Chapter 15: The Hand of Omega

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Back in the Throne room, the rest of the Element Bearers watched as he paced back and forth. Outside, the light from the flames penetrated the glass, and shined inside the room. He resisted the urge to turn his head, and look out, and look down upon the city of Canterlot.

His eyes were not blinking, and he was getting more and more frustrated, as every second passed by him.

From where she was standing, Applejack, was clearly able to see that he was mouthing something, as he kept opening and closing his mouth, but not speaking any words.

‘’What in tardernation’ is he doin’?’’ Applejack asked. The others turned and looked at her. ‘’I mean, if he’s such a great expert at fightin’ these here Daleks, and judgein’ from what Twilight told us about him bein’ so smart with strategies, then why aren’t we winnin’?’’

‘’I don’t know, darling. Not everything can be expected to go according to plan, things change, and we mustn’t forget something important about the Daleks – They are much more advanced than us, Equestrians. If they wanted to, they could have even attacked us from space, assuming their technological capabilities are so great.’’ Rarity said. She turned, and looked back towards him. ‘’But if there is one thing I can relate to, is that something on a scale such as this must be very stressful for someone. I’ve never seen anypony under such stress, unless it was me planning a hundred dresses.’’

They turned, and looked back towards him. He put a hoof up to his mouth, deeply thinking the situation over, as recently, there had been no reports from any of the outer defense lines. This worried him, worried him greatly.

‘’If making a dress is simple, then imagine what leading a war must be like.’’ Rarity said. The others looked down, but Rarity continued to look towards him. Somehow, very faintly, she could relate to what he had to do…Minus of course, the death and destruction.

‘’Oh, if you think this is a war, then you have yet to truly experience it.’’ A voice spoke. All of them turned, looking towards the source of the voice. They were meet, however, with his blank, angrily frowning face. ‘’This, all of this-‘’ He said, waving his hoof around the room.

But as his eyes looked back towards them, he found that he couldn’t continue that sentence. He closed his mouth, and lowered his hoof back down onto the floor. His eyes looked down, and his frown returned, re-settling itself upon his face.

‘’No. Never mind.’’ He said, turning himself away from them, and looked back out the window. The light of the flames, once again, falling upon his face, as he stood in place.

Applejack opened her mouth to speak…

‘’Actually, sugarcube, it would be-‘’ But she was interrupted by Rarity putting a hoof to her mouth. She turned, looking back into Rarity’s face, meeting her disapproving glare. She shook her head, while mouthing the words ‘’No.’’ to her.

Applejack’s pupils looked back towards him, as he stood there by himself. He, whom was silently, looking down upon the burning city underneath them. It’s flames caught high, and illuminating the night, as it prolonged itself.

‘’What about this situation with the sun?’’ Applejack asked, breaking the ice. The others turned towards her. ‘’I mean, we haven’t seen a hint of daylight, ever since the Princess’ passing. I doubt that these ere’ Daleks will be able to do much, or even control Equestria if the sun is down.’’ Applejack said.

Rarity gasped, putting a hoof to her mouth.

‘’You’re right! Even if the Daleks conquer Canterlot, there will be nothing for the enslaved population to grow in order to warm themselves, or even grow food.’’ Rarity said.

‘’You’re all wrong.’’ He spoke up again. Rarity and Applejack turned, looking towards him. ‘’If the sun still exists, then the Daleks most likely harvest it’s energy, and use it to create light…But the light provided will not be organic, it will be electronic, technological-‘’ He turned his head to the side. ‘’You…will never see the sun again.’’

The ground, suddenly, shook violently, again. It dissipated like all the rest, but this was just an indication that things had not improved, in fact, judging from how close it was, there was no doubt that it wouldn’t be long before the Daleks started making their advance on the Throne room itself.

‘’They’re getting closer.’’ He said, turning himself around, and facing the others. ‘’Are you ready?’’ He asked them.

‘’Are ya kiddin’ me? We would’ ave joined the battle if at all possible-‘’

‘’No!’’ He suddenly shouted towards her, startling her, causing her to jump back. ‘’No. You may be old enough to join up, but that doesn’t always mean that you’re mature enough to handle the consequences of such a choice.’’ He glared, angrily. ‘’If Equestria is left without a Princess, then Twilight, you, and the other leaders will need to have an understanding. Intentions may start out, but over time power corrupts even the most well-hearted of individuals.’’ He said, turning away from the Element Bearers, directing his attention towards the two large doors.

Down the hallway, a large group of individuals moved down along the hallway. They passed by the motionless body of the mare that had suffered injuries to her legs, and had fallen unconscious while resting.

Shadows fell upon the wall, as something arrived at the door to the Throne room.

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!* something tapped against the door from the other side.

‘’W-what is that!?’’ Rarity exclaimed, as her ears perked up, hearing the first three strange taps against the door.

Inhaling a deep breath, he softly exhaled it out. Opening his eyes, again, and looking towards the door.

‘’They’re here. They’ve arrived.’’ He said.

‘’Eh, excuse me for a moment. But, eh, let me ask a simple question: Would Daleks bother knocking?’’ Rainbow Dash asked. In response to this question, he froze, becoming motionless, gaining a terrified expression on his face.

‘’N-…No.’’ He replied.

‘’Then…who’s-‘’ Pinkie Pie asked, slowly turning her head towards the door.

From outside the door, there was a brief sound of magical discharge.

Suddenly, another discharge of magical energy entered into the room. Standing beside each other was a lavender Unicorn, and a blue Alicorn.

‘’Twili-‘’ Pinkie Pie exclaimed, happily, but before she could finish, Twilight stopped panting heavily for a moment, and instead turned her head towards the Medic. Glaring angrily at him.

‘’The next time…you hear us, y-you’ll o-open…t-that-‘’

*Pound! Pound!*

They all, suddenly, turned to look towards the door. Everyone in the room, except the Medic’s eyes widened in terror, as they looked towards it.

On the other side of the door, several figures approached the door. They looked blindly, towards it, raising their left appendages up, and aiming them towards the door’s hinges.

‘’Fire!’’ A booming voice spoke from outside the door. Like them, his eyes too, finally widened as fright settled on his face.

He turned towards the other, and opened his mouth to warn them.

‘’Medic! Use that Sonic…Screw-thingy on the door! Make it strong against lasers!’’ Rainbow Dash shouted towards him.

‘’It doesn’t work on wood, Dashie!’’ He shouted back. Turning his head, but not taking his eyes away from the door.

‘’Everypony, duck! Hit the dirt!’’ He shouted towards them.

‘’Whoa nilly!’’ Applejack exclaimed, as she jumped down onto the floor. ‘’Get down!’’ Twilight shouted, as she too, got down on the floor. They all did.

From behind the door, there was a sound of several energy beams being fired. The door’s hinges shattered, as struck by something. It’s pieces scattered down onto the floor.

‘’Here it comes!’’ Rarity shouted.

Slowly, the two doors started to fall down, leaning forward towards them, slowly, falling forward. She yelped, digging her face into her hooves, away from the large, wooden forms.

*BAM!* *Clunk!*

Nervously, she raised her face, looking her eyes out in front of her to see that it hadn’t hit her. As she got a good perspective of the floor and the collapse point where the doors had fallen, she saw that they had landed down onto the floor, maybe a hoof-length away from her face.

‘’Oh my, that could have gone badly.’’ She remarked – But as she looked up past the door, her relief feigned, and she was instead overtaken with fear, especially since she was facing this by herself.

Once the doors were down, and lay completely motionless on the floor, they started to enter into the Throne room. Rows upon rows upon rows of Daleks moved up along the floor, entering inside the chamber. Rarity, silently observed their advance, watching horrified, as the dark-grey Daleks surrounded them.

‘’Stay where you are! Do not move!’’ One of the Daleks shouted. ‘’You are our prisoner! Do not move! You are our prisoner! Do not move!’’ Another instructed, harshly.

Lifting their heads up, the rest of the group looked up/out in front of them, as the others caught sight of the Daleks, they froze in place.

‘’Remain calm, Twilight Sparkle. If we weren’t useful to them in some way, we would be dead by now.’’ Luna said. The others stood up, but they remained absolutely still in place. They would not dare to antagonize the Daleks, especially, if they were in such a vulnerable position such as this.

Looking up from the floor, his eyes caught sight of a Dalek that stood right in front of him. He looked up even further, meeting the Dalek’s eyestalk, but not daring to move an inch, as it’s gunstick was focused on him.

‘’You will stand! Stand!’’ The Dalek ordered. Reluctantly, he lifted himself up off the floor, but he crawled back towards the others. ‘’Halt!’’ The Dalek shouted, but before the other Daleks were able to interject into the situation, and escalate it too much worse heights, he bumped, gently, against Twilight, causing her to stagger slightly forward. ‘’Hey, watch it!’’ A voice called out from group, though, he wasn’t able to differentiate it enough to see whom it belonged to.

‘’M-M-Medic?’’ Rarity spoke, nervously. The Dalek next to the one that stood in front of her, rotated it’s dome, lowering it’s eyestalk, and looking it down towards her.

‘’Don’t worry. They won’t harm us, as long as we don’t try to attack them.’’ He replied, instructing to the rest of the group. ‘’Trust me and the Princess, if we were useless to them…we would already be dead.’’

Out from the open space that was left from the doors, another swarm of Daleks glide along the floor as they entered inside, but unlike previously, when they were nothing but regular Drones, these new arrivals were being led by the slightly golden Dalek from before. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity, especially, dropped their mouths, as they caught notice of this new Dalek’ arrival.

It approached them, looking it’s eyestalk around the room. It’s lens looked towards the stained glass windows, the throne, holding it’s gaze on it for a long while, and finally, towards the prisoners secured within the large room.

Silently, without uttering a word, it moved up towards them. It looked it’s eyestalk down towards them, running the light from it’s lens over each of them, slowly.

‘’I-is that their leader?’’ Rarity, looking her eyes towards the ‘’golden’’ Dalek.

‘’No. This is not the big boss, this is an Elite Commander, the most veteran of all Daleks. This assault must be really important if it’s being supervised by one of them.’’

He turned, looking back towards Rarity’s beginning-to-get-nervous face. She gulped.

Turning itself around, but stopping mid-way, and rotating it’s eyestalk back towards the largest chunk of their forces at the door.

The Daleks all started to part ways, separating in the middle to form an open space.

Gliding down along the floor, and moving out from behind the parted Dalek forces, an almost regular-looking Dalek moved out towards the golden Dalek, but with this one, there were some really noticeable changes from the regular Drones that had been encountered throughout the entire invasion, even from the golden Dalek that had entered the Throne room a minute ago.

It’s base was taller, and slightly thicker than the average Dalek, with golden bumps on it’s red skirt section, and it’s upper body was black, with golden clamps, completely dark vertical panels, atop it’s dome it had orange dome lights, along with an additional dome light on the back, although, oddly enough it was black like the rest of the dome.

‘’I…have arrived!’’ It’s voice boomed throughout the Throne room. The golden Dalek turned back, looking out towards the Daleks and captured ponies.

‘’That…is their leader. The Supreme Dalek, itself.’’ He said, turning his head, and looking towards Twilight. ‘’This...is my final failure.’’

‘’Correct, Medic!’’ The voice of the Supreme Dalek boomed softly, as it approached them. Lowering it’s Manipulator arm down, pointing it towards him. ‘’Many have sacrificed their lives to get us to this point, but their sacrifices will not have been in vain, as now…we will finally fulfill our purpose, and take our rightful place as the new dominant race to inhabit this planet!’’ The Supreme said.

It’s third dome light glowed like the others, but this one seemed to glow a darker shade of orange than the other. There was some strange about this dome light that made Twilight feel un-easy. It wasn’t…normal, somehow. The Supreme turned, gliding across the floor towards the stained glass window – The Drones moved out of it’s way, allowing it to get closer. It came to a halt, lowering it’s eyestalk down, and looking out towards the city underneath.

‘’Even as we speak, Medic, your scattered and diminishing forces are being wiped out by my soldiers! This city, this stronghold will become ours!’’

‘’Don’t you do anything but kill!?’’ Twilight shouted towards the Supreme. It turned itself around, facing it’s body towards her. It raised it’s gunstick, pointing it towards her.

‘’You will address the Supreme Dalek, only when instructed to do so!’’ The gold Dalek shouted towards her.

It moved up towards the group, raised, and aimed the gunstick towards her. ‘’Extermi-‘’ it spoke.

‘’No!’’ He cried, jumping up to his hooves.

‘’Medic!’’ Twilight shouted.

‘’Hold your fire!’’ The Supreme ordered. Turning itself around, and looked back towards the group. It’s lens light being illuminated upon them.

The Drone powered down it’s gunstick. Backing a little away from the Medic. The Medic’s glare followed the Dalek, watching it, as it didn’t avert it’s eye from him.

Finally, he turned back, looking towards Rarity. He extended a hoof and helped her to her hooves.

‘’Are you all right, Rarity?’’ He asked, concerned. She looked her head towards him, giving a gentle nod in reply. ‘’I-I’m fine. A little bit shaken, but otherwise…nothing.’’

He turned, looking towards the Supreme Dalek. Shooting it a rather nasty glare.

‘’I know how you work.’’ He said. ‘’You never keep anyone alive unless-‘’

‘’You are useful to us! Yes, you are correct!’’ The Supreme interrupted, speaking with almost a glee of delight in it’s voice. ‘’You truly are the Medic!’’ It said, hinting at delight in it’s voice.

‘’How did you survive the Time War!?’’ The gold Dalek asked. He turned, looking his eyes towards the Supreme’s Second-In Command.

‘’By fighting you lot.’’ The Medic, said. The surrounding Daleks backed a little away from him. ‘’I’ve killed hundreds of Daleks, maybe thousands. I don’t remember anymore, the war took so much from both sides-‘’ He trotted forward, towards the Supreme, looking towards the other Daleks in the room.

As he got much too close to the Supreme, several of the Drones raised their gunsticks, pointing them towards him. But they did not fire.

He stopped in front of the Supreme, staring up into it’s eyestalk. ‘’So…the big question that’s been on my mind for such a long while is this. The Daleks, survivors of the most devastating war ever to befall their kind, why have they not simply fled the planet? You must have space travel capabilities, do you not?’’ He asked, growing more and more excited by the minute.

‘’That is correct-!’’ The Second-In Command answered.

‘’Righty ‘O. Good boy!’’ He exclaimed, waving his hoof towards the gold Dalek in an approved manner, trotting away from the Supreme, and approaching the Second-In Command. He stopped, positioning himself in front of the eyestalk lens. ‘’Now, what I want to know is this: Why? Why exactly this planet? There are many others more suitable, and containing much more precious value.’’ He said. ‘’So…Why this planet? Why Ponies? Why Equestria?’’ He asked, staring waiting into the Second-In Command’s eyestalk.

‘’T-this planet…is weak! It will fall easily to the Daleks!’’ The Second-In Command replied.

‘’Then why haven’t you just conquered it? Your ship, it must have enough firepower to lay waste to Equestria’s forces.’’ He, immediately, asked it back.

The Second-In Command didn’t reply.

‘’What? I didn’t hear that.’’ He said, taking a few steps closer. Leaning his head in, and putting a hoof up to his ear. But the Dalek, still, refused to respond.

It instead, rotated it’s dome towards the Supreme. Noticing this, he turned his head, his eyes, following it to where it was looking. A soft smile settled on his face, in a sort of grimacey way.

‘’Ah, looking to the big boss for answers. Typical-‘’ He said, turning away – He quickly turned himself around, hastily, looking back towards the Second-In Command. ‘’Not just of you, but of anyone with underlings.’’ He said. The Dalek didn’t answer to that. ‘’Yeah, I’ve read a few novels here and there.’’

He turned back, looking towards the Supreme. The Supreme moved itself back towards their Equine prisoners. Looking it’s eyestalk back towards him.

‘’Now, if you need me to repeat the question, I’ll-‘’ he said, turning his back on the Supreme.

‘’We are…!-’’ The Supreme spoke. ‘That’s better.’ He thought to himself. He turned himself, looking back to face the Supreme again. A smile settled on his face, and a victorious feeling inside of him.

‘’We were many. Specifically, we once numbered in the thousands, five thousand in all-!’’

‘’All the more reason for you have conquered this planet already.’’ He interrupted.

‘’But as we fled from our creators, we were forced to sacrifice many of our own in order to survive!’’ It said. It lowered it’s eyestalk, looking it down. ‘’By the time we managed to reach a land far from the war’s reach, eight hundred lives had already been taken, and more were going to be claimed if we did not manage to conquer lands of our own!

With the remaining ships in our possession, we attempted to flee the planet…But we were intercepted! Our enemies were lying in wait for us-!’’

Now, his curiosity was peeked. Not just by the fact that these Daleks were not acting like normal Daleks. And this whole thing about ‘’the Dalek’s enemies’’. Who were these ‘’enemies?’’

‘’It was a relentless massacre! Many Daleks lives were lost just to allow us to escape. We created a Time Corridor, and traveled back in time. We landed our ship on a ridge, and entered into a Hibernated state, where our Travel machines ran on low power!’’

‘’However, it was not to last.’’ He spoke up, slightly excited.

‘’You are correct! Our hibernation cycle was interrupted, when sensors picked up unidentified lifeforms. Our ship had been founded by the local population. We abducted them, and turned them into spies for our cause!’’

‘’You mean, you killed them.’’ Twilight spoke. The Supreme looked the eyestalk down towards her, but she was completely ignored by it.

‘’Since our awakening, we have-‘’

‘’Been drawing up plans for the conquest of Equestria. Planning the Destruction of all life on this planet, enslaving those you see as below you…Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don’t need to be a genius to figure out you’re plan…or anyone else’s for that matter.’’ He interjected.

The Dalek Supreme stared towards him, silently, as did the rest of the Daleks.

‘’Correct! We have been waiting for the opportune moment for us to rise, and reveal ourselves!’’ The Supreme said.

‘’And now that time has come, Medic!’’ The Second-In Command interjected. Both the Medic and the Supreme, turned, directing their attention towards the Second-In Command.

He gulped, actually beginning to feel uneasy. Well, that was a first…in these recent days.

‘’Oh, that’s a new one.’’ He said. His hoof went up to his face, and gently touched his face. Taking a quick glance at him, Twilight looked away, but suddenly, did a double-take, once she saw his nervous face.

‘’Medic? Is something wrong?’’ She asked. Her eyes, telling her everything she needed to know, and just from a mere look.

‘’Hm? Oh…Right.’’ He replied. He reached his hooves up to his jacket, adjusting it. ‘’Nothing, just feeling a bit uneasy.’’ He gave a gentle groan. ‘’Whew, haven’t felt something like that in a while.’’ He said.

*Half an hour later*

As Luna, the Medic, and the Element Bearers were restrained, they received very little of the Daleks’ attention. They were mostly put away into a corner, guarded by perhaps only one Dalek. It was a Dalek with the same standard dark-grey paint job, and didn’t stand out too much from the rest of other Drones.

Daleks were constantly leaving the Throne room, bringing in large objects that were placed down against the wall. Once touched by a Daleks’ Manipulator arm, the object hummed to life, producing soft thrumming hum. Cables, wires, and all sorts of strange equipment littered throughout the former-turned-Control room Throne room.

The Dalek Supreme approached the throne, looking it’s eyestalk first down, then slowly, moving it up. Taking in all the details of the former ruler of Equestria’s seat of authority.

The Second-In Command returned to the Throne room, which was soon to become the Supreme’s new Control room within it’s ‘’new’’ city. It approached the Supreme, who turned itself around to face it’s underling commander.

‘’This Throne is unsuitable for my requirements. I demand that another, much better one, be created at once!’’ It instructed.

‘’I obey!’’ The Second-In Command replied. It turned itself away, and moved down along it’s way to find a Technician to carry out it’s superior’s orders.

‘’Also, Commander…!?’’ The Supreme said. The Second-In Command stopped, turning itself a little to the left, but mostly, rotating it’s dome to look towards the Supreme. ‘’Inform them that it is time. Tonight, we will rise!’’

‘’I obey!’’

With weary, and saddened eyes, the Medic, looked out through the window. Staring down, as he watched Dalek after Dalek carry out a black bagged up form. The bags were loaded up onto an awaiting hovercraft, which was being piloted by a Dalek. Driving away, the hovercraft headed down through the streets, heading towards it’s designated drop-off spot.

He frowned at the thought of what macabre things the Daleks were doing, not just the present, but also in the past.

‘’M-Medic?’’ He heard Twilight’s voice speak. He looked away from the window, turning to the right, and looked back upon her face. ‘’I-I-I-…’’ She attempted to speak.

‘’I’m afraid.’’ She finally managed to say. ‘’T-there really is no getting out of it this time, eh? This really is Equestria’s Doomsday, isn’t it?’’ She asked.

His eyes looked down, as he approached her. Stopping right in front of her, and raising his hoof up to her cheek. Her eyes looked up, meeting his.

‘’I’m afraid so. They took the Screwdriver, and without the TARDIS key I cannot summon it to our location, and even if I did, the battle has already been lost.’’ He turned, looking out the window, gazing down upon the city. ‘’Daleks are filling the streets, and most of the Equestrians are either dead or imprisoned. We cannot take action without endangering their lives.’’

‘’So, what do we do, then?’’ Luna asked. He looked back, staring towards Luna’s face.

‘’Be afraid, scared, whatever it takes to keep us focused on how to defeat the Daleks.’’ He said.

Rainbow cracked a confused eyebrow at what he was saying. Obviously, to her, this didn’t make any sense.

‘’How is that going to help anything?’’ She asked.

‘’Because fear is a super power, my little Dashie. Fear is a constant companion that is always with you and in your darkest hours…it gives you that spark to continue on living, to keep fighting the odds, and never give in, feeding your mind advice on how to survive, and continue on.’’ He said, managing to conjure up a faint smile on his face.

Twilight blinked her eyes a couple times, and eventually, with time…her frown vanished, disappearing away into a smile.

Suddenly, the floor started to shake wildly. The Daleks’ equipment, however, remained in place, even the Daleks, themselves stood firmly in place…The rest of the room was not so fortunate. The rest of the room was shaking, trembling, as if an earthquake was being brought on by the Dalek’s equipment.

‘’Wh-w-what’s happening!?’’ Luna shouted towards the Daleks.

Turning in it’s spot, the Supreme looked it’s eyestalk towards her.

‘’Princess Luna, Ruler of the Equestrian Race, behold…The Ascension of the Daleks!’’ It spoke. The Supreme turned itself around, so that it was facing the window. Looking it’s eyestalk out through it, towards the city, as it’s flames gleamed in the nightlight.

The top of the mountain started to crack, crevices started to rip themselves into existence, penetrating the skin of the mountain top.

Within a Control room, several Daleks were attending various operation systems.

‘’Ignite engines!’’ A figure standing atop a raised platform ordered. It’s eyestalk rotating towards a large screen on the wall.

‘’I obey!’’ One of the Daleks, standing in front of it’s controls, replied. It turned it’s Manipulator arm, shifting it a little to the left, and then an inch to the right. ‘’Engines activated!’’

‘’Then let us ascend! Let us not hide from these inferior creatures anymore!’’ The Dalek atop the platform instructed, rotating it’s eyestalk away from the operator, looking it towards a floating screen that hovered in front of it.

Out through the cracked hole in the mountain, several light started to emerge. A deep rumbling entered the Equestrians’, and the Medics’ ears, making them perk themselves up. They looked out the window to get a better look of where this rumbling was coming from.

Higher up, way beyond the vision of their windows, a large, round shape moved out. It’s dark colors obstructing it further from view from the Daleks’ captives’ eyes, making it impossible to see in the dark night.

Around it’s sides, lights flashed in a continuous pattern, allowing more of it’s physical appearance to be revealed, as it emerged more and more.

Finally, however, it was free. Flying across the night sky, as it approached the castle. The sheer size of it’s entire form covering the entirety of Canterlot Castle, itself.

It positioned itself over the castle, it’s center point hovering over Canterlot’s tallest point, of the tallest tower. A deep thrumming sound started humming, replacing the soft wind blowing through the city.

‘’Sshh – What is that sound?’’ Twilight asked, holding up her hoof, indicating for the others to be silent. She looked her head up, lifting her ear a little higher. ‘’I-…I can hear something.’’ She said. The others raised their heads, looking around the room. Their ears perked up, as they picked up something that sounded…very different.

‘’Yeah. You guys-…’’ Applejack said, lowering her head, looking it down towards the rest of her friends. ‘’Twilight is right. I can hear somethin’.’’

‘’Sugarcube-?’’ asked Applejack, nervously. Her head turned, looking it towards the Medic. ‘’didn’t them Daleks say that they lost many of their…ships to those ‘ere enemies of theirs?’’ He nodded his head back. He raised his eyes, looking them up back towards Applejack. ‘’T-they did say that.’’ He said.

‘’Then-…’’ She said, looking her eyes up, staring them up towards the ceiling. ‘’Is that noise?’’

The Dalek Supreme, and a small group of Daleks approached Celestia’s former throne. The Supreme rotated it’s dome, looking it’s eyestalk down towards a small podium that stood beside the throne. The crystal behind it’s glass cover, gleaming in the moonlight.

‘’While I have witnessed this world’s catastrophes, and they have prevented the Rise of the Daleks-!’’ The voice of the Supreme spoke. The Medic, Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Luna turned away from the window, directing their attention towards the Dalek Supreme, as it noticed it staring towards that strange crystal, that Celestia had shown to Twilight before sending her off to confront King Sombra, and that…thing, with skin of pure metal. ‘’I can clearly see that the Dalek Race will have no problem subduing the local population. Ponies, Griffons, Dragons, and what else your planet has to resist us, we will conquer this planet, enslaving those useful to us…and exterminating those who pose significant threat!’’

Four Daleks approached the podium, raising their Manipulator arms up, pointing them towards the glass, and lifted the glass holder up.

‘’With the Hand of Omega we will be possession of unlimited power!’’

The Drone approached the crystal, connecting it’s Manipulator arm appendage to it’s surface.

A group of other Daleks arrived at the Throne room, bringing a big casket with them. The Drone, holding the crystal, approached the casket – When it got close enough, the caskets’ top opened, sliding it to the side…Revealing a soft cushioning on the inside, flanked on both sides by Dalek technology, blinking lights, beeping shapes, and small spheres that held electricity inside of them.

The Drone, gently, lowered the crystal inside the casket – Moving back away from it, as it closed shut, and re-joined with it’s Dalek ranks.

Twilight’s eyes followed the Daleks, as they glided along the floor towards the entrance. She turned, looking towards him. ‘’M-medic?’’ She spoke, softly.

He heard her calling for him, and turned his head, looking it towards her face. ‘’Why did they take that crystal?’’ She asked.

His eyes looked up, staring back towards the casket, his eyes falling upon the casket.

‘’They took it because it’s exactly what they need-‘’ He said. He didn’t take his eyes away from it. ‘’It’s the ultimate doomsday weapon, because you will never require being supplied ever again…

It’s a substance and energy converter.’’ He said.

*Out in space*

Silence…

That was all that surrounded this world of pure darkness. Planets, Stars, they were all vessels and beholders of the great dark that consumed everything and everyone.

But amidst the dark silence. A shadow fell upon the surface of the Moon. Moving across it’s surface. Slowly, approaching the planet in front of it.
