The TARDIS dematerialized in the same location, upright this time, in the same location is left. The exited it, coughing. "Rainbow!" He ran toward the house. "I worked it out, I know what missing! You've gotta get out of there!" He used his screwdriver to open the door, and ran up the stairs, and looked at the door to it's immediate right.

He scanned it with his screwdriver, and checked the readings. "Prisoner Zero is here! Prisoner Zero is here! Do you understand me? Prisoner Zero is..." He heard shuffling behind him, and whirled around, as his face met an unfortunate encounter with a gloved hoof, causing him to collapse on the floor.


"...stood, sir. Standing by." A voice finished, as the Doctor awoke. In front of him was a cyan pegasus with rose colored eyes. She was wearing a militaristic uniform, mostly blue, with gold highlights, consisting of many folds and ties. She wore a helmet blue helmet with a lightning bolt on it, and a visor strapped to it, which was pushed up. The mare looked at him. "Alright, unless you want to be injured, lie still."

Ignoring her, the Doctor rushed forward, only to be recoiled back, and have his head get bonked onto the wall behind him. "Oh, that's much better. Brand new me, bonk on the head, just what I needed." He looked at his hoof, and saw that he was strapped to a radiator by a window.

"Alright, hair boy, zip your lips and sit still." The pegasus's eyes frowned. "Why'd you break into this place?"

"You're wearing a uniform, but...wait hold on, hair boy?" The Doctor asked.

"Have you looked in a mirror lately?" The pegasus replied.

"No."

"Now, answer the damn question. Why're you in here?"

"I thought you told me to shut up?"

"ANSWER THE QUESTION, CELESTIA DAMMIT!!!" The pegasus shouted, catching the Doctor off guard.

He shook his head violently, then replied, "I'm looking for Rainbow Dash, is she alright?"

The pegasus recoiled. "Rainbow Dash?"

"Yeah, Rainbow Dash, little blue filly, with a rainbow mane." The Doctor described. "Where is she? I promised her five minutes, but the engines were phasing, I suppose I must've gone a bit far. Has something happened to her?"

"...Rainbow Dash hasn't lived here in a very long time." The pegasus explained.

"How long?" The Doctor asked.

The pegasus stayed silent for a few moments. "A year."

"A year?" The Doctor replied, shocked. "No...no, I can't be a year late, I said five minutes. I promised."

The pegasus glared at the Doctor, anger burning in her eyes.

"What happened to her?" The Doctor asked. "What happened to Rainbow Dash?"

"Brigadier!" A voice from outside shouted.

"Yes, Lieutenant, what is it?!" The pegasus, apparently a Brigadier, shouted back.

"We've checked the perimeter!" The Lieutenant replied, her high pitched voice almost ear-piercing, "Other than this box, nothing appears out of the ordinary."

"Thank you, Lieutenant." The Brigadier replied, and turned back to look at the Doctor.

"I need to talk to whoever lives in this house." The Doctor demanded.

"I live here." The Brigadier replied.

"But you're in the military?"

"And this is my home, you gotta problem with that?" The Brigadier shouted back.

"How many rooms?" The Doctor asked.

This caught the Brigadier off guard. "Huh?"

"How many rooms are on this floor, count them for me now." The Doctor said.

"Yeah, like I'll do that." The Brigadier scoffed.

"Just do it, trust me."

"Why?"

"Because it will change your life."

The Brigadier sighed, "Five. One, two, three, four, five."

"Six." The Doctor finished.

"Six?" The Brigadier said, confused.

"Look."

"Look where?"

"Exactly where you don't want to look, where you never want to look, in the corner of your eye. Look behind you." The Doctor explained.

The Brigadier turned slowly, giving the Doctor a look at her side, and to her tail. "What?" The Brigadier said, "That's impossible, I'd know if that was there."

"There's a perception filter around the door," the Doctor explained, "Sensed it the last time I was here. I should've seen it."

"But, that's a whole room I've never seen before..."

"The filter stops you from noticing," the Doctor said, "Something came here a while ago to hide, and it's still hiding, and you need to unstrap me from this radiator now!"

The Brigadier looked back at him. "Not until I know I can trust you." She started to walk toward the door.

"Don't go toward that door!" He then noticed her tail. It was cut short, in a standard militaristic fashion... and was the color of the rainbow. "You can't be..." He broke out of his trance she he noticed her closer to the door. "Do not touch that door!" She touched it. "Do not open that door!" She opened it. "Oh, Crickey Moses, do I just have a face that nobody listens to!?....again."

She entered the room. Frustrated, he began searching his pockets. "My screwdriver, where is it?! Silver, blue at the end, where did it go?!"

"There's nothing here." The Brigadier said.

"Whatever's in the room, it stopped you seeing the whole room, what makes you think you could see it?" The Doctor said, "Now, please, just get out!"

"Silver, blue at the end?" The Brigadier called.

"My screwdriver, yeah!" The Doctor confirmed, "It must've rolled under the door."

"Definitely," The Brigadier replied, "And then it jumped onto the table."

The Doctor recoiled. "Get out of there," he said, "Get out of there!"

The Brigadier grabbed the screwdriver, which was covered in some kind of goo, then began to walk back toward the door. She felt the fur on the back of her neck stick up. She wasn't alone. She stayed still. Completely still.

"What is it, what're you doing?" The Doctor called.

"There's something else in here." The Brigadier replied, her voice just loud enough for the Doctor to hear.

"Corner of your eye?" He asked, "Do try to see it! If it knows you've seen it, it will kill you!"

"Well, it'll have to try very hard, cause I don't go down easily." The Brigadier replied, prepared to jump what was behind her. She positioned her legs, and with a swift motion, jumped back and kicked the creature in it's face.

It was a long, eel-like creature, connected to the ceiling. It had a blue translucent exoskeleton, and sharp fangs emerging from it's mouth. It saw her, and roared loudly.

"Get out of there!" The Doctor shouted, as the Brigadier came running out of the room. "Give me that!" He said, gesturing to the screwdriver.

"Why?" The Brigadier asked, holding it back.

"Because it you don't you'll die!" The Doctor replied. Hesitantly, the Brigadier gave the Doctor his screwdriver, which he used to lock the door.

"That door won't hold it, you know." The Brigadier scoffed.

"Of course I know, it's an interdimensional multiform from outer space, they're all terrified of wood!" The Doctor said, as he struggled to get free of the strap holding him to the radiator.

The Brigadier looked back at the door, and noticed the door frame was glowing. "What is that creature doing?"

"I don't know...getting dressed?" The Doctor replied, "Just run, get out of here."

"No, this thing has to be stopped." The Brigadier replied.

"Oh, fine!" The Doctor replied, as the door fell over, revealing a stallion with a dog on a leash.

The Brigadier recoiled. "Hold on, huh?"

"Look at the faces." The Doctor instructed.

Sure enough, the creature was growling, but it was coming from the stallion's face. It started to bark loudly, also coming from the stallion's face.

"Okay, that's screwed up." The Brigadier replied.

"It's all one creature," the Doctor explained, "One creature disguised as two, clever old multiform, bit of a rushed job though, got the voice a bit muddled, did you?" The creature focused on him. "Mind you, where'd you get the pattern from? You'd need a physic link, a live feed, how'd you fix that?"

The creature ignored the Doctor, and took a few steps toward the Doctor. "Stop!" He shouted, "You might want to run. She has a lieutenant outside."

"Yeah," the Brigadier supported, "And trust me, you don't want to deal with her, or her sister."

As the creature took another step forward, a voice boomed throughout the house, "PRISONER ZERO, YOU WILL VACATE THE EQUINE RESIDENCE, OR THE EQUINE RESIDENCE WILL BE INCINERATED."

"Ah, there look! More backup!" The Doctor shouted, gleefully.

Prisoner Zero looked around, and entered another room. The Doctor continued to break free of the strap. "Oh, give me that!" The Brigadier used her mouth to break through the Doctor's strap, and grabbed him. She kicked down the window behind her, and jumped out, and landed on the clouds below. "Wait, how can you walk on clouds?"

"I'm not entirely a pony, you know." The Doctor explained, and ran toward the TARDIS, pulling the key out of his pocket, and attempted to open it. "No, no! It's still rebuilding, not letting us in."

The pair heard a barking sound, and looked to see Prisoner Zero from a window. "Come with me, Doctor." The Brigadier ordered, motioning the Doctor to follow her.

"Wait, hold on." The Doctor noticed something behind him. "I destroyed this shed last time I was here, the TARDIS fell on it."

"It was rebuilt." The Brigadier replied, irritated.

"But, it's old, aged!" He licked it. "It's been here at least fifteen years, I'm not one year late, I'm fifteen years late! Why did you say one year?"

"Come on, Doctor, we must leave now!" The Brigadier barked.

"No, this is important!" The Doctor said, "That matters, why did you say one year?"

"WHY DID YOU SAY FIVE MINUTES!?!?" The Brigadier shouted.

The Doctor's eyes widened. "What?"

The Brigadier sighed, and removed her helmet, tossing it to the side, revealing her face and mane. Her rainbow-colored mane was long on the front, drooping down below her muzzle, whilst short in the back, and spiking upward. She has a pink scar over her right eye, and part of her right ear was missing. She had scars on her neck, and any smile on her face was filled with anger. The Doctor then noticed her right wing. It wasn't clad in armor. It was a prosthetic.

"Rainbow Dash..." The Doctor stuttered, "What happened to you?"

"Come with me. Now." Rainbow replied, all seriousness. She grabbed his hoof, and pulled him with her for a few steps, then ran, with the Doctor on her tail. "Lieutenant Pie, report!"

A pink earth pony with a long pink mane ran to Dash's side, "Yes ma'am!"

"Come on, both of you!" Brigadier Dash shouted, "Lieutenant Pie, call your sister! Gaea is under attack, and Cloudsdale is battlefield zero!"
