//------------------------------// // Prologue : The Con (Edited by Space-Timecontinuum) // Story: The Displaced Brothers // by Erik_The_Shitposter //------------------------------// I look around the packed convention, many people dressed as their favorite video game or cartoon character, other just walking around browsing merchandise on the marketplace, taking photos with cosplayer or ogling Trace’s thick butt. I’m one of the cosplayers along with my brothers Let me introduce myself, my name is Erik Ricki-voc but you can call me Erik the youngest of the bunch. Currently, I’m wearing a yellow jacket with a white shirt underneath it, a black bowtie on my neck and black pants, shoes, and gloves, and an eye patch By now most of you can guess what I am cosplaying as, that’s right the one and only Bill Cipher self-proclaim dream demon and master of minds from Gravity Fall, the human version of it of course not the yellow Dorito one I bought the costume at Amazon but for some reason, the seller forgot to add the cane, so here I am at the con with 300 bucks in my pocket looking for someone who sells the missing piece for my costume I felt someone nudge my shoulder, turning around I see my older brother Charlie dressed as Asriel Dreemurr the god of Hyperdeath from the game Undertale, his outstretched hand pointed at one of the stall selling all kind of merchandise “Hey bro I’m going to browser some stuff, might find something cool. You wanna come with?” “Yeah, sure might as well buy a cane for myself” “Hey wait up, I promised mom to keep an eye on you two” said someone cosplaying as Noximilien the strongest Xelor and the main villain in Wakfu series. “can’t have two troublemakers wandering all by themselves do we?” his voice is almost the same as the English dubbed Nox thanks to a voice changer on his mask David is the oldest of us three, he always kept us in check and if we ever get in trouble he can bail us one way or another, even if he has to outrun the police. We walked toward the vendors that lined up perfectly. Different stands sell differently themed of merchandise ranging from animes, cartoons, video games, and many more. One of them is selling mercs from that show literally getting swarmed by a bunch of dudes wearing shirts with a pastel colored pony After a half of hours of wandering around later, we came across a stand that has the perfect cane for my costume, so I walk there. My brothers look like something caught their eyes from the same stand so we march toward it “Greeting traveler, how may I help you?” the Merchant said, I called him Merchant because he’s wearing the same merchant costume from Resident Evil 4 I look around the stall, there’s a lot of stuff from different shows and video game but the one that I was looking for is Bill Cipher’s cane, but something caught my attention. A thick red book with golden hand and the number ‘3’ imprinted on it “How much for the cane and the journal?” I asked, pulling out my wallet “And the souls?” Charlie asked pointing at seven glass jars that lined up that contain different colored heart shaped object. “And the Eliacube plus that sword?” David asked, pointing at a glowing blue cube that has darker blue spiral as patterns and what looks like a sword-shaped as a clock dial “For a group like you all, I’ll sell those for 150,” the Merchant said Hearing that I almost dropped my wallet, a cane with quality like that must be worth more than my weekly salary. But not only that the ‘souls’ should cost 50 bucks each. The blue glowing cube and the clock dial sword also must be higher than the price the Merchant said. Wait a minute I think I’ve seen this, or rather read this somewhere. someone going to a con buys something cheap but has high quality from a creepy dude and gets sent to that show universe and either lose their memories, petrified in stone, doing some villain-y stuff or going insane and have the power from the character that he or she cosplayed as If I did get sent to the pony land I’ll have an unlimited power and can rule the entire galaxy or even the whole dimension! unless I followed the rule from the show Bill came from, can only contact other being trough mindscape and unable to walk freely in the real world unless I use someone as a puppet or open up a portal Charlie will have the power of 7 humans souls plus a monster boss soul and become the God of Hyperdeath that can mess around with time it using the SAVE and LOAD abilities and being invincible to other attacks, so that's pretty cool While David has the power to manipulate time as he wishes, unlike Charlie’s that can only be used to reset time to a certain point and drain other people energy or Wakfu in the original show, but at the price of losing his sanity over a lost family Basically, if we’re out of control and sent to pony land in our ‘original’ mind the creatures that live there will be royally fucked I fish out a 100 and 50 from my wallet and slowly slide it across the counter while looking at the Merchant with suspicious looks, “On a completely unrelated topic, are you The Merchant?” The guy froze his hand that was going for the money completely stopped. He let out a long sighed before asking “You got me, I’m The Merchant that abduct people and send them to Equestria, what are you going to do about it?” We stood around like statue, looking at the Merchant with an unamused face. The tension is so thick you can cut it with a butter knife “Are you all going to stand there and not screamed your heads off?” The Merchant asked Suddenly my oldest brother shouted “Huddle time!” and we gather around him like a soccer team discussing a strategy, arms warped around other’s shoulders “So are we going to take the offer or no?” I asked “I would say no but I think this is once in a lifetime chance” Charlie spoke “Yeah, I read one of those Displaced fic and the guy lost his sanity and got petrified as a stone” David said “So is it a no?” “We still haven’t agreed on that yet, Erik. Can we go back here if we sent to Equestria?” David asked “I’m not sure, there’s story that the Displaced can go back to earth with a certain way” I answered “Well you’re a master of chaos that can bend reality at your will, heck in the show Bill can make a portal to the real world” “He can't make a portal with a snap of a finger, someone has to build a portal gateway from the real world that allows Bill to invade them” I argued “Wait, I once read someone dressed up as a Big Daddy and he literary became one, does that mean we’ll be like him, thinking that we are actually our character?” Charlie asked after me and my oldest brother little debate “I don’t know, we’re pretty powerful figures there’s a high chance that we lose our mind especially me since I have the power of chaos” “How about me? I’m basically the God of Death” “The God of HYPERDeath with seven different souls, I think it’s safe to say that your mind will be fine, I’m not sure about David though, Nox is driven to madness by the loss of his family,” I said “I won’t lose my mind as long I have you two around,” David said, hugging us a little closer “Yeah, so you guys have made up your mind?” I asked “I say…yes if we got to keep our minds,” Charlie said “Me too but I would like to leave a goodbye message for our parents, we don’t need them to worry about us,” David said We broke out from our little huddle, The Merchant tapping his finger on the counter impatiently, the items that we bought is piled up beside him “So what did you guys talking about? Calling the police I assume?” he said, the last part referring to David who’s typing on his phone “Pfft, you’re afraid of the police? Dude you’re like a dimensional being, I bet you can send them to a random universe on a drop of a hat” I said fishing out the rest of my money “three tickets to Equestria with our minds intact please” “Wait you guys actually considering leaving your home world?” “Meh, big bro already write a goodbye message for our parents, and those extra 150 are for our minds since some of the Displaced got their minds scrambled until imprison by the Elements” The Merchant stare at my hand that holding the paper before chuckling “Never in a thousand year I’ve seen a group like you all, so as saying thank you I let you guys choose what kind of Equestria that you want and when” We huddle one more time discussing what kind of Equestria we want. We settled on the original one, a couple years before Sombra conquer the Crystal Empires We told Merchant about it and he pulls out a list of universes “Like to stick with the original one huh? Sure grab your stuff and I’ll send you all in no time” “Sweet!” we exclaimed grabbing our stuff, a smooth cane and Journal 3 for me, blue cube and clock dial sword for David or Noximilien and souls for Asriel Dreemurr, former Christ, we decided to keep our last name to show that we’re brothers “Wait!” I shouted interrupting The Merchant that about to snap his fingers “is there any way for us to get back home? To earth I mean”? “Well the Equestria I’m about to send you guys to is going to be aired on a different earth, so there’s a way for you to go there, maybe” The Merchant answered “Does that mean that the shows that were originally from are going to be aired as well?” Nox asked “Perhaps,” The Merchant said “Meh, we’ll figure that out later when we’re able to go to the other earth, say do you have something for us to access the internet?” Asriel asked, holding out his wallet “I can make your phone or laptop to gain internet connection from the other earth, but that will cost an extra 50,” Merchant said holding out his hand. goat bro gave him a 100 “Make it a fast one,” he said, grinning After a little bit of talk and greeting we’re ready to be sent to Equestria but not before forming a plan “So here’s the plan” I said “Sun Butt will notice the energy spike that caused by us, since I have Chaos Magic and Asriel has 7 different souls, so we’ll head to the Everfree forest if we landed anywhere but there, the wild magic there will disguise our power. From there we’ll lay low and train our skill if she going to hunt us down, then reveal ourselves after the mane 6 got the Elements hopefully” The two agreed, I gave the ‘go ahead’ gesture to The Merchant, in turn, he opens up a portal under our feet and pull us in, we waved at The Merchant before we the portal closed Have you ever feel down to a rainbow colored tube while your body feels like its burning? Yeah me neither At least I’m not cosplaying as Asriel cus he just straight up melted, his bones rearranged themselves- ouch his horn just sprouted from his head and his muzzle is slowly forming And there goes my left eye, great now I only have one good eye… >>>After Erik and co disappear<<< The Merchant on his stall floor, breathing heavily “Damn” he gasped “Sending the three of them there sure is a hard work” he stood up and look toward the floor where he has sent Erik and his brothers “I feel like I’m forgetting something” then it clicked. The Merchant immediately write a short message on a small piece of paper and sent it through a smaller portal
