Galaxy was standing next to the Doctor in the bridge of the Valiant, Astro was beside her but the poor robot had a muzzle around his mouth he couldn't get off himself. The Joneses were standing at the side of the room with guards near them and Jack was at the other side with another guard by him.

Martha was brought to the Valiant with two guards and was led to the middle of the room where the Master stood at the top of the steps.

"Your teleport device. In case you thought I'd forgotten." He ordered and Martha pulled the Manipulator out of her pocket and tossed it to him, "And now...kneel." He ordered and she did so, "Down below the fleet is ready to launch. 200,000 ships set to burn across the Universe. Are we ready?"

"The fleet awaits your signal. Rejoice!" A man replied.

"Three minutes to align the black hole converters. Counting down. I never could resist a ticking clock. My children, are you ready?"

"We will fly and blaze and slice. We will fly and blaze and slice."

"At zero, to mark this day, the child, Martha Jones, will die." The Master announced, "Ha, my first blood. Any last words? No?" He looked over at Galaxy who was frowning at him from beside the Doctor, who he smirked at, "Such a disappointment, this one." He said and turned to Martha, "Bow your head. And so it falls to me, the Master of all, to establish from this day, a new order of Time Lords! From this day forward..." Martha laughed, "What? What's so funny?"

"A gun?" Martha asked.

"What about it?"

"A gun in four parts?"

"Yes, and I destroyed it."

"A gun, in four parts, scattered across the world? I mean, come on. Did you really believe that?"

"What do you mean?"

"As if I would ask her to kill." The Doctor said, leaning forward in the bars. "Ok, well, it doesn't matter. I've got her exactly where I want her." The Master said. "But I knew what Professor Docherty would do. The Resistance knew about her son. I told her about the gun, so she'd get me here. At the right time."

"Oh, but you're still gonna die!"

"Don't you want to know what I was doing, travelling the world?"

"Tell me." The Master said.

"I told a story, that's all. No weapons, just words. I did just what the Doctor said. I went across the continents all on my own. And everywhere I went, I found the people, and I told them my story. I told them about the Doctor and Galaxy. And I told them to pass it on, to spread the word so that everyone would know about the Doctor and Galaxy."

"Faith and hope? Is that all?" The Master asked, laughing. "No, 'cos I gave them an instruction. Just as the Doctor said. I told them that if everyone thinks of one word, at one specific time..." Martha said standing up.

"Nothing will happen! Is that your weapon? Prayer?" He asked. "Right across the world. One word, one thought, one moment...with 15 satellites." Martha said. "What?"

"The Archangel Network." Jack said. "A telepathic field binding the whole human race together, with all of them, every single person on Earth, thinking the same thing at the same time. And that word is Doctor."

The countdown reached zero just as a glowing field surrounded the Doctor. Galaxy smiled before moving closer to Astro and she removed the muzzle while no one was looking.

"Stop it! No, no, no, no you don't!" The Master yelled.

"Doctor." Jack whispered, closing his eyes to focus.
