Hans's POV
Hans watched as Doom fought the Tatzlwurm. Not much he could do really he was riding shotgun in the mind of one of marvel comics iconic villains. Going back over what he could he saw Doom blast the boulder with the Atomic blast.
This was interesting he saw the option of weapons pop up and doom shifted through them quickly. The Atomic blast was marked long-range with a wide blast point. This was why Doom didn’t use it on the Tatzlwurm the heat from the atomic blast would have burnt Gilda.
The concussion blast was close range the effects diminish with distance. In the cavity of the wurm’s mouth, it was devastating. The magic... that was beyond Hans to figure out he saw the complicated hand movements but that was it.
The symbiotic joining of his and Doom’s mind was strange he could think independently of Doom, and so could doom not read his mind. When Hans thought about talking that was when Doom heard him, where doom had to speak out loud. He could even force memories and thoughts at Von Doom. So far the reverse hasn’t been tried.
‘Hans pay attention! I need your My Little Pony Information’
The thought rushed through his thoughts and Hans focused on what Doom was seeing. ‘What... wait you didn’t say that out loud.’
‘Insufferable earworm you don’t think I could focus my thoughts at your annoying presence? Now tell me about these ponies.’
There before him was a group of three Ponies. One dark gray and green maned male Earth Pony, one a blue and black-maned female Pegasus, and the copper-colored Unicorn.
The Unicorn was speaking “What have you done you, armor-plated moron!”
Even in the corner of Doom’s mind, Hans felt the building anger. “You lamentable dullard use your eyes. That tatzlwurm attacked your employee and I defeated it before any lives were lost.”
The sky blue Pegasus spoke up. “I was about to dive-bomb that thing when you blasted it and caused it to come out of its tunnel.”
Penny Pincher spoke then “that resulted in more property damage. I demand restitution those seed pods are worth more than any pathetic griffon. There are plenty of those who would work for food you tin plat...”
That was it Hans could tell. It seemed Gilda also knew something was up as she scrambled to get away.
Once more Doom’s fist rose and opened as the atomic blast was selected as a weapon. Even before Penny Pincher was finished with the tin-plated insult his head was blowing into burning chunks. The heat of the blast singed the fur and skin of the Earth Pony. The Pegasus moved fast enough that only her tail was scorched. Screams of shock from the watching Griffon workers and even the Pegasus filled the air.
“MONSTER!” The Earth Pony charged fists balled up. ‘Doom Earth Ponies have enhanced Strength and endurance, the most powerful can punch through granite and hold tons of weight. Power could fluctuate depending on how much magical force they can channel at the time.’
Doom seemed to take the information and moved to the left lifting his right knee to connect to the Earth Pony Boulder Dash abdomen. At the same time, his armored elbow came crashing down onto the brute’s back. “Fool I have battled Benjamin Grimm. Compared to him you are a mere child.”
A flash of blurring blue fur and doom’s head moved just enough for the armored villain to move his attention to the Pegasus who was still trying to punch his metalhead. Hans saw the option for the electrical field but before Doom activated the defensive measure Hans spoke again ‘Pegasi are immune to lighting and thus electrical attacks.’
Doom switched to the concussion blast once again and blasted the Pegasus away, the force of the blast designed to combat the THING ripped her body in half spilling guts as her body hits the ground in chunks.
By this time the Earth Pony rose up and seeing both his partners killed went berserk and mindlessly attacked. “You don’t learn do you.” This time Doom showed no mercy having Mastered many combat techniques of martial arts against a crazed brute of a thug Doom had no problem using a move of Shuai Jiao to smash the Earth Pony head into the ground. There he gripped the pony’s head and with the force of the power armor crushed his skull.
‘Fuck Doom! Do you really need to be so brutal.’
‘They earned the ire of Doom.’
“How are we going to get paid!” “Shut up Glados you want it to kill you next?” Doom turned his head to spot the group of Griffon workers. All but Gilda took off fleeing. “IT LOOKING AT US RUN!”
----------------------
Victor Von Doom's POV
Doom moved to one of the flowering plants and plucked a seed pod. He forced the pod open and then examine the seeds. “Similar to Opium in chemical composition.”
He then turned and headed over to Gilda seeing the other Griffons fleeing in panic. “Cowards leaving you behind.” He looked down at the terrified Gilda “Do not fear I offered aid already and Doom does not retract his kindness easily. Now tell me who you are and what going on here.”
Almost as an afterthought, Doom remembered he had the bloody remains of the fight on his body. A quick spell banished the biological matter from his person.
He watched as the griffon Gilda swallow her fear then look him in the eyes. Impressive given the heightened heartbeat and other signs of fear she was displaying including her feathers rising to make her appear physically larger. True bravery wasn’t the absence of fear it was action despite fear, this one was brave. He could use that.
‘Um... I told you her name.’
‘What demon did Reed sell his soul too so I will be cursed with an ignoramus. Think, I just killed three sapient beings in front of her, she’s wounded, how much more panic would she be in if I called her by name before she told me?’
‘Good point.’
“My name Gilda of Eagleblood. Those are Dreemweeds and we collect the seed pods to ship to Equestria where they are made into medicine. That what they say at least, it is known around here they are made into drugs. Those... ponies you killed were the Prince's personnel, these are his lands.”
Doom raised a brow when he heard Hans in his head ‘Oh god, please don’t say it’s Blueblood.’
“What is this Prince’s name?”
“You don’t know?” She spoke out in a harsh voice then gasped realizing who she was speaking to. “Oh... sorry... it’s Blueblood, the Prince of Equestria. Fuck he’s going to cut trade to Griffonstone if he doesn’t get what he wants.”
‘Hans what do you know about this Blueblood.’
‘Okay, this is off the cartoon and comic book script. Blueblood was introduced in a fantasy of Rarity’s...’
‘IMPORTANT INFORMATION. I don’t need that much detail who is he, what his personality, what importance is he.’
‘Fine. Blueblood in the show was a self-absorbed arrogant narcissistic nephew of Princess Celestia. Princess Celestia is one of the rulers of the nation of Equestria. Now the comics he is depicted as a high ranking diplomat. In the fandom, he’s a favorite punching bag and clown. Even when written as a villain he’s often a joke. Like I said it completely off-script for him to be a drug dealer.’
Doom nods “Do not worry about trade deals. I have made up my mind, by this time tomorrow I will be ruling Griffonstone myself. As such you have the honor of being my first servant. Now let take care of that wounded wing of yours.”
Gilda's eyes widen and she flinches as Doom moves his hands in a pattern neither she nor Hans could follow. Soon mystical light glowed around his gauntlets and then her body. Soon her wounds were healing at a rapid pace.
“You know healing magic?” Gilda asks shocked even among the Unicorns she knew healing was a rare skill of magic.
“There little I don’t know about magic. Serve me well I might even grant you the right for me to teach you some.” Doom stood up and looked to the city. “For now take me to a place where I can rest. I have plans to formulate and a kingdom to conquer.”
As he heads for the city with Gilda guiding him the voice of Hans was in his head. ‘Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.’
---------------
Gilda’s Pov
She could feel the heat from here. Penny Pincher’s head just vaporized in mid insult. The blast was like a miniature sun where his head used to be. Even as the body fell to the ground Boulder Dash was rushing at Doom with pure hate in his eyes.
Gilda remembered that muscular Earth Pony strength when she was being punished. Surely that armor wouldn’t be able to stand the might of an Earth Pony rage-filled punches, no matter how tough it looked.
Blinking she couldn’t understand how Doom moved so fast sending Bolder to the ground. Then Windshier was punching the helmet with all she had. Screaming and crying as she pounded the metal armored head. Gilda saw it was barely even registered to Doom. She watched as his fist rose and something that was like sound but wasn’t blasted forth. Her bones ached with the feeling of the subsonic blast. Windshier, however, was blown apart.
Gilda couldn’t keep her stomach contents in as she watched a shocked Windshier look at her own guts before dying. A scream of rage and Boulder Dash was up and charging again. This time Doom somehow flipped the raging stallion and then crushed his skull.
What was left in her stomach joined what She had to escape, this wasn’t just a predator whatever was in that suit was an Alpha predator. Showing no sign of remorse, mercy, or hindrance in the killing. The only reason she wasn’t dead was that he didn’t feel the need to bother. This was a fact she was sure of now.
“Cowards leaving you behind.” Of course, they were fleeing, if she could fly she be flying as well. “Do not fear I offered aid already and Doom does not retract his kindness easily. Now tell me who you are and what going on here.”
“My name Gilda of Eagleblood. Those are Dreemweeds and we collect the seed pods to ship to Equestria where they are made into medicine. That what they say at least, it is known around here they are made into drugs. Those... ponies you killed were the Prince men, these are his lands.”
Did she see the eyes Doom look away? Was he distracted by something?
“What is this Prince’s name?”
“You don’t know?” She heard her voice rise in anger, it was her normal reaction to something. Griffon culture was about not showing weakness, stand up be the strongest. Her natural instincts screamed for her to run. No amount of bravo going the help here. Shit! Did she doom herself?
“Oh... sorry... it’s Blueblood, the Prince of Equestria. Fuck he’s going to cut trade to Griffonstone if he doesn’t get what he wants.”
Doom nods “Do not worry about trade deals. I have made up my mind, by this time tomorrow I will be ruling Griffonstone myself. As such you have the honor of being my first servant. Now let take care of that wounded wing of yours.”
Gilda's eyes widen, magic, he really can do magic. That wasn’t some effect from the magical armor. Healing magic was something that has to be done in person, some potions could speed up natural healing. No enchantment could guide magical healing. “You know healing magic?”
“There little I don’t know about magic. Serve me well I might even grant you the right for me to teach you some.” Doom stood up and looked to the city. “For now take me to a place where I can rest. I have plans to formulate and a kingdom to conquer.”
Gilda stood up and started leading Doom for the city. If she takes off now perhaps she could get away far enough before he attacks? No, he didn’t even waver when he killed Penny Pincher. Now she was leading him to the city, a city he told her he was going to conquer.
is this the doom that only wants to take over the world becuase it is the only way humanity survives?
10233581
No think more along the lines of this is what Hans thinks Doom would be like.
It’s a cop out there is no way I be able to write Victor Von Doom the way Marvel does. I can write him how the Displaced Josh/Hans THINKS he behaves.
My goal in these first chapters is to display his brutal authoritarian side with just enough caring to show there a possible good man.
Hmm that motivation might be in the mix. I am trying to make him the hero or at least an anti-hero
10233596
you planning on an eventual seporation or fusion of the two? both would be intresting
10233611
I’m planning on a fusion of Doom and Hans. That will be far into the story about when Twilight and the Mane 6 confrontation with Doom.
Right now he would loose if hit by the Elementals of Harmony, he has no harmony within himself. If I change my mind and he is blasted by the rainbow Victor von Doom will be erased like Nightmare Moon. Leaving only Hans.
10233621
the real question is if doom/hans will be able to toss back the blast and redirect it to the 6 so they get a tast of thier own medicen or him flat out just being able to use them becasue hounestly the only reson i think equestria gets away with so much is because of the alicorns and elements and if you do go the way of country building then having hanz use the elements would certinly shake up the world
10233647
Read Chapter One again. Pay attention to what the crow Griffon says.
10233654
oh i get ya now. you going the agressive or reactive way for that?
10233662
Reactive Doom has no real reason to attack Equestria. Now for some spoilers. Once prince Blueblood starts causing trouble Doom makes moves both political and tactical. Including using the Infinity Gauntlet to take control of the Sun and Moon. That the sun and moon becoming his minions prophecy. That of course causes Equestria to send the Mane 6 to confront what they see as a threat.
10233675
guessing the griffons wont like that
well since griffons kingdom is in disarray with no real leadership it be a cake walk for him to take over
And thats without even mentioning the other versions of doom, like god doom. Which was a fantastic series.
10233716
God? Please, as if he would ever go back to that plebeian occupation.

Too true.
Great chapter
Fuck, this is good, no this is amazing. Finally a capable displaced. I love it. Can’t wait for the next chapter. My question is, Is Doom going to go with the political manipulation (blackmail, threats, assassinations) or is he going for the hostile take over (Terrorist attacks, tactical strikes, kidnappings) when dealing with equestria.
PD: here’s a lil video of Doom that might help you get ideas https://youtu.be/qlAPHH9NrXA
10243384
Truth is I’m not that far into the planning. Right now his goal is establishing a base of operations. The only things I know he will do is use the Infinity Gauntlet to take control of the Sun and Moon.
Pull the rug from under the Mane 6 by manipulation or just telling them what he thinks. One way or another he going to shatter Equestria world view.
Given he now has the most powerful artifact on the Planet even more powerful then the Elements of Harmony. The Stormking targets him. That won’t happen till after he displays his might over the Equestrians.
This isn’t spoilers because I already had a character tell you the plan. The old crow griffon predictions.
I’m thinking he’s going to play a game of spider. The classic “Welcome to my lair.” Says the spider to the fly. After all he has Hans MLP knowledge of possibilities. Events won’t be as sugar coated as the show but he be prepared for the mane 6 to show up after he takes the Sun and Moon. He would also be prepared for Tempest Shadow and the Stormking troops.

The more you talk the more I want to see the next chapters. Changing the subject do you follow a schedule? Like one chapter per month or one per week something like that? Or do you prefer posting when you feel like writing? I’m not complaining nor demanding just simple curiosity.
10243488
I try to post one a week. I work night shift and writing is one thing I do when off. T.V. Sucks at 4:AM ! I’m already 1500 words into the next chapter I tend to post Friday nights/Saturday mornings.
Right now in the story I’m world building the city of Griffonstone in this universe. I really trying to not follow the standard power trip of other Displaced stories. Hence the two minds in one body.
I’m aiming for this Dr. Doom to treat Griffonstone like the canon Doom treats Latveria. He will show kindness and caring for the Griffons, and brutal vengeance on those who threaten his subjects.
The only real criticism I have is lack of proper grammar and misspelling’s other than that it has some really good potential
10246205
Sadly my spelling and grammar sucks. I was born deaf on top of that Dyslexia as well as a few other issues makes it hard for me to remember grammar rules.
A, B, W, F, E, Hooked on phonics didn’t work with me. 😄
I do use Grammarly , however I can’t pay for the subscription so limited to the free version.
Glados?
Remember the cake is a lie

Amped power. Remember Doom in the comics fought against the THING and the HULK. So it makes sense his combat and armor are set to that level of defensive and offensive levels.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Yes! YES!! This is the Doom, I know and love! The way he slaughter those three foolish ponies. Bring nothing but an insane joyful glee to me! You have my attention. I want to read what happens next and more so. At long last I have found a displaced story that is something more original from the rest.
All hail The Master, all hail Doom!
A most delightfully different story as i know them. Normaly its the hero/anti-hero/villain/sidekick that is the backseat driver... Most interessting!
10876413
Yeah I wanted to play around with the Displaced idea. First was the method that was different then someone going to a con. So I had the buy something online.
There really only one reason for the Infinity Gauntlet you find out when you get there. Doctor Doom doesn’t need them to be an over powered character.
Doctor Doom personality is a gimmick of the Marvel Armor itself. The armor will overwrite anyone who puts it on and they become Doctor Doom. So I had to address that. The reason Jason/Hans still there is the Infinity Mind Stone saved his mind from being erased.
10876459
You forget to use the spoilers function... Indeed... Thst twist hit me out of nowere like a random meteor to the face
10344064
His reasoning is beyond expected behavior at that ♡
10233581
Yep. To bad there isnt humanity only Antros
10233596
Best mix of good & kind but titanium hard, when need be...
10233621
That would be a interessting alternative. Yet what you wrote is leagues beyond that
10233675
👍 Awesome
10233698
Not nessecary... Pride and reckless action can bring down even the mighty...
10233716
This one was bored of godhood

Sweeeeet

Internal dampening and unbending armor for the win?
