Chapter 7: The Farewell

=Outer Space, In Orbit Above the Planet Gaia, Cyber Rescue Fleet 12, The Main Cyber-Ship, The Cyber-Computer Room, 1003 C.E. =

Trixie watched as the Cyber-Controller, who although its motions were kind of awkward, wasn't as super slow as later models would be, continue to lower the Cyber-Planner down towards her head, which he as certain would kill. She didn't bother trying to weasel her way out of this, knowing the Cybermen were incapable of emotions and also incapable of being persuaded. She still tried to fight her way out but the Cybermen held her down with incredible firmness.

It was then that just in time, The Doctor, Romana, and Daring Do (If you're wondering, my fingers feel fine after typing all their names!) burst their way in to the room. The Cybermen got shocked for a moment in a Cybermen sort of way, giving Trixie time to pull away from the Cyber-Planner, but then opened fire with their head guns on them. They all managed to dodge, and Daring Do dropped down to the ground. The Doctor and Romana kept dodging to give her time to get to Trixie before the Cybermen remembered what they were doing to her again.

But all of a sudden, as Daring Do crawled along the floor, she began to scream in pain, and the Cybermen simply stopped firing.

The Doctor watched in horror as the Cyber-Leader began to step down on Daring Do's wings. And the pain of it was so intense that she couldn't do anything except keep screaming.

And then the Cyber-Leader lifted his feet off of Daring Do's wings. This didn't help the pain of it anymore, as she continued to scream. As the Cyber-Planner, now with bloodied feet, walked over to the group of Cybermen, who didn't seem to care one little bit about what the others were doing, as they loaded the Cyber-Planner back on to the Cyber-Computer.

They obviously expected the Doctor to run over to the injured Daring Do, believing they understood that he knew what he was like. But in fact, he didn't. He ran over and fought his way though the crowd of Cybermen, and snapped the antenna on top of the Cyber-Planner. And this antenna was connected to the shard of the Entity that all the Cybermen had been using, so it had quite the effect.

The Cyber-Ship that was next to the one they were on forcefully exploded, causing the ship they were on to do at least six barrel rolls. After that had stopped, all the Cybermen on that ship simply fell down to the ground, dead. This was with the exception of the Cyber-Leader, and the Cyber-Controller.

But the Cyber-Leader, who did have a partial connection, fizzed and sparked as it fell down to its knees, injured but not dead.

The Cyber-Controller looked at them in a way so that even though its face was emotionless, you knew it was, in fact, absolutely murderously angry at you.

But the Doctor and his friends didn't really want to stay to find out.

They all grabbed on to Trixie. "It would be nice of you to teleport us out of here, Trixie!" The Doctor yelled.

Trixie rolled her eyes. "You know, I'm not really that good at…"

"Now!" The Doctor screamed, cutting her off.

And they all then disappeared in a flash of light.

And then, the Cyber-Leader got up to his feet.

"We will depart this dimension. Dispose of the Cyberman bodies." Said the Cyber-Controller.

The Cyber-Leader nodded and began to comply.

"Now that you have rescued me, we will rebuild." The Cyber-Controller said.

"EXCELLENT!" said the Cyber-Leader in a far too emotional and enthusiastic voice as he ship flew away.

=Gaia, Equestria, Canterlot Mountain, Canterlot, the Streets of Canterlot, 1003 C.E. =

About three days later, on January 18, after Daring Do was mostly recovered, The Doctor and Trixie were walking through the streets of Canterlot, and Trixie was talking about herself.

"So after The Great and Powerful Trixie fled Ponyville after the whole Alicorn Amulet incident, she never wanted to do a stage show again, and she never did." Finished Trixie.

"You want my advice, start doing them again. A lot less ponies will think you're crazy." The Doctor said. Then he thought of something. "Or to rephrase that, a lot less ponies will figure out that you're crazy.

Trixie just glared at him.

"And its okay to talk in the third person on stage, but please don't do it when you're actually talking to other ponies in real life." The Doctor said.

"I got it." Said Trixie.

And shortly after that, the Doctor and Trixie said their goodbyes, and the Doctor ran away through the streets until he had rushed out of sight, leaving Trixie to continue pondering about her life and where it would go after this.

=Gaia, Equestria, The Base of Canterlot Mountain, The Doctor's TARDIS, TARDIS Console Room, 1003 C.E. =

The Doctor stepped into the TARDIS and dematerialized it. He had somewhat of a sad look on his face. He looked over at Daring Do. "Well, I suppose we've got to discus about you leaving." He said.

"Leaving?" asked Romana, surprised.

"Yes, before we got caught up in all this, Daring was talking to me about leaving the TARDIS." He turned back to Daring Do. "And you haven't changed your mind, have you?"

Daring Do, whose wings were bandaged up, shook her head. "How could I have? How could I possibly have changed my mind?" she said, her voce quavering in sad anger.

"No, I suppose it wasn't possible." The Doctor said.

Romana didn't really know what to say in this kind of situation, so she stood by. This didn't mean she wasn't sad, though.

It was then that the TARDIS materialized.

"We've made it back to your home time." The Doctor said as the three of them walked out of the TARDIS.

"Good bye then." Daring Do said, unable to find any more words than that.

"Good bye." The Doctor said as Romana stepped forward.

"Good bye. I can't say I desire to change your mind, but it certainly had been nice knowing you. I hope you have a good rest of your life." Romana said, saying all the words the Doctor wanted to say.

"Good bye." Daring Do said, still at a loss.

The Doctor and Romana walked back in to he TARDIS. Daring Do was then hit by the urge to run back in and talk to them more, but then the TARDIS dematerialized.

"Dear Celestia…" Daring Do said, not quite believing she had really done it.

She pulled a paper out of the pocket on her coat. It was something she had been planning to look for, but turned down in favor of going through the Everfree Forest: The Sapphire Stone. She looked upwards towards the sky and smiled.

=The Time Vortex, The Doctor's TARDIS, TARDIS Corridors, Where Time Has No Meaning =

The Doctor led Romana through the corridors. "What are we doing now?" she asked.

The Doctor pushed her out in to the TARDIS printer room. "I'll be just a minute." He returned with the whole Daring Do book series.

"What's that for?" Romana asked.

The Doctor put the first book it the slot of a machine, and it printed out in manuscript form. "It says this book was published in 947, so let's head on to 947." He said.

"What?" Romana asked.

"We're going to make sure Daring Do is remembered. Perhaps not the way she deserves, but she will be remembered." The Doctor said.

Romana smiled.

"And once we're done, I think we ought to return to our own dimension. I'll make the dimensional rift smaller so only the TARDIS can get through, so we won't have to worry about the Cybermen again.

Then Romana said, "Well, on to the next chapter."

To be continued in Episode 9. And there will be an Episode 9.
