POV Ceris 

a month had passed since the war with the Nether ended a month since I returned. I didn't know what was next, I have already begun to rebuild the end spire. but something was wrong, I felt more alone than ever, over the course of the last few days I had been reminded of the death of my mother, the farther I never meet.

at one point I even considered raiding the overworld again, but this thought left me quickly as I did have friends now in the overworld. then there was the timelord, the doctor, who help us finally to stop Naeus. and as I thought of the man I had met then and the glimpse of the man who I'd seen the day my mother died. 

I decided I needed a short break, the Nether had destroyed the end spire, but my room had suffered little to no damage, and so I sat on my bed, picking up the book I had taken from the doctor's TARDIS, "the war of the worlds," I read the title before I could turn to the first page, a loud sound could be heard, and I recognized it immediately.

in front of me, the TARDIS appeared. the old police box stood there for a moment before the doors opened. it wasn't the velvet wearing doctor nor the doctor in the coats of many colours, no the man wore a cream coat, with a bit of celery attached, although I didn't know that what it was called at the time, he had cream and red striped trousers on, he had a white sweater on with a red collar, a white shirt with question marks on the collar, he had blonde short hair, and child's face, he looked younger than both the doctors she had met.

"This doesn't happen to new york does it?" the man asked, I took a few steps closer, being within a few steps of the open doors of the TARDIS.

"Are you the doctor?" I asked.

"yes," the doctor said half confused.

"don't you know me?" I asked.

the doctor shook his head, "Should I know you?" He asked.

"do you know where you are?" I asked, the doctor looked around and out of a window in my room, at the starless void.

"oh somewhere I really shouldn't be," the doctor said, the doctor went to take a few steps out and away from the TARDIS but something stopped him, "the TARDIS, her shields, why wouldn't she let me out," as the doctor finished, louder church bells came from the TARDIS, "oh dear, quickly in the TARDIS now," He said.

"what?" I asked caught off guard.

"Your life could depend on it," The doctor called from the console room.

soon enough I followed, I was shaken at what I found, the console room was entirely different, from the grand gothic castle elastic of the 8th doctor's TARDIS was gone, I enjoyed that version much better. now replaced by a smaller room, with white panelled walls with circles that seemed to glow a bright white, an open screen showing the backside of her room.

"well are you going to say it?" the doctor asked looking over his controls of the TARDIS.

"it's small than I was expecting and more white," I answered. 

"really? most people say it bigger," the doctor said, the TARDIS shook. "Ahh, the timeline is being rewritten, I can track it back to its source," the doctor said.

"wait? If the timeline is changing what about my people?" I asked.

"gone, in fact, the change of the timeline occurred both in the present and the past, it made an island of correct time, and Oh dear," the doctor stopped.

"I understood none of that," I replied, the TARDIS shook and made its landing sound, and in the middle of a room, a man appeared, the doctor looked up from the controls.

"whoops, I think I just land around someone," The doctor said.

"what? where am I? what is this place?" the man asked, he had brown hair and wearing a grey bandanna around his mouth, he had a dual brown jacket over a black T-shirt, and black fingerless gloves.

"Umm sorry about this, I may have landed my ship on you," the doctor answered.

"I know you," the man said turning me.

"Daryll?" I asked unsurely.

"you two know each other?" the doctor asked looking back down to his controls.

"Last I heard the end was raised to the ground by the Nether, that you were capture or dead," Daryll said.

"Ahh, yes, well she from your world in about 6 months maybe a year, the TARDIS is a bit unsure," the doctor said.

"Have we won?"Daryll asked hopefully.

"WAIT!! the Doctor yelled looking up at us both. "don't answer that, it's dangerous for him to know his future it could break the web of time," The doctor said.

"the web of time?" Daryll questioned.

"Look your entire timeline is being rewritten, you two are now that's left of the original timeline, and I'm trying to figure out what's changed it," The doctor said.

"Who even are you? and what this is place?" Daryll asked.

"This is my TARDIS, she is a ship that travels through time and space, And I'm the doctor, and if you don't mind I'm concentrating, something is dragging us a few years into this corrupted future," The Doctor said, the TARDIS shook and Daryll lost his footing landing on the control, the Doctor didn't even have a chance to say watch out before the TARDIS crashed.

I tumbled forward. knocking into the doctor, While he tried to regain control, we both smashed into the wall. Daryll tried to stand, pressing down a bunch of buttons on the controls. the TARDIS groan. and the control room flipped.

 I tried to Teleport to avoid smashing into the controls. unable to teleport, I smashed into the controls, the Doors of the TARDIS opened, I was the only one near the doors, I felt the pull of the Overworld, losing my grip on the controls, I fell out of the door.

"NO!" I heard the Doctor yell, as I was falling, I saw the blue box disappear, I flipped in the air. seeing the ground, I was miles up, falling towards a dead forest,  I closed my eyes and focused on Teleporting.
