Sworn Enemies

Chapter 1-

The Master tried not to regenerate but could not stop it. When the Doctor screamed the master was still alive but only by a, fraction. He didn't

really want to die and he decided to regenerate, this meant that the Doctor had to keep him under control. The Doctor stared at the dead man

in his arms and couldn't believe what had just happened. The scream was still stuck in his throat and his whole body was shaking. "Don't you

dare leave me alone! I can't be the last Time Lord! Wake up!"He cried desperately. The Master gasped and his hand glowed he quickly screamed

"No! I can't lose!" The Doctor held the Master tight to his chest, his jaw tight and his breath a little ragged, with a smile he said. "Yes! Yes!

Regenerate!" The Master could feel the power of the regeneration "NO!" As much as he didn't want this to happen he couldn't stop it, his hands

shot out as he regenerated. The Doctor quickly moved away from the Master when the regeneration started and watched. "Yes! Do it… for

me!" The Doctor said with a maniac expression. The Master screamed as he regenerated. "Why would I do that?" The Doctor gritted his teeth

and tried to shade his eyes with his hands against the bright light of the regeneration and said. "You know it can't end like this! Our story is far

from being over! There's still so much we haven't seen…So many places I could take you!" The Masters regeneration worked and he fell to the

floor. "NO!" He yelled grabbing his head, for some reason his body did not change but that was the least of the Masters problems. The Doctor

quickly grabbed his sonic screwdriver and scanned the guy in front of him. "Two strong heartbeats" The Doctor gave a sigh of relief. The Master

lay on the floor holding his head then mumbled something to himself. "Why did I let this happen?" The Doctor reached into his pocket and pulled

a small device from it, like a small CD. He pressed a button on its side and threw it at the Master. "Catch!" He said with a smile. The Master

caught it. "What is this Doctor?" He said while he held it. The drum-beat still annoyed him. The device clicked and faster than the eye could

follow, transformed themselves into shackles, binding the Masters hands together. "Well can't have you try another one of your tricks on us, can

I?" The Doctor smirked and stepped up to the handsome man. The Master sighed and replied "Prisoner once again I guess." He pulled his hands

to his head, "Doctor, you have no idea how much pain I have to go though" The Doctor now stood right before The Master, towering over him,

the hem of his coat brushing the Masters knees. Slowly he crouched himself down until his face was level with the Master's. "Can you still hear

the drums Master?" he gently laid his hand on the Masters cheek, his forefinger stroking at the jaw line softly. The Master stared at him and

pushed him away "what do you think!" He stood up, he was shaking slightly. "They will never stop Doctor, never ever will they stop!" He says, the

desperation in his voice making it clear he was not joking. The Doctor gave the bewildered young man in front of him some space then said.

"well you know I have a theory about that noise you're hearing but I reckon you won't like it." The Master sighed and held his head. " I have

learned to live with it but what's your theory?" The Doctor Continued. "Did you ever hold a stethoscope to your own chest? Two hearts – two

heartbeats. Ba-Da, Ba-Dam" He thrummed his fingers against the wall to the tune. "maybe, just maybe you really are mad because of staring into

the Untempered Schism when you were a kid." The Master glared at the Doctor and then said. "You've got to be kidding me, hey Doctor, Knock

Knock!" a little smile came to his lips. The Doctor rolled his eyes. "Really? Ah, If you must… Who's there?" The Master had a sly smile on his face,

his eyes filled with pure evil. "Knock, Knock" He looked at the Doctor and thought go on, say it Doctor, say who's there, just one more time.

Tiny Alarm bells rang in the Doctors mind, He didn't let the master out of his eyes and reached one hand into his pocket closing him fingers

around the Sonic Screwdriver. "Who's there?" The Master laughed and smirked. "I knocked 4 times Doctor!" he continued laughing at his insaneness. "4 times

means your death!"
