The Doctor woke up when he felt a needle on his coat. The first thing he saw was the dead body of Dr. Krath next to him. He then turned his head to see Davros being cornered and taken away by a group of daleks, and a gray winged unicorn with a syringe on his hooves. “Wh- What?” “You found out who brought you your old friends.” The gray pony said to the Doctor. “Now, you must find out how and why. See ya Doctor! Nice dreams, Derpy Doo.” Saying this, the gray pony disappeared with a flash of light. The Doctor slowly got up stumbling. He regained full consciousness and went back where Derpy was standing. She was shaking in fear and didn’t notice the Doctor when he was running to her. “Are you alright? Derpy? Derpy? Are you alright, Derpy?” The Doctor asked to Derpy, who snapped. “Are you ok?” “Ok? OK?” Derpy began to yell to the Doctor. “My wings are broken, I’m stuck in a foreign planet, I was threatened by a burned old creepy pony, I almost lost my ponyhood, the monster of my nightmares talked to me, and in the top of all, the only pony I can trust is UNTRUSTABLE!” “Did you heard that?” The Doctor asked. “Yes. All the things he said about you… those things were true?” The Doctor breathed. She was asking something about his past. Something he never wanted to relive again. “Yes. Yes, that’s true.” “You… commit murder?” “No. Genocide.” He could felt how Derpy’s heart was breaking. “Wh-why?” “The last time war. The Daleks and the Time Lords were fighting in an endless war. It was destroying the universe. I was trying to help wherever I could, but it was fruitless. Unless I did something, all of reality would be destroyed. I did it because I had no other choice. No more daleks. No more Time Lords. Just me: The Doctor, the Last Time Lord. I’m sorry Derpy. It’s something I’m not proud of.” “Just let me understand it.” Derpy put a hoof on her head. He didn’t want to do that. But still, he did it. Still, he’s the only one who could get you out of there. Still. “My head’s hurting. Just one little question: if there is a way to change that, would you change it?” “I don’t know. The Time War was time locked, no one could ever change the events if they wished. My family, my friends, they are gone. Those people didn’t deserve that fate. If I could I would change it.” “I understand you. You were facing a hard situation and you didn’t see another exit. I can see how hard it was to you.” Derpy said, putting her wing in the Doctor’s back to hug him. He responded the hug with another one. “Thanks Derpy.” “EXTERMINATE!” They cut their hug when they heard a dalek at the other side of the wall. “What should we do?” “I bet your wing should be fine.” “Why?” “Because we need to go to that air vent.” As the dalek was entering the room, he noticed the pony at the air vent. The dalek pointed him until it saw the pony waiving to it. “I’m sorry, but my plans for today don’t include ‘to be exterminated’. Too bad”. The Doctor put back his head in the air vent before the dalek could hit him. May 26, 4979 CE, 2:00 am, Farben Camp, Jakuta Planet. The Doctor and Derpy left the facilities from the air vent they entered. They were in the place where they last saw Revan. “This place must be filled with daleks. If we don’t do something, not just Jakuta but all of the universe would be in danger.” The Doctor wondered. “What should we do now?” “If Davros had a place where he would mutate the ponies into daleks, he must have a place where he could put them into their machines. That’s it.” “What?” “If we go to that place and find the production line, I could build something to blind them and stop them. But we must be quiet. Very, very quiet.” He pulled out his screwdriver, pushed some buttons and put back in his jacket. “I hope the TARDIS come soon.” May 26, 4979 CE, 2:30 am, Dalek Production Lines, Farben Camp, Jakuta Planet. They walked to the buildings, avoiding getting sight by any dalek. At last they found the production line, but when they opened the door, they were caught by a dalek. “STOP THERE!” “Look, I know we had some troubles in the past but…” “EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!” “You salt pepper! Exterminate this!” A voice came from behind the dalek, and the dalek was shot with a death ray. “Thanks heaven you’re alive, Revan.” The Doctor exclaimed. “Those things started to kill us and they even capture some of us. Apparently they like the smartest ponies.” Revan said. “Revan, I need you to do something for me. Find all the ponies alive and take them away from here. I don’t care if they are actikush or illionites, I want them out.” “Right, what about you?” Revan asked. “Derpy and I are going to stop the daleks. Good luck.” “Good luck to you too.” The Doctor and Derpy ran through the production line, where the Doctor grabbed a dalek eyestalk and a dalek gun. “Right, what now?” Derpy asked. “Don’t be impatient. If Davros was rebuilding the daleks, he might had a place where he could watch them. Like a visualiser room.” “Where do you think that place could be?” “I dunno. Perhaps we got luck if we look into a map.” The Doctor saw a map in one of the walls. “This map may show the routes that were used by Davros to go to the facilities without getting caught.” “If he was so smart, why he did those maps?” “He didn’t. I bet Dr. Krath did it.” “Doctor!” The Doctor turned his head to see Dr. Krath, Revan and other ponies standing next to him. Krath was holding Derpy as an hostage. “Krath. You’re alive. But-” “How?” Krath smirked. “Do you have any idea how long the daleks have been in Jakuta?” “But we saw you died. I saw you died!” Derpy exclaimed. “Maybe, but maybe the daleks didn’t need me alive. Just needed me.” As he was saying that, a miniature dalek eyestalk extended from the heads of him, Revan and the other ponies surrounding the Doctor and Derpy.
