Ricks POV
Me and my friend were driving to a Con, excited to attend a place where fans can dress up as their favorite characters, characters from Marvel, Transformers, DC and so much more. By the way, names Rick, average kid, and kinda a nerd but luckily, I didn't let that show when I'm at school. And the person next to me is my friend Angie, smart girl, not nearly as nerdy as me, but still a nerd when it comes to our shared favorite interests, meaning Marvel, Dc, Sonic the hedgehog and many others. Well, pretty sure others would agree that those franchises are pretty cool.
Anyway, me and Angie were on our way to the Con dressed as our favorite characters, well, I decided to go as my OC, which was from a crossover I made up that involved Sonic the Hedgehog, Marvel's Avengers Earth Mightiest Heroes, Pokemon and Transformers Animated, you know that series were it was cancelled after season 3, pretty good show that one was. Anyway, my OC was a fusion of Pikachu, human and Sonic DNA, but I looked more like a an anthropomorphic Pikachu with blue eyes, yellow fur with brown stripes on my back with my ears having black tips and red fur where my cheeks are. I had a red scarf around my neck that also barely covers the chest fur I gave him. Completely my look were the two Techno Gauntlets I made up that black rings connected to them at the wrists and custom made shoes and bandages around my arms and legs.
"Hey Rick, how much farther to the Con?" Angie asked me, causing me to look at her while keeping an eye on the road, she was dressed up as Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe, she painted her skin and died her hair blue to match Lapis's, she even got the original blue dress, she only needed the gem to complete her look but we didn't have time to look for one or make one.
I smile, "Not much farther now Angie, maybe a few more minutes before we get there." I replied, she had a huge smile on her face.
"Isn't this exciting Rick! Going to a Con for the first time!" Angie said, clearly excited,
I smiled at her excitement, "Yeah, I'm actually a little nervous to be honest." I said, a nervous look on my face, it was kinda true, most people always make fun of my OC and say that he's too OP, but that's not true, I added some weaknesses so he isn't OP but no one listens.
Angie saw this and placed a hand on my back, "Hey, I'm sure everything will be fine, if anything I think some people might think you're OC is cool. So stop worrying over nothing and try to have fun!"
I nodded my head just as we drove up to the Con, "Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm just worrying over nothing." this caused Angie to smile as I parked the car.
"Good, now let's have some fun!" she shouted in joy causing me to smile and chuckle at her excitement.
After getting out of the car, we ran inside the Con, large smiles on our faces, this was our first Con so of course we are excited. We did our best to do everything we could inside the Con, buying cool things to show off back home, or just wandered around, looking at different stalls, until one caught our eye. The guy running the stall looked familiar but I couldn't remember why, but he had a few interesting items, one of them being the the Lapis Lazuli gem Angie needed for her costume, a Rose Quartz sword and Rose Quartz's shield, and the Blade of Olympus, now, the blade won't go well with my costume, but it was one of my favorite weapons while playing God of War and would make a pretty cool collectible.
Plus, I can tell Angie wanted the sword and shield as well, causing me to roll my eyes with a smile before we walked up to the stall.
"Hello Lapis Lazuli, and I'm guessing you are dressing up as an OC?" the guy asked me, I nodded in response, "Well, I think it's a great idea to dress up as your own character, it shows what great imagination one has!"
"I agree, though, he did have some help coming up with the character." Angie said with a smirk, causing me to laugh a bit, "Anyway, you have a lot of interesting stuff, did you make them yourself?"
"Why yes I did, and I couldn't help but notice that your costume seems to be lacking something." the guy said, holding his chin in thought,
"She's missing the gem that would complete her look, can't be a gem without the gem." I said,
"Ah I see! Then this would be perfect for your costume." the guy said, holding up the gem, causing Angie to smile.
"Yes, that is just what I need! Also, do you think I can get the ROse Quartz sword and shield? I know I'm not the right character to get them, but I think they would be cool to have." Angie asked and the guy nodded his head,
"Very well, and what about you?" he asked me, and I looked at the Blade,
"The Blade of Olympus please." I said,
"Alright, all that would cost around $350 but, I'm willing to bargain and lower the price to $220. What do you say?" the guy asked and me and Angie nodded our heads with smiles on our faces, and I paid the guy and helped Angie put the gem on her back.
"Thank you so much, I really needed the gem to complete my look." Angie said, then had a thoughtful look on her face, "Hey, I think I know you from somewhere."
"Oh good, I wasn't the only one to notice that he looks familiar." I said with a sigh of relief that I wasn't imagining things.
"Oh? And who would you say I remind you of stranger?" the guy asked, and our eyes widened when we finally found who he was.
"You're the Merchant, famous Displacer of the Con." Angie said, causing the Merchant to laugh.
"Yes I am, and this is the part where I usually send you off but I'm gonna be a nice guy and give you a little gift." the Merchant said, and with a snap of his fingers, a small phone appeared with a slip of paper, "A phone so that way you two could yell at me all you want, even if it won't make me bring you back to your world."
"Why give us this?" I asked him, ready to hit him with the Blade.
"Eh, who knows, maybe I feel like messing with you. now, bye bye!" after he said that, I blacked out. But, I managed to hear the Merchant say, "Oh shit, that wasn't supposed to happen."
I let out a groan as I woke up to the sound of birds chirping and the taste of dirt in my mouth, I got up after spitting the dirt out of my mouth and looked around, I saw that i was in a forest, the Everfree to be exact, if the twisted looking trees were anything to go by. I then looked at myself, yellow fur, thunderbolt shaped tail, large ears, yep, me and Angie were Displaced. "Wait, Angie?" I asked, looking around, "Angie where are you?! Angie?!" I shouted, my voice echoing across the forest.
I then saw the phone the Merchant gave me and used it to call him, "Hello?" I heard him answer.
"Hey asshole, remember me? The guy you Displaced? Where the fuck is my friend?" I asked him, a bit annoyed, I wanted to be Displaced but I still needed time to think about it, and not seeing Angie anywhere is just making even more angry.
"Ah Rick, yes, I remember you, your friend is....how do I put this gently? Ah fuck it, she's gotten lost while she was being Displaced. So you're gonna have to find her on your own." Merchant replied,
"If I don't find her, or if she's hurt, I"m coming after you." I knew it was an empty threat cause who is crazy enough to pick a fight with someone who rips people from their reality and throw them into another while also giving them a new body and powers? I heard him laugh in response.
"Good luck with that, now if you excuse me, I'm about to Displaced another unfortunate soul, someone dressed up as a character from Ben 10." with that, the Merchant ended the call, making curse under my breath. I nearly shouted in anger when a thunderclap was heard above my head before a brown liquid rained down on my head.
"Wait, brown liquid?" I asked in confusion, looking up and seeing a cotton candy cloud raining chocolate milk on me. "Well, at least I know when I am in Equestria, at least, I think I do." I then decided to give my new powers a test run, literally. I took off at speeds rivaling Sonic the Hedgehog through the forest, often doing stunts for the heck of it. I kept running through the forest until I reached the familiar canyon with an equally familiar castle on the other side, looking as if though it never once saw war in its life. "So, I definitely appeared during Discords rule, just his first one. Man, Angie would go nuts if she saw this, that is, if she hasn't already." I then looked up to the sky, still wondering where my friend was but shook my head, Equestria needed a hero right now, and frankly, I have to be that hero, though I'm more of a anti-hero or vigilante but still.
I quickly hid in a bush when I saw Celestia and Luna, clad in battle armor and wielding weapons, no doubt going off to fight Discord, I grinned. "Sorry princesses, but I'm afraid you're gonna be a bit disappointed when you arrive." I said to myself, getting out of the bush and ran off to find Discord.
"There you are." I said to myself after looking for him for fifteen minutes, he was casually sitting on a throne that looked to be something a four year old would make, which in his case, is perfect. I was crouching on a cliff that a bit away from his throne, using a pair of binoculars to watch him drink the glass of chocolate milk then throwing the drink behind his head, causing an explosion and making him laugh and no doubt gloat about his chaos. "Sorry Discord, but I'm gonna have to crash the party." I said then ran down to the bottom of the cliff before running back up it and using Spin Dash to launch myself into the air. I grinned as I prepped a Thunder Punch before I rocketed towards Discord, but before I could attack, he turned his head from the bag of something he was messily eating, getting it all over the place, and shouted in surprise before dodging, making me punch the throne and destroying it.
"Hey!! That was my throne you so rudely destroyed! You're gonna have to pay for that-oh, what do we have here?" Discord said as he brought out a magnifying glass just as I stood up, he got in my face as if he was looking at something new, which of course, he was. "I never seen anything like you before, hmmmm, you seem to be sapient if the clothes are anything to go by. Just what are you exactly?" he yelped when lightning came off my body, nearly shocking him. I grinned and pointed a thumb at myself,
"Names Rick, the Ultimate Weapon, and the guy who's gonna kick your ass if you don't stop this chaos." I punched my palm for emphasis but Discord just laughed until I lunged at him, elbowing him the gut before spinning around and slamming the back of my boot into his face, sending him flying but he quickly stopped himself and gave me an amused grin.
"Okay, I'll admit, that did hurt, guess you're not all talk. But you're not gonna defeat me, I'm the lord of Chaos and Disharmony." Discord bragged which caused me to roll my eyes and Discord saw this and wasn't happy. "Oh? You think I'm joking?"
"Not really, just that you're full of shit." I replied with a grin before dodging the chaos magic by rolling to the side, seeing Discords angered look.
"I was going to go easy on you, but I think I'll enjoy breaking every bone in your body." Discord said,
"Well come at me then bitch." I said, and I charged at him and I couldn't help the grin that appeared on my face.
'This was gonna be fun.'
3rd POV
Rick ran at Discord and tried to use Thunder Punch on him but Discord flew into the air, dodging the attack before slashing at Ricks back with his talons while producing a tuba out of nowhere and blowing into it, this caused a massive blast of noise to hit Rick and make him scream in pain due to his enhanced hearing. Discord grinned and slammed the tuba on Ricks head and slamming a spoon against it and once he was satisfied he lifted it up and saw Rick about to pass out due to the constant pain his ears, which were also bleeding, were receiving but he fought through it and glared at Discord who was laughing. "Oh what an amusing sight! A rat thinking he can defeat moi yet he is on the verge of passing out after three attacks!" Discord said before he continued laughing.
Rick just growled but he was also a bit confused on what Discord was saying to him losing his hearing, at least until it heals, but he didn't care, he was gonna keep fighting. With his fists covered in lightning, Rick delivered a strong punch to Discords gut, sending him flying before he stopped himself only to get hit in the face with Iron Tail, knocking out some teeth. "How'd that feel asshole?!" Rick shouted, almost being able to hear himself again.
Discord growled and snapped his talons, causing an enlarged fist to appear above Rick and slam down on him but Rick easily dodges it thanks to his speed before grabbing the fist and throwing it Discord, who just turned it into bubbles with another snap of his talons. "Oh please, this is starting to-OOF!" Discord grunted as Rick suddenly rammed his shoulder into his gut as he ran and causing Rick to ram Discord through trees, rocks, and dancing rocks with top hats and canes before Discord's tail formed into a hand and snapped its fingers, teleporting Discord away from Rick who crashed into another boulder, nearly breaking his arm in the process.
"Shit! That hurt!" Rick shouted as he held his shoulder before looking around for the draconequus when suddenly a pie landed next to him before exploding into confetti with the force of the explosion knocking Rick back and into a mound of chocolate but felt more like iron. Rick gasped as the wind was knocked out of him before he fought through the pain again while his body was sparking. "O-ok, that's it! You're gonna get it now Discord! Take this Discharge!" Rick shouted as lightning erupted from his body, hitting everything around him, even Discord who was hiding behind a rock shaped like him that exploded into marshmallows.
Discord was surprised by the sudden attack, causing him to be electrocuted by Rick's Discharge and once it was over, he had small sparks surrounding his body, which means he was afflicted by the Status Effect, Paralysis. "W-what?! I can barely m-move!" Discord shouted in confusion and anger as he tried to move only to get hit by Ricks Homing Attack multiple times followed by a punch to Discords jaw, knocking out a tooth and sending him flying a bit but Discord managed to stop himself by opening his mismatched wings while rubbing his jaw. "Ouch! That actually hurt! Luckily, I have a solution for that." Discord then snapped his talons and all the wounds he had gotten during the fight were healed, much to Rick's annoyance. "There! Good as new!"
"Oh come on!" Rick shouted angrily while Discord blew into his lion paw, causing his eagle hand to grow and making Rick gulp just as Discord spun his arm around before punching Rick, sending him flying and crashing into a distant mountain. Rick coughed up blood, a stone spike sticking through his stomach. "D-damn it, he's too strong...n-need to..think of some-something...." Rick said as he was slowly losing consciousness due to the beating he had taken.
Then Discord appears while holding his gut as he laughed. "Oh what fun this was! But you had no chance against the master of reality such as moi!" Discord said as he looked down at Rick who struggled to get up. "Oh but you're still gonna try? In your state?" this made him laugh even harder before he snapped his talons and Rick's injuries were healed and he no longer felt exhausted.
"W-what?" Rick asked in confusion as he looked himself over then at Discord. "Why?"
"Because I haven't met a being who was so hung up about defeating me! Even Celly and Lulu weren't this determine! They gave up right after I took away their horns but I did give them back to see if they'll come at me again! And I was very disappointed when they didn't." Discord said as he smirks. "Plus, I know that lightning isn't the only thing you can do! I looked at your bio that your creator-OW!" Discord shouted in pain when an invisible force hit him on the head. "Now that was rude OPTIMUSPRIMEG1! I was only-OW! Ok ok I won't break the fourth wall anymore!"
"Uuuuuh..." Rick just stared in confusion before shaking his head as he remembers the whole fourth wall thing before he full stood up and punched his open palm while sparking a bit before it disappeared much to his confusion but he shook it off. "Alright Discord, aside from that weirdness, you're right. I haven't used every last trick I have. So prepare yourself!" he then thought to himself. 'Oh I hope this works, I don't even know if they'll show up.' he then starts to rise into the air a bit just as seven different colored gems appeared around him. While this was happening, Discord was sitting on a lounge chair eating popcorn. "Behold! The true power of Chaos!"
Not a second after he said that his fur changed from regular yellow to golden while an equally golden aura surrounded him. "True power of Chaos you say? Well let's see how that Chaos stands against my chaos!" Discord said as he rose into the air as well, his hands covered in chaos magic.
"Lets." Rick said then the two clashed, creating a shockwave that caused nearby clouds to disperse. Rick and Discord then disappeared and reappeared in another part of the sky, their fists connecting and sending another shockwave of Chaos Energy and magic, causing several objects to transform into the most wacky of stuff you can imagine. Rick then kicks Discord away before summoning several Chaos Spears and sent them at him but Discord just grins and turns them into either custard or bubbles and for the bubbles, Discord blows them towards Rick and upon reaching him, they exploded with the force of anti-tank mine. Discord smirks thinking he had won but he remembers one fact about the Super form.
"Blast, I forgot that the Super form is-" Discord didn't finish his sentence as he was hit in the gut by a flying Spin Dash, causing him to be propelled backwards while Rick hovered in the air, not a scratch on him. "Invincible." Discord said as he was caught by a giant Discord wearing a baseball catchers outfit.
"That's right! While I'm like this, anything you throw at me won't affect me!" Rick said with a grin before flying at Discord with his fist pulled back.
"Anything huh? Well this Super form hasn't met anything like me!" Discord said as he disappeared just as Rick punches the giant Discords hand but it exploded it in his face the moment he did but like before he didn't take any damage. Rick looked around for Discord but didn't see him anywhere before he felt something stab into his side and causing him to bite back a scream of pain as he looked down to see an arrow sticking in his side.
"What?! But how?!" Rick asked in shock as he pulled the arrow out before another took its place. "Damn it!" Rick shouted as he surrounded himself with lightning to block any more arrows but they still managed to get through the lightning unscathed! "Where the fuck are these things coming from?! Wait, why am I even asking that?" Rick then flew towards the source of the arrows while making sure to dodge each one. He found the source being a group of Discords wearing archer outfits firing another volley of arrows at Rick.
"Egad's! It would appear we have been found out my fellow archers!" one of the Discords said to the others and they nodded.
"Shall we show this ruffian what happens when-" the second Discord was cut off when Rick used Homing Attack on all of them and made them disappear in a puff of smoke.
"Cheap parlor tricks." Rick said to himself.
"Don't get so full of yourself yet!" Rick whirled around only to be hit by a beam of Chaos Magic, sending him crashing into the ground as he struggles to fight against the beam. "Not so cocky now are you?" Discord asked with a grin as he puts more power into the beam, causing it to push Rick into the ground.
Grunts grits his teeth as he feels the attack start to burn away at his skin before he gathered up all the energy he could. "Chaos.." Rick said while Discord looked at him in confusion, wondering what he was planning. He soon got his answer when Rick shouted. "BLAST!!!" and a huge explosion of Chaos energy erupted from Rick's body, managing to push back against the beam of Chaos Magic while also hitting Discord and blowing him away. When the explosion died down, Rick stood in a crater with visible burns covering his arms and chest. "D-damn it, with him warping reality to help him, I might lose if I don't come up with a plan."
'Let me out and I'll crush him with my bare hands.'
"What?! Who said that?!" Rick said as he whipped his head to search for the owner of the voice, a voice that felt familiar for some reason.
'You know I'm the only one capable of hurting him, so let me out!'
"Just who are you?!" Rick asked before wincing when he felt pain in his head, making him hold it as he wondered where the pain came from. Unfortunately, he didn't get to find out before he was suddenly trapped by Discord when he wrapped his body around him like a snake. "Wha?! Let me go you mismatched freak of nature!"
"No, I think not." Discord said with a grin as he snapped his talons and Rick no longer was in his Super Form. "There, now that that pesky form of yours is gone, I think it's time to put your abilities to better use wouldn't you say?"
Rick growled while glaring at Discord. "If you think I'm gonna help you then you're dead wrong!" Rick shouted and Discord just laughed while something in the back of Rick's mind was slowly clawing its way out from the mental cage that it was trapped in.
"Oh it's hilarious if you think you have a choice in the matter." Discord said then touched the top of Rick's head with his paw, causing his eyes to become multicolored swirls. He then felt something snap within his mind and causing him to black out.
Rick groaned as he regained consciousness, seeing that he was fully healed, was standing over a badly burnt Discord, and that were small fires everywhere as far as the eye can see. Rick was confused when he saw the fires, "Where the heck did these come from? The last thing I remember was Discord about to mind control me and me getting angry with-" he paused when he realized what happened and looked at Discord in horror. "No, how could I forget about him?" Rick whispered as he quickly began to heal Discords wounds. "Phoenix what have you done?"
