Doctor Whooves: Savior of the Universe
Series 1

Episode 1: Rude Awakening

It was night in the kingdom of Equestria, all the small towns and big cities were sleeping, save for the occasional pony or couple going back home or heading to a date. They looked up as they saw a fireball shoot across the heavens, far above their heads, they made their wishes to it and continued on their way. In a quiet house near the castle, a small unicorn filly was looking out of her bedroom window and made a wish to the shooting star as well.

“Oh, star, do you think you could make a good friend come to me? Almost everyone at school thinks I’m an egghead or a snobby pony because teacher Celestia likes me a lot…” She said, the filly then walked back to her bed and laid down to sleep.

Inside of the ‘shooting star’ was a big hexagonal room with circle-shaped lights lining the walls, a rustic-looking control panel of the same shape as the rest of the room was at the center, with a glowing pillar going up and down in the middle of the console. The entire room was on fire and glowing with a bright red, from the console and the flames. The only passenger in this place was a light brown stallion with a black, combed mane and a scarf, which he tried to keep safe from the fire.

“TARDIS, do the sprinklers still work?” He said, activating a computer monitor on the console at the center of the room.

A text-to-speech voice from the computer replied, “Sprinkler connections are sealed,” This made the stallion very worried.

“Umm… Can you re-route the ship to not smash into the ground, or worse, a rock and explode?” He asked.

“Negative, manual re-routing required,” The digitized voice replied.

“Oh, that’s absolutely fantastic…” The stallion griped as he got up and trotted to the console, he took a steering wheel and turned it, it did not take long for the wheel to snap off of the console, but the small turn it made was enough to shift the ship, in the form of a blue police box from the outside, into course towards the city of Canterlot, more specifically, it headed towards the backyard of the small unicorn and her family.

The blue box crashed into a small patch of daisies, orchids and lilies, setting the innocent flowers and the grass around them on fire. The young unicorn woke up due to the noise and went outside to see the damage. The stallion inside of the box then climbed out and saw the purple unicorn filly staring at him.

“Oh, hi there little kid, heh,” He began, “You wouldn’t happen to have a fire extinguisher or a water hose around, would you?” He continued.

“…” The filly refused to talk to him.

“Are you mute or something?” He questioned, “Oh, I think I know, your mommy and daddy told not to talk to strangers and you must think that some stallion that crawled out of a burning police box is really dangerous, is that it?” He added.

“Yeah,” The filly finally spoke in her sweet, childish voice.

“You can trust me, how about we introduce ourselves?” He said, “I’m The Doctor” He continued.

“Doctor? Doctor who?” The filly asked.

“They always ask that at first, and I say the same thing, it’s just ‘The Doctor’” He joked.

“Well, I’m Twilight Sparkle, the princess’ best student,” Little Twilight introduced herself, “Also, ‘they’?” She asked.

“I usually travel with other ponies, but I’m currently alone and my ship is on fire, so I won’t be traveling anywhere with anyone anytime soon,” The Doctor said, “Back to the question, do you have a water hose or something like that around here?” He asked.

“Oh, yeah, I’ll get it for you,” Twilight said, she ran to the corner of the garden and came back with a green hose, The Doctor climbed out and took the hose, putting it in the door to the TARDIS. Twilight then turned on the hose and water flowed through it and into The Doctor’s ship.

“Thanks, I’m also pretty hungry…” He said.

“Well, do you wanna go inside and eat something, Mister Doctor?” Twilight offered, The Doctor nodded in agreement and they went into the kitchen. In there, Twilight opened the fridge, “We have juice, a day-old hayburger, ice cream, all that stuff,” She said.

“I’ll take the ice cream, it was really hot in that ship of mine,” The Doctor said. Twilight took the entire pot of ice cream to the table, it was half empty, but that was good enough. The Doctor took a spoon and started eating.

“Say, why were you calling that box thing a ship?” Twilight curiously asked.

“Well, because it is, what is that term that would describe me best… Is it ‘alien’?” The Doctor said, “Yeah, you could say I’m an alien,” He answered himself.

“So you’re an alien that travels around space? Where’s your home world? Do you have a leader?” Twilight questioned. The Doctor lost his silly smile he had on his face and stopped eating his ice cream.

The Doctor was silent for a moment, but spoke up later, “I used to have those… They’re all gone now…” He sadly said.

“That’s really bad, what happened?” Twilight said.

“I don’t want to talk about it, the fire in my ship must be gone now, I have to get going…” The Doctor said as he stood up and left the house.

“Wait!” The small unicorn shouted, “If you’re gonna leave, can you promise to come back some day?” Twilight asked, almost crying because she might lose her new friend.

“I’ll consider it, try to not forget me, Twily,” The Doctor said. Without another word, he stepped into the TARDIS and it slowly disappeared into nothing in front of Twilight, who sat there all night waiting for him to return.

20XX

Many years after that incident, Twilight grew up and moved to the town of Ponyville, where she made many friends and lived peacefully with her dragon friend, Spike. One day, the aforementioned dragon was looking through a drawer of Twilight’s childhood items while she wasn’t around, the purple mare got home while he was looking through her stuff.

“Twi!? I didn’t think you’d come back so soon!” Spike shouted in surprise, Twilight noticed that the dragon was holding a small blue item in his hand.

“What’s that in your hand, Spike?” Twilight calmly asked.

“I found this in the drawer, I don’t know what it is, do you remember what it is?” The small dragon asked.

Twilight picked the blue box up with her magic and spoke, “This is an old memory of a childhood friend of mine, I barely knew him and he left really soon, I haven’t seen him since,” She explained, “I must’ve been pretty young when I made this, it’s so sloppy,” Twilight added.

“Must not have been a good friend if he just left and never came back,” Spike groaned.

“I slightly remember him saying that he’d think about coming back to see me, but it’s been at least twenty years,” Twilight said.

That night, Twilight was sleeping lightly but peacefully, thinking about her friend, ‘Mister Doctor’ for the first time in many years. The next morning, Twilight woke up to an odd sound, one she heard all that time ago, she rushed outside and to the back of the library, the grass was blowing outwards from a point where a blue police box was materializing from thin air, making that odd sound as it appeared. As she expected, a light brown stallion with a scarf opened the doors and stepped outside to see Twilight.

“Are you?” They said in unison.

“Twily!”

“Doctor!”

The rushed at each other and hugged, happy to see each other after so long, in Twilight’s time, at least.

“What took you all these years to come back?” Twilight asked, still smiling.

“I thought I’d come back a few hours after the last time we met, I think I did it, just not at the right year,” The Doctor explained.

“So you traveled through time? I thought that thing was just a spaceship,” Twilight replied.

“There are many things you don’t know about me, “The Doctor smiled, “Anyways, I’m here investigating this town because my ship’s sensors picked up millions of lifeforms somewhere here, and this doesn’t seem like the place to have millions of ponies living here, so I became suspicious,” He explained, breaking up their hug and grabbing a type of wand from the knot of his scarf, it was gold and silver with a green, glowing gemstone at the tip.

“Well, what is it? A bug infestation?” Twilight asked.

“I’m afraid so, does this town have a sewer system or something of the sort?” He asked.

“Of course, I could show you the way,” Twilight said, offering to help. The Doctor nodded and followed Twilight to an entrance into the sewers, which was covered by a circular lid, Twilight removed it and they hopped inside.

“My sonic screwdriver is telling me that we’re closer to the source of the millions of life signals,” The Doctor claimed, he and his companion continued into the sewers, finding sticky green trails and tendrils attached to the walls as they neared the town’s reservoir.

“Now that I think about it, Ponyville’s had a water shortage, could it have something to do with this infestation?” Twilight asked.

“Most likely, it’s probably a colony of bugs that got lost down here and made a nest in the reservoir,” The Doctor said, as they could finally see the exit from the claustrophobic tunnels and pipes, things only got worse, “Well speak of the devil,” The Doctor said, looking upon the massive green crystal at the center of the reservoir, he could see silhouettes of many identical and large insects, squirming inside of their cocoon.

“Looks like we’ve found the hive,” Twilight remarked, “So, how do we kill these things?” She asked.

“I don’t kill, I’d rather take these things far away from here, preferably to their home planet,” The Doctor said. He scanned the crystal to see what species the bugs were, “These are Oagantis Magna Apis, or ‘giant bees from Oagantu’, to simplify,” He said.

“So all we have to do is wake them up and show them the way out so they can go back home?” Twilight asked.

“How I wish it was that simple,” The Doctor began, “This species is very aggressive and irrational, they’d never follow someone not of their kind,” He explained, “Plus, Oagantu is light years away, these things didn’t fly here, someone deliberately brought them to your planet,” The Doctor finished.

“Oh, alright then,” Twilight responded.

“Which means that someone will deliberately have to take them back, and since I’m the one with the spaceship, I have to luck of being the designated pilot for millions of killer bees from space,” The Doctor griped.

“Let me guess, we have to break this cocoon and have them chase you back to your ship, then you fly them to their planet and come back before I assume you died trying,” Twilight said, “Am I right?” She sarcastically added.

“Yes, that’s exactly the plan,” He replied, much to his dismay. The Doctor turned a piece on the sonic screwdriver and pointed it at the cocoon, it emitted a very loud frequency that quickly cracked the crystal, he continued until it began to fall apart and the insects inside awoke, “Now run like you never did before, Twily!”, The Doctor yelled and Twilight obeyed, they ran as fast as they could as the swarm of bees followed down through the sewers.

“The entrance we came from was back there!” Twilight shouted.

“No time to climb ladders, we’re going towards the mouth of this sludge river,” The Doctor replied, gasping for air as he ran for his life. They eventually made it to a lake and swam down, the bees could not follow them underwater.

‘Try to look up and see if they are gone for now’ The Doctor gestured, being unable to actually speak.

‘I think they went away, let’s surface before we drown’ Twilight gestured back, so the two of them went back up and got to solid ground, shaking the water off of their coats.

“Okay, now I need to lure those things into my ship, the TARDIS, to be able to take them back to Oagantu,” The Doctor said, taking those things after himself would be easy as he was one of their targets, “But what about you? You were with me, they have your scent so they’ll track you too…” He added.

“Maybe I could try to disguise my smell with something out here, they will be confused and will leave me be,” Twilight said, The Doctor approved of that idea and Twilight ran off to roll in the dirt and plants.

“See you later, wish me luck!” The Doctor shouted at his friend as she ran away, “Now to take care of those bugs back in town,” He said to himself. He rushed to Ponyville and got the attention of the large bees, he then ran back to the TARDIS, the insects still giving chase.

The Doctor ran around the rooms of the newly reformed TARDIS, the library, study, kitchen and other locations, until the bugs fell back and he returned to the console room. It was a big dome lined with diamond-shaped lights and a rounder console at the center, with a time rotor that connected to the ceiling. He closed the door to the rest of the ship and took off immediately, trying to ignore the bees banging on the door to try and reach him. Meanwhile, outside, Twilight was watching the TARDIS fly into the sky and disappear into nothing.

***

Many light years from Equestria, in the orbit of Oagantu

The Doctor had finally arrived at his destination, the damp and wet planet of Oagantu, home of the Oaganis Magna Apis, the species that was trying to kill him for the past few hours. Now came the hardest part of this mission, safely making the bugs leave the TARDIS to go back to their planet.

“I need to find a way to get these things out, but how?!” he questioned himself, he then had the idea to activate the TARDIS’ air pocket, open the doors and hang outside of the ship, hoping that’d attract the bugs outside, and if they didn’t head home, they’d freeze in space forever, ‘Any possibility is better than being stung to death and eaten’ The Doctor thought. He went through with his insane plan, and it just barely worked, the bees flew too fast and left the air pocket, being flung into their planet’s strong gravitational pull.

All seemed well, The Doctor climbed back inside and tried to fly out of the orbit, but the gravity was too strong for a Time Lord ship to escape.

“Oh no, no, no, no, no!” The Doctor cried out to himself, “If I get pulled too far, I’ll be stranded in this ship with tons of other dangerous giant bugs surrounding me,” He continued, “Please guiding systems, don’t you dare fail me now!” He finished. The Doctor pulled a lever and the TARDIS began to de-materialize, much to his luck.

Back in Equestria

That rainy night, Twilight could barely sleep, worried for The Doctor’s life, but she was assured of his success by the TARDIS’ trademark engine noises roaring outside of her house, Golden Oaks Library. She ran outside and saw a mildly angry looking Doctor standing outside of the TARDIS in the cold rain.

“Oh, thank goodness you’re okay,” Twilight said, “But why do you look so miffed?” She added.

“It’s just that my ship’s internal clock and such are all garbage, I need to remind myself to fix those later,” He griped, “I mean, first, it only lets me come back to you a ton of years later and now I probably left you worried for me because the dang thing took until your nighttime to get me back,” He continued to complain.

“Oh, that’s pretty bad, isn’t it?” Twilight said in agreement, “So, I was thinking…”

“That you want to travel with me and see the universe that you and your kind are so insignificant to?” The Doctor joked, Twilight giggled at his small quip.

“Actually, it’s exactly that,” She quickly explained.

“Wow,” He said, “It’s just that, I got used to traveling and saving planets alone after a while, having a companion on board will be just like my old times,” He added, growing happier as he thought of it.

“Good, when do we start? Where will we go?” She enthusiastically asked.

“Oh, just step right in,” The Doctor said, inviting his friend to enter the police box.

Twilight gasped in awe as she saw the massive control room of the ship, compared to the rather small outside.

“It’s certainly bigger on the inside,” Twilight said.

“Another thing that almost all my other companions say, heh,” The Doctor replied, “Welcome to the Time And Relative Dimensions In Space, ‘TARDIS’ for short, it’s a Gallifreyan spacecraft that can go anywhere in time and space,” He explained, “The big question is…”

“What?” Twilight was very curious at that point.

“Where do you want to go first?” The Doctor asked.

Episode 2: Vengeance

The TARDIS materialized in a huge forest in a different planet, The Doctor opened the doors and he and his companion, Twilight Sparkle, stepped outside.

“Welcome to Ceotis 6, the biggest natural reserve of the universe,” The Doctor said, “We’re billions of years in the future, relative to our departure, many planets have ended at this point and the civilization of this planet took many animals and plants from other worlds to keep them safe in this massive Noah’s ark of sorts,” He explained.

“Oh boy! There’s so much wild life to study here, imagine the incredible books I or somepony else could write about these fantastic animals!” Twilight gushed out in excitement, The Doctor merely smiled at her and walked forth, with Twilight following him.

“This is a natural reserve, so to study all of these things, we’ll need a permit,” The Doctor mentioned, “Do you even have a pen and notebook?” He asked.

“Oh, I left it in the TARDIS,” Twilight said, she ran back inside and came back with a small notebook and a blue pen. They continued walking and reached a huge metallic building, they walked inside and were greeted by a blue creature, it had a bike seat-shaped head with six eyes, three on each side, and a large mouth, it also had lanky limbs with long digits on its hands and double knees.

“Greetings Equestrian and Gallifreyan, how may I be of help to you two?” The odd being said.

“We landed our ship a few meters from here, it’s a blue box, could you bring it to the parking floor?” The Doctor said.

“Oh, of course, anything else?” The blue alien asked.

“Yes, where can we get a permit to study the wildlife of this planet?”

“At the reception desk over there, hand me the keys or whatever you need to fly your ship and I’ll get it,” The alien said.

“Thank yooou… Quari” The Doctor read the alien’s name card and handed him the TARDIS key, they then went on their way.

“Say, Doctor, how did he know our species?” Twilight asked.

“The Ceotu have special eyelids that serve as X-ray filters of some sort, he saw that I had two hearts, like the Time Lord I am,” The Doctor said.

“Wow, I learn something knew about you all the time” Twilight replied.

The two of them got research permits and headed outside to the forest, they began exploring and taking notes on the many animals, plants and other things they encountered. The Doctor had a picture taken of him sitting on top of a large crocodile-like creature.

“So, are you enjoying this planet, Twily?” The Doctor asked.

“Of course, I’m taking notes of all the weird and exotic critters I see,” Twilight answered, “I can’t wait to show this stuff to my friends, I doubt they’ll believe me though…” She said.

“It’s okay, it’s not like they have to know about all of your adventures, I’m sure you can live keeping it a secret,” The Doctor assured her. They continued to explore and take notes, they found many bugs that they would most likely not see anywhere else, and more species of unique fish than Twilight could be bothered to count. They were peacefully passing a crystal cave when they and the other tourists heard roaring engines above them, they looked up and saw a massive ship flying above them, it was golden and disc-like in shape and had domes at the bottom.

The Doctor was silent from shock for a moment, but he later said, “Oh no…”

“What is it? They’re probably just other people visiting, what’s the problem?” Twilight asked.

“Those aren’t any visitors there,” The Doctor said, still in shock, “That’s a Dalek ship,” He spoke.

“What’s a Dalek?” Twilight questioned.

“They’re the worst species in the universe, they hate everything and want to be supreme while everyone stays below them,” He explained, “I’ve stopped them before, but they always return, this time’s no different,”

The two of them rushed into a nearby cavern to hide from any Daleks that may show up, thankfully, none did, so they left and rushed to the reception building, but the Dalek ship was parked at the top.

“Those things must have control of that building, if we want to get to the TARDIS, we’ll have to sneak up to the parking lot at the rooftop,” The Doctor assumed, “That is, if Quari properly flew it up there,” He said. The two ran to the building and hid behind a rock before a Dalek found them once it passed, they walked inside and hid inside of an information booth, they noticed the dead Ceotu on the ground and Twilight shrieked in terror, almost getting the attention of the Daleks.

“Oh gosh, how did she die?” Twilight asked.

“Must’ve been a Dalek shot, those mutants don’t care how many have to die for them to get what they want, it’s disgusting to say the least,” The Doctor whispered, he checked over the desk and saw no enemies, so he gestured for Twilight to hop over and he followed.

The intercom of the building began to blare with a familiar robotic voice, “ATTENTION TO ALL LIFEFORMS ON THIS PLANET, YOU SHALL HAVE TWO OPTIONS: BE ENSLAVED BY THE DALEK EMPIRE OR BE EXTERMINATED ON THE SPOT, CHOOSE WISELY,” The Doctor and Twilight were distracted by the message and did not see the approaching duo of Daleks.

“IDENTIFY YOURSELVES,” One of them said.

“Uhh, I’m John Smith from Earth and this is Twilight Sparkle, we’re just passing by and looking for our ship,” The Doctor tried hiding himself behind his own word.

“SCANNING…” The other Dalek said.

“If they speak up, run for your life,” The Doctor whispered to Twilight.

“SUBJECT IS NOT IDENTIFIED AS EARTHLING ‘JOHN SMITH’, SUBJECT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A TIME LORD,” The Dalek said, “PRIME DALEK DIRECTIVE: EXTERMINATE ALL TIME LORDS,” It continued, Twilight and The Doctor ran away as the Daleks shot at their direction in unison.

“What do we do now that we can’t go to the ship?!” Twilight shouted as they ran.

“We either run or we get captured, killed, enslaved or some form of ‘all of the above’,” The Doctor replied. They headed deeper into the forest, but they saw more Dalek ships arriving, some landing in the middle of the wilderness, it took no time for The Doctor and his companion to realize that they could not run to safety.

Soon, various Daleks appeared around The Doctor and Twilight, surrounding them.

“THERE IS NOWHERE TO RUN, DOCTOR, WE HAVE YOU AND YOUR COMPANION, COME WITH US OR BE EXTERMINATED,” The, presumably, leading Dalek said, Twilight was crying out of fear, she thought she’d die there and would never see her friends again, and they would just think she randomly disappeared, when she actually got killed by murderous robots in the distant future.

“We surrender, take us with you,” The Doctor said. A Dalek went up to him and placed cuffs around his hooves, another one did the same to Twilight, the Dalek squad then guided their prisoners to the reception building and into the basement, where they killed the animals down there to make room for captured tourists. A red and golden Dalek hovered out of the shadows and spoke in a deeper, but still robotic voice.

“I SEE WE HAVE A SPECIAL VISITOR, AM I NOT CORRECT, DOCTOR?” The red Dalek said.

“Yes, whatever-title-you-have Dalek,” The brown stallion joked.

“I AM THE SUPREME DALEK, LEADER OF THE TROOPS THAT ARE CURRENTLY ATTACKING THIS PLANET, CEOTIS 6,” The red Dalek introduced itself.

“I really don’t care about whatever color or title you monsters have,” The Doctor angrily replied.

“TAKE BACK YOUR INSULTS OR BE EXTERMINATED, IN FRONT OF THESE PRISONERS AND YOUR PRECIOUS COMPANION,” The Supreme Dalek threatened, but The Doctor was hardly phased by it.

“Doctor, maybe you should take it back, I’m sure you can find a way to escape, but you need to be alive to do it,” Twilight said, still crying, slightly.

The Doctor was silent, holding back tears, he turned to his companion and said, “That’s the problem, I have no plans, I have nothing, I left my sonic screwdriver in the TARDIS and lord knows where that thing is now,” The Doctor was calming down, but still mildly distressed, “I despise many things, and one of them is telling someone ‘I can’t help you’,” The Doctor’s anger was turning into sadness as he looked at Twilight and admitted that he couldn’t do anything.

“WE DALEKS LAUGH IN THE FACE OF YOUR MISERY, DOCTOR, SOLDIERS, TAKE HIM TO THE CRONOS’ CHAMBER, KEEP THE COMPANION HERE,” The Supreme Dalek ordered, his soldiers obeyed and carried The Doctor further into the basement, Twilight cried in terror, but the Daleks held her back from following her friend.

“REFRAIN FROM GOING AFTER THE DOCTOR OR YOU SHALL NOT BE SPARED” A Dalek soldier told Twilight.

The Doctor awoke strapped to a type of chair, the room he was in was almost pitch black, save for the eyes of the two Daleks around him and a dim yellow ‘X’ flailing in front of him.

“RELEASE THE CRONOS” One Dalek ordered to the other and it obeyed, it used a control panel that released a lock around a creature’s mouth and opened a gate, the creature opened its gaping, glowing maw and roared at The Doctor, who was simply looking at it, not crying, not calling for help, not doing anything about this. The Cronos used it’s vine-like tendrils to grab the Daleks and throw them against the walls with great force, destroying their metallic shells, The Doctor smiled, as if he knew that would happen. The massive plant beast broke through the ceiling and crawled outside, scaring Twilight as it grabbed the Supreme Dalek on its way out.

“WHAT HAPPENED? WHY DID THE CRONOS ESCAPE LIKE THIS?” A Dalek soldier asked. Back underground, the beast’s acidic saliva melted the control panel for the devices keeping The Doctor trapped there, he quickly escaped before the building collapsed on him and met up with Twilight outside, where they witnessed the Cronos monster attack the Dalek ship.

“I think that monster just wanted to escape for all this time,” Twilight remarked, “So when it got out, it attacked those Daleks and got right out,” She added.

“Why it didn’t attack me is beyond, well, me,” The Doctor mentioned. The two of them heard a familiar engine noise, it was the TARDIS appearing above them, Quari opened the doors and they climbed inside, The Doctor closed the doors and took the key from Quari to fly away from that planet.

“Did anyone forget anything back there?” The Doctor asked.

“My notebook and pen! I think it fell when those things cornered us,” Twilight said.

“Okay, I’ll try to find the right coordinates, TARDIS, can you track Twilight’s stuff and take us there?” The Doctor requested, the computer screen turned green and the TARDIS de-materialized, appearing a moment later in the clearing where the Daleks surrounded The Doctor and Twilight, the coast was not clear though.

“ATTENTION, WE HAVE FOUND THE DOCTOR’S SHIP, ALL DALEK UNITS, LOCATE SAUCER E-ALPHA-TEN,” A soldier outside of the TARDIS yelled out, sending a signal to any nearby troops, they seemed to be guarding Twilight’s items there.

“Doctor, purple horse, I hope you can pardon my heroism,” Quari said, he rushed into the Dalek-infested field and grabbed the pen and notebook, quickly turning back and stumbling into the TARDIS before it took off.

“That was absolutely insane!” The Doctor said, calling Quari out for his actions.

“What matters is that it worked,” Quari kindly defended himself.

“Well, can we have one last look at the planet before we leave for good?” Twilight asked and The Doctor obliged, he opened the doors to have a good look at Ceotis 6, the TARDIS was shaking around due to being under Dalek fire, but there was nor risk of anyone falling off.

“Hey, those ships belong to the Centurion Alliance, what are they doing around here?” Quari wondered as he saw five sleek jets in a V formation coming in their general direction. Before any other words were said, the leading ship dropped a large bomb on top of the destroyed reception building, causing a massive explosion that one would be able to just barely see from space.

Quari, Twilight and The Doctor stared in terror as the bomb fell and was detonated, they heard the Cronos’ final cry of agony as it was decimated by the flames. The Doctor quickly closed the doors and took the TARDIS into orbit to truly see the damage.

From space, they had an idea of how bad the destruction was, the fireball became much bigger and it spread across the surface, reaping every plant and animal in its way, Twilight and The Doctor were speechless, so was Quari. The Doctor opened a video chat with one of the pilots.

“Why did you do that?” He angrily asked.

“We had reports of a Dalek invasion in this area, we are merely doing our job,” The pilot replied.

“So is it part of your job to mindlessly destroy millions of specimens from all over the universe, some of which that were otherwise extinct?” The Doctor ranted.

“I deeply apologize is part of the entire Centurion Alliance for this, we hope you can deal with this peacefully,” The pilot said.

“Well… What choice do I have, it’s not like I used to be any better…” The Doctor sighed before taking down the call, “Well, I guess I’ll drop you home, Quari, then do the same to Twilight,” He said and did as he promised, he stopped by Ceotis Alpha and left Quari there, then set off to Equestria.

“What did you mean by ‘It’s not like I was any better’, Doctor?” Twilight asked.

The Doctor reacted to this question much the same way he did all those years when Twilight was a filly, he stayed silent for a moment and said, “There are bits and pieces of my past that I’m not exactly proud of, but that I can do nothing about other than keep them tucked away, never to be mentioned…”

“Once you trust me more with your secrets and details, will you tell me about it?” Twilight questioned, The Doctor simply looked at her and smiled, Twilight nodded in response.

They arrived in Equestria the morning after they originally left, not any more or any less time, Twilight entered the library, slipped into bed before Spike woke up and caught up on the sleep she lost by traveling with The Doctor.

Somewhere across the galaxy

The Doctor had stopped his ship on an asteroid, he stared off into the void of space, thinking about his life, his choices, his home and family back in Gallifrey that he won’t see again, among other things, when he saw a large cylindrical ship heading towards a massive structure in space, not knowing what it was all about, he shrugged it off and headed back into the TARDIS and took off to another adventure.

Author's Note

I wanted to make the average for chapters about 3000 words, but I could not do it to save my life, so 2000-something it shall be.

Next chapter will be a rather late New Year special thingy.

I was also gonna make updates weekly, but I have no patience, so they'll be when I fell like it.

Series 1

Episode 3: Murder at Sea

It was a calm and sunny day in Ponyville, many ponies were walking around with places to go. Meanwhile, Twilight was in her library organizing all of the books by genre and shelf, while Spike sat back and enjoyed a comic book.

“Should Daring Do go under mystery or adventure?” She asked herself.

“I don’t know, I think adventure would be better,” Spike replied, Twilight agreed and placed the book in the adventure shelf.

“Speaking of adventure, I wonder what The Doctor has been up to, I haven’t seen him in four days,” Twilight thought out loud.

“If you keep worrying about him, you won’t get this done, and if I keep chatting, that’s another few minutes that it’ll take for me to see how the Power Ponies defeat the bad guy in this issue,” Spike joked, but Twilight did not react. Out of nowhere, the TARDIS materialized in the library, blowing around paper and messing up Spike’s reading. The doors opened and The Doctor showed up dressed like a stereotypical pirate (eye patch, big hat, parrot on his shoulder, etc.) and grabbed Twilight’s foreleg.

“Costume New Year’s party a few years from here, no time to explain, get in and dress up matey,” The weird brown stallion quickly said, confusing Twilight and Spike, but the purple unicorn agreed, got off of the ladder and entered the TARDIS.

“…What?” Was Spike’s only reaction as the blue police box disappeared into the air.

2023, Middle of the sea

The Doctor and Twilight arrived at the costume party on a large boat, the TARDIS being parked in a supply closet. The two of them got out, The Doctor dressed as a pirate and Twilight as a shark, and got to the deck, it was a starry night outside and the firework cannons were ready to fire at midnight.

“Arr mateys! Care for one of me home-made drinks?” A mare, who was also dressed like a pirate, offered, Twilight declined but The Doctor took a sip of the drink, it tasted like average root beer, so he took an entire glass and drank it.

“Are you enjoying yourself already, Twily?” The Doctor asked.

“It’d be better if my shark costume could’ve just been a set of fins and bit-store plastic fangs, but, yeah, it’s pretty fun,” Twilight replied, “What time is it anyway?” She added.

“It’s eleven fifty five, just a few minutes to midnight, this is gonna be so much fun!” The Doctor said, Twilight found it odd that he was acting so cheerful, he never seemed like the type of pony to wear pirate garb and be excited for this type of celebration, but she just rolled with it, “I’ll go fetch some drinks at the ship’s kitchen, I’ll be right back,” He said.

He headed to the kitchen and Twilight tried to party like any other pony there, but she wasn’t too used to doing so. She soon heard a scream from the kitchen and rushed to check on The Doctor. Once she got there, she saw a horrific scene, a blue stallion was laying on the floor next to an open closet, his mane was pale and he had claw marks on his neck, there was no blood coming out of the wounds, and he was clearly dead.

“Doctor, what happened here?!” Twilight shouted.

“I had nothing to do with this, she just opened the closet to get something and that guy fell out, dead!” He replied, defending himself.

“I know you wouldn’t do this, but then, who was it?” Twilight continued.

“Clearly not a pony, unless you know a mare or stallion with claws around here,” The Doctor said, he scanned the corpse with his sonic screwdriver, the results said that the cuts went a lot deeper than they thought.

“Whatever sliced at him cut right through his neck, but it looks like it just scratched the poor guy!” Twilight remarked.

The clock struck midnight and the firework show began, but it was swiftly stopped by The Doctor and Twilight bringing in the corpse from the kitchen. Everyone gasped in horror at what they saw there.

“We found this stallion dead in the kitchen, we don’t know how he died or what killed him, but one thing’s for sure,” Twilight said.

“This boat isn’t safe, we have an other worldly guest among us and we must figure out who it is before everyone else suffers the same fate,” The Doctor finished the sentence.

“W-What do you g-guys mean by ‘other worldly’?” A mare dressed as a clown asked.

“It means there’s some sort of alien in this exact ship and we need to find where or who it is before it’s too late,” The Doctor explained.

“Wait, how do you two know it was an alien? It could’ve been a wolf or some other clawed animal that sneaked on board,” A stallion in a tiger costume said.

“If it wasn’t a shape-shifting monster from space, how do you explain the fact that we have yet to see it or hear it?” The Doctor said, silencing the tiger stallion. The Doctor went into the TARDIS and got a magnifying glass, he also swapped his pirate hat for a detective cap. He walked back outside and took the corpse inside to examine it for any clues, he found odd particles around the claw wounds, he took a few and put them in the TARDIS to be scanned.

“Approximate time for scan completion: One hour,” The ship’s computer said, “Enjoy some: smooth jazz, as you wait for completion,” It continued, the ship’s speakers then began to play a calm, jazzy song. The Doctor went back outside, where Twilight was questioning the pirate mare at the bar, who completely denied any involvement with the crime, claiming she was giving out drinks all the time.

“Did you find anything out, Twilight?” The Doctor asked.

“Nothing, everyone denied to have done anything, at least everyone I questioned,” She replied, “I’m suspicious about that mare dressed like a sea monster,”

“That’s far too obvious, no self respecting monster would give themselves away like that,” The Doctor said, “If you excuse me, I need to go check on the TARDIS,” He added and left to the supply closet where he parked the ship.

The Doctor checked on the computer, the results of the scan were in, “DNA Samples successfully scanned, species identified: Knycobus,” The computer said.

“Okay, what’s a Knycobus?” The Doctor asked.

“Knycobi are the main species found in the planet Kayko, they have the ability to disguise as other beings, copying most, if not, all aspects of their target,” The Computer said. The Doctor said nothing and ran to Twilight.

“Twilight!” The Doctor shouted, he got closer to her and continued, “Twilight, I found out what we’re searching for!”

“Really? What type of alien is it then?” Twilight asked.

“It’s a Knycobus, I was right in thinking that it was a shape-shifter, these things can copy the appearance and other traits of their victims,” The Doctor explained.

“So it could be anyone in this ship?” The mare dressed as a sea monster stepped up.

“They’re also very sensitive to loud frequencies, so the sonic screwdriver is the perfect weapon,” The Doctor whispered, pulling the screwdriver from his red pirate sash.

The sea monster mare removed her costume and revealed herself to be wearing a jacket, she also had an odd, large bracelet or watch and a purple sonic screwdriver hanging from her pocket.

“I am Agent Chrome from the Centurion Alliance, I was sent here to investigate the intrusion at this party,” She introduced herself.

“Oh, thank goodness, I thought you were the monster and you were about to kill everyone,” The Doctor said in relief.

“So you’re on our side?” Twilight asked, worried.

“Depends on what you two are, if you’re actually the Knycobi, I am far from your side,” Chrome said. She scanned The Doctor and Twilight with her sonic screwdriver and identified them as Equestrian and Gallifreyan, “Not sure what I am thinking, a physical scan will do nothing, those creatures can copy every part of another being’s body,” She said.

“Well, I can assure you that I’m not the killer here, and neither is my friend, Twily,” The Doctor replied.

“They copy everything except for the blood and its composition,” Chrome finished her sentence.

“So what? Are you gonna test everyone’s blood? There are at least a thousand ponies in this ship, good luck, weirdo,” The tiger stallion said.

“Hm…” Chrome hummed, looking at the pony that just replied to her, “That sounds very suspicious,” She continued, like when The Doctor spoke before, the stallion was silenced, “Plus, I have other methods of figuring out who is the Knycobus,”

“This is already boring, I’ll go to the bathroom,” The Doctor said, he did as he promised and headed into the ship, a scream was heard from the bathroom and Twilight, along with Chrome, went to check. A white mare was laying on the floor with the same dried claw marks on her neck as the first victim.

“I knew it, our killer is The Doctor!” Chrome said, pointing at him with her sonic screwdriver.

“I swear, it wasn’t me,” The Doctor claimed.

“So how about we check the security footage,” Chrome said with a smirk on her face.

They headed to the security room of the ship and asked to see the tape for what just happened in the bathroom, the tape began. It showed the pirate mare from the bar entering the bathroom with The Doctor almost directly behind her, The Doctor went into one of the stalls the pirate mare washed her hooves, a rather big bug crawled form underneath one of the stalls and morphed into a massive creature with no eyes, a large mouth and large claws, it attacked the mare and transformed into her before taking her costume and walking out of the bathroom.

“So, currently, the bar girl is the monster?” Twilight asked.

“Well, shoot, I’m sorry I accused you earlier, Doctor,” Chrome said.

“It’s alright, we have to go and get that beast before it attacks again,” The Doctor replied, they rushed out to the deck and got to the bar to question the pirate mare.

“I did nothing, mateys, I’m pretty sure you got the wrong pony,” The pirate mare claimed, she was shivering slightly and sweating, it was clear that she was lying. The Doctor and Chrome pointed their screwdrivers at her and played a very loud frequency, this made the mare shiver and sweat even more, her eyes were also twitching.

“Just show yourself, Knycobus, we know it’s you,” The Doctor said. Surely enough, the monster’s disguise faded away and the mare became a large, scaly creature with no eyes. It roared and scared the party goers into hiding, it attacked the tiger stallion and morphed into him before chasing the heroes into the ship. They all ran into the lower decks of the ship, where it threw Chrome into a closet and transformed into her to fool The Doctor and Twilight, but the real Chrome walked out of the closet and called out for them.

“Two Chromes?” Twilight said.

“One of them is the monster, and we know exactly how to find them out,” The Doctor said, he got his screwdriver and emitted a high frequency to mess up the Knycobus. It’s disguised faded away and the real Chrome ran off with The Doctor and Twilight. They climbed back to the upper deck and the Knycobus followed.

“How do we defeat this thing?!” Twilight asked.

“These things are also sensitive to the elements in sea water, so this guy chose the perfect type of party to try and go on a killing spree,” Chrome answered. The heroes were backed against the bar, where they started, with a firework cannon nearby, the Knycobus swatted away Chrome and The Doctor, turning into the latter. Thankfully, The Doctor dropped his screwdriver when he was flung away, so Twilight picked it up and used it on the monster in front of her.

“Twilight, that cannon next to you never went off!” The Doctor yelled. Twilight turned the cannon towards the Knycobus and lit the fuse, keeping the monster stunned with the loud sound, the cannon soon went off and pushed the Knycobus into the air, the weight of the beast bringing it back down ino the sea, where it dissolved into nothing.

The Doctor got up and walked to the edge to see the Knycobus dying, “I don’t like killing people and creatures, or other people doing that, but man am I glad that you ended that monster,” He said.

“I’d love to stick around, but now that the Knycobus is gone, I have to go,” Chrome said, “See you weirdos later,” She said as she pressed a few buttons on her large bracelet and disappeared into thin air. The pilots of the boat ultimately decided to head back to land, and The Doctor decided to take Twilight back home so she could clean up the library.

“Wait, don’t you think you could take me somewhere else first? You can always take me back a few minutes after we left from Equestria, so why not?” Twilight tried to convince The Doctor, and it worked.

“Yeah, you’re right, let’s go to one other place before we get back, choose from this star map and make sure it’s worth it,” The Doctor said, the computer’s screen became a map of the entire galaxy with several planets marked, from Ceotis Alpha, to Earth, and a mysterious dark blue planet with a gray label saying ‘Trenzalore’, but Twilight did not want to go there yet.

“How about this tiny green one, Xlyy…” Twilight tried reading the odd name.

“Xlyzo’foriuz? Sure, I haven’t been there before, could be fun,” The Doctor replied, he turned off the monitor and got to the TARDIS’ controls, taking off immediately to the bizarrely named world.

Doctor Whooves: Savior of the Universe

Series 1

Episode 4: Crimson Waters

Xlyzo’foriuz, a dark planet that rests in an unexplored corner of the galaxy, almost nothing was known about this world other than ‘Its atmosphere is poisonous’.

A blue box materialized from nothing on a small island in the middle of an endless red ocean, the dense, green clouds in the sky rained a liquid of the same color as the sea.

“I’m so excited to see this planet!” Twilight said, she walked towards the TARDIS’ doors, but was stopped by The Doctor.

“Wait!” The Doctor shouted, “The TARDIS’ outer sensors detect not only zero percent of oxygen in this planet’s atmosphere, but also a lot of water around us,” He explained.

“So we can’t breathe out there?” Twilight asked.

“Exactly, we’re gonna space suits,” The Doctor said, he went into the TARDIS and came back with a pair of smooth and orange suits and yellow helmets, “We’ll also need oxygen tanks,” He went back and returned with two sets of air supply tanks.

Twilight opened the door and was surprised by the seemingly infinite crimson ocean in front of her.

“What’s the composition of this water?” She asked.

“The outer sensors say it’s H2OS, which means it has the same composition of water but with a molecule of sulfur, it shouldn’t damage the suits too much, or at all,” The Doctor said. They stepped outside and almost fell into the ocean.

“There doesn’t seem to be anyone around, just us on this tiny island,”Twilight mentioned.

“Do you know how to swim? ‘Cause out best bet to find life is to go into the water,” The Doctor said, Twilight tucked away her notebook and pen and followed The Doctor into the crimson ocean. The vision underwater was blurry, but Twilight and The Doctor could still see a few meters ahead of them. They eventually spotted a type of glass dome, they descended towards the ocean floor and walked to the entrance to the dome, the mechanical door opened and they trotted inside.

“All visitors or staff must remain in place during the decontamination procedure,” A voice in the intercom said, presumably a prerecorded message. The water was drained and a gas entered the room to kill any bacteria or other micro-organisms, the gate ahead then opened to let oxygen inside, “It is now safe to remove your suit,” The intercom voice returned. The Doctor and Twilight removed their suits, the latter making sure to take her notebook and pen with her.

“Why do you carry those things everywhere?” The Doctor asked.

“I could turn all of these notes I’m taking into a book about my travels with you,“ Twilight replied, “It’d all make for an amazing story, imagine: ‘Journal of Incredible Things, by Twilight Sparkle’,”

“Sounds amazing, or should I say, incredible,” The Doctor joked in response. The two of them put their space suits and air tanks away in the designated closet and went on to explore the base.

It was not long until The Doctor and Twilight met someone else at the base, a male zebra to be specific, he had the traditional black-striped coat and a mohawk-like mane, though it had sections that were dyed a very dark red, he also wore a brown jacket or vest.

“’Ey, what’re ya two doin’ in this base?” The zebra asked with a thick Scottish accent.

“Oh, the door back there just kinda let us come in, we’re so sorry,” Twilight apologized.

“It’s all right laddies, I thought you two were dangerous intruders or somethin’ of the sort,” The zebra said, “By the way, the name’s Hond,” He introduced himself.

“Fantastic to meet you, Hond, I’m The Doctor and this is Twilight Sparkle,” The Doctor greeted the zebra.

“So, do you two want me to show ya ‘round the place?” Hond offered, The Doctor agreed and Twilight simply nodded and they began to follow Hond around the underwater complex.

They three of them arrived a type of research room where an older looking blonde unicorn mare was taking notes in front of a large fish tank, next to her was a younger mare who looked just like her, The Doctor assumed they were a mother and her daughter, he turned out to be right.

“Hello there, Hond, purple and scarfy, I’m Sunlight Bloom, this young lady beside me is my daughter, Light Blossom,” The older mare greeted the trio, introducing herself to Twilight and The Doctor.

“Sunny, these are Twlight Sparkle and The Doctor, they just kind of entered the base, but they mean no harm,” Hond introduced the duo for them.

“I already introduced myself and said hi, so how about I explain everything?” Sunlight asked, “This is the Marine Research Facility Beta, or MR for short, we set up this base to discover about the life in the oceanic planet Xlyzo, our crew consists of me, Light, Hond and two other ponies, one of them is a big slacker and the other is usually out swimming, but he should be back any moment to greet you,” Sunlight said.

“Very interesting, who is this stallion that is not here yet?” The Doctor asked.

“He never gave his full name, he just goes by ‘Dommy’, he looks weird at first but he’s very sweet,” Light said.

“Oh, I’m sure I’ll be glad to meet him just as much as I was meeting you guys,” The Doctor said, they all heard the intercom speak in one of the air locks. A few minutes later, a gray stallion with a suit and messy black mane showed up.

“Dommy!” Light said as she rushed to give him a hug.

“Hello Dommy, I’m The Doctor, nice to meet you,” The Doctor greeted.

“Why, hello Doctor, great to meet you too,” Dommy replied, giving The Doctor a hoof shake, “Well, I’m tired, so I’ll just go to the sleeping quarters,” He said.

“Well, he was a little bit weird,” The Doctor said as Dommy left, “But anyway, wat were you gals researching in this fish ta-” The Doctor stopped and jumped as a shark-like monster hit the glass pane, it was a dark gray with white bones serving as armor around its body, its eyes glowed a bright yellow.

“That’s a Slegte Hond, named after our local zebra, the first one to get chased by it while he researched a nearby coral field,” Sunlight joked.

“Not funny gals, I only cried for a few minutes and got over it,” Hond replied.

“I must ask, why keep it in captivity?” The Doctor questioned.

“Because these things travel in big packs and are very violent, how ‘bout you two try to research an entire army of killer sharks in another planet,” Hond answered, “Plus, it’s not like we’re hurting it or anything,” The zebra added.

“He’s right, every animal that we keep at this base is treated with care and respect, as if they were our pets,” Sunlight said.

“Good to know you’re not just keeping it here for research and experiments, but it clearly wants to escape, do you release specimens after some time?” The Doctor asked.

“Of course, silly, this big guy is the third Slegte Hond we’ve picked up in the two years we’ve spent down here,” Light responded.

“Alright,” The Doctor said in, “This place is really neat and all, but where could we spend the night, day or whatever time it is right now?” He asked.

“We have a second sleeping quarter that only Dommy stays in, maybe you could convince him to let you two stay there with him,” Sunlight said, The Doctor nodded and walked away with Twilight following him a moment afterwards.

“That shark thing looked so cool, Doctor!” Twilight said, “Wherever this trip goes, it’ll make for a great chapter in my book,” She continued.

“How about we think about that stuff next morning?” The Doctor suggested, they entered the sleeping quarters and woke up Dommy, who was barely asleep yet, “Hey Dommy, could we sleep in this room for tonight?” The Doctor asked.

“Of course, just don’t snore too loud, I hate that,” Dommy replied, Twilight and The Doctor got into the beds to the left and fell asleep quickly. The next morning, The Doctor and Twilight woke up firt and found their way to the cafeteria to eat breakfast, they had toast and fruit juice. Dommy soon showed up to eat something as well.

“Twilight, I have to tell you something,” The Doctor began.

“What is it?” Twilight asked.

“This ‘Dommy’ guy looks and feels oddly familiar to me, but I absolutely cannot pinpoint who or what he reminds me of,” The Doctor said, Twilight remained silent, if the Doctor couldn’t think of something familiar to him, she would know it even less. They passed by Hond, Sunlight and Light and greeted all of them as they made their way to one of the research rooms.

Arriving at their desired room, Twilight got her tools out and took notes of the odd but majestic fish in the tank in front of her and her friend.

“From the surface of this place, it looked like it’d be a dangerous mission to save an entire civilization, but this is actually really ca-”

“Attention all crew members, Reactor A is malfunctioning, repeating, Reactor A is malfunctioning,” The intercom voice cut Twilight off, the two of them rushed out, following the signs to the reactors of the base.

“What is happening?!” The Doctor shouted as he got to the reactor room.

“Didn’t ya hear the intercom? Reactor A is malfunctionin’,” Hond said.

“The two reactors have been very unstable these past few months, this is the second time in the week that we’ve had to repair them,” Sunlight said as she put on a hazmat suit to get close to the reactors. The doctor noticed Dommy standing next to the door behind him, with a blank expression on his face, and he turned around to face the gray colt.

“What is with that accusatory look, Doctor? I just got curious as to what was happening here, and so did you and your companion,” Dommy defended himself.

“Fair enough, I suppose,” The Doctor said, “Let’s go, Twilight,” He then left, keeping an eye on Dommy as he went out of the room and headed back to the observation chamber.

“I’m just more suspicious of Dommy now, I’m sure he’s been causing the malfunctions, in movies, it’s almost always the obvious weirdo who turns out to be the bad guy,” The Doctor claimed.

“Yeah, I also think he looks like the type of pony to secretly sabotage a base like this to kill everyone and escape without anyone knowing,” Twilight agreed, they reached the observation room they were in earlier and The Doctor sat near a wall as Twilight took notes of the fish’s behavior.

***

The day passed and The Doctor and Twilight headed back to the sleeping quarters for the night. The next morning, Twilight woke up to something warm dripping on her head, the crimson water that surrounded the facility was making its way inside. The Doctor woke up soon after and noticed a very shallow pool of red water on the floor.

“Doctor, Twilight, Dommy, come and see this!” Sunlight said with a worried tone, the three of them got up and followed the old mare to the Slegte Hond’s research room. The glass pane was broken and water was leaking into the base from the ceiling.

“The shark monster,” Twilight began, “Escaped!?” She yelled.

“Yes, I woke up early to the sound of glass shattering, before all of you woke up, I went to check and the pane was broken and it was gone,” Sunlight explained.

“Attention all crew members, Reactors A and B are malfunctioning, repeating, Reactors A and B are malfunctioning,” The intercom said. Everyone was tense and immobile until Sunlight spoke up.

“I think we may have to abandon this base,” She said.

“I agree,” Hond said as he entered the room, “We need to get out of here, but how?”

“Let me get this straight: Me and my companion, Twily, are stuck in a flooding underwater base along with a killer alien shark and not one, but two unstable nuclear reactors?” The Doctor said, “I have yet to see better odds to fight against,” He added.

END OF EPISODE 4, PART 1

Author's Note

I want to not upload everything in one go, but I have 0 patience, send help, please.

Can you guess the meaning of "Slegte Hond"? Will The Doctor and Twilight make it out of the base alright? Who is Dommy? Why am I asking all of these pointless questions? Most of these and more will be answered sooner or later.

Episode 5

Doctor Whooves: Savior of the Universe

Series 1

Episode 5: Azure Skies

“I’m sure there are some belongings and other things you’d like to get or do before we leave, I still need to figure out how to get my own ship down here, meanwhile, find your stuff, try not to get killed by the Slegte Hond that’s probably roaming around the base, have fun!” The Doctor joked, the crew of the MR then scattered across the ship to gather their items while The Doctor stayed back at the dome he and Twilight got in at, trying to call the TARDIS into the base.

“Doctor, if my daughter or I end up dead, make sure to take the surviving one home,” Sunlight said, she gave her daughter, Light, a hug and headed back into the base with her.

“Miss Bloom, where are those important files I told you to put away when we got here?” Dommy asked, Sunlight pointed in the direction of her office and Dommy was on his way to get his items.

Hond was looking through the drawer under his bed and packed his game system, comic books and left an old soda can there, as he thought it was expired.

Twilight ran inside while The Doctor wasn’t looking to pick up her stuff from her room, while she looked around her own items, she decided to get The Doctor’s stuff.

‘Dommy is really suspicious, this is my chance to find something to show he caused this’ Twilight thought, she opened Dommy’s drawer and saw some odd things, like a device that resembled the sonic screwdriver The Doctor possessed, but with three small, cylinder spires in place of a gemstone, the device was over some type of blue print for a mechanical creature resembling a pony, but with a blank expression and a weird handlebar on its head, Twilight wanted to take those and rush to tell The Doctor, but she didn’t want to risk getting found out, so she left the strange belongings as they were.

A sleepy, blue stallion was ultimately awoken by the sirens and hot water dripping on his face, he packed up and rushed to an exit, but Sunlight told him that he had to meet with a light brown stallion at one of the entrance domes.

The Doctor finally noticed that Twilight was gone and went looking for her, forgetting about the shark that could be anywhere in the faciity.

“Twilight! Twi! Twily!” The Doctor called out, “Please don’t tell me you’re at the other end of he bloody building,” He quickened his pace and rushed across the corridors, looking for his friend. He came across Hond making his way to the dome.

“Doctor, should I wait at the dome while you’re over there?” The zebra asked.

“Yes, I just need to find Twilight,” The Doctor replied, Hond continued to run to the dome, the red water rising on the floor, making it hard to walk around. The Doctor reached a large dome where the Slegte Hond, presumably that one that was in captivity, moving about on the wet floor, Twilight was at the other end of the room, he called out for her and she replied.

“Doctor, do you think it’s safe to cross?” Twilight asked.

“I don’t think so,” The Doctor replied, he looked up and saw the last thing he wanted, a small pack of Slegte Honds bashing into the glass dome, cracking it ever so slightly, trying to reach their friend, “Change of plans, run over here now!” The Doctor yelled. Twilight obeyed and rushed over to her friend, sloshing some water around with her steps. As Twilight made it, the sharks above broke the glass and the water came pouring into the building, the rest of the dome then shattered and the facility was flooded, The Doctor grabbed Twilight’s hoof and tried to outrun the wave of crimson water, but he failed and it caught up to them.

The Doctor awoke a minute or two later, under the red water, with Twilight drifting away from him, he swam to grab her and pulled her around the flooded base. The Doctor was bleeding slightly and he got worried that, much like Earth sharks, Slegte Honds could smell the blood and track him down the underwater corridors. The Doctor swam as fast as he could while still carrying Twilight and trying to avoid being detected by the sharks, but he was spotted and had to hide in a supply closet where the beast couldn’t get him.

As The Doctor swam around, he spotted Dommy doing the same and carrying a bag, he tried following Dommy, which led him to a type of trap , he then had to run from a duo of sharks. The Doctor tricked them into tracking a small fish and he continued on his way to the entrance dome.

After lots of swimming and escaping death, The Doctor made it to where the others were waiting, he still could not get a good signal with his sonic screwdriver, presumably due to all of the water in the way, he even tried using the TARDIS’ keys, but nothing worked.

“Doctor, how do you bring your ship here? The reactors are gonna explode at any moment, we need a way to get out now!” Sunlight said, trying to stay at the surface.

“What do you honestly think I’m trying?” The Doctor said, “I can’t get a single good signal to bring the TARDIS here,” He angrily added. Just as he was giving up, The Doctor finally received a signal and immediately took the chance, he sent out a call and the TARDIS materialized in the water.

“You’re gonna try to fit al of us in that little box?” Hond asked.

“Oh, will you be surprised or what,” The Doctor said, opening the door to his ship, the water flowed inside, getting drained by the floor, the entire group got inside, except for Dommy, who got there slightly later.

“Wow, this sure is one heck of a ship, looks good on the inside and outside,” Hond remarked, the Doctor closed the doors to not have any more water in the TARDIS.

“Who will be the first to mention the thing,” The Doctor said.

“What thing?” Light asked.

“Who cares, let’s get right out of this place,” The Doctor said, trying to take off, but a Slegte Hond grabbed the TARDIS in its mouth and shook it around, scratching the police box outside but just barely affecting the inside, “Let go, Toothy, I’ll play with you later!” the Doctor shouted as he kept on trying to take off, he eventually did and the TARDIS was safe.

The Doctor’s ship stopped at Xlyzo’foriuz’ closest moon, Geb, he opened the doors so the passengers could see the planet they were just in, in all of its cloudy and green glory, from the moon’s light blue atmosphere.

“Believe it or not, this is the second time I’ve seen a big green planet explode like this, thankfully, this one didn’t destroy the whole thing,” The Doctor commented as they all saw a small fireball form on the surface of Xlyzo, creating a hole in the clouds through which they could see the planet’s true color.

“I never thought I’d call mass destruction ‘beautiful’, but that is a wonderful sight,” Hond said.

“I say the same, friend,” Twilight said. The group stayed and enjoyed the view a bit more.

“Well, now it’s time to take y’all home, presumably to Earth,” The Doctor broke the silence, most of the group turned to the TARDIS and walked over, but Dommy stayed back and pulled the sleeve of his suit, revealing the same device Agent Chrome had with her.

“I have my own life to live, see you all some other time,” Dommy said before disappearing.

“How did he have a vortex manipulator and why?” The Doctor asked himself, “Anyways, let’s go, people with families and friends to go back to,” He said as he entered the TARDIS and turned on the engines.

***

Manehattan, Equestria, 20XX

After getting the crew of the research base back home, The Doctor and Twilight made one final trip to a small cafe in Manehattan, so they could rest and have some stuff to eat and drink.

“Did the lady at the counter say how long it’d take for our orders to get here?” The Doctor asked.

“They never do, sadly,” Twilight replied, they sat waiting for their food for a few minutes and it finally got there. Twilight desperately wanted to tell The Doctor about her discoveries on Dommy, but she stayed silent and enjoyed her meal. Once they were done, Twilight hopped into the TARDIS while The Doctor payed the bill for the food. The phone in the ship then rang and she answered it.

“Hello, Twilight?” The person on the other end said.

“Yes, who is this?”

“I’m The Doctor,” The voice continued.

“But, how? You’re in there paying for the food at the cafe,” Twilight was confused.

“As I’m talking to you here, I’m dead, the version of me that’s with you, that is,” The supposed Doctor said, “It’s a long story, I’m sure that old feller will explain when it’s time,” He continued.

“I have no clue what’s going on,”

“Well, I don’t have much time, but I need you to know something, about that guy Dommy,” The Doctor on the phone began, but Twilight put the phone away as her Doctor showed up, leaving her without knowing the future Doctor’s message.

“Were you on the phone? Who was it?” The Doctor asked.

“Oh, just a wrong number, you know,” Twilight replied. The Doctor took control of the TARDIS and finally transported it somewhere, Twilight was confused at where she was once she opened the TARDIS doors.

Episode 6: Led Clouds

A large shuttle on an odd planet’s surface was empty, save for a single pegasus colt, his fur was a bleached gold color and his messy, curly mane was a few shades darker. He was sitting alone at the cafeteria of the ship.

“How old is this food, anyway?” He asked himself, “Doesn’t matter if I go outside, eat spoiled food or stay here doing nothing, I’ll be dead soon…” He spoke. From a supply closet, he heard an odd wind-like sound and what seemed to be a ship landing. A brown stallion and a purple unicorn walked out of the closet.

“TARDIS, what’s your obsession with landing in supply closets?” The Doctor said, locking the TARDIS with the sonic screwdriver.

“Umm, where are we?” Twilight asked.

“In a stranded spaceship on the planet Crux,” The lonely stallion said.

“Thanks” Twilight replied.

“You seem to be alone here, are you?” The Doctor asked, the stallion took a bite of his food before answering.

“Yep, everyone else went outside and something happened to them,” The yellow colt said, “My best, or, worst guess is that they’re dead and rotting out there,” He added.

“Well aren’t you a Positive Paul if I’ve ever seen one,” The Doctor chuckled, “Do you have anything to keep yourself not bored while you live your life in this ship, whatever its name is?” He asked.

“It’s the S.S. Bad Wolf, a cargo ship that was meant to pick up something from another planet, but we had to do an emergency landing,” He said, “The name’s Lightning, by the way, Lightning Cloud,” Cloud introduced himself.

“You’re kind of avoiding my question, what even is there to do on a stranded ship on a deserted planet where it constantly rains molten led?” The Doctor asked again.

“Well, I eat what’s left in the cafeteria, if I’m lucky I might get enough signal for a good song on the radio or a TV show episode,” Cloud explained.

“A life where I can rarely listen to music is a life I’d kindly quit,” The Doctor said, he go odd looks from the two other ponies in the room, “I’m not encouraging suicide by the way, follow your dreams kids, teens, everyone,” He added, correcting himself.

“Who are you talking to, Doc?” Twilight asked.

“Doesn’t matter, what matters is that while the metal rain doesn’t let us get back home, We’ll be keeping you company, Cloud,” The Doctor said.

“Thanks, what’re your names, by the way?” Cloud asked.

“This purple missy is Twilight Sparkle, student of magic back on Earth and an aspiring writer, and I’m The Doctor, renegade Time Lord who tasked himself with protecting the universe, from the biggest civilizations to the smallest of lives,” The Doctor introduced the two of them.

“Great to meet you two,” Cloud replied, “What do you two have in mind as a ‘fun’ thing to do?” He asked.

“Well, you got me there…” The Doctor said.

“Oh! Don’t you have that guitar you bought at a space fair?” Twilight said.

“Yeah, it’s somewhere in the TARDIS, I’ll go get it,” The Doctor agreed with his companion’s choice and headed into the TARDIS, coming back with a black box and a black electric guitar, he plugged the amplifier in and connected the guitar itself, “I have a very limited repertoire, so choose wisely,” He said.

“My birthday was yesterday, but nobody was there to celebrate it,” Cloud said.

“Be very glad that my limited repertoire includes ‘Happy birthday to you’, or else I’d feel kinda bad for everyone,” The Doctor said, he then began to play and sing the song in its entirety.

“Happy late birthday, Cloud!” The Doctor and Twilight said in unison.

“Thank you,” Cloud said, smiling. As they were having a good time, The Doctor heard an odd noise outside, he went to look through a window and saw a shadow running just out of his vision.

“Did anyone else hear that?” The Doctor asked.

“Hear what?” Twilight said.

“That weird noise, how would I describe it…” The Doctor began, “It sounded like a gurgling scream, like, underwater,” He described.

“I didn’t hear anything, Doctor,” Cloud said, “Must have been the metal rain,” He continued.

“But I’m not hearing the droplets falling on the ship, are you two hearing it?” The Doctor asked, making the other two ponies slightly uneasy.

“No, I don’t hear the rain either…” Twilight said.

“Nobody hears the rain and only I hear that gurgle,” The Doctor simplified this situation.

“Do you think there’s something outside?” Cloud asked, “It rains white hot liquid metal all the time here, nothing could survive on the surface of Crux,” He said.

“Well, I know what I heard, and whatever made the sound, was either outside, dying in the rain,” The Doctor said, “Or it’s in here with us, and it sounds anything but friendly,” He added. A wave of silence drowned the room as the three ponies looked around, checking for anything that shouldn’t be in the ship. They remained silent as they walked around the ship, looking for any alien creatures. They eventually came to the conclusion that they were safe and whatever made the sound must’ve died outside, but why did only The Doctor hear the noise?

“Well, I suppose there’s nothing to worry about, night is coming any time soon, so I’ll go to bed,” Cloud said, The Doctor agreed and took Twilight with him to the TARDIS’ bedroom.

“So, what will we do about whatever else is on this planet?” Twilight questioned.

“I’m not sure, why did we even end up here?” The Doctor replied with another question. The Doctor went to the bedroom while Twilight locked and turned off the TARDIS for the night, but as she turned around to go to the bedroom, she saw a ghostly white silhouette that heavily resembled The Doctor. The figure merely stared at her with its cold black eyes before fading away, no words, no actions, it just disappeared.

The next morning, Twilight woke up to the sound of the TARDIS being turned on, which meant The Doctor woke up earlier. Twilight got up and headed to the console room and greeted The Doctor.

“Good morning, Doctor…”Twilight said.

“Is something wrong?” The Doctor asked.

“It’s something I saw last night,” Twilight said, “When I was going to the bedroom, I saw this ghost-thing that looked just like you, it was staring at me from across the console room,” She explained.

“Whatever it was, could it have something to do with our monster of the week?” The Doctor said, Twilight felt like he was pretending to not know about the ghost, but she wasn’t sure. The two of them left the TARDIS and walked to the cafeteria of the S.S. Bad Wolf, they saw that Lightning Cloud was already there.

“Good morning, Cloud, how are you doing in this fine day?” The Doctor greeted him.

“I’m pretty bad, I had a hard time sleeping, kept thinking ‘What if something is truly outside? What if it finds a way in?’,” He said, it was visible that he didn’t sleep, at least not as much as he should’ve. His condition only got worse when they all heard a knock at the bottom of the ship, moving from directly under them to underneath the corridor connecting the deck to the cafeteria.

“Twilight and Cloud, settle down and eat, I’ll check the cockpit of the ship,” The Doctor said. He walked over to the deck of the ship and looked out the window, the glass was slowly cracking from the rain of molten led, “Oh boy, this isn-” The Doctor was interrupted and jumped in horror as a terrifying sight popped up on the windshield, a black pony with bright red cracks on its skin, it seemed to be melting and its mouth and eyes were glowing yellow, it made the same gurgling sound The Doctor heard the previous day and it tried breaking the window to reach him.

“Doooooc… Doc… Tor…” The creature tried speaking, calling for The Doctor.

“Twilight! Cloud! Help!!!” The Doctor called out as he ran back to the cafeteria as fast as he could.

“What is it, why are you so scared?” Twilight asked.

“The monster attacked me, or rather, it broke the window to try and attack me,” The Doctor explained, “Did you not hear the ruckus?” He asked.

“We heard you freak out and run over here,” Cloud said.

“How curious, if I had to guess, I’d say these beings have some sort of quantum perception manipulation ability,” The Doctor said, but he only got mildly confused looks from his friends, “Translating from Nerd-nese, I just said ‘Those things can change how and when they’re seen’,” He explained.

“Would you mind elaborating on this conundrum?” Twilight jokingly asked.

“These creatures, whatever they are, can manipulate how they’re seen, they can change when they can be seen, they can change between who can see them,” The Doctor said, “That explains why only I heard it that time, but…” He cut himself off to think.

“If we couldn’t hear the rain from here…” Twilight continued the sentence.

“These things are already inside the ship,” Cloud finished it, “Oh god, I’m hearing one, it’s sounds like it’s right next to my ear, it’s make that disgusting gurgle noise you described, Doctor,” Cloud said, he was getting extremely worried, he ran out of the cafeteria and to the cockpit of the Bad Wolf.

“Cloud, what are you doing?” The Doctor asked.

“I’m gonna program this ship to fly into space and self-destruct, taking all of the monsters with us,” Cloud replied, not thinking clearly, he thought he would die anyway from the creatures, so why bother?

“Doctor, I can hear their sound, there are at least six right behind us,” Twilight said.

“I can hear them too,” Cloud replied.

“I can too, they must’ve made themselves visible and audible for everyone,” The Doctor said. They all turned around and saw the grotesque monsters walking slowly towards them, backing the trio into the cockpit so that they couldn’t escape.

“Doooc… Tooor…” One of them said.

“Yes, what do you want with me?” The Doctor asked.

“Clooooudss…” Another monster said

Cloud noticed something, “I don’t think they’re calling out for us, that one said ‘Clouds’, plural,” He said.

“If I’m getting the story straight, didn’t your crew leave the ship and apparently die?” The Doctor asked.

“Yeah, why?” Cloud asked back.

“I think I know how to find out what or who these monsters are, I just need to get to my ship, I’ll be right back,” The Doctor shoved the monsters aside, but they continued to march towards Twilight and Cloud, they could hear the TARDIS take off as the beasts got closer.

Crux, 9 Days Earlier

“These suits will resist the liquid metal for about thirty minutes, we have to move quickly,” The female captain of the Bad Wolf crew said to her team. The TARDIS materialized nearby, where The Doctor could see them, he followed the crew with his binoculars. He eventually saw the clouds become denser and darker, it rained even harder than before, the drops ripped through the crew’s suits and melted their flesh, they collapsed on the ground and seemingly died, until The Doctor saw them get back up, looking like the monster that attacked him and his friends.

“How? What?” The Doctor asked himself, he took the TARDIS back to the future to rescue his friends and tell them about this. The ship showed back up on the cockpit of the Bad Wolf, The Doctor opened the doors and used his sonic screwdriver to change the monsters into being invisible.

“What did you discover, Doctor?” Twilight asked.

“These monsters didn’t kill the crew, they are the crew,” The Doctor replied, “Cloud, are you still sure you want to explode them in this ship?” He asked.

Cloud remained silent, simply nodding and getting off of the controls of the ship to enter the TARDIS, leaving the Bad Wolf to explode in the middle of space while the TARDIS flew away and de-materialized.

***

The TARDIS appeared again on Earth, Cloud stepped off and said bye to The Doctor and Twilight, who then left to their next stop. The Doctor left Twilight at her library back in Ponyville.

“You know,” Twilight began, “I think I’ll give the space-time adventuring a break,” She said.

“Alright then…” The Doctor responded.

“Is there something wrong?” Twilight asked.

“No, I won’t guilt trip you into staying with me, you have friends and family you might wanna spend time with, I’m just a mad pony in a box,” The Doctor said.

“Okay, see you later,” Twilight said, waving at The Doctor as he went back into the TARDIS, Spike walked outside to see the blue box disappearing and greet Twilight.

Axylo Bar, the other side of the galaxy

“Sir, will you have anything or did you just come here to lay down?” A waitress robot mare asked The Doctor.

“Get me some iced tea then,” The Doctor replied, getting his head up from the table. The waitress then walked off with his order. A gray mare with a vortex manipulator then showed up and sat on the same table as The Doctor.

“So, Doctor, how have you been?” She said, The Doctor looked up and recognized the mare as Agent Chrome, the one who helped him when he fought the Knycobus at the New Year party at sea, “I had another mission designated to me, but I never promised I’d go alone,” She said.

“So?” The Doctor asked, “Do you want me to go with you?”

“Exactly, the mission is taking care of an invasion on the planet Hiskus, it’s colonized by Equestrians,” Chrome said.

“Okay, what are we fighting?” The Doctor asked.

“A little known army, you may have heard of them,” Chrome said, “They go by ‘Cybermen”

Question of the Day: How would a cartoon pony play a guitar?

I imagine this Doctor's guitar would look something like the Fender Performer, or as I prefer to call it "The guy who was making the strats got drunk and made his own thing"
Have a reference image. (i got this searching for the Performer, don't ask why it says Starcaster)

Next time: The Doctor and Chrome Green travel to the frozen planet Hiskus to fight off the Cybermen (We have a two parter on our hands, baby)

Series 1

Episode 7: The Cyber Incursion

My name is Chrome Green, I’m a special agent of the Centurion Alliance, I have lived for a very long time. One day, I met this nice-looking colt, called himself “The Doctor” and I traveled with him to an icy planet, Hiskus, to stop the Cybermen. This is the story of my last hours, this is the story of how I finally died…

In the snowy planet of Hiskus, a war was going on between the ponies and the Cybermen, killer cyborgs with the intent to assimilate anyone who gets in their way.

“This is captain Windy Blade requesting back-up, the Cybermen are charging towards the base, we must stop this wave!” A green mare in a winter coat yelled into a wrist communicator.

“Understood, Windy, we’re sending more soldiers to hold those metal monsters back, how is your squad doing?” A male voice replied through the communicator.

“Most of them were captured or killed,” Windy responded, she ran back in the direction of her base and hid in a shed, where she shot at the Cybermen out of a window. She heard an odd sound just outside of the shed and looked outside through another window. A blue police box had appeared outside, with the door turned to the wall.

“Oops, I parked wrong,” The Doctor said as he opened the doors, he walked back inside and fixed the TARDIS’ direction, he then walked outside again, followed by Chrome, “It’s really cold out here,” The Doctor remarked, he walked back into the TARDIS and put on a jacket and pants, Chrome did the same.

“Anything else before we continue on this mission? Did you leave the oven on?” Chrome joked.

“Nope, we’re good to go,” The Doctor said, but they hid back inside of the TARDIS as they saw lasers flying in their general direction. The Doctor looked through the TARDIS window and saw the Cybermen marching outside, “You were right, the Cybermen are attacking here,” He said.

Chrome simply hit her face with her hoof, “You claim people need to stop doubting you, but you’re constantly doubting everyone, a bit hypocritical if you ask me,” The gray mare said.

“My mistake, then,” He replied, “I think the coast is clear, let’s get in this shed beside the TARDIS,” The Doctor said. They rushed outside and into the shed, where they were met by a green mare with a rifle pointed at them.

“Are we invading anything?” Chrome asked.

“On which side are you? Equestrian or Cyberman?” Windy asked.

“We’re here to help stop this war, on what side does that put us?” The Doctor asked.

“On ours, captain Blade, pleasure to meet you, Doctor,” The green mare said.

“How do you know me?” He asked, confused.

“Those stories about you spread like wildfire, how you stood up against the Centurion Alliance when they bombed Ceotis 6, how you saved all of those ponies in that ship from the Knycobus, all that stuff,” Windy Blade explained.

“Fantastic, now a legion of intergalactic soldiers are constantly gonna be watching me,” The Doctor sighed, “Do I look like some sort of dark brooding vigilante doing his job against the law? I personally don’t think so, I don’t need your little fan club watching my every step to be sure I won’t go out of the line and end up dead on the spot because of some rule you didn’t tell me about,” He ranted.

“I never accused you of anything, the Alliance has been watching you for a long time and they’ve ignored all of your crimes towards the space-time continuum,” Blade said, “Don’t expect us to suddenly have a change of heart and start pulling your leg at every chance,” She continued.

“Good,” The Doctor said, quickly calming down, “So, what are we facing, better yet, where are they coming from?” He asked.

“This huge ship just showed up and the Cyberman just continue to come out of it,” Windy began, “They kidnap our soldiers to make more of theirs, but there physically can’t be enough of us for the millions of Cybermen that have showed up,” She explained.

“They must have a stock full of other prisoners and lifeforms that they stuff into those husks,” The Doctor said, “Do we have any plans to defeat them?”

“We have many plans, but they’re back at the base, where that wave of Cybermen was headed,” Windy said.

“Then what are we waiting for, a formal invitation?” The Doctor said, “You two have blasters, so go ahead, I’ll follow,” He added.

“Did you bang your head on the way out of the TARDIS? We’re dealing with Cybermen, these shots just slow them down,” Chrome said.

“When did I necessarily say we had to go through this trench? We can climb out and go around them,” The Doctor said, but that just made him sound crazier. Despite that, Windy and Chrome agreed and they headed outside, they climbed over the hills at the sides of the trench and traversed past the Cybermen, they made it to the Alliance’s base and entered the large building.

“Agent Chrome and captain Blade, just in time, the Cybermen are almost here,” An older stallion said.

“We know, what will we do about about this wave?” Windy asked.

“Fight them off, of course,” The old stallion said, “By the way, hello Doctor, great to finally meet you,” He greeted.

“Hello, mister, nice to meet you too,” The Doctor replied.

“The name’s Silver Bullet, I’m the general of the Alliance bases set up in this planet,” He introduced himself, “We can talk later, Doctor, all units, set yourselves up at Gate A, the Cybermen are coming,” Silver said into the intercom.

The armored ponies set themselves up at the entrance to the base, armed with rifles and rocket launchers. The Cybermen arrived and the ponies at the entrance began to fire at them, denting their armor and blowing them away, the snow that got into the metal making the Cybermen stop functioning.

“Send them flying into the snow and let natural effects do the rest, quite effective,” The Doctor said, “But those things keep on coming, we can’t do anything about that,” He mentioned.

“We know, but there’s no way to get rid of all the Cybermen at once,” Silver Bullet said.

“Maybe something in their ship can do it, like a switch or plug that turns them all off,” The Doctor wondered.

“General, incoming video message, it’s from the Cybermen ship,” A pony at a computer said.

“Put it up on the monitor,” Silver requested.

The video message began, it showed a Cyberman standing alone in a room, it then began to talk, “Attention inferior organic lifeforms,” It started, “The Cyberman army means no harm to this world, we are trying to colonize it, but you are in the way,” The robot continued, “Your troops have three options, remove yourselves from the surface of Hiskus, be assimilated into our army or be deleted,” It finished, the video then closed on its own and a box appeared saying ‘Tracker planted’.

“The message was a virus! All of the Cybermen here now know where we are and they’ll be coming to get us,” Chrome started to panic.

“My soldiers have defeated countless waves of these infernal machines,” Silver said, “This time, it just happens that they’re sending all of the waves at once,” he added, failing to comfort the gray mare.

Chrome looked at The Doctor and asked, “What do you say, Doctor, ready for the fight of your life?”

“No, I’m not,” He replied.

“Why not? You’ve defeated these things before, you should know a thing or two,” Windy asked.

“It’s time for a story, the Tale of a Mad Pony in His Magical Blue Box,” The Doctor sat down and began, “A long time ago, hundreds of years in fact, was a planet known as Gallifrey, located in the constellation of Kasterborous, was a young boy, who won’t be named, he grew up normally in the Time Lord city, until he was taken for a ceremony to look into the time vortex,” He continued, “Everyone had a different reaction to this, some made it, some ran and some went insane…” The Doctor told his story, “The boy was one of those who ran, he grew up running from his fate, until he was very old and he stole a TT Capsule with his granddaughter, they traveled to a distant world called ‘Earth’ where they thought they’d be safe,” The Doctor continued with the tale, “But many evil beasts wanted to catch that man, from mutants in miniature tanks, to alien cyborgs, to his own kind, but not matter how much he suffered, he made it through everything the universe threw at him, he lost many friends, he changed a lot, but he made it through” He kept on telling the story, “Many years later, he returned to his planet, to put an end to the great war that started it all, he destroyed his planet with an ancient artifact, The Moment, and he ran for safety, he changed one last time and crashed his ship in the backyard of a little purple unicorn,” He finished.

“And then what?” Chrome asked.

“After destroying his own kind, he strayed from winning with violence, he preferred words over guns, wits over swords,” The Doctor said.

“And that boy was you, wasn’t it?” Silver Bullet asked.

“Sounds like something you’d do, lecture people with your life’s story to get everyone to put down their guns,” Chrome became enraged, “You lost a bunch of friends in your centuries of life? Try losing friends and family and everything in thousands of years, your species can die and regenerate, but whatever freak I am can’t die, period,” Chrome ranted.

“Chrome, I had no idea, I…” The Doctor was interrupted.

“I am immortal, I avoid getting too attached to people because I know I’ll outlive them, and once they’re gone, I can’t just hop into a time machine and get them back, because I would destroy the time stream, and even then, I’d still be alive…” Chrome slowly broke down into tears, “You pretend to care about other people and planets, but do you really? Or do you just keep mourning your planet and your people and hide it behind a smile and some ‘I understand’ garbage?” She ranted.

“Hear me out,” The Doctor said, Chrome went silent for a moment, “If you had told me earlier that you’re immortal, I wouldn’t have bothered with my long, stupid story, I would’ve understood that you went through a worse life and kept my yap shut,” The Doctor explained.

“I ask again, do you really understand other people’s problems or are you just projecting how you felt about the Time Lords’ demise at your own hooves?” Chrome raged once more, “If you’re too much of a wuss to pick up a weapon and protect those you claim to care about, I’ll go end the Cybermen on my own,” She said, walking to a weapons cabinet and getting a futuristic-looking shotgun.

“Chrome, that gun only has six shots left, we didn’t restock on ammo yet!” Silver tried to stop her, but Chrome did not listen, she picked up the gun and trotted outside, towards the Cybermen’s base of operations. The Doctor followed her, trying to get her attention.

“Just go the heck away!” She yelled.

The both of them stopped and stared at each other, The Doctor then spoke, “Fine, but don’t come crawling back when you end up captured and possibly killed,” He taunted.

They went back to their own ways, Chrome waited for a moment to see if The Doctor was gone, she then continued back towards the Cyberman ship and he went back to the Alliance base. Many minutes passed while The Doctor waited in the base, after a long time, they received another video message.

“We, the Cybermen, have one of your agents, organic lifeforms,” The Cyberman in the video said, another one walked in pulling Chrome’s hair, “If one of you cannot reach our base in T minus twenty hours, she shall be assimilated,” It said before the video stopped.

The Doctor was silent, but fuming with anger, despite her outrage, Chrome was still his friend. He got so angry that he punched the large monitor the video was showed on.

“Doctor, what was that for?!” Silver Bullet asked.

“They have my friend and I won’t forgive them if she dies or gets turned into one of them,” He said, “Tonight the Cyberman are coming for us, and I’m going to get Chrome back, tonight, a good man goes to war,” The Doctor said.

Author's Note

Did you enjoy that block of text summarizing The Doctor's story? Because I surely didn't

I tried to do the same thing Rose did at the start of the series 2 finale, Army of Ghosts, where she spoils that she legally dies in her own universe (Sorry for them spoilers). I think it'd work because you still need to read to know how she died, but I doubt it does work.

I have no clue why I kept them as "Cybermen" even though it makes no sense for this universe, I'm just kinda stupid.

Next Time: The Doctor rushes to the Cybermen ship to rescue Chrome before it's too late, and, hopefully, defeat the Cybermen once and for all.

Episode 8: End of the Cybermen

The troops at the Centurion Alliance base in Hiskus were preparing for the battle with the Cybermen, ships came flying in with ammunition, soldiers were getting their guns and the cold planet’s sun was setting.

“Alright, we will go through the battle plan again, really quick,” The Doctor began, “Thirteen soldiers per gate keeping the Cybermen busy while I run to their ship and try to rescue Chrome in time,” He said.

“All soldiers, to your positions!” Silver Bullet ordered, all of the armored ponies rushed to Gates A, B, C and D and The Doctor stayed there, with a small radio and the intercom microphone both on a table, “What are you doing, Doctor?” Silver asked.

“I thought the troops would want some music to get them motivated,” The Doctor said.

The Cybermen arrived at the base, and a song started playing on the radio.

The music ran through the intercom and everyone outside could hear it, there were laser beams, rockets and Cybermen flying around the snow, Windy was nearly cornered by one of them but a point blank shot to the chest took it down immediately.

Silver Bullet got a golden blaster and walked outside, gunning down Cybermen around himself along with the other soldiers. One of the soldiers fired a rocket and hit a Cyberman dead on, taking two around it as well.

While the battle raged on, The Doctor was running to the Cyberman ship, which was a kilometer away from the Alliance’s base. He ran and ran, The Doctor eventually reached the ship and there were few to no Cybermen in it.

“I guess most of them are at the base, fighting,” The Doctor said, but he heard an odd electric buzzing sound upstairs. He climbed up and found the conversion floor of the ship, with a single Cyberman laying on one of the operating tables.

“Doc… Tor…” The Cyberman said.

“What is it that you want with me?” The Doctor asked.

“Is… It you… Doctor?” The Cyberman called again.

“Yes, but what do-” The Doctor look at the floor and saw dried blood and light gray/white hair. The same color as Chrome Green’s mane.

“Doctor…” The Cyberman continuously called for him, but The Doctor remained silent, “What happened?” It asked.

“What happened?” The Doctor said, “I was too late…”

“Are you here to help me?” The Cyberman asked.

“I don’t like saying this, no matter what, but,” The Doctor said, “I can’t help you, Chrome,” He added. He refrained from crying, instead staring at the converted Chrome before walking away, as his trip there was pointless.

“I am… Scared…” Chrome said.

“What?” The Doctor turned back and asked, trotting back over to Chrome.

“I am cold… and scared… Doctor,” Chrome said.

“Nonsense, Cybermen aren’t supposed to feel anything, emotions, cold, heat, pain, nothing,” The Doctor said, he scanned Cyber-Chrome and found something mildly surprising, “Everything in here is connected, that means that you can control yourself and feel, unlike the normal Cybermen,”

“How… How could I be of use?” Chrome asked.

The Doctor used a green slime on the floor to paint Cyber-Chrome’s face and body, making her stand out, “You’re gonna go out there and help the Centurion Alliance, like you always have,” He confidently said, he then pulled the charger cords from Chrome and got her on her feet again.

“Affirmative, Doctor,” Chrome marched outside, picking up her pace and running towards the battlefield, shooting the enemy Cybermen she saw. Back at the base, soldiers saw Cyber-Chrome approaching quickly, thinking it was a more advanced Cyberman, they took aim.

“Don’t shoot that one!” Windy said, she placed her binoculars up the a soldier’s eyes and they saw that Cyber-Chrome had green paint saying ‘B Wolf’ on her side, “Bad Wolf, that one is on our side, surely The Doctor painted that,” Blade observed. Her suspicion was proved correct when the green-painted Cyberman began to shoot its brethren, destroying them all on the spot. Back at the Cybermen’s ship, The Doctor was found out and taken into a prison cell.

“When my friend can get back here, you will regret this!” The Doctor said.

“Resorting to meaningless threats, are we, Doctor?” A different looking Cyberman said, its face plate and other parts of its armor were a shiny black instead of silver and a blue light emanated from its head, where a mane would be on a normal pony.

“I presume you’re the Cyber-Commander or whatever titles you give each other currently,” The Doctor said.

“Your assumption is correct,” The Cyber-Commander replied, “I presume you freed your friend, ‘Chrome Green’, or, Unit 214,” It continued.

“I Thought your shtick was that only your leaders were unique in any way, but you’re telling each other apart by numbers?” The Doctor questioned, “Each one having a number is pretty unique to me,” He added, taunting the Commander.

The Cyber-Commander stayed silent for a second and spoke up, “You shall remain silenced, or your time to become a Cyberman will come sooner, Doctor,” It said.

“So you plan on turning me into one of you? Good luck, first fatal incision, I regenerate and mess up your process until I can’t do it anymore,” The Doctor said.

“Repeating, remain silenced or you shall be assimilated sooner,” The Cyber-Commander said.

“Why do you bother with all of this? What lifeless hack would want to see a dull world ruled by killer cyborgs?” The Doctor began, “I know of the phrase ‘some men just want to watch the world burn’, but this isn’t burning it, this is worse, it’s taking away part of what makes the universe into what it is,” He said, “The universe is like an unorganized bookshelf, one moment you’re in a world of fantasy and wonder, the next, you could be facing monstrous Daleks, or the Slitheen, and the next you could be going deep underground to fend off a creature feared by all, the Devil himself,” He continued.

“What is your point?” The Cyber-Commander asked.

“My point is that anyone who tries to take over the universe, for better or worse, has to see what it has to offer, they must have a taste of everything and think ‘Do I truly want to change what God or some other force put in place for all to see or explore?’ and only after you think long and hard about this should you make your move,” The Doctor finished his speech, “But who am I to say anything, I never tried taking over the universe, I’m just some crazy colt in a box…”

“Indeed you are, Doctor,” The Cyber-Commander said.

“But just because I never tried taking the universe for myself, doesn’t mean I don’t have the right to care for it and keep it safe and sound from things like you, Cybermen, the ne’er-do-wells that inhabit the dark corners of the galaxy, who spend their lives waiting for a good day to destroy another innocent civilization because you have a big army and you’re a self-entitled prick,” The Doctor ranted on.

“Cease your insults at once or you shall be deleted,” A regular Cyberman beside the Commander said.

“Why should I? Did I hurt your bossy wossy’s feewings, eh?” The Doctor refused to stop taunting them.

“Commander, permission to delete The Doctor?” The Cyberman asked.

“Granted,” The Cyber-Commander responded.

“Like I said, torture and ‘delete’ me all you want, I have plenty of regenerations to go, how long do you have until your army is whittled down to just the few that are on this ship? Sure, you can make more, but they have one of you on their side, and she is wrecking the shop like there’s no tomorrow,” The Doctor switched on a monitor with his sonic screwdriver and it showed the point of view of Cyber-Chrome, destroying the army of Cybermen.

The Cyber-Commander and his minions remained silent at that point, unable to argue with The Doctor.

“Backed you guys into a corner, didn’t I? You keep fighting, you’ll lose at some point, if you give up, the universe will look at you and laugh at the army that thought they were so important but couldn’t even defeat a few dozen horseys,” The Doctor taunted them.

“Release the Doctor…” The Cyber-Commander ordered.

“…Affirmative, Commander,” The regular Cyberman obliged, it opened the gate to his cell and The Doctor left, heading to the captain’s quarters at the top of the ship.

Meanwhile, at the Alliance’s base, the ponies and Cyber-Chrome were winning the fight, destroyed Cybermen lined the battlefield and many others tried retreating, the soldiers and Silver celebrated their victory.

“We did it!” Windy yelled out, “The sun’ll rise any minute now,” She added.

“We must thank you, Bad Wolf, for helping us be victorious,” Silver Bullet thanked Cyber-Chrome.

“Do not thank me, thank The Doctor,” She said in her monotone voice, “He found me in the base, it was too late, but he convinced me to fight on your side,” Chrome said.

“Wait…”

“Chrome? Is that you in this Cyberman armor?” Silver said.

“Chrome Green is dead, but I shall live on for her,” Cyber-Chrome replied, “Now I must go, The Doctor may need me,” She said, Chrome, or ‘Bad Wolf’, then ran off to the Cyberman ship as the sun slowly rose up in the horizon.

At the captain’s quarters, The Doctor found an office or study-like room, ‘A Cyberman wouldn’t use a formal little office, I imagined a metallic throne of evil of something like that’ The Doctor thought. He flipped a panel on the desk and a small red switch appeared.

“So this is the self-destruct or on and off button for the Cybermen…” He hesitated to flick it to ‘OFF’, and the reason quickly showed up in front of him, Chrome.

“You found the switch, did you not?” Cyber-Chrome asked.

“Yes, but I don’t know if I should turn it off, you’re my friend, I wouldn’t want to kill you like this…” The Doctor said.

“Do you think I wanted to live forever? If it was up to me, I would have died long ago,” Chrome tried convincing The Doctor to do it.

“I won’t, you could protect this planet,” The Doctor said, slowly letting out the tears he held back before, “If you’re gonna die some day, the last thing I want is to be the one responsible for it,” He said.

“Just press the switch, I will be happier this way,” Chrome continued to convince him, “You will lose me, but the Cybermen will all be gone,” She claimed.

“Are you sure this is what you want? To die because your crazy friend pressed a switch?” The Doctor said, sobbing.

“Yes, just do it,” Chrome replied.

“What if there are things you did not do and never will do? Won’t you regret this decision?” The Doctor was breaking down into tears by this point, he insisted on keeping Chrome alive. But he gave in, he pressed it and every Cyberman on Hiskus was turned off, permanently.

“Thank you, Doctor…” Chrome said, “I… Am… Free…” She said as her armor fell on the ground, lifeless. The voice of the Cyber-Commander played in the speakers of the ship.

“You won the battle, Doctor,” It said, “But at what cost?”

“Exactly… At what cost?” The Doctor asked himself. He left the ship and returned to the base to say his goodbyes and leave this frozen planet once and for all. The Doctor entered the TARDIS and laid his head on the console, devastated due to everything that had happened, “Don’t think I don’t see you there… Just go away, why won’t you?” The Doctor said to a ghostly white version of himself that was staring at him from the corner of the room, “After all, isn’t running all you’re really good at doing, Doctor?” He taunted the figure, who then disappeared into the air as the TARDIS took off to Ponyville.

Author's Note

Welp, that was a load of beans, wasn't it? Can someone get a restraining order between emotional scenes and me, in case I ever try writing stuff like this again?

How about that """big reveal""" that the ghost was The Doctor? It's bad and does not help this awful chapter in the slightest, what am I honestly doing with my life.

Next Time: Twilight and The Doctor reunite and travel so Sayro, a city filled with thieves and criminals, where they must work with a Silurian to find out who in the city is the one that will steal a nuclear bomb hidden in District 24.
(Do not expect to see any bombs, explosions or districts numbered "24", what did you think I'd do, be a competent writer?)

Episode 9: Heist on the 24th District

Two months had passed after Twilight left The Doctor, she was at Sugar Cube Corner, eating a piece of cake, she ate, paid for her food and left, as she turned to head home, she saw the blue police call box near the door to the cafe, she went towards it and opened the door, inside was The Doctor having some coffee.

“Hi Doctor, how have you been?” Twilight asked.

“Fine, depending on how you’d define that word,” He replied, “I went to a planet of ice and snow to fight some old enemies, but lost a good friend in the process…” The Doctor said.

“That’s really sad, I’m sorry for the loss,” Twilight said.

“Anyways, it must’ve been a while since the last time we met, do you want to travel with me again?” The Doctor asked.

“Well, why not? Nothing really going on in my life, where do you plan on going?” Twilight replied with another question.

“We’re headed to the Kastrol system, the thieves’ den, the underworld of the galaxy,” The Doctor said, “And we’re gonna find out who there is the one who took the nuclear bomb that was safe in District Twenty Four,” He added, raising up a newspaper with the headline ‘District 24’s Nuclear Explosive Stolen’.

“Should you really be taking me of all people? I have no experience with bombs, especially not of the nuclear kind,” Twilight tried to talk her way out of this adventure, “What if I have to defuse it and cut the wrong wire? Will an entire planet explode?” The extremely worried purple unicorn asked.

“I’m pretty sure we won’t have to defuse anything, just retrieve the bomb, if all fails, we can go back in time with the TARDIS and try again,” The Doctor assured her, he then got up and took off to their destination. Arriving at their desired planet, The Doctor headed into the TARDIS and came back with torn clothes and brown and black make-up.

“What’s this stuff for?” Twilight.

“To make us fit in, if everyone on this place thinks we’re cops, how are we gonna get anything?” The Doctor explained, “Just put these things on in the closet back there, I’ll wait,” He added. Twilight went into the closet with her desired items and left it looking rather grungy, just according to The Doctor’s plan, then he went into the closet and came out with the same general look.

“This is a very bad idea and you know,” Twilight said, “What if they can tell we’re not thieves some other way?” She asked.

“Just put on your best Australian accent, I’ve been here before and everyone seems to talk like that,” The Doctor said, laughing a bit. The duo then stepped outside and were immediately greeted with the sight of a lizard-like mare shooting someone in the face, The Doctor remained silent and calm while Twilight tried doing the same.

The Doctor gestured for Twilight to try and get information from the reptilian pony, she walked over to the mare and began talking, “Ey, mate, what do ya know ‘bout this place?” Twilight said, only getting a confused look as a response.

“Stop making a fool of yourself or I won’t hesitate to gun you down too,” The reptile pony said. The Doctor walked up to talk to Twilight.

“Twily, try not to get in a fight with her, she’s a Silurian,” The Doctor said. The Silurian put on a pair of sunglasses, taking them off a moment after.

“Sorry, Doctor, I didn’t mean to get her mad at me,” Twilight replied.

“So you’re The Doctor, eh?” The Silurian said, “Before we talk, we need to hide where the criminals can’t see us,” She added. The three of them walked into an alley to have their talk.

“Who are you and what do you want?” Twilight asked, scared for her life.

“I’m Zyla, an agent of the Centurion Alliance,” She introduced herself, “I assume you two are also here to find the robber who took the bomb,” Zyla asked.

“I really don’t want to work with someone of this alliance, not after what happened on Hiskus and Ceotis,” The Doctor said.

“Yes, we know of Agent Chrome’s death, she shall be missed…” Zyla responded.

“Wait, Chrome died?” Twilight asked.

“Yep, got turned into a Cyberman and turned off with all of them,” The Doctor explained, remembering Chrome’s final words before she fell on the floor, dead.

“We’re not here to mourn her death, we need to investigate the city and find our culprit before he or she heads to District Twenty Four,” Zyla said, taking Twilight and The Doctor further into the alley. They entered a building and went to the basement to see a huge monitor with a map of the city on it, the map had several red dots moving around on it.

“Have you been tracking everyone in the city?” The Doctor asked?

“I infested the water with nanobots without anyone knowing, now I track the groups of robots to know where everyone is,” Zyla explained.

“What type of activity are we tracking?” The Doctor asked.

“Anyone entering the local hangar and staying there for a long amount of time,” Zyla replied. A few minutes passed before The Doctor was tired of waiting.

“I cannot stand being still, waiting for so long,” He said.

“It’s been eleven minutes,” Twilight replied.

“If you don’t like being still, go out and steal a new coat, or scarf, or stetson, I don’t care, just don’t sit around being obnoxious!” Zyla yelled.

“I’m sorry,” The Doctor said, “I guess I’ll be right back, with some new accessory or something,” He added, walking into the elevator and out of the building.

A few more minutes passed, Twilight and Zyla were starting to get both worried and bored, then a red dot moved quickly towards the hangar of the city.

“That’s our thief, we have to find the Doctor and chase him down!” Zyla said, the two ponies in the building rushed outside, made it to the main street and saw a band of thieves carrying the TARDIS.

“Hey!” Twilight got their attention, “You can’t just take that ship, it’s ours!”

“A ship? Explains why it’s so heavy,” A bulky three-eyed stallion said, “I can tell you’re new to Sayro, this place is called ‘The City of Thieves’ for a good reason, missy,” He added.

“That ship belongs to a man known as The Doctor, and if you’d rather not face the wrath of a Time Lord, or worse, a Silurian, you’ll put that thing down immediately,” Zyla said.

‘Zyla, whatever you do, don’t show them your badge!’ Twilight screamed in her own head.

“I am Captain Zyla Straz, of the Centurion Alliance, if you don’t want to be incarcerated for life, you will return that protected ship to where you found it!” She yelled, getting the attention of every shady-looking person on the street. The thieves obeyed, but did not take well to figuring out they were dealing with a cop.

“Everyone, get the police-lizard-lady!” One of the thieves walking around said, starting a rally and massive fight in the street. On the outer end of the rally, The Doctor was running out of a clothing shop with a large colorful scarf, sunglasses and a cowboy hat and he noticed the TARDIS was in the middle of the fight, so he got his sonic screwdriver out to call it, but a brown mare with a mechanical leg ran by and grabbed the screwdriver, taking it with her.

“Hey, give that dang thing back!” The Doctor said, running after the mare. He followed her into an alley, where a gang of other cyborg ponies walked out of the shadows to attack The Doctor, “Give that sonic screwdriver back, why won’t you?” He asked.

“Whatever this weapon is or does, I’ll be glad to test it on you!” The mare who took the screwdriver said, pointing the tool at The Doctor. She activated it and the TARDIS materialized around The Doctor, as he smirked at the mare. The Doctor then opened the doors and slapped the sonic out of the mare’s hoof, picking it up from the ground.

“Thank you very much, but I gotta go,” The Doctor said. Back in the middle of the fight, there were significantly less thieves and criminals, most of them were unconscious on the ground, Twilight looked up and saw a space shuttle flying away from the planet.

“Zyla, the thief is getting away!” Twilight said.

“I know, that’s why I’m counting on The Doctor, he’s the one with the time machine, after all,” Zyla replied. Sure enough, the TARDIS reappeared around them and The Doctor immediately took off to the city’s hangar, before the culprit escaped.

They arrived and rushed inside, following a cloaked figure, who was presumably their target, as it ran towards a shuttle in the hangar.

“Stop! In the name of the Centurion Alliance, you are under arrest!” Zyla shouted.

“You cannot arrest us,” The figure replied.

“Well, technically speaking, he’s right, you’re judging him based on something that didn’t happen yet,” Twilight said and The Doctor agreed with her.

“But we know that whatever this guy is, it’s going to steal the bomb, we have to follow it to be sure we’re getting the right criminal,” Zyla said, a thought then hit The Doctor.

“Did that thing just say ‘us’?” He said. The figure ran into the shuttle and The Doctor followed, dropping his sonic screwdriver and cowboy hat on the ground, Twilight picked up both of them and headed into the TARDIS with Zyla.

“The stories were right, it is bigger on the inside,” Zyla remarked.

“I said the same when I got in for the first time,” Twilight responded, “Anyways, we have a shuttle to follow,” She said.

“Do you have any clue on how to fly this ship?” Zyla asked, Twilight simply stared at her, as if to say ‘Of course not, but I will try’. In the shuttle, The Doctor confronted the hooded figure, questioning it as it tried to pilot the stolen ship.

“What are you and what do you want with the bomb in District Twenty Four?” The Doctor asked, “How do you even know there’s anything there?” he added.

“My purposes are not of your business,” The figure replied.

“They very much are, by taking that bomb from there, you’re endangering the many lives of the planet it’s hidden on, possibly the entire district,” The Doctor said, getting angrier by the minute.

“I repeat, you have no business with us,” The figure said.

“Again with the ‘us’, I can repeat what I said too,” The Doctor was starting to shout at his foe, “What in the hell are you?!” He asked. The figure got up from the seat and menacingly walked up the The Doctor, forcing him to back up.

“We are The Hive,” The figure said, pulling back its cloak to reveal that its body was made up of several cockroach-like insects, which made The Doctor wince in disgust, a few bugs flew in his direction but he escaped into the ship’s cargo hold, which had no gravity and a large door that would lead into space.

‘What to do if you’re trapped in space with a pony made of cockroaches?’ The Doctor thought and thought of different ways to escape, he then had an idea, he moved as fast as possible to the engine room at the other side of the cargo hold, he opened the door and found what he wanted, a button to open the cargo doors.

“What do you intend on doing, Doctor?” The Hive asked as it entered the cargo hold, some of its bugs escaping into the air around it.

“Not much, I just hope you have a good time in the empty void of space!” The Doctor said, closing the door and opening the cargo hold, The Hive immediately flew out into the stars, without saying anything else, “Have a nice trip, Hive,” He said afterwards.

The TARDIS materialized near The Doctor, in the engine room and he stepped inside to greet Twilight and Zyla, but he was greeted by someone else.

“Greetings again, Doctor,” The Hive said as The Doctor entered his ship.

“What?” The Doctor asked, “But I just sent you flying into space!”

“We are a colony, not a singular entity, we may separate into various others indefinitely, as long as we have units,” The Hive explained, “We merely divided in two before the one you murdered entered the hangar,” It added.

“Great, another one to get rid of,” The Doctor grunted, he tried punching The Hive, but his hoof went right through it and the bugs crawled up his arm, he reacted with fear, attempting to shake the many insects off of himself.

“We may also create more units by killing others and turning their cells and organs into more bugs,” The Hive said, making The Doctor even more afraid of the bugs crawling on him. The Doctor rushed to the TARDIS’ console and took off, “Where are you headed? Planning on pushing us into the cold emptiness of space yet again?” The Hive asked.

“Nope, I’m going back to before this mess started,” The Doctor replied. The TARDIS appeared next to the second Hive in the past, when it was hiding around the corner to the entrance of the hangar, The Doctor pushed The Hive into itself, “Oops, you touched your past self, guess you have to face the Reapers now,” The Doctor said, closing the TARDIS behind him. H e heard a roar outside as his vision turned white and he returned to when he was waiting at the engine room, the TARDIS appeared, like before, but Twilight and Zyla were inside.

“Doctor, what happened? We remember you running into the shuttle, we walked back to the TARDIS and then my vision went all white and now we made it to you with the TARDIS,” Zyla said.

“I fought a pony made of bugs, caused a paradox with his clone and now here we are,” The Doctor summarized the past events.

“You deliberately caused a paradox to defeat that thief? How has the universe not shattered yet?!” Zyla asked.

“Because if he actually stole the bomb, he wouldn’t have done anything with it, someone was destined to stop him and put the thing back, I just made the process faster,” The Doctor said.

“Does not matter, you caused a change in the timeline, you’re lucky that I’m in a good mood, otherwise, I would not spare you,” Zyla replied, “I’d make all of your remaining regenerations go by with my gun alone,” She threatened, Zyla then got warped back to her base and left The Doctor and Twilight alone.

“Let’s hope we don’t see that drag on ever again,” The Doctor joked, Twilight giggled in response.

“But, seriously,” Twilight began, “What did she mean with ‘I would make your remaining regenerations go by’?” She asked.

“It’s time I explained the Time Lord Cycle, as I call it,” The Doctor started, “When a Time Lord, like me, is severely injured, they can regenerate, change themselves into a new body and live on,” He explained, “They can do this up to twelve times before they finally die, this Doctor you know and love is my ninth form, I have a few more regenerations before I am properly mortal,” He finished.

“So you could die at any moment, but you’d come back?” Twilight asked.

“Yeah, basically, but I’d have a new appearance and maybe personality,” The Doctor said, “Anyways, we have other places to go and explore, other enemies to fight off, where to, Twily?” The Doctor asked.

“Well, I’ve always wanted to meet-” She was cut off by an incoming call, The Doctor turned it on and a gray mare in a dark street was calling for back-up.

“It can’t be…” The Doctor said.

“You said she died,” Twilight gasped.

“Chrome Green?” The Doctor asked as the mare’s message stopped and the monitor turned itself off.

The enemy here may have been inspired by the snake guy from the start of Series 9, except with cockroaches.

On this episode of "Llama is a Terrible Writer": 'How were Twilight and Zyla not on the TARDIS when The Doctor opened the door?'
I don't know, who honestly cares, this story is bad anyway.

Episode 10

Doctor Whooves: Savior of the Universe
Series 1

Episode 10: Children of Darkness

The TARDIS landed in 19th century Fillydelphia, Twilight and The Doctor stepped outside and met up with the young mare who sent the distress message.

“We came as fast as we could!” Twilight said.

“So it is you,” The Doctor said, “Chrome Green,” He added.

“It’s so good to see you, hubby, glad you could help me,” Chrome said. The Doctor was very confused.

“What, ‘hubby’?” He asked.

“Yeah, how did you forget we were married?” Chrome said, The Doctor and Twilight stared at her and at each other in utter confusion, “Anyways, we need to focus on this mission,” She said, but The Doctor could not focus, many questions were running through his head, such as ‘How is she alive?’, ‘Hubby?’, ‘Why did she call us here’, ‘Did I forget something in the oven?’ and many more.

Twilight was the first to break the silence with a question that she was thinking about the moment she saw the message, “How are you still alive, Chrome?” She asked.

“Still alive? I never died, silly,” Chrome replied, “It’s not like I can die, you must’ve have seen some clone or disguised monster die and thought it was the real me,” She continued. Twilight was pulled back by The Doctor.

“What are you doing, Twi?” The Doctor asked.

“I was just curious,” Twilight replied.

“You can’t go around telling people about their future, if I got a bit for every time I was forced to fix timelines when I told a famous person about a disaster in their future that they resolved on their own, I would be laying back with my riches, enjoying my seemingly eternal life,” The Doctor explained.

“Okay, sorry, Doc,” Twilight replied.

“I apologize in part of my mildly nosy friend, you’re right, it must’ve been a Zygon or something of the sort,” The Doctor said to Chrome, Twilight wanted to speak up and say he was lying, but decided to stay quiet, “Anyways, what’s our enemy of the day?”

“I know little to nothing about them, but they’re a cult and they call themselves ‘The Children of Darkness’,” Chrome explained, “Must be just a bunch of teens going through that phase and causing trouble,” She joked.

“Sounds good enough to me, a new foe to me is always a treat,” The Doctor said.

“These ponies might be dangerous, extremely so,” Chrome said, “Have you ever seen a cult giving out lollipops and ice cream and generally being nice?” She added.

“Fair enough,” Twilight replied.

“Do you have a plan to take them out?” The Doctor asked.

“I have yet to see one of them, do you think I know what they’re capable of?” Chrome said

“Did you just say you’ve never seen one of them?” Twilight asked.

“Yes, why?” Chrome responded.

“Because your big chance is coming right for us!” Twilight screamed as a figure, cloaked in a black hood and a layer of fog, approached the group. Chrome got her blaster out and shot at the figure, presumably a Child of Darkness, but the fog dissolved the shots into harmless particles.

“Maybe their fog is made by some form of generator, I’ll try to turn it off with my sonic screwdriver,” The Doctor said, grabbing his screwdriver and pointing it at the figure, but he ended up turning off a street lamp behind it, “Welp, now our best bet is running for our lives!” The Doctor yelled, the trio then ran the opposite direction to escape the cloaked figure.

“We can sense your sorrow, we shall track you down, no matter the cost,” The figure whispered.

“We? Please don’t tell me that these ‘Children of Darkness’ aren’t just more walking cockroach piles, because those things were disturbing to say the least,” The Doctor said.

“And to say the most?” Chrome asked.

“They were absolutely disgusting and I hated dealing with them,” He replied.

“Well, I think he was talking about the rest of the cult, not in the sense of ‘We are legion for we are many’,” Twilight said, The Doctor was mildly surprised at her knowledge of that type of mythology and creatures, but preferred not to ask any questions.

“Well, we won’t find out more about these people if we sit around in an alleyway,” The Doctor said, getting up for the ground, “Maybe we could follow that guy and see where their hideout is,” He suggested.

“Sounds, like a bad idea, what if they can control that fog? It destroyed a laser shot, imagine what it’d do to living flesh,” Chrome said.

“You know what else sounds like a bad idea? Sitting here and letting them go through with whatever evil plot they have,” The Doctor replied, Chrome was convinced to follow The Doctor’s idea, she was immortal after all, she would most likely survive the Children’s corrosive mist. The trio got out of hiding and sneaked around, following the hooded figure, The Doctor and Twilight being careful not to touch the fog.

They followed the Child of Darkness into an abandoned building, where they assumed the rest of the cult and their leader would be. They entered and followed the cloaked pony upstairs, not getting its attention. They all made it to the top floor and nobody was up there, only the Child they followed.

“Why would you bring us here on yo-” The Doctor thought out loud, but he figured it out soon after, “Run back, it’s a trap!” He yelled, but it was too late to run, a type of invisible barrier had been put in front of the stairwell’s entrance.

“Brethren, destroy the intruders, show them the fate of anyone who dares enter the territory of the Children of Darkness,” The cloaked figure they followed said, other Children stepped out of the shadows and began expelling the corrosive gas out of their mouths.

“Chrome, do you happen to have anything to get us out of this mess?!” Twilight asked.

“I think I have just the thing,” Chrome said, she pulled a gun-like tool from her belt

“You’re gonna try to shoot them again?” The Doctor sarcastically asked.

“No, it’s a sonic blaster, it can delete blocks of matter,” Chrome explained, Twilight turned back in fear, the fog was closing in on them, it burned part of Twilight’s tail off before Chrome shot at the floor and they fell down to a bedroom below.

“Does this look like the time and place to be dropping from the ceiling with your sorcery?” An old stallion said, the fog was making it through the hole in the ceiling Chrome closed it back and the trio ran away. The mist that followed them got to the old stallion, melting his flesh, hair and bones away and leaving no traces he was ever there. The trio ran out of the building, other cultists appeared from the alleys, spewing their mist onto the cobblestone streets, still trying to kill The Doctor, Chrome and Twilight.

“Do these guys ever give up?” Chrome said.

“Better question, is there a way to ever stop them and their fog?” The Doctor responded. The trio made it to the suburbs of Fillydelphia, where they rested from the chase.

“So now we know where that fog comes from,” Twilight said.

“I’ve had bad breath before, I’ll admit it, but not enough to destroy plasma like that,” The Doctor joked.

“Now’s not the time to be fooling around and making bad jokes, we have to find the Children’s hideout and defeat them,” Chrome said. An auburn colt in a red coat walked up to them and spoke up.

“Pretty sure I heard you guys talking about finding the cult’s hideout,” He said.

“You heard nothing, we weren’t conspiring against them, nope,” The Doctor replied, clearly lying.

“It’s cool, I’m on your side, I’m also sick of those guys taking over the city,” The colt replied, “The name’s Feather, if you were wondering,” Feather introduced himself.

“You are very suspicious,” Twilight remarked.

“I agree with her, if you betray us, I’ll shoot you on the spot,” Chrome threatened.

“No need to be pointing hooves,” The Doctor stepped in, “Or futuristic blasters, no need to be pointing those either,” He added, “Let’s just take Feather with us, and if he does betray us, then I’ll sit back and let you turn him into Swiss cheese,” The Doctor said, Feather was sweating out of fear for what these complete strangers would do to him if he made a wrong move around them.

“Okay, I’ll show you where I saw them gathering at dusk,” Feather said, he lead them back into the city, the cultists seemed to be gone, but not for long, three of them rushed from the shadows and after The Doctor and his group, breathing out their corrosive fog as they walked towards the four of them.

“Their hideout is just up ahead, we have to keep moving!” Feather shouted.

“Do not let those fools reach the ritual grounds,” One of the Children said to the others beside it. The Doctor’s group took a quick turn to the right as they saw a gate with an ominous blue light coming out of the closed off road. In the dead end road, the cultists were gathered around someone on a platform, dressed in a white cloak, as opposed to the usual black.

“That one in white is the leader,” Feather said.

“I’m sure we could guess,” Twilight replied.

“My loyal subjects, we have guests, four in fact,” The leader said, not looking back at the entrance to their ‘ritual grounds’ to know of the arrival of The Doctor’s group.

“You have four guests, hundreds of servants and an assassination attempt, you psychopath,” Chrome said, aiming her blaster at the leader’s head. The leader quickly turned around and fired a ball of red energy at Chrome, it hit her blaster and made it heat up, making her drop it on the ground.

“Just what I needed tonight, to know that I’m dealing with wizards or whatever,” The Doctor griped, “Do you have a title or something that we can refer to you by?” He asked.

“I am the Father of Darkness,” Their leader replied.

“Alright, Daddy Darko, how about you ground your useless kids who couldn’t kill us all dang night?” The Doctor taunted.

“It is not within my power to punish the Children of Darkness, it is up to the Prince to decide if they deserve any form of consequence for being incompetent fools,” The Father of Darkness said. He then let out his fog, which formed rows of knights that marched towards The Doctor and his team, the Children that were chasing them cornered them from behind, The Doctor and his group were trapped there.

“What can we do?” Twilight asked, the Children behind them were charging up black fireballs to attack.

“Feather, you’ve dealt with these guys before, defend us!” Chrome yelled.

“Ahh, the Prince of Darkness, why did you not warn us that it was you bringing these sweet victims directly to the ritual?” The Father of Darkness said.

“Wait, what?!” The Doctor shouted at ‘Daddy Darko’.

“Your red-coated friend is our lord, the Prince of Darkness,” The Father confirmed.

“Feather, that better not be true,” Chrome said. Feather pulled up his red hood and let his cloak go down to the ground, he then expelled a red fog from his mouth, which burned part of Chrome’s mane.

“It is true, dear mortal,” The Prince of Darkness said, “I am truly their lo-” He was interrupted by getting shot in the head by Chrome.

“For one, I promised I’d shoot you, and for two, rarely does someone assuming I’m a ‘dear mortal’ go out to tell their tale,” Chrome said, The Doctor and Twilight looked in shock, as did the Father of Darkness.

“The Prince died at the hands of a mere equine,” The Father said, “Destroy all of them, now!” He shouted. All of the Children around him turned to The Doctor, Twilight and Chrome and charged purple fireballs.

“Well, this is the end…” The Doctor said.

“Do not worry, these projectiles will merely force you into the deepest of slumbers, it won’t kill you, time and your mortal needs will end your lives instead,” The Father taunted them.

“It was great to meet you two,” Chrome said. Twilight put on a confident look and pushed her friends to the ground as the projectiles were fired at them, she took all of the shots and passed out on the ground, essentially dead.

Author's Note

Inspiration Corner: The Children are based on the band Ghost and their song "Secular Haze", thought, rather lightly. Check them out if you can, by the way, just not with your presumably religious granny in the room, I think.

New Episode of "Llama is a Terrible Writer": "Why imply that this Chrome is from the past with The Doctor saying 'You can't tell people about their future' instead of outright stating that she's from the past, relative to her time stream?"
Because I wanted to keep it slightly vague, as much as it did not and will not work.

Next time: The Doctor and Chrome have to keep Twilight safe from the Children of Darkness while Twilight slowly recovers from the magical attacks.

Episode 11: Destiny of The Doctor

Twilight awoke floating in a bright and colorful world, it resembled outer space, but pink and purple with yellow nebulae all around.

“Where am I?” She asked herself.

***

Back in the normal realm, The Doctor was carrying Twilight’s body to the TARDIS, followed closely by Chrome and several Children of Darkness along with the Father of Darkness.

“We need to get Twilight to the TARDIS’ medical bay and keep Twilight safe!” The Doctor said.

“Alright, I’ll keep them held back, take her over there!” Chrome responded. The Doctor rushed to the TARDIS, hoping it was not too late to help Twilight. Back in the pink space realm, Twilight was still drifting blindly around that world, until she landed on a platform with a thin layer of water over it.

***

“Hello?” Her words echoed through the empty pink universe, “Can anyone hear me?” She said, “Just nod, if you can,” Twilight added.

***

The Doctor entered the TARDIS and turned the cloister bell on, signifying that the ship was in danger. He carried Twilight’s unconscious body through the corridors of the TARDIS and into the medical bay, where he laid her on a bed and scanned her with his sonic screwdriver.

“Good, life signs, very weak, but they’re still life signs,” The Doctor sighed in relief. Chrome barged into the TARDIS and tried to keep the door shut, not letting the Children and their Father enter The Doctor’s ship, The Doctor also shut the door to the medical bay.

***

“Am I alone here?” Twilight asked, her words still echoing in the empty abyss of the world she was trapped in. Eventually, a ghostly white silhouette appeared from thin air, it looked just like Twilight and it got out of its hiding spot nodding its head, responding to the purple unicorn’s previous question.

“You are far from alone,” The shining white phantom said.

***

The Doctor was pacing around the room, hiding if he ever heard a sound outside.

“Twilight, wake up soon,” He said to himself over and over.

Chrome was trying to gun down the Children of Darkness, but her laser shots kept on being dissolved in their fog, which was slowly filling the console room, but her immortality helped her in this battle.

“Why don’t you take off your cloaks for once? If it’s to hide from everyone else, there’s just me in here,” Chrome said, The Father of Darkness was mildly displeased by the suggestion, but he obeyed.

“Very well, if you’d rather see out faces as you shoot us down, so be it,” The Father said, then ordering his army to remove their cloaks, all of them were people Chrome cared about, her parents, The Doctor, Twilight, her childhood friends, all of the Children were people she knew and loved.

“I won’t fall for this, it’s just a holographic memory scan, you read my mind and chose the best disguises to guilt trip me into not fighting,” Chrome saw through their plans and continued to shoot, despite her shots basically disappearing as soon as they left the barrel. The Children’s disguises went away and they showed themselves to be zombie-like in appearance, mangled and distorted face with missing parts, sickly pale green skin and empty white eyes, “That’s a little bit more like it,” Chrome said.

“You shall drown in the haze,” One of the Children said.

“That’s where you’re wrong,” Chrome said, she kicked a lever on the TARDIS console and some roundels at the top of the room turned open, revealing the ventilation system, which vacuumed the Children’s fog out of the room, allowing Chrome to hit them, she shot around five or six before the lever was pulled back down by an unknown force, allowing the cultists to use their mist once more.

The Father of Darkness was holding one of his front hooves up and an orange aura was around it, he had used telekinesis to close the ventilation.

“I can turn those things on all day,” Chrome said, kicking the lever back up so she could shoot them again, but the Children on the floor were acting oddly, their corpses were twitching and they soon got back up.

“Did you not think this through? My children cannot die, as they already are,” The Father said, he then used his fog to make knights that marched towards Chrome, another row marched past her and further into the TARDIS, but Chrome closed the doors before they could go inside.

***

“Who are you?” Twilight asked the ghostly white clone of herself.

“I am you, obviously,” The ghost replied, “Your Future, to be precise,” She added.

“And I am your Past,” Another ghostly figure appeared behind Twilight, “You are the present,” The Past said.

“I don’t get it,” Twilight said.

“I represent what is still to happen,” The Future began, “She is what happened already, and you are what is currently happening,” She explained.

“We must tell you about The Doctor,” The Past said.

***

The Doctor was hiding under one of the beds in the medical bay, occasionally peeking out of hiding to see if anyone entered.

“Doctor, can you lock all of the ship’s vents open?” Chrome asked through an intercom.

“I could try,” The Doctor replied, he used his sonic screwdriver on a nearby vent and all of them in the TARDIS opened up and stayed that way.

“Thanks, Doc, I’ll take care of these Children of Darkness,” Chrome said.

“You’re welcome,” The Doctor responded, he got out of hiding and scanned Twilight again, “Same as before, come on Twily, don’t be dead,” He said.

***

“Why The Doctor?” Twilight asked.

“His final battle approaches,” The Future said.

“What does that mean? What will happen?” Twilight continued to ask questions.

“Have you ever liked it when somepony told you about the ending of a big book you were reading?” The Past replied.

“Fair enough, but I need to at least have some idea as to what’s going on and what will happen,” Twilight said.

“In the outer realm, you are in a comatose state, ‘unconscious’ or ‘knocked out’ if you prefer,” The Future explained, “We may awaken you once we’re done talking,” She added.

“Then speak up,” Twilight responded.

***

Chrome and The Doctor met up in one of the TARDIS corridors, the former carrying a rifle.

“What’s that for and how did you get it?” The Doctor questioned.

“I found it in the TARDIS armory, how have you not found a way to get rid of it, being a pacifist and all?” Chrome replied.

“Good question, but I still need to know why you got it out of there,” The Doctor said.

“It’s for you to help me fight those cultists,” Chrome responded.

“But I don’t fight, especially not with guns,” He replied.

“They’re already dead, living corpses, you won’t be taking any lives, just putting them where they’re supposed to be,” Chrome explained.

“Yeah, re-killing people makes it so much better,” The Doctor sarcastically said.

“Just take it and shoot,” Chrome said, putting the gun strap around The Doctor’s neck. The Children of Darkness arrived and walked closer to them, the vents taking their fog away and rendering them harmless, Chrome immediately gunned them down with her blaster, while The Doctor hesitated, he tried shooting once, but missed.

“I can’t shoot them, I made a promise to myself,” The Doctor said.

“Just imagine they’re someone you really hate and destroy as many as you can,” Chrome encouraged him. The Doctor closed his eyes and when he opened them, he imagined all of the zombies as being his worst enemies, Daleks, Weeping Angels, among others, and he began to fight them on the spot, although reluctantly, “That’s the spirit!” Chrome enthusiastically said.

After the long battle, all of the Children were dead on the ground and The Doctor’s self-induced illusion faded away and he saw the carnage he helped cause.

“Why did I listen to you?” The Doctor asked, turning back to Chrome.

“I may have lied in saying that you’d be putting them back in the grave,” The gray mare said.

“What is that supposed to mean?” The Doctor asked, menacingly.

“Well, it’s because…” Chrome said, but stopped herself as the Children behind The Doctor got back up from the floor, “They can come right back up,” She finished her sentence.

“Indeed,” The Father said, “My children cannot be killed as easily as our master was,” He continued.

“Impossible, you must have a weakness,” The Doctor said as the Father laughed and created more knights out of his haze.

***

“As I said, The Doctor’s final battle approaches,” The Future began, “He shall travel to a distant, artificial world,” She continued, “You and the other girl will be with him,” The Future finished.

“What should I do?” Twilight asked.

“What do you feel you should do? What would The Doctor want you to do?” The Past said, “Will you sit back, hide and look pretty?” She asked.

“Or shall you truly help him in his time of need?” The Future said.

“I don’t know…” Twilight said, “Can’t you see what I will do?” She asked.

“Butterfly effect,” The Past said.

“What?” Twilight was confused.

“Your choices now will drastically change the future, I am unable to tell you about this type of event,” The Future explained, “but I can tell you the possibilities,” She added.

“Then do it!” Twilight shouted.

“You will either fail in saving The Doctor from his old foe, or you shall help him in the battle,” The Future said.

“Then I can save him?” Twilight asked, gaining hope.

“I’m afraid not, has he explained fixed temporal points to you yet?” The Future asked.

“Nope,” The Past replied.

“Well, it was nice talking to you, what’s going on out there now?” Twilight asked, a screen made of light rose from the thin water and it showed a camera in the TARDIS, The Doctor and Chrome were backing up, being cornered by the Children of Darkness.

“He is in danger right now, you must return and save The Doctor,” The Past said.

“But how?” Twilight asked. The Future went up to Twilight and whispered something into her ear, the purple unicorn simply nodded and was transported back to the real world, her dream realm collapsing into itself as she disappeared.

“Good luck in the next life Doctor, if these things don’t take it and however many you have left afterwards,” Chrome said as the Children closed in on them, they stopped to charge black spears of energy, it seemed like the end. Twilight rushed out of the medical bay and concentrated on a spell, her horn glowed brighter and brighter until a burst of sunlight came out of it, burning the Children of Darkness and the Father into dust and cloaks.

“Twilight!” The Doctor said in excitement, he rushed over to hug her and did so, “I’m so glad to see you alive and kicking!” He added.

“It’s also good to know you’re alive, Twi,” Chrome said with a smile on her face.

“It’s great to be alive too,” Twilight said, “You’re welcome for me saving you two, by the way,” She added.

“How did you even do that sun burst thing?” The Doctor asked.

“I was in a weird dream where I met my Past and Future, and my Future told me that I should think about the sun and its light while casting a spell and that’d happen,” Twilight explained.

“Did they say anything else, anything mildly important?” The Doctor was curious.

“They said that your final battle was coming soon, and no matter what I’d do to help, you’d end up dead…” Twilight said, losing her smile, “The Future briefly mentioned an old foe of yours, but I have no clue who it could be,” She included.

“So my time I coming, isn’t it…” The Doctor said, stepping away from Twilight and bumping his head on a nearby wall, “Where is it gonna be?” He asked.

“She just mentioned a ‘distant, artificial planet’,” Twilight said, which did not help the case.

The Doctor was silent and thought before speaking, “In any case, we should stick around in the TARDIS, let’s go to the console room,” He said. They got to the control room and Chrome sat down to have a nap, but an incoming message got her to wake up a moment after, “Another distress call already?” The Doctor asked. He turned on the video and it showed Dommy running away from something, he, obviously, was calling for help before a metallic hoof touched his shoulder and he fell down, dropping his communicator.

“Doctor, what even happened there?” Twilight asked.

“Well, it seems I have to fight them again,” The Doctor said, “Computer, track where the message came from,” He added.

“Message traced to Arkantus Prison Complex,” The TARDIS replied.

“Then that’s where were going,” The Doctor said, he took control of the ship and took off, keeping a stoic look on his face.

Let's play: Spot the Pink Floyd reference

On this episode of "Llama is a Terrible Writer": "Why did Twilight never use magic before in this story?"
She was scared that the aliens she'd been fighting were "magic proof" or something. That's an awful explanation, and I am an awful writer.

Next Time: It's the beginning of the end, The Doctor and his friends arrive at the Arkantus prison complex and meet their enemy.

Episode 12: The Battle of Arkantus

The Doctor, Twilight Sparkle and Chrome Green arrived at the Arkantus system and landed at the hangar of the prison complex, as the TARDIS stopped, Chrome returned to the armory to get weapons that she felt would be useful.

“Do you think you can use this, Twilight?” Chrome asked, handing the purple unicorn a small white pistol.

“Yep, just enough,” Twilight replied, she held the weapon with her magic and accidentally fired it at the time rotor, breaking through the glass casing but not damaging the machine itself.

“Just be very careful not to end up going all trigger happy,” Chrome said.

“So, shall we head out and see what those Cybermen are up to in this place?” The Doctor asked. The two mares nodded and they all stepped outside of the TARDIS to explore the station, Chrome going ahead, as she had a rifle.

“The coast is clear, let’s go deeper into the complex,” Chrome confirmed as she looked around a corner, Twilight and The Doctor walked slightly faster to catch up to the gray mare. They went further inside of the station and found cell block A, the entire prison was abandoned, and due to all the cracks, cobwebs and scattered debris, The Doctor could tell that it was left there for a long time.

“A space station made of cement, you see something new every day,” Twilight commented.

“It’s not all cement, just the cell blocks, for some reason,” Chrome replied. The Doctor ran beside Twilight to talk to her.

“What if this is where that battle is gonna be?” The Doctor asked, “The one that will supposedly kill me and all?” He added.

“I have no clue, I can’t see into the future, not yet, at least,” Twilight said, The Doctor did not reply, simply turning his head to look forwards as he trotted after Chrome, Twilight did the same.

“Whatever happens, just promise you won’t leave me behind if I regenerate,” The Doctor said, not turning to face Twilight.

“I’ll try to…” The purple unicorn replied. The trio took an elevator to cell block B, when they arrived, someone was breathing heavily near the doors, the mysterious person turned around the corner, showing himself to be Dommy, who pointed a blaster at them.

“Oh, Twilight, Doctor!” Dommy said, putting down his blaster.

“Why hello, Dommy, we got your message,” The Doctor greeted.

“Nice to see ya again,” Twilight responded.

“Who would the silver-coated lady be?” Dommy asked.

“This is Chrome,” The Doctor introduced her.

“Good to meet you, Chrome,” Dommy said, “So, shall we keep going?” He asked, Dommy went ahead, The Doctor following and catching up to him while Twilight and Chrome trotted at the back of the group.

“Chrome, scan Dommy,” Twilight requested.

“I don’t scan anyone without them knowing, it’s rude,” Chrome politely refused.

“I think he’s suspicious,” Twilight explained, slowly aiming her blaster at him.

“Put the gun down, he looks just fine to me,” Chrome said, “If you try killing a bystander or somepony on our side, I will arrest you on the spot,” She continued, Twilight remained quiet.

As the group passed by cell block C, they heard the sound of the Cybermen marching towards them.

“They’re getting closer, we need to hide!” Dommy shouted, the group hid in the cells to not be found by the cyborgs.

“How did they come back?” The Doctor asked himself. The Cybermen entered the cell block, lead by the Cyber-Lord. Chrome made a mistake and jumped out of hiding, pointing her gun at the Cybermen.

“Stop right there, I will shoot,” Chrome threatened.

“We Cybermen are not scared of you, inferior lifeforms,” The Cyber-Lord said.

“If you’re really not, do something about me,” Chrome bluffed.

“Chrome, stop!” The Doctor yelled.

“Affirmative,” The Cyber-Lord replied to the gray mare, raising a hoof and shooting Chrome in the chest. She fell on the floor, unconscious, Dommy rushed to see if she was okay.

“Dommy, leave her!” Twilight shouted.

“You shall come with us, subject ‘Dommy’,” A Cyberman said, it touched the gray stallion with its metallic hoof, shocking him and knocking Dommy unconscious, the Cyberman then dragged him back to where its squad came out of.

“Stop it!” The Doctor shouted, coming out of his hiding spot.

“Doctor, you show yourself at last,” The Cyber-Lord said, “We are taking your friend for conversion,” It continued.

“Oh, you won’t, I refuse to let you kill him,” The Doctor replied, he pointed his sonic screwdriver at the Cyber-Lord, but it did nothing.

“Your tools are useless against the new Cyberman army, Doctor,” A Cyberman claimed. The squad then walked off to their part of the complex, leaving The Doctor, Twilight and Chrome behind. Chrome woke up and walked up to the other two.

“What happened? I got shot by that Cyberman and didn’t see anything,” Chrome said.

“The Cybermen took Dommy, we have to go find them,” Twilight replied.

“But where would they be?” The Doctor asked, “Where would I hide if I was a killer cyborg aboard a space station…” He thought out loud.

“If I had to guess, I’d say they would be in the engine room,” Chrome said.

“A bit too obvious, but it’s very possible,” The Doctor replied. The team then headed back to the elevator to check the map on the wall, the engine room was at the bottom of the prison, they made it down there and saw a legion of Cybermen and a large metallic sphere at the top of the main engine, with cables connecting it to the generators on the sides.

“Hello, John Smith here,” The Doctor joked as they entered the room.

“You fail to fool any of us, Doctor,” The sphere at the top said.

“And you fail to ever understand humor, mister Cyber-Planner,” The Doctor replied.

“Cybermen need no ‘humor’,” The Cyber-Planner replied back.

“Doc, now’s not the time to be cracking jokes with these things,” Chrome said, worried that the Cybermen would start firing at any moment.

“Just a second,” The Doctor responded, “I always thought you guys were very bland, I got out of that last battle by giving a speech to your commander on how he was wrong and boring, but now for the topic of the hour,” He said, “Where is Dommy?” The Doctor asked.

“He has been successfully converted,” The Cyber-Lord answered, pushing a Cyberman forwards, Chrome got up to it and shot it in the head and chest.

“Last time I met you you were calling me a hypocrite, now look who’s trigger happy today, missy!” The Doctor called Chrome out.

“He was trying to fool us, also, I never said anything like that,” Chrome replied, The Doctor immediately remembered that she told him that in the future, so he stayed quiet, “I scanned this hunk of junk and did not detect DNA in whatever is still inside this husk,” She explained.

“So you are not so foolish after all,” The Cyber-Planner said, “But we refuse to give away where your friend is located in this space station,” It added.

“I guessed that much, but I have ways of making you talk,” The Doctor said, adjusting something in his sonic screwdriver, he then pointed it at a Cyberman and its head slowly began to glow bright red, it soon fell on the ground.

“What are you doing to my soldiers?” The Cyber-Lord asked.

“This was an old party trick in Gallifrey, using a sonic to heat something up, just be glad I didn’t get to the exploding part,” The Doctor said, overheating another Cyberman, “I’m sure they’ll be back up soon, think of this as an interrogation, the longer you don’t speak up, the more of your men will get harmed,” He explained.

“The Doctor is awfully jovial as he’s facing these guys and possibly killing them,” Twilight remarked.

“Ditto, but I’m not complaining,” Chrome agreed. There were at least thirteen Cybermen overheated on the floor of the engine room when the Cyber-Planner finally decided to give The Doctor the information he wanted.

“I shall tell you what you want,” The Cyber-Planner began, “Your companion may be found at one of the hangars of level D in this station,” It said.

“Thank you very much for finally cooperating, see you later to get rid of you until an anniversary special or something,” The Doctor smiled, but Chrome and Twilight were just confused at the comment, but the two mares aimed their guns at the Cybermen as The Doctor left the room, they soon followed him.

The trio checked all four hangars in level D and Dommy was nowhere to be found, could he have actually been converted or outright killed?

“The Cyber-Planner is not the type of AI to lie just to be left alone like that, Dommy must be here somewhere,” The Doctor said. They heard the marching of the Cybermen behind them, about fifteen soldiers were walking to the hangar, the trio turned around and noticed that Dommy was in front of them.

“Dommy, you’re alright!” Chrome said.

“Yes, I surely am,” Dommy said, The Doctor’s suspicions of him from when he first saw Dommy were quickly returning. Chrome tried to go up to Dommy for a hug, but was pulled back by The Doctor.

“I no longer have a good feeling about this guy, stay armed,” The Doctor said, it was odd for him to say that someone should keep their guns up, but Chrome and Twilight obeyed and took aim.

“Wow, no need to point guns at me, I just need to ask a few questions,” Dommy said.

“Go on then,” The Doctor agreed with Dommy questioning them.

“Question one,” The gray colt began, “Who or what brought you three over here?” He asked.

“You sent us a distress call,” Chrome answered.

“Good, question two, who do you suppose is the big bad in this situation?” Dommy asked.

“The Cybermen, of course,” Twilight replied.

“Amazing, you are a brilliant little group, final question time,” Dommy said, “Dommy is short for ‘Dominus’, your turn, Doctor, do you know what that word means?” He asked, trotting towards The Doctor.

“I’ve had Latin classes a few times, and if I remember correctly, Dominus…” The Doctor stopped himself to think for a second, “But it can’t be, I’m the last, you died and I saw it!” He said.

“Come on, no need for drama, answer my final question to get your reward,” Dommy said.

“Dominus…” The Doctor began to get mad, “Means ‘Master’,” He finally said.

“Very good indeed, old friend, or should I say foe?” Dommy said, “Which means that I am ‘Master’ or ‘The Master’, if you don’t mind any formalities,” The Master added.

“But I swear I saw you pass out back in Arsenia, you died in that cave,” The Doctor claimed.

“If I did die, it’s because you left me there, so much for being the big hero of the universe, eh, Doc?” The Master taunted. Twilight tried shooting The Master, but the recoil from the blaster sent it flying to the edge of the hangar but she didn’t bother getting it back, instead preparing to cast a spell.

“Cybermen, transporter beams, get me to my room before they force me to regenerate right here,” The Master ordered, the Cybermen shot him with red lasers and he disappeared into the air, presumably appearing somewhere else in the complex.

“What is our reward?” Chrome asked, ready to fire at the robots.

“You shall be spared for now,” One of the Cybermen said, making the trio settle down, “But you must come with us,” The Cyberman said, shooting a red laser at each of them, which took them to a chamber at the top of the prison complex, the room had a large, circular window at the ceiling, which was pointed at a nearby sun, The Master, the Cybermen and the Cyber-Planner were all there.

“So, Doctor, it’s time for my obligatory bad guy monologue,” The Master said, “Basically, we’re using this base as a huge cannon to destroy this entire system,” He explained.

“And you’re feeding this weapon with the power of a sun?” Chrome asked.

“You sure are a smart one, yes, we are using that star up there, Zeta-1312, to power our cannon,” The Master said.

“You’re gonna destroy an entire system? For what?” The Doctor questioned.

“You destroyed our home, Gallifrey, and suddenly I’m not allowed to bring an entire system down?” The Master asked, prancing around the Cyber-Planner.

“That’s a massive leap and you know it,” The Doctor replied.

“I don’t care, Planner, tell him to shut up,” The Master said, turning his back and raising a hoof to his ear and talking.

“Quiet, Doctor, or you and your companions will be deleted,” The Cyber-Planner said.

“Well, good enough, anyways, if we want to do this, we’ll have to get rid of you guys, so,” The Master said.

“So what?” Twilight asked.

“So, I called an armada of Cybermen, straight from Mondas, just for you three,” The Master replied, “Thank me for ending your miserable lives later, oh wait,” He added and started laughing maniacally.

“I’ve met many terrible beings, but you always manage to be up there on the list,” The Doctor said.

“Can’t hear you, being taken to my office, get them, Cybers,” The Master said as he was transported to another part of the station, the trio got their tools out, Twilight’s magic, Chrome’s rifle and The Doctor’s screwdriver, and prepared to fight or run.

“Chrome, could you call for back-up as well?” Twilight asked.

“Sure, they’ll be here soon,” Chrome said, she out her hoof to her ear and called for reinforcements for the battle, the trio then ran away, Twilight stopping to use magic against the Cybermen, firing a few glowing pink spheres at the Cyber-Planner.

“Twilight, we have to go!” The Doctor shouted.

“Alright,” Twilight replied, rushing to rejoin the group. They stopped and hid in one of the cell blocks to set up their battle plan.

“Any ideas on how we could win this?” The Doctor asked.

“I say Twilight and I hold out at a hangar until the Alliance arrives while you go and get The Master, wherever he is,” Chrome suggested.

“Sounds good,” The Doctor replied, “I’ll go and find The Master while you two cover me,” He said.

“That’s not necessarily my suggestion, but okay,” Chrome said, The Doctor ran off and some Cybermen appeared from the opposite side of the cell block, Chrome and Twilight fought them off to make it to a hangar.

The Doctor was roaming the halls of the abandoned prison, hiding from or overheating any Cyberman he found.

“If I was The Master in an intergalactic prison, where would I be hiding, what part would be my little base of operations…”The Doctor said to himself, He looked out of a window and saw various ships arriving in the distance, they looked like the ships belonging to the Cybermen, so he had to move quickly.

***

“Twilight, I see some spaceships way over there, do you?” Chrome asked.

“The Centurion Alliance took no time getting here,” Twilight replied.

“Those are not Centurion ships, that’s a Mondasian fleet, the Cybermen are almost here,”

“Halt, organic lifeforms detected,” A Cyberman behind the two mares said, “You shall come with us or you shall be deleted,” It continued, a squad of fourteen other cyborgs showed up behind it.

“Delete this!” Twilight yelled, firing several magical shots at the Cybermen, destroying them, Chrome quietly applauded but quickly stopped.

***

The Doctor continued to walk around, trying to find The Master, until he came across a large door labeled ‘Warden’

“Well, duh, how is it possible that I didn’t figure out he would be in here,” The Doctor said, hitting himself in the face, he opened the doors and walked across a corridor surrounded by a glass tube. The Doctor passed through the other doors and saw The Master, sitting at his desk and playing with a pen.

“Doctor, I was expecting you,” The Master said.

“Cut the super villain stuff, please,” The Doctor replied.

“As you wish,” The Master said, “I’d assume you want to know everything that lead up to the current events, am I right?” He asked.

“First of all, I told you to cut it,” The Doctor began,” And second, yes, tell me about it,” He answered.

“I’m sure you remember the battle of Hiskus, where you fought the Cybermen and Chrome died and you got all saddy waddy or whatever,” The Master started, “Well, I ended up there when I left Geb with my vortex manipulator, I found the Cyberman ship and turned them all back on, with one condition, they would follow me and only me, from the regular soldiers to the Planner, all of them would obey their master,” He explained.

“And that all relates to wanting to destroy an entire solar system how?” The Doctor asked.

“It doesn’t relate, it’s just that you destroyed Gallifrey, the many Time Lords, the innocent farmers and workers, our families, you mercilessly killed all of them with the press of a button,” The Master ranted, “So I’ll be testing you, if you truly care about all of these planets, you’ll finish the job and be the last Time Lord, right here, right now,” He taunted.

“You know I don’t like to kill anything and anyone,” The Doctor said.

“This desk is the same from the Cyberman ship back in Hiskus, it can turn every Cyberman off, if you decide to at least fight, I’ll let you use the switch no matter what,” The Master responded, slowly reaching for something in his jacket, The Doctor quickly drew his sonic screwdriver and The master got his laser screwdriver, “Hah, what’re you gonna do with that thing? Build a cabinet around me?” The Master joked.

“No, I’ve got other plans,” The Doctor said, “If you don’t turn all of the Cybermen off on your own, I’ll break the windows and we’ll both go flying off into space and die frozen,” He explained his idea.

“But you’ll hold on to the desk to stay inside while the airlock closes down,” The Master said.

“But you’re closer, if you know I could do that, how do I know you wouldn’t do the same and throw me out?” The Doctor questioned.

“This fight is gonna go literally nowhere while the scene switches back to your little friends, is it?” The Master said.

“What?” The Doctor asked.

“Come on, any moment now the Centurion ships will get here to help us,” Chrome said, look out of the hangar at the Cyberman ships closing in on the prison.

“A distant artificial planet… What if this is where The Doctor’s big battle is gonna be?” Twilight asked.

“It’s very possible,” Chrome replied. As the Cyberman ships were almost at the prison complex, a large fleet warped into place and began to shoot at the incoming ships, smaller ships appeared and landed in the hangars, the Cybermen in the station rushed to take down the invaders.

“Agent Chrome, are you really alive?” Asked a helmeted pony as she stepped out of a ship in the hangar.

“Yes, who are you?” Chrome asked back, the pony removed her helmet and revealed herself to be Zyla, the Silurian.

“It’s good to see you again, captain Zyla at your disposal, commander,” Zyla said, Chrome gasped for a moment.

“Indeed, you have been ranked up to commander, we felt you were worthy of leading the battle just this once,” Silver Bullet said, stepping out of his fighter ship, “Where is The Doctor, by the way?” He asked.

“He’s fighting The Master somewhere in the base,” Twilight answered.

“Then I’ll form a squadron to locate and take down this ‘Master’,” Silver Bullet said.

***

At the warden’s office, The Doctor and The Master were still locked, waiting for one of them to make a move, which would kill one of them of both at once.

“Are you waiting for a formal invite, Doctor? Go on, your plan won’t work anyway, but you can still try,” The Master taunted.

“Do you refuse to turn your army off?” The Doctor asked.

“Well, before I do, there’s something I want to show you,” The Master said, the two put down their items and headed to a screen on the desk.

Chrome and her troops ran down a corridor and came across the Cyber-Lord and a different looking Cyberman, this one had green markings and the letters ‘BW’ on its side.

“Squadron, prepare to fire,” Chrome said.

“Cyber-Captain, delete the intruders,” the Cyber-Lord said, the green-painted Cyberman stepped forwards and took aim.

“Stop, all of you!” The Doctor’s voice shouted through the intercom.

“Doctor? Where are you?” Chrome asked, “Why shouldn’t we gun down these Cybermen?” She added.

“Why should we listen to you and cease fire?” The Cyber-Lord questioned.

“Cyber-Chrome, if you’re still hanging it there and listening you can’t do this,” The Doctor said, “If you interact with you past self, even if she doesn’t die, the paradox could damage the universal timeline,” He added.

“Yes, because you’re the best one to be chit-chatting about not damaging the timeline,” The Master said, “Mister ‘I can do this crud all I want but nobody else can because I dictate the rules for some reason’,” He taunted in a childish and squeaky voice.

“Doctor? Are you really there?” Cyber-Chrome asked.

“Yes, I’ll be with you in just a moment,” The Doctor said, he then turned around and punched The Master in the face before leaving to meet up with Chrome and her future self. The Doctor arrived at the corridor and was met with the normal Chrome and Cyber-Chrome in front of each other.

“Doctor, what is this thing and why did it listen to you?” Chrome asked, stepping towards her future self.

“Don’t touch her, she’s you from your future,” The Doctor said.

“What?” Chrome was confused.

“She is you, and if you interact with each other, lord knows what may happen,” The Doctor explained.

“Well, do you know where The Master is?” Chrome asked.

“You shall not reach our master, you will be deleted,” The Cyber-Lord said, it aimed at Chrome and fired, Zyla went up to the harmed Chrome to check on her. The Doctor used his screwdriver to overheat the Cyber-Lord and blew up its head.

“No need to worry about Chrome, she’s immortal,” The Doctor said, Zyla got up from checking on her as the gray mare got back up.

“Ugh, second time I get shot by that piece of scrap today,” Chrome griped.

“Back to your question, The Master is at the warden’s office, back there,” The Doctor said, pointing in the right way, the entire group headed to the office and made their way inside.

“Doctor, should I have followed you here?” Cyber-Chrome wondered.

“Of course, you can help us,” The Doctor told her. In the office, they did not see The Master anywhere, Zyla went up to the desk to check behind it, “It’s a trap!” The Doctor and Chrome said in unison, The Master jumped out from hiding and shot Zyla with his laser screwdriver, killing her.

“You are under arrest for severely harming an officer!” Chrome shouted, Cyber-Chrome and her took aim to shoot The Master.

“Yes, because I, a Time Lord, am so scared to get shot and die,” The Master said, he then shot Chrome with his screwdriver and she fell down on the ground for the third time.

“Stop it!” The Doctor yelled.

“‘Stop it, I’m telling mommy!’,” The Master joked, “Shouting at everyone doesn’t solve anything,” He said.

“I refuse to kill you,” The Doctor said.

“But killing my Cybermen is just fine, isn’t it?” The Master asked, silencing The Doctor, “Most, if not, all of them were people too, do they suddenly not matter?” He started taunting The Doctor again.

“Shut up already, you murderer!” The Doctor shouted.

“Said the pot to the kettle,” The Master said, “Just because you’re such a little baby when it comes to violence, doesn’t mean everyone else is,” He added, he then killed all of the other soldiers with his laser screwdriver.

“My patience is getting to its limit with you!” The Doctor yelled, tearing up from anger.

“Yappity yappity yap, how about you shut up and let me do what I want? Who do you think you are to be ordering that stuff to your old friend? Sorry, I forgot, you thought you were the last of the Time Lords, so, naturally, you can do anything with no consequences,” The Master ranted, backing The Doctor out of his office. Twilight showed up at the door and The Master ponted his weapon at her.

“Kill Twilight and my mercy goes straight out of the window,” The Doctor angrily said.

“Let’s see if that’s tru-” He was stopped by Twilight’s magic shots, which knocked him back.

“Doctor, are you okay?” Twilight asked, she ran up to The Doctor and hugged him.

“Yes, we just have to defeat The Master and I’ll get you home safe and sound,” The Doctor replied, The Master got back up and prepared to shoot The Doctor and Twilight.

“How cute, looks like the little couple will die together,” The Master said, before he could fire, Chrome knocked him out by whacking him on the head with the handle of her rifle, she then placed cuffs on his hooves and dragged him back up. Twilight went to the desk and saw the red switch.

“Is it okay to flip this thing?” Twilight asked The Doctor.

“That switch turns off all of the Cybermen on the ship, all the remaining soldiers, the Cyber-Planner…” The Doctor paused, “And the future Chrome,” He said.

“Press it, please,” Cyber-Chrome said, The Doctor walked up to her, not saying anything, and hugged her one last time.

“Now you can do it, Twily,” The Doctor said, Twilight obeyed and turned all of the Cybermen off, ultimately ending the battle.

***

The group carried The Master to the hangar where a carrier ship was parked, which was the same as where the TARDIS was.

“Chrome, you did it, where are the others?” Silver Bullet asked.

“Zyla and the other soldiers are all dead, The Master killed them,” The Doctor answered.

“What about the Cybermen in the station?” Silver added.

“I turned them all off,” Twilight said.

“Great, I suppose out job here is done,” Silver happily said, The Master woke up and stood on his own, Chrome and The Doctor let go of him.

“What happened?” The Master asked.

“You’re under arrest, as I said before,” Chrome said. The Doctor got his sonic screwdriver out and used it on the chains on the cuffs holding The Master’s front hooves, “Doc, what are you doing?” Chrome asked, worried.

“Will you apologize for all the lives you took, either on your own or with your army?” The Doctor asked.

“Typical pacifist Doctor, thinking that saying ‘sorry’ will solve all the problems in the universe,” The Master sarcastically replied.

“I know it won’t fix anything, those who died will stay dead, Gallifrey will stay destroyed, but if I won’t kill you-” He was cut off by The Master kicking Chrome and taking his screwdriver from her belt.

“Then I will!” The Master finished the sentence, he then shot The Doctor and made him fall back, gravely injured.

“Troops, disarm him and put him in the carrier!” Silver Bullet shouted, The Master dropped the screwdriver and put his hooves in the air, as if he was glad to be arrested. He was taken into the large ship and locked into a small cell during the trip, the carrier flew away along with the other ships of the Centurion armada.

The Doctor was on the floor of the hangar, dying, Twilight and Chrome picked him up and dragged him to the TARDIS, laying him over the console.

“Doctor, will you be okay?” Twilight asked.

“No… That shot was fatal, now I…” The Doctor stopped to breathe, “I have to go…”

“You don’t have to regenerate now, we can help, can’t you hold it back?” Chrome asked.

“I’m so sorry, Chrome, Twilight, it’s over for your old ninth Doctor, the clock will strike ten any minute now…” He said.

“Even when you’re dying, you still manage to say some cheesy thing that belongs in an old story book,” Chrome joked, still slightly crying.

“Yeah, good old me, always ranting, yelling, cracking bad jokes…” The Doctor said, his face and hooves getting covered by some sort of orange energy, “God, I’m gonna miss these days,” He said as his vision grew blurry and the energy engulfed his body. A second afterwards, The Doctor’s coat was a grayed out dark green and his mane was darker and not as dim, he opened his eyes and they were a bright orange.

“Are you alright now?” Twilight asked.

“Alright, I wish that was enough to describe it,” The new Doctor said, he got back up but groaned in pain, “Sorry, my new spine feels kinda weird, I’ll get used to it,” He said, making the two mares in the room confused.

“So, that was it? I expected some sort of dramatic explosion, but I’m not complaining,” Twilight said.

“I also expected that, maybe next time, let’s just hope that it doesn’t come so soon,” The Doctor said, smiling, “Anyways, let’s go, I have two girls to get home, which one comes first?” He asked himself.

“I think I’ll travel with you a little bit longer,” Chrome said.

“Alright, that just leaves Twily, who lives in a library on Earth,” The Doctor said, he took off and after a moment, the TARDIS began to malfunction for some odd reason.

“Doctor, what’s happening? Can we help?” Twilight asked.

“I don’t know, reverse the polarity of the neutron flow?” The Doctor said.

“How and what?” Twilight asked again.

“I also don’t know, usually I pass out soon after regenerating, but this time I’m remembering a bunch of stuff from my past, in order, because it has to be boring,” The Doctor said, flipping levers and pressing buttons.

“Are we gonna crash?!” Chrome asked, extremely worried.

“Not today, baby!” The Doctor replied, tugging on a pump-like device on the side of the console that made the ship get back on course. The TARDIS safely landed behind the Golden Oaks Library and Twilight stepped outside, it was a rainy day, so she wanted to rush inside.

“Doctor, thank you for showing me the universe and all that other stuff, I hope I’ll see you again someday,” Twilight said, she then ran into the library to not get wet in the rain, The Doctor ran after her to say something.

“Twilight!” The Doctor called for her, “Can we talk tomorrow at that cafe downtown?” he asked.

Sugar Cube Corner? Sure, why not,” Twilight replied.

“Okay, see ya,” The Doctor said, he then walked back to the TARDIS and turned it on.

“Where are we going?” Chrome asked.

“Just to tomorrow, that’s all,” The Doctor answered.

The next morning, Twilight went to Sugar Cube Corner and met with The Doctor, still with his different face, but with a bow tie instead of a scarf.

“Doctor, what did you want to talk about?” Twilight asked.

“Well, it’s about traveling with me,” The Doctor began, “Do you still want to do it? You must have lots of things to do, friends and family you haven’t seen in a while and that you might miss if you go,” The Doctor said.

“Yeah, I’ve also thought of leaving you,” Twilight replied, “I’m sorry for breaking that promise, Doc,” She added.

“It’s alright, you can leave if you want, I can’t force you to do something like that,” The Doctor said.

“So, is that all you came here for?” Twilight asked.

“That, and the coffee here is amazing, you should have a cup someday,” The Doctor said, he got up and walked away slowly, “So, bye, Twi,” The Doctor said to his friend.

“See you…” Twilight said. A moment later The Doctor came back with a book.

“One last thing, Twily,” The Doctor said, “Check this out,” He showed her the book.

“Is it a gift?” Twilight asked.

“Not really, I just wanted to show you something from the future to encourage you,” The Doctor said, he flipped the pages to the very last one where it showed the author and it had a picture of an older looking Twilight Sparkle.

“This is a book I wrote?” Twilight asked.

“Yep, and look back at the cover,” The Doctor said, closing the book and pointing at a golden sticker on the cover.

“It’s a best seller!?” Twilight was pleasantly surprised.

“Yeah, so, unless you want this moment to go into a temporal waste bin, make it happen and write this book some day,” The Doctor said, he took the book back and left Twilight smiling and waving at him in front of Sugar Cube Corner.

The Doctor went back into the TARDIS and remembered that Chrome was inside.

“What now?” Chrome asked.

“I just need to make a phone call then we can move on,” The Doctor replied, he took the TARDIS’ phone and called the same number in the past, Twilight picked up after she left the Manehattan cafe.

“Hello, Twilight?” The Doctor said.

“Yes, who is this?”

“I’m The Doctor,” He continued.

“But, how? You’re in there paying for the food at the cafe,” Twilight was confused.

“As I’m talking to you here, I’m dead, the version of me that’s with you, that is,” The Doctor said, “It’s a long story, I’m sure that old feller will explain when it’s time,” He continued.

“I have no clue what’s going on,”

“Well, I don’t have much time, but I need you to know something, about that guy Dommy,” The Doctor began, but Twilight hung up the phone as her Doctor arrived, “He’s The Master, if you meet him again don’t…” He said, but got no response, Twilight already let go of the phone on her end.

“Done?” Chrome asked.

“Yes,” The Doctor replied.

“Where do we go now?” Chrome questioned.

“Wherever there are any evil aliens, I can just track them with the TARDIS computer,” The Doctor said, “It’s detecting something in this place called ‘Manehattan’, shall we get moving?” the Doctor asked, Chrome nodded and they took off to a new adventure.
