Lunar Lagoon (comic story)

Summary
As the Doctor sits fishing off of a beach of an island in Pacific Ocean, he suddenly come under gunfire. Waving a white flag, the Doctor is taken prisoner by a lone Japanese soldier by the name of Fuji. Although the Doctor initially thinks that World War II has ended, he soon learns that this is not the case as the next morning he witnesses a Japanese airplane shooting an American plane that goes down over the island.

Fuji is caught in the blast of one of the airplane's bombs and is injured. That night, the Doctor attempts to help him but after the Doctor implies that the reason why Fuji is alone on this island is that he is a deserter, Fuji wanders off into the moonlit jungle. In his wanderings he finds the parachute of the downed American pilot. Although he is barely able to stand due to his injuries Fuji is determined to prove his honor by killing the American. Fuji finds the pilot and attempts to shoot him only to discover that his gun is unloaded. The American pilot then kills Fuji.

The Doctor then walks back to the TARDIS thinking to himself that he was right to remove the bullets from Fuji's gun because if he had not Fuji would have killed him. The Doctor concludes that if he tells himself that often enough he might believe it one day.
