A Journey Across

Book 1 - A Journey Across

Chapter 8 - Victory

The smile of Entropy was like a rift, ripping apart it's face. The blood drips had now gathered to a small pool before his hoofs. After a short pause he stepped in the throne room, "It is a shame I couldn't get her friend. But there is still time. No pressure." A cold laugh came over it's lips.

"What are you?", asked Twilight, she had gathered her courage.

The smile grew even bigger, "I told you. I am the god of evil. Well this is the best description I can give you. It's like the famous question, who was first, god or the universe." He slowly walked in the middle of the room, Discord backing off to the wall.

"Discord, my old friend. Why are you afraid? I made you at last," the thing smirked.

The pupils in Discord's eyes widened as he recognized. As he remembered. Fear replaced any emotion he had, "It can't be. ... No."

"It is time for you to die. You will only mess up my plans," the creature stepped closer and closer to him. Discord found no more room to back up.

Suddenly the hoof of Entropy transformed into a hand. The fingers were elongated with 4 joints. Almost like the hand of a skeleton of inhuman form. He reached out to Discord. When he touched him, Discord began screaming as every part of his body faded out. Not short after, nothing but a few feathers and scales remained. The hand became blurry and flowed back being a hoof.

"Oh god," whispered the Doctor. His face went pale as he jumped up and almost stumbled back. He had never seen anything like it before.

"Aaaahh, we have a volunteer. I believe we have met before? Do you remember? The impossible planet? You killed one of my incarnations. One of the weaker ones," claimed Entropy. He turned to the doctor, "What can I do to break you today? Let's seeeee." - He thought for a second - "Ah. I know. Let's bring a dalek here. Should be fun." His hoof blurred to a hand again and he snapped with three fingers.

A dalek appeared in the room. It's conical form was painted in red and the head was rounded off. Three sticks pointed out of it. Two from the body and one from the head. He turned his head round, to see what was going on. As he saw the doctor he stopped. "Doctorrr! Explain!" it yelled with it's robotic voice.

The doctor was stunned. All blood that had been left in his face vanished.

Entropy started laughing, attracting the attention of the dalek. He pointed his head at it, "Why are you laughing? Explain!"

"You are just so funny. 'Explain!'" he imitated the voice of the dalek and laughed even louder.

The dalek turned his body around, pointing his gun at Entropy, "You will not make fun of the dalek. Exterminate!" He fired his gun. The blast hit Entropy right where his heart should be, with no effect. The dalek was panicking, "What is this?"

Entropy asked the doctor, "do you like this show?" - and moved to the dalek - "This portable bin thinks it is important!"

The dalek was not amused. He fired beam after beam at Entropy, who did not react in anyway to it, except moving closer. Moments before Entropy came close to touch him, the daleks head turned to the doctor, "Help me! Doctor!"

The doctor, who never knew a Dalek knew the word help and didn't ever believ to hear it from a Dalek directed to him, watched as Entropy touched the Dalek, similiar to how he proceeded with Discord. Instead of vanishing the Dalek just screamed. Entropy did not stop, he liked how the Dalek was suffering. After two minutes he turned his hand slightly and all lights in and on the dalek went out. He was dead.

"You liked this show, Doctor? I know you don't like them. You MUST have enjoyed it," said Entropy.

He waited for an answer from the Doctor. As he heard none, he turned to Twilight, "Now it seems my friend here doesn't like my presentation. What about you? Do you like it?" - he stood there short, waiting for any kind of reaction - "You know, you all seem to be quit passive. I mean I just brought you here a creature that was most evil thing where it came from and it atleast tried to kill me. You all stand here listening to me. I must say you are quite boring. Let's make it fun and give our doctor a gun."

In the hands of the doctor appeared a .36 caliber revolver. It's barrel was longer than usual and strange symbols carved in the frame, including a 5-edged encircled star. From the outside you could see that it was loaded. Entropy looked at the doctor, as he inspected the gun, "Go ahead. This colt kills almost everything."

Without hesitation, the doctor raised the gun directly at Entropy's head. He pulled the hammer back five times, until the drum was empty.

Five small holes appeared on Entropy's forehead, each on hissing as if an agressive acid desolved metal. Entropy did not move, but it was clear that the bullets didn't have any effect, "You see, where this gun comes from, it is very powerful. Can kill almost everything. Only the most powerful creatures can resist it. You took your chances." The revolver disappeared again.

"Now, it seems to be quite a one-sided conversation. I'm afraid that I must go now. I have more chaos to produce. Maybe we'll have more fun next time," he said as he started to vanish. Only Applejack's hat remained and fell to the ground. Everyone in the room stared at it and at the blood stains. When Rose looked to the Doctor, she noticed a strange expression. The former calm doctor was gone. Pure rage stormed through him, his anger almost radiating through the room.

After six minutes of staring and silence, the doctor suddenly moved. An idea had sprung in his head, "Jeb, tell me. What happened before you crashed here? What was your mission?"
