//------------------------------// // Prologue: Breaking A Time Lord ( For Dummies ) // Story: Unbroken // by neonpalette93 //------------------------------// The opening and closing of a (rather squeaky) door echoes throughout an otherwise silent room. The clopping of hoof steps make their way through the pitch black room in a relatively straight line towards the center. The bang of a hoof stubbing against something interupts the hoof steps, followed by someone swearing under their breath. The hoof steps continue before stopping again with another bang. After more swearing, the figure continues. The hoof steps reach the center of the room, before stubbing on something else. This time the swearing is accompanied by a hoof slamming down on a metal surface. The figure stands up on two legs and pulls a lever on the surface in front of them. Several computer screens and flashy buttons flick on and make a slight him. One of the screens, offering a view of a lively looking planet, shines in the face of a bearded stallion. He begins rapidly pressing buttons, and stands back as the screen zooms into the planet's atmosphere, settling on a side street in a small town. A blue box began flashing alongside a set of coordinates. "X:306, Y:211, Z:192. In other words, 222 Walnut Street, Ponyville, Equestria, a northern country on the planet Equis." The stallion pulls another lever, this one labeled, "Lights." The lights turn on with a flash, revealing the room to be composed entirely of metal. There were metal railings leading to the center console that was completely covered in buttons, levers, and computer screens. The lights also shine down on the stallion operating the console. He was an average built stallion with a grey colored coat, and a striped mane of dark grey and light grey. He was wearing a black jacket, and had a cutie mark of a pocket watch. "Doctor." The stallion says as he stares at the screen intensely, memorizing the coordinates. "Finally. You thought I'd never find you. I thought I'd never find you, but I did. I finally tracked you down." He pauses for a second. Mumbling, he continues. "With some help." Before he can continue, a side door opens, and a strange looking robot rolls into the console room. It has an eyestock jutting out of its rotating head, and laser and suction attachments on its body. It wheels into the room, and looks toward the stallion. "THE DOCTOR HAS BEEN LOCATED!" The stallion rolls his eyes."I know. As soon as we arrived in the atmosphere of Equis, the coordinates appeared on the screen." His face brightens up as he suddenly comes up with an idea. "Dalek!" The stallion yells to the bot as it begins to leave. "Tell the other Daleks to search for my other incarnations, and send them the coordinates to my TARDIS. We may need their help." "YES SIR!" The Dalek says. "REMEMBER THAT THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY DEAL!" "Yes, yes, I know. You help me and Skaro will be spared of my wrath." As it leaves, the Dalek calls the other Daleks aboard the TARDIS using an internal radio system. "THE MASTER HAS REQUESTED A SEARCH FOR HIS INCARNATIONS!" After the Dalek leaves, the Master turns back to the console. "Now then Doctor, here I come." He presses a button, and with a flash, the Master phases out of existence, leaving a single screen flashing the words, "Entering Dreamscape."
