In reality, the planet Zeos was deserted save for a giant computer called [[Mentalis]], which was controlling the war. The true enemy was a third planet called the [[Third planet]], ruled by [[The Shadow|the Shadow]].
The Shadow had imprisoned Drax and made him work for him. He agreed to help the Doctor. With his assistance, The Doctor recovered the final segment of the Key to Time. Afterwards, Drax stayed on Atrios to help rebuild. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'')
