The Time Pony

Destructo

Clockwork sat on one of the cell cots. "Uggh... I'm so bored! I have to do something!" he moaned.

Fob Watch gave him with an annoyed look. "Stop whining. It's only been five minutes. I won't sit here and allow you to moan all day!" he said, annoyed. Suddenly, something hit the cell bars. The four ponies looked up to see three humans.

One of them wore a black bodysuit and a police visor. He had a scar under his eye. Another wore the same outfit, but had a goatee. The last of the three wore a tuxedo and tie. He had a long scar across his face. Other than the scar, he was what humans would consider 'handsome'. "Hello, Doctor, or should I say Doctors? I am Destructo.

"I have brought you here to kill one of your companions, but I didn't know what time he was in," Destructo said with an evil grin.

Rusty scratched his head. "Why lock us in here then, instead of our companions? Also, may I ask why you want to kill the companion and who the companion is?" he said curiously.

"Very well. I want to kill Darkfire because he gave me this scar. As for why I locked you in here, I needed you out of the way where you couldn't try to save him!" Destructo said, ending with a maniacal laugh.

Time Turner groaned. "Really? You're acting like a villain from a superhero story!"

"What?" Destructo asked.

"You're the classic villain! The one who monologues his plans and laughs at the end of a rant! It's so stereotypical that it's annoying!" Clockwork said, getting what Turner was trying to do.

"No, I am not!" Destructo said, starting to get annoyed.

"Yes, you are! The only way you could be more stereotypical is if you don't let us out of this cell!" Time Turner said in reply.

'No, I am- wait. I see what you are trying to do. I will kill you if you continue this," Destructo said angrily.

"If you do that, then that would kill us!" Fob Watch said.

"Then stop," Destructo replied. Destructo and his henchmen walked away from the cell, leaving the Doctors to their thoughts.

"Well, that didn't work," Clockwork remarked.

"You think?" Fob Watch said.


As our group walked down the path, I fell in step next to Roseluck. "Hello, Roseluck!" I said, startling her.

"Oh, hey, Darkfire. What do you need?" she asked.

"Well, once, I accidentally found the Doctor's memory room, which had all his outfits and pictures of his old companions. When he found out, he told me about them, but... you. He said you were different. I wanted to meet the mare that could impress even him!" I said with a grin.

"Really?" she asked, blushing. Before I could reply, we heard a scream coming from over a hill, where Derpy and Daring had gone to scout.

I turned to the other companions. "Come on!" I yelled as I galloped over the hill towards the sound.
