Part 4: The shadows of the Angels

All three of them walked out of the elevator into a dimly-lit room with technical equipment sitting in different areas of the room.
“Where are we?” Landon asked.
The Doctor scanned one of the computer screens as Clara walked over to a computer with a flickering image of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
“Doctor, in the laboratory, the computer screen displayed an image of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and this screen is doing the same thing. Why are both of them displaying it?”
The image appeared on the Doctor’s computer screen. Landon walked closer to where the Doctor stood.
“When the computers are woken up from their sleep mode, they’re programmed to display an image of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Landon turned around to see the shadow of a weeping angel on a wall in the room.
“Doctor…” Landon began.
“Just a moment,” the Doctor interrupted.
“Is the photo of the tower supposed to be a screen saver?” Clara wondered.
“No, it can’t be,” the Doctor answered.
Landon watched the Doctor switching computer tabs with the sonic screwdriver. The computer stops when the tab shows the voice interface screen.
“Hello, thank you for using voice interface,” the voice said. “How may I help you?”
“No, I don’t want voice interface,” the Doctor said, trying to control the computer with the screwdriver.
“How may I help you?” the voice repeated.
“Come on!” the Doctor said.
Landon turned around to see the shadow of the weeping angel had moved further across the wall, closer to the three of them.
“Doctor, there is a weeping angel in this room,” Landon said.
The Doctor turned around.
“Where?” the Doctor asked.
“I’m not sure, but I can see its shadow on that wall,” Landon said, pointing to the shadow.
The Doctor slowly walked over to Landon’s side.
“If there’s a shadow, then where’s the angel?” the Doctor wondered.
Clara looked to the direction that the Doctor and Landon faced.
The Doctor scanned the area in front of him and Landon with the screwdriver.
“There’s another dimension right in front of us,” the Doctor said. “The angel is in front of us, but we can’t see it. The only thing we can see is its shadow on the wall. We need to find a way out of here as fast as possible.”
Clara turned around to face the direction of the elevator. Her face showed a surprised look.
“Doctor, the elevator is gone,” Clara said.
The Doctor and Clara stared at the spot where the elevator, now empty wall space stood.
“The elevator could just be disguised as a wall by another dimension.”
“What happens if we walk into another dimension?” Landon asked.
“I wouldn’t suggest trying it,” the Doctor answered. “Merging two dimensions is one thing, but entering a dimension is another thing. You may end up in a completely different location if you enter a dimension even though you think you’re entering another part of a room.”
“But what happens if I walk into it?”
“I don’t know, but I strongly suggest you don’t try it.”
Landon looked at the spot where the angel’s shadow was in surprise.
“Doctor, the shadow is no longer on the wall. It’s on the floor, but there’s another shadow right next to it,” Landon said.
The Doctor and Clara walked to Landon’s side. The Doctor stared at the two shadows in horror.
“Landon,” the Doctor began, “that is not another shadow. We need to get out of here NOW.”
“What is it?” Landon asked.
The Doctor rushed over to the spot where the empty wall was and used his screwdriver on the wall as he spoke.
“The vashta nerada. It will devour you within seconds if it comes into contact with you.”
Clara took a few steps closer to the Doctor.
The dimension next to the empty wall started to flicker to show something else on the wall.
Landon and Clara noticed the light flickering and tens of weeping angels began to appear in the location of the shadows.
“Doctor, I think we better get out of here!” Clara exclaimed.
The Doctor noticed the angels appearing he continued using his screwdriver on the wall.
“Keep looking at them!” the Doctor replied.
The flickering became more constant.
The angels moved toward Clara and Landon with rage on their faces as the light was going out.
“DOCTOR!” Landon and Clara exclaimed.
A door fully materialized on the wall.
“Got it!” the Doctor said.
All three of them ran into the room and the Doctor closed the door behind them. The Doctor locked the door with the screwdriver.

The three of them turned to examine the new room, but they were faced with 12 men in military uniform pointing pistols at them.
