All in good time

All in good time Part 3

We looked around, the TARDIS had “materialized” in front of a cave.

“Onwards then eh?”

“What, In there?”

“Yep”

“You’re crazy.”

“I know right? isn't it brilliant?”

I sighed, I sigh a lot these days.
And with good reason too, this guy is crazy.

“Well whatever, lead the way.”

“Oh, wait, hold on a sec, back in a jiffy!”

With that, the Doctor quickly trotted into the TARDIS only to come out a second later with the very same rod shaped object he had when I first met him.

“Alrighty then! Onwards and upwards!”

“What is that thing?”

The Doctor paused and held out the rod shaped object.

“What, this old thing? Well that’s my sonic screwdriver of course!”

“What’s a sonic screwdriver?” I asked curiously.

“Well-” The Doctor started. “A sonic screwdriver can do many ‘a thing’s. But it's most brilliant feature is that it can open anything whatsoever, locked doors, treasure chests what have you! It really is an amazing invention I say”

“Sound’s fascinating, that’d be cool to have I guess.”

“Anyhow, enough chit-chat for now, we've got a planet to save!”

So we made our way into the cave, that was lit with torches no less.
Creepy…

“Little dank in here isn’t it?”

“Quite right, a little too quiet too, I'm not liking this at all.”

Walking for another what seems like an hour I look around.
Just torches and walls.

“So Doctor, what exactly do you-“

As I speak I notice the Doctor stopped in the middle of the path.

“Doctor?”

“No…”

The Doctor looked straight ahead, it wasn’t clear as to what he was looking at, but as I stepped closer it became more horrifyingly apparent.

“Oh my Luna”

On the cave floor were the scattered bodies of dead ponies everywhere. Stallions, Mares even Fillies, drained and lifeless in front of me. But they all had something in common.

“They’re all… dead, aren’t they?”

He nodded.
The bodies of the ponies were all unicorns. They’re horns were pale grey.

“What’s happened to their horns?”

The Doctor turned his face to mine.

“Now I know what’s properly happened to them. Their life force and magical energy have been siphoned out of their bodies, rendering them dead in the process”

He paused, thinking to himself deeply.

“Doctor-”

“We need to stop this. Come on”

“B-but, Doctor-“

“I said, come on”
