My Little Pony: Time Patrol

Previously, in "My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship", a bunch of mysterious altars appeared across Equestria.

Luster Dawn and her friends decided to investigate one of these towers, namely the one in Ponyville.

"Wonder what this is. Lola, did your father ever encounter anything like this before?" Luster Dawn asked.

"No. He never described anything like this before." Lola admitted.

"But of course he wouldn't know; for these altars have been sleeping for eons." A male voice sounded out. Suddenly, decending from the stairs was some sort of bipedal creature that was black; and not like the skin tone. Instead of a deep dark brown, this creature's skin was a pure black with only yellow body paint and egyption clothing covering his body. In his right hand he had some sort of staff which he kept off the ground as he decended the stairs of the mysterious altar.

"Wait a second...that's..." Lola said.

"Greetings Lola...I see you've already made some friends here in this world. Good. Your father will be most pleased when he hears about this." The mysterious creature said. His hands and feet were paws, and his face was like that of a canine or more specifically, a vulpine canine.

"You...your..." Lola said.

"There is no reason to be alarmed; I am simply here on behalf of your father." The mysterious creature said.

"Since when were you on good terms with my father?" Lola asked.

"I guess he didn't tell you about something that happened the month before you were born. I suppose I'll have to fill you in later then." The mysterious creature said.

"Who are you?" Cozy Glow asked.

"I am afraid my real name has been lost to time, but you may refer to me as The Jackle. I was instructed by Lola's father to oversee these altars and with my incredible powers, I may do so." The mysterious creature explained.

"So, do you know what they are if Lola's father doesn't know?" Kale asked.

"These altars are the Altars of Time. By using one, one can travel to any specific point in time. However, such use is restricted on a need basis only. In other words, unless there is something major that requires traveling through time to take care of, then I'm afraid the Altar of Time is offlimits. And even then, only those I personally give authorization to may enter." The Jackle explained. "Messing with time can have serious repercussions that would ruin the world you've created for yourself after it's long since become fruitful." He added before suddenly he levitated a few books from out of the altar.

"Are those books?" Molson asked.

"These are not mere books, these are stories. More specifically, these are stories of other versions of Equestria. Some like this one here which regards how the battle against the real grogar played out differently and has become stable." The Jackle said, pointing to a book with a brown cover. "Some like this one where Twilight was essentially tortured and conditioned by Sombra to be his tyrant queen and lover are currently under construction." The Jackle said, pointing to one with a black cover. "But others like this one here where the wonderbolts fell on hard times had their stories ended prematurely." The Jackle said pointing to one with a yellow cover. "But no matter what kind of world one version of a universe like yours ends up as; one where it ends prematurely, one under construction, or one that becomes stable; my job is to look make sure nothing and I mean nothing happens that would lead a version of events to playing out so differently, that it changes the history of a certain version of a universe so much, it breaks the time stream. Such things need to be fixed accordingly." The Jackle said.

"I see." Luster Dawn said. Suddenly one of the books The Jackle was holding had black smoke coming off from it.

"What the...no!" The Jackle said. "Just as I bring it up, seems your specific world's history is being tampored with; someone is trying to change the way your world turns out by also using time travel without the aid of the Altar of Time." The Jackle said.

"Let us help; we can handle this." Summer Breeze said.

"Well...okay. Just be careful not to cause too many changes when your in the past." The Jackle said.

"We'll be careful." Chitin said.

"Namu and friends stop bad things from happening." Namu said.

"I trust in you. However, while the six of you can go, Cozy Glow and the others cannot. Their presence would cause problems. Same with you, Lola." The Jackle said. "But you'll be able to communicate with the others from this point in time thanks to my powers. So, are the six of you ready?" He asked.

"We're ready." Luster Dawn said.

"Good. Then step into the Altar." The Jackle said and let Luster and her group of six head in.

"I'll do what I can and see if I can figure out whose causing this to happen on my end. I may not be able to go with you guys, but that doesn't meant I can't do my part all the same." Cozy Glow said. Suddenly as the group entered, her necklace began to glow.

"Wait...that necklace..." The Jackle said. "Forget what I said, Cozy Glow you can go too, but you cannot give your name out." He said.

"Um...okay. Not sure why you would change your mind over my necklace but okay." Cozy Glow said and entered the Altar with Luster's Group. "Wonder what's so special about my necklace anyways..." She added.

"That is something you will come to know when the time is right, thee who shines the brightest even in the darkness." The Jackle said.

"Oooookay...no idea what you mean by that." Cozy Glow said. "I think you may need some rest later. Gotta make sure you have the mental compacity to do your job after all." She added.

"I assure you I am fine. Your destiny is much greater then you realize yourself, young pegasus." The Jackle said before the Altar suddenly teleported the group away through time and space.
