The Shalka Doctor is now companionless, his strange visions of war almost gone. Life couldn't get any worse. Except it does. He runs into his Twelfth and Thirteenth Lives, as they've all been taken out of their Timestreams by the Time Lords, and to an alien planet where war is raging on. Packs of wolves fighting for who knows what. This may be the War the Doctor'd been preparing for. And one of his visions may be true.
