The group sat looking at the Doctor who was at the far end of the table his head in his hands. It was all too much, everything should have been destroyed in the Moment at the end of the Timewar but here there were remnants.

"Doctor? What's happening?" Amy asked touching his arm softly "what was that ship?"

"the Last Great Timewar," he said "it was terrible. The Dalek's against the Timelords, we fought over for hundreds of millennia burning planets and ships. There were so many deaths, hundreds of millions.

One day there was a Timelord born, years before the Timewar started. When the Master was put in front of the temporal rift they say he went mad, when they put the Vanguard in front of it they say he saw all of space and time but more importantly he saw what was coming – he saw the darkness and saw what he had to do. He predicted the first wave of the attack by the Dalek's and we were able to fight them off but then it all began. We built ships to fight the war; we travelled the stars fighting the Dalek's on all fronts but then one day their numbers were too much. Gallifrey made a choice like no other we chose to build a Tardis like no other. The Sword of Gallifrey was the first Tardis/Battleship hybrid and with the Vanguard as the Captain it changed the tide of war. For the first time there was a Tardis with guns, all across the universe the Sword was in battle with a thousand different Dalek ships all at once, it used time travel to go back in time and attack the Dalek fleet the moment before they attacked it.

It was unstoppable.

He is the reason the Cult of Skaro was invented. They worked out that there was no way any of their ships could stand up to him and so they needed a whole new way of killing but even then that wasn't enough because nothing could stop the Sword as it levelled everything.

Near the end it all got worse. Through our battles we ripped a very hole in the universe from which an evil like no other came. Some say it was built by the Timelords in a future much darker than our own, some say it was a Dalek-Timelord hybrid. Whatever it was it came with darkness and it was unstoppable. It was the Nightmare Child. A ship like no other that killed without caring, slowly it moved through the universe destroying planets and ships of both sides.

Then one day it arrived at Gallifrey, a towering black mass descending from the sky threatening to destroy our planet when from the smoke and cloud the Sword of Gallifrey appeared for the first time, it was amazing, beautiful how it rose through the cloud bank with all guns blazing lighting the night sky and the Nightmare Child turned and fled into the universe. The Nightmare Child appeared before the Sword of Gallifrey existed but it appeared because of what the Sword was going to do but it was no match for it.

The Vanguard sent a message out into the universe telling all Timelords to return to Gallifrey as soon as was possible then, three days later the Sword of Gallifrey went out into the universe to hunt down the Nightmare Child but it was different this time. This was the final leg of the Time War, this was the second time the Sword of Gallifrey had gone out into the universe but at the same time it was the first time too. As it powered through the universe he targeted planets, ships a hundred light-years away and destroyed them all with perfect precision. He could burn planets from two galaxies away and that's what he did. He didn't care whether or not there were Timelords fighting on those planets, he declared that he had already told all Timelords to return to Gallifrey and that he was no longer responsible and so continued razing his way through the galaxy.

We couldn't stop him. The Dalek's couldn't stop him. Davros was killed in battle by the Nightmare Child the first time he lived; he took the most powerful ship they had and fought him head on but the Nightmare Child destroyed him.

In the end the High Council decided enough was enough. With the appearance of the Nightmare Child and the Sword of Gallifrey it was too dangerous for us to continue fighting – the entire universe was at stake. So we went back, before the Sword of Gallifrey existed, before the Nightmare Child appeared, before the Dalek's even sent out their first ship to battle and Timelocked the war, we made sure that nothing would ever be able to ever again be influenced by what we did." The Doctor sighed wiping a tear from his eyes. It was difficult to think about everything had happened in the past.

"After it was locked the Timewar descended into its worst points, both sides pulling out both the stops to try and get the final blow and then, just like before the Nightmare Child appeared," the Doctor sighed "back then things were different," he looked down at his Tardis where it sat glowing "the Tardis, it called me so I responded and using that I… I ended the Timewar, in… The Moment," he sighed "or at least I thought I ended it. The planets burnt, they all burnt in the fire, a million Dalek ships went down but now… the Sword of Gallifrey is here and a ship that was pretending to be the Nightmare Child.

The war is still going on; the Vanguard is still hunting the Nightmare Child but somehow it has spilled over, somehow it's not in your universe,"

"That ship in space, it wasn't the Nightmare Child?" Jack said holding up the pictures of the ship they saw

"No, it had TNMC printed on the side but I know it wasn't the correct ship. The Nightmare Child had its name printed in gold – just like Timelords used to do. It was a decoy to lure him away from the real one," the Doctor explained

"So Doctor, how do we stop him?" Jack asked "how do we get him back into the timelock?"

The Doctor laughed

"Jack, Captain Jack, you need to understand my Tardis is the greatest ship in all of time and space but against the Sword of Gallifrey – a real Gallifrey ship – my Tardis is just a ship. He could destroy me from three galaxies away with pin-point accuracy," the Doctor explained "I can't stand against something like that,"

"Doctor you ended the Timewar that time, what did you use? What was The Moment?" Jack asked. The Doctor shook his head

"No, we can't do that again. It won't work a second time," the Doctor explained

"Then what is going to happen?" Jack asked "what's next?"

"I guess… he will return to Gallifrey," the Doctor deducted "and when he finds everything gone I guess… he will come after me…"
