A/N: This is set in the 18 months the Master was hiding on earth. It was knocked together in a sum total of 15 minutes and references a line in either the 'Sound of Drums or 'Last of the Timelords' which is the title of this fic.

War regarded the man in front of her, handsome and charismatic and currently Minister of defence, who would enhance her power greatly if his aspiration's were to be believed. She could see the fire of insanity in his mind and the power and drive that it gave him ambition and desire for Mastery of everything to match his brilliance. She had noted with interest the drumbeat in his mind. He had been almost euphoric when she told him she could hear it.
But yet there was one fly in the ointment according to the Master. The Doctor. She found him even more interesting, the man who gave his enemies one chance then destroyed them. Indeed her power would have reached critical levels if she had been able to feed off the time war. She sighed inwardly. Her domain was Earth, and about 100 000 miles around it. People regularly confused this with only feeding off humanity.
He interrupted her thoughts. "Well? Do we have an agreement? I give you strength by taking over and subjugating Earth, and you help me conquer first the Galaxy and then the universe."
This was the pinnacle of negotiations between her and the Master. It was very tempting, and technically, no one could stop her doing it. Not even HIM, with THE VOICE.
It was perfect. She smiled her most charming smile and said, "Yes. We have a deal Lord Master."
