Thank you once again for reading!

Last Time...

The Doctor looked up weakly as he saw the blue sky. "I'm guessing it's New Earth." He croaked as Elizabeth ran outside and closed the door. "Lizzie-Beth? Can I have some help?" He asked weakly as the TARDIS hummed. "Oh shut up. Only you would find this funny."

"My god! This is brilliant!" Elizabeth twirled as she took in the scenery. "It looks exactly like Earth, only more advanced." She stopped and looked at the ginormous building in front of her. "Definitely more advanced." She ran down the hill and into the crowded city center. She quickly wove into the crowd as she made her way into the clearing. And tripped. She gave a small yelp in surprise as she bumped into a man with dirty blond hair.

"I'm sorry sir." The man waved his hand.

"It's okay, no harm is done." She offered her hand.

"I'm Elizabeth Wood."

The man smiled down at her. "My name, is Koschei. My, what brilliant grey eyes you have."

Elizabeth blushed. "My friend keeps mentioning them. Says grey is the colour of intellect."

Koschei laughed. "Oh really, who's this friend of yours then?"

Elizabeth smiled, trusting this man. "His name is the Doctor. Do you know him?"

Koschei grinned, showing off his white teeth. "The Doctor? Of course I know him."

Elizabeth smiled. "Well, now that we're on common ground, can you show me around? I really am starving, the Doctor ruined breakfast."

Koschei offered her his arm. "Why, of course my dear Elizabeth. It would be my honour. Elizabeth took his arm and he led the Time Lady through the crowd and off to a proper restaurant.

"Lizzie-Beth?" The Doctor called as he looked around. "Where are you?" He maneuvered around a particularly large crowd. "Lizzie-Beth!"

"I'm over here Doctor!" He saw a girl wearing a green aviator's jacket and a golden bracelet. She was sitting at a café table with-

No, it couldn't possibly be. The Master was sitting there with his future regeneration having breakfast. Was that even possible? Elizabeth stood up and shook his hand, making the Doctor wince and expect Reapers to appear. But they didn't. The Master smiled at him and proudly saluted the Doctor before disappearing into the crowd.

The Doctor casually walked up to Elizabeth. "So, anything new happen lately?"

Elizabeth smiled. "Why of course! I met this amazing bloke named Koschei. Peculiar name, though I do travel with a man called the Doctor."

'Koschei, you are officially crazy.' The Doctor thought as Elizabeth crossed her arms and tapped her foot on the ground.

"Hey, he's perfectly sane!" Elizabeth defended as the Doctor stared at her.

"Lizzie-Beth, I didn't say that out loud." Elizabeth shrugged.

"I heard you say it, and that's all that matters." Elizabeth said firmly as the Doctor smiled.

"Okay, on it then. Why did the TARDIS bring us here?" The Doctor took out his sonic screwdriver and scanned the area. "There aren't any dangers I can pick up in the area."

Elizabeth smirked. "In the area. We should split up."

The Doctor pocketed his sonic. "That's my line! And don't give me orders, I'm supposed to give the orders!"

Elizabeth flipped her hair and called over her shoulder, "Then consider this a vacation Doctor!" As she ran into the crowd.

The Doctor sighed before he caught sight of a girl with blond hair. "No...what is going on?!"

Elizabeth ran through the crowd as she narrowly dodged a crowd of kids running from something. Suddenly, terrified screams filled the air as Elizabeth shook her head.

"Really wish I had a weapon right now."

"Then how about this one?" Elizabeth turned to see Koschei standing there with a small, silver gun, complete with a trigger and screen with two buttons. It seemed to be the perfect fit for the young Time Lady. "It's a sonic gun, with over fifty different settings, including the one it's set on now." Koschei pointed at the small clock on the screen. "That means stun, making it impossible for the person you hit it with to move for an hour. The Doctor hates killing and tries to get out of situations with as few casualties as possible." Elizabeth looked down at the gift.

"Thanks-" She stopped and turned around. "Hullo? Koschei?" All that was left was screaming people. Elizabeth started running towards the source and immediately crumpled to the ground.

"Sir? The target has been acquired." He bent down and slung the Time Lady over his shoulder. "I've been waiting for this moment ever since that fateful day. Today I shall get my revenge Doctor."

Elizabeth woke up bound and gagged in a musty cell. To say she was pleased wasn't very 'spot on'. Suddenly, the doors opened, making her temporarily blind.

"Put her in the maze, I think the Cajo is hungry." Elizabeth struggled as the guards grabbed her arms. "I suggest you stop struggling or else." The man who she now identified as having a thick black coat wrapped around him took off her gag. Elizabeth felt saliva pooling in her mouth as she spit it on to her captor's face. The man reeled his hand back and smacked her. "You will learn not to disrespect me like that. Take her to the maze and set the fear setting to eight. Use the memory and paranoia button." The two men nodded swiftly as they marched off.

'Oh my god, I'm going to die! I'm stuck with these lunatics and being dragged into a maze! Oh my god, I'm going to die! Where the bloody hell is the Doctor when you need him?!' Elizabeth thought as she continued to struggle against her captors. Who immediately stopped and threw her into a hole. With two doors. And walls that are closing in.

At least she had breakfast and a total of two friends before she died.

"Take this door." Elizabeth turned and saw Koschei watching her carefully. "Other one leads to a pit with poison darts."

Elizabeth eyed him warily. "Why should I listen to you? And how on Earth did you even get down here?"

Koschei just smiled and waved before disappearing into the door he pointed to. Elizabeth ran in after him as the walls closed behind her.

"So, how did you get down here?" Elizabeth asked as Koschei walked beside her.

"Look, I know it's hard to understand, but I'm not really here. I'm with the Oods. Surely you've heard of them?" Elizabeth shook her head. "Then the Doctor is more foolish than I thought."

Elizabeth looked up to him. "So, who are you?"

Koschei looked down at her. "My name is the Master, a Time Lord who's only a month older than the Doctor. I hail from the planet Gallifrey and was his best friend. I went insane because of drumming inside my head. Did he ever tell you of this? Or about regeneration? Or that the Doctor and I are the only Time Lords in existence?"

Elizabeth shook her head. "He mentioned me being a Time Lady, and there's a drumbeat in my head as well..."

The Master looked at the girl expectantly. "Well, go on."

Elizabeth looked at him, seeing what the Doctor saw every time he looked into her eyes. Sadness, pain, and most of all, an undefined brilliance that held almost lifetimes of memories. "You're me, aren't you?"

The Master smiled. "Yes, I am. Though I'm sad to say that you're my tenth regeneration (Changed it a bit, don't want Lizzie dying too soon), meaning you only got two more chances before you die."

Elizabeth looked up at him. "If you don't mind me asking, how did I die before?"

The Master just glanced at her sadly. "You died a hero, using your life force to protect the Doctor and saved Earth from being destroyed and turning into hell."

Elizabeth seemed unfazed. "I didn't do any of that. You did."

The Master stopped her. "Of course you did. You were created in our consciousness long ago, and you were the humane part of us. You were the one that used her abilities to adjust to different situations. And you could do it now, Elizabeth. You are the Leader now, the true Master."

Elizabeth made a small hum in the back of her neck. "I like being called the Leader, though I prefer Master." She glanced up at Koschei. "It reminds me more of the Hero that saved the Doctor."

Koschei smiled. "Well, what are you waiting for Master?" He gestured for Elizabeth to go first. "We're waiting for you to lead."

"Lizzie-Beth?" The Doctor called as he looked around feverishly for the young Time Lady.

"He's not here." The Doctor stiffened.

"You can't be here, you're in a different dimension. With Ten-Two."

The blond girl smiled. "My Doctor, always resorting to the most obvious explanation."

The Doctor still refused to turn. "It's the only explanation."

The girl hopped off the box and touched his shoulder. "Ten-Two and I fell through a dimensional fissure, and ended up with the Oods. We are with a man called the Master. I'm guessing Elizabeth is his regeneration. I didn't know you could change genders."

"We could. And why did you call Lizzie a 'he'?" The Doctor turned around, yanking down the hood of her jacket. Rose Tyler's brownish-gold eyes stared back at his.

"The Master has accepted her true identity. She is the Leader of Hope." Rose said as her eyes glowed gold before fading. "Blast! I thought I had her under control."

The Doctor stared at Rose for a second. "Bad Wolf tendencies?"

Rose groaned. "You have no idea."

Please review!

Edit: Oh my god, thank you Extended Experience for pointing that typo out. I'm publishing the backstory for Elizabeth either later today or tommorow, so keep an eye out. PS, I may not update for a bit since it's the end of school and they are piling homework on us. Literally, I have a stack of paper as high as the Big Ben.
