Chapter 7 – Meeting The President and Valient

--

A/N: Hey Everyone. Sorry for not updating lately. I'm rather upset about some of the reviews I'm getting. Like That Darn Time Lord and An Actual Fan Of Doctor Who.

If you don't like it, there's no need to post rude comments. I'm reluctantly posting this Chapter but I thought. 'Hang on, it's only two reviews, what harm can it do to just post it for my better reviewers :D'.

Anyway everyone have a magnificent Christmas and a happy new year :D.

I'd like to put a little thank you to Haru_Inuzuka and bambieyes1234 for being faithful readers and reviewing when you get the chance. I hope you both have the most brilliant Christmas ever and an awesome new year :D

The Master, Lucy and Bella are standing as they watch President Winters approach them.

"Mr President, sir!" The Master said mock saluting.

"Mr Saxon. The British Army will stand down. From now on, UNIT has control of this operation," President Winters said ignoring the fact The Master did actually just give him a mock salute.

"You make it sound like an invasion," The Master said putting emphasis on invasion.

"First contact policy was decided by the Security Council in 1968. And you've just gone and ignored it." President Winters sighed gritting his teeth together at the insolence of the man in front of him.

"Well you know what it's like. New job, all that paperwork. I think it's down the back of the settee. I did have a quick look. I found a pen, a sweet, a bus ticket and uh … have you met the family?" The Master grinned pulling Rose forward. Bella silently giggled in the background, hiding behind her mother because the man her father was talking to gave of some really bad vibes.

"Mr Saxon, I'm not sure what your game is but there are provisions at the United Nations to have you removed from office unless you are very, very careful. Is that understood?" President Winters glared at The Master. The Master mimed zipping his lips and gave a sly grin to President Winters. "Are you taking this seriously?" He paused and The Master nodded. "To business. We've accessed your files on these … Toclafane. First contact cannot take place on any sovereign soil. For that purpose, the aircraft carrier Valiant is en route. The rendezvous will take place there at 8:00am." President Winters again paused waiting for The Master's reaction.

The Master tries to talk through his zipped lips. Bella was now holding her sides trying not to burst out into laughter. "You're trying my patience, sir."

The Master unzips his lips. "So America is completely in charge?" The Master asked.

"Since Britain elected an ass, yes. I'll see you onboard the Valiant." President Winters turned around and started to walk away.

"It still will be televised, though, won't it? Because I promised, and the whole world is watching," The Master shouted out and watched the President turn around to face him a grin approaching the sides of his lips.

"Since it's too late to pull out, the world will be watching. Me." President Winters replies then turns around and walks to the car that is waiting for him.

"The last President of America. We have a private plane ready and waiting. We should reach the Valiant within the hour." He said motioning for Bella and Rose to go first. Bella winces and lets out a little whimper before getting into the car. Rose sends a confused look to The Master and he shrugs a concerned look bordering on his eyes. A siren rings out bringing them both out of their thoughts and a police van pulls up. The Jones family are taken out and The Master runs over like greeting old friends.

"Hi, guys! All will be revealed!" He said laughing like the maniac he is.

The Jones family are then dragged over to a Land Rover and The Master's grin brightens. Rose sighs and climbs into the car and The Master sends one more look The Doctor's way before getting in as well.

Bella sat curled up into a tight ball a few dry tears staining her cheeks.

"Bella? What's the matter?" Rose asked draping an arm around Bella's shoulders and pulling her into a hug.

"It's just a painful headache, don't worry about it," Bella smiled a little.

"Sir, were here," The driver, said to them. The Master turned to glare at the man but then looked at Bella before opening the door and getting out. He helped Bella and Rose out and they all walked towards a private jet. Once they were sat down, they strapped themselves in and the plane started down the runway before leaving the ground and heading to its destination. The Valient.

After an hour or so the plane came to a skidding stop and Bella looked out the small window.

"The Valient. Protecting the skies of Planet Earth," Bella smirked laughing a tiny bit before exiting the plane and following her father and mother. They walked into the bridge/conference room and Bella looked around in awe.

"I want the whole thing branded in my sort of honest, not the Untied Nations'. Got that ?" President Winters said to a simply random person and the simply random person nodded their head.

"Anything I can do? I could make tea or isn't that American enough? I don't know, maybe I could make grits. What are grits, anyway ?" The Master pondered.

President Winters glared at him. "If you could just sit."

The Master turns round to face Rose and make a face. "Misery guts. What do you think? It's good, isn't it?" He said pulling out a chair for Rose.

"It's beautiful." Rose smiled sitting down. Bella sat down at her feet and The Master pulls out another chair for himself.

"Some of my best work. Ministry of Defence. I helped design this place," He whispered sitting down. "Every detail."

"Two minutes, everyone !" Winters said climbing the steps. Bella rolled her eyes and pulled out a book (*). "According to the treaty, all armed personnel are requested to leave the flight deck immediately. Thank you."

"Jelly Baby?" The Master offered Rose and she smiled at him before taking one.

"Broadcasting at 7:58 with the arrival timed at 0800 precisely. And, uh, good luck to all of us." President Winters said glancing slightly at the Saxon family. Bella let out an exasperated sigh and pulled her black straight hair over her ears to block out the sound then she continued reading.

"My fellow Americans, patriots, people of the world… I stand before you today as ambassador for humanity, a role I will undertake with utmost solemnity. Perhaps our Toclafane cousins can offer us much, but what is important is not that we gain material benefits, but that we learn to see ourselves anew." President Winters said looking at the camera. Bella felt a change in the air and looked at her father and even he wasn't smiling anymore. "For as long as man has looked to the stars, he has wondered what mysteries they hold. Now we know we are not alone …" Bella blanked Winter's voice out and frowned at her father. He gave her a reassuring smile.

"And I ask you now, I ask of the human race, to join with me in welcoming our friends. I give you the Toclafane." President Winters said as the spheres appear around him. " My name is Arthur Coleman Winters, President-Elect of the United States of America and designated representative of the United Nations. I welcome you to the planet Earth and it's associated moon."

"You're not The Master or Bad Wolf." The sphere said in a male like voice.

"We like the Mr Master and Mrs Wolf," Another one said in a female voice.

"We don't like you," The 3rd Toclafane said.

"I… can be Master, if you so wish. I will accept mastery over you if that is God's will," Winters said a bit unsure.

"Man is stupid," The 3rd Toclafane said again.

"Master and Wolf are our friends," The 1st Toclafane said.

"Where's my Master, pretty please ?" The 2nd Toclafane said.

"Oh, all right then. It's me." The Master said standing up. Bella again sighed and 'tried' to read her book ignoring what was happening around her. "Ta-da!" The Master again said laughing. "Sorry. Sorry, I have this effect. People just get obsessed. Is it the smile? Is it the aftershave? Is it the capacity to laugh at myself? I don't know. It's crazy!" He said sliding in front of the table.

"Saxon, what are you talkin' about ?" Winters asked confused.

The Master turned around to face Winters. All of a sudden he was serious and not his cheerful self. "I'm taking control, Uncle Sam. Starting with you. Kill him," He nodded his head towards the Toclafane. One of the Toclafane shoot Winters with a laser and he bursts into ash.

"Guards," Saxon shouted out laughing.

"Nobody move! Nobody move!" The guards shouted pointing there guns at everyone.

"Now then, peoples of the Earth, please attend carefully," The Master, said to the camera.

"Stop him !" A guard shouted out and Bella looked up from her book. Two guards grab The Doctor and force him to kneel on the floor.

"We meet at last, Doctor. Oh, ho! I love saying that!" The Master grinned at him.

"Stop this! Stop it now!" The Doctor replied a pleading look in his eye.

"As if a perception filter's gonna work on me. Oh, and look, it's the girlie and the freak. Although, I'm not sure which one's which." The Master grinned and fired his laser at Jack as Jack rushes towards him. Jack fell to the floor dead. "Laser screwdriver, who'd have sonic? And the good thing is, he's not dead for long. I get to kill him again!" The Master laughed maniacally.

Martha crawls over to Jack slapping him a little.

The Doctor looked at Bella who was taking no notice of the scene before her as she read her book. He then looked at The Master.

"Master, just calm down. Just look at what you're doing. Just stop. If you could see yourself …" The Doctor said frantically.

"Oh, do excuse me, little bit of personal business. Back in a minute," The Master said sighing before facing the guards. "Let him go."

The guards push The Doctor to the floor before backing up a little.

"It's that sound, the sound in your head. What if I could help?" The Doctor said looking up at his friend turned enemy,

"Oh, how to shut him up? I know. Memory Lane!" He said smirking at The Doctor before sitting on the steps facing The Doctor. "Professor Lazarus. Remember him? And his genetic manipulation device?"

The Doctor looked through his memory remembering immediately.

"Did you think that little Tish got that job merely by coincidence? I've been laying traps for you all this time. And if I can concentrate all that Lazarus technology into one little screwdriver… But, ooh, if I only had the Doctor's biological code. Oh , wait a minute, I do!" The Master laughed running over to a silver case and opening it. "I've got his hand! And if Lazarus made himself younger, what if I reverse it? Another hundred years?" The Master finishes and points the Laser Screwdriver at The Doctor who screams as he goes into convulsions as his genetic makeup is altered. Jack suddenly revives.

"Teleport," Bella heard Jack say to Martha.

"I can't !" Martha argued

"We can't stop them. Get out of here. Get out !" Jack whispered harshly. The Master finally stops and The Doctor has the body of a very old man. Martha crawls to his side.

"It's okay Doctor, I've got you," Martha said pulling The Doctor into her arms.

"Aw, she's a would-be doctor. But tonight, Martha Jones, we've flown 'em in all the way from prison-" The Master pauses as the door slides open and guards escort Francine, Clive and Tish in.

"Mum," Martha said tears falling slightly.

"I'm sorry!" Francine said crying.

"The Toclafane, who are they? What are they ?" The Doctor said breathing heavily.

"Doctor, if I told you the truth, your hearts would break," The Master said putting his hands on The Doctor's hearts.

"Is it time ?" The 1st Toclafane said.

"Is it ready?" The 3rd Toclafane said.

"Is the machine singing?" The 2nd Toclafane said excitedly.

The Master checked his watch. "Two minutes past." The Master said jumping up and standing next to Rose. "So! Earthlings. Basically, um, end of the world." The Master said holding up his screwdriver.

"Here… come…the drums!"

Rogue Trader's "Voodoo Child" starts to play

#Here come the drums. Here come the drums…

#Baby,baby,baby. You are my voodoo child, my voodoo child…

The Master looks out the window.

#Don't say maybe, maybe. It's supernatural. I'm comin' undone…

Everyone can see that a rift opens in the sky.

#Baby,baby,baby. You are my voodoo child, my voodoo child …

Toclafane by the thousands exit the rift.

#Don't say maybe,maybe. It's supernatural. I'm comin' undone. Baby, Baby, Baby. You are my voodoo child, my voodoo child …#

Rose and The Master watch all of this from the bridge while Bella looks sadly at The Doctor before glancing up at her parents.

"How many do you think?" The Master asks Rose.

"I don't know," Rose said gazing at it wonderfully.

"Six Billion." He said switching on the outside speakers. "Down you go, kids!"

On the Valiant people are watching out the windows as the Toclafane swarm down to Earth.

"Shall we decimate them? That sounds good. Nice word-decimate." He said grinning at Rose before turning back to the window. "Remove one-tenth of the population!"

Martha now feels the tears coming as she listens to the messages.

"Valiant, this is Geneva! We're getting slaughtered down here!" The 1st Message said.

Martha stands up on shakily legs , leaving The Doctor.

"Help us, for God's sake! Help us! They're everywhere!" The 2nd Message said.

"This is London, Valiant! This is London calling! What do we do?!" The 3rd Message said.

Martha looks at her family sadly.

"They're killing us! The Toclafane are killing us!" The 4th and final message said.

Martha looks at The Doctor for the last time before she activates the teleporter. Bella watched fascinated as Martha disappears. She then looks at The Doctor where he is exchanging a look with Jack before he looks back up to The Master. Bella also looks up. The Doctor is pulled onto his feet and thrust into a wheelchair while watching helplessly as the Earth falls and crumbles.

"And so it came to pass…that the human race fell and the Earth was no more. And I looked down upon my new dominion as Master of all and I thought it…good." The Master said grinning as his face turned to one of helplessness.
