Doctor and Ditzy’s Science Theater

Episode 26 - Part 4

"You did what?!" The mare yelled in frustration. "Cloud Puff, I am ashamed of you!"

Trixie: (Rainbow) I have no daughter!

"I'm sorry Rainbow Dash..." Cloud Puff said with a frown, "I'm a loser." She said hanging her head.

Doctor: You call your mother by her real name?

" No your not!" A while pegasus stallion besides Rainbow said.

Trixie: Yeah! You’re just sorry because you got caught!

"Yes I am dad..." Cloud Puff muttered,

Doctor: And yet you call your father “dad”...

sniffling and walking to the door, ready to go to her home.

The white stallion stepped forward, ready to scold Cloud Puff for her foolish behavior, but a cyan hand stopped him.

"Let her go, Soarin." Rainbow Dash said. "I'll deal with her."

She walked to her daughter by the door.

Trixie: Time for some hot mother on daughter spanking action!

-----

"Deep breaths, Ivy, deep breaths." Sugar Rush said in a soothing voice to Poison Ivy, who was leaning against her.

Trixie: There is no emotion, there is peace.

She took one shaky breath and sighed.

"I-i'm s-scared..." Poison Ivy said in a low shuddery tone.

A gasp echoed through the kitchen as Twilight quickly ran towards Poison Ivy and Sugar Rush.

Doctor: (Ivy) Why is the fridge stuffed with nothing but cans of whipped cream?

"What happened here?!" Twilight demanded to know.

Doctor: (Twilight) What did you do to her Sugar Rush?! What did you do?! If you don’t tell me, so help me, I will throttle you!

Sugar glanced at Ivy and then looked at Twilight, who wore a worried expression.

"Ivy and Cloud Puff got into a fight and then this happened." She motioned to the shaking mare leaning against her.

Ditzy: For crying out loud. You leave her alone for two seconds and this happens.

Twilight thought for a moment and then looked at Poison Ivy, her eyes showed fear.

Trixie: (Twilight) Should I give her CPR? I have no idea what to do in this situation!

She sat next to her and signaled for Sugar Rush to let them alone for a moment.

Ditzy: (Twilight) Well, if all else fails, test spells on her until she gets better!

Sugar Rush got up and walked out of the kitchen. Twilight looked at the shivering mare besides her and frowned.

"Poison Ivy, what is going on?" She asked softly while wrapping a wing around Ivy.

Doctor: You do remember that they are humanoid bipeds now? That doesn’t really work.

Ditzy: To make it even weirder, Ivy is a giant too.

"The voices...they haunt me..." Poison Ivy said shakily.

For once, Twilight was confused. She had never heard of anything like it.

Doctor: Yeah, this is kind of coming out of nowhere.

Trixie: This fic is shifting gears...again? Ugh.

"What voices?" She asked, leaning closer.

"The voices inside my head...they make me do things..." Ivy said in a whisper. " Things I don't want to do..." She continued.

Doctor: (Ivy) They tell me a catastrophe is coming, and the only way to stop it is through pony sacrifices!

Ditzy: It’s just one bad thing after another with this mare. It’s like the author is going out of his way to make her life as miserable as possible.

Twilight was now very confused. Voices? That haunt? She was confused alright…

Ditzy: You’re not the only one.

"What do they say?" She asked.

"Things...horrible things I don't want to do...but I do them anyways...sometimes." Ivy replied.

Trixie: (Ivy) I’ve lost count of all the people I’ve chopped up over the years.

"What do you mean sometimes?" Twilight asked in confusion.

Ditzy: (Ivy) This guy was a real jerk to me at the convenience store once, so I didn’t mind when the voices told me to kill him.

"I do not want to do those things, but my body is forced to by my mind...I try to stop it but end up just...modifying them!" Ivy exclaimed, lifting her head and waving her hands in the air dramatically.

Trixie: (Ivy) Somehow it turned from ‘give that person a hug’ to ‘break their neck and hide the body’.

Twilight's eyes widened in shock.

Doctor: (Twilight) I let this monster into my house!

"You can fight commands from your mind?!" She asked in surprise.

Ditzy: So instead of pressing D+DF+F+P, Ivy presses F+D+DF+P!

"I...guess..." Ivy shrugged.

"Ivy, this is amazing!" Twilight exclaimed while getting up so fast, she pulled Poison Ivy with her.

Ditzy: (Facehoofs) Only Twilight would find something like this exciting.

"You might be the first pony in history to control your mind!" She continued to shout, with a huge smile.

Doctor: (Blinks) What?

Ditzy: Um, don’t pony...human whatever do that already?

Poison Ivy managed to free herself from Twilight's wing and said "I feel dizzy..." before falling to the floor with a loud thunk.

Trixie: (Twilight) I knew this perfume Rarity suggested was a bad idea.

The last thing Poison Ivy heard before going unconscious was a shriek and a call for help from Twilight. The world around her went black…

-----

Poison Ivy slowly opened her eyes. Everything around her was black, a tall, pure black figure was standing in the the middle of it all. She got up as quickly as she could, "Princess Luna!" Ivy called to the figure feared by all, Nightmare Moon!

Trixie: So why didn’t Ivy call her Nightmare Moon then?

The grand alicorn turned around completely, looking at Ivy with a fanged grin.

"We have been expecting you, Poison Ivy!" Nightmare Moon said in a loud booming voice.

Doctor: (Nightmare Moon) Come! The newest season of Fuller House premiers tonight! I have popcorn!

Poison Ivy growled under her breath, "Why did you call me here?!" She said through gritted teeth.

Ditzy: (Ivy) You could have at least called first!

Nightmare Moon laughed her sinister laugh.

Ditzy: Complete with lightning crackling behind her!

"Getting ahead of ourselves aren't we?" She wickedly said.

Trixie: (Nightmare) We so need to catch up! So, have you met any cute boys since I last saw you?

"Why did you call me here!?!" Poison Ivy repeated, this time louder.

"Hm, quite an impatient one of I do say so my self." Nightmare said as she glanced at the enraged young changeling. "Anyways, I called you here so you could get a message to your pathetic little pony friends..."

Doctor: (Nightmare) Tell them I can’t make the slumber party tomorrow. Something came up and we need to reschedule.

Poison Ivy was not know for having patience, "

Trixie: Really? Trixie would have never guessed that. Come on! The fic just told that a second ago!

That is?" She asked.

Ditzy: (Ivy) Let me guess. We are all doomed and we can’t stand up to your evil might blah blah blah. I’ve seen saturday morning cartoons, Nightmare Moon!

"The shadows will rise and they shall rule over Equestria once more!" Nightmare Moon yelled.

Trixie: (Nightmare) I could force you kill them all in their sleep instead of loudly announcing myself, but that would be boring.

Doctor: Villains never think of that do that. They always have to make a grand appearance of some kind.

And as those words were said Poison Ivy awake from her nightmare.

Doctor: Huh, that evil speech was actually pretty short for once. It’s actually pretty refreshing!

Ditzy: Thank Celestia we don’t have to deal with endless monologuing like we did with Corona.

-----  

Beep...Beep...Beep…

Trixie: It’s a proximity bomb! Duck for cover!

That was all that could be heard in the hospital room where Poison Ivy lay motionlessly on the bed.

Doctor: (Doctor) I am sorry to tell you this, but… the injuries to your brain mean that you will probably never move again.

Ditzy: (Ivy) What! No!

Doctor; (Doctor) Ha! Just kidding! You’re perfectly fine! Always wanted to tell a patient that!

Everypony had their eyes on the three princesses that were  present. Luna, that was sleeping soundly on a chair, Celestia, who stood next to Poison Ivy's hospital bed, and Twilight, who was looking at Ivy from a chair with tear stained cheeks.

Trixie: All of them? What, they just met her!

Doctor: Must be a slow day at the castle I guess.

Suddenly, Poison Ivy and Princess Luna awoke at the same time. Both were panting and sweating.

"Nightmare Moon is back!" They both said in unison.

Celestia and Twilight were both taken back by their words.

Doctor: (Twilight) I was so sure that Chrysalis would be the villain of this fic!

Trixie: (Twilight) The author does know you need to set up and foreshadow your main villain first before using them right?

"Ivy!" Twilight cried, while running up to the young mare in the bed and hugging her. "I was so worried, I thought we lost you!"

Doctor: (Twilight) It’s a shame we can’t dissect you for science. We know so little about changelings!  

"Nightmare Moon is coming..." Ivy simply said. "And she told me give you guys this message..."

She took a deep breath and continued, "The shadows will rise and they shall rule over Equestria once more." She let it all out in a sentence just like Nightmare did.

Ditzy: (Twilight) Oww! Did she have to yell it too?

"It is true..." Everypony turned to look at Princess Luna, who was frowning and wore a sad look on her face.

"Nightmare Moon is going to try to take over Equestria once more." She sighted, "And she is going to use Poison Ivy and I to do it..." She finished with a shake of her head.

Doctor: And the night will last for forever blah blah blah.

"We must be left alone..." Luna said. "Until the dark magic within us is calm enough." She finished.

Ditzy: Sounds like a really dumb plan considering she can take over bodies but okay!

Celestia looked at Luna and then at Ivy, They both look awfully tired she thought and then nodded.

Ditzy: (Celestia) Luna must be staying up all morning playing the new Pokemon game again.

"Rest, both of you..." She said,

Doctor: (Luna) Nay! I must complete my Pokedex first! I am still required to catch 20 more Pokemon!

"Now come along everypony, we must leave them to rest." She walked out of the hospital room with the rest close behind and her former student besides her.

"Celestia, what is going to happen with Poison Ivy and Princess Luna?" Twilight asked.

Celestia rubbed her temples and sighed. "When it comes to dark magic, it is best to ask Luna. But she is not available, so I will answer your question. Poison Ivy is no ordinary changeling, her father, King Sombra, was evil. And her mother, Queen Chrysalis, is evil too.

Ditzy: And she’s being possessed by Nightmare Moon too! ...I think. What next? Her grandpapa is Discord? And her godfather was Tirek?

So when they mated and had Poison Ivy,

Doctor: Remember, evil is genetic!

Ditzy: Mated? I believe the term is “banged”.

they both transferred some of their dark magic to her. That magic takes time and practice to control. It's illusion magic." She said.

Twilight's eyes were the size of pin pricks, illusion magic was a type of forbidden magic.

Trixie: What! No it’s not! Otherwise I would be out of work!

Doctor: So does this mean Nightmare Moon is just a figment of Ivy’s imagination made real?

Author's Note:

If you have already read the post before this chapter then I bet you are wondering how I posted this. My response is, the internet is back online whoohoo! Hope you guys enjoyed!

Ditzy: And that’s it? But so much is unresolved! Not even Legend of Starlight ended this with many loose threads!

Doctor: At least it’s short.

Trixie: Now we will never know if Ivy will ever have a happy moment in her life.

Doctor: What was the point of this being anthro? It added absolutely nothing.

Trixie: What was the point of anything in this fic? Let’s just get out of here!

---

“What a waste,” Trixie complained.

“Ugh, I hate unfinished fics,” Ditzy said, “now I will always wonder what happened next!”

“Really?” Trixie raised an eyebrow.

“Okay, it won’t haunt my dreams or anything, but it is still annoying!” Ditzy relented.

“What is that?” The Doctor pointed towards a scroll on a table. It had their names on it. He picked it up and read it.

Dear Doctor, Bright Eyes, and What’s-her-name,

Twilight complained over and over again to me about sending this to you. She just wanted to say hi and tell you that she won. The power of friendship conquers all blah blah blah. Really, it is only out of the goodness of my heart that I am sending this to so you better appreciate it. Still, I have to say it was quite the harrowing adventure full of intrigue, danger, romance, and me of course. You should have seen me. I was so dashing and courageous it was truly a sight to behold. Too bad you missed it. Feh, this letter has gone on for far too long. I am getting bored of writing this already. Tootles.

Great and Fantastic Lord of Chaos himself,

Discord.

P.S. This message will now self-destruct in 5 seconds.

Everypony screamed in shock as the letter turned to goo than exploded into glitter making a mess everywhere. Ditzy groaned. She would have to clean this mess.

Trixie rolled her eyes. “And ponies say Trixie has an ego.”

"At least we know Twilight won.” Ditzy cheered. “That is fantastic news.”

“Did he really just break the laws of reality to brag and annoy us?” The Doctor wonder.

“Well, yeah.” Ditzy said. “That is his thing.”

“I really hope that is the last we see of him.” The Doctor shook his head.

“No kidding.” Trixie agreed.

Somewhere in the facility darkness stirred. It didn’t know where it was and what it was, but it knew it wanted to live and feel. Something felt off, missing. But that didn’t matter at the moment. The Darkness started to take form. It felt it hooves forming. It stretched many appendages from its body. It grew fangs and a multitude of eyes. The Darkness grinned, and it rose to its full height. It felt great to finally have form. No, wait. The Darkness was pretty sure that it was a she. That was a good start! Now all it had to do was find a way out of these bland corridors.

It took some effort, but it finally found some stairs! Stairs that meant a way up! So, she climbed despite the awkwardness of walking up with six legs. She still wasn’t used to her limbs yet. There was a door, and she preceded to open it. Air, the Darkness felt air on her face. It was good. The new experience was exciting for her. Outside was what she was pretty sure were trees and rocks. Boring, but that was okay. She was sure fun and excitement was out there somewhere.

Twilight gasped and quickly let go of Poison Ivy, giving her a gentle push. This girl was the daughter of the monster who locked her in those old crystal caves! And she was hugging her! Next Chapter: Episode 27 - Night Fall Equestria - Part 1 Estimated time remaining: 50 Minutes
