@4"Dimensions in Time"
@3====================
@1A transcript by @2Doug Vernew@1


The Rani stood in the console room of her TARDIS, accompanied by her
henchman, watching the images of the first two Doctors swirling in the
air around her.

"Pickled like gherkins in a jar," the Rani exclaimed triumphantly.

"Mistress Rani, the time tunnel is ready to receive its first guests,"
the Rani's henchman announced.

"Proceed." She looked at the two floating images. "Fated to wander a
dismal corner of the universe for twenty years. Helpless. Paralysed.
It will drive them insane!" The images of the first Two Doctors are
sucked into the massive Time Tunnel lurking in space near the Rani's
TARDIS.


The Fourth Doctor is standing in the middle of a swirling vortex, a
microphone in front of him.

"Mayday! Mayday! This is a message for all the Doctors -- it's vitally
important that you listen carefully to me, for once. Our whole
existence is being threatened by a renegade Time Lord known only as
the Rani. She hates me! She even hates children! Two of my earlier
selves have already been snared in her vicious trap-- the grumpy one
and the flautist, you remember. She wants to put us out of action,
lock us away in a dreary backwater of London's East End, trapped in a
time loop in perpetuity. Her evil is all around us! I can hear the
heartsbeat of a killer! She's out there somewhere! We must be on our
guard and we must stop her before she destroys all of my other selves!
Oh! Oh! Good luck, my dears!" The Fourth Doctor has a look of
desperation on his face.


In the Rani's TARDIS, her henchman was putting in the final roundels
into two stasis chambers of sorts.

"A Cyberman, and a Time Lord from Gallifrey," he announced as he
sealed each respective creature in. "The menagerie is almost
complete!" The Rani paced quickly toward the console.

"Time is literally of the essence!" The Rani flipped a few switches on
the console. "The Doctor's remaining incarnations are teetering on the
edge of a precipice!"


"You're obsessed! Don't forget what we've come here for."

"Earthlings pose no threat to my technology, imbecil! It's the Doctor
I want out of the way!" The Rani remarked fanatically.

"Interception in five seconds, Rani." The Rani's henchman flipped a
switch on the console, and the scanner screen slid open to reveal the
Doctor's TARDIS traveling through space.

"Although I will miss the challenge." The Rani had an evil smirk on
her face.

"Three... Two... One..."

"Activate!" A bright flash of light came out of the Rani's TARDIS and
whizzed over to the Doctor's TARDIS, throwing it violently off course.


In the middle of some sort of garden with a huge sailing ship in the
water on one side, there is a wheezing groaning sound as the Doctor's
TARDIS materializes. The door opens and the Seventh Doctor walks out,
followed by Ace. The two begin walking away from the TARDIS.

"Oh to be in China, now that November's here!" The Seventh Doctor
exclaimed happily.

"When was the last time you had that junk heap in for an M.O.T.,
Professor?" Ace asked.

"Oh don't be cynical, Ace. The instruments are just a little erratic,
that's all."

"Great Wall of China? It looks more like the Cutty Sark to me!"

"Hmm..." The Doctor stared thoughtfully at the large sailing ship.
"...Not a soul in sight!" They reach a trash bin, and the Seventh
Doctor picks up a newspaper which is laying on the top of the bin. He
glances at the date. "1973? I didn't set the coordinates for 1973!"

Ace looked around.

"Oy! Is anybody there?"

"If I didn't know better, I could be convinced that someone has
deliberately taken us off course!" The Doctor suddenly noticed Ace
looking at a sign on a nearby gate. The sign reads 'Cutty Sark
Gardens.' "Ace, what are you doing?" There is a bright flash.


Ace is standing in the middle of a crowded square, 'Albert Square'
according to the sign, next to a man with curly hair, wearing an
appallingly tasteless outfit.

"Hey, you're not the Doctor!" Ace exclaimed.

"Yes I am, Ace! We seem to have slipped a groove in time. Where did
all these people come from?" The Sixth Doctor responded. He looked
around a bit. "And where are we?" The two walked through the street
markets. Ace suddenly noticed an interesting brown jacket on one of
the many coatracks on the sidewalks.

"Hey, Professor, look at this!" She ran over to where the jacket was
and started taking it off the hanger.

"All right, darling, special discount for you, seeing as it's nearly
Christmas," one of the salesmen remarked.

"Oh, wicked!" Ace responded. Another saleswoman pulled the first one
aside.

"Here, what do you mean discounts? This year's been bad enough as it
is without you giving things away!" She accosted him.

"Don't worry, about it, all right?"

"Hey, do you like that, love?" The saleswoman asked Ace. The Sixth
Doctor looked at the jacket with disgust.

"It clashes!" He exclaimed, holding it next to his outfit.

"I tell you, they're going to be the rage in 1994," the saleswoman
commented. The Sixth Doctor suddenly had a grave expression on his
face.

"Wha-" Suddenly there was a bright flash of light, which cut off the
Sixth Doctor.


The Third Doctor is standing in roughly the same location, next to
Melanie Bush.

"What's happening?" Mel asked the Third Doctor.
"Change! You, me, everything. It's as though someone is rooting
through my personal time stream," the Third Doctor responded.

"But what on Earth for?"

"Earth? Yes." The Third Doctor walked up to someone at one of the
fruit stands. "Excuse me, my good woman, but what year is this?" The
woman suddenly noticed a boy stealing an orange.

"Oy, you! Come back here! He's just nicked an orange!" She exclaimed.
Her friend turned to her.

"Well shouldn't your Martin be looking after the store?" She asked
her.

"He's never here when you want him. I wish my Arthur were still
alive." She suddenly noticed the Third Doctor handling some of the
fruit. "Hey what do you think you're doing? Stop messing the goods
about! Do you want to buy something or what?"

"Well, considering the quality of everything you have, madam, I'd say
that your prices are rather expensive," the Third Doctor responded.
Mel, in the meantime, was looking over some of the clothes.

"I see flares are back in fashion," she commented to the other woman.
The woman walked over to her.

"Yeah, everything from the last century seems to be having a comeback.
I just wish my looks were!" She remarked.

"Last century?" The Third Doctor inquired.

"Well, what year is this?" Mel asked.

"Oh don't you start! There's enough oddballs here as it is!" The other
woman responded.

"Madam! What year is it?" The Doctor asked forcefully.

"Two thousand and thirteen!" The two women responded simultaneously.
Suddenly there was another bright flash of light.


The same two women, though much younger, are standing in a similar
market talking to each other. A young boy is next to them playing.

"Yeah, I can remember exactly where I was when Kennedy was
assassinated," one woman commented to the other. "But don't tell
Arthur!" The other woman laughed.

"How long ago was that, then?" The other woman asked.

"Well, it'll be ten years," the first woman responded.

"No?" The woman asked in disbelief. She suddenly noticed the young
boy, her son, messing about a bit. "Ian, will you behave?"


The Sixth Doctor was walking down the sidewalk with his arm around
Susan Foreman.

"Well, who are you?" Susan asked the Sixth Doctor.

"Precisely. I am the Doctor!" The Sixth Doctor responded. Susan
laughed.

"Oh no you're not! You're nothing like my grandfather!"

"I feel as though I've been pulled backwards through time, and my
companions are being drawn back with me."

Susan suddenly appeared frightened. She looked around nervously.

"Ian?  Barbara?" She called out.
"Where are the others?" She asked the Sixth Doctor.

"Don't ask. Someone is trying to separate me from the TARDIS, and
knows my affinity for this planet." Susan appeared upset.

"Where's grandfather? MY Doctor! The ORIGINAL!"

"The inrush of time zones is designed to seal us all together!"
Suddenly, there was yet another bright flash of light.


Sarah Jane Smith was wandering down a sidwalk, lost. A woman walking
next to Sarah, turned and began to talk.

"My skin's been great since I started using all-over sunblock," she
commented to Sarah. "I think it frightens the law."

"Law?" Sarah asked incredulously. "Since when?" Sarah suddenly spotted
the Third Doctor. She began to run towards him.

"Hey! Where you've been hiding, then?" The woman called out toward
Sarah.


Sarah caught up with the Third Doctor and began to walk with him.

"Hi!  I thought you'd be involved somewhere along the line," she
remarked to him.

"Hmm.. What we're seeing here, Sarah," he paused for a second, "is the
work of a genius. An expert in time distortion!  A time traveller
maybe, and an ingenius operator."

"Well then we must get back to the TARDIS, Doctor!"

"It's at the other side of the river, I think. You know, we seem to be
flitting around in some sort of twenty year time loop. 1973..."

"Well, 1993..." Sarah caught on, and then realized the current
implications. "...2013?!"

"Yeah, well time distortion of this nature requires an exact localized
focus."

"But why this street market in London?" The Third Doctor stopped and
looked at Sarah.

"This isn't the focus, Sarah."


In the Rani's TARDIS, she was monitoring the Third Doctor's
conversation.

"The wandering fools! They're getting too near the truth." The Rani
looked up at her henchman. "Release the specimens!"


The Fifth Doctor, Nyssa, and Perpugilliam Brown were on a sidewalk.
Suddenly, an energy bolt blasted the ground near them. They jumped
back against a wall. Nyssa looked up at the Doctor.

"Feeding time at the zoo?" She asked.

"And the companions went in two by two," the Doctor responded gravely.

"This isn't Noah's Ark, Doctor!" Peri exclaimed. A Cyberman and an
Ogron were marching towards the group.
"Maybe it is," the Fifth Doctor answered. He unrolled his hat and put
it on. "When I say run, run... RUN!" The Doctor made a mad dash away
from the Cyberman and Ogron, accompanied by Nyssa and Peri. The
Cyberman fired his Cybergun at them. The Doctor looked around and
started running in the opposite direction from his companions. "This
way!"

"No!" Peri cried out. The Doctor spun around and chased after his
companions. Peri ran up to a woman standing in the middle of the
square.

"Look out! You've got to clear the streets, you're in terrible
danger!" She yelled to the woman.

"What's your game?" The woman asked, looking at Peri strangely.

"You've got to get away from here!" Nyssa reiterated.

"Who says? You start shoving me around, you'll know about it!"

"It's no good," the Fifth Doctor shook his head, "they're in different
Time Zones-- to them we're the strangers!" The Fifth Doctor dashed
away, followed by his companions.  Monsters appeared in store windows
and on street stands.

The Fifth Doctor was wandering around aimlessly.

"Have you any idea where we're going?" Peri asked.

"Doctor, where's the TARDIS?" Nyssa inquired. The Doctor ran for a
park.

"Twenty years back and three miles away! COME ON! He shoved them past
the gate into the park.


At the other end of the park, they ran to the gate, which was locked
with a padlock and chain. A menagerie of monsters lines the streets
outside the park, including a Robot, a Time Lord, an Ogron, a
Cyberman, and many more. The Doctor looked out across the street at
the Queen Victoria bar. The Rani stood outside with her gun aimed at
them.

"You can't escape, Doctor!" The Rani yelled out. "Say goodbye,
Doctors! You're all going on a long journey! A VERY long journey!"


The Rani was pacing to and fro in her TARDIS.

"I now have everything I want apart from one earthling. My menagerie
is almost complete. Prepare to re-materialize at the center of the
Earth Time Meridian: Greenwich.


Two men walk into some sort of warehouse. One pushes the door open.

"I thought you said you locked it," the guy who opened the door said
to the other.

"I did. Someone must've broken in," the other responded.

"What's going on here?" One of them asked. Suddenly they noticed a
figure crouching behind one of the cars.

"Here, you! What's your game?" The figure stands up. It is the Lady
Romanadvoratrelundar, in her second incarnation.

"I was looking for the Doctor, if it's really any of your business,"
Romana answered, as she walked toward them.

"Well you won't find him in here, he lives at number one Albert Square
over there." One of the men pointed toward the Square. "I suggest you
leave."

"Have you've seen the Doctor?" Romana asked him.

"Yeah. Doctor Legg, he's the only doctor around here, though."

"Doctor Who?" Romana walked out of the warehouse, and down a sidewalk.
Outside of Vic (the Queen Victoria Bar), Romana paused for a second to
look at something. Suddenly, witnessed by a spectator, Romana is
grabbed and dragged into the bar. An evil woman's laugh fills the air,
followed by the sound of a TARDIS dematerializing. The spectator looks
very confused.

"Well, I've seen them thrown out of Vic, but, uh, never dragged in!"

The Third Doctor and Victoria Waterfield are walking on the deck of
the Cutty Sark.

"I should be taking it easy, not bounding around like some megaluthian
slime skimmer," the Third Doctor stated.

Victoria looked a bit frightened.

Who was that terrible woman?" she cried out. By now, the Third Doctor
was walking down the stairs leading off the Cutty Sark.

"Oh, it's the Rani! Her handiwork is behind all this confusion in
time. And now her control is beginning to break down." The Doctor
reached the ground, in the garden, and spotted the TARDIS. "Ah, good,
there's the TARDIS. Come on Victoria!"

The two entered the TARDIS, and it dematerialized.


In some sort of courtyard, perhaps the Greenwich Meridian, the TARDIS
rematerialized. The Seventh Doctor got out of his TARDIS in time to
see the Rani's TARDIS materialize among the pillars of a nearby
walkway, disguised as an obelisk.

"The Rani's TARDIS!" he whispered out loud. Leela walked out of the
Rani's TARDIS, looking slightly confused for a moment. She looked
around until she spotted the Seventh Doctor.

"Doctor!" She ran over to the Doctor.

"I see she let you go," the Seventh Doctor responded.

"Not before she cloned me, though. She's got a menagerie of clones in
there," Leela commented helpfully.

"She's attempting to transfer a massive time tunnel," the Doctor
explained, "to the Greenwich meridian."

"She has a computer in there with genetic codes and brain prints of
every living creature in the entire universe."

Leela struggled to remember these details.

"And with it, evolution is hers to control!" The Doctor was very
worried. Suddenly, a thought struck him. "Except... What form were you
in when she cloned you?" Leela stalled for time. "Now think, it's very
important." Leela suddenly remembered.

"Romana!" A look of excitement came over the Doctor's face when Leela
said this.

"A Time Lady! That means there are two Time Brains in the Rani's
computer!" The Seventh Doctor and Leela rushed into the Doctor's
TARDIS.

"It'll overload," a mysterious voice comments.

"Thirty seconds until computer achieving full power status, Mistress,"
the henchman announced.

"Excellent!" the Rani remarked triumphantly.


Back at the Meridian, the Seventh Doctor was still there, but now with
Ace and K-9. the Doctor handed Ace a piece of equipment. Wires were
strewn all over the place, some connected to the Rani's TARDIS.

"Hold this," he ordered.

"Twenty-five seconds, Master," K-9 announced.

"I'm trying to override the Rani's computer and harness the power of
the time tunnel to pull her TARDIS in and not me," the Doctor
explained to Ace.

"I assume it's not as easy as it sounds," Ace responded.

"Of course not!"

"Twenty seconds," K-9 announced.

"I must try and free my other incarnations!" The Seventh Doctor
pressed his hands to his temples in extreme concentration. "Join me,"
the Seventh Doctor said telepathically to his other selves.

"We must pull free," the voice of the Third Doctor echoed.

"We must succeed," the voice of the Fifth Doctor remarked.

Precisely," the voice of the Sixth Doctor agreed.

"Good luck," the voice of the Fourth Doctor stated. The Seventh Doctor
returned to reality.

"Five seconds," K-9 announced.

"K-9, activate the converter!" the Seventh Doctor ordered.

"Three...Two..." K-9 counted down.

"One... Here goes!" The Seventh Doctor flipped a switch on one of the
pieces of equipment. There was a loud bang and an explosion in the
Rani's TARDIS. The voice of the Rani, screaming 'No' was heard as an
aura surrounded the Rani's TARDIS, which promptly disappeared.


The images of the first two Doctors escape the Time Tunnel, and the
Rani's TARDIS is sucked into the Tunnel.


"What did you do to her?" Ace asked the Doctor. The Doctor answered
her while collecting the various bits of equipment he took from his
TARDIS.

"Well, there were two Time Brains in her computer. And I used it to
propel her into the trap she set for me!"

"So now your other selves are all free?" Ace asked.

"Certainly I, I mean we, are difficult to get rid of." The Doctor
pushed open the door to the TARDIS and laughed.
