They continue with their travels, fighting [[Spy Master|a new incarnation of the Master]], robotic postmen and [[Judoon]]. the Master reveals to the Doctor that he has destroyed Gallifrey once more, and the Doctor discovers that this is true. Heartbroken, the Doctor nonetheless continues on her travels, and she meets an earlier incarnation of herself, one she has no memory of, and one who has no memory of her. This mysterious incarnation, known retroactively as the [[Fugitive Doctor]], works for shadowy organisation [[Division]], but has run away and become a human on Earth.

Alone with the last of humanity, she must battle the Cybermen and the Master, who had allied himself with the Cybermen. the Master takes her aside to Gallifrey and reveals to her that she is, in fact, no Time Lord, and that everything that she has ever been told about the Time Lords is a lie. She was discovered by a wormhole by the early Time Lords, and from her biology they discovered the secret to regeneration. This was the reason that there Master has destroyed Gallifrey. This was the explanation for the mysterious earlier incarnation of herself. This was a very contentious and controversial retcon alongside Doctor Who fans, who are mostly idiots. The Doctor manages to save her companions and the rest of the universe from the Cybermen, but is captured by the Judoon and trapped in prison. | They continue with their travels, fighting [[Spy Master|a new incarnation of the Master]], robotic postmen and [[Judoon]]. the Master reveals to the Doctor that he has destroyed Gallifrey once more, and the Doctor discovers that this is true.

[[File:Dan Lewis WttT.jpg|right|thumb|360px|[[Dan Lewis]], played by [[John Bishop]].]]The Doctor and Yaz have been travelling alone for some time, but the Doctor is still determined to find answers about [[the Division]], which eventually puts the two on the trail of a former Division operative, the dog-like alien [[Karvanista]], whose species the [[Lupari]] seem to be heading for [[Earth]]. When they find him, however, he reveals that the Lupari are actually trying to save humanity from [[the Flux]], a devastating wave of antimatter which is in the process of destroying the entire [[N-Space|universe]]. All across time and space, various species and faction try to take advantage of this destruction, including the [[Sontaran]]s, exiled space dictator [[the Grand Serpent]], and most worryingly [[Swarm]] and [[Azure]], god-like crystal people from the [[Dark Times|dawn of time]] hell-bent on destroying the entire universe and unraveling the [[Web of Time]]. The Doctor and Yaz are joined on their travels through this chaotic universe by [[Dan Lewis]], an impoverished but ever-optimistic man from [[Liverpool]], who was the human Karvanista had been assigned to protect. Together they foil the Sontarans' attempted timey-wimey invasion of Earth, and are then ured to the mysterious [[Temple of Atropos]]. | |||
The Temple is where, through Division, the [[Time Lord]]s first gained control of [[Time]] itself, and it has been damaged by the Flux, causing temporal anomalies throughout the universe as the Time Lords' posthumous hold on History weakens. At the Temple, the Doctor and her friends meet [[Inston-Vee Vinder|Vinder]], a space adventurer with a grudge against the Grand Serpent. All four are catapulted into a [[time storm]] by Swarm and Azure, allowing the Doctor to discover that her forgotten counterpart the [[Fugitive Doctor]] was the one who originally defeated the villainous duo. After being reunited, they are drawn to a remote English village whose people are being preyed upon by [[Weeping Angel]]s, and meet the paranormal expert [[Eustacius Jericho]]. They discover that the Weeping Angels are actually an "[[Extraction Squad]]" summoned by [[the Division]], trying to collect a [[rogue Angel]] who has been hiding inside psychic [[Claire Brown]]'s [[Claire Brown's mind|mind]]. Wanting to save itself, the Rogue Angel instead allows the Extraction Squad to capture the Doctor herself, while her companions are left stranded in the early [[20th century]]. Taken to [[Division Control|a space station]] built into [[the Void|the Void Between Worlds]], the Doctor meets the leader of Division, who is none other than a [[Tecteun (Once, Upon Time)|new incarnation]] of [[Tecteun]], the scientist who adopted and abused the Timeless Child, then wiped their memory, creating the Doctor as we know them. Tecteun believes that the Doctor's meddling has irreparably corrupted the Universe, which she views as her "experiment"; she released the Flux, as well as Swarm and Azure, to destroy the Universe, intending to move into [[Universe Two|another reality]] and start over. The Doctor refuses to forgive and join her, and Tecteun is abruptly murdered by Swarm and Azure, who take control of the ship and thereby the Flux itself, intent on using it to destroy the Temple of Atropos and free the [[Time (mythology)|malicious godlike embodiment of Time]], whom they worship. Thanks to the Lupari, Earth is protected against the Flux, and, learning that it will be the final available refuge, the Sontarans (allied with [[the Grand Serpent]], who infiltrated [[UNIT]] to weaken Earth's defences) invade the Earth again, destroying the [[Dalek]] and [[Cyberman]] fleets by tricking them into the path of the Flux. Having been temporarily split into three due to an interdimensional phenomenon, the Doctor guides her scattered friends, who manage to simultaneously foil the Sontarans and Serpent's plans (at the cost of Professor Jericho's life) and safely funnel the Flux into a [[Passenger form|portable pocket dimension]]. Angered at its servants' failure, the embodiment of Time destroys Swarm and Azure, and leaves the Doctor with an ominous [[prophecy]]: her time is coming to an end, and [[Spy Master|the Master]] is amassing forces to move against her. | |||

[[File:The Master Doctor.jpg|left|thumb|360px|[[Spy Master|The Master]], played by [[Sacha Dhawan]], highjacks the Doctor's body and identity.]]Trying to relax for [[New Year's Day]] after all these adventures, Doctor, Yaz and Dan soon encounter consequences of the Flux as the Daleks blame the Doctor for the destruction of their fleet by the Sontarans. They send a squad of [[Dalek Executioner]]s to kill the Doctor and her companions, but after they all become trapped in [[ELF Storage|a storage building]] with the building's owner, the TARDIS puts them all in a [[time loop]] until they figure out a way to stop the Daleks without dying. During this stressful looping event, Dan reveals to the Doctor that Yaz has fallen in love with her, something Yaz had not admitted even to herself. The Doctor is unwilling to reciprocate or even acknowledge these feelings, however, still mindful of her own impending [[death]]. The two finally talk about it during the course of another adventure involving the [[Sea Devil]]s, underwater counterparts of the reptilian [[Silurian]]s, tangling with [[China|Chinese]] [[pirate]]s: though the Doctor admits that she would happily enter a relationship with Yaz if she were willing to consider romance at ''all'', she is refusing to take that risk in the knowledge that "eventually, it'll hurt". The long-predicted crisis finally arrives when the Master returns, posing as [[Grigori Rasputin]] in a comple time-bending scheme where he has allied with the [[Dalek]]s and [[Cyberman|Cybermen]], shortly after Dan decides to leave the TARDIS. After capturing the Doctor, he uses the power of [[Qurunx (The Power of the Doctor)|a starry entity]] to highjack her body and force it to [[regeneration|regenerate]] into a copy of his own, asserting that ''he'' is "the Doctor" now. [[UNIT]] get involved, as do the Doctor's former companions [[Ace]], [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]], and [[Graham O'Brien|Graham]]. With their help as well as that of a returning Vinder, plus a [[Holo-Doctor|hologram duplicate of the Doctor]], the Master's scheme is foiled and the artificial regeneration is reversed, temporarily restoring the Thirteenth Doctor. However, as she tries to free the powerful star-entity, the Doctor is fatally wounded by the Master, who is back in his own body but promptly dies — seemingly without regenerating — due to the strain the body-hopping put on his physical form. Yaz carries the unconscious Doctor back to the TARDIS before the planetoid they're all standing on explodes, but it's too late to prevent her regeneration. After holding it off for one melancholy [[ice cream]] date with Yaz, the Doctor admits that she would rather face her next rebirth "alone", and drops Yaz off on Earth again, where she is greeted by Dan and Graham, who introduce her to a [[companion support group|support group]] full of other past companions. [[Kate Stewart]] of UNIT is also at the meeting, noting that she may soon recruit some of them for "some work". Meanwhile, the Doctor steps out onto a [[Cliff (The Power of the Doctor)|lonely cliff]] and, wishing the best to her successor, allows the regeneration to start, transforming into the [[Fourteenth Doctor]]. Feeling his face, the newly-regenerated Doctor is baffled to realise he looks (almost) exactly like the [[Tenth Doctor]]. | |||
