"But he's got the TARDIS" Jack began.
Currently the time traveling crews were at Martha's flat digging up information on "Harold Saxon" Well the Doctor was anyways, Jack was making tea, and Martha was sitting on the arm of the couch.
"Maybe the Master went back in time and has been living here for decades," Jack continued, while stirring the tea.
"No." The Doctor said with his eyes glued to Martha's laptop.
"Why? It worked for me." Jack said coming out of the kitchen, with the tea.
"While he was stealing the TARDIS, all I could do was lock the coordinates." The Doctor started while Jack passed the mugs out. "I locked them permanently. He could only travel between the year one-hundred-trillion and the last place the TARDIS landed, which is right here right now."
"Yeah, but a little leeway?" Jack asked, not so sure.
"Well…18 months?" Jack sighed.
"Tops! The most he could have been here was 18 months. How has he managed all this?" He said looking at the laptop screen again. Then he realized "The Master was always sort of…hypnotic, but this is on a massive scale."
"I was going to vote for him." Martha said suddenly.
"Really?" The Doctor asked surprised.
"Well, it was before I'd even met you. I liked him." She continued.
"Me too." Jack said.
"Why'd you say that?" The Doctor asked, he was just answerd by confusion. "What was his policy? What did he stand for?"
"I dunno, he always sounded... good." Martha said, as she unconsiously almost automatically started tapping a beat. "Like you could trust him. Just nice. He spoke about..." tap, tap, tap, tap "I can't really remember, but it was good." Tap, tap, tap, tap, "Just the sound of his voice." Tap, tap ta-
"-What are you doing that for?" the Doctor says, noticing the tapping as she talks about the Master.
"What?"
"The tapping, what's it from?" The Doctor demanded.
"I-I don't know it's just tapping! I don't know!" Martha replied startled by the harshness in the Doctor's voice
Just then an urgent bleeping came from the laptop, signalling that there was an anoucment from the Prime Mister, all chanells on the TV. The Doctor was sitting infront of the TV in a flash.
"Our Lord and Master is speaking to his kingdom" he said condescendingly
"Britain, Britain, Britain," The Master starts, "What extrodinary times we've had. Just a few years ago, this world was so small. And then they came, out of the unknown, falling from the skies," the picture flashed to when the Slitheen crashed into the Thames "Big Ben destoryed, The spaceships over London" Now they were showing the 'ghosts', then the Cybermen, the Doctor feels a tiny pain in his hearts, but shoves it away quickly "All those ghosts and metal men, the christmas star." Now they were showing the Raconss' ship. "…that came to kill. Time and time again. And the government told you nothing."
In the office Rose crossed her fingers, she hoped this would work
"Well not me, not Harold Saxon, because my purpose here today, is to tell you this; citizens of Great Britain…I have been contacted" Martha, Jack and the Doctor all look at the screen in confusion "A message to humainity from beyond the stars." The pictue switched to the 'alien'. The Doctor's brow furrowed in confusion, he'd never seen this alien before.
"People of the earth," It started in a child like voice "We come in peace. We bring great gifts. We bring technology,and wisdom,and protection, and all we ask in return is your friendship."
"Awww, sweet." The Master says after the the 'alien' had finised, Mrs.Saxon gigles knowing what they really are.
"And this species has identified itself." He continues. "They are called the Toclafane"
"What?!" The Doctor shouted in disbelief
"And tommrow morning, they will appear. Not in secret! But to all of you." The Doctor's eyebrows nearly rose to his hairline in surprise.
"Dipmolatic relationships, with a new species will begin tommrow, we take our place…in the universe. Every man,woman and child. Every teacher, every chemist and every driver, and famer and shop girl. Consider having something like "The figure on the screen paused, a look almost like patronisation crossing his face "I don't know every…medical student?"
The Doctor looked at a very wide-eyed Martha, who looked at Captain Jack. Suddenly the Doctor went to the TV and twisted it around to reveal sticks of dynamite and a timer.
"Out!" That's all he needed to shout. Martha was out first followed by Jack follwed by the Doctor who grabbed the laptop and his coat. They were only in the middle of the street before Martha's flat exploded.
"Alright?" the Doctor asked
"Alright, yeah fine." Jack replied, still a bit lost.
"Martha?" The Doctor asked. No answer. He turned to talk to her, but she already had her cell phone out, dialling furiously.
"What are you doing?"
"He knows about me what about my family." She said urgently, typing in her home phone number.
"Don't tell them anything!" The Doctor said, trying to protect her and her family.
"I'll do what I like!" She shouted back. Jack looked at the Doctor to see his reaction, even he knew that was a bit uncalled for, but the Doctor just avaoided the Captain's gaze.
Have her Mum,Dad, and her sister all traped with the Master she tried one last person who had a family of his own so maybe he'd be safe. Martha dialed Leo's cell phone number.
"Hello?" Martha felt a suge of relif go through her.
"Leo! It's Martha. Are you all right?"
"Yeah we came down for a walk. Did you see that thing with Saxon on telly?" Leo asked, not hearing the urgency in his sister's voice
"Leo, just listen to me don't go home, I'm telling you. Don't phone Mum or Dad or Tish. You've got to hide." She was so desprate to help she couldn't keep it out of her voice.
"Shut up." He said, thinking it was a joke
"On my life! You have to trust me! Go anywhere and hide! And don't tell anyone!"
"Ooh nice little game of hide and seek, Martha" The Master said, tuneing into her call. "But I'll find you Martha Jones. A long time since we saw each other. Must be, what? Hundred-trillion years?"
"Let them go, Saxon" The one word and the Doctor was over there in a heart-beat "Do you hear me? Let them go!" Mr. Saxon just laughed. The Doctor took the phone, away from Martha.
"I'm here." The Master quicly sobered up and took the phone off speaker
"Doctor," He said in a whisper.
"Master."
"I like it when you use my name."
"You chose it. Psychiatrist's field day." The Doctor replied, walking away from Martha and Jack, they didn't need to hear this. And he didn't want them to.
"As you chose yours. The man who makes people better; how sanctimonious is that?" He said with a smile.
"So... Prime Minister, then." The Doctor said, in a light-dinner table conversation voice.
"I know! It's good, isn't it?" He spoke as if he were talking to an old school friend. And there was some truth in that.
"Who are those creatures? Cause there's no such thing as the Toclafane. That's just a made up name, like the Bogeyman."
"Do you remember all those fairy tales about the Toclafane when we were kids? Back home... Where is it, Doctor?"
"Gone." One word that's all the Doctor said. So Rose was right. But he still couldn't believe it
"How can Gallifrey be gone?!" He demaned rising out of his chair.
"It burnt." He replied darkly.
"And the Time Lords?"
"Dead. And the Daleks, more or less." He said, sitting down, there was still that one Dalek, hiding in the universe
"What happened to you?" He asked.
"The Time Lords only resurrected me because they knew I'd be the perfect warrior for a Time War. I was there when the Dalek Emperor took control of the Cruciform. I saw it." He paused, memories coming back. "I ran. I ran so far... Made myself human so they would never find me, because…" It's now where he wishes his wife was here to hold him, at least she understood. "I was so scared."
"I know." Of couse he does, he'd been his best friend at the Acdemy, but they both have changed. So maybe he doesn't anymore.
"All of them?" He said trying to switch the subject off him and back to the Time Lords
"But not you, which must mean..."
"I was the only one who could end it. And I tried, I did; I tried everything." The Doctor said sadly.
"What did it feel like, though? Two almighty civilizations, burning. Oh, tell me, how did that feel?" He was getting wrong ideas. It was always power for him. Mainly that's why Rose is his wife.
"Stop it!"
"You must have been like a god." He said spinning a globe.
"I've been alone ever since. But not anymore. Don't you see, all we've got is each other." The Doctor said desperately.
"Are you asking me out on a date?"
"You could stop this right now. We could leave. We could fly across the constellations if that's what you want. But not on Earth!"
"Too late." He says in a low voice.
"Why do you say that?" that Doctor asked, with just a bit of curousity, and fear mixed in
His plans were already in place, everything was in order, and the drumbeat was getting closer. Besides he promised Rose. Ah Rose….
