After rescuing Melody Pond at Demons Run, they helped bringing her up as a baby then a child and she stayed with them until the end of her first regeneration. Her parents had asked her to keep a diary of wherever she went when they retired from traveling in the TARDIS, they wanted her to see the universe on her own not with her godfather stroke big brother or her uncles, the Master and Doctor explained that she would have to keep a diary of everywhere she went and did with them because as Time travellers she had seen it could be hard to work out where they were all up to. As promised Harry had given her USAT a Universal Small Accessible Timeship once they all decided she was old enough although no one ever made a play to turn Melody into a killer again and she got a lot of use out of it.
The three Time Lords carried on traveling even Sirius joined them for ten years traveling with them and the Ponds until he settled down on Floxum and passed away there. the same with Amy and Rory once they decided to stop traveling with them, they also settled down on Floxum the holiday planet that the Master protected, and they were all three given the best care they could possibly be offered by a high society world living in the Masters apartment that he had on the planet.
Once Rory and Amy died Melody decided she wanted to do a degree in archaeology even though she could visit any Time or place she liked with USAT she wanted to be able to see what was true and what wasn't she eventually became Professor River Song after hearing all of the tales of how they had saved here and met her as Professor River Song at Demons Run and how her life would have played out if not for Harry being told how to save her by his Father, first she had to get her Degree then her Doctorate and then her Professorship.
Professor River Song carried on traveling through Time and space until she reached her third regeneration. They had ended up losing her as Harry's Father said after the Time War incident. They only saw her once more when they took her to Darillium and to see the Singing Towers and that was the end for them and her she would only see them once more. It took them a long time to get over that loss, Harry had taken a month to start to talk again to the Master and then two weeks more before he would talk to the Doctor out loud and then three months later, they ended up meeting Melody Song Pond River for the final time. It hurt Harry to see her leave them even if they spent another twenty four years with her before they left all three of them seemed to become more depressed as the time moved on, on Durillium.
As the final few nights came to an end neither Harry or the Doctor could look Melody Pond in the face without tears falling down their face that they quickly wiped away hoping that she didn't see them, but even the Master had teers in his eyes those last few nights as he tried to stay strong for Harry as he knew how much it would hurt him to lose Melody Pond or River Song his goddaughter after already losing one godson that he had never been even allowed to see and help raise, but as Harry had said so long ago Melody Pond couldn't see Time and all of its permutations and so didn't know what was going on and why all three were so upset even asking them they wouldn't tell her. She gave USAT back to Harry knowing something was going on. There had been tales told in whispers and legends about River Song together with her godfather and uncles as well as the fact her diary was nearly full and none of the three of them would tell her why it was that way, but she knew that as time travellers they would have a very good idea of how big the diary would need to be before she ended up passing onto the afterlife joining up with her parents and even Sirius.
Melody Pond returned USAT as there really was no longer a need for it, she had a Vortex Manipulator she could use if she needed to move around in Time and those that had split off from the mainframe to try and kill the Doctor had never come after her. The three of them had presented her with her own sonic screwdriver they said if she was returning USAT then she deserved a proper sonic device after seeing she didn't have one so they had made her one for Christmas day as a present and told her that it would help her out if needed and then took the time to show her how to work everything on it, never telling her the real reason for giving it to her or the fact that it had a neural recorder built into it so that it would take a recording of her mind.
It had taken them quite a while to mourn her loss after she left them when the evening on Durillium had come to an end, twenty four years later. Those times on the planet were peaceful but upsetting all three could see the timeline and River Son leaving them and it would be the final time they would ever see her and know exactly who she was to them she would have to use the family secret just to get the Doctor and the Master to trust her the next time they saw he when Harry was just a child.
Even a thousand years later after losing Melody Song Pond River they had, had only a few companions over the years the latest one they picked up was a girl called Samantha Brown, but she preferred Sam. Harry had carried on seeing his godfather throughout his life and had been there for the death of him carrying out his last wish that his ashes were spread throughout Space over the Earth that he had lived on until they had, had to move him off it. They lost Amy and Rory to death even before him and a bit like Sirius they wanted their ashes spread throughout Space but also throughout Time as well as they had travelled in it so much going to different places and times, so they used the Time Vortex and let the ashes be spread as they travelled through it. Then they lost River Song or Melody Pond and couldn't get back into it to retrieve it as there were the Vashta Nerada swarming the place it would mean Harry having to kill them all off, for them to get to the planets core and main computer system where she had used her own brain capacity to download all the people trapped in the memory core of the main computer storing all the books that the library had in digital format as well as Charlot Abigale Lux's conscience as well as the four thousand and twenty two people.
Harry couldn't bring Melody Song Pond River back to life though which upset him they had only uplinked her consciousness to the computer not her soul as well and he would need that to give her new life, but once it had passed onto the beyond all that would have returned would have been an inferius. Even if Harry had pumped life into the body using the element life, she would never have been the same so it had been decided that they would honour her, mourn her like they did her parents and Sirius then they would carry on with their own lives, but never forget her or the others that were family to them.
Sometimes immortality was just watching good people they loved or cared about die as they carried on living and unfortunately, they would live for a very long time none of them could die the way DEATH had ensured the Masters and the Doctors souls would come to Harry if their body was ever destroyed or killed and Harry was the SON of DEATH and he like his Father would always live on. Even though they had mourned all their losses to those they considered family they still only occasionally picked up companions, it was more like when Harry had been growing up after Donna Noble had lost all her memories there was massive gaps in time where they just travelled as a family of three. At other times either one of them or all of them would come across someone so unique that they couldn't help but invite them to join them if they wanted to see all of Time and Space.
The latest companion the three of them were traveling with was a late teenage girl they had picked up and helped out while looking into a problem for U.N.I.T on Earth, but girl was the wrong word now. They had been traveling throughout Time and Space in the TARDIS seeing all the wonderful things there were as well as doing what the TARDIS wanted them to do during that time for about eight years, even though it had only been just over three years in the Earths timeline.
Sam had a home on Earth where they had picked her up from in two thousand and thirty seven, in a small village in Devon and she stayed there when going home for occasions, while they stayed on the TARDIS and continued to travel or even stayed with her for a few days, parking the TARDIS in her back garden and living out of it while Sam stayed in the house. Sam was lucky that the house had been inherited off her parents and she had been left with a lot of money to take care of everything including the bills and buying anything she needed for a long time even though she had a good education up to her A levels she had intended to go onto university until she had met them and they had offered for her to travel with them. They told her that she could take a few years to decide what to do and then go to university to get a degree which was really needed now to gain a job that earnt proper money.
Although she wasn't lacking in that department it was a massive six bedroom cottage with plenty of space and garden around it her parents had been well off and well respected with very good jobs themselves as barristers, but they had unfortunately died in a car crash so not only did she have the money that they had saved but also their insurance pay out from both the car insurance and their private insurance as well as the payout that her parents private pensions paid after they had died as well as what both her parents had in the bank at the time, but she didn't want to do nothing with her life as she knew she wouldn't always be traveling with them. The money also allowed her to buy food for while she was there usually taking Harry with her to the supermarket so that he could stock the TARDIS up on food and drinks while she bought what she needed for the house while helping him with the amount of shopping needed for four on the TARDIS for a while at a time, especially as the nearest supermarket to her house was half an hour away and she had to drive them there as the CCTV network covered all around the supermarket so Harry couldn't just teleport them, apparate them or even use SATURN to get them there and back.
She only had aunts and uncles and cousins left alive and stayed in contact with them all as they all lived near to her although not in the same village as she did as her house was not near others. At that particular moment she was at home for Christmas twenty forty one with some of her extended family that had come to stay with her over the last few days to spend Christmas day with her, something the three Time Lords were also going to be doing this was the second year that they had spent Christmas day at her house.
While Sam was making preparations for the Christmas meal that they were all invited to, the Master, the Doctor and Harry had decided to carry on traveling for the few days before Christmas day as they really didn't celebrate it other than when they had a human companion with them and they had picked up a signal going through Time and Space which the TARDIS couldn't translate. It was too garbled for them to run it through the TARDIS translation matrix, no matter what they all tried. They had seen in the timeline that the Mainframe and the Mother Superious herself had quarantined the planet with the actual space church placing a shield around the planet, so they decided to go and explain everything to Sam after sending off a message asking for an appointment.
Harry was worried about the signal, but they had changed the timeline so much that he was eighty five percent sure they couldn't be going to Trenzalor especially as the TARDIS couldn't tell them what the planet was called after Harry had adjusted everything on the new console unit including running it through different programs he wrote quickly into the console unit specifically for this reason to find out just what the planet was called as it had no name. However, it was blue with white intermixed and two asteroid rings around it with the three moons set in a stable orbit from what they could see.
The Doctor had used a cyberman head without the organic components that eventually announced that the name of the planet was Gallifrey, when Harry had seen something similar in the Doctors timeline, when his Father had shown him this happening to the Doctor before they came into his life, but even if the Deity TIME had saved Gallifrey. The Gallifreyans were all confined to the planet, without the ability to regenerate, stuck in a side dimension that they couldn't breach to get back into their universe. They were also frozen in a single second of Time, with only their minds working so they could ascend to join up with their cousins the Magical Time Lords and Ladies in this universe rather than the dimension that they may have been saved in if that was what they wanted, even if they would be on a lower plane.
Harry was writing program after program trying to get the name of the planet that the signal was coming from, even going so far as to write a program to mimic the processing power and signal carriers of a cyberman only a much faster and more powerful one compared to the one that the Doctor had hooked up to the console unit in the old timeline. The TARDIS still couldn't name the planet. The Master and the Doctor wanted to know why he wanted to find out the name of the planet that he was writing all different programs for it, something he had never done before especially at the speed he was doing it, but Harry just said something didn't seem right, using the Doctors rule number one while he kept the bond blank. So that they didn't pick up on his worry, but no matter what he did there was no name forthcoming for the planet, so he let it go after four hours of trying.
The three of them decided that they would investigate the signal it was going through both Time and Space, something that was not easy to do, the three of them had only seen it being done once before and that was when Harriet Jones, Torchwood, Martha Jones and Sarah Jane Smith had used the subwave network, to send a signal out from Earth using all the power of the Time Space rift in Cardiff that they picked up through Martha Jones' mobile telephone that was connected up to the TARDIS. The signal from that had travelled a second into the past it might not seem a long time but only using the telephones that were on Earth and the power of the Space and Time rift to send a signal out through the Madusa Cascade into the rest of the universe a second into the past was still impressive for that time period.
They decided to see if Sam wanted to come with them and check it out as it should prove very interesting, on their way to get her after they had asked for the appointment with the Mother Superious and Harry had decided to give up on finding out what the planet was called the three of them all went and got ready for the meeting with the church something they knew would be allowed because of the Doctor having previous dealings Tasha Lem the Mother Superious so the Master and the Doctor had gone to their bedroom stripped down to nothing then using a pill had used their sonic screwdrivers on themselves to make it look like they were wearing clothes just before they arrived they sent Harry to do the same and he came back into the control room as soon as he had stripped down and taken the pill himself using his own sonic screwdriver to make it look like he was wearing clothes.
The TARDIS arrived in Sam's back garden although they didn't need to get Sam, she came out of the back kitchen door to them in the TARDIS but realised something was wrong as all three were on the other side of the console unit and the Doctor pointed his screwdriver at them, before they came around the console unit so that she could see them, but the clothes they were wearing didn't look as they normally would.
"What's going on?" She asked to the three of them seeing what they looked like even though they were dressed something was off and she noticed as soon as she had entered.
"There is a signal going out to every race in the universe throughout both Time and Space, the church has beaten us to the planet and quarantined it with their actual church Mainframe they have shielded it that well even we can't get through it with the TARDIS no matter what we try! We want permission to go down to the planet to find the origin of the signal and find out what's going on as we can't decode it. The problem is the church, you have to appear naked in front of them, we are wearing holograms of our clothes to hide the fact we are all naked." The Doctor explained to Sam.
"All three of you are naked covered up by the Arbitrator I presume?" Sam asked just for clarification.
"No, it's the TARDIS and a pill doing it for us not me! That is why the Doctor pointed his screwdriver at us before we came around the console unit otherwise you would have seen us naked, but every time we meet someone new, we have to use our sonic screwdrivers on ourselves so they all see the clothes, or we would all appear naked before them. If I clothed us all, they would see the clothes on us, even I can only project an image to cover us up and it wouldn't be like the TARDIS is doing for us, I would have to power the image constantly with my Magical core as we moved so the clothes moved with us. One small discrepancy and they would see us naked even if I used True Magic to do it rather than Linguistic Science, but it would be very disrespectful to the church to go dressed which is how they would see us doing it that way so it's just easier to do it this way being naked and allowing you to see the holographic clothes using the pill and our sonic screwdrivers." Harry explained to her.
"Right and you want me to come with you on Christmas day while I have all my family in the house, and we are all meant to be eating Christmas dinner the four of us and all of them in an hour and on top of that I need to be naked to go to this planet that you want me to look at with you because of a signal?" Sam asked incredulously.
"Yes it should be very interesting to see just what it is, the Doctor will go and explain to your family that you have forgotten the stuffing so that means you both now need to pop out to find somewhere open that will sell it so that you don't ruin the Christmas dinner you are cooking, but that you will only be gone for half an hour and then you will be back here with us as well, we will pretend that we arrived a few minutes later than you. As its eleven o'clock now and you said eleven thirty for the three of us, but the Doctor came on a head of us, as you normally do, call him John not the Doctor or they will wonder why we have funny names like we always do when we come for a meal at yours and meet your family." Harry explained to her.
"We'll have plenty of time to look into just what is going on, on the planet and see why there is a signal doing this, then we will bring you back as I said in half an hour and you and Pere can say you couldn't find the stuffing, then dad and I will follow along a few minutes later and be at your front door for eleven thirty five with the needed stuffing that you two couldn't find but we did, we will use the Time Vortex to go to the Church Mainframe and speak to the Mother Superious and see if she will teleport us through the shield that they have around the planet, so we can go down to it to find out exactly what is going on and return you in half an hour and I will pilot so we don't end up here in June next year, that way none of us will end up missing Christmas dinner with your family." Harry finished his explanation of the plan to Sam.
"Okay! An adventure on Christmas day while being naked! Why not? Come on Doctor, you've met them all before just say you came in the back way!" Sam eventually replied and them spoke to the Doctor.
Sam and the Doctor left the TARDIS to go and talk to her family and lie to them about the stuffing, it didn't go according to plan Sam could see the clothes on the Doctor as he had used his screwdriver for her to see him dressed, but the rest of her family saw him naked, her aunt got in trouble off her uncle for staring in appreciation as she was only in her forties. The others were slightly worried about his mental health eventually Sam worked it out and the Doctor quickly used his sonic screwdriver so that the rest of Sam's family saw the illusion of him wearing clothes instead of him appearing naked.
Sam dragged him off into the kitchen to have a go at him and to check on the turkey, after having a go at the Doctor and checking the turkey she excused herself from her family and told them she would be back in half an hour the turkey would be done by twelve so they could sit down to Christmas dinner but she had to sort the stuffing out as she had forgotten it with all the other shopping she had done and she also needed to get 'John' to wear some proper clothes instead of him messing around with holographic ones as he was testing a new prototype of clothing ability for nudists so not to embarrass others then they would be back with two more guests 'John's' husband 'Harold' and their son 'Hayden' that they had all met before when they came for Christmas last year and met them all then as well as coming for her birthday this year. Sam and the Doctor quicky left her house through the back door to join the other two in the TARDIS only to find both the Master and Harry in stitches holding onto each other Harry had tears rolling down his face he was laughing that much.
After both Harry and the Master calmed down, Harry explained to Sam they had both seen the Doctor naked and her family's reaction to it through the timeline and they found it hilarious, especially her aunt's reaction to seeing the Doctor naked! After they had finished embarrassing the Doctor, they were off to the planet waiting for an invitation to go aboard the Churches Mainframe and speak to Tasha Lem. Soon Sam was ready to go herself she had gone into her room to change and take the pill, so the three Time Lords saw her as though she was dressed once the Doctor pointed his sonic screwdriver at her so that they saw clothes. While she was doing that Harry had looked out of the TARDIS doors to see the planet it was blue with white interspersed in it with three moon this made Harry feel worried, but he didn't say anything the timeline had to have changed with the agreement over Gallifrey, there was no way this planet was Trenzalor.
They continued to wait in space, with a lot of the other races in their own spaceships that were major powers in the universe all around the TARDIS, they were wating for the Mother Superious to agree to the meet them checking everything with Harry doing even more with the console unit to try and get a name for the planet and a translation of the message being projected from the planet below them, but still none of them could understand the message it was still to garbled going through the TARDIS translation matrix this made him less worried as when he had seen this before when his Father had shown him the Doctors life without the Master and him in it. The head of the cyberman could at least name the planet and once the signal was heard and deciphered what it was asking and the algorithm he had wrote was better than a cyberman, but still held the principles of one.
Being unable to understand something had only happened once before with the TARDIS when the Doctor couldn't read the translation of the supposed Devil so it should prove really interesting especially as they couldn't even get the name for the planet no matter what Harry did or what programs he wrote, and the console unit was up to full speck and as good as a brand new one. Harry was still eighty five percent sure it wasn't the Time Lords and Ladies as well as the rest of the occupants on Gallifrey they had to be either held in a side dimension frozen in a single moment in Time or just in The Moment as they were originally, although the planet was the same one he had seen and was surrounded by about fifty different races that were space capable and able to get there either by traveling in Time themselves or picking it up in that time period.
Each race that was a major power in the universe had at least one ship there, other races had a few ships there. Harry wasn't happy to see both daleks and cybermen there as well as some as the other races that were in attendance, it was like the Pandorica all over again all the major powers in the universe as well as some others seemed to be here for the signal. Yet if the TARDIS couldn't translate it neither should anyone else be able to even the cybermen as his algorithm was better than them and no matter what was said the translation matrix on the TARDIS was the best in the universe and Harry had written every program he could think of, to try and get just a name for the planet and couldn't never mind the signal.
Even while they waited Harry continued to mess around on the console unit trying to find out anything to do with the name of the planet or what the signal was saying, but he still couldn't get any information whatsoever. Harry was half tempted to break through the encryption on the Mainframe now that they were in close proximity to it and would be there until they were given an audience with the Mother Superious, to see what the Church knew, but didn't want to be caught and refused an audience, with it being their shield that blockaded the planet especially as they couldn't get the TARDIS through the shield no matter what Harry, the Master or the Doctor tried.
Finally, after an hour of waiting and messing around on the console unit that didn't help them one bit they were invited over. They used the TARDIS to get there then all walked out of her as they had no other ship to go across in, their illusions were only connected to each other everyone else around them could see they were naked.
"I don't feel like I'm wearing anything." Sam said quietly to the other three feeling weird.
"You're not, that's what the pill and the setting on our sonic screwdrivers is for! Everyone but us can see you naked, just don't get embarrassed or they will see all of you turn red!" Harry quietly replied with a chuckle as they walked up the middle of the red carpet with soldiers on either side of them.
Even as an adult Harry still looked only around twenty he always tried to regenerate at that age so his dads looked old enough for him to call them that, he had long slightly curly black hair tucked behind his ears making it look messy but styled, very dark green eyes with a very tiny spark of bright white light like looking at a star up close in the middle of his iris and he was about five foot eleven in hight. Harry always remained the youngest out of the three of them, he had on a pair of black jeans with boot legs on them and black ancle boots coved over by the jeans then he had a dark black silk shirt the top button unbuttoned, a black wife beaters t-shirt underneath the shirt that could just be seen at the collar and the shirts cuffs had silver cufflinks holding them together with the infinity sign on them rather than buttons. All three of them were different now having gone through regenerations Harry had had this body for about seven hundred and fifty physical years now.
The Doctor had only changed when he was punished over Harry having to get involved in the Time War, so he had the same body for one thousand years not including time in the Time Vortex. He was still on his fourteenth regeneration, if you counted the hand, looking like Quintus from Pompeii with long black hair and thin swimmers build dressed the same way that he had from the Time War fiasco in a white shirt with rolled up sleaves a back waistcoat black trousers and black boots also coved over by the trousers with a gold pocket watch going from one side of the black buttoned waistcoat to the other Luckly he had not aged a day since the regeneration.
The Master had regenerated about four hundred physical years ago and now had dirty blond hair that was short and messed up to give it a style. He looked around thirty five to forty years old like the Doctor did, he also had not aged after he had had to regenerate. He still insisted on wearing a three piece suit, but this one was a dark blue one with a white shirt and dark blue tie to go with his suit and black polished shoes he also wore a dark blue long coat and black gloves when he needed to. No matter what he looked like after a regeneration he always seemed to dress in suits and look immaculate. In all the time Harry had known them none of them had regenerated into a female, Harry hoped it never happened to him, but didn't actually think it was possible because he might be in a Magical Time Lords body, but he was still the SON of DEATH not HIS daughter.
"What is this place?" Sam asked them as they all continued to walk through the parade of soldiers on both sides of them.
"The Church of the Mainframe, Security hub of the known universe." The Master explained quietly to her.
"A church that is more interested in security than Faith? Seriously?" Sam asked back incredulously as they neared as set of steps with Tasha Lem on the dais they led to at the front with a soldier just behind her to her right and soldiers lined up behind them both as well as the line on either side of the four of them that they had walked past.
"Yep. Keeping you safe in this life and the next. We venerate the exaltation of the Mother Superious." The Doctor said, then the Master and the Doctor bowed and Sam who followed their lead curtsied however Harry wouldn't bow he would only bow properly to his dads and his Father even the Deity TIME and the Deity LIFE only got a head nod off him as his Father had often told him he was above all others, they were spoken to by a soldier to the side of the Mother Superious.
"Welcome to the Church of the Papal Mainframe. Your nudity is appreciated when entering the church however it is considered polite to bow to the mother Superious when in her auspice company." He spoke to the four.
"Hey, babes. Is that a new body? I've never seen you like this." Tasha Lem the Mother Superious said to the Doctor.
"Tash, this? Please! I've been like this for ages I still look good, don't I? Anyway, allow me to introduce the others and our friend, the Master, the Arbitrator who will only bow to those he considers are above him hence him not bowing to you sorry and Sam." The Doctor asked then explained back to her pointing the others out to Tasha Lem.
"Nice look for you though. How long have you been like this then? Ages to you could be millennia for us." Tasha Lem asked then explained to the Doctor.
"So, er, hello. Also, here. I'm Sam the friend." Sam explained and then waved at Tasha Lem feeling left out being completely ignored, both the Master and Harry knew they would be, the Doctor and Tasha Lem had a history and knew each other she was very old even though she didn't look it.
"Sam, this is Tasha Lem, the Head of the Church of the Papal Mainframe. Tash, this is Samantha Brown, but she prefers Sam." The Doctor introduced Sam again to Tasha Lem.
"We'll go to my chapel…. All honours in place, no sacrifices required." Tasha Lem announced after looking at the four. The first was said so only to the four in front of her and the soldiers around her could hear, the rest she said so all in the mainframe could hear her as she raised her hands up into the air. The four of them followed her along a corridor as the Doctor explained to Sam what was going on.
"It was Tasha who shielded the planet that we want to go down to, as I said the shields is too powerful, so we needed to speak to Tasha. But you could get us down there, couldn't you, Tash? There must be a way for you to get through your own shield even if it's impressive, you have certainly upgraded your security since the last time I saw you! Can you get us down there for us to see what is going on?" The Doctor explained to Sam and then asked Tasha Lem about going down to the plant.
The Doctor was right about the impressiveness of the shield there was no way to bypass it, they couldn't even bring the TARDIS through the shield once they were on the other side of it this was another reason Harry had decided to let his dads investigate the signal in the old timeline the Doctor had been able to summon the TARDIS after he was past the shield, but the shield the Papal Mainframe had around this planet was just too strong for them to do that. Even with all the improvements that Harry had done to the TARDIS since he started to work on her when he was still a very young tot and had to go through the engineering course as part of his grounding. Having now built a full Magical Organic Reality Traveling Time ship he knew the TARDIS was as good as the ones that were up to full speck in the Time War and those were all the latest models that the Time Lords and Ladies could build.
"I would have conditions. I have confidential matters to discuss with the Doctor. Would you excuse us?" Tasha Lem spoke the first to the Doctor and then the latter to the Master, Harry and Sam.
"Tasha I would prefer the Master and the Arbitrator to be with us when we talk, but Sam will wait out here for us until we can reach an agreement." The Doctor spoke.
"Doctor, do you really want to discuss matters about what has happened in the past between us with others around instead of in private?" Tasha Lem asked the Doctor in a suggestive voice.
Suddenly Null was in front of his Father and so he gave HIM a hug and DEATH hugged him back.
"Hello Father, what is wrong? You look worried and angry." Null asked then explained looking at his Father's face, it looked worried as well as angry over something.
"You need to use the passphrase through the bond, then get all three of you dressed immediately in the same clothes that Koschei is wearing and out of there use the bond and refute you are Time Lords you are all emissaries for ME now, Theta and Koschei have to say they are out loud in front of Tasha Lem, ask her if she has a clear recording of the noise not signal call it a noise and then hear it and leave. As soon as the TARDIS is out of the Mainframe and in space bring both Koschei and Theta here immediately and wait for me. Go you shimmered here so nothing will be noticed other than by both Koschei and Theta but hurry." DEATH explained to Null quickly with a bit of anger in his voice.
"Okay Father. Is there a reason?" Null asked back noticing the anger in his Fathers voice and how quickly his Father had talked.
"Yes, I will speak to you all together though, hear the noise announce you are emissaries for ME to Tasha Lem and get out of there quickly do not go to the planet no matter what. As I said get out of there after you all announce you are emissaries for ME and bring both Theta and Koschei here immediately, there is trouble with reality Null, now go." DEATH explained further to Null still with a hint of anger in his voice, but just as quickly as before and Null was returned to the universe.
Harry was back with the Master and the Doctor they had both noticed him blipping as his dads called it. He sent over the bond the passphrase and that there was something very wrong and to follow his lead and call the signal a noise from now on. He immediately clothed them all with a quick movement of his hand flicking at everyone, so the Doctor and Harry along with the Master were all dressed after he had also cancelled the pill out, so the pills no longer worked and the three of them were dressed the same as the Master was now. A dark blue suit with a white shirt, a dark blue tie and black shoes although he also had to quickly alter them for the different sizes the Doctor and he were, as the suits were too big on them. He dressed Sam in the same clothes to how she looked using True Magic again and stopped the pill working on her as well.
"Mother Superious there has been a misunderstanding that we need to clear up the Doctor and the Master are no longer who you think they are, they are not Lords of Time any longer. I know you have a history with the Doctor and you will have heard of the Master, but all three of us are emissaries for Lord DEATH bar Miss. Brown who used to travel with the Doctor and the Master when they were both Lords of Time unfortunately they had to leave her in a hurry when a matter came up they had to deal with and they have not seen her since then as they came to work For Lord DEATH as Emissaries for HIM and joined myself who was already an emissary for Lord DEATH it is the reason I did not bow to you, as an emissary only the other Deities in reality are above us." Harry started to explain lying about everything.
"As we are back in the Doctors and the Masters old universe Lord DEATH agreed that the Doctor and the Master could spend some time with Miss. Brown to let her know what happened and why they haven't been in touch with her since and to also find out what she has been doing with her life. I would imagine you have questions over this misconception, we look after and monitor all the universes throughout the whole of reality on a massive scale for Lord DEATH. We don't even spend our time in this universe. This is the first time I have ever been in it although I would imagine as it is only the fifty first century the Doctors and the Masters old incarnations are still around, but they have been emissaries for Lord DEATH for over a million years in their timeline since they ran out of regenerations." Harry continued to explain to Tasha Lem still lying about everything.
"There is the whole of reality that we have to deal with there is over a trillion mainline universes that we monitor ensuring things run in them as Lord DEATH wants them to run as well as the universes around them and other universes that have branched off the mainline universe which is another billion universes per mainline universe doing as we are told to do by Lord DEATH and that is the reason we are here. Anyway, let us continue into your quarters Mother Superious, we have matters to discuss which as you said are probably best done in private anyway, but it would be better if all three of us could talk to you together which is why the Doctor wants both the Master and I with him while we discuss what we would like your help with." Harry finished lying and then requested they talk in private to Tasha Lem, Harry then turned to Sam.
"You will be fine Miss. Brown just wait out here. If you see an alien and forget about them then see them again don't worry and don't panic over them, I believe they are called confessionals in this universe, they ask you to confess your sins for them to help lift the burdens of your soul. I do not think we will be long with the Mother Superious sorting the problem we have out. So as I said to you when the Doctor and the Master asked for some time with you, and we picked you up, you can have some more time to continue talking with them as promised one way or the other. Either by accompanying us to the planet or by spending it in Everywhere in the rest area while I report our findings and receive our next instructions off Lord DEATH from the plane of the emissaries if it is not what HE thinks it is! If it is the problem that Lord DEATH sent us here to sort out then you will be able to continue to fill the Doctor and the Master in from where you were up to before we came to see the Mother Superious while we will drop you off back on your planet before leaving this universe again that will restrict you to an hour as you know that was how long it took for us to collect you and come here." Harry spoke to Sam.
Harry was looking at her and sent a telepathic message to Sam 'you must go along with anything we say from now on. It is imperative, we are in great danger and need to leave urgently!' Giving Sam a look to show he was serious. The three Time Lords then followed Tasha Lem into her quarters and the door was shut on them and they were led over to an alter that could have been a bed or a bed that could have been an alter instead.
"Mother Superious we are here first of all to see if you have a clean and accurate recording of the noise being sent out from behind your shield that comes directly from the planet? Your shield is far too strong for us to get a clear recording of what is being projected for us to process what the noise is, we can't accurately analyse the noise through Everywhere the name of our ship and please don't ask, the Doctor likes the police box configuration that our ship can take and with us being back in his and the Masters original universe we agreed to that configuration! It is better than her normal configuration with all the other races around you, it would scare them and have them leaving quicker than detecting the local sun had gone supernova. It is a ship designed to travel through reality and deal with a universe on a massive scale, even able to remove a universe from reality by destroying it putting everything within the universe to death. I'm sure you can imagine that takes a lot of energy and the ship is massive and deadly in that configuration, luckily, we can get her to take any configuration. Hopefully the configuration needed to put a universe to death will not have to be seen by anyone here, but Lord DEATH wants this matter solving quickly and we need to hear just what that noise being projected is and then analyse it. Do you happen to have a clear recording of it?" Harry explained very seriously to Tasha Lem completely lying to her about parts of what he was saying as well as asking to hear the recording.
"Yes here." Tasha Lem told them playing the message.
"It's been transmitting through all of Time and space, what did it make you feel?" Tasha Lem asked them about the feelings it gave off once they had heard it.
"I presume you picked up on the feeling of dread coming through with the noise. Have any of your soldiers been down to look at where the noise is coming from?" The Master asked,the three of them didn't feel that at all. Although Harry felt like all the blood was draining out of his face, he kept the bond blank. They all knew what Tash was going to say and so the Master beat her to it as though they knew also and asked about other finding out where the signal originated, backing his son up especially as they all felt nothing from the signal.
"Yes, I am, all those that hear it feel pure unadulterated dread at hearing the signal. As to investigating the signal no, no one from the church has been to the surface as soon as we got here, we quarantined it with our shield to stop others going down to the surface or there will be bloodshed." Tasha Lem answered the Master. Harry put his hand in one of the inside pockets that he had on which used to be the Master suit now shrunk to fit him and finding a pen altered it using true Magic so that it looked like a small, thin and rectangular device with a light at the top. Pulling it out Harry spoke.
"Mother Superior, it is not a signal as you would understand it, it is a noise one we are all very familiar with, could you play it one more time for us while I record it?" Harry explained then asked not that he needed to hear it, but he held up what he had just created and passed through the bond to his dads that they were to count the beats and then announce themselves as emissaries for his Father.
"Yes here." Tasha Lem replied a played it again.
"Three beats modulating constantly from the planet, it is not a signal at all as I said, it is as Lord DEATH thought, luckily for us it's not a parallel word, but a cluster world and it is one of the ones closest to this timeframe which is the fifty first century that will narrow it down for us I have a clean copy of the noise now. Everywhere will be able to pinpoint the exact universe it is coming from for us, and we can stop it. We will need to go outside of reality to find it though." Harry announced lying through his teeth looking first at the Master then at the Doctor placing the device back in the pocket he had created it in.
"Where's is that noise coming from on the planet?" The Doctor asked getting as much information as he could so they could get out of there he knew his son hadn't recorded the signal which meant that he knew more than them and so they would take their lead from him.
"It's a settlement. Human colony, level two. A farm, basically." Tasha Lem expanded to them all in a condescending voice.
"Has anyone from the other ships that are around this planet been near to the signal before you shielded it?" The Master asked next.
"No, any one ship lands, the rest will follow. Fortunately, we got here first and shielded the planet as I said we don't want the races attacking the planet. We maintain the truce between all of the different races and their ships by blocking all of them from getting at the planet with our shield." Tasha Lem replied.
"How powerful is your shield and how long have you had it quarantined for?" the Master asked next.
"Powerful enough to keep most of the other races from getting to the planet even if they tried all at once and we've been here for just over a week and none have made a run at it." Tasha Lem explained.
"Do you have a count of the number of people on the planet?" The Doctor asked next.
"No." Tasha Lem answered honestly.
"Mother Superious thank you for your help, but we need to leave now. Lord DEATH is correct in what HE thought was going on. As you have been told already, we are all emissaries for Lord DEATH, we can't move in Time and when this started according to you, we were dealing with something else in another universe for Lord DEATH hence us needing to speak to you and hear what that noise was as it was not coming through properly to our ship, so we didn't know what it was for certain. However, now we do, we must deal with it, or we risk losing this universe, our duties take us to all the different universes in reality we visit parallel universes and cluster universes as well as mainline universe which the other two types of universes connect to." The Master explained to Tasha Lem backing his son up and lying through his teeth about what was going on taking his lead from him.
"All of the universes in reality are monitored by the three of us as explained to you there is at least a trillion mainline universes, and another billion universes connected to those universes that we have to ensure run correctly. Before we could enter this universe and investigate this problem, we were in a different universe looking into another matter for Lord DEATH to prevent the collapse of the mainline universe that was in a different part of reality. It would have caused around another billion universes to end up being destroyed if we hadn't manged to prevent the universal incursion to that mainline universe and the same thing is happening here. This universe is a mainline universe and there is a universal incursion happening as we speak. It has broken through into this universe already starting with the planet that you have your shield around. We are going to have to destroy the other universe and hopefully seal the breach from the other universe or we will have to come back again." the Master told Tasha Lem still lying to her backing his son up, but he knew he needed to continue so that he could announce he worked for DEATH
"If we do come back then we will need to destroy the planet below us to stop the breach we will need your help in getting everyone on that planet off it. The Doctor and I use to work for the Deity TIME in this universe as Lords of Time just as the Arbitrator explained it was how you know the Doctor, through the work we both did for HER and I'm sure you have heard about me. However, over a million years ago to us, we became emissaries for Lord DEATH who is also a Deity. We kept our original names of the Doctor and the Master as at the time we had had them for such a long period in our lives but when we were both on our last regenerations and were killed Lord DEATH took us into HIS service providing the both of us with an indestructible body each so we could continue living and work for HIM." the Master explained still lying about everything he was saying but backing his son up as he had given them the passphrase
"All Lord DEATH ever calls us is emissary, so we have names for ourselves as the three of us work together. It makes it easier to know who is speaking to the other with us being a group of three. Normally emissaries work alone in a single mainline universe or in all the universes connected to a mainline universe as well, but they don't do what we do! As has been said I am now an emissary for Lord DEATH, but we ensure entire universes aren't destroyed causing too much death happening throughout any universe in reality. Doing as we are told to do by Lord DEATH and that is what is going on here if we can't get to the other universe in time this one will be destroyed taking another billion universes with it." The Master explained still lying to Tasha Lem, but announcing he was an emissary for DEATH as his son had instructed them to.
"I'm sorry Mother Superious, but as the Master said this is a universal incursion occurring, we now have to trace it back to the universe it is originating from and then put to death the universe, to prevent it destroying this universe as this is the mainline universe for this section of reality and the loss of one universe is better than the loss of a billion universes hence not wanting others to see just what our ship actually looks like, it will need to take the configuration that allows us to destroy a universe so that we can put to death the universe that is breaching into this one and then Lord DEATH will cut it away from reality. Lucky for us you have a clean copy of the noise something we couldn't get because of your shield, and it is projecting fear and dread to anyone that listens to it because of just what is happening, we now need to leave and trace the noise back to the source and then put that universe to death and let Lord DEATH cut it away from reality before more damage is done. The longer we take the more universes could be affected including this one. Our time is now critical, we must find the cluster universe and put it to death destroying it, so we need to take our leave." Harry explained and then using the bond the Master and Doctor, he got them to bow then the three of them looked at her as though wanting to leave however Harry passed through the bond for the Doctor to announce he was an emissary as well, as soon as possible knowing Tasha Lem was going to ask them a question and the Doctor could answer it.
"Are you sure you don't want to check the planet out first you could be wrong?" Tasha Lem asked hoping that she could get them to investigate what was going on.
"I'm sorry Tasha but the Arbitrator is right a universal incursion is happening to this universe as we speak. As the Master explained to you, I am now an emissary for Lord DEATH rather than being an emissary for the Deity TIME as I was until I had gone through all of my regenerations and I died, with the Master passing before me and already an emissary for Lord DEATH. HE offered for me to become an emissary for HIM as part of this team so the Master and I could remain together and when I agreed HE created me a new body which as I said before I have had for a very long time. I asked you for the meeting as I have met you before plenty of times when I was a Lord of Time as the Master said. So, we knew you were more than likely to agree to meet me rather than one of the others asking for a meeting with you. I did not mean to deceive you in any way, it is just that we have a history which while recent to you is over a million years ago for me it's just fortunate that we all have eidetic memories. I hoped with our history that you would likely grant me and the others an audience with you." The Doctor said keeping with the story they had made up, but also finally announcing he was also an emissary before he continued so they could leave.
"We couldn't properly decode and analyse the noise through your shield and before we could get back into this universe you had it quarantined with a very impressive shielding system which we need you to keep up if you will. You will know when we have sorted it as the noise that is being projected from the planet below us will cut off, then you will be able to leave this place if you release your shield before we have sorted the problem out the planet will likely explode taking all the ships here with it. So please watch yourself and your people and keep listening to the signal ever hour if it doesn't cut off after we have destroyed the other universe putting everything in it to death and Lord DEATH cuts it away from reality we will have to return and seal the breach ourselves which will be tomorrow at the latest. However, you will have to warn all the races around here as Everywhere our ship will scare them all it is deigned and able to destroy and put to death a full universe as the Arbitrator explained. I'm sure you can imagine what it will look like to have that sort of fire power able to destroy a universe from within putting it all to death and then it will be up to Lord DEATH to cut it away and tell us if we need to return to this universe and destroy the planet below us after…." The Doctor explained to Tash Lem, but before he could finish the door behind them suddenly burst open and Sam came running in.
"Miss. Brown, calm down what is the matter?" Harry asked her, knowing what was wrong but playing dumb.
"Erm nothing, nothing sorry." She replied getting worked up. She had run into the confessionals, and they had scared her even with the warning Harry had given her.
"The Arbitrator told you not to be afraid if you ran into the confessionals who by the look on your face you have, it is just who they are and they do a lot of good for those that have faith in the church, However Lord DEATH was correct in what HE thought was going on in this universe. We must return to our ship now and sort it, we need to drop you back off on your planet and the leave you there, but as you know it took us an hour to get here so we will be able to spend the same amount of time together to finish catching up while the Arbitrator runs the noise through our ship and finds out just which cluster universe is causing the universal incursion then we will need to leave this universe to track it down and destroy it putting it to death to prevent it destroying this one. As you know we can't take you into another universe and as long as we don't need to seal the breach here, we won't be coming back to this universe. We don't want to end up losing even more universes than the one causing this problem." the Doctor spoke to Sam lying to her as well, then he turned back around to look at Tasha Lem.
"Thank you for your time, Tasha. With your help we don't need to go to the planet and hopefully we can sort this out within the next few hours after dropping Sam off on the planet she lives on. I doubt you will see us again as I didn't meet you after the last time I saw you before I died, The noise being projected from the planet below will cut off with what we intend to do very soon I would imagine, so unless Lord DEATH instructs us to come back and destroy the planet below us you won't see me again, I am glad to see you in good health, but we must take our leave time is now of the essence." The Doctor told Sam then thanked Tasha Lem and the Doctor and the Master bowed and all three were getting ready to leave even Sam curtsied.
"You get your instructions off this so-called Lord DEATH who knows what's going on, but sent you to deal with it?" Tasha Lem asked them sarcastically.
"Yes, as all three of us are emissaries for Lord DEATH, as I said before I am now an emissary for Lord DEATH as well. we are given orders that we must follow to keep reality going for Lord DEATH as HE cannot enter a universe as HE would destroy it just by entering it hence us being HIS emissaries and dealing with the problems that HE orders us to. This was one such order once we have dealt with this problem the three of us will go to the plane of the emissaries outside of reality and we will get our next instructions off Lord DEATH. If you hadn't got to the planet before us no one would have even known we had been and gone and we would have sorted the problem, we would have already tracked the noise back to the universe that is causing this problem and then destroyed the universe causing everything in to be put to death to prevent it fully crashing into this one. If it has been going for over a week it could end up us having to destroy the planet below us which will seal the breach, hence saying we will need your help to evacuate it as I know you have transporter technology to move your soldiers from your mainframe to plants surfaces, hopefully we will be able to sort the problem and the planet won't need evacuating and then we won't have to destroy it." The Doctor started to explain backing his son up lying to Tasha Lem like the other two had.
"I'm sorry Tasha, I would have just asked for a copy of the noise over the communications on our ship I didn't know you would have picked up and recorded a perfect copy of the noise being projected hence asking to go down to the planet so we could investigate what was going on. I'm glad I took the Arbitrators advice to see you though I am happy you are still doing Gods work it helps people to move onto the beyond that Lord DEATH controls which is the equivalent of your heaven! You won't ever see us again, unless something else crops up in this universe and you are around at the time, but we are now in a rush so may we take our leave?" The Doctor explained still lying to Tash Lem, but then he asked her if they could leave as the Doctor and the Master could tell Harry was getting very impatient about leaving so he bowed as did the Master Sam following their lead curtsied.
"I will escort you out to one of the bishops to see you to your vessel then if it is that important that you leave." Tasha Lem told them, but you could see she wasn't happy.
"Thank you, Tasha, and remember to listen to the signal at least once an hour until it stops transmitting or we return which should be tomorrow at the latest." The Doctor instructed her, the Doctor felt a bit guilty if it made her feel afraid, but he would back his son up with him giving the passphrase to both the Master and him though their bond.
Tasha Lem escorted them out still trying to entice them but all three were adamant that it was imperative that they leave and find the universe that was causing all the problems, finally they were passed off to a bishop and after wishing Tasha Lem good luck the four of them were escorted to the TARDIS. As soon as they were inside her and the door shut Harry was running for the console unit and sorting out sending the TARDIS out of the Mainframe and then into space plotting a course, so they didn't crash into another ship that was there.
"What was that son? why did you change the timeline after you blipped and tell us to follow your lead and tell her we are emissaries for Lord DEATH that is going to get out and she is going to know it was lie the next time we come across her! It was a faction of the mainframe that tried to abduct Melody. I thought the idea was to go to the planet and see just what that signal was." The Doctor demanded then explained annoyed.
"Iswaswillbe! We have to get out of here and quickly now shut up and stand next to each other dad and Pere and move next to me no messing around there is serious trouble with reality we need to visit Father we will be back for you Sam as soon as we know what is going on don't worry how long it takes, we should be back in a blip unless Father hasn't stopped time in the inbetween, the TARDIS is set to fly through Space missing any other ships then once out of sight, she will go into the Time Vortex and drop you off at home at the right time!" Harry told them all as quicky as possible, while he was also programming the TARDIS to travel out into open Space from where they had parked her on the Mainframe and then leaving her to continue going through Space and enter the Time Vortex to return Sam to her home.
Harry turned around to find that his dads were nearly to him as he had been working on programming the TARDIS. Harry grabbed them both and he took them to the inbetween. They arrived to find two chairs in front of a desk with a throne in the middle of them and Nulls Fathers throne that HE used behind the desk, but nothing else.
"Erm, I don't know what is going on Father said there was trouble in reality and HE looked both worried and angry as well as sounding it when I blipped. HE said you had to announce you were both emissaries for HIM in front of Tasha Lam and no matter what we were not to go to the planet. After we heard that signal off Tasha Lem, I could then feel Father doing something and HE is really angry through us being joined together, but I don't know what is going on with Father and what HE is doing." Harry explained looking around at the setup his Father had created.
"I've never felt anything like this ever before and it is really, really distracting me. It's still going on whatever it is that is happening with Father, whatever it is that HE is doing HE is becoming even angrier over it, but as I said I don't know what Father is up to or why HE is not here and it feels different to how it normally feels, it's usually very, very peaceful here, it still does feel peaceful but it is nowhere near as peaceful as it usually is, it's as though Father has pulled some of HIS power from here. It feels weird to me being here now as I said it should totally relax me but it's not doing that. However, that could just because of what I am feeling." Null continued to explain to the Master and the Doctor shaking his whole body at the end like a dog shedding water it really was making Null feel weird the inbetween had never felt like this to him.
"As I said all Father said to me when I blipped was that there was trouble with reality, to listen to the recording say it was a noise not a signal and not to go to the planet! Whatever is going on Father was both worried and angry over it when I blipped, we will just have to wait sorry, Father hasn't stopped time here for some reason, but I don't know why, and I don't want to stop it in case there is a reason. I was given instructions off Father to get us out of there and get us to here as soon as you had announced you were emissaries for HIM out loud to Tasha Lem. Let me at least change your clothing sorry dad you've just lost two suits as I pulled them from your wardrobe in your bedroom then changed them to fit Pere and me!" Null then told the Doctor and the Master.
Null then set about chaining the Doctor and himself into the clothes they normally wore and what the hologram they had used made them look like until Null had changed them all into the suit his dad always wore and cancelled the pill out that the three of them had taken to project their clothes on. The only thing Null didn't do was give the Doctor a pocket watch as he had nothing to make one for him or change the cuffs on what was now a black silk shirt. As his dad didn't wear cufflinks like he did so he had to leave the button up cuffs on the shirt, which he unbuttoned and rolled them up a few times so they ddint feel so restrictive on his wrists. As well as him not having a black wife beater t-shirt underneath as his dad didn't wear anything under his own shirt. Some of the clothes were banished while others were changed into what Null and the Doctor normally wore.
DEATH had told Null to get the three of them to the inbetween as soon as possible as Null had said he could feel his Father doing something, something that had never happened before to him and he knew his Father was angry over whatever it was that HE was dealing with it was really distracting Null especially as the inbetween didn't feel as peaceful as it normally did it felt as though some of the feelings Null normally felt had been removed for some reason as though DEATH had removed some of HIS power that the inbetween held instead of DEATH holding HIS power himself like Null did, it was how Null could pull on his Fathers power he pulled on the power that his Father stored in the inbetween.
DEATH only needed so much power to keep the other Deities in line but as HE was so old HIS powers grew just like Null's did the more they both aged even though Null didn't age while in the inbetween this was where DEATH had resided since before the very first reality had come into being so HE did age while here and HIS power grew as well. Once Null had finished changing both his and his Pere's clothes Null took his throne and waited for his Father to return wondering what was going on with his elbows on his knees and his face rested on his linked hands trying to see if he could feel anything else from his Father other than overwhelming anger.
The Master and the Doctor didn't even think of sitting down or relaxing until they were told they could, their son might be able to do whatever he wanted while with his Father. They knew it was up to them to instil right from wrong in their son as well as all the other things parents did for their children, but his Father loved him and would allow him to do whatever he wanted. So, DEATH wouldn't worry about him making himself comfortable sitting on the smaller throne to the one behind the desk, but they didn't feel that comfortable especially being there without DEATH they only ever sat when they were told they could by HIM. However, their son was right the inbetween did feel different to how they normally felt when they had been brought here quite a few times in the past.
