shrug opposite indicated that she had discovered the same thing.

`We're trapped!' she screamed, making Louise wince. Then the thumping grew much louder, and Louise suddenly realized that the hinges were giving way.

`They're almost through!' she yelled, causing Cassie to scream even louder. Deciding that the door was not the most sensible place to stand, she ran over to Barry, who had picked up a large piece of wood and was weighing it up in his hands.

`What good will that do?' asked Mel.

`That umbrella had quite an effect on Derek,' Louise pointed out as she joined them.

`But it didn't last long, did it?' yelled Barry as the door caved in, hitting the floor with a deafening slap. The cybrids were through.

`Group together!' Mel instructed. 'And pick up something to defend yourself with,' she added, hefting up a two-foot long piece of discarded scaffolding.

Louise looked around, but immediately realized that she was hardly in a position to start swinging pieces of wood or scaffolding around while holding Cassie.

The lead cybrid stopped about ten feet away from them.

From the almost healed scar across its face, it was obviously Derek.

`You've led us a merry dance, children,' he hissed. `But it stops, now.
