![]() ![]() This came to an end when Krikkit launched the Krikkit War. ( PROSE: The Quantum Archangel)Īt some point, the White Guardian used the Key to Time to bring an era of peace to the universe, which was represented by the Wicket Gate. In the distant past, the Council of Guardians used the Key to wipe the memories of the participants in the Millennium War, and later used it to spin from the same primal materials the crystal prison within which they trapped Kronos. In another source still, the Guardians claimed to have forged the Key, and the Jewel, from primal materials. ( PROSE: Power to the People)Īccording to yet another account, the Key to Time was originally created by the Grace - powerful beings from outside of time who used the Guardians of Time as their agents. He also failed to anticipate that the Guardian would splinter into two halves upon entering the physical world, one good and one evil, who would spend more of their time and energy fighting one another than guarding the Key and the universe. He did not expect that the Key would ever need to be used more than once, to replace the heart of the universe when it wore out halfway through the lifetime of the universe. ( PROSE: The Legacy of Gallifrey)Īccording to another account, God created the Key to Time as well as a singular Guardian, and sent both of them into the universe He had created. Rassilon then entrusted the Key to the two Guardians he had created. Postar's Scrolls claimed that the Key was created by Rassilon shortly after his physical death, alongside the White Guardian and Black Guardian, using the greater mental powers that he wielded from within the Matrix. There were many conflicting accounts concerning the origins of the Key. The Warrior and Davros served as the Key to end the Time War after the President destroyed the physical Key. In at least one reality, the Key was essentially able to manifest in the personification of those who assembled the six segments without the need for the cube of the key itself to serve as a physical construct. However, this latter perk was not available to the Guardians. Anyone who had once held the key would gain the ability to access the heart in perpetuity, even if they no longer physically held the artefact. The Key could be used to access the "heart" of the universe, so that it could be replaced if damaged or drained. ( TV: The Armageddon Factor, AUDIO: The Chaos Pool) Reconfiguring the sixth segment into its original form before doing so to the fifth segment would cause a temporal quake that could rip apart the space-time continuum. ![]() The sixth segment in particular was supposedly the most powerful of the segments ( AUDIO: Luna Romana) and repeatedly took on an organic configuration when disguised. It could rewrite matter, change the state of quanta and start and stop the universe. ( TV: The Armageddon Factor) It was said to maintain balance and equilibrium, similarly to the Eye of Harmony - with the result that disrupting the links between the segments could damage the fabric of the universe. The Key didn't affect its operators, in order to let them use it. ( AUDIO: Ferril's Folly) Alternatively, the segments could be turned back into their disguised forms. ( TV: The Androids of Tara) They could be transformed back into their original form by the Core to the Key to Time, or dispersed by it, reforming somewhere else in another form. ( TV: The Power of Kroll) The individual segments were very tough and resistant to damage The Taran Lamia blunted two of her diamond drills experimenting on one of them. ![]() ( AUDIO: Ferril's Folly) Another fragment gave its holder the ability to see the future, and demonstrated enough power to make a normal-sized squid grow to gigantic proportions after swallowing it. ( TV: The Stones of Blood) Romana warned the Doctor that transforming another piece back to its four dimensional crystalline form would suck an incoming Cronquist invasion force to Earth "in the twinkling of an eye". Cessair of Diplos had found out how to use the segment she had obtained to travel to Earth, and use its power of transmogrification, temporarily appearing as the Fourth Doctor to Romana. Temporary segments could be created if one had enough components of the original Key to access at least some of its power, but this was dangerous as the Key's segments were linked on a fundamental level. 2.5 Search by the Doctor's seventh incarnationĮxisting at every point in time, ( PROSE: The Well-Mannered War) its shape was that of a perfect transdimensional crystalline cube, an orderly pattern extending through four dimensions, comprised of six segments pieced together to gain the full power of the Key.2.4 Search by the Doctor's fifth incarnation.2.3 The Doctor's first quest for the segments. ![]()
