Once a Time Lord, Now a Pony

The Doctor knew as soon as the Dalek stated "Correct", it had figured out both his and it's own true identity so when it fired it's laser he knew he had to move and was ready for it, dodging the beam just in time before it would have hit and forced him into his next regeneration. He didn't want to go, not yet anyway.

"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE THE DOCTOR!" The Dalek cried in it's monotone voice.

The Dalek fired blasts wildly going every which way some even hitting guards making them drop dead on the spot. The Doctor knew, every second he spent in the room there was a chance another pony could die in the process. He had to lead his foe away from here, all the while figuring out how to stop it permanently.

"Hey Dalek! You want me?" The Doctor bellowed, and the Dalek turned to look at him. "Come and get me!" He cried, before running off with the Dalek following him out of the tent. In the meantime, Shining grabbed Boltstrike by the chestplate with his magic. It was very telling that nopony tried to stop him or pull him away.

"Do you know what you've done!?!" Shining snarled. Boltstrike didn't seem very fazed by his fury only making Shining madder.

"No, and I don't care as long as those featherbrains get what they deserve." The Captain told his future successor calmly, with a mad glint in his eyes Shining had only noticed once before, so long ago.

"Captain, please! Boltstrike!"

"SHUT UP! You'll get what you deserve!"

Celestia pulled him off Boltstrike before Shining could do something he probably wouldn't regret. Several royal guards restrained the mad Captain while Celestia stripped him of his badge.

"I knew you were dangerous, but I figured if I kept you close I could keep a eye on you and keep you from doing something drastic. I guess I was wrong." She told him, with a hint of betrayal in her voice before turning to the guards. "Take him away!"

Meanwhile, the Doctor ran with the Dalek in pursuit even following him down to Wintergreen Street, the main part of the nearby village. Ponies tried to stop it, but only ended up exterminated for their efforts sadly. Nothing but the Doctor could stop the mad creature, and he knew it. He just had to figure out how...

"Alright, that the best you can do? Go on, try and aim will you? I'll bet you can't shoot me in the nose!" The Doctor taunted, only enraging the Dalek further.

Now normally, he'd consider this reckless and a good way to get himself regenerated but whenever he faced a Dalek, the killers of his people he generally ignored some of his own advice and only wanted to see the creature in question dead. Exterminated, if you will.

"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" The Dalek repeated. The Doctor rolled his eyes.

"Yeah yeah, we get it mate. That all you ever say?" He asked sarcastically. Guess what the answer was?

"EXTERMINATE!"

"Guess that answers my question." The Doctor shrugged.

Then he spotted something. Royal Guards moving some magical explosives for the war right in front of him. A idea began to form in his head. A crazy idea and a rather suicidal one at that, but an idea none the less.

"Well, I'm the Doctor and you can't kill me with lasers... So what are you going to do now huh?" He asked sarcastically. If this didn't work, well...

But the Dalek did exactly as he hoped it would. It engaged it's self destruct countdown. The Doctor smirked, perfect. Then he did something else he'd consider rather mental. The Doctor turned and ran back towards the Dalek, aimed the sonic at it before stopping it in it's tracks. He then opened up the Dalek's uppermost head casing, much to it's protesting.

"ALERT! ALERT! I HAVE BEEN BREACHED!"

"Relax mate, just looking for... Ah, there it is! The reverse gear! Say goodnight sweet prince!" He chorused before kicking back from behind towards the explosives. Then, a few seconds later it happened.

KABOOM!!!

The Doctor watched as the creature of nightmares went up like a rocket and soon was nothing more then memories. "Good riddance..." The Doctor muttered in distaste. "Now, what about Boltstrike...?" He wondered aloud to nobody in particular.

Well, for that answer we must join the stallion himself as he was thrown into a holding cell in the back of a chariot which was bound for Canterlot later that night. In the meantime, a guard had been posted to keep a eye on the Captain who could only seeth and wonder to himself. How, how did that stallion that just showed up with that Doctor character look so familiar. It was almost as if... Nah, it couldn't be could it? IT WAS!!! Boltstrike realized the truth at last. That new stallion was a older Shining Armor. Time travel, that's how he must have gotten here, to stop him no doubt. A inkling of a sick idea began to form. If he killed Shining Armor when he was just a kid, then the older one would never come around to stop him. But first, he had to get out of this cage.

"Guard! Guard, I think something's wrong with me. I might be dying!" He called, faking weakness in his voice.

The guard came over but just as he did so Boltstrike lunged and pulled the guard's sword out of his hilt. He thrusted it forwards before pulling back. The deed was done, and a ring of keys lay near a bloody pool in the grass.
