The screen fades in, revealing the Master standing before the Doctor, who is tied to a chair.
MASTER: "You always thought you were special, didn't you, Doctor? The last of the Time Lords, the one who could save the universe. But it turns out, you're not so unique after all."
DOCTOR: "What are you talking about?"
MASTER: "I'm talking about the Timeless Child, Doctor. Except, it wasn't you. It was me."
The Doctor's eyes widen in shock.
DOCTOR: "What? That's impossible!"
MASTER: "Is it? You see, I was the one who was experimented on by the Time Lords all those years ago. I was the one who was given the gift of regeneration. And then, they wiped my memory clean, just like they did to you."
The Doctor struggles against the ropes binding them to the chair.
DOCTOR: "But why? Why would they do that?"
MASTER: "Because they were afraid, Doctor. Afraid of what we could become if we had access to all of our past lives, all of our memories. They thought they could control us by limiting our regenerations. But they were wrong. They only made us stronger."
The Master walks towards the Doctor, a wicked grin on their face.
MASTER: "And now, I have access to all of my past lives. All of my memories. I am the Timeless Child, and I am unstoppable."
The Doctor stares at the Master, fear and confusion etched on their face.
DOCTOR: "But why tell me this? Why not keep it to yourself?"
MASTER: "Because, Doctor, I wanted to see the look on your face when you realized the truth. I wanted to break you, just like they broke me. And now, I have. Goodbye, Doctor."
The Master raises their weapon, ready to strike. But before they can, the Doctor breaks free of the ropes and launches themselves at the Master. The two Time Lords engage in a fierce battle, each determined to come out on top.
As the fight rages on, the Doctor's memories begin to flood back. They remember all of their past lives, all of the pain and the joy they've experienced. And then, they remember something else.
DOCTOR: "The Timeless Child wasn't just one person, was it? It was all of us. Every Time Lord who ever existed, every regeneration, every memory. We are all the Timeless Child."
The Master pauses, stunned by the Doctor's revelation.
MASTER: "But how... how is that possible?"
DOCTOR: "I don't know. But it doesn't matter. What matters is that we are not just one person, or even two. We are an entire race, and we are powerful."
The Doctor and the Master continue to fight, but the Doctor gains the upper hand. They disarm the Master and hold them at gunpoint.
DOCTOR: "I'm not going to kill you, Master. But I am going to stop you. I'm going to stop you from ever hurting anyone again."
The Doctor steps back, lowering their weapon. The Master stares at them, a mixture of anger and fear in their eyes.
MASTER: "You may have won this time, Doctor. But I will be back. And when I am, you won't be so lucky."
The Master disappears, leaving the Doctor alone in the empty room. The Doctor takes a deep breath, feeling the weight of their newfound knowledge. They are the Timeless Child. And with that power comes responsibility.
