Looking down from one of the windows, he looked down towards Canterlot City. He inhaled softly, breathing in a heavy breath, as he watched several of the buildings and structures of the Capital City beginning to burn, blazing in the night as small bursts of blue light could be seen.

The door behind him opened, and into the room strode Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, and Princess Luna. His back was turned to them, but his eye looked to the side, gently turning his head to the side as well. All of them trotted across the floor, approaching him, but their exchanging looks were not courageous, and warm, but blank and worried. When they reached them, Twilight and Luna were the only ones to get any closer to him. Applejack and Rarity kept their distance, they both already had much to think about – Not just for the coming battle with the Daleks, but their endangered families who were caught in the middle.

He maintained a stern gaze on his face as Twilight and Luna trotted up beside him. They both looked towards him, wearing blank expressions on their faces.

‘’M-medic?’’ Twilight asked nervously, but he continued to stare out the window. His pupil turned to the right, looking towards her, before returning to looking out through the window, returning to looking out towards the city. His face contorting itself into an angered glare.

‘’We haven’t got much time, so I’m going to be quick and right to the point about this: Are everyone in position?’’ He asked. She opened her mouth to speak, but for a few seconds, it remained open, not uttering a single word.

‘’Yes. Everything has been prepared-‘’ she said, hesitating a little to continue speaking, as her mind thought about how she would continue from there. ‘’But I’m just not seeing how this plan is going to be effective against the Daleks. I mean, there has to be hundreds of them in the streets now, moving towards the castle. How are we going to compete with them?’’ She asked confused, he turned his head, looking towards her, meeting her eyes, as she stared back into his. ‘’If you doubt my plan, then you are free to leave, evacuate even – But I am not leaving. The Daleks will come here, and when they do, they will get in. Nothing can stop them, well, not anymore.’’ He said, she cracked a confused eyebrow, as she looked back towards him. ‘’How so? What was it that could stand against them?’’ She sat down, waiting for him to continue.

‘’The Crystal Lords. They were the only force that could hold them back, keep them under control, and hope to contend with them-‘’ He turned back, looking out the window. ‘’But now…they’re gone. They all died screaming in a violent inferno that lasted only a single second, and then…there was nothing, no war, no explosions, no screams, no death…just me: The One, or the Survivor if you want to be fancy, personally I don’t care for titles of grandeur, they don’t suit me anymore.’’ His eyes crossed, glaring angrily out of the window.

Twilight turned back towards Applejack, frowning worried – Before long, she heard him speak again, and she directed her attention back towards the Medic. ‘’Yes, Twilight – This is the best plan we’re going to have. And even if it wasn’t, we’d have nothing else.’’

‘’Y-yes...U-understood.’’ She replied nervously. Her head turned, looking out through the window, gazing down towards the city underneath.

Within a large control room, several half-spheres facing out from the wall, along the wall, started to light up, glowing as they bleeped loudly. Rotating it’s dome, one of the figures within the Control room, rotated it’s dome looking towards the screen in front of it’s eyestalk.

Out from the darkness, a blue light looked towards the Dalek. ‘’Report!?’’ It’s voice boomed loudly throughout the room. ‘’The Attack Squadron is approaching the target. They will be within range of our main target within fifty fifty rels.’’ It replied.

‘’And what of the device!?’’ It asked, gently moving it’s eyestalk in place.

‘’The device has not been re-located. It’s energy signature is still coming from it’s held location.’’ It replied, focusing it’s eyestalk lens, on the map, and fast-paced information that was being relayed to it.

‘’Excellent! Inform our scientists that they are to head for the battlefield! They will be first Daleks given full-access to the device!’’ It ordered, it’s eyestalk lens giving off a soft flash of hostile red.

‘’I obey.’’

*Fifteen minutes later*

‘’Quickly, quickly! Get inside!’’ Several guards shouted, motioning for whoever had managed to escape along with them, to hurry inside the doors. The door was very unlikely to stop their pursuers, but at best they would have to endure clearing a path through it before they could progress further through the city…at best.

Around the corner, the familiar shout of ‘’Exterminate!’’ caught their attention. They looked up, directing their attention behind them. Their bodies tensed, as their eyes looked behind them.

A soft exhale of breath came from one of the guards. The shadow of one of their pursuers could be seen approaching, meaning that their time to hurry inside had come. The shadow fell upon the ground, but still continued to move forward. Through the destroyed cracks in the wall, one of them caught sight of the weapon that their aggressors used to expel the deadly beam of energy that had ended the life of many of their comrades.

‘’Get down!’’ He shouted. Leaping forward towards one of the guards nearest to him. The figure approaching them, turned itself, poking it’s weapon in through the crack.

‘’Non-Dalek lifeforms detected!’’ It cried loudly. It’s body turned, shifting so that it looked in through one of the cracked walls, though, it’s vision was obstructed a little at the bottom, but it mattered not. It had already seen it’s target. It adjusted the aim of it’s gun stick, pointing it towards them. ‘’Exterminate! Exterminate!’’ It shouted.

‘’Oh no! You don’t!’’ A voice shouted. The Dalek’s dome rotated, looking it’s eyestalk around, as it tried to trace the voice to it’s origin.

While the Dalek was distracted by that unknown voice, the two guards took advantage of this opportunity, and rose back up to their hooves. They attempted to make a run for the doors, but the Dalek still had it’s gun stick pointed towards them. It’s internal computers detected movement. With quick movement, it rotated it’s dome back towards them, uttering, what had pretty much become a deadly catchphrase.

‘’Exterminate! Exterminate!’’ It shouted. The energy in it’s gun stick started to build, preparing to discharge a beam of instantaneous death towards them.

‘’Extermi-‘’ In a single second before it managed to finish speaking, up from underneath the cracked wall, a pink creature appeared. The Dalek’s scanners detected it’s presence, and it’s eyestalk rotated towards it, meeting it’s gaze. But even so, it would be much to slow to re-target this new enemy. Moving it’s body, trying to point it’s gun towards her - But she was much too quick for it, and acted before it could.

She swung her arm down towards it, and with a fast motion, inserted a broken piece of steel into the gun stick. Backing away as quickly as she could, when she was sure it was inserted deep enough. The building energy of the gun stick’s beam finally reached it’s point of being fired. The Dalek rotated it’s eyestalk towards the door, focusing it’s lens towards the two guards.

‘’Extermi-AHHHHH!’’ The Dalek’s entire mid-section of it’s upper body erupted into a violent release, that exploded from inside itself. Pieces of debris from it’s destroyed upper-body crashed down onto the ground – A piece of the already-cracked wall was caught in the explosion, destroying it further. Destroyed pieces of brick *chunked* against the wall, causing dust to fall.

When the smoke from the destroyed Dalek cleared, the two guards dared to return their gaze towards it. They were instantly startled when they saw that the Dalek was still there, but it wasn’t moving…It’s head was missing, and flames were emerging from within it’s destroyed remains, flickering amidst the night’s backdrop.

When the sound of their attacker, now in a much higher numbered quantity reached their ears, they perked up. A horrified look settled on their face, and they backed towards the door. They couldn’t waste another minute, they had to leave, and leave now.

Gliding down the road, the approaching group of Daleks, approached the destroyed remains of the lone Dalek soldier. All of them were adorned in the same colors, except for one, one of the Daleks in their midst adorned a black dome, and alternating dark and dark-grey skirt hemispheres. The ‘’Grunts’’ cleared the path for their superior to approach their deceased comrade.

The superior’s dome, rotated towards the dead Dalek. Looking it’s eyestalk lens towards it for several seconds. The superior’s dome rotated back, looking towards it’s Drones behind it.

‘’Squadron Leader, have this Drone’s armor taken back to Command for recycling!’’ It ordered.

‘’I obey!’’ The Drone rotated it’s dome towards the destroyed Dalek. It’s entire body turned itself to face the direction, and it started to approach the destroyed remnants of the destroyed Dalek.

The black-domed Dalek rotated it’s eyestalk towards another Dalek. ‘’Communications Dalek! Inform Taskforce Leader that we have arrived at an entrance! The entrance has been secured, but we require a Special Weapons Daleks to assist us!’’ It ordered.

‘’I obey!’’ The Dalek replied. On the Dalek’s back, two antennae were erected from a box unit on the Dalek’s back. ‘’Transmitting message now!’’ The Dalek spoke, several soft beeping noises started to sound from the strange (for lack of a better word) Dalek backpack.
