Equestria: The Master's Dumping Ground

Stormy lead them into the forest, it was a calm forest and there was a gentle breeze going through it. "So Stormy what's your story, you knew me and you work for the Silence?" The Doctor asked.

"Where do I begin?" He asked himself. "I guess the beginning would do. I am much older than I appear to be, truth be told I stopped counting after seven hundred."

"You wear your years well." The Doctor replied.

"That's what you said the last time we met, however I went by a different name back then."

"So we've met before?"

"Yes, we had to deal with a dangerous enemy, I am not surprised that you do not remember, my face changes often."

"I know the feeling" The Doctor replied laughing slightly.

"Wait! no pony can live that long, life extension magic is forbidden!" Sparkler pointed out.

"Yes it is forbidden now, but I was here before all of that."

"Please go on." Derpy interjected.

"Well I spent most of my life near power, I was actually at one point the king of the Crystal Empire..."

"How Did you do that?" Dinky interrupted.

"I married into the family, after about twenty years I faked my death and moved to Cloudsdale and got a job at the rainbow factory. About eighty years later I moved back to what I consider one of the most beautiful cities in all of Equestria. After twenty years of moving up the social ladder I met a promising young unicorn wizard named Sombra. Then I met the Silence, they told me of the threat and I helped them to weaponize the Empire. After two years of love weaponizing and failing, I was given the eyedrive and I was told to corrupt who I thought would most likely cause despair throughout the Empire. I chose to force Sombra into going insane with dark magic. I still regret what I did to that young stallion and the crystal ponies, even though all I did was give Sombra a book."

He paused, then he found himself slamming into a tree, "You're responsible for thousands of ponies suffering!" Sparkler shouted as she and Dinky lifted up several rocks.

Stormy only laughed at them, "that's right you don't remember because my masters were with us." His eye turned yellow, then he shouted in pain as his eyedrive started to spark with electricity, "Fine!! I Won't!!" he shouted as his eye turned back to normal.

"What happened to your eye? Just now, I mean" The Doctor asked.

"My eyedrive went off." Stormy huffed.

"You know what he meant!" Derpy said focusing on him.

"Curse." Storm said simply, he got up and began off down the path. He didn't make it twenty feet before he stopped in his tracks, his ears were twitching. The Doctor was listening hard and he could hear it as well, it was the clanking sound that Cybermen made when walking.

"Stormy get back here now!" he shouted and Stormy fluttered backwards towards the group.

"TECHNOLOGY IDENTIFIED. SILENCE EYEDRIVE DETECTED. ORDERS, CAPTURE!" one of the Cybermen shouted.

"WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE REST!?" Another asked.

The first one replied, "TAKE THEM FOR UPGRADING." immediately all of the Cybermen moved in and grabbed all of them. Derpy tried to lift off only to have her left hind leg grabbed and electrocuted. The Cybermen tazed Sparkler and Dinky to stop them from using magic. The Doctor and Stormy both sat down and didn't resist.

"BINARY VESICULAR SYSTEM DETECTED!" one of the Cybermen shouted stepping back.

"IMPOSSIBLE. THERE ARE NO LIFEFORMS ON THIS PLANET THAT HAVE A BINARY VESICULAR SYSTEMS." the leader said.

"That's because I'm not from this planet." The Doctor said.

"YOU WILL IDENTIFY YOUR SPECIES." the leader ordered the Doctor.

"Time Lord"

"IDENTIFY YOURSELF!"

"I'm The Doctor" at that several cybermen stepped back.

"Your reputation precedes you." Stormy said.

A Cyberman came up from behind and grabbed the back of both of them and tazed them. Causing them to fall on top of each other.

The Doctor was groggy and waking up to Stormy shouting something about not converting did not help that. Suddenly everything hit him like a ton of bricks, he tried to move only to find himself in a contraption of some sorts. "Stormy! What's going on?"

"These stupid cybers think that converting me will allow them to access my brain eraser, but I would lose all memory of my masters and I would be useless to them."

"Of all the thing to have a problem with in this situation, that's what you're worrying about?"

"I don't want to be a cyberman"

"So what are you lot planning?" The Doctor asked leader of the Cybermen.

"WE WILL CREATE A NEW CYBER LEGION AND MAKE EVERYTHING LIKE US."

"How have you been surviving the depression field made by Sombra?"

"THE OOD"

"STOP!" The leader ordered, "THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO KNOW."

"So you lot got yourself an Ood, and are forcing it to protect yourselves from the depression field?"

"DO NOT RESPOND" the leader ordered the rest.

"Doctor would you please look at this." Stormy said holding a picture at the end of his hoof. The next thing the doctor knew he and Stormy were free and all of the nearby Cybermen had holes in their heads. Stormy was putting a picture away.

"What happened? What did you do to them?"

"I broke the chain of command" Stormy said walking over to a console and started hitting buttons.

"Now what are you up to?" The Doctor asked walking up to him.

"My masters wanted me to enter this code into their computer matrix." Stormy explained. "There we go, looks like your friends aren't converted yet, and there is something in this near them that is taking up a lot of power.

"That's probably the Ood, we have to rescue them." The Doctor said as he began to trot off in the general direction of the conversion chambers. The chambers were easy to find and to break into, there were only two Cybermen guards and Stormy had shown the Doctor the picture again.

"Doctor!" Derpy yelled and tackled him with a hug as she was let out of her cage. Stormy got a hunk of metal chucked at him when he opened Sparkler's and Dinky's cage. They ran out of their cage and formed a group hug with the Doctor in the middle.

"Well," Stormy said looking at the Doctor, "are you going to save the Ood or not?"

"Right!" The Doctor ran over to a console and hit some buttons. The wall opened up to revive an Ood in pony form sitting on a perch with a cyberman helmet covering part of his head. On it's lapel was a sigma

The Doctor ran over to it and removed it's helmet, almost instantly there was a combination of robotic screams and exploding noises echoing down the halls. Derpy pulled Sparkler and Dinky close as she stared in horror at the Ood and she shuttering from the screams.

The Ood lifted his translation orb and spoke "Doctor it has been a while"

That was when the Doctor noticed the sigma on the Ood's lapel, "Sigma how in the universes are you here and still functioning"

"I was sent by the Master and I am still connected the Ood Brain."

"First you figure out the time vortex and now inter-dimensional communication?"

"Correct" Sigma said.

"So can you return to our dimension?"

"Perhaps but I would not be able to take you with me."

"Of course you can't." The Doctor said with a hint of bitterness in his voice. He cheated up, "well if I can't go can you deliver a message to River for me?"

"Yes, what is your message?"

"Tell her 'Sorry honey but I won't make it to our next date, kinda stuck in another dimension, oh and before you think using a vortex manipulator to… Err… Vortex manipulate your way here, you wouldn't survive the process without a TARDIS'"

"I will tell her."

"Who's River?" Sparkler asked.

"Oh she's just my wi...er...Friend, just a friend."

"What kind of friend?" Derpy asked.

"Just the kind that has been brain washed to try to kill you."

"Aaaaagggggeeeerrrr!" Sigma shouted and fell to the floor, he knocked his translation orb and began to scream "get out I do not serve you!!!"

Sigma was humanoid again and in a sphere of blackness, he was floating in the direct center of it. He was able to spin around and he was trying to see if he could find a way out when he heard a voice bellow "you dare intrude on our hive", immediately the sphere lit up with thousands of glowing blue eyes, and directly in front of Sigma was a black insect like horse.

Sigma reached for his translation orb and found his brain, he lifted it up and sang. "I am Sigma"

"I don't care who you are you are intruding on our hive and we don't want you here!" The voice shouted at him, he realized it was coming from the insect horse.

"I mean no insult, I am not in control of my connection with you."

"I will destroy you intruder" the voice bellowed at him. The combined minds around Sigma all focused on destroying his mind.

Sigma was singing as loud as he could, then he felt something he never thought he would feel again. He was calling on the Ood brain for help and then suddenly he felt the combined power of every Ood serving through him, he directed it at the swarm.

"So your swarm is attacking!" the voice yelled at him.

"We are simply replying to your song."

"Attack the enemy hive!!!" The voice yelled angrily.

Sigma's eyes widened and he calmly gave a single order, "sing them to their sleep." As the song came through Sigma the eyes of the Changeling started to close.

The Doctor was running with Derpy and the kids in hoof and Sigma on his back. Stormy had left once the Cybermen had been defeated. They were using him as sort of campus, when they were facing the right way Sigma would yell louder. They were tracking down where the mental interference was coming from.

They nearly ran into a chasm and Sigma was looking down the into it. They looked down and saw a path leading down into it.

They ran down the path and ended up smack into the middle of the Changeling hive. But rather than them all attacking at once they were asleep, it was almost as though they just fell asleep where they were.

Sigma had his eyes closed and was listening to his the beautiful music. He could feel the Changelings life force drain away, he could feel his brothers back home. Then he realized what he was doing, his eyes flew open and he stopped the song.

"You stopped?" the voice said weakly.

"I do not wish to kill you" Sigma answered, "now wake"

The Doctor had was checking the Changelings. Suddenly the Changelings started to wake up, they started screaming as Sigma woke up on the Doctors back.

The voice that Sigma had been battling shouted with vile hatred, "kill them all!!!"

“And now we run!!!" The Doctor shouted as they headed for the exit. On the way out The Doctor used the sonic to destroy one of the pillars by the exit.

One of the Changelings was close enough to grab them and she did. As soon as they got out the exit collapsed behind them. Sparkler grabbed the Changeling with her magic and forced her to the wall.

"Who are you?" The Changeling yelled at them all.

The Doctor answered "I'm The Doctor, this is Ood Sigma and these are my companions. Now who are you?"

"Chrysalis." Sigma said calmly.

"Doctor I mark you the enemy of all Changelings. Charged with the crimes of destroying the hive and the hive mind!" She yelled as she burst into flames and teleported away.

"Very dramatic." Sigma said.

"You destroyed there hive mind?" The Doctor asked Sigma.

"The Ood insisted on it as punishment for attacking the Ood brain mentally."
