Hello, hello again everypony! Sorry for the short chapter and the longer wait, but i'm doing my best! :) Thank you again for the kind comments you all send, it means the universe to me! ;) So here it is, ch 5 for your reading pleasure! (even if it is shorter than normal, next one will be longer.)
"They're called Daleks." The Doctor said. "Remember what I told you, about the cracks, and how others could theoretically get through?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, these are the others. And, believe me when I say that this is not good. This is in fact very very bad." He said. His voice sounded calm, but Ditzy could tell he was fighting to make it so.
"Do they have a magic box too?" She asked.
"No, only the Timelords developed these. The Daleks must have used an emergency temporal shift, and ended up here instead. Fell through a crack in the vortex. Luckily, there's only four. But, they should be gone." He said, his frightened expression making way for one of anger.
"WHY?! WHY IS IT ALWAYS THEM. WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SURVIVE, but I'm still..." He stopped, taking a deep breath. Ditzy stepped forward, and attempted to comfort him.
"Hey, it's...it's gonna be ok. I bet you can stop them." She said.
"What makes you think that? Eh? What made you believe me? Back when you found me in the clearing?" He asked suddenly. "What made you want to follow me?" He looked up at her, into her soft golden, (slightly misaligned,) eyes. She thought for a minute, her face scrunched in concentration.
"I guess I wanted to know. I didn't want you to leave without me figuring out what you were. And i believe in you, because you're so impossible. I just know you can do impossible things." She said, her face breaking out in a grin. The Doctor offered a small smile in return. He was quiet for a moment, before jumping up and began pressing buttons on the console.
"Right then, Ms. Hooves, we'd better get to it!" He exclaimed, all traces of his outburst completely gone.
"Get to what?" The grey mare asked.
"The Daleks, we can't leave them with that much power. This universe was weakened before us, and i don't think it would survive the Daleks. I don't think even Discord knows what he's gotten himself into. The Daleks are using him as a stepping stool. Once he's outlasted his usefulness, they'll kill him. And that, quite frankly, would be a tremendous waste." He said as he pulled a lever that set the TARDIS into flight.
"So you have a plan then, yeah?" Ditzy asked.
"Ms. Hooves, i have absolutely no idea what we're going to do, whatsoever." He said, a grin on his face.
"Oh, ok then. Good to know."
"Now you're getting it." The doctor laughed. The Vwoooorp of the TARDIS filled the console room, and they took off.
