Stopped at the department store's security gates, the Doctor and Boris were quickly identified as rejects and were chased by security. The Doctor began to lightly wake in the real world, surrounded by dead duplicates of his previous incarnations. Cindy soon arrived and helped him break free using the sonic screwdriver, and they were able to free the rest of the group. Escaping their trapped environment, the crew discovered that they were inside a massive organic red hull which had scanned and duplicated the TARDIS' police box form. The Seeker explained that outside the shuttle only moments had passed since they were attacked, and while the team began to try and decode the situation the Jade TARDIS grabbed Cindy with one of its tentacles and dematerialised.

In his TARDIS, the Tenth Doctor stares at a projection of the Third Doctor being attacked by the white energy, while Cindy is wondering just how old the Doctor really is. Suddenly, the TARDIS shakes. The Doctor checks the console and sees they've encountered a temporal funnel and extreme gravitational stresses that are pulling the TARDIS off course. | |||
The TARDIS ends up near a space station poised on the brink of the gravity well of a cluster of neutron stars. It's also linked to another region of space via a hyperspace corridor. The Doctor makes an emergency landing aboard the station, while wondering what kind of force could draw the TARDIS off course. | |||
The trio step outside, and the Doctor realises that the station is a power refining facility, mining energy from the neutron helix. An alarm tells them that the station, Poseidon, is on lockdown. At that moment, two officers, Co-ordinator Akiyama and Senior Hyperspace Tech Mouchgober enter the room. They call out to the Doctor, apparently recognising him. However, it turns out they are mistaking him for Doctor Bell, who is supposed to be visiting the station to conduct an inspection. The Doctor and Gabby quickly trick them into believing that Bell is detained and that the trio are a replacement team. | |||
The two officers bring the trio to Central Control, where Director Jessop is not happy to see them. The trio have come at a bad time, as the neutron helix, known as Hades' Helix, is flaring up. The helix is producing a large amount of electromagnetic radiation. The Doctor quickly moves over to a nearby console. With some adjustments, the Doctor not only fixes the shields, but improves them. With the immediate crisis resolved, Jessop asks Akiyama to take Cindy on an inspection tour, while he will show the Doctor and Gabby around Central Control. | |||
Jessop explains that the station is the core collection point for the energy mining. They use collection probes to mine the energy. The probes beam the energy to the station, which transmits the energy through the corridor to the power collection plant at Ultima Tarsus. The corridor also serves as the anchor for the station, protecting it from the helix's gravitational forces. | |||
Meanwhile, Akiyama and Cindy are down at the docking ports. Akiyama points out one of the collection probes, floating in space. She mentions that two probes when missing some time ago. Cindy notices that the probe is moving to dock with the station, something that the probes are not supposed to do. Cindy suggests it might be one of the missing probes. To Akiyama's shock, it is one of the lost probes. | |||
Back in Central Control, Jessop tells the Doctor about the missing probes. One of the officers calls the group over to his console. According to the readings, the helix is collapsing inward at an impossible rate, becoming a black hole. The Doctor states it's not impossible, but is widely accelerated, possibly artificially. At that moment, Gabby gets a text from Cindy, about the missing probes docking with the station. The Doctor patches Cindy into the comm unit and tells her to get away from the docking port. Whoever is inside the probe is not friendly. | |||
The station shakes as it's bombarded by time distortions. According to the Doctor, this is not a natural phenomenon, but one that's been engineered. Looking at a nearby screen, the Doctor and Gabby see the distortions are being caused by the white energy they saw attack the Third Doctor. The scanners then detect approaching ships, that turn out to be Cyberships. The Doctor yells at Cindy to run away from the docking port, as the station is being invaded by the Cybermen. At that moment, the docking hatch opens, and Cybermen start swarming into the station, attacking the security officers, while Akiyama and Cindy run. | |||
Back at Central Control, the Doctor watches the Cybermen infect the security officers, with what looks like some new Cyber-virus. Mouchgober reports that the second probe is docking, which means there will be more of them, but Jessop has changed the access cipher, which will slow them down. But, as the Doctor points out, not for long, for the Cyberships arrive, and Cybermen starting flying through space, towards the station. The Doctor tells Jessop that he needs to evacuate the station, as this could be the only chance to get everyone to safety, especially with the helix collapsing into a black hole. | |||
While Jessop gives the evacuation order, the Doctor talks to Gabby. The Cybermen were already here, planning the attack. But, the helix's sudden mutation means something else is going on here. Right now, they need to plot a safe route for Cindy and Akiyama to get back to Central Control. While Gabby does this, the Doctor overhears Jessop talking to another officer. The civilian personnel have been safely launched from the station and into the corridor. However, the Cybermen have trashed the lower docking ring. There are no escape ships left for the officers to use. | |||
The station shakes, as the Cyberships ram into it. This baffles the Doctor, as the Cybermen aren't acting logically. Then it hits him. There is no Cyber-virus. It's the white energy, which has infected the Cybermen. The Doctor does a deep scan of the collapsing helix, and finds that it's not becoming a black hole, but a white hole. Streams of time distortions are emanating from the hole, reaching out for the station, even accounting for the station's continual drift. There is an intelligence within the hole. | |||
The Doctor tells Jessop that he and his crew need to evacuate now. Since there are no escape ships, the crew will have to use the collection probes. The Doctor will use the station's power beam to push the probes through the corridor, allowing them to safely arrive at Ultima Tarsus. They should also destroy the station, so that the Cybermen can't use the corridor. The Cybermen were planning on taking over the station to use as a platform to stage an invasion of Ultima Tarsus. However, their plan was ruined by the white energy. Jessop and his crew need to make it back to Ultima Tarsus, to inform people about what happened here, so something like this can't happen again. Jessop agrees and begins working on the evacuation, and priming the station to self destruct. | |||
Gabby then reports a problem. The increasing number of Cybermen is limiting the options she can use to safely guide Cindy. The Doctor points out that they can go through the vacuum core. But, the core is where the energy beam is generated and there's no air in there. Cindy hears this and tells the Doctor that she hates him. The Doctor ignores this and tells Cindy to go through the core. | |||
Outside the core, Akiyama gives Cindy a cube, containing a self-enclosing E-Suit. All she has to do is tap the cube to her chest and the suit will form around her. As Akiyama begins explaining what will happen when they open the access hatch, Cindy puts on her suit. She then notices the Cybermen behind Akiyama and tries to warn her. But, it's too late, as a Cyberman grabs Akiyama, infecting her. Her suit cube files out of her hand and into Cindy's. The Doctor tells Cindy to not let the Cybermen touch her. She tosses the cube at the Cybermen, causing the lead one to stumble and slow down the others. However, the infected Akiyama grabs Cindy's ankle, just before Cindy opens the access hatch, and everyone is blown into the core. | |||
The Doctor orders Gabby to go get Cindy and to take her back to the TARDIS, without removing Cindy's suit. The Doctor heads over to Jessop and his crew, who have boarded a collection pod. Jessop thanks the Doctor for his help, before launching the pod. The Doctor then re-aligns the energy beam, pushing the pod safely through the corridor. The Doctor runs back to the TARDIS, noticing that the white hole has begun consuming the local space. At the TARDIS, he meets Gabby and Cindy. To his surprise, Cindy isn't infected. With no time to ponder on this, the trio quickly get inside the TARDIS and dematerialise, seconds before the station self destructs. The TARDIS is unable to get away, however, as one of the white hole's tendrils grabs onto the ship. As the Doctor ponders over everything, someone or something starts knocking on the door, which the Doctor proclaims to be impossible. | |||
It is revealed that the people knocking are in fact [[Twelfth Doctor|his twelfth incarnation]], [[Nardole]], [[Bill Potts]] and his daughter Jenny who had arrived by entering the Twelfth Doctor's TARDIS. The Doctor joyfully greets Jenny, before his daughter identifies his future incarnation. As Gabby and Cindy explain regeneration to Bill, the two Doctors deduce that the white energy infecting the world is the energy of anti-time, which was brought here by Jenny's [[bowship]]. Deciding to analyse the bowship directly, the Doctors and Jenny evacuate the TARDIS in an escape pod, but are confronted by a mass of possessed students before those students are knocked out by the Doctor's [[Ninth Doctor|immediate predecessor]]. The Ninth Doctor begins to explain that he was instructed to come here by their fourth incarnation, but his explanation is interrupted when the anti-time energy concentrates into a massive rift in the sky above the three Doctors. The Doctor's begin arguing over what to do, but when the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Josie Day]] arrive and explain how they escaped the Void with aid from the Doctor's other incarnations, the three Doctor's decided to use the boweship to fly into the Void. They encountered their [[Eleventh Doctor|eleventh incarnation]], who had attempted to reason with the [[Type 1]] TARDIS causing the Void to threaten the universe. Getting help form their other incarnations and TARDISes, they convinced the TARDIS to stop and free all the Doctors. The Tenth, Twelfth, Ninth and Eleventh Doctors happily reunited with their respective companions before departing, this incarnation and his predecessor agreeing to give Jenny a lift. Presumably the Tenth Doctor lost all memory of this adventure afterwards. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|''The Lost Dimension'']]) | |||

The Doctor considered it an honour and a privilege to work alongside his [[War Doctor|war]] and [[Eleventh Doctor|eleventh]] incarnations when attempting to save [[Gallifrey]]. He enjoyed some friendly banter with the latter, although did get somewhat irritated by his successor's childish side and was disgusted by his attitude towards those who had died in the Time War.

When it came to his future incarnations, the Tenth Doctor was often suspicious of them, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor]]'') in part because of his meeting with [[Jackson Lake]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'') He would often seek conformation of their identities by comparing [[sonic screwdriver]]s, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor]]'') or would scan them with the screwdriver himself. Because of this, he was very cold and argumentative with the [[Twelfth Doctor]], who he thought couldn't exist due to their limited number of regenerations left, and briefly accused him of being [[the Valeyard]]. Their arguing at one point summoned [[Reaper|Reapers]] when their fingers touched, though they were able to work together with their companions and [[Eleventh Doctor|eleventh incarnation]] acting as mediators.

[[Tim Latimer]] described the Tenth Doctor as "like fire and ice and rage, [that he was] like the night and the storm in the heart of the sun, [as well as being] ancient and forever, [burning] at the centre of time, and [could] see the turn of the universe."

([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') [[Clara Oswald]], when distinguishing him from his other incarnations, described the Tenth Doctor as "the hero."
