Last time, the Doctor and the Toon kids were in London, where they teamed up with Alistair again, who has become a UN Brigadier for UNIT, to stop an alien invasion of both the Ice Warriors and the Cybermen, which they succeeded by the way. Now, the TARDIS was flying through the time vortex, while the Doctor and the kids were traveling inside it. Doctor: "Now then... where should we go next?" Tommy: "I don't know... what about you Gidget?, uh... Gidget?" asked Tommy, before he noticed that Gidget was trembling and her eyes were closed tightly, like she was having a headache or something. Melody: "Gidget?, are you okay?!" Jokeo: "What's wrong?" Jokey: "Say something!" called out the kids, before Gidget finally opened her eyes and shock. Gidget: "Oh... my head..." Tommy: "Gidget, what happened?!" Gidget: "I... I think I just had a vision... one about what's about to happen at any moment... there were people... putting us on trial..." Doctor: "Whatever for?" Gidget: "I didn't get a good view... but I heard one of them saying something about... breaking the laws of Gallifrey..." said Gidget, which made the Doctor widen his eyes in realization on who she was talking about. Tommy: "Wait... isn't Gallifrey the name of your home planet?" Doctor: "Well..." suddenly, the whole TARDIS shook up like crazy, like something caught a hold of it and now the TARDIS was being pulled to who knows where. Melody: "What's happening?!" Doctor: "They found us!... they're taking us to Gallifrey!" Jokeo: "Who?!" Doctor: "My people... the Time Lords..." said the Doctor, before the TARDIS makes a landing inside a large room that was located on the planet Gallifrey, the home world of the Doctor and his people, the Time Lords. Tommy: "So... we're on your home planet?" Doctor: "Yes... unfortunately..." Melody: "What do you mean?" suddenly, the doors of the TARDIS was opened, and a group of three Time Lords (First being played by Bernard Horsfall, Second being played by Trevor Martin, and Third being played by Clyde Pollitt), who were looking at the Doctor. First Time Lord: "Doctor... the time of you breaking our laws is over... it's time to put you on trial." Melody: "What?!, whatever for?, he didn't do anything wrong!" Second Time Lord: "He has broken our laws of Gallifrey, and now he must face punishment." Doctor: "...How did you find me?" Third Time Lord: "We got a tip from an anonymous source that you were on Earth in the 20th century... and we managed to track you back here just as you were leaving..." Tommy: "I don't understand... what laws did he broke?" Doctor: "You see... the Time Lords have a law of just observing the events of the universe, never to interfere... which I have been doing since we've met..." First Time Lord: "Not to mention that you stolen a TARDIS." Gidget: "Wait... you stole the TARDIS?!, so this isn't really your ship?" Doctor: "Well... not exactly... but I had no choice... I got bored of just watching the universe... I wanted to experience it first hand... I'm sorry kids... for keeping this a secret..." Jokey: "Hey... it's okay, I mean you have done nothing but protecting the universe from the evil that was trying to destroy it." Jokeo: "Yeah, and you saved us from the Demon trio many times too, that alone proves that you're really a good man." Second Time Lord: "He still broke the laws of Gallifrey, therefore, he must face the consequences." Doctor: "Yes... I suppose it was just only a matter of time... very well... let's get this over with..." Tommy: "May we be his voices of defense?" Third Time Lord: "...Very well... though I doubt it would change anything..." said one of the Time Lords, before they, the Doctor, and the Toon kids went to the courtroom, where the Doctor is put on trial. First Time Lord: "Now then... Doctor, you are here in trial for the crime of not only interfering with the events of the universe outside of Gallifrey, but also stealing a TARDIS from your own planet and people... how do you plead?" Doctor: "Guilty... but all I wanted was to explore, not only to observe, but to experience it..." Tommy: "Not only that, but he saved a lot of lives while doing it." Gidget: "Yeah, like he saved us from a group of creatures from the Underworld... the Demon trio..." Melody: "But they're not the only meanies in the universe that the Doctor stopped." Jokeo: "Yeah, there were also the Daleks, who wanted to exterminate all life that wasn't Dalek... then there were the Cybermen, who wanted to convert people into emotionless robots like themselves." Jokey: "And there were those giant crab monsters called Macra, and there were also the Ice Warriors, who teamed up with the Demon Trio and the Cybermen to invade the Earth." Tommy: "It's true, we were there the whole time." Melody: "If the Doctor isn't there to stop such evil in the universe... then who will?" Doctor: "Yes... they're correct, while you were just sitting here watching, I had to do something about the evil that has almost destroyed all life in the universe, including Earth... would you really allow such a terrible thing to happen?" asked the Doctor, before the trio of Time Lords whispered to each other, and then made their decision. First Time Lord: "Very well... I suppose that someone has to do something about it... however... those who go breaking our laws still have to be punished... therefore... we decided to sentence you and your companions to live on Earth of the 20th century... in exile." Doctor: "Exile?!" First Time Lord: "Yes, and the secrets of the TARDIS will be taken away, therefore, you and your companions shall remain there until we say otherwise." Doctor: "But... being stranded on a single planet at a single point in time?" Second Time Lord: "Yes." Third Time Lord: "Indeed." First Time Lord: "And another thing, as part of the exile, you shall received a forced regeneration." Tommy: "You mean... changing his face again... like last time... but by force?!" Gidget: "But you can't do that!" Doctor: "She's right!, you can't just decide on what I look like!" First Time Lord: "We will at least let you choose a face." Doctor: "Oh... well I suppose that's fair..." First Time Lord: "You have three faces to choose from..." said the first Time Lord, before a screen shows some pictures of three faces for the Doctor to choose from. The first face was of an old man, the second face was a skinny man, and the third face was a man with big ears. Doctor: "You can't be serious, these are the faces I have to be stuck with while living in exile?!" Second Time Lord: "Either you pick one of the faces of the selection, or we'll choose for you." Doctor: "Now hold on a second, I didn't say you could choose for me, I should have the right to choose what to look like." Melody: "Yeah, it's not fair to force people to change against their will... it's wrong..." First Time Lord: "It is one of the laws here in Gallifrey, like it or not." Doctor: "But the kids... will they'll be okay?" First Time Lord: "Well we were originally gonna send them back to their original time line and erase their memories... however... JDD will not allow that..." Doctor: "Who?" First Time Lord: "A writer of this story... and even we know better than to argue with him." Tommy: "Hey wait a minute... breaking the 4th wall is our job!" Gidget: "Um... I think that's the least of our worries..." First Time Lord: "Indeed... for the Doctor has not yet made his choice, therefore we shall select for him." Doctor: "Now hold on just a second!, you can't just... oh... my head..." Melody: "Doctor?, what's wrong?" asked Melody, before the whole room went dark, and some images of the Doctor's faces was around the real Doctor, spinning around him. Doctor: "What's hap... what's happening?!" First Time Lord: "The time has come for you to change your appearance and begin your exile." Doctor: "Is this some kind of joke?!, you're making me dizzy!, you can't do this to me!, no!, no!, no!" shouted the Doctor, as he he was now falling into total darkness, and the kids were falling with him. The TARDIS, now under the control of the Time Lords, was taking the Doctor and the kids to the Earth and the era where they'll live in exile. While on the way, the knocked out Doctor's face and hands began to glow and a burst of golden energy comes out of them, as a sign that the Doctor was changing again.
