9: Time Lord
Then the visitors spoke among themselves and then Aragon spoke for them,” We would be honored to see the out come."
"In order to protect Middle Earth, I shall shroud you within the Mists that maintain our worlds," announced Queen Gaby. Then she formed a sparkling mist that enveloped the Middle Earth Delegation.
Then in came the many flights and they landed before Queen Gaby in a sparkling host of many colored lights, "Queen Gaby, the intruders are all sealed and are now Hobbits," announced Maddy Bell who was chosen to herald the news.
"Samwise Gamgee, Mayor of Michel Delving, Meriadoc Brandybuck, and Peregrine Took of Tookland please step forth asked” Queen Gaby.
Then three Hobbit men stepped out of the Shroud and knelt before the Throne, "I am Samwise Gamgee, Mayor of Michel Delving at your service."
"I am Peregrine Took, Master of Tookland at your service."
"I am Meriadoc Brandybuck of Buckland, how may I be of service?"
There are now several thousands of Hobbit children, according to the news you have brought, the Shire is in need of children. Are there enough Hobbit parents or adults to care for them?"
"As the Mayor of Michel Delving, I am empowered to set up homes where needed and the Great Smials can be made into a school for them as we have now several schools where the children are taught to read and write."
"As the Master of Buckland which is at the edge of the Shire, I am empowered to build new Holes and will extend the Shire to Bree Hill so that Bree Hill may gain from the bounty of children as well."
"As Master of Tookland, which is in the midst of the Shire, those sent with me shall also learn the skills of Sheriff since Samwise has given me that Authority."
"And Aragon will approve of this?"
"Your Majesty, if you have read the Red Book of West March which here is known as the Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings, then you know that the Shire in the heart of the Lost Realm of Arnor and was given to the Hobbits years ago," informed a new Hobbit.
"And you are?"
"I am Rosie Cotton, Sam's wife and don't you be putting on airs around us! We've been a part of Middle Earth Society for too long," she smirked.
"Good to see that the Fire still rests in Middle Earth, you Hobbits may go beyond the mists and you will find that the children are waiting for you," Queen Gaby laughed as the Middle Earth People went back to their realm.
"Queen Gaby, there is still the matter of the Master to deal with," announced Draco.
"Unfortunately, his T.A.R.D.I.S. keeps me from finding him," she sighed in frustration.
"Queen Gaby, I am the Doctor, I too am a Time Lord,"
"Can you sense him?"
"Yes, even now he comes to gloat over his victory."
"But Doctor, he has no victory!"
"True Drew my boy, but he does not fathom the fullness of his folly in attacking Queen Gaby."
"What is the folly Doctor, surely he can attack another Drew or Gaby as he did me."
"Because Queen Gaby, he chose the most powerful version of you to conquer in order to fragment all of creation and remake it in his image using the magical energies released by the deaths of your subjects and forcing you to give birth to a new breed of Time lord able to harness magic and rule a new universe."
"Yet he was ignorant of the power that he was after."
"I never said that he was the smartest when it came to understanding the Nature of Magic," the Doctor sighed in regret over the waste of the Master's many attempts at conquest.
Then an all too familiar wheezing/grinding sound was heard and an armored version of the Doctor's blue Police Box hove into being. As the noise stopped, a man looking like Count Dracula appeared wearing an all black suit, boots and gloves with a matching cape upon his shoulders.
"Queen Gaby, THIS is the Master," announced the Doctor.
"And no doubt, you are responsible for my plans going awry Doctor," said the Master with a sneer.
"No you daft fool, you couldn't begin to conquer Queen Gaby!" stated Drew's Maddy Peters.
Then the Master sneered at her," Be that as it may, you have no right to insult me brat!"
"Oh! A great mind like yours is so full of itself that it can never see its weaknesses," admonished Jules.
"Then I shall have the pleasure of doing THIS!" And the Master aimed a wand at Maddy who shrank down into a doll with a look of utter horror upon her face.
"MADDY!!" I yelled as I leaped to the Master and began choking him.
"So, now the Prophecy is come to pass,” announced a deep voice from everywhere.
"The Guardians." informed the Doctor in awe.
"Drat!!" exclaimed the Master.
Then two aged yet hale twin men appeared sitting in wicker lawn chairs with a matching table to the side set with the fixings of an afternoon tea. The amazing thing was that one was wearing white, the other black and were sitting in matching chairs.
"Really Master, you know that to murder any of the Friends or Family of the Cyclist is to break one of our Edicts," announced the Black Guardian.
"Then the Master finally succeeded in pulling me away from his neck and throwing me into the gang.
Then Julie caught me and knelt with me in her arms," Oh bro, I feel for you. Together we can make him pay for his action,' she openly wept.
"Julie Bond, even though Madeline Elizabeth Peters is now dead, Drew can bring her back," informed the White Guardian.
"Please tell us before I deal with the so called master!" fumed Queen Gaby.
"How can I bring Maddy back?"
"Simple, by winning one of the Master's regenerations from him," replied the Black Guardian
"NOBODY SHALL TAKE FROM ME YOU OLD FOOL!" exclaimed the Master.
"Either you accept our offer or we take your last regeneration from you, your choice!" declared the White Guardian.
"And this race if done will allow Maddy to be brought back?" asked Queen Gaby.
"Yes your Majesty, and if the Master refuses, what will be your Doom for him?" asked the Doctor.
"Even though Maddy is no longer breathing, she is aware, I shall transfer the Master into her body and turn his into a duplicate of hers so she may live," informed Queen Gaby.
"So my Maddy lives?"
"Yes Drew Bond, as Queen Gaby's Maddy, I assure you that she can sense her Life Force still trapped within the shell and she feels my now as well as Queen Gaby sustaining her, but even she has her limits," informed Princess Maddy as she supported her Queen in her weakness.
Then I stood up and slapped the master," THEN I DEMAND SATISFACTION FROM YOU THIS DAY!! " I demanded of Maddy's slayer.
Then the Doctor heralded," Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The Cyclist has demanded satisfaction of the Master for harming Madeline Elizabeth Peters. Are there any who question his right?"
"I do!!"
Then the Master felt pain as the Black Guardian spoke," Master, your scheme to recreate the universe has failed, as I knew it would. But you in your arrogance NEVER heard me denounce your scheme. Now you shall pay for your insolence one way or the other!"
Then after being freed from the pain, the Master stood tall, "Very well, what is the so called cyclist to challenge me at?"
"I challenge you to a bike race, once around the world, winner takes all!" I demanded.
Then the Master transformed his T.A.R.D.I.S. into a motorcycle and sped off," Catch me if you can Drew Bond," he chortled s he left us.
Then Queen Gaby wheeled over her bike and kissed me on the lips," This Kiss is to impart my Power to you my other self. Now RIDE with the Blessings of Creation with you.
I found that her Kiss had turned my uniform into an all white bodysuit and trainers with matching helmet," Thank you my Queen, I shall ride and conquer the Enemy of Creation."
Then I mounted her bike and sped off as my friends and Julie shouted their support. I saw where the Master had used his bike to corrupt time, I saw the many adventures of the Doctor as he thwarted the Masters many schemes and those of countless other menaces to the universe.
What was amazing was that I saw future incarnations of the doctor as he continued his journey even after his present form was killed by the Master. Then I spotted the Master as he tried to bank off of a wall that I saw was the very edge of the universe. He was gob smacked that I had caught up to him and I soon caught up to him and successfully made the turn and sped my way back to the finish.
I felt the Master launch several bolts of energy at me that I knew was the weapon he used to hurt Maddy, yet even though I was hit every time, I was kept safe as I guided him to the finish where I saw the body of Maddy reform and she came back to life.
As I freewheeled to my Maddy, she jumped up and down with the gang and the Doctor held the bike as I dismounted.
"THE WINNER OF THE RACE IS THE CYCLIST!!" announced both Guardians
Then Maddy engulfed me and kissed me all over my face as my uniform reformed on me. Then I heard a mortal scream as the Master visibly contorted and a ball of energy left him and entered Maddy.
"YOU FOOLS!! EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE TAKEN AWAY MY LAST REGENERATION, MY CONTROL OVER MY BODY IS TOTAL!! I STILL HAVE ANOTHER LIFE LEFT!!" the Master announced as he turned his T.A.R.D.I.S. back into a twisted version of the Doctors and left.
"Thanks Drew for saving me," said a subdued Maddy.
"You are my girlfriend Maddy. I love you more than Life." I said.
"Well my friends, the guardians can hold thing together only so long. I must get you lot back to your own history.
Then we spent a few moments saying goodbye, even to the Guardians were quite gob smacked to find themselves recipients of our goodwill. Then the Doctor herded us into his T.A.R.D.I.S. and landed us back at the bus stop where the bus was waiting for us.
"Now that the Master has completed his scheme, you are safe from him, he said as we left and got onto the bus. The last thing I saw of him was his blue box fading away with its strange wheeze.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On board the T.A.R.D.I.S. The Doctor enters a special room filled with pictures of his past companions from adventures past. He places a picture of Drew Bond and another one of him with his friends upon a table made out of bicycle parts," Goodbye Drew Bond, Cyclist and Brother Time Lord. Here I must leave you my son in order to maintain the Balance. May you find Happiness with Maddy, your Beloved.

The End
