Chapter 11: Enemy at the Threshold


I hadn't prepared myself for what lay behind the door, the door that now stood in front of me, in there was almost certainly my own fate or possible my worst nightmare, depending on what the Illusive Man had in store for me, knowing my luck it was probably both.

Alex smiled at me reasurlingly beckoning me to open the door, I regretted it almost instantly once I saw what was inside

The room I stood in was massive, with large circular things on the walls, a massive clock with ancient Gallifreyen symbols stood in the middle, in the centre of the clock was the swirling Time vortex. A dark storm cloud rageing on constanltly as the essence of Time was being torn apart.

"Is that..." I stammered not really knowing what to say, Alex didn't answer me he just stood there in awe at the thing. Who could blame him? The Eternity Clock was the only survivng relic of Gallifrey, his home that he knew.

I heard clapping and spun round to see the Illusive Man standing in front of the clock, his face smug like it always was.

"Welcome" he said his face still smiling "so glad you could join us on this glorious occasion"

I stood there facing down the man who had taken the lives of so many people we knew and loved. How I wished I could kill him here and now to end this who, thing once and for all.

"You.., actually...have... It" Alex stammered with shock, he looked at the Eternity Clock with shock and awe. "I thought that"

"You thought that I wouldn't" The Illusive Man laughed and he turned to the clock "it's magnificent isn't it?" He turned to me "to be here and have the power to control time itself"

"You can't change the laws of time" Alex groweld "the paradoxes would be too catastrophic!"

I had no idea what he was talking about but I guessed it would be bad, the Illusive Man wasn't listening of course he just stood there silently watching something, I couldn't make it out but it was like a holonet video on fast forward.

"Who's timeline is that?" Alex asked in shock, he seemed to recognise what the fast forward stream was.

The Illusive Man smiled and laughed "really I thought you would've guessed, the Eternity Clock doesn't just control the time line, it can change any time line you wished to change, and obviously, you can guess who's time line is"

Alex stared at the swirling images in the clock that suddenly became clearer and clearer, he gasped in shock "mine, you want to change my o"wn time line"

"Even better" The Illusive Man said "I don't want to just change your time line, I want to make sure you never existed! That the Avatar stays as it is! Nothing more than a legend"

Ashley seemed to know what the Illusive Man was saying and said "you want to erase him from excistance! But you can't do that!"

"Everything will die!" I gasped realising the full extent of the Illusive Man's plan "you must realise that!"

"A worthy sacrifice to bring down my enemy" The Illusive Man chuckled "for me it will finally bring peace, for him" he looked at Aled menacingly "it will be pain everlasting" he held up all 7 keys "and now I have these, the dream is finally possible"

"Hang on!" Ashley said "I thought there were 8 keys, why are there?" The Illusve Man smiled at me and laughed

"Don't you get it girl?" The way he looked at me was unsettling and creepy, but I had a feeling I knew what he was talking about. I was the final peace of the puzzle for him. The one thing he needed to make his dream a reality.

"Ahsoka's the final peace!" Ashley gasped in surprise "you need her to complete the transfer"

"That is the general way of looking at it" The Illusive Man said, everyone look,ed at me in surprise , like I was suddenly the expert. But I didn't care I was not going to let this man turn everything against Alex, I would stop him no matter the cost.

"I get it" I realised "you want nothing more then to hurt Alex" he stared at me in disbelieve "to change everything, to make his great victories into defeats, love into sorrow" I took out my Lightsabers and ignited it, the green blades shone in the darkness "I'm not going to let you!"

The Illusive Man shrugged like this was no big deal "he put the keys in his pockets and took out something, the only thing that could math against a Lightsaber, a black Saber, it's blade as dark as sin "I said I needed you" he ignited the blade "I didn't say I needed you in one peace" and he charged...
