Following a brief respite on [[Keska]], the Doctor found himself drawn more into Cardinal Ollistra's unscrupulous machinations, such as trying to weaponise the [[Neverwhen]], and then rescuing her from the [[Sontaran]]s while also fending off the masterplan of the [[Dalek Time Strategist (The Shadow Vortex)|Dalek Time Strategist]] to utilise [[the Enigma]] and remove the Time Lord from history with [[temporal dissolution]]. Even when reunited with [[Leela]], the Doctor became so disillusioned with the war that he concluded it could only end when both the Time Lords and the Daleks were destroyed. He was ultimately driven to end the war absolutely when a mission against the [[Eternity Circle]] in the [[Tantalus Eye]] resulted in the deaths of his companion, [[Cinder]], and his mentor, [[Borusa]], by the hands of the Time Lords. | Following a brief respite on [[Keska]], the Doctor found himself drawn more into Cardinal Ollistra's unscrupulous machinations, such as trying to weaponise the [[Neverwhen]], and then rescuing her from the [[Sontaran]]s while also fending off the masterplan of the [[Dalek Time Strategist (The Shadow Vortex)|Dalek Time Strategist]] to utilise [[the Enigma]] and remove the Time Lord from history with [[temporal dissolution]].

When faced with {{Dalton}}'s [[Ultimate Sanction]], the Doctor prepared to use [[the Moment]] to end the Time War by committing [[genocide]] against both the Daleks and the Time Lords. However, the Moment's sentient interface led him down a different path by letting him view his future first-hand. By teaming up with his future incarnations, the Doctor's mind was opened to a peaceful way to end the Time War in lieu of the deadly alternative he was going to enact. Teaming up with past and future incarnations, the War Doctor helped to save Gallifrey from the [[Dalek Fleet]] by placing it in [[Gallifrey's pocket universe|a pocket dimension]]. After departing from his future incarnations' company, and once again embracing the name of "the Doctor", the War Doctor regenerated into [[Ninth Doctor|a younger body]] due to his advanced age. Unfortunately, due to his timeline being taken out of sync by the presence of his future incarnations, the Doctor would not remember saving [[Gallifrey]], and his next incarnations were | When faced with {{Dalton}}'s [[Ultimate Sanction]], the Doctor prepared to use [[the Moment]] to end the Time War by committing [[genocide]] against both the Daleks and the Time Lords.

The Doctor discovered a Dalek plot on [[Amperica Nova]] to use nanobots in the entire adult population to make a mirror Gallifrey. He foiled them by using a virus to wipe out the adults, orphaning an entire population.

Working together they followed the signal to the [[Gates of Elysium]] where [[Davros' command ship|a Dalek saucer]] commanded by Davros, was under attack. When a huge swarm of particles indiscriminately destroyed Daleks and Time Lords alike, Davros revealed that he had created a [[Nightmare Child]] inspired by the Doctor, and had lured in the Doctor to watch him sacrifice himself to kill it. Branding Davros an idiot, the Doctor attempted to fly his TARDIS towards the destruction to save him however the Time Lord Commander helds his ship back as the gates closed around Davros' ship and the Nightmare Child. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Third Wise Man (short story)|The Third Wise Man]]'') The Nightmare Child would be present much later in the Time War, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of Time (TV story)}}) so the Doctor made arrangements for it "to never arise and [to] forever be aware of its non-existence".
