Doctor Who:
The King’s Demons
By Terrance Dudley
“You're mistaken. With
Kamelion's unique ability at my command, it's only a matter of time before I
undermine the key civilizations of the universe. Chaos will reign, and I shall
be its emperor.”
The TARDIS materializes in
the middle of a joust and is welcomed as demons by King John. The year is 1215 and it is March and The
Doctor is wondering why King John is at the castle of Sir Ranulf Fitzwilliam
and not in London preparing to sign the Magna Carta. The
three travelers are made welcome and invited to dine with the king later
on.
Things get weirder when
Sir Geofffrey arrives from London after just taking the crusaders oath with
King John. Sir Gilles insists that is
not true as the King has been here all along.
The Doctor has had enough of the accusations that Sir Gilles has been
slinging and ends up accepting Sir Gilles challenge to a duel. The two men pick swords and prepare to have
it out in an old fashion sword fight.
The Doctor appears to have won the sword fight when his opponent sheds his
disguise and aims his tissue compression eliminator at The Doctor which is the
calling card of his nemesis The Master. With The Master there it all makes
sense what is going on and it’s up to The Doctor to stop him from changing
history.
