And now to the stuff you are all interested in!

"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?!", she asked angrily, channeling all her anger on the intruders.

"Step away from him", said Jack in a cautioning voice.

"And what if I don't want to?!", she challenged, "What are you doing in my house?!"

"Please stay calm", said Martha as she stepped forward, Mickey near her with his gun ready, he had heard enough stories about the Master to know he had to be very cautious.

River was at Jack's side also aiming her gun at him, the Ponds stood behind her and Sarah Jane stood watching from the living room with Clara.

"We are here looking for somebody", said Jack, trying to speak in a calm voice.

"You're from that warehouse", she said panicking, "You're not taking him back there!", she yelled.

"No, no, we're not", said Jack and took a step forward.

"Stay away from me!", yelled Grace.

The Master just stood there, he just knew this wasn't going to end well.

Jack turned slightly to River and whispered, "We need to take him down", she nodded, "At my sign", she gave a quick nod again.

"Now", he said and they all charged on the Master, who, surprisingly to them, didn't resist as River cuffed him.

"What's happening?", asked Clara as she tried to see what was happening in the kitchen.

"Clara?", she heard and turned around and gave a squeal.

"Doctor!", she yelled as she saw him standing there holding on the wall to stand up straight in his nightclothes and ran to him.

"What's with all the noise?", he asked as she hugged him.

Grace came running into the living room, "Doctor, these people invaded the house", she said gravely.

"Grace!", he began happily, not noticing the other people yet, "This is Clara, the Soufflé girl I had been telling you about", he walked towards her.

"The TARDIS finally brought her here, hello Sarah Jane, and you said she wasn't going to come, but I told you that the-", he suddenly stopped, what had he just said?

He turned slowly and saw Sarah Jane standing there, "SARAH JANE!", he exclaimed and went to hug her.

She returned his hug with a chuckle, "I'm glad you are all right, Doctor."

"Why-What are you doing here?", he asked perplexed.

"Is it only me or are you missing something, Doctor?", asked Jack as he came from the kitchen to stand by Sarah Jane.

"Jack?", said the Doctor happily and Martha and Mickey came to stand near him, "Martha! Mickey!", he said as he gave each a hug.

Then he saw River and his face fell, but a he quickly put on a smile for her, "River", he greeted her.

"Hello Sweetie", she purred at him and his smile widened as he unconsciously tried to comb his hair with his fingers, he stop mid motion when he saw the Ponds and his face fell completely.

"Where are we River?", he asked urgently at her.

"Doctor, we can-"

"Where are we?!", he said impatiently.

"Does this need to make sense for any of us?", asked Mickey to no one in specific.

"Doctor you can leave this for later", said Jack, "We just caught the Master in the kitchen", he said gravely.

"No, River has to answer - wait, you what?", he asked perplexed.

"River gave her cuffs so we cuffed him to the pipework of the sink", said Jack, "Also, she still has to explain why she has cuffs."

"Spoilers", said both River and the Doctor at the same time as he went to the kitchen and knelt by the Master with some difficulty and after a few moments managed to uncuff him.

"What?!", asked Jack furious and was about to say more but River won him.

"What do you think are you doing?", said River angrily.

"I have known you long enough to know how to use your cuffs, now tell me what is happening and why are you all here", he said and looked sternly at her face.

"Why are we here?", asked Martha indignantly, "Why is he here and why have you just uncuffed him?!", she asked angrily pointing at the Master.

"He is not the problem, River what is happening here?!", he tried to make her talk.

"Oh, you are Impossible!", she yelled at him exasperated.

"River I saw-", he began but couldn't bring himself to say it, "What happened with your diary, why are the Ponds here, what have you done River?!", he said desperately, fear rising in his chest that she had done something she really shouldn't have.

Jack gave up the Doctor taking notice on the Master so he went towards the Master and hauled him into a standing position pointing his gun at his head.

"Jack", warned the Doctor.

"He's going to wait outside till we all talk this out, cuffed to the car", he added with another haul.

When he came back things were still tense as when he left.

"Good", he began, getting the Doctor's attention, "There have been energy anomalies all around Great Britain, Martha, Mickey and I ended up at the same building following the signal, but only found an empty building, we met Sarah Jane there as well but she was after a small spaceship that had fallen because of the anomalies. We found the ship which turned out to be from some people called the 'Teselecta'", he saw the Doctor's eyes brighten up in interest, "In the ship we found records of you, Doctor, they said you were dead and that River Song had killed you", he saw the Doctor twitch slightly.

"The energy anomalies worsened, so UNIT decided to call a version of you before you died, they searched for your last recorded companions and ended up at their house", he pointed at the Ponds, "They said they weren't traveling with you anymore, not long after we arrived she", he motioned at River, "Arrived and told us what they", he pointed again at the Ponds angrily, "Had forgotten to, that you were alive and that she had never murdered you, she also said that the TARDIS had called her and in the call she only heard her cloister bells."

"I knew something like that had happened", said the Doctor deep in thought.

"She then took us to Clara's house to find out where you had gone to last time you had come by her house, she had no idea where you had gone to, but fortunately the TARDIS then materialized on Amy and Rory's backyard", the Doctor nodded, starting to understand the 'whys', but he still had to know the 'hows', "Once inside her, she", he glanced at River, "Revealed that she could pilot the TARDIS, which turned out to be true since we ended up in Victorian London with Madame Vastra and her Sontaran butler", he saw the Doctor smile, as if trying to swallow a laugh, "We discovered that the same energy anomaly's signal was still present at that age in the same building, so we raided it and found a portal to the warehouse, where we met his", he glanced at Chang, who was standing silently near the door, "Friends were waiting for us", he finished his story.

The Doctor nodded and turned again to River, "What are Amy and Rory doing here River?", he asked, he knew only too well that they ought to be at Manhattan.

"Doctor-", began Amy, both she and Rory had been silent all this time because she knew how painful this was going to be for him.

"No", interrupted the Doctor, his face showing all the pain he was feeling, "I saw that Angel take you Amy, we both saw Rory's grave!", he said sadly, on the verge of tears.

Martha gasped, she now understood what was going on, why the Doctor was so sad and why he kept yelling at River to explain.

"Doctor, let me explain", began River.

"Tell me", said, his face sad, "Tell me what did you do, ", his heart broken, he knew that if River had brought them back she must have broken a law of time or several of them, "Tell me that what you did didn't cause a paradox that's going to blow up time itself", he pleaded softly against hope.

"I didn't break any law of time, Doctor", she said immediately.

"What", he said, his face changing immediately, "Then how?"

"Doctor", said Amy coming closer, "River found a way to fake our death and put up fake gravestones", she said happily with tears in her eyes.

Jack inched closer to Martha and whispered, "What are the angels and why did the Doctor think they had killed his companions?"

Clara, Sarah Jane and even Chang and Grace got a bit closer to hear Martha's answer.

"They are time travelers, they take you fifty or sixty years into the past and leave you there to grow old and die of old age and you know once you have seen the gravestone you can't go back for that person or it'll cause a paradox", she said softly, she could only imagine what the Doctor might have gone through all this time thinking his two companions were dead.

"She did?", said the Doctor with a smile and tears in his eyes.

Amy nodded and River smiled reassuringly at the Doctor.

"My Raggedy Doctor", she said with a smile.

"My Amelia Pond", he said and gave her a hug as he cried silently into her shoulder.

Amy closed her eyes tightly and let the tears flow freely, when the Angel had taken her back at Manhattan she had lost all her hope to ever see the Doctor again, but yet, here she was living what she hoped beyond hope would someday happen when she lived for that short time in the 1930's Manhattan.

She and Rory had done their best to settle in and try to restart their live there, she had written the book of Melody Malone and got it published, but still felt like there was a huge piece missing in their lives.

They did miss the Doctor, yes, but they had also missed a lot their daughter River. She might have been a grown up woman but they still cared greatly about her and felt horrible that they wouldn't be able to see her again as well.

That is why the day when she opened her front door and found River Song smiling at her she thought she had just lived the happiest day in her live, both she and Rory hugged River and wouldn't let go of her till she proclaimed she had a plan.

She spend that whole night explaining every little detail of how she was going to fake their death in the future, to still keep the dates constant on the gravestones and take them back to their own time.

It took more time than they would have thought and was by far easier said than done, but at the end they had buried two empty coffins and got back to their home, their neighbors thinking they had only left for a week.

River stayed with them for almost a week, the longest she had yet stayed at a time at their home, she had promised that she would come back soon, that she only had an easy job to do on some planet called Library with her new boss, some bloke called Lux.

Yet she didn't come back.

It had been months when she reappeared in the hallway on the same day that both UNIT and Torchwood invaded their house.

Rory gave a slight cough and it brought her back from her reverie.

"Oh, Roranicus the Roman, come here", said the Doctor and Rory joined the hug.

'Together again with my boys', she thought happily and smiled trough her tears, she felt Rory take a deep breath, he was also crying out of happiness.

"So he's really a Roman?", asked Mickey softly as the Doctor and the Ponds continued to embrace each other.

"No idea", said Jack with a smile, everybody was happy to see the Doctor get reunited with his previously thought dead companions.

"So I'll take it that River isn't that bad then", said Sarah Jane softly with a smile as she watched River stand near the kitchen's archway, watching with a warm smile at the Doctor and the Ponds.

"Yeah, I'll admit to that", said Jack a bit sheepishly, he had to admit that he had actually began to like River, she was fast with the gun, witty and stood up to any opposition, he also had to add that was quite pretty.

The Doctor and the Ponds began to break free from their embrace and Jack took this as a sign to bring back in the Master.

"Now that everything has been dealt with I'll go fetch the Master", said Jack and began to walk away.

"What? Wait", said the Doctor as he broke free from the group hug and Jack stopped just where he was.

"Doctor", began Martha, her face now serious, "Could you now explain why you uncuffed the Master?"

"I know you won't believe me, but-", he took a deep breath, 'They're not going to believe me', he thought, "He has changed."

"Doctor I don't know what kind of lies did he told you, but remember what he did on the Valiant", she tried to reason with him.

"And just moment ago he was attacking her", Jack glanced at Grace.

"They were only fighting, Grace fights with him every day", he countered.

"What, wait, what do you mean every day?!", asked Jack, not sure if he had heard right.

"That's what I was trying to tell you before you rushed in", said Chang, speaking for the first time, "He comes by every day."

"You let in a murderer?!", asked Martha, horrified.

"If the Doctor says he changed then I believe him", said Amy, trusting the Doctor fully, Rory nodded in agreement.

"You don't know him", said Martha seriously.

"But I do", said Grace.

"If you knew you wouldn't have let him in", countered Jack.

"I do, when I met the Doctor he fought with the Master", said Grace.

"You couldn't have met him well enough", argued Jack.

"He snapped my neck", deadpanned Grace.

"And mine", added Chang.

"And you trust him now?", asked Sarah Jane, trying to understand what had happened between then and now.

Grace hesitated for a moment as she thought back to her previous days with the Doctor and the Master, he truly hadn't gone back to his old ways and she had to admit it, "Yes", she said finally.

Everybody turned to Chang, "Not-too much", he said.

"He changed", said the Doctor again, "You remember he always spoke about the drums?"

"Yes", nodded Jack and Martha.

"I imagine you all heard about the incident on the Naismith mansion", said the Doctor.

"Yes, the Master had come back to live, but we never found out what happened with him after that", said Martha, who had been there with UNIT after everything had happened.

"I fought with him that time", began the Doctor, "And while we fought we had a telepathic contact and-", he took a pause, "And I heard the drums, it wasn't madness that caused it."

Their eyes widened, "Then, what was it?", asked Martha before Jack could ask it.

The Doctor walked slowly to the couch and sat down, "It all began at Gallifrey", he said after a moment, "When he was eight they planted in his mind a signal, a signal that was to help get them out of the Time Lock."

"A signal in the form of the beat of a drum", said River, realizing what he was talking about.

"The Time Lords took the opportunity when the Master had dominated the earth on that occasion and send a signal to him. That was enough to open a gate between earth and Gallifrey, on the last days of the War."

"The big red planet", said Jack as he realized what had happened that day.

"Exactly, Rassilion himself stepped through the portal, he was about to destroy the whole of humanity with a terrible plan", said the Doctor, his gaze distant as he remembered that day, "They turned on the Master and he discovered they had been the ones to plant the signal in his head, he became enraged, attacked them and drove them back into the Time Lock", he remembered how he disappeared through the gate, "When he was there they removed the signal, the drumming has stopped ever since he escaped from the Time Lock and came here to San Francisco."

Jack noticed that the Doctor left out part of the story and was sure the other noticed as well, but was still surprised with what the Doctor said about the Time Lords, "They drove him insane only so they could get out of the War?"

The Doctor hesitated for a moment, "To make it short, yes."

"Doctor, you can't just expect us to accept he has changed like that", said Martha and saw his face, "I understand what you say, but you have to understand us as well", she said.

They suddenly heard a loud screeching sound come from outside, bright light shone through the windows as the screeching became louder.

The Doctor stood up, "Chang, did you notice anyone follow you?"

"No, we checked the road many times and didn't see anyone."

"They didn't follow you by road Chang", said the Doctor as the lights shone brightly through the curtains, almost blinding them.

"They followed you by air."

DUN DUN DUN!

So I finally got to explain how Amy and Rory where saved from the 1930's Manhattan, it was the 1930's, right? Because I'm not too sure :x

Point being, I hope you liked it and didn't find it too...dunno, vague or bad or something.

Next Chapter! Final Battle between Albert Brown and the Doctor (with the aid of his friends)!
