Meanwhile...

"Ow... I'm... I'm alive?!" Derpy says, not knowing where she was. "Doctor?! Doctor?! Twilight?!" Derpy slowly gets up, and looks around. "Manehattan..." She mumbles. "Hello?" She shouts. No response. "Hello?!" Still nothing. Derpy walks around the abandoned city, looking for signs of life, but finds none. "Wait... I'm alive?!" Derpy questions for the first time.

"Of course you are." A raspy voice says. Derpy turns around to see a badly beat-up male Pegasus. Both of his eyes were blackened, his nose was smeared in dried blood, his body had bumps, and bruises and cuts all over. And his wings were nearly torn off his body. His coat was a shade of blue.

"Oh, my God! What happened to you?!" Derpy asks.

"I... took the fall for you... I... used a Vortex Manipulator... Got you here, while the trip through the Void... was a little rough..." The stallion coughs, and a little blood comes out. "I... My name is... Captain Jack Harkness... And... You must be... Derpy Hooves..." The Captain coughs once more, and stumbles over to Derpy.

"Do you... Know where... the Doctor... Is...? I need.... the Doctor..."

"The Doctor? He's in Ponyville!"

"Good... Good... Derpy.... You're beautiful... Has anyone ever told you that?"

"N-not really, no..."

"Well, ponies should. Anyway... We need to run.... Angels... Angels everywhere..."

"What?!" Derpy grabs Jack as carefully as she could, and flew him up into the air. "The Angels are taking over Manehattan?"

"Yeah..."

Derpy continues to fly over the city, when she is knocked out of the air.

"Wahh!!!!" She cries as she falls to the ground, but manages to stop before she impacts.

"Who-?!"

"Well, well, well! If it isn't Derpy Hooves!"

"Who are you?!"

"I'm an enemy of the Doctor's! But you won't live long enough to know who!" The mystery enemy says as he again flies at Derpy. But this time, however, Derpy saw him coming, and ran a hoof into his face, dazing him, sending him spiraling off course.

"Ah! You little Derp!!!" The Pegasus yells as he rams his left side into one of the nearby buildings.

Derpy stops in mid-air for a second, but then shakes her head. "Who are you?! Enemy of the Doctor's, what enemy?!"

Before the Stallion can answer, a noise rips through the city.

RRRR!!!!! RRRR!!!! RRRR!!!! RRRR!!!!

"Hang on, Twilight!!!"

"To what?!"

"The TARDIS, of course!!"

The Doctor's and Twilight's voices ring throughout the night, a song to Derpy's ears. The TARDIS materializes with an explosion, a great fiery ball of red orange and TARDIS blue. A Diamond Dog looking creature bursts out of the TARDIS with Twilight by his side, holding out the slightly damaged Sonic Screwdriver.

"Hello, Master! I'm the Doctor, as you know, and I'll be seeing you, now!"

"That was the lamest pun ever, Doctor."

"Yes, I know, Twilight. Now, Derpy Hooves! So glad to see you're alive!!!" The man says with glee. This couldn't possibly be the Doctor, could it? The man leaves Twilight covering the mysterious Stallion in Magic, and walks over to Derpy.

"...D-Doctor?"

The Man smiles. "Hello, Derpy..."

"You've-... You've Regenerated?"

"In a way. I've reverted back to my Time Lord form. From before I came here. The Void must be opening even more. Which must explain why you're holding a Pony-fied version of Jack Harkness here?" The Doctor looks to the badly injured Pegasus still being held by Derpy.

Jack smiles. "Hello, Doctor..." He says, barley out-of-pitch from his usual charming, handsome voice. The Doctor smiles too, and turns to the Master, and pulls out his Sonic Screwdriver and activates it, causing the tip to glow and a "Whir" sound to ring in the area.

"Yup. This is definitely the Master. How did you get over here, in this Universe? One thing's for sure though," The Doctor starts walking around, still talking. "We need to get back to our home Universes. If we don't... Boom. So, on we go, Mares! We've still got to cause a Paradox!" The Doctor points to Twilight, who uses her Magic to lift the Master into the TARDIS. "Let's go, Derpy!" The Doctor pushes the TARDIS doors inward, despite the sign that clearly says "Pull outward," And Derpy then follows, along with Twilight.
