PROLOGUE: THE WAR DOCTOR BEGINS
The War Doctor stood on the rocky terrain of Karn, gazing at the glowing red flame held by the Sisterhood of Karn, Keepers of the Eternal Flame. He knew that their power was capable of altering his own fate and the fate of the Time War.
But there was one more obstacle in his path - Tecteun, the founder of Time Lord society and the one responsible for creating the Timeless Child. She stood before him, her expression unreadable.
"You shouldn't be here, War Doctor," Tecteun said, her voice calm and collected.
"I am here because I have no other choice," the War Doctor replied. "The Daleks are growing stronger every day, and we are losing the war."
Tecteun looked at him for a moment before sighing. "Very well. But know this, War Doctor. The Eternal Flame is not a tool to be wielded lightly."
The War Doctor nodded, and the Sisterhood of Karn began their ritual. The War Doctor closed his eyes, focusing on the power of the flame. He could feel it coursing through him, giving him the strength he needed to complete his mission.
But as he opened his eyes, he saw Tecteun standing before him once more. She raised her hand, and a blast of energy shot towards him. The War Doctor barely managed to dodge, his hand reaching for his weapon.
"You're making a mistake, Tecteun," the War Doctor said, his voice steady.
"You're the one making the mistake, War Doctor," Tecteun replied. "You think you can end the Time War, but you are only bringing about its destruction."
The War Doctor scowled, his fingers tightening around the trigger of his weapon. He fired, the shot hitting Tecteun square in the chest. But as she fell to the ground, she began to glow, and the War Doctor realized with horror that she was regenerating.
This cycle continued repeatedly, with the War Doctor killing Tecteun each time, and her regenerating once again. The Sisterhood of Karn looked on in horror as they saw the War Doctor's actions. They knew that the War Doctor was changing history, and not for the better.
Finally, the War Doctor stood over Tecteun's prone form, his weapon trained on her. "I'm sorry," he said, his voice heavy with regret. "But I have to end this."
He fired one last time, and Tecteun's regeneration energy dissipated into the air. The War Doctor felt a wave of relief wash over him as he realized that he had succeeded in his mission. The Time War was over, and the Daleks had been destroyed.
But as he looked around him, he realized that the Sisterhood of Karn was not pleased with his actions. He knew that he had made a grave mistake, and that his actions would have far-reaching consequences. The War Doctor turned and left Karn, the weight of his actions heavy on his heart.
CHAPTER 1: HERE WE GO AGAIN
The War Doctor had retired to a quiet corner of the universe, far from the horrors of the Time War. He had seen too much, done too much, and now sought solace in solitude. For years, he had lived in a small cottage on a remote planet, tending to his garden and keeping to himself.
But one day, a knock came at his door. The War Doctor hesitated, wondering who it could be. He had few friends left in the universe, and he preferred it that way.
When he opened the door, he was surprised to see a young woman standing before him. She was dressed in a long coat, with wild hair and a mischievous grin. The War Doctor recognized her immediately as the Doctor, his future self.
"I thought I'd find you here," she said, pushing past him into the cottage. "I need your help."
The War Doctor was taken aback. "What could you possibly need from me?"
The Doctor gestured to a nearby chair. "Can we sit down?"
The War Doctor hesitated, but then reluctantly sat down opposite her.
"I need your help with the Time Lords," the Doctor said, her expression serious. "They've gone rogue, and they're planning to destroy the universe."
The War Doctor frowned. "I thought the Time Lords were all dead."
"They were," the Doctor said. "But they found a way to escape the Time War. And now they're up to no good."
The War Doctor leaned back in his chair, considering her words. He had no love for the Time Lords, but he didn't want to see the universe destroyed either.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked.
"I need you to help me track them down," the Doctor said. "You're the only one who knows their tricks."
The War Doctor hesitated, but then nodded. "Fine. I'll help you."
The Doctor grinned. "Great. Let's get to work."
And so, the War Doctor came out of retirement to help his future self save the universe once again. It was a daunting task, but he was determined to do his part.
CHAPTER 2: THE WAR DOCTOR AND ADRIC IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE TIME WAR
The War Doctor materialized his TARDIS on the planet Alzarius, his heart heavy with the knowledge that he had to fight in the Time War, a conflict that would tear apart the fabric of time and space. As he stepped out of the TARDIS, he was surprised to see a young man waiting for him. It was Adric, the boy from E-Space who had sacrificed himself to save the Earth.
"Doctor," Adric said, "I heard you were coming. I've been waiting for you."
The War Doctor looked at Adric with a mix of confusion and sadness. "How did you know I was coming?"
"I've been following your journey," Adric said. "I know what you have to do in the Time War. I want to help you."
The War Doctor was taken aback by Adric's offer. He had always been a solitary figure, and the idea of having a companion in the Time War seemed impossible. But there was something about Adric's determination that gave him hope.
"Very well," the War Doctor said. "But you must be prepared. The Time War is unlike anything you've ever seen before."
Together, the War Doctor and Adric traveled through the Time War, fighting Daleks, Cybermen, and other foes that threatened the very fabric of the universe. Adric proved to be a valuable ally, his intelligence and quick thinking helping the War Doctor navigate the treacherous landscape of the Time War.
But as time went on, the War Doctor began to realize the true cost of the conflict. He had seen too much death, too much destruction. The Time War was consuming him, and he knew he could not continue on this path forever.
One day, as they stood on the surface of a shattered planet, the War Doctor turned to Adric. "We cannot keep fighting like this," he said. "We must find another way."
Adric nodded, his expression somber. "I know," he said. "But what other choice do we have?"
The War Doctor looked out at the devastation around them, his mind racing. And then, suddenly, he had an idea. "We must find the Moment," he said. "The weapon that can end the Time War."
Adric's eyes widened in shock. "But Doctor, the Moment is a myth. No one knows where it is."
"I do," the War Doctor said. "I have a plan. But it will require all of our cunning and skill."
Together, the War Doctor and Adric set off on a dangerous quest to find the Moment. They battled through Dalek strongholds and avoided Time Lord patrols, all the while keeping their true mission a secret.
Finally, they arrived at the location of the Moment, a forgotten planet on the edge of the universe. As they entered the ancient temple that housed the weapon, they were met with a powerful presence. It was the Moment, a sentient weapon with the power to destroy entire galaxies.
The War Doctor stepped forward, his heart heavy. "We must end the Time War," he said. "But we cannot do it alone. We need your help."
The Moment considered him for a moment, and then spoke. "What is it you wish of me?"
The War Doctor took a deep breath. "We wish to use your power to end the conflict. To save the universe from destruction."
The Moment was silent for a moment, and then spoke again. "Very well," it said. "But be warned. The power of the Moment comes at a great cost. Are you prepared to pay it?"
The War Doctor looked at Adric, and then back at the Moment. "We are," he said.
CHAPTER 3: THE WAR DOCTOR AND LIZ SHAW
The War Doctor was weary, his eyes heavy with the weight of his burden. He had fought in the Time War for so long, seen so much devastation and destruction, that he wondered if he would ever know peace again. But there was still work to be done, still battles to be fought, and so he pressed on.
As he moved through the burning ruins of a once-great city, he heard a familiar voice. "Doctor?" it called out. He turned to see Liz Shaw, his old friend and companion from his third incarnation, standing amidst the rubble.
"Liz," he said, a hint of surprise in his voice. "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing," she replied, her eyes scanning the devastation around them. "But I think I already know the answer. You're fighting the Time War."
The War Doctor nodded grimly. "Yes. And I fear it may never end."
Liz nodded in agreement. "But we can't give up hope, Doctor. We have to keep fighting for what's right."
The War Doctor gave her a small smile. "You always did have a way of seeing the best in people, Liz."
They stood in silence for a moment, the weight of the war heavy upon them. But then Liz spoke up again. "You know, Doctor, I always wondered what became of you after you left UNIT. I never expected to see you like this."
The War Doctor looked away, his face clouded with regret. "I never expected it either, Liz. But sometimes...sometimes the only way to do the right thing is to make a terrible sacrifice."
Liz nodded slowly. "I understand. And I'm here to help you, Doctor. Whatever you need."
The War Doctor looked at her, his eyes filled with a fierce determination. "Thank you, Liz. I may need all the help I can get before this war is over."
And together, they moved forward into the heart of the Time War, determined to fight for what was right, no matter the cost.
CHAPTER 4: TECTEUN RETURNS
As the Time War raged on, the War Doctor found himself facing off against Tecteun, the ancient Time Lord who had been responsible for the creation of the Time Lords and the first incarnation of the Doctor, the Timeless Child. Tecteun had allied herself with the Daleks, seeking to end the Time War in their favor.
The War Doctor and Tecteun had clashed many times before, with neither gaining a clear advantage over the other. Their battles were epic and brutal, with entire worlds being destroyed in their wake.
But one day, the War Doctor had had enough. He knew that Tecteun was too dangerous to be allowed to continue her plans, and so he resolved to put an end to her once and for all.
Their final battle took place on a barren planet, where the War Doctor and Tecteun faced each other across a desolate wasteland. As they began to fight, the War Doctor knew that this was his chance to finally end the Time War and save countless lives.
With every ounce of his strength, the War Doctor unleashed a devastating attack on Tecteun, but she managed to deflect it with her own power. The two of them continued to clash, each determined to emerge victorious.
But as the battle dragged on, the War Doctor began to realize that he couldn't defeat Tecteun using conventional means. He needed to think outside the box if he was going to succeed.
And so, the War Doctor began to use the power of the Time Vortex itself, manipulating time and space in ways that Tecteun could not anticipate. With every move he made, he pushed the limits of his own abilities, becoming more and more powerful with each passing moment.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity of battle, the War Doctor emerged victorious. Tecteun lay defeated at his feet, her power drained and her body broken.
But even in defeat, Tecteun was not done. As the War Doctor turned to leave, she reached out and attempted to grab him, hoping to take him down with her.
But the War Doctor was too quick for her. He grabbed her wrist and, with one swift motion, broke it. Tecteun screamed in pain, and the War Doctor knew that she was finished.
As he walked away from the broken body of his foe, the War Doctor knew that he had done what he had to do. He had saved countless lives, and in doing so, he had become a legend in his own time.
CHAPTER 5: THE WAR DOCTOR, PERI, AND KING YRCANOS
The War Doctor had seen many terrible things during the Time War, but he had never expected to find himself working alongside a warrior king from a distant planet. But when the Daleks unleashed a new weapon capable of destroying entire star systems, the Time Lords had no choice but to reach out to King Yrcanos for help.
Peri, who had been travelling with the Sixth Doctor and Yrcanos before being caught up in the Time War, found herself once again fighting by the side of the boisterous warrior. As they made their way through the twisted corridors of a Dalek battle station, the War Doctor kept a watchful eye on both of them, knowing that one misstep could mean the end for all of them.
Despite their differences, the three of them made a formidable team. Yrcanos wielded his massive battle-axe with deadly accuracy, while Peri relied on her knowledge of the Daleks' weaknesses to disable their weapons and defenses. And the War Doctor, with his centuries of experience and tactical genius, coordinated their attacks with a precision that left their enemies reeling.
As they fought their way deeper into the Dalek base, they came face to face with a group of Dalek scientists working on the new weapon. Without hesitation, Yrcanos charged forward, his axe swinging in a deadly arc. But the Daleks were ready for them, and a hail of laser fire forced them to take cover.
Peri quickly assessed the situation and spotted a weakness in the Daleks' energy shields. With a shout of encouragement, she urged Yrcanos to aim for that spot, and the king's axe found its mark, shattering the shields and leaving the Daleks vulnerable to attack.
In the chaos that followed, the War Doctor led the charge, his sonic screwdriver blazing as he disabled the Daleks' weapons and communications. With their foes incapacitated, the trio made their way to the heart of the base, where they found the new weapon, a massive device capable of unleashing a wave of destruction that would wipe out entire galaxies.
With no time to waste, the War Doctor quickly set to work, using his sonic screwdriver to override the weapon's controls and disable it. As he worked, Peri and Yrcanos stood guard, fighting off any Daleks who tried to interfere.
Finally, the War Doctor stepped back, his face grim but triumphant. "It's done," he said. "The weapon is deactivated."
As they made their way back to their TARDIS, the War Doctor couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He had saved countless lives by stopping the Daleks' new weapon, but he knew that the Time War was far from over. And with companions like Peri and Yrcanos by his side, he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
CHAPTER 6: THE WAR DOCTOR AND HARRY SULLIVAN
The War Doctor stood alone in the midst of the Time War, his eyes scanning the desolate battlefield for any sign of his enemies. He was tired, both physically and mentally, but he knew that he had to keep going. The fate of the universe was at stake, and he was the only one who could stop it.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice behind him. "Hello, Doctor," Harry Sullivan said, approaching him with caution.
The War Doctor turned around, surprised to see his old friend. "Harry! What are you doing here?"
"I heard you could use some help," Harry replied, his eyes scanning the battlefield with a mix of fear and determination.
The War Doctor smiled, grateful for the company. "I could always use a good assistant."
Together, the two of them charged forward into battle, their weapons at the ready. They fought side by side, taking down Daleks and Time Lords alike with skill and precision. The War Doctor was impressed by Harry's bravery and resourcefulness, and he knew that he couldn't have gotten this far without him.
As they fought, the War Doctor couldn't help but reflect on the past. He remembered his time on Earth with Harry, their adventures together, and the deep friendship they had formed. He had always admired Harry's compassion and selflessness, and he was glad to see that those traits were still present even in the midst of war.
Eventually, they reached the heart of the Time War, a swirling vortex of energy that threatened to consume them both. The War Doctor knew that this was it - the moment he had been dreading, the moment that would decide the fate of the universe.
He turned to Harry. "Thank you, my friend. For everything."
Harry nodded, his eyes filled with determination. "It's been an honor fighting alongside you, Doctor."
With that, the two of them charged into the vortex, their bodies engulfed in a blinding light. The War Doctor knew that this was the end - he would never see Harry or any of his other friends again.
But he was at peace. He had done what he had to do, and he had done it with the help of a true friend. And in that moment, as he hurtled towards his fate, the War Doctor was content.
CHAPTER 7: THE WAR DOCTOR AND COMPASSION
The War Doctor stood in the midst of the Time War, surrounded by the chaos and destruction that seemed to define it. He had seen too much of it, and he was weary. He wished there was a way out of it, a way to stop it all.
It was then that Compassion appeared beside him, a TARDIS with a mind of its own. She had been his companion in many of his battles, and he trusted her more than he trusted anyone else.
"War," she said, her voice filled with concern. "What are you going to do?"
He looked at her, his expression grim. "I have to end this, Compassion. I have to do what needs to be done."
She shook her head. "But at what cost? The cost of all those lives? Of Gallifrey itself?"
"I know," he said, his voice low. "But there is no other way. I have to destroy them all, so that the rest of the universe can survive."
Compassion was silent for a moment, and then she said, "I understand. But remember that you are not alone, War. I will be with you until the end."
The War Doctor nodded, grateful for her words. He knew that he could not do this alone. He had always needed someone by his side, whether it was his companions or his TARDIS.
Together, they went out into the heart of the Time War, fighting against the Daleks and the Time Lords, doing whatever they could to protect the innocent. It was a hard and terrible fight, but they persevered.
In the end, it was the War Doctor who made the decision to destroy Gallifrey. Compassion was with him, holding him as he activated the Moment, the device that would cause the destruction.
As the planet was consumed by fire and ash, the War Doctor closed his eyes, feeling the weight of his decision heavy upon him. Compassion held him close, whispering words of comfort.
When it was all over, they went back to their TARDIS and set off into the stars. They had done what they had to do, but the cost had been high.
The War Doctor knew that he would never forget the things he had seen, the things he had done. But he was grateful to have had Compassion by his side, and he knew that together they would face whatever came next.
CHAPTER 8: THE WAR DOCTOR AND RIVER SONG
River Song had always been a wild card, unpredictable and impulsive, but the War Doctor admired her spirit and determination. Together, they fought in the Time War, traveling through the universe to stop the Daleks and protect the innocent.
As the war raged on, they found solace in each other's company, and their admiration grew into something more. They settled down on a remote planet and got married, and soon, they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Lyra.
Their life was peaceful for a time, but the Time War was never far from their minds. The War Doctor knew that it would take a drastic measure to end the conflict, and he began to work on a plan to destroy Gallifrey, the source of the Daleks' power.
River was torn between her love for her husband and her loyalty to the Time Lords, but ultimately, she stood by his side. They had two more children, a son named Marcus and another daughter named Cassie, and they raised them with love and care.
But their idyllic life was shattered when the time came to put the plan into action. The War Doctor, with River by his side, used the Moment to destroy Gallifrey and end the Time War. The act was necessary, but it weighed heavily on their hearts.
They returned to their quiet life on the remote planet, but the guilt and pain of their actions never left them. They continued to raise their children and protect the universe, but the memory of the Time War haunted them until the end of their days.
CHAPTER OF WAR: CLOSING
As the War Doctor sat in his quiet home, he reflected on his long and tumultuous life. He had fought countless battles, seen unimaginable horrors, and made unthinkable sacrifices. He had done what he had to do to end the Time War, but at a great cost to himself and to the universe.
As he closed his eyes and took his final breath, he was at peace with his decisions. He knew that he had saved countless lives, even if it had meant destroying his own planet and his own people. He knew that he had been the necessary sacrifice, the one who had taken on the burden of ending the war so that others wouldn't have to.
The War Doctor's legacy would live on, remembered as the one who had done what was needed to protect the universe. And although he had died alone, he knew that he was surrounded by the love and respect of those who had known him, those who had fought alongside him, and those who had been inspired by his bravery and sacrifice.
In the end, the War Doctor's story was not one of violence and destruction, but of hope and selflessness. He had given everything he had to protect the universe, and for that, he would always be remembered as a hero.
The War Doctor lay on his bed, surrounded by his family. He looked around at his children with River Song, his grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, all gathered around him. He felt the weight of his long life and the many sacrifices he had made, but also the joy of the love he had shared with River and the family they had built together.
As he took his final breaths, he knew that he had fulfilled his duty to the universe. He had done what was necessary to end the Time War and save countless lives. But he also knew that he had not done it alone. He had the love and support of his family and friends, and that made all the difference.
As he closed his eyes for the last time, the War Doctor felt at peace. He knew that his legacy would live on through his children and their children, and that the universe would continue to be a better place because of the sacrifices he had made. And he knew that he would always be remembered as a hero, a warrior, and a father.
