Chapter 42.

(Harry POV)

We came out the other side on Earth.

"Ow," I said.

"Oh Time travel without a capsule that's a killer," Dad said.

"Oh my head," Martha said.

"You okay," I said.

"Am now," Martha said.

As I got her as we started walking.

"Still, we made it, Earth, 21st century by the looks of it. Talk about lucky," Jack said.

"Wasn't luck, It was me," I said.

"The moral is, If you're gonna get stuck at the end of the universe, get stuck with an ex time agent and his vortex Manipulator," Jack said.

"Or someone with one," I said.

"But this Master bloke, He's got the Tardis, He could be anywhere in time and space," Martha said.

"No, He is here," Dad said.

"You jammed that circuit don't you," I said.

"Yeah," Dad said.

"What circuit," Martha said.

"There is a circuit on the Tardis which only let's someone go to and from the last 2 places they landed in this case. Here and back in 1 trillion," I said.

"Who is he any that voice at the end, that wasn't the professor," Martha said.

"If the Master is a Time lord like Dad, He must have regenerated," I said.

"What does that mean?" Martha said.

"It means he's changed his face, voice, body everything. A new man," Jack said.

"Then how are we gonna find him?" Martha said.

"I'll know him, the moment I see him," Dad said. "Timelords always do,"

"But Hold on if he could be anyone," Martha said.

"We missed the Election," I said.

"It can't be," Martha said.

"Mr. Saxon has returned from the palace, and is greeting the crowds inside Saxon headquarters," PA said.

"I said I knew that voice, When he spoke in the Tardis, I've heard that voice Hundreds of times we've all seen him," Martha said.

"That was the voice of Harold Saxon," I said.

"That's him, he's Prime Minister, The Master is Prime Minister of Great Britain. The master and his Wife," Dad said.

"This country has been Sick," Master said. "This Country needs healing, This country needs medicine, In fact I'd go so far as to say that what this country really needs right now is a Doctor,"

"Our Place. Now," I said. As we headed for Martha and I place.

Once we got there.

"Home," Martha said.

"Martha, That computer I got us get it," I said.

"Jack, Who are you phoning you can't tell anyone we are here," Dad said.

"Just some friends of mine but there's no reply," Jack said.

"Wait. What. Nothing from the Hab," I said.

"Nothing," Jack said.

"Where could they be," I said.

"Here," Martha said.

"I can pull up the Saxon website," Jack said taking it. "he's been around for ages,"

"It's the day after the election, That's only 4 days after I met you," Martha said.

"We went flying all around the universe," I said.

"While he was here all the time," Dad said.

"You gonna tell us who he is?" Martha said.

"He's a Time Lord," Dad said.

"What about the rest of it, I mean who'd call himself the master," I said. "Wasn't he the same guy you once told me about who tried to kill you and take you Regeneration energy,"

"That's all you need to know," Dad said.

"Former Minister of Defence, First came to Prominence when he shot down the Racnoss on Christmas Eve, nice work by the way, Harry told me that one," Jack said.

"Thanks," Dad said.

"But he goes back years, he's famous, Everyone knows the story," Martha said. "Look, Cambridge University, Rugby Blue, Won the Athletics thing, Wrote a novel went into business, Marriage, everything, he's got a whole life,"

"How could he do this in What could of been the longest he could of been here," I said.

"But he's got the Tardis, maybe the master went back in time, and has been living for decades," Jack said.

"No," Dad said.

"Why not? Worked for me," Jack said.

"When he was stealing the Tardis I fused the coordinates, locked them permanently," Dad said.

"So he could only go to and from, Here and the Year 100 Trillion," I said. "But what about leeway?"

"Well, 18 months, Tops the most he could have been here is 18 months," Dad said.

"But how could he manage this," I said.

"The master was always sort of hypnotic, but this on a massive scale," Dad said.

"I was gonna vote for him," Martha said.

"Really?" Dad said.

"Well, It was before I even met you, and I liked him," Martha said.

"Me too," Jack said.

"What?" I said.

"Why'd you say that?" Dad said. "What was his policy? What did he stand for?"

"I dunno he always sounded good, like you could trust him, Just nice, he spoke about, I can't remember but it was good, Just the sound of his voice," Martha said.

"What's that?" I said.

"What?" Martha said.

"You hands what were you doing," I said.

"I don't know it's nothing, I don't know," Martha said.

"Our lord and master is speaking to his kingdom," Dad said.

"You okay," I said.

"Yeah, What was it," Martha said.

"No Idea," I said. Hugging her.

"Britain, Britain, Britain," Master said. "What extraordinary times we've had, Just a few years ago, this world was so small, And then they came out of the unknown, Falling from the skies you've seen it happen, Big ben Destroyed, A Spaceship over London, All those ghosts and metal men, The Christmas Star, that came to kill, Time and time again, and the Government told you nothing, Well, not me, Not Harold Saxon, because my purpose here today is to tell you this, Citizens of Great Britain. I have been contacted, A message, for humanity from beyond the stars," Then Played it then. "Aw Sweet, and the species has identified itself, They called the Toclafane,"

"What, I thought they were myths," I said.

"Same," Dad said.

"And tomorrow morning they will appear, not in secret, but to all of you, Diplomatic relations with a new species will begin, Tomorrow, we take our place in the universe, Every man, woman, and child, every teacher and chemist and lorry driver and farmer and oh I don't know every medical student," Master said smiling and Dad turned around the TV.

"OUT!" I said as I saw the bomb and we got out and I managed to grabbed my gear and out. "You okay?"

"Yeah," Martha said. "If he knows about me then what about my family?"

"Don't Tell them anything," Dad said.

"I'll do what I like," Martha said. "Mum, oh my god, you're there, I'm fine, I'm fine, Mum has there been anyone asking about me? I can't not now, Don't be so daft since when, you'd never get back with him in a million years, Dad What are you doing there, Dad just answer me yes or no is there someone else there? Dad what's going on, Dad, I've gotta help them,"

"That's exactly what they want it's a trap," Dad said.

"I don't care," Martha said.

Then we got into the car and driven there.

"come on Tish Pick up," Martha said.

"Martha, Can't talk now, We've just made first contact did you see?" Tish said.

"Tish, Get out of there, Now," I said.

"Get off," Tish said.

"What's Happening Tish, It's your fault, it's all your fault," Martha said.

Then we got there.

"Martha, Reverse now, Jack," I said Grabbing his gun.

As We started to turn as they shot the back window and I manage to shot one in the knee.

"Yeah, that's right," I said passing it back to Jack.

"You better now of killed him," Dad said.

"Shot him in the knee he'll life," I said.

"Only place he could go is Planet Earth great," Martha said.

"Careful," Dad said.

"Martha we got to ditch this car pull over," I said as we found somewhere and stopped then Martha Phone Leo.

"Martha come on," Dad said.

"Leo. Thank god, You've got to listen to me, Where are you? Leo just listen to me, don't go home, I'm tell you, Don't phone mum, or Dad or Tish, you've gotta hide," Martha said. "On my life, you gotta trust me, Go to boxers, stay with him don't tell anyone just hide, Let them go Saxon Did you hear me let them go,"

Then Dad got the phone.

"He's got them," Martha said.

"We'll get them," I said.

"You can see us," Dad said Sonic a camera. "He's got control of everything,"

"We've got nowhere to go," Jack said.

"What do we do," Martha said.

"We Run," I said as we started running and didn't stop till we found somewhere.

When a few hours later, Martha and I went for food so we went to the chippy and got them and headed back to Dad and Jack.

"How was it," Jack said.

"Don't think anyone saw us, Anything new?" I said.

"I got this tuned into the government wavelength to see what Saxon's doing," Jack said.

"I meant about my family," Martha said.

"Still says the Jones family taken in for questioning, Tell you what though, No mention Leo," Dad said.

"He's not as daft as he looks," Martha said. "I'm talking about my brother on the run, How did this happen,"

"Nice chips," Jack said.

"Actually, they're not bad," Dad said.

"Alright Dad, Who is he?" I said.

"How come the Ancient Society of Time Lords created a psychopath," Jack said.

"And what is he to you? Like a colleague or?" Martha said.

"A friend, at first," Dad said.

"I thought you were going to say he was your secret Brother or something," Martha said.

"God, You had to say that, Making me wonder if he is my psychopathic Uncle, Not something I would want," I said.

"You've been watching to much TV," Dad said.

"All the legends of Gallifrey made it sound so perfect," Jack said.

"Well, Perfect to look at, Maybe," Dad said. "And it was, it was beautiful, They used to call it the shining world of the 7 Systems, and on the continent of Wild Endeavour In the mountains of Solace and Solitude, There stood the Citadel of the Time Lords, The oldest and most mighty race in the universe, Looking down on the Galaxies below, Sworn never to interfere, Only to watch. Children of Gallifrey are taken from they families at the age of 8 to enter the academy, Some say that's where it all began, When he was a child That's when the Master saw eternity, As a novice, he was taken for initiation, he stood in front of the Untampered Schism it's a gap in the fabric of reality, through which could be seen the whole of the vortex, You stand there, 8 years old, staring at the raw power of time and space, Just a child, Some would be inspired, Some would run away and some would go mad, o I don't know,"

"What about you?" I said.

"Oh, the ones that ran away, I never stopped," Dad said.

"Encrypted Channel with files attached, Don't recognise it," Jack said.

"Patch it through to the laptop," Dad said.

"Jack," I said.

"Um, since we're telling stories there's something I haven't told you," Jack said. Pulling it up.

"You work for torchwood," Dad said.

"It's changed, There's only half a dozen of us now," Jack said.

"After what Torchwood did and your are part of it," Dad said.

"Trust me, I did the same thing," I said.

"What?" Dad said.

"What else did you think, I was going to do too," I said. "Gave him the same thing,"

"The Old regime was destroyed at Canary Wharf, I rebuilt it, I changed it, and when I did that, I did it, For you in your honour, Both of us," Jack said.

"Torchwood 3 Cardiff," I said. "Cardiff Bay,"

"If I haven't returned to my desk by 22.00 this file will be emailed to Torchwood, which means if you're watching this then I'm. Anyway the Saxon files are attached, But take a look at the Archangel document, That's when it all started When Harold Saxon became minister in charge of launching the Archangel network," She said.

"What's the Archangel network," Dad said.

"We all have Archangel. The mobile Phone network Look, it's gone worldwide," I said.

"15 Satellites in orbit, Even the other networks they're all carried by archangel," Jack said.

"It's in the Phones, oh I said he was a hypnotist Wait, Wait, Wait, Hold on," Dad said Getting to to go, "There it is that rhythm, It's everywhere, ticking away in the subconscious"

"What is it Mind Control," Martha said.

"No, Subtler than that, Any stronger and people would question it," I said.

"But contained in that rhythm in layers of code, Vote Saxon Believe in me," Dad said.

"That's how he hid himself from us," I said.

"Yes, I should've sensed another Time Lord on Earth but the signal cancelled him out," Dad said.

"Anyway you can stop it?" Jack said.

"Not from down here," Dad said.

"but now we know how he is doing it and we can fight back," I said.

"Oh yes," Dad said.

Then Dad needed out keys of the Tardis but i had to so I know which on was which one was which. Then gave it to him.

"4 Tardis keys, with low level perception properties because the Tardis is designed to blend in," Dad said. "Well, sort of, but now, the Archangel Network's got a second low-level signal, Weld the key to the network and Martha look at me, you can see me, Yep?"

"Yep," Martha said.

"What about now," After Dad put it on I could see him, but Martha was couldn't.

Jack and I laughed.

"Hello I'm here," Dad said.

"It's like I know you're there but I don't want to know," Martha said.

"And back again," Dad said taking it off. "See, It just shifts your perception a tiny bit Doesn't make us invisible just unnoticed, It's like, When you fancy someone and they don't even know you exist, that's what it's like, Come on,"

"You to," Jack said.

"Come on," I said. Putting my arm around Martha as we headed out.

"Don't run, shout just keep your voice down, draw attention to yourself and the spell is broken," Dad said. "Just stick to the shadows,"

"Like Ghost," I said.

"Yeah that's what we are Ghosts," Dad said as we start going as I keep my hand on Martha's. Where we ended up on a airfield where He was there the Master. Then Martha's family was there. but I got her.

"Martha no, remember," I said.

"oh my god, I'm going to kill him," Martha said.

"I would use this perception filter and go around and snap his neck," Jack said.

"That sounds like Torchwood," Dad said.

"He is a threat to Earth Dad," I said. "I like that plan,"

"He's a time Lord makes him my responsibility," Dad said. "I'm not here to Kill him, I'm here to save him,"

"Aircraft Carrier Valiant, That's a UNIT Ship at 58.2 North, 10,02 east," Jack said.

"Does that act like a transporter," I said.

"Since you got it working again yeah, Coordinates set," Jack said.

As we beamed onboard.

"That thing is rough," Martha said.

"Oh I've had worse nights," Jack said. "Welcome to the Valiant,"

"It's dawn," Martha said. "Hold on I thought this was a ship. Where's the sea?"

"A ship for the 21st century, Protecting the skies of Planet Earth," I said.

Then we started moving.

"Wait," Dad said.

"What," I said.

"Shh," Dad said.

"We don't have time for sight seeing," Jack said.

"Shh," Dad said. "Can't you hear it?"

"Hear what?" I said.

"Doctor, My family's on board," Martha said.

"Brilliant," Dad said. "This way," As we took off running where we found a cargo bay where we found the Tardis. "Oh at last,"

"What is it doing on the Valiant," Jack said as we went in but she was all red.

"What the hell has he done," I said.

"Don't touch it," Dad said.

"Wasn't going to," I said.

"Sounds like it's sick," Martha said.

"It can't be, No, no, no, no, It can't be," Dad said.

"Dad, What is it?" I said.

"He has cannibalised the Tardis," Dad said.

"Is this what I think it is?" Jack said.

"It's a Paradox machine," Dad said.

"Great," I said. "Can't we pot stop it fix her up,"

"Soon as this hits red, it activates," Dad said.

"At that speed it'll trigger at 2 minutes past 8," I said.

"First contact is at 8. Then 2 minutes later," Jack said.

"What's it for?" Martha said. "What does a paradox machine do,"

"More importantly can we stop it?" I said.

"Not till I know what it's doing, Touch the wrong bit, blow up the solar system," Dad said.

"Then we've gotta get to the Master," Martha said.

"How we gonna stop him," Jack said.

"Oh I've got a way, Sorry, Didn't I mention it?" Dad said then we left.

"This plan you gonna tell us," Jack said.

"If I can get this around the Master's neck, Cancel out his perception, they'll see him for real," Dad said. "It's just hard to go unnoticed when everyone is on red alert, If they stop me, you've got a key,"

"Yes, Sir," Jack said.

"I'll get him," Martha said.

Then They showed up and then the Master makes his move and kills the President Winters, Then Dad tries to make his move but gets stopped.

"And look it's the girlie, the freak and one I don't know, I'm not sure which one's which," Master said.

Then Jack went and he got shot.

"Jack," I said. Going over.

"Laser screwdriver, who'd have sonic," Master said. "The good thing is he's not dead for long I get to kill him again,"

Then He did something that turn Dad old.

Then Jack came back.

"Harry, Martha, Get out of here," Jack said.

"We can't," Martha said.

"We can't stop him, We got to get out of here," I said.

Then Martha went over to Dad as I went to.

"Doctor, I've got you," Martha said.

"Ah, she's a would be Doctor, But Tonight, Martha Jones, We've flown them in all the way from prison," Master said as her Family was there.

"The Toclafane, What are they? Who are they?" Dad said

"Doctor, If I told you the truth, Your hearts would break," Master said then Back off. "2 minutes past, Now, So Earthlings, Basically, End of the world, Here come the drums," Then I saw the Sky open up. Then Thousands of them came through. "Remove 1 tenth of the population,"

"Dad what do we do," I said.

Then He said something to Martha. "Go," Dad said. "Get out of here,"

Then We got up and Next to each other. As Martha looked at her family. Then we used Jack Vortex and Transporters out of there down to the surface.

Seeing those things kill.

"What now?" Martha said.

"We're coming Back," I said. "Come on," As we took off out of there.

That's all for this chapter.

More to follow.

Stay tuned and safe.

Love Y'all

PEACE!
