*One year later*
"Citizens rejoice. Your lord and master stands on high, playing track three" the Master enters the flight deck and starts dancing to I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters. He goes up to Lucy, kisses her and they dance together, the Seer sits on her knees looking at the floor, her wrists cuffed together.
"I can't decide whether you should live or die. Though you'll probably go to Heaven, please don't hang your head and cry. No wonder why my heart feels dead inside. It's cold and hard and petrified. Lock the doors and close the blinds, we're going for a ride. Oh, I could throw you in a lake or feed you poisoned birthday cake. I won't deny I'm going to miss you when you're gone" Francine the maid serves tea. The Master rings a ships bell the Seer lifts her head slightly to see the Doctor crawling out of his straw-strewn tent. The Master forces him into a wheelchair and then walks over kneeling in front of the Seer.
"I don't think I've said this enough over the last year, but you've grown so much" he says placing his hand on her cheek she recoils slightly "no, I won't hurt you" he whispers lifting her head up to meet his eyes, she has dark circles under her eyes, and her once bright eyes now dull "You know I'd never hurt you."
"Well, you already have" I say my voice gravely, due to me not speaking as much for over a year, he helps me stand and walks over to the Doctor taking them for a walk/push around the deck.
"It's ready to rise, Doctor. 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?" The Master asks, the Doctor looks up at me who stood beside them with my head down, I got skinnier.
"Leave her alone" the Doctor says.
"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."
"Oh no, you don't!" The Master pushes the Doctor's wheelchair away leaving me standing where I was, I stumble a bit, the Master looks between the Doctor and me.
"Valiant now entering Zone One airspace. Citizens rejoice."
"Come on, people! What are we doing? Launch Day in twenty-four hours" the Master shouts walking away I hold three fingers out. The Doctor repeats it to Francine who repeats it to Clive, who is mopping the deck in a corridor. He passes the signal on to Tish, who is also a maid, as she takes a meal to a prisoner.
*Time skip*
14:58, according to the chronometer up on the bridge. The Doctor, Francine and Tish are there, The Master enters the flight deck, with me beside him.
"Time for my massage. Who shall I have today? Tanya. Come on, sweetheart. Lucy, have you met Tanya? She's gorgeous. Tanya, when we go to the stars, I'm going to take you to the Catriga Nova. Whirlpools of gold" the Master says, I walk past the Doctor, giving him a small glance before sitting down on the floor with my back to him "you two should get to know each other. That might be fun" the Master says as Tanya massages his shoulders.
"Condition red."
"What the hell?" The Master stands
"Repeat, condition red" Francine throws the Master's jacket to Tish. She gives it to the Doctor who takes the laser screwdriver from the pocket and points it at the Master, I turn to watch.
"Oh, I see."
"I told you. I have one thing to say" the Doctor says as the Master laughs. The Doctor can't get the laser screwdriver to work.
