"You are completely insane," said Jez, as he stand in front of a door. The door was gold with a silver outline of a wolf. "How can this be your ship? Its just a normal door."
"Open the door," Wolf said, smiling.
Jez pause for a few seconds before he grab the door knob and pull the door open. The inside was that of a log cabin. A wooden table sit in the middle with a dark blue tube, surround by controls in the center. A hand-made wooden couch, cover with a deep forest green throw over, was facing the table. Two hand-made wooden chairs sat in the far corner of the room. A pair of wooden stair twist upward to an unknown destination. "Impossible,. This is just-." He ran back out the door and around. "How is this even possible. It goes against the laws of physics."
"Its Time Lord technology." Wolf said as if that would explain everything.
Jez turn back around to face Wolf, "who are you, really."
- -
I could tell that Jez is starting to freak out. "Calm down, Jez. I will never hurt you. My name is Wolf, I'm a Time Lady. I'm from the Planet Gallifrey in the constellation of kasterborous. I'm 1050 years old."
"So, in other words, you're a alien,"said Jez once he manage to relax a little.
"Yes'"
"What exactly is a Time Lady?" asked Jez.
"My people was the oldest race in the universe. We were the protectors of Time and Space," I explain.
"Your talking about you people in past tense, what happen?" he ask.
Could I tell him about the War? He have the right to know that at least there was a war. "There was a war. The last Great Time War. …...My people lost."
"Damn, I'm sorry, Wolf. I shouldn't have brought it up," said Jez, sadly.
"Its alright Jez, the past is the past. I can't live in the past forever. I need to live in the now," I said.
"And besides, Earth is my home now."
"Really!"
"Of course. The human race have so many different cultures and you believe each person is an individual. That's why I love the human race," I exclaim.
"I take it that things on your planet were different than on Earth?"
"You have no idea just how different. The government was set up with a president and his/her High Council, then there was the General Council: which mostly deal with public problems. We were excepted to all act the same and anyone that show to be different was look down upon," I explain.
"How were Time Ladies suppose to act?" ask Jez.
"Please don't get me started on that."
"That bad?"
"Airless and graceful," I grumble.
"Airless!" said Jez, laughing, "I can't picture you being airless or graceful."
"Enough talking about my boring life on Gallifrey. Where do you want to go?" I ask.
" The past! To meet Galileo," said Jez.
I couldn't help but laugh. Of course, Jez would want to visit one of the most well know scientist.
"Welcome to Italy, Jez. The year is 1632," I said as I step out of the Tardis.
"A year before Galileo was forced to recant the Heliocentric Theory and put under house arrest for the rest of his life by the Roman Catholic Church," added Jez as he step up beside me. "Why this year?"
"Pops pick up a disturbance in the time line and it was coming from this point in time," I admit.
"What kind of disturbance?"
How to explain the concept of time to a human. "Time doesn't flow in a straight line. There is also more than one time line. The choices we make can affect not only our own time line but others as well," I explain.
"Kind of like a parallel universe. For example, in this universe, I'm majoring in astronomy but in another time line in a parallel universe, I could be majoring in history," said Jez.
Okay. Now that surprise me. Jez is a genius under the goth look. "Correct. Now the disturbance is a fixed point about to be change." I could see that Jez was at a lost. "Most of the time, time can be rewritten. Things such as major events or people, who made a huge impact become fixed points. Fixed points in time cannot be rewritten, they are facts."
"You're saying that Galileo being under house arrest is a fixed point in time?" ask Jez.
"Yes. You see when Galileo was arrested, he continue to write about his theories. This cause some people to want to learn more about the universe they live in," I explain.
"Which eventually lead to more advance telescopes, the Space Race, a man on the moon," added Jez. I nodded. "But why would someone want to stop all of that?"
"Now that's the mystery and I know someone who can help us solve it," I said, walking.
"who?"
"The man himself, Galileo!"
"Wolf, do you even know where you're going," pant Jez.
"Of course I do," I look around. "Okay...I think we're lost."
"Aye ye ye! Look Wolf, lets just head back to the Tardis and use the scanner to try and find Galileo," suggested Jez. He turn around and headed back the way they came.
Jez only took a few steps when he bump into someone. "Oi! Watch were-." He stop when he notice who he bump into. "Galileo!"
Galileo was in his late sixties with gray hair and beard. He was scrambling to collect the papers scatter around on the ground. "Look I don't want to cause anymore trouble with the Church."
"Galileo, sir. I'm not with the Church. I'm a believer in the Heliocentric Theory," said Jez, helping Galileo collect his scatter papers.
"Do not say that so freely, child. There are representatives of the Catholic Church everywhere," whisper Galileo.
I was again surprise by Jez. He have easy fell into the roll of a person from the 1600's. That is after he bump into Galileo. Walking up to Jez and Galileo, I bent down to help them collect the papers. "Its an honor to meet you, Galileo."
He straighten up, "you two seem to know who I am but I do not know who you are?"
"Sorry. My name is Wolf," I said. I nodded toward Jez, "and that is my friend, Jez."
"Its nice to meet the both of you." He turn to Jez, "you are a believer in the Heliocentric Theory."
"Yes, sir."
Galileo glance around the street. Turning back to face Jez and I, "come with me, I have something that you both might find interesting."
But before we could start to follow Galileo, a gravel voice shouted. "The human our master wants is over here!"
Jez didn't think this adventure couldn't get any worst than running into his idol, Galileo, but he spoke to soon. A group of strange looking blue creatures block the way. "Of course, the problem would involved aliens."
"Run!" shouted Wolf.
Jez follow Wolf with Galileo beside him. "What are those things, Wolf?"
"Ograns, a servant race. They live in scatter communities on one of the outer planets. They are loyal servants to their masters and act as a simple but effective police force." she explain.
"They are demons!" cry Galileo.
Wolf lead Jez and Galileo to an abandon warehouse. Pulling out a metal tube from her back pocket, Wolf point it at the lock door. A purple light the tip and a buzzing sound follow by the door unlocking. " Get in, quickly."
Jez slip in follow by Galileo than Wolf, closing the door. Jez turn to Wolf, " what was that metal tube thing?"
"A sonic pen. Very useful," replied Wolf putting the sonic pen back in her pocket.
"Why are demons after me? Is it true that my work is that of the Devil!," Galileo cry out.
"Galileo, those creatures are not demons, they're aliens and your work is not that of the Devil. Its revolutionary!," said Jez.
"Jez is telling you the truth Galileo . The creatures that were chasing us were aliens not demons," added Wolf.
"But why would they want me?" ask Galileo, frighten.
"We were hoping that you would know," answer Jez.
Galileo shook his headed, "I do not know. I am just a simple scientist."
"That's it!" shouted Wolf. "Oh, Galileo. You are not just a simple scientist. You inspire people in generations to come to reach for the stars, to learn more about the universe."
"I get it! Without Galileo to inspire future generations, the human race would never have been driven to learn more about the universe," added Jez.
"You are saying that those creatures out there wants to kill me?"
Wolf nodded, "but I will not let that happen. We need to figure out who is in control of the Ograns."
"Well, it seem that nothing get pass you, now does it Silver Wolf," a male voice call from above.
I look up to see a man leaning over the second floor railing. "Who are you?"
The man started to laugh. "I'm surprise you haven't figure out what I am. After all, we are the same species, Silver Wolf."
"A Time Lord!" I whisper. How is that even possible. I thought I was the last. I'll figure it out later, right now Jez and Galileo are in danger. I step protectively in front of my two friends. "Again, I ask you. Who are you?"
"I'm the Valeyard," the time Lord said.
I let out a growl. Of all the Time Lords that could have survive, why did it have to be the Valeyard.
"You know, I'm actually kind of surprise that the Silver Wolf ended up in my trap instead of the Doctor. Question is: Why are you not traveling with the Doctor?"he ask. The Valeyard pause for a moment than started to laugh. "He doesn't know that you exist. He still believes that he is the last. Oh, this is rich!"
While the Valeyard was rambling on, I turn to Jez. "Listen to me, you and Galileo need to get out of here. I'll deal with the Valeyard."
"I'm not leaving you alone, Wolf," said Jez.
"Please, Jez. You don't know how dangerous the Valeyard is," Said Wolf
Jez nodded and lead Galileo back the way they came. He pause and turn back to Wolf, "be careful."
"I will," I replied as I watch Jez and Galileo slip out the door.
"Alright the Valeyard, its just you and me," I growl, stepping forward.
"I'm amaze at how you manage to avoid being capture for 500 years," said the Valeyard.
"The agents that the CIA send weren't the brightest," I smirk . Good times. Agent Kesto wasn't the brightest of the agents sent after me.
"To bad I can't take you back before the High Council of Gallifrey," he said.
"Please, they were just upset because I step all over their pride," I laugh.
"Just because the High Council is gone, doesn't mean there is not a price for your death," the Valeyard said smiling.
I glance up at the stone support beam and notice the large crack running down the center. The Valeyard notice were I was looking at and pull out a sonic blaster and point it at me. Quickly, pulling out my sonic pen, I point it up at thee stone support beam. I look at the Valeyard, "lets see who can shoot the fastest." Turning on my sonic, the support beam came crashing down just as the Valeyard fire the blaster.
Jez turn around as the ground started to rumble. "WOLF!" He yelled as he watch the warehouse collapses. Jez couldn't believe it, Wolf can't be dead. But there is no way she could have survive. Tears began to fall as he ran forward. He pay no attention to Galileo calling out to him.
As he came close to the collapses warehouse, he is positive that there was no way Wolf was still alive. "Jez." Jez spun around at the sound at the sound of a woman's voice. A voice he knows.
"WOLF!"He move closer to see Wolf sitting up a few yards from the collapses warehouse. Jez slide next to her.
" Are you alright?" Jez ask, hugging her.
"Yeah," Wolf look back at the collapses warehouse. "Hopefully, we won't see the Valeyard again."
Jez and Wolf are standing outside of the Tardis looking at Galileo. "Thank you for saving me," he sazid shaking Jez's and Wolf's hand.
"No problem," said Jez.
"I hope the future is a wonderful place." Galileo turn to Wolf, "I'm sorry for your lost." He than turn and left.
Jez look at Wolf, " how the hell did he know?"
"He is a genius."
