The world was in chaos, buildings in ruins and fires raged. Screams of the living and long dead were carried by the never ending winds of time. Smoke and grime stagnated the air, making breathing almost impossible. This was the last stand, The Fall of Arcadia, The Last Day of the Time War. But no one knew this at the time.
At the heart of the battle was a man, whom looked to be around 40. Fighting hard to protect his home. He quickly ducks under cover and runs into one of the still standing buildings. He looked around, his breathes uneven and fast.
"Guardian." He hears a voice from behind him. He quickly turns. Pointing his gun. Before noticing who it is.
"Doctor! What are you doing here" The Guardian questions between breaths.
"Today is the final day" He states looking straight into The Guardian's eyes. "Today this war will end. As your friend, I advise that you leave now."
"What? How can it be over? How's it gonna end?"
The Doctor looks him dead in the eye, his gaze filled with sorrow and grief. Before speaking one final word "Me."
A sudden explosion from behind forces The Guardian to quickly turn. He looks back toward The Doctor. To see he has gone.
The Guardian stealthily makes his way to an old warehouse, which has yet to be destroyed. Inside is a silver capsule. This is his ship. A Type 60 TARDIS.
Suddenly, a sound draws his attention away from his ship and to the entrance. Just as one of the most deadly creatures in the universe wheels in. The sole reason this war even began. The Daleks.
The Guardian froze. The Dalek's eye stalk slowly turns. Before it's sight falls on The Guardian.
"EXTERMINATE!" It shouts in its monotone voice. Shooting at The Guardian.
The Guardian shouts in pain. His hand flying to the Tardis to support himself. He quickly fumbles to open the door, staggering in.
He pulls himself up the short stairs onto the glass floor. Making his way around the console. Slowly pressing buttons. Before finally pulling one last lever. The room is engulfed in the sound of the ships engines as it begins its flight. Just as The Guardian falls to the ground. The pain now unbearable.
His face scrunches up in pain. Knowing what is about to happen.
"I have lived a life. One filled with pain and death" He releases a breath "But that life is over now. I just hope next time's a little better'"
His face and hands begin to glo…
The Guardian gasps, sweat pouring down his head. He slowly looks around, seeing that he is standing alone in the Tardis. The room is silent. He closes his eyes, releasing a slow breath. Trying to push away the traumatic memories.
He had regenerated that day. Into the man he is now.
The Guardian looked to be around 24. He wasn't too tall, around 5'9. His skin was tanned and his hair was short, brown and brushed over to the side.
He now wore a royal blue suit with black lapel, with trousers the same colour. His trainers were grey and he wore a dark blue waistcoat with black bowtie. He also wore a dark grey military trench coat.
With those dark memories locked away. He looked at his silver watch. Seeing the time, he plasters a smile on his face. Realizing that he has a meeting with his new 'student'. A child prodigy, whom he believes should get more attention than he does, called Rafael Esquivel.
He has become Raf's personal teacher about a year ago and they had become very close friends. Today they were meeting under a motorway in the heart of Jasper, Nevada. The reason for this is so that they could test some recent modifications they had made to Raf's toy car.
The Guardian's smile got much larger, recalling the time they had made those modifications (Which resulted in 1… or maybe 12 mini explosions).
He opened the door of the Tardis, which was currently disguised as a red telephone booth, Outside was humid and the sun was blazing across the otherwise empty desert.
Closing the door behind him. He began to make his way to the meeting point.
Not knowing that this seemingly normal day, would change the course of his 2400 year old life.
A/N
Well there you go. The first chapter of Guardian. I had this idea for quite some time and have only just had the chance to write it.
Please remember that I am very new to Fanfiction (Well, writing them anyway). I would really appreciate if you left some reviews and criticisms as they will help me improve.
