Chapters Hello, my name is David. David Thunderhead, but i just go by David. I am 20 years old and I have a light brown short hair that's made up into a bowl cut. I have dark blue eyes and pale white skin. I was never one for the normal, always choosing the most chaotic options when it came down to it. Because of this, i always acted very random, loving to make other people laugh. I was very impulsive, doing things that came to my mind almost as soon as they came to me. This built up a surprisingly positive reputation of me, mostly because of my way of not letting harmful things get to me and laughing it off quickly, seeming to not be bothered and instead being happier in the outcome.
I was always told by my parents that i had some kind of psychic ability, them saying that they notice things happening around me because of me. This included things i needed floating to me when i need them, and having a very high intelligence at a very young age, apparently being able to understand complex things at the age of 3. Of course, i didn't believe this, because all parents try to make their kid feel special. That is, until i saw my power myself.
I was in 8th grade, and i was about to get into a fight with one of the people who kept bullying me all throughout school, even in kindergarten. This was the first fight i had been in, although i was strangely experienced as the fight started. He started the fight by running at me as fast as he could, which was actually pretty fast. It went by very slowly for me though, and i saw what would have happened. I was surprised at the prediction at first, but decided to go with it since it gave me an advantage. I quickly sidestepped him, and took his confusion to uppercut him in his jaw. I saw that he was starting to go for a low sweep with he leg, and quickly jumped in the air and kicked him in the face, knocking him out. That's when it happened. I used my telekinesis to pick him up and throw him away at a nearby tree. I was very confused at what just happened, and so were his friends. They all quickly ran to their homes in fright, and i just walked home, trying to do what i did again.
I never actually told my parents they were right, i didn't focus on it much. All i did focus on was trying to perfect and increase my psychic ability.
The lucky thing is, this fight happened at the end of the school year, so i had all summer to practice, and that's all i did. My parents would catch me doing something with my ability, but never really connected the dots. When i wanted to use the power, my hands would glow a bright white, and have black sparks coming off of them, and whatever object i wanted to affect would have the same effect on them.
During that summer I decided to practice scanning and telekinesis mostly, while learning small things like shields, transformation, offensive beams, teleportation, and other things that i can't remember at this time.
One time near the end of the summer though, my parents caught me in the act of practicing. I was getting really good at keeping my focus on many things at once, and tried to create a small whirlwind with all the objects. This created a ton of noise, and my dad came to check on me. Once he opened the door, the noise was to loud for me to hear the creak. He gasped as loud as he could, which caused me to loose my concentration. He called mom over, silently shaking in his shoes while looking at me in fear and awe. Mom quickly came over and looked at my father strangely, wondering what the problem was. "Yes? what is it that you need me to see?", she said in a happy go-lucky voice.
My dad then motioned his hands at me, signaling me to go on."Are you sure?" I asked in a worried tone. He nodded and waited patiently.
"What's going on?" my mom asked, somewhat irritated, "Sure about what??"
I just silenced her by saying this, "Just watch." My dad nodded again, and started to get exited about what he was just about to witness.
I started to focus, putting the power of my mind to my hands. I usually don't have to focus, but i decided to try something big to show them. I created four things from the glowing power from my hands. The first thing i made was a ball of vigorous flames, which burned from what seemed to be nothing, and made no smoke. The second thing was a ball of pure darkness and shadow, which then combined with the fire to make a swirl of power that had perfect harmony, starting to symbolize the sun and the moon respectively.
The third thing i made was a representation of my own power, which i will now dub magic. I didn't intend for it to be like that, it just happened. I originally tried to create a form of chaos. The white ball of black sparkles bulged, and wanted to go near the perfect harmony of the sun and moon, wanting to become one. Chaos and harmony, yin and yang. I let it do so, pushing it strait into the circle. What happened next amazed me.
The orb i newly created started to push out and eventually explode, my parents watching it like a magic show. The explosion pushed out the harmony, creating a large oval that was about 7 feet tall. The chaos within it made a portal, going to the place were i had unknowingly demonstrated.
It started to suck me through. I thought i would die, and i tried all i could to stop it, but to no avail. I tried to use everything, and i mean everything. I accidentally used a transformation spell to try to make myself bigger, but the powers in the portal jumped out at me, changing my body to what THEY wanted. I became a light brown pegasus, with red eyes and a bright yellow iris. I got a bright white mane that looked a little shaggy, and felt a lot of power flow through me, enhancing my powers a lot more than it should be. This included my magic. The tentacles that latched onto me decided they had enough apparently, and threw me into the portal and closed it behind me.
I appeared in the sky, almost blacking out from exhaustion, i used what power i had left to activate a temporary feather falling spell so i wouldn't die from impact in the ground. As i hit it though, my last power kicked in, sensory and scanning. I took in all my surroundings before blacking out. I landed near a small cottage and a large and strangely spooky forest. I noticed a town ahead, a river near me, and a bright yellow pegasus mare with a pink mane. All i heard before passing out was a very frightened, "Eep!"
I woke up some time later with a small idea of what happened. I created a portal, was transformed into a pegasus, was sucked through the portal into midair, feel strait down and was knocked out. I'll remember that later, i have read enough stories to know that when something weird happens, people will investigate. I want to have a summary on what happened on me if that prediction is correct. Plus it's always good for a little refresher.
After getting out of that deep thought, i noticed something in the air. It felt very similar, if not the same, as when i used my magic. It felt nice, like a gentle spring breeze after a rainstorm, combined with the feeling of power and the feeling of losing tension. It felt... magical. That's the only way I know how to describe it. It felt right to. Like I was meant to be here, like i was meant to be in this universe. I didn't want to go, even if i didn't know were i even was. I'll have to ask that later, if i even get a chance.
I wondered what to do next. Should I try to approach calmly? I considered this idea, because as far as I knew, if there were humans in this world, they wouldn't take to kindly to a talking pony. I put that thought deep in my mind as this brought up another question, can i still talk? I wanted to do a test run of it, but remembered that i don't even know were i am. Of course, thinking quickly, i decided to hit two birds with one stone, and get up and ask someone.
When I got out of bed, I wobbled a bit, not used to walking on four hooves, or hooves in general. Pacing around the room to get a feel of it, it came surprisingly fast and i was walking perfectly in a matter of 10 minutes. I apparently caused a lot of commotion, because when i turned around i saw the very same mare that i saw right before i blacked out. I was confused, and tried to say something on the off chance that she could talk. I myself didn't believe if it would work, but i would need any help i could get.
"Umm....." I said, not sure of what to say. Well, that's me. Always forgetting everything important when it comes down to it. She responded by jumping and trying to hide behind her mane, as if not expecting me to talk. She quickly realized what she was doing, and spoke up.
"Oh, good... you're awake!" She said in a very shy tone, "but, I think you should go back to bed, you took a big beating from that fall..." She motioned towards the bed. I wanted to argue, but i knew it was the best thing to do. I walked slowly towards the bed, still getting used to walking. "Are you limping? I might have something to help that..."
"No, just getting used to walking," I blurted out. Of course, I was used to saying exactly what was on my mind before thinking it over, so this is not surprise to me. She seemed rather shocked at what i said though.
"What do you mean you're not used to walking yet?" She asked in an even more caring tone, losing all of her shyness at all. She seemed a small bit suspicious, so i decided to think it over for a second.
"..."
"..."
"...Okay, stay here and ill answer all your questions, cause my answer will no doubt make more questions." I started turning to walk towards a chair, but she motioned towards the bed again. I shrugged, and walked towards it, laying down and turning to look in her direction, which was in near the bed, hovering next to me. "Ask away...."
"Fluttershy" She finished. I motioned for her to go on and ask her next question. "What did you mean by getting used to walking?"
"Well, I was just transformed into a pony, I'm not used to walking on hooves, let alone on all fours." I answered honestly.
"You were just transformed into a pony... I'm not sure I believe that. Can you explain?"
"Yes, i can. What happened is this..."
I proceeded to tell her the summary i made earlier in my head. I knew that would come in handy! She listened to every word respectfully, and decided to press on.
"How did you create the portal?"
"Well, I'm not sure, it was a complete accident. I have a small reserve of power in me, it feels chaotic, and looks kinda like this:" I activated my powers, which appeared over my hooves. I decided to kill three birds with one stone, and try to heal myself. I partially succeeded, closing scars and making some bruises disappear. She was shocked and impressed at the same time. I spoke first. "Well, good to know i still have my magic..."
"Oooooooh" She said, awed by my healing magic. "That's wonderful... but can you explain to me, if you weren't a pegasus, which is obvious right now since pegasi don't have magic like unicorns, but what were you, and where were you from?" She asked, trying to be as gentle as possible. It seemed she understood that i had left my family and friends behind by the way she talked. I smiled, acknowledging the kindness.
"I was a human, a hairless ape, similar size and shape to a bear, but more sleek, no claws, and less aggressive. From were i was from, it was a planet called Earth, in the Milky Way galaxy. I'm not sure that matters, because it seems I teleported to a different universe. I guess that makes me an alien! Haha, I guess I never took that into consideration. And before you ask, yes, i do miss my family and friends, but i don't think there is a way for me to get back. That, and it feels like I'm supposed to be here for some reason. Whatever, I guess I'll have to look into that."
"Well, that kinda explained it for me. It seems you're healed enough to go out into Ponyville, so try to meet everypony you can, friendship is a big thing around here. Before you ask, Ponyville is that town near this house, opposite of the forest."
"Thank you Fluttershy. I'm glad that it was someone as kind as you who ended up being my first friend." I said, very happy that i got to explore and make a new friend. It felt empowering for some reason, gaining a friend. I guess it is a little more important than she let on. I'll have to ask that later. "By the way, can I ask were I am? Not the town, but the world."
"Why, you are in Equestria... I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name."
"My name is David Thunderhead, but i think going by your name, I'll just use my last name as the one i go by."
"Thank you, and welcome to Equestria Thunderhead."
I flew out the door, heading towards town. I can't wait for what might happen there. The good thing is, i won't have to wait, since apparently I have extremely strong wings, and broke the sound barrier almost immediately. Apparently the transformation was rushed and gave me very powerful limbs. That's very good to know. Well, off towards Ponyville!
Rainbows. Tons of Rainbows...
In the couple of seconds of flying it took me to go to Ponyville, I noticed a few things. The first thing being that there weren't many diverse buildings in this town, except for a select few, which stand out more than rainbow on white paper. There is one that looks like a carousel with cardboard cutouts of moving ponies on the top. If i hadn't seen the door, I would have though it to be a real carousel. The second was a giant treehouse that was apparently the local library. Taking note to come back there, because it was most likely were i was going to get my answers, I searched around the town more.
The locals here seem to be very friendly, not caring that I'm new and in fact smiling at me more because of it. A few snickered, not sure why, but I have a feeling i might soon find out. I reached the outskirts of town before i was done, most likely because i love to zigzag and try to use the weirdest possible route to search. Probably because I just love chaos and randomness.
Speaking of the locals, when I first entered the town itself, I never thought it would be that bad. If you don't understand what I mean, the problem for me was the colors. I didn't even begin to think that it would rise up to be a problem. Well, I guess it's not really a problem, more of an annoyance that I will eventually get used to. Honestly, I just that somehow everyone got drunk off rainbows or something. Due to the fact that this place is so cartoony, I believed it. But not that much.
That is, until i noticed a cloud mansion high in the sky, that was literally spilling rainbows all over the place. I didn't really know what to think, so i just flew up there as fast as i could. Which wasn't really long to be honest, probably took a couple of seconds.
The feeling was ecstatic. I can honestly say that i accidentally broke the sound barrier. I believe it was mach 10 or something, but I don't really know. All I know is that I made it in a matter of seconds, and it looked extremely far away. I looked behind me to find not only a crowd of around 50 awed ponies and one particular rainbow maned one that looked like she just saw a ghost, but a white sonic wave with black sparks emanating off the edges of the it. I myself was awestruck that I did something like this, I don't even know how it happened. I think I'll name it. The Chaotic Boom. I like that name, gonna have to remember it when this happens again, if it ever does.
As soon as I came back to reality after being lost in thought, I noticed the rainbow maned pegasus was now right in front of me, eyeing me like i was some sort of monster, and at the same time, she still had awe in her eyes. Somewhere, I just know it.
"What the hell was that? And why did it look like my Sonic Rainboom!?" She asked, in a very angry tone. Not sure where it came from, but I didn't really care. The only question on my mind was...
"What's a Sonic Rainboom?"
"You don't know what a Sonic Rainboom is? It's the most well known pegasus fantasy tale of all time! I'm the only pony to have ever done it, and you just did something so close to it! How!?"
"I don't know, I didn't do it on purpose, I just saw this house up here spilling rainbows and I wanted to check it out as fast as possible. It just happened when i flew here at i believe mach 10."
"Mach 10?! That's how fast it takes me to do a sonic rainboom!"
"Maybe they're the same, but unique in their own way?" I suggested in a still calm tone. I should mention by now that i honestly am not easily intimidated. After I found my power I realized that I at least stood a really good chance at those who attack me. Maybe not a good way to look at life, but still makes it so I cant fear. Very helpful in many situations.
"EXCUSE ME, RAINBOW DASH, GET BACK DOWN HERE AND BRING THE NEW PONY HERE!" shouted a new voice from below. Trying to use psionic ability to look at the vibrations, it seemed to come from a lavender unicorn. (oh wow, they have those to. What's next, a flying unicorn?) Doing a small personality scan, (very easy with these ponies, they're like an open book) I figured out she was an obsessive reader but had many leadership values and social qualities.
"FINE TWILIGHT! You, new pony, come with me. Hey, by the way, since you obviously know mine now." The pegasus in front of me apparently named 'Rainbow Dash' asked me with a small amount of frustration directed at her lavender companion.
I thought fast and decided to use my last name instead of my full name. Due to the name that I've heard so far, it should work. "Sorry, my name is Thunderhead. Pleased to meet you." I said in my happiest voice possible. Rainbow, Twilight, Fluttershy, and 3 other ponies seem to have a close bond to each other and that enjoying mist in the air. Another thing I'll have to look into. I wonder how long the list would be right now.
"Nice name Thunderhead. Now let's go." She said, and took off with me right next to her. She looked at me with a challenging look and stopped. I stopped as soon as she did. "Hm... you know what, I think we need to prove who's faster, me or you... Let's race to Twilight's, it's where were supposed to go anyways. You know were that is, don't ya?"
"Judging by your memories, it's the treehouse-library crossover. Yeah, I mapped it in my head on the way here." I said nonchalantly like it was no big deal. She thought otherwise.
"What do you mean judging by my memories?" She said in a more curious tone.
"I have psionic powers that can do a lot of different things. One of those things would be memories, and it only takes one second of touch to read a ton of them. And you just punched my shoulder." I said, "Oh and don't worry, I would never look at your more... weird... memories or fantasies. In fact, I set up a subconscious barrier in your head so no one can see them." I looked at her happily.
"Well, it's good to know that nopony will ever see those..." She giggled when she brought them up, Which I ignored, and instead located the library in my sensory vision.
"Okay then, On your marks... Get set..."
"Hold on, I wanna say go."
"Um... sure Rainbow. I don't really care who says it, I just care about leaving you in my dust." I said with a hint of challenge in my words.
"And...... GO!" She yelled, and we both raced off. I immediately performed a Chaotic boom, leaving her in my wake and making my way to the library in a manner of 30 seconds. She pulled up about a minute later with a sad look on her face. "I hate losing..." She quietly pouted.
"Don't worry Rainbow, it's not like I'm native, so it shouldn't matter." I accidentally blurted out, getting the attention of the lavender unicorn.
"What do you mean you're not native so it shouldn't matter? Does that mean you're from a different world or universe?!?" She yelled mellow-dramatically. "I have to run some tests on you!"
"Weren't you gonna do that anyways? And it won't matter, I was transformed when I came here."
"Transformed...?" They both said simultaneously.
"Ugh... alright, sit down, I'll explain it all from the start..."
The first equestrian eclipse
"And that's how Equestria was made!" said the same voice from behind me that yelled at me in hyper speed a couple hours ago.
"Wait, what? That's no-" I try to say, until she interrupts me.
"By the way, your party will be at Sugarcube corner at eight, be surprised and don't be late!" She said, then immediately ran out the door.
"May I ask, before I'm bombarded with question, how did she get in here? I didn't even sense her approaching, and I can sense that ant over there." I said, pointing a hoof at a single ant about 20 meters out the door.
This got Twilight's attention, "Sense her? You can sense things? How? And what else can you do? You must have a couple more abilities other than just the one, so can you explain the know ones? Can we do a test afterwards to find unknown ones?" she said, getting out a quill, some ink, and a notepad.
I leaned over to Rainbow and whispered "See, bombarded by questions..." She couldn't help but laugh.
"WELL" I said, standing up and getting ready to demonstrate, "First thing I figured out I could do was use telekinesis." I said, floating away the items Twilight grabbed easily, even with her resisting. "Second thing I figured out was the ability to use pressure" I then proceeded to crush the ink bottle with extreme ease. "Third was pyromancy." I burned up the notepad. She got very mad and pushed harder to take away the quill, which was the last one left, to no avail. "Next, Ice and nature." The quill froze in an ice block from water that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was pierced as soon as it appeared by a vine coming from the tree.
"No! Why did you do that!" Twilight screamed, angered by my destruction.
"Then, recovery and healing." Then out of the ashes, broken ice parts, glass, and ink started to glow white, and were put right back together and on the table as if nothing happened to them at all. To further prove my point, I gestured to my back, which I didn't heal. They gasped in response as the white glow appeared on my back and completely healed it.
"Wow... even I can't do all of that..." Twilight said, flabbergasted by my demonstration. "But there are still some things you can't do!" She said, looking a bit more proud, and hitting me in the arm out of pride.
"Twilight, I thought you hated boasting after what happened with Trixie. The first time, I mean." I said, looking annoyed that she didn't let me continue my demonstration.
"How did you know about that?!" She asked, shocked at my sudden knowledge of her past. Rainbow just giggled.
"Well, with even a second of touch, I can read someones memories and personalities." She started to look somewhat embarrassed, to which Rainbow just laughed even more. "Don't worry, I don't look at weird fantasies, that's just not cool." I said, reassuringly. She brightened up at this, but still didn't speak, letting me go on so I didn't embarrass her more. Quick learner.
"After that, I quickly became very masterful with the elements, going as far as, with some strain, controlling the sun and moon. Even creating small ones for a short amount of time."
"Oh my Celestia..." They both said at the same time.
"What?" I asked, confused.
"Not even Celestia has the power to make a small sun or moon for a short amount of time, and they are the strongest magic users in Equestria, raising the sun and moon each day..." Twilight explained, looking amazed.
"I bet that's just a lie! Only Celestia and Luna has control over the Sun and Moon! If you can do this stuff, prove it!"
"How? I could do change their position for a second or so, and change them back, going one full day, but wouldn't that anger this 'Celestia' and 'Luna'?" I said honestly concerned.
"That is very wise thinking indeed, Thunderhead." Said a very regal voice behind me. I didn't turn around, because I already knew they were there.
"Hello, Celestia, I could sense your magical influence from a mile away. I could tell you just appeared there, so want me to explain the other magics I can do?"
"No, no, I can already tell you have control over the elements. Including the sun and moon. Care to demonstrate?" She asked me in such a tone that I had to turn around and bow to her. What? She was the ruler, had a voice like a choir on the brightest of days, and wasn't constantly demanding respect.
"Rise, Thunderhead. Please, show us a demonstration of your powers over something not even we can control."
"YES, PLEASE SHOW US THIS POWER!" Said the midnight blue alicorn behind Celestia. This has been confirmed as Luna.
"Yes, please try not to speak so loud." I deadpanned. My face brightened up quickly and said, "Alright, please, follow me outside, and try not to hide behind your sister, Luna. I knew you were there. Can't hide from one who can see with no eyes."
We all walked outside, following me. Luna looked surprised at what I said, before giggling and following us.
We ended up in town square, I was on a stage on the right of Celestia, and Luna on the left of Celestia. It seemed like everypony in town came to see Celestia speak. I didn't sense her cast any spell that would inform everypony, so I guess it was rare for her to come down here.
"Hello, my little ponies, I am here with my sister to not show you something, but to be part of the crowd and watch this" She gestured to me, "pony here do something only I have done, and something only me and my sister have done at the same time!" She announced, leaving everypony wondering what was going to happen. Princess Luna spoke up.
"This pony is named Thunderhead, know him well, because we suspect he is more powerful than we are! He claims to have control over the elements, including the sun and moon, so we're going to test this theory in front of everypony here!" She announced. Looking at me she said, "Well, let's get the show on the road!" She then sat with her sister in two chairs at the side of the stage where everypony could see them.
I got up to the middle of the stage, confident in what I was about to do. Nopony had ever done it, it seems, and I was going to be the first. Then the show started. My front hooves glowed white with a large amount of white sparks coming off of them. My wings flared as I rose into the air, my eyes filling with pure power, becoming very very white. I was at least 10 feet off the ground now, not being fully aware of my surrounding, I focused on the sun and the moon at the same time. Black sparks trickled off me at least 5 per second, looking like embers of pure power, and hitting the ground. The moon started to rise up from the horizon, and the sparks fell more often. The sun struggled to move away, but I kept it there, against what it wanted. The moon inching ever closer, eventually moving strait in front of the sun to make an eclipse. It lasted for a good minute before my power died down, and I slowly fell to the ground. The sun bolted away, making it become night. I noticed this, and used almost the rest of my power to make it the next day but the right time. I finally hit the ground, feeling drained for a few seconds before the magic came back.
I looked around the crowd, including the princesses, and all I saw were dumbfounded faces, each and every one awed in my demonstration of power, and started cheering as loud as possible. Not wanting to hear it, I decided to teleport away to the library with Celestia and Luna in a flash of white light.
They were both awed at me, and bowed. Not expecting this, I just went on instinct. "Rise, princesses. You need not bow to me." I said, in my best regal tone as possible.
"But.. but.." was all Celestia could say. She couldn't find the words, but Luna came to her rescue.
"What she is trying to say, is that neither of us suspected you to be capable of that. Even we, at the same time, can't make an eclipse. Only at the highest point of power can we do that, and we still end up fainting after it. But you... you don't seem phased in the slightest, and you even moved the sun and moon back in their places when finished. AND you teleported us away! How?"
"I-" Was all I could say before Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie pie, and two others barged into the library, very angrily. That seems like a tradition in this town, something new? Get angry. Just like humans!
"What the tartarus was that?!?" Said Twilight. She bumped into me again, letting me figure out the names of the other two and who they were. The white one with the overly styled purple mane and tale was Rarity, and the Orange one with blond ponytails (Hehe, ponytails on a pony) was named Applejack.
"Twilight! Such rude talk to the most powerful pony in Equestria!" Both Celestia and Luna said.
"Woah, I wouldn't say that, I'm just a pegasus, and you two are alicorn princesses! I can't be that."
"What do you mean most powerful pony in Equestria?!" Rainbow shouted at them, not noticing me or what I said.
"Don't worry, I know exactly how you feel" Said Fluttershy to me, giggling. I felt like I didn't exist, just watched.
"Rainbow dash, Twilight, this pony here did something none of us could ever think of doing! He made an eclipse! We could never do that without years of preparation! This pony has shown he is capable for so much more than us! I'm not surprised he didn't turn into an alicorn with all the magic he used." Said Celestia.
"Are ya telling us that this pony right 'ere" She pointed at me, "is stronger than ya are? I don know if'n I can believe that. But I sense the honesty in your voice, so I don know what t'do." Applejack stated, obviously confused.
"Can someone please list-" was all I said before being interrupted yet again by somepony who hadn't noticed me.
"Look, we don't really know how he did it, but it still happened nonetheless. All we can do is accept that he is stronger. We can sense that he had only good intentions, if the fact that he hasn't destroyed Ponyville so far is proof enough, we would have him taken away and interrogated to prove he wasn't a threat if we weren't sure." Explained Luna, looking kindly at me.
Just then, I noticed all the magical residue was being absorbed by one creature who didn't show up as any particular animal, but many at once. I listened in on it's thoughts silently, not letting myself be noticed. "hehehehe... those ponies think me to be reformed, but now that I have gathered this much chaos from the air, I can start planning my revenge." I didn't know who it was, and I didn't know its intentions. But from what I hear, it was planning revenge. I didn't think it to be anything, but decided to stay updated by it, just to be sure. Oh, how I was wrong...
Me and Fluttershy scurried away from the argument that obviously didn't need us there. Once we were out of earshot I teleported us to her cottage, only to be greeted by an angry looking bunny.
"Why, hello bunny, what's your name?" I asked, remembering one of my powers.
My name is Angel, but I'm sure flutters is just gonna tell him anyways. Angel thought, not knowing I could hear him.
"His name is-" Fluttershy tried to say.
"Angel hm... nice name, love the irony." I stated, surprising Fluttershy and Angel.
Can he hear me? How? Does he have the same gift Fluttershy does?
"Yes and no, Angel. If Fluttershy's gift is the ability to pick up on the telepathic communications of animals, then yes. If not, then I don't know her gift." I stated, like it was nothing.
"Oh!" Said Fluttershy, feeling more comfortable around me. "You can talk to animals to? That's amazing! I've never met another pony who could!"
Hm first pony to ever get Fluttershy to be that comfortable around someone that wasn't her friends. I like you.
"Thanks Angel. Anyways, how long do those arguments usually stand, Fluttershy?"
"Not that long, they might be done by now." Answered Fluttershy, casually. Felt nice that somepony as shy as her could act casually around somepony she didn't really know.
"Well, I need to ask you something. Maybe Angel could help, he seems to have a very high connection with you."
I guess I could help. Angel thought, open to help someone who could understand him.
"Okay then, ask away." Fluttershy said happily.
"Before we walked out of the library, I noticed something absorbed all the magical residue I left behind when I made the eclipse, and whatever absorbed it talked about revenge and something about ponies failed to reform it. Do you know who this is?" They stayed silent for a second, they looked uneasy.
I don't think we should talk about that anymore, but from what I can hear, the princesses want to talk to you.
"I know, I sensed them coming to. Thanks for the talk you two." Then I noticed Fluttershy was still silent. "Flutters, you gonna be okay?"
"Yeah, I just don't want to talk about him. You go talk to the princesses."
"I have a feeling you will be needed there, come on." I said, walking out the door. She silently follows, and I get the feeling she doesn't want to talk about what just happened.
We walked out of Fluttershy's cottage to see Celestia and Luna. "Hello, Thunderhead, Twilight told us that you are not normally a pony. We would like to know what you used to be, and as much information you have of your race and planet." Luna asked and stated at the same time.
I nodded to Fluttershy, "Can you explain it to them? I have a feeling there is someone I need to see. I can sense him over there." I pointed a hoof towards a tree about 30 meters away. A brown earth stallion walked out from behind it, laughing sheepishly. He has a darker brown mane and an hourglass tattoo, or cutie mark, as these ponies called it. "I'll leave it to you three. Goodbye for now." I said, walking off.
"Why, hello David Thunderhead, I see you made a first impression with the princesses well." Said the stallion.
"I would believe so. I mean, they said I made the first eclipse in Equestria. I don't believe it, I could sense they were spirits, so they should be much more powerful than me."
"Well, I would like to explain that to you, if you would follow me into my blue box, we can begin."
"I can sense someone else in there. Who is it?" The stallion looked at me strangely, and I clarified, "Not the TARDIS, no, a blue earth pony with a white and blue mane. She has a connection towards you. Bigger than companion..."
He couldn't believe what he was hearing, "How do you know all that stuff, and how did you detect it through the TARDIS' barriers?"
"Not sure, just rolling with it, now, you wanted to talk to me, Doctor?" I said, almost smirking.
"Yes, yes, follow me into the TARDIS." He said, and began walking inside. I followed, knowing what was coming next.
"hmmm... bigger on the inside. But the inside isn't portrayed by the outside, and is really a different universe, for the TARDIS. or something like that."
"Wow, I always like it when someone says 'bigger on the inside' but I'm surprised you figured out how it's done. Good job. But we're gonna have to keep it down, Minuette is in the bedroom."
"Bunk-beds?"
"Bunk-beds." He confirms, laughing.
"Don't worry, I know you can tell I can read minds by touch, but I wouldn't dream of reading the personal thoughts and memories. I partially know what you went through, and I won't force you to relive it." This causes him to sigh in relief. Yay.
"Moving on to what I needed to talk to you about, I can sense an energy coming off of you, especially when you made the eclipse. That energy would be chaotic energy. You have about as much as the spirit of chaos in this realm has. I don't know why this is, nor do I know why you came here. But if I can guess, it might have been linked. I'll keep you updated, and you me, and together we can figure this out. All I can tell is, the portal you accidentally made to get here was patched up in the end, so you," He puts on his 3D glasses, "No void stuff. I was correct, you are supposed to be here for some reason. I don't know why, but it's true. You mind demonstrating some of your powers for me? Maybe it will shed some light."
Point of View of The Doctor
"Okay then, but can you give me a glass of water and a piece of tree bark?" He asked me. I had a feeling I knew what he meant, so I just gave them to him without another word. "Okay, first thing is that I have control over the elements. At least some of them. You saw the eclipse, I believe, so that's some proof." He was right, I was watching it. "First thing is water and earth." He froze the glass of water and had a vine come right out of the bark and wrap it up, crushing it. Similar... "Next is fire." He burned the paper to nothing. "Next it transportation. Look outside." I heard a big flash, and went to open the TARDIS.
"You moved her all the way into space... but how do we still have air?"
"Fourth, Is air. There is an oxygen bubble around the TARDIS about 50 feet out. Similar, huh?"
"Impressive... anything else?"
"Healing and fixing." He took the ashes, broken glass and ice, and rose it into the air outside the TARDIS, and restored them to how they were before I gave them to him. "Get back inside, we spent a lot of time, and I believe I need to talk to the princesses about housing and such." I head another flash, and we were back on the planet. "Goodbye!" He finished, and walked out of the TARDIS.
"I'll have to keep an eye on him.." I muttered
7:30. Half hour till the party. I met many ponies, most of them nice, some of them refusing to talk to me because of my trick. Those ponies probably aren't coming to the party. Good that it was only a select few of them. The ponies I did meet, however, were very kind. I met a blue unicorn named Trixie who demanded I show her a trick. Of course, being the bastard I am AND already having a plan in place, I refused at the time, promising that she would get the show of her life at the party. She vowed to make it, only to see me perform.
Let me get you caught up. I left the TARDIS at about 3:00, took about an hour to talk to the princesses and agree on housing. They bought me land above the everfree forest, where I used most of my magic to make a thunderhead house for myself. Thought it to be fitting, due to my last name. My- control over wind and water really helped in the making of it, but I won't go into detail until Twilight forces me to, and I am pretty sure that is going to happen. Somehow.
I spent an hour alone in my new cloud house, thinking up my plan. I decided on making the party the best new pony party ever. I will teleport inside the place 2 minutes after its time, behind everypony, flash on a small sun to use as a disco ball, and scream SURPRISE! Then I'll perform, letting everypony showcase their abilities, and then pouring mine into there talents to make themselves look better. That's all I will give for now. As far as you know, that's all I'm doing. I don't want Pinkie using her fourth wall breaking abilities to interrogate you. Still love that about her, she's more crazy than I am.
The other ponies I met consist of the elements, Lyra Heartstrings, Bonbon, and Vinyl Scratch (who liked my music idea). I walked the streets, contemplating my idea, and if there were enough unicorns in town to pull it off. I knew everypony had different magic depending on their coats or abilities, and that both princesses were coming to the party, but still, it may not be enough to test this. Ah screw it, no matter what happens, it will be fun.
7:55. 7 minutes before I teleport in. I had the spell ready to set my own music, I convinced myself that there were enough unicorns, and that it would all go swimmingly. I might even be able to use the princesses in the trick, if I was powerful enough. Who am I kidding, I made the first equestrian eclipse, I am powerful enough to do this.
8:00. 2 minutes before the party really starts. They're all waiting for me, and I know they can wait. I'm in my cloud house waiting for the right moment. Tick-tock goes the clock, 8:01. I think I just heard The Doctor shudder. 10 seconds until the teleport, 5 second until the party begins.
3.....
2.....
1.....
"SURPRISE, EVERYPONY!" I scream as I flash in behind them. Using my magic to get the disco ball up, I said, "YOU READY FOR A PARTY YOU'LL NEVER FORGET?" They all responded in a massive cheer, and I took the hint to start up the music. "THEN LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED "
Pinkie and her friends ran up to me as the music started. Before they could get to me, I erected a stage out of the ground, teleporting everypony to the town square, preparing my performance, much to Trixie's excitement.
"How did you upstage me! I'm the party mare!" Pinkie said, for the first time, confused.
"That's just how I am Pinkie, CHAOTIC!" I said, laughing.
"Well, I have to commend you, nopony has ever been able to do that! I hope this goes well, just like you said!" Pinkie stated, back to her happy state.
"Thanks pinkie. Now, ahem... HELLO MARES AND GENTLECOLTS, YOU READY FOR A MAGIC SHOW!!!!" I screamed. Everypony cheered. "IF YOU'RE SO EXCITED ABOUT IT, ACTIVE YOUR MAGIC, UNICORNS! YOU'LL BE AMAZED!" I boomed again. Everypony did as told, well, those who could. I took control of the auras around there horns, flying into the air, making the biggest light show you've ever seen. Everypony were awed, everypony cheered as I landed. It was the best thing they have ever seen. I did tricks in the air similar to rainbow dash, using the magics around me to created a swirl around my in the shape of a comet, making an amazing demonstration of power. I ended up high above the stage, getting ready for the best chaotic boom in a lifetime. I started my dive, the cone around me narrowing with the sonic barrier. I purposefully let the suspense fill the air. Celestia and Luna both looked at me with awe as well as the other ponies. Right when I would have crashed, I sped up, turned up at a 45 degree angle, creating a chaotic boom full of magic. A sonic boom of yellow, midnight blue, purple, light blue, white, white with black sparks, and normal blue filled the sky, creating the finale. I looped around onto the stage, and everypony cheered for a good 5 minutes at my display. Some demanding encores, some just loving every moment of it. The chaotic boom reached all the way to the dragon kingdom, and I could even hear them cheer. I was happy. "HEY EVERYPONY, WE'RE NOT DONE YET!" To this they beamed. "NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! SHOW YOUR TRICKS TO THE REST OF THE YOU! TAKE THE CHANCE FOR ME TO INCREASE YOUR ABILITY! LET'S SEE A REAL SHOW!"
Rainbow Dash was the first to step up. "Let's put that to the test, increase the power of my sonic rainboom!"
"CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! LET'S BEGIN!" I flooded my magic into her, allowing her to create a sonic rainboom easily. She soared into the air, preparing. Then she flew strait down, creating the sonic rainboom. Not allowing myself to be proven wrong, I flooded more magic into her, letting create another sonic rainboom right then and there. The second one was made of fire. A double rainboom. Before she could cause an accident in the stage I halted her. She was amazed. "And that, is what I can do." I whispered to her as she landed.
"Wow... a double rainboom... that's not even talked about anymore. The sonic rainboom was a legend, but the double rainboom was a fairy tale.. that was AWESOME! YOU HEARD HIM EVERYPONY, LET'S SEE A SHOW!" Everypony cheered again, and Celestia was the next to walk forward.
"What can you do with my ability?" She asked. Before anyone could protest to what she would do, Celestia created a mini sun, and moved it high into the sky.
"Oh Celestia, you give me the biggest canvas of all, and I intend to use EVERY INCH OF IT!" I screamed, exiting myself and even Celestia. Before she could respond, I activated my power, and the sun she made was rainbow, changing colors at breakneck speeds. Then Luna stepped in.
"Oh Thunderhead, let's put you to the ultimate test!" She said, raising her hoof in the air, "the power will be DOUBLED!" She activated her power, creating a mist around the sun. Still visible, but had a night sky around it.
"Just as I was hoping, thanks, Luna!" I said, then used all the stars as mirrors pointing up and down and everywhere. I made a laser light show with all of them.
"Well that's not to impressive, compared to earlier." Said Celestia and Luna at the same time.
"Oh, you haven't seen ANYTHING!!" Just then, the sun Celestia created collapsed due to my magic, and made a black hole, sucking in all the stars around it. It made a giant wormhole, that shot light everywhere, basking everything in it, then it disappeared. The black hole was gone, leaving everypony baffled, even the princesses. "ANYPONY ELSE WANT TO SHOW OFF?" I asked the crowd.
Five hooves shot in the air. "THAT'S ALL I NEED!" It was a great party.
The first pony up after that was Trixie, and she used her fireworks. I caught her embers, and made a huge fire show out of it, eventually blowing the embers over the crowd into a rainbow fire stream. The next was Rarity, who made herself a dress. I was confused for a second, before coming up with an idea. I took the gemstones off her dress, rearranging them in a specific pattern, before shooting a light pulse at one. I tried to use crystal pony magic when doing this, and the magic hit every gem, gaining the colors of each one. The light ended, and Rarity became a crystal mare of 50 different gem colors, from ruby to sapphire, and diamond to amethyst. She fainted in delight. The third was Vinyl, and we ended up getting into a DJ battle, me using the music already playing and her using custom music. I eventually lost, but the entire thing was heard over Equestria. It still goes down in history today as the best battle to every come. The fourth was Fluttershy, to my amazement, and she called birds to serenade everyone, but I was a step up from her.
In that time I was alone, I befriended a lot of the creatures from the everfree forest. Mainly three manticores. I called them, told them not to hurt anypony, and help me with a show. All three ran from the forest, which was behind me, and the stood in front of me. Everypony reeled back from fright, before they realized what I was doing. The serenade continued, while I used the second manticore's tail as a guitar, and the other two made a drumbeat to go along with the song. The 5th and final pony to raise his hand was none other than The Doctor.
"You know who I am, so amaze me." He said, looking happy. He couldn't even begin to think what I would do. I used my magic to start messing with time. I weaved my way into the memories of everypony, choosing those who passed away that was important to them, I had everypony have a mental conversation with said ponies. Everypony but the Doctor were crying in happiness for what was happening. I the created a window to the time vortex in front of him, and used all the power I had to create the words: Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey and the Alons-y! In the vortex, then closed it. He looked amazed at the performance, and then clapped with his hooves the best he could for as long as possible. He succumbed to the time magic and had a conversation with most likely Amy Pond. Everypony was released at the same time. They all stomped their hooves on the ground, and The Doctor walked up to me and said only two words: "Thank you..." He then walked back into the crowd, before a line was made to say the exact same thing to me.
When everypony was done, I ramped up the music, and continued the party.
And it was the best party ever.
After the party ended, everypony went home rather slowly, probably because of the fact that it went on until Celestia had to raise the sun. Being the good pony I am, I gave her a lot of my energy, and tried to raise the sun and lower the moon myself. Didn't work out exactly as I wanted it, because I almost fainted afterwards. Luckily, my magic has a strange regenerative property to it, so I regained power quickly. The sun court was cancelled today for some unknown reason, and I would be tempted to try to find out if I cared enough. The library was closed, probably connected, but as I said, I just don't care.
Many ponies tried to find my house. None succeeded. I live in a massive thunderhead over the everfree forest, so if a pegasus was brave enough to just fly over that place, they wouldn't be able to damage the giant storm. Except Rainbow Dash, in which I responded by putting up a magical coating in the clouds. Nopony else really bothered me, and I was free in my massive area to practice everything, and I mean everything. Alchemy, the same idea as ki from Dragon Ball Z. Loved that show, and I figured this was the perfect time to mimic a Kamehameha. Figured out there is a lot more that you can do with ki. If you can control it freely, not only can you do waves and beams, but move them and divert them in many different directions, making walls to attack with, or even trapping. I was, of course, doing all of this in my testing chamber. The walls there absorbed all the magic and send it back to the caster, making it the perfect training spot.
The next thing I worked on was alchemy, the rule of equivalent exchange. The first thing I focused on was purely casting it, which I grasped control of rather quickly. My magic made a lot of things simpler for some reason, breaking laws that shouldn't ever be broken. The next step in what I was doing was trying to break the biggest restraint in alchemy, the creating of energy into matter. Each of those two forces go by the same force, and I just saw it being begged to be broken. Took a few days of endless practice to master it, but I think it was well worth it. My magic is infinitely recharging, and magic itself is a form of energy, that's why it works the way it can work, making changes to the world as the caster sees fit. I know that I am treading on dangerous grounds here, being able to use infinitely recharging magic to make objects. I tested it, and noticed how it let out a lot of residue.
Trying to master it more and more, to control it, I found it was no use. I would need to get stronger for that to be the case. I can remember that as I was using the magic, the residue was absorbed more and more, and more snickering was heard from whatever revenge driven creature I was in contact with. I heard parts of it's plan, to attack Twilight before Celestia knows he is gone. Good plan, honestly, but I heard him. I got a plan to ambush and try to trap him, but telling Celestia could ruin that, so I kept it as a secret. I only heard that and its name. Discord. Cool name to. Too bad he was trying revenge...
Then I heard something try to teleport it. Most likely Celestia, so I took down my barriers. As soon as she showed herself, I bowed out of respect. I might be impulsive, but she was still royalty.
"Hello again, Thunderhead. Rise." she commanded, softly. "I need you to come with me. The girls are at the library, and me and Twilight will reveal everything to you and them there."
I didn't know what she was even taking about in the first place, but I just went with it. Mostly because I was confident nothing could every go wrong, like the idiot I am. I am lucky Jinx wasn't watching.
She teleported us out of the house, and into the library, where Twilight immediately spoke up. "Alright, now that everypony is here, I can get started with the explanations." The nodded at this, and she continued on. "Thunderhead, do you know of a creature named Discord?" she asked me. I debated telling about revenge, but I already knew who he was and what he did. Oh memory ability, I love thee.
"Yes, I know who he is and what he did." I said. "He is the current spirit of chaos and the spirit of disharmony in this realm. He did bad things using chaos magic, but he was imprisoned twice, then reformed. What about him?"
"Well, as you said, he uses the most powerful form of magic there is. Chaos magic. It can't be countered, and can easily break laws of nature." She said, everypony nodding in confirmation. "Thunderhead, it appears this is the form of magic you posses. What color magic is it when you use something like levitation? I've noticed it's white with black sparks when using a powerful spell, but what about a weak one?"
I did what she asked, and my hooves glowed a small amount of golden, but nothing happened. Of course, not noticing anything being effected, I stopped.
And that's when the library fell to the ground with a giant "THUMP".
"As I thought, golden. That's chaos magic for you. But what are we going to do with this?" She asked, turning to Celestia.
"Well, I don't see him to be a threat. He has only done things he has been asked to do by good sources, or used it for other ponies enjoyment. I think we can let him keep it. Do you agree?" Celestia asked me.
"I agree that I should keep my powers, but that is just nature to not want power taken away. I promise not to do anything harmful to the ponies of Equestria unless it is for the well being of the planet." I said with extreme honesty. I didn't need to add the last part, but I knew when this Discord was coming back, it would have to happen.
"Okay then. Thunderhead, I can sense you mastered a new form a magic or two, care to show us? I would like to keep on top of your abilities." Celestia calmly asked me.
"We must go far away from Ponyville for safety, but yes, princess." I said, and teleported everypony far away from the library, keeping a fix on it for the trip back. "Okay then, class is in session. Or, I guess the show must go on!" Nopony really said anything about the teleportation. I guess they trusted me. Didn't really understand it, but I didn't question it.
"You know how you can fire a small beam from your horn, Celestia?" she nodded n confirmation. "I figured out how to well control that into a very large amount of power. Let me introduce, the Kamehameha." I then got up on my two hind legs, then said, "Oh and I mastered Changeling magic. Now to change into a good form." I said and transformed into my human form. I was thin, white skinned, with black shaggy hair and bright golden eyes. My clothes were still on, to my relief.
"So, that is what creature you are..." Celestia said.
"What are you?" The rest asked me.
"Explain later, demonstrations now." I said, and got into position.
"Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
"What is he doing?" Rainbow asked.
"Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" A bright golden ball appeared in my hands, and kept getting bigger.
"What is that in his hands? Is it a party ball?" Asked Pinkie.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" It kept getting bigger and bigger, until it was the size of a basketball.
"What's it gonna to do? Hes shootin' at a rock..." Applejack said.
"Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" I moved my hand in front of me to allow it to grow bigger. I kept control of it with my hand clenched.
"That thing is massive! Everypony get down!" Twilight said, Celestia cast a shield over all of them. I don't think she expected it to work.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" I released the power, and a gigantic golden white beam shot out from the ball, strait at the rock. Said rock disintegrated on contact, and the beam exploded. I directed it up, and everypony looked at were the rock was. This rock was about as big as a castle, so they were shocked when it was gone. All but Celestia.
"So, you know Goku, do you?" She asked, almost snickering at my imitation. Obviously not as strong, but still powerful nonetheless.
"I know of him, yes. How do you know him?" I asked, curious.
"Oh, nothing to be concerned of." Everypony dropped the conversation at that, and shifted to a new topic. "What else can you do?"
"Alchemy." Then, with my hands, I used my magic to forcefully transform into a bright red fire ruby. "Give this to spike, he'll go ballistic." Turning to the princess, " That would be it Celestia. I don't know much else. Let's get going." I teleported back, and spike stole the ruby from Twilight immediately. She was about to scold him before I said, "It was for him anyways." she dropped the topic fast, and we all went on with our days, documenting the new discovery.
A thought came into my head. Whoever just released that beam, it gave me enough power. Now to start my revenge, TOMORROW!
I prepared myself for the oncoming battle that would undoubtedly happen. I just mastered the elements of nature into full ability, getting ready to fight a spirit of chaos and disharmony. Discord...
The first couple things I noticed with this creature is that he can absorb chaos magical residue and that he is extremely powerful. The only way I can think of to beat him is to try to absorb the power he did, basically weakening him as much as possible. He is probably clever, so I would have to do it very fast, probably in my human form to get a grip on him. I partially know how to absorb power like mine already, so now I just need to figure out a way to make it an extremely fast process. I don't want him getting away.
I went to my home quickly and tried to practice the power to absorb. Practice makes perfect, right? It was a long process, but I eventually was able to get it down as much as I could. It takes about a minute, and a lot can happen in a minute. I think I can manage, it's my only way of taking him down.
The second thing was to be able to control two elements at the same time. I know that there are certain combinations that could help in the battle, so I needed to focus on that, to. Luckily, it came to me very fast, so I didn't need to much practice. Of course, with these combinations, come a lot more abilities, and I don't have enough time to figure out all of them, so I'll just experiment. Another reason would be that I was interrupted.
"Thunderhead! You in there?" Rainbow Dash yelled, outside my storm cloud.
I teleported out to where I heard the voice, and found two ponies. One of them Rainbow Dash, obviously, but another one I didn't know. "Not anymore, what's up?" I already knew who the other one was. Admired by Rainbow and captain of the Wonderbolts, (some kind of blue angels team for ponies.) Spitfire. Orange coat, fiery mane and tail, and a lightning bolt on fire for a cutie mark. If I didn't know who she was, I would have guessed she was a pyromaniac.
"Well, Spitfire here wants to ask you a question." Rainbow said, annoyed. I know her partially, and I know that she wants to join the Wonderbolts. She is probably annoyed Spitfire didn't ask her.
"Okay then," I turned to spitfire, "Shoot."
"Well," Spitfire composed herself, "I would like to ask you if you wanted to join the Wonderbolt academy with Rainbow here. It's her second weak, and I think you should come to, with that comet and all." She asked me, then explained, "It would start in about three days, so are you in?"
"Well, sure, why not. I'm guessing that in this place you are tested to see if you're Wonderbolt material? If so, then I'm in."
"Okay then, just sign your name right here," She handed me a clipboard from seemingly nowhere. I scanned it, then signed it. "Not gonna read the fine print, are you?" She asked.
"I did read it, why?"
"Never mind... well, I'll be on my way, bye." She flew off.
"So Rainbow, why are you annoyed?" I had an idea, but I wanted to be sure.
"Well, you might take my spot on the Wonderbolts, and it has always been my dream to join them..." She said, frowning.
"You know, there is more than one spot on the team. If anything, we both might be on the team. We are the only ponies to ever do a version of the Sonic Rainboom. Heck, you actually did a Double Rainboom. I don't think they can ignore that."
"I guess you're right... I shouldn't have been annoyed. But I do have to ask, why have you been cooped up in your house?"
"Well, I'll show you." I teleported us into the house. "I have been practicing elemental magic. Want to see some?"
"Um, sure. But make it fast, I have to clear the sky soon."
"Actually, I can help with that. Lead the way." I teleported us outside the house.
"Ok then, Thunderhead. Try to keep up!" She sped off, with me right behind her. "It's right here, over ponyville. I need to clear every cloud."
"Let me do this, I wanna see if it will work." I flew into the middle, and transformed into my human form. It seems when I use powerful magic, that happens now. I guess it's my body trying to make it easier on me.
My body floated in mid air, and my hands glowed. I opened them, and the water from the clouds started getting near me. When it got close enough, golden tendrils shot out from my fingers to grab the water and compress it into EMC, which was held in my reserves for magic. It would help in the fight. Soon, all the water was out of the clouds, and the clouds dissipated, leaving no evidence they were there.
"That was awesome! But you might want to change back, you are getting a weird look from that mint green unicorn."
"I can tell that she is obsessed, so I might as well just let her do what she needs to do so she can leave me alone."
"Okay then, just be careful."
4 hours later...
"So is that all you needed to do, Lyra? I need to go home."
"Yeah, thanks for letting me ask you all those questions. I can write what I need to now!"
"Okay then, bye Lyra." I walked out of the door and headed on my way to the everfree forest. I noticed a small amount of looks and sent out a small telepathic wave to tell everypony that I was the one who made the eclipse. I'm not sure how many got the point, but I didn't care, the looks stopped. I checked the watch on my wrist. It was a copper digital watch that I learned how to use with my magic. Making electricity isn't that hard. Anyways, it was about 6:00 pm, so I didn't have that much time, but I was ready as I could ever be, so I didn't mind.
"Hey, what the hell are you? And what are you doing in our town?" Said a rusty voice behind me. I could tell that there were two other ponies with him, and I'm surprised I didn't see this coming.
"Seriously, racist ponies? Ugh, I didn't want to be bothered by this." I knew this might take a long time, so I didn't really know what to do.
"Hey look guys, the ugly freaking monkey can talk!" Said one of them.
I turned around to face them. I was about twice their height, so they kind of flinched. "What do you three want, exactly? I don't want any trouble." I said.
"Yeah? Well you got trouble. Get 'em boys!" Said the one in the middle. I quickly made a golden shield with my hand, not wanting to get in a fight.
"Excuse me, but can you just tell me what you want, you're not gonna lay a hoof on me anyways. Might as well just tell me." I reasoned.
"We wanna beat you up and get you out of our town! Monsters like you don't deserve to be here!" Said the one on the right.
There were three ponies. A Black earth pony in the middle, he had a white mane and tail, and green eyes. Creepy. A red unicorn on the right, his mane and tail were green, and his eyes were white. Christmas, much? The pegasus pony on the left had a white coat and light blue mane with red eyes. I think he might be albino with died hair. I didn't care that much.
These three gathered a crowd with what they were doing. Most of the crowd was behind me, but some were behind him. I didn't mind, because this wasn't going to go into a full out battle. "Do you mind just leaving me alone instead? I don't want to fight, but I'm not afraid to defend myself." That's when the pegasus hit me in the back of the head and knocked me down. I put a shield dome over me so I could get up, then sent a square of it at the pegasus, hitting him away. "I told you I want to defend myself. Can you just go away now?" The pegasus got back into the group.
"No way! You just attacked one of us!" Said the unicorn.
"You attacked me first... he," I pointed at the pegasus, "He hit me in the head. I warned you that I would defend myself."
That's when Twilight stepped out of the crowd behind me. "What are you three doing!? You're gonna get yourselves killed! He is the one who made the eclipse!"
"No he didn't that was obviously a pony."
"Transformation spell" I explained. Then pointed up at the giant electric ball above me. "Please, go away so I can shoot this back to my house instead of you."
"Yeah," chimed in Rainbow "I really recommend you just go away..." She said.
"Find, but this isn't over. We will get you, just wait and see." Said the earth pony. I teleported them to whatever house they were from, not really caring.
"That was annoying." I checked my clock. 8:00 pm "Dammit, more time wasted. Well, I'll be going."
"Wait! Were you really going to hit them with that?" Asked Twilight.
"Only if they continued to pursue after my fifth warning. It had about 70,000 volts in it, but I would just shock em until they continued after the eighth warning, and just shot em with enough to knock em out. I don't want to kill anypony, but I don't want any of em trying to kill me."
"Oh... Well, I guess that is a good reason. I'm glad everypony heard you, to. Now they know you're a neutral party and not somepony to be afraid of." Twilight said.
"That's good, well, bye now." I shot the lightning bolt back at my house and followed it.
"Well, good use of a day, I think I'm ready to fight Discord now. I don't know if I can win, but I need to try." I went to bed and slept for the next day. It's gonna be hard, but I need to keep him from hurting my friends...
As soon as I woke up I could feel a massive power slowly coming towards Ponyville. Probably in secret or casually, to not put up suspicion. It was obviously Discord, no other creature has that much magic. Not even me, when I have my magic boost. That is one thing I forgot to explain. The magic boost. When I got to Equestria, it was on all throughout my time here until this day, when it stopped. It was a result of the new environment with the magic in the air. Now my power, at it's original level, is around a fifth of Celestia's power. Still a lot stronger than most ponies, but not good against Discord. When using the boost, for about 10 minutes, my power increases 10 fold, becoming twice as much as Celestia. Discord has about 10 times as much as Celestia, so I need to use my diversity in magic to beat him. Let's recap on our powers.
Discord:
He has a very high magic capacity, far exceeding the required magic power for a day of endless teleportation. He uses this a lot, and has mastered teleportation to the fullest extent, to the point of inter-dimensional travel.
He is very cunning, planning even though it goes against his nature to get his way. This is lost due to the fact that everything is a game to him, he wants an ability for the enemies to succeed, but to be almost to narrow to happen. Due to this, he has lost several times to the princesses. Whose combined ability made the elements of harmony, the draconequus' only weakness. David Thunderhead is the only pony to have matched the elements in power.
He specializes in chaos magic, letting him easily bend nature to his will and breaking every fundamental law of it. He acts as if he just doesn't care about the rules of magic and just ignores them, doing what he wants and needs to win or entertain himself. He can easily conjure up a multitude of things, and can very easily use his magic to attack relentlessly, but his nature will not allow him to do so, since he wants to have fun, albeit in his weird way.
David Thunderhead:
He has a magical capacity of one tenth the power of the elements of harmony, exactly one fifth the power of Celestia or Luna. That is, until he uses his magic boost. This boost increases his power and and ability by 10, allowing him to equal the elements of harmony in strength.
He specializes in chaos magic, one of the few beings who can wield it and be in control 100% of the time. He has a good grip on the elements of nature, earth, wind, fire, and water. He can use magic simultaneously in two hands at a time, allowing him to mix the powers of the elements. He can hold two elements at a time in one hand when he is on the magic boost, allowing him to use all of them in a full out attack.
He can use his magic in other ways, to. Compressing it into a large beam capable of breaking through many things, including other beings. He can manipulate the beam into changing directions on a dime, but he can't control it for long, and it takes a small amount of time to release control of the beam. This can easily backfire by having the beam lose control while going strait at him, and through him, getting close to killing him. If he didn't have this...
He can use healing magic very skillfully, one of the first magic types he every studied. He can heal near fatal wounds with the cost of lots of his power for two minutes, needing to recharge. This leaves him open, so it is almost not recommended unless it is needed.
He can also use his magic in alchemy, being able to convert magic energy into matter with his chaos magic, he can create objects at the cost of his regenerative magic. He uses this in an almost skillful way, not perfecting it. He prefers to use this to make crystal, since he can't make that with his elemental magic, and it's very strong and durable.
He can barely cast teleportation, but is perfect with levitation, allowing him versatility.
In a mach, he has a small chance against Discord, since he prefers lots of versatility than master a few, while Discord has mastered many, such as the alchemy David uses with ease, and teleportation, along with the nature breaking form ability of his magic.
"Well then," I said to myself "I guess there's no time like the present. Besides the good future, or the good ol' days. Not doing much to motivate myself. Time to fly over Ponyville and wa-"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
"Never mind. Time to go!" I flew right out my house to get into the action!
...only to smack into my shield.
"Woops..." I said to myself, and teleported out.
There was a an obvious power in the treehouse, I could sense it from up high. I was in a crowd with pegasi, in my human form on the clouds. Some of em didn't really mind, some sat closer to me, some sat away. I was to focused on the treehouse to notice. Eventually I silently put on a perception filter and teleported silently into the house, and heard the conversation. I could see why the ponies were crowded, they could feel the malicious intent in the air.
"Twilight Sparkle, how could you think I was ever reformed? I'm Discord! The spirit of chaos! You can't reform chaos!" Discord said, creating a glass of chocolate milk to drink during the conversation.
"Discord... I can't believe I trusted you. Well, the only way to stop you now is to get the elements of harmony, and you probably know that..." She continued to rant on, and he leaned to me.
"Quite the talker, isn't she?" He whispered in my ear. I was really surprised he could hear me, but I didn't care, so I just went with it. He is chaos after all.
"I know right, good to have front seat tickets like this to watch. Interesting for you, isn't it? You gonna use the chocolate milk as a spit take?"
"Good idea... aren't you interested in how I can see you?"
"Kinda, but you are chaos, you notice everything and don't care on most of them. I was expecting it, but it matter to me."
"Interesting, now, back to the show." He leaned away, and I leaned back onto the wall, going unnoticed by Twilight.
"I know what to do! I'll just get Princess Celestia..." She started her plan, but Discord soon took a spit take and laughed.
"Celestia? You think she will stop me? She can't, even if she tried!" He leaned to me and whispered, "thanks for the idea."
I came to Twilight's rescue and teleported in between them. "Your welcome Discord, always happy to help a fellow chaos magic user."
He stopped laughing and stared, "You were the one who left the chaotic magic residue? Well that's is amazing! A human who can do chaos magic, wonderful!"
"That is why I came here. Are you familiar with a chaos duel?" I asked him.
"Yes, every chaos user is familiar with a chaos duel. Turn based system of attacks trying to knock the opponent down to get a point, first to three wins. Why? Are you challenging me, Discord, to a chaos duel?!" He asked, baffled.
"Why yes I am, it's all I can do to stop you from doing this. Plus it seems fun to the both of us, don't you think?" This would get him, he couldn't pass up an opportunity for entertainment.
"Okay then, I accept your challenge, but why not a crowd? I'll bring the Princesses and you bring the bearers. It will be amazing! I could have some real fun against someone besides The Mask!" He said, exited.
"Ooooh, you know The Mask? He is awesome isn't he? Wait wait, stay on track, let's go!" I teleported me, Discord, and Twilight to the middle of the appleoosan desert. "You get the Princesses, I'll go get the bearers, this will be fun Discord!"
I quickly teleported around to get the other ponies, one by one. They all became in the crowd with the princesses, watching the duel to come.
"What do you think you're doing, Thunderhead!?" asked all eight ponies in the crowd. I ignored them.
"So, who's going first?" I asked.
"Well, you challenged me... so you go first. Take your first shot! I can't wait!"
I took a very short amount of time to select my attack. I silently made a thick magic resistant crystal dome from behind him, the sent one out extremely fast. He moved to the left to dodge it, so I made a giant hammer come out from the stabbing crystal to hit him forward. He didn't look like he was going to be knocked down, so I made a crystal bat in my hands and another crystal bat where he was not predicted to go. Chaos, go un-predicted. It wasn't in vain, as he teleported to the exact spot the other bat was, and was smacked in the face and hit the ground.
He was obviously dumbfounded by the display. "How did you predict my actions!?!?"
"First of all, one point for me, second of all, I predicted the least possible one, and set my trap there. That is how chaos works, and you would be weakened if you moved into normally predictable grounds." I stated calmly.
"Well it won't work this time!" He said angrily/excitedly.
He made several pies around him, and sent them all at me. I scanned them fast, and saw the metal spikes coming at me from a different direction, and teleported away, allowing them to collide. I made a firewall as he sent the debris at me, and they burned in the protection. Some of it burned, but some acid got through, so I made an acid proof trampoline aimed at Discord, and it hit him square in the face. He wasn't hurt though, but it ended his attack.
"I guess it worked this time, didn't it?" I cackled, he started laughing to.
"This is the best chaos duel I have ever been in!" He stated loudly, a smile on his face.
"I believe it's my turn now!" I exclaimed, still smiling.
I used some earth elemental power to use the sand to my advantage, much like Gaara. Trying to trap him, he just teleported away, moving more sand over at him in a giant wave, he just shot a beam through. I was getting tired of this, so I searched the ground for the first magic resistant metal I could find. Copper. I covered his legs completely in it, before starting my onslaught.
I sent a fire column in the air, and surrounded him in it, then a freezing ice spear in the middle of it to make him hit the fire. He somehow dodged it and made the entire thing melt and steam over, so I had to use more. I tried to make a small rainstorm around him, but he just made it into cotton candy and ate it. Damn you Discord and your cotton candy clouds.
I finally was fed up with that, and got to business. I trapped him even further up to his chest and under his arms. I sent a small fire beam to the copper, trying to heat it up. It weakened him a small bit, so it would be easier to do what I was about to do. I released the copper from the ground, making him a small statue. "Familiar..." He said, annoyed, but amused.
I did the final resort of the elements. I took a medium amount of time to create a Tornado with a large amount of clouds above to use water and wind, creating large amounts of lightning which I proceeded to strike Discord with. The more weakness when the copper melts off the better. I shot a very hot beam of fire into the tornado, making it a giant fire swirl, which absorbed the lightning well, making it a very dangerous looking storm.
I used a wind vacuum to move Discord into the tornado, melting the copper off and striking him with everything I had. He was sent flying out of the tornado face first before falling right to the ground. "Another point. Here." I healed him completely with my green beam.
"Losing two to nothing... I can't lose this chaos duel! I cannot lose!!!!" He got really mad, hitting me with everything he had. thousands of lightning bolts, fire streams, ice spears, and he kept using the sand to keep me constricted. I guess it's payback. Eventually, he came in front of me and stopped the binding, which I couldn't move in shock, and he hit me with a glass bat, which broke on impact. I rolled over and hit my face, quickly giving Discord the point. I was healed by him, and I regained my strength for the final hit.
"Time to end this, Discord." I said, confident. He was silent, not wanting to lose. I started charging up a healing beam in the form of a white and black sparked Kamehameha wave.
"Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
He was silent, looking on with great observation. I put all my power into this.
"Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
He lifted an eyebrow, as the ball got about as big as a basketball.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
"What is that..." he started to ask, I poured more into the ball of energy, getting as powerful as it would be at the size of Twilight's treehouse. I used my magic boost and I was emanating golden chaotic energy, kinda like a super saiyan. I was at my max of power, pouring a ton of it into the wave. He was getting scared, he couldn't see the fact that it was a healing wave.
"Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
I had to put my hand out in front of me and clench them to keep the power from blowing up my hands. It got bigger and bigger, and Discord put up a shield. I put some anti shield magic into this, and got ready.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
I released the energy, and the giant beam smashed through the shield, heading strait at Discord. He teleported away quickly, and the beam went at him. He did this many times before he got in front of me, and I lost control of the beam. It was headed at me and him. I stopped him from moving with a powerful sand vein and he leaned back...
...right into my absorbing hands. I took away the power he had. It went fast. Faster than I could imagine. I started to absorb him completely, ending at his head. He said one final thing before becoming a dormant consciousness in my head. "I am glad you reached your destiny..." And he was gone. The beam hit me, healing my cuts and bruises, becoming perfectly healed. I used the rest of my magic to free the crowd, and the magic boost ended.
"Worth it to save Equestria..." I barely said.
Then I fainted.
Takes place during the events of Revelations.
"It seems as though David here has noticed Discord, don't you think, Minuette ?"
"Oh please Doctor, we're alone in the TARDIS, call me by my own name."
"Oh alright, Riversong. But still..."
"Oh I think he noticed it before. I could tell that he noticed it during the eclipse, the first time Discord siphoned the residue. He put it in the back of his mind and kept an eye on it. He barely knew his intentions but he still wanted to keep everyone safe."
"It's possible, and he did show positive attitude and a meaning to help during the party, wanted to entertain everyone else when he was the guest of honor."
"He gave you fond memories during that party. He gave everyone fond memories. He used his small amount of magical grip on time and space that every chaos mage has to let everyone speak to their lost loved ones. He is a good person and pony."
"I know River, I know. I have a feeling he will do everything he can to protect Equestria, like I did with the universe..."
"Just like you, huh. I wonder if he will travel. He certainly has power over time and space, and we know he will only get stronger."
"Yeah, and just to think of the good he could do, the fun he could have others experience, the sights he could see..."
"Just like you again."
"Heh, maybe he will be my first male companion in some time. We could be a trio!"
"I think it could be possible. But remember, he is a chaos mage, he might be able to traverse the multiverse in some time, and anyone would choose that over time."
"Now you have me wondering who he would take with him. I would even want to go, and I have a time machine."
"Who knows, maybe he would take you-"
"Shh, look on, he is about to hear the news on his power."
The two time traveling spectators looked on in the scene from their invisible TARDIS cameras. David showing his knowledge of Discord and coming to his realization about the voice in his head. He just figured out what kind of magic he posses, chaos magic, and is known to be a neutral party.
"Damn he teleported away, do you still have a lock on him, River?"
"Why of course, let's go strait to him."
They arrived at the scene a bit behind David and the bearers. "...Let me introduce, the Kamehameha." The Doctor laughed extremely hard at this, and almost fell down.
"What is so funny? He was being deadly serious."
"He was...? Oh my, maybe we should turn off the speakers." He proceeded to do so, right about the time David started creating the ball in his hands.
"My my, what powerful magic, a ball..."
"Oh, you don't know what that is, do you? Don't worry, you will be more than satisfied with the result." The ball was outside of his hands and he was about to fire.
"What do you-"
"Shh, look at the monitor!"
She looked at it and quickly gained a look of astonishment as the giant beam shattered the rock. She looked longer at the small display of alchemy, surprised at the fact that he created material out of thin air.
"Impressive..." Was all she could mutter.
"I'de say more than just that, but there is something more interesting around the corner. Let's watch, shall we?"
He started the TARDIS, and the familiar noise of the parking breaks activated, and they were off.
Takes place after the events of The battle for chaos
"Well, that was one ridiculous battle, wouldn't you say River?"
"Yes.. yes it was. I could barely follow that."
"I couldn't follow it at all. The way he outsmarted Discord twice in the battle, and the fact that he overpowered the spirit was amazing."
"But at the end, Discord was absorbed, what does that make David now, Doctor?"
"Well, David finally met his destiny. Absorbing the spirit makes him the new spirit. The cycle renews."
"Interesting. I can sense a large power up in his strength. He is a bit stronger than Discord was."
"He will still get stronger, his body is not done accumulating the power."
"So how strong will he eventually get?"
"Twice as much as Discord. His moral compass allows him to control his powers more, and he is the new spirit. The power was combined and enhanced. It helps that Discord is alive and well inside David's mind, and I suspect he will be released, but not of his own accord."
"Amazing... but he is still knocked out, shouldn't we help him?"
"I don't think so, the princesses are carrying him to the Canterlot hospital no doubt."
"Then how about we go see him?"
"Now? He is going to be in that comma for a good weak."
"When has that stopped you?"
"Good point, River." Starting up the TARDIS, they were off to the hospital in one weak.
"He isn't done yet..." Muttered The Doctor, before focusing on the task at hand. He sent the TARDIS into it's driving course, and went to the hospital.
"We should wait for them to finish their conversation."
"Yes we should, Doctor. What will you talk to him about?"
"His destiny. His adventure, and how it isn't finished. There will be more threats to this kingdom, and he will sacrifice everything to stop the bad from reaching here. He has potential to learn all, and he will take it."
"He is a truly remarkable human."
"I'm not surprised the hospital took him in, after what he did with Discord."
"Neither am I Doctor. He saved the bearers and the princesses today, all on his own."
"Just like I do some times."
"Yes Doctor. He is a lot like you, just as I said."
"I know. Ah, now is our chance to talk to him."
They both walked over to David as the princesses were leaving, and David looked over to them. "Hello Doctor, hello Minuette. To what do I owe the pleasure?" He said, smiling.
I awoke in a hospital bed about two weeks later. I noticed this because of the calender, of course. Still a Monday, new line, I just connected the dots. I also noticed a couple of other things. First off would be the dormant consciousness in my head that I think is Discord, second is the fact that I was at full energy and perfectly healed, third would be the loss in transformation magic so I was stuck in my human form (maybe), and fourth could possibly be the fact that I have chaos magic in me at levels higher than Discord did, and rising.
I finally opened my eyes to see just what I already knew was there, eight ponies standing around me. "Why hello Celestia, Luna, bearers." I said calmly, and sat up with ease.
"Oh no, you should really lie down... you're not good to be moving... especially when you hit yourself with your own attack full of..." Fluttershy said.
"Healing magic." I finished her sentence for her. "I hit myself dead on with the most powerful amount of healing magic I could create while concealing its identity. I am not surprised that nopony noticed."
"Then why exactly did you pass out?" Twilight asked, curious.
"Simple, the magic boost ended after I was hit with the healing wave."
"Magic boost? You didn't tell us about that." Rainbow dash said, annoyed.
"I'm surprised you didn't all notice. My magic went up majorly when I entered this world. I learned how, and copied it. Then it stopped, and I used it for the first time in that battle." I explained, putting it simply.
"Well, there are a few things you need to know about..." Celestia started.
Just then, I noticed a silent blue telephone box enter the room with my sensory vision. It was invisible, but I knew exactly who it was. The Doctor.
"Celestia, I believe someone else needs to see me now..." I stated, hoping Celestia would get the clue.
"Well I don't see who is more important than me... but..." She ended, just getting that I said someone instead of somepony. "Oh, okay then Thunderhead,"
"Call me David from now on. I don't think I will be a pony for any longer..."
"Okay then, David, we will be on our way." They all made their way behind the curtains in my room and exited. All but a curious Luna. I amused her and let her stay.
Just then I noticed the door to the box open and two ponies come out and meet me. I turned to see them. "Hello Doctor, hello Minuette. To what do I owe the pleasure?" I smiled, and the ponies came up to me. The Doctor himself was one of them, but there was a dark blue pony with hair that looked like Colgate toothpaste. I knew her name as Minuette since she was one of the ponies who offered up magic during the display.
She tripped over her hooves, and I had to teleport next to her and hold her so she wouldn't get hit smack dab in the face by the ground. I learned so much about her then. "Now now, Riversong, such clumsiness will not aid in keeping up your disguise." I playfully fake scolded. "Although you two don't really have the choice to change back to your timelord forms, such as I don't have the choice to change to my pony form. Kinda sad, but still."
"Well, looks like interruptions aren't needed, but you know to much now." I could see the partial playfulness in her voice, but she was just insane enough to be believable. "Now it's time to die." She said nonchalantly and teleported a gun out of nowhere and pointed it at me.
"Someone doesn't know what the limit is on joking, now do we?" I said and smiled, teleporting the gun off to where it was before she teleported it to her. "Just sent it back. Weird how you even have that thing."
"It has gotten us out of danger many times, just thought I would over prepare." She replied, a smile across her face.
"I get the feeling I am missing something... Ah, who cares, now, where are the chairs, we should sit down for this story." The Doctor began looking around, and I intervened.
"Oh I'll get that." I said and snapped my fingers, cause three chairs to appear out of nowhere. Of course, the bed was gone, but who cares. "Want to be in your normal form as well? It could help with the situation."
"You can do that? Mind making me my tenth reincarnation, I liked that one the most." The Doctor said, never getting curious.
"If you can do that, it would be amazing. I hate sitting the pony way."
"Well, let's see what I can do." I cracked my fingers, and inadvertently changed them to normal. "Well then, I guess that works." I said, and noticed The Doctor was in his ninth incarnation. "Wait, let's see, why must you have so many different bodies..." I snapped my fingers, he was in his third.
"I don't think he minds." River said behind me, I ignored her.
I snapped my fingers again, and he was in his first form. "Well, that won't do at all, never liked seriousness." I snapped again, and he was in his tenth. "Ah, there we go. Locking the spell... and done, I can change you two into these forms when I am asked to!" I stated, happy to get another form of magic down.
"Well, I always loved this incarnation, most fun if you ask me, and thanks for that, I also hated sitting in these human chairs the pony way." He said, all giddy about the transformation.
"Anyways, weren't you two about to tell me something?"
The Doctors face got serious. "Well, there are many things that we need to tell you, so let's just start from the beginning. When you absorbed Discord you made him a dormant consciousness in your head and," 'so that's who that is' I thought. "due to this fact, bye your merging, you have met your 'destiny' and became the new spirit of chaos. You have and will be getting massive amounts of chaos magic to go along with it. Since you are a spirit, you have become immortal, almost like me and River here, more like the princesses, and have gotten nature bending properties to your magic. You can literally do anything, and I am here to figure out what you are going to do with it."
I thought about his words for a while. And I mean a long while. I can do anything, I have obscene amounts of magic and I am a neutral party, I can become three things from the way I see it. I could become like a knight, and protect this land from all forces that dare to harm it. I would be a hero, going down in the history books, just to read about myself in the never ending tale of David Thunderhead, always living.
The second option was to be pure evil, cause the worst things to happen everywhere for my amusement. Almost like Discord, only 20 times worse. I swear I could hear a grunt when I thought of that. Anyways, I would become the threat, being immortal but eventually face the same fate as Discord. I didn't like that idea. Not. One. Bit.
The third option was the one I liked. I had dimensional-teleportation capabilities. I could go everywhere, experience everything, having endless amounts of timelines and universes to visit. I could take people and ponies with me, I could let them have the experience with me. I could put the first option in this one to. I could protect many things, I could save many live, help many good causes. I could become just like The Doctor, only more.
I seemed to be in deep thought for a long time, so I didn't notice anything until The Doctor was poking me. "I think he is having a mental breakdown at the news. River?"
"No, he is just thinking it over carefully, choosing his decision carefully, wanting to make the right one. Simple, really."
Then I came to a conclusion. If I was going to be like The Doctor, why not take him with. "Doctor, I made my decision. And I think you will like it."
"Oh really? What is it? I kinda want to know now. Well, more than before, but still."
"I want to travel. I have dimensional traveling teleportation, and the passive ability to avoid making the damage. I can travel through time, space, and the multiverse. Everywhere. I could see all I ever wanted to see, and protect what is dear to me. Just like you. A guardian. Of the multiverse."
"I see another thing we have in common. Not just fighting anything to save more than yourself, but the traveler aspect to! Fantastic! Wait, a bit of nine in there. Oh, whatever."
"I wasn't finished. I want to bring a group with me. Not just one pony or person, but a group. And you are included in this group. That is, if you accept."
I just offered him the ability to travel the multiverse. I could practically see the glee in his face. "I would accept, but what about River?"
"Oh Doctor, I can take care of myself. Go, travel with more than one person. Go with the spirit." She motioned towards me.
"Okay then... David,"
"Yes, Doctor?"
He stood up, and put out his hand, I stood up immediately and shook it. "I accept."
I was so happy, getting to travel with the Doctor, and to different dimensions. I was a very happy human.
"But can I ask, who else is going with us? You said group."
"Before you can answer, I think I should get going. I hope you have fun, Doctor."
"Okay then River, good bye." He waved her off, and we sat back down. "Now then, who else?" He asked excitedly.
"Well, one of them is already here. LUNA!!!!!!" I shouted, and a confused moon goddess got out from behind the curtains and took off her invisibility spell.
"How did you know I was her- Oh wait, sensory vision... darn it... should have guessed." Luna said, sitting down in one of the chairs.
"So, what is your answer? You were here to listen to it, so will you come with us?"
"Well, I would say yes, but I have a kingdom to govern, what would Tia say if I just left?"
"I can fix that. Time machine or time magic guy here, we can just come back to the same point about a minute after we left. It would be easy." The Doctor said, looking at Luna with a hoping look in his eye.
"Oh, alright, if it doesn't hurt the kingdom, the I accept the offer."
"Good, that is a great thing to know." I teleported a clipboard and pen out of nowhere, and even some glasses on my face. "Check" I said, using the pen with levitation to check a box on the clipboard. Then they disappeared. "Now, for the others. Let's go into the TARDIS, shall we?" I led them into the TARDIS. "Now, let's go to Ponyville. And I know what you're about to say, Doctor, so let's on 3... 2... 1..."
And on the exact same time as the Doctor pulled the lever, the both of us yelled at the top of our lungs, "Alons-y!"
We arrived in the Ponyville library with the classic parking break noise, and all of us filed out of the TARDIS. We all surveyed our surrounding, all but me. We were in the basement of Twilight's library, all the science equipment in a corner with us in the middle.
"Weird, I set it to go into the field where no one would see us." Said the Doctor, confused.
"That would be my fault, even though technically no one will see us here anyways," I said, raising my hand "I needed to go here and I knew no one would actually be here at any time so I took command with my chaos magic, sorry."
"Well, now that that's in order, why did we need to go here," Luna started
"And on the pretense that we need to pick someone up, who is it?" the Doctor finished.
"Well, Doctor, you are right, there is someone I need to pick up here. Someone that will be extremely interested in every universe we go to, someone with possibly more brains than you two, and that someone is-" I explained.
"Princess Luna? David? And some other human who I don't know..." Started Twilight, trailing off.
"The Doctor" The Doctor finished for her.
"Yes, how did you get in here? More along the lines of importance, why did you come here?"
"-Twilight Sparkle..." I finished, "Was I just comic relief?" The others just laughed at my expense. "How nice..." I said sarcastically.
"What do you need me for?" Twilight asked, having heard a small chunk of the conversation.
"Well, Twilight, Our friend here," Luna motioned towards me, "has a proposition that you just can't refuse. David?"
"Yes, yes, Twilight, I have an offer for you. Would you," I pointed at her, for dramatic effect, "like to come with us," I waved my arms out to show all three of us, "in our travels along the multiverse?" I said, and let the question linger in the air. "Of course, we're using a time machine, so we can just send you back five minutes after you left."
She mulled the question over, but eventually came to the inevitable decision, "Yes. I will, now, how will we get out?"
"Well, there is one more thing we need to do here. Everyone, to the TARDIS."
I led them all to the interior of the TARDIS, and Twilight began doing the hole bigger on the inside bit, then she tried to examine the controls, and I just mouthed to her 'you would never begin to understand it' she pouted for a second, before joining us in the TARDIS library.
"So, we have one more person I want to add to our group, but I want your opinion on this." They all nodded, and I continued. "I want to take Discord along with us." They all gasped, and started shaking their heads. All but The Doctor. "He is a dormant consciousness in my head, I can take away the evil intentions and thought and replace them with good intentions and thoughts, but be able to keep everything about him the same."
The two ponies thought about it for a while, and so did The Doctor, until he nodded his head. Soon Luna followed, and Twilight followed her. "Good then, now, time to see if this will work. I already have been feeding him good thoughts and taken away the bad ones, so let's see if the spell will work."
I activated the spell, and concentrated real hard on Discords mind, sending it out back into its own body. I was able to recreate Discords body completely, but I only gave him a fifth of my original magic. Only enough to teleport around and levitate himself. I don't want trouble. Eventually Discord's mind and body combined, and he did started stretching.
"Well, it's about time someone woke me up, now, David, why was it you who did so?" He asked.
"First of all, I want to say welcome back to the real world, secondly, you can only levitate yourself and teleport around, thirdly, I did so because I want you to come with us and explore the multiverse." I said, all the others were just looked at Discord.
"Well, if I can't cause chaos here, then going with you will be the next best thing, besides, nopony likes me in Equestria anyways. Where are we going first?"
"Wow, that mind trick did wonders. He isn't acting mean like he used to."
"Now, now, Twilight, I wasn't acting mean in my eyes, but yes, the trick did work, even if I accepted it on purpose."
"Well, Discord, now that we have the party all gathered up, does everyone know everyone else?" Everyone nodded their head. "Okay then, lets get going, I need to do one last thing." I snapped my fingers, and a black spark jumped off of them and hit the ground. It immediately coursed through the entire TARDIS, giving it it's new ability. "There we go, now the TARDIS can fly through dimensions, Doctor, you know how to fly it completely with the dimension option now, and so do I. So, is everyone ready?"
"What should we call ourselves? We are a group of five, so..." Twilight asked.
"How about, The Travelers?" I suggested
"I like that name, does everyone else like it?" The Doctor asked.
They all nodded their heads, and Discord asked, "So, what is the first stop?"
"Well, Discord, I have NO IDEA! So, on the count of three, 1.... 2..... 3!!!!!"
Alons-y!
