Time looked up at the Doctor, her blue eyes suddenly brightening to gold as he walked up to her in an almost animistic way, eyes narrowed in a cold fashion as he said "Why are you doing this? It makes no sense! The Fury told me you needed a vessel, you can make one of pure Time Energy! Why drag me and my friends here?"

The Embodiment smiled in a true childish fashion as she motioned for the Doctor sit down. "Honestly, do you think I like being trapped here? Your people, the people I created trapped me here with no one intellectual to talk to and they expect me to stay calm. I've had enough of it."

"It was for the safety of the universe." The Doctor snapped, Time blinked up at him with eyes so cold that it almost made him freeze. "If you weren't put here, everything would have burned! It was for the care of everything!"

She rolled her golden eyes in a sour fashion. "Honestly, it was because I didn't have a vessel, you try creating a body of pure Time Energy. Nothing could hold it correctly in this body so naturally a vessel would be needed."

The Doctor narrowed his eyes, unfazed by the girl 'innocent' play. He blinked as she continued on, chatting playfully. "I've been watching you for a long time, Doctor. I know every secret in your dusty head. I know your real name, its quite interesting. Want me to say it?"

"Don't. You. Dare." The Doctor growled, he was forcing himself not to throttle the child as she laughed.

Time blinked. "Honestly, Rassilon made the right decision banishing you in the first place. With your lack of faith in him, made a perfect spot for me! Tell me, when you visited that motel with minotaur, what did you think you higher belief was? Definitely not your friends or the TARDIS...look at your hearts. Who protected you through everything?"

The Doctor blinked, he grit his teeth. She was right, he didn't pray or anything but he always believed that Time had a better place in his hearts. The girl smirked, golden eyes flashing as she stood, in response the Doctor backed away. He shook his head and said "What are you playing at? Messing with my head to earn a spot for 'redemption'? It's not in your definition."

"Never redemption." She growled out. "Freedom from this prison and you're going to help me with that."

The Time Lord knew what she was meaning but he hoped it was something else. "What do you want me to do? Drive you away in my TARDIS?"

Time smirked, it was a face too cold for anyone with a body that age could have made. It made the Doctor freeze in panic and fear as a knife appeared in her hand. The Doctor stepped back, trying not to panic as his life in that regeneration flashed through his mind. He had no regenerations left, if she killed him now, he'd be dead and stay that way.

"Don't move." Time growled. "I'd hate to make this painful." The Doctor screamed as she lunged.


"Rose?" Jack breathed, eyes wide at his lost friend. He hadn't seen her in years, hundreds to be exact. "Rose?"

The Bad Wolf blinked and walked forward, eyes wide as she glanced at the companions, some she knew while others she didn't. Martha flashed a smile and glanced around before interrupting Rose's and Jack's hug and discussion. "Sorry to interrupt, truly am. But I think we have bigger issues than getting reaquainted. We need to find the Doctor."

Rory nodded, he had a hand on the hilt of his sword as he said "I agree with Martha. He's the only one that knows or has a better idea, of what's going on here and why we were all brought together. Something purposely brought the companions together just so it could take the Doctor. Why?"

Clara stepped up, amber eyes narrowed as she said "The Doctor, while I was with him, looked like he knew what this place was. He never told me what it was, any of you?"

Everyone shook their heads, silence took the place of talking while everyone tried to think of a logical reason to what would bring them here and what was powerful enough. Suddenly Donna spoke up "When I traveled with the Doctor he told me about Gallifrey and some of their mythology. It's a lot weirder than Greek I might say, but he said that they trapped their most powerful goddess in a forever-changing maze."

Jack shook his head and raised an eyebrow and said "So you're telling me, that some big bad old Time Lord legend is trapping us here because we violated some law or something? Big universe, but come on. You expect me to believe some 'higher power' is going after us?"

Rose smirked. "Well I was a goddess for like five minutes...so I believe it. Donna, what did he say it was that they trapped here?"

"Time." She said with a nervous swallow. Donna glanced at Rory who was taking this in with a lot of confusion. "It took thousands of tries and many things died. He told me it was possible for her to escape but very tricky. So, I have to say...we're caught up in the middle of it. But why would she want the Doctor of all people to help her escape? He helped trap her."

Amy suddenly said "Unless she needs the help from the only surviving Time Lord in this universe."

No one had time to answer because then a terrified scream split the air, everyone knew that there was nothing else in the maze that could have made that awful noise. For the first time in their lives, the Doctor was screaming, not in rage but in pure terror. Amy felt her stomach drop at the noise while Rory only looked around trying to find where his son-in-law was. The sound was suddenly cut off and that's when Jack took place of command. He yelled to gain their attentions.

"Amy and Clara you're with me!" Jack said, the two women nodded with narrowed eyes. "Rory, you take the rest. Now we need to find him! Report back to me when you found something!"

Rory didn't even have time to argue being Jack thrust a radio into his hands form one of his many pockets. The Immortal man grabbed the two women and ran away from the others. Clara managed to keep up well in her boots while Amy just ran, panic driving her every movement as her thoughts were all for her Raggedy Doctor. Suddenly a cracking sound was heard as a portion of a wall moved upwards. Clara stopped suddenly gazing into the darkness, until the room was ablaze with golden light.

She screamed as she saw the body sprawled on the floor, lifeless. Jack and Amy had no choice to follow as she ran inside.
