Alright, this is going to be long but I'll try to keep it brief as possible. It's an idea I had that I think would be an excellent way to write out of certain lingering plot points using 4 "2 Hour Long Specials" similar to Ten's final moments. However I'll keep the entire idea under one long flowing story to save space. So if you don't want to read it, I shall not blame you:

Summary: The Doctor with new companion, Clara, decide to go and check up on some former companions as part of his "downtime" since nothing exciting has happened in the last while they've been traveling. First he arrives in London in 1852, one year after meeting Jackson Lake during "The Next Doctor" special. And it appears as most of London has become quite uncaring of The Doctor since his last visit. People slamming their doors in his face or telling him to "bugger off" when he inquires about Jackson. Finally a small boy says he shouldn't tell him this but Jackson left to go travel as well after being made a scapegoat for what happened. The Doctor asks him what happened but the boy runs away instead of answering.

The Doctor and Clara confused decide to check up on another former companion, Craig Owens. They drop by his home but only find an eviction notice on the door. They both realize Craig's car is gone and it looks like nobody's cut the grass in a few months. They go to a neighbour who says that the family was nothing but trouble after the last time The Doctor came around and said everyone in the neighborhood complained to get them out. "Good riddance to them and to you." Having no idea where he, Sophie, and Alfie (Stormaggedon) went, they decide to try one last companion, Captain Jack Harkness.

This time they manage to find Captain Jack in the same bar Ten found him in "The End Of Time". Eleven asks why he's still here not expecting to find him. Jack says while it's been a short time he doesn't know why Eleven bothered to show his face again. Eleven confused demands to know what's going on with his friends. Jack explains Eleven was here not too long ago creating a fuss over Jack's existence and how Eleven came to erase it. Jack narrowly survived after the bar defended him and Eleven fled. Eleven, after Clara says he was with him and they were never here, asks Jack if "he" left anything behind. Jack says he actually gave him something while he fled and apologized. Jack pulls out a small device the size of a PEZ dispenser. The Doctor examines it but pockets it. He then requests if Jack can look after Clara for a short while. Jack agrees after initial hesitance and Eleven thanks him and will have everything cleared up shortly. Jack then remarks one last thing as Eleven is leaving... that like right now he had another girl with him, Jack figured it was just a new companion since the last time he saw him just like how he regenerated again but she never spoke a word, only stared blankly at him.

Eleven enters his TARDIS and clearly knows something is wrong. Someone is posing as him and sabotaging his "good name", no less with a possible innocent female victim at his side. Eleven inserts the device into his TARDIS for a scan but instead everything begins to go haywire and realizes he just mistakenly injected the TARDIS with some kind of virus. He questions what he just did knowing he would never make such a blatant mistake just as the TARDIS completely powers down on him. He throws a fit before exiting back to Jack/Clara. He tells them what just happened and Jack says wherever he intended to go he still has his Vortex Manipulator he can borrow. Eleven notes he deactivated Jack's a long time ago (during "Last of the Time Lords"), and Jack confesses he bought a new one from Dorium Maldovar. Eleven says Dorium isn't capable of that anymore, Jack says a young Dorium is.

All three then leave, using Jack's Manipulator, to see young Dorium (before the events of "A Good Man Goes To War") by Jack's direction. Upon finding Dorium at his usual black market home they learn from him that Eleven and his "companion" came with gifts for Dorium in exchange for telling any Doctor who sought him out a specific set of coordinates. Jack questions it being a trap while Clara says it could be a simple location for conversation. Dorium echoes that both could be right or both could be wrong and that it instead is an inevitability whether Eleven wants to go or not... he must. Dorium then hands Eleven a "fix" to his TARDIS problem in the form of an identical device. But as well there's one other thing "Eleven" wanted him to know. That the Vortex Manipulators "Eleven" gifted Dorium were from the crew of the Tesselecta's corpses. Eleven in a rush of anger raises his Sonic and deactivates the entire bunch next to Dorium who protests as Eleven storms out.

Against Jack's wishes Eleven says he's going but first deactivates Jack's new Manipulator and says "nobody should have that much power... sometimes not even me. Because sometimes I scare myself at what I could do with it." Then again asks Jack to look after Clara until he returns. Jack asks her if she likes bars as Dorium chimes in that he wouldn't mind a drink now that his current product has been rendered useless remarking someone's even stolen one while saying he knows a quaint place. Eleven reveals he stole the missing Manipulator and returns to his TARDIS and uses Dorium device to jump-start it again.

Eleven then enters the coordinates he was given but instead of manually moving, the TARDIS is suddenly ripped by force through time, a note indicating that "The Doctor has been summoned." appears on his small screen. The TARDIS then lands roughly as The Doctor grins inspecting what just happened around the TARDIS Console. He exits and walks out into what appears to be a giant domed, enclosed circular structure. But also sees that he is in a room with three doors ahead, one behind and a monitor above the middle door ahead. He edges closer to it before it flickers on. He steps back in surprise and stares at his own face.

"Hello... *me*." says the 'Eleven' in a snide tone. "Who are you? Why have you been impersonating me? More importantly, why bring me here?" the Doctor questions. "Because you need to be shown what you are. What the image before you truly is. A lie." "Rule number one." "Oh don't even bother with your cutesy 'rules' that don't even actually exist." "What do you want?" "I want you to be punished for everything you've become." "How cliche-..."

The Doctor then begins noticing things on the impostor. One side of his neck is a slightly paler color, his retinas are a slightly more red tone and his hair appears to be flatter than it normally is. "I know you... But you-" "Were left to waste while you graciously took it upon yourself to leave me and escape the fate that you left me to. You stole the life that I could have, *should* have been allowed... *earned*... gifted..." "You're... my Ganger... But how? How did you escape and why are you doing this?" "Because you've gone out of control with the gift of life you were given and the TARDIS you stole. The same one I called you here with and have trapped here."

The Doctor, once again begins seeing the Ganger alter. His skin begins getting paler and his eyes more red with a darker black outline. "You're dying... again. You're losing your molecular structure... literally falling apart." "And that is *my* gift... I know what purpose I serve now. The last moments of myself will be used as a learning tool for you." The Ganger Doctor then reveals that behind each door is a series of puzzles for The Doctor to solve. And at the end of each path is one of his loved ones, Captain Jack, Clara, and one The Ganger Doctor refuses to reveal as a "surprise". Dorium had tricked Jack/Clara to go to the bar and gave them over to The Ganger Doctor to use in exchange for more product knowing The Doctor would deactivate the Vortex Manipulators. The Doctor remarks that he needs to move future Dorium's head to a shallow pit of quick sand so small animals can use him as a stepping stone over it.

The Ganger Doctor then asks if The Doctor is willing to step onto the field of "warfare" once again to save them or if he'll turn around and run away like he always does. The Doctor then accepts The Ganger Doctor's challenge knowing there's no other way out of this. The Ganger Doctor then says there is a few rules of his own The Doctor must follow. Each room has a set time limit. While each room does not need to be fully solved to continue on, each time he fails a test the companion at the end of that series of puzzles will be given a very unpleasant electrical shock, getting more dangerous the closer to the end/the companions they get. And one other thing, inside his "Arena", The Doctor's aging process has been disabled and sped up 3 fold. The monitor flips to The Ganger Doctor's point of view and shows The Doctor now slightly aged with gray hair. "Well now, that isn't any closer to a ginger color now is it?"

"Let the battle in the Arena begi-" bellows The Ganger Doctor but not before being cut off by a grinning Doctor. "You know... I pondered why earlier I made the mistake of just scanning your device to disable my TARDIS. It was such an obvious error to make that it was almost like you and I were... in sync with each other." "That's because here in the Arena, we are. We're the same person, so when I or you age, the other does as well. When one makes a mistake-" "-the other does too. And you've made a very, very large mistake. You think you've got this whole plan... trap figured out. Well, if there's one thing you don't put into a tra-" "Get on with it." "You called the TARDIS, *my* TARDIS here. You sent out a beacon, a forceful grip out to grab it and tear it out of proper time and space to place here. But what you don't realize is that the moment I got here I double checked a few things and you miscalculated. You merely sent out a signal to grab the TARDIS... but not *just* my TARDIS..."

*Whooosh-whoooosh-whoooosh*

The Doctor smiles confidently as behind him several more TARDISes appear, six more to be exact. "You sent out a signal for the TARDIS but you never specified just one. Or *who's* TARDIS. And if there's one thing I know about my sexy blue box is that it always takes a specific Doctor in any point in time to where they need to go." *Snap* And with a snap of The Doctor's fingers the six TARDISes lined up side by side all swing open... and one by one The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and lastly Tenth Doctor make a dramatic return. The Ganger Doctor quickly wipes his face before entering in some commands as another 4 TARDISes begin to materialize before suddenly vanishing. "You may have brought seven of you, but there is no way I would allow all of you to come here..."

All Seven Doctors, sharing in-sync memories and a disabled aging process with a 3 times faster rate of aging in real time, to explain why they look older, accept The Ganger Doctor's Arena challenge. They then split off into three groups. The Fourth, Sixth, and Seventh Doctors go to save the young girl Clara, The Eighth and Eleventh Doctor to go rescue Captain Jack while The Fifth and Tenth Doctors go to rescue the mysterious third companion.

At first the first two groups seem to be able to function properly before being slowly manipulated and coerced into arguing amongst each other by The Ganger Doctor. They then fail a test in each pathway (Jack and Clara's) causing them physical pain from the shock. The Fifth and Tenth Doctors who are getting along marvelously give them a speech to work together or else they could lose two innocent lives. They all rally together and finish Jack and Clara's tests freeing them from The Ganger Doctor. The Fifth and Tenth Doctor reach their final room and find that the third companion is The Tenth Doctor's daughter, Jenny, who was the girl who accompanied The Ganger Doctor while he ruined Eleven's "good name" throughout time. Ten in a fit of rage tries to figure out a way to get to the Ganger Doctor while the others slowly calm him down, reminding him that the Time Lord Victorious isn't the Doctor that is needed. Ten calms down then slowly figures out the final puzzle and frees Jenny from The Ganger Doctor's control and confines.

All The Doctors reunite in one room in front of The Ganger Doctor who remarks that just because they have seemingly defeated him in the Arena that they haven't won entirely. He then reveals that he has transported all the TARDISes he has collected at the start throughout history and started an automatic self-destruct sequence in them all. Eleven remembers saving River from his exploding TARDIS and then seemingly, with ease, rebooting the universe with the Pandorica. And now realizes that they knew at the time that it might not work so some other outside force must have helped with it's occurrence. The Seven Doctors then work together quickly while Jack/Clara/Jenny rest watching them all work in awe as Ten watches over The Ganger Doctor with Jack's gun. The Ganger Doctor gloats that Ten is still angry over Jenny's use in his plan. That he is the Time Lord Victorious and all that pent up rage is what later helped turn The Ganger Doctor into what he sees now. When he was created, for some reason, Eleven inadvertently has sent all the burning hate, anger and darkness inside him into the Flesh that made him... Ten's inner darkness that boiled over into Eleven. Jenny stands up whispering to Ten, "a man who never would, dad..." The Ganger Doctor laughs, "A man who never *could*-" *Bang* Ten fires and snaps out of his trance after realizing what he just did.

The Ganger Doctor falls over as every Doctor turns to look at him. Jack/Clara sit stunned as Jenny walks over to him. Ten doesn't know what came over him as Jenny comforts him saying it's not his fault, that the Ganger Doctor had himself and Ten sync'd together in the Arena moreso than the others so that this could be his final master stroke. To turn all of his selves on Ten in a last ditch, desperate effort. Each one offers a bit of their own personal wisdom from their time and then look to Eleven who takes charge and offers Ten a hand to lift him back to his feet instead though. Ten and Eleven then turn and begin working a way out to help the earlier Eleven's hair-brain Pandorica-TARDIS scheme work properly. With the signal they recover from The Ganger Doctor they transmit from Eleven's stolen Vortex Manipulator a frequency to Eleven's exploding TARDIS that allows it to take control of itself in the last possible instant for the plan to work. *Boom*

A bright light flashes and fades in showing that it worked and all The Doctors and companions are safe. They celebrate as Clara points out The Ganger Doctor is getting to his feet. He says that the fields the Arena was built on is on a planet called Trenzalore... and that he now understands. The "sync" between The Doctors and The Ganger Doctor vanishes as they all wonder what he meant until suddenly a bright glowing orange, purple and black energy explodes out of his face and hands... he regenerates into The Valeyard and collapses back onto the ground. "The Fall Of The Eleventh." Eleven understands and says the rest will too one day. Ten flips a switch with an "Allons-y!" and all seven TARDISes materialize behind them in a circular pattern. One by one they each say their goodbyes until The Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors are left. Ten and Eleven tell Eight that soon he will have to make a very hard decision but to not dwell on it as it must be done. Eight says he was going home to Gallifrey actually before this. Ten and Eleven then hand the unconscious Valeyard over in his custody and say that he should take him with him. Eight nods and then vanishes with The Valeyard in tow.

Ten says it was nice seeing Five again who looks at him confused, "Keep your shields up." Five then vanishes into his TARDIS. Four offers Ten and Eleven a jelly baby as they say they haven't had one of them in a very long time as Four shakes his head and says "I don't look forward to the day where I no longer enjoy a jelly baby."

He vanishes away leaving Ten, Eleven, Jack, Clara and Jenny alone. Ten asks Jenny if she'd like to accompany him on an adventure or two but Eleven say he knows he can't do that... two different points in time versions of themselves wouldn't work. They need to follow with him. Ten nods and says "Always left to travel alone in the TARDIS." Jenny then whispers in Ten's ear and he smiles and waves goodbye and vanishes. Eleven then says he's exhausted as Clara asks if that was exciting enough to last him another good while so they can do something she thinks is fun now. He agrees as they leave dropping Jack off first with a handshake, Eleven slips the Vortex Manipulator into his pocket so Jack doesn't notice until he's gone. He then drops Jenny off where she asks him to and does so, revealing she whispered to Ten this location so that their points in time sync'd up a bit better so it wouldn't create a total paradox so they can have at least a few adventures together. Finally leaving Eleven and Clara once more in the TARDIS to travel for Series 8 (9 if you count this Anniversary as Series 8).
