Pinkie handed the Doctor the snowglobe with a shaky hoof. He stared at it for a while, looking as if he were solving a puzzle. He outstretched a hoof to Pinkie.
"Stand back." said the Doctor.
"Why?" asked Pinkie. The Doctor turned to look at her.
"Because there's going to be a lot of shrapnel." said the Doctor. Then he flung the snowglobe to the ground.

Ditzy had stopped flapping and relied on gliding to keep her flying. She heard a noise like ice cracking and she looked up to see that the heavens were shattering like glass. The sky was falling. There was a blinding light and Ditzy blacked out. When she regained consciousness she didn't open her eyes. She could smell cakes and pies so she knew she was in Sugarcube Corner. She could feel a hoof trying to shake her awake. Her head was pounding and she was pretty sure she had a wingboner. But at least she knew where she was. She let herself slip back into unconsciousness. She had another nightmare.

Ditzy saw a unicorn mare trotting down a long hallway. Her coat was a soft silver and her mane was a darker silver with a streak of gold. Her eyes were an electric blue and they were absolutely striking. She looked strong and powerful. She walked with pride. She flinched only for a second when a shadow jumped out at her. Though she had to look up to meet the gaze of the unicorn stallion, she still wore a dignified look on her face.
"Oh Doctor, please do not try to frighten me. It's not very polite, now is it?" said the unicorn with a tone of voice like steel. Doctor Ocarina smirked.
"What's the matter Silver Soul? Can't sleep?" asked Ocarina softly. Silver Soul peered at him suspiciously, but his soul seemed neutral.
"No." said Silver flatly. Ocarina chuckled.
"Why don't you come help me in my office?" asked Ocarina. Silver Soul shrugged.
"Sure, why not?" said Silver Soul. She tried to sound bored but Ocarina could tell she was bursting with excitement. This poor mare thinks she will do good for Equestria. No, scratch that. She thought she would LIVE to see herself do good for Equestria. Ocarina led her to his office and closed the door behind her. Silver Soul didn't even notice that Ocarina locked it.
"THIS is your office?" asked Silver. It looked more like a twisted dentist office. There were blood stains on the white tile floor. Silver Soul started to sweat. Behind his glasses, Ocarina's eyes widened in anticipation. His soul could no longer remain placid. Malice churned beneath a poker face Ocarina always wore. Silver Soul could see right through it all. She saw the malice, the hunger, and her instincts screamed at her to get away. She jiggled the door to find it locked. Ocarina laughed maniacally and Silver Soul's strength and pride disintegrated as her eyes widened in fear. Ocarina smiled wide and edged closer to Silver.
"So it IS true! You CAN read souls. Nopony realizes my true intentions until it's too late! Of course, it's too late for you as well." Ocarina laughed and punched the lights out of Silver Soul. When she woke up, she found herself strapped to a table. Her limbs were not strapped down. She felt dizzy, and put a hoof to her forehead. She foze. She couldn't feel a horn. Silver examined her hoof and found it damp and bloody. Silver trembled as she heard Ocarina's voice.
"You're magic is very powerful. You're the only pony I know who can read souls, and so I think to myself...'what if everypony had this lovely power?' Unfortunately, to accomplish this, I needed to remove your horn." said Ocarina. Silver Soul trembled and gulped. She felt like her belly was filled with a pile of jagged stones.
"Of course, your horn is not enough. I will also need your brain." said Ocarina calmly. Silver Soul screamed and thrashed around.
"DOCTOR, NO! GET AWAY! GET AWAY! AHHHHHH!" screamed Silver. A probe inching closer to her head was the last thing Silver Soul ever saw.
