Manehattan Docks
The Kraken Lashed out angrily, roaring as pieces of buildings were stuck in it's tentacles. Jason dashed behind a boat.
And things were going so well too. . .
Manehattan Hotel
"Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry Princess! Had I known you were coming-" The receptionist blubbered, only for Celestia to cut her off.
"But you couldn't have known. This is as unexpected to me as it is you. I will only be here one night." Celestia said, calming the receptionist.
"All right, the penthouse suite is yours then." The receptionist said, collecting the large bag of bits that the Doctor fetched from his blue box.
"Where'd all that money come from?" Rainbow whispered to Derpy.
"Trust me, you don't wanna know." Derpy answered as the group entered the elevators.
"Well!" The Doctor announced, "Here we are! The Penthouse!"
"Penthouse Party!" Pinkie cheered swinging from a rope that came out of thin air.
"All right," Jason said, looking at each group member in turn, "Here's the plan: Twilight, AJ, and Fluttershy will search the north end; Rainbow, Rarity, and Pinkie, you search the south end; Me, Razor, and Rose will search the west side; Doctor, Derpy, and the CMC will check the east side. Celestia, stay and get some rest please."
Celestia smiled as she said, "No complaint's here." Then promptly flopped onto the couch.
Eveypony went quiet from shock, not expecting that kind of behavior from her.
Rainbow was the first to overcome her shock, quickly putting a pair of shades on and saying, "Let do this!"
North Side
"Girls," Twilight said, coming to a halt, "Jason won't be the one to close the Void."
"Waddya' mean Twi?" Applejack asked, "O' course he's gonna do it."
"No," Twilight said, shaking her head, "It needs someone outside to close it."
"But- I mean, Why?" Fluttershy asked.
"Because, Jason won't be coming back." Twilight answered, remembering her time in The Labyrinth.
South Side
Pinkie bounced, Rainbow flew, and Rarity trotted, all in all-Wait, Why am I talking about walking?
"I dunno Author, why are you talking about walking?" Pinkie chirped. "And I'm not a bird!"
I now you're not Pinkie, figure of speech. I think they're looking at you like you're crazy.
"Oh, it's okay, I get that all the time!" Pinkie replied. Rainbow and Rarity looking on in confusion.
"So, why do you girls think Sweetie was so red faced when we left that dreadful maze?" Rarity asked, hoping to end the silence between them.
"She just told her friends about her crush." Pinkie replied between bites of a cupcake.
Rarity's eyes shrunk to pinpricks, "Sweetie, is in love?!" Rarity exclaimed while shaking Pinkie back and forth.
"Yep, her and Scoots have it bad." Pinkie responded, having just talked to a random stallion. This, however, got Rainbow's attention.
"Scoots is many things, but she's too cool for that mushy stuff." Rainbow explained, "Besides, who could she like more than me?"
Pinkie only shrugged as the group reached the edge of their boundary.
"Well, guess we'll head to the meeting place!" Pinkie exclaimed.
East Side
Something was off, The Doctor was sure of it. Looking around, The Doctor pulled out a fob pocket watch and opened it.
"My, my." The Doctor whispered, "That time already? I don't see anything remotely dangerous here!"
Suddenly, a large tentacle landed in front of him, crushing cars and buildings.
"The Girls!" The Doctor exclaimed, running down the street. He bumped into them in front of a muffin store.
"We have to get out of here Derpy!" The Doctor yelled.
"Why?" Derpy replied, counting the girls as they left the shop.
Suddenly another tentacle appeared, somehow hitting everything but the muffin store.
"Just come on!" The Doctor exclaimed, running back towards the hotel. Then he realized that they would never make it.
"Derpy!" The Doctor yelled, getting the group to stop. He whispered something in her ear and kissed her forehead. Then, he turned and ran west ward.
Derpy was silent for a few minutes before turning to the Crusaders. "Girls, go back to the hotel, knock five times on the blue box*, and stay with the Princess." With that, Derpy followed the Doctor.
Manehattan Hotel
Celestia jumped in surprise when the three fillies ran into the Penthouse, knocked five times on the blue box. Then in amazement when it started groaning and grinding, fading in and out of reality itself.
When the box finally disappeared, Celestia walked over to the window the girls were looking through, and saw something she thought was dead.
The Kraken had returned.
West Side
Jason didn't search for more than one block when a fisherpony talked about a strange creature that was larger than life.
As he, Razor and Rose walked towards the docks, he was wondering why he felt dread.
"So, you two are a couple now?" Razor asked, noticing that they were still holding hands.
Jason turned toward Razor. "Y-." Before he could finish, a tentacle had wrapped around his torso.
Today, was not a good day.
The Doctor
The Doctor was notorious for leaping head first into everything, this was no exception.
Derpy knew this. All too well. Even as the Doctor yelled and screamed, drawing the Kraken away, Derpy remembered their first meeting.
"Don't worry about me, my dear. We'll speak soon." The Doctor had told her.
"I don't understand!" She yelled, "I just met you, why are you dying?"
"Not dying. Changing." The Doctor corrected.
Derpy remembered her promise, "I won't let him change again." She had said. But even as she ran toward him. She was too late.
The Doctor was thrown into a building. Derpy gasped as she realized that it was beginning.
Not dying. Changing.
