Chapter 7

Inside the Equine County Prison Blueblood was staring at the ceiling of his cell looking back on his life as the clock ticked closer to his execution. While Blueblood was reflecting a guard came in and said he had a visitor. When Blueblood heard that he was a bit worried about who it was. Blueblood's fear was calmed when he saw that his visitor was his former friend Wind Rider. Wind rider pulled up a stool and began talking with Blueblood for this would be the very last time he could.

“ What do you want traitor,” Blueblood said in an upset tone.

“ Buford I’m sorry I testified against you but I can, t be a part of this anymore,” Wind Rider replied.

“ You were my only friend and you turned on me when I needed you most why would you do that?” Blueblood asked.

“ After you resorted to kidnapping and hurting innocent people you went way too far and I could not follow someone who would betray our military oath,” Wind Rider replied as he placed his fist over his heart.

“ What happened to you after I retired seven years ago?” Wind Rider asked his former friend.

“ When you left I was left at the mercy of our squad mates who kept torturing me for two years until Captain Renard decided to enlist me for a secret mission he was conducting,” Blueblood replied with tears in his eyes.

“ Guess my grand daughter wasn’t the only one to lose their way because of my absence,” Wind Rider said as he felt sad a bit.

“ I may have gotten everyone’s respect after Renard's mission but after he was declared guilty of causing the Helios 6 incident I was dishonorably discharged. I was lucky they did not lock me up,” Blueblood said as he motioned to his current circumstance.

“ I'm sorry I can't stop this execution Captain Bullet really wants you dead for hurting his son,” Wind Rider apologized to Blueblood.

“ I guess this is the end for me. Wind promise me two things before you go. One promise to come visit my grave every year on this day if you can and two always be there for your grand daughter it may be too late for me but she still has her whole life ahead of her I’m sorry if I thought my job was more important than our oath,” Blueblood said as the guard came back to escort Wind Rider outside.

“ I promise,” Wind Rider said as he saluted Blueblood for the last time.

The guard escorted Wind Rider outside the Prison. Wind Rider left to ask Silver Bullet if he could let him handle Blue blood’s funeral. Silver Bullet agreed to Wind Rider's request.

Two hours later Blueblood was being escorted to the execution grounds where he was strapped into the electric chair with Silver Bullet holding the switch ready to zap him. But before he could execute him Bullet allowed Blueblood to say his final words.

“ I know the students of CHS can, t hear me or will forgive me for what I done but I would like to say I’m sorry for everything,” Blueblood said with tears in his eyes.

With Blue blood’s final words said Bullet pulled the switch and 10”000 volts of electricity entered Blue blood’s body electrocuting all his internal organs and leaving his body ready to be taken to the Soldier Hill cemetery where California's most honored war heroes were buried. Wind Rider had that arranged as his final gift for his closest friend.

Meanwhile in front of the Museum of Equestrian History Larry Lyra and Trixie witnessed the beginning of Nightmare Moon's eternal night. Larry had no idea where to begin looking for the tablet since Equestria was new to him. Just as Larry was about to give up Twilight came out of the Museum with a unicorn who looked a lot like Sherlock Holmes.

“ Perhaps I could be of assistance Mr. Daley?” The Sherlock Holmes pony said as he tipped his hat.

“ How did you know my name?” Larry asked as he knew what he would say next.

“ Elementary my good man from the way you trot you seem like your not use to being on all fours meaning you're not from Equestria and judging from your cutie mark I say you must be a night guard and from your accent you come from a part of your world that’s the equivalent of manehatten and Twilight told me your name on the way out,” Sherlock replied as he explained his deduction.

“ The name is Sherlock Hooves by the way,” Sherlock added knowing what Larry's next question would be.

Larry asked Twilight when she got here. Twilight told them after Larry's encounter with the Clouds-dale Empire she teleported back inside but on the other side of the museum. She found Larry and Lyra when they were eavesdropping on Trixie's plan but did not want to blow their cover. On her way to find them she saw an exhibit on Victorian Equestria and enlisted the help of Sherlock Hooves. Larry asked if Sherlock can deduce where all four villains went. Sherlock pulled out his magnifying glass and scanned the area until he found a big scorch mark left behind by a very powerful teleportation spell. He also found traces of crystal dust plaster and wax among the scorch mark indicating the spell could not handle their wax and sculpted bodies without some damage. He then noticed hoof prints containing crystal dust heading far north. Wax hoof prints heading for the bad lands and another set heading towards the Everfree Forest. Sherlock explained his deductions and Larry and the others began to plan how to stop the villains.

Meanwhile on the soccer field at CHS Silver shared the word that Blueblood was executed and the students cheered for joy. The student built a fire pit in the center of the field and began throwing all of Blue blood’s banners posters and everything else used to reflect his narcissism into it while Applejack climbed on top of the announcer's booth near the top of the stands with her bow and arrows. Applejack lit the tip of one of her arrows on fire and shot it into the fire pit. The students watched in amazement as the giant bonfire Pinkie and the students set up roared to life. Celestia and Luna approved this bonfire under the condition that everyone cleaned up the mess before they leave. Celestia figured the students deserved to have some fun after all the stress and pressure their former nephew put them through. Luna came in to check on her sister to see how she was doing.

“ Tia don, t you want to join in on the fun pinkie was kind enough to invite us to join them,” Luna said as she felt her sister sadness.

“ Why don't you go ahead Lulu I have some important paperwork to do,” Celestia said as she did not feel like talking right now.

“ OK I will be on the soccer field if you change your mind,” Luna said as she left.

Back on the soccer field the students were dancing around the bonfire and roasting marshmallows. Silver and Bonbon were talking with the Humane Six. Sunset told Silver Lyra would come back because Principal Celestia told her she called the Museum and they said they would return the portal and by my calculation it should be back by Friday night. Silver felt relieved to hear his mint colored soul mate would be coming back soon. Silver and Bonbon joined the rest of the students in the festivities.

Meanwhile near the front of the school Derpy was staring at the night sky. Derpy always hoped she would find that someone that would love her for who she was. While Derpy was stargazing a familiar Scottish accent spoke behind her.

“ You know I can show you the stars up close,” The voice said.

Derpy turned around and was happy to see the man she met at the park before.

“ DOCTOR,” Derpy shouted with joy.

“ I'm glad to see you too Ms hooves,” The doctor said as Derpy hugged him.

After Derpy let go she asked the Doctor what he meant by up close. The doctor pointed to his blue box and then snapped his fingers. The doors on the box opened and what was inside really blew Derpy's mind.

“ Its iiiiiiiiits iits bigger on the inside?” Derpy stuttered as she tried to find the right words to say.

“ This is the TARDIS it travels through time and space and occasionally to other dimensions,” the Doctor explained as he circled the console.

“ So all of time and space wherever whenever where do you want to start?” the Doctor asked as he invited Derpy to come with him.

Derpy accepted his invitation and he began playing with some of the knobs and levers on the console. The TARDIS began to wheeze and the lights inside the control room began to spin. When the noise died down and the lights stopped spinning The doctor opened the doors and told Derpy to look outside. What Derpy saw really amazed her. She saw the Earth from way up in space.

“ Lovely isn’t it well that is just the beginning there are hundreds of universes out there and we have all of time and space to see everything,” the Doctor said as he and derpy watched the Earth.

Meanwhile back at the Museum of Natural History Moon Dancer was studying for her civil war test when she noticed Lyra's phone lying in front of the stage coach. Moon Dancer picked it up and turned it on. Moon Dancer was touched by Lyra's home screen background of her and Silver together. But that was not what Moon Dancer was interested in she was more interested in the message from Bonbon telling Lyra it was safe to come back home. Moon Dancer put Lyra's phone inside her backpack and continued studying. She figured it would be safe to keep Lyra's phone with her until Lyra came back from wherever she was.

Author's Note

if your wondering I might include Lightning dust in a future chapter since Wind Rider is her grandfather. I assumed they were related somehow.
