A/N: The Master took over my mind. Hope you like it.


The Master doesn't care.

Simple as that.

Well, not that simple.

He doesn't care what happens to everything else.

He, mind and body, are very important. He's very attached to this regeneration.

So when he sees The Doctor ( smug idiotic bastard ) hovering about his spaceship, glowing like some out outer spaced Jesus with his arms outstretched in what the Master can only assume is a kind gesture ( spiky haired dork probably wants a hug ) his first thought is that rude human saying of, " What the fuck? " - because really, what the hell is going on? He's seen some weird stuff in his day, in fact he's been weird stuff - but this. This is just wrong and let's face it, not bloody fair. Here he is, trying to be blissfully insane, when the Doctor in all his annoying glory comes floating in like he owns the universe.

Which the Master would like to note, he doesn't. - So he can just go bugger off and be annoying some where else.

You'd think after playing this game, the Doctor would give him one. (You know, just for kicks.) - But noooo, can't let have the Master have any fun. Oh sure, he was going to probably destroy time and break the Tardis and blah blah blaaaah.

Not like the universe isn't fallen apart on it's own anyways.

Maybe that's what the Doctor doesn't get, that with or without him, the universe vanishes. That even the stars that he hopefully ( or dumbly, the master can't decide on which ) stares up are just dead echos of what used to be there. The cities, empires, and government all crumble eventually. That soon every race will either kill the other one out or combined, and then be lost forever.

There's no way to stop it, it's just how time works.

- but in the collapse of everything, eventually it all starts up again, magically or otherwise; and that's just how it goes. The Universe is just a child playing with blocks. Building it up and knocking it down, no matter how beautiful and amazing the design.

The Master finds it all relatively annoying ( like the Doctor ). He doesn't like not having control, doesn't like the endlessness of it all. Tired of playing against someone he can't win. - So instead of waiting, trying to stop it, he forces it. He takes those damn blocks and he crushes them before the universe can even blink. Kicks them over, throwing the pieces of existence about so it takes the universe all that much longer to put it together again, and even longer still to knock it down.

Not that he cares.

He's got more important things to worry about, like the glowing blue bean pole with spiky hair and woeful doe eyes currently trying to hug him. Really, this is just too much. Frankly at this point he doesn't even care, because even if the Doctor wins this round, even if he's thrown in some dark corner of the Tardis and kept like a pet, even if he's shot, it's not going to stop anything. It may slow him down a bit but he is going to come back in some way or another.

That's just how this game is played.
