Temple of the Daleks Pt.2

System and Daring stepped out of Red TARDIS.

"So which way did you come from?"

"I think it was somewhere over here."

"Then lead the way."

System followed Daring Do through the foliage until they entered a small pathway in the forest of leaves.

"Then it was... this way."

System stayed close behind her as they walked through the narrow path.

"Where are we, exactly?"

"A jungle."

"No, I mean country. Planet."

"Equestria, Equus."

"Then I'm definitely not in my own universe."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"If I'm correct, while I was time traveling, I must have fell through a crack in the universe, through the Void, and into your universe, crash-landing here. Your universe is quite different from mine, which is probably the reason of why I regenerated into a 'Diamond Dog'."

"System, I have another question."

"What is it?"

"What's a Dalek?"

"A nemesis of us Time Lords. They will kill anything non-Dalek until the universe is theirs."

"That must have been what I saw!"

They stepped into an opening. A larger path went in two directions, right and left.

"Their commander went that way."

She pointed to the right. System went ahead, scouting the area for anything.

A voice came from behind.

"Halt!"

They turned around.

"Its been a while, hasn't it?"

A few strange noises came from inside it.

"Time Lord. Armed."

System grabbed the handle of his cane with his other paw, and pulled out a long, thin blade, much like a fencing sword.

"Your scanner still works."

"Drop your weapon!"

System dropped the blade on the ground.

"I wasn't looking for a fight."

"You will come with me."

"Party for two?"

"The equine will not come."

"Two or nothing."

"You must come!"

"I'd rather not."

He pulled out a strange metal stick with a green bulb on the end, and pointed it at the Dalek as it made a strange buzzing sound.

Suddenly, the light in the eyestalk went out.

"Aaaaaaah!"

System grabbed the blade and put it back in the cane.

"Lets go!"

"Stop at once!"

The Dalek began shooting wildly at them as they went back to the left of the pathway.

The Commander began to back slowly into a large pond as it contacted the others.

"Alert! Alert! The Time Lord has escaped! He must be captured alive-!"

The Commander fell backwards into the pond, causing a large explosion in the water.

-(- System and Daring Do -)-

"Is this the way the other Daleks went?"

"Yeah, I think so!"

"Then keep going!"

"You've done this before, haven't you?"

"Much more times than you'd ever believe!"

"Whoa! Whoa!"

They both skidded to a stop. The path made a steep drop into a huge clearing, with a small, darkly-colored pyramid.

"That wasn't there before."

"Wasn't?"

"I know this jungle inside-out, and I've never seen that before at all."

"That means that there's more behind what's going on. They needed me, and only me."

"I think it's time we go check it out, then?"

System simply began to make his way down the steep slope.
