It was a normal day in Ponyville. The birds in Fluttershy's cottage were singing out melodies and Ms. Rarity is waking up to another of Sweetie Bell's cooking attempts. The apple family has a big harvest so they had been working slightly before dawn. Twilight Sparkle and Spike had been away on a leisure trip to the princesses. Rainbow Dash, cloud kicker and the rest of the ponies were controlling the weather for light showers. Pinkie pie is still asleep, as her last party contained too much apple cider. Everything seemed normal or unnoticeable in Ponyville.

Ditzy Doo's had done most of her mail route in Ponyville. John Smith and Carrot Top were watching Ditzy's children, her biological child Dinky and her adopted child Sparkler. on normal days, John Smith could relax and coach Sparkler's magic training, albeit he has no clue of how unicorn magic works. Unfortunally, this is not one of those days.

John Smith had recently been toying with a lot of appliances with Dinky. he had bought or borrowed many items, mainly from carrot Top to her disdain. He had what seemed to be ear muffles but it had black rubber yarn connecting the machine he created. It played various sounds but when Sparkler listened in, it was just static waving in pitch and volume.

"Come on baby, you can put out more", John said to his machine playing with a few buttons. "I know you can do it, I built you myself. Unless, ... Bah, the signals too weak. I'll have to try again tonight when they're less clouds. Won't make much difference but the signals weak enough as it is."

Sparkler had been practicing her levitation spell. She could pick up small objects like quills, papers and small book for long periods of time but it seemed like she would never be able to have magic like Twilight, rarity or even Lyra.

Dinky had been doing her homework. Ms. Cheerilee had assigned a history report on the Gryphon kingdom to the north. Over 800 years ago, the Gryphon Kingdom had entered a war on Equestria. For over 100 years, they had a bloody war. Until the battle of Canterlot, the Gryphons had the upper hand. After the war, most Gryphons were wiped out. Only roughly 100 live and under Celestia's care. Nopony knows exactly why they went in a war in the first place.

Carrot Top had just finished making daisy salad for everypony, including Ditzy when she got back. They decided to eat at the park, which was only a mere three minutes away. When they got there, it was very peaceful than normal. The light showers above the other half of the park made small rainbows and glistened the plants. Lyra's playing of the lyre was beautiful as ever. The warm blanket they brought felt good against their coats of fur. Everything was at peace or so they thought.

Out of nowhere a large feminine shriek filled the air. Everyone turned their heads to the noise except for Rainbow Dash who dived straight into the action. John Smith almost immediately took action after Rainbow Dash. "Stay with Auntie Carrot Top, I'm going to take a look"
John smith started galloping ahead. He was slower than the average pony, barely being able to catch up with Dinky when she wants to race, but he was getting the hang of running as a pony. He told everyone he hurt himself and was in a hospital for a long time, when somepony asks why he is so slow.

Everypony was following after him, including Carrot Top, Dinky and Sparkler. As soon as they seen what was going on, they ran out. The Doctor saw it before the crowds left, a Dalek, appearing disabled. It landed on Cloud Kicker, who was bloody with a broken wing, twisted leg and in a pool of her own blood.
