Hello again. This time we are going to be reading chapters 7,8, and 9 of Spread of Darkness. This is where the story gets really really bad. The new OC completely takes over the story and makes everyone else look like small potatoes, and you thought Spike was a bad insufferable Mary Sue/Gary Stu?This is my least favorite fanfic trope. It gets worse in later chapters. At least we are almost finished. I also fixed a few things in the previous chapters. I somehow left out an author’s note in chapter 2, fixed text that should have been bolded, and added a few riffs. Looks a lot better now. Fimfiction keeps bolding text for some reason whenever I try to transfer from Google Docs. So I have to select all the text and bold and unbold it to fix that. So that is why that happened. I will have to find a good way to stop that from happening. Fimfiction is weird sometimes.  

In other news, I am uploading all the chapters to DeviantArt. I think it is nice to have some extra mirrors and make the fic easier to search for. You can find it here. Also, before I upload them, I am going to do some editing to fix some mistakes, and man have I found many. Embarrassingly so. You will see these updates on Fimfiction and GoogleDocs. Frankly this was long overdue.  

I also found another fic I am going to do. It’s called Night Fall Equestria by FLUTTERxxDASH. It about a corrupted Twilight getting vengeance on Sombra and Chrysalis for killing her. They took over Equestria and now she’s going to take it back...by turning into the exact same tyrant they are. It’s your typical grimdark hyper violent gory fic that turns the main character into a total monster. Personally, despite the bad grammar, spelling, storytelling, and downer ending, it’s sorta decent. It has some good ideas and moments. Ok, it’s mostly terrible, but part of me kinda likes it. Anyway, on with the fic!

If anyone is interesting in editing Doctor and Ditzy’s Science Theater, please PM me on my fimfiction account. It would be so nice to actually have an editor! Then you all don’t have to deal with my downright embarrassing grammar and spelling!

If you have a fanfic recommendation, comments, or criticisms please leave a comment or PM me at my fimfiction account or my blog on Tumblr. Please NO clop or fanfiction with extreme violence. I am not going to do those. I want to do a more family friendly series and it is going to be relatively clean. Besides everyone else does them. Okay, I might do one for a special occasion. But otherwise no clop or extreme gore fics. Ok, enough rambling. On with the fic!

Special thanks to The Grimm Reaper for letting me do his story. You are awesome!

Doctor and Ditzy’s Science Theater

by Rixizu

Episode 19 - Part 1

            The entity chuckled to itself. It finally had the perfect opportunity to strike and finish the hated Doctor once and for all. The stallion in question was relaxing in the pool’s hot tub after exhausting himself racing his two companions. The Doctor had been on his guard for the last few weeks. It seemed that, despite being invisible to everypony, he could somehow sense its presence, but now he was defenseless. Ditzy was nearby getting ready to get in the pool. She was putting on some two piece clothing after stripping herself of a shirt and some short pants. She looked as equally tired as the Doctor. It wouldn’t be difficult to take over her body with her body and mind so exhausted. It would take a lot of energy, but it had a lot of energy saved in reserve. It had been feeding off the anger and negativity they had been giving off when reading those terrible fanfics. All the entity had to do was to wait for Ditzy to get into a convenient position. It didn’t want to waste any energy unnecessarily or get tired too and lose control while delivering the killing blow.

        Ditzy was finally in position. She was walking behind the Doctor ready to get in the pool. The entity rushed towards her and took total control of her body. The body stumbled a little but quickly regained balance. One of the reasons the entity took over Ditzy so close to the Doctor was because it didn’t trust itself walking on two legs. Ditzy’s normal pony body would be better, but this would have to do.

        The possessed Ditzy awkwardly walked towards the Doctor. He didn’t seem to notice. She reached the Doctor. The possessed Ditzy gave a devilish grin. The possessed Ditzy’s hands moved closer to the Doctor’s neck. Ditzy was strong. It wouldn’t take much to push him under and drown him. She got closer ready to clasp around the Doctor’s neck. The grin widened the closer it got to the Doctor’s throat.

        Suddenly the entity felt strange, and then looked at Ditzy’s hands in surprise. They were hooves again. The entity felt Ditzy’s body starting to topple over. Ponies aren’t meant to stand on two legs. Ditzy fell right onto the Doctor and they fell into the water. The entity lost complete control of Ditzy and found itself falling into the hot tub. Ditzy’s body crashed into the Doctor’s head. The water and the pain from hitting the Doctor broke the entity’s hold over Ditzy. It cursed profusely.

        “Ow. What gives Ditzy?” The Doctor proclaimed angrily after he rose from the water.

        “Not sure what hap…” Ditzy said also rising from the water. She stopped when she saw a grey hoof come out of the water. She gasped loudly. “I’m a pony again!”  She flew out of the water and did a loop in the air.

        “I’m a pony again!” She said happy as can be. She grinned ear to ear. She flew around in the air back and forth.

        “Well I’ll be.” The Doctor said smiling.

        “What’s the hubbub about?” Pinkie asked as she walked into the pool area. She gasped loudly. “You’re a pony again Ditzy!” Pinkie bounced in the air eagerly.

        “Darn straight I am!” Ditzy did another loop in the air. “If you would excuse me, I’m going to test these babies out!” She flew out the room past Pinkie in almost a blur.

        “She seems quite happy.” The Doctor said getting out of the hot tub.

        “We should totally throw a party!” Pinkie proclaimed.

        “For once, I think you are right.” The Doctor admitted.

        “I have to get ready! The experiment is about to start soon!” Pinkie zipped out of the room.

        “Hey, slow down.” The Doctor said to empty air. He sighed and followed after her.

        The entity would be grinding its teeth if it still had any. “I don’t believe this!  I was so close! How was that even possible!  Just…er” It flew around irately then stopped. “Never mind.”

        It grew confident. “That was just a minor setback.” It chuckled to itself. “They didn’t even notice me. The Doctor is still unaware just how screwed he is.”

        “Yep. I just have to wait a little longer, and then vengeance will be mine!”

        Ditzy entered the main meeting room. She noticed all the party decorations. “Looking good.” She said out loud.

        “Not so bad considering we only had 20 minutes.” The Doctor responded from across the room. He was lifting a metal basin for bobbing for apples to a nearby table.

        “You’re helping Pinkie?” Ditzy asked as she walked up to the Doctor.

        “Sure, this time it actually is a special occasion.” He replied. “I know how unhappy you

were as a human.”

        “Aw. That’s sweet of you.” Ditzy complimented.

        “It’s the least I could do.” The Doctor shrugged. “I’m the one that got you in that mess in the first place.”

        Ditzy hugged him. The Doctor hugged back and patted Ditzy on the back.

        “Awww.” Pinkie cooed. “Sooo cute!”

        The Doctor coughed embarrassed. Ditzy just giggled.

        “Hello my little test subjects.” Dinky called out from her monitor. “Well, well, well. It seems your back to normal again Ditzy.” Dinky sounded happy about this fact.

        “Yep! Too bad you have to come and spoil my perfectly good day.” Ditzy said annoyed.

        “Now now.” The Doctor chided. “None of that. This time we will be reading chapter 7, 8, and 9 of Spread of Darkness by Grimm Reaper correct?”

        “Well, yes that is correct.” Dinky replied.

        “And then we can have your ‘Turned back into a pony from a human after a terrible magical accident party!’” Pinkie declared happily. She drew out the word party as she said it.

        “Enjoy.” Dinky gave out her evil laugh. The experiment alarm went off and the Doctor, Ditzy, and Pinkie rushed to the theater.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 7: Angelus Infiltration

Doctor: That angel is a spy!

        Chrysalis crept through the corridors of the ancient castle of the Sisters, where she could smell the stench of Cadence and her friends.

Pinkie: (Covers nose)

Ditzy: Maybe the reason everypony is getting all dark colored is because of lack of bathing.

She was unnaturally nervous about this whole thing.

Pinkie: What if they don’t like her new mane cut?!

Doctor: (Chrysalis) What if Twilight doesn’t like me after I kill her brother?

The only reason she would infiltrate the home of somepony who had beaten her before was for the continuation of her kind,

Ditzy: Really, aren’t you all about revenge and stuff?

and that was exactly why she was staking her own life. That strange and nerve-wracking pony

Pinkie: He snorted any powder he could get his hooves one, like rock candy or salt.

promised all the love she and her hive could consume for the rest of their existence, for the continuation of their existence.

Doctor: I’m thinking you missed some fine print somewhere.

Ditzy: What do you…”For the rest of their existence” Oh...oh dear.

There was something about that stallion which chilled the changeling to the bone.

Pinkie: But he seems so on the up and up! He gave you a free toaster!

        She crept through the main corridors, stopping just short of a room which held conversation within. She stopped to listen, pressing her ear to the door.

Ditzy: (Twilight) Mmmm, Cadance! Spike and Shining can never learn of our secret love!

        “Spike’s getting restless.

Pinkie: He’s been clawing at the door all day!

He says he can feel something on the horizon, and it’s not related to the war.” Twilight said.

Pinkie: He suspects it might be….the sun!

There was a moment’s silence before another voice called out, this one was familiar to Chrysalis. It was Cadence’s voice.

Ditzy: (Cadance) It’s probably just gas.

        “Maybe the Dragons are getting involved.” she said. Chrysalis began to feel as though the something Twilight mentioned was in fact herself. She moved away from the door and hurried along, changing into Cadence’s form.

Ditzy: She took out a mask with Cadance’s face on it and put it on.

Not a moment too soon, as Spike turned the corner, his eyes gleaming in the darkness. Chrysalis froze, her ears drooped back in fright.

        “Cadence, something wrong? You look like you’ve just run into a ghost.” he said.

Pinkie: (Chrysalis) I’m totally not an imposter here to kill Shining Armor! Er, I mean... Hey Spike!

Chrysalis took note of his voice. How it sounded like that grey Stallion’s.

Doctor: It was squeaky and high pitched.

She chuckled nervously, trying to imitate Cadence’s voice and personality.

Ditzy: (Chrysalis) Yo, how za doing doggyo?

Doctor: (Spike) Oh Celestia, she’s trying to be gangsta again.

        “I thought I had when I saw your eyes glowing. I was just about to go and see my husband.” she said. Spike blinked once and chuckled.

Pinkie: (Spike) I didn’t know you were married.

        “Sorry about that. May I join you? We haven’t had much time to talk since this war started, not to mention my being somewhat dead the past few months.” he said.

Doctor: (Spike) We’ve become distant over the years. I miss the chats we had when I lived in Canterlot.

Chrysalis couldn’t help but widen her eyes at the last notion.

Doctor: (Chrysalis) Oh crap, I don’t know how to keep up a disguise without being a jerk!

If Spike were dead, then how could he have been standing before her?

Doctor: He said somewhat dead.

        “I don’t see why not.” she began, walking beside the tall dragon.

Ditzy: This is going to get really awkward.

It was only a few moments before he struck a conversation with her.

Pinkie: (Spike) So I hear you are into death metal, what are your favorite bands?

        “Cadence… I know you were Twilight’s foalsitter when she was just a filly, but I feel like I should ask you; do you have any problem with her and me… you know.”

Ditzy: Banging each other in front of Shining’s tube?

Chrysalis’ eyes widened again as the topic struck her. It was a topic she never gave much thought about. But now she had to.

Pinkie: She applied brain bleach vigorously.

        “I honestly can’t complain. While I care about… Twilight.

Doctor: (Chrysalis) Phew, almost got her name wrong.

I just want her to be happy.” Chrysalis had trouble just pretending to show concern for the ponies that had ruined her life and reduced her hive to a skeleton of its former self.

Doctor: (Spike) Did you two have a fight? You seem a little hostile towards Twilight.

 “Why do you ask, Spike?”

Pinkie: She almost said “And here I thought that book worm would spend the rest of life as an old maid.”

        The dragon sighed and looked at the alicorn. “I can’t help but feel as though the others aren’t just unhappy with our using dark magic,

Doctor: The fact that I tear out the hearts of Griffons and drink their blood in sacrificial black magic rituals seems to upset them for some reason.

but are in fact against the whole dragon and pony relationship. I just wanted to know what you thought.” he said. Chrysalis felt as though this were the perfect opportunity to perhaps wound her enemy’s emotions.

Doctor: (Chrysalis) Oh that. I shouldn’t think there’s a need to worry. Even though you will most likely be shunned by pony society, her so called friends will abandon her, Ce-Aunty will disown her, and Twilight will probably give birth to half dragon/half pony monstrosities. But all that doesn’t matter, love will always prevail.  

        “Well Spike, if you really want to know…” she stopped, hesitating to do him harm.

Ditzy: (Chrysalis) His groin is right there. One kick and… no. I need to keep up my disguise, tempting as that may be.

“I think… you should ignore what other ponies think and do what you feel is right. Progress isn’t made through submission of peers.

Pinkie: (Chrysalis) It’s all about crushing all that stand in your way and make them rue the day they ever thought of opposing you! Bwahahahaha!

If we bowed to peer pressure, we’d be no better than animals.”

Pinkie: (Chrysalis) In bed on the other hoof.

Doctor: And this is wounding him?

Chrysalis was surprised by her answer. She stopped afterward and considered why she’d given him that answer.

Doctor: (Chrysalis) Who wrote this crap?

        “You’re right, thank you Cadence.” he said.

Ditzy: (Spike) I was expecting less generic advice from the Princess of Love, but it works.

It was then that Chrysalis felt the familiar sensation of love radiating towards her from the dragon.

Pinkie: (Spike) Cadance is kinda hot! After her husband dies, maybe I can convince her to join my herd!

It wasn’t love like she’d fed from Shining, but the love of a friend. It was like eating a single vegetable within a salad to her.

Doctor: But it was a pea, so it was fine with her.

        “Spike, what did you think about the Changelings when they attacked Canterlot?” she asked at random.

Doctor: Subtle.

Pinkie: (Chrysalis) Not that I’m all that interested or anything. Nope! I am in no way asking secretly asking what you think of me. If I was Chrysalis in disguise of course! Which I’m not of course...I’ll shut up now.

 Spike thought about her question and smiled.

Ditzy: (Spike) I thought it was hilarious how she and her lackeys went flying.Twilight told that story at parties for months. We got such a good laugh from it.

        “Well, speaking from an outsider’s point of view… while they fed off of love, they went about taking it the wrong way. A peaceful negotiation would have worked between Chrysalis and Celestia.”

Doctor: Except Chrysalis is a power hungry witch that plays everyone for her own benefit.

Spike growled as he spoke the latter name. His scales darkened slightly and Chrysalis couldn’t help but notice this.

Pinkie: Oh, so he changes colors when he’s happy or angry!

Ditzy: So does he turn other colors when he’s embarrassed or sad?

        “I’ve been thinking about… asking Chrysalis for aid in the war. 

Doctor: (Spike) I haven’t made a phenomenally bad idea in this fic yet!

In exchange we would commit to some sort of peace between the two species.” Spike seemed to entertain the idea in his head.

Doctor: It had ponies and changelings fowlicking together in a field of flowers.

        “That might only work if there was some way we could transfer the love from a pony to a changeling without taking a toll on their bodies. How did they survive before?” he asked.

Ditzy: (Chrysalis) Oh that’s easy. We, er, I mean they just sucked the pony dry and left them for dead. Ponies weren’t united back then so it was easier to prey on them. (Sighs) Good times.

        “Well, rumour has it they used to take over the lives of ponies who were on the verge of death and live out their lives with their loved ones, taking their love and returning it to their queen.”

Doctor: (Chrysalis) Elvis? Totally a changeling.

        “Like bees?”

        “Exactly like bees. Only they’d return to the same flower over and over again and this is beginning to sound weird.” she said. Spike chuckled and opened the door to Shining’s room. There he floated in the tank, the green glow of the liquid inside making him seem like a spectre.

        “He looks dead already.” Chrysalis commented, walking up to him.

Ditzy: He was floating upside down with his belly up.

Spike stood beside her and looked at Shining Armour. “Do you think it’s possible for a pony to love a changeling, Spike?” she asked, turning to the dragon.

Ditzy: According to like a million fanfics, yes.

        Spike shrugged. “Dunno. I know I never could.

Pinkie: Plot Twist! Twilight was really a changeling along!

It’d be too much like when I loved Rarity. The love was one-sided.”

        “You don’t think a changeling can love?”

        “No. Otherwise they could feed off of the love from each other.

Doctor: Or they just can’t feed off of themselves.

Again, it’s one-sided. They need us, but we don’t need them. Of course, with the war, it might be different.” The dragon smiled at the alicorn and stroked her face.

Ditzy: (Chrysalis) And now he’s touching me. Don’t bite him. Don’t bite him.

        “But you don’t need to worry about any of that right now, Princess.

Pinkie: (Spike) Like a changeling could ever infiltrate here!

Focus on Shining and his wellbeing.” Spike said, leaning in to kiss her forehead.

Pinkie: (Chrysalis) Ew, now I have cooties!

Ditzy: This is a Twilight X Spike fic right?

He then abruptly turned and left the room, closing the door behind him. Chrysalis changed her form again and sighed, looking back to Shining Armour.

Pinkie: (Spike) Oh by the way, what toppings would you like? We’re about to order a couple dozen...Sweet Celestia!

        “Hello lover.” she said, chuckling.

Ditzy: (Chrysalis) According to Equestria’s screwed up legal system, I’m the one married to you!

She looked around the room and saw a long piece of metal that had fallen from the old construction of the room. Using her horn, she lifted it with her magic and twisted it into shape.

Pinkie: It was a doggy now!

Doctor: (Spike) Do a pony next!

It was now a long, sharp spear. Without a second’s hesitation, she forced the spear toward the tank. it was then that she felt Spike’s black hand

All: Claw.

catch the spear just short of the glass. His eyes were white hot and he was radiating a dark aura. Chrysalis lost her calm and began to back away aborting her mission.

Ditzy: (Chrysalis) Is there any reason I can’t keep my cool at all in this story?

        “You think I’d leave Shining alone without any security?

Ditzy: (Chrysalis) What security?

Pinkie: (Spike) Well, he’s on break now, but otherwise Shining is completely secure! We even have a security camera!

He is Twilight’s brother and as such, I must do all I can to protect him.” Spike broke the spear in half and threw it to the ground. He then proceeded to close in on the changeling when a strange hand stopped him in his tracks, causing a plume of white smoke to rise on his shoulder. Spike turned around to see a light grey stallion standing like himself with a white dragon skull over his face. The stallion was encased in white flame.

Ditzy: It was painful, but it was a cool effect.

        “Finish the job, Chrysalis!” the stallion commanded,

Doctor: (Stallion) Or you are not getting your tip!

Pinkie: You don’t need to yell!

throwing Spike back behind him. Spike roared in protest as he hit the wall.

Pinkie: (Spike) What a jerk! He could have warned me first!

Chrysalis nodded and proceeded to run at the tank. She picked up a piece of the metal and jammed it into the tank. The glass cracked and the green liquid began to leak through.

All: Not the Kool-Aid!

Twilight and the others crashed through the door as they heard Spike’s roar and they laid eyes upon the scene. Twilight and Cadence both screamed as they saw the tank had been damaged.

Doctor: That bacta tank was on lease!

        “NO!” they cried out together. Spike rose from the hole in the wall and charged the fiery stallion who knocked him to the ground headfirst.

Pinkie: (Spike) Gah! Hey a bit!

        “Stop it!” Twilight cried; her magic radiating through her body as she engulfed herself in dark magic. The stallion looked to her and went to Chrysalis’ side.

Ditzy: (Stallion) Please save me! I’ve seen what happens when she gets angry!

        “Hurry up.” he said. Chrysalis swallowed hard and forced the glass to crack further. Within an instant, a hole appeared, forcing the liquid out in a torrent. Twilight screamed, activating Spike’s reaction like last time. The stallion watched as the dragon flooded himself in darkness and emerged a monster wrapped in a physical manifestation of darkness itself.

Pinkie: So he’s in super duper triple blacky darker than black darkness now?

        “Kepla'nas ekess loreat! (Prepare to die!)” he said, challenging the stallion in the draconic language.

Doctor: (Snorts) You left the oven on.

        “Si mi Marfedelom. (I am Death.)” he replied with the same tongue.

Doctor: I am your waiter today. Would you like to hear the special?

The skull on his head began to open and a ball of black energy formed between the teeth. It grew in size and drew in the energy of the room around it.

Pinkie: Oh come on! I was watching a video on Ponytube!

        “Don't interfere.” the stallion said. He threw his body forward before the recoil of the blast forced him back. The ball arced outward and destroyed all in its path.

Pinkie: Hey! We just fixed that wall!

The sound it made was unique and unlike anything the ponies or the changeling had ever heard before.

Doctor: It sounded like a dog trying to sing Hey Jude.

It was deafening and terrifying all at once and Spike was caught in the middle of it. He could feel his body being burned by its awesome power and he cried out for Twilight, believing he was going to die once again, and this time, there was no way back to her.

Pinkie: Not true! Nopony has revived you with the Dragon Balls yet!

        Suddenly, the energy dissipated, turning into nothing more than a streak of light before vanishing altogether. The ponies all stood where they were, most too scared to challenge whatever could make that giant hole in the castle.

Ditzy: (Rarity) And it left a huge hole in one the castle’s fabulous curtains. That brute!

Spike stood where he was, unconscious and reverted back to normal. Twilight was looking at the dragon, horrified that he might be dead. She ran to him as he fell forward, a groan escaping his lungs as he did.

Ditzy: (Spike) Gah, smashed a rock into my you know.

The stallion took no notice of them afterwards and returned to the now dying Shining Armour.

        “Leave him alone!” Cadence called out to the two. Chrysalis left the Captain to her comrade and turned to Cadence.

        “I suppose this is like revenge for me.” she said, preparing to attack should Cadence interfere with the grey stallion’s plans. Unfortunately, Cadence did try and Chrysalis had no choice but to force her down.

        “Shining Armour was supposed to die on the battlefield, but your interference altered the course of time. I’m simply here to correct it.” the stallion said, turning his head.

Doctor: Hmm. I don’t exactly see how.

Ditzy: Yeah, it isn’t like he interfered with history or anything,

His eye sockets flashed amber.

        “You’re Mar Grimm, the Angel of Death.” Twilight addressed the stallion.

All: (Laugh)

Doctor: Don’t you mean Azrael?

Mar turned his head back to Twilight and seemingly blinked at her.

        “Yes. As I told your companion, I am Death.” Mar reached his hand through the glass and touched Shining Armour’s chest.

Ditzy: Shouldn’t you be a skeleton?

The white Stallion lurched forward and his spirit was pulled out of his body. Cadence began to squirm under the Changeling Queen who had difficulty containing her.

Doctor: Cadance did a reversal and put the Changeling into a headlock.

        “Stop it! Why can’t you let him live?” Cadence demanded.

Pinkie: Shining wants to move on and do movies now.

        “As I said, he was meant to die on the battlefield.

Ditzy: Um, I don’t really understand this. Ponies’ deaths are prevented all the time. What makes this one so different?

Doctor: And why do you care? So what if Shining won’t die for a few more years? You have all eternity to wait.Time means nothing to you.

Pinkie: Maybe he collects enough 10,000 souls he gets a new iPony?

Even I have rules I must follow; were I to break them, chaos would ensue,

Doctor: Dogs and cats living together etc,etc.

the likes of which your kind couldn’t fathom.

Pinkie: It contains storm clouds that rain.... lemon juice!

In order to protect you and your race,

Pinkie: He’s not such a bad pony after all!

Ditzy: That you for saving us from Shining Armor.

I must follow the rules set me.”

Doctor: And what about Spike coming back from the dead? Shouldn’t that be against the rules?

Mar then placed his finger on Shining Armour’s ectoplasmic head and threw it down, drawing a line across his body. The spirit then began to glow and in a bright flash of light, he was gone. Cadence stopped struggling and stared at the lifeless body of her husband.

Doctor: Looks like story has fit its dead sibling quota.

        “What happened, where is he?” Twilight asked, grabbing the angel by his leg. Mar looked down at her, his eyes still glowing.

        “Where every soul goes after they die. Home.” he replied,

Ditzy: (Mar) He’s probably going to Hades. He pirated a lot of movies.

turning to Chrysalis. “Your work is done, Chrysalis.”

        The changeling released Cadence and turned to the angel. “Don’t forget our deal. I help you fix your mistake and you help my hive survive.” she replied. Mar reared his head back slightly, his eyes going dark as well as his mask.

        “I’d choose my description of Shining Armour’s survival of the battlefield more carefully if I were you, Chrysalis.

Pinkie: (Takes out a thesaurus and clears throat) You made an oversight, a blunder, a snafu, a misstep, a fault, a blooper, a boo boo, an error, a slip, a goof, a miscalculation, a gaffe, a fubar, a flub, a screw up, or buggered up?

I don’t make mistakes. 

Pinkie: Suurrreeee!

If the opportunity to do my job slips by the first time, that’s fine,

Pinkie: (Mar) I can’t take this soul. I’m on coffee break!

so long as it’s fixed in the end, like now.”

Ditzy: So you make plenty of mistakes! You’re just good at covering them up!

Chrysalis cleared her throat and nodded. She was not about to cross death himself.

Ditzy: Right, he throws a little hissy fit if you make fun of him.

        “Sorry.” she said.

        “Wait. You’re the Angel of Death, and you promised to give Chrysalis what they needed to survive? They need love to survive, how can you give them love?” Twilight asked, fixing Spike’s position on her back.

Doctor: (Mar) What, can’t you tell I’m a warm and loving person?

        “Soul Emotion Conversion. Any emotion the pony felt is converted into love and sent to the changelings.” he replied.

Pinkie: With 20% less fat!

Twilight seemed to go through the process in her head.

Doctor: Oh, so he can convert his lack of personality to love.

        “But… wouldn’t that drain ponies of their emotions?” she asked. Mar shook his head.

Ditzy: (Mar) What makes you think I have them?

        “No. I should explain that the emotions are actually copied, then converted.” he concluded.

Pinkie: I prefer my love in .xml format!

Without waiting for another question, he grabbed Chrysalis by the neck and pulled her closer to him.

        “We’ll see you again, Elements of Harmony.” and with a burst of sound,

Pinkie: It sounded like a pony passing wind!

Doctor: Really.

Pinkie: Come on. It was funny!

the changeling and the angel disappeared out of nowhere,

Pinkie: (Gasps) They’re gone! Oh wait, they were just hiding behind that shelf over there.

leaving all the ponies speechless,

Doctor: That was rude. They could have at least stayed for tea.

surrounding an unconscious dragon and a dead Guard Captain.

Pinkie: (Pinkie) What a day! Cupcakes?

Author's Note:

Okay, so I'm in the story, lol.

Ditzy: I bucking knew it!

Pinkie: Language Ditzy! Foals are present!

Ditzy: T-they are?

I was surprised that I hadn't jumped the sequence around a bit, usually I disjoin the time sequence and throw the story through different perspectives.

Pinkie: Like what was Tom doing the battle?

But I'm proud of how this turned out. So, we have a war between ponies and Gryphons, Celestia's student is using the darkest of magics,

Ditzy: Not really. She hasn’t done any equine sacrifices yet, or made any deals with demons.

her brother's now dead and the Changelings have the Angel of Death literally watching over them while their queen is contemplating making amends with the Equestrians. This is going to be fun.

Doctor: For you maybe.

Pinkie: It will be fun! In a bad trainwrecky way!
