Knights of Time and Space

We've all felt it, that dark, scary felling that makes our mind tell us to run, run like you've never run before.

What if that feeling manifested itself, taking on a life of it's own? Growing. Listening.

Now, your parents have told you that "It's nothing. Just ignore it," but what if the feeling didn't want to be ignored? What if it got angry?

This feeling feasts upon your fear, your ignorance, your foolishness. It festers until you grow too afraid to fight it.

My advice to you? Don't ignore it but don't embrace it. Push it aside holding it in your mind, because without food, it would destroy you.

The Doctor, now known as Vinyl Scratch, stepped aside as three fillies raced past. Her mind was focused elsewhere. For one, she had received a message on the psychic paper and cryptic one at that.

Doctor,

If you're there, we need you. Something's coming. It's feasting on us. We are so afraid. It seems to get stronger the more we fear it. Please, help.

Normally the Doctor would jump in the TARDIS and let it carry her to where she was needed. Not this time. This time, the TARDIS didn't know. In fact, after her regeneration the TARDIS had gone to sleep for some time. It was the Doctor's hope that the message wasn't as bad as it sounded. Racing into the doors she smiled wide.

"Did you miss me, sexy?" she asked.

The hum of the engines answered her. It was during this that a white earth pony with a light pink mane rolled into the TARDIS.

"Its, Its," she stammered.

Noticing her knew guest The Doctor turned to the new pony.

"Go ahead, people say its bigger on the inside or smaller on the outside," she smirked.

"Its a spaceship," she gasped.

A little stunned at the unusual reaction, The Doctor looked at the new pony. "That's.... new," she said.

"Who are you, Vinyl?" Redheart gasped.

"I'm called The Doctor, The Oncoming Storm, Time Turner, and once The Thing-With-A-Face. No particular order."

The TARDIS hummed and whirred, dematerializing.

TARDIS, for now we'll use sexy, looked into the Time Vortex. She knew all the events in the past, future, and present. This of course meant she couldn't see what would happen to the Doctor. His unique actions blur certain events so Sexy, while she couldn't see what all would happen, knew where to never take the Doctor. Rule 1, the Doctor and the TARDIS lie. Of course this makes one consider the truth of Rule 21: The Doctor is always right, but that's not important.

In a field on a small planet, recently Terraformed and renamed Equis-Alcon. The resident species, ponies and Alconians, a quadrepedal race who looked like large cats, but with scales on their faces, had become friends on their very first meeting main reason being that during a meeting, Luna called the Orcins, a race similar to turtles with disturbingly furry outer shells, "Poofy, McPoof-poff with a side of poof." The Orcins got extremely mad while most races in the room nearly died from laughter, its happened before.

Said planet was in a solar system floating far above their resident galaxy and had been found to be a good source of Onisonium, a very resilient metal used for spaceships, and due to such the ponies and Alconians had immediately made for the planet. In a matter of days, information inflow stopped. Nothing in, nothing out.

The TARDIS had this to say,

Equis-Alcon

Mid-38th Century

Colonized- All contact Ceased

Tidally locked. One side always dark. Other side was shadowed by sister planet EA-123a.

Never rediscovered

The Doctor looked at the information with slight confusion. That system should be impossible. Or very very rare. Yet, there had to be hundreds of systems like this from the information.

The Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS and looked back in.

"Well come on then!" Redheart, still shocked, followed quickly. When she stepped outside a beautiful sight greeted her.

The sky held a unseen red, strong yet light. The light of a blue sun, coupled with a red one, made the sky around the suns a light purple. The moon was a golden yellow.

Redheart's enchantment was rivaled only by the Doctor's excitement. She grabbed Redheart and tugged her along to the nearby building. They walked in and lights flickered. The halls were empty and a screen crackled every so often. The screen suddenly came to life.

"I don't if anyone can hear me," It glitched, before suddenly clearing, "but we found something. Something we should have never messed with. I can only hope that this warning will get out. Beware the fear.  Its dangerous and fearing it makes it stronger but ignoring it makes it angry. Please. Go!"

The Doctor was intrigued. She knew nothing of this. Neither did the TARDIS, but as she herself once said, "There are fixed points throughout time where things must stay exactly the way they are." And as was apparent, this was not one of them.

"Bright! This is bright! A whole new point of time I never knew existed!" The Doctor started running off.

"Where are you going?" asked Redheart.

"Me? Why I'm going to adventure, mind you, it will be very dangerous, you could head back to the TARDIS if you'd like," The Doctor responded.

Redheart galloped forward and went past the Doctor.

"Now where are you going?" the Doctor asked.

"Adventure, like you said!" Redheart called back.

The Doctor grinned. She had forgotten how fun companions could be.

"Well don't wait up! We've got an adventure to find!" Redheart called out.

The Doctor quickly galloped forward.
