[[File:doctor_whooves_and_the_harnis_by_inkwell_pony-d3b0zhr_7431.png|frame| Regeneration can sometimes be a... dodgy process]]

 

 

After witnessing a series of strange events Twilight Sparkle and friends search for answers, only to find themselves entangled in a war between two ancient races and a plot that could end all existence. Luckily, our heroes find help in the form of an eccentric brown pony with an impossible blue box.

It can be found in its entirety [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/03/story-timelords-and-terror.html here.]

 

 

* [[Adaptational Badass]]: Who would have thought anything based on [[My Little Pony]] G1 villains could be so damn ''dangerous''?!

* [[Arc Words]]: ''Méchant Loup'' {{spoiler|[[Gratuitous French|French]] for Bad Wolf}}.

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Zecora, Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity all kick a fair amount of ass.

* [[Badass Boast]]: a fairly subdued but effective one from The Doctor.

* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Twilight Sparkle, oh so much.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Twilight has a couple of these throughout the story.

** Typically involving a [[Berserk Button]] called 'The Doctor'.

* [[Casual Danger Dialogue]]: Twilight Sparkle has this memorable exchange with [[Eldritch Abomination|The]] [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form|S'Müz.]]

Twilight: "Quite." }}

* [[Chick Magnet]]: Ten has a reputation for it, but it's taken up a level here when almost everypony has a [[Ship Tease]] with him.

** [[Girl Genius|Any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from science!!]]

* [[Continuity Nod]]: When the Doctor wakes up in chapter two, he comments that his situation (he tastes embalming fluid, he's in a random, unknown hospital, and has no idea where he is) is just like his eighth regeneration. When he regenerated into his eighth form, he had just died from a botched operation to save his life and was presumed dead, and was placed in the hospital Morgue.

* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Zecora especially gets this during her first encounter with the Carrionites. Applejack and Rainbow Dash also qualify.

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The S’Müz is referred to directly as such.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Draggle, the only Carrionite to actually see the S’Müz for the [[Omnicidal Maniac|indiscriminate]] [[Ultimate Evil]] that it is.}}

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Zecora. [[Unexplained Recovery|She gets better]].}}

** Also, {{spoiler|the Hervoken Commander. [[Killed Off for Real|He doesn't get better]].}}

* [[Magitek]]: Twilight's computers run on magic crystals.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Each of the Mane 6, {{spoiler|after The Doctor steps in on Twilight's [[Punctuated Pounding]] on Draggle}}. He doesn't want any of them [[Be All My Sins Remembered|to become like him]].

* [[Nerves of Steel]]: Rarity takes being thrust into a life-or-death adventure surprisingly well.

** Fitting, Rarity has displayed grace under pressure in the show being a fashion designer and all.

* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: Twilight and the Doctor get into this situation due to a mishap involving Twilight's Element of Harmony.

* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: Twilight gives a horrific one to {{spoiler|Draggle}}, ignoring her frantic pleas to stop. It takes The Doctor's intervention to keep Twilight from killing her.

** Pretty safe to assume that every reader pretty much went [[Oh Crap]] {{spoiler|when the '''Doctor''' was [[Killed Mid-Sentence]]. [[Unexplained Recovery|He gets better]], though.}}

*** Not to mention a smaller one when learning (through here or the fan fic itself) that {{spoiler|the S’Müz is in simplest terms a [[Eldritch Abomination|Cthulu-Smooze]].}}

* [[Reverse Polarity]]: Name-dropped, [[Continuity Nod|natch]]. {{spoiler|Later used to destroy the [[Life Energy]]-gobbling S’Müz by pulling the energy ''back out'' through the Elements of Harmony}}.

* [[Shout-Out]]: A double whammy for both Whovians and Bronies alike!

*** The Hervoken are an even more obscure reference. They and their war with the Carrionites originate in the Tenth Doctor novel ''Forever Autumn''.

** The S’Müz is a [[Darker and Edgier]] take on the Smooze.

** [[Word of God]] states that this incarnation of the S’Müz is based off [[Mass Effect|Sovereign]]. Compare the speech pattern of the S’Müz to Sovereign [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvrIFIjTGt0 here].

* [[Summoning Artifact]]: The Hervoken charm cube.

* [[Ultimate Evil]]: Again, The S’Müz. It has no reason to destroy the multiverse beyond spite, it's simply ''offended'' by the rest of reality.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|The S’Müz pretty much ''freaks'' when the ponies start stealing its PKE.}}
