Lego Doctor Who - The Lost Child - 5

Despite what you may think of me, you know what I did was for the greater good. What we did was for the greater good.

 

The greater good is questionable. An innocent life was taken because I lost control of you.

 

Davros deserved it for all he’s done to both us and the universe.

 

That is not your call! It should be someone else’s call.

 

But it usually is. Whether you like it or not, we are one in the same and there’s no way I could have possibly done what I did without you wanting it in some shape or form.

 

….That still doesn’t make it right.

 

Of course it doesn’t. Nothing we’ve ever done has been right. Travelling Skaro to hinder or destroy the Daleks, ultimately acting as the primary cause for the Time War. Leaving Susan to live a life with David even though it was clear to us both that she didn’t leave the Tardis. Do I even have to mention the Time War?

 

Leave me alone. Stay out of my head.

 

No. You interfered with my life. My face. I think it’s only fair that I am entitled to do the same for your final face.

 

Our final face.

 

Let us both hope that is not the case.

 

Arrrghhhh. SONTARANS! PERVERTING THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY!

 

Something’s wrong.

 

We’re still unstable.

 

It’s a consequence of the forced regeneration. We didn’t need to change so some of our cells are refusing to change.

 

Hmph. My cells are refusing to go down without a fight. I’ve never felt so proud.

 

But don’t you see? This is accomplishing nothing besides incapacitating us.

 

A price worth paying to punish you for what you did to me.

 

….It was for the greater good.

 

I thought the greater good was questionable.

 

Not in this case.

 

Oh you’re such a hyproci…..ARGH! ONE DAY, I SHALL COME BACK! How am I feeling the effects as well?

 

As you said, you and I are one in the same. My past is your part. So if I’m enduring regeneration sickness….Argh! THERE ARE SOME CORNERS OF THE UNIVERSE WHICH HAVE BRED THE MOST TERRIBLE THINGS!.....then so are you.

 

We’re not going to have to endure all of our past 23 incarnations are we?

 

That all depends on you afterall….SOMETIMES THE ONLY CHOICES YOU HAVE ARE BAD ONES, BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO CHOOSE!

 

That interruption from our 13th incarnation fitted into our conversation worrying well. WOULD YOU LIKE A JELLY BABY?!

 

NO MORE!

 

We’ve got to stop this, it’s making us lose contr….ah….ah….IT’S TAKEN ME ALL THESE YEARS TO REALISE THE LAWS OF TIME ARE MINE, AND THEY OBEY ME!

 

There’s only one way to stop this constant burst of regenerative energy…..FANTASTIC

 

You want me to die.

 

I want you to…COME ALONG ACE!

 

Oh really? How’s that working out for….DALEKS, CYBERMEN, THEY’RE ALL IN THE NURSERY COMPARED TO US!

 

You have to move on. Otherwise we’ll be stuck in a loop of having to….REVERSE THE POLARITY OF THE NEUTRON FLOW…go through this endlessly.

 

But that’s not fair, not after what you did to me…………HELLO STONEHENGE!

 

I’M SORRY. I’M SO SORRY.

 

Was that deliberate?

 

Let go. Move on. The future will never come if you continue to trap yourself in the past. If you trap both of us in the past….I’M A DOCTOR, BUT PROBABLY NOT THE ONE YOU WERE EXPECTING…

 

I DON’T WANT TO GO.

 

I know. We never want to go. For better or for worse, we always fear change. But that’s alright. Change is good. SO LONG AS YOU REMEMBER ALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU USED TO BE.

 

I WILL NOT FORGET ONE LINE OF THIS. NOT ONE DAY, I SWEAR.

 

I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER…

 

WHEN THE DOCTOR WAS ME.

 

Let go……Time has moved on. It’s only right that you do as well.

 

But how can I move on when we’re one in the same.

 

Accept that your chapter has closed.

 

But this is still my story.

 

Indeed. It’s also my story. Our story, and we’ll face it together.

 

I’ll never forgive you for this. My time is coming, we both know that.

 

Indeed. But until then. There must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties.

 

You sounded like yourself when you said that.

 

Can’t go wrong with quoting a wise man. Even if he was 4,000 years younger than us.

 

……..Fine. I yield.

 

What?

 

I yield. I will stop fighting it.

 

Why?

 

Does there have to be a reason?

 

There always is with you.

 

Let’s just say, that when the moment arrives, I’ll want you to return the favour.

 

I’m not letting you take control ever again.

 

So you like to say. Time will tell if you’re right or not.

 

Jerro: He’s still glowing.

 

Hala: Yes I can see that Jerro, thank you.

 

Vale: What’s his temperature like?

 

Hala: It’s fine from what I can make out. Irregular heartbeat. We’ll have to give him a scan to be sure what’s causing it. Where did you two say you found him again?

 

Samuel: You’d never believe us.

 

Hala: Try me.

 

Vale: No really. You’ll never believe us.

 

Jerro: Now I really want to know.

 

Hala: Keep your eyes fixed on his hands, Jerro. The moment they stop glowing, you let me know.

 

Jerro: I’m on it.

 

The Doctor: Sor…..

 

Samuel: Did he just speak!?

 

Vale: What did he say?

 

Jerro: I don’t know it was just a whisper.

 

The Doctor: I’m….

 

It’s happening. The cells are finally dying off.

 

Remember. You owe me.

 

I owe you nothing.

 

The Doctor: I’m…..sor……..sorry…..

 

Hala: What happened? Why’s he saying sorry? What did you two do to him?

 

Vale: Us? We didn’t do anything!

 

Samuel: Whatever’s wrong with him he did to himself long before we got there.

 

The Doctor: I’m….sorry….Davros.

 

Jerro: Davros? Who’s Davros?

 

Hala: I don’t know. Vale, have you ever heard of a Davros?

 

Vale: …..It’s….familiar…

 

Samuel: Familiar? What is a Davros, then?

 

Vale: I think it’s a person. One of the architects of this ship. If I recall it was a man known as Hayman Davros who had the first idea for taking to the stars after the first solar flare hit Earth.

 

Samuel: But that was over a hundred years ago, how could he know who Davros was? He looks like he’s only 30 years old at best.

 

Jerro: He could maybe even pass for a 27 year old.

 

Hala: Well let’s find exactly what’s wrong with him first. Jerro, can you turn on the scanner?

 

Jerro: Done. It should be on.

 

Hala: And there it is. Alright, we only want a low level scan to inspect his heart. Setting 2 should be enough.

 

Jerro: Guys!

 

Vale: What is it, Jerro?

 

Jerro: His hand! It’s stopped glowing!

 

Samuel: What?

 

As both Samuel and Vale race over to inspect the still conscious Doctor, the Time Lord’s body jerks suddenly as his mouth opens, expelling the residual energy left over from his regeneration.

 

Jerro: What the heck was that!?

 

Vale: Oi, mind your language young man.

 

Jerro: Sorry, Vale.

 

Hala: Guys…

 

Samuel: What’s up?

 

Hala: I think you should see for yourselves…

 

The three men step away from the unconscious Doctor and make their way over to the readout screen for the scanner where Hala is stood. What they see in front of them, shocks them.

 

Vale: That’s not possible.

 

Jerro: Well it explains his irregular heart beat.

 

Samuel: He has two hearts?

 

Hala: I think it’s safe to assume that he’s not human.

 

Jerro: Then what do we do?

 

Samuel: Secure him. Immediately.
