CHAPTER THREE: CHALLENGE ISSUED

Dr. Hooves followed Missy along the path through the gardens, pausing at one point when a stampede of animals went by, being chased by the now-crazed Fluttershy, and then they resumed their trek down the path.

"What are you up to exactly, Missy?" Dr. Hooves inquired, following his oldest friend. "What do you intend to do to Equestria?"

"All in good time, Doctor," Missy replied smugly, "all in good time."


Eventually the two ponies reached the end of the path and were soon standing in front of the entrance to the hedge maze. Missy turned to Dr. Hooves as a group came out of the shadows and he felt his hearts sink when he saw that it was the Great Intelligence and the Disney villains he and Derpy had crossed paths with at the House of Mouse with Sunrise Blossom, Timon, and Pumbaa, and with them was-

"Professor Ratigan?" Dr. Hooves asked, staring at the large and well-dressed rat, who had a smug expression on his face. "You're alive? But Basil told me that you died that night you tried to take over the empire."

Professor Ratigan chuckled. "Oh, I was suppose to, yes," he agreed. "But what Basil of Baker Street didn't know, was that when I was plunging toward the river far below that time itself froze, and dear Missy pulled me into her marvelous time machine, saving my life."

Frowning, Dr. Hooves turned to Missy. "All right, what are you up to and where is Derpy?" he asked since he couldn't see the missing pegasus.

Smirking, Missy nodded to Ursula, who lifted up a tentacle that was wrapped around Derpy, who'd been gagged, and was trying to talk through the gag, but it was so muffled that nothing she said was making any sense. "There she is, safe just like I promised," she informed her old friend. "Now, as for what I and my friends are up to, well, in order to find that out, you will need help to solve this maze to get Miss Derpy back, and learn of what the plan is."

Dr. Hooves was feeling more uneasy then before since it was unlike Missy, in any form, to play games like this, and he said so. "Solve a maze? Why are you making this into a game?" he questioned.

"Oh, Doctor, Doctor," Jafar tsked, idly running a finger over the top of his snake staff. "What's life without a game or two every now and then?"

Dr. Hooves shot the evil wizard a look before returning his attention to Missy. "Missy, please, just let Derpy go, leave Equestria alone," he pleaded, "and you can have me instead."

Missy considered this for a moment and then shook her head, beeping his nose with one hoof and he blanched. "No, I don't think so," she said. "Now, as I said before, Doctor, you will need help to solve this maze in order to stop us and save your little friend."

Dr. Hooves sighed. "Fine, what kind of help do I need?"

"Oh, it isn't a what, it's who," Missy corrected. "In fact, it's seven who's that you'll need the help of."

"Seven?" Dr. Hooves repeated. "As in seven ponies?" And when she beamed, his hearts sank even further. "You don't mean-?"

"Indeed I do," Missy sang as she danced around him a bit. "You will need the help of seven ponies that are known as the Mane Seven. Now hurry along, for you only have two hours to get them all here, and no telling either Princess, or Miss Derpy here" she nodded to Ursula, who tightened her grip on the pegasus just enough to make her gasp "will lose her life."

'Sweet Celestia!' Dr. Hooves thought, glancing over at Derpy. "Derpy, I will come back, and I will save you," he promised before fixing his fellow Time Lord with a stern look. "Keep your word, or so help me, Missy, I will do what I should've done all those years ago during the Time War when Rassilon insisted on bringing you back from the dead to fight against the Daleks," he warned before running back down the path.

"Good luck with that," Missy called after him with a broad smile, which then faded as she turned to face the Disney villains. "Best get into your positions," she instructed. "Knowing the Doctor like I do, it won't take him very long to convince Twilight Sparkle, Sunrise Blossom, and their friends to come with him to stop us."

"What is so important about those particular ponies?" Maleficent inquired.

"They're important because there is a prophecy that concerns them, particularly their friends," Missy explained, "and parts of that prophecy has already come true. We need to get them out of the way to keep the rest of the prophecy from coming true, and if we can do that, then their connections to the Elements of Harmony will be broken. Once that has happen, the whole of Equestria will be ours for the taking. That's way they're important."

Maleficent didn't look entirely convinced, but she nodded, and she lead the rest of the villains, including their prisoner Derpy, into the depths of the maze to prepare for the arrival of Dr. Hooves and the Mane Seven.

Once they were out of sight, Missy turned back to look at the path. She knew that the game would've thrown him for a loop, and it had done that. 'He'll be so focused on the game,' she thought smugly, 'that he'll miss the big picture as always. By the time he figures out exactly what I have planned for Equestria, it'll be too late to stop us from winning. Finally.'


A/N: Hmm, what is Missy up to? I already know, but I would love to know what the rest of you think in your reviews, and there will be another chapter right after this one. R&R everyone!
