A girl, a Time Lord, and a Sorcerer Supreme...trapped in the Labyrinth of a Goblin King! But, this isn't Jareth's doing. Another mystical force threatens the life of Sarah Williams - or, specifically, the elder version of her. A member of the Master...
Yes, and so did Sarah. Trapped in the Dark Dimension! It was the last place any Master of the Mystic Arts wished to be!
Meanwhile, Doctor Strange found himself leading a charge into Jareth's castle with one member of his party missing. No, make that two members. "Where's Hogbreath?" he asked in an ill-mannered reference to Hoggle, who was oddly nowhere to be found. Strange was quick to make a hasty conclusion: "He probably ran away – the coward. No matter. We can still do this with just the four of us."

"Right you are, sir!" Sir Didymus daringly concurred.
"Sir Didymus, you and Ludo go and find Sarah," Strange commanded.
"But I thought the fair maiden sorceress fell through that portal," Sir Didymus recollected. "You expect us to follow after her the same way?"
"PORTAL...BAD!" Ludo roared.
At first, Strange did not understand their confusion, but he immediately clarified his command. "No, no. Go and find the other Sarah."
"There are two?" Sir Didymus remarked, even more puzzled now.
"Yes, there's one much younger than the other," Strange told him. "She's with a man in a bowtie who calls himself 'Doctor'. They should be somewhere in this castle, possibly held captive in a dungeon."
"I see," Sir Didymus finally comprehended. "And what shall you be doing while we are on this task, brave sir?"
"I'm going to find Jareth...and kick his ass," Strange declared.
So, the three heroes split up – Strange to confront Jareth and Sir Didymus (riding on Ambrosius) and Ludo to wander the halls of the castle endlessly, seeing that it was more of a labyrinth than the one outside, until they quite literally bumped into the very people they were searching for: the Doctor, the young Sarah, and Toby.
"It is you – the young fair maiden sorceress!" Sir Didymus exclaimed.
"What?" Sarah reacted bafflingly to his perception of her. She eyed the two strange characters, who she met under different circumstances in another timeline. The big, furry horned one terrified her at first, but then she saw the sweet gentleness of his eyes. And the fox-terrier wearing an eyepatch and riding a sheepdog that closely resembled Sarah's own dog, Merlin – she found him quite dashing. "Who are you two?"
"We have come to free you," Sir Didymus told her.
"A bit late for that," the Doctor uttered. "But you can help us get out of here."
Of course, the Doctor was most of the help. They followed his sonic screwdriver, which was connected to his TARDIS, which was held in the throne room...where they also found a certain sneaky dwarf.
