What happens when the Twelfth Doctor decides to investigate the strange anomalies at Canterlot High? Things get serious.
The Battle of the Bands is under way and the Twelfth Doctor decides that a little investigation into who these Dazzlings are, what they want, and why are seven others seemingly involved is required.
Now with an AE where the Sirens meet a different fate.
"This isn't normal at all Clara," The Doctor said. He was bent over the TARDIS controls because he had been paying close attention to some of his readings from the TARDIS. They were from the area around them and high concentrations of radiation were present. Yet at the same time the TARDIS said the radiation was harmless.
"What isn't Doctor," Clara asked as she set down the book she had been reading.
"These radiation readings make no sense at all," he said, "the radiation is present and yet it is harmless." The Doctor flipped a few switches on the TARDIS controls before standing up straight again.
"So how are you going to deal with it," Clara asked as she came to look at the readings.
"Well the whole place is contaminated with this radiation and since it is harmless that means no need for suits."
"So we're going out there?"
"Yes Clara, we're going outside." The Doctor turned around and went to the door. He opened it and stepped out into bright daylight. In front of him sat a school that spread widely. It's three large sections seemed to have three stories to it. There sat a large statue with a large stone stallion on the top. By his guesses he was near a school. The weird thing was that only the school radiated this strong radiation not the surrounding buildings. He quickly pulled out his sonic screwdriver and scanned the surroundings. There was a strong amount of energy coming from the front of the school. He walked up to the statue and scanned again. The radiation was strong around here but he didn't know why. so he leaned against the statue and his arm slipped through the wall. He quickly gathered himself before he fell through. He touched the statue with his finger and it phased through. This made him very suspicious as to what this was. It didn't matter at the moment because there was another signal four small signatures of contaminated life ahead. Clara followed intently waiting to see why they were at a school that wasn't in her time stream or dimension. To think she had given up a date with Danny for this. As they approached the school The Doctor signaled for Clara to stop. At the top of the steps stood three young women. One had a large set of orange, what seemed like fluffy or maybe curly, hair. It had yellow stripes in it and she wore what seemed to be punk clothes. Another had one pony tail with a dark blue stripe running through her light blue hair. She also wore what seemed to be punk rock clothes but she had a skirt unlike the other two. The last one had two purple pony tails with a turquoise stripe in each one. She also wore what seemed to be punk clothes. They only thing that looked the same about them were their three pendants. Each a red stone attached to braces each fitted around their necks. The first of the group spoke up when she saw the Doctor and Clara.
"Who are you two," said the orange haired one her voice sounded like she should be the leader of the group.
"My name is John Smith and this is my colleague Clara Oswald," The Doctor said. The Doctor shifted to get a better look. The sonic scredriver said four life forms but he didn't see a fourth. Once again the orange haired female spoke.
"Why are you staring at us?" She put her hands on her hips and waited for an answer.
"You look new here," the Doctor said as he walked up the steps.
"We are new here."
"Then may I please get in the school you both are blocking the way?" At this the blue haired one stepped aside with a kind smile on her face. The Doctor and Clara stepped through the newly created gap and entered the building. The inside was very large with three hallways splitting off from the circular center. The Doctor pointed to a door and quickly ran over to it. He jiggled the handle trying to open it.
"Locked," he said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his sonic screwdriver. He then aimed the sonic screwdriver at the door and activated it. The lock clicked and the Doctor opened the door," not anymore." He stepped inside and held the door for Clara. He shut it and waited listening intently for any kind of conversation. Suddenly a voice was heard. It sounded like a female voice but he couldn't be sure due to the voices being muffled due to the door.
"Are you the girls i'm supposed to show around," asked the voice.
Another voice replied, it was the voice of the one from outside," we are."
At this the other voice replied with," great follow me." Foot steps were heard and soon faded. The Doctor opened the door again and looked out. No one was there so he decided to go back out into the hall.
"Clara i'm going to find the principal and see what I can find. You go ahead and find those girls and keep an eye on them. Got it?"
"Yes Doctor I get it. Where should we meet up?"
"At the TARDIS, where else?"
"Alright i'll see you in a few hours then." At that Clara turned around and went off in the opposite direction of the Doctor. The Doctor turned around and started looking through door windows when he saw them. Six humans, no not humans, anthropomorphics that looked like humans but had horse ears and some had wings. They were playing music and a rainbow haired one looked like it was playing a guitar solo. Then they started singing again and the Doctor quickly put his hands over his ears.
"Jesus christ they're loud." He turned around and came face to face with a dark haired woman. She stood a few inches above him. Her arms were crossed and her clothes looked like regular business clothes.
"So you must be the prinicpal?" At that the dark haired woman spoke.
"No i'm the vice principal. The principal is in her office. You must be the substitution for the science teacher?"
"Yes. Yes I am." The Doctor held out his hand expecting a handshake. Instead the vice principal turned around and walked off to a door and opened it. She gestured him inside and he stepped in. There was a small secretary desk in one corner and a few chairs in another. Next to the secretary desk was another door that read Principal Celestia. On the desk sat a sign that read Luna. She then opened the next door and leaned in.
"The substitute is here Principal Celestia."
"Please send him in." At this Luna turned around and looked at the Doctor.
"You have been requested to be seen." She then returned to her desk and went to work. The Doctor stepped in and saw a woman her hair a very many shade of light colors. She sat at a desk her fingers gripped around each other.
"Please sit down," Celestia said. She gestured to a seat in front of her and the Doctor sat down. "Now as I was told by vice principal Luna you are the substitute."
"Yes ma'am," the Doctor said as he held out his hand once again expecting a hand shake. At first Celestia looked hesitant but gladly shook his hand.
"Good. Your classes start after lunch. I didn't quite get you're name mister?"
"Smith. John Smith. But you can call me the Doctor."
"Okay Doctor. Thank you for coming down to my office to state your arrival. You are free to go." At this the Doctor stood up and walked out the doors of the offices. As he turned a corner the three females walked past him. Ahead stood a very confused red head. Her hair looked like bacon to him and she wore a leather jacket. She also wore a skirt with a sun with two different colored halves depicted on it. The Doctor approached her.
"Hello. You look like you're supposed to be the substitute for science class," the red head said.
"Yes my name is John Smith but you can call me the Doctor." At that the red haired girl raised an eyebrow.
"The Doctor?"
"Yes the Doctor. Is there a problem with that."
"Yes. Our regular science teacher went by the name the Doctor as well." The Doctor's eyes widened at this statement.
"Well then I guess that means it will be like a regular class then. Can I please get you name?"
"Sure my name is Sunset Shimmer." At this she looked around and looked back at the Doctor.
"Well it was a pleasure meeting you Sunset Shimmer. Please enjoy the rest of your day." The Doctor walked away and when he was far enough away he pulled out a sonic screwdriver. "Bingo. She's contaminated with the radiation." He also had 5 more readings on his sonic screwdriver. "Five others as well? Interesting." He then walked around searching for the science room.
Clara sat down at a lunch table with her fresh tray of tacos. Tacos weren't one of Clara's favorite foods but she was pretty hungry so she wouldn't complain. At the table were a few other people. One was a female her hair was red and she looked young she had a small rose depicted on her shirt. Another was a male his hair was black and he had an hourglass in his pocket. He wasn't eating but he wasn't even paying attention. He was looking at the doors to the cafeteria. He looked like he was expecting something. Then the doors burst open and the three girls from before walked in singing a very eerie tune. The male turned to the them both.
"What the heck is going on? What is with the singing?" He had a nice little accent in his voice. It sounded like a British accent but it did hint another small accent in it somewhere.
"Heck if I know," said the female looking at him and then at Clara. Clara sat there seemingly mezmorized by the three singing voices.
"Hey um are you there," asked the male waving his hand in front of Clara's eyes bringing her back to reality.
"Oh yes, um sorry," she said rubbing her neck.
"No it's quite alright. I was going to ask for your name but you looked like you had no idea where you were. I know that isn't true but you know it looked like it," the male said," my names Hooves. Doctor Hooves"
"My name's Clara Oswald, and who's your friend," she said pointing at the other female at the table.
"My names Rose Luck," she said," and we are both very glad to meet you." At these words one of the girls passed by and they both seemed to lose any connection to reality. Their song seemed to put them in some sort of trance. From the lunch room doors the Doctor watched in horror as people started rising from their seats and started yelling at each other. The only ones that didn't were Sunset Shimmer and the ones that had been playing instruments. The three girls stopped singing and laughed. They were some sort of creature, but the Doctor didn't have any idea what kind. He then opened the door and walked in and went over to Sunset Shimmer and what he believed her friends.
"Oh hello Mr. Smith." Sunset Shimmer said as she stood up and walked over to him. The other five turned and looked at him with confusion.
"Who is this guy," asked the rainbow haired female from before," he looks like an egghead."
"Well you look like a pudding brain," the Doctor said.
"Sorry um, i'm not trying to interrupt, but um who are you," asked a pink haired one.
"I was going to ask the same of you five," the Doctor responded sitting down. He looked at the trays and picked up one of the apples. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and examinned the apple. The other six stared at this strange device as it lit up and made a noise. The Doctor stopped and looked at the sonic screwdriver.
"No signs of radiation."This apple is now mine," he bit into the apple and looked at the others. They just stared at his pocket as he put the sonic screwdriver away," what? Oh I know you have no idea what's going on do you?" The others shook their heads.
"But who the hay are you and what the heck do you want," asked the rainbow haired one again. The Doctor shifted his position and leaned in.
"If I tell you my name you tell me yours," The Doctor said. He looked around at the others and they nodded in agreement. "Good. Now my name is John Smith but you can call me the Doctor. I snuck into your school as the substitute for your science teacher. The reason i'm here is because your school is contaminated with some sort of, apparently harmless, radiation." At this the others looked at each other and then looked back at the Doctor.
"Alright our turns. My names Rainbow Dash and i'm the captain of every athletic team in the school. I'm also the lead singer and guitarist in my band," said the rainbow haired one.
All the others, except for Sunset Shimmer, yelled," our band!"
"Well mah names Applejack. Ah'm not much of an athlete but ah'm quite strong," Applejack held out her hand to shake The Doctor's. He would have shaken it if she didn't have small blotches of mud in her palms.
"My names Pinkie Pie and i'm the lead party planner on the party committee and I love to laugh," Pinkie said hopping out of her chair. The Doctor scooted a few inches away from Pinkie.
"My name is," the rest was hidden in her whisper. That is if The Doctor hadn't been smart and expected a shy one in the group. He instantly went into his pocket and retrieved what looked like ear buds.
"Sorry I didn't quite get you name," The Doctor said inserting the ear buds.
"My name is Fluttershy," is what the Doctor heard. What the others heard was a slight squeak.
"Nice to meet you Fluttershy," said the Doctor as he turned to the last of the group.
"Hello darling my name is Rarity. I don't have much to share other than the fact that I am a fashion designer and your look is far to casual. It is also missing the key piece, a tie." The Doctor raised an eyebrow.
"And why would I want a tie?"
"Because it completes the look."
"Well I don't want one thank you very much," he said as he looked at the others," now you girls have a big problem." As he said this the others looked with confusion at each other. "You are facing creatures from another world, but i don't know what world and what kind of creature," He said noticing Clara arguing among the others. He instantly got up.
"And where do you think you're going," asked Rainbow Dash as she grabbed his arm with a frown on her face.
"A friend of mine is in trouble I no longer have time to talk," he said as he pulled his arm free. As Clara saw him approaching she looked at him with a frown. She didn't look to happy to see him, but why?
"Hello Doctor," Clara said as she started walking towards the exit.
"Clara what's wrong? What's going on?"
"I don't know Doctor why don't you ask your TARDIS." These were the words that the Doctor stopped walking at. Clara walked off leaving him alone in the halls.
"I guess i'm investigating this on my own," he said as he went to the TARDIS.
The Doctor walked back to the TARDIS trying to understand what had just happened. It isn't like Clara to be so ticked off at him. Could her behavior have something to do with these creatures and their apparent powers? He needed to get to the bottom of this and he needed to do it fast. He opened the door to the TARDIS and walked to his large selection of books. He grabbed a few and slammed them on the floor next to him as he sat down. He picked up the first. The cover said the name of the book was Mythological Creatures. The Doctor flipped open the book and started reading each description. After a few minutes he came across a description that fit those three girls capabilities very well. "TARDIS tell me everything you know about the sirens," the Doctor said. The TARDIS' screen eventually started scrolling words across the screen.
The Sirens. Mythical creatures of Greek mythology that, according to Greeks, were mermaid like creatures that used their voices to attract sailors and then kill them. The Sirens were said to have a version across every universe. Many having been killed of or banished. The worlds that are called home to these creatures sometimes have no water whatsoever. So they adapted to these and use their voices to gain power so that they can cause even more problems for the residents of the worlds they live on. Some worlds that banished the beings flourished and eventually forgot that the sirens existed. The world you are in, as of now, only has two cases of sirens. One being thousands of years ago. Another being very recent. Their last activity was within the school known as Canterlot High. This is the school you landed by.
The Doctor looked out the door and back at the school. "Thank you TARDIS. That will be all for now." The Doctor noticed the six from before sitting by the statue each one trying to keep themselves from getting bored. They were talking and just sat there. Once and a while one of them would look at the base of the statue with intent. It was like they were expecting something or someone to just appear there. Then the next thing he saw nearly had him drop his jaw. From the base of the statue a girl flew out of no where followed by a dog. The girl had a skirt with a set of stars printed on it. Her shirt was a sky blue and she had a bow tie. Her shoes, just like the others, went all the way up to her knees. The dog was purple with green ears and it also rubbed its head. To the Doctor this was awkward as he hadn't seen a dog that was capable of human abilities in a very long time. The girl rubbed her head and looked at the others who were very excited to see her because the Doctor heard them scream.
"Twilight," is what every single one of them yelled. Sunset Shimmer ran over and tried helping her up. Twilight hesitated at first and then accepted the help. As she got up the others ran over and put her into a huge group hug. They soon separated the hug and started talking. They started walking away from the school and were soon on their way to a nearby shop. It looked like a cafe.
"Why of all places would they go to a cafe if they could just go back into the school and talk there," The Doctor asked himself as he closed the TARDIS door. He needed to find out what was going on and he needed to do it now.
The girls sat at a table near the entrance to the cafe. They were talking about past times and what they'd been doing lately. Then Rarity asked a question that peaked the Doctor's interest. "So darling what have you been up to recently, I mean other than having to come here and help fight the sirens." So they did know they just weren't going to say anything. Then instead of Twilight speaking the dog spoke instead.
"She has her own official title now," the dog then made a trumpeting noise," the princess of friendship." The others congratulated Twilight.
"Wow. You really are Celestia's prized pupil," Sunset Shimmer said with small hints of unhappiness in her tone. Then Twilight asked a question.
"She's even got her own castle," the dog added. Rarity grabbed Twilight and spilt a milk shake all over her clothes.
"You have a castle," Rarity yelled. She instantly let go of Twilight and grabbed some napkins. She then started wiping off the milk shake.
"So what's new here other than three mythical creatures coming to the school to take over the world." The others were silent for a bit before Rainbow pulled out her phone.
"Yeah that isn't the only strange thing going on around here," Rainbow said showing Twilight her phone. On the screen Rainbow went from human to something like an anthropomorphic being. She then put her phone away.
"I don't understand I thought when i took my crown back to Equestria I took the magic with me. Maybe some of the magic stayed here at Canterlot High," Twilight said. The others just thought the same thing and nodded their heads in agreement. The Doctor had heard enough and got up from the table and walked out the door.
"So this new girl comes from a place known as Equestria. Well what about the sirens would they also have come from Equestria? Perhaps they did and this new girl is here to fix the problem?" The Doctor just kept asking himself questions on his way back to the TARDIS. He didn't like where all of this was going, but that was a good thing for him. A little excitement was always good for his hearts. He stepped back inside the TARDIS and got ready for his classes for this afternoon.
The school's hallways were almost completely empty, except for a few football players but there was not a single sign of intelligent life in sight. Then he heard shouts of anger and doors opening. He started walking down halls and turning a few corners to find a hallway with not a single light working. "Wow. One of the most populated schools i've ever seen and they can't afford to fix some light bulbs," The Doctor said. Then from out of the shadows walked the three girls from before. He tried to pull his head away so they didn't see him but it was to late. The orange haired one noticed him and stopped walking.
"I saw your head. There is no point in hiding," she said. The Doctor stepped out from his hiding place and the female didn't seem surprised.
"Hey, that's the guy from before," the blue haired one said with a smile on her face.
"Shut up Sonata," the purple haired one said," like it wasn't already obvious." Then Sonata looked at the purple haired on and crossed her arms.
"Well maybe I thought you didn't know," Sonata said.
"Oh yeah like I so wouldn't have known. We only met him a few hours ago," the purple haired one said as she rolled her eyes.
"Will you two shut up," the orange haired one said.
"Yeah Aria be quiet," Sonata said.
"You both be quiet or i'll have your heads," the orange haired one said clenching her teeth. The Doctor turned around and started to walk away. Only to be stopped by the group's sudden attention placed upon him.
"Get back over here right now," the orange haired one said. The Doctor approached the girls again and stood in front of them. He knew if he made it look like he was under their control he'd get out of the problem at hand very quickly. The girls looked at him and then started walking in the direction of the gymnasium. That was exactly where he needed to go to witness these girls in action. He went to the door and pushed it open. As he entered he nearly went deaf at the sudden burst of loud noises he heard. It was a large gymnasium filled with people arguing. He started looking for Clara and spotted her standing against a wall talking to some friends. The Doctor quickly moved toward her only to be stopped by someone yelling.
"There won't be a battle of the bands," yelled Twilight. The Doctor saw her look at her friends and then she grabbed the hands of her two nearest friends. A few seconds passed and then she announced in a triumphant voice," Friendship is magic." The Doctor nearly laughed at that. The whole gymnasium looked over at her and then the orange haired one spoke up.
"Wow these girls must think they already have this in the bag." The whole gymnasium was filled with the uproar of students at this. The Doctor started towards Clara once again.
"Come on Clara we need to talk," he then grabbed Clara by the shoulder and she slapped him. He rubbed his cheek and looked back at Clara.
"Don't you dare touch me again," Clara said as she started towards the gym door.
"Clara wait," The Doctor said running up after her. Clara walked out the door and tried to close it on the Doctor. The Doctor stopped the door and followed her. They were now back in the main hall headed toward the front doors when The Doctor caught up to her. "Clara what's wrong? This isn't like you at all," The Doctor said stepping in front of Clara. Clara stopped and stared at The Doctor with a menacing look.
"Just be quiet raggedy man," Clara said.
"What do you mean by raggedy man? I'm wearing perfectly fine clothes," The Doctor said as he looked down at his clothes," wait a second. Now that was completely uncalled for." Clara rolled her eyes and walked past The Doctor.
"Well go away and such insults would not be needed," Clara said as she stepped outside.
"Okay i'll leave you alone big eyes," The Doctor said," I hope you don't mind if I called you that. After all your eyes are as big as an owls." Clara stopped in her tracks and looked back at The Doctor.
"How about you shut up so I don't make you regenerate," Clara yelled as she turned around.
"I'm sorry did I offend you," The Doctor asked. He just needed to get her to listen by getting her attention with insults. He usually jokingly insulted her but this was different.
"Yes of course you did," Clara yelled as she stomped back to The Doctor.
"You're a young woman but you act like a two year old who had to much sugar before bed," The Doctor said as he ran past Clara towards the TARDIS.
"Doctor i'm warning you," Clara said as she chased him," if you don't stop making fun of me i'll.... i'll." Clara couldn't think of anything to say to him.
"Or what you'll hit me with that wide face of yours," The Doctor asked," you do need three mirrors for it so why not turn it into your weapon?" The Doctor opened the door to the TARDIS and held it open as Clara ran in. He walked out and shut the door. He then pulled out his sonic screwdriver and locked the door.
"Doctor," Clara yelled as she tried to open the door," Doctor you let me out this instant."
"Sorry Clara, well not really," The Doctor said as he tucked the sonic screwdriver in his pocket," but you need to stay in the TARDIS so you don't cause me anymore trouble with your crankiness." The Doctor walked back towards the school and looked back at the TARDIS. He could see the door being hit from the inside. This didn't matter though what mattered is that The Doctor needed to head back to the gymnasium to keep an eye on those three girls from before. As he entered the gymnasium he, once again, nearly went deaf. The yelling and arguing had increased although there wasn't any change in the amount of people in the gymnasium. The girls were nowhere to be seen. This meant he may have missed another chance at viewing the capabilities of these sirens up close. He kicked the door and headed towards the science room. He needed to borrow a chalkboard or something to write on.
The Doctor had just finished a large mathematical equation. "This makes absolutely no sense Clar....." he stopped at the realization that he was alone. This time he wouldn't have his companion to help figure things out. He was on his own with nothing but a sonic screwdriver and an ID. He threw the fifth piece of chalk down breaking it. "What is the point of these sirens being here if there is nothing to steal or eradicate," The Doctor asked as he went back to his notes. No matter how hard he tried the equation pointed towards one thing and that was more power. Although there isn't any source of power to gain from this school. As he was working he remembered the radiation that he had found around the school. Perhaps this is what they were after? He opened the door to the science room and ran towards the gymnasium. He needed to get a look at what he could find there.
He entered the gymnasium to everyone telling each other to be quiet. The lights dimmed and three spotlights shined down on a stage on the far end. Below the stage was a table with two woman by it. He recognized them as the vice principal and principal. Then two teens around the size of The Doctor's waist stepped on stage. They both were wearing baggy clothes and some baseball caps. Then they picked up some microphones and the vice principal wrote down something on her paper and the two on stage started talking. The Doctor realized what they were trying to do. They were trying to rap and weren't doing so well. Luckily they failed to keep the rap going and gave up. They made it look like they had purposely ended it at that point by dropping the microphones and crossing their arms.
"Please don't drop the microphones," said a very bored principal Celestia. The two on stage walked off stage and the next to go up were the five he had been watching earlier but this time Twilight had joined them. They set up and then began a song. It was actually a lot quieter than the one he had heard them playing from before. Then from the corner of his eyes he saw a few of the other contestants head towards back stage. He thought he knew what they were trying to do so he decided, since no one else would, he'd go stop them from ruining the bands performance. He started speed walking across the gym floor and got back stage. He didn't see any of the people he had seen a few seconds ago. Then he heard a clinging like metal hitting metal. He looked up to see two girls dropping magnets over the curtain. He suddenly heard the change in the music. He knew what had happened. They had used the magnets to grab an instrument or something on someone so they would let go of it. He ran to the nearest ladder and started climbing up to the cat walk above. Then he heard a loud bang and he saw pieces of confetti fly over the curtain. He started climbing further. He was nearly half way there when he heard the creaking of metal. He looked up at the top of the cat walk and it wasn't going to break. He looked around and saw the two teens from before messing with a light. They were shining it all over the stage and were laughing about every second. He climbed further up the ladder and pulled out his sonic screwdriver. He gripped the ladder with one hand and used his sonic screwdriver. The light shut off and the back sparked. The Doctor quickly put his sonic screwdriver away and climbed up the ladder. As he reached the top the song ended and he exhaled with irritation. He had just climbed up a ladder to help the band. Then he had gotten to the top and the song had ended. He gripped each side of the ladder and slid down it. He reached the bottom and walked out towards the bleachers. He just hoped this hadn't cost the band the chance to move on to the next round. Because he had a feeling that these girls would be useful in the end.
The Doctor sat at the back of the gymnasium trying his best not to go deaf over all the terrible music he was listening to. The bands were horrid and needed plenty of work. The only good one he had heard was a band of three females. One had some eyes he feared made it hard for her to see and even look smart. Her clothes were a bit strange but he wouldn't complain. To a lot of people he was dressed oddly as well. He tried his best to stay seated in case he needed to stop any more saboteurs. He also needed to see the sirens power at work. They obviously wanted power and the only power that seemed odd was the radiation the TARDIS had detected earlier. As the acts continued The Doctor slowly started to think he had missed the siren's act. He got up and was about to leave when Principal Celestia called out for a band known as The Dazzlings. The Doctor didn't make much of the name until he saw the sirens walk onto the stage. He quickly put some ear plugs in and pulled out his sonic screwdriver. He neeeded to get readings of the siren's power so he knew how strong he'd need to make any plan so that he could defeat them. As the sirens began to sing he aimed the sonic screwdriver at the sirens. He activated it and held it there for a few seconds as it whirred. Then he brought it up and looked at the readings. Their power was rising ever so slightly and it was still rising. He tucked his sonic screwdriver in his pocket and ran down the bleachers. He got a few nasty looks from some of the people in the bleachers. He threw open the gymnasium doors and ran down the hall to the exit. He burst through the doors and into the front of the school. The TARDIS still sat on the street corner. He ran over to it and put his ear against the door he heard light snoring inside. He guessed that meant the TARDIS had either put Clara to sleep or she had fallen asleep banging on the door. He unlocked the TARDIS doors and walked inside. He looked around to see if Clara had ruined anything. He found her laying in a recliner covered in his coats and other clothing. He walked down a set of stairs and into a supply room. He started digging through boxes ever so quietly so he didn't wake up Clara.
"Where are they," The Doctor whispered to himself." They have to be here somewhere." As he dug through the boxes he set things aside. Such as an extra head for K-9 MK VI, a scarf that was made of many colors, he had no idea why some of his regenerations chose to wear what they wore. He pulled out an old cyberman head. He guessed it was either Handles or someone had brought a cyberman head on board and stuffed it down here. Then he saw exactly what he was looking for. Temporal disruptors sat inside a box filled with wires and panels. They were small half spherical objects with a small bulb and a button. The bulbs were green. Apparently he had been paid a trip by an old regeneration, or something, because he never puts anything as dangerous as the disruptors in a box with other things. How they got there was beyond him he just hoped they weren't damaged. The power they could release, if they were damaged, could tale the entire school off the maps of the Earth. He picked them up and shook off wires. He grumbled to himself at the disorganization of the closset. Then he exited the closet and shut the door. He looked around to make sure Clara wasn't waiting for him. He checked then double checked before he walked up the stairs. Clara was still sleeping on the recliner. He stuffed the small disruptors in his pockets and opened the TARDIS door. He closed the door and locked it again.
He ran back towards the school and back towards the gym. It was completely empty, well almost. The janitor was sweeping up spilt food and drinks. He looked a bit young to be working like he was. The Doctor didn't have time to investigate him though. He only had time to stop evil creatures from destroying the world, or whatever they had planned for it. He ran past the janitor and onto the back stage. From there he went to some of the props back stage and attached a temporal disruptor to the back of a cardboard coconut tree. He double checked it to make sure it was secure before heading out to the back bleachers. The janitor was still mopping up some orange liquid. He crawled behind some of the bleachers and placed another one. He then crawled out and looked back at the janitor. He was still mopping up the liquid as if he were lost in thought. The Doctor ignored him ans crawled behind another set of bleachers before attaching another one. He crawled back out again and went to the last set of bleachers. He crawled underneath and attached the final temporal disruptor. Instead of sticking onto the surface it fell off and dropped to the ground. The Doctor picked it up and pulled out his sonic screwdriver. He used it on the temporal disruptor and the light flickered then died. He tried multiple times before giving up. He crawled back out and stuffed the disruptor in his pocket. He just hoped the disruption created by the three was strong enough to send the sirens to another universe. He walked out of the gymnasium and walked to the science room. As he walked down a hall he saw a flier on the wall that caught his eye. He took it off the wall and read it
The Battle of the Bands
The Dazzling vs. Rainbooms
Where: The Colt Hill Stadium
When: 9:00 PM
The Doctor groaned," great that means I have to go back and grab those disruptors, run all the way down to that stadium, and set up before nine o'clock." He ran back into the gymnasium and went behind the bleachers. He grabbed the disruptors then went behind the stage and grabbed the other disruptor. He then ran past the janitor who was still lost in thought as he burst through the door and ran down the hallway. He stuffed the disruptors in his pockets and threw open the front doors to the school. He ran past the TARDIS and down a few streets befoee stopping to catch his breath.
"Are you okay," asked a voice behind him.
"Yes i'm fine," he panted as he sat down to look at the owner of the voice. Except no one was there only a purple dog.
"Okay well I need your help," the dog responded.
"You're that dog I saw earlier. The one dog that somehow can speak." The dog looked at him with curiosity.
"Well it's good to see you know who I am," the dog said as he stood up on his hind legs and put his hand on his chest," but I seriously need your help."
"Why do you need my help," The Doctor asked as he looked at him with a look of confusion," I'm just an old man to you."
"Anyone can help me. My friends got locked down below the stage by another band so that they could play at the finals. I need to find someone not controlled by the sirens and you don't look like it. You do act like it though." The Doctor grumbled a few times before standing up.
"Fine but I see one more person who hasn't been affected by their song," he said as he pointed at a girl with a white coat and some jeans. Her hair was strips of sky blue and a light water blue. She wore sunglasses and had headphones on her ears. The Doctor approached her and tapped her on the shoulder. The female looked around and lowered her sunglasses to get a look at The Doctor. She took off her headphones and paused her music.
"Whaddya want," the female asked as she looked at The Doctor with impatience.
"Well I thought you'd be heading up to the battle of the bands and hoped you'd be able to take me there." The Doctor said as he looked at the dog and winked.
"Nah that battle of the bands stuff is pointless dude." The female said as she turned back around.
"I'll pay you." The Doctor said as he taunted her. He didn't actually have any money but she didn't know that.
"Fine but don't expect anything else from me." The female groaned as she got out of her seat and started walking down the street. The Doctor followed with the dog close behind. He wasn't going to help the dog. He was going to help the planet. He was just using the female to get the dog's friends out of the trap they had fallen into. The female slipped on her pair of headphones and turned her music back on. She started walking to the beat of the music as they continued to walk down streets.
"So what is your name?" The dog asked as they stopped at a traffic light.
"John Smith." The Doctor replied. He was to busy planning to start a big conversation with the dog.
"Well mine's Spike and if i'm correc, that girl up ahead is Vinyl Scratch." The Doctor looked at him with suspicion.
"And how would you know that?" The Doctor asked continuing to stare at Spike.
"Well she looks like a pony from Equestria known as Vinyl Scratch. Just like those girls you met earlier look like ponies from Equestria as well." The Doctor became even more puzzled. Equestria wasn't the name of a country but a whole different world or dimension or universe.
"That's nice." The Doctor said as he continued to think of a plan to stop the sirens. The Doctor seemed to stop looking around and never noticed how close they were to the stadium. The Doctor came back to reality when he heard music playing. He was already to late to start the plan. He'd just need to get to work now. He picked up pace as he grabbed Vinyl's hand and yelled," quickly. We don't have much time." The Doctor was pulling Vinyl along as they got closer to the stadium. When they got to the road to get up the hill The Doctor stopped and looked at Vinyl. She seemed surprised to see an old man pull her to the stadium. "Alright Vinyl," The Doctor said," you need to follow that dog because he needs your help to get some girls out of a trap."
"Why do you know my name?" Vinyl asked.
"I know someone from another dimension who looks exactly like you."
"Well that is just creepy." Vinly replied as she continued to stare.
"It doesn't matter anyways. You have girls to save."
"Why? How did they even get in there?"
"Trixie opened a trap door underneath them and they fell in." Spike replied as he ran up the hill.
"I'll pay you double." The Doctor offered.
"Fine but nothing else." Vinyl said as she ran after the dog. Now The Doctor was close to relieving this world of the evil sirens.
The Craziest Battle of Music the Doctor has Ever Seen or Heard
The Doctor ran through the gates passing by a guard as they yelled stop from the ticket booth. The Doctor didn't listen and locked his door so it would give him time to get ahead. He ran through halls and pasts vending machines. He ran through crowds of people who were buying things from food stands and standing near water fountains. He saw a sign that read back stage pointing to a nearby door and ran towards.
The Doctor burst through the doors and onto the back stage just in time to see the sirens as they began to walk on to front stage. The Doctor fidgeted in his pockets for his ear buds but he wasn't fast enough as the sirens began to sing. The Doctor began to lose all sight of reality as his mind began to clear of many thoughts and he couldn't stop it now.
The Doctor sat there thinking to himself," they won it's over. I failed and now i'm going to become a brainless slave to these sirens." Then even that thought became no more. Their singing continued as it became stronger, that is until another song cut their's a bit short. The Doctor began to independently think again. He shook his head a few times before checking his surroundings. Off in the distance a song carried across the wind. It was upbeat and a lot better sounding than the sirens' music. The Doctor looked out from behind a curtain and noticed that the females from before, Vinyl, and Sunset Shimmer were all standing on a hill near what looked like a DJ booth.
This time their clothes looked absolutely stupid. The Doctor began looking around in hopes of finding somewhere he could land the TARDIS. He could help Clara and take the sirens somewhere deserted. That is if they'd stop being floating anthropomorphic creatures in the air singing. That's when he realized he wasn't under their control any more. There must have been a point in the song that made them transform as they seemed completely lost in their own power. The females must have broken their spell because the sirens seemed distracted by the eight of them. The Doctor pulled out his key and called the TARDIS. In seconds the TARDIS was back stage ready to open its doors. The Doctor unlocked the door and opened it. He hoped the eight female's song would fix Clara as well.
Then everything slowed down again as the sirens began to sing once more. The Doctor tried his hardest to continue working when the eight female's song cut in again. It seemed like they were winning until the sirens took control once more. This time they sent out creatures made of light. They streeked across the sky towards the girls and they fought back with music. Each beat they played sent out some sort of weapon made of music. The girls seemed to be winning until the sirens started blasting them with music. The Doctor caught a glimpse of the band falling over before he couldn't continue to look on his own. His eyes were glued to the sirens. The next thing he knew a new voice had joined in and he was back in control. He looked out to see Sunset Shimmer singing and becoming another anthropomorphic human. The Doctor was getting annoyed as she was the seventh human to become an anthropomorph and it was getting way to disturbing to look at. Then light burst up from the ground and surrounded the band. The light rose up into the sky and disappeared amongst the clouds. From the clouds appeared a giant cyan and rainbow alicorn made of light. From its horn it shot a huge light beam that struck the sirens and they were engulfed in light. Everything went white and when the white died out the sirens were laying on the stage with red crystal broken all around them. They got up and started singing with even worse voices than before.
"We will be adored, tell us that you," they stopped at that as the crowd started throwing food at them. They ran off crying and the Doctor laughed all the time back to the TARDIS. When he stepped inside Clara looked very angry.
"How long was I out," Clara asked.
"Four maybe five hours," The Doctor guessed.
"You don't know," Clara asked angrily.
"I was trying to save the world Clara," The Doctor said as he stepped up to the controls the TARDIS.
"Well I hope you can tell me all about it on the way home," Clara said as the TARDIS made the groaning and wheezing noise as it disappeared.
The Sirens swarmed The Doctor, they could taste hate, so much hate, as if there was a limitless amount. As they grew closer the taste was unbearable.
"I've seen what you can do," The Doctor nodded towards the stadium full of brain dead humans," and I wouldn't suggest doing it to me."
"And why not," Adagio cooed," you have so much power."
"Ah perhaps I do," The Doctor frowned," but it will be far to much for your insignificant life forms."
"We'll be the judge of that," Adagio nodded to the two others.
Sonata and Aria began to hum a slow tune. The humming became a long, held out tune. The Doctor stared at Adagio, his eyebrows flared.
"I'm warning you," The Doctor crossed his arms," don't do this."
"To late," Adagio laughed. She joined in the tune and the gems on their necklaces began to pulse.
Every second the pulse became brighter, every minute seemed like the Sirens were gathering more and more. The Doctor stood between them, arms crossed.
"You brought this upon yourself," The Doctor growled.
"Brought what upon ourselves," Adagio asked.
Suddenly Aria dropped to the ground, grabbing her head, she screamed in agony.
"That."
"Then she is reverting to her original form," Adagio smiled.
"It's far worse than that," The Doctor grumbled," don't you get it yet? Here take it, take the hate, have all you'd like. But you won't be laughing soon."
Sonata then dropped to the ground, screaming and kicking.
"What are you doing to us," Adagio shouted, her pupils shrunk with fear staring at her sisters.
"I'm not doing anything," The Doctor laughed," it's your own undoing."
Adagio soon joined her sisters, lying on the ground. The pain felt like a million blades striking her body. Every second her body felt like I twas burning.
"W-w-what are you," Adagio asked, the pain continued to grow.
"I'm The Doctor, i'm a Time Lord, i'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous," The Doctor growled," i'm the oncoming storm, the bringer of darkness. I've fought through the Time War and I am your own undoing. When you began feeding you thought there'd be enough hate to share around. You were wrong. As we speak, the more hate you absorb. The closer to exploding you become. Your feeble frames can't hold all the hate I have gathered, from the Time War, from the people, like you, who wanted more power. Say hello to the side of me, no one should ever meet. It'll be the last thing you ever touch in this world. So cry, scream, no one cares, you are nothing but a set of power hungry sirens, who indulged in far to much."
The Siren's body's began to glow, their gems shook and rattled and The Doctor stood between them as their screams were cut short by the three of them exploding, one by one, Siren guts flying everywhere.
"I warned them."
The Doctor walked over to each blood stain and picked up their gems, setting them in his inner coat pocket. He couldn't help feeling a bit empty after all of this.
He walked to the TARDIS and was met with open arms.
"So Doctor how'd you do it," Clara asked.
"They did it to themselves Clara," The Doctor replied," I had no part in their demise."
"Well where to next," Clara asked.
"Home, I think i've had enough fighting monsters for today."
Clara hugged The Doctor's arm as he flipped the switch on the TARDIS controls.
