I love the part in dark water where the doctor forgives Clara ,how can anyone not love twelve? Sorry for the delay, this story is going fast, only to more chapters to write!
The Docter was replacing an old piece of machinery. When the master , walked into the Tardis .
The Tardis emitted pitched whine when the Master began to remove to the doctors keys from their hiding places.
"Start her up" the master requested ,hoping to distract him from what she was doing.
"Where are we going? " The doctor asked , looking up at the master , like a hopeful child.
"away" the master swallows hard as she continued to pocket the keys, not allowing herself to dwell on what she was about to do.
"From" the doctor raised an impossibly angry looking eyebrow at her which didn't quite match his face, which looked like an in quizzical puppy dog ,only served to make her feel more guilty.
"Just away" the master shrugged.
"Well,normally you say work or kids's or dishes or dullness. 'So... What's happened?" He looked at her, his eyes full of compassion and concern for her.
She'd seen that look many times before and it always made her feel sick. She wasn't a child anyone being bullied ,she could take care of her own life!
It in raged her when he thought she needed to be saved, She curbed the urge to smash his head into the Tardis console .
She went downstairs to the doctor's workbench, and took a key from a round box and quickly hides it in her pocket.
"A volcano" the master couldn't help but gloat .
"I'm sorry?"the doctor ask. No ,not yet But , you will be .the master thinks
" I've started teaching Tolkien in class , but I've never seen an active volcano ,do you know one? It would really be a big help"? The master pleaded, uesing her large puppy eyes on the doctor knowing what effect they had on him.
"Why would your students want to hear about a volcano , it's just a sort of leaky mountain" the doctor snorted
"Well,I've never seen lava" she said while she slipped something out of his pocket.
"It's rubbish"
"Prove it" the master challenged him.
While in flight the master locates the finale key hidden inside the book 'the time traveler's wife. Autobiography maybe? ...or love letters? The master muse's .
"Do you still have those sleep patch things?"
"you can't have one"the doctor sighed
"I'm having trouble sleeping" the master whinned .
"you still can't have one" the doctor sighed again feeling irritated.
"can I have one?"
"no you cannot have one" not noticing the master take the box of them from a small set of drawers.
"so volcano, whats so good about lava?"
The master placed ne of the sleep patches on the back of the back of the doctor's neck.
"Lights out Theta"
The Doctor wakes up with a start, finding himself lying outside of the Tardis as the volcano spits lumps of lava and bits of rocks.
Clara is standind in the smoke by the edge of the ledge.
"Clara ...master?" The doctor asked uncertain .
"you were always a a fool doctor but you're taking it to a new level now ,yes of course I'm the master" she rolled her eyes irritated .
"No ,not a fool, Koschei I just like to be an optimist " he smiled sadly at her.
"its on your neck."she smirks her dark eyes reflecting the red light of the cavern .
Putting his hand to the back of his neck , he pulled off the patch .
The master holds out her hand .
" Remember, back at the academy when they told us what it would take to destroy a tardis key ? That's what's so good about lava . she said with a devilish smirk .
"All seven from your secret hiding places" she snorted waving one of them in the air dangerouslyclose to the lava pit.
"Master , what are you doing ? Don't . Be very ,very careful with that ! Those are very , very -
The master throws it backwards off the cliff and into the lava ,the tardis screams in pain at having a part of her destroyed.
"Do,I have you're attention, Theta?"
"Yes "
"Good "
" no , not good koschei " the doctor shakes his head .
"Danny pink "
" Yeah... ? " The doctor asked feeling confused .
"Is dead"
" and ? "
The doctor knew what she was going to say but he needed her to think about what she was asking him to do. Clara cared about Danny pink and the master cared enough about him to break the laws of time for him , meaning she was still Clara and could be saved !
"Seriously ? " she gAve him a dark look.
" and ? "
"And your going to help me fix it , change what happened , we are going to bring him back, saving people is what you do isn't" the master sneered at him, holding up another key.
"no"
The master throws the key away .
" Five keys are left ,doctor .every time you say no to me I'm going to throw another key down there . Do we understand each other ?
" well I understand you , let's not get carried away . " the doctor tried to reason with his old friend .
"Time can be rewritten "
" With precision . With great care . And not today . But you know that , of course other wise you wouldn't be threatening me ."
" did you just say no to me ?"
"If I change the events that brought you here you will never come here and ask me to change those events . You should know better ! It'll cause a paradox loop ! The timeline desintegrates , your timeline! And yes "
" Yes ? "
"Yes I did just say no . Throw away the key." He challenged her.
" I have seen you change time . I have seen you Break any rule you want ."
" I know when I can , and when I can't, throw away the key "
"I know what you're doing , you're trying to control!" She fumed at him.
" I am in control . Throw away the key .do as you are told ! " the doctor knew much the master hated being told what to do so much so that she usually did the opposite just to prove a point .
"No! " she scremed angrily at him.
" well , either you do as you're told or stop threatening really isn't a third option here ."
" do you know what ,doctor ? When it comes to taking control you really are out of your depth." With that the master threw all but one of the keys into the lava making the tardis Weiled terror .
" one last chance . And I don't care about the rules ,never have. I don't give a damn about the paradoxes! Save Danny . Bring him back or I swear you will never step inside your precious tardis again! "
"No"
" do as you are told ! " the master order him .
" no "
"Say it again so I know you mean it"
" no !"
"I'm ,warning you doctor I'm not kidding !"
"Neither am I"
" I will do it ! " the doctor could see fear in her eyes ,she wanted to stop , Clara was still fighting !
" Clara , my Clara , I don't think you will ! "
Her face hardns to a tear streked harlequin mask , her calculating eyes seem to be burning holes right through him, And the doctor knew he had pushed her too far .
Too late he see's the wepon in her hand and before he can move , he is hit in the chest by a laser beam .
The Force of the laser sent him backwords in slow motion ,landing with a sickening smack, and slideing down the side of the tardis door leaving a red smear.
The master looms over the weakened time lord threateningly , he felt like his chest was turning to rock and going to crumble to pieces , he wondered if the master had a setting for that.
"Did you really think I was going to give into your mind games ? Did you forget who you are dealing with here ?" She seethed angrily .
Breathing heavly he lowered his head unable to watch hate comsume his old friend a second time.
"Tell me doctor ,do you remember how I used the scroll of Morbius to bring myself back from the dead?"
" Master ,no, you mustn't do that! That ritual would take the lives of twelve human beings!" He begged terrified by the lengths the master was willing to go to resurrect her dead loved one
"You're twelve beloved deciples would be an excellent choice" she threatened .
"What!" The doctor gasped in horror.
"Martha Jones "
"No!"
"The brigadier"
" stop it"
"Sarah jane"
"They're good people who never hurt you , please just stop this madness!"
"Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright and sweet little Susan your first followers"
"Rose tyler your beloved physician ."
"Don't you dare touch her!"
"Why ? You can't stop me." She sneered down at him with contempt
"You're better than this , why kill them?
"No doctor , it's not me that's killing them but you ! You made me like this! It's your fault I fell in love, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't know this pain, and for that you must be punished ! "
"I know you are hurting , I've lost people too, believe me things get better .
"No!they wont be fine when Danny is alive and with me again!"
" and what will he think of you when he leanes what you did to bring him back "
The masters face twist in agony realizeing the truth of the doctors words.
"He'd hate me ...wouldn't he?"
" Clara "
" Oh , I'd say I'm sorry ,but I'd do it again " the master cried ,falling to her knees in pain .
" I'd do it again . Well what are you doing ? Why are you just standing there ? Do you understand what I have just done?" His brokenhaeted old friend sobed.
" Look at your hand" he told her
"There's nothing in my hand"
" Koschei , look in your hand". He
" there's nothing in my hand"
"Yes ,yes ,yes there is look.
The master looks down at her hand , and sees a sleep patch on her palm.
" did you seriously think that was going to work on me ? "
As the doctor says this , the master remembers the doctor pressing the sleep patche into her palm when she attempted to place it on his neck.
" They're not sleep patches . They induce a dream state ." The doctor tells her as he removes the patch from her hand ,causing Clara to wake up back inside the TARDIS .
" makes you very suggestible " he remarked as he picked up the keys from the floor .
" I allowed the whole scenario to play out just as you planned . I was curious about how far you would go ."
" well , now you know . " she sniffed .
" Yeah , now I know . "
"I love him " Clara declared .
The doctor scaned the master with his sonic screwdriver .
" yes,your quite the mess of chemicals , aren't you?"
" so, what now ? What do we do now ? You and me ,what happens now ?Doctor ?" The master asked afraid of the answer.
" go to hell" the doctor replied landing the tardis .
"Fair enough . Absolutely fair enough . " the master sighed turning away from her old friend and walked over to the door .
"Master ? You asked me what we're going to 're going to hell . Or wherever it is people go when they die . If there is anywhere . Wherever that is , we're going to go there and we're going to find Danny .and if is in any way possible , we're going to bring him home ."
" you're going to help me?" The master stared at the doctor in shock .
" well , why wouldn't I help you?"
" Because of what I just did . I just -"
" you betrayed my trust . You betrayed our friendship . . . Agian ! You have betrayed everything I have ever stood for . You let me down ! He shouted at her the hurt still burning in his eyes .
" then why are you helping me ? "
" Why ? Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference ?" The kind words of the doctor's brought tears to the masters eyes .
" stop it with the do you do that anyway ? It's like they inflate . Cute out the whining while your at it . We've got work to do . This is it , Koschei , one of those moments ."
" what moments? "
" the darkest day . The blackest hour . Chin up , shoulders back . Let's see what we're made out of ,you and I . Switching off the safeguards, turning off the nav-com . Remember , we did this before. We plugged you into the Tardis telepathic interface .
"We ended up all over dannys time stream " the master remember .
" because you and he are linked . Strongly linked . Your timestreams are intertwind .if he's anywhere at all , that link will hold. Give me your hands . "
"Doctor " the master hesitated .
" we're in a hurry " the doctor pointed out .
" I don't deserve a friend like you . "
" Master , I'm terribly sorry , but I'm exactly what you deserve."
The doctor placed her hands into the telepathic circuits .
She immediately felt a connection to the ancient machine, leaving her dizzy , she is vaguely aware of the doctor instructioning her to think about Danny and nothing else . His prompting was unnecessary as it turns out . Danny pink was all Clara could think of .
After a few moments the tardis started up .
"Well , the tardis thinks he's somewhere"
