Mr. Carnage is about to meet the Doctor but is the Doctor ready for Mr. Carnage? Also Batman has been taken by the penguin, what lies in store for him?

Chapter 2: Captain Charisma & The Dark Knight

The Doctor was very rarely left speechless when he opened the door to the Tardis. Normally he would say something along the lines of 'Brilliant' or 'This is fantastic' or 'Here we are then' or 'Well this is interesting' but he wasn't really sure exactly what he should say because even for his standards this was a little weird.

Two different beings stood before him. They were an odd couple to say the least, one looked like a pony with wings so he guessed that she was some kind of Pegasus, what was weirder was that she had a Cyan body and a rainbow coloured mane, it was beautiful but a little odd. There was also a man and his dress style could give him a run for his money but apart from that he looked like a relatively normal human being… apart from the face paint and the his eyes and his shard teeth and what looked like electric sparks occasionally popping out of his hands. The strange man was the first to speak "Wow… just wow its actually you I mean… it's a freaking honour sir I can't…"

Rainbow Dash whacked him on the side of the leg "Please don't turn into a fan boy that's so not cool for a supposed to be saviour of worlds."

She brushed her mane out of her face to make herself look as awesome as possible but Carnage knew something she didn't want him to. "Really? Not cool huh? I think I remember the time you received that Daring Doo book from Twilight one day and when you flew upstairs I distinctly remember the noise that you made was something like, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…"

Carnage found a hoof in his mouth and received a stern look from Rainbow Dash. The Doctor had decided that the pony could be a figment of his imagination or some sort of holographic trick or perhaps a robot so he scanned her with his sonic screwdriver. Dash stepped back a bit, she was a little surprised by the strange device and the noise that it emitted but Carnage knew exactly what it was so he put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. The Doctor viewed the results, "No your definitely real and organic for that matter… wait a minute the energy reading around you two is very familiar, just hold on a second."

The Doctor rushed himself back into the Tardis. Carnage thought he must have been looking for something and he turned to Rainbow Dash and shrugged. She simply shook her head and she thought that if all humans were like this then she might as well have stayed home. She asked "Are all humans as weird as you and the Doctor?"

"Well he isn't a human Rainbow Dash he's a Timelord."

"What's that? Do they control time or something?"

"No but they travel through it and were the race that were the best at it to a degree. On occasion they could make new dimensions and stuff like that, basically their aliens like what Pinkie Pie believed were real."

"What did you mean by 'were'?"

Carnage felt best not to tell Dash as she didn't need to be further depressed today at the thought of being the last of your kind but then he realised that she kind of was in this case as there were none other ponies like her in this reality, "It doesn't matter Skittles, forget I said that."

Rainbow Dash made a mental note of asking the Doctor about it later when suddenly the Timelord himself appeared now sporting funny glasses. Carnage recognised them as the 3-D glasses that the Doctor used to see the void stuff people had on them when they went through the void. The Doctor spoke after observing them with the glasses for a moment, "That's… you both have trace amount of the void on you but neither of you have actually gone through it, in fact it's completely different, it isn't from the void… that's impossible. My people closed up all the cracks in the universe years ago, how did you both get here?"

They both looked at each other. Carnage realised something, "You know what actually I never did tell you what Luna told me did I Skittles? I guess this will be sharing time."

Dash rolled her eyes but she had to admit she was curious and now she knew that Luna had something to do with all of this. Carnage began "Look I don't know if you're going to believe me or not but everything I say is what I was told. Your about 900 years old right."

The Doctor stepped back a little. Carnage managed to guess his age. At best to humans he looked like he was in his late 20's early 30's but this man managed to get it right, "How did you know that, I'm about 904."

"Oh right so you just lost Donna as your assistant right?"

"How… could you know who Donna Noble is. I can't feel you attempting to read my mind, how do you have this information?"

"Okay I see I crossed a line there so let's start again. According to Luna who is about 1000 years old by the way, all the universes somehow became aligned with each other and all the most powerful beings in each world so I think she meant individual planets too got to make a decision that affected every universe. They foresaw each of their worlds would be destroyed unless they got a champion or a symbol, they chose to make a hero to save them. I nearly died about a year ago but randomly I was given the offer to become this hero, apparently many have failed but according to Luna I've been the most successful and now it turns out I can take people or ponies in this case with me if they are touching me. So that's why we are here to save this universe or planet, by the way my name is Mr. Carnage."

"Carnage? Carnage who?"

"Just Mr. Carnage… it's interesting to be on the other side of that isn't it Doctor?"

"You're not going to tell me how you know my name either are you?"

"Nope, tell you what if we all survive this I'll tell you how I know, deal?"

He stuck out his hand for the Doctor to shake. The Doctor found this interesting man to be somewhat mysterious and if history showed anything about the Doctor is that he likes mysterious. The Doctor found a smile appear on his face as there was something about Carnage that reminded him of himself and shook his hand to secure the deal. Rainbow Dash was completely lost, "Okay sorry, what just happened?"

"Well it appears we are now all working together Skittles. Now Doctor this lovely young mare is Rainbow Dash."

A smile was now firmly on the Doctor's face as he shook Dash's hoof, "A pleasure to meet you Rainbow Dash."

Carnage continued "What are you doing here? I'm assuming that this isn't your own universe your in."

"No your right, I sought of need to help someone who may not want my help but may need it despite how good he is…

Their attention was taken by the thick British accent that was like Carnage's only more nasty and harsh coming from the alleyway below. "Right he'll be awake in a minute, put him in front of me so I can smash his rich boy face in."

The three of them walked to the edge of the building and peered down the alleyway to see what was going on. They could see a small man who seemed to have the bottom of a glass bottle for a monocle. He was ordering a bunch of goons to hold a man in place and to watch. Carnage and the Doctor knew exactly who this was, it was the Penguin and they also knew the well-dressed unconscious man they had as their prisoner. It was none other than Bruce Wayne, the Batman, the Doctor and Carnage said in unison "Penguin has Batman."

The pair looked at each other in surprise and they both said "You know his secret identity."

Carnage then figured it out "Oh I get it now, this is the guy you owe huh?"

"Yeah your right, it's a long story but a quick version is that we stopped Joker when he took over Arkham but we found plans by Strange to create all of this. Batman said it would never go through but as you can see that wasn't the case, this is Arkham city."

Rainbow Dash was left out of the loop again, "I'm sorry who is Batman and what makes him so special."

Carnage explained "Basically he's a superhero. Kind of like your Batemare or Mare Do Well or Daring Doo. He uses gadgets to stop criminals and has supervillans but he also has a secret identity that he has to keep, isn't that right Doctor?"

The Doctor now had a cheeseburger in his hand and was about to take a bite, Carnage stopped him "I'm sorry when did you get a cheeseburger?"

"I was hungry so before I came I got a burger from Gotham's Burger King. I got hungry during your explanation so I quickly got it, you want some?"

"In the immortal words of Stone Cold, hell yeah! I've been eating grass for the last couple of days."

The Doctor tore half his burger off now feeling sympathy for Carnage. Carnage was about to take a bite out of the cheeseburger but then Rainbow Dash called out "Wait is that meat?"

"Um… yes it is."

"You can't eat that!"

"Why not?"

"Because that was alive."

"Your point being?

"What is that anyway?"

"It was a cow."

Dash's jaw nearly hit the floor, "A Cow! You can't eat that!"

"It's not my fault whoever put them on this earth made them so damn tasty."

"I can't believe that humans eat meat, that's… that's sick!"

"Rainbow Dash remember when I ended the relationship."

"Yeah, why bring that up?"

"Well this is the other reason I ended it, I love you and hell we might have gotten past the species boundary cause I have to admit in a weird way you're still kina hot but I'm not going to spend the rest of my life not eating meat so now if you'll excuse…"

Carnage took a bite and noticed that Batman was stirring awake. Dash noticed this too and asked "Hey aren't we going to help? I mean doesn't he like need our help?"

The Doctor and Carnage looked at each other, both were trying to keep a straight face but ended failing miserably as they both broke into laughter. Carnage was just able to give Dash a cohesive sentence "Don't worry Dash, just you watch."

Bruce Wayne better known as Batman was just awakening. The last thing he remembered was a shoe colliding to his face that belonged to the penguin, as Batman opened his eyes he could make out a few of Penguins guards and the midget himself. Batman was being held by two more goons but he was too disorientated to fight back after being hit in the back of the head with what felt like a lead pipe but then he was thrown to the ground by Penguins feet. The Penguin mocked him and said "Wakey-Wakey, Wayne!"

As Batman started to rise he noticed the brass knuckles in Penguins right hand and he knew exactly what Cobblepot had in store for him. Penguin continued his mocking in order to fill his own ego, "Oh, what's up? Do you need me to call your butler?"

He definitely knew who it was now as he had that distinct voice, "Cobblepot."

"Aw you remember me, I'm touched."

The Penguin then went on a tirade while he placed his brass knuckles on his left hand. "Your family destroyed mine Wayne, this… well let's call this good old-fashioned revenge."

Just as Penguin lifted his left hand to strike Wayne, Batman grabbed the hand before it hit his face and dislocated it. The Penguin recoiled trying to nurse his hand and screamed a pathetic scream. Batman realised he was still cuffed now as Penguin called out to the guards around them, "GET HIM!"

There were about five and as the first charged at him, Batman immediately whacked him away with a double axe handle strike. The goon recoiled but it was not enough to knock him out. The Penguin called out "Hurt him, I think he's broken my bloody hand!"

After knocking away a second goon a third wearing a Penguin ski mask charged at Batman the exact way Batman wanted him to. The goon tried to punch Wayne in the gut but he deflected his shot. He then pulled the goons head down and used his left leg to strike the goon with his knee, this broke his cuffs effectively knocked the goon out. Through the momentum of the strike both his handcuffs and his leg cuffs shattered and he was free. One of the goons was surprised and obviously too dumb to work out who he was, "He broke free! How'd he do that?"

Batman didn't hold back as he immediately went at the goon behind him laying two strikes on him that knocked him off his feet. Another charged at him from behind but he grabbed his foot, knocked him over and hit him in the crotch. Batman used his sudden momentum to knock out a third goon with one strike and then smashed the head of the first goon to make sure he stayed down. The final goon was all alone now ang he made one final attempt to take Wayne out but found his head in Wayne's arm as Batman performed a DDT on him effectively knocking the last goon out.

Penguin was desperately trying to get out but the metal fence prevented him from doing so. He cried out in anger "When this is all over Wayne, I'll personally break every bone in your hand!"

Batman knew that he had to get to higher ground so he could contact his butler, Alfred Pennyworth. But took a small amount of pleasure over knocking out the Penguin with an uppercut.

---

The three of them watched in awe. They had finished their food and Carnage was even drooling a little. No one spoke as they watched Batman starting to climb to the roof. Batman had climbed the dumpster when Carnage finally got words out of his mouth, "THAT WAS AWESOME!"

Dash also seemed to find a new hero and talked as fast as Pinkie did when she was rambling, "ohmygoshohmygoshthatwassoaws eomethatwascoolerthananythin gDaringDoohaseverdonebecause thatwasrealanddidyouseewhenh ecrotchedthatguyandthenimmed iatelyknockedtheotheroneouti nonepunchthatwassoAWESOME!"

She made that weird kissy face she usually made when she went into fan-girl mode and the Doctor said "If you thought that was impressive you should have seen him take on a venom enhanced joker on top of Arkham Asylum."

Batman had now climbed the ladder and walked along the scaffolding. It looked like he was trying to figure out a way to get to the roof, Carnage wasn't sure how he was going to approach Batman but he knew he needed his help to shut down the city. "Skittles I know what we gotta do, the city is somehow going to affect planet so we need to shut it down."

"How do you know that?"

"Well we didn't know that a serial killer would have turned all of Equestria into his own personal plaything did we? No it's going to affect the planet that's for sure and we'll need Batman's help."

The Doctor nodded in agreement, "I think your right, you should let me approach him first as he knows me."

Batman had jumped on top of a ventilation system that was sticking out of a wall and then climbed another ladder to get to the roof. He was on the building to the left of them and the three of them carefully climbed onto the ventilation system and followed the same path apart from Dash who just flew. They were about to climb the ladder when they could hear Batman's voice above, "Alfred have you got my location?"

Carnage knew he was talking to his butler and peeked over the ladder to see Batman had gone to another building and was talking through his watch. The voice replied but Carnage couldn't make it out, Batman spoke again, "I need an immediate drop on the Ace chemicals building, I'm on my way there now."

Carnage could see the building he was talking about. Dash appeared and was crouching down so Batman couldn't see her, the Doctor followed Carnage and they stayed out of Batman's field of vision. They all figured it would be best for him to suit up first before confronting him in order to not spook him. Carnage wondered however if that was even possible.

Batman stood there for a moment as he appeared to be waiting. He then took a couple of steps back and jumped to a ledge of the building, grabbing on to it with ease, he made his way around as the three of them got out of their hiding places and the Doctor and Carnage looked at each other as if to say 'how the hell do we do that?' Dash flew to the gap and nodded to them as she could fit. She started to follow. Carnage decided to test his new strength "Alright Doctor, get on my back."

The Timelord raised an eyebrow to this and Carnage rolled his eyes, "Look it's hard to explain but I'm stronger now so I might be able to hold your weight and the ledge."

"Might huh?"

"Oh you have no right to judge the plan you pretty much wing it all the time."

"Well that's true… oh alright then this can only end in disaster but I'll do it because I like you."

Carnage gave himself an inner high-five and the Doctor got in position for the piggyback. Carnage without even thinking about it jumped and grabbed onto the ledge and was amazed at how little effort he had put in. He followed along and heard something drop on the roof presumably whatever the Dark Knight wanted.

Rainbow Dash was waiting by a ladder and urged them to hurry up, they got to the ladder. Dash flew up while the other two followed suit with the ladder. They crouched under a sign and spotted a patrolling helicopter and found themselves having to hang again off a ledge. The Doctor hoped this wouldn't be a constant thing tonight, they eventually reached another ladder and Carnage muttered something about why there were so many damn ladders but climbed on anyway.

The pair had to make a leap and spotted Rainbow Dash blowing them a raspberry as if to mock them for not having wings (which Carnage was secretly envious of) after climbing one last ladder they found the Dark knight now in full costume with his back to them. Carnage put a finger to his lips so his associates knew to be quiet. Batman now spoke through an earpiece, "Alfred, I took an encryption key from a TYGER guard, I'm going to hack into their communications."

Batman then pulled out a chip and put it in some sort of decoder. Carnage told them to wait there as he wanted to hear what was being said clearer. He edged his way over as it appeared that Batman had indeed cracked the code. Carnage could just make out a voice from Batman's earpiece and it sounded like it was coming from a helicopter, "All units this is Air TYGER 4. We have confirmation that prisoner 4011 is in the courthouse. I repeat Catwoman is in the courthouse."

Carnage then heard another voice questioning the helicopter. it sounded strangely sinister. "Is she in danger?"

"Affirmative, target is being held by Dent, we believe he intends to kill her how should we proceed?"

A sinister cackle could be heard over the earpiece, "Stand down, let Two-face have his fun."

Carnage was enraged. This man had the power to stop this but he would just allow someone to be killed. Carnage called out in frustration "That bastard how could he… uh oh."

Batman had now turned to Carnage. His glare was like he was looking into Carnages soul, the Doctor and Dash just watched to see what would happen. Carnage tried to defuse the situation, "Alright hold on there Bruce… I mean Batman… I mean… oh shit."

Carnage now found Batman's gloved hand around his throat. Batman held Carnage over the edge of the building, Rainbow Dash didn't hesitate and flew to save him but found a fist in her face as she fell back in pain. Batman got a clear look at the 'man' before him. His face paint was striking and his teeth and eyes were not human, he questioned him as the Doctor went to aid the fallen Rainbow Dash, "Who are you? how do you know my name?"

"Ha ha I get it now. Alright then my superhero name is… CAPTAIN CHARISMA!"

Batman raised an eyebrow as if to say, 'Seriously?' so Carnage retorted, "Hey don't judge me, that's an awesome name."

Dash and the Doctor walked up to Batman who was still hanging Carnage over the edge of a building. Dash asked "Where did you get that name?"

"From Captain Charisma himself, Christian!"

Carnage then started to sing Christians old theme song…

"Christian! Christian!

At last you're on your own-o-o-o-o-own,

Duh duh duh duh duh…

He was stopped by Batman who threw him back on the building. To him he was dealing with a fool but then he recognised the man in the brown overcoat. "Wait! Doctor? What are you doing here?"

"Ah you know me, just popping by."

Batman looked down at the winged Pegasus and showed zero emotion on his face. He turned back to the Doctor, "Is this an alien?"

"Close she's actually from another universe like our blue friend here."

Carnage got up slightly nursing his throat, "Hello! That's me, and may I just say sir that you are awesome… so let's go save Catwoman."

"No! I'm saving Catwoman you three stay here."

"Oh c'mon you don't even know our names. I'm Mr. Carnage and the lovely young mare there is Rainbow Dash, now let's go."

The Doctor spoke, "Apparently he's part of some cosmic mission to save planets in danger and I would use him. I believe he's telling the truth."

"This is not a negotiation! None of you can come and yes that also means you Doctor. This isn't the asylum. There are a lot more dangerous criminals running around here so all of you find a good spot to hide for the night and stay hidden."

Batman was about to take off but then he was interrupted by Mr. Carnage, "Wait! Before you go can you do one thing for me?"

"What is it?"

"Can you… I mean can… this is difficult to ask but… CAN YOU SAY I'M BATMAN?"

Carnage curled both his hands in a ball and pressed them against his face while he jumped up and down in excitement. Batman looked at him a little confused, "Are you asking me to call you Batman?"

"No I want you to say the line I'm Batman."

Rainbow Dash just looked at Carnage in utter confusion as to why he would want him to say this while the Doctor face palmed himself. "Oh I knew I forgot to ask him to do something before I left the first time and this is it, go on do it."

"I don't know it's…"

Carnage looked at him with innocent childlike eyes. "Please do this for me…"

"I'm not sure why you would…"

"Do it and I promise not to follow you."

The Dark Knight let out a sigh and brought his cape up and said "I'm Batman!"

"YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSS!"

The Doctor and Mr. Carnage jumped up in the air and high fived each other. All Rainbow Dash could do at the scene before her was simply facehoof and she muttered under her breath "I can't believe at the end of the day he's such a foal."

Before anything else could be said Batman flew off in the direction of the courthouse where Catwoman was being held. The three of them just stood there watching him fly before Rainbow Dash said "So are we just going to hide somewhere?"

Mr. Carnage responded "Well of course not, were going to go down there and help him."

"But you made a promise."

"I made a promise for me not to go and I never said anything about you guys, besides I can go."

The Doctor questioned this, "How come then?"

"Oh Doctor, you're a 900 year old Timelord. Surely in all that time you've heard of the concept of keeping your fingers crossed when making a promise."
