Doctor Whooves: Series One

6th of Summer C.R., 10:23 p.m.

“Welp…this is a fine plan Doctor…” The Timelord mused to himself. “The most thought out? Noooooo. The most concrete? Noooooo. The most likely to succeed? Wellll…Maybe. But a fine plan none the less.” He looked around. “Well…at least I think it is anyway.”

Making his way carefully down Mane Street, The Doctor couldn’t help but let a soft chuckle escape from his lips at the play-on-words. “Mane Street? Really? Mane Street? I should have expected it but it still gets me all the same, everytime I think of it.” With another gentle chortle he looked about, his face growing from slightly joyful to intense in less than ten seconds. “Now…If I was an evil murdering alien intent on getting revenge on the one aline that wants to put a stop to his devious plans, where would I hide?” The Doctor’s ears flicked and he skipped to the side at the last second as a green colored being pounced at where he once stood from the shadows, black tentacles oozing from her mouth, slipping back inside her once again. He rolled to one side before looking back up to find exactly what he was looking for slowly turning to face him. “Well…in the shadow right behind me apparently…” He mumbled under his breath.

“Why don’t you just stand still and die Doctor?” The Blorvin said through the mares voice, its hoofsteps echoing in the cold night air.

The Timelord took a step back for each of the mare’s step’s forward, shrugging as he did so. “Well you know me. Can’t keep still, gotta keep moving and all that.” The Doctor took a few glances here and there. “A habit I can’t really kick really.”

“Why don’t you just stay were you are and except your punishment Doctor. After everything you have done, that I have heard you have done, do you really think my crimes could ever measure up to yours.” The mare smirked. “Let me be the judging being to set things right…”

“Well…tempting offer. Really it is. Wouldn’t change it for the life of me.” The Doctor turned to his side. “But before we do…Might we liven things up bit?”

“Oh?” The possessed pony raised an eyebrow. “What sort of game?” He asked in an annoyed tone.

“A very special game. One I use to play in my younger days.” He reared up kicking his hooves in the air before bolting away from the murdering alien. “Catch me if you can!!”

Fleur ran as fast as she could through Canterlot, her hoof beats echoing throughout the darken streets, the mare huffing and puffing as she galloped as fast as she could throughout the streets. She had not ran this fast in all her life, going over the part of the plan she had been given. He had, for his own reasons apparently, told her only what she should do and nothing else. It made her apprehensive but she had to do something, despite how outlandish it sounded. She had to trust that the doctor knew what he was doing.

With the sight of Canterlot Castle coming into view the mare put on an extra burst of speed.  She could see the night guard making their way to their shifts, adjusting armor and holding spears. She gave an unladylike gulp of fear as she saw that they had finally noticed her nearing them without stopping. She had needed to get past the lot of them if she was to make it on time. She didn’t know why, but she felt that if she failed…then all of Equestia would be in danger.

6th of Summer C.R., 10:30 p.m.

The night guards at the front gate could see a white blur speeding a little too quickly their way for their liking. They looked at each other before looking back towards the white dot slowly becoming the distinctive shape of a pony speeding towards them. It took only seconds before they would raise their spears and issue out an order of halt. Though they were sure the pony was in earshot they did not stop, instead the pony seemed to increase in speed at the sound of their voice.

“What do we do?” The one guard asked the other, a hint of uncertainty in his voice. “They don’t seem to be halting…”

The other guard squinted his eyes as she looked upon the mare. “Hey…I…I think that’s a mare. But what does she think she is doing?” he was about to call out to the mare again when he saw her horn glow with a flick of pink magic. She seemed to be readying a spell. “Is she…Is she attacking the castle?”

“Might be one of Celestia’s or Luna’s crazy fans.” His collogue suggested. “If that’s the case then do we take her down?” He looked towards the distance, eyeing the mare.  “I…Hey wait…isn’t that…”

The mare stopped in front of them, her pink mane in a tizzy as she breathed heavily. “S-sirs…I…I must see the princess.” She gasped out. “It’s…It’s important.”

“Fleur? Is that you?” One of the guards asked. “Fancy has been looking everywhere for you miss.” He reached out a hoof to grip her leg. “Come with me and we’ll take you too him. He’s been worried sick.”

The mare pulled away anger shifting into her eyes. “I have no time for the cheating foal! I need to see the princess! Now!”

“Now My Lady.” One guard exclaimed. “Be reasonable. You look like a mess and you need to get cleaned up. Fancy explained what was going on and he says that you need to rest.”

“W-what exactly are you saying…” She asked in an even tone. “What has he said about me.”

“He says that you been rather stressed and you need to take your medica-”

He didn’t get a chance to finish his sentence as something large and heavy slammed into him from the side. He laid in a daze, as well as his partner, the one who had suddenly and without warning, had a crash course in how strong an angry mare’s unicorn magic can be. As the mare used her magic to unlock the front she began to speak in a low tone.

“I do hope you all forgive me…but I need to speak to Celestia right now.” She smiled inwardly though. All those Magi-Fu Classes really came in handy in more ways than just keeping her body toned for…for. She blocked the thought of HIM from her mind. Why did he want her? She had said she was through with him so why? Was he really saying odd things about her?

The mare shook her head.

“Forget him for now...I need to do what the Doctor told me to do.” She said comely. She needed to get moving and she needed to do it now. She knew that the easy part was now over. Now came to actually meeting the mares in question. She didn’t know how she would but she needed to do so and she needed to do it soon.

6th of Summer C.R., 11:15 p.m.

“Whoops almost got me again!” The Doctor taunted as he ducked just out of reach of the mare’s grasp. Even in the dark night the stallion could see he was working the creature’s nerves. Despite being a stallion, he seemed to move with the grace of a dancer and had the vitality to match.

This thought bounced around in his head before he made a quick face of disgust.

“Really!? A dancer?! Really?! I couldn’t be…a..a..oh now what were those blokes that jumped from building to building? Parkourist? No…Yes…maybe…Yes.” He ducked just as a dark tentacle came zipping past his head and looked back to see a very angry blorvin. “Ok…Thinking while running for my life is bad. Very, very bad!” He looked forward and put on an extra burst of speed. “I’d rather deal with the Zigons any day. At least they have the decency to not kill you to take your form…well…not all the time.”

He once again jumped over a strike from the possessed mare who was now more irritated then before. “Stand still you damned fool!” It screamed. “You can’t keep this forever!”

“You’ll be surprised at how long I can keep this up!” He called back with a happy tone. “Did I ever tell you about the time River and I spent the night at the Tower of Pisa?” He chuckled to himself. “Let’s just say-”

“Shut the hell up!!” another tentacle struck close to where he was and he just laughed it off.

“Oh! So close!” He inwardly cringed however. A bit too close. Gotta watch myself…

The Stallion quickly made his way towards the cities giant fountain. Stopping just in front of it. He turned to find the monster stopping just a few dozen feet…or in this case a few dozen hoof lengths away from him. The monster’s stolen skin was beginning to crumple faster as he took each breath.

“So…was this your plan Doctor?” It scoffed as it took a step towards him. “If you even have one…”

The Doctor tapped a hoof to his chin in thought. “Of course I have a plan, I always have a plan. I am the man with the plan. Well…Pony with the plan.” He deadpanned. “That sounded stupid. Pony with the proposition? No. Pony with the idea? No. Pony with the plot?” He cringed. “No! No! No! Not that one! Defiantly not that one!” He smiled as he shrugged. “Well…Doesn’t matter. Anyway, I mostly wanted to stretch out my new body. It’s always tough getting new legs as it were…or in my case four new legs.” The Doctor took a step back as the Blorvin came closer.

The monster cracked a smile. “You know Doctor…It’s the dead of night…”

The stallion looked around before looking back at his opponent. “Yes…yes it is…”

“I’m much faster out of a shell then I am in one…” It commented.

“I have no doubt.” The Doctor agreed with a shrug.

“I could steal your body without hesitation.” It spat taking another step.

The Doctor smiled. “Oh? Then what’s stopping you?” The Blorvin stopped moving and went silent the question. “What? Nothing to say? I’m just a funny old Doctor out here on my own without any back up what so ever. What’s the problem?” Again he was met with silence. “Oh…I see…you’re cautious? Well, I can’t blame you. You have every right to be. All those stories you have heard of me. All true. Every single last one of them. You know what I do and what I am and that…in some small way…frightens you.” He glanced upwards before he closed his eyes. “There is one thing that the stories got wrong however. I am forgiving. I’ll give you this chance…just this one chance…Turn yourself in. Face your punishment. You can still do the right thing. You can still make up for the lives you destroyed. You don’t have to die here…”

The monster eyes grew cold. “Heh! Me?! Die?! That is a laugh Doctor!” The being scoffed as it took another step forward. “You say that as if you have authority over me Doctor! Like I said…what I have done cannot compare to what you have.” Dark tentacles began to slip from the body’s mouth and forming into the black ooze it once was. It towered over the Doctor as he stood stock still glaring up at the creature. “I’m doing this world a favor Doctor…Beings like you, need to disappear!”

“Oh really?” He smirked as he kept his eyes close. “Well…let me just ask one thing just one…” He raised his hoof in the air. “Say cheese…”

A bright light cast itself over the land and the monster screeched with pain, trying to seep back into the body it had stolen. It did not get very far however as the Doctor raised his Sonic Screwdriver towards it and, like a fishing rod, he pulled back, ripping the monster form the mare’s mouth. The green mare toppled to the ground, a shallow pained breath escaping her mouth as she laid there. The Doctor rushed to her side scanning her with the sonic and looking at the readings.

“heh…how do you like that. Set the Sonic to your bio-singuture so I could graps you withing touching. Ingenious really.” He then turned his direction back to the mare. “Don’t worry. You’re burned but not dead.” He reached inside his coat and pulled out a capsule. Lowering it into her mouth he forced her to swallow. “There…that should ease the pain for a bit. Now then…” he set the mare down gently before making his way to the black blob. “I gave you a chance. And you forced my hand…hoof…hand? Hoof?” He shrugged. “Anyway you forced me to take drastic measures.”

The blorvin cowered on the ground as he tried to pull itself out of the light. “I…Impossible…t-the sun…raising the sun now! Its…”

“Who said anything about the sun?” The Doctor looked up towards the bright sky and smiled cheekily. “Isn’t the moon lovely tonight by the way?”

The moon was shining brightly. More brilliantly then the monster had ever seen before, and it was perfectly aware of it. It did its best to crawl away with the Doctor trotting slowly behind it. It was stopped however in its tracks as it hit something clear and yellow. “What is…what is this…?” It gasped.

The Doctor Shrugged. “Don’t know. If I didn’t know any better I would have to say that it was a barrier of some kind caused by a rather advanced piece of technology. But I like to think I do know better though…” He looked behind himself. “Right?”

Behind him a brilliantly alabaster mare stood regally with head held high. Her three tone mane flowing slowly behind her with the nonexistent wind of the night. Slowly she trotted towards the Doctor and the Blorvin, a steel cold eye focused on the latter. She was tall. Taller than any pony had had met thus far. He also noticed what made her different than any of the other ponies he had met. Upon her head was the horn of a unicorn and upon her back were the wings of a pegasus.

The Doctor looked deep into her eyes, his eyebrow raiseing as he study her. “Interesting…”

If the tall white mare heard him she gave no indication. “So…this is the monster that has been threating my subjects as of late…” She inquired, her blank expression betrayed only by the coldness in her voice.

The Doctor, while small in comparison stood between the two beings. “Well…You must be the Sun Princess herself I presume. I’ve heard a bit about you from a friend of mine.”

She tuned a quick eye towards the little earth pony stallion. “Move aside Doctor…”

“Oh! You know me! That is interesting. I wonder how many times we have met.” He tapped his chin. “This is my first you see. I so hate to be out of order but what can you do?” He paused. “Which means that I won’t be leaving this for a while yet I assume. Well not that it really matters to me in the long run. Always up for a new adventure.” He paused again as Celestia raised an eyebrow. “Sorry…rambling.” He mentioned towards the black blob. “I take it you’re here for him...”

The mare looked down upon the Doctor. “Indeed, at least in part...” She looked towards the Blorvin. “I will take care of him.” Her horned shined bright covering the monster with a dim yellow aura. “You have been judged monster. For the death of four ponies and the attempted murder of two more your punishment shall be carried out forth haste and without trial according to the Equestiran Declaration.” The alicorn closed her eyes. “Do you have any last words?”

“You…” He turned to the Doctor who just stared back. “You think this is over?” It gasped. “I’m going to-!” A flash of light interrupted his speech as he abruptly disappeared from view.

“He was one of those types I see…” She turned to look back towards the Doctor. “If he had just said he was sorry, that he had felt regreat, then I wouldn’t have done what I did to him…”

The Doctor, in return, raised an eyebrow towards the mare. “And…what did you do to him… I don’t apove of killing you know, espesualy from someone all powerful as you.”

“Neither do I Doctor.” She closed her eyes. “I banished him is all.”

“Oh! Will that’s rather-“

“To the sun…”

The Doctor eyes widened before he knew it. “Really? And that’s not killing him how?”

“He shall not die, but He shall not live how he had expected. And I won’t be freeing him for a very…long…time.” She looked down towards the stallion, her eyes studying the little pony with curious interest. “Interesting.” She mused before trotting past him and towards the that was on the ground, her horn aglow as she did…something to the mare. The Doctor wasn’t quite sure but he was sure it would help.

He waved a hoof. “Anyway.” Pulling out his Sonic he scanned the bubble that surrounded him and the two mares. After he stared at it for a quick second he trotted around the bubble of yellow energy, poking and prodding it as he went. “Let’s see…Looks like a basic energy field but there are a few key points that I find interesting. Care to listen?”

She smiled lightly and nodded tending to the mare upon the ground.

“Point one. No pony is out checking to see what all the ruckus is so I would have to guess a sound damping spell of some sort since, you know, magic world in all. Point B.” he looked through the dome, pressing his face flat against it. “As I had thought. It’s more than just a barrier. It’s faint, very faint, but I see that it has a magnification element to it. Couple that with the near sun like heat you bubble gives off and you got your own personal magnifying glass powered by the moon. Very cleaver. Very cleaver indeed.”

Her smiled brightened. “You, my dear Doctor, are the clever one. You have to imagine my surprise when I find one of my subjects causing a complete, how shall I say, frakus in the courtyard below. Sending your companion in like that to gain my help, was quite the Idea. Though if you had been a few seconds too late then it would not have ended pretty for you.” She shook her head. “And you really did cut it a bit close dear Doctor. I was rather engaged when she had found me.” He raised an eyebrow inquiring her to continue. “Let’s just say that my sister and I were in the middle of the biggest pillow fight of our lives...I won by the way.”

The Doctor looked upon the mare before snickering slightly “Well, I have to thank her when I see her again. Where is she anyway? Is she ok?”

She chucked and shook her head. “Oh…she is fine Dear Doctor. As for my guards though…” Her eyes drifted away. “I need to double their training…” She looked back towards him. “I sent her off to your TARDIS. If she is still there then she would most defiantly be waiting for you.”

The Doctor chuckled before letting his laugh die down. “Right…Then off I pop. Please do take care of the little lady there. I was able to stop the blorvin from focusing on eating to chase after me. Her daughter is alright as well. I placed her in the hospital before I left so she should be there waiting for her mother. Now the mare will have to stay there for a while but what I gave her will help her by a large margin. Still she should take it slow the first couple of weeks. Doctor’s orders.”

He trotted past the mare as she released her shield and focused her magic in picking up the mother mare carefully within her magic. She had turned to face him but he was gone from sight. Her eyes soften as she closed them, readying a teleportation spell.

“So this is how it began…for you anyway. Then you…my dear Doctor…Are in for a time in a half.

6th of Summer C.R., 12:00 a.m.

Fleur opened her eyes as hoof steps came from in front of her, a joyful smile appeared upon her lips.

“Doctor!”

“Really now Miss Fleur,” He chided as he stood in front of her. “Fur or not you will catch a death of a cold out here by yourself.”

She rushed the stallion, gripping him in a tight hug that he happily returned. After wards she released him and smacked a hoof hard across his face.

“Oy!” He yelped, rubbing his cheek. “What was that for?”

“You had me worried sick Doctor! I thought you had died or…or…”

His ears flattened a bit. “Oh…yeah…” He looked away. “Saying sorry won’t change the fact that your mad at me will it?”

She glared at him with tears slowly forming in her eyes.

“Ok, Ok! Hint taken.” He trotted past her and made his way to the TARDIS’s Doors. “How about I make it up to you then.” He smiled as he clapped his hooves together, the doors once again reacting as it creaked open just a bit. He smirked knowingly as she slipped inside with just enough room for his body to slip in and for her to not see inside out right. The sounds of his voice seemed to echo as he spoke inside the cramp looking box. “Aaaaaaannnnd, brilliant! Just look at you! That’s my girl! That. Is. My. Girl! You’ve changed the whole interface! This is just…just…Brilliant!”

Fleur stood there for a moment before slowly making her way to the doors. With a creek she pushed one open and gaped at what she saw.

The small blue box opened to a room, a large room, much too large for the proportion that the box seemed to be. As amazing as that was inside was the most remarkable. It looked as though somepony had hollowed out a tree…a very very large tree. Smooth to the touch and not a ridge out of place, it seemed to give the mare a feeling of tranquility despite her overwhelming since of astonishment. A soft white light shined from above, setting a sunny like ambiance, even warming her fur as she slowly went further inside.  

In the middle of the room was a raised platform, with three slanted walkways leading to the middle of it. Some type of machine stood in the middle of it all. A large clear cylinder with a pair of horseshoes floating absentmindedly in it could be seen within the confines of the cylinder. A door on the far side of the wall could be seen leading to only Celestia knows where.

Hey mind slowly began to reboot itself after its temporary overload. Trotting out, she took a quick lap around the exterior of the box and then looked inside once again. She then did it a second time before slowly stepping inside the TARDIS itself. “I-Its…I…But…B-Bigger…inside…”

“I know right!” The Doctor agreed as she danced about the control panel. “Here, here, and here! Yes! All seems to be in working order and all systems ago!” He turned to the mare. “I know this is a lot to take in so if you have any questions, ask them now.”

“How…?”

“TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimensions In Space! T.A.R.D.I.S. TARDIS.”

“What…what does that even mean…?”

“Dimensional distortion!” Fleur looked towards the stallion with a confounded look causing the stallion to smile a bit more. “A dimension within a dimension as it were. Its like having a large box within a small box. Very complicated really.”

“I…This…this is magic…?”

“Annnnnnd no. Science.  Timelord technology to be more precise.” He looked towards the screen. “Oh you’ve been busy eh! Already mapping the new area! That a girl!”

“Your…your really are an…” The Doctor smirked as Fleur processed the information and continued with another question. “Why…do you look like a…?”

“Pony?” He finished for her. “Not sure really. I think I died somehow.” He looked towards the mare. “As to how…I’m a little foggy on that bit. Anyway, I use to be bi-pedal. You know what that means right?”

She glared at the Timelord. “I’m not stupid Doctor…means one that walks on two legs.”

“Sorry, didn’t mean to offend. Just asking is all.” He coughed into his hoof. “Anyhow I use to walk on two legs, and had no hair all over my body except the top of my head.”

“If…if what you say is true then how are you able to walk around so…normally. If this really is your first time being a pony then shouldn’t you be stumbling around like a foal?”

“Once again no ideal. Might have come with the complete pony package as it were.”

She looked the stallion up and down. “So…you died and you…what was the word…regenerated into a pony yet you don’t know why?”

“Not at all. I can only guess that It has to deal with where I landed. Time and space is very tricky like that.”

As her mind processed the information the Doctor began to flip switches and push buttons, dancing around the panel like a madpony. Turning to the mare the Doctor smiled brightly. “So Fleur…where would you like to go?”

She gaped. “H-Huh?”

“I’m saying I’ll take you anywhere you want to go.”

Fleur looked around franticly. “B-But I have a home...a job. I can’t just go and explore with you…”

“I…did mention to you that this is a Time Machine right? I’ll have you there and back just in time for afternoon tea.”

The mare’s eyes bulged. “You…have got to be kidding me? Some things I am more than willing to accept but isn’t saying that this is a time machine is a bit…much?”

“I am a Timelord Miss Fleur, emphasis on the word TIME.” He smirked. “I can go anywhere in time and space. From the distance stars to unknown lands. Every piece of history and every world in the stars at my beck and call.” He griped the mares hoof and led her to the control panel. “So, where would you like to go first?”

The mare’s eyes began to sparkle at the information. She could go anywhere…everywhere. She closed her eyes and what Fancy had told those guards came to the forefront of her mind. She could…go away. She needed to get away. Far away.

“Anywhere and anytime…” She smiled as she rested her eyes on the control panel. Her eyes then flicked upwards to the Doctor, or more importantly, to his attire. “Well…before any of that do you think we could make a quick stop. There’s a certain pony I need to see…”

Fancy watched with unamused disdain as the wind around the blue box kicked up and the box itself began to slowly disappear.  The Stallion’s anger began to mount every second until the box completely disappeared.  “I almost had her. If she had listened to me then…”

“See…like I said. Like a thief in the night to take what is yours…And your pet fell right into his clutches”

Fancy didn’t even turn to face the one who had spoken. “Where did they go…?

“Don’t know. Could be anywhere or any when. Heard to tell when it comes to the Doctor.” The voice’s hoof fell upon Fancy’s shoulder. “That’s why I need your help. I want to stop him as much as you do but alas I do not have the funds. That’s where you come in my little pony.”

“Tell me what you need and I will get it…Master…”
