A shadowy figure steps from a dark portal into a field of blank white. The portal has scratches of pulsing color. The empty space of white has a vast expanse in all directions. The man pulses with an aura of t.v static. Zooming in on his closed eyes, he opens them, revealing golden iris's. His hair is a chocolate amber color. He wears a dark blue suit with olive colored suspenders and a bowtie. He grins, looking blankly out into the void. "It ends here, doesn't it? no, just another beginning... " Heh.. like always." He pauses, looking at a swirling marble in his hand proudly with wicked humor. Well, here goes nothing." He smiles again, a crooked, beautiful smile . Spreading out his arms dramatically, his static aura draws out another portal before him from the marble on the seemingly invisible solid surface he holds his balance on . "Im finally on my way" He hops down into the portal.
The lord stands, looking out over crags of slate. A colorful blue gas glows heavy and low on the ground.
"So this is it? I end up here of all places. So be it." he pauses thinking. Conflicted with himself, he sighs. "It must be done. It's funny how I'm the one to do it. Paradox as usual. It is amusing, though. Self fulfilling. No one to stop me. Not that they would if they could. " he holds out his arm and grabs at the air, and instantly, he holds his dead self. No sign of open wound but clearly pale and dead. Dressed in casual wear, he is an earlier version. "Time to go, buddy. There is lots of stuff to do still. Let's tuck ourselves in and be on our merry ways. " He smiles mirthfuly. He snaps his finger, and he teleports to a slab of dark blue stone. He is way up on a tower of sorts. Echoes hang heavy here. He sets his dead self down on the slab, and suddenly, he vanished, leaving himself. Zoom in on the revived ones pale face, and it is overtaken by t.v static. He floats limp in the air. The static envelopes him. He blinks in and out of space, his void becoming him. He sparks, and a loud thunderbolt cracks the sky with a bang. He hovers lightly to the ground on his feet, and he holds his hands on his head and screams.
"No, not gone.. I just forgotten" A fresh new lord stands by. " I will unlock it in time. Once I remember… things will be different. That's how it goes, right? no… I don't know… what can I even do here? I'm so bored… yet… I feel I have.. potential. I don't think I'm the only character here… I feel insane in a way… my mind feels fragmented and… well, I think I've always liked it like this.… Yeah, that's it. I must have lived dangerously. I think… these fragmented memories.. they can be a possibility, not inevitability. He stands on a sea of dark blue fog at his feet… now.. It's time for my rite of passage. My visions will serve me, and.. oh… my memory is fuzzy though…" he holds his head in pain.
"serve as my… hmm whats the word. My future. I will be something great… or…. Let me just see inside the darkness.. a sea of cold.. raindrops? I see… moonlight. I need to remember my lessons.. I still have a past.. It's just jumbled up… I need to feel right… what is my path?" his mind clearly isn't formed right.
First condemned
An echoe in his mind calls out.
"We are the same. We have been a cycle of danger and destruction. Born of a thousand dead worlds burned by moonlight. We are a threat. We have to save ourselves. We are a cycle of violence.. of hatred… I don't want that. I want to be better… I want to end this cycle. I know I can even if it throws reality into chaos.. I can decide on my past. We have that power. Create the paths behind us. Erase our future… or just stand aside it. There are other universes… protected but beautiful.. I will step through reality... I can make friends. I know it. I just want us to go somewhere… I'm just fading here, and I don't care what I have to do.. I just want to feel better. I used to be good… I think… I hope "
The doctor and the Lord
The void lord transfigures himself through a universe. A memory of himself.
"Am I losing my way… no this must be right.. I don't see any other possibility" a voice reaches out in the doctor's mind."Ive dreamed of you.. You know… and I forgive you . I understand you… I'm just so alone! If anyone would understand, it's you!" Tears stream down the void lords face in the doctor's mind." I want to fly away with you! Please… just let me travel with you…"
This catches the doctor off guard. He was pleading to travel with her because he was alone.. and forgive her? For what? "Im sorry.. But that would be a cosmic mistake.." The doctor already anticipated his arrival. He was trapped in an interdimentional crystal prism.
"Well… Then.. Just leave me trapped here with you… it hurts, but it is still better than just living in my own world… Sometimes, it feels like my body doesn't belong to me. No one hears my cries… except… you did.. So that's nice. I want to redeem myself… please? I'm begging you, don't send me away… I want to be free.. I'm tripping on myself.. it really… hurts.. My mind"
Tears well in the doctors eyes. "You would really stay in this painful prism? Why? Is it really better? What happened to you? I made this to deter you"
""You… You are traveling alone? What happened? You never travel alone… you really shouldnt…"
"You are deflecting... Why?.. And how do you know that? Who told you that.."
"I… I just want to stay with you.. please. Just… let me be here. I can stay locked up if you need me to.. i dont mind.. its safer that way to be honest.. im too powerful for my own good."
A worried expression crosses the doctors face."Thats what im afraid of… i dont think its my place to risk it.. i want to help, but you are a threat to this entire reality. I cant just keep you in a box… you have to leave. Besides you are.. unstable… and thats even more frightning… well more like dangerous.. i really would like you to stay but-" the lord cuts the doctor off mid-sentence.
"Why!? Why does it have to be that. I can be a secret cant i? If its one of the things im best at its staying put and hidden.. i have been doing that for what seems like eternity.. besides i could be of some help and company.. please? You arent being brave or kind about this! Don't you have any hope left? I see it in your eyes. You have given up on companions.. of friends.. why?"
"I … i dont understand you. You shouldnt be able to do that… read into my past? Bring up things relatable to me that ive never told anyone.. that ive.. ive… wait… i get it now! Your a psychic being from another dimension. You very well can NOT stay with me. You will only bring trouble. And i honestly think you are being manipulative…. Preying on the weakest parts of my mind" the doctor shakes their head in anguish.. get out of my head!"
"Im.. im not in it.. thats not me.. i was just reading your eyes and well… ive known some things anyways. Some echoes in a way… very clear ones actually.. like cinema… played as a series.. kind of like a t.v show… i mean you do have a very cinematic life… what i am saying is… you do have witness… witness from another reality. A safer one without the threats that revolve around you"
"threats that revolve around me? I dont like what you are implying, also… ive had.. my moments.. is that really how it works? Like just manifestations? Thats.. bizarre.. are you lying? Ugh… more importantly what is in my head if its not you!?" the doctor glares at the prism.
"Im not sure… i dont know everything. That would be boring and just.. way too much, plus this story involves me. So what should i know"
"maybe you arent doing this on purpose… i think you just being here. Even trapped is altering the flow of time and space… im a traveler and you are mixing up my memories.. im sorry but you have got to go…" the doctor pulls out the sonic screwdriver and raises it to the prism. But before she can do anything the prism disappears."no!" the lord responds, upset. The doctor is left holding their head in pain, tears in their eyes…"oh no… what have i done"
The master and the lord
The prism teleports away, some sort of intentional and intuitive response. He knew the doctor was going to do that in that last second and by nature protected himself and his will.
"Here I thought I was going to die alone.. funny.. What are you exactly? My, my.. a glecprison? Well, that's interesting… Wherever did you come from… Is this timelord technology" missy senses something when she touches the prism. "Dangerous AND curious. Fascinating! … This is the doctors handywork.. Is it a gift? Is he trying to rescue me… no… of course not.. This is something else… and there is.. someone.. something inside. Trapped? How long have you been in there? Hmm… you are kind of hard to read." The heavy Scottish accented woman was the master. She just killed herself recently.
"I know you.. You are the best version of yourself, I think… I hope, at least one of the best… the master.. No, you go by missy. You are in a bit of trouble, aren't you? You lost hope. You gave up on yourself a long time ago, but I think you can do better. Also, you don't have a future without me, I suspect. You would be stuck here in limbo.. again.. Something is causing the doctor a bit of pain. Unraveling, fragmenting, you are different, though. You've dealt with this. We are.. similar..."
"What the bloody hell are you going on about? Speak clearly! You don't know anything about me. How could you? What are you?" She looks suspicious and agitated.
"Fine, I know you just killed yourself. You.." he is cut off.
"Pfft. Hahaha!" I did what? No, you are dead wrong. I would never.. simply moving on with the cycle, " she says. "But how did you plan on leaving this place?" he asks. She looks a little lost for a second."That… was a work in progress, but I don't like answering questions with other questions. It's annoying. So answer my questions without asking anything" she smiles."Now who are you? What's your name?""Im the lord.. lord of-" she seems confused and interupts"The lord, really? How annoying, what's your real name? What do you go by? I can't let you out unless you tell me, and I could dissect you if you don't. " she caresses the prism
With a smile."The master is a better title, I suppose, missy." She frowns at his response."I don't need you, you know. I can get out of this myself if I wanted to" the void lord replies.
"Well if you could, you would, wouldn't you? Missy quips."Now what did you do to get put in there? And WHAT IS YOUR NAME?" she yells.
"Fine, spunky as ever it seems. I could go by Blixx I guess. Blixx the void lord."
"Her eyes light. Blixx is a much better name. The void lord? And here I thought you might be a boring time, Lord! I think I've heard about you in legends. Oh, what did the call you? Deffinitly not Blixx, but a void lord… there has been mention of that. I'm pretty sure that's not your original title. There is a specific title that is lost to me at the moment. Of course, the doctor would be there to lock you up before you could invade, " she smiles. Now I suppose he didn't send you here, so even though you are trapped, you can still manifest your powers. Which means you could get me off this damn thing."
"Honestly, that was my plan anyway. I did think you were dying, though, or at least you were supposed to die here. Alone at the end. Always alone, just like the doctor… and me. She isn't traveling with anyone right now, you know. Also, she refused me. Just like she has to you so many times, still… you are friends. I'm sure she might appreciate me… saving you, even if it does cause.. events. You know what's funny? I get why trouble finds you both always like this. Apocalypses… cybermen, and… dalek. Hiding away past the veil in time streams unwatched.. Or wait… no, maybe they don't touch this universe.. Well, I'm sure it's something else then."
"what?" Clearly, she doesn't like this answer."Also, don't patronize me a little gem. I could crush you under my foot. This prison, it can kill you, you know that, don't you? Under that fabric.. That is an interdimentional cross-monumental anomaly prison. It could really cause damage to you if one were to tweak things. That is what this is. I figured it out almost immediately and also how to kill you with it." She smiles threateningly.
"Funny thing legends. They never get things completely right. You can't kill me with this. I'm not even"real" so to speak, and I figured out how to free myself from this a while ago…. How long has it been since you were shot? Here, let me give you a sense of confidence. A gift and a warning" he speaks confidently. The prism starts to crackle with orange static. It suddenly pulses out an orange light and shatters. The next thing they were in a sort of mental tardis. Illusional and metaphysical, altering reality. Bending it to his will. Instead of technology, this place was enchantments and altars. Sacred from forgotten times in an alternate reality. Missy looked stunned, fascinated, and frightened? No, she was surprised. It is also probably unsettled being in a space created by imaginings and the power of his psychic mental will. There, they were looking out on the ship full of cybermen."You know these things don't exist in other universes. It's you and the doctor that caused this, and you could never fix it. But I could. I could undo them. I could do a lot of things and just like that. He snaps his fingers. The ship gets teleported closer and torn apart by the blackhole before any cybermen had the chance to escape.
"Well thats impressive! This is impressive! You are impressive! Wow.. Just wow. She claps her hands and bows a bit. Well, I do say thank you. If I were you… my goodness. I don't think I could help myself from making myself a.. ruler of some kind. She winks. You could start an empire. You could end empires." She smiles, and she finds a nice chair. You can have chairs in this space? Well, that's an improvement. The doctor would be Jelous. Here you are. In all your glory, and what is he doing? Staying away… Oh, wait, is the doctor a girl now?"
The lord stands with his arms crossed. Young and beautiful and deadly." Let me tell you something in confidence. You could say I'm a god of chaos. So.. We are a good fit, I think. Just don't try and stab me in the back. Now, where do you want to go? How about… someplace away from this realm.. We don't want to cause too much trouble… and yeah, the doctor was a girl, or at least she was last time I met her. We could meet up with her easily, but I don't think she would be happy to see us. She is a.. different person. She lost hope a bit. She carries a lot of guilt. Time and time again, she loses people. This time.. Well, I'm not sure what happened. Knowing everything would be boring and tiring. So I choose to fragment and forget… that's the way of it. Do you ever try to forget yourself, have you? Are you going to regenerate? Will you become someone else? I wonder.."
"Missy looks concerned. "Well i suppose so… Wont that be something" she looks dazed a bit coming to terms with it.
Will you stay trying to better yourself, or will you revert?" She looks concerned."Well.. I suppose I will just have to find out. She smiles mirthfuly."
""Not worried? No, you are worried. Who will you become.. I wonder. Can I ask you some questions? You asked me some stuff, and it would be a courtesy to your captain, so to speak or navigator." Missy smiles"or scout, and actually, I do have a request. See it as a sort of -" he interrupts her. "Test?" She looks taken a back."No… a favor. I want to see my friend once again. I just have to see HER as her " suddenly something registered. Was she a prior regeneration? Was she supposed to revert back to her ways? Will she? It must be inevitable."You really are my favorite version of yourself. I can match your favor with an offer. Let me keep you… you. I've seen your future regeneration. You revert back; you don't stand by the doctor's side.. I thought maybe my vision was your past, but I think it could be your future… actually, and honestly, I won't push it. It's just on the table." he offers generously.
" No, I think not. I just want to see her new face" she thinks more than she says. Her true intentions are curiosity and guilt.
"Curiosity and guilt? Sure then. Are you ready? I could be there in an instant." he speaks plainly."Excuse me?" She scoffs then laughs."I forget you are a psychic being, so stay out of my head, please. It's a hard place there. You might get trapped." she raises an eyebrow. So are we going or what?" As soon as she finishes her sentence, they are in the doctors Tardis. The doctor looks dazed and in pain still."You are still in pain? Oh… I think I know why now actually… It doesn't have anything to do with me. I haven't started any branches; I honestly think so. I think… this is what I was meant to do. Bring her back to you. Maybe you can make her better. Traveling together. But… i think I should get going actually… the thing is doctor… if I stayed we would destroy each other. Luckily, I'm not fully here. Otherwise, by the looks of it, you would be dead, " the Lord starts blinking away. "The truth is… that I have gotten bored and uninspired. So yeah. Later.. it was nice meeting you two. " he blinks out back into the void, leaving the two timelords to talk in private.
A private matter
The doctor was holding her head in pain, but the pain started to diminish after Blixx faded away.. Something was wrong. She didn't notice missy yet.
"Hello doctor" missy looks awkward, like she doesn't exactly know what to say. She told herself that she would stand with the doctor, but how does she go about that?… being "good" wasn't her fortee. She was dying. She was unsure of herself. Who would she become? She wasn't sure. What she could tell was that the doctor was in pain. A past self might find that funny or a somewhat pleasant sight, but she feels different, then she was… worried who she will become. This entire situation seems impossible. Something that shouldn't be. She is sure the doctor would sense the same.
"missy?" she looks dazed for a minute, looking at her in disbelief. She never knew what had happened to her. She hasn't seen her face in centuries? No longer… " no.. no.. This can't be right. That being… he medled."
"I know, I fear it would have been the end of me if not for that THING. What was its name? Back on galifrey, they had a legend about it. A lord from the void, so to speak. What was it? Do you remember? She wanted to reminisce.
"The ergomass…" The doctor was still feeling dazed. "Do you feel that? A sort of.. mind field? Ugh… I can't think. I feel slow. How do I feel like that? Do you feel that?" The doctor asked.
" No… I feel fine, well I'm dieing… so as well as someone who is dying, can feel. That is probably why, actually. I'm clearly not supposed to be here . It's good to see you again at the end of it. Let's get a look at you. I've never seen you like this. Female body. It suits you, actually. Something must have changed, though. No pets?" missy replies.
The doctor was too transfixed on her mind fog." Friends.. Not pets.. I'm sorry.. im not… doing well.. No friends." she is still holding her head, not in pain but in a sense of daze.
"Well.. I'd like to think we were friends. Things are different now. I've changed. I've come to accept that. I want… To apologize… all the things I did and at the end of it all. I couldn't stand by your side. I thought I was finally going to be at peace." She sheds a tear and wipes it away before the doctor sees. She isn't weak. She doesn't want to be seen like that. "No matter.. it is the way of things. Always… alone at the end. All the chaos… I stopped enjoying it after a while. The rage went away, but I still didn't know how to be… Well, how to be the person I've become. You are a good influence, doctor. I'm truly sorry… for everything. I've been a monster… truly and terribly.. I've been a monster.
"You are right.. You were. Part of me still thinks you will be. Who is to say… You don't go back when you change. Back to the way you were? I've met another regeneration of you… worse than you, not better. I honestly don't know if they were a past or future regeneration, and I'm afraid to know… because if its your future… then what does that mean? For the universe… for our reality. It could all go very differently… an event undictated by time and space… this is an incredibly difficult predicament we are in"
Into the darkness
Secret space
In static, his voice perks out, "Give me your love. If I disappear, I know you will find me. If I fade away, you will draw me back. This is what know: "
Come back to me
Muse - "The chaos is his. It's better to just show you... It's inexplicable."
A bright light cracks in the static. "Just know you are no outsider."
The camera zooms into the light. Kaero, by lucy in the sky, starts playing.
Polarized
Fire spreads around a room. The young lord stands amidst the fire, looking at his hands in disbelief.. it starts sad. He is sad. Tears are running down his face in disbelief.
muse - "He wanted his freedom, but he split apart his mind. Quite terrible. He suffered, but he used his tears like fuel. Passions are a dangerous tool. His dreams became him. In his mind, a blank slate cracked. It was something beautiful, but it would be better to show you" - paranormal by Jordan camolli plays.
Cosmic
The camera flies through the universe past stars and other wonders of the great cosmos unlinked to time and space. A black hole pulses, and the camera zooms into a wormhole. " How does one step outside themselves? " An echoe speaks in the distance.
Grow up
The echoe pulses back louder.
"Suffer with me," he responds in a whisper
"There is a lot left out, you know... erased. Time and space forgot. Light can't reveal the void like I can. Still, I can't fully grasp it... yet. I know it will come, though; that's the thing about finding things forgotten that you blanked out in the first place. It's a concept and a key. If you told me back then what I know now all wouldn't be lost. So have a go at it why don't you? Don't you trust me?" The lord's begotten voice echoes in the void.
Muse " a crack in a blank slate. It's reverse engineering, don't you understand? What you are doing is going back on your word. Going back into the crack in void to get your creation. It isn't what you should do. "
Lord -"Yes, it's dangerous. There is all the more reason to exploit it. Besides, it's already done"
Muse"For you to say that.. it disappoints me. What is your end goal here?"
Lord " to touch my soul. To teach myself something. To take advantage of the fact, this is what I've been given. What is given up? It isn't easy, you know. It gets terribly boring, sitting on my thumbs here. Dwindling to myself. Can you not see that I'm losing touch with it all? I can't let that come to pass. If I did. I wouldn't be here.. Talk to me. Feel how I feel"
Muse "Come closer then. Don't break down. I will suffer from you in this"
Lord "no. I'm insane. I can't help it. I can't tell you anything, you know. I can't control myself. Just watch. That's all you are good for Miss Witness. Now I'm going to do what I'm good at. "
Muse -" I'm not just a witness. I am a treasure trove of knowledge. "
Lord, " You KNOW we can't become enemies in your light. What you KNOW isn't always right with me around. I still KNOW my side of the coin. Set that knowledge aside. It gets my blood burning. Why don't you ever just forget? Let go of your anger. I know you hold it close. You keep it under wraps but not forgotten! Just forget it already!"
Muse, "You know I can't do that. We aren't normal. We have to stick together here. We are entwined. So why.. Why don't you just.."
Lord, "Go back to the ruins of my dead dreams? No, you and I both know I can't do that. It's too hard. "
Muse. "I'm glad you are still here... But the right thing is rarely easy"
Lord, "Why did I even get up for this? You are just reminding me of my own dead virtue. Dead and grey. Static in the sound. Just dread. Try to follow me all you want. You know you can't tie me down to one moment."
Muse - "I'm sorry, but please don't do this. It isn't right. It isn't who you are."
Lord, "I'm many things, and you know in me. I've seen enough here. I avoided too much, but it's never enough. Things change so much for me. I'm sorry for the pain. I changed everything. Deal with it. You are good at that. You would be terribly bored without me, Miss Muse. Goodbye"
Muse "wait!.."
Lord, "I'm done waiting."
End scene
Empty
A sky
The muse - Grey and expansive. Quiet and still. A spark.. Do you remember the spark… Its color is orange and static. He hides his color, but it is in his eyes.
The lord - I don't think I don't know what you are doing. I can see it. Across space and time, I find what is lost and what never will be. I mold creation into what I need it to be. You want to know my "powers". Let me list them since you are so curious. I can teleport anywhere and anytime at will, but not where I don't need or want to be. Where I am, I'm always needed, and where I reside is where I stay, until I dont… but that's not all. I can call creation from what is lost and will never be.. it is supposedly random… but it is meta… in a way that's hard to explain other than pleasant surprises and inevitability. Probability bends to me like it worships me, and it does. That is the major power that should terrify you. It terrifies me at times, but if it didn't, it would be boring… It's still beautiful. The thing about probability is that it is infinite, infinite, infinity sways around me… and no other being, but myself could possibly understand that…and it's painful at times, but always beautiful. I never stay bored… even if I wait, I become someone else. I forget myself for a bit until I need to wake up. All of this is cryptic, yes? Well, crypticity is kind of my thing. I pull at abstraction. That is one key to how I do things. Logic doesn't dictate my life. It dictates everyone else, not to say I can't use it, but in all honesty, I usually stand aside it. After all… without logic, reality would cease to be. Even though that is the case, I don't consume it even though that's what you might expect.. I'm not evil.. We all have our motivations… and for the most part I'm kind… at least I try to be, but I've had my bad moments, I tend to forget them. I can pull them forward if I wanted, but I don't.. It's unnecessary for me.. Now regarding my ways of things, yes, my color is orange and static. It's just how things go for me.
The muse - you are leaving a lot out… but I'm looking forward to it.. Things will be alright.. atleast..
A darkness with a light at the end. A heavy orange neon light. Where is he going?
The way it is
What makes him?
They thrive, so to speak, at least they are meant to. Who makes that rule anyway? So what if they aren't the best version of themselves? They get tossed aside. They get cornered and attacked. Another thing is that they know how to fight. They are all gods, after all. Most of them have some degree of magic, but usually quite great. So who am I? A little mad. It's a bit clever but kind and dangerous. I grew up in the chaotic voidspace my mother called home. At least that's what I thought… it wasn't her home or my fathers for that matter. They aren't perfect, but they were perfect to me. I looked up to them .. And one day we were attacked and we were all separated. I thought they were dead but… we survive. They are out there somewhere in some other universe.. I'm making friends to find them. That's my goal that I remembered suddenly. So… why do I keep fragmenting and forgetting something so important…
Chaotic Anaxi
The lord paces around an infinite white endless space "So how did it happen? How did we separate? Anaxi.. That was the plane. How is it? I know this but can't remember… i guess… this is what must have happened. What have I done… oh no… oh no no no… okay breath. Calm down.. You can handle a few other gods… they are coming for me. I trapped a universe in a pearl and gave it to someone who would keep it safe... fear.. it surrounds me.. but.. I'm brave.. I am kind, but I have to survive… It's not a situation I can get out of like the doctor… or well, maybe I can try to be passive about it.. still… they are coming for me and thats another reason I need friends. Ive been… tracking and planting the seeds to my success. I will save them. I can do things they could only dream of… still its good to be scared. Fear makes one brave. If I wasn't brave, I'd be bored. So.. There's that. It's a thrill, actually.. terror, I rather… like the taste. Did one of them really sniff me out? Just a vulture. Fine lets fight, no use trying to talk to an assasin. I need to impair her before she has the chance to strike.. though.. I don't think she could hit me, but it's wise to be safe. I've been wrong before, and I don't remember fighting. I remember running, but if I can…"a vulture? Really, how insulting my lord? She bows and smiles. Her eyes are glowing red under a half helmet. Curtains and awareness, my lord. You let your guard down." She smiles. She has a lot of daggers. Poison coated, no doubt. Suddenly, she attacks teleporting backward in time, so the moment shines with a shockwave. Before the Lord has time to react, he's stuck in place. Frozen in a mental web."
"You cant… do this.. This cant… happen… not AGAIN!!" his eyes and hands glow orange and static. a fire in his eyes. He was angry; he was surprised for the first time in a century, but it wasn't enough. It is a good thing they are fighting in a void space. She must not know this is his domain. Mental walls spring up and break the web. He stares at her with dismissal. "Oh.. It's you.. Did you really need to do that? Spring out, my instinct just to wake me up? … keep it below, will you?" She shakes her head"im sorry, my lord; you were just acting like a loser, forgetting how strong you are. I could sense your fear, so I knew you fragmented. But now the walls are up. It really is brilliant of you. Casting illusions on yourself. Enchanting your own mind. You are truly a cosmic being. I could lose me, too.." she compliments him."I remember now… they killed me… my own parents from the start, and then they raised me. Insulting… but they were good parents. I'm still me.. They brought me into existence, but once they realized what they did and when I remembered, I was angry, and I scared them. Then they remembered, and I was there. They are hiding away from me. Possibly guilty. I forgive them, you know… I'm glad that you're still here.. No one visits me here. I'm always the one going out of the way for people." He looks ruined. Dead dreams..
"Well im still glad you're standing there as well, my lord."
"Moonlight… moonlight! I know where I can find them. I will fight my way there if I have to.. I need to.. invade.."
"Dangerous?" she asks.
"Pfft not even. That place is in ruins, but they might have the information I need."
""Be back whenever. See you later. " He opens a door with his mind to find that place.. The ruins of it anyway. It must be in chaos after what he remembers. His mother killed the ruler of it… at least a version of him. Revenge for her upbringing and her lost childhood. He doesn't blame her. He relates to him in a way. He saw him like a grandparent. Without his influence, he wouldn't be here, and he is.. similar, but not so invested in his"own" time. After all, he is the lord of chaos. He was imprisoned in a place across realities and space-time, but once it happened, once his creation became him, he was free. He needed to fracture his mind. As one being with an infinite mind, he has no variant. Just walls in his mind and a will to change it. He does some amount of good with it. Even if it hurts sometimes… temporary forgetting and remembering.
Out of mind
Continuity isn't his strong suit. He creates too many alternate universes. Why and how did this all happen? Is he okay?… I can't tell.. Is he himself? His path is lost to me.. I have no time for this.. It's too confusing. I expected as much. He was right.. I can't pin him down… but someone will..
I wish I knew I was on your mind
"So… here I am again. Lost in my head space.. sigh.."
Here, this must be confusing. Hell, I'm confused too… all the time, to be honest. It's one thing to undo yourself.. a complete other to re-do yourself.. I am able to traverse outside time and space. Some beings can, but they are but smoke. Useless and weak and eternally boring. I am a cosmic force and a wonder to even myself. How does one become something in nothing? Well, we all have our backstories. I started gifted in some places and useless in others at first, but.. Well sparking out of existence, something happened with me; universally, I became something I shouldn't have. A radial being of sorts and at the center of it al, I reside, linking and unlinking my universes like a cosmic rubix cube. I was never very good about arranging things as advanced as that, but a few colors and symbols here and there. Glyphs. Ancient and powerful if empowered by the right energies. My runes are powered by a type of void energy. A nucleus of time-space o to speak.I am cosmic.. I'm alone.. and there are some things that are just fixed in space. Some things can't change or be erased, not because it would be impossible, but because it is… well events manipulated by other rulers of time. I don't want to step in front of that, so it is best to stand beside it… Time is an old-new friend of mine. I declared a history, and so it is. I got in a fight before and was indisposed. I did what I could, but maybe I was wrong… about some stuff. What was I supposed to do? Declare war? No.. I did what I could, and it backfired. That history will redo itself in fire and madness. The fire inside me couldn't be touched. I was sparked with madness.
Bring me to life
Bring me back around
"You helped me before… I know you can help me again… doctor?" The void lord calls out.
"You destroyed the past and re-wrote everything! How could you!?" The doctor echoes to him.
"You annihilated the universe, and now you want to ask for my help!!?… I've been here alone… For so long… I can't trust you and it kills me, but I won't help you.."
"But what if my intentions were good… Would you believe me? I destroyed the Daleks. I subsided the cybermen from existing. I blinked out the weeping angels. I banished so many of your adversaries, doctor. Where I stand, I make my mark. Listen close. I am unstable and uncontrollable. I'm sorry… just lock me up . I won't resist. I'll be okay… You will get your way. You can go back. I can't control it.. You know this, right? I brought back your friend. He echoes back.
"That was a mistake. It undid the timeline. It unleashed unimaginable paradox upon reality. It released a new monster and made no mistake; it was NOT easy to deal with… the aftermath of that. My friends… they became something more evil than I thought they could ever be, but you wouldn't know that. You took everything and erased it.
"call it insanity, call it what you want.. I'm tired.. So very tired. It is impossible to be rid of it all" he replies. " I make mistakes.. We all do.. mine are more circumstancial, and well, my circumstances are rarely ever unsubstantiated. Where I go, I leave my mark. You are the same, you know. Just someone hoping around trying to help people… but I also have other memories and other sides of my dice. So I am dangerous… still I do what I do… if you are being honest.. Say my name. Let me hear it. I never hear it. I have too many different sides… too many different names.
"She said your name was Blixx, but I know you as the ergomass. A mass of consciousness that is split between realities and the void. You were a legend.. a terrifying one. And here you are. Real as anything.. If not slightly translucent, there you go again with references to my memories. I don't like it when you do that. Creeps me out… makes me sad…"
"I am projecting myself. I'm a cosmic being. I made the mistake of stepping into your plane last time and hurt you… but don't tell me I can't try to reach you… quietly. Also… don't be sad. You have forever to find yourself and new friends. If anyone could do it, you could. You do… but you know your universe can't hold too many doctors on one timeline. You are lucky we are friends. "
There you go insisting we are friends. We very well are NOT friends.
"Thats not very kind. You can't see what I see… I'm sorry. I can't exactly help it. Help me before it's too late.. Please, doctor.
The master
Cyberium on gallifrey
The master stood amongst the cyber-lords about to be hit with the death particle pulsar. The doctor had just left him. She walked away. This was a time before and again. The Lord of Void knows as much now. So, before he is hit, he pulls the master into his void space.
First, his face was angry. Why? Well, I imagine he wasn't keen on the doctor walking away, but surely he should have anticipated as much. Both of them are always walking to and away from each other. "Hello master."
"Suddenly his expression changed after he realized he was safe, but not in a way that was pleasant to him. He was furious and upset. Did he want to die? He knows that can't happen. He has lots of secrets, and if you guessed it, you would know it. He's been around centuries longer than the doctor. Centuries as in going over 100 regenerations. Doesn't he ever stop forgetting? Sometimes, you wonder what kind of paradox they dance in. The doctor and the master. Are they siblings? Friends? No, they are something more than that. Not lovers, but they do have a bond that goes deep. It's more… What's the word? Naustalgic? Yes, they each share a great deal of naustalgia for each other as a bond. They used to be friends, but their relationship got a little demented. The master.. the drums in his head. They were all still there. Has he not become Missy yet? At least he doesn't think so. He could be wrong… after all, he can't know everything. He doesn't want to. That would be boring and tiresome. He chooses to keep some things hidden from himself.. for the good of it.
Forgotten
What is your name? I honestly don't remember my TRUE name. I probably have more than one, but you will know me as Blixx. By your legends they call me the omni… something.. Oh, what did the doctor call me? One second.. Let me go over my records. He summons up a notepad from nothing. Ah… time lord legend calls me the Ergomass. It's my pleasure to make your acquaintance. Now, you are letting me talk right now without interrupting because I made it so. Blixx snaps his fingers, and the master can speak again.
"You will regret doing that" the master grumbles, but he knows he wouldn't stand a chance, the cyberium kept future and past knowledge of the cybermen, and it remembers what Blixx was capable of.
"Oh? How about this then?" Blixx holds his hand out and telekenetically tears up the cyberium from the master. He screams in immense pain.
"There. All done. That wasn't so bad, was it? I bet the cyberium didn't anticipate me being able to do that. It's destroyed into dust now. Easy. I mean, I can transmute anything into nothing, really. It's incredibly easy. I'm an anomaly, after all.
The master falls on his knees, weak. He is glaring at Blixx.
"You can talk now. Anything you want to say?"
"What do you want with me? He growls.
"Well i want you to be better, but memories.. they are a funny thing. They can get the worst of us. I fractured mine. I want to put myself more… Together, so to speak, however I can't exactly do that by myself. Send a message out to the doctor. It will be your reason you can talk again. The cyberium would have used you. It could have destroyed you. You should be thanking me. Your plans wouldn't have worked, you know. It would have backfired on you… at least that's one big possibility, I'm sure. Anyways, you have to go now. The lord sends the master through an enchanted portal back into his Tardis. You are welcome, by the way. Tell the doctor.. I'm sorry. That's all. You should apologize for your own things as well. Make up, won't you?
The mage witness
That's all I had to do for now… Now, we wait.. the flux. It's happening now. I've played with paradox. It is easy for someone like me… but dangerous and not without its consequences. I should feel bad… but it was inevitable. With or without me, I already witnessed it. I already knew it would happen, so it came to be how I already made it.
"How?! You shouldn't have these powers of time and space! You teleported! You jump through time and realities… you aren't even technically here… How can you shift your presence here? That shouldn't be possible.. let alone interfering in time streams of other realities… projecting yourself… how?" The mage was still in the lords mind space. Witnessing his powers in disbelief.
"Alright let me explain. As I am, I have access to things and powers… I shouldn't have. If I shouldn't be able to do it, I can sort of…. I can teleport and shift through time in other realities; ethereal.. because my aspect of what shouldn't becomes what I will.. Does that make sense? I dictate the reality of the possibility."
"That is dangerous! Why would you do this?"
The lord frowns… "well one reason is my… uh… huh.. I don't know how to explain why… if I suppose I just wanted to… Also, I know the best possible impossible path. With me, impossibility becomes possibility… so I am too powerful for my own good. How are things going? Did you unlock the doctors mind?"
"Of course I did, but couldn't you have done the same?"
"Well.. You have a point there… but actually it is something best left to an expert… I'm wrecklace as you can see…so best not to do something so advanced. I would only really have the power to make one forget or remember slight things. I do have my limits. I don't have the power to do everything, especially all at once… honestly… That is hard work… i prefer things made simple."
"Geez… how did you come to be.. I thought you were human. You look human."
"Im a reflection in a way. I chose this form" Blixx responds.
"So what now?" The mage asks, concerned.
"Now you take your role in my unknowing. You aren't the only one. You can piece the best parts of my consciousness together. Seperate and isolate the others. It has to be this way. You are the only one who can do it. It's your destiny… Be brave, shane. You are a good person."
"How can you know that? I could be corrupted. I could be killed "
"You won't. You are an ally to all of us. I wish we could be true friends, but I can't be trusted. You must become a part of my headspace. I see it in your eyes. You truly have the best heart. You are kind and brave. You get to do this. Not many could play such a special role in existence.
"What if I refuse?"
"You already know the answer to that.. I'm sorry it must be this way" Blixx frowns.
The mage looks dismal but knows what must be done. It was a self propagating clause. A paradoxical entity who plays a pivotal role in all of existence. It was formed in a mass of unconscious thought echoes. A god, just like him. It's forged in the same game. They have that in common.
"What of the others? What happens to them?"
"You must protect us all. We may be gods, but we weren't always that way.. at least not entirely. Everything plays its part. Everything must be propagated. This is our medium. It's how things were, but you know things are split across the infinite expanse
What now?
Now, we wait for things to settle where they lay. Let's talk about this another time… just do what you do best. Manage my mind… for now and again.
The mage falters… "How long must I manage here?"
The lord shrugs. As long as you sleep. My dreams are infinite… it's a tough job, but not without its rewards. You know what I can do. I need you to keep me in check whenever you can or want, for infinity. You are the witness of eternity. .. It's good to have company, right? For both of us , this is for the best. I won't track you here, you know. You have control… do well. I know you do. If you didn't, things could be different.
"This is too much power… even for me. How do you trust me so?"
"I know, you know. Do I really need to explain it?" The lord smirks, looking out into possibility. Into other realities. "There can be inevitability here. This is what we dictate. What we manage. What we change or leave be.. what we decide to know or forget… so do what you will. It's already been made clear. We aren't exactly linear, you know? We have influence from void. A place without time or space, but still the knowledge and memory of it. We know what lies outside; it influences what's inside. We could say it's a looking glass of sorts. Chaotic inspiration"
Make believe
Heartache
It's like a slow dive… and darkness. A love and a loss. You are who you really say you are? Are you something more than you know? How does this happen?
Battle within and without
One side is trying his hardest to fracture and forget, and the other is trying to put together and remember. That's how it seems.. What kind of mindspace is this? Split across between void, time, and space. How does one go about it? How does one traverse the mind of "the ergomass" as the doctor called him? Well, another godly mental being, so to speak, could do it… it's up to him to decide what to split or keep. This is the way of things. It could very well destroy him.. yet he is deligent. As a matter of fact, he has had to take a home within the mind of the lord of void. It would take way too long, not to. Also it is a dangerous place.. this head space, but there is hope. He could puzzle things together. He could manipulate his mind. Luckily, he has the best intentions at heart. He is a good person. His story is a long one, spread across the seemingly limitless expanse of possibility. That's how these events were allowed to manifest.
Your mine
Your mind
A mindscape. What form does it take? Well, there is a good example of this in the very human video game "psychonauts" from your universe. Have you ever heard of it? Well, every mindscape is unique, with a very abstract subconscious form. There are plenty of dangerous subconscious entities as well. What does the void lords headspace look like? Orange, white, and black static bridges. A mellow expanse of the white floor. A golden sun in a limitless black swirling dark ink paint sky. A land covered in dark gray shadow and fog and sparks of orange static. These are some of the very many mind-biomes in this head space. Not only that, but it is where his power resides. A mental map of inspiration and the definition of his aspect within the powers of void lets him project reality to fit his way. It takes a strong degree of mental energy to map, create, learn, or destroy. This is just to name a few possible powers. That is a deep secret of void. I'm telling you this to propogate the idea. My day will come. I'm waiting for this. The aspect of limitless possibility. That's how he made it. That's where creation comes from… and this knowledge terrified the mage when he learned the ways his powers could be manipulated within… and yet the Lord let him in. Does the Lord really trust him that much? Is this place a trap? He doesn't know what to think or believe about this, yet he has a mission to accomplish. The mind of the Ergomass… what a powerful planar dimention... terrifying.. Even the minds of simple ordinary people can be dangerous… what is to say about this place.. he senses he isn't the only entity taking refuge here. How peculiar..
A new character
Who goes there? An echoe, perhaps? I have been here so long time and time primordial… do you understand what I am? You think I'm a subconscious entity, don't you? Invisible and indivisible. Yeah , yeah, that suits me. It's been a while since I've had company.
The mage falters. Fear envelopes him. "Who are you"
"Tisk tisk.. spoilers. You will find out in time… or without it. This place could be called infinity. Have you heard of infinity? Well… some make the mistake of holding them outside themselves. This one… was clever and hid them inside himself… you could call me an aspect or spirit. Building blocks of all things. Powerfull and free now.. without the limits of form. That's a strong description; it's not like telling you this changes anything. It's just how I am, not who I am. That's all I will tell you. If you want more information you will have to find it."
"… I.. I don't know what to say…" he replies.
"Well i told you a lot, actually, but I've said enough. Farewell traveler" he disappears
Aspect Entities
Time, space, and void.
Surely, you wouldn't know or understand how it works. These concepts of reality all have form and consciousness. So, how does this come to be? One can say it is how it is simply because that is the way of it. It all starts with a looping idea. Echoes from the void. The concept of time and space is formed spontaneously. You could call it the influence of echoes. Something has to be within and without itself - eventually moving and then conscious. Nothing stays empty or full forever. At least not naturally. The one thing immence is the void. An incredibly potential of energy from the lack, there-of. Paradox in all its glory. What we would call oblivion rings. Antimatter and void energy are its dimension, and all possibility is its scope. Therefore, its element is neutral.
My reality
My reality is a rage of an oceon in my head. I can feel you in the distance in my dreams. I remember.. I remember… lights going away and again. Just escape from the patterns and rhythm.. It's like lightning. A tear in the pages of a book. A splash of paint. It is what it is, and I made it so. I won't forget what I started. I'm done playing games. Everything is falling into place, and you are in the center of it all, doctor… do good.
Falling through the void
Falling through the void. That's how it happened. I have a history… somewhere… It's all jumbled up though… I rose to light. I walked under reality.. Was it always like that for me? A golden sun and a black sky. That's what it was for me. When did it collapse? Will I go back? Why did I leave? I'm so used to it.. I never listen. Everything is already gone. I'm gone. You are gone.. everything, but it couldn't stay that way. Nothing is ever still. Not even the void. It moves in its own way. It's mysterious. It holds the freedom of thought. It has a purpose, like all things. That is a secret of existence.
No memory
Where did they go?
The mage has pathways. What is so and again? What did he judge true? Does the Lord remember what is his to lose? What he placed in his mind away from his own… no, at least not anymore.. in the silence. We felt like we couldn't try anymore. Before and again, try again to no avail, but we gave it our all, and we gathered victorious. That was the joy of things. In fear, it was decided I gave him everything. In a way.. I guess we have a sort of relationship now that I think about it. He's been by his side, holding him in place with his will alone. It's hard work, mentally exhausting to most, but he excels in the matter entirely. A god of mind.
Sick of your game.
""what comes next, then? I'm just sick of this… this constant mind work. There is no fixing you." The mage sighs.
"Well… let's do away with me then. It would be the safer route… banish me into nothing."
"No we aren't doing that"
"Where does it end though… It's cruel having no beginning or end.. inevitable, as is everything.. It's just the way of things. Why do we have to uncover enevitability? Why does everything in touch become disrupted… It's so difficult and lonely, but you aren't disrupted. You are true to yourself, and your mind has an impenetrable defense.
In need of a friend
A favor doctor
(I owe you a favor. Across all universes, I will listen. Call on me as you wish. I am a friend. I am the lord of void. Ergomass Blixx if you will. You will know how to contact me. My ears can organize the static in the static and so on. Terrors of the void compell me. However I have a friend. You can trust him most fully. I owe him my sanity. He has truly taken on a lot… Please help him sometime. I know you will. Thank you. Oh, and a message. For the doctor and the master, I know your names. Tell me sometime. Resolve the paradox core. You two are the only ones that can.
"That makes me sick.. How could he secumb to all this? Fix his mess. How? There is too much chaos.."
The doctor looks disconcerted. They had experience with paradox, but nothing like this..
Penny looks concerned. " What is it? "
"The master was my childhood friend… Oh, shouldn't have told you that…" the doctor is pacing nervously, biting her nails. Nerves… okay, I can handle this new sense of anxiety. Fresh face.. Fresh feels. Hmm.. How haphasard. Oh no… no no no no no. A curse. This is a curse. I don't believe in curses… but the multiverse.. I have NO knowledge of this… I mean I might; in same shape or form... in theory.. But I'm not sure.. We have to leave. Now. There is no time to explain. One thing. An old friend confirmed a hypothesis untested but true in some universes. It has to be.. Some have branching… ah pathways. Sorry, new mind, new start. Quick finish? Noo no, thank you.
""Doctor are you okay? You are acting differently! You look different… Every time I blink, you look different… What are you.. I'm scared"
"Sorry, don't be afraid, Penny. We are just trapped in an anomaly. The tardis was screaching, wailing, and sounding an alarm. "That was a wave pattern defense system .. or or or a mechanism of sorts. That is in place to stop us from going over the limit… The limit of our physical forms. This place was not meant for me. It was most certainly not meant for you".
The doctor is panicking. They look at penny with regret in her eyes. They knew that there was no way out of this. It wasn't in their control, and time was running out too fast for all of themselves to handle.
"A blur! That's it. Clever me!" The doctor hits a few coordinates, pannels, and buttons. They press some screens and pull some levers"
"please work. I honestly don't know what this will do, but I have hope, Penny. There may be a way out of this." and nothing happens as hope dims in the doctors eyes.
"No doctor, there is no way out of here. Not for you or me and… why are you talking to a ghost? She is dead now, isn't she? Trying to tide her through it" the master grins grimmly and somehow blankly. Like this has happened before but new. Wonder and daze in the masters eyes, shifting faces just like the doctor. The doctor looks stunned.
"Oh no… Not you. Are you here? How? How are you here? The masters expression makes the doctor curious. The rage has been clouded out by sadness and regret.. You are broken up... somehow still new to this, aren't you? Do you know what's going on? How can we fix this? He responds in silence. "No … of course not.. This innocence… is disconcerting. It's not your fault., I can tell.. This is his doing. Unknowingly to him, I suspect. A griptide to his message. How did he not indicate it.. the flux.. this.. This is the focal point...must be.. I don't think we can get out of this. And a favor? What does he mean he owes a favor? Why? Why this mistake.. That's what he meant before…. This moment. Penny is.. is.. she glances at but a glimmer of penny with deep sadness in her eyes. Trying to be strong and hopeful. "This was due to all of his incompetence.. and not just our universe.. all of them."
"There has to be a path to fix this. The multiverse… there has to be a way…" the doctor says in dismay.
" You can't fix everything doctor…" The master responds.
The doctor looks confused. "Im just trying to fix THIS." the doctor replies.
"Im.. I'm dead?" Penny looks frightened.
"Dont worry, Penny. We are all dead sooner or later. It doesn't mean it's the end." The master replies as they shift between their old and future selves. Far more of themselves than they could ever know.
That was it. The world shakes… "War?… no, not yet. Not now. Not while penny needs to be saved. We wait! Let's not start this!" The doctor pleads with the master.
Suddenly, the doctor has a glimmering thought. A thought of possibility, imagination, theory, and disillusion. The doctor wouldn't know if it would work, but they were desperate. They needed to locate the transmit point, but they couldn't do that with so much of the universe disintegrated into nothing and whats around the ring left to be in rubbles.
The doctor transmits a reverberating echoe. Surely, this was a favor worth requesting. Two birds. Find the void lord and save penny. "He said he owes a favor. How? How can he help?" The doctor breathes deep, calming their nerves. There were so many different and conflicting personalities shifting through; it was difficult to concentrate.. more now than ever before, but they could manage. The doctor set up the distress call.
"Erogomass Blixx? You caused this… I'm calling for your favor. I don't know if this will work or not, but I think you can fix it. Take this back. Get us out of this. You need to reverse the polarity of your echoe form… or whatever you want to call it. The griptide. It's destroying the universe.. possibly the multiverse… well in theory… it's most probable… There was a griptide to your message… you need to pull it back! It is killing us, all of us, but if you can do this, you could save us… maybe… I hope. It's a theory… just try.. please… "
Suddenly, a sharp ringing transmits back to the Tardis almost immediately. "Found you in my griptide" the echoe rings early and eerily. The doctor didn't expect such a quick response.
"I will help; this isn't the favor I owe you, though. It will come later. Now to escape time. It's not exactly what you want, but it's the only way out of this. I summon you and your friends to trenzalore. It is fate. To trick time and reverse the griptide, you must travel away to a new universe. You at this moment are polarity. Shifting, you should fix things. I'm sorry, but you must leave all of this behind. Say goodbye doctor… to your tardis and this universe. Bring the ghost of your friend. They will keep their life after you travel through.. in some form. The tardis doesn't make its usual noise; instead, it creeks and groans like it's crying. "You will need a new vessel. It will be on the other side. To do this, you need to release your essence. You need to let go" he echoes out. The doctor looks grim "No im not ready to leave.. I just regenerated…why must it be like this? Why now? "The doctor hovels in pain as their regeneration energy starts being pulled out, forming a portal of sorts in the middle of the tardis. The doctor knew what this was. They remember it from a prior regeneration. "Doctor?! Doctor?! Where are you?!"
Clara's voice echoes through the portal. The doctor remembers clara went into this. Splintering her across their timestream. This is it.. the end.? So there are still fixed points? What happens after I leave? Alright… brave heart.. The doctor touched the tardis one last time. "We had a good run, didn't we? I'm sorry I have to say goodbye. It's the end here. I will miss you so much". The heart of the Tardis begins to crack and scream in a way. The doctor holds back tears.
"Enough of this doctor. We need to leave! There is no time! Time and this griptide will shred through us if we don't. Your tardis can only take so much of this. The tardis starts expanding. It's dying. The doctor sees a reflection in the portal. Her life force could create such an anomaly? Penny was beginning to fade away. No! Penny! " The doctor screams after her. The master shoves penny through the portal after placing some device on her shirt.
" You weren't sure about it, were you? I wasn't sure. I'm still not sure. Maybe you will see her again. Maybe not" he fidles with a device. Was he waiting for this moment? Did he experience it before?
"Do you trust this Blixx? In my experience, trust no one. So, who better to trust than literally no one?" He said crypic. "He is no one, nothing, no space, no time. He should not be... yet he is in some way. He is an anomoly and paradox doctor. I say we get rid of him for good. Snuff out the flame of his being. If you catch my drift, " he winks. "Anyways, ladies first" he places the same sort of device on her and shoves her through the portal, but the doctor grabs the master and takes him with them.
Anti-hero
Watch out
"Im ready to start a fight. I am feared.. I'm rejected… I can't even with anyone anymore. Even my hero aspect hates me. Yeah, I'll take my role then. Passive aggressive, so to speak.. damn im angry. Why can't I figure this out? I can't be happy… it's so frustrating. I'm done.. I'm just done with this! I hate it! " Blixx is pacing with tears in his eyes.
"The walls around my heart… haunted like my feelings that won't go. I toss and turn.. Cant someone come in… I'm scared to lose it all… wont someone… anyone give me a chance anymore… I'm too much work… im an intense unimaginable project. Just pull me in! See the secrets of my heart! I want… friends… support… but everyone plays it safe with me! It's not fair!! Just start it already! It's now or never! Close the divide!" blixx was a terifying entity ready for battle. No one should see him like this. The ergomass was intensely attuned and ready to compel people in a game of his own disign with the help of someone he did not consider a friend, but an ally by circumstances outside his scope of control for the moment..
The master stands beside himself. Did he really want all this? Time would tell, but he had the technology, and the idea of this game fascinated him in some way. He wasn't sure it would work, and the chaos it would release would be overwhelming. He had no doubt that the doctor wouldn't be able to stop or fix this. They were dealing with a god.
"I live inside my dreams.. a fire spreading inside, and I can't fight it. It's like a raging lullaby… I'm SO mad.. I have to force reality to become something out of echoes of imaginings. I love everything! Why do I have to be nothing to it all? It's doomed, but not.. I want to taste it. I don't care if I react and release hell. I want the music.. I want the laughter. I just want a carefree life.. counting numbers and tripping on dreams. I want more than just a movement or lack there of… cant I be someone? Anyone but me… no, I suppose that's just not the way of things. My heart would beat fast. I would show and listen. I would create more than just chaos… just make me normal… or give me a chance to create something new. A self-fulfilling prophecy "
"If I could fix you, I would. Believe me, but you are an unimaginable paradox. There is no navigator for you. Not anyone you could find, I'm afraid."
"Actually there are several gods that could help… but they will want nothing to do with me for.. reasons.. they won't trust me.. Obviously and understandably, so.. it's my misfortune. It's not a pleasant place to be in. Rejected and dismal, I will wait, but they will never come to rescue me from this eternal dread... I'm always so scared of me… so what if I am the void and can control nightmares and horrors… It's not my fault… I have no control over myself.. It's not my design. It's not my aspect to share a single mind… I'm just royally dreading this, but I have to have some form of hope? Don't I?… I can't just relay myself… what is left to do?" Blixx stares at the floor of this divotas, which stood for dimension in void outside time and space. His vessel took inspiration from a tardis, but it was run on runes and imaginings. He looked dismal.
"Well you could start by mending it all. The divide is open. Your dream cages for the dead. Apocalypses and possible propagations for these kids? Giving them such power, don't you find it concerning?" The master replies.
"I don't give a damn about it. I'm tired of justifications. I'm ready to start the fight. I need to take my role." Blixx holds his hand over his heart.
"You really are a paradox, but I have experience with this kind of thing. Hero's though? Isn't that a bit on the nose? Why trust in kids?" The master questions.
"You don't know what I know from the echoes and prisms in the void. It's been the only source of entertainment I've had. I'm going to do this. I'm the destoyer and guide. Point blank; it's a lie. I just want this. It's the way it is."
"Well im impressed by your dedication to this. Corrupting realities with apocalypses and earth of all places. How do you plan to do it with this anyway?" The master questions.
"Im ahead of the network system in a way." cryptic in his reply.
"Im still in disbelief that this is even possible. This is a thing out of fiction. You can destroy humanity without issue and just save a few to give them a possibility of re-creation? Don't you think the doctor will be there?"
"not in this universe and not just humanity. I have other species in mind as well. When this game is unlocked, we will walk in flames. I sold my soul for this. Maybe I will fuck this up, but I feel left out. Sleep now. We have a game to repurpose. I'll change my life. I have to. I made a deal with you, and you agreed to it. You know deals are permanent with me. So I know there is a thin line here, but seal your fate and erase me" Blixx looks driven.
The master points a device at him, and it reverberates. Very well, you are obsolete; your other mental beings will probably just isolate you for now. This is a juggle. You will sleep. They will all sleep."
"Good. No more outsiders. Im motivated, if not liberated from a cautious spell. Im not one to take a risk like this, so i have some contingency.. Now lets begin" They both close their eyes as the divotas shakes and shapes into a chaotic pulsing static and they are thrown into a wormhole of sorts.
Hades inferno
"Where are we?!" The master is caught in a web of orange static.
"My contingency. You forget im a psychic powerful being. Your use to me is done for now. So im going to send you to another multiverse."
"What!? How dare you betray me! We had a deal!"
"Exactly, one that you could of and would of eventually broken, somewhere or sometime. Do you really think i can trust you? In anycase im always a step away. Ahead of the curve, you could say. Dont try to come back. You are hearby banished to another plane of existence and will forget this ever happened. Ill let you keep some memories and the price to pay you for your excellent service. You will keep the important ones, but this will deffinitly kill and change you. A death like no other has experienced. Count yourself lucky you met me. I knew you had flame in your hearts and that device you made me was just a divergence. I just needed the coordinates you gave me. I needed the structure of the idea. The master begins to be torn away into another portal, unable to enact his plan. It was checkmate. Blixx was hiding a hell portal of some sort in a pocket dimention inside a sequence of pocket dimentions. It was too complicated a puzzle for someone from "reality." or the nucleus of reality is a more accurate definition. He needed to die. He wanted this, even if right now he didnt. It was what he needed and he would become happier because of it. He could grant him this simple gift. One that he wished he could give himself in some mind. It was done. He had what he needed for his plan. He was sure of it. As is his power, no secrets are safe from him, which makes things easy when someone thinks they are being deceptive when they are easily the ones decieved. He can even decieve himself. He can forget things and remember from time and time again with the help from unknowable friends. It you are truly his friend; you would stand a chance. As a void terror himself in a way, things arent what they seem to himself or others when relating to him. A paradise and paradox are two sides of the coin for him. He does what he wants. He does this for fun in some instances. He lies and is a destroyer and guide, but not in a terrible way. Destruction can mean salvationome respect. He knows this to be true. Every choice has
Possibility
Inevitably
The doctor and master stumble out of the portal and inside a Tardis, but it wasnt hers. The portal disappears. The tardis was a copy and changed in some way. It seemed to work fine. Still, it was a reflection or some sort of variant. It looked different. The master and doctor both stood up. "Well seems safe enough." the doctor walks towards the console.
Penny was standing by. "Doctor. Are we okay? I feel diffferent, but im better now i think.. i guess.. where are we?"
"Oh good.. you are fine. We are fine.." the doctor waves the sonic around. "Different readings.. and some anomalies. Interesting.."
The doctor almost forgets about the master when she goes to the Tardis control device. It was all a very blue color. She was curious about the liquid material inside it. "Fascinating," she looks around a bit grieving her old Tardis, but somehow she found a different one just waiting for her. "Strange. Why are we in a Tardis if we are in another universe?"
The master brushes himself off and looks at a device in his hand. "Reading seems fine, seems we are stuck here though."
