Still heavily damaged and malfunctioning, the TARDIS found its way to Earth, but did not make it to Ian and Barbara's time, instead landing in the [[Plain of Pamir]] in [[1289]]. There, Barbara met [[Marco Polo]], who took the TARDIS along with its [[TARDIS key|keys]] on his caravan across [[China|Cathay]], to hand it to [[Kublai|Kublai Khan]] as part of a bargain for his return to [[Venice]]. Along the way, the [[Mongol]] warlord [[Tegana]], also part of Polo's caravan, tried to take the TARDIS for [[Nogai]] as part of his plan to [[assassination|assassinate]] Kublai. In the chaos of Tegana and Polo's duel in [[Peking]], the Doctor and his companions escaped in his repaired TARDIS.

The Doctor landed on an island on [[Marinus]]. [[Arbitan]] asked them to search for the keys to the reprogrammed [[Conscience of Marinus]] to regain control over the [[Voord]], as all of his other followers and family members failed to retrieve them. Arbitan trapped the TARDIS in a forcefield, preventing the Doctor and his companions' escape. | |||
They used Arbitan's [[travel dial]]s to reach [[Morphoton]]. Barbara released Arbitan's daughter, [[Sabetha]] and the rest of the city from the [[Morpho]]'s mind control, and retrieved the first key. | |||
Ian and Barbara found a fake key in the [[Screaming Jungle]], and after enduring several traps were told the proper location of the second key by [[Darrius]]. The third key was found in a mountain cave and was guarded by [[Ice Guardian]]s. | |||
Escaping the guardians, Ian reached [[Millennius]], where he was knocked out and framed for the [[murder]] of [[Eprin]]. The Doctor helped discover the true culprit, and Ian was spared execution. The fourth key was found inside the mace that killed Eprin when the man sent to fetch the key was captured. | |||
The Doctor and his companions returned to Arbitan's island, where Arbitan had been murdered. Ian handed the Voord the fake key, which destroyed the Consciousness, along with the Voord. They were able to leave in the TARDIS once more. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Keys of Marinus (TV story)|The Keys of Marinus]]'') | |||
Barbara's strong beliefs and acceptance of truth made her a formidable character. If she believed in something, she stood up for it. When the travellers arrived in [[Mexico]] during the time of [[Aztec]]s, her interest in history allowed her to see the good and the evil in the Aztec society and her belief they could be a truly good people made her determined to change the course of history when the [[Conquistador]]s arrived. She wished to preserve all that was good and honourable from their society, whilst driving out the horrors and ignorance of human sacrifice. Even though the Doctor stated this as an impossibility, she still endeavoured to try, angering the Doctor. Barbara was disappointed to learn that history could not be changed, but she had the strength of character to live with this.
