The Doctor and his companions received a warning from the White Guardian about the Black Guardian. They then found themselves in the midst of a contest for [[Enlightenment]], symbolised by a crystal of unknown powers and great value. It was much sought after by the amoral [[Eternal]]s, who vied for it by racing sailing ships across the [[Solar System]]. The Black Guardian hoped that, with such a prize, the Eternals might wreak havoc throughout the universe. Instead, the Doctor and Turlough won the race. The Doctor refused Enlightenment, offering it instead to Turlough. The Black Guardian told Turlough that, to get the crystal, he must kill the Doctor. Turlough refused and threw the crystal at the Black Guardian, who vanished in a burst of flames.

After that encounter, the Guardian took them to many places but they could not find the fifth segment. The Doctor realised the Guardian was being methodical in his search; they could find the fifth segment by being heedless of order, their destination controlled by chaos. The Guardian sent the Doctor and Amy on their way and followed them. In [[9th century]] [[Sudan]], he inserted himself into the time stream and became part of the events. As Lord Cassim Alibaba, he evaded taxes to fix the [[Djinni]]'s [[warp manifold]], which needed gold, (although platinum or plutonium would have been quicker) to create the [[orium]] needed. This was the fifth segment of the Key to Time. This evasion brought the [[Legate of the Caliph]], [[White Guardian|the embodiment of law]] in the region, to collect the tax. In the confusing welter of events, the Doctor and Amy were able to escape with the Key.

Stranded in 9th century Sudan, | Stranded in 9th century Sudan, the Black Guardian was a shadow of his former self, unable to become what he once was. When the Doctor became trapped on the [[Teuthoidian]] ship, he sent a telepathic communication to Romana and she used [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the Doctor's TARDIS]] to visit some of its recent destinations in order to find him. While visiting Sudan, she encountered the Black Guardian, who led her to believe that he knew where the Doctor was. By the time she realised this wasn't true it was too late. He had rejuvenated with the power of the sixth segment: Romana herself. Trying to achieve his final goal, the Black Guardian used the gathered freedom fighters to stop the White Guardian's Teuthoidian horde from getting the Key, locking the two Guardians in opposing balance once again. At that moment the Grace reappeared and sent the two of them back to howling void, to continue their eternal struggle. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Chaos Pool (audio story)|The Chaos Pool]]'') | ||
