“GET THIS NONSENSE, THIS POLLUTION OUT OF MY HEAD!”

|| ...Meanwhile in your neocortex... www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmUx...

“Smart.”

Her gaze dropped from the Rani to the ground. Staring at it as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. "... I won't ask any more questions." She said, quietly. "I know better. I apologize."

“Contaminated. Rassilon above this is out of control.”

"A Time Lord and a human. Their names don't matter."

“Good. Who are your parents?”

Freezes. Then her eyes dim a little, the excitement draining out of her. But the smile remains! "Oh. Yes, ma'am."

“You heard me, mutt.”

"....Excuse me?"

She rolled her eyes. “This is why we don’t mingle with lesser species, they could never understand.”

"You are saying a whole bunch of words I don't know, ma'am. Hold on, let me get my journal to write some of this down."

“We were rendered sterile by the great schism.”

"Sterile?" Blink. Blink. "Are you sure about that?"

“Our species is sterile. Its a repopulation tactic. I have no control over it.”

"I have so many questions. Why? Why would that be a thing? What makes it happen? Does it hurt worse than normal regeneration? Because that hurts pretty bad."

“Unfortunately.”

Her smile remained. But down by her sides, her one hand started to fidget, thumb rubbing against index finger. Subtle enough, but still there. "That's.... um.... possible?"

“Yes. Unfortunately, I split into two Ranis.”

She blinked a few times. Rapid blinks, almost as if she was a machine trying to reboot. Through it all, her smile remained on her face. ".... bi....regenerated...?"

“Well there is my biregnerated counterpart. Though I dont regard her as a proper Rani.”

"People assume things about me all of the time, ma'am. So, are there any more out there? Or is it just... the three? Four if you include me, I guess."

“So you are a Time Lord. Yes I can smell the stench of human on you. Apologies for misidentifying your species.”

"I meant... Time Lords other than myself. I've met the Doctor. The Master, too. Didn't think there were any others."

“Ugh. And why would a Time Lord waste their time with you? Why should I waste my time with you?”

She doesn't bat an eye to that. She's used to harsh treatment. She's still beaming. "It's a pleasure to meet you! I was born after the whole... y'know... Time War thing. So I never get to meet other Time Lords."

“I am the Rani. And I could care less who you are.”

"Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! No way! Another one?" Her eyes lit up. She seemed to forget that she had any issues at all.

“I am a Time Lord, you lesser mind. We do not bow to pressure. We are perfect in everyway compared to you inferior beings.”

"Well, I think the Doctor is pretty awesome. And, like, of course the Time Lords of the past were flawed? Everyone is flawed? And finally, *remaking the Time Lords*? Singlehandedly? That's a lot of pressure to put on yourself, ma'am."

“In what way?” She said with a sneer.

Blink. Blink. "Every word you just said was more concerning than the last."

“The Doctor once again proving my point that the Timelords of the past were flawed. Once I remake the Timelords, people like the Doctor will be a thing of the past.”

She pressed a button and the Rani activated her Vortex manipulator, teleporting out.

*The Doctor looked between them both. He looked at The Rani & then back at UNIT & Torchwood who said nothing apart from one word* Sorry *The Doctor shook his head* No don't do this. It's not right

She set her Time Ring, planning to go the alternate world.

"Sounds good to me" The Rani said to her Bigenerated Incarnation.

“The one on Gamma Quadrant B. It shall do nicely.”

"Indeed" she went "Which Universe should we go first Rani" The Rani asked her Bigenerated Incarnation.

She took it. “Now our great work can continue.”

~ Time Ring.

“Very well. Let us do so.”

"We could bigenerate the time ring" she went "Then we both have our own Time Ring and then we can augment our Time Rings so we can travel to other parallel universes just like you said" The Rani said to her Bigenerated Incarnation.

“Hm….perhaps that could work. Perhaps if we could augment the Time Ring to enter these Universes…”

"You know there are Parallel Universes out there that we can bring a Parallel universe version of Omega to our Universe and ask him to make Brand New Time Lords" The Rani said to her Bigenerated Incarnation.

“Ugh. Two Doctors. A nightmare.”

"I think Bigeneration is a good thing it means that there are more time lords out there" she went "remember The Doctor Bigenerated" The Rani said to her Bigenerated Incarnation.

“Unfortunately, youre correct. Bigeneration should have remained a myth.”

"Well without the TARDIS the time ring was the only thing I could use" she went "and we ended up on Earth" she said "You know that we are the same" she went "you do have the same memories as me" The Rani said to her Bigenerated Incarnation.

“They are inferior in every sense to us Timelords. You have been spending too much time with them.”

"I think Humans are interesting" The Rani said to her Bigenerated Incarnation.

“They will suffice as proper servants. Humans are so…malleable. Genetically inferior.”

The Rani looked at her Bigenerated Incarnation's experiments "Well this looks interesting" The Rani said to her Bigenerated Incarnation.

“Stranded on this world. Thanks to you stealing my time ring. I have been experimenting on the local species as you can see.”

The Rani slowly put her gun down "So what have you been up to since I last saw you" The Rani asked her Bigenerated Incarnation.

She squinted her eyes, slowly she crouched to put her gun down.

"Then put your gun down and then I will put mine down" The Rani said to her Bigenerated Incarnation.

“It seems so. But the mutants only obey me, kill me and the mutants will be out of control.”
