Babylon 2:00 PM 323 BC

The TARDIS had landed inside a a street corner. The Doctor stepped out and noticed the surroundings. The other companions also steeped out. The Doctor said "Well this is interesting."

Twilight said "Doctor where-- I mean when are we?"

The Doctor said "Babylon circa the rule of Alexander III The Great."

River said "So the chronosteel in inside the past huh?"

The Doctor nodded. He said "Be careful and stick to the shadows." The group the split up to look for the chronosteel. The Doctor went with Rory and Amy, The bearers of the Elements went in their own group, Homonoia followed them soon after and River then followed Homonoia with Dizty Minty and later Cheerilee, Toola Roola and Starsong went with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Flitter, and Cloudchaser, and Lyra and Bonbon went alone.

The Bearers had noticed a huge tower in the background as well as some gardens, high up in the sky. The 6 mares ascended the stairs until they saw a monolithic door. Twilight thought 'Well there's no one there right now.'

Pinkie Pie thought 'Ooh ooh we should definitely go there.'

Rarity thought 'Why darling? This garden looks nice but I doubt that the chronosteel will be there.' She then saw Pinkie's ears' flopping.

Pinkie's eye's began to flutter and her knees twitched afterwards. She thought 'Get away.' The large door began to open. The ponies had backed up far enough to avoid the stone doors' slamming them into the wall.

Applejack thought 'What in tarnation?'

Fluttershy thought 'Maybe we should not go in after all.'

Rainbow Dash thought 'Yeah and miss out on exploring <i>this</i>? It'll be just like in Daring Do! I can't miss something like <i>that</i>!

'Rainbow's right.' Twilight thought. 'This thing opened for a reason. It wouldn't hurt to check.'

The 6 ponies entered the door. Unaware that Homonoia had been staking them the entire time. "Maybe now the time to get these bracelets off them and continue the plan." She smirked. She entered the large building as it began to close. The building began to vanish.

Babylon 3:00 PM

The Doctor, Amy, Rory and Rose began exploring the place in hopes of finding the chronosteel.

Amy said "Doctor?"

"Yes Pond?" The Doctor said.

"How long has it been?" Amy said. "How long has it been since we've started this [trip]?"

"I dunno, a few months perhaps?" The Doctor said.

Amy said "Yeah that's what I've thought." Amy was struggling with a tough decision. She knew that her husband had wanted children ever since he was a child. But the one they had , they didn't get to raise and worse since her kidnapping at Demon's Run she can give birth no more. She didn't know what to do, what to say. She thought the trip would help take her mind off it.

The group went ahead to look for the chronosteel.

Elsewhere several solders said "Sire someone wants to talk with you."

A man with a crown and sword said "What is it? Can't you see I'm still planning Hephaestion's funeral? Bring them in."

A woman with an eye patch accompanied with several aliens came in and the woman said "King Alexander the Great I assume?"

Babylon 3:30 PM

River Song, Ditzy, Minty and Cheerilee went up the stairs of a garden. River said "So why are you here?"

Cheerilee said "I don't know. But i don't trust that Homonoia one minuet."

"Welcome to our world." Minty said.

The group went to the peak of the stairs but saw nothing there. The group was baffled. They were sure that Homonoia was there, but she was nowhere to be seen.

River said "Lovely." The group was about to check the top of the garden but Ditzy bumped into an invisible wall of sorts.

The gray pegasus said "Huh?" She began tapping the wall again.

The other 3 noticed. River said "Stand back." And began to shoot the wall of invisibility with her blaster. She said "We need to find the Doctor. You three stay here and keep an eye out for anything suspicious." and then left to find the Doctor's group.
