Crimes and Punishment (comic story)

Opening narration box
The Doctor has found the creature responsible for all the mayhem, but how will he escape?

Summary
Trapped in a chocolate Aztec pyramid by the green, eye-patched giant and armed with a only a toy Olympic torch souvenir and his sonic screwdriver, the Doctor uses the two together to melt a tunnel through the chocolate wall by magnifying the resonant frequency wavelength of the torch to generate heat. The Doctor and Martha’s escape route takes them to a full size replica Sphinx complete with rampaging mummies and cat-gods. On their way to shut down the central command computer the Doctor explains that the green giant is a Chiffala. The Chiffala are a small race of mercenaries that thrive on conflict and travel the galaxy joining in with with any skirmish they find. Crash landing near the theme park the Chiffala decided to make his own conflict re-enacting the most horrific parts of human history with the theme parks visitors. The Chiffala traps the Doctor and Martha in a chamber by using two mummies but fails to notice that costumes are swopped when the Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to disable the robot mummies. Disguised as mummies, the Doctor and Martha make their escape through another hidden chamber and quite literally crash into the Chiffala. Breaking through a door, it falls on top of the Chiffala and knocks him to the floor. The Chiffala is rendered unconscious (due to their thin skull, usually protected by full armour). Whilst unconscious the Doctor and Martha take the Chiffala on a trip in the TARDIS, leaving the Chiffala in a Dark Ages torture chamber strapped to a table..promising to return for him in three to six months time!
