Rose, Pete, Tate and Ken made it to the Battersea Power Station. There were Cybermen everywhere so they did their best to keep out of sight. The Cybermen were escorting people inside the power station. "Just put them on" Pete said. He reached into his pocket and got out the earbuds. "Don't show any emotion. No signs, nothing. Okay?"

"Luckily I've had S.H.I.E.L.D training for this sort of thing" Ken mentioned. He looked to Tate. "What about you, son? You're looking a little nervous"

Tate took a deep breath and then let it out in a sigh. "I can do this" He looked to Rose. "Right? We can do this?"

Rose gave him a smile of comfort. "Don't worry. We can do this" They all put the earpods in.

"We could die in here. Why are you doing this?" Pete asked Rose.

"Let's just say I'm doing it for my mum and dad. Right, let's go" The four of them left their hiding spot and they joined the procession.

Jake, Nova and Mickey made it to the roof of the power station. Jake climbed the ladder first to take a look. There were two guards. He set foot on the roof first, and then Nova and Mickey followed. They hid out of sight from the guards. "Two guards. We can take them" Jake said.

"We're not killing them" Nova protested.

"Who put you in charge, blondie?"

"First of all, she's the Nightingale" Mickey spoke up in Nova's defence. "If any of us should be in charge, it should be her. Second, if you kill them, what's the difference between you and the Cybermen?"

Nova smiled proudly at Mickey, and gave him a pat on the back. "That's my Mickey"

"I suppose we could use these" Jake suggested. He handed a bottle to Nova. She inspected it closely, as did Mickey.

"Smelling salts?" Mickey wondered.

"Bit stronger than that. One of Mrs Moore's little tricks. Should knock them out"

"I like it" Nova voiced her approval. She gave the bottle over to Mickey. "I'll let you do the honours, Mickey. Jake, on your count"

Jake began to count. "Three, two, one" They ran out from their cover and ran up to the two guards. Jake got behind one guard and Mickey went up behind the other. They held the bottles up to the guards' noses, and they both collapsed from the vapors.

"There's got to be more guards on board" Mickey realized.

"Then let's go get them" Jake said. They began climbing the stairs that led up into the zeppelin.

The Doctor, Mrs. Moore, and other-Nova were still walking along in the cooling tunnels. "How did you get into this, then, rattling along with the Preachers?" The Doctor asked Moore.

Moore began to explain. "Oh, I used to be ordinary. Worked at Cybus Industries, nine to five, till one day, I find something I'm not supposed to. A file on the mainframe. All I did was read it. Then suddenly I've got men with guns knocking in the middle of the night. Life on the run. Then I found the Preachers. They needed a techie, so I, I just sat down and taught myself everything"

"What about Mr. Moore?"

"Well, he's not called Moore. I got that from a book, Mrs Moore. It's safer not to use real names. But he thinks I'm dead. It was the only way to keep him safe. Him and the kids. What about you? Got any family, or?"

"Oh, who needs family? I've got the whole world on my shoulders"

"You aren't married to the other me?" other-Nova asked. The Doctor looked at her, with the slightest amused smile on his face. "I mean, you two act like it"

"We aren't married, no" The Doctor said, before admitting truthfully. "I wouldn't mind if we were though"

Other-Nova smiled at him. "And this other me? Does she have a family?"

"Her family is rather complicated. She's got children that she was forced to forget about"

Other-Nova's smile dropped and her heart broke at the news. "That's awful. Who would make you forget about your own children?"

The Doctor shrugged. "Like I said, her family is complicated. She doesn't even know that I know about her family" The Doctor directed another question at Mrs. Moore. "Go on, then. What's your real name?"

"Angela Price. Don't tell a soul" Moore said.

"Not a word" Unbeknownst to them, the moment that they had walked by one of the Cybermen, it activated. Mrs. Moore was quick to catch on to a Cyberman in front of them moving it's arm.

"Doctor, did that one just move?" Moore shined a light on the Cyberman.

"It's just the torchlight. Keep going, come on" Another Cyberman near them moved. "They're waking up. Run!" They ran along the row. The row, in turn, fell in behind them and then began to follow after them. The Doctor, Moore, and other-Nova got to a ladder at the end of the tunnel.

"Get up! Quick! They're coming! Open it! Open it!" Moore urged frantically. The Doctor managed to open the trapdoor. They managed to beat the Cybermen up the ladder, and then closed the trapdoor again. The Doctor sealed it with his sonic screwdriver.

"Oh, good team, Mrs Moore, and Director Nova Galvin of S.H.I.E.L.D" The Doctor said.

______

Rose, Pete, Tate and Ken made it inside the powerstation. One of the Cybermen stopped the procession at Rose. Pete was just behind her, followed by Tate, and then Ken. "You will wait" the Cyberman told Rose.

"You okay?" Pete asked Rose.

"No" Rose admitted.

"How about you two?" Pete asked Tate and Ken.

"I'm gonna have to agree with Rose on this one" Tate said.

"We'll be alright, son" Ken assured him.

"Chamber six now open for human upgrading. All reject stock will be incinerated" a Cyberman's voice announced. A woman walked into the chamber. The whirring sound of multiple blades could be heard. When she walked out, she was a Cyberman.

"Any sign of Jackie?" Pete asked. A Cyberman clomped up to them.

"You are Peter Tyler" the Cyberman said. "Confirm you are Peter Tyler"

"Confirmed"

"I recognise you. I went first. My name was Jacqueline Tyler"

"No" Rose gasped.

"What?" Pete asked, horrified.

"They are unprogrammed. Restrain" the Cyberman ordered.

"If you restrain them, you'll have to restrain us too!" Tate spoke up, stepping forward so he was wedged in between Rose and Pete.

"He's right" Ken also stepped forward. He placed a hand on Tate's shoulder. "Restrain us as well" Four Cybermen came up and restrained Rose, Pete, Tate and Ken.

"You're lying. You're not her. You're not my Jackie!" Pete cried.

"No, I am Cyber-form. Once I was Jacqueline Tyler" the Cyberman explained.

"But you can't be" Rose said.

"Her brain is inside this body"

"Jacs, I came to save you" Pete said.

"This man worked with Cybus Industries to create our species. He will be rewarded by force. Take them to Cyber Control" The four of them were escorted away.

"They killed her" Rose said. "They took her and killed her"

"Maybe there's a chance, I don't know. Maybe we can reverse it" Pete suggested.

"There's nothing we can do"

"But if, if she remembers" Pete looked behind him. He was trying to see if he could find the Jackie-Cyberman, but there was a group of Cybermen instead. "Where is she? Which one was it? Which one was her?"

"They all look the same"

______

Nova, Mickey and Jake dumped another guard on the floor inside of Lumic's zeppelin. "Nice one. Nobody's home. Find the transmitter controls" Jake said.

"What do they look like?" Mickey asked.

"Well, I don't know. They might have Transmitter Controls written in big red letters. Just look!" They all began looking around the zeppelin. Nova had her sonic screwdriver out and began scanning everything she could. Mickey jumped in fright when he saw a Cyberman. "Cyberman!" Jake announced as he pointed his gun at it. The Cyberman wasn't moving. Jake turned on the alcove light. Nova scanned the Cyberman with her sonic screwdriver.

"It's dead" Nova explained. "It was never alive"

Mickey knocked on the Cyberman's head. "It's empty. No brain. It's just a robot suit. It's for display"

"Okay" Jake said. "Transmitter"

______

The Doctor, Mrs. Moore, and other-Nova found themselves in a corridor. They also came face-to-face with a Cyberman. "You are not upgraded" It said to them.

"Yeah? Well, upgrade this" Moore challenged. She threw a small rod wrapped in copper wire at the Cyberman. It stuck to the Cyberman and it jerked, sparked, and then collapsed.

"What the hell was that thing?" The Doctor asked, impressed at Moore's gadget.

"Electromagnetic bomb. Takes out computers, I figured it might stop the cyber-suit"

"You figured right. Now, let's have a look. Know your enemy" The three of them kneeled beside the fallen Cyberman. The Doctor got out his sonic screwdriver and scanned around the logo plated on the Cyberman's chest. "A logo on the front. Lumic's turned them into a brand" He took off the logo. "Heart of steel, but look" He picked up something white and stringy.

"That's flesh, isn't it?" other-Nova asked.

"Hmmm. Central nervous system. Artificially grown then threaded throughout the suit so it responds like a living thing. Well, it is a living thing. Oh, but look. Emotional inhibitor. Stops them feeling anything"

"Why?"

"It's still got a human brain. Imagine its reaction if it could see itself, realise itself inside this thing. They'd go insane"

"So they cut out the one thing that makes them human" Moore said.

"Because they have to"

"Why am I cold?" the Cyberman asked.

"Oh, my God. It's alive. It can feel" Moore stated.

"We broke the inhibitor. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" The Doctor apologized to the Cyberman.

"Why so cold?" the Cyberman asked again.

"Can you remember your name?"

"Sally. Sally Phelan"

"You were a woman?" other-Nova asked in surprise, raising her eyebrows at the Cyberman.

"Where's Gareth?"

"Who's Gareth?"

"He can't see me. It's unlucky the night before"

A tear slipped from other-Nova's eye, and it landed on the Cyberman with a splash. "You're getting married"

"I'm cold. I'm so cold"

"It's all right" the Doctor comforted the Cyberman. "You sleep now, Sally. Just go to sleep" He used the sonic screwdriver on its chest cavity and switched it off. "Sally Phelan didn't die for nothing, because that's the key. The emotional inhibitor. If we could find the code behind it, the cancellation code, then feed it throughout the system into every Cyberman's head, they'd realise what they are"

"And what happens then?" Moore asked.

"I think it would kill them. Could we do that?"

"We've got to. Before they kill everyone else" The look on The Doctor's face said that he didn't really want to. "There's no choice, Doctor. It's got to be done" Mrs. Moore stood up, only to be touched and electrocuted by a Cyberman. The Doctor and other-Nova stood up. Other-Nova was grabbed by The Doctor. He protectively pulled her behind him.

"No! No, you didn't have to kill her!" The Doctor screamed at the Cyberman.

"Sensors detect a binary vascular system. You are an unknown upgrade. You will be taken for analysis" the Cyberman said. Two more Cybermen surrounded them. The Doctor and other-Nova reluctantly followed the Cybermen.

______

"The transmitter controls are sealed behind here" Mickey said, referring to the box they were standing in front of. "We need like an oxyacetylene or something"

"Oh, and I forgot to bring it with me" Jake sassed.

Nova glared her eyes at him. "Not the time for your sarcasm, Jakey boy"

"Well then, what do we do?" Mickey wondered.

"We'll crash the zeppelin" Jake suggested.

"With us inside it?"

"Jake's onto something" Nova agreed with the blonde boy. "We could set it to automatic---"

"And just leg it" Jake finished for her. "Let's have a look" They went over to the keyboard that had all the steering controls. Jake tried typing. "It's locked. There's got to be an override"

"Let me have a go" Mickey said, shoving Jake out of the way. He began typing on the keyboard. " "I'm good with computers. Trust me"

"He really is!" Nova vouched with a smile.

As Mickey began to work, a red light on the back of the keyboard began to blink. A light in the alcove with the Cyberman also began to blink.

______

The Cybermen led The Doctor and other-Nova into a control room. Rose, Pete, Tate, and Ken were also in the control room. "I've been captured, but don't worry, Rose and Pete, and Tate and Ken are still out there. They can rescue me" The Doctor said as he approached them. "Oh well, never mind. You okay?"

"Yeah. But they got Jackie" Rose said.

"We were too late. Lumic killed her" Pete explained.

"Then where is he, the famous Mister Lumic? Don't we get the chance to meet our Lord and Master?" The Doctor asked the Cybermen.

"He has been upgraded" a Cyberman answered.

"So he's just like you?"

"He is superior. The Lumic Unit has been designated Cyber Controller" A door opened and a Cyberman in an upgraded wheelchair was wheeled out.

"This is The Age of Steel and I am its Creator" the Cyber-Lumic said.
