Chapter 11

The universe shook as the changes began. Whole civilizations were wiped out and replaced by others. Planets died and were reborn as the timeline unraveled and rewove itself.

A full quarter of the universe had been altered by the time the Doctor flew his Tardis into the breach.

The other Tardis was already there being buffeted by the negative energies pouring forth from the giant hole between the universes.

"Jack! Hold that lever down! Yes! That one there!" The Doctor scrambled around the central column and activated the Tardis' communication circuits. "Come in Doctor! This is the Doctor speaking! Can you hear me?" he yelled into the mike.

A tinny metallic voice answered his call. "Greetings, Doctor-master! Your former self has been injured and is being attended to by Ian Chesterton.

A huge smile broke out on the Doctor's face. "K-9! I forgot that I was working on y…wait! What do mean he's been injured? How badly?" The smile vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

"He has suffered a mild concussion and should recover soon. Suggestion: we should take care of creating the temporal stop-gap before continuing with this conversation! My calculations show that the breach's growth is beginning to accelerate. We have four and one-half minutes until total collapse."

The Doctor began flipping switches. "Yes…right…of course! Let's see! Ummm…ok! Activating temporal phase loop one!"

********************************************************************************

K-9 sent the necessary signals along the electronic pathway which connected him to the Tardis.

"Temporal phase loop one…connected. Phase two…initiated."

********************************************************************************

The Doctor jumped backwards as a shower of sparks shot forth from the Tardis console.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! The feedback buffer just failed! Jack! Get me the chrono-spanner!" he yelled as he pulled up the floor grating and dived below.

Jack dropped the spanner down to him. "What do I do, Doctor?"

"Watch that panel! If those numbers fall below 10.3 we're done for!" he said as he worked feverishly.

Jack glanced at the figures. "11.53. So far , so good!" he called down to the Time Lord.

********************************************************************************

K-9 buzzed a repair signal to a faulty circuit. "You must hurry, Doctor-master. Two minutes and 34 seconds remaining."

********************************************************************************

The Doctor's head popped out of the hole in the floor. "I know! I know! Try it now! Initiate temporal power inversion! Open all ventral core channels, and prepare to engage Tardis mainframe linkups!"

**************************************************************************

K-9 felt power flowing backwards along the channel he was connected to and severed the link microseconds before a burst of power charged through.

"Temporal power inverted. All ventral core channels open. Tardis mainframe linking up…now! Power increasing! 1.4.…..1.6.…..1.8.…..2.0"

**************************************************************************

Jack looked over at the Doctor who was emerging from the depths of the great old time machine.

"The numbers are falling Doctor! 11.35.…..11.32.…..11.30"

The Doctor flipped two switches and pulled the monitor around in front of him. A look of fear crossed his face as he read the figures displayed there. "K-9! We're losing power over here! I won't have enough to complete the link! Is there any way to send me some from your side?"

**************************************************************************

"Negative. Analysis indicates withdrawal to be the most prudent form of action."

**************************************************************************

"No! There has to be a way." He continued trying to level off the power drain as he thought.

"What about a feedback inversion? No, wait…that won't work. Try intermixing the positron matrix's wave…no, that won't work either!" He slammed his hand down on the console in frustration. "C'mon Doctor! Think!" he exclaimed to himself. "There has to be a w…."

His eyes went wide as an idea began to take shape in his mind. "Yes! Of course!"

The Doctor quickly set about making the necessary changes on his side. As he opened the last circuit he turned and addressed the monitor. "K-9! I want you to open the Eye of Harmony!"

**************************************************************************

K-9's circuit's raced electronic thoughts computing the odds of such a stratagem. "Negative Master! My calculations show…"

**************************************************************************

"I don't care what the calculations show! I know what I'm doing! Just open it!"

**************************************************************************

"Signal sent….the Eye is responding….Tardis power core now fully exposed….power build-up reaching critical mass in 12.4 seconds, Master."

**************************************************************************

The Doctor looked at Jack with a huge grin on his face.

Jack's brows knitted together. "What is it? What are you going to do?"

"Oh, you just watch, Jack! Just you watch!"

The Doctor pulled down a lever and pressed a button.

"Alright K-9! Now…reverse the polarity of the neutron flow!"

************************************************************************

K-9 sent the appropriate signal. "Flow reversed….power levels falling to nominal levels….power flow to secondary Tardis stabilized. All ventral core channels firing. Time dam is forming. Zero point six….point seven five….point nine….time dam is in place and holding. The breach is sealed, Master."

************************************************************************

"Yes!" Jack yelled as he grabbed the Doctor in a bear hug. "You did it! Now how do we put right what the Daleks did? Or can we even do it?"

"Oh yes! K-9, invert temporal thrust and engage all drive circuits on my mark! 3...2...1...now!"

************************************************************************

"Affirmative Master. Drive circuits engaged. Temporal incursion loop increasing."

************************************************************************

Jack read the numbers on the display screen. "I don't believe it! The breach is shrinking! And everything is returning to normal. Just like it was before the Daleks opened it! But I don't understand…how?"

The Doctor grinned boyishly. "Oh sorry, did I forget to mention that the Tardis is a time machine?" he asked facetiously. "Once the time dam was in place all I had to do was enclose the breach in the time field of the two Tardis' and run time backwards. The Daleks are back trapped in the void, the holes to both universes are sealed, time has been set right and now all we have to do is…." A flashing light interrupted him. The Doctor's face went pale.

"What's is it, Doctor? Something wrong?" queried the former time agent.

"It's the signal."

Confusion lined Jack's handsome features. "What signal?"

The Doctor turned and stared at him. "It's the signal, Jack. The summons back to Galifrey. The Time Lords are calling me…him…home. To fight in the Time War."
