Howling:Rassilon and The Abandoned Time Ship
Please DO NOT add to this discussion.
"What if there was nothing? What if there was never anything? Nothing under the bed, nothing at the door. What if the big bad Time Lord doesn’t want to admit he’s just afraid of the dark." (Clara on the monster in "Listen"( or the lack thereof).
Clara is certainly right about one thing, The Doctor would not want to admit he's afraid of the dark, but what if Clara is also wrong about one thing, what if there was something at the door?!
(I will now present my theory in a past tense story like form)
What if, on that deserted planet at the end of the universe, there was an Ancient Monster and its Followers who were exiled from there home world at the end of time. This band of monsters had roamed the remains of the universe in the ships they were exiled in until they came a crossed a broken down time ship with a crew of one (one Human named Orson Pink to be precise). The monsters landed there ships near the broken time ship, but out of sight of the time ship. The planet they were on had no atmosphere, but the time ship had an air shell around it (and obviously the time ship and the monsters ships had air inside). The planets surface was like the vacuum of space, but the monsters (along with with the rest of there species) could hold there breath and survive in a vacuum much longer than humans can. So every night the monsters would cross from there ships to the air shell of the time ship and bang on its hull to try and get in side (either by physically breaking into the ship, or by wearing Down the ships lone occupant with fear and/or loneliness until he let them inside). Than one night, after six months of doing this, the time ships door (which had always been locked) suddenly unlocked! The monsters opened the door (causing a breach in the air shell) and went inside. Once inside the ship they saw an old enemy of there's, the person who had exiled them, and they knocked him out (or maybe flying debris blown around by the breach in the air shell did). They saw there enemies ship as well and, not seeing the time ships lone Human pilot anywhere, assumed (correctly) that he was inside there enemies ship. This meant the time ship was theres as soon as there enemy left in his ship, so the monsters went deeper into the time ship to wait for there enemy to leave (possibly knocking out his ships scanner while they were at it). Once there enemy's ship left the monsters closed the time ships door, sealed the air shell breach, and got to work repairing the time ship using there vast knowledge of time travel and parts from there ships. Once the ship was repaired The Ancient Monster and its Followers (also known as Rassilon and the former members of The High Council of Gallifrey, though you might have guessed that by the title of this article) took off and left the end of the universe, sailing back through time. They went back in time to before the stars went out. They went back in time to before the galaxy's collapsed. They went back in time to when the universe was vast and complicated and teaming with life. These war criminals of the Time War went back in time, free to roam time and space, free to seek revenge against the man who exiled them from Gallifrey, free to get there revenge against The Doctor!
So, what do you think of my theory? Do you think it's plausible, or even possible? What do you think happened to Rassilon and the former members of The High Council of Gallifrey after the events of "Hell Bent"? And finally, what do you think was at the door?!
P.S. Please excuse any poor or confusing spelling, grammar, punctuation, or wording, I'm not very good at such things. 216.159.104.234talk to me 15:10, March 2, 2016 (UTC)
