The Story of The Godfather

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.
