Chpater 15
Back on the Tardis the new Doctor and Harry were getting everything ready.
"I'm going for shock value Arbitrator you take out the crucible, Donna it's your job to cover me and help everyone into the TARDIS." The new Doctor told Harry then Donna.
"Arbitrator you know you will have to take out the reality bomb don't you, you can't just destroy it you need to take it all out." The new Doctor explained quietly and gently to Harry and just as Harry was about to reply his vison blurred and he was facing DEATH in the inbetween,
“DEATH.” Null said to DEATH.
"Hello Null… He will destroy all of reality not just your part of it as you thought, he is trying to do what I can as a Deity, this will not be allowed, you have all MY abilities now is the time to use them and show him just who you are. I am DEATH who lives in DEATH your dads help you live within the universes it is a balance for you Null, one I am happy for, people are afraid of me normally, but I am nothing to fear the only one I will never take is you.... But you could be left alone if that thing is allowed to transmit, you would have to join ME in the inbetween until the next reality is born. As thee Deity I cannot act so freely on the mortal plain, but you can Null." DEATH gently explained to Null.
"Is that why you made me hold your own powers and taught me how to use them all, so I can act for YOU within the universes?" Null asked upset at the thought, Null had said he would never use these powers and now he was being told he had to by DEATH who always said it was up to his free will if he used them or not, DEATH wasn’t giving him a choice.
"Never Null!” DEATH spoke, reading Null’s soul to know what he was thinking and feeling.
“The whole truth is buried and forgotten but as I can read your thoughts Null, come here and lean on MY arms you will understand soon enough.” DEATH explained then told Null what to do and Null did as he was told and went to lean on DEATH which was a shock he didn’t know DEATH could take solid form.
“I am here to respond Null.” DEATH said aloud and just like that everything that had been hidden from Null, that Null had begged and pleaded to be hidden all came back into his memory the real horror his life had been until DEATH intervened when he sacrificed himself for a community, he no longer felt wanted in. He had spent since the age of five screaming out in his mind for anyone to help him and no one did until he met DEATH, he collapsed against DEATH, HE was holding Null up as he shook and tears ran from his eyes at what his real life had been like until he had died it lasted maybe thirty second what he had lived though and how bad his life really was from the age of five onward.
“I have responded Null!” DEATH said again and everything cleared from Null’s mind.
“What was that DEATH?” Null asked shook up with tears still streaming down his face, DEATH gently wiped them away holding Null up by one arm, until Null got a hold of his emotions again and the tears stopped running down his face while DEATH just continued to gently wiped them away Null no longer remembered what he had just seen and felt but whatever it was had left him in a real mess.
“The truth, hidden from you by ME at your request, you begged ME to hide them just so you could go on living after I removed the soul shard of Tom Malvolio Riddle who you hoped would kill you so you didn’t do it by your own hand, but I will give you an overview of what went on in your whole life now Null up until we met each other for the first time you can remember at the age of seventeen nearly eighteen.” DEATH explained making Null look up in shock.
“I have told you it all before, but it had to be hidden to allow you to continue on living, but I will tell you what you need to know for now…. I had decided that you would act as MY agent in your original universe of your part of reality that you were in as Harry James Potter-Peverell, the Deity TIME interceded before your conception and I agreed to allow you to be born as you were at the time a Real Unspeakable with only one percent of human DNA, but you would still act as MY agent only you would become a cluster agent for ME as you would be able to handle the length of memory you would need to going through the different universes. You have to understand, I am final, I am totally immortal and I have always been so, I have no attachments to anything or anyone, why would I? All I do is end up taking reality to see it all be reborn anew again and again over and over. You would carry out MY will within the cluster of universes and parallel universes around where you were within the mainline universe of that section of reality whether you liked it or not, I didn’t care! You were to become MY agent and so you would, end of story." DEATH started to explain.
"However, all that changed on the night of the thirty first of October of nineteen eighty one. I was there that night. I am not always there when someone or something dies, generally only when it's something that will change reality from a mainline universe like when one of MY Hallows was about to change hands as there are only a few mainline universes with them in even the parallel universes and cluster universes don’t hold MY Hallows only the mainline universes do that I have placed them in. Seconds before James Fleamont Potter-Peverell died, I knew that one of MY Hallows was about to get a new owner so I appeared in astral form immediately to the person who would next possess it, I cannot walk on a planet like you can Null, I hold far too much power in my true form, but I can be there within a universe if I want to be by divesting all of my powers so I do not destroy anything if I went into a universe with all my powers I would destroy anything I touched but as I said I can still enter a universe if I want to." DEATH continued to explain.
"Anyway back to you and your life Null, you can't imagine MY surprise when I saw that the one that would possess the Hallow was virtually a baby, not even a child, not even a toddler just a fifteen month old little boy sat up in his cot with his mother Lilly Sandra Potter-Peverell Nee Evens in front of him casting all the linguistic Science commands she could at the door to keep Tom Malvolio Riddle out. I knew what you were meant to become and how you conception came about but even I did not expect you to survive that curse when it was sent at you, it shreds the soul as I have explained to you before then the soul must be removed from the body to pass onto whichever afterlife awaits it. I honestly thought I would need a new agent for that mainline universe and all the parallel universes around it along with all the universe clusters that come off the mainline universe you were in." DEATH continued to explain while Null held onto HIS However, that didn't happen and in front of ME was a very little boy that had done something that mortals considered impossible. I was quite surprised…. I had thought that the power to do it had died out long ago in your universe. As I explained and taught you at seventeen, you are a full Elemental and you used the element of life to protect you against the element of death that the linguistic Science command is based on to kill someone." DEATH explained even more to Null.
"Though it surprised me it wouldn't have been enough to keep MY interest. No, what kept ME interested was the fact that the very little boy could see ME. I stayed with you till the half-giant came to collect you removing you from your oath sworn godfather Sirius Orion Black. I could have attributed the fact that you could see ME because of the Avada Kedavra Linguistic Science command. However, it wasn't that simple. Through the connection you had with one of MY Hallows you had a connection to ME and every night after the attack I could feel and hear you calling out to ME. The first few weeks I ignored it, I don't think you even knew what you were doing, though one night I came to see you again in astral form to see why you were calling out to ME and what you wanted with ME. After that night I visited you again and again, till I was coming to see you every night and when it became necessary, I brought a small amount of my power with ME and I stayed the whole night with you, taking care of you and your health ensuring you were healed fully every time you were injured.” DEATH eventually finished what he needed to explain to Null.
“It was YOU?” Null asked DEATH shocked.
“YOU were the one who healed me? When the Dursleys beat me, or when I was burned. YOU were there for me?” Null asked really shocked at this information off DEATH.
“Yes, it was ME I brought just enough power with ME to keep you going and alive after what the Dursleys put you through every day that they beat you and you were injured no matter how badly so that I could heal you each night from whatever they had done to you like when Vernon Stewart Dursley broke both your legs I healed you then so your bones were set as they should have been while I let you sleep through the pain until you were woken up in the morning to start your day of abuse again off them." DEATH explained.
"However, I was with you all of your life from being a baby after I first came to see you again, I stayed with you constantly pulling power into myself from here to heal you at night if I needed to, ensuring I only brought enough power into a universe so I wasn’t felt or did damage to where I was, but that power allowed ME to heal you back to full health by the next morning even regrowing your hair when Petunia Christine Dursley Nee Events cut most of it off making you look a mess and crying over what she had done. Then you grew up and you erased ME from your mind at the age of five. You thought I was an imaginary friend and ended up believing that it was all your imagination, then because of the two Dursley adults you started to not think about anything that wasn't normal, so you forced yourself to forget ME and as I said and you started to silently scream in your mind for help off anyone at the age of five, but only you and I heard yourself screaming for help." DEATH continued to explain.
"However, even though you forgot ME your soul never forgot who I was, your soul always remembered ME. I still watched over you all the time, even if you could no longer see ME, I was always there taking care of you and healing you following you around so I knew how much if any power I would need to bring into the universe to heal you each night once you fell asleep. Then when you finally used the Cloak Of Invisibility Hallow for the first time that you inherited off James Fleamont Potter-Peverell who inherited it off his own father all the way back to Ignotus Peverell who it was given to in the first place, I noticed the difference immediately in the Hallow that you were using. The Hallow belonged to you, it was as much yours as it was mine, something that had never happened before ever with one of MY Hallows! In all I have seen no one has ever shared something with ME up until then. After seeing the difference in that Hallow, I went to look at the other two of MY Hallows that were in that universe on Earth. There was a difference as well in them. MY Hallows are only placed into a mainline universe and normally only have two connections each." DEATH continued to explain Nulls life to him.
"However, in that moment there were three connections to the other two, the Elder wand and the resurrection stone. One connection was with ME, one connection was very weak but with the current holder and the other connection was with you in full. I have to admit to being rather shocked for the first time ever! The Hallows are a part of ME and for them to have that kind of connection with you, would only be possible if you were also a part of ME, or I apart of you. I was never sure about how it happened, but when you called out to ME and I answered, WE became one being split into two. The whole of Time changed around us both and continued to change. After I realized that the Hallow belonged to you as much as it belonged to ME, I noticed that I had feelings, emotions, for you. I had parental feelings of love towards you and what Father wants to see their child die?" DEATH explained then asked but HE didn't expect an answer.
"When you appeared to ME before, I have always told you what you need to know never forcing you to think differently even hiding the memories you begged ME to, that were sealed behind password protected blocks, one to release them as I just did and one to block them again to remove what you went through as a child as I have just shown you. You didn’t want to live Null, you wanted to die to stop the screaming in your mind just to be loved again by anyone who would love you, you knew Lilly Sandra Potter-Peverell Nee Evens and James Fleamont Potter-Peverell loved you as they died for you even though James Fleamont Potter-Peverell only blood adopted you, you knew he must of loved you to die for you so you felt the two of them would love you and be there for you able to hear you silently screaming in your mind from the age of five if you died and met up with them." DEATH carried on with HIS explanation.
"It took a long time for ME to help sort you out getting you to stop silently screaming in your mind and know you were loved by no one more than ME. I wanted you to live and have a wonderful time while doing so as any Father would want for their child, after I had stopped you silently screaming and you were happy again. So I ensured you went through the veil to meet up with both Koschei and Theta in this mainline universe of this section of reality and ensured you would then be supported by your two dads, as soon as your bonds with them were in place, the first time you met them both together so you could feel the love they constantly have for you always being there for you just like I am. Your dads keep you grounded and allow for you to keep your emotions as you have always had them and even I cannot get rid of them they are your emotions that you were born with you will always have them so you will always want to live within a universe exploring it, it is why I wanted you to be able to see Time as it is something I could do so I ensured you met up with Koschei who would do what I wanted of him with Theta’s support, allow you to see Time and all its permutations." DEATH continued to explain to Null.
"But with you being a Real Unspeakable I knew you would be able to see Time in any universe like I can. I told you I could bring you here to ME if you needed ME for anything even just to talk, but the truth is you could always get to here. You were just too scared of that fact so I made the offer that if you wanted ME you would only need to let ME know and I would bring you here. All you needed to do was want to be here with ME and you would have been brought to the inbetween. So, I never told you only telling you your powers would grow which they will, you still have your free will, but you are MY SON Null. Not an agent for ME but MY SON, I am your Father as well." DEATH finally told Null HE was his Father.
"You arbitrate between my emotions of love for you even though you do as you think arbitrate between life and death, the title you were given off the Deity TIME is because of the emotions I have for you. They are only there for you I care for no one else other than you and I never will, but you will always be MY priority and always have been since I realised I loved you as MY SON! I love you too much to let you fall apart, or break down because of your immortality, I will always be here for you if you need ME from now on you just need to think about being with ME and you will come straight here to ME as I have said." DEATH explained about how Null could come to the inbetween whenever he wanted just by wanting to be there.
"I have helped you, supported you, been there for you and loved you from the first time I saw you after you were nearly killed, but the fact is as much as Lilly Sandra Evens and Koschei are your parents then James Fleamont Potter-Peverell blood adopted you into the Peverell family, so you could hold the Hallows and Theta is now your Pere as you call him, I am your Father Null. Your old universe is no longer accessible to you as you know, you will now live out your existence for a time in this mainline universe with both Koschei and Theta exploring it until you are much, much, older when you will then be able to move out into the rest of reality and do what you want as MY SON.” DEATH finished HIS explanation and let Null take it all in. Taking what could have been days, weeks or years to allow Null to absorb everything Null had just been told by DEATH, HE eventually continued.
“However, we need to discuss something else now SON, the daleks they are to be destroyed please. I know you have your free will and I will never take that away from you, but I want you to use your free will now to do what is necessary. Both the Deity TIME and I have agreed, the daleks cannot be allowed to set that bomb off even the Deity LIFE is begging you to help HER. That is a Fully Fledged True dalek Empire they are the heart of what caused the Deity TIME to lash out in this mainline universe during the Time War for what they were doing to this universe only now they want to kill off everything within reality other than themselves, not just fight in this mainline universe and this cannot be allowed." DEATH gently explained to Null.
"Kill just the daleks SON as I know you really want to for what they are putting both Koschei and especially Theta through, they are ripping them apart and this will have consequences on Theta the most as it is him Davros is fixated on because he blames Theta for not saving him at the Gate of Elysium. You must remind Theta of his compassion he had not entered the Time War at that time. He had not been made into a warrior to end the Time War when Davros was swallowed up into the jaws of the Nightmare child." DEATH explaned what HE wanted Null to do.
"I am glad to see the three of you getting on so well and you have now become a family of three as I intended. Now though you should use your power off ME, MY SON to help Koschei and Theta and all they care about, it will ease your worry after using your powers off ME, I promise you. You will be in this universe now for a long time as I said until you decided to go throughout the whole of reality as MY SON you will continue to visit other mainline universes that you want to see until a new reality is born, as I’ve said you just never knew who you truly are because it was blocked from you by ME at your request that you begged ME to do for you and I couldn’t deny you anything you wanted." DEATH continued to explain gently.
"I love you too much MY SON, but you are now stable enough to know what happened to you as a child. Reality will all be yours to play with eventually but for now I am happy for you to stay in this mainline universe with Koschei and Theta who are now both your real dads and if you want to take them through the rest of reality with you, I will allow it. Although I will always be here to advise you, support you and give you MY help and love constantly as your Father. If you are prepared to use your powers, after you kill the daleks do not interfere in Theta’s timeline either of theirs not the new Theta or the old Theta this is necessary and won’t affect you so leave it be, please." DEATH finished his explanation to Null what HE wanted Null to do and what Null would now be able to do in the future.
"I'm sorry…. For doubting YOU…. I know what YOU want me to do, and I know they will finally be at peace but to kill off a whole civilisation, I'm still scared about these powers…. Father!" Null replied eventually to DEATH after he had stopped shaking and crying, but there were gaps between what he wanted to say, so it came across right.
"I’m glad to see you are starting to come to terms with the truth that I am actually your Father and one of your parents along with Koschei and Lilly Sandra Evans and you have Theta who as I said is your Pere SON. We will talk a lot more now over time, especially as now you know the truth and can come and visit ME whenever you want to talk or just feel loved or ask questions. I will be here for you for anything you want or need, you never wanted to know before it scared you too much, but now you need to embrace your true calling. You are MY SON who lives within the universes with you two dads to support you and your emotions. Also, it is only those on what they are calling the Crucible and on their ships that I am asking you to destroy to pass onto the afterlife that is awaiting them from this mainline universe and as I said that is a Fully Fledged True dalek Empire. This is what they were like in the Time War but now want to take out everything except themselves within reality as I have said and Davros is taking pleasure in ripping Theta apart. As for your powers I taught you how to use them and once you do even you will feel better, I promise you little one " DEATH said with Null still holing onto DEATH'S arm.
"Now, go SON, go with MY love for you and with MY strength in your heart, never doubt you are MY SON, I will always be here for you, WE will talk a lot more now and see each other a lot now in the future. I will keep watching you and be here for you as I always have since I first answered the call when you called to ME from your cupboard under the stairs." DEATH told Null what to do with love in HIS voice.
“Thank you for everything you’ve done for me Father…. Can I tell my dads the truth? I don’t want to leave them or lie to them?” Null replied and then asked quietly slightly frightened he would be told no and have to leave them. Null was still being held by DEATH even though he had now calmed down after learning everything his Father had just told him.
“You can do what you want, MY SON you have free will as I have always said, you will always have that, even off ME if we have spoken about it from now on you can speak to them about it I held your tongue on the regeneration matter because I did not want Koschei or Theta to take unnecessary risks, but as you have seen you can pass your energy to them if they need it now, they can have it from you as you have done as I said you could. Now go SON and show them just who you are you are the SON of DEATH and it is time everyone knew I am your Father!” DEATH replied to Null who nodded then Null lifted himself up off leaning on his Fathers arms and wiped his eyes and then nodded again at his Father letting HIM know he was ready to return to the universe and the TARDIS.
Just like that Harry was back and looking at the Doctor.
"I know…. I'll handle the daleks you keep Davros busy and confused." Harry explained. Suddenly Harry imputed the commands into the console unit and the whole of the TARDIS came back to full power. They had agreed between them to leave the breaks on, it would make everyone know they were coming.
Harry had aimed for a position that was clear of everyone that was in force fields in the vault but near to both his dad and his Pere and then they entered the Time Vortex to land in the vault. Everyone was shocked when the TARDIS came into being even more so when the first one out was a copy of the Doctor carrying some type of gun running at Davros.
"What?" Rose asked everyone there at seeing the sight of a second Doctor.
"Brilliant!" Jack shouted at seeing a second Doctor also.
And then Davros raised his metal hand and fired electricity at the new Doctor stopping him in his tracks, causing him to fall unconscious sending the gun he had made up which only shocked people backwards away from him, suddenly a forcefield surrounded him as well. Donna came running out behind him and when he fell, she grabbed the gun.
“I've got it but what do I do?" Donna asked shouting and looking at the other Doctor in the forcefield the real one, the real Doctor just looked confused.
Davros shot Donna with his metal hand and she flew backwards as well knocked out. Then Harry slowly walked out of the TARDIS his probe ready to work but pointing down at his side.
Davros spotted him and before he could do anything he was inside a forcefield.
" I was, I am and I will always be, Davros. It might contain all the others but not me!" Harry told Davros and with that said Harry took a small step forward and teleported through the higher dimensions to the other side of the forcefield fading back into sight as he moved, he appeared from the feet up and slowly moved forward as his body came back into focus as though he had walked straight through the forcefield not teleported through it.then Harry pointed his sonic probe at the machine terminal to his right.
"All Z-Neutrino relay loops closed using an internalised synchronous back feed reversal loop stopping the crucible from firing!" harry told them all as the reality bomb stopped working.
"That's not possible what are you?" Davros demanded raising his metal hand ready to defend himself, but so was Harry even if his probe was now pointing down at his side..
"Most people ask who not what. I am a Magical Time Lord, the Doctor is my Pere and the Master my dad. However, it's my True Father you should be worried about Davros." Harry explained, but when he mentioned his Father he said it was a sadness in his voice and all of the others that were caught in force fields were looking at him now.
"He is here, He is finally here the one above all, the end is here! but one will still die today!" Dalek Caan spoke in his mad voice laughing, it was an awful sound.
"I've heard prophecy before, it can be taken in many ways and can have many outcomes, also please shut up I know who I am now and I can hear you all screaming in your mettle shells, it’s all you will ever do the way you were created. Screaming out for help through you Davros it’s all you've ever done make other scream out after each atrocity you caused, but not your creations any longer…. No, my True Father won't allow it!" Harry first told dalek Cann then spoke to Davros till standing there with his probe at his side pointing down but ready to be used.
"So, a child thinks he can take on my might of a True dalek empire just because you stopped the weapon from firing?" Davros asked looking and sounding deranged laughing at Harry.
"I'm so sorry, I really am so, so sorry…. But I can take out the daleks because of my True Father, not the Master and the Doctor they are my dad and Pere as I said I was born to them, but I became to my Father a SON, HE then as a Father wanted me protected, HE still protects me throughout the whole of Reality to be HIS SON. To experience what HE can't the mortal plane in full, and HE is not happy you’re trying to kill off everything in Reality before its true time, so it will be stopped and all the daleks killed as my Father has requested!" Harry explained sadly and gently to Davros knowing what he was going to do.
with that said to Davros Harry lifted his sonic probe into the air and every Dalek died just like that, Harry didn't utter a word externally he didn't do anything other than lift his probe and focus his intent and will of DEATH powers to kill giving the command through his mind. No one saw it but they all felt it, it was a strange sensation, like it was new, but it was also old, week as an old grandmother’s hug, yet as strong as an amazon at the heart of her prime, it was like the last hug of a loved one then all there was, was a feeling of peace everything was okay now it was all over. The feelings all came as one intermixed until the end and just like with the feelings every dalek died in that instant.
Even Davros' hand backfired and shocked him when he tried to fire at Harry, he was using that much power to kill off all the daleks even those out in space on their ships. Davros looked around in shock only him and dalek Caan remained all the other daleks looked as if they had powered down and were not moving that were around Davros even the live feed from the Crucibles main level showed all the daleks had fallen out of the air or stopped moving on the floor.
Harry then pointed his probe at the roof of all the different forcefields causing them all to drop releasing everyone trapped inside of one, the Doctor and Master ran to Harry hugging him, Harry had tears that were slowly running down his face that the Doctor gently wiped away, Harry had just killed off the dalek race in one go. It was the only option really and it was what DEATH had asked HIS SON to do for HIM. The bomb had to be stopped but Harry was upset with what he had had to do killing off all the daleks bar dalek Cann. Both the Master and Doctor were still hugging Harry when suddenly Donna came around.
"Oh, my head, my head is full of new things and ideas, I know how to use that shock gun now then I could have stopped the reality bomb and blown all the Daleks up in their shells! Why didn't I do it?" Donna spoke slightly disorientated sitting up still slightly confused.
"What?" the Master asked, normally that was the Doctors line, but the Master was still a little out of it and both the Master and the Doctor were still hugging Harry who still had a few tears falling down his face at what he had, had to do to stop the bomb. the Master let go of hugging Harry and after ensuring Harry was alright then let the Doctor wipe away the last of the tears on his sons face and the Master took Harry's hand and pulled Harry and the Doctor over to Donna.
"Oh, yes how cool am I! That was a two-way biological metacrisis. Half Doctor, half Donna!” Donna explained to them all smiling in good cheer while sat up and getting to her feet.
"The Doctor Donna! Just like the Ood said, remember? They must have seen this coming saw it coming! The Doctor Donna and the Master, I thought they'd just separated it but didn’t mean it literally." The Doctor explained to Donna shocked with everyone else listening in, the Doctor was still holding onto Harry’s hand while following the Master over to Donna.
"Come on then, boys, we've got twenty seven planets to send home! Did I ever tell you best typist in Chiswick one hundred words a minute, now…. Activate Magnetron!" Donna told the adult Time Lords then explained about her skills as she moved and stood in front of a dalek console near where the TARDIS had landed and where she had slid back to when she was knocked out by Davros.
Harry had released his dads hands and stood off to the side to let them do what they were doing, trying to compose himself he didn’t feel as bad, his Father was right the daleks died peacefully no longer screaming out like he had done since the age of five it had to happen he has to stop the reality bomb as well as taking out the daleks but it gave them peace for the first time since they were created by Davros using his extra powers gave them a merciful and peaceful death something that had to be done but it was a gentle passing for them all.
"Stop this at once!" Davros demanded as he advanced menacingly with his metal hand pointed at the Master, the Doctor, the new Doctor and Donna, but Jack appeared with his and Rose's gun from within the TARDIS, and he threw the one Rose had been using to Mickey.
"Mickey!" Jack shouted to Micky so he would catch the gun.
"You will desist!" Davros demanded still in shock he had lost all his daleks bar dalek Cann, but Davros still had his metal hand pointing at the ones it was pointing at before. However, Mickey stopped him, pointing the massive gun at him.
"Just stay where you are, mister and put that hand down if you like your body in one piece." Mickey informed Davros.
"Ready? And reverse!" Donna spoke to the other three adult Time Lords and one by one, the planets disappeared from the Medusa Cascade, returning to their original location as well as the Time that they had been taken from.
"Off you go, Clom." The Master said with humour as he sent Clom back to its position in space.
"Back home, Adipose three!" The new Doctor spoke as Adipose three was sent home.
"Shallacatop, Pyrovillia and the Lost Moon of Poosh, sorted! Ha!" Donna shouted pumping her fist into the air as those three planets were returned to their correct time and space.
"Ha!" The new Doctor shouted the most in tune with Donna.
“We need more power!" The Master told the others in concern.
"Is anyone gonna tell us what's going on with the Doctors?" Rose asked very bemused with what was going on.
"He [Donna gestured to the original Doctor] poured his regeneration energy into his spare hand, I touched the hand, he [Gestured to the new Doctor] grew out of that hand but that fed back into me. But it just stayed dormant in my head till the synapses got that little extra spark, kicking them into life. Thank you, Davros! Part human... Part Time Lord…. And I got the best bit of the Doctor. I got his mind!” Donna told them all seriously.
"So there's three of you? Three Doctors?" Rose asked the three of them.
"I can't tell you what I'm thinking right now." Jack told them winking at the three making Harry pull a face one of the Doctors the real one was his Pere.
"You're so unique all the timelines were converging on you. Human being with a Time Lord brain." The real Doctor explained why all the timelines had converged on Donna as Rose had said they were.
"But you promised me, Dalek Caan! Why did you not foresee this?" Davros begged out loud with Micky still guarding him, Dalek Caan just giggled on.
"Oh, I think he did. Something's been manipulating the timeline for ages. Getting Donna Noble to the right places at the right time." The real Doctor told Davros.
"This would always have happened. I only helped ensure the one above all would use his powers." Dalek Caan explained then dalek Cann burst out into giggles again.
"You betrayed the Daleks?!" Davros asked Dalek Cann shocked.
"I saw the Daleks. What we have done, throughout Time and space, I saw the truth of us Creator, and I decreed. No more!" Dalek Cann said at last. Without his mad giggling.
"We’re running out of power… And it’s gone. Typical it had to be that planet left!" The Master explained not at all amused about Earth still being there.
"We'll use the TARDIS to get it back in position, everybody in, Sarah Jane! Rose! Jackie! Jack! Mickey! Master, Arbitrator." The real Doctor told the Master and got everyone into the TARDIS the Doctor stopped waiting for the new Doctor, but he was looking at Davros and dalek Caan still stood at the dalek terminal.
"The Arbitrator left you alive today, but every other dalek is being destroyed!" The new Doctor told Davros with hatred in his voice and with that he pulled a leaver and all the daleks including dalek Caan exploded in their machines even though they were dead they were totally unsalvageable now they had been blown apart. The real Doctor looked on in shock at what the new Doctor had done the vault was on fire from all the explosions.
"What do you think you were doing, the Arbitrator killed them all off peacefully, yet you explode their shells around them which is going to cause this place to blow…. Get into the TARDIS now!" The real Doctor spoke shocked at the beginning seeing the devastation, the real Doctor knew Harry had killed them off, but they had died in peace every human in the vault felt that as Harry did it, then the real Doctors voice changed to that of an order and the real Doctor wouldn't take any excuses. The explosion was going to cause the crucible and all the dalek ships surrounding it to blow up as well. The real Doctor turned around and looked at Davros.
"Let me save you, I can get you out of here!" The real Doctor begged out loud like he had tried to do once before for Davros during the Time War.
"Never forget, Doctor. You and your son did this! I name you, forever... You are the Destroyer of the Worlds!" Davros screamed at the real Doctor as he disappeared behind flames. The real Doctor ran into the TARDIS pushing the new Doctor further in, not happy with him and what he had done at all.
The real Doctor pulled a lever on the new console unit and the TARDIS shook violently as they took off. The Crucible and the dalek ships exploded behind them going off like a bomb, all at once they were destroyed leaving only the TARDIS and the Earth in the Medusa Cascade.
"What about the Earth?" Sarah Jane asked the real Doctor always the particle one.
"I'm on it." The real Doctor told everyone looking around the new console unit and pulling a new screen around and tapped a few buttons into the new interactive keyboard.
"Torchwood Hub! This is the Doctor! Are you receiving me?" The Doctor asked.
"Loud and clear! Is my godson, the Master and Jack there?" Sirius demanded to know picking up the call.
“Can't get rid of them, I'll give you Jack back soon, the other two I need to borrow for longer!" The Doctor explained back to Sirius and Harry was worried did that mean he was no longer wanted?
"Now, Torchwood, I want you to open up that Rift Manipulator. Send all the power to me." The real Doctor carried on explaining to them what he wanted doing.
"Doing it now, sir!" Ianto informed the real Doctor at the screen before moving off to do it.
"What's that for?" Sirius asked watching Ianto, Gwen and Owen do as they had been instructed.
"It's a tow-rope. Now then, Sarah Jane, where is Luke?" The real Doctor first explained to Sirius then asked Sarah Jane at the end.
"He's at home in the loft with Mr. Smith the computer!” Sarah Jane explained to the real Doctor.
"Calling Luke and Mr Smith! This is the Doctor. Come on Luke, shake your legs!" The real Doctor shouted into one of the new interactive screens. Luke ran to Mr. Smith so he could be seen and saw the Doctor.
"Is Mum there?" Luke asked through Mr. Smith.
"Oh, she's fine and dandy.... Now Mr. Smith, I want you to harness the rift power and loop it around the TARDIS, you got that?" The real Doctor said to the computer after reassuring Luke his mum was okay.
"I regret, I will need remote access to TARDIS base code numerals." The mechanical voice of the computer replied.
"Oh, blimey, that's gonna take a while to transfer over to you even with the new set up." The Doctor announced running a hand through his hair.
"No, no, no, let me!" Sarah Jane told the real Doctor and she ran to the monitor.
"K9! Out you come!" Sarah Jane shouted and K-9 appeared beside Luke.
"Affirmative, Mistress!" K9 informed her.
"Oh, good dog! K-9, give Mr Smith the base code to the TARDIS!" The Doctor instructed the metal dog.
"TARDIS base code now being transferred. The process is simple!" K9 told the real Doctor as he extended his nose plugging it in to the computer. The code appeared on Mr. Smith. The real Doctor walked around the console unit, giving instructions to everyone.
"Now then, you lot... Sarah, hold that down and steady. Mickey, you hold that in that position. Cos, you know why this TARDIS is always rattling about the place? Rose, that there keep it level. It's designed to have six pilots. And I to use to have do it single handed. Martha, keep that level for me. But not anymore! Jack, there you go, steady that not above five or under four. Now we can fly this thing.... No, Jackie, no, no, not you, don't touch anything, just... Stand back." The Doctor explained to the individuals as he went around the console unit until he got to Jackie not wanting her near it.
"Now we can do it like it's meant to be flown! We've got the Torchwood Rift looped around the TARDIS by Mr. Smith, and we're gonna fly Planet Earth back home into its rightful position!" The Doctor explained. He took the navigation system which was the trickiest job on a TARDIS.
“No! The reason we shake everywhere is because you leave the breaks on when we travel through the Time Vortex this is going to strain the TARDIS enough so all do as you’re told and yes Doctor, Master I will explain let’s just get through this." Harry explained to everyone then to the Doctor and the Master not too happy over this, the life seemed to be leaving Harry and the Doctor gave him a small sad smile. The Doctor thought he knew what Harry meant. The Doctor Looked at the Master and it looked like he did to.
"Right then! Off we go!" The Doctor spoke to everyone there, then he pulled a lever and the TARDIS started to move, pulling the Earth along behind it. Once the navigation route was set in, the real Doctor walked around adjusting people, helping the ride stay steady. The Master, the Doctor and Harry could do this and keep her like this flying through space now with the new console unit Harry had design and the TARDIS had implemented, but in a TARDIS it was just easier to move through the Time vortex to the right Time and space coordinates.
The Earth arrived back to its proper position within minutes. In the TARDIS, people laughed, cheered, clapped, everyone hugged everyone. Donna pushed Sarah Jane away from Jack to throw herself into his arms, Harry stayed where he was leaving them all to it.

On planet Earth, people were celebrating too. Wilfred and his daughter hugged each other in delight, the BBC News showed fireworks that were going off all around the world with the headline ‘Earth returns home’. Francine, Martha's mother span in her front garden enjoying the sight of the blue sky and the sun. The TARDIS materialised in a park. The Doctor and Sarah Jane emerged they looked around to find everything back to normal.
"You know, you act like such a lonely man at times, but your son loves you. The Master is very protective of you, and you have all your different companions You've got the biggest family on Earth!... I have to go I need to check on Luke and see if there is any damage. Don't be a stranger you don't have to come just when we need you." Sarah Jane told the Doctor then Sarah Jane gave the Doctor a hug and looked over the road before running across it to her house. The Doctor re-entered the TARDIS and set if for its new destination on Earth.
"I told you, no teleport! And, Martha, get rid of that Osterhagen thing, eh? Save the world one more time make them remove the nuclear bombs! The Earth will always be protected like we always try to do there is no reason that can justify blowing the planet up!" The Doctor first spoke to Jack and then Martha. The three of them were stood just outside of the TARDIS, Jack and Martha were standing in front of the Doctor. The Doctor had used his sonic screwdriver on Jack's wrist device to block him teleporting again.
"Consider it done." Martha told the Doctor. Jack saluted the Doctor and so did Martha. The Doctor saluted them back, then Jack and Martha walked away hand in hand.
"You know, I'm not sure about UNIT these days. Maybe there's something else you could be doing." Jack said as the Doctor watched after them, with a touch of sadness in his smile. Mickey appeared from the TARDIS.
"Oi, where are you off to?" The Doctor asked Micky as he stepped out.
"Well, I'm not stupid, I can work out what happens next and hey, I had a good time in that parallel world, but my gran passed away. Nice and peaceful. She spent her last years living in a mansion. There's nothing there for me now, certainly not Rose she has her eyes firmly set on someone else now." Mickey informed the Doctor.
"What will you do?" The Doctor asked Mickey gently.
"Anything! Brand new life! Just you watch." Mickey answered back. The Doctor and Mickey knocked their fists together.
"See you, boss." Mickey shouted as he ran after Jack and Martha.
"Hey, you two wait up for me." Mickey shouted out to Jack and Martha as he ran towards them.
"Oh. I Thought I'd got rid of you." Jack turned to see Mickey and spoke in mock aspiration.
The Doctor re-entered the TARDIS and set it for its final destination for the rest of the passengers.
"Just time for one last trip. Darlig Ul Stranden. Better known as Bad Wolf Bay!" The Doctor explained to everyone in the TARDIS. The TARDIS materialised on the beach. Jackie, Rose and the new Doctor emerged.
"Ah, fat lot of good this is! Back of beyond. Bloody Norway! I'm gonna have to phone your father, he's on the nursery run." Jackie spoke exasperated when she saw where they were as they walked ahead, the Doctor, Harry and Donna came out of the TARDIS after them, the Master followed but stayed just outside of the TARDIS doors.
"I was pregnant, do you remember? Had a baby boy!" Jackie explained to the new Doctor.
"Ah, brilliant! What did you call him?" The new Doctor announced then asked Jackie.
"Doctor." Jackie replied to the new Doctor.
"Really?" The new Doctor asked excited.
"No, you plum! He's called Tony!" Jackie answered him with a smile on her face.
"Hold on, this is... The parallel universe, right?" Rose asked everyone there confused.
"You're back home." The Doctor explained to Rose.
"And the walls of the different universes are closing again, now that the Reality bomb never happened. It's dimensional retro-closure. See, I really get that stuff now." Donna explained to Rose and Jackie.
"No, but... I spent all that time trying to find you. I'm not going back now I want to travel with you and your family like before!" Rose exclaimed shocked that she was back in the parallel universe.
"But you've got to. Cos, we saved the universe and this part of reality, but at a cost." The Doctor explained to Rose but while the Doctor was talking, the Doctor was looking at the new Doctor.
"And the cost is him. He destroyed the Daleks. He committed genocide. He's too dangerous to be left on his own. The Arbitrator gave them a peaceful passing you all felt that but what he did can't be forgotten or forgiven." the Doctor carried on explaining to Rose but was still looking at the new Doctor.
"You made me!" The new Doctor exclaimed in his own defense.
"Exactly. You were born in battle, full of blood and anger and revenge…. Remind you of someone?" The Doctor said to the other one then asked Rose but she didn't answer.
"That's me, when we first met when I was so angry at destroying my own race, thinking I had killed the Master along with them and unable to find our son. And you made me better without even knowing why I was like I was. Now you can do the same for him." The Doctor explained to Rose.
"But he's not you." Rose argued back.
"He needs you. That's very me." The Doctor explained with conviction only for Harry to carry on.
"But it's better than that, though. Don't you see what the Doctor is trying to give you? Tell her, go on, tell Rose the truth about yourself Doctor." Harry gently explained to Rose while looking at the new Doctor.
"I look like him, I think like him, same memories, same thoughts, same everything. Except the body I'm in has only got one heart." The new Doctor explained to Rose while looking between the Doctor and Rose.
"Which means?" Rose asked the new Doctor.
"I'm part human. Specifically, the aging part. I'll grow old and never regenerate. I've only got one human life... Rose Tyler. I could spend it with you. If you want me to." The new Doctor explained to Rose while looking at her.
"You'll grow, grow old.... At the same time as me?" Rose asked shook up looking at the new Doctor.
"Together." The new Doctor told Rose. Confused, Rose touched the new Doctors chest to feel his single heart. The Doctor, Donna and Harry watched them with small smiles, until a grinding sound came from the TARDIS.
"We've got to go this universe is sealing itself off... For ever." The Doctor explained. The Doctor, Donna and Harry started to walk towards the TARDIS where the Master was still stood in front of the doorway. Rose ran after the three, grabbing hold of the Doctor.
"But.... It's still not right.... Cos the Doctor is.... Still you." Rose explained to the Doctor.
"And I'm him only feeling better now!" The Doctor replied gently pointing at the new Doctor.
"All right. Both of you, answer me this. When I last stood on this beach, on the worst day of my life, what was the last thing you said to me? Go on, say it." Rose demanded off the two Doctors.
"I said, Rose Tyler." The Doctor said.
"Yeah, and how was that sentence gonna end?" Rose demanded of the Doctor.
"Does it need saying?" The Doctor asked her back, not wanting to let her down with the true answer.
"And you, Doctor? What was the end of that sentence?" Rose asked the new Doctor. The new Doctor leaned to her and whispered something it into Rose’s ear. Rose looked at him, then pulled him closer and kissed him. The Doctor watched them sadly for a moment. He then turned around and went inside the TARDIS, followed by Harry then Donna with the Master entering last and he gently closed the door to the TARDIS behind him. Rose pulled away from the new Doctor as she heard the door closing, she ran towards the TARDIS but all she could do is watch it dematerialising. The new Doctor walked to her slowly and took her hand. They looked at each other and turning around walked back to her mother.

"Thought we could try the planet Felspoon. Just cos. What a good name! Felspoon! Apparently, it's got mountains that sway in the breeze. Mountains that move, can you imagine?" Donna spoke to them all in a happy cheerful mood now back in the TARDIS near the console unit.
"And how do you know that?" The Doctor asked Donna gently.
"Because it's in your head. And if it's in your head, it's in mine!" Donna informed them all still happy.
And how does that feel Donna?" Harry asked her next with a look of sadness on his face.
"Brilliant! Fantastic! Molto bene! Great big universe, packed into my brain! You know you could fix that chameleon circuit if you just tried hot binding the fragment-links and superseding the binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary" Donna started to explain but she had to stop and take a deep breath.
"I'm fine!" Donna informed them. The Doctor, Master and Harry watched her, sad but not surprised.
"Nah, never mind Felspoon. Know who I'd like to meet? Charlie Chaplin! I bet he's great, Charlie Chaplin. Shall we do that? Shall we go and see Charlie Chaplin? Shall we? Charlie Chaplin? Charlie Chester, Charlie Brown, no, he's fiction, friction, fiction, fixing, mixing, Rickston, Brixton." Donna told them all then Donna gasped and leaned against the new console unit, holding her head. The Doctor, the Master and Harry walked over to her slowly.
"Oh, my God!" Donna shouted out while clutching her head.
"Do you know what's happening?" The Master asked Donna gently even he got on well with her.
"Yeah!" Donna informed them not fully understanding it at all.
"There's never been a human, Time Lord metacrisis before now. And you know why." The Doctor gently explained to Donna.
"Because. There. Can't. Be." Donna answered dragging the words out not wanting to believe it turning away for the other three, unwilling to accept what was happening.
"I want to stay." Donna begged out loud to them still not looking at them.
"Look at me. Donna. Look at me." The Doctor demanded putting power into the words so she would turn back to him which she did.
"I was gonna be with you. Forever." Donna told them all her voice was wobbling and she was crying tears.
"We know." The Master told her gently.
"Rest of my life. Traveling. In the TARDIS. The Doctor Donna." Donna informed them all, the Doctor, the Master and Harry just watched Donna, their eyes full of compassion and sorrow. Donna suddenly realised what's coming.
"No! Oh my god no... I can't go back. Don't make me go back. Please, please don't make me go back to that!" Donna begged out loud speaking to them all.
"Donna. Oh, Donna Noble. I am so sorry. But we had the best of times. The best." The Doctor spoke in a gentle voice, Donna looked at the Doctor in despair.
"Goodbye" The Doctor told her moving up to her, so they were nearly touching looking at each other.
"No, no, no, please!" Donna begged out loud to the Doctor. The Doctor placed his hands on Donna’s temples and closed his eyes.
"Please, no, no!" Donna again begged out loud, images from their adventures flashed backwards, ending with the moment she first appeared in the TARDIS.
"Noooo!" Donna screamed out as she fell unconscious all the Time Lords memories of them were removed from the start of her appearing in the TARDIS in her wedding dress on the day of her wedding to Lance Bennett who was faking his feeling for her to help the Empress of the Racnoss.
“Doctor, Master you both need to know we didn’t save just this universe or this part of reality but all of reality every single universe that is in it, if Davros’ plan had worked everything in reality would be dead except the daleks, her mother and grandad need to know of her sacrifice today and what she did to ensure all the planets returned to where they should!” Harry told the Doctor and the Master looking at them both. The Doctor and the Master just nodded at Harry and the Doctor set the TARDIS for Donna's house.
Inside the Nobles household they heard Knocking on their front door. Delighted, Wilfred ran to answer it.
"That must be her! Donna?" Wilfred shouted still running to the front door but when he opened the door, he saw the Doctor and the Master holding Donna and Harry stood to the side of them they were all soaking wet with the rain that was now pouring down, the two older Time Lords stood on the doorstep, holding the still unconscious Donna in their arms.
"You!" Wilfred said as he pointed at the Doctor recognising him then Wilfred noticed Harry.
"Help us." The Doctor begged Wilfred out loud.
"Donna? Donna?" Wilfred shouted, then he brought them into the house and took them upstairs to Donna’s bedroom, Donna was laid on her bed by the Master and the Doctor. Wilfred left the Doctor, the Master and Harry alone with Donna, watching her sadly at what the Doctor had, had to do to her so she could carry on living. Eventually the three of them left Donna to rest and moved to follow Wilfred so they could explain to him and his daughter just what had happened to Donna.
In the Noble's sitting room, the Doctor told Wilfred and his daughter what happened.
"She took my mind into her own head. But that's a Time Lords consciousness. All that knowledge, it was killing her." The Doctor informed them gently.
"But she'll get better now?" Wilfred asked not understanding the situation.
"I had to wipe her mind completely. Every trace of me and us, or the TARDIS, anything we did together or individually, anywhere we went... Had to be removed from her mind." The Doctor informed them sadly knowing what this was going to do to Wilfred.
"All those wonderful things she did." Wilfred said to the three of them upset.
"I know. But that version of Donna is dead. [ The Doctor leaned forward to stress his point] Cos if she remembers, just for a second, she'll burn up and die it will kill her. You can never tell her! You can't mention us or any of it... For the rest of her life." The Doctor told them both intensely.
"But the whole world's talking about it, we traveled across space!" Donna's mother spoke up she was shocked at what her daughter had been doing she had thought traveling around the world for nothing was stupid but to actually be traveling around the universe in both Time and space was shocking to her.
"It'll just be a story. One of those Donna Noble stories, where she missed it all again." The Doctor explained to the two of them gently.
"But she was better with you three!" Wilfred spoke terribly upset at this.
"Don't say that." Donna's mother spoke annoyed.
"No, she was she was a whole different person traveling with the three of them!" Wilfred told his daughter defending Donna. Donna was a whole different person the times she had visited home and spoke to Wilfred even when Donna had phoned Wilfred to tell him what she had been up to over the last few months she would phone him at least once a week Donna was more excited and happy than Wilfred had ever seen her or heard her be over the phone.
"I just want you to know there are worlds out there, safe in the sky, because of Donna Noble. That there are people and planets living in the light, and singing songs of Donna Noble, a thousand million light years away. They will never forget her... while she can never remember. And for one moment... One shining moment... she was the most important woman in the whole of reality, she saved the whole of reality with what she helped do." The Doctor spoke with reverence they could all see it on his face and in the Doctors defense, Harry had told the Doctor and Master about the bomb Davros had created taking out the whole of reality not just the universe or even this section of reality.
"She still is. She’s, my daughter!" Donna’s mother spoke with some heat.
"Then maybe you should tell her that once in a while instead of always making her feel like nothing." The Doctor spoke with venom in his voice. The Doctor had heard what Donna's mother thought of her through the different things Harry had said about her the Doctor, he knew Wilfred loved Donna unconditionally though. The conversation broke up when Donna burst into the sitting room demanding to know what was going on with everything and wanting to know how she had slept in her bed in her clothes. Donna didn't even really give a passing notice to the Doctor, the Master or Harry in the room it was as though they weren't really there.
The Doctor tried one last time to say goodbye to Donna, but Donna just brushed the Doctor off again while talking on her mobile. The Doctor returned to the outside of the house, the other two were waiting there for him and so was Wilfred.
"Are you three going to be alright on your own? I'll watch out for you." Wilfred spoke to all three of them.
"You can't ever tell her!" The Doctor spoke with conviction.
"No, no, no. But every night, you three, when it gets dark, and the stars come out, I'll look up... On her behalf. I'll look up at the sky and think of you. Thank you, all three of you." Wilfred explained to the Doctor, the Master and Harry then he saluted them all. They all nodded back to Wilfred then turned and all three walked back to the TARDIS. Wilfred watched still saluting as the TARDIS disappeared with the breaks still on. It was now time for the explanation off Harry to the Master and the Doctor that he had promised them.
