Ambush (comic story)

 was a comic story in Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe.

Summary
The War Doctor arrives with his TARDIS and Petrella on the site of a massive battle between Dalek flying saucers and Battle TARDISes, recognising that Voltrix has obviously already ordered an attack.

However, before he joins in the fighting, the Doctor realises that "something is wrong". Indeed, upon detecting that the timeship fo the "Predator" has arrived, the Dalek Supreme in charge of the fleet makes short work of the Battle TARDISes and directs all his Daleks' attention to the Doctor.

Realising the Daleks fed the Time Lords the intel about their location to lure the Doctor and attempt to destroy him, the Doctor instructs Petrella to set a course for Gallifrey. He explains that, having realised that his existence will still be the cause of countless death even if he runs, he must make a stand, and thus wants to parlay with Rassilon.
