Reaper: Difference between revisions

The TARDIS was attacked by Reapers when the Fourth Doctor was travelling back to Earth. When the Doctor was attacked by [[Lilith]] and her mothers, he allowed the Reapers to enter the TARDIS to devour them. The Reapers then left the TARDIS after eating the Carrionites.

When the [[Ninth Doctor]] brought [[Rose Tyler]] to [[1987]], she saved her father [[Peter Tyler]] when he was [[Alternate timeline (Father's Day)|supposed to die]] in a car crash. She missed the attempt during her first visit, so the Doctor took her back again. He warned her not to interact with their past selves, but she ignored this warning when she saved her father; a wound in time was created by her intervention, and thus the Reapers were able to enter the universe, and begin "sterilising the wound" by feeding on [[human]]s inside it. The Doctor and a handful of survivors managed to take refuge in an old [[church]], where he planned to bring [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] to them. Unfortunately, Rose touched her infant self, allowing a Reaper to enter the church, devour the Doctor and disrupt the TARDIS. The Reapers were expelled from the universe again when Peter restored the timeline by jumping in front of the car which should have killed him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Father's Day (TV story)|Father's Day]]'')

Though all trace of them was supposedly erased, the Reaper's intrusion of Earth was in the [[Atraxi]]'s records. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'')

When the [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth]], [[Eleventh Doctor|Eleventh]], and [[Twelfth Doctor]]s all arrived in [[Paris]] [[1923]] at the same café, a fight broke out between them, and two of them accidentally crossed fingers. This created a blast of temporal energy, known as the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]], which alerted the Reapers to the paradox. The Reapers entered the cafe from the [[Time Vortex]] and began attacking the three Doctors and their companions. The Reapers took a strong interest in the Eleventh Doctor over the others, and began chasing after him as the cafe collapsed. Running through the square, he led them past a [[comics]] stand which he had visited earlier and to one of the TARDISes parked in the city. This TARDIS had already been disconnected from its interior by the beasts. Using the Blinovitch Effect once more, the three Doctors were able to connect the TARDIS shell to the [[Twelfth Doctor]]'s [[TARDIS control room]]. The Reapers were able to break into the TARDIS, however, and the Doctors began leading the Reaper inbetween the different TARDIS console rooms, dematerialising the ship once they were all inside. This moved them into the Vortex again, meaning that they would either have to leave or die. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'')
