Lair of the Zenith (comic story)

Opening narration box
The Doctor has been captured by the Zenith ...

Summary
Having been able to reverse the Zenith's mental signal the Doctor has returned to being himself and finds himself in the lair of the Zenith. Despite the Doctor's warning the Zenith are determined to conquer the Earth, but the Doctor reversed the signal again to take him back to where he left Donna. Removing the patch from Donna's hand they head off to the 189 metre tall Telecom Tower (formerly known as Post Office Tower) by space-car. Inside the Tower, while the Doctor sets up a firewall against the Zenith's signal, Donna is once again given a patch by a hiding Zenith, and is transformed. The Zenith commands the Doctor to stop his interference or Donna will be killed. The Doctor knows that Donna would make the sacrifice and activates the firewall. The Zenith signal is cut off and Donna is returned to her human form, alive, the Zenith gone. Donna is unlikely to let the Doctor forget he was prepared to sacrifice her and he doesn't think it likely they'll land somewhere quieter next time!
