Collective Victorious
The Collective Victorious were a species of Dalek-Time Lord hybrids that existed beyond any single universe. Their ultimate objective was to win every iteration of the Last Great Time War in the multiverse by destroying all of creation.
Biology[[edit] | [edit source]]
Each member of the Collective Victorious was a Dalek or Time Lord that had survived the destruction of whichever universe they originated from. They were all augmented with various forms of Dalek and Time Lord technology, transforming them into a race of hybrid soldiers. Consequently, each member spoke with a distorted electronic filter effect, loosely reminiscent of a Dalek's voice. They were also capable of teleportation, both within and between universes. These augmentations also allowed the Collective to survive in the Wilderness Beyond Time without falling into madness as a result of the dimension's properties.
One member of the Collective, an alternate version of Romanadvoratrelundar, wore Dalek sense globes on their body and possessed at least one Dalek gunstick powerful enough to exterminate multiple targets in one shot. They were also able to mortally wound the Davros of the Warrior's universe in this manner.
After being sealed inside the Great Lock of Time, the Collective Victorious were reduced to a shadow-like appearance as a result of having been removed from reality entirely by the Warrior and Davros. (AUDIO: The Key To Key To Time)
Culture[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Collective Victorious was comprised exclusively of soldiers who reveled in destruction and fought solely to bring about the end of all existence, as they believed this was the only way to end the insanity inflicted upon them by the temporal flux they experienced as a result of their universes' iterations of the Last Great Time War. They referred to one another as "siblings," and at least one member, Romanadvoratrelundar, referred to themselves in a mix of plural and singular terms. (AUDIO: The Key To Key To Time)
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
Early conquests[[edit] | [edit source]]
The individual members of the Collective Victorious originated from separate universes that were destroyed by said universes' respective iterations of the Last Great Time War. Together, they pledged to win every version of the Time War across the multiverse by annihilating all of reality, as each member had been driven insane by the War and left in an eternal state of temporal flux, and thus viewed the complete eradication of creation itself as the only means of ending their madness.
Eventually, a version of Romanadvoratrelundar, who originated from an alternate version of the Warrior's universe, "gave [themselves]" to the Collective Victorious, to the point that, by the time their Dalek-Time Lord augmentations were completed, only "a fragment" of them remained in their body. Following their conscription, Romanadvoratrelundar formed the Fleet of the Final Family. Across the Collective's numerous universal eradications following this, multiple iterations of the Warrior joined the Collective as well.
On two occasions, the Collective Victorious attempted to use iterations of the Key to Time in their war campaign, only for the Keys to be acquired by iterations of the Great Old Ones. This delayed the Collective's operations by aeons. (AUDIO: The Key To Key To Time)
Destruction of the Warrior's universe[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Collective Victorious eventually targeted the Warrior's universe. Using a perception filter, Romanadvoratrelundar successfully infiltrated this universe's Gallifrey and became the Lord President of the Time Lords. They subsequently led the Time Lords in this universe's Time War for a time.
In order to destroy the Warrior's universe, Romanadvoratrelundar decided to use the Key to Time, but as they were unable to assemble it themselves, he contacted this universe's White Guardian and the two struck a deal: they would force the Warrior to gather and assemble the Key's segments instead. Unbeknownst to Romanadvoratrelundar, the White Guardian, who also gave the former a crystal as a contact device, planned to use this deal to ensure the downfall of the Collective Victorious. She also refrained from informing Romanadvoratrelundar of the identity of the Warrior's partner - Davros.
After leading a Time Lord fleet from a gunship in a successful attack against a Dalek base on Necros, Romanadvoratrelundar was informed by the White Guardian of the Warrior having begun his search for the Key to Time. However, Romanadvoratrelundar then decided that, rather than directly use the Key to destroy the universe, they would instead exploit the Warrior's quest itself to achieve the same result. Subsequently, they ordered for a sample of temporal horfrost to be unleashed upon the Warrior's TARDIS, which eventually destroyed the entire ship, although the Warrior and Davros escaped by time hopping to another point in time. Rather than prevent the temporal horfrost from spreading into the Time Vortex, Romanadvoratrelundar ordered the Time Lords to pursue the Warrior. Consequently, the horfrost began rapidly destroying the entire universe, as the Warrior and Davros' gathering of the Key segments caused all matter in the universe to become aware of their nature as potential Key segments, effectively transforming everything in the universe into, as the Warrior described it, "temporal tinder."
In the final moments of the universe, Romanadvoratrelundar witnessed the collapse of the Time Vortex from the bridge of the Time Lord gunship, before teleporting out of the Warrior's universe immediately before the temporal horfrost killed the crew and destroyed the gunship, as well as the rest of the universe.

The end of the Collective's Time War[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the aftermath, the Collective Victorious moved to destroy the Wilderness Beyond Time, a dimension housing the rest of the Guardians of Time from the Warrior's universe. While most of the Collective prepared to destabilse the Wilderness' dimensional properties to facilitate the return of the Great Old Ones of the Warrior's universe, Romanadvoratrelundar sought to recruit the Warrior into the Collective, after he and Davros had been brought to the Wilderness by the White Guardian prior to their universe's destruction. Romanadvoratrelundar found the Warrior and Davros outside the Great Lock of Time and exterminated the Servants of the Old Ones before they could kill the duo. They then attempted to persuade the Warrior to join the Collective Victorious, but chose to mortally wound Davros, as they considered the latter to be worthless. When the Warrior refused to accept their offer, Romanadvoratrelundar swiftly left and reunited with the rest of the Collective fleet, who then began their attack.
However, as an army of Collective soldiers began manifesting far above the Great Lock of Time, the White Guardian emerged from the Lock and convinced the Warrior and Davros to follow her inside. By entering the Lock, Davros and the Warrior, having absorbed the power of the Key to Time by assembling it, were able to use this power, in conjunction with their statuses of respectively embodying the beginning and end of every iteration of the Last Great Time War across the multiverse, to trap the Collective Victorious with them inside the Great Lock of Time outside the rest of reality, reducing the Collective to a shadow-like existence. The Warrior continued to observe the shadows of the Collective Victorious long after he and Davros were separated within the Lock, by which point Davros had accepted death, and the Warrior had chosen to spend eternity experiencing every iteration of the Last Great Time War from within the Lock.
