Book the Eighth a.k.a. Answers

“Who are you,” was the immediate question that shot from Rainbow Dash, quite predictably. I refused to answer her but kept staring at Twilight, and it was creeping her out. Finally Rainbow Dash got in my face and repeated her question.
“I could tell you but what are the chances you would believe me,” I began, “Also, it's impolite to yell at someone who just saved your life.”

She backed up at this and muttered disbelievingly, “Tyler? Is that you?”

I smiled at her and said, “Congrats, you have taken your first steps into the multiverse. I am not a normal pony, and I know what you must be thinking, 'How can he be Tyler? Tyler would run from a fight he couldn't win.' Don't know why your thinking the second, but you are. Well, you'd normally be right; however, with me not being a pony originally I don't really have to follow your rules or logic, just like you don't have to follow mine. I come from another plane of existence one that you have probably seen out of the corner of your eye, but don't remember because brains aren't made to remember things out of the corner of your eyes. The moment you look away from me, you might forget me so to ensure that you won't forget me. Twilight you will write a letter to your princess saying that you would like to visit her at her castle and you will bring your friends, Tyler, and Doctor Whooves. Now look at this gem Rainbow Dash, but don't look away from me, does that mark look familiar.”

She stared at the diamond, as did the other ponies and the dragon. “Yeah. That looks like my cutie mark.” I nodded at this obvious statement.

“Of course,” I said, words almost dripping with sarcasm and lightly hitting the back of my head, “Why didn't I think of that? Oh, wait, I did. I meant what stone is this and what does it mean?”

She looked at me like I was stupid, finally answering, “It's a diamond and the mark means loyal.” I nodded and looked around at the others. “Look like a diamond to you girls as well,” I asked with a smile on my faces. They nodded and I muttered into my hand, “Great, that was completely and utterly pointless.” I turned away from them and started running towards the forest. They started yelling after me, but I ducked behind a tree and they quickly stopped, almost like I was never there. I looked at the diamond again, smiled and muttered, “That on the other hand, was very, very, helpful.” With that I switched back to my pony state and went back to the TARDIS. Along the way I was stopped by Twilight saying she was going to visit the princess and if I wanted to go with them, seeing how I had saved them or some other weak excuse. I pretended to consider it and reluctantly agreed.

A few days passed as the Doctor and I managed to get everything prepared for our visit to royalty. He had asked why he was visiting the castle to which I had replied truthfully, which earned me a couple of scans with the Sonic Screwdriver to confirm that while I looked like a human, I was memory-proof. The doctor muttered something about that being impossible, but started getting ready. We met the others at the train station and we finally began our journey to the capital.

“Wow! No matter what I see this place is always going to be huge,” I exclaimed in awe, and as an addendum muttered, “Especially for a bunch of ponies.” Only the Doctor heard me mutter and he gave me a slight glare. I smiled back at him sheepishly as the big ornate doors opened as we were greeted by Princess Celestia. We knelt in front of her to show our respect, and the visit began. I managed to keep from being asked questions by hiding behind the others, until I saw a statue. I just kept staring at it, a pegasus. “Are you alright,” A voice asked, probably Celestia's. I nodded and hurried back to the group, taking one look back at the statue. It was probably my imagination but it looked like it moved a bit. I shook my head and fell back into the group, and kept my eyes peeled for a way to explore the castle at my own pace. It soon showed itself and I took it.

I soon found myself looking around a long hallway, stained glass lining the walls showing the history of the Elements of Harmony. Showing from nightmare moon being sealed to Discord being resealed. I felt another presence as I looked and studied each of the windows. I turned quickly lowering my self to the floor, ready to spring, when a black (Well, dark navy blue) alicorn, her mane flowing looking like the sky at night. I quickly brought myself to a normal stance looking down at the ground. The alicorn smiled slightly as she asked, “What ist thou doing, slinking about like a thief?” I scuffed my hoof (I DID IT!) and muttered some curses under my breath before I answered, “I was looking for the princess of the night, I have a few questions for her.”

After I had spoken that I immediately apolgized to her and began running to try and find the group but the door magically closed. I chided myself for thinking that I could run and turned back to the alicorn, her horn glowing a blueish-purple. I looked at her for a few seconds before my brain made a connection. “You wouldn't happen to be the pony I was looking for, would you,” I asked sheepishly. “Indeed I am the princess of the night, Princess Luna. What dost thou wish to ask,” came the reply, her voice increasing in volume slightly.

I was becoming increasingly unnerved as her voice raised and it showed as my voice trembled as I replied, “I, a humble servant, have come asking a question,” I swallowed a lump in my throat and continued, “I would like to know about a unicorn with fur like yours and a kind of helmet. You wouldn't happen to know somepony like that, would you?” I saw her eyes shrink in what I would assume as fear as she began muttering, “No this cannot be. The elements destroyed her, what is she doing back, how is she back.” She shook her head, “You're lying, she cannot be back. I would feel it.” I sighed realizing that it would be almost impossible to convince her by arguing with her. I sighed and looked into her eyes, seeing fear in the depths.

I merely asked, “Why would I lie? I have no reason to lie, I don't even belong here, in more ways than one.” The last part was muttered but I think she understood what I implied as she backed away from me.

“What are you, speak truthfully, or else,” I could sense her fear as it mixed with anger, while she raised her speaking volume, I could feel the volume actually flatten my mane, which had been spiked before, and I became unnerved almost immediately.

I shrunk as I answered, “I. . . I'm from a far away place, and I defeated one of her minions. I managed to trick her into saying what she wanted, and it was, well. . . let's just say that it's going to be very bad if she succeeds.” She looked at me suspiciously, and I looked towards the door again. She nodded slowly and opened the door slowly. “If what thou say is true,” she began, “My sister and I, as well as the elements shall endeavor to defeat Nightmare Moon.” I nodded slowly and started trudging toward the door when I heard a far away crash of thunder. “Oh no,” I muttered and quickly started off to find the others.

I found the Doctor surrounded by guards as I approached and the air had a strange taste to it. I slowed down as I heard another pair of hooves behind me. A quick glance showed it was Luna. I quickly pointed to the Doctor and demanded, a tad more forceful then I had intended, “You need to let him go.” She glanced at me, obviously unsure. I shook my head as I crouched and jumped at the group of guards when I saw a night-sky blue aura around me as I was set down next to Luna. I looked around and saw it was Luna's magic which had stopped me from possibly signing a lifetime trip to the dungeon. She nodded slowly and walked up to the guards ordering them, her voice forceful, “RELEASE THAT PONY AT ONCE!” The guards seemed confused as a blue and white sphere appeared, and quickly dissipated revealing the princess, the other six ponies that I had gone with, and another Luna. When the second Luna appeared I stepped between the group and the Luna that I had been with. “This is not a good sign,” I stated as I prepared to try anything to stop a battle from breaking out.
