The Name of the Doctor [Part 5 - FINAL]

Inside, Tomb, Console room...

Everyone ascended up the staircase into the console room, but instead of the time rotor and console, there was a tangle of bright white energy tendrils in a column, a sparkling sapphire blue occasionally flickering through. The Cloister Bell was tolling from somewhere, and ivy had crawled over the railings.

"What's that?" Lucas pointed to the tangle in the middle of the room.

"What were you expecting? Bodies?" The Doctor asked. "Bodies are boring. I've had loads of them. And Lex, well, she's only had one body. But... she chose to get involved with me. It's no wonder she'd end up here, too... Nah, that's not what our tomb is for."

"But what is the light?" Marguerite frowned.

"It's beautiful." Jenny grinned.

"Should I destroy it?" Strax suggested.

"Shut up, Strax." Vastra hissed.

"Okay, will someone please explain what that is?" Clara asked.

"The tracks of our tears." The Doctor answered.

"Less poetry, Doctor." The Great Intelligence glared. "Just tell them."

He sighed. "Time travel is damage. It's like a tear in the fabric of reality. That is the scar tissue of my journey through the universe."

He used his sonic on the tear, and soon, various voices started filling the room, one of them was not the Doctor's.

"Have you ever thought what it's like to be wanderers in the fourth dimension?" The First Doctor asked.

"Daleks, Cybermen, they're still in the nursery compare to us." The Sixth Doctor huffed.

"Do I have the right?" The Fourth Doctor wondered.

"Are you a policeman?" Seven year old Alexis Pond's voice broke in, making the Doctor close his eyes as he remembered the first time he and Lexi met.

"There are corners of the universe that have bred the most dangerous things." The Second Doctor said.

"You were fantastic." The Ninth Doctor's voice broke through. "Absolutely fantastic."

"I'm the Doctor." The Doctor grinned when he heard his last self's voice, the Tenth Doctor's. "I'm from Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous."

"We can't let that happen... I can't let you die without knowing you are loved by so many and so much..." Lexi's voice broke through, making the Doctor smile at the memory of the day he and Lexi got married. "...And by no one more than me."

"Hello, Stonehenge!" The current (Eleventh) Doctor's voice whooped, making Lexi smirk slightly at the excitement in his voice.

"My own personal Time tunnel, interlinked with the Glorious's from the moment we met... From Gallifrey, to Leadworth, to Trenzalore." The Doctor explained, not seeing the Great Intelligence's face split into a cruel grin at his words. "All the days."

"It was the dasiest daisy I'd ever seen." The Third Doctor said.

"I will go with you and stand by your side through whatever the universe throws at us." Lexi's voice finished, speaking the words she had said to the Doctor not that long ago.

The Doctor squeezed his wife's hand tightly at that. "Even the ones we, er... even the ones we haven't lived yet -"

He then collapsed suddenly, Lexi bending down to help him.
