I would be remiss in not mentioning ''The Time Thief'' from the 1974 Doctor Who Annual. Generally the Annuals were treated as lesser, but this wiki regards all narrative sources as valid. A brief recap...military forces from various periods in Earth's history are attacking UN cargoes. Actually not ALL eras, only up until the First World War. The Doctor and Jo investigate, and are transported to another planet. The Doctor knows who's behind it "Take me to the Master" he says to the soldiers. Arriving at a psychedelic-looking base, the doctor discovers that the Master is working with a group of aliens. Using hypnotism, and the ability to take humans from any period in Earth's history, he plans to create a superarmy. "Up to your old tricks again", says The Doctor. However, the Doctor is able to reprocess the hypnotised soldiers, and use a control panel which appears to be controlled by moving around geometric shapes to return the Earth military to their proper periods. The Doctor and Jo escape back to earth, the aliens turn on the Master. It appears that it's the end of The Master(and Jo even believes as much). But The Doctor has seen him escape from a situation like this before.

:Nice. There's also these quotes from transcripts of the episodes: | |||
''The War Games'': | |||
DOCTOR: But to help people like that to conquer the galaxy? | |||
WAR CHIEF: Not people like that, people like us. I intend to take over as Supreme Galactic Ruler. You can help me to rule, if you will cooperate | |||
... | |||
WAR CHIEF: We were both Time Lords and we both decided to leave our race. | |||
DOCTOR: I had reasons of my own. | |||
WAR CHIEF: Just as I had. | |||
DOCTOR: Your reasons are only too obvious. Power! | |||
WAR CHIEF: How much have you learnt of our plans? | |||
DOCTOR: I know that you've been kidnapping soldiers from the Earth from various times in it's history and bringing them here to kill one another. | |||
WAR CHIEF: But do you realise our ultimate objectives? | |||
DOCTOR: No objective can justify such slaughter. | |||
WAR CHIEF: The war games on this planet are simply the means to an end. The aliens intend to conquer the entire galaxy. A thousand inhabited worlds. | |||
DOCTOR: Yes, but why choose the people of the Earth? | |||
WAR CHIEF: They are the most suitable recruits for our armies. Man is the most vicious species of all. | |||
DOCTOR: Well, that simply isn't true. | |||
WAR CHIEF: Consider their history. For a half a million years they have been systematically killing each other. Now we can turn this savagery to some purpose. We can bring peace to the galaxy, and you can help. You see, I'm not the cold-hearted villain you suppose me to be. My motives are purely peaceful. | |||
... | |||
WAR CHIEF: We are going to bring a new order to the galaxy, one United Galactic Empire. | |||
DOCTOR: An empire of slaves, with you as one of it's rulers. | |||
''Colony In Space'': | |||
MASTER: Doctor, why don't you come in with me? We're both Time Lords, we're both renegades. We could be masters of the galaxy! Think of it, Doctor, absolute power! Power for good. Why, you could reign benevolently, you could end wars, suffering, disease. We could save the universe. | |||
DOCTOR: No, absolute power is evil. | |||
MASTER: Consider carefully, Doctor. I'm offering you a half-share in the universe. | |||
... | |||
MASTER: You must see reason, Doctor. | |||
DOCTOR: No, I will not join you in your absurd dreams of a galactic conquest. | |||
MASTER: Why? Why? Look at this. Look at all those planetary systems, Doctor. We could rule them all! | |||
DOCTOR: What for? What is the point? | |||
MASTER: The point is that one must rule or serve. That's a basic law of life. Why do you hesitate, Doctor? Surely it's not loyalty to the Time Lords, who exiled you on one insignificant planet? | |||
DOCTOR: You'll never understand, will you? I want to see the universe, not rule it. | |||
MASTER: Then I'm very sorry, Doctor. | |||
(The Master aims his laser gun at the Doctor, and the Guardian's panel rises.) | |||
MASTER: What's happening? | |||
DOCTOR: Wait and see. | |||
(The Guardian's throne comes out of the wall.) | |||
MASTER: What is it? | |||
DOCTOR: The ultimate development of life on this planet. | |||
GUARDIAN: Why have you returned? What do you want here? | |||
MASTER: I want to restore this city and this planet to their former glory. | |||
DOCTOR: Don't listen to him, sir. | |||
MASTER: You have here a wonderful weapon. Why, with it you could bring good and peace to every world in the galaxy. | |||
DOCTOR: On the contrary. He'll bring only death and destruction. | |||
