To atrhoads05: I haven't seen Power of the Doctor yet, and I want to! But I need to find the season before, watch that then find a way to watch Power of the Doctor. However, I have seen some clips from it, as well as part of the regeneration scene with David, and I will admit, I may have yelled out loud at that :D. I definitely am both very excited, and very worried about Doctor Who coming to Disney Plus, Im excited because it will be so much easier for people to watch the show, but also worried about what Disney will want to do with the show, I've heard a few people say that Disney will be giving the show a bigger budget, but also turning it more toward the direction of Hollywood. I don't know for sure if that will happen, but some people are predicting it, and I just really hope they leave it to the the team already working on it. (I also love the new/old log! I have a shirt with the original version, on it, and now people may actually recognize what it is XD)

To Artemis Sherwood: I wanted to save Chantho before I even had any other plans for this chapter :) and with Yana's/the Masters obsession with her, I've always loved the bad guy is in love with the protagonist trope, and the Master is already such an insane character, they're so fun to write! And I had to find a way for the Master to still get injured enough to regenerate as Chantho didn't do it, so Rosie attacking in self defense seemed the best choice, and I do think she has a pretty dark side to her, she tries to stay good, only wanting to help or de-escalate situations, but there are times she is forced into the role of protector or attacker, fighting back to protect herself or others, and she definitely isn't squeamish about getting her hands dirty, and in future episodes/chapters, I will be going into depth over why and how she came to have this darker side, as some of it involves her family from her universe :) Im so glad you're enjoying these as well, this next chapter is where the fun begins (and by fun, I mean absolute insanity for the characters XD)

To grapejuice101: Rosie definitely isn't ready for it! And she also isn't ready for a few people she will meet again in these chapters! Also! Thank you for the offer of help, if I ever need it, I will contact you :D and I haven't seen Power of the Doctor yet sadly, I don't have a place to watch it yet, and before I see that, I need to watch the most recent season before, as I don't want to miss anything.

Alright! Now ,I have an idea for a chapter coming soon after this set of chapters, and I need help on deciding something, but I will only ask for you to choose a number from a few I will put at the bottom of this chapter, choose one or two of the numbers, and then I will tally up and see which had the most votes!

You all will find out which won when that chapter comes out!

On from that, I am currently teaching myself to tattoo, and I have the overwhelming urge to do the main clock tattoo from this story on my wrist! It's so fricken temping -_- (also, I have about 15 hobbies and I cycle through them on a regular basis, tattooing is the newest addition)

Now onto the actual story stuff, I am putting a warning here, as there is going to be some heavy stuff. Torture, pain, heartbreak and possibly death in this chapter, as well as the Master being his usual creepy self.

Let's get into this shit show!

I run as hard as I can, my mangled and bruised hand still held to my chest protectively.

I take a sharp turn an slide into the wall, wincing I continue on, not stopping as I could hear his footsteps behind me, even as I could feel the Tardis trying to let me escape him, but it seemed his telepathic energy was messing with her worse than I thought possible.

I take a corner too sharply, my shoulder colliding with the wall, sending me spinning and nearly hit the ground, but I manage to grab the wall and stay on my feet.

"Shitshitshit" I whisper, moving down the hallway again quickly, trying to find my way somewhere that could be safe, someplace he couldn't find me.

I come skidding around another corner only to stop quickly, falling to my butt as I see the Master standing at the end of the hallway, smirking as he watches me.

"I told you. You can't run, Flower" he sneers.

I jump to my feet, glaring at him, still holding my hand to my chest "I won't stop running, or fighting, I'm not going easily" I snap.

"Oh I look forward to it, dear Flower. Now be a good girl and come with me. Or I may have to use force" he starts by sounding sickeningly sweet and ends in a dangerous growl.

I narrow my eyes "you already used force, and you don't scare me" I spit, taking a step back, his eyes darken.

"We both know you are very afraid of me. Now I'll say it one more time, come with me" he says, smiling sweetly.

I hesitate, staring at him as my heart raced 'what do I do...?'

I glance past him then back behind me, everything in me wanting to run, but would it just turn out worse in the end?

As I face him again, I can see his smirk widening, he knew he had me corned.

I sigh shakily and sink to my knees, hands in my lap as I hear him coming closer "good girl. You will be happy you chose this path" he says, sounding genuinely happy, if not a little deranged as well.

He moves to crouch down to my level and I take my chance, launching myself up, the top of my head colliding with his chin, sending him spluttering back and onto his ass.

I race past him, heading for the console room, and as I run I can hear him calling after me, but it seemed the Tardis had managed to give me an extra few seconds.

I make it to my destination and speed past the console, hearing a click as I go, and when I get to the door, I unlock the first lock and just pray it would open.

And to my relief, it's unlocked and I get the door open, sprinting out onto the cement of a back alley in a large city, I can hear people talking and cars driving past and normal everyday life on earth.

I nearly let out a sob as I step out onto the street.

Glancing back I can see the Master just now opening the door, so I take off again, racing down the street and toward more populated places, going into the very heart of the city.

After a few minutes of nonstop running, I collapse on a bench in a heavily populated area, panting and slightly shaking.

I finally now have time to look down at my throbbing hand.

I grimace as I see the dark purple, black and green bruises covering my left hand and wrist, making it almost look like I didn't even have any tattoos.

I hesitate before gently pressing my thumb into the palm of my hand, grimacing as I could tell something was probably broken, or at the least, cracked, as it was very sore and a jolt of pain flashed through it with any pressure.

Leaning back in the bench, I close my eyes and let out a shaky breath, trying to calm down for a few minutes, but I knew I couldn't stay long, so I get up and quickly continue on down the street, glancing around to look for a possible hiding place or a hospital to get my hand checked out.

I walk for a while, it felt like hours, and then I start to feel off, like I'm dreaming, I start to feel drowsy and I stumble, leaning against the wall of a building, only for everything to flicker, and I'm suddenly back in the Tardis's hallway.

I spin around as the Master laughs darkly from behind me.

"You thought I would just let you go? I know you're smarter than that" he sneers, I glare back.

"You should also know that I won't stop fighting, I won't ever stop running. I've had enough practice of that over these years here" I retort before taking off yet again, however, after turning two corners, I come to a skidding stop at the end of the next hallway, finding a steep drop in front of me, before I realize it's the next hallway, only straight up and down, completely vertical.

I huff but it doesn't stop me, so I try to ignore the pain in my hand as I begin climbing the wall, very glad for the many indents and struts and other protrusions along these walls.

I make it a good forty feet up before I hear the Master's voice, booming all around me, making me nearly lose my balance.

"Enough! I don't have the patience for your childish games anymore, Flower. It's time you grow u and accept the facts"

I laugh harshly, leaning back against the wall, my throbbing hand pressed to my chest "if anyone's being childish in this situation, it's not me. If you weren't so childish, you'd have stopped and listened to what the Doctor has to say!" I yell back.

He laughs darkly and then suddenly the lights all go out, I grab a pole beside me for support, the entire place now pitch black, I take a few deep breaths to try and calm myself, though it wasn't working well.

"You are so nieve, so young, Poor Foreseer, she can't see" he sneers before suddenly I'm in a bright white room, empty of anything but a door behind me.

I glare around "what are you planning? Are you just going to leave me here while you set up a plan?" I ask angrily.

He laughs "I will be keeping you here, and that is all you need to know" he says before going silent, for some time I try to leave the room, trying to get through the door, and yelling until my throat was raw.

Hours later I give up and sit in the corner of the room, pulling the hood of my jacket up to cover my face so I could block out the light and get a bit of rest.

After what felt like only ten or fifteen minutes, I groan awake to the sound of banging on the door, I jump and stand quickly, pressing my back into the corner as I stare at the door, heart racing and still feeling muddled from sleep.

After a moment of silence, the door opens and in steps the Master, in a new nice suit, smirking, I grimace back.

"What do you want?" I snap, he chuckles and snaps his fingers, a table and two chairs appear in the middle of the room, one chair on each side of the table.

"Come and sit, I have a proposition for you" he seems to order.

I shake my head, glaring at him "like I'd make any kind off deal with you" I snap.

He sits and leans back comfortably in his chair, watching me silently for a few moments before that sickly sweet smile comes to his lips.

"I think you'll find you have no choice in the matter. Either you listen to my deal, or I force you to do as I say anyways" he says with a much darker undertone.

I stay in my corner but gulp nervously and finally nod a little "what is this deal?"

"I want you to be my wife" he says, a slight smile still there, as he watched me like a hawk.

I stare at him with wide eyes, feeling like my mind couldn't keep up with this right now "I...excuse me...? Are you so deluded that you thought I'd agree to that?" I ask.

He laughs darkly "not deluded. A genius, My Flower. I will need a wife to fit into the human world. And I choose you" he says.

I shake my head quickly "no way in hell. I'm not helping you, ever. You can do what ever you want to me, but I will not give you any help at all, you have to do your evil plots yourself" I snap, moving to hold my bruised hand to my chest again, glaring at the now obviously annoyed Master.

"Must you be so negative and stubborn?" He asks angrily.

I nod, holding my head high "if it's against you, absolutely" I retort.

He looks me directly in the eye and after a moment I realize what he's trying to do, making me laugh out loud "I don't think any brainwashing will work on me Koschei. I know your tricks and even with you brought back from death, I am far more clever than you give me credit for" I say smugly, making him glare at me now.

"If you're so clever, Dear Flower, then answer me this: why are you here?" He asks, making me pause.

"Well I'm here because you kidnapped me" I retort.

He shakes his head, his dangerous smirk returning "you have no idea..." he suddenly laughs as he stands "oh you'll find out someday, as soon as you remember"

He walks to the door then turns back around "oh, and don't think you will be able to go anywhere, your precious Tardis is under my control, and will be changing quite rapidly soon" he smirks.

I glare back angrily, not wanting to focus on anything he just said, brushing it off as him trying to play mind games with me.

"Don't build the paradox machine, it will destroy the universe!" I snap, making him laugh again.

"Oh, but what if thats exactly what I want? I want to destroy him. I want to take everything he has ever loved, and burn it before his very eyes"

I rush forward and grab the chair on my side, swinging it around and launching it at him as hard and fast as I could, but he jumps back and slams the door closed behind him, the chair uselessly hitting the door then the floor.

I sigh tiredly and move back to my corner, trying to not let his words get to me.

After that, a clock appeared on the wall above the door, saying the date and time, though it was moving faster than it should have for a normal clock, but every few days (by the clocks date) a plate of food would appear on the table, along with a glass of water.

At first I didn't touch any of it, but after I started to get sick from not eating, I gave in and quietly took the plate, moving back to the corner, I didn't trust the bed that had appeared on the other side of the room either, too close to the door for my taste, so I had taken the small pillow and thin blanket to the corner.

After what only felt like a few days, the clock reads that it had been a month since I had been locked up, and I soon hear a knock at the door, I push away the plate of half picked at food and stare at the door as its soon opened, the Master comes in, smirking his usual shit eating smirk.

But this time he holds his hand out to someone I couldn't see, then she comes in, taking his hand and smiling seductively to him.

My eyes widen 'oh shit...'

I get to my feet cautiously, watching them both nervously, I felt like a cornered animal.

I gulp quietly "you've already found a wife then..." I say, more of a statement than anything.

He smirks to me as he wraps his arm around her waist, pulling her closer "I have" he directs his next words to Lucy.

"This is the girl I was telling you about. She has thus far refused to cooperate, so she is kept in this room" he explains, I put my hands in my pockets to hide their slight shaking and the bruises.

"You know, Lucy. I know you won't leave him, but just...watch yourself around him, he isn't who you think" I say seriously, though my voice was a little rough.

"Oh I know who he is. Exactly who he is" she retorts haughtily.

"I know you think you know, I know you are aware of his name, and that he is not human, I know what he has shown you...but I also know who he is. I've known him for years, thousands of years, maybe more. I know what he has done, I've seen the destruction this one man can bring..."

I'm interrupted as he shouts "enough!" Almost making her jump in surprise.

I smirk at him "what? Am I ruining you're mysterious loving husband facade?" I snap back.

But suddenly the walls begin to close in on me, pressing me closer toward them across the room, I try to press back against it but it doesn't give in, pushing me quickly toward them both, the chairs and table shoved out of the way.

I try to skid my boots to slow down as well, but I'm soon standing right in front of them, my heart racing.

"You may want to keep quiet, Flower" he growls lowly, I glare at him, my back still pressed to the wall.

"Now, do you want to come and see what I've been up to? Could get you out of this prison of yours" he says, now acting casual as if I wasn't a prisoner.

"No, thank you. I already know what you're doing Harold" I sneer, before grimacing.

"Ok, no, Koschei sounds better" I say, wanting to anger him just a little, see how he would react in front of his new wife.

He simply smirks "well, then enjoy your self imposed prison" he retorts before they leave, the wall disappearing as the door closes, the room back to the same size and shape as before, I let out a shaky breath and relax a little.

On the 6th day by my count, ignoring the clocks two and a half months, I wake up to suddenly sitting in a body of water, the room had begun to fill with cold water, and it was already nearly up to my knees, I jump to my feet, gasping and looking around in shock.

The water is coming from a large hole in the ceiling, pouring in way faster than I liked.

I run and jump up on to the table, shaking from the cold water that I had been in, and in a blind panic.

"What the hell are you doing?!" I yell desperately, my voice shrill and quaking as I stand on the metal platform.

I get no response and the water continues to rise, though now I could see there was something in the water, something large that makes it's way around the table.

Tears of fear prick my eyes as I follow the shape with my eyes, wrapping my arms around myself to try and retain a little body heat.

The water continues to rise, the chairs starting to float and the water now lapping over the table and onto my soaked boots.

I look up desperately, wanting to get out by the hole in the ceiling, but it was far too high, the ceiling being at least 20 feet above the ground.

I yelp as the thing brushes against the table, shaking it slightly, I look around for a plan, only to see the floating chairs.

I reach out very carefully and grab one, putting it onto the table and I try to grab the other one, but it's out of my reach, so I grab the one chair I had, taking a deep breath to calm myself.

Then I wait, waiting for a few minutes as the shape swims away then back toward the table, and when it's close enough, I prod at it with the chair legs, only to scream in shock as the large creature suddenly shoots up, launching itself at me from the water, it looked like a small Mosasaur, only it seemed a little shorter.

I use the chair to direct it's attack back into the water, tears blurring my vision as I keep the chair held up in defense.

After the water had gotten to about my shin height while I stood on the table, the water stopped pouring in, leaving me stranded as the hole closes, I climb onto the chair, sat on top of the table, trying to calm down and figure out the best thing to do.

"I bet you think this is funny!" I yell angrily after a while, I hadn't let my eyes off the creature as it continued to circle me, obviously hunting me.

'this feels like it comes from an episode of Primeval!'

I hear cruel laughter and then Koshei comes through a com system "do you like my little friend? Picked it up when I took my lovely wife to the end of the universe. Thought you could use a friend" he taunts.

"So you caught a dinosaur from the end of the universe, just to pull this shit on me?" I snap angrily, I was freezing as I couldn't change out of my wet clothing.

"I believe people of your time would call it a future kind of a Halisaurus. Albeit, it did come from a different planet. So probably not actually related to your planets creatures" he explains, sounding like it was just a casual conversation between coworkers.

"I'm touched you were thinking of me while on a trip with your wife" I sneer, watching the shadow swim under the table, bumping it again and making me grip onto the chair for support.

"You have a limited time dear Flower. I'd suggest you find a way to survive your new friend, perhaps killing the beast will be the best idea for you" he laughs.

I grimace and shake my head "no way, the poor thing doesn't deserve to die because you're an asshat" I snap back.

"Then I supposed you're stuck here for now" he retorts.

I shake my head as he goes silent, I watch the shadow quietly for a while, noticing it didn't seem to come for me if it didn't see me in the water itself.

I wait for a few hours, thinking of plans, and I finally set on one, I take my boots off and my jacket, before I take the laces from the boots, tying them each to one of the sleeves of the jacket, then I climb carefully into the water, standing on the table again.

I see the creature turn toward my direction from it's route of circling the walls of the room.

I jump back onto the chair and it starts circling the table, seeing what I'd do next.

I wait a few moments before going for it, I drop back into the water, tying one of the strings to one of the legs of the table, moving quickly so it couldn't turn around and get at me in time, then I jump back onto the chair, shivering at the cold water.

It circles much closer now, bumping into the table legs again and again, then I see my next opportunity, I take a deep breath and hold in a scream as I jump into the deep water, opening my stinging eyes under the water as I held my breath, watching the creature turn swiftly toward me.

I pray this would work in my head, then it lunges, I manage to get it to launch through my jacket, making it look rather ridiculous, wearing a jacket, but I don't have time to laugh, nor breath, as it bites at me, its front flippers stuck against it's body by the jacket, then I swing it around and as one arm is already tied to the table, I push the writhing creature under the table, tying the other lace to the farthest leg of the table, making the creature trapped.

I gasp as I make it out of the water, gasping as I climb onto the top of the table, the whole thing shaking from the movement of the creature, I cough out a bit of water, catching my breath now, feeling freezing but glad I didn't hurt the thing.

Then I realize if it was indeed like an earthly Mosasaur, then it probably breathed air "shit.."

I jump back into the water, even as my limbs felt numb from the cold, I look at the creature as it tried desperately to get free, bubbles coming from its nose and mouth, so I breach the water again before I do something risky.

I move to the long side of the table and push it over, jumping out of the way of the things teeth.

It continues to writhe around but I manage to get the table turned over, flipping it up so it's floating on the surface of the water, the future Halisaurus is on its back at an awkward angle, flailing its tail and fins around in an attempt to turn over, so I move behind it, standing on the chair so I could get a little more leverage, then I gently begin to spin the creature within the jacket.

Using its back hips and fins, I spin it over to lay on its belly in the jacket still, and that seems to calm it a little.

I let out a shaky sigh, gently patting the things tail "sorry bud, that wasn't fun for either of us" I say softly, it just responds with a growl and a smack of its tail against my arm, I wince as the sting from the slap was worse because it was so cold.

I go to grab the other chair and stack them precariously on each other, getting me up and out of the water again, but I couldn't help but sit there and just shiver, watching the disgruntled Dino try to figure out how to escape the trap, though no amount of wiggling was going to get it free.

After another quiet 30 minutes I hear the coms come to life again "how in the hell did you subdue it!" The Master asks angrily, I smirk and look up to the ceiling.

"Told you I was clever, didn't I?" I snark.

Suddenly a door opens up on the wall, higher than the level of the water, and the Master comes to the door, pulling something out of his pocket before I realize what it is.

"No!" I shout, leaping into the cold water but I'm too late, the Master had fried the poor reptilian beast, using his laser screwdriver, the beast stops moving and lays limp and dead on the still floating table.

I glare up at him as he watches with a smirk "you always assume you can save everyone. That you can change things. But really, you are responsible for more deaths than you could ever count. You and I are more alike than you want to admit, just like the Doctor" he drawls.

I shake my head, glaring up at him, my hand on the table to stop it from floating away "no, you are unhinged, a selfish man. I try to help, and so does the Doctor, you just want anarchy and pain and destruction!" I growl angrily.

"If I was like you, I'd revel in this creatures death, as you are right now. I care for things, you don't"

He rolls his eyes "keep telling yourself that. But we both know the truth" he sneers before stepping back and closing the door.

I flip off the door in anger before sighing and letting my head fall for a moment, before I jump as the water begins to lower.

I shiver as the rest of the water flows out of the room, leaving me cold and wet and alone again.

I drag the poor Dino's body to a corner, untying it and laying the table down in front of it, so I couldn't see it from anywhere in the room, then I pull my shoes back on, re-lacing them quietly as I try to not start crying.

Everything of the last week was beginning to weigh heavy on me, I felt like I needed to sleep for a week, and scream my lunges out, and punch something, all at the same time.

I collapse in the corner farthest from the door again, curling up and closing my eyes, just wanting to melt into the floor, to hibernate for years.

The next thing I know, a loud siren is going off, I launch to my feet, wide eyes looking around at the same white room I'd been in for a while, and I realize the clock on the wall had sped up, it now said it had been 18 months.

I shake my head and rub my eyes, seeing if it really said that, and it still read the same time, though I knew I didn't actually sleep that long.

I look toward the door as the siren had stopped now, and soon the door opens, to a group of soldiers with guns, I yelp and jump back, they surround me and I press my back to the corner, heart racing as I stare.

"Prisoner 0 is secured" one of the men says over a radio on his shoulder, making me smirk mentally for just a moment, I take a deep breath and cross my arms, looking at them casually.

"Zero? Really? Couldn't think of something more interesting? Or a better code name? Zero is so boring" I grumble.

Two guards approach, both putting their guns on their backs, and moving closer, one pulling out handcuffs.

"Don't cause any trouble. Saxon has already told us how dangerous you are. Can't pull any of your mind control tricks on us" the head man says from behind the two men beside me.

I smirk and hold my wrists out toward them, the bruises had turned a nasty yellow and green and purple.

They get the cuffs on me, then they usher me out, two armed guards in front, one on each side of me, their hand closest to me on my shoulders, then two behind, all with some form of gun out, on the ready as they walk me out of the room, down a much larger Tardis hallway and out into the storage room, then the hallways of the aircraft carrier, The Valiant, all without somehow going through the console room.

We stop at a set of doors, and then a second pair of larger handcuffs is put on my wrists, making me wince at the pressure of them, but I don't make a sound, and the soldiers are silent as they worked, then the head guy comes to stand in front of me, all of their faces were covered with balaclavas.

I smile up at him calmly, determined to not show how raw I felt, how easily I could be broken right now.

"Where to next captain?" I ask.

"Bring her in but keep her in the back of the room" the man says to his men, who all nod silently.

I huff dramatically "you guys are no funnn" I get interrupted as one man shoves me forward as we start moving again, going through the double doors and down a much shorter hallway, and then we turn right and go through a pair of sliding doors, and my heart sinks in to my stomach.

I'm standing in the deck of the carrier, the Master and his wife sitting at the main table, watching as the president of the United States gets ready for the tv broadcast to introduce the human race to the Toclafane.

My mouth goes dry and I feel a panic attack coming on quickly, I stop in my tracks and have to be shoved to the side, so we were near the back corner, behind the Master, where I knew the Doctor, Jack and Martha should be standing soon.

I close my eyes and try to talk myself down from the panic, my heart racing in my ears, hands shaking and I could feel tears trying to come forth, but I manage to keep them held back.

I look up again and try to focus on whats happening, glancing around to see who all was there, and to my shock, I see the boy I had saved at Lazarus labs, sitting beside the Master and his wife, dressed well, though he seemed a little tense and thin.

I stare at him for a few moments, then I see the Master smile to the boy, and then Lucy reaches over and places her hand on the boys, smiling and speaking to him quietly.

'A kid...the same kid...is he actually the Master's..?'

I shake my head for a moment to try and focus back on everything else, but now I knew something was different, would my knowledge be useless now?

The president moves up the front steps and stops at the railings on the first landing, facing the camera in the corner, getting ready for the speech.

I hold my breath and watch with wide eyes.

"My fellow Americans. Patriots. People of the world. I stand before you today as ambassador for humanity. A role I will undertake with the 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" the President begins, and out of the corner of my eye I see the Doctor, Jack and Martha enter the room, unbeknownst to everyone else.

I supposed I noticed them because I knew they would be there, so the perception filter was weaker to me.

I glance over and meet eyes with Jack first, who's staring at me in shock, I make the slightest shake of my head, not wanting him to freak out, or the Doctor to freak out either.

I look back ahead, heart racing now as I try to keep calm, not wanting to draw attention to my friends.

I focus back in on the broadcast, trying not to listen to my friends plans.

"And I ask you now, I ask of the human race, join with me in welcoming, our friends. I give you, the Toclafane" the president finishes, turning and gesturing just as a few of said things appears around him.

I glance toward the others and my heart stops as I see the Doctor, rather than going for the Master, he was coming toward me, I meet his gaze with wide eyes, shaking my head a little, begging him to not go for me, this was too dangerous, but I could see in his eye I couldn't stop him.

The Oncoming Storm was raging in those brown orbs.

I see past him that Jack was moving toward Saxon now.

I raise my hands just enough for the Doctor to see that I'm currently trapped, we all ignore as the president talks with the Toclafane.

But as they ask for the Master, he finally stands up "oh, alright then. It's me" everyone freezing, the Doctor about five feet from me, a few guards in his way, and Jack silently jumps back and away as the Master stood, not wanting to touch him yet, in case something went wrong.

"Tada!" He laughs with as much dramatics as he can.

"Sorry. Sorry, I have this affect. 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 says animatedly.

The president looks pissed now as he faces him "Saxon, what are you talking about?"

The Master turns to him, crossing his arms over his chest, acting slightly nonchalant "I'm taking control, Uncle Sam. Starting with you" the Master looks to one of the Toclafane beside him and orders "kill him"

The Toclafane does so by hovering forward a bit and shooting him with a laser, bursting him into dust in a millisecond.

Everyone in the room cries out in shock and fear, many leaping back to get out of the firing line, even the guards around me jumped a little.

The Master's guards hold guns at everyone, making sure no one ran.

He begins laughing maniacally and clapping rapidly, he turns toward his wife and presumably son, she looks into his craziness while the boy just watches the pile of dust that used to be the president.

"Guards! No body move. No body move!" He calls out loudly before jumping up the steps to where the president had been, he leans forward, one hand on each railing as he glowers down at the people in the room, and everyone we know is watching.

"Now then! Peoples of the earth, please attend carefully" he says just before I see the Doctor rushing forward, desperate to get to the Master, to stop him, but he's grabbed by two guards quickly.

"No!" I yell, stepping forward to try and stop him, but it was too late, and some of the people in the room look to me quickly, shocked to see me, dirty and bruised and still a little damp, with the large handcuffs on my wrists, and surrounded by soldiers/guards.

The guards grab my shoulders and hold me in place before a sudden hard shock is sent through the metal of my bigger pair of handcuffs, causing me to flinch and grind my teeth, trying not to make a sound.

"We meet at last Doctor" the Master drawls, smiling and obviously happy about all of this, he bows his head quickly with a laugh before standing back up again "I love saying that"

"Stop this! Stop it now!" The Doctor pleads, fury and pain in those words spoken through clenched teeth.

"As if a perception filter gonna work on me" he sneers down at the Doctor "and look, it's the girly and the freak" he continues, his wife and son moving to stand to the Masters right hand side, standing on the stairs a little under him, I look to the boy, but he's staring at the Doctor with wide eyes, I could see tears there, though he blinks a few times and looks away.

"Although, Im not sure which ones which" as he finishes Jack makes a run for him.

"Jack! No!" I yell, but against it's too late, the Master has pulled out his laser screwdriver and shot him straight in the chest, sending Jack to the floor, dead, Martha runs to kneel beside him in worry.

"Laser screwdriver. Who'd have sonic?" He teases the Doctor.

"And the good thing is, he's not dead for long. I get to kill him again!" He says manically.

"Master. Just calm down. Just look at what you're doing. Just stop! If you could see yourself" the Doctor pleads.

The Master looks to the camera still broadcasting everything to the world.

"Do excuse me, a bit of personal business, back in a minute" he says before coming down the stairs "let him go" he tells the guards, and they listen, dropping the Doctor to the floor.

"It's that sound, the sound in your head. What if I could help?" The Doctor asks quickly.

"Oh how to shut him up" the Master sneers, using his hand to mime talking, then he looks back down at him "I know, memory lane!" He then sits down on the steps, leaning foreword to be more in the Doctor's face.

"Professor Lazarus. Remember him? And his genetic manipulation device. Did you think 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"

He pauses and makes an odd sad face "but...oooh, but if only I had the Doctor's biological code" he mourns, tapping his fingers to his mouth in thought before he lights up again "oh, wait a minute" he snaps his fingers then stands "I do!" He walks to the side of the room and opens a metal briefcase on a table.

"I've got his hand! And if Lazarus made himself younger" the Master continues, I start to strain against the guards hold on me.

"Don't you dare Koschei!" I yell angrily, my heart rate spiking now, he simply sneers in my direction before looking to his screwdriver and inputting what he needed.

"What if I reverse it? Another...hundred years?" He then points the screwdriver at the Doctor and I watch in absolutely horror as the Master twists the Doctor's dna, changes his biology and speeds it up in such a painful way.

I pull on my restraints, trying to get free, maybe I could stop this.

I shove one hand off my shoulder and the other hand falls as I wrench away, managing to take only one or two steps before I'm tackled to the ground from another guard, hitting the ground hard with the weight of the man on top of me, I try to shove him off as I look to the Doctor, not ten feet from me, aging in one of the most painful ways possible.

The guard sits up and drags me to my feet as the Doctor's transformation is complete, leaving him much older and weaker, I make eye contact with him for a moment before Martha crawls to him and helps him sit up a little, very worried as well.

I try to shove off the guards rough hold on me, but he's far too strong.

"Awww, she's a wound-be Doctor" the Master sneers at her.

"But tonight, Martha Jones" he taunts as he crouches down in front of her and the Doctor "we've flown 'em in, all the way from prison!" He exclaims, pointing toward the back doors with his full hand.

I glance toward Martha's family as they are all brought in, struggling as well for a moment.

I look back to the Doctor, not knowing what else to do, he meets my gaze solemnly, I could see the exhaustion and defeat there in his eyes, only making tears come to my own.

I glare past him now to the Master as he made fun of the family reunion happening, then the Doctor speaks up again.

"The Toclafane. What are they?" He asks, his voice quiet and tired.

The Master crouches down in front of him, gesturing to his own ear to say to speak again.

"Who are they?" The Doctor asks again.

"Doctor, if I told you the truth" he presses his hand to the Doctor's chest "your hearts would break"

"Is it time? Is it ready?" One of the Toclafane asks as the Master stands back up.

"Is the machine singing?" Another asks, while the Master checks his watch.

"Two minutes past" he climbs back up the stairs to stand beside his wife and son, the son seemed to be staring into space for a moment before he seems to notice I'm looking, as he looks to meet my eyes and I'm startled again at the gaze that meets my own, it was...almost familiar, like I had seen those eyes in a dream.

I jump and look back to the Master as he shouts "so! Earthlings. Basically, um...end of the world" he says as if he's simply introducing a new product to someone.

He holds up his screwdriver and shouts " Hear come the drums!" And thats when the song begins, and I can feel that same off feeling I had felt over the last week or so, watching as the Master and his wife move to stand by one of the windows, looking out as the Toclafane descend from the massive hole ripped through time and space.

I look to the Doctor and Martha shakily, another guard comes to help the man holding me, as the Master orders his so called children, to wipe out one tenth of the population.

Martha slowly stands as she holds the vortex manipulator, looking between the Doctor, Jack, her family then me, I give her a soft nod, telling her to go, and so she does.

As the coms of The Valiant are filled with people screaming, and begging for help, not one of us looks out the windows, knowing the horror that we'd see now.

The Master comes to the Doctor and drags him to his feet, him and his wife however, want the Doctor to watch, so he forces him to, holding him by the window "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 maniac recites it as if it's his own bible, as if he thought himself a god, though he absolutely does believe he is.

"Let him go" I snap angrily, pulling on the guards again.

They shove the Doctor into a chair as the Master turns to me finally, smirking.

"Now, I have a surprise for you, My Flower" he says excitedly.

I frown more "I don't want a surprise from you, it always turns out bloody in the end" I growl back, he smirks darkly now.

"Oh it doesn't always, but most of the time, I agree" he snickers to himself before moving to stand by the stairs again, gesturing toward the guards holding me "let her go, and take those handcuffs off, she can't do anything now"

I glare at him as they let me go, hesitantly removing the cuffs before stepping back, I rub my sore wrists a little, wanting to move toward the Doctor or Jack, but the Master holds up his hand to stop me.

"Now wait a minute. You stay right there, it's the perfect place" he says seriously, though I could see the sick joy he was getting out of all of this.

But I obey, staying standing where the guards had left me.

He smiles sickeningly sweet "I haven't even shown you my ace in the hole yet"

I frown more "what ace...?" I ask hesitantly.

He then gestures for the boy to come to him, the Master places him a little in front of himself, his hands on the young teens shoulders, which I can see are as stiff as a board.

I narrow my eyes at him as he continues "go ahead, introduce yourself to My Flower" the Master says cheerily.

Though the boy looks terrified, pale and with wide scared eyes, tears welling in them as he gulps, trying to stay calm.

"M-my name is Jon Peter Smith" the poor boy gets out, his voice a little choked from hidden tears he was trying to suppress.

The Master smirks at me "and tell her who you are" he tightens his grip a little on the boys shoulders, I frown more 'didn't he just do that...?'

The boy hesitates, gulping again and the Master speaks "go on, aren't you scared? And so who does a scared child run to first?" The Master taunts, my heart still racing.

I meet the boys gaze, and there were now tears streaking down his face "Mom...I'm scared" he whimpers out, and then my dreams hit me, the voice, the child who had been crying out for help...

Everything seems to stop for a moment as I stared in disbelief and shock, then the Master reaches down and grabs a necklace chain the boy had around his neck, and he takes it off, causing the Doctor to gasp and stare at the boy as well, and as it was lifted off, I get hit with a wave of fear, pure terror, and I knew in that moment, this boy, Jon peter Smith, was telling the truth.

I take a slow step forward, I could feel the boys emotions, or at least a little of them, like with mine and the Doctor's connection, only deeper, as if ingrained into my very being.

"I suppose this should be a happy family reunion. But I'm getting a bit bored" the Master says casually before suddenly pulling out his screwdriver and pressing the end to my sons neck, sending a bolt of light into his skin.

Jon's eyes stare at me wide in fear and pain before he begins to collapse, the Doctor tries to help, to catch him, but he's far to weak to move much at all.

I race forward, only to see the Master point it to Jon again and he shoots a laser right into his chest as he falls.

I reach him just in time to catch him, falling to my knees as tears spill from my eyes, I cradle the boy shakily to me and he clings to me, shaking and gasping for breath as the shot to the neck had left a bad burn there, and his chest was a sizzling mess of burnt skin, the fabric of his shirt burning away from the shot point.

"Mom, please" the boy pleads, pressing his face against me as he tries to hide, so I pull him closer, into my lap almost, my own tears wetting his short brown hair.

"Shhh, it's ok, it will all be ok, I promise" I whisper shakily.

He cries against me as I can feel his pain, his heartbreak and fear.

After a moment I feel the Doctor sat beside me now, one hand on Jon's arm, the other holding himself off the ground.

"Jon, it will be alright" he croaks out shakily, though I could see him losing strength fast.

"Awww, what a cute little family. Too bad it will be the last time you see each other" the Master chuckles.

I glare up at him, my hate for him skyrocketing, I just wanted to kill the bastard.

But a shaking hand gently grabs my upper arm, and I look down to see Jon is looking up at me with some of the saddest eyes I had ever seen.

"I think I'm dying" the boy whimpers shakily, I shake my head vigorously.

"No, no you aren't it's alright" I say quickly, but I could feel him now, as if a curtain had been pulled away and I could feel the rays of the sun on my skin, but I could also feel him slipping away, could feel that warmth and love was shrinking, melting away like snow.

"Look at me Jon. You have to live, promise me you will? We have to properly meet, and get to know each other" I say quickly, managing a shaky smile, blood roaring in my ears as the Doctor sits beside us, his now free hand on my back.

But even as I pleaded, his eyelids began to droop, his grip on my arm loosening.
