Missy: Difference between revisions

During the [[Time War]], [[The Union (The Union)|the Union]] tested their [[degeneration]] weapon on the Master, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Union (audio story)|The Union]]'') causing them to shift between their bodies. In an attempt to stabilise, they accidentally went too far forward in their life and became Missy even though they had yet to become this incarnation. Stable for a time, Missy occupied herself trying to recreate ''[[The War of the Worlds]]'' on [[Planetoid 50]], creating a facsimile of Victorian London and populating it with kidnapped humans and the [[Paternoster Gang]] and with fake Martians to invade it. During this she kidnapped [[Jenny Flint]] and [[Vastra]], hypnotising Jenny and keeping Vastra a prisoner. She lost control of the Martians however and was left stranded due to her TARDIS’ power being used up, so decided to exploit the arrival of the Doctor, in the midst of his own degeneration causing him to appear as the [[First Doctor]]. After using the same beam on him as herself, causing him to jump forward to the [[Tenth Doctor]] she sent Vastra to retrieve him. The Doctor modified her [[Tissue Compression Eliminator]] to shrink the fake Martians, after which she began to degenerate again. Leaving in her replenished TARDIS to degenerate alone, Missy gave the Doctor some hints about the weapon and told him to find the Union.

When he briefly transformed [[human]]ity into the [[Master Race]], the Saxon Master observed in his ''[[Masterplan Journal]]'' that living as all the female Masters in women's [[clothing]] felt "strangely liberating", suggesting to himself that he should get in touch with his feminine side.

=== Early endeavours ===

=== Reclaiming her friend ===

After killing Clara's boyfriend, [[Danny Pink]], by running him over with a milk float, Missy returned to the Scoundrels Club to finalise her revenge by having Saffron poison the last remaining members with a temporary paralysing agent. After stranding the majority of the members in the past to act as slave labour, Missy taunted Mandeville a final time by permanently paralysing him and propping him up as furniture, while she made plans for Dr [[Skarosa]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dismemberment (short story)|Dismemberment]]'')

After the Doctor found out from the [[Cyber-conversion|Cyber-converted]] [[Danny Pink]] that she planned to have the Cyber-pollen fall again so that humanity would be reborn as Cybermen, Missy then arrived to give the Doctor control of the Cybermen, wanting him to use them as his army, in the hopes of proving the similarities between them. However, after pondering the idea, the Doctor proclaimed himself to be simply an "idiot with a box" rather than a general or any sort of leader. He turned control over to Danny, who ordered the army into the sky to destroy themselves, dispersing the threatening rain clouds.

=== Further schemes ===

=== Trapped on Skaro ===

After she was given the Doctor's [[confession dial]] from [[Ohila]], Missy tried to find the Doctor to get answers, but was unable to locate him. Needing assistance, Missy got the attention of both Clara and [[UNIT]] by [[Time stop|freezing]] all the airborne [[Aeroplane|planes]] on Earth in time. Managing to arrange a treaty with Clara, Missy helped UNIT deduce that the Doctor was hiding in [[1138]] [[Essex]], and used her vortex manipulator to transfer herself and Clara to the location, where the Doctor was throwing a party.

Missy and Clara entered the Dalek sewers, composed of rotting Daleks, with Missy using Clara to lure a Dalek there. She cut through its case using her [[dwarf star alloy]] brooch, enabling the rotting Daleks to kill it. She put Clara inside the case and pretended to be her prisoner, enabling her to re-enter the Dalek control room and propose an alliance with them. When the Daleks began to gain Time Lord regeneration energy, Missy used their incapacitation to find the Doctor. She used a Dalek gun to shoot Colony Sarff, saving the Doctor. She then watched as the Doctor toyed with Davros about the revived Daleks in the sewers and even tapped Davros' Dalek eye as they made their escape.

=== After Skaro ===

=== Trial and execution ===

=== Imprisoned in the Vault ===

While inside the Vault, Missy began reading up on how women were treated by history, and decided to help inspire a select group of women to rise against their male oppressors with a [[Spacebook]] group chat. However, the Doctor, thinking Missy was plotting an elaborate escape by messing with history, infiltrated the chat with the username "[[Circe]]" and dismantled Missy's leadership of the women. Missy then swore off ever trying to help the human race, and instead began a new campaign for the [[rat]]s of Earth. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Girl Power! (short story)|Girl Power!]]'')

=== Final endeavours ===

=== The Mondasian colony ship ===

That [[night]], while the Doctor recovered from their escape, Missy accompanied the Master in venturing to [[Floor 0508]] to revert the Doctor's edits to the Cybermen back on Floor 1056 and regain control of the Cybermen, though they were followed by [[Alit]] and a [[Patient (World Enough and Time)|patient]] that Missy named "[[Topknot]]". However, after an encounter with a patrol of [[CyberNeomorph]]s, Missy prevented them from attacking Floor 0507 with a swarm of [[Cybermat]]s, before rescuing her previous self with Alit and assisting the Master in destroying the Cyberman patrol; the two Masters then returned to Floor 0507 and abandoned their plans to control the Cybermen. On their journey back to the farmhouse, Missy, still conflicted over whether to side with the Doctor or her previous self, hypothesised that the only way to finish her internal conflict would be to kill the Master. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alit in Underland (short story)|Alit in Underland]]'')

After two weeks of searching, the Master and Missy found disguised lifts, but Missy accidentally summoned the Cybermen in her attempt to escape. Unable to return to the Doctor's TARDIS due to how quickly time was moving on the floor of the Cybermen, the Doctor insisted that they had to prepare for a confrontation.
