Chapter 2: Day of Reckoning

=Gaia, Equestria, Canterlot Mountain, Canterlot, Canterlot Train Station, 1003 C.E. =

The Cybermen stood there, continuing to look around the crowd and find the Doctor. "The Doc~tor will identify himself or he…will be destroyed!" it repeated as it stepped forward to search for the Doctor more closely.

"Will you really?" The Doctor said, keeping his head down and making sure the Cybermen couldn't distinguish where in the crowd he was at.

The Cybermen simply opened fire. One of the ponies in the crowd that were near where the Doctor was dropped down dead.

A horrifying panic rushed through the crowd as they all screamed and rushed away from the body.

"Stop this now!" The Cyberman said. And for some reason, the crowd all seemed to obey and stop right in their place. The Doctor then realized that he was the only one who hadn't started running away, so there he was away from the rest of the crowd, curly hair, scarf and all for the Cybermen to see.

"The Doc~tor…is located! We have him now!" The Cybermen said as several more Cybermen walked over and grabbed him, pulling him away.

"Doctor!" both Romana and Daring Do called, but it was too late. The Cybermen dragged him out the door and shot at the rocks above, causing them all to fall down, trapping everypony else in the train station once again.

The Doctor was being dragged down the mountain until he could see their Cyber-ship landed way downwards the mountain. They led him down as the entrance to the Cyber-ship slid open ahead of them and they walked in to it with the restrained Doctor as well.

The Doctor looked around the Cyber-ship. It was pretty much the same as when he had met the Cybermen invading the Nerva Beacon and the planet Voga. He already knew that the Cybermen looked the same as back on Voga. And he wondered if…

"The Doc~tor." Said the Cyber-Leader, who still looked the same. "I was correct to bring myself onto the ship that was lowering down on to this planet."

"Indeed, Cyber-Leader?" The Doctor asked. "Why did you seal up that train station instead of killing all that are in there?"

"The sadistic state of mind is required to bring what we need to us. So we shall watch as one begins killing all the others." The Cyber-Leader said as a screen that was watching the inside of the train station turned on.

"What do you need, then?" The Doctor said, worried for his friends who were still in there.

"A powerful shard from that of the Entity. It has the charge required to open the gates of Tartarus." The Cyber- Leader said.

So as the Cybermen experiment to see who the first to murder the others would be, there was once again a panic as multiple ponies tried to claw and break their way through the rocks, but it only took all of 20 minutes for them all to realize it was hopeless and collapse to the ground ready to die there.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie is severely angered at being trapped here!" Trixie yelled.

"Well thanks for being worried about all the others." Daring Do said, rolling her eyes. Then her eyes widened as she thought of something important. "Wait just a minute! Can't you teleport out of here?" she asked Trixie.

"Don't you think Trixie has tried that already?" Trixie said. "All unicorn magic has somehow been shorted out!"

"Well that's a lot of help!" Daring Do said as she walked over to talk to Romana.

"Do you suppose the Doctor will be alright after those Cybermen took him away?" Romana asked Daring Do.

"Cybermen?" asked Daring Do, who had never heard of them.

"Oh yes, neither of us told you about them before. Well, the Cybermen were once humanoids from our dimension, but their home planet drifted out of orbit, so they added more and more robotic parts to their body until they abandoned individual personality and emotions and decided that everybody else in the universe needed to become like that." Romana explained to her.

"It doesn't sound like the Doctor would be alright with them." Daring Do said, worried.

"Its certainly hard to say as much." Romana agreed.

"Everypony, please!" Somepony said as she got up on to the box that Trixie had been standing on. Everypony turned to see that it was a mare with a white coat and a light pink mane with the cutie mark of a red cross. "I know most of you are ready to die, but I must remind you that we have at least enough air for maybe an hour and the food is right over there. Just here to remind you that we still have a chance of survival." The mare noted as she got down off the box and walked away.

"How come you were the first one to figure that out?" Romana asked the mare as she walked over to her.

"I'm a nurse at the Ponyville hospital." the mare said simply.

About 10 whole minutes later, the stallion with the gray coat and the dark orange mane came over to the place where all the food there was served. There was another posted behind it, looking at him as he walked over. "So why are you here again?" the stallion asked the pony there.

"I'm here to make sure nopony tries to take all the food for themselves." The pony said.

The stallion pulled a knife out of his pocket and slit the pony's throat. "I think it's too late for that now." He said as he jumped behind the snack stand and reared the knife.

Everypony gasped and backed away from him as he continued to rear the knife.

"Don't try to come near me!" The sadist yelled.

"Now you've got a serious mental condition. Please, drop the knife and I can help you." The nurse said as she walked forward.

The sadist responded by stabbing the nurse, he then threw the knife out in to the crowd.

"Stop!" emanated the voice of the Cyber-Leader.

And everypony in the room froze in place, and even the knife clattered to the floor after stopping in midair. Romana, being the only Time Lord in the room, was the only one that wasn't affected.

"How do you do that?" The Doctor sad as he watched everyone in the train station freeze in place.

"We did find one shard of the entity, but it was not powerful enough. We did find that when wired it in to our main ship, it had…certain effects." The Cyber-Leader said. "Now we have what we want. I will depart to retrieve it. Keep him restrained." It said as it left the ship.

The Cyber-Leader charged up the mountain until he made it in to the train station. He busted through the door as before and made his way over to the sadist.

"Excellent." It said emotionlessly as it put both his hands on the pony. Its eyes began to glow golden as the sadist screamed, golden smoke emanating from where the Cyber-Leader had put his hands.

Then the Cyber-Leader took its hands off, instead reaching them out. It found that it now had a glowing crystal in his hands. "Your purpose is now nothing." It said as it opened fire on the sadist, shooting him dead.

"I have it now." The Cyber-Leader said as he held up the shard of the Entity.
