Holds Doctor in present

"combines is ememy of john freeman!" john freeman yelt at doctor as he shake him more thn needed to. doctor was getting pail and not look so good so hhe reach out to jackit and activate driver and stat to go back in time but john couldnt let go and pull him anyway.

The Doctor's eyes widened as he saw what was going on. The Z-Drive was pulling him back in time, but John was keeping him anchored in this time. Before he could even speak up, the whole world around them filled with white. A temporal anomaly zone, localized around the event between The Doctor and John.

Or... Johns. A quick headcount revealed hundreds of John Freeman's. Some injured, some wearing Hunter's licenses, some with long dead eyes, but the one closest to The Doctor, the one still gripping his jacket, wore black body armor and a black mask, an orange logo on his upper arm. John's eyes grew wide as he looked around, his voice muffled by the mask.

"Doctor... Doctor what's happening? Our... our mind isn't our own. So many thoughts. My voice is wrong, I feel, so out of it... what is this?"

The Doctor put a hand on both of John's shoulders. "Alright, stay calm, everything will be fine. This is the Conflux. It is a meeting point of every possible John Freeman at this point in time across every possible universes."

John Freeman started to panic. His normal people clothes had been replaced with black armor, it was harder to breathe under this mask... mask? John put two hands to his face and realized what, exactly, he had become. "...Combine," he muttered as all the gears previously loose in his head clicked together at once.

"Pardon?" The Doctor inquired only to be again lifted into the air.

"You've turned me into a combine, Doctor. I've figured it out. I've figured it aaaaaall out. Multidimensional travel, bizarre technology, an inexplicable knowledge of myself and the what I am. Doctor... you are the next boss. And I... I was too late."
