The discorded doctor
Chapter 1
Currently, the doctor and Derry were chasing after the flying mare, climbing up the side stairs of the tower. Upon reaching the top, derpy and the doctor peered through the window. Inside, the black and purple Pegasus shook off what looked like a rainbow atom blast, and she stood up again. "Foolish ponies!" She shouted, laughing. "The only thing that I could do in that wretched prison was build up an immunity to the elements of harmony. You cannot defeat me!" The six ponies before her looked shocked and surprised, especially the purple one who was monologging before. That was all the doctor needed to see as he busted into the door next to the window, a makeshift plan in mind. Derpy stalled a moment, but flew in behind the crazy colt. The mare just laughed again. "And who are you? Someone else to try and stop me? Nothing will work. Not even the elements of harmony can stop me now." The doctor, still walking, said " I do not wish to stop you, I only wish to save you from a decision no one should make in this state of mind. Of course, this is the only way I can see this working..." He said still walking. "What makes you think I need to be saved? The darkness has accepted me as its child! I need not listen to you." She said glaring. Behind him, the doctor herd derpy and the other six ponies in the room huddle up and start whispering.
The doctor kept walking. "Let me give you a test. Your mind versus mine. Think you can win dominance over my mind? If I lose, I'll leave. You lose, well, you'll find out." She looked at him curiously. She finally nodded. "Fine, I'll do the honors then." She said, preparing the spell. "No. I need physical contact to have a good, full, battle." She hesitated. Her eyes narrowed. "You know what? No. I'll just kill you here." She aimed at him, only to be struck by another rainbow to the face. Stumbling back, she looked at the ponies that had fired at her and growled. This was his chance. The doctor lunged at the now unsuspecting mare and tackled her to the ground. There temples connected for a brief second, but that was all he needed. Derpy and the others could only watch as the visible darkness seeped from the mares forehead and poured over the doctor like tar. Nightmare moon was too stunned to speak or struggle as her soul was cleansed. Once the transfer was complete, the doctor stumbled off of the new Luna. As he did so, another pony that seemed to be related to Luna walked over to her. The doctor slammed against the wall, grunting as he did so. Derpy flew over to check on him and noticed that he looked different. Not just from the darkness turning parts of his coat grey, but his eyes were slitted and held a great amount of hate. A lot of his fur stuck out in random places, giving him a disheveled look.
"Doctor?" Derpy looked questioningly at him. The doctor threw his head to look at her and snarled. "Get me back to the tardis! I need to be there when it happens." The doctor said, trying to shake off all his thoughts that weren't his. derpy slowly walked over to him and draped him across her shoulders. "Come on doctor, let's get you to that blue box of yours." She said to him. She started to walk out of the abandoned castle, but was stopped by rainbow dash. "You need help there derpy? We could help." She suggested, gesturing to the other five behind her. "Really? That would be wonderful." She said, groaning under the now sleeping doctor. Rainbow dash laughed while one of the unicorns used her magic to levitate the sleeping colt.
Walking down the road in the everfree forest, the seven girls talked over the events of the night, each finding the others story very interesting. "So he just showed up out of nowhere, called you his assistant, asked for breakfast, complained about his hooves, and ran off, expecting you to follow him on the promise that there'd be muffins?" Pinkie asked. "Basically..." Derpy mumbled. Twilight laughed at the notion. "You put yourself in danger for muffins?" Twilight asked. The others laughed and derpy shrugged. "Muffins are tasty." They all laughed again. When they approached the hill, the doctor woke up. "Why am I floating?" He mumbled. "Because I'm levitating you." Twilight replied. "Oh" he said. A few moments later, he burst out into maniacal laughter. "I'm being levitated by a purple unicorn! Oh how my human friends would gaze at me with bewilderment about now." He said, still giggling. "Anyway, I've stalled this for long enough. Get me to my tardis. I need to be with her." He said. Twilight put him down a few feet away from his tardis. He quickly opened the door, and paused. "I'll, uh, I'll be back." He said, and before derpy could say anything, he slammed the doors shut. Inside, the doctor walked over to one of the chairs that sat along the outer rail and took a Seat.
He had stalled his regeneration long enough. This was his twelfth regeneration. His final regeneration. This life lasted a bit longer than the others. It had lasted him a good five hundred years. He was starting to look his age and decided that his bones were to old. He may have looked young on the outside, but on the inside was another matter entirely. Sitting down, he slowly pulled off his bow tie and dropped it on the floor. Those that have always made him cool, now signified another one of his better selves, leaving. Again. Finally, the time came. Time. That's all that would be remembered now. Time and space, all in one expansive mind. He settled in his seat, spread out his hooves, and exploded with gold light. However, unlike his past regenerations, his transformation was taking a bit longer than what he thought. At last, his new body came, every fiber of his being, burning in the forge of fate. It tore at him relentlessly before all the pain stopped, and he felt his new body being built, as if some God had scrapped his body and started again. Finally, the transformation was complete.
Stumbling, he stood and walked down the stairs to base of the silo. "Oh my tardis... My beautiful tardis... Look what has become of me. I'm on my last string of life... I'm nearing my end. And so are you." He said walking slowly to keep his balance. He reached his walk in closet and stepped in and found a mirror. All of his body's astonished him, but this one took the cake. The first thing he realized was that he was a Pegasus. A grey Pegasus. Well, mostly. The tips of the feathers on his wings were black, as if they were gently dipped In his own shadow. His hair was short and pulled forward. This to was black. But what surprised him most was his eyes. Around the outer portion, instead of wight, it was green. Instead of brown, green, blue, or hazel, it was red and his pupils were slitted. "Doctor?"
