Same enemy new Problems

How could I have done this? I should have been more diligent. Ok I messed up But I can't mull over that fact right now I have ponies in danger depending on me........Well .....not really ponies more like one pony ......and by one pony I mean my too friendly for her own good grey bubble flanked companion Miss Ditzy Doo.

Ok, you've been in worse situations. There is always a way out you just have to be clever enough to figure it out.  So lets analyze the situation.....The Daleks have once again risen in numbers and are after me .....again. I wonder if they think that killing me will make them win once and for all. No one won in that war it was just a huge tragedy.

Stop it ,There are more important things to worry about now Ok so we are cornered and there seems to be no escape. I need to look around..........A HA PERFECT a ventilation shaft right under Ditzys hooves. Hmmmmmm It doesn't seem too structurally  stable all Ditzy really has to do is jump.

"DITZY!" I yelled " Jump up and down."

She stared at me for a second then started to jump up and down repeatedly. In the midst of her jumping she looked at me.

"Doctor what is the point of me Ju-." She didn't even get to finish that sentence, just as I had predicted the flimsy vent Broke and sent her tumbling into the shaft. Making sure to follow I Jumped in after her just as the Daleks we coming around the corner.

" ok doctor that worked but what now.?" she said looking at me with Pleading eyes.

"First off Ditzy my friend." I said as I started crawling through the ventilation shaft" We have to find our way Back to the Tardis."

I didn't look behind myself but I could hear her following me as we went along. We had been wandering through a maze of twists and turns for what seemed like forever and I was starting to worry that we were lost. But I couldn't let her know that I was nervous so I kept staring ahead. I only felt the need to turn around when I heard sniffling behind me. I didn't need to guess who it was. I turned around to see Ditzy with tears in her eyes.

"Ditzy?" I said softly " are you ok?"

She stood still for a moment then finally looked up at me with her beautiful amber eyes. It was so beautiful that I almost seemed to get lost in them when we made eye contact. I sometimes felt like I always put her in danger. Thats Why it hurt me so much to see her crying like this.

"Doctor what if we don't make it?" she said finally breaking the silence" what if I never see my friends or famil-." I cut her off By putting my hoof to her mouth. I looked at her and said the only thing that came to mind..

"I guess we shall have to just wait and see, But sitting around and crying won't help us at all,so lets continue trying to find the

Tardis."

I continued walking forward. I didn't want to lie to her and say that there was no way we could make it. I've been in situations similar to this one and they didn't exactly end well. I couldn't stand the thought of losing Ditzy though. so I was going to have to try and make sure she made it.

So I continued down the twists and turns untill we saw a light at the end of the tunnel....er I mean shaft. I looked through the vent to see if anyone was there. Luckily No one appeared to be. So I proceeded to kick the vent off of the things that held it in place and crawled out with Ditzy staying close behind me. From the looks of it we were in some sort of corridor.

"ok Ditzy lets continue." I said as we started to make our way down the corridor.

"Doctor where are we?"

"Well Ditzy from what the Tardis told me before we ventured out was that we are in some sort of base somewhere close to the crystal empire." I explained

"But the crystal empire hasn't been seen for over a thousand years, How do you know we are close to it?" she asked

"Ah Ditzy thats the fun part." I mused as I looked at all the doors we were passing." You see in about a day or two the crystal empire shall re-emerge ,and Twilight sparkle plus the other element holders will have to save the place from king sombra. It's one of the places I've always wanted to go in history ever since I came to equestria."

"who is king sombra?" she asked with childlike wonder

" oh you know just your typical tyrannical Dictator that wants to enslave all the ponies he can." I said as I chuckled"I had the pleasure of meeting him once, Mind you he wasn't very bright though.......the poor lad had been driven crazy with power all he really could say was a couple of words like ummm.....Lets see Crystals, Power,and want. that's all I ever heard him say Unfortunately My stay in the crystal empire was cut short when it disappeared."

I heard Ditzy pick up speed so she could walk beside me. she turned her head and looked at me. I looked back at her and saw that her eyes were still red from when she was crying and her face was still damp. I playfully nudged her as we were walking. Resulting in her giggling.

"Doctor why did the crystal empire re-emerge?" she asked still staring

"well Ditzy" I said still staring back at her" No one....I mean No pony has ever really known why. It was just a random magical blast. So no Pony really knows."

"oh." She said as if she was hoping for a better answer.

I was about to ask her if something was wrong,but I heard talking from behind one of the doors. I stopped in front of the door and motioned for Ditzy to get behind me. I put my ear against the door to listen in

"THE DOCTOR HAS GONE THROUGH THE VENTILATION SHAFT!" said a voice that sounded like a Dalek" WHAT ARE OUR COMMANDS?"

"why does there always have to be Daleks wherever I go?" I muttered to myself.

When I finished muttering that sentence I heard a bone chilling deep voice come from the door

"I want you all to get out of the building. The Doctor is a tricky one to find so Let him hide Since he won't come out We shall Get rid of him the easiest way possible. Start the self destruct sequence."

As soon as he said that all of the color drained from my face and I started to run with Ditzy following behind me

"Doctor what did you hear?" She said in a worried voice.

"They're going to Blow up the base."

I heard Ditzy gasp"Why would they do that?"

"Because I'm still here." I replied still running.

We stopped running as soon as we came to a four way intersecting corridor. I motioned for Ditzy to stay still while I went to check around the corners. I stepped out into the middle of the intersecting corridor and walked across to the other side Checking the left and right corridors as I walked. I was about to motion for her to follow me but Before I could I heard a sound that made me nervous. I turned around just to see a Clear panel come down between me and Ditzy separating us. I stared at her and she stared at me. The next thing i heard sent shivers down my spine.

" My dear Doctor I hate to say that I cannot find you." Said the same deep voice over the intercom."But I am pleased to say that this base will be nothing but rubble in 15 minutes so have fun,Oh yeah and one more thing I have sealed off certain corridors to ensure that you don't get to your precious Blue box."

At that moment the panic shrunk in and before I knew it I was beating on the glass trying to shatter it. I kept on Hitting it over and over again but it was just to thick. I looked around and saw no way to get through it. I felt tears forming at the corners of my eyes. I stared at her and she stared at me

"Ditzy can you hear me?" she nodded " Im going to get you out."

"Doctor go find the Tardis."

"WHAT!?"

"Doctor go."

"NO I'M NOT LEAVING YOU!"

"DOCTER!" she yelled"YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE GO AND FIND THE TARDIS!............I'll try to find a way to the Tardis on my own."

Before I could protest she turned around and started to run away from the glass leaving me to watch her go. There was nothing I could do. I fought back all the tears that were begging to break out. But I finally gathered up my willpower and forced myself to turn around and start searching for the Tardis. I kicked down Door after door trying to find the Tardis. I could not fail Ditzy.

Desperate times

“Find the Tardis, I have to find it, Ditzy is counting on me. If she dies it will be all my fault and I can not let that happen.” I said to myself as I ran through the maze of corridors. Even though I was adamant about finding the Tardis I had the poison of fear rising in my gut.

The worst part about this whole mess is I should have seen it coming.

                                                                ***************************************

    Earlier that day.

“Ditzy can you please hurry up.” I called out.

“I’m coming, dear Celestia would you shut up!” She called out from somewhere within the Tardis.

“Well we’re about to arrive at our destination so, excuse me if I don’t feel like waiting.”

“Doctor we have a flippin time machine! If we are late we can literally just go back again.” She called back, with a hint of frustration in her voice. “Wait where are we going again?”

“To the time when Ponyville was founded.” I said “I’ve always wanted to see how that quaint little town was started”

“Why don’t you just read a history book?”

“Ditzy as you said before, and I quote: ‘You have a flippin time machine’” I said making quotation marks with my hooves “Now I think a time machine is much better than a history book.” I heard her sigh with frustration.

I always loved my sense of logic, Ditzy however, didn’t seem to share the love of my logic but it never bothered me. Once again I felt the all too familiar sensation of the Tardis shaking as it arrived at it’s destination. I stumbled for a second before regaining my balance once again, I still wasn’t exactly the best at walking yet, I had only been a pony for about a year now and the thought of it makes me question my sanity from time to time. I never thought a place like this would exist but, Voila! Here it was, a land of unicorns, pegasi, allicorns, and regular talking ponies.

I walked up to the center of the Tardis to check our coordinates and see if we were where we wanted to be. Something seemed a bit off as I checked our coordinates.

“Ditzy.”

“Yes doctor?”

“You don’t need to worry about dressing up.”

“Why?”

“Well we’re not going to need to, we seem to have ended up in an entirely different area.”

“Well then where are we?” She said coming out from a passageway and walking up to me.

“We seem to be in some sort of hidden building.” I said looking over the coordinates one more time. “Only one way to truly be aware of our surroundings though, so lets take a look around.” I made my way over to the exit.

“Doctor, what if it’s dangerous?”

“Don’t worry Ditzy I’ll protect you.”

                                                                     ***********************************

  Present time

I continued running as fast as I could kicking down doors left and right in an effort to find the Tardis. Sadly it seemed my efforts were going unrewarded.

“Come on where are you, blasted blue box!”

The timer in my head continued ticking away as I searched fervently. I did not know how much time we had left, but I knew every second that passed was just subtracting the amount of time I had to locate the Tardis. I was starting to tire out too, even I could not run forever. I could feel my body aching for me to stop, begging me to just sit down and let the rest of my time alive be consumed with a nap.

I had been busting down doors for a good five minutes, plus not to mention the fact that I had been running the entire day. So when I finally reached the last door and pushed it open weakly, I was more than happy to see what I had been looking for.

Sure as the sun on Princess Celestia’s butt, there it was: the Tardis, in all of it’s glory. I almost felt like crying when I saw the beautiful sight in front of me. My hope was short lived as one tiny detail clicked in my mind.

Derpy wasn’t here. I collapsed onto the ground and began to feel tears form at the corners of my eyes. She could be anywhere in the base but I couldn’t do anything to help her. Separated by a clear panel and I was powerless against it.

“What do I do? I can’t bring myself to enter the Tardis without her but I can’t do anything to help her.”

My talking came to a silence as I heard something approaching. I didn’t sound like a pony so I could only assume the worst; a dalek. I steadied myself as I awaited whoever or whatever was approaching.

My senses suddenly faded as I heard a crash above me and was knocked down by something falling on me. Pain shot through my body as I felt everything go Black.

**********************************

I felt like it had been hours when I finally started to wake. I couldn’t hear anything but the muffled cries of a mare yelling. I opened my eyes to see who was yelling at me but all I saw was a blurry silhouette of someone standing over top of me. When my vision started to come back to me, the first thing I saw was a pair of amber eyes staring at me, full of concern. It was Ditzy! Of course being ecstatic, I jumped up and hugged the mare.

It was at that time that my hearing decided to come back to me.

“Doctor!” she wheezed under the pressure of my hug.

“Yes?”

“We still have to leave, the base is going to blow up any second!”

“Oh, yeah.” I said, as I awkwardly let go Of her “Ok let’s get out of here!”

I ran for the entrance of the Tardis with Ditzy following right behind me. As the doors burst open I headed straight for the middle of the Tardis. I put in some coordinates as fast as I could so that Ditzy and I were out of harms way. As I pulled a lever back I felt the hum of the Tardis as it began to move.

“Ditzy?”

“Yes Doctor?”

“How did you find the Tardis?” I said, as I turned to stare at her.

“Well after I ran away from the panel, I found the ventilation shaft that we went through and I thought it was worth a shot. Anyway after getting lost in there for a while the floor gave out from under me and by pure luck you happened to be there to break my fall. By the way are you ok?”

“I’m fine, just a little sore” I said, examining my hooves.

I looked over to Ditzy as I felt the shaking of the Tardis indicating that we were at our destination.

“Where are we Doctor?”

“Ponyville In your present time.”

“Why?”

“I figured you would want to go say hi to your friends and see how your family members are doing.”

Ditzy got up and started heading for the exit.

“Are you coming?” She asked

“No I’m sorry I have to run some maintenance on the Tardis.” I said “But you go have fun I’ll be here when you get back.”

“Ok.” She said as she left the Tardis

I stood there for a couple of seconds waiting for her to be a good distance away. After five minutes I got up and walked over to a small desk looking area. I then proceeded to grab a quill and parchment and started writing. As I finished I stopped, looked at the paper, and sighed.

I grabbed a envelope and put the letter inside carefully sealing it. I walked over to the exit and stepped outside. I was hit with the many wonderful smells of ponyville. I basked in the Glistening  sunlight for a bit enjoying the warm sensation on my fur until I decided to get back to the task at hand…. I mean, hoof.

I spotted a little filly walking down the street. She had a pale yellow coat and A big red bow on her head. “Perfect” I muttered under my breath, remembering the last time I encountered that filly.

*******************************************

     Some time in the past

I had been walking along the streets by ponyville market enjoying the smells of the local produce. I don’t know why, but everything seems fresher when you are a pony, but I got used to it quickly. As I passed the Sweet Apple Acres market stand I was stopped by a small filly. She kept on pestering me to buy some apples, of which I declined, until she started harassing me. So me being the kind stallion that I am, I bought a bushel of apples and got out of there as fast as I could.

*******************************************

  Present

“Excuse me young filly.” I called out

“Howdy mister! What can I do ya fer?” she said In a southern drawl.

“I was wondering If you could deliver this letter to a mare named Ditzy Doo.” I said showing her the envelope.

“Sure thing, mister...?”

“You can just call me the Doctor.” I said handing her the letter.

“Okay, bye!” she said as she walked off with the envelope in her teeth.

I stood there for a couple of seconds making sure to take in my simple, yet amazing surroundings. I sighed as I got up and made my way back to the Tardis. I looked behind myself as I entered. The door closed, and a couple of seconds later, the Tardis faded from view as suddenly as it had appeared.
