(Author's Notes: I have never watched Doctor Who. When describing his character I went by the Wiki.)

Brushie, brushie, brushie. Ya know, for the crazy foal Colgate was, she sure know how to make a good toothbrush. I spat out the toothpaste in my mouth and rinsed it out with some water. I then flashed myself a smile in the mirror, perfect pearly whites. After spending some time reflecting on the can, I went back into my room and opened my closet. I quickly found my favorite red jacket and slipped it on. Turning around, I came face to face with a Wonderbolts poster I had hung on the wall when I first started living here. Maybe become the number one assassin could get me the recognition I needed to get in. I stood up on my hind legs and put my fore hooves on the poster.
"So...awesome!"

I trotted out to the living room of my motel and let out a satisfied sigh. The room is assorted with a shelf of various action figures of past Wonderbolts and movie stars, a giant model robot stands beside the shelf, beside that is a mini fridge, my TV rests on the other side of the room with a collection of... personal videos, and a small chair sits in the center of the room.

I give my motel room one last glance before I step outside and lock the door behind me. I had planned on visiting Soarin' at a video store that he had bought with the bits he'd gotten in his career as a Wonderbolt, but for some reason there was a white limo blocking the exit of the parking lot. I gritted my teeth and started to approach the limo.

Before I could give the driver a piece of my mind, the door opened and a familiar buttercup hoof gestured me inside. I hopped in immediately and glanced over Fluttershy. Yep, still a bombshell.

"The next fight is ready. His name is Dr. Whooves," Fluttershy said as I continued to look her over.

"A doctor huh? What's he gonna do, load me down with bills?" I chuckled.

"More like a detective. A mysterious and unscrupulous detective with many rumors about him. Some say he can change his appearance at will, others say he can travel through time. He's a trained assassin, and he's worked for some infamous underground figures. He's good," Fluttershy explained as my eyes ran up her legs. I tilted my head to the side for a better view and was rewarded with a hoof to my head. Ok, so maybe I deserved that, but it's not like I wouldn't get the full view sooner or later. I rubbed the top of my head with a hoof and felt a small bump starting to form. Fluttershy's face showed a hint of red and she was clearly frustrated.

"You're not going to stand a chance against him. You might as well go home and sleep it off," she said and crossed her forelegs.

"C'mon, don't be like that. I'm sorry alright?" I responded and gave a small pout.

"Oh, fine. You just need to transfer 150,000 bits and -" she started before I interrupted her.

"What!? 150,000 bits? Are you serious?" I retorted.

"Yes, that covers your entry fee, my costs... What? Don't tell me you expected this was all some free ride?" she smirked. Now something here just didn't make sense. I got to kill the first mare and that Colgate mare without a fee. Now I have to pay to kill somepony? Shouldn't this be the other way around?

"OK. Gotcha. Good thing Colgate was so loaded," I laughed.

"Y-you stole from her!?" Fluttershy exclaimed with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Hey! You said 'how about some money or brushes' when I won remember? So I took both. Mare makes a damn good brush by the way," I said as I flashed my pearly whites at her. Fluttershy just rolled her eyes and the next thing I knew, I was laid out on the sidewalk. She bucked me out of the limo.

"Hey! Your treat all of your 'clients' like that!?" I shouted, but it was too late. The limo was already out of earshot. Well good. I like them feisty. After dusting myself off, I made my way to the ATM and transferred the bits. After being robbed of my bits, I trotted across the street to one of my favorite stores in Stallin' Destroy, Soarin' Rentals.

"Hey, Hey! Rainbow," I was greeted by the one and only Soarin', retiree of the Wonderbolts. He used his career bits to start up a video shop and 'live out a chill life' as he put it. Now I use the word retired very lightly, it's not like Soarin' was some old geezer waiting for death to snuff him out. Not at all, he was still pretty young and still smokin' hot.

"So Soarin', got anything new?" I asked and leaned over the counter, giving him my best bedroom eyes. I found out fast that Soarin' liked to mingle with the fillies, meaning it wasn't that hard to get myself a discount with just a glance.

"Sure do," he chimed. "Manehatten pie fest '11 and Fistful of Pie."

He slapped two DVDs on the counter and smiled happily. I just rolled my eyes and tapped the counter with my hoof. A few moments later and he started chuckling to himself and pulled a third DVD out and slid it to me. The box was covered with three white X's on it, not that's more like it.

"Put it on my tab," I said as I exited the store.

"Sure thing, come back soon babe," I heard over my shoulder as I left.
* * *

Back I my motel, it had become a habit to check my answering machine as soon as I got home, sure enough the red light was blinking. I hit the machine with my hoof and it crackled to life.

"The next fight is ready Rainbow. Dr. Whooves will wait for you at Destroy Stadium," Fluttershy's voice sounded. The stadium, huh? Not a bad place for a fight to the death. I moved to my bed and slid out the dresser underneath. I secured my katana strap to my hoof and hung Blood Berry from my jacket.

I exited my room and found my tortoise sitting on my small futon and looking up at me with a worried expression. I trotted over to him and ran a hoof over his shell before giving him a pat on the head.

"Don't give that look Tank, I'll be back soon alright?" I said with a smile. Tank slowly smiled back and let out a groan. I chuckled to myself and exited my motel. Whistling a familiar tune to myself, I trotted down the steps and swung my hind leg over Schpeltiger. I twisted the keys and gave the throttle a sharp pull. Schpeltiger with a loud roar and I speed out of the parking lot.

The streets of Stallin Destroy could be hard to navigate for an outsider, but to a seasoned vet like myself it was fillies play. I weaved through cars and used alleyways as shortcuts as I sped through the streets. Destroy Stadium wasn't too far away from the motel, so it didn't take to long for me to reach the place. I took a look around the parking lot and not a single vehicle was in sight, there goes my hopes for an audience.

Inside, I found guards with the same mediocre skills as Colgate's guards. This time they wore hoofball uniforms instead of suits. I challenged to a hoofball game though. Some stallion thought he was hot stuff and launched a ball he set on fire at me. He made a pretty funny face when I smacked it back at him with Blood Berry. After the fillies had been put to bed, I heard my bluetooth ring.

"Rainbow? It's Fluttershy again. I just wanted to let you know that the fight will begin as soon as you step onto the field. Win, and you will move up to number nine. Lose, well, you really shouldn't think like that now should you? Trust your loyalty... And head for the Garden of Madness."

I'm beginning to notice she's a lot calmer over the phone than in pony, and what was up with that pep talk? Where was the red zone? The eye of the tiger? What a cop out. Whatever, I turned my headset off and approached the double doors that led to the field. Before I opened the doors however, I stopped. Was that a voice? Was that... Singing? I pushed open the doors and stepped outside.

The stadium was huge. Sure it looked big from the outside and even from the seats, but you really had to be on the field for it to hit you. The first stars of the night sky were just starting to peak from the cosmos and the sun gave its farewell for the day. Tall and powerful stadium lights kept the field lit and the darkness at bay. A lone stallion stood on the pitcher's mound. His fur was a light brown from what I could see and his mane was a darker tone of brown. As I got closer I could pick out his cutie mark to be and hourglass, the same as that Colgate mare.
When the Wind Blows, a Virgin Filly Comes Sing A Song.

Such a Pretty Melody Never Heard Before.

No More Lullabies.

The Virgin just as the Night.

Maybe I felt sorry for the old stallion, maybe I actually enjoyed it. I can't say for sure, but I found myself stopping my hoofs for the pony.

"Thank you, thank you. Very generous of you."

"Nice set of pipes you got there old stallion," I responded.

"It has always been my dream to preform and a gentlecolt from the Association told me I had just that chance tonight. How could one refuse?" he stated as he gestured to the stadium around us. Wait, how did he get the Association get the bits for this?

"One of my associates called the other day and I met my past incarnation's partner's granddaughter. We dined at a fancy restaurant... One of those in Canterlot that are impossible to get a reservation for," he continued.

"Who got you the reservation then?" I asked.

"The Association of course," he responded, confirming my suspicions.

"How was the food? Good I hope?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, the atmosphere was less that desired. The granddaughter couldn't bring herself to strike up a conversation. She didn't know me and I didn't know her. Everyone I knew in my past life had been taken by time. The food you ask? Tasted like blood...," he answered sourly.

"You like blood don't you, old stallion?" I questioned.

"Sadly, I can't disagree. I found this monster inside me after each incarnation. You're like me, are you not?" He questioned back.

"You got that right, now how about we get started?" I taunted.

"Don't die too quickly now. I want to savor this." He rose to my taunted and held up a golden gun strapped to his hoof.

"This is the feeling I've been looking for. My paradise. Nothing's more awesome," I said mostly to myself. I took a batting stance on home plate and got ready to play some ball. I heard the doctor mumble something to himself before he squeezed the trigger. I felt my blade contact with his bullet, but I didn't expect the explosion that sent me recoiling backwards. I slammed into the dense padding and left a crater in the material.

It was on now. I pulled myself out of the padding and shook my head a few times. Damn, wasn't gonna make that mistake again. Before I could take my first step forward however, the doctor released a torrent of bullets in my direction. I instantly rolled to my left and tore at the ground with my hooves as I ran in an arc to get closer. The old stallion took a moment to catch on, but he aimed his gun ahead of my path and sent off a round. I had been expecting this though and rolled back the opposite way.

He then twirled his gun around his hoof and raised his arm in the air, I waited for him to fire, not making any sudden movements. In the corner of my eye, I notice the glint of metal. He had another gun in his other hoof. I crack split the air and I let my body drop and hit the ground. I felt a burning in my left shoulder and held back a sharp cry that threatened to escape my lips. Instead I turned that cry into a growl and charged forward. Bullets tore at the ground below me, but I was too fast. I flung my body left and right, clung to the ground and launched myself into the air as I dodged the relentless onslaught of gunpowder and steel.

I quickly closed the distance between the old stallion and myself. I let Blood Berry cut through the air and caught the doctor's left hoof in my blade before he could jump backwards. Blood Berry's beam left the doctor's hoof scorched and blackened. The doctor then used his other gun to force me back.

We gave each other the same death glare and slowly hilted both of our weapons. If he wanted a Mexicolt standoff, then he would get a Mexicolt standoff. Little did he know that I was the fastest in Equestria, and I planned to prove it.

"Don't overestimate yourself," he mocked.

"Playtime is over," I retorted.

Seconds stretched for what seemed like hours. Our eyes were locked together, our bodies were tense and ready to strike. A bead of sweat ran down my face. The doctor let out a slow breath. The pain in my shoulder throbbed, but I pushed it to the back of my mind. The hum of stage lights sounded in the background and their light illuminated the two of us. Right now, we were warriors without and audience. We didn't need any reason to battle except for that fact that there were still two bodies standing.

Then he made a move. His hoof gave the slightest twitch and I raised my katana. His gun lifted and lined up with my head, but he was too slow. Blood Berry flickered to live and I felt the carving of flesh at the end of my hoof. An arch of blood was spilt on the ground in my slash and the doctor took to his knees.

I slowly turned around and picked up the fallen microphone. The doctor clutched his chest as his life spilt and pooled at the ground below him. I held the microphone closer to his mouth and let him speak his last words.

"In my next life, I know I'll make some true friends and never be alone again. Wait for me, my friends...," He whispered into the microphone before collapsing. I then lifted the microphone to my own lips.

"There are plenty of ponies down it hell. Make all the friends you want down there," I said, giving closure to the battle, but something was still missing. The fight was everything I could have wanted, but now. Something felt incomplete. Like I was still missing a vital part of myself.

"G-good job Rainbow Dash. You're number nine now," I heard a timid voice sound from behind me. I turned around to find Fluttershy holding a megaphone with the two clean up stallions behind her.

"Not even a challenge," I said and headed towards the exit.

"What's wrong? You won, shouldn't you be happier?" Fluttershy asked, sounding almost motherly.

"Just call me when the next one is ready," I answered.
