The Return of Doctor Whooves

Equestria: 200 Years in the Future

Princess Celestia, Former Regent of the Sun and one of the two Royal Sisters was in what could only be described as a living Tartarus. She'd been like this for the past 100 years, and for all she knew, for the rest of her immortal lifetime. She'd been laid low, transformed into something that was undeniably not Equestrian in any sense of the word. It sickened her. Mind you, if she'd been transformed into this new body of hers of her own free will, it wouldn't have been so sickening, but no. HE had forced this upon her, and did the same thing to the rest of her kingdom, and then the rest of Equus. Not that it was called Equus anymore. No, that BASTARD (And even if Celestia rarely cursed, that foul word was the only way to describe him) had even had the outright gall to change the name of her birthplace to Alicornicopia, and change everypony in the land to fit his perfect desire, without even asking if they wanted the change to begin with.

And what did this monster change everypony in Equestria to? Alicorns! ALICORNS! He hadn't even considered the possible ramifications, the possible aftereffects of giving ponies who had no right, or the character strength or even the worthiness to becoming physical gods. It terrified her to the power certain ponies like Blueblood held. Before, he and the rest nobility, barring a few like Fancy Pants could just be a minor nuisance, trying to think up laws that would benefit them and only them, but because they could always be held back by Celestia and her sister, there could be no real problems from them. But now, they had power, and were using it to pass bigoted laws and raise taxes as they deemed fit, and Celestia nor her sister could do nothing about it, all because Luna had been sent back to the moon because she was deemed a "Possible Threat" due to her past as Nightmare Moon and Celestia herself had been dethroned and chained up in her own throne room as a symbol of the newfound power her master held over her. And what did this master call himself?

The Grand Ruler, that was his name. Although he preferred to call himself Celestal, just to mock her and show her that he held power over her, in EVERY sense of the word. He was scum, but nothing could be done about it as he and his little loyal band (Celestia could rattle them off name by name. Lightning Daze, the ever loyal second in command and a twisted mockery of Celestia's personal students. Star Bright, Lightning's little fan-girl and whore who spread her legs for him every chance she got. Rhymer... Oh him. He may have been able to rhyme alright, but not very well, and that wasn't counting the love spell Celestia KNEW he put sweet Fluttershy under. Artist, the simple artist. Celestia held out hope for him, he never seemed to be as interested in The Grand Ruler as the others. Flower Power, the very definition of the term Green Hoof. Nitro and Glycerin, the insane twins who could probably be classified as anarchists if they weren't under the Grand Ruler's thumb. Brainiac, who despite his name wasn't as intelligent as he seemed if he didn't see what the world was like.) kept order, if only in a loose sense of the word. Anypony who dared speak out, they got sent straight to the prison on Beta Five, where they were kept locked up with no chance of release or even parole. Celestia was in Tartarus and there was nothing she could do about it.

"Soooooo... My Little Pony, enjoying the day?" Celestal's snarmy voice asked her as he looked down upon her. Celestia simply spat at him, even as she was chained up in special Alicorn magic canceling chains to what was once her throne. It only added to the indignity of it all.

"So rude. I'll have to teach you some manners later. Trust me, you'll enjoy it."

"I doubt that very much, you monster." Celestia thought to herself, keeping a straight face even if she wanted to cave in Celesto's own with her fist so badly that he could never smile again. Yes, that's right. I said fist. Celestal, as soon as he came here, changed every creature on the planet to anthromorphics. Mind you, it did have some benefits, as you didn't have to hold a quill in your mouth anymore if you didn't have magic... Although everypony did so that was besides the point. Come to think of it, and Celestia had been doing nothing but thinking over the past 100 years because after all what could she do but think, there really was no point to the transformation except just for Celestal and his kind to show how superior they were like this compared to the old body style of the planetary natives.

Celestia could do nothing but sob as The Grand Ruler (She would never, EVER call him by his real name) sat upon her throne. Was this how the rest of her life was to be, chained up and shown off as a symbol of a tyrant's power and used as his plaything whenever he saw fit? She needed hope... But honestly, she doubted that would ever come back to this land. She doubted even HE would return, as the last Celestia saw of him, he had locked himself away in his box and never came out again. But then, the room was filled with what was quite possibly, the most wonderful sound in the world.

VWOOP! VWOOP! VWOOP!

There it came, that wonderful blue box, materializing into existence right in the middle of her throne room. And then, the Doctor stepped out. Celestia noted he was devoid of his usual bow tie and tweed suit.

"Well well well... The Grand Ruler is it? So pleased to finally make your acquaintance."

The sarcasm in his tone was easily noticeable by even the most dumbest of ponies.

"Who the HELL are you?" The Grand Ruler roared and the Doctor simply smiled.

"Oh, I think you know who I am." He replied back calmly. The Grand Ruler's features twisted into a rather amusing mix of surprise, rage and glee, if that were possible as realization slowly came to him.

"So you're the famous Doctor Sunbutt (Here Celestia was given a firm slap on the rump, making the Doctor emit a tiny little growl) here always cried out for in her sleep. Begging for you to save her, and now here you are." The Grand Ruler remarked with an equally calm tone in his voice and a smug look on his face as he regained his composure. "But I have to ask, how are you going to stop me, when you're just one stallion?"

"I don't need an army. You know what I once did? I ended the Last Great Time War all by myself. You are just a little issue compared to that." The Doctor stated, still calm as ever. "And to be quite frank, you look ridiculous. Blimey, I mean, three horns? What, are you compensating for a little certain something between your legs? Although between you and me, out of all the tyrants I've faced since I've made landfall on this planet, you're a heck of a lot better then Nightmarity. I mean, kill off all of her servants with dreams? ...Such a stupid plan."

"For once Doctor, you and I are in agreement. That little bitch was a fool. What I would have done was just make them have their greatest desires, in dreams of course, and all the while have them do my bidding never wiser to the fact that they were just puppets in strings." The Grand Ruler remarked.

"Alright so we agree on one thing. But attire for your servants... I'm just laughing my head off at you. Really, I must say, Power Ranger like uniforms for your little squadron? I'm sorry, but I cannot take them seriously when they wear attire like that! And I should know a thing or two about garish attire." The Doctor chuckled.

The Grand Ruler looked unamused even as the Doctor scanned the throne room with his eyes. The stained glass windows of various important points in Equestria's history had been replaced with various scenes of Lightning Daze and his little band defeating various villains, and to the Doctor's fury, Celestia being dethroned and Luna sent back to the moon with The Grand Ruler taking charge. Yet despite all of this, the Doctor still remained calm and simply raised his Sonic Screwdriver and emitted a loud piercing screech which shattered every window in the room.

"There, that's better. Don't have to look at any of those now do we?" The Doctor chuckled lightly.

"How dare you... Those were some of my finest moments!" The Grand Ruler snarled.

"Finest moments?" The Doctor asked in disgust. "Like forcing ponies to change their entire genetic make-up and changing their very culture and language? They deserve to choose for themselves. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." The Doctor said in a calm, if not somewhat rather dangerously cold tone of voice.

"Why are you so calm Doctor?" The Grand Ruler asked curiously. "I could have my elite warriors sent in here and you taken down and your machine taken away for study any time I chose."

And so the Doctor gave him his answer.

"The only reason I'm remaining calm, and you want to watch that, as being calm is when I'm at my most dangerous, is because I do not want Celestia to see how truly frightening I am when I get angry." The Doctor replied, and now The Grand Ruler was truly furious at his nation and himself supposedly being mocked, and so he sent a magical blast right at the Doctor who simply stepped aside to avoid it.

"Oh please, do you really think I'm stupid enough to take you on without a plan? ...Actually, getting back to you. You do look rather pale, have you not been getting enough sun?"

At Celestia's frightened look towards the Grand Ruler and the small whimper emitted from her, the Doctor finally pieced things together and let out a snarl, dropping all pretenses of friendliness.

"How dare you... I knew you were vile, but rape? That's just a crime I cannot live and let live. I was willing to give you a second chance, find you and your merry little band some uninhabited planet to rule over, but now I've changed my mind. No second chances, that's the kind of stallion I am." The Doctor snarled. "I knew you were coming, it was a fixed point in time after all, so I couldn't change that, but I could still get rid of you somehow. And now I'm going to send you packing!"

"And how do you expect to do that you little bitch?" The Grand Ruler laughed. "I knew you were coming as well Doctor, and I came prepared."

With that, Lightning Daze along with the rest of his squad appeared in the room in magical flashes of light in various colors.

"Oh, a trap you set for me? Has somepony been reading my Christmas List?" The Doctor asked gleefully with a little chortle. "Let me give you some advice, mate. Didn't anypony ever tell you? There's one thing you never put in a trap if you're smart. If you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there's one thing you never, ever put in a trap."

"And what's that?" The Grand Ruler asked even as Lighting Daze and company closed in and the Doctor smirked.

"Me." before he let out a whistle and a very familiar shape appeared besides the Doctor. It was a chimera like creature, with the wings of a bat and a bird, the body of a dragon, a lion's paw and a deer's antler amongst other things. This was Discord, the King of Chaos.

"Surprise!" Discord announced. "Bet you weren't expecting moi! The hall is rented, the orchestra engaged. Now it's time to see if you can dance. I suggest you better bundle up, because the forecast calls for a real storm of chaos!"

The Doctor flashed back as to how he got Discord on his side in the first place...

It was the end of the battle with Discord, the Elements of Harmony had been put back to their rightful personalities and were about to dethrone the King of Chaos. Each was boiling with rage with what Discord had done to them. He got inside their very heads, made them think things they would never dare think, twisted their very hearts and souls. And now he was going to pay.

"Really Midnight Twinkle, you and your little merry band just don't seem to get the hint. I'm Discord, I've been causing chaos since before you were even in diapers... Which gives me an idea. How would you like to re-live your childhoods?" Discord chortled with a snap of his lion's paw he conjured up diapers and pacifiers, one for each of the Mane Six. Twilight spat out hers and glared venomously at the chimera, who simply conjured up a glass of chocolate milk and drunk it dry before tossing the glass behind him and making it explode, still sitting calming on his throne.

"Chaos is a wonderful, wonderful thing, don't you all agree?"

"Not as wonderful as friendship." Twilight spat back.

"Oh, this again?" Discord asked in annoyance. "Give that tired old rhetoric a rest already will ya? I've got plenty more ideas in store for the rest of Equestria, and I'm not letting six little ponies stand in my way. Trust me, once you see what I plan to do with Canterlot, you will be laughing your heads off... Or not, seeing as how you can't seem to take a joke."

"Can we just shut this here blabbermouth up already?" Applejack asked in annoyance, having had enough of Discord.

"Ugh, gag. Fine, go ahead, try and use your little Elements. Friend me. Just make it quick. I'm missing some excellent chaos here." Discord said dryly. But just as the Elements were about to fire, there was a wheezing, groaning sound and the TARDIS appeared around Discord before vanishing as quickly as it came.

"Okay, I think I'm speaking for all of us here when I say what the Tartarus was that all about?" Rainbow demanded while Twilight looked to the sky and sighed before saying two words.

"The Doctor."

Meanwhile inside the TARDIS...

Discord stared down the pony in front of him, not intimidated in the slightest. He looked around the wrecked TARDIS and smirked.

"Really need to clean up after yourself Doctor. Got an image to maintain as Celestia's little Prince-To-Be."

The Doctor said nothing, and Discord must have mistook this as being stunned.

"Yes, I know all about you. I've heard Celestia talk about you, even when I was encased in stone. Doctor this, Doctor that. I must admit, it did make rolling my eyes quite the challenge." Discord remarked and popped his eyes out of their sockets and rolled them like dice before they reappeared back in their proper place before he found himself soundly tackled to the ground by the Doctor, who was now on top of him.

"Oh, moving a tad fast are we?" Discord chuckled. "Celestia will be so disappointed when she finds her Prince swings the other way."

The Doctor stared Discord right in the eyes.

"Now listen well and listen hard. You are going to help me dethrone a tyrant."

Discord burst out laughing.

"Now what makes you think I'll do th-" He started before the Doctor headbutted him and let Discord see exactly who he was dealing with and what he'd survived. He saw Davros fly into the jaws of the Nightmare Child, he saw how millions were killed and brought back to life in a single moment, and he saw the Skaro Degradations, the Horde of Travesties and the Could've Been King with his Army of Meanwhiles and Neverweres. Horrors unimagined by even him, absolute chaos even he could not create. He saw Hell. And throughout it all, this man, this Doctor, he survived it all and then blew up his own planet just to stop the madness. When Discord finally emerged, he looked truly terrified. For possibly what was only the second time in his life, Discord felt truly scared. And now he was muzzle to muzzle with the last survivor.

"A-Alright, I'll help." Discord stuttered out and the Doctor stared him down once more and Discord felt like he wanted to shrink away into nothingness.

"Now, let me make this clear, you leave Celestia and the rest of Equestria alone. It's only The Grand Ruler and his followers I want dealt with. If you even think of double-crossing me, and believe you me, I'll know in an instant, I'll come right back and turn you to stone myself, and no force in the universe will be able to stop me." The Doctor snarled.

Now...

Discord smirked as he snapped his lion's paw once again and the Doctor, Celestia and the TARDIS were transported outside the castle grounds just as screams of terror began to erupt from inside. What was happening, neither knew nor wanted to imagine.

"Doctor..." Celestia began slowly. "I don't even know how to begin to thank you for freeing me. But are you sure Discord can be trusted?"

"Probably not, but he's terrified of me. I placed a little something inside his head, and so I'll know if he tries anything funny." The Doctor replied before Celestia then figured out how to properly thank the Doctor and gave him a very passionate kiss on the lips.

"I've been wanting to do that for years." Celestia said and the Doctor hung his head, and that earned him a quizzical look.

"Yes... Well, sadly you won't get a chance to do it again. I've been doing some thinking, giving the universe a fair-well tour." The Doctor said sadly.

"Doctor... What are you saying?" Celestia asked, even though she already knew.

"Celestia, I've been doing a lot of running, and I think it's time I stopped. I'm on my last body, no more regenerations for me. Eventually, somepony or something will get lucky, or this body will wear out from old age, and... No more Doctor." The Doctor stated with a tone of sadness and defeat before he threw his Sonic Screwdriver on the ground and raised one hoof before he stomped on it, rendering it to just various small pieces.

"Besides... You, your sister, R.I.F.T and the Elements, all of them, they can handle anything. I think it's time for a nice quiet retirement. Who knows what I'll do, maybe become a beekeeper, worked out for that detective after all." The Doctor said and stepped into his TARDIS and Celestia let a tear slip from her eye as the madman and his box time-warped away for what would probably be the last time...
