AN: If anyone enjoys this please leave a review:) I am curious about what readers think about my writing style. Also as a quick question, as I am new to fanfiction, can I make this a three story crossover? I had plans to add a few more characters into this mix:)
Rose and Radriar had waited 15 minutes when Radriar decided the doctor was not coming back. "Rose, we should leave. I knew this doctor was nothing but trouble. He has probably taken the secrets to the Worker already and more Daerils will be showing up in no time at all."
"Radriar trust me the doctor would never do that. He'll be back for us soon," Rose tried to explain, but Radriar would not hear it.
"I am the God King. I will not sit here in my dungeon and wait for some mad deathless to show up. Where did he even go?"
"I think he went to go get the TARDIS," Rose said, then noting the God Kings confusion at the word continued, "It's his space ship. It can fly anywhere. That's how we got here."
"The Worker has a space ship..."
"Radriar trust me the doctor is not working with this Worker."
Rose thought she heard Radriar give a sigh. "I told Ausar I would be fast. He will be wary of a trap when we get back."
"Ausar?" Rose inquired. "Who's that?"
"A scheming, evil man,"' Radriar said.
"Then why are you going to meet him?"
"He's not Ausar anymore. Mostly," Radriar explained. "A long time ago I faced him on the battlefield and emerged victorious. Most people think I slew him with the Infinity Blade, my weapon here," Radriar pulled the sword off his back. "All I really did was manipulate his QIP sequence. I wiped his memory, I made him forget all of the terrible things he did. But what was unknown to me was where his QIP would end up then. It bound itself to a child, a sacrificial child. Every year one man would take a walk through this tower here to face me at the top. The first few were pathetic, they barely could hoist their sword before I knocked it from their grip and ended their existence. But then I noticed these sacrifices kept getting stronger. It was like the skills passed over from one generation to the next. But when I realized it, I was too late. Ausar slew me in my tower and claimed the Infinity Blade. I didn't die however. The blade needed charge before it was activated, and all those times I slew Ausar did the trick. The final push to activation however was when he killed me the last time. Did you ever enter those rooms over there?" Radriar said, pointing over towards the three smaller doors. "Those were deathless. After Ausar charged the blade he came down here out of curiosity and found three minor deathless, which he made short work of. The final room there is a rebirthing chamber. It's been long deactivated but it exists."
Rose had been silent the whole time. She listened to his tale with a mix of horror and fascination. Both Radriar and this Ausar person had done awful things, and yet here Radriar was, talking about it like it was just life. Maybe it was his life. She really wished the doctor would hurry up with whatever he was doing...
The list of things that catch the doctor off guard are very small, and usually related to the Daleks. The doctor was not thinking when he had tampered with the teleport ring, because he took off the safety. The worker was still zeroed in on their position from the generator scenario, so as soon as he saw the doctor's ring show up he altered the destination coordinates to teleport the doctor right into the heart of his fortress. So added to the list of things that catch the doctor off guard is being face to face with a dragon.
The doctor looked up and stared right into the face of a great red dragon. "Um. Hello there," the doctor said. "Where am I?"
A laugh echoed around the hall. The dragon took off and landed higher up in the room. The hall the doctor had landed was a large ornate place with a staircase in the back and a throne in the front. There was another man clad entirely in armor there, surrounded by blue half circle screens which he was tapping and sliding around. These screens showed what looked almost like... blueprints?
"Who are you?" The man asked. "I can see you are deathless but I did not make you this way. Are you another soldier in that 'army' Radriar and Ausar are building? If so I pity you. You can't stop me you see."
"I'm the doctor. You're the worker I imagine. Right?" The doctor said with a serious look on his face. He sensed something was not right here.
"The doctor?" The worker laughed. "There have not been doctors on this planet for thousands of years." His laughter stopped. "What planet are you from?"
"Gallifrey," The doctor said. "I'm not one of your 'deathless', I'm a time lord. we are made this was by the time vortex. It holds our QIP but can also completely remake our bodies if need be. How did you make human QIP hold? They're too emotional for the QIP to hold for good. Isn't there any degeneration of the conscious when one is reborn too many times?"
The worker had stopped working on the screens and slid them all to the sides. He walked down the steps until he came face to face with the doctor. "How do you know there's not degeneration of us too, doctor?"
"I knew it," The doctor said. "Why did you do this worker?"
"I don't remember, doctor. From what I can gather from my research I was experimenting on my QIP to make my body immortal but I couldn't strengthen the cells enough, so I cloned myself and created the rebirth chambers. However it was imperfect and the very first time I was reborn my QIP ripped in half. I am not even time lord anymore, I am half human and half time lord, but I can still do all that time lords can do."
The doctor's face hardened. "There were rules to prevent things like this, worker. I can help you."
"I don't want your help, doctor. I have everything I need here. This is my earth after all. I can do anything I like to it. These humans don't understand what I am capable of. I am going to destroy his planet and let it be reborn again. This age is ending."
"Yes it is worker, and so is your reign. I can't let you kill these people again."
"Oh but doctor these aren't people. You asked how I stabilized their QIP. During the process of becoming deathless, I implant a tiny portion of my DNA into them." The doctor's eye's widened. "Yes doctor. I turned every person here into a human/time lord hybrid. It's almost just like Gallifrey."
"Its not like Gallifrey at all..."
"Oh really? Have you seen this tower? What does it look like to you?" He tapped a screen on a wall close by and a hologram of the tower appeared. The doctor let out a gasp. It was identical to the tower where all future time lords grew up. Well, the towers. There were many across Gallifrey but they had all looked like that.
"What are you playing at, worker?"
"I already told you. This is my planet doctor. There is no one who can stop me and as an added bonus my DNA isn't even time lord, so the Daleks won't come and find me."
"Why did you bring me here?" the doctor asked.
"I was actually just curious why Radriar had turned off his safety and was planning to make short work of him, as with the dragon you see up there." He pointed up to the dragon. "But I think I'll kill you anyway. Goodbye doctor." the worker motioned to the dragon and it jumped off its perch and aimed straight for the doctor, opening its jaw wide. The doctor waited until the last second, then jumped out of the way, causing the beast to slam into the floor, shattering both the floor and some of its teeth. The doctor quickly started tampering with the teleport ring and just as the dragon got its wits about it and snapped at the doctor he had already teleported to the correct location. He just really hoped that Rose and Radriar were still in the dungeon.
Rose was about to believe Radriar and walk back with him when she heard the familiar sound of the TARDIS's engines running. She laughed and ran over to the TARDIS as the doctor stepped out. "Hi Rose," the doctor said with a smile on his face. "Where's Radriar?"
"He got tired of waiting for you and left. Where on earth were you?" Rose asked, slightly agitated.
"Ah well, the worker kind of sort of intercepted my teleport and brought me to his base. We had a chat, he tried to have me killed, I escaped, got the TARDIS, and now I'm here."
"Oh ok. We should try to catch up to Radriar though. He thought you were working with the worker so he never told me where his base is. I wanted to talk to Ausar. Radriar says he's a scheming, evil person but to me he sounds like a nice person," Rose said.
"The worker mentioned Radriar and Ausar building an army to fight him," The doctor said, "I agree we should go and speak to this Ausar." The doctor walked back to the TARDIS and held the door open for Rose. She couldn't help but laugh. The inside of the TARDIS always amazed her. "Allonsy!" The doctor said, flipping a switch and letting the TARDIS's engines heat up. "Let's go find our friend Radriar."
