Displaced: Crossing Roads

Chapter 1 Familiar Faces

A world of bleak existence is one we all know too well, ruled by those who say what right from wrong, where war and idiots run the way are dying world evolves, a world, which I knew all too well about. It was always cold, unbearable to live through, so I hid in shadows, locking myself away from the cold, as I greeted the darkness. Darkness....can't say I didn't welcome it, but I did suspect such an occurrence after my, more-than-dangerous-bet, to which, darkness was ironic, as it was bright as bald-man's head, in the summer back where i'm from. But 'where' I am concerns me more, as I did hear the sound of leaves rustling, and the calm, gentle wind, brushing through the holes in my clothing.

I finally decided to open my eyes, welcoming the bright, and clean world around me, even the air was clean, as the inhaled a large mouth of the precious resource, then I screamed in pain, as my eyes finally realized the yellow orb in the sky.

"Agh! son of a bitch! Me eyes!!!" I yelled, covering my face, feeling the cold, metal palm, gaze my skin, to which I looked towards my hand, blinking like an idiot, to which I was. "Well, i'll be dammed, i'm fucking Nox!"

Nox, or Noximillion, is a crazy time-manipulator from Wakfu, who was not only badass, but had some awesome armour too, as it noticed my bandaged body, with grey-sliver armour, dotting the majority of my body, with a massive hole in my chest, as it glowed a faint blue, next to my legs, was a mask, it was like a skull, with massive, blue eyes, black lines ran over the eyes, looking like gears, and cracked pieces along the jaw, it also had a rounded scalp, perfect for covering my black hair, still had my hair, good.

"So...this really is MLP? No fallout, no creepy Caribou, thank god," I sighed in relief, not wanting to be stuck in 'those' sort of worlds, but i digress, as I got to my feet, slipping the mask on as i decided to laugh, feeling excited for my first task. "This is gunna be fun!"

But before i decided to try my 'Badass' time abilities, I remembered something, something very important, that the colour in my face felt like it drained from my body, then I cried, not wanting to admit it.

"I lost the bet! Fuck me upside-down with a telephone pole!" I cursed, not realizing my fate, that's if I run into my companion again, wherever he is....then the town before me when 'Boom', or...'bang'....something like that

"Either i missed Discord, or something's going down in Pony town, ha! Rhyme..." I joked, as i really didn't care much for the danger, as this world's only real danger is bad marketing, and 'Equestria Girls'....not wanting that to happen again. "Right...now lets see...I just think of the place i want to warp to, and it should work...."

I decided to think of Sugarcube Corner, as it's the only bloody place that stood out, that and the library, so i focused, my mask's eyelids narrowing as i attempted to warp, feeling 'something' hum in my body, to the point it felt normal, like ive used it before, I wish.

After realizing that I was acting like an absolute retard, I stopped, and just decided to run towards the town, as I knew I could make it to the event, but with the armour, I felt slightly off balance, so I kept to a small jog, eventually making it to the village.

"Well...this place looks...empty?" I mumbled, but 'Empty' was irrelevant, more like deserted, as I passed different houses, which I saw the big eyes staring at me, to which the closed when I looked, so I just shrugged, and continued on my journey to Sugarcube Corner

But I stopped at the sound of frightened voices ahead, so I jogged up, and stopped at the rather 'violent' event before me, there were three timberwolves, all small and obviously hungry, as they circled the pony in the center, but that made me look more closely, my eyes narrowing once more.

It was a Bat-pony, which was uncommon, and a mare, her coat was a lightish grey, she had short, messy, purple hair, which went extremely well with her golden eyes, as they tried to stay calm in the fear that surrounded the road, to which I could see in her shaking legs, which caused a great deal of unknown anger to boil inside me, as I decided to have some 'Fun'.

"Hey! Why not take a bite out of me, you lumber-fucks!?" I yelled, grabbing the pack's attention, as they looked more angry with me than hungry, to which I laughed mockingly, feeling a sense of pride wash over my body. "What? Not a fan of my puns? Then come and get me!"

The left one replied, by leaping towards me, its teeth sharp, and crooked, but i just pulled my arm to my chest, and backhanded the mutt away, as it whimpered from the strike. The other two jumped, as I decided to try a move I loved from the show. I raised my hands to the sides of me, the ticking of a clock echoing from the motion, then in a quick motion, I pulled them to my chest, my fingers locking in an infinity symbol, as I spoke hollowly.

"Stop..."

As if on command, the world froze, the wind was silent, the roars of the three timberwolves were void, and the clouds hung in a motionless state, but I walked around the wolves, as the time-warp didn't affect me, to which I smiled under my mask, clapping my hands excitedly.

"You know, for my first time in this world, I sure do know how to make myself noticeable...meh." I shrugged, then I remembered that even with time in a frozen state, everything can still hear me, so I clicked my fingers, knowing how to pull off my next trick, as it wasn't rocket science

The world resumed, like I hit the un-pause button on my remote, as the wolves fell into a pile, wincing at the impact, to which I now stood beside the Bat-pony, as she looked from the wolves, then to me, to which I glanced down at her.

"Want to see another trick?" I asked jokingly, as she seemed to be quick on the uptake, as she nodded with a small smile, to which I cracked my knuckles, and I held my right arm to my side, as I imagined the clock arrow sword that Nox used, then, a blue light grew from the palm of my bandaged hand, as the giant, clock sword emerged into view

"Ok, wolves, we have a choice, you can turn and walk away....or I could-" I began, as I ran at such an alarming speed, that the wolf in the front, didn't have time to react to the massive blade, that swung through its head, splitting it in two. "Whoops! looks like i slipped, my bad!"

That made the other wolves back up, not wanting to be too close to me, good, so I turned to them, my head cocked to the side, as I slowly moved towards them, my blade trailing across the dirt road, as one decided to be brave, as it leapt towards me, snapping its jaws in my direction.

I may be slow back home, but even I could see 'that' coming, so I pulled the sword back with both hands, and in a swift swing, I smashed the whole length of the blade into the creature's body, the wood splitting, and cracking from the sheer force behind the weapon, even I was surprised, as I cut the beast in two-halves, the yellow sap, flew like blood.

"Got to admit, he was a 'cut' above the rest!" I joked, feeling myself break into a laughing fit at the terrible joke, so I calmed down, looking at the remaining wolf, its body in a defensive stance, as I glared back, my metal eyes narrowing in anger. "Leave. Before I feel like gutting you next."

It seems that the wildlife is smart in this world, as it quickly turned, and ran back for the Everfree, to which I sighed, quickly dropping the blade, as it slowly vanished from existence, then I dropped to my ass, resting my arms on my plated legs, then I noticed the Bat-pony fro, before, walking? trotting? over to me.

Her face flashed signs of fear, worry, and awe, as she checked out my entire body, to which I remarked.

"Liking the imagery?" I asked, as she snapped out of her gaze, diverting her eyes. Too fucking cute, what? Nothing wrong with complimenting Hasbro on their handiwork

"Sorry, I was just curious, after all, you beat three timberwolves without breaking a sweat!" She answered, to which I waved her off

"First off, I beat two, second, i'm still not used to this...power, and three, where in God's name, were the elements!?" I snapped at the last part, as she flinched, but I sighed. "Sorry...long day..."

"Well, first of all, thank you, for saving me," She spoke, as I nodded

"Not a problem, just be glad I still have some sanity," I replied, knowing that Erebus is 'far' less so. Maybe I could get some answers from her, or atleast make some allies whist i'm here, as humanity is one more Donald Trump speech from fucking us all to hell, so why not, might even meet the Mane 6, that would be fun!

"And...the elements, I don't know, I only just got here." She replied, as I tilted my head, I mean seriously? Day one, and she's already a target, quite funny actually, wait...why is she holding a hoof out at me? "Sorry, my name's Selene Night, nice to meet you..."

"Oh! Lumos Vitae, like the name, and the friendship, by the way!" I greeted, feeling slightly less awkward, as she smiled, then we noticed the stares from the now appearing townspeople, to which i let her hoof go, waving at the newcomers. "I'm not here to harm anyone! Just encase you were worried!"

This put a lot more pe-ponies at ease, as I got to my feet staring down at Selene, then I pointed ahead, seeing the very top of Sugercube Corner, feeling my stomach rumble slightly.

"How about we talk over some food, two centuries, and this body needs a source of junk food!" I joked, but this body seriously felt like it ate nothing but air for the last two centuries! Who does that!?

Even thought I was the talk, and the stare of the town, I couldn't help but worry for this world, as 'One' thought plagued my mind, more than the fact that the Trader from Resident Evil 4 was real, and that I was not stuck in a world filled with ponies, or the fact that the Multiverse was real.

"Duh fuck is Erebus!?"
