Celestia's POV
I was sitting on my throne, content with my life. The sun had just been raised, and it was going to be a beautiful day. Then the guard burst in.
"Your highness! I'm sorry to interrupt, but we found something under the castle!" He reported, giving me a salute. I sighed, before putting down my morning coffee and getting up.
"Alright, lead the way." I ordered, and he nodded, before turning back and walking down the halls. I followed, and he led me to the bottom of the castle, in it's basement. A hole was broken in one section of the dark and damp room. Inside was a hallway, small, but made out of pure gold. I walked forward, my guards flanking me, as I stared at the Grand hallway.
When we arrived at the end of the hallway, we were greeted by the rotting corpse of a bipedal creature sitting on a golden throne, with golden skulls decorating it, and faded parchments lined the stairs. I stared at it in awe, the sheer beauty of it enthralling. Then something sounded out.
"Abo-abo- ABOUT FUCKING TIME. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to find me in this damn mountain. Wait. Are you a horse? Sigh. Guess I'll have to wait another millenia." A deep voice echoed. I jumped back, startled. I searched around the room for the source of the voice, but could not find anything. My gaze fell back to the skeleton.
"He....Hello?" I asked, and the voice spoke back.
"Wait. You speak? A horse? Oh this is just wonderful. I'm on a planet of talking horses. What next, a world of sentient shit?"
"Uh, what's wrong with my species?" I asked, a glare settling on my face.
"I was hoping for a human, but I guess you will have to do. Now then, as for greetings, ahem. Hello, I'm The Emperor, and welcome to my golden home of nothingness. Now, you have one minute to explain who you are before I shit out a Warp storm over this planet." The voice replied, and I raised an eyebrow.
"I am Princess Celestia, Co ruler of the nation of Equestria. I demand you show yourself at once!" I answered, gazing around the room.
"First of all, is it not obvious? I'm the fucking skeleton on the throne. And also, you? Order me? HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. But no, seriously, you can't tell me to do shit. Then again, I literally can't do anything. Sigh." The skeleton laughed, and I stared at it in horror.
"What?! But how can a skeleton think?! How can it talk for that matter?!" I asked, confused.
"To tell you the truth, I have no idea. But this damn throne keeps me alive, so I have to suffer through this. Also, there's an unbearable itch on my nose. Don't know how that works either." The Emperor replied.
"Well, I see we will need to have this conversation another time, as much as I want some answers. I suppose it will have to wait until I can get my fellow princesses. Goodbye for now." I said, and turned away.
"Wait. At least leave me someone to talk with. I have been stuck here with no one to talk to for thousands of years. It gets very boring and lonely here." The Emperor said. I sighed, then motioned to one of my guards.
"Arrow Breaker, please stay and keep him company until I return. I have important things to do." I ordered, and the pegasus nodded before turning back to the throne.

Arrow Breaker's POV
I look up at the skeleton. "So, what's up?" I asked.
"I have so much to complain about. First of all, why am I here? Second, why is only one of my eyes like his? Third...." He droned on as I facehoofed. This was going to be a long day.....

Luna's POV
I sighed as somepony knocked on the door. I slowly got up out of bed and crawled over to the door. I opened it, and looked up to see Celestia staring at me.
"Sis....why art thou waking us at this time of day?" I asked, groggy.
"Luna, I have just discovered an unknown alien creature down in the basement. We need to gather you and the Element Bearers. Now." She answered, pulling me up off the floor with her magic. I stared at her quizzically.
"An alien? But sis, why would an alien take residence in our basement?" I questioned. She shrugged.
"I take it he was there since before the castle was made. He said he was stuck in there for millennia. But come on. We got to get Princess Twilight and her friends. They are more well equipped to handle a first greeting. Now get your flank up and get moving!" She replied, shaking me around in the telekinetic field surrounding me.
"Fine! Fine! I'm awake!" I shouted, and she released me, resulting in me plopping onto the floor. She smiled.
"Good. Now then, let's go." I followed her out the door and into the halls.

Twilight's POV
"Twilight! A letter from the Princess!" Spike called, and I looked over at him.
"She hasn't sent me a letter in a while. Wonder what this is about?" I asked myself, before trotting down the hall to his room. I still hadn't gotten used to this castle, though the giant tree in the main room did make it a bit....homier. I looked into Spike's room to see him holding a letter in front of me,
"Let's see..... Dear Twilight....yada yada.... I require you at Canterlot at once.... a new species was discovered?! Oh boy, a first encounter! Spike, let's get the girls. The princess wants us to greet a new species!" I shouted in glee. Spike rolled his eyes, before following me out the door.

YOUR DAMN RIGHT IT ISNT!
remember,Displaced. I'll add a chapter of how this unlucky asshole gets displaced in an unmoving chair as a decayed corpse later.
I feel bad for him. And there goes the feeling, replaced by disappointment.
This is awesome I need moar
6509693
Ask, and you shall receive.
Hmm... now how to have the two biggest 'Fourth Wall Fuckery' creatures in the Multiverse to interact...
I hope they don't notice me.
6509719 Hey is it weird that I'm a fan of the 'If The Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device' webseries yet have never played Warhammer 40K?
6509684 *You're
Wait a moment for the irony of an ork correcting you to sink in.
6509801
OH DEAR MANPEROR THE IRONY IS REAL!
6509735 nah, not really. Everyone likes it in some way
Well shit.... 13 likes and favorites in only an hour of being submitted and accepted....... I'm going to need to update this more.
6509843 You better update soon. All hail The Man-Emperor of Mankind!
6509866 and I shall. But my first order of business is to rewatch the series so I can make a bunch of references.
After all, why wouldn't the new Man-Emperor of Mankind make references about himself? He's too glorious not to!
6509818 Feel the shame.
This looks really promising....
just please, please don't use tokens.
https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/530330/displaced-common-problems
well this is interesting
6509987
Probably won't. I mean, how the fuck do you make a token when your imprisoned on a golden throne and raked with agony constantly? And how do you pick one up?
I probably shouldn't say these things, due to the fact that he's 'The Motherfucking Emperor' and he can do what he wants.
dit: I just had an idea.
I could make it so the Emperor sends his spirit into other dimesnions, and let other people do what they want with it, and at least let me know about it in advance. As for me, I ain't gotta do no crossovers, because the real Emperor will still be on his throne!
6509985
The shame is real.
6510010 Feel the WAAAAGH!
Even though Tia seem out of character when talking to the guards... I'm okay with this ^_^
6510049
It was the first ten minutes of dawn when this happened. No one should be awake at that time and NOT be a bit out of character
6509869
Heh heh. Good to see Nurgle still doing his phantom nose itching.
Good stuff bud. Keep at it.
6510105
No matter where he is, the itch will follow. Even if it's not him. As long as the person's using his body, the itch will persist
THIS has possibilities! I'll watch.
As a fan of If The Emperor Has A Text-To-Speech Device, I'm digging this.
Are you going to make the Emps poke fun at the shit that keeps happening in Equestria, by the way?
6510279
Oh hell to the yes he is. After all, what fun is there in not doing so?
6509947
What if I told you I had the next chapter already complete, and I am just waiting for tomorrow to upload it?
this is a awesome story
Well, this would be heretical, but it's boring and inane enough not to be.
Congratulations, I guess.
more plz
Oh this will be amusing. I always got a kick out of the fact the technology of the 2nd Millennium gave the Emperor a voice in the 40th.
Ugh that sucks, stuck as post-heresy emperor
This may not sound like constructive criticism, but I promise you it is. Do you think you could try to make your description less cliche? Maybe something to make it stand out from other displaced stories? As it stands it drives me away because it doesn't seem any different from any other story of its kind, and I bet that is what plenty of others think as well. I understand that descriptions can be difficult, heck I used a part of my story as my description, but everyone judges a book by its cover.
Well , I don't like displaced stories that much so I am going to pass.
However , I find it amusing that the first thing that came to my mind when I read the abriged decription was "huh , I hope for him that he has a text to speech device..."
Now then. While I find this promising on the concept level I reserve any further judgement until we have seen a bit more of this. I have tracked far too many promising fics only for them to just dry up and disappoint before they managed to reach even the 10k words level. Once you manage that I'll give you a more reliable opinion.
6510801 I can try.
6510801
Tada!
ch.2 now plz
I am going to love this. XD
6510452 Well hey, you can sit around and shit warp storms at random. And then there's also bingo night with Tzeentch and the others
6511569 also unrivaled psychic powers... just shit out a mother fucking space hulk and have it ram into the planet
kinda like this only with warp fuckery instead of imperial cheese strategy skip to 7:22 for reference
6511569 YOU HAZ ALL THE YES!
Fucking old people, all of them same, everywhere.
You have my attention !
6511027 the fact that he is Displaced is in fact rarely used. Also, there has been only ONE crossover, and in all honesty I plan to keep it that way, unless to make an extremely funny chapter. There are some Displaced that would make a great chapter of comedy and randomness! I would suggest at least trying it.
Make his say "I was ancient when your time began. And I'm fucking bored." Or alternatively, "I had already loved a thousand lifetimes when the first of your kind crawled out of the mud. And I have spent every single one of those lifetimes doing precise jack shit in this chair. It's a bitchen chair, but still."
So Arrowrbeaker is the new Kitten.
Its been a year since the last comment, but I'm not letting that fact stop me from commenting.
It was quite an unusual and funny handling of a character stuck as a half-dead skeleton (forgive my lack of knowledge of 40k), but I feel a bit more could have been added.
Then again, most of the readers didn't say anything about that - but I like my reading!
Cheers!
I didn't get this the first time but now I do. So I shall thrust into the bowels of this story.
