Within the TARDIS, as it flies through the time vortex, the Doctor flips and pulls switches on the console. The brown stallion hastily stares at the screen, as he continues to fiddle with it. Princess Twilight of Gaia-Prime and Pinkie Pie of Gaia-996 were hanging on for dear life. The pink earth pony mare was giggling, while the lavender alicorn screams her head off.
"THIS IS FUN!!" Pinkie chants, hanging on to a rail.
"D-DOCTOR!!" Twilight calls out, "WHAT'S HAPPENING?!"
"THE CLOISTER BELL ALERTED ME A DISTURBANCE IN TIME!" The stallion answers, trying to steer the ship. "I'M DOING MY BEST TO STEER HER TO THE SOURCE!! HANG ON!!!"
Then, the TARDIS shakes again, as it dives towards another universe, the shaking getting worst. The Doctor hangs on to the console, gritting his teeth as his blue eyes stare into the monitors. Twilight lights her horn, using her magic to strengthen her gravity. Pinkie on the other hoof, begins to bounce around the ship as the shaking grows more violently. The screens then begin to flash green, arriving to it's target. The shaking stops, making Pinkie land onto the silver floor, flat on her face. Twilight sighs in relief, feeling her heart stop a little. The Doctor wiped the sweat from his brow, glancing at the screen.
"We're here," he announces, pulling his Sonic Screwdriver from his collar.
Canterlot, Equestria, Gaia-60192
Twilight was the first to step out of the TARDIS, glancing to see they landed in Canterlot. The alicorn takes a better look at her surroundings, gasping a little. It was Canterlot, but something was very off. The city contains buildings that look new, too new. They look like structures those that would be found in Manehattan, not that she would complain about. The most sagnificant, was a ominous castle with a familiar star embedded on it. The most disturbing, the star looks like her cutie mark. The alicorn gulped, as the Doctor and Pinkie exit the ship.
"Whoa," Pinkie looks around. "Canterlot looks kinda like Manehattan. Why does it look like Manehattan?"
"I doubt Manehattan looks like this," Twilight cringed. "This feels... wrong. Almost, controlled."
"Well," the Doctor scans the ground, using his screwdriver. "my screwdriver says that Canterlot was recently rebuilt."
"Recently," Twilight raised a brow, sounding a little worried. "T-That means--!!"
"HEY!!" A stallion's muffled voice rang.
Suddenly, a battalion of soldiers in grey armor and mask galloped towards the trio. Some pointed guns at the three, while the unicorn ones lights up their horns, using them as weapons. Twilight gasped, while Pinkie gulps.
"Stay still, impersonator!!" The leader shouted, referring to Twilight.
The Doctor presses a button on his screwdriver, creating a high pitch noise to ring in the soldiers' ears. With them distracted, the three ponies began to gallop away, making their escape. With the Doctor leading the escape, he ran towards an alley way, with Twilight and Pinkie following. The trio looks from the alley, as the soldiers begin to search the area. They begin to take to the top of the buildings, Twilight flying, carrying the brown stallion; while Pinkie climbs a ladder. Once to the top, they see the soldiers wrapping chains around the TARDIS, hooking it to a chariot to take it away. As the soldiers disperse, they begin to talk among themselves.
"This just great!" A pegasus soldier snarls, "I can't believe we lost Time Turner!"
"What about those whores dressed like the boss and that dead party pony?" A earth pony soldier quipped.
"They're probably from that stupid cosplaying clan," their superior mentions, getting into the cart. "Let's take this box away for the boss!"
With that, the soldiers leave, with the TARDIS in tow. The Doctor mentally slaps himself, as Twilight and Pinkie glance in agape. "We're in a nightmare," Twilight whispered. The pink mare turns to the alicorn, raising a brow.
"I thought we were in Canterlot," Pinkie blinked.
"This Canterlot," the Doctor spoke. "is a nightmare."
Twilight leaps off the building, hovering above. She flies down towards the ground, as the Doctor and Pinkie begins to climb down. Once on the ground, the alicorn sighs sadly, as her two companions join her. "This' horrible," Twilight turns to the two. "How could this happen?!"
"Well," the Doctor rubs his chin. "I could only guess that a tragedy struck Equestria, causing such conditions to exist."
"Doctor," the alicorn huffs. "we need to get the TARDIS back!! But how? Aren't there any good ponies here?!"
"There is," Pinkie points to a mare trotting out of the alleyway.
The three turns to the mare, which made Twilight gasp. She wore a brow stetson, which looks damaged for about five years. Her orange coat looks ruffled, as her fetlocks looks unshorn. She wore a stoic look, green eyes glancing at the three, as she wore a certain Element of Honesty.
New Canterlot Castle
The soldiers enter the castle's garage, dragging the TARDIS in tow. The unicorn captain gallops towards a arriving figure. "M'am!" He salutes, "There's something you should see." The figure's brows raise a brow. The figure's a mare, an alicorn. She wore dark armor, as a helmet covers her dark blue hair, which has a violet and pink stripe. Her coat lavender, as she bares a star cutie mark. The alicorn trots towards the TARDIS, her violet eyes widening.
"Where did you get this?" She turns to the soldiers.
"We got it from Time Turner," he answers. "and Somepony who looks alot like Pinkie Pie."
She grits her teeth, glaring back at the TARDIS. "Also, a mare who looks alot like you, High Councilor." Twilight Sparkle, High Councilor of the One Gaia kingdom turns to her captain, King Blueblood, her second husband. She glances at the rest of her soldiers, who were cowering at her glare.
"Find them!" She ordered. "I want them alive!"
