An old game Part 4 - Secret Relationship
Part 3:
Looking for a Key Part 3 - Secret Relationship The first use of the Time Scoop caught Pluto by complete surprise. The second use made her pause. 'It is outside of the Solar System, but why are the Gallifreyans using it again? I thought Rassilon ended the games.'
When the Time Scoop came to the Earth, Pluto tried to stop it, but it slipped out too quickly. The second time she missed, she realized who was being taken. 'The Doctor? Who is taking the previous incarnations of the Doctor?' As the third incarnation slipped out of her trap, she tried to trace it to its origin. 'Surely the time lords know better than to put all the incarnation of one person together. That could cause....' The fourth incarnation started to slide by. Pluto used her staff to push it into an eddy in the time stream. The scoop became stuck. 'At least one incarnation of him is safe. But the others have to be rescued.' A glance at her computer screen showed that the fifth incarnation was still at the eye of Orion. 'He needs to get to where the others are, or he will fall apart. But...but...he deserves the rest, too.' Even as she watched, a time scoop picked up the TARDIS. She stopped herself from saving it.
Turning abruptly away from the monitor, she searched the time stream. She was completely unsurprised when she spotted the Master's TARDIS heading for Gallifrey. 'Where one goes, the other soon follows. The Doctor and the Master have been chasing each other around time and space for quite awhile now.' The only part that surprised her was that he didn't land in the Death Zone, but in the main city.
Slowly she turned about and she peered into an old looking glass. Resting her fingers against the sides, she activated the old Gallifrey monitoring system. With a feeling of dread, she looked down into the Death Zone on Gallifrey. 'Where is he?' She adjusted the field of view. 'Where are the Doctors? Hold on, what was that?' She paused for a moment, bringing the creature into view. The dread coalesced into fear in the pit of her stomach. "A Raston Warrior Robot. I wonder what other creatures were brought into the zone?" Flipping through the other fields of view, she spotted the four incarnations of the Doctor, Cybermen, a Dalek, a Yeti, and lots of the Doctor's old companions, including his granddaughter. "Someone is playing Rassilon's game. Maybe I shouldn't have blocked the fourth incarnation. They might need him."
Pluto pushed an ornately carved button on the looking-glass' stand. "Rassilon! Rassilon, I know you can hear me!"
Rassilon's face swam into view in the glass. "Sailor Pluto. It has been a long time. You look same as always."
Pluto clamped down on her impatience. "Thank you. You are looking well, too. Your time scoop was just used to carry creatures into the Death Zone. I didn't think Cybermen or Daleks were allowed."
Rassilon nodded with a slight smile. "Cybermen and a Dalek? I do not like them being used, but it is not specifically against the rules. Since President Borusa has started to play my game, he is able to chose what ever creatures he wants. However, you blocked one of the players from reaching the Death Zone. I thought we had agreed that you would not interfere with this, unless it involved your royal family. You know the purpose of Rassilon's Game."
Pluto held back her grimace of distaste. "Yes, I know, and I did agree. But Borusa was pulling in five different incarnation of the same time lord. I was not sure even the Death Zone could handle the meeting of the same person, but from different periods of time."
Rassilon frowned. "He pulled in different incarnations of the same time lord?"
Pluto dipped her head confirmation. "Yes, he tried to pull in all the incarnations of the Doctor known to him."
Rassilon frown deepened. "Thanks. That could be troublesome. I shall keep the shock wave of their meeting from leaving the zone." His image faded from the glass.
Fiddling with the controls a moment more, Pluto set up the looking glass to split the field of view so that she could watch all five of the Doctors at one time. Settling down in a seat, she watched the game as she used to do so long ago, but this time she watched it with dread for the main player was a friend.
