Chapter 1

The Doctor sat in the chair in the console room of the TARDIS, Amy and Rory were sleeping. Bunk beds he thought to himself sometimes humans don't understand the fun in bunk beds or my sense of humor. The TARDIS beeped and gurgled.

"Well I know you do dear," said the Doctor, "We are psychically connected you know. At least there's a short break from our usual crashing and exploding and whatnot."

Just then the TARDIS lurched forward and all the whirring sounds and lights ceased as everything went to black inside the wondrous machine. "Well it seems like I spoke too soon," said the Doctor.

"Uggh" came a groan as a not to pleasant Rory Williams entered the console room, soon followed by his wife. "Doctor stopping short and sleeping in bunk beds don't really work well."

The Doctor managed to suppress a chuckle, but Amy wasn't able to. She cautiously bit her lip to calm herself down before asking, "Well why have we stopped and why is everything turned off?"

"That's actually a really good question Pond. It's probably some kind of wonky thing with some stuff that has gone horribly wrong that will put us all in danger when I tried to fix it," responded the Doctor.

"Oh so it's Tuesday," Amy said.

"Amelia Pond, how many times do I have to tell you that we're in a time machine? It's not Tuesday, it's not any day in here," responded the Doctor.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your crucial debate over the days of the week," said Rory, "But why don't you look over there."

The Doctor and Amy turned towards the direction that Rory was pointing. At the top of the stairs, glowing particles of yellow dust seemed to swarm through the air making a rough circle shape.

"Well that is interesting!" exclaimed the Doctor as he began to scan the anomaly with his sonic screwdriver. "Apparently it's TARDIS energy which is odd since I haven't seen it manifest itself like this since Rose." The Doctor paused, and began to think.

Suddenly the particles of TARDIS energized dust solidified into a ring. The Doctor shouted, "Everyone get back, something is coming through, something powerful because nothing should be able to get to this place. Nothing in our Universe should be able to do this."

"Already on it Doctor," called Rory from the doorway to the console room where he was standing protectively in front of his wife.

At that moment a boot began to materialize through what was apparently a portal. The boot was followed by the rest of a tall man. He appeared to be in his late fifties, he was wearing a grey beanie and a tattered ashen military uniform. Grey stubble and soot marked his face as did faint scars that seemed as if they were won in battle. As the man fully appeared inside the TARDIS, the portal behind him began to close and the TARDIS began to regain power.

"Not to be rude, but who are you?" the Doctor shouted up to their visitor. The man said nothing, but his cold eyes looked at the Doctor with contempt and envy. The Doctor shouted again as the man grew closer, "I don't like soldiers and you look like a soldier to me, tell me how you got on my TARDIS?"

The man laughed a low hollow laugh that seemed forced as he continued to walk closer to the Doctor. As he walked he said slowly, "I forgot you were the soldier who turned his back on all other soldiers. You abandoned us and gave us false hope for a future we could never see."

"Who are you?" the Doctor said angrily.

The man laughed his forced laugh yet again before saying, "Isn't it obvious Doctor, I've aged. I've fought battles even you wouldn't believe and I did it without a TARDIS and without a sonic screwdriver," the man paused and removed his grey hat.

Atop his head was hair that was unmistakable. It was a brown mop of hair that was peppered with grey, and it was very unruly.

"No it can't be you," said the Doctor.

Amy who had taken the imitative to step out from behind her husband asked in a hushed tone, "Doctor who is he?"

"Another companion," said the elder man and he then notice Rory, "Ah I see you keep two with you now."

"Yes. I do," responded the Doctor drearily.

"As to who I am," the battle hardened soldier continued, "I am one of the last resistance fighters of Earth. Doctor you see we had no chance in my universe. You had interfered; we had interfered with the Cybus Cybermen. We drew unneeded attention to Earth. Soon we had minor problems with the Nestene Consciousness and the Gelth, but soon enough the Daleks arrived. Doctor I had to watch my world burn around me for the second time, and this time there was nothing I could do about it. I couldn't risk my life the ways I had before because I was mortal. It's your fault I exist and I am here to collect on my debt."

"But what about Rose," said the Doctor, "She must have been worth it?"

"Doctor I loved her with all my being and in time she saw that, but she always saw me as a shadow. I was never the mad man she fell in love with," he paused as tears began to form in his eyes, "She was killed in an attack by a Dalek raiding party a few hours ago, but her connection to the TARDIS didn't die. The Bad Wolf has brought me home Doctor, and I intend to embrace my destiny as a Time Lord once again."

Unlike my other stories this will be the only chapter with an author's note. This story was written on Dec. 12 2011 in its entirety; to be honest I didn't even mean to write this story at all. I meant to write some chapters for my other stories, but I had an idea and I couldn't let it slip away. Anyway Read, Enjoy, and Review. Now Allons-y!
