Arising From the Fall [4] (The Parallel Series) ✓

The End of Time, Part Two

After stepping out of the gate the first thing the Master did was restrain and gag the Doctor bounding and strapping him upright on a trolley while the Stone was bounded to a chair next to him with chains digging into her ankles. Wilfred however was only tied by rope opposite not that far away with the Master standing between him and the bounded Time Lords.

"Now then, I've got a planet to run." The Master rubbed his hands together. "Is everybody ready?"

"Six billion, seven hundred and twenty seven million, nine hundred and forty nine thousand three hundred and thirty eight versions of us awaiting orders." Naismith-Master called onscreen making the Stones eyes widen. One Master was enough but this was just ridiculous.

The screen then changed to President-Master. "This is Washington. As President of the United States, I can transfer all the United Nations protocols to you immediately, putting you in charge of all the Earth's defences."

"UNIT HQ, Geneva reporting. All under your command, sir."

"And this is the Central Military Commission here in Beijing, sir, with over two point five million soldiers, sir. Present arms!"

"Enough soldiers and weapons to turn this planet into a warship." The Master grinned then looked at the Stone. "Well Stone are you impressed?"

"You disgust me." She hissed. "I have nothing more to say to you."

"But you can't stop me cousin." He laughed then swivled on the balls of his feet looking at the Doctor who was gagged. "Nothing to say, Doctor?" He raised a brow. "What's that?" He leant in cupping his ear. "Pardon? Sorry?"

"You let him go, you swine." Wilfred snapped.

"Oh, your dad's still kicking up a fuss." The Master joked to the Doctor as he watched him.

"Yeah? Well, I'd be proud if I was." Wilf added.

"Hush, now." The Master turned to him leaning closer placing a finger to his own lips. "Listen to your Master." He then turned to leave but stopped when a phone rang.

"But that's a mobile." The Master frowned.

"Yeah, it's mine." Wilfred said trying to hit the end call. "Let me turn it off."

"No, no, no, no, no." The Master shook his head walking over. "I don't think you understand. Everybody on this planet is me. And I'm not phoning you, so who the hell is that?"

"It's nobody. I tell you, it's nothing." Wilfred pleaded. "It's probably one of them ring-back calls." He said. The Master ignored his pleading and searched his pocket finding a revolver inside.

"Ooo, and look at this." He held it up showing the Doctor and the Stone who watched without a reaction. "Good man!" He nodded at Wilf then tossed it on the floor going to his pocket again and finding the phone reading the caller ID. "Donna. Who's Donna?"

"She's no one." Wilf said in a begging voice. "Just leave it." He asked a moment before the Master opened the phone holding it to his ear.

"Who is she?" The Master looked at Wilfred. "Why didn't she change?"

"Gramps, I can't hear you." They heard Donna through the phone.

"Well, it was this thing the Doctor did." Wilf nodded at the Time Lord. "He did it to her. The Metacrisis."

"Oh, he loves playing with Earth girls and to think that you married my cousin." He looked at the Doctor then turned to the Stone. "How in Rassilon you agreed to that with what he does I will never know. Ugh!" The Time Lady rolled her eyes in reply. Her cousin truly was an idiot.
