The TARDIS Console room hummed loudly, as the Ponies stood doing their respective things. Applejack was with her family, happy to see that they had not been abducted by the Daleks…or worse, killed by them. Pinkie Pie stood with Rarity, and tried to socialize, even though once in a while she found her attention being directed back towards the Medic and the TARDIS, asking him relentlessly questions about it – Some good, others not so much.
‘’Soooo…How big is this thing? I mean, if it infinitely bigger on the inside? Or wait, no, that couldn’t possibly work because nothing is infinitely larger, or wait, that would mean that it isn’t infinitely bigger…Hm?’’ She asked, entering a deep thought. She put a hoof to her chin, and started to think about her own question.
‘’To ask Pinkie’s question much more specifically – How big is the TARDIS?’’ Twilight asked. He looked up, away from the controls for a second, meeting her blank smile, as she eagerly awaited his answer. ‘’Honestly, like Pinkie Pie said, it’s pretty much infinite.’’ He replied. Twilight’s smile vanished, being replaced a shocked, blank expression. ‘’Uhhh…Say what now? Pinkie was…right?’’ She asked, just as confused as her say said that she was. ‘’Yes. You see, the TARDIS isn’t just a machine, it’s sentient.’’ This word caught Applebloom’s attention, she looked away from her family towards the Medic and Twilight. She trotted up towards them. ‘’Eh, what does sentient mean?’’ She asked, curious. The Medic and Twilight looked down, seeing the little Filly. ‘’Sentient means alive, Applebloom.’’ He said with a soft chuckle. The little Filly’s eyes widened, and her pupils looked around the room. ‘’Ya’ll mean, like, alive-alive?’’ She asked, nervously. ‘’Yep. Just like you and me, but instead of flesh and bone it’s steel and the whole of time and space.’’ He said, holding his hoof outstretched, pointing it towards the Console unit. ‘’Wow…’’ Applebloom sighed, impressed.
‘’But what those creatures…’’ She put a hoof to her chin, rubbing it, softly. ‘’What did you call them…?’’ She said softly. ‘’Ah! Daleks.’’ She said, looking back up. The smile on his face vanished, being instead replaced with a sad frown. Twilight noticed this, and turned towards the filly with a stern glare. ‘’Applebloom!’’ She said, sternly. But he raised his hoof, motioning for her to be silent. ‘’No, Twilight. It’s alright. They were almost killed by the Daleks, so she, more than anypony, deserves to be told what they are.’’ Twilight backed out of the way, allowing him to step forward. Applebloom sat herself down on the floor, casting a blank expression up towards the Stallion.
‘’The Daleks are creatures born in the midst of a terrible war, a war that turned them into creatures that hate anything that they see as inferior.’’ He explained. Applebloom raised her hoof, he looked down towards her, noticing it. ‘’But if they are ‘’creatures of war’’, why are they here in Equestria? I thought they would only be interested in war.’’ Applebloom asked, confused. Lowering her hoof back down. ‘’No. What he means, Applebloom, is that they were created through war. Something happened that lead to them becoming the way they are now.’’ Twilight interjected. ‘’Oh.’’ She replied. Both fillies turned their heads to look towards him, as they heard his voice. ‘’And now they have entered Equestria for one reason or another…’’ He looked away, turning back the Console unit. ‘’Which reminds me, I’ve got to see what files that Supreme had.’’ He turned, and faced the Console unit again. He reached inside the pocket, and pulled out the Sonic. He inserted the Sonic into the Console, and trotted over to the other end. Pulling the screen out in front of him. ‘’Hm.’’ He said softly, narrowing his eyes. Twilight noticed him, and trotted towards his side. ‘’I-is everything ok?’’ She asked. ‘’Hm?’’ He hummed, turning his head, and looking at her. ‘’It’s the files I obtained from the Supreme. They’re all protected by an anti-hacking barrier.’’ He replied. ‘’So? Daleks have superior technology than us.’’ Twilight said. He turned, facing her with a cracked eyebrow. ‘’You just said the key-word there, Twilight.’’ He raised his hoof, pointing it towards the screen. ‘’Why. Why do the Daleks need a barrier to protect files like this when they’re the superior beings?’’ He asked, his eyebrows vanishing away. Twilight brought a hoof to the underside of her chin, thinking it over. ‘’I-…I don’t know.’’ Twilight hesitated, lowering her hoof, and looking back.
‘’Any-who. It’s not like this pathetic protection will hold for long.’’ He pressed several buttons, and pulled forward one of the levers. ‘’Eh…I thought you said that there was a protective barrier preventing you from seeing it?’’ Twilight said, confused. Shooting him a suspicious glance. ‘’Now, Twilight. I didn’t exactly say that. I said that it was a little strange that the Daleks required it, I mean…Eh, nevermind, let’s get on with it.’’ He pulled the screen down. Getting a good look.
‘’Oh, this one looks interesting.’’ He said, accessing a file labelled R. The file opened up to reveal various schematics, locations, audio recordings and logs, and the image of particular old, um…Hideous looking face. In it’s forehead was a blue light, and a straight, angry looking expression was held on it’s face. ‘’Eww. Let’s skip on that one.’’ Rarity said, pointing her hoof towards the picture. ‘’Fine!’’ He groaned, exiting the file. He pulled down to another labelled O.
‘’Hmm. This one looks interesting.’’ He opened it, just like the first, there were several images and texts of various schematics. Just like with the first folder. ‘’Um. Can ya’ll please step to the side so I can see?’’ The tiny voice of Applebloom interrupted. ‘’Oh! Yeah, right. Sorry – Let me fix that.’’ He replied, pressing a button on the Console unit with his hoof. The screen turned black, revealing several strange symbols. The room became dark, all around the room, several glowing, transparent shapes appeared. It was the texts and images from the file. ‘’There. Better?’’ He asked the little filly. ‘’Perfectly.’’ She replied, cheerfully.
Another head-shot picture flew around the room. Fortunately for Rarity, this one was not as hideous as the first one. Actually, this face was something she wanted to look upon. ‘’Oh my! Who, or what is that?’’ She asked, pointing her hoof up towards the image. A creature with light-yellow color, green eyes, a stern expression, and dark hair that rested atop it’s head. He turned, looking towards the image of the creature that Rarity had spotted.
‘’Oh. That…’’ He replied, gently, touching his hoof to the side of the other. ‘’That is…Isildur’’ He said, regaining his smile on his face. Rarity turned, casting a suspicious look back towards him. ‘’Isildur? Is that what it is called, darling?’’ She asked, curious. His eyes looked down, as a faint smile settled on his face. ‘’Well, if you’ll allow me to explain. I was just getting to that part.’’ He said, putting a hoof underneath his chin. ‘’Let’s just call him The Traveler, as that was what was he was mainly known as.’’ He corrected. ‘’Anyway, back to my original point. Isildur in the language of the Exxilons is the name for Creator. The reason behind this is because he is what the first Exxilons encountered as they began their existence.’’
Twilight’s look of confusion changed into a look of utter delight. Applejack recognized that look, and gently, sat herself down on the floor. ‘’Oh now you’ve done it.’’ She whispered to herself. ‘’Exxilons? Languages?’’ She squeed. ‘’Uhhh…Yes?’’ He said, nervously. Taking several steps back away from her. ‘’Oh, please do continue.’’ She said, motioning with her hoof. Using her magic, she summoned a notepad and a quill to write it down. Like an excited School filly in class, she prepared herself to begin writing whatever she could down.
‘’Now, where was I?’’ He asked them. Twilight (of course) was the first to react to his question. ‘’You were at the first minutes of the race of creatures known as Exxilons, and how they meet this creature called Isildur.’’ The Unicorn said, excited. Forming a large smile on her face, as she finished. ‘’Oh, right. I think we’ve got enough time to tell their story…’’

It all began in the blackness of space. The universe was lifeless, occupied by nothing but giant spheres known by their modern name as Planets – Everyone bearing some form of life, civilized or wild. The Time Vortex, silent and dead. The first real universe to this one. Through it, floated three crystals, red, white, and blue.
When the universe was finally created, the Time Vortex exploded, sending forth the three crystals. Flinging them into the universe that had just been born. But on entry, the blue crystal separated, breaking away from the other two, and flew off, away from them, heading to the far southern region of the universe.
For a thousand years, the crystal floated through space, observing the ever growing universe, watching Galaxies burn, Civilizations fall, and wars break out for the galactic dominance…Until, one day that it all came to a stop.
A Planet, dead, barren, drained of it’s natural resources, entered into it’s flight path. With powerful force, the crystal speed down through the atmosphere. Igniting, it started to pick up even more speed. With a hard, Planet-shaking crash, the crystal made contact with the surface of it’s new home. In the aftermath of the impact explosion, as the dust settled, the impact zone was not pretty. It might as well have been a meteor that crashed.
The crystal, has seemingly planted itself into the ground. It’s tip, pointed up towards the sky of the dead world. With time, the crystal started to grow. Extending up towards the sky, as branches started to grow out from it’s side – It started to grow wider as well. Soon, it took it’s place as the biggest tree on the planet…And, well, the only one that was alive. But alas, it would not last.
Inside the crystalized tree, it was hollow, nothing lay within it’s strong walls. But down below, underneath in the ground, the roots of the trees continued to dig deep down into the earth. Up above on the surface, leaves were beginning to form on the branches, crystalized leaves. However, it would be a year before their could carry out their ultimate destiny.
Back inside the hollow crystalized tree. In a hollow chamber that had been created while the leaves were maturing, oval-shaped, organic crystals were beginning to grow out of the ground. All around, underneath the tree, there many more of these chambers, many of them also beginning to develop many of these oval, organic crystals. Within each and every one of these crystals, forms, breathing softly, were laying curled up were dormant beings. Some with wings, some Horns, some without, and, but this was incredibly rare, ones that encompassed every one of the other ones.
A year later, the leaves had finally reached the end of their Regeneration Energy Restoration Phase. The time had come. Just then, the leaves started to faintly glow. The crystals started to dissolve, fading into golden dust that started to move up into the air. Pretty soon, large, growing clouds of gold dust started to form, spreading across the entire planet like a flood.
Finally, as everything was enveloped by the blanket of golden energy that lingered above the ground below, it all dropped, falling down to the surface. When all of the Planet was covered by the gold dust, the final stage began.
The forms inside the organic crystals, gently, started to move. Not in terms of full movement, just gentle gestures. Down in the first chamber where the organic crystals were emerging, strange symbols started to form in the skin of the crystal walls. Out from the very tip at the top of the tree, an aurora of light shined. Spreading across the entire planet, reaching everything that is dead. As the wave passed by over-head, the dust started to glow, getting brighter, and more blinding with every second. Finally, it returned back to the crystal tree, not vanishing until it returned all the way to the crystal tree’s top-point tip. The entire Planet glowed brightly. Probably the brightest in the entire universe. The gold dust started to flare up, moving like slow flames through the air, as they penetrated the atmosphere and reached out into space.
Before the golden light/flames could overstep their boundaries and spread out across the universe, everything erupted into a violent release. The light/flames intensified. Now flaring intensely through the air.
The violent release of golden flames projected a massive burst of light that soured out across the rest of the universe.
Back on the Planet, the tree started to shake, as it only got more and more intense. It felt like it might rip itself apart at any moment. Finally, reaching it’s climax, the intensifying light/flames finished it all off with one last explosion of golden light/flames. Unleashing a shockwave that rippled all the way across the universe, hitting every Planet in it’s way. Not only rejuvenating them, but leaving a little something behind, as well…Something, that might just be enough.
Vanishing, gently, away, the golden flames/light started to die down, decreasing in their intensity. Like a gust wind, the flames/light faded away…Leaving something in it’s wake for the new occupants of this world.
As the light of the golden dust vanished into nothing, an eye slowly opened up. It’s surroundings pulled itself back, revealing…something, honestly, quite similar. Opening it’s other eye, it looked out in front, seeing only several large strange rock shapes. Out of thin air, the shapes started to open up, revealing others that looked like itself, except with different physical traits.
After much time, the newborn creatures finally understood that they needed to ascend to the surface. But first, they had to find a way out of these large caves.
Taking their first step onto something that wasn’t crystal, they felt the soft touch of grass underneath their hooves. The first one to feel it’s touch sighed softly, as it enjoyed this feeling. Soon, others participated in feeling what was so enjoyable, as they too stepped out onto the soft, grassy meadows that greeted them outside the giant crystalized tree. Out behind the confines of their giant home, their eyes were meet with a beautiful, and magnificent sight. Rivers flowed through the landscape, bearing water from one location to another-giant, Snowclad Mountains could be seen far into the distance-forests stood at the roots of these new, towering mountains, and even some that stood separately.
Their new home, had been born.
As they spread out, they started to explore the new world that lay before them. However, before they could spread out and see all that their home had to offer, they heard a sound – A deep rumbling, if they were going to be specific. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the clouds started to darken.
‘’What is that?’’ One of them asked. Lifting it’s head, one of them looked up. Up above, before the clouds could blot out the world above, it spotted a ball of white light. Passing it off as nothing, she looked back down. Suddenly, one of them gasped. It pointed a hoof up towards the forest on the slopes of the mountain. ‘’Hey! Look!’’ He shouted. They turned their attention towards the forest, many of them, noticing something at the edge of the forest. ‘’Wait! I see something – What is that?’’ Some of them asked, pointing towards the same spot as the other.
The strange form by the forest turned. A wind started to take hold of it, pulling the dark fabric, and blowing it in the breeze. ‘’W-what is that thing?’’ A Mare asked. The figure looked silently towards it’s curious onlookers. Then, it started to move forward. It’s cloak being blown even further by the wind. Upon doing this, one of the Mares turned, and ran back inside the tree.
Galloping through various tunnels, she finally arrived at a dark, and silent chamber. At the end a lone figure sat by itself. It raised it’s head, turning it towards the newcomer. ‘’Yes?’’ It asked.
Back up on the surface. The darkly dressed figure, slowly made it’s approach towards the group that could not avert their gaze from it, no matter how much their tried. As it moved up towards them, it’s cloak trailed behind it, grazing the grass as it passed over them.
Upon getting even closer, they noticed that they couldn’t see any legs…or arms, or even a face. The only thing that they could tell was explicitly there were a pair of red pupils that looked out from behind hood that covered it’s head. At first they had thought it was just their imagination, but now the more obvious conclusion is that it isn’t. What they had thought was just a trick of the eye, was the newcomer’s left arm moving something forward as it stepped closer towards them. A white cane, but what was most suspicious about even this, was that it’s arm, or appendage couldn’t be seen.
‘’Question!’’ She squeaked, raising her hoof up. He looked towards the one who had spoken. ‘’Yes, Pinkie?’’ He said. She lowered her hoof back down upon hearing him acknowledge her. ‘’What has this got to do with anything? I thought…Oh, what was his name again?’’ She said. Twilight turned towards Pinkie. ‘’Isildur.’’ Twilight said. ‘’Right. Wasn’t he supposed to play some sort of role in this?’’ Pinkie asked, turning back towards him. ‘’If you’d let me finish, I could get to his part.’’ He replied. ‘’Ohhhh! Carry on then.’’ Pinkie smiled, sitting herself back down on the floor.
‘’Anyway…’’
As the figure finally reached the group of Ponies, it came to a halt. But it did nothing but stare out blankly towards the group of small figures in front of it. Averting his gaze from it for a second, he looked down towards the figure’s cane. It was sharp, and looked like it had been polished or cleaned recently. Following it up to where it’s appendage would be, he saw that the cane vanished inside the robe’s sleeves.
‘’G-g-gre-‘’ one of them tried to speak, but was shocked when a raspy, decrepit voice spoke up. ‘’ting!’’ It finished. It’s eyes looked down towards her, starring to hers. Her eyes widened, terrified. ‘’Okay, now this is-‘’ ‘’beginning to get creepy!’’ It spoke again, turning towards the second one who had spoken. ‘’Okay, seriously-‘’ ‘’what’s going on!’’ It said. ‘’Wh-‘’ ‘’at!’’ It repeated. ‘’Ahh-‘’ ‘’hhhh!’’ It repeated, again x5.
The creature raised it’s right arm, the ones who had their sentences finished, turned to look towards it. An armored gauntlet was held out, although, they more accurately resembled claws. The tip of it’s claws started to glow a bright white light. The pupils in their eyes vanished, making them turn completely white. Out from the claws, white tendrils began to emerge, flowing through the air. The tendrils moved down to the back of their heads. They moved through their skin, and entered inside their mind. Turning it’s head. The creature looked it’s hood towards the rest of them. Raising it’s cane, it pointed towards the others. ‘’Kill-‘’ ‘’them!’’ It finished for one of them. ‘’Y-yes-‘’ ‘’master!’’
They started to advance forward towards them, their eyes as white as the whitest crystals inside the tree. ‘’What have you-‘’ done to them!?’’ It interrupted again. Out from one of the claws another tendril slithered. ‘’Wait-!’’ ‘’no!’’ It protested. The tendril, with a speed much too quick to counter, moved to the back of the pony’s head. It’s eyes turned white. Slowly, it turned around, and faced the rest. ‘’Join-‘’ ‘’us!’’ They chanted. ‘‘Speak it’s name-‘’ ‘’and join us!’’ They chanted, as they started to trot closer towards the rest of the group. Their fur, was also beginning to turn a shade of white. All the color that surrounded them was beginning to fade away.
‘’No they will not!’’ A voice spoke from inside the crystal tree. Everyone present, looked behind them towards the doorway. The hooded backed slightly. ‘’No! But that’s-‘’ ‘’impossible!’’ It finished. ‘’I know how you work! When we arrived you had already started your little reign of terror, but after observing what you did, I can safely say that you cannot finish anyone’s sentences unless they meet your eyes.’’ The figure raised it’s cane, pointing the sharp end towards the entrance doorway. ‘’Regardless of this…little revelation, you cannot beat me-‘’ ‘’you will die trying!’’ They spoke in unison, narrowing their eyes. ‘’If that’s what it takes. Then I’ll take those odds!’’ The voice shouted.
A large beam shot out from behind the entrance. Ducking down, the figure dodged the blast. It turned back towards the door. Growling infuriated. It struck a battle ready stance, holding it’s cane out to swing it towards the insolent speck that had dared to defy it. But instead, it suddenly heard a soft outburst of energy…behind, it? It turned itself around, and looked behind itself. Before it got a chance to react, it felt a sharp pain in it’s right arm. ‘’Ahh-‘’ ‘’hhhhhh!’’ They screamed in pain. The tendrils retracted back out of the equine’s heads. With a swift thrust of it’s left arm, it swung it’s cane towards the attacker. But it caught it with it’s horn. ‘’Your efforts are futile-‘’ ‘’I no longer require a physical connection to control them!’’ They chanted. ‘’You are a foal! What chance do you think you have against me!? You think that I will fall by your hoof? You-‘’ ‘’like the rest of them will bow down to me!’’
‘’No! They won’t!’’ A voice spoke up from the crowd behind it. ‘’Rrrrr-‘’ ‘’rrrrrr!’’ They growled in unison. ‘’That’s-‘’ ‘’cheating!’’
In frustration, it swung it’s claw in an attempt to scratch him. His horn started to glow. A blue sphere formed itself around him. Before the creature could slow it’s speed, it’s arm passed through the protective sphere. A loud, howling screech emerged from behind it’s hood. As it pulled back, the group of frightened equines gasped. It looked down, finding that the part of it’s body that had come into contact with the force field had been turned to stone. It narrowed it’s eyes, looking back towards the Alicorn. They growled enraged. ‘’What is-‘’ ‘’this sorcery!?’’ It shouted. It touched the tip of it’s cane against the stones, only for it start to crumble away. Forming into a pile of dust and stones on the ground.
It held up it’s arm, but without it’s clawed appendage. Just starring, blankly towards it’s cracked limb.
‘’I may not have an arm-‘’ but this time, before it could finish, the Alicorn fired off a beam from his horn towards it. However, the beam was intercepted by the creature’s cane. The magic was res-shaped into a blue sphere, and floated in the air above the tip. The magic was absorbed into the cane. Turning it’s hood, the creature looked back down it’s arm, but nothing happened. They growled. It turned back, starring towards him. ‘’You may have taken a toll on my strength by destroying my hand-‘’ ‘’but that will not be enough to save you!’’ They said. ‘’Yes-‘’ ‘’is!’’ He said. The crowd of beginning-to turn white equines, grinned. ‘’Uh-‘’ oh!’’ He said, it now interrupting his sentences.
His eyes turned white, the color on his body was washed away. Leaving him exactly like all the rest. It raised, and pointed it’s cane towards the group of other ponies. The color-less Alicorn nodded his head, and trotted to join them. The creature turned itself back, and looked towards the group of remaining individuals. They were all huddled together, backing up towards the doorway. ‘’Those that submit to me now, will be permitted to excist as the individuals they are now-‘’ ‘’but refuse, and fight me, and your fate will be same as him!’’ They said, pointing their hooves towards the Alicorn. They looked at each other, thinking it over.
‘’So-‘’ ‘’be it!’’ It said, as none of them stepped up to submit it. They growled, as they trotted up towards the frightened group. ‘’No matter. You will speak, eventually, and when you do-‘’ ‘’I will be there to enslave you!’’ They said.
Up above, the dark clouds started to move hysterically in place. Raising it’s hood, the creature looked up towards the sky. ‘’What is happening-‘’ ‘’to the sky!?’’ They asked. ‘’It’s not supposed to be like that!’’ They said, beginning to look rather concerned. Noticing that it’s confidence had been weakened, they looked up towards the sky to see what had gotten it so worried.
High above in the sky. The clouds started to turn dark-red, as a deep rumbling once again filled everyone’s ears. The clouds were pierced by a violent rainbow colored beam. The darkly cloaked figure leaped back, out of the way of the beam. The beam surrounded that were still under direct control of the cloaked creature.
‘’No!’’ One of them screamed, reaching her hoof out, but it was already too late. They were gone by a thicket of light. Bringing it’s cracked arm up to the side of it’s head, it could no longer feel that it had control over the ponies.
Bringing that severed arm up in front of it’s eyes, it blotted out the violent light. Using it’s cane, it stood back up.
Suddenly, out from the beam a spear was thrown towards the creature. By the time it noticed the spear, it was not able to jump to the side, and avoid it. The spear’s sharp points cut through it’s robes on the left arm. Several of the ponies on-site, gasped, upon seeing what lay behind the robe. ‘’Look!’’ One of the mares shouted, pointing her hoof towards the creature.
Groaning, the creature stood back up. Using it’s ‘’cane’’ to support itself. It tried to touch it’s claw to it’s face, only for it remind itself that it wasn’t there anymore. The beam of light in front of them dissipated away. The equines gasped, upon seeing what stood in front of them.
‘’They’re alive!’’ One of the equines shouted, upon seeing that the group was un-damaged. ‘’Brother!’’ One of them called out, galloping over, and hugging the pony tightly. Looking out in front of them, they saw a tall, bipedal creature. It wore a long, body-covering, body robe, and a pair of golden gauntlets on it’s appendages. Unlike the first newcomer, this one did not have a hood over it’s face.
Glaring angrily, it looked back towards the cloaked creature. It raised it’s right arm, somehow, calling the spear back to it. It grabbed the spear, and started to move forward towards the cloaked creature. They attempted to follow after him. But he raised his left arm, motioning for them to stop, which they did. He lowered the arm, and continued forward towards the creature.
As he was getting closer to the creature, it looked up, noticing him. From behind it’s hood, it grinned evilly to itself. Now THERE, was a prize. With this creature enslaved to it’s will, it could enslave these pitiful equines without subjugating them like it had already attempted. However, there was nothing wrong with having a back-up plan, it thought, as it hid it’s left arm behind it’s back. Slowly, it approached the newcomer.
‘’Greetings.’’ The creature said, attempting to act as friendly as it could, though, considering it’s appearance, it knew that was rather impossible. However, it altered it’s voice to sound quite as Wraith-like. ‘’Do not waste my time with your tricks-‘’ ‘’…’’
‘W-what is happening!? Why isn’t my-‘ ‘’power working?’’ the newcomer interrupted the cloaked creature’s line of thought. It raised it’s head, casting a terrified glance back towards the newcomer. ‘‘I-impossible…Y-you cannot be.’’ It said, pointing it’s right arm towards him. A devilish smile settle on his face. ‘’Oh, but indeed I am, you know our name.’’ He said. The cloaked creature backed away, feeling for the first time in it’s life fear.
‘’You have no power here, Puppet master.’’ He said. He raised his spear, pointing it towards the creature. ‘’Now, I will give you a choice – Come with me, and live. I will take you away from this world to one where you cannot corrupt any others, ever again – Or the second option: the Final Option.’’ He said, sternly towards the creature. The Puppet master growled. It had already been given a new home, a home which coincidentally was now populated by new entities that it could control, torment, and do as it pleased.
‘’Sadly, that is an offer I must decline. I have grown quite accustomed to this new home of mine. I will not allow these meddlesome equines take it from me!’’ It replied, backing away from him. Gaining it’s original, raspy voice back. It was getting ready to play IT’S ‘’Final Option.’’
‘’But there is one that I must ask of you if you are to kill me.’’ It said, returning it’s, holding out it’s other, destroyed arm. He craned an eyebrow suspiciously. ‘’And what is that?’’ He asked. ‘’YOUR DEATH!’’ It shouted. It swung it’s arm towards, moving it’s blade arm towards him. He cast a stern glare towards the creature. ‘’You make me into this.’’ He said, just before the blade tip hit him. He raised his spear, using it to catch the blade arm. He made a quick shift of his body. Reaching out, and grabbing the creature’s blade arm. He pulled, and held the blade up till the creature’s hood. It struggled to free itself from his grip, but any attempt it tried was just not strong enough to escape from him.
‘’P-please, n-no!’’ The creature pleaded, fighting back against his strength. ‘’Sorry...I don’t give second chances.’’ He whispered to it. He held up the spear, pressing it against the creature’s back. Which only made it fight against him even stronger.
‘’Noooooooooooooooo!’’ It screamed. With a swift motion of his arm, he pierced the tip of the spear into the creature’s back. It gargled behind it’s hood, but he didn’t stop. He forced the spear deeper into it’s body.
It managed to free it’s arm from his grip. ‘’Rrrrrr!’’ It growled. It swung it’s arm around, trying to hit him. But being in the position it was, restricted it’s movement, and barely touched him.
The tip of the spear penetrated it’s torso, coming out through it’s chest. Within the crack in the creature’s chest, a faint glow of light shined out. Feeling it’s life force leaving it’s body, it started to stop fighting. It’s entire body becoming motionless, as it stood there. Trotting down towards the scene, the equines gazed up in awe at what they were seeing. Lazily, the creature raised it’s head, getting another glance at the ponies it had terrorized. Watching, silently, as they starred back at it. It raised it’s blade arm, trying to point it towards them, but it was no use, it was too exhausted. Too tired to do anything at this point…and it fell back down against the soft grass. The faint light inside it’s body shot up into the sky. The pony onlookers looked up, as the beam continued to shoot out of the creature’s body. Eventually vanishing away, as a burst of blinding light took it’s place.
The blinding light died down.
Retracting his spear back out, a wave shot out from the giant cracks in both it’s back and chest. The wave moved down along it’s body, turning everything about it into pure, solidified stone – Though, it’s face behind the hood, still, remained as hidden as ever. ‘’Wow.’’ One of the equines said, amazed by what it had seen.
It’s solidified body started to tear. Cracks beginning to emerge in the skin of the stone form. Eventually, as the cracks managed to scatter throughout it’s body, it crumbled away. Falling down on the ground, and breaking into dust. Before long, there was a pile of dust and stone. All that remained of the creature’s existence, was blown away on the wind, where the grains of dust, and the pieces of stone disintegrated, becoming…nothing.
In the aftermath of the creature’s destruction. The equines turned their attention towards their savior. The Alicorn Stallion that had been under the creature’s influence, approached the newcomer. Bowing his head in respect. ‘’Thank you stranger.’’ He said. ‘’On behalf of my people, I thank you.’’ He said. The others, behind him, nodded their heads. Some, even bowing them down in respect. ‘’Well meet. I am Isildur, first of my name.’’ He said, putting his gauntlet to his chest. ‘’Well meet, Isildur, first of your name. On behalf of the Exxilon race, I am honored to welcome to Exxilon.’’ He said, holding out his hoof, revealing the beautiful landscape around them. ‘’I am Calibos, first of my name. King of the Exxilons.’’
Isildur bowed his head. ‘’I am pleased to meet you, King Calibos the 1th.’’ He said. ‘’Please, come inside. We humbly invite you inside our home.’’ Calibos said, holding out his hoof towards the tree doorway. Wearing a smile, Isildur strode forth, towards the entrance. The other equines stepped aside as the duo walked up towards the doorway. Quietly, the group moved inside. Closing the doors behind them as to not experience any other disturbances.
‘’And that’s the story of the Exxilons. In the days to come, they convinced Isildur to stay with them, teach them, and guide them so they might thrive and become great.’’ He said. Twilight stood up, but her jaw was dropped. He cast her a nervous glance. ‘’Eh, Twilight? Are you alright?’’ He asked, giving her a gentle tap on the shoulder with his hoof. She shook her head, coming back to her senses. ‘’Hm? Huh? What?’’ She asked. ‘’Oh yeah. I’m fine…It was just, that all of that was just so amazing. I’ve never heard of anything like that before.’’ She said. He gave a gentle scoff. ‘’Well, you better get used to it, as when you’re travelling with me, things tend to get a little…hectic.’’ He replied.
He trotted up towards the console, and pressed a button. The floating images of Isildur, the files, the Daleks, everything, it all disappeared. ‘’N’awwwwww!’’ Rarity whined, softly.

The thing in the center of the TARDIS Console, finally stopped moving up and down. Followed shortly, by the sound of the TARDIS Engines, as well. ‘’Ah. We’re there. All righty then.’’ He said. He turned away from the console, and trotted back towards the door. Passing by one of the pillars, he made sure to grab his trench coat. Straightening it, as he put it back on.
‘’Oooo! I never got the opportunity to compliment your attire, darling.’’ Rarity spoke up, before he got a chance to reach the door. ‘’Oh really? Well, how do I look?’’ He asked. ‘’Hmmm…’’ She said, putting a hoof to her chin. ‘’You look a Stallion wearing a dress, sorry, but it’s true...Otherwise, though, it looks perfect on you, the color matches your mane, and the pockets are nicely placed, and easy to get to.’’ She replied. His smile vanished, and he lowered his head, as he trotted towards the door. ‘’Let’s just get this over with.’’ He grumbled, pushing the door open, and vanishing out.
‘’Come on girls, we should follow after him before he…’’ She suddenly let out a loud gasp, and turned towards the door. ‘’Oh no! He’s not a Pegasus!’’ Twilight exclaimed. ‘’So what?’’ Pinkie Pie asked, shrugging her shoulders. ‘’He cannot walk on clouds, Pinkie. He’ll fall right through if we don’t go get him.’’ Twilight said. ‘’But it will take too long to cast the wing spell. Twilight, we won’t make it in time!’’ Rarity exclaimed, equally as worried. ‘’And neither of us know how to pilot the TARDIS so we can’t go and get him.’’ Applebloom interjected.
Out of nowhere, behind Twilight, they heard the few words they didn’t expect. ‘’Hey! Come on, slowpokes! We haven’t got all day.’’ He said, before he suddenly vanished back outside again. ‘’Huh? But, Medic…Wait!’’ Twilight replied, confused, reaching out a hoof for him. But it was useless.
‘’I thought you said he was an Earth Pony.’’ Applejack said, stepping towards Twilight. ‘’I-…I did,’’ Twilight said, turning her head back, and looking into Applejack’s eyes. ‘’Then how in Equestria can he walk on clouds, sugarcube!?’’ She asked, confused. ‘’I don’t know, but I don’t we should waste time thinking about it. Let me just cast the spell so the rest of us can walk on cloud, as well.’’ Twilight said.

*Five minutes later*

The doors to the TARDIS opened again, and Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rarity trotted out. Their hooves, tapping gently on the cloud as they stepped onto them. ‘’And of course, you have remember that he isn’t a normal Pony, Applejack. He’s a Time Lord.’’ Twilight said. ‘’Wait, a what now?’’ Applejack asked, confused.
‘’Ah, girls! There you are!’’ They heard a voice exclaiming. They turned, looking out in front of them. He was standing on a cloud floor. ‘’Hey, Twilight! Over here!’’ He said, waving his hoof towards them. They saw that he was standing by several flights of stairs going up to the second level. ‘’All right. That’s Rainbow’s room. We shouldn’t waste any time finding her.’’ Twilight said. ‘’Who knows if the Daleks are even here.’’
‘’And considerin’ they can fly, they could be just outside the door.’’ Applejack said. They heard the sound of the front door opening, and turned around, seeing Pinkie Pie standing there. ‘’Nope. Nopony there.’’ She said. ‘’Pinkie! Close that door, and get over here! We’ve only got so so-much time before the Daleks catch up to us again…That is, unless they’re already here.’’ Rarity said. ‘’Then there’s no time to waste. Come on girls.’’ Twilight said. She trotted the stairs, and started to ascend them.
Trotting up the stairs, they eventually found themselves arriving at a door. Before he got the chance to approach it, he felt a hoof on his shoulder. He turned, and saw Twilight standing behind him. Giving him a soft smile. ‘’Maybe you should let me take this one. She isn’t usually quite as friendly towards strangers, and it would be more in your favor if I enter her room and explain to her what is happening.’’ Twilight said. He rolled his eyes, looking away for a second – Before bringing them back towards her. ‘’You’re right…My Lady.’’ He said, stepping out of her way. ‘’Why are you calling me that? I’m not royal.’’ She said, confused towards him. ‘’Meh. Just wanted to be nice.’’ He said.
Knocking her hoof gently on the door, she heard a ‘’Come in!’’ From behind it. Opening it with her magic, she pushed it open, and trotted, gently, inside the room.
Rainbow Dash looked up from her book, and saw Twilight, and a strange Stallion she didn’t know, trot into her bedroom, Pinkie Pie and Rarity followed shortly after. ‘’Hey, Twilight.’’ Rainbow greeted her friend, giving a gentle wave of her hoof. ‘’Eh, who is he?’’ She asked, pointing her hoof towards him. Twilight raised her arm, pointing it towards him. ‘’He’s name is the Medic.’’ She could already see Rainbow’s confusion mounting on her face. Before she could speak, Twilight replied with a ‘’Yes, that is his real name. Don’t question why, just accept it.’’ Rainbow raised a suspicious eyebrow, but still replied with a ‘’All right.’’
‘’Now, why are you here…? More specifically, why are you here with him?’’ She asked, pointing her hoof towards him. ‘’We’ve come to rescue you, Rainbow.’’ Twilight said. ‘’Rescue…Me?’’ Rainbow asked, pointing her hoof towards herself. ‘’Yes. These creatures called Daleks are after us. We can explain more on the way, but we’ve got to go now. Otherwise-‘’ suddenly, the cloud house shook. Through one of the walls, a red beam shot, going right through another, and heading off…to wherever.
‘’Whoa!’’ Rainbow exclaimed. ‘’NOW, do you want to go!?’’ Twilight shouted. ‘’Uh huh!’’ Rainbow replied, nodding her head. She leaped out of the bed, flapping her wings, and flying out the door. ‘’Well, come on, then!’’ Her voice sounded. Without hesitating, Twilight and the rest galloped towards the door.
‘’You are surrounded! You will surrender to the Daleks, or be exterminated!’’ A voice shouted towards them from outside the walls. ‘’Whoa! Whoa! WHOA!’’ Rainbow exclaimed, as she narrowly, dodged lasers that seemed to penetrate her cloud house with ease.
‘’Quickly! Head for the TARDIS!’’ The Medic shouted. ‘’What in the hay is a TARDIS!?’’ Rainbow shouted back. Giving a soft groan, he restrained himself. ‘’The big box thing in the middle of your front entrance! Trust me, you can’t miss it!’’ He called back.
Rainbow hurried down the stairs. But she came to a halt, as soon as she saw the giant, circular, rectangle in the middle of the room. ‘’Whoa. He wasn’t kidding.’’ She said. Behind her, she suddenly heard a voice shouting, franticly ‘’Get out of the way!’’ She turned to look behind her, but was only trampled down by Pinkie Pie. She felt herself being lifted up off the floor, as a magical aura wrapped itself around her.
Outside, the ships continued to alter their positions. Flying around. The ship’s crew, watched the screens. ‘’Exterminate them! Kill them! Annihilate them!’’ The Command Ship’s Commandant ordered. ‘’Wait! I am no longer able to read life-signs. They are no longer inside the house.’’ One of them spoke up. The Commandant rotated it’s dome towards the speaker. ‘’Are you certain?’’ The Commandant asked. ‘’Affirmative, Commander.’’ It replied. ‘’If our target is not present, then our mission is concluded. Order the rest to return to base.’’ It ordered. ‘’I obey!’’ It replied. It rotated it’s own dome back, and looked down at the controls of the ship. ‘’Transmit to Air Patrol! Targets have evaded! Return to base, repeat, return to base!’’ It’s voice echoed through the Communication Systems of the other ships. ‘’We obey!’’ The other voices scratched in the Commandant’s ship’s Communication System.
Turning around, the other ships started to fly back into the clouds. Becoming invisible, while doing so.

Reaching their destination, the small fleet of Patrol Craft flew downwards. They stopped in place, hovering over a large open space, as they awaited the gates to begin to open.
‘’Transmit the clearance code for external shield entry.’’ The Commandant ordered. ‘’I obey.’’ It’s co-pilot replied. The co-pilot rotated it’s own dome back, and looked down towards the screen on the control console in front of it.
Slowly, the large, steel doors started to open up, revealing a large space underneath. The Patrol Craft started to descend, moving down inside.
The door opened, and a Dalek entered inside. It’s body was white, with golden bumps, and vertical slats, and a black dome. As it moved through the chamber, it arrived at the center, where a shape similar to itself stood. It too had white body, with gold bumps, but instead of the same upper body, it instead had a large dome-shaped head, with a strange screen on the front, inside, which was a small vertical light that looked around. The similar-but yet different Dalek stood atop a base that were aligned with bumps like the ones on it’s skirt.
‘’Approach the throne!’’ The figure spoke. It’s voice booming throughout the chamber. The new arrival did as instructed, and approached the figure. ‘’Report!’’ It ordered. It raised it’s eyestalk, looking up to meet the figure’s gaze. ‘’Our attempts have been…Unsuccessful.’’ The newcomer replied. ‘’Explain!’’ The figure instructed. ‘’Every time our forces have gotten close enough to engage their targets, they have experienced interruptions. We believe it to be HIM.’’ It replied. ‘’Is there any word concerning the Omega-Project!?’’ It asked. ‘’No word has been received from our forces in the city, though, they are standing by, awaiting orders to reveal themselves.’’ The Dalek replied. ‘’Excellent! They will for the time being be brought in only when we are desperate. Unnecessary Dalek deaths are not desirable! Then, all that remains is for our final target to be destroyed. Are our forces standing by to carry out the operation!?’’ It asked. ‘’Affirmative. The Squadron Commander awaits my order, at which point they will carry out the mission.’’ The Black Dalek replied. ‘’Then the order is given. We must not delay! Our final target must, scratch that, WILL be exterminated before the night is passed!’’ The figure spoke. ‘’I obey.’’ The Dalek turned, and started to glide along the floor towards the entrance. The doors opened, and it moved out into the hallway.
‘’Now, we will have the last laugh!’’ It said to itself, as it was once again covered by the darkness of it’s chamber.
