'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was a comic story published in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' in [[2018 (releases)|2018]]. It was the final Doctor Who Magazine comic story to star the [[Twelfth Doctor]].


A younger version of the [[War Doctor]] appears on the final page of part three and throughout part four of the story. However, unlike in [[Multi-Doctor story|multi-Doctor stories]] such as ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', he is shown entirely in flashback through narration by the then-incumbent [[Twelfth Doctor]], and is never met by the Twelfth Doctor.

=== Part four ===
The Twelfth Doctor narrates his experiences of the Time War, with the action moving in flashback to the [[Dorian Nexus]]. As explosions rained down, [[Ohila]] and [[Sisterhood of Karn|the Sisterhood of Karn]] recited an incantation, and two people rushed around a large weapon - Fey and a much younger [[War Doctor]]. The Doctor had recruited Fey from her own war, where she eventually became renowned for her efforts, gaining a large variety of names. However, just as the Doctor had allies in the Sisterhood, so did the [[Dalek|Daleks]], in the form of the [[Morlontoa]] of the [[Seventh Sky]], a multidimensional unreality form that could turn objects and living things into their opposites, as well as wipe out whole planets. The War Doctor explained how he was creating a Quantum-Intrinsic Field Projector, used to bounce the Morlontoa's unreality wave back at it. The Sisterhood eventually finished chanting the Hythala Invocation, firing "living symbols of strength and hope", assisting the Doctor at great mental strain to themselves.

However, the group also had the planet's inhabitants to save - the childlike [[Loshann]], and as Fey commanded a Gallifreyan soldier to get them to a TARDIS, the Doctor's Projector hit the Morlontoa, and he rejoiced... but not for long. The Morlontoa's attacks were still able to get through, distorting and killing most of the Sisterhood and the [[Ninth Prydonian Guard]], in a very similar way to how Bellator died. The worst attack of all, however, came to the children. Turning into hideous monsters, they attacked the Doctor and Fey, forcing Fey, against her wishes, to kill them off one by one to protect the Doctor's machine. Immediately after doing so, the Projector failed anyway, leaving both the Doctor and Fey distraught and the planet essentially doomed. As the Doctor led the group back to his TARDIS, Fey heard the cries of one child who was unaffected, and diverted to rescue them. However, the final seconds she spent doing so were seconds she did not have, leaving her, the child, and the rest of the planet struck by the Morlontoa's unreality wave. Although the Doctor was mortified and wanted to save her, Ohila held him back, as nobody could survive in the unreality wave. With the TARDIS unable to move during the attack, the Doctor had no choice but to watch as Fey died and disintegrated before him. As the TARDIS set off once more, the Doctor refused to be called by that title ever again.
