Chapter 1-The Beginning

Wednesday. Ponyville. The TARDIS.

I woke up in my bedroom, and I checked my clock. Damn! I was late to practice flying with Rainbow Dash. She would teach me flying, and in return, I would help her by being her ‘tech support’. We scheduled our lessons every Wednesday, in the morning. She hated it when I was late for lessons.
I quickly got ready, but stop before I open the door. Something on my nightstand catches my eye. I sigh. Every morning was like this. I would always forget my wedding band on my way out. Heh. My wedding was cancelled before it happened, but I still wear it. I quickly put it on, before flying out, and grabbing a piece of toast from the one of the consoles, which had a toaster.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I live in the TARDIS. I said my goodbyes to the Doctor and my mom, Roseluck, and I rush towards the doors. However, as soon as I exited the TARDIS, everything went black.

Wednesday. Cloudsdale. Pegasus Training Arena.

Rainbow Dash checked the clock. Tech’s late. Again… She sighed. If he isn’t here in five minutes… She checks the clock again. 9:44, and counting. Shortly after, she flew away, shaking her head. Where the hell is he at? She wondered as she returned home.

Day Unknown. Location Unknown.

I woke up lying flat on my back on a table, inside some sort of extremely high-tech lair. I couldn't move, since it seems I wasstrapped down. I turned my head, and I saw a data monitor. It had all sorts of information about me on it, mostly physical characteristics. This is the data that was on it:

Coat Color: Dark Grey
Mane Color: Light Grey
Eye Color: Lime Green
Notes: Seems to be a Pegasus, due to wings on back. Scans of other inhabitants show this is normal, and not a mutation. Subject will suffice for experiment. Subject appears to be a time-lord, owing to having two hearts. Extensive scans show he is only one-fourth time-lord, as well as one-half pony and one-fourth weeping angel. Strange mark on flank. According to primitives’ database, mark called a “cutie mark”. Cutie mark of subject is three interlocked gears.

My eyes widen. "I..." I managed to get out. "I'm part time-lord?!"

I hear a loud noise behind me and see a Cyberman, exactly how the Doctor described it to me. I see a Dalek next to it, and I scream. How can these two monsters be working together? According to the Doctor, the Cybermen and Daleks are each other's worst enemy. The Cyberman walks towards me, and injects me with a needle, and I black out again.

Day Unknown. Location Unknown.

I woke up, again, but, thankfully, this time I wasn't strapped down onto a table. "This is getting really bucking old." I muttered to myself. I stood up, and I saw that all of the walls were mirrors. When I finally went to actually look at myself, I wanted to scream. I even tried, but my vocal chords refused to work. My reflection is what scared me the most, since I didn’t look anything like myself. Honestly, I don't think my mom could have told it was me, even with her "Mom Sense". What I saw in the mirror, was nothing familiar. In fact, it was completely and totally alien. I looked like a machine hell-bent on destroying Equestria. If it weren't for me being the robot I saw, I probably would have pissed myself.

There was a panel on my chest, and I opened it, expecting to see my own coat, but I could only find machinery inside.
“What happened to me?” I say aloud, surprised at what I saw. “Damn.” I say with amazement, closing the panel. I started to think, What’s the point of this? Am I a prototype weapon? Wait, so THIS is what the Cybermen and Daleks were doing to me. How long have I been gone? After pacing for a bit, I realized that I was probably strong enough to smash through the mirrors. So I started trying to break out by smashing the mirrors with my hooves. Nothing.

After a bit of messing around with my internal functions, I discovered that they had stored retractable guns beneath my wings, which had become mechanical as well. With some examination, they appeared to fire heavy laser blasts. "Time to destroy them with lazers," I muttered to myself, before blasting my way out, forming a hole in the ship. Before, anyone could realize that I had escaped, I did some quick thinking and jumped out the hole.

When I landed, I saw that the damage done to my hooves instantly began to repair itself. "Whoa," I muttered as I climbed out of the crater I had made, and I began to trot towards Ponyville.

Something was wrong. Very wrong. Suddenly, I realized that nopony was around. I instinctively went to Sugarcube Corner to see if my cousin, Pinkie Pie, was still there. When I trotted inside, I saw the notice board, and what I saw shocked me. I noticed a missing poster with my name and information on it, and when I check the date I supposedly went missing, it’s today's date.

Confused, I trotted up the stairs to get some answers, and I heard two small foals crying, and a familiar voice shushing them. “Pound, Pumpkin, it’s gonna be okay. That big meanie monster will go away soon.” said Pinkie, whispering. I moved towards the sound of her voice, and found her hiding in a closet, with the Cake twins.

She screams, “Run! Run away! Run Away!” When the foals only started crying harder, Pinkie stood up, yells, "EMERGENCY DEFENSE PROTOCOLS!" I was momentarily confused, and then I realized what I must have looked like to her. Before I could say anything she had thrown a fence at me in the shape of a letter "D" and started throwing cake at me. “Dammit, Pinkie, it’s me! It’s Tech! Stop the protocol!” I then remember the defense protocol deactivation codeword. "Fondue! Fondue!" I yelled.

She stops and looked at me and said, “Tech? Is that… is it really you?” She tackled me. “You’ve been gone for an entire year!” She says, hugging me tightly. I might've not been able to breathe, but apparently I didn't need to breathe. “What happened to you?” She asks. “I got kidnapped, and turned into… this.” I replied. “Help me find our friends, Pinkie.” I continued. “There’s gonna be war as well as chaos. And not 'chocolate milk rain' chaos, I'm talking 'end of all life in Equestria as we know it' chaos.”

We left the twins with the Cakes, who we found hiding in another closet. We trot outside, and began our search for our fruends. “How do you know that there’s gonna be a war, Tech?” Pinkie asked, walking around with her usual bounce, doing better than I could've at talking and bouncing.

“Well, Pinkie, the Cybermen and Daleks downloaded all of their plans into my memory banks. I think they were trying to brainwash me into being their superweapon.” Pinkie thought for a moment, and then she understood what I was talking about. I guess giving her a crash course on computer science has finally paid off after all these years.

“Ohhhhhhhhh!” she says, smiling. I can’t help but smile along with her. I was glad to have her as my cousin. We arrived at the field underneath Cloudsdale, and I said to Pinkie, “Stay here. I’ll go get Rainbow.”

“Sure thing!” she replied.

I flew up to Cloudsdale itself, and went straight in the direction of Rainbow’s cloud house. I think the word she called her house was "Cloudominium", but I digress. I knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I tried opening the door, but it was locked. I thought to myself, If only I had a lock-picking kit... All of a sudden, my hoof felt...different. I looked over to see that my hoof had transformed into a lock-picking kit. Huh... I picked the lock and walked inside, and my hoof went back to normal. Well, as normal as it could have been, under these circumstances. I searched the house for Rainbow, but I couldn’t find her. Then everything went black.

Again.

Dammit.

Wednesday. Cloudsdale. Rainbow Dash’s cloud house.

I lifted my head, and I opened my eyes to see Rainbow sitting across from me. She was wielding a EMP boot, a weapon I had created and given to all my friends, which temporarily turns off machines. Y'know, if some evil-looking robot fell out of the sky and went searching for all of my friends. Oh wait... “I want answers.” She said, and she glared at me.

“Rainbow, I-” I barely get out of my mouth, before everything around us exploded. Stupid Daleks.
