Mason mind
Where am I? All around me is black. Black and blue for no reason. I look around and see that i’m in some sort of back up unit. It must be, for if the field unit or human me gets damaged I don’t go to the big me and still be in pain or freak out in 10 mile high robot that can blow up the mountain and city with it.
As I look around I see a screen with the words “ warning all runts to field unit and mine unit has been blocked off by an outside force…. that shouldn't possible." That’s not good, not good at all.
“Well hello there” and that’s something that should not be here as well. I turn around and see the last thing I though I'd see in Equestria. A human, a mother friggin' human. “ Hello Metroplex or Mason, my name is Time Splinter and do I have the deal of a lifetime” and he’s a door to door salesman, of course, just my luck I get stuck with the only other human here and he's a door to door salesman.
“Okay, one; i’m not a door to salesman, two; i’m an enlist for the war of shadows, and three i’m not reading your mind i’m a fourth wall.” Ok that makes sha- wait a moment, does that mean that my life is just a story on a website…. it better be good or there’s going to be some ass to kick.
(Editor: Then lets see you enjoy the drop in quality.)
“Ok as I was saying, i’m a recruiter for a war that’s going on with the displacement and you have the chance to help in it. No, i’m not going to say what the displacement is, you're just going to have to find out your self.” “ Who the hell are you, what the hell is the Displacement, and what the hell is going on!?”
“ One; I said that my name is Time Splinter, two; I said that i’m not going to say who they are, six... no wait three; I’m here to recruit you for the War of Shadows. It’s going to help get some being that would like to see everything that you hold dear gone, dead, no longer here, you get the idea? Look all I need you to do is fight in this war and you help me stop some being that would like to kill us all ok. Before you ask, no one will die or stay dead for very long.”
I thought about this and thought of some words that the hero always says when they have a chance to leave but stays to fight…. but i’m going to say on better “we wing it”.
“ Ok Mr. Time Splinter, which side do you say is on the side of Harmony?”
“ Oh that would be Lea, his side use the Elements of Harmony.” Ok I'll be on that said and can you make it so it would look like I never left here when I go to fight in the war.”
“ I think I can do that oh and you should be waking up right about... now.” I then black out, the last thing I see for some reason was nyan cat.
Metroplex pro
I started to wake up in my real body, still in city mode as I used the cameras to look around the city, ponies were starting to get settled into the homes that had sprung up from me. As I looked around I see some nobles complaining that they should be the only ones who should live the city and the commoners should stay in the ruined city.
I see some ponies giving out food and water, some giving out blankets and clothes but mostly just the blankets and some help to find a place in the city for the refugees to stay in for the moment. I kept on looking to see that some ponies trying to find a place big enough for some orphans, but for some reason they can’t anyplace to keep them all in the same place. I have no idea why this place is big for 15 meter height robots so there's got to be a place for them. Just as I thought that a building pops up in front of them that, big enough for the ponies to stay with plenty of room.
I surveyed on, looking through the city when I got an alert from the field unit, “ field unit repair time 03:21:54” oh so that’s how long I got until I can go back into my human body. Well i can wait….
Please no. Not one of those multistory crossover wars. Please spare this story from such death. I have seen those attempts at war end too many otherwise promising stories. They don't work. Good stories have their writing quality drop almost to the level of the worst ones as they get pulled down by the unedited literary nightmares that are halfway impossible to read without getting a headache. If they are even lucky enough to get anymore chapters instead of just being completely forgotten as the co-operation (and I'm using the word loosely) between authors fails completely.
Sorry if I seem rude but I have already lost too many interesting stories to the graveyards like these Displaced Wars. As far as I'm concerned they are a disease.
6481426 Too bad, the war has already started! Mine is the first to work, so suck it up. I've already got the first chapter out. And it's better thought of than most of these 'diseases'.
6481517 Better thought out is not much when compared to the others like it. The first such war was started by some of the most respected Displaced authors back then and the damn thing almost killed the whole Displaced genre. Seriously I was rather exited about the idea when first was starting up but reality raised its ugly head soon enough. I have seen enough of these attempts to stay away from them nowadays.
Honestly hearing about another war just saddens me. I see the constant crossovers eat away the quality of otherwise promising stories often enough without these multi-crossover wars making things worse.
To me these just mean more stories that can just be removed from my tracked list. Sorry about my attitude. I know it can seem quite insulting but I'm just so damn tired of losing interesting stories to overly ambitious attempts that turn into pissing contests behind the scenes before they are halfway through assuming they even get anywhere that close before people start dropping out when nothing gets done.
6481557 Problem, yes. I tried to get into that and got sad too. I found the problem and remedied it. First, I am the only constant. The War of Understanding failed because one author stopped and broke everything up, so I am both sides. It's not so much a war, as a multiplayer videogame, and I've already got the first chapter. It's all really a skill booster, and a time distortion where the authors can have any timeline they want(so pretty much their characters can be half way through the story when the authors just started it, and be in the war, or have it be after the story). I'll have small fights rather than the too ambitious ones you are probably thinking of.
I may not be the best writer, so I guess it mat be underwhelming. If anything, it's more of a strike team.
6481604 Well good luck with the war then. I'm honestly still going to stay away from it. Too many bad experiences already for me to have the patience or interest to give it a chance. The quality drop with 'normal' crossovers in most cases has been bad enough to leave me sour and the previous two wars failing so miserably seriously didn't improve my opinion.
That said good luck but I wash my hands of this business.
6481682 Okay, I understand.
Good chapters can't wait for the next one
As long as that whole 'Displaced War' thing if it doesn't affect the story I don't mind.......................................................
On another note I don't know if it been asked but what he gonna do about Energon?
I know he's more or less in 'Sleep Mode' and doesn't burn much 'E' but still...
Wait, there's ANOTHER Displaced war!? What happened to the last one?
6482749 It died before it got off the ground.
I always thought there was more than one Displaced War..one of Understanding, a Light Vs Shadow. Merchant Vs Madness (aka Nightingale Essence The Musician), each a separate war.
after all "infinite universes. infinite possibilities!" ones where metro has won/lost/led/been the champion/villain of the war. or not even taken place.
this is just one possibility in one universe of one war in the multiverse
....an I'm not sure if my summary made any sense. but I just spent the last 2 hours trying to put this into said summary after my brain exploded a couple of times (headache caused from trying to understand infinity, time travel, the multiverse, or a combination can have that effect owwwwww)
Ok a couple of things
First off his name is Time Spinner not Time Splinter
Second its Lee not Lea
Third just curious, I know about the War of Understanding but what other war(s) were there?
Finally should Metroplex really be in this war, I mean come on, the dude is a gigantic robot that can level mountains, the only person who could take on something like that would be someone who is like god tier or extremely powerful, I'm talking people like Loki, Golden Freddy, Gilgamesh, and Jason.
6483533
he's coming in near the end of the war and he's a badass that's why his coming in
6482858 Well, that explains alot -_- .... Oh well, lets see what happens next
Interesting. Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
6483533
actually, metroplex is canonically weack to attack from the inside (read, a single decepticon infiltrating can neutralize him) as he have no real protection outside of his "mini-con" and once he fell down it require way too long fr him to get back up, and it is defensel in the meantime
pretty big development imprecision, arent they?
6508275 good thing this the game one, he does not have anyway to get inside when in robot from.
6623435 This is Fall of Cybertron Metroplex. It wasn't said that he had a inside of him when in robot from.
6623435 Rodimus Primes final order...was to restore to life he who came before him as leader of the Autobots...he who was once known simply as Orion Pax...he who became...Optimus Prime.
So, Folteren’s Displaced Allies brought a Warlord Titan, Lee brought a Metroplex.
We shall definitely be seeing a big robot battle in the War.
6695766 That little bitch is going down
6696059 Heheheh....we shall see.
And I'm especially interested to see how Metroplex gets past the Void Shields, and survives the Volcano Cannon. Just because Metroplex is bigger does not mean that the Warlord Titan cannot pack a deadly punch.
6696095 the things like a midget to him and he fights a guy with weapons better than that almost every day. I'm not afraid at all.
6696099 Have you ever heard of the Vortex Warhead?
Destroys everything that the Vortex touches. And the vortex moves around the battlefield, so there is no true escape. My Warlord is equipped with one.
6696123 "cough" has a direct like to primus "cough"
6696424 Don't know what that is...
Although I'm now starting to see what BronyParasite meant by Displaced being too OP these days...
6697408 Naa, Metroplex was meant to be over OP to big guys.
6697624
.....You DO know that BP will most likely have him nerfed immensely to keep the sides even, right?
6697700 Oh who knows.
Oh my god.....more please
Question: Update?
Can you do more please
Update.
UPDATE ALREADY
are you going to finish the story I would like to see what will happen next
Please update.

9303404
because I was young and had terrible writing skill to the point most of this story was basically written by someone else and I didn't have a plan to deal with the story past ON MY GOD/FUCK YEAH. to quote Jurrasic park
i.pinimg.com/236x/fc/bc/e7/fcbce7c40db21f436e098f6c9dfd1725--best-quotes-ever-good-quotes.jpg
If you know anyone who would want to take over and give this story the writing and plot it deserves. Plz, let me know.
9303724
I don't know anyone but if you do find someone to adopt this story could you put a chapter on here with a link to said person
9606503
I was planning on doing that so no problem here.
