//------------------------------// // Alpheratz ⚜ Beyond the Void // Story: 6.7.11 // by Morningstar1337 //------------------------------// Leadworth 12:11 AM 6/17/2012 The Doctor, Rory, and River had just woken up the unconscious Amy and the ponies on the TARDIS. The last Time Lord then led the passengers inside Amy's house. Some were confused, others were amazed, and others was ticked off from the turn of events. One of these angry ponies, Rainbow Dash had flew up to the madman's face and shouted "All right [Doctor,] Where are we!?" Applejack had bitten the rainbow-maned pegasus' tail to hold her back. "Yeah, what in the world of Equestria is going on?" Toola Roola said. "Uh, Equestria?" Rory said. "It's a long story." The doctor answered. "You may want to sit down." The ponies as well as the other companions then proceeded to find a place to sit. The six bearers of the Elements sat down on the floor closest to the kitchen, Cheerilee and her 3 students sat down nearby the doors outside, Toola Roola, and Starsong sat down in-between, The Pond-Williams found some chairs for most of the guests and then sat down. The Doctor then proceeded to introduce everyone and then explain what happened at that party, and what happened to the ponies home world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Leadworth 1:45 AM "What?" Rainbow dash said. "You mean we're stuck here?" "Well that's one way of putting it." The Doctor answered. "Getting through the Void is a bit tricky." "A bit?" Applejack said. "We had been stuck in some sort of meteor storm!" "Uhh," Fluttershy said. "is it possible to bring us back?" The Doctor put on a fez said "Yes and no. You see. While both worlds run perpendicular to each other, time was somehow stopping in yours. We barely made it by the skin of our teeth. Any more questions?" "Yes i have a question," Rarity said. "Why are you wearing that awful fez?" "Fezzes are cool." The Doctor responded. River placed her palm on her face, then proceeded to knock the fez off her husband's head. Pinkie Pie then said "What about those aliens you told us about? You know the memory-proof ones?" The nurse and his wife then looked at the man in the tweed jacket. "I was getting to that." The madman said. He then explained to the ponies about the silence. How they erased any memory about meeting them, and how they force suggestions into your mind after they left. Everyone went to get some sleep after the explanation. The 12 ponies went to sleep in the TARDIS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TARDIS 8:02 AM The Doctor had not went to sleep. He was busy examining the TARDIS. Everyone was just waking up while the Doctor was busy looking in every nook and cranny for the source of the mysterious message he saw inside the vortex. He saw something on the news. The person on the telly said "A mysterious meteor storm has been witnessed last night." The Time Lord was still looking for the source until something on the news report caught his eye. "Now that can't be right." He said. He used his sonic screwdriver to rewind back to the start of the story. The anchorman said "A mysterious meteor storm has been witnessed last night." The telly then cut to a video depicting the night sky there were some colours streaking the night sky. of the streaks The Doctor had focused on a blue streak, after a few seconds that blue streak changed to a purplish colour. He used the screwdriver again to zoom the image and enhance it. The image was blurry but he saw it, his own TARDIS surrounded by Twilight's spell. The image was then zoomed back and the video replayed. One of the "meteors" then collided with the now pink streak witch changed blue afterwards "But if that was the TARDIS..." The Doctor realized. He watched the rest of the news hoping to find some answers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Leadworth 9:05 AM Toola Roola had just woken up. She was wandering around the halls of the ship until she saw Rarity who was getting herself ready. "Oh hello darling," she said to the multicolored-maned unicorn. "Can I help you?" "Hello," the pink unicorn said. "How are you feeling Rarity?" "Fine. I heard that your friend used to be a singer yes?" "Yeah Starsong used to be a wonderful singer." She said. "But she quit for some reason." "Well i was wondering if you can get her to give my sister lessons." "Singing lessons?" "More like getting around her stage fright." "I see, I'll ask her." "Thanks." The white unicorn said. "No problem." the pink one responded. The two unicorns had parted ways for now. Meanwhile Cheerilee and Starsong were talking in another room. "So what exactly were you doing while on stage?" the plum earth pony said. "Well..." the violet pegasus said. "I do a little singing, a little dancing, and some other tricks." "I see." "You sure have changed Cheerilee. No longer just wanting to tell stories huh?" "Well you seemed to gotten over your shyness since we last met face to face." The pegasus blushed "Well. I don't know, maybe." "Well, see you later." The schoolteacher giggled. "My class may have less students attending but that doesn't mean i don't a job to do." "I see. Well see you soon." The ex-singer said. The mares went their separate ways. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TRADIS 12:00 Noon Fluttershy was busy chatting with Pinkie Pie and watching Rainbow Dash fly over the place "I don't know Pinkie," the shy pegasus said. "This place seems...scary." The rainbow-maned pegasus had just landed on the spot and said "Well it IS bigger on the inside, and the guy who uses it looks off." "Really," Pinkie said. "He seems like a nice guy." "He also seems crazy." She rebutted. "And really, we just met him for a few days and the next thing we know we wind up with no memory of the past few hours and inside another dimension?" "He said that these silents were responsible for what happened to Equestria." Fluttershy said. The three then heard a voice telling them to got o the control room. It was the Doctor transmitting over the intercom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TARDIS 12:25 PM Everyone was inside the control room of the TARDIS where the Doctor was busy tinkering with the TARIS controls. All of the adult ponies plus River, Rory, and Amy were inside the room. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were playing in another room. The Time Lord said "OK so i bet you want to know why i called you here?" "Yeah, enlighten us." The untrusting Rainbow Dash deadpanned. "Doctor what's going on?" Amy said. The Time Lord then turned on a hologram above the control panel in front of the giant system of tubes and pumps. "Ok so last night there was a meteor storm, the sky above you was dancing with lights: Purple, Green, Brilliant yellow..." "Yes!" Rarity interuppted. "What?" Amy said. "Your shoes," the white unicorn then points her hoof at the shoes of the girl who waited "They look darling." "Uh, Thanks?" Amy siad. The fashionable unicorn then realized she had interrupted the conversation and said "Oh go ahead." "Thank you." He then continued. "Now as i was saying these so-called [meteors] are actually something else." He then zoomed the image with his screwdriver and the hologram now looks like sever glowing hot metal spheres. "Now see this," the Doctor said. "This is chronosteel." "OK," Twilight said. "What is chronosteel?" "Imagine metal forged inside the time vortex." "I see." The purple unicorn replied. "Then don't," said the Time Lord. "Cause this type is nothing at all like that." "Doctor what are you getting at?" Cheerilee said. "Yeah," Toola Roola said. "You mean this isn't metal?" "No, the key word here is [forged.]" The man in the tweed jacket said. "Regular chronosteel is forged in the vortex, but this alloy seems to be transmutated." "Ok why are you telling us this?" Applejack said. "Because. Regular or not this is still chronosteel," said River Song. "And that means this alloy can change the course of time itself." "Got some good news though:" The Doctor said. "The good news is that with this alloy's effects aren't as immediate as the regular kind. It won't rip the fabric of reality apart yet." "And the bad news?" Rory said. "Well, we still need to collect all 88 pieces of this ore if we are to have any chance of bringing back our extradimensional guests. And that the ore may also have other effects to compensate for the [universe not being ripped apart] thing." "And?" Rainbow Dash said. "Well I have this theory that they contain the minds and souls of the ponies and such that haven't escaped the silents and time stopping on Equestria." "What?" The purple unicorn said. "It's a theory" the Doctor responded. "But I need to examine a sample to be sure." "So how are we gonna find this crono-whatus?" The pink earth pony said while bouncing. The Doctor said "I think I have an idea. But i will need some time Ok?" The Doctor ended the conversation. Amy and Rory asked to talk with him and River. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TARDIS 5:02 PM Twilight Sparkle was busy looking inside the TARDIS's library. She saw so many books. From Dictionaries, to Thesauruses, to other books. The Doctor had walked in. "So you really like to read huh?" said the Time Lord. "Yeah." The purple unicorn sighed. "Miss your mentor huh?" "I just don't understand. Why did this have to happen?" She started started to cry. "Listen Miss Sparkle. I will bring you and the others back to Equestria. Oh yes I will. And until then there must be no regrets, no tears, no enzymes." The Doctor said as he was comforting the unicorn. "You must go on with your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine." "Do you really think that Celestia, Luna, and the others are ok." "My dear, I've seen planets rise and empires fall, I've seen things that provoke fear and wonder, and if there's one thing i know in my travels, its that time can be rewritten, and that there is always a chance. Besides I know what you and your friends can do to protect others. And I know that they will be with you even in the face of the end of time itself." The purple unicorn wiped her tear "Thanks Doctor." She was about to leave the Library "Oh by the way." He took out the book he borrowed a few days back. "I finished reading the book, charming piece of lore you got there. Also River apparently bought some [Daring Do] books for you and your friend before that party." Twilight levitated the book and left the room with a small smile on her face.
