([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Dark Universe (audio story)}}) However, he managed to escape, and so the Eighth Doctor was brought in to find him.

While running from the [[Ravenous]], the Eleven met his ninth incarnation, who was attempting to get revenge on the Doctor, and learnt that his regenerative dissonance made him immune to being consumed by the Ravenous. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Odds Against (audio story)}}) After entering an alliance with the Ravenous, the Eleven was foiled by the Doctor, Liv Chenka, Helen Sinclair and three different incarnations of [[the Master]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Planet of Dust (audio story)}}) On the [[Crucible of Souls]], he met his comeuppance and was killed by the three Masters while trying to form an alliance. Left for dead, the Eleven regenerated into [[the Twelve]], a female incarnation. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Day of the Master (audio story)}}) | |||
During the [[Last Great Time War]], the Twelve was able to stabilise her regenerative dissonance via a [[neural inhibitor]] implanted into her [[brain]] by the Time Lords. After reuniting with the Eighth Doctor, the Twelve travelled with him and [[Bliss]] to the [[The Planet|Ogron homeworld]] and infiltrated a Dalek base commanded by [[Overseer (Planet of the Ogrons)|the Overseer]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Planet of the Ogrons (audio story)}}) before the Daleks imprisoned her with the Doctor and Bliss on [[Sangrey]] for [[interrogation]], disabling her neural inhibitor in the process. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|In the Garden of Death (audio story)}}) After a mission for the Time Lords on [[Uzmal]], during which the Daleks used a [[mind probe]] to control her, the Twelve was imprisoned in cryo-freeze by the Time Lords on [[Gallifrey]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Jonah (audio story)}}) but she eventually escaped after the Daleks were erased from [[history]]. The Twelve then utilised a [[Dreadshade]] and attempted to blackmail the [[High Council]] into granting her a seat on the Council, but ultimately failed, and after causing the Dreadshade to panic and fire a [[Bolt of Frightening]], the Twelve was seemingly buried in a large amount of rubble. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Dreadshade (audio story)}}) | |||
Their thirteenth incarnation was known as [[The Union (The Union)|the Union]]. In the midst of the Time War she developed a weapon which could extract [[degeneration]] energy, that she could use to stabilise herself, whilst causing its victims to degenerate. The Union tested it on [[the Master]], [[the Corsair]] and the [[War Doctor]], who eventually returned to face her whilst shifting between incarnations and destroyed the weapon.
