Button Mash and The Quest to Save Ponyville

by JamesBurton


The Doctor is...

The group of stunned ponies look at the unconscious Derpy Hooves with looks of disbelief evident on their faces, they never would have thought that the gentle hearted gray mare would ever try to attack somepony yet alone kill with intense rage. Dinky rushes over to her mother but the blue pegasus holds her back not letting her get any closer.

"Stay back." He said not looking away from the unconscious mare on the ground. "Ms. Hooves is currently possessed by Dark Force, Button Mash get me some rope." Button Mash runs off to find some rope while the brown stallion and the gray unicorn try to figure out what's going on.

"What is this Dark Force?!" Dinky asked frantically. "And what does it want with my mother?!"

"Miss Hooves, if you really must know, Dark Force are evil creatures bent on controlling the universe." He replied calmly. "They can control anypony to do anything against their will." Button Mash returns with some rope and gives it over to the blue doctor who begins to tie her up. "Ms. Hooves was no doubt an unwilling pawn."

Sparkler appears outside wondering what was all the commotion about and see a blue pegasus tying up her mother. "MOM! WHAT HAPPENED HERE!!"

The brown stallion steps between her and the blue pegasus. "I don't know." He replied. "But from what I can gather your mother is being used by something known as Dark Force."

" So you WERE paying attention Time Turner." Said the blue pegasus. "Good, explain to Sparkler and do not skip all the details." The brown stallion looks at the pegasus with a look of surprise as he faces the four friends he arrived with. "Button Mash, Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo, follow me." He enters the house with Dinky right behind them.

"Whoa, whoa whoa where do you think your going?" She asked a little annoyed. "You just don't walk into somepony's house like your Link or something."

"Dinky are you for real right now?" Replied Sweetie Belle rolling her eyes. "Your mother is in danger and all you can do is flirt with Button."

Dinky gives Sweetie Belle a intense glare. "I wasn't flirting, I was being serious when I said what gives you the right to enter my house uninvited."

"I wish he would enter my house uninvited."Sighed Scootaloo as she daydreamed about the blue pegasus. "I could stare at his pretty blue eyes all day."

The others stare at Scootaloo while she was still daydreaming. "Umm, just forget about her." Groaned Applebloom shaking her head. Dinky shakes her head and gets back at the topic at hoof.

"As I was saying, just because I used Link as a reference doesn't mean I was flirting with Button Mash." Dinky suddenly looks very shocked like she just discovered something. " Oh I get it now, you're jealous."

"JEALOUS!!!" Shrieked Sweetie Belle. Her voice was very high pitched and that only happened only when she was very excited or angry. Button Mash knew this from the times that they argued over silly trivial things or the times where Sweetie Belle was extremely excited about something and just had to share it with Button. "WHY WOULD I BE JEALOUS DINKY?!"

Applebloom looks at the scene before her, everything was spiraling out of control. Scootaloo was no help as she was still daydreaming, Button Mash looked about as lost as a puppy in the big city, Sweetie Belle was trading insults with Dinky, and the doctor was- wait where was the doctor?"

"Umm pardon me?" She said raising a hoof.

Dinky and Sweetie Belle stop their verbal battle and looked the poor yellow filly with a glare that made her shrink back in fear. "WHAT!"

"The Doctor is gone." She replied shakily.

The group quickly look around for the blue pegasus but he was nowhere to be found, at that time, Time Turner aka The Doctor returned with Sparkler and the unconscious Derpy Hooves on his back, he gently lays her on the couch while muttering something about that blue doctor.

"Doctor! I cant find that other Doctor!" Dinky panicked.

"Well he didn't go out the front door, Sparkler and I would have seen him." Replied Time Turner. "And I doubt that he would leave his friends behind so the backdoor is out."

"What about your TARDIS." Suggested Sparkler. "If he's The Doctor as he is, he must have went there."

Time Turner gives Sparkler a reassuring look. "Don't worry about that Sparkler, he's not me or a Time Lord so there is no possible way that he could-"

"DOCTOR THE BASEMENT DOOR IS OPEN!!" Yelled Dinky.

"My TARDIS!" The brown stallion quickly rushes to the basement with the rest of the group following behind him. They enter the basement where the vessel of time travel was sitting with its doors wide open.

"What's with the outhouse?" Asked Scootaloo. "And why do you have it in your house?"

Dinky sighed and walked in to the blue box with Time Turner. "Just follow us."

"I don't know if I want to." Muttered Scootaloo.

Applebloom pushes Scootaloo inside. "Whoa! Button Mash Sweetie Belle get in here!"

Button Mash and his fillyfriend Sweetie Belle enter the strange blue box. "Whoa Button, look at the size of this place!" Button Mash only nods an agreement speechless eyes wide open. The walls were a dark gray with lights on the top on some sort of spinning contraption above and below the main console where a certain blue pegasus was manipulating some of the controls.

"EXCUSE ME!!" Yelled Time Turner his eye twitching and his voice full of anger. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING WITH MY TARDIS?!"

The pegasus ignores him and lifts a leaver on the control console. "There, they should be able to get my location now, hopefully." He turns his head and looks at the group before him, but his main problem was the very angry brown stallion who looked like he was ready to bust a blood vessel. "Sorry for the intrusion Doctor, but this was much to important-"

"I don't who you are and right now I don't care." He said calmly. "But if there is ONE thing that you never do." He walks to the control panel and looks the blue doctor right in his eyes. "Try to steal my TIME MACHINE!"

The crusaders and Button Mash exchange looks of amazement. "A time machine?" Asked Sweetie Belle "That's so cool- wait a minute." She glances at Dinky who just looks confused to what exactly Sweetie Belle was implying. Applebloom looks down on the ground sadly lost in thought and Scootaloo starts to daydream again.

"Steal your time machine?" Replied The Doctor completely serious. "Why would I steal this piece of junk?" He walks away from the seething brown doctor and heads towards the door. "I was just using it to make a call that's all." He walks out of the TARDIS with Button Mash and the girls behind him as they walked back upstairs.

"Button wait!" Dinky runs up behind them. "Button what is this all about?" She asked. "First you bring this fake doctor to my house, then my mother goes crazy." She starts to get a little angry. "But not only that, said fake doctor breaks into my Doctor's TARDIS just to make a call." Button Mash starts to back up as the gray unicorn filly slowly walks closer to him. "I may like you, but if you don't tell me what's going on right now, I'm gonna punch you in the face."

"Ha Ha Ha Dinky." Derpy Hooves awakes on her spot on the couch still tied up. She slowly turns her head to the group with a thousand yard stare. "My dear daughter Dinky." Derpy voice is slow almost like she was speaking for two." Button Mash you have no idea what you're up against do you?" Button Mash and The Doctor look at the gray pegasus mare as she continued to speak. "We know of you too..Doctor was it? Both of you have committed unspeakable crimes against us, but for you Button Mash we offer the chance for redemption, and all you have to do is...Kill that Doctor."

The earth colt glares at this evil entity that possessed Derpy. "Not a chance!"

"Ha Ha Ha." The gray pegasus starts to laugh slowly. "Button Mash tell us this." The evil entity starts to grin menacing. "Do you love your mother as much as Dinky loves me? Ha Ha Ha."

The brown earth colt blood went icy cold. That was by far the absolute last thing he wanted to hear. "YOU STAY AWAY FROM HER! DO YOU HEAR ME!" He races out of the house with his friends following close behind him as the evil that controlled Derpy Hooves continued to laugh manically.

Button Mash listen to us! Button Mash continues gallop ignoring the voice in his head. The time has come, and as promised we shall lend you our power! Button Mash frantically opens the front door of his home looking for his mother. "MOM! MOM WERE ARE YOU!"

"I'm in the kitchen sweetie." He quickly goes into the kitchen and sees his mother chopping up some vegetables with a knife. Button quickly wraps his mother an a hug. "I'm so glad that your ok Mom."

Milano returns his hug with a warm smile. "Of course Button Mash, I'm fine."

The Doctor quickly enters the kitchen as well. "BUTTON MASH LOOK OUT!" Button Mash looks up and before he could react Milano slashes her son on the chest with the knife.

"Ugh, M-mom." He collapses on the ground, with his blood slowly staining the marble floor.

Dinky and Sweetie Belle enter the kitchen with Applebloom and Scootaloo follow close behind. "BUTTON MASH!!!" Yelled the two unicorns as Milano begins to laugh.

"This is what happens when you go against the will of Dark Force!"

Dinky's horn turns yellow as the unicorn filly charges her magic and fires it at the corrupted mother but her attack was prevented by a blue shield.

"Really darling is that the best you can do?"

Now it was Sweetie Belle turn for her blood to run cold, she knew that voice anywhere. "Please no." Tears start to fall from the poor filly's eyes as another white unicorn with a purple mane and blue eyes appears from the next room.

"Hello Sweetie Belle." Greeted Rarity.

The Doctor spots a bag of flour sitting on the counter. "Dinky listen to me!" Whispered The Doctor. "When I saw now, grab Button Mash with your magic ok." She nods and waits for the doctor's signal. "NOW" He hits the bag of flour over toward the two mares who begin to cough as Dinky grabs Button with her magic and puts him on her back. "RUN! WE MUST GET BACK TO THE CLUBHOUSE!" The group quickly leave the house and make their way back to the clubhouse.

"DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE FROM US!" Said a voice. "Ah reckon that you little foals stop yer runnin right now." Added another one.

"DONT STOP!" Yelled The Doctor. " KEEP RUNNING TOWARD THE CLUBHOUSE!"

A blue pegasus with a rainbow colored mane took of in the sky. "Scootaloo don't you want to hang out with your big sister? Hahahaha." Rainbow Dash files towards them extremely fast. " I'll catch up to you in ten seconds flat!"

"That's it Rainbow just a little closer." Muttered The Doctor. When self-proclaimed fastest flier in all of Equestria was close enough, the doctor grabs some dirt and throws it in her eyes.

"AUGGGHHHH!" Screamed Rainbow Dash as she covered her eyes still flying fast and flew straight into a wall knocking her out as the group continued to make haste to the clubhouse.


"Ok we're here." Said The Doctor looking around for something. "Now where are you guys?!"

Dinky and Sweetie Belle check up on Button Mash who is not looking so good. "Hang on Button." Said the marshmallow filly as she gently rubbed his mane. While Applebloom and Scootaloo watched the blue pegasus get more and more agitated, they wondered if they should say something but decide against it.

"ARGH, WHERE ARE THEY?!" Growled The Doctor. "THEY SHOULD BE HERE BY NOW!"

A strange sound filled the air, its sounded like something was winding down, then in a flash of light a strange machine appeared. It looked like Time Turner's TARDIS but it looked different somehow. The doors open reveling a very angry orange pegasus wearing a green sleeveless hoodie that looks strangely like Scootaloo.

"RAIN CATCHER!!! YOU HAVE A LOT OF NERVE!!!
