Experience, as Doctor Sparkle charts the seas to find a cure for the disease that has been plaguing the world for years.

All races are treated equally in this alternate version of Equestria, and 95% of the planet is water. Everyone in this world was born into the same races, families, names, and even personalities, just different events took place. Cutie Marks don't even exist in this alternate world either, and magic is used at it's fullest by every species. And Twilight never became a princess! Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is the only real Alicorn here, let alone a princess... besides her daughter Flurry Heart. Twilight got a Ph.D. in science, and her only friend is a Blue Pheonix. Oh, and she lost her left eye.

Chapter 1

It started on a dark and stormy night when I was fighting an untamed Sea Hydra, all I wanted to do was sail to Roiyaru before this thing attacked me! Nonetheless, it had 32 heads instead of the usual 3 or 16. I'd have been dead were it not for the fact that my vessel, named the S.S. Excess, was made entirely out of Duranium (1 Cubic Kilogram lighter than a feather; a quarter of a Cubic gram stronger than a large diamond). I unsheathed my (Duranium) Purazumaken as l knew this called for desperate measures, and I had to remember that decapitating a Hydra only had there be more heads to take care of.

Twilight held her Purazumaken up near her eyes to observe her surroundings in the blade's reflection, awaiting an attack from a head. A head from 6:00 went right at her, and she swung her Purazumaken directly at it while keeping her eyesight in front of her. The blade vertically silced all the way through the head like it was nothin', and she did the same to the next dozen heads to charge at her; blood and guts splattered all over the place. She had to grab her Purazumaken by her hooves to stab through the floor and hang on when a head managed to grab a hold of her back legs, but she accidentally pressed the button on the hilt that activates the line of plasma.

"Fenikkusu! Aid me!"

Fenikkusu (her blue pheonix friend) flew down to peck the eyes out of the Hydra head, and his fiery temperatures cooked up a nice meal out of its eyes for him to snack on later.

"Thanks, Fenikkusu."

"Look out!"

She then swung her Purazumaken in the direction that Fenikkusu rose his wing towards in his warning, and that brought another head down after the one Fenikkusu killed.

"I always forget about your unmatched reaction time, Twilight."

"*sigh* Well, now we have 15 down and 17 to go. Alae!"

"Alae" is the spell of wings, it summons beautiful wings of pure light for as long as the caster needs them. She used the wings from the spell to gain a mobility advantage against the rest of the Hydra's heads, and she killed the remaining seventeen heads easily.

Little did I know, There was also a master head resting down below. T'was a difficult battle, but I ended up needing for Fenikkusu to distract the head so that I could head underwater to finish the beast off with a bloody slice through the heart. When I got back onto the S.S. Excess, the dead head fell down and a tooth landed right through me.

"Twilight! You're hurt!"

"Just a flesh wound. Recuperatio!"

"Recuperatio" was the spell of complete flesh restoration, one cast and any live being including the caster will immediately recover from any physical injury and permanantly dissipating any substance to have caused the injury and remained inside.

It seemed that the Hydra is what caused the storm as it vanished when the Hydra died, it was then that I noticed the blood and organs all over the deck and polluting the water. I heard an owl come by, it was the same owl that my brother, Shining Armor, had always used to send me a message. I read the message it had for me that time.

"Dearest Twilight,

I need you back at Kessho as soon as possible, it's urgent!

-Shining Armor"

"I guess we need to head home then, Twilight."

"Yeah, but the S.S. Excess needs repairs anyways."

Chapter 2

When I got back to Kessho, Shining Armor was at the harbor waiting for me. With him was a member of his Dragon Troop, this guard's name was Kori.

"Welcome home, Twilight, Fenikkusu."

"Good to see you, Shining Armor, Kori."

"What happened to your ship?" Said Kori

I explained what happened with the Hydra.

"Well, we can get your ship repaired easily."

"Thanks, Shining Armor. But what do you need me for?"

"Oh, right. Gan has started spreading to Kessho, and it's going crazy!"

Gan was a disease that crippled every bone in the host's body in minutes. It used to be completely isolated on Mura and only spread through short distance air travel, but now it had started spreading across the sea!

I was then sent for a meeting, to discuss Gan.  The meeting featured me, Fenikkusu, Shining Armor, Kori, Kaen(The general of Shining Armor's Dragon Troop), and my sister-in-law Princess Cadence. There was also Dr. Discorded Hooves, if only I knew that he was the creator of Gan.

"It's hard to believe that Gan was able to spread like this" Said Kaen

"True, but we need to figure out how to cure this disease." Said Cadence

"Based on these reports of when each patient was infected, it seems that Gan has been spreading through a longer range of air travel." Said Twilight

"True, but there's still no answer as to how." Said Kori

"What about you, Doc? What's your say in the matter?" Said Cadence

"I say we figure this out from the source, we'll need someone to go to Mura." Said Hooves

"I'd have to agree, Maru may contain the info we need." Said Fenikkusu

We all settled that Fenikkusu and I would sail to Maru to learn more on the matter, with the aid of the Dragon Troop.

Prologue [Edited by self]

This young stallion is named "Anonylyth", his parents passed away. Anonylyth flies across the seas by himself, until finding what he was looking for: Ye Olden Home of Twilight.

Yes! I found it! Now I can learn the true history of 'Twilight Sparkle the Mysterium'!

It is no ordinary home, as it is a sunken vessel with a faint silhouette as the only indication of where it is. It is 9,001 miles down below the surface, which would take so long to get down to that none know how to last under without drowning or collapsing. Except...

"Immortalitatem!"

He knows the Immortal Curse, a curse that grants complete immortality for a time ranging from one minute to ten years. The only source in which anyone can learn it belonged to Twilight Sparkle the Mysterium, who was also the only one ever to know how to cast it. The only downside is that when it ends, it has a chance of instantly killing the user that bases on nine times the amount of years it on. Anonylyth's intentions are to use it for the ten-year length and spread the history of Twilight Sparkle the Mysterium to the rest of the world, even if it means suicide.

Anonylyth swims all the way down to the sunken vessel while under the Immortal Curse, taking a month of his time away. He's surprised to find it in only two pieces when he does get down there, there's even an air pocket down there. And there they are the journals of Dr. Sparkle, all perfectly set up on a bookshelf. Also, Twilight's skeleton is down there. Even in death, she still dons that brown robe and elegant cape of lavender. She even still has her signature "Purazumaken", a Katana that has a button on it that activates a blue line of plasma running across one side of the blade. Anonylyth picks it up and pressed the button, and it surprisingly still flawlessly worked.

Anonylyth notices a quill resting on the page of an unfinished journal, "I remember it clearly, I discovered just how long the Immortal Curse can last for ten years ago. But if my calculations are correct, then there should be a 90% chance that this will be the day tha-- aaaaagh...". That was all it said, she clearly died while writing. And she groaned as she did.

Uhhh... if she was dying while trying to write this, then why is the groan written down? I mean, she wouldn't write it, she'd say it! Ugh! Whatever."

Nonetheless, Anonylyth looks through the journals and finds that they're all numbered 1-20. He started reading the first one: "Doctor of the Seas I: Infectivity".
