He was coming, there was no denying. Omega was about to return to the universe. The Doctor was shocked. He felt both fear and an admitted sense of excitement. He hadn’t seen Omega in ages. The last time he saw the crazed Time Lord co-founder was in Amsterdam back in his fifth incarnation. From what he remembered, Omega had found a way to take on the appearance of his fifth incarnation. However, this body decayed and Omega was sent back to the antimatter world.
The Doctor and the two Rani’s watched on in bated breath. The two Rani’s had planned for Omega to rebuild Galifrey.
“Omega, Omega, Omega” The Seekers rhythmically said while typing their type writers.
The door started to open. Smoke and steam came out. It was like opening the capsule door of a spaceship. A figure then stumbled out. His hand held on to the side of the doorframe for balance. The figure wore a black cloak, wore two gold shoulder pads which were connected to a gold chest piece. There was his mask which had a distinct cone shape to it. The right side of it looked cracked with bits of it having fallen off. The mask had a fixed angry expression on it. This was Omega.
“Omega has returned!,” The Rani exclaimed.
“Looks like your idea worked,” Mrs Flood stated in a bemused tone.
The Rani scoffed as if she was offended by such a remark.
“Of course it was always going to work”.
Omega stumbled slightly. He straightened himself up and regained his balance. The Rani sent one of her robot drones over to assist him.
“Unhand me, your machine!” Omega stated as he pushed the drone.
The two Rani’s bowed.
Omega approached them and looked around at his surroundings. He made eye contact with The Doctor.
“My lord Omega, I-“.
Mrs Flood then glanced at her with a stern look.
“I mean we,The Rani are the ones responsible for freeing you from The Underverse”.
Omega looked at the two Time Ladies.
“So Rasslion made his crazed delusion into reality”.
The Doctor and the two Rani’s looked on in confusion.
“I may have been the one who made our people Time Lords, but even I have my limits. He was the one who wanted to push our biology further than before”.
Mrs Flood looked sympathetic.
“Do you know that-“.
“Yes, I know our planet got destroyed again. Even in the Underverse, news gets about fast”.
“That is why we have summoned you Omega, together we can rebuild Galifrey anew and establish a new order!” The Rani stated.
Omega didn’t say anything. He walked until he got to the balcony. He looked at the world outside. The Rani looked confused.
“Omega, didn’t you hear me!”.
“Why would I do that?”.
“What!”.
Omega turned around.
“Why would I help our own people when they abandoned me and left me to rot”.
“That was then Omega, Rassilon was a fool for not realising your brilliance”.
Omega chuckled.
“Finally, something we Time Lords agree on!”
The Doctor who was in stunned silence throughout the conversation had finally decided to speak up.
“Omega please, whatever The Rani is planning is not good for the universe”.
Omega turned to the Doctor.
“You are absolutely right”.
The Rani was in shock.
“What!”.
“For all their achievements, The Time Lords have all but become self centred tyrants who care not for the universe below them. And that Time War only reinforced their ego”.
The Rani was angry.
“You can’t do this, I brought you back, you obey-“
Omega went up to her and grabbed her by the throat and held her in the air.
“Don’t you dare assume you have power over me. You and your friend wouldn’t exist without me!”.
The Rani glanced over at Mrs Flood.
“Trust me, she’s not my friend”.
Mrs Flood looked on in silence. In fairness, she didn’t like her next incarnation. She was very bratty and self centred.
Purple energy was coursing through Omega’s body.
“You want to know how I survived all those decades in The Underverse?”.
“Huh?”.
“The antimatter not only destroyed my body but also my ability to regenerate. I’ve had to take life for myself”.
The Rani suddenly felt weaker. She saw that she was getting older. She was being drained of youth. She tried to wrestle Omega. She was able to pull the front of his mask off. She was shocked to see what was underneath. His head was now a Lovecraftian Skull. He started laughing maniacally.
“As you can see, my body is now starting to catch up with my mind!”.
The Rani screamed. Omega glanced over to the door he came in. The Rani saw what he had planned. Omega grinned and then threw her into the open door into The Underverse. She screamed. The door then closed shut.
The Doctor sprang into action and raced to Omega. Omega quickly repaired his mask and put it back on.
“Omega, please don’t do this. There are loads of abandoned planets out there. Come with me and you can live your life in peace!”.
Omega scoffed.
“My little Doctor, always seeing the good in people. You don’t have to worry about me, I have plans of my own”.
Omega started to walk away. He passed by Mrs Flood and he glanced at her.
“Can I come with you?” She asked.
“You aren’t concerned with what I did to your successor?”.
Mrs Flood shrugged.
“That one was a lost cause, she had no respect for me”.
“Great minds think alike”.
Omega’s hands coursed with purple energy. He slammed his hand into the ground and it made a big cloud and shockwave. Omega and Mrs Flood were gone. The room was a wreck. The Seekers and drones were lying around dead. Seeing nothing else to do, The Doctor ran down the hallway to look for Ruby and potentially find his Tardis.
Much later, Omega and Mrs Flood retreated to the moon. There was a gravity bubble that kept the air in. Omega looked at Earth in orbit.
“Earth has always been an interesting little world” he stated.
He was starting to see why The Doctor was always on the planet, and why he loved that human race. He also saw why so many alien beings loved to invade time and time again.
“Earth is what many call a rare delicaticity" an ominous voice said.
Omega turned around expecting to see Mrs Flood. However, there was another figure. He was a bit far away so only his figure could be seen. He was wearing a black cloak and what looked like a hood. He had his head down.
“Many invade for profit, conquest or… just for pure chaos”.
The figure came closer. He lifted his head. His face had no features on it except for a single mouth with sharp teeth.
Omega faced The Trickster. He had heard of this being before. He knew that he was the self proclaimed God of Traps and he was a member of The Pantheon of Discord.
“What brings you here, Trickster?” Omega asked.
“I wanted to see you. After all, we were both exiled beings brought back to a universe which rejected us both”.
“I know your methods, I don’t want to be involved in you or your Pantheon’s power plays”.
The Trickster tilted his head.
“But that’s the best part. Anything you desire is yours. I won’t even interfere with your business”.
Omega was in thought.
“What do you get out of this?”.
“I know when someone has high intelligence. I just want to help them get there. I have my own plans in motion and am set on accomplishing my mission of pure chaos. I have been moving my chess pieces for a while now”.
Omega was intrigued to ask what he meant. But he knew better than to ask someone who made a habit of lying and causing deception.
Omega and The Trickster looked at each other in the face.
“I want to make a deal”.
“What do you want?”.
“I have great plans for Earth and I want to have a foothold!”
The Trickster smiled a devilish grin.
“Oh, do tell”
