User:BananaClownMan/Sandbox/The Master (Harold Saxon): Difference between revisions

While ruling the world for a year, the Master discovered that the [[Drast]] had secretly invaded before he arrived. Furious, he ordered the Toclafane to burn Japan, where the Drast were situated. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Story of Martha (short story)|The Story of Martha]]'') By [[2009]], the Master had converted Earth into a slave camp which he ruled from the ''Valiant''. The Master aged the Doctor even further and planned to expand his [[New Time Lord Empire]] into space. He built an army of warships to take his war across the universe.

Martha used the legend of the Doctor, which she had spread, and the thoughts of Earth thinking "Doctor" at the same time. Their [[psychic energy]] was channeled through the Archangel Network, which the Doctor had spent the year infiltrating [[telepathy|telepathically]]. The psychic energy restored the Doctor and gave him [[telekinetic]] powers. After cowering from the Doctor's forgiveness, the Master used [[Jack Harkness' vortex manipulator|Jack's vortex manipulator]] to teleport him and the Doctor to Earth, where he threatened to use the [[black hole converter]] to detonate the rockets, but was foiled by the Doctor's knowledge that the Master could not kill himself.

=== Rassilon's Final Solution ===

On Christmas Eve [[2009]], the [[Governor (The End of Time)|prison governor]] of [[Broadfell Prison]] brought Lucy Saxon to a chamber where most of the staff were members of the [[Disciples of Saxon]], who had been working ever since the Master's death to bring about his [[resurrection]]. With the help of the ring and a biometric imprint taken from Lucy, the nude Master reappeared in a swirl of energy, but Lucy and one other warder had prepared for this. To stop his resurrection, Lucy hurled a [[Potion of Death]] at the Master. His followers and Lucy were killed in the resulting explosion.

The Master survived the blast, but his physical form was flawed: his once brown hair was now bleached blond, and he was unshaven and unkempt. Also, his [[life force]] was left in a state of constant depletion. He consumed huge quantities of food and drained the vitality of humans to stay alive. As a side effect of the failed resurrection, he could expend his life force for enhanced agility and send bolts of energy from his hands. The Master's body would even fluctuate between a fleshy form and a half-skeletal state.

The Master led the Doctor on a wild goose chase after banging the beat of the drums in his mind to lure the Doctor to him and escaped when [[Wilfred Mott]] interrupted the chase.  

Encountering the Doctor soon after, the Master and the Doctor discovered the drumming in the Master's head was real, not just a symptom of insanity. The Doctor also told him of the [[prophecy]] told to him by the [[Ood]], but the Master quickly dismissed it, assuming that it was referring to him. Billionaire [[Joshua Naismith]] then captured the Master and enlisted his assistance to mend the malfunctioning [[Vinvocci]] medical machine, which he had christened the "[[Immortality Gate]]". The Master co-operated for his own purposes. He broke out of a straitjacket and flew into the gateway, which he had working a billion fold on the human template. The gateway sent out an energy pulse that transformed every human on Earth, except Wilf, whom the Doctor protected with a radiation shield, and his granddaughter, [[Donna Noble]], who was unaffected due to her part-Time Lord physiology, into [[the Master Race]] — identical copies of the Master subservient to him.

As the [[Lord President]] [[Rassilon]] and his council arrived through the Immortality Gate, the Master announced he intended to transplant himself into the entire Time Lord race, just as he had done to the human race. Rassilon, using [[Rassilon's gauntlet|his gauntlet]], reversed the effects of the Master's transplantation, and watched as Gallifrey returned to the universe on a collision course with Earth. The Doctor berated the Master for breaking the time lock, warning him that it wouldn't just be the Time Lords and the Daleks, and that he had just opened up "Hell".

Rassilon revealed his plans for the [[Ultimate Sanction]]; the Master asked if he could also "ascend into glory", but Rassilon rebuffed him, calling him "diseased" and revealed that he was responsible for the drumming that the Master had experienced all of his life, and prepared to execute him, but the Doctor stepped in with Wilfred's pistol. After some hesitation on whether to shoot Rassilon or the Master, he shot the White-Point Star, destroying the link. Enraged, Rassilon prepared to kill the Doctor, but the Master unleashed his bio-electric blasts at the President, roaring that the Time Lords had manipulated him and made him the monster he had become, counting the beat of the rhythm that had resounded in his head and tormenting him all his life. The Time Lords, Gallifrey, and the Master then vanished in a burst of white light, and were sent "back into [the] hell" of the final day of the Time War.

=== After leaving Gallifrey ===

Still possessing blond hair and stubble, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Abominable Showmen]]'') the Master was greeted by a {{Gomez|n=female incarnation of himself known as "Missy,"}} who had developed a plan to form a band to hypnotise viewers of ''[[The Battle of the Bands Beyond the Stars]]''. {{Pratt|n=His decaying thirteenth incarnation}}, {{Ainley|n=the incarnation possessing the body of Tremas}} and {{Roberts|n=the incarnation possessing the body of "Bruce"}} all joined in the plan, and the team spent "decades" practising. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Five Masters]]'') Much to this Master's appreciation, he was allowed to play the [[drum]]s.  After unveiling their presence to the [[Twelfth Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Abominable Showmen]]'') the Masters prepared for their performance. However, the "Tremas" Master began to fight with Missy over the control of [[Missy's device|her device]], believing that he alone could hold the universe in his grasp. The other Masters soon joined in the fight for power as well, while the "Saxon" Master joined seemingly for the fun of it. The five were quickly disqualified, seemingly destroying them.
