Synopsis for "Doctor Who and the Iron Legion (part 3)"
Continued from last issue...
Having been involuntarily thrown into the pit of the Roman gladiatorial arena on an alternate Earth, The Doctor must now face a large alien known as an Ectoslime. The Ectoslime is known for stunning its victims with its odor, and then liquefying and drinking them. The Doctor covers his mouth and nose with his scarf so as not to breath in the smell, and he retrieves a spear from a fallen alien from the previous gladiatorial match. While keeping the Ectoslime at bay, he tries to remember the Ectoslimes' weakness. General Ironicus motions for the alien to kill him, but The Doctor begins speaking to the slime in an alien language. The Ectoslime stops short of killing The Doctor, and he tells the crowd that he told it a joke in its native tongue, since Ectoslimes are known for their highly developed sense of humor. Furious that The Doctor ruined his game, Ironicus demands that The Doctor be brought to him.
The Doctor is brought to Ironicus, who has him put to work in the Imperial Air Galley, a blimp, as a slave. While working, he meets a cyborg by the name of Morris. Though Morris has a diminished intellect, the two become friends. Ironicus, Emperor Adolphus Caesar, and Caesar's mother walk down the gangway of the blimp, and The Doctor notices something about the mother. Morris asks him what it is, and he informs the cyborg that he's figured out the terrible secret of the Galactic Roman Empire.
