The Dark Night of Equestria
Chapter 9: The Liaison
Canterlot Castle:
"I do not wish to fight a war, General" Celestia said to Noble Shell.
"I understand Princess, but how can we negotiate with an enemy force we can't find?" Noble Shell asked.
"Hmmm...somepony has to know. Wait..." Celestia said and paused for a moment to think.
"What is it Princess?" Noble asked.
"There is somepony. Bring me my hoofmirror" She told a guard and he ran off to Celestia's chambers.
"What do you need that for?" Noble asked.
"You will see" Celestia said.
The guard returned with a small mirror that wash covered in diamonds and rubies. She levitated it and said, "The TARDIS"
The mirror shimmered and revealed a brown earth pony with a dark brown mane slicked back and he's wearing a black bow tie and has an hourglass cutie mark.
"Anything I can help you with, Princess?" The pony asked.
"Yes there is Doctor. I'm on the brink of a war with my sister and her Dark Nights. It seems while she was gone Dark Sword regained an army" Celestia said.
"What do you want me to do? I no longer fight wars, Princess" he said with a grimace.
"I merely wish for you to be a liaison between the two groups. We don't no where they are located specificly but they won't listen to us even if we find their base" Celestia replied.
"Okay, but what if these negotiations don't work" he asked.
"Then we will be at war. I know for a fact that you don't want a civil war to happen. Especially with your history, Doctor Whooves" Celestia said.
"Fair enough. I will see what I can do. Hopefully not getting gutted in the process" he said.
The mirror went back to normal and Celestia looked slightly relieved.
"I hope he doesn't fail" Noble Shell said and Celestia nodded in agreement.
Shortly afterwards, at the Lunar Citadel:
"Princess, where is Dark Sword? We have not seen him since he returned with the new guy" Grey Knight said.
"I know not exactly, but I believe he has gone back in time to remember his past and uncover some truth behind some new developments" Luna replied.
"Did he take any backup?" Harold Black asked.
"Originally, no. However, Sanguine persuaded the general to take him along" Luna replied.
"My brother is where!?" Twilight yelled as she ran into the room.
"Calm down Twilight. Sanguine is with General Dark Sword" Harold said.
"But where did they go?!" Twilight asked rather loudly.
"They went about one thousand and five years into the past. A few years before the Dark Age" Luna said.
"Oh jeez...I just know Sanguine will mess something up" Twilight said.
"How do your know?" Grey asked.
"He always wanted to travel in time and mess something up. Ever since he met that pony he said was named Doctor Whooves" Twilight replied.
"Your brother met The Doctor?" Luna asked with an astounded tone.
"I didn't believe in this 'Doctor Whooves' character until I found several books refering to a brown earth pony who has changed several ponies for the better and has a strange blue box' that travels through time" Twilight said.
"That's him alright" Luna said.
"He sounds rather dangerous if you ask me" Twilight said.
"The adventures he has definitely are, but he himself is a kind amd caring soul who will do what is necessary to protect anypony and everypony" Luna said.
They all sat there in silence, thinking about Doctor Whooves for a few minutes until they heard Midnight coming down the hall.
"I'm sure my mother will be delighted to see you Doctor" they heard Midnight say.
Midnight walked in closely followed by a brown earth pony with a dark brown mane amd an hourglass cutie mark.
"Speak of the devil and he shall appear" Luna said.
"You were really talking about me? Should I be honored or concerned?" the Doctor asked.
"No idea, but we were having a conversation about time travel and I remembered when you met my brother and tried to convince him to be your 'assistant'" Twilight said with an angry tone.
"Who would your brother be exactly? I have asked many ponies to travel with me but just as many have refused as have accepted" the Doctor said.
"His name is Sanguine Star, Whooves. And I have a theory as to why you wanted him" Luna said.
"Well, lets here your theory and I will confirm or deny it" he said.
"You wanted to removed Sanguine for a time until he was past the point in time where he truely started developing his skills with dark magic" Luna said.
"True, but I still let him choose. There's multiple streams that flow from any point in time and based on the choices of anypony involved in that stream of time, the outcome coulda be better or worse" Whooves said.
"Understandable, but what would that have changed?" Luna asked.
"It would have made the outcome of the war for the better" Whooves said with a sad expression.
"What do you mean by 'for the better', Doctor?" Twilight asked.
He turned his sad expression to her and said, "Much less death, tragedies, and less personal losses"
"Doctor, you must tell me! Who would be lost?" Luna asked.
"Far took many. Sanguine, Snowflake, Midnight, Twilight and her friends, and...Dark Sword" Whooves said in sadness.
"No! This can not be aloud to happen! There has to be a way to change this!" Luna yelled.
"The best way would just be to negotiate with your sister and decline the idea of war" The Doctor said.
"YOU ARE THE MOST INSANE PONY I HAVE EVER MET!" Twilight yelled at the Doctor and he looked rather startled.
"You want US to NEGOTIATE with that TYRANT?! HAHAHA, you're out of your freakin time traveling MIND!" Midnight yelled.
"I only want whats best for you mares and the rest of Equestria" Whooves said.
"Really? Than why don't you do what you're known for! Choose the side that is right amd join them! Fight for what's right and prevent this from being what you say it will be!" Luna screeched at him.
"If I did that, the whole entirety of the enemy would be anhilated, but do you know which side I would choose?" The Doctor asked.
"What does it matter! There are ways to kill even YOU, Doctor" Luna said.
"That's highly unsuggestable" Whooves said and started to back up slightly.
"Well then, we'll do this. Twilight, Midnight, Harold, and Grey, would you mind escorting our guest to the dungeons?" Luna said.
"Yeah. Now I can't find out what makes you tick" Midnight said with a devilish grin.
"Lets not be rash about this now. Come now, surely my good friend Dark Sword won't allow this to happen?!" Whooves said.
"Mabye he wouldn't, but he is previously engaged at the moment and won't ever know you're here" Luna said as the others took Doctot Whooves away.
"With him out of the way, we can ensure that we will win this war" Luna said.
"Princess, the TARDIS is currently in the gardens" Dusk Fang said as he came into the room.
"The situation ose already taken care of lieutenant. Thank you for the information though" Luna said and Dusk Fang nodded and walked out.
"At last we shall finish what we started one thousand years ago. The Lunar Republic shall take control of Equestria" Luna muttered to herself.
Suddenly, a dark vapor spread throughout the room and Princess Luna stood up. With a devilish grin on her face, she charged her horn and the vapor was pulled into it.
When all the vapor was gone, Luna shot out a black bolt of lightning that arked around and hit her directly in the back of the head and she fell to the floor.
When she stood up, she has dark blue armor on. Her horn had become longer, sharper, and more swirled like Celestia's. Her eyes had become vertical green slits that were catlike, and on her chest was a pendant that displayed a full moon.
"The Nightmare has returned! And this time, nopony will be able to stop us! Muahahaha!
(End chapter 9)
What do y'all think? Pretty awsome right?! It may have been a shorter chapter but there was a few things that needed to be said so the next few chapters after Dark Sword returns won't be confusing.
And once again I give thanks to all my good friends who donated characters! They are definitely a necessity!
