There was that distinct gasping-wheezing sound again as the wide column, now disguised in the form of a blue police box, began to fade into view. Starlight stepped out into the street, frowned, and walked right back inside. "Why are we here?" She asked her Grandfather "I can't feel any powerful magic here."
The Doctor simply tapped one of the instruments on the main consul. Starlight looked at the reading on the 'Magical Displacement Reader' and her jaw dropped, the reading was in the red. "How, magic on that scale would have had a visible effect on this surrounding area."
"Or so you thought. See you learned something about magic, power can be contained." The Doctor said starting the time capsule into flight. Then it suddenly, violently, shook, he and Starlight both fell to the ground.
Starlight screamed and clutched her left hind leg, "Grandfather! What happened?"
The Doctor got up and stumbled when he put weight on his left foreleg. He managed to get back up to the consul and looked at the readings, "I'm afraid that we've been noticed." He said hitting a button and a monitor revealed itself and showed a beautiful alicorn mare, whose coat would make snow look grey. Her ever flowing mane was reminiscent of the many bordelaises that the two had seen over their travels and somehow was flowing as if there was wind even though their instruments clearly said there wasn't any. Her violet eyes were staring hard at the capsule, and her face was hard to read, somewhere between anger, annoyance, and kindness.
"Doctor come out here right now." She said calmly.
Starlight, scared of this large pony that was doing something that was nearly impossible, looked at her grandfather, "How is she keeping us from moving! And how does she know this is our capsule?"
Her grandfather looked at the console, "I don't know, she’s just doing it...somehow?"
"How is that even possible?"
"My dear, she's exploiting the second rule of magic, 'magic is boundless'" He said readjusted the settings on the console and tried to move the capsule again. This time the violent shaking was accompanied by several minor explosions, but they did managed to break free from the alicorn's magical grasp. The violent shaking didn't stop as they moved through the time vortex.
"Land us!!" Starlight yelled.
"I'm trying!" The Doctor yelled back as they materialized in high obit and immediately begin to fall.
