Ugggghhh....
Psssttt! Colgate! Get up now!
Colgate blinked wearily, rolling off of her small pile of what Discord called a 'fit mattress for a servant'. She looked around slowly, quickly finding the source of the very annoying noises. In a heavily shadowed area of the servants room was the shape of a stallion. Colgate took a step back, unsure of the shadows intentions.
"Who are you and what do you want?" She tried to look farther into the shadows, straining her eyes.
"My names not important and I’m here to help you find the elements of harmony. I know where they are and I know you need them. Please come before Discord finds out!" The pony pulled back, letting the shadows roll over him till he was unseen. Colgate hesitated for a moment before following him. The worst that could happen was for the pony to be Discord in disguise, right?
She snuck out the door that the pony had left through and crept down the hallway, faintly catching a glimpse of her target rounding a corner. She galloped as silently as possible, being sure not to lose her possible savior. Colgate rushed around corner after corner, pausing momentarily in a shadowy corner as a few Discorded guards passed by before hurrying past. She was just beginning to breathe hard when she almost slammed into the lead pony when she rounded a corner.
The place they had stopped at was a shady room, moonlight flowing in from the old, broken stained glass windows. The windows where so dusty that it was surprising that they even stood anymore. The mysterious stallion stood in the moonlight and Colgate finely got a good look at him. He had a yellow orange mane and tail, both slightly wavy. His coat reminded her of a TARDIS like blue and his black suit gave him a sinister look. The suit was pitch black and doubled ended, accompanied with a white collar and a red bowtie. The suit covered his cutie mark, making Colgate curious to what his special talent might be. Perhaps a butler cutie mark? The stallions eyes weren’t very bright, almost a grey with just a faint color of yellow.
"Come on, they shouldn’t be too far now. There in one of the dungeons under Canterlot castle." As he said it, the stallion grabbed the handle to a trap door Colgate had not seen in his telekinetic grip. The blue glow yanked a couple of times until the door finally opened, clouds of dust dispersing into the already musky room around. The stallion began to climb down steps into the dark unknown of the castle dungeon.
"Wait! I don’t think I ever caught your name." Colgate called down, about to step down after him. The stallions head popped back up, a grimace on his face.
"Names aren’t very important you know." He looked up at her and she frowned slightly.
"I don’t care, I just need something to call you and I have a feeling the writer of this story is getting board with continuously writing 'the stallion'." Colgate looked down at the stallion and watched as the sides of his lips turned up slightly.
"Some ponies are so stubborn. Okay, but you can’t tell anyone else my name, got it? Call me Koschei." And with that Koschei slipped down the hole. Colgate followed.
"WAIT!" A strong accented voice called out after Colgate making her stops before she went down. An orange mare ran up next to her, her breath coming in large heaves.
"The...The doc...Doctor told me ta find yah. Are you Minnuet?" Colgate’s ears perked at the name. Only she and The Doctor new about her mother picked name, meaning The Doctor must have been in trouble.
"Where I he?!?!" Colgate practically screamed. The earth pony mare took a step back, a look of pity growing on her face.
"Ahm sorry sugarcube, but... Discord did sumthin to him, made him fall to the ground. He looked like he was in a lot of pain. He told me to come find yah and to help ya defeat Discord, said ya needed me ta find the elements or sumthin like that." Colgate felt like her insides where going to explode from her overflowing emotions. She had to save The Doctor. She HAD to.
“I need you to do something applejack. Go find princess Celestia and tell her that it’s urgent. She has to teleport you to the resistance base. As soon as you get there tell every pony to get out because Discord will be able to track down the spell. Then go find the other elements and tell them to get to the castle as soon as possible. Tell them that we have the elements. Today Discord goes down!" And with that Colgate ran down the hole and out of sight.
Earlier...
"What? Wait What? WHAT?!?!?" The Doctor shouted, unable to control his surprise.
"What’s wrong Doctor? Draconoquis got your tong?" Discord held out a tong he had magically appeared in his hand.
"But you...We...We where teleported by the void ship beam! How did we end up in the castle? Unless..." Discord giggled at The Doctors shocked look. The Doctor looked out the stained glass window at the sky, unable to believe where they were.
"It took a while, but to tell you the truth, Equestrian aren’t that big. Especially compared to the vast interior of a void ship. Besides, it was all worth the trouble just seeing that look on your face!" the creature broke out in laughs all over again. The fact that the whole of Equestrian was all stuffed into a spaceship that was traveling through the void was a little unnerving.
"But enough of that, a little birdie told me that they wanted you caught and saved for them. I don’t see why I shouldn’t have my own fun in the mean time." A magical glow surrounded The Doctor and he was lifted into the air and levitated towards Discord.
"Let me go Discord!"The Doctor said, trying to hold his anger under control. He looked back at Applejack, who just stood there, scared stiff.
"Run Applejack! Go find Colgate! She’s a blue unicorn and she needs help! Help her find the Elements!" The Doctor was dumped to the ground, gravity weighing down harder onto him than should be. He tried to move but to no success.
"Now I promised to capture you and keep you under protection. This will not only help me keep track of you, but it should also give me access to untold information!" The draconoquis began to chuckle, all humor disappearing."And it shouldn’t hurt a bit if you cooperate."
A sudden jolt rocketed into The Doctor’s body, yanking his body. When the shock died down he tried to relax, getting ready to make a witty replied to the monster before him.
Ahhhgggggg!
Another shock ran through his body. This time it reached his mind. The Doctor slammed his eyes shut and tried to block out the creature trying to enter his mind.
"RUN APPLEJACK! GO FIND COLGATE NOW!" The Doctor heard hoof beats and was relieved to know that something would go right.
Another shock ran through his body, but this time it didn’t eave. His hind legs had grown cold and heavy and his back burned as if something where trying to burst out of it. A voice began to speak in The Doctors head, but The Doctor ignored it, fighting all the pain away. He had been through worse for sure. He had to hold out the monster.
You know the pain is too great to deny.
Images started to form in his mind and the voice began to break through.
Images of Rose and the clone Doctor went through his head. His envy of the two growing.
Generosities are a gift, but only to others, so why give it?
The Doctor continued to try, but the images and words just wouldn’t go away.
Images of Donna noble surfaced, of her with her lost memory.
Honesty is a sign of trust, but lies are easier to take
Images of the master, his insane mind and the crazy drumbeat everywhere.
Laughing is fun, until they start laughing at you
The picture of the Daleks came next, filling The Doctor with a vast rage and hate.
Kindness warms hearts, but cruelty gets you further
Galifrey in ashes, all the timelords dead, no words could match the pain.
Loyalty towards friends is important, fame and duties even more.
Blackness filled The Doctor’s vision in his closed eyes. The picture that came next was what he had dreaded ever since the day he had found her. Colgate lay in an unmoving heap, no regeneration able to save her anymore.
Friendship is magic, but where are all of your friends now Doctor?
Applejack ran as fast as she could towards the princess’s chambers, ignoring the shouts of her pursuers she had been seen by in her rush. She looked back, quickly skipping a step as she bucked the closest ones face in.
"And that goes for your mom to!" She shouted. She looked back forward and...
"Whoaaaaa Nellie!" Applejack used her quick reflexes, swinging the door open that she was about to hit, swinging around, and closing it behind her. A series of slams hit on the other side of the door as her pursuers forgot to slow down.
Applejack sighed, willing away her sweat with a hoof.
"That's one way to get them Discord ponies off a yer heels!"
Clap
Clap
Clap
Applejack spun around to see none other than Celestia sitting on a faded mattress, grinning slightly and clapping her hoofs together. Applejack could feel the blush of pride rise to her face.
"Very nice moves my little pony. Many you'll have more chance to use them in the future, but judging by your look I have the feeling that you came here to see me?" The urgency of the matter sprung back into applejacks mind.
"Princess! I need you to teleport me to that there resistance base! The Doctor told me to help Colgate and she said that..."
"Please, you have to stay calm. Yes I will help you, but you have to be quick out of there before Discord comes, I'll try to stall him as best as I can." Applejack heard Celestia sigh and suddenly the youthful looking princess seemed to grow old before her eyes. A golden Hugh evolved from the princess’s horn and continued to grow larger each second until the whole room glowed. Soon a vortex of magic surrounded AJ, spinning around her at colossal speeds. She could barely see Celestia’s strain through the field and tried to call out to her to not strain herself, but nothing seemed to reach her ears, for at that moment many things happened at once.
Discord, king of choose came through the door with a Discorded Doctor at his heels. That Doctor, as soon as he saw that light, let out a shout and let out a magical Burt of energy of his own, trying and failing to remove the chaotic magic from his mind, but ended up collapsing to the ground in a heap. Also in that moment, applejack vanished right as she cried out to Celestia,"don't strain yourself" and that sentence drifted into the time vortex of which applejack had momentarily entered in her teleportation.
That sentence carried through time and space and eventually reached the metallic ears of a cyber man. That cyber man suddenly sprung a circuit that helped it feel emotions again, but it decided not to go insane like any other one would. This cyber man decided to help its brother in become human again and began to turn on the emotional panel of a whole fleet of cyber man who went mad from it. The master cyber man decided to blame the whole things on the daleks and sent a massive army to delete them all. The daleks in turn wanted to exterminate and this whole mess created a forty-two year war, killing off five races and ending the existence of potatoes.
But back to the story...
Twilight, the real-life-not-supposed-to-be-in-a-different-world Twilight, was taking a nap. After finding all of this worlds elements, it seemed that no pony had any use for her. The other five where chatting away about past and what to do in the present while Twilight was lost. Nopony even looked at her! It was like they tried to avoid her gaze or something, and it made her pretty angry.
"Maybe I should just..."
A huge flash of light blinded Twilight as she was talking to herself.
"Twilight! I need your...help?" Now standing in front of Twilight was dazed applejack. Her eyes seemed a little jittery, but her confusion was obvious. Before the newly appeared element could comment, Twilight raised a hoof.
"No I’m not your Twilight and the explanation would be too long. Come with me, I’ll take you to the others." Twilight trudged towards the door, not caring if the earth pony followed her or not. Twilight didn’t care what happened in this world and she had already given up hope of ever getting back to her home. Twilight trotted through the corridor, its cave like interior making it obvious that it was underground. At the first door to the left Twilight turned, promptly pushing open the door and shuffling in. No pony looked up and Twilight didn’t feel like shouting, so she used her magic. A few protests sounded as every pony was picked up and put to the floor facing the door.
"Oh, hello darling. Why dare I ask, have you so rudely moved us?" Rarity frowned slightly and Twilight smiled.
"Presenting the one the only, APPLEJACK ELEMENT OF HONESTY!!!!! Pinkie shouted, throwing everyone off guard. Twilight didn’t even know how Pinkie pie knew, but after so many crazy years of knowing her own pinkie pie, she knew not to ask. And at that out walked applejack. A soft smile grew on her frowning lips, but she held a hoof up before anypony could say anything.
"I need help. The Doctor and Colgate need us gals to defeat Discord NOW. Colgate has got the elements and has told us to meet her at the castle as soon as possible." Every pony cheered, hope flowing into them anew. Discord would be defeated. Twilight watched, feeling as if she were watching a movie. She herself just dropped her hope. If The Doctor and Colgate couldn’t just bring the elements to them, they must be in trouble. Lots of trouble. This meant that even less chance of getting back home existed.
“TO THE TRAIN!!!!" Pinkie shouted and off they went.
Celestia fell limp against her restraints, giving up her struggle to be released from the black licorice twist chains. How she despised the candy. Beside her, Colgate also struggled, a scowl plastered onto the usually bright face. They were in the throne room, attached to the wall next to Discords thrown. The draconoquis sat there, a smirk on his lips, his eyes on his beautiful prize. A Crumpled heap known as the former Doctor lay on the ground near the opposite wall.
"My dear Celestia, did you really think you could get away with this? You know what? IT was so funny that I want to watch it again!"
A random TV screen and popcorn popped into existence out of nowhere and Celestia watched as events from the past two hours rolled on the screen.
Celestia ran as fast as she could, following Colgate’s magic essence. She skidded around a turn, the objected room in sight. She rushed into it and down the trapped door passage way. The darkness grew around her, but never once touched her own skin as the light of the sun faintly held her in its grasp. Down the stairs she went and through the hallway, the broken rails of long forgotten dungeons past by her vision.
"Going somewhere?" A deep voice echoed into the murky dungeon. She tried to run faster, but Discord soon appeared, intercepting her path. Celestia ignored him and teleported around, continuing to run.
"You can’t get away Celestia. I could take you with a snap of my talons, but you know what? I’m curious to know where you’re going." Discord disappeared. Celestia slowed a bit, but still kept a steady gallop down the dusty corridor. She broke her run and stopped dead as her target began to come towards her.
"Celestia! I need your help!" The blue mare known as Colgate ran towards her, a unicorn stallion in a suit at her heals. their horns glowed brightly, suspending a group of glittering necklaces in the air. We have to get these to the element holders before Discord find us!" Celestia grinned as hope grew in her, but was instantly crushed as she watched in horror the events unfold before her. Discord appeared suddenly and Colgate screamed. A length of black rope wrapped around her hooves and head as if it were alive. The elements she had been holding fell to the floor with a loud clank. Another blue magic grasped them quickly, pulling them away from the draconoquis.
"well well well. Now who could this be?" Discord took sudden interest in the stallion holding the elements.
"I don’t remember hiring you. hmmmm..." Celestia sparked her magic, focusing on the stallion
"Well Discord," The stallion smirked, "It starts with the letter M" And then h was gone. The stallion and elements had disappeared in a shock of white light. Discord spun on Celestia, glowering down on her and watched the rope crawl over her body.
"The punishment for resistance is being turned into a barn animal, but I think you two would be so much more fun to watch if you had to eat your way out of your prison to keep from starving to death.
The draconoquis grinned evilly and the three where teleported to the throne room...
"Discord!" The TV disappeared to reveal nine ponies who had come in. Six of them, the element bearers, where dressed with a necklace each, all of them showing their holders cutie mark. The violet unicorn who stood in front had a crown. To the side stood the princess of the night and another copy of the violet unicorn, this one without any crown or battle scars. The other pony was a stallion.
"Well, if it isn’t the dreaded elements of harmony! We have the giggle master, the speeder, the fighter, the fashionista, the farmer, and the book worm. Two book worms in fact! And over here we have the evil sister and the retriever of the elements of harmony, the mysterious Mr.M if you don’t mind me calling. I still haven’t found who you could be. Now do your worst elements!" Discord gave an evil laugh and watched the ponies line up in formation. Slowly their magic glowed and each was lifted into the air. Celestia watched the rainbow of magic shoot towards Discord as if in slow motion. The draconoquises face twisted in terror and he coward down.
snap
Celestia had just caught the smirk on Discords face as he snapped his fingers appearing instantaneously in the spot that had been occupied by Koschei (as Colgate knew the mysterious stallion as). A loud boom sounded and all occupying the room where blinded.
When Celestia could again see, what greeted her was a surprise. Discord was standing there, a confused look trying to be hidden on his face. The element bearers had dropped to the ground and all had looks of terror to discover that heir plan had failed. Next to her, Colgate was shaking viciously, trying to shout towards some pony. All this was there, but what caught Celestia’s attention the most was the Stallion in the center of the throne room. His body was slowly being covered in stone and the look on his face was one of pure agony. The stone was up to the stallion’s neck before, to every ponies surprise, it stopped. And then slightly, ever so slightly, it started to recede. Before long the stone had melted off of the last hair of his tail and the stallion collapsed, exhaustion overtaking him.
"But..But.. that spell is impossible to break! How did you survive?" Discord was sincerely baffled, the cogs in his head turning but not comprehending the feat before him.
"When...when your...a...a master... you have to...survive." And with that the room was once again blinded, but this time not by a white light of harmony, but of the blue light of sheer power of the stallion that beheld it. A glass shattering shriek shook the ground and drowned out all noise as the all powerful draconoquise's face represented the sheer terror and hatred boiling inside him before being dissected into a million glowing microcells. The tornado of sparks raced towards the stallion and he breathed them in. His eyes rolled back for a moment and another burst of power shook the room. The blast cast down the ropes that covered Celestia and Colgate and soon all of Discords magic had been destroyed.
Chaos was no more.
