The Doctor and his companions entered a large castle. The place was adorned with decoration involving gold and falcons.

The Doctor had noticed how big this place is. He saw a pig-man. The pig-man said "Are you the Doctor?"

The Time Lord responded "Yes."

"The queen wants to speak with you. She also requests an audience with you, you, you, you, you, and you." The pig-man said as he pointed to Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Futtershy and Rainbow Dash. The pig-man then said "And no one else."

The Doctor said "Well alright." He then went up to River and whispered in her ear "Take the others and find the TARDIS." The pig-man escorted him and the representations of the Elements of Harmony then went to the throne room. While River, Amy, Rory, Cheerilee, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Toola Roola, and Starsong went to find the blue box in the castle. By this point the storm had made it to the castle and rain and lighting can been seen from the windows.

River's group was searching for the TARDIS. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were bouncing instead of trotting. The storm was getting worse outside. Rabbits were being eaten by falcons in a room across from the halls.

Toola Roola however was felling uneasy. She went to Cheerilee and said "I think we should search somewhere else, don't you?" She looked at the falcon statues around the hall and gulped.

Cheerilee noticed her multicolored maned friend's expression and said "Alright then." The plum earth pony went to Amy and said "can we check somewhere else? I don't think we'll find anything else here."

Amy then checked to see that they had stopped at a dead end. There were no doors save the one leading back to the main hall. Everyone decided to check some other part of the castle and left the corridor.

When they exited someone entered the castle through a hidden passage outside. It was Anthony. He said "Alright [Your highness] let's see you try and rule us with an iron fist after this." His comrades had entered through the passage and started setting up the transmitter.

The pig-man had led the Doctor's group to Circe's throne room. Circe had stood up and said "So you're here for the chronosteel huh?"

"Yes." he said "But that's not the only reason. I want you to change the children of this planet back."

The queen sighed and said "Don't we all? I suppose someone told you about what happened 108 years ago?"

"Listen," said Rainbow Dash "we don't want to hear all that [you did what you have to do] nonsense."

"Rainbow!" said Twilight. The blue pegasus was about to charge Circe until Applejack held her back by the tail.

"Too bad," The queen said. "You had been deceived Doctor. While it was true that I found the secret of immortality and that a business made the children into rabbits. They did it for different reasons."

"What reasons?" The Doctor said.

"The chronosteel is in my staff of Helios, I studied the sound-waves emitting from it and use it as a fountain of youth of sorts. However these sound-waves are also the same reason the for the rabbit baby boom Doctor."

"Explain." Rainbow Dash said after calming down. Fluttershy was trying to comfort some rabbits that hopped in.

Circe took the staff and opened a hidden compartment at the top. She took out some spheres. One of them had the constellation and sign for Virgo (♍) and was glowing a bright yellow. The other spheres had one of the constellations of Corvus, Crater, Sculptor, Carina, Circinus and Crux each.

She gave the spheres to the Doctor and said "The children will return back to normal as soon as the chronosteel leaves the planet Doctor. I'm prepared to rule a planet where all is free to live and die as they wish."

The Doctor looked at Circe's eyes and knew she spoke the truth. A fact Applejack was also aware of. The Doctor took the spheres form the queen's hands.

Pinkie Pie let out an outburst and said "You know? You may be the nice queen we've ever met. And I know cause the only other queen I've met was nasty, she was a changeling and tried to overthrow the princess and--" Everyone told to to hush.

The Doctor said to Circe "Good luck."

They heard an explosion come from a distance. The Doctor's communication device rang. He answered the device. River was on the line. She said "Doctor, they're here."

The Doctor hung up the device and said "Come on." to the ponies. They then left the throne room followed by the queen.

Aeaea 12:14 PM

The Silents had emerged in the castle. River and Amy were trying to shoot the aliens while trying to get to safety. They had eventually found a safe spot in a nearby dining hall and kitchen. They were safe, for now.

The fillies had noticed some carrots on the table and began to eat the green parts. Cheerilee was a little worried. She said "Umm don't you think this is not a good time to eat?"

Sweetie Belle said "Nope." Then continued eating the food. The plum earth pony had noticed that the Crusaders had some sort of whiskers on their faces. But was distracted by more immediate matters.

Meanwhile Rory took a spear from a nearby suit of armor and began to check the area for Silents. Amy went with him.

She said "Rory, do you think we will be able to live to save the multiverse?"

The nurse was a little confused. But he said "Of course, why would you ask that?" He felt a little dumb after asking that question. Rory remember what happened to her back at Stonehenge, and what happened to him before that. He knew that there was a chance of dying. But they took that chance anyway, he thought to himself 'Why?' They saw some shadows on the other side of the hall. The Last Centurion pointed his weapon and said "Who's there?"

The Doctor and his group had emerged from the other end. He said "Ah Rory, glad we found you."

"Doctor?" Rory said. The Time Lord answered yes and Rory and Amy decided to let them in the dining hall to discuss what to do next.

Meanwhile at the other wing of the castle. Anthony took out a box of scrap metal from the cave and started tinkering with the transmitter. A group of Silents had emerged and said "We could not find the Doctor or the queen. They had escaped."

Anthony looked at the Silents. He had an eye-patch on. He said "That queen is a tricky one. [All for the children] she says. Try harder. Find the queen and take the chronosteel for our people at Olympus Limited."

The Silients had left. Anthony said "Silence will fall [your highness.]" with a tinge of sarcasm.
