The usual copyright info, I don't own Doctor Who etc. Check last part for all of that shenanigans. From now on, I will post that info on only the first part. Anyway last time we saw the Doctor he had been captured by the Rutans and there was a traitor in the ranks of the Sontarans. What will happen next?
Tales of the Time War 1: Warrior Born
Part 2
The Doctor was shocked. Before him a Sontaran, an honour and war obsessed race that had willingly betrayed its kind. Of course the Doctor knew exactly what would happen next. The Rutan called for something and two more Rutans approached and with their tentacles restrained the Sontaran, his blue armour straining to stay in one piece from the pressure. His domed helmet fell from his head to reveal his face, the usual dome like cranium. Anger boiled in his eyes as he attempted to break free of his restraints. The Doctor smirked "Called it" his voice filled with an arrogance befitting of his kind. The Sontaran growled, "I demand to know, what treachery is this". The Rutan in charge glided over to the Sontaran. "That's for selling out your fleet. We are prepared now. Sure you may have helped us, but no one likes a traitor". The Sontaran strained to escape his restraints and the Rutan guards had trouble keeping him in place. The lead Rutan flicked his tentacle into the Sontaran's probic vent, enough to knock him unconscious not kill him. "And as for you Time Lord," the Rutan said with unquestionable authority and malice. "We'll have to use more extreme tactics to get you to squeal". It whipped the doctor knocking him over and his head hit the floor with a resounding thud. He was unconscious too. "Take them to the cells".

Commander Staal sat in the small pod with two soldiers piloting them towards Asceriani, the particular colony world of the Rutans that held the Time Lord Tech. Staal was no doubt a traditional Sontaran but he had his differences. He was very gruff and a beard like clump of hair coming off his chin. As the ship descended, Staal could sense the Rutan attack force surrounding them. He kicked down the door and with a barrage of lasers shot down the Rutan guards. The other Sontarans followed suit and soon 20 dead Rutans lay at the feet of the 3 Sontarans. The attack had begun.

The Rutan leader drifted towards a control station. How had just 3 Sontarans decimated their guards? The Rutan began to drift around. The Time Lord was still locked up and the TARDIS was now secure. Let the Sontarans come, because when they do the Rutans will be ready.

The Doctor awoke once more. What had happened, he couldn't remember, but he knew the TARDIS was in danger. He looked around the small cell to see a Sontaran in battered armour. And he remembered, the betrayal, the capture, the incoming army of Sontar- wait incoming army. The Doctor reached for his Sonic Screwdriver but found nothing. "If you're looking for sonic device the Rutans have it," revealed a distinctly Sontaran voice. The Doctor turned to the other prisoner. "You turned in your kind, why?" The Sontaran looked to the floor. "Linar". The Doctor was puzzled, "I'm sorry, what?" The Sontaran looked increasingly grim. "My name, although I suppose it means nothing now. I did it to avoid a war we cannot win, the Sontaran Empire plan to use your TARDIS to wipe out the Rutans and join the Time War. But if they do that we will be wiped out, at least against the Rutans we can survive the battles." The Doctor understood, although this type of thought didn't come naturally to a Sontaran. Suddenly an explosion shook the room sending plumes of dust everywhere. "We better get you out of here" muttered Linar, "They're here."

The Rutan leader couldn't believe his genius. He knew Sontarans were not known for their intelligence and he had led them into a carefully constructed maze. A maze if they went by example they would never escape.

Staal trudged through the maze painfully aware of the trap he had fallen into. A scheming Rutan tactic. However Staal was not like the Rutans thought. This would just by the Rutans time not prevent the attack. The other Sontarans followed behind dazed and confused. They turned, corner after corner until finally they had found their way out. The ship wasn't here, but the Rutans were. Their leader drifted to Staal. "So you found your way out. Good just in time for the show to start." With a flick his tentacle sped over Staal's back and into the back of one of the other Sontarans, killing him. With quick reflexes Staal pulled out his blaster and shot the Rutan leader, not noticing the sonic device that rolled from his corpse. The Rutans fell into disarray. It was no longer a battle, but a hunt. One by one the Sontarans picked off the Rutans until none were left standing, Staal admiring his quick victory began to seek out the TARDIS.

Linar and the Doctor watched this battle rage on, but despite this close proximity managed to escape detection. "That's Staal," remarked Linar, "Some say a better warrior than the General". Linar seemed anxious. He knew of Staal's prowess and had seen much of his threating ways. Even as pilot he was not free from intimidation. They could easily get a new one. The Doctor walked over and picked up his sonic screwdriver. Much to his dismay it had been trampled by the Sontarans steps. The once silver casing was battered and dented and the red circular light at the end had been smashed. "Come Time Lord, we must reach your vessel, abandon the device". The Doctor turned around to face Linar. "But I love my Sonic Screwdriver". Linar scoffed for a Time Lord he sure was childish. Linar led the way to were the TARDIS was being kept and the Doctor followed. Little did they realise the Sontaran commander watching the entire conversation. Staal smiled. "Gotcha".

Soon the Doctor and Linar stood outside the TARDIS. The Doctor withdrew the key he had hid from the Rutans and inserted it into the keyhole. With a twist and a click the doors swung open. The interior still matches his old easy lifestyle, with carpets and huge Gallifreyan symbols. He turned to Linar, "The Sontarans would kill you if you stayed, I could take you some place safe". Linar smiled expressing emotion Sontarans usually never display. "No, that would be dishonourable. I took this task knowing the consequences. Just one question, what do you call yourself?" The Doctor seemed confused. His gut reaction was to say The Doctor, but was that really fitting in the Time War, and he wasn't ready to give his real name. He smiled to Linar and shut the TARDIS door behind him as he entered. The groaning of the TARDIS engines sounded as the little blue box disappeared from view. Linar heard the heavy footsteps behind him. "Hello Staal".

The Sontaran commander was furious. "Don't you realise what this means, your treachery has cost us the Time Travel Tech. There's only one way to pay for this". As Staal raised his gun, Linar was happy in the knowledge that his species could go warring on, even without him. And with one blast Linar was dead. Staal raised his communicator and contacted Skall. "Yes sir, mission report. All Rutans on base dead". He could hear the General's approval. "However on the matter of the Time Lord, he escaped. A traitor warned him and the Rutans of our coming. Enough time to set up traps". However in history this failure would become seen as a victory. Despite the lack of time tech salvaged this would become Staal's first major step on the way to the rank of General. He would become known as Staal the Undefeated.

Meanwhile on the TARDIS the Doctor watched as the console room shifted around him. He now had a circular console in the centre and had returned to the roundel design. The TARDIS now had supports holding the ceiling up. The Doctor flew on, these sort of adventures behind him and the Time War ahead.

NEXT TIME: The Nestenes. A race of living plastic relying on food stock planets to survive. However when these are lost in the early days of the Time War, a single Nestene sets its eyes on not just one planet but an entire system.

Hello. Me again. I hope you enjoyed this first tale, it's over know. As you can see the second is coming soon. So look out for Dr Who: Tales of the Time War 2: The Nestene's Wrath.
Anyway on to the topic of this tale. I really enjoyed writing it, although I believe the second part was better written than the first. The Sontarans in particular were my favourite characters in this story. It's strange how a walking potato can have that much honour. Anyway to look forward to you obviously have Daleks and Autons as well as Zygons, Cybermen, Raston Warrior Robots, the Could've Been King, the Nightmare Child, the Skaro Degradations, and the Master. Hope you enjoy.

P.S. Please check out my friends stories. He is Konner N7, and writes stories based on Mass Effect. Just to be clear his character Ben is based on me although not all of it is true. Follow him up on that indeed.
