Chapter One: Another Normal Day In Ponyville (Edited)
Darkness... That was all he could see, that was all he ever saw in this dream. What it lacked in visuals it made up for tenfold in audio. He could hear so much, and he knew where each sound came from, though he could never explain how he knew. The sounds which got to him the most, however, were the screaming of foals, the crying of ponies losing their child or their special somepony, and the worst, the sounds of death. It was always here, amid that sounds of blasts striking bodies or buildings, that a set of soulless screams rang out, repeating the same word.
"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" It was always here that he would call out the same two words with anger, hate, and remorse.
"NO MORE!"
Time Turner jumped as he fell out of his bed. It was the third time this week that he had had that dream. It had originally been once every three months but ever since the coronation of Princess Twilight Sparkle it quickly grew worse. The tan stallion yawned as he trotted into the kitchen. He opened the fridge and poured himself some milk as he looked to one of the many clocks on the wall. 'In three...two...one...' A grey and blue blur slammed into a couch. He shook his head as he walked over to the mailmare, who was rubbing her head.
"Morning Derpy," he greeted with a tired smile. She looked up to him, one eye on him while the other looked away.
"Good morning Time Turner." The mare then sat straight as she used one hoof to fix her hat while she placed the other on his face.
"You had that dream again," she said sadly. The stallion pulled himself away with a frown.
"I can never hide anything from you, can I?" The clock repair pony had asked that question many times before in the first year of their friendship, since the first day when she had literally crashed into him, knocking him into the chair he set up just for her. It was at this the mailmare smiled motherly.
"Nope," he laughed as he walked back into the kitchen, pulling out something for the mailmare to eat for the morning route.
Outside Ponyville a storm-grey earth pony was pulling a cart of supplies to the town. He paused, sitting before the cart as he wiped the sweat off his brow with a bandana from his jacket pocket. A slight rustling in the bushes caught his attention.
"Hello?" the stallion called out as he stepped cautiously closer to the bush. Something jumped hissing out of the bushes as the stallion let out a terrified scream, too far from the town for anypony to hear him and help.
Time Turner was sitting before his work bench with a cuckoo clock when his door chimed, signaling that two ponies had entered his shop. He looked at the clock before him, then the many others of different designs, to see they all read the same time. This caused the clock repairer to smile as he looked to the two standing before the back room’s door frame. One of the two mares seemed to be bigger than they actually were due to the magnifying lens on his right eye. The magnified pony was a unicorn filly with grey violet fur and blonde mane, her golden eyes overflowing with happiness.
The second was a pink unicorn with a violet mane and tail with a streak similar to a lavender flower, and amethyst eyes that were looking at him amusedly.
"Hi Time Turner," the two said as they walked toward the brown stallion. He hugged the older mare first, then turned to the younger, who was bouncing around in absolute joy.
"So, whose clock are you working on today?" the pink mare inquired as she examined the cuckoo clock, the bird of the clock stuck on the outside.
"Same old same old, Pinkie somehow got cake in the clock again. What about you Sparkler? Dinky?" he asked the pink unicorn, then the grey one.
"I ran into Miss Rarity and Spike today while searching for gems; I traded her some gems she could use for her clothes for some of the flawless ones she had. It wasn't easy keeping them from the little dragon," the older one, Sparkler, replied as she pulled a few of the jewels out to illustrate her point with with a sapphire, opal, and emerald. The smaller one jumped around as she squeaked.
"Today I was with my friends playing at Apple Bloom's by the Everfree Forest when I found this on one of the trees. I think it's enchanted, different ponies see different things, Like Applejack saw a timberwolf with the word listen, and Apple Bloom saw three ponies by a candle." Dinky lifted out the scroll in question and rolled it open to reveal it's message. It held a picture of a pony with the shadow of a monster behind it. The word above it was small and it seemed to be sloppy. "What does it say for you, Turner?" The stallion barely heard the filly then smiled.
"It just told me something very silly Dinky. Say, why don't you girls go wait for your mum in shop; It's almost time for her shift to end after all and I'm sure she'd love to have you both as the first things she sees." Both shook their heads as they left to the other room. Time Turner sat before the frosting filled clock, looking through it, as the silly little paper haunted him. It wasn't the picture that got to him; it was what it said. That one simple word chilled him to the bone.
“Beware”

Doctor Whooves: The Doctor's Return
Chapter Two: The One He Could Never Fix
Time Turner sat before the clock as he swabbed the inside for perhaps the twentieth time for the last three days, satisfied to find it was now fully void of frosting and cake. He smiled around the q tip as he placed it down on the table, pushing the bird back into it's home. A smile crossed his lips as he wondered how Pinkie Pie was able to get an entire cupcake inside the clock for a second times in one year, then he laughed as he imagined a cupcake sliding into the clock, past the bird.
The tan stallion looked wistfully out the window as he sighed, he had been in ponyville for one full year now, so many strange and wonderful things have occurred in the one year, though one event happened in Canterlot, but he was still with Derpy and the girls. As he looked back It seemed anytime anything happened in the town he was with the hooves clan, even from the beginning, when Nightmare Moon returned he was given shelter by the kind mailmare, however whenever he thought of Nightmare Moon he felt an aching feeling that only seemed to get worse when Princess Luna appeared on Nightmare Night.
Time Turner shook his head, he was always unsure of why he felt like that when he had never even met the princess of the night, however there was always moments like that where he would feel something for no reason or better yet know how to do seemingly impossible actions with success. But he was used to it, whenever some pony told him he was unable to do something, he smiled proving them wrong in the simplest of ways. His smile slowly gave way to a frown as he moved his hoof slowly to the top right drawer of the desk. His arm pulled back slowly as he blankly stared at the drawers lone content. His pure blue eyes traced the marking he had seen for what felt like the millionth time of the silver watch, while his mind had no clue what these strange images meant his imagination sparked things his mind could not process but his heart felt. Joy, Wonder, Love, Satisfaction, Pain, Horror, Disgust, Sadness-
Time Turner slammed the drawer shut as sweat dripped from his brow, now free of the sea of feelings drowning him, he gasped for air running a hoof through his mane. Time Turner looked to the mirror, drawn to his eyes as he was lost, thinking of how always looking to the one watch he couldn't fix always made him see this. Old eyes, ancient eyes; The kind you would expect of a sage whose done and seen so much that the good weighed on them just as much as the bad. Eyes which appeared kind because of so much sorrow and loneliness they carried; eyes he could never recognize. Then all at once, they faded away to the pure eyes he always saw after spending time with the mares he cared for in all of Equestria. A sigh escaped his lips as he stood up. Time Turner walked out of the small room, smiling as he peered to the three sleeping forms in the main room. After ponies began to vanish the stallion talked the three into moving in with him for awhile, until the element bearers or the princesses could do something about it.
"Turner." The stallion turned to Dinky, groggily walking toward the horologists.
"Dinky, what are you doing up? you know you have school tomorrow." He whispered as he closed the gap, he carefully slide the filly on his back as he walked over to where Dinky was originally sleeping.
"I *yawn* was wondering if some of my friends could come over tomorrow and help you. We could try and get our cutie marks in *yawn* Watch repair." He smiled, looking to Dinky fighting hard to keep her eyes open. Time Turner smiled, crouching some as he slid the small filly off his back and next to her mother's legs; cuddling the small body as she slept.
"Goodnight Dinky." He whispered gently to the filly, He turned back toward the small room.
"Goodnight Daddy" His eyes grew as his body remained still. His head turned back to the sleeping mares and filly as his mind replayed the whisper, He was surprised by what she had said and while he should have been happy he sat down hanging his head low as he was crushed by the mysterious bout of agony. He tried his best to remain quiet, deciding it'd be the best to leave to his work room where no more work would be done for the rest of the night.
:Hours Earlier:
Deep in the Everfree Forest lies the castle of the royal pony sisters, three ponies sit outside glaring into the castle's foyer. The storm grey earth pony walked to the three, the black jacket on his back now bearing a wide stitch vertically down his spine.
"What have you found?" He asked three, looking up to the castle with a sneer. He hated this structure, He and his kind could not enter it due to the protective charm surrounding it. It was because of this he almost lost his prey, but luck was on his side when the earth pony tripped on a rock, no doubt of piece of rubble once a part of the castle weathered down. At any point, he was successful in catching his prey and his reward was a full belly and a new form, though detested the weakness of it's body.
One of the three turned around, The pony's coat was a light pink mare, the kind of pink that's faded on a peach before being orange. Her mane resembling very light brown cream "Brother Lasher, we found something you will find interesting." She smiled evilly keeping her eyes on the grey pony as he walked to her side then back to the open doors of the castle. Fang Lasher looked inside the castle and smiled at what his eyes saw. It was a small view of it due to the bottom part of the wall still remaining in tact but it did not make it unclear of what it was next to it. The object in question was royal blue, the same blue as princess Luna's flowing astral mane, the top having a line of white which read Police Box the words Public Call were between it one on top of the other in order. On the very top sat an empty lantern connected to the box itself.
Fang Lasher's eyes widened as he looked to his left, the other mare was a unicorn with a baby blue coat, her blonde mane tied back with a violet ribbon giving a flare to the french braid. "I scanned it with the spell, I can happily say we have indeed found a TARDIS." She cheered, looking the other over with her teal eyes. "I've checked and the time radiation is only a year old! I dare to say we may have found a Time Colt or Time Mare who survived!" She bounced in place at her declaration, the others sharing her grin.
"The last of the Time Ponies, a very rare delicacy indeed brother and sisters. And lucky for us, there's only one place they could hid." Lasher turned to lead the group to Ponyville when something caught his eyes, he turned his head to find the phantom only to see bark from the woods. leaving it as just a Timberwolf trying to move from them unnoticed he decided to let the pathetic creature live as he walked the group to the path. Unknown to them however, a lone figure watched them leave it's blank face turning back to the castle.
