Everything hurts, his whole body literally burns and he can hardly breathe, let alone move. He has to survive, he has to live, he can't die here! But there is no regeneration left for him and his own body starts to betray him.

There are footsteps coming near him and his lips move to beg for help, but no sound comes out and then he sees black boots in front of him and then a face, short hair, big nose and ears, thin lips and light blue familiar eyes. The look in them is distant and almost cold and for the split of a second he thinks that this man is going to kill him, but then there are hands on his arms, digging into the burned flesh, lifting him up and he would have screamed in agony if he still could. The world starts getting black around him, black as his flesh is now.

“Let me help you, Master,” is the last thing he hears before passing out.


The Doctor cannot save the planet that burns now bright in a time that is locked away from the rest of the universe, but this one time he can save one of the Time Lords at least.
