________*inside the TARDIS*________

Storm was laughing as the TARDIS shook violently and the Doctor was on occasion slamming the controls with a mallet.

Vinyl was holding onto the railing as the room shook.

As the room shook Storm had coughed up more blood.

Storm cursed under his breath as the TARDIS stopped.

Vinyl walked over to Storm and sat down.

"How are you holding up?" She asked.

Storm chuckled. "Well......I've been better.......I should stop coughing up blood in a few more minutes.....then I should be fine." He replied before coughing up more blood.

Vinyl felt a pang of sadness at the sight of this and stood up.

The Doctor walked between various consoles and then he walked towards Vinyl and Storm.

"Ok here we are....Cloudsdale nineteen eighty five......can you hold it in?" The Doctor asked.

Storm coughed up more blood and sighed. "No need......just one more......and it'll stop." He replied.

Vinyl stood up. "Ok so Doctor....how are we not falling?" She asked.

The Doctor smiled as he walked over to the TARDIS doors and opened the door on his left.

Vinyl walked over to him and peeked her head outside and was shocked at what she saw.

Storm coughed and once again more blood came out......he chuckled and stood up then walked up to the Doctor and Vinyl.

"Hey what's so interesting that you both stopped." Storm asked.

Vinyl turned around and shrugged as she walked outside.

The Doctor followed Vinyl outside.

Storm walked up to the doors and looked outside.

They were in Cloudsdale alright but somehow the TARDIS was standing on the clouds......and somehow so was Vinyl and the Doctor.

Storm sighed as he walked outside and immediately recognized his surroundings.

Vinyl noticed Storm was spacing out. "Storm......are you ok?" She asked.

"Yea I'm fine......its just that I know this place." Storm replied.

Storm looked at the Doctor with confusion and then he rubbed his forehead.

"So Doctor....how are you walking on the clouds?" He asked.

The Doctor smiled. "That's simple....I recalibrated the TARDIS so it would stand on the clouds." He replied.

Storm looked under the TARDIS and saw that some concentrated air was under it he smirked. "You set it to hover didn't you?" He teased.

The Doctor sighed and Vinyl chuckled. "Yes.......yes I did." He replied.

Vinyl shook her head as she began walking. "Come on then......lets go do what we came here to do." She said.

Storm chuckled as he followed Vinyl.

The Doctor was mumbling something to himself until he realized that Storm and Vinyl walked off.

"Hey wait for me!" He called.

________*ten minutes later Cloudsdale hospital 3rd floor.*__________

Vinyl sighed as she searched the hospital....the Doctor had given her and Storm something called a perception filter......as long as she did not draw attention to herself she would be virtually invisible.

She searched through all of the rooms and found nothing.....Vinyl walked to the stairs and found Storm.

Storm waved her over. "I didn't find anything....how about you?" He asked.

Vinyl shook her head getting a disappointed sigh from Storm.

"Ok there is only one floor to go....lets check it out." Storm said walking up the stairs.

Vinyl sighed as she renewed her cloud walking spell and followed Storm.

Meanwhile the Doctor walked onto the floor and was confused as he tried to find Vinyl and Storm.

_________*five minutes later Cloudsdale hospital 4th floor*__________

Storm walked into one of the forth floor hallways and began searching rooms.

Vinyl walked off the stairs and walked towards a different hallway then Storm and started to check rooms.

Ten minutes passed and Storm had no luck so far.

Vinyl was not having any better luck and she decided to meet up with Storm.

Storm walked through the many hallways and eventually reached a lone hallway.

Vinyl walked around the corner and found Storm staring at a wall and walked over.

Meanwhile the Doctor had reached the fourth floor then turned on his sonic screwdriver and began to follow Storm's trail.

Vinyl reached Storm and put her hoof on his shoulder causing him to jump.

"Storm.....you ok?" She asked.

Storm sighed as he shook his head. "Yea I'm fine......but I found something....its down there." He replied.

Vinyl raised an eyebrow in confusion as she looked in the direction Storm was facing.

"I'm not seeing anything......its just a wall." She said.

Storm shook his head as he walked towards the hallway.

The Doctor walked around the corner and walked over to Storm and Vinyl.

Vinyl watched as Storm walked through the wall.......paper?

"What in the world?" She asked as she ran her hoof through the wall and it was indeed a fake wall.

Vinyl walked through the wall and the Doctor followed.

Storm walked through the hall and noticed there was only one door with a sign on it.

The Doctor rushed ahead and read the sign. "Keep out......employees only.....supply closet."

Vinyl and Storm caught up to the Doctor and read the sign.

"Very suspicious......they put a lot of effort into keeping anypony out of a supply closet." Vinyl said.

Storm looked at her....he then opened the door....before he entered he looked at Vinyl.

"You know....those sayings.....anypony.....everypony......somepony......those are racist." Storm said before entering the supply closet.

Vinyl was confused until she realized that Storm was correct.....she followed Storm into the closet.

The Doctor activated his sonic screwdriver and pointed it at the door.

"Oh no........Storm!....Vinyl! get out of there!" He called as he entered the room.

________*inside the supply closet.*________

As soon as Storm entered the 'supply closet' he immediately noticed that it was NOT a supply closet.....the room was dark and had many tables that were all to familiar to him.

"Experimentation tables." He said with rage.

Vinyl walked in and saw what Storm was enraged at.....she was also enraged at this.

"Come on.....lets hurry up." She told Storm.

Storm calmed himself down and started to search the room.

Vinyl sighed in relief as she pulled out her gun and searched the room.

The Doctor entered the room and had a look of panic on his face.

"Storm.....Vinyl......we have to leave....now!" He said.

Storm was not listening as he heard a crying foal.

Vinyl heard this as well and followed Storm.

The Doctor was now infuriated at this as he tried to get Vinyl and Storm's attention.

Storm walked in the direction of the crying and soon found the source.

Vinyl found the source as well and gasped.....there was a cloaked Pegasus crying foal who had noticed them.

The Pegasus did not say anything and just flew out through the wall leaving a large hole behind.

Storm flew off after the foalnapper leaving Vinyl and the Doctor behind.

Vinyl fired a bullet at the foalnapper and groaned in annoyance.

"Come on Doctor.....follow that foalnapper." She said jumping out of the hospital.

The Doctor tried to call out to her but to no avail.......he decided to follow and jumped out of the hospital.

________*five minutes later outside over the poor district.*_______

Storm chased the foalnapper over some 'VERY' familiar rooftops until....for some unknown reason the foalnapper flew down....Storm followed.

The foalnapper landed on the ground and the foalnapper's cloak fell off to reveal a mare who set the foal on the cloud surface before looking at Storm.

Storm noticed the mare was staring at him....he landed on the cloud surface and faced down the mare.

The mare stood up and faced Storm and chuckled.

As Storm stared at the mare he realized that she was very familiar.......she had magenta eyes.....a tan coat.....compass mark.....and had a black to light gray mane and tail.

Storm chuckled as he realized who it was. "Daring Do.....well well....she is real.....but what is she doing.....oh I see....that is her foal." He thought to himself.

"So what are you doing huh?....or am I going to have to force you to tell me?" Storm threatened.

Daring Do smiled and turned around. "You want to find out.....meet me at the abandoned warehouse in the northern district at ten...and come alone....see you around." She said flying off.

Storm watched her fly off and then kneeled down to look at the foal....he was shocked.

The foal he was looking at......it was definitely him.......Storm then remembered something the Doctor had told him....."You must never come into contact with yourself in the past or future.....if you do you'll create a paradox." He said.

Storm decided to leave the foal version of himself and chased after Daring Do but not before he left a message for Vinyl and the Doctor.

_______*Five minutes later in the exact same spot.*______

Vinyl and the Doctor ran up to the now sleeping foal and stopped.

The Doctor looked down and saw a message written on the ground. "Take him to third street in the poor district then head back to the TARDIS.....I'll meet you there some time after ten." The message said.

Vinyl immediately recognized the foal as Storm.....so she picked him up in her magic and started to walk off.

The Doctor however noticed this. "Vinyl I don't think this is a good idea.....this could be a trap." He said.

Vinyl shook her head. "No...no it isn't....Storm told me.....that he was discovered in the third street and then raised by a community and was trained as a thief......if we don't do this.....we could end up altering time......and that I take it....is very bad." She replied.

The Doctor sighed as he followed Vinyl.

________*six hours later at the abandoned warehouse*_________

Storm cautiously entered the warehouse and had activated his green eyes.

"Alright I'm here.....now what do you want!" He called.

As Storm walked through the warehouse he found that the middle of the warehouse was empty and did a quick scan.....he found Daring Do.

"So what was that about earlier?" He asked turning around in Daring's direction.

He heard some chuckling before Daring walked out of the shadows.

"Something I was hoping to avoid." She replied.

Storm did not lower his guard. "Ok then.....why did you do it.....and who was that foal to you?" He asked.

Daring took a few more steps toward Storm before stopping at four feet away.

"I did it because it was for his protection......and to answer your other question he was my son." She replied.

Storm could tell she was not lying.....even though he was taking a risk he decided to hold the pain back a little bit longer.

"Ok then......what danger?" He asked.

Daring sighed. "There is a group.....that would seek to do harm to him......they are called the Red Cross....I don't know why they sought to harm him.....only that they did." She replied.

Storm was now curious but had time for one last question. "Fine last question......who is the father?" He asked.

Daring chuckled at the last question. "There is no father." She replied.

Now Storm was VERY confused. "Then who?" He asked.

Daring smiled. "You know who.....unlike most who despise this.....the other parent is a mare.....you came to Cloudsdale with her......so tell me why does this concern you....a complete stranger?" Daring countered.

Storm chuckled and began to walk out of the warehouse. "Because I came here for answers....I got them........see you next time......mom." He replied flying away.

Daring's eyes widened before chuckling. "Well that Is one thing I got to do that others cant.....I just spoke to my kid right after his birth.....see you next time Risky." She said walking towards the exit of the warehouse.

________*ten minutes later at the TARDIS*________

Storm walked up to the doors of the TARDIS with a small smile as he switched his eyes back to normal.

He reached the doors and opened one...Storm then walked inside.

Inside the TARDIS Vinyl and the Doctor waited for Storm.

Storm walked over to Vinyl and the Doctor and smirked.

"Come on then lets go." Storm said.

Vinyl jumped in surprise and the Doctor rose up to his feet and began activating the TARDIS controls.

"Storm where were you?" Vinyl asked.

Storm chuckled and then sat down next to Vinyl.

"I'll tell you later......also did you do what I asked?" He asked.

Vinyl sighed and nodded. "Yep....your now at the third street.....and your here." She replied.

Storm leaned back on the railing and sighed in relief.

"That's good....now all of this will happen." He said.

Vinyl leaned back on the railing as well. "Yep....ok then Doctor where are we going?" She asked.

The Doctor turned around. "Well then that is entirely up to you." He replied.

Vinyl sighed in exhaustion. "I just want to get back to the apartment and sleep.....after that I really don't care." She said.

Storm just shrugged. "Same here....though I might want to blow up the royal apothecary complex." He said.

The Doctor leaned against the console. "Alright then so what will it be......home or a different adventure?" He asked.

Vinyl groaned and looked at Storm who gave her a shrug. "Ugh.....fine one more." She conceded.

The Doctor smiled as he began setting a course. "Alright then first we go back to your time and rest then we can go if you are still willing." He said.

Storm nodded and began to feel the aftershock of his eye powers...he managed to hold it in....barely.....he walked over to the TARDIS doors and leaned on the nearby railing.

Vinyl took notice and walked over to him. "Storm are you ok?' She asked.

Storm looked at her. "Yea I'm fine.....just need some rest.....I might be going weak......na not possible." He boasted.

Vinyl chuckled as the TARDIS began to shake. "Doctor you need to work on that!" She said.

The Doctor merely laughed as he worked. "Why?.....its fun!' He replied.

Storm chuckled. "Yea come on Vinyl you need to lighten up." He teased.

Vinyl looked at him in disbelief. "Are you kidding I'm way more carefree then you." She countered.

_____*two minutes later outside the hotel in Manehatten.*______

Storm walked out of the TARDIS then Vinyl and the Doctor followed.

"Ok then I will be seeing you tomorrow....but don't count on it the TARDIS never gets the time right." The Doctor said.

Vinyl shook her head and walked towards the hotel. "Ok Doc...see ya......oh and by the way." She paused as she used her magic and grabbed her gun from the TARDIS.

"You cant have it Doc....seeya." She said.

Storm groaned. "Bye Doctor.....also you might want to work on that room shaking thing." He said following Vinyl.

The Doctor walked up to Storm and stopped him.

"Before you go......remember whatever happens between you and Vinyl has to stay that way.....because for some reason you and her are a fixed point in time....I don't know why but anything that happens between you two becomes a fixed point.....so be careful.....also I'm glad that you got the answers you were looking for.....and thanks for not creating a paradox because that would have been horrible." The Doctor said.

Storm smiled. "I know thank you and your welcome........it feels good to get some form of answers.....at least I know who my birth parents are....and that they are alive.....seeya." He said walking off.

The Doctor walked back to the TARDIS and opened the door then looked at Storm.

"I wonder why Storm and Vinyl are so important.....time to get some answers." He said to himself entering the TARDIS.

Vinyl looked back to see that the Doctor was leaving and Storm was behind her....she continued to the hotel.

As Vinyl walked to the hotel she heard coughing behind her and she quickly turned around to see that Storm was once again coughing up blood.

Storm stopped momentarily and looked up. "What?.....I got my answers.....it was worth it......wouldn't you say so.........mom....heh well what do you know....I said it.....oops that was anticlimactic....and I'm out." He said before passing out.

Vinyl ran over to Storm and picked him up. "You really know how to overdo it huh kid?....better get inside." She said continuing to the hotel.

_____*five minutes later inside the hotel room*_____

Vinyl set Storm down on the bed and took his equipment off.

After Vinyl removed all of Storm's equipment she began to remove hers.

Storm looked horrible compared to normal.....he was missing fur in multiple areas and was missing almost all of his feathers on his wings......Vinyl had no idea how she missed this.

Vinyl finished taking her equipment of and set it on the table along with Storm's....she then walked over to her bed and sat down.

"What happened to him?.....and how did he find out?" She thought.

Storm groaned softly and then started to kick his leg like a dog....Vinyl chuckled at this.

"I guess that some parts of being a werewolf stay with you even if you change back." Vinyl thought.

Vinyl laid back on the bed in hopes of getting some sleep.

________*The next day Manehatten hotel.*_______

Vinyl groaned as she woke up.....she slowly opened her eyes and sat up.

The room was the same way that she left it which Vinyl gave a sigh of relief about.

She looked over at Storm who was still sleeping.....Vinyl smiled as she got up from the bed and walked over to the table and searched through the equipment.....nothing changed which meant that they were safe.....for now.

Vinyl heard Storm saying something and listened. "Hey come on now.....I was just getting started......don't tell me that you are tired......sorry what's that?.....you cant talk.....oh sorry I forgot you were dead.....ha....I made a funny......hey you guys......let me see one hundred of you and one of me......give me a challenge." Storm said out loud.

This made Vinyl concerned......she knew that Storm would not hesitate to kill.....but what if he started killing innocents......she could not stop him due to those runes so she decided to just not mention it.

Storm groaned as he awoke and opened his eyes and to his relief nothing changed save the fact that he had no weapons on him.

He took a quick look of his surroundings and noticed that all of his weapons were on the table but Demise was on the end table next to him.

Vinyl was sitting on one of the chairs in such deep thought that she didn't notice Storm wake up.

Storm stood up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom quietly as not to disturb Vinyl.

He walked into the bathroom and looked at the mirror and his eyes went wide.

Storm looked like he fought one thousand griffons....again......he turned on the sink and washed his face before feeling a familiar sensation in his throat.....he looked down quickly and coughed up blood.

"I need to take it easy or I'm dead....I lost to much blood last night......if I use ay of my eye powers I risk death.....cant do that now can I....got a daughter and wife that need me......have to recover." He thought and smiled.

"My little Spark....heh never thought I would say that.....oh well......I cant believe I overdid it....again." Storm said to himself.

Vinyl heard Storm coughing and the splat that followed.....she cringed in sorrow.

"Storm you ok in there?" Vinyl asked.

Upon hearing this Storm sighed and coughed up more blood. "Yea I'm fine.....just the aftershock.....I'm going to get a shower I'll be out in a while." He replied.

Vinyl shook her head at his antics but finally remembered that they haven't eaten at all in two days.

"Storm I'll be back gonna get some food.......got any preferences?" She asked.

Storm coughed up blood one last time before looking up. "Yea I got a preference......blood or meat.....fruit is fine though." He replied.

Vinyl raised an eyebrow.....she could understand him having a taste for meat and fruit.....but blood?

"Um....ok then....I'll be back." She said.

Storm turned on the shower and stepped in.....he let out a moan of pleasure as the water poured down on him.

Normally Storm would not care about cold water hitting him but in this case he could not be happier.....for one he felt like a furnace and two it reminded him of home.....and three the water washed away the blood...dirt and loose feathers.

As Storm showered something finally hit him. "Oh crap......my mother is a unicorn......if my teammates back home hear about this I will never hear the end of it." He said to himself.

Storm smiled though. "Oh what the hell......I don't care at all." He said as he shook his head and he began to clean himself up head to hoof.

Author's Note

Yes if you are wondering the citizens of the Artic DO use different phrases like instead of :somepony: they use :someone:......but only when they feel like it.

As always enjoy.

Ps...should I bring that accurate time thing back or no?.....just a question.
