Corrupted life

Twilight strained her magic, sweat dripping down her face. Lifting more things at once was usually hard enough without those things constantly moving around. She could faintly hear Fluttershy's worried squeaks in the background as Spike tried to comfort her. It had been almost three days since she had gotten back and she had been rushing around to get everything on schedule. So far she had gotten almost two thirds of her fifth list done. She slowly set the little animals she had been levitating down and wiped the sweat from her brow.

"That’s all for now little ones." The small woodland creatures crowded around Twilight, cheering for more.

"We can practice again later if Fluttershy says it’s alright." The crowd of animals drifted over to Fluttershy shaking form. Spike made his way over to Twilight and congratulated her on her improvement.

"Princess Celestia’s going to love it!" He grinned at her and Twilight lifted her head with pride.

"Thank you Spike! I have to be at my best when she arrives with the delegates from Saddle Arabia! I can't belief she trusts me with the entertainment-"

"TWILIGHT!!! You have to come quick! It's an emergency!" Twilight looked up with surprise and worry at the rainbow mare that had run into her.

"Let's go!"

Colgate watched in surprise at the scene unfolding before her. Twilight was in the middle of town confronting another unicorn with an impressive show of magic. Colgate ducked quickly as an unbalanced Rainbow Dash flew over. She had gone out that morning before The Master or The Doctor woke up so that she could get some shopping done, but was blocked off by the odd crowd of people in the street. Her sense of adventure had told her to go check it out and so she had.

"Let's dual Trixie!" Twilight growled and the pony in question laughed.

"Excellent." A glow shot over the perimeter and all the ponies that had fallen victim to the unicorn magic turned back. That is, except for Pinkie Pie. Colgate shuddered momentarily and wondered how the poor thing could breath.

"DRAW!!" Colgate heard the unknown unicorn shout. A beam of red magic shot from her horn, hitting a nearby cart full of apples. She cart shot strait for a crowd of ponies not far way, scattering them. Colgate watched in horror as one of the mares in the group tripped, unable to get up to get out of the way. Colgate could faintly remember the mares name being Shoeshine.

A sudden burst of the well known purple magic belonging to the local librarian stopped the cart in its tracks. The cart was gently set down to the side, all apples in it set neatly. But as soon as the cart was put down, a cascade of pies shot towards Twilight. The quick thinking mare made a parasprite appear. The small creature ate all the pie in one mouthful and disappeared.

WAP

A thick layer of cold snow covered Colgate and she shivered. She was instantly warmed up by a blast of hot air that seemed to radiate off of Twilight that melted the sudden collapse of random snow.

Next, to every ponies delight and laughter, Trixie grew a foot long mustache.

"Snip, Snails, come over here!" The two colts went over and where covered in a red glow.

"An age spell?!" A chorus of gases came from any nearby unicorns including Colgate. She new for a fact that even Twilight couldn't do that. They had gone over it in magic class and Colgate had collapsed with exhaustion just from trying it. Now she watched as Twilight was beaten at her own game.  Twilight was picked up by a red glow and thrown towards the Everfree forest, but this feat was not seen by Colgate, for she had already begun to run in that direction as fast as she could. She began to charge up her magic to teleport there, but was slammed to a stop when horn met glass.

"OWWWW!!!" She shouted in pain and fell back. Looking up she could see that a huge magic glass dome had bubbled Ponyville off from the rest of the world. She of course was on the wrong side of it and now trapped with the rest of the small town’s residence. She started to bang against the glass, hoping that some pony would get her out of it. Maybe if she could contact The Master or The Doctor... Colgate’s mind suddenly struck a light bulb and her horn begun to glow.

RING, RING, RING.    RING, RING, RING.

“For the love of the cursed dead Galifrey, can't a Timelord get some sleep around here?!" The Doctor shouted, smashing a hoof against the blackened console. The TARDIS'S side groaned in protest, but held. A clank could be heard as The Doctor yanked the phone to his ear.

"I am afraid that this phone is out of order. If you want to talk to someone go look in the mirror!" The Doctor went to slam the phone down, but his hoof was caught by another.

"Who's on the phone Doctor?" The Master grumbled and The Doctor slammed the phone into The Master and stalked away. The Master scrambled for the phone that seemed to be trying and slip from his hooves before remembering that he was, in fact, a unicorn. The phone was levitated in a blue glow and traveled up to his ear.

"Hello, The Doctor's residence, Master speaking." an incoherent mumble of words came from the other end, just loud enough for The Master to make out the voice.

"Colgate? Is that you? Please try and speak louder."

Ponyville....Glass....needs help....a tree.....Twilight!

"Okay! I have no idea what you said but It sounds like your in trouble." A mumble came from the other end confirming his thoughts.

"Okay Colgate! I’ll find Twilight and then I’ll come to try and help you!" The Master set the phone back in its place and looked around.

"DOCTOR!!! Get your scrawny flank over here. We have to save Ponyville!" There was no respond so The Master galloped to the back of the TARDIS. To his amusement and annoyance The Doctor had seemed to get himself stuck in a rope, and his face flat on the floor from a previous fall. His wings shot up and down trying to get the rest of him free, but only managed to get him even more tangled.

"Doctor! Come on." The Master levitated the rope and quickly got The Doctor untangled. He then proceeded to levitate The Doctor, ignoring his protests, next to him and towards the door. The Master pushed the door open, coming face to face with a disheveled Twilight.

"Master! I need your help! Ponyville is-"

"Shut up grape! Nopony wants to hear you babble like an idiot all day! Get it over with and find another poor soul to help you!" The Doctor flailed and The Master started to lose his magic grasp. The burden of a full grown pony was lifted from him as a purple magic took over, slamming The Doctor into a tree with a loud thump.

"Don’t you Ever talk to me like that Again!" She stressed her point with another smack before conjuring up a rope and tying The Doctor up for the second time that day.

"Let’s go! It’s by time that some pony smacked some sense into him, but Colgate needs our help!" The Master looked back and noticed Twilights hesitation.

"Listen Master, Ponyville is trapped in a giant glass dome made of Trixie's magic. I have to go and train so that I might beat her and regain Ponyville. I need you to go see what you can do, but I can’t help right now. Good luck." And with that she was off, leaving The Doctor to drop to the ground.

"If you behave I might untie your mouth. Even if you are being a jerk, I may need your brain." The Master sighed as he picked The Doctor up once again and trudged on towards Ponyville.

Colgate's face light up when her friend came into sight. The Master trotted out of the forest followed by a floating Doctor who seemed to be tied up. She smashed against the glass again, causing magical waves to ripple away from the impact spot. She grinned widely as she looked at The Master, lost in thought for a moment. Before she had met The Master she had thought that her and The Doctor where the last time lords in existence. Now she was proved wrong by the magnificent stallion that came towards her. A blush crept over her cheeks as she caught her eyes drifting. A sudden connection of outside magic on her horn surprised Colgate. She tried to fight back weakly.

Calm down, its only me. Colgate blushed profusely as did The Master as she tried to block any drifting thoughts from the moment before.

I assume I wasn’t supposed to hear that?

"Sorry..."

I must agree that I am very sexy though...Never mind. Pretend that it never happened. Anyways, let’s get you out here.

The two got together a spell and activated it. Two large blasts of dark and light blue seemed to fly towards each other (probably because they were in fact flying towards each other.) Massive waves of red magic rolled away from impact point, much larger than the small ripples that Colgate had made on it earlier. A red flash erupted next to Colgate, but she ignored it, pouring all her concentration into the spell...

"WHAT ARE YOU BZZZZZ... DOING!!!!!!" A hoof hit Colgate full force under her horn, causing pain to break her concentration and making her fall to the ground. Her magic shut off, ending the ripples in the wall. The Master had apparently stopped his magic blast as well and was now banging against the glass.

Colgate watched thought bleary eyes as a blue unicorn came into her view. It was the same pony who she had seen before fighting Twilight. Although she was not wearing the cloak anymore, she still had the same amulet on. Colgate failed to notice that The Master had no short of a full out tantrum at seeing this. He started banging the glass like a maniac before going into a state of shock. Colgate didn’t see this though, and if she had, wouldn’t have been able to understand the event.

The unicorn mare shouted a few things that Colgate couldn’t quite distinguish and suddenly The Master was teleported to inside the glass, his legs half buried in the ground. Slowly her hearing came back to her and it went a little something like this...

"WHO DARES TO PASS ONTO TRIXIES TERRITORY!?! YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!"

"Actually you just let us in." A dangerous grin spread across the still tied up Doctors face. Colgate took a double take quickly, wondering how she had never noticed The Doctor had wings.

"And if I am correct, you are wearing the Alicorn amulet, right? I’m afraid I need that..." The Master grinned sheepishly and sweat beaded down his face which had come oddly close to Trixie.

"Are you saying you want this amulet?" Trixie said in a quiet calm voice that seemed to send chills down eve pony’s spine.

"And are you expecting me to let you go with it and keep Ponyville all to yourself?" she continued. Her voice dropping dramatically into a low growl and oddly enough a series of buzzing noises.

"And do you think that I, The great and powerful Trixie, am going to leave Ponyville without trouble?"

"Ah, well," The Master stuttered, his face growing pale. "I didn’t think you would be up for that much, but I would really appreciate the act. So if you wouldn’t mind..."

"YOU PONIES ARE *FOOLS** TO EVEN THINK YOU CAN BEAT ME AND FOR YOUR IDIOCY YOU WILL BE SENTANCED TO DEATH*!!!!!" Trixie screeched. Colgate moaned and held her hooves to her ears, quickly doing multiple double takes with her eyes. Did Trixie just turn black? It must have been imagination. But Colgate took another double take when she saw that Trixie magic had changed colors from red to green.

Now she watched a green glow capture The Master and The Doctor, making them disappear. Colgate only happened to notice this a moment before she disappeared as well.
