What happened after that is difficult to say as only he was there and he's only told us what he think we should hear...but I can piece it together and it isn't pleasant as neither was what followed that.

Ashena cut down another creature as the quartet gradually carved a bloody path to the edge of the battle, which was now reaching its zenith as the rest of the alliance tipped the balance and the outcome was no longer certain.

But she wasn't focused on the battle; she was focused on the duel that was going unnoticed on the edge of it.

She pushed her mount past the last of the fighters and not waiting for the others set off towards the two combatants, who were still circling each other.

She saw her mother drop his blade and fall to his knees and as she closed the gap she saw her father close the gap between them and step behind and she saw the glint of a blade.

"Father, no!" she cried.

Her father or whatever was using her father paused and grinned and called. "Don't worry little girl, I'll get to you."

Her hearts went to her throat as the blade was pressed against her mother's throat and a trickle of blood appeared.

Rage welled up inside her like a red tsunami and with a snarl she launched herself from her mount and straight at her father, but whatever was using him was quicker and with an answering snarl twisted and she found herself underneath and the same blade that had been at her mother's throat was now aimed at hers.

"Little girls shouldn't play grown up games," the thing that was using him snarled as he pressed the blade forward.

She didn't have the strength to stop him; her father was about to commit infanticide.

"My Lord will have fun torturing your mother with your murder."

The blade came closer and she could see her mother's blood; what she didn't see was the punch that stunned her.

"Not yet, little girl, he has to see this," Sisai snarled.

He moved back to the paralysed Time Lord. "I will take something precious from you," he snarled and half dragged and half pulled him towards the still stunned Ashena.

Sisai looked at her again and a wicked thought formed in his mind...why kill her, the pleasure would be over too quickly She was pretty and young, capable of having many children...many hosts for himself; why settle for just a few lifetimes, when you could have many.

He suddenly found he no longer needed Sorsha to give him the power he craved. He grinned and turned back to the stricken Time Lord and lent forward and whispered something in his ear and then turned away.

"Little girl...," he snarled and moved towards her.

Sisai was going to take great pleasure in what he was about to do as he loomed over the girl...well he did until he looked her in the eyes and saw...

He recoiled at what he saw...what he saw was a power that no-one should possess and he saw his own death.

"Abomination," the girl snarled at him and her eyes flashed lighting blue and clamped her hands on Sisai's head and fire began burning through him and he found himself wrenched from the Time Lord's body and caught in a web of blue electric fire.

The Doctor let out a cry of impotent rage deep inside his own mind; he knew what was coming and there was nothing he could do to stop it, not himself or the Storm. He could feel the paralysis spreading...soon it would reach his hearts and they would stop and then it would reach his brain and death would follow soon.

All he could do was watch as the thing that inhabited the Master advanced on Ashena...then he felt it...that power he felt that time oh so long ago on a bridle path on a now forgotten world and it felt glorious.

His daughter was exacting the vengeance that he could not.

He couldn't even laugh when he saw the thing that inhabited the Master being wrenched from his body nor could he shut out the screams of pain from him as it did.

He couldn't even smile when Ashena knelt down next to him nor could he cry out when he felt the power surge through him and the creature that called itself Sorsha was driven from his body.

Then he felt no more as the pain overwhelmed him.

Ashena was still stunned from the blow but she heard the words the creature said to her mother.

When it turned to her, she could see the intention in its eyes...her father's eyes and she froze...this wasn't happening.

But this time it wasn't fear that flowed through her, it was rage and something else, a power she hadn't felt since she was very young...a power she hadn't been able to control.

But not this time, this time she was very much in control and nothing was going to do to her what that filthy T'ara had tried to do and certainly not using her father.

She looked into the eyes that were no longer her father's and snarled.

"Abomination."

She clamped her hands on her father's head and poured that power into him, knowing that it could kill him but knowing it had to be done...to rid him of the thing inside.

She drove it out of her father's body, ignoring the screams of rage from the thing and the pain from her father and snared it in a web of power and then ignored it and turned from her stricken father to her stricken mother, feeling the presence of another abomination.

It was a mercy that he was paralysed by some means and would not struggle, but she couldn't spare him the pain.

"I'm sorry," she said and placed her hands on his head and closed her eyes so she could see his silent screaming.

But the creature inside her mother fought and she could feel the power draining her and she knew what the outcome would be, but she had to free her mother.

So she turned attack into retreat and the creature rushed forward and into her mind and as it did she closed the trap around it and as it was still screaming in impotent rage she plunged her own blade into her chest and she refused her body's urge to regenerate.

So she died, but she died knowing she had given her parents a chance of life.
