The TARDIS lands just outside the cave. The Doctor puts the TARDIS one second out of sync again. The ponies and the Doctor go inside the cave.

The Pony Doctor hears a robotic sound. He puts on his stethoscope and goes to listen around the walls. He ends up at a door, and whatever he heard, shocked him greatly.

"The strategm is in place!"

"Prepare the spaceships! We will break the time-lock! The Daleks will return to the universe!"

All the Daleks started chanting, "The Daleks will return to the universe! The Daleks will return to the universe!"

The Pony Doctor suddenly backed away from the door, scared. "One thousand years of running, and this is what the Daleks have used the Empire for. I've been thick all this time! When I knew they weren't killing them..."

Doctor Whooves suddenly interrupted. "Um, Doctor, is there something you haven't told us about?"


The Doctor and the ponies sat down as the Pony Doctor gave his story.

"The story begins after my regeneration. I split into three and I was one of them. My TARDIS crash-landed in Canterlot and that was where I met Twilight Sparkle. After I solved a mystery in the library there, I travelled back in time to the foundation of Equestria. I saw Princesses Celestia and Luna take down Discord using the Elements of Harmony, with a little help from me, of course!"

"Then one day, I visited the Crystal Empire. I saw Dalek spaceships crash near a cave far away. I don't know if they were from the Parallax War, the Time War, or any war that I haven't seen at the time. I think the Pony Invasion and the Medusa Cascade War could have made this happen."

"Then suddenly, I saw King Sombra put the Crystal Ponies in slavery. I tried to talk him out of it, since at the time, he didn't even know what his ambition was for. Then, the day before he was going to let them go, the Daleks arrived."

"I ran to my TARDIS. I saw through the scanner the Daleks making King Sombra a pawn of them, to rebuild their spaceships and build new weapons. They saw my TARDIS and I quickly ran away as fast as I could. I wanted to be with Twilight Sparkle, but before that, I helped Princess Celestia defeat Luna and saw a zap apple harvest."


Meanwhile, back inside the Crystal Empire...

Twilight Sparkle is panicking. She can't find anything about the Crystal Heart. "I didn't know it was an actual relic! The book didn't mention anything about the crystal ponies powering the heart! There was a page missing... how did I not notice?!"

Tired, Princess Cadance suddenly faints. Her magic stops. The barrier starts to disappear. Black smoke begins to surround the city. King Sombra emerges...


Inside the Dalek cave...

"Alert! The barrier has been deactivated!"

"The strategem will commence! The Daleks will return to the universe! Exterminate the Crystal Empire!"

Then, every Dalek chanted, "Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!"
