Here I am a week late :( Sorry for that folks, but to make up for it this chapter is kinds long-ish so I hope you enjoy it.
River turned to look at the Doctor, "Hello Sweetie", she purred at him.
"Who is she?", asked the Master, clearly not liking her.
"Oh, so he doesn't know me, that's a first", she said as she opened her diary and checked where they were, "Fancy invading an abandoned planet with me?"
"Yes-wait, what?!", he asked, suddenly taken aback.
"It's all in the name of Archeology", she said fluttering her eyes innocently.
"Wait, you're an Archeologist?!", asked the Master and she nodded, an amused smile playing on her lips, "What are you doing with an Archeologist?", he asked the Doctor.
"I thought you liked history", she cocked an eyebrow at him.
The Master looked insulted, "I'm a-"
"A Time Lord, yes, you point and laugh at Archeologists, yes, I know that rant already", she said it as if she had heard it hundreds of times already. The Doctor could barely keep himself from gaping, those were they exact same words he had used with River the day they had met and now she was quoting the Master, but then again all the Time Lords thought basically the same about Archeologists.
The Master stared at her for a moment, "You told her", he accused the Doctor.
"No, never", said the Doctor, not explaining anything, wanting to see if the Master could discover it on his own.
"Then how", the Master narrowed his eyes at the Doctor.
"You told me", said River, catching on, on what the Doctor was doing.
The Master stood staring at her for a short moment, he looked her from side to side, up and down till his eyes lingered on her Vortex Manipulator and then his eyes lightened up, "You meet out of order, hence the diary and you knowing me", he said with an air of smugness.
"He is good", said River impressed at which he looked even smugger.
"What planet are we talking about River?", asked the Doctor.
"It has been abandoned for more than two hundred years and was previously inhabited by- what the hell happed to your feet?!", she gasped as she saw his feet where blisters were forming, "And your hands?!", now also noticing his slightly burned hands.
"Why don't you ask the Master?", asked the Doctor dryly.
"Don't you tell me he tried to burn your shoes while you were wearing them?", she guessed.
"Now that is a good idea", said the Master with a smile.
"River!", exclaimed the Doctor aghast, "Don't give him ideas, I have enough problems with his ideas alone!"
"Don't be a whiner", said the Master, a slight twinkle in his eyes, clearly he was enjoying himself.
"I'm not-"
"Before you two start I'll take you, Doctor, away to the med bay and we'll treat your feet and hands", interrupted River and dragged the Doctor away to the med bay.
"How long?", she asked the Doctor as he was coating his feet in some purple goo.
"A few weeks, might be almost two months already", he said tiredly.
River winced, "How many times has he set fire to the kitchen?", she asked and tried not to laugh at the face he made.
"Five times", he said mournfully, "Why?"
"I just love to see your face every time I ask", he said trying hard not to laugh.
"It's not funny, he's burned all my jammie dodgers", he said sadly, "Speaking of which, I need to go to some planet that sells jammie dodgers."
River couldn't help but smile this time, "The team that is going to help us on the planet have jammie dodgers."
The Doctor didn't hesitate even one moment and grabbed a bandage to dress his feet, "We're totally going", he said gleefully and then stopped suddenly and his face fell, "Team, what team?", he asked.
"The team that helped me escape from prison, Grey, Bob and Annie", she explained.
"Oh", he said and resumed his happy demeanor as he dressed his feet.
Moments later and after a brief search in his room for new boots he and River went back to an empty console room with no Master.
"Oh, don't worry, he's so desperate to leave the TARDIS he will be back here in a moment", he waved it off.
"I'm not desperate", said the Master angrily as he came into the console room.
"Of course not", said River as she watched the Doctor run around the console, "Sweetie", she said and he stopped.
"Where is this planet and when are we expected?", he asked excitedly.
"Here", she handed him a small piece of paper with the location and date scribbled on it, "And try not to get it wrong this time", she purred at him, making him blush much to the amusement of the Master.
The Doctor ran around the console excitedly as he flew the TARDIS through the Vortex, pressing, pulling and pushing various buttons and levers.
"Since when do you like Archeology?", asked the Master distastefully.
"I don't like Archeology", said the Doctor as he made a face.
"Then why are you so-", he paused as he tried to search for the right word.
"Excited?", said the Doctor happily, "Jammie dodgers, River promised jammie dodgers!", he said excitedly.
The Master stared at him and then at River and kept doing so for the rest of the voyage.
"He's starting to creep me out a bit", whispered the Doctor to River as the TARDIS was about to land.
"I'm used to it", she said dryly as the TARDIS came to a halt.
"Off we go then!", he said happy and ran to the door, eager to get out of the stare of the Master.
"Look at this!", he said happily as he looked around at the old ruins of various types of buildings that were left over in the middle of some jungle.
Leaves covered the stoned soil, roots of giant rainforest trees had broken up the stones on various places and rocks had cracked open by the telltale signs of earthquakes. All the building's roofs had been blown away, pillars of the old fancy buildings were strewn around on the ground and small remains of gold and silver were still embedded in the walls and archways of the buildings, shining as the sun shone brightly above them.
"So, abandoned more than two hundred years ago, previously inhabited by who?", asked the Doctor as River and the Master came out of the TARDIS, "Oh, and River, close the TARDIS."
River closed the door and began on her explication, "Previously inhabited by a people that called themselves the Klatons, it is believed that they abandoned the place due to an invasion of savage animals."
"But you think that-", the Doctor paused, leaving it open for her to elaborate.
"That it was never abandoned", she said, "That the people only went into hiding beneath the city and that they are still there."
"Sounds good enough for me", said the Doctor with a grin.
They all turned around to look when they all heard the sounds of a machine. A giant truck came riding through the forest and stopped right before the city.
A young blonde woman jumped out the rider's cabin, "Hi there River, the men are in the trailer", she said as she went over to open it.
"Hi Annie, how was the ride here?", replied River.
"Oh, I've had worse", she waved it off, "Is that the Doctor you've been speaking so much about?", she motioned at the Master who scowled in response.
"No, this one over here is him", she motioned at the Doctor.
"Oh", she said as she furrowed her brows, "What's with the bow-tie?", she asked.
"Bow-ties are cool", defended the Doctor as he straightened said object.
Two men, one with black hair and one with brown hair came out of the trailer, "Hi there Miss Song", said the first one.
"Hi Bob", she said as the second man came out of the trailer, "Hi Grey", she greeted and he nodded, "I want to introduce to you the Doctor and his-", she paused, unsure look on her face.
"Acquaintance?", asked the Doctor to the Master who only rolled his eyes, "Acquaintance then", he smiled brightly at them.
"-the Master, who are going to give us a hand in this expedition", finished River where she had stopped.
They all set to work then, River's team got out all their equipment from the trailer as she began to walk through all the various old buildings, checking at some places for hidden pathways while the Doctor raided the trailer's kitchen and got himself all the jammie dodgers he could get his hands on and the Master basically just sat sulking on one of the fallen pillars at the center of the city while tapping a beat of four on it.
"Stop sulking", said the Doctor as he came out of the trailer with his arms full of packages of jammie dodgers.
"I'm not sulking!", he yelled.
"Then stop brooding", said the Doctor as he opened the TARDIS doors and dumbed all the jammie dodgers in the console room.
"I'm not brooding!", yelled the Master, not even once faltering in his tapping.
"Then what are you doing?", asked the Doctor as he came out of the TARDIS with two rolled up tents.
"I'm bored", said the Master annoyed as he continued to tap the pillar.
"Then set up your tent", said the Doctor as he threw him a sack containing the tent.
"I'm not setting up any tent", said the Master angrily
"You prefer to sleep in the TARDIS?", he asked and the Master scowled, "Come on, it'll be fun, a night under the stars and I've heard that there are two moons here!", he said happily and began to get out all the components from his sack.
"Remind me why are we here again", he said as he eyed the sack containing his tent distastefully.
"For jammie dodgers!", exclaimed the Doctor gleefully as he took out the manual from the sack and threw it aside while he muttered, "Not necessary."
"Fine", grumbled the Master and the Doctor knew that this wasn't going to be the end of it.
Nearly an hour and several discussions about how to set up properly a tent later only the Master had a tent ready for the night while the Doctor's tent was all sprawled down on the ground.
"I don't understand it, it should be all right and in its place", said the Doctor downheartedly.
"I told you while you were setting it up that you were doing it wrong!", said the Master as he went to sit back on the pillar and started anew with his tapping.
"Where did you learn to sit up a tent anyways?", asked the Doctor.
"I read the instructions, you dimwit!", he said angrily as he held up a little booklet, threw it at the Doctor and hit him at the head.
"Ow!", said the Doctor as he held his head with one hand and picked up the booklet with the other, "Why didn't you tell me?", he asked.
"You never read the instructions anyway", he said.
The Doctor opened his mouth as if to say something but closed it then again, "Fine, I'll read them", he grumbled and sat down to read them.
The single sun of the planet had already set by the time the Doctor had finished with his tent, the team had prepared dinner for everyone and River had already marked thirty three possible places where she was planning to drill the next day.
"Doctor you can't keep only eating jammie dodgers", said River as the Doctor filled his mouth with jammie dodgers.
"-Y -ot?", he asked, his mouth still full of jammie dodgers.
River grimaced and turned to the Master, "Please tell me he has been eating something nutritional", she said.
"I'm not his bloody nanny", said the Master angrily and walked away with his food.
River rolled her eyes, leaned over and took the Doctor's packet of jammie dodgers.
"Oi!", yelled the Doctor as she placed a bowl of soup in his hands.
"Eat up, you'll need the energy for tomorrow", she said and walked away before he could argue with her.
Not long after everybody went to sleep, the Doctor stayed long outside as he waited for both moons to be right above them, it was still alright, he didn't need much sleep anyway.
He walked around slowly, careful not to make any noise as he glanced absentmindedly at the Master's tent.
River had come to the TARDIS at the best of the moments, he could already imagine the fight they would have had if she hadn't appeared in the console room. Even though he didn't want to fight he knew that he was going to have to have a talk with the Master sooner or later about abandoning people behind.
He sighed after only thinking of the possible outcomes of that.
Maybe he should just make an extra effort and not get himself trapped or in severely difficult situations in which he might need the help of the Master.
The Doctor awoke the next morning to the sounds of people gathering their things for the day and River testing her drill.
"Morning River", he said as he came out of his test and straightened his bow-tie.
"Morning Sweetie, ready to discover what happed here all those years ago?", she asked as she set down her drill.
His eyes brightened up and was about to say something but River stopped him, "No Doctor, you are not going to use the TARDIS to go check again what actually happened", she said sternly at which his face fell.
"Fine", he grumbled.
"What's all this noise?", asked the Master as he came out of his tent.
"We're starting at point twenty six first, it's the nearest one from here", said River, picked up her drill and walked away.
"Is this place even safe to drill?", he asked with a raised eyebrow as he watched her walk away.
"Of course it is!", the Doctor waved him off, "So, coming?"
"Hell, no", he said and went to the trailer for breakfast.
"Fine!", said the Doctor as he waved his arms around, not wanting to start the day with an argument.
Several hours later and after discarding eight marked points, six of them leading nowhere and the other two leading to old family tombs they took their first break.
"Why are we here again?", asked the Master tiredly as he sat down near where the Doctor was seated on the ground, "And don't give me that nonsense about biscuits again", he added before the Doctor could answer him.
The Doctor grinned as he leaned closer, "Because River is a lot like me."
The Master furrowed his brows, "What do you mean?"
He gave him another wide grin, "She attracts just as much trouble as I do, wherever she's going you can almost certainly bet for excitement."
"You mean for trouble", said the Master tiredly, apparently not appreciating the idea of excitement.
"What's the difference?", grinned the Doctor as he took a bite from his jammie dodger.
The Master rolled his eyes, "Great, as if the universe needed two trouble magnets."
"Why are you complaining, you haven't even done anything", accused the Doctor.
"Nor have I any intensions of doing so", he said lazily and walked away.
"Grumpy as ever, I see", said River as she came to sit beside him.
The Doctor took a deep breath as he watched the Master walk away to the trailer, "I hope you have some security on that trailer", he muttered.
"Oh, believe me, I do", she said with a knowing smile.
"How long have you known him?", he asked.
She furrowed her brows, as if in deep concentration, "Quite some time", she finally said.
'Oh River, as secretive as ever', he thought as he gave her a wistful smile.
"Am I ever going to be able to help him?", he asked seriously in a soft voice as he looked in her eyes, searching for an answer, "Or does he continue on and on for an eternity with the drums?"
"Doctor you know that-"
"I know that I shouldn't be asking you, but please just give some hope for him", he looked pleadingly in her eyes. Through them he could see an inner turmoil being fought, whether to answer him or not, finally she just said, "You have a long road ahead of you, some days you'll heavily regret ever letting him on the TARDIS, some other days, though very few, you'll be happy that you did."
The Doctor made a face, "What does that suppose to mean?", he asked indignantly.
River laughed in response, aggravating him even more.
"Oi!", he finally said loudly.
"Oh, Doctor, you'll see, I can promise you that", she said mirthfully as she leaned closer and kissed his cheek, causing him to blush.
"I – I – wha –", he stuttered.
"Come on, there's still work left to do", she stood and then went back to work for several more hours.
It was already late into the day when they finally found an underground tunnel, which River immediately launched herself into walking through despite it being so late already.
"River these tunnels are centuries old, they could collapse at any moment!", yelled Grey from the tunnel opening as River went deeper and deeper into the tunnel.
"Of course not", said the Doctor as if Grey was being silly and plummeted himself into the tunnel, "Master?", he called out.
"I have no intentions of killing myself in some abandoned tunnel", called the Master back as he stood outside the crumbled rests of a house.
"Spoilsport!", yelled the Doctor back and went on with River.
"River you do realize that they are actually right?", began the Doctor, "Because it would really be easier if we just took the TARDIS and-"
"We are not taking the TARDIS, Doctor", said River as she rolled her eyes out of exasperation.
They came to halt when they arrived at a wall that blocked the way that was covered in foliage and roots from the trees above. They spend a time cleaning it and then discovered it was a hidden door.
"We alone can't move it", said River and ran back to the tunnel opening.
The Doctor got out his sonic and began to analyze every aspect that he could think of from the door.
"I've seen these marks somewhere before", he said in deep thought as he looked at said marks when River came back, her team just behind her.
"Is that so?", she asked and went to examine them with him.
"Yes, but I can't remember", he began to hit his forehead with his fingers, "Think, think!", he said to himself.
"Well, let us start pushing it open then guys", she motion for her team and they began to push, the Doctor abandoned his thoughtful state and went to help them.
With all their united effort they managed to get the door open quite easily and found a room that contained various other tunnels that had to be explored.
"River", began the Doctor as he went to stand close to her, "Why exactly did you call me in for the expedition?", he asked softly, being careful that her team didn't hear him.
"I didn't believe my informant when he told me that the place had been invaded by savage animals", she answered back just as softly.
The Doctor nodded, knowing River's contacts he was going to have to keep an extra eye open and went to study the inscriptions on the wall. As he stared at the inscriptions he found that it was in fact another door, he looked up and saw the Master walking into the room idly, "Come give me a hand here, Master", asked the Doctor and he just stared at him, "Not literary!", but the Master only rolled his eyes and walked away.
"I'll help", said Bob as he and Annie came near and began to help push it open.
"Why am I not sure about this?", asked Grey as they pushed and dust began to fell freely from the ceiling followed by rocks of various sizes, "Guys, I'm really not sure about this", he said urgently and then the room's ceiling began falling in, "Guys!", he yelled and they all stopped and ran to stand in the archway of one of the doors leading to a tunnel.
"You knew this would happen!", accused the Doctor the Master.
"I just happen to have paid attention my engineering classes at the Academy", he said smugly.
"Didn't you go to the same classes at the Academy?", asked River as she poked her head out of the arch and checked out the ceiling of the room to see if it was going to collapse.
"Yeah", said the Doctor softly as he tried not to wince, "I'm getting too old", he also poked his head out.
"It's gonna fall", said Grey mournfully.
Annie rolled her eyes, "No Grey, it's not-"
She got interrupted as the whole room's ceiling gave in with a loud crashing sound and a cloud of dust.
They all coughed and tried to cover their mouths and noses as best as they could with their sleeves.
River sighed when the cloud of dust had mostly dissipated, "Well, only one way out now", she said, hoisted up her backpack and began walking down the tunnel.
"Anything else to say, Annie?", asked Grey as they began walking with River.
"Great, now we're trapped", sulked the Master.
River had taken up the lead of everybody, her team had been asking for a break for hours and she knew she had to give them one soon. She looked around at the walls as she shone the torch's light on them, her theory was about to be proven true if any of the signs of life that showed these were true.
"Right, we're taking our break now", she said and threw her bag down, "We're only taking a short one, a few hours only."
"Thank goodness", said Bob and plummeted himself on the floor, used his backpack as a pillow and was asleep before he even knew it himself.
"Is he alright?", asked Annie as she looked at him.
"Yeah, he's always like that at prison", said Grey as he did the same as Bob.
The Master's head spun up, he looked like he was about to say something, but then resorted to only staring at them all.
"I'll take the first watch", said River as she sat down and opened her backpack in search for some dinner.
The Doctor, along with the others made themselves as comfortable as they could on the old stone floor and some of them began rummaging through their backpacks in search for some dinner as well.
After a few hours the only ones still awake were the Master and River, the Doctor had fallen asleep after repeatedly claiming that he wasn't sleepy and didn't need sleep.
"So, the Doctor's newest companion, the archeologist, works with prison escapees", he mused with a wry smile.
River gave a chuckle, "I'm not his companion", she said with a slight twinkle in her eyes.
He frowned, "Another one of his friends, then?"
"No", she seemed to be enjoying herself a lot.
The Master gave an exasperated huff, "Then what?"
"Let us just say that I'm his prison escaped archeologist – what should I call it – partner", she grinned widely as she saw his eyebrows shot up.
"And he knows this?", he asked.
"Oh, he does", she purred at him.
He then resorted to sit back and stare at her and her team, as if he could unravel all her secrets by just doing so.
The leftover hours went by in silence, River never waking up anybody for a second watch and the Master sitting idly against one of the walls, once in every while chatting with River.
"Get up everybody", called River as she shone her torch on her watch and decided it was time to get moving on.
"I'm awake!", yelled the Doctor as he suddenly sat up and stood up quickly, limbs flaying around awkwardly.
"Breakfast first!", yelled Bob and began unpacking his backpack, handing out sandwiches for all the team.
"Bob, if we hurry up you'll have breakfast at the camp", River tried to reason with him.
"But we might need the energy later!", he argued.
"Yeah, when we end up running for our lives!", added Grey as he devoured his sandwich.
"Don't be silly Grey", said Annie as she shook her head.
"Well, I'll go ahead to check out everything", said River and went on walking immediately, wanting to get to the end of the tunnel already.
"River!", she heard the Doctor yell behind her as she continued to walk on.
"Yes, Sweetie?", she asked as she went round a corner.
"I'm coming with you", he said when he had caught up with her.
They had walked on for a while when they came upon a room that was almost completely destroyed, piles of rocks laying everywhere, deep cracks on the walls and roots coming through the ceiling from the forest above.
The Doctor was sonicing a pile of rocks when he found a very familiar reading and began to urgently rummage through the pile.
"River", he said, his tone low and serious when he found something.
She shone her torch across a wall and saw it had a great crack in it, "Over here Sweetie", she called back and walked closer to the crack. She shone her light inside the crack and froze, what she saw in there was something she was very familiar with.
"River!", called the Doctor as he came to stand behind her, "I thought I knew the scribbles on the walls from a while ago, I had my theories but I didn't want to scare everybody, but just now I have discovered this place is-"
"An ancient Cyberman base", she finished for him as she didn't take her eyes off what she had just found.
"How do you-"
"Because I've just found one", she stepped back and let him also see the seemingly dead Cyberman that she had found inside the crack.
"It looks dead", he commented as he scanned it with his sonic.
"Is it?", she asked.
He was looking at the results of his sonic when the Cyberman's head lighted up and began to move.
"De-De-De-Del-Delete!", it struggled to speak.
"Run!", yelled the Doctor as he went back into the tunnel with River in search for the others.
"Cyberman!", he began yelling and Bob gasped, "It's an abandoned Cyberman base!", he yelled and began running down the tunnel again only to find the Cyberman walking unevenly towards them.
"Delete, Delete", he repeated.
Grey got out some weird electric gun and tried to shoot the Cyberman but instead almost shot the Doctor's leg.
"Grey!", yelled the Doctor angrily.
"S-sorry!", stutter Grey and the Master took the distraction as an opportunity, grabbed the gun and shot the Cyberman in the head, making it explode.
"Run!", yelled River and jumped over Cyberman now lying on the floor.
"Why are we running now, we have an expert shooter with us now!", yelled Bob as he ran.
"Because that gun only had enough charge for two shots", said Grey as he also ran.
"What?!", yelled the Master angrily and checked the gun only to find it was true, "Damn", he yelled and threw the gun away as he ran with the others.
"Because where one Cyberman is, there's always more!", yelled River as she ran around a corner and into a giant room filled with dormant Cybermen.
She gasped and motioned with hands for everybody to stop and be quiet.
Bob looked as if he was about to faint when he saw all the dormant Cybermen and Grey began searching through his backpack.
"Okay", breathed River trying to keep her nerves calm, "If anyone has another electronic blaster, now is the right time to bring it up."
"Nothing here", said Annie and elbowed Grey who only shook his head slowly.
"Doctor do you-", began River as she turned round and didn't found the Doctor where he had last been, "Doctor?", she asked and then began to look for the Master, "Master?!"
No answer.
"Time Lords", she gritted her teeth, "I'm going to kill them", she fumed.
"Over there", whispered Annie as she pointed at the far end of the room where the Master was running towards, he stopped in front of a huge door made of rock and began to push, "What is he doing?", she wondered.
"He found a door", she breathed out in relieve, "Now where has the Doctor gotten himself to?"
"Can we all just go to the door please?", pleaded Bob who looked ready to faint any moment.
"Here he comes!", said River as she saw the Doctor come running towards them.
"What are you doing?!", yelled the Doctor as he came up running to them, "Their control room is full of bombs set to explode in a few minutes", he grabbed River's hand and dragged her with him towards the door the Master had by now already gotten open.
"What?!", she yelled, "Where did you get them?", she asked as she hurried, her team just behind them.
"They come in handy sometimes, you know, for exploding stores full of Nestene mannequins and abandoned caves full of dormant Cybermen", he explained as they ran through what seemed to be another tunnel which eventually led to the entrance of a cave.
"Light, finally!", yelled Annie as they stepped hurriedly out of the cave.
"Nevermind the light Annie, RUN!", yelled the Doctor as he ran away from the cave as fast as he could.
And then the explosion finally happened. The ground trembled as they all covered their ears and ran before the cave collapsed upon them.
"Is it over?", began Bob, "Please tell me it's over", he pleaded.
"Yes Bob, it's over", said River as she patted his shoulder.
"There, Cybermen invasion prevented", said the Doctor smugly as he straightened his skewed bowtie.
River sighed, "At least we now know what happened here two hundred years ago", she mused.
"Who said we wouldn't be running for our lives?", said Grey as he glared at Annie.
"Shut up Grey!", yelled Annie as she helped Bob go back to the trailer.
"Where's the Master gotten himself to?", she asked the Doctor as she watched her team bicker on their way back to the trailer.
"Probably trying to break in into the TARDIS again", said the Doctor nonchalantly, she glanced at him, wondering what the history was behind that, but waved away her curiousness, she had other questions to ask the Doctor at the moment.
"You knew this would happen", she accused.
"What, no-"
"You brought bombs with you", she deadpanned.
"We-ell", he began nervously, "I knew something like this would happen", he conceded and she raised an eyebrow at him and ended up chuckling at his face.
"Of course Sweetie", she purred at him as she got closer to him.
"You too suspected something like this", he mumbled lamely as she held him by his bowtie.
"You think?", she purred back at him.
"Are you done flirting already?", called the Master from afar, "Or are we staying for the wedding?"
"Wha-"
"Maybe we do", teased River, interrupting the Doctor.
"River!", spluttered the Doctor, flushing a deep crimson.
"By Rassilon, make up your mind already, are we, or are we not leaving?", yelled the Master exasperatedly.
River chuckled at his antics, "Go Sweetie, I have the feeling he's a bit impatient to leave", she said as she let go of his bowtie.
"You'll be okay?", he asked, unsure, causing her to raise one of her eyebrows at him, "Fine, till we meet next Doctor Song", he kissed her hand.
"Oh, it'll be soon Doctor", she purred back at him and from the corner of her eye saw the Master roll his eyes and walk away hastily.
"I better go before he becomes too insufferable", he excused himself and walked back to the TARDIS.
As he got near the TARDIS where they had camped he hastily picked up the tents and snapped his fingers to open the TARDIS' doors.
The Master stomped by the Doctor hastily and went up one of the many stairs of the console room.
The Doctor snapped his fingers, closing the TARDIS' doors, "Fine, do whatever you wish", he said to the space where the Master had been and began setting the TARDIS in motion to get into the Vortex.
"Good, who was next on the list?", he mused and began searching through the TARDIS' archives.
Hope you liked it!
