Note:

Yes I'm giving this chapter a... Doctory sounding name. This chapter kind of stems away from the main story a little bit. I haven't thrown in the Daleks for the heck of it. There is an actual reason which will be explained in later chapters, so keep a look out for that :)

Now before you start reading, play the 11th Doctor intro at full volume on whatever device you're reading this chapter on before carrying on reading. Incase if it's not obvious which it should blatantly be obvious as I'm using the Paradigm Daleks in here, I am using the 11th Doctor. Got to get the vibes going- Okay I will shut up now, enjoy reading.


"If Dread Steve has returned, it is time to start the fight."

Colle and Seer are on top of a mountain that soars high up into the sky, beyond the clouds and had just summoned Dream Steve. At the top, there's 4 corners, with a pillar in each one with blue fire at the top. On the ground, there is mark of a blue star in the middle.

"Uh... hi, who are you? Are you... the creator of the Winter Steves and the Giants?" Colle asked whilst stuttering. He walks closer to the figure infront of him.

"I am Dream Steve."

"Okay, well, um... hi, my name is Colle, I'm a Red Steve. This is- This is Seer, a Blue Steve," Colle introduced himself, and he briefly looks at Seer as he introduces Dream Steve to him.

"We uh- We're actually working for your creations, to try and uh, try and help them."

"Nice to meet you," Dream Steve replied to Colle.

"What is that? Does anyone here that too?" Seer asked Colle and Dream Steve. In the background, they could hear a loud soaring sound. The 3 notice a dark disk in the distance coming down at a rapid pace, not even stopping at the clouds.

BANG! The whole mountain shook, and most of the clouds disappeared from the impact of whatever came crashing down. Colle and Seer briefly peaked over, before both their fear of heights made themselves pull away from the edge. The whole area at the bottom had been completely wiped out and is on fire.

"What the- We should uh... we should probably go check what that was. Come on," Colle said as he starts slowly walking down the mountain.

"The clouds not being there really doesn't help," Seer shuddered as he and Dream Steve starts following Colle. They could see the ground from above, which the clouds were blocking the view, until whatever that disk is that came crashing down to the surface.

"Yeah Seer... I agree," Colle replied in agreement. Colle feels so happy that he can share his fear of heights with someone.


(At the bottom of the hill)

"Woah- What the... maybe uh- I... I should go let Boss know about this whenever I can," Colle thought to himself. As Colle, Seer and Dream Steve get to the bottom, they see a massive crater, with a bronze disk in it, which has a gold centre. The disk also has multiple cracks and openings on it.

Then 5 white-flashing objects appear. Once the flash died away, 5 machines appear, one white, one blue, one yellow, one orange, and the last one red. It has a plunger on the right, and a whisk on the left on a shiny metal plate, which the same metal goes around the body. The machine also has a black bumper at the bottom. It has a plane lens, the light reflecting through the lens, giving a little hint of yellow surrounded with a black steel object around it, holding onto a stainless metal stick, an eyestalk. On each side of the head are 2 lights. It has a black neck, which has the dome head on top. There's also 8 black bumps, split in half and in formation of a vertical rectangle. There's another 5 sets of 4 bumps in the formation of verticle rectangles on each side. There is also a grey flap of sorts on the back of the machine.

Colle, Seer and Dream Steve steps back, so the machines can have some space. After the 5 machines are out, the white one moves forward.

"Uh... h- Hello," Colle stuttered, stepping backwards as the white machine moves forwards.

"SCANNING," The lights flashed twice on the white machine. It turns it's dome head to look at Colle.

"So, I'm Colle, this is Seer, and this person here is Dream Steve. Who are you-"

"ANOMALY OF TIMELINE DETECTED! DESTABILIZE THE TIMELINE, EXTERMINATE!" The whisk began to glow, which Colle anticipates it as an attack and dodges.

"Uh guys- We need to get out of here!" Right as Colle tries to teleport everyone, the blue machine fires at the Red Steve. But right before the bolt of plasma hits, lightning strikes and a figure appears, holding a dark sledgehammer in their right hand. With the sledgehammer, the figure blocks the plasma bolt.

"IDENTIFY!" The white machine yelled repeatedly, as all 5 began shouting the same words, all looking at the figure.

"IDENTIFY! IDENTIFY! IDENTIFY!"

"Judge? This is good timing!" Colle sighed with relief. The Judge turns around and looks at Colle.

"Leave. I will handle this. It is my duty to protect Origin's creations." The Judge looks back to face the white machine. He summons fireballs with the hammer, but every fireball gets deflected. Right as the machines were about to fire back at the Judge...

"EMERGENCY! THE DOCTOR AND TIME STEVE ARE DETECTED!" The yellow machine yells while shaking.

"BUGGER," The red machine replied.

"RETREAT!" The blue machine shouted out. Each of the 5 machines flash white before disappearing.

"Who's Time Steve?" Seer looks at Colle and Dream Steve.

"Dream, do you happen to know who this... Time Steve person is? You have existed for... a long time, so I thought you might know, do you?" Colle looks and asks Dream Steve, who shakes his head.

Vworp! Vworp vworp vworp vworp! Right besides Colle, Seer and Dream Steve, a blue oblong box materializes. It has 2 doors on each side, as well as a sign above the doors.

"Police public call box? What?" Colle is getting more confused as more things happen. Is it Dread Steve playing tricks on their minds?

"Okay... I have no clue what's going on," Said Dream Steve.

"Time shenanigans, that's what," A non-steve figure comes out of the box, followed by a another figure that is a steve, which has a face of a clock.

"Oh... I think I may know who you two are. Are you... the Doctor and Time Steve?" Colle slowly asked, stepping backwards.

"How did you know?" Time Steve asked.

"These machines uh, they came out of a disk or something and... they tried destroying us. The Judge here uh, he came in and they disappeared before you guys showed up," Colle stutters on his explanation. The Doctor and Time Steve looks at each other.

"So... uh- Let's just get straight to the point. We come from the future," Time Steve blankly stated.

"Not meant to say that," The Doctor mutters to Time Steve.

"Wait, so... where you guys are from- For you, what is happening right now, has already happened? I'm not a genius or anything, but uh... changing past events... I don't know, it sounds pretty dangerous if you ask me. I'd imagine it would break a whole lot of things," Colle replied.

"That is what the Daleks are here to do. We're here so they don't change said events," The Doctor replied back.

"So what we've encountered are things called... Daleks?"

"Yes," Time Steve replied to Colle.

"Great, there's these Daleks and Dread to deal with," Colle sighs to himself.

"We should start heading to the Winter Village. That was what we were going to do. You two come along with- Actually... if you guys are from the future, maybe it's best we keep this between us and maybe the elites until we figure something out. I don't know how people will react to this," Colle suggested. He, Seer and Dream Steve gather together and summons lightning.

"I wish I could help that Blue Steve, but we must let history take its path," Time Steve sighed.

"Who was that one exactly? To me, they all just look the same," The Doctor asked.

"That Blue Steve later becomes Void Steve. It's... weird, seeing him as a... normal steve," Time Steve replied.

"Back on topic, looks like Elemental did a pretty good job beating their spaceship up. They... shouldn't be able to emergency temporal shift or time travel until they can get the ship going again. We must not let them do that. This is our chance to destroy the Paradigm for good," The Doctor stated.

"We need to protect the leaders, the Red Steve elites, Professor Red and that Blue Steve. As long as they stay alive, the Daleks can't do much to the timeline," Time Steve explained.

"Who are those machines?" The Judge questioned the Doctor and Time Steve.

"They're not just machines, there's an actual creature inside, and they're called Daleks. They came here to break the timeline, and we're here to try stop them," The Doctor explained.

"Why do you look so much like Sabre?" Time Steve wondered to himself. The Judge periodically stands there for a few seconds, glaring at Time Steve and the Doctor before summoning lightning and teleporting away.

"Are they gone?" Starlight quietly asked before slowly walking outside of the Tardis.

"Yeah, why what's up?" Time Steve replied.

"I... once did bad things with time travel... that's all. I... just don't want to repeat doing that again," Starlight sighed.

"Well, we're here and we need to stop the Daleks. Plus, you're here for the greater good, so no need to beat yourself up," Time Steve said gently, lightly putting his right hand on Starlight's back.

"Okay..."


"... we're not meeting the Winter Leader inside, he's uh, off to the side. That one that's in here is basically- Well, not his apprentice, but his uh... his assistant, the one who's been helping him out with everything. So he took over just temporarily," Colle explains to Dream Steve and Seer, before opening the door of the Winter Leader's house.

"I see," Dream Steve replied, walking through the door with Seer.

The floor inside is made of spruce planks, with a massive light blue carpet in the middle. To the left and right are campfires, which are lifted up a block above the ground. Around the blocks with the campfire on top are some of the same light blue carpet. There's 6 wooden pillars, which are holding the wooden triangle roof above. Between the wooden pillars at the centre, there's some fire, surrounded by andesite. Past the pillars at the end is a dark oak chair. There, a Winter Steve with a white leather hat sat on. He got up as soon as he saw Colle, Seer and the third figure coming in.

"Hey uh, Winter Steve. I got some good news for you, and somebody I'd like you to meet," Colle said as he walks to the Winter Steve, then looks over at Dream Steve.

"This is Dream Steve."

"Hello Colle, how are-" The Winter Steve takes a moment and processes what Colle said. Ahead, he notices the third figure.

"Oh! Pleasure to meet you. I'm Winter Steve, and you are?"

"Hello," Dream Steve replied.

"This is uh, as I said, this is Dream Steve. This is your guys' creator. We managed to bring him back thanks to, well, couldn't of done it without Seer, and the Giants pointed us in the right direction. So, this is what the Heart of Winter was uh, was ready to become all this time," Colle explained.

"The Heart of Winter's gone now by the way, I can't give you that back. I'm pretty sure it's like inside him or something." They then hear the door go, and they see the Obsidian Captain running in.

"Guys! The Obsidian Citadel is under attack!"

"Who what- Obsidian Captain? What's uh... what's going on?" Colle asks as he walks to the Obsidian Captain.

"The Obsidian Citadel is under attack."

"By what?" Seer asked, standing next to Colle and looking at the Obsidian Steve.

"There's a swarm of red coloured machines with a single eye. We are unable to do anything to them," The Obsidian Captain explains the situation.

"Oh no... right, we need to go there now. Dream, Seer, you need to sort out uh, the corruption. We'll go sort what this is about. Let's go, Obsidian Captain," Colle instructed before getting close to the Obsidian Steve, summoning lightning and teleporting.


Colle and the Obsidian Captain are now in the throne room of the Obsidian Citadel. They stand infront of the massive throne made of obsidian and blackstone, which the Obsidian Leader is sitting on. He gets up and walks to the 2 steves.

"Hello Colle, glad you could come here."

"Hey... how you guys holding up? There's an attack, right?" Colle asked the leader.

"Not great. Our weapons aren't a match for theirs, and they fight at range. We are powerless against these things with one eye. They seem to be trying to get through to the gate," The Obsidian Leader murmured.

"These things, they're apparently called Daleks- Wait, if they're going for the gate- I think I might know what may be happening here now. Basically, the Daleks are from the future, and in the future, Dread may of come back from the dead or he escapes from his tomb or whatever. He may of corrupted some Daleks and they came here to destroy him so they never got infected at all, just that they're gonna destroy all of us in the process. We must keep this future stuff between us as much as possible, we can't let anyone else know," Colle theorized. Why else would the Daleks be interested in attacking the Obsidian citadel?

"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" They hear a Dalek shout in the background, and an Obsidian Steve screaming. Colle runs out to the entrance, and looks at what's happening below. There's a swarm of red Paradigm Daleks, way outnumbering the Obsidian Steves.

"Go away you... damn Daleks!" Colle yells as he summons lightning on the Daleks, but his attacks just gets deflected. He then notices one right next to him.

"Oh no..."

"EXTERMINATE!" Before the Dalek fires, a Red Steve with a shield jumps in front, and blocks the shot with that shield.

"Huh- Beef? When did you get here?"

"Aim for their eyes! It's their weak spot!" Beef yelled as he aims his fireballs for the eyestalk, destroying the lens.

"OPTICS DESTROYED! TOTAL OBLITERATION, DISINTEGRATE!" The Dalek starts spinning round, shooting beams in all directions. Colle and Beef ducks and crawls out of the way, taking shelter behind some basalt. The spinning Dalek fires constantly and even accidentally hits some of it's own, destroying them.

"What in the name of... what the heck are them things?"

"Beef, these things are uh, they're apparently called Daleks, and for some reason, they have come here to destroy us. Don't tell anyone this uh... this must be kept between just the elites. These things are from the future, and people from the future are coming here to stop them- That's why no one can know, we could change and ruin whatever the future for them looks like. We gotta be mindful of that," Colle explained whilst breathing heavily.

"Them things are invincible... other than their eyes of course."

"Wait, stay here Colle," Beef said as he slowly peaks his head up, looking at the spinning Dalek, still firing. When the Dalek isn't facing him, he runs up to it and summons lightning, teleporting into the middle of the army of Daleks with him. The army of Daleks and Obsidian Steves are battling on the blackstone and deepslate path that leads to the citadel. Beef immediately gets down and puts his shield on his back before crawling. A Dalek shoots at Beef, but the shield saves his life. Once away, Beef teleports back to Colle.

"There, that'll keep them distracted," Beef stated.

"What uh... what did you do?" Colle asked whilst slightly stuttering. The spinning Dalek down below shoots several bolts of plasma, destroying multiple Daleks. The others quickly focus and destroys the spinning Dalek.

"Wow, that actually worked as intended- Listen to me Colle. Go for the eye and teleport them into the middle of the fighting," Beef instructed. Beef runs out of hiding and down below, followed by Colle. They're running down the path that lead up to the citadel. Ahead, 2 Daleks notice Beef and Colle charging at them.

"EXTERMINATE!" Colle got behind Beef, who crouches down, maximizing the usefulness of his shield.

"Here," Beef tosses a spare shield to Colle.

"Thanks Beef," Colle responded. The 2 Daleks fire again, which both Colle and Beef blocks with the shield.

"Come on- There we go!" Colle fires at the dome head, aiming for the eyestalk. One of the fireballs hit, and the Dalek started spinning whilst shooting. Colle, not taking any risks crouches as he moves to the spinning Dalek, blocking the shots coming his way with the shield. Once right next to it, Colle summons lightning and teleports to the middle of where the main fighting is taking place. Beef did the same with the Dalek he engaged with.

"There- Oh no, there's a lot... oh no- Uh..." The 2 Daleks Colle and Beef teleported had been destroyed on the spot. Now, the Daleks have them surrounded. To the left...

"EXTERMINATE!"

To the right...

"EXTERMINATE!"

Ahead and behind...

"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"

"What did we ever do to you!? Why don't you just go back to whatever place you came from!?" Colle yelled, summoning fireballs at the eyestalk of a random Dalek. But they turn their dome head, so their eyestalk avoids damage. Before the Daleks fired, Colle and Beef found themselves in a light blue shield, right as the Daleks shot. The shield deflects the bolts of plasma coming their way.

"Who... are- Who are you?" Colle stuttered as he asks the creature, who doesn't reply. The one raising the shield is a creature that looks like a horse, but half the size. It has a light pink coat of fur, and a horn on it's head that's the same colour. It has a purple mane and tail with a turquoise strip. Lastly, on each side of it's flank, it has a star-shaped symbol that's dark pink, almost purple. It's shape is almost the same shape as the Heart of Winter. Above it are 2 turquoise markings that look like steam.

"Okay... so many new faces today..." Beef slowly said to himself.

"What are you exactly? We've never seen... your kind before," Colle asked. Again, the creature doesn't reply. They then see a blue fuzz fly into the Daleks, taking off the top half off the bottom half of all of them.

"The... Doc... tor... is... de... tec... ted..."

"Lower the shield thingy! Go go go!" Colle yelled. The creature lowers the shield and shoots a bright blue beam at the halved Daleks, destroying them. Colle and Beef shoots fireballs and lightning, destroying some too.

"Whoever you are, thank you," Colle thanks the creature. Again, the creature doesn't even talk to Colle.

"Is something wrong?"

"No, she's just... having a little bit of bad deja vu," The voice replies. Colle and Beef turns around and they see a steve with a clock face.

"Oh- Beef, this is Time Steve. Time Steve, this is Beef," Colle introduces Beef and Time Steve to each other.

"Hello," Said Beef.

"Hi," Time Steve replied back.

"Do you know that... creature, who saved us? They aren't responding," Colle asked Time Steve.

"Starlight said she did pretty awful things with time travel before she became good. As... well, we went back in time to here, the memories of that are flooding to her mind," Time Steve explained.

"Oh, so she's called Starlight? Huh, interesting," Colle thought to himself.

"Well... I can't really comment on whatever it was she did, so yeah. How long have you been dealing with these Daleks?" Colle asked.

"Since the dem- Oh, slight spoilers of what's to come, I can't tell you," Time Steve cuts himself off from finishing explaining.

"Oh, right. As you say, you're from the future, and you know how everything goes. So you got to let us play it out," Colle understands.

"I know what to do," The Doctor said as he walks over to everyone.

"There's this thing the Daleks have. It's called a progenitor. A progenitor creates more Daleks, basically. That must explain how they amassed this army. If we destroy it, we should defeat the Daleks."

"Okay... this is all... very confusing. Some of the words sound... futurery, if that's even a word," Said Colle.

"Don't worry, this is all... timey wimey, as the Doctor puts it- Even we don't use proper words," Time Steve responded.

"Back on task, where is the Dalek spaceship again?" Starlight brought up.

"Oh- You actually spoke!" Beef exclaimed.

"Yeah..."

"Look, Starlight, whatever you did, I'm sure you amended your mistakes. So just know you're doing the right thing now okay," Said Colle.

"Thanks," Starlight replied.

"Wait, that disk thingy, is that's what you're talking about? If so, I know where we need to go. Everyone, gather around me," Colle said as everyone but the Doctor gathers around him. He then summons lightning, back at the bottom of the mountain, the mountain where they summoned Dream Steve on. The Doctor goes into his Tardis and heads to the location everyone teleported to.


Colle, Beef, Time Steve, the Doctor and Starlight are at the sight where the Dalek spaceship crashed. The ship is still there.

"Elemental left this ship pretty beaten up," The Doctor thought to himself, looking at the many cracks and openings in the spaceship. He thought steves being able to stand up to the Daleks alone is impressive. But seeing one able to beat up one of their spaceships is even more impressive.

"So, we just need to destroy this thing, and we're all good- Easy enough, right? Ah- Thought as much," Colle wondered as he summons lightning right in the centre, which does nothing.

"Odd. Even though it crashed, it's shields are still somehow active," The Doctor stated, holding out his sonic screwdriver out, waving it in his right hand whilst pointing at the crashed spaceship.

"But... there's some Daleks still inside, from what I'm gathering. But the way in has for sure been destroyed."

"Then how are we meant to get in? If whatever it is that's stopping us, what are we meant to do?" Colle asked the Doctor.

"We can teleport into the area we were in," Starlight suggested whilst looking at Time Steve.

"Alright, gather around me," Time Steve said as everyone then gathers around him. He then summons lightning.


Dalek Supreme and Scientist are in the same room as the Progenitor. Dalek Eternal is repairing parts of the ship, where it would at least be functional.

"VITAL COMPONENTS REPAIRED, TIME JUMP IN SIXTY RELS," Dalek Eternal stated as it came into the room. Dalek Supreme notices Dalek Strategist is coming over.

"HAS DREAD STEVE BEEN EXTERMINATED?"

"NO. ATTACK ON CITADEL, FAILED," Dalek Strategist replied with not guilt, but anger and hatred.

"IMPOSSIBLE!" Dalek Supreme yelled back with the same angry tone. They are meant to be the master race, but they're somehow losing to inferior life forms. The white Dalek then turns it's dome head to look at Dalek Eternal.

"PREPARE THE SHIP FOR TAKE OFF."

"ALERT! THE DOCTOR IS ON BOARD!" Dalek Drone shouted as it came into the room.

"CORRECTION, FIVE LIFE FORMS ON BOARD," Dalek Strategist added onto Dalek Drone.

"DEFEND THE PROGENITOR! DEFEND! DEFFEEENNNNNDDD! " Dalek Supreme yelled as all 5 move out of the room, and they see 2 Red Steves, a unicorn, but more importantly, Time Steve and the Doctor. Those 2 are the biggest threat to them.

"Okay, so they aren't just all red," Colle shuddered as he steps back.

"These must be the ones in charge," Beef pointed out to Colle.

"Well, what do we have here? The last of the Paradigm," The Doctor walks left to right and vice versa whilst looking at the 5 Daleks. The Daleks adjust their some heads, their eyestalks remain looking at the Doctor.

"Meant to replace the Bronze Daleks. Yet, here you lot are, outcasters, dying. You played every last card you had, but here we are. The demise of the Paradigm. Your paradigm has failed."

"WE SUCCEEDED," Dalek Strategist responded.

"Yeah, and us five have destroyed the army of Daleks you sent out! We will deal with you no problem! Five of you are nothing!" Colle yelled back.

"Your objectives... disrupting the timeline I'm assuming? I think you failed at that!" Starlight yelled as her horn glows light blue, frowning at the Daleks.

"You're in denial. You... have lost," Time Steve said as he walks up to the Dalek Supreme.

"WE WILL RETURN!" Dalek Supreme yelled back. Then out of nowhere, lightning strikes on the Dalek Eternal.

"ALERT! ANOMALY IN ETERNAL DETECTED!" Dalek Scientist yelled as they and the 3 other Daleks look at the Eternal, who heads for the Progenitor.

"TOTAL OBLITERATION, DISINTEGRATE!" Dalek Eternal shoots a powerful bolt of plasma at the Progenitor, making it disintegrate. The Eternal turns around and fires at Dalek Scientist, making them disintegrate too.

"EXTERMINATE THE ETERNAL!" Dalek Supreme yelled as they, Dalek Strategist and Drone shoots at the Eternal. Starlight jumps infront and protects Dalek Eternal and creates a shield, blocking the incoming bolts of plasma.

"SHIELDING DEACTIVATED!" Dalek Drone yelled as Time Steve strikes lightning on the red Dalek.

"EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT!" Dalek Strategist tries to escape, but that's been disabled too.

"Is this your doing?" Time Steve asked the Doctor.

"No..."

"Then who is it Doctor?"

"I don't know- I never felt so useless, ah ha. Seeing Daleks get owned like this... I- I just don't know what to say."

Meanwhile, Starlight lowers her shield and pushes with her forehooves to lift the top half of her body off the ground. She leans her head back and when her forehooves came back down on the ground, she yanked her head down and shoots a bright blue beam of magic at full force, directly at Dalek Drone, making it explode. This time the actual Dalek creature inside doesn't survive. It vaporized in the blue beam of magic. Colle and Beef looks at Starlight in awe.

"She's powerful..." Colle stuttered.

Dalek Eternal tries to shoot at the Dalek Strategist, but the blue Dalek anticipates and disables the gunstick. Lightning then strikes on the white Dalek.

"ANOMALY HAS MOVED OVER TO THE SUPREME!" Dalek Eternal yelled as it regains control.

"EXTERMINATE!" Dalek Eternal tries to shoot at Dalek Supreme, but their gunstick is still disabled.

"TOTAL OBLITERATION, DISINTEGRATE!" Dalek Supreme shoots at the Eternal, making them disintegrate. The white Dalek looks at the Dalek Strategist. Time Steve strikes lightning on the blue Dalek, freezing the state of the armoured casing in time, making the shield deactivate too. Colle and Beef shoots fireballs at the blue Dalek, taking off the gunstick and plunger with the impact the fireballs made. Dalek Supreme shoots and the Dalek Strategist disintegrates. The white Dalek looks at the rest of the group.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ah HA HA ha ha ha HA HA!" Lightning strikes to the left side of the white Dalek. Once the lightning died away, a red figure with a single red eye outlined in black with purple marks all over their body appears. Meanwhile, the head of the Dalek Supreme turns around.

"What are you doing in the past?" Starlight questioned. She remembers that single-eyed steve anyway. She'd even recognize him if the terrain and sky was red, that's how well she remembers this steve.

"My destiny awaits me," The figure replied. Time Steve and Starlight haven't heard this voice in a long time. However, the voice they known to be echoey, it isn't echoing.

"How... are you here?" Time Steve slowly asked, slowly stepping backwards. The figure that had just showed up came completely out the blue for Time Steve.

"When Sabre and Doctor Whooves went back in time, I went with them unnoticed. My destiny awaits me," The figure replied, ending it with the same 4 words he said to Starlight.

"Excuse me but- But who... are you!?" Colle exclaimed as he as well as Beef steps back, barely able to look at the new figure.

"You can call me... Hypno Steve."

"What did you do?" The Doctor asked.

"The Daleks never stood a chance. I knew they would come, and I knew the end result. All I had to do was hijack their mindscapes. Their minds were in some way, connected, and just made it easy to swap over between each one," Hypno Steve explained.

"I knew they'd come here. While I don't see past what awaits me... judging by who is still out there, it's pretty obvious. He is a problem to you all, Time and Starlight."

"What are you guys even talking about?" Beef asked.

"It doesn't matter as it doesn't concern you, Beef," Hypno Steve responded.

"How do you know our names?" Colle questioned, stepping back a little more, feeling a bit unsettled by Hypno Steve. The one-eyed steve turns and sighs.

"We've met before, a long time ago. It all makes sense now. I've come to terms what awaits me. Knowing that I can rest after, I feel... a bit of my sanity, coming back to me. It's an odd feeling, losing your sanity, then have it slowly come back to you," Hypno Steve replied, turning back around where he's facing everyone else.

"Well, what do we do with the last Dalek?" Colle asked.

"This Dalek won't be a problem," Hypno Steve answered Colle.

"Colle, should I bring this information to Boss?" Beef asked. Colle looks towards Beef as he begins speaking.

"Probably won't be a good idea. If the steves start fearing the Daleks, Dread will have a much easier time spreading his corruption- I don't know- I'm gonna go with no, don't tell Boss or the other elites. This is a little off putting."

"Anyway," Colle looks back at the group.

"What are we gonna do now? Dread is still out there corrupting people, and uh, and the Obsidian Steves did get hit pretty hard by the Daleks. I'm not sure if they'll even be able to recover too quickly," Colle asked.

"Colle, there will be dark days ahead. You will feel sadness, anger, and grief. But if you pull through, you will succeed," Hypno Steve reassured. Without warning, he strikes lightning, teleporting Colle and Beef back to where they were before the Daleks arrived.

"You three, I will need you to help me bury this spaceship up. The shielding has been deactivated," Hypno Steve requested as he looks back to Time Steve, the Doctor and Starlight.


(Hours later)

The Dalek spaceship has been buried in dirt. But the whole area is still burnt and destroyed. But there's nothing they can do about that.

"Hypno... whatever it is that's your destiny, we can save you. You just need to tell us when that moment is," Starlight offered.

"No, I have made my decision. I am staying here, and that's final. Stop offering Starlight, you can't change my decision," Hypno Steve responded firmly.

"Starlight, there's no convincing him," Time Steve said to the unicorn. Starlight looks to the ground in disappointment.

"I just wanted to change the past for good... to make up what I did when I last used time travel..." Starlight sighed.

"What are you going to be doing now?" The Doctor asked Hypno Steve.

"Staying here, just watching, until my moment comes," With that, Hypno Steve strikes lightning and teleports away.

"Do we tell everyone about Hypno Steve being here?" Time Steve asked.

"Probably not. If he went back in time, he must be part of some time loop," The Doctor replied. The 3 then walks back into the TARDIS that's behind them.
