Doctor and Ditzy’s Science Theater

by Rixizu

Episode 11 - Part 2

The dark pony paced back and forth as a voice talked to her. “So the prince has awoken. Well done.”

Ditzy: (Voice) Even if you did lose three of our best Shadowbolts.

The pony kept pacing. “I didn't plan that thinking I could beat him.”

Doctor: So you did send three of your men to die for no reason.

“Oh I know that,” the voice said. “I'm just wondering why you haven’t attacked him again. Sent him to Equestria yet.”

Doctor: (Shadow pony) I haven’t found a good travel deal online yet.

“If this is going to work, we need him to have his full power. Learning to harness it on Earth

Ditzy: Instead of Mars.

Doctor: Or Alpha Centauri.

 will make way for us to have easier control of him.” the pony said.

Ditzy: Wouldn’t it be safer to turn him over to the dark side first before giving him awesome powers? So if he doesn’t join your side, he doesn’t have the power to kick your behinds.

Doctor: For some reason, villains rarely realize their carefully made plans can fail.

“Well, the young prince is ready now, wouldn't you think?” The voice questioned. The dark pony stopped. “Yes. It is time for me to ready him. Ready him to be the prince.....of darkness.”

Ditzy: He is going to become a heavy metal rock star? That’s so cool!

Chapter 2-Falling into Darkness

It's been a week since I transformed into an alicorn on my birthday,

Ditzy: But you aren’t an alicorn. You’re still human! You just have wings now.

in front of my family. Naturally, I didn't go to school for a week.

Doctor: (Star) And I wanted to avoid being captured and experimented on by the government.

We all worked on adjusting life and I was SO grateful for my family.

Doctor: They are certainly taking this well.

Ditzy: (Star) I was so sure they would freak out and try to burn me alive or something.

They stood by me and did everything they could to help me.

Ditzy: (Star) Mom cut wing holes in all of my outfits.

One, we bought a glove, one of those that cover up the palm and the back of your hand, but left the fingers free. Two, when I learned how to retract my wings, we bought a backpack. It was big enough that I could fit my books AND my wings,

Ditzy: Sounds incredibly uncomfortable and sometimes painful.

without looking suspicious.

Doctor: Except for the fact that you constantly wear a backpack now for no reason.

Ditzy: Does he wear it to during gym class too? What about when he has to shower at school?

I spent a whole day practicing how to summon my sword and de-summon it. Because of it's color, I named it “Stormtide.”

Ditzy: That’s actually a pretty good name.

Doctor: I was expecting something with ‘black’ or ‘dark’ in it.

I learned very quickly that the necklace was supposed to represent my unicorn horn.

Ditzy: Really? ...Why didn’t he just grow a horn like he did with the wings?

Whenever I was really agitated, it would glow and magic would happen.

Ditzy: (Star) I accidently blew up my aunt like a balloon when I got mad at her.

I remember I got mad at my big sis and blew up the TV, then put it back together.

Doctor: (Star) It didn’t work...but it was a cool trick.

I quickly learned how to fly,

Ditzy: Oh course he did. Working hard and struggling to learn a new skill would be boring and time consuming.

and would fly around with my little sister's on my back.

Doctor: (Star) My sister always wanted a pony. I suppose this is close enough.

And the cutie marks on my hand? If I concentrated and yelled out one of the Mane 6's names, my clothes would change colors and I would gain very unique powers.

Doctor: Like Mega Man?

Ditzy: I just realized something, we still have no idea what Star looks like.

Doctor: The author doesn’t really want to give the details of much of anything.

Ditzy: He’s like Shire Folk, but in reverse.

I yelled Rainbow's name yesterday and started shooting all over the house, a rainbow behind me. My shirt had turned cyan and my pants had been rainbow colored.

Doctor: So what happens if you do that when you’re naked?

That was yesterday, but now I had to go to school.

Doctor: Good, not letting bizarre transformations get in the way of your education.

If I had only known it would be the last time.

Doctor: (Star) I won’t have spent an all nighter on that ten page paper on Alexander Hamilton.

School was pretty boring and usual.

Ditzy: (Star) The school bullies only gave me a swirly today.

I was in gym talking to my best friend, Karen. She was the only person who knew about my pony side, besides my family.

Doctor: Ah yes, the wacky best friend sidekick.

Ditzy: Why is everypony not reacting at all to what’s happening!?

“So you pretty much turned into Rainbow Dash? SO COOL!” Did I mention she was a MAJOR pegasister?

Ditzy: A female My Little Pony fan?

Doctor: (Shrugs) I guess.

“Yes,”I said. “I haven't tried Rarity's yet, wonder what happens with her's?

All: Something fabulous.

Karen jumped up and down, clearly happy. “Probably is sweet!”  

Ditzy: Doubtful, you will probably just get the ability to make pretty dresses or something.

We headed out in the gym to play dodgeball.

Ditzy: (Star) The couch was training us with wrenches again.

In the middle of the game, we all heard a....voice. “Dodgeball? I would just LOVE to play with you humans!”

Doctor: (Voice) Though it is a little hard to play dodgeball with pincers.

Everyone stopped moving. “Ohhh this is bad.” Karen said. “Eeyup.” I said.

Ditzy: Strange voices rarely lead to anything good.

A swirling darkness settled in the middle of the gym. It stopped and turned into....”Big Mac?!” Karen yelped.

Ditzy: So is this actually Big Mac, or just a shadowy recreation?

The shadow Big Mac looked at us and said, “Eeyup.”

Doctor: (Karen) Can I get an autograph!?

He then turned and started kicking dodgeballs at everyone, HARD.

Ditzy: Not a deadly dodgeball assault!

I took one to the stomach and went flying. Then I saw one flying toward Karen.

“Karen! No!” I yelled,

Doctor: In slow motion.

ripping my backpack off, exposing my wings. I shot thought the air and pushed her out of the way.

Doctor: Ironic doing more damage than if she was hit by the dodgeball.

Everyone in the room gasped, but I was past caring.

Doctor: (Star) I can get pantsed and shoved in a locker later.

“I'm okay, Star!” Karen said. “Go get him!” I nodded and landed in front of the shadow Big Mac.

Ditzy: Boss music time!

Doctor: A Dark Reflection of a Friend Phantom Macintosh

“Well, so you are the little prince.” he said.

Doctor: (Big Mac) I was created with the powers of darkness for this!?

I was shocked, hearing him say more then one word.

Ditzy: Not many ponies know this, but Big Mac is actually quite the philosopher and poet.

But I yelled back. “I'm NOT A PRINCE!”

Doctor: (Star) I’m a princess!

Big Mac kicked a ball toward me, I barely had time to deflect it with magic. As he rushed at me, I stepped out of the way and summoned Stormblade. I cut a gash in his side as he rushed past. He did kick me in the face though sending me into the bleachers. “Owww.” I said, wincing.

Ditzy: Ouch.

Doctor: Maybe getting close was a bad idea.

I landed on the ground and thought about what Karen told me.

Ditzy: (Karen) I’m sorry Star, but I can’t return your feelings. I don’t feel about the same way. I think it would be best if we remained just friends.

Doctor: (Star) The other memory!

“Wonder what Rarity's is? Bet it's sweet!” I stood up and yelled, “Rarity!” In a burst of light, my shirt became white and my sleeves and pants turned purple.

Ditzy: If you are going to give him transformations, you could at least make them cool and interesting.

I shot diamonds(DIAMONDS?!) out of my hand at Big Mac.

Doctor: Diamonds?

Ditzy: Rarity's power is actually useful?

I got him in the butt and he charged at me again. I ducked away and wrapped rubies around his legs like a rope.

Ditzy: That sounds like more of an Applejack power.

I flew up into the air, wrapped him around and slammed him into the  ground.

Then I flew down yelling, “RRRAAAA!!!”

Doctor: (Star) Star smash puny shadow pony.

I slammed the sword deep into his heart and flipped off of him.

As he started to disappear he said, “You'll be in Equestria soon.”

Doctor: (Big Mac) You’re class is taking a field trip there next week.

He completely disappeared. I transformed back to normal and ran over to Karen.

Ditzy: (Star) Some day huh? We should really get going. It’s about time for Algebra class.

“Karen, listen to me.” She looked at me, crying. “I have to leave for a while, but I promise I'll be back.” I softly took her head and looked at her. “I promise.”

She stepped back. “I know Starlight.

Doctor: They actually put Starlight as his first name on his birth certificate?

Ditzy: (Reading) Starlight Edwin Sagan Ptolemy?

Now go do what you have to.” I kissed her on the forehead and ran out the door.

Doctor: No running in the halls!

Once outside, I took off into the sky, flying home.

Ditzy: It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's Supersue!

I landed in front of my house. I ran up to the front door.....and then the house exploded. I flew backwards and slammed into the street. “NOOOO!!!” I yelled.

Doctor: (Star) My limited edition Elvis collector plates!

Ditzy: (Star) And I just bought that PS4 too!

I heard a voice from behind me. “I told you to enjoy what you had left.” Nightmare Moon

Ditzy: Nightmare Moon?!

Doctor: Did Luna relapse into evil?

said walking up to the house. “Now come and take your place as the prince of darkness!”

Doctor: ...This isn’t the silliest proposal to join evil I have ever seen.

I looked down and said, “They loved me...and you took that from me. They knew what would happen when they adopted me.”

Ditzy: But, um...I don’t think your family is dead. Your parents are probably at work and your sister is at school.

Doctor: Or they could have just stepped out for awhile.

I looked up, pure rage in my eyes. “I will make them proud. And I'll do that by killing you,

Doctor: (Star) My parents always wanted a murderer in the family. Gives them something to talk about at family gatherings.

you insane, murderous BITCH!!”

Ditzy: There’s that word again.

My eyes flashed, and I saw white. I felt a terrible burning on my right hand.

Doctor: (Star) I really need to buy ointment for that.

I raised Stormtide and yelled, “MANE 6!” My body exploded with color, and I shot a vicious blast of pure magic, slamming Nightmare with it.

Ditzy: He can do that?

Doctor: (Star) Taste the power of the rainbow jerkface.

Nightmare took off and flew in the sky, me closely behind. I kept shooting her with raw magic, not even caring. Suddenly I looked down and saw we were over a giant black hole.

Doctor: Hey, an ACME Portable Hole!

“The portal to your destiny!” Nightmare laughed.

Many things rushed though my mind,

Ditzy: (Star) If I go through with this, I will never see the finale of Game of Thrones.

Doctor: (Star) Did I pay Karen the 5 bucks I owed her?

but I said softly. “See you later, Karen.”

Doctor: (Singing) We'll meet again

Don't know where

Don't know when

But I know

We'll meet again

Some sunny day

I launched myself at Nightmare and swung Stormtide upward, slashing her. Then I teleported upward and slashed her downward, into the portal. I flew in after her. Suddenly my wings didn't work! I flapped and flapped trying to go up but it was no use. The portal shut above us and we fell.

Ditzy: (Star) Well shoot, that was a bad idea.

As we fell,  we fought hard. I flew by her and cut a deep gash in her side. She pushed me away and shot dark magic at me. I deflected her shots and fired back out of my left hand. Suddenly our blasts connected and we pushed,

Ditzy: What is this? Dragonball Z?

trying to get the better of each other.

Doctor: (Nightmare) Hey! What’s that behind you?

Ditzy: (Star) What? Where? Gah!

Doctor: (Nightmare) Fool.

She said, “You Will Be Mine!”

Ditzy: (Nightmare) You’re soul is mine!

“Not on your life!” I yelled. I pushed harder and slammed my magic into her horn, breaking her magic.

Ditzy: Ouch.

Doctor: That had to sting.

She screamed and disappeared. The portal walls around me turned white and I suddenly was falling in the middle of the sky. “Oh this is NOT good.” I said, as I turned back to normal.

Doctor: (Star) If only I could fly somehow.

I de-summoned Stormtide and found myself heading for a giant tree. “Well,” I said. “Here we go.”

Doctor: (Star) My imminent death. How annoying.

The last thing I remembered was slamming into the roof of the tree house

Ditzy: Not the Cutie Mark Crusader Clubhouse!

 and everything went black.

All: The end.
