//------------------------------// // Cross Dimensional // Story: Doctor Whooves: When Universes Collide // by Draconaquest //------------------------------// "Ha!" The Doctor shouted. "Oh, Omega, you're clever, but you're still bone dead stupid." He reached into his pocket, and pulled out his TARDIS key, along with his sonic screwdriver. "Let's see," he said, activating the screwdriver. "Cross dimensional pattern, taken to wireless signal, and BAM!!!" The Doctor's TARDIS began to materialize around him, and he smiled, "Ah, Omega, always search a prisoner before you send him to prison." He pulled several switches on the console, and the TARDIS dematerialized, and rematerialized in the courtyard of Canterlot High. The Doctor walked to the entrance, and reached to grab his trench coat... Only to realize that he'd left it in Omega's TARDIS. The Doctor cursed under his breath, and ran outside. Canterlot High was there, but, it seemed wrong. Vacant. He looked up, and saw the sky. It was a dark purple, like an approaching storm. Except there wasn't a cloud in the sky. "Doctor!" The Doctor looked to his right, to see Sunset Shimmer running toward him. "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." The Doctor replied. "What's happening?" "I thought you would know." Sunset said. "But, something is definitely wrong." "How can you tell?" Sunset face turned to a look of shock, and then she pointed behind the TARDIS. The Doctor followed her finger, and saw Canterlot Castle towering over the school. "What?" He mumbled to himself. "But, that should be in Equestria..." "Yes, it should. So, why's it here?" Sunset asked. The Doctor's face turned from confusion to fear. "No." "What is it?" The Doctor whipped around to face Sunset. "Sunset, where are your friends?" "They're at home." Sunset replied. "Call them, text them, just tell them to get here, now." The Doctor ordered. "Why?" "Because, this may be the safest place in the entire world." As a scientist, Twilight had seen her fair share of strange things. But, this was the strangest. Turing into a horse for a few minutes was odd enough, but, it seemed like her world has crossed with another. She sat at her computer, her dog Spike sleeping soundly on her lap, checking news feeds. Unfortunately, everything was down. There was no news feeds, or blogs up to date. Everyone seemed to be going nuts. Twilight might have been the only person who was smart enough to actually try and figure out what was going on. She rubbed her chin. "I wonder..." she hacked into Canterlot High's security grid. The TARDIS dematerialized a short distance from the Castle of the Two Sisters, still slightly in ruins. Ever since Twilight had gotten her own castle, she hadn't taken the time to visit the castle anymore. The Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS, Twilight right behind him. "Why are we here?" She asked, closing the door behind her. "I need to check the Tree of Harmony." He replied, "If I'm right, it'll be damaged." He turned to the steps, placing his hands in his pockets, walking slowly down them. "It draws it's energy from the Elements of Harmony, which draw their energy from their users. With no users, it then draws magic from the world around them. With the way the world is, there might be no magic for the Elements to obtain." They reached the end of the stairs, and then were utterly shocked by the sight in front of them. The Tree of Harmony was rotting. It's trunk, and branches had turned black, and the ground around it had began to grow fungus. Even the Elements' color was fading. "What happened?" Twilight asked. "Exactly what I said could happen." The Doctor said, walking toward the Tree. "This is bad. This is very bad." "But what happened?" Twilight asked. "To the world, I mean." "I don't know." The Doctor admitted. "I don't have enough information yet." "Then what do we do?" Twilight asked. "Find more information, and hope we're not to late." "Why did you call us here?" Rainbow Dash asked, storming into the classroom where the Doctor had set up a temporary base. She was accompanied by Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Sunset Shimmer bringing up the rear. Why does Sunset trust you so much?" "This is the safest place for you." The Doctor said, standing up. "For all of you." "Doctor," Sunset said, maneuvering her way though her friends, "what's going on?" "Well..." the Doctor scratched the back of his head. "Hang on," he skipped to the chalkboard, put on his glasses, and picked up a stick of chalk. "All right, take a seat, class has started." The six girls reluctantly sat down, as the Doctor began to explain the situation. He drew two circles, about a foot apart from each other. "Um...Sunset, what us the name of the planet Equestria is on?" "Gaea." Sunset said. "Thank you." The Doctor wrote a G on the circle to the left, and an E in the circle on the right. "Okay, Earth and Gaea are connected. They have been for a long time. There's a type of cord connecting them." He drew a line between the planets. "Each time someone travels between these two worlds, the cord fluctuates, like a bungee cord. What has happened, is the cord was stretched really far, and then slammed backwards, combining the two planets." The Doctor drew one circle, with a capital G and E. "Both planets combined, to create a single planet. Here's the problem: This world is in a constant state of flux. That's why you keep switching between your pony version, and your human. And soon, this world will become overloaded with this stage. And when it does..." The Doctor scribbled out the single planet. "Both planets will cease to exist. They will implode on themselves." "So, what do we do?" Sunset asked. "We figure out how to stop it." The Doctor dropped the piece of chalk. "All of you, follow me!" He walked towards the door. "Hang on!" Rainbow shouted, getting up from her chair. "Who put you in charge? And who are you, anyway?!" The Doctor stopped in his tracks, and turned around to face Rainbow Dash with a serious look on his face. "I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I am nine hundred and five years old and I'm the man who's gonna save your lives, and all ten billion people on both these planets." The six girls stood there in awe. "You got a problem with that?" "No." Rainbow Dash said. "In that case," The Doctor turned around and walked out the door, "Allons-y!"
