Return of the Master

"The- the Master... Doctor, what's gotten into you?!"

"I told you, I'm not the Doctor..." The Master walks over to Spike, and looks at him. "Why would the Doctor chose you as a companion? Pft. They're getting younger every time."

"H-hey!"

The Master turns away from Spike, and the moonlight finally allows Spike a good look at the stallion. He looked exactly like the Doctor, straight up to the hair style, granted a bit more messy, but instead of a green tie, he had a black Bow tie. His coat was grey, and his eyes were a cold, ice blue. Also unlike the Doctor, he was a Pegasus. His wings were nearly the size of Celestia's, if not smaller. When he looked at Spike, he went cold. The Master was definitely not friendly.

"Tell the Doctor this," The Master says, looking back at the purple dragon. He grabs one of Spike's spikes, and hold him up to his face....

The Doctor gives a loud, agonizing scream, the cause of which unknown, but yet he screamed. He screamed for about two minutes, before he calmed down and opened his eyes. "Well... That Ood- er- odd..." The Doctor says as Twilight rushes into the room, and sees the Doctor. She walks up to him, and lightly taps him on the shoulder. "Um... Yes, Twilight, I'm real... No need to act like a certain someone...."

"D-Doctor... You're alive... And you didn't regenerate..."

"I wouldn't say that. This body, my eleventh, has been in use for over 400 years... I still need to face a prophecy... 'The fall of the Eleventh'..." He looks out the window to the town square, where the TARDIS sits. He closes his eyes and sighs. "Something's wrong. Derpy!!!!" The Doctor rushes out of the bed, and drags Twilight along with him to where Derpy was sitting in the living room.

"D-Doctor-!"

"Yes, yes, I'm alive. C'mon! Something's wrong! Come along, mares!"

"Doctor!" Derpy shouts as the Doctor puts on his tie, placing the Sonic Screwdriver in the collar, and dragging his companions out the door. "Doctor, what the hay is going on?!" Derpy asks. The Doctor runs to the TARDIS, and fumbles with the key, which falls to the ground. Twilight sighs, and places the key in the lock, and opens the door. The Doctor thanks her, and rushes in to find a puff of smoke flying out behind them, and little Spike laying on the floor.

"Spike!!!" Twilight gasps. She runs over to her friend, and checks his heartbeat.

There was none.

"No!! Spike!! Doctor, do something!!!" Twilight begs the Doctor, who rushes over to Spike and scans him with the Screwdriver.

"Get him to the Zero Room. We can still save him."

Twilight rushes to get Spike levitating, and looks to the Doctor. "Follow me." The stallion says, and rushes ahead of Twilight, who runs after him. "Derpy! Keep watch in case something goes wrong!" The Doctor yells as he runs and turns to the left, stops, and turns around. "Wrong way!" He yells, half laughing and half mumbling in embarrassment. "The Zero Room should be just beyond the pool, and across from the Billiards room!"

"Look at the small Doctor... Rushing around in his little blue box trying to save his friend... It's too late now, but he can try." The Master gives a small laugh. He was flying above the console room in the TARDIS, hiding among the shadows. The new grey coat helped, of course. Some parts of this new pony form was borrowed from ponies that the Doctor came to know from his time in Ponyville.

Derpy's grey coat, Celestia's wings, though the fob watch Cutie Mark, that was his own doing. He had taken form from the Doctor's dark side, much like the Valeyard, though he is not the Doctor.

The Master floated down, barely making a sound. Derpy didn't hear him, not even turning around. He slowly walked up to her, the moonlight reflecting off of her grey coat and blonde mane. He understood why the Doctor took a fancy towards her, though, personally, he can do better.

He was now right behind her. He taps the grey mare on the back, causing her to jump and turn around. Thanks to her shadow, the darkness of the console room and his grey coat, she barely saw a difference between him and the Doctor. The Master kept his wings close to his body, and made sure to keep them hidden. "D-Doctor...? When did you... How did you...? What?"

Derpy looks to the stallion.

And he laughs.

"Let's see how the Doctor fares with only a bookworm to rely on..."
