There are things...
...waiting in the darkness.
Creatures...
of metal,
fire...
and blood.
But he's out there...
...burning through time;
facing...
a thousand dangers...
...across the stars...
...and never giving up.
He looks like a man...
...but he's a legend,
and his name...
...is The Doctor.
He'll come back to save us...
...and this time I'm gonna be ready.
Then, just like that...
(poof) ...we'll be gone.
