The First Doctor, Jo, Tyler, and Jon are brought before Omega in a magnificent Throne Room, having been transported to his antimatter world. Omega, a legendary Time Lord thought destroyed, reveals his identity and his deep-seated desire for revenge against the Time Lords who he believes abandoned him. He immediately asserts his power by separating Jo and Tyler from the Doctor, declaring them irrelevant to his vengeance. Omega recounts his history, explaining how he was sacrificed to a supernova to generate the colossal energy necessary for Time Lord travel, only to be left for dead and trapped in this black hole of antimatter. He now wields control over the singularity, using its immense power to create this new reality. Omega demands the Doctor's cooperation in his plan to defeat the Time Lords and achieve absolute power, threatening the lives of his companions if he refuses. The Doctor recognizes the profound danger Omega poses, not only to the Time Lords but to the fabric of the entire universe, as Omega's actions are causing a cosmic energy drain. This initial confrontation establishes the central conflict, Omega's formidable power, and the dire consequences of his vengeful ambition, compelling the Doctor to find a way to stop him.
