Author's Note:
This is a Doctor-lite chapter. Doctor-lite means the Doctor won't make any appearances and will only be mentioned. Doctor-lite stories focus on Twilight's own adventures in the present time, as well as the changes the Creevix have made to Equestria's history.

Chapter 4 will continue directly where Chapter 3 finished.

Present Time, 12:50 pm

Twilight Sparkle wakes up from her sleep from reading and taking notes from the Doctor's diary. She slowly crawls out of her bed and looks at the time.

"I'm late!" Twilight gasps, she quickly grabs the diary and trots out of the door. She was late for her meeting with Princess Celestia, Luna and Cadance. Something to do with the alternate world she visited last year.

"Twilight!" Spike shouted, running for his friend. "Why are you in a rush?"

"I'm late for the meeting, Spike! I should've been there an hour ago! I overslept!" Twilight exclaimed.

Spike stops running as he notices strange noise inside the TARDIS, he stares at it out of curiousity and looks back at Twilight, she had already vanished. "Uhhh... Twilight?"

Hoofprints that leads into the TARDIS are found as well.

Since Twilight had already left, Spike instead decids to take a look what's making noise inside the TARDIS himself. The baby dragon reaches for one of the handle of the door, making a clicking sound as he opens it. Inside is empty, the noise Spike heard had ceased. Spike scans his eyes around the console room before shrugging and leaving the TARDIS.

As he turns around from the TARDIS, the noise came back, it sounds like somepony is murmuring and giggling. Spike decides to put his ears againts the doors to listen. The murmurs were gibberish. Spike opens the doors once again.

"Hello...?" Spike said nervously as he slowly enters, the doors slowly closing behind him.

He walks around the control room looking around the huge interior. The console room was different from what he saw just a second ago. Everything was all dusty, pieces of levers and buttons were scattered all over the floor, the time column is shattered and all the lights were turned off. Even the humming sound wasn't heard.

Spike pauses as soon as he heard hoofsteps, coming and closer and closer to him... Spike turns around to see a mare, covered in the shadows.

"Wh-Who's there!?"

"Hello, Spike. It's been a LONG TIME!" The mare said in a menacing and disturbing manner, the mare walks forward out of the shadows to reveal herself to be a future version of Twilight Sparkle who's body build is now similar to Princess Celestia's. She had a messy mane and a long insane grin on her face.

Twilight slowly walks towards Spike.

"T-Twilight? U-Uhhh... You sure changed alot!" Spike said with a nervous grin.

"Oh, Spike. You seem to have not changed for thousands of years!" Twilight's horn starts to glow, picking up one of the sharp metal pieces on the ground. "You never told me I could do this to you again!"

"T-Twilight! Wh-What are you doing!?" Spike is terrified, tears running down from his eyes.

"...Saving you!" Twilight grinned.

Spike quickly ran from Twilight, entering the nearby door and went deeper into the TARDIS. He found himself in the corridors, there were barely any lights and he could have a very hard time to know where he is going. Spike ran to his left, on the left, the path was straight. He kept running, hearing Twilight's giggling following him.

"Come on, Spike! This won't hurt! We don't want that happening to you, now do we?" Twilight giggled.

Spike looks behind him, he could see the glow of Twilight's horn, but it was a distance away. He took a right turn and presses his back againts the wall, hyperventilating. Spike took a peek to see if Twilight is still on his tail, he sees the glowing horn turn right. He wipes the sweat from his forehead. The door behind him opens, he walks backwards towards the door.

'Splash!'

Spike falls into the swimming pool. The loud splash echoes through the silent hallway, Twilight stopped on her tracks as soon as she heard the water.

"I hear you, Spike! Looks like you needed refreshment!" Twilight ran to the opposite direction, turns left and sees the light that came from the swimming pool room.

"Alright, bathtime's over Spike." Twilight dips her head underwater, looking around the depths. It was difficult since the swimming pool was deep and huge. Spike holds his breath as long as he could underwater, hiding behind a metal box that has conveniently fell into the water.

"So you wanna play underwater Spike? Alright! Let's play!" Twilight enters the pool herself and Spike took this to his advantage.

Spike quickly emerges from the pool and climb out of it, coughing. He ran towards the exit. Twilight couldn't hear Spike's wet footsteps.

Spike wanted to get out of the TARDIS by remembering the path he took while running through the corridors. Unfortunately, the corridors seems to have changed its pattern. Spike took a leap of faith and went straight, leaving a wet trail on the floor. He sees a door similar to the one the came in from the control room on his way. The door opens automatically as Spike approaches and enters it, however, instead of finding the control room, he found what appears to be a room filled with prison cells.

Spike wants to get out, but the door didn't open. He had no choice but to move forward since Twilight could enter the room without warning. The cells were empty, each only contained chains and a single ruined bed. Spike kept moving forward until something caught his attention. Something morbid.

He found all 5 of Twilight's friends who are dead, each in one cell. They all seemed to have died a very long time ago, since all of them are already reduced into skeletons. Spike couldn't even move anymore, he suddenly heard something move on one of the cells on the front.

Spike slowly approaches that cell, crying silently. He sees what seems to be a damaged silver cyborg that is missing certain limbs and is in the same height as he is. It slowly turns around to face Spike.

"You are compatible. You will be upgraded." Electricity starts bursting out of the silver cyborg's body, falling down onto the ground. "You will be- You will- You will be upgra-"

Spike had a look of extreme horror on his face, just staring on the cyborg as it repeats its sentences over and over again due to damage.

"You see, Spike? You know I couldn't let you become one of those Cyberponies. Same thing for my friends of course! I'm pretty sure they'd rather DIE instead of having their emotions taken away from them!" Twilight grins as she points the sharp metal on Spike's neck. "If I kill you now, it would cause a paradox and you would never become a Cyberdragon!"

The Cyberdragon's chest suddenly bursts open, damaging the emotional inhibitor device. Giving the future Spike his emotions back... Atleast for just a little while...

"Twilight... I... I can't feel my body..." The Cyberdragon whispered.

"S-Spike!?" Twilight drops the metal down to the ground, trotting towards the cell. "Spike... I'm sorry... I'm very very sorry..."

Spike quickly ran away, leaving Twilight inside the prison room. The corridors had changed again, but he was able to find his way back to the control room this time. The control room was back to its former glory. The humming sound was back and the levers and buttons are now intact. Spike came out of the TARDIS and fell to his knees, sobbing.
