Derpy?!

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

"Derpy!!! NO!!!!" The Doctor yells with tears running down his cheeks. The Doctor looks over the ledge, and sees only rooftops. "Time should have reset by now... Why hasn't Time reset?! WHY?!?!" The Doctor sighs, and hops over the edge.

"Doctor!" Twilight yells after him.

The Doctor grabs a ledge and swings down to the next one, until he reaches the ground. "Derpy?! You down here?!" He pulls out his Sonic Screwdriver and scans for life, not finding any. "No, no, no, no! Derpy?!?! DERPY!!?!!?!" The Doctor frantically runs around the nearby area, but finds nopony.

"No! No! NO! DERPY!!!! DERPY!!!!!!"

Twilight suddenly appears next to him in a flash of purple light. "Doctor, where's Derpy?!"

"I don't know! She's nowhere to be found!"

"You don't think an Angel got her, do you?!"

"No, no, no, no! Derpy!!" The Doctor is obviously distraught, still looking around for his companion. "I've got to find her!" The Doctor runs off, with Twilight close behind him. The Doctor continues to shout for Derpy, with Twilight trying to pick up her life force with her magic. They run into an ally way, and the Doctor steps in front of Twilight.

"Go, Twilight! GO!" The Doctor yells.

Twilight runs off, leaving the Doctor with an Angel. "What have you done to her?!" The Doctor yells. "Tell me!!! What did you do to her!!!! I'm talking to a statue, I'm mad!" The Doctor trots over to the Angel, and stares it directly in the eyes. "What I'm doing now would kill me. If I didn't do this." The Doctor reaches the Sonic Screwdriver up, and uses it to slice a stone off one of the nearby buildings, causing it to damage the Angel, but saving the Doctor.

He runs off, trying to catch up to Twilight. "Twilight! Where are you?!"

"Twilight..." The Doctor suddenly feels woozy, and stumbles over, landing flat on his face.


Ugh... Where...

Where am I?!

Why can't I see?! Right, the Angel is killing me. Well... That was a stupid idea. I would be smacked silly by Amy if she was still here...

"Hello?!" The Doctor says through blindness. He doesn't get a response other than a hoof coming down hard on his skull. The Doctor screams in pain. "AHHH! Who are you?!" The Doctor asks again. His assailant laughs, and drives a hoof straight into his snout, breaking it.

"Oh, you'd like me to tell you... Doctor..."

"Who... Are.... You..?"

The Mystery Stallion does a quick 4-beat tap.

"M-Master... How?!"

"Ha! You expect me to tell you?! YOU?!"

"What do you want with Equestria?..."

"What I want? Hmm... How about, I dunno, it gone?!" The Master drives yet another hoof into the Doctor's skull.

"Master, stop this! What do you have against Equestria?!"

"Nothing. It's just... Boring. Now, I have some... business... to attend to." The Master releases the Doctor from the restraints holding him back, and falls to the ground.

"How... did you come back?! I saw you die... You stopped Rassilion... The Time Lords..."

"... I lost my body. Not my life. I took over to body of an old man, and forced the Time Lord genes in me to take over his Human ones, and trigger Regeneration into a new body. Then I crossed over the void by accident, and popped out here. Now, if you'll excuse me, Doctor..." The Master walks out.

The Doctor lays there for a few seconds with his eyes closed, not letting the Angel out of his mind.

"... I... Don't.... Want to.... Go..." His body starts glowing a great golden red, and as the Doctor takes a final breath, the Regeneration starts.
