Having the responsibility of someone is not always fun and sometimes a person could be a burden. To the Doctor, the Master was both. One would not say a burden, but every time he would turn up to the Doctor, the Master always had some plan to ruin the universe and beat the Doctor fair and square. During the End of Time, the Doctor had a choice to either kill the Doctor or kill Rassilon and he chose to kill Rassilon sparing the Master's life. Unfortunately, when the other time lords disappeared, the Master went with them, showing that he is basically dead.
It was a dark and stormy night and the Doctor, Amy, and Rory had just departed from that world where the Doctor changed the life of Kazran and lost the top half of his sonic screwdriver. The Doctor was feeling happy that he did good and he was happy that his friends were safe. The Doctor knows that one day he will need to let his two companions go and live their own lives, but he does not want it to end. The Doctor lands that TARDIS somewhere in London.
FROM THE DOCTOR'S POINT OF VIEW
I had a fun time with Kazran for Christmas; rewriting someone's life is fun, but I know I will regret it someday because messing with time is not a great idea to begin with. It seemed like Amy and Rory had a fun time on that ship because when they came into the TARDIS, they seemed exhausted and I understand because they were aboard a ship that was almost going to crash! I too was exhausted; jumping from different times can be very tiring. I finally landed the TARDIS and I walked to out the door, I figured I could let the couple sleep. I walked out and I took a walk. I like walks because they could be very peaceful at times. I walking in a park thinking about something's when all of a sudden the rift opened and a man came out who looked really familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. He walked out of the rift and glanced at my, then he walked away. I decided to keep walking and I just walked back to the TARDIS.
THREE DAYS PRIOR
Amy, Rory and I were taking a break from all the fun adventures we went on. We were getting tired and often, we did not get enough sleep, especially me. We were walking along the streets where Big Ben and the building where Parliament often governed lay. We were having a nice walk when I heard a drumbeat and another sign that brought back part of my past and brought back memories of someone who I used to know. I know something terrible is going to happen and now I am curious what it is.
PRESENT DAY
Today is one of those day's that I'll never forget. Today is the day when my dear friend, The Master, is "reborn" on accident. It all started when I first heard the drumbeats in my head the other day. It went on and on with the rhythm 1, 2, 3, 4…1, 2, 3, 4 …. I had a feeling that something horrible was going to happen and I was right. Today started when I got a call from Captain Jack Harkness [who was one of my dear friends in my last generation] who sounded like he was in a panic. At first, he tried to explain the reason for his panicky voice, but I was not listening.
"Hello." I said as I answered the TARDIS phone.
"Doctor?" Jack said. "Is that you?"
"Yes, this is the Doctor" I said.
As I said this, I was also trying to find in the back of my mind whose voice this was. After a while, I got to it!
"Captain Jack Harkness, I said in happy voice.
"Nice hearing your voice."
"Did you regenerate?" Jack asked.
"Yes, I was alone, it was a terrible day." I said.
There was an awkward silence for what I thought was a two minutes then Jack finally said:
"Um… Doctor, there is something I have to tell you."
"What?" I said hearing the sound of panic in Jack's voice.
"Something came through the rift I think it someone we know. I heard drumbeats!" Jack said.
It finally came to me who it was that came through the rift.
"The Master" I finally said. "He must have escaped Galifrey."
"The Master? Jack said. "Are you sure?"
I tried analyzing it and putting it together in my head. I thought the Master died with the rest of the time lords.
"That could be the only explanation." I said.
"What do you mean the only explanation?" Jack asked confused.
I tried to explain it to him.
"I think I saw him in the park while I was walking, a guy walked through the rift and he looked vaguely familiar." I explained.
There was another silence.
"Why were you taking a walk?" Jack asked.
"There peaceful, that's not the point." I said knowing Jack only heard that part.
"I know… do you think it's a resurrection of some sort?" Jack asked.
"Maybe or maybe he was preserved in the rift or in Galifrey." I said.
My brain began to have so many ideas of what to do and my mind was going bonkers. I knew I was nervous because my mind and my head would hurt.
"We need to find him before he causes anymore trouble." Jack responded.
"I know, but there is no need to go looking for him, we know he will go looking for us." I said.
"As you say so Doctor." Jack said.
Then he hung up. After I put the phone down, I felt a presence behind me, it felt very weird at first, but then I knew who it was.
"Who is the Master?" Rory asked.
"No one." I said trying to get away from the subject.
"I didn't sound like no one." Amy uttered.
"Are we in danger, Doctor?"
"No, you two are not in danger, I would never let anything happen to you guys. I said.
"Then who is the Master." Rory asked.
"A dear old friend." I said.
I knew I had to tell them both about the Master, but right at that moment, I was not ready to tell them about him. The Master was memory that I would now have to relive and I was not looking forward to it.
