Well, I'M stoked...

"Almost every species in the universe has an irrational fear of the dark," muses the Doctor as he sweeps a torch through the darkened library, Donna at his side. "But they're wrong. Because it's not irrational."

Wilfred Mott looks at the night sky in horror. "They're going out... oh my god... the stars are going out!"

And they are.

A familiar blonde with a big, big gun strides through the ruins of a street as explosions go off.

"Rose is coming back. No matter what's happening, isn't that good?" asks Donna by the TARDIS console.

The Doctor looks up. Meets her gaze. And then a giddy expression crosses his face. "Yeah," he gasps.

"The real world is a lie," says the black man in spectacles. "And your nightmares are real."

"Not everyone comes back out of the dark," the Doctor tells Donna as they run through the library, slamming doors as skeletons in gleaming white spacesuits emerge from the shadows, firing blue rays.

"It's coming for me!" screams a helpless some as a spacecraft is buffeted out of control.

"Stay in the light!" the Doctor shouts.

"Stop it! Why are you doing this?!" wails Donna, in a suburban park.

"Don't you play games with me," the Doctor snarls. "We're going to get out of here, I promise!"

Daleks. Lots of Daleks. Aboard the Valiant. And in control.

Rose Tyler looks upwards, unfazed. "Right. Now we're in trouble."

The TARDIS is ablaze.

"And it's only just beginning," concludes Rose.

In the heart of the Dalek stronghold, there is something new. Something like a Dalek, but from the midsection upwards is lost in darkness, bar a spot of blue light at the top.

"It's coming, Donna," says Rose quietly. "It's coming from across the stars. And nothing can stop it."

"What is?" demands Donna, finally losing her patience.

Rose looks at her, scared stiff. "The darkness..."
