//------------------------------// // Ch 4 // Story: A Journey of Self Discovery // by coolpony01 //------------------------------// It has been three weeks since I’ve met Doctor. He has been training me to be able to help the people of the multiverse. And to stop anyone who attempts to commit evil and cruel deeds.  He also taught me how to use weapons such as guns and bombs. I’ve also been learning to fix certain types of machinery. I can only do basic electronics right now but I’m getting there. He also showed me how to read and write in the handwriting he was taught. There’s many names for it but Doctor calls in english. I need to learn how to read and write in this language so I can be able to read any handwritten information in order to stop bad people. Sure there’s other handwriting and other languages I’ll need to learn but this one is one of the most common.  I managed to get more experience. I can start by helping him with the tardis. I am grateful that I am able to do a lot of good fortune for others  and that I have a friend. These past few weeks we’ve formed a bond. We enjoy spending time together and helping each other out. It’s nice that we are not alone in this and we’d never take that for granted.  No one in my world including my parents know about any of this nor do they suspect anything. Thank goodness so I don’t have any extra problems which makes each day much easier. I just woke up I have to head over to Doctors'. I made myself invisible to both sound and sight. I then made a replica and headed over to Doctors’.  “Good morning D.” Doctor said with a warm smile using that nickname he gave for me. “And good morning to you Doc.” I said using the nickname he gave me.  “You ready to get started Ditzy?” Doctor asked.  “Of course what can I help you with.” I spoke eager to do something helpful. “Well I could use a little help with fixing some of our weapons you’ll need to learn how to so it’s time I showed you how.” Doctor said. “Yippee let’s get started.” I said in a happy tone. “Wait not so fast we have to have breakfast first.” Doctor cautioned.  “But Doc I need to learn.” I said. “But you also need your energy which is why I got you this.” Doctor said as he got out an breakfast muffin. He knows its my favorite thing to eat for breakfast. “Come on Doc.” I said. “Come on Ditzy you know you want this.” Doctor said. “Well breakfast is the most important meal of the day after all.” I said as I looked and took a bite out of the delicious muffin. Doctor smiled. “This is so good.” I said. “I know you can’t go wrong with a good English breakfast.” He said pleasantly in that strange yet intriguing accent he always uses. We enjoyed our breakfast. Afterwards Doctor taught me to make repairs for various types of weapons such as guns and bombs. It’s nice that I know how to do that stuff now. Afterwards we began to use technology to scan for any unstable materials like how nutcases use for interdimensional travel.  As I went to look for any signs of unstable materials a light appeared. “We got one Doc.” I called out Doctor came as he heard. “Looks like it's located on Dimension Xona on a planet called Gola good work D.” Doctor said. “Glad to help Doc, let's kick some evil ass.” I said. He then got the machine ready and I got all the weapons and supplies we need. We then went out with caution. We have to be smart.  We could see several mountains. The area around was very rocky and jagged. It makes sense why they came here. Gola's mountains are full of cryston from what I’ve learned about the multiverse. This area looks pretty rural so not many troops could go after them at least not quickly. “Alright you lazy things get to work.” Our ears shot up when we heard the sound of Hacker’s voice.  We approached with caution. We could see Hacker along with several non pony species including griffins, zebras, and donkeys. The friends of Ponies were likely using them as forced labor. This is a disgusting practice. We need to stop them. But we must be resourceful and smart otherwise we’ll fail. That can’t happen, they need us and so do a lot of others. We made our way to the machinery we can see there’s quite a lot of tech here that has quite a lot of use.  How to power the cryston and make it more powerful is the main function. But there’s also a lot of other uses like to power the detainment technology on the slaves to prevent any form of escape.  We worked this out carefully. I did what I could. I don’t have as much experience as Doctor. I managed to cause those bastards weapons to become slightly weakened and called in allies to fight those terrorists alongside us. The others managed to turn off the power to the detainment technology on the prisoners. As well as cut the power that caused the cryston to become more powerful as well as their weapons.  When the power was cut the prisoners ran and flew to escape and we attacked those scumbags. They cannot be allowed to commit such unjust atrocities against the remaining number of them that weren’t captured or killed and went and retreated. we won. They won’t be able to use these innocent civilians to do their dirty work anymore. How dare they use them to create such dangerous technology and to only further their unjust oppression. Well now at least these civilians are free.  One of the most recognized of us fighters went to give the speech her name is Twilight Sparkle, she is a pale light grayish mulberry unicorn with a long straight sapphire blue, moderate purple, and brilliant raspberry mane and tail, with moderate violet eyes, and she has a big pink star with tiny white sparkles around it for a cutie mark. I don’t have my cutie mark yet and likely don’t get one, but I don’t mind.  She is a very decent person; she was educated by Princess Celestia herself; she was one of the oldest rulers of Equestria due to her being an alicorn, the rarest of the pony races. They have feathery wings like my race, but they are far more elegant and bigger which allows for better flight. They also have a horn like that of a unicorn but far longer and capable of far more magical power and control over it.  Celestia was a a ruler of fairness, equality, and tolerance. When extremist pony xenophobes rose, she took in quite a lot of refugees. Allowing them to stay in Equestria so long as they followed the law. Those fascist pricks didn’t like that. They said that version of Equestria. And they ended up destroying that version of Equestria. Twilight Sparkle was one of the few that was lucky enough to survive. Unfortunately, her mentor Princess Celestia and many civilians did not.  Twilight made a vow to do whatever she could to end such injustice and has been doing so ever since. She may have only been doing so for a few months but with her magic power she was able to do quite a few heroic acts. Her biggest one being saving another solar system nation non as Avarian home of the griffons. And she earned her recognition for such moral deeds.  “We are terribly sorry for what happened to you. It was unjust we will make sure you are all brought to your homes, and we will do all in our power to protect you from those brutes.” Twilight Sparkle said. I along with everyone else made sure that all of these people got back to their homes safely and were protected when they got there. We went back to the Tardis. “We should get you home it’s best that we avoid your parents learning of the multiverse and what you've been up to.” Doctor said. “Yeah, if the fascist groups find our planet, they’ll probably be hostile that and my parents will so go after me if they find out what I’ve been up to.” I spoke. “You’re probably right about that I wouldn’t want my friend having to deal with any additional problems.” Doctor said with warmth. “Aww and I wouldn’t want you to deal with any problems coming to my friend either.” I said with warmth and gratitude.  “Alright then let’s get going but first I think you earned a little treat.” Doctor said with a smile. He then got out a doughnut my one weakness. “No.” I said. “Yes.” Doctor replied. He then got out a long john a favorite of mine.  “Oh, come on D you earned it.” Doctor said. I gave him a goofy smile “I suppose one treat couldn’t hurt.” I spoke. “Atta girl.” Doctor said. I then took a bite out of the sugary chocolatey treat, the taste hit my tongue. “Mmm” I said. “Alright then while you enjoy that I’ll go get us home.” Doctor said as he got his coordinates ready for my dimensional planet. “Well best you get going Ditzy I’ll see you tomorrow.” Doctor said. We went and hugged as all good friends do. I then left and ended up in a room full of other workers managing the mail for the Earth Empire. I adjusted quite easily. It is good that I don’t have to worry about my parents or anyone else having suspicions. It has been one heck of a day. Doc and I helped quite a lot of people and with all the knowledge I keep learning I’ll get even better at my new duty. I am glad to help people as well as the fact that I have a friend in all of this.
