《Doctor Who : The Emerging Robots》Escape & The First Showdown
Advertisement
The glacial breeze blowing constantly froze the window. His hand was practically stuck to the side of the chamber. White specks of frost covered the Doctor as he awoke only to begin to shiver frantically. He was locked inside the same chamber the previous man who got shot only moments before was locked inside. The Sedranstak robots were locking the door the Time Lord had tried to escape out of earlier. He could feel the residual energy waving up and down his body creating heat so he could survive as he was still in the first hour of his regeneration cycle. With the particles in action, he began to move his arm off the side of the chamber in which he had been stuck to. He brought it up towards the inner left pocket of his jacket where he had placed his sonic screwdriver when he got changed.
The pocket was ripped and the screwdriver was missing, lacking that survival feeling the Doctor previously had. He had completely forgotten about the time crash set to go off in 15 minutes as the Doctor was knocked out for a fair amount of time. Luckily, it was rested on the floor but the space within the chamber made it hard to get it. It was covered in frost so a push of a button was all it took for it to heat up enough so it actually worked. The white solid covered the device quickly began to melt and drip down to where the Doctor had rest his feet. It was soon gone within no time. The good old screwdriver was good for use. The button was pressed and the device was aimed at the lock on the exterior of the chamber. The connection was very dodgy between the screwdriver and the lock, instead accidentally activating a more powerful blast of frost to hit the Doctor. He had to hurry if he wanted to live and save time. The frost was quickly building up and his legs were stiffening along with his arms. However, the connection on the sonic screwdriver began to connect to the lock and within seconds, the door unlocked and flew open. He was free but he now only has 13 minutes to save Earth from a time crash.

Sirens began to blare out from the room as one of the robots stomped inside with attack mode level 3 engaged. Their tone of voice was more stern than before. The Doctor ran behind where the unknown man hid before he was brutally killed.
"Stop. I know you are here. Step out and face your punishment." The gun was hoisted up and fired a laser at the chamber lock which caused a few sparks to fly and an explosion to go off, startling the man. He pulled out his screwdriver once again and enhance the frequency. He pointed it at the lights and pushed the button, causing the lights to implode. The room went to pitch black with the exception of a laser sight on the gun from the Sedranstak robot.
The Doctor now had to find a way to take out this bot without attracting any attention unless he wanted to meet a brutal end. He lowered the frequency of the screwdriver to the minimum so it acted purely as a light in order to get around. He pushed the button at the wrong time as the bot spotted him and fired. Luckily he missed and the Doctor turned off the screwdriver in order to avoid detection. Then, an idea sparked into his mind. He activated a strobe light mode on the device and threw it over the Sedranstak so it landed behind it, causing a distraction. Somehow it worked. With quick movements, the Doctor ran over to a power supply which could only just be seen from a distance. He flicked a switch which activated luminous lights to brighten the room. The Doctor has revealed himself and practically allowed himself to be shot. With split second thinking and a new agile body, the Doctor sprinted across the room in zig zags towards the other side, jumped on the top of the chambers and jumped onto the wall in which there was a small railing above the door. A smooth backflip landed the Doctor on the shoulders of the Sedranstak. It soon began tossing back and forth trying to get rid of the Doctor but he grabbed hold of the head for dear life. The robot was constantly throwing itself around until it took once wrong move and threw the Doctor right off it whilst ripped off his head from the circuits. The head was where most of the central processing units were installed. That was one down, one to go as far as he knew...

The Dark Lord Gillian - Tales of Prompted Madness (Complete)
There's an evil wizard. A dark knight. An elf with a shovel. There's a dude with a car. And there is a lot of just complete and total chaos. ... As an explanation for those mildly interested or mildly confused: this is a story that was crafted from the beloved-madness that is r/writingprompts. From one prompt, to the next prompt, to the next, with no other way to progress except taking a new prompt and using it. Far as stories go, this one was spawned by a mix of blind-clicks, and dice-rolls, more than any true selection process. Fantasy driven, it was written mostly in my spare hours between work-projects and on lunch breaks (whenever I was lucky enough to get those) by clicking on reddit writingprompts that I could find within those windows of time. Title is notable cliche, and I'm far more than just open to alternative suggestions. This story is complete and will by copied and pasted in with minimal to no clean-up. It will not be held to much in the way of quality standards. So if you have corrections, just keep that in mind... But, on the brighter-side of things, there will be an awful lot of it. Apologies ahead of time.

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.
