(Angel POV)

I woke up to Koschei's arm wrapped around my naked waist. I sighed and rolled over to face him. Last night like always was, amazing, but he's holding back, I know he is. I feel as though he regrets some of things he's done. The look in his eye sometimes when he hears what's happening down there, he wont admit it but he's tired. I heard him talking to himself one night. Saying that all he wanted was to settle down with me, to have a family. He knows we can't have that hear. I kissed his cheek and got out of bed. I got dressed and wandered onto the bridge. I saw the tent my dad was kept in and walked over

"Dad!" I whispered, I watched as he crawled out of the tent. I nearly cried at the sight.

"Luna" he smiled slightly "How are you?" he asked as I sat beside him

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? I mean..." I trailed off knowing he knew what I meant. Dad put his hand over mine and lifted my chin

"This is not your fault. It's mine, should have been there for you. Maybe then you wouldn't have turned to the Master"

"You don't get it, dad! I love him. We had our first kiss on my 270th birthday. You were only there for a moment before you left. It was graduation and my birthday, dad and you didn't even ask to see me" I cried

"I'm sorry" he whispered, I stood giving him a small smile I walked over to the table and heard Koschei's voice over the overhead speakers

"Citizens rejoice. Your lord and master stands on high, playing track three."
Koschei entered the flight deck and started dancing to I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters. He sauntered up to me and kissed me deeply before dancing with me making me giggle. He ran to the bridge and rang the hand bell. I watched as my dad once again crawled out of his tent. Koschei ran down and shoved him into a wheelchair so he could roll him around. He pushed dad up to the window so he could see the butchered Earth below us.

"It's ready to rise, Doctor." Koschei grinned though it didn't quite reach his eyes "The new Time Lord Empire. It's good, isn't it? Isn't it good? Anything? No? Anything? Oh, but they broke your hearts, didn't they, those Toclafane, ever since you worked out what they really are. They say Martha Jones has come back home. Now why would she do that?" he asked
"Leave her alone." my dad growled

"But you said something to her, didn't you? On the day I took control. What did you tell her?"
"I have one thing to say to you. You know what it is." my dad said sternly
"Oh no, you don't!" Koschei exclaims as he pushes my dad away
"Valiant now entering Zone One airspace." a voice came over the loudspeaker "Citizens rejoice."
"Come on, people!" Koschei clapped his hands loudly "What are we doing? Launch Day in twenty four hours." he grabbed my hand and we left the room. We walked to our room and I sat on the bed watching as my husband paced

"Koschei what's wrong?" I frowned. I gasped when he turned, there were tears building in his eyes and he looked almost scared. I stood and gathered him in my arms, I felt him shake and I laid us both on the bed

"I don't want to do this any more. The drums are getting louder" he cried

"Shh. It's okay" I soothed, stroking his hair. I downed down at him and kissed his head.

(3rd POV)

The Doctor watched the clock on the bridge turn 14:58 Mrs. Jones glancing at it as well as Tish. The Master strolled in with Angel by his side

"Time for my massage." he said cheerfully, disguising his pain from before. He sat down after taking off his jacket and Angel stood behind with her hands on his shoulders , massaging them gently, when suddenly alarms started to blare
"Condition red!"
"What the hell?!" The Master jumped from his seat
"Repeat, condition red."
Francine threw the Master's jacket to Tish. She gave it to the Doctor who takes the laser screwdriver from the pocket and pointed it at the Master while Angel stood with her hand over her mouth
"Oh, I see." he held up his hands
"I told you. I have one thing to say." the Doctor snarled
The Master just laughed

(Angel POV)

I watched as dad tried to get the screwdriver to work

Isomorphic controls." Koschei smirked he took the screwdriver from my dad and I flinched as he punched him
"Which means they only work for me. Like this." he pointed the laser at Ms. Jones and the laser beam just missed her
"Say sorry!" Koschei barked
"Sorry. Sorry. Sorry." Ms. Jones whimpered
"Mum!" Tish cried
"Didn't you learn anything from the blessed Saint Martha?" I helped him back into his jack, he turned to face the Joneses "Siding with the Doctor is a very dangerous thing to do. Take them away."
"Move. Come on." one of the guards ordered
"Okay. Gotcha."

Koschei helped my dad into a chair as Tish and Francine were taken away.
"Oh boy. There you go, Gramps. Oh, do you know, I remember the days when the Doctor, oh, that famous Doctor, was waging a Time War, battling Sea Devils and Axons. He sealed the rift at the Medusa Cascade single handed. And look at him now. Stealing screwdrivers. How did he ever come to this? Oh yeah, me." Koschei grinned
"I just need you to listen." Dad panted
"No, it's my turn. Revenge! Best served hot. And this time, it's a message for Miss Jones."

(3rd POV)

The Master stood before a camera in the conference room, the Doctor held between tow guards and Angel sitting with her hands over her eyes
"My people." he greeted "Salutations on this, the eve of war. Lovely woman. But I know there's all sorts of whispers down there. Stories of a child, walking the Earth, giving you hope. But I ask you. How much hope has this man got? Say hello, Gandalf." he said mockingly to the Doctor "Except he's not that old, but he's an alien with a much greater lifespan than you stunted little apes. But what if it showed?" the Master started to smirk"What if I suspend your capacity to regenerate? All nine hundred years of your life, Doctor. What if we could see them?"
The Master retuned his screwdriver and zapped the Doctor again.
"Older and older and older. Down you go, Doctor. Down, down, down the years."
Finally the convulsions ended. The Doctor was no longer sitting in the wheelchair.
The Master crouched down in front of the chair while The Angel cried into her hands, unable to look

"Doctor." the Master said
A tiny creature with big eyes and a large dome like head, peered out from the otherwise empty clothes. The master looked back at the camera

"Received and understood, Miss Jones?" he asked as the broadcast ended.

The Doctor sat inside a birdcage, his eyes trained on Angel who looked dead off her feet. She had bags under her eyes and was rather pale. The doors opened and Master entered immediately going to Angel's side making sure she was alright. This surprised the Doctor, he had been watching the Master rather closely and he would say that he didn't want to do this any more.
"Tomorrow, they launch. We're opening up a rift in the Braccatolian space. They won't see us coming. It kind of scary." the Master said
"Then stop." the Doctor stated
"Once the Empire is established, and there's a new Gallifrey in the heavens, maybe then it stops. The drumming. The never ending drumbeat. Ever since I was a child. I looked into the vortex. That's when it chose me. The drumming, the call to war. Can't you hear it? Listen, it's there now. Right now. Tell me you can hear it, Doctor. Tell me."
"It's only you."
"Good." he said quietly
A sphere entered
"Tomorrow, the war. Tomorrow we rise, never to fall." it said
"You see?" he gestured to the sphere "I'm doing it for them. You should be grateful. After all, you love them so very, very much." he moved and sat at the table beside Angel "I took Angel to Utopia. I took her to see the stars. Isn't that right, sweetheart?" he grabbed her hand while looking at her worried
"Trillions of years into the future, to the end of the universe." Angel said with a dull voice making both time lords look at her with concern
"Tell him what you saw." the Master pushed softly playing with her hair
"Dying. Everything dying. The whole of creation was falling apart, and I thought, there's no point. No point to anything. Not ever."
" And it's all your fault." he smirked at the The Doctor though his smirk didn't hold as much malice as it used to, in fact if you looked close enough you would see his lip trembling slightly when you looked back at his wife. "You should have seen it, Doctor. Furnaces burning. The last of humanity screaming at the dark. All that human invention that had sustained them across the eons. It all turned inwards. They cannibalised themselves."
"We made ourselves so pretty." the female sphere said
"Regressing into children. But it didn't work. The universe was collapsing around them. My masterpiece, Doctor. A living Tardis, strong enough to hold the paradox in place, allowing the past and the future to collide in infinite majesty."
"But you're changing history. Not just Earth, the entire universe." the Doctor argued
"I'm a Time Lord. I have that right."
"But even then, why come all this way just to destroy?"
"We come backwards in time all to build a brand new empire lasting one hundred trillion years." the sphere informed
"With me as their master. Time Lord and humans combined. Haven't you always dreamt of that, Doctor? Human race, greatest monsters of them all. Night, then."

The Master helped Angel up and left the room with the sphere following.

The Master held Angel in her sleep, gazing at her sadly as she whimpered. He didn't know what was wrong with her. She had been like this for a few weeks, putting on a brave face and acting as if nothings wrong. He could feel her pain through their bond, though not just pain, despair and sorrow. He took a chance and delved into her mind as she slept. He was horrified to discover that is wife miscarried a child, their child. He didn't even know she was pregnant. He laid down and held her close, silent tear making their way down his cheeks for the loss of his unborn baby.

The Master entered the room dressed in a silk dressing gown and woke up the Doctor
Guess what." he smirked

"Citizens of Earth, rejoice and observe." the Master's voice came through the loudspeaker
Guards brought Martha in. Clive, Francine and Tish were already there on one side. and Jack on the other with Angel sitting at the table look slightly better that before. As Martha got close to the Master who was standing near his wife and the Doctor's cage, Martha gave her friend a small smile
"Your teleport device," the Master stated "in case you thought I'd forgotten."
Martha took out the vortex manipulator and tossed it to him "And now, kneel..." she did "Down below, the fleet is ready to launch. Two hundred thousand ships set to burn across the universe. Are we ready?"
"The fleet awaits your signal." a man replied "Rejoice!"
"Three minutes to align the black hole converters. Counting down!" he flicked a switch and count down started "I never could resist a ticking clock. My children, are you ready?" The Master asked
"We will fly and blaze and slice. We will fly and blaze and slice." thousands o sphere chanted

"At zero, to mark this day, the child Martha Jones, will die. My first blood. Any last words? No?" he looked at the Doctor before turning to Martha "Such a disappointment, this one. Days of old, Doctor, you had companions who could absorb the time vortex. This one's useless!" he glared at her "Bow your head. And so it falls to me, as Master of all, to establish from this day, a new order of Time Lords. From this day forward..."

Martha stared to laugh
"What. What's so funny?" the Master questioned
"A gun." Martha smirked
"What about it?"
"A gun in four parts?" she asked
"Yes, and I destroyed it." Master grinned
"A gun in four parts scattered across the world? I mean, come on, did you really believe that?" Martha scoffed
"What do you mean?" his grin falling
"As if I would ask her to kill." the Doctor grasped the bars of his cage and smiled at his daughter who looked at him and smiled back slightly
"Oh well, it doesn't matter. I've got her exactly where I want her."
"But I knew what Professor Docherty would do. The Resistance knew about her son." Martha grinned "I told her about the gun, so she'd get me here at the right time."
"Oh, but you're still going to die."
"Don't you want to know what I was doing, travelling the world?"

"Tell me."
"I told a story, that's all. No weapons, just words. I did just what the Doctor said. I went across the continents all on my own. And everywhere I went, I found the people, and I told them my story. I told them about the Doctor. And I told them to pass it on, to spread the word so that everyone would know about the Doctor."
"Faith and hope? Is that all?" the Master asked mockingly
"No, because I gave them an instruction, just as the Doctor said." Martha stood recalling the Doctor's words about the countdown "I told them that if everyone thinks of one word, at one specific time..."
"Nothing will happen. Is that your weapon? Prayer?"
"Right across the world, in word, just one thought at one moment but with fifteen satellites." Martha grinned
"What?" the Master faltered
"The Archangel Network." Jack added

"A telepathic field binding the whole human race together, with all of them, every single person on Earth, thinking the same thing at the same time. And that word is... Doctor.!"
The countdown hit zero and The Doctor and his cage started to glow.
"Stop it." he looked at him horror "No, no, no, no, you don't.!" the Master yelled and looked around
"Doctor. Doctor." Jack chanted
"Doctor." Francine closed her eyes
"Don..." the Master started but a large screen came on showing crowds of people all over the world chanting
"Doctor. Doctor. Doctor."
"Stop this right now. Stop it!"
"Doctor." Angel whispered looking at her husband sadly
"Doctor."
"Doctor."
"Doctor."
The cage burst open and The Doctor was back looking like an old man.

"I've had a whole year to tune myself into the psychic network and integrate with its matrices." the Doctor said
"I order you to stop!" the Master yelled
Crowds still chanting 'Doctor'
"The one thing you can't do. Stop them thinking." the Doctor, he levitated and changed into the normal appearance "Tell me the human race is degenerate now, when they can do this."
Martha ran to her family and hugged them
"No!" the Master fired the laser screwdriver at the Doctor, but he deflected it
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Angel whispered crying
"Then I'll kill them." the Master aimed the screwdriver at the Joneses, but The Doctor stretched out his hand and the screwdriver flew from the Master's hand.

"You can't do this. You can't do it... It's not fair!" the Master cried
"And you know what happens now." the Doctor said
"No!" the Master backed up as the Doctor floated closer to him "No! No! No!"
"You wouldn't listen..."
"No!"
"...Because you know what I'm going to say."
"No." he curled into a feral position as the Doctor walked to him and wrapped his arms around him
"I forgive you."
"My children.!" the Master yelled
"Protect the paradox. Protect the paradox. Protect the paradox." the Spheres came over the comm.,
"Captain, the paradox machine!" the Doctor ordered
"You men, with me! You stay here." Jack ran out the room with guards following
The Doctor spotted the Master activating the manipulator, and grabbed it.
"No!" he yelled and hen they were gone, only to return a few minutes later.

The ship rocked as the Paradox machine was destroyed

"Everyone get down! Time is reversing!" the Doctor yelled
The Master was hanging onto some railings with his arm around Angel and the Doctor held onto Martha's hand as a bright light filled the room and faded back to the way it was. The Doctor jumped up and ran to the controls
"The paradox is broken." he cheered "We've reverted back, one year and one day. Two minutes past eight in the morning." he flicked on the comm as the Master kissed a pale Angel's temple
"This is UNIT Central." a man came over the comm "What's happened up there? We just saw the President assassinated."
"You see?" he grinned looking around "Just after the President was killed, but just before the spheres arrived. Everything back to normal. Planet Earth restored. None of it happened. The rockets, the terror. It never was."
"What about the spheres?" Martha asked
"Trapped at the end of the universe."
"But I can remember it." Francine protested
"We're at the eye of the storm. The only ones who'll ever know..." the Doctor stopped Mr. Jones "Oh, hello. You must be Mister Jones. We haven't actually met."
The Master stood after whispering he was sorry to his wife and ran for the door just as Jack walked in.

"Whoa, big fella!" Jack grabbed him "You don't want to miss the party." he looked at one of the guards "Cuffs." he cuffed the Master and one of the guards grabbed Angel "So, what do we do with this one?"
"We kill him." Mr. Jones said and glared at him and Angel
"We execute him." Tish nodded
"No, that's not the solution." the Doctor protested
"Oh, I think so." Francine picked the gun off of the floor and aimed it at the Master. "Because all those... things, they still happened because of him. I saw them."
"Go on. Do it." the Master taunted smirking but it fell when Angel whimpered and tried to get to him
"Francine, you're better than him."
The Doctor put his hand on hers and slowly lowered the gun so he could hug her before handing her to Martha
"You still haven't answered the question. What happens to me? To her?" the Master nodded at Angel who had got the guard to let her go and was now standing beside him
"You're my responsibility from now on. The only Time Lord and Lady left in existence. Not mention my only living daughter" he stroked her hair
"Yeah, but you can't trust him." Jack said, he could trust Angel; that he knew. None of this was her fault, not that it stopped the Joneses from glaring and treating her like dirt.

"He's coming with us right...? He's my husband, I love him" Angel looked at her father pleading for him to let him come, her husband was a changed man, that didn't mean he was going to soft in front of people he basically tortured
"You mean you're just going to keep me?" the Master looked horrified at the thought, he wanted it to be him and Angel. He didn't want her dad hanging over their shoulders
"Mmm. If that's what I have to do. It's time to change. Maybe I've been wandering for too long. Now I've got someone to care for again." the Doctor grinned slightly.

Suddenly there were two gun shots and the Master and Angel stumbled into the Doctor's arms, he lay them both down gently. Jack looked over with everyone else and if he was being honest he wasn't that shocked to see Mr. Jones holding he gun, even though the man himself looked shocked
"Put it down." he growled, he had no care for the Master, but Angel was a different story
"There you go. I've got you. I've got you. Both of you" the Doctor soothed, though his mind was mostly on his dying daughter "I didn't see him"
"Dying in your arms. Happy now?" the Master asked as her crawled over to Angel and held her
"You're not dying. Don't be stupid. It's only a bullet. Just regenerate." the Doctor pleaded, the Master was still; in his mind a friend, and now he was his son-in-law
"No." the Master said firmly, his eyes on Angel who looked t him sadly
"One little bullet. Come on. For Angel" the Doctor pleaded
"I guess you don't know me so well. I refuse."
"Regenerate. Just regenerate. Please. Please! Just regenerate. Come on." Angel started to cry softly, knowing she was going to regenerate and her husband wasn't
"Promise me something" the Master demanded as he looked into his old friends eyes

"Anything" the Doctor swore as he held his daughter

"Keep her safe and happy. She lost our baby" this caused Mr. Jones and the other members of the family to lower their heads in shame. They had been cruel to someone to had lost their child and they didn't deserve it. She had done nothing to them, she was only a target because it was easier to hurt her than her husband "She needs to know happiness again"

"I promise" the Doctor let out a sob

The Master looked at his dying wife with tears streaming down his face uncaring of any who saw them.

"I love you so much, Luna" he whispered in their tongue and kissed her for the last time before looking up at her father

"How about that. I win. Will it stop, Doctor? The drumming. Will it stop?" he asked before falling silent as he took his last breath
"No!" the Doctor screamed, Angel then burst into a gold light during which she fell unconscious.

(Angel POV)

I woke up in a large bed, I looked around and noticed that I was in my room on the TARDIS. Koschei I let out a soft cry, my husband was dead, never coming back. Was it because of me? Because I lost the baby? These thought plagued my mind before I got up and looked in the mirror. I gasped, I no longer had blonde hair, I had long red hair with a full fringe, I had chocolate brown eyes and full pink lips. I took of my clothes and looked in mirror my breasts were slightly smaller they were now a size 34D, I ran my now small manicured hands over my athletic yet curvaceous body and stopped at my bum that was now rounded and firm.

I opened my wardrobe and looked at the outfit the TARDIS gave me, it was a Sleeveless Chiffon Blouse with black short shorts and black sheer tights. She also gave me a pair of lace up ankle heels and black boyfriend blazer. To finish the look she gave me a red bow tie with matching red suspenders. I paint my long nails black, put on black eyeliner and mascara and painted my lips red before I stepped out into the console room while trying my hair up into high ponytail. I walked over and the TARDIS gave a brown sonic screwdriver with a red tip. I walked out the doors slowly still recovering from my regeneration. I walked over and saw my dad talking with Jack and Martha

"Hey" I whispered making them look at me, relief over took my father's face and he hugged me tightly

"I missed you Luna" he kissed my head

"Time was," Martha said, looking around at all the people "every single one of these people knew your name. Now they've all forgotten you."
"Good." Dad nodded his arms still around me
"Back to work." Jack said ducking under a railing
"I really don't mind, though. Come with us." Dad said
"I had plenty of time to think that past year, the year that never was, and I kept thinking about that team of mine. Like you said, Doctor, responsibility."
"Defending the Earth. Can't argue with that." Dad grinned
Dad took Jack's hand and exposed his vortex manipulator on his wrist.
"Hey, I need that.!" Jack protested
"I can't have you walking around with a time travelling teleport." he soniced it "You could go anywhere, twice. The second time to apologise."
"And what about me? Can you fix that? Will I ever be able to die?" Jack asked
"Nothing I can do. You're an impossible thing, Jack." I grinned slightly making Jack beam at me
"Been called that before." he laughed "Sir. Ma'am s." he saluted us before turning but he stopped "But I keep wondering... What about aging? 'Cos I can't die but I keep getting older. The odd little grey hair, you know? What happens if I live for a million years?"
"I really don't know." Dad shrugged
"Okay, vanity." Jack laughed "Sorry. Yeah, can't help it. Used to be a poster boy when I was a kid living on the Boeshane Peninsula. Tiny little place. I was the first one ever to be signed up for the Time Agency. They were so proud of me. The Face of Boe, they called me." Dad and Martha looked at each other in stunned shock "Hmm. I'll see you." he turned and headed off, I quickly ducked under my dads arm and ran after him, my heels clicking along the pavement. Jack turned to see who it was just in time to catch me as I jumped into his arms

"Whoa!" he laughed

"Thank you. You know for listening to me that year. You didn't have too...you could have made me feel small and hurt, but you didn't. You talked to me and made me feel like not everyone was against me. So thank you" I turned to leave

but Jack pulled me back

"I'm glad I met you. You made it bearable." he laughed before handing me a bit a paper "It's my cell phone number, you know encase you need to talk about anything. Oh and here,"he also handed me a phone. It was a purple blackberry Q10 "See, Angel" he winked before kissing my cheek and leaving for good this time. I walked back to my dad see see him and Martha talking. I just caught the last part, it seemed she was leaving. I walked in and sat in the captains chair waiting for my dad. I read the instructions on how to use my phone and added Jack's number as well as the TARDIS' number. My dad walked in and kissed my head making me smile. He flicked a few switches before suddenly there was a large crash and the TARDIS shook from the impact. I looked up

"Daddy?" I looked at the large ship that was now embedded in the side of the TARDIS. Dad piked up the lifebelt with the name 'Titanic' on it

"What!?" my dad shouted and he stared at the ship in shock.

Thanks for reading once again. Angel now looks like Bella Throne and is wearing this; untitled_829/set?id=152366910
