AAbena
I grew up with Anansi, terrified someone would win me in a bet. I'd heard about you, travelling through time -- I had faith you would help! Instead, you left me. I'm here because of you. You humiliated me, Doctor!
You look so different now. I am sorry. But I couldn't take you with me.
[The camera pans behind Abena and the Fifteenth Doctor changes to the Fugitive incarnation.]
FDThe Fugitive Doctor
I was a fugitive back then. Anansi was wrong to offer that bet! And frankly, darling, I was busy in a different story that might be finished one day...
DThe Doctor
You wanna hear a story?
Don't give him more power.
DThe Doctor
Really short, really short. You know Hemingway. I saw some of his books back there. I met him. I wanted to see how good he was, so I challenged him. "Hemy, baby, write me the shortest story you can". He wrote it in six words. Short as hell! Do you wanna hear mine? I'm born. I die. I'm born.
[The Barber's haircut machine overloads.]
BThe Barber
You are giving me power. But how? I am not connected to you!
DThe Doctor
No, the engine is connected to me. My stories, my voice. Look. On!
[The screens turn on and play parts from the Doctor's past.]
...in the universe can do what we're doing.
[Cut to a quick flash of the Third Doctor.]
I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord.
When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die!
When people need help, I never refuse.
I am definitely not the man I was.
[Cut to a short glimpse of the Eleventh Doctor.]
DThe Doctor
My body is like a barbershop. All of them inside, telling their stories, bickering! I... will not... fail them!
[In the barbershop they are treated to colour versions of the Fourth, Eighth and First Doctors. The spider starts moving again, faster and faster. The little screen shows the Fifth Doctor with Tegan Jovanka and Vislor Turlough, then the Sixth Doctor.]
BThe Barber
[laughs] You told a never-ending story, and gave me never-ending power!
He's taken out a third of the engine. You can't process that power. Your engine could overload and explode! We'll all be sucked into space!
BThe Barber
You will not do that. You will not! No. No! Would you? The stories say you protect life.
DThe Doctor
That is what I am doing.
Every civilisation has a thousand legends about the world hidden below. The Upside Down, or Narnia, or Hell. That is the Underverse.
To which Omega was banished.
KLKate Lethbridge-Stewart
My father fought Omega back in the 1970s. Said he was a Titan. Called him the Mad God.
Omega was the first. The one who discovered time travel. Some call him the Original Sin of the Time Lords. Cast out from Gallifrey - legend says that they bound him and banished him because he is insane!
The point is, he's alive. Exile to the Underverse means he survived.
Alive or dead, he will work as a gene bank. With his body, I can resurrect the Time Lords and construct a new Gallifrey.
[chuckling] Oh. Your Gallifrey.
Well, the Gallifrey of old never did appreciate me. But this one, this will be a power in the sky.
But if you need the DNA of a Time Lord, then what about you? The two of you?
[wryly] I think she's asking us to mate.
[The Rani has summoned Omega, who emerges as a huge, skeletal monstrosity]
The Underverse is a world of legend, so Omega has become his own legend! He is the Mad God! The Titan! The Original Sin!
I will become the God of Time, with Time Lords to feast upon!
Well, I think you'll find--
[She raises her sonic, but screams as Omega nonchalantly seizes and devours her]
[last words] I don't want to do this alone.
[The TARDIS powers down as he opens the doors and speaks to the universe in general].
I'm never alone with you. JOY TO THE WORLD! And that is exactly the word. [regeneration energy starts to flow] This has been an absolute joy.
If I may say so, you still seem rather troubled by it all.
Well, I... I suppose that I am. I'm starting, you see, to wonder...
About whether we have a duty to intervene, Chesterton, no matter the cost, or the rules. About whether what I had believed all of my life to be true is necessarily so, and... About whether, one day in the end, I'm simply going to have to change.
Sounds a bit extreme, Doctor. We all like you, you know, just the way you are.
Oh, you're very kind, very kind indeed. But for now... Yes, let's see where we end up next.
That's right, my boy. Always onwards!
KMr. Kastavellan
Oh. Good word, "Dalek". Yes, that's it!
I'm lucky I wasn't exterminated.
KMr. Kastavellan
"Exterminated"? Yes. Yes! Good word, great!
Wait a minute, do you mean this is the... genesis of the Daleks?!
