Chapter 3
The War Coming Return
Chapter 3
The Captain stood at the door where the soldier told her that he was already standing. The Captain knew that this could very well be a Changeling and she would have to kill it.
The Captain hated fighting, but she knew that she was in the middle of a war, and if she didn't kill them, they would kill her.
The Captain nodded the soldiers to open the doors. When the doors opened, she did not focus on the pony they found. She just looked behind her as the doors closed
"Sir." The Captain turned to face the guard. Without paying attention to the one they found. "We found him just wandering around what used to be Ponyville. He acts like he does not know anything about the war." The guard reported.
"Derpy..." Said a familiar voice. The Captain's eyes widen as she finally turned her focus to the stallion next to the soldier. The orange seeker didn't like the insult that the pony had called the Captain.
The soldier turned to the brown crazy pony with a glare. "What did you just call our Captain? Who do you think you are!?" The stallion raised his hoof to punch him when suddenly.
"Stop!" Yelled the Captain.
"But Sir! He-"
"Stop..." She said, the soldier had never heard his Captain's voice soften before. She stared at the brown pony.
"Sir-"
The Captain's voice came back to command mode, "dismissed, leave."
"But!"
"I will take of this, I asked to be alone with him anyway, dismissed that's an order." The soldier saluted before walking away.
As the doors closed the Doctor's voice came back, "Derpy! How glad am I-"
The mare marched straight to the Doctor with a look of seriousness and studied him, the Doctor blushed at the closeness and stopped talking. The mare looked at him, walked around him. The Doctor didn't say a word, just stared in awe at the Captain. She looked so different.
When she stopped, she stood in front of him with a glare in her eye. "How do you know?" She asked.
"Know what?" The Doctor asked in confusion.
"The Doctor! You can't be the Doctor! You are a Changeling! How you could possible know him? How do you know that the Doctor is somepony from my past!" She yelled.
The Doctor tried to keep his laughter in. The Captain stared in confusion. Until the Doctor bursted in laughter.
"Somepony!! Ha!" He yelled.
The Captain gasped, the Doctor was the only one who laughed when she said stuff like that.
When the laughter stopped, The Doctor looked at the Captain to see tears coming out from her eye.
"Doctor?" She asked in her cute voice, a voice of Derpy, the wonderful Derpy.
"That's me!" The Doctor said proudly.
"DOCTOR!" She cried. She jumped onto the stallion and started crying. The Doctor smiled softly.
"Derpy, you have no idea how much I missed you." He said.
"Doctor... Doctor... Doctor..." She kept on saying. As the Doctor got up he offered his hoof to Derpy, she took it and then slapped him.
"Ow!" He cried.
"How could you leave me like that! You said that you would try your best! It's been five years Doctor!! Five years!" Said Derpy angrily.
"Derpy... I know. But you know the TARDIS. She only sets me at the time and place I'm needed." The Doctor tried to reason.
"I could've needed you two years ago when this war started!" She said.
"War..." The Doctor echoed, he looked at the mare, studied her. She had a sad eye that didn't have her normal golden glow. She had a eye patch on her right eye. The Doctor didn’t know if she hiding her eye or if she lost it, but either way, didn’t like it. He saw how war changed Derpy, and he was not liking it, war had done a number on him too. But, on his companion and friend? Sweet little Derpy? That was harsh, war is a dangerous place to be in and the nightmares never stop.
The Doctor placed his hoof on Derpy’s cheek, she looked at him, the Doctor and her held gaze for a long time. Until the Doctor’s hoof came up to her masked eye, she pulled away quickly.
“Derpy, why are you hiding?” He asked softly.
“It’s the only way they will take me seriously, if they did know then they would take me for a fool.” She said.
“Derpy I-” The Doctor was cut off by a group of soldiers entering the room.
“Sir! We heard you cry ‘Doctor’ are you alright?” Asked one of the guards. The Captain brushed her tears off quickly and faced the group.
"We are not in need of that." She said, the Doctor was amazed of the power she had over the guards, but he couldn't help but be mad at them. He couldn't tell why, but he did. "This is not a Changeling, his name is The Doctor. I think he can help us." She said to the group.
"Sir, you give your trust to the stallion so easily, what if the Changelings are getting better?" Asked a guard.
"I assure you that he is not a Changeling, do you not have faith in your captain?" She asked. The soldiers began to get nervous as an eye was glaring at each of them.
"O-of course we do Captain, but..."
"Yes?" She asked.
"Doctor Who?"
The Doctor chuckled, "Just the Doctor please." He said. The soldiers glared at him.
"You are not apart of this conversation." Yelled one of the stallions.
"I believe he is. Doctor, you may speak." She said. Her eye softening when they met his which was not notice by the soldiers.
"My name is the Doctor, just the Doctor. I will be glad to assist in this war, but I still don't understand what is going on."
"I'm sorry Doctor, I will fill you in later but for now it's time for the night shift, you all should have been in your quarters by now." She glared. "I will let you go this time, but this cannot happen again. You are dismissed. Doctor, please follow me."
The soldiers thanked their captain, gave a salute, and did what the captain told them. It was the captain and the Doctor once again.
The grey pegasus turned around towards the door opposite where the soldiers came out. "Follow me, then we can talk." She said.
The Doctor did as she asked, neither of them daring to speak on the way. They walked quite a ways before coming to a large room that was decorated with pictures. The Doctor looked around at the familiar pictures of their adventures. The Captain sat down at a table that was on the other side of the room and patted the spot in front of her.
The Doctor sat down and they both stared at each other, neither of them not knowing what to say. The Doctor finally cleared his throat and looked up to the mare he has known for years.
He smiled, “If you don’t mind Captain , I would prefer to speak to my assistant.” He said pointed his hoof to her eye. The Captain gave a soft smile and pulled of her helmet to show a messy mane and pulled off her eye patch to show her lazy eye.
The Doctor grinned, “Well Miss. Hooves, it is wonderful to see you again.” He said. Derpy giggled at the Doctor’s joke.
“Oh Doctor, you never do change do you?” Derpy asked. Looking up at him.
“Well, to me it’s only been a month… I’m really sorry Derpy, I thought that I have only left you for five days, not five years.” The Doctor said, Derpy looked down in sadness.
“It’s fine Doc-”
“No it’s not!!” The Doctor cried.
“I left you here and you had to go to war. War is a terrible thing Derpy, it changes you and I can already see the results." The Doctor said, feeling ashamed.
"War is scary Doctor, I'm scared and I don't like fighting ponies, you know that. I'm not a fighter..." She paused for a moment, "But I will fight for the ones I love." She said.
The Doctor stared once again at the pegasus, she is still Derpy on the inside, so fragile and small. He couldn't help but stare into her wall eyes. He admired them and tried to catch every detail, the fact that she kept them hidden confused the Doctor, why couldn't anyone else see how wonderful she is.
The Doctor grabbed Derpy's hooves and held it. Derpy blushed a little bit as he spoke, "You, Miss. Hooves, are the most amazing mare I've ever met." He kissed her hoove gently Derpy blushed harder.
As the Doctor let her hoove go, Derpy tied to contain her blush. She gave a soft cough into her other hoove. Derpy then had a little more of a serious look but not as hard as she had it with the guards.
"I'm sure you have many questions about the war, so please ask away." Derpy said.
"Oh, alright." The Doctor thought for a moment, he did have many questions but just did not know where to begin, some of them didn't relate to the war though. He wanted to know more of how Derpy became how she is now.
The Doctor decided to separation the other questions about Derpy to another section, knowing that he should first find out as much as he can about the war. The Doctor looked at Derpy, he didn't know if she could answer all of his questions. When Derpy was traveling with him, she was the one normally confused.
Finally figuring out a good question, he asked, "How did the war start?" It was fairly simple enough he guessed.
"A couple years ago while we're on another adventure, there was a wedding going to be held for Princess Cadence and the old captain of the royal guard, Shining Armour. But a bit before the wedding, the queen of the Changelings had somehow captured her and had taken her place."
"What is a Changeling?" The Doctor asked.
"It's this creature that can change into anypony to feed off love. They can easily confuse ponies so they have an easy way to kill. Then they suck the love out of the person of how much they meant to them and that's how they feed." Derpy said.
"I see... Continue." The Doctor insisted.
Derpy nodded, "Then Princess Twilight, before she became a princess, came and with the other friends because it turned out that Shining Armour is her brother. She uncovered the queen and freed the real princess. But you see Cadences is the princess of love. She used her power with Shining Armour and defeated the queen. But the queen swore revenge."
"So she returned two years ago..."
"And she had somehow tricked Princess Celestia, but it was too late. The princess was dead and everypony was scared. Princess Luna had to take care of the night and day, but she wasn't strong enough, she grew ill and that's why the sun and moon are both always up. This war has been going on since Princess Luna could not hold the defenses, we had been fighting ever since."
"What about Princess Cadences? Can't she do the same thing she did last time?" The Doctor asked.
"Doctor, what is the princess of? And what do the Changelings feed off of?"
"You have a point, Princess Twilight?"
"She has disappeared along with the other element holders. We think that they were caught and are either dead or hold hostage."
"Where is everypony?"
"We sent them to the Crystal Empire where Princess Cadences rules and had sent some guards as well to keep Cadences safe."
"What about Princess Luna?"
"She still is here, but she isn't recovering that quickly, she was the one who assigned me to be captain. She was the one who told me that hope was coming, and you showed up." Derpy smiled.
The Doctor smiled back, "I promise to help you, we can win this war and then everything will be okay."
"Thank you Doctor." Derpy said.
"Anything for you Derpy." The Doctor heard himself say, before blushing heavily and looking away shyly. Derpy did the same but blushed harder.
"Do you have any ideas of what we can do?" Derpy asked.
"I do have one, but I'm going to need the TARDIS..." The Doctor said pondering.
"No worries, I can send the guards to pick it up." Derpy said.
"Great! We should be ready by at least tomorrow to leave. Will you come with me?" He asked.
"Of course, I'd follow you anywhere Doctor." Derpy said with confidence.
"Oh, Derpy how I missed you." The Doctor said with excitement.
"Umm, Doctor?" Derpy asked nervously.
"Yes?" The Doctor asked.
"Why couldn't I have gone with you?" She asked.
The Doctor was silent, he didn't want to tell her, not now at least.
"Derpy, I promise you'll know soon, but this is much more important, I promise we will talk about it. Alright?" The Doctor asked.
Derpy nodded sadly. The Doctor got up from his chair and gave the grey mare a hug. These moments were always great with Derpy because the Doctor doesn't really give hugs that often. So Derpy hugged back and whispered in his ear.
"I really did miss you Doctor." She said, "I really did."
"I missed you too Miss. Hooves, more than you'll ever know."
