Part 5

Hostile and menacing though the spiky aliens were, they were no match for Torchwood’s firepower and marksmanship; their seemingly unstoppable advance was met with a hail of bullets. The first few shots merely splintered spines, but as their armour was obliterated, the balls slowed, stopped, and finally exploded, sending spines in every direction like shrapnel, along with all the litter they’d collected. Five people dived for cover behind the SUV.

When it was safe to emerge, they surveyed a scene of utter devastation.

“Looks like we’ve got some cleaning up to do,” Jack sighed.

“Balls!” Ianto said succinctly.

Everyone agreed.

The End

They may have looked menacing, but they were no match for Torchwood's firepower. Good thing no one was hurt from all that shrapnel.

True! But now Torchwood have got to gather all the bits. And all the litter the spiky balls collected too!

Thank you!

Come on, poor TW team! after all the running, they have to clean too!!
Evil writer's imagination ;)

[bk_forever]

There's always clean-up to be done when they kill something. Can't just leave it lying around.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Noooooooooo - I wanted Ianto to come up with a cool name for litter-collecting-spiky-balls !

[bk_forever]

Maybe they have some smaller cousins who aren't bent on murder, lol! You never know with Torchwood.

Thank you, sorry you were disappointed.

For once, balls that Neither Jack nor Ianto want anything to do with. At least the whole team can help with the clean up, not leave it all to Ianto

[bk_forever]

Not all balls are fun!

Yeah, they all have to help because the SUV isn't going anywhere until all the spiny bits are collected. To much risk of a flat tyre or four!

Thank you!
