He hasn't been in our universe, let alone our planet, in over a thousand years. The last time he appeared in our universe was during the Equestrian civil war. He appeared on the battlegrounds and stopped the fighting and was standing next to the princesses when their final battle happened. His distinctive blue 'Police Box', otherwise known as the 'TAMDT' (which was confirmed by the princess that it meant 'Time And Multi-Dimensional Traveling') was left at the castle and is still there today in the gardens. While there is a blue-box appearing around Equestria, it is not his. It is rumored to be another being. See “The Doctor”, page 49. The Godfather supposedly died in the final battle of the Civil War, and the box is the only thing to prove his existence. He had an exhibit in the Equestrian National History Museum in Canterlot during 543-567 CR. The exhibit and most of the information was lost during a fire that was mysteriously started by an unknown cause in late 567.” Twilight just sat there staring at the one paragraph article of the Godfather in Myths and Legends: Volume 1. She had expected more on this topic but was surprised about how little was known of the man. She had been looking through the book she just bought to find something that interested her when she saw an article on one by the name of The Godfather. Seeing something she never heard of before, she chose to read it. Many questions ran through Twilight's head as she was thinking over what she just read when there was a knock on the door. She got up and answered it and saw a pony she had never seen before. He was a light brown unicorn and had a slightly messy black mane. The strange part, though, was that he was wearing a white shirt and a black vest with a watch on his left foreleg. "Hello," the stranger said in a slight Scoltish accent,"You must be Twilight Sparkle." "Yes, and you are?" "Critical Mass" he said as he extended a hoof towards her. "Pleasure to meet you Critical Mass." "So what brings you my library?" "Yes, well I was looking to do some research on history and a mythical creature." "What kind of mythical creature?" "It's known by many things," he started "He is in every religion I've seen, every country's history, he's been part of every historical event known, I think he is called The Godfather." "Well I have a book on him but, there isn't much on him. Only a little less than a paragraph." "May I see it?" She brought the book over to him and he started reading. "Hm, you’re right.” He said, handing the book back over to Twilight. Not much at all. Anyway, may I borrow some history books? It's been awhile since I have read up on any history." “Of course, right this way.” The two walked into the library as they got the books he wanted.While they were checking out the books, Critical start up a conversation.” “Thanks for helping me, I wanted to go traveling and wanted to visit some historical sites. So, I thought I would read up on some. "Well that's good for you. Here are those books that you wanted." "Splendid! Thank you Miss Sparkle. I will be back with these in no time at all! When are they due?" "Keep them as long as you need them." “Oh, well thanks. I'll be off now. Thank you "Goodbye.” Critical Mass then walked off whistling a song he had remembered from earlier. It was early in the night, about 8:00 o'clock. The library was closed and most ponies were asleep, but of course there was one mare still up and about reading. Twilight sat looking through a copy of a history book she gave to Critical Mass and was looking for something about the Godfather. A knock on the door startled her from her studies. 'Who could be coming to the library this late?' As she went to answer the door she saw that it was none other than Critical Mass. He had all the books he had borrowed in his light grey aura of magic and was looking about until he noticed her. "Hello Twilight! I'm here to return the books I borrowed. Really helped me out a lot." "What do you mean? You only checked them out six hours ago. You couldn't have possibly read 13 books in six hours." "I can and I did. It got a bit boring a little after the fight with Discord but the Hippogriff revolution was real interesting. Nothing else was really new to me from the civil war until most recently. But other than that, it was great to read up again on history. Especially a new one." Twilight just stood that, mouth agape. He just read 1,563 years of history in six hours. That was impossible. It had taken her at least five days to read half that. He was impossible. She was going to learn more about him whether or not he liked it. "Who are you?" "Critical Mass." "No, really who are you? You read 1,563 years of history in six hours. That took me at least five days to read half that. Who are you really?" He just smiled and waved a hoof as if saying 'Follow me and you'll see.' Then he just turned around and walked away after setting the books down on a table by the door. Twilight was annoyed yet amused by this strange stallion. Curiosity got the best of her and she followed him. He ran all the way to the train station and got on the last train for the night heading to Canterlot. With Twilight close behind, he sat in a seat and just stared out the window, deep in thought. Twilight sat down by him and immediately bombarded him with questions. "Where are we going?” He just raised a hoof to her mouth to silence her without saying a word. The rest of the ride was in silence as he obviously wasn't going to talk yet. As they pulled into the station, he got out and started walking towards the castle. He just walked past the guards and held up a strange wallet with blank paper inside when they asked for identification. He kept walking all the way to the gardens. Past guards, up stairs, and finally made it to his destination. He kept walking, trying to find his target. He turned the corner and briefly exchange a hello with Discord. He then stopped and looked up at the piece before him. A strange blue box, like the one she read about earlier, with the words "Police Public Call Box" written across the top. He stood there staring at the box for a while.. 'What have I gotten myself into?' "Twilight." He asked, turning to face her. “You asked me who I am. That question is one I asked myself many times. The simplest answer I have is my name. The Godfather. The most difficult answer I have would require many hours of talking.” Critical Mass, the Godfather, stood there with a big goofy smile. Twilight on the other hand stood there for moments processing this information. Then... "Why the ‘Godfather’?" "Well now. Thats a first." Turning to face his box, he started to speak. “The Doctor inspired me to get that name. You see, the Doctor chose his name because it was a promise to help others. I chose my name as a promise to protect others as a father. Since I’m not their birth father, I’m their Godfather.” “Thats, amazing. But, how did you get here? Your box has been here the entire time since the civil war, there is no way you could have taken it. Did you make another to get here?” "Well, no I didn't. I can’t. But, as to why I can’t, that’s another story. The reason why I left the box here was because my TAMDT was very badly damaged in that battle. It normally has almost an infinite number of rooms for me to use, but after the battle they were all destroyed in an explosion and all that was left was the control room. Even that was burning and half blown-up. So I left it here to regenerate while I live out my life here until it was done." "So, you've been here for a thousand years?" "Give or take a few." "Could you have helped us with science and medicine at all?" “Normally, yes. But I didn't.” “Why?!” "Oh don't look at it like that. Even if I did, which I wouldn’t, it would be before it's time." Twilight just stared at him. "Would you like to come with me into my TAMDT? It's all new and fancy now." "Yes!” She replied, all sadness from before gone. They then stepped into the TAMDT for the first time in one thousand years. Chapter 2: Old and new friends meetChapter 2: Old and New Friends Meet Twilight stood there looking around, she was with a strange pony, who is very much not a pony, in a box that bigger on the inside. So far nothing had exploded, gone into total anarchy, or exploded in her face. Pretty good day so far. The box's interior was a maroon color and had lights spaced every five feet on the walls. The floor was a light grey with a blue strip leading to the center of the room. There was a hexagonal shaped center with a transparent column in the middle with a spiraling tube inside. The centerpiece was a dark green color with tons of switches, levers, and wheels. There where several blue pathways that were raised off the ground by a foot or so leading off to other rooms. He walked in and started flipping switches and levers and spinning wheels. "Well then, we can anywhere in time, space, and reality in a blink of an eye. So, where do you want to go first?" "Well, I, uh." That, she wasn't expecting. Was he so sure she was going to go with him? Well, he was right. You would have to be mad not to take that offer. She was thinking of an answer. Of all the places in time and space, where would she want to go? Then she had an idea. "The War of The Sun and Moon." The Godfather paused for a moment on what he was doing. He looked to be thinking but Twilight read enough books on emotional behavior to tell that he was was not thinking, but remembering something. He had a look in his eye that was not there before. Earlier she had seen joy, and happiness like that of a small child. Now she saw only regret, pain, and sorrow. "Um," She started, "or we could go somewhere else like, the creating of Equestria, or 5,000,000,000 years in the future? If this thing really can do all you say it can." "Of course it can." He started pressing buttons and went over to a wheel and spun it. The TAMDT shook like there was an earthquake for a few moments and then the Godfather looked towards her. "Outside those doors is Canterlot in 10,000 years into the future." "Really? You expect me to believe that we just traveled 10,00 years in the future?" "Yup." "Well then, prove it." He gave her a smile and the childish light came back to his eyes. He then turned and sprinted to the door and out into the gardens. She turned and ran after him. What she saw she did not expect. They moved about ten feet over from the podium and by a bench. In front of them stood a very surprised Celestia. The Godfather's childish smile turned into a smile of a one who just saw an old friend. Celestia looked between them and then looked at the Godfather and said something that Twilight was not expecting. "Where the hell have you been Godfather?" The Godfather's smile got even bigger as he continued to look at her. Twilight was taken back by this. 'What was "hell"' Also, how did she know the Godfather? He didn't seem fazed by this at all. "Well, I've been busy waiting for the TAMDT to rebuild itself for a thousand years. When it was closed to being done I ran into Twilight over here." "Well," Celestia started, looking a bit more surprised, "then that's not the Twilight I thought it was." "What do you mean not the me you thought?" "Well, currently you are in the Canterlot Castle with your friends having a party. So I thought it would be a good time to go remember an old friend." She turned to the Godfather, "But that old friend came back." "What does she mean Godfather?" "Well you see Twilight, the reason I didn't take us to the War of the Sun and Moon was because I was already there and that would create a paradox. So I took you to the future, but I forgot one detail; you can't die. So you are here and now we are in danger of a paradox here too." "But, what do you mean?" "Well a paradox would happen because if you meet yourself in another part of your time-stream you create a paradox and the universe could expl-" "No, I meant the part about me not being able to die." "Oh, that. Well your immortal." "WHAT?! How?" "Elements of harmony, magic, time vortex stuff." "What was that last part?" "Magic?" "No, after that." "Well, I didn't say anything though." She could easily tell he was lying by the look on his face he was lying but before she could say anything though, Celestia cut in. "You never change Godfather, do you?" "Nope! Anyway, we can't let Twilight meet her future self. Soo, we'll be off now!" "Wait Godfather!" "Yesh?" "Yesh? Really? Never mind, not important. I was wondering, could I go with you this time? You do owe me after last time." "Alright fine. Sheesh, You have been holding that one against me for, what? 11,000 years now?" "Yup." "Well let's go. Oh and, shouldn't you tell Luna where you're going?" "Oh, well when will we get back?" "It's a time machine, we could get back five minutes ago." "Right. Well could she instead come with us?" "What? Well of course she can! The more the merrier!" With that she was gone in a flash of light. Twilight looked over and took notice of how the Godfather looks. He had grey streaks in his mane and tail and a discreet wrinkles on his face. He had a look in his eye like that of an old and wise stallion. He turned towards her and smiled. "Like what you see?" "Your much older looking than I thought." He laughed at this and she heard in his voice and laugh that it was indeed scratchier. One thing that comes with age. He then smiled and turned to walk back to the TAMDT. There was another flash to signal that of Celestia's return. Twilight turned and saw Luna with her. "Hey Twilight." "What?" "I said 'Hey Twilight'. Do you not remember me? It's Luna." "What?" Chapter 3: TransformationsChapter 3: Transformation A/N: Just saying this now. Anything in [ ] is supposed to be a small authors note. The Godfather walked out and saw the whole ordeal that was going on between Twilight and Luna. He watched to the part where she started saying "What" over and over again and decided that it was time to cut in. "I told you Twilight, it's 10,000 years into the future. She's caught up with modern grammar and accents. Along with learning about indoor voices and not yelling into someone's face in casual conversation." "Yeah, sorry. Forgot about the bit about being 10,000 years into the future. How old am I Celestia?" "10,021 years old." "..." "Well we can catch up on all that later. For now, lets get going." "Well Godfather, you've already caught up a bit with Tia." "Yes, yes, like I said we can catch up in the TAMDT. Now come on!" They walked into the TAMDT and the Godfather started flipping switches until he stop. "OH. Silly old me! I forgot to change back to my preferred form." He started running off down one of the pathways and into the hallway. Celestia, Luna, and Twilight all stared at each other for a moment and then took off after him. The TAMDT started to light up the pathways green as if saying, "This is the way he went." The ran through the long hallways. Twilight was surprised on how big this box really was on the inside. She knew she was gonna love traveling with this strange man. They turn the corned and saw the Godfather in a room. It had four big glass tubes with pipes going into them. There were many control panels and one of them had the Godfather typing something into it. "Right! Well then," He started, his voice sounding a bit older."This is the BTU. That stands for the Body Transformation Unit. I use it to transfer between species and forms. I can also regenerate but that's when I'm about to die." "Godfather, when I met you earlier your voice wasn't as old sounding as it is now. Why?" "Ah yes. Well now that I'm in the TAMDT its making my body age more to what I should look like. Magic in Equestria made me age slower. Now that I've made contact again with the TAMDT, its blocking all magic so I'm ageing again." "So you are you using this machine?" "To change into how I should look." Before they could respond, he jumped into one of the glass tubes. It then started to lower down over him. He waved at them with the biggest smile so far. He looked about 65 years old now. The tube filled with a white gas so they couldn't see what was going on. The gas started to then be vented out and the tube slowly rose up and a little of it got out before spreading out. The Godfather they knew what no longer standing in front of them. This Godfather was a biped with white hair slicked back. He had a wrinkled face with teal eyes that seemed to glow. [He looks like William Hartnell with these additions. His voice is like an old scottish man's.] He was wearing a black pair of trousers and a blue vest with a white button down shirt. He had a long black bow-tie one and a pair of wire glasses. "Hello everyone. Like what you see? You keep staring a lot." "Well Godfather, it seems your change has made Twilight and Luna speechless." "Well it always seems to do that doesn't it?" He smiled and then started walking out of the room down to the control room with Celestia. Twilight and Luna composed themselves and started to walk after him. He was at the control panel now flipping switches even faster than before with his hands. He looked up, opened his mouth and held up a finger as if to say something but then stopped. He was thinking where to go. He then looked up and turned to them with a goofy smile. "LET'S GO TO HELL!" The Godfather yelled. "What?" Luna Asked. "What?" "Hey I asked you first." "I said 'Let's go to hell.' Sheesh Luna, don't you listen?" "Yes, but what do you mean by that?" "I mean, let's go to my home planet, in my home universe. It's basically like hell compared to your universe." "Really?" Twilight asked with a bit of excitement. "But do they look like you? If so then we will surely look weird." "First, don't call me Shirley," He said with a smile. Everyone else just rolled their eyes. "And second, yes." "So what will we do?" Twilight asked "What I did to look like this." He said gesturing to himself while turning and pressing a button on the controls. He then turned and ran towards the room they were just in. "For and old man he sure likes to run." Twilight said with a sigh before turning and running after him. They returned to the room panting and saw him once again typing things into the console that they would never know. He then gestured to three of the glass tubes that where up and ready for them to step in. They walked in and the glass started to lower. He grabbed a small device and put it on his head. He said something that they couldn't hear before he took off the headset. He looked at it for a moment then smashed it against the wall before putting it back on. "Can you hear me now?" "Yes." Three voices said in unison. "Good. Your bodies are about to be stretched and scrunched and formed into that of a humans. Any questions?" "Yeah," Luna started, "Will this hurt?" "Nope! Well, it does for me because the more pain I endur now, the better I'll handle it later. But for you three, i'll use pain killers. It won't hurt at all." "Will we be wearing clothes like you are? And how will we get them?" Twilight asked. "Well if I'm right, it'll take your coat and turn it into clothes." "And if your wrong?" "Then you'll be three naked women in front of an old man." He said with a smile and a wink. "Celestia it seems everyone else is asking questions, do you have one?" "Yeah, what's your favorite color?" "Red. Because it symbolizes life. Now is everyone's questions answered?" "Yeah." Came three voices again. "Then lets get going." Their chambers filled with the same gas and they each felt a prick on their necks where the pain killer was injected. There was a flash of light and then it was over. Chapter 4: Getting ReadyChapter 4: Getting Ready When the light was gone, the tubes lifted up and allowed the three women to walk out. Clothed. The Godfather let out a sigh of relief before stepping forward to greet them. "Went better than I expected. You didn't faint." He told the three of them. Twilight then fainted and the Godfather caught her. "Spoke too soon again huh Godfather?" Celestia said teasingly. "Yes that does happen a lot. I could wake her up now but she'll probably slap me for it." "What would you do?" Luna Asked. "Wet willy." "I have no idea what that is but if it will wake her up then do it." "If she get's mad, its on your head." "Alright fine I don't care. Tia, do you have a problem?" "I want to see him get slapped by Twilight. No I don't have a problem." The Godfather scowled at her. "I really hate you sometimes you know that?" "Yup" He turned away from the two of them and then licked his finger and stuck it in her ear. She screamed and sat up quickly. "WHAT THE HECK GODFATHER?" Twilight said and then turned and slapped him across the face. "Yes!" Celestia shouted. "Oh, that's what a wet willy is. How did you know what that- Woah." Luna asked. "What's wrong?" "You look different. VERY different." Celestia was about the same height as before. Rounding in at about 6 ft. 4 inches, she was tall for a human. She had the same color hair as before and it came down to about her waist. She was wearing a pearl-white dress. The same crown was on her head along with the same necklace. Her golden horse shoes she wore were now golden slippers and gold bracelets. She was also wearing long white gloves that went up a little past her elbows. "You don't look half-bad yourself, Luna." Luna was also about the same height as before, about 5 ft. 11 inches. Her hair was the same and went down to about her middle-back area. She was wearing a navy-blue dress with black swirling patterns sewn into it. Just as with Celestia she had the same crown. Silver horse shoes now silver slippers with silver bracelets. She had long blue gloves much like Celestia's. "How do I look?" Twilight asked. Everyone looked over at Twilight. She was about 5 ft. 9 inches. She had her purple hair with the pink streak down the middle and it went down to her shoulders. She was wearing a simple lavender colored dress. She had a purple shirt under the dress with sleeves that went down to her wrists. She had simple purple cloth slippers. "Well ladys," The Godfather started with a smile. "Your beautiful. Now let's go to Earth, maybe the year, oh lets say, 1876. No! That's during the American Revolution. Oh maybe instead 1599. Yes. Oh! No wait, My home town! Haven't been there in a couple hundred years. Just need to change my clothes." He then said while running off towards the control room. "Again with the running." Twilight said before tripping while trying to run. "How does he run with just two legs?" "He is a strange man Twilight. We'll never know. But for running just put one foot in front of the other. Just with two legs." Celestia said. They finally got her able to walk and followed after the Godfather. He was not in the control room though when they got there. Celestia was the only one who seemed unfazed by this. She just kept walking past both of them and down another corridor. She had been here a long time ago. Granted yes, that was a different TAMDT but still, she knew him well enough to know that he would always have three things. One, a BTU machine, Two, an arcade with a 50's style diner with a cotton candy machine, and Three, a wardrobe. She had an idea where it was of course. There was a map in the control room of the TAMDT. She looked at it earlier while he was fiddling with the controls. She arrived to see the Godfather wearing some 1800's clothes. He was just done tying his bow tie when he turned and saw Celestia standing at the doorway. "Hello Celestia. Luna and Twilight in the control room?" "Yeah. Can I ask you a question?" "Ask away." He said while looking for something on the shelves. "How old are you?" "52,195 years, 4 months, 26 days, 19 hours and 27 minutes. Why do you ask?" "When was the last time we met for you?" "Oh, well. The War of the Sun and Moon. Is there something wrong?" "No, just wondering. Time travel, you can never be sure if you're going to give out spoilers." "Well that's good. Let's head back to the control room. He then grabbed a top-hat off the shelf and grabbed her hand as they walked out together. Chapter 5: The Last Adventure of Time Chaser.Chapter 5: The Adventure Begins As Celestia and the Godfather walked down the corridors of the TAMDT the Godfather knew something was changing inside him. He knew the young muscles were now becoming old and weak. He lost the strength and stamina of the youth muscles he had before. Celestia noticed his walking and movements were slower and she knew exactly what was going on. "Your aging aren't you Godfather?" "Yes and I don't like it. It will get me killed, I just know it. It might not look like it from what I do, but I really don't want to die." "I can see why it wouldn't look like that. You throw yourself in front of anything in it meant saving someone or something." "I'm hard to kill so you can imagine why." "Godfather, last time you met me you almost died. One day you'll meet your match. Remember that." "I do. And you know that if I die, the thing that killed me will not live for very much longer. My companions always make sure of that. No matter how many times I tell them not to." "Yes, I remember when you were mostly dead. That Dalek spaceship didn't stand a chance from whatever hit it. Do you think it came from Satellite Five?" "Oh, I forgot about that. Yes actually, I found out later on that it was the Doctor and his companion Rose Tyler. She absorbed the energy of the time vortex and turned all the Daleks to dust and brought a man back to life. Forever." "What do you mean forever?" "Oh nothing, he just can't die." "Oh." The rest trip was in silence till they walked into a heated debate between Luna and Twilight over some topic the Godfather couldn't care less about. He put a hand over each of their mouths to silence them. He then walked over to the control panels and started to do his thing. Flip a switch there, pull a lever here. He then looked up. "What should my catch-phrase be?" "What?" Twilight said. "Well every hero needs a catch-phrase they say when they do something stupid and dangerous. The Doctor had 'Alons-y' and 'Onwards and upwards!' and some others. Ah well, I'll think of something later. Anyway, lets visit my home town." And with that, he pulled the lever he had his hand on and there was some shaking and then they stopped. He walked out and pushed open the doors and walked out. The rest followed shortly after. He looked around with a big goofy smile on his face. He then turned and looked at his three companions. "Well, welcome to Austin, Texas." He said with a southern accent never loosing his smile. "Why are we here Godfather?" Twilight asked. "It is the city I was born in. Different universe, yes. Still, memories. Why don't we go look at Lady Bird Lake?" "Where is that?" He turned and walked across the street and put his hands on the railing on the sidewalk that overlooked the lake. Along the lake were many canoes, motor boats, paddle boats, dogs, and swimmers. This was the pride and joy of Austin. He turned around and spread his arms with a small grin. "This is Lady Bird Lake." "Why are you still talking like that?" Twilight ask. "Shh. Something is wrong here." He then proceeded to turn around and walk around. Then he put his ear to the ground and listened. He repeated this till people started to stare. This made everyone but him feel awkward. He then got up and looked at the people staring and they kept going on with their daily lives. He then pulled out his sonic screwdriver and scanned the area with it. He pressed a button and the end popped up and had a small screen on the rod connecting the end to the handle. The end was a blue piece of special glass that was attached to a mostly opaque rod with a tiny screen on it. The base was a smooth crimson with black rubber stripes that served to give a better grip. He looked up with a confused expression and turned to face his companions. "There is a disease going around. A disease not native to this universe. Or any universe for that matter. This was created in a lab by a very sick man. He wanted to kill all life on his planet. It was all because they couldn't save his daughter from a disease. The poor man lost all he had and planned to take that from everyone else too. But that's not important. Right now, we need to find the source of it. Any questions?" "Won't we look weird walking around in clothes from the 1800's?" Luna asked. "Well," The Godfather said as he looked at his watch."Currently it is October 31st, 2023. Halloween, so everyone is all dressed up weird. So no." "Is Halloween like Nightmare Night?" Twilight asked. "Yup." With that he turned and walked away towards a large yellow colored building. As they walked up, Twilight could see the words "Austin City Hall" put on a metal lining connected to the upper levels. He walked in and held up a wallet to the receptionist as he walked by. She nodded as they walked past saying they could go on. The walked up to the elevator and motioned for the rest of them to get in. He pressed the button marked "B" and they descended. The doors opened and the Godfather walked out to the basement. He looked around and walked over to another flight of stairs. "Godfather, what are you even looking for?" Celestia asked. "There should be something causing this disease and my screwdriver is telling me its this way. Now come on!" _________________________________________________________________________________________ [This part is in the Godfather's point of view. I got bored with the whole narration thing.] 'I don't understand what this disease is! It's like its being modified and mutated as we speak. But that would mean someone has control over it. That also means that it has to be pumped out every time it evolves. So there HAS to be a source pumping it out. Right? Of course I'm right. Maybe I should change my name from the Godfather. People might think I'm the mob-boss. Nah, that would be silly.' I thought as I walked down the stairs. That was basically my thought process on everything. Anyway, it was getting hard to run down the stairs so I stopped to take a break. It also gave the rest a chance to catch up. My screwdriver then started beeping. I looked down and it said that I was only 30 feet away from the source. I looked around to see if there was anything it could be coming from. I saw some dumpsters, cars, and some plastic chairs for some reason I will never know. Then I looked behind me and saw two giant fans to keep the parking garage cool. A little old school for this time, but still the source. I forced myself to keep going and I walked down the rest of the stairs and over to the fans. I scanned them with my screwdriver and found that they were indeed the source. I looked over to my right and saw a small panel that looked like someone hastily screwed it back on. I walked over and opened it up with the trusty old sonic screwdriver. There inside was the filter slots. 'If my guess is correct, those filters are contaminated with the disease.' I looked up and saw a pipe running into each of the filters. 'And that's what keeps the disease updated. The fans must get air all over the building. I mean, come on, they're forty feet in diameter.' I looked over and saw Twilight, Luna and Celestia coming around the corner from the stairs. I looked back behind me to see if they're was any way to find were the pipes go. But I saw something else that I really didn't plan to see. There was a bundle of C4 explosives on the wall. Counting down from 15. I turned around and yelled at them to stop. 'This might actually help me, it could destroy the filters and the fans and keep the disease from spreading anymore. I just need to move it closer.' I ran over and pulled it off the wall. I ran back and put it next to the filters. It was too late for me though. The explosion blew a large chunk of metal off and hit me in the head. As it turns out, these fans have extremely flammable liquid in them. I was on fire and in extreme pain. That's when I fell unconscious. Chapter 5: Regeneration and New FriendsFind a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain. -Joseph Campbell Chapter 5: Regeneration and Loss -Twilight POV- We were running after the Godfather, for an old man he sure could run, down a flight of stairs on some planet in a whole different universe! I was 3 steps from the bottom when I heard an explosion over to my left. I turned and saw the godfather being launched away from what used to be the fans. The only problem being, he had lost his right arm, and both legs in the explosion. When the smoke and dust cleared, Celestia and Luna ran over to his side while I only walked very slowly. I don't deal with seeing dismemberment too well, as it is with basically everypony. I mean, seriously, who can look at dismemberment and not throw up? Then again, the Princesses were doing pretty well right now. He seemed to be unconscious right now so that was good for him. "His regeneration isn't working right now! It could be another 30 minutes before it does. Only problem is, he might be dead by then." Luna said. "Well, he is really good with staying alive, but your right. He might not make it this time." Celestia said. "I thought you knew me better than that. I'm ashamed in you two." "Godfather?" The three of us said in unison. "No, this actually a security thing believe it or not. This is actually the TAMDT talking right now. Didn't he tell you I was alive?" "He didn't tell me." I said. "Yes Twilight, I know you didn't know but these two have already seen the future of you and the Godfather so they should know this. Guess not. Anyway, he'll be okay for the 30 minutes. I'll make sure of that." "Oh," I said,"How are you talking to me right now?" "Telepathy." "Oh, thought I was just going crazy there for a moment." "You might be." "..." THIRTY-THREE AND A HALF MINUTES LATER "GAAAAAAAAAAAAH" The Godfather's scream startled everyone around him. The TAMDT had come and taken them to Twilight's library in the correct time era, so they took the Godfather and put him in the library bathroom to help keep the blood from damaging the TAMDT since there were circuits under the carpet that could get damaged. When he had woken up, Twilight had already convinced Spike to believe her that they were the real Twilight, Luna, and Celestia. Just as they were getting ready to check on the Godfather, he screamed. They all ran up to the bathroom and saw him looking over his wound as if they were just paper cuts. He looked at them and smiled. "Hello ladies." He said. "How are you just acting as if this is just an everyday thing to you? You have one arm and no legs! Also, are you going to die?" Twilight said. "Hm. You know how your adults tell you that everything is going to be alright but you know there lying to make you feel better?" "Yes." "This time, I'm not lying. Everything is going to be alright." The without a word, a golden aura surrounded him and even made the outline of his missing limbs. He then did something to shock everyone watching. He stood up on the outlines of his legs and walked out of the bathroom. He was still covered in the golden aura as he walked. "How the hay are you doing that? And where are you going?" Spike said. "Well I don't want to catch your house on fire. That wouldn't be polite now would it? As for how I'm walking dear Spike, I don't even know, nor do I care. It's a miracle, lets put it like that." He then walked over to the TAMDT and walked in. He came back out before anyone could even open the doors carrying a pair of white slacks. He slipped them on over the leg outlines along with socks and shoes that he didn't have earlier. He walked over and opened the door. He looked outside for a moment before stepping out into the street. There were several audible gasps as he did so. He looked around, gave a two finger salute, then the golden aura started getting brighter. It then shot out from his arms, legs, and head and blocked out his features. Youtube Video When it was over, instead of the dismembered man standing there, there was instead a completely different man in front of him. Instead of a older man with white hair, there was a young man, six-foot eight, Caucasian man with fiery red hair and bright teal eyes that seemed to literally glow with their own light. he walked back into the library and looked at the shocked faces of Spike, Twilight, Luna, and Celestia. He smiled as he looked at them with a knowing look. "Wild huh? Whoa, new voi- hmm. New teeth too. Always a weird feeling." he said with a much deeper, younger, voice with a strong southern accent. He looked over to the mirror on the wall by the shelves and he smiled even bigger. "Strange combination, still look pretty damn good though." He turned before snapping his fingers and looked at Twilight with strange face before grabbing her by the shoulders and staring into her eyes with a dead serious look. "The Alpacalypse is starting!" He said in a dead-serious tone while shaking Twilight by the shoulders before promptly passing out. 10 MINUTES LATER They put the Godfather in a makeshift bed which consisted of two air mattresses pushed together with a blanket over it. While he was sleeping on that in the librarian's loft, the TAMDT had changed them back to their normal forms while the Godfather was still humanoid. Of course if anything happens in town that looked like strange magic coming from the Library, most just ignored it because of the owner. But throw in a alien, that gets attention. Rainbow Dash saw his regeneration all the way from Cloudsdale where she was finishing up with the weather management offices. She saw the gold aura fly up and thought something bad had happened. She flew non-stop for ten minutes to get to the library. But when she got there, she saw something the last thing she was expecting. She saw the Princesses sitting and having a casual conversation with Twilight like it was just a tea-time norm. She also heard loud male snoring that definitely was not Spike's. It was much deeper and louder, almost like that of a grown stallion. Almost like.... "Hi Rainbow." This voice also seemed to confuse her even more. It was like Luna's, but quieter and less "Royal Canterot Voice-ey". She turned to the source to confirm her suspicions. It was just as she had guessed. It was Princess Luna, talking normally. She looked to Twilight for help. "What the hay is going on here?" Rainbow shouted. "Uh, well, Rainbow, that's Princess Celestia and Princess Luna ten-thousand years from now drinking tea." Twilight responded. "Buh, whuh, huh? Who is that snoring? 'Cause its not Spike for sure." "A fifty-two thousand, one-hundred ninety-five year old time and reality traveling Spacelord from a different universe." Celestia responded this time. "Oh and his name is the Godfather." "... WHAT?!" "Not the Godfather as in a mafia boss, the Godfather as the caretaker of a foal if the parents can't." Luna responded "No, not that. He is how old?" "Fifty-two thousand, one-hundred ninety-five years old." Twilight said. "And he's and alien?" "Yes." "And he is sleeping in your house?" "Yes." "Why is he sleeping in your house? And what was that golden explosion thingy I saw?" "Oh that," Celestia spoke up. "They both tie in together so I'll just say it in order. He was in another universe and he was saving their planet from a death from disease. Didn't take him very long though to find the source. Though somepony, or rather someone, knew he would be there and rigged it to explode. He took the explosives and threw it into the source to destroy it, but in the process he couldn't out fast enough and was hit with the blast. He lost his arm and two legs and was close to death. But being a spacelord, he can regenerate. That's what the 'golden explosion' was. He regenerated and now he has his arms and legs back and is young and healthy again. Though when he regenerates he uses lots of energy to do so. So he passed out from exhaustion. That's why he is asleep upstairs." THUMP Chapter 6: Rainbow Dash and Pinkie PieGodfather POV THUMP So much for being subtle... I thought to myself as I got up. I was trying to just stand and watch till someone noticed me, but as it turns out, these railings are very weak. "I'll fix that! Someday... but that day is not today!" I said. This drew looks from everyone else who wasn't staring before. I then realized that they were staring at my chest instead. I look down and saw a piece of wood impaled through my chest cavity. Woops. I shrugged, then pulled the wood out of my chest and threw it back into the pile as my chest healed itself. "Could you stop staring at me? Its creepy." No response. I then looked towards Rainbow Dash with a glare that once scared away an army of Dialiks. Which in case you don't know, are about a thousand times worse than a Dalek. "You know, its not polite to stare." This seemed to snap her back to reality. For a moment she looked determined to protect her friends, then she saw the look I was giving her and then back away to a corner of the room. I could see why though. I mean, I had just fallen of a balcony and pulled a piece of wood out of my chest. I would be scared witless if I had seen a creature do that. Even more so when it had been a new creature in my perfect world of peace and normalishness. Oh wait, that did happen. Anyway so at this point I've been staring at her for five minutes. She did not back down though and after eight minutes I smiled, not the scary menacing one, but the kind that was kind and gentle. She was very obviously confused though, so I decided to elaborate. "You're a strong one, I can definitely tell. That look can make most creatures go insane after one minute." "Who.....who are...you?" She asked. "A fifty-two thousand year old man who has spent fifty-one thousand of those years alone, with the only thing meeting me at every place I go being death, despair, destruction, and only very rarely, free doughnuts. So that is why I decided to get a friend after all these years. I give my happiness for others. I think I deserve at least one friend. So, I'm sorry for scaring you like that and if you wouldn't mind I would like to put that past us for now. So, what is your name, my multicolored friend?" "Uh, Rainbow, Dash." "Nice to meet you Rainbow Dash." I said as I held my hand out for her to shake. Which she did, just very slowly and hesitantly. Once I was that was done I turned back to the rest of the rooms occupants. They just looked at me like I was crazy or I had sprouted another head. "What?" -Luna POV- "What?" He just looked like he had no idea what he just did. Though to be fair he just said he had been alone for fifty-one thousand years. He keeps his sanity together pretty well for a guy who has been alone for that long. He then had a look of realization as he realized what he had done. "I get it. I don't pull off the suit very well. I'll fix that. One moment ladies." So much for that nice thought. Once he walked upstairs Rainbow immediately asked the nearest living thing the first question that popped into her head. "What is he?" "Spacelord." I answered. "Why is she not talking all, royal-canterlot voice and old Equestrian?" "I'm from ten-thousand years into the future. I would think I have learned a thing or two about talking normally and common-sense." "Twilight, why and how are they here?" "The Godfather brought them with us on an adventure to his home world because he was trying to prove a point to me." "And you say I'm thick-skulled, or something like that." "Thick-headed." Celestia added. Before any of us could say anything else, the Godfather returned. This time he was wearing a pair of black trousers and matching shoes and socks. He was also wearing a white shirt with a red bow-tie. He also donned a white blazer with a red hanker chef sticking out of his right chest pocket. His hair was slicked back with only very little gel and he was putting his sonic screwdriver into his inner-coat pocket. He walked down the stairs and immediately looked at the broken balcony with a frown. He lift his hand, palm up. With a aura of many colors, he lift the wood up, put it all back together, and then put it back into place. With a flick of his wrist, it was all nailed into place. It looked as if it had never been broken. "Since when can you do magic?" Celestia asked "Since I got mutated by an alicorn blood vile." "When was that?!" "Two thousand, fifty-six and a half years ago." He replied with a shrug. "They got my type mixed with an alicorn type." "What the hay is going on here?" Rainbow yelled. He turned to her. "Science." "Not, that. Whatever that was. I mean, why are you here?" "I told you, I got lonely. And if I get lonely, I don't help anyone and they all die. So which one do you want?" "Why did you stare at me?" "To prove if ya'll are tough enough to be a friend of mine." "Where are you from?" "Sheesh, what is this? Interrogation?" He said with a smile. "I like you. If you must know I'm from another world. Well, universe actually but still. Not from anywhere you know of. If you want to see where I'm from and many more places, all you have to do is ask. Oh and hello Pinkie." "HI" Pinkie yelled as we all jumped ten feet in the air. "Ohmygoshyournewandifyournewthatmeansyouhavn'tbeenwelcomedandifyouhaven'tbeenwelcomedthatmeansyoumightnothaveanyfriendsbutIalsosawyoudothatcoolexplosionthingythatwasalllike, PEW, andthenIsawyouwalkbackinhereandthenIsawDashiecomeheresoIdecidedtoseewhatwasgoingoneandthenIheardyourconversationandthenIwantedtoaskyouifIcouldbeyourfriend!" She said in one breath. "Of course you can throw a party and be my friend. The more the merrier!" "How did you understand her?" Dash asked. "I speak sugar-rush." How does he speak surger-rush?! More importantly, when is that a language? "Godfather, your impossible." I said. "Why thank you, Luna." He replied with his childish smile. "Wow." Spike said as we all turned to him. Oh yeah, forgot he was here. "And people say Pinkie is crazy." "I try." Godfather and Pinkie said in unison. "Hey Pinkie?" "Yes strange-creature-who-I-think-is-named-the-Godfather?" "Its just the Godfather and are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "NOPE!" "ME NEITHER!" He replied while throwing up his arms. "LET'S GET BREAKFAST!" "Godfather," Twilight started, "It's 5:00 o' clock in the afternoon." "Well then," He said with his childish attitude never leaving, "Let's get, NIIIIIGHT BREAKFAST!" "Okie dokie lokie!" Well, were screwed. They turned and WALKED out the front door. He didn't even care that he was a six-foot tall creature nopony has ever seen before. I turned to the others and they all had they same thought on their mind. To stop them from scaring and possibly destroying half the town. I really hope he doesn't try to help the CMC. I ran outside as fast as I could to see he was just casually walking down the road with Pinkie. Yet no one seemed to care. Maybe that was just my though. Oh well "I forgot in this town no one cares about a creature walking with Pinkie that they've never seen before." I said. "You haven't visited us in a while have you?" Twilight asked. "Well in my defense, you live at the castle in my time era." I replied. "Well you could still visit them more often." Celestia replied. "I'm gonna go get him!" Dash replied as she flew off after him. Chapter 7: Applejack and RarityFreedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it. -Pericles The Godfather, in all honesty, was a very good liar, and was very good at covering up pain and sorrow. But at this moment, unlike all the other times he seemed to be happy, he really was. He had companions who, granted barely knew him but still, cared about him. That was the first time in a very long time he had that. And he would cherish it always. He knew that the older he got, the younger he wanted to be. His past, his very way of life, wasn't all it seemed to be. It was once so very different, that if one were to look at it and compare it to his current life, they would never believe it was him at one point. But it was once. Once. A word so commonly used, but never truly understood. It might mean that it existed once, but doesn't anymore. It may mean it happened only one time. To the Godfather though, it meant to be alone and sad. A reminder of those he has lost, and what he has lost. Something that could only make him happy for a small amount of time before it's time was up and it had it's turn to dance with death. Like we all would have. There are those who run from it. There are those who run towards it. Those who cause it, and those who prevent it. Then there are those like the Godfather and all who inspired him, who are all of those at the same time. Most think that these kinds of people are brave, gentle parents, yet fierce warriors. Understanding and thick-headed. But there are the few that know the truth. Those kind of men are all of those things and more. But they are really something else. The truth about them. All the good and bad things they do to protect others just do one thing. It drives them mad. ~_________________________________________________________________~ The walk through the market place was fairly uneventful until they got to a certain apple stand. That's when shit hit the fan. Though most were only slightly curious about the tall creature walking with Pinkie, one who is a closer friend might be a little worried. Or a lot. To the point where the Godfather might have been bucked in the face. Twice. "Ow. That was pretty damn rude if you ask me." The Godfather said while re-locating his jaw. "Though I have had worse introductions. I remember one time I got stabbed through my left heart with a ruler. Still haven't figured out how that ruler got in my chest. Be hey, I ain't gonna dwell on the past no more." A bit more of his accent came out at the end. But no one or pony noticed. "How are you DEAD?! You got kicked in the face! That should have killed you!" Twilight said, or rather yelled at the Godfather. He only chuckled at that. "Oh don't you worry 'bout a thing. Now where was I? Oh right!" He stuck his hand out to Applejack to shake. "Howdy, my name is the Godfather and I like oatmeal." "What?" Everyone but Pinkie said in unison. "Can't a man like his oatmeal anymore without getting weird looks?" He replied with an innocent look. "What is goin' on here!" Applejack shouted. "I was getting apples for oatmeal. As for the others, I have no Idea. Do you like oatmeal?" "What, yeah, I guess. But, what are you?" "Spacelord. By the way, whats your name?" "Applejack." "Well then Applejack. How much for twenty five dozens of apples?" "Why, why would you need twenty five dozen apples?!" Twilight asked. "I really like apple oatmeal." "So you really need twenty-five dozen apples to do that?" "Eyup." "That was a little creepy." "I try. So how much." "Well, uh. Hang on." With that, Applejack walked away as the Godfather looked at his watch. "If I'm right, I'll get attacked by another one of your friends in about 3, 2, 1....." "GET AWAY FROM MY FRIENDS!" "Aaand there we go." The Godfather was hit in the face then with a measuring tape. They turned to see Rarity running down the street who then threw a topaz at him. The topaz what about the size of a baseball, but very uneven and looked like it was just picked up out of the ground. As it sailed towards the Godfather's face, it stopped in mid-air about three inches from his nose. He then grabbed it in his hand, looked at it for a few moments, before throwing it into the air. "I think ya'll are gonna like this next bit." He said as he caught it in his hand again. Only, it wasn't exactly the same as before. It was a perfect sphere, perfectly polished. and hollow with a golden mist floating in the center. As he started rolling it around his arms and hands, it didn't seem to roll, more like float across his blazer. The light became brighter each time he flipped his elbow to send it rolling to the other side. Once it looked like a nuke had gone off and was contained inside it, he placed it in his pocket and smiled. "Hello, I'm the Godfather." He said while extending his arm, oblivious to the stares from the occupants of the market square. Youtube Video Chapter 8: Fluttershy and Some Pretty MusicsChapter 8: Fluttershy and Some Pretty Musics "Where did the music even come from?" "TAMDT." "What's that?" "My home, ship, office, and everything in between." "So like a huge alien spaceship?" "Yup. Just better." "How much better?" "A lot." "Does it have a pool?" "Look here Rainbow, I could spend hours trying to tell you all about it, and I wouldn't be even a quarter of the way done. So if you would PLEASE be quiet for now, I'll show you it. Okay?" "Fine." "Good." So after getting Rarity to calm down they continued to walk down the road towards sugercube corner. It went fairly well after that and had minimal interruptions. The universe decided it was a great time to change that. "Okay before we go any further, can you five explain to anyone else from now on who I am, cause this is REALLY annoying me. I hate repeating myself." The Godfather said. "Fine." was his only answer. "Fantastic, by the way your friend is about thirty paces to my right and looks like she is going to start staring at me, could you deal with her?" "How didja even see her?" Rainbow asked. "You learn a thing or two over the coarse of fifty thousand years." "Like?" "Well," The Godfather started, "Like playing the soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, bari saxophone, bass saxophone, flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, oboe, trumpet, trombone, superbone, tube, baritone, bass, cello, violin, viola, guitar, percussion, electric bass, and some others.

Plu-" "WE GET IT." They all replied at once. "Good. Because I only list instruments I play and "ologys" I have a degree in. To say them all would take HOURS and I don't feel like doing that. So yeah, friend, deal with her. I'll be around here. Somewhere..." He replied while looking at a amphitheater close by. "Alright. Come on, lets go." Twilight said while leading them off. -20 MINUTES LATER- "And that's who he is in a nutshell." Twilight concluded. "Um, what?" Fluttershy said. "He's just a really smart and really old alien." "Oh." "Really, I give a twenty minute speech and that's all it takes to explain it?" Twilight said. "Just simplify things. It makes life much easier." Just then, a strange noise could be heard from the amphitheater in the park. It sounded like a wheezing noise, but also like it was a strong wind. To a certain grey pegasus, it was a sign that the doctor was in. Soon, all of the town gathered around the amphitheater to see what this strange noise was. They then noticed that the noise what being played twice. Then, one of them also had thunder with it. Then, they stopped. As the silence almost made the town check to see what the sound was, the curtains opened and two bipedals could be seen on stage, each standing next to their own identical blue boxes. One, a taller red-headed man with a white blazer, carried a guitar plugged into an amp that was wired to others spread around the stage, while the other, a slightly shorter man with brown hair wearing a tweed jacket and red bow-tie, was sitting behind a drum set. The one with the guitar started playing his guitar, while the other shortly followed with his drums. They played... Youtube Video As they played the blue boxes started projecting in the air above the crowd, pictures of the humans and planet Earth along with other races such as the raxacoricofallapatorians, timelords, the Godfather's happy memories, the Doctor's happy memories, and so on. As they finished, they went into each of their blue boxes respectively and emerged again seconds later carrying different items. The Godfather, a saxophone, and the Doctor, a trumpet. The Godfather then pulled out a microphone and walked to the front of the stage. "We need some extra instrumentals and a male vocalist. Who thinks that they can do it?" After a few moments they had gotten a few volunteers to come up on stage. They split the group up so one half went with the Doctor and the other with the Godfather. Moments later they came out as bipedals. Each carryed an instrument and for one, a microphone. Each still had the same mane color, just now as their hair. One looked very much like the Godfather, just stronger. This happened to be Big mac. Others where Spike, a stallion named Foxtrot, a mare named Ratch, other stallions named Shadow Lurker, by some random chance Fancypants, Thunderlane, and Lucky Clover. They somehow managed to learn a brand new instrument and memorize and entire song in 3.5 seconds. Aliens man. They all took their place and started to play a song. They played... Youtube Video After the song was over they went back into the blue boxes and emerged again carrying different instruments. They once again took their places on stage and had memorized how to play a song and instrument in 3.5 seconds. Once again they nodded to each other and began to play. They played... Youtube Video To say the audience was breathless would be an extreme understatement. Some just tried accepting it and moving on while others tried to figure out what was going on right now. Once again, aliens man. They give you headaches. So many headaches... Chapter 9: Mane 6Chapter 9: Mane 6 Author's Note: I edited this a bit and made it longer and fixed some mistakes. Enjoy, As they finished their last song the Godfather walked up to the front of the stage and said with a smirk. "Well, anyone want to join me for another song or two?" This time, more ponies raised their hooves to the sky. "Alright. Let's see, you, you, you, you, aaaaand you. Sorry, that's all we'll need for now. For this next part, we'll be doing a bit of country, classical, rock, electric, and whatever else I can find. Give us a moment to set up." And with that he walked off to his blue box. This time, everyone went to his box. Just like last time, he came out only seconds later with everyone changed and carrying an instrument. He once again walked to the front of the stage and shouted to the crowd. "So, change of plans. I really want to play a song for a few friends of mine that I only met recently. So, this first song should be obvious who it's for. Oh and if it isn't, my friends are the Elements of Harmony. That should clear it up. That is all." He then walked back and the band started to play their song. They played... Youtube Video When the song was over, they immediately went to get ready for the next couple songs, not even needing to go into the blue box. The band still consisted of Lucky Clover, Foxtrot, Ratch, Big Mac, Spike, Shadow Lurker, Thunderlane, and Fancypants. For some reason this guy decided to show up in this small town. Oh well, we'll never understand the rich. Though the additions were Vinyl Scratch, Octavia, a young stallion named Robbins, another middle-aged stallion named Utah, and lastly, a young mare named Mariah. Once they were finished setting up, the started their next songs. They played... Youtube Video Then they played... Youtube Video Next they played... Youtube Video After that they played... Youtube Video Lastly, they played... Youtube Video As they last key of the piano was played, the crowd roared with applause for their songs. The whole band walked to the front of the stage, shoulder to shoulder, and took a bow for their performance. Then the Godfather and Doctor walked up to the front of the stage as the others backed away from the front of the stage. The two men both carried a microphone in their right hand. The Doctor spoke up first though. "It has been a long time since I've played any kind of music. I thought I was a bit rusty. Then again, I lived here for about ten or so years without hands so that may have been why." "Same here. Except I've lived here for a bit longer. Still, I think we did good. What do ya'll think?" He finished while turning to the crowd. A roar of approval was his only response. "Yep, we did good. Well, thank you all for coming and have a nice day." "Good day to you all!" The Doctor said. With that, the Godfather clapped his hands and the transformed returned to their normal state as he disappeared. ~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~ "Um, what just happened?" Rainbow asked. "I think the alien we just met play a song for each of us, with our friends transformed into those bipedal creatures, and then disappeared while changing them all back." Rarity said. "That about sums it up." Twilight said. "Where is he now?" Fluttershy asked. "Maybe he went to the library." "Hey, I found this place that sells rice! I didn't know this town sold rice." The Godfather said, walking up to the group. "Dude, what was the whole deal with concert?" Rainbow asked. "What concert?" He asked with a confused look on his face. "The on you just put on not even five minutes ago." Applejack told him. "I didn't put on a concert." "Yes, you did." Twilight said. "I think I would remember that kind of thing. Just sayin'." "Godfather!" They turned to see the Doctor walking up with Derpy right behind him. "I bet your confused about everyone talking about a concert you supposedly put on but you can't remember, correct?" "Yup." "Well, I was just performing with you, and you told me to come and tell you to get going! You got a show to put on! Oh by the way, here's what we'll be playing." He handed him piece of paper folded up and the Godfather put it in his jacket pocket. "Well, that explains some things." The he said with a smile "Wibley Wobley," "-Timey Wimey." They said together with a laugh. "Alright, right now I'm at the library. That's if I follow my own plan." "Alright, see you there." With that, the Godfather walked towards a blue box appearing in an alleyway close by. "Oh and Doctor, thank future me for sending past me my past TAMDT." He said before he walked off. ~~~~~At The Library~~~~~ The small group arrived at the library to see the godfather, once again, wearing a different outfit. He was wearing a pair of denim jeans with a red plaid button down shirt, and a long, brown duster lying on the back of his chair. He had his back turned to the door and was reading a book titled "Lord of the Rings". He turned to face the door as they walked in and had a smile on his face. "So, how'd you like the concert?" He said as they walked in. "It was great!" Everyone except the Doctor said in unison. "Glad you liked it. You did great today too Doctor." "Same with you. We should do that again someday. Remember back when we did that concert at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas?" "Oh yes. How could I forget? That's why I love Austin, they love their live music concerts. They really like 'Ballad of the Alamo'." "Yes, and Big Iron." Meanwhile the rest of the room's occupants started their own conversation. "Hey, Derpy?" Twilight said. "Yeah Twilight?" Derpy responded. "How long have you known the Doctor?" "Oh for a couple years now. I met him when he first came to Equestria." "Have you met the Godfather before today too?" "No, but the Doctor did talk a lot about him. They seem to be very good friends from what I've heard and seen." "What's Texas?" Rainbow asked. "I think it's a place from this planet the Doctor always talked about called Earth." Derpy responded. "Yes it is." Twilight said. "How do you know Twilight?" Rarity asked. "He took me their before he met all of you. He went there old and came back without his legs. Which is what the gold explosion thing earlier all about." "Oh he regenerated!" Derpy said. "I guess. Thou-" Suddenly she was interrupted as the Godfather and the Doctor yelled out simultaneously. "ALLON-SY" They both went over to their companions to explain to the what was happening. "WE'RE GOING ON AN ADVENTURE!" They both yelled at their companions. The Godfather ran to the basement with his companions into his TAMDT. The Doctor instead ran out the front door with Derpy to his TARDIS. And now, the fun begins.
Chapter 1: IntroductionsChapter 1: Introductions. “Not Much is known about the Godfather. He hasn't been in our universe, let alone our planet, in over a thousand years. The last time he appeared in our universe was during the Equestrian civil war. He appeared on the battlegrounds and stopped the fighting and was standing next to the princesses when their final battle happened. His distinctive blue 'Police Box', otherwise known as the 'TAMDT' (which was confirmed by the princess that it meant 'Time And Multi-Dimensional Traveling') was left at the castle and is still there today in the gardens. While there is a blue-box appearing around Equestria, it is not his. It is rumored to be another being. See “The Doctor”, page 49. The Godfather supposedly died in the final battle of the Civil War, and the box is the only thing to prove his existence. He had an exhibit in the Equestrian National History Museum in Canterlot during 543-567 CR. The exhibit and most of the information was lost during a fire that was mysteriously started by an unknown cause in late 567.” Twilight just sat there staring at the one paragraph article of the Godfather in Myths and Legends: Volume 1. She had expected more on this topic but was surprised about how little was known of the man. She had been looking through the book she just bought to find something that interested her when she saw an article on one by the name of The Godfather. Seeing something she never heard of before, she chose to read it. Many questions ran through Twilight's head as she was thinking over what she just read when there was a knock on the door. She got up and answered it and saw a pony she had never seen before. He was a light brown unicorn and had a slightly messy black mane. The strange part, though, was that he was wearing a white shirt and a black vest with a watch on his left foreleg. "Hello," the stranger said in a slight Scoltish accent,"You must be Twilight Sparkle." "Yes, and you are?" "Critical Mass" he said as he extended a hoof towards her. "Pleasure to meet you Critical Mass." "So what brings you my library?" "Yes, well I was looking to do some research on history and a mythical creature." "What kind of mythical creature?" "It's known by many things," he started "He is in every religion I've seen, every country's history, he's been part of every historical event known, I think he is called The Godfather." "Well I have a book on him but, there isn't much on him. Only a little less than a paragraph." "May I see it?" She brought the book over to him and he started reading. "Hm, you’re right.” He said, handing the book back over to Twilight. Not much at all. Anyway, may I borrow some history books? It's been awhile since I have read up on any history." “Of course, right this way.” The two walked into the library as they got the books he wanted.While they were checking out the books, Critical start up a conversation.” “Thanks for helping me, I wanted to go traveling and wanted to visit some historical sites. So, I thought I would read up on some. "Well that's good for you. Here are those books that you wanted." "Splendid! Thank you Miss Sparkle. I will be back with these in no time at all! When are they due?" "Keep them as long as you need them." “Oh, well thanks. I'll be off now. Thank you "Goodbye.” Critical Mass then walked off whistling a song he had remembered from earlier. It was early in the night, about 8:00 o'clock. The library was closed and most ponies were asleep, but of course there was one mare still up and about reading. Twilight sat looking through a copy of a history book she gave to Critical Mass and was looking for something about the Godfather. A knock on the door startled her from her studies. 'Who could be coming to the library this late?' As she went to answer the door she saw that it was none other than Critical Mass. He had all the books he had borrowed in his light grey aura of magic and was looking about until he noticed her. "Hello Twilight! I'm here to return the books I borrowed. Really helped me out a lot." "What do you mean? You only checked them out six hours ago. You couldn't have possibly read 13 books in six hours." "I can and I did. It got a bit boring a little after the fight with Discord but the Hippogriff revolution was real interesting. Nothing else was really new to me from the civil war until most recently. But other than that, it was great to read up again on history. Especially a new one." Twilight just stood that, mouth agape. He just read 1,563 years of history in six hours. That was impossible. It had taken her at least five days to read half that. He was impossible. She was going to learn more about him whether or not he liked it. "Who are you?" "Critical Mass." "No, really who are you? You read 1,563 years of history in six hours. That took me at least five days to read half that. Who are you really?" He just smiled and waved a hoof as if saying 'Follow me and you'll see.' Then he just turned around and walked away after setting the books down on a table by the door. Twilight was annoyed yet amused by this strange stallion. Curiosity got the best of her and she followed him. He ran all the way to the train station and got on the last train for the night heading to Canterlot. With Twilight close behind, he sat in a seat and just stared out the window, deep in thought. Twilight sat down by him and immediately bombarded him with questions. "Where are we going?” He just raised a hoof to her mouth to silence her without saying a word. The rest of the ride was in silence as he obviously wasn't going to talk yet. As they pulled into the station, he got out and started walking towards the castle. He just walked past the guards and held up a strange wallet with blank paper inside when they asked for identification. He kept walking all the way to the gardens. Past guards, up stairs, and finally made it to his destination. He kept walking, trying to find his target. He turned the corner and briefly exchange a hello with Discord. He then stopped and looked up at the piece before him. A strange blue box, like the one she read about earlier, with the words "Police Public Call Box" written across the top. He stood there staring at the box for a while.. 'What have I gotten myself into?' "Twilight." He asked, turning to face her. “You asked me who I am. That question is one I asked myself many times. The simplest answer I have is my name. The Godfather. The most difficult answer I have would require many hours of talking.” Critical Mass, the Godfather, stood there with a big goofy smile. Twilight on the other hand stood there for moments processing this information. Then... "Why the ‘Godfather’?" "Well now. Thats a first." Turning to face his box, he started to speak. “The Doctor inspired me to get that name. You see, the Doctor chose his name because it was a promise to help others. I chose my name as a promise to protect others as a father. Since I’m not their birth father, I’m their Godfather.” “Thats, amazing. But, how did you get here? Your box has been here the entire time since the civil war, there is no way you could have taken it. Did you make another to get here?” "Well, no I didn't. I can’t. But, as to why I can’t, that’s another story. The reason why I left the box here was because my TAMDT was very badly damaged in that battle. It normally has almost an infinite number of rooms for me to use, but after the battle they were all destroyed in an explosion and all that was left was the control room. Even that was burning and half blown-up. So I left it here to regenerate while I live out my life here until it was done." "So, you've been here for a thousand years?" "Give or take a few." "Could you have helped us with science and medicine at all?" “Normally, yes. But I didn't.” “Why?!” "Oh don't look at it like that. Even if I did, which I wouldn’t, it would be before it's time." Twilight just stared at him. "Would you like to come with me into my TAMDT? It's all new and fancy now." "Yes!” She replied, all sadness from before gone. They then stepped into the TAMDT for the first time in one thousand years.
Chapter 2: Old and new friends meetChapter 2: Old and New Friends Meet Twilight stood there looking around, she was with a strange pony, who is very much not a pony, in a box that bigger on the inside. So far nothing had exploded, gone into total anarchy, or exploded in her face. Pretty good day so far. The box's interior was a maroon color and had lights spaced every five feet on the walls. The floor was a light grey with a blue strip leading to the center of the room. There was a hexagonal shaped center with a transparent column in the middle with a spiraling tube inside. The centerpiece was a dark green color with tons of switches, levers, and wheels. There where several blue pathways that were raised off the ground by a foot or so leading off to other rooms. He walked in and started flipping switches and levers and spinning wheels. "Well then, we can anywhere in time, space, and reality in a blink of an eye. So, where do you want to go first?" "Well, I, uh." That, she wasn't expecting. Was he so sure she was going to go with him? Well, he was right. You would have to be mad not to take that offer. She was thinking of an answer. Of all the places in time and space, where would she want to go? Then she had an idea. "The War of The Sun and Moon." The Godfather paused for a moment on what he was doing. He looked to be thinking but Twilight read enough books on emotional behavior to tell that he was was not thinking, but remembering something. He had a look in his eye that was not there before. Earlier she had seen joy, and happiness like that of a small child. Now she saw only regret, pain, and sorrow. "Um," She started, "or we could go somewhere else like, the creating of Equestria, or 5,000,000,000 years in the future? If this thing really can do all you say it can." "Of course it can." He started pressing buttons and went over to a wheel and spun it. The TAMDT shook like there was an earthquake for a few moments and then the Godfather looked towards her. "Outside those doors is Canterlot in 10,000 years into the future." "Really? You expect me to believe that we just traveled 10,00 years in the future?" "Yup." "Well then, prove it." He gave her a smile and the childish light came back to his eyes. He then turned and sprinted to the door and out into the gardens. She turned and ran after him. What she saw she did not expect. They moved about ten feet over from the podium and by a bench. In front of them stood a very surprised Celestia. The Godfather's childish smile turned into a smile of a one who just saw an old friend. Celestia looked between them and then looked at the Godfather and said something that Twilight was not expecting. "Where the hell have you been Godfather?" The Godfather's smile got even bigger as he continued to look at her. Twilight was taken back by this. 'What was "hell"' Also, how did she know the Godfather? He didn't seem fazed by this at all. "Well, I've been busy waiting for the TAMDT to rebuild itself for a thousand years. When it was closed to being done I ran into Twilight over here." "Well," Celestia started, looking a bit more surprised, "then that's not the Twilight I thought it was." "What do you mean not the me you thought?" "Well, currently you are in the Canterlot Castle with your friends having a party. So I thought it would be a good time to go remember an old friend." She turned to the Godfather, "But that old friend came back." "What does she mean Godfather?" "Well you see Twilight, the reason I didn't take us to the War of the Sun and Moon was because I was already there and that would create a paradox. So I took you to the future, but I forgot one detail; you can't die. So you are here and now we are in danger of a paradox here too." "But, what do you mean?" "Well a paradox would happen because if you meet yourself in another part of your time-stream you create a paradox and the universe could expl-" "No, I meant the part about me not being able to die." "Oh, that. Well your immortal." "WHAT?! How?" "Elements of harmony, magic, time vortex stuff." "What was that last part?" "Magic?" "No, after that." "Well, I didn't say anything though." She could easily tell he was lying by the look on his face he was lying but before she could say anything though, Celestia cut in. "You never change Godfather, do you?" "Nope! Anyway, we can't let Twilight meet her future self. Soo, we'll be off now!" "Wait Godfather!" "Yesh?" "Yesh? Really? Never mind, not important. I was wondering, could I go with you this time? You do owe me after last time." "Alright fine. Sheesh, You have been holding that one against me for, what? 11,000 years now?" "Yup." "Well let's go. Oh and, shouldn't you tell Luna where you're going?" "Oh, well when will we get back?" "It's a time machine, we could get back five minutes ago." "Right. Well could she instead come with us?" "What? Well of course she can! The more the merrier!" With that she was gone in a flash of light. Twilight looked over and took notice of how the Godfather looks. He had grey streaks in his mane and tail and a discreet wrinkles on his face. He had a look in his eye like that of an old and wise stallion. He turned towards her and smiled. "Like what you see?" "Your much older looking than I thought." He laughed at this and she heard in his voice and laugh that it was indeed scratchier. One thing that comes with age. He then smiled and turned to walk back to the TAMDT. There was another flash to signal that of Celestia's return. Twilight turned and saw Luna with her. "Hey Twilight." "What?" "I said 'Hey Twilight'. Do you not remember me? It's Luna." "What?"
Chapter 3: TransformationsChapter 3: Transformation A/N: Just saying this now. Anything in [ ] is supposed to be a small authors note. The Godfather walked out and saw the whole ordeal that was going on between Twilight and Luna. He watched to the part where she started saying "What" over and over again and decided that it was time to cut in. "I told you Twilight, it's 10,000 years into the future. She's caught up with modern grammar and accents. Along with learning about indoor voices and not yelling into someone's face in casual conversation." "Yeah, sorry. Forgot about the bit about being 10,000 years into the future. How old am I Celestia?" "10,021 years old." "..." "Well we can catch up on all that later. For now, lets get going." "Well Godfather, you've already caught up a bit with Tia." "Yes, yes, like I said we can catch up in the TAMDT. Now come on!" They walked into the TAMDT and the Godfather started flipping switches until he stop. "OH. Silly old me! I forgot to change back to my preferred form." He started running off down one of the pathways and into the hallway. Celestia, Luna, and Twilight all stared at each other for a moment and then took off after him. The TAMDT started to light up the pathways green as if saying, "This is the way he went." The ran through the long hallways. Twilight was surprised on how big this box really was on the inside. She knew she was gonna love traveling with this strange man. They turn the corned and saw the Godfather in a room. It had four big glass tubes with pipes going into them. There were many control panels and one of them had the Godfather typing something into it. "Right! Well then," He started, his voice sounding a bit older."This is the BTU. That stands for the Body Transformation Unit. I use it to transfer between species and forms. I can also regenerate but that's when I'm about to die." "Godfather, when I met you earlier your voice wasn't as old sounding as it is now. Why?" "Ah yes. Well now that I'm in the TAMDT its making my body age more to what I should look like. Magic in Equestria made me age slower. Now that I've made contact again with the TAMDT, its blocking all magic so I'm ageing again." "So you are you using this machine?" "To change into how I should look." Before they could respond, he jumped into one of the glass tubes. It then started to lower down over him. He waved at them with the biggest smile so far. He looked about 65 years old now. The tube filled with a white gas so they couldn't see what was going on. The gas started to then be vented out and the tube slowly rose up and a little of it got out before spreading out. The Godfather they knew what no longer standing in front of them. This Godfather was a biped with white hair slicked back. He had a wrinkled face with teal eyes that seemed to glow. [He looks like William Hartnell with these additions. His voice is like an old scottish man's.] He was wearing a black pair of trousers and a blue vest with a white button down shirt. He had a long black bow-tie one and a pair of wire glasses. "Hello everyone. Like what you see? You keep staring a lot." "Well Godfather, it seems your change has made Twilight and Luna speechless." "Well it always seems to do that doesn't it?" He smiled and then started walking out of the room down to the control room with Celestia. Twilight and Luna composed themselves and started to walk after him. He was at the control panel now flipping switches even faster than before with his hands. He looked up, opened his mouth and held up a finger as if to say something but then stopped. He was thinking where to go. He then looked up and turned to them with a goofy smile. "LET'S GO TO HELL!" The Godfather yelled. "What?" Luna Asked. "What?" "Hey I asked you first." "I said 'Let's go to hell.' Sheesh Luna, don't you listen?" "Yes, but what do you mean by that?" "I mean, let's go to my home planet, in my home universe. It's basically like hell compared to your universe." "Really?" Twilight asked with a bit of excitement. "But do they look like you? If so then we will surely look weird." "First, don't call me Shirley," He said with a smile. Everyone else just rolled their eyes. "And second, yes." "So what will we do?" Twilight asked "What I did to look like this." He said gesturing to himself while turning and pressing a button on the controls. He then turned and ran towards the room they were just in. "For and old man he sure likes to run." Twilight said with a sigh before turning and running after him. They returned to the room panting and saw him once again typing things into the console that they would never know. He then gestured to three of the glass tubes that where up and ready for them to step in. They walked in and the glass started to lower. He grabbed a small device and put it on his head. He said something that they couldn't hear before he took off the headset. He looked at it for a moment then smashed it against the wall before putting it back on. "Can you hear me now?" "Yes." Three voices said in unison. "Good. Your bodies are about to be stretched and scrunched and formed into that of a humans. Any questions?" "Yeah," Luna started, "Will this hurt?" "Nope! Well, it does for me because the more pain I endur now, the better I'll handle it later. But for you three, i'll use pain killers. It won't hurt at all." "Will we be wearing clothes like you are? And how will we get them?" Twilight asked. "Well if I'm right, it'll take your coat and turn it into clothes." "And if your wrong?" "Then you'll be three naked women in front of an old man." He said with a smile and a wink. "Celestia it seems everyone else is asking questions, do you have one?" "Yeah, what's your favorite color?" "Red. Because it symbolizes life. Now is everyone's questions answered?" "Yeah." Came three voices again. "Then lets get going." Their chambers filled with the same gas and they each felt a prick on their necks where the pain killer was injected. There was a flash of light and then it was over.
Chapter 4: Getting ReadyChapter 4: Getting Ready When the light was gone, the tubes lifted up and allowed the three women to walk out. Clothed. The Godfather let out a sigh of relief before stepping forward to greet them. "Went better than I expected. You didn't faint." He told the three of them. Twilight then fainted and the Godfather caught her. "Spoke too soon again huh Godfather?" Celestia said teasingly. "Yes that does happen a lot. I could wake her up now but she'll probably slap me for it." "What would you do?" Luna Asked. "Wet willy." "I have no idea what that is but if it will wake her up then do it." "If she get's mad, its on your head." "Alright fine I don't care. Tia, do you have a problem?" "I want to see him get slapped by Twilight. No I don't have a problem." The Godfather scowled at her. "I really hate you sometimes you know that?" "Yup" He turned away from the two of them and then licked his finger and stuck it in her ear. She screamed and sat up quickly. "WHAT THE HECK GODFATHER?" Twilight said and then turned and slapped him across the face. "Yes!" Celestia shouted. "Oh, that's what a wet willy is. How did you know what that- Woah." Luna asked. "What's wrong?" "You look different. VERY different." Celestia was about the same height as before. Rounding in at about 6 ft. 4 inches, she was tall for a human. She had the same color hair as before and it came down to about her waist. She was wearing a pearl-white dress. The same crown was on her head along with the same necklace. Her golden horse shoes she wore were now golden slippers and gold bracelets. She was also wearing long white gloves that went up a little past her elbows. "You don't look half-bad yourself, Luna." Luna was also about the same height as before, about 5 ft. 11 inches. Her hair was the same and went down to about her middle-back area. She was wearing a navy-blue dress with black swirling patterns sewn into it. Just as with Celestia she had the same crown. Silver horse shoes now silver slippers with silver bracelets. She had long blue gloves much like Celestia's. "How do I look?" Twilight asked. Everyone looked over at Twilight. She was about 5 ft. 9 inches. She had her purple hair with the pink streak down the middle and it went down to her shoulders. She was wearing a simple lavender colored dress. She had a purple shirt under the dress with sleeves that went down to her wrists. She had simple purple cloth slippers. "Well ladys," The Godfather started with a smile. "Your beautiful. Now let's go to Earth, maybe the year, oh lets say, 1876. No! That's during the American Revolution. Oh maybe instead 1599. Yes. Oh! No wait, My home town! Haven't been there in a couple hundred years. Just need to change my clothes." He then said while running off towards the control room. "Again with the running." Twilight said before tripping while trying to run. "How does he run with just two legs?" "He is a strange man Twilight. We'll never know. But for running just put one foot in front of the other. Just with two legs." Celestia said. They finally got her able to walk and followed after the Godfather. He was not in the control room though when they got there. Celestia was the only one who seemed unfazed by this. She just kept walking past both of them and down another corridor. She had been here a long time ago. Granted yes, that was a different TAMDT but still, she knew him well enough to know that he would always have three things. One, a BTU machine, Two, an arcade with a 50's style diner with a cotton candy machine, and Three, a wardrobe. She had an idea where it was of course. There was a map in the control room of the TAMDT. She looked at it earlier while he was fiddling with the controls. She arrived to see the Godfather wearing some 1800's clothes. He was just done tying his bow tie when he turned and saw Celestia standing at the doorway. "Hello Celestia. Luna and Twilight in the control room?" "Yeah. Can I ask you a question?" "Ask away." He said while looking for something on the shelves. "How old are you?" "52,195 years, 4 months, 26 days, 19 hours and 27 minutes. Why do you ask?" "When was the last time we met for you?" "Oh, well. The War of the Sun and Moon. Is there something wrong?" "No, just wondering. Time travel, you can never be sure if you're going to give out spoilers." "Well that's good. Let's head back to the control room. He then grabbed a top-hat off the shelf and grabbed her hand as they walked out together.
Chapter 5: The Last Adventure of Time Chaser.Chapter 5: The Adventure Begins As Celestia and the Godfather walked down the corridors of the TAMDT the Godfather knew something was changing inside him. He knew the young muscles were now becoming old and weak. He lost the strength and stamina of the youth muscles he had before. Celestia noticed his walking and movements were slower and she knew exactly what was going on. "Your aging aren't you Godfather?" "Yes and I don't like it. It will get me killed, I just know it. It might not look like it from what I do, but I really don't want to die." "I can see why it wouldn't look like that. You throw yourself in front of anything in it meant saving someone or something." "I'm hard to kill so you can imagine why." "Godfather, last time you met me you almost died. One day you'll meet your match. Remember that." "I do. And you know that if I die, the thing that killed me will not live for very much longer. My companions always make sure of that. No matter how many times I tell them not to." "Yes, I remember when you were mostly dead. That Dalek spaceship didn't stand a chance from whatever hit it. Do you think it came from Satellite Five?" "Oh, I forgot about that. Yes actually, I found out later on that it was the Doctor and his companion Rose Tyler. She absorbed the energy of the time vortex and turned all the Daleks to dust and brought a man back to life. Forever." "What do you mean forever?" "Oh nothing, he just can't die." "Oh." The rest trip was in silence till they walked into a heated debate between Luna and Twilight over some topic the Godfather couldn't care less about. He put a hand over each of their mouths to silence them. He then walked over to the control panels and started to do his thing. Flip a switch there, pull a lever here. He then looked up. "What should my catch-phrase be?" "What?" Twilight said. "Well every hero needs a catch-phrase they say when they do something stupid and dangerous. The Doctor had 'Alons-y' and 'Onwards and upwards!' and some others. Ah well, I'll think of something later. Anyway, lets visit my home town." And with that, he pulled the lever he had his hand on and there was some shaking and then they stopped. He walked out and pushed open the doors and walked out. The rest followed shortly after. He looked around with a big goofy smile on his face. He then turned and looked at his three companions. "Well, welcome to Austin, Texas." He said with a southern accent never loosing his smile. "Why are we here Godfather?" Twilight asked. "It is the city I was born in. Different universe, yes. Still, memories. Why don't we go look at Lady Bird Lake?" "Where is that?" He turned and walked across the street and put his hands on the railing on the sidewalk that overlooked the lake. Along the lake were many canoes, motor boats, paddle boats, dogs, and swimmers. This was the pride and joy of Austin. He turned around and spread his arms with a small grin. "This is Lady Bird Lake." "Why are you still talking like that?" Twilight ask. "Shh. Something is wrong here." He then proceeded to turn around and walk around. Then he put his ear to the ground and listened. He repeated this till people started to stare. This made everyone but him feel awkward. He then got up and looked at the people staring and they kept going on with their daily lives. He then pulled out his sonic screwdriver and scanned the area with it. He pressed a button and the end popped up and had a small screen on the rod connecting the end to the handle. The end was a blue piece of special glass that was attached to a mostly opaque rod with a tiny screen on it. The base was a smooth crimson with black rubber stripes that served to give a better grip. He looked up with a confused expression and turned to face his companions. "There is a disease going around. A disease not native to this universe. Or any universe for that matter. This was created in a lab by a very sick man. He wanted to kill all life on his planet. It was all because they couldn't save his daughter from a disease. The poor man lost all he had and planned to take that from everyone else too. But that's not important. Right now, we need to find the source of it. Any questions?" "Won't we look weird walking around in clothes from the 1800's?" Luna asked. "Well," The Godfather said as he looked at his watch."Currently it is October 31st, 2023. Halloween, so everyone is all dressed up weird. So no." "Is Halloween like Nightmare Night?" Twilight asked. "Yup." With that he turned and walked away towards a large yellow colored building. As they walked up, Twilight could see the words "Austin City Hall" put on a metal lining connected to the upper levels. He walked in and held up a wallet to the receptionist as he walked by. She nodded as they walked past saying they could go on. The walked up to the elevator and motioned for the rest of them to get in. He pressed the button marked "B" and they descended. The doors opened and the Godfather walked out to the basement. He looked around and walked over to another flight of stairs. "Godfather, what are you even looking for?" Celestia asked. "There should be something causing this disease and my screwdriver is telling me its this way. Now come on!" _________________________________________________________________________________________ [This part is in the Godfather's point of view. I got bored with the whole narration thing.] 'I don't understand what this disease is! It's like its being modified and mutated as we speak. But that would mean someone has control over it. That also means that it has to be pumped out every time it evolves. So there HAS to be a source pumping it out. Right? Of course I'm right. Maybe I should change my name from the Godfather. People might think I'm the mob-boss. Nah, that would be silly.' I thought as I walked down the stairs. That was basically my thought process on everything. Anyway, it was getting hard to run down the stairs so I stopped to take a break. It also gave the rest a chance to catch up. My screwdriver then started beeping. I looked down and it said that I was only 30 feet away from the source. I looked around to see if there was anything it could be coming from. I saw some dumpsters, cars, and some plastic chairs for some reason I will never know. Then I looked behind me and saw two giant fans to keep the parking garage cool. A little old school for this time, but still the source. I forced myself to keep going and I walked down the rest of the stairs and over to the fans. I scanned them with my screwdriver and found that they were indeed the source. I looked over to my right and saw a small panel that looked like someone hastily screwed it back on. I walked over and opened it up with the trusty old sonic screwdriver. There inside was the filter slots. 'If my guess is correct, those filters are contaminated with the disease.' I looked up and saw a pipe running into each of the filters. 'And that's what keeps the disease updated. The fans must get air all over the building. I mean, come on, they're forty feet in diameter.' I looked over and saw Twilight, Luna and Celestia coming around the corner from the stairs. I looked back behind me to see if they're was any way to find were the pipes go. But I saw something else that I really didn't plan to see. There was a bundle of C4 explosives on the wall. Counting down from 15. I turned around and yelled at them to stop. 'This might actually help me, it could destroy the filters and the fans and keep the disease from spreading anymore. I just need to move it closer.' I ran over and pulled it off the wall. I ran back and put it next to the filters. It was too late for me though. The explosion blew a large chunk of metal off and hit me in the head. As it turns out, these fans have extremely flammable liquid in them. I was on fire and in extreme pain. That's when I fell unconscious.
Chapter 5: Regeneration and New FriendsFind a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain. -Joseph Campbell Chapter 5: Regeneration and Loss -Twilight POV- We were running after the Godfather, for an old man he sure could run, down a flight of stairs on some planet in a whole different universe! I was 3 steps from the bottom when I heard an explosion over to my left. I turned and saw the godfather being launched away from what used to be the fans. The only problem being, he had lost his right arm, and both legs in the explosion. When the smoke and dust cleared, Celestia and Luna ran over to his side while I only walked very slowly. I don't deal with seeing dismemberment too well, as it is with basically everypony. I mean, seriously, who can look at dismemberment and not throw up? Then again, the Princesses were doing pretty well right now. He seemed to be unconscious right now so that was good for him. "His regeneration isn't working right now! It could be another 30 minutes before it does. Only problem is, he might be dead by then." Luna said. "Well, he is really good with staying alive, but your right. He might not make it this time." Celestia said. "I thought you knew me better than that. I'm ashamed in you two." "Godfather?" The three of us said in unison. "No, this actually a security thing believe it or not. This is actually the TAMDT talking right now. Didn't he tell you I was alive?" "He didn't tell me." I said. "Yes Twilight, I know you didn't know but these two have already seen the future of you and the Godfather so they should know this. Guess not. Anyway, he'll be okay for the 30 minutes. I'll make sure of that." "Oh," I said,"How are you talking to me right now?" "Telepathy." "Oh, thought I was just going crazy there for a moment." "You might be." "..." THIRTY-THREE AND A HALF MINUTES LATER "GAAAAAAAAAAAAH" The Godfather's scream startled everyone around him. The TAMDT had come and taken them to Twilight's library in the correct time era, so they took the Godfather and put him in the library bathroom to help keep the blood from damaging the TAMDT since there were circuits under the carpet that could get damaged. When he had woken up, Twilight had already convinced Spike to believe her that they were the real Twilight, Luna, and Celestia. Just as they were getting ready to check on the Godfather, he screamed. They all ran up to the bathroom and saw him looking over his wound as if they were just paper cuts. He looked at them and smiled. "Hello ladies." He said. "How are you just acting as if this is just an everyday thing to you? You have one arm and no legs! Also, are you going to die?" Twilight said. "Hm. You know how your adults tell you that everything is going to be alright but you know there lying to make you feel better?" "Yes." "This time, I'm not lying. Everything is going to be alright." The without a word, a golden aura surrounded him and even made the outline of his missing limbs. He then did something to shock everyone watching. He stood up on the outlines of his legs and walked out of the bathroom. He was still covered in the golden aura as he walked. "How the hay are you doing that? And where are you going?" Spike said. "Well I don't want to catch your house on fire. That wouldn't be polite now would it? As for how I'm walking dear Spike, I don't even know, nor do I care. It's a miracle, lets put it like that." He then walked over to the TAMDT and walked in. He came back out before anyone could even open the doors carrying a pair of white slacks. He slipped them on over the leg outlines along with socks and shoes that he didn't have earlier. He walked over and opened the door. He looked outside for a moment before stepping out into the street. There were several audible gasps as he did so. He looked around, gave a two finger salute, then the golden aura started getting brighter. It then shot out from his arms, legs, and head and blocked out his features. Youtube Video When it was over, instead of the dismembered man standing there, there was instead a completely different man in front of him. Instead of a older man with white hair, there was a young man, six-foot eight, Caucasian man with fiery red hair and bright teal eyes that seemed to literally glow with their own light. he walked back into the library and looked at the shocked faces of Spike, Twilight, Luna, and Celestia. He smiled as he looked at them with a knowing look. "Wild huh? Whoa, new voi- hmm. New teeth too. Always a weird feeling." he said with a much deeper, younger, voice with a strong southern accent. He looked over to the mirror on the wall by the shelves and he smiled even bigger. "Strange combination, still look pretty damn good though." He turned before snapping his fingers and looked at Twilight with strange face before grabbing her by the shoulders and staring into her eyes with a dead serious look. "The Alpacalypse is starting!" He said in a dead-serious tone while shaking Twilight by the shoulders before promptly passing out. 10 MINUTES LATER They put the Godfather in a makeshift bed which consisted of two air mattresses pushed together with a blanket over it. While he was sleeping on that in the librarian's loft, the TAMDT had changed them back to their normal forms while the Godfather was still humanoid. Of course if anything happens in town that looked like strange magic coming from the Library, most just ignored it because of the owner. But throw in a alien, that gets attention. Rainbow Dash saw his regeneration all the way from Cloudsdale where she was finishing up with the weather management offices. She saw the gold aura fly up and thought something bad had happened. She flew non-stop for ten minutes to get to the library. But when she got there, she saw something the last thing she was expecting. She saw the Princesses sitting and having a casual conversation with Twilight like it was just a tea-time norm. She also heard loud male snoring that definitely was not Spike's. It was much deeper and louder, almost like that of a grown stallion. Almost like.... "Hi Rainbow." This voice also seemed to confuse her even more. It was like Luna's, but quieter and less "Royal Canterot Voice-ey". She turned to the source to confirm her suspicions. It was just as she had guessed. It was Princess Luna, talking normally. She looked to Twilight for help. "What the hay is going on here?" Rainbow shouted. "Uh, well, Rainbow, that's Princess Celestia and Princess Luna ten-thousand years from now drinking tea." Twilight responded. "Buh, whuh, huh? Who is that snoring? 'Cause its not Spike for sure." "A fifty-two thousand, one-hundred ninety-five year old time and reality traveling Spacelord from a different universe." Celestia responded this time. "Oh and his name is the Godfather." "... WHAT?!" "Not the Godfather as in a mafia boss, the Godfather as the caretaker of a foal if the parents can't." Luna responded "No, not that. He is how old?" "Fifty-two thousand, one-hundred ninety-five years old." Twilight said. "And he's and alien?" "Yes." "And he is sleeping in your house?" "Yes." "Why is he sleeping in your house? And what was that golden explosion thingy I saw?" "Oh that," Celestia spoke up. "They both tie in together so I'll just say it in order. He was in another universe and he was saving their planet from a death from disease. Didn't take him very long though to find the source. Though somepony, or rather someone, knew he would be there and rigged it to explode. He took the explosives and threw it into the source to destroy it, but in the process he couldn't out fast enough and was hit with the blast. He lost his arm and two legs and was close to death. But being a spacelord, he can regenerate. That's what the 'golden explosion' was. He regenerated and now he has his arms and legs back and is young and healthy again. Though when he regenerates he uses lots of energy to do so. So he passed out from exhaustion. That's why he is asleep upstairs." THUMP
Chapter 6: Rainbow Dash and Pinkie PieGodfather POV THUMP So much for being subtle... I thought to myself as I got up. I was trying to just stand and watch till someone noticed me, but as it turns out, these railings are very weak. "I'll fix that! Someday... but that day is not today!" I said. This drew looks from everyone else who wasn't staring before. I then realized that they were staring at my chest instead. I look down and saw a piece of wood impaled through my chest cavity. Woops. I shrugged, then pulled the wood out of my chest and threw it back into the pile as my chest healed itself. "Could you stop staring at me? Its creepy." No response. I then looked towards Rainbow Dash with a glare that once scared away an army of Dialiks. Which in case you don't know, are about a thousand times worse than a Dalek. "You know, its not polite to stare." This seemed to snap her back to reality. For a moment she looked determined to protect her friends, then she saw the look I was giving her and then back away to a corner of the room. I could see why though. I mean, I had just fallen of a balcony and pulled a piece of wood out of my chest. I would be scared witless if I had seen a creature do that. Even more so when it had been a new creature in my perfect world of peace and normalishness. Oh wait, that did happen. Anyway so at this point I've been staring at her for five minutes. She did not back down though and after eight minutes I smiled, not the scary menacing one, but the kind that was kind and gentle. She was very obviously confused though, so I decided to elaborate. "You're a strong one, I can definitely tell. That look can make most creatures go insane after one minute." "Who.....who are...you?" She asked. "A fifty-two thousand year old man who has spent fifty-one thousand of those years alone, with the only thing meeting me at every place I go being death, despair, destruction, and only very rarely, free doughnuts. So that is why I decided to get a friend after all these years. I give my happiness for others. I think I deserve at least one friend. So, I'm sorry for scaring you like that and if you wouldn't mind I would like to put that past us for now. So, what is your name, my multicolored friend?" "Uh, Rainbow, Dash." "Nice to meet you Rainbow Dash." I said as I held my hand out for her to shake. Which she did, just very slowly and hesitantly. Once I was that was done I turned back to the rest of the rooms occupants. They just looked at me like I was crazy or I had sprouted another head. "What?" -Luna POV- "What?" He just looked like he had no idea what he just did. Though to be fair he just said he had been alone for fifty-one thousand years. He keeps his sanity together pretty well for a guy who has been alone for that long. He then had a look of realization as he realized what he had done. "I get it. I don't pull off the suit very well. I'll fix that. One moment ladies." So much for that nice thought. Once he walked upstairs Rainbow immediately asked the nearest living thing the first question that popped into her head. "What is he?" "Spacelord." I answered. "Why is she not talking all, royal-canterlot voice and old Equestrian?" "I'm from ten-thousand years into the future. I would think I have learned a thing or two about talking normally and common-sense." "Twilight, why and how are they here?" "The Godfather brought them with us on an adventure to his home world because he was trying to prove a point to me." "And you say I'm thick-skulled, or something like that." "Thick-headed." Celestia added. Before any of us could say anything else, the Godfather returned. This time he was wearing a pair of black trousers and matching shoes and socks. He was also wearing a white shirt with a red bow-tie. He also donned a white blazer with a red hanker chef sticking out of his right chest pocket. His hair was slicked back with only very little gel and he was putting his sonic screwdriver into his inner-coat pocket. He walked down the stairs and immediately looked at the broken balcony with a frown. He lift his hand, palm up. With a aura of many colors, he lift the wood up, put it all back together, and then put it back into place. With a flick of his wrist, it was all nailed into place. It looked as if it had never been broken. "Since when can you do magic?" Celestia asked "Since I got mutated by an alicorn blood vile." "When was that?!" "Two thousand, fifty-six and a half years ago." He replied with a shrug. "They got my type mixed with an alicorn type." "What the hay is going on here?" Rainbow yelled. He turned to her. "Science." "Not, that. Whatever that was. I mean, why are you here?" "I told you, I got lonely. And if I get lonely, I don't help anyone and they all die. So which one do you want?" "Why did you stare at me?" "To prove if ya'll are tough enough to be a friend of mine." "Where are you from?" "Sheesh, what is this? Interrogation?" He said with a smile. "I like you. If you must know I'm from another world. Well, universe actually but still. Not from anywhere you know of. If you want to see where I'm from and many more places, all you have to do is ask. Oh and hello Pinkie." "HI" Pinkie yelled as we all jumped ten feet in the air. "Ohmygoshyournewandifyournewthatmeansyouhavn'tbeenwelcomedandifyouhaven'tbeenwelcomedthatmeansyoumightnothaveanyfriendsbutIalsosawyoudothatcoolexplosionthingythatwasalllike, PEW, andthenIsawyouwalkbackinhereandthenIsawDashiecomeheresoIdecidedtoseewhatwasgoingoneandthenIheardyourconversationandthenIwantedtoaskyouifIcouldbeyourfriend!" She said in one breath. "Of course you can throw a party and be my friend. The more the merrier!" "How did you understand her?" Dash asked. "I speak sugar-rush." How does he speak surger-rush?! More importantly, when is that a language? "Godfather, your impossible." I said. "Why thank you, Luna." He replied with his childish smile. "Wow." Spike said as we all turned to him. Oh yeah, forgot he was here. "And people say Pinkie is crazy." "I try." Godfather and Pinkie said in unison. "Hey Pinkie?" "Yes strange-creature-who-I-think-is-named-the-Godfather?" "Its just the Godfather and are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "NOPE!" "ME NEITHER!" He replied while throwing up his arms. "LET'S GET BREAKFAST!" "Godfather," Twilight started, "It's 5:00 o' clock in the afternoon." "Well then," He said with his childish attitude never leaving, "Let's get, NIIIIIGHT BREAKFAST!" "Okie dokie lokie!" Well, were screwed. They turned and WALKED out the front door. He didn't even care that he was a six-foot tall creature nopony has ever seen before. I turned to the others and they all had they same thought on their mind. To stop them from scaring and possibly destroying half the town. I really hope he doesn't try to help the CMC. I ran outside as fast as I could to see he was just casually walking down the road with Pinkie. Yet no one seemed to care. Maybe that was just my though. Oh well "I forgot in this town no one cares about a creature walking with Pinkie that they've never seen before." I said. "You haven't visited us in a while have you?" Twilight asked. "Well in my defense, you live at the castle in my time era." I replied. "Well you could still visit them more often." Celestia replied. "I'm gonna go get him!" Dash replied as she flew off after him.
Chapter 7: Applejack and RarityFreedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it. -Pericles The Godfather, in all honesty, was a very good liar, and was very good at covering up pain and sorrow. But at this moment, unlike all the other times he seemed to be happy, he really was. He had companions who, granted barely knew him but still, cared about him. That was the first time in a very long time he had that. And he would cherish it always. He knew that the older he got, the younger he wanted to be. His past, his very way of life, wasn't all it seemed to be. It was once so very different, that if one were to look at it and compare it to his current life, they would never believe it was him at one point. But it was once. Once. A word so commonly used, but never truly understood. It might mean that it existed once, but doesn't anymore. It may mean it happened only one time. To the Godfather though, it meant to be alone and sad. A reminder of those he has lost, and what he has lost. Something that could only make him happy for a small amount of time before it's time was up and it had it's turn to dance with death. Like we all would have. There are those who run from it. There are those who run towards it. Those who cause it, and those who prevent it. Then there are those like the Godfather and all who inspired him, who are all of those at the same time. Most think that these kinds of people are brave, gentle parents, yet fierce warriors. Understanding and thick-headed. But there are the few that know the truth. Those kind of men are all of those things and more. But they are really something else. The truth about them. All the good and bad things they do to protect others just do one thing. It drives them mad. ~_________________________________________________________________~ The walk through the market place was fairly uneventful until they got to a certain apple stand. That's when shit hit the fan. Though most were only slightly curious about the tall creature walking with Pinkie, one who is a closer friend might be a little worried. Or a lot. To the point where the Godfather might have been bucked in the face. Twice. "Ow. That was pretty damn rude if you ask me." The Godfather said while re-locating his jaw. "Though I have had worse introductions. I remember one time I got stabbed through my left heart with a ruler. Still haven't figured out how that ruler got in my chest. Be hey, I ain't gonna dwell on the past no more." A bit more of his accent came out at the end. But no one or pony noticed. "How are you DEAD?! You got kicked in the face! That should have killed you!" Twilight said, or rather yelled at the Godfather. He only chuckled at that. "Oh don't you worry 'bout a thing. Now where was I? Oh right!" He stuck his hand out to Applejack to shake. "Howdy, my name is the Godfather and I like oatmeal." "What?" Everyone but Pinkie said in unison. "Can't a man like his oatmeal anymore without getting weird looks?" He replied with an innocent look. "What is goin' on here!" Applejack shouted. "I was getting apples for oatmeal. As for the others, I have no Idea. Do you like oatmeal?" "What, yeah, I guess. But, what are you?" "Spacelord. By the way, whats your name?" "Applejack." "Well then Applejack. How much for twenty five dozens of apples?" "Why, why would you need twenty five dozen apples?!" Twilight asked. "I really like apple oatmeal." "So you really need twenty-five dozen apples to do that?" "Eyup." "That was a little creepy." "I try. So how much." "Well, uh. Hang on." With that, Applejack walked away as the Godfather looked at his watch. "If I'm right, I'll get attacked by another one of your friends in about 3, 2, 1....." "GET AWAY FROM MY FRIENDS!" "Aaand there we go." The Godfather was hit in the face then with a measuring tape. They turned to see Rarity running down the street who then threw a topaz at him. The topaz what about the size of a baseball, but very uneven and looked like it was just picked up out of the ground. As it sailed towards the Godfather's face, it stopped in mid-air about three inches from his nose. He then grabbed it in his hand, looked at it for a few moments, before throwing it into the air. "I think ya'll are gonna like this next bit." He said as he caught it in his hand again. Only, it wasn't exactly the same as before. It was a perfect sphere, perfectly polished. and hollow with a golden mist floating in the center. As he started rolling it around his arms and hands, it didn't seem to roll, more like float across his blazer. The light became brighter each time he flipped his elbow to send it rolling to the other side. Once it looked like a nuke had gone off and was contained inside it, he placed it in his pocket and smiled. "Hello, I'm the Godfather." He said while extending his arm, oblivious to the stares from the occupants of the market square. Youtube Video
Chapter 8: Fluttershy and Some Pretty MusicsChapter 8: Fluttershy and Some Pretty Musics "Where did the music even come from?" "TAMDT." "What's that?" "My home, ship, office, and everything in between." "So like a huge alien spaceship?" "Yup. Just better." "How much better?" "A lot." "Does it have a pool?" "Look here Rainbow, I could spend hours trying to tell you all about it, and I wouldn't be even a quarter of the way done. So if you would PLEASE be quiet for now, I'll show you it. Okay?" "Fine." "Good." So after getting Rarity to calm down they continued to walk down the road towards sugercube corner. It went fairly well after that and had minimal interruptions. The universe decided it was a great time to change that. "Okay before we go any further, can you five explain to anyone else from now on who I am, cause this is REALLY annoying me. I hate repeating myself." The Godfather said. "Fine." was his only answer. "Fantastic, by the way your friend is about thirty paces to my right and looks like she is going to start staring at me, could you deal with her?" "How didja even see her?" Rainbow asked. "You learn a thing or two over the coarse of fifty thousand years." "Like?" "Well," The Godfather started, "Like playing the soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, bari saxophone, bass saxophone, flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, oboe, trumpet, trombone, superbone, tube, baritone, bass, cello, violin, viola, guitar, percussion, electric bass, and some others.

Plu-" "WE GET IT." They all replied at once. "Good. Because I only list instruments I play and "ologys" I have a degree in. To say them all would take HOURS and I don't feel like doing that. So yeah, friend, deal with her. I'll be around here. Somewhere..." He replied while looking at a amphitheater close by. "Alright. Come on, lets go." Twilight said while leading them off. -20 MINUTES LATER- "And that's who he is in a nutshell." Twilight concluded. "Um, what?" Fluttershy said. "He's just a really smart and really old alien." "Oh." "Really, I give a twenty minute speech and that's all it takes to explain it?" Twilight said. "Just simplify things. It makes life much easier." Just then, a strange noise could be heard from the amphitheater in the park. It sounded like a wheezing noise, but also like it was a strong wind. To a certain grey pegasus, it was a sign that the doctor was in. Soon, all of the town gathered around the amphitheater to see what this strange noise was. They then noticed that the noise what being played twice. Then, one of them also had thunder with it. Then, they stopped. As the silence almost made the town check to see what the sound was, the curtains opened and two bipedals could be seen on stage, each standing next to their own identical blue boxes. One, a taller red-headed man with a white blazer, carried a guitar plugged into an amp that was wired to others spread around the stage, while the other, a slightly shorter man with brown hair wearing a tweed jacket and red bow-tie, was sitting behind a drum set. The one with the guitar started playing his guitar, while the other shortly followed with his drums. They played... Youtube Video As they played the blue boxes started projecting in the air above the crowd, pictures of the humans and planet Earth along with other races such as the raxacoricofallapatorians, timelords, the Godfather's happy memories, the Doctor's happy memories, and so on. As they finished, they went into each of their blue boxes respectively and emerged again seconds later carrying different items. The Godfather, a saxophone, and the Doctor, a trumpet. The Godfather then pulled out a microphone and walked to the front of the stage. "We need some extra instrumentals and a male vocalist. Who thinks that they can do it?" After a few moments they had gotten a few volunteers to come up on stage. They split the group up so one half went with the Doctor and the other with the Godfather. Moments later they came out as bipedals. Each carryed an instrument and for one, a microphone. Each still had the same mane color, just now as their hair. One looked very much like the Godfather, just stronger. This happened to be Big mac. Others where Spike, a stallion named Foxtrot, a mare named Ratch, other stallions named Shadow Lurker, by some random chance Fancypants, Thunderlane, and Lucky Clover. They somehow managed to learn a brand new instrument and memorize and entire song in 3.5 seconds. Aliens man. They all took their place and started to play a song. They played... Youtube Video After the song was over they went back into the blue boxes and emerged again carrying different instruments. They once again took their places on stage and had memorized how to play a song and instrument in 3.5 seconds. Once again they nodded to each other and began to play. They played... Youtube Video To say the audience was breathless would be an extreme understatement. Some just tried accepting it and moving on while others tried to figure out what was going on right now. Once again, aliens man. They give you headaches. So many headaches...
Chapter 9: Mane 6Chapter 9: Mane 6 Author's Note: I edited this a bit and made it longer and fixed some mistakes. Enjoy, As they finished their last song the Godfather walked up to the front of the stage and said with a smirk. "Well, anyone want to join me for another song or two?" This time, more ponies raised their hooves to the sky. "Alright. Let's see, you, you, you, you, aaaaand you. Sorry, that's all we'll need for now. For this next part, we'll be doing a bit of country, classical, rock, electric, and whatever else I can find. Give us a moment to set up." And with that he walked off to his blue box. This time, everyone went to his box. Just like last time, he came out only seconds later with everyone changed and carrying an instrument. He once again walked to the front of the stage and shouted to the crowd. "So, change of plans. I really want to play a song for a few friends of mine that I only met recently. So, this first song should be obvious who it's for. Oh and if it isn't, my friends are the Elements of Harmony. That should clear it up. That is all." He then walked back and the band started to play their song. They played... Youtube Video When the song was over, they immediately went to get ready for the next couple songs, not even needing to go into the blue box. The band still consisted of Lucky Clover, Foxtrot, Ratch, Big Mac, Spike, Shadow Lurker, Thunderlane, and Fancypants. For some reason this guy decided to show up in this small town. Oh well, we'll never understand the rich. Though the additions were Vinyl Scratch, Octavia, a young stallion named Robbins, another middle-aged stallion named Utah, and lastly, a young mare named Mariah. Once they were finished setting up, the started their next songs. They played... Youtube Video Then they played... Youtube Video Next they played... Youtube Video After that they played... Youtube Video Lastly, they played... Youtube Video As they last key of the piano was played, the crowd roared with applause for their songs. The whole band walked to the front of the stage, shoulder to shoulder, and took a bow for their performance. Then the Godfather and Doctor walked up to the front of the stage as the others backed away from the front of the stage. The two men both carried a microphone in their right hand. The Doctor spoke up first though. "It has been a long time since I've played any kind of music. I thought I was a bit rusty. Then again, I lived here for about ten or so years without hands so that may have been why." "Same here. Except I've lived here for a bit longer. Still, I think we did good. What do ya'll think?" He finished while turning to the crowd. A roar of approval was his only response. "Yep, we did good. Well, thank you all for coming and have a nice day." "Good day to you all!" The Doctor said. With that, the Godfather clapped his hands and the transformed returned to their normal state as he disappeared. ~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~ "Um, what just happened?" Rainbow asked. "I think the alien we just met play a song for each of us, with our friends transformed into those bipedal creatures, and then disappeared while changing them all back." Rarity said. "That about sums it up." Twilight said. "Where is he now?" Fluttershy asked. "Maybe he went to the library." "Hey, I found this place that sells rice! I didn't know this town sold rice." The Godfather said, walking up to the group. "Dude, what was the whole deal with concert?" Rainbow asked. "What concert?" He asked with a confused look on his face. "The on you just put on not even five minutes ago." Applejack told him. "I didn't put on a concert." "Yes, you did." Twilight said. "I think I would remember that kind of thing. Just sayin'." "Godfather!" They turned to see the Doctor walking up with Derpy right behind him. "I bet your confused about everyone talking about a concert you supposedly put on but you can't remember, correct?" "Yup." "Well, I was just performing with you, and you told me to come and tell you to get going! You got a show to put on! Oh by the way, here's what we'll be playing." He handed him piece of paper folded up and the Godfather put it in his jacket pocket. "Well, that explains some things." The he said with a smile "Wibley Wobley," "-Timey Wimey." They said together with a laugh. "Alright, right now I'm at the library. That's if I follow my own plan." "Alright, see you there." With that, the Godfather walked towards a blue box appearing in an alleyway close by. "Oh and Doctor, thank future me for sending past me my past TAMDT." He said before he walked off. ~~~~~At The Library~~~~~ The small group arrived at the library to see the godfather, once again, wearing a different outfit. He was wearing a pair of denim jeans with a red plaid button down shirt, and a long, brown duster lying on the back of his chair. He had his back turned to the door and was reading a book titled "Lord of the Rings". He turned to face the door as they walked in and had a smile on his face. "So, how'd you like the concert?" He said as they walked in. "It was great!" Everyone except the Doctor said in unison. "Glad you liked it. You did great today too Doctor." "Same with you. We should do that again someday. Remember back when we did that concert at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas?" "Oh yes. How could I forget? That's why I love Austin, they love their live music concerts. They really like 'Ballad of the Alamo'." "Yes, and Big Iron." Meanwhile the rest of the room's occupants started their own conversation. "Hey, Derpy?" Twilight said. "Yeah Twilight?" Derpy responded. "How long have you known the Doctor?" "Oh for a couple years now. I met him when he first came to Equestria." "Have you met the Godfather before today too?" "No, but the Doctor did talk a lot about him. They seem to be very good friends from what I've heard and seen." "What's Texas?" Rainbow asked. "I think it's a place from this planet the Doctor always talked about called Earth." Derpy responded. "Yes it is." Twilight said. "How do you know Twilight?" Rarity asked. "He took me their before he met all of you. He went there old and came back without his legs. Which is what the gold explosion thing earlier all about." "Oh he regenerated!" Derpy said. "I guess. Thou-" Suddenly she was interrupted as the Godfather and the Doctor yelled out simultaneously. "ALLON-SY" They both went over to their companions to explain to the what was happening. "WE'RE GOING ON AN ADVENTURE!" They both yelled at their companions. The Godfather ran to the basement with his companions into his TAMDT. The Doctor instead ran out the front door with Derpy to his TARDIS. And now, the fun begins.
