"Doctor Who: The Timeless War" - Episode 1
FADE IN:
EXT. SPACE - DAY
The TARDIS hurtles through space, spinning out of control.
INT. TARDIS - DAY
The Doctor (David Tennant) frantically works the controls as Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) braces herself.
DONNA: What's happening, Doctor?
DOCTOR: I'm not sure. The TARDIS has been pulled off course.
DONNA: Pulled off course? By what?
DOCTOR: (checking the scanners) There's some kind of temporal disturbance in the timeline.
DONNA: Temporal disturbance? Is that bad?
DOCTOR: Very bad. We need to find out what's causing it and stop it before it's too late.
The Doctor pulls a lever and the TARDIS lurches to a stop.
DOCTOR: (excitedly) We're here!
DONNA: (noticing the TARDIS doors) Here? Where's here?
DOCTOR: (smiling) Earth. London, to be precise.
The Doctor opens the doors and the pair step outside, greeted by the bustling streets of London.
CUT TO:
EXT. LONDON STREET - DAY
The Doctor and Donna walk down the street, looking around.
DOCTOR: According to the scanners, the disturbance should be somewhere around here.
DONNA: (skeptical) And what are we looking for exactly?
DOCTOR: (grinning) Anything out of the ordinary.
Suddenly, the sound of explosions and gunfire erupts in the distance.
DONNA: (alarmed) What's that?
DOCTOR: (running towards the source of the sound) That's what we're looking for. Come on!
CUT TO:
EXT. BATTLEFIELD - DAY
The Doctor and Donna arrive on a battlefield, where soldiers are fighting a strange alien race.
DOCTOR: (shocked) Daleks! But that's impossible!
DONNA: (confused) Daleks? What are Daleks?
DOCTOR: (urgently) We need to get out of here, now!
The Doctor grabs Donna's hand and they run back to the TARDIS, pursued by Daleks.
CUT TO:
INT. TARDIS - DAY
The Doctor works the controls feverishly, trying to shake off the pursuing Daleks.
DOCTOR: (to himself) This can't be happening. The Daleks were destroyed, I saw it with my own eyes.
DONNA: (concerned) Doctor, what's going on?
DOCTOR: (turning to Donna) The Daleks are back, and they've started a temporal war that threatens the entire universe.
DONNA: (in disbelief) A temporal war? That's crazy!
DOCTOR: (determined) We have to stop them, Donna. We're the only ones who can.
The Doctor pulls a lever and the TARDIS disappears into the time vortex.
FADE OUT.
EXT. PLANETARY SYSTEM - SPACE
The TARDIS materializes in the middle of a cluster of planets. The Doctor and his new companion, Ruby Sunday, emerge from the TARDIS and gaze in awe at the surrounding celestial bodies.
DOCTOR (smiling) Welcome to the planetary system of Alzarius, Ruby. A beautiful collection of planets in perfect harmony.
RUBY (looking around) It's amazing, Doctor. But where are we exactly? And why did the TARDIS bring us here?
DOCTOR (pensive) I'm not quite sure yet. The TARDIS has a habit of taking us where we need to be rather than where we want to go.
As the Doctor and Ruby explore the planetary system, they suddenly hear a voice that seems to be coming from nowhere.
DONNA (V.O) (interrupting) Hello, Spaceman! Long time no see.
The Doctor's face lights up at the sound of the familiar voice.
DOCTOR (excitedly) Donna! Where are you?
DONNA (V.O) (sounding distant) I'm afraid I can't be there in person, Doctor. I'm just a hologram. The Time Lords have created me to help you on this mission.
RUBY (perplexed) Donna? Who's Donna?
DOCTOR (looking at Ruby) She was a companion of mine. But that's a long story. Let's focus on the task at hand.
DONNA (V.O) (interjecting) Doctor, the disturbance in the timeline is caused by a group of rogue Time Lords. They are trying to change the outcome of the Timeless War.
DOCTOR (grimly) The Timeless War? That's a dangerous game to play.
RUBY (inquisitively) What's the Timeless War?
DOCTOR (sighing) It's a war that took place outside of time itself. The outcome was determined by the Time Lords, but these rogue Time Lords are trying to change that outcome, which could have devastating consequences for the universe.
DONNA (V.O) (urgently) You need to stop them, Doctor. Before it's too late.
DOCTOR (resolutely) We will, Donna. We always do.
The Doctor and Ruby rush back to the TARDIS, determined to stop the rogue Time Lords and save the universe from the catastrophic consequences of their actions.
FADE IN:
EXT. TARDIS - DAY
The TARDIS lands in the middle of a war-torn planet. The Doctor, Ruby, and Captain Jack Harkness step out of the TARDIS and are immediately met with the sight of destruction and chaos.
The sound of explosions fills the air, and the ground beneath their feet shakes with each blast.
DOCTOR (to Ruby) Stay close, Ruby. We don't know what we're dealing with yet.
They make their way through the battlefield, encountering soldiers from both sides of the war. The Doctor tries to reason with them, but they are too entrenched in their beliefs to listen.
As they continue their search, they stumble upon a secret laboratory where they discover the true cause of the Timeless War.
INT. SECRET LABORATORY - DAY
The Doctor, Ruby, and Captain Jack Harkness find themselves in a secret laboratory where they discover a group of rogue Time Lords who have been manipulating time in order to gain power and control over the universe.
DOCTOR (to Time Lord) Why are you doing this? The Time Lords have always been the protectors of time, not the manipulators.
TIME LORD We do what we must to survive. The universe is a harsh and unforgiving place, Doctor. You of all people should know that.
DOCTOR This is not the way. You're causing destruction and chaos on a massive scale. It has to stop.
The rogue Time Lords refuse to listen, and a fierce battle ensues, with the Doctor and his companions fighting against the Time Lords and their army.
Ruby proves to be a formidable ally, using her quick thinking and resourcefulness to help the Doctor and Captain Jack.
In the end, the Doctor is able to destroy the time portal, ending the Timeless War and restoring the natural flow of time.
INT. TARDIS - DAY
As they make their way back to the TARDIS, the Doctor turns to his companions.
DOCTOR Well done, both of you. You've proven yourselves to be excellent companions.
Ruby and Captain Jack smile, grateful for the opportunity to have traveled with the Doctor.
DOCTOR (settling into the pilot's seat) Where to next, then?
Ruby and Captain Jack exchange a look, excited for the adventures to come.
FADE OUT.
