To Clara's horror, both the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors come storming in, proclaiming that what Clara has told them is impossible. The Eleventh Doctor notices his former self, and as he doesn't remember this meeting, realises that this is bad for the universe. The Tenth Doctor is sceptical of the Eleventh Doctor's identity, [[The Next Doctor (TV story)|having recently met an]] [[Jackson Lake|imposter]]. Using his sonic screwdriver, he confirms that the Eleventh Doctor is his next incarnation. Both then remark that the person they met outside is another story.

Using his sonic screwdriver, he confirms that the Eleventh Doctor is his next incarnation. Both then remark that the person they met outside is another story.


That person walks in, revealing himself to be the Twelfth Doctor. He tells his former selves to shut up and then turns his attention to Clara, revealing to her that he figured out what she was up to. He tried to talk sense into the other two Doctors, but they wouldn't listen. So, they're going to have a Multi-Doctor Event, whether they like it or not.

The Tenth Doctor has accepted that the Eleventh Doctor is his next and final incarnation, but doesn't accept that the Twelfth Doctor is a future incarnation, as it's not possible for him to exist. The Eleventh Doctor points out that they don't know what's going on here. Clara intervenes, telling the three Doctors to stop this and walk away. She knows this meeting didn't happen. Even though time can be rewritten, this moment is a fixed point in time. The Tenth and Twelfth Doctors keep arguing, with Gabby trying to convince the Tenth Doctor to leave, as she believes Clara is telling the truth. The Tenth Doctor refuses, proclaiming the Twelfth Doctor to be an abomination, a word the Daleks tend to use, as the Twelfth Doctor points out.

In the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS, Gabby asks the Tenth Doctor why he is going to Marinus. The Tenth Doctor explains that they could go to the museum Clara found, but he doubts they'll learn anything new. So, that leaves him with two options. He can either spring the trap or live in fear. He doesn't like living in fear.

The three TARDISes materialise on Marinus and the the three duos leave their respective TARDIS. The Tenth Doctor notices that there are no signs of life. He also notices that the planet seems familiar to him, an observation shared by the other Doctors. Clara asks the Tenth Doctor why he would risk the end of the universe by coming here. The Tenth Doctor says he is not. He points out the poses of himself and his other two selves in the picture. So long as they don't assume those poses, they are in no danger of causing the end, and can freely look around.

Unknown to the group, someone else is watching them. The unknown enemy decides to interfere, to force the Doctors to take the poses in the image. The group is struck by a beam, one which the Doctors note came from outside of spacetime. The three Doctors quickly discuss plans on how to face this threat, accidentally taking the poses in the picture. The unknown enemy quickly takes the picture. The unknown enemy reveals himself to be a Voord leader and proclaims that now the Doctors are locked onto their destiny. Every step they take will lead now to the ultimate conquest of the Voord.

The Tenth Doctor is horrified at seeing this, as he would never place his life over Wilfred's. The Twelfth Doctor points out that, as they can see, the bomb has found at least one alternate timeline in which he did. The Tenth Doctor watches the scene continue to play out, musing on seeing what he is capable of.

The group is engulfed by a flash of light, and find themselves in the future of this alternate timeline. In it, the alternate Tenth Doctor has now fully succumbed to his darker impulses and has become the [[Time Lord Victorious]], a tyrant who rules over the universe. The Eleventh Doctor tries to reassure his former self that there are only very few timelines in which he could turn out like this, but it has no effect, as the Tenth Doctor states that very few is too many. They watch as a [[Raxacoricofallapatorian]] pulls out a gun and shoots the Time Lord Victorious, stating that the gun prevents [[regeneration]], meaning he is now dead.

The Twelfth Doctor asks what is happening as he and the Eleventh Doctor should now be dead, having died as the Tenth Doctor. The three Doctors realise that the bomb was only meant to work on one Gallifreyan, but it went off in the presence of three Doctors, meaning it's going to show alternate futures for each Doctor.

Line 121: Line 114:
The Twelfth Doctor notes that if they get trapped in this timeline, then Clara's prophecy will come true. Alice asks why they're even seeing this timeline, if it contradicts the previous one they saw. The Twelfth Doctor explains that the bomb is shifting them between possible futures, which means they will shift into another one soon, which they do.

The group find themselves in the Twelfth Doctor's timeline. They are in the TARDIS and see the [[Twelfth Doctor#Multi-Doctor event|alternate Twelfth Doctor]]. He's older, with his hair longer and having facial hair, and his clothes are all ragged. He's rambling to himself on how "she" betrayed him and how he told her to go to hell. Clara is worried that he's talking about her. They continue to watch the alternate Doctor ramble to himself on how he must never let anyone get close to him again. The Twelfth Doctor has had enough of this and thinks they should all leave this room until they cycle back to the Tenth Doctor's alternate timeline.

The Tenth Doctor states that they have found the way out. He explains that the Twelfth Doctor is right, and they will soon cycle back to his timeline. The group will be stuck glitching between the three alternate timelines forever. The Eleventh Doctor realises what his former self is getting at. A Continuity Bomb timeline is usually inescapable. But, they're seeing their alternate futures while remaining as Time Ghosts. This means the bomb has malfunctioned and has split its energy between the three Doctors. If they commit to one of the alternate timelines, they will fully materialise in that timeline, as it will become real. As the alternate timelines of the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors lead to death and destruction, their best bet is the Twelfth Doctor's alternate timeline. As he has a [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]], he can take them all home. The Twelfth Doctor touches the shoulder of his alternate future self, and the group fully shifts into his timeline.

The [[Twelfth Doctor]] is horrified at seeing what he will become. The [[Twelfth Doctor#Multi-Doctor event|alternate Twelfth Doctor]] explains that after [[Clara Oswald|Clara's]] betrayal, he wandered the universe alone for centuries, eventually finding his way to the [[Voord]] city, and finding companionship and healing by joining the Voord group mind. He demonstrates the effectiveness of being part of a group mind, by ordering some Voord in a small ship, to take the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] away, while he is still talking to the group.

However, the alternate Twelfth Doctor will plant mental commands into his former self's mind, making sure that he won't forgive Clara when she betrays him. He does apologise to his former self for all the suffering that he will go through. He tells them they will be taken to a device called The Conscience, where their memories will be altered. Clara tries apologising to the Twelfth Doctor, blaming herself for everything that's happened and going to happen. The Doctor rebukes this, telling her not to take the blame for something that is his own fault.

The Tenth Doctor points out that in order for the plan to succeed, he needs to stay alive. He jumps off the walkway, hurdling towards his death, to the horror of the alternate Doctor and [[Gabby Gonzalez|Gabby]]. The alternate Doctor orders one of the other Voord to save the Tenth Doctor, who wasn't really trying to kill himself, but was only acting as a distraction. While the Voord are distracted, the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors attack their guards. Their resistance is quickly cut short, as the Voord capture the two Doctors and Clara, causing the Eleventh Doctor to drop his [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]] and his comics. Gabby dives for the screwdriver but only manages to grab the comics, before escaping with [[Alice Obiefune|Alice]]. The two manage to hide from the Voord and decide to go locate the TARDIS, thinking they can use it to help them rescue the others.

Meanwhile, the three Doctors and Clara have been attached to the Conscience. The Twelfth Doctor asks why they aren't waiting until Gabby and Alice are recaptured. The alternate Doctor tells them that the two don't matter, because of the point in time that the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors will be returned to. The loss of Gabby and Alice won't change their timelines, and their memories of the two can be erased. As such, the two companions will be executed upon being captured. The alternate Doctor activates the device, altering the memories of the four. He gloats over his victory, but notes that the two remaining companions must be eliminated, so that any other possible outcomes die with them.

* The titular "fourth" Doctor is left somewhat ambiguous, and shifts throughout the story, as it primarily stars the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Doctors. One could surmise that the Alternate Twelfth Doctor is the fourth, because he is the primary antagonist and the only candidate that appears in multiple issues. The War Doctor, meanwhile, was implied through cover art to be the fourth, but only appears in a flashback in Issue 1, albeit in events that set the story in motion. Finally, in Issue 5, the Ninth Doctor makes a silent cameo, making him the fourth incarnation in that issue, but is only observed by his successors and does not interact with them.
