//------------------------------// // Digimodify Crossover Activate // Story: Displaced Heroes, Villains And Everything In Between // by Deltorix //------------------------------// I stare at this new human that just fell out of a portal and landed on me before falling into some mud. One of the guards holds a hand up. “Sir step away from the monster!”  "Monster?" The man asked, turning his head to me. I noticed he had brown hair and a pair of black jeans on. However, what caught my attention the most was a light blue ultimatrix from ben ten on his wrist.  I blink in surprise. “What the hell is an Ultimatrix doing in Equestria?” I ask mostly myself.  "I could ask the same thing about a Growlmon." The man said with a smile, shocking me that he knew what I was. "So pineapple head, where's Takato?" I groan from the nickname but it comes out as a growl making the guards think I was upset and one tries to pull the new guy away. “Please don’t call me that, and he doesn't exist here.” I look up at him. “Where did you come from?” The guard that was pulling on the new guy's arm was trying his darndest to pull him away from me, the heels of his shoes even digging into the ground but the new guy didn't budge. "From a different Equestria in another dimension." Everyone froze after those words.  I blink in shock and just as I am about to ask another question more guards come from the hole in the wall. “Sir, we found another monster inside, this one on fire!” They push a Meramon out of the hole with their weapons aimed at him. “Where the hell did he come from?” I ask myself.  "Hey pineapple head, they caught you too huh?" Meramon said with a smirk.  "My guess is an Impmon digivolved." The new guy said, as guards still tried to pull him away from me. "Sir please step away from the monsters!" The same guard from before said. I look at the guards before I look at the new guy. “Uh...you know those guards are trying to ‘protect’ you right?” I say while flexing my claws to make air quotes.  "Yeah I know, but after training with Cooler I kinda don't feel normal physical tugging anymore." He said, my brain stopping at what he said as he turned to the guard. "Don't worry, they can't do anything to me."  “Sir, you may be of the Earth Clan but even your strength can't handle these monsters! Once the captain gets here he will send them back to where they belong.” The same guard said, now stopping his tugging but keeps his hand on the new guy.  I look over at Meramon. “Since when could you turn into a Meramon? I thought you could only turn into Beelzemon.” I ask him but stay on my belly.  "Yeah, get this. That fang faced dragon guy got my digivice." Meramon said, shaking his head. "And I thought only Ai and mako could use it "  “Wow, that is a surprise. Well, hopefully we won't have to fight our way out of this situation.” I said to him and got a spear poked into my keg. “Ow! Jerk.”  "Hey man leave him alone, he's not doing anything." The new guy said, grabbing the guard's spear that poked me, literally dragging the other one who had his hand on his arm. A man with blue hair and a white horn walking in through the door, and seeing the man that was holding the spear.  "Sir, please leave the area. This is a job for the guard and we can't have any civilians from any clan here. Even from the earth clan." The blue and white-haired man said to the ultimatrix user before A loud roar erupted through the area as A wall of the castle came down as a Greymon with a black gear in its head slammed through the castle.  (picture of Greymon here) "Men, weapons up, don't let these monsters get through!" The captain said, his hand on a sword on his side as the guards held their weapons up to the Greymon. My eyes widen and I lift my head. “A black gear controlled Greymon? Not good.” I turn to Meramon. “Get ready to step in.” Meramon punched his open palm, “Why don’t we step in now? Show these idiots that we’re the good guys?” he asked me, “Because if we act now, all they will see are three monsters fighting over who gets them.” I tell him before snorting flames out of my nose.  “You know something Pineapple Head? I hate it when you make a good point.” Meramon said, sitting down while crossing his arms, “I still say we should help out.” “We will if things go south.” I tell him. I then look over at the ultimatrix user. “So who’s he?” Meramon asked, pointing at the Ultimatrix user. “He doesn’t look like he’s with those soldiers.” “I don't know, he fell out of some kind of portal, but that device on his wrist makes him a bigger threat than all the devas put together.” I told him while watching the whole situation. “Him? A bigger threat than all the Devas put together? I don’t buy it.” Meramon said with a scoff. Watching as the guards try to bring the Greymon down. I shake my head at how the guards are fighting Greymon. “They aren’t even trying to destroy the black gear, it's like they are trying to kill Greymon.”  “Quiet monsters!” One of the guards pokes me with a spear.  "Ok, that's it. This little farce is over." The ultimatrix guy said snatching the spear out of the guard's hand and snapping it in two in one shot. "I'm not gonna let y'all kill an innocent being just because y'all are a bunch of racists!" He called a white aura forming around him as the ground itself cracks, he held up his hand to Greymon as a blast of energy erupted from his palm. The beam curved to the side and slammed into the side of the gear in Greymon, forcing it out as it shattered in the air. The Greymon then falls to the ground before de-digivolving back to an Agumon who is now out cold. I blink in surprise. “Ok, up his danger level to All the Devas, and dark masters and pretty much every mega Digimon and above put together.” I stand up now and look over to see Shining armor staring at the ultimatrix user.  “What in Celestia’s name are you? You aren’t of the Earth Clan, that's for sure!” He said, pulling out something. I look closer and my eyes widen when I see it is a digivice, it is mostly black and red with a small screen on the top of it, and two small buttons at the bottom. Then a line of code appears around his left hand.  "Huh, spirit evolution as well." The ultimatrix user said. "weird world."  “How the hell do you know about that?” Shining said before holding his hand up. “Execute, spirit evolution!” Then he scans the line of code with his digivice.  Just as Shining Armor said that a holographic set of armor appeared behind him before it glowed, then pieces of the armor began to form around Shining Armors body before he was covered in flame, once the dispersed, he was now clad in red and black armor, he had two horns, clawed boots, yellow hair and the symbol of flame on his belt, “Agunimon!”  “Ok, now we act.” I said before walking over to Agunimon. “ You don't have to fight us.” I said looking down at him. "Don't think that's gonna help." The watch wearer said. “Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t?” Shining Armor said, getting into a fighting stance. I roll my eyes. “Maybe the fact that we took out the evil Digimon that was helping Nightmare moon?” I ask him, then point at the battle-damaged courtyard. Shining Armor looked around then glared back at me, “Really? How do I know that you two didn’t just fight for no reason?” I blink confusedly. “Why the hell would you think that? Devimon is obviously evil and needed to be stopped. Unfortunately, we weren't able to stop him before you unleashed the black gears so now we need to find as many black gears as possible and destroy them.” I try to calmly explain to him.  “Save it monster, we’ll worry about any more of you monsters, but right now we’re sending you back to where you came from!” Shining Armor said, his fists igniting as he jumped up and uppercut me. I grunt as I am knocked over and land on my back. “Ass...hole…” I weakly look up at him. “I don't want to fight you, and I sure as hell am not going to the digital world.” I get up before backing away from him.  “Tough luck, 'cause that’s where you and the others will be going soon.” Shining Armor replied,   "How about you just calm down." The ultimatrix user said walking up to us. "This one and the fire one aren't able to digivolve without human teammates. And evil Digimon literally can't have human partners because they don't like or trust humans." He said, shaking his head at Agunimon. "You're the legendary warrior of flame, your spirit literally helped save both the human and digital world from Lucemon why are you being such a dick?"   “Because all Digimon are chaotic and destructive monsters that should stay out of Equestria.” Shining Armor replied,  "Wow getting Digimon data squad vibes." The ultimatrix user mumbled to himself, thigh I could hear him because of how close we were. "Ok, how about we start over. My name's Dillan, and why do you think all Digimon are chaotic?" “Because all they do is show up and destroy everything and everyone around them!” Shining armor said while stepping closer and flames come out of his gauntlets. “And you can't fool me, Digimon! I saw you destroy that thing, No Earth Clan member can do what you did!” "Ok, what is an earth clan?" The man, Dillan, said raising an eyebrow in confusion. Shining Armor smirks. “Ha! I knew you aren’t one of us!” He said pointing at Dillan. I speak up. “Earth Clan are basically this world's version of earth ponies.” I whisper to Dillan.  "Ohhhh." Dillan said nodding. "Got it, so I'm assuming that if earth clan are earth ponies… the sky clan are pegasus, and uh I don't know a mage clan for unicorns?" He said obviously guessing. I shrug. “I have only met the Apple family so far.” I said then look at Shining Armor. “I'm surprised that someone as cold-hearted as him got a digivice.” Dillan nodded and looked back to shining armor. "I'm guessing you have some personal bad experience with Digimon."  Shining glares at us before he throws a fireball at us. “Damn right! You monsters attacked my sister and almost killed her!” I saw Dillan blink as the flames hit his chest and apparently doing nothing as he shakes his head. "Dude, I'm not a Digimon. I'm a human from another dimension."  “Oh please, you just got hit by a fireball and standing there like it didn't even affect you!” Shining gets ready to attack again. I look over to see the guards surrounding the unconscious Agumon. "Ok. Yes." Dillan said scratching his head. "but that's Different because I'm kinda… well I'm basically a human but I guess you can say I've gained… ugh how do I explain this…"  “He is like you, he can turn into other beings with a device.” I speak up to help but then I look at Meramon. “Go protect that Agumon please.” "Well yes and no." Dillan mumbled, Agumon in his arms… Wait what? "After training I've been able to increase my natural power, magic, and flying abilities."  “Wait..how did you?” I start confused.  "Magic." He said, snapping his fingers as me and Meramon suddenly became rookies again. "See?"  "Oh come on!" Impmon said angrily. I look to Impmon my eyes wide. “Holy cow! Ok yeah, this guy is a lot stronger than he looks.” I look back at Dillan. “Look I don't want to fight with anyone, can you think of a way to stop this?” “A monster that doesn’t want to fight? What a load of bullcrap. Men get the little one and send him back to the other world.” Shining said before running at me.  I saw Dillan step between me and Agunimon, taking a punch right to the face and not flinching. "You know I thought Digimon were stronger, guess rookies and champions can't compare with cooler and dbz training." He said. I step back. “Holy cow man, look Agunimon, We seriously don't want to fight you. Just leave us alone.” I try again to speak with him. I also Look up when I hear more wings and see a tall woman flying over the courtyard.  "Is that supposed to be Celestia?" Dillan asked. “You don't get to speak her name monster scum!” Shining said before throwing punch after punch at Dillan's face.  Soon The tall woman in a white dress, with a horn and wings lands next to her guards. “Ma’am please stop this, we are not your enemy.” I call out to her.   Dillan nods, grabbing Agunimon's wrist. "please do, this doesn't hurt but it's annoying." Shining yells in anger as he tries even harder to hurt Dillan. “Damn you monsters!”  “Shining Armor stand down. These creatures said that they do not wish to fight; we should at least hear them out.” The tall woman that has to be Celestia, said.  Dillan smiled as shining armor growls, stepping back from Dillan. "Alright so, I'm assuming you're the displaced in this dimension right?" He asked looking at me. "Seeing as you're the only one that knew what my watch was."  I blink in confusion before my eyes widen. “What!? You mean I am one of those stupid overpowered original characters?! I fucking hate those stories!” I said punching the ground.  Dillan blinked. "Original characters? Your guilmon not exactly original."  I glare at him. “I am talking about the stories I have read, I couldn't get past the first chapters.” I shake my head. “Damn so there is no way for me to go home and return to normal?”  "Can you please explain what a displaced is?" Celestia stated interrupting us.  "Oh right, displaced are humans that get sent to different Equestrias through the multiverse and gain powers. Guilmon here became a Digimon, while I got the ultimatrix from my favorite tv show." Dillan said before Patting my head. "and hey cheer up, there could be a way home and back to normal, just gotta look."  I look at him in shock before looking at myself only to see I am back to being a Guilmon. “Holy crap I didn’t even notice.” I then look to Celestia. “I don't know all the details about the displaced, pretty much what he said is all now. Hell, I don’t even know how he crossed into this world.”  "Professor paradox most likely." Dillan stated. "I was asleep before I woke up in the mud, but the portal I saw was one of his."  “Oh, So what happens now?” I ask looking at Celestia. “You, I know I can trust to tell, Me and Impmon helped save your sister.”  Celestia nods as she looks at Dillan. "And what powers do you have that allowed you to not take damage from shining armor?"  "Oh, my powers are based on Ben 10. A story where a kid gets a watch like this and allows him to transform into different alien species. I met another displaced called cooler from a dimension where beings with enough training can fly and shoot lasers to put it simply. After training with him I learned how to use it in my human form."  Celestia rubs her chin. “I see...So why were you all fighting my guard captain?”   "Technically he attacked us because he assumed we were dangerous." Dillan said, looking at me. "Also how'd you digivolve without Takato?"  I scratch my cheek. “Let's just say I found a partner.” I said looking away from him.  Celestia looks confused. “Partner? What do you mean, and what is Digivolving?” "Should we tell her?" Dillan asked me.  I shrug and say. “I guess, I don't see a reason to hide it.” "You'd better not hide anything when the princess asks!" Shining armor yelled, raising his fist at us.  "Chill man jeez you're uptight." Dillan said. "As for your questions. Digimon like Impmon and guilmon here can't digivolve without human partners to use their personalized digivice machines that channel the feelings of humans into the digivice and make the Digimon stronger. Digivolving is when a Digimon becomes bigger and stronger, the stronger the feelings of trust and belief in a human’s partner the bigger and stronger they become."  “I see, so more of my subjects have these digivices?” Celestia asked.  “We need to find them and take them away to keep them safe from these monsters.” Shining said.  "Yeah no." Dillan said. "You literally can't, it's their destiny to be DigiDestined and the forces that chose them will always return the devices to them."  “Think of it like this, the digital world is alive and when it feels danger coming, it sends out digivices to humans to work together with Digimon to protect BOTH worlds.” I tell them, emphasizing the word both while looking at Shining Armor. Shining armor crosses his arms. "Yeah right, like a bunch of monsters could help save our world!"  I huff and look away from him. “Geez, I can already tell he will cause problems later.” I mumble to myself.  Dillan shook his head while gritting his teeth. "You know what, it doesn't matter what you think." He said shocking everyone in the courtyard. "If you want to hate them, go ahead, however, you have NO right to take away someone's friend from them just because you're a heartless jerk. You're all pissy and moody because your sister ALMOST died, your Lucky!" Dillan said his anger clearly rose. "Your sister is still alive, I lost my ENTIRE FAMILY." he said his hand over his chest as tears form in his eyes. "If you think you can be an ass just because your sister got hurt then what the hell is stopping me from destroying the entire universe huh? I'll tell you what, it's the fact that taking out my anger on others would make me no better than anyone I fight, you wanna be like this?" He asked, pointing in Shining Armor’s face. "Then you're no better than the Digimon that attacked your sister and that helped Nightmare moon."  Everyone blinks in shock at Dillan and Shining Armor even reverts back to human form. “Holy crap man, how long have you been holding that in?” I ask him.  Dillan was silent for a while. "A year and a half… since I got displaced… and my family died… my mom, dad, brother, sister… My six and seven-year-old nieces… and my pregnant girlfriend…" Celestia and everyone, even Impmon look at him in shock before he continues. "I'm the only one in my world that can protect everypony from the likes of Vilgax and Eon… I've always been helping others and it made me feel good… but hearing that just pissed me off. No one has the right to complain about something that has happened to them, yes it's bad but someone always has had something worse done to them…"  Shining looks away frowning. Celestia walks up and gives Dillan a strong hug. “I am so sorry you had to go through all that.”  Dillan slumps a bit, hugging her back as a yellow beam flows over her from his ultimatrix. "It's fine, it was years ago…" he said, pulling away. "Honestly, my Equestria is going through a major catastrophe right now, so it's kinda nice to get it out…. And sorry I snapped."  “Hey, don't worry about it, it’s better you explode and let it out now rather than snap and go crazy later.” I told him as I walk up to them, but some guards rushed over and kept me from getting any closer to Celestia. "Wow, you guys are seriously dumb." Dillan said, shaking his head. "Though I suppose it does make sense… which I'm sure Discord will hate." He chuckled a little. Celestia looks at Dillan with suspicion when he said Discord's name. “Hey, in case you couldn’t tell we are literally right after Nightmare Moon’s defeat.” I tell Dillan.  He blinked and chuckled. "Oh right, sorry my dimension is way ahead of this one. Though because of that catastrophe I mentioned before in my dimension Discord was freed and surprisingly helped save everyone's lives, that's why I know him." He said to Celestia, surprising her. "Different dimensions can have small or big changes, heck the catastrophe in my world is… well let's just say Canterlot is beachfront property now."  Celestia blinks in surprise but I speak first. “How the hell can that happen? Canterlot is at the top of a mountain.” "An alien Animo made using Eons Omnitrix froze the planet… literally the air and everything. Took the help of Azimuth making a new alien with the opposite abilities and a Charizard displaced named Draco to beat him. Though Animo was manipulating him like a parent with an impressionable child." Dillan said before shaking his head, going off-topic again. "Anyway the ice and snow melted and well everything flooded."  “Damn, I think the worst that will happen here is maybe mega levels showing up or maybe…” I shiver. “The D-reaper.”  Dillan's eyes shrink. "Yeah, not gonna lie, that thing scares me."  "The D-reaper?" Celestia asked. "Long story short it was made to keep simple programs in line but evolved to delete Digimon. In the dimension Guilmon and Impmon are from, it got through to the human world and tried deleting them. It wasn't until Guilmon and Impmon here with their friends and partners were able to beat it back." Dillan said. Both me and Impmon rub our heads. “Well, there was more to it but yeah. So is there anything else I should know about being a displaced?” I asked Dillan.  "Oh right, I'm guessing you don't have a token yet." Dillan said. “Token? What is that?” I ask him.  Dillan chuckled and pulled out a light blue Omnitrix core from out of nowhere. "Catch." He said tossing it to me. "That's my token, normally when a displaced person finds a token it'll relay a message from the creator letting other displaced people know about them. It's a sort of bacon that lets other Displaced know we're not alone."  “That sounds pretty useful eh Pineapple Head?” Impmon asked me with a grin, “Who knows, in case we end up in a situation like this or in a situation where we are getting our asses kicked we can call for some help.”  “Yeah, it does, especially if the stories that I saw were an indication of how powerful they are. I saw a lot of powerful Displaced ideas but I've never actually read any of the stories.” I said and looked over at the hole in the wall for a moment before holding onto this token and looking back at Dillan. “So how would one make a token?”  "All I did was take something that represented my powers." He said, holding up his ultimatrix as I looked to the Omnitrix core. "and spoke an oath, then I threw it into the void so maybe use your digivice or a guilmon Digimon card, the original token stays with the displaced." He said tapping his ultimatrix core. I scratch my chin and look at Impmon. “Hey did Takato ever have an actual Guilmon card?” I ask him.  “I don’t know. I never asked.” Impmon replied with a shrug of his shoulders. Some more guards come out of the castle with the main six along with Big Mac, Spike, and Apple Bloom. My eyes widen and I growl lightly at the guards not knowing if they have hurt her or not. “James! You are back to normal!” Applebloom ran to me.  "I take it Apple Bloom is your partner." Dillan said as a yellow beam flows over her from his watch.  "And what was that?" Applejack asked as she and big mac came over. James rubs the back of his head as Apple Bloom hugs him. “This is Dillan, and yeah Bloom is my partner. Hey Bloom can you hand me the digivice and look through the cards for one of me?”  Apple bloom starts looking through the card as Dillan spoke to the other two Apple siblings. "And that yellow beam was my way of scanning her, it lets me transform into an earth clan member now…. And I guess whatever Celestia is since I scanned her." “Ya can turn into a member of the Goddess Clan?” Applejack asks, with a small smirk.  "God clan, I keep my gender." He said chuckling, as a blue hologram man with a horn and pair of wings pops up on his ultimatrix. Dillan pushed down his ultimatrix just before a bright flash enveloped him, before vanishing. In his place stood a tall man with brown hair, two large white wings, and a sharp white horn. Without a shirt, his muscles were clearly on display as his six-pack glistened in the morning sun.  I frown and cover Applebloom's eyes as all the other women, even some of the guards and Celestia, have a blush on their faces. “Ok alicorn of handsomeness, you can change back now. I'd rather not I have to watch you get chased around by all these women.” Dillan chuckles, pushing the ultimatrix symbol again and returning to normal. "Sorry, just wanted to try it out."  All the women shake their heads before some glare at Dillan while others look away from him. “Anyway, Bloom, any luck finding that card?” I ask her.  “Sorry James, Ah can’t find it.” She said frowning.  "I might have one in my world you can have, I kept a few trinkets from before my displacement. We can go check if you want." Dillan said a friendly smile on his face.  I look at Apple Bloom, and Impmon. “Maybe, but I want to make sure my friends won't be thrown in jail or sent back to the digital world while I am gone, and if it is ok with Applejack I would like Apple Bloom to come with.”  "To another dimension? Ah don't think so." Applejack said, crossing her arms. "Who knows what could happen to her."  "Nothing that can't happen here." Dillan said. "Besides, there's an Applejack in my world that has her own Apple bloom. She won't let anything happen to any Apple bloom."  Applejack rubs her chin thinking while I and Apple Bloom both give her the puppy dog eyes. “Arg, fine ya can go but if so much as a hair is hurt on her head Ah’ll tan both your hides.” She said, pointing at me and Dillan.  Dillan chuckles and nods. "Don't worry if anything does happen I have multiple transformations that can undo it. Including one that can rewind time, she's perfectly safe."  "As for your friend… from what you've explained he's helped save a world before. So I shall allow him to stay in ponyville for now, however, I would like him to keep an eye out for other Digimon that might pop up." Celestia said, nodding to Impmon. I smile and look at Impmon. “Best behavior and I can tell you everything when I get back.” I then look to Celestia. “I recommend that he be watched by someone you trust, maybe someone who just recently moved to town, that is fireproof?”  “Hmmm, I think I may know someone.” Celestia said, looking at Spike,  Twilight sees this and gets between Spike and everyone else. “What!? I am sorry Princess but I refuse to let a monster into my home, who knows what it will do to us...maybe worse than this!” She lights her horn up and her face starts to become blurry, then it goes back to normal only now there are three large claw marked scars on her face, from the bottom left to the top right of her face. “Oh man, a Digimon did that to you?” Impmon asked Twilight in shock, “I’m….I’m sorry that happened to you. I really am.” Twilight glares at Impmon. “Like you care, monster.” I growl at that and step between Impmon and her.  “Hey, I get that you had a traumatic experience with a Digimon before, but that's no reason to accuse all Digimon of being evil, or should we judge magic users on what a few bad ones have done, or maybe all Goddess Clan members for what Nightmare Moon threatened to do?” I ask her, making her back up. Most of her new friends hug her but Applejack seems to be thinking about what I said.  “He is right Twilight.” Celestia said to Twilight, “You mustn’t judge an entire race all because of the actions of one. I know you were hurt, but you mustn’t let your anger cloud your judgment.” Twilight looks down and hugs herself. “Ok princess, I will do my best.” I smile at that then hear someone groan and look over to see Agumon waking up.  "Did the dark masters knock me out again?" He asked, rubbing his head.  I chuckle and walk over to him and growl at the guards making them back off. “No, actually you had a black gear in you.” I tell him and hold out my claw to help him stand.  "A black gear?" He asked, taking my claw and standing up. "I haven't seen one of those since Devimon attacked."  “Yeah, he is a jerk, thankfully me and my friends could help stop him.” I smile and start to talk with him and call Applejack over.  Dillan’s POV I smile as James and Applejack talking with Agumon, before looking back at Twilight and her scar. Looking down a little I think back to everything and everyone that the iccicleann hurt, the time in ice, and now the flood. I smile again and walk over to Twilight, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Bad experience with a Digimon right?"  She looks at me with suspicion and mistrust. “Yes, a black cat-looking monster attacked me when I was a little girl when all I did was try to give it some food.”  "Must have been a Blackgatomon. They have a really hard time trusting people." I said, smiling softly at her. "Wanna talk about it? I've had my own experiences with trauma, just ask your brother I snapped at him earlier because of it."  She looks away and puts a hand on her face as she uses her magic to hide the scar again. “What's to talk about? I tried to help a monster and got hurt because of it.” I sigh and tap her shoulder, getting her to look at me, I Kneel down and pull up the leg of my jeans showing her a black frostbitten foot. "Same here, the thing is, life isn't all it appears to be. Aliens, Digimon, and people all have so many emotions that if we're having a bad day we could snap. You weren't here for it but my world is completely flooded by the same being that did this to my foot. Canterlot is beachfront property."  She gasps and covers her mouth as tears form in her eyes. “So...everyone is...is..” I sigh. "No, I used my powers and the help of a powerful magic user to create a dome over ponyville and all the smaller pony settlements. However, I'm sure you can imagine how traumatic it's been for everyone there."  She nods and sniffles softly. “What did you do after that?”  "Well, after defeating the iccicleann, the alien that froze everything, I befriended it." I  said smiling softly. She blinks in confusion trying to understand what I just said. “B-but it destroyed everything! How could you j-just...befriend a monster?”  I smile softly at her. "because I knew it wasn't a monster, it was misguided. Its creator, its father, told it to do all that in order to prove it was loyal to him. He took its trust and destroyed it and manipulated the iccicleann into doing his evil desires. Once it found out the truth… it lost all motivation to do anything. So me and the creator of my watch befriended it and gave it a home on another planet." I said, sighing again. "Things aren't always as they appear, I'm never going to forget or forgive the iccicleann for what happened, but I know that it won't change anything."  Twilight looked down, no doubt thinking about what I said, then she looked up at me, “I….I understand what you are saying, and...I think I will give uh, what was his name again?” Twilight asked me, no doubt asking what Impmon's name is. "Impmon." I smile with a chuckle. Twilight nods and looks over at the Digimon talking to each other. “I will give Impmon a chance.”  I smile and glance at her, chuckling. "That's good, and I have a question for you." Twilight looks back at me. “What is that?”  "Want me to remove your scar?" I asked, smirking at the look of shock on her face. "I can remove it, or shrink it, or just make it fade so you don't have to hide it." Twilight gave me a shocked look, “Y-you can do that?!” she asked me,  I chuckle and lean in to whisper in her ear. "I have a transformation that can create entire universes, a scar is simple." Twilight just stared at me, her left eye twitching while her mane started to become disheveled. "Oh crap, hey Celestia I think I broke your student!" I called over to Celestia, getting everyone's attention.  James’s POV I look over at Dillan and facepalm when I see even human twilight has her freakouts. “Oh no, she is Twilighting.” I said.  “Twilighting? What do you mean?” Agumon asked.  “It is something her friends will say when she starts panicking over small things or over think things.” I whisper to him. “Oh, and that is what she is doing right now?” Agumon asked me,  "More like freaking out because I told her about alien X." Dillan said as Celestia talks to twilight. “Who?” Agumon asked in confusion, I tap my chin before I say. “It is a transformation of his that lets him control most aspects of reality, though he has to convince two other personalities in order to use the full power of that body.” I explain.  "Yeah kinda told her how it was used once to recreate the universe." Dillan said, chuckling a little. I facepalm. “Dude, she literally just stopped Nightmare Moon a few minutes ago so yeah good job breaking the world's hero.”  I shake my head and look at Applejack. “Thank you again for watching over Agumon while I am gone.” “It’s no problem James.” Applejack replied with a nod,  I look over at Dillan. “Well, everything is settled on my end, so whenever you are ready we can go.” I tell him as Apple Bloom walks over then her digivice starts to beep.  Dillan raised an eyebrow. "What's with the beeping?"  “I have no clue.” I said as Apple Bloom holds it up and then it shines a light onto Dillan and then data flies around Dillan before going into the digivice. Then cards start to materialize and fall to the ground one after another and more and more data starts coming out of Dillan's ultramatrix. "Huh, neat." Dillan said, picking up the card. "looks like you can copy displaced powers and make cards out of them."  I watch as the pile of cards continues to grow. “Holy cow, how many cards are there going to be?” I ask.  "Um well, if it's making them out of all my transformations that are unlocked… probably around a hundred cards." Dillan said. "I have all the ones from the show, plus a few pokemon, a Saiyan, a namekian, Frieza, and some other stuff."  “Damn.” I said watching for a while. Then I look at Dillan. “I wonder if you can scan Digimon?”  Dillan held his chin in thought. "No, Digimon don't have DNA. While they are smart enough and the Omnitrix has mixed ben's DNA with nonorganic DNA, Digimon are data, not really possible to mix data with DNA without some backlash… though azimuth has never met a Digimon so who knows maybe he can upgrade it."  I tilt my head. “It should be possible, I mean there is biomerge digivolution.” I say, and Agumon and Apple Bloom look at me confused.   "Yeah but as it said in the show that was when they were data in the digital world. And when Dobermon gave his life to give it to them temporarily in the human world." Dillan said.  “Eh, I guess that is true.” I said and saw that the digivice was done making cards, and Twilight also seemed to have calmed down. “Oh look who is back.”  Dillan smiles at her. "So want me to remove the scar?"  Twilight smiles and nods tears in her eyes. “Yes please.” Dillan smiles and pushes down on his ultimatrix, in a flash he became a big bipedal being made of stars that wasn't moving. I back up from him and pull Impmon away from him. “Do not touch him.” After what seemed like an hour, his head moves as he looked at Twilight. "Motion carried!" He said as his hand rose to Twilight's face, her scar itself painlessly getting pulled off of her face and vanished.  Everyone gasps at the impossible and Celestia herself seems scared. “How?” I hear her whisper to herself.  Dillan returned to normal, sighing. "Damn those two can talk."  I chuckle. “Well, they are total opposites.” I said, then I look at Impmon. “Go ahead and pick out some cards for you and spike to use.”  "Careful, who knows what some of them can do." Dillan said as he pops up his ultimatrix again, pausing as twilight suddenly hugs him.  "Thank You Thank You Thank You!" She said happily, tears in her eyes.  Dillan chuckles and pats her back. "It's no problem, just remember what I said ok?"  Twilight nods and wipes her eyes as she goes over to her friends. While Impmon is picking up lots of cards. “Thanks for the cards Pineapple head.”   Dillan grabbed the card impmon picked up and looked through them, taking only one out of the entire stack. "sorry but no alien X modifying." I tilt my head. “I doubt a single card can make me as powerful as one of them.”  Dillan held up the card he took as I read the card. Celestial divolution. “Wow, it lets me digivolve into a Digimon version of a celestialsapien.”  "Yeah like I said, no." Dillan said, putting the card in his pocket. "At least not for now."  I cross my arms and huff. “Honestly I wouldn't want to use it if I have the same restrictions as you do, but I would want to have it on me in case I actually needed something that strong.” I say, then look at another one, this one gives me magic for a short time. “Huh neat.”  “What did you get?” Applebloom asked me, trying to look at the card I was looking at, causing me to chuckle and show her, “Wow, that’s cool.” she said, “I agree, maybe we can try that one later.” I say, before giving the cards.  Dillan sighs and smiles, handing me the digivolution card. "Go ahead." I smile and nod taking the card and handing it to Apple Bloom. “Keep that safe.” “Will do James.” Applebloom replied with a nod.  "You guys ready to go?" Dillan asked me and Applebloom.  We nod and step closer together not knowing how we will travel. “Ready, Freddy.”  Dillan nodded and pushed his ultimatrix down again, turning into a large golden metallic alien. Clockwork I think its name was. “Neat, what are ya gonna do with that form?” Apple Bloom asked.  "While in vis form I can open portals in time and space, creating portals to other realities." He spoke with a heavy German accent.  Apple Bloom’s eyes go wide with stars in them. “Wow! So cool!”  "Vou are easily impressed." Dillan said. "Though in my current form I can only manipulate time, I shall have to go ultimate to get uz to my dimension." He said, confusing everyone in the courtyard, as he turned and pushed his ultimatrix, a light blue aura flowing around him as he changed again. The golden metallic metal of clockwork became shiny and silver as he grew in height, though that was because of a futuristic hovering device under him. The section that had the ultimatrix symbol was now more of a swinging grandfather clock, as the key in his head grew bigger. "Ultimate clockwork!" “Whoa! That’s so awesome!” Applebloom said, stars in her eyes,  I look him over and smirk. “It is neat, but I wonder how fast you can run in that form.” I said then chuckle a bit.  "Considering I can freeze time, I'm pretty sure I vould vin any race." Dian said with a mechanical chuckle before the pendulum in his chest began swinging faster. "voud better get close, I'm about to transport vus."  “How close do we have to be?” Applebloom asked him, my answer was to get us both closer and out a hand and claw on him and I wave at Impmon before we teleport.  I stare wide-eyed as we fly through what looks like cosmic clouds and galaxies, as hundreds of white streams of light fly past. "Vis is all ze timelines sat exist within ze displaced multiverse." Dillan said, pointing to a clear timestream as we see a Charizard. "Zat is Draco, a friend of mine."  “Ooo, neat, Say if you wanted could you travel to the prime timeline?” I ask him.  "Ves actually, I met ben prime and Ben twenty-three during the iccicleanns attack." Dillan said as we approach a light blue timeline. "Vere we are." He said before we entered the bright blue timestream.  We appeared on the balcony of what looked like Canterlot castle, however, there was nothing but a cast sea below us. The sound of crashing waves echoing up to us as we inhaled the scent of the sea.  “Oh wow, what a beautiful beach. where are we?” Apple Bloom asked.  In a single bright flash, Dillan had returned to normal and turned apple bloom so she saw the rest of the castle and Canterlot. "This is my dimension's Canterlot castle, I told you the world flooded."   Apple Bloom looks down at the sea and gasps when she sees ponyville. “Ah didn’t believe ya before but this is horrible.”  I pat her back gently then look at Dillan. “So what now?” "We go down to ponyville, my house is down there." Dillan said. "As I mentioned before there's a dome covering the entirety of ponyville, including the Apple family farm. Though I'm going to have to go down and teleport you in. Also don't freak out when you meet my roommate." He chuckled, before turning into Ripjaws from the original series and jumping into the sea. I watch him dive into the water, then I turn to Apple Bloom. “Bloom, I don’t know where we are in his timeline. So I want you to promise to not tell anyone back home any details of what you see.”  "Ah understand, but well I'm confused. Is his world not the same time… um speed as ours?" Apple bloom asked with a raised eyebrow. “I don't know, but when he is in his clockwork form if he wanted he could drop us off before we left.” I tell her before we are blinded by a bright flash next to us.  "And who might you be?" A soft regal voice said to our right, as we both turned to see pony princess Celestia.  "A talking horse?" Apple bloom asked, a confused look on her face  I elbow Apple Bloom. “Hello Princess Celestia, We are guests of Dillan’s.” I say with a smile.  Apple bloom's eyes widen at me as I say Celestia's name before the princess chuckled. "I see, well welcome to our world. I must apologize for what you see. Azimuth is currently working on a way to remove the water. Though if he can't he has said he May be able to bring the pony settlements to the surface as islands."  “Wow, this Azimuth fella must be super smart.” Apple Bloom said.  I smile and nod. “You bet he is. And I apologize for Apple Bloom’s reaction when she first saw you as you can see she's from a human version of Equestria even though I told her that in parallel universes she is a pony I guess it didn't really sink in until now.” I say to Celestia.  "It's quite alright, and Azimuth is very smart Apple Bloom. He's the one that created Dillan's ultimatrix and is known as the smartest person in five arguably six galaxies." Celestia smiled softly “Wow!” Apple Bloom says with stars in her eyes.  I chuckle and smile before tapping my chin. “Hold on I thought it was Albedo that made the ultimatrix?” I ask her.  Celestia smiles. "In the… what was it called… 'prime timeline' it was. However, in this reality Azimuth is much better at listening to what others have to say… according to Dillan. And worked with albedo to make a perfected ultimatrix, combining the abilities of the Omnitrix and albedo's idea of evolution. It's opened up a lot of new data for Azimuth from what I've heard."  “Huh, that is cool. Hmm haha oh man I just had an awesome yet dangerous idea.” I smirk and lean closer before conspiratorially whispering. “A multiversal council of Azimuths.”  "Sounds like the guardians of owa." Dillan's voice said behind us, making us jump. "Hey, Tia."  "Greetings Dillan, is the teleporter machine on the fritz again?" Celestia asked him. "Sadly, it looks like I'm gonna have to take them around the long way. Unless you could teleport us with magic?" Dillan asked her, smiling. "Unless… again… you two want to see the long way." “What the long way is exactly?” Applebloom asked, "There's a magic tunnel that connects canterlot to ponyville, and ponyville has ones that lead and connect to the rest of the pony settlements." Dillan told her.  I shrug and look at Dillan. “Either way is fine to me, also you should be careful pulling that batman shi-...stuff. You are gonna get decked in the face one day.”  "Oh, I have been, mainly by my roommate." Dillan chuckled, as he walks over to Celestia. "Everything ok on Galvin prime?"  "I was not aware you knew where we went." Celestia said, blinking. "But yes it is all well."  "Considering I sensed Azimuth's energy before you all vanished, not hard to figure out." Dillan said, motioning for me and Bloom to follow him.  I nod so me and Apple Bloom get closer to him. “We are ready, let's get going, oh and bye pony Celestia!” I say with a smile and wave at her.  “Bye!” Applebloom said, waving at Celestia as well. "Farewell, oh and Dillan Azimuth said he wished to speak to you about something." Celestia said as we all walked away.  "Got it, thanks Tia!" Dillan said as we walked through the throne room doors. "Sorry about the walk, we've developed teleportation pads with Azimuth and the plumbers' help. But because technology is so new to this Equestria things aren't going so well."  “I see, I don’t even know If my Equestria has computers yet.” I said and scratch my head. “If there aren’t and we need to get to the digital world we are screwed.”  "Hmm…" Dillan thought out loud. "Maybe clockwork’s digicard could help."  “You mean like how you travel the multiverse with it?” I ask.  "Yeah, maybe since it uses data to use it it'll let you travel the digiverse." Dillan suggested. “Maybe, I will have to try it later.” I said and watch as Apple Bloom looked around, especially at any pony guards that we passed along the way. “By the way Dillan did you get all the scans of each of the people back home?” "Yeah, I got a scan from apple bloom, a scan from twilight when she hugged me, a scan from Celestia when she hugged me. And while you were talking to applejack my ultimatrix scanned rainbow dash." Dillan said with a smile. I tilt my head. “What about spike?” I ask as we walk over to some kind of platform.  Dillan blinked. "Aww man, I forgot." I chuckle and smile. “Maybe when you drop us off you can get a scan.” I said.  "That'd be great, I love learning what new scans can give me." Dillan smiles as we head into the city itself, and make our way down to the edge of the water  I nod and tap my chin. “Hey, why don’t you ask Azimuth if he can upgrade the Omnitrix to scan digital life forms, then he can give me something so I can scan every Digimon I come across for ya.”  Dillan laughs. "Actually funny enough, that displaced that we saw in the timestream. Draco. I gave him a similar device that lets him scan and become different pokemon and sends me any new species he finds. Well.. he doesn't become the species he gains their typing and only slight changes happen, similar to kyurem."  “Huh that sounds neat but I don't want to risk my data becoming corrupted, so I don't want a digitrix.” I said with a chuckle.  Dillan chuckles. "Well how about this, let azimuth scan you to try and give me the ability to become a Digimon and I'll ask him to upgrade your digivice to scan data for not only me but maybe make cards out of the Digimon you meet."  “Hmmm that sounds alright, but I hope he doesn’t accidentally break it. If a digivice breaks it is nothing but data inside.” I said as we walk down the tunnel.  “Wait, if a Digivice breaks, does that mean we won’t be partners if ours breaks?” Applebloom asked me,  I look at Apple Bloom. “Technically yes but we can still choose to be together so long as both of us are still alive. The only example of a third-generation, or really any device breaking to my memory was when Beelzemon killed Leomon and absorbed his data. Which severed the link between his partner and him, the screen was completely filled with static and she ended up dropping the digivice and it cracked before breaking into pieces before deleting itself.” “That’s horrible!” Applebloom said,  "Yeah, but to be fair he was being manipulated by evil forces and overwhelmed by power. I mean impmon doesn't act like that anymore." Dillan said, quickly covering his mouth.  “That was Impmon!?” Apple Bloom yells shocked. I glare at Dillan.  "Now to be fair, like I said he was in a bad place and under evil influence, similar to the black gears." Dillan said rubbing the back of his head. "Also no pineapple head there was technically two digivice breaking in tamers, Takato and Guilmon's original one, that red one." He said pointing to my digivice. "Broke when Takato forced guilmon to digivolve to mega when Beelzemon killed Leomon and then they got a new one." He said clearly changing the subject. Apple Bloom looks at the digivice. “So even if it breaks ah van get a new one?” She asks.  I rub my head. “Kinda? I am not sure, but still best to keep it safe.” I said as we come up to a large door.  "They got a new one because of their bond in the original dimension. They went through so much together that their bond and connection made a new one appear. So don't get careless." Dillan said to Apple bloom as he knocked on the door. "Hey Mac, open up! It's me!" He called.  “Big Mac?” Apple Bloom looks up excited to see another version of her brother. I chuckle and wait for the look of shock.  “Hey, Dillan before we go home I want a picture of the Apple family and mane six if they have time.” I say with a smirk.  Dillan laughed as the door slowly creaked open. "I'm sure they'd be happy to." He said. "Howdy Dillan." A deep voice Apple bloom obviously recognized said, as a tall red stallion stood in the door. "Welcome home."  "Thanks." Dillan smiled, his head turning to look at Apple Bloom. "I think you can guess who this is?"  "Well, she looks like mah sis." Big mac said, rubbing his head. "sort of."  Apple Bloom stares at Big Mac in surprise before she squeals and hugs him. “He is so adorable!” Dillan and I laughed at the blush on Big mac's face as we walked through. "Come on Bloom, if you like that you'll die when you see yourself."  Apple Bloom gasps and follows after us. “I gotta see ma self!”  I smirk and look at Dillan. “So meet the Apple family, then the mane six, and then we go meet the first thinker?” I ask him.  "Well, um…" Dillan said, whispering to me so Apple bloom couldn't hear. "Granny smith died a few months ago here My eyes widen and then I lower my head. “Oh, well that doesn't happen to every timeline, right? Plus she lives on a farm, I am sure she can handle it.” I whisper back.  “What are y’all whispering about?” Applebloom asked us, a confused look on her face,  “Just some things about this timeline Bloom.” I say to her then look at Dillan. “So lead the way, oh hero of the universe.” I say with a chuckle.  Dillan chuckles. "As for the rest, Applejack is on Azimuth's planet for whatever reason, and This dimension Apple bloom is probably hanging out with my roommate. He actually used to be a villain here until this reality vision of you and your friends helped reform him." Dillan said to Apple bloom. “Ah helped reform a bad guy?” Bloom said, smiling. Then blinks. “Ah have friends?”  Dillan blinked and facepalmed, before opening his eyes apparently having an idea. "Well in this dimension you do, their names are Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. Maybe you'll meet them in your reality sometime."  I sigh and smirk. “I am actually gonna try to speed up their meeting, I am sure the other two will get Digimon too seeing how close they are normally to Bloom. Oh speaking of them.” I rush over to Dillan and whisper. “Do they have their cutie marks?”  Dillan nods. "Yep."  I groan and look at Apple Bloom before looking at Dillan. “Think if we ask they will keep their marks covered?”  “Again with whispering? What are y’all talking about that you don’t want me to hear?” Applebloom asked, no doubt a bit annoyed. Dillan sighs. "Ok, Apple bloom you need to know something. Every dimension is different, things can happen or not happen all depending on certain circumstances. And not everything is the same, for example, your brother in this world is married." Dillan said, shocking Apple bloom. “Ma brother is married!?” Bloom yells loud enough to get almost everyone’s attention. I had covered my ears and groan. “Right, I forgot the CMC had that little quark of yelling everything.”  "Yes." Dillan said calmly. "And in this world, you and your friends have your cutie marks." He said covering her mouth before she screamed again. "However that doesn't mean it'll be the same as the one you'll get. Since you're a tamer now for all we know your cutie mark could be a Digimon or something. Don't freak out overseeing them because they're probably gonna be different from the one you'll get."  Apple Bloom raises an eyebrow and once Dillan removes his hand she asks. “James mentioned cutie Mark before, are you two talking about emblems?”  She points to her blank shoulder. “Ah don’t got mind yet, but if ya are saying this me does it may give me a clue on how to get mine.” She said with a smile.  I tap my chin before looking at Dillan. “I think there is a bigger fundamental change between my Apple Bloom and yours. In the story, she's only around seven years old however this Apple Bloom is obviously a teenager so my Apple Bloom is actually much more mature than the story counterpart.” Dillan nods. "like I said, different realities, different ways of working." He said as we approached a small wooden cabin near the Everfree forest. "here we are, welcome to my abode."  I look over the house and smile. “Nice house, I wonder If me and the other Digimon should stay with our partners or get a house for ourselves.” I said rubbing my chin.  "Impmon mister bada boom in a house without his partner's supervision… not a good idea." Dillan said, opening the door for us. We walk in and look around, seeing a fairly simple house with a single couch and a kitchen. However, what surprised me the most, was a medium centaur with red skin in the kitchen chopping up carrots.   I blink staring at him for a moment before I look at Dillan. “Yeah, no way I will trust the guy in my world if I meet him.”  Bloom peeks around me and asks. “Who is that? What is he? And where's me?”  "Ah hello Dillan." Tirek said smiling at us. "Please be quiet, the crusaders are asleep." He said gesturing to the couch, where three small bundles of blankets were slowly moving up and down with breathing. Bloom smiles and starts to go over there but I grab her shirt and shake my head. “Hello Tirek, good to see you here reformed and not working with Queen Chrysalis and Cozy Glow.” I said to him.  "Who?" Tirek asked me, raising an eyebrow as Dillan chuckles.  "That part of the story was avoided in this dimension." Dillan said. “I can see that. Though I honestly think the Tirek from the shot came close to being returned if he had more positive interactions rather than working with more villains.” I say to Dillan before saying. “So what do we do? Pony bloom is asleep and …” I look around my eyes widen when I see my Apple Bloom lifting the blanket to look at the CMC. Dillan chuckles and walks over. "They're cute right? Just don't wake them up." He told her, before walking to a closet and rummaging through the junk inside. I walk over to the closet and ask. “Are you looking for the cards?” I pick up a box and look inside.  "Yeah, I've been here for about a year and a half at this point. So they'll be in the back here somewhere, honestly, I forgot I had them in my pocket when I got displaced." He said before grabbing a small tin from the back. "Here you go." He said handing me the tin as Dillan's Apple bloom began waking up.  "Um Dillan, why is there another human in mah face?" AB asked.  I look over and roll my eyes when I see my Apple Bloom waving at her pony counterpart but I smile and take the box. “Thanks, Dillan, hopefully these will count as actual Digimon cards for the device I don't know if they need a chip inside them or if it's just a barcode on the side of the card.” Dillan smirked and grabbed a card out of the box, and looked to my Apple bloom. "Hey, human Apple bloom!" He called getting her attention as his Apple eyes widened. "Swipe this card!" He called throwing it to her.  She fumbles to catch it but once she has it she looks at it and shrugs before sliding it through the digivice. “Digimodify." She looked up at the card's name. "Armor digivolution courage active!" She called as my eyes widened as the armor digivolution egg of courage appeared next to me. I watch as it spins around me so I shrug and say. “Guilmon armor digivolve to!” And then the egg phases into me and I glow brightly as I grow more bipedal and armor appears on my legs and arms. I punch out of the flames making sharp blade-like claws pop out of the armor around my hands. “Flamedramon, the fire of courage!”  "Whoa, red Flamedramon, cool." Dillan's aid smiling, as I noticed the Pony CMC were all awake now. I look myself over and smirk. “Cool, or should I say hot?” I chuckle at my joke.  Dillan shakes his head. "Um Dillan? Who?" Sweetie Belle asked him, confused as she looks at me and Bloom. I smile and wave my hand at her. “Hi girls, my name is James, I am a displaced I guess.” I say to her. Then I look at Bloom to find her hugging and petting her pony counterpart making me laugh.  "Uh Dillan help…" Dillan's Apple bloom asked as Dillan pulls Bloom away from her.  "Bloom, stop hugging yourself to death." Dillan said. “Awww but she is adorable.” Bloom said.  I walk over and carefully place a hand on her shoulder. “Keep in mind Bloom they are people, not animals, how would you feel if they started doing that to you?”  Dillan's Apple bloom nods. "Yeah, even though yer me from another dimension, ah ain't a dog!"  Bloom looks down and closes her eyes. “Yer right, I am sorry Apple Bloom, you two uh..other ponies.” She smiles sheepishly at the end.  I hold up a hand. “Don't be upset at her for not knowing your names, in our timeline you three haven’t met yet.” I explain to them.  "It's alright, I'm sweetie belle." Sweetie belle smiles. "And I'm scootaloo!" Scootaloo smiled.  "It's alright… me." Apple bloom smiles. I smile at Dillan. “You know Dillan, I think after the day we had or should I say nightmare, I think me and Bloom could use some apple family cooking if you think they would have us.” I wink at him where his Apple Bloom won't see. Dillan smiles. "Sure, I'll call them."  “Cool, but I want to stay like this, I want to see how long it stays active.” I say looking down at myself. Dillan nods before heading upstairs. "I'll be right back." I nod and look over to Bloom and smile seeing her and the pony CMC getting along and becoming friends.  Dillan walked back down the stairs, smiling at us. "alright onward to the Apple family farm!"
