Words of a Displaced

In the city of Canterlot, Princess Celestia stood out on her balcony, looking at the beautiful land of Equestria. Her beauty shone in the sunlight as she smiled brightly, most ponies say that she was unobtainable as a mate and the legendary pokemon agreed with that. His name was Lord Suicune, former ruler of the Displaced. He had been in Equestria for five months now and yet he wondered why Celestia had allowed him to stay? But regardless of the reason he has come to see her as a friend. Maybe even more.

“Celestia is there something wrong?” He asked, walking next the Sun Princess before sitting beside her. She couldn’t help but let out a sigh before turning to the displaced Pokemon.

“There’s nothing wrong Suicune, I was just wondering what lays in the future for the changeling race now that it’s under a new ruler.” She explained to him.

“Right, I believe the new ruler’s name is Thorax. He’s definitely changed since I saw him at the Crystal Empire.” Suicune said as Celestia nodded in response.

“Indeed he has as well as the rest of his kind. All except one of course…”

“Chrysalis, yes I know, she’s still at large, but I can promise you that we’ll find her.” Suicune stated while placing his paw on her shoulder. She couldn’t help but smile back at her friend as a red tint of blush appeared on her cheeks.

“I know you will, but I fear what will happen if you do find her…”She said, turning towards the displaced who simply sighed.

“Celestia, I’ve been through hell and back deep within the Displaced and even though the scars from there remain, I’ll still continue to fight for what’s right.” He said, confidently as he smiled at the Sun Princess. “I promise that nothing bad will happen. Starlight and Sweetie Belle have agreed to go with me.”

After reassuring her, he gave her a friendly hug before saying goodbye, he soon left to find Chrysalis, leaving Celestia alone with her thoughts. ‘Suicune, please be safe… I love you.’


Whitetail Woods

“Urgh… How long until we arrive at this… Ship of yours?!” Chrysalis demanded as breathed heavily while Tartarus rolled his eyes at his new queen.

“The two of us should arrive at the sanctuary soon. ” He replied as he grinned at the changeling. The two have managed to make it to Whitetail Woods, destroying any Timberwolves or Manticores in sight. Although Chrysalis did wonder what was the brutes history with draconequus.

“Tartarus what is your history with Discord? Why did he lock you away?” She asked as the Jiralhanae paused before turning his head slightly towards the changeling.

“It’s a long story… There was a time when I wasn’t like this… A time where I was normal. I was an average human with the desire to make a difference in the world, but all of that changed when I had a dream of a mysterious being who offered me a chance to make the world different. And like a fool I trusted him and became this, leading a fleet with warriors to obey my beck and call. Eventually I made my way here to Equestria that was when I met the Prophet Discord.”


1000 Years Ago

“Tartarus we are approaching an unknown planet… Should we land ?” An Unggoy said turning towards the Chieftain who simply nodded in response. “All troops prepare yourselves as we enter the atmosphere.”

“We shall see if the inhabitants are capable of assisting us in returning us to Earth… I can’t stand being here in space anymore.” Tartarus growled as the Unggoy and Jiralhanae took a few steps back from the chieftain, frightened about what he may do if angered.

By the time the supercarrier had made it past the atmosphere something strange had occurred on the monitors. A small red dot was approaching their ship at rapid speed. “Sir there’s unknown object approaching our ship at an alarming rate. Should we prepare to fire?”

“No! I shall see what this thing is personally and dispose of it with my bare hands!” He growled as he lifted his hammer up and placed it on his shoulder.

By the time they had exited the ship they noticed a strange creature standing on the outside of it. He had a multiple different body parts from various different creatures and while he was thin he resembled a serpent with chaotic abilities. “Good morrow, gents! It’s a pleasure to meet you all. I’m Discord. So what bring you all here?”

“We have traveled far across the galaxy and we seek to find our home Earth!” He growled at the draconequus who only grinned at the brute. Tartarus couldn’t put his finger on it, but something about this being felt ancient and powerful.

“Oh, I can help you and your people, but before you do. All of you have to do something for me.” Discord said with a smirk, with a snap of his fingers a map soon appeared in front of them. “You see I am in need of your assistance in disarming Equestria’s royal guard. That way we can conquer all of Equestria with no issues.”

“We?” Tartarus asked.

“Yes after all I’m sure your people are anxious to conquer another world? Is that not why you’re here?” He asked and even though Tartarus and his people have glassed other planets, yet he was inclined to listen to the draconequus.

“I suppose we can help?” Tartarus replied, still unsure, but soon with a snap of his fingers, Discord appeared next to the brute.

“Now Tartarus I know you may have trust issues, but I can promise you that if you help me, I’ll guarantee that your people will rule this world with me!” He whispered as he placed a finger over the brutes head, slowly warping the Jiralhanae mind.

“Of course Prophet Discord.” He said bowing to the draconequus.


Present Time

“Now you know how the two of us met! Ever since then my people have battled the ponies for nearly a decade with ease. After that Discord promised to that once we awaken my people will have created a new world order. What’s worse is that a part of me knew something was up with that deceiver Discord and I failed to follow my instincts, but no more! I promise you Chrysalis… Once I’ve freed my clan I’ll help you reclaim your stolen kingdom. After that we’ll destroy Discord.” Tartarus promised the changeling queen who couldn’t help but give a genuine smile. Which was rare for the changeling queen.

‘Perhaps there’s still hope for me and my people. Tartarus is a reliable ally and if his armies are truly as powerful as he claimed then not only will I be in command of my hive, but our alliance will grant us ultimate power… and possibly the beginning of a new race of Changelings~’ As the two made their way through whitetail woods, Tartarus failed to notice the pink blush adorning the changeling queen's cheeks
