Luna's Chambers

3rd POV

Ed was laying down in on the bed waiting for Luna to return form raising the moon. He was completely exhausted from having told them the events of the past few days. Although he was tired he was also extremely happy to be with his family again. Then, he began to think back to the discussion earlier. About how there may be others out there in this world that were forced to come here. Ed began to think who else would be able or even willing to help him.

Who, he thought again. This word, in particular, caused him to remember to back when he was first getting into to the MLP franchise. Mainly, because there was a pony on the show named Time Turner that was based off a character of another hit show called Doctor Who. Doctor Who was about a time traveler that went by the name the Doctor has traveled through space and time doing various things and helping others that needed it. Time Turner was the Ponyville doctor and along with having other similarities between the two, this caused the fans to dubbed him Doctor Whooves,

“If anybody can help me iron out some more of the details and possibly help find others like me it would be him,” Ed said thinking aloud as usual.

Luna was on her way back to her room when she came across Celestia.

“O sister, we weren't expecting you. Is everything alright?” Luna asked slightly startled.

“Not exactly Luna. I'm worried about Ed. I think he might blame himself for what happened all those years ago.” Celestia says looking over to Luna.

“I also think he blames himself for the events of Nightmare Moon. I also think he might resent me for banishing you to the moon.” Celestia said now looking down at the floor.

“Why would he resent you for doing what needed to be done for our ponies' safety? That was our fault it had nothing to do with him.” Luna said with a faint crackle in her voice.

“I think it has to do with him having seen every thing play out before him and not be able to be there for you in your time of need. It's not just Nightmare though, but everything that he couldn't help be there for.” Celestia said walking over to Luna.

“It's not fair. All he wanted was to help, not just ponies, but all the creatures of this world even the ones who hated ponies.” Luna yelled in anger.

“And I still do want to help this world, but I couldn't do that in the past due to the times we lived. Now that society has advanced more I plan on setting my wheels into motion, but this is just a start. I do plan to start hunting down the one who turned on me. Normally, I just assumed them to have died of old age, but when I was betrayed they stole many things from my workshop. I think it would be in our best interest to assume the continued my work, but may have also attempted to make a true Philosopher's Stone.” Ed said as he walked out of the shadows while gritting his teeth in anger.

“Ed how long have been there?” Celestia spoke in shock.

“I came to meet up with Luna to see if she wanted to go the gardens for a bit to talk about a few things. So I start to come this way when I saw you walking and decided to catch-up, but before I got down here I heard you and Tia how talking about being worried about me. Then, I decide to hang back a bit to listen.” Ed said walking past the sisters to the nearest window.

“Ed we're sorry. We should've come an-,” Luna started to speak, tears in her eyes, but was interrupted by her husband embrace.

“Tia was right. I do hate myself for not being there when I should've. I saw everything happen and couldn't do any thing about it. It hurt seeing you two fight each, see you give into your darkness, and yes even when you were sent to the moon. It almost broke me for a second time. But you know the best part, even though you were banished, I still got to see you every night.” Ed said as he kissed her.

“For the record Tia, I don't blame you in the slightest. You did what you had to in order to keep Equestria and Luna safe. So, thank you.” Ed said looking back to Celestia.

She quickly dashed to her family and embraced both of them, and knocked them over in the process.

“What is it with you two and knocking me over?!” Ed shouted and they all proceed to laugh on into the night.

*****

The sun starts to rise over the horizon as Celestia stood upon her balcony with her horn let with golden magic as a short figure watched from the doorway. It had been quite some time since Ed hadn't seen a true sun rise in years due to the bushes that made up the maze in the gardens had grown to the point they would block his view when he was trapped. He had Luna wake him up when it was time for her to lower the moon so he would miss Celestia's raise the sun. This was one of the things the alchemist missed the most the changing of night and day and vice verse. When they all lived in Everfree he would often stand with the sisters as they rotated the sun and moon. After the task was finished the trio went to the dining hall to have a quaint family meal. It was also at this time the Ed decide to discuss his plans to go to Ponyville to visit Time Turner about his theory and future plans to begin manufacturing automail for the various of Equestria.

While it took some convincing, Ed was able to get the sisters' permission to lay the ground work for a trail run automail clinic in Ponyville. He didn't want to waste any more time, so right after breakfast was over he asks Celestia if she would have a guard show him the way down to the train station. After everypony had finished their meals Ed walked Luna back to her room as they discussed his plans while he was away. As Ponyville was on the edge of the Everfree Forest Ed wanted to go to the old castle's workshop and his old home to see if any of his things had survived of the last 2000 years. As they got to Luna's room Ed kissed her goodbye for now, while she would come and see him in a couple days. Celestia saw Ed to the train station personally and Ed told her about his plan to go to the library to see if anything relating to his research or the Philosopher's Stone had surfaced through history in other places. Luckily, he already knew the librarian.

Ponyville

The train ride to Ponyville went by quickly for the alchemist, but it was quite as well. Which in turn allowed him to relax and gather his thoughts so he could focus on the tasks ahead of him. After he got off the first thing he wanted to do was avoid Pinkie Pie as long as possible. Know it was inevitable that he'd get a party at some point, but Ed wanted to keep a low profile for as long as possible. With that in mind, he'd already stashed his red coat in his backpack.

“I already know what the mane 6's buildings look but I have no damn clue how to get to any of them. Maybe I should just let Pinkie find me that way I'll at least know the pony who can show me around?” Ed said softly while looking to see any familiar land marks.

After a few hours, Ed found, that he was hopelessly lost. So he decided to get some food from one of the nearby stands for lunch. Luckily Ed had managed to find the park earlier while wondering around. He then decided to go to the nearest bench in the park, have a seat and eat his lunch while he tried to figure out where the hell the damn doctor was. After he finished his lunch Ed got up and threw away his trash and as he did Ed saw an earth pony in a brown suit, blue button-down shirt, red bow tie, and a fez sitting on a picnic blanket right across the field in front of him.

“Now if that's not the pony I'm looking for, then I'm an even bigger idiot than a drunken bugbear?” muttered Ed aloud.

Not long after getting over his stupor Ed decided that it this was his best chance to talk with Time Turner. He started to walk over to to the doctor and as he did Ed noticed that he was sitting next to a blonde pegasus mare with wall eyes. While next to them was a young blonde unicorn filly chasing after butterflies in the field in front of them. Ed seriously needed to speak with this pony for the future of his plans hinged on this the answer, or answers, that he would give him. He decided to go head and walk over and try to be as subtle as possible. He reached the family and began to speak.

“Excuse me but you wouldn't happen to be the Hooves family would you?” asked Ed.

“Why, yes we are.” answered the blonde mare.

“My name's Derpy. This is Time Turner and that's our daughter Dinky.” Derpy continued.

“It's nice to meet all of you, my name's Edward Elric.” Ed bringing his hand up to his to his chest while introducing himself.

“I'm very sorry to interrupt your picnic, but I have some business with you, Doctor Whooves.” Ed continued purposely accentuating on the Doctor's name.

The doctor then proceeded to look the up and down the alchemist. The pony stared at Ed for a few minutes then walked over to the alchemist and spoke.

“Just Doctor please, and I was wondering how long it would take you to find me, Mr. Elric?" said Time Turner.

“Just call me Ed, and sorry but I was kinda trapped in stone for 2,000 years. Also, judging from the way your speaking to me you already know one of the reasons why I came to speak with you about.” Ed stated with a serious tone.

“Yes, I do, and I can confirm that you are indeed among others that are referred to as Dimensionally Misplaced, or Displaced, as their community tends to refer to themselves.” Time Turner explained.

“Have you ever met any of the other Displaced?” asked Ed.

“While I was traveling to other versions of reality, yes, but we time ponies try not get involved with the Displaced that aren't of our home reality. As you already know when a Displaced comes to a version of Equestria it's after receiving some sort of strange item they've found, received, or bought from some odd stranger. While they're transported they're usually given a new form. abilities, and the means and knowledge to use their new bodies. What they choose to do once they're there is up to them.” Time Turner continued.

“Can you get communicate with the other Displaced?” Ed asked gesturing with his hand.

“Regular communication between the Displaced is extremely rare unless they've received a certain item from another Displaced that allows them to do so. That being said some of the Displaced have set up their tokens so they can stay in touch with those that have received them.” Timer Turner slightly shaking his head.

“You just mentioned something called tokens. What exactly are they and what're they used for?" Ed asked with a confused look.

“Tokens are specific items that Displaced make themselves. They are used to summon them to another Displaced world. All you've got do is select which item you want to represent yourself and create a specific saying for it. Then a portal to void will appear and you simply toss the token and wait for someone to call for you. When you're summoned you'll be pulled into a portal and sent to whoever used token. After you finish whatever business you have they simply say 'you're done' and another portal appears to take you home.” Time Turner finished while reaching into his jacket.

“This is a token I found a few weeks ago, but I said before my kind prefer to leave other Displaced be if we can help it.” he said handing me what looked like Adam Taurus's mask from RWBY.

All of sudden a jolt of energy was sent through Ed's body and out of nowhere he heard a voice.

I am the sword of equality and fighter for the weak. If you find yourself cornered and too weak to fight, call on me and I will be there to protect you.

After getting over the strange reaction Ed proceeded to hand the mask back to Time Turner. Who insisted he keep it should he need it for a later date.

“Well, guess I better my mine then,” Ed said proceeding to pull out the silver pocket watch with the symbol of the state alchemist on it.

Ed began to think of the saying he'd just heard and proceeded to think of his own.

I am the one who constructs and deconstructs, the partner and protector of the moon, I aid the Innocent and protect the children, If you require aid, Call my name and I will come forth, The Crimson Sage.

A portal then appeared beside the two of them and Ed tossed the watch into it. It was then promptly replaced with one exactly like it appearing in his hand.

“Well, now that I got that out of the way. Doctor, on to the next matter of business I have. I would like to start up an automail shop based here in Ponyville, and your the only other pony that I can think of that has the skills needed at this time. So what do you say?” Ed stated extending his hand.

“I would love to help you. Let us return to my home and hash out the details over some tea if you don't mind,” said Time Turner.

“After you my good sir. See as how I just lead off a cliff.” Ed said with a slight chuckle.

With this statement, they proceeded to the home of the Whooves.
