Note: Part two... there's an extra note at the end of this chapter. I hope you like my choice ;)

"Right you are, Rose. I have a theory, but I'll need your team to get something from the archives for me, Romana. Do you know where to find the Hand of Omega?" the Doctor asked.

"What could you possibly use that for?" she questioned.

"What it was designed for. You tell me, would that close the breach?" he replied.

"It wouldn't just close the breach, Doctor, that would destroy Gallifrey," she told him.

"Well, I thought I already did that centuries ago. Might as well follow through. Can you get it?" he requested.

"I think so," she sighed.

Their conversation was suddenly interrupted by another transmission from Gallifrey, transmitted in Galactic Standard so that all of the ships would understand. "Greetings from Gallifrey. I am Rassilon, President of the Time Lords. We have been forced out of your universe by the Doctor. It is our goal to return and restore balance to the web of time. To do this, we require the true name of the Doctor. The ones to acquire this information for us will be considered close allies and given technology beyond your wildest dreams."

"Well, guess they all know why they're here now," Clara commented.

"Right, we need to find a way to get Romana and her team out of there as soon as they have that hand thing," Rose decided.

"Yes, best get the TARDIS moved closer to the breach and I can work on connecting one of those Vortex Manipulators into the ship's computer. She can use it to create a teleport to pull them through. I don't want to fly her over there if I can help it," the Doctor told them, activating the controls that would move the ship next to the spatial disturbance nearby.

A new transmission from the Church of the Papal Mainframe made an announcement to everyone in range. "Attention. Attention all Chapels and Choirs of the Papal Mainframe. The siege of Trenzalore is now begun. There will now be an unscheduled faith change. From this moment on, I dedicate this church to one cause. Silence. The Doctor will not speak his name, and the Time War will not start anew. Silence will fall!"

"Guess we know how all that started now," Rose commented.

"That's one hell of a time loop," Jack realized.

"I don't understand," Clara said confusedly.

"Your mother, dear. They kidnapped your gran Amy, so that they could manipulate your mother's life to make her try to kill the Doctor and me. We never knew why, but it's because of now. It all starts here," Rose explained.

"Romana? Come in Romana," the Doctor called once they were in position.

"Yes, Doctor. I'm here."

"How long do you need?" he asked.

"Give us thirty minutes," she replied.

"Got it. You'll all need to be in a three metre radius for me to transport all of you," he warned.

"Message received."

"Clara, may I borrow your Vortex Manipulator once again?" the Doctor requested politely.

"Will I get it back in one piece? The last time you tinkered with it, I had to spend a week putting it back the way it was," she complained, but handed him the device.

"No promises," he mumbled as he started to connect it to the TARDIS console.

Rose wondered exactly what it was that this Hand of Omega would do. Romana seemed quite worried about using it for whatever he had in mind, but her husband had always told her that Romana was brilliant and she did agree that the plan would work.

Outside of the TARDIS, they could hear the attacks from the orbiting ships. It was odd that they would attack the settlement with energy weapons directly if they wanted information from him. They couldn't very well get him to talk if he was dead. Checking the scanners though, they realized that it was the Dalek ships that were attacking.

"They don't want Gallifrey to come back either," Rose said, looking over his shoulder.

"Well, if the Time Lords are forever stopped from coming back, then the Daleks officially won the Time War. Killing us would be a bonus as far as they're concerned," he agreed.

"I thought their memory was wiped of our existence?" Rose questioned.

"How did you manage that?" Clara wondered.

"Oh, well, we met a very bright young lady. She managed to hack into their Path Web and delete all information about us. But, I believe that is in their future, even if it's our past. There is also the possibility that they could regain some of that information by assimilating the computer systems of other ships or computers. Remember how the Cybermen used the Daleks' technology when Jamie was a baby?" the Doctor explained, reminding Rose that it was probably Clara in the future that had done that for them. Aria seemed to have her own TARDIS on the Dalek Asylum and knew exactly how to deal with the Dalek computer systems.

"Ok, so they are all fighting out there, is there anything we can do to protect the people living here while we work on this?" Jack wondered.

"I can try to extend our extrapolator shielding like we did on the Game Station, but I'm not sure if I can cover the whole town," Rose suggested.

"We could go out and try to get all of the people closer. Not sure they'll listen to us," Clara said.

"Will your teleport still work if we do that, Doctor?" Jack questioned.

"Hmm? Oh, yes, yes. The breach would be inside the shield. Shouldn't affect it at all," he replied distractedly.

Rose got to work on the extrapolator controls. With Jack's help, they managed to cover most of the town. They just needed to make sure as many as possible were inside. Rose set up her sonic to enable her to open sections of the shield temporarily as they brought people through.

"Alright, Jack, Clara, you're with me. Doctor, listen for your friend's call," Rose ordered, taking control of the situation.

"Be careful out there. We don't know if any hostiles were in the area before you put up the shield," the Doctor warned.

"Don't worry, Doctor, I'm on it," Jack assured him, taking out his blaster. Clara pulled hers out as well. They never liked to resort to that kind of thing, but they were entering a battle ground and had to be ready for anything.

The trio of Rose, Jack, and Clara circled the edge of the shielded area, letting people through to safety and explaining as best they could about the danger. Telling them that there was a dangerous hole on their planet that was attracting evil people seemed to work. They assured the native people that they would protect them as long as they stayed inside the shield and were working on closing the hole so that no one would bother them again. They froze in their tracks when they saw a very familiar face on the other side of the shield, held at gun point.

"Jamie!" Rose cried.

"Hold your position," the cyberman behind him ordered. "You are the Abomination. You will give us the information that is required. You will give the cybermen the name of the Doctor."

"Mum, you can't," Jamie insisted despite his position.

"You let my father go this instant," Clara shouted, pointing her blaster at his captor threateningly.

"There is an energy barrier between us. Your weapon is no danger to this unit," it replied.

"I could lower the shield with the press of one button," Rose informed it.

"And allow us to destroy everyone inside," the cyberman replied, prompting a small army of them to march up behind it.

"How did you even know about Jamie? Where's River?" Rose demanded, her sonic ready to open a hole in the shield, but not activating it yet.

"It is known that the Doctor feels strong emotions with regard to the Abomination. Research revealed several familial relations that could be used. It was decided that this one would be the most meaningful to both of you," it explained.

"She was visiting her parents. I was by myself when they found me," Jamie assured his mother. They would have to retrieve his TARDIS later, but since the two were connected, it wouldn't be impossible.

"Right, look, he does mean a lot to us. To me, to the Doctor, to the people right here. But I can't tell you the Doctor's name, even if I wanted to," Rose responded.

"Then this person is useless," it said harshly, immediately firing its weapon at point blank range.

Jamie screamed as he fell to his knees in front of the group of cybermen, but almost immediately, a haze of golden energy began to surround him. His eyes locked with his mother's and she nodded to him in assurance that she would make sure that he was alright. The sudden blast of regeneration energy pushed all of the cybermen back from where they had been facing off through the shield, giving them the perfect chance to get through and retrieve him. The instant that the opening was made, Clara and Jack ran to pick him up from the snow covered ground. Turning back to return to the safety of the extrapolator shielding, the cybermen began to fire on them. Jack was hit in the back, tumbling to the ground halfway through the shield, but Rose quickly dragged him through the rest of the way before reinstating their protection. Clara stumbled with her father when Jack fell, but managed to keep moving. Jamie was disoriented and stumbling, but not unconscious.

"Rose, what's happening?" the Doctor asked urgently from the TARDIS.

"A group of cybermen kidnapped Jamie and brought him here as a threat. He just regenerated, but we got everyone back on this side of the shield. We're bringing him back to the TARDIS now," she answered while urging the now revived Jack to run back with them.

"We need to get back to the TARDIS. We've helped as many as we can right now. And Jamie, your father is going to be insanely jealous," Rose told them as they ran.

"Jealous? Why? Oh, my voice is quite different isn't it?" he replied.

Rose only smirked in response and pulled out her key to open the door for them. Clara was still helping to support her father as he got used to his new form and regained his strength.

"Is everyone-? Oh, that's not fair!" the Doctor shouted when he saw them enter the console room.

"What's not fair?" Clara wondered.

"I never get to be ginger and he gets it his first time!" the Doctor pouted as he looked over his son's new appearance. He was indeed very ginger, his freckles becoming even more pronounced than before. He also looked very young, possibly even widening the apparent age gap between him and River. He was a bit shorter than before and, while not heavier, his shoulders seemed slightly broader, making his clothing fit differently.

"Am I ginger? Brilliant! I hope River likes it," Jamie said with a smile.

"Enough of that for now. Any word from Romana, Doctor?" Rose interrupted.

"Not just yet. Our extrapolator shielding seems to be holding everyone back for now," he answered, flipping a few switches as he studied the monitor.

"I hope no one else got the bright idea to abduct my family to pressure us into talking," Rose mumbled worriedly.

"Don't worry, Rosie. Your mum is with the entire Torchwood team and Amy and Rory have River with them. Now, what does this thing you asked your friend to get actually do, Doctor?" Jack wondered.

"Originally, it took a collapsing star and contained it inside of Gallifrey as the Eye of Harmony to be the power source for everything the Time Lords did. The plan is to use the Hand of Omega now to remove the Eye from Gallifrey and place it into another planet in this universe. As Romana pointed out, that will likely destroy Gallifrey and the bubble universe along with it. This is extremely dangerous, but hopefully better than the destruction of the entire universe," the Doctor rambled.

Before anyone on the TARDIS could respond to his explanation, there was a beeping sound indicating an incoming transmission.

"Doctor, we're ready. I hope you know what you're doing," Romana called.
