Series 2 Special
"Out of the Rubble"
Guest Starring: Eve Myles and Cheryl Cole
The team were lying beneath the rubble of the ARC, which had just been bombed by Helen Cutter. It seemed like the end for Danny and Harry, who Helen injured before blowing the ARC up anyway. Jenny started to stir. She opened her eyes, but she couldn’t move. She was trapped underneath all of the rubble. She tried calling for help, but no-one responded. She thought she had broken her arm.
Police had arrived outside, along with the press. They put out the police lines, and had officers blocking off the press while they closed the gate. Someone was pushing through the crowds of reporters. It was Cheryl Cole.
“Excuse me officer, but is there any news about Lloyd Daniels?”, asked Cheryl, sounding worried.
“I’m sorry Mrs. Cole, but we have no news of anyone. We don’t know if anyone is even alive”, a police officer told Cheryl. Someone from ITV News asked to interview her in the studio later, Cheryl agreed, and decided to go home and get ready, leaving her phone on incase Lloyd calls her.
Gwen Cooper was sitting at home. Life without Torchwood proved pretty boring. She heard her baby crying.
”Rhys!”, cried a very exhausted Gwen.
“OK, OK!”, shouted Rhys from the bathroom. Gwen picked up her laptop. She had forgotten that she had downloaded the Torchwood software to it. An alert popped up. It read “EMERGENCY! GOVERNMENT BUILDING DESTROYED! GO TO ANOMALY RESEARCH CENTRE, LONDON”. Gwen didn’t feel like driving to London, but decided to in the end.
“Rhys, I’m going out!”, Gwen shouted to Rhys. Then she went out the door with the car keys, just as Rhys came out of the bathroom.
”Goodbye then”, moaned Rhys, as Gwen didn’t wait to say goodbye to him properly.
Lloyd woke up in the ARC. He managed to squeeze out of the rubble and squirm to Jenny.
”It’s OK, you’ll be absolutely fine”, Lloyd reassured Jenny, who looked terrified. Lloyd tried to gently nudge her out.
“OWCH!”, screamed Jenny. Lloyd then tried to lift the massive pillar that fell on Jenny, but he wasn’t strong enough. After that, Mia woke up. She was also trapped. Lloyd tried to free her, and succeeded.
“Could you help me move this pillar?”, asked Lloyd.
”I’ll try, but I won’t be much use”, answered Mia. Before they could do that, they heard someone crying for help, then moaning, but they couldn’t see who it was.
“It’s Lester, only he makes those complains!”, joked Mia. She started digging under the rocks and rubble for him, while Lloyd tried to move the pillar.
Outside, ambulances started to arrive, and paramedics rushed in. The press wouldn’t give up until they got their story, but the police refused to tell them anything. Actually, it wasn’t that they refused; it was that they didn’t know anything in the first place!
The paramedics wrested over the rocks and rubble to get to the main control room. They saw Cutter and Harry lying on the floor, unconscious. They saw that Harry had a gunshot wound, so got to her first, and carried her out, then put her on a stretcher. Cutter started coming round, and some more paramedics helped him out. When he got outside, Cutter was nearly blinded by the brightness of the camera flashes from the press, but what astounded him the most was the Future Predator next to the gate out of sight.
“There’s a Predator there, you need to get out of here!”, exclaimed Cutter. The paramedics took no notice, and thought it may have been an aftershock. Cutter pulled out his gun from his pocket (which was surprisingly still there and working) and shot the Predator, which fell dead and frightened the press to death. Some started running.
”They deserved that”, laughed Cutter. As the press were running, Gwen Cooper arrived, and Cheryl Cole came back. They saw each other.
“Oh my god, you’re Cheryl Cole”, said a starstruck Gwen, “I’m Gwen Cooper”.
“Nice to meet you Gwen”, replied Cheryl.
“What are you doing here?”, asked Gwen.
“I’m waiting to hear about Lloyd Daniels. He works here now”, Cheryl told her, “What about you?”.
“I used to work in Torchwood down in Cardiff. I got an alert about this happening, and came to investigate. Doubt it’s anything fishy. But those creatures do look funny”, explained Gwen.
“Yeah. These creatures do”, agreed Cheryl. Then she saw Cutter, “Oh, Cutter!”, and she ran over to him.
“Hiya. I don’t know about Lloyd, sorry”, Cutter read Cheryl’s mind, and answered the question before she asked it.
“OK. How are you?”, asked Cheryl.
“I’m fine. Just a few cuts and bruises”, replied Cutter.
“Hi, I’m Gwen Cooper from Torchwood in Cardiff. I came to help you”, introduced Gwen.
“Nice to meet you. Let’s go inside and find the team”, Cutter told them.
Back inside the ARC, Lloyd was struggling to free Jenny. Mia had found Lester, and was helping him out. Lester and Mia then started helping Lloyd get Jenny out. Captain Mitchell managed to get himself out, and helped them free Jenny. With his help, Jenny got out. Now they had to find Abby, Claudia, Sarah, Danny and Connor. Cutter, Cheryl and Gwen came in.
“Lloyd!”, cried Cheryl, and she ran over to hug him.
“Where’s Harry?”, asked Jenny.
“She’s on her way to hospital”, Cutter told them.
“What about Helen?”, asked Mia.
“We don’t know. She’s disappeared again”, replied Cutter, “I saw a Future Predator outside. They must have come through that anomaly that we detected but Helen told us to forget”.
“Oh, and this is Gwen Cooper from Torchwood in Cardiff. She came down to help us”, Cheryl introduced Gwen.
“Never mind them, we need to find Danny, Claudia, Abby, Connor and Sarah pronto”, said Captain Mitchell. Everyone started looking around and digging, being very cautious. Even Lester got his hands dirty. They found Sarah, Abby, Claudia and Connor, who were conscious, but they couldn’t find Danny, who was already injured. Paramedics came rushing in and they helped look for Danny, aswell as taking Jenny to hospital to get her arm looked at. The rest of the team were lucky, escaping with a few cuts and bruises. They found Danny, unconscious, barely alive, and the paramedics rushed him out. Gwen helped out a lot.
“Thanks for the help”, Mia said to Gwen when they got outside.
”No problem. Anyway, I must be off!”, she replied. The team said goodbye to her, and she drove off.
The rest of the team (including Cheryl) went to the hospital to see Danny, Jenny and Harry. Jenny was ready to be taken home, and Danny and Harry were alive and well now.
Helen had opened her own anomaly. She also escaped with only a few cuts and bruises. She was now by the anomaly in Oxford Street, where the future creatures were. She planned to help them destroy London.
