"Elemental, go get Time, now!" Sabre turns around to say before he turns back to look at the Violet Steve, who is looking back at him.

"What's going on here!?"

"It's happening throughout every kingdom. A Red Steve earlier said it might have been spreading for months and why people and ponies have gone missing," The Violet Steve answered.

"So this has been growing for potentially months!?"

"Apparently so," The Violet Steve replied to Sabre.

"Is she gonna be okay?" Is all Granny Smith could ask in a murmur, gently stroking Apple Bloom's mane with her left forehoof.

"I... I don't know," Violet Steve stuttered in response, who is under stress from this new infection going around, and taken by surprise Sabre had just come in.

"Keep strong..." Big Mac said in a low pitch voice of anxiety and concern. Not only Applejack isn't feeling well, now Apple Bloom isn't feeling well too.

"I came as quick as I could!" Time Steve said loudly as he walks straight to the Yellow filly.

"This reminds me of something... not sure if it's exactly that... but I hope it's not," Said Time Steve.

"What is it Time? You think you know what it is?" Sabre asked.

"I have read something similar to this, when we were at the Great Library..." Time Steve started explaining, looking at Apple Bloom's completely white eyes before looking back at Sabre.

"Before the demons, before Void or the darkness... there was a steve, who corrupted those he could grab hold of onto someone's fears..."

"Those he corrupted, he shows them their worst fears. Those fears may not be what you think of, he knows your worst fear while you don't. It can't be healed by Green Steves... and I don't think I can reverse the time state." Time Steve finishes his explanation, before glancing at the CMC, to both adults of the apple family, to Applejack, to the Violet Steve before finally looking back at Sabre.

"I hope not... but I fear it is that infection."

"So, we're potentially dealing with an ancient infection- EVERYONE! Get away from Apple Bloom, NOW! We don't know if she can spread it onto anyone near her!" Sabre barked, making everyone jump apart from Apple Bloom, who remains sitting, not moving or talking, not even responding.

"Does this mean I caught it!?" Sweetie Belle panicked, getting down to the floor and shakes, her forehooves on top of her head.

"I don't know Sweetie Belle, but it's best we don't take chances, not until we can figure out a solution to the problem," Sabre responded before he looks back at Time Steve.

"Time, did it say anything about how to cure this infection?" Sabre asked.

"We need to inside the mindscape, and help them overcome whatever the fear is," Time Steve answered.

"So that means someone like Luna would be able to sort it out, but- She returned to wherever they were as well as Celestia. The only reason she and Celestia came back in the first place was because Cadence panicked when the six disappeared, from what I have heard. So bringing Luna back would be wrong on our part," Sabre replied.

"Could Twilight or Starlight do anything? They're pretty strong," Elemental Steve suggested.

"Hmm... *Looks at Time Steve* we should go and get Starlight. Let's see if she can do anything about it, as she does have a variety of abilities. Twilight is pretty powerful, but Starlight does have more variety in her abilities, from what I've seen at least," Sabre said as he then looks towards Apple Bloom.

"I hope she's okay... although, she's probably not, if she's seeing her worst fear," Sabre thought to himself.

"Time, let's go." Sabre and Time Steve walks out of the mental station. Once outside, Time Steve summons lightning.


(In Twilight's castle)

The rest of the mane 6 as well as Light Steve, Dark Steve, Starlight, Shining Armour and Spike are at the round table. The 2 remaining out of the 3 elite Colourless Guards are also present. In the room is also the Doctor and Doctor Whooves. They have both 2 telephone box-looking time machines parked next to each other near the table.

"I've seen them before and they only have the goal of exterminating all non-Dalek life. On many occasions, I have stopped them from launching an attack on not just Equestria, but this whole world as a whole," Said Doctor Whooves.

"Well, what if we destroy them after we defeated the demons, Doctor? They are doing most of the work against them demons," Dark Steve suggested.

"Doctor who?" They both replied in unison.

"This is getting confusing real quick," Light Steve sighed to himself. Then, one of those new 'mechs' came through one of the tall crystal green doors. This one is blue, and has blue banners with the Blue Steve symbol covering its bumps, and the Blue Steve symbol on both sides of the eyestalk on it's dome head.

"CAN I BE OF ASSISTANCE?" The 2 lights flashed on the dome head flashed for each syllable.

"So there's two of them... this is gonna end badly... will I even have to say my testimony to prove it to them?" The Doctor asked himself with multiple thoughts.

Meanwhile, lightning strikes by one of the crystal green doors, Sabre and Time Steve appearing after the lightning died away.

"Where is Starlight?" Time Steve asked first thing after teleporting.

"I'm here." The light pink unicorn walks to Time Steve.

"Do you have abilities that can send anyone into mindscapes? Because Apple Bloom is infected, and according to Time Steve, this infection is ancient and shows people their worst fears, and the only way to cure it is to go into those mindscapes and help them overcome their fear," Sabre asked, then explains why he asked.

"Oh my- Is she alright!?" Rarity gasped, running up to Sabre.

"She isn't hurt... physically, but it's gonna become a pretty big problem real soon. She's currently with the rest as well as Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. So... she should be fine, for now," Sabre responded.

"I hope she'll be okay though..." Fluttershy faintly said, anxiety building up within her. What if she gets infected?

"This sounds... vveeerryy suspiciously like King Sombra," Pinkie Pie stated.

"What's happening now!?" Twilight exclaimed, hovering over to Sabre, Time Steve and Starlight. Sabre explains the same thing he said to Starlight.

"Do you have abilities that could send anyone into mindscapes, is what I'm asking?" Sabre asked.

"I think I can Sabre, but I never tried to. I- I can't remember how to do it," Twilight replied.

"Well you're gonna have to try doing it now," Time Steve sternly responded.

"Apple Bloom is infected, and Time Steve may think it's this infection from generations ago, and it showed people their worst fears- So much is happening!"


(The rest of the group)

"Trust me, I've seen what they're capable of," The Doctor kept on repeating.

"But these things obliterate them demons!" Professor Red came in through the portal, the exact same portal he and Time Steve made while they were still trying to look at how to defeat Madness Steve. Not only he came through, but the red-painted varient of these new redstone mechs, another Red Steve, a Blue Steve and Assistant Steve.

"And they'll obliterate everything else," The Doctor said with a monotone.

"You are not aware of how valuable these new mechs are-"

"Shut it," The Doctor interrupted and he turns around to face and walk to Assistant Steve. He also points with his fingers of his left hand. Everyone else in the room just stares at the Doctor. No one ever tried to back chat Assistant Steve.

"I don't care whether you're an AI. I know about the Daleks much more than you. Unless you want this to end badly, I suggest you do as I say. Call me a moron all you like, the Daleks are death."

"I have to... so ask this..." Pinkie Pie thought to herself as she walks up to the blue painted mech. The dome head turns until the eyestalk is looking at the pink earth pony.

"Can I have some tea?"

"NO," The blue mech replied. But then the red and blue mech then notice each other, and manoeuvres to each other, eyestalk looking at eyestalk.

"REPORT," The blue mech demanded.

"MISSION SUCCESS! ORIGINATION OF INFECTION DETECTED!" The red mech replied, it's whole armoured casing shaking as it replied.

"TRANSMIT DATA!" The blue mech demanded.

"TRANSMITTING DATA NOW," The red mech responded.

"Transmit what where!?" The Doctor yelled at the mechs.

"I'm picking up signatures from nearby redstone towers, that there is an unknown object in the sky," Assistant Steve stated.

"DATA RECEIVED! DATA RECEIVED!" The red mech said as it shakes. They both began to slowly turn around to face the group.

"Everyone, get back!" The Doctor yelled as he gets well clear from the 2 mechs. Everyone listens and takes some steps back.

"EXTERMINATE INFERIOR LIFE FORMS!" The red mech aims for Light Steve and the blue mech aims for Shining Armour. White plasma began to build up in both of the whisk-like device of both mechs. Shining Armour, a surprised expression across his face, jumps infront of Light Steve. His horn glows pink and raises a pink shield of magic, deflecting the 2 plasma bolts of energy shot at them. The 2 elite Colourless Guards run up to attack the mechs with their spears. The mechs turns around and returns fire, the plasma killing them as it made contact. When those 2 elite Colourless Gaurds fell to the ground, the helmets fell off, showing the head of a Yellow Steve and an Orange Steve. All of this happens in just a few seconds.

"No!" Light Steve screamed as he runs to them.

"Come on, wake up!" Sabre got to the floor and shakes the Orange Steve, but he doesn't wake up.

"Why, WHY!? You're betraying us!" Sabre shouted at the mechs, stepping away from the mechs. If he tries to attack them, they'll kill him on the spot too. Assistant Steve went to attack one of the mechs, but he scans and understands the mechs have far greater offensive and defensive capabilities. So, Assistant Steve backs off. Fluttershy meanwhile hides under the table, crying and shaking.

"Stop this now!" The Red Steve yelled at his red mech.

"You're our creations!" The Blue Steve exclaimed.

"WE ARE THE DALEKS!" The red mech shouted back.

"We aren't Demon Steves! You're to destroy demons, not us!" The Red Steve yelled.

"DALEKS DON'T TAKE ORDERS FROM INFERIOR BEINGS!" The blue mech shouted. The Doctor anticipates just as the gunstick charges up on the Dalek in the red armoured casing. Right before it fires, the Doctor holds out his sonic screwdriver, pointing at the plasma gun.

"WEAPONS MALFUNCTION." However, the Doctor couldn't respond to the one in the blue armoured casing.

"TOTAL OBLITERATION, DISINTEGRATE!" The Dalek in the blue casing fires twice and destroys the Red Steve and the Blue Steve, incinerating them. The Dalek then turns to face the Doctor, and right as it fires, Time Steve manages to anticipate. He jumps infront of the Doctor and holds his chronometer in his right hand, which absorbs the plasma bolts that came his way. Both Daleks moves backwards and turns their armoured casings, both gunsticks pointing at Time Steve.

"Uh oh," Time Steve said as he steps backwards.

"PRIORITIES CHANGING! EXTERMINATE NEW TARGET!" Both Daleks said in unison as the plasma in the gunstick builds up. Twilight teleports infront and raises a purple shield of magic, shielding herself and Time Steve from the plasma bolts. Twilight fires a beam of purple magic at the Dalek in the Red armoured casing, but the shielding dissipates that beam. Both the domes turn, with eyestalk looking into eyestalk. Everyone, while stunned out of surprise, now understand that the mechs aren't for good. The mechs have come what they needed to do.

"WITHDRAW! WITHDRAAWWW!" They yelled in unison, disappearing in a flash of white.

"What the heck just HAPPENED!?" Sabre screamed, still on the floor trying to get the 2 dead elites to wake up, still in hope. But that hope is all in vain. Meanwhile, everyone else is just shaken. The sudden betrayal of the mechs just taken everyone except the Doctor and Doctor Whooves by surprise.

"We don't have time for this!" Sabre moaned loudly out of frustration. First the Demon Steves, and then some old enemies. Now, the Daleks are involved.

"No- We have to- Apple Bloom has to wait- We need to chase after them Daleks!"

The Doctor runs inside of his Tardis, closing the doors behind him and takes off. Doctor Whooves went to do so as well, but first he turns to Sabre and Time Steve.

"Are you two coming?"

"I'd like to come too," Twilight asked Doctor Whooves.

"It'd be better off if you stay here Twilight. I know you want to fight them, but if you get destroyed- You're the leader, and Equestria needs you," Sabre responded.

"Her magic barrier thing can save us. I suggest we let Twilight come with," Time Steve suggested.

"If we're going by that- Actually, Starlight, come with us. If we get in trouble, you'll need to get ready with your abilities. Twilight must stay here to check Equestria stays safe. We don't know what the Daleks are gonna do," Sabre suggested. With that, Sabre, Time Steve and Starlight walks into the Tardis of Doctor Whooves. Then that Tardis takes off.

"What in the hay just happened!?" Rainbow Dash shouted. All of that just happened in such a short space of time.

"Bad things," Professor Red stated the obvious.

"Oooobviously!" Dark Steve snapped.

"Well what do we do now!? All of my closest guards have been destroyed, and now them mechs... or Daleks or whatever are on a rampage!" Light Steve cried, slumping as he went to sit down on the floor.

"Well we need to do something about them mechs, Daleks, or whatever they're called!" Spike yelled.

"I suggest we leave it to the Doctor. He has proven himself to contain much information on these... Daleks," Assistant Steve responded.

"I agree, we should also focus on the defense of Equestria. With them going rouge, the demons are gonna claw back at us," Shining Armour shared his input.

"I just hope they'll be okay dealing with them..." Twilight sighed, looking up into the ceiling, her thoughts being with Sabre, Time Steve, the Doctor, Doctor Whooves and Starlight. She's hopeful the Daleks will be stopped.

"Well... with them dealing with that, I... I got to bury my guards..." Light Steve wept, wiping his eyes with his right hand, looking at 2 of his guards on the floor.

"I'm here if you need, Light," Shining Armour spoke softly, giving his condolences.

"Thanks man."

Professor Red was speechless and equally as shocked, with everyone else in the room combined. The Dalek situation is being handled. So, they now have to deal with the other problem at hand and hoof. The infection. And Twilight has an idea.

"This... infection, that Sabre was talking about... I- I know somepony who may help me with that." Twilight then heads out of the gold doors of her castle.

"Demon Steves, old baddies coming back, AJ going mad, Daleks... and now an infection!? How much more is there gonna be!?" Pinkie Pie yells the air out of her lungs, then falling to the floor. Many problems are out there. It almost seems coordinated the pink earth pony thought, and it does.
