Chapter Four

"What do you mean?" Vigilare asked, slightly anxious, "How?"

"Don't worry, this won't hurt, unbearably." The Ruler grinned and flicked a switch on his screwdriver, immediately a red light came out and the Controller fell back, writhing in agony. The Ruler ignored his nephew's almost desperate cries for it to stop and brought it down to his right ribcage. Burned by acid and this is one day?! What's he doing?! It hurts!

The Controller felt a beat in the right side of his chest then heard a click, "All done!" The Ruler felt his neck, examining his pulse, "Good, it worked. Hey, are you okay?"

Vigilare didn't answer, and slowly got up, he pressed his still throbbing ribcage. Is it me or has both the sides of my chest, got a pulse?

"I know what your thinking, it'll take a while to get used to it but yes, you've got two hearts." The Ruler said, "Twelve new regenerations Vigilare!" It took a few moments for Vigilare to respond, he actually considered what happened, which was actually unusual for him. But it seemed strange, he'd thought he would have felt different, or more special. It was a little disappointing if he was honest. Then again, the Controller was hardly an honest person. "Heh," he smirked, "co-"

The Ruler interrupted him, "You don't have to act, your not a Time Lord really. Your just Galifreyan, I said Time Lord! That's why you don't feel different!"

Soon the Controller was standing inside the Ruler's TARDIS, admiring his surroundings. He liked it more than the Doctor's, it's colour setting was hotter. That didn't stop him from feeling a bit apprehensive, he wasn't used to it. Vigilare was called the Controller for a reason, and not just because the Master had suggested it. Since he could remembered he had loved being in charge, which most people probably do, but he liked it so much that when he wasn't or didn't have control over a situation the teenager would feel physically uncomfortable and irritable. "Where are we going?" He asked, tapping the armrest impatiently on his seat.

"To make you a proper Time Lord." The Ruler replied, clicking in co-ordinates.

Vigilare rolled his eyes, "I said where, not why!"

"It doesn't matter if I told you or not, it's not like you would have heard of it," the Time Lord replied.

The Controller couldn't sit still, "Are we there yet?" The Ruler raised one of his no longer existent eyebrows (he'd lost all facial hair when decaying) at Vigilare, "Do you realize how childish you sound?" He chuckled. Vigilare growled but said nothing, he'd learned that the Ruler was dangerous, and he was in his TARDIS, with no weapons.

Well at least he gave me more regenerations! And, not to mention the full Time Lord-ness!

The Controller continued to think the situation over, pondering where he might be taking him, and what he was planning. These thoughts were interrupted by the Ruler, "We're here!" Vigilare blinked, stopping his train of thought and getting out of his chair quickly. Probably because he'd been anxious and the journey, which had only taken a few minutes, seemed very long. The Ruler smiled, looking as sinister as he had been since they had met.

"Oh, it's been a while," the Ruler muttered, just loud enough for Vigilare to hear him, who was moving his tongue around his mouth thoughtfully. "Where is this?" The Controller asked, frowning slightly. The Ruler turned his head to face him, "You'll find out soon Vigilare. Be patient." He seemed amused but wasn't grinning as widely. The Controller looked back at him, whatever he was going to see, he had a feeling it was very important. More accurately, he was sure it was. Because, it would make him a Time Lord.

Four chapters :-) I'm surprised I haven't spent days frowning at an empty page for most of this fic. Please read and review! I'm going to try to update this fic more frequently. Until I pass the baton onto YAXON that is. R&R

P.S to YAXON. I'm guessing you can fore see where the Ruler is taking him, dunno if that's a good idea or not but I couldn't think of anywhere else. Tell me if I should edit this chapter okay?
