The Great Fandom Man!

ACT 2 PART 5

I woke up to screaming and a crowbar being tossed at my head.

Starlight Glimmer had my bound on a table, trying to pry off a picture on my butt. I was still a unicorn, but I had no magic skill so I flicked my tail at one of my ultimatrix pads. I shifted into a brown earth pony with a green mane/tail and green ultimatrix disguised as emerald.

"Lady, if you wanted my butt so bad you could've asked me on a date," I said with a sly grin. I hope it was sly, I cant see my face. I probably smouldered or something!

"Cut the jokes-"

*screeeeeee*

"Well, I cut something there!" I have to admit, if I lost all of my super powers my gas would be my only redeeming super power. Starlight stopped pulling on my flank, falling back with a groan. "Light weight." I tried to break free with no luck. "Cortana, I need Goop."

"Are you sure?"

"Its too late to save that party guy and the longer I'm here- How much time do we have?"

"A minute."

"Give me Nightcrawler." My body turned into green smoke, reappearing next to the bindings as my version of the X-Men's Night Crawler with a green-white suit for a power boost. I ran out the door, teleporting into the sky. I found the sugar wagon and teleported to it, knocking out the ponies guarding it.

"You cant teleport your way to Displopolis from here."

"Watch me." I added Upgrade to the form mix, turning the wooden wagon into a make-shift armored vehicle. I sped by their junk yard, grabbing things to add as I teleported the cart to a great spot to use the found boilers as jet engines. I grew plane-like wings and flew us in the direction I faced.

"Displopolis is in the other direction!"

"Crap." I turned the vehicle as ponies pointed at me. "Give me Alien X! ... Never mind. I tried convincing them, but they wont help..."

"Yeah, I can see why."

"I wish I could instant transport... Or whatever Goku called his teleportation." I found myself in my super saiyan 2 form, holding the cart as junk fell around me.

"You did it once and you can do it again! Focus on your ki and imagine-"

"How will that help?! I cant see ki!"

"Imagine a waterfall, dang it!"

I closed my eyes, picturing a stream of water and the outhouse next to the Café Mew took us to on day two of being in the city. I opened my eyes, watching as we were there with the wagon of sugar. I quickly gave the sugar to Mew, who took it in his powers as I ran to the boy's room.


I let Guile's theme play out as the DJ worked on repairing her tech. Why was it broken? A Mega Man was competing with Metal Gear's Snake for Samus' heart and got a little clumsy with the metal blades. Robotboy from "Robotboy" flew over, apologizing for his friend's actions. Doc the "Doctor Who" Displaced- his appearance changes from David to Matt while keeping his outfit, voice, and buzzed hair the same -attempted to out dance "Five Nights at Freddy's" Marionette Displaced.

I watched sadly as Ember gave her pokeball to Box, leaving me to find someone to replace her. This celebration- besides the parties -reminds me of something. "Beautiful, isn't it?" I looked to my left to see Dexter from "Dexter's Laboratory", but he had a different suit. Sure it had its changes that most displaced would add to their original wardrobe or had their change in style, but most of this was recognizable.

"Are you Fusionfall Dexter?" I asked, smirking.

"Um... Yes. But people call me Coop, master of tech." We shook hands as we began comparing Cartoon Network's "Fusionfall" game and the displaced around us. We even talked about ourselves. "You have a Megas XLR?"

"Yes, but Rainbow Dash destroyed the head. By the way, it was Kevin's car."

Coop laughed, "Seriously? What other modifications did you add to it anyway?"

"Besides a regrettable new look, I have a Voltron merging function... But I need pilots for Voltron for it to work."

"Can I take a look at it?" Coop asked, "Maybe I can find a loop-hole."

"Sure- wait. Are you aware that you share the same name as Megas' driver AND a hero in Ben 10 with tech-related powers?"

"Looks like I just one upped Jenny Neutron."

"Who?" He pointed to a brown haired girl having some punch, wearing a red sweater with Jimmy Neutron's yellow atom symbol. "Huh, I'm starting to think the rejected displaced are sent to this universe."

"Says the ultimate nerd-fan boy."

"I could be wrong..."


Next thing I know: the DJ has his equipment working and my arm with my ultimatrix is being studied by Coop and Jenny Neutron while Mew is asking if I was listening.

"Sorry, what?" I asked dazed. A scream brought me back to my senses as I sat up in my seat.

Mew groaned, "We're being under attack by Halo aliens." Just as he said that, he grabbed a sword I knew as "Ascalon", donning its silver knight armor and severely injuring some Brutes to a bloody mess before tossing a few Grunts at a grunt driving a ghost. "Wow. I feel like medieval Jedi!"

"Where did you get that?!"

"You dropped it." Jenny answered, tinkering with the ultimatrix's circuit board. "Leeroy Jenkins is a bad role model."

"What are you doing?" I asked her, glaring.

"I heard through the grape vine that this thing I cant pronounce might give your ultimatrix an edge in this skirmish." She smirked, "Brain blast, I'm going to do some quick changes."

Coop stared at her work, commenting, "Don't cross the streams."

"Those aren't the same type. I localized a few ions that allow them to bond safely without implosion or a fallout." She was pushed out of the way by Doc, using his sonic screwdriver on my device.

"So sorry about that," he said, looking like David Tanant, "He needs some of the stuff you would've gotten rid of if I hadn't stopped you." He slapped everything together, taking a chip from Coop and placing it under the floating ultimatrix ring. His Matt face showed up as he said, "Geronimo!" I was transformed into pure Upgrade by his choice.

I shrugged, firing a laser from my eye at a Grunt before taking his ghost and an oncoming ghost. Using the parts, I became a decent sized giant robot that hovered around, firing at Brutes. Some Elites showed up, driving the Brutes away.

Arbiter smirked, "All clear. Sorry about the fight, we don't control our enemies."

Doc face palmed, "That wasn't supposed to happen-" As his hand slid down, he saw Dave Strider from "Homestuck" flipping him off. "Strider..."

"Was Upgrade supposed to be my edge?" I asked, looking down at Doc.

"No," he switched faces again, "you were supposed to have a cool ability involving time, but my rival Dave delayed the battle you learn about the equipment."

"Um... May I ask what it is?"

"The hint: Viewtiful Joe."

"This sucks."
