## Story

The Doctor takes Samantha on her first trip in the TARDIS, following on from Samantha Osiris. They accidentally land on Skaro and lead a group of Daleks back to Earth. During the ensuing fight, the Tenth Doctor and Aphrodite arrive, as well as the Eleventh Doctor, and the group manages to send the Daleks back to Skaro. During the clean-up, the Doctors praise Aphrodite and Sam for their work, while Aphrodite’s sister Victoria stands on the sidelines, overlooked.

Overwhelmed with jealousy and hatred for her sister, Victoria walks into the TARDIS and contacts The Master. The Master recognizes the name Voughstrike from his previous encounter with Aphrodite in an unseen adventure, and picks up Victoria, promising that they will kill her sister.

When Vannessa realizes Victoria is gone, the Doctors attempt to deduce where the Master would’ve taken her. Eventually, they realize that he would take her to the Fall of Arcadia in the Last Great Time War in an attempt to turn her against the Doctor forever. The Tenth Doctor is skeptical, as the Time War is time-locked, but the Fifteenth Doctor remembers that the Master used a device to draw the TARDIS into a pocket dimension in Blood Moon Pass, and notes that if they managed to find this device they could enter the Time War and get to it before the Master.

The group sets off to Blood Moon Pass, the night before that limited series began, and root around in the courtyard under Vannessa’s tower to find the device. The Master from the past arrives and plants it, but they discover that it is a bomb, a fake. The Fifteenth Doctor deduces that Blood Moon Pass is in the Master’s personal future, and thus he saw them coming. When they find the correct device, The Master and Victoria arrive. Taunting the Doctor, the Master attempts to awaken Vannessa in the past, fracturing the Doctor’s past and the Master’s future, but the Doctor stops him by throwing him off the tower into his concealed TARDIS.

Both parties arrive in Arcadia at the end of the Last Great Time War. The Earth people are astonished by the warfare playing out in front of them, but the Master takes Victoria away, to the “main event”. The Doctors and their companions follow the Master and Victoria to the shack in the middle of the desert, where they discover the events of Day of the Doctor playing out. The Tenth and Eleventh Doctors are surprised and horrified by this, but the Fifteenth remembers it well, having restored all memories of this event during his time working for the Shadow Proclamation. The Master is also surprised, and attempts to interfere and set off the Moment himself, but the assembled six Doctors stop him. He escapes, along with Victoria.

When the past Doctors’ memories have been suitably wiped, the group heads back to Earth in the 21st century, at the Osiris estate. Realizing that the Master and Victoria will be back for revenge, the Doctors decide to park their TARDISes in the Osirises’ garden and help defend them when the time comes.
