====Formation of the alliance==== | |||
In [[4000]], [[Space Security Service]] agent [[Marc Cory]] travelled to [[Kembel]] to investigate reports of Dalek presence at the planet, without informing his superiors of his suspicions. He discovered the Daleks were forming an alliance, known as the [[Galactic Council]], with various powers from [[Outer Galaxies]]. Overseen by the [[Black Dalek Leader|Black Dalek]], the alliance targeted Earth with the intent of invading the solar system. Marc recorded a message for Earth warning of his discovery but was found and exterminated before he could send it.

[[Guardian of the Solar System]] [[Mavic Chen]] agreed to join the Daleks' alliance in secret, supplying [[taranium]] that the Daleks needed to construct the [[Time Destructor]]. Chen planned to betray the Daleks as soon as he had the weapon, intending to send a fleet at [[Venus]] to destroy the alliance. Chen believed he would have an inevitable rise to greatness as "First Ruler of the Universe", and had allies on Earth supporting his scheme, including the head of the SSS, [[Karlton (The Daleks' Master Plan)|Karlton]]. | [[Guardian of the Solar System]] [[Mavic Chen]] agreed to join the Daleks' alliance in secret, supplying [[taranium]] that the Daleks needed to construct the [[Time Destructor]].

Chen travelled to Kembel to deliver the taranium to the Galactic Council, with his arrival coinciding with two SSS agents, [[Bret Vyon]] and [[Kert Gantry]], crash landing on the planet after travelling there in search of Marc Corey. Kert fell victim to a Dalek patrol whilst Bret escaped, encountering the [[First Doctor]] who had just arrived on the planet in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] along with [[Steven Taylor]] and [[Katarina]]. Despite the Daleks' efforte to flush out the intruders by setting Kembel's jungle alight, the Doctor and Bret were able to infiltrate their city. Whilst Bret, Steven and Katarina went to hijack a ship so Bret could reach Earth, the Doctor posed as delegate [[Zephon (The Daleks' Master Plan)|Zephon]] at the Galactic Council meeting where Chen presented the taranium core. The Doctor stole it and escaped with his companions in Chen's own ship, the ''[[Spar]]''. The Daleks subsequently exterminated Zephon for his failure. | Chen travelled to Kembel to deliver the taranium to the Galactic Council, with his arrival coinciding with two SSS agents, [[Bret Vyon]] and [[Kert Gantry]], crash landing on the planet after travelling there in search of Marc Corey.

The Daleks pursued the ''Spar'', using randomiser to disable the controls of the ship and eventually force land it on [[Desperus]] with a Dalek ship in hot pursuit. Despite an attempt by prisoners stuck on the planet to hijack the vessel, the Doctor and Bret managed to effect repairs takeoff again. A prisoner from Desperus, [[Kirksen]], revealed himself onboard however and held Katarina at knifepoint to force them to travel to the nearest planet, Kembel, ignoring their protests of the danger there. Katarina opened the airlock she and Kirksen, sending herself and her captor out into space, sacrificing herself to ensure the others might reach Earth. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'') Katarina's body was eventually recovered from space by [[River Song]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Companion Piece (audio story)|Companion Piece]]'') The ''Spar'' subsequently escaped the Daleks in pursuit, so the Black Dalek ordered the pursuing forces be killed for their failure, with Chen now ordered to use his influence on Earth to intercept the trio. | ====Pursuit of the Doctor==== | ||

Reaching Earth, the Doctor, Steven and Bret sought out a friend of Bret's, [[Daxtar]], who they discovered was actually involved in the conspiracy leading to Bret killing him. With Chen having branded the trio traitors, Karlton assigned Bret's sister, [[Sara Kingdom]], and her partner [[Borkar]], to hunt them down. Tracing them to the facility where Daxtar worked, Sara gunned down Bret and pursued the Doctor and Steven, following them into a [[molecular dissemination]] experiment which teleported them to [[Mira (planet)|Mira]]. Chen reported the development to the Daleks, pretending this was intentional as Mira was closer to Kembel, who sent a salvage team to Mira. | Reaching Earth, the Doctor, Steven and Bret sought out a friend of Bret's, [[Daxtar]], who they discovered was actually involved in the conspiracy leading to Bret killing him.

On Mira, the Doctor and Steven were able to convince Sara of their innocence and fended off attacks by the invisible [[Visian]]s. The Dalek forces sent to capture them also came into conflict with the Visians, enabling the trio to steal their ship. The Daleks attempted to use the autopilot to direct the hijacked vessel to Kembel, only for Steven to rip it out forcing them to use a magnetised beam to pull the ship instead. Whilst en route the Doctor and Sara worked together to fashion a fake taranium core. Steven's attempt to help using the ship's gravity field left him in a walking vegetative state with a force field around him, which the Doctor decided to use to their advantage on Kembel. Having Sara stay behind Steven, the Doctor bargained with Chen and the Daleks to give them the core at his TARDIS. Outside his ship he handed over the fake and then fled inside, shielded from the Daleks' attempt to exterminate him by Steven's forcefield, with the firepower also returning Steven to normal. Together the Doctor, Steven and Sara fled Kembel in the TARDIS, with the real taranium core still in their possession, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'') and subsequently spent months travelling together in time and space.

The Daleks prepared to test the time destructor, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Sontarans (audio story)|The Sontarans]]'') only to discover the taranium was a fake. The Black Dalek sent for a [[Dalek time machine]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'') commanded by a [[Red Dalek]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Mutation of Time (novelisation)|The Mutation of Time]]'') to hunt down the Doctor and ordered that Chen accompany them. The Daleks located the time travellers in Ancient [[Egypt]] and forced [[First Monk|the Monk]], who was in the midst of attempting to exact his own revenge on the Doctor, to help them. Capturing Steven and Sara, the Daleks forced the Doctor to handover the taranium core to save his friends. The barter was interrupted by ancient Egyptians, enabling the Doctor, Steven and Sara and the Monk to flee, though Chen was able to seize the core first. The Daleks attempted to hunt down the Doctor, however mistakenly targeted [[the Monk's TARDIS]] instead as the Doctor had changed its appearance to match his ship's exterior. After the Monk dematerialised, the Daleks returned to Kembel with the core. Using a [[directional unit]] he'd stolen from the Monk's TARDIS, the Doctor piloted his TARDIS to Kembel in pursuit. | ====Skirmish in Ancient Egypt==== | ||

====Final confrontation==== | |||
On Kembel, the Daleks and Chen turned on the Galactic Council delegates, sealing them in a room to be destroyed in the first test of time destructor, and began preparing the five thousand-strong invasion force. Having becoming separated from the Doctor in the dende jungle, Steven and Sara infiltrated the Dalek city and freed the delegates, who now swore to rally their forces against the Dalek invasion. | |||
After the delegates left in their ships, Chen found Steven and Sara and held them at gunpoint, forcing them to move deeper into the Dalek base, now believing they were seeking to replace him as the Daleks' ally. Chen presented them to the Daleks however the Black Dalek turned on him and ordered his extermination, with Chen delusionally proclaiming his immortality as they killed him. | |||
The Doctor emerged from hiding during the distraction and ordered Steven and Sara back to the TARDIS whilst he seized the time destructor and activated it, using it as a shield to prevent the Daleks killing him. Sara disobeyed and came back to aid him as he tried to retreat back to his TARDIS, now struggling with the accleration of time caused by the time destructor. Sara herself succumbed to the effects, ageing to death in moments, as the jungle around them withered. The Doctor finally collapsed outside the TARDIS and was helped to safety by Steven. From within the ship they watched as the destructor continued to devastate Kembel, killing the Daleks frantically trying to destroy it and reducing the landscape to a wasteland. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'') The Dalek invasion fleet was destroyed. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Mutation of Time (novelisation)|The Mutation of Time]]'') Finally the destructor destroyed itself, enabling the Doctor and Steven to exit the ship and survey the devastation, noting their struggle was finally at an end, at a terrible cost.

On Earth, Marc Corey's message was discovered among Bret Vyon's possessions, exposing the treachery of Chen and Karlton. Karlton was arrested whilst SSS agents made their way to Kembel in pursuit of Chen, though only found a lifeless planet. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Mutation of Time (novelisation)|The Mutation of Time]]'') The exposure of the Daleks' plot triggered the [[Great War (The Evil of the Daleks)|Great War]].
