Chapter 1-The Beginning

Wednesday. Ponyville. The TARDIS.

I woke up in my bedroom, and I checked my clock. Damn! I was late to practice flying with Rainbow Dash. She would teach me flying, and in return, I would help her by being her ‘tech support’. We scheduled our lessons every Wednesday, in the morning. She hated it when I was late for lessons.

I quickly got ready, but stop before I open the door. Something on my nightstand catches my eye. I sigh. Every morning was like this. I would always forget my wedding band on my way out. Heh. My wedding was cancelled before it happened, but I still wear it. I quickly put it on, before flying out, and grabbing a piece of toast from the one of the consoles, which had a toaster.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I live in the TARDIS. I said my goodbyes to the Doctor and my mom, Roseluck, and I rush towards the doors. However, as soon as I exited the TARDIS, everything went black.

Wednesday. Cloudsdale. Pegasus Training Arena.

Rainbow Dash checked the clock. Tech’s late. Again… She sighed. If he isn’t here in five minutes… She checks the clock again. 9:44, and counting. Shortly after, she flew away, shaking her head. Where the hell is he at? She wondered as she returned home.

Day Unknown. Location Unknown.

I woke up lying flat on my back on a table, inside some sort of extremely high-tech lair. I couldn't move, since it seems I wasstrapped down. I turned my head, and I saw a data monitor. It had all sorts of information about me on it, mostly physical characteristics. This is the data that was on it:

Coat Color: Dark Grey
Mane Color: Light Grey
Eye Color: Lime Green
Notes: Seems to be a Pegasus, due to wings on back. Scans of other inhabitants show this is normal, and not a mutation. Subject will suffice for experiment. Subject appears to be a time-lord, owing to having two hearts. Extensive scans show he is only one-fourth time-lord, as well as one-half pony and one-fourth weeping angel. Strange mark on flank. According to primitives’ database, mark called a “cutie mark”. Cutie mark of subject is three interlocked gears.

My eyes widen. "I..." I managed to get out. "I'm part time-lord?!"

I hear a loud noise behind me and see a Cyberman, exactly how the Doctor described it to me. I see a Dalek next to it, and I scream. How can these two monsters be working together? According to the Doctor, the Cybermen and Daleks are each other's worst enemy. The Cyberman walks towards me, and injects me with a needle, and I black out again.

Day Unknown. Location Unknown.

I woke up, again, but, thankfully, this time I wasn't strapped down onto a table. "This is getting really bucking old." I muttered to myself. I stood up, and I saw that all of the walls were mirrors. When I finally went to actually look at myself, I wanted to scream. I even tried, but my vocal chords refused to work. My reflection is what scared me the most, since I didn’t look anything like myself. Honestly, I don't think my mom could have told it was me, even with her "Mom Sense". What I saw in the mirror, was nothing familiar. In fact, it was completely and totally alien. I looked like a machine hell-bent on destroying Equestria. If it weren't for me being the robot I saw, I probably would have pissed myself.

There was a panel on my chest, and I opened it, expecting to see my own coat, but I could only find machinery inside.
“What happened to me?” I say aloud, surprised at what I saw. “Damn.” I say with amazement, closing the panel. I started to think, What’s the point of this? Am I a prototype weapon? Wait, so THIS is what the Cybermen and Daleks were doing to me. How long have I been gone? After pacing for a bit, I realized that I was probably strong enough to smash through the mirrors. So I started trying to break out by smashing the mirrors with my hooves. Nothing.

After a bit of messing around with my internal functions, I discovered that they had stored retractable guns beneath my wings, which had become mechanical as well. With some examination, they appeared to fire heavy laser blasts. "Time to destroy them with lazers," I muttered to myself, before blasting my way out, forming a hole in the ship. Before, anyone could realize that I had escaped, I did some quick thinking and jumped out the hole.

When I landed, I saw that the damage done to my hooves instantly began to repair itself. "Whoa," I muttered as I climbed out of the crater I had made, and I began to trot towards Ponyville.

Something was wrong. Very wrong. Suddenly, I realized that nopony was around. I instinctively went to Sugarcube Corner to see if my cousin, Pinkie Pie, was still there. When I trotted inside, I saw the notice board, and what I saw shocked me. I noticed a missing poster with my name and information on it, and when I check the date I supposedly went missing, it’s today's date.

Confused, I trotted up the stairs to get some answers, and I heard two small foals crying, and a familiar voice shushing them. “Pound, Pumpkin, it’s gonna be okay. That big meanie monster will go away soon.” said Pinkie, whispering. I moved towards the sound of her voice, and found her hiding in a closet, with the Cake twins.

She screams, “Run! Run away! Run Away!” When the foals only started crying harder, Pinkie stood up, yells, "EMERGENCY DEFENSE PROTOCOLS!" I was momentarily confused, and then I realized what I must have looked like to her. Before I could say anything she had thrown a fence at me in the shape of a letter "D" and started throwing cake at me. “Dammit, Pinkie, it’s me! It’s Tech! Stop the protocol!” I then remember the defense protocol deactivation codeword. "Fondue! Fondue!" I yelled.

She stops and looked at me and said, “Tech? Is that… is it really you?” She tackled me. “You’ve been gone for an entire year!” She says, hugging me tightly. I might've not been able to breathe, but apparently I didn't need to breathe. “What happened to you?” She asks. “I got kidnapped, and turned into… this.” I replied. “Help me find our friends, Pinkie.” I continued. “There’s gonna be war as well as chaos. And not 'chocolate milk rain' chaos, I'm talking 'end of all life in Equestria as we know it' chaos.”

We left the twins with the Cakes, who we found hiding in another closet. We trot outside, and began our search for our fruends. “How do you know that there’s gonna be a war, Tech?” Pinkie asked, walking around with her usual bounce, doing better than I could've at talking and bouncing.

“Well, Pinkie, the Cybermen and Daleks downloaded all of their plans into my memory banks. I think they were trying to brainwash me into being their superweapon.” Pinkie thought for a moment, and then she understood what I was talking about. I guess giving her a crash course on computer science has finally paid off after all these years.

“Ohhhhhhhhh!” she says, smiling. I can’t help but smile along with her. I was glad to have her as my cousin. We arrived at the field underneath Cloudsdale, and I said to Pinkie, “Stay here. I’ll go get Rainbow.”

“Sure thing!” she replied.

I flew up to Cloudsdale itself, and went straight in the direction of Rainbow’s cloud house. I think the word she called her house was "Cloudominium", but I digress. I knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I tried opening the door, but it was locked. I thought to myself, If only I had a lock-picking kit... All of a sudden, my hoof felt...different. I looked over to see that my hoof had transformed into a lock-picking kit. Huh... I picked the lock and walked inside, and my hoof went back to normal. Well, as normal as it could have been, under these circumstances. I searched the house for Rainbow, but I couldn’t find her. Then everything went black.

Again.

Dammit.

Wednesday. Cloudsdale. Rainbow Dash’s cloud house.

I lifted my head, and I opened my eyes to see Rainbow sitting across from me. She was wielding a EMP boot, a weapon I had created and given to all my friends, which temporarily turns off machines. Y'know, if some evil-looking robot fell out of the sky and went searching for all of my friends. Oh wait... “I want answers.” She said, and she glared at me.

“Rainbow, I-” I barely get out of my mouth, before everything around us exploded. Stupid Daleks.

Author's Note

So, what did you guys think? Anyways, Tech's robot form kinda looks like this:

...but as a pony. Yeah, I'm not too good with art, so...
If you didn't like something, like the pacing or my OC, please leave CONSTRUCTIVE criticism in the comments. Thanks!

Chapter 2-The Journey

Wednesday. Cloudsdale. Rainbow Dash’s Cloud House.

As everything exploded around me, I had one thought, and one thought only. Well, two, actually. First of all, I was thinking, Shit! obviously. Almost forgot that bit. Anyways, my other thought was I need to save Rainbow! I flew through the wreckage, the word "shit" on a loop in my head. After fly through, dodging burning pieces of cloud, I found Rainbow Dash, but she was not in good condition.

She was knocked unconscious, lying in the flames. I swooped in and saved her (damn cliche's), before the flames can do any permanent damage. Thankfully, she seems mostly unharmed. I land next to Pinkie, who looks like she was getting worried, and then she hugs me. She asks, “What took you so long?”

I put down Rainbow and responded, “She knocked me out with the EMP bracelet.” I then proceded pull Rainbow's bracelet off of her hoof.

“Oh yeah. I forgot you gave us those!” she said, pulling hers out. We wait a couple minutes, watching the Dalek ship that blew up Rainbow's house fly away. After about an hour or so of waiting, 2 rounds of hoof wrestling (I always won, I had "help"), 5 rounds of I-spy (again, I always won because of my "help"), and lots and lots of tic-tac-toe, Rainbow finally woke up. When she opens her eyes and sees me, she yelped.

She screamed, “Somepony help me!” I sighed mentally, as well as physically. and Pinkie Pie tried to calm her down.

“Dashie, it’s me, Pinkie! Everything is gonna be okay. Right Tech?” she said. She looks directly at me at the mention of my name. Rainbow stops screaming, looks at me confused. She looks me over, and I can see her working it out in her head.

"What the hell are you talking about, Pinkie?" she asked, thinking about it for a moment. “Wait a minute…Tech?!” she yells. She lunged at me and slugged me in the shoulder.

Damn, that mare can land a really good hit. “Owww…” I said. “What the hell was that for?”

“That’s for being gone for an entire year!’ She responded before hugging me tightly. “You could’ve been dead!” she said, and I see tears in her eyes. The hell? I thought. Something was up. Definitely. She’s never shown this much emotion, towards anypony. Not even towards her closest friends.

Why me? I mean, I want to know why exactly, but I'm not complaining, though. “Rainbow, are you okay? You’ve never been this emotional.” She stood up, and wiped her tears away.

“Yeah…I’m…I’m okay,” she said, taking a deep breath. "Let's go."

Wednesday. Ponyville. Twilight’s Castle.

I knocked on the door of Twilight’s Castle. There wass a pause before the purple alicorn opened the door slightly, and she peeked out. She saw me and slams the door. Rainbow knocks this time, and Twilight doesn't answer. Rainbow called out, “Twilight, it’s okay. It'll be okay, alright? He’s friendly.” I heard Twilight hesitating on the other side of the door, then she let us in, and we saw the damage done from the attack.

Books are scattered everywhere, some of the books are on fire, and just most of the furniture is smashed up. “So… what do I call you?” Twilight asks me.

“You remember me, don’t you?” I say. “I’m Tech. I went missing a year ago. Ringing any bells?”

“Tech? Wow, this is crazy. I mean you’re a robot! How did this happen? Are you okay? Did you find anypony else? Are you hurt? Do you-” I cut her off there and told her everything. She took a moment to process all of the information I had given her.

“So, will you help us?” I asked.

“Of course!” she replied, with no hesitation whatsoever. We walk around Ponyville for a little bit, and search for the TARDIS. I even used my sensors to search for it, but no luck in finding it.

Then, I remembered the default place the TARDIS goes to when there’s danger around. The "emergency safe zone", pretty much, generating a force field within a 50 foot radius.

Wednesday. Ponyville. Sweet Apple Acres.

“Why are we here? Aren’t we looking for the Doctor?” Rainbow asks from overhead.

“This is where the TARDIS lands when there’s danger.” I respond.

“Oh yeah. I knew that. I think.” She said sheepishly. We go around the back of the barn, and there’s a familiar blue box behind it. I opened the brand new fake keyhole, and type in the passcode.

As the door opened, I find the Doctor and my mom talking to one another. “-pretty sure he’s safe.” I hear the Doctor say before he whips around to see our little group.

"I...uh...well...huh. Hi." I stuttered.

“Rainbow, Pinkie, Twilight, get behind me. Get away from that… thing,” he said, with obvious disgust. " I'll figure out how to kill it. Or at least subdue it." But the three mares stay with me and won’t budge.

The Doctor turned to me, and said, “You. What did you do to them? Blood control?”

“Doctor, it’s me! I’m Tech!” I said.

Rainbow backed me up, saying, “Yeah! Um, Doctor, it really is Tech!”

The Doctor looks uneasy, and said, “Alright, tell me something only Tech would know.” I approach him, and tell him the secret. I’m obviously not telling you what it is. I step back, and the Doctor nods at my mother. She gallops towards me and hugs me tightly, and I return the embrace.

We all heard somepony’s voice, but, as unfamiliar as it was, it somehow seemed familiar. I trotted outside of the TARDIS to investigate. As I walked out, I saw the source of the voice: Applejack. The good news was, we saw each other. The bad news was, she pulled out her EMP bracelet.

Knowing that she won’t listen to anything I say, I mentally sighed, and prepared for her to attack me. She came at me with the EMP bracelet, and I adjusted my guns. "Set phasers to stun," I muttered under my breath. On the deploy of my guns, Applejack began to zig-zag as to dodge my attack. She went limp as I used my targeting systems to knock her out. I brought her to the TARDIS, and the Doctor agreed to make sure she didn't go ballistic when she woke up. I then told everyone to stay there while I began my search for Rarity and Fluttershy.

Wednesday. Ponyville. Near Carousel Boutique

I wondered for a moment if Rainbow Dash knew that I knew that she was following me. I suddenly stopped, mid-flight, and she crashed into me. “Whoa, Tech!” she said, surprised. I gave her a look, and she smiled sheepishly.

"Why were you following me?" I asked.

"Well, I uh..." she said, trailing off.

"Well?" I say, with an expectant look on my face.

The grin faded from her face. She slowly descended, and I followed her down. When we landed, I looked her right in the eyes. “I’m going to ask one more time: Why, Rainbow?”

She gave me a defeated look, and said, “Tech, I… I want to tell you, but I can’t.”

“Why not?” I ask. “Who told you that you can’t tell me?”

“You did. After lecturing me about not screwing with the timeline.” She said quietly, before flying back to our route.

Confused, I flew up beside her and said, “Fine, but after this is all over, you have to tell me.” At this, she turned her head away from me. We flew on in complete silence, before reach Carousel Boutique. When we arrived, we flew through a hole in the roof, only to find a sealed metal door behind one of Rarity's wardrobes. We tried opening it, but, surprise, it didn't budge. So I began using a mode on my guns to start cutting through the door with lasers.

When we finally get through the door, we find Rarity with an improvised, detonation-based projectile weapon. So basically, she built a gun. She fired at me, and the bullet embedded itself right between my eyes. "Damn," Rainbow says. "Nice shot, Rarity."

She peeks up from the table she was hiding behind. "Rainbow Dash? What are you doing with that...thing. Hmph. Such a crude design for a killer robot." As the bullethole in my face healed itself up, Rainbow explained to Rarity what had happened. Rarity nodded in understanding, and we dropped her off at the TARDIS. We then began our trip to the edge of the Everfree Forest.

Wednesday. Ponyville. Edge of the Everfree Forest

Rainbow and I flew towards Fluttershy’s cottage, and, surprisingly, it wasn’t damaged at all. So I wouldn't scare Fluttershy as soon as she opened the door, Rainbow knocked, and I hid behind a tree. “Hello, Rainbow.” Fluttershy said in her usual soft voice as she opened the door. “What brings you here?”

“You see, Fluttershy, Ponyville just got attacked…by aliens. So, would you come along with us.” replies Rainbow.

“Oh no, that’s terrible.” said Fluttershy with a gasp. "But I will come with you and help in any way I can!"

“On another note, Tech came back! But he’s…different, so be nice to him.”

“Of course. What kind of friend would I be if I wasn't nice just because they were different?” said Fluttershy with a nod. “Where is he?” Rainbow looks to me, and I fly over. Fluttershy gasped, and hid behind Rainbow. “What is that thing?” she said, shortly before fainting.

I looked at Rainbow, and said, “Dammit.”

Chapter 3-The Battle

Wednesday. Sweet Apple Acres. The TARDIS.

We arrived back at the TARDIS, and carried Fluttershy in. Rainbow continues to avoid my gaze. After a couple of minutes, Applejack and Fluttershy began to wake up and look around. When their eyes landed on me, Fluttershy ran to hide in a corner, quivering, and Applejack narrowed her eyes at me. "So..." she said. "What are you, exactly?"

"Well, I'm not completely sure, but I'd assume I'm a superweapon prototype." I reply. She thought for a moment, before glancing at Rainbow, who was standing by my side.

"Hmm. I guess I'll trust you, since, Rainbow trusts you." she said. "That, and, if you go rogue, we're all here to stop you."

I looked over to who flinched as if I were going to attack her. "Hey," I said. She shrank away as I drew closer. I held out my hoof to comfort her. "I'm not going to hurt you."

Suddenly, a large explosion tips over the TARDIS. Rainbow and I quickly fly towards the doors that lead to the hallways that branch out to activate the emergency closing, so nopony could fall through. We both fly out of the TARDIS, and return it back to the original position. When we get back inside, I tell everyone, “We are under attack! Brace yourselves!”

Wednesday. Ponyville. Sugarcube Corner.

The Doctor flew the TARDIS to Sugarcube Corner, as to hold it down as a base. I then realized that my wedding band was gone. Probably
stolen by the Daleks and Cybermen. Assholes.

Anyways, Daleks and Cybermen fought around us, we came up with a battle plan. “So, Fluttershy stays here, out of battle to tend to the wounded. Mom, you’ll help. Applejack and Rarity, you look for survivors. And Rarity, please try not to maim anyone other than the Daleks and the Cybermen." I said. "Twilight, draft a letter to Princess Celestia for help. Pinkie, make some food, since we don’t know how long this will last. Also, some assault cakes. Doctor, Rainbow and I will be on the front lines, and defend Sugarcube corner. Are we clear?”

I was met with nods of approval. However, Rainbow the said, “Okay, nopony freak out, but…” She extends her wings and she begins to become covered with white armor, and a pair of machine guns pop out of her back. Everypony gasps.

However, my mind can't process anymore changes. “So, why didn’t you tell me about this when you saw me like this?” I said, I gesture towards myself.

“I…forgot.” She said sheepishly.

“When did this happen?” asked Twilight.

“Well, about 8 months ago.” She replied. “I went to this place called ‘Aperture Labs’ as a test subject and I kinda…” she trailed off.

"'Kinda' what?" I asked.

“I kinda... well, nearly died… I went comatose for a short while. BUT, they augmented my body by giving me armor and ranged weapons, and future you upgraded me, so I could equip the armor, or just deploy the weapons.”

“Wow.” I said, impressed.

“So now what?” Rainbow asked impatiently.

“Now,” I said. “Let's make some noise.”

Wednesday. Canterlot. The Castle.

Princess Celestia was bored. Very bored. Until she got a letter from Twilight. Celestia instinctively grabbed the letter and read it.
She read:

Dear Princess Celestia,

Ponyville is under attack by strange creatures, and we don’t know how long we can hold off. This is very urgent, please come and help us to retaliate. In other news, Techno Geek, who went missing a year ago, has returned. He was abducted by these creatures, and turned into a living weapon. He looks different from the others, however, and is on our side.

Your Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle.

Celestia thinks for a moment, smiles, and calls out, “Luna! There's a battle in Ponyville, and Twilight needs our help.”

Luna then trotted in and says “What are thou waiting for? Let us proceed with the battle, and emerge victorious!” Shortly after, the two alicorns telepotowards Ponyville.

Wednesday. Ponyville. Sugarcube Corner.

Boom. The explosion shook Sugarcube corner. Fluttershy flinched in fear, and returned to fixing up one of the survivors, and my mom passed her more bandages. I turned around and blasted a random Cyberman as well as the Dalek it was fighting with my twin Dalek guns. I saw Rainbow Dash holding her own, and the Doctor hacking the enemy with his Sonic Screwdriver, making them malfunction. As I flew around, I saw a bright flash of light, and a large group of Cybermen and Daleks lay dead on the ground. As I regained sight, I noticed Princess Celestia, and somepony that I had thought died long ago.

Flashback: 2169 years ago.

The TARDIS landed near a recruitment tent. “I want you to kill changelings!” proclaimed a poster nearby, with a picture of Celestia on it. I walked out of the TARDIS and into the recruitment tent. I signed up for the only area left for recruitment: Night Ops, otherwise known as Stealth Ops.

3 months later.

I walked towards the tent for Night Ops, where I would finally meet the leader of this team. When I entered, I saw an extremely attractive mare. I nudged my bunkmate, Zephyr. “Who is that?” I asked.

“Oh, that’s General Selena. She’s the sister of General Celestia. Y'know, the one leading the charge against changelings.” I looked at her again. Saying that she was beautiful would be an understatement. A dark blue coat with a light blue mane, and she was a pegasus, like me.

I walked up to her, and said, “H-Hi. I’m Techno Geek. I signed up two weeks ago, and this is my first assignment.” Selena looked at me with her beautiful sky-blue eyes and smiled.

“Thou shalt be of great help to us, Techno Geek.” she says, and I smile at her.

Hours later.

We snuck up behind the changeling outpost. I was sweating. I nervously held onto my knife, and swallowed. As Selena gestured for us to advance onto the position, I took a deep breath, and followed them.

We split up into groups of two, me with my bunkmate. Before we advanced, I did a quick headcount. All eight of us were here, and accounted for. Zephyr and I followed the instructions we had been given, and silently began taking out guards. Well, Selena's team was the only one getting the files, so everypony else was taking out guards and other changelings. The mission was completed without a single hitch, and was a success.

Two weeks later.

I finally worked up the courage to do it. I knocked on Selena's room's door, and I heard her say, "Come in!" I opened the door, and walked through the door, shutting it behind me. "Ah, Tech. What brings you here?" she asked me when she saw me walk in.

I swallowed. No backing out now. "I, uh... I was wondering if you wanted spend lunch period with me tomorrow." I said, nervously. She examined me for a moment before speaking.

"Are you asking me out on a date?" she asked, and blood rushed to my cheeks. "Because we're in the middle of a war right now."

Embarrassed, I began to stutter. "I-I'm sorry. I-It's just..." I sighed. "I'll just... I'll just excuse myself, General."

As I turned and began to walk out, she spoke. "Wait." I turned around. She smiled at me. "I never said no."

One-and-a-half months later

Life was great. I was dating the most wonderful mare in the world, and I had a surprise for her. As I knocked on her office door, I mentally rehearsed what I was going to say. As she opened the door, I took a breath and walked in. As I turned to her, she looked at me with a bemused expression. "So what did you want to talk to me about, Tech?" she asked me.

I swallowed, and began to speak. "Selena, I know we've been dating for a long time now. I've been thinking, and, since we're in the middle of a war, we probably don't have long to live. But... I don't want to be your coltfriend anymore. I-"

"Are you..." she began. "Are you breaking up with me?" I paused for a moment, looking at her. She had a sad look in her eyes, believing that I was breaking up with her.

"Selena," I said. "The reason I don't want to be your coltfriend is..." As I paused, I pulled out a small box. I smiled at her, opened the box, and said, "Because I want to be your husband."

Her eyes widened. I wish I could have captured the look on her face. She was shocked and excited, both at the same time. She began breathing very quickly, almost hyperventilating. I looked at her. "Hey, you never answered me." I said, and she nodded furiously.

"Yes!" she said. "I will." She smiled at me, .

"Well," I said. "Time to start the first day of the rest of our life."

Before anything else could happen, Selena's older sister, Celestia, entered the room. "Selena, another threat has made itself apparent. He seems to be a draconequus, and he calls himself 'Discord'. We must deal with him immediately."

I looked at Selena, and said, "Go. Not every day you get to fight a crazy magic creature, right?"

"The same could be said about getting married." she responded.

"That can wait." I said, before giving her one last kiss goodbye.

One week later.

I hadn't heard from Celestia or Selena for a couple days, and I was beginning to get worried. However, while laying down in my bunk one night, and playing with my wedding band, Celestia walked in. Just about everypony else fell out of their bunks, if they were in them, The others just snapped to attention. I climbed down from my bunk at stood at attention. I noticed she had developed wings, and it seemed as if the others had as well. "At ease," she said. "I only need Techno Geek for this."

As the others returned to what they were doing, I followed Celestia out of the barracks. "So, General, what did you need me for?"

She gave me a sad look, and said, "In the battle with Discord, your fiancée, my sister, didn't... she didn't make it."

As the news sank in, I couldn't let myself believe it. "I...I'm sorry for your loss..." I said, and she shook her head.

"Selena and I were close, but she was your fiancée." she said. "This battle turned me and her into alicorns, which were myths up to now. However, she didn't survive the entire process."

I closed my eyes, and walked back into the barracks.

The next day

I lugged my bags over to the TARDIS, stilled shocked over yesterday's news. As the Doctor opened the door, he asked, "What happened? You weren't supposed to come back for another-" He stopped talking once I gave him a look. I brought my belongings into my room, and dropped myself onto my bed. For a while, I simply laid there, soaking my sheets with tears.

Present day.

Selena. My one and only. We met such a long time ago. I was seventeen, and she was eighteen. Celestia knows how old she is now. For her, that was thousands of years ago. For me, it was only a few. I watched her lower her horn at me, and I couldn't move as I was hit with a blast of supercharged magic.

Author's Note

Bring the hate!

Chapter 4-Revelations

Wednesday. Ponyville. Sugarcube corner.

White noise. That’s all I could hear. When I opened my eyes, I saw a gaping hole in my chest, and I realized that something was different. I looked down at myself, and I saw that my body has somehow went back to how it was originally. Before i was kidnapped, that is. My coat color, my mane and tail, even my cutie mark. Back to normal. “Disguise protocols success…” I heard a robotic voice say, which was fading away quickly. I looked and saw the six-armed Cyberman from before, slowly dying.

I gave a small smile, watching the creature that had turned me into the monster I am now, die slowly and, hopefully, painfully. Do Cybermen feel pain? The hole in my chest began to repair itself, and I looked up to see Selena in shock, seeing me repair. “St-stay back!” she yelled.

In response, I only gave her a sad look, and said, “Selena! It’s me! Tech!” Selena gave me a look of confusion, before wincing, and falling unconscious. She dropped onto the floor, hard.

“What the hell did you do to her?!” I demanded, whipping around to face Celestia.

She hesitated momentarily, before she said, “When I called her to help fight Discord the first time, that’s what transformed us into alicorns. But you already knew that. However, what you probably don't know, is that, after the conversion, she changed her name. She changed it to Luna, as to fit her role as the night to my day more properly. Since we had to lead our side against the changelings, I couldn’t allow for you two to be married. Luna would have been distracted by her new found status as half of a married couple, and wouldn't be able to concentrate on the battle. So I had to erase her memories of you, and send you home.”

At this point, Selena, or, rather, Luna, began waking up. When she opened her eyes she saw me. Her eyes begin to fill with tears. “What the-” she asks, looking straight at me. "Tech? Is it... is it really you? I...I forgot about you..." She had a sad look in her eyes. "I'm sorry."

“Luna, I already forgive you, especially since i thought you were dead." I paused, and glared at Celestia. "But for now, we need to finish up these monsters.” She nodded at me, and we returned to battle.

"So, how did your sister wipe your memories of me, anyways?" I asked Luna, as we dove into battle.

"I can't really remember," she said. "Must have erased that part as well."

"Well, I hope she didn't erase the maneuvers you taught us. Maneuver 616!" I yelled, and Luna slid underneath a Cyberman, and launched it into the air. As it was in the air, I flew up, and my hooves transformed into knives. Huh. I was originally going to tackle it, but I went ahead and began hacking at it. We continued on like this, randomly shouting out different maneuvers, such as my personal favorite, maneuver 52.

"Maneuver 52!" Luna shouted, and I grinned.

"You remembered..." I said, and she smiled.

"My memories are coming back," she admitted. We began the maneuver. Moments later, every Dalek and Cyberman nearby was pushed into a single area. Now was my favorite part. I pulled out a bomb that I had built from some parts nearby, and lit the fuse. I threw it in the middle of the group, and smiled as it began to unfold. The Daleks and Cybermen, were confused, but before they could do anything, the bomb detonated.

"Boom." I said, with a look of satisfaction on my face. I turned to see that the rest of our little ragtag group had finished off the rest of the invaders. As we regrouped, I noticed Rainbow avoiding eye contact with me, since she knew the battle was over. I walked over.

“Now that this is over, tell me why you always act so strange around me.” I say sternly.

She looks at me. “Fine. Let’s talk in private.”

We walk towards the back of Sugarcube corner, where Fluttershy and my mom are still fixing up survivors, which, thankfully, are many. Rainbow pulls out an old newspaper for approximatley ten years ago, and passes it towards me. It reads: MULTI-COLORED EXPLOSION CAUSES WEATHER FACTORY INCIDENT IN CLOUDSDALE: DOZENS OF YOUNG PEGASI ORPHANED

“Why are you showing me this?” I ask. She points towards the picture, which is a group of young pegasi standing in front of an orphanage, when I notice a younger version of her on the picture.

“I was eleven then.” she says. “I was in shock that my dad had died.”

“You’re an orphan, so what? What does it have to do with me?” I ask, confused.

“No, not an orphan. I got adopted…on the same day I was orphaned. By a grey pony.” she says, sighing. Then, it dawned on me.

“You…you’re my…” I said in disbelief.

“Yep." She said, looking me in the eyes. "Dad.” Stunned at what I had just discovered, I couldn't speak. "Though," she said, breaking the silence. "You had an eye patch, if I remember properly. I don't know how you got it, though."

I took a deep breath. "No." I said. "I can't accept this. I'm bucking twenty-one! Well, twenty-two now, I guess. But still, I can't accept that one of my best friends was actually my daughter the entire time." I sighed. "I'm sorry. It's just..."

She put her hoof on my shoulder. "Dad, it's fine." She gave a small smile. "It's been a while since I had called you that."

I nodded. "Though, I think this talk is what gave me the information needed so that I could adopt you. Mind if I hold on to this?" I hold out the newspaper. She shakes her head. "Thanks," I said, and put it into a compartment in my chest. "Now let's go. The others are waiting."

As we walked back, I noticed my mother speaking into a long-range pocket communicator. Very long-range. As in, designed for communicating light years apart. I narrowed my eyes, but I didn't say anything.

“Special scanners show that the rest of the Dalek and Cyberman armies are in an alternate dimension,” the Doctor said, and glanced at my mom. “Our old dimension.”

“How are we supposed to get there?” I asked.

“Tech, you need to build a machine that won’t tear apart the fabric of reality as we dimension jump.” said the Doctor.

Friday. Ponyville. The TARDIS.

The Dimension Jumper was almost complete. We just needed a little more time. Rainbow walked into the room, and said, “Hey. How's it going?”

I looked up at her and said, “It's going pretty slow. Do you want to help me?” She nodded and walked over. “So, what do you know about this technology?” I ask.

“Everything you do.” she replies. “You are eventually going to teach me everything you know.” I give her an impressed look.

“Alright then, let’s get to work.” I say as we continue to work on the project.

Friday. Ponyville. Sugarcube Corner.

I walked into Sugarcube Corner with Rainbow, and everyone looked at us expectantly. “We’ve completed the Dimension Jumpers, but there are only two. I will need somepony to accompany me to the other dimension.” I said.

The Doctor sighed, and says, “Alright, I did want to go back anyways, even for a little bit.”

As we prepare to cross dimensions, I give Luna one more kiss before we head off. I push a button on the little band that is the Dimension Jumper, and we teleport into a vortex.

We sit in the vortex for a couple moments, and I said, "'You're travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sound but of mind. This is not a new world or otherwise, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned the ripping imprint on the pages of history since the beginning of time,'" I smile. "Something I remember my dad saying. I used to think he was talking about space, but there's no sound in space, so I was confused."

I chuckle. "Afterwards, though, I do recall him saying that 'time is the future', so maybe he was talking about the time vortex. But before I was old enough to even talk, he disappeared."

We waited a little longer, before the vortex spat us out at our destination.

Friday. Hovering above London. Dalek Ship.

The Doctor and I teleported onto the Cyberman command ship, directly into the main engine room. Thankfully, there wasn't a single Cyberman there, so we strapped some explosive charges onto the main engine. I flew him off of the ship before it exploded. “One down,” I said. “One to go.” finished the Doctor.

We then teleported onto the Dalek mothership, and into the main engine room. Unfortunately, it was s filled with Dalek Guards. “WHO ARE YOU!? HOW DID YOU GET HERE!?” they screamed.

"In through the maze through your reflection, we entered from a terminal connection," I said, and before they could make any sense of what I said, I yelled, "Okay, buck it, I lied. We teleported. What you gonna do?" I began blasting, and the Doctor yelled out.

"Tech! Charges planted!" I tackled him, and activated the Jumper.

"Fasten your seatbelt," I muttered under my breath as we went in.

Friday. Ponyville. Sugarcube Corner.

The Doctor and I returned from our surprisingly easy task, and were greeted with smiles and cheers. Maybe it was easy, maybe the Daleks and Cybermen were just idiots, I'll never know. Luna and I made eye contact, and I saw her mouth at me, “Good job,” and smile. After the small celebration was over, we got back to rebuilding Ponyville.

Two months later.

Monday. Ponyville. Sugarcube corner.

Today was the day. It had been a while since the Invasion, as ponies were calling it, had ended. We had finished off most of the stragglers, and rebuilt most of the town. As Luna walked in, I heard the other ponies whispering, and I saw them looking at her. From what I can hear, most of them are surprised by her presence. Mrs. Cake ran out of the kitchen to greet her, and said, “P-Princess Luna! Can I help you?”

Luna smiled at her and says, “Thank you, but I believe my date has it covered.”

She looked at me, and Mrs. Cake followed her gaze, and says, “If you say so, Princess.”

Luna walked towards me and sat down. I smiled at her and say, “Hi, Luna.” She smiled back and we exchange a quick kiss, and I saw that the other ponies watching us have gone slack-jawed.

“Luna,” I said. “It’s been a while since I first asked, but…”

She looked at me with a thoughtful look, and said, “Okay…go ahead.”

I prepared myself, and said, “Luna, I proposed millennia ago, and I mean that quite literally. But it's time to follow up. Let's get married.”

Luna smiled wider, and said, “I already said yes, didn't I? It's about time.”

Epilogue-Another Royal Wedding

Three weeks later
Sunday. Canterlot. The Castle.

The wedding bells were ringing. I walked up the stairs, and Luna smiled at me. She looked beautiful in her dress. I could barely contain my excitement! After all these years, I was finally getting married to the most amazing mare in all of Equestria. “You excited?” I whisper to Luna. She nodded at me, grinning widely.

I look around and see Rainbow, who smiles at me. We say our vows, and then Celestia says, “Do you, Princess Luna, my sister, take this colt, Techno Geek, to be your lawful wedded husband?”

“I do.” says Luna.

“And do you, Techno Geek, take this mare, Princess Luna, to be your lawful wedded wife?” Celestia continues.

“I do.” I say, smiling, feeling warmth inside.

Celestia smiles at Luna and I, then she says, “I now pronounce you mare and colt. You may now kiss the bride.” I looked Luna in the eyes, and we kissed. And the room went up in cheers.

I whispered to Luna, “Here's a thought: how about we go dimension hopping for the honeymoon?” She smiled mischievously at me.

“Sounds…fun.” she whispered back.

Crack.

I instinctively tackled Luna, absorbing the hit. Somepony had a gun. I don't know how, but somepony had a gun. No-one in Equestria had developed weapons as advanced as guns, at least as far as I know. Well, except for Rarity. I looked up, but saw nothing, except some thin smoke. Damn. Whoever they were, they were good.

~~~

The party was fantastic. Pinkie even called up Ponyville DJ Vinyl Scratch to play during the celebration! I looked for Luna, and found her throwing the bouquet into a small crowd of bridesmaids. Somewhere, I hear Rarity sighing, saying, “So I won’t be getting married soon, after all.”

Despite the assassination attempt earlier, the wedding was fine. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were having fun with some other colts and fillies from here in Canterlot. Ponies Dancing. Vinyl having a sort of music duel with Equestria-Famous Glaze. More ponies dancing. However, I needed to speak with my wife.

I trotted towards Luna, and whispered to her, “We need to talk in private.” She followed me to the balcony, and we stood in silence for a bit.

“What is it, Tech?” Luna asked, breaking the silence.

I sighed, before saying, “You know how Rainbow Dash always acts differently around me and you?” Luna nodded slowly. “As it turns out,” I continue. “She’s my -sorry- our, adopted daughter. Her house was actually destroyed, so she’ll be living with us.” Luna’s expression turns to one of surprise.

“I’m sorry for not telling you earlier,” I say. “But I didn’t want you to stress about the situation. I mean, I just found out the day the war ended. You had to oversee the rebuilding of Ponyville.” She nods in understanding.

“Well, I guess our family is growing already, don't you think.” she said with a smile, and I smile right back. She looks at me, and after a moment, we kiss and head back inside to the party.

~~~

I heard Glaze say, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8-" as we walk in, but her voice is distorted.

I hear Vinyl respond with, "Why are you using a broken mic?" Yep. This was the best wedding ever. Pinkie Pie was even replacing all of the treats at the tables, just as fast as they were disappearing! I thought that this was the best night of my life. Coming home was even better.

Goodbyes were exchanged, and Luna, Rainbow, and I left to go home. Her house had been completely destroyed in the invasion, and hadn't been fully repaired. As we fly home, Rainbow whispers to me, “Does Princess-I mean, Mom know that I’m your daughter?” I nodded, and she flew over to Luna. I heard some quiet conversation go on for a while.

At some point on this journey, I saw something down below, but it vanished before I could have seen it better. “Tech? Are you okay?” I look up to see Luna and Rainbow staring at me with concern.

“Yes. I'm fine. I just thought I saw something down there…” I reply. “It was probably nothing.”

But still, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the thing below looked suspiciously like red and black smoke.

Monday. Ponyville. My House.

I woke up, and checked the time. It was a little past two in the morning. I looked up and noticed Luna was still standing on the balcony. I walked up to her, and say, “How about that honeymoon?”

A look of concern appeared on her face. "Now? But I may miss my duties as Princess of the Night, as well as Defender of Night Travelers-"

I placed my hoof on her mouth. I smiled. "You worry too much. You shouldn't. I already built time travel into the Dimension jumpers, so I'm pretty sure that you'll be fine."

She removed my hoof from her mouth, and smiled. "Alright. Sounds fun." she responded.

~~~

We returned home, where Luna resumed her nightly duties. “That was... interesting, to say the least.” she says to me.

"Was it at least fun?" I asked. She nodded, smiling.

Monday. Ponyville. My House.

Whack.

I wake up with a start, being rudely awakened by a random piece of parchment smacking my forehead. "Gah! What the hell..." I muttered, as I open my eyes, and see Luna lying down next to me, sound asleep. I smile, and then pick up the parchment. I unrolled it, and read:

Dear Tech,

A griffon showed up at my door, demanding to see you. He doesn't seem like he's going to leave unless you come see him. In other news, I found a changeling as small as an insect, and I think you would be interested in studying it.

Your Friend, Twilight Sparkle.

I sighed. Only Twilight could find something to do with science before lunch. I yawned, then I shook Luna to wake her up. She murmurs, “No. Five more minutes.”

I whispered in her ear, “Come on. We have to go.”

I shook her again, and this time she got up. “Huh? What is it, Tech?” she said as she got out of bed.

“We have to go to Twilight’s. I have a hunch.” I replied.
~~~

We went to Twilight’s castle and found that all of Twilight’s friends were there, including Rainbow. Luna trotted inside, but before I could follow, I felt a griffon's claw on my shoulder, and a voice said, "Let's talk out here." I swallowed and turned around. I came face-toface with an angry-looking griffon. "What the hell is wrong with you?" he asked.

"What did I do?" I asked, with a sigh.

He raised his eyebrows. "Really? You don't remember leaving me to die?"

I shrug. "I'm pretty sure I would remember doing that."

"Come on!" He said. "Think harder. Mom adopted me off the street, and you were there. After five years of caring for me, an eleven year-old crippled street rat, you just disappeared. And I was on the street again. It took me two years to track you down and get to you, and you don't remember any of it?!"

It took me a moment to process what he was saying. "Wait- so what you're saying is," I start. "You're my brother?!"

He gave me an exasperated look. "What, do you have amnesia or something?"

I shook my head. "Look," I say. "I'm a time traveler. Whatever happened to you may not have even happened to me yet, so give me a break. And besides if you didn't angrily hunt me down, how would I have even known you existed. What's your name anyway?"

He took a deep breath. "Razor. Razor Sharp. I guess you named me after the fact I was good with knives. And why you gave me these to replace parts of my wings." He lifted up his wing to reveal metal replacements ending in bladed feathers.

"Did I build this?" I asked, examining his wing. He nodded.

He looked towards the castle. "We should go in before they do something irreversible that changeling."

"So, you've met him?" I ask, and he responds with a nod.

~~~

We walked in to find a tiny changeling trapped inside a jar with even smaller holes in the lid for air. “Well, everyone,” Twilight says. “This is what I found.” Everyone’s eyes are on her…except mine. I noticed that the changeling was looking at me. His eyes are the same as a normal changeling, only lime green instead of blue.

He presses his face against the side of the jar and mouths, “Help me.” When I saw this, I knew my hunch was correct.

“…and then we dissect it and preserve its body.” Twilight said, finishing her plan.

“No.” I said, in a flat voice. Everyone stared at me. The changeling gave a sigh of relief, and slumped against the side of the jar.

“What? Why not? It'll be completely humane, and-” she said, before I interrupted her.

“Not ‘it’. ‘He’.” I said. The changeling looks at me hopefully. I walked towards the jar and opened it. The changeling flew up and lands on my muzzle, and looked at me with a combination of happiness and thankfulness. Everyone except for Razor and I began to panic.

Twilight said, “Tech, what did you do?!”

“Simple.” I responded, trying to keep from dropping the changeling. “I released a pony from captivity.”

They look at me with confused expressions on their faces. Twilight said, “But, it’s a changeling, not a pony.”

“True.” I said. “Well, physically, at least. Mentally, he’s normal.” The changeling smiled at me. "Everyone, meet my brother, Computer Chip."

Prologue-The Experiment

Wednesday. Hovering above Equestria. Two Daleks and two Cybermen are onboard the ship.

“WE MUST FIND A TEST SUBJECT!” screamed one of the Daleks.

“Scanners read that over 60% of life below are equines.” said a Cyberman.

“THEY WILL SUFFICE!” said the second Dalek, who had battle armor modified for stealth and abduction.

“We must modify the experimental template,” said the second Cyberman. “We must acquire one of these creatures for purposes of the experiment.” it continued, before getting cut off by the first Dalek.

“HOLD ON! SCANNERS SHOW….THE TARDIS?!” the first Dalek screamed.

“Impossible.” Says the first Cyberman. “The Doctor could only reached this dimension through advanced means. The Doctor would not risk travelling dimensions for something unimportant.”

“WE MUST PROCEED WITH CAUTION!” said the Dalek.

“Agreed. The Doctor could compromise the secrecy of this alliance, and let the rest of the Cybermen and Daleks know about this. Stealth is of the upmost importance. We must kidnap the Doctor to ensure secrecy.”

Wednesday. Ponyville. The TARDIS.

The Doctor pacing around nervously. “Nothing bad has happened for the past two months. Why? It’s quiet…too quiet.” he said, smiling at his own cliché joke. He read over the scanners again. “Still…nothing,” he said, frowning again.

“Doctor?” said a colt’s voice, echoing from the bedroom chambers. “What are you doing up? It’s…” the voice paused. “Four O’ Clock in the morning.”

The Doctor sighed, and said, “Alright, Tech, I guess a little sleep couldn’t hurt.”

Wednesday. Ponyville. Sugarcube Corner.

“We have infiltrated what is known to be a primitive ‘sweet shop’,” said the stealth Dalek, who had turned down the volume on his communications unit. “Activating stealth armor.” The Dalek moved silently, and cautiously approached the TARDIS. He hid next to the door, and waited until morning to kidnap the Doctor for the experiment. “Come out, come out, wherever you are, Doctor.”
