== Plot ==
=== Issue 1 ===
A [[Adam Mitchell|cloaked figure]] studies images of the Doctor in solitude. He reflects on the legacy of the Doctor, as well as what he is capable of. He then notes that the Doctor has always had friends, and that he will have to change that...
 
[[The TARDIS]] arrives at the [[Royal College of Surgeons]] in [[London]], [[England]] in the year [[1868]]. The [[First Doctor]], [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]], [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]], and [[Vicki]] step out. The group has arrived to meet [[Thomas Huxley]], a friend of the Doctor's and [[evolution]] supporter. After attending his lecture, they meet with Thomas. Huxley is happy to see the group, but is soon called away. Thomas explains that he and some of his pupils must go searching the [[London Underground]] for a group of missing students. The Doctor convinces him to let them come along.
[[File:Zarbi in London Undergrounds 2.jpg|thumb|left|The group encounters the [[Zarbi]].]]
Some time later, the Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki arrive at the entrance to the London Undergrounds to help look for the students. They find a fresh trail of footprints leading to a mysterious passage, covered in webs. Vicki begins suffering from headaches, something which last happened to her on [[Vortis]]. Barbara reminds her that they are far away from Vortis and that there can't be a connection. Suddenly, the group finds themselves surrounded by [[Zarbi]].
 
The group tries to fight them off, but the Doctor suggests against it, saying that going with them is the only way to find the missing students. Ian, Huxley, and the Doctor are split away from the rest of the group, who are given gold mind-control bracelets to wear. At the Doctor's suggestion, Ian and Huxley fight off the Zarbi and the trio escape.
 
After searching the tunnels, the Doctor finds the [[Animus]], who says a seed of it remained despite the destruction. It has reformed itself on [[Earth]] to get revenge on the Doctor. The Animus plans to take over Earth with an army of Zarbi drones, but before he can enact his plan he is hit by a [[train]] piloted by Ian.
[[File:Animus hit by train.jpg|thumb|The [[Animus]] is hit by a [[train]].]]
The Doctor uses a portal to send the Zarbi home. After some debate, the Doctor convinces Huxley to keep quiet about what he has seen. Huxley leaves, noting that he hates leaving the Doctor alone. The Doctor notes that the Animus could not have reformed on its own, and that the portal used to bring it here was beyond its technological abilities. The Doctor suggests further investigation to his companions, but is shocked to find them missing.
 
=== Issue 2 ===
The [[Second Doctor]], [[Jamie McCrimmon]], and [[Zoe Heriot]] land the TARDIS in a shop filled with hundreds of [[Police box|police boxes]]. They learn from a [[Police box salesman|salesman]] that they are in a Police Box section of the universal trading post, the [[Frenko Bazaar]], a famous intergalactic trading post, where one could buy "just about anything." The Doctor sees some [[Voraxx]] and mentions they are involved in the slave trade.
 
The Doctor, in an attempt to take down the slave market, places a homing device on Jamie, and followed some Voraxx into Stellar Imports & Exports to gain their attention. A member told the Doctor that Jamie, coming from the past, was worth a mint. When he said Jamie wasn't for sale, the Voraxx members followed them.
 
[[File:Watching.jpg|thumb|the [[White Robot]]s]]
The Voraxx kidnap Jamie, and take him aboard a slaver ship in orbit. Following Jamie's signal, the Doctor and Zoe found the trans-mat that led to the ship and found Jamie. They then awoke two Ice Warriors, who started an uprising. The slaves took over the ship under Ice Warrior leadership, forcing the slavers to leave. As the trio teleported back to the shop, the Doctor was shocked to find his companions missing, having been captured by the [[Adam Mitchell|cloaked figure]].
 
=== Issue 3 ===
[[Liz Shaw]] recalls the [[Third Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] back to Earth, explaining that the Brigadier has been acting strange; he is sending UNIT men all around the world in random positions and acting surprisingly violent. The Doctor has soldiers hold him down, and under close inspection discovers he has been taken over by a [[Remoraxian]]. He builds a ray that frees the Brigadier from the creature's control and the Brigadier explains what happened.
 
He explains that he was infected at a [[UNIT Nautical Research Facility]] on the coast, and explains that the Remoraxians have taken it over. Not only have the creatures begun taking over people, they have also began to change the weather.
 
The Doctor uses a device to eject the Ramoraxian parasite.  He travels in Bessie and later the Whomobile to reach the UNIT sea base. The Doctor is nearly drowned but saved by Sarah and Liz. The Ramoraxian Prime wants to flood the world to make it suitable for his species. [[Richard Nixon]] sends bombers to destroy England and the Ramoraxians.  The Brigadier and the Doctor convince the Ramoraxians that the people from Earth are crazy, the Brigadier saying they live with the threat of nuclear destruction anyway, and they head off in their ship, meaning the bombers are called off.  The hooded figure appears and uses a [[Vortex manipulator]] to steal away Sarah Jane, Liz, and the Brigadier.
 
=== Issue 4 ===
[[File:Priosners_of_Time_4_2.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Fourth Doctor]] and Leela witness the Judoon's patrols]]
The story starts with [[Leela]], wearing the Doctor’s hat and working over a math problem presented by K9. The Doctor promises to take Leela a banquet on the farmworld Agratis.  He also mentions the Jewel of Fawton that has brought tourism to the world.  They exit the Tardis to find the world covered by armoured vehicles and rockets.  The Doctor rushes them back to the Tardis, gets his long scarf caught, and slams the Tardis door before the [[Judoon]] close on them.
[[File:Leela_breaks_into_a_Judoon_ship.png|thumb|The Judoon meet [[Leela]].]]
[[K9]] reports that he has found transmissions that indicate that the Judoon were called in because the Jewel of Fawton was stolen.  The Doctor travels back to the planet to see his friend Mason Vox and his daughter Celia.  They all travel to the museum where they see Curator Frez.  Celia reveals to her father that her boyfriend, Roget, had stolen the jewel.  The Judoon will rip apart the planet, but the Doctor hopes to find Roget, the jewel, and restore it to its proper place.  The Doctor sends Leela and K-9 to distract the Judoon while the others go after the jewel.  They travel to wind carved caves that resemble something out of 127 Hours’ Canyonlands National Park.  Mason Vox and Curator Frez explain that the world was harsh until they found the jewel and terraformed the planet.  They enter some crystalline caverns and Mason falls.  Switch to topside at the city, where Leela leaps to the top of one of the armoured vehicles.  She pops into the hatch and the next moment, the Judoon is seen hurtling out of the door.
 
Leela picks up two explosive bandoliers and has K-9 pilot the vehicle as she kicks down a Judoon riding a hover bike.  Then, she passes under the legs of a Judoon scout walker and uses the explosives to destroy its legs.  Back in the cave, the Doctor uses his long scarf so Mason can pull himself up.  They find the young Roget, he is busy placing the jewel back where it was found, with Curator Frez not wanting him to activate it Total Recall style. [[Crystalline creature (Prisoners of Time)|Crystalline insect-like creatures]] start to move.  Roget explains that when their crystal was removed, they went into a hibernation state.  The Doctor explains that now that the jewel is returned to its rightful rulers that the Judoon will withdraw.  Leela is sitting at a banquet table with three Judoon.  The Doctor offers them a jelly baby.
[[File:Leela_and_K9_are_captured.jpg|thumb|The [[Cloaked figure (Prisoners of Time)|Cloaked figure]] captures Leela and K9.]]
The hooded figure watches the Doctor through binoculars and uses the Vortex Manipulator to appear at the banquet. Telling the Doctor that he "deserves" a lifetime of empty tables, he takes away K-9 and Leela before the Doctor’s startled eyes.
 
=== Issue 5 ===
 
Somewhere in a place between places, the hooded figure tries out a new weapon, which he uses on a fake TARDIS as a target; he then storms out and walks past all of the Doctor's companions that he has collected thus far.
[[File:Prisoners_of_Time_issue_5_1.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor and [[Tegan Jovanka]] meet the [[Rutan Host]]. ]]
Meanwhile the TARDIS materialises, and out steps the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Tegan]], [[Adric]] and [[Nyssa]]. The Doctor is trying to replenish the TARDIS with [[Artron energy]] though they find themselves in the direct line of fire of a missile. They manage to run into a ditch where the [[Rutans]] are waiting. They take all three prisoner, and when Adric tries to fight back, a Rutan host tries to electrocute him, but is stopped by the Doctor.
 
The TARDIS has landed in the middle of a Rutan weapon test field, and the Rutans think that the TARDIS crew are [[Sontaran]] spies. The Doctor tries to explain but the Rutans believe that they are telling lies, and plan to exterminate them.
 
Adric tells them to 'get ready' and shoves the Rutans into one another, knocking them over. The crew uses this chance to escape, and race for the TARDIS. They're almost there when they are captured by a Sontaran scout fleet.
 
The Sontaran fleet brings the crew to their leader, Commander Strock. Who tells them that they have aggravated the Rutans. The Sontarans don't see the Doctor as a threat, especially since his 'soldiers' (AKA his companions) are nothing more than children.
 
The Sontarans get the Doctor to help them defeat the Rutan Hosts on what the commander has described as a 'worthless rock'; The Doctor spots a massive flaw in the Sontarans strategy and pleads that there must be an alternative to this worthless assault, but the Sontarans want to die as Sontarans; in the midst of battle in a full frontal assault.
 
The Commander sets out a squad to help the Doctor, Tegan, Nyssa and Adric back to the TARDIS as Strock and the other Sontarans lead into battle. All three make it to the TARDIS safely and the squad leaves to join the battle, screaming 'Sontar-Ha!'.
 
The Doctor tries to tell Adric about the 'Frog and Scorpion', and turns around to find Adric, Tegan and Nyssa unconscious and the Hooded Figure standing over them. The figure brags saying that he "let his friends down", and "put all three of them into harms way".
 
He then disappears, taking Nyssa, Adric and Tegan with him, The Doctor realises that this has happened before...
=== Issue 6 ===
[[File:Ten_meets_Frobisher.jpg|thumb|The Tenth Doctor contacts Frobisher.]]The [[Sixth Doctor]], [[Frobisher]] and [[Peri]] are in the console room. When the Doctor and Peri leave the room, the [[Tenth Doctor]] appears to Frobisher through the [[TARDIS control console]] . The Doctor told him that he needed his help, and that he would also be helping himself and many other [[Companion|companions]]...
[[File:Autons_shoot_at_Peri_and_Frobisher.jpg|thumb|Peri and Frobisher are shot at by Autons]]
The Sixth Doctor landed in the year [[7214]], where a nature preserve was keeping the last [[Penguin]]s alive. The Doctor was captured by the local robotic officials, who believed him to be insane, and was locked in a mental institution. There he learned that the robots were under the control of [[the Master]], and that all of the staff in the prison were his [[Auton]] slaves. Frobisher and Peri broke into the prison, Frobisher shape shifting into a hospital staff member pretending to be escorting Peri. When they were discovered, the Auton staff attacked, Frobisher and Peri running away through the building.
[[File:Master_and_Six_Prisoners_of_Time.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor and the Master. ]]
The Doctor broke out of his cell, and ran into Peri They were chased into a room by the Autons, but the Doctor was able to stop them by melting the plastic inside them, but the Master escaped again. When he turned around, though, he saw Peri, captured by the [[Adam Mitchell|cloaked figure]].
 
However "Peri" was actually Frobisher in disguise, as per the Tenth Doctor's instructions. Now in the same cell system that the cloaked figure had used to capture the Doctor's other companions, Frobisher escaped his cell and began exploring.
 
=== Issue 7 ===
 
Scotland, 1830. Maid Mackenzie serves two elderly patients in bed, and is hoping the two patrons will get better. She has just sent for the doctor to figure out why they are both so sick. She looks up and spots that the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] (Ace is wearing 18th century attire, with her jacket) have entered the room.
 
The Doctor comments that Ace gets the chills quite easily and that she loves her jacket, and won't leave it behind. The Doctor examines the patients (including listening to their feet and smelling their arm-pits) trying to find out what is wrong with them.
 
The master of the house, Alan Campbell, arrives, and states that the Doctor is not the doctor he sent for. This raises Mackenzie's awareness, saying that she thought that the Doctor was their family physician, which the Doctor states that he never said he was.
 
Campbell states that it doesn't bother him, and that the Doctor was recommended by their own physician, Dr. Lewis.
 
The Doctor then asks Campbell to fill him in on the patients background. Campbell said they're his Great Aunt and Uncle, Ruth and Gibson Campbell, and that they fell ill about 3 months before the Doctor's arrival.
 
The Doctor also enquires that the grounds and estate belongs to them. Campbell states that the grounds are part of the Campbell ancestry, the Doctor also enquires if it belongs to either himself of the two patients in bed.
 
Campbell starts to get annoyed, saying that the estate is theirs, and if anything should happen to them, he'd get their estate. The Doctor doesn't cause to defend, saying that he is 'The Master of the house', which Campbell agrees with a smile.
 
The Doctor and Ace leave, apparently to read a few texts he brought with him in his carriage, and with Campbell's permission, heads off. Ace starts to enquire as to why the Doctor was asking so many questions. The Doctor states, that he needed to ''cut straight to the bone'', and shed some light on the situation. He also learned the fact that Campbell isn't the person he says he is. He also states that the 'aunt' and 'uncle' are not human. They head to the TARDIS to examine a spoon that the Doctor has stolen from the bedroom to find out exactly who they are.
 
The Doctor sends Ace for a walk around the castle with a device that picks up on the same energy that dragged the TARDIS off course.
 
Ace walks into the kitchen, and the detector goes off. Pointing at a small door at the back of the room, Ace decides to investigate, despite the Doctor saying not to take any risks. What she finds leaves her flabberghasted.
 
Meanwhile, the Doctor is confronted by Miss Mackenzie, who states that the Doctor had no right to talk to Campbell the way he did. The Doctor reminds her that something is not right, and then enquires as to how long she's been working there. She says two months, and that nothing has changed in their condition since she arrived. It's also the reason why she didn't question him when he arrived, all she wants to do is help. Mackenzie is suddenly overcome with fear, saying something is not right about Mr. Campbell.
 
Ace runs out of the house, saying she has found what the Doctor was looking for. He then asks Ace to lead the way.
 
Ace and the Doctor walk down the back steps find a fully decked out computer room. They then figure out that the door was left unlocked, meaning that they were meant to find it, and could possibly be a trap. The Doctor then states that only [[The Master|the Master]] could come up with something like this.
 
They both investigate the equipment, only for a massive one-eyed creature with razor sharp teeth appear before them, but it's chained up. The chain snaps, and The Doctor orders Ace to run. They manage to beat the Beast up the stairs and lock the Doctor. But the creatures strength breaks the door with ease. Ace then throws a can of [[Nitro-9]] at the beast,and  it explodes, killing the creature. And the patients stir in front of Mackenzie.
 
The Doctor examines the body of the creature, determining that it's a [[Gulwort]], stating that its a creature that drain the life force of its victims, and would have certainly have killed both The Doctor and Ace easily.  


Mackenzie runs down to the Doctor to tell him that the Campbell patients have stirred, but haven't awoken.

After explaining how [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] translates alien language, the Doctor tells him they've just dropped by to enjoy the scenery. Oren asks the pair if they're from the city.
