Hell Bent (TV story): Difference between revisions

Now once more the Lord President of Gallifrey, the Doctor demands to know why he was imprisoned within his own confession dial. The General explains that all Matrix predictions foresaw the birth of a Hybrid of both Time Lord and Dalek races. The Doctor explains that Time Lords always jump to conclusions; the Daleks would never allow anything to be half-Dalek, because of their insane idea of racial purity. However, he then refuses to explain further as he needs Clara to talk to, implying she knows of the Hybrid. They take him to the extraction room, where they pull Clara out of her timeline one second right before her death; she arrives on Gallifrey, confused.  

The Doctor takes Clara to the [[Cloisters]], an area located below Gallifrey's capital; it is guarded by [[Cloister Wraith|Wraith]]s, which only attack if they attempt to leave. Many enemies attempted to steal information from Gallifrey during the [[Cloister Wars]], and were imprisoned within the vines. There is a secret door they can use to escape, he used in during his childhood when he got lost; the wraiths use projections of enemies who attacked to attempt scaring them into retreating, to no avail. The General and Ohila arrive via the elevator, but don't stray more than three feet from it as any further in would cause the Wraiths to attack them as well. They attempt reasoning with the Doctor, revealing that he refused to answer about the Hybrid for four and a half billion years, something that shocks Clara as he has gone so far just for her. She distracts the General and Ohila with a furious tirade, calling them "monsters" while the Doctor escapes through a secret tunnel; he proceeds to steal another TARDIS and flees Gallifrey with Clara. Ohila isn't that surprised; she explains to the General that running away is what the Doctor does best.
