CHAPTER THREE

Trouble in Equestria, Part 2

As far as their eyes could see, Daleks, Cybermen and Weeping Angels were popping up all over Canterlot, but the Doctor and the Mane Six were worried about Ponyville too, as well as the Everfree Forest and Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack couldn't bear the thought of her family being taken over by those monsters. "Those nasty monsters better not harm my family!" she raged. Rarity was fearing for Sweetie Belle's life as well as her own. "Oh Sweetie Belle! My poor little sister! I cannot let them get her!" Changelings started appearing, assuming the forms of the Doctor, Twilight, Applejack and Rarity, so they stayed behind to ward off the Changelings while Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy headed back to Ponyville and stuck together at all times. Scooterloo was running from Daleks and Cybermen all at the same time. Rainbow Dash went after them. "HEY YOU DUMBLEKS AND CYBERMANIACS! YOU STAY AWAY FROM THAT KID!" she yelled as she threw a rock at a Dalek and then shot a sonic rainboom at the Daleks and the Cybermen. At Sweet Apple Acres, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were having a hard time with Weeping Angels, as there were too many of them for three ponies to handle. Big McIntosh and Apple Bloom had one between them, fixing their eyes on them whilst Granny Smith was having trouble keeping her eyes on another Weeping Angel. Fluttershy flew around a group of Weeping Angels and fixed her enchanting stare on them as hard as it would go. Pinkie Pie was staring at four Weeping Angels at once while trying not to laugh. In the Everfree Forest, Rainbow Dash had chased away the Daleks and the Cybermen and was now facing a thousand Changeling copies of herself which annoyed her. "First Daleks and Cybermen, now this?!" She started her one-pony combat with the Changeling swarm. Punching and kicking them didn't prove effective so took to the sky, powered up and performed a sonic rainboom on them which sent them flying out of the forest. Now she found herself face to face with a Weeping Angel. She fixed her hardest stare on it and remained that way. Meanwhile, in Canterlot, the Changelings were getting the better of the Doctor, Twilight, Applejack and Rarity, having them too busy to help against Discord, Tirek, Daleks, Cybermen and Weeping Angels all at once as Princesses Celestia, Luna and Cadance tried to ward them off, and Shining Armor tried using his magic to repel a Dalek from the castle. "Let that Dalek through!" ordered Tirek" The Doctor was starting to wear thin from the fighting and could barely breathe. Rarity tried to help revive him but she couldn't. He soon regained his strength after a piece of toast. "I'm going to defend Equestria if it kills me! he vowed as he grabbed a Changeling and started bashing it against a rock. Shining Armor stepped in. "Doctor what are you doing? That won't affect anything" he said. Tirek sent a blast of dark magic which hit the Doctor, causing him to collapse due to a fatal wound he'd sustained from it. As he staggered to his feet, he looked at his hand as it glowed, as did his head. "Doctor!" exclaimed Twilight, Applejack and Rarity who rushed forward but were pulled back. "Stay away, my dears" said Princess Celestia. "I'm regenerating!" exclaimed the Doctor as he burst out with golden energy, along with Equestrian magic, which healed him enough to work as normal but he kept the same appearance as before, except one minor difference. It had caused him to obtain a Cutie Mark in the form of a picture of a clock on both his hips. Applejack was stunned. "Doctor... You got a... Cutie Mark?" she asked. "Oh yes!" replied the Doctor. "But how? You're not a pony. You're not even Equestrian" said Rarity. Twilight stepped in. "I had to use my memory spell to help him after Discord tried to turn him to the dark side" she said. "I see. You have done well, little sister" said Princess Cadance. Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash returned to find that the Doctor now bore a Cutie Mark of his own. "Does this mean we're about to see a regeneration?" asked Rainbow Dash. The Doctor didn't have time to answer before being ambushed by ten Changeling copies himself. "Not this again!" exclaimed. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy offered to help him ward them off. So they all begain fighting the Changlings which then took the forms of Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash to make it a match for them. Fluttershy gave them the stare but it prove ineffective as more Changlings had joined in, assuming the forms of Rarity, Applejack,Twilight, Shining Armor, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadance, forcing them into action as well. That was now everyone in Canterlot facing off against Changeling duplicates of themselves and each other. So it was Time Lord energy and Equestrian magic mixing together to create a force of energy so powerful that no one party alone could handle it. When it was ready, they all bonded and shot it at the opposing side, disabling several Daleks and Cybermen, breaking several Weeping Angels and completely putting several Changelings out of action, on top of turning Discord back into stone and leaving Tirek partially disabled. This left the Doctor once again struggling to maintain strength and needing to regenerate, so he got everyone to stand back as he once again burst out with both golden energy and Equestrian magic, healing him of his ailment but not changing his appearance, except another diffrence. This one giving him thicker, and longer hair. This time it was Rainbow Dash who noticed. "Doctor, you've grown longer and thicker hair! Very manelike" she pointed out. He was regenerating bit by bit, ponifying each time.
