Twilight and her friends, as The Doctor's new task force, are tasked to with a rather strange and dangerous mission from The Doctor. And it seems they might have bitten off more then they could chew

Many months after finding out who the mysterious Doctor Time Turner was, Twilight and her friends had decided they wanted to help him in any way they could. However...this next assignment seems a little odd. And may even run a bit...deadly

(*I wanted both the Slice of Life tag and Adventure tag, because there's going to be some adventure later on, and plenty of every day problems)
This is my first take on a fic of this size, I'll need some feedback on this before I can start the next chapter. Please be constructive with your comments please.

Prologue

Prologue

Twilight and her friends had been called into Ponyville Park by the Doctor. It was no surprise to any of them that he was a time traveling alien after the Reaper invasion fiasco several months earlier, but his identity was to remain hidden from the rest of Ponyville, most of Ponyville was under the impression that the Doctor was really another roommate of Derpy to help her take care of Dinky.

But Twilight and her friends knew, if the Doctor needed them, it was definitely of the utmost importance. “Urgh ! What’s taking him so long ?!” Rainbow Dash blurted out

“Rainbow calm down, we’ve only been waitin here two minutes” Applejack replied “Feels like four” Rainbow retorted.

“Calm down you two, the Doctor probably has a reason for making us wait. He did mention he was bringing a visitor” Twilight interjected. But the studious unicorn did have her doubts, the Doctor was a time traveler...so what was taking him so long ?

Before everypony could start bickering a familiar whooshing sound was heard, they all turned to see where it was coming from, and it was, indeed coming from right behind them. The TARDIS finally materialized and the Doctor stepped out and adjusted his top hat. “Ah, nothing like some good ol’ fashion Ponyville air to clear out your sinuses, bit of a nice change in scenery from the Danville suburbs” he said after taking a whiff from the air.

“Doctor !” Rainbow Dash called out as she zoomed up and hugged him to the ground “Ah, Rainbow Dash, it’s good to see you too, but can you please let me up, you’re hurting me” the Doctor said.

“Oh, sorry, it’s just we haven’t seen you in a while” Rainbow Dash said in her usual hovering manner. The Doctor’s top hat fallen off when Rainbow had taken him down to the ground, Rarity took notice of that and picked it up “Here’s your hat darling” she said levitating his hat.

“Thank you Rarity. Now, I’m so glad to see my girls, but I’m here on business and time is of the essence” the Doctor said “What’cha ya need Doc ?” Applejack asked.

“Applejack, we’ve been over this a hundred times. I’m the Doctor, and you’re not Bugs Bunny. Anyhoo...Derpy would you please be a dear and bring him out ?”

Inside the TARDIS an engine starting up was heard and out came Derpy riding a Moped with a cryo pod on a small flatbed. She took off her helmet as she got off the bike “Derpy, what have I told you about using things you find lying around in the TARDIS without asking ?” the Doctor said “I didn’t just see this today, I’ve walked by it so many times, I thought ‘What’s the point of having a scooter if you’re not gonna use it’” Derpy replied “Just...don’t touch my goodies without asking me in the future” the Doctor said.

The girls all gathered around to watch. The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver and removed the cryo pod from the Moped, inside said cryo pod was a gray pegasus with a black mane and tail, and a slight stubble on his muzzle, he also seemed to be wearing a black bowtie. But most remarkable to note was his cutie mark...an hourglass just like the Doctor’s cutie mark.

“Who’s this ? He looks just like you if you were a grumpy pants” Pinkie Pie said “How can you come to that conclusion from appearance alone ? And what’s with you and trousers Pinkie ? You ponies don’t even wear them that much. But now I’m just delaying the inevitable...this...is Discordance...my older brother...” there was silence for a brief moment “...What ? No ‘dun dun dun’ no shocked gasps or anything ?”

“We don’t know all that much about you Doctor, it probably stands to reason that you could have siblings we don’t know about” Twilight said “Wow Twi, you must be really fun at parties, anyway, yes this is my brother, he’s as his name implies, very discordant. We picked him in the 51st century when he was causing some ruckus in the Cyber Fleet, Derpy and I were just passing by when I got a message on the psychic paper from one: Lieutenant Commander Amelia Johnson of the SSV Commander Flynn, she called us because she had a problem with the Cyberiad” the Doctor continued.

“And what might that be darling ?” Rarity asked.

“There was a new type of Cyber-unit called the Cyberponies, and they figured that he’d know how to stop them, how they came to that conclusion I have no idea, but I won’t question Commander Johnson’s judgment, she’s got a lot to prove...famous ancestor and all”

“And who might that be ?” Rainbow Dash questioned “Spoilers my dear, but you did work with her for a while” the Doctor said.

“Anyhoo, I need you girls to reform him, he needs to be fully cooperative if he’s going to help us, and you are free to use any methods you deem necessary. But I’d recommend that you keep him under watch at all times, and keep him away from open flames and pregnant mares” the Doctor added.

“Awww, why those two things ?” Pinkie said, her ears drooping downward. “You don’t want to know, Time Lords are very...sort of..hypnotic if you will, and I don’t want his hypnosis used for evil”

“So you think we can reform this...basically ticking time bomb, for someone who hasn’t even been born yet, while you go do something else” Twilight began in her usual difficult to adjust tone (Read as freaking out) “I do, and I hold great faith in..you Fluttershy” the Doctor replied suddenly coming up behind Fluttershy and putting a compassionate hoof on her shoulder “Me ?! Why do think I’ll be able to help ?” Fluttershy replied almost immediately.

“Because you have a compassionate and kind heart, I think you’ll be able to rub off on him”

“Why would you want to rub your brother with Fluttershy ?” Pinkie Pie blurted out, the Doctor chuckled “Pinkie, it’s just an expression” “Ohhhhh, but still why would you want to rub somepony with somepony else”

After a moment of awkward silence, the Doctor cleared his throat “Anyhoo, I have to be off in a moment, Derpy and I were called on a mission by my good friend Ood Sigma, he has relevant information about ‘The DoctorDonna’ and I am not going to pass that opportunity up”

“I see, I sure hope you know what you’re doing” Twilight said “I do too” the Doctor replied. After a moment, Derpy called the Doctor back into the TARDIS because she wanted to get to their assignment quickly “Come on Doctor ! Ood Sidjma told me how beautiful the Ood Sphere is, and I’d like to see it” she called out.

“I’m coming, one second, I’d like to make sure they’re all still alive when I get back...and he’s called Ood Sigma, Sigma. Anyhoo girls, I’ll give you this activator, you can release Discordance when you’re ready. As for me...Cowabunga, I’m off” the Doctor said as he began to swagger off back to the TARDIS.
“Wait” Rarity called out “You see, I’ve kissed a lot of ponies in my time...”
“And you’ve never kissed a Time Lord before”
“Yes, and I kind of...wanted to”

The Doctor put a hoof to Rarity’s chin and then kissed her passionately. The kiss lasted for a brief time before the Doctor broke it and left “Like I said before...Cowabunga” he said as he went back for the TARDIS.

“He always says that” Twilight said to her friends to quell there suspicions on what the Time Lord pony just said, they still all acted confused “What ? It’s his new catchphrase, y’know, every time he changes, so does his catchphrase. Like he used to say Allons-y, then Geronimo. And not to long ago he said Avante”

“Ohhhhhhh” the others said simultaneously. The TARDIS dematerialized and left the area and time, leaving Twilight and her friends to the task at hoof.

“So, we’ve all wanted to see another Time Lord, and now we have another one right here” Rainbow Dash said to break the awkward silence. “Yeah, but the Doc said this guy is wakko” Applejack retorted.

“Why would he have said something like that about his own brother ?” Fluttershy questioned “I guess we’re going to find out” Twilight said holding up the activator “Wait ! You mustn't...if the Doctor spoke so lowly of him, I think we should wait a little while” Rarity chimed in.
“But he’s needed, you heard the Doctor. And the sooner we start the sooner we finish” Twilight said. The others nodded in complement. Twilight hit the button on the activator, a frosty mist began to emanate from the cryopod as the pony inside began to awaken and stir about.

All of the group stepped back instinctively, Spike had to be nudged by Twilight before he saw how dangerous the situation possibly was. The Time Lord/pony inside the cryopod quickly opened his eyes in shock, he looked around and saw where he was, he pounded his front hooves onto the inside of the pod as hard as he could. Fluttershy crouched behind Rarity while they both quivered in fear, Rainbow Dash cracked her neck from side to side, Applejack gulped and adjusted her hat.

The pounding continued harder than before, the plexiglass on the pod started to crack. “Hey Twilight, I bet you’re starting to regret wanting to wake him up huh ?” Spike quipped. Before Twilight could scold him, the top of the cryopod flew off. The pounding menace was finally free, he stood up slowly.

“Everypony just wait, he’s just woken up from cryogenic hibernation. So he’s a little confused, nopony bombard him with words yet” Twilight said. Discordance’s deep blue eyes focused on Twilight, his wings shot up and he launched himself at the lavender unicorn.

Everything happened so fast, Twilight couldn’t get her bearings of anything for a brief moment, as they both tumbled backward, she was able to see what had happened once she felt her back hit the dirt, Twilight looked up and saw Discordance standing atop her pinning her to the ground with his surprisingly strong hooves, and he also had a hoof to her throat.

“Gdzie do cholery jestem ?!” Twilight heard boom from above her “Kim do cholery jesteś ?!” the same voice said, it had come from Discordance, who sounded very much like his brother...although more intimidating and it sounded like he had been smoking for a good part of his life.

Twilight murmured something barely audible “Co ? Discordance asked “You’re hurting her !!!” Rainbow Dash yelled.

Discordance almost immediately got off Twilight “Oh, you guys speak english I was going to cycle though about seventy different languages to see what you spoke” Discordance said. He stopped to look around at where he was.

“So you guys are the mother fuckers my brother thinks can reform me”

“How did you know ?” Twilight asked, Discordance shoved his face really close to Twilight’s “Before they shoved me into the cryopod I was able to key into my brother’s biometrical signal with my little buddy here...” he pulled his sonic screwdriver from under his wing “...but since I only had seconds to act, I could only hear my brother, and no one else, so it did get a little agonizingly annoying and...the slightest bit unbearable”

“So, you think we can’t do it ?!” Rainbow Dash snapped, Discordance brought himself closer to Rainbow “Y’know that little attitude of yours doesn’t scare me in the slightest. I’ve killed things more frightening than you and barely batted an eyelash” he said in a very dark tone causing Rainbow Dash to recoil for a brief moment.

“He’s just trying to scare you, he’s a Time Lord, he wouldn’t dare do something to change the future” Twilight stated matter-of-factly “Oh, you must be the famed Twilight Sparkle, the pony who makes everything better almost on the level with my brother” Discordance began while swaggering up to Twilight “...You’re shorter than I expected, and I was also expecting someone of your reputation to be a little older”

Twilight tried to not flinch, as Discordance was within inches of her face, and his breath reeked of alcohol and cryo-gel, but she was able to keep somewhat of a straight face “The Doctor told us very little about you, so why don’t you tell us about yourself ?” she asked.

“Oh you don’t give a shit, but I’ll humor you, I’ve been wandering aimlessly for over a thousand years, and a little while ago I was captured by my brother and put here” Discordance responded showing clear signs of disinterest in his voice.

“Ah think she meant without lyin’ yer way through it” Applejack blurted out “Oh fine ! You were all better off not knowing. But still...” Discordance felt his legs start to wobble like he was about to fall over “...Uhh...how long was I in cryo ?” he asked in a hushed tone with increasing concern.

Rainbow Dash had landed over by the cryopod and had began to inspect it “Looks like it stopped counting at 9999 or something like that” she said “Oh God ! I was out to long, and my body thinks I regenerated...and that it’s not finished regenerating...I need to rest RIGHT NOW !! Or my body will think my regeneration failed” Discordance said clutching a hoof to one of his hearts.

Fluttershy rushed over to help him “We need to get him back to my cottage, I’ve got some herbal medicine that might help” she said trying to help Discordance to his hooves. The others were slow to help, as Discordance was a mad stallion they just met after all.

***

At Fluttershy’s cottage, the group had set Discordance down on her couch. Twilight was discussing what to do with their new guest for the time being. “I’m not saying we leave him cold turkey, but we can’t stay too close to him, he might get wise” Twilight said.

“I agree to some extent, he does seem like he could be dangerous, but he also seems like he also can’t be bothered to do anything against us” Rarity said “I think that one of us should watch him at all times” Rainbow Dash chimed in.

“Good idea Rainbow, Ah agree, should we take shifts watchin him or somethin ?” Applejack asked.

“I volunteer” Fluttershy had come back from the couch-side, she was finished tending to her patient “Fluttershy ? But why ?!” Rainbow Dash asked.

“My conscience won’t let me leave him, and I think I should look after him. Like, you guys can have small shifts with him, but he’ll stay here with me” Fluttershy said “Okay, if you think you can handle him, If he even looks at you funny, I want you to call me immediately” Twilight said putting two hooves on Fluttershy’s shoulders.

Meanwhile over on the couch Discordance was still supposedly unconscious. Angel hopped up onto him to try and move him from his spot, Discordance tried to bat him off “Fuck off, you little rat !” he whispered. Angel let out few odd squeaking noises “Of course I’m faking it, I need your owner, she can help me a great deal” Discordance responded.

Angel was confused, he let out a few chatters.

“Yeah, I can understand you. I speak every language...well, I don’t speak bunny, but I do speak groundhog and I can basically work with that” Discordance went on “And I need her trust me if I’m to get anything done. So fuck off”

Angel jumped down and scampered off and shook his paw at the time lord pony on the couch. Twilight and the others had just left, Fluttershy had assured them she’d be alright, Discordance rolled over on the couch and groaned to try and continue his farce.

“Oh, are you awake ?”

“Sort of. I feel sick to my stomach, and I’ve got a killer migraine, it’s not from the cryo, I didn’t start feeling it until I was staring at the pink one” Discordance rubbed his temples “Did you mean Pinkie Pie, what’s wrong with her ?”

“Nothing’s really wrong with her. She just...feels wrong, like there’s something wrong with the universe and she’s at the centre of it” Discordance said “Oh, that actually, kinda, makes sense to me” Fluttershy replied.

“Okay good, I didn’t feel like explaining it. Do you have a phone I could use like a landline or mobile I could use ?”

“What for ?”

“To order a pizza, I’m starving. And plus I figure Twilight’s going to hound me about something like this, so I figure I could test out my social skills” Discordance said in a mockery like tone.

“Okay, but don’t take to long I’m expecting a call from my cousin Heavy Lifter in Manehattan, he just got a new job as a dock worker there” Fluttershy said passing him her house phone “Oh, my. I’ll be right back, I think one of my new ferrets just got into a food stash I have in my room” she said before bolting upstairs and down the hall.

“Okay, I’ll let you know if you’re cousin calls” Discordance began to dial on the phone, he then held it up to his ear.

“Hello ?”

“Reggie, it’s time, get your ass to Equestria, I’ve got a plan to execute and I’m not sure which one we’re gonna use, but you need to get to one of our hideouts here, and yes we have one, just drop one of my old names”

“Discordance, oh God ! I thought you were...”
“Dead ?”
“Uhhhhh...no canadian”

Discordance shifted his sitting position “You don’t sound all that happy to hear from me, you might make me cry, you’re hurting my feelings. And when you hurt my feelings I hurt you !” he said suddenly snapping in the middle.

“No, no it’s not that...uhh...I was just...not expecting to hear from you, and you caught me off guard...how do you want me to get to Equestria ?”
“I don’t know, I think there’s a public use portal in Danville or something, and there might be one in London”
“You got it boss...and it’s uhhhh...good to hear from you”

“Oh kiss my ass when you get here, Discordance out”
And with that he tossed the phone across the couch “Uhhh...well, that was pointless” he said loudly in order for Fluttershy to hear him “What ? What’s wrong ?” Fluttershy said coming back into the room “I couldn’t get them to deliver, we need to go pick it up” Discordance replied.

“Okay, maybe they just know the number and don’t want to deliver after last time” Fluttershy said “What happened last time ?”
“They said I was to quiet to hear, and they didn’t want me wasting their time” “Well let’s go down there and show them what you think of that, plus I haven’t beaten the shit out of anyone in a really long time”
Discordance immediately hopped off the couch and adjusted his bowtie, Fluttershy reached out a hoof to try and stop him “Please don’t, the owner’s in a wheelchair” she said.
“But why should I treat him any different than other people” Discordance said swatting away Fluttershy’s hoof.

“I’m just asking you not to hurt him please...he’s okay with me picking up things there, it’s just on the phone I get nervous, I just can’t help it” Fluttershy said practically whimpering, Discordance stopped and grumbled “Oh fine, beating the holy hell out of someone can wait until another time” he muttered.

“Oh thank you. But we can still drive up there to get food...y’know if that’s okay with you” the yellow mare said “Wait...drive ?! You ponies have cars ?!” Discordance asked completely astonished...the first genuine sounding thing he had said in his short time in Equestria “Not really, ours are called carriages, and I have a truck” Fluttershy replied.
“Oh don’t tell me you’ve got a shitty pickup truck”

***
“You’ve got a shitty pickup truck” Discordance face-hoofed. Fluttershy did indeed own a pickup truck, it was the same color as her coat, with a double pin stripe down the middle the same color as her mane.
“That’s not very nice” Fluttershy said sounding slightly offended “I am not nice ! Wow kind of sounded like Skeletor for a second there, but yeah I’m not a nice person incase you couldn’t notice that. Not like you could, seeing as you honestly think you reform me” Discordance said bluntly.

Fluttershy seemingly ignored the reformation comment and unlocked her truck, Discordance got into the passenger side “I’m not really trying to reform you, I’m just going to try to be nice to you, because I want to be your friend” Fluttershy said starting up the truck.

Discordance was silent after that, he had no idea how to respond to it. After a few minutes of driving he spoke up “I’ve never had a proper friend before, I mean I’ve had comrades, and partners...but never just a regular old proper friend, I’m not sure how to take this”

After that the two sat in silence, Fluttershy focused on driving, and Discordance sat contemplating
Y’know what...I kind of like you Miss Fluttershy, if my plan has to come to fruition I don’t want to have to do anything to you. And if I end up ruling Equestria, you shall receive a charming gift basket he thought to himself.

The duo in the truck rode off into the distance. And Discordance would have a lot of odd thing ahead of him.

Author's Note

This is my first time that I'm uploading a fic that's not script-style or POV, so leave a comment. If you liked it tell me why, and if you didn't like it tell me why. I need some constructive criticism to help me make this fic better.
Also, if anything didn't make sense, it was most likely intentional, there are a few references to my Mass Effect 3 fic (That's my biggest project and it's still not done yet)
And also Discordance himself is supposed to be shrouded in mystery almost as much so as the Doctor

And this is the Doctor I use
