The Stockbridge Child ( comic story ) The Stockbridge Child was a comic strip printed in " Doctor Who Magazine " . It chronicled the Tenth Doctor ' s visit to Stockbridge , a familiar " DWM " setting , but one that hadn ' t been seen in " DWM " since the final panels of the Eighth Doctor adventure , " Oblivion " . It kicked off 2009 ' s emphasis on Stockbridge in the DWU . Filling the first quarter of the year for readers with a new tale about the English village the magazine had invented , it — probably more by coincidence than design — reminded DWM readers about the existence of Stockbridge and Maxwell Edison . Therefore it almost certainly served as a marketing assist for the Big Finish series of Fifth Doctor Stockbridge audios later that year , which included Edison ' s debut in performed " Doctor Who " . Synposis . The Doctor returns to the village of Stockbridge , with new companion Majenta Pryce , and he is reunited with a face from the past .

He explains that Khrysalis was a company that had set up a building project , but that nothing had happened to it in over a year . Max had started a protest group called the Stockbridge Preservation Society to protest against the building , but over time its members had drifted away . Majenta tells Max that she and the Doctor can ' t get involved with the situation because she has employed him , but the Doctor ignores this and they drive towards the site . Majenta heads off to look around the offices , while Max and the Doctor enter the site . Inside , they realise that Khrysalis has been digging a large hole down , as the Doctor notices claw marks . Suddenly , a withered old man named Geoffrey Lynch and several construction workers appear , startling Max . The Doctor shows him his psychic paper , but Lynch sees through it . The Doctor then puts the Gruvidian National Anthem on his psychic paper . This knocks out Lynch and his construction workers , as Max and the Doctor escape .

But just as she is trying to escape , The Lokhus appears hovering in the air . She and He talk to him , and it is revealed that they are Lokhus ' parents . The Lokhus then kills his parents , before asking Lynch who Majenta is . Majenta greets him enthusiastically , and tells him she proposes a partnership with him , and she will get him off this planet . The Doctor has been tied to a pole , and the Wyrrmen are taking him through the cave system . Suddenly , they stop , and they ask him if he wants to become a part of The Lokhus , pointing at a large chrysalis .

Wilkes are getting excited , because Mr . Lokhus is coming . They begin fighting over who will give him their food . Suddenly , the Lokhus is there , and the villagers begin admiring him .

Majenta wonders if he ' s just gonna sit there eating , but Lynch tells her that The Lokhus has got big plans for Earth . . . Max tells the Doctor that the Lokhus is from the after - universe , and is a member of the race known as the Zytrgupten . Lokhus was born crippled , and was thrown into the infernal abyss . But something went wrong , and he was drawn into our universe . He fell on Stockbridge , and built himself a chrysalis to keep himself protected . But his parents followed him , and they ' ve found him . Max then tells him that they have to stop Lokhus from getting out of the chrysalis , otherwise he ' ll destroy the world . Then , the Lokhus reveals his presence . Majenta brings Lokhus to the TARDIS , but tells him that only the pilot can get through the doors , as a safety precaution . Lokhus tortures her , but suddenly , he finds that Max is psychically blocking him from killing Majenta . Inside the chrysalis , the Doctor is making fun of the Lokhus , but the massive creature shuts him up , and begins talking to Max . He explains that Max is holding him back , and as a 3 - dimensional mind , shouldn ' t be able to do that . Lokhus scans Max ' s mind , and looks through his past , seeing that Max occasionally gets glimpses of the future , and the butcher bullied him when he told him what he knew . Lokhus , in Max ' s body , picks up the butcher , and asks Max if he wants him to kill the butcher . The Doctor tells him that Lokhus is twisted and bitter , but the creature slaps him away , and blocks him from the chrysalis . Max tells The Doctor to find his body , and stop the Lokhus . He holds off the Wyrrmen , and the Doctor takes his motorbike back to the town square , where Majenta has been tied to a pole . The villagers threaten him , and Lokhus tells them to kill him . . .
