The Prophecy in Full: The Return of the Time Lords

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters...well I do own the kids...you'll see.

Note: What if a mysterious Time Lady arrived and changed The Doctor's fate, that he didn't die and regenerate? AU

They say Time Lords are the stuff of legends…the untouched gods who control time but no one ever truly knew that the Time Lords themselves brought about their own destruction.

Only two Time Lords escaped the war, one with so much evil that nothing could be done to save him and he was The Master. The other, the righteous and protective Time Lord, did everything to protect the universe…making sure things stayed healthy like his name suggested, he was The Doctor.

With The Master dead, The Doctor was the only remaining Time Lord or so the universe thought. While he bid his friends a final goodbye and saw the love of his life for a fine time before dying, in another universe, two Time Lords were already setting out on a journey…could they save him?

Could the man who did everything to protect the universe be saved by two unknown Time Lords?

EARTH, ENGLAND, POWELL ESTATES; JANUARY 01, 2005, 12:05 AM

The Doctor looked at Ood Sigma as he eyed the Time Lord; the pain was present as everything occurred. "I'm not ready."

"This song is ending but the story never ends."

"Doctor!"

The Doctor turned at the voice of Rose, it wasn't the Rose he had just spoken with…she was different. She ran to him and bent down before looking at the Ood.

"He will live, death is not welcome here."

"You are correct Bad Wolf," Ood Sigma eyed them both, "however the life he knows is dying and new one begins…the Time Lords have returned…just as the prophecy speaks."

With that he disappeared and Rose smiled, "come on; let's get you to the TARDIS."

She helped him up and he looked at her, "how?"

"I'll tell you later," Rose turned and looked at the young girl that stood nearby. "Galla…get the med bay ready."

The girl ran out of sight and Rose started to walk, stopping when he felt a pain. "I can't…you can't be real."

He sank down and Rose smiled, she bent down and placed her hands on his head before closing her eyes. He could hear her voice in his mind, chanting in Gallifreyan…the healing chant, she was trying to heal him and stop the regeneration cycle.

The pain soon began to fall away and the energy in him was gone…she had stopped it, how was a question he needed answered. He listened; the doorway between his mind and hers was open.

He caught images of everything that had occurred before and after he had left her on the beach with his clone.

His clone had suffered…his single heart had not been able to keep him alive due to being half Time Lord. The hardest thing he saw was the fact that his clone had come face to face with a young girl upon returning with the Tylers…a girl of five, a girl who looked just like him.

He saw her; he saw Rose had changed during the pregnancy…the child had been half-Time Lord not a quarter so the child had to be his. She had gone to bed one night a human and woke up to be a Time Lady…the child had changed her early on in the long pregnancy of a year, the gestation of a Time Lord before the Looms.

To appear human, she had created her own Chameleon Arch…making her human for the fight, so not to alarm others but she had travelled as a Time Lady…helped Donna as a Time Lady. She had used the coral Donna had given them to grown a TARDIS…with accelerated growth it had taken a year.

Her voice brought him back, he eyed her and she smiled. "It's time to go…we can't stay here, my mum will be coming by soon." She stood and held her hand out, which he took as he stood, noting no pain was present.

"I have so much…"

"To ask…I know, I can read your mind." She smiled and looked at him, "it's a long story but you already know most of it…you saw it in my mind."

"You have your own TARDIS?"

"Had, it's in your TARDIS now…in the storage closet…it's where I landed her." She laughed, "a TARDIS inside a TARDIS."

"Why leave…"

"I don't belong there and neither does Galla, your clone died within days of returning and I figured I had to find you so I waited a year before traveling through the void…which wasn't has hard if you knew how to manipulate it just right. I followed the TARDIS and I followed you to the Ood. He told me my name…Bad Wolf and told me of everything so I came here."

"Galla?" They had finally reached the TARDIS; Rose eyed him with a smile. "Why the name Galla…it's so…" Rose chuckled, "what?"

"Her formal name is Gallifreyantiana, daughter of the House of Lungborrow, daughter of the Doctor, child of Gallifrey." Rose smiled, "but her human name is Gallifreya Bryonie Tyler, but I call her Galla."

"Galla sounds a bit better."

"Yeah it does," he eyed her as she looked at him, "we can travel forever now…explore the universe…no death, just life." Rose tilted her head, "if you want us."

He eyed her but then looked at the child in the doorway to the TARDIS, her brown hair was long and her big brown eyes shined at him. Unlike Jenny, Galla showed no resemblance to the children he had lost in the war. They had all been blond and had either blue or green eyes but this little girl…except for the hair, she was all her mother.

Bending down, The Doctor eyed his child, remembering when she had been conceived…right after they had been stuck on the edge of a black hole. After reuniting with Rose, he had kissed her and eventually it lead to an intimate night he would never forget…now he never would.

"Grumile?" The Doctor looked at Galla as she spoke and said the word 'parent' in Gallifreyan, she was asking him if he was her father.

"Oh yes, very much yes." He held his arms out and the six year old flung her arms around him, her age should be only be four but the other world had given her a few extra years. Standing, he looked at the child in his arms, her brown eyes mirrored his own. "Hello Galla."

"Hello…Father." She hugged him and smiled, whispering to him in the ear. "I've dreamed of you since I was an infant."

"She has." The Doctor eyed Rose, she pointed to her ear. "Sensitive hearing now…it'll take a while for you to get use to it…thankfully my parents never knew. I'd never hear the end of it; I'm surprised my mother didn't slap you for getting me pregnant when she had the chance."

"Saving the worlds…top priority, besides she has after all helped raise this little Time Lady."

"Can we go somewhere now…Mummy has been searching for you since we left but I want to travel and run?"

The Doctor looked at Rose and she smiled, holding out her hand. The Doctor took it and they both walked into the TARDIS.
