With a flash, the Doctor and Rose appeared inside the TARDIS prison cell. Being younger, Rose was able to quickly get through the doors and lock them before the Doctor could get any close.
The bubbling sound told the Doctor that they were on the move again.
The Master walked in.
"Happy now?" the Doctor called.
"You have no idea how long I've waited for this, Doctor." replied the Master happily. He turned to Rose. "Look after the consoles for me, will you?"
Rose nodded and left the two Time Lords alone.
"You haven't told her, have you?"
"Does it matter?"
"Well, you said she was the Bad Wolf. What does it mean, anyway?"
The Master snorted.
"I don't know. I just brought her aboard cause she looked good. I mean, when was the last time you got the girl?"
The Doctor rolled his eyes. "So how will you do it?"
"Oh, I'm still thinking. Has to be something really, really horrible, you know. After what you did."
"Funny how neither of us can remember it."
The Master drew closer to the Doctor.
"Don't lie to me, Doc-tor. I'm not insane."
He started tapping against his leg.
Rose Tyler sat alone in the main room, her face in her hands. Things were not going well.
"What am I doing?" she wondered. Her plan to get the Doctor to turn back to goodness seemed impossible and futile, considering how close he was to death and how long he'd been evil.
Getting back to her original Doctor was not an option.
She was stuck.
The Master walked in and found Rose deep in her thoughts. He didn't want to disturb her and just got on with working on the TARDIS controls, setting a new destination.
"Where are we going?" Rose asked.
"An uninhabited planet in the Abzor system. Basically, we're going on break."
Rose smiled. "That sounds nice right about now."
The Master grabbed a pear from a nearby fruit plate and offered the plate to Rose who took a banana.
"You're gonna love it." continued the Master. "Volcanoes and waterfalls and a lot of rainbows. Lovely place. No air though. We'll have to enjoy ourselves close to the TARDIS."
The TARDIS landed with a soft thump and the Master opened both doors to Rose.
Rose gasped. "It's beautiful!"
The sky was a deep red and was contrasted by the water all around them. The TARDIS was standing on a rock that pierced the sea. As the Master had promised, exotic rainbows arched in every direction.
"Now that is what I call alien." said Rose.
The Master winked at her.
Suddenly, the waters around them began to boil.
"What-what's happening?"
The Master ran around the TARDIS, shocked.
"MAAAASTER!" screamed Rose.
A gigantic dragon-like creature rose from the sea and spread its wings to fly towards the TARDIS.
"ROSE, GET IN, GET IN NOW!" yelled the Master and pushed her in shortly before closing the doors.
Rose tried to catch her breath. "You could've told me... about... that."
"I don't understand. This planet is supposed to be uninhabited, these waters are meant to be cleaner than the most purified water on your planet! Nothing lives here!"
"A giant killer dragon does!" retorted Rose.
"It had to have come from someplace else."
"Did somebody turn the heat up?"
The Master felt it. The temperature was rising rapidly in the TARDIS.
"It's breathing fire, trying to roast us."
"Doesn't the TARDIS have shields?!"
"Yes and the fact that they can withstand temporal paradoxes and not a killer dragon is what worries me!"
"Then let's get out of here." suggested Rose.
The Master started to flick buttons and pull levers, but instead of the bubbly sound, there was the sounds of bubbles popping.
"Now what?!" demanded Rose.
The Time Lord groaned. "The dematerialization circuit is stuck, I'm gonna have to repair it.
Rose started to feel sweat on her forehead. "Hurry up before we burn."
The Master reached into his pocket before realizing there was nothing there. "Looks like I'm gonna have to go hands free."
