In a world were gods literally walk amoung mortals. Were the sun and moon are raised by immortal beings and magic rules the very land itself you expect a cross player sent to Equestria have superpowers? Wrong for I'm Lex Luthor and I don't need them.

I heard the rumors and the tales of people Disappearing. I didn't pay it too much attention. Went to Comic Con as my favorite Character, you know the rest.
In a world with gods, spirits, demigods, magic and monsters you expect any cross player to have abilities to survive in this world. Well not this guy. He is Lex Luthor. A hero or a Villain it is up for debate. However there one thing this guy has. Smarts, and he knows how to use them.

A displaced tale using one of the greatest Arch Enemies in all of fiction.

He's Back Celestia

View Online

How long as it been? A thousand years last time I counted. I need some way to stay sane after all. It is below me to give into insanity.

A thousand years of being imprisoned in this statue. It seems dark magic really is as dangerous as Celestia warned me. Well then I'll just be more careful next time. However its a good thing Celestia left me in this vaunt instead of in the garden with Discord. The sun and air would be nice but being a bird toilet is not on my to do list any time soon.

The sound of creaking soon got my attention. The surprising thing was it was coming from my own statue. This was a surprise because the curse could only be lifted by the use of the elemennts. Oh Nightmare Moon must have returned and been defeated. Look like Celestia finally gets Luna back and I get set free. We both win after all.

The statue around me has finally was broken. A thousand years was a long time to stay in one place so I gave some stretches to get the blood flowing again. "That much better," I whipped the dust off my outfit, no need to look dirty after all. "Now where is my armor?" I ask, most likely Celestia keep it. Well time to go get it after all it is mine.

(Third Person POV)

Shining Armor stood with the guard. With the report of Nightmare Moon the guard was on high alter give resent events. Shining Armor couldn't believe that a old mares tale was real. Nightmare Moon what's next Discord? As he went for the vault to check up However a guard saw a shadow moving to the vaunts. "Stop right there! We have orders from the Princess no one is allowed in this Vaunt!" The guard said pointing his weapon at the intruder in question.

"Oh don't worry I'm just here to get what's mine there no need for this to get violate after all." The pony standing there didn't look right. His face for one was kinda flat and his head had no hair on it. He wasn't anything Shining or the guards had ever seen. He was wearing a green trench coat, white gloves and black boots. He held up self up and had a air about him that gave the appeared of importance.

"You are not allowed within here." The earth pony said weapon at the ready.

The thing had a smile at this it was smug. "Is that so?" He grabbed the spear pulling the pony close to him and gave him a right hook as he fell to the ground. Shining seeing this had both his magic and his sword at the ready to fight. However the thing pulled out a small round object and rolled it on the ground.

After a few moments of rolling it stopped and released a strange gas that caused all the guards and Shining to cough. "What is this?" Shining Armor asked he couldn't see with the tears in his eyes and the coughing keep him from casting on his spell. The green trench coat wearing being had on a strange mask as he walked up to him.

"Its a not lethal gas if that would help calm you down." He said as the grabbed and tossed Shining Armor to the ground. He walked right passed him and undid the lock to the door. "I just need to get one thing that's mine then I'll be on my way nothing more nothing less." The vaunt opened up as the guy walked into it his object was right in the center of room.

(The Human POV)

There it is just as I leaved it. I must thank Celestia she was smart enough to keep it under her care. Don't need a villain or hostile nation taking the suit and destroying the world with there limited understanding of it after all. I walked into it as it opened for me.

Lets see power core is still stable seems switching the original one for magic was a good choice. Weapons systems Online can't be to careful. Shields are offline but a reboot should fix that. Seems the thrusts are ready. No damage that's good. Lets see, oh my satellites are still in space still operational as well. I must say Celestia and Luna the planets weird star system keeps space rocks out of the way.

Ok its time to leave this place I got to reestablish myself after all. Figure out how the world changed. Good thing I have satellites to help me with the changes to the world after a thousand years.

(Third POV)

As the gas dissipated Shining and the guards got up to see the strange being inside come out with some kinda of machine. Somehow it floated up and took off flying right though a window. "Captain what should we do?"

As the machine flew away the person in it had a screen coming from his arm the information he was getting was being sent to him from his satellites. "Lets see the Crystal Empire is still lost in Sombra temporal displacement spell, the Griffins seem to have expanded after all this time, as have Equestria in its own ways, the everfree forest has grown and over taken the old Castle it seems." He was getting satellites images from around the world.

With the screen gone he took off at max speed heading for his old HQ. 'Hopefully no one as found it.' The person thought

Celestia returned with her sister free of the Nightmare. However went she got there she found the guard on high alter with Shining giving order left and right. He turned to them. "Princess you back." Shining gave a Salute.

She could tell something was up. "At easy Nightmare Moon is no longer a threat why are you all on high alter?" Celestia asked.

"There was this strange creature he broke into the Vaunts and left with a metal thing over him." Shining told the princess. Celestia know the metal thing he was talking about. This means it could only be one person, not a pony or any other thing member of the other races. It was a human, the planets only known human.

"At easy Shining keep the guard on alter but we don't want to scare the populous I know of the creature in question, any sighting of him are to be reported to me." Celestia commanded Shining gave a bow.

"As you command." Shining said as he went to inform the guard of there orders.

Celestia walked away as her mind wondered to this development. 'Well I can only hope a Thousand years in stone has humbled him.' Celestia thought however she mentally slapped herself. 'Who are you kidding yourself Celestia this is Lex Luthor your talking about.'

Celestia could just see all the paper work forming and palling up. "Great what else could go wrong?" Celestia asked.

A Trip to the Griffins

In the highlands of equestria Lex soon came and landed in a naturally formed canyon. As he walked to a rock he brought his arm up with the screen he typed in a few words. A hologram gave way to show a metal object that soon opened up. As Lex walked in he had the door close behind him. "Lights." He said.

The room lit up revealing his old HQ dusty with webs but still mostly intact after a thousand years. "Well first order of business clean this place up." Lex computer on his suit was up and after a few commands the cleaning bots were active. They moved around and started to clean wile the suit opened up allowing Lex to step out.

(A hour later Lex POV)

Oh yes its so good to be back its a good thing too. My robotic helper came to me to give me the tea I ordered. Typing away at my computer I made from what I could gather it was time I look over how things had been over these thousand years across the globe. My thirteen laser satellites were still in orbit my other satellites still fed me information of how the world had changed.

My computer flashed the theoretical amount my small saves have become over a thousand years. I raised an eyebrow at this. "Well now thats something." I leaned back in my chair, I could only guess Celestia would keep tabs on my account. If I had keep it in Equestria that is. Its a good thing I planned for just this scenario. Keeping it in the Griffin empire would keep me from having to deal with her when I don't want to.

(third person POV)

The Griffin capital city was like most Griffin cities build into the mountains and the clouds that they moved into place. The whole place seemed very fortified and rightfully so. The Griffins were a race that had histories of wars with the most major being the unification conflict.

A griffin guard stopped his portal as he picked up something coming in the distance. “What is that sound the alarms.” The Griffin guard got into defense as the strange thing came landing just right on the clouds.

The Griffins had never seen anything like it. However the head with appeared to be actually alive said something. “My I see your High King?” The strange thing said. The guards had the weapons out.

“Not a chance.” One of the armed guards said.

Lex shrugged at this. “Very well.” Lex simply answered. The guard tried to rush him only for them to run into a barrier. The Griffin guards keep hitting the barrier over and over again.

Lex stood there with his suits arms crossed. After about ten minutes of pointless attacks the Griffins stopped just to stare. Lex gave a laugh at them. “It seems you are done.” He walked as the Griffin guards attempted another attack. Lex grabbed the Griffins attacking from the right and left and smashed them together before tossing them at their follow guards.

“What are you?” One of the guards asked, he had his weapon at the ready as the guards stood back up and surrounded him. “Whatever you are-” however he didn’t get to finish as a voice rang out.

“That’s enough.” The guards turned behind to see a Griffin with a scared eye golden feathers and royal garbs a sword was seen on his waist and the winged crown with four gems each one a different clor.. He had a glare at the guards which caused them the bow for a moment.

“High King Hermes, this thing was…” The guard started to explain when there High King walked up.

“Luthor? So you're freed? I hope you learned why you shouldn’t play with dark magic.” High King Hermes said, surprising the guard Griffins.

“My Lord you know this thing?” One of the guards asked. Hermes gave him a glare.

“Oh course I do this,” He said mentioning Lex. “Is Lex Luther, he helped me untie the tribes into the force we are today.” The guards gave a bow to Lex a sign of their apology. High King Hermes walked up to Lex. “Why are you here anyway?”

“Well I came for my account, it's been a thousand years and as you must know Celestia would probably been looking for me.” Lex answered. The Griffin monarchy gave a laugh. Celestia and Lex were not very good at seeing eye to eye. In fact if Hermes once made a bet to see how long before the two destroyed each other. He lost a fortune, and it was to Lex himself.

‘Never going to do that again.’ Hermes remained himself. “Yes I believe that account is still in your name after all, I believe you maybe surprised by how much its worth in this day and age.”

Lex had a smirk. “I believe I may know.”

Hermes raised his feathered eyebrow but shock his head. Lex was a genius so it stood to reason he would figure out how much it was most likely worth. "Very well then come with me." The Griffin High King said. As the two walked away from the guard Lex turned to back to them for a moment.

"They seemed a bit underwhelming." Lex commented on how poorly the guards handled him.

"They are not combat ready the more well trained and experienced guards are out near the boards." Hermes answered the human.

"We also have our fleets out to deal with pirates seems that they are raiding our trade fleets." The Griffins were two things at there core, proud warriors and traders. Even before Hermes united the warring tribes they were known to explore thee world for trade and things of value. After the unification the Griffins started creating huge trade fleets by the time Lex was turned too stone.

A hour later Hermes had the account paper work for Lex in his talons. "I believe this is in order had for the GriffinStone vaults and they should take care of the rest." Lex looked over the paper work to make sure everything was in order.

"Thank you Hermes for your help." Lex said with a smile.

Celestia looked over her guards reports. A few of them said to have spotted a flying metal thing head for the Griffin empire. She could only guess why Lex was going there. 'Calm down Celestia, your being paranoid.' Over the last thousand years she developed a sense of paranoia. It sometimes has helped her but she was hopping to get over it.

'Perhaps I should talk to the Griffin ambassador? No she probably doesn't know. Hermes himself would be coming over in a week perhaps he knows?' Celestia debated.
