## Over the Top

### Director

Julie Edwards

Synopsis

France. 1917. In the mud-filled trenches of the Western Front, the Germans, the British, and the Americans face each other in a bitter stalemate. Thousands have died but, for three bloody years, not an inch of ground has been gained. When a trio of strangers emerges from No Man’s Land bearing secret battle plans for a major British tank offensive, Lieutenant Colonel George S. Patton knows that the course of the war is about to change. Emboldened by this knowledge and by the extraordinary skills possessed by these outlandish operatives, he charges them with a dangerous reconnaissance mission.

The Doctor, Riddell, and Flo must penetrate enemy lines. There, on a hidden airfield, they discover the source of the strange energies they’ve been tracking since the TARDIS first fell onto this bleak battleground. The Flying Circus of Manfred von Richthofen—the legendary Red Baron—is prepared for the coming offensive, and their Fokker triplanes are equipped with advanced arms representing the wrong World War! It becomes clear that a brilliant but sinister influence has bent Germany’s leaders to his dominating will. The Master is near death, incinerated by the time vortex, stripped of his robotic frame, but as desperate and determined to survive as he has ever been. Soon, he will take a new body, and in that rejuvenated form he will lead Germany to victory in the Battle of Cambrai, corrupting a crucial tipping point in the history of the Great War. The Doctor and his companions will have to take to the skies to correct the course of history—and face the dreaded Red Baron, ace of aces, on the field of combat that he has mastered!

The Ninth Circle was the fourth story Season 39 of Doctor Who. It was written by Monte Cook, directed by David Tucker and featured Jim Broadbent as the Doctor, Alan Dale as Riddell and Robert Bathurst as Flo.

## The Ninth Circle

### Director

David Tucker

Synopsis

“The legends of Gallifrey speak of a world where everything is horror—horror and pain—a world from which there is no escape, and the creatures crawl on the crust of the land of the lost and the hopeless and the broken and the doomed. The legends of Gallifrey speak of a world, and the name of the world they speak of… is Hell.”

It is said that in the Dark Times of the Fledging Empires, the Time Lords of Gallifrey were pitiless in imposing order on the universe and in their misguided attempts to create other, less sensible realities. Whispered legends tell of the most appalling of their cosmic constructs, the nightmare dimension known only as Hell, an accursed wasteland to which the savage insect races of the universe were banished. Now, in an abduction that defies explanation, the Shining World of the Seven Systems has lost one of its great landmarks to this wicked realm, leaving some of its greatest visionaries at the mercy of the monsters it once condemned to eternal damnation.

Among the missing is the Lady Romana—High Councillor, Custodian of the House of Everston, and, more secretly, a guiding force behind an increasingly organized underground sect devoted to the notorious renegade she once accompanied on his fabled journey through time and space. The loss is potentially devastating and the situation is grim, but the Council on Chaos recognizes an opportunity when it sees one. With the Doctor, his human companion, and their rickety Type 40 time travel capsule captured and in state custody, the Time Lords have regained control over an erratic but resourceful agent who has repeatedly demonstrated his willingness to venture where others fear to tread. To earn their freedom, to rescue Romana and all that Gallifrey has lost, the Doctor and John Riddell must face a gauntlet of unimaginable horrors and brave the infernal depths of Hell itself!

Their greed for gold has been swapped for a thirst brought on by a snake oil salesman’s promises of health and vitality. And though the Comanches warn of a beast that stalks the nearby hills, the end of gold mining has not brought an end to visits to the mines. Determined to uncover the truth, the Doctor and his companion engage in some prospecting of their own.

Continuity

The Second Doctor visited another realm populated by fictional characters, namely the Land of Fiction. (DW: The Mind Robber)
Slash

Slash is the main character of the Disembarked series. He is the chosen of the wind god Fujin. Before the series he worked as part of the Embarkers with Avon and Kagyo. He would later go on the form the Disembarkers with DJ.

## Appearance

Slash usually wears a set of mostly grey torso armour with blue and yellow armour on the limbs, including small fans on the backs of his legs. He wears a grey helmet with a green visor.

Slash's Oni form causes him to resemble Fujin more. He has a more monsterous face with a white and gold colorscheme

Beneath the Armor, most of Slash's appearance is currently unknown, but it has been stated by Embarker Slash that he canonically has fangs.

## Powers and Abilities

Slash possesses incredible prowess with swords, which are his main weapon of choice. He has skill with other weapons, but not nearly as much as his skill with the blade. Slash's sword skills are so powerful, they surpass Scissors, the presumed strongest sword technique. Slash also possesses a small knife that his also uses armor on his left arm.

Being a Demigod, Slash has inherited Aerokenisis from Fujin, the Wind God. This allows him to control and manipulate the wind, and to a minor extent lightning. He uses this to throw enemies, knock them off balance, bring them closer to him, disarm them and more.

Slash's fighting Style without his sword is a type of Military fighting style. Slash is also able to punch with his middle knuckle a little out to rip flesh with his fists.

## Personality

Slash is often a calm person most of the time. During the time he was an Embarker, he was an arrogant and bloodthirsty fighter who preferred killing his opponents rather than knocking them out because he knows the difference between a fight with rules vs a real fight. Slash also hates when people offer him a gun, because Slash knows that guns go against his style and are basically the "easy mode" of fighting, despite the fact that he finds it really easy to take down an opponent that uses a gun.

## Trivia

* Slash is technically a vampire because Vlad Dracula was a previous Demigod of Fujin, but due to people telling the tale incorrectly over history.

* Slash is the greatest sword fighter in the history of the world, he even surpassed the greatest Sword Technique of all, Artemis' Scissors
* Some of Slash's abilities are based on Jetstream Sam, Wamuu, Sikorsky, and Vergil

Emerging from the events of Destiny Of The Doctor, the Eleventh Doctor spent much of his life grieving over the immense suffering he had witnessed.

Emotionally haunted, he entered a darker period of his life spattered by resentment, where he tended to brood and act rudely to those who rubbed him the wrong way. Despite this, he remained jovial and friendly towards anyone he took a liking to, slowly reasserting himself as a person of good again.

Plagued by ominous portents, the Doctor and his companion Antimony must race across the Universe, taking in the Santine Republic, the Great Orion Nebula and the frozen heart of the Canisian Empire. Meanwhile, the mysterious Minister of Chance battles his own inner demons, and former TARDIS traveller Ace finds herself in training for a destiny she never dreamed possible.

Divine Comedy

Divine Comedy was the fifth story Season 39 of Doctor Who. It was written by Graham Duff, directed by Hettie MacDonald and featured Jim Broadbent as the Doctor, Alan Dale as Riddell and Robert Bathurst as Flo.

## Divine Comedy

### Director

Hettie MacDonald

Synopsis

On a faraway planet, the Doctor and Riddell find themselves cast as pilgrims in the strangest of holy lands. The thriving megalopolis known as the Multihaven is built of churches and cathedrals, monuments and monasteries, sanctuaries and shrines. In this city of spiritual tourism, diversity is celebrated and faith is all. Representatives from a chaotic assembly of religions—from the Shrine of Serendipity to the Microbaptists to the Church of the Divine Gas—open their arms and their houses of worship to the travellers. The Doctor is impressed that this community has seemingly achieved the impossible, finding peace and harmony in balancing religious debate with tolerance. That delicate balance is threatened, however, by the sudden, overwhelming popularity of the Cabinet of Lucidity.

Convert by convert, church by church, all faiths are falling to the zealots who worship the God of Dreams. To find this mysterious idol, the Doctor and Riddell must join the church’s disciples in sleep and surrender to their dreams. Deep in the surreal landscape of the unconscious, amid visions born of their greatest hopes and fears, they face the inescapable influence that has conquered the hearts and minds of the Multihaven. The Lucidians have embraced the truth of the universe, and they know there is but one true god: the Divinity. In a world ruled by piety and religious devotion, they may be unstoppable.

## Divine Retribution

### Director

Susan Belbin

Synopsis

The Divinity. Since the dawn of time, these ethereal heralds have spread evil and chaos across the stars with their promise of religious salvation. An attempt by the Doctor to erase their malign influence from history served only to bring about eternal vengeance. For his sins, there will be retribution.

On the planet Vortis, flowering jungles have become a battlefield for the warring alien armies of a bitter interplanetary conflict—the war between Rhumon Prime and New Rhumos. The fighting has led to the enslavement of the peaceful insectoid peoples of the planet, the Menoptera and the Zarbi. As Vortis is stripped of its remarkable resources and hope dwindles among its indigenous inhabitants, the Menoptera seek a prophet who fell from the stars to save their world during a time of peril long ago: the Doctor.

Fate has returned the TARDIS to Vortis, for the Doctor knows the origin of the religious zealotry and primal superstitions fuelling this war. The Divinity have taken this fertile world as their own and all are powerless to resist their influence. After facing them, even the Doctor’s closest allies find their faith put to the test. How much does Mohana really know about the shadowy figure known as the Doctor? How deep-seated is Selene’s misguided dedication to the Master? The fate of Vortis and the rebirth of the Divinity hinge upon the resolution of a power struggle that has long been brewing behind the battered blue doors of the TARDIS.
