Ponyville's Weeping Angel

by Derplight Sperkle


Chapter 5

Now everypony (is the term correct?) was in a state of panic. Granny was waddling one way while the Appleseeds cowered in fear.
“EVERYONE! CALM DOWN!” I shout, “panic is not the answer, we need to stand together in order to defeat this threat.”
Slowly they all calmed down. “What should we do Doctor?” questioned Twilight, “I mean the thing you call a ‘Weeping Angel’ sounds to be more powerful than anything we have in all of Equestria.”
“You are absolutely correct that Weeping Angels are more powerful that you may have faced but remember their weakness, sight. We need to find this Discord and catch him before any damage is done.”
“Well I’m not staying here!” panicked Johnny Appleseed, “I’m getting out of here!”
As we here his running footsteps rush away, we suddenly hear silence. “There is no way he is fast enough to not hear his hooves anymore…” commented Rainbow.
“He was taken, by Discord”
Now everypony’s attention was now on me. “I now want every pony to stay together, we split up, it means he will take us down one by one.” I commanded, and everypony listened. We gathered into a small group and listened. All of the sudden the night was silent, deathly silent (no pun intended, actually, maybe it was).
“Somethins’ wrong, the farm is never silent, “muttered Applejack. She is right. A farm is never silent, there is always some form of sound like a cricket or whatever insects are in this world. But only silence prevailed. It must be this Discord Twilight spoke about. As we round the corner, I spot a statue. “Hm what is this then?” Then I blinked.
Right when I opened my eyes, the statue was closer, as in in my face closer! I nearly got stranded in the past on a strange planet I never knew about until today! I inch away as quickly as I could, keeping my eyes on the statue.
“I believe I have found your Discord,” I said as I inched around the corner. But as soon as I rounded the corner, the others went to see but found nothing.
“He could be as fast as me,” Rainbow said, “and I am the fastest pony in Equestria.”
Everyone convened together rand whispered to one another.
“Um, maybe, we could talk to Discord and reason with him, and tell him nicely to leave us alone?” suggested Fluttershy.
“No, we cannot do that, the best plan is a full front attack and smash him into pieces!” commanded Rainbow Dash.
“No that plan is foolish, we need a better approach,” replied Applejack.
“Applejack is right, we need to plan that involves Discord as a permanent statue, which according to the Doctor, means constant surveillance,” remarked Twilight.
“You are brilliant Twilight Sparkle, just brilliant!”
“But how to keep Discord under surveillance is challenging, everyone needs to blink sooner or later,” Rarity mentions.
“You are also correct there as well Rarity, what to do, what to do!”
“I think we should have a party and invite Discord, I mean he can make chocolate rain with his chaos powers, you hear that CHOCOLATE RAIN!” Pinkie Pie said.
“Pinkie Pie, you are so random!” Rainbow Dash replied.
“Enough of this, we need to drive this menace away from Ponyville and keep him from ruining other ponies’ lives,” Granny Smith commanded.
“Okay then here is the plan, we will split into teams of two, each pony looking for Discord, so who will be the teams?” I said.
“Me and Fluttershy will take the skies,” Rainbow said.
“I will go with Rarity, we will make a good team,” Twilight replied.
“Don’t leave me with Pinkie, ugh, great,” moaned Applejack. “Doctor can you take Pinkie, she can be, too excited.”
“Fine I’ll partner up with her, you can stay with your family, for everypony else, Allons-y!”
Rainbow and Fluttershy took to the skies while Twilight and Rarity went towards the apple forest. Pinkie and I headed towards the barn. Soon, I knew why Applejack was so hesitant to take Pinkie as a partner.
“So this weeping angel thing, is there more of them? I wouldn’t like if there were more of them, then it would spoil the party and everypony can’t smile without a party,” and it goes on and on. But being the nice Timelord that I am, I just ignored it and looked out for Discord. As we searched the outside of the barn, Fluttershy came down and said, “Um excuse me Doctor, but I think we found Discord, he is, um, near the apple trees to the north.”
“Thank you Fluttershy, and what about Rainbow Dash?”
“Oh, she went to get Twilight and Rarity, if that is okay?”
“Oh right, that is perfectly fine and a brilliant plan, now let’s go meet them.”
As we head to the forest, I felt a presence watching us. Could it be our enemy? But when I looked around there was nothing, so I think it was my imagination, if that is what humans (or ponies) call it.
We soon all met up and the ponies were starting to panic once more. “I haven’t seen him but I hear rustling of the leaves and running footsteps, how about everypony else?” questioned Twilight.
“I thought I saw him over there, no wait, over here, or maybe was it over here?” Pinkie Pie said as she zoomed from spot to spot with lightning speed. How is she doing this?
“Everypony calm down, we need to concentrate and listen, if you hear anything, just maybe it is Discord and look in that direction.” I commanded.
Soon everypony calmed down and listened. Soon after I heard a rustle of dry leaves and I looked. Nothing was there but some leaves were in the air, as if blown in the air by some kind of wind. I know it wasn’t wind because the night was quiet, a little too quiet (I always wanted to say that! Or maybe was I always wanted to think it?). Then a shrill scream rumbled through the air. It was Fluttershy! We all rushed to her and found Discord within inches of touching Fluttershy. Luckily some pony arrived just in time because Fluttershy was cowering in fear. We all collectively breathed a sigh of relief. It was Rainbow Dash that saved Fluttershy from the terror of an unknown destination in history or future.
“I was just flying around when I saw Fluttershy go into the woods calling out for some animals then I saw leaves blowing around so I investigated. I guess I found Fluttershy just when Discord was about to get her.” Rainbow said.
Then came a problem. How will we keep Discord as a statue? So we stayed up the rest of the night and by morning we were bone tired. Twilight decided to write to Princess Celestia (who is this?) about the conundrum. Just as the last of us was going to collapse with sleep, an unknown pony that was a unicorn and a pegasus at the same time. She was blue with a mane of a starry night and had a moon cutie mark. Does this pony have something to do with the moon?
“WELL HELLO EVERYPONY!” shouted the unknown mare.
Everyone jumped up from the sudden noise. “How many times do I have to tell you Princess Luna, we speak in a lower tone of voice here,” Twilight said.
“But I like the royal Canterlot voice…” signed Luna.
“Well there is a time and place for it and this isn’t it, so did Celestia receive my letter?”
“Yes my sister got the letter and sent me with this artifact called the Eye of Skadi, it is said that it acts like a constant eye, never blinking. Is that what you need?”
“Yes perfect! Just what we need to keep Discord a statue. Now to move Discord somewhere safe.” I say.
“Oh I’ll just have my guards take him with us.”
“Well then that is brilliant, thank you for taking this out of our hands your majesty.”
“You’re welcome, and your name is?”
“Oh I’m the Doctor, no Doctor Who, no Doctor Pony, just the Doctor”
“Okay then, Doctor, may we meet again sometime”
“Will do Princess.” And Luna left with Discord in hands of the guards.
“So now that all is said and done, I must be going.”
“No don’t go, you can stay in Ponyville and have all the parties and cakes with us!” Pinkie Pie says.
“I’m sorry I’m not much of the stick around type, I need to go back to my dimension, where I have other friends and species who need my assistance.”
Everypony says bye, except for Rainbow Dash.
“Can I go with you, I mean if you don’t mind bringing the fastest pony in Equstria.”
“Actually I was about to ask you all if you wanted to go with me for one trip each, does that sound good to you?”
Everypony then looked up and smiled. They each wanted to go.
“My TARDIS which means Time And Relative Dimension In Space can travel throughout the dimensions and space.” I proclaim.
“Well me first! I want to go somewhere else than boring old Equestria,” Rainbow commands.
“Alright then, I will take Rainbow Dash first.” Everypony sighs. “Did I forget to mention that the TARDIS is a time machine as well?”
Everypony attention is now piqued. They now all knew they wouldn’t be waiting long for their turns.
As Rainbow and I went back to the TARDIS and said goodbye, Rainbow couldn’t stop saying “Ohmigod!” When we reached the good ol TARDIS Rainbow said “That’s it? All it is a small little blue pony box, how does it travel?”
“Don’t be dissing the TARDIS, but you still haven’t been inside…”
I opened the door and Rainbow did what everybody does, looks inside then leaves looks at the exterior, then the interior with awe. “How is this possible, it’s bigger on the inside!” Rainbow questions.
“Well time to leave!” I say as I start pulling the rods as the engine whirs towards my destination. As we start, I start to get very tired. As I hear the TARDIS purring along the world goes to black…

The End?
