//------------------------------// // Chapter 7 // Story: Hide and Zeke // by Cruz Oscar //------------------------------// ..........'save me' "Wha-Owww! Cramp's!" Zeke regretted waking up, for one he had the most bizarre dream, and second the slightest movement caused pain in every pore of his body. "Well at least the bed is comfy.....comfy?" with a lot of trouble Zeke moved his head to look around, only to be met with a familiar ceiling "....It wasn't a dream?" Zeke could now hear that sound again, the sound of the Tardis. Zeke gave up on standing and proceed to question the Doctor once his body stopped aching. Or tried to. "Rise and shine!" only words of warning the Doctor gave Zeke as he blasted his ears with a pocket horn. Which resulted in Zeke jumping to the roof like a scared cat "DOCTOR!" landing on the floor Zeke noticed that the pain was gone "Now thats better, wouldn't want you to miss all the fun!" running out of the room the Doctor left Zeke no option than to fallow him out. "Hey Doctor! What happened? The city, what happened-...to...whoa" walking outside the doors of the Tardis was a scenery he never would have believed, a Crystal Empire, gone were the bone like buildings replaced by towers of sparkling diamonds of all kinds. The tortured ponies, now smiling living their lives free as if what happened to them was a thing of the past. At the center no longer was there a skull shaped deformed light house, but a tall proper Castle reaching to the sky, reflecting sunlight and glimmering with abundances of life. Life, thats the best way for him to explain it. "This..where?" for a moment I thought maybe this was another city entirely. This just contd had been the same city as before. "The city absorbed and copied the Artron energy that got trapped inside of you, using the defense system to create a shield around the city instantly launched us into the future, 1000 years or so according to the my readings. Oh and to make it even better after the city was disconnected from Sombra the setting on the city returned to normal! Well normal meaning after he almost blew it up". This was...was there really a word to describe this? "We saved them?" relief, amazing, fantastic; is this is how it is with him? Traveling to worlds and time in trouble and just fixing it just like this? '...save me' ...Is this the mission the Princess wanted him to be on? To fallow this alien to save somepony? If it is, its certainly worth it if it can affect so many lives. At that the Doctor smacked him on the back of his head "You did Zeke boy! Ha! Oh I just love days like these, sorry for the ride but at least we know that hair grows back!" that got him out of his paralysis. "Wait. What? What hair?" "Well you still had the bandanna on, and well the system was very hasty in extracting" "?! Please don't tell me!" "Not to worry! By the time we drop you back nopony will ever noticed that you burned of your hair!" "WHAT?!?!" feeling naked Zeke made a mad dash back to the room the Doctor had him in. "Its not permanent! ...." The Doctor happy mood soured as he turned to look back at the city, as he remembered the trip he performed while Zeke was recovering. Canterlot year 1002 CE Celestia had wished her sister a goodnight as she returned to her quarters to enter her own rest cycle. Upon entering her room she slowly closed the door as the Tardis materialized inside. The Sun Goddess waited for the Time Lord to made his presence known, and when he did he was not pleased "No mail, no warning, not even a hello and suddenly this!" sitting next to her bed the Doctor glared at Celestia as she slowly lay down to rest "What in the world possessed you two in thinking that I would take anyone you girls throw at me?". Celestia opened her eyes and looked at the Doctor sternly "Oh princess not the look!....FINE! Just for now, because he is a good bloke...but I must know....look at me Celestia....I must know if you want him to continue like this?" Celestia looked at her fire place as her mind drifted to memories long past "Tia you know the others come with me by choice, I do not make them. Heck you and Luna should know this more than anypony!" not hearing a response from Celestia the Doctor moved to leave into his Tardis. "...my wish...is that he fulfill his promise" the Doctor turned to look at her. "What promise?" Celestia moved her head down on her bed. "And what I hope, is for you to save him, old friend". Present Tardis time Slightly disturbed to hear Celestia keeping secrets, the Doctor decided to face that problem when he got to it, for now he needs to help a traumatized royal guard grow his hair back. "Still in one piece Zeke?" "I looked like I have SUNBURN!" "HA! Not to worry! I got the place they treat bad hair day cases like your's!" "Really? Where?!" "You really want to come?" "Hey! First for the hair...and then well talk about traveling the universe!" Zeke might have his duties back at the castle, but who really would want to miss an opportunity like this! Maybe during his free days, oh the possibilities were endless! "Okay then, lets see what the universe has in store for you! Onwards and Upwards!" To be Continued Trailer: "Me!? Why do I need to dance!?" "Because she already seen me here before" "Doctor? Why am I strapped to a chair with a crazy looking unicorn over me?" "YOU SHALL ME MY MASTERPIECE!!"
