        A man, the first Doctor, stands in front of a stash of TARDISes choosing one to steal. A woman appeared.

        "Pick this one, it has a broken navigation system, but it will be more fun." She told The Doctor.        So The Doctor pulled Susan out of the TARDIS she had walked into, and chose the one pointed out by the unknown woman.******************************************************************************************************************************************************        A man, the last of the Time-Lords, stands outside in a cold and rainy day. England, 1963. He is waiting for his granddaughter to return from Earth school so he can teach her the flaws in human science and understanding.******************************************************************************************************************************************************        Explosion after explosion struck. The War Doctor fought hard against the Dalek invasion. He would pilot his TARDIS into battle and, using his new sonic screwdriver, destroy the enemies. He was not happy about his fate, but there was nothing else he could do. Sometimes he would leave messages behind, sometimes he would let himself be known. He fought for women, children, Time-Lords alike, he didn't care they banished him. The past is the past. Now, he just wanted his life back. His quiet, peaceful life. He fought Dalek after Dalek, side-by-side he stood with the Time-Lords.        "Gallifrey stands!"******************************************************************************************************************************************************        The Doctor knew he couldn’t defeat the Time Demon. Not on his own. He needed some help, and he needed it now, but there was no one in all of time and space who could help him. Except maybe himself. He knew what he had to do. He also knew it was a bad idea and could cost a lot more than he was willing to pay.        Clicking his fingers he ran into the TARDIS and right up to the control console. Flipping switches, pulling levers he was going to overwrite his own time line and summon himself to this very moment using the time vortex.*VWORP VWORP VWORP* went the usual sound his TARDIS. Into the Time-Vortex he went, preparing to meet himself.        “You see Susan, this is why…” The voice of the oldest Doctor met the 14th Doctor as the first Doctor appeared inside his TARDIS.        “Now where have you put us young man? I command that you take us back at once!”

      “I can explain, just give me time to meet the rest of the Doctors.” Instead of them appearing though, it seemed he wrote his own downfall as they had prepared for this encounter and teleport-proofed their own TARDISes. Now there were 11 TARIDSes circling around his all calling through the transmitter.

        "Hmm, gotten ourselves a little overwhelmed have we?" Asked the first Doctor.        "I know what I am doing. I just need a little more time to explain. All of those Doctors out there no what is happening so I just need you to understand. When I, you, stole the TARDIS it ripped a hole in time and space and released a demon. He calls himself the Time Demon."        "You, my young man, are insane. I am The Doctor, you are clearly an imposter." The first Doctor responded. The Doctor had forgotten how he used to brush off what everyone else said and count only himself as correct. Well, besides his granddaughter.        "For starters, my TARDIS is a lot less decorative than this. I have a granddaughter who I travel with everywhere. Where is she if you are The Doctor."        "I would tell you but it would break the rules. I cannot tell you what is going to happen, only what has happened. This Time Demon is rewriting history and I need your help, as well as all future incarnations. Together we can retrap him where he will never be released."        "Never, I will never help in such a dilusional plan."        "You have to!"        Suddenly the TARDIS rocked.        "You foolish Doctors. Arguing will never destroy me, and never save time." A deep voice boomed through the TARDIS, almost as if it were right there with them.        The TARDIS rocked again and left the Time-Vortex. Back in real space The Doctor looked thorugh the moniter and then checked the coordinates.        "No, no no no no no! This is not possible!" The voice of the 9th Doctor came over the communicater.        "I'm sorry, so sorry." The 10th Doctor said.        "What is it then 'Doctor', what have you caused?" The First Doctor asked mockingly.        "If you would please listen to me this one time..."        "Someone needs to learn some manners, Doctor. Allow me to explain and hope it goes through your thick skull.        I have taken over the Time-Vortex. It would be unwise to travel through it. Maybe even, lethal." He hung onto the word 'lethal' a bit longer than The Doctor liked.        "Now that I finally have your full attention, I would like to say, 'Doctor', thank you for making my life easier by calling every single one of you here where I can erase you from time and space."        "No! We will stop you," the 10th Doctor retorted.        "If there is one thing you never do, it is put 14 Doctors in a trap." The 11th Doctor stated.        "Well then, I guess you do need my help, but what can I do? Without the technology to make a weapon, what use am I?" The First Doctor finally gave in and decided that everything this Doctor said must be true. He just needed some way to assist.        "I need you to remember this conversation and everything that has happened." The Doctor Responded.        "That is all?"        "Plenty for you. Now then," he started to all of the other Doctors, "I need all of you to fly your TARDISes around this centre and through the hole in time I am going to make with my own TARDIS."        "What is with this anyway? You all seem so concerned about something but what?"        "Look at the console."        "I can't possibly read that. It is more complicated than what I am used to."        "Just look at the dials, they haven't changed too terribly much."        The First Doctor walked over and looked at the dials that were indicating many things.        "Oh! This, this is impossible. There should be a planet here, but, there is nothing! Literally every star, every planet is gone!"        "Exactly. Can you tell which planet?"        "Gallifrey!"        "If my calculations are correct, and I made these calculations with the Third Doctor, then if we open a Time-Vortex hole right where the crack happened, it will allow us to travel straight to when the Time Demon is."        After double checking the calculations, he started pulling things, pressing buttons, twisting knobs, and most of all running around piloting the TARDIS on his own."        "Maybe I could help, I do know how to pilot a TARDIS."        "No, you don't. If you did this never would have happened. Also, this TARDIS is more complex than any TARDIS previously used by me."        "I think I am starting to understand the way it works now."        "Well then, be my guest."        "Susan, come over here. Press this button and hold it for 10 seconds, then release and twist this knob clockwise 2 times." The First Doctor stood in a single spot and expertly piloted the TARDIS into perfect position without a single shake.        "Alright Susan, now, press the three green buttons and then the blue one."        The Doctor was perplexed at how well his past self was piloting, even better than himself. He continues pressing buttons and doing stuff until a portal appeared in the centre of where gallifrey was meant to be.        "Alright Doctors, now pilot into the Time-Voretex."        "Alons-y!"        "Geronimo!"        "Gallifrey stands!"        He didn't realise this trap was set for him.        "Now Doctor, let's see what happens if I rewrite you," the Time Demon said to himself.        Upon entering the Time Vortex the First Doctor disappeared back to his time and all of the other TARDISes disappeared. The Doctor assumed this was what needed to happen but didn't expect that the Time Demon had erased them and set the Time-Vortex to attack the last of the Time-Lords. A Time-Vortex bolt hit the TARIDIS and set it rocking out of control.        "NO! I have come too far to fail here. I know what must happen. I can do this!"        The Doctor piloted through and worked desperately to get to the time he was looking for.        "Now Doctor, do you know what happens when a TARDIS flies through the Time-Vortex wall?" The Time Demon asked. His plan was almost complete. If he could throw The Doctor out of the Time-Vortex wall it would erase him from this reality, and send him to the Time Demon's reality.        "It is impossible to fly through the wall of the Time-Vortex." The Doctor retorted.The Doctor's TARDIS was struck once more by a Time-Vortex bolt. His TARDIS rocked back in forth as he struggled to maintain control. Strike after strike his the TARDIS until he fell from the TARDIS control console.        The strike was caused by something The Doctor was trying to investigate, something evil, something that wanted to stay hidden. It threatened the very existence of time itself. All of humanity would be wiped out, and it was up to the last Time-Lord to stop it. In his 14th form he was getting old, but looking younger. He had defeated countless Daleks, saved the Earth too many times, and had been banished by the Time-Lord council.  1000+ years old, he was still able to fight back monsters and saved time and space, but this time, it seemed he was not ready for his enemy.        He wasn't entirely certain what it was he was facing, but it was fast, strong,, and always one step ahead. It could somehow manipulate time itself. It had outsmarted The Doctor countless times and it was time he defeated it. Something he had been chasing all 14 regenerations. To defeat it he tried uniting all 14 generations, but it failed. Now he was running, like he always does.        He was now prepared to sacrifice himself to save the universe. But first he had to travel back in time and stop himself from releasing the creature. It wasn't entirely his fault, well, that is what he kept telling himself. It could have been any other Time-Lord. It just so happened his stealing the TARDIS initiated this whole thing. If he hadn't listened to that mystery girl and had, instead, stolen a newer model, this never would have happened.        Using his stolen TARDIS ripped a hole in Time and Space, mostly due to his lack of knowledge on flying TARDISes, that hit the prison of a great time demon, who went out and started rewriting time.        This, plus the hole in time and space, followed him his entire life but never came up until the eleventh hour, in his eleventh form, in which a prisoner escaped and caused all hell on Earth. The crack then followed him everywhere. Now the beast has struck and The Doctor cannot beat it, only run. Not realising, this was his doom.        He tried to regain his balance but that was no easy task as the Time-Vortex was fighting back and winning. He tumbled back and forth, side to side, fighting to grasp something, anything.His TARDIS out of control, it spun through a wall jarring the entire thing and finally crashing down on solid ground. The force of the impact was great due to the TARDIS crashing through the walls of the Time-Vortex. The effect was unpredictable, such a thing as breaking through time itself was unheard of, impossible. The effect was a whole new universe, a whole new Doctor.        The Doctor awoke.        "I... am... ALIVE!" He burst out, laughing.         Feeling odd, he thought to himself, What the bloody hell happened? He stood up and assessed the damage. Now how am I going to fix this? This is a disaster! Opening the doors to his TARDIS, he stepped outside.Where am I? What is this place? He pondered. Looking around, he noticed the busy streets and many shops. A small village it seemed. A small building at the edge of a lowly street struck him more than any other. He walked over to the boutique of Rarity.        **DING** rang the bell attached to the door.        "Give me just a minute and I will be right there," came a voice The Doctor knew not. Must be the owner he thought to himself.        A white unicorn with three gems on her flank and beautiful purple hair walked forwards. "How may I help you today sir?" She asked.        "It seems my... transport has... er... Crashed, into your fair town. I need someplace to stay and maybe someone to show me around." He responded.        "I have a good friend Twilight Sparkle who can assist you. She lives in the library over there," The white pony replied pointing at an odd shaped tree with windows and a door carved into it.        "Thank you miss..."        "Rarity."        "Rarity. Thank you."        "Anything for a curious pony."        That statement struck The Doctor odd but he couldn't figure it out. Forgetting about it, he walked to the library to meet this, Twilight Sparkle.        He approached the door and knocked. "Who is it?" Came the voice of the caretaker, Twilight Sparkle.        "Just a wanderer passing through, in need of assistance."        "Oh okay then, come on in." She opened the door and allowed The Doctor in.        He entered the library and looked around in awe of the collection of the library. Not quite as expansive as his own, but still quite impressive.        "I know most of the ponies in this town, but you are new, as you said.  May I ask, who are you?"        "I am The Doctor." Came his usual response.        "Doctor who?"
