| "Now, we must contact Gallifrey and bring 'our' Master to justice,"
the Doctor says as Inquirer carries the bound and gagged evil Time Lord
along to the TARDIS. "I'm sure that the Supreme Council will wish to take
care of our friend."
The Master gives off a giggle, still very much under the sedatives given
to her by Dr. McCoy.
"Or perhaps we don't need to even go that far," Betty says, pointing
to the group approaching.
"We'll take the Master from here," Castellan says, coming up. "We would
have been here sooner, but even Rassilon had to get this.....er.....unusual
action of coming out from Gallifrey to apprehend the criminal through Council.
Now, where is he?"
And it was amazing to see him in action! the Castellan admits
to himself, remembering.
"Right here," Inquirer smiles, putting down the smiling Master, who's
long blond hair has fallen into her blue eyes.
After a bit of disbelief, the Castellan and the guards take the now
female Master and head back to Gallifrey for the Master's trial.
"Off to Shada....or mayhaps even execution," the Doctor says to himself.
Though somehow he's got a feeling that the lady will manage to escape
or otherwise foil his....er....her fate.
Betty and the others also have that feeling, but hope they're wrong.
A manilla envelope appears out of thin air and drops at the Doctor's
feet.
The Time Lord opens it and sees it's from Agent 1!
Dear Champion,
Congratulations! You've completed your primary task (though not in
the prescribed manner we back at the Office had made arrangements for)!
Not only did it stabilize Betty's universe, but we were able to manage
to get the other Doctor's universes "stabilized" in a similar manner as
you managed for your universe. Now we have quiet a few steady state
universes! Oh yes! The signal sent had yet another nuance that wasn't quiet
apparent from casual observation!
Now don't worry, however, we have been able to arrange a pass for
you and the others back to Betty 1's universe for one last visit.
Use it well, Champions! Once you've returned to your assigned universes,
there will be no more visits to Betty's universe!
Thank you,
Agent 1 and Associates
The Doctor shares what he's read with the others, then set's the TARDIS
towards Betty's home.
Betty looks at her own trailer's door, and then back at her comrades.
"I see that my sister's probably here," pointing at the familiar looking
rental car. "And I even suppose that her husband is probably taking a nap
from the jet lag or such. Well.....let's get going."
She opens her own door, and her suspicions are confirmed.
Her sibling rises to greet here, and then her eyes fall upon the Doctor......
-
 "Omigod!
Ohmigod!" She sounded nearly hysterical with surprise and delight...
Go Back
