I do not own Doctor Who or any of its characters

Part 2 of Now There are Three, set around the End of Time episode

This chapter recaps the events so far and what's happened since

Chapter 1 – Recap of Events

I' am the Rani, a Time Lady from the planet of Gallifrey. I' am one of only three survivors of the Time War where the Daleks and the Timelords fought each other for mastery of all of time and space

Seeing no end to the war and desperate for an end to all the fighting, the High Council overthrew President Romana and installed the dictator and madman Rassilon upon the Timelord throne. He then began to plan for the Ultimate Sanction where all of reality would be destroyed to allow the Timelords to ascend into beings of pure consciousness. But a group of Timelords including myself and the legend known as the Doctor prepared a plan to seal the war and all those in it within a time lock to keep the hell the war had become from the rest of the universe. At the final battle we put the plan into motion and although it was successful many of the members of our rebel group were trapped inside the lock. Only three time lords escaped the war and none of us knew any of the others survived.

Eventually we all came together when the Master used a Paradox Machine to pervert the course of history and the twisted human race now known as the Toclafane to conquer the Earth. He kept the Doctor like a bird in a cage and put me to work on resurrecting the TimeLord race. I succeeded in creating two hundred Timelord infants from collected DNA samples and a formula to change a human into one of us. The first human to undergo this procedure was a young woman named Sally Sparrow and despite it being painful it worked and she became the first new Time lady since the war. After that Lucy Saxon, a puppet of the Master that he made his wife was used to expand our numbers again, I broke his hold over her and turned her to our side, so three became five with two hundred more on the way.

But the Master's rule was short lived as the combined efforts of myself, the Doctor and the entire human race overthrew him but before he was killed he mortally wounded Martha Jones, the Doctor's companion and love of his life. But thankfully the formula I invented saved her life and made her a Time Lady as well.

When our Tardises were repaired we went our separate ways; Sally, Lucy and I along with Miles a human I had befriended stayed on Earth to take care of the infants and work alongside UNIT to protect the Earth while the Doctor and Martha left to travel in space and time. Occasionally I and my small team went on short trips, on one of these trips we discovered another Time Lady who had missed the war, my and the Doctor's granddaughter Susan. After she joined us we took several more trips before returning to Earth. We recovered the Master's Tardis from the end of the universe and the abused machine quickly bonded to Susan allowing her to travel herself but she chose to stay on Earth, making short trips to get things for me if I needed anything.

It was on one of these trips that Miles had a little bit of an accident, well little is a big understatement

He and Susan went to the year 354,988 planet Kota Prime to retrieve a few crystals I needed for some equipment I was building. Once there they encountered a swarm of advanced nanogenes that had yet to be programmed. They scanned Susan and decided her physiology to be the norm, so they went about 'fixing' Miles, turning him into an almost identical copy of Susan. Susan deactivated the nanogenes before anyone else could be 'fixed' but the damage was done. The nanos didn't keep a copy of Miles's original genetic makeup so he was stuck as a teenage time lady. The adjustment was hard but eventually he learned to deal with it and eventually renamed himself Melody after his/her maternal grandmother

I soon took on a new pupil on top of the ones I already had when the Doctor dropped Jenny (his cloned daughter) off with me, told her he thought I could teach her better than he could about what she was. Jenny was despondent at not getting to travel so I left Susan in charge for a while and took Jenny on a holiday around the galaxy for a few months, it made her feel better

The Doctor and Martha were joined in the his Tardis by a delightful woman named Donna Noble and shortly after returning to Earth to deal with a Sontaran Invasion that UNIT called them in for as they still had their doubts about me they were married in a big ceremony organised by Francine Jones. Trisha Jones acted as Maid of Honor and Jack Harkness as Best Man, near all of the former companions of the Doctor were in attendance (some brought by Susan and Myself from all over time and space), as were Jack's Torchwood staff (I hid myself under a perception filter so to not be seen by my human clone), Sarah Jane and her children, UNIT Personnel both past and present and many others from all over Earth and the Cosmos. The Galactic News Service called it the biggest wedding in history

The newly weds slipped away to have their honeymoon on the planet Florana while I took Donna and her grandfather Wilf to see the time babies that were finally ready to be born. It was breathtaking to see them all come to life and take their first breath, to hear them cry out and smile. I'd modified the pods to accelerate their ages to about two years of age and download into the young minds basic reading and writing skills to get them started.

Eventually the Earth was stolen by the Daleks and their creator Davros, I hid the time children as they were now deemed and my team under a stealth device and took my Tardis to try and deal with the metal monsters. I then became embroiled in the Doctor's network (after he showed up rather late) and hid near the artificial planet the Daleks had created as a base.

As I listened to their plan to use a Reality Bomb to destroy everything that ever was and whatever may be my horror grew as did the Doctor's. After transmatting aboard I was captured trying to sabotage the bomb and hauled down to the cellar where Davros remained a prisoner to his own creations. I slivered as I was led there, back in my experimentation days I created some truly horrific things and they turned on me but I had learned what lines should never be crossed but Davros was so lost in his madness he either failed to see what his creatures were or simply didn't care.

But then when all the plots had failed and all hope seemed lost, Donna Noble saved the day by using the Doctor's mind that she'd absorbed to defeat the Daleks and save the universe. We all escaped and worked together to tow the Earth back into place with some help from my own Tardis. As Rose Tyler and the Metacrisis Doctor were left in another universe I slipped them both a vial of my timelord formula each and told them to start up the Timelords in their universe. After I watched as Donna struggled to hold on as the Doctor's mind began to overwhelm her wishing I could help, but even if I gave her the serum it wouldn't work fast enough to save her so the Doctor purged her memories and left her at home.

Martha and I had to work hard to help him after that but eventually he did start to find some joy in life again when Martha told him she was pregnant. Jenny was over the moon about having a brother or sister but Susan felt a bit strange all over again having an Aunt that was younger than you and now maybe having another aunt or even an uncle that was baby felt a little daunting. The Doctor's new companion Christina soon came after Martha convinced the Doctor to let her on board, the adrenaline junkie fitted the Doctor's lifestyle perfectly although he did start to tone it down after Martha told him she was having his child.

Soon the Doctor discovered a way to change history without really changing it, a Mars Base in the mid twentieth first century tested the Doctor as never before when he had to fight the Flood a water based creature that took humans as hosts. He wanted to save them but couldn't take them home as their deaths were so important to history, so what he did was take the two remaining survivors to me after Adelaide Brook killed herself rather than risk the future the Doctor had imparted to her. He told me to keep an eye on them. We got into a heated row about I wasn't running a boarding house and I wasn't going to solve his problems but I took the shell shocked humans in and put them to work, eventually giving them the serum as they earned my trust

After that the Doctor returned to Earth to spend Christmas with Martha's family and my own group, but the Doctor and I were about to launch ourselves on to a mission that I had been planning since the sealing of the time lock on the war

A mission to hell...

I decided to write sequel rather than try to continue the existing story as this is more interesting
