The Time Lady and her Boys
[Doctor Who Fanfiction: The Doctor/Time Lady OC/The Master]
Chapter 7: Time Crash (Featuring: 5th Doctor, 4th Fighter and Delgado Master!)
Summary of the chapter: Unexpected faces from the past appears on the TARDIS.
The Fighter was still unconscious from her regeneration as The Doctor and The Master remained in the room watching her, waiting for her to wake up.
"She's always been there for us" The Doctor said stroking her hair as The Master nodded in agreement.
"Our Fighter...it really is just the three of us now, isn't it?" The Master asked as he stroked her hair as well. The Doctor nodded in reply as suddenly The Fighter's eyes burst open and she jolted up. She opened her mouth as she exhaled golden energy from her mouth. She then looked around surprised at her surroundings as The Doctor and The Master looked at her surprised as well.
The Fighter's eyes then stopped on The Master as she began to grin and jolted up, taking him into a hug. The Master looked shocked by this but accepted the hug anyway. The Fighter then pulled back and looked at him again. "Boy am I glad to see you!"
She then began to look at her outfit and then her hair. She looked over to see a mirror in the room and ran over as she examined her new self. She started grinning again. "Oh look at my legs!" She then grabbed her hair that was hanging down her shoulders. "New hair and a bit wavy at that! At least it's not Red or Green like it was a few regenerations back." She then looked closer in the mirror at her eyes. "Oh blue eyes. Haven't had that in a long time." She then put her hands on her chest as The Doctor looked away sheepishly and The Master just watched her grinning. "Haven't changed..." She then looked at her hands that were covered in blood from the blood that came out from her bullet shot which was now healed.
The Doctor looked back at her seeing the blood on her hands. "Oh yeah we didn't change your clothes because well..." She looked up at him and nodded understanding. "Thanks." She replied back grateful. "It just means new body, new outfit!" She ran over to them smiling as he led them to his wardrobe room.
"Hmmm...not that." She threw a shirt aside.
"Nope." She threw another outfit aside.
"Whoa!" She pulled out his rainbow scarf that he wore in his fourth incarnation. She turned to him smiling. "You know, Iv'e always loved this scarf. By how long it is, I'm surprised you didn't fall and get yourself killed or something." The Doctor smiled at her sheepishly while The Master rolled his eyes remembering the silly thing.
"Well if it isn't the rainbow suit itself!" She pulled out his rainbow coat that he wore in his sixth incarnation.
The Fighter began to giggle as The Master rolled his eyes again. She looked over at him. "I would always call him Mr. Rainbow or The Walking Rainbow when he wore this."
The Master looked at her smiling "I can see why. It was another ridiculous outfit."
The Doctor looked back and forth between them in defense. "Hey! I have a great sense of style!" The Fighter began to giggled again as she put the coat away. "Whatever you say Captain Rainbow." The Master replied sarcastically as The Fighter continued giggling.
Moments later The Fighter walked into the console area of the TARDIS wearing a white long sleeved button up shirt, pink shorts, pink thigh high socks and Pink rain boots."So what do you guys think?" She said as they turned and looked at her.
They both tried to hold in their laughter as The Doctor scratched his head and The Master was covering his mouth to hold back from laughing. "Cute, but why the rain boots?" The Doctor asked looking her up and down.
The Fighter glared over at The Master and gave off a silly pout. "Go ahead! Laugh all you want but rain boots are cool!" The Master then let out his laugh as she had her arms crossed.
"So where are we heading to next?" The Fighter asked The Doctor as she went to his side by the console. The TARDIS then began to jolt and shake violently as the three of them went crashing to the floor. The alarms shouting. They grabbed each other's hands and quickly got to their feet.
"Stop it!" The Doctor said pulling levers as it started to calm down.
"What happened?" The Fighter asked.
"Obviously he still doesn't know how to fly a TARDIS that well. I'm surprised you still have this thing, even after I stole it from you." The Master said crossing his arms grinning.
"I don't know. What was that all about? Eh? Eh?" The Doctor said ignoring him as he looked up at the TARDIS. "What's your problem?"
The Fighter then felt someone bump into her. She turned to look and see a man wearing a similar outfit to The Doctor in his fifth incarnation with a stick of celery on the lapel. "Oh sorry. Right, just settle down now" The man said.
She then bumped into a girl with blonde hair, blue eyes and wearing a dress similar to Alice's from "Alice in Wonderland." The Fighter blinked her eyes in shock as she couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was her in when she was in her 4th Incarnation.
The Fighter stepped back and nudged The Master pointing over for him to look at the guy. She was then shocked to see one of his old incarnations as he looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
The Fighter looked around for her Master as she saw him looking at them shocked. The Doctor didn't even notice it yet.
"Excuse me." The Doctor said thinking he bumped into one of his friends.
The 4th Fighter looked shocked seeing the others as she tried to tell her Doctor. "Um Doctor..."
"So sorry." The 5th Doctor replied as they both fiddled with the console as The Master and The Fighter still looked at him shocked. "When do you think he'll notice?" The Master whispered to The Fighter.
"Right about...now" The Fighter said as The Doctor and the man looked at each other shocked. The man looked to the 4th Fighter as she nodded her head. The Doctor looked at her shocked then looked to see The Delgado Master behind the 4th Fighter as he stood behind her.
"What?" The Doctor stared at the three old faces from his past.
"What?" His 5th incarnation said back as he looked shocked at him and The Delgado Master behind the 4th Fighter as he pointed at him. "What are you doing here?"
The 4th Fighter turned around shocked at him then took him into a hug. "Koschei, It's you! I haven't seen this incarnation of yours since...since you asked me to run away with you from Gallifrey. But I refused your offer as well..." She looked down sad as tears began to fall from her face. She was more expressive with her feelings in this regeneration and was considered a crybaby. The Delgado Master wiped her tears away.
"It's okay my dear. Though I would have preferred you travel with me before him." The Delgado Master gave the two Doctor's a cold look as a idea came to his mind.
The 4th Fighter asked curiously "What are you doing here? You are way out of your time. You're suppose to be with The Doctor's 3rd Incarnation right?" She looked to her Doctor as he nodded.
"I was thinking the same thing!" The Fighter added in as she walked over to the two of them along with The Master.
The Delgado Master nodded "She took the words right out of my mouth. One minute I was fighting with him than the next, I'm here and he looks different. Still has a ridiculous sense of clothing along with it."
"Who are you?" The 5th Doctor asked as he looked at the three of them.
"Oh brilliant!" The 10th Doctor said as he nodded in approval. "I mean totally wrong." He looked at The Fighter and The Master as they were eyeing their past self's.
"Big emergency, universe goes bang in five minutes but brilliant!" The 10th Doctor continued.
"I'm The Doctor, who are you?" The 5th Doctor said looking at them.
"Well he's-" Before The Master could finish his sentence The Fighter put her hand over his mouth. "Shhh! Let them have their moment." The Master sighed rolling his eyes as The Fighter took her hand off his mouth and looked back over between the two of them.
The Delgado Master laughed amused as The 4th Fighter watched them thinking up a deduction. "Hmmm by the way they are acting...they couldn't be..." She then looked to her future self shocked as she nodded in reply.
"I really miss wearing that dress." The Fighter replied as her 4th incarnation turned shocked to The Delgado Master.
"So that skinny stick in the brown suit is the future Doctor, Wonderful." The Delgado Master replied sarcastically. He then looked at his future self "Making you...me?"
The Master nodded grinning at himself as The Delgado Master gave a sigh of relief. "Oh good, I know my sense of style isn't that bad." The two Masters laughed in agreement.
"Yes you are! You are The Doctor!" The 10th Doctor said beaming.
"Yes I am. I'm The Doctor." His 5th self replied back nodding.
"Oh good for you Doctor. Good for brilliant old you." The 10th Doctor said smiling with joy over his past self.
"Is there something wrong with you?" His 5th self asked staring at his future self.
"Yes there is, you see-" The Fighter put her hand over The Masters again before he could continue as The 5th Doctor looked at them oddly. The Fighter laughed nervously "Hahaha, sorry please continue."
The 5th doctor looked at them frowning as The Fighter and The 10th Doctor grinned. "Oh boy it's that face! The Mr. frowny face!" The Fighter said grinning at him as his 5th self looked at her.
"I remember that one." The 10th doctor said as he squished his cheeks frowning slightly. "Mind you, bit saggier than it ought to be, hair's a bit grayer." The Delgado Master gave a amused laugh as the 5th Doctor glared at him.
"That's only because of you." The Master said as he finally got a word out as The Fighter took her hands away from his face. She struggled to cover his mouth again, fearing he would say the wrong thing but he was quick and held her by her waist covering her arms. Something he would always do to her back home before he and The Doctor began to tickle her.
"The three of you being in the TARDIS at the same time shorted out the time differential."The Master said. The Fighter gave up struggling to get out of his hold and pouted.
"But it should be fine as soon as we get you back home Celery man!" The Fighter said grinning. The 5th Doctor eyed her as she reminded him of his Fighter since she called him Celery man. He looked to her as she gave a bright smile.
"Be able to close that coat again. But never mind that! Look at you!" The 10th Doctor said smiling happily at his past self. "The Hat, the coat, the crickety cricket stuff, The..." His eyes then fell on the celery pinned to his lapel.
"Stick of Celery!" The Fighter exclaimed happily as The Master let her out of his hold.
"A brave choice." The Doctor said grinning.
"No, a silly choice." The Master said rolling his eyes as his past self nodded in agreement.
"But fair play to you, not a lot of men can carry off a decorative vegetable." The Doctor said in defense as he looked back at his past self.
"Shut up!" The 5th Doctor said glaring at his future self. "There is something wrong with my TARDIS and I've got to do something about it very,very quickly, and it would help, it really would help, if there wasn't some skinny idiot ranting in my face about everything that happens to be in front of him!"
The two Master's broke out in laughter as The Fighter gave off a nervous laugh scratching her head. The 4th Fighter looked shocked at her Doctor. The 10th Doctor blinked "Oh ok. Sorry, Doctor."
The 5th Doctor sighed in relief "Thank you." He then turned around to look at the controls on the console behind him.
"Oh! The back of my head!" The 10th Doctor said grinning again in excitement. The Fighter whispered over to The Master's and her past self "He's acting like a fangirl!"
"What?" The 5th Doctor frowned looking at his future self.
"Sorry,sorry, not something you see everyday, is it, the back of your own head? Mind you, I see why you wear a hat. I don't want to seem vain, but...could you keep that on?" The 10th Doctor said.
"What have you done to my TARDIS?" The 5th Doctor asked turning to his future self and also eyeing the Delgado Master "You've changed the desktop theme...what is this then, coral?"
"Well..." The 10th Doctor looked around.
"It's worse than the leopard skin." The 5th Doctor began taking out his glasses and turning back to the console.
The Delgado Master smirked "Anything you pick has awful taste. Just look at your outfit."
"Oh there it is! The Brainy specs!" The Fighter said as she ran over to his 10th self's side and grinned. "Haven't seen those in a long time as well."
The 10th Doctor put his hands in his pockets. "You don't even need them. You just think they make you a bit more clever."
Suddenly an alarm sounded out around the room. The 5th Doctor looked up. "That's an alert. Level five. Indicates a temporal collision Which means two TARDISes have merged but only one of them is present. It's like two time zones are at war in the heart of the TARDIS. That's a paradox. It could blow a hole in the space time continuum the size of..." The 10th Doctor then moved the screen over for his 5th self to see. "Well actually the exact size of Belgium. That's a bit undramatic, isn't it? Belgium?"
The 10th Doctor then pulled out his sonic screwdriver for his 5th self "Need this?"
"No i'm fine." He shook his head.
"Oh no, of course. You mostly went hands free, didn't you?" The 10th Doctor said putting his sonic away.
"It's like "Hey i'm The Doctor, I can save the universe with a kettle and some string, look at me, i'm wearing a vegetable!" The Master said sarcastically grinning as The Fighter hit him with her elbow. The Delgado Master gave an amused look.
"Who are you 3?" The 5th Doctor said looking at them.
The Delgado Master whispered to the 4th Fighter "He still hasn't figured it out yet."
She gave a nod of disappointment. "We've been dropping him clues and everything but still..."
"Take a look" The 10th Doctor grinned.
The 5th Doctor looked at him then at The Master and The Fighter in realization. "Oh...Oh no..."
"Oh yes!" The 10th Doctor said grinning.
"You're...oh no, you're..." The 5th Doctor said then looking at The Fighter then The Master.
The Two Master's and Fighter's whispered with each other again "Has he finally caught up?" The Delgado Master wondered.
"Yes, Yes they are Doctor!" The 4th Fighter yelled happy to see her Doctor finally realized who they were.
"Here it comes, yep, yep I am." The 10th Doctor said.
"A fan!" The 5th Doctor gave off an irritated look at the 10th Doctor and turned back to the console as it began to beep. The two Master's let out a laugh as The Fighter couldn't help but laugh too. The 4th Fighter looked at her Doctor sighing and slapped her hand to her forehead.
"Yep!" 10th Doctor then realized what his past self had said "What?"
"Look at his face!" The Two Master's exclaimed laughing as The Fighter laughed with them. "This is just too funny!"
"Level ten now." The 5th Doctor said frowning. "This is bad. Two minutes to Belgium."
"What do you mean a fan?" The 10th Doctor said pouting. "I'm not just a fan, I'm you!"
"Ok, you're my biggest fan. Look, it's perfectly understandable. I go zooming around space and time, saving planets, fighting monsters, and being , well, let's be honest, pretty sort of marvelous." The 5th Doctor said back. "And naturally now and then people notice me. Start up their little groups. That LINDA lot...are you one of them? How did you get in here? Can't have you lot knowing where I live."
The two Master's were still laughing as The Fighter comforted her past self over her Doctor's slowness.
"Listen to me, I'm you! I'm you with a new face." The 10th Doctor then started slapping his own face. "Check out this bone structure Doctor, because one day, you're going to be shaving it."
The 4th Fighter nodded in agreement. "He's right Celery man. He's your future self."
The Fighter then added in "How is it, traveling with the past me all dressed up like Alice looking for Wonderland? Though we never did find it..." The 5th Doctor looked at her shocked as he mentioned his Fighter. He looked over to her as she looked down sad knowing the truth about never finding Wonderland. She was more childish in this incarnation.
The Sound of the Cloister bell sounded out.
"The Cloister bell." The Master changed the subject. The Delgado Master walked over to The 4th Fighter to comfort her.
"Yeah right on time. That's our cue." The 10th Doctor said as him and The Master ran forward and began helping with the controls.
"In less than a minute we're going to detonate a black hole strong enough to swallow the universe!" The 5th Doctor cried out.
The 10th Doctor smiled nervously at how he was distracted by going to see how The Fighter was doing in her new regeneration "Yeah that was my fault actually, I was rebuilding the TARDIS, forgot the put the shields back up."
"You idiot. I told you I could watch over The Fighter while you were rebuilding it." The Master said glaring at him. The 5th Doctor looked back and forth between his future self, The Fighter and The Master.
"Anyway, Your TARDIS and my TARDIS...well the same TARDIS, different points in it's own time stream collided and oops. There you go, end of the universe, butterfingers. But don't worry, I know exactly how this all works out. Venting the Thermal buffer , flooring the Helmic regulator, and frying the Zeiton Crystals. " The 10th Doctor continued.
"You'll blow up the TARDIS!" The 5th Doctor exclaimed.
"It's the only way out." The Fighter said biting her lip.
The 5th Doctor frowned asking her. "Who told you that?"
"You told me that!" The Fighter said as she ran over and grabbed a lever. The room filled with white bright light. It then faded as the six of them stood there.
The 5th Doctor stared in awe "Supernova and black hole at the exact same instant."
"Explosion cancels out implosion." The 10th Doctor said staring in awe as well.
"Matter stays constant." The Master said staring at The Fighter in awe along with them.
The 10th Doctor exclaimed "Brilliant!"
"That's my tiger!" The two Master's exclaimed grinning at both Fighter's.
"Far too brilliant!" The 5th Doctor added in as well. "I've only known one other person who can fly the TARDIS like that but you would hardly notice it from her." The 4th Fighter looked up at her Doctor sad to see he still didn't realize it was there future selfs but happy for the compliment.
"Oh, a girl has her ways Celery man!" The Fighter said shrugging and grinning.
The 5th Doctor's eyes widened as he looked back and forth between her and her past self. "It really is you, isn't it Fighter? You're the only one who has ever called me that silly nickname."
The Fighter gave him a salute and grinned. "Right you are. Been awhile." She looked at her past self to see her smiling brightly as she ran from The Delgado Master to her Doctor.
"How did you work it out?" The 5th Doctor asked.
The Fighter smiled at her past self shrugging "Well I remembered from watching everything happening."
"You remembered?" The 5th Doctor asked the both of her.
The Fighter's gave a smile as her future self continued "Yes. Though I thought it was all a weird dream..."
The 4th Fighter grinned brightly "Kind of like Alice falling asleep under the tree and dreaming up Wonderland only to wake and find out it was all a dream."
The 5th Doctor turned to the 10th Doctor "You remembered being me and watching her do all that. You already knew what to do because I watched it happen."
"Wibbly Wobbly..." The 10th Doctor started as The Fighter, her past self and The Doctor's 5th self joined in "Timey Wimey!"
The two Master's rolled their eyes. "How does he come up with these things?" The Delgado Master asked. His future self shrugged.
The 10th Doctor held up his hand to high five his 5th self only to recieve a confused look. The Fighter then gave him a high five. The sound of another alarm began to go off.
"It's just the sound of the TARDISes separating. Sorry Doctor, Fighter and Past me, time's up, back to long ago." The Master announced.
The 10th Doctor asked his past self and the 4th Fighter "Where are you two now? Nyssa, Tegan, Cybermen and Mara along with Time Lords in funny hats and The Master? Which that is him by the way." He points over to The Master as he waves.
"Oh no...At least you don't have that rubbish beard." The 5th Doctor said looking at The Delgado Master grimacing. The two Master's looked at him shocked as it was The Doctor's time to start laughing at his reaction.
"Hey! The beard made me look cool." The Master said in defense.
The Delgado Master smirked at him "At least I'm not wearing a stick of celery that makes me look like a walking vegetable."
The Two Doctor's and The Two Master's glared at each other as The Fighter ran in between them. "Boy's play nice now!"
The 5th Doctor then looked down at himself as he began to fade along with The 4th Fighter. "Oh I seem to be off. What can I say?" He looked up at The future Fighter smiling. "Nice to see I'm still venturing the universe with you. You're still as beautiful and brilliant as ever!" The 4th Fighter blushed at his compliment to her future self as she took his hand in hers.
"Same here my Celery man. You're such a gentlemen that any girl would love to venture the universe with. It was nice to see you again! Always one of my favorites with your stick of celery and all!" The Fighter said smiling at him warmly as he blushed. He looked to her past self as she blushed too.
The 5th Doctor then turned to his future self. "Thank you Doctor."
"Thank you!" The 10th doctor said back to his past self.
"I'm very welcome." The 5th Doctor said laughing before fading away completely. The 10th Doctor then flipped a switch bringing him and The 4th Fighter back as The Future Fighter picked up his hat handing it the 10th doctor.
"You know... I loved being you. Back when I first started, at the very beginning. I was always trying to be old and grumpy and important., like you do when you're young. And then I was you... and it was all dashing about and playing cricket with The Fighter and my voice going all squeaky when I shouted..."
"He still does that!" The Master said with his arms crossed grinning.
The Fighter giggled "It's so adorable and I can't help but laugh."
The 10th Doctor blushed at that then looked back at his past self "Yeah I got that from you. Oh and" He put his foot on the console to show his shoes. "And the trainers and..." He pulled out his own glasses. "Snap, cos you know what Doctor? You were my Doctor!" The Fighter nodded in agreement.
The Fighter then walked up to her past self " And you, It was like I was a little girl all over again, Innocent and naive about the world and the people in it. My worries of the past gone but still deep inside of me as I tried to look for Wonderland, the perfect and happy place to take all of the pain away. I was hoping to find a happy ending there but instead got so caught up with running around with The Doctor and all that I forgot about it all together."
Tears began to fall from The 4th Fighter. "I loved being you, though I was super childish, more emotional than ever and sucked my thumb when I slept." The two Fighter's chuckled. "I didn't care, I was dressed up like my favorite character from my favorite book and running around with my hero who saved me. I was perfectly happy." The 4th Fighter began to cry happy tears as she looked at her Doctor.
The 5th Doctor tipped his hat at them "To days to come."
"All our love to long ago!" The Fighter and the 10 Doctor said. His 5th self then disappeared along with the 4th Fighter.
The two then turned to The Master and his past self. The 10th Doctor ran to the console to set him back for his destination. "Where are you?
"Miss Grant and the 3rd you. We were talking about Miss Grants coccyx." The Master said as his past self nodded.
The Fighter looked at them shocked. "Wow I missed a lot being on Gallifrey!" They all gave a nod in agreement.
The Delgado Master then stepped up to her. "I'll be sure to tell The Doctor to come for you once his exile is over...actually I'll have to come for you myself. Then I will be your hero." He grinned at her as she smiled.
"Koschei, You've always been there for me. I really haven't seen this face of yours for a long time so I'm happy to see you. Brings back old memories." She sighed happily as he smiled at her. The Master watched intently.
The Delgado Master picked up her hand and gave it a kiss like a gentlemen "Thank you my dear. I'm glad to see I'm still in your presence later on." He then began to fade away.
The Fighter then put her arms around The Doctor and The Masters shoulders as she smiled. "Memory lane huh?" They nodded in reply.
The Fighter then leaned up and grabbed their hands. "We have changed a lot since we first met when we were little. We have been through a lot together." She said smiling as she tightened her grip on their hands.
"Oh Doctor" They blinked as they heard the The Delgado Master's and 5th Doctor's voices call out to them. "Remember to put up your shields."
The Doctor shook his head and leaned over the console pressing a button right as a ship's horn blasted through and they were sent flying to the floor. Dust was blowing in the air. They coughed as The Master jumped up looking at a bow of an ocean liner cruiser that had crashed through the TARDIS.
"That's it! I'm going to fly the TARDIS now!" The Master yelled. The Doctor helped The Fighter up as the three of them looked at the ship.
"What..." The Doctor said.
The Fighter then looked at the floor where a life preserver was reading the words "TITANIC" "Whoa...no way..." The Fighter exclaimed.
