> An Assassin...? In Equestria?! > by kris664 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue pt. 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Matt's POV) So I was going to this convention as my favorite Assasins Creed character Edward Kenway. Alone. As usual, I didn't have many friends and if I asked them they would say they were busy that day (every damn time) so I was going to a con as Edward Kenway with all of it. But the swords and hidden blades. Maybe I can find a stand with something that looks decent After driving for another hour I was at the con and entered, immediately going to the evendor hall, walking around the stands. I saw a peculiar man behind the counter of a stand, as I looked I saw he had the things I was missing for no less than 50 dollars and 10 smoke bombs also from the game for another 10 dollars. I quickly as I could, went over and pulled out my wallet with the AC4 Blackflag pirate assassin logo. ok no time to count just give him a hundred and be over with it "Can I have those," I pointed at the items. He seemed to think at that and then said "Ok and for you the bombs will be free," ok no time for halfing the money I was going to give him "here," I said and gave him the hundred dollars "Keep the change,". I took the things and put the swords in their place and put on the hidden blades, then everything flashed white and then went dark. When I Woke up, I saw that I was on a ship and to be exact on a prisoner ship being thrown in a cell. Well that means I am a prisoner fooooooor... I looked behind me and saw... two pastel anthro pony guards (I know they are guards since they threw me in here) with golden armour... Waaaaaaaaaaait a minute they look like the solar guard from my little pony... now I should tell you that I'm a brony big time... just never got out of the closet... but they are anthro because... reasons? I looked around and saw in a cell next to mine another prisoner. A male pony stallion "Hey what's your name?" I asked trying to start up a conversation. He looked at me and said "none of your business," and then he looked away again. "Whisky would help on his mood" I muttered to no one in particular and then I started listening to my voice. I sound just like Edward... wait! I quickly looked down myself and saw I looked just like Edward while he was a pirate with the ragged cloth pants and and itchy shirt. Ok so I am Edward now and they probably took my stuff I thought Ok plan: 1. Get out of cell 2. Get stuff 3. Take over ship 4. Ta... Wait why dont I ask the guard where i am being taken to. Because if this ship is going to some where I dont want to go I can just take over the ship. But if we are going to Canterlot I could just get my stuff and then hide it and then take it with me then I can talk to the princess and find out what I am going to do after that, Best. Plan. Ever. "'Cough' guard? could I ask where I am going," I asked. He looked at me and said "You are being brought to the princess," Ok much easier than I thought, so I can just lay back and enjoy the ride So that's what I did I laid back and enjoyed the ride. Why? because its relaxing. ---Two Days later--- It's been a long time since I first came here so why aren't we there yet? how far away are we? "Goldy how far away are we?" Yes I now know my guards name (his name is actually Golden Shield) and we are both bored. Because its boring. Why is it boring? because the only thing we can do is wait. Why? because we are sailing can't do much about that. He looked at me "We should be there in a hour or two," he said "and stop calling me Goldy you know i hate that nickname," Ha ha ha of course I know that Goldy of course I know that "But Goldy," I whined "you know I love to tease you and I already said you can call me Eddy," He groaned and I just smiled "Yes but no nicknames Ok it's embarrasing," he said. I still smiled "Okay," I said "Goldy," then I rolled on the floor laughing. Why? because I thought it was fun I finally stopped and when I did I looked into a very red faced (out of embarrasment) Golden Shield "How u Doin'," I said he just glared at me for a while. Then he said "We're here," I stiffled a laughter, rose to my feet and followed him. While we walked I looked around and saw a table. Like in the game where you find you stuff and the vest only. This one had all my stuff even my backpack and all the content littered around the table. Even the assasin clothes, the vest, my hidden blades, my swords, and the pistols. So they checked all my stuff to see if I had something hidden or secret dark magic infused stuff "So..." I said "could I by any means have my stuff back?" I really hoped he would say yes because I would be more proper looking. "Yes... But only the backpack, everything from the backpack and the clothes. NOT any weapons," "Ok no weapons... everything else," I said taking the stuff. But without him noticing I took my hidden blades and put them on. After I had gotten my stuff we walked out on deck and... it was an airship... of course it was an airship because why the hell not. I stood in awe for a second and then I heard a cough, I looked at Golden Shield and began following him again. I saw only forest around the ship in all directions. But one and in that direction I saw the castle of the two sisters... a newer version of the castle as in before it got destroyed by Nightmare Moon and Celestia's fight. We began walking in the direction of the castle. After an hour or two we walked into the throne room... where I saw Luna and Celestia sitting beside each other. So this is before Nightmare Moon, that could be a problem Then Golden Shield bowed and motioned for me to do the same. I just looked at him and kept standing the way I always did when I was bored. "We are very happy that thou could show up" Luna began. I just raised a hand and said "I will just say that i didn't come here willingly I am here only because I got thrown into a cell and brought here" Luna looked confused at how I just stopped her in the middle of her speech. "Ok we will let our sister get to the point" Luna said. "We wanted to know how thou just appeared on the deck of one of our ships," I could barely control my face and my laughter. Because it was so funny hearing Celestia talk in the old Equestrian language, I then said "I dont know but I have an idea," I thought of how I blacked out after i had bought the swords and hidden blades "and it is still just a theory" Celestia now looked thoughtful and then she said "Ok but know we want to know what species thou art" "I am of the species Homo Sapien or human," why I said it I dont know... because reasons? "and i am probably the only of my species here" I said, why the heck I said that I have no idea. Because now she looked at me with wonder. "Star Swirl could thou come in here for a moment?" Celestia shouted. I heard some rusling behind a door, out came Star Swirl the Bearded himself looking a bit irritated. "What is it Celestia I hope it is not one of your little projects again" Star Swirl said with a lot of irritation in his voice. "We want thou to inspect this Mr..." Celestia trailed off. "Kenway, Edward Kenway." "Mr. Kenway he is a human and make tests and take notes" Celestia said "and we want no harm come on him" Star Swirl finally saw me and his eyes filled with wonder, I just stood there totally paralyzed until I on instinct took out a smoke bomb from... somewhere and threw it while shouting "NOPE!" I ran at the window, jumping and curling into a ball, protecting my face. I smashed through the glass and landed on a big branch in a tree. I looked back and began running for my life even though Celestia said I should not be harmed. I didn't trust that stallion nor his plans on 'inspecting' me. I ran to the ship and saw a LOT of guards all prepared for a fight, I smiled a devious smile and threw another smoke bomb making them all cough, while I ran inside down the stairs, over to the table and got my stuff: my six pistols, my swords and my blow darts. Running outside again I found a Lot of angry guards and an angry princess Luna, I stopped and looked at them they looked back. Then I did something unexpected to them took my swords out. if this is atleast half like the game I have a big advantage They all looked confused at me. Then readied their own weapons, they attacked one at a time like in the game, like I thought. Very easy to parry and very easy to knock out. No I didn't kill them I only injured them, incapacitated them or simply just gave them a big ol' punch in the face. After all the fighting only Luna was left, Luna took out her big two handed sword which was made of some kind of blue steel or something. Luna took a battle stance and I just snickered. Luna looked confused then realisation hit her, Luna had a big heavy slow swinging sword while I had two small fast swinging swords. "Oh my dear Luna why have you taken a sword to a gun fight?" I said trying a joke, Luna just looked confused and she didn't realise since she hadn't seen my pistols, I sheathed my sword and took off my weapons (as another joke), now Luna looked even more confused while I took a hand to hand style fighting stance and Luna now realised what I was doing and smiled what she didn't know was that I had studied and learned a lot of martial arts so she didn't stand a chance but since she smiled she must know some martial arts too. "Luna will you at least know my name before I but your face in the ground?" I asked sincerely. "Of course we want to know the name of the one we are going to knock out" Luna said. "My name is Edward Kenway, Luna, but now 'Fight'" I said in my best impression of the voice from Mortal Kombat. I was the first to move, I dashed forward and made a circle kick and hit her cheek, she almost flew into the pile of guards. But got control of herself with her wings and was up in no time. But didn't get far before I was there again with a punch in the face and a kick to the gut, she got to her senses before I could get at her again. She came in with a series of punches then a kick, I literally flew through the air and smashed through the wall to the captains cabin, I got up as fast as I could (which was probably pretty slow) and just in time to block another series of punches from Luna. But this time I knew what she was doing and before she could finish her combo I jumped over her and on the way gave her a good ol' kick in the head and knocked her to the floor from which she came up fast. I couldn't stop my self before I smiled. But that smile quickly faded as I saw her horn glow and then every thing went dark for a second time. Who knows how many hours or days later I woke up from whatever spell Luna had used and felt myself strapped to a table with only my underwear on. So I did the obvious and kept my eyes closed and my breathing a steady and slow rhythm. I began to hear voices to my left "Tia he should definitely be awake by now I dont know why he isn't waking up" Luna obviously said. "it's ok Lulu I will just wait for him to wake up and I know he will wake up at some point" Celestia and again obviously said. Then I opened my eyes and looked over at them and they very conveniently was not facing me "Well How you two doin'" I said. They both turned in a heartbeat and looked at me with anger and surprise. "SURPRISE! and why am I strapped to a table?" I said with confusement clear in my voice. I woke up strapped to a table, only in my underwear with the princesses talking about how I am not waking up so of course I am confused! "You have been asleep for one week, I think Luna put a bit too much power into her spell" Celestia said while Luna looked very sad. "Hey it's ok I have never felt any better other than the fact I am so hungry I could eat a hor... eat a tree" I said. > Prologue pt. 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning there will from this point be swearing and other obsenities "Oh of course thou should have some food," Luna said while Celestia left the room to find something to eat. Aaaaaaaaand back to old Equestrian "Yeah but could you unstrap me first? it would be kinda hard to eat with no hands to eat with," I said because it was kinda scary to lay here only in my underwear "And could I have my stuff back? I kinda need it" "Sure thou can but all you're weapons will be stored in the vault," Luna said to me. Damnit why the fuck can't I have my weapons what if I get attacked and I have no fucking weapons then what I voiced my worries but without the swearing of course "Ok thou may have your wrist blades and nothing else," Luna said. I cleared my throat and looked at the straps still holding me tight "Oh of course, the straps" Luna said and released me fast. Luna got a guard to get my stuff and while I waited I checked myself for anything: metal, cuts, scars from cuts and other things Star Swirl could have done while I was asleep and ended up with nothing unless he has hidden it all or used a really good healing spell. When I finished my clothes, my backpack and hidden blades was here and I took them on, looked in my backpack for my Ipod and my earphones. No, no, no, no, no... YES! now here they are, ok lets get this show on the road I took them and plugged my earphones into the Ipod and found my favorite song (just play it til it stops or whatever) because I always calmed down when I heard music even if it was pop or whatever. Luna looked at me a bit confused when I used the thing none of her magicians could use or find out how worked so easily though it was my stuff after all and when I started bobing my head in takt with the beat Luna just looked even more confused than before. Oh yeah she doesn't know how my Ipod works. And I won't tell her I followed her to a big room with a big dinning table, on the table was one of the biggest dinners i've ever seen before and sitting at it were Celestia, Luna walked over and sat at the table I as before followed her over and pulled her chair out for her. "Such a gentlestallion" Luna said. I sat on the other side of the table eating as I normally would even though I was very very hungry, because can't eat like a pig in front of the princesses that's just not very good to do. "So what happened while I was out cold?" I asked trying to strike up conversation. "Nothing much just the usual" Clestia said. "Ok now I just want to know where my weapons are" I said. They both looked at each other then Celestia began "Um we won't tell you" and Luna continued "because thou kinda knocked a whole regiment out with nothing but your swords and the things thou had on thee breast..." Celestia picked it up "We found out how they worked because of an accident with where one of those things was pulled back and then it kinda snapped down and the front kinda exploded and one of our guards was injured with a metal ball in his leg," I just looked at them "So you say that one of your guard shot himself with one of my pistols and why can't I habe them back again?" I said because they hadn't said why just what had happened. "Because thou could kill most of our guards with all thee weapons very fast and we don't have the things to protect from anything else than thou swords," Luna explained. "hmm that's probably right but whatever" I said rising from the table and walking out. Ok I need all my stuff before I get out of here... But where could they be? I walked through the hall and at last found the armory, walked in and found myself face to face with some guards, I just walked slowly around them and got over to 'Confiscated Weapons' opened it to find all my stuff hanging there. "You shouldn't take anything from that locker none of it is yours" one of the guards said. I walked over to him and looked him directly in the eyes "Some of the things in there is actually mine the swords, the guns and probably some of my other random crap" I said staring directly into his eyes and of course the gen for looking away when someone is staring into your eyes came in and made him look away "But I was just looking for them to make sure they are in good hands" I walked out of the room not looking back for one second. A few Months later "So, Luna ready for round two?" I asked. "Well of course we are ready for what thy have in store for us" Luna replied. "Very well" I said before running at her. I came in with a low swipe and she dodged and tried to counterattack, but I blocked and gave her a big ol' punch to the gut, Luna bent down and got a breather, but before she could finish I came in and made a spartan kick to her side and she was flung to the other side of the ring. "Luna when you finally beat me I will take you for dinner" I said. "Then we are going to beat thou into submission" Luna said while coming at me. I easily sidestepped her charge and gave her a little smack on her booty, she glared at me and charged again and again I sidestepped now giving her a light punch in the back of her head, she fell but was quickly on her feet again (or hooves... I dont know) this time charging again but when I sidestepped she was ready and gave a quick slap over my chin, I looked at her and smiled. "Very good find the repetition of you enemy's moves" I said now taking a more aggressive stance. She charged and thought I would do the same as before but no, I fell down on my back and when she was over me I kicked upwards and hit her right in the stomach, she flew over to the corner and got up shakingly. "Ok we submit to thou for now" Luna said and got out of the ring. "If that's what you want" I said and got out aswell. I walked into the changing area with the showers. How do they have showers at this time?... Magic? its magic right? I finished and got my clothes on, then I walked down the halls and into the armory, noone where in the armory because all the guards was in the yard practicing and training, I walked over to the con. weapons locker (Ha get the joke? no? ok) I opened it, took my weapons and walked down some other corridors and out onto a platform for airships and about now a prisoner ship should have come down and begin taking out all the prisoners, I walked over to the ship when I saw it and began to cock my guns and when a guard walked up to me I took out one of my guns and shot him right in the chest. Then hell broke lose and all the guards focused on me and the prisoners began to strangle the nearest guards, I jsut waited for some of them while I was reloading my gun, the first guard that got to be got a bullet to the brain and then I did my flurry of guns and used all six and killed six guards and then I took out my swords and began to slice throats, cut limbs and crush skulls, all the while the prisoners got aboard the ship again and thankfully waited for me, I killed one last guard and then began running at the ship while morioning for the prisoners to take off and take off they did and just in time for me to jump and grab some wood. I crawled up onto deck and saw all of them with a wide variety of emotions: happiness, astonishment (because i am so awesome), fear and much more. "Ok I will just say this once" I began "Who wants to join my crew on this fine ship? put a hand in the air" almost all hands flew up but a small amount were still down "everyone who doesn't want to be part of the crew will be thrown over the edge" now all the hands were up. "Ok any questions?" I asked. Seeing only two hands "Ok you with the brown coat and gray mane" "My name is Dirt Mover and my question is who are you?" Dirty said. (Nicknames because I can) "Very good question and here is the answer: Sir Edward Kenway" I said. Everyone looked confused because I said Sir and I only said Sir to sound more cool. "Ok next up purple mane and lime green coat" I said. "Ok I have two questions: If you are a Sir why would you help us? and what is those things on your arms?" he said. "Ah yes I am not a Sir I just like it, it makes my name sound cooler and for your second question: they are called hidden blades and are retractable blades that can pierce many things and before any of you ask no you can't get a pair" I said. Another few months later We had been plundering a bit here and a bit there and at last we were able to take on a royal ship and take it on we did until I walked into the Captains cabin and saw two princesses with elements of harmony flying around them I just stood there and made a cool pose. And while I got frozen in stone I just said... "Please make a book about all my martial arts, Luna please" I said as the last thing for probably a thousand years or so... > The Assassin and The Dark Lord > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1500 years later (Matt’s POV) You have a lot of time when you are a stone statue in a garden and when you have nothing to do you usually try finding different abilities of the character you are and in my case it was called eagle-vision and after 1500 you usually get pretty well at the stuff you learn so I could at that point usually hold my eagle-vision for about an hour or two which by the game’s standards on only a couple minutes is very impressive and I after 500 years got a friend his name is Discord and wouldn’t you believe it I found a nickname for him the split second I heard his name Dissy that sound good right? O I’m rambling again aren’t I? Usually happens when you are encased in stone and have no one else except a chaos spirit. Oi! Dissy, how are you doing? Anything new? Nope nothing, Eddie you see anything? Same nothing new. Wait, Eddie do you hear it another school. And yes I heard it a school group coming to see the magnificent statues in the royal garden. “Ok children this here,” the pony looking to be the teacher pointed at Dissy “is the spirit of chaos and he was very chaotic,” she said.         Yes of course he was very chaotic, he was the literal god of chaos or spirit of chaos if you want.         “And this here is the assassin he could do some very magnificent things he was a master in martial arts and at stealth” she explained.         Yes a very good description of me, in fact one of the most exact descriptions of me, if you count my personality and other deeds out… but who cares.         “But now children can you explain what the chaos spirit represents?” she asked the boring question with the very easy to guess answer.         And three fillies began fighting over what he represented which was very odd since it’s an obvious answer: chaos and disharmony, but hey if they want to fight about that it’s fine by me and by the faint sounds of cracking I heard it obviously fueled Discord’s chaos magic to the point of breaking his shell. Discord? Yes? Before you go just to make sure you are not stupid and get caught again make a spell that sends you into my mind instead of getting turned to stone again Oh, Eddie always the protective one ain’t ya? Discord I would give my life to protect the ones I love and remember the contract I signed it said you would not return to stone Yes? And I never break a contract no matter what Oh my thousand year long friend… “I will always remember you even though I can’t turn you back I tried right now” Discord said. Well see you at some point then “Yes of course well ta ta” Discord said. And in a few hours my usual cult member will come praise me and deliver news about everything. A few hours later “Oh praise the almighty being known as assassin… hey assassin we have found a strange device of some sort and we are going to investigate it and find out what it does” he said “it appears to be made out of some kind of metal” Hmm very useful maybe when they find out what it is I can have good use of it… if I ever get out of here. I watched as he walked away again, I thought of all the fanfic I could have been reading instead of just standing here as a statue so I began drifting of into daydreaming since you can’t really close your eyes as they are permanently opened because they are stone. (Cultist’s POV) We made a circle around the object as it was on a pedestal, our leader stood forward and approached the object to investigate and when he pushed down on some of the buttons a message began coming from the object. “I am Darth Folteren, Dark Lord of the Sith, and ruler of my Equestria. Be you hero, or villain, I shall cut down your enemy's. I may aid you in you're turmoil, and help you in your darkest and/or loneliest moment. I am here to help my brothers and sisters. May the Dark Side shroud you in your travels.” Everypony was startled or scared, but our leader pressed other buttons and said “How does this even work?” After the sixth button was pressed, lightning started shooting out, forming a bipedal being that’s aura sent shivers down our backs. The lightning stopped and a dark creature similar to the Assassin was knelt on one knee, and a blue creature sat on its shoulder. It stood up. And only a second after a pop was heard and another strange creature stood in the room, the creature looked like the one that usually stood next to the Assassin, the spirit looked at the dark one and said “Hello my friend my name is Discord and I could not look over the big darkness and chaos energy you are emitting and now who might you be?” The dark creature’s face was hidden by a red mask which meant it was hard to tell his expression, “Oh, another Discord…” The creature sighed, “If you must know, I am Darth Folteren.” The blue thing on his shoulder jumped, “And this is Waffles. Now, where is the Displaced?” “I am not sure I understand, Displaced?” Discord asked and seemed to think hard about it for a second and then finally couldn’t find an answer “I am sorry but I have no idea of what a Displaced is” Folteren grumbled, “Crap… He or she should be human. Ring any bells” Waffles begins to wander the room, looking at us. “Oh, yes, you might be looking for my friend Eddie or Edward as he is actually called but he is still encased in stone, petrified and all that stuff like I was a couple minutes ago and now I want to know could you get him out in any way?” Discord asked looking at Folteren with a hopeful smile on his face. Folteren nodded, “Yes. I can, and will. Waffles, stop using watergun on that weird pony and get over here!” Waffles had been blasting one of the cultist’s faces with a stream of water. The little blue fish-like animal hopped over to Folteren and was lifted by an unknown force and placed on his right shoulder. “Send me to him, and I’ll free him. And a word of advise, if you battle the Element’s, don’t put them somewhere they would be able to get to.” “Oh, even if I did something stupid and got blasted by the Elements me and Eddie have it covered he did make a contract to protect me as part of his family” Discord said and snapped his fingers and they both disappeared with a pop and confetti. (3rd person POV) “Ok here we are my evil looking friend the royal gardens in front of my friend Eddie” Discord said and made confetti from his hands.         Folteren examined the stoned Displaced. “I hate stone, messes with my Nanites… But I guess its still doable. Hello Mr. Edward.”         Well hello Mr. something and hi Discord… and did you just say you could get me out?! Yes! Best. Day. Ever. Being stuck in stone for one-thousand five-hundred years is quite an irritating thing especially if five-hundred of them was spent alone… and is that a mudkip?         Folteren sighed, “Try just being unable to move for that long and being alone for a thousand… Darn it… I’m getting off topic. Sandy, prepare to change this stone into flesh and blood.”         [But the stone will impair the procedure.] A monotone voice said.         “I know. But it’ll just make you slower. Do it.”         [No.]         “Sandy?” Folteren looked down at his wrist.         [... Was you wish.] Sandy submitted.         Silver flakes engulfed Edward. He felt them entering his stone body, and as they continued, he felt numb. He felt his heart spring to life. His blood begin to move. It started slowly, then began to speed up. And after twenty seconds that felt like an eternity, Edward was free.         Edward instantly fell to his knees from not using his legs for a long time and only after a few seconds got back to his feet eliciting a groan as he did “Thanks for that and again is that a mudkip?” Edward asked as he walked a bit around the pedestal his statue was on to get some life back into his legs.         Folteren sighed, “Why does everyone ask that? Of course he is! Waffles, stop hugging Discord!” Waffles was indeed hugging Discord, but was pulled away as Folteren moved his hand. Waffles was set on the dark lords head, and fell asleep.         “Sorry gotta make sure I’m not seeing things as that was a usual prank from Discord and since you used the force, look evil and have a cute mudkip named Waffles I guess you title would be Darth as in dark lord from star wars” Edward said as he was inspecting Folteren in his usual Sherlock Holmes style position.         “Wow, nice powers of deduction captain obvious. Darth Folteren. Although, I’ve considered Darth Revan.” Folteren said, crossing his arms. “Good to see you up and about, but is that all? I’ve got three daughters that I was teaching math too, and I hate being summoned when I’m not needed by Displaced, and they call me evil looking, which is just rude.” Folteren grunted. “Hey sorry about the evil looking thing, I actually love math and was it my cult? and your daughters is called Scootaloo, Shadow and the last one I can’t guess” Edward said with his very random power of randomness “Sorry gotta be random, can’t do much about it”         “How did you know that!?” Folteren took his lightsabers and activated them. Red and purple blades glowed menacingly.         “You try living with that thing” Edward pointed at Discord “for a thousand years and get pranked a lot and get so random chaos powers it’s unbelieveable so it kinda is Discord’s fault for me getting his random power of random and being able to guess something in your life, so calm your tits dude!” Edward shot back “Oh and I would very much not have my head split from my body on my first day out in 1500 years”         Folteren hesitated, but shut his Lightsabers off, “I don’t like chaos powers. Too personal.” He sighed, “Is that all? I have an Equestria too.” Folteren paused, “Have you been introduced to the Displaced?”         “No I have no idea what a Displaced is and I have no idea what Discord’s powers could have done maybe if I snap my fingers something happens that’s the problem with chaos magic you can’t control it” Edward said feeling a bit worried.         Folteren smirked and chuckled, “The chaos thing I hope you gain control of. Kinda wish I had something like that. As for the Displaced… Well, to put it in short terms, there are other worlds with humans that dressed up and bought something, then got sent to Equestria. I’m surprised you haven’t freaked out by my presence. I am human like you, and this world seems to be missing other humans. Why you aren't shocked.”         Edward thought about that for a second “Huh must be the chaos thing, but it also helps that this world’s ponies are Anthro and all that and yea it is kinda freaky to meet another human after so long, but being infused with a bit of chaos from a chaos spirit definitely helps as I said before… oh and thanks for telling me what a Displaced is, but still how’d you get here lad?”         “Don’t call me lad… I got here by my Token.” Folteren’s Token appeared in his hand, “It summons me to Displaced that need my help. There are hundreds if not thousands of them. I’ve already met two. Both I’ve befriended. There are good Displaced, and bad Displaced.”         “Sorry about the lad thing it’s something Edward says from the game and is that a hologram thing? Huh looks cool.” Edward facepalmed “Wait, did the cult summon you? Because if they did I am so going to find them and teach them a little lesson about touching things you don’t know shit about! but they did kinda get me out because of it… still going to teach them a lesson!” Edward said getting a bit angry at the cult.         Folteren snickered, “Well, their lucky I’m the one they summoned. I’d hate for you to lose your cult due to a misinterpretation. Good thing I’m understanding.” Folteren rolled his shoulders, and cracked his fingers. “I’ll be happy to help you make a Token for yourself if you’d like. It just needs to be something that represents you, and has a message.”         “Ok maybe I can finally try my new chaos powers out.” Edward got a look of concentration and gave a snap with his fingers then there sounded a pop and an iron skull at the size of an apple appeared “Huh very interesting only thing I did was think of a skull and here it is after a snap… Chaos powers are awesome!” Edward said “ok now to the message… My name is Edward Kenway, I am an assassin, a pirate and other stuff I would gladly help you if you are sitting in a tight spot or just want to talk or have a drink, I also have some minor chaos powers from Discord my buddy and call me when ever… sound good? and you do not want to know what that cult did in my name.”         “You don’t even want an idea of what I did to pass the time. Yep, sounds pretty good… Why does almost every Displaced need chaos powers? I’ll send it.” Folteren took the skull in his force grip. The nanites took it apart and vanished, “I sent mine through a Pool I found… That gives me an idea when I return! Anyways, it’s sent.”         “Good then I guess that’s done” Edward turns to Discord “Now you can go do your chaos thing while me and Folteren get a drink” Edward turns to Folteren “You do want a drink right? oh and here you have my token thing.” Edward snaps his fingers again and another skull appears “Here you are” Edward gives the skull to Folteren “Now where is the bar? wait no what about I just make some?” with a snap two bottles appear one whiskey and one rum “So what do you like the best whiskey or rum?”         Folteren paused, “... Rum, it's been a long time since I’ve actually had liqueur, and I’ve always hated whiskey.” Folteren took the rum, and removed his mask. He move some of his brown locks out of his face, and sipped the drink to get a taste, “Wow! Thats strong… How much magic did you pour into that?”         “I have no Idea and I don’t even know how I made them appear I just wanted some drinks and a snap after they were here” Edward said as he began to drink some of his whiskey “And I finally see the man behind the mask, I have my face on full display while you have that mask… well I do have my hood but that doesn’t cover my face much.”         “You want a mask?” Folteren asked.         “No I don’t it’s not my style but if I was going to be a vigilante at night it would be awesome” Edward said “so could I have a mask? Assassin and pirate most of the time and vigilante some of the time.”         Folteren chuckled, “Sure.” A mask that looked like his own materialized in his hand. Instead of red though, it was dark grey, “This good? I put in a bit of a stealth mode into it, like a TARDIS key. Get it?” Folteren waved the mask a bit, “Just will it to activate, not that hard.” He handed it over to the assassin/pirate.         “Hm TARDIS like in Doctor Who? If not I don’t get it and that looks awesome very good for a vigilante that doesn’t want anyone to know who he is… but it's missing something… ah yes, flame design” Edward said as he snapped and the mask got a flame design on the sides “Yes that’s it, now it’s absolutely awesome now I need some chains and a motorcycle and then I can be a kind of Ghost Rider almost.”         Folteren sighed, “Whatever. What you do is your own, and I don’t think I’m needed-” He stopped when they heard the sound of sipping, Waffles was drinking the rum in Folteren’s hand, “No! Bad Waffles!” He threw the mug away and grabbed the little Mudkip under his arm. “I may be okay when you eat my pancakes, but you can’t have rum!” Waffles didn’t seem to care as he fell asleep. Folteren sighed, “Is that all?”         “It should be and… ha ha ha” Edward began to let out a roar of laughter and when he stopped snapped and made a plate of waffles “Here if he want’s anything else just give him these waffles and if he is a pain at the time they will make him fall asleep and I don’t know how I made them… damn chaos magic” Edward began looking irritated at his hand and especially two fingers on his right hand.         Folteren nodded, he took them. “Your cult has my Token, so I’ll be off… Enjoy the mask!” Folteren began walking away. “Nice meeting you! And if you see a little orange filly without a home named Scootaloo, would you take care of her. She might not be homeless here, but you never know.”         “Well I will take care of Scootaloo, but I won’t take her on any of my raids and/or plunderings or nightly activities and things like that and if you want I can tell her stories of a great warrior with swords of light” Edward said with a wink “And be sure to summon me every once in a while it’s always nice to talk or have a drink or even if you have a mission for me I will help… but if I am taking a bath I won’t answer your calls my token will probably say I am in bath or something…” Edward began thinking of all the things chaos magic would do to his life “And I will make a town for who ever want’s to come live there and also where Scoots and I will live… unless she want’s to live in Ponyville.”         “That all sounds good. If I need an assassin(And I know I will), I’ll call you up. Anyway, I leave you with one of my favorite songs!” A song began playing as Folteren’s form turned to lightning. Folteren smiled softly, almost kindly. The song continued, and a gauntlet surging with lightning. There was a note that read: Dear Eddie. I’ve given you something to replicate my force lightning. Not as powerful, but still a good pranking and/or tool. Take care of Scoots.(And I like that story idea. I’m a bit greedy…) PS: Discord is going to lose, so make sure you don’t. “Oh Folty don’t you think I know he did tell you we had taken care of it if things got bad right? well and I saw the show so I already know” Edward thought “Oh and I won’t because I have many plans and ideas on how to not lose that’s what happens when you have 1500 years to prepare for another blast from the elements.” {Folteren’s POV}         I arrived back home and got smacked by a fish. I heard two sets of giggling. Luna and Scoots prepared for my return with a catapult full of fish pointed at my face.         I growled playfully, “Oh, you wanna play this the hard way? We’ll play this the hard way.” That seemed to scare them enough for them to run away. I sighed, smiling. A new ally! That was always good. First I had Freddy. Then I had Pegasus, and now I had Edward. My eye twitched, ‘Did he call me Folty? I hate that nickname...’ {Edward’s POV}         Somewhere in the multiverse I could feel Folty rage over his nickname and while I was walking out of Canterlot to get to Ponyville I couldn’t do anything else than let out a chuckle and thought ‘Oh Folty there is going to be more of that much much more of that’  > Keeping A Promise, To myself > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I walked down the streets of Canterlot looking around for any signs of Discord beginning to make some chaos and... none... ok really Discord are you that lazy? come on be a little faster. Then I remembered something. I need to take care of my cult now or never I opened my eagle vision and looked around until I saw a green colored pony and began to follow. I followed the cult member to a dark alleyway and saw that he was climbing down a drain into the sewers. I followed of course and saw him running down the tunnel and ran after him into the center of the sewers being a big open room with tunnels leading out into other sewer systems and saw the cult member jumping down onto a platform and walking through a door. I jumped down to the platform as well and walked through the door and into a cozy lounge room... What! They actually set up a lounge to be in! I saw the member sitting down in a couch and relaxing, I walked over and put a hand on the shoulder of the cult member. "Quite a cozy place you got here, but now I want to know where is the token?" I asked and immediately he tensed up. "W-who a-are you?" He asked very nervously. "Oh just the one this cult is worshipping which by the way I don't understand why, but now where is the token?" I asked getting a bit irritated by him not answering. "I-it's b-behind the door right there." He pointed. "Thanks" I said as I walked towards the door. I walked through the door and came into a large dark room with a pedestal, I walked over to the pedestal and saw Folty's token a hologram thingy, then I grabbed it and turned around to see the cult member standing there in the doorway with a big knife. "I am not letting you go with that." He said as he walked towards me with the knife. "Oh come on dude are you really that dense that you don't know you can't beat me?" I said as I walked a bit backwards and then I snapped my fingers and felt how it was to get pulled into a billion little bits and get transported to a place. "So that's how it is to teleport." I said as my face turned green "Not doing that anytime soon again." I walked down the streets again now in my mind the other thing I promised but not to me, to Folty. I wonder how he is right now I walked down to the gate of Canterlot... And got stopped by the guard. "Sir I need to see your id." He said and put out a hand. I waved my hand in front of his face and snapped my fingers "You will let me pass." "You... May pass sir." He said and stood aside. God fucking dammit is it exhausting using chaos powers... When I find a place to sleep I'll do it. I began walking down the road turning my back to Canterlot for now. > Pirates lives are strange > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I walked down the road from Canterlot, feeling burned out because of using my chaos magic a bit too much a bit too quick. While I walked I looked around at the scenery and failed to see the picture coming from nowhere and hitting me in the face and blinding me. "Oh come on a leaf falls from a tree into my... Wait this is no leaf because I would be able to see through it." I said as I pulled the picture apparently of a girl or rather of Max Caulfield from Life is strange and it looked like the selfie from first in the game "Oh so another Displaced how interesting well let's see how she reacts." I said as the message began. "Time, the real final frontier. This is the token of Max Caulfield, the Master of Time. Its mission: to seek out those who would protect others and tear down tyranny; to boldly go before me so that I may be called when the time is right." “So Max can you come for a sec… ok got to stay calm but this is so awesome, my first non accidental summon of another Displaced.” I said as I waited for Max. At first I didn’t see anything happen, then I got the feeling that someone was standing behind me and turned. I saw Max Caulfield standing behind me dripping wet with… nothing on. “Ok wow this is why my powers made my token non useable while in bath or having sex.” I said as I checked her out. She sighed and said, “It’s a good thing I was done washing.” Her hand glowed with a yellow-ish aura and a towel popped into existence around her. “Also a good thing I have magic.” “Yes quite, and if you have my token which you perhaps or perhaps don’t have I have a little chaos powers.” I said as I snapped with my fingers and a pair of aviators appeared and I grabbed them out of the air, “which I actually didn’t get by default.” “Well, I didn’t have magic until.... I’d rather not say, but I am the current ruler of my Equestria,” she said, popping another towel into existence and drying her hair. “Ok I have a question, did you take over by force or did you get it given, and you don’t have to tell if you don’t want to.” I said as I lifted my hands after putting on the aviators. She wrapped her hair in the second towel and crossed her arms, sadness filling her eyes. “I was given it by Celestia and Luna. They... were dying because a pegasus stabbed them with a cursed dagger.” “Oh… you know, I once was a friend of the princesses… but at one point I couldn’t take more of being stuck in a castle so I got my weapons back or… stole them back I should say, after that I stole a prisoner ship by killing the guards and freeing the prisoners, at first they wanted to throw me overboard but when they conspired I threw the leader overboard and by that killed all plots against me.” I said and sighed, “Ok that was good getting off my shoulders.” “Well... to each his own I guess,” she said with a shrug. “Anyways, you going somewhere in particular?” “Well not yet, but I have plans of going out east and making a small house out there and after that keep my promise.” I said and looked out in the distance. “I’d suggest stopping at Ponyville real quick on the way. Might find a few ponies to join your crew, might be able to take out the only thing that can turn you to stone easily.” “You know, that promise is to another Displaced named Folteren who actually got me out of stone and it involves adopting Scootaloo so I have that’s two things taken care of, the elements and the promise.” “I’d hate to keep you waiting then,” she said, stretching and accidentally letting the towel around her fall. “I’ve seen about twenty couples in my universe that just left their foal out on the street. And that’s the kind ones.” “You are probably right.” I said, and looked into her eyes, “You know, you should probably get that towel up again before anyone sees because that would be embarrassing, oh wait I already did, meh nothing special I’ve seen naked women before.” I said as I realized my mistake. She tilted her head in confusion, looking between her body and me. “Why should I be embarrassed?” “Oh it’s just that most women are embarrassed by men seeing them naked, I mean by men who isn’t with them on an intimate level.” I said as I scratched the back of my head. She giggled and gave me a saucy expression. “You could find out how... intimate I can get.” I lifted an eyebrow, “Ok how many have you fucked?, this also counts in other girls.” “Well, there’s Celestia, Gilgamesh, Kat, Lance, Zinnia, and about half the royal guard. Just to name a few,” She said with a proud smirk. I made my best ‘what the fuck’ face, “Are you serious? wait, ok you are serious… wow that is quite the record.” I said and gave a little applause. “Yep! And I get to teach what I know to Lance.” She bent down and picked up her towel, wrapping it around her again. “So now to the Displaced questions, who do you know other than the ones you told me you fucked?” I asked actually curious about who she met. “Typhon, Medulla -- he’s a Mewtwo--, Pecilla, Flynn, and Luke. The last three are all in the same universe.” “Ok the only other Displaced I know is Folteren and he is literally evil like evil evil but he got me out of stone and he is nice to other Displaced… oh and he hates being called Folty.” I said with a smile, “And someone actually got Displaced as a Pokemon?” “Zinnia’s actually half-pokemon herself, and Lance has a Blaziken apparently.” Max snapped her fingers and the towels disappeared in a flash, only to be replaced with her usual outfit. “Ok interesting, and that outfit so much LIS right there or Life is Strange as it actually is called.” I said as I walked around her and looking at the outfit. “Oh and I should probably get a new outfit this one is a little dusty.” “You might want to visit the Bearer of Generosity first then. She’s a seamstress and there’s a chance she’ll give you an outfit.” Max dug in her bag and pulled out a pencil case. “You want any tokens? The Merchant gave me one of every token there is and then gave me all of them again for some odd reason.” “Actually while I was looking a bit into Folteren’s universe I found that he knows Freddy, Golden Freddy, so I actually want to talk to him at one point so do you have that one?” I asked looking hopeful. “And I don’t need a new outfit I can just do this.” I snapped my fingers and… nothing, “Oh come on! Magical burn out on chaos magic!? seriously!?” “Yeah, I have his.” She tossed me a coin and a necklace with a black scythe on it. “The other one’s for a Displaced Venom, haven’t called him yet but Kat visited him.” “Thanks and I just figured out that the headache of using your magic too much gets bigger the more I try to use chaos powers while on burnout.” I said with my hands making circles on my temples. “And I am not an infinite source like Discord, which is why I can burnout.” “I can help with that,” she said, holding up her right hand. She stared at me for a few minutes, her fingers moving slightly before she hummed and crossed her arms. “I could only shorten the time it takes for your chaos to recharge by three hours. You shouldn’t try using it until tomorrow, though.” “Thanks at least the headache is going away slightly, so now it’s less painful and more of an annoyance.” I said shaking my head a bit to clear it out. “Oh and I should probably do something for you now, no?” “Nah, so far most of the Displaced I’ve met have helped me with something and I haven’t been able to help them. But you could send me back, it’s almost time to feed Golden and Light.” “The least I can do is give you something so here is one of my pistols, my favorite mind you and it has two cylinders and is quite effective, I engraved it myself and it never failed me and now I think you should have it. If you don’t take it I will take offence.” I said and yes the last thing was a threat. Max rubbed the back of her head, trying to decide what to do. Finally she shook her head and said, “I already have a submachine gun, a shotgun, a sniper rifle, and a pistol. I don’t need anymore guns, but I am lacking a melee weapon.” I chuckled a bit, “Ha did you really think I would give you this, sorry but yes I wouldn’t no matter what, so melee? hidden or non hidden?” I asked very seriously. “Hidden so I can take care of assassins if they get past my guards. No offence meant.” “None taken since I am more of a pirate than an assassin I would say, so a hidden blade or bigger?” “I think just the hidden blade would be enough. Though I’d rather have something that’s longer and more collapsable,” Max said as she floated up a little. “I’m getting a bit restless, could we walk and talk?” “Sure thing.” I said as I began walking, “So a hidden sword and blade?” “Yeah, I’m gonna need a last line of defense if I want to continue with my plans. I even plan on modding my guns so they hold one more bullet than normal.” “Ok I don’t specialize in guns other than ones like the ones I have but I can give ya the hidden blade and sword now… if I can find them in my backpack.” I said and pulled my backpack out and looked through it, “Ah here they are a hidden blade and sword… do you want two hidden blades?” Max thought for a moment, then said, “Well, you can never be too paranoid. I’ll have two of them then.” “Alright comin’ right up!” I said as I pulled out what looked like a stick the size of my underarm and a wooden box, “Ok the sword is the stick and it has leather straps to put it on your arm.” I demonstrated by strapping it to my arm and flicking it so that it flew forward and into my hand while still being connected to my underarm, “Now do you know how to put on a hidden blade?” “Sadly, no. But I could probably figure out how if it’s just a few straps that you have to tighten.” “Well it’s just like the sword just different mechanisms.” “Okay then, I can figure out how they work-” she paused as she noticed something and floated to the ground. “Dammit, I need to stop doing that.” “Doing what exactly?” I asked not noticing a difference. “Not walking. I’m gonna turn into a blob of fat if I float around for too long and I don’t want to lose my figure.” “Oh well you do have a nice figure and I would hate for it to be ruined… but I guess this is finally the end of this meeting and don’t be afraid of calling me for anything because I am quite ok with you summoning me.” I said. “Okay, see ya later then.” “I guess, well see ya some time soon, *clears throat* Our contract is complete Max.” I said with a smile, “And remember I am always there just a summon away… wow that sounded a lot less cheesy in my head. “Don’t break too many hearts,” Max said as a portal opened under her and she fell in. Well that was quite the talk and I found and helped a new friend. And I kept walking down the road going for Ponyville. > The arrival in Ponyville > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I walked down the road from Canterlot thinking of the meeting with Max… It. Was. Awesome. I can’t believe someone got Displaced as Max from Life Is Strange… maybe someone got Displaced as The Doctor because that would be awesome especially if it was David Tennant. You first Doctor is the Doctor you never forget. I kept walking and looking around at the scenery just having a blast in the calm summer air. I slowly made my way down the mountain road and onto the more plain road of the grassland between Canterlot mountain and Ponyville. Hm what is the first thing I’m going to do when I get there? probably get a temporary home in a tavern, then get Scoots, then get a crew and then get to my old base in the cave on the east side of Equestria and after that put up a town… wow I have a big plan and a lot to do. While I thought out my plan I walked into Ponyville. Ow. I stood up and got immediately thrown down again with a pink anthro pony sitting on my chest. “AreyounewintownbecauseIhaveneverseenyoubeforeandIknoweveryponyinPonyvilleandmypinkiesensealsotoldmetherewasanewponycomingtotown…” She said until I put my hand on her mussle and stopped her. “Please speak a bit slower you are making my head hurt and that was racist.” I said and she was racist like every other pony because they said everypony instead of everyone or everybody even though I was not a pony nor was griffins, goats and/or minotaurs. "Ok and I'm... Sorry? For being racist." She said not knowing the word. "It's ok just next time you have non ponies in the room or is talking to a non pony please use anyone or anybody it's." I said "Do you know where there is a tavern or low-class hotel? By any chance." "Yes I know Berry has a bar and there is a hotel at the town center." She said and pointed. "Thank you for the help... And could you get off me so I could go?" I asked getting tired of laying on the ground and wanting to get going. "Oh, yes." she stood up "And... *Gasp*" She ran off to somewhere. If I'm right she is going to make me a party. "Of course silly." I heard from across town. *sigh* "I won't even question it." I said as I walked further into town trying to find the hotel... I only needed the bar if I wanted to get drunk. After walking around for a bit I finally found the city center and now to finding the hotel. I walked around for a time a bit clueless as to what building was the hotel. all these damn building all look the same... Wait *facepalm* "I'm so stupid... I just looked at the buildings not the signs." I muttered to myself. I looked around and found the hotel sign and walked in and... And I asked for a low-class hotel not a good looking, classy, high-class hotel like this one... Or this is pony low-class, I walked up to the receptionist and looked at her. "Excuse me but could I have a room?" I asked. "How long are you going to be staying?" She asked not even looking up at me. "Um, as long as I'm paying?" I said not sure of what to say. "We are not an apartment building please use a specific number of days." She said snob like. "Fine, for atleast three weeks." I said really getting a nerve on. "Ok then that will be three hundred bits." She said. "*sigh* ok." I said as I pulled out a big sack of bits taking a few handfuls out and counting them real fast "Take any extra as tips." I said. She took the money "Name, age and work." She said. "Name is Edward Kenway, age is... Ah shit what is it? Thirty-five and work? Pirateering." I said as she looked at me with a confused look. "You are a what?" She asked. "A captain, a captain of a ship." I answered. "Ok just writing that down and... Done." She said and handed me a key. "Thanks." I said as I walked up the stairs to my left and looked at my key, room 37, ok, I walked down the corridor and found my room. I walked in and found a normal, not formal, hotel room with a middle sized bed, Mini bar, bathroom and walk in closet. The walk in closet will be useful when I get more clothes from Rarity So I got my stuff put out (which means all the contents of my backpack): Two spare hidden blades, two ekstra hidden swords, a few smoke grenades, my usual gear (since walking into a town with a lot of weapons is usually a bad idea), some spare clothes (like a ekstra pair of shoes, a T-shirt and shorts which was also dirty), and of course more guns all my spare guns and ammo. So I began hiding most of my weapons around the room while I also made a list of where and why I was hiding them there, after that I put my usual gear under my assasins clothes and walked out of the hotel to find one seamstress. I walke a bit around town trying to figure out where it was and finally I found the one, the only carousel boutique, so I walked up to the door and knocked. "Ah, a customer." I heard Rarity say from the other side of the door and a few moments after The door was opened "Welcome to the Carousel Boutique, where everything is manifique, and what can I do for you today?" She asked. "I just need a new outfit sewn and nothing else really, the outfit needs to look just like this not all glimered up just like this just not as dusty and ripped." I said and then she looked down at my clothes and made an overexagerated gasp. "Darling, what have you done to this beautiful design of an outfit?!" She asked clearly not taking my fighting clothes well. "Heh heh, yeah... Um... I fell of a cliff... Yeah that's what happenened, I fell of a cliff." I said as I rubbed the back of my head. "But how did you do that?" She asked. "Walked too close to the edge and the dirt fell from under my feet and I fell down the cliff." I answered getting awkward at all the questions. "Ok. I guess that makes sense, but how did you survive that?" She asked getting a bit too question-y. "Will power, I wanted to survive so I did and now I'm here with a damaged outfit and want to have a new one made. Here. At the Carousel Boutique, so are you interested or not? because I could just get someone else to do it." I said as she began to get that conversation was over. "Oh, yes, come in." She said as she turned around and walked back into the boutique. I followed her inside and took of my west at that wasn't damaged as much, barely more than just a few scratches, I sat down on a chair and looked around. Rarity cleared her throat getting my attention "Darling, I need your outfit to make a new one." I looked at her "Miss Rarity are you asking me to strip my clothes off?" I said with a playful smile. Rarity instantly blushed "No no, I... Just need your outfit to make a new one." I chuckled a little "I was just making a joke nothing to worry about and I can take care of that anyway." Ok this is going to hurt I snapped my fingers and instantly a big headache came to the world, but I had a new hoodie and cargo shorts on under my outfit, so I took off my assassin clothes. "Ok mr..." Rarity let the end of that sentence hang. "Kenway, Edward Kenway." I said kinda like James Bond. "Ah, mr. Kenway now just give me that outfit and I'll begin immediately." Rarity said as she took my outfit and put it on a table. "Thanks and when you are done just give me a prize." I said as I walked out of the boutique. I walked through the streets and saw a music shop with a vinyl record and a cello as a sign on the front, I walked over and entered the shop just to look at some of the stuff they had... "Hello sir, can I help you with anything?” I turned and saw… Octavia. “Oh, no I’m quite fine, I’m just looking.” I said with a smile. “Ok, I’ll be over at the counter if you need me.” She said and walked over to the counter. I began walking around the shop looking at different instruments, like: a guitar, a cello and a DJ table, I kept walking around and then I saw a grand piano, I immediately flew at it and sat down opening it. “Uh, sir you shouldn’t touch the instruments.” Octavia said as she walked up to me. I turned my head “Can I touch it if I play a bit for you?” I asked looking stoked to play. “Fine... but if you want to touch it again please buy it.” She told me as she took a chair and sat down. I looked at the tangents and put my hands on it and let my mind find one of the songs I had practised. When I was done I turned and looked at Octavia to see what she thought, she had her mouth open and looked at me with a look that said confused and in awe. “Heh, what did you think?” I asked scratching the back of my head. “That. Was. Amazing! Where did you learn that?” Octavia asked “But how do you know Vinyl’s nickname for me?” My eyes became a few sizes larger, not that she could see that because of my aviators “Heh, I heard her say it when I saw you two walking down the street.” Trying that excuse. “Ok makes sense, but where did you learn to play like that?” She asked. “I kinda took a few lessons, then quit and learned it on my own.” I said. I didn’t quit, I didn’t have enough money to keep going… stupid parents. “But now I want to buy it.” I said and pulled out my big sack of bits from my backpack. “ok just this way.” She said and lead me to the counter “Ok so the piano costs a hundred bits. But I want to sell it to you for seventyfive.” “Ok.” I said as I took the sack and grabbed one hundred and fifty bits and put it on the counter. “Um, sir this is too many.” She said and eyed the bits. “ha, I don’t care, take ‘em I have enough already.” I said and turned around after putting the sack back into my backpack “oh, and could you have it here? I don’t have my own place yet so yeah.” “Sure just come get it at some point.” She said and put the bits into the register. I walked out the door and began walking in the direction of the Everfree forest… just to take a stroll. > A Strange Stroll In the Everfree > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I began to near the outskirts of town on the road to the Everfree. Hm should I just stroll or do something else. I walked past Fluttershy’s cottage and slowly entering the Everfree, while walking I looked around getting a feel for where the best place for a hidden base with a retractable roof would be.         I then saw a firework out in the distance darkness of the forest that peaked my curiosity, so I began walking towards the fireworks, even though that is the most stupid thing you could do in any horror movie… this isn’t a horror movie, is it?         I slowly made my way through the forest crouched down for maximum sneak, I peeked through the bushes and saw…         A human girl in a yellow trench coat throwing colorful rays into the air, which sounded off like fireworks. A pair of red goggle were on her head, a short shirt(I don’t know what they’re called), cargo pants and yellow earrings.         I looked on for a bit before I revealed myself still in my not permanent clothing, so not looking exactly like Kenway “Hello, how can I help you?”         She seemed to jump at that, and whipped around to me with shock, then calmness. “Oh, you must be Edward Kenway! The Displaced Assassin, Pirate, etc.” She looked me up and down. “How can you be a pirate, and an assassin?”         “Simple, I have a pirate ship, I do pirate stuff, I have hidden blades and I also do assassin stuff. But now, why are you here?” I said with a curious look “Because I don’t remember, ever meeting you.”         She smirked, gave a twirl, and replied. “I’m Jubilee! Displaced girl wonder, X-Man of the Power Ponies in Maretropolis, explosive mutant, and one of the “Intro Guys”, at your service.” She bowed with one arm to her chest, and the other outstretched. “I’ve come to give you a contract from Darth Folteren.” She straightened herself out. “But first, I need to get some water, I’ve been here yelling for hours…”         “Oh, so you are here for Folty and… “Intro Guys”?... Well not the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard, but first to the water.” I said and pointed in the direction of Ponyville “Heh, you need to first get used to stuff like that… kinda got infected by Discord’s random thingy…” I got cut off by a whole group of royal guards jumping out of the bushes. “Seriously why does my life need to be so hard.” I muttered to myself.         “Stop right there criminals, you are hereby arrested for plotting to attack Ponyville!” One of the guards yelled.         Jubilee stepped forward. “Believe me, I don’t plot.” She raised her arm as it started to glow. “And I do what I friggin want!” She aimed her arm at one of the guard, who was knocked back and hit a tree.         She turned her head to the one who spoke. “If I wanted Ponyville gone, I’d have done it by now.” She bent her neck sideways, giving off an audible ‘pop’. “And at what point did you realize you were screwed?” After saying that, both arms started to glow.         I looked around at the group of guards then thinking how I could look as badass… I then proceeded to draw both my swords and put my back against hers… well at least a few inches apart “Look guys we don’t want any trouble we just want to have a chat..”         “Shut it criminal!” He then made a gesture with his head and arrows began flying from the trees.         I heard Jubilee use her energy attacks, and all the arrows explode. She then rushes to the leader and grabs his face, before an audible ‘pew’, and blood flew everywhere.         I sheathed my swords and drew two of my guns pointed into the treetops, put on my eagle vision and began shooting, you could see blood slowly go down the trunks of the trees and see brain matter, skull fragments and other stuff collect at the roots of the trees.         The guards slowly recovered from the shock of seeing all the gore and finally getting into combat positions.         I saw Jubilee shaking a bit, then turn to the remaining guards. “Th-that was a warning shot! I’ll let you leave, but if you stay, I don’t p-promise your s-survival!”         I put away my guns and drew my swords. But not before snapping my fingers and getting a headache “Three… Two… One.” I counted before the armor of the guards all fell off, I smiled with a bit of a pained expression. “Heh I think you should run… makes it more enjoyable to find you in this dark forest.” I gesture to the forest around us.         “W-we know the f-forest like the b-back of our hand.” One of the guards said.         “Ha, trust me I know it better.” I said with a dark smile.         Jubilee shrugged, and blasted a tree, which fell instantly. “I don’t need to.”         “Oh, but Jubilee what’s the fun in easy prey? And I would hate to destroy this forest.” I said with a smile.         She rolled her eyes. “You think blowing up trees is easy? And I find being loud and powerful a fun tool for scaring ponies.”         “Well, you are probably right, but I meant it’s no fun exploding stuff, the fun stuff is to be loud one place and then be right behind the next guy… A hunt you can say, just more scarring and less literal hunting.” I said with a… Again, smile.         “I think they’re tryin’ to run.” Jubilee pointed out.         “Let them, when their armor fell off I also scrambled their sense of direction so they are basically just headless chickens.” I said as I saw a few small pools of liquid in front of the bushes. “ha, they peed themselves by us talking about how to kill them, ha!”         “Don’t say headless…” Jubilee mumbled, walked towards a boulder embedded in the ground, and sat down on it. “I didn’t mean to kill him…”         “Have you ever killed anyone?” I asked as I sat down on the ground in front of the boulder. “Other than that guy?”         She nodded. “I’ve killed some rapists and pedophiers, but never a guard just doing his duty. He didn’t know better…”         “Heh, I’ve killed one guy before I came here, That’s how living on the street is, always trying to survive just to live another day, I was on the street because my dad left before I was born and my mom was a raging alcoholic, so I escaped got a few jobs here and there, stole a few wallets, got caught once and being chased is not something you want to be, but after that he caught me and began beating me. I grabbed a well placed knife and stabbed and when I turned eighteen got a good job, an apartment and when I was twenty my own car and not long after got to this cool gaming convention, guess you know the rest.” I told her with a sad expression. “But I always remember that one time I killed someone even if it was in self defence.”         Jubilee sat still. Then, “That isn’t too far from my story… But that doesn’t matter right now. I still need to tell you the contract.” She straightened herself. “Lord Folteren is in… a bit of a pickle, for lack of a better word. During a void excercise, he was thrown into another Displaced’s world… It… got out of hand… Really out of hand. To say it simply, the other Displaced didn’t share Folteren’s point of view, and the two engaged.” Jubilee left it hanging, seeing my response.         “So a fight? And Folty wants help?” I looked at her. “Do you know who this other displaced is?”         Jubilee nodded. “Lee Connors, the Venom. The two engaged, and Folteren’s Scootaloo was severely injured. But, since Folteren attacked Lee Connors’s girlfriend, the two have come to a rivalry. Such a big rivalry, that their Displacer has ordered my sister, seven mares, and I to search for Displaced to help either side. A War, if you will. I myself will be there, preparing battlefields and giving refreshments… Anyway, Folteren asked me to look for you since Lee is bringing someone close to him… Darn! Ugh… Oh, right! He wants you to be a ‘commander’ in this war.”         I froze at the name Lee Connors “Lee Connors? Lee Con… Oh my god I have his token, just never met him, I got it from Max Caulfield and... commander? What did I do to deserve that title? I don’t know what to say about that, just wow!” I got up and stretched before pacing back and forth, just to keep my legs awake.         “Never heard of ‘Max’ before. I don’t even think Lee knows her yet… How’d she say she got it? And what you did to get that title was meet Folteren. He’s only met three Displaced other than Lee. You, Golden Freddy, and Pegasus. He gave this position to you because he knows you’re a pirate captain, and knows you personally. He won't trust anyone but you three in the war, other than his generals. Golden isn’t helping Folteren though, and we haven’t reached Pegasus.”         “Well the one Max is Displaced as is from Life Is Strange and she overpaid her merchant and he gave her two of every token to give away and do whatever with, she is also quite the sex machine, I mean she took the whole guard and many of the Displaced she met, also tried to seduce me but that didn’t work… well it was more of a flirt, I also caught her while she was in shower.” I said with a grin.         Jubilee gave me a deadpan, “I’m a teenage girl, I don’t want to hear about your sex life… or lack thereof.”         “Well, little lady, you asked me about her so I told you and shouldn’t you have learned that it’s not a good idea to burn someone who can look into your Displaced life.” I threatened.         She rolled her eyes, and flicked her wrist at a tree, that blew up instantly. “My Displaced life isn’t that big a deal. I’m the first Displaced my Displacer created, and I turned into a superhero. That’s it. Don’t threaten me with literally nothing. And I can kick ya outa helping your friend Folty.”         “Ok, sorry, I just don’t take well to insults, that’s all and I really hope we can be on a good footing just so that I at least can help Folty.” I said lifting my hands in a peace kind of gesture Man I hate my life on the street since that is where I got the anti insult thing from.         She took my hand, and shook it, “S’okay! I know what it’s like to be insulted daily! Family stincks! I’m sorry, I meant it as a joke… You gotta admit, it was a bit funny.” She giggled a bit.         “You mean the comment on my sex life? Meh, it’s not like I never had any here, a lover here and there nothing special and you are totally right about family… But I did still promise Folty to adopt Scoots if she doesn’t have any family.” I said with a sad smile at the end. “Would be nice to try and keep her from what I did and change a life.” The last part I muttered.         “Wish I had a guy like you bad on earth…” Jubilee mumbled, then shook her head. “And you better take better care of this Scoots than Folteren did with his!”         “I already promised to not take her on any raids and or other unsafe things and to be a good parent, though I will teach her to use hidden blades.” I said and added a sheepish grin at the end.         “You sound alot like Folteren… He trained his Scoots to use Lightsabers… Anyway, there any information you need?” Jubilee asked, “Folteren said you most likely wouldn’t. He even said I wouldn’t be able to say a word.”         “Ha, good ol’ Folty… Wasn’t there something about water at some point? And Folty will never be able to predict me.” I laughed.         “I think I’ll just go back and get some at home.” She mumbled. “Oh! By the way, Lee and Folteren’s tokens were shut off due to me time travelling here. Well, they’ve been down for a while, but you probably didn’t know that… Time travel…”         “Time Travel?! Did you meet the younger or older me at some point?! Ok, sorry for that... it’s just... Time Travel... wow.” I was a little sheepish.         “S’okay… And no, I’ve never met you in your past, or mine. This is the third time I’ve done it by myself. And I can’t go to earth without my Displacer.”         “I’ve always been interested in how they do it… Displacers I mean.” I said.         Jubilee smirked, “I’ve seen it a couple times. Not all Displacers do things the same, but what most do is that they locate a candidate who goes to comic-co, brony-con, game-con, etc. They find their victims in different ways, from destiny, personality checks, or plain randomness. My Displacer has a special way of handling his Displaced. After he learned his powers, he went through time and bought an orphanage. He paid some people to run it, and made sure they were the worst he could find. He would select one of them at a time, and beckon them to a con. There, he enchants an object to gain their attention, and when they touch it, they get sent to Equestria by the same enchantment. He did this to Folteren, me, and others like my friends the Elements of Insanity… Mostly Brutal and Fluttershout from that group…”         “Elements of Insanity? Wait, no, I won’t question it, wanna go into Ponyville… just not like I did the first time. But do you want to go into Ponyville or do you want to stay out here?” I asked.         “Ponyville.” She said quickly. Keep Reading In the Next part > A Strange Stroll In Ponyville > --------------------------------------------------------------------------         We slowly made our way through the dense forest heading towards Ponyville.         “So while we’re walking, what exactly do you want to drink… or do when we reach Ponyville?” I asked backwards at Jubilee.         “Well, there’s not much we Echo Displaced can do, but I’d like to try a milkshake from Sugarcube Corner, then I was thinking I could check up on how Silver is… I didn’t come here alone, a pony came with me… She’ll be waiting near the park, and she’s pretty patient. After we check on her, I was thinking of… Well, I guess I’ll improvise then on.” Jubilee shrugged.         “Ok, so… to Sugarcube Corner and get a milkshake and then check up on Silver, then improvise, got it.” I checked my watch and saw it was about midday, “And maybe have some cake if it isn’t too much trouble.” I could already feel my mouth watering.         Jubilee pointed up, “To Ponyville! Gentlemen, lead the way!” She started running up ahead, giggling like a schoolgirl.         I sighed and ran after her, she had a surprising speed, then I realised that she said Echo Displaced not just Displaced and began pondering on what that could be while running full on parkour through the trees.         We finally arrived in Ponyville, and ponies didn’t seem to care, or seemed friendly. Jubilee seemed to love this. Smiling and waving at random ponies as we walked the rest of the way to the sugar shop.         “Hi! Nice weather we’re having, right?” Jubilee called to a mint green mare with a lyre in her hands.         I froze when I saw the unicorn stare at us and remembered who she is… Lyra Heartstrings the human obsessed unicorn with an addiction on finding them, I just stood totally still and didn’t move… Ok, her vision is based on movements, so if I just stay perfectly still…         Lyra just looked at us, from one to the other and just turned and began walking away like nothing happened… though with her mouth agape.         “What’s her problem? I was trying to be nice! Oh well…” Jubilee sighed, but continued to say ‘hi’ or ‘good day’. We finally reached Sugarcube Corner, and Jubilee took a booth seat.         “Do they serve? Or is it like McDonald? Or is it a normal bakery?” She asked.         “I have no idea, but maybe it’s like la glace in Denmark… Yes I once travelled to Europe… and had cake in Denmark… and they serve.” I said.         Suddenly there was a pink blur and Pinkie Pie was standing at our table, “What kind of cake do you want?” She asked.         “Chocolate strawberry! I’ve been denied it for years! And now I don’t have Surge, Sylar, or my mother to stop me!” Jubilee cried, causing a stallion behind her to slap her with a newspaper.         “Can I have a slice of chocolate cake with white chocolate droppings and caramel sauce…” I looked at Pink… You know what I’ll just call her Pinks… Pinks that had a look at my face just to make sure she heard right.         “You know what? I’ll have a chocolate slice of cake, and strawberry milkshake… I’ve seen this place serve milkshakes before… Miss?” Jubilee pouted and crossed her arms.         “And could I have a chocolate milkshake please?” I asked as Pinks vanished in a blur, “So why are you making such a face? I didn’t do something did I?”         “No, I just thought she was staring at us a bit too intently… well, you too intently.” Jubilee shrugged, “It creeped me out, even when my Pinkie did it…” A sad expression appeared on her face, “Well, that was before… Nevermind… I don’t think you’d be interested...”         I looked at her with a curious look, “Before… what?” I asked trying to imply I was interested, “Why would you think that I wouldn’t be interested?”         She seemed surprised, “Not many Displaced care much about what happened… They were never interested…” Her sad expression only grew worse. “I haven’t been to my Equestria’s in years… My first one is locked off, and not even Time Spinner can go in to see his family… The second hates me, the third is…” She shivered, “Nothing I like to think about. The last one I got attached too… but… they were all killed… That whole universe was destroyed… Pinkie, Twilight, Rainbow… All of them died…”         I ran all the information through my mind, and at that the realisation hit me, “Oh.” I couldn’t say anything else, I could just sit there, but at last I moved my hand to hold hers, “You know what? I am on the brink of tears right here just by your description of it… so I can’t even imagine how you are feeling… But know I am here If you need me.” I put a piece of silver in her hand with the form of a small coin with a skeletal head on it.         “The pain… so much… pain…” Her eyes started to water, “I’ve never felt so much… pain…”         “It always hurts and it will forever, but you just have to live with it use it to make you stronger and in the end never forget it.” I felt myself let a few tears fall, “but no matter what you have to keep fighting. No matter what, never give up.”         Jubilee stopped crying. Only to start giggling, “You have no idea how funny that is… I can’t live with it!” Her giggling turned to full blown laughing.         “You are seriously giving me the creeps right now.” I looked around to see the ponies looking at us…         “I was there when that universe blew up… I’m just an Echo Displaced… A Displaced that died and was brought back only half as good as they used to be!” She giggled, “Funny the things that slip your mind…”         “Uh, Jubilee would you please take your voice down… I think you are scaring the rest of the patrons.” I nervously looked around.         Jubilee stopped, and looked around. Her smile faded, and she seemed to take on a whole other personality. A shy one.         “I-I’m s-s-sorry… I’ve b-been working on that…” She said, barely above a whisper.         I was just as confused as all the others in here… And then Pinks came back with our cake and milkshakes and everything went back to normal. “Jubilee, you are really confusing me right now.”         “When I died in that universe, my Displacer was distraught. He used an ability to bring back his Displaced, which was me. Know, I’m what he calls an Echo Displaced. I’m like a zombie or a vampire… Or frankenstein's monster… I was brought back, but I can’t disobey a Displaced… I’m stuck doing whatever you, or any others tell me, and I have no say in the matter… But I’m still real. I’m the same girl that got Displaced. I just… died once, that’s all!”         “Ok… So I could tell you to do something and you would do it no objections?... Good thing I'm not one of those guys who would use that against you.” I said.         She sighed, “Thank you. I’ve told people, and they’ve done the, ‘why are you hitting yourself’ joke… for hours, and hours… and hours.”         “God damn, those guys are some jerks, why would you make someone destroy their face for their own pleasure, I really hate them all of a sudden.” I had gotten a little bit angry at them… and maybe not just because they would do it…         “Don’t tell anyone, who knows what they'd do…” She took her fork and cut a piece off and proceeded to eat it. “Did Pinkie hear any of this?”         I looked around and saw Pinks behind the counter with a walkman… A walkman? Fourth wall breaking or what? “No, I don’t think she did.” I said as I began eating my cake too.         She nodded, “Kay… So! Anything about the war you wanna know? I don’t wanna talk about the echo thing...”         I thought about it for a sec, “I don’t know if I want to know anything… Ok… I have a question, how much help will Folty need? From me to be exact… Other than helping him as a commander and friend.”         Jubilee shrugged, “Depends on how many Displaced Lee gets to help him… which is a bunch… I’m actually joining Lee as a minor commander… The reason I’m joining him is because my rival Sylar is a minor commander on Folteren’s side.”         “So I’m going to be fighting other Displaced? Who exactly?” I asked wanting to know my enemies.         “Well, there’s little I remember… but, I think they have Alduiin the dragon king, Metal Sonic, Liberty Prime, Sam Aran, Deathwing, the Powerpuff Girls, Jason Hughes, Delta Guardian Zinnia, E-102, etc… It’s a lot, I know…”         “I feel so fucked right now… And it feels great! I have never felt so alive!” I said as I lowered my voice a bit, “Liberty Prime? Fallout 3, I loved that game… though there is some I don’t know like, Jason and E-102… Other than that I’m pretty sure I know everyone… or at least the one they got Displaced as.”         “Jason is Ben 10, you know, the shapeshifter who can turn into aliens? And E-102 is a robot from Sonic the hedgehog… I’m kinda scared about the other side though… you know, the ones you’re with…” Jubilee shuddered.         “Eh, it’ll be fine.” I dismissed, “But my side is kinda fucked… before it began, though if Folty was a bit more of a social guy, we would have more men… other than an army of stupid battle robots…”         “Oh… Um… Yeah, about that… he’s got more than that. He has a Zerg Broodmother called Marsara, a psychopathic robot called Chaos Jenny, Evil Cole MacGrath- who can turn into the Beast, Maximillion Pegasus, and an army of Sith Pinkie’s… I’d say Lee’s pretty screwed...”         “Well, if you put it that way… Wait, we have an army of sith Pinkies?” I almost choked on the piece of cake I had in my mouth, “Are you serious?!” I asked after having coughed a bit.         “I think he cloned Pinkie, and since she’s his granddaughter, she had the force. He used the mirror pond to clone her…”         “Oh, the pool… That explains the Pinkie army… And Cole *squee* MacGrath?” I just couldn’t contain my inner fanboy.         “Yeah, he’s pretty spot on… He’s funny, but a bit sadistic… He has all the powers of the second game, even the Beast part.” Jubilee smirked, “What? Are you an InFamous fan?”         “If it wasn’t obvious enough yes, yes I am… *squee* I am going to fight along Cole MacGrath *squee*” I was too far into fanboying to stop.         Jubilee giggled, “He is pretty cool… be careful though, he’s a bit off his rocker after Time Spinner… well… Displaced him. Just stay out of his way or wear rubber, he’s a berserker.”         “I have been hit by Lightning multiple times so don’t worry… It was even within the same two minutes.” I said as I rubbed a sore spot on my back that would never go away.         “Anyway, there are more, like a Nightingale, but I don’t know much about them… I think Time is going to bring in Metroplex for Lee… But I think he has a way to even it out with CJ’s mechanical building…” She leaned closer to me, “I think she’s gonna make Trypticon… Don’t tell anyone.”         “... The heck is Trypticon?” I asked as I scratched my head.         “Ever play Transformers? Or watch the old TV show? Trypticon is a giant Decepticon that is on equal footing with Metroplex.”         I gave her a deadpan look that said ‘No I had no money for it’ “I have never seen or played Transformers… Only heard of it.”         Jubilee sighed. “Wow, you know all these things, but the one of the few things Hasbro has made that is cool you don’t have a clue… I guess you’ve never seen My Little Pony G4?”         “I have at least seen that… Or I would be blind to this world… And that was only by accident… I just scrolled through my channels… when I had enough for a little tv for my small apartment and saw that show wondered and researched… Never really got caught by Transformers though.” I was a little awkward about it… But hey, I just never got caught by it.         “Geez… I found the show after watching Transformers Prime… Okay, simple explanation. Transformers are a race of living robots that change into electronics like cars, trucks, airplanes, space shuttles, etc. Except the few interesting ones like: Beast Wars were the Transformers turn into animals, Unicron who transforms into a planet that eats other planets, Metroplex and Trypticon who turn into cities, the Dinobots who turn into dinosaurs, Insecticons who turn into giant bugs, etc. Got it?”         I just took the explanation in without question, “Ok, I wish I saw Transformers… But hey, I can still do it, with just a little chaos magic and I will have a tv that can watch all of it.” I ended it with a small maniacal laughter just to finish it off.         “Just don’t watch G2, G1 was the best even after the movie… I cried at during that one…” Jubilee giggled, “Don’t judge, I was eight and I hated what they did… The newer movies sucked though, too many retarded jokes…”         “And by retarded jokes you mean?...” I never really saw much tv or watched many movies… Too much training.         “It was just stupid… Jokes about sex, in the second one of the characters was walking around with his pants down, the main human was an asshole who hogged up the movie and was overrated, in the first one the director killed a fan favorite just to mess with fans… fourth wasn’t too bad, and the MLP reference was to die for, I mean, a Rainbow Dash plushie transforming into an assault rifle! That was cool!”         “Well, now I have something to look forward to… But no spoilers.” I said now really wanting to check out Transformers. “So wanna’ check on Silver soon? Since we are both done with cake and milkshakes.”         Jubilee nodded, “Yeah… Tell me what you thought of the G1 Movie when the war comes around, I’ll be the one who picks you up.” She stood up, bringing the tray to the counter. “Thank you, he’ll pay.”         I walked up to the counter, “So how much?”         “About ten bits.” Pinks said happily.         I pulled out my bag of bits and took twelve bits, “Keep the rest.” I said as I put the money on the counter and walked out with Jubilee.         It didn’t take too long until we got to where Jubilee said Silver was. Jubilee ran over to a brown-ish orange-ish mare with a white mane. What looked like a wrench adorned her flank, and her silver eyes were new. She was on all fours and looked like the normal show instead of Anthro.         “Inconceivable!” She yelled in anger, “This is the fifth time it’s broken down!”         “Hey Silver Spanner! Over here!” Jubilee called over. Silver Spanner looked over to us, a look of relief written over her face. She galloped over to where we were, and hugged Jubilee’s leg.         “This world is awful! Three girls keep trying to get their cutie marks in…” Silver shuddered, “Grooming…”         “Ah, the Cutie Mark Crusaders is on the loose… move a bit to your left, about two meters.”I said with a serious look.         Silver whipped her head in that direction, and Jubilee gave it a glance.         “They are trying to capture you so move two meters to your left… Now.” I said trying to save her from the impending doom of the cutie mark crusaders.         Silver moved three meters to the left and in just that moment a net fell over the spot she just stood on. Silver jumped, and Jubilee’s eyes widened.         “The heck?” The Echo said.         “I guess it’s kinda like Pinkie’s sense… So don’t question it.” I answered.         “Not that! Where the heck did the net come from!?”         “The tree right over there.” I pointed to a tree almost right over us.         Jubilee looked in that direction, “Okay, who’s up there!? I have half a mind to call your families about animal abuse!” Silver glared at Jubilee, clearly offended. “And this isn’t yours, she’s mine.”         After those words were spoken, Spanner glared harder. “I am not your pet…” She mumbled.         Also after those words three ‘awww’s came from the tree and out came the Cutie Mark Crusaders, looking a bit down over the failed cutie mark quest.         “We’re sorry...”         “We didn’t mean to offend…”         “Sorry for that…”         Jubilee smirked, “S’okay, I did something like that once… I’m Jubilee, and you must be the C.M.C. I’ve heard about… Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, right? Your reputations precede you young troublemakers.” Her smile only grew.         “I’m Edward and I will be staying in town for a few weeks… Jubilee just came here to visit for a bit… And she is quite right, your reputations do precede you, though we may have heard some different things.” I smiled my own smile as well.         Jubilee’s hands sparked, “You girls like fireworks?”         “Yes, we do, miss.” They all said… even I said it… just for the jokes.         Jubilee’s face turned mischievous, and threw her hand in the air. A blast of colorful energy went up, and exploded like a normal firework, but more colorful.         “Then you’re gonna love this!”         She did the same with the other. Again and again she sent up energy, not stopping for a second. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were in awe, and Jubilee seemed to be having fun herself.         She sent both hands up, sending a huge energy blast into the air. It exploded, causing a massive fireworks display. It was the biggest I’d ever seen, and it ended up making more and more, seeming to never end. But after a minute, it ended.         “And that’s how I do it!”         “Wow, I just… Wow.” I said sounding a bit like an idiot, then out of nowhere I pull out a horse mask and put it on, “I love it!”         “She’s been working on it for a day… I’ve seen better from her…” Silver said.         “I never said it was my best work, I just can’t remember what else I’ve done… So! Eddie said he liked it, but I’d like to know how ponies see it… What’cha think?” Jubilee asked the Crusaders.         The three fillies were just sitting there looking at Jubilee in awe of what just happened, “How did you do that?” the three of them asked simultaneously.         “I guess you’d say I have a gift, others say it’s a curse. I’m a mutant, and I create these,” Her hand sparked up, “Just like a Unicorn can levitate… Though, I can say for a fact it isn’t all perfect. I mean, who likes it when they get something they want, then it blows up in their face! It’s awesome, don’t get me wrong, but it isn’t all sunshine… I got nothing...”         “And that was lesson one of non-magical powers, now go try to find your cutie mark.” I said as they sped off to try something else, “And don’t spy on us!” I yelled after them, then hearing three ‘aww’s in the distance.         “Aren’t you going to adopt the orange one?” Jubilee asked.         “I want to make sure she is an orphan or not, so patience everything will have it’s time.” I said with an impersonation of an old wise sensei.         “I’m curious now… In my fourth world, Scoots wasn’t one, in the first one, she was made by a mad scientist. But in Folteren’s and a couple others, she is one… I just don’t get it. The multiverse confuses me sometimes… You like Fallout 3?” Jubilee changed the subject, “I’ve been to a Fallout Equestria before… It was badass!”         “Yes I like Fallout 3… Because when I first got a phone I found the thing called Youtube and began watching a lot of play throughs on different stuff, the one I liked the most was the Fallout series… And you’ve been to a Fallout Equestria! You have to show me someday!” I began fanboying again.         “Yes… When Equestria doesn’t have nukes! Give them a magic bomb with radiation… Turns out ponies and zebras don’t like each other very much…”         “I read it… By buying the hardcover books from a website… then read Horizons on Gdocs, I know they hated each other… Hated and hated wanted something the other one had.” I said.         “Well, be careful if they hate each other here… This might be a Fallout Equestria waiting to happen.” Jubilee sighed, “I don't have much more time… Anything you wanna do before I go?”         “Well… No… But… Nah… Ah… Nope… No I have nothing… Even my chaos magic has nothing so I guess this is goodbye for now…”         “I say see you later, cause that’s what I’ll do! Oh, I’m guessing you’ve got my token, right?” She held up her red shades, “Looks like these.”         For comedy I pulled out a girl’s handbag and looked through it, looking for a red pair of shades… Finding no- ow, I was hit in the head by a pair of red shades falling from the sky. “Yes now I have your token… These tokens really know when to pop in.” Unannounced I thought the last part.         “Well… I’ll see ya bro!” She yelled as a vortex opened up under her and Silver.         “Shit!” Yelled Silver.         “I thought this was only supposed to happen to Lee!” Jubilee screamed as they fell. The vortex was closing, and I was about to be left alone again… Was that brain matter on the ground?         I quickly ran over to the not yet closed holes and yelled in, “You talked to the human crazy mare Lyra by the way…! She’ll be after me now!”         The reply I heard made me laugh, “I don’t give a fuck! I’m falling!”         I laughed for a bit as the vortex closed and then I walked away from there with a smile on my face and a happy feeling in my gut.         When I got back to the hotel I entered my room and took a piece of paper and a quill.          To Miss Maxine Caulfield.         Hi Max I hope you’re doing well… I was just wondering if I could fly an airship… Since I read that you were making one… That is though apparently not directly connected to my magic which means resting for me, but still it would be nice if I could get to fly one again.         From Captain Edward Kenway. Then I threw it into the air and a hole appeared and sucked it in.
