The Lost Pegasus

Chapter 22 - That was short

For the past hour Lou and Celeste had literally been floating through a vast void. It was dark, ominous, but there seemed to be a light of sorts that illuminated the area around them. Where it came from was beyond them, and they had given up trying to think on it. It seemed like hours floating through this void, but Celeste's own knowledge of Doctor Who was the rooms could speed up or slow down time, and with Discord here, who knows. Time could have sped up for all they knew; they just hoped they didn't. This whole time they had been searching for a door, just there wasn't a door to be found. Even the one they entered had disappeared the moment it shut like some sort of cheap cliche horror movie door. They had tried to blast their way out using their powers, even teleport. Nothing. The energy blasts continued on forever almost, and they just teleported to what appeared to be the same place regardless of what they tried. Eventually, they figured that the Doctor or somebody would come along and get them out. Well, Celeste figured that and Lou was slowly losing her patience.

“So sister, do you know exactly where we are?” Lou asked.

“How should I know?”

“You were a bigger Doctor Who fan than me!”

“Yeah but they never showed this in the show. Not in the movies, books, even the video games!”

“They have video games?” Lou asked intrigued.

Celeste looked at her sister amazed she would ask that question. She shook her head while lou went a little red from embarrassment.

“Okay, your best guess.”

Celeste gave it her best. A large void where nothing existed and yet still was inside the TARDIS. One way in, no way out. It was a room of sorts, but what kind.

“I think this is the spare area when the Doctor deletes a room or something.” she said, her best answer to it

“What?” Lou replied not exactly getting what she was going at

“Well, when the Doctor deletes a room, normally for more power or something, when he's done, the energy isn't needed anymore and I guess this is where the stuff goes,” Celeste said, giving it her best shot.

“Stuff goes?” returned Lou.

"Yes."

"So, this is technically a giant Trash Can inside the TARDIS?"

Celeste answered it off with a shrug. Looking as her sister floated on, Lou gripped her blade and held in the air. It started to spark and suddenly, energy erupted from all around it. Celeste turned around in fear of what she was doing and tried to stop her. Lou would have none of it.

“Are you mad?!” Celeste pleaded.

“If this is where all the deleted rooms go! I'm making my own!” she shouted.

Celeste tried to think of a way to stop her but before she could even grasp at an idea, she was engulfed in a brilliant blue light. Opening her eyes, they were in the most basic room. A floor, four walls, ceiling, and a door.

"Knew you had it in you." she congratulated her sister

Lou smiled and went to the door when they heard voices. Thy were female, but muffled. Listening close to the door, it was April and Dash.

You seen my sock?" yelled Dash

"No Ah haven't!" replied April

"Where could it be?"

"Ah told ya swimmin was a bad idea! But you had to test your wings underwater!"

"How was I supposed to know they wouldn't work! Penguins fly underwater!" snapped Dash

"You got the wings of a Pegasus! Not a Penguin! Lucky Ah was there to save you!"

The two didn't know what to make of it, and wondered whether to go outside or not depending on if the two were fully clothed. Last thing they needed was a startled and embarrassed April and a shocked Dash. Celeste herself leaned in closer to try and hear the sound of clothes being put on when suddenly the room around them started to dissolve.

Now or never!" shouted Lou

“Three minutes Officer Parker!” The Doctor called out.

“You're opening a vent, or something?... Why is it taking so long?!” snapped Jack.

"It's a bit more complicated than that!"

"I've seen it happen in that episode! It didn't look complicated!"

It had been close to a hour in the Console room, the Doctor setting it so they would have a longer time to work. As far as Jack was concerned, it was opening a door or something. Of course the Doctor was right and it was something much more complicated. Jack just didn't see it that way.

“If I don't set it right, when I expose Derpy to the Matrix everyone in the room will be affected. Me, Twilight, the Humane 6, Discord even! Not to mention if you see it, the result could be, well, let's go with bad.”

Jack didn't exactly know what to make of that as the Doctor continued around his controls working at his hardest to create the conditions.

“Bad?” Jack said anyway

“A fixed point in time suddenly granted with the powers of the Time Vortex. It's unfathomable to the point such a combination would be “bad”. I don't even want to think on it.”

“Oh that bad,” Jack answered getting where the doctor was going.

There came a loud bang that alerted the two. They looked around wondering where it came from, the initial one so omnipotent they couldn't figure where it came from. Suddenly, there came the echoing of a door opening from afar, followed by another, and then another.

“Doc, I think we're going to have company!” Jack said bracing himself.

“The time field around the console room is failing! It's him!”

Their stomachs dropped as the banging continued. It was getting closer and closer, and despite their prayers, it was headed right towards them. Jack readied his Grenade launcher and looked at how many shots he had left: three. He groaned in anger.

“I'm only good for three rounds here Doc. All I have is my tazer and baton.”

“Don't you have a pistol?”

“One magazine,” Jack answered.

“Hmm, give me your tazer and baton!”

Jack complied, not out of knowing where he was going, he didn't have a clue. He was just opened to all options the Doctor was throwing at him and the doors were getting closer. Whooves caught them both and instantly cracked the tazer open with his Sonic Screwdriver. With it's signature sound, he fused the baton and tazer together and wired a few of it's circuitry to the baton itself. Another blast from his Screwdriver and he tossed back to Jack. Curious, Jack pulled the trigger and suddenly the whole baton lit up like a light-saber.

“Cool,” he said shocked.

“Yes! Now! We have incoming!”

Just as he finished, the doors opened and Jack readied his weapon. Screaming at the top of their lungs, Fiona and Diane ran in followed by Derpy, who was carrying Reine, who had apparently fainted. There was the loud sound of a explosion, and in flew Twilight and Tara, whose horns were smoking from the attacks they had just endured.

“You alright!?” yelled Derpy

“He's right behind us!” yelled Twilight.

"Get back!" shouted Jack

"What the?!" came twilight, now realizing they were in the Console room

Jack was about to say something when he felt his armor being grabbed. He looked down to see a golden armored hand clutching it, before he was pulled into the darkness before him. The rest looked on and couldn't hear a thing until there was a scream that seemed to echo through the TARDIS. Then, silence. Eery, cold, unforgiving silence. They stood or sat there in fear until they heard the light footsteps of their enemy approaching. With a sinister laugh, Discord strolled in, holding up his armored hand and moving his fingers around, blood running from each finger. He looked around the room and took note of everyone there.

“We seem to be missing a few.”

“You don't want to know,” the Doctor commented.

“Hmm, well, they're not needed. All I want is the Time Lord. The rest of you, begone!”

Twilight was about to say something, before she and the rest of the girls were teleported out of room.

“All it takes is the wearing down of their magic and simple spells can override them. Sad, Twilight never figured it out. That's how I defeated them last time.”

“You really are more twisted than our Discord! Why do you want me!”

“Isn't it obvious!? The one real threat to me! I can handle those elements, and it's going to take both those Royal Princess Parodies to defeat me. A second Twilight Sparkle and a wall eyed klutz? Please!”

Whooves gritted his teeth in anger as Discord walked over to him smiling all the way. However, as the human draconequus got closer, the Doctor felt himself taking a step back. He could hear the slight chuckle coming out of Discords mouth.

“A Time Lord with the knowledge of the Universe! Do you really think I hid out in your TARDIS in a attempt to escape you? I hid here to trap you. Worked quite well didn't it?”

“No!” The Doctor said in fear.

The Doctor stepped back again, but suddenly found himself against a wall. He saw Discords hand reach out to touch him, infect him with his Chaos, when they both heard a gun cocking.

“I’m going need my organs back, thank you,” Jack hacked. A gaping hole revealed the hallway behind him, sitting where his heart should have normally lied. He himself was spitting blood on the ground, yet he was still able to point his pistol at Discord with a steady hand. The other two looked amazed and horrified all at the same time.

“How, how are you still alive!?” Discord asked in shock.

"I'm a fixed point in time. I can't be killed!" sneered Jack

Discord growled and a puff of fire escaped his nostrils. taking advantage of this, the Doctor moved out of the way of Discord. The deranged spirit noticed this and moved to intercept, before a bullet impacted on his gauntlet hand. The pain was sharp, but it didn't penetrate and Whooves escaped, leaving Discord to snarl at the Police Officer. Jack looked to the human Draconequus with dark eyes and aimed his pistol. With three consecutive shots, the small lead projectiles sailed through the control room and embedded themselves in Discords stomach. Discord recoiled in pain, slamming into the wall of the room. He looked down at his wounds as they instantly healed up. He gave Jack a sinister smile, for his weapon was useless against the sheer power of disharmony. He took one step toward Jack, showing off his armored hand, while Jack took out the light-saber baton.

The two weapons met, sparks flying from Discord, electricity from Jack. Even weakened, Jack held his own and the two stared at each other, giving enraged expressions. Suddenly, Discords hand nearly felt like it was being cooked and he tore away in a instant. His gauntlet glowed a bright orange while he looked to David, who was smiling a disturbing smile due to the blood in his mouth. Undeterred, Discord reared back and struck again, blocked by Jack's weapon. He tried again and again, but Jack somehow managed to match him blow to blow. Having enough of this, Discord threw all his power into his next strike, both physical and magical, before being struck with a green light and falling to the floor. The Doctor stood over him, smiling proudly at his Screwdriver. He tossed it into the air, and after a flip, caught it expertly. Jack nudged the motionless Discord confused.

“I thought that thing didn't kill,” Jack grunted.

“Of course it doesn't! It can stun though."

“Works for me.” the officer shrugged

“Right, now then, we need to find Derpy again and prepare her, might as well find the rest and detain Discord before he causes any more-What are you doing!?” he shrieked.

Jack had bent over and was rifling through the pockets of the downed spirit, before looking to the Doctor confused.

“Do you not see the hole in my chest here!?

Whooves clicked three buttons on the console and pointed the screen toward him.

“In the hallway!” he snapped.

“Thanks,” coughed Jack.

He walked out, making a beeline for his lost organs, wondering how exactly he was going to fit them back in there. As he took one step out of the control room, he stopped. He had suddenly realized how morbid this whole thing was
