All right, I'm back! But I don't know when I'll be able to update again since I'm going to Florida. If I get lucky I might be able to post a new chapter on the 21st when I get back to my actual living place. Right now I'm in Mexico visiting my family but I get a lot of time to myself here. Oh well, what are you going to do? Here's my next chapter.
Chapter 4 Trouble Over Equestria
The ponies knew that Time Turner was right. They knew it was also probably better that they didn't go outside either because they didn't know what would happen to them. They stayed there, wondering how it was possible that Discord could have broken out of his stone cell again. Then the Doctor remembered that he had tripped on his way to see the Wonderbolts in the statue garden.
Since he was full of energy from the TARDIS he probably brought him back to life. How did he not even think about what statue he had touched? He could have been ready for this, but no. He had begun getting too carless ever since he first arrived in Ponyville.
"Great! This is all my fault! I seriously am the stupidest Time Lord in this universe! Especially since I'm the only one," the Doctor thought to himself.
Lyra, Bon Bon, Rose, and Sea Swirl started freaking out and asking all of these questions that nopony could understand since they were talking over each other. Octavia looked extremely shocked. Her eyes were wide open and she wasn't moving. Minuette, Amethyst, and DJ were all looking out the window, too surprised to say anything or even acknowledge the three ponies that were freaking out. Soarin' looked over to where Spitfire was to make sure she was ok. She was fine, but she had grabbed onto the Doctor to stay upright. Derpy was slightly farther away from both of them, but she had managed to grab onto one of her tables before falling down.
The Doctor didn't even notice that Spitfire was grabbing onto him. He was too concerned in thinking of how to fix this to think of anything else. "The Elements of Harmony will defeat him!" he thought to himself, "Ya, the six ponies will fix everything just like they had done in the past."
Spitfire had just realized that she was holding onto the Doctor by the neck and let him go. He didn't even acknowledge her. She could tell that he was thinking of something. "Doctor? Are you ok?"
He realized that someone was talking to him and turned his head barley even paying attention. He just looked at her still thinking.
"Doctor! How is this possible?" Derpy asked. She flew towards him and hugged him, crying.
This time, the Doctor was forced to pay attention since he was almost thrown back. Before he could answer every picture in Derpy's house turned into a video screen that was showing the six villains.
Discord had decided to use his chaos magic to show everypony that they were in charge now, and that there was nothing anypony could do about it. He decided to use everyponies pictures to display them. Once e knew that everypony was watching, he started talking, "Greetings my little ponies! I'm sure you all remember me! And I'm sure you all remember my two new best friends," he said as he pulled Queen Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon into a hug, "One of them is like a sister to me," he said looking at Nightmare Moon, "Oh and don't worry, this isn't Luna. This is the real Nightmare Moon! Luna is locked away in a secret place just like her sister, Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, and the six ponies that can wield the Elements of Harmony which I will discontinue talking about. I just wanted to let all of you ponies know that you can sleep soundly tonight knowing that there is nothing you can do to stop us!" he heard someone cough on his right side and noticed that Trixie, Gilda, and the Diamond Dogs where standing there looking at him.
"Oh! How selfish of me. I completely forgot about the others who made this all possible too. I'd like to introduce you all to Gilda! I'm sure you a lot of you know who she is. After all, you did banish her," Discord said as he let go of the two mares and floated towards Gilda.
"That's right everypony!" she said, "I'm back and cooler than ever. I'm going to make you all pay for what you did to me! And Yes, I am referring to the ponies in Ponyville. I will be seeing you all every shortly," she said as she pounded her right hand into her left one.
"Awww, isn't that sweet? She remembers you all," he said heading over to Trixie now, "I hope you remember this one," he said as he got to Trixie and put his arm over her shoulder, "She was the greatest showpony in all of Equestria! I'd like you all to meet Trixie!"
"That's The Great and Powerful Trixie to all of you ponies who hated my show and mocked me when Twilight defeated and Ursa Minor!" she said as Discord let her go.
"And no show is complete without a couple of dogs," he said as he stood behind Spot, Rover, and Fido.
Rover was to one to speak, "Hello Equestria," he said as he waved, "We won't hurt you as long as you give us all of your gems."
"And there you have it folks. The Diamond Dogs won't hurt you if you just give up your gems. At least that's one less thing to worry about he said as he started heading back towards Nightmare and Chrysalis. "So tell me girls, what do you two plan to do?"
"Once my army has fully recovered we will hid in every corner feeding on every single ponies love for each other. Then we will become the rulers of all of Equestria!"
"Wow, you have big plans ahead of you! And you Nightmare? What will you do?"
"I am actually going to help everypony in Equestria."
Discord looked unimpressed, "Really?"
"Yes, I shall take charge of bringing the sun and moon up whenever I like. If I feel like it should be night time, then it will be night time."
"Oh my gosh, but wouldn't that ruin the balance of time?" he said smiling now.
"Exactly, it could be morning when the sun starts to set, or it could be noon when the sun starts to rise. The possibilities are endless."
"That's amazing! Give it up for the villains of Equestria everypony," he said as he made everypony clap. "Oh I just love chaos, but there's one thing that I love more than that, and I really should be getting to it right now, so until next time," he said as every picture turned back into a picture, except that they where pictures of random items instead of ponies.
"Oh that was fun," Discord said out loud, "But now I have a very important date with my ex," he said as he snapped his fingers and disappeared.
The twelve ponies in Derpy's house had been listening to everything that Discord had said. The Doctor knew that the ponies that Discord had imprisoned where possibly the only ones who could stop those villains from taking over Equestria. Which meant that he had to find them and set them free.
Right away he knew that they where underground. "Why else would then need the Diamond Dogs?" he thought to himself. This was going to be tricky. His sonic screwdriver wasn't powerful enough to search for ponies underground. Especial when they could have well been scattered all over Equestria.
He looked over to the ponies in the room. Was there any way that they could help him. He quickly calculated everything in his head.
"Ok we have the Wonderbolts. If I can find a way for my sonic screwdriver to find the ponies I'll have to be high up in the air, so they could come in handy. DJ and Octavia won't be able to help me. I don't think I'd be able to defeat any of the villains with classical music and wubs. (from the video Epic Wub Time: Musicians of Ponyville) Lyra looks like she's also in the music business so I don't think she'll be able to help me either. I know Bon Bon works at a candy store so she's also off the list for now. Sea Swirl could come in handy, if what she does is find sea animals, but that won't be too effective either since water isn't as dense and dirt. Minuette looks like she works in the time business like me so she won't be able to help, unless she's a reincarnation of me from the future which is highly improbable since I would never go back to the same place I already was at the same time. Rose works with flowers so I doubt she'll be able to help me either. Amethyst Star!
He quickly walked over to her and asked her, "What is it you do for a living?"
Amethyst was slightly surprised by this, considering what was going on outside, "I map out stars."
"So you actually have to find then first?" he asked getting excited.
"Well, yes. That's my special power. I can find any star in the universe," she said wondering why he needed to know this.
"This could work!" he said retrieving his screwdriver. Everypony in the room looked at him confused. He noticed this and told them, "Amethyst Star can find any star from far away; well maybe she can find things that are not so far away too. It might not work because she's not used to searching through objects, but with my sonic screwdriver I think I will be able to locate the ten ponies," he said finishing.
Everypony understood now, "But how do you know they are underground?" Rose asked.
"Well what else would they need the Diamond Dogs for? The only things the Diamond Dogs want are gems. They don't want revenge like the other five, but on a more important note I'm going to need some pegasus to fly me and Amethyst in the air so we can scan Equestria and find the ponies."
Immediately Spitfire and Derpy said, "I can do it!" in unison.
The Doctor was slightly surprised by their outburst and knew that they were the only Pegasus in the room any way, apart from Soarin', "Well, I'm pretty sure I weigh too much for just one of you to carry me, so I think you'll both have to do it while Soarin' carries Amethyst."
Both Derpy and Spitfire where about to protest but they knew that they would end up doing it together anyway. Soarin' was completely on board with this and asked, "Ok so when are we going to go find them?"
The Doctor was surprised that somepony wanted to get started right away, "Well, Queen Chrysalis did say her army was too weak right now to take over, Discord went who knows where, Nightmare Moon is going to be busy moving the sun and moon right now, and the Diamond Dogs are more than less likely getting gems from all the ponies in Equestria, so I think right now would be the best time."
Without wasting any more time Soarin' grabbed Amethyst and Derpy with Spitfire grabbed the Doctor from his right and left, and they headed out into what was now complete chaos.
Princess Celestia was sitting with her head down. She had the smallest of tears rolling down her face. Then she heard a strange pop and Discord was right outside her cell. She waited for him to say something first.
"Ohh, why've a long face Celestia?" then he started laughing. Celestia just looked at him, "Oh come on now. I'm trying to lighten up your mood Tie."
Celestia looked up into his eyes now remembering the nickname he had given her. To this day the only other pony to call her that was Luna. Memories started flooding back in and she had to look away from him so she wouldn't cry.
"Oh for crying out loud Celestia just say something to me," Discord said starting to lose his patients.
Celestia looked and spoke to him with watery eyes, "Why are you doing this?"
This surprised Discord, Princess Celestia was the toughest pony he had ever met, which meant he had never seen her cry before, "Woe, Celestia, are you crying?" he said as he opened the cage and closed it behind him. He wrapped his arms around her while she actually started crying this time. "I know you wish I would have turned out different, but I just got so lost in the power I held, and still do, but after all of this, you will finally see who I turned out to be."
"You will never make it up to me. Not after what you just did," she said still sobbing slightly.
"We'll see, but for now I just want you to know that I still love you, and will always love you," he said as he leaned in to kiss her.
Celestia kept thinking, "Don't let him kiss you! He's the bad guy who imprisoned you and your sister in this underground maze of tunnels, but she didn't move and let him do it. Once his lips were on hers she couldn't help but close her eyes to savor the moment. She hadn't kissed him in more than a thousand years, but it was still exactly as she remembered it. She could feel the slight pressure of his fang on her lips, which she had always loved.
The moment was cut short as they could hear some Diamond Dogs heading in the direction were the cell was. He backed up and said, "Don't worry," as he put his key through the key hole opened the door, stepped out, and closed it again behind him.
Princess Celestia was slightly confused, "Don't worry about what?" she asked before he was out of ear shot.
"About anything," he said not even looking back.
Celestia didn't understand this Draconequus. "Why is he being this way?" she thought to herself, "Is he just doing all of this to trick me? But why would he need to trick me? I'm already locked up," she sighed, "Why am I so weak?" she asked herself.
The Doctor, Spitfire, Derpy, Amethyst, and Soarin' were high enough so see a lot of Equestria. The Doctor pointed his sonic screwdriver at Amethyst horn and then the tunnels under Equestria started glowing. They could see that there were hundreds and hundreds of tunnels, which would mean that it would take them a really long time to find the 10 ponies. Found three in Ponyville, but none of them had anything in common. They were hoping to find Cadance and Shining Armor close by or Princess Celestia and princess Luna or the six ponies that can wield the Elements of Harmony, but they found Luna, still passed out, Shining Armor pretty far away from Luna, and Rainbow Dash far away from both Luna and Shining Armor, and Rarity far away from them making a square shape if you connected the ponies locations together.
"It's like they separated them by who works with whom and they even have them pretty far apart from each other," he said trying to find any other pony, but had no such luck. "Amethyst, you can remember which ways the tunnels point to right?"
She said, "Yes, that is also one of my talents, I have to remember the exact positions of the starts so I have a pretty good memory."
"Excellent, but now we have to find the other seven ponies and hope that they are not as far from each other as these ponies are," he said as he gestured the pegasus to fly towards The Everfree Forest. Once they were over the Doctor did the same thing again. They found Princess Cadance, Fluttershy, and Twilight Sparkle this time forming a triangular shape away from each other. "Ok, so we are only missing three more ponies. Let's hope that they are all in Canterlot, cause every other place is much to far," he said as the pegasus were now heading to Canterlot.
This time they found Princess Celestia, makes sense that she still in Canterlot, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie in the same triangular shape that the last three ponies where in. "Ok, this is going to be challenge but I think we will be able to break everypony out, but we are going to need the other ponies in Derpies house to do it," he said as Derpy, Spitfire, and Soarin' all headed back to Poniyville.
The reason for why Soarin', Spitfire, and Derpy hadn't said anything was because they were too afraid that if they did they would have dropped one of them. Spitfire, Derpy, and Soarin' were all panting when they finally got to Derpy's house. They didn't say it but they were extremely relived that they didn't have to hold them up any longer.
Queen Chrysalis's army was almost ready to take over. The Queen would lead them into victory this time without fail, but before she could do that she decided to pay a little visit to an old friend of hers.
Once she got to Cadance's cell she could help but laugh at the fact that she was weeping from being away from her love. "Aww, isn't that sweet?" she said teasing the pony.
"Let me out of this cell! I defeated you once I can and will defeat you again," she said with anger.
"Ah, but of course you can, but not without Shining Armor. Why do you think we separated you two? We can't risk you two sharing another spell together."
"It's cause your weak." This made the Queen really mad.
"You don't know the powers me and my children posses. I would have defeated you if they hadn't of been knocking on your stupid husbands shield," now this made Cadance mad.
"He's not stupid! He's the greatest stallion in all of Equestria, and once we escape from these cells we will defeat you, but this time for good."
"Oh, it's sweet that you think love conquers all, but you are living in a fairytale," she said as she started walking away.
Cadance knew that she was right. There was no way she could break out of this cage without any help, but who was left to help her. She knew that Twilight and her friends and the princess sisters were also trapped. How were they going to get out of this one?
