(ALTERNATE ENDING) Rocket to insanity: dawn of a dying Pegasus: the broken allegiance

Heading back to the library with Spike (no, I have not forgotten about Twilight being infected, that part is coming up soon), Twilight was slightly surprised to see a scroll on her doormat.  She hadn't been expecting a letter. Picking it up and reading it, she was slightly nervous and suspicious about the contents.

"Come to the abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Ponyville NOW. You'll regret it if you don't come, Twilight Darkness Sparkle. Yes, I know your full name. It's about Dash." There was no name or signature. How did this pony know about that... Incident when she was a filly, not to mention the name change? Only her relatives knew about that, and the psychiatrists! She had to see this pony, he could have information on Rainbow's poisoner! Or worse, he could BE the saboteur! Should she tell the princess? At that thought she growled. "No. I will NEVER trust the princess again, not after what she did!!!" She had made up her mind, and thus, ran off.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Twilight entered the warehouse, cautiously looking around for any sign of a pony.

"Well, it's about TIME you came, Sparkle!" She jumped and turned around to see a brown, wild haired colt staring at her, slamming the door and triple locking it.

"I must say, I'm slightly disappointed. I thought you were all about punctuality! Ah, well, you probably got home later than I anticipated, so I'll forgive you." He continued.

Twilight was breathing fast, scared. "W-who are you? Why did you tell me to come here?" She asked, trying to sound brave. The colt rolled his eyes.

"I said it was about Dash, didn't I? And don't worry, I'm not the one that poisoned her." Twilight was still staring at him suspiciously, and he sighed. "I've been following you ever since I saw Rainbow kill Pinkie, so if I wanted you dead, I'd have killed you long ago." At that, Twilight relaxed. "Alright then, who are you?" She asked again.

"The Doctor." Doctor Whooves said simply. Twilight looked puzzled. "Doctor Who?" He shook his head. "Nah, just the Doctor. I'm a time traveller." Twilight shook it off and noticed what was on his head for the first time. She gasped. It was Applejack's hat, her trademark, with the familiar frays and tiny patches. How did he-

"What is that?" She asked sharply. The Doctor glanced upward. "This? Well, it's a Stetson. I've been wearing Stetsons for a while now, Stetsons are cool." (Yeah, I said it. Don't like it? Too bad. #DealWithIt.) "No, I mean, that's Applejack's, I'd recognize it anywhere! Where did you get that?" Twilight questioned.

"Oh, well, I took it from her body, of course! She's dead, I couldn't let it go to waste!" He said casually. Twilight opened and closed her mouth rapidly, dumbfounded. "B-b-b-but h-h-h-how...."

The Doctor sighed. "Just come in here," he said, gesturing toward an old fashioned blue telephone box. He walked inside, and as he did, Twilight could've SWORN it looked bigger than it should've been. Hurrying inside, her jaw dropped as she witnessed the magnificence of the TARDIS for the first time.

"But.. I-it's... How... IT'S BIGGER ON THE INSIDE! THIS IS NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE, CONFOUND IT!" She shouted in confusion.

IS it??? I hadn't noticed!" The Doctor said in a voice dripping with sarcasm. "Twilight Sparkle, sometimes you just have to say, "buck logic!" And accept something, and this is one of those times. Anyway, come in here, quickly!" He walked into a room where Twilight could see five covered beds, each with a lump under the covers. The Doctor smiled ruefully. "Take a look."

He somehow swept all five covers off the beds at once, revealing the mutilated bodies of her friends, the rest of the mane 6, the now defeated Elements of Harmony. Twilight let out a choked sob as she looked at each of her dead companions in turn:

Pinkie Pie, stabbed in the chest by Rainbow Dash;

Applejack, speared through the back with a pitchfork, again by Rainbow Dash;

Rarity, peppered by the sharp diamonds that fell on her;

Fluttershy, injured by Rainbow and left for dead to be eaten by the wolves; The Doctor managed to kill the wolves, but not before one luckily severed her carotid artery, causing her to bleed out.

And finally, the killer, Rainbow Dash herself, saved and cured by Twilight, but soon mercilessly executed by the princess unworthy of her title, who didn't even give them a chance to explain that she was cured... The one known as Celestia...

Twilight gasped in terror as a horrible thought hit her. "Are you going to kill me?" She asked. "Are you going to put me on a bed just like them, to complete the collection?" She cowered in terror, awaiting great pain, but she only received a gentle hoof on her shoulder, and a reassurance that was just as gentle.

"Hardly. I lured you here because I can do something everypony wishes they could do." Twilight looked up to see a grin spreading across the Doctor's face.

"And what's that?" She asked, curious, and slightly hopeful.

The Doctor kept grinning. "One word. Resurrection."
