This story is a sequel to Why No One Messes With Celestia

In the wake of Celestia's return to Equus, the ponies have worked tirelessly to prepare for the arrival of the Ascended. Defenses have been set up, weapons prepared, allies warned, but most important of all in the minds of both Diarchs, a cure for the Indoctrination has been pursued.

The Ascended, or the Reapers as they are known to the rest of the galaxy, are not amused. They attack in force, unwilling to stand by and let this small, barely space-worthy race of unascended quadrupeds neutralize their most effective weapon in their march towards galactic cleansing.

Now they too shall learn to fear the dark, and the Princess who controls it.

Equestria has fallen into chaos by Discord, Celestia and Luna fight desperately to keep Equestria in peace. Simultaneously, criminals and villains take this time as an opportunity for greed and power. And in the mid-center of this chaos lies a hero. One who may very well be Equestria's, if not Equiis's, only hope. The one, who is he? The Phoenix Adventurer: The Doctor! With the help of his companions, all of Equiis will know his name. He will be known for centuries to come. Whether they like it or not.

This is an alternative version of Doctor Whooves, one that fits him within the MLP universe (meaning this Doctor is not the Doctor in the show. He is a Doctor that originates from the MLP universe, not the Doctor Who universe. A fully Equestrian Doctor Whooves) This version also does not travel through time and space.
