Donna stared at the new man, eyes welling with tears. She bit her lower lip to keep it all in. She barely heard the gasps of her family as she whispered his name.

"The Master." Donna had heard stories of the Master from her father when she was really little. Her mother had always stopped him when it got to the scary part, saying that if Donna woke up screaming in the middle of the night that'd be his fault. Donna tried to convince her mum that she wasn't the least bit afraid, but the terrified look in her dark, brown eyes said it all. And she was sure that the Master's own endless eyes could see right through her.

"You know my name," the Master said, smiling sinisterly. "You're the Doctor's kids, aye?" He turned his attention back to Nico.

Nico's face was paler than it usually was, and his skin looked sallow and gaunt. His mouth was dropped to the floor, and the dead look in his eyes showed Donna that he was tired, and that he was angry, confused, and scared all at the same time. That's about how she felt right now.

"Hello son," the Master said, outstretching his arms. After a few seconds when his hug wasn't returned, he dropped his arms.

"Don't call me that," muttered Nico, gritting his teeth. His hands balled into fists. "Don't call me your son."

"Let him go," the Master ordered.

"Oh yeah, says the insane, evil Time Lord," Ember shot back, rolling her eyes.

"I will hurt you if you don't," the Time Lord replied, cocking an eyebrow. "I am very hungry."

When Jack and Luke didn't let go, the Master jumped on John and devoured his flesh in a few bites. After a few grisly seconds, the Master wiped his mouth on his sleeve and stuck out his tongue, wiping it.

"He didn't taste too good raw," the Master moaned. He licked his lips. "Still hungry!"

"What are you doing?" cried Elody. "Shoot him now for goodness sake!" Ignoring her, Jack let go of Nico and urged Luke to do the same.

Still, Nico didn't move.

"Well?" the Master asked.

"Well what?" Nico spat, angrily. "You were never my father. And you never will be. Did you know what happened to Sam because of you? Huh? Did you ever suspect for one second what would happen to us rotting in that God damn cell???" Nico stepped towards the glowing machine.

"No, Nico, don't go in there!" cried Jack. "That's a really bad idea!"

"Nicolas, don't go in there. We can work this out. You, and me, and… we can get your mother. Yes, Nicolas, think of that! Your mother. And maybe, with this machine we could bring back your sister! We could be rulers of the universe! Us, as a family! Nicolas!" the Master looked like he was pleading. "Please Nicolas! Don't go in there!"

Nico stopped about two inches from the glowing portal and turned around. Donna saw an angry look in his eyes. "Mom told me stories of you. She told me how you promised her title of Queen of the Universe." Nico laughed angrily and evilly. His eyes glowed with red. "That's not gonna happen to me, dad." He spat the name. "Oh, and by the way…" he stuck one foot in the portal. "My name is Nico."

With that, Nico stepped in the portal and disappeared in a flash of light.

"We have to find him!" Rachel cried. Everyone stared at her. That was the first time she had spoken this whole scene. She blushed, looking down. "If we don't find him, who knows what he will do? That portal, is full of radiation. It could give him amazing abilities. Something could happen. Who knows, he could be another Master!" she looked up at the Master, and then quickly added, "Uh, no offense or anything."

"Blondie's right," Kayla agreed, stepping forward. She had slipped away when Rachel announced her testimony to grab leather motorcycle gloves. She slipped them on. "Either way, we have to find a way to do this. Now, we're all different. I have my skills of stealth, Jenny and Jack have their history of the Time Lords or whatnot, Rachel has her book smarts, Donna has her quiet leadership, Luke has his strength and seducing powers, Trey has his geekiness, and Elody has her… uhh… Frenchness. Together, we can find Nico and track him." She turned to Jack.

"Didn't you guys find us by tracking us with whatever you have? Tracking Time Lord DNA? And how is our dad gonna die? Doesn't he just regenerate?" when everyone was puzzled at her smartness, she blushed. "What? I can't study Time Lord Genealogy too?"

"I suppose we can find him again," Jack thought out loud. "But if he uses a Gene Cloak or one of those keys the Doctor made…"

"What key?" asked Trey. "Is it cool?" he was still huffing for breath from the Time Lord transfer. So much had happened in the past five minutes.

"Duh, it's cool," Jack said, mocking him. "It's called a perception filter. Last time I saw the Master, we used it to hide." He furrowed his brows at the Time Lord. "Jesus, I almost forgot you were there."

The Master gave a small wave. "Hello," he said, smiling brightly. "God, I feel like a newborn!"

"How did you come back?" Katie demanded to know. She put her hands on her hips. "You were, well, dead. Lucy shot you!"

The Master clasped his hands together. "Not quite, deary. My essence went in a ring. Quite brilliant, actually. Oh, and the dear old ladies from the prison cell where my family… was kept all those years helped bring me back to life. I rushed here as soon as I could," he explained. "The whole building exploded after Lucy tried killing me again. Oh those crazy ex-wives!" the Master smiled at the kids. "But of course, since your father hooked up with pretty much every companion, I can see where you little tots came from!" he patted Trey on the head. "Good ol' son of Martha Jones, aye? She saved the universe from me in one year. I tried to kill her, dammit but she outsmarted me."

He walked over to Rachel under the cautious eyes of Jack. The Master seemed to do as he pleased. "You're Rachel Tyler. Mum didn't live up to her potential, really. She was pregnant as she flew through the Time Vortex to the parallel world, and tried to admit it to your father on Bad Wolf Bay but couldn't. Just wasn't possible. She gave birth and then saw him again, and she got her own little happy Doctor. But he died from heart failure. Imagine that! Heart failure!" he cried, obviously ecstatic at the pain in Rachel's eyes. "You know, I liked this pairing best! After the Time War, your mum made him better! But then she left and tears came and that's when good ol' Trey came in!"

"Elody Poisson, daughter of Madame de Pompadour! When he stayed in her world for five hours of 'fast time', what do you suppose he did all those years in the 'slow time'? Got the King of France's mistress knocked up for sure, lemme tell you that!" Elody cast her eyes down in shame.

The Master moved on to Donna, inspecting her. It took him about ten seconds to realize who she was. "Donna Smith! You're the daughter of the frizzy-haired archaeologist! Dear God, if he only knew that she was his future wife! See, you're the most innocent one, because you had both parents growing up, even if both of them were at work most of the time! But still, lucky you!"

He stared at Ember and Katie. "You're not related to the Doctor. Oh, but you're Time Lord, definitely! Both of you! I can smell you!" the Master took a big sniff. "Yes, yes, you, Asian! You're daughter of…" he sniffed again. "Romana? Is that Romana's blood I smell? Yes???... wait for it… you're not even related to the Doctor! Oh, I know! I'm thick! I'm old and thick! You're Romana's sister's daughter! God, that took a breath, didn't it? Don't know about her, but I know that she never told your dad, and that she died going back to Gallifrey to fight in the Time War."

He turned his attention to Katie. "You're… hmm, your mother must come from a genetic processor… like… ooh, I would taste you if I could, but that'd be awkward, wouldn't it? OH, I know!" he jumped in the air. "You're the bitch of these two!" he pointed at Jenny and Jack. "It's a small world, ain't it?"

"Stop! You've pretty much explained everyone but me and Kayla. We get it. We know who we are," Luke demanded, angrily. "Just shut up!"

The Master's eyes softened when he saw Luke's anger, but then went back to his mocking tone. "Oh, you're the son of Jack! Never did see him, aye? Child-abandonment issues? Yeah, but I admire you, sonny, I really do! Glad you didn't end up like my bastard of a child, Nicolas… Nico. No, why are you with him though? He betrayed you! Never did you any good! Whose your mother? Was it… Gwen? Yeah, Gwen seems right…" his voice trailed off as he faced all of them.

"Poor, lonely children!" the Master licked his lips. "Poor, bony little children! You won't make a feast, but it'll be better than nothing!" he turned to Jack and Katie. "Wait, if I eat you, will your body repair in my stomach? That'd be amazing and uncomfortable all at the same time!" he grinned from ear-to-ear at them.

"So are you gonna help us?" asked Donna, amazed, disgusted, and bemused all at the same time. She sounded surprisingly confident, even though she knew that at any time this guy could eat her in tiny little pieces.

The Master smiled like the Cheshire Cat—or like a hungry vulture, Donna couldn't tell. "Sure, lovies! Let's go stop my son from destroying the universe!"
