Doctor Whooves - A Masterful Discording

The mysterious alicorn trotted forward with heavy hoofsteps. Emerging out of the shadows and mists, the appearance taking the resemblance of Nightmare Moon’s. She galloped and leapt in the air resulting in a striking land on the Doctor. Pinned down against the soft carpet, it really didn’t hurt that much, but the heavy hoof on his body did.

“Where and when did you arrive?!” The Doctor felt threatened by the booming voice.

“I...I...I don’t understand how this is relevant to the current…” the Doctor replied with stutters and a weak voice but was cut off before he could finish

“Just answer my question!”

In a feeble voice the Doctor replied again, “Two months ago, the fourth of May.”

Princess Celestia was shocked and angered that her sister would dare attack the Doctor, “Sister! What in the name of Equestria is this!”

Nightmare Moon ignored her and asked the Doctor yet another question, “ Who is Rose?”

The name… he heard the name yet again. The painful memories flushed back into his mind, the day he lost her. The traumatic reminiscence left with a tear in it’s wake. The single tear trickled down his face, Nightmare Moon backed off and transformed back into the loving and peaceful Princess Luna.

“My apologies Doctor, I was afraid you were a clone like the other one I saw in Manehatten.” The loud booming voice of before was now was tranquil and calm.

“What clone?” The Doctor sounded just as surprised as Celestia.

“Back, while I was doing some errands in Manehatten, I saw you walking down the street, so I came to greet you, more so the clone. Just as I approached it, the clone started chasing after other ponies that were around, trying to attack them.”

“It did what?!” Princess Celestia stared at Luna with her eyes widened.

“But then I tackled it towards the ground, suddenly it just vanished. Last thing I saw was thin streams of blue light ascending into the sky.”

“Sounds very much like a hologram. A hologram is a, sort of a virtual clone. Somepony is controlling the movements and actions of it, and designed to look like me. More so, the light of the hologram beamed back into the sky, meaning that the transmitter is probably on an airship. Sounds vaguely familiar to somepony who would do this, but it can’t be possible,” the Doctor started pacing slowly back and forth as he spoke, his voice spoken like a scientist who just won first prize for an invention.

“My dear Doctor, I would like you and Ditzy to investigate the happenings of this occurrence,” Princess Celestia asked respectfully.

“I would love too.” The Doctor replied back cheerfully.

“Come on Ditzy back to the Tardis, we’ll have a big day tomorrow.”

“Ok Doctor. By the way, what’s happening?” Ditzy didn’t seem to have paid attention to what happened.

“I’ll tell you back on the way.” The Doctor sounded annoyed but gave a small smile,after all, it was Ditzy.

“Doctor! It would be a pleasure if you stayed the night here at Canterlot castle. We’ll have a bed ready for you and Ditzy, think of it as my apology.” Luna had a face like she was a suspect for a crime.

“Thank you that would be lovely.”

Luna personally escorted them to their rooms, a luminous shade of dark blue opened the door. The trotted at a slow pace, nudging in a conversation along the way. Though it took many tries, in the end the Doctor managed to properly explain the current situation to Ditzy. It took several turn to reach the bedrooms, as the doors opened, there was a stunning display of renovation. There was the same carpet, now the colour had changed to a clear blue with a tone of turquoise. The beds themselves were already luxurious enough, a queen sized bed with silken, pale pink pillow topped off with a summer, triple refined cotton blanket.

Ditzy had already went to sleep, she looked so innocent, so lovely. Luna said her goodbye and left the two to sleep peacefully. Outside was a balcony connected to the front castle wall, the Doctor rested his hooves upon the marble railing. Off in the horizon, the sun started to set, surrounding it were beautiful shades of pink, yellow, orange and light purple.  The Doctor finished off his thoughts and dozily trotted off to bed, falling asleep.

o.O.o

The Doctor woke up to the bright rays of light in his eyes, rubbing his eyes, he noticed that Ditzy was not in bed. The Doctor looked at his watch, the time read as 15 past 7, the odd thing really, was that Ditzy never woke up before 8 o’clock. Realizing that something was wrong, the Doctor went out into the main hall searching for her. In his searching, there were absolutely no guards anywhere to be seen, he quickly rushed to the throne room to see Celestia. The doors were sealed tight, the Doctor tried tackling the door, but even that would not work. The doors suddenly opened as the Doctor went for another swing, he stumbled across the floor muzzle first, he forced himself up, he comforted his injured muzzle. As his head lifted up, the sight he saw horrendous, Princess Celestia was lying unconscious on the floor, the vital scan reading form the sonic screwdriver told her dead, but she was still breathing.

‘The Doctor, the man who keeps running, never looking back, ‘cause he dare not out of shame,’ the eerie voice echoed throughout the room, still lingering after it had finished. Drums started playing, *tat tat tat tat*, all playing in a rapid session. The drumming began to crescendo, crazed insane laughs followed. ‘No...no… it can’t be, not him!’ the Doctor’s mind raged with drumming and laughter. Ultimately, mist appeared from thin air, within held two silhouettes, one shaped as a pony, the other with the body parts of various animals. The Doctor succumbed to the insanity, as a result, he was never to be seen again, Equestria was plunged into great chaos.

o.O.o

The Doctor woke with a start, his heart pounding in his chest, breathing rapidly. Droplets of sweat saturated his brown coat, his fur was all scruffy and messy, a chilling tingle went down his spine. Stupefied, he darted his head around. It was already morning, Ditzy was still in bed, sleeping soundly. This was the first nightmare he had in ages, but was it so real. Technically, it was meant to be a nightmare, yet all the factors in the nightmare made it seem so realistic. If it was real, then Equestria would be in great danger.

Submerged deep within his sub-conciseness, the Doctor tried forgetting the dream and moving on. There was a gentle knock on the door

“Come in”, the Doctor was still tired.

“The Princess demands to see you immediately,” there was a guard outside waiting for him.

“Ok, just let get dress first.”

The Doctor put on his coat and tie, Ditzy was still asleep so he left her as she was. He exited the room and started making his way to Celestia. Making his way through the great hallways and corridors, the Doctor finally reached the throne room. Celestia sat upon her throne, as always.

“Doctor please let me introduce you to the fellow ponies who shall be accompanying you.”

The door behind, opened, to reveal six young ponies.

“This is Applejack.”

“Howdy sir.” There stood a orange pony, with yellow mane and tail, she had a cutie mark as an apple.

“... Pinkie Pie.”

“Hello, hello, hello, hello.” Seemingly the Doctor could notice that Pinkie Pie was energetic. She was a sweet, yet hyper pink pony.

“... Rainbow Dash.” Rainbow Dash was a pony like no other, and as to her name, her mane and tail were colored rainbow.

“Hey.” She spoke in a rough voice, but was kind and calm.

“...Rarity.”

“Salutations my good sir.” Noble she spoke, in a tone of manner and sophistication. A white pony with a beautiful purple mane and tail.

“… And last but not least, my faithful student Twilight Sparkle.”

“Hello sir.”

The six ponies lined up in front of the Doctor, all ready to begin.

“They’ll help on your investigation Doctor.”
