Cell Shock (comic story)

Summary
The TARDIS arrives on a planet where an artificial mountain range has been made but while they are heading back to the TARDIS the ground gives way and the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond fall down a slope landing in some sort of cell. But they are not aloneThe cell holds Elpha and her young cubs. Captured by aliens that could not understand her Elpha was taken aboard a spaceship and brought to the cell. The regular meals they received at first have stopped and beside robot guards who respond to any disturbance with a pacifying stick no one else has been seen. Using his sonic screwdriver to open the cell the Doctor discovers that Elpha and many more are exhibits at a zoo that has been closed down and left on automatic. Finding a way to the control tower the Doctor begins to shut the zoo down properly, releasing all the caged species so they can start to take advantage of the planets rich natural habitats and deactivating the security robots. The Doctor gives Elpha the choice to stay or return home but she decides she wants her cubs to taste the air on their home world and accepts the Doctor offer to leave and offers to help carry the Doctor and Amy back to the TARDIS.
