"Gallifrey"
The words rang in Dr whooves' ears as he looked up to the two sun's that blazed in the sky. He squinted, peering at Starry, then Ditzy,  then roseluck. He turned to starry.
"How? Gallifrey is in a parallel universe! It cannot be reached!" He cried with an exasperated breath. He stared at Starry,  who looked at the ground.
"I don't know..." She trailed off. A small, wooden hut - like house stood in the distance. Staring at it, The doctor trotted over, then rapped on the door. Silence. Puzzled, the doctor pushed on the door. The room was empty, with no one in it. Just... wait, who was that?
"Hello? Miss?" Starry asked, walking up to the frozen mare. Her grey wings were open, her hoof covering her eyes. She had a darker grey mane, which was tied into a bun.
"Oh no..." Doctor whooves mumbled. Starry blinked at the creature. In a second, it was looming over her, hooves up, jagged teeth showing through it's parted lips. The wings were straight, it's eyes blank and listless.
"Run"



Starry bolted like a rocket through the door. The world around her became a blur.
Smack. Straight into her tardis.
"Ow, my muzzle! Who parked that there?" She grumbled, dusting herself down and getting up. Then, out of the corner of her eye, a movement in the sand made her look. She almost Screamed when she saw it. It was the angel. 
"They're... everywhere!" Cried Terri,  staring around with her dark, black eyes. Tears rolled down her muzzle as she looked at the cracked angel a few metres away. There were four angels in total, each in a different position. Roseluck remained in the centre of the group, panicking. Of course, the flower mare had not been in this situation before, and was in utter shock.

"Uh.. How can we get away?" The doctor inquired. He focused on the angel in front of him. He gasped, as the sound of grating stone behind him made him lose focus, allowing the angel in his sight to move forwards. He shifted back, then drew out his sonic screwdriver. He pointed it at the angel, and tried to use it. 
Nothing. 

Meanwhile, Starry was staring at an angel around three foot from her muzzle. She had her eyes locked on, and was hyperventilating heavily. A tear rolled from her eye. Slowly, she backed away. From behind her, though, came a flutter of feathers, and a brush of a stone wing on her back. She slowly slipped sideways, into the barn. No angels. 




The rest of the ponies followed. Roseluck was completely petrified, shaking and hyperventilating loudly. The barn was empty.
"Good." Mumbled Ditzy, staring around. She stretched her wings, and flew up to the celing. Roseluck sat next to starry, who was still slightly freaked out. Roseluck shuddered when she sensed movement outside.

His sss. 

"Huh? What was That?" Thought starry, but was cut short by a blow to her head. One by one, each pony was knocked out. Lying next to Alex, Starry had her eyes closed, her mouth open slightly.



Cough. Cough cough cough.

That showed that Ditzy was awake. Something was off, though. Thick, black smoke covered the room. Flames lapped up the walls, and flicked over the ground. She Screamed, and woke up everypony.
Everypony but Terri.

Starry hopped to her hooves. She flapped her wings and stared at the dark, ashy walls. Gasping and choking, she attempted to get out. The door was covered with some extremely thick wood. She cried as the fire continued to blaze. Turning around, she saw roseluck and Ditzy hugging each other,  Alex on starry ' s saddlebag and the Doctor was... trying to wake up Terri.

Clasping a cloth to her muzzle, Starry ran over, trying to wake up Terri with her bottle of water. She shook her and sobbed, Hugging Terri to her chest.
"It's no use!" Yelled a frustrated Roseluck, kicking the door with both hooves. She cried, and shoved at the wood. The celing, walls, and part of the wood was a blazing inferno. Rose kicked at one piece of the beam, then again, with the help of Ditzy pushing it.

CRASH

The beam hit the floor with an almighty thump. Staring at the gaping hole, Ditzy bolted through, getting outside and gasping for air. Her wings were closed, her chest heaving. Roseluck got outside and collapsed to the floor. Alex slid outside, sitting down. The doctor flopped to the sand, gasping. 

But where was Starry?

Starry was still in the barn, trying to get Terri to move. She was trying to get her to awaken, too. The smoke was clogging up her muzzle. Starry gasped. Her lungs were filling with the foul air. But she had to escape. Her eyes became blurred with tears, but she grabbed Terri and flew quickly out the door.

Roseluck was the first to notice she was out. She gasped, and galloped to starry, who had tears streaming from her eyes and was coughing and spluttering. Then Rose saw Terri clasped to her chest. Terri was limp in her arms.
"No...." Rose whispered. Ditzy saw that Rose had walked to starry, and was seemingly sad aswell.



A few minutes passed. Even Alex had tried her part in waking up Terri. Clasping Terri to her chest, Starry was crying uncontrollably. She was distraught. Terri was her second friend, and she was extremely sad to lose her. She was still hurt from the burns of the fire, yet she couldn't feel the pain.
"C'mon, Starry. We need to get into the....." the doctor's voice trailed off, when he saw the angels blocking the tardis. 
"Oh celestia..."
Starry dived under the angels. She needed to get in to the tardis. Her wings buzzed and her eyes stung due to the tears still running. But she got in. The others soon followed, diving in. The tardis suddenly shook rapidly.
"They're getting in!"Cried Ditzy.
