The guards began to sound off their rifles & gave the Daleks a good fight, with all the bullets fired, none of them gave a huge wound on the Daleks. The Daleks sounded their weapons & started to blast the guards into pieces, one by one the guards started to crumble like a thin cookie. More guards entered the hallway only to get destroyed by the Daleks. Cloud Chaser lost his attention after The Master went off air Cloud Chaser slowly walked to the back corner & started to weep & eventually broke out in tears filled with hate & sadness. The Doctor, Discord Hooves & Shining Armor looked over at him feeling extremely emotional over the sad & furious pony, Shining Armor especially because he too went through the harsh actions of The Master. Shining Armor walked up towards him & wrapped his arm around Cloud Chaser's cold body & said with a calming voice.
"Cloud Chaser, I need you to know that everything is fine. I'm in a notorious spot with this harsh leader just like you. My pregnant wife is out in the cold harsh lands hiding from the forces of The Master, My young sister is set to be killed tomorrow & also the princesses, our parents that raised me & my sister, are now in a suite of armor. I'm a loner here & I understand you!"
Cloud Chaser looks back towards Shining Armor with tears filling up upon his eyes, & tried to speak without breaking down again.
"Shining Armor that man is a monster! when I was a young kid me & my brother would always play around all day on the once beautiful land, we would share stories, hike to new locations & enjoy life itself. My mother & dad would have always take us to different events & places during the weeks. I remember hunting with my dad & talking to my mom when I feel sad or stress. Until that day The Master invaded this planet & killed my mom & my dad right in front of my eyes!"
The Doctor looked at Cloud Chaser & felt painful & torn apart inside, over what his brother The Master has done. The Master is indeed a monster with no help or any control over his actions, The Doctor mostly blames the Time lords over the insanity of The Master. Flash backs entered Cloud Chasers head. The flash backs were about him waking up to a loud explosion outside his home, his mom rushed into his room & told him to hide in the attic with his older brother.
"Mommy what's going on? I'm scared!"
"Get to the attic with your brother! mommy & daddy will be there with you soon."
Cloud Chaser ran downstairs to the old dusty attic that was filled to the top with old antiques that was once used around the house. His brother was shaking in the corner with tears running down his eyes as he holds a small pistol that was loaded with a clip, more explosions roared outside thumping the ground with motion. Then suddenly the door of the attic opened & hoof steps crumbled it's way down near them, as the old stairs creaked beneath the hooves. The shadow figure walked towards the two frighten boys getting closer & closer by every step. The Shadow figure quickly placed his hoof over the mouth of the two boys & said.
"Shhh It's me dad! don't move mommy is coming down!"
The two boys nodded their heads & stayed quiet for as long as possible. Suddenly the mom walks down locking the attic door behind her, she moves towards the dad & said.
"Honey we need to get the kids out of here! is there any alternative route we can take?"
"I'm afraid not dear. We better stay hiding until help arrives."
Footsteps were thumping above them causing a sudden interruption. The family waited in the corner keeping quiet at all means, just then the roof exploded causing it to collapse, the attic door was bashed open & Cyber men entered the room marching towards the group. One of the Cyber man walked up towards them. The mom asked.
"What do you want from us?!"
"We don't wish to harm you but if you don't follow organised orders you will be deleted!"
The dad stood up with anger & started to stare the Cyber man down as he asks.
"Orders? What do you mean orders!?"
"We came back to claim Mondas once again. Every pony living the vicinity of Equestia should & will be upgraded to fit our liking. You will become like us!"
The mom slowly reaches his hoof towards the pistol that his son was holding. upon almost grabbing it the Cyber man places his hand roughly onto her head & shocked her to until death, the Cyber man looks back towards the dad & stated the words.
"Delete! Delete! Delete!"
The Dad yells at the kids to run as fast as they can until the Cyber man shocked him to death. Cloud Chaser looked over at Shining Armor & wondered about his personal past with The Master. Shining Armor looked very uncomfortable as if something was on his mind, boating down at him. Shining Armor was filled with anxiety as he wonders about his wife, Princess Cadence the only Alicorn left that had never been captured yet. Daleks roam across the ship holding many of the sailors hostage & forcing commands upon them, the orders were given clear to The Daleks by Davros. The orders were also forced upon the prisoners as they had no choice but to follow it. Davros entered through the destroyed door that leaded him into the ship, Daleks quickly formed with each other awaiting commands from him.
"What is our orders Davros?"
"Find The Doctor, control this ship towards the island & exterminate The Master!"
"We Obey!"
The Doctor examined the helmet & begins to pick up a clear strong signal coming from within the ship, before he could say anything else the ship started to tug strongly & they started moving once again. The Doctor picked up the helmet & started to follow the signal waves.
"Looks like the ship is moving once again. Ha clever Cyber man, although I would rather prefer a more smooth start but at least we are moving. Now Discord Hooves why is there a Torch wood ship sailing the seas of Equestia?"
Said The Doctor as he looks back at her.
"We were given orders to aid the facility & the army assembled there. However I do regret it now!"
"Good! I couldn't stand the fact that my future self would actually form an alliance with evil! now come along we better take a look on what our friends are hitting up this time."
The Doctor walked to the entrance of the room & stopped, water alerted them below & was extremely thick. The Doctor dropped his travelers bag & jumped into the water & started to enjoy himself, The others did the same as him but never really enjoyed the ice cold waters beneath their hooves. They followed the signal of the helmet & started to swim to the location it was scanning, around them was torn down debris from the fight earlier. It made it way more difficult for them to move around, lights started flickering down the path & the halls got more thicker & darker, it was dead silent. To pass the time Cloud Chaser asked more about Shining Armors event with The Master.
"Do you know where Cadence is by any chance Shining Armor?"
"No & I wish I knew! I still have that feeling that she's under dangerous courses & I'm eager to find out."
"We best be hopeful that she's okay. If The Master get's his hooves on her than we are done for."
Shining Armor begins to talk in a tone of menace, as he replies to Cloud Chaser.
"If he touches her or my sister than I'll be sure that he'll pay for good!"
Shining Armor's face begins to light up with red from anger & started to think of many ways how he'll destroy The Master. Doors suddenly opened & right before them was two Daleks pointing their guns & weapons towards them. The Doctor grew shocked over the appearance of the Daleks, as he was expecting Cyber man rather than Daleks. The helmet started to shut down & was in no other use at the moment, the Daleks stated a command to The Doctor for the first time rather than trying to kill him in the past.
"You shall come with us Doctor. Immediately!"
The Doctor turned his head to the side like a puppy. He continued to wonder.
"Daleks!? What are Daleks doing on the ship? let me guess. So you can Exterminate me huh?"
"You shall come with us! You shall come with us! You shall come with us!"
The Doctor placed he hooves along his ears trying to drown out the commands of the Daleks & then he yelled.
"Alright I'll come if you shut up! & I thought the constant exterminate was annoying."
The Doctor & the crew followed the Daleks into the main bridge of the ship, inside the bridge were Ditzy,Colgate & The 4th Doctor. The Doctor & Ditzy ran up to each other & started to hug each other to death Colgate soon jumped into it, Cloud Chaser soon noticed the cutie mark on The 4th Doctor & started to grow confused. Sadly both Shining Armor & Cloud Chaser had no pony to be aroused with, Shining Armor's wife is in danger & Cloud Chaser's parents are dead & his brother lost. Dead ahead of the ship was the island being surrounded with fog & moistened sky's from the heat, from a far vibrated view a shipping deck was lined & a long line of Cyber man waited for the arrival of The Doctor. The facility building was also seen as clear as day, The Doctor soon noticed his 4th incarnation & started to grow excited over the discovery.
"My 4th face! It's such an honor to meet such a ineradicable individual, that I gladly call my self!"
The Doctor joyfully tightened the scarf around his hooves & felt a warm content under the pleasure sensation.
"You even have the scarf still! I should wear one of these again you know to look stylish."
The 4th Doctor began to grin at The Doctor with happiness in his heart, besides Cloud Chasers heart. Cloud Chaser still remembers the past memories of his beautiful family, he still remembers the perfect nights he would spin with his brother being involved with board games which was his brother's favorite time killer. Shining Armor didn't feel sad but felt anxiety shooting through his veins, he was extremely concerned for his wife & his younger sister Twilight & tomorrow is the day that she would be executed. His main goal is to find her & save her from The Master, everything else was secondary to him. Daleks surrounded them with their weapons pointed strictly towards them, The Doctor started to talk in a innocent tone & said.
"Please. There is no point of killing us now."
"The Dalkes demand silence! you shall answer our commands if you refuse, you will be exterminated!"
The group grew quiet in response to the orders received. Meanwhile The 2nd Doctor woke up from his long rough sleep only to find himself floating onto slowly pasting water, he started to search through his clothing making sure everything is in place. Luckily his Sonic Screwdriver is still in place & was ready for use under any sticky situation, ship scraps floated upon the water from the Kraken attack that happened earlier. The two soldiers laid asleep on the scraps, The Doctor swam up to them & woke them up. finally one soldier got back up & was surprised to see The Doctor in full force, the soldier had a short blonde main & a semi green outfit to go along with it. Before he could speak The Doctor hushed him & started to keep an ear open for a strange clanking sound he heard.
"Sgt Benton do you hear that?"
Said The Doctor as he continuously looked around at every narrow corner.
"I don't think so Doctor."
Inside the half flooded room were four large open vents & each one leaded to a different part of the ship, however the noise The Doctor kept hearing was coming from all sides & was surrounding them. The Doctor looked out the left vent & saw a damaged & darkened hallway with flickering lights, after another flick of the light source a pack of huge, slimy, brown mutated hound dogs were seen walking slowly as they growled with warning. lumps of flesh was missing from their bodies & different forms of eyes were placed around different parts of it's body.
"Oh my word! You might want to take a look at this."
Sgt Benton quickly swam towards the vent & looked into the hallway. He soon captured a glimpse of the mutated hounds.
"A new enemy I suppose Doctor?"
"I suppose so. Now Benton we need to diverse a plan to get past those things. Let's see what we can work with shall we?"
The Doctor looked around & saw an open trench with the ocean water filling the gap, pipes & other objects were sticking out of the walls Beneath the trench. The Master walked into his office & sat down onto his chair, he rested his hooves onto the desk & started to countdown every minuet until the ship finally arrives to the island. A long evil grin was posted upon his face & then he started to speak to himself with that dark deep voice of his.
"It seems that Davros couldn't handle an alliance with a powerful Time lord. I knew his mind would soon cross him, within the hour Pandora will be unleashed onto the galaxy & The Doomsday Clock will strike twelve. A new era will be presented & I will be reborn. Ponies & other species have commented a sin & I for one will adjust the need of a pure wide order."
Ditzy's started to grow lopsided & felt narrow headed, The 15th Doctor toke noticed & asked.
"Ditzy what happened?"
"Doctor there is something I need to tell you."
"What is that?"
"When I was rebooting her Tardis I've noticed a golden flashing light in the middle of the engine & I..."
"Oh no! Ditzy please tell me you didn't make any contact with that orb."
Before Ditzy could continue to speak her dizziness grew in the way of her speech & she fell to the ground, than a huge sudden pain took impacted inside her chest & caused her to scream in pain. The Doctor quickly rested her head onto his hoof & started panic, he pulled out his Sonic Screwdriver & started scanning her chest area & made a strange discovery. Cloud Chaser, Shining Armor, Colgate & The 4th Doctor rushed in to aid her, the Daleks pointed their weapons until The Doctor started to yell at them.
"Lower the weapons! cant any of you chunks of metal have any form of mixed emotions built inside of your narrow hallow shell?"
The Dalek's replied to The Doctor with some unexpected news.
"The female's insides are shape shifting! she is growing a second heart!"
Ditzy looked up at The Doctor & grew worried & asked.
"D-Doctor w-whats g-going on?"
"Ditzy I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
"W-what d-do you mean Doctor?"
"Ditzy that orb placed a mutation effect onto your body. Right now your insides are shifting into a new fitting area, your growing two hearts as well. Ditzy as hard as this may sound but it's true, Ditzy you changed from a pony into a Time lord. I'm so sorry!"
Tears filled The Doctor's eyes as he had to uncover the truth to his companion, it was heartbreaking to him as his friend was in pain from the change inside her body. The changing would end within an hour but she would forever be a Time lord. The 2nd Doctor & Benton jumped out of the vents & onto the warmth of the lower surface, the noise attracted the hounds. The mutated creatures started to charge after the two, The Doctor & Benton ran as fast as they can to the opened trench near them. Both jumped into the trench while the hounds followed behind them, The Doctor & Benton grabbed onto different pipes that outline the opened trench soon the hounds fell beneath them into the water below, they started to howl skin crawling tune towards the two. Soon the other soldier picked out of the vent to check up on the event, he soon spotted The Doctor & Benton climbing up under hard conditions. The soldier helped them up & all three started to move carefully throughout the ship, more barks & disfigured howls echoed through the halls & decks Sgt Benton looked over at The Doctor & said.
"Doctor stop! look over yonder."
The Doctor looked beyond the dark path & couldn't see anything at first glimpse, he kept his eyes at the position & spoke quietly back at Benton.
"I don't have a clear sight on anything Benton. Maybe your just a bit capped up from your sleep."
The Doctor smiled & started to move up until he saw yellow glowing eyes towards him as they slowly moved closer to the group, a light flickers & showed a pack of mutated hounds slowly walking towards them. More hounds confronted them from behind, they were completely surrounded. Back inside the bridge the Daleks started hacking into the controls for full piloting of the ship as they got prepared for the full invasion on the island, the monitor hologram soon was displayed with the face of Davros as he started to give commands.
"I want to speak to The Doctor."
The Doctor stood up & replied back to the invitation.
"I'm here Davros."
"Doctor it's such a shame that a powerful Time lord is now here being contaminated by your rival brother The Master. It's such a shame that a Time lord is killing off one of the survivors of the greedy siege of that pathetic excuse of a planet. Looks like the Time War has placed such an effect on you Doctor, lets be acceptable of the facts you are slowly being molded into a darker mass hysteria, of yourself. Why be known as The Doctor when your personalty, is now a form of a cold hearten monster?"
The Doctor stood frozen in one spot looking upon his past lives, Discord Hooves started to grin as red tears flew down her check. She walked up to The Doctor & said.
"You've forgotten Doctor. I'm also you! I'm that one face that you'll never wanted to encounter upon the future. I've destroyed many innocent & many responsible. Doctor the day will soon come when you are me & you start to face the real you! rather you like it or not, it will happen & trust me. I'm worse than The Master & all the destructive creatures combined!"
The Doctor started to tear up & replied back with anger & emotion.
"I won't ever be held on trial & be mistaken for a cannibal. Discord Hooves your not The Doctor! your just a shadow of my past self. The Doctor is a name that I have always lived by & not even one thing can take that knowledge from me. I remember an old face, a face that I have never forgotten & I never wont to meet it again. Now here I am being forced into a face time with myself. I'm always prepared to stop the possible future & that future is you!"
"Well Doctor looks like I'm being delusional once again. The facts have been written down & despite how much you pleaded yourself onto an alternative exit from me just remember. Over 6 billion Time lords were killed that day you came, & your only brother is slowly dying from your successful attempts on destroying him. Why kill your own flesh & blood instead of helping to deal with his insanity? remember your past & think about your future!"
The Doctor turned towards Hooves & with anger built up inside of him he started to yell with hate & fear to his darker self.
"I'm not killing him! I never wanted to wipe him out of existence & I surly won't start today! & don't think for one minute that I'm a thief & a murderer, I did what had to be done, under the name of peace & sanity. As for you Davros! if you want to accuse me of murder than go right ahead but just remember, your the one who sent the Dalek fleet to siege Gallifrey your responsible for the death of many innocent civilians. I can never say the same for myself."
Cloud Chaser walked up to The Doctor with a tone of confusion & asked.
"Doctor whats going on? whats this whole thing about you murdering your own race? I demand to know now!"
"Cloud Chaser please let me explain."
"No! your The Master's brother aren't you? Your own species came down to our planet & killed off half of the civilians here, with the rest being morphed into Cyber man. My family was killed too you know! I loved them Doctor! now I cant see them ever again because of your kind bringing the war down to us. Your no different from your brother! this whole time when I thought I was safe & contented I started to travel with a mass murderer! no more."
Cloud Chaser leaped towards a nearby filing cabinet & pulled out a pistol aiming it towards The Doctor, Shining Armor & Colgate rushed up & & pulled his tail, trying to avoid another death within the ship. Discord Hooves was pleased with the outcome as she stood back & started to watch the conflict being placed upon her eyes. Colgate started to talk to Cloud Chaser while fighting him back.
"Drop the gun! don't you see whats happening to you Cloud Chaser? your turning into a heart filled with hate! please drop the gun & let The Doctor explain okay?"
The hounds drew closer to The Doctor & Benton, The Doctor soon observed the the mutated creatures & started to notice something suspicious about them. A Gallifreyan symbol mark was placed upon the forehead of all of them, The Doctor just stood there waiting for them to attack. The four from both sides leaped towards them & disappeared in mid air. The Doctor started laughing & said.
"Ha! I knew it was a test from the Time lords! I suppose they found me to quite a rebel huh."
Benton looked over at The Doctor with a sign of relief & said.
"Strange. Why would the Time lords test you anyway?"
"Well you see Benton, during the Time war many years ago I somehow commented a crime, but it was under a good cause though! Benton your a soldier & I would seem to think that you can relate to my reasons."
"When your facing a conflict that is effecting your personal life than I can indeed relate to that. Now please tell me more."
"Right well, I had to keep myself protected, so there on in I had to face the outside world & try to resolve my conflicts. So I ran away!"
"You ran away? I think your just being observed over the event."
"Not precisely. You see I had to protect my Granddaughter Susan. Fighting the war would only leave her in more danger than she's actually in. So we had no choice but to hijack the Tardis. Than we ended up in London & we were soon compromised by her school teachers, fast forward two years later we landed on earth but it was being invaded by the Daleks. During that invasion Susan fell in love with another man & I found a better solution for her, but that's a story for another day."
The Doctor & Benton started to begin their search for the others. The Master stayed rested onto his chair as he waits in the cold dark room, the Doomsday Clock was soon ready to strike twelve & The Master was very anxious & excited to see the outcome. The large dark office soon shaded light as the doors open, walking towards The Master was The Cyber leader being accompanied by two Cyber man. The Master knew what their attentions were towards them & he was ready for the strike.
"Master The Cyber man came to an understatement & a conclusion over our primary meeting."
"I am aware of this proposal you've made with your forces & I just want to congratulate you dearly. If your final wish is to kill me than I'm strongly acceptable of your actions, not because Mondas is now rising from it's ashes but for the key of Pandora's box to be reviled."
The Master stood up & said.
"Now go ahead delete me, kill me, make me a shadow of the past!"
Before The Cyber leader could fire his weapon the factory alarm went off & the workers were in place ready for any attack. Back onto the ship hundreds of Daleks moved to the deck of the ship, the argument continued back inside the bridge until Ditzy finally awoke from her Time lord transformation. Ditzy still looked the same besides her cutie mark, instead of it being bubbles it was replaced with the same hourglass that The Doctor & Colgate had. Ditzy looked over & saw Colgate & Shining Armor holding Cloud Chaser back from shooting The Doctor. She yelled out the words no! & charged after after Cloud Chaser. Her hooves begin to flash up with yellow lights alongside her eyes as well, & she punched Cloud Chaser with such power that it sent him flying through the window out of the bridge & onto the outside deck. Discord Hooves begins to laugh under joy over the event & Ditzy laid over at a corner & started to cry. The Doctor walked over to her & started to calm her down & said.
"Ditzy it's alright. It's not your fault."
"Doctor whats happening to me?"
"Many things. Ditzy this trip has effected you deeply & for that I apologize but for us to survive in one piece we cant harm any allies of ours."
"But Doctor he was pointing a gun directly towards you! why was he? I need to know please!"
Discord Hooves soon jumped in towards the conversation & said.
"Yes Doctor tell her the truth & tell her about your future! I'm sure she's eager to know."
Shining Armor jumped in after her & said.
"Why don't you shut up already! we've all had a long lasting trip, I understand that but that doesn't mean we have point our hooves towards each other. Whatever happens must be resolved & I don't think turning ponies against each other despite their past ain't helping. We all stick together no matter what."
The ship finally arrived at the island & the facility was nearby. The battle with The Master is about to begin.
