Turned out much longer than my last one's chapters, and I'm glad it's so!  I'm so much happier with this than I was Chapter 1 of First and Last.  Also dropped the 2-word names for chapters.  That was gonna get really old really quick.  Anyway, enjoy!  

Oh yeah, and this story is gonna be a lot longer.  I'm thinking at least twice as long as First and Last, if not longer.  There's a lot more to do and a lot more to set up.

Hooray! Sequel! Tracking in the hopes it's even better than the last one, which it looks like. But please tell me it's not going to turn out that Twilight took the throne, because that is the most played out setup in Doctor Whooves stories I've ever seen.

>>887462887462

The thought hadn't even crossed my mind.

No, seriously.  It didn't.  Like, not even for an instant.  Who would DO that?    I hate it when people do things with characters because "Oh, it'd be funny to see."  I have a much better and much more fitting account of what happened that makes a lot more sense.

*lolSpoilersjk*

And THAT of course is that Big Mac took the throne!  Mwa ha ha!  

...But not really.  

>>887485887485

Well, to be honest, only a few fics I've seen have that. It's just that that's the most common recurring plot I've seen– Twilight kills the princesses or siezes power in some other way and turns into a horrible tyrant.

>>887549887549

Sounds like a lot of people on this site.  Just doesn't fit for me.  I promise to keep it a little more in character than that.

>>887577887577

Thank you for that.

Holy Coke, are you sure you're not Sydney Newman in disguise?

>>887673887673

I've always kind of wondered, but I don't remember TV being in black and white.  Then again, that could be that pesky whatchamacallit.  Alzheimer's.

>>887485887485 Didn't Squeak do that?

WOAH, trippy. God you do this so well.

>>897225897225

I think I'll need a blog post about the topic =P

>>897522897522

Danke!  I like how it turned out, too.  WAY better than the last one.  

how did the doctor know they were in Canterlot???

>>898431898431

Sorry, the thing I meant to put at the tail end of this chapter is going to be in the very beginning of the next one.  I don't want to add it here now because the people who have already read it would be confused.  It'll all make sense very soon, I promise.

Well, next week, but you know.

Just finished reading the story before this and now i finished this chapter.. gotta say it's looking amazing! i wasn't exactly expecting an "inception" joke or the "Yo dawg i heard you like _______" thing, but i liked it! Is funny to me.

MOAR!!! BEFORE I EXPLODE!

>>899020899020

Sorry, last time I updated way too quickly, and that didn't turn out well.  This time around I'm caring for these stories like I'm incubating an egg.  Patience, hard work, and a lot of edits and rereading.

...Wait...

I lost track of that metaphor somewhere along the lines...

Well, folks, the next chapter is coming along well, but it's looking really serious.  Probably the fewest chuckles you'll get for a while.  Though, considering the circumstances, I don't think too many laughs are called for...

Hope I don't go too overboard with the seriousness and emotional stuff.  Though it might be good to get it out of the way...

OH MEH GOODNESS THIS LOOKS GOOD. BRB, GOTTAH READ.

Edit: That wasn't good like I'd predicted. It was wondrous. C:

>>899109899109

<3 you too, Ty.

Arg!  I refuse to fall to chapter-2-itis this time!

For those of you who can't figure it out, chapter-2-itis is a side effect of the submission and approval system.  I'VE had this chapter up for 3 days.  8 people read it 2 days ago.  I took the time I had after I finished this chapter to write chapter 2, which means I'm actually done writing it.  However, it's only been half a day since this post went fully up.  There's no waiting!  There's no anticipation!  (Well, there might be.)  Basically, chapter-2-itis refers to the second chapter coming out WAY too soon after the first, due to the lag in submission, approval, and posting.  Best medication is rereading and heavy editing of said second chapter.

.......Still probably gonna post it tonight...

Must...not...click...publish.  Must...wait...until...tension has...built...

*Click*

...Damn!

this is pretty funny, but also serious. It's just like real-life accept more funny!!!

I exploded anyways. Amazing chapter.

Holy crap, you got the Doctor's memories much better than anybody from the show could. He has experienced so much hatred, so much anger, and so much pain that it is a wonder that he is so cheerful. The feeling you created of war and fear and panic was just perfect for the Time War.

BAM!!! Instant memory transfer.

Who else misses Craig and Sophie. Sophie didn't near enough screen time in Closing Time.

>>901839901839

It wasn't necessarily the Time War.  He wouldn't just show that like that.  He's very secretive, it's why we don't ever see anything from it besides Gallifrey at that one point.  More likely it was just an amalgamation of the worst of the Daleks.  When they took over Earth, for example, in the first season.  Or when they stole the planets and made the Reality Bomb.  The Doctor has had many, many tussles with the Daleks.  He's seen more than enough death and destruction to get his point across without bringing the Time War into it hardly at all.  There may have been glimpses, but certainly not the entire thing.

On a side note, as I reread Chapter 2 I'm debating putting a 'sad' tag on this story...I mean....geez.  I think I might have gone a bit darker and more serious than I had originally intended...

>>903743903743 It's not that dark. And Daleks are capable of feeling emotions when the logic pervades it, as seen in the episode "Dalek", of course, this causes them to commit suicide. However, Daleks are inhuman killing machines that are very smart, very dangerous, and very very unpredictable. I love them a lot!

>>904155904155

Trust me, I know more about Daleks than most people look up.  The Dalek in "Dalek" didn't feel emotion because of logic, it felt emotion because the DNA it used to reconstitute itself and reactivate was Rose's, so it became just a little bit human.  The only other Dalek to ever use or really feel emotion was Dalek Sec, who was bonded with a human in an attempt to create a more perfect Dalek.  The human emotion he felt cause the other Daleks to revolt and kill him.

So no, Daleks don't do emotion.

In story related news, I've decided that I'm updating sometime between tonight and tomorrow morning.  (It's 11:41 as I post this, I'm on -5:00, Eastern Standard time).  I'm feeling write-y, so I'm gonna finish the chapter and reread it, then post it here, then reread it again, then submit it.  We're still being emotional, people.  Action is coming soon though, I promise.

>>915310915310 Have you even seen the season three songs?

>>915310915310

And apparently by that I meant "I'm gonna go pass out and finish my chapter tomorrow."  Slight delay folks.  Still chugging through.

Alright, all posted.  I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter.  I had some problems writing it, but I think it came out overall ok...

Good chapter, looking forwards to the next one.

You know what my Doctor doesn't have?  A catch phrase.  Everyone else has one.  Tennant had "Allons-y", Smith had "Geronimo", thankfully replaced with "Trust Me, I'm the Doctor," Adventures has "Onwards and Upwards," Assistant has "Fancy That," And my Doctor's stuck with "Stop calling me DOC!"

Hm...I shall ponder over this for a good, long time...

Sontar-HA!

Did I figure it out? Do I get a fish finger with custard?

>>921029921029

Image: http://junkuchan.org/a/src/131769676239.jpg

I don't think Sontarans would be stopped by the sun alone, and they might consider it cowardly to only strike by night.

>>921078921078

Unless they have some sort of plan. Y'know, like in Poison Sky? They didn't openly attack, they plotted.

>>921099921099 True, but they were preparing to turn Earth into a cloning planet.  Even then, why only come out at night?  What's stopping an advanced alien race from attacking Equestria day and night?

>>921110921110 Only time will tell,  dot dot dot.

I'm probably wrong.

Actually, I am indoubitalby wrong.

>>921029921029: I doubt it. Santaarans really don't care when they attack. My guess is advanced Vashta Nerada (although my first thought was Minecraft, funnily enough, even though I don't play the game).

Impressively written once again! I could practically visualize this because you did such a good job of description and atmosphere. Keep up the good work!

>>921110921110>>921165921165>>921288921288

You're all missing the most blatantly obvious reason why it's not the Sontarans.

"The pair of ponies could feel hot breath washing across their faces."

And the Vashta Nerada live everywhere, but they're in abundance in the shadows.  They don't cease to exist in the light, they just don't like it.  It also wouldn't stop them, since shade still exists.

Anyway, trust me.  You're not going to guess what this is.  I'm pretty sure it's actually impossible.

>>921327921327 ...so?  Are Sontarans cold blooded or something?

>>921373921373 I don't know if they actually breath. I'm not quite sure.

Also, I'm guessing that you made up this one.

In case your not...

I'll just rat off the names of every Doctor Who alien/villain I know

Silurian? Vespiform? Giant maggots? Axons? Zygons? Racnoss? Pyroviless? Saturnynians? Carrionites? Gelth? Repair droids? Lupine wavelength haemovariform?  Service robot mummies? The family of blood? Weeping Angels? Gas mask zombies? The wire? Sea devils? Nestene? Cybermen? Giant Spiders? Martians/Ice warriors? K-1? Primords? Real, living dinosaurs? Reapers? Raxicoricofallapatorians? Sycorax? Roboforms? Krillitines? The Clom-thing? Hoix? Plasmavores? Judoon(sko ko mo tro)? Red hatching? Toclafane? Max? Adipose(the most adorable thing ever!)? Isolus? The midnight thing?

Tell me when I got it.

>>921373921373  >>921425921425

Helmets.

Also, no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no and no.

They don't always wear helmets, y'know.

And dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, and dang.

>>921663921663

In battle, they're rarely seen sans helmet.  They would have been marching to war.  Plus, the voice doesn't match.  This one is raspy and breathy, Sontarans are bold and loud.

>>921327921327: Good point about the Vashta Nerada. Whatever infected Luna during the Nightmare Moon incident is too obvious. Not really Discord's or Crysalis's style. Must be either an OC alien, a Mythology gag from previous ponies, or something from before the DW revamp, then. Whichever it is, odds are I won't successfully guess it.

>>921717921717  Raspy and breathy?  A new form of The Silence, perhaps?

>>921941921941 If by "Mythology" you mean the likes of Tirek and The Smooze, then possibly.

People are speculating about my story!  I love it!

>>921941921941

Oh god I'm embarrassed at myself.  The Vashta Nerada don't hate the light, and they don't live in shadows.  Their presence causes the shadows.  It was because they were so numerous that they wound up making a visible, large shadow.  I need to retake my Whovian tests...

>>922284922284: Yep, that's who I mean. Seeing as those two are the only ones I know, though, the odds of me being able to guess them are miniscule at best.

>>922608922608: Nonetheless, daylight wouldn't stop them, so the point was right even if the base facts weren't.

>>922608922608 Light might not stop them, but it does hold them back for a bit.

>>919640919640 And don't call me Shirley

>>922608922608 QUICK! NAME THIS NEW SPECIES!

Whatever they are, they're dangerous, and not nice.

And that cliff hanger isn't nice either.

I love doctor who. I like fanfiction. I'm a brony. I've read many Doctor Whooves fiction. I like your story. I wish to read more soon! PLZ UPD8 SOON!

>>954151954151 The almighty Kodan shall update when the almighty Kodan permits it.

>>954798954798>>954151954151

The almighty Kodan shall update when the almighty Kodan isn't dragging a 60 pound desk into his apartment by himself.  It's not heavy, it's just big ><...

Next chapter is well underway, but I'm at a point where I can do one of two things.  Haven't chosen yet.  This one might take a bit, but whichever way I go it'll be worth the wait.  

>>955050955050 why do I think of the friends episode where they have to lug a sofa up a flight of apartment stairs?

Well in terms of a Doctor Whooves fic, both this and the first do in deed stay true to the feel of an actual doctor who episode. I applaud and look forward to more of your writing.

>>919640919640

For the question of a catchphrase, might I suggest something like 'I know nothing!' or something equally as bad if not better?

Endermen?

Hoo!  That one took waaaay too long!  Sorry, guys!

We're coming to a head, and the danger is ramping up.  But The Doctor isn't one to back down from a tough situation, and neither is Rainbow Dash.  These beasties are messing with two of the most stubborn things in the universe.  It's the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object(s)!  And what does The Doctor do when he sees an unstoppable force?

Well, why don't we ask the Daleks, eh?

In this room, we could see from the outside.  There are no windows whatsoever.”

i think you meant couldn't

other than that awesome chapter

uh-oh!

>>10219141021914

I meant that they could see from the outside that there were no windows, but you're right, it was unclear.  Fixed it   Thanks!

>>10219221021922

Uh Oh is right, the story got its first downthumb .  Though I wish they would say why...I really wanna know .

>>10219391021939 You scared me! I almost thought I down-thumbed it by accident.

OMG I AM SO FREKIN HAPPY I DIDN'T READ THIS-cough- sorry caps lock was on. As I was saying. I'm so freggin happy I didn't read this until chapter four was ready <3

>>10219471021947  Cheater.  A ton of other people had to sit through the cliffhanger.  

That was brilliant!

Doctor, you're brilliant! Whatever these "Others" are, they aren't gonna know what hit 'em! Oh wait, they will, 'cause it'll be Rainbow.

I have to say, though, Luna's much less fun when she's angry. Her rage is understandable and done well, but she's not as entertaining as normal. Ah, dang it, I sound like Discord!

This Doctor, he is brilliant! Genius! And if the Daleks were to appear, oh how pissed he would be...

>>10216921021692 glad to see that you took my advice and made your own species out of the Vashta Nerada.

>>10273091027309

What are you talking about?  They're nothing like the Vashta Nerada o.O...How did you get Vashta Nerada out of them?

>>10273691027369 a while ago you were like," what was I thinking?! The vashta nerada were nothing like that!" when talking about how inaccurate your fic was compared to the show. Then I was like," you should just make them their own species then"

>>10327341032734

The intention to compare them to the Vashta Nerada was never there, though.  I was talking about my previous comment trying to explain them.  The Other were always going to be an original species.  The comparisons came after I'd thought them out.

>>10225651022565 If I had a nickel for ever time I saw that picture.

I guess I could buy a candy bar.

Huh...you know what you REALLY don't want to do?  Make a hypercharged Luna angry. I'm the author, and I'M having trouble holding her back...

>>10329641032964 Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh! I get it now.

Eh, screw it...Print it!

This pretty much wraps us up, but as I work on the next episode, there may be something else coming.

I do believe that this was a very good chapter. I really enjoy the interactions, and the relations to the show. I especially enjoy the relations between the Doctor and Dash, especially the mutually disapproved nicknames. Very well done.

She smiled.  “Keep in in line, will you?”

him in* I believe is what you're looking for.

On another note: brilliant! Love it.

>>10365581036558 pretty good, now I have to wait for the next episode. *sigh* O well, odds are it will be so much better than this one. I'm expecting big things Kodan, so far you have done an excellent job in the interactions between the Doctor and Rainbow. I wonder how it will be evolving from there.

Well, The Doctor does have one particular thing in mind that he's been missing since his memories returned.

He stayed in the 20th century with his granddaughter for a certain amount of years.

And it drove him bonkers.

lul, wonderful <3

Sorry, Doctor. I like it when everyone lives, too.

Another good chapter here as well! We never did figure out what the Others are, but that's okay, you've hinted we'll see them again. I only wish I could have seen Luna's entrance. It would have been all the more impressive in person.

>>10402011040201

I've more than hinted.  They'll be back, no question.  Time travel, man.  And yeah, I had to give Luna a big spectacle, or I'd never have been able to write her just standing idly by...

Anyone notice there's no Luna emoticons over there?

>>10402161040216: Yeah, I've noticed. No Discord ones, either. We need some.

Just when you thought it was over, I toss somethin' else at 'cha =D

Whaaaat! Oh, this should be brilliant.

Oh man. Shits going down son. Let's see, questions, questions, how about, is that another timelord, or Captain Jack Harkness? Ooh, this is fun, hehe. Umm, let's gather facts, Gallifreyan knowledge on the art and style of Tardis time travel, partners with a computer console that has a secret agenda, and a unicorn, those crafty buggers. Well, pump out that story Kodan, it's going to be a hell of an adventure following you.

I can't wait for the next one! :O

The actual Doctor of Equestria universe? Or an female Captain Jack? What ever it is write it now.

A female Timelord? A TARDIS called Eternis? With a working chamelion circuit?!

Can't wait for the next story!

...Colgate?

They went to... The Other Dimension.

I'm seriously loving this. Onward to the next chappie!

>>10561481056148

That beard looks really familiar...

>>12062421206242 That picture is on a t-shirt, if I'm not mistaken. You might've seen some-one wearing it.
