The Age of Steel - Two

"You might as well kill me." The Doctor told him.

"Then I take that option." Lumic simply told him, the Doctor cut in before he could do anything.

"It's not yours to take. You're a Cyber Controller. You don't control me or anything with blood in its heart."

"Hearts" Rita whispered and the Doctor winked at her grinning.

"You have no means of stopping me. I have an army. A species of my own."

"You just don't get it, do you? An army's nothing because those ordinary people, they're the key. The most ordinary person could change the world." The Doctor then looked around the room his eyes finally landing on the camera.

"Some ordinary man or woman, some idiot. All it takes is for him to find, say, the right numbers. Say the right codes. Say, for example, the code behind the emotional inhibitor. The code right in front of him. Knows how to get past firewalls and passwords. Knows how to find something encrypted in the Lumic Family Database, under er. What was it, Pete? Binary what?" He clicked his fingers a few times turning to the man for an answer.

"Binary nine," Pete informed him.

The Doctor grinning looking back at the camera again. "An idiot could find that code. Cancellation code And he'd keep on typing. Keep on fighting. Anything to save his friends."

"Your words are irrelevant," Lumic told him.

"Yeah, talk too much, that's my problem. Lucky I got you that cheap tariff, Rose, for all our long chats. Have got to get you one Rita" he looked at the brunette standing next to him. "You could join our long chats as well"

"On your phone Rose." He looked up at the camera again nodding slightly as if he was telling Mickey and Jake to keep it up.

"You will be deleted," Lumic informed them having had enough of the Doctors rambling.

"Yes. Delete, control, hash. All those lovely buttons. Then, of course, my particular favourite," he looked over at the brunette raised a brow.

"Send" she answered.

"And let's not forget how you seduced all those ordinary people in the first place." He reminded Lumic just as Rose's phone began to beep. "By making every bit of technology compatible with everything else."

"It's for you." Rose chucked the phone at him which he caught.

"Like this." He placed Rose's phone on a docking station the text with the numbers appeared on the screen transmitting it to all of the Cybermen who were now clutching their heads crying out in pain. The code then appeared on every screen in the room.

"I'm sorry." The Doctor looked at them sadly.

"What have you done?" Lumic asked sounding pisses off.

"I gave them back their souls. They can see what you've done, Lumic, and it's killing them!" He. Shouted over the screaming then ran out Rita and Rose following behind along with Pete.

Lumic began to cry out however not doing anything apart from sitting in his chair. "Delete! Delete! Delete!"

The building began to light on fire and burn around them. "There's no way out!" The Doctor shouted.

"Secret" Rita shouted. "Roof!" The Doctor nodded taking the lead and heading up the stairs, the fires continued to burn and sparks started to fly around them, Rose screamed as a spark startled her. Rose's phone then started to ring.

"Little late for that Mickey" Rose said into the phone then hung up following the Doctor up the stairs.

They arrived on the roof and a zeppelin was hovering above them a ladder reaching to the ground for them to climb.
