Alcyone ♉ Rhapsody of the Chase

TARDIS 10:00 AM 6/05/3108

Cheerilee, Toola Roola, and Starsong had just finished giving the crusaders today's lesson. The pink unicorn and violet pegasus went to an empty room to talk.

"OK, Why did you asked to meet me here?" Starsong said.

"Well," Toola Roola had just looked around the room, feeling unsure of herself. "It's just that..." The two mares then noticed something move near the walls. But the figure vanished.

Just then they saw Cheerilee and the fillies galloping as fast as they can. The plum earth pony had some tally marks on her. The other two had saw some Silents walking toward them and decided to run out of the blue box as well. One of the silents went to the control panel where that strange gold-and-white device is , and yanked it out of the panel. The Silents had left the TARDIS to chase the ponies.

Cretopolis 10:01 AM

The Doctor was walking along the maze, trying to find the ponies and the center. Ariadne had just spoke into the intercom.

"Jason, Medea and Pheres are in the Colchis. I repeat, Jason Medea and Pheres are in Colchis." She said

"Are you using call signs?" the Time Lord said.

"Yes.".

"Why?"

"It's fun," She then whispered "Besides, nobody can't know we're trying to take the [Fleece] alright?"

"No, Why are you helping us?"

"Well, My mother went on a business trip to the company's headquarters, to change the way things work around here. She was supposed to been gone for 11 days. But she didn't return." Ariadne then shed a tear. "a few days later word had gotten out that her flight was sabotaged and the passengers killed. My farther did some investigating and we found out that the saboteurs were Olympus Limited employees. Once word got out that they were responsible the company responded publicly by lying that they fired the employees, and in secrecy by imposing new laws on this planet if you commit arson, murder, jaywalking, or even simply speaking ill of the company. You will still face execution."

"I see."

"I can lead you to the center. But the path will have to be invisible and I can't give you directions without alerting the Sentinels to your location. She pressed a button and the pathway in front of the Doctor glowed faintly. The Time Lord then followed the path.

Meanwhile Applejack was running as fast as she can. She had ran past wall that were about to move, and paths that started turning. She noticed Rainbow Dash behind one of the walls, and one of the Sentinels was closing in on her.

"Rainbow!" she said. But the cyan pegasus wouldn't budge. She couldn't actually. Her stasis ring had activated. The farm pony had decided to beat the Sentinel to the pegasus and moved as fast as she can. But the minotaur robot was moving faster. Luckily for her, Applejack had just made it and kicked the robot out of the path and over the walls.

Applejack then towed Rainbow dash to another pathway. The cyan pegasus's ring had just deactivated and confused said "Applejack? How did I get here? Where are we right now?"

"We're still in the maze sugarcube," she said. "Did you try flying again?"

The stunt pony had suddenly remembered the rules and sheepishly blushed. The two then noticed a glowing pathway in front of them. Applejack then said "Come on." and the two followed the glowing tile road.

Cretopolis 11:45 AM

Amy, Rory, and River had made it to the 11th floor. The very top floor of the building.

"OK," River said. "We've reached the peak. Now what?"

"Rodger that Pheres, There should be a switch to your left." Ariadne said. Amy had looked to that direction and saw a level there. She walked to the switch and said "I found it."

"Well pull it, the Golden Fleece should appear there." The manager said. Amy then pulled the switch and a pedestal emerged from the ground. On it was the chronosteel. The chronosteel had the constellations for Orion, Eridanus, Phoenix, Hydrus. and Taurus. The latter one was a vermillion hue and also had the sign for Taurus on it.

"Below the fleece there should be a control panel." Ariadne explained. Rory had noticed the panel there, it had green, blue, yellow, and pink buttons, 4 of each in a 4x4 pattern. she then said "OK now I will tell you the order of the buttons, You must press them in the proper order or else the guard will come after you." She then told the group witch buttons to push, Rory had been pushing the buttons in order. Amy had noticed an alien nearby. It was a silent. "Uhh Rory?" She said.

The Last Centurion had pressed the final button and took the metal. He and River had noticed the silent. River aimed her gun at the alien.

"We've secured the Golden Fleece, I repeat we've secured the Golden Fleece." Rory said.

"Copy that, return to the Argo and avoid these aliens."

"Don't have to tell me twice." Rory puts a tally mark on himself. River shoots the alien and the group runs as far down as she can. After a while they passed the statue again. Only there was no statue.

Cretopolis 12:00 NOON

Cheerilee, Toola Roola, Starsong, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders are running from the silence. The ponies had been running and hiding from the aliens for a few moments. They were cornered by the aliens at a dead end. The aliens were ready to electrocute the mares until...

Starsong started "singing". Her voice was breaking glass and making the aliens run in fear of having to hear that high-pitch wail. The mares them marked themselves and Starsong fainted.

They then went back to the TARDIS, hoping to never see them back there again. Even though they couldn't remember most of the encounter anyway.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TARDIS 12:11 PM

"Starsong are you OK?" Toola Roola said.

"I'm fine," she said. "What happened?" she looked at the marks on her body and said "Never mind."

While the mares and fillies had been resting in the TARDIS, Sirius and her group had regroup in her time machine.

"Any luck?" the cloaked woman said.

"Apparently Professor Daedalus had left a couple hours ago with his son and the Dragon Virus." Lyra said.

"On the bright side," Bonbon quipped. "The Doctor's group had managed to recover the chronosteel, they just have to escape the pit right?"

Sirius had nodded and started the time machine. The cloaked ponies and woman had vanished one by one.
