As the Crew of the Phantom Cruiser and the Doctor's team were deep in conversation, no one knew that a number of space craft were heading in their location.
Inside the Tardis a light on the console had began to flicker and the View screen had now re-tuned itself to show the space craft approaching.
The Space Ghost had agreed to join the Doctor and become part of his team, however he also agreed that taking Jace and Jan with them would not be safe. The Doctor knew that the Twins were very capable at defending themselves, but taking children into a Theatre of War was not a sensible thing.
Both Phooey and Jack stood silent as the Twins received the sad news.
Space Ghost said that he would set the ships autopilot to take the Phantom Cruiser back to base, and the twins would stay their until he return. The Twins were disappointed not to take part in this mission, but knew that Space Ghost and the Doctor were right about the danger. Plus someone had to look after Blip.
Then the Doctor inquired what did the Tardis hit when the originally arrived in this location,,,, and what was Space Ghost shooting at ?
The Space Ghost opened his mouth and said " One of The Black Widow's Artificial Bomb Comets "
" Still having trouble with that Awful Woman, Thaddeus ?" The Doctor replied
But before Space Ghost could answer........ A Blast from one of the Space Craft hit the side of the Phantom Cruiser.
Then another and another blast was felt.
" Hull Breach !" shouted the Space Ghost as air started to leak out the of a hole that had been made by the blasts.
" Every one inside the Tardis " commanded the Doctor.
The Space Ghost pulled a few levers and punched some buttons, to try gain everyone more time. He sealed off the the front section that had developed the leak.
The two crews raced through the door of the Tardis as more and more shots rained down on the Phantom Cruiser. The Space Ghost was the last inside, and before the door closed he looked at his beloved Space Ship as yet another comet blasted through the hull.
Quickly shutting the internal doors the Doctor activated the time rota and the Tardis took off.
Onboard her Spider Shaped Flag Ship the Black Widow laughed.... " Good Bye Space Ghost "
And as she was about to order her minions to fire again, she heard a voice emanating out of one of the Ships speakers.
At last she had killed her nemesis ..... or had she ?
"Hello, Widow" Said the Voice... It was the Doctor. He had tapped into her communication network.
"Sorry to upset your plan, but I have someone who wants to speak with you !" The Doctor continued.
The smile drained from her face.
" Dear Black Widow, don't you know that you cannot kill a Ghost ? especially this One !" it was Space Ghost of course.
The Widow let out a scream that sounded like a cross between a howling wolf and an eagle in pain.
" I would suggest you stop firing and think about running away before I initiate the Phantom Cruiser to self destruct. And the Blast will more than likely destroy you and your Spider Bombers also " Space Ghost added
The Widow barked orders to her minions and the fleet of Spider Bomber Ships headed away at top speed.
Then Jace spoke " The Cruiser does not have a Self Destruct system ?"
" I know that, But the Black Widow doesn't " Laughed the Space Ghost
On the Tardis view screen everyone could see that the Phantom Cruiser was in a sad state. Jan was close to tears, and Blip was jumping up and down very upset too.
No way could the Twins return to it at the moment. On his belt Space Ghost activated a button. This both made the ruined vehicle fade from sight and also instruct the onboard computer to activate the self repair systems.
The Phantom Cruiser was now undetectable, and hopefully by the time her returned she would be as good as new.
"Well" Said the Doctor, "It looks like Jan, Jace and Blip will be coming along on this adventure after all " he continued.
Space Ghost nodded his approval, and Blip jumped up and down making every one laugh.
Where next for the Doctor...
Find out next time
But until then ENJOY !!!
