Doctor Whooves: The Sentaurans

"Do you have evidence of this invasion?" asked one of the councilstallions as he looked down on the Doctor.

"Yes," he replied confidently.

"Would you show it to us?"

"Absolutely," he replied as he walked up to the horseshoe shaped table and started laying out the documents of the Sentaurans.

"It might be a little hard to understand," said the Doctor, "but if you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

"You can read this?" asked a councilmare.

He nodded.  "The language is called Sentauran, and it's fortunate that I have a knack for languages among other things."

"And what is Uncle Strudel and these fillies doing here with you?"

"Oh, Uncle Strudel has been our guide since we came to Germaneigh, and these fillies here..."

"We're all his students!" offered Apple Bloom.

"Yeah," said Scootaloo, "The Doctor is like the coolest teacher ever!"

"Enthusiastic, aren't they?" commented the Councilmare.

"He takes us on trips so we can learn the experiences of the world, ma'am," said Sweetie Belle.

"I see."

Another councilstallion asked, "So you can explain all of these symbols on these maps to us?"  He was pointing to one of the symbols on one of the maps.

"Yes," he replied, "That is an Infantry Way-point.  The infantry gather there, and judging by the arrows, shall move towards the south end of Marelin to join up with the infantry from this way-point over here."  He pointed at another way-point symbol with his hoof.

"I have never heard of these Sentaurans," said the Councilmare, "Where do they come from."

"It might sound incredible when you first hear this, but they come from space.  A place beyond the moon."

"You're right, it does sound incredible.  How many troops are going to attack?"

"It's not so much the numbers that matter, but their weapons.  They posses weapons like those never seen before."

"What can we do?" asked the first Councilstallion, "In a time of peace, all we have are Police.  The Army is in no condition to be fighting right now."

"There won't be enough time to get them in fighting shape, so we'll have to make do with what we have.  If we can attack the enemy before they're completely ready to attack you, there's still a good chance you can win."

"Are you an army officer?"

"Oh, I've worn many hats in my lifetime."

"You don't look that old to me," said the Coucilmare.

"Oh, just healthy living," he replied with a smile.

...

"Are you sure this is legit?" asked Dash ash she followed Pinkie Pie well beyond the borders of Ponyville.

"Well the mare that told me this sure seemed legit," she replied as she bounced along.

"But half the things she said to you sounded really crazy."

"It made perfect sense to me!"

"Of course it does," muttered Dash.

They continued on for a while until they heard noises ahead.  Moving forward, it became clear that there was some sort of scuffle going on.  Moving faster, they came upon a pink Pegasus mare with blue mane and tail battling stallions who all looked the same.  She was outnumbered at least seven to one.

"Hey!" shouted Dash, "She's way outnumbered!  We gotta help her!"  She flew forward to plow hooves first into the closest attacking stallion.

"It's party cannon time!" cried Pinkie as she pulled her trademark cannon from her full curly mane.

But the strange Pegasus didn't seem to be a stranger to battle herself.  Hovering on wing power, she lashed out with her hooves, clopping one stallion in the head after another.  Pinkie fired her cannon, striking her target in the head... with a wrapped gift box?  It must have been something heavy judging by the way he toppled over.

"Gotta love that old Germaneigh fruit cake," gloated Pinkie.

But Dash and the mystery mare were too busy battling to comment.  It seemed like only a moment before all of the stallions who looked alike were down, and yet none seriously injured.

"Darn," said Dash, "Now who's going to show us how to get into the funny looking rock?!"

"Oh, I can do that," replied the mystery mare.

"Who might you be?"

"I'm called Firefly!" she said as she turned and showed her double blue lightning bolt cutie mark.

"Think you're fast, do ya?"

"I don't think I'm fast," she replied, "I know I'm fast!"

"Care to race and prove that?"

"I thought you had things to do."

"We do," said Pinkie.

"Well racing can wait, can't it?"

"We have friends to rescue!"

"That does sound important."

"Pinkie," retorted Dash, "That's not the sort of thing you just blab to total strangers!"

"Well a total stranger told it to me," replied Pinkie.

"And that makes it suspicious, I tell you."

Firefly began to walk away as she said over her shoulder, "Well, I'm going to fight more of these lookalikes.  I'm going to fight whoever is in that magic rock and beat them no matter who they are.  Are you two with me or not?"

"Okay, count us in!" called Dash as she and Pinkie followed along behind.

...

The Master gloated as he looked over the helpless Romanadvoratrelundar.  He looked her over as she as strapped down to the table next to Rarity.  "Let's see if my suspicions are right," he said.  He took a strange vibrating scalpel and began to cut away her cloak over her flank.  She protested into the gag in vain.  He cut until the cloth fell away.  "As I thought," he said as he glared down on her flank, "The Rod and Sash of Rassilon.  So you are the previous incarnation of the Mare President of the Time Lords."

The look Romana gave him might have wilted plants if there was really an magic behind it.

"Don't fret, my dear," he said as he leaned closer to her ear, "I'm not going to harm you.  You're too valuable of a resource to damage for no reason.  But I bet you know some things about Gallifrey that would be highly helpful to me.  Now promise if I take off your muzzle, you won't call for help.  You should know better than anyone how pointless that would be?"

She nodded, so he unmuzzled her.

"Do you know the Secret Passage to the President's Chambers?"

"No," she replied, "The Doctor does."

"Perhaps this foal is a little smarter than I gave him credit for."

"I'm sure he's unraveling your plot even as we speak."

"So where is this Doctor?"

"I don't know," she replied evenly, "He left me behind with Rarity while he was taking his students on a trip in the TARDIS."

"He left you behind, alone and unguarded?"

"There was no reason to believe we would be threatened."

"Then he's not as smart as he thinks he is," he replied, "but even the Doctor couldn't be so foolish as to not say where he was going.  Tell me where he went."

"I swear he didn't say," she replied, "There was others around who don't know he's a Time Lord."

"Perhaps a few cuttings from your unicorn friend over here will convince you to stop lying to me."

Rarity looked terrified as he stalked over.

"Please don't hurt her!" called Romana, "She doesn't really know anything about the Doctor!"

"Then you better tell me what I want to know," said the Master as he looked back.  His forehead glowed as a long and sharp horn appeared.  It looked to be as long as Romana's horn, the Doctor's horn, or even Celestia's horn.

"I swear I don't know where the Doctor is!"

"Perhaps I'll start by cutting off her cutie marks," he mused, "I've always wondered what happens when..."

"You should really think about what you're going to do," said a nearby mare.

The Master spun to see a unicorn standing in the doorway.  She was a white mare with a green mane and tail, and just a streak of red running down her mane on one side.  Her cutie mark was five violet maple leaves.

"Who are you?!" barked the Master, "How the heck did you get in my TARDIS?!"

"Oh, you don't have to worry about just me," she said, "I left the front door open and reinforcements should be coming along any time now.  So don't even think about threatening either of those mares, because I promise you that will be the last mistake you ever make."

"How dare you address a Time Lord like that, you inferior creature!" he snarled at her.

"There are those who are above a Time Lord," she replied.

"Liar!  There's nothing more advanced than Time Lords!"

"Not in the matters of magic," she replied as she flash teleported next to him.

"Foal!  Science always triumphs over magic in the long run!" His horn began to glow.

"You are the foal!" she called back, "Do you really think you can get a magic disruptor over the horn of a unicorn that's awake and moving?"

"Wait, how could you know I was..."  The Master almost looked pale as he turned and bolted from the room.  They could hear the door close behind them.

"Oh no," said Romanadvoratrelundar, "He's closed the door.  This room could be moved anywhere in his TARDIS now, or he could even just cast it into the void to get rid of it."

"Oh, he won't do that," said the unicorn mare, "We're still too valuable, and he thinks we're trapped.  He's got other matters to worry about.  But he's already too late to stop my friends from coming in the front door."

"Your friends?"

"Oh, a couple of them are your friends too.  Firefly, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.  But let me get you both out of those nasty restraints he used on you."  Her horn glowed as the magic disruptors came off their horns.  Then the restraints began to loosen.

"Aren't you going to unmuzzle Miss Rarity?"

"And spoil the moment?"

Rarity just glared back.

"May we know the name of our rescuer?"

"Just call me Gusty," she replied.

By now, they had been freed enough that Rarity began removing her own muzzle.

"Don't bother," said Gusty as she looked at Rarity, "There's no fainting couch within miles of here, I assure you."

Rarity scowled.
