Ood:
As the TARDIS began to materialize, the parents were broken from their hypnotic state, unaware as to anything that happened during this time, they began to look around, as if they had just gotten in, inspecting each and every nook and cranny of her, as soon as the temporal engines and time rotor stopped, I again snapped my fingers and the TARDIS doors opens up, I quickly exited, and told Jenny and the family to stay inside the TARDIS.
You know, I never thought about it before, but that never seems to work, I always tell people my #2 rule, DON'T WANDER OFF! But do they ever listen? Nooo…I always have to chase them down and save them from certain doom… oh well, I rather enjoy it a lot of the time, it's thrilling and exciting, and I get to do LOTS of running. But this time, under the circumstances, I hope that in this one, very unusual situation, that they follow my order of staying in the TARDIS, I hope that they
will just be like sensible, sane people…who am I kidding, how can anybody be sane when they are around me?
As I walk through the woods I see things very out of the ordinary, such as, all of the trees have black ash on the leaves, and the grass is seeming to be less and less there, I soon realize that I'm not just going crazy, this is where the Ood s hiding, and the only reason I didn't understand it , was the perception filter surrounding the area, So I get out my sonic, set
my mind to what I want to happen, and I deactivate the perception filter.
The last time I saw an Ood, I was with my good friend Albert Einstein, he had thought that he created a fluid that could make time travel, but instead, he was temporarily turned into an Ood, and a mean one at that, it told me a very interesting thing, "Death is the only answer." And
another time, my friend, Ood Sigma told my "Your song is coming to an end."
It never really made sense, still doesn't I suppose , I wonder what those
Ood meant.
I realize that things begin to come into focus, and I see that the Ood, apparently more intelligent than I once believed, as there was a large, spherical ice structure, not a space ship, no, the Ood were getting smart, this was a gateway, a portal, a teleport, no, this was a Time Gate, it must have been based on unknown Gallifreyin designs, as the Time Gate was only an idea at the time of the tragedy, an idea of a way to bring massive armies to any planet and any time, massive armies that cold end a
should-be-century long war in a matter of minutes.
The Time Gates plans and details must have been discovered, as all things locked in a Time Lock tend to do, they must have found their way to the Ood Sphere, hey must have managed to reconstruct this, This is how the Ood managed to get to the Earth, this! I can't believe the Ood have gotten THIS advanced in technology, to be able to replicate the intricate workings of Gallifreyan design, no other race than the Time Lords have ever created anything so powerful, but also, nothing so deadly…
I get out my sonic, and attempt to activate the Time Gate, but it doesn't seem to be working properly, the gate must have some form of a
firewall, I'm gonna need to do this the hard way…
I walk up to the Time Gate, and press my hands against it, Time Lord DNA, it recognizes it's origins, and that I am the only capable Time Lord to use it.
I remove my hands from the side of the ice figure, and as I suspected, the ice melted away, leaving the gate, open for use, I walk forward, I reach out, tempted to do the impossible, something I know I cannot do, but I want to do so badly, Gallifrey is sealed in a Time Lock, but Time Gates are more powerful than the power of that even a TARDIS, perhaps powerful enough to save Gallifrey, but most likely not… Even if so, Gallifrey has changed since the old days, If Gallifrey was to be released, the Time War would continue and the universe would likely be destroyed.
"Doctor!" I hear from behind, "UHG, Do you people NEVER listen,
'Stay with the TARDIS' that's all I asked of you, why does EVERYBODY do this!" "It's the Ood thing, Doctor it's at the TARDIS" Jenny replies "What? The Ood would had to have traveled through this, how could I have missed that!" I say, but then I realize, the time stream is, in terms that aren't too complicated, Wibbly Wobly, Timey wimey, spacey wacy, the Ood had to have come through before I found it, and it is now at the TARDIS.
Jenny and I run back to the TARDIS, And I see the Ood, but this time, its eyes are the proper color, and I realize who the Ood is that I'm seeing, Ood Sigma, my old friend, I saved him and the other Oods from enslavement in the 51st century. "Ah, hello Ood Sigma! How have you been?" I ask, the Ood switches on his translator and replies "Hello
Doctor, I have been looking for you for a very long time, the Ood are in great danger, and we are not prepared for an invasion, the Ood sphere is not safe anymore, we need to find a new home." Sigma answered "You seem to be doing alright to me, well, better than alright, you managed to
construct something that only the Time Lords could construct" I answer.
Ood sigma looks at me in despair, as if I missed something he had said
"Yes." He replies.
