\u201cI\u2019m still just ONE of your greatest enemies?!\u201d Miss Tarae gasped. \u201cWho\u2019s got the number one position?! Is it Davros?! It is, isn\u2019t it! Oh, I could tear his throat out!\u201d She fanned herself mockingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPerhaps I can make it up to you by listening to your story?\u201d suggested the Doctor. \u201cSuch as how you\u2019re here, for a start. Let\u2019s just say that the Toymaker took Davros\u2019 position in terms of power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, want to know if he was telling the truth about our encounter?\u201d asked Miss Tarae. \u201c\u2026Sadly, he was. I WAS a gold filling for his tooth after I lost to him. It was a simple chess match. \u2026In hindsight, he\u2019s probably played chess longer than me. I was conscious\u2026and now I\u2019m haunted by nightmares of food and saliva!\u201d Miss Tarae shuddered, then recovered. \u201cBut I have you to thank for my freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMe?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat bi-generation trick of yours, I thought it was a myth. Then the two of you ganged up on the Toymaker with a simple game of catch and banished him! But I saw an opportunity to escape! As his power over Earth unraveled, I took the opportunity to escape and forcibly claim my prize!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd that prize was?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo be the second Timeless Child, Doctor!\u201d replied Miss Tarae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou utter fool! You think I LIKE being the Timeless Child?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou might not, but I do! And once I defeat you, I will be THE Timeless Child! I will be the founder of a new Gallifrey!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo it was YOU that destroyed her home!\u201d called William. \u201cAfter all the effort she put into protecting it from those Daleks I heard about! You\u2019re as bad as the dictators of Earth!\u201d Miss Tarae snarled at that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnlike people like Hitler or Putin, I have REAL power!\u201d she hissed. \u201cAnd I will exercise that power over everyone!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo you brainwashed Eggman to do your bidding?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026No, but not for lack of trying,\u201d admitted Miss Tarae. \u201cSomehow, his mind is more\u2026resilient to my control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEgg-breath\u2019s trained himself to resist ALL forms of hypnosis,\u201d interjected Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat, I can believe, Mister Sonic. I\u2019m just surprised he can resist Gallifreyan techniques.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen you\u2019re tenuous allies, huh?\u201d guessed Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019d say dubious, but I will admit, I do like YOUR phrasing of it, Miss Rose,\u201d replied Miss Tarae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know that I\u2019ll stop your plan, whatever it is!\u201d hissed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy dear Doctor, you\u2019re going without your sonic screwdriver like you did as that celery cricket player up to that little chess player,\u201d chuckled Miss Tarae. \u201cYou\u2019ve put yourself in a much harder position. Ta ta!\u201d She sauntered off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I suppose you\u2019ll want answers about that Timeless Child stuff,\u201d muttered the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat can wait,\u201d replied William. \u201cRight now, we gotta get out of here! She\u2019s way too intelligent to fall for the Fizgig, though.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026But are the guards intelligent enough for\u2026?\u201d The Doctor stroked her chin. \u201c\u2026OH! THE PAIN!\u201d She clutched her heart on her left side! William groaned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is no way-!\u201d he protested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGUARD! HELP!\u201d called Amy. The guard turned to Amy. \u201cIt\u2019s our friend! She\u2019s having a heart attack!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut she has two hearts,\u201d droned the guard. William rolled his eyes as he played along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHer people can\u2019t survive with only one heart!\u201d he said, rather hammy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAdministering medical attention,\u201d droned the guard. It opened the Doctor\u2019s cell and entered it\u2026then she leapt onto the robot and yanked a few wires out, shutting it down. She then grabbed the robot\u2019s arm and stuck it into each cell\u2019s lock, freeing her friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026These robots are dumber than Sontarans?!\u201d spluttered William in disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m a little amazed that actually worked,\u201d mused the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe better get out of here, then!\u201d said Tails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo way, Tails!\u201d protested Sonic. \u201cI still wanna know how they met!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo do I,\u201d agreed the Doctor. She found a nearby computer console. \u201cAha! Let\u2019s see if we can find the archived monitor data.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSounds easy,\u201d remarked Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSonic, do you even know what she\u2019s talking about?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026No,\u201d Sonic admitted lamely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSecurity footage that Eggman saved,\u201d explained the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNeed any help?\u201d offered Tails. \u201cI\u2019ve hacked into his systems before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you, Tails, that would be helpful,\u201d replied the Doctor. The two technical geniuses got to work, then\u2026 \u201cAha! Found it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs\u2026Is that a production line arm?\u201d asked William once the footage popped up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo,\u201d corrected the Doctor, \u201cit\u2019s a Type 75 TARDIS, a newer model compared to my Type 40.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpecifically, Miss Tarae\u2019s Type 75 TARDIS,\u201d realized William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly, and there she is now, or then,\u201d confirmed the Doctor as Miss Tarae climbed out of the arm\u2019s base. She floofed her skirts and looked around. Eggman then entered the production line she landed in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho the heck are you?!\u201d he demanded. Miss Tarae then gave him her attention. \u201c\u2026Well?!\u201d insisted Eggman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am\u2026Miss Tarae,\u201d replied the evil Time Lord, \u201cthough I was once known as the Master.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs that right?\u201d scoffed Eggman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUniversally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, I am known as Dr. Eggman on this planet and I don\u2019t need Lolita girls pretending to be an evil dictator! Robots!\u201d Robots arrived on the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnfortunately, I have need of you, Dr. Julian Ivo Robotnik,\u201d sighed Miss Tarae in frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat did you say?\u201d hissed Eggman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDr. Julian Ivo Robotnik,\u201d repeated Miss Tarae. \u201cThat IS your real name, is it not?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow listen here, missy! Get out of Robotropolis while your mind is still your own!\u201d Miss Tarae snarled at Eggman\u2019s threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy, you insolent, primitive-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPrimitive, am I?!\u201d Eggman raised his hand to grab Miss Tarae, but she proved to be faster as she grabbed HIS hand and tore his glasses clean off his face. Her eyes then glowed amber as her gaze bore a hole into Eggman\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou will obey me,\u201d she said matter-of-factly. \u201cDo you hear? You will obey me. I am the Master and you will obey me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Obey this!\u201d Eggman pulled his head back, then jammed his nose into her eye!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cARGH!\u201d Miss Tarae rubbed her eye to try and soothe the pain. \u201cDid you just\u2026peck my eye?!\u201d The Doctor kept her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing out loud! She went a little further along the footage and Eggman and Miss Tarae were now talking to one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re telling me,\u201d said Eggman, \u201cthat all of time and space can be seized if I get another TARDIS? What are the chances of that happening?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s one particular TARDIS piloted by my old friend,\u201d explained Miss Tarae. \u201cThey always stick their noses in business like ours. All we\u2019d need to do is kidnap someone and they\u2019ll come running.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo will Sonic\u2026but that just gives me the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone!\u201d Eggman was grinning. \u201cAll we need are the Chaos Emeralds to make the machine work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd how many do you have?\u201d asked Miss Tarae. That was when a robot shaped like Sonic appeared with a fist-sized gem in his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh! Metal Sonic! Excellent! So you got Shadow\u2019s Chaos Emerald!\u201d praised Eggman. \u201cThat makes all seven!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUh oh!\u201d gulped Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cErm, guys, I just found what Eggman and Miss Tarae built,\u201d gulped Tails. He pulled up schematics for a machine suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Rassilon\u2019s pajamas!\u201d swore the Doctor. \u201cLook at the weapons capabilities! Atomic reconstruction of a living organism into a machine life form\u2026and a rewiring of the brain into a subservient mindset!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA suit with a Roboticizer!\u201d gulped Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd augmented with the Chaos Emeralds\u2019 power!\u201d finished Tails. \u201cWith the Emeralds powering the suit-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019d turn all of Mobius into his robotic playground!\u201d whispered the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith humans dying all over the place!\u201d said Amy. \u201cThe Roboticizer can\u2019t convert humans without killing them!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the alterations made by Miss Tarae, he can do more than roboticize humans!\u201d explained the Doctor. \u201cHe\u2019d roboticize entire planets! We have to stop him!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt looks like he\u2019s getting himself ready!\u201d warned Tails. \u201cCome on! Laboratory 14-87!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet\u2019s go!\u201d called Sonic. He led everyone to the lab and knocked the door down with a spin dash. Eggman was now suited up with Miss Tarae standing by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, Doctor! Sonic!\u201d cackled Eggman. \u201cCome to see my magnum opus?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re here to stop you from roboticizing the planet in one fell swoop!\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMiss Tarae, I thought you said the Doctor was a Time Lord like you,\u201d chuckled Eggman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDid I say \u2018like me\u2019?\u201d replied Miss Tarae. \u201cMy mistake. She does have a limited imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d asked Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just one planet I intend to roboticize, but all of time and space!\u201d explained Eggman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo that\u2019s why you need a TARDIS!\u201d realized the Doctor. \u201cWell, you\u2019re not getting mine!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTrue, I\u2019m not,\u201d replied Eggman. Miss Tarae arched an eyebrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026You\u2019re\u2026not?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI overheard the Doctor explain more about her TARDIS,\u201d said Sage as she appeared. \u201cThey had seen security footage of your arrival, and I heard her call her TARDIS a Type 40 and yours a Type 75. That would indicate that your TARDIS is more advanced than the Doctor\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Ah, I see,\u201d mused the Doctor. \u201cEggman, are you sure now is the best time to betray her?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s right in chiding you like that,\u201d remarked Miss Tarae. \u201cYou can\u2019t get in without the key.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, you mean THIS key?\u201d asked Eggman as he pulled out a TARDIS key. Miss Tarae sighed as she pulled out her own key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo you really think I would let a mere human have my key?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAre you sure I have the fake?\u201d chuckled Eggman. He fitted it into the lock hidden in the robot arm\u2026and opened it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWHAT THE-?!\u201d spluttered Miss Tarae. She looked at the key she had and goggled. There was a tiny figure of a soldier taped to it! \u201cHow did I-?! Dr. Julian Ivo-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not my mother; you don\u2019t have the right to full name me!\u201d snapped Eggman as he put his arm into Miss Tarae\u2019s TARDIS. \u201cSage, it\u2019s time! Chaos Tempora Mechanica!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTARDIS console sighted! Beginning conversion now!\u201d replied Sage. The Chaos Emeralds glowed and Eggman fired a beam straight at the console!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNO!\u201d shouted both the Doctor and Miss Tarae!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
