Chapter 1: The Waking Ally

=Gaia, Equestria, Canterlot Mountain, Canterlot, The Entrance to the City of Canterlot, 1003 C.E. =

The mare, who had a silvery blue mane and a light blue coat, with the cutie mark of a wand in front of the shape of the moon, made a run for an oncoming train and jumped on to it, looking to see that nopony had seen her get on. She hoped to be able to stay on the train like this until she got up in to Canterlot. It was certainly cold out with it snowing and all, and she wasn't keen on walking through it like this.

She looked over to see the entrance to the city of Canterlot. Luckily, Canterlot wasn't in any kind of emergency situation, so there no guards posted outside that would see her on the train. But just in case she tried to flatten herself against the hook between cars. The train went through in to the city, and she jumped off and went in to the train station to get warm as quickly as possible. Little did she know, she would come across two groups of ponies that were on that train that weren't supposed to be there either.

=Gaia, Equestria, The Fields Between Ponyville and Canterlot Mountain, The Doctor's TARDIS, TARDIS Console Room, 1003 C.E. =

The Doctor suddenly woke up to find he was alive and well, and once again, he had survived the crash of the TARDIS, and the TARDIS itself had as well. He walked over and shook Daring Do and Romana awake.

"Is everyone all right?" Romana asked just to make sure of such.

"Yes, I'm fine. But where did we end up landing?" Daring Do asked, rather worried.

"We're still on the correct planet. But when I don't know. It'll be a while before the TARDIS can take off again, so we might as well take a check and look to see where we are." The Doctor said as he walked out of the TARDIS and looked upwards.

"Well, what can you see where we are?" Daring Do asked.

"Well, there's Canterlot way up there." The Doctor pointed out.

Daring Do walked out and saw that they were indeed at the very bottom of the mountain that Canterlot was built on top of. "Oh great. How are we planning to get all the way up there?" she said, knowing that's what the Doctor had in mind.

"We could try that." The Doctor said as he pointed out a train that was now starting to go up the mountain. Come on, Romana!" he said quickly.

And before they even knew it, The Doctor, Romana, and Daring Do were running for their lives until they could jump p and land on the back of the train.

"Are you sure this is such a good idea, Doctor?" Romana asked after they had jumped on the back of the train.

"Pretty sure." The Doctor answered rather simply as the train continued forward.

They didn't truly notice as a light blue colored mare jumped on to the train.

As the train pulled up tough the city entrance, they too got off as quickly as possible and ran in to the train station. The Doctor noted it was rather old fashioned, as he was absolutely certain that they had yet to mass produce electricity to use as power.

Which, all in all, greatly annoyed the Doctor as he walked through the crowd, which was surprisingly small considering that this was the capitol city of Equestria. He noted that there was a small snack shop over in the corner, but only because he liked noting things, not because he was hungry or anything like that. He wasn't too worried about seeing his companions go off and do their own thing. He wasn't going to rush them and was going to allow them to do their own thing. They were individual…well, ponies he supposed.

Daring Do walked over and saw that a light blue mare was getting up on to and upturned box. She had a rather bad feeling about the nature of why this mare was getting up on to said box.

"I…am…the Great and Powerful…TRIXIE!" she yelled out, making it so everypony could hear.

Daring Do wondered if this mare was just crazy or using a really pathetic scam to get some form of money. She saw that the mare had written 'Donations needed' on the box. In that case, she was both.

"Do you have any proof that you're Great and Powerful?" asked somepony in the crowd.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie demands to know who asked such a question!" The mare, who was apparently named Trixie yelled out in an incredibly overdramatic and theatrical voice. Daring Do could tell she would go crazy if she had to listen to for 10 minutes longer, but she wanted to know who said it as well.

"As a matter of fact, it was me that said it." Said the speaker as he came forward. He was a stallion with a gray coat and a dark orange mane, his cutie mark obscured by the jacket he was wearing due to it being January and snowing out.

"How rude of you to insult the Great and Powerful Trixie!" Trixie shouted.

"I wasn't insulting you. Only someone not Great and Powerful would assume as fast as that."

"HOW DARE YOU!" Trixie shouted.

Daring Do just left and walked as far out of earshot as she could after that.

Romana was nearby, looking out the window. She wasn't really interested in anything left to do around the train station. She was also frustrated by the lack of even primitive devices. Then she saw something very worrying out the window indeed.

Small bullets that had been fired at long range were striking the mountain at an angle and with the level of force so that it would rock slide directly on top of the station the were in and no where else.

"Doctor! Doctor!" Romana yelled as she ran over to the Doctor.

"What is it, Romana?" The Doctor asked her.

Romana didn't even have time to say it before the dangerous rumble of the rockslide signified hat it was crashing towards them at dangerous speed as it began to pile over the station and over the doors, trapping them in.

Naturally there was great panic, and this wasn't a good mix with a crowd. Some wildly pushed at the doors, and others simply ran in circles.

Then the Doctor heard a clanging noise on the other side of the rocks. "Ah, that's good. Someone's digging us out already." He said.

Then the clanging changed into a ticking noise. His eyes widened as he realized what that actually meant. "Get away from the door!" he yelled to those pounding at the door.

Not many listened, but some got away as a powerful explosion knocked away the rocks in front of the door and shattered the glass of the door.

The Doctor's eyes widened even more. "Oh no!" he said simply.

"The Doc~tor is located in this room. The Doc~tor will identify or he… will be destroyed!" said a Cyberman as he and a hundred other Cybermen walked in to the room.
