The Doctor finds another renegade Time Lord, Drax, in the corridors of the third planet. Drax was employed with threat of death, and he was forced to build Mentalis. The Doctor persuades Drax to assist him, and they remove the control device from K9. Drax repairs his dimensional circuit. | ||
They uncover the ultimate truth: a third party, known as [[the Shadow]], is manipulating the entire war from his enormous vessel midway between the two planets. An agent of the [[Black Guardian]], the Shadow has been watching the final segment of the Key (Princess Astra herself), setting the war in motion | They uncover the ultimate truth: a third party, known as [[the Shadow]], is manipulating the entire war from his enormous vessel midway between the two planets. An agent of the [[Black Guardian]], the Shadow has been watching the final segment of the Key (Princess Astra herself), setting the war in motion and simply waiting while the Doctor risked life and limb to find the first five segments. | ||
Drax enters with the dimensional circuit and shrinks the Doctor down. | |||
====EPISODEE SIX==== | |||
Drax also shrinks himself, and they decide to have one of them provide a distraction. Romana, meanwhile, releases that Princess Astra is the sixth segment to the Key to Time. Merak transports himself to the third planet. Drax and the Doctor return to normal size and take the Key to Time from the Shadow. Merak stays behind to look for Astra, who has turned to the sixth segment. | |||
When the artificial time loop expires, the Doctor and Drax disarm Mentalis. When the Marshal fire, the war rockets are deflected by a force field, destroying the Shadow and his ship instead. | |||
Astra converts herself into the final segment, completing the Key to Time and giving the Doctor, for the moment, absolute power over the entire Universe. The [[White Guardian]] appears on the TARDIS monitor. He demands that the Doctor hand the Key over to him. When he rather callously dismisses Astra's sacrifice, the Doctor realises this is actually the Black Guardian in disguise. The Doctor orders the Key segments to disperse across the Universe, which also allows Astra to reunite with Merak. The Black Guardian is furious and threatens to destroy the Doctor. However, the Doctor has installed a [[randomizer]] on the TARDIS console, ensuring that neither he nor the Black Guardian knows where he'll end up next. | Astra converts herself into the final segment, completing the Key to Time and giving the Doctor, for the moment, absolute power over the entire Universe.
