Doctor Whooves: Savior of the Universe
Series 1



Episode 2: Vengeance


The TARDIS materialized in a huge forest in a different planet, The Doctor opened the doors and he and his companion, Twilight Sparkle, stepped outside.

“Welcome to Ceotis 6, the biggest natural reserve of the universe,” The Doctor said, “We’re billions of years in the future, relative to our departure, many planets have ended at this point and the civilization of this planet took many animals and plants from other worlds to keep them safe in this massive Noah’s ark of sorts,” He explained.

“Oh boy! There’s so much wild life to study here, imagine the incredible books I or somepony else could write about these fantastic animals!” Twilight gushed out in excitement, The Doctor merely smiled at her and walked forth, with Twilight following him.

“This is a natural reserve, so to study all of these things, we’ll need a permit,” The Doctor mentioned, “Do you even have a pen and notebook?” He asked.

“Oh, I left it in the TARDIS,” Twilight said, she ran back inside and came back with a small notebook and a blue pen. They continued walking and reached a huge metallic building, they walked inside and were greeted by a blue creature, it had a bike seat-shaped head with six eyes, three on each side, and a large mouth, it also had lanky limbs with long digits on its hands and double knees.

“Greetings Equestrian and Gallifreyan, how may I be of help to you two?” The odd being said.

“We landed our ship a few meters from here, it’s a blue box, could you bring it to the parking floor?” The Doctor said.

“Oh, of course, anything else?” The blue alien asked.

“Yes, where can we get a permit to study the wildlife of this planet?”

“At the reception desk over there, hand me the keys or whatever you need to fly your ship and I’ll get it,” The alien said.

“Thank yooou… Quari” The Doctor read the alien’s name card and handed him the TARDIS key, they then went on their way.

“Say, Doctor, how did he know our species?” Twilight asked.

“The Ceotu have special eyelids that serve as X-ray filters of some sort, he saw that I had two hearts, like the Time Lord I am,” The Doctor said.

“Wow, I learn something knew about you all the time” Twilight replied.

The two of them got research permits and headed outside to the forest, they began exploring and taking notes on the many animals, plants and other things they encountered. The Doctor had a picture taken of him sitting on top of a large crocodile-like creature.

“So, are you enjoying this planet, Twily?” The Doctor asked.

“Of course, I’m taking notes of all the weird and exotic critters I see,” Twilight answered, “I can’t wait to show this stuff to my friends, I doubt they’ll believe me though…” She said.

“It’s okay, it’s not like they have to know about all of your adventures, I’m sure you can live keeping it a secret,” The Doctor assured her. They continued to explore and take notes, they found many bugs that they would most likely not see anywhere else, and more species of unique fish than Twilight could be bothered to count. They were peacefully passing a crystal cave when they and the other tourists heard roaring engines above them, they looked up and saw a massive ship flying above them, it was golden and disc-like in shape and had domes at the bottom.

The Doctor was silent from shock for a moment, but he later said, “Oh no…”

“What is it? They’re probably just other people visiting, what’s the problem?” Twilight asked.

“Those aren’t any visitors there,” The Doctor said, still in shock, “That’s a Dalek ship,” He spoke.

“What’s a Dalek?” Twilight questioned.

“They’re the worst species in the universe, they hate everything and want to be supreme while everyone stays below them,” He explained, “I’ve stopped them before, but they always return, this time’s no different,”

The two of them rushed into a nearby cavern to hide from any Daleks that may show up, thankfully, none did, so they left and rushed to the reception building, but the Dalek ship was parked at the top.

“Those things must have control of that building, if we want to get to the TARDIS, we’ll have to sneak up to the parking lot at the rooftop,” The Doctor assumed, “That is, if Quari properly flew it up there,” He said. The two ran to the building and hid behind a rock before a Dalek found them once it passed, they walked inside and hid inside of an information booth, they noticed the dead Ceotu on the ground and Twilight shrieked in terror, almost getting the attention of the Daleks.

“Oh gosh, how did she die?” Twilight asked.

“Must’ve been a Dalek shot, those mutants don’t care how many have to die for them to get what they want, it’s disgusting to say the least,” The Doctor whispered, he checked over the desk and saw no enemies, so he gestured for Twilight to hop over and he followed.

The intercom of the building began to blare with a familiar robotic voice, “ATTENTION TO ALL LIFEFORMS ON THIS PLANET, YOU SHALL HAVE TWO OPTIONS: BE ENSLAVED BY THE DALEK EMPIRE OR BE EXTERMINATED ON THE SPOT, CHOOSE WISELY,” The Doctor and Twilight were distracted by the message and did not see the approaching duo of Daleks.

“IDENTIFY YOURSELVES,” One of them said.

“Uhh, I’m John Smith from Earth and this is Twilight Sparkle, we’re just passing by and looking for our ship,” The Doctor tried hiding himself behind his own word.

“SCANNING…” The other Dalek said.

“If they speak up, run for your life,” The Doctor whispered to Twilight.

“SUBJECT IS NOT IDENTIFIED AS EARTHLING ‘JOHN SMITH’, SUBJECT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A TIME LORD,” The Dalek said, “PRIME DALEK DIRECTIVE: EXTERMINATE ALL TIME LORDS,” It continued, Twilight and The Doctor ran away as the Daleks shot at their direction in unison.

“What do we do now that we can’t go to the ship?!” Twilight shouted as they ran.

“We either run or we get captured, killed, enslaved or some form of ‘all of the above’,” The Doctor replied. They headed deeper into the forest, but they saw more Dalek ships arriving, some landing in the middle of the wilderness, it took no time for The Doctor and his companion to realize that they could not run to safety.

Soon, various Daleks appeared around The Doctor and Twilight, surrounding them.

“THERE IS NOWHERE TO RUN, DOCTOR, WE HAVE YOU AND YOUR COMPANION, COME WITH US OR BE EXTERMINATED,” The, presumably, leading Dalek said, Twilight was crying out of fear, she thought she’d die there and would never see her friends again, and they would just think she randomly disappeared, when she actually got killed by murderous robots in the distant future.

“We surrender, take us with you,” The Doctor said. A Dalek went up to him and placed cuffs around his hooves, another one did the same to Twilight, the Dalek squad then guided their prisoners to the reception building and into the basement, where they killed the animals down there to make room for captured tourists. A red and golden Dalek hovered out of the shadows and spoke in a deeper, but still robotic voice.

“I SEE WE HAVE A SPECIAL VISITOR, AM I NOT CORRECT, DOCTOR?” The red Dalek said.

“Yes, whatever-title-you-have Dalek,” The brown stallion joked.

“I AM THE SUPREME DALEK, LEADER OF THE TROOPS THAT ARE CURRENTLY ATTACKING THIS PLANET, CEOTIS 6,” The red Dalek introduced itself.

“I really don’t care about whatever color or title you monsters have,” The Doctor angrily replied.

“TAKE BACK YOUR INSULTS OR BE EXTERMINATED, IN FRONT OF THESE PRISONERS AND YOUR PRECIOUS COMPANION,” The Supreme Dalek threatened, but The Doctor was hardly phased by it.

“Doctor, maybe you should take it back, I’m sure you can find a way to escape, but you need to be alive to do it,” Twilight said, still crying, slightly.

The Doctor was silent, holding back tears, he turned to his companion and said, “That’s the problem, I have no plans, I have nothing, I left my sonic screwdriver in the TARDIS and lord knows where that thing is now,” The Doctor was calming down, but still mildly distressed, “I despise many things, and one of them is telling someone ‘I can’t help you’,” The Doctor’s anger was turning into sadness as he looked at Twilight and admitted that he couldn’t do anything.

“WE DALEKS LAUGH IN THE FACE OF YOUR MISERY, DOCTOR, SOLDIERS, TAKE HIM TO THE CRONOS’ CHAMBER, KEEP THE COMPANION HERE,” The Supreme Dalek ordered, his soldiers obeyed and carried The Doctor further into the basement, Twilight cried in terror, but the Daleks held her back from following her friend.

“REFRAIN FROM GOING AFTER THE DOCTOR OR YOU SHALL NOT BE SPARED” A Dalek soldier told Twilight.

The Doctor awoke strapped to a type of chair, the room he was in was almost pitch black, save for the eyes of the two Daleks around him and a dim yellow ‘X’ flailing in front of him.

“RELEASE THE CRONOS” One Dalek ordered to the other and it obeyed, it used a control panel that released a lock around a creature’s mouth and opened a gate, the creature opened its gaping, glowing maw and roared at The Doctor, who was simply looking at it, not crying, not calling for help, not doing anything about this. The Cronos used it’s vine-like tendrils to grab the Daleks and throw them against the walls with great force, destroying their metallic shells, The Doctor smiled, as if he knew that would happen. The massive plant beast broke through the ceiling and crawled outside, scaring Twilight as it grabbed the Supreme Dalek on its way out.

“WHAT HAPPENED? WHY DID THE CRONOS ESCAPE LIKE THIS?” A Dalek soldier asked. Back underground, the beast’s acidic saliva melted the control panel for the devices keeping The Doctor trapped there, he quickly escaped before the building collapsed on him and met up with Twilight outside, where they witnessed the Cronos monster attack the Dalek ship.

“I think that monster just wanted to escape for all this time,” Twilight remarked, “So when it got out, it attacked those Daleks and got right out,” She added.

“Why it didn’t attack me is beyond, well, me,” The Doctor mentioned. The two of them heard a familiar engine noise, it was the TARDIS appearing above them, Quari opened the doors and they climbed inside, The Doctor closed the doors and took the key from Quari to fly away from that planet.

“Did anyone forget anything back there?” The Doctor asked.

“My notebook and pen! I think it fell when those things cornered us,” Twilight said.

“Okay, I’ll try to find the right coordinates, TARDIS, can you track Twilight’s stuff and take us there?” The Doctor requested, the computer screen turned green and the TARDIS de-materialized, appearing a moment later in the clearing where the Daleks surrounded The Doctor and Twilight, the coast was not clear though.

“ATTENTION, WE HAVE FOUND THE DOCTOR’S SHIP, ALL DALEK UNITS, LOCATE SAUCER E-ALPHA-TEN,”  A soldier outside of the TARDIS yelled out, sending a signal to any nearby troops, they seemed to be guarding Twilight’s items there. 

“Doctor, purple horse, I hope you can pardon my heroism,” Quari said, he rushed into the Dalek-infested field and grabbed the pen and notebook, quickly turning back and stumbling into the TARDIS before it took off.

“That was absolutely insane!” The Doctor said, calling Quari out for his actions.

“What matters is that it worked,” Quari kindly defended himself.

“Well, can we have one last look at the planet before we leave for good?” Twilight asked and The Doctor obliged, he opened the doors to have a good look at Ceotis 6, the TARDIS was shaking around due to being under Dalek fire, but there was nor risk of anyone falling off.

“Hey, those ships belong to the Centurion Alliance, what are they doing around here?” Quari wondered as he saw five sleek jets in a V formation coming in their general direction. Before any other words were said, the leading ship dropped a large bomb on top of the destroyed reception building, causing a massive explosion that one would be able to just barely see from space.

Quari, Twilight and The Doctor stared in terror as the bomb fell and was detonated, they heard the Cronos’ final cry of agony as it was decimated by the flames. The Doctor quickly closed the doors and took the TARDIS into orbit to truly see the damage.

From space, they had an idea of how bad the destruction was, the fireball became much bigger and it spread across the surface, reaping every plant and animal in its way, Twilight and The Doctor were speechless, so was Quari. The Doctor opened a video chat with one of the pilots.

“Why did you do that?” He angrily asked.

“We had reports of a Dalek invasion in this area, we are merely doing our job,” The pilot replied.

“So is it part of your job to mindlessly destroy millions of specimens from all over the universe, some of which that were otherwise extinct?” The Doctor ranted.

“I deeply apologize is part of the entire Centurion Alliance for this, we hope you can deal with this peacefully,” The pilot said.

“Well… What choice do I have, it’s not like I used to be any better…” The Doctor sighed before taking down the call, “Well, I guess I’ll drop you home, Quari, then do the same to Twilight,” He said and did as he promised, he stopped by Ceotis Alpha and left Quari there, then set off to Equestria.

“What did you mean by ‘It’s not like I was any better’, Doctor?” Twilight asked.

The Doctor reacted to this question much the same way he did all those years when Twilight was a filly, he stayed silent for a moment and said, “There are bits and pieces of my past that I’m not exactly proud of, but that I can do nothing about other than keep them tucked away, never to be mentioned…”

“Once you trust me more with your secrets and details, will you tell me about it?” Twilight questioned, The Doctor simply looked at her and smiled, Twilight nodded in response.

They arrived in Equestria the morning after they originally left, not any more or any less time, Twilight entered the library, slipped into bed before Spike woke up and caught up on the sleep she lost by traveling with The Doctor.


Somewhere across the galaxy


The Doctor had stopped his ship on an asteroid, he stared off into the void of space, thinking about his life, his choices, his home and family back in Gallifrey that he won’t see again, among other things, when he saw a large cylindrical ship heading towards a massive structure in space, not knowing what it was all about, he shrugged it off and headed back into the TARDIS and took off to another adventure.
