Time lords in Equestria

The Begining Of A Problem

The Doctor stares in horror at the object in the sky. No! No not here! Not here too!" He thinks, knowing what is to come in hours coming. Running into the Tardis he heads to the radar on the dashboard. The radar gives of a slight "Beep" along with a soft green glow. The Doctor grips two knobs and zooms in on the space ship. "Beep... Beep... Beep" with each sound another dot appears on the radar signifying another life form on the ship. He zooms out to reveal the entire country of Equestria. A single dot appears on a city the Tardis recognizes as Canterlot. "Their already deploying?" He thinks to himself.

A familiar voice reaches the Doctor. "Doctor, Doctor, where are you?"

The Doctor turns off the radar and rushes out of the Tardis to confront the voice. Rainbow dash lands next to him, her hooves hitting the ground with a "Thump" "Doctor, what it that thing? Up in the sky!"


"It's a Cyberman ship..."


"Wha- what's a Cyberman?" Dash questions.

The Doctor looks up to the ship. "Their beings that used to be alive. The Cybermen transformed them into... machines. Void of life and emotion and color." Dash gives him a confused look. "In simpler terms, their killer robots..."

"We can't let them do that here!" Dash proclaim.

"Oh believe me... They wont!"

A group of royal guards pound on Twilight Sparkles hotel door. She opens and looks at the guard with a groggy face.

"Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia requests that you see her at the royal palace immediately. I have been sent here to escort you to the palace." One explains.

"Wait, wha- what are you talking about?" She says while slurring her words and rubbing her half open eyes. She begins to get worried as she knows that if a royal guard is sent somewhere, then the problem at hand is gargantuan.

"The princess requests to see you immediately!" The guard repeats, seeming slightly annoyed.

When they arrive the entire palace is in disarray. Ponies are running around the whole place, turning the normally quiet area to complete bedlam. Papers are on being dropped on the ground while guards run to their positions, trampling them.

"Princess, what's happening?" Twilight asks.

"A large object has been spotted over Ponyville. Were sending guards there as we speak." Celestia explains.

"What do you mean by... large... object?" Twilight asks.

"We don't yet know what the object is however we are sure that it is not of Equestrian origin." Celestia admits. Celestia puts her head down as if she seems ashamed of not knowing of the objects origins. "Twilight Sparkle, I request that you return to your friends in Ponyville, they will be needing you."


Twilight looks down towards the floor in dismay. "But princess, what about Canterlot?"

"Do not worry my student. The object is only over Ponyville at the moment. I have the upmost trust in you that you can stop the threat before it reaches any other part of Equestria." Celestia comforts.

"Well princess... if you insist, then I suppose your right. I'll head to Ponyville immediately." Twilight accepts.

Twilight rushes out of the royal palace. She gallops through the markets and streets, avoiding ever pony except for one. She crashes into a pony and hears a faint "Clang." She looks to see the pony she seemingly ran over hasen't moved an inch.

"Um sir, are you okay? I apologize I'm in quite the hurry!" She says being confused.

The pony stares at her with cold unblinking eyes before walking away. Twilight catches a glimpse of his cutie mark which appears to be the round head of a robot. Twilight turns around and refocuses. She comes in sight of the royal hot air balloons.

"I need to get to Ponyville immediately! I've been sent by the princess." She explains.

"Of course Ms. Twilight." A guard says as he points to a air balloon. "We have a air balloon ready for you right now."

Twilight climbs on board as she is lifted off the ground and makes her way to Ponyville.
==============================================================================================================================
Applejack signals for the other four to gather near her. "Okay everypony gather 'round! We got a big problem 'ere and the six of us." Applejack remembers that Twilight was currently missing from the group. "er I mean five of us, at the moment, need to come up wit' some sorta' plan."

"The plan here is obvious. We need to go in there and kick some serious robot butt!" Rainbow Dash suggests aggressively.

"Their Cybermen." The Doctor corrects.

"Um well..." Everpony's gaze turns on Fluttershy. "I- I don't think we need to use violence. Maybe the robots will leave if we use kindness." Fluttershy protests.

The Doctor sighs. "Their still Cybermen."

Pinkie Pie jumps up into the air and frantically hops around the Apple family home. "We should throw them a great big party!"

"A party? Are you joking? Please tell me your joking." Rainbow Dash retorts.

"We can throw them a party so good that they'll be so happy, they'll have to leave!"

The Doctor intervenes. "The Cybermen have no emotions so that wont work. Really that wouldn't work even If they had emotions. Now that I think about it where did you even find the pink horse?"

The Doctor looks out the window and sees some filly's playing in the yard. He sighs "listen, the truth is, their here for me not your people. Before I got here I was attacked by Cybermen. That's what caused me to crash here."

"Oh dear you poor thing!" Rarity says. "You must have been absolutely filled with terror! Oh and were ponies, not horses dear."

"I may have also destroyed one, or two, of their ships before I crashed." The Doctor admits.

The five ponies back up in fear and shock. Applejack speaks up "Are- are you sayin' you killed them?"

"It's not like that." He explains. "Trust me they were devoid of any life far before I had gotten there. The Cyberman suck out any emotion and life from a brain and put it into a metal tin. They've been dead since then with their only purpose is to be servants."

The doctor's words leave the five at a loss. Half from fear and half from them trying to comprehend the situation at hand. The ponies remain silent. Fearful of what the Doctor was capable of.

Rainbow Dash manages to snap out of it. "Well listen, the Doctor probably only did it to protect himself. What would you have done?"

"Oh, well, I suppose you would be correct about that. We can't judge this man, we've all done things we regret now haven't we?" Rarity sympathizes.

"Is that true? Do you regret it?" Fluttershy asks.

"Err... well I suppose." The Doctor replies.

"Do ya piiiiinkie promise?" Pinkie Pie yells.

"Umm, yes? I suppose."

Applejack takes a deep breath. "Well okay then, but Doctor you need to promise one thing. Y'all won't kill or harm anythin' while ya here."

"I won't" The Doctor promises. "So with that all settled, would you mind if I could check out that signal? You could come with me."

"Umm sorry but has everyone forgotten about the gigantic metal space ship?" Rainbow Dash points out.

"No but the Cybermen couldn't have found me here unless they picked up the same signal that I did. My Tardis is designed to not give off any signals." The Doctor explains.

"Well than what are we waiting for? Lets go!" Rainbow Dash proclaims. "Umm where is it anyway?"

"According to the Tardis sensors the signal is coming from a cave in someplace called." The Doctor squints to see the words on his sonic screwdriver. "Canterlot?"
