Chasing Rainbows (comic story)

 was a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2011.

Summary
Having already split up, the Doctor and Amy Pond are chasing a Heyvaaley through the streets of San Francisco in 1985 towards Rory Williams. The Heyvaalay is an intelligent life form that, appearing as a rainbow, bounces down the street making a trail of holes in the road before disappearing into an arcade. Rory follows, armed with a solar panel, with the intention of catching it in the battery but the Heyvaaley is intelligent and, splitting off into two separate arcade machines emerges from the machines like a character from an old gaming console of giant size with the arcade machines acting like feet to burst out of the arcade and down the street. Rory is an experienced games player having played the older games on his phone and identifies that the creature is following the same pattern of repeated behaviour a s the old games. Anticipating the creatures moves Rory strikes the creature centre on with a metal pole allowing the Doctor to collect up the pieces and trap them in the solar panels so that the Heyvaaley can be taken back to its own dimension.
