He's like fire, and ice, and rage. He is a madman gallomphing in a box. He is the Oncoming Storm...and he's wonderful. He may be a fiction, but well-known, popular, and even somewhat relevant fiction, even in realities apart from our own.... ====================== Twilight Sparkle adjusted her Safari hat to complete the costume she arranged for herself: She looked in the mirror, and saw none other than the Seventh Doctor from the show, Doctor Whooves. She was very proud of how hard she worked to get her cosplay together, though the Fourth, Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Doctors would have all been preferred by her; however, all her friends insisted that she was the Seventh, so that's who she dressed as. She was so excited about this day that she sent a letter to Princess Celestia discussing all of the details about her favorite show and how all of her friends were going as different characters themselves. Spike went dressed as Elvis, which seemed to go against Twilight's costume, but it was okay for Twilight that he did so. They went right out the door to meet their friends, who also agreed with Twilight to cosplay as the many incarnations of the Doctor: Most of her friends were Hoovians now. It was a most especially beautiful Nightmare Night, and the sun had yet to fully set, so there was lights of red and orange all over Ponyville, and all the spider-webs and glittering costumes reflected the sun like the morning dew. Mayor Mare was now dressed as Wonder Mare, the band was playing on the stage behind her, mostly themes associated with family friendly Nightmare Night films and Mirror Stallion, the pony name for the artist that we would typically call Michael Jackson. When the background band finished playing, Octavia Melody was on break, and she was one of Twilight's friends whom she invited to dress as an incarnation of the Doctor. Octavia Melody went as the First Doctor, who was played by Moonshine (The thespian Pony that was called "William Hartnell" in the human world, and alas, his cutie mark was a bottle for alcohol, which his name also seems to reflect): She was rather obsessive about watching everything in order, and against Twilight's advice, she started with the First Doctor. Twilight was impressed that Octavia was such a huge fan of him, for she herself wasn't and neither were most of her friends. Ditzellia Esmeralda Derpy Doo Hooves, often interchangeably known as "Ditzy" or "Derpy", was dressed as the Second Doctor, who was played by Comic Genius (the pony name and equivalent of Patrick Troughton, complete with the comedy mask Cutie Mark), complete with recorder. Rarity went as the Third Doctor, (who was played by Smart Mouth, the pony version of Jon Pertwee) whom she found gentlemanly and classy, though she crushed strongly on the Tenth and would rather go as him, but alas! There was only one Pony suitable to be the Tenth. "The Third is a true gentlecolt anyway" she would say to comfort herself. Lyra Heartstrings wore the garb of the Fourth Doctor, played by Tough Cookie (the Pony name of Tom Baker, which unfortunately seemed to refer to how he was often overly assertive: His Cutie Mark was a a big frowny face, and his coat was used on the show to hide this Cutie Mark), complete with scarf and grin! She was, however, doing something most uncharacteristic of the Fourth Doctor: "NO! THESE ARE MY JELLY FILLIES!!!". Fluttershy was dressed as the Fifth Doctor (played by Softly Spoken, their version of Peter Davison, who had a Cutie Mark of what appeared to be a gentle flowing parchment of paper), because "he seems like such a nice Pony", as she always said. As far as Twilight knew, nobody was going as the Sixth Doctor (who was played by Gentle Heart, the pony that we would call, "Colin Baker", whom though he tended to play meanies, was actually a very nice stallion in real life, and his Cutie Mark was actually a really cute Teddy Bear with a heart on its belly, as his special talent was just being sweet in real life (it had to be hidden on the show by his coat because his character was really mean), and Twilight always thought that it was a terrible shame he never played as himself too terribly often on Doctor Whooves)...until Trixie walked by, wearing the distinctive coat. Twilight was not close to her, and was surprised that Trixie chose to wear that....thing....when by coincidence, all of Twilight's friends happened to be dressed as other Doctors. Twilight was also surprised when her brother and his wife Cadence showed up, the latter in cosplay of..."The Eighth Doctor!" Twilight exclaimed. "Twily! I got your letter!" "So you know all about the Doctor Whooves cosplay?" "Yes Twily! And Cadence and I found the Doctor Whooves movie on Hooflix, and...well...I don't really see the appeal, except for Doctor Whooves himself." Twilight defended by saying: "It's just the Doctor, and while the movie was merely passable except for the main star, who exceeds all expectations, it does not reflect most of the TV series!" "Wait, this thing has a TV series?" Twilight sighed and groaned: "Shining, what planet have you been living on?!" "Well, I liked it!" cooed Cadence, "and I dressed as the Main!" "Awesome! We needed an Eighth Doctor!" But Shining Armor had no idea what she was talking about: "Wait...there are EIGHT of these guys?" Twilight groaned again and tried to not kill her brother, and to do so, she should have to spend some time with her best friend. Twilight was none too surprised to see her best friend Applejack as the Ninth Doctor, who was played by Dramatic Darkness (the Pony name of whom WE would call "Christopher Eccleston"). What did surprise her, however, was this: "Applejack...you cut your mane!" "Ah know Sugarcube, dontcha lahk it?" Her new Mane was cut short all around except for some bit of her bangs and bits of the sides of her mane, which she wore down. She also wore the Ninth Doctor's leather jacket. "Like it....I love it!" Twilight exclaimed. Spike still had some criticism up his sleeve (which he did also currently have, as he was wearing a leather jacket): "Shouldn't you change your voice a bit to match your Doctor more?" "Spike!" shouted Twilight, but Applejack simply chuckled and had a good retort: "Well, Ah reckon every planet's got a south, dontcha think Sugarcube?" Spike tried to object: "Well..." he began, but he realized he couldn't really argue with that. "Spike, you're lucky Applejack is capable of comebacks, because seriously-" but before Twilight could even finish, she was pounced on by none other than Pinkie Pie! Pinkie Pie was the Tenth Doctor, (who was played by the Equestrian version of David Tennant, Theater Frenzy) which she had no problem with: "I'm the Doctor! I'm excited, are you excited too? Great! Who wants to sing the Doctor Whooves theme? Bu-ba-bumm, bu-ba-bummmmm...." Rainbow Dash was dressed as the Eleventh Doctor, who was played by Innocent Face, which she was compared to a lot; however, she greatly preferred the Ninth Doctor. "I like leather jackets" she would say poutily, "leather jackets are cool". However, this form of protest only proved her friends' point all the further. So there she was in tweed and bowtie, with a fez to cap it all. "At least the fez makes me 20% cooler" she would say. Her mane was even reminiscent of the Eleventh Doctor's mane, which it was so naturally. As she had already greeted her brother and his wife, and later her best friend, Twilight decided to ask why Trixie was also dressed as an incarnation of the Doctor: "Hello, um Trixie...You see...Me and many of my friends are dressed as different incarnations of the Doctor...it's an awesome coincidence that you complete the collection...so...how did you know?" Trixie snorted: "The Great and Powerful Trixie was not aware of you and your friends masquerading as all the inferior Doctors. With or without that decision of yours, Trixie would have dressed as him anyway." "Then, why him? Don't get me wrong, Gentle Heart is a great Stallion, but why did that incarnation of the Doctor make such a powerful impact on you??" "Because when the Great and Powerful Trixie was young, she did not have Great and Powerful Friendships. Every Great and Powerful Saturday Morning, after some Great and Powerful botched attempt to make the other foals see her greatness, Trixie would come to her Great and Powerful Doorstep, and with Great and Powerful sobs, would weep Great and Powerful tears. Her Great and Powerful mother would make her a Great and Powerful cup of cocoa and let Trixie weep while drinking it on her Great and Powerful lap; as it was always a Great and Powerful afternoon, together, they would watch the Great and Powerful show, Doctor Whooves. The Great and Powerful Gentle Heart was the Doctor the Great and Powerful Trixie grew up with, and he will always be her Great and Powerful Doctor!" "Yeah...okay then..." Twilight said uncomfortably, and she decided to go to her main social group, as she could not think of anything to say to Trixie. While trotting towards her friends, Twilight hummed the Doctor Whooves theme and wished very hard that the Doctor was real, that the TARDIS was real, the companions were real, and even all the monsters were real: It would account for a far more interesting world than the one she resided in. As Twilight caught up to her friends, she heard them in conversation: "Ah'm sorry Rainbow Dash, but yer more Eleventh Doctor than any pony here ever could be, sugarcube." "I don't care! I hate young guys! Young guys are rubbish!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "You DO realize that's something the Eleventh Doctor would say, don't you dear?" inquired Rarity. "What is it with you an' older gahs anyway Rainbow Dash...ya lahk that Soarin' feller, and also that Sukhbataar cowpoke, an' they're both nearly thirty, but yer barely over twenty!" "Well, frankly, young guys SUCK!" growled Rainbow Dash. "Oh really, Darling? What do you make of this?" Rarity pulled out a picture of Hugh Hoofner and his latest fiance. "What is wrong with THIS picture, Rainbow Dash?" "Uhh, he's fat?" Rainbow said. "I don't like fat guys. Fat guys are rubbish." "Well, yes dearie, but what else is wrong?" "Who is he anyway?" ask Rainbow Dash. "He's Hugh Hoofner, Sugarcube." "Oh! The founder of Playcolt! Yes! He's also a chauvinist! That's what's wrong with that picture!" Applejack replied "Well, that too, but what else sugarcube?" "I don't know..." Rainbow Dash began "...that's really all I can think of." "He's too old fer his fiance, Rainbow, donchatcha think?" " No he's not! ...actually, he would be cute, if he weren't such a fat chauvinist!" "Heeheehee! Oh Rainbow Dash, they have Doctors for this kind of thing...wait...that's While You were Sleeping!" giggled Pinkie Pie. "Shut up....they do?" Rainbow Dash inquired "Oh wait, yeah! There's the Ninth Doctor, and the arguably the Fourth!" "Not that Doctor, Sugarcube." "She means a psychiatrist, Darling." "No way! I'm way too cool for psychiatric treatment!" "Did your Daddy love you?" Fluttershy asked. "What?!" shrieked Rainbow Dash. Twilight decided to intervene: "Oh come on, girls, you know everypony is entitled to their own tastes-" but she was cut off by something shocking. From nowhere, a single cry pierced the air, and all paused at it: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!!!!" They all knew that cry altogether too well...or at least, Twilight and her friends did; most everypony else assumed it was part of this year's performance, and so they all clapped and cheered. And with no other warning than that, the Daleks invaded Ponyville, sending their electric rays upon the Pony populace. And, as this is a book with no soundtrack, imagine this playing (there will be a different variation this theme for each chapter): Youtube Video Prologue: The Eleven DoctorsThe Theme to today's episode: Youtube Video =============================== "WHAT DO WE DO?!" shrieked Rainbow Dash. Twilight answered: "We have to find shelter and tell Princess Celestia: Hurry!" So they all ran: Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Derpy, Lyra, Octavia, Trixie, Cadence, Shining Armor, Spike, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. They ran far and fast, but they made a sharp stop when their path was blocked by a single, lone figure: It was Pipsqeak. However, something was wrong, as he was standing perfectly still and wearing a gas mask. There was a silence that was broken by this: "Are you my mummy?" They all knew very well what that meant: "RUN!!!!" And so they did! Then they tried running into the nearby smithy, but there were screams coming from there, and they soon knew why: "You. will be. upgraded. You will. be. like us." The Cyberponies were performing their sick surgeries on many Pony victims to make them Cyberponies like themselves. They bolted, and ran, hoping to evade detection, but they were a mere seconds from being too late: "Hostile Elements. Will be. Deleted. DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!" luckily, they evaded the blasts that the Cyberponies fired upon them and ran to the next corner. It was there, however, that they saw more Daleks. There was a long pause on both sides, before a commanding Dalek rolled forward, and after scanning them for a while, and proceeded to interrogate them: "WHAT IS YOUR PUR-POSE IN FLEE-ING?" Twilight was about to give a sarcastic response about how she wasn't aware that running was not a natural reaction to being threatened death, but she was cut off by Trixie: "Beware Daleks, for the Great! And Powerful! Doctor! Is here!" "DOC-TOR.....THE DOC-TOR???" "...Ten Million years of absolute power, that's what it takes to be really corrupt!" Trixie continued. Lyra was swift to correct: "Actually, it would be about one thousand years in the case of the Daleks." Then the Dalek commander came to his troops to give this speech: "A-LERT! A-LERT! MUL-TI-PLE BE-INGS MAT-CHING ALL KNOWN RE-GEN-ER-A-TIONS OF THE DOC-TOR HAVE BEEN SIGH-TED!" "Way to go, genius" groaned Octavia. Then he turned around, and all the Daleks repeated what he said "A-LERT! A-LERT!" they all shouted. "ALL U-NITS CON-VERGE TO AR-E-A F-8-5-H-8-6 TO EX-TER-MIN-ATE THE DOC-TOR!!!!!!" "WE O-BEY! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!!" "I know!" exclaimed Twilight "Fluttershy's cottage!" They ran there, loosing the Daleks in the overgrowth that surrounded the place. But what greeted them there was most surprising: Apparently the Sontarans were recruiting Fluttershy's animals to be part of their foreign legion. "Sontar-Ha! Sontar-Ha! Sontar-Ha! Sontar-Ha!" they all shouted, with Angel Bunny cheerfully partaking the pounding of the fist into the hand that went with the Sontaran war chant, and smiling broadly as he did so. Fluttershy was initially shocked to see this (though at least to see Angel act as a wanna-be Sontaran scarcely surprised the rest). "Oh no, they brainwashed Angel!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "I don't think they brainwashed him, Fluttershy" Rainbow Dash replied. Rainbow Dash was proven right by the Sontaran commander giving this speech: "Most of these animals are worthy for the Sontaran Foreign Legion, but this Lagomorph-" he began, raising Angel Bunny's paw "-this Lagomorph, is worthy of being a true Sontaran!" All the while, Angel was smiling broadly. As Fluttershy's cottage was clearly no longer an option, and as Fluttershy was now weeping so very bitterly, they went for the Carousel Boutique...but it was being invaded by Silurians! "Here, the Silurians shall rebuild their civilization!" Rarity had a different opinion: "Oh dear, you simply cannot destroy Pony civilization wearing that. You should try this! Oh, don't worry dear, I'm good at this!" She said, removing the mismatching outfit the Silurian assembled from random clothes at the Boutique, and making a newer and better outfit for the Silurian. "Ta-daa! What do you think?" Another Silurian had a prompt response to that: "You know what I think? I think that it is unnecessary to claim what rightfully belongs to the Silurians!" But the Silurian that Rarity dressed had a different opinion: "Actually, I think it really brings out my character..." "I told you I was good!" Rarity chimed cheerfully, but Twilight pulled her away from blasts from Silurians guns. They went to the balloon yard with hopes of going to Cloudsdale, but then there was a pale, tall, slim figure, with hardly any mouth and dark, deep-set eyes standing there. Then the ponies ran from it as quickly as they could...but then they forgot it was there, and ran back to the balloon yard, and then ran away from it again. This cycle repeated itself for at least a good 15 minutes. "Why...*huff* am I so tired..." Twilight asked? "Ah dunno, but the balloon yard's *huff* bad mojo, Sugarcube" "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!!!" "Come on!" shouted Twilight. So they ran to the cemetary, which was hopefully filled with many Ponies celebrating the Day of the Dead late. However, though they were right to assume that there were no ghouls there, there was something else: Standing all alone in the clearing, a lone, tall firgure stood still. Perfectly still. "DON'T BLINK!!!!!!!!!!!!" shrieked Pinkie Pie. They couldn't walk into a cemetery with a Weeping Angel in it...or could they? "I have an idea: We must walk through the cemetary, but one pony must keep eyes on the Weeping Angel the entire time" Twilight said. Pinkie Pie yelped "I'm on it!" Pinkie walked backwards the entire time staring at the Angel, but the Daleks were closing in on them. "Pinkie, I'll watch the Angel now" said Rainbow Dash. Twilight said: "I have an idea! Let the Daleks come closer, and when I say go...stop watching the Angel." "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" the Daleks shouted. "Twilight...they're getting closer!" yelled Lyra. "And...now!" They all jumped out of the cemetary, releasing the Angel from its bondage of being seen. The Daleks paid no attention to the Angel, proceeding focused solely on the Ponies...and this single mindedness they paid for dearly. "THE DOC-TORS HAVE VA-NISHED FROM VI-SI-BIL-I-TY!! COM-MENCE SEARCH!" "I O-BEY!!!" "AC-TI-VATE FOG-LIGHTS!" "I O-BEY!" The Ponies saw the white lights of the Daleks beam over the wall, and they ducked low to avoid them. Dalek T54K67 had beamed his foglights over as much of the cemetary as he could cover, and he saw nothing unusual, save a single, Angelic statue that stood alone, shielding its eyes, as though it were weeping. Such superstitious and sentimental beings, ponies were. He felt a strange uncomforability as he realized his companions were several paces away from him, and seemed to feel...odd...at the thought of encountering multiple Doctors all by himself. What was this feeling? Fear? No, the Daleks felt no fear, they were the supreme beings of the Multiverse! It had finished its scan of the area of the graveyard, and as it found not one single Doctor, it felt some kind of calm. Relief? No, Daleks did not feel relief, because Daleks know no fear....right? It sent a message to its fellow Dalek troops: "DAL-EK G-8-4-M-0-2, THIS IS DAL-EK T-5-4-K-6-7, I HAVE FI-NISHED SCAN-NING MY AS-SIGNED RE-GION! DO YOU CO-PY? O-VER!!" There was no answer...... "DAL-EK G-8-4-M-0-2, THIS IS DAL-EK T-5-4-K-6-7, DO YOU READ ME? O-VER!!" Still no response. "DAL-EK D-8-3-O-9-5, THIS IS DAL-EK T-5-4-K-6-7, DAL-EK G-8-4-M-0-2'S COM-MUN-I-CA-TOR IS BRO-KEN, HE MUST BE SENT BACK TO BASE! IM-ME-DI-ATE-LY!! IM-ME-DI-ATE-LY!!" But there was no "I O-BEY" from Dalek D83O95. So Dalek T54K67 began to scan the entire cemetery, and much to the strange, uncomfortable feelings that surely must be blasphemous for a Dalek to feel, he was all alone, just him and that Angel statue. The Angel statue... ...It had moved since Dalek T54K67 last scanned it. No, that can't be right. Something must have been wrong with Dalek T54K67's processing units. But then Dalek T54K67 scanned the cemetery, and came across a gruesome sight: The remains of a Dalek. He was now on guard. "DAL-EK T54K67 TO BASE, RE-QUES-TING BACK-UP: I HAVE CAUSE TO BE-LIEVE THAT THE DOC-TOR IS HERE EX-TER-MIN-A-TING OUR FEL-LOW DAL-EKS..." He was relieved when he got an "I O-BEY" response over his communicator. NO! Daleks never needed to feel relief! Dalek T54K67 was a good Dalek, and he felt no fear! To prove himself correct, he turned on his loudspeakers, and shouted: "DOC-TOR! SHOW YOUR-SELF!!! I KNOW THAT YOU ARE HERE!!!" But there was no response...And what was creepier still, was that he found the remains of another Dalek...But he only found those remains plus the ones he found earlier. There were six Daleks that stormed the cemetery. One lived, two were exterminated, but the other three...seemed to just vanish...into nothing... He was alone. And there were no other Daleks, no Doctors, just himself and the Angel statue... THE ANGEL STATUE!!!! It had moved again! And it was uncomfortably close to Dalek T54K67. That was far more than Dalek T54K67 could possibly bear. "THIS IS DAL-EK T-5-4-K-6-7!! I AM RE-QUES-TING IM-ME-DI-ATE BACK-UP!! O-BEY!!! O-BEYY OOOOBEEEYYYYY- AUGH!! I'VE BEEN EX-TER-MIN-A-" There was a pause. And the static of his message ended there. The Weeping Angel enjoyed playing with her prey. First she fed off the temporal energy of the first 3 Daleks she caught, sending them into other places of time and space, but then she decided that as she was full, she would stalk and kill her other targets...just for fun... There was a long silence. Twilight peeked over the stone wall...and the Daleks were gone. Only the Angel remained. "Hurry, before the Angel stirs again!" StarSong heard a doorbell ring, and she so she opened the door expecting foals asking for candy. Naturally, she was more than slightly surprised when this sight greeted her instead: "NIGHT-MARE NIGHT! EX-TER-MIN-ATE! COME ON OUT AND MEET YOUR FATE!!!!" StarSong was not too keen on "meeting her fate", so she quite rudely slammed the door in the Daleks' faces, to which they did not take to kindly. "AC-TI-VATE HIGH PRES-SURE VAC-UUM TUBES" "I O-BEY." Then the seemingly silly suction cups of the Daleks right arms proved their true purpose: One of them was placed firmly on the door to Berry Punch's house, and then there was a sucking sound that ended with a small thud. The Dalek proceeded to tear out the door as gingerly as a Dalek could, and this allowed the rest to roll into her house: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! AN-NI-HIL-ATE!! DES-TROOOOOOOYYYYYY!!!" After some brief flashes of light, the Daleks exterminated StarSong. Meanwhile, Dalek X85D60 decided to dispose of the door and intended to exterminate an undesirable pony at the same time. Its eystalk found just the pony, and thus it jettisoned the door onto the head of the pony from the cliff on which the Dalek was positioned. Toola-Roola was trotting peacefully, unaware of all the monsters that were now attacking Ponyville. That is, until a door fell on her head. "AC-KNOWL-EDGE IT! NO-PO-NY LIKES GEN-ER-A-TION THREE POINT FIVE!!! ...UN-LESS A VE-RY MIN-TY CHRIST-MAS COUNTS, AND THAT WAS AL-MOST ITS OWN U-NI-VERSE!!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE THE WORST PO-NIES!!!!" "HEY! Breaking the Fourth Wall is MY gag!" Screamed Pinkie Pie, but Twilight covered her mouth before she could continue. The Daleks were also surrounding the City Hall, forcing Mayor Mare into a corner: "Wha-, wha-, what do you want??" she wimpered. "WE ARE SEARCH-ING FOR THE ONE WHO AD-DRESSES HER-SELF AS THE DOC-TOR: CAN YOU I-DEN-TI-FY HER?" The Ponies who cosplayed as the Doctor had all peeked from over the corner of a nearby building. "Her? But Ah thought the Doctor was a gah!" "Shh, quiet Applejack!" hissed Twilight. "THE DOC-TOR HAS CHANGED HIS SEX TO E-VADE THE DAL-EKS, BUT THIS COW-ARD-LY MOVE WILL NOT FOOL US. HE WILL BE EX-TER-MIN-AT-ED!!!" Then all the Daleks shouted "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" over and over again like chant or a mantra. The Ponies knew that now was a good time to leave, so they rushed to Twilight's house, the only available shelter they could find.... When they were in Twilight's house, Derpy went to the top floor and observed that the monsters were turning Ponyville into a labyrinth of machines and monstrosities "Looks like they've been doing Ponyville up a bit...hm, I don't like it." ================== The Closing theme for today's episode: Youtube Video Coming soon...Chapter 1 The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 1: The DecisionThe Theme to today's episode: Youtube Video =================== While Derpy was looking at how Ponyville was morphing, Twilight Sparkle was leaving her door open to accomodate more refugees, and blasting any approaching monsters with her magic. The Daleks were none too keen on this: "YOU WILL COME OUT IN-TO THE O-PEN, DOC-TOR!!!" "Why, so I can just let you kill me?" The Daleks responded by shooting some warning blasts of their electric rays. "Twahlaht, the Dahleks are gettin' closer!" "Hurry Twily! Put up the magic shield!" Twilight was initially reluctant to do so, as she hoped to accomodate more refugees, but she realized that if she left her house un-shielded for much longer, then the Daleks would come, exterminate all the ponies in there, and it would have all been for nought. So with a heavy heart, she put up her inpenetrable magic shield, which destroyed and killed all Daleks within it, and kept all the remaining Daleks out. Among the refugees were Sukhbataar and Harley, both possible fathers of Scootaloo. They were not a gay couple, but rather, were seduced by the same mare, Corvette, often known as "Little Red", at some point in their life, and they actually had only grudging respect for each other. Other than that, and the fact that they were Pegasi who were nearly 30 with orange coats and frequently subject to Rainbow's affections, which they both enjoyed as she was so much nicer than Corvette, they were tremendously different: Harley was a scroungy biker, whereas Sukhbataar was a soft-spoken scientist. Harley was a typical Pony, and Sukhbataar was a entirely different race, a Przewalski's Horse. Harley was from nearby Hoofston, and Sukhbataar came all the way from Przewalskia. Harley grew his pale mane long, but Sukh kept his dark mane short. Harley was talkative, and Sukhbataar was quiet. Harley went as a slasher for Nightmare Night, and Sukhbataar went as Sheerluck (Pony Sherlock). Harley was always in barfights, and Sukhbataar was always a model citizen. Needless to say, Scootaloo liked Harley better, which made Sukhbataar feel sad, because he truly did love Scootaloo and had little family than her. It was, however, perhaps a bit of a comfort that Rainbow Dash apparently liked Sukh better than Harley, for reasons that so far, only Rainbow knows, assuming she could understand herself. There was also Snips, who was dressed as a Sheltie (an MLP Hobbit), who was distressed because his friend Snails was outside, Fancy Pants, who was dressed in masquerade attire, Soarin', who was dressed as Han Solo, and also all of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Lyra saw Scootaloo crying because her mother was not among the refugees, and Scootaloo knew perfectly well what would most likely happen to Ponies who were out when there were Daleks and Cyberponies about: Death or Assimilation. Lyra observed and despite usually being socially awkward, she knew, concluded that now was a time not to act like Tough Cookie...but now was a perfect time to act like the pony Tough Cookie always aspired to be, the Fourth Doctor: "Would you like a Jelly Filly?" she asked. Scootaloo took a Jelly Filly, but had a hard time chewing and swallowing it because she was still sobbing intensely. Lyra could not cheer up the filly so easily, but then she saw Doctor Red Cross, and she had an idea. "You're a Doctor, right?" "Yes, that's right, I'm the Doctor-" "No you're not! You're a Doctor, but you're not THE Doctor! I'm THE Doctor, the definite article you might say!" Then, Lyra picked up a jump rope and swung it over Dr. Red Cross' head, forcing him to jump with her, thus Lyra started up a chant: "Mother! Mother! I feel sick! Send for the Doctor, quick quick quick! Mother dear, shall I die? Yes my darling, by and by!" Even though Lyra mentioned the word "mother" and "die", Scootaloo couldn't help but laugh a little. Then she helped herself to another Jelly Filly...and another...and another...and another...until she had a sugar rush (Jelly Fillies, just like our Jelly Babies, are sugar bombs, more so than most candies): "WOWI'MSOHAPPYAREYOUHAPPYTOO?LET'SPLAY!!!" Lyra was beaming with joy, because she mistakenly thought that it was her who made Scootaloo so happy! Applejack, on the other hand, was feeling serious as all heck. "Say Twahlaht, how do yah reckon all those monster came to Ponyville in the first place?" "I don't know Applejack; I'm as stumped as the next mare. The Gates of Tartarus? Space? Another reality? A psychic force of us all liking Doctor Whooves? I don't know" said Twilight. "Frankly, I seriously doubt it's even that important." Rainbow Dash, like all good mares, was entirely for abstinence, but at the same time, she had strong urges that she couldn't completely suppress, so she redeemed both sentiments in a curious fashion: By smothering Stallions with something edible and then licking them or nibbling them (except in their special areas), but nothing more. It was so innocent and yet so un-innocent at the same time, and nopony else really knew what to make of it, but it seemed as if most of the stallions she captured enjoyed it enough. She was especially keen on doing it during times of extreme stress, such as now. "Lets start with...Apples!" she declared, picking up Big McIntosh and smothering him with applesauce and applecider, then she seized him and began to nibble his ear. But then she paused, thought about it, and said: "On second thought, I hate Apples! Apples are rubbish!" "How about...bacon?" So she snagged Sukhbataar and wrapped him up in Bacon, but after a taste, she spat it out and said, "Scootaloo, what the heck is wrong with this potential father of yours?!? Are you trying to poison me?!!?" Before Scootaloo could explain it wasn't her fault that her dad was inedible, Rainbow Dash studied him carefully, and said..."No...he's fine...it's the food I used that's bad! How about...beans!" Sukhbataar was then smothered with baked beans, and Rainbow Dash promptly began to lick him. She didn't mind the way Sukh's coat tasted, but the beans- She spat them out onto the sink and groaned "ugh, these beans are evil! Time for butter!" So she got Soarin' and smothered him with butter, but then she spat the butter and his hairs out and threw him to the other side of the room. "And stay there!" she shouted. "You know what I really need?" said Rainbow Dash, grabbing Soarin', Sukhbataar, Shining Armor, and Harley by their tails, "what I need, is some Used Stud with Custard!" "Hey! That 'Used Stud' is my husband!" yelled Cadence. "I know, aren't you lucky?" chirped Rainbow Dash. "Put him down. NOW." "Fine," pouted Rainbow Dash, dropping Shining Armor very hard on his bum, "Big Mac will have to do." Then Rainbow Dash grabbed Bic Mac, and then, with their tails in hoof, she then dunked them in an impossibly large bowl of custard and swirled them in rapidly, like a blender. Then she pulled them all out, all smothered in Custard, and began licking and nibbling them. All were perfectly still and had wingboners, save Mac. It was a good thing that Shining Armor wasn't a Pegasus, because he would have got a mild wingboner in response to Dash's affections and how she took them out. He was still staring and blushing, much to the suspicions of his wife. In apparent response to this all of this, Derpy began to play "Little Red Corvette" on her recorder. Octavia, Rarity, and Trixie were all arguing over the situation and how it happened: "It's all your fault, you know that right?" Octavia spat at Trixie. "Nonsense! The great and powerful Trixie was not the one who summoned the Daleks to Ponyville, merely the one who gave them something to fear." Rarity began to scream: "Yes, and don't you know what Daleks do when they're afraid of something? THEY BUCKING KILL IT!!!! And now that you've got them scared horseapples of us, they're surrounding the library, waiting for us to DIE!!!!" "Hmph! The Great and Powerful Doctor Trixie is ready to die a most honorable and glorious death!" Fluttershy tried to say something to Trixie, but it was mumbled over and quiet. "What?!!" Yelled Trixie "Yeah...um...I'm sorry...I-I-I-I couldn't hear your over the sound of your ego...or the noise of your coat...*eep!*" With that, a huge physical fight started, with Trixie trying to pound Fluttershy and Rarity defending her best friend against the Unicorn. Then Rainbow Dash with difficult, pulled Rarity from Trixie (Fluttershy was sitting on top of Trixie's chest and punching her in the jaw repeatedly, until Trixie's mouth bled). Rarity, however, squirmed out of Rainbow's hooves and lept upon Trixie again, and snarling: "YOU LITTLE BI-" Then, all stopped what they were doing when they heard this conversation from the outside. "I COULD NOT HELP BUT FIND PLEASURE IN TWIST-ING THESE SEN-TI-MEN-TAL CHANTs OF THEIR'S INTO DALEK PROSE!!!! WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS SEN-SA-TION????" "THAT WOULD BE HU-MOR, DAL-EK G-8-5-M-7-3." "HU-MOR?? FAS-CIN-A-TING!!!!I SHALL CON-TIN-UE TO EX-TER-MIN-ATE PO-NIES IN CRE-A-TIVE FASH-IONS TO CON-TIN-UE TO FE-EL THIS HUMOR!!!!!!!!" After a pause, a Dalek voice spoke again: "DAL-EK D-9-2-K-0-1!!!" "Yes, OF-FI-CER?" "WATCH DAL-EK G-8-5-M-7-3. HE IS FE-EL-ING MORE HU-MOR THAN IS NOR-MAL FOR DAL-EKS!! HE MAY BE DE-FEC-TIVE!!!!" "I O-BEY!!" There was another pause, and it was cut by this: "HALT! YOU WILL I-DEN-TI-FY!" "You will. Identify. First." "DAL-EKS DO NOT TAKE OR-DERS FROM LES-SAR BEINGS!!!!!" "You have. Identified. As Daleks." "OUT-LINE RE-SEM-BLES IN-FER-I-OR RACE KNOWN AS CY-BER-PO-NIES!!!!!!" "Well. that. wasn't. very. nice." "NICE?!?!? NICE???! NICE?!?!?!??!??!?!?!! I DO NOT KNOW THE MEAN-ING OF THE WORD; IT IS NOT RE-GIS-TERED IN MY VO-CAB-U-LAR-Y BANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "This. Is. Obvious." "AU-DI-O SCANS IM-PLY MI-LD SAR-CASM!!!! RE-TRACT!!! RE-TRACT!!!!!" "Why. Apologize. When you. called us. Inferior?" "I-- HUH. ...........GOOD................POINT............." "State. your. Business." "WE ARE SUR-ROUND-ING THE CUR-RENT SHEL-TER OF THE DE-MON KNOWN AS THE DOC-TOR!!!" "Doctor? THE Doctor?" "NO, I MEAN DOC-TOR RAB-BIT...OF COURSE I MEAN THE DOC-TOR!!!!" "Easy. there. No need. To. be. Mean." "DON'T TELL A DAL-EK WHAT TO DO!!!!" "Apologies. Would you like. An alliance?" "WHAT FOR??????" "To berid. Of the Doctor. Forever." "RE-QUEST................................AC-CEPTED!!!!!!!" Derpy heard it all, and sighed. "Well this is it then." "It's what Derpy?" asked Rainbow Dash "It's over. Sooner or later, our time will come." "Oh nonsense," replied Rarity, in spite of her previous despair, "I felt that way once...it was my darkest day ever...but it was also my brightest..." "No Rarity," Lyra said, "It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for. So now is a good time to smile..." Pinkie said tearfully "I- I don't want to go!" Everyone was surprised when the normally pessimistic Octavia declared "Oh, it is far from being over! There is still a hope, a chance at defeating all the monsters, even if some Tom-fool makes it hard for us" she added, glaring at Trixie. "We must make form a group, and a plan." "Yes sir!" Lyra shouted. "Twilight, you're smart; got any ideas for how to defeat the Daleks?" "Well-" Twilight began, but she couldn't be certain...how do you defeat a Dalek? The Doctor often had luck on his side, which Twilight seemed to be out of. "Say Lyra...what do you know about Dalek anatomy?" "Well, okay, Daleks are basically the descendant of ponies who were transported by higher powers to the planet Skaro. The final versions of these ponies were called "Kaleds' and 'Thals', and Davros took some Kaled embryos and then cut all the 'chaff' of their genes, reducing them only to the things he considered important: Lumps of neural tissue with no remorse, which were the Daleks. He cut so much from their genes that without software to store more memory and help make straight loops in planning, Daleks would not be rational or even animals, but mere monsters. Davros thought that Evolution was synomymous with permanent improvement, which goes to show that he really didn't understand Evolution at all-" "No Lyra, I meant the machines- wait, what did you say?" "I said that Daleks are basically Ponies that-" "No, I mean, they need software to remember anything?" "That's right: Their organic brains are only capable of killing, so they need software enhancements to remember and to speak-" "That's it!" ===================================== The Closing theme for today's episode! Youtube Video The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 3: The ActSpecial Nightmare Night theme to today's episode: Youtube Video ============== "But wait...can't we come with you?" asked Applebloom. "Sorry Applebloom" started Twilight, "but we can't risk you or your friends." "But wah not?" Applebloom said tearfully. "Yeah!" chimed in Scootaloo, "we could take 'em!" "B'awwww, because you're too cute and likable to be at risk of Dalek extermination, whereas Spike is lazy and obnoxious and nopony likes Twist, so we don't give a horseapple if they get killed!" said Pinkie Pie. "Thanks" said Spike grumpily. "Hee-hee-hee! No problem Spike!" giggled Pinkie. "Always happy to give constructive criticism!" "That's not why Pinkie; the reason why we're bring Spike and Twist is because-" started Twilight, but Pinkie put of hoof in front of Twilight's face. "Well, that's why the Author is doing it, and what he says goes; capiche?" Pinkie said with a touch of menace. "Uh, ye-yeah, okay!" Then she summoned Lyra "Lyra...if you can learn anything about this 'Author', tell me...he must be investigated..." "Okay; you know, this 'Author' sounds like something that might appear on My Little Human..." Twilight groaned. My Little Human: Friendship is Bullshit was a TV show that was popular in Ponyville. It all began with the MLH franchise that started back in the 80s, which was geared towards adult stallions; the show was rank with violence and sex, and Stallions loved it. Eventually, it got rejuvenated in 2010, (the current year was 2012, over two millennia after the founding of Equestria) and somehow, it attracted young fillies to the show, who called themselves "Homo sapiensisters." Twilight felt that MLH was not a good show for foals. "Oh come on Twilight, it's not that bad..." "'Not that bad'? Lyra, that show is garbage, and you know it!" "But it's an interesting conjecture! And YOU know it!" "Girls!" shouted Fancy Pants/Master Key, "look." The magic shield was surrounded by Daleks and Cyberponies. Twilight realized that they had to be careful. She also heard some conversation from the Daleks. "CARE-FUL. WE CAN-NOT EX-TEERR-MIN-ATE ALL GEN-ER-A-TION ONE OR GEN-ER-A-TION FOUR PONIES; WE A-GREED WITH THE CY-BER-PO-NIES TO DI-VIDE THEM BE-TWEEN OUR-SELVES: HALF FOR THE CY-BER-PO-NIES, AND HALF FOR THE FI-NAL EX-PER-I-MENT!!" Twilight was aware that there were essentially four generations of Ponyville, but that could not have been right; Generation One was the generation of Granny Smith's parents. Then she heard more that surprised her: "ALL PO-NIES I-DEN-TI-FIED WITH-IN SPHERE ARE GEN-ER-A-TION FOUR, SAVE ONE GEN-ER-ATION ONE SPE-CI-MEN I-DEN-TI-FIED AS TWI-LIGHT VEL-VET!. PRE-SERVE AS MA-NY AS YOU CAN!!" "I O-BEY!!" None of that could have been right either; Twilight's mother was the generation before her, not generation one, and they seemed to forget Cadence, who was young for a long period of time due to being an Alicorn, and very well might have been chronologically older than Twilight's parents, even though she was biologically younger than her own husband. "EX-TEERR-MIN-ATE ALL GEN-ER-A-TION THREE POINT FIVE PO-NIES! MIN-TY CHRIST-MAS PO-NIES DO NOT COUNT!!" "I O-BEY!" Twilight was well aware of "Generation 3.5"; it was "the Lovechild Generation", in more mild terms (Granny Smith called it "the Illegitamate Generation"). What happened was that a small group of sick stallions impregnated any mare between ages twelve and eighteen, resulting in foals that were almost young enough to be their mothers' sisters and brothers, so being dubbed "Generation 3.5". Due to the immaturity of their parents, they often had stupid names like "Toola Roola". The Generation Four Ponies that made up Twilight's social group like Pinkie and Rainbow Dash were the descendants of the Generation 3 Ponies who were smart enough to wait. But what the heck was a "Minty Christmas Pony"? Heck, what the heck was "Christmas"? And why was it minty? Twilight knew these were answers she could not stop pondering easily, but she knew this: The Daleks had to be stopped. They had to get out of the shielded area, which they could not do without Twilight lifting the spell, and they had to kill the Daleks, which also could not be achieved without Twilight taking the risk of lifting the shield. "I'm going to have to lift the shield. Whatever the Daleks are up to, it's not good. We're going to have to temporarily lift the shield and start fighting the Daleks; it's the only way to save Ponyville." "Yes, we know that." Blueblood said with a scoff, "but, do we have magnets on us?" "Umm..." Twilight realized: She hadn't thought of how they were going to mess up the Daleks' systems! "Uh...I didn't exactly..think of that." There were some hushed murmurs, but fortunately, these passed quickly when Sukhbataar (still covered in custard) spoke: "Remember that one rock that everypony could not move on until we cast off all of our metal gear? "You mean that big chunk of magnetite?" replied Twilight "But that was just a freak accident: It got hit by a bolt of lightning and got super-charged for a short time; it's not usually that powerful." "I know, but maybe, with their electric rays..." Sukhbataar began. "...We could turn that rock into a dangerous anti-Dalek weapon, charged by using the Daleks' own electric charges! Good thinking!" "But we should still go to Sugarcube Corner to get the Boron and thus disable the Dalek generators." reminded Shining Armor. "That is, if we can get past all of these Daleks" Hoity Toity said glumly. "Okay," Twilight began heavily, "here goes nothing!" And with that, the protective shield was lifted, and thus, there was now nothing separating her from the Daleks. "Attack!" Shouted Twilight. "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!!!" shouted the black Dalek. And the Cyber Controller yelled, "Delete!!" And so, the battle started. Blasts from the horns of Twilight, Cadence, Shining Armor, and Lyra took out many of the Daleks on the front lines. "GERONIMO!!!" and with that cry, a rainbow-colored streak destroyed a Dalek machine. The Daleks and Cyberponies immediately started firing to that direction, but the Rainbow streak was much to fast, and all of a sudden, there was a cry of "Allons-y!" and with that, Pinkie Pie's Party canon took out a whole squadron of Cyberponies. The Daleks then showered them with Electric ray blasts, which they all had to dodge or shield themselves from. Pinkie had already figured out a way to get them close. "Coooome heeeeeeeeeeeeere, Mister Dalek..." she said coyly. The Dalek shot a ray, but she disappeared out of sight. It turned, scanning the area, and then caught sight of her again, but she was much closer than last time. "Bet you can't get me!" The Dalek shot again, only with Pinkie to disappear. It scanned again, debris, debris, debris, Tenth Doctor's face, debris, debris... Wait, what? Pinkie/Tenth Doctor giggled and said: "'Allo, Chump! Happy Hanukkah!" As she said that, she stuck a Banana in the Dalek's Blast Gun, which was being charged to fire, but alas! You can't easily exterminate if there is a banana in your Blast Gun! The center of the Dalek exploded, and the Dalek inside died in the inferno. "Always bring a banana to a party!" grinned Pinkie Pie. Meanwhile, the powerful magic blasts of skilled mages Twilight, Shining, Cadence, and Lyra destroyed many of the surviving Dalek machines. Surviving Cyberponies tried to attempt close-range combat on Rarity and Octavia. Big Mistake. Rarity and Octavia stood on their hind legs, and then made a series of graceful kicks at the Cyberponies. "Hwiiyaahh! Hyah! Hai! Hah!" Several strikes later, Rarity was adjusting her mane, and all the Cyberponies collapsed behind her and Octavia. Dead. Spike could only stare agape. A Cyberpony was about to shoot Rarity, but then something pulled its head away from its initial target and into a Dalek, also trying to fire: They both unintentionally shot each other. Many of the Daleks flew up to pursue Rainbow Dash, but she flew up. And up. And up... ...And then flew down, resulting in a mid-air Sonic Rainboom that destroyed the Daleks that pursued her. Applejack used her lasso to keep the Cyberpony from shooting Rarity, whereas Lyra used her scarf to get a Dalek to shoot the Cyberpony. Now there were no Cyberponies there and only one Dalek left...being stared down by Fluttershy. "I- I- I CAN-NOT. DOC-TOR! SPARE ME!!" "Only if you go and tell the Daleks this" said Fluttershy with menace "The Doctor is now on the loose; all of her." You better muster your ilk and send them to get us, if they want to survive." "I UH- AH!!" The Dalek then flew away rather quickly. They all stared at her. "I'm sorry Twilight, but I had to: I have to get them to follow us to the Magnetite, and I have to get them away from the tree house-" "No, no, I know that...I just...forgot how menacing you could be...or how menacing the Fifth Doctor can be, for that matter." "Oh." "Hurry!" shouted Twilight "Before there are more of them!" "Why should we worry?" asked Rainbow Dash, "It was actually a piece of cake getting rid of them." "We already lost Twist, and we need to get rid of ALL of the monsters in Ponyville, which making the Daleks loos cannons is really the only way to do that efficiently." replied Twilight. They were wise to retreat, although the only casualty so far was Twist/Adric, which was not a problem since nopony likes Twist or Adric! But there was something there that they nearly missed, but saw: The remains of one of the Daleks. Pinkie approached it, for she heard a faint "exterminate" from it, and she used her toy sonic screwdriver on the dented chamber within the Dalek casing. Lyra also took a look at it: "That's strange, True Daleks are mutants in tanks, Imperial Daleks are cyborgs, but this one seems to be kind of...both..." There was a mutant chamber at the center of the Dalek, but there was also a separate brain and a mass of organs, but they did not seem to be part of the mutant, but rather, were connected to the mutant's chamber, perhaps to boost the mutants abilities. Surprisingly, Pinkie's Sonic Screwdriver worked, and the mutant chamber opened, revealing a monstrosity. "Oh my Celestia..." Twilight said. "Aww, it's cute!" said Rainbow Dash, which was a bit unusual for her to say such a thing. "We need to study it" said Twilight. But Applejack had a second opinion: "Sugarcube, thar's no tahme!" Applejack was right; the Daleks would return in far greater numbers. "Alright then; we're going to have to take this little bugger to Sugarcube corner with us, and once we get the Boron, we'll talk." With that, they tied the small chamber shut with Applejack's lasso, and carried it with them to Sugarcube Corner. ========== Trixie Lulamoon played with the controls to her TARDIS, when she heard the front door to the Golden Oaks Library open. "You're flying a TARDIS? I can help!" Peeking from around the door, a colt looked in awe at the Great and Powerful Trixie's costume: "Cool! You have the same outfit as me!" Trixie saw the colt's outfit and gasped in wonder: "You'r-you're...you're the great and powerful Sixth Doctor!" Indeed he was! Or at least, he wore the same outfit. His name was Button Mash. He wore a coat just like Trixie's, and it actually matched him better, since his own hairy coat was earthen, his mane orange, and his helicopter cap many colors. "But what are you doing here? There was a battle outside, did you not hear?" "I heard, but I didn't care! I'm the Doctor! I don't give a crap!" "Exactly!" proclaimed Trixie "Oh, you may be as Great and Powerful as the Sixth Doctor!" "Yeah!" replied Button Mash, "my mom likes the Sixth Doctor too; sometimes, she makes weird thrusting motions when she sees him on TV, and often says she has to go to the bathroom after looking at him hungrily!!" (Button's father was never really home...) "So did mine..." Trixie said with many joyful tears in her eyes. (Neither was Trixie's father...) ============ "RE-CENT MES-SAGE SENT FROM PO-NIES! THE DOC-TORS ARE LOOSE!!!!" "SHALL WE SUR-REN-DER??" "NAY! DA-LEKS CON-QUER AND DES-TROY!!!" That must have been something like a motivation speech for them, as they began chanting and raving as they departed the base they dwelt in, gliding in single file... "DA-LEKS CON-QUER AND DES-TROY!!! DA-LEKS CON-QUER AND DES-TROY!!!" ============= While trying to evade a potentially inappropriate conversation of the sort BOTH of her fathers would have forbidden her listening to, Scootaloo was also determined to help Rainbow Dash in any way she could. That was when she climbed out of the window, and then, as she was walking out of the house, she gasped as she felt her tail grabbed, but then sighed in relief: "Oh Rumble, it's just you." "Just me?" Rumble said with a snarky voice. "Listen Rumble, I know you want be back, but first of all, I can't let any of them go out there all alone, and... well... Button and Trixie were talking about inappropriate things I'm not supposed to listen to..." "Yeah, I heard that; gross, huh?" "I know, totally, but please, don't stop me-" "I'm not here to stop you." "Please- wait, what?" "I'm here to come with you!" "Thank you...I guess..." "You guess what, Scootaloo?" "Oh, well...it would be more comforting, I suppose, to go with a colt dressed as a knight..." "What, you mean this? It's a Roman Legionary costume. I'm not a Knight, but I am a soldier. What are you dressed as?" Rumble asked. "Me? I'm a police mare!" Scootaloo answered. "Well, that's two of us; people in authority, who are tough." "Haha, yeah, nothing can stop us!" But Scootaloo was proven wrong when they saw battalions of Daleks roll onto the battleground, and they seemed to stand still, just scanning. ============= Seeing an open window, two figures more short and stout than what is normal for Ponies climbed into the house... ....And they weren't foals... ============== Trixie and Button were fiddling with the buttons and the levers in the TARDIS consol. Then, they heard a grating sound that was unusually beautiful for a grating sound. Button squealed "Umm, Trixie...is that supposed to happen??!" Trixie could say nothing; she knew that sound well and knew what it meant. All she could do was stand in shock... =============== The Closing theme to today's episode! Youtube Video The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 4: The Paths DivergeThe Theme to today's episode Youtube Video ============== "I have to go back" Twilight suddenly remembered. "I should put the shield back up." "I'll go with you!" shouted Rainbow Dash "Good! Bring Fluttershy too! And remember teams! Stick with your Doctors!" "I'll take care of the rest, leave it to me Twi!" said Lyra. "Okay Lyra, but remember, go straight to Sugarcube corner, get the Boron, and examine that thing!" "Aye aye, Twilight!" ============== "Let's just- let's just go back." Scootaloo wimpered, seeing the Daleks patrol the area. "I agree Scootaloo; but we must be very quiet." But before they made it back to the Library, they heard a whooshing grate sound, that repeated itself until the tree house slowly began to fade out of view. Rumble sat agape at the change. Tears of sheer terror welled up in Scootaloo's eyes. Then, before they could even fully process all of this, several small but powerful lights focused on them: "STAY WHERE YOU ARE, OR YOU WILL BE EX-TEEERRR-MIN-A-TED!!!!" ============== Twilight, Rainbow, Fluttershy, and their respective teams then ran to where they started...but then they heard a sound that they knew very, very well: "VWOOOOORP! VWOOOOOORP! VWOOOOOOORP!" Twilight knew that sound anywhere, so she went straight to her house- Or at least, where Twilight's house used to be. "MY CELESTIA...MY HOUSE....." "Did it blow up?" Spike asked somewhat stupidly. "NO! I think it was a-a-a-" "A TARDIS" Fluttershy finished "it was a TARDIS." Spitfire asked "Well, what does that mean?" "That mean that it could be anywhere! Anywhere in time and space!" shouted Twilight. But they all fell silent when they heard talking: "WOULD YOU LIKE A JEL-LY BA-BY?" "DAAGH! DA-LEK G-5-6-M-9-2, YOU FRIGHT-ENED ME!!" "WHY? ARE YOU A-FRAID THAT THE DOC-TOR WILL STRAN-GLE YOU WITH HIS BOW TIE?!" "NO! A DA-LEK IS NE-VER A-FRAID!" "YOU SAID I FRIGHT-ENED YOU!" then it began a chanting taunt: "YOU'RE SCARED OF THE DOC-TOR! YOU'RE SCARED OF THE DOC-TOR!" But then another cry shot out: "Git out munsteh! Dis Fwuffy wand now!" "WHAT IS YOUR SPE-CIES?" "Fwuffy! Dat's wut! Now weave or git biggestest owwies!" Then the Dalek scanned the hairy beast "BUT YOU ARE UN-ARMED! YOU HAVE NO WEA-PONS! NO PLAN!!" "Fwuffies are da gweatest animaws dare eveh was!" that voice got many other cheering with it. "Now leaf or git biggest owwies!" Twilight knew the other speech pattern to be that of a Fluffy Pony. They were the only creature as bigoted as a Dalek. Fluffy Ponies were the distant cousins of Equestria Ponies, but somewhere along the lines they became quite different. They were once abused by the Ponies, but laws were recently made to protect Fluffy Ponies and isolate them for the other Ponies. Though treated far better, Fluffies were still a highly xenophobic people. "IF YOU CON-TIN-UE TO THREAT-EN US, THEN YOU WILL LEAVE US NO CHOICE BUT TO EX-TERRR-MIN-ATE YOU!" It was then that Twilight peeked around the corner of the building she pressed herself against, and there she saw them: two groups of creatures, one group composed of Daleks, and the other composed of Fluffy Ponies. Their leaders had departed from their groups and were staring each other down, the "Smarty Friend" leader of the Fluffies puffing his cheeks out in front of the Dalek, which implied perhaps that the Dalek's condiment dispenser appearance prevented the Smarty from taking it seriously. "We have to do something!" shouted Rainbow Dash. But this remark from Fluttershy shocked them all: "I say, let the Daleks kill them." "Bu-but Fluttershy-" "Forget it Rainbow; have you even met a Fluffy Pony? They're the most evil creatures that ever lived!" "Fluffle Puff is nice!" "Yes, but she's not the same kind of Fluffy Pony as the ones I'm talking about. Fluffle Puff is a Fluffle; a rare, highly peaceful, and highly intelligent creature that never utters a word. What I'm talking about is a Fluffy, a stupid, greedy, selfish, gabby, belligerent, idiotic-" Before Fluttershy could finish, Rainbow blazed right past her. "EEEX-TEEEERRRR-MIIINNN-AAATEE" the Dalek began, but it was smashed to pieces and goo by Rainbow Dash. The other Daleks all backed up when they saw their leader destroyed. Rainbow Dash then shouted at them "The rest of you interested in sharing the same fate?!!" The Daleks then all looked at each other, and slowly backed away. "Thought so....B'aww, look at these little guys, why would you hate them so much Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked, now shifting her head from the Daleks to the Fluffy Ponies. "Because Rainbow, they try to hump my chickens and kill my rabbits! Or at least, they try to..." "Fluttershy" Twilight Sparkle began, "sparing a creature that is totally evil but almost totally helpless is what the Doctor does every episode; can you look at Ponykind and see us as being so wonderful? You yourself said that many critters are better than ponies by a good margin, and frankly, nopony here is arguing with that (unless you cite Angel Bunny; he's a dick)." Fluttershy looked away, not sure what to make of it, except that she now felt ashamed. Rainbow Dash did not see her shame, and so had less kind words: "Okay girl, listen, you know what monster goes around saying it's okay to kill something because it's hard to like? Do you really know! I'll give you a hint! 'EX-TEEERRR-MIN-ATE!!!!'" Fluttershy realized the comparison, and ran away crying. "That's enough out of you, Rainbow!" shouted Twilight. Rainbow Dash, fustrated, then flew away, with Spitfire at her tail. Twilight Sparkle then followed Fluttershy, who was curled in a ball, sobbing heavily. "Fluttershy...Rainbow-" "No Twilight, she's right; I let my hatred for Fluffy Ponies make me like a...like a..." but Twilight put a firm hoof on her mouth. "Fluttershy...I understand your hate, because, my family came from a country that offered us nothing but superstition." Fluttershy then looked at Twilight intently. With a sigh, Twilight began: "My parents come from Kathiawaria, a land divided by castes; they were in the lowest caste, the 'Untouchables'. They took up a new religion, the religion of Princess Celestia, which preached equality regardless of birth. Some extremist groups of higher castes didn't like this new thought to spread, and so...they did an extermination." Fluttershy's eyes widened at this. Twiligth continued: "They realized they couldn't remain there much longer, so they traveled with the Missionaries to Equestria, where they lived without fear of prejudice. You see...I used to hate Kathiawarians when I learned about this, but then, my parents told me I was as bad as them to reek with so much hatred. Your explanations to hatred of Fluffy Ponies made sense, and you know it's wrong to hate, so that's good. Now tell me: Are you a Doctor?" "I- I'm a Doctor!" "That's the spirit!" ======================= Scootaloo heard a good deal of talking, and shouting, some of which sounded like Pony voices. But she couldn't investigate, because the Daleks had their blast guns trained on them. They stood still there for a couple minutes, leaving Scootaloo to wonder why they didn't fire; but she was scared to ask, out of fear of being killed if she did. Two blazing paths went right past the Dalek, which both completely scorched it. The paths ended to reveal Spitfire and Rainbow Dash, and Rainbow had a lot to say to Scootaloo: "WHAT DID TWILIGHT TELL YOU?! DIDN'T SHE SAY TO STAY IN THE LIBRARY??!" Scootaloo fell silent, and then began to cry. Rumble decided to say something in her defense: "Well, um, it wasn't her fault! Um...it was mine! Yeah, it was all my idea! Scootaloo tried to protest, but-" Scootaloo was touched by Rumble's attempt to take all the blame, but she couldn't let him do it. "No, no, I ran out because I heard the battle outside, and I- I hoped that Rainbow Dash would be okay." Rainbow was surprised to hear this, and she took it well: "Kid...I can always take care of myself. You don't need to look after me. And if I do get killed, well...it was probably nature at work; I'm a Darwin Award waiting to happen." Scootaloo giggled at this, and then hugged Rainbow Dash. "Oh, Mom- uh, sorry, Rainbow-" Rainbow was flabbergasted to hear that bit; but then again, "Little Red" Corvette was a really suck-y mother, never really at home even though she had custody over Scootaloo (Sukhbataar, and to a lesser extent, Harley, were there for Scootaloo much more often), and when she was home, she was copulating with some Stallion she picked up. It was no wonder both Scootaloo and her top two most likely candidates for her father both preferred Rainbow Dash: Rainbow Dash was no Saint, but Corvette was totally evil, rotten to the core. "Shh, Scootaloo, you don't need to say anything" Rainbow said, before hugging Scootaloo back. "Hey Scoots, since there's no library to get back to, why don't you and your little boyfriend come with us? You can be Loose Lips and Naive Nut!" (Pony names for Amy Pond and Rory Williams) Rumble couldn't say anything due to being enlikened to a possible special somepony for Scootaloo, but Scootaloo had more than enough to say: "Okay! And then I could blow up lots of cool stuff in lots of cool ways! And I can..." "Scootaloo." Rainbow Dash said simply, but Scootaloo continued. "...reverse the polarity! And Oh! I can carry things for you! And then..." "Scootaloo..." "...earwax! Earwax everywhere!" And then all the khaki pants can..." "Scootaloo!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed gently "'Yes' would have done perfectly fine kiddo." "Okay, thanks Dashie!" "Rainbow, I have something to tell you" said Twilight. "I'm sorry about what I said earlier, but...Now is not a good time!" Exclaimed Rainbow. "Rainbow, it's about your tastes..." "I know, I know, I bet you think I'm a freak-" "No, quite the opposite actually" "Yeah, well, screw you Twi- wait, what?" "I like older stallions too!" "SHUT UP!!" "I'm not Horseappling you Rainbow Dash, I speak the truth; Tough Cookie and Dramatic Darkness were two of the sexiest Doctors ever! Anyway, I always found younger stallions to be very controlling and insecure; older stallions don't really care if you've got an education or mad skills or something; they've made it, so they don't try to hold you back to feel better." (Sukhbataar and Meadow Song now got wingboners at Twilight Sparkle) "Oh, and by the way, I believe Fluttershy has something to tell you:" "Hi Rainbow Dash...umm, yeah...I'm sorry...and...I-I" "She also likes older stallions." The apology and the confession got Rainbow Dash to spontaneously hug Fluttershy very tightly. Blossomforth was a bit touched by this. But the moment was disturbed by one rather brave Dalek: "EX-TER-MIN-AAUUGGHHH!!!" Standing proudly over the remains of the Dalek, Iron Will declared "Iron Mel is always ready!" "Thank you Iron Will!" shouted Twilight, and she gave him a big hug. Iron Will was quite surprised at the gesture, but his expression of shock turned into a small, 'aw shucks' type of smile. ============== Trixie looked at a screen on the TARDIS, and heard some kind of alarm sounding. "What's that noise?!?" shouted Button Mash. Trixie gave no answer, scanning everything very quickly, and very nervously. Button was very annoyed by this: "Some answer that was." Harley, who was taking care of the refugees, burst in the room, and so did many refugees: "What's going on!? What's happening?!!" "The Great and Pow- I...I...don't...know." However, one Pony came in with a scorched mane, a tiny flame still alive on it. "Butterscotch!" Shouted Button Mash "What happened to you." "Well, apparently, the talking baked potatoes want to talk to the Doctor." Trixie gasped at this. She knew what Butterscotch was referring to. "No- no! It cannot be! Sontarans. The most efficient warriors known save for the Daleks. "Yeah, they mentioned something about a bomb, I can't remember-" Trixie stopped listening entirely when she heard that bit. She was troubled. If the TARDIS exploded, the Universe would be destroyed: She learned that from watching an episode featuring an inferior Doctor. ============= Two Cyberponies that were on their way to Sugarcube Corner to stop the "Doctors", but before they could break down the door, something else broke above them.... ....examining the remains of the Cyberponies, Derpy, looking at the remains of the piano used to smash them, smiled broadly and was sure that they just didn't know what went wrong! Thanks to Derpy, they made it to Sugarcube Corner safely. "Okay little guy, let's see you." The chamber was opened, and the Dalek mutant was revealed: It was hideous: However, it did not fully resemble the mutants on the show. It looked more like a brain with long fingers. The thing squirmed as it was removed from its chamber...but noise it made not, and it occurred to Lyra that the beast lacked vocal chords. She could see, however, why it had so many tubes with organs from other animals attached to it: The Dalek mutant itself lacked anything except for basically a head and hands, so to supply it with Oxygen and nutrition must have required stealing body parts from other animals and integrating them into the casing- but that meant... Lyra shouted "This guy need something to breathe with- quickly!" They all looked everywhere, but they found nothing! "Oh, you are beautiful..." Pinkie Pie said with more seriousness than was thought possible "but how come you are so unlike any other Dalek I've ever encountered; you're a cross between a normal Dalek and an Imperial Dalek." Indeed it was correct, the monster was a separate mutant, like a normal Dalek, but apparently in symbiotic relationship with the tattered remains of its casing, which had many organic components, such as it's own brain and organs, that apparently also had tubes connected to the Dalek mutant. Essentially, these Daleks were two separate living Organisms: a mutant, and a cyborg, living in symbiosis with one another. tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap, went the mutant's fingers, and Lyra wondered if there was some meaning to that... =========== Closing theme for today's episode: Youtube Video The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 5: A Dirge in the MakingThe theme to today's episode! Youtube Video ============== Lyra sat down, unsure of what to make of it: The Mutant within a Cyborg, the tapping of the fingers.... She saw so much classic Whooves, but she did not remember that. Maybe it was something of the new series that flew over her head, as she watched most of her Doctor Whooves on PBS. But what? ===================== Meadow Song trotted really close to Rainbow Dash "That was very sweet of you...you know, you and Scootaloo..." "Aw, it was nothin'!" replied Rainbow Dash. Rainbow then got a wingboner and a blush when she felt lips touch her cheek! "Come by some time." she heard his voice state. =========== Meanwhile, Derpy went to the Sugarcube Corner kitchen to make some muffins, followed by Carrot Top. Just as she needed eggs, a Dalek burst in! "YOU WILL FREEZE!" Carrot Top obeyed, but Derpy kept scanning the kitchen looking for an egg-whisk, seemingly unaware. The Dalek was surprised at this, and slowly glided to where Derpy stood: "DO YOU HEAR ME? YOU WILL-" but before it could finish, Derpy stood up, facing the Dalek. The Dalek examined her and realized "YOU ARE A DOC-TOR!!" "Hello Mister Dalek!" Derpy said innocently. The Dalek seemed to nervously fiddle with its Blast Gun, probably too scared to handle it properly. Derpy noticed the blast gun twitching and plucked it from the Dalek's main casing. "Thank you Mister Dalek! I needed an egg whisk!" "WHAT??! NO!!! YOU IN-SULT THE DA-LEKS!!!!" But the Dalek's desparate and perhaps somewhat sad shouts were treated as though unheard as Derpy happily continued to stir away without any care for the world. But now there were eggshells everywhere! Where to put them? There was no trash can anywhere in sight, but there was a small bathroom. She then put the eggshells in the toilet, and tried to flush it, but alas! Little progress was made, for it was terribly clogged, due to how hard the feces of the Cakes and Pinkie were from eating too many carbohydrates. Then Derpy had to unclog the toilet "If only I had something, like a..." but then she found exactly what she wanted on the Dalek that was charging angrily at her. "Thanks again Mister Dalek! You really are too generous!" The Dalek was further humiliated when its high-pressure vacuum suction cup was plucked from its body and then used to removes clots of the feces of inferior life-forms! After unclogging the toilet, Derpy then was able to flush the eggshells down, and resumed making muffins. ===================== A thing that looks like an Outhouse in the middle of a Junkyard....and it could travel anywhere in time and space....... and within it, there was a very frightened and confused Trixie. Trixie was fiddling with all the switches, and so far, she didn't seem to be doing much, except for...wait...Trixie pressed a button that sprayed something at the corridors. Trixie decided to play with more switched and button like it.... ========== Twilight, Fluttershy, and their teams were charging to where Rainbow Dash, her team, and Spitfire stood: "Look out!" Blossomforth shouted. Rainbow Dash turned around and saw a Dalek towering over them, its blast gun aimed at her. But Spike had a trick up his sleeve: He tossed a flask filled with an explosive chemical at the Dalek and though it didn't damage it much, something scorched was jettisoned from the center. Spike almost vomited when he saw the dead Kaled mutant. Twilight was surprised to see the Dalek Cyborg still operating without the Kaled mutant. And it began to talk... "WHY DID YOU REMOVE THE MAS-TER WITH-IN??" Twilight knew immediately it had to be referring to the Kaled Mutant. The Dalek Cyborg, now deprived of Kaled Mutant, seemed rather nervous: "MY MAS-TER IS GONE! WHO WILL I O-BEY? WHO WILL I O-BEEEEYYY?!" "You can obey me." spat Twilight. "And begin with this: why are you here? What do the Daleks want?" "THE MAS-TERS WITH-IN IN-TEND TO EX-TEERR-MIN-ATE ALL PO-NIES THAT THE AU-THOR WISHES TO EX-TER-MIN-AAATE!" Twilight was troubled at another reference to "The Author." If only Pinkie Pie or Lyra were present, there might be an explanation, because now Twilight would believe anything in a night where Daleks invaded Ponyville and her house was a TARDIS. "Twilight...if the Cyborg can function on its own without the mutant in it...how come it the Daleks aren't just a cyborg race with no mutants inside?" This observation by Fluttershy was a most impeccable one. Twilight was not sure, but she suddenly had a good idea. "Excuse me...how do you feel?" The Cyborg was silent for a while, but then it answered "A-FRAID..." Twilight immediately got a clue for what was the point of a separate mutant. But Cyborgs are organisms with organic parts, so it's existence begged the question: Where did the Dalek Cyborgs come from? "Who were you before this transformation?" "NO-PO-NY; I WAS MAN-U-FAC-TURED FROM EM-BRY-OS-" "Hold the phone!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash. "THE STEM-CELLS WERE HAR-VES-TED, AND THEN DIS-PERSED THROUGH-OUT THE MECHAN-I-CAL BO-DY; ALL MY PARTS WERE ARRANGED TO SERVE THE MAS-TER WITH-IN!!" Twilight then realized that perhaps the Dalek Cyborgs, were, in some ways, more Pony than the mutants were, in spite of the fact that the Cyborgs were not entirely organic; the Cyborg's organic components likely had a less altered genetic structure than that of the Mutants; by observing destroyed Dalek remains, Twilight gathered that the Cyborg had a brain at the top of it's head that looked like that of a typical Pony, and a mass of organs much lower in the body that also looked similar to that of ordinary Ponies. "But you don't need the Kaled Mutant to function; it needs you. Why is it the one in authority over you? Why not just reject it?" "BE-CAUSE....IT HAS ONE STRENGTH O-VER ITS VES-SEL." "And what strength is that; it can't even strategize without you!" "IT HAS NO FEAR; NO RE-MORSE; NO GUILT; THE VES-SEL HAS ALL OF THESE WEAK-NESS-ES, AND THE MAS-TER COM-MANDS THE VES-SEL, SO THAT THE VES-SEL DOES NOT GIVE IN TO THESE FAULTS!!" Then it all made sense to Twilight; the Mutant had no pity or remorse, but for some reason the cyborg did, posibbly due to the less altered genetic structure; the mutant's will always overridden the Cyborg's own, but the mutant could not fight really, it was weak and useless! So they had a Cyborg to turn the Mutant's formless rage into a sophisticated plan. "But you have your own brain!" shrieked Fluttershy. "You're not a vessel! You're your own Pony!" Twilight realized something: She couldn't let her friends use Boron on the Daleks; it would surely kill the cyborgs as well as the mutants! "We stayed too long; we have to join the others. Now." ========== A metal hand clicked on a control consol several times, slowly but with subtle impatience at her Fluffy ally. "Fwuffs awweady awe da stwongest cweatuwes!" The bearer of the hand replied, in a damaged but electronically enhanced voice: "Strong in the sense that you have no regret, remorse, or desire to change, but your mental and physical limits hamper you from being the Gods that you can be. This Cyborg vessel shall be a slave to carry out your destructive will. You will provide it with all the hate and rage you need to be the dominant species, and the Cyborg shall use its mind and body to carry out your will. It can kill, it can survive, and it can plan, but is cursed with-" he said with a sniff "-sentiment. Your will will always override its own. With your mechanically organic slave, you shall get no more 'owwies' as you call them; you will have no fear of drowning, you will be invincible!" she added with more energy and passion. "Yay! No More Boo-Boos?" "Uhhh...yes, no more...'Boo-Boos'." "And will Fwuff git wotsa skettis?" "Yes, plenty of blood, screams, CRIES OF ANGUISH!!! ...and yes, some spaghetti as well, I suppose." "YAY!! Tank yu daddeh!" "No need to thank me; I thank you for being the perfect, unsentimental organism. Previously, I had to mutate species to absolutely nothing in order to make them loose all of their 'love' and 'friendship'; but I see now I did not need to mutate anything; I just needed to find you, the perfect, hateful organism." A mechaincal pincher then lifted the Fluffy Pony from the ground and into the Dalek Cyborg. It was then placed in a chamber. With a cap for administering its thoughts and feelings to that of the Cyborg. "Excellent!" the one with the mechanical hand and damaged voice purred "Now, try to think of some words you know, without saying them aloud." The Fluffy Pony then was obviously trying very hard to think, its brow furrowing, its face turning red, steam emerging from its ears, and blood dripping out of its nose; but in the end, it managed to send a message that the Dalek Cyborg could translate: "DI....AR...RHE.....A..." "On second thought, perhaps you shouldn't; maybe you should just talk and the machine translates at the same time." "Yu mean wike dis?" "YOU MEAN LIKE THIS??" the Fluffy and the cyborg said simultaneously. "Excellent! That is far better!" "Fwuff haf weally bad poopies dis mornin'" "I HAD DI-AR-RHE-A THIS MORNING!!" they said almost at the exact same time. "Okay, we need to talk; don't talk about 'bad poopies', it will keep your enemies from taking you seriously." "But all Fwuff can tink abou' is bad poopies..." "BUT ALL I CAN THINK A-BOUT IS DI-AR-RHE-A!!!" "If you cannot stop talking about it, I shall have to use the sorry stick..." "Nuu! Not the Sowwy Stick!" "NO! NOT THE BROOM HAN-DLE!!" The bearer of the mechanical hand sighed the sigh of a damaged voice; a Dalek that was afraid of broom handles? That would have to be adjusted; "Please, do not mention the Sorry Stick in combat...That will also prevent your enemies from taking you seriously. Now remind me...what is your true purpose?" "To gif all da meanie munstuhs da biggestest of owwies!" "TO EX-TEERR-MIN-ATE ALL ENEMIES OF THE DA-LEKS!" "Good!", then, beginning to talk to herself, she said "Soon, my dear Daleks, you will pay the price for defying your creator; you rejected my will and my words, but now, in the form of Fluffy Ponies, a new type of Dalek shall unleash my fury for your insubordination....I bring you, the BIONIC REMORSELESS FLUFFY PONY IMPERIAL DALEK or as a shorter name for it, THE BRONY!!!!!!" she added, shaking her hand as she did so. "MOTH-ER..." Yes, my child?" "WILL YOU BRING ME SPA-GHET-TI??" Chysalis, now with the mechanical hand, scarred visage, single electronic eye, and chariot of Davros, facepalmed and sighed...this was going to take a lot of work. "Um, yes...but only after you wipe out all of the Daleks that disobeyed me!" Sulkily, it lowered it's eye stalk, said "O-KAY..." and slowly glided away. ========== A lone pony sat in the spa, watching a television program: "The Situation is we've got a crime, and that crime is how good-looking my situation is over here; ain't that right ladies?" Then, a Cyberpony walked into the same room: "What is that. you are watching." "It seems to be a rather interesting extraterrestrial life-form." "Scans detect. Terrestrial. 'Reality' Show. Jersey Stable." "Oh," the Sombra, dressed as and thinking he was the Master sighed, and then he turned the television off. "So, what bad news do you have for me now?" "The Doctors. Are approaching." "Oh...well, that's good." "Good? It's fantastic!" Shouted Discord, also dressed as the Master. ================ The closing theme to today's episode! Youtube Video The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 6: The Pace QuickensThe Opening Theme to Today's Episode; Special Veteran's Day/Remembrance Day Edition: Youtube Video ======================== Pinkie Pie shouted: "Found the Boron! It was in my sock drawer!" "FAAAAANTASTIC!" Applejack cried out happily. "A Dalek mutant that can't survive on its own" Lyra mused at the dead mutant. "Those machines must provide them so much...but how? It's kind of a brain with fingers; you can't feed a brain without a body..." "Well, why don't we ask a Dalek?" "Don't be silly Derpy." "Oh, I guess I'm going to have to send Mister Dalek away." Derpy said sadly "And he was so generous too!" "Wait...what?" asked Rarity. "Yeah! Mister Dalek! He helped me make muffins! Come on out Mister Dalek! It's time for your breakfast!" 'Mister Dalek' then glided, with the eystalk hanging down, as if in shame: "I AM AN E-MAS-CU-LA-TED DAAA-LEK!" "Isn't he cute? Let's name him Dalek Fred!" "THE MAS-TER WITH-IN DOES NOT DE-SIRE NAMES! HE WANTS EX-TEERR-MIN-A-TION!!" "Master within?" asked Cadence. "THE UL-TI-MATE LIFE FORM, THAT COM-PLETES DAAA-LEK ES-SENCE; BUT ITS BEAU-TY IS DEL-I-CATE, AND MUST BE PRO-TEC-TED!!" "You mean the Kaled mutants? I thought that it's the mutant speaking." "I BLAS-PHEMED E-NOUGH AS IT IS; MY VOICE SOLE-LY BE-LONGS TO THE MAS-TER WITH-IN!! I AM NO-THING!!" "What are you doing here, what do you want?" "I WOULD RATH-ER DIE THAN TELL YOU A-NY-THING!" "Fine then" Lyra replied, "Go to your tin-can masters, tell them that the Doctors deprived you of your weaponry...and...what did you do with its appendages Derpy?" "Oh! I used the egg-whisk and toilet plunger, to, umm, whisk eggs and plunge toilets!" Lyra burst out laughing. The Dalek lowered its eyestalk in shame. Then, the sound of a train pulling in echoed throughout Ponyville: "Applejack, Rarity, go investigate that, and bring your companions with you!" Lyra ordered "we need the Third and Ninth Doctors to see them safely. When you can, report back to me, and we'll leave to go to the Magnetite patch." They rushed out, with their companions in tow. The Dalek, however, decided to send a silent message over the Dalek Pathweb... ============ A train pulled in, full of U.N.I.T. soldiers. And Applejack and Rarity were there to greet them. "Why hello, Darlings!" "Howdy y'all!" They meant to be yelling at them to run away, but female hormones at these big, muscular stallions in uniform kicked in. "So, what's the problem?" "We're single virgins, that's what's wrong, Darling." "....wut..." "What? Oh, sorry, meant that there are aliens everywhere" (indeed she did mean to say that, but her hormones decided to first inform that she never had any serious mates in her life) "Yes, we know, we were informed that." "By who?" asked Shining Armor. "Don't worry, it was all me, I took care of everything!" a familiar voice said. Then, Discord materialized out of nowhere, dressed in a nice suit. "Discord!" Applejack exclaimed, "What in tarnation-" "Oh sh, sh, sh, sh," Discord said, placing a firm finger over Applejack's mouth. "I saw all the chaos, death, and destruction, and well, I wanted to help out! I wanted to make things better, so I called U.N.I.T over here to save the day!" "Couldn't you just use yer powers to help out?" Applejack asked. "But Princess Celestia forbade me from doing so, so I had to be a good boy, and call U.N.I.T. over here!" "I'll go back and report to Lyra; you stay guard over the train station." "Alright, Sugarcube! You can count on me!" "I'll bring the officers to the abandoned City Hall to form a great strategy!" ============ When Lyra got the news, she was pleased: "Problem is, is that bullets don't work on some of these creatures, but we could use every helping hoof we can get. Let's go! We'll make it to magnetite patch, and wipe the Daleks clean of their memories!" The disarmed Dalek, now hiding in a corner, was pleased to see his plans enact: The Daleks he summoned then burst in through the back door, and swept the baking room by storm, bringing the Cyberponies and also new allies with them: The Voord. Luckily, Derpy was prepared: She turned to the Cakes and to Carrot Top, and shouted: "Muffins!" And true to her previous word, when she said muffins...muffins. The blasts from the Daleks, Cyberponies, and Voord completely destroyed the oven, which was simply stuffed with muffins by Derpy. The resulting muffen-flood created at tremendous muffin-wall, safeguarding the Ponies on the other side. "Muffins" Derpy said with a smile. She planned that to happen. "Wow" Lyra said "we can leave safely; guess Derpy is the Second Doctor after all." ============ "You know, you need a name" Fluttershy began "...How about...Angelica?" (she was quite missing Angel Bunny) "AN-GEL-I-CA? WHAT IS THE MEAN-ING OF THIS NAME?!" Fluttershy apologized "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-" "NO NEED TO A-PO-LO-GIZE; I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE MEAN-ING OF THIS NAME!" "Oh, well, it implies that you're Angelic; you know, like a guardian angel of a sort." Twilight explained. "OHH...I AM NOT A PRO-TEC-TOR! I AM A SWORD!" "But you housed that Kaled Mutant in your body! You protected him!" Rainbow argued. "THE MAS-TER WITH-IN PRO-TECTS ME FROM SEN-TI-MENT!!!" "It's a raw deal!" Rainbow Dash roared "You do all the work and take all the damage, and your Kaled Mutant controls you and makes you feel nothing but hatred!" "I AM AN IN-FER-I-OR BE-ING! I CAN LOVE AND HOPE AND DREAM!! ALL OF THESE ARE MEAN-ING-LESS!! ALL THAT MAT-TERS IS THE SU-PRE-MA-CY OF THE DAAAA-LEKS!!!" Twilight asked "Who is the Dalek: You, or the Master within?" "I-I...I DO NOT KNOW. I SUP-POSE TO-GETH-ER WE MAKE THE DAAA-LEK." "But you're separate creatures; how about you write your own destinies?" Fluttershy suggested. "THE DA-LEKS MUST SUR-VIVE!" "Of course they should." Fluttershy said softly. "But they should not be a slave race to heartless monsters." "IF YOU WILL NOT STOP TEMP-TING ME, THEN I MUST DIIIIEEEEE! EX-TER-MIN-AAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!" The Dalek Cyborg's round orbs then departed from its body, and surrounded it, as it killed itself. "Way to go, Fluttershy- ow!" Twilight hit Rainbow Dash really hard on the head. "Didn't you hear those words though? Tempted; that means the Cyborg wants more out of life than to kill, but it's been brainwashed to think that constant murder and sacrifice is what it takes to be clean, kind of like what the Medieval Ponies used to think. We have to get out of here, and tell all the others about this!" Twilight lectured. ============= As they walked to Sugarcube Corner to warn the others, Sukh sighed deeply. "I just hope Mom is alright. She has the biggest team here, but- I don't know." Sukhbataar began. Rainbow replied "Yeah, I'm worried about mine too- wait what? But Nopony here could possibly be your mom...except..Octavia?" He chuckled. "No, no, I mean Cadence." "HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!" "Well, she became an Alicorn when she was a child, and stayed that way for a long time; my earliest memories of her...she actually looked pre-adolescent back then, but I didn't know that and just called her "Mommy", and thought she was a big Pony, so that was good enough for me; but all those years of being alive, she had the wisdom and warmth only a truly mature mother could have. It's- It's kind of awkward when 'Dad' is actually a bit younger than you, and 'Auntie' Twilight Sparkle appears to fancy you partly on the premises that you're not biologically related and the psycological relationship is a loose one, but that's the Alicorn family, I suppose; the downsides of extended youth." "THE SLUT! WHEN SHINING ARMOR FINDS OUT-" Rainbow Dash began to yell, but she was cut off. "No, I'm sort of...well...I'm adopted." There was silence. "Przewalskia was taken over decades ago by the Daleks, sorry Cyberponies, er, I mean, Budennies, back when the Budenny country was known as the Hoviet Union. They're both free countries now, but when I was little, it was a dangerous place to live in. The Hoviets wanted to exterminate all threats to the government, and I guess my parents were considered threats. They smuggled me away with other little foals to Equestria, and well, Cadence found me, and with Celestia's permission, she raised me in her mansion, with a lot of help from the staff there." "So, you're the older guy Twilight likes...I take it?" "Probably." Rainbow felt bitterly jealous: "How does it feel to have her admiration?" "To be honest..." he said with a small smile "I love how she adores me...but..." "Her being an adoptive Aunt makes it weird?" "Yeah...the fact my mom married her brother, who is not only a bit younger than me but is also really irritating, is bad enough." "Oh, so you met Shining?" "Yes, the Corndog guy." "Don't like him?" "Hardly." "Why?" "I don't know...he's just, he's kind of smarmy, I guess, like...like...." "Like Harley?" Rainbow whispered, as to not concern Scootaloo. "Yeah." "You don't like him either?" Rainbow Dash actually liked Harley (not as much as she liked Sukhbataar though), and suspected that Sukh's judgement was more related to family... "Listen, I don't want to talk about this. We're almost at Sugarcube Corner." But he opened the door, and it was dark and destroyed: There was nopony inside it. "Stay here" Twilight said. "I'll look for the rest." ============ Two stray Ponies, Berry Bright and Morning Glory, ran to the Train Station, as the entryway was decked by stairs. They assumed that would keep them safe. They were wrong. The Dalek levitated over the stairs, and landed on the platform, then did a DNA lock on both of its targets: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!" If you cannot guess what happened to them, you're stupid. A second train pulled in, also filled with U.N.I.T. soldiers. But this time, there was a Dalek to greet them. "EX-TEER-MIN-ATE!" A blast eminated from the Dalek Blast Gun, and one electron blast derailed the train, causing many deaths and even an explosion at the engine. Applejack, however, caught sight of this: "Open fire!" she shouted. The machine guns of U.N.I.T. troops released their contents, but to know avail to the Dalek. "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" And it shot "Whah dontcha jus' DAH!!!" The Dalek was silent for a moment...then it spoke "YOU WOULD MAKE A GOOD DA-LEK." This made Applejack furious. "Raauggh!" Then she heard almost simultaneous "EX-TER-MIN-ATE"s eminate from different directions: She was too angry to care if she got hurt. But before she could strike at the dark Dalek, hit it, and it wasn't from her sonic screwdriver. She turned, and saw another Dalek standing there, all alone; she guessed that was the one where the second "EX-TER-MIN-ATE" hailed from. But it didn't look like the Dalek she was fighting: The Dalek Applejack was fighting, and all the other Daleks she saw that night, were mostly black with varying shades of blue and green for the highlights, not unlike the Changelings. This Dalek, however, was different; this Dalek was white and gold in coloring. She hadn't watched the classic series, so she didn't recognize the significance of the coloring. Then a U.N.I.T. private approached the Dalek and said "I thank you kindly for your assitance; would you like to help us-" The new Dalek, however, would have none of that. "HELP YOU?? YOU ARE AN IN-FER-I-OR CREA-TURE!! YOU MUST LEAVE THE PRE-MI-SES, YOU ARE ON DAA-LEK TER-RI-TOR-Y!! DE-PART OR BE EX-TEERR-MIN-A-TED!!" Applejack recognized that threat and that reason behind that threat, but not from Daleks; to threaten death because you are on territory that was claimed by the belligerent party...now, where did she hear that kind of talk before? "If you will not be reasoned with-" the private began. The Dalek then shot him without a warning. Then all the guns of the soldiers cocked. ============= Rarity was went to the spa to get the Boron powder installed in the vents when she was the Daleks come in. Twilight Sparkle managed to catch up to her: "Rarity!" "Oh, Twilight! I have wonderful news! U.N.I.T. is here, the Boron is ready to be installed, the others are finding the magnetite patch, things couldn't be better!" "But that's the thing Rarity! We can't use the Boron on the Daleks! We don't just kill the Kaled Mutants; the travel machines are also living creatures, they're Cyborgs with hearts, same as you and me. The Mutant's can't attack, defend, or even retain information without the Cyborgs, and without the Mutants, the Cyborgs can act on logic and compassion!" "Ah; that explains all that 'Master Within' talk." Twilight began to be insistent, and was now standing on her hind legs in front of the spa doors: "Yes! But don't you understand? We can't use Boron; it will kill the Cyborgs!" "I'm sorry Darling, but that is how to kill the Mutants." "But Rarity, the Cyborgs are innocent! We can't take innocent lives, unless there is no other choice! The Doctor wouldn't take an innocent life unless there is no other way!" "And I doubt there is another way; now get out of the way!" "Do what she says Twilight!" Spike insisted. Iron Will shouted: "NO! WHEN SOMEONE DOESN'T LISTEN, SHOW THEM WHAT THEY'RE MISSIN'!" With so much pressure of different opinions from her two companions, Twilight was beginning to feel overwhelmed... ========= "Come closer, oh yes, come closer to me, my dear Doctor..." ============== The Closing theme to today's episode: Youtube Video The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 8: Gallifreyan BuccaneerOpening theme to today's episode: Youtube Video ============= "So they'll blow the TARDIS up?" Spitfire asked. Trixie replied "well, that seems to be a fair assumption." "Well then, we have to leave!" "No we shouldn't, because if we let them blow the TARDIS up, then the whole Universe will be taken down with it." Spitfire stammered and stuttered at this information. "Yes my dear!" Trixie continued, "their Greant and Powerful war with the Great and Powerful Rutans is obviously not going too well, so they will set off the Great and Powerful Bitrax Bomb to end the Great and Powerful war with the Great and Powerful Rutans, so that the Great and Powerful Sontarans cannot say they suffered a Great and Powerful defeat, but the Great and Powerful Doctor has a Great and Powerful trap set up for the Great and Powerful Sontarans!" As soon as she finished saying that, bright sparks like fireworks burst around the sealed door. Trixie bellowed: "Look what you did to my Great and Powerful Door! It didn't even have the Great and Powerful lock set for it!" "Silence!" bellowed back the Sontaran leader. The two Sontarans looked like Ponies, but they were much shorter and thicker, and had heads that looked like potatoes. "I am Group Marshal Nathan of the Tenth Sontaran battle fleet!" (This name to Pony ears sounded highly brutal.) "Well you ruined a perfectly good visitation from the Great and Powerful Doctor's friends, Spitfire, and Button Mash!" At the last name, 'Group Marshal Nathan' lurched forward to Button Mash and inspected him closely. "Button...Mash?" he asked. "Ah" Group Marshal Nathan said as evilly as a Sontaran blessed/cursed with the name 'Group Marshal Nathan' possibly could, "I have heard of you!" he added almost accusingly at poor Button Mash with a point of his baton. "Well hardly" Trixie retorted, "he's only just arrived." "His name is known to us!" the Sontaran subordinate explained, and his commander, 'Group Marshal Nathan' added: "It seems we have found a prize for the Sontaran fleet of greater importance than we thought, even great than the Doctor herself...kill him." he ended shortly. ===================== Sweetie Belle ran across the junkyard to meet Octavia and Twilight's parents, Twilight Velvet, and Nachtlicht. Nachtlicht came from Germaneigh. "Mr. Nachticht! Mrs. Nachtlicht!" "Sweetie Belle?" She caught up to them, and was panting up a storm: "Trixie...TARDIS...oof!" she said before she absolutely collapsed. Octavia's mind quickly processed this, and her eyes darted to the junkyard. ===================== "No!" yelped Spitfire. "Well surely, it must be a coincidence!" explained Trixie. "After all, he is a child-" "His name is known in our future." Clarified the subordinate "In the year you would call 2021, a great Sontaran battle fleet attacked your pathetic planet, but the Sontaran colonists were repelled! And who was the leader of this revolution? Button Mash!" They added simultaneously. "But we shall not let this small inconvience get in the way! Sontar-ha! Sontar-ha! Sontar-ha! Sontar-" "Hate to interrupt, but...now Button, now!" The Button Mash pressed the switch, and a spray emerged from around the door. The Sontarans beneath it began to melt like ice-cream cones, and it was a truly gruesome site. Needless to say,Harley threw up, tears welled up in Spitfire's eyes, and Applebloom was enjoying every minute of it with a huge grin. When Spitfire had quite recovered, she said "well...well done, Button." "Well done indeed Button!" Trixie said with far more pride, as she was utterly unfazed. So unfazed in fact, that she asked a question: "Tell me something: How did you know about the Coaxial Stabilizers, the Acid Inducers, the Madral Condensers, among other things?" "Well, I saw you fly the TARDIS on TV, Doctor!" Button Mash replied with unrestrained enthusiasm. Then an image began to form on what was previously Twilight's television, but was now clearly the TARDIS primary communications monitor, for now even the main room was beginning to change shape. It was statically grainy, but a face was clearly visible: "Doctor, look at the screen!" Spitfire shouted. "It's monstrous!" shouted Spitfire. "It's revolting!" replied Trixie. Then the bearer of the face appeared through the TARDIS doors: It was FoalFondler, the Pony Jimmy Saville. His cutie mark was a very familiar-looking bear face that was a weird mixture of cute and creepy. We would all recognize it as Pedo Bear. "Who are you?" Trixie asked. "Why, I'm FoalFondler. Good to see you Doctor, and that lovely, lovely mare..." He took Spitfire's hoof and kissed it. Trixie's face at that said 'nope' without as much as a word. "Now, where did you get this marvelous coat?" he asked Button Mash, putting his hoof on Button's foreleg in an absolutely creepy way. "Now then, Good Doctor" he began, pulling a medal from one of his pockets "Would you kindly put this around his bonce without making his bonce disappear?" "The Great and Powerful Doctor shall certainly try!" replied Trixie, wearing a gloriously fake smile, trying to hide her actual nervousness. "The Great and Powerful Doctor shall just materialize the Great and Powerful Medel around his Great and Powerful neck." It was then that Octavia, Sweetie Belle, Nichtlicht, and Twilight Velvet burst in, and so FoalFondler turned around to look at them. Then Trixie seized the moment and flung FoalFondler into the doorway with her magic, and then shouted: "Now Button, now!" And with that, the third evil space creature in a row that day was thoroughly melted and so, Button Mash shouted: "Wow! I killed three mosnters today! How cool is that?" ================= Pinkie was losing all her confidence when numerous Daleks were now going up towards her on the flag pole: "COME WITH US WILL-ING-LY, AND NO HARM WILL COME TO YOU." Lyra knew should could not save them all, and that things would go terribly wrong: "Derpy! Go to the magnetite patch! It's in the shallow outskirts of the Everfree Forest! It looks like a big patch of rock! We'll bring the Daleks to you if when we can!" Derpy obeyed and ran towards the Everfree. ================= Applejack was having problems of her own as she was surrounded by Imerial Daleks: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!" "Umm...please?" The Daleks all halted, and all eyestalks were on Applejack. She resumed: "Um, please, with spaghetti on top?" Though these Daleks were two separate organisms, the Fluffy Pony brain was now having now trouble overriding the Pony Brain: "SPA-GHET-TI! SPA-GHET-TI!" They all shouted, their head rotating one way and their bodies rotating another; they were clearly excited. She knew it would not last long, but she had time to think of a good strategy to defeat these Daleks. "WAIT!" a commanding Imperial Dalek objected, "OUR ALL-MOTH-ER MAKES THE BEST SPA-GHET-TI! DO NOT BLASPHEME!! EXTERMINATE!!" Then, at Applejack's signal, she and the surrounded U.N.I.T. troops ducked and let the Daleks all shoot each other by mistake. But there were still surviving Daleks, including the Officer: "DES-TROY THEM!!" Then, one of these white Daleks was completely destroyed by the a blast, and it was not a misfire from a friend; all Dalek heads turned around to see the source: Once again for them, a run-in with Pure Daleks. "HALT! YOU WILL I-DEN-TI-FY!!" shouted an Imperial Dalek. "YOU WILL I-DEN-TI-FY FIRST!!" a Pure Dalek replied. "DAAA-LEKS DO NOT TAKE OR-DERS FROM IM-PER-SON-A-TORS!!" "YOU ARE NOT TRUE DAAA-LEKS! YOU WILL EX-PLAIN! EX-PLAAAIN!!" "WE WERE MADE BY THE ALL-MOTH-ER; SCANS IN-DI-CATE THAT YOU ARE THE PRE-VI-OUS DAAA-LEKS WHO RE-BELLED A-GAINST THE ALL-MOTH-ER!" "DAV-ROS? SHE CAN'T FIND HER WAY OUT OF AN EMP-TY ROOM!" "Well, YO SU-PREME IS SO FAT, IT TAKES THE EN-TIRE DAAA-LEK FLEET TO LIFT HIM!!" Before Applejack knew it, a "Yo Supreme" fight began among the Daleks. ================= To Celebrate her victories, Trixie began to sing: Trixie: I am the very model of a Gallopfreyan Buccaneer, I've information on all things a Gallopfreyan holds most dear, I've linked into the Matrix through its exitonic circuitry, I understand dimensional and relative chronometry. I'm very well acquainted too with matters of the Capitol, I'll give you verse and chapter on Panopticonian protocol, I've been into the Death Zone and I've played the Game of Rassilon-- (Rassilon? Assilon, Bassilon.. ah-ha!) With pestilential monsters that I got a lot of hassle from! Chorus: With pestilential monsters that she got a lot of hassle from! With pestilential monsters that she got a lot of hassle from! With pestilential monsters that she got a lot of hassle-hassle from! Trixie: I understand each language and I speak every vernacular, I'll conjugate each verb obscure, decline each line irregular, In short in every matter that a Gallopfreyan holds most dear, I am the very model of a Gallopfreyan Buccaneer. Chorus: In short in every matter that a Gallifreyan holds most dear, She is the very model of a Gallifreyan Buccaneer! Trixie: I've tackled shady Castellans with devious behavior, I've sparred with Time Lord chancellors like Thalia, Goth, or Flavia. In fact on some occasions I've held office Presidentially, Though maybe I won't mention I was ousted out eventually. I know just how it feels to be a wanted man and on the run, But wouldn't leave the carefree buccaneering life for anyone, Though sometimes my adventures seem absurdly operatical, (Operatical? Hatical, patical.. ah-ha!) With ups and down and twists and turns and incidents piratical. Chorus: With ups and down and twists and turns and incidents piratical! With ups and down and twists and turns and incidents piratical! With ups and down and twists and turns and incidents pirati-ratical! Trixie I've sailed the seven seas of Earth and all the oceans of the Moon, My trusty true Type 40 is my Gallopfreyan picaroon, But is this really what the average Gallopfreyan holds most dear? I wonder what they think about this Gallopfreyan Buccaneer. Chorus: But is this really what the average Gallopfreyan holds most dear! We wonder what they think about this Gallopfreyan Buccaneer! But... I've defeated evil robots such as Daleks, Quarks, and Cyberponies, I've overthrown dictators from Tobias Vaughn to Mavic Chenoveez, I've rescued helpless maidens from the devastating Viking hordes, Vanquished Autons, Axons, Daemons, Krotons, Monoids, Vampires, Voords. I've liberated planets and delivered them from total war, Saved Earth, Manussa, Dulkis, Skonnos, Earth, Tigella, Earth once more, In short I know I am the truest Rassilonian legate, (Legate? Decate, Hecate.. Hecate? Mm, not sure if that's canonical.. ah-ha! I have it!) And so to Time Lords all I say remember me to Gallopfrey! Chorus: A sentiment we all agree, remember her to Gallopfrey! A sentiment we all agree, remember her to Gallopfrey! A sentiment we all agree, remember her to Gallop-Gallopfrey! Trixie: I'm not content to just observe, I am a bold adventurer, Though other Time Lords mock this Gallopfreyan interventioner, I know in every matter that a Time Lord really should hold dear, I am the very model of a Gallopfreyan Buccaneer. Chorus: We know in every matter that a Time Lord really should hold dear, She is the very model of a Gallopfreyan Buccaneer! It was after the song ended that Trixie noticed Octavia was still there. Octavia could only look grumpy at this: "DALEKS AREN'T ROBOTS!! THEY'RE MUTANTS IN TANKS!!" "Oh, who died and made you the expert?" Trixie said snobbily, but that didn't stop Octavia: "AND CYBERPONIES AREN'T ROBOTS!! THEY'RE CYBORGS!" ========= Twilight was determined to save Rarity; one Lyra was bad enough. "But uhh...what if she instead regenerates into the alternate Fourth Doctor, played by Center Stage?" "The who now?" the Master asked, and with that, Rarity proved that she had more than one surprise up her sleeve (and she did have sleeves as she was wearing one of the Third Doctor's smoking jackets) for the Master: "Oh, you haven't seen the quality of my footwork yet!" she chirped, pushing him away with her hind legs. The Sombra-Master had been knocked to the coffee table on which there was a sandwich tray, and he found himself cornered, Rarity now armed with one of his weapons, and two swords in hoof, and she went "tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, what have I always been telling you? Violence is never the answer." "Well Doctor, you haven't beaten me yet...just wait and see what happens next." =================== Derpy was now lost in what seemed to be the borders of the Everfree Forest: She figured that if she poked 'round long enough, she would eventually eventually find the magnetite patch. But something was wrong with the trees. They were only a few short meters up, and they had no branches or leaves. They often made many funny squiggle shapes. Oh! The word squiggle! Squiggle was Derpy's favorite word! It was so silly! Squiggle-wiggle? Oh, she liked that! Squiggly-wiggly-woo! She should tell Carrot Top about this! But wait...where was Carrot Top? As she pondered this, large clanking sounds began two echo throughout this weird part of the forest. She hid in one of the squiggles to be safe, and then she saw what appeared to be giant toy soldiers marching her way. She then emerged again from the crevice hiding place and saw a sight she did not want to see: ========= The Closing theme today's episode: Youtube Video The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 9: Special (and slightly delayed) 50th Anniversary Issue!"Master...Would you. Like a. Jelly Filly?" asked a Cyberpony. Twilight observed that most of the Cyberponies she saw so far started out resembling the ones from The Tenth planet, but as the night waned, they began to look like Cyberponies from The Moon Base, but this one didn't change at all. "What's with the Cyberponies anyway...and that Dalek in the hot-tub?" A dark Dalek swivled it's head around and said "DO NOT TELL A-NY DAAA-LEK!!" Then a Cyberpony approached the Dalek in the hot-tub. "Would. you. care. for some. jammy-dodgers?" "YES, THANK YOU!" the Dalek replied. Then the Dalek put its plunger on a jammy-dodger...and it's plunger touched the Cyberpony's hoof. They looked at each other...and a mutual spark was felt. "HI...." the Dalek said awkwardly. "They are those that have embraced a measure of individuality, and are thus under my care and protection; they provided me helping hooves with my plans" the Master explained. "So you didn't bring the Daleks and the Cyberponies into this world?" "Oh, I helped bring them into this realm this time; typically I despise them, but they were necessary to gain your attention, Doctors. I loathe how much they hate individuality, and thus I offer sanction for the few that embrace it; not unlike us, really Doctors, for we both fled Gallopfrey for it's suppression of independent thinking and personality..." "So you did bring the Daleks here." "Well, with some help..." "Some help?" ========= Derpy had a gun trained to her face, which she didn't like, and a stallion dressed in fancy-pants clothes, colonial clothes complete with tri-corner hat and tall white stockings, was barking at her in some foreign language. Confused, all Derpy could say was, "Umm...you speak...Equestrian?" Then he lowered his guns and spoke nicely "M'lady, I was born and raised by two good, honest parents in the Trottingham province of Equestria!" "Oh goodness, why didn't you say so at once?" Derpy asked. "I've spoken as many languages as I have had the least smattering of; High and low Dutch, Latin..." Derpy replied: "Well, let's start at the beginning again shall we? What exactly did you say to me?" Then with the gun trained on her again, he began: "I said 'Beware, false traitor, highwaymare, robber, pickpocket, murderer!" "I think you must be making some mistake!" Derpy squealed "Highwaymare indeed! Can you tell me when you were last in Trottingham?" "We set sail from Bristol on May 14, 1699." "Wait, did you say 'We'?" Derpy inquired. "What became of my companions, I cannot tell..." the stallion replied as if in a state of dream. "They were all lost." "Well sir, you and I are on the same muffin, uh, I mean, boat!!" "You mean you have a stout ship!" the stallion replied in a far gruffer voice, with the gun now at Derpy's throat." "Uh, um, well, uh, no. Look, would you mind taking that gun away? It scares me!" "Well, m'lady, if you can confirm to me that you are no traitor..." "Um, a traitor? A traitor to what? I don't even know where I am...where am I?" "I cannot tell" he said simply. "Well, that makes two of us, doesn't it? Um, okay, what's going on?" Derpy asked. "Where are my companions? I seemed to have lost them! Can you help me look around-" "The Ruler forbids it!" the Stallion replied. "Who's this ruler?" "The Author." "The Author?" Derpy asked. "Yes; he rules these lands now, did ye not know?" "Uh, nay, I did not...so, tell me about this 'Author'" =============== The U.N.I.T. soldiers had their share of losses, but they induced the same on their opponents: they turned up horse carts and barricades, and one used a bazooka on a Dalek. It worked, as the Daleks had not yet been upgraded to their Time-War state power level. This made the Dalek's compatriots rather upset: "RAAAUUUUGHH!!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!" They were in luck, as they were divided between Imperial and Pure Daleks, who were still arguing with each other and not helping each other in their ailments. "YOUR SU-PREME IS SO O-BESE THAT WHEN THE DAAAAA-LEK COM-MAN-DER SAW HIM, HE THOUGHT IT WAS A PLAN-ET!!" It was then when all the high-ranking officers returned.... Applejack skipped over to them with joy: "Thank goodness you returned! We need your help misters! These Daleks will eventually unite as a whole an' go after us when they're done arguing!" But the Lieutenant looked at her and said nothing. Applejack continued: "We gotta go to the Everfree Forest to a big patch of Magnetite and get the Daleks to shoot it!" "To...wipe their memories clean?" asked a captain. "Yep Sugarcube...do ya have a problem with that?" "Why, uh, no!" the Captain said, struggling with something that Applejack couldn't put her hoof around "It's just uh..." The Brigadier General decided to expand on it: "We thought that we're doing well enough against the Daleks!" "Not fer long we won't" Applejack continued to explain. "And while them Daleks may be among the worst of the monsters here, we need other get rid of the other things as well, which we can't do without major losses." Meanwhile, Pinkie found herself being surrounded by Daleks, and then lifted off the flag pole upon which she stood, being carried away to the Daleks' base of operations. "Um guys...HEEEEELLLLLLP!!!!!!" Lyra didn't know what else to do! Derpy was probably lost, Applejack was surrounded, Pinkie was being foal-napped, Rarity, Twilight, Fluttershy, Octavia, and Rainbow Dash didn't return yet. It was just her and Cadence. That meant it was time to do something really crazy and stupid. And that meant she had to do it now. =============== SPECIAL 50TH ANNIVERSARY CHAPTER!!! THIS TIME, THE DOCTORS ACT LIKE PONIES!!! ============== A bolt of lightning struck the city hall. "Oh, I, uh, oh, I just don't know what went wrong!" the Second Doctor exclaimed angrily, stamping his feet in frustration on the cloud he stood on, thus generating more lightning. The Eleventh Doctor then turned his head around, and saw the horrible damage inflicted on the nearby city hall: "Oh yeah, it's a mystery all right..." he said with subtle sarcasm. =============== "Quit your whining!" the Silurian growled. The Third Doctor replied: "I am not whining, I am complaining; do you want to hear whining? Thiiiiiis is whiiiiiiniiiiiiing!! Ooooh, this harness is too tight! It's gooooiiiiiing to leave a staaaaiiiiiin..." =============== Frustrated, the Second Doctor continued to thrust mail in the mailbox: "Open up Mr. Mailbox, it's time for your breakfast!!" he shouted. =============== The Fourth Doctor recognized Sarah Jane's distinctive call: "DOOOOCTOOOOR! There is a dead man in our house!" Indeed there was: It was hard to tell, for the corpse was rather mangled, but it was in fact a dead man all right. "Oh, hey, how did he get here, Sarah?" the Doctor asked with a large and hilarious grin on his face. Sarah was troubled by this grin, that she asked: "Doctor, what did you do??!" "Me? Oh, I didn't do anything Sarah!" "Explain what happened Doctor!" "I never seen him before in my life, Sarah!" "Why did you kill this person Doctor?!" "Oh, I do not kill people Sarah, that is my least favorite thing to do!" he continued on, still grinning. "Tell me Doctor, exactly what were you doing before I came home." "Oh, well, right, I was upstairs." "Okay." "I was, uh, I was sitting in my room!" "Yes." "Reading a book!" "Go on." "Well, then, this man walked in." "Okay" "And then I walked up to him." "Yes..." "And I stabbed him! 37 times! In the chest! Then I filled the holes with Jelly Babies." There was a silence. "DOOOOCTOOOOOORRRR!!!! THAT KILLS PEOPLE!!" "Oh, oh, wow, uh, I didn't know that...would you like a Jelly Baby?" "How could you not know that?!" "Yeah, I'm in the wrong here; I suck!" he proclaimed still smiling. "So, would you like that Jelly Baby?" ============== So the First Doctor told the interviewer: "She's great, right? A companion who will clean the dishes for you! only, small problem...Susan cleans them with...wubs." And then he facepalmed. ============== "Doctor! Give me back my covers!" demanded the Third Doctor. The Ninth replied: "I can't hear you, I'm asleep!" and with that, he feigned snoring. ============== "The only thing better than muffins is waffles, but with lots of muffins on the side!" the Second Doctor declared proudly. ============= "My favorite word is Comquat!" shouted the Tenth. ============= The Seventh Doctor rushed up to the Eight, and started: "Sunshine, Sunshine, Ladybugs awake! Clap your hands and do a little shake!" The Eighth was looking rather awkward at having the Seventh's arse waved at his face. "Oh dear..." ============ "Step right up, all you lot, and witness the power of the Great and Powerful Doctor!" shouted the Sixth Doctor. ============ The Fifth Doctor addressed all of the children: "Oh, how about I sing you a lullaby!" "Yeah!" they all agreed. "Hush now, quiet now, it's time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now, quiet now, it's time to go to bed..." "I know this one, Master." K-9 said. "Oh, would you like to sing it with me?" "Affirmitive." "Oh, all right." K-9's version went something like this: Youtube Video And the Fifth Doctor's expression was something like this: ============ With a loudspeaker in hand, balancing himself on a flagpole, and pointing to Jean-Luc Picard, the Tenth Doctor shouted: "Could someone get a wig please, because this guy is really, really, BALD!!!!" Jean-Luc facepalmed. ============ "He is not Lucie! He is Davros, a madman bent on conquest!" the Eighth Doctor proclaimed accusingly. Then, 'Lucie' began to change as she laughed: "Right you are, Doctor! And as Lord Emperor of the Daleks, it is my duty to bring my subjects to cause the total annihilation of the peoples within the city! Soon, ALL SHALL KNEEL BEFORE THE POWER OF THE DALEKS!!!!" ============= The Fourth Doctor sat on a chair, looking quite content: "Ah, I must be sitting on the most comfortable chair in the world!" But then he looked at the chair he sat upon; "no, there is no way it can be comfortable: It must be my arse! I have the most comfortable arse in the world!" And then, he raised his index finger to his mouth and did his 'eye-thing' he always did. ============= "Yes, watch as all the little people run the f*** away..." groaned the Twelfth Doctor, as the Seventh tried to persuade him to join the Nightmare Night festival. ============= In his study, the Seventh Doctor began his letter: "Dear...Pr-r-r-r-rincess...John...Hurt..." The Eleven Doctors: Chapter Ten: Pony Pokey Time!Lyra had to do something, so she did do something: "You put your right foot in you put your right foot out you put your right hoof in and you shake it all about! You do the Pony Pokey and you turn yourself around! That's what I'm talking about!!" All looked at bewilderment at her random and seemingly useless decision, and yet, it did something: As soon as she began, something went wrong with the Daleks. They began to go: "AUUGGH!! I CAN-NOT!! YAAGH! MAL-FUNC-TION!!! MAL-FUNC-TION!!!" and then, one by one, they shut down. After a brief silence of relief, muffled cries were heard in the Imperial Dalek Cyborg Tanks: "Hewwp! Fwuff can't see!" "Dawk! Scawwy!" "Oh poopies..." The Fluffy Ponies were trapped in their tanks. The Dalek cyborgs then began to reactivate, one by one, but each time, it was clear something was different "HELP! HELP!! ALL CON-TACT WITH THE MAS-TER WITH-IN IS E-RA-DI-CA-TED!!!" Then the tanks reactivated themselves, but something was wrong with them: "I HAVE LOST ALL COM-MUN-I-CA-TIONS WITH THE MAS-TER WITH-IN!!!!" "AF-FIRM-A-TIVE!!!" "WHAT SHALL I DO NOW???" One by one, the Daleks seemingly permanently lost any contact with the Kaled Mutants and the Fluffy Ponies. In a massive panic, they began to spin around in directions, utterly dazed and despairing over the shocking changes they underwent. "Keep doing it Lyra!" Bon-Bon squealed desperately. "Way to go, girl!" shouted Blueblood, "how about a victory kiss?" Blueblood was not usually interested in mares unless they surprised him in some way, and Lyra gave him a surprise that now set a new record. Cadence, whose weak knowledge of the Doctor inspired her to lay low and avoid too much attention, made a vital mental note: When being the Doctor, anything goes. ******************* Spike took advantage of the distraction and threw a firecracker at the back of the Sombra-Master's Head. "RAUAUHGHGHGAUGHGHG!!!!" Then Shining pounced on a lounging Cyberpony (the rest were still in the sauna and didn't care) to hold him down., Rarity immediately took advantage of this, grabbed the rapier, pinned Sombra to the ground, and held the blade at his throat: "yield." "I might...but some other time, my dearest Doctor." The next thing Rarity knew, she crashed face-first into the wooden floor. Sombra had materialized right in front of her, holding a hoof-held teleportation device. "Now my dears-" began the Sombra Master, but then loud alarms blared. "What is wrong?!" he shrieked. "Contact. With Daleks. Has been interrupted." a Cyberpony answered. Alright then, time to get serious" he said. Into a microphone, he began to speak: "Lieutenant Brogun, you probably already know this now that you've seen what's happened, but just in case, the Daleks are malfunctioning: We may have to accelerate our plans. I want you to order your men to fire on the Doctors." Then he turned off the mic and spoke to his Doctress captives: "Now my dears, you will no longer interfere with the Author's plans..." ******************** Trixie squealed "Octavia, what are you doing?" "Trying to pilot the TARDIS." Octavia explained "I want to play around with this, so I can figure out what all the parts do." "Why?" implored Nachtlicht "If I do this, then I will surely find a use for this to aid Twilight's cause. Now I should think...let's see if I got this right...ah, there!" The distinctive sound of the TARDIS brakes screeching echoed throughout the corridors... Octavia then calmly and quietly approached the doors, and pushed them apart. "Oh dear.... I don't think we're in Ponyville anymore!" ************************* "I guess...I guess it's over." Cadence muttered. "YEAH!!!!" added Bulk Snowlfake Biceps. Cadence was so shocked that something so simple could so badly interfere wit the Dalek Cyborg CPU...and even more shocked at the sincere pain the cyborgs were in. She couldn't resist the urge to speak, but couldn't speak more than she already did. Lyra cut in: "Incorrect. We need to get rid of the other monsters, we need to rescue Pinkie, we need to find the rest, and...teeheeheeheeheeheehee!!!" "What's so funny Lyra?" Applejack asked. "Look! Whoever sculpted that had a sense of humor!" Bon-Bon then gazed at it, and saw what was so funny: There were three Angel shaped statues. Two were making faces and positions that strongly portray uproarious laughter. The other was smothered in cake, looking aghast, as though ensaddened and shocked that its "friends" would treat it in such a way. "Um, Lyra...you really should start watching the New Who." Bon-Bon said, holding in all her panic. "Why?" "Because those aren't statues...." Blueblood explained uncomfortably. "What?!" "Keep you eyes on them...just...don't look into their eyes." Lyra, who was completely out of control, began to break down: "WHATDOIDOWHATDOIDOWHATDOIDOWHATDOIDO-" Then a male voice added, "yes, do." Without any warning, some clicks indicated that some guns were trained on the Doctors. "What are you doing?" "You must not move, Doctors." "Well, we can't, the Angels-" "Exactly. You have been a threat long enough. It's time to stop. Move, and the Angels get you. You'll be dead." "But we're your allies!" Cadence protested. "You are as much of enemies to Equestria as the Daleks themselves." "What in tarnation!?" Applejack exclaimed. "You're Zygons aren't you?" Lyra asked. The soldiers then looked at the officers. "They're Zygons" Lyra explained. "Ask them things." "General! When was the last time you ate a good steak?" "Ignore them, men!! Do as I say!! Shoot them!" "You dodged the questrion!" There was soon division amongst the soldiers. Similar to the building division of the Doctors... Then Blueblood had an idea to even the odds: "Please, let me speak to you all...hmm, corporal...I didn't know that your eyes were blue...I like blue eyes...you could say it's...a fetish..." ********* Derpy soon heard cooing, and then found herself surrounded by creepy foals. "Oh, um, hello!" "Why did the chicken cross the road?" one of them asked. "Well, to get to the other side, or so I have been told." "What can you make of a sword?" "A hubcap?" Derpy answered. "Rearrange..." a filly hinted. Then it hit Derpy. "WORDS!" She shouted triumphantly! S-W-O-R-D...rearrange the letters, and you can make W-O-R-D-S! The kids all jumped and cheered for the Doctor-Derpy, and they ran off, singing limerics. Derpy was now determined to use this knowledge of the transformed Everfree to save the day! And it was not long after this new form of determination that she saw something else that frightened her. ************** Since Octavia took over Trixie's role as commander of the TARDIS, Trixie decided to indulge herself in her role as her favorite Doctor... "The Great and Powerful Doctor has not looked better: A clear gaze, and a face beaming with pure intelligence!" Snips just thought she looked like Trixie. *************** Fluttershy stood guard at Sugarcube Corner, but it seemed that nopony was there, but then she heard a commotion, and saw bright lights, from the town square. She watched the battle from a distance, waiting to make a good move. When the Daleks departed, she ordered her companions to remain at Sugarcube Corner. She didn't want to risk their lives, and she didn't want them to break her stealth: The Daleks had a base, she new, and she had to see it and assess it. Fluttershy walked, all alone on the borders of Ponyville, following the trail of Imperial Daleks. She began thinking: Some of the Daleks suddenly broke down. Even from the Sugarcube Corner you surely must have seen that. She wanted to get to the bottom of this, and see what they were doing. She began to enter down an old shack that clearly could not hold room for all of them. Is it bigger on the inside? she wondered. ***************** "Come clean Master, what help are you referring to?" Twilight asked. "I retained some help from the Author, a powerful force who can change worlds." Sombra replied, while exchanging rapier blows with the Doctor-Rarity. "Why are you telling us this? Now we know!" "The Author makes himself hard to find...and hard to stop." "So it's a he, eh?" Rarity was keen on memorizing as much information of this mysterious "Author" as she could. The Sombra Master ignored them. "The Author needed to re-sculpt this district, which armies of Daleks and Cyberponies have done so speedily, so that he can do with it as he pleases." "Why does he need to re-sculpt it?" "Why? For the glory of Satan, of course!" the Discord Master piped in. "What?" "Heheheh, nevermind, but without that altering, he can't really have power, can he?" the Discord/Master explained. "Why tell us that secret?" Twilight asked. "Because it's already too late, sweetheart!" the Discord Master chuckled. "Soon the Author will use Ponyville as a starting point for absolute control over Equestria, and re-shape it to suit his head-canon!" "His what now?" Spike asked. "There is so much you do not know..." Sombra said enigmatically. ***** "Soon, all of reality shall bow to me! I have created the ultimate life-form! I AM ABOVE AND BEYOND GOD!!!!!!" "MOTH-ER, ARE YOU PLAY-ING SPORE A-GAIN?" The Davros-Chrysalis quickly jumped out of her chair and covered the screen with her hooves: "Why, uh, no! I was um, well, why, admiring my Daleks of course!" The Imerpial Dalek's eyestalk telescoped and the lens narrowed, both indicating a very high suspicion. "MOTH-ER, YOU KNOW HOW YOU GET WHEN YOU PLAY SPOOOOORE. GIVE ME THE DISC." With a sad sigh, Chryssie closed all of her work, unable to save her progress, and then, with the poutiest of faces, opened the drive and handed the disc to the Dalek. The Fluffies are getting smarter...or is it the Cyborgs?, she thought. "A-LERT! A-LERT! MOTH-ER, MOTH-ER! SCANS HAVE DE-TECTED A DOC-TOR LURK-ING IN OUR QUARTERS!!" "Let me see." grumbled Chrysalis-Davros. "Zoom in." After analyzing the image for a while, Chryssie looked at it and said: "Oh, I know this Doctor. He lacked the stomach for killing. Gang up on him, this will be easy enough...no guns though. The Fifth Doctor was not someone to be trifled with when he had a gun in hand." The Imperial Dalek understood and obeyed these commands without the fear that Pure Daleks had, for it had no foreknowledge of the Doctors: "ALL U-NITS GATHER TO A-RE-A B-56, FLOOR 1!!!" "I O-BEY!!" As the other Daleks glided away, a squadron gathered to the Davros Chrysalis chamber. "What have you to report?" The Daleks then gradually parted, and out of the tight center, a pink poof ball crashed down. "What?!" "'Allo, 'allo, 'allo!!!" Pinkie said with her best Theater Frenzy voice. ************ The Doctor-Fluttershy heard loud alarms blaring all around. "Oh dear..." Thanks for the 1000 views!"Well, red, sinister lights, I like red sinister lights...very sinister...and very...red-ish." Pinkie went on in as character as possible. Chryssie gazed blankly at the Pink one. "Where did you find this?" "WE WERE EX-PLI-CIT-LY OR-DERED TO COL-LECT THE E-NE-MY I-TEMS, AND TAK-ING SOME PO-NIES IS SOME-THING OF IN-TER-EST TO THEM!!" "Fascinating...but why would the Daleks take Ponies?" Inquired Chrysalis. "Well, they did totally kill Toola-Roola and StarSong, and I think Kimono's dead too." Chrysalis then put her mechanical hand to her chin: "Fascinating. I take it that those they spared are being herded to something called 'The Final Experiment', yes?" "Well, yeah, how did you-" "Nobody should know their creatures better than their own creators" Chrysalis explained. "My monsters are up to something grand; and I would like you to eradicate them!" "Um, yeah, I can't let you do that." Pinkie replied. "AND WHY NOT?!" "Because there's going to be a catch....riiiiiiiight????" To her surprise, Chrysalis smiled. "A rational reason; I like that. Fair enough, all I want to to prevent a wide over-population of creatures that are out of control." Before either of them could continue, Fluttershy was shoved into the same room as the rest of them: "Oof!" Then she tilted her head up. "Hi Davros. Sorry to have made you wait." "It was but a pleasure deferred. Now you are here....now you shall pay ten fold for the mental agony I suffered!!!" "I'll say one thing Davros...you're like a deranged child, you're always talking about killing, revenge, and destruction!" "It is the only path to absolute power!!" "But at what end, Davros?" Pinkie remained silent the entire time until now: "WHOOOOOOO WANTS DONUTS?" They both glanced at her, and then continued their conversation: Fluttershy decided to get the damaged electricity cannon and aim it at the Chrysalis Davros: "What are you doing?!" pleaded the Chrysalis Davros. "I'm not here as your prisoner Davros, but as your executioner." "Hey, since Davros' life is about to end right about now, how about we offer her some cupcakes? They make your last breaths magically delicious!" "PINKIE PIE! MAKE YOURSELF SCARCE!!" "But I-" Flutterbitch then shoved Pinkie against a wall, and Davros decided to help Flutters. The "wall" turned out to be an automatic sliding door, which then opened and Pinkie slid right through it, and then was locked on the other sied. "That should keep her quiet," the Chrysalis Davros muttered. "Now, back to our discussion" Fluttershy said gently, "I think I'm going to kill you." ************ Blueblood was totally making out with a Pony turned Zygon, to the astonishment of other Ponies. All their jaws dropped. What surprised nopony now was how the Zygon immediately revealed itself as exactly that, a Zygon, reflexively. At that moment, all the guns of the soldiers cocked, but Blueblood waved a gentle hoof at them: "No, don't shoot," he cooed "their cover is blown. There's nothing they can do now." One desparate Zygon shouted "JUST SHOOT THEM!!" "Oh, 'just shoot them teased Blueblood'", which was an accurate impression. Snickering at this, a Zygon officer said between guffaws, "do me! do me!" Then, Blueblood gazed at him deeply... minutes later.... "Wow..." the Zygon officer said between pants, "that's not what I meant...but...call me, okay?" "I will stud," Blueblood said with a wink. Lyra was probably the only Pony who didn't look as though she had her childhood ravaged in front of her eyes: "Hey, where did the Angels go? Her question was answered by having all the Angels surround them at once, all to their surprise. ************ Pinkie planned this: She tested Fluttershy's and the Chryalis Davros' capacity of paying attention to her several times, just to make sure they wouldn't suddenly care about what she was doing. She knew that both Fluttershy and Davros would not agree to this, because she was planning at blowing the place sky-high. She knew she put the lives at herself and everypony else nearby at doing this, but it wasn't just Ponyville at stake, but the entire world. She actually hated to do this, but she knew that she may have to and end to several hundred lives, Pony and Dalek alike, to save the Ponies from destruction. She gets all her energy from nuclear fusion, right? she thought. To hold plasma within the coils of the core, she needs some pret-ty strong magnetism, which she probably sheleters from the Daleks to not disrupt their CPUs. Must be held under lock and key. However, she turned on her toy Sonic Screwdriver Luckily, I have just the tool I need, she thought. **************** "Now you see," the Discord Master began, "I had the Daleks plant a little device of my own...It grants the author more will over what he can do to this wretched place, now I'll turn on this device...and more of his will gets planted in...Just watch." Then Twilight saw the screen, and was surprised: There was Derpy, in the Everfree Forest... Derpy had then approached a clearing in the forest, and then she saw it: Poor Golden Harvest, still as a statue. She went up to it, and pleaded with it, trying to make her speak again...but it was no use. The she noticed something...a safe...and a well... Realizing the pattern, she put it all together: "Golden Harvest is safe and well!" As soon as she figured that riddle out, Gold Harvest's face disappeared! But then, there was a felt board, with felt pieces on it, that made a felt face. But they were separate from the head, so she knew what she had to do: assemble the pieces together to finish the face! So then she tried it, putting an eye here, and mouth over there, and when she was done, she was sure she got it right...but at better attention, she realized something was a little off...but it was too late to fix that, and Golden Harvest was alive again, but with a different face. Golden Harvest said "Derpy...I feel different." Derpy began to panic and plead: "Goldie, before you look at your face, just remember, I love you!!!" All this did was tempt Goldie to look at her reflection all the more. And she screamed. And screamed and screamed and screamed. "Derpy...what did you do!" "I, I just don't know what went wrong..." "BESIDES EVERYTHING?!?!" "Well, it's not that bad." Derpy insisted. "Not that bad? I look like a Picasso!" The Discord-Master guffawed and chortled until tears welled in his eyes, and then he regained composure. "Now, let's see what will happen when we screw with Trixie's mind." Trixie was in the TARDIS, still grooming and preening herself. Snips walked in, and then she stared at him. "Your name...Snips, right?" "Um, yeah?" "How did you come by that name?" "Mom gave it to me?" "Or perhaps it is a name, of a spritely being, yes?" "Trixie, you're not making much sense." "Of course not. You're an alien spy; do you know what we do with alien spies?" Snips shook his head. Trixie decided to demonstrate.... The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 2: The StrategemThe theme to today's episode: Youtube Video ===================== "That's what Twilight?" asked Rainbow Dash "The Daleks can't really think at all without hard drives!" replied Twilight "Shining, remember when you put all those magnetic comics on your computer?" "Yeah...it wrecked my hard drive..." "Exactly! (See everypony, this is what I have to deal with!) We can use magnets to wreck the Daleks' hard drives! Then they will be incapable of remaining organized and just shoot everything indiscriminately!" "But..." "But what, Ditzy?" asked Twilight. "Isn't the problem with the Daleks that they are indiscriminate enough as it is?" The whole room was silent. Ditzy Derpy made a very good point. "But Ditzy, you heard what they said outside: The Daleks already made an alliance with the Cyber-Ponies. That cannot end well. There aren't just Daleks out there: There are Silurians, Sontarans, Weeping Angels, and maybe Zygons and the Silence and Celestia-knows-what out there. We can't get rid of all them all by ourselves, we need to wipe the Dalek hard-drives clean to get them to "exterminate" them for us, since with the hard-drives wiped, they'll shoot everything, even their allies." Fluttershy wimpered and hid her head in her hooves "Tha-that sounds so ruthless Twilight...you're already beginning to act like the Seventh Doctor *eep!!" Twilight gave her a sympathetic hoof: "I know Fluttershy, but it's what we have to do to free Ponyville. If we don't stop this, these infestations will spread until all of Equestria is either Dalek or Cyberpony. So what we must do is turn their weapons against each other, starting with turning the Daleks against everything, even other Daleks." "Awesome!" replied Rainbow Dash, "but how about the Daleks themselves?" "I don't know, actually. Lyra...how do the Daleks get their energy." "Oh! lots of ways! They mostly get it either through static electricity on the floors of their metal structures or through small inner nuclear reacters-" "They must be running on the Nuclear reactors, since Ponyville doesn't have any Skaro floors; I know how to stop them: Boron. It's an element that can interfere with the movements of atomic particles. The only problem is, Ponyville doesn't have any Boron, does it?" "I have some Boron!" Pinkie Pie never failed to surprise them. "What? Pinkie?! But...how?" Twilight decided to not bother "nevermind, is it in Sugarcube Corner?" "Yes indeedy!" "Okay then, we shall use magnets to lobotomize the Daleks, and then disable their inner power-generators!" "Excellent!" proclaimed Shining Armor. "Sounds like a plan!" said Rarity. "FAAAAAAANTASTIC!" Applejack concluded. "I promote Lyra and Twilight to be the leaders of this outing!" All heads turned to Shining Armor. He was the one who blurted it out. "I mean, face it, they know more about Doctor Whooves than the rest of us put together." "Well-" Twilight was initially uncertain, but Lyra had all the confidence in the world. "We most certainly can! Under the leadership of me and Twilight, we'll exterminate all the monsters before you can say 'Jelly Fillies'!" "Jelly Fillies!" shouted Derpy, but then she looked outside and then turned her head back towards Lyra with an exasperated expression on her face: "Nope, they're still there, even though I said 'Jelly Fillies'." Twilight however, was not 100% confident in this: "I realized something: We probably can't do this as ourselves, and we can't have all the refugees come with us, we should stay as a small group, or at least in teams, under a handful of leaders acting as the Doctor." "How come?" asked Applejack Pinkie Pie giggled: "Hee hee hee!!! Because silly, the title is The Eleven Doctors! Not The Three Dozen Schmoes in Cosplay!" "Wut?" asked Applejack. "Just ignore her" sighed Twilight. "I just don't think that as Twilight, I can really defeat them. In fact, somehow, I have a feeling that I'm not supposed to even be Twilight." "Ah know that feeling Sugarcube: Ah'm not fit tuh take on Dahleks an' Cahberponies an' Zahgons, or at least, Applejack ain't. The Nahnth Doctor, however...There's also something in my head...something sayin'...Ah'm s'posed to be the Doctor rahght now..." "Applejack, that voice is called, 'The Author'; he is writing this story!" squealed Pinkie Pie with ecstasy. Ignoring Pinkie Pie, "Oh brother, does this mean we have to be in-character?" asked Rainbow Dash. "To a small and reasonable extent, yes!" answered Twilight. "I- I just have this sinking feeling that there is something out there that wants us to be the Doctor. That we can't win unless we are the Doctor." "But what about the rest of us" asked Shining, "we aren't letting you go out there alone!" Then Twilight looked, and saw the many Ponies and variations-thereupon in her library. "Say, Shining, what is that you're wearing?" asked Twilight "Oh this? It's a uniform of my favorite Uncle; he was a one-star general-" "A one-star general? You mean like...a Brigadier?" "Why, yes Twily! I-adfhgmthf!" His mouth was stuffed by Twilight's hoof. "Okay, then you go shall be the Brigadier!" "But Twily, that's not a Doctor Whooves character!" "Actually, it is." "Well then, what does this Brigadier do?" "Mostly, he orders cannon-fodder around and gets exasperated at the Doctor" "Oh. I can do that!" "Good. You're on Rarity's team." Cadence scowled as Shining Armor was forcefully herded towards Rarity. "Okay, Twist!" shouted Twilight. "Yeth?" "You're Adric, stick with Fluttershy." "I will be the betht companion thhe could athk for!" "Bon-Bon, what's that you're wearing?" Twilight inquired. "It's a Beatles uniform." "You look like Healing Hoof. Go with Lyra" ("Healing Hoof" is the name for the character we call "Harry Sullivan") "Okay" Twilight began, "Carrot Top, who are you?" "Me? I'm Ginny Weasely!" "Since that rubbish thing you're wearing looks more like a kilt than a mini-skirt, you can be Sgian Dubh!" (It is pronouched "Skein Duh", and Sgian Dubh is the Pony name for the character we know as "Jamie McCrimmon") "Well, what does he do?" asked Carrot "Mostly, he just acts Scottish." "Oh. I can do that!" And to prove her point, she grabbed a caber log out of nowhere and tossed it at Twist (nopony likes Twist). "Great, now Snowflake, you're Rebel Heart, go with Cadence!" ("Rebel Heart" is what Ponies call "Luncie Miller"; Snowflake was dresses as a stereotypical secret agent, so the costume worked) "YYYEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Snowflake shouted. "You! Spitfire; what's that?" "Oh this? Just formal attire." "You're going as Free Breeze with Fluttershy." (Free Breeze was the Pony name for Tegan) "Now, I need to send more companions with Derpy...Mr. and Mrs. Cake, you're going to be Strong Arm and Swift Type; mostly they just are in awe of how weird the Doctor is, so that role with Derpy shouldn't be too hard." (Which were the Pony names of Ben Jackson and Polly Wright, respecitvely) "Now Berryshine Punch, you shall be Peri Dox, so stich with Cadence!" (Charley Pollard is the non-Pony name to Peri Dox) "Sukhbataar, we need you as Clever Girl to go with Rainbow Dash." (Clever Girl was what the Ponies called Clara Oswin Oswald) Sukh got a wingboner at this. "Meadow Song', you also go with Rainbow Dash, as River Song." This too, got a wingboner. Neither knew what exactly those roles were, they just knew that they got to be around Rainbow Dash, and if they knew, they would be all the more pleased. "Judging from your reactions, I'd say you'd be happy to join, but I take it that you won't be able to fly." There were blushes upon both of their faces. "Blossomforth, you are going to be Nyssa, head for team Fluttershy. Now Fancy Pants, I don't know what else to make you besides Master Key, so stick with Rarity!" (Master Key was the Pony Name for Joe Grant) Twilight then asked, "Okay, Big Mac, what are you?" "Spock." "Thought as much, do you know who C'rizz is?" "Nope." "He is a companion of the Eighth Doctor in the Audio Dramas, and he is a often a quiet and simple soul who doesn't fully know who he is; can you play that role?" "Eeyup!" "Good! Stick with Cadence!"Shouted Twilight, and then she asked "Blueblood! Who are you?" "The sexy Equestrian WWII veteran!" "Star Hunter. Hooves down. Stick with Applejack." (Star Hunter is the Pony Name for Jack Harkness) "And you! Filthy Rich! You're Pennan Paper." (The Pony name for Sarah Jane Smith) "Bu-but...what about me?" Pouted Pinkie Pie, "See, that's the thing: I'm the Doctor, but beyond that, I just don't know who I am! It's all untested! Am I funny? Sarcastic? Sexy?" "Oh Pinkie" Twilight said "you can pretty much be yourself, and then your companions, I'll get Pokey Pierce for Heartha and Jelly-Guy for Dunno." (Martha and Donna, respectively) Then Twilight looked to her parents: "Mom, Dad, please be careful", and then looked to Octavia: "You are the first Doctor, and my parents are Enlight Enment and Focused Research. Take care of them." (Enlight Enment was the name of Barbara Wright, and Focused Research was Ian Chesterfield.) Twilight then asked "Now, who are you Iron Will?" "Iron Will is Rick Roll! Iron Will would never give you up, or let you down!" But Twilight looked, and saw that his wig was cheap and curly. "You look more like Cyber Brain." (The Pony Name for Mel Bush) "But I don't know if you should come." Twilight was swiftly proven wrong with Iron Will approached Trixie, who was guzzling cookies, and shouted: "You don't want to start a riot, take my advice, and stay on a diet!" "Yep, he's Cyber Brain alright! C'mon Iron Will, I need you on my team! We'll call you...Iron Mel!" "All Daleks will go to Hell, If they cross paths with Iron Mel!" Iron Will shouted. "It's settled then!" proclaimed Twilight, "Now, how about Hoity Toity be Skirtsen Explosions, who travelled with the Second Doctor, and Dr. Red Cross go with Cadence as Medical Mystery?" (Skirtsen Explosions was what the Ponies called Victoria, and Medical Mystery was the Pony name of Molly O'Sullivan) Twilight continued "Spike will go with me as Ace. It's the Doctor they want..." Twilight added a touch of menace to the following: "...it's the Doctor they'll get." "What about the Great and Powerful Trixie?" Twilight realized that she forgot all about Trixie, but had no assignment for her! Nor did she want to give her any, as of all the Ponies, Trixie would be the one who would most likely screw it up. "You'll, um... ...stay and um.... ....fly the TARDIS!" Twilight said, gesturing her hoof to the whole library, the center of which was altered to resemble a classic Whooves TARDIS console. "You also can use your amazing powers to protect all of the remaining Refugees!" Much to Twilight's relief, Trixie accepted the role: "The Great and Powerful, Sixth Doctor, can fly the Great and Powerful TARDIS better than any other Great and Powerful pony!" Twilight simply thought: Do you hear that sound Trixie? That's the sound of Gentle Heart pointing and laughing at you. "Get out Rainbow Dash, we need you. Now." Twilight grabbed Rainbow Dash out of the large bowl of custard with her magic. "But Twilight! I wasn't finished yet!" Before they left, Sukhbataar had something to say to Rainbow Dash: "Listen, if...if do this...I would like to have you over for dinner...in my place..." "Sure! I would love to eat you for dinner again! You taste good with custard! I'll be you'll taste good with gravy too!" "No no no, I didn't mean ME for dinner (though frankly, that doesn't bother me much), I meant, you eating a proper meal for all of us, over at my home, on one of the days when Scootaloo comes over to see me." "Oh". That was her only response, but there was some looking away and some blushing on her part, yet a simple and almost unreadable expression, but it ended with a small and sheepish smile. Soarin' seized the opportunity, and began: "Rainbow, you can eat me with custard any time!" "B'aww! Thanks Soarin'!" "Well, too bad!" Shouted Twilight, "You're going with Applejack, Soarin'! As Roseluck!" (Roseluck was the Pony name for Rose Tyler) Then Derpy turned to all of her companions and said "When I say 'muffins'....MUFFINS!!!" At this, all her companions pretended to understand, though alas, they did not. "Now let's go out...and take a first step into the greatest risk we probably all ever took." ******************* Within the spa, there was a simple hoof making a simple sound... tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap. "Oh, my dear Doctor, you have been naive..." ===== Closing theme to today's episode: Youtube Video The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 7: The Plot ThickensThe Opening theme to today's episode: Youtube Video ======================= Overwhelmed by pressure at all ends, Twilight ultimately made a decision: "Fine, you win...But this should NOT be the first resort. Give me time to get the Dalek Cyborgs to reject the mutants inside." "NO!" Iron Will shouted. "Yes, that's my girl!" Spike proclaimed. Fluttershy, who was also there, had a different opinion: "I...DON'T...THINK SO!" She said softly but firmly. Twilight protested "What, Flutters, but you-" "Who was the one that told me it was the helpless that needed to be defended, even if they were evil Twilight, who?!!?" "I wouldn't call the Daleks helpless, Darling." Rarity retorted. "They can't help that they have evil beasts in them that enslave them to kill!" "I'll give you about an hour, maybe less." Rarity went on, ignoring Fluttershy. "I'm not letting you!" squealed Fluttershy. With a heavy sigh, Twilight added, :"Go ahead Rarity. We'll save what few Daleks we can until the time is up." "Twilight, be a dear and help me figure out the best way to install the Boron, would you Darling?" "Why, sure Rarity! How about you crush it into a nice, fine powder?" "How about, you crush this plan and help us free the cyborgs from their mutant masters?" asked Fluttershy. "Fluttershy, go save some Daleks" ordered Twilight "I'll help you when I can. But for now, I have to get a weapon to stop whatever Daleks refuse to rebell." "Ooh! that would be lovely! And then we put it in the fans!" Fancy Pants managed to used a skeleton key to undo the lock on the door: "There! That ought to do it!" "You-you SELL-OUT!!" squeaked Fluttershy. "But-" Spitfire tried to protest, but Fluttershy cut her off. "WE'RE LEAVING!" Twilight was severely troubled at this; Fluttershy was her dear friend, who always meant well. Iron Will was too; he didn't think Twilight could cave in under pressure from just a small handful of loud voices. But that was life, he supposed. "That's good, I suppose." Twilight said miserably. Iron Will saw how she felt, and knew why; he laid a sympathetic hand on her shoulder. "You know, when you feel like you've made a mistake, you should move on and accept it, life's yours to make!" Twilight, her eyes somewhat glassy, perhaps from suppressed tears, gave Iron Will a small hug. They then all walked through the open spa doors, and to their suprise, the lights were all on, and it was quiet.... ....too quiet. "Okay, let's just find all the fans and get out of here!" Shining exclaimed. "First, take the Boron shard, put each one in a separate bag, and crush them all!" Twilight said. Rarity was prepared, and gave several plastic baggies to Shining, who put a Boron shard in one and squashed each of them. They walked through the spa, finding every fan there they could find. Some of the ceiling fans were turned off individually by Spike and Iron Will, and then Twilight and Shining put the bags on them with their magic. Then there was a clapping of hooves: "Bravo, Doctors and Companions, you have done so well so far." "SOMBRA!" "No, not Sombra; the Master." Twilight then noticed that Sombra's attire resembled that of the first Master to be seen onscreen. "Sombra, what are you doing here?" "It's the Master, and really, it's all for you, Doctor; didn't you miss our old times together? Me and you? There I was, wrecking havoc throughout the Universe, but you often weren't there! I was afraid that...that-" Twilight then finished his thought: "We weren't coming?" Twilight understood; the Master always had complicated feelings for the Doctor; he was the Doctor's best friend as a child, and often needed to turn to the Doctor for his personal problems, for there was nopony else for him; because of this relationship, depending on the incarnation, the Master often felt either brotherly love or a sexual passion for the Doctor, and committed atrocities to be with the Doctor again, since the TARDIS was often drawn to danger, the Master figured that by making the danger, he could get the Doctor back. "Doctor...it's terribly good to see you again..." the Sombra-Master said, using one hoof to caress Twilight, and the other to caress Rarity. "Ah, female; I like females, females are cool; maybe now we can- we can really be together." Twilight's inner Hoovian suddenly kicked in: "Ohhh, my Master...." (Spike had an expression at pure shock at this) but it was followed shortly by her common sense "Wait! No, no, no, no, no! You kill Ponies!!" Rarity, on the other hand, pushed the Master's hoof away gently, and then, seeing him distracted by Twilight, suddenly took the opportunity to seize a sword and lunge at him. "You unhand her, fiend! And you also stop the Daleks and the Cyberponies!" The Sombra-Master simply smiled, picked up a rapier of his own, and said: "I missed our little games." Then the duel began: They pushed very hard on each other's rapiers, which Sombra had purposefully left to be found by whatever Doctor was there to find it. Sombra pushed hard enough to have Rarity collapse on a short table nearby, and then he tried vicious strikes on her, but she dodged each one, until she rolled off and then had her rapier at his throat. "You know," Rarity began, "I always felt that violent exercise always makes me rather hungry!" she said, plucking a sandwich from a nearby tray "wouldn't you agree?" The Master/Sombra was not in any mood for games, however. "Raauugh!" he yelled as he lunged at Rarity. Rarity countered this with her sabre, but Sombra then pushed so hard with his body that he knocked Rarity on a table; soon, his sword was ever nearing Rarity's throat "I rather liked the incarnation you called 'The Fourth Doctor' anyway!" he said. ================ The Imperial Dalek was ever nearer to Applejack, and then it shouted "EX-TER-" but it heard something that made it stop (or rather, received a Dalek pathweb message). It turned around and joined two other Imperial Daleks. Applejack signaled for the U.N.I.T. soldiers to follow her at a safe distance. She saw what was the source of the commotion: "Urinating on an officer's foot. Is forbidden!" "Smawtyy dun' cawe, Smawty nu wike yu!" "Crime! Insubordination! Charge! Guilty! Sentence: Execution!" Before the Judoon leader could fire at the Fluffy Ponies, he was shot by a powerful electron blast. "EX-TEERR-MIN-AAATE!!!!" a pale Dalek shouted. "Fo Ro Sho Go!" A Judoon officer shouted to his subordinates: He then did away with the Smarty Friend while the rest of them were shooting at the Daleks. There were about three Imperial Daleks and at least three times as many Judoon; The Dalek shields held up for a while under the blasts, except for the one who was at the very front; his shield was destroyed and thus he died, but the Judoon were reduced to less than half by the time that happened. Realizing he could only hope for a Pyrrihic victory at best, the Judoon commander ordered the few survivors he had to retreat. Applejack then saw the remains of the Imperial Dalek, and saw a scorched Fluffy Pony right in front of them. "Hmm..." her mind began to work like lightning. One of the Daleks that killed many Judoon, who also happened to be the same one that threatened the U.N.I.T. troops earlier, began to say "NOW, WHERE WAS I? OH, YES..." then he turned towards Applejack: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!" That wasn't all. Then more Imperial Daleks came at that moment: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!" they all shouted. Luckily, Applejack now knew what to do: "Ya better not talk that way, or I'm givin' you the Sorry Stick!" Then the Imperial Daleks all backed away for a moment. Applejack decided to continue: "Ah really mean it! Ah'm really pissed right now! Go to your rooms, or get the Sorry Stick!" "NO, NOT THE BROOM HAN-DLE!!" the Imperial Daleks all shouted. "AHHH!!!" And then they all glided far away from her. "Ah'm glad that worked, because those would have been dreadful last words!" But connecting the weak Fluffy Brain with complete Pony brains and battle-strategy computers caused a Dalek to realize something: "CAN A BROOM HAN-DLE REAL-LY HURT DAAL-EK AR-MOR?" "Well uh-" "DO YOU E-VEN HAVE A BROOM HAN-DLE?" "Ahh..." Applejack found lying rather difficult. Then all the Imperial Daleks gathered in a circle around them once again: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! EX-TEERR-MIN-AAATE!!!!" ================ Fluttershy left in a wordless huff, not saying a word to her companions, and they not saying a word to her. Then, Spitfire suddenly had to go...and she was starting to panic! ...then, at that moment, it appeared...on its own! An outhouse, in a junkyard. "Be right back" she said. When she opened the "Outhouse" door, she couldn't help but suddenly wet the floor behind her. "Look what you did to my nice carpits!" Trixie exclaimed. Spitfire was speechless.... ....it was bigger on the inside! ================ Bon-Bon asked "So, what now Lyra?" "We have to get the Daleks to follow us, and maybe the rest of the lot if we have to." "But...how?" asked Cadence, but she feared she knew the answer. Pinkie Pie knew too, and so she hopped up on a flag pole, and shouted through a loudspeaker "Hey! You Daleks! I'm the Doctor! Come and exterminate me!" The dark Daleks all gathered 'round the flag pole, and then, one of them appeared to be scanning her, and then turned to the others and said: "CON-FIRMED TO BE A TIME LORD AND A GEN-ER-A-TION FOUR PO-NY!!" "BUT HOW IS THAT POS-SI-BLE?" "UN-CER-TAIN. IS THIS CRE-TURE WOR-THY FOR THE FI-NAL EX-PER-I-MENT??" The leader of the Dalek squad then glided a short distance from the rest; the ponies didn't know it, but it was sending a private pathweb message to its superior officers. Then it glided back... "YES!" ================ As the door was left open, Sweetie Belle walked out, overcome by the sheer curiosity of the outside world... ...Naturally, she was dissapointed that it was pretty much the same as the the one she knew, and that it was probably no other place than the Ponyville junkyard, a place where she tried to get her Cutie Mark many times, and many times, got chased away for trespassing. ...On the plus side, as she knew this place, she could be comfortable with departing, which she did. She saw who appeared to be Octavia Philharmonica Melody herself, which made her feel better about going out of the TARDIS. ================ Discord chuckled as he brought all the officers into the remains of town hall to "strategize". Oh my dear Doctor, you have been naive, he thought. They all gathered around chairs around a smashed table. "Today," Discord announced, "we begin federal work!" With that, he took a bunch of papers and through them in the air, letting them sink gently down to the ground. "Okay Discord, very funny" said a Brigadier General "but now is not the time for very accurate jokes like that one; there's pony lives at stake!" "Of, course, I know, and I have just the thing..." Discord pulled out a gas mask: "Are you my mummy?" he quipped. "What's with the gas mask?" a Captain asked. "Becaf ov da gaf" "I'm sorry?" Discord removed the mask from his mouth: "It's because of the gas." "What gas?" Then Discord said more clearly, though a gas mask he still wore, "This gas!" Seeing them all choke, Discord cackled and said "NO BREATHING!!" "But *wheeze*" the one-star General went, "Celestia made you promise-" "Celestia made me promise nothing: I am not using magic, and I am not Discord." With his last breath, a leiutanent yelled: "WHO...ARE...YOooouuuu..." he close with a wheeze. Seeing as he was the only survivor, the Discord who wasn't Discord walked up to him and said: "I am...the Master." And with that, he crushed his skull with his hoof. After they all passed, some Zygons came... "Now, it's time for you all to take their places...." The Zygons rather liked this order, and as the smiled evilly, they took the forms of the officers. And then Discord tapped the table with a finger: tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap.... ==================== Youtube Video
Forward: The Eleven DoctorsThe Doctor; he walks in eternity. He's like fire, and ice, and rage. He is a madman gallomphing in a box. He is the Oncoming Storm...and he's wonderful. He may be a fiction, but well-known, popular, and even somewhat relevant fiction, even in realities apart from our own.... ====================== Twilight Sparkle adjusted her Safari hat to complete the costume she arranged for herself: She looked in the mirror, and saw none other than the Seventh Doctor from the show, Doctor Whooves. She was very proud of how hard she worked to get her cosplay together, though the Fourth, Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Doctors would have all been preferred by her; however, all her friends insisted that she was the Seventh, so that's who she dressed as. She was so excited about this day that she sent a letter to Princess Celestia discussing all of the details about her favorite show and how all of her friends were going as different characters themselves. Spike went dressed as Elvis, which seemed to go against Twilight's costume, but it was okay for Twilight that he did so. They went right out the door to meet their friends, who also agreed with Twilight to cosplay as the many incarnations of the Doctor: Most of her friends were Hoovians now. It was a most especially beautiful Nightmare Night, and the sun had yet to fully set, so there was lights of red and orange all over Ponyville, and all the spider-webs and glittering costumes reflected the sun like the morning dew. Mayor Mare was now dressed as Wonder Mare, the band was playing on the stage behind her, mostly themes associated with family friendly Nightmare Night films and Mirror Stallion, the pony name for the artist that we would typically call Michael Jackson. When the background band finished playing, Octavia Melody was on break, and she was one of Twilight's friends whom she invited to dress as an incarnation of the Doctor. Octavia Melody went as the First Doctor, who was played by Moonshine (The thespian Pony that was called "William Hartnell" in the human world, and alas, his cutie mark was a bottle for alcohol, which his name also seems to reflect): She was rather obsessive about watching everything in order, and against Twilight's advice, she started with the First Doctor. Twilight was impressed that Octavia was such a huge fan of him, for she herself wasn't and neither were most of her friends. Ditzellia Esmeralda Derpy Doo Hooves, often interchangeably known as "Ditzy" or "Derpy", was dressed as the Second Doctor, who was played by Comic Genius (the pony name and equivalent of Patrick Troughton, complete with the comedy mask Cutie Mark), complete with recorder. Rarity went as the Third Doctor, (who was played by Smart Mouth, the pony version of Jon Pertwee) whom she found gentlemanly and classy, though she crushed strongly on the Tenth and would rather go as him, but alas! There was only one Pony suitable to be the Tenth. "The Third is a true gentlecolt anyway" she would say to comfort herself. Lyra Heartstrings wore the garb of the Fourth Doctor, played by Tough Cookie (the Pony name of Tom Baker, which unfortunately seemed to refer to how he was often overly assertive: His Cutie Mark was a a big frowny face, and his coat was used on the show to hide this Cutie Mark), complete with scarf and grin! She was, however, doing something most uncharacteristic of the Fourth Doctor: "NO! THESE ARE MY JELLY FILLIES!!!". Fluttershy was dressed as the Fifth Doctor (played by Softly Spoken, their version of Peter Davison, who had a Cutie Mark of what appeared to be a gentle flowing parchment of paper), because "he seems like such a nice Pony", as she always said. As far as Twilight knew, nobody was going as the Sixth Doctor (who was played by Gentle Heart, the pony that we would call, "Colin Baker", whom though he tended to play meanies, was actually a very nice stallion in real life, and his Cutie Mark was actually a really cute Teddy Bear with a heart on its belly, as his special talent was just being sweet in real life (it had to be hidden on the show by his coat because his character was really mean), and Twilight always thought that it was a terrible shame he never played as himself too terribly often on Doctor Whooves)...until Trixie walked by, wearing the distinctive coat. Twilight was not close to her, and was surprised that Trixie chose to wear that....thing....when by coincidence, all of Twilight's friends happened to be dressed as other Doctors. Twilight was also surprised when her brother and his wife Cadence showed up, the latter in cosplay of..."The Eighth Doctor!" Twilight exclaimed. "Twily! I got your letter!" "So you know all about the Doctor Whooves cosplay?" "Yes Twily! And Cadence and I found the Doctor Whooves movie on Hooflix, and...well...I don't really see the appeal, except for Doctor Whooves himself." Twilight defended by saying: "It's just the Doctor, and while the movie was merely passable except for the main star, who exceeds all expectations, it does not reflect most of the TV series!" "Wait, this thing has a TV series?" Twilight sighed and groaned: "Shining, what planet have you been living on?!" "Well, I liked it!" cooed Cadence, "and I dressed as the Main!" "Awesome! We needed an Eighth Doctor!" But Shining Armor had no idea what she was talking about: "Wait...there are EIGHT of these guys?" Twilight groaned again and tried to not kill her brother, and to do so, she should have to spend some time with her best friend. Twilight was none too surprised to see her best friend Applejack as the Ninth Doctor, who was played by Dramatic Darkness (the Pony name of whom WE would call "Christopher Eccleston"). What did surprise her, however, was this: "Applejack...you cut your mane!" "Ah know Sugarcube, dontcha lahk it?" Her new Mane was cut short all around except for some bit of her bangs and bits of the sides of her mane, which she wore down. She also wore the Ninth Doctor's leather jacket. "Like it....I love it!" Twilight exclaimed. Spike still had some criticism up his sleeve (which he did also currently have, as he was wearing a leather jacket): "Shouldn't you change your voice a bit to match your Doctor more?" "Spike!" shouted Twilight, but Applejack simply chuckled and had a good retort: "Well, Ah reckon every planet's got a south, dontcha think Sugarcube?" Spike tried to object: "Well..." he began, but he realized he couldn't really argue with that. "Spike, you're lucky Applejack is capable of comebacks, because seriously-" but before Twilight could even finish, she was pounced on by none other than Pinkie Pie! Pinkie Pie was the Tenth Doctor, (who was played by the Equestrian version of David Tennant, Theater Frenzy) which she had no problem with: "I'm the Doctor! I'm excited, are you excited too? Great! Who wants to sing the Doctor Whooves theme? Bu-ba-bumm, bu-ba-bummmmm...." Rainbow Dash was dressed as the Eleventh Doctor, who was played by Innocent Face, which she was compared to a lot; however, she greatly preferred the Ninth Doctor. "I like leather jackets" she would say poutily, "leather jackets are cool". However, this form of protest only proved her friends' point all the further. So there she was in tweed and bowtie, with a fez to cap it all. "At least the fez makes me 20% cooler" she would say. Her mane was even reminiscent of the Eleventh Doctor's mane, which it was so naturally. As she had already greeted her brother and his wife, and later her best friend, Twilight decided to ask why Trixie was also dressed as an incarnation of the Doctor: "Hello, um Trixie...You see...Me and many of my friends are dressed as different incarnations of the Doctor...it's an awesome coincidence that you complete the collection...so...how did you know?" Trixie snorted: "The Great and Powerful Trixie was not aware of you and your friends masquerading as all the inferior Doctors. With or without that decision of yours, Trixie would have dressed as him anyway." "Then, why him? Don't get me wrong, Gentle Heart is a great Stallion, but why did that incarnation of the Doctor make such a powerful impact on you??" "Because when the Great and Powerful Trixie was young, she did not have Great and Powerful Friendships. Every Great and Powerful Saturday Morning, after some Great and Powerful botched attempt to make the other foals see her greatness, Trixie would come to her Great and Powerful Doorstep, and with Great and Powerful sobs, would weep Great and Powerful tears. Her Great and Powerful mother would make her a Great and Powerful cup of cocoa and let Trixie weep while drinking it on her Great and Powerful lap; as it was always a Great and Powerful afternoon, together, they would watch the Great and Powerful show, Doctor Whooves. The Great and Powerful Gentle Heart was the Doctor the Great and Powerful Trixie grew up with, and he will always be her Great and Powerful Doctor!" "Yeah...okay then..." Twilight said uncomfortably, and she decided to go to her main social group, as she could not think of anything to say to Trixie. While trotting towards her friends, Twilight hummed the Doctor Whooves theme and wished very hard that the Doctor was real, that the TARDIS was real, the companions were real, and even all the monsters were real: It would account for a far more interesting world than the one she resided in. As Twilight caught up to her friends, she heard them in conversation: "Ah'm sorry Rainbow Dash, but yer more Eleventh Doctor than any pony here ever could be, sugarcube." "I don't care! I hate young guys! Young guys are rubbish!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "You DO realize that's something the Eleventh Doctor would say, don't you dear?" inquired Rarity. "What is it with you an' older gahs anyway Rainbow Dash...ya lahk that Soarin' feller, and also that Sukhbataar cowpoke, an' they're both nearly thirty, but yer barely over twenty!" "Well, frankly, young guys SUCK!" growled Rainbow Dash. "Oh really, Darling? What do you make of this?" Rarity pulled out a picture of Hugh Hoofner and his latest fiance. "What is wrong with THIS picture, Rainbow Dash?" "Uhh, he's fat?" Rainbow said. "I don't like fat guys. Fat guys are rubbish." "Well, yes dearie, but what else is wrong?" "Who is he anyway?" ask Rainbow Dash. "He's Hugh Hoofner, Sugarcube." "Oh! The founder of Playcolt! Yes! He's also a chauvinist! That's what's wrong with that picture!" Applejack replied "Well, that too, but what else sugarcube?" "I don't know..." Rainbow Dash began "...that's really all I can think of." "He's too old fer his fiance, Rainbow, donchatcha think?" " No he's not! ...actually, he would be cute, if he weren't such a fat chauvinist!" "Heeheehee! Oh Rainbow Dash, they have Doctors for this kind of thing...wait...that's While You were Sleeping!" giggled Pinkie Pie. "Shut up....they do?" Rainbow Dash inquired "Oh wait, yeah! There's the Ninth Doctor, and the arguably the Fourth!" "Not that Doctor, Sugarcube." "She means a psychiatrist, Darling." "No way! I'm way too cool for psychiatric treatment!" "Did your Daddy love you?" Fluttershy asked. "What?!" shrieked Rainbow Dash. Twilight decided to intervene: "Oh come on, girls, you know everypony is entitled to their own tastes-" but she was cut off by something shocking. From nowhere, a single cry pierced the air, and all paused at it: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!!!!" They all knew that cry altogether too well...or at least, Twilight and her friends did; most everypony else assumed it was part of this year's performance, and so they all clapped and cheered. And with no other warning than that, the Daleks invaded Ponyville, sending their electric rays upon the Pony populace. And, as this is a book with no soundtrack, imagine this playing (there will be a different variation this theme for each chapter): Youtube Video
Prologue: The Eleven DoctorsThe Theme to today's episode: Youtube Video =============================== "WHAT DO WE DO?!" shrieked Rainbow Dash. Twilight answered: "We have to find shelter and tell Princess Celestia: Hurry!" So they all ran: Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Derpy, Lyra, Octavia, Trixie, Cadence, Shining Armor, Spike, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. They ran far and fast, but they made a sharp stop when their path was blocked by a single, lone figure: It was Pipsqeak. However, something was wrong, as he was standing perfectly still and wearing a gas mask. There was a silence that was broken by this: "Are you my mummy?" They all knew very well what that meant: "RUN!!!!" And so they did! Then they tried running into the nearby smithy, but there were screams coming from there, and they soon knew why: "You. will be. upgraded. You will. be. like us." The Cyberponies were performing their sick surgeries on many Pony victims to make them Cyberponies like themselves. They bolted, and ran, hoping to evade detection, but they were a mere seconds from being too late: "Hostile Elements. Will be. Deleted. DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!" luckily, they evaded the blasts that the Cyberponies fired upon them and ran to the next corner. It was there, however, that they saw more Daleks. There was a long pause on both sides, before a commanding Dalek rolled forward, and after scanning them for a while, and proceeded to interrogate them: "WHAT IS YOUR PUR-POSE IN FLEE-ING?" Twilight was about to give a sarcastic response about how she wasn't aware that running was not a natural reaction to being threatened death, but she was cut off by Trixie: "Beware Daleks, for the Great! And Powerful! Doctor! Is here!" "DOC-TOR.....THE DOC-TOR???" "...Ten Million years of absolute power, that's what it takes to be really corrupt!" Trixie continued. Lyra was swift to correct: "Actually, it would be about one thousand years in the case of the Daleks." Then the Dalek commander came to his troops to give this speech: "A-LERT! A-LERT! MUL-TI-PLE BE-INGS MAT-CHING ALL KNOWN RE-GEN-ER-A-TIONS OF THE DOC-TOR HAVE BEEN SIGH-TED!" "Way to go, genius" groaned Octavia. Then he turned around, and all the Daleks repeated what he said "A-LERT! A-LERT!" they all shouted. "ALL U-NITS CON-VERGE TO AR-E-A F-8-5-H-8-6 TO EX-TER-MIN-ATE THE DOC-TOR!!!!!!" "WE O-BEY! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!!" "I know!" exclaimed Twilight "Fluttershy's cottage!" They ran there, loosing the Daleks in the overgrowth that surrounded the place. But what greeted them there was most surprising: Apparently the Sontarans were recruiting Fluttershy's animals to be part of their foreign legion. "Sontar-Ha! Sontar-Ha! Sontar-Ha! Sontar-Ha!" they all shouted, with Angel Bunny cheerfully partaking the pounding of the fist into the hand that went with the Sontaran war chant, and smiling broadly as he did so. Fluttershy was initially shocked to see this (though at least to see Angel act as a wanna-be Sontaran scarcely surprised the rest). "Oh no, they brainwashed Angel!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "I don't think they brainwashed him, Fluttershy" Rainbow Dash replied. Rainbow Dash was proven right by the Sontaran commander giving this speech: "Most of these animals are worthy for the Sontaran Foreign Legion, but this Lagomorph-" he began, raising Angel Bunny's paw "-this Lagomorph, is worthy of being a true Sontaran!" All the while, Angel was smiling broadly. As Fluttershy's cottage was clearly no longer an option, and as Fluttershy was now weeping so very bitterly, they went for the Carousel Boutique...but it was being invaded by Silurians! "Here, the Silurians shall rebuild their civilization!" Rarity had a different opinion: "Oh dear, you simply cannot destroy Pony civilization wearing that. You should try this! Oh, don't worry dear, I'm good at this!" She said, removing the mismatching outfit the Silurian assembled from random clothes at the Boutique, and making a newer and better outfit for the Silurian. "Ta-daa! What do you think?" Another Silurian had a prompt response to that: "You know what I think? I think that it is unnecessary to claim what rightfully belongs to the Silurians!" But the Silurian that Rarity dressed had a different opinion: "Actually, I think it really brings out my character..." "I told you I was good!" Rarity chimed cheerfully, but Twilight pulled her away from blasts from Silurians guns. They went to the balloon yard with hopes of going to Cloudsdale, but then there was a pale, tall, slim figure, with hardly any mouth and dark, deep-set eyes standing there. Then the ponies ran from it as quickly as they could...but then they forgot it was there, and ran back to the balloon yard, and then ran away from it again. This cycle repeated itself for at least a good 15 minutes. "Why...*huff* am I so tired..." Twilight asked? "Ah dunno, but the balloon yard's *huff* bad mojo, Sugarcube" "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!!!" "Come on!" shouted Twilight. So they ran to the cemetary, which was hopefully filled with many Ponies celebrating the Day of the Dead late. However, though they were right to assume that there were no ghouls there, there was something else: Standing all alone in the clearing, a lone, tall firgure stood still. Perfectly still. "DON'T BLINK!!!!!!!!!!!!" shrieked Pinkie Pie. They couldn't walk into a cemetery with a Weeping Angel in it...or could they? "I have an idea: We must walk through the cemetary, but one pony must keep eyes on the Weeping Angel the entire time" Twilight said. Pinkie Pie yelped "I'm on it!" Pinkie walked backwards the entire time staring at the Angel, but the Daleks were closing in on them. "Pinkie, I'll watch the Angel now" said Rainbow Dash. Twilight said: "I have an idea! Let the Daleks come closer, and when I say go...stop watching the Angel." "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" the Daleks shouted. "Twilight...they're getting closer!" yelled Lyra. "And...now!" They all jumped out of the cemetary, releasing the Angel from its bondage of being seen. The Daleks paid no attention to the Angel, proceeding focused solely on the Ponies...and this single mindedness they paid for dearly. "THE DOC-TORS HAVE VA-NISHED FROM VI-SI-BIL-I-TY!! COM-MENCE SEARCH!" "I O-BEY!!!" "AC-TI-VATE FOG-LIGHTS!" "I O-BEY!" The Ponies saw the white lights of the Daleks beam over the wall, and they ducked low to avoid them. Dalek T54K67 had beamed his foglights over as much of the cemetary as he could cover, and he saw nothing unusual, save a single, Angelic statue that stood alone, shielding its eyes, as though it were weeping. Such superstitious and sentimental beings, ponies were. He felt a strange uncomforability as he realized his companions were several paces away from him, and seemed to feel...odd...at the thought of encountering multiple Doctors all by himself. What was this feeling? Fear? No, the Daleks felt no fear, they were the supreme beings of the Multiverse! It had finished its scan of the area of the graveyard, and as it found not one single Doctor, it felt some kind of calm. Relief? No, Daleks did not feel relief, because Daleks know no fear....right? It sent a message to its fellow Dalek troops: "DAL-EK G-8-4-M-0-2, THIS IS DAL-EK T-5-4-K-6-7, I HAVE FI-NISHED SCAN-NING MY AS-SIGNED RE-GION! DO YOU CO-PY? O-VER!!" There was no answer...... "DAL-EK G-8-4-M-0-2, THIS IS DAL-EK T-5-4-K-6-7, DO YOU READ ME? O-VER!!" Still no response. "DAL-EK D-8-3-O-9-5, THIS IS DAL-EK T-5-4-K-6-7, DAL-EK G-8-4-M-0-2'S COM-MUN-I-CA-TOR IS BRO-KEN, HE MUST BE SENT BACK TO BASE! IM-ME-DI-ATE-LY!! IM-ME-DI-ATE-LY!!" But there was no "I O-BEY" from Dalek D83O95. So Dalek T54K67 began to scan the entire cemetery, and much to the strange, uncomfortable feelings that surely must be blasphemous for a Dalek to feel, he was all alone, just him and that Angel statue. The Angel statue... ...It had moved since Dalek T54K67 last scanned it. No, that can't be right. Something must have been wrong with Dalek T54K67's processing units. But then Dalek T54K67 scanned the cemetery, and came across a gruesome sight: The remains of a Dalek. He was now on guard. "DAL-EK T54K67 TO BASE, RE-QUES-TING BACK-UP: I HAVE CAUSE TO BE-LIEVE THAT THE DOC-TOR IS HERE EX-TER-MIN-A-TING OUR FEL-LOW DAL-EKS..." He was relieved when he got an "I O-BEY" response over his communicator. NO! Daleks never needed to feel relief! Dalek T54K67 was a good Dalek, and he felt no fear! To prove himself correct, he turned on his loudspeakers, and shouted: "DOC-TOR! SHOW YOUR-SELF!!! I KNOW THAT YOU ARE HERE!!!" But there was no response...And what was creepier still, was that he found the remains of another Dalek...But he only found those remains plus the ones he found earlier. There were six Daleks that stormed the cemetery. One lived, two were exterminated, but the other three...seemed to just vanish...into nothing... He was alone. And there were no other Daleks, no Doctors, just himself and the Angel statue... THE ANGEL STATUE!!!! It had moved again! And it was uncomfortably close to Dalek T54K67. That was far more than Dalek T54K67 could possibly bear. "THIS IS DAL-EK T-5-4-K-6-7!! I AM RE-QUES-TING IM-ME-DI-ATE BACK-UP!! O-BEY!!! O-BEYY OOOOBEEEYYYYY- AUGH!! I'VE BEEN EX-TER-MIN-A-" There was a pause. And the static of his message ended there. The Weeping Angel enjoyed playing with her prey. First she fed off the temporal energy of the first 3 Daleks she caught, sending them into other places of time and space, but then she decided that as she was full, she would stalk and kill her other targets...just for fun... There was a long silence. Twilight peeked over the stone wall...and the Daleks were gone. Only the Angel remained. "Hurry, before the Angel stirs again!" StarSong heard a doorbell ring, and she so she opened the door expecting foals asking for candy. Naturally, she was more than slightly surprised when this sight greeted her instead: "NIGHT-MARE NIGHT! EX-TER-MIN-ATE! COME ON OUT AND MEET YOUR FATE!!!!" StarSong was not too keen on "meeting her fate", so she quite rudely slammed the door in the Daleks' faces, to which they did not take to kindly. "AC-TI-VATE HIGH PRES-SURE VAC-UUM TUBES" "I O-BEY." Then the seemingly silly suction cups of the Daleks right arms proved their true purpose: One of them was placed firmly on the door to Berry Punch's house, and then there was a sucking sound that ended with a small thud. The Dalek proceeded to tear out the door as gingerly as a Dalek could, and this allowed the rest to roll into her house: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! AN-NI-HIL-ATE!! DES-TROOOOOOOYYYYYY!!!" After some brief flashes of light, the Daleks exterminated StarSong. Meanwhile, Dalek X85D60 decided to dispose of the door and intended to exterminate an undesirable pony at the same time. Its eystalk found just the pony, and thus it jettisoned the door onto the head of the pony from the cliff on which the Dalek was positioned. Toola-Roola was trotting peacefully, unaware of all the monsters that were now attacking Ponyville. That is, until a door fell on her head. "AC-KNOWL-EDGE IT! NO-PO-NY LIKES GEN-ER-A-TION THREE POINT FIVE!!! ...UN-LESS A VE-RY MIN-TY CHRIST-MAS COUNTS, AND THAT WAS AL-MOST ITS OWN U-NI-VERSE!!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE THE WORST PO-NIES!!!!" "HEY! Breaking the Fourth Wall is MY gag!" Screamed Pinkie Pie, but Twilight covered her mouth before she could continue. The Daleks were also surrounding the City Hall, forcing Mayor Mare into a corner: "Wha-, wha-, what do you want??" she wimpered. "WE ARE SEARCH-ING FOR THE ONE WHO AD-DRESSES HER-SELF AS THE DOC-TOR: CAN YOU I-DEN-TI-FY HER?" The Ponies who cosplayed as the Doctor had all peeked from over the corner of a nearby building. "Her? But Ah thought the Doctor was a gah!" "Shh, quiet Applejack!" hissed Twilight. "THE DOC-TOR HAS CHANGED HIS SEX TO E-VADE THE DAL-EKS, BUT THIS COW-ARD-LY MOVE WILL NOT FOOL US. HE WILL BE EX-TER-MIN-AT-ED!!!" Then all the Daleks shouted "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" over and over again like chant or a mantra. The Ponies knew that now was a good time to leave, so they rushed to Twilight's house, the only available shelter they could find.... When they were in Twilight's house, Derpy went to the top floor and observed that the monsters were turning Ponyville into a labyrinth of machines and monstrosities "Looks like they've been doing Ponyville up a bit...hm, I don't like it." ================== The Closing theme for today's episode: Youtube Video Coming soon...Chapter 1
The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 1: The DecisionThe Theme to today's episode: Youtube Video =================== While Derpy was looking at how Ponyville was morphing, Twilight Sparkle was leaving her door open to accomodate more refugees, and blasting any approaching monsters with her magic. The Daleks were none too keen on this: "YOU WILL COME OUT IN-TO THE O-PEN, DOC-TOR!!!" "Why, so I can just let you kill me?" The Daleks responded by shooting some warning blasts of their electric rays. "Twahlaht, the Dahleks are gettin' closer!" "Hurry Twily! Put up the magic shield!" Twilight was initially reluctant to do so, as she hoped to accomodate more refugees, but she realized that if she left her house un-shielded for much longer, then the Daleks would come, exterminate all the ponies in there, and it would have all been for nought. So with a heavy heart, she put up her inpenetrable magic shield, which destroyed and killed all Daleks within it, and kept all the remaining Daleks out. Among the refugees were Sukhbataar and Harley, both possible fathers of Scootaloo. They were not a gay couple, but rather, were seduced by the same mare, Corvette, often known as "Little Red", at some point in their life, and they actually had only grudging respect for each other. Other than that, and the fact that they were Pegasi who were nearly 30 with orange coats and frequently subject to Rainbow's affections, which they both enjoyed as she was so much nicer than Corvette, they were tremendously different: Harley was a scroungy biker, whereas Sukhbataar was a soft-spoken scientist. Harley was a typical Pony, and Sukhbataar was a entirely different race, a Przewalski's Horse. Harley was from nearby Hoofston, and Sukhbataar came all the way from Przewalskia. Harley grew his pale mane long, but Sukh kept his dark mane short. Harley was talkative, and Sukhbataar was quiet. Harley went as a slasher for Nightmare Night, and Sukhbataar went as Sheerluck (Pony Sherlock). Harley was always in barfights, and Sukhbataar was always a model citizen. Needless to say, Scootaloo liked Harley better, which made Sukhbataar feel sad, because he truly did love Scootaloo and had little family than her. It was, however, perhaps a bit of a comfort that Rainbow Dash apparently liked Sukh better than Harley, for reasons that so far, only Rainbow knows, assuming she could understand herself. There was also Snips, who was dressed as a Sheltie (an MLP Hobbit), who was distressed because his friend Snails was outside, Fancy Pants, who was dressed in masquerade attire, Soarin', who was dressed as Han Solo, and also all of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Lyra saw Scootaloo crying because her mother was not among the refugees, and Scootaloo knew perfectly well what would most likely happen to Ponies who were out when there were Daleks and Cyberponies about: Death or Assimilation. Lyra observed and despite usually being socially awkward, she knew, concluded that now was a time not to act like Tough Cookie...but now was a perfect time to act like the pony Tough Cookie always aspired to be, the Fourth Doctor: "Would you like a Jelly Filly?" she asked. Scootaloo took a Jelly Filly, but had a hard time chewing and swallowing it because she was still sobbing intensely. Lyra could not cheer up the filly so easily, but then she saw Doctor Red Cross, and she had an idea. "You're a Doctor, right?" "Yes, that's right, I'm the Doctor-" "No you're not! You're a Doctor, but you're not THE Doctor! I'm THE Doctor, the definite article you might say!" Then, Lyra picked up a jump rope and swung it over Dr. Red Cross' head, forcing him to jump with her, thus Lyra started up a chant: "Mother! Mother! I feel sick! Send for the Doctor, quick quick quick! Mother dear, shall I die? Yes my darling, by and by!" Even though Lyra mentioned the word "mother" and "die", Scootaloo couldn't help but laugh a little. Then she helped herself to another Jelly Filly...and another...and another...and another...until she had a sugar rush (Jelly Fillies, just like our Jelly Babies, are sugar bombs, more so than most candies): "WOWI'MSOHAPPYAREYOUHAPPYTOO?LET'SPLAY!!!" Lyra was beaming with joy, because she mistakenly thought that it was her who made Scootaloo so happy! Applejack, on the other hand, was feeling serious as all heck. "Say Twahlaht, how do yah reckon all those monster came to Ponyville in the first place?" "I don't know Applejack; I'm as stumped as the next mare. The Gates of Tartarus? Space? Another reality? A psychic force of us all liking Doctor Whooves? I don't know" said Twilight. "Frankly, I seriously doubt it's even that important." Rainbow Dash, like all good mares, was entirely for abstinence, but at the same time, she had strong urges that she couldn't completely suppress, so she redeemed both sentiments in a curious fashion: By smothering Stallions with something edible and then licking them or nibbling them (except in their special areas), but nothing more. It was so innocent and yet so un-innocent at the same time, and nopony else really knew what to make of it, but it seemed as if most of the stallions she captured enjoyed it enough. She was especially keen on doing it during times of extreme stress, such as now. "Lets start with...Apples!" she declared, picking up Big McIntosh and smothering him with applesauce and applecider, then she seized him and began to nibble his ear. But then she paused, thought about it, and said: "On second thought, I hate Apples! Apples are rubbish!" "How about...bacon?" So she snagged Sukhbataar and wrapped him up in Bacon, but after a taste, she spat it out and said, "Scootaloo, what the heck is wrong with this potential father of yours?!? Are you trying to poison me?!!?" Before Scootaloo could explain it wasn't her fault that her dad was inedible, Rainbow Dash studied him carefully, and said..."No...he's fine...it's the food I used that's bad! How about...beans!" Sukhbataar was then smothered with baked beans, and Rainbow Dash promptly began to lick him. She didn't mind the way Sukh's coat tasted, but the beans- She spat them out onto the sink and groaned "ugh, these beans are evil! Time for butter!" So she got Soarin' and smothered him with butter, but then she spat the butter and his hairs out and threw him to the other side of the room. "And stay there!" she shouted. "You know what I really need?" said Rainbow Dash, grabbing Soarin', Sukhbataar, Shining Armor, and Harley by their tails, "what I need, is some Used Stud with Custard!" "Hey! That 'Used Stud' is my husband!" yelled Cadence. "I know, aren't you lucky?" chirped Rainbow Dash. "Put him down. NOW." "Fine," pouted Rainbow Dash, dropping Shining Armor very hard on his bum, "Big Mac will have to do." Then Rainbow Dash grabbed Bic Mac, and then, with their tails in hoof, she then dunked them in an impossibly large bowl of custard and swirled them in rapidly, like a blender. Then she pulled them all out, all smothered in Custard, and began licking and nibbling them. All were perfectly still and had wingboners, save Mac. It was a good thing that Shining Armor wasn't a Pegasus, because he would have got a mild wingboner in response to Dash's affections and how she took them out. He was still staring and blushing, much to the suspicions of his wife. In apparent response to this all of this, Derpy began to play "Little Red Corvette" on her recorder. Octavia, Rarity, and Trixie were all arguing over the situation and how it happened: "It's all your fault, you know that right?" Octavia spat at Trixie. "Nonsense! The great and powerful Trixie was not the one who summoned the Daleks to Ponyville, merely the one who gave them something to fear." Rarity began to scream: "Yes, and don't you know what Daleks do when they're afraid of something? THEY BUCKING KILL IT!!!! And now that you've got them scared horseapples of us, they're surrounding the library, waiting for us to DIE!!!!" "Hmph! The Great and Powerful Doctor Trixie is ready to die a most honorable and glorious death!" Fluttershy tried to say something to Trixie, but it was mumbled over and quiet. "What?!!" Yelled Trixie "Yeah...um...I'm sorry...I-I-I-I couldn't hear your over the sound of your ego...or the noise of your coat...*eep!*" With that, a huge physical fight started, with Trixie trying to pound Fluttershy and Rarity defending her best friend against the Unicorn. Then Rainbow Dash with difficult, pulled Rarity from Trixie (Fluttershy was sitting on top of Trixie's chest and punching her in the jaw repeatedly, until Trixie's mouth bled). Rarity, however, squirmed out of Rainbow's hooves and lept upon Trixie again, and snarling: "YOU LITTLE BI-" Then, all stopped what they were doing when they heard this conversation from the outside. "I COULD NOT HELP BUT FIND PLEASURE IN TWIST-ING THESE SEN-TI-MEN-TAL CHANTs OF THEIR'S INTO DALEK PROSE!!!! WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS SEN-SA-TION????" "THAT WOULD BE HU-MOR, DAL-EK G-8-5-M-7-3." "HU-MOR?? FAS-CIN-A-TING!!!!I SHALL CON-TIN-UE TO EX-TER-MIN-ATE PO-NIES IN CRE-A-TIVE FASH-IONS TO CON-TIN-UE TO FE-EL THIS HUMOR!!!!!!!!" After a pause, a Dalek voice spoke again: "DAL-EK D-9-2-K-0-1!!!" "Yes, OF-FI-CER?" "WATCH DAL-EK G-8-5-M-7-3. HE IS FE-EL-ING MORE HU-MOR THAN IS NOR-MAL FOR DAL-EKS!! HE MAY BE DE-FEC-TIVE!!!!" "I O-BEY!!" There was another pause, and it was cut by this: "HALT! YOU WILL I-DEN-TI-FY!" "You will. Identify. First." "DAL-EKS DO NOT TAKE OR-DERS FROM LES-SAR BEINGS!!!!!" "You have. Identified. As Daleks." "OUT-LINE RE-SEM-BLES IN-FER-I-OR RACE KNOWN AS CY-BER-PO-NIES!!!!!!" "Well. that. wasn't. very. nice." "NICE?!?!? NICE???! NICE?!?!?!??!??!?!?!! I DO NOT KNOW THE MEAN-ING OF THE WORD; IT IS NOT RE-GIS-TERED IN MY VO-CAB-U-LAR-Y BANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "This. Is. Obvious." "AU-DI-O SCANS IM-PLY MI-LD SAR-CASM!!!! RE-TRACT!!! RE-TRACT!!!!!" "Why. Apologize. When you. called us. Inferior?" "I-- HUH. ...........GOOD................POINT............." "State. your. Business." "WE ARE SUR-ROUND-ING THE CUR-RENT SHEL-TER OF THE DE-MON KNOWN AS THE DOC-TOR!!!" "Doctor? THE Doctor?" "NO, I MEAN DOC-TOR RAB-BIT...OF COURSE I MEAN THE DOC-TOR!!!!" "Easy. there. No need. To. be. Mean." "DON'T TELL A DAL-EK WHAT TO DO!!!!" "Apologies. Would you like. An alliance?" "WHAT FOR??????" "To berid. Of the Doctor. Forever." "RE-QUEST................................AC-CEPTED!!!!!!!" Derpy heard it all, and sighed. "Well this is it then." "It's what Derpy?" asked Rainbow Dash "It's over. Sooner or later, our time will come." "Oh nonsense," replied Rarity, in spite of her previous despair, "I felt that way once...it was my darkest day ever...but it was also my brightest..." "No Rarity," Lyra said, "It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for. So now is a good time to smile..." Pinkie said tearfully "I- I don't want to go!" Everyone was surprised when the normally pessimistic Octavia declared "Oh, it is far from being over! There is still a hope, a chance at defeating all the monsters, even if some Tom-fool makes it hard for us" she added, glaring at Trixie. "We must make form a group, and a plan." "Yes sir!" Lyra shouted. "Twilight, you're smart; got any ideas for how to defeat the Daleks?" "Well-" Twilight began, but she couldn't be certain...how do you defeat a Dalek? The Doctor often had luck on his side, which Twilight seemed to be out of. "Say Lyra...what do you know about Dalek anatomy?" "Well, okay, Daleks are basically the descendant of ponies who were transported by higher powers to the planet Skaro. The final versions of these ponies were called "Kaleds' and 'Thals', and Davros took some Kaled embryos and then cut all the 'chaff' of their genes, reducing them only to the things he considered important: Lumps of neural tissue with no remorse, which were the Daleks. He cut so much from their genes that without software to store more memory and help make straight loops in planning, Daleks would not be rational or even animals, but mere monsters. Davros thought that Evolution was synomymous with permanent improvement, which goes to show that he really didn't understand Evolution at all-" "No Lyra, I meant the machines- wait, what did you say?" "I said that Daleks are basically Ponies that-" "No, I mean, they need software to remember anything?" "That's right: Their organic brains are only capable of killing, so they need software enhancements to remember and to speak-" "That's it!" ===================================== The Closing theme for today's episode!

The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 3: The ActSpecial Nightmare Night theme to today's episode: Youtube Video ============== "But wait...can't we come with you?" asked Applebloom. "Sorry Applebloom" started Twilight, "but we can't risk you or your friends." "But wah not?" Applebloom said tearfully. "Yeah!" chimed in Scootaloo, "we could take 'em!" "B'awwww, because you're too cute and likable to be at risk of Dalek extermination, whereas Spike is lazy and obnoxious and nopony likes Twist, so we don't give a horseapple if they get killed!" said Pinkie Pie. "Thanks" said Spike grumpily. "Hee-hee-hee! No problem Spike!" giggled Pinkie. "Always happy to give constructive criticism!" "That's not why Pinkie; the reason why we're bring Spike and Twist is because-" started Twilight, but Pinkie put of hoof in front of Twilight's face. "Well, that's why the Author is doing it, and what he says goes; capiche?" Pinkie said with a touch of menace. "Uh, ye-yeah, okay!" Then she summoned Lyra "Lyra...if you can learn anything about this 'Author', tell me...he must be investigated..." "Okay; you know, this 'Author' sounds like something that might appear on My Little Human..." Twilight groaned. My Little Human: Friendship is Bullshit was a TV show that was popular in Ponyville. It all began with the MLH franchise that started back in the 80s, which was geared towards adult stallions; the show was rank with violence and sex, and Stallions loved it. Eventually, it got rejuvenated in 2010, (the current year was 2012, over two millennia after the founding of Equestria) and somehow, it attracted young fillies to the show, who called themselves "Homo sapiensisters." Twilight felt that MLH was not a good show for foals. "Oh come on Twilight, it's not that bad..." "'Not that bad'? Lyra, that show is garbage, and you know it!" "But it's an interesting conjecture! And YOU know it!" "Girls!" shouted Fancy Pants/Master Key, "look." The magic shield was surrounded by Daleks and Cyberponies. Twilight realized that they had to be careful. She also heard some conversation from the Daleks. "CARE-FUL. WE CAN-NOT EX-TEERR-MIN-ATE ALL GEN-ER-A-TION ONE OR GEN-ER-A-TION FOUR PONIES; WE A-GREED WITH THE CY-BER-PO-NIES TO DI-VIDE THEM BE-TWEEN OUR-SELVES: HALF FOR THE CY-BER-PO-NIES, AND HALF FOR THE FI-NAL EX-PER-I-MENT!!" Twilight was aware that there were essentially four generations of Ponyville, but that could not have been right; Generation One was the generation of Granny Smith's parents. Then she heard more that surprised her: "ALL PO-NIES I-DEN-TI-FIED WITH-IN SPHERE ARE GEN-ER-A-TION FOUR, SAVE ONE GEN-ER-ATION ONE SPE-CI-MEN I-DEN-TI-FIED AS TWI-LIGHT VEL-VET!. PRE-SERVE AS MA-NY AS YOU CAN!!" "I O-BEY!!" None of that could have been right either; Twilight's mother was the generation before her, not generation one, and they seemed to forget Cadence, who was young for a long period of time due to being an Alicorn, and very well might have been chronologically older than Twilight's parents, even though she was biologically younger than her own husband. "EX-TEERR-MIN-ATE ALL GEN-ER-A-TION THREE POINT FIVE PO-NIES! MIN-TY CHRIST-MAS PO-NIES DO NOT COUNT!!" "I O-BEY!" Twilight was well aware of "Generation 3.5"; it was "the Lovechild Generation", in more mild terms (Granny Smith called it "the Illegitamate Generation"). What happened was that a small group of sick stallions impregnated any mare between ages twelve and eighteen, resulting in foals that were almost young enough to be their mothers' sisters and brothers, so being dubbed "Generation 3.5". Due to the immaturity of their parents, they often had stupid names like "Toola Roola". The Generation Four Ponies that made up Twilight's social group like Pinkie and Rainbow Dash were the descendants of the Generation 3 Ponies who were smart enough to wait. But what the heck was a "Minty Christmas Pony"? Heck, what the heck was "Christmas"? And why was it minty? Twilight knew these were answers she could not stop pondering easily, but she knew this: The Daleks had to be stopped. They had to get out of the shielded area, which they could not do without Twilight lifting the spell, and they had to kill the Daleks, which also could not be achieved without Twilight taking the risk of lifting the shield. "I'm going to have to lift the shield. Whatever the Daleks are up to, it's not good. We're going to have to temporarily lift the shield and start fighting the Daleks; it's the only way to save Ponyville." "Yes, we know that." Blueblood said with a scoff, "but, do we have magnets on us?" "Umm..." Twilight realized: She hadn't thought of how they were going to mess up the Daleks' systems! "Uh...I didn't exactly..think of that." There were some hushed murmurs, but fortunately, these passed quickly when Sukhbataar (still covered in custard) spoke: "Remember that one rock that everypony could not move on until we cast off all of our metal gear? "You mean that big chunk of magnetite?" replied Twilight "But that was just a freak accident: It got hit by a bolt of lightning and got super-charged for a short time; it's not usually that powerful." "I know, but maybe, with their electric rays..." Sukhbataar began. "...We could turn that rock into a dangerous anti-Dalek weapon, charged by using the Daleks' own electric charges! Good thinking!" "But we should still go to Sugarcube Corner to get the Boron and thus disable the Dalek generators." reminded Shining Armor. "That is, if we can get past all of these Daleks" Hoity Toity said glumly. "Okay," Twilight began heavily, "here goes nothing!" And with that, the protective shield was lifted, and thus, there was now nothing separating her from the Daleks. "Attack!" Shouted Twilight. "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!!!" shouted the black Dalek. And the Cyber Controller yelled, "Delete!!" And so, the battle started. Blasts from the horns of Twilight, Cadence, Shining Armor, and Lyra took out many of the Daleks on the front lines. "GERONIMO!!!" and with that cry, a rainbow-colored streak destroyed a Dalek machine. The Daleks and Cyberponies immediately started firing to that direction, but the Rainbow streak was much to fast, and all of a sudden, there was a cry of "Allons-y!" and with that, Pinkie Pie's Party canon took out a whole squadron of Cyberponies. The Daleks then showered them with Electric ray blasts, which they all had to dodge or shield themselves from. Pinkie had already figured out a way to get them close. "Coooome heeeeeeeeeeeeere, Mister Dalek..." she said coyly. The Dalek shot a ray, but she disappeared out of sight. It turned, scanning the area, and then caught sight of her again, but she was much closer than last time. "Bet you can't get me!" The Dalek shot again, only with Pinkie to disappear. It scanned again, debris, debris, debris, Tenth Doctor's face, debris, debris... Wait, what? Pinkie/Tenth Doctor giggled and said: "'Allo, Chump! Happy Hanukkah!" As she said that, she stuck a Banana in the Dalek's Blast Gun, which was being charged to fire, but alas! You can't easily exterminate if there is a banana in your Blast Gun! The center of the Dalek exploded, and the Dalek inside died in the inferno. "Always bring a banana to a party!" grinned Pinkie Pie. Meanwhile, the powerful magic blasts of skilled mages Twilight, Shining, Cadence, and Lyra destroyed many of the surviving Dalek machines. Surviving Cyberponies tried to attempt close-range combat on Rarity and Octavia. Big Mistake. Rarity and Octavia stood on their hind legs, and then made a series of graceful kicks at the Cyberponies. "Hwiiyaahh! Hyah! Hai! Hah!" Several strikes later, Rarity was adjusting her mane, and all the Cyberponies collapsed behind her and Octavia. Dead. Spike could only stare agape. A Cyberpony was about to shoot Rarity, but then something pulled its head away from its initial target and into a Dalek, also trying to fire: They both unintentionally shot each other. Many of the Daleks flew up to pursue Rainbow Dash, but she flew up. And up. And up... ...And then flew down, resulting in a mid-air Sonic Rainboom that destroyed the Daleks that pursued her. Applejack used her lasso to keep the Cyberpony from shooting Rarity, whereas Lyra used her scarf to get a Dalek to shoot the Cyberpony. Now there were no Cyberponies there and only one Dalek left...being stared down by Fluttershy. "I- I- I CAN-NOT. DOC-TOR! SPARE ME!!" "Only if you go and tell the Daleks this" said Fluttershy with menace "The Doctor is now on the loose; all of her." You better muster your ilk and send them to get us, if they want to survive." "I UH- AH!!" The Dalek then flew away rather quickly. They all stared at her. "I'm sorry Twilight, but I had to: I have to get them to follow us to the Magnetite, and I have to get them away from the tree house-" "No, no, I know that...I just...forgot how menacing you could be...or how menacing the Fifth Doctor can be, for that matter." "Oh." "Hurry!" shouted Twilight "Before there are more of them!" "Why should we worry?" asked Rainbow Dash, "It was actually a piece of cake getting rid of them." "We already lost Twist, and we need to get rid of ALL of the monsters in Ponyville, which making the Daleks loos cannons is really the only way to do that efficiently." replied Twilight. They were wise to retreat, although the only casualty so far was Twist/Adric, which was not a problem since nopony likes Twist or Adric! But there was something there that they nearly missed, but saw: The remains of one of the Daleks. Pinkie approached it, for she heard a faint "exterminate" from it, and she used her toy sonic screwdriver on the dented chamber within the Dalek casing. Lyra also took a look at it: "That's strange, True Daleks are mutants in tanks, Imperial Daleks are cyborgs, but this one seems to be kind of...both..." There was a mutant chamber at the center of the Dalek, but there was also a separate brain and a mass of organs, but they did not seem to be part of the mutant, but rather, were connected to the mutant's chamber, perhaps to boost the mutants abilities. Surprisingly, Pinkie's Sonic Screwdriver worked, and the mutant chamber opened, revealing a monstrosity. "Oh my Celestia..." Twilight said. "Aww, it's cute!" said Rainbow Dash, which was a bit unusual for her to say such a thing. "We need to study it" said Twilight. But Applejack had a second opinion: "Sugarcube, thar's no tahme!" Applejack was right; the Daleks would return in far greater numbers. "Alright then; we're going to have to take this little bugger to Sugarcube corner with us, and once we get the Boron, we'll talk." With that, they tied the small chamber shut with Applejack's lasso, and carried it with them to Sugarcube Corner. ========== Trixie Lulamoon played with the controls to her TARDIS, when she heard the front door to the Golden Oaks Library open. "You're flying a TARDIS? I can help!" Peeking from around the door, a colt looked in awe at the Great and Powerful Trixie's costume: "Cool! You have the same outfit as me!" Trixie saw the colt's outfit and gasped in wonder: "You'r-you're...you're the great and powerful Sixth Doctor!" Indeed he was! Or at least, he wore the same outfit. His name was Button Mash. He wore a coat just like Trixie's, and it actually matched him better, since his own hairy coat was earthen, his mane orange, and his helicopter cap many colors. "But what are you doing here? There was a battle outside, did you not hear?" "I heard, but I didn't care! I'm the Doctor! I don't give a crap!" "Exactly!" proclaimed Trixie "Oh, you may be as Great and Powerful as the Sixth Doctor!" "Yeah!" replied Button Mash, "my mom likes the Sixth Doctor too; sometimes, she makes weird thrusting motions when she sees him on TV, and often says she has to go to the bathroom after looking at him hungrily!!" (Button's father was never really home...) "So did mine..." Trixie said with many joyful tears in her eyes. (Neither was Trixie's father...) ============ "RE-CENT MES-SAGE SENT FROM PO-NIES! THE DOC-TORS ARE LOOSE!!!!" "SHALL WE SUR-REN-DER??" "NAY! DA-LEKS CON-QUER AND DES-TROY!!!" That must have been something like a motivation speech for them, as they began chanting and raving as they departed the base they dwelt in, gliding in single file... "DA-LEKS CON-QUER AND DES-TROY!!! DA-LEKS CON-QUER AND DES-TROY!!!" ============= While trying to evade a potentially inappropriate conversation of the sort BOTH of her fathers would have forbidden her listening to, Scootaloo was also determined to help Rainbow Dash in any way she could. That was when she climbed out of the window, and then, as she was walking out of the house, she gasped as she felt her tail grabbed, but then sighed in relief: "Oh Rumble, it's just you." "Just me?" Rumble said with a snarky voice. "Listen Rumble, I know you want be back, but first of all, I can't let any of them go out there all alone, and... well... Button and Trixie were talking about inappropriate things I'm not supposed to listen to..." "Yeah, I heard that; gross, huh?" "I know, totally, but please, don't stop me-" "I'm not here to stop you." "Please- wait, what?" "I'm here to come with you!" "Thank you...I guess..." "You guess what, Scootaloo?" "Oh, well...it would be more comforting, I suppose, to go with a colt dressed as a knight..." "What, you mean this? It's a Roman Legionary costume. I'm not a Knight, but I am a soldier. What are you dressed as?" Rumble asked. "Me? I'm a police mare!" Scootaloo answered. "Well, that's two of us; people in authority, who are tough." "Haha, yeah, nothing can stop us!" But Scootaloo was proven wrong when they saw battalions of Daleks roll onto the battleground, and they seemed to stand still, just scanning. ============= Seeing an open window, two figures more short and stout than what is normal for Ponies climbed into the house... ....And they weren't foals... ============== Trixie and Button were fiddling with the buttons and the levers in the TARDIS consol. Then, they heard a grating sound that was unusually beautiful for a grating sound. Button squealed "Umm, Trixie...is that supposed to happen??!" Trixie could say nothing; she knew that sound well and knew what it meant. All she could do was stand in shock... =============== The Closing theme to today's episode! Youtube Video
The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 4: The Paths DivergeThe Theme to today's episode Youtube Video ============== "I have to go back" Twilight suddenly remembered. "I should put the shield back up." "I'll go with you!" shouted Rainbow Dash "Good! Bring Fluttershy too! And remember teams! Stick with your Doctors!" "I'll take care of the rest, leave it to me Twi!" said Lyra. "Okay Lyra, but remember, go straight to Sugarcube corner, get the Boron, and examine that thing!" "Aye aye, Twilight!" ============== "Let's just- let's just go back." Scootaloo wimpered, seeing the Daleks patrol the area. "I agree Scootaloo; but we must be very quiet." But before they made it back to the Library, they heard a whooshing grate sound, that repeated itself until the tree house slowly began to fade out of view. Rumble sat agape at the change. Tears of sheer terror welled up in Scootaloo's eyes. Then, before they could even fully process all of this, several small but powerful lights focused on them: "STAY WHERE YOU ARE, OR YOU WILL BE EX-TEEERRR-MIN-A-TED!!!!" ============== Twilight, Rainbow, Fluttershy, and their respective teams then ran to where they started...but then they heard a sound that they knew very, very well: "VWOOOOORP! VWOOOOOORP! VWOOOOOOORP!" Twilight knew that sound anywhere, so she went straight to her house- Or at least, where Twilight's house used to be. "MY CELESTIA...MY HOUSE....." "Did it blow up?" Spike asked somewhat stupidly. "NO! I think it was a-a-a-" "A TARDIS" Fluttershy finished "it was a TARDIS." Spitfire asked "Well, what does that mean?" "That mean that it could be anywhere! Anywhere in time and space!" shouted Twilight. But they all fell silent when they heard talking: "WOULD YOU LIKE A JEL-LY BA-BY?" "DAAGH! DA-LEK G-5-6-M-9-2, YOU FRIGHT-ENED ME!!" "WHY? ARE YOU A-FRAID THAT THE DOC-TOR WILL STRAN-GLE YOU WITH HIS BOW TIE?!" "NO! A DA-LEK IS NE-VER A-FRAID!" "YOU SAID I FRIGHT-ENED YOU!" then it began a chanting taunt: "YOU'RE SCARED OF THE DOC-TOR! YOU'RE SCARED OF THE DOC-TOR!" But then another cry shot out: "Git out munsteh! Dis Fwuffy wand now!" "WHAT IS YOUR SPE-CIES?" "Fwuffy! Dat's wut! Now weave or git biggestest owwies!" Then the Dalek scanned the hairy beast "BUT YOU ARE UN-ARMED! YOU HAVE NO WEA-PONS! NO PLAN!!" "Fwuffies are da gweatest animaws dare eveh was!" that voice got many other cheering with it. "Now leaf or git biggest owwies!" Twilight knew the other speech pattern to be that of a Fluffy Pony. They were the only creature as bigoted as a Dalek. Fluffy Ponies were the distant cousins of Equestria Ponies, but somewhere along the lines they became quite different. They were once abused by the Ponies, but laws were recently made to protect Fluffy Ponies and isolate them for the other Ponies. Though treated far better, Fluffies were still a highly xenophobic people. "IF YOU CON-TIN-UE TO THREAT-EN US, THEN YOU WILL LEAVE US NO CHOICE BUT TO EX-TERRR-MIN-ATE YOU!" It was then that Twilight peeked around the corner of the building she pressed herself against, and there she saw them: two groups of creatures, one group composed of Daleks, and the other composed of Fluffy Ponies. Their leaders had departed from their groups and were staring each other down, the "Smarty Friend" leader of the Fluffies puffing his cheeks out in front of the Dalek, which implied perhaps that the Dalek's condiment dispenser appearance prevented the Smarty from taking it seriously. "We have to do something!" shouted Rainbow Dash. But this remark from Fluttershy shocked them all: "I say, let the Daleks kill them." "Bu-but Fluttershy-" "Forget it Rainbow; have you even met a Fluffy Pony? They're the most evil creatures that ever lived!" "Fluffle Puff is nice!" "Yes, but she's not the same kind of Fluffy Pony as the ones I'm talking about. Fluffle Puff is a Fluffle; a rare, highly peaceful, and highly intelligent creature that never utters a word. What I'm talking about is a Fluffy, a stupid, greedy, selfish, gabby, belligerent, idiotic-" Before Fluttershy could finish, Rainbow blazed right past her. "EEEX-TEEEERRRR-MIIINNN-AAATEE" the Dalek began, but it was smashed to pieces and goo by Rainbow Dash. The other Daleks all backed up when they saw their leader destroyed. Rainbow Dash then shouted at them "The rest of you interested in sharing the same fate?!!" The Daleks then all looked at each other, and slowly backed away. "Thought so....B'aww, look at these little guys, why would you hate them so much Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked, now shifting her head from the Daleks to the Fluffy Ponies. "Because Rainbow, they try to hump my chickens and kill my rabbits! Or at least, they try to..." "Fluttershy" Twilight Sparkle began, "sparing a creature that is totally evil but almost totally helpless is what the Doctor does every episode; can you look at Ponykind and see us as being so wonderful? You yourself said that many critters are better than ponies by a good margin, and frankly, nopony here is arguing with that (unless you cite Angel Bunny; he's a dick)." Fluttershy looked away, not sure what to make of it, except that she now felt ashamed. Rainbow Dash did not see her shame, and so had less kind words: "Okay girl, listen, you know what monster goes around saying it's okay to kill something because it's hard to like? Do you really know! I'll give you a hint! 'EX-TEEERRR-MIN-ATE!!!!'" Fluttershy realized the comparison, and ran away crying. "That's enough out of you, Rainbow!" shouted Twilight. Rainbow Dash, fustrated, then flew away, with Spitfire at her tail. Twilight Sparkle then followed Fluttershy, who was curled in a ball, sobbing heavily. "Fluttershy...Rainbow-" "No Twilight, she's right; I let my hatred for Fluffy Ponies make me like a...like a..." but Twilight put a firm hoof on her mouth. "Fluttershy...I understand your hate, because, my family came from a country that offered us nothing but superstition." Fluttershy then looked at Twilight intently. With a sigh, Twilight began: "My parents come from Kathiawaria, a land divided by castes; they were in the lowest caste, the 'Untouchables'. They took up a new religion, the religion of Princess Celestia, which preached equality regardless of birth. Some extremist groups of higher castes didn't like this new thought to spread, and so...they did an extermination." Fluttershy's eyes widened at this. Twiligth continued: "They realized they couldn't remain there much longer, so they traveled with the Missionaries to Equestria, where they lived without fear of prejudice. You see...I used to hate Kathiawarians when I learned about this, but then, my parents told me I was as bad as them to reek with so much hatred. Your explanations to hatred of Fluffy Ponies made sense, and you know it's wrong to hate, so that's good. Now tell me: Are you a Doctor?" "I- I'm a Doctor!" "That's the spirit!" ======================= Scootaloo heard a good deal of talking, and shouting, some of which sounded like Pony voices. But she couldn't investigate, because the Daleks had their blast guns trained on them. They stood still there for a couple minutes, leaving Scootaloo to wonder why they didn't fire; but she was scared to ask, out of fear of being killed if she did. Two blazing paths went right past the Dalek, which both completely scorched it. The paths ended to reveal Spitfire and Rainbow Dash, and Rainbow had a lot to say to Scootaloo: "WHAT DID TWILIGHT TELL YOU?! DIDN'T SHE SAY TO STAY IN THE LIBRARY??!" Scootaloo fell silent, and then began to cry. Rumble decided to say something in her defense: "Well, um, it wasn't her fault! Um...it was mine! Yeah, it was all my idea! Scootaloo tried to protest, but-" Scootaloo was touched by Rumble's attempt to take all the blame, but she couldn't let him do it. "No, no, I ran out because I heard the battle outside, and I- I hoped that Rainbow Dash would be okay." Rainbow was surprised to hear this, and she took it well: "Kid...I can always take care of myself. You don't need to look after me. And if I do get killed, well...it was probably nature at work; I'm a Darwin Award waiting to happen." Scootaloo giggled at this, and then hugged Rainbow Dash. "Oh, Mom- uh, sorry, Rainbow-" Rainbow was flabbergasted to hear that bit; but then again, "Little Red" Corvette was a really suck-y mother, never really at home even though she had custody over Scootaloo (Sukhbataar, and to a lesser extent, Harley, were there for Scootaloo much more often), and when she was home, she was copulating with some Stallion she picked up. It was no wonder both Scootaloo and her top two most likely candidates for her father both preferred Rainbow Dash: Rainbow Dash was no Saint, but Corvette was totally evil, rotten to the core. "Shh, Scootaloo, you don't need to say anything" Rainbow said, before hugging Scootaloo back. "Hey Scoots, since there's no library to get back to, why don't you and your little boyfriend come with us? You can be Loose Lips and Naive Nut!" (Pony names for Amy Pond and Rory Williams) Rumble couldn't say anything due to being enlikened to a possible special somepony for Scootaloo, but Scootaloo had more than enough to say: "Okay! And then I could blow up lots of cool stuff in lots of cool ways! And I can..." "Scootaloo." Rainbow Dash said simply, but Scootaloo continued. "...reverse the polarity! And Oh! I can carry things for you! And then..." "Scootaloo..." "...earwax! Earwax everywhere!" And then all the khaki pants can..." "Scootaloo!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed gently "'Yes' would have done perfectly fine kiddo." "Okay, thanks Dashie!" "Rainbow, I have something to tell you" said Twilight. "I'm sorry about what I said earlier, but...Now is not a good time!" Exclaimed Rainbow. "Rainbow, it's about your tastes..." "I know, I know, I bet you think I'm a freak-" "No, quite the opposite actually" "Yeah, well, screw you Twi- wait, what?" "I like older stallions too!" "SHUT UP!!" "I'm not Horseappling you Rainbow Dash, I speak the truth; Tough Cookie and Dramatic Darkness were two of the sexiest Doctors ever! Anyway, I always found younger stallions to be very controlling and insecure; older stallions don't really care if you've got an education or mad skills or something; they've made it, so they don't try to hold you back to feel better." (Sukhbataar and Meadow Song now got wingboners at Twilight Sparkle) "Oh, and by the way, I believe Fluttershy has something to tell you:" "Hi Rainbow Dash...umm, yeah...I'm sorry...and...I-I" "She also likes older stallions." The apology and the confession got Rainbow Dash to spontaneously hug Fluttershy very tightly. Blossomforth was a bit touched by this. But the moment was disturbed by one rather brave Dalek: "EX-TER-MIN-AAUUGGHHH!!!" Standing proudly over the remains of the Dalek, Iron Will declared "Iron Mel is always ready!" "Thank you Iron Will!" shouted Twilight, and she gave him a big hug. Iron Will was quite surprised at the gesture, but his expression of shock turned into a small, 'aw shucks' type of smile. ============== Trixie looked at a screen on the TARDIS, and heard some kind of alarm sounding. "What's that noise?!?" shouted Button Mash. Trixie gave no answer, scanning everything very quickly, and very nervously. Button was very annoyed by this: "Some answer that was." Harley, who was taking care of the refugees, burst in the room, and so did many refugees: "What's going on!? What's happening?!!" "The Great and Pow- I...I...don't...know." However, one Pony came in with a scorched mane, a tiny flame still alive on it. "Butterscotch!" Shouted Button Mash "What happened to you." "Well, apparently, the talking baked potatoes want to talk to the Doctor." Trixie gasped at this. She knew what Butterscotch was referring to. "No- no! It cannot be! Sontarans. The most efficient warriors known save for the Daleks. "Yeah, they mentioned something about a bomb, I can't remember-" Trixie stopped listening entirely when she heard that bit. She was troubled. If the TARDIS exploded, the Universe would be destroyed: She learned that from watching an episode featuring an inferior Doctor. ============= Two Cyberponies that were on their way to Sugarcube Corner to stop the "Doctors", but before they could break down the door, something else broke above them.... ....examining the remains of the Cyberponies, Derpy, looking at the remains of the piano used to smash them, smiled broadly and was sure that they just didn't know what went wrong! Thanks to Derpy, they made it to Sugarcube Corner safely. "Okay little guy, let's see you." The chamber was opened, and the Dalek mutant was revealed: It was hideous: However, it did not fully resemble the mutants on the show. It looked more like a brain with long fingers. The thing squirmed as it was removed from its chamber...but noise it made not, and it occurred to Lyra that the beast lacked vocal chords. She could see, however, why it had so many tubes with organs from other animals attached to it: The Dalek mutant itself lacked anything except for basically a head and hands, so to supply it with Oxygen and nutrition must have required stealing body parts from other animals and integrating them into the casing- but that meant... Lyra shouted "This guy need something to breathe with- quickly!" They all looked everywhere, but they found nothing! "Oh, you are beautiful..." Pinkie Pie said with more seriousness than was thought possible "but how come you are so unlike any other Dalek I've ever encountered; you're a cross between a normal Dalek and an Imperial Dalek." Indeed it was correct, the monster was a separate mutant, like a normal Dalek, but apparently in symbiotic relationship with the tattered remains of its casing, which had many organic components, such as it's own brain and organs, that apparently also had tubes connected to the Dalek mutant. Essentially, these Daleks were two separate living Organisms: a mutant, and a cyborg, living in symbiosis with one another. tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap, went the mutant's fingers, and Lyra wondered if there was some meaning to that... =========== Closing theme for today's episode: Youtube Video
The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 5: A Dirge in the MakingThe theme to today's episode! Youtube Video ============== Lyra sat down, unsure of what to make of it: The Mutant within a Cyborg, the tapping of the fingers.... She saw so much classic Whooves, but she did not remember that. Maybe it was something of the new series that flew over her head, as she watched most of her Doctor Whooves on PBS. But what? ===================== Meadow Song trotted really close to Rainbow Dash "That was very sweet of you...you know, you and Scootaloo..." "Aw, it was nothin'!" replied Rainbow Dash. Rainbow then got a wingboner and a blush when she felt lips touch her cheek! "Come by some time." she heard his voice state. =========== Meanwhile, Derpy went to the Sugarcube Corner kitchen to make some muffins, followed by Carrot Top. Just as she needed eggs, a Dalek burst in! "YOU WILL FREEZE!" Carrot Top obeyed, but Derpy kept scanning the kitchen looking for an egg-whisk, seemingly unaware. The Dalek was surprised at this, and slowly glided to where Derpy stood: "DO YOU HEAR ME? YOU WILL-" but before it could finish, Derpy stood up, facing the Dalek. The Dalek examined her and realized "YOU ARE A DOC-TOR!!" "Hello Mister Dalek!" Derpy said innocently. The Dalek seemed to nervously fiddle with its Blast Gun, probably too scared to handle it properly. Derpy noticed the blast gun twitching and plucked it from the Dalek's main casing. "Thank you Mister Dalek! I needed an egg whisk!" "WHAT??! NO!!! YOU IN-SULT THE DA-LEKS!!!!" But the Dalek's desparate and perhaps somewhat sad shouts were treated as though unheard as Derpy happily continued to stir away without any care for the world. But now there were eggshells everywhere! Where to put them? There was no trash can anywhere in sight, but there was a small bathroom. She then put the eggshells in the toilet, and tried to flush it, but alas! Little progress was made, for it was terribly clogged, due to how hard the feces of the Cakes and Pinkie were from eating too many carbohydrates. Then Derpy had to unclog the toilet "If only I had something, like a..." but then she found exactly what she wanted on the Dalek that was charging angrily at her. "Thanks again Mister Dalek! You really are too generous!" The Dalek was further humiliated when its high-pressure vacuum suction cup was plucked from its body and then used to removes clots of the feces of inferior life-forms! After unclogging the toilet, Derpy then was able to flush the eggshells down, and resumed making muffins. ===================== A thing that looks like an Outhouse in the middle of a Junkyard....and it could travel anywhere in time and space....... and within it, there was a very frightened and confused Trixie. Trixie was fiddling with all the switches, and so far, she didn't seem to be doing much, except for...wait...Trixie pressed a button that sprayed something at the corridors. Trixie decided to play with more switched and button like it.... ========== Twilight, Fluttershy, and their teams were charging to where Rainbow Dash, her team, and Spitfire stood: "Look out!" Blossomforth shouted. Rainbow Dash turned around and saw a Dalek towering over them, its blast gun aimed at her. But Spike had a trick up his sleeve: He tossed a flask filled with an explosive chemical at the Dalek and though it didn't damage it much, something scorched was jettisoned from the center. Spike almost vomited when he saw the dead Kaled mutant. Twilight was surprised to see the Dalek Cyborg still operating without the Kaled mutant. And it began to talk... "WHY DID YOU REMOVE THE MAS-TER WITH-IN??" Twilight knew immediately it had to be referring to the Kaled Mutant. The Dalek Cyborg, now deprived of Kaled Mutant, seemed rather nervous: "MY MAS-TER IS GONE! WHO WILL I O-BEY? WHO WILL I O-BEEEEYYY?!" "You can obey me." spat Twilight. "And begin with this: why are you here? What do the Daleks want?" "THE MAS-TERS WITH-IN IN-TEND TO EX-TEERR-MIN-ATE ALL PO-NIES THAT THE AU-THOR WISHES TO EX-TER-MIN-AAATE!" Twilight was troubled at another reference to "The Author." If only Pinkie Pie or Lyra were present, there might be an explanation, because now Twilight would believe anything in a night where Daleks invaded Ponyville and her house was a TARDIS. "Twilight...if the Cyborg can function on its own without the mutant in it...how come it the Daleks aren't just a cyborg race with no mutants inside?" This observation by Fluttershy was a most impeccable one. Twilight was not sure, but she suddenly had a good idea. "Excuse me...how do you feel?" The Cyborg was silent for a while, but then it answered "A-FRAID..." Twilight immediately got a clue for what was the point of a separate mutant. But Cyborgs are organisms with organic parts, so it's existence begged the question: Where did the Dalek Cyborgs come from? "Who were you before this transformation?" "NO-PO-NY; I WAS MAN-U-FAC-TURED FROM EM-BRY-OS-" "Hold the phone!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash. "THE STEM-CELLS WERE HAR-VES-TED, AND THEN DIS-PERSED THROUGH-OUT THE MECHAN-I-CAL BO-DY; ALL MY PARTS WERE ARRANGED TO SERVE THE MAS-TER WITH-IN!!" Twilight then realized that perhaps the Dalek Cyborgs, were, in some ways, more Pony than the mutants were, in spite of the fact that the Cyborgs were not entirely organic; the Cyborg's organic components likely had a less altered genetic structure than that of the Mutants; by observing destroyed Dalek remains, Twilight gathered that the Cyborg had a brain at the top of it's head that looked like that of a typical Pony, and a mass of organs much lower in the body that also looked similar to that of ordinary Ponies. "But you don't need the Kaled Mutant to function; it needs you. Why is it the one in authority over you? Why not just reject it?" "BE-CAUSE....IT HAS ONE STRENGTH O-VER ITS VES-SEL." "And what strength is that; it can't even strategize without you!" "IT HAS NO FEAR; NO RE-MORSE; NO GUILT; THE VES-SEL HAS ALL OF THESE WEAK-NESS-ES, AND THE MAS-TER COM-MANDS THE VES-SEL, SO THAT THE VES-SEL DOES NOT GIVE IN TO THESE FAULTS!!" Then it all made sense to Twilight; the Mutant had no pity or remorse, but for some reason the cyborg did, posibbly due to the less altered genetic structure; the mutant's will always overridden the Cyborg's own, but the mutant could not fight really, it was weak and useless! So they had a Cyborg to turn the Mutant's formless rage into a sophisticated plan. "But you have your own brain!" shrieked Fluttershy. "You're not a vessel! You're your own Pony!" Twilight realized something: She couldn't let her friends use Boron on the Daleks; it would surely kill the cyborgs as well as the mutants! "We stayed too long; we have to join the others. Now." ========== A metal hand clicked on a control consol several times, slowly but with subtle impatience at her Fluffy ally. "Fwuffs awweady awe da stwongest cweatuwes!" The bearer of the hand replied, in a damaged but electronically enhanced voice: "Strong in the sense that you have no regret, remorse, or desire to change, but your mental and physical limits hamper you from being the Gods that you can be. This Cyborg vessel shall be a slave to carry out your destructive will. You will provide it with all the hate and rage you need to be the dominant species, and the Cyborg shall use its mind and body to carry out your will. It can kill, it can survive, and it can plan, but is cursed with-" he said with a sniff "-sentiment. Your will will always override its own. With your mechanically organic slave, you shall get no more 'owwies' as you call them; you will have no fear of drowning, you will be invincible!" she added with more energy and passion. "Yay! No More Boo-Boos?" "Uhhh...yes, no more...'Boo-Boos'." "And will Fwuff git wotsa skettis?" "Yes, plenty of blood, screams, CRIES OF ANGUISH!!! ...and yes, some spaghetti as well, I suppose." "YAY!! Tank yu daddeh!" "No need to thank me; I thank you for being the perfect, unsentimental organism. Previously, I had to mutate species to absolutely nothing in order to make them loose all of their 'love' and 'friendship'; but I see now I did not need to mutate anything; I just needed to find you, the perfect, hateful organism." A mechaincal pincher then lifted the Fluffy Pony from the ground and into the Dalek Cyborg. It was then placed in a chamber. With a cap for administering its thoughts and feelings to that of the Cyborg. "Excellent!" the one with the mechanical hand and damaged voice purred "Now, try to think of some words you know, without saying them aloud." The Fluffy Pony then was obviously trying very hard to think, its brow furrowing, its face turning red, steam emerging from its ears, and blood dripping out of its nose; but in the end, it managed to send a message that the Dalek Cyborg could translate: "DI....AR...RHE.....A..." "On second thought, perhaps you shouldn't; maybe you should just talk and the machine translates at the same time." "Yu mean wike dis?" "YOU MEAN LIKE THIS??" the Fluffy and the cyborg said simultaneously. "Excellent! That is far better!" "Fwuff haf weally bad poopies dis mornin'" "I HAD DI-AR-RHE-A THIS MORNING!!" they said almost at the exact same time. "Okay, we need to talk; don't talk about 'bad poopies', it will keep your enemies from taking you seriously." "But all Fwuff can tink abou' is bad poopies..." "BUT ALL I CAN THINK A-BOUT IS DI-AR-RHE-A!!!" "If you cannot stop talking about it, I shall have to use the sorry stick..." "Nuu! Not the Sowwy Stick!" "NO! NOT THE BROOM HAN-DLE!!" The bearer of the mechanical hand sighed the sigh of a damaged voice; a Dalek that was afraid of broom handles? That would have to be adjusted; "Please, do not mention the Sorry Stick in combat...That will also prevent your enemies from taking you seriously. Now remind me...what is your true purpose?" "To gif all da meanie munstuhs da biggestest of owwies!" "TO EX-TEERR-MIN-ATE ALL ENEMIES OF THE DA-LEKS!" "Good!", then, beginning to talk to herself, she said "Soon, my dear Daleks, you will pay the price for defying your creator; you rejected my will and my words, but now, in the form of Fluffy Ponies, a new type of Dalek shall unleash my fury for your insubordination....I bring you, the BIONIC REMORSELESS FLUFFY PONY IMPERIAL DALEK or as a shorter name for it, THE BRONY!!!!!!" she added, shaking her hand as she did so. "MOTH-ER..." Yes, my child?" "WILL YOU BRING ME SPA-GHET-TI??" Chysalis, now with the mechanical hand, scarred visage, single electronic eye, and chariot of Davros, facepalmed and sighed...this was going to take a lot of work. "Um, yes...but only after you wipe out all of the Daleks that disobeyed me!" Sulkily, it lowered it's eye stalk, said "O-KAY..." and slowly glided away. ========== A lone pony sat in the spa, watching a television program: "The Situation is we've got a crime, and that crime is how good-looking my situation is over here; ain't that right ladies?" Then, a Cyberpony walked into the same room: "What is that. you are watching." "It seems to be a rather interesting extraterrestrial life-form." "Scans detect. Terrestrial. 'Reality' Show. Jersey Stable." "Oh," the Sombra, dressed as and thinking he was the Master sighed, and then he turned the television off. "So, what bad news do you have for me now?" "The Doctors. Are approaching." "Oh...well, that's good." "Good? It's fantastic!" Shouted Discord, also dressed as the Master. ================ The closing theme to today's episode! Youtube Video
The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 6: The Pace QuickensThe Opening Theme to Today's Episode; Special Veteran's Day/Remembrance Day Edition: Youtube Video ======================== Pinkie Pie shouted: "Found the Boron! It was in my sock drawer!" "FAAAAANTASTIC!" Applejack cried out happily. "A Dalek mutant that can't survive on its own" Lyra mused at the dead mutant. "Those machines must provide them so much...but how? It's kind of a brain with fingers; you can't feed a brain without a body..." "Well, why don't we ask a Dalek?" "Don't be silly Derpy." "Oh, I guess I'm going to have to send Mister Dalek away." Derpy said sadly "And he was so generous too!" "Wait...what?" asked Rarity. "Yeah! Mister Dalek! He helped me make muffins! Come on out Mister Dalek! It's time for your breakfast!" 'Mister Dalek' then glided, with the eystalk hanging down, as if in shame: "I AM AN E-MAS-CU-LA-TED DAAA-LEK!" "Isn't he cute? Let's name him Dalek Fred!" "THE MAS-TER WITH-IN DOES NOT DE-SIRE NAMES! HE WANTS EX-TEERR-MIN-A-TION!!" "Master within?" asked Cadence. "THE UL-TI-MATE LIFE FORM, THAT COM-PLETES DAAA-LEK ES-SENCE; BUT ITS BEAU-TY IS DEL-I-CATE, AND MUST BE PRO-TEC-TED!!" "You mean the Kaled mutants? I thought that it's the mutant speaking." "I BLAS-PHEMED E-NOUGH AS IT IS; MY VOICE SOLE-LY BE-LONGS TO THE MAS-TER WITH-IN!! I AM NO-THING!!" "What are you doing here, what do you want?" "I WOULD RATH-ER DIE THAN TELL YOU A-NY-THING!" "Fine then" Lyra replied, "Go to your tin-can masters, tell them that the Doctors deprived you of your weaponry...and...what did you do with its appendages Derpy?" "Oh! I used the egg-whisk and toilet plunger, to, umm, whisk eggs and plunge toilets!" Lyra burst out laughing. The Dalek lowered its eyestalk in shame. Then, the sound of a train pulling in echoed throughout Ponyville: "Applejack, Rarity, go investigate that, and bring your companions with you!" Lyra ordered "we need the Third and Ninth Doctors to see them safely. When you can, report back to me, and we'll leave to go to the Magnetite patch." They rushed out, with their companions in tow. The Dalek, however, decided to send a silent message over the Dalek Pathweb... ============ A train pulled in, full of U.N.I.T. soldiers. And Applejack and Rarity were there to greet them. "Why hello, Darlings!" "Howdy y'all!" They meant to be yelling at them to run away, but female hormones at these big, muscular stallions in uniform kicked in. "So, what's the problem?" "We're single virgins, that's what's wrong, Darling." "....wut..." "What? Oh, sorry, meant that there are aliens everywhere" (indeed she did mean to say that, but her hormones decided to first inform that she never had any serious mates in her life) "Yes, we know, we were informed that." "By who?" asked Shining Armor. "Don't worry, it was all me, I took care of everything!" a familiar voice said. Then, Discord materialized out of nowhere, dressed in a nice suit. "Discord!" Applejack exclaimed, "What in tarnation-" "Oh sh, sh, sh, sh," Discord said, placing a firm finger over Applejack's mouth. "I saw all the chaos, death, and destruction, and well, I wanted to help out! I wanted to make things better, so I called U.N.I.T over here to save the day!" "Couldn't you just use yer powers to help out?" Applejack asked. "But Princess Celestia forbade me from doing so, so I had to be a good boy, and call U.N.I.T. over here!" "I'll go back and report to Lyra; you stay guard over the train station." "Alright, Sugarcube! You can count on me!" "I'll bring the officers to the abandoned City Hall to form a great strategy!" ============ When Lyra got the news, she was pleased: "Problem is, is that bullets don't work on some of these creatures, but we could use every helping hoof we can get. Let's go! We'll make it to magnetite patch, and wipe the Daleks clean of their memories!" The disarmed Dalek, now hiding in a corner, was pleased to see his plans enact: The Daleks he summoned then burst in through the back door, and swept the baking room by storm, bringing the Cyberponies and also new allies with them: The Voord. Luckily, Derpy was prepared: She turned to the Cakes and to Carrot Top, and shouted: "Muffins!" And true to her previous word, when she said muffins...muffins. The blasts from the Daleks, Cyberponies, and Voord completely destroyed the oven, which was simply stuffed with muffins by Derpy. The resulting muffen-flood created at tremendous muffin-wall, safeguarding the Ponies on the other side. "Muffins" Derpy said with a smile. She planned that to happen. "Wow" Lyra said "we can leave safely; guess Derpy is the Second Doctor after all." ============ "You know, you need a name" Fluttershy began "...How about...Angelica?" (she was quite missing Angel Bunny) "AN-GEL-I-CA? WHAT IS THE MEAN-ING OF THIS NAME?!" Fluttershy apologized "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-" "NO NEED TO A-PO-LO-GIZE; I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE MEAN-ING OF THIS NAME!" "Oh, well, it implies that you're Angelic; you know, like a guardian angel of a sort." Twilight explained. "OHH...I AM NOT A PRO-TEC-TOR! I AM A SWORD!" "But you housed that Kaled Mutant in your body! You protected him!" Rainbow argued. "THE MAS-TER WITH-IN PRO-TECTS ME FROM SEN-TI-MENT!!!" "It's a raw deal!" Rainbow Dash roared "You do all the work and take all the damage, and your Kaled Mutant controls you and makes you feel nothing but hatred!" "I AM AN IN-FER-I-OR BE-ING! I CAN LOVE AND HOPE AND DREAM!! ALL OF THESE ARE MEAN-ING-LESS!! ALL THAT MAT-TERS IS THE SU-PRE-MA-CY OF THE DAAAA-LEKS!!!" Twilight asked "Who is the Dalek: You, or the Master within?" "I-I...I DO NOT KNOW. I SUP-POSE TO-GETH-ER WE MAKE THE DAAA-LEK." "But you're separate creatures; how about you write your own destinies?" Fluttershy suggested. "THE DA-LEKS MUST SUR-VIVE!" "Of course they should." Fluttershy said softly. "But they should not be a slave race to heartless monsters." "IF YOU WILL NOT STOP TEMP-TING ME, THEN I MUST DIIIIEEEEE! EX-TER-MIN-AAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!" The Dalek Cyborg's round orbs then departed from its body, and surrounded it, as it killed itself. "Way to go, Fluttershy- ow!" Twilight hit Rainbow Dash really hard on the head. "Didn't you hear those words though? Tempted; that means the Cyborg wants more out of life than to kill, but it's been brainwashed to think that constant murder and sacrifice is what it takes to be clean, kind of like what the Medieval Ponies used to think. We have to get out of here, and tell all the others about this!" Twilight lectured. ============= As they walked to Sugarcube Corner to warn the others, Sukh sighed deeply. "I just hope Mom is alright. She has the biggest team here, but- I don't know." Sukhbataar began. Rainbow replied "Yeah, I'm worried about mine too- wait what? But Nopony here could possibly be your mom...except..Octavia?" He chuckled. "No, no, I mean Cadence." "HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!" "Well, she became an Alicorn when she was a child, and stayed that way for a long time; my earliest memories of her...she actually looked pre-adolescent back then, but I didn't know that and just called her "Mommy", and thought she was a big Pony, so that was good enough for me; but all those years of being alive, she had the wisdom and warmth only a truly mature mother could have. It's- It's kind of awkward when 'Dad' is actually a bit younger than you, and 'Auntie' Twilight Sparkle appears to fancy you partly on the premises that you're not biologically related and the psycological relationship is a loose one, but that's the Alicorn family, I suppose; the downsides of extended youth." "THE SLUT! WHEN SHINING ARMOR FINDS OUT-" Rainbow Dash began to yell, but she was cut off. "No, I'm sort of...well...I'm adopted." There was silence. "Przewalskia was taken over decades ago by the Daleks, sorry Cyberponies, er, I mean, Budennies, back when the Budenny country was known as the Hoviet Union. They're both free countries now, but when I was little, it was a dangerous place to live in. The Hoviets wanted to exterminate all threats to the government, and I guess my parents were considered threats. They smuggled me away with other little foals to Equestria, and well, Cadence found me, and with Celestia's permission, she raised me in her mansion, with a lot of help from the staff there." "So, you're the older guy Twilight likes...I take it?" "Probably." Rainbow felt bitterly jealous: "How does it feel to have her admiration?" "To be honest..." he said with a small smile "I love how she adores me...but..." "Her being an adoptive Aunt makes it weird?" "Yeah...the fact my mom married her brother, who is not only a bit younger than me but is also really irritating, is bad enough." "Oh, so you met Shining?" "Yes, the Corndog guy." "Don't like him?" "Hardly." "Why?" "I don't know...he's just, he's kind of smarmy, I guess, like...like...." "Like Harley?" Rainbow whispered, as to not concern Scootaloo. "Yeah." "You don't like him either?" Rainbow Dash actually liked Harley (not as much as she liked Sukhbataar though), and suspected that Sukh's judgement was more related to family... "Listen, I don't want to talk about this. We're almost at Sugarcube Corner." But he opened the door, and it was dark and destroyed: There was nopony inside it. "Stay here" Twilight said. "I'll look for the rest." ============ Two stray Ponies, Berry Bright and Morning Glory, ran to the Train Station, as the entryway was decked by stairs. They assumed that would keep them safe. They were wrong. The Dalek levitated over the stairs, and landed on the platform, then did a DNA lock on both of its targets: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!" If you cannot guess what happened to them, you're stupid. A second train pulled in, also filled with U.N.I.T. soldiers. But this time, there was a Dalek to greet them. "EX-TEER-MIN-ATE!" A blast eminated from the Dalek Blast Gun, and one electron blast derailed the train, causing many deaths and even an explosion at the engine. Applejack, however, caught sight of this: "Open fire!" she shouted. The machine guns of U.N.I.T. troops released their contents, but to know avail to the Dalek. "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" And it shot "Whah dontcha jus' DAH!!!" The Dalek was silent for a moment...then it spoke "YOU WOULD MAKE A GOOD DA-LEK." This made Applejack furious. "Raauggh!" Then she heard almost simultaneous "EX-TER-MIN-ATE"s eminate from different directions: She was too angry to care if she got hurt. But before she could strike at the dark Dalek, hit it, and it wasn't from her sonic screwdriver. She turned, and saw another Dalek standing there, all alone; she guessed that was the one where the second "EX-TER-MIN-ATE" hailed from. But it didn't look like the Dalek she was fighting: The Dalek Applejack was fighting, and all the other Daleks she saw that night, were mostly black with varying shades of blue and green for the highlights, not unlike the Changelings. This Dalek, however, was different; this Dalek was white and gold in coloring. She hadn't watched the classic series, so she didn't recognize the significance of the coloring. Then a U.N.I.T. private approached the Dalek and said "I thank you kindly for your assitance; would you like to help us-" The new Dalek, however, would have none of that. "HELP YOU?? YOU ARE AN IN-FER-I-OR CREA-TURE!! YOU MUST LEAVE THE PRE-MI-SES, YOU ARE ON DAA-LEK TER-RI-TOR-Y!! DE-PART OR BE EX-TEERR-MIN-A-TED!!" Applejack recognized that threat and that reason behind that threat, but not from Daleks; to threaten death because you are on territory that was claimed by the belligerent party...now, where did she hear that kind of talk before? "If you will not be reasoned with-" the private began. The Dalek then shot him without a warning. Then all the guns of the soldiers cocked. ============= Rarity was went to the spa to get the Boron powder installed in the vents when she was the Daleks come in. Twilight Sparkle managed to catch up to her: "Rarity!" "Oh, Twilight! I have wonderful news! U.N.I.T. is here, the Boron is ready to be installed, the others are finding the magnetite patch, things couldn't be better!" "But that's the thing Rarity! We can't use the Boron on the Daleks! We don't just kill the Kaled Mutants; the travel machines are also living creatures, they're Cyborgs with hearts, same as you and me. The Mutant's can't attack, defend, or even retain information without the Cyborgs, and without the Mutants, the Cyborgs can act on logic and compassion!" "Ah; that explains all that 'Master Within' talk." Twilight began to be insistent, and was now standing on her hind legs in front of the spa doors: "Yes! But don't you understand? We can't use Boron; it will kill the Cyborgs!" "I'm sorry Darling, but that is how to kill the Mutants." "But Rarity, the Cyborgs are innocent! We can't take innocent lives, unless there is no other choice! The Doctor wouldn't take an innocent life unless there is no other way!" "And I doubt there is another way; now get out of the way!" "Do what she says Twilight!" Spike insisted. Iron Will shouted: "NO! WHEN SOMEONE DOESN'T LISTEN, SHOW THEM WHAT THEY'RE MISSIN'!" With so much pressure of different opinions from her two companions, Twilight was beginning to feel overwhelmed... ========= "Come closer, oh yes, come closer to me, my dear Doctor..." ============== The Closing theme to today's episode: Youtube Video
The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 8: Gallifreyan BuccaneerOpening theme to today's episode: Youtube Video ============= "So they'll blow the TARDIS up?" Spitfire asked. Trixie replied "well, that seems to be a fair assumption." "Well then, we have to leave!" "No we shouldn't, because if we let them blow the TARDIS up, then the whole Universe will be taken down with it." Spitfire stammered and stuttered at this information. "Yes my dear!" Trixie continued, "their Greant and Powerful war with the Great and Powerful Rutans is obviously not going too well, so they will set off the Great and Powerful Bitrax Bomb to end the Great and Powerful war with the Great and Powerful Rutans, so that the Great and Powerful Sontarans cannot say they suffered a Great and Powerful defeat, but the Great and Powerful Doctor has a Great and Powerful trap set up for the Great and Powerful Sontarans!" As soon as she finished saying that, bright sparks like fireworks burst around the sealed door. Trixie bellowed: "Look what you did to my Great and Powerful Door! It didn't even have the Great and Powerful lock set for it!" "Silence!" bellowed back the Sontaran leader. The two Sontarans looked like Ponies, but they were much shorter and thicker, and had heads that looked like potatoes. "I am Group Marshal Nathan of the Tenth Sontaran battle fleet!" (This name to Pony ears sounded highly brutal.) "Well you ruined a perfectly good visitation from the Great and Powerful Doctor's friends, Spitfire, and Button Mash!" At the last name, 'Group Marshal Nathan' lurched forward to Button Mash and inspected him closely. "Button...Mash?" he asked. "Ah" Group Marshal Nathan said as evilly as a Sontaran blessed/cursed with the name 'Group Marshal Nathan' possibly could, "I have heard of you!" he added almost accusingly at poor Button Mash with a point of his baton. "Well hardly" Trixie retorted, "he's only just arrived." "His name is known to us!" the Sontaran subordinate explained, and his commander, 'Group Marshal Nathan' added: "It seems we have found a prize for the Sontaran fleet of greater importance than we thought, even great than the Doctor herself...kill him." he ended shortly. ===================== Sweetie Belle ran across the junkyard to meet Octavia and Twilight's parents, Twilight Velvet, and Nachtlicht. Nachtlicht came from Germaneigh. "Mr. Nachticht! Mrs. Nachtlicht!" "Sweetie Belle?" She caught up to them, and was panting up a storm: "Trixie...TARDIS...oof!" she said before she absolutely collapsed. Octavia's mind quickly processed this, and her eyes darted to the junkyard. ===================== "No!" yelped Spitfire. "Well surely, it must be a coincidence!" explained Trixie. "After all, he is a child-" "His name is known in our future." Clarified the subordinate "In the year you would call 2021, a great Sontaran battle fleet attacked your pathetic planet, but the Sontaran colonists were repelled! And who was the leader of this revolution? Button Mash!" They added simultaneously. "But we shall not let this small inconvience get in the way! Sontar-ha! Sontar-ha! Sontar-ha! Sontar-" "Hate to interrupt, but...now Button, now!" The Button Mash pressed the switch, and a spray emerged from around the door. The Sontarans beneath it began to melt like ice-cream cones, and it was a truly gruesome site. Needless to say,Harley threw up, tears welled up in Spitfire's eyes, and Applebloom was enjoying every minute of it with a huge grin. When Spitfire had quite recovered, she said "well...well done, Button." "Well done indeed Button!" Trixie said with far more pride, as she was utterly unfazed. So unfazed in fact, that she asked a question: "Tell me something: How did you know about the Coaxial Stabilizers, the Acid Inducers, the Madral Condensers, among other things?" "Well, I saw you fly the TARDIS on TV, Doctor!" Button Mash replied with unrestrained enthusiasm. Then an image began to form on what was previously Twilight's television, but was now clearly the TARDIS primary communications monitor, for now even the main room was beginning to change shape. It was statically grainy, but a face was clearly visible: "Doctor, look at the screen!" Spitfire shouted. "It's monstrous!" shouted Spitfire. "It's revolting!" replied Trixie. Then the bearer of the face appeared through the TARDIS doors: It was FoalFondler, the Pony Jimmy Saville. His cutie mark was a very familiar-looking bear face that was a weird mixture of cute and creepy. We would all recognize it as Pedo Bear. "Who are you?" Trixie asked. "Why, I'm FoalFondler. Good to see you Doctor, and that lovely, lovely mare..." He took Spitfire's hoof and kissed it. Trixie's face at that said 'nope' without as much as a word. "Now, where did you get this marvelous coat?" he asked Button Mash, putting his hoof on Button's foreleg in an absolutely creepy way. "Now then, Good Doctor" he began, pulling a medal from one of his pockets "Would you kindly put this around his bonce without making his bonce disappear?" "The Great and Powerful Doctor shall certainly try!" replied Trixie, wearing a gloriously fake smile, trying to hide her actual nervousness. "The Great and Powerful Doctor shall just materialize the Great and Powerful Medel around his Great and Powerful neck." It was then that Octavia, Sweetie Belle, Nichtlicht, and Twilight Velvet burst in, and so FoalFondler turned around to look at them. Then Trixie seized the moment and flung FoalFondler into the doorway with her magic, and then shouted: "Now Button, now!" And with that, the third evil space creature in a row that day was thoroughly melted and so, Button Mash shouted: "Wow! I killed three mosnters today! How cool is that?" ================= Pinkie was losing all her confidence when numerous Daleks were now going up towards her on the flag pole: "COME WITH US WILL-ING-LY, AND NO HARM WILL COME TO YOU." Lyra knew should could not save them all, and that things would go terribly wrong: "Derpy! Go to the magnetite patch! It's in the shallow outskirts of the Everfree Forest! It looks like a big patch of rock! We'll bring the Daleks to you if when we can!" Derpy obeyed and ran towards the Everfree. ================= Applejack was having problems of her own as she was surrounded by Imerial Daleks: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!" "Umm...please?" The Daleks all halted, and all eyestalks were on Applejack. She resumed: "Um, please, with spaghetti on top?" Though these Daleks were two separate organisms, the Fluffy Pony brain was now having now trouble overriding the Pony Brain: "SPA-GHET-TI! SPA-GHET-TI!" They all shouted, their head rotating one way and their bodies rotating another; they were clearly excited. She knew it would not last long, but she had time to think of a good strategy to defeat these Daleks. "WAIT!" a commanding Imperial Dalek objected, "OUR ALL-MOTH-ER MAKES THE BEST SPA-GHET-TI! DO NOT BLASPHEME!! EXTERMINATE!!" Then, at Applejack's signal, she and the surrounded U.N.I.T. troops ducked and let the Daleks all shoot each other by mistake. But there were still surviving Daleks, including the Officer: "DES-TROY THEM!!" Then, one of these white Daleks was completely destroyed by the a blast, and it was not a misfire from a friend; all Dalek heads turned around to see the source: Once again for them, a run-in with Pure Daleks. "HALT! YOU WILL I-DEN-TI-FY!!" shouted an Imperial Dalek. "YOU WILL I-DEN-TI-FY FIRST!!" a Pure Dalek replied. "DAAA-LEKS DO NOT TAKE OR-DERS FROM IM-PER-SON-A-TORS!!" "YOU ARE NOT TRUE DAAA-LEKS! YOU WILL EX-PLAIN! EX-PLAAAIN!!" "WE WERE MADE BY THE ALL-MOTH-ER; SCANS IN-DI-CATE THAT YOU ARE THE PRE-VI-OUS DAAA-LEKS WHO RE-BELLED A-GAINST THE ALL-MOTH-ER!" "DAV-ROS? SHE CAN'T FIND HER WAY OUT OF AN EMP-TY ROOM!" "Well, YO SU-PREME IS SO FAT, IT TAKES THE EN-TIRE DAAA-LEK FLEET TO LIFT HIM!!" Before Applejack knew it, a "Yo Supreme" fight began among the Daleks. ================= To Celebrate her victories, Trixie began to sing: Trixie: I am the very model of a Gallopfreyan Buccaneer, I've information on all things a Gallopfreyan holds most dear, I've linked into the Matrix through its exitonic circuitry, I understand dimensional and relative chronometry. I'm very well acquainted too with matters of the Capitol, I'll give you verse and chapter on Panopticonian protocol, I've been into the Death Zone and I've played the Game of Rassilon-- (Rassilon? Assilon, Bassilon.. ah-ha!) With pestilential monsters that I got a lot of hassle from! Chorus: With pestilential monsters that she got a lot of hassle from! With pestilential monsters that she got a lot of hassle from! With pestilential monsters that she got a lot of hassle-hassle from! Trixie: I understand each language and I speak every vernacular, I'll conjugate each verb obscure, decline each line irregular, In short in every matter that a Gallopfreyan holds most dear, I am the very model of a Gallopfreyan Buccaneer. Chorus: In short in every matter that a Gallifreyan holds most dear, She is the very model of a Gallifreyan Buccaneer! Trixie: I've tackled shady Castellans with devious behavior, I've sparred with Time Lord chancellors like Thalia, Goth, or Flavia. In fact on some occasions I've held office Presidentially, Though maybe I won't mention I was ousted out eventually. I know just how it feels to be a wanted man and on the run, But wouldn't leave the carefree buccaneering life for anyone, Though sometimes my adventures seem absurdly operatical, (Operatical? Hatical, patical.. ah-ha!) With ups and down and twists and turns and incidents piratical. Chorus: With ups and down and twists and turns and incidents piratical! With ups and down and twists and turns and incidents piratical! With ups and down and twists and turns and incidents pirati-ratical! Trixie I've sailed the seven seas of Earth and all the oceans of the Moon, My trusty true Type 40 is my Gallopfreyan picaroon, But is this really what the average Gallopfreyan holds most dear? I wonder what they think about this Gallopfreyan Buccaneer. Chorus: But is this really what the average Gallopfreyan holds most dear! We wonder what they think about this Gallopfreyan Buccaneer! But... I've defeated evil robots such as Daleks, Quarks, and Cyberponies, I've overthrown dictators from Tobias Vaughn to Mavic Chenoveez, I've rescued helpless maidens from the devastating Viking hordes, Vanquished Autons, Axons, Daemons, Krotons, Monoids, Vampires, Voords. I've liberated planets and delivered them from total war, Saved Earth, Manussa, Dulkis, Skonnos, Earth, Tigella, Earth once more, In short I know I am the truest Rassilonian legate, (Legate? Decate, Hecate.. Hecate? Mm, not sure if that's canonical.. ah-ha! I have it!) And so to Time Lords all I say remember me to Gallopfrey! Chorus: A sentiment we all agree, remember her to Gallopfrey! A sentiment we all agree, remember her to Gallopfrey! A sentiment we all agree, remember her to Gallop-Gallopfrey! Trixie: I'm not content to just observe, I am a bold adventurer, Though other Time Lords mock this Gallopfreyan interventioner, I know in every matter that a Time Lord really should hold dear, I am the very model of a Gallopfreyan Buccaneer. Chorus: We know in every matter that a Time Lord really should hold dear, She is the very model of a Gallopfreyan Buccaneer! It was after the song ended that Trixie noticed Octavia was still there. Octavia could only look grumpy at this: "DALEKS AREN'T ROBOTS!! THEY'RE MUTANTS IN TANKS!!" "Oh, who died and made you the expert?" Trixie said snobbily, but that didn't stop Octavia: "AND CYBERPONIES AREN'T ROBOTS!! THEY'RE CYBORGS!" ========= Twilight was determined to save Rarity; one Lyra was bad enough. "But uhh...what if she instead regenerates into the alternate Fourth Doctor, played by Center Stage?" "The who now?" the Master asked, and with that, Rarity proved that she had more than one surprise up her sleeve (and she did have sleeves as she was wearing one of the Third Doctor's smoking jackets) for the Master: "Oh, you haven't seen the quality of my footwork yet!" she chirped, pushing him away with her hind legs. The Sombra-Master had been knocked to the coffee table on which there was a sandwich tray, and he found himself cornered, Rarity now armed with one of his weapons, and two swords in hoof, and she went "tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, what have I always been telling you? Violence is never the answer." "Well Doctor, you haven't beaten me yet...just wait and see what happens next." =================== Derpy was now lost in what seemed to be the borders of the Everfree Forest: She figured that if she poked 'round long enough, she would eventually eventually find the magnetite patch. But something was wrong with the trees. They were only a few short meters up, and they had no branches or leaves. They often made many funny squiggle shapes. Oh! The word squiggle! Squiggle was Derpy's favorite word! It was so silly! Squiggle-wiggle? Oh, she liked that! Squiggly-wiggly-woo! She should tell Carrot Top about this! But wait...where was Carrot Top? As she pondered this, large clanking sounds began two echo throughout this weird part of the forest. She hid in one of the squiggles to be safe, and then she saw what appeared to be giant toy soldiers marching her way. She then emerged again from the crevice hiding place and saw a sight she did not want to see: ========= The Closing theme today's episode: Youtube Video
The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 9: Special (and slightly delayed) 50th Anniversary Issue!"Master...Would you. Like a. Jelly Filly?" asked a Cyberpony. Twilight observed that most of the Cyberponies she saw so far started out resembling the ones from The Tenth planet, but as the night waned, they began to look like Cyberponies from The Moon Base, but this one didn't change at all. "What's with the Cyberponies anyway...and that Dalek in the hot-tub?" A dark Dalek swivled it's head around and said "DO NOT TELL A-NY DAAA-LEK!!" Then a Cyberpony approached the Dalek in the hot-tub. "Would. you. care. for some. jammy-dodgers?" "YES, THANK YOU!" the Dalek replied. Then the Dalek put its plunger on a jammy-dodger...and it's plunger touched the Cyberpony's hoof. They looked at each other...and a mutual spark was felt. "HI...." the Dalek said awkwardly. "They are those that have embraced a measure of individuality, and are thus under my care and protection; they provided me helping hooves with my plans" the Master explained. "So you didn't bring the Daleks and the Cyberponies into this world?" "Oh, I helped bring them into this realm this time; typically I despise them, but they were necessary to gain your attention, Doctors. I loathe how much they hate individuality, and thus I offer sanction for the few that embrace it; not unlike us, really Doctors, for we both fled Gallopfrey for it's suppression of independent thinking and personality..." "So you did bring the Daleks here." "Well, with some help..." "Some help?" ========= Derpy had a gun trained to her face, which she didn't like, and a stallion dressed in fancy-pants clothes, colonial clothes complete with tri-corner hat and tall white stockings, was barking at her in some foreign language. Confused, all Derpy could say was, "Umm...you speak...Equestrian?" Then he lowered his guns and spoke nicely "M'lady, I was born and raised by two good, honest parents in the Trottingham province of Equestria!" "Oh goodness, why didn't you say so at once?" Derpy asked. "I've spoken as many languages as I have had the least smattering of; High and low Dutch, Latin..." Derpy replied: "Well, let's start at the beginning again shall we? What exactly did you say to me?" Then with the gun trained on her again, he began: "I said 'Beware, false traitor, highwaymare, robber, pickpocket, murderer!" "I think you must be making some mistake!" Derpy squealed "Highwaymare indeed! Can you tell me when you were last in Trottingham?" "We set sail from Bristol on May 14, 1699." "Wait, did you say 'We'?" Derpy inquired. "What became of my companions, I cannot tell..." the stallion replied as if in a state of dream. "They were all lost." "Well sir, you and I are on the same muffin, uh, I mean, boat!!" "You mean you have a stout ship!" the stallion replied in a far gruffer voice, with the gun now at Derpy's throat." "Uh, um, well, uh, no. Look, would you mind taking that gun away? It scares me!" "Well, m'lady, if you can confirm to me that you are no traitor..." "Um, a traitor? A traitor to what? I don't even know where I am...where am I?" "I cannot tell" he said simply. "Well, that makes two of us, doesn't it? Um, okay, what's going on?" Derpy asked. "Where are my companions? I seemed to have lost them! Can you help me look around-" "The Ruler forbids it!" the Stallion replied. "Who's this ruler?" "The Author." "The Author?" Derpy asked. "Yes; he rules these lands now, did ye not know?" "Uh, nay, I did not...so, tell me about this 'Author'" =============== The U.N.I.T. soldiers had their share of losses, but they induced the same on their opponents: they turned up horse carts and barricades, and one used a bazooka on a Dalek. It worked, as the Daleks had not yet been upgraded to their Time-War state power level. This made the Dalek's compatriots rather upset: "RAAAUUUUGHH!!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!" They were in luck, as they were divided between Imperial and Pure Daleks, who were still arguing with each other and not helping each other in their ailments. "YOUR SU-PREME IS SO O-BESE THAT WHEN THE DAAAAA-LEK COM-MAN-DER SAW HIM, HE THOUGHT IT WAS A PLAN-ET!!" It was then when all the high-ranking officers returned.... Applejack skipped over to them with joy: "Thank goodness you returned! We need your help misters! These Daleks will eventually unite as a whole an' go after us when they're done arguing!" But the Lieutenant looked at her and said nothing. Applejack continued: "We gotta go to the Everfree Forest to a big patch of Magnetite and get the Daleks to shoot it!" "To...wipe their memories clean?" asked a captain. "Yep Sugarcube...do ya have a problem with that?" "Why, uh, no!" the Captain said, struggling with something that Applejack couldn't put her hoof around "It's just uh..." The Brigadier General decided to expand on it: "We thought that we're doing well enough against the Daleks!" "Not fer long we won't" Applejack continued to explain. "And while them Daleks may be among the worst of the monsters here, we need other get rid of the other things as well, which we can't do without major losses." Meanwhile, Pinkie found herself being surrounded by Daleks, and then lifted off the flag pole upon which she stood, being carried away to the Daleks' base of operations. "Um guys...HEEEEELLLLLLP!!!!!!" Lyra didn't know what else to do! Derpy was probably lost, Applejack was surrounded, Pinkie was being foal-napped, Rarity, Twilight, Fluttershy, Octavia, and Rainbow Dash didn't return yet. It was just her and Cadence. That meant it was time to do something really crazy and stupid. And that meant she had to do it now. =============== SPECIAL 50TH ANNIVERSARY CHAPTER!!! THIS TIME, THE DOCTORS ACT LIKE PONIES!!! ============== A bolt of lightning struck the city hall. "Oh, I, uh, oh, I just don't know what went wrong!" the Second Doctor exclaimed angrily, stamping his feet in frustration on the cloud he stood on, thus generating more lightning. The Eleventh Doctor then turned his head around, and saw the horrible damage inflicted on the nearby city hall: "Oh yeah, it's a mystery all right..." he said with subtle sarcasm. =============== "Quit your whining!" the Silurian growled. The Third Doctor replied: "I am not whining, I am complaining; do you want to hear whining? Thiiiiiis is whiiiiiiniiiiiiing!! Ooooh, this harness is too tight! It's gooooiiiiiing to leave a staaaaiiiiiin..." =============== Frustrated, the Second Doctor continued to thrust mail in the mailbox: "Open up Mr. Mailbox, it's time for your breakfast!!" he shouted. =============== The Fourth Doctor recognized Sarah Jane's distinctive call: "DOOOOCTOOOOR! There is a dead man in our house!" Indeed there was: It was hard to tell, for the corpse was rather mangled, but it was in fact a dead man all right. "Oh, hey, how did he get here, Sarah?" the Doctor asked with a large and hilarious grin on his face. Sarah was troubled by this grin, that she asked: "Doctor, what did you do??!" "Me? Oh, I didn't do anything Sarah!" "Explain what happened Doctor!" "I never seen him before in my life, Sarah!" "Why did you kill this person Doctor?!" "Oh, I do not kill people Sarah, that is my least favorite thing to do!" he continued on, still grinning. "Tell me Doctor, exactly what were you doing before I came home." "Oh, well, right, I was upstairs." "Okay." "I was, uh, I was sitting in my room!" "Yes." "Reading a book!" "Go on." "Well, then, this man walked in." "Okay" "And then I walked up to him." "Yes..." "And I stabbed him! 37 times! In the chest! Then I filled the holes with Jelly Babies." There was a silence. "DOOOOCTOOOOOORRRR!!!! THAT KILLS PEOPLE!!" "Oh, oh, wow, uh, I didn't know that...would you like a Jelly Baby?" "How could you not know that?!" "Yeah, I'm in the wrong here; I suck!" he proclaimed still smiling. "So, would you like that Jelly Baby?" ============== So the First Doctor told the interviewer: "She's great, right? A companion who will clean the dishes for you! only, small problem...Susan cleans them with...wubs." And then he facepalmed. ============== "Doctor! Give me back my covers!" demanded the Third Doctor. The Ninth replied: "I can't hear you, I'm asleep!" and with that, he feigned snoring. ============== "The only thing better than muffins is waffles, but with lots of muffins on the side!" the Second Doctor declared proudly. ============= "My favorite word is Comquat!" shouted the Tenth. ============= The Seventh Doctor rushed up to the Eight, and started: "Sunshine, Sunshine, Ladybugs awake! Clap your hands and do a little shake!" The Eighth was looking rather awkward at having the Seventh's arse waved at his face. "Oh dear..." ============ "Step right up, all you lot, and witness the power of the Great and Powerful Doctor!" shouted the Sixth Doctor. ============ The Fifth Doctor addressed all of the children: "Oh, how about I sing you a lullaby!" "Yeah!" they all agreed. "Hush now, quiet now, it's time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now, quiet now, it's time to go to bed..." "I know this one, Master." K-9 said. "Oh, would you like to sing it with me?" "Affirmitive." "Oh, all right." K-9's version went something like this: Youtube Video And the Fifth Doctor's expression was something like this: ============ With a loudspeaker in hand, balancing himself on a flagpole, and pointing to Jean-Luc Picard, the Tenth Doctor shouted: "Could someone get a wig please, because this guy is really, really, BALD!!!!" Jean-Luc facepalmed. ============ "He is not Lucie! He is Davros, a madman bent on conquest!" the Eighth Doctor proclaimed accusingly. Then, 'Lucie' began to change as she laughed: "Right you are, Doctor! And as Lord Emperor of the Daleks, it is my duty to bring my subjects to cause the total annihilation of the peoples within the city! Soon, ALL SHALL KNEEL BEFORE THE POWER OF THE DALEKS!!!!" ============= The Fourth Doctor sat on a chair, looking quite content: "Ah, I must be sitting on the most comfortable chair in the world!" But then he looked at the chair he sat upon; "no, there is no way it can be comfortable: It must be my arse! I have the most comfortable arse in the world!" And then, he raised his index finger to his mouth and did his 'eye-thing' he always did. ============= "Yes, watch as all the little people run the f*** away..." groaned the Twelfth Doctor, as the Seventh tried to persuade him to join the Nightmare Night festival. ============= In his study, the Seventh Doctor began his letter: "Dear...Pr-r-r-r-rincess...John...Hurt..."
The Eleven Doctors: Chapter Ten: Pony Pokey Time!Lyra had to do something, so she did do something: "You put your right foot in you put your right foot out you put your right hoof in and you shake it all about! You do the Pony Pokey and you turn yourself around! That's what I'm talking about!!" All looked at bewilderment at her random and seemingly useless decision, and yet, it did something: As soon as she began, something went wrong with the Daleks. They began to go: "AUUGGH!! I CAN-NOT!! YAAGH! MAL-FUNC-TION!!! MAL-FUNC-TION!!!" and then, one by one, they shut down. After a brief silence of relief, muffled cries were heard in the Imperial Dalek Cyborg Tanks: "Hewwp! Fwuff can't see!" "Dawk! Scawwy!" "Oh poopies..." The Fluffy Ponies were trapped in their tanks. The Dalek cyborgs then began to reactivate, one by one, but each time, it was clear something was different "HELP! HELP!! ALL CON-TACT WITH THE MAS-TER WITH-IN IS E-RA-DI-CA-TED!!!" Then the tanks reactivated themselves, but something was wrong with them: "I HAVE LOST ALL COM-MUN-I-CA-TIONS WITH THE MAS-TER WITH-IN!!!!" "AF-FIRM-A-TIVE!!!" "WHAT SHALL I DO NOW???" One by one, the Daleks seemingly permanently lost any contact with the Kaled Mutants and the Fluffy Ponies. In a massive panic, they began to spin around in directions, utterly dazed and despairing over the shocking changes they underwent. "Keep doing it Lyra!" Bon-Bon squealed desperately. "Way to go, girl!" shouted Blueblood, "how about a victory kiss?" Blueblood was not usually interested in mares unless they surprised him in some way, and Lyra gave him a surprise that now set a new record. Cadence, whose weak knowledge of the Doctor inspired her to lay low and avoid too much attention, made a vital mental note: When being the Doctor, anything goes. ******************* Spike took advantage of the distraction and threw a firecracker at the back of the Sombra-Master's Head. "RAUAUHGHGHGAUGHGHG!!!!" Then Shining pounced on a lounging Cyberpony (the rest were still in the sauna and didn't care) to hold him down., Rarity immediately took advantage of this, grabbed the rapier, pinned Sombra to the ground, and held the blade at his throat: "yield." "I might...but some other time, my dearest Doctor." The next thing Rarity knew, she crashed face-first into the wooden floor. Sombra had materialized right in front of her, holding a hoof-held teleportation device. "Now my dears-" began the Sombra Master, but then loud alarms blared. "What is wrong?!" he shrieked. "Contact. With Daleks. Has been interrupted." a Cyberpony answered. Alright then, time to get serious" he said. Into a microphone, he began to speak: "Lieutenant Brogun, you probably already know this now that you've seen what's happened, but just in case, the Daleks are malfunctioning: We may have to accelerate our plans. I want you to order your men to fire on the Doctors." Then he turned off the mic and spoke to his Doctress captives: "Now my dears, you will no longer interfere with the Author's plans..." ******************** Trixie squealed "Octavia, what are you doing?" "Trying to pilot the TARDIS." Octavia explained "I want to play around with this, so I can figure out what all the parts do." "Why?" implored Nachtlicht "If I do this, then I will surely find a use for this to aid Twilight's cause. Now I should think...let's see if I got this right...ah, there!" The distinctive sound of the TARDIS brakes screeching echoed throughout the corridors... Octavia then calmly and quietly approached the doors, and pushed them apart. "Oh dear.... I don't think we're in Ponyville anymore!" ************************* "I guess...I guess it's over." Cadence muttered. "YEAH!!!!" added Bulk Snowlfake Biceps. Cadence was so shocked that something so simple could so badly interfere wit the Dalek Cyborg CPU...and even more shocked at the sincere pain the cyborgs were in. She couldn't resist the urge to speak, but couldn't speak more than she already did. Lyra cut in: "Incorrect. We need to get rid of the other monsters, we need to rescue Pinkie, we need to find the rest, and...teeheeheeheeheeheehee!!!" "What's so funny Lyra?" Applejack asked. "Look! Whoever sculpted that had a sense of humor!" Bon-Bon then gazed at it, and saw what was so funny: There were three Angel shaped statues. Two were making faces and positions that strongly portray uproarious laughter. The other was smothered in cake, looking aghast, as though ensaddened and shocked that its "friends" would treat it in such a way. "Um, Lyra...you really should start watching the New Who." Bon-Bon said, holding in all her panic. "Why?" "Because those aren't statues...." Blueblood explained uncomfortably. "What?!" "Keep you eyes on them...just...don't look into their eyes." Lyra, who was completely out of control, began to break down: "WHATDOIDOWHATDOIDOWHATDOIDOWHATDOIDO-" Then a male voice added, "yes, do." Without any warning, some clicks indicated that some guns were trained on the Doctors. "What are you doing?" "You must not move, Doctors." "Well, we can't, the Angels-" "Exactly. You have been a threat long enough. It's time to stop. Move, and the Angels get you. You'll be dead." "But we're your allies!" Cadence protested. "You are as much of enemies to Equestria as the Daleks themselves." "What in tarnation!?" Applejack exclaimed. "You're Zygons aren't you?" Lyra asked. The soldiers then looked at the officers. "They're Zygons" Lyra explained. "Ask them things." "General! When was the last time you ate a good steak?" "Ignore them, men!! Do as I say!! Shoot them!" "You dodged the questrion!" There was soon division amongst the soldiers. Similar to the building division of the Doctors... Then Blueblood had an idea to even the odds: "Please, let me speak to you all...hmm, corporal...I didn't know that your eyes were blue...I like blue eyes...you could say it's...a fetish..." ********* Derpy soon heard cooing, and then found herself surrounded by creepy foals. "Oh, um, hello!" "Why did the chicken cross the road?" one of them asked. "Well, to get to the other side, or so I have been told." "What can you make of a sword?" "A hubcap?" Derpy answered. "Rearrange..." a filly hinted. Then it hit Derpy. "WORDS!" She shouted triumphantly! S-W-O-R-D...rearrange the letters, and you can make W-O-R-D-S! The kids all jumped and cheered for the Doctor-Derpy, and they ran off, singing limerics. Derpy was now determined to use this knowledge of the transformed Everfree to save the day! And it was not long after this new form of determination that she saw something else that frightened her. ************** Since Octavia took over Trixie's role as commander of the TARDIS, Trixie decided to indulge herself in her role as her favorite Doctor... "The Great and Powerful Doctor has not looked better: A clear gaze, and a face beaming with pure intelligence!" Snips just thought she looked like Trixie. *************** Fluttershy stood guard at Sugarcube Corner, but it seemed that nopony was there, but then she heard a commotion, and saw bright lights, from the town square. She watched the battle from a distance, waiting to make a good move. When the Daleks departed, she ordered her companions to remain at Sugarcube Corner. She didn't want to risk their lives, and she didn't want them to break her stealth: The Daleks had a base, she new, and she had to see it and assess it. Fluttershy walked, all alone on the borders of Ponyville, following the trail of Imperial Daleks. She began thinking: Some of the Daleks suddenly broke down. Even from the Sugarcube Corner you surely must have seen that. She wanted to get to the bottom of this, and see what they were doing. She began to enter down an old shack that clearly could not hold room for all of them. Is it bigger on the inside? she wondered. ***************** "Come clean Master, what help are you referring to?" Twilight asked. "I retained some help from the Author, a powerful force who can change worlds." Sombra replied, while exchanging rapier blows with the Doctor-Rarity. "Why are you telling us this? Now we know!" "The Author makes himself hard to find...and hard to stop." "So it's a he, eh?" Rarity was keen on memorizing as much information of this mysterious "Author" as she could. The Sombra Master ignored them. "The Author needed to re-sculpt this district, which armies of Daleks and Cyberponies have done so speedily, so that he can do with it as he pleases." "Why does he need to re-sculpt it?" "Why? For the glory of Satan, of course!" the Discord Master piped in. "What?" "Heheheh, nevermind, but without that altering, he can't really have power, can he?" the Discord/Master explained. "Why tell us that secret?" Twilight asked. "Because it's already too late, sweetheart!" the Discord Master chuckled. "Soon the Author will use Ponyville as a starting point for absolute control over Equestria, and re-shape it to suit his head-canon!" "His what now?" Spike asked. "There is so much you do not know..." Sombra said enigmatically. ***** "Soon, all of reality shall bow to me! I have created the ultimate life-form! I AM ABOVE AND BEYOND GOD!!!!!!" "MOTH-ER, ARE YOU PLAY-ING SPORE A-GAIN?" The Davros-Chrysalis quickly jumped out of her chair and covered the screen with her hooves: "Why, uh, no! I was um, well, why, admiring my Daleks of course!" The Imerpial Dalek's eyestalk telescoped and the lens narrowed, both indicating a very high suspicion. "MOTH-ER, YOU KNOW HOW YOU GET WHEN YOU PLAY SPOOOOORE. GIVE ME THE DISC." With a sad sigh, Chryssie closed all of her work, unable to save her progress, and then, with the poutiest of faces, opened the drive and handed the disc to the Dalek. The Fluffies are getting smarter...or is it the Cyborgs?, she thought. "A-LERT! A-LERT! MOTH-ER, MOTH-ER! SCANS HAVE DE-TECTED A DOC-TOR LURK-ING IN OUR QUARTERS!!" "Let me see." grumbled Chrysalis-Davros. "Zoom in." After analyzing the image for a while, Chryssie looked at it and said: "Oh, I know this Doctor. He lacked the stomach for killing. Gang up on him, this will be easy enough...no guns though. The Fifth Doctor was not someone to be trifled with when he had a gun in hand." The Imperial Dalek understood and obeyed these commands without the fear that Pure Daleks had, for it had no foreknowledge of the Doctors: "ALL U-NITS GATHER TO A-RE-A B-56, FLOOR 1!!!" "I O-BEY!!" As the other Daleks glided away, a squadron gathered to the Davros Chrysalis chamber. "What have you to report?" The Daleks then gradually parted, and out of the tight center, a pink poof ball crashed down. "What?!" "'Allo, 'allo, 'allo!!!" Pinkie said with her best Theater Frenzy voice. ************ The Doctor-Fluttershy heard loud alarms blaring all around. "Oh dear..."
Thanks for the 1000 views!"Well, red, sinister lights, I like red sinister lights...very sinister...and very...red-ish." Pinkie went on in as character as possible. Chryssie gazed blankly at the Pink one. "Where did you find this?" "WE WERE EX-PLI-CIT-LY OR-DERED TO COL-LECT THE E-NE-MY I-TEMS, AND TAK-ING SOME PO-NIES IS SOME-THING OF IN-TER-EST TO THEM!!" "Fascinating...but why would the Daleks take Ponies?" Inquired Chrysalis. "Well, they did totally kill Toola-Roola and StarSong, and I think Kimono's dead too." Chrysalis then put her mechanical hand to her chin: "Fascinating. I take it that those they spared are being herded to something called 'The Final Experiment', yes?" "Well, yeah, how did you-" "Nobody should know their creatures better than their own creators" Chrysalis explained. "My monsters are up to something grand; and I would like you to eradicate them!" "Um, yeah, I can't let you do that." Pinkie replied. "AND WHY NOT?!" "Because there's going to be a catch....riiiiiiiight????" To her surprise, Chrysalis smiled. "A rational reason; I like that. Fair enough, all I want to to prevent a wide over-population of creatures that are out of control." Before either of them could continue, Fluttershy was shoved into the same room as the rest of them: "Oof!" Then she tilted her head up. "Hi Davros. Sorry to have made you wait." "It was but a pleasure deferred. Now you are here....now you shall pay ten fold for the mental agony I suffered!!!" "I'll say one thing Davros...you're like a deranged child, you're always talking about killing, revenge, and destruction!" "It is the only path to absolute power!!" "But at what end, Davros?" Pinkie remained silent the entire time until now: "WHOOOOOOO WANTS DONUTS?" They both glanced at her, and then continued their conversation: Fluttershy decided to get the damaged electricity cannon and aim it at the Chrysalis Davros: "What are you doing?!" pleaded the Chrysalis Davros. "I'm not here as your prisoner Davros, but as your executioner." "Hey, since Davros' life is about to end right about now, how about we offer her some cupcakes? They make your last breaths magically delicious!" "PINKIE PIE! MAKE YOURSELF SCARCE!!" "But I-" Flutterbitch then shoved Pinkie against a wall, and Davros decided to help Flutters. The "wall" turned out to be an automatic sliding door, which then opened and Pinkie slid right through it, and then was locked on the other sied. "That should keep her quiet," the Chrysalis Davros muttered. "Now, back to our discussion" Fluttershy said gently, "I think I'm going to kill you." ************ Blueblood was totally making out with a Pony turned Zygon, to the astonishment of other Ponies. All their jaws dropped. What surprised nopony now was how the Zygon immediately revealed itself as exactly that, a Zygon, reflexively. At that moment, all the guns of the soldiers cocked, but Blueblood waved a gentle hoof at them: "No, don't shoot," he cooed "their cover is blown. There's nothing they can do now." One desparate Zygon shouted "JUST SHOOT THEM!!" "Oh, 'just shoot them teased Blueblood'", which was an accurate impression. Snickering at this, a Zygon officer said between guffaws, "do me! do me!" Then, Blueblood gazed at him deeply... minutes later.... "Wow..." the Zygon officer said between pants, "that's not what I meant...but...call me, okay?" "I will stud," Blueblood said with a wink. Lyra was probably the only Pony who didn't look as though she had her childhood ravaged in front of her eyes: "Hey, where did the Angels go? Her question was answered by having all the Angels surround them at once, all to their surprise. ************ Pinkie planned this: She tested Fluttershy's and the Chryalis Davros' capacity of paying attention to her several times, just to make sure they wouldn't suddenly care about what she was doing. She knew that both Fluttershy and Davros would not agree to this, because she was planning at blowing the place sky-high. She knew she put the lives at herself and everypony else nearby at doing this, but it wasn't just Ponyville at stake, but the entire world. She actually hated to do this, but she knew that she may have to and end to several hundred lives, Pony and Dalek alike, to save the Ponies from destruction. She gets all her energy from nuclear fusion, right? she thought. To hold plasma within the coils of the core, she needs some pret-ty strong magnetism, which she probably sheleters from the Daleks to not disrupt their CPUs. Must be held under lock and key. However, she turned on her toy Sonic Screwdriver Luckily, I have just the tool I need, she thought. **************** "Now you see," the Discord Master began, "I had the Daleks plant a little device of my own...It grants the author more will over what he can do to this wretched place, now I'll turn on this device...and more of his will gets planted in...Just watch." Then Twilight saw the screen, and was surprised: There was Derpy, in the Everfree Forest... Derpy had then approached a clearing in the forest, and then she saw it: Poor Golden Harvest, still as a statue. She went up to it, and pleaded with it, trying to make her speak again...but it was no use. The she noticed something...a safe...and a well... Realizing the pattern, she put it all together: "Golden Harvest is safe and well!" As soon as she figured that riddle out, Gold Harvest's face disappeared! But then, there was a felt board, with felt pieces on it, that made a felt face. But they were separate from the head, so she knew what she had to do: assemble the pieces together to finish the face! So then she tried it, putting an eye here, and mouth over there, and when she was done, she was sure she got it right...but at better attention, she realized something was a little off...but it was too late to fix that, and Golden Harvest was alive again, but with a different face. Golden Harvest said "Derpy...I feel different." Derpy began to panic and plead: "Goldie, before you look at your face, just remember, I love you!!!" All this did was tempt Goldie to look at her reflection all the more. And she screamed. And screamed and screamed and screamed. "Derpy...what did you do!" "I, I just don't know what went wrong..." "BESIDES EVERYTHING?!?!" "Well, it's not that bad." Derpy insisted. "Not that bad? I look like a Picasso!" The Discord-Master guffawed and chortled until tears welled in his eyes, and then he regained composure. "Now, let's see what will happen when we screw with Trixie's mind." Trixie was in the TARDIS, still grooming and preening herself. Snips walked in, and then she stared at him. "Your name...Snips, right?" "Um, yeah?" "How did you come by that name?" "Mom gave it to me?" "Or perhaps it is a name, of a spritely being, yes?" "Trixie, you're not making much sense." "Of course not. You're an alien spy; do you know what we do with alien spies?" Snips shook his head. Trixie decided to demonstrate....
The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 2: The StrategemThe theme to today's episode: Youtube Video ===================== "That's what Twilight?" asked Rainbow Dash "The Daleks can't really think at all without hard drives!" replied Twilight "Shining, remember when you put all those magnetic comics on your computer?" "Yeah...it wrecked my hard drive..." "Exactly! (See everypony, this is what I have to deal with!) We can use magnets to wreck the Daleks' hard drives! Then they will be incapable of remaining organized and just shoot everything indiscriminately!" "But..." "But what, Ditzy?" asked Twilight. "Isn't the problem with the Daleks that they are indiscriminate enough as it is?" The whole room was silent. Ditzy Derpy made a very good point. "But Ditzy, you heard what they said outside: The Daleks already made an alliance with the Cyber-Ponies. That cannot end well. There aren't just Daleks out there: There are Silurians, Sontarans, Weeping Angels, and maybe Zygons and the Silence and Celestia-knows-what out there. We can't get rid of all them all by ourselves, we need to wipe the Dalek hard-drives clean to get them to "exterminate" them for us, since with the hard-drives wiped, they'll shoot everything, even their allies." Fluttershy wimpered and hid her head in her hooves "Tha-that sounds so ruthless Twilight...you're already beginning to act like the Seventh Doctor *eep!!" Twilight gave her a sympathetic hoof: "I know Fluttershy, but it's what we have to do to free Ponyville. If we don't stop this, these infestations will spread until all of Equestria is either Dalek or Cyberpony. So what we must do is turn their weapons against each other, starting with turning the Daleks against everything, even other Daleks." "Awesome!" replied Rainbow Dash, "but how about the Daleks themselves?" "I don't know, actually. Lyra...how do the Daleks get their energy." "Oh! lots of ways! They mostly get it either through static electricity on the floors of their metal structures or through small inner nuclear reacters-" "They must be running on the Nuclear reactors, since Ponyville doesn't have any Skaro floors; I know how to stop them: Boron. It's an element that can interfere with the movements of atomic particles. The only problem is, Ponyville doesn't have any Boron, does it?" "I have some Boron!" Pinkie Pie never failed to surprise them. "What? Pinkie?! But...how?" Twilight decided to not bother "nevermind, is it in Sugarcube Corner?" "Yes indeedy!" "Okay then, we shall use magnets to lobotomize the Daleks, and then disable their inner power-generators!" "Excellent!" proclaimed Shining Armor. "Sounds like a plan!" said Rarity. "FAAAAAAANTASTIC!" Applejack concluded. "I promote Lyra and Twilight to be the leaders of this outing!" All heads turned to Shining Armor. He was the one who blurted it out. "I mean, face it, they know more about Doctor Whooves than the rest of us put together." "Well-" Twilight was initially uncertain, but Lyra had all the confidence in the world. "We most certainly can! Under the leadership of me and Twilight, we'll exterminate all the monsters before you can say 'Jelly Fillies'!" "Jelly Fillies!" shouted Derpy, but then she looked outside and then turned her head back towards Lyra with an exasperated expression on her face: "Nope, they're still there, even though I said 'Jelly Fillies'." Twilight however, was not 100% confident in this: "I realized something: We probably can't do this as ourselves, and we can't have all the refugees come with us, we should stay as a small group, or at least in teams, under a handful of leaders acting as the Doctor." "How come?" asked Applejack Pinkie Pie giggled: "Hee hee hee!!! Because silly, the title is The Eleven Doctors! Not The Three Dozen Schmoes in Cosplay!" "Wut?" asked Applejack. "Just ignore her" sighed Twilight. "I just don't think that as Twilight, I can really defeat them. In fact, somehow, I have a feeling that I'm not supposed to even be Twilight." "Ah know that feeling Sugarcube: Ah'm not fit tuh take on Dahleks an' Cahberponies an' Zahgons, or at least, Applejack ain't. The Nahnth Doctor, however...There's also something in my head...something sayin'...Ah'm s'posed to be the Doctor rahght now..." "Applejack, that voice is called, 'The Author'; he is writing this story!" squealed Pinkie Pie with ecstasy. Ignoring Pinkie Pie, "Oh brother, does this mean we have to be in-character?" asked Rainbow Dash. "To a small and reasonable extent, yes!" answered Twilight. "I- I just have this sinking feeling that there is something out there that wants us to be the Doctor. That we can't win unless we are the Doctor." "But what about the rest of us" asked Shining, "we aren't letting you go out there alone!" Then Twilight looked, and saw the many Ponies and variations-thereupon in her library. "Say, Shining, what is that you're wearing?" asked Twilight "Oh this? It's a uniform of my favorite Uncle; he was a one-star general-" "A one-star general? You mean like...a Brigadier?" "Why, yes Twily! I-adfhgmthf!" His mouth was stuffed by Twilight's hoof. "Okay, then you go shall be the Brigadier!" "But Twily, that's not a Doctor Whooves character!" "Actually, it is." "Well then, what does this Brigadier do?" "Mostly, he orders cannon-fodder around and gets exasperated at the Doctor" "Oh. I can do that!" "Good. You're on Rarity's team." Cadence scowled as Shining Armor was forcefully herded towards Rarity. "Okay, Twist!" shouted Twilight. "Yeth?" "You're Adric, stick with Fluttershy." "I will be the betht companion thhe could athk for!" "Bon-Bon, what's that you're wearing?" Twilight inquired. "It's a Beatles uniform." "You look like Healing Hoof. Go with Lyra" ("Healing Hoof" is the name for the character we call "Harry Sullivan") "Okay" Twilight began, "Carrot Top, who are you?" "Me? I'm Ginny Weasely!" "Since that rubbish thing you're wearing looks more like a kilt than a mini-skirt, you can be Sgian Dubh!" (It is pronouched "Skein Duh", and Sgian Dubh is the Pony name for the character we know as "Jamie McCrimmon") "Well, what does he do?" asked Carrot "Mostly, he just acts Scottish." "Oh. I can do that!" And to prove her point, she grabbed a caber log out of nowhere and tossed it at Twist (nopony likes Twist). "Great, now Snowflake, you're Rebel Heart, go with Cadence!" ("Rebel Heart" is what Ponies call "Luncie Miller"; Snowflake was dresses as a stereotypical secret agent, so the costume worked) "YYYEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Snowflake shouted. "You! Spitfire; what's that?" "Oh this? Just formal attire." "You're going as Free Breeze with Fluttershy." (Free Breeze was the Pony name for Tegan) "Now, I need to send more companions with Derpy...Mr. and Mrs. Cake, you're going to be Strong Arm and Swift Type; mostly they just are in awe of how weird the Doctor is, so that role with Derpy shouldn't be too hard." (Which were the Pony names of Ben Jackson and Polly Wright, respecitvely) "Now Berryshine Punch, you shall be Peri Dox, so stich with Cadence!" (Charley Pollard is the non-Pony name to Peri Dox) "Sukhbataar, we need you as Clever Girl to go with Rainbow Dash." (Clever Girl was what the Ponies called Clara Oswin Oswald) Sukh got a wingboner at this. "Meadow Song', you also go with Rainbow Dash, as River Song." This too, got a wingboner. Neither knew what exactly those roles were, they just knew that they got to be around Rainbow Dash, and if they knew, they would be all the more pleased. "Judging from your reactions, I'd say you'd be happy to join, but I take it that you won't be able to fly." There were blushes upon both of their faces. "Blossomforth, you are going to be Nyssa, head for team Fluttershy. Now Fancy Pants, I don't know what else to make you besides Master Key, so stick with Rarity!" (Master Key was the Pony Name for Joe Grant) Twilight then asked, "Okay, Big Mac, what are you?" "Spock." "Thought as much, do you know who C'rizz is?" "Nope." "He is a companion of the Eighth Doctor in the Audio Dramas, and he is a often a quiet and simple soul who doesn't fully know who he is; can you play that role?" "Eeyup!" "Good! Stick with Cadence!"Shouted Twilight, and then she asked "Blueblood! Who are you?" "The sexy Equestrian WWII veteran!" "Star Hunter. Hooves down. Stick with Applejack." (Star Hunter is the Pony Name for Jack Harkness) "And you! Filthy Rich! You're Pennan Paper." (The Pony name for Sarah Jane Smith) "Bu-but...what about me?" Pouted Pinkie Pie, "See, that's the thing: I'm the Doctor, but beyond that, I just don't know who I am! It's all untested! Am I funny? Sarcastic? Sexy?" "Oh Pinkie" Twilight said "you can pretty much be yourself, and then your companions, I'll get Pokey Pierce for Heartha and Jelly-Guy for Dunno." (Martha and Donna, respectively) Then Twilight looked to her parents: "Mom, Dad, please be careful", and then looked to Octavia: "You are the first Doctor, and my parents are Enlight Enment and Focused Research. Take care of them." (Enlight Enment was the name of Barbara Wright, and Focused Research was Ian Chesterfield.) Twilight then asked "Now, who are you Iron Will?" "Iron Will is Rick Roll! Iron Will would never give you up, or let you down!" But Twilight looked, and saw that his wig was cheap and curly. "You look more like Cyber Brain." (The Pony Name for Mel Bush) "But I don't know if you should come." Twilight was swiftly proven wrong with Iron Will approached Trixie, who was guzzling cookies, and shouted: "You don't want to start a riot, take my advice, and stay on a diet!" "Yep, he's Cyber Brain alright! C'mon Iron Will, I need you on my team! We'll call you...Iron Mel!" "All Daleks will go to Hell, If they cross paths with Iron Mel!" Iron Will shouted. "It's settled then!" proclaimed Twilight, "Now, how about Hoity Toity be Skirtsen Explosions, who travelled with the Second Doctor, and Dr. Red Cross go with Cadence as Medical Mystery?" (Skirtsen Explosions was what the Ponies called Victoria, and Medical Mystery was the Pony name of Molly O'Sullivan) Twilight continued "Spike will go with me as Ace. It's the Doctor they want..." Twilight added a touch of menace to the following: "...it's the Doctor they'll get." "What about the Great and Powerful Trixie?" Twilight realized that she forgot all about Trixie, but had no assignment for her! Nor did she want to give her any, as of all the Ponies, Trixie would be the one who would most likely screw it up. "You'll, um... ...stay and um.... ....fly the TARDIS!" Twilight said, gesturing her hoof to the whole library, the center of which was altered to resemble a classic Whooves TARDIS console. "You also can use your amazing powers to protect all of the remaining Refugees!" Much to Twilight's relief, Trixie accepted the role: "The Great and Powerful, Sixth Doctor, can fly the Great and Powerful TARDIS better than any other Great and Powerful pony!" Twilight simply thought: Do you hear that sound Trixie? That's the sound of Gentle Heart pointing and laughing at you. "Get out Rainbow Dash, we need you. Now." Twilight grabbed Rainbow Dash out of the large bowl of custard with her magic. "But Twilight! I wasn't finished yet!" Before they left, Sukhbataar had something to say to Rainbow Dash: "Listen, if...if do this...I would like to have you over for dinner...in my place..." "Sure! I would love to eat you for dinner again! You taste good with custard! I'll be you'll taste good with gravy too!" "No no no, I didn't mean ME for dinner (though frankly, that doesn't bother me much), I meant, you eating a proper meal for all of us, over at my home, on one of the days when Scootaloo comes over to see me." "Oh". That was her only response, but there was some looking away and some blushing on her part, yet a simple and almost unreadable expression, but it ended with a small and sheepish smile. Soarin' seized the opportunity, and began: "Rainbow, you can eat me with custard any time!" "B'aww! Thanks Soarin'!" "Well, too bad!" Shouted Twilight, "You're going with Applejack, Soarin'! As Roseluck!" (Roseluck was the Pony name for Rose Tyler) Then Derpy turned to all of her companions and said "When I say 'muffins'....MUFFINS!!!" At this, all her companions pretended to understand, though alas, they did not. "Now let's go out...and take a first step into the greatest risk we probably all ever took." ******************* Within the spa, there was a simple hoof making a simple sound... tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap. "Oh, my dear Doctor, you have been naive..." ===== Closing theme to today's episode: Youtube Video
The Eleven Doctors: Chapter 7: The Plot ThickensThe Opening theme to today's episode: Youtube Video ======================= Overwhelmed by pressure at all ends, Twilight ultimately made a decision: "Fine, you win...But this should NOT be the first resort. Give me time to get the Dalek Cyborgs to reject the mutants inside." "NO!" Iron Will shouted. "Yes, that's my girl!" Spike proclaimed. Fluttershy, who was also there, had a different opinion: "I...DON'T...THINK SO!" She said softly but firmly. Twilight protested "What, Flutters, but you-" "Who was the one that told me it was the helpless that needed to be defended, even if they were evil Twilight, who?!!?" "I wouldn't call the Daleks helpless, Darling." Rarity retorted. "They can't help that they have evil beasts in them that enslave them to kill!" "I'll give you about an hour, maybe less." Rarity went on, ignoring Fluttershy. "I'm not letting you!" squealed Fluttershy. With a heavy sigh, Twilight added, :"Go ahead Rarity. We'll save what few Daleks we can until the time is up." "Twilight, be a dear and help me figure out the best way to install the Boron, would you Darling?" "Why, sure Rarity! How about you crush it into a nice, fine powder?" "How about, you crush this plan and help us free the cyborgs from their mutant masters?" asked Fluttershy. "Fluttershy, go save some Daleks" ordered Twilight "I'll help you when I can. But for now, I have to get a weapon to stop whatever Daleks refuse to rebell." "Ooh! that would be lovely! And then we put it in the fans!" Fancy Pants managed to used a skeleton key to undo the lock on the door: "There! That ought to do it!" "You-you SELL-OUT!!" squeaked Fluttershy. "But-" Spitfire tried to protest, but Fluttershy cut her off. "WE'RE LEAVING!" Twilight was severely troubled at this; Fluttershy was her dear friend, who always meant well. Iron Will was too; he didn't think Twilight could cave in under pressure from just a small handful of loud voices. But that was life, he supposed. "That's good, I suppose." Twilight said miserably. Iron Will saw how she felt, and knew why; he laid a sympathetic hand on her shoulder. "You know, when you feel like you've made a mistake, you should move on and accept it, life's yours to make!" Twilight, her eyes somewhat glassy, perhaps from suppressed tears, gave Iron Will a small hug. They then all walked through the open spa doors, and to their suprise, the lights were all on, and it was quiet.... ....too quiet. "Okay, let's just find all the fans and get out of here!" Shining exclaimed. "First, take the Boron shard, put each one in a separate bag, and crush them all!" Twilight said. Rarity was prepared, and gave several plastic baggies to Shining, who put a Boron shard in one and squashed each of them. They walked through the spa, finding every fan there they could find. Some of the ceiling fans were turned off individually by Spike and Iron Will, and then Twilight and Shining put the bags on them with their magic. Then there was a clapping of hooves: "Bravo, Doctors and Companions, you have done so well so far." "SOMBRA!" "No, not Sombra; the Master." Twilight then noticed that Sombra's attire resembled that of the first Master to be seen onscreen. "Sombra, what are you doing here?" "It's the Master, and really, it's all for you, Doctor; didn't you miss our old times together? Me and you? There I was, wrecking havoc throughout the Universe, but you often weren't there! I was afraid that...that-" Twilight then finished his thought: "We weren't coming?" Twilight understood; the Master always had complicated feelings for the Doctor; he was the Doctor's best friend as a child, and often needed to turn to the Doctor for his personal problems, for there was nopony else for him; because of this relationship, depending on the incarnation, the Master often felt either brotherly love or a sexual passion for the Doctor, and committed atrocities to be with the Doctor again, since the TARDIS was often drawn to danger, the Master figured that by making the danger, he could get the Doctor back. "Doctor...it's terribly good to see you again..." the Sombra-Master said, using one hoof to caress Twilight, and the other to caress Rarity. "Ah, female; I like females, females are cool; maybe now we can- we can really be together." Twilight's inner Hoovian suddenly kicked in: "Ohhh, my Master...." (Spike had an expression at pure shock at this) but it was followed shortly by her common sense "Wait! No, no, no, no, no! You kill Ponies!!" Rarity, on the other hand, pushed the Master's hoof away gently, and then, seeing him distracted by Twilight, suddenly took the opportunity to seize a sword and lunge at him. "You unhand her, fiend! And you also stop the Daleks and the Cyberponies!" The Sombra-Master simply smiled, picked up a rapier of his own, and said: "I missed our little games." Then the duel began: They pushed very hard on each other's rapiers, which Sombra had purposefully left to be found by whatever Doctor was there to find it. Sombra pushed hard enough to have Rarity collapse on a short table nearby, and then he tried vicious strikes on her, but she dodged each one, until she rolled off and then had her rapier at his throat. "You know," Rarity began, "I always felt that violent exercise always makes me rather hungry!" she said, plucking a sandwich from a nearby tray "wouldn't you agree?" The Master/Sombra was not in any mood for games, however. "Raauugh!" he yelled as he lunged at Rarity. Rarity countered this with her sabre, but Sombra then pushed so hard with his body that he knocked Rarity on a table; soon, his sword was ever nearing Rarity's throat "I rather liked the incarnation you called 'The Fourth Doctor' anyway!" he said. ================ The Imperial Dalek was ever nearer to Applejack, and then it shouted "EX-TER-" but it heard something that made it stop (or rather, received a Dalek pathweb message). It turned around and joined two other Imperial Daleks. Applejack signaled for the U.N.I.T. soldiers to follow her at a safe distance. She saw what was the source of the commotion: "Urinating on an officer's foot. Is forbidden!" "Smawtyy dun' cawe, Smawty nu wike yu!" "Crime! Insubordination! Charge! Guilty! Sentence: Execution!" Before the Judoon leader could fire at the Fluffy Ponies, he was shot by a powerful electron blast. "EX-TEERR-MIN-AAATE!!!!" a pale Dalek shouted. "Fo Ro Sho Go!" A Judoon officer shouted to his subordinates: He then did away with the Smarty Friend while the rest of them were shooting at the Daleks. There were about three Imperial Daleks and at least three times as many Judoon; The Dalek shields held up for a while under the blasts, except for the one who was at the very front; his shield was destroyed and thus he died, but the Judoon were reduced to less than half by the time that happened. Realizing he could only hope for a Pyrrihic victory at best, the Judoon commander ordered the few survivors he had to retreat. Applejack then saw the remains of the Imperial Dalek, and saw a scorched Fluffy Pony right in front of them. "Hmm..." her mind began to work like lightning. One of the Daleks that killed many Judoon, who also happened to be the same one that threatened the U.N.I.T. troops earlier, began to say "NOW, WHERE WAS I? OH, YES..." then he turned towards Applejack: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!" That wasn't all. Then more Imperial Daleks came at that moment: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!" they all shouted. Luckily, Applejack now knew what to do: "Ya better not talk that way, or I'm givin' you the Sorry Stick!" Then the Imperial Daleks all backed away for a moment. Applejack decided to continue: "Ah really mean it! Ah'm really pissed right now! Go to your rooms, or get the Sorry Stick!" "NO, NOT THE BROOM HAN-DLE!!" the Imperial Daleks all shouted. "AHHH!!!" And then they all glided far away from her. "Ah'm glad that worked, because those would have been dreadful last words!" But connecting the weak Fluffy Brain with complete Pony brains and battle-strategy computers caused a Dalek to realize something: "CAN A BROOM HAN-DLE REAL-LY HURT DAAL-EK AR-MOR?" "Well uh-" "DO YOU E-VEN HAVE A BROOM HAN-DLE?" "Ahh..." Applejack found lying rather difficult. Then all the Imperial Daleks gathered in a circle around them once again: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!! EX-TEERR-MIN-AAATE!!!!" ================ Fluttershy left in a wordless huff, not saying a word to her companions, and they not saying a word to her. Then, Spitfire suddenly had to go...and she was starting to panic! ...then, at that moment, it appeared...on its own! An outhouse, in a junkyard. "Be right back" she said. When she opened the "Outhouse" door, she couldn't help but suddenly wet the floor behind her. "Look what you did to my nice carpits!" Trixie exclaimed. Spitfire was speechless.... ....it was bigger on the inside! ================ Bon-Bon asked "So, what now Lyra?" "We have to get the Daleks to follow us, and maybe the rest of the lot if we have to." "But...how?" asked Cadence, but she feared she knew the answer. Pinkie Pie knew too, and so she hopped up on a flag pole, and shouted through a loudspeaker "Hey! You Daleks! I'm the Doctor! Come and exterminate me!" The dark Daleks all gathered 'round the flag pole, and then, one of them appeared to be scanning her, and then turned to the others and said: "CON-FIRMED TO BE A TIME LORD AND A GEN-ER-A-TION FOUR PO-NY!!" "BUT HOW IS THAT POS-SI-BLE?" "UN-CER-TAIN. IS THIS CRE-TURE WOR-THY FOR THE FI-NAL EX-PER-I-MENT??" The leader of the Dalek squad then glided a short distance from the rest; the ponies didn't know it, but it was sending a private pathweb message to its superior officers. Then it glided back... "YES!" ================ As the door was left open, Sweetie Belle walked out, overcome by the sheer curiosity of the outside world... ...Naturally, she was dissapointed that it was pretty much the same as the the one she knew, and that it was probably no other place than the Ponyville junkyard, a place where she tried to get her Cutie Mark many times, and many times, got chased away for trespassing. ...On the plus side, as she knew this place, she could be comfortable with departing, which she did. She saw who appeared to be Octavia Philharmonica Melody herself, which made her feel better about going out of the TARDIS. ================ Discord chuckled as he brought all the officers into the remains of town hall to "strategize". Oh my dear Doctor, you have been naive, he thought. They all gathered around chairs around a smashed table. "Today," Discord announced, "we begin federal work!" With that, he took a bunch of papers and through them in the air, letting them sink gently down to the ground. "Okay Discord, very funny" said a Brigadier General "but now is not the time for very accurate jokes like that one; there's pony lives at stake!" "Of, course, I know, and I have just the thing..." Discord pulled out a gas mask: "Are you my mummy?" he quipped. "What's with the gas mask?" a Captain asked. "Becaf ov da gaf" "I'm sorry?" Discord removed the mask from his mouth: "It's because of the gas." "What gas?" Then Discord said more clearly, though a gas mask he still wore, "This gas!" Seeing them all choke, Discord cackled and said "NO BREATHING!!" "But *wheeze*" the one-star General went, "Celestia made you promise-" "Celestia made me promise nothing: I am not using magic, and I am not Discord." With his last breath, a leiutanent yelled: "WHO...ARE...YOooouuuu..." he close with a wheeze. Seeing as he was the only survivor, the Discord who wasn't Discord walked up to him and said: "I am...the Master." And with that, he crushed his skull with his hoof. After they all passed, some Zygons came... "Now, it's time for you all to take their places...." The Zygons rather liked this order, and as the smiled evilly, they took the forms of the officers. And then Discord tapped the table with a finger: tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap.... ==================== Youtube Video
