There he saw Cheerilee. He said "Did you find them yet?" The plum earth pony said "No." The Doctor noticed something familiar around him. He checked the capsules and said "Well I think I know where they are." The Doctor checked the capsules again. He can definitively sense the presence of the bearers. Cheerilee noticed that something was glowing in the Doctor's bag. "What's in there anywhere?" She said after pointing her hoof at the bag. The Doctor open the bag and saw the chronosteel with Aquarius was glowing. He thought 'Well I did say that the blood chronosteel may have unique propitiates.' The metal spheres began to glow followed by the capsules, The Doctor could make out several silhouettes in the capsules. The Doctor and Cheerilee began to examine the capsules. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ponyville ??:00 Fluttershy was still in her wrecked cottage. Wanting to keep herself away from the other ponies. Outside the cottage Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rainbow Dash were noticing the state of the home. The winds were glowing at an unusually high speed. Applejack and Pinkie were worried Rainbow Dash even more so. The trio made their way to the door. Applejack found a large amount of rope and thought it would come in handy. Rainbow Dash tried opening it and said "It's locked." They heard a voice inside. The voice said "Who's there? Go away!" Pinkie said "Fluttershy? It's me Pinkie." Rainbow Dash said "And Dash." Applejack said "And Applejack." The orange mare took a careful look at the cottage and added "What in tar-nation happened here?" Fluttershy opened the door and said "What are you doing here?" The rainbow maned pegasus said "We came to get you out of here." The yellow pegasus said "You can't. I don't want you to be seen with a monster like me." She tried to close the door but Rainbow Dash blocked it with her hoof. She said "You want to tell us what happened?" Fluttershy sighed and let the three in. They saw that the inside of her cottage was just as run down from the inside if not more so. Pinkie Pie thought she'd seen the house in that same state before and thus said "Did you see Iron Will?" Rainbow Dash and Applejack were confused. Thought they had heard of him once they didn't know who he is. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie explained who the minotaur was. Rainbow Dash said "But Fluttershy you can't let that stop you from being who you are." Fluttershy said as she walked away "It's too late for that. I'm too far gone. Too--" She than collapsed. She saw images of her and Dash in a watery cyclone. She heard a voice say "You must remember." The other 3 ponies were worried. Rainbow Dash went over the yellow pegasus and try to help her. The pain had numbed. Fluttershy was staring to remember. This was the point before... The 4 had seen several tornadoes coming towards the cottage. They escaped the cottage and try to flee from the tornadoes. They were chased all the way to a fork in the road. There were tornadoes surrounding them. Tornadoes to the right, twisters to the left and nasty windstorms behind them. Pinkie Pie said 'What do we do!?" Fluttershy felt something guiding her to the left. She looked at Dash and the others and said "Do you want to go left?" The twisters in the right side were closing in. The mares had decided to take the right path. Applejack used the rope to tie herself to Rainbow Dash. The rainbow maned pegasus said "Hey!" Applejack said "You want to be blown away?" She then tied Pinkie and Fluttershy together as well and then said "Go Now!" Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash flew into the tornadoes to the left path. The windstorms had became gale force walls to either side. Applejack and Pinkie acted as anchor to keep the pegasi from flying off. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were flying as fast as they can knowing that the earth ponies can catch up. Fluttershy's speed was waning. The tornadoes from behind were closing in as were the walls of wind. She and Pinkie were about to get caught until... "Gotcha!" Rainbow Dash had grabbed Fluttershy by the hoof. Futtershy was a little glad to see her friends care for her even as a monster. Rainbow Dash flew the other 3 into a bright light that appeared in the path. They saw themselves inside a metropolis of sorts. Applejack recognized the place and thought 'It can't be...' The 4 took off the rope and went to find out where they are and who they would find there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Atlantis 1:00 PM River Song was keeping a close eye on Homonoia. The rest of the Doctor's group were waiting for him and Cheerilee. Inside the back room the Doctor saw the mist slowly transform into a solid form. He said to Cheerilee "Go and tell the others that I'll be a little longer then wait outside." The plum mare said "Okay" and left. The Doctor continue to see the mist transform into the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. However the solids form lasted a second. The ponies still have a long way to go. In the split second before the mist became the dominant form The Doctor noticed something in their backs and said "I knew it." He saw the chronosteel in the bag the violet org glowed brightly like the sun. "I wonder." The Doctor said. He took the purple orb out of the bag and held it high the orb's glow steadily increasing. The Doctor said "Let's see if there's a gate to open." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Manehatten ??:00 Rarity had moved in a condo with her supplies. She was wearing a black cloak. She said "Well it's not as big as the boutique. But at least I'll get a head start on a new life." She heard a knock on the door and said "Who is it?" and opened the door to find Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. She said "Oh it's you come in. Come in." While hiding her disappointment form the fashion show. Unaware that the nearby radio said something about a large fire. The other ponies were baffled. Fluttershy said "Rarity what are you doing in a place like this?" The condo looked like it'd be more fitting for a slob than Rarity. The paint was chipping, there were cockroaches in some places and in the terms of luxury the place had left a lot to be desired. "Oh well you see this was the only place I can afford after the fashion show fiasco." Rarity said. "Where's Twil--" She then doubled over in pain. She said "What going on!?" She was crashing all over the condominium. She heard a voice say "You must remember." "Remember what?" Rarity said. She then saw images of her back at her boutique. She saw a blue maned pony asking her for gem-encrusted fashions. Then she saw a white blue maned stallion with her in Canterlot. The pain had almost numbed. By then she said "Well girls I'm sorry if I acted strange today. Don't tell me you forgot about the fashion show already?" "You mean the one with Hoity-Toity?" Pinkie said. Rarity nodded. Rainbow Dash said "But didn't he like ou--" Applejack nudged her. Rainbow said "What's going on?" Applejack said "Ah think that time somehow is bein' messed with." Rainbow said "How do you know?" Applejack said "Think Rainbow didn't you notice something's off. two memories of the same event but different?" Rainbow said "Good point. But how is this possible." "Ah don't know but I have a feeling we're not out of the woods yet." Applejack said. "Actually we have when we made it to Fluttershy's house." Pinkie said. Rarity levitated her pack and said "We'll you're welcome to stay with me if you want. I'm sorry that there's not enough space and--" She smelled something. "Do you guys smell smoke?" Everypony looked out the nearest window. They saw a large fire burning over the entire city. The 5 had decided to find a way out and went upstairs. The inferno was spreading and chasing up to the mares. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were looking for clouds outside bu all that's out there were smoke. Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie were using up all the extinguishers they could find to put out the blaze. But it was no use, the fires were too big. Eventually they made it to two flight of stairs the one on the left looked like it was made of light and the one on the right looked like plain old wood. Fluttershy was scared. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were arguing over which flight to take. Pinkie Pie was trying to put out the flames with the last extinguisher. Rarity felt something form the stairway of light. She said "Take the left stairs." Fluttershy said "Are you sure?" "Sweetie I couldn't been more sure of anything in my life. Now go!" Rarity said as she tied to block the flames. Applejack and Rainbow Dash went first followed by Pinkie Pie. Fluttershy was about to ascend the stairs until she saw Rarity collapse form he heat. The flames were ready to engulf her. Fluttershy said "No Rarity no!" And flew to her as fast as she could. She carried her unconscious body up the flight and followed the others until they reached another light. They group of 5 found themselves inside a familiarly scary forest. Fluttershy laid Rarity down as she woke up saying "Thanks sweetie." Applejack said "Do y'all think we'll find Twilight in the forest?" "Hay yeah." Rainbow Dash said. "I'm sure we'll find her." After getting some rest they began their search for the purple unicorn. The sun above them shone brightly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everfree Forest ??:00 Twilight Sparkle had returned back to the fork she was still looking for a reason to live. She saw 5 silhouettes call for her form the shadows. She recognized the shadows as her friends and went to them. She said "What are you doing here?" "We were looking for you." Pinkie said. "You got us worried there for a spell darling." Rarity said. "What are you doing in the Everfree Forest?" Applejack said. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash asked the same question. Twilight said "You don't remember the want-it need-it spell?" Rainbow Dash said "You mean that spell you used on that doll of yours?" Twilight nodded. Futtershy said "Of course we remember that spell. What made you think we wouldn't?" They saw some light coming over the horizon. Twilight then explained that the spell had affected them before she got over to the picnic. And how angry the princess was afterwards. She then explained that she ran away afterwards. But before she could finish she doubled over in searing pain. She heard a familiar voice saying "You must remember." Twilight saw images. Images of her helping out Princess Luna on nightmare night. Images of her brother and foalsitter getting married. Images of all the wonderful times she would had...No she had spent with her friends. The other 5 ponies were also seeing those images. They then fainted afterwards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ??? ??:00 The Bearers of the Elements of Harmony had woken up in a white void of sorts. They has stood up. Twilight said "Where are we?" Rarity said "I don't know, ugh my head." The ponies were feeling some sort of headache. The void around them turned into a dark meadow set in night. They saw the sun rising. Twilight saw a figure in the direction of the day star. She recognized the figure as memories were returning to them. She said "Princess?" The group went over the the figure and saw that indeed it was Princess Celestia. the white alicorn said "Hello again my little ponies. How are your travels?" Twilight remembered about the madman and his box and another universe. Then she realized something. She said "Where are we?" Celestia said "You were trapped inside a parallel universe each. Something had happened to Equestria." Twilight said "We know. The Silence." Rainbow Dash said "So where are we now?" The sun princess said "You are now in a place inside a void between world. I've set up this place so that I can help you return." "I don't get it." Pinkie said. Twilight said "Pinkie we are in a different universe. I think that fortune teller had something to do with it." Applejack said "I knew that Apate character couldn't be trusted." A doorway had appeared to the left of the ponies and Celestia said "You and the other survivors must find a way to restore Equestria and the other worlds." Twilight said "But what about you?" Celestia said "I'm afraid I have to stay here and make sure the souls trapped in the chronosteel are stabilized." Twilight said "I understand. Good luck princess." A tear had escape her eye. She wasn't sure when or if she would see her mentor again. "Good luck my little ponies." Celestia said. The bearers of the Elements entered the door to their left and afterwards the door disappeared into light. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Atlantis 1:45 PM The Doctor saw the chronosteel's light fade into more usual levels. The capsules had opened as the mist inside transformed back into the ponies. The Doctor was glad that worked. He said "You're back." The 6 ponies were disoriented. Twilight said "Doctor, what happened?" Everyone noticed 6 peculiar beetles lying on the ground dead. He examined them with his sonic screwdriver and said "Time Beetles." The ponies were confused. Rarity was a little grossed out. The Doctor said "Time Beetles are a unusual lot. They feed on events in time, usually changing it in the process. The universe can work around these changes if it was small enough but in your case they had to create parallel worlds for you." He straitened his bow tie and said "The last time this had happened also included a false fortuneteller. I'm pretty sure that's not a coincidence." "Doctor did you find any chronosteel while we were..." Twilight said. "Away?" The Doctor said "Yes in fact I did." He held up the sack. He thought abut the guy who gave him the sack. He wondered, how did he know who he was, where did he find the chronosteel. he said "We should go back to the TARDIS." The ponies agreed. They met up with the rest of the group and returned to the TARDIS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TARDIS ??:00 The Doctor went to the dwarf star alloyed room after explaining about Donna Noble and opened the sack the chronosteel contained within flew out to take their place. The sign for Aquarius (♒) glowed violet and the needle in the Antikythera mechanism pointed to Pieces (♓) Twilight and her friends came in. The purple unicorn said "How much do we have left?" The Doctor said "I don't know It appears that I've miscalculated somewhere. I estimate that we have 9 pieces left however." "We see thank you Doctor." Fluttershy said before catching herself. "You're wel- what did you say [we?]" The Doctor said. Although using the we to refer to a group is usual the context made it seem off somehow. 'Twilight what's going on?' Applejack thought. 'I don't know.' Twilight said. The group exited the room. The Doctor checked his tarot cards on the way and saw Judgment as the front card. The forth who know what cards that foreshadow what's to come, with the other3 being the Hanged Man, The 10 of swords, and Death. Rory and Amy were tending to the unconscious Donna when the Doctor and 6 ponies went over and said "Rory something's wrong." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Atlantis 5:00 PM the man who gave the Doctor his sack of chronosteel revealed himself to be Hades. He went to Find Athena and Aphrodite. But when he got there... "No!" Hades said. He saw multiple Silence with Trixie and the machine. Max Zeus was with them. He said "Where is Hermes?" Hades saw several silents vanish with Athena and Aphrodite. He said "What do you want Zeus?" Several Silents had grabbed Hades and Max said "I want you to know that I still need you and the other Olympians together. Although your namesake never ascended to the glorious mountain. He was still important to Zeus and the others Just as you are important to me and my plans. I need some to communicate with the dead." Hades said "You want to bring back Gallifrey? Are you insane?" Max said "No I'm not. I will rue the universe with the help of the Time Lords." Hades said "How can you even bring them back. The Time War was time locked and the destruction of the planet with it!" Max said "But time can be rewritten. And the entire multiverse had been reborn like a phoenix through the fire and flames." The Silents had vanished with Hades and Max Zeus. Trixie screamed as she activated the spell and stopped time. Silence had fell. The Silents returned after the casting to pick up the blue unicorn.
