The Last Great Time War: part III

Oncoming Storms

It was perhaps the best time of the Renegade's life. The Time Dreadnought from the battle of Kolox had recruited many other disaffected timeships, and helped hundreds of Time Lord colonies revolt and shatter Gallifrey's oppressive chains.
The New Temporal Alliance had also joined up with its member species from parallel universes, and recruited every species who was willing and able to help their cause. With this flood of growth, it had at least a galaxy's worth of strongholds throughout the cosmos, centered on the Sanctuary with the founding worlds. What was once a small but determined fleet and group of worlds was now growing to rival the Dalek and Time Lord Empires. The New Temporal Alliance were to be the new guardians of time.
Now, they were holding a grand rally to send a message to all creation. The Renegade was giving the first speech.

"My friends and allies," he said, and the crowd cheered.
"As you know, the Time Lords have asserted hegemony over time for many, many millennia. This was far from a perfect system. Although the flow of time was stabilized and there were good people involved, too much corruption and too many abuses came from this. There was far too much power in the hands of far too few people. With their supposed code of non-interference, they turned their backs on those in need while meddling in time, committing atrocities in the shadows, and interfering in the battles of other species. Sometimes their intentions were noble, but eventually this is what to the dreadful state of affairs we have today. I am sorry to say that I was a part of these events.
But now I plan to set things right, although I know it won't be easy. This is perhaps the darkest time there has ever been. Many lives have been lost, in more ways than one. Many worlds and regions are gone forever, consumed as the universes convulse under the never-ending fire. The cosmos and the vortex of time are haunted by living nightmares. Many people have even lost hope.
But I assure you, all is not lost. There are still many wonders to been seen out there, still many peaceful worlds that the War has not ruined. Still many good people left who will fight for what is right."
The crowd cheered.
"Thanks to your support, we can put an end to this madness once at for all. The iron fist of the Time Lords is already being broken. We will take Gallifrey, and reform the governing of time into a democratic system! We will force the Daleks to change and abandon their murderous ways, or else we will destroy them forever. With the cooperation of all time travelers, we can set the timelines straight again! We will have peace, and this terrible conflict will be but a memory, never to be repeated! It will have been the last of the Great Time Wars, and time will belong to everyone!"

The Renegade stepped down from the platform and listened to the thunderous applause, then to the speeches by the various other leaders of the NTA.

When he went back inside after it was all over, he found Ohila, former Head Sister of Karn, waiting for him. The one who brewed the very potion that created the Warrior who became the Renegade.

"You have done well on the path you have chosen," she said.

"I do what I must. We all do."

"There is something you must know. The New Temporal Alliance is in grave danger. The time spoke of by the Eternals is very nearly here."

"The Eternals? What do you mean? The Eternals are gone."

"The Eternals always shared their prophecies with the Sisterhood of Karn. The Children of the Howling as they called them, monsters from the void. Their influence is already felt. You must act now or they will destroy everything."

"How do you know this?"

"Your granddaughter. She has discovered the plot leading to this."

Susan walked into the room.

"You made a fine speech, grandfather. Much better than anything by Rassilon."

"Thank you. But how did get here? Shouldn't you be on Gallifrey?"

"My infiltration was successful. I am a full member of the High Council now. I was sent here with several others to spy on you."

"What? How did you get in?"

"There are traitors in your midst. But I installed a virus in the TARDISes of the other council members that ensures they won't be able to return here again."

"Thank you. We'll find and deal with the traitors, they're almost inevitable at this stage. But it doesn't matter if they were here tonight, since we broadcasted the whole thing anyway."

"There is little time," said Ohila. "Susan, tell him what you have discovered."

"Ah, yes," said the Renegade. "You must tell me of this plot. What does it have to with the creatures from the void?"

"The broadcast leads in to what I wanted to talk about. I was on Gallifrey after it was received. The spies were able to extract another piece of information as well. You must know of their plan and foil it or all may indeed be lost."
