Chapter 21

I went back close to where I previously stood. The Doctors looked close to tears.

Donna was about to go to her daughter, who I stood beside. The brace was the worst thing that could happen, she probably thought. So why doesn't she get it off herself...?

As she started walking, I stuck my right foot out, tripping her. She landed on Ella, who fell back. Crack!

"What was...? Oh my God... Ella!"

The brace was snapped in half. I stuck my left index finger inside mine and pulled back. It also broke. "Great discovery, Donna. Anything else you proved can break easily?"

"Well," she sort of laughed. "I once broke my mate's Nokia in the nineties."

"That's possible?" Amy looked at her and asked.

Crack! Crack! Lee and River broke theirs. "This is just plastic," she told the Master.

He looked shocked that we figured out that all along, we were overthinking the material. I walked over to him, hand held out. "Give me the laser, Master."

For a minute, he didn't move. Ten raised his gun again. "Give it to-"

I held my finger up to get him to stop. "Please give it over."

He took it out and dropped it in my hand. I put it away in my jacket.

"Thank you," I looked to a few of the others and signaled for them to go let the others free.

When Four, Five, Tegan, and Sarah Jane started walking over, the guards who stood by the wall started running away. Jack and Eleven ran after them.

I stepped away from the Master. Ten and Twelve went closer.

"You've tried to stop me time and time again, Doctor. You always have. And you have this time, for the most part."

"For the most part?" I asked.

"I know what happens when two oncoming storms meet- disaster strikes. I sent one to London that no human would survive."

"You did this?" Twelve interrogated.

He faced the two again. "If you want to kill me, kill me now."

Ten was ready to, but Twelve put his hand on top of the gun and brought it down. "No, we won't. We'll leave that to Thalia."

I felt all eyes beat down on me. I didn't want to kill him. I secretly had already killed people on Gallifrey, and it didn't do anything for me.

Slowly, I grabbed the sonic out of my jacket. I pointed at the Master, who was slowly backing away. "How will I die this time?"

"You won't, Master. You won't get sent back to the Time War, either. I'm going to get you away from Earth by giving you what you want."

He looked hopeful, raising his eyebrows. "And what exactly is that?"

"I'm going to send you to an alternate universe where you're the only person there. It's all yours: all the planets, moons, stars, everything. You'll even have Gallifrey for yourself. No one and nothing will ever interrupt you. It'll be extremely hard, if not impossible, to leave it."

"Can I request something for it?"

"It depends on what it is."

He stopped walking away. "I want you to come by once in a while."

I didn't speak for a moment. "I can try."

He smiled. This time, it wasn't that evil smile. It was a true smile. I pressed the button on my sonic, and he was gone.

"You showed mercy to the Master."

I looked forward. The six were awake. It was Nyssa who spoke. "I apologize for him," I said to end the stillness.

"But you probably sent him somewhere else for good. You're the first to do that."

Let's see how long it lasts... "Anyway, are you all alright?"

They nodded. "Thalia!" Donna called.

I looked at her. She was pointing at the place where I laid Eight down... But he wasn't there. "What happened?"

"I just looked and he was gone!"

My sight was locked on the ground. "Donna, I need you to find and call Grace Holloway from California... San Francisco, I think."

"Why?"

"Let her know that the Doctor died... But that the eighth regeneration may be back."

She grabbed out her phone and starting looking the name up. I went over to Ten and Twelve. Ten held me for a minute or two, and Twelve did the same. I walked over to everyone else to repeat: River, Ella, Josh, Lee, Rose (who had dropped the clothes to come to me), Martha, Amy, Romana, and the Doctors who were there, in numerical order.

I crossed the room, where Five and Four embraced me at the same time. Jenny came over and we shook hands. "Thanks for that one... Aunt?"

"That's good with me," as she walked away, I looked at his former companions. "I'm the Doctor's sister. Just call me Thalia."

"Thalia is a better, braver Time Lord than I am, as you can tell from that," Five told them.

"Doctor, I'm not..."

"Just don't listen to her on that," Four winked at me.

One by one, they came up to shake hands with me. When all was done, I turned to see if Donna had finished the call yet. She appeared to be, arms crossed over her chest and phone still in her hand. I walked over. "So, what happened?"

"Didn't speak to her. Spoke to her fiancée..."

"She's engaged?"

"I guess so. She's in Cardiff, now, actually. I told him what you said, and that she'd know what you meant. He's going to tell her."

"Alright... Was anything else said?"

"He asked if she should meet him somewhere. I told him that he'd find her."

I nodded. "Good."

"Would he? Find her?"

"I'd think so."

Jack came running in suddenly. "Thalia! The Doctor!"

"Which one? What happened?"

"Eleventh! He was shot by a guard!"

Everyone was running to see what happened, so I bushes to the front. Jack pointed for me to go upstairs.

"First floor."

"Ok. Everyone, go there," I pointed to the door to the other side of the building.

They followed my instruction. I ran up the stairs as fast as I could. After two flights, I saw the door to get onto the balcony.

The Doctor was laying down, motionless, besides for breathing. His clothes were heavily stained with blood coming from his lower chest. "Thalia," he gasped for air.

I knelt down. "Doctor..."

"Is Twelve gone?"

"No, Doctor," I shook my head. "You won't regenerate. I'm not losing two of you in one day."

"Just leave it. What does it mean if I regenerate? I just get a new body..."

"It means a ton for me. I loved this regeneration of yours. You... You were cool. You were so, so cool."

He smiled what would possibly be his last smile. "Thanks... I tried hard to be..."

"And you were. Doctor, this isn't how I remember you regenerating. You can't and won't die now, I swear."

"Then what'll happen?"

I looked down from the bars on the balcony. Everyone was looking up, seeing what I would do. I needed to save him some way.

"Thalia...?"

I turned my head back to him. His skin started glowing gold. I knew what was happening. I grabbed his hands as tight as possible. After as minute, I let go, and he stopped glowing.

"What did you...? You're..."

My arms were then golden. "You have the other four regenerations of mine, now."

"But you're going to regenerate now! You won't! You'll die! Why did you...?"

"Doctor, it's for you," I walked away and stepped onto the rail.

I was crouched down on the bar, hands holding it. I heard screams for me to get down. They were drowned out by the pain that came to me.

"Alright, everyone. You know I'm going. I just have one last thing to say to you all: you're welcome."

A/N: Thanks to MegaTigger98 for the follow!

Wondering "Is this the end?", reader? Well, no. Remember, the Doctor is still alive. The companions are. So I'll attempt to get a chapter from their POV.
