Over the years, Coltimore had modernized quite a bit, so that ponies could still live under endless night.

The skyscrapers were everywhere, covered in Neon lights; high above the ground were bridges and overhead roads wich made up most of the Changeling part of the city, while ponies lived on the ground, in the gutter-like neighbourhoods.

Pony crime had risen high, at least three murders being commited weekly. Families were forced to live in single rooms, usually shared with other families.

Every night, ponies would be forced into containment units, where changelings could feed freely.

This drain of love caused many premature deaths, and it was hard to trust anypony, as sometimes Changelings would come down to feed the old classic way.

 

'Twas one of these bleak nights when it started.

A poster, featuring a blue box had been put up in the metro station of Light mare avenue.

At first, not many ponies noticed it, but eventually they were spread all over the city, all featuring the same message.

"Revolution."

This is when the rumor of a mysterious group of rebels arose, lead by a pony called "the Doctor."

Normally, the Changelings would ignore something like this, but the name of that stallion seemed to arouse a certain fear in them.

So the patrols started.

Changelings would inspect all buildings every night and would beat up or arrest anypony they thought was with the "Revolution."

But no matter what they tried, they never caught anypony.

It seemed like "The Doctor" could be everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

 

It was one of these nights it happened.

It was one of these nights the Revolution started.

[Prince Lightning Da Cute 619]

"I will never give in.." thought the Young Prince as he walked through town. He was forgotten and a object of blame aswell. Celestia & Luna's locations were unknown and Princess Cadence had fled. Prince was the last of the royal family. He had fled Canterlot before its fall, the last he saw of it was the horrible screams of changelings but his mother told him to never look back. He may have been an Alicorn but he was a blank flank, young and still had a lot to learn. But he promised to himself that he would restore the royal family.

 

He hated how things went, changelings feeding as they would. They would avoid him, all the love and happiness he had before had been replaced with sorrow and a bleak hope. When he heard of the revolution, he sought after the Doctor. Looking for days upon days of searching, his last hope was the doctor. Finally after a turn around a corner, prince saw the brown pony. He followed him into a safe alley and finally said something he wanted to say since he saw the poster..... "Doctor?"

[Doctor Whooves™ 332]

In the darkness of the alley, the brown pony turned and smiled.

He hadn't changed one bit, with his green tie and well-kept mane.

He nodded his head so to say 'Follow me' and ran off into a busy street.

[Pencil J. Doodle 242]

(well, imma' post what i think is right)

 

"Pencil J. Doodle's log. Date unknown, year unknown."

"As you know from some of my previous entries, a race of powerful shape shifters known as 'Changelings' have dominated the land. Of course, this makes very little difference to me; i've been living on the streets for several years now. But countless lives... innocent lives... have been lost due to this dictatorship."

"I've been saying this for months now, but i promise; i will reverse this take over, even if it's the last thing i do. i'll make those monsters pay for every drop of blood that has been shed. i'll make them pay for every bruise to have arisen on pony flesh. But mostly, i'll make them pay... for messing with me."

 

"You see, that mare i've been writing about... i've lost track of her. I don't know if she's alive or dead... i'm not sure i want to know. All hope just seems lost. I need that colt i drove away years ago. I need that colt who helped me battle my oldest demons. I need... a Doctor."

 

"Pencil Doodle out. And Twilight, wherever you may be... i love you..."

 

Pencil was just writing his latest Log entry; he always does it as a way of keeping track of his 'accomplishments'. Ever since the Changeling take over, Pencil has been scared. Scared for his life, but also scared because of his inabiltiy to change things. He's always taken crime into action, but this is just too big for any mere mortal to handle alone... and even Pencil has his limits.

 

After hiding his notebook in a pocket sewn onto his cloak, pencil set out into the dark streets, praying not to be seen.

But a certain poster caught his eye. The pictures where nothing special, but the words on it were. In big bold letters, the poster read; The Doctor

 

(wow, i had no idea how long this post would be)

[Prince Lightning Da Cute 619]

Prince received the signal and followed in close pursuit. "It is the doctor! The revolution may actually be real!" prince thought to himself. As his love for adventure started to grow, he received more and more looks from passing changlings. "They can sense it?!" prince panicked "No, I must hold my feelings in. This could easily be an imposter! I can't show Any love at all!" it was against Prince's nature to withhold love but he hadn't been fed on yet and he didn't want to start today.

[Midnightive 458]

Ivy was walking home. The long walks she started taking made her feel free in this world. She was taking the long walk home. She didn’t really want to get back there anytime soon. She wondered I Wonder what happened to Prince… and the doctor.

 

Back while the changelings took over. She lost the site of Prince and could never find him again. She stopped in front of a poster, a smile crept on her face. This blue box she known and love was there for all to see. She looked up at the sky “Oh doctor… I’m going to find you”

 

She walked following the way she thought the doctor would be.

[Doctor Whooves™ 332]

The Doctor zigzgged in between the crowd, and turned into an alleyway, dissapearing.

As much as he wanted to bring him with him, it was still to risky to get Prince to tag along yet.

But he had seen him. He knew he was there.

He had led him, without Prince knowing, to Ivy's house.

The spark that would start it all.

He activated the TARDIS and dissapeared, as it made the classic wirring noise.

 

...

 

That night, something incredible happened.

A number of ponies had claimed to have seen a blue box, similar to the ones on the posters, appear and dissapear all over the lower levels of Coltimore.

Others reported seeing an elusive brown stallion walking in secondary alleyways, and on further inspection, they recognized him as the 'Good Wizard' appearing in several ancient Equestrian fairy tales.

The Changelings also recognized the pony, but seemed afraid of revealing who he was.

The message was clear, though.

The revolution has started.

[That One Techpriest You Used To Know 2,286]

Cloud Drifter had escaped the changelings again. He had just come out of a beserker rage to escape them, and he was tired. He was walking down a well known alleyway when he saw a blue box with windows. A brown pony stepped out. Cloud Drifter was startled. "H-hello?" he said, before he stuffed a hoof in his mouth.

[Pencil J. Doodle 242]

After having a good stare at the poster, Pencil decided to dismiss it and walk on.

But the thoughts still crept in his head: The Doctor? as in... The Doctor? If it really were the doctor that Pencil was thinking of, then his wish would've been granted.

 

Pencil almost didn't forget about those mysterious words, but then he saw an unusual sight: a blue box. Pencil recognized this structure; it was The Doctors method of time travel. This confirmed that The Doctor was in fact here and probably trying to save the land.

Pencil ran up to the box with all his might, but before he could reach it, it de-materialized. He slid to where the box was standing, but no traces of it remained.

 

Pencil began to smash the ground in frustration, and without thinking; began to scream. He didn't care who heard him (even changelings), just as long as the Doctor could hear him.

 

"DOCTOR!! I'M SORRY!! HELP ME!!"

[Doctor Whooves™ 332]

A bunch of ponies stared at Pencil, but quickly walked away when a changeling commander approached.

"Come with me."

He said, flatly.

 

---

 

The brown colt turned to Cloud Dreamer.

"Aha!"

He said,

"Just the pony I was looking for!"

He invited him to come inside, as he stepped to one side to let him in.

"I'm the Doctor. What's your name?"

He smiled.

[dar tunsh 446]

"Revolution..."

Draw Toonz said the word out loud, as he does whenever he thinks by himself. It was 2 years ago after the Changelings moved Draw away from Ponyville and his family to 'start a new life,' as they said. Of course what they meant by that is that I had become of appropriate breeding age. A stallion like himself would usually love to get with a mare, but the Changelings had turned it into an act as vile and disgusting as eating raw sewage.

 

"Ugh." Draw felt disgusted as he remembered the horrible facility he has had to go to twice now. He never considered rebelling, even with the strange magic he learned from Twilight's library a couple months before the Changelings attacked. Even when they took his family, fed on him, and forced him into the breeding facilities, he stayed strong for his family. But he noticed something strange about the revolutionary poster. That blue box. It was the Doctor's. He remembered seeing the strange earth pony before in Ponyville, and a few of the strange things that happened around said pony.

 

"I suppose I should find him, surely that crazy stallion's got something planned." Draw contemplated as he trotted off into the streets of Coltimore, looking for any sign of the Doctor.

[Twilicious 150]

Peeps walked slowly along the streets of Coltimore looking for more of the mysterious "Revolution" posters. She examined the nearest poster carefully, moving her face closer and farther away, feeling the texture of the paper beneath her hooves. Peeps grabbed the corner of the poster and ripped a small piece of the corner and popped it in her mouth. As she chewed she recorded everything she could in her log.

 

"Blue box. Tall. Seems like a phone booth. What use is a phone booth? Are we supposed to p[hone the revolution? The paper is high quality. It's thick, off white, and acid free. This is a good indication that the Revolution has powerful, or at the very least wealthy backers. To obtain this kind of paper and good quality ink they must have access to Changeling supply lines."

 

"Hmmm, I wonder if they would mind if I just took one of these with me." Peeps looked left and then right. She ripped one of the posters down and stuffed it quickly into her saddle bag as she continued her roaming of the street as she attempted to look innocent which actually amounted to her walking awkwardly as only someone who is thinking hard about how to do something that should be natural.

[Prince Lightning Da Cute 619]

Prince had blindly followed the doctor. After finally coming out the crowd he saw what he thought was the doctors hoof steps but it was really some other pony he knew. He trotted to a house he thought the doctor went into. "A secret hideout? A high class meeting house? A trap? Or just a regular house?......" Prince asked himself sitting on the steps. He knew what happened here would change his life but being logical and thinking things through has it's flaws. "What are you doing prince?" he thought to himself "How can the doctor help you get your friends and family back?" he say there and thought for a second. "How can you trust him? What if he's a changling?" he remembered the adventures he had with the doctor and Ivy, those summers partying with pinkie and the days when Celestia would teach him how to be ruler when he grew up. "The Doctor would never betray me, and he's the only friend I have left!" prince took a Derp breathe and opened the door.

[Pencil J. Doodle 242]

Pencil just sat there; Quietly. He was facing the ground with closed eyes, and was motionless with the feeling of defeat. He felt like he was about to start crying; he'd lost everything, and now he'd lost the Doctor, and maybe even his own life.

 

It was about 10 seconds until the commander repeated himself:

"... well?"

 

This stirred up rage in Pencils heart.

He slowly opened his eyes; revealing them to be glowing red, and soon his horn began glowing the same colour. He took a deep breathe, faced the changeling beast, and shouted in rage:

"AAARRRGGHH"

 

before anypony knew it, a bright beam of fiery energy blasted out of Pencils horn, and traveled toward the Commander.

Without checking to see if it hit, Pencil ran off into the distance; mumbling over and over again:

 

"Please help me Doctor"

[Doctor Whooves™ 332]

Peeps was approached by a changeling and it's friends, obviously looking for a pony to abuse.

"Hey, pony."

It practically spat the latter word out.

"What you got in your saddlebag? Anything we can use?"

Before she could protest, Peeps was snatched off her feet and toppled over, while the changelings looked through her stuff.

"A book? Oh, these aren't allowed to you. You're in trouble now."

One said with a smirk.

They froze.

They had found the poster.

"You.. you know... HIM."

One said, with a trembling voice.

The leader took hold of himself, and tried to attract a commander's attention.

"Hey! HEY!! This one had a poster! She's in the Revolution!!"

She was in trouble now.

 

---

 

A whole squadron of Changeling officers was after Pencil.

The punishment for killing a commander was much worse than death, and they knew it.

They didn't even bother with the "If you don't stop, you'll only make things worse" sharade.

There were only a few things that could have made it worse.

And he was about to do them all.

[Midnightive 458]

Ivy had gone back to her house, after her long walk. She was making dinner, she sighed. She made it and heard the door open. She blinked “Did I leave it open again?” she wondered. She went to the door to see a brown alicorn.

 

She stood there shocked and dropped her bowl. A smile came on her face while still shocked. She ran up to him “is…is it really you” she whispered.

[Pencil J. Doodle 242]

Pencil was still running, hoping for a miracle. He knew he was being chased by a group of his enemies, but he barely kept notice of them; he was too busy praying.

 

It wasn't long before Pencil came across a dead end, he barely managed to stop before he crashed into to brick wall. The Changelings were circling him, and he was being forced to back up against the wall. They began to pull out various weapons to bring 'control' to the situation, while Pencil was circling his mind, hoping an idea would pop up. Powerful magic was out of the question; firing that beam takes a lot of energy and he needs to recharge.

 

He tried talking to the officers, but all a barely understandable croaky noise:

 

"Killing me, just means i no longer have to fear you"

 

All he could do is stand there, orient his Pentagram necklace, and hope that hell isn't that bad. So he did

[Doctor Whooves™ 332]

Pencil closed his eyes, waiting for the sound of guns going off.

Instead, he heard a condusing wirring noise.

He opened his eyes.

The changelings were looking at him, dumbfounded.

No. Not at HIM. Behind him.

He turned to see a familiar brown stallion leaning on the porch of a blue phone box, reaching out his hoof.

"You coming?"

He said, smiling.

[Prince Lightning Da Cute 619]

"Ivy?" prince was stunned, "Why is she here, how did she escape? And where the flip did the doctor go?" He thought to himself. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "No pony knows who i love but it's better safe than sorry" he thought.

[Pencil J. Doodle 242]

Pencil was lost for words, but also running out of time. He quickly said:

"... greetings"

And jumped into the Tardis without second thought.

 

It had been a while since he last set foot in this machine. If i recall correctly, it was when he was fighting Ares with the Doc, but he'd be amazed if anyone remembered that long ago.

 

Pencil then began to sadden up, he wanted to hug The Doctor, but didn't want to appear weak:

"You came back, even after a threatened to kill you if i saw you again?"

[Midnightive 458]

Ivy looked at Prince its really him . She shook her head “I got out with a group of people all leaving together” she told him. She looked out the window “So you’ve seen the posters to then?” She asked.

[Prince Lightning Da Cute 619]

"Yea, I never saw you after this whole ordeal started." He shuffled his hoofs "Those posters, I think that doctor and our doctor are the same pony, but I'm not sure." prince said trying not look into her eyes. "Those bedtime eyes..... If she was a changling, She'd be fed for life! But I don't feel any pressure... Could this really be her?" a spark of hope lite in his heart.

[Doctor Whooves™ 332]

The Doctor closed the TARDIS door, and quickly dematerialized it.

"Of course I did, you're not th first one to threaten me. I get it on a daily basis."

He spun around, fiddling with the TARDIS controls.

"Oh, by the way, that pony in the corner is Cloud Dreamer. Could Dreamer, Pencil Doodle."

He waved a hoof at the stallion sitting in the corner.

The TARDIs stopped making the wirring noise, and he poked his head out of it.

He looked at Prince and Ivy.

"If you two are done having an akward conversation, we're set to go."

[Midnightive 458]

Ivy opened her mouth and nodded. She smiled at Prince and got in the TARDIS. “Good to know you never let a girl down” she laughed. She looked back at Prince and held at a hoof. She paused “It’s so good to see you again!

[Pencil J. Doodle 242]

Pencil began to look at his fellow Tardis passengers. He'd never been good working with others, and ponies have always had a habit of dying around him.

 

He awkwardly stared Cloud Dreamer in the eye and greeted himself to him:

"Nice to meet you, but i must warn you: I don't play well with others"
