IMPORTANT NOTE: I will be referring to the past incarnations of the Master's by the actor's who played them except for the Academy Master.

Like for example: Delgado Master - Played by Roger Delgado who was the first Master introduced in the 3rd Doctor's era.

As for the past incarnations for the Fighter, They are on the chapter called "Incarnations." I did this to hopefully help make it less confusing for you readers. Enjoy~!


The Time Lady and her Boys

Doctor Who Fanfiction

Pairing: The Master/Time Lady OC

Chapter 24: The End of Time - PART 5 - The Time Lords Return!


The Fighter was talking with all the past incarnations, telling them of her plan. The Master, finally taking his eyes off of the gate looked over to see the familiar faces as his eyes became wide. "No! No! No! No!" He ran over to them. "You aren't suppose to be here!"

The Master's first incarnation that had black hair, blue eyes and was far much younger than the others looked to the Fighter "You can thank her for this." He then looked to the blonde woman standing next to him "I didn't know you had this kind of power Missy."

The young blonde Time Lady shrugged her shoulders "You never asked."

The First Doctor, who had a cane in his hand spoke up "Excuse me, but what exactly are we doing here?"

The Master looked to him and gave an amused smirk at seeing his arch enemy/old friend in his original body. He then looked to his lover wondering the same thing "Yes, what are they doing here and how?"

"I brought them here. I am the Key to the Matrix after all, and we could really use their help." She replied.

"With what? Welcoming the Time Lords?"

The Ninth Doctor looked at them with wide eyes as he let out a gasp. "Welcome the Time Lords? But they're gone! Gone! We are the only ones left!"

The 6th Fighter looked to him shocked. She was from the point in her time line when she had been living with Elizabeth for 1 year since The Doctor sent her away from Gallifrey for safety. She shook her head, narrowing her eyes "I could have helped prevented that from happening if you just let me do so!"

All of their other incarnations looked at the two with confused and befuddled looks.

As the two bickered on, it was the Sixth Doctor with the rainbow coat who ended it "Alright! Enough now!" He looked at the Fighter "Missy had a plan and I would like to hear it."

"And what exactly does this plan involve? Because if you're thinking about stopping this, it's not going to work!" The Master told her.

The Fighter looked up at him with a serious look. She had had enough of his antics and stood her ground. "I know you don't care much for this planet and I know the drums are killing you, but this isn't the right thing to do. I know you know that, but I for one am not going to sit around and let you do this anymore! I've tried everything, EVERYTHING to help you out! I've tried my best to stick with you no matter what and still protect people from you... but..." She bit her lip "I just can't do it anymore!"

He looked at her with a hurt look in his eyes. "What are you saying?"

She went over and stood by her past incarnations "I'm going to save this planet...even if it kills me."

The past incarnations of the Master exchanged a look with each other and looked back to their future self and the Fighter.

One of the Earth copies of the Master spoke over the intercom "Sorry to interrupt, but I should warn you-"

"Not now!" The Master yelled back.

Suddenly the Doctor comes crashing through the glass roof and onto the floor as all the incarnations look at him shocked. "Theta!" The Fighter runs over to him.

The bright light stops as the 1st Fighter looks at the Time Lords who have arrived with wide eyes. Gasps could be heard from the 4th Fighter as all of the Time Ladies incarnations look at one of them shocked.

"F-Father...?" The 1st Fighter looks to him horrified.

The Fighter and Doctor look up to see him. Someone else also catches their eyes.

"Romana!" The 4th Fighter shouts, seeing her little sister tied up, but still standing tall.

Rassilon grins "My Lord Doctor. My Lord Master. My Lady and dear Daughter Fighter. We are gathered for the end." His grin falls a little as he notices their past incarnations behind them. He looks to the Fighter as his grin returns "I see you've finally mastered your power with being the Key to the Matrix by bringing back the long lost."

The Fighter glares at him in absolute disgust and anger. He used her and the Master as a tool and he holds her sister as a prisoner. She had never had as much hate for her father as she does now.

"Listen to me. You can't!" The Doctor pleaded.

"It is a fitting paradox that our salvation comes at the hands of our most infamous child and my daughter!"

As the two continued talking back and forth, the Fighter was mentally sending a message to her past selves. Something caught her eye as the woman who was keeping Romana tied up securely, was looking right at her first self with deep hatred. Why did it seem so familiar? She then looked to see another blonde girl who's face was hidden, but she was looking right at her with the same hatred.

"Oh, he's not saving you. Don't you realise what he's doing?"

The other incarnations of the Fighter began trying to use their powers of being the key to the Matrix as all the past incarnations were mentally sent to a micro-universe that looked like Gallifrey before the war.

The regenerations of the Master and Doctor looked around confused. "Where are we?" The 2nd Doctor asked.

"I've mentally sent us to the Matrix. We're still standing there and watching our future selves and the others, but they can't hear in on our plan." The 5th Fighter told them.

The 4th Fighter was sobbing "They've got Romana! Who knows what they've done to her. My poor sister. I can see her trying her hardest to be strong but...I wasn't there to protect her."

The 5th Doctor brought her into his arms as she sobbed. "Shhh...it's ok. We will figure out a way to get her back."

The 3rd Doctor looked at the green haired Time Lady "What's the plan my dear?"

The 5th Fighter looked to the incarnations of the Master with her usual emotionless face. "Before we say anything, you all should know that if you do anything to mess with my plan, I know my other selves here will have no problem with kicking your ass and making you pay!"

The Roberts Master chuckled "Wow, so bossy Tiger. I like seeing this side of you." She kept looking at him with her usual unfazed look. The 3rd Fighter who was known for being a flirt, winked at him playfully.

The 2nd Fighter, who had a short temper had finally had enough. "Since you two are busy flirting, I'll get straight to the point now! Our future selves plan is this: Calling on all the past incarnations of every Time Lord and Lady in the Matrix to help us."

The Fourth Doctor smiled his wide grin at his Fighter "Oh, that's brilliant!"

The Delgado Master spoke up "But what exactly makes you think that they will work with us?"

There were some whispers of agreement among them. It was Time Lords who were doing this, it was Time Lords like the Fighter's father who were using others to their will. Why would they be willing to help stop it?

The 1st Fighter looked to all of Theta's, Koschei's and her future incarnations, suddenly finding her voice "Because we need to do something! Look around! All that has happened in our lives has led us to this moment, we need to fight for whats right! This is Gallifrey! Our childhood, our home!" The First Doctor and the First Master Koschei looked to her nodding. She was known for being naive, but she was right about this.

All of the other incarnations began nodding as they agreed to help with the plan. Suddenly the image of Gallifrey began to dissapper around them as they found themselves back in the room with their future selves and the other Time Lords.

The Master looked to the Doctor "Hey, no, hey! That's mine. Hush." He then looked to Rassilon. "Look around you. I've transplanted myself into every single human being. But who wants a mongrel little species like them, because now I can transplant myself into every single Time Lord. Oh, yes, Mister President, sir, standing there all noble and resplendent and decrepit. Think how much better you're going to look as me."

The Lord President holds up his metal gauntlet. It glows and everyone who looks like the Master goes through the head blur. "No, no, don't. No, no, stop it! No, no, no, don't!" The Master shouted. All the humans returned to their normal selves.

The Ainley Master sighed "I should have seen that coming. Even in the future are plans still get foiled."

Rassilon glares at the humans "On your knees, mankind." They obey and fall on their knees. The Fighter looks over to her past incarnations as they nod getting ready for the plan to be in action.

"No, that's fine, that's good, because you said salvation. I still saved you. The Fighter still saved you. Don't forget that." The Master told him.

"The approach begins."

"Approach of what?"

The Doctor looked at the Master "Something is returning. Don't you ever listen? That was the prophecy. Not someone, something."

"What is it?"

"They're not just bringing back the species. It's Gallifrey. Right here, right now." All the incarnations, including the Master himself had wide eyes. They were starting to understand how important it was to stop this.

The Earth begins to shake as the humans start running out of the room. As they do so, Wilf runs into the room. He helps a tech out of the locked glass room as he gets himself locked into it the process. The Doctor looks over "Wilf, don't. Don't!"

"But, The Fighter and I did this. We get the credit. We're on your side." The Master yelled at Rassilon.

The 1st Fighter walked over to her future self and looked at her father "Father, why are you doing this? Why do you have Romana tied up?"

Rassilon let out a dark laugh that sent chills down her back like it always did. "Oh Missy dear, you are too naive and trusting in this body! No wonder you died so easily in it."

The 2nd Fighter walked up, glaring at him and growling "You bastard!"

He glared at her "Watch your tongue!"

"No I will NOT! You used me from the start! What did I ever do to make you hate me this much father?"

A cold dead smirk came over his face sending chills to everyone in the room. Not able to take the pain in her sister's eyes, Romana finally broke free from her ties as she kicked the woman holding her and yelled "He's not our father sister! He took possession of our father's body and has been lying from the start!"

The Fighter's eyes went wide as she could hear gasps from her past selves. "Wait, so our father's name is not Rassilon?"

Before the woman could grab Romana, the Time Lady ran straight into her sister's arms hugging her. She then looked up at her "No, it never has been." The Fighter's other incarnations joined by their side, glaring at Rassilon.

He gave a twisted smile "Is there something you wish to tell me dear 'daughter'?"

"You killed my father! Did you kill my mother as well?"

He shook his head and looked over at the woman who was keeping Romana restranied "No but she knows who did. Why don't you tell them Ailla."

The black haired woman looked to her cousin's and ex lover with a smirk "Hello Cousin's. Hello Koschei."

The incarnations of the Master glared at her. "This isn't much of a surprise Ailla. You were always good at betraying." The Ainley Master told her.

"Did you kill our mother Ailla?" The Fighter asked.

"I helped a little, but it was mostly your husband," She began to giggle "Oops, I mean ex-husband who killed her. Oh boy, you should have been there to see it! She died instantly trying to protect this brat here!" She pointed to Romana standing next toh er older sister.

The 1st Fighter broke down into sobs horrified "Then I ended up marrying him. Oh gosh, I married my mother's murderer."

The Fighter looked at her cousin "Why Ailla? You already tried killing me a long time ago and you both broke me down, isn't that enough? You got Joker to yourself. Why are you still doing this?"

Ailla pulled the Fighter by her hair as she looked into her eyes "Because I despise your existance! I hate everything about you cousin."

The Fighter chuckled at her "After all these centuries it still sounds like you're nothing but jealous of me. I'm sorry for you Ailla. You could be so beautiful if you just be yourself."

"Shut up!" She let go of her hair. "I have a dear friend of yours I saved after you abandoned her. We found something in common we both share...a hatered over you!" She looked over to the blonde woman who kept looking at her with hatred earlier. The blonde girl took off the cloak hiding her face to reveal Elizabeth Butler, the human girl who she took shelter with for 4 years before losing her in Utopia.

"E-Elizabeth..." The 6th Fighter looked at her human friend. She was just at her house in the backyard. They just got back from an adventure before she was brought here. "I-I don't understand. What happened?"

The human girl pointed to the Time Lady's future self as she spoke to the face of her old friend "You will leave me alone at the end of the universe to die as you run away with your boys!"

Though she was relieved to see her friend alive, she still felt guilty "I didn't mean to. I searched for you but...I thought you were dead. Elizabeth, nothing can make up for what happened but I am so sorry! I am glad to see you're alive and not a toclafane."

Elizabeth glared "You're lying! I did everything for you! I took you in when you were kicked from your planet and my parents made you a part of my family. You were like the sister I always wanted and you left me behind to die after finding your friends again!"

The Fighter looked down as tears fell from her face. Elizabeth looked over at her 6th incarnation to see her crying as well. It was that same look she had when she arrived on Earth in her backyard after being sent there from Gallifrey. The Time Lady had just lost her friends and her home, she was all alone like Elizabeth had felt.

Suddenly the human girl realized what she was doing was wrong.


After a brief silence, the Master spoke up to was still trying to plead with him. "But this is fantastic, isn't it? The Time Lords restored."

The War Doctor spoke up finally "You weren't there in the final days of the War. You never saw what was born. But if the Timelock's broken, then everything's coming through. Not just the Daleks, but the Skaro Degradations, the Horde of Travesties, the Nightmare Child, the Could-have-been King with his army of Meanwhiles and Never-weres. The War turned into hell. And that's what you've opened, right above the Earth. Hell is descending."

The Master grinned "My kind of world."

"Just listen! Because even the Time Lords can't survive that." The Doctor told him.

Rassilon looked around announcing "We will initiate the Final Sanction. The end of time will come at my hand. The rupture will continue until it rips the Time Vortex apart."

"That's suicide!" The Master yelled.

"We will ascend to become creatures of consciousness alone. Free of these bodies, free of time, and cause and effect, while creation itself ceases to be."

The Master looked to the Doctor with wide eyes finally believing what he said "You see now? That's what they were planning in the final days of the War. I had to stop them."

The Master grinned, spreading his arms "Then, take me with you, Lord President. Let me ascend into glory."

Rassilon gave him a disgusted look "You are diseased, albeit a disease of our own making. No more."

The Doctor picks up the gun from the floor and aims it at Rassilon, glaring at him. The Fighter's eyes widen, shocked to see her friend who vowed to never hold a gun actually aiming one. "Theta?"

"Choose your enemy well. We are many. The Master is but one." Rassilon informed him.

"But he's the President. Kill him, and Gallifrey could be yours." The Master told his friend. The Doctor turns and aims at the Master. All of their past incarnations eyes widen.

"Theta?" The Fighter begins slowly walking up to him. He turns to aim it at her as well as chills go down her back. She began to hold her hands up in defense. He was just as determined as her to end this...even if it killed them. All of their past incarnations watched, waiting for when the time was right to inact the plan.

The Master began to speak "What are you doing? He's to blame!" He looked to Rassilon. The Doctor suddenly pointed the gun at him again. "Oh, the link inside our head's. Kill us, the link gets broken, they go back. You never would, you coward. Go on then. Do it!"

The Doctor aims at the Lord President again. "Exactly. It's not just us, it's him. He's the link. Kill him!"

Romana looked to see her older sister's 3rd incarnation motioning for her to come over. She went over slowly and looked at her Doctor's incarnation with the long scarf "Doctor, just what is your future self thinking?"

"I don't know but your sister has a plan."

"The final act of your life is murder. But which one of us? " Rassilon grinned at the Doctor. Behind him, a woman lowers her hands, the same woman who was with the 5th Fighter when they talked with Wilf. The Doctor looks at her shocked, he couldn't forget her at all. It was his mother. She was looking over his shoulder to where the Whitepoint star was.

The Doctor turns back to the Master pointing the gun at him. He also looks to the other incarnations behind him "Get out of the way." The Master smiles realizing what he's doing as he and the others jump out of the way. He ends up shooting the diamond as it explodes.

Rassilon and the rest of the Time Lords began to be sucked back away. "The link is broken. Back into the Time War, Rassilon. Back into hell." The Doctor looks to him smiling.

"Gallifrey falling! Gallifrey falls!"

Rassilon bears his teeth at the Doctor "You'll die with me, Doctor."

The Doctor closes his eyes "I know."

"NOW!" The Fighter yells as all her past selves and her begin shinning brightly standing still. Time Lords long gone begin appearing before them as ghost like figures, ready to fight.

"Oh no you don't." Ailla said as she ran towards her cousin, knocking her to the ground. The Fighter started to fight back as her past selves continued with the plan.

Rassilon aims his gauntlet at the Doctor as his mother covers her face again.

"Get out of the way." The Master tells the Doctor. He steps back as the Time Lord attacks Rassilon with his energy. "You did this to me and the Fighter! All of our life! You made us! One! Two! Three! Four!" Rassilon is forced to his knees from the powerful blows.

Omega then appeared before Rassilon as the Time Lord looked up at his old friend. The same friend he sent to his own death. It was only fitting to see him now, towering over him, as he was going to probably die as well. "Do you wish to kill me as well?" Rassilon asked him.

Omega did nothing but nod, waiting for this moment for a long time.

Romana was beginning to feel herself be drawn back to Gallifrey as she looked to where her sister was, fighting their cousin. Romana ran over and snuck up on Ailla, kicking her in the face. "Don't you dare touch my sister!"

The Fighter looked at her little sister with a proud smile. "That's my Lady President and little sis!"

"Sister, I can feel myself being pulled back with Gallifrey."

The Fighter looked at her sister with worry. "No...no! We just got reunited again! I don't want to lose you all over again!" She took her hand as she looked over to the Master, her lover who was fighting with Rassilon. He was taking out all the pain he endured over the century on the person who caused it.

She then looked to the Doctor, her best friend who was always there for her and she in return. He would be so alone without her. But then, what would happen to her sister being back on Gallifrey during the Time War? Would she even survive? Would this be the last time she saw her?

The Fighter could feel her past incarnations not being able to hold the gateway open much longer and looked to her sister who was walking up to the gateway joining the other Time Lords as she was taking back her title as Lady President.

She had to make up her mind, and quick!

First thing: She ran over to Elizabeth as the human girl took her in a hug surprisingly enough. "I'm so sorry Missy for hating you. I was just so hurt." The Time Lady hugged her sobbing friend and looked into her eyes. "Go back home to your parents and livethe happy life you deserve! Live everyday to the fullest for me please!"

"Missy? What are you saying?" Elizabeth looked confused.

The Fighter smiled then ran over to the Doctor.

"Theta...my Theta." She had tears in her eyes.

He looked at her worried "Fighter...what's wrong? What are you thinking?"

"I have to do this. I'm so sorry." She wiped her tears away. "I've enjoyed all the adventures we've had and I thank you for saving me from all the horrors of my past on Gallifrey even though you didn't have to. You're a dear man and I'll never forget you."

He looked to her shaking his head "Don't you dare Missy! Don't you dare!"

She gave him a quick kiss on the lips "Thank you my hero!" As she quickly ran away from him towards the Master.

"Fighter!" He called after her.

She ran up to the Master as he was still kicking around Rassilon with the help of Omega. She walks up to him, finally confronting him as a smirk comes to her lips. "Do you hear that Rassilon? Your time is up!"

In a bright light all of the Time Lords, including the Master, Rassilon, Romana, Ailla, the woman and the Fighter disappear.

The Doctor falls to his knees as tears fall from his eyes. His friends were gone in the Time War, he was left all alone. "Theta?" He looked up to see the 6th Fighter looking at him in worry.

All of his past incarnations, the Master and Fighter's were still here but slowly starting to go back to their proper times. "I'm alive. I've. There was. I'm still alive." He said it shocked but saddened. The Master, Fighter and Romana were dragged back into the war having who knows what happen to them and he was still here, alive. He didn't know if he should be happy or feel hurt.

The 1st Fighter walked up to him and smiled "It's okay, I'll see you again." She looked over to his 1st, 2nd and 3rd incarnations.

The 2nd Fighter gave him a small smile "We always have this odd way of finding each other."

The 3rd Fighter winked at him "That's very true! It's always hard for me to leave your side!" They both looked up to their version of him in his 4th incarnation.

The 4th Fighter grabbed the Fifth Doctor's hand "And we can go to wonderland when that happens!"

The 5th Fighter nodded giving a very rare smile on her usually emotionless face "I have to keep an eye on you after all!" She looked to the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctor.

The 6th Fighter looked to the Doctor as she helped him up "This I know now."

The Yana Master spoke up "And we will always be following after you two." The other Master's nodded in agreement with smirks.

Elizabeth ran over to the 6th Fighter "Please forgive me Missy! I'm so sorry!"

The brunette Time Lady smiled at her "I forgive you. I'll see you back at home Lizzy!" And just like that they all disappeared back to their proper times, leaving the Doctor and Elizabeth alone with Wilf.


So I kinda lied. There is one more chapter after this one which is the last one to this story.

It's the Epilogue.
