The TARDIS speed through the air. Spinning itself around, wildly, as it flew towards the clouds.

*Inside the Dalek Command Ship*

‘’Activate Tractor beam. Capture that Time Capsule, and bring it onboard my ship.’’ The figure atop it’s raised platform instructed.

‘’I obey.’’ The Controller replied.

Atop the platform the sphere-headed Dalek turned itself around. Facing in a different direction. Gliding along the floor, as it started moving down a corridor.

‘’I will leave for the Throne Room. If you require any further assistance of me, I can be found there!’’ The sphere-headed Dalek’s voice sounded through an intercom in the Control Room on the Bridge.

The Controller lowered it’s eyestalk, looking it back down towards the screen. Gently, conducting small movements with it.

*Inside the TARDIS*

Bucking violently to the side, the Console Room shook. Losing their balance because of the violent quake, everyone except the Medic fell to the floor.

He began moving to various sides of the Console Unit, pressing buttons, and pulling levers, franticly. His calm, controlled demeanor began to vanish, and he was actually starting to worry.

‘’No! No! No! No! No!’’ He said repeatedly.

There was another powerful quake, but a much more violent one this time. Twilight, Luna, and everyone others had remained down on the floor, as they might have expected something like this to happen again.

The floor re-aligned itself. Making it possible for Twilight and the others to stand back up on their hooves.

‘’What is it, Medic?’’ Twilight asked. Stepping closer towards him. He, however, was too pre-occupied with trying to do whatever it was that he was trying to do. He barely registered her question.

He slammed his hooves against the console. Lowering his head, and letting out a heavy sigh.

‘’M-Medic?’’ She asked, nervously. Slowly, raising her hoof up towards his back…

But he didn’t answer her. He was silent, as he stood there.

Standing back up on their hooves, as well, the rest of the Element Bearers were starting to notice his silent state.

‘’Medic? What is it?’’ Luna asked. Approaching him.

‘’They’ve got us in a Tractor beam. We cannot escape from them.’’

‘But weren’t you the one that flew the TARDIS towards their ship?’ Rainbow asked herself, confused.

‘’Well, what’s the plan then, Med?’’ Pinkie Pie asked. He turned, looking towards her.

‘’The plan is to not get k-‘’

Suddenly, his eyes were drawn down towards the screen in front of him. He crossed his eyes, narrowing them a little. Shooting a confused glare towards the screen, as it bleeped.

‘’What? What, Medic? What is the plan?’’ Rainbow asked, curious. Stepping closer towards him.

‘’I’m sorry, Rainbow-‘’ He turned his head, looking it back towards Twilight and Luna. ‘’But it appears we are being hailed.’’ He said. He gently turned his head a little to the side, looking his eyes towards the screen. ‘’It appears…that someone wants to chat.’’

He turned himself back towards the Console Unit. Flicking a switch with his hoof.

‘’Medic!’’ An unrecognizable voice spoke. Everyone craned their heads, looking their eyes up around the Console Room.

‘’Oh, this damned thing sometimes…’’ He said frustrated under his breath, as he delivered a smack against the side of the screen. The screen flickered, as static became visible on the screen. ‘’Oh come on.’’ He groaned. Delivering another smack to it’s side.

This time, the static vanished. Revealing a head-shot of an unwanted figure on the screen.

Everyone in the room gasped as they saw it. Rarity, putting a hoof to her mouth.

‘’No…No.’’ Twilight said in denial. Shaking her head, quickly, as she started to back away from the Console Unit. ‘’N-no more.’’

But there a really big major change with this Dalek’s appearance. It was white, with smaller, and much flatter dome lights than the dark-grey Daleks.

‘’You are now our prisoner, Medic! You will follow and obey all Dalek instructions! Escape is impossible for you! Your Time Capsule is now in our grasp!’’ The Dalek head-shot spoke.

‘’Alright.’’ He replied, softly. Twilight, Luna, and everyone else beside the Medic. Casting confused glances towards him.

‘’Eh, come again, Medic?’’ Said Twilight, confused. He scoffed softly. ‘’Oh!’’ She exclaimed. Laughing in a scoffing manner. ‘’I get it. You’re just playing a part to lure the enemy into a false sense of security. Clever.’’ She said, excitedly.

He smiled, shaking his head.

‘’No.’’ He replied. ‘’I’m surrendering myself to the Daleks.’’ He said. Turning his head, and looking his eyes towards her face. He watched, as her over-confident smile vanished. Being instead replaced with her mouth hanging a little open.

‘’But, I-‘’ She attempted to speak. But he, hastily, turned his head back towards the screen. Looking back towards the Dalek in front of him.

‘’But I am not arriving alone. I am bringing several Equestrians with me.’’ He said. Casting a developing angry glare, back towards the Dalek. ‘’But they are not to be harmed under any circumstances. They will remain by my side at all times, and not a single Dalek is to approach them or lead them away.’’ He instructed.

Silently, the Dalek stared back at the screen on it’s side. Looking back at him.

‘’Your request will be obeyed! The Equine lifeforms are not to be harmed, or detained by any Daleks!’’ It replied. He nodded his head back at the screen.

‘’Then…Bring us onboard.’’ He said. Moving his head, back away from the screen.

The Dalek was silent to his last sentence. Just ending the communication between the two of them, leaving the screen dark.

The Console Room bucked to the side. Everyone, except the Medic, almost lost their balance again. But unlike before, they caught themselves in mid-air. Standing back up, and preventing themselves from falling down a second time.

*Outside the TARDIS*

Flying up/down from several positions. Dalek Assault Ships approached the TARDIS. Surrounding it, as they escorted it to the Hangar. Beginning to separate from the group. Flying away, as they headed off in different directions. Flying towards other Hangars to land in.

‘’Calling all Pilots! A non-Dalek vessel has been spotted! It’s course has been identified as being the Command Ship! It must be destroyed!’’ The intercom spoke.

Adjusting the panels on their wings. The Assault Ships turned swung upwards. They flew upside down for a few seconds, before adjusting themselves in mid-air, and flying towards the non-Dalek vessel right-way up.

Speeding through the clouds, eventually, breaching it. The Pilots were able to get sight of the ship through their eyestalk lens. Their top-mounted guns lowered down. Aiming towards the approaching ship. Powering up to fire…

On the screen. Twilight, Luna, and the Medic watched silently, as the TARDIS penetrated a blue force field that stood in front of them. There wasn’t much that was done, by the looks of it. It was left untouched.

‘’The Tractor beam will guide you to where we want you to land! The energy field has temporarily disabled your Time Capsule’s Engines, so as to not give you a chance of eluding us!’’ A Daleks’ voice spoke.

Outside the TARDIS. Daleks were through the air. Looking their eyestalks towards the floating rectangular circle that was suspended in the air. Their domes rotated, following the shape, as it descended down towards a large platform. Standing on the platform, a large group of Daleks stood. They formed two long lines, from where a red carpet moved up inside the space separating the two lines.

With a hard *Thud* The TARDIS was put back down on the ground.

*Inside the TARDIS*

Inside the TARDIS. Twilight, Luna, the Medic, and everyone turned themselves around. Directing their eyes towards the door. He inhaled a deep breath, then exhaled it back out, again.

‘’Medic’’ A voice from outside the TARDIS’ doors spoke. He narrowed his eyes, glaring it, softly, towards the door.

He turned himself around, looking his eyes towards Twilight’s eyes…Then back towards Luna’s face. ‘’I’m sorry…But we’ve got no choice. They’ve got us trapped.’’ He said.

‘’B-but, the Daleks were not able to get into, or even damage the TARDIS. How can they-‘’ Her question was interrupted by him, interjecting himself into the conversation before she had finished asking the question.

‘’These are not the same Daleks as the one we fought in Canterlot.’’ He said. At hearing that, she was silenced. Her mouth closed, and she looked back towards him with blank eyes. ‘’These Daleks have much more advanced armored Travel Machines. Their weapons are much more powerful, their technology, way beyond the capabilities of what those Daleks were capable of, and their tactical abilities are much more advanced than the Time Lords. They are masters of war. Birth through fire.’’

‘’Medic! The Dalek Prime, our Supreme Commander, does not possess the patience of a Time Lord. You are demanded to the Prime, this instant!’’ Another voice called from outside the door.

‘’I’ve got to go. I am expected.’’ He said. He turned, looking his head towards the other Ponies in the Console Room. ‘’You will be much safer here. The Daleks will not break their promise…Not to me, anyway. They know that there will be consequences for doing anything to hurt those dear to me.’’

‘’I don’t care about safety. I committed to following you, Medic. And I am not going to give up just because overgrown trash cans have taken us prisoners.’’ Twilight said. Shooting him a nasty glare, that said ‘’I’m going’’.

‘’I’m going too.’’

Twilight and the Medic turned their heads. Looking behind them towards the Mare who had spoken.

Luna trotted forward, approaching them.

‘’It may be too dangerous for Twilight’s friends to come along.’’ Luna said. ‘’But not for me. I am also the only representative of Equestria’s government. I want to try and negotiate with these…Daleks.’’ She concluded, a little weirded out by saying that.

His eyes looked from Twilight towards Luna, before he turned his head, looking towards the rest of Twilight’s friends.

‘’If you are all willing to stay here, and wait for me to return, then…’’ He said, turning his head, looking it back towards Luna, then Twilight. ‘’You two can come.’’

Outside the TARDIS, a white, and navy-blue Dalek slid along the floor. Moving down the red carpet. All around it. Several thousand eyes looked down towards the object in front of them.

As the red carpet came to a stop, it too stopped moving. It raised it’s eyestalk, looking it out in front of it at the TARDIS.

‘’Medic! Come forth and face your Dalek-‘’

Suddenly, though, the two doors opened. Shocked at this, the Dalek backed away from it a little.

As the doors opened fully, a figure strode out…Followed by another, and another. When the two other companions who had come out with him, stopped in place, they closed the door behind them.

‘’Medic, you will follow.’’ The Dalek instructed, looking it’s eyestalk at him. ‘’Yours…companions, however, must remain with the TARDIS.’’

He shook his head. Glaring angrily back at the Dalek in front of him.

‘’I told them to remain, but they wanted to come.’’ Said the Medic, back to the Dalek. He turned his head, looking it towards Twilight. He turned back towards the Dalek, taking a few steps forward towards it.

He gently leaned closer to the Dalek. It’s dome rotating, as it looked it’s eyestalks towards him.

‘’The Alicorn is the current Princess of the Equestrian Race. She, herself, desired to be here to be a part of this.’’ He almost whispered to it. It raised it’s eyestalk, looking it up towards the blue winged, and horned figure in front of it.

He stepped back, moving away from the Dalek, returning back to the two others. It’s eyestalk lens, looking after him.

‘’Now, if you would be to kind…Take us to your leader.’’ He instructed. The Dalek bowed it’s eyestalk.

‘’Follow.’’ It ordered. It turned around, and started to glide up along the red carpet. He turned, looking back towards Twilight and Luna, staring blankly. He nudged his head up after the Dalek escort party.

‘’Let’s go.’’ He said.

Twilight and Luna turned towards each other. Staring for a few seconds. But eventually, they both decided to trot up after him.

Trotting silently behind the Medic and the Daleks, they gently craned their heads up. Looking their eyes out towards the large space that surrounded them. Most of the surrounding space, just seemed to be a large chamber-room of some sorts.

They gulped, softly, as their eyes spotted hundreds of Daleks that hovered up in the air around them, staring their eyestalks down upon them. Silently, following them as they moved down along the red carpet. Their fellow Daleks, the two formations of Daleks, started to break away from that formation, and slowly, followed behind Twilight and Luna.

*In the Control Room*

Performing it’s regular duties, the Dalek Controller looked it’s eyestalk down towards the screen on the Control Console in front of it.

In the background there was a soft beating hum, as it attended to it’s duties, it’s only form of company being two other Daleks that flanked it on either side, as there two Control Consoles on it’s left and right sides.

‘’Controller!’’ A voice suddenly spoke. The Dalek stopped doing what it was doing. It raised it’s eyestalk, looking it up towards the ceiling. ‘’All of our forces have returned to the Command Ship! Adjust our course, and bring us out into space! We will leave this planet now!’’ The voice boomed over the Control Room’s wall-mounted speakers.

‘’I obey.’’ The Controller replied.

It turned it’s Manipulator arm appendage to the side, carrying out the orders that had been given to it by the loud, booming voice.

Outside the Command Ship. At the far end of the Dalek ship, a build-up of force started to occur, blue glows started to grow brighter.

Upon reaching full capacity, the Command Ship started to adjust itself in it’s place. Turning itself around, raising itself up, and pointing it’s front point upwards. The Engines roared to life, as they pushed the ship forward. They flew higher. Passing through the thick layers of clouds. Entering out into space…

Out in space, however, a shape approached towards them.

A large shape, cloaked in darkness lingered in space. It’s underside/’s half-spheres rotated around in place, moving around a much larger central sphere.

The Dalek Command Ship approached this much larger ship. Moving silently through space.

*Somewhere in a dark chamber*

In a darkened chamber onboard the ship, a voice interrupted the silence of the chamber. Amidst the darkness, a light switched on, looking down.

‘’Dalek Prime!’’ A voice spoke over the speakers.

‘’Speak!’’ The voice boomed, as lights flashed amidst the darkness.

‘’The Time Lord, the individual that is known as the Medic is now is our custody!’’

Upon hearing this, the light raised itself, looking up, out in front of it.

‘’The Medic!?’’ It asked.

‘’Affirmative!’’ The voice replied through the intercoms. ‘’He has requested to be brought before you! Shall I bring him before you…Especially-‘’

‘’Yes! Bring him here! Bring him to my Throne Room!’’ The lights replied.

‘’I must inform you, that he is not coming alone. The Princess of Equestria, and an individual known by our records as Twilight Sparkle, personal protégé to the former, ex-ruler Princess Celestia!’’

‘’Is that so…!’’ The light said, softly, amidst the darkness. Lowering the light a little, and looking downwards. It stared down for a few seconds.

‘’Affirmative!’’ The intercoms said.

‘’How goes the campaign to secure the Hand of Omega!?’’ The lights asked, raising it’s light, and looking them back up, out in front of it.

‘’The Hand of Omega, as I have been informed, is within our grasp, and is being brought into the ship, even as we speak!’’ It replied.

‘’Excellent! Prepare the device, and order our Controllers to prepare a Time Corridor!’’ The light instructed.

‘’I obey!’’ The Dalek voice replied.

‘’I have been informed of your ascent into space…But information concerning your distance from us is scarce!’’ It said.

‘’Visual analysis indicate that we are only twenty minutes away! We will reach you, shortly!’’ The Dalek on the other side of the intercoms replied.

‘’Inform of the Medic’s, if any, sudden and emergent actions!’’

‘’I obey!’’ It replied. ‘’End Communication!’’

From that moment on, the room was filled with nothing but silence.

The light lowered itself down, keeping itself positioned, so that the light looked out in front of it.

‘’So…!? You have finally come back to us, Medic!?’’ It asked to itself in the darkness surrounding it’s form.

*Twenty minutes later* *Back on the Bridge*

A soft humming echoed all around the room. Daleks, looked their eyestalks down towards their separate controls, or looked their eyestalks up towards a single large screen on the wall, which either showed a map, or it showed various figures and numbers.

The Command Ship drifted through space, slowly approaching the other, incredibly, much larger ship.

‘’Decrease speed.’’ One of the Daleks ordered.

At the back, the violent, blue, glow from the ship’s engines died down. The ship’s movement through space started to slow significantly.

The ship adjusted it’s course, and started to fly downwards, towards the underbelly of the saucer-like ship. It flew underneath the ship. Stopping in place, underneath a large hatch. The hatch retracted, opening up more space, more and more gradually.

When there was enough of a large space for the ship to enter through, it started to fly up. Vanishing inside the ship, as the hatches closed shut.

‘’De-activate all power to the Command Deck. Prepare to disembark from the ship.’’ The Dalek Controller instructed through their ship’s intercoms. Daleks stopped moving, and raised their eyestalks, looking them up.

Once the message was gone, the Daleks started to move back the way they had come. Moving towards the nearest landing ramps to disembark from the ship, as instructed.

The ship started to power down, removing all light from the ship’s corridors and hallways. Leaving them in perpetual darkness.

Twilight, Luna, and the Medic were moved down through one of the ship’s corridors. Dalek guards surrounded them on all sides, their weapons primed, and ready to kill any of them if they attempted to resist. They were guided down the ramp, and brought out into a much larger, much grander space than the one they had been in just a few minutes ago.

‘’Whoa!’’ Twilight commented, as her eyes caught sight of all the Daleks flying around inside this chamber. Each of them were silent, generating only a single noise, which was the electric sound of their Travel machines hovering through the air. Their eyestalks followed them, looking towards them as they followed after their Dalek capturers.

Twilight approached the Medic, leaning herself in closer to his ear. ‘’How of them are here?’’ She asked, nervously, not daring to take her eyes off of the hovering shapes.

‘’Thousands, Twilight…Thousands.’’ He replied, softly. Twilight’s face paled. Her eyes widened in horror, her face gaining a frightened grimace.

She stepped back, trotting softly, alongside Luna.

The Dalek leader looked it’s eyestalk back towards them, but continued to move forward, it rotated it’s eyestalk back, as it saw that they had stopped speaking, and returned back to their spots.

After some time of being lead through the ship, the group, finally, arrived at a large golden-bronze door.

In front of the door, stood several Daleks, their domes were black, but the major change that made them stand out more, was that their primary color was gold-bronze for the body, and black for the base…Also making them stand out more, was that, although, they had the same weapons attached to them, they had a right-side appendage that was unlike anything they had seen on any Daleks…up until this point, they thought they had seen it all. But instead, these Daleks’ right-side appendages, looked they were modified versions of their standard weapons.

The three Ponies approached the door, and it swung open, to which, they entered inside. The strange Daleks, followed inside after them…Disappearing behind a giant layer of darkness.

Once they were inside the room, the doors closed behind them, but they were now, thrown into a perpetual darkness that completely surrounded their bodies. The only form of light, being the faint hints they got from the Daleks’ eyestalks.

‘’Medic? Where are you?’’ Twilight asked, blindly looking out into the darkness.

‘’Yes. I am here, Twilight.’’ His voice sounded from in front of her.

‘’Oh, thank goodness...B-but where is the Princess?’’ Twilight replied, turning her head, and looking around.

‘’I am here, Twilight Sparkle.’’ A voice spoke from the darkness.

‘’Well, at least we’re all gathered. They haven’t split us up.’’ Said the Medic, still surrounded by a blanket of darkness.

‘’Well, I’m glad. I would have hated to have them split us up.’’ Luna sighed, softly, in relief.

‘’Yeah. But why? Why didn’t they split us up?’’ Twilight asked. Luna cracked a confused eyebrow upon hearing what Twilight said. ‘’I mean, they have an ideal moment to separate us, split us up, and isolate each of us…but then…why did they allow us to remain together?’’ Twilight asked.

‘’Yes, Medic. I’ve noticed that too. Why keep us, very important figures to Equestria together, when we are such a threat to them, and that, from what I’ve seen and heard, Daleks aren’t the most trustworthy of creatures.’’ Luna said, out from the blackness.

‘’That…is a simple question to answer!’’ A booming voice, suddenly, spoke up, interrupting the calm of the darkened chamber.

Slowly, the darkness faded away, the chamber started to become more illuminated, details started to become clearer, shapes could be made out, faint lights that had been on the wall, but had not had the strongest light capacity to illuminate them though the dark.

However, in the center of the entire chamber, becoming much easier to see with the dissipating darkness, stood a single, large form. It’s top, greatly resembling that of…Well, any of the Daleks that they had seen up until now, resembling maybe, more of the gold-bronze Daleks outside the door.

The Medic gasped, as he laid eyes on the shape in front of him. His eyes seeing more and more of the figure in front of them, and with every piece of it, that he managed to lay eyes on, his eyes paled, widening in fright. He was rendered completely frozen in place by what he saw.

Twilight’s eyes trailed down, as she looked the figure more and more over. Standing at the figure’s base, her eyes caught sight of several of those Daleks that had been seen outside the chamber. They were now, however, standing much closer to the figure.

Immediately, they started to hover up off the floor. Flying up into the air, staying as close as they could to the Dalek-like figure.

Something caught Twilight’s eyes, as she could not bring herself to look away from the Dalek-like figure’s appearance. Narrowing her eyes, as she looked closer at it.

She turned her head, looking her eyes towards the Medic.

‘’Um, Medic?’’ She asked, softly. He turned his head, looking back towards her. ‘’What is that...? Underneath the Dalek dome, I mean. What is it?’’ She asked, raising, and pointing her hoof towards the figure, but especially, towards a strange shape underneath the dome.

‘’It is me! All that I am, Equestrian!’’ The voice boomed, throughout the chamber. Twilight turned her head back, looking her eyes straight up towards the figure’s dome. The Medic turned as well, looking himself back towards the Dalek-like figure.

The lens at the end of the Dalek Eyestalk started to glow, as a light was switched on. With slow movement, the eyestalk raised itself up, looking itself down towards it’s group of prisoners. However, unlike all the other Daleks, this Dalek’s Eyestalk lens’ color was red.

The Medic’s mouth hung a little open, as he stared back in awe towards the giant Dalek. Moving it back up, his mouth closed itself shut, while a nervous face looked back towards the Dalek in front of them.

Amidst all the silence, a soft rhythm hum started to sound throughout the chamber. But they barely paid any heed to it’s intrusion.

He gulped down, but made sure that neither Twilight nor the Princess noticed him. Looking his head to the side, towards them. Their gaze was still, seemingly drawn towards the Dalek’s awakening. He turned, looking back towards it…At that same moment, the Dalek turned it’s Eyestalk away from Twilight, to look towards him.

‘’So…I see you’ve been cautious.’’ He spoke. Wearing a stern expression, as he looked back towards it. ‘’Am I right in assuming that you are taking safety measures to ensure your survival?’’ He asked, softly.

The Eyestalks’ lens narrowed itself, looking closer at the Medic’s face. Patiently, he blinked his eyes waiting for an answer to his question.

Finally, the Dalek gave an answer.

‘’You are correct in your assumption, Medic!’’ Said the Dalek, just staring, blankly, at him. ‘’We survived, but our forces had suffered terrible damage! We were cut-off from our superiors, and without any other orders…I instead gave new ones.

I assumed the role of Dalek Prime, the Supreme Commander, Ruler of the Remnants of the Dalek Race!

There was no objection by any of the other surviving Daleks onboard-

‘Yeah…Because there, none of them have free will.’ Thought Luna, as she cast a serious face back to the labelled Dalek Prime.

‘’Of course. Because Daleks don’t object, Daleks don’t resist, and they will do anything to survive…even going so far as to appoint a mere Scientist to the role.’’ He said, a small build-up of rage becoming evident.

‘’The Daleks had no choice but to appoint me their Supreme Commander! I was appointed because there was no other…Any other Daleks more fit for the position were lost in the closing stages of the war. Only my ship survived!’’ Replied the Prime.

He crossed his eyebrows a little, looking confused back towards the Dalek.

‘’Elaborate on that, please. Because if this was the only ship to survive the war’s end…Then that can only mean one thing: You are the only Daleks is existence.’’ Said the Medic. He raised his head, looking it up towards them.

Twilight’s eyes widened, gasping loudly, as those words reached her ears. She turned her head, looking towards the Medic with a shocked expression.

She, slowly, raised her eyes, looking them back up towards the Dalek Prime.

‘If they really are the Daleks in existence…Then maybe there is still hope. These Daleks will not be missed.’ She thought. ‘If I have learn anything from fighting these Daleks, then it is that their beliefs in their incredible megalomania can be exploited.’ She turned her head, looking back behind her at the Door behind them. Several, maybe five or six Dalek Drones stood behind them. ‘Don’t worry my little ponies. I won’t let her sacrifice have been in vain.’

*Back in the TARDIS* *A few minutes earlier*

Slowly, the light started to switch on. Illuminating the large chamber…But the main thing that caught the rest of the Mane Six’s attention, was not the lights switching on, or even the deep voice that spoke…

But the figure that the voice belonged to. Once the lights was switched on to it’s fullest, and it revealed the figure in the darkness, the Ponies in the room were shocked by what they saw.

‘’Whoa! What is that thing!?’’ Pinkie Pie exclaimed, as Twilight looked towards the Dalek Prime (They don’t know what it is yet)

‘’It’s massive!’’ Rarity interjected, raising her voice to a level akin to screaming. ‘’It’s almost as big, or possibly even bigger, than Twilight’s Library.’’ She continued. ‘’But ooo…I do like it’s details, all the different that sets it apart from all the other Daleks, but there is still indications that it is a Dalek.’’

Everyone else in the room, turned their heads, casing Rarity shocked glances.

‘’Seriously, Rarity?’’ Rainbow spoke up. Rarity turned her head, casting her a confused glance.

‘’What? What did I do?’’ She asked, confused.

‘’This isn’t really the time to be admiring our enemies’ appearance, Rarity. Twilight, the Princess, and he…could be killed if we don’t do anything.’’ Rainbow said.

‘’Yeah, sugarcube.’’ Applejack interjected. ‘’Oh, and Rainbow…The Medic only gave Twilight that weird thing because he wanted us to observe, not do anythin’ stupid…to quote him.’’

Rainbow growled a little, as she turned and looked her head back towards the floating screen.

‘’I still don’t like this. Twilight I understand, she’s curious and wants to find out more answers…But the Princess, the Princess should have stayed here with us.’’ Rainbow said.

*Present*

The Dalek Prime kept it’s gaze fixed on him, bearing witness to his serious glare, as he looked back towards it. It narrowed it’s lens…Withdrawing it, shortly after looking towards him for a few minutes.

Before either of them could speak, Luna interrupted, suddenly, taking a step forward towards the Dalek Prime.

The Dalek Prime and Medic, both turned. He turned his head to look towards her, and the Prime rotated it’s dome, staring it’s eyestalk at her.

‘’Princess, no!’’ He called out, extending a hoof out after her, even the hovering Dalek guards turned towards her, aiming their weapons towards her, as she approached the Prime.

She, suddenly, stopped in place. She turned her head back around, and looked it towards him.

‘’Don’t worry, Med. I’ll be fine.’’ She said back, smiling a friendly smile back towards him and Twilight. ‘’I am the Princess of Equestria, the last surviving form of our world’s government-‘’

‘Wait a moment, Princess Luna…Isn’t Cadence still alive?’ Thought Twilight. But her look of worry did not deter due to her confused thoughts.

‘’And I wish to address the Dalek Prime.’’ She finished, looking back up towards the Prime’s Eyestalk.

*Back in the TARDIS*

‘’No, Princess Luna! Don’t do it! They’re going to kill you!’’ Rarity shouted up towards the screen. She stepped forward, approaching the floating screen in front of them.

‘’P-Princess Luna, d-don’t do it.’’ Fluttershy pleaded, backing a little away from the screen.

‘’Don’t do it, your highness! They aren’t playing fair!’’ Pinkie Pie shouted up at the screen, standing back up on her hind legs, drawing the attention of her friends away from the screen, and rather, onto her.

‘’What?’’

*Back in the Throne Room*

Wearing a stern face, he hastily took a few steps closer to Luna. Getting close enough, so that the Daleks could not hear them.

‘’Princess...What in the name of Celestia do you think you are doing?’’ He whispered sternly. Looking his eyes out towards the Dalek Prime.

‘’I am saving our skins, Med.’’ She replied.

She looked back towards him, but was only meet with his confused, stern face, which shook to the sides.

‘’I can see what you are attempting…It won’t work. Sh-…It is being protected by the most esteemed Daleks in the entire army. You won’t even get close enough to carry out what you’re intending to do.’’ Replied the Medic.

Upon hearing this, Luna gained a confused expression on her face, pulling it a little back, away from him.

‘’What are you talking about, Med? I am trying to negotiate with the Dalek Prime. That is why I came, was it not?’’ She replied, as she questioned him. Now, it was he who gained a confused expression.

‘’Well, yes. But-‘’

She instantly raised her hoof up, cutting him off before he could get another word out.

‘’Then the discussion is closed, Doc.’’ She said, seriously. ‘’Return to Twilight’s side, immediately, and do not interrupt me again, lest you seek to suffer the consequences for speaking against the Princess of the Night.’’ She ordered, sternly. Glaring angrily back into his face.

‘The Princess of the Night? No. That cannot be…’

This seemed to finally get the message across to him. He closed his mouth, and quickly backed away from her, returning back to Twilight’s side. Luna nodded her head back at him, then turned it back around, facing the Dalek Prime, once again.

‘’Ahem, as I was saying.’’ She started to speak, once again, taking a few steps forward, approaching the Dalek Prime.

The guards, hovering in the air, instantly went on the defensive, as they moved closer towards her, aiming their weapons at her.

‘’Halt! Do not move! Remain where you are!’’ The guards shouted. Luna did indeed stop, but she did not look towards the guards, but instead looked right up into the Dalek Prime’s Eyestalk.

‘’Do not engage weapons!’’ The Dalek Prime said. One of the guards rotated it’s’ Eyestalk to look towards it.

‘’But, Dalek Prime, she-‘’

‘’She is a diplomat! A negotiator! A being who is attempting to engage a war of words…If I am not correct!?’’ The Prime interrupted. Asking Luna, as it kept it’s Eyestalk focused on her.

Softly, she nodded her head back.

‘’Yes. You are right.’’ She said. ‘’I merely wish to discuss my subject’s survival with you, and if there is any sort of understanding we can come to. Like you, or rather, like any of your Daleks, I will do anything to ensure my race’s survival-’’ Luna continued to speak.

Twilight bit her lip, looking nervously up at the Prime. Seeing no indication of movement from the Eyestalk.

‘Good. It’s thinking about it…But while it’s doing that-‘Twilight thought, as her eyes drifted down away from the Prime, looking instead, down towards the strange shape on the underside of it’s body. ‘I can maybe take a closer look at that strange thing underneath the dome.’

The strange shape had first attracted Twilight’s attention when the Prime had started moving, and first spoken. What was it? Was it some sort of compartment? A container? An energy source to power it? That seemed unlikely, since the entire thing seemed to use very little energy.

‘Wait a minute! Hadn’t the Medic said that the Daleks were organic creatures? What if-‘Her eyes widened, while her pupils inside it paled at the thought. They looked up, staring towards the space. ‘No! There can’t possibly be something inside that thing. It’s huge! By what I’ve seen, it must be as wide as a normal-sized Dalek!’ She thought.

‘’So? Will I be allowed to speak with you, and negotiate my race’s continued survival?’’ Luna asked, up to the Dalek Prime. Pulling Twilight out of her thoughts, and back into the moment.

‘’Princess, Don’t!’’ She could hear the Medic speak up to her. But she ignored him, and merely, continued to look towards the Prime, awaiting an answer to her request.

The Prime raised it’s Eyestalk lens, looking it up towards the last surviving position of Equestria’s government. Just staring, silently, down at her face through it’s lens.

‘’Your request!-‘’ It spoke. Attracting the attention of Twilight, The Medic, and Luna, back towards it. The three of them looked up towards the Prime. Patiently waiting for it to continue…

‘’…will be granted!’’
