The Iron Age FINAL

"Cyberking?"

"Well, what other name could you use?"

"Where can we find the Cyberking?"

"The center of this whole facility."

"So, how do we get there?"

"Lets try going this way."

System left the room, and ran straight down the hall, with Daring trailing right behind him.

They ran through halls and halls, turning every now and then. They almost turned another corner before the System saw something that made them stop. Three rows of Cybercolts were advancing down the hall.

"What's going on?"

"Must be the retrieval party, going to collect the ones that ran off."

"So what do we do?"

"Just let them pass."

*rhythmic metal pounding*

They sat there for about a minute or so, as the Cybercolts simply past by them. Soon, the path was clear.

"Come on, this way."

He began to go the opposite way they were headed, and Daring quickly followed. The hall was larger and longer than all the others, and they soon reached an unguarded door with a keypad.

System went up to it, pulled out his sonic screwdriver, and disarmed the lock, opening the doors. Inside was a small control room with a chair facing away from, and at a large screen.

The chair turned to face them. In it was the Cyberking.

"You're still humanoid."

"My body remained pure as the others were deformed, but nonetheless functioning."

"Why are you here?"

"We came here in search of a new home, to be converted into a Cyberworld."

"Well, I'm here to make sure you don't." He pulled out his sword.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"You Cybermen have no feelings for others. You take away what makes them alive, turning them into nothing but nerves in metal shells. You can't be trusted. Ever."

He charged at the Cyberking, puncturing his head, killing him.

The power seemed to go out for a moment, then a red light began to flash.

/" Automatic Self-Destruct in 5 minutes "\

"Oh. Didn't see that coming- RUN!"

They sprinted back in the direction they came from, with the clock ticking away.

"What about the Cybercolts?"

"The power went out! They all shut down! But that's besides the point- just keep running!"

They ran back through the halls, down from the machine, and through the way they entered.

/" Automatic Self-Destruct in one minute "\

They quickly ran outside, where the escaped ponies were still resting.

"What about the hospital?"

"The self-destruct shouldn't go beyond the base. I think it's safe-"

The ground shook violently, but only for about a minute.

"And that takes care of the that."

"So, are we finished here?"

"I do believe so."

One of the nurses came up to them. "Whoever you are, thank you for saving us."

"Saving ponies is what I do on a regular basis."

"System, I think we should get going."

"Oh, right. This way!"

They ran to Red TARDIS, as it waited for them.

"Next stop, Canterlot!"
