Chapter 31: Error 404 Key not found

3 days later…

Logan was finally recovered from his recent battle with the Entity as it hit him hard his home planet was destroyed by the monster and tears were shed but he never the ponies see them, to him it was the sign of giving the Entity satisfaction and that was not gonna happen!

The only revenge Logan could get was to get the Sixth and final key and plant a huge hole in the Entity’s stomach and rip his guts out! So he gathered his friends at his house only to find it as they pulled out the map there was no Sixth key appearing.

“What gives Navi? Where’s that sixth key?” asked Logan

“That’s what I’d like to know” said Dash

“No…just as I feared…” muttered Navi observing something with fear

“What’s wrong Navi?” asked Twilight

“The Sixth Key…no longer exists” said Navi shocked

“WHAT?!” said the Mane Six and Logan

“Aw Ponyfeathers” said Spike

“You mean this quest was NOTHING?!” asked Logan furiously

“What do we do now?” asked Rarity

“I cannot believe it! It seems the key was destroyed five years ago around the time the Entity first attacked Ponyville” said Navi having the knowledge revealed by the keys

“Well that’s just FUCKING great! What other way do we have now?” despaired Logan

“Well…unless we have a time lord running around Equestria there is no way to restore it but those have been extinct for 500 years as no known record existed of them otherwise I would enlist the help of one” said Navi

“Wait...all is not lost, A time lord still exists Navi, all I gotta do is find him, he can be very unpredictable” said Twilight

“Who on Celestia’s mane are you talking about?” asked Dash confused

“Doctor Hooves, an old friend of mine I met in Canterlot as a filly and he lives here in Ponyville, he’s always been travelling in that TARDIS thing of his which I never understood completely but one day I will figure-“ rambled Twilight

“Get on with it!” said Dash

“Yeah get on with it!” said Logan

“GET ON WITH IT!” said the rest of the ponies

“Uh didn’t we use that joke a good 25 chapters or something ago?” asked Pinkie

“What?” asked Logan curiously wondering what Pinkie was talking about

“What?” asked Pinkie confused

Somewhere on an alternate universe Earth...

A Human in front of a computer was sitting having a shocking realization...

"Strange, I feel as though someone has broken the fourth wall...I wonder who would do such a thing?" said the Human

The Human just shrugged and went back to his computer...

Back to the story...

“Anyway, Doctor Hooves’ TARDIS can time-travel to any location so all we need to do is find that stallion

“No need for that Twilight, I’m already here” said a voice from the door

A Brown Stallion walked in the house bearing a hourglass cutie mark and smiled at Twilight who gave a wave back

“Doctor Hooves I assume?” greeted Rarity

“That is correct, I know who all of you are as you are all important to the timeline itself but I believe the Alicorn Stallion over there is the Alien, Logan Townson correct?” said Doctor Hooves

“That’s my name don’t wear it out” replied Logan

“Anyway, excellent timing we need your TARDIS to recover an important key” said Twilight

“I already know for I’ve seen the future and it does not bode well, the precise date the key was destroyed was the 24th of February at 11:30am 5 years ago” said the Doctor

“That was during our last battle with the Entity!” said Rarity remembering the event

“So you see we need to go back and get it” said Fluttershy

“Yes but unfortunately I can only bring one pony with me” said the Doctor

“But which one of us goes?’ asked Dash

“I say the strapping Stallion over there does” said the Doctor pointing to Logan

“Me? Why me?” asked Logan

“You don’t exist here in Equestria 5 years ago but everypony else does and also you are more powerful than the others and better to take on the Entity if you must defend yourself” explained the Doctor

“Ok then, when do we leave?” asked Logan

“Right now” said the Doctor simply

Logan and Doctor Hooves left for the TARDIS at once and after saying a quick good-bye the pair of them were speeding off to 5 years in the past where the sixth key lies in wait. Before landing in the past Doctor Hooves had to get a few things about Time Travel of his chest.

“Now listen Logan, when you go out there you must be extremely careful, as any move you do affects the future and it means if you do too much damage certain events will never happen, do you understand me?” explained Doctor Hooves

“Sure” answered Logan

“Your friends are not your friends you just left but their past selves and they do not know of you, Fluttershy does not know you’re together and acting so can cause weird results and most importantly, Don’t talk to anypony and don’t touch anything that plays a key part in maintaining the timeline” said the Doctor

“I understand all that” said Logan remembering the Time Travel movies

“This is very important! DO NOT Interfere with anything unless necessary!” warned Doctor Hooves

“I will bear those in mind and besides when I get back I will rip the Entity’s organs out for what he did to Earth” said Logan clenching his fist at the thought of him

THUD!

“We are here, one last gift this is a watch with the precise date and time of this time and good luck!” said the Doctor

February 23rd, 0900hrs, sometime between Season 1 and Season 2, Ponyville…

Logan stepped out of the TARDIS, which was parked outside Ponyville and it didn’t look too different at all from the present as he took a deep breath and walked to the entrance with a clear mind on what to do…
