This story is a sequel to Doctor Whooves Episode 20: The Cure


Discord Whooves and his Cybermen armies have passed through the rift vortex and now nothing in Equestria or beyond is safe. As the battle begins and armies clash, several individuals set out to survive the invasion. And as the Doctor begins to develop a plan to defeat his darker self, he is unaware that Discord Whooves has sinister plans in mind for those close to him.

Alright! The next Doctor Whooves story! Sooner than I expected.

There's Trixie and Monty the Rory Clown pony! :trixieshiftright: I knew it! This is the beginning of all the Doctor's allies coming together to stand against Discord Whooves!

"Strange names for strange ponies!" said Francis with a smile.
"That's what Mom and Dad always say," Julianna added. "They also say that names like ours will become more common in the next few centuries."

So that's why Monty and Opal's kids have weird names for ponies. Kind of confirms my suspicion that more human-like names become more common in Equestria in the future.

Monty chuckled before saying, "To answer your question, Trixie; in the words of three friends of ours-"
"Spoilers, sweetie," said Opal and Monty together.

Another reference that there is a third person alongside River Song and Mathilda that... well is like a second version of River Song. I wonder what you got cooking when it comes to that.

Well, I'm excited to see this war that has been teased for some time now come to fruition. Keep up the good work. :pinkiehappy:

I'm just gonna put this here...

"War, your majesties."

Oh my gosh! How could I've forgotten!? Cue Doctor Whooves Intro:

"A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma," Twilight replied with a snort.
"I thought that was Russia."
"What?"
Donna suddenly gave a nervous smile and cleared her throat. "Nevermind. Churchill reference."

"What's a Churchill?" asked Spike as he stood up, rubbing his temple weakly.

I have to admit that made me laugh. :rainbowlaugh:

"I've been wanting to ask this but do you call every person you meet sweetie?" Donna asked.
"No." Matilda turned towards the open TARDIS doors. "Sometimes I call them dearie." Matilda winked at Donna before disappearing through the threshold alongside Daring Do.

"Sweetie" is obviously from River Song. "Dearie"... Wait a minute! Her hat is magic Rarity wouldn't be familiar with. She seemed familiar with Rumplestiltskin from Once Upon A Time when they met him. Did Mathilda spend a lot of time with Rumplestiltskin at some point? :pinkiegasp:

Suddenly, without warning, everypony in the room found their eardrums shattered by a loud, giddy shriek of joy emanating from Luna's mouth.

"I can't believe I'm meeting you! How am I meeting you?! This is impossible! It's wonderful! It's impossibly wonderful! I've read all of your books since I came back! Still waiting for the next one! Only six months, three weeks, five days, sixteen hours, and thirty-five minutes to go! Did I mention how excited I am to meet you?!" shrieked the Princess of the Night.

"So Princess Luna's a fangirl," the Doctor whispered to Matilda. "I honestly didn't expect that at all."

I wasn't expecting that either. She's as bad as Rainbow Dash. :rainbowderp:

"Oh that's nothing, sweetie," Matilda giggled back. "Wait until the Professor Who television series starts."

Equestria is going to have its own version of Doctor Who. :twilightoops:

Spike clutched the back of Derpy's mane tighter as he looked back at Twilight for one, last time.

So Derpy doesn't have a seat belt. :derpytongue2:

Trixie looked to see a human woman with fair skin and brunette hair approaching.

"My name is Oswin Oswald..."

The human Equestria Clara from the other story!

"Come with me if you want to live!"

Got to have a Terminator reference when Equestria gets invaded by robot cyborgs from the future.

There is quite a bit of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff going on here. I see that all the plotlines for this episode seem to have been established here. I can't wait to see what happens next. Keep up the good work. :pinkiehappy:

Oh shit Clare's.
Story got Better:rainbowdetermined2:

Oswin Oswald

*fan girling to the screen* :pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

Luna is a fan girl, all my yes.

Clara too?

This is going to be epic.

“... I can definitely remember how hard it was for me when I broke in that one time."

Interesting Rainbow happens to bring up what happened in "Read It and Weep". :rainbowderp:

A shrill shriek of fangirly pleasure escaped from Rainbow's mouth and echoed through the air. "Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!"

I don't think you could have described Rainbow meeting Daring more perfectly.

Pinkie Pie looked up to see a Cyberman flying through the air and headed straight towards her with its arms stretched out.

Since when do Cybermen fly? For that matter, since when do they hijack people's voices and self-destruct? They've been doing a lot of upgrading I imagine.

I knew when Twilight showed up back home, it sounded too good to be true! :twilightoops:

“... It's certainly a far cry from my days of baking souffles and being a nanny."
"You're a...nanny?" asked Monty.

"I may be an expert hacker but it will still take some time for me to gain control of this jet bus. So I suppose I have time to explain everything to you."
"You're a hacker too?" Monty asked with a raised eyebrow.

So this Clara is also a nanny, computer expert, and baker of souffles. But where do the eggs and milk come from?

Wait a minute. The Bad Wolf pony Donna saw in the last story. It's Discord's wife Lily! :pinkiegasp: It sounds like they're going to seek out Discord for answers on Discord Whooves. What does it all mean?

It's like all my favorite stories have been updating. This one was by far my favoritest. :pinkiesmile: This is starting to turn out most epically. Keep up the good work. :pinkiehappy:

damm it oracle of delfi, why can't you just give them the answers!

Very cool prophecy telling there. Muy spooky! Now I want to know what happened to alternate Cadence. Keep up the good work!

OK, you brought back the DoctorDonna in a way that just SCREAMS the Greek Oracle from the Percy Jackson books. Can you get any creepier?

baking souffles

The souffle is the recipe.

I"ll always remember that

4634980
Wait, Discord? Not the alternate Doctor?

4626739 Donna was like the oracle from Percy Jackson. I've never read Percy Jackson. Why is it creepy? :applejackunsure:

4634997
Allow me to explain. The Oracle of Delphi in the Percy Jackson books is a spirit. When it wants to deliver a prophecy, it does one of two things, depending on which part of the series you're in. It either:
A) possesses the dead, mummified corpse of its previous host (first 5 books of the series)
Or B) possesses a character that is the willing host of the Oracle's spirit.
Either way is creepy in my opinion.

4634990 Yep, Discord. And her Cutie Mark… was a Rose.

I hate that pinkie she's insane >:pinkiecrazy:


And come to think of it where did the sleeping stuff come from?

Some of the Cybermen remained on the ground and aimed their weaponized arms at the bus while some took to the air with help from rockets in their feet.
"THEY CAN FLY NOW?!" asked a shocked Opal and Monty.

That's what I said!

Her face them became serious and concerned.

I think you mean "then became serious..." :twilightsheepish:

Quinn Park, Canterlot, Equestria, Gaia, Winter, 1002 C.E.

Quinn Park. That's the same place from "Doctor Whooves Episode 4: Young Armor". Wait a minute! I just realized the girl from "Doctor Whooves Episode 14: Work of Fiction" was also named Quinn. :pinkiegasp: I wonder if that means something.

Derpy smiled. "Yes. I believe so. Twilight's a very smart, brave mare. She and the Doctor make a good team. They're...really good together."
Spike blew raspberries and slid down in his chair a bit. "Let me guess. You like him too, don't you?"

Spike totally saw what I've been seeing from the beginning. :moustache:

But...I think a lot of my feelings for him come mostly from admiration. I mean, I'm not head over hooves for him and I don't get butterflies in my stomach when I talk to him.

Dang it Derpy! She just destroyed my dream of seeing Twilight and her fight each other for the Doctor.:derpytongue2:

I knew again that something was up when the nurse came in with the tea. Then it was Pinkamena who drugged them, stabbed Daring, and ran away! :pinkiecrazy::pinkiesad2:

Mr. Whooves has big plans for the Elements of Harmony.

Almost reminds me of Harley Quinn the way she said that. Pinkamina Harley Quinn. I think I just scared myself. :pinkiecrazy:

Why do I get the feeling that these plans involve how Thalia came to be? :twilightoops:

Seeing this update so soon was a welcome surprise. I look forward to where this is going. Everything is coming together. Mostly. Keep up the good work. :pinkiehappy:

“I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea.”

Oh no, stab wound! Okay, SOMEBODY GET SOME BANDAGES!
Okay, first put on the disposable gloves(never leave home without)
Don't panic, don't panic(I'm panicking!)
Step two.... apply pressure *putting a piece of cloth on the wound* , WHERE IS THAT BANDAGE?!
Three.... check the breathing... Good, she's still breathing
Four.... cover the dressing, Ah, good, let's use that bandage, WHERE'S THE DOCTOR?
Five.... keep applying pressure until help arrive.....(get here fast doc or she's not gonna make it!)

Pinkie pie + drugs = very bad idea for health :pinkiecrazy:

Crazy people?

Weird response?

Ignore all writing in this comment

Attempt to read may end in death

"He was doing a trick with a manticore...and everything went wrong."

Isn't that kind of what happened to Siegfried and Roy?

I wonder if this background we've been given about Trixie's past, especially Trixie not knowing who her mother is, might end up being important later on. :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

Suddenly, the sound of an elephant trumpet echoed from deep within the purse.

Matilda has an elephant in her purse. :twilightoops:

Standing in front of her was a pair of children: a boy and a girl. The boy had fair skin, brown hair, and was dressed in a green jacket and jeans. The girl had fair skin, sandy brown hair, and was dressed in a pink jacket and white pants. "Mummy, what's wrong?" asked the girl.
Donna started to back away. "No...it can't be. You can't be here. You never existed!" Donna snapped.

Standing before Donna was a white space suit. The interior of the helmet was pitch black and all she could see inside was a vibrant human skull. The creature reached its arms forward and began approaching her. "Hey! Who turned out the lights?!" asked the creature in an eerie, terrifying voice that sent chills through Donna's body. "Hey! Who turned out the lights?!"

Donna's imaginary children and the Vashta Nerada possessed spacesuit from “Silence in the Library”/ “Forest of the Dead”!

"The Moment has come." He reached his hooves towards the red button on top of the box. "Great men are forged in fire. It is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame. Whatever the cost." The Doctor clutched the button. "Whatever the cost."

"The Day of the Doctor"

It was a woman. A woman he had seen before and yet did not know. She had vibrant, red hair and a young, fierce face. Her eyes, strangely, kept switching between sharp green and mysterious yellow. "It's time to wake up, Raggedy Man," she said with a smile.

"Okay! Fine! She told me to wake up and she called me Raggedy Man. Odd name, I must say."
"...Oh."

Amy Pond once again reaches from the future to save the Doctor from psychological torment. And Matilda seems to be familiar with her. Hmmm.

Lot of callbacks in this episode. And we continue to move ever so slightly forward. Can't wait for more. Keep up the good work. :pinkiehappy:

Well if Martha and Jack where in this story....

Oh dang, that actually explains why Discord Whooves wants the Doctor's TARDIS.

Now sitting in front of the group was an old, rusted wheelchair. It appeared to be taken straight out of a 1970's horror film. Sitting in the chair was a glass doll about the size of a toddler. It had sharp, blue eyes; long, blonde hair; and was dressed in a Victorian outfit. Part of its face was cracked and its smile was curved into a permanent smile.

"...I'm Annabelle," the doll replied, its face remaining frozen as it spoke.

That's the creepy doll from The Conjuring. :pinkiegasp: I never saw that movie. I should probably. I read on a Catholic blog somewhere that Ed and Lorraine Warren were named like the foremost experts on demonology outside the clergy by the Vatican or something. :scootangel: Anywho, my only question is whether you had always intended to have Annabelle randomly show up here or is it merely because you were given the idea to include Annabelle because of the trailer for the upcoming film Annabelle that you featured in you blog a couple of days ago?

Clap clap. :pinkiecrazy:

The cloister bell. Doesn't that indicate that there's something wrong with the fabric of space and time itself?

"No." The Doctor shook his head. "This isn't a TARDIS anymore, Donna." He looked at the caged control console before looking upwards at the wire-filled ceiling of the console room. "It's a paradox machine!"

Well that explains that. So Discord Whooves turned his own TARDIS into a paradox machine like The Master did to The Doctor's TARDIS. He means to obliterate Equestria's future! :twilightoops:

Is it me or is there something fishy about Flash Sentry here?

Nice to Zecora again.

It appears you made a really good effort with her rhyme.
But with practice it can only improve over time. :raritywink:

I wonder what Discord Whooves wants to do with the Elements of Harmony. I still think this is still related somehow with how Thalia will be born.

Anyway, this was great, and I look forward to seeing more of this preferably sooner rather than later. Keep up the good work. :pinkiehappy:

Cyberman Shining Armor is a bitt of a mouth full, why not just call him Cyning Armor?

She returned a moment later, pushing a large white tub of water in front of her. A series of electrical wires ran about the interior and exterior of the tub and a large monitor was attached to the front. The water inside the tub was milky white and gave off the odor of hospital sanitizer.

The Flesh? Wait is this the same tub that was in the caves in the last episode?

Her eyes widened. No....no, no, no! Please tell me this isn't going where I think it is! she thought with panic.

Oh I think it is. :twilightoops:

Twilight could only shake her head and breath deeply as she looked at Discord Whooves's creation and saw...herself.

Discord Whooves's smile grew wider as he stared down at her, a sinister gleam flashing from deep within his soulless eyes. "I'll name you...Thalia!"

I knew it! I knew this was one of Thalia's memories from Episode 7. I knew Discord Whooves kidnapping the Mane 6 was to create her. I knew it!

I was joyfully surprised to see this update so quickly, but then it turned out to be the last chapter of this episode. :yay::fluttershysad: So this was the second part of this four part finale you got going on. So we're about halfway there. So many questions remains. Will Discord Whooves get the Elements of Harmony? Will Trixie and her cohorts find Opal? Will the Doctor uncover Discord Whooves' ultimate plan? I guess I'll just have to tune in next time. I can't wait. Keep up the great work. :pinkiehappy:

Oh man, I am gonna have SO much fun adapting this episode for the audio drama!

The only thing to describe how I feel. :heart::rainbowlaugh::pinkiehappy:

"She'll be fine, Spike. One Twilight Sparkle is capable enough but now there's two of them." He said before freezing for a moment. "Come to think of it, that thought frightens me a bit."

Yes Doctor, you should be afraid, very afraid.

Hang on a minute! How can a Cyberman copy Shining Armor's voice perfectly?! It's bloody impossible! Isn't it?

Wait a minute, hold on. Dagger+Tea+Insane=Cupcakes Pinkie! :pinkiegasp:

:pinkiegasp: Wait a minute!

Leading the pack was a weeping pegasus she knew all too well. "YOU CAN'T BE HERE! IT"S IMPOSSIBLE! NO! NOOOO! It was then that Colgate broke away from the group and ran off into one of the tunnels. "RUN! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! DON'T BLINK!"

Oh no, anything but Weeping Pegasai!

"A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma," Twilight replied with a snort.
"I thought that was Russia."
"What?"

I don't get it.

"Indeed. There are far more important issues to deal with right now," said Luna with a nod. "Starting with: is that Daring Do standing right next to you?"

:rainbowlaugh:

The Doctor turned to Derpy, Spike, and Daring and quickly noticed Spike's worried expression. "She'll be fine, Spike. One Twilight Sparkle is capable enough but now there's two of them." He said before freezing for a moment. "Come to think of it, that thought frightens me a bit."

:rainbowlaugh: Oh, Doctor. You should be more than frightened. You shouldn't even be terrified. You should be petrified with fear! The Multiverse as we know it will fall!

Also, yay! More Oswald-who's-going-to-be-turned-into-a-dalek!

Donna was shivering violently as if she were wrapped in ice. Her eyes were dark blue and icy, golden steam was emanating from them. Donna opened her mouth and spoke in a voice that resembled that of many people talking at once. "The Truth lies with the guilty below; friend returns as does foe. Fire and Temple face the Sun above; everyone fights and everyone loves. The tormented double chooses its fate; hurry to the Rainbow before it's too late. Through the Hour of the Doctor there will be nowhere to hide; a terrible choice will be taken in stride. The Night will rise and a matriarch will fall; the Element of Magic will heed the call. The time shall come for the battle to be won; but be careful for the impossible has only just begun." Donna's eyes instantly returned to normal and she took in a loud breath of air before falling forward onto the floor.

Okay, I haven't continued, I'm stopping here to see if I can decipher this riddle. Going in order of what's in bold:

1) "Tormented double" I assume is Discord Whooves.

2) The 'r' is capitalized, meaning it's either Rainbow Dash or its a place called Rainbow. Maybe Rainbow Falls?

3) "The Night will rise and a matriarch will fall:" "Night" is to Luna as a matriarch is too... don't say it's to Celestia and Luna's reign because that would mean Celestia is no longer in power or Luna isn't and that line is contradicting itself.

4) "The Element of Magic will heed the call." Blunt much? We all know the Element of Magic is Twilight, but it could be referring to her human self since she's an alternate version of unicorn Twilight. Just an idea.

Now, I think I'm done. Everything else seems self explanitory.

4666295 well, I'm still alive... I think.

Donna shook slightly. "Okay, can you stop doing that? It's starting to get a bit creepy."

The Doctor, Matilda, and Clockwork shared a devious grin before saying, "Absolutely, Donna!"

Me and my friend, right there!

The Doctor turned his attention to the large pit of blue fire situated a few feet away. Despite being so close to the flames, the Doctor felt next to no heat. If anything, he actually felt a bit colder.

I was wondering when the sub-zero flames would come.

"Just keep going down then?" Colgate asked as she approached the Doctor's side.

"I hope we find something soon," Clockwork stated to Donna. "I don't want to stay down here longer than we have to. Something just doesn't feel right."

You mean other than the cold fire?

"No more. No more. No more," the Doctor mumbled as he stared out at the scene before him. The Doctor no longer saw himself within the Crystal Caverns. He was now in the middle of a burning city. Dalek troops rained down from the sky. Men, women, and children ran for safety. The Doctor especially focused on the children. Oh, the children. "There's no other way. It must all fall. No more. No more."

Nuuuuuu! That's just so friggen' great! How can you best "The Day of the Doctor"?

Suddenly, the world around him began to ripple like a disturbed pond. A human hand suddenly came out of nowhere and clutched the Doctor's hooves. It was fair-skinned and feminine in nature. The Doctor turned to his guest. It was a woman. A woman he had seen before and yet did not know. She had vibrant, red hair and a young, fierce face. Her eyes, strangely, kept switching between sharp green and mysterious yellow. "It's time to wake up, Raggedy Man," she said with a smile. She had an incredibly noticeable Scottish accent.

Now I know how you can best your "The Day of the Doctor" reference.

"A giant fish named Jim?" Clockwork suggested.

"That could be a possibility," said the Doctor with a head tilt.

"You don't even know," chuckled Matilda under her breath.

Forshadowing!

The only thing I ever liked about Clara was the whole Impossible Girl plot...Well, that and her periodic spat with the TARDiS. It just seems like the producers are trying too hard to make a "perfect" companion for what is possibly the final Doctor. Of course, she came after Amy Pond, and that is a tough act to follow. Capaldi could tell you about tough acts to follow.

...I have no idea where this thought just came from, but has anyone ever considered the frankly terrifying idea of a Doctor played by John De Lancie?

6805199
With Clara, they wanted to show what happens when a companion becomes too much like the Doctor. And who better to tell a story like that with than the companion who was there for the 50th anniversary?

And, in my opinion, it was Amy who had a tough act to follow being the companion to come after Donna (my personal all-time favorite companion). I liked Amy but she's not in my Top 5.
