It had been a few days in the TARDIS since the Doctor and her crew retrieved the first segment of the Key to Time. Rassilon had just gotten up and put her dress on, pinning her hat to her hair when she finished. She grabbed her parasol and strode to the console room. As usual, the Doctor was tinkering with the console\u2019s internal mechanisms. \u201cMust you constantly fiddle with the TARDIS?\u201d asked Rassilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know me,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cAlways tinkering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, it\u2019s working perfectly right now,\u201d argued Rassilon. \u201cYour constant manipulations make it land somewhere other than where you want it to go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, that\u2019s been a staple of the Type 40\u2019s. Besides, the old girl likes it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s necessary to-!\u201d The console beeped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, that would be the tracer, finally locating the second segment,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cCould you rouse Amy and William, Rassy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou will address me as Rassilon, Doctor!\u201d hissed Rassilon. \u201cAnd I\u2019m not your maid!\u201d She still stormed off to Amy and William\u2019s bedrooms while the Doctor checked the instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Oh\u2026\u201d she said. \u201c\u2026It\u2019s there. \u2026Well, that\u2019s alarming. Didn\u2019t want to go to THEIR territory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The TARDIS landed in a darkened room. The only light was from the lamp at the top as it flashed until the TARDIS fully materialized in the room. The crew then stepped out with Rassilon pointing the tracer in front. \u201cCan\u2019t you let others try it?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was entrusted with it, I\u2019ll use it, thank you,\u201d replied Rassilon. The tracer crackled. \u201c\u2026It\u2019s somewhere in this building, we know that. \u2026But where?\u201d At that moment, they heard voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m telling you,\u201d said one, \u201cthat radar has to be around here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, are you absolutely sure about that?\u201d asked another. \u201cLady Bulma wasn\u2019t particularly sure of where she put it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, where else would you put the important stuff?\u201d asked the first voice. \u201cIt\u2019s where Chi Chi puts our money stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou mean the tax forms? I\u2019m pretty sure there\u2019s a file cabinet in there, though I\u2019ve never-.\u201d The two speakers then entered the room. One was a muscular man in an orange and navy fighting suit with no sleeves and black, messy hair, the other was a pale-blue skinned man with long white hair pulled up, burgundy robes with a black collar, and a large, blue ring floating around his neck. The Doctor and Rassilon goggled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, is that-?!\u201d asked Rassilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSure looks like one!\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, this is certainly a surprise,\u201d chuckled the pale-blue man. \u201cJust who, pray tell, are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhis, is that really you?!\u201d asked Rassilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026You know my name, Madame?\u201d quizzed the man. He then looked at the brooch and hat pin Rassilon wore. \u201c\u2026Ah, it\u2019s been a while since I read Circular Gallifreyan. \u2026Wait, why, madame, do you have that madman\u2019s name on your hat pin?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhis, it\u2019s me! You know, the one who spoke to you about the Time War\u2019s end, though how you said it was undefined.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, so it IS you, Rassilon,\u201d sighed Whis. \u201cThe only reason I said that was because of a Time Lock that was erected during the last day of the Time War. Why did you set that up?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe didn\u2019t,\u201d answered the Doctor. \u201cI did. I thought I was destroying Gallifrey at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cErm, scuse me!\u201d called the other man. \u201cSorry, little lost here. Um, Whis, how do you know them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, they\u2019re Time Lords from the lost planet of Gallifrey,\u201d replied Whis. \u201cAt least, that\u2019s the case for two of them. Though I can\u2019t say as I understand why two people from different time periods are here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, that\u2019s a habit of the Doctor\u2019s, picking up strays like that,\u201d scoffed Rassilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot strays, friends!\u201d argued the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay, we\u2019re all a little lost here!\u201d called William. \u201cHow about we introduce the rest of us? Starting with me! I\u2019m Dr. William Davies from 21st<\/sup> century Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd I\u2019m Amy Rose from the colony world of Mobius,\u201d said Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, Sonic the Hedgehog\u2019s biggest fan, I see,\u201d chuckled Whis. \u201cWell, I\u2019m Whis, the attendant for the God of Destruction of Universe 7. You know, Rassilon once was a candidate for being a God of Destruction, but she turned it down once Omega was lost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m sure,\u201d remarked William. He looked at the spiky-haired man. \u201c\u2026You\u2019re taking it all in stride.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, this isn\u2019t exactly the strangest adventure I went on,\u201d replied the man. \u201cI\u2019m from another planet myself and I\u2019ve fought in a tournament with other champions from other universes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou seem a bit eager for combat,\u201d remarked the Doctor. \u201cSo you\u2019re not human? What planet are you from?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPlanet Vegeta,\u201d replied the man. \u201cI\u2019m a Saiyan!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo you\u2019re a survivor of the Vegeta Calamity,\u201d said Rassilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYep! My Saiyan name\u2019s Kakarot, but you guys can call me Goku!\u201d The Doctor\u2019s eyes went wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSon Goku?! The Super Saiyan?!\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHey, what\u2019s all this?!\u201d shouted a woman\u2019s voice. There was a turquoise-haired woman standing in the door. \u201cGoku, what the hell are you doing in my bedroom?! Is your instant transmission on the fritz again?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, no! Nothing like that, Bulma!\u201d replied Goku. \u201cI was just looking for the Dragon Radar and-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell I don\u2019t keep it here! Why didn\u2019t you check the lab?! And what are you doing here, Whis?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, just being a voice of reason for Goku as usual,\u201d replied Whis. \u201cAlso welcoming our Time Lord friends here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTime Lord?\u201d asked Bulma, her anger replaced with confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat would be us, Miss\u2026\u201d said the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m Bulma, and you are?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, I\u2019m the Doctor. That\u2019s William, Amy Rose from Mobius, and Rassilon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow about we all step out of the room and perhaps chat,\u201d suggested Whis. \u201cI must admit, I\u2019m a little curious as to what you\u2019re doing here, Rassilon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone made it outside and were served tea. Rassilon sighed happily. \u201c\u2026Have to admit, tea is one of the greater inventions of humanity Time Lords couldn\u2019t hope to replicate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOne of the reasons I like humans,\u201d chuckled the Doctor. \u201cNow, I\u2019m sure you want to know why we\u2019ve landed here, Mr. Whis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI would like an answer, yes,\u201d replied Whis. The Doctor turned to Rassilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell? You kick-started this quest,\u201d she said. Rassilon sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI had a run-in with the Black Guardian,\u201d she explained. \u201cThe universe is drifting too close to order and stagnation and I have to round up all six segments of the Key to Time to restore the balance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe universe IS drifting too close to stagnation, as you said,\u201d remarked Whis, \u201cbut are you sure it was the BLACK Guardian that sent you on that quest?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTheir clothes for their mortal disguise were black, their voice was booming, they introduced me to pain as a taste of what would come should I fail, I\u2019m positive it was the Black Guardian.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat sounds like the Black Guardian, all right,\u201d said Whis. \u201cBut restoring the balance?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, that\u2019s not the Black Guardian\u2019s MO,\u201d confirmed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd I never went on a quest for the Key to Time,\u201d continued Rassilon, \u201cbut the Doctor did. I converted a bowship into a time vessel (forgoing the dimensionally-transcendental interior) and sought the Doctor\u2019s TARDIS. I found it and told her of my plight-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen I took pity on her and we all found one segment so far,\u201d said the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen you have the Core of the Key to Time?\u201d asked Whis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRight here,\u201d confirmed Rassilon as she pulled out the tracer. It then crackled rapidly. Rassilon waved about a bit, confirming that the rapid crackling happened only when it was pointing at Whis. \u201c\u2026It\u2019s somewhere on your person,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, that\u2019s quite unusual,\u201d remarked Whis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s either an object on his person,\u201d said the Doctor, \u201cor Whis himself is the segment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow\u2019s that possible?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s not uncommon,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cI did say that the segments could be anything or anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat if Whis IS the segment?\u201d asked Bulma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, Beerus won\u2019t have an attendant for a while,\u201d replied Whis, \u201cmy father would seek vengeance on the Doctor for daring to overpower an Angel, and Universe 7 would-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHang on, did you say Beerus?!\u201d asked Rassilon. \u201cHe\u2019s not-?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI got it!\u201d called Goku as he finished off his snack\u2026or rather, three-course meal. Those not used to Saiyans goggled at how quickly he finished off that meal as if it were a snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026H\u2026How\u2026?\u201d faltered William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI thought Sonic had a big appetite!\u201d gulped Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI heard Saiyan metabolism was high, but I didn\u2019t think it was THAT high!\u201d yelped the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat is it, Goku?\u201d asked Bulma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, it kind of ties into why I was looking for the Dragon Radar in your bedroom, Bulma,\u201d replied Goku. \u201cI finally remembered that King Kai wanted to be returned to life, but we can use the second wish to figure out if this key thing IS Whis or just something he has on him right now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cErm, wish?\u201d asked William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhis, what is Goku talking about?\u201d asked Rassilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, you ARE familiar with-?\u201d Whis\u2019 question was interrupted by a sound overhead. A circular shadow then hovered over the Capsule Corp Compound. Everyone looked up to see a flying saucer hovering menacingly over the city! A group of five then flew out of the saucer and landed. \u201c\u2026Now how on earth did THEY come back?\u201d muttered Whis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It had been a few days in the TARDIS since the Doctor and her crew retrieved the first segment of the Key to Time.
