Scheat ⚜ The Beginning of the End

Ponyville 5:00 AM 6/14/2012

The cloaked figure was hiding nearby the woods, unaware that Lyra and Bonbon were stalking from behind a nearby house. The ponies were joined by Flitter and Cloudchaser. Flitter said "What are you doing?" while tapping Lyra with her lavender hoof.

The two mares were startled by the question. "Flitter, Cloudchaser, You're gonna give us away!" the green unicorn whispered. "Who are you stalking? I thought you two had each other." Cloudchaser teased. Bonbon replied "We saw this creature over there." as she pointed to an empty space. Flitter said "What creature?" "It's gone, must've went into the forest." Lyra exclaimed. The four mares had entered the Everfree Forest.

Everfree Forest 5:02 AM

The figure had seen 10 strange beings nearby a pale blue unicorn. She had a purple robe and appeared to had been strapped to a table. The others however looked like they were dressed in formal tuxedos and they have no mouths. "You think that Trixie will go and ahead and preform THAT spell?" the blue unicorn said. The strange figures replied "Yes; You have no choice, little pony. You will perform the spell and stop time."

"And what if Trixie doesn't have the power to do that then?" Trixie responded. "She may be Great and Powerful, but that spell looks like it would take the magic of 6 unicorns and she is only one. You [Silents] haven't thought of that huh?"

"This device should fix that." One silent then flipped a nearby switch and some sparking liquid started to inject into their captive. She moaned in pain as the more needles were injecting. The cloaked figure took out a Ray-gun and shot one of the tubes.

"Leave her alone." The cloaked woman then emerged from the bush.

"What are you gonna do? You cant even save your dimension from us 3 years ago." One of the Silents taunted. "You survived only by pure chance. You had no chance of stopping us [Sirius.]"

"Maybe, but I know someone who will."

"He will die soon. Silence will fall."

The four mares caught up the the cloaked alien and hid behind another bush. Bonbon whispered "OK so you proved your point Lyra, Humans do exist, Happy?"

Lyra said "I'm happy but she isn't." as she pointed to the show-mare. still screaming in pain. The fluids were still pouring in and her Horn had glowed a deep violet. One of the silents had noticed the ponies hiding in the bush. and vanished. Sirius pointed her blaster at one of the aliens and said "Let her go."

The silent held at gunpoint said "Fine, but know that silence will fall with the sun." The aliens undid the restraints and the blue pony ran in fear. The aliens had vanished in thin air and the four ponies were stunned.

"What just happened?" Flitter said as she scratched her green mane and pink bow.

"Weren't we chasing something of Lyra's imagination?" Cloudchaser said as she straitened her white and blue mane.

"Over there!" Lyra said. the cloaked woman had directed her attention to the 4 ponies.

"Oh horse apples." said Bonbon.

Ponyville 12:00 Noon

The Doctor re-parked the TARDIS close to the bakery. The Time Lord said "Well that should do it; now we should be able to head to the party." The time stallion was wearing a tuxedo and some saddlebags when River said "Doctor this is a casual event, not The Grand Galloping Gala. What do you think you will hope to impress at the party?". "What Pinkie said [dress casual.]" said the brown stallion. "I clearly seen more of Equestria then you then." deadpanned the pale green pony who then left. Meanwhile inside the bakery, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy were busy talking about the letter from yesterday.

Rainbow Dash said "Let me get this straight. You mean that something broke into Canterlot..."

"...Entered the Star Swirl the Bearded wing..." Applejack repsonded.

"...Took some spell that you claimed could stopped time and left..." Rarity said.

"...Then another creature came in..." Fluttershy said.

"...To warn Princess Celestia?" Pinkie Pie said.

"Yes," Twilight said as she took out the parchment. "I still have the letter."

Just then the Doctor entered the building and the girls halted their conversation. "Hello everypony" he said "I was wondering when the party was gonna start?"

The rainbow-maned pegasus had said skeptically "Why? That party is invitation only!". "Rainbow!" the farmer pony said.

"Ah yes the invitation let me see." He rummaged through his saddlebag. "Let's see," he whispered, "Psychic Paper, no. Sonic Screwdriver, no. Ah." he took out a pink and yellow slip that Said "Invitation." You gave me and my mate this two days ago. The party pony examined the small ship and said "Sure did. It's ok everypony."

Rainbow Dash put her hoof on her face and said "Pinkie, didn't Cheeilee said not to invite strangers?"

"The party is in 3 hours Doctor." Twilight said.

"Ah thanks." said the stallion.

"You know this pony Twilight?" Applejack said.

"He checked out some books from the Library last night." Twilight replied.

"Oh, i see by the way," The cyan mare said. "Where's your [wife] huh?"

Rarity cut in front of the cyan pony and said "Sorry about that Doctor, Rainbow Dash can get a little unruly."

"I see well time to go I have to prepare for tonight." The Doctor then left.

"Wait," Twilight said. "Can you help us with a problem?"

The other ponies save Pinkie and the Doctor were stunned, The rainbow-maned pegasus said "Can we talk to you Twilight?" The 6 mares had huddled in the back.

Rainbow Dash whispered "You don't really think we can trust this pony do you?"

"Uhh he seems nice." Fluttershy responded.

"Yeah but there is something...off about him?" Rarity whispered.

"Are you sure he didn't take the spell sugar-cube?" Applejack responded.

"I trust him, he seems super-duper fun." Pinkie Pie said.

"I don't know guys but i think he might be able to help. Besides the princess said that whoever warned her of the theft turned invisible and that the guards couldn't remember there was a breach." Twilight said.

"Ok then, but he still seems to be hiding something." the blue pegasus whispered.

The group broke their huddle and the Doctor said "So what do you need help with?". The 7 had then discussed the Theft from two days ago.

Ponyville 12:30 PM

River Song had left the Doctor to look around the town for something wrong. She bumped into Ditzy. "Sorry." said the gray pegasus. "It's fine." said River who left the pegasus to her business. She decided to go eat.

After receiving her menu she thought "Rubbish! Nothing here but hay and grass. The bakery had better food then this." She saw another green pony. She had a Pink and white mane and some peppermints as her cutie mark and for some odd reason was wearing a pair of sock on her back hooves. The pink-maned pony said "Hello would you like some Peppermints?" The other green earth pony then said "Sure why not?" River than took a mint from the strange pony.

The pink-maned pony asked "You're not from around here are you?"

The curly-maned pony said "No i just came two days ago, You?"

"I just moved here a month ago. Name's Minty." said the mint-green pony.

"River Song."

"So what brings you here to this quiet place?"

"I'm here on a [vacation] of sorts with my husband. You?"

"I'm here to spread the joy of Hearth's Warming Eve, Peppermint, and Socks." said Minty

"You know that holiday's not for another six mouths right."

"I know."

"And I thought that Pink pony was mad," River thought.

The fish-eyed mail-mare from earlier had appeared from with a package of socks and River said her goodbyes left some bits and left.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ponyville 2:00 PM

Toola Roola and Starsong were busy preparing for the party tonight. The two ponies bought some paints, brushes, crayons, and pencils. She said "Why did you leave your career behind Starsong?"

"It's complicated Tolla Roola." The violet pegasus said. "I mean there was the signing, the dancing, the records."

The pink unicorn pointed to the purple and pink star on her flank and said "But you were an amazing performer. Singing is your talent."

"It was but there was too many things to keep up with."

The two mares had noticed the Cutie Mark Crusaders playing with a beach ball. And The pink artist had lamented her loss. She said "You're lucky, at least you and Cheerilee had more time to develop your talents."

Starsong pointed to the paintbrush on her multicolored-maned friends flank and said "But you are an amazing artist."

"Yeah" sighed the artist as they were headed to the marketplace. There they encountered a zebra buying some fruit.

The zebra said "Oh some new ponies had entered town. / Child why do you look so down?"

Toola Roola said "It's nothing. So you're that zebra the fillies mentioned Zecora, Right?".

The zebra had noticed something and conversed with the two mares and then left. Toola Roola and Starsong went to the bakery.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ponyville 2:11 PM

The mailmare was busy helping Minty open all her packages.

"I don't remember ordering so many socks," Minty said, amazed at the huge mountain of socks.

Ditzy said "Oops. It appears I put a couple extra zeros there, sorry." Suddenly they heard a small scream from the forest.

"What the hay was that?" the mint-green earth pony said. The two mares decided to investigate. They entered the forest and saw Bonbon lying down, she was covered in tally marks for some reason.

Minty said "What happened?" Ditzy shrugged, they then noticed Lyra was nearby, unconscious and also covered in tally marks. The two mares then woke up. Lyra then noticed the marks on her cream-colored friend.

"Not again," Lyra then noticed the sock-loving earth pony and the ditzy pegasus "You need to get out of here."

"Why?" the pegasus said.

"I can't remember, but something's here, and it's dangerous." The unicorn answered.

"Is it that [human] thing you were ranting about?" Minty said.

"No!" The other green pony said, "Those things aren't pony OR human."

Meanwhile a little deeper in the forest Sirius, Flitter, and Cloudchaser, was busy evading the aliens, the two pegasi were also covered in marks.

"I don't get it." Cloudchaser said. "What are they?"

Sirius said "They're called the Silence. They are aliens that hypnotize you and erase any memory you have of their meeting you. The last thing you ever heard before, you'll do when the monster leaves your sight".

"Okay," Flitter responded "But what do they want?"

Sirius then said "Us dead, and the world stilled in time. We have to get out of here" The three had met up with the Lyra and Bonbon and noticed two other ponies are with them. Sirius had unveiled some panel hidden in the bushes and whispered "Teleportaion Code: β-α-Δ-ω-Ω-λ-φ." Multiple silents had emerged from the shadows. But several gyroscopic rings had emerged from the ground, spinning around Sirius and the ponies. until one by one they vanished.

meanwhile one of the silents had returned. He said "They escaped."

A transmission screen had appeared in front of the aliens. A woman with an eye-patch had said "Forget them. They are not the objective. The spell will be cast in a couple hours. find the Doctor and trap him in this world". The holographic screen had vanished and the aliens began moving toward Ponyville.
