Cretopolis 9:00 AM 6/05/3108
The Doctor had entered the compound next door. There were more minotaur-robots there. river Song along with Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy had entered shortly after. There was a man behind one of the desks
"I wish to speak with the chief." The Doctor said.
"You will have to make an appointment." The man said. "Chief Asterion is a very busy with the execution."
"Uhh what execution?" Fluttershy said. The man pointed his blue finger to the family of Judoon that had been arrested earlier. They were wearing some sort of rings around their necks. They were slowly entering some maze-like corridor.
"See this is why I need to speak with the chief." The Time Lord said. "All he did was take some food to feed his family, and they didn't do anything wrong at all."
"Well then, You want to speak with Asterion, you will have to rent a room at the hotel next door and wait until he's done executing the criminals." He had a smug smirk on his face.
Rainbow Dash was getting ready to punch the alien out until Applejack was holding her back. The group left the prison and went back to the hotel.
Meanwhile Amy and Rory were asking Ariadne about the chronosteel. The blue-skinned manager checked her records and said "Well it appears that the chronosteel has been taken to a second Olympus Limited building. Cheerilee and the others were busy having another class in the TARDIS the meantime.
The Doctor and his group returned.
"Couldn't file your complaint with the chief huh?" Ariadne said. "I can help you with that you know, and i can help you get the chronosteel."
"You can?" the Doctor said.
"Of course, The police rent rooms here all the time. And they have given me a map of the Labyrinth and other things you'll need to confront the Chief. And since this is part of Olympus Limited's branch of hotels, and that the C.E.O's my grandfather. I can help you get into the building where they're keeping the chronosteel."
The Doctor and his companions then huddled to discuss whether or not to trust her.
"Well should we let her help us?" Twilight said.
"I don't know she seems off somehow." Rarity said.
"Do we have any other means of meeting the Chief?" Rory said.
"No," The Doctor stated. "Nor do we have any means of recovering the chronosteel. I'm afraid we have no choice but to trust her."
"Figures." Rainbow Dash deadpanned.
"Ooh," Pinkie Pie said. "Maybe she has some super-secret passwords to help us?"
"River you are gonna have to help your parents recover the chronosteel." The Doctor said.
"OK sweetie." River said. "But why do you want me to help recover the chronosteel?"
"I know you took that Van Gogh of the TARDIS exploding from Liz10." The Time Lord said.
"So are we in agreement?" Applejack said.
"Um yes?" Fluttershy said meekly.
"Pretty much yeah." The Doctor said.
The group disbanded the huddle. The Doctor walked up to Ariadne and said "Alright you're in. For now."
"Perfect." Ariadne went back to her desk to get some files. The group then waited for a while.

Cretopolis 9:30 AM
The Doctor had took Twilight and her friends on a trip to the prison again. This time Ariadne was with them. The man at the counter was shocked to find the manager there. She took the man on the counter to a nearby hallway. He then said "Ariadne? What are you doing here?"
"I found these people trying to rob me of information on my grandfather. I wish for them to to meet the chief for punishment." Ariadne was trying to act violated.
"OK but why are you here?"
"Olympus Limited policy states that all descendants of any executive are permitted to supervise those that they want punished. You know this right?" she said.
The man gulped and said "Of course. It was Chapter 6, page 7, article 11 in my employee's syllabus. The control room is the door to your left. I'll go prepare them for execution now."
"The stasis rings should not go on the man with the bow-tie instead give him these. Understand?" She then took out a red microchip and a sword shaped thumb drive.
"Yes, of course." He then put one of the rings back and took the chip and thumb drive. He then exited the hallway and saw that Pinkie Pie was bouncing around the place and that there are robots chasing her. Fluttershy and Rarity were trying to restrain the party pony and Rainbow Dash was flying around the place. Twilight Sparkle And Applejack were just standing still. Their eyes glossed over with their pupils missing. The Doctor had came over to the officer and asked. "What are these rings doing here?"
The officer then handed him the chip and thumb drive, dropped the rings and said "They're called stasis rings. Perfect restrains for escapees." The robot minotaurs had just put a ring around Pinkie's neck and she stopped in place. They then put the rings around the other ponies shortly afterwards.
"Don't worry, They will deactivate when you enter the Labyrinth. Be careful though there are some switches that activate them when pressed." The ponies then entered the room where they saw the Judoon enter earlier. The Doctor had entered the area shortly after. Ariadne then turned on the intercom and said "Hello and welcome to the Pit of Daedalus."
The ponies' collars then started to deactivate. They started to move again. They were confused by this turn of events.
"What happened?" Twilight said.
Ariadne, over the intercom, explain that the stasis cuff put the wearers in a state witch temporarily cuts off all sensory capabilities and basically puts them in a deep sleep. She then asked the Doctor to put the chip on the panel to their left.
The blue platform they were on turned red. Ariadne then said "Be careful the [Red_Sting program will allow you to find your way back, provided the maze doesn't turn on you."
"Come again?" Rainbow Dash was confused.
"The rules of the pit is that the labyrinth will change over time: corridors will turn, wall will appear and disappear, and that the switches will have random effects; mostly involving the stasis rings. These rings will also activate if you try to cheat by going through the wall, flying, or using anything that interferes with the signals. If you want to meet the chief, you will need to avoid the minotaurs around the place and get to the center of the labyrinth. Also when you start the Camera will activate and your [execution] will be broadcast over the planet. I can control your pathway over the course of the labyrinth, but I also have to help the others steal the chronosteel as well. So I can't help as much as possible."
"Understood but what about this thumb drive?" the Doctor said.
"If you're doing what I think you're doing than you will need it." She said.
"Ok then, ready?" he said. The ponies nodded their heads and Ariadne then stared the maze. The corridors and wall around them stated to shift, separating the group. Ariadne then changed to another screen and said "This is Ariadne. Theseus is in the Labyrinth, i repeat Theseus is in the Labyrinth."
"Rodger that Ariadne." River Song, Amy and Rory were infiltrating an orange building several miles away from the TARDIS. They had entered the building.
"The Golden Fleece is at the peak. I repeat, the Golden Fleece is at the peak." The blue-skinned manager said.
"Rodger," Rory said.
"Why are you using call signs?" Amy said.
"For fun." Ariadne said. "Now then Jason, Medea, and Pheres. You will need to take the stairways to the left."
"Okay." River (Pheres) said.
Amy (Medea) had noticed a weird statue on one of the pedestals. The statue depicted a dragon of sorts except that the creature also had a lion's claw, a snake tail, and a horse's head among other things. The redhead then looked away from the statue and went upstairs along with River and Rory (Jason).
