Fluttershy’s mind reeled trying to comprehend what he Dalek had said.
“E-exterminate? Wh-what does that mean exactly.” Asked Fluttershy sounding worried. She had heard that phrase before, but could not seem to remember exactly where.
There was the sound of something short-circuiting coming from the Dalek. It looked down at its weapon.
“PRIMARY WEAPON FAILURE SWICHING TO MELEE WEAPON!” Said the Dalek.
It pointed its plunger arm towards Fluttershy and slowing began chanting,
“EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE!” It’s voice elevating with every word.
Fluttershy didn’t know what the Dalek was trying to do, but she didn’t like it. She tried to make a run for it. But he wing got caught on something, causing her to fall over. She looked up to see the Dalek was nearly right next to her. It’s plunger extended out towards Fluttershy.
“PREPARING TO REMOVE BRAIN TISSUE!” Shouted the Dalek. The plunger rested against Fluttershy’s head for a second. The Dalek paused. Fluttershy was shaking.
“EXTERMINATE!” Shouted the Dalek once more.
Suddenly there was a blue beam of light that shot across the room hitting the Dalek in the back.
“AGAHHAH!” Shouted the Dalek before he sizzled out and lost conscienceless. His eye stalk pointed up in the air.
Fluttershy blinked in confusion. Did something just kill the Dalek?
“M-mr. Dalek are you…”
“He is fine.” Said a robotic voice. “I assure you.”
Fluttershy looked into the darkness of the ship’s bridge. She could see the outline of something that looked like a trash can.
Another Dalek
Fluttershy and the new Dalek stared at each other. The flames that licked at the Dalek’s sides illuminating the two of them. The flames did not harm him.
Finally after what seemed like minutes Fluttershy said something.
“W-what did you do him?”
“I set my death beam to stun. Although I have never used that setting. It should in theory work.” Said the mysterious Dalek its voice sounded a lot like the first one but it was more quite.
“But why, why did you save me?” Said Fluttershy. The Dalek was quite for a second. And then he said:
“Because I was going to kill you. And I no longer want to. Because you will be my friend and…” The Dalek was silent.
Fluttershy looked at the Dalek that had just been stunned and then back to the new Dalek. She noticed that some of the dents that the new Dalek were exactly the same as the other Dalek.
“Are you…the same Dalek?” Asked Fluttershy.
“It is not important. Listen I came here to warn you. There is another Dalek. He is golden in color and he calls himself Caan. No matter what he says to do not listen to him.
“Why not?”
“He is trying to throw off the timeline and he’s not alone. There are very few people you can trust.
“Can I trust my friends?” Asked Fluttershy.
“NO especially not the Pink one. You can trust anyone who has a Pyramid for a head, Xuchilbara or anyone calls themselves the Doctor as unless they offer you a jelly baby.” Said the Dalek. “Do not trust the faceless one either.”
“Above all. Do not trust me. Leave me here and let the colts in black get me. I deserve it after what I’ve done to you…”
“Why, I don’t understand, why can’t I trust my friends, what’s going on?” pleaded Fluttershy.
“Fluttershy!” Yelled somepony with a southern accent. Applejack was coming down the hallway.
“I have to go. Do not tell your friends you saw me.” Said the Dalek.
“Wait what’s your name?” Shouted Fluttershy.
The Dalek paused
“My name is…Zek…EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT!” There was a bright flash of light and Zek the Dalek was gone.
“Fluttershy! Yelled Applejack reaching her at last. “Thank goodness you’re alright. What was that flash of light?”
“It was the Dalek.” Said Fluttershy.
“I beg your pardon?”
Fluttershy explained how she had split up from Pinkie and Rainbow Dash, found the Dalek buried underneath a pile of rubble. And how the Dalek started yelling at her. She left out the part about being saved by Zek.
“And then he suddenly stopped moving.” Said Fluttershy. She couldn’t think of any other way to explain it to Applejack.
“Wow that there is quite a story. You could have been hurt. I’m gonna kill Rainbow for letting you go alone. Yeah, me and Twilight just got here a few minutes ago. But we weren’t the only ones. A bunch of military thugs in black suits also showed up. I think they’re here for the space ship. We think that they might be the colts in black.”
“The Colts in Black?” Repeated Fluttershy.
“Yeah they keep alien stuff all hush hush.” Said Applejack. “I don’t know what they’ll do to us if they find us in here, but I do know it won’t be good. We got to get out of here.”
“Applejack!” Called Twilight. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie following close behind her.
“Ah here come the others now.” Said Appleajck
“We got to get out of here now!” Shouted Twilight. “The CIB are right behind us! “Everypony grab hoofs I’ll teleport us out!” Eveypony in the group grabbed onto Twilight ready to teleport away
Everypony expept for Fluttershy.
“Fluttershy what are you waiting for! Grab on!” shouted Rainbow Dash.
“What about the Dalek?” Said Fluttershy. “I can’t just leave him!”
“Forget about him!”
Fluttershy thought about it for a second and then put her hoof down.
“No, I’m not going to leave him!”
“Fluttershy I’ve never tried to teleport more then five ponies before. I could mess up and get the body parts mixed up.”
“Wait, that can happen?” Said Rainbow Dash nervously.
“No, I can’t just leave him. Even if he’s scary some of the time. He’s a living creature and I can’t leave him.”
“Uhhh, fine put him on your back and I’ll see what I can do.” Groaned Twilight. Fluttershy lifted the Dalek onto her back. She struggled with the weight, after all the Dalek was much bigger then her. She ended up just pushing the Dalek to the group.
“Hey you! Stop where you are!” yelled a pony wearing a black suit.
“Twilight now!”
Twilight focused her magic onto one point in time and space and then….
Her magic failed.
“You’re under arrest.” Said the buff pony and black.
Twilight tried again. But it was no good. She needed a more power.
Then she felt it. The power of something old. Something new. Something stolen something blue. Filling up her body.
In a flash of purple light twilight and the rest of the mane six disappeared.
***
The six ponies reappeared at Twilights library. It was about two seconds before they teleported but they didn’t notice.
“Phew, I thought they had us for sure.” Said Applejack.
“Everypony still have all their body parts in the right place?” Asked Twilight.
Everypony looked over each other for a second making sure all their body parts were in the right spot.
“OH NO!” Yelled Pinkie.
Eveypony, expecting the worst looked over at Pinkie. Surprisingly she looked perfectly fine.
“What’s the matter Pinkie?”
“I’M MISSING ONE OF MY HEARTS!” Yelled Pinkie, “The one on the right side is completely gone!”
“Pinkie this is no time to play games.” Said Twilight, “Everypony knows ponies have one heart on their left side.”
“We do?” Everypony nodded at her. “I didn’t know that.” Said Pinkie Pie calming down. “Never mind I’m fine.” Twilight rolled her eyes.
“Eveypony else ok?”
“Yeah”
“Yep”
“A okey”
“Alright good. Now down to business. Could sompony please explain what this...thing is?” Twilight demanded.
Eyes fell onto Fluttershy who explained the whole encounter again baring the fact that a Dalek had saved her.
“And now we have a, possibly evil alien creature that may or may not have tried to kill you, that the government wants and will probably stop at nothing to get in my library?” Said Twilight.
“Yes, I guess.” Said Fluttershy.
“We must turn it in immediately.” Said Twilight, “Spike take a letter.”
“No wait! He hasn’t done anything wrong.” Said Fluttershy.
“No, but he tried too. And he’ll try again.”
“You don’t know that for sure. For all you know he could have just been confused or scared or both.” Said Fluttershy
Twilight went on a rant
“Ok, let’s say we don’t turn him in. How do we know he won’t get scared or confused again? Sompony could get hurt if no one was watching him. What if The Colts in black come by and find him what then? The princess would be so mad at me!”
Fluttershy thought about it.
He-he can stay at my house we can tie him up so he can’t hurt anyone. Said Fluttershy. Nopony would think to look for him there and he would be out of the way of everypony in Ponyville. I can teach him how to behave around other ponies.
Twilight thought it over carefully.
Well I suppose it can’t hurt, but if anything happens I’m holding you responsible Fluttershy.
“Ok.” she agreed
“now, lets get this Dalek tied up ok? AJ?”
“I’ll get my rope…”
