//------------------------------// // Sirius ♝ Falling Stars // Story: 6.7.11 // by Morningstar1337 //------------------------------// Olympia ??:00 6/07/6711 The Doctor's group was looking around the unusual star ship. They could hear the Sontarens weapons clash with those of the Olympia. Twilight noticed something. Applejack thought 'You okay Twi?' Twilight thought 'I'm fine.' She checked her telepathic inhibitor. The group went ahead. They saw two passages: One straight ahead and one going to the right. The Doctor and River went first inside the room. But the door closed behind them preventing the ponies from entering. The Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to open the door... "This door is wood." The Doctor said. River tried blasting the door, but the door wouldn't budge. The ponies on the other side noticed something and took the right path. The Doctor and River saw some computers inside the room and they saw something else in there as well... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Olympia ??:00 Martha's group had entered a computer room. Mickey and Gwen noticed a file with the name of "Still and Fixed points logs." Gwen decided to read the document. Rex said "What are you doing!?" Gwen said "Looking at some files. I though tot was your job to gather information Rex." She saw that the file was encrypted. Mickey helped her decode the file. The document first told of fixed points: Moments in time that cannot be tampered with without destroying the universe. Jack wondered about Rex. Ever since the two of them stopped the Three Families plot, Rex had been granted immortallity. He wonders if that made him as much of a fixed point as Jack. The Document Then went to a picture of Lake Silencio. Rex said "What is that place doing here?" Martha said "You know of this place?" Rex said "There was an anomaly here. The CIA was sent to investigate it along with the FBI. But we couldn't find anything unusual with it." Jack said "Well here's something unusual." The document scrolled to reveal the Doctor close to the lake. He was with Amy, Rory, and River Song. There was a spacesuit with the Doctor. The paragraph below told of River's life as an assassin trained by the Silence to kill the Doctor. But it also chronicled her failure to do so. Her love for the Doctor and how she was forced to continue to kill him...and succeeded. The group was shocked. Jack said "Well this is interesting." His understatement didn't amuse anyone. Martha said "Know I know he survived. Look at the date." Rex said "You said the dude's a time traveler. Wouldn't that imply that he'd been seen anywhen after his death?" Jack said "You have a point but the Doctor had a reason to live and the will to do so." Suddenly they heard a noise. Everyone readied their weapons. They saw some aliens enter the room. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Olympia ??:00 The bearers of the elements had left the Doctor and River after they were trapped inside a computer room. Something had came over them. They were about to take off their inhibitors until... They had woken up from their trance. Rainbow Dash thought 'What happened?' Twilight thought 'Where are we?' The group checked their surroundings. They were inside a intersection of 6 halls. Pinkie thought 'Maybe we went inside a weird cookie cutter?' Applejack thought 'Pinkie Ah'm certain that's not the case here.' Rarity had looked to one of the halls and she saw a dark blue silhouette. She thought 'Girls, I think I've saw that their.' and went down that hallway. Fluttershy thought 'Rarity wait.' as the rest of the bearers followed her. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Olympia ??:00 Amy's group had went into a room. There they looked around for Homonoia and answers. Rory looked around and saw the lights flicker. He thought to himself 'Well that can't be good.' The room they went into looked alike a nature preserve, except there no animals inside. Just plants. Cheerilee, Starsong and Toola Roola find the plant life creepy, as if they somehow wandered back into the Everfree forest. The Cutie Mark Crusaders however were less afraid then the adults. Though they did avoid the plants just as much as they did. Scootaloo noticed something peculiar lurking in the woods. She saw the vines move and told her two friends "Now this is creepy." The vines were retracting into the ground. Cherrilee and Amy noted that the vines don't grow from the ground. The group decided to flee. But the vines emerged from the ground and wrapped around Tools Roola's and Starsong's hind legs. The ponies tried to bite off the vines but their teeth could not cut the vines. Rory took his sword and cut the bindings and the group began to flee from the room. They were bring chased by the alien vines as they popped out like tentacles and tried to trap the group here. Amy and Rory were able to cut some of the vines as they went close. Eventually the group went out of the room. They saw Martha's group. Starsong said "Did you guys find out anything?" Gwen said "Not much. Just some stuff on fixed points. And your picnic in Utah." Rory and Amy were shocked. Amy said "Anything else?" Mickey said "I don't know we saw something and after that it was a blur." Jack said "What did you say?" Mickey said "That it was a blur. That I couldn't remember it. I know you come from the 51st century but you don't know what that means?" Jack said "I know what that means." He said "It means we should get going now." The group noticed some shadows. And left to avoid them ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Olympia ??:00 Rose's group had entered a small room. There they saw another monitor. Rose Tyler had checked the contents of the file. They contained blueprints. Lyra said "What the hay? Who was that?" Bonbon said "She looks like Homonoia, except she was not a princess." Flitter and Cloudchaser were a little bit confused by the image Ditzy and Minty wasn't surprised though. Rose checked the contents again. She noticed several cards on the upper right of the blueprint, labeled "Data-cards." She said "Let's see those cards contain." She clicked the image. "Oh no!" The group was shocked. The cards were described as having came from the Hephaestus division and used the AETOS nanites to copy the information instantly onto blank cards. The next part told that they are used as a database for the minds, thoughts and memories for the victims. Rose copied the entire blueprints and went to find the Doctor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Olympia ??:00 The Doctor and River had found themselves covered with tally marks. River had her blaster out and the Doctor was nearby some terminal. The Doctor looked at the marks and said "Looks like the Silence were here." The Doctor noticed that there was a terminal. He went to examine it. There he said "Well looks like Christmas came early. Glad to have a list." There was a document. The file showed the chronosteel and had "Another Harmony" written on it. The Doctor examined the Document read as if Olympus Limited or the Silence had knowledge of Equestria. It said something about a spell that stopped time. The Doctor wondered why they needed suck a spell. He remembered his conversation with Dorrium inside the Headless Monks' lair. He remembered him speaking about still points and how easy it would be making fixed point on them. That suspicion was clear when he got to a line on the document that read "108 still points" River said "Doctor what is this?" The Doctor said "A clue River." He continued the Document where he got to a line that read "88 Screaming stars." The Doctor thought about that. He remembered there being 88 constellations documaneted from Earth. And 88 pieces of chronosteel. The "screaming stars" line must refer to the chronosteel. But what about the other two lines. Why did they need 108 still points? What was "Another Harmony?" He pondered these questions. He suddenly remembered The first dream in witch he saw the TARDIS' human avatar. "Another Harmony" was said in that dream after... The Docotr realized that the Eye of Harmony was returning. Gallifrey was returning. He also realized that the Medusa Cascade one second out of sync, would bring forth a new time war. One that would devastate the universe and one that under these circumstances would be a fix point in time. He knew that if Galiffrey and The Tine Lord are allowed to return now then the universe would be destroyed no matter what. The Doors had suddenly opened. Rose's group was on the other side this time. The Doctor explained what he found out to Rose and River. Rose in turn showed the blueprints to them. Afterward they went to find the others and then stop Gallifrey's return. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Olympia ??:00 The wielders of the Elements of Harmony followed Homonoia to a room. There the bearers saw the small sphere. The robotic blue ponies said "Look at them. Still screaming. Still looking for a way out of the metal prisons their bodies had become." Rainbow Dash said "Let the chronosteel go!" Homonoia said "Okay." She let the chronosteel and dwarf-star alloy go and it floated to the center of the room. She also dropped a bejeweled box and slid it to the ponies. Twilight recognized the box and opened it to find the Elements of Harmony. The lavender unicorn said "Why did you take them? What did you want with the chronosteel or the Elements?" The metallic blue pony said "I want you to share in their pain, their suffering. Go ahead try to used the Elements on them." The 6 ponies looked at the now shining sphere. Homonoia said "You can't can you. You wouldn't bring yourselves to risk losing your family and friends would you?" Applejack said "What do you want?" Homonoia said "Ah the farmer who job is to harvest apples. And to think that if you were anything other than Honesty incarnate your farm would fall to corruption. Your skill are sub-par at meat and the only reason you are the best athlete in Ponyville is because your pegasus friend there has a terrible work ethic and because Equestria's best athletes don't live in Ponyville. Look at your poor performance at the rodeo and tell e you anything but you're a honest-to-goodness joke of an athelete who would never find a better job than farming." Applejack felt broken. Rarity said "Leave her alone you ruffian!" Homonoia said "Rarity The Generous fashion-minded unicorn who dreams of high society. You'd give the shirt off your back even if that shirt would have gave you the opportunity to be renowned world wide. You don't even have a good sense of fashion. An you take more then you give, especially when it comes to gemstones." Rarity had been speechless. Fluttershy said "Stop it!" Homonoia said "But you knew it too, right Fluttershy? Your Kindness is immersuareablr but so is your rage. You keep it hidden because you live all alone with nothing but mongrels and beasts that nopony would ever adopt except out of pity for you. You could barely keep your pet rabbit under control." Fluttershy was on the verge of tears. Rainbow Dash said "If you say another word I'll--" "You'll what Rainbow Dash?" Homonoia said "Haughty, Selfish and at the same time Loyal. A contradiction if there ever was one if you ask me. You would had ditched them just to go join those talentless Wonderbolts. And then you would get kicked off the team for the same reason you got the boot from flight camp. You would never have what it takes." Rainbow was also on the verge of tears. Pinkie said "Now you just hold it you big fat meanie." Homonoia said "Ah Pinkie Pie. Chosen to wield Laughter but ironically in a unfunny state of mind. You were alone and friendless when you came to Ponyville. So you throw parties for everyone to gain their affection. You're the type of pony who would say 'Please come to my parties. I live alone with nothing but a pet alligator and have no friends. Please Please Please.' Bah, just as much a frivolous waste of time as dressmaking. And your baked goods would leave people wondering if you used any meat to make them." Pinkie was the one who began crying. Twilight had had enough. She said "Why are you doing all this?" Homonoia said "Oh. Twilight Sparkle. I was just being Honest with all of you. I felt Generous enough to let you know how Loyal I am to you and let you Laugh at you own mistakes and flaws afterwards. I know I would. Aren't I just Kind." Twilight said "You Lying bitch!" Homonoia said "Not good enough for your Magic?" Fine. But first ask yourself this. Are you sure that your beloved mentor is as perfect as you imagine? She let you and your friends ruin a prestigious event just for shits and giggles. And yet you still try to please her like a lovestruck puppy. No wonder you and Pinkie would be so well together. You two are alike: alone, insane, but you have the most powerful Magic in all Equestria. And yet you stick round with these pathetic losers?" Twilight was mad. She charged towards the robot and shouted "MY FRIENDS ARE NOT LOSERS!" Homonoia said "Prove it then. Use the Elements. Finish me." Twilight didn't notice that Homonoia took off the inhibitors. Twilight said "Fine we will!" She and her friends began to put on the Elements and use them on Homonoia. A giant rainbow shot out and began to hit the robot. Who said "SYNCHRONIZATION BEGUN. 11%." The machine continued to stand there in the rainbow's path. "13%, 26%, 39%." The ponies were shocked. The machine should had shut down by the elements. Homonoia levitated the chronosteel as the ponies focused their thoughts on her. "52%, 67%, 90%. 100%." the Bearers had fainted. Homonoia had merged their minds with her own. She said "On your feet." The 6 ponies were now under her control.
