Doctor Whooves: Pirate101 adventures

  The Doctor was out getting a few supplies for Eric so he could continue training the mane 6, Shining Armor, Flash, and Trixie. While he was out, he heard a vaguely familiar ticking sound, one he had heard before. When he turned around, 6 clockwork soldiers were pointing their guns at him. "OK, this is awkward. Hello." He said to them. The elite one, Caerulus by name, walked forward. "OK, either it's me, or you want something." The Doctor guessed.  The troops didn't reply, but judging by the way their guns were pointed at him, they wanted him prisoner, or dead. Caerulus began to speak.

"You are the Doctor." He said. "Confirm identity." He ordered.

  "Confirmed, I am the Doctor." The Doctor said to him. The ticking still kept going. "Ticking, that ticking, why do I feel like I've heard it before?" The Doctor asked the troops. Then, a spark went off in his mind. "Oh, oh oh oh oh! The ticking, of course! You're clockworks! I've encountered your kind before, Versailles, 1727!" The Doctor laughed, clapping his hands together. "Oh that is brilliant! Built to follow orders by a higher power, eh?" The Doctor asked.  None of the clockworks replied to his question. They were programmed to answer someone else, not the Doctor. "OK, not programmed to respond to me. Who are you programmed to respond to?" He wondered. Then he realized. "Oh, you're programmed to respond to Eric! Oh, that is wonderful, fantastic, even!" The Doctor continued, rambling like he always did.

"Yes." A musketeer replied. "We are programmed to respond to Mr. Collins." The soldier continued. He looked at Caerulus, then looked back at the Doctor. "Where is he? Where is the pirate?" The trooper asked. The Doctor seemed shocked by the question, then he realized it was Eric the clockworks were after.

  "So why do you want Eric, eh? At least answer that, why is Eric so important to your plans?" The Doctor asked.

  "You know why he is important, Doctor?" Asked a voice the Doctor knew all too well. "Missed me, 'old friend?'" The voice continued.

  "No, it can't be." The Doctor exclaimed.  "Master." He said as the Master approached him casually. The Master chuckled quietly. "What's so funny?" The Doctor demanded. "You've got a mad scientist that knows him." He realized. "Goes by the name of, ooh, Dr. Clockwork, mad scientist of the spiral? Created the Armada?" The Doctor smirked. The Master let out a low growl, he knew the Doctor was on the right track.

  "Alright so you're on to us, Doctor, but Kane has what I need to wipe everything out of existence!" The Master told him.

  "The Hand of Omega, out of all the places it ended up it had to be here, why?" The Doctor asked the Master. "Does Kane know what you're planning? Does he know you're planning to overthrow him?" He continued.

  "That foolish clockwork has no clue what my true intentions are." The Master laughed. "Once I have the hand, Eric will be no more, that is my master plan, that is why I am here, Doctor." He explained. "Eric has no idea who truly killed his parents." The Master leaned into his ear. "It was me." He laughed.

  "Eric will know about this." The Doctor promised. "I'll make sure he does, and when he does, I'll leave him to deal with you, Master." The Doctor threatened him. The Master huffed and left with the troops. The Doctor couldn't believe what he had just heard, for he had tricked the Master into giving him the info. Clever Doctor. "Clever me." The Doctor chuckled. "Thank you, Master, for playing right into my hands." The Doctor clicked his tongue and winked. "Oh well, Allons-y!" The Doctor left for Eric's house, with all the supplies needed.
