'''The Flux''' was a destructive mass, primarily composed of [[anti-matter]] from outside [[N-Space|the universe]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Vanquishers (TV story)|The Vanquishers]]'') unleashed by [[the Division]] under the orders of [[Tecteun (Once, Upon Time)|Tecteun]]. It was created to destroy the universe and eliminate the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] before she could further interfere with the Division's plans, ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'') having discovered her identity as the [[Timeless Child]], her past as a Division agent, and that her memories were removed after her service was complete. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'') The Flux would also act to provide enough thrust for the Division to move [[Division Control|their base]] into the [[Universe Two|next universe]], where they could start over.

The Flux was described by [[Karvanista]] as a "hurricane ripping through the structure of this universe", and was similarly identified by [[Observation Outpost Rose]]'s [[System (The Halloween Apocalypse)|system]] as "compromising base-level integrity of all structures". It ran against the very laws of [[space-time]], disrupting every [[particle]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'') As the Flux progressed, it destabilised the [[Temple of Atropos]] on the planet [[Time (planet)|Time]], causing [[time]] to "run wild" ([[TV]]: ''[[War of the Sontarans (TV story)|War of the Sontarans]]'') and making the passage of time unpredictable in an event called the [[Great Disruption]].

The damage done to the Temple also freed particles of the [[Time Force]], which caused near-instant [[decay]] to anything it made contact with. The Temple was later fixed with the Doctor's assistance when the [[Mouri]] were reinstated to control the flow of time, but not before the [[Ravager (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Ravagers]], {{Spruell}} and [[Azure]] had harvested the Time Force for their own ends.

After the [[first Flux event]] on [[31 October]] [[2021]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'') much of the universe was lost. ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'') What remained became contested territory between the [[Dalek]]s, [[Cyberman|Cybermen]], and [[Sontaran]]s.

However, the Doctor was able to avert the end, and Time destroyed the Ravagers when they attempted to [[sacrifice]] the Doctor, having failed at their task. The Flux was instead absorbed by a [[Passenger form]], after it was used to destroy the [[Dalek War Fleet]], the [[Cyber-Fleet]] and the fleet of the [[Sontaran Empire]].

Although the universe was ultimately saved, ([[TV]]: ''[[Eve of the Daleks (TV story)|Eve of the Daleks]]'') the Flux continued to weigh heavily on the Doctor due to half the universe having been lost in the process.

Feeling responsible due to the Flux having been created to stop them, the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] explained that he kept running, even at the "edge of creation", because it was a "creation that [they had] devastated".

Swarm and Azure used the Division's technology to generate the planned second Flux event to wipe out the remaining universe, intending for the Temple of Atropos to be the last to fall, releasing [[Time]].

The Sontarans' psychic command, under the leadership of [[Kragar]], used human psychics to predict where the Flux event would begin. Under the pretence of forming an alliance, they lured a Dalek and Cyberman fleet to the location, planning for their matter to resolve the Flux whilst their fleet sheltered behind the Lupari ships. The Doctor sabotaged their plan by helping Karvanista seize control of the Lupari fleet, whilst Vinder and Bel destroyed the command ship's communications to stop the Sontarans reacting in time. At the same time, at the request of the Doctor, [[the Division]]'s [[Ood]] did his best to minimize the impact of the Flux so as to make it easier to stop.

The Flux destroyed the gathered fleets of Daleks, Cybermen and Sontarans; however, this proved insufficient to stop it, and some of the Flux was able to make it past the Lupari shield. Following a suggestion by [[Diane (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Diane]], the Doctor put Swarm and Azure's [[Passenger form|Passenger]] in its path, and the matter within the endless prison proved enough to end the Flux, with [[Time (Set Piece)|Time]] describing the Flux as being "extinguished".

=== After the Flux === | === Aftermath === | ||
After a week had passed for the Doctor and her companions, they found themselves confronted by the Daleks once more. Due to the Doctor's role in the Flux destroying the Dalek War Fleet, [[Dalek Executioner]]s were sent in pursuit of the Doctor and her companions to enact vengeance, successfully circumventing them at [[ELF Storage|a storage unit]] in [[Manchester]] on [[New Year's Eve]], 2021. With the TARDIS resetting to clear out the damage done by the Great Disruption, however, the Daleks found themselves unable to permanently kill the Doctor or any of the storage unit's other occupants due to a protective [[time loop]] surrounding the building. With the help of the owner, [[Sarah (Eve of the Daleks)|Sarah]], and her only customer, [[Nick (Eve of the Daleks)|Nick]], the Doctor, Yaz and Dan were able to defeat and destroy the Daleks in an explosion that levelled the building in a burst of [[fireworks]] at [[midnight]], ending the time loop and successfully throwing the Daleks off of their trail. ([[TV]]: ''[[Eve of the Daleks (TV story)|Eve of the Daleks]]'') | |||

During the [[ELF Storage Incident]], Dan stated that the Doctor had saved the universe from the Flux. The Doctor, however, still remained closed off to her companions, ([[TV]]: ''[[Eve of the Daleks (TV story)|Eve of the Daleks]]'') much to Yaz's dismay. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Vanquishers (TV story)|The Vanquishers]]'', ''[[Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)|Legend of the Sea Devils]]'') Ultimately, although the universe had been saved, everything that had been destroyed by the Flux was lost forever, ([[TV]]: ''[[Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)|Wild Blue Yonder]]'') despite the Doctor's initial hope of finding a way to "decompress" the Flux from Division Control. ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'') | |||
Later, the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] was confronted by a [[Not-Thing]] pretending to be [[Donna Noble]], who claimed that it had seen what had happened to him in the years since Donna's travels with the [[Tenth Doctor]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)|Wild Blue Yonder]]'') when the [[DoctorDonna]] had been briefly reactivated. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Star Beast (TV story)|The Star Beast]]'') The Doctor, finally forced to confront his feelings, explained that he felt responsible and kept running, even at the "edge of creation", because it was a "creation that [they had] devastated", ([[TV]]: ''[[Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)|Wild Blue Yonder]]'') due to the Flux's purpose being to eliminate the Doctor once and for all. ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'') When asking the real Donna back on board the TARDIS if she remembered what she had seen while the DoctorDonna was active, she described it as "looking into a furnace", which she ultimately couldn't bring herself to do. Asking the Doctor what had happened, the Doctor was once more reluctant to open up. In the end, Noble settled for asking him if he'd be okay, to which the Doctor answered that he would be - but only after "a million years".
