Cretopolis 1:00 PM 6/05/3108
"Theseus, come in," Ariadne was trying to contact the Doctor. "Theseus come in." The Doctor had been moving on the path way, he had traversed several blocked paths and turning corners. The Time Lord stopped in front of a door and said "Yes Ariadne?"
"The Argonauts have the Golden Fleece, I repeat The Argonauts have the Fleece." She said.
"I see, This door in front, is that where Chief Asteron is?" The Doctor then took his thumb drive out of the pocket. Ariadne then said "Yes." and the madman entered the door. Ariadne meanwhile had noticed a file titled "Prophecy.doc" and started reading it.
The room housed several computers and monitors but no other life form in sight. The Doctor walked around and said "Hello?" The computer screen at the center turned on and an image a red horned alien appeared on the screen. "Who is this!?" the computer bellowed.
Meanwhile the Sentinels had turned red and the maze started shifting. Applejack and Rainbow Dash were galloping as fast and as far as they can. They saw a red sentinel was chasing Rarity and Twilight. The orange earth pony had intercepted the red minotaur robot and kicked it over the walls. The wall then started shifting around them the four mares had decided to stay on the same platform.
"Have you found the others?" Twilight said.
"No," Applejack said. "Just Rainbow Dash."
Just then they saw two figures enter the changing pathway. It was Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. They were being chased by a stampede of Sentinels. Twilight and Rarity then used their magic to levitate the robots but the moment they had flung them over the ever changing walls their stasis rings had activated freezing them in place. The 2 mares had reunited with the others.
After a few minuets Fluttershy said "Did you find the Doctor yet?"
"Not yet." Rainbow Dash said.
The unicorns had regained their consciousness after a few moments. Rarity was stretching her hooves and said "First these so-called [self-help] lessons, now this. I'm starting to like these minotaurs less and less."
"Iron Will wasn't that bad." Fluttershy said.
The 6 friends then decided to wait until the changing maze stops on a path they can traverse. Back in the room with the computers The Doctor had noticed something on the monitors. It said "Police Operating System: Asterion. Property of Olympus Limited." The Doctor then walked forward and said " So you're Chief Asterion huh?"
"Yes, I am Chief Asterion. Created by Nimon science. I was programmed to eradicate crime from Cretoplis."
"You call putting innocent lives in stasis and sending them into a labyrinth to die [stopping crime?]"
"These beings are hardly innocent; If that family haven't been poor, the Judoon imprisoned earlier would not have a reason to steal. Kindness leads to Naivete, Naivete leads to Fear, Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to Hate. It's called survival of the Fittest."
"It's called faulty logic is what it is." The doctor then took out the thumb drive and looked for an USB port. He said "What kind of people would think that elimination innocents is a good thing?"
"My creators the Olympians of course." Asteron replied.
"Who are the Olympians?"
"That information is classified. And soon to be useless to you. You will die in this maze. But before I execute you may I ask Who you are?"
The Time Lord then waled up to the port and said "Who am i? I am known by many names, The Oncoming Storm, The Bringer of Darkness, and most common of all," he inserted the Drive and said. "I'm the Doctor."
Asteron's mainframe had a window pop-up. the window read "Virus detected, Code [Theseus's_Sword.exe]" The computer had been scared, In it's final words it said "What are you, You should be dead." before his programming had been formatted. The breaking commutator then said "Cake is a lie. 6x7=42. Isaac Newton's theory... Never Gonna Give You Up... Noooooooooooooooo!"
The screens went pitch black. Outside the room the walls of the maze had started disappearing. The ponies stasis rings had shorted out and fell off. Ariadne then said "Doctor I've found something interesting can you meet me outside?"
The Time Lord had noticed the ponies trotting toward the exit and said "Yeah sure." He then took the thumb drive and left.

Cretopolis 1:15 PM
The Doctor and the ponies had exited the Pit of Daedalus. Outside they saw Ariadne and the officer from earlier. The sentinels outside had been shut down. The Doctor went up to the aliens and said "What did that virus do?"
"The Sword of Theseus is a virus capable of shutting down entire systems. I know how to reprogram Asteron's systems, but I need some one to shut it down from the inside. I knew that you would try to stop him the moment you saw that family get arrested." She said.
"Who are the Olympians?"
"What Olympians?" Twilight said in confusion.
Ariadne said "The Olympians are a group of the highest executives of Olympus Limited. All that is known of them is their leader is Max Zeus."
The group saw Amy Pond with River Song and Rory. They had the chronosteel in their hands. The Doctor's group was about to head back to the TARDIS until...
"Wait," Ariadne said. "There's something else I found."
"What is it this time." River said.
"I found a document entitled [Prophecy.]" Said Ariadne. "The document read of the falling of silence, the screams of 88 stars, the death of 108 planets and the return of something in Latin. I believe it was [Diabolus ex Vinco] was it?"
The Doctor was a little shocked by this message. He and his group returned to the TARDIS. The Doctor did a roll call and shortly afterwards the blue box had disappeared.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TARDIS ??:00
The Doctor took the chronosteel into the dwarf-star-alloyed room. He let the metal go. The chronosteel rose up and took their places in the night sky. The piece with the Taurus sign (♉) had been glowing a reddish orange and the one with Aries's sign (♈) now glowed a deep crimson red. The Antikythera mechanism had activated again and the needle now points to the sign for Gemini (♊). The Doctor now had 11 pieces of chronosteel. He took the mechanism and began to study it.

Cretopolis 3:00
King Minos was sitting on his throne. A man had entered the throne room.
"I have been expecting you Hermes." Minos said. His daughter, having returned from the hotel had been hiding behind a spire.
Hermes had taken out a pair of wings from his shoes and used them to make a holographic screen. Black silhouettes on a white background appeared.
"So the Doctor's isn't dead then huh?" the center-most figure said. "Did he took the bait?"
"Yes, Our backers had gotten he laser screwdriver from the TARDIS and the statue from one of our facilities."
"Good," the figure to the right said. "Let the fool collect as much of the chronosteel as he wants, it will only bring our goal closer to completion."
"What about the people the cloaks?" the figure opposite from the previous one said. "They don't look connected to the Doctor in any way at all."
The eye-patched woman had appeared in the throne room and said "Wrong, their leader has all the connection she needs. And all the motive she'll need to foil us."
"I see," Minos said. "And what motive would they need then?"
"When your home is destroyed you are left with nothing right?" she said. Several silents had appeared behind her. "Wrong, she has just one thing left after that. And she will do everything in her power do protect that one thing. Even when everything else is reduced to ashes."
"Let them try." The first silhouette said. "They will never succeed in stopping us from bringing back the Gods." The screen went blank. Hermes put back the wings and vanished. Ariadne heard the whole conversation and tried to escape to warn the Doctor. But some Sentinels and silent had block her path. She ran and ran until the aliens caught her. They took her to a nearby spaceship. She began to scream as the spacecraft left the planet of Cretopolis
