The Whoovius Project

Chapter III: Back from the Dead

Doctor Whooves got off the train and started running towards his home as fast as he could. He had figured that Celestia hadn’t got the body to his house yet so he had enough time to get everything ready for what was to come.

As soon as they both got off the train, Fluttershy flew off to gather the other Elements of Harmony and bring them to Whooves’ house. He knew he was going to need all the power he could get to power this device. He knew Ponyville didn’t have much spare power, not enough to fully power his machine.

That wasn’t his main concern at the moment however, his main concern was getting back to his house as fast as he could so he could prepare everything for what was to come.

He needed to make sure that everything was in the right place, all the medicine were in the correct syringes, all of his medical equipment was where he left it. He was going down his mental checklist as he was running home. But he knew everything was ready for tonight. Of course he was going to double check everything just to make sure.

Thankfully his house wasn’t too terribly far from the train station so he made it back just in time to get started on making the final preparations. This was going to either make or break him, he could either make a ginormous breakthrough in the history of science, or make the biggest fool of himself ever. Either way, he will happily take that risk if it meant fulfilling his father’s dream.

When he entered his house he looked around to make sure nothing was out of place, thankfully it wasn’t so he carried on with his mental checklist. He walked over to a rug that he quickly through aside to uncover a trapdoor. Opening it, he proceeded down carefully to make sure he fall or worse break something.

After he was four hooves on the ground he walked to the very far end of the room past all the control panels and shiny dials.

“After so long I finally get to prove to somepony like the princess I am a true scientist,” Whooves said outloud feeling proud. “Not only that, I will bring back a pony that meant so much to many other ponies!”

“Of course I’m not doing this for only myself but for the greater good,” Doctor Whooves said reassuring himself.

He walked over to his machine and made sure everything was ready. After checking all the needles, making sure the chamber where Twilight’s body will be is ready, he was sure he was ready to go. Of course, the last thing he needed, was a power source, which is on its way.

“I think everything is ready to go for tonight, don’t you think father?” Doctor Whooves said as he walked over to his desk which wasn’t far from the machine and look at an old picture of his family.

“I will not let you down, I promise,” Whooves said as he walked towards the door that lead upstairs.

Just as he closed the door behind him, there was a knock on his door that slightly startled him. He quickly rushed over to the door and opened it. He was slightly scared to see two royal guards in front of him, but he calmed down once they started to talk to him.

“Excuse me Mr. Whooves but we are here to drop off the package to you,” one of the Royal Guards said as they both waited at the door to be let in.

Whooves knew what they were talking about. “Ah yes thank you. Please, come in!” Whooves said walking aside to let the two guards inside.

Both guards walked inside and looked for a place to drop the package. One of the guard’s horns lit up and right in front of Doctor Whooves was the body of Twilight inside a body bag.

“Thank you very much, I promise I won’t let both of you down!” Whooves said looking up and smiling.

Both of the guards bowed and walked out of his house and closed the door behind him. Whooves took the body downstairs and placed it on a medical table that wasn’t far from his machine. Before he brought the body back to life, he wanted to make sure the body was ready.

Whooves removed the body bag and placed Twilight’s body on the medical table. Her body was cold and lifeless, it send a horrible shiver down Whooves’ spine as he inspected the body.

After getting over himself, he began inspecting the body to see if anything may needed alteration. As he remembered from Fluttershy telling him, there was the stab mark on the side of her body.

“Goodness, looks even worse than I originally imagined it,” Whooves said. “But thankfully, I already had a solution to this.”

Whooves walked over to the wall right next to the doctor’s table and pressed a button that was on it. Above the medical table, two arms lowered down with what looked like a giant syringe but at the end wasn’t a needle, it was a steel ring. On the top of both of the arms were two fuses that looked like it was powering the giant device. The syringe part of the device was glowing red inside as well.

“Let’s heal that wound shall we?” Whooves walking over to the device. He reached up and grabbed it and held it close to the scar on the side of Twilight. There was a handle between the steel arms of the device which Whooves pulled backwards unleashing an ominous red mist from the steel ring at the end of the device.

Within seconds, the scar on Twilight’s side was completely gone and looked like it was fully healed.

“IT WORKS!” Whooves screamed in joy. “Well at least I completed one scientific breakthrough today.”

After finishing that, Doctor Whooves rolled the body over to his device. He opened up the chambers and placed Twilight’s body inside of it. After closing it and shutting it tight, he heard another knock on this door.

“That must be the other elements of harmony!” Whooves said as he rushed over to his door and he emerged from it and walked over to his front door.

After opening the door, he was greeted by Fluttershy and her friends, all having mixed looks on their faces.

“I think you forgot to tell us where you live Mr. er, Doctor Whooves,” Fluttershy said looking embarrassed.

Doctor Whooves felt bad for a second. “Oh I’m sorry, I must have.”

Rainbow Dash flew up and got right in his face after I said that. “You better be able to bring back Twilight! Or I swear I’ll make sure you’ll never be able to invent again!”

Doctor Whooves had a really scared look on his face after what he had just witnessed.

“Miss… Rainbow Dash,” took Doctor Whooves a second to fully remember her name. “I have put many, many years into my life into this project I’m working on. I understand how you feel right now, but posing such a threat like that makes me not want to do this.

“Do you really think I might not be able to bring back you friend? I have full confidents in myself that I can do this. However if you don’t, then you can just turn around and march right back home!”

Rainbow Dash went absolutely silent after what he had just said. “You realize you need me to help with this so called, power source?”

“Then shut up, and follow me,” Whooves said turning around and walking inside. The rest of them were all giving Rainbow Dash a stink eye as they walked into Whooves’ house.

“Seeing as all of you were wearing your special pendants makes me happy to know you all are ready. Now, over there is the entrance to my secret lab. I request all of you head down there but please file down one by one!” Whooves said walking over to his trapdoor and going down first.

As everypony filed down into his lab. They all looked in awe at all of his gadgets and gizmos.

“Please refrain from touching anything but if you feel the need to, just for a second,” Whooves said walking over to his master device.

“OOOHH, I WANNA TOUCH THIS!!” Pinkie Pie said jumping on a giant figure rocket ship Whooves had hanging from the wall. She started to swing back and forward on it.

Whooves looked at her and did a facehoof. “Please miss, we must begin this operation ASAP,” Whooves said looking over at this machine.

“Okay, so what does all of this do?” Pinkie Pie said appearing behind the machine.

Whooves looked at his then back at the figure rocket ship then back at her. “How did you? You know what, I don’t even wanna to know.”

Pinkie hopped down from his device and joined the rest of her friends as Doctor Whooves was about to give his directions.

“Now, I need a power source strong enough to power my device which will bring Twilight back. I won’t go into the science on my device, however I will say that if everything is right, which I know for fact it is, then Twilight will be reunited with us,” Whooves said looking at his machine.

“Are you for sure Mr. Whooves?” Rarity said.

Doctor Whooves turned around and look her right in the eyes. “Yes, I am sure. And it’s Doctor Whooves by the way.” Whooves said as he turned back around.

Rarity didn’t even respond to what he just said, it was slightly scary however.

“Alright, preparations are now complete! Are you all ready?” Whooves turned around and asked.

“We’re ready!” all five of them said in unison. “Alright, start it up, now!”

Applejack placed Twilight’s element in the centre of them as they all gathered around in a circle. Her element of harmony start to glow as so did the rest of them around the crown. All five of their pendants glowed to the point of blinding as all of them started to lift into the air.

“Ah, think it’s workin’!” Applejack said as she started to lift up into the air.

“This is perfect!” Doctor Whooves said as he flipped a switch right next to him. A small panel opened up in the machine revealing a tesla coil. “Fire all the energy here!”

All of their eyes glowed white as a ball of energy formed in the centre of the five ponies, they were almost ready to fire.

“Fire in 3, 2,

“1!”

…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

All around her seemed like nothingness, no ending, no beginning. After looking around, the only thing she could tell was that she wasn’t in afterlife anymore and that she might be coming back.

“What, what’s going on?” she said as she couldn’t bare her surroundings. It was, nothing. Nothing could be seen, heard, smelled, just… nothing.

“How, how do I get out?” the lavender unicorn spoke as she just started walking. Eventually, a little white dot appeared right in front of her. It grew bigger and bigger as she walked towards it.

“Twilight…” something said.

“Who’s there?” Twilight said looking around.

“Twilight…” it said again.

“Show yourself!!” Twilight said getting into a battle stance.

The dot that she previously saw got much closer to her. It formed to be about four times the size of her, and there seemed to be a picture in it.

Inside the white dot, seemed to what look like, Ponyville! However the picture seemed to close up on a certain house, that didn’t look to far from Twilight’s house at all.

“Is that, Doctor Whooves’ house?!” Twilight said looking surprised. For a split second, the picture changed to a scene inside Whooves’ house, with all of her friends about to fire that load of energy right into the device that was going to bring her back.

“Is that, me? Where, where am I anyway?” Twilight said looking at her dead body inside that machine.

“It’s time, to return, to the over world,” ‘it’ said again.

“I, get to go back?” Twilight said with happiness, and for once tears in her eyes.

“Yes.”

Twilight had no words to say to whatever was talking to her. But she did have one final question to ask it.

“Just tell me, where am I?”

“…Your spirit, isn’t totally gone from the over world…” with that said, Twilight was sucked into the dot that was displaying the picture of Whooves’ house.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The burst of energy hit the machine’s tesla coil spot on. The machine’s power started to skyrocket to the point of being one-hundred percent within a matter of seconds.

Doctor Whooves very happy pressed a button on his machine that activated his creations.

The machine came to life as all the needles inside stuck themselves inside Twilight and started to pump the medicine inside of her. All throughout the chambers, electrical shocks when through the chamber and inside of Twilight, to hopefully reviver her heart.

This went on for several seconds as it finally ceased. The five ponies were sitting on the ground exhausted as can be waiting for the result of what will happen. Doctor Whooves looked inside to see if anything looked out of the ordinary, nothing did.

He then opened the chamber doors to let fresh air inside. Everypony was silent, so silent you could hear each other’s heartbeat.

“Mmmm,” something said.

They looked around at each other and shook their heads. Then they heard it again.

“Mmmmm,” it was louder.

Doctor Whooves peaked inside the chamber one more time. He looked at Twilight right in the eyes, as they started to slowly, but surely, open.
