''Greetings great sage'' said the Merchant 'Hello' said X as he looked at the strange vendor.He looked like the Merchant from Resident Evil 4.He had a props from a lot of anime,even comics like the sharigan,dragon balls.Mjolnir,pokeballs etc. '''Are you by chance the Merchant of Equestria'' said X as he had heard the rumours of someone dressed like that who sends people to a version of equestria with the powers of their cosplay and what props they buy ''You got me.Yes I am the Merchant.Not many people recognise me from the fly.I am impressed''said the Merchant. ''So what are you going to do run away cause that won`t help against me''said the Merchant in a rather threahning tone. ''No I want to be displaced preferably anthro equis please before Nightmare Moon.''said X. ''Well I am suprised not many people want to be willingly displaced.So whats your story ,lost parents,shitty life.''said the Merchant. ''Neither I am not an orphan and i have a normal life.''said X ''So why do you want to leave this world.''said the Merchant. ''Boredom.This world is boring.Besides there is no future for me in his world.I don`t have any passion in the real world and i suck at the exams.I won`t even be able to find a decent job even if i do there won`t be any passion in it.I don`t want to have my will crushed by society.''said X. ''Great one of these guys.''said the Merchant. ''So what do you want to buy'' said the Merchant. ''Well i only want my armour to have these powers and want rimuru tempest absorption,retrocognition and the power to adapt to other power system and the power to recreate things from memories.'' said X while handing the merchant a piece of paper. ''You don`t want any props.I can`t displace you without selling you something.''said the Merchant. ''In that case,do you have a magical grimoire of the forbidden variety preferably and weapon that can change forms.''said X. ''You sure that`s all.Don`t you want the all-black,discords paw,the rebellion you can have so much more,''said the Merchant. ''Ok the all-black will corrupt me so no.I haven`t been a fan of DMC.The only thing i really want is Maxwells notebook and i am pretty sure you won`t let me have.Its too op.''said X ''Well you are right its only of the forbidden item.It holds too much power.''said the Merchant. ''Let me guess,the infinity gauntlet,heart of the universe are on it too.''said X ''Well yes and no.i am not that powerful to have the heart of the universe kid.''said the Merchant. ''Why do you only want these powers any specific reason?.''questioned the Merchant. ''Well i want to start as weak.I don`t want to start as overpowered have read these fanfics it gets pretty dull later on.I have to be on a journey and get stronger,progress and discover new things.'' said X ''Well that`s interesting, you are the only human who wants to start as weak.Do you want a phone kid?This one will be free of charge.''said the Merchant. ''Thanks will it have the internet and how will it charge with magic or will it have unlimited battery.''said X ''Yes it will have the internet thought it will updated according to your world.''said the Merchant. ''What would you have done if i wasn`t the Merchant kid.''asked the Merchant. ''Well i would have just continued with the convention and then commit sucide at the end of the day.I am too scared to face the future.I know thats a cowardly thing to do but i don`t have the courage to face the future.''said X ''Damn you must be really lucky that you met me.''said the Merchant. ''Well yes.'' said X ''So before going do you want to do anything.'' said the Merchant. '']Well let me write a sucide note first to my parents.Can`t have them worried about me when i am gone.'' said X while he was typing something in his phone. ''Sure.'' said the Merchant. ''And done.'' said X ''Now give me the money and take your props.'' said the Merchant. ''Here and thanks again.'' said X as he pulled out 500 bucks. ''Wow thats generous i haven`t gotten that much money from just these 2 items before.''said the Merchant. ''Well i am going to be isekaied away so money is useless to me to me now so you can have it.'' said X ''Well here is your items.'' said the Merchant as he handed as old book and a black orb. ''So does the orb work on thought or does it have a fixed number of forms it can take.'' said X ''Well no it can take any form you imagine.'' said the Merchant. ''Ok then.'' said X ''So when are going to displace me.'' said X ''Now.'' said the Merchant. ''Wait now.'' said X and he fell through a portal. Fuckkkk Thousands of years later ''Its finally time.'' exclaimed X. Thousands of years earlier Alpha as he now called himself had been sealed by the royal sisters.Fortunately the elements hadn`t been used on him instead he was sealed within an amulet.The seal was initially powered by the elements but after celestia banished luna, celestia had been using her own magic to power the seal.Now that celestia is out of commission for a while the seal was starting to break . ''I am finally free.'' said Alpha as he got out of the amulet. ''Well now time to get out before i get spotted, i am currently to weak to fight the royal guards.'' said Alpha. ''This is going to be straining but i have got to do this.'' said Alpha as he was using Aura Sense to sense all the guards in the castle. ''So 10 unicorns in the proximity, looks like Shining Armour is near too.15 Pegasus in the roof and patrolling the air Oh shit.'' said Alpha as he was getting the backlash of using aura sense in his current state. ''Well i can`t go to the roof, too weak to use teleportation and fight the nearby unicorns.What to do?'' thought Alpha. ''Oh i have got an idea.'' said Alpha ''First things off its time to go stealth mode.'' said Alpha as he cast an invisibility spell onto himself. ''Well to the dungeons.''said Alpha. After 10 Minutes he finally got to the dungeons. ''its show time.'' said Alpha as he used magic to open the iron bars. ''Who opened the locks.'' said a prisoner. ''Who cares, we can get out now.'' said Alpha who was still invisible. ''Lets escape.'' said another prisoner. ''Yeah.'' exclaimed all the prisoners in unison. ''Step 1 complete.'' said Alpha. ''Now for step 2.'' said Alpha as he got out of the dungeons and was going to Shining Armour. ''Time to see if i can still pull it out.'' said Alpha as he was starting to shapeshift. He gained to ability of shapeshifting long time ago by absrobing a changeling coprse. The form he now had was that of a unicorn with red mane and an explosion cutie mark. ''Captain Shining Armour, the prisoners have escaped.'' said the disguised Alpha. ''What how.'' said Shining Armour. ''First Princess Celestia disappearance now this. This day just keeps getting worse.'' mutured Shining Armour. ''Alright everyone its a 2 level alert.'' said Shining Armour as he set off the alerts. ''So Celly used of my designs after all.'' thought Alpha. as he got out of the room and casted an invisibility spell again. ''Where did he go?.'' said Shining Armour. ''Its time to get out.'' said X as he took advantage of the commotion to get out of the castle. ''That was easy, they didn`t use detect spells.Should have just went invisible and get out.'' said Alpha. ''Time to set course to Pony Town.'' said Alpha > Old Acquaintance > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Hump Hump You know they never tell you how far is Pony Ville is from Canterlot in the show I have been walking for hours and still no sign of it.'' Alpha monologued as he was walking to Pony Ville in disguise.He had the same form that he used in Canterlot. ''Fucking Finally.'' he said as he saw the town. ''Well enough time should have passed for nightmare moon to have been defeated at least i hope so.'' he muttured. ''Well time to the castle ASAP i don`t want to meet the pink menace.'' he said as he made himself invisible. ''That should last for at least an hour.'' he said. Meanwhile in the library ''My Pinkie Sense is tingling there is a new pony in town i have to meet him.'' said Pinkie Pie in a excited voice. ''Why do i have a bad feeling OH FUCK.'' he said after seeing the pink menance. ''Where are you? Oh are we playing hide and seek.I love playing it i will find YOU'' she said. ''Well no time to lose.'' he said as he was gathering the KI in his body. ''Flash Step.'' as soon as he said it he was going at speed even rainbow dash would be jealous about and crashed in a tree in the everfree. ''At least i am where i want to be.I can already feel the chaos here refiling my power'' he said. ''Time to go to the castle.'' he said as he was using a flight spell to look for the castle. ''There it is.'' he said as he saw it to his east. ''Celly and Lulu shouldn`t be able to trace my magic here so time use that.'' he said. ''Turn Ethereal.'' he said as his whole body turned non-corporeal. ''This should protect me from about anything in this forest.don`t want to waste too much power.I have an important task to do.'' he said. After several minutes of travel he finally arrived at the castle. ''Finally.Time to get to work where is it.''he said as he was looking for something. ''Found it.'' he said as he found what he was looking for Nightmare Moon remnants. ''Time to get to work then.'' he said as he focused his KI and Mana to gather the remnants of Nightmare Moon and trying to revive her.Slowly but surely the remnants were forming a humanoid silhouette and she was coming back. ''NOnooo.''Nightmare Moon said as the last thing she remembered was being blasted by the elements of harmony. ''What how i am still alive.Did I win?.'' she asked being confused. ''What is up with my cloth why are they so lewd?.'' she asked blushing in embarrassment. ''So you can speak in modern equestrian also you look so cute when blushing'' he said. ''You how you were supposed to be sealed.''she asked in a dark tone. ''So were you.'' he replied. ''My case is different i was sealed by the elements.How did you get out your seal was powered by the elements OH.'' she said as her eyes widen in realisation of his escape. ''Yup thanks to you i am free.'' he said. ''I am not letting you roam free in equestria again.'' she said as she was preparing to fight. ''I would n`t do that if i was you you have just being revived your power is currently very low and besides i don`t want to fight.'' he said. ''Why i was one of the one who sealed you away.How could you not want to fight me?.'' she asked. ''I think your thousand years of banishment is more than enough of a retribution for me.'' he said. ''So what do you want to do with me.I doubt you revived me out of the goodness of your heart.'' she said. ''I want you to join me.'' he said. ''What.'' she said. ''Why would i want to join me?.'' she replied. ''Well for one if you don`t you will probably still stick to your dumb plan of eternal night.'' he said. ''My plan is not stupid.I will get the respect i deserve. Celestia will pay for what she did to me.''she said. ''Well for one bringing eternal night would cause the the plans to not grow well and eventually freeze the world resulting in the death of your beloved ponies.'' he said ''Besides if you wanted respect you should have brought in eternal day.You only truly appreciate things once they are gone.The ponies would have begged you to grace you with your night after not being able to sleep well and suffering from severe sun burn.'' he said. Nightmare Moon was dumbfounded after hearing the holes in her plan and seeing a better plan she could have used. ''Celestia suffured just as much as you.'' he said. ''How.'' she asked. ''Its show time.'' he said as he used illusion magic to show nightmare moon the song. ''No you are lying.You could n`t were sealed during that time'' she said with tears in her eyes from the eyes. ''Being sealed does n`t mean i can`t sense the world around.You have a wonderful voice yourself. I will not be overshadowed.Mine is not the lesser light.'' he said. ''You heard that.'' she said. ''Yes i would that 8/10 personally.'' he said. ''Everyday for a thousand years she was suffering from the guilt and regret of banishing your.There wasn`t a day that she ddidn`t think about you.'' he said. ''No No NO this can`t be true.'' she said breaking down in tears. ''It is true.Here have tissues.'' he said as he conjured them. ''Thanks.'' she said as she was wiping out her tears. ''So what now.I can`t return to celestia after what i done.I nearly killed her and risked killing my subjects.''she said. ''Well you don`t need to return you and luna are seperate beings now.'' he said. ''What.'' she said dumbfounded. ''Yeah the elements seperated you from luna.I just gathered up the fragments and gave you a body.Besides you know that the elemts can`t kill people right.''he said. ''What am I then.If i am not luna.'' she asked being confused. ''You are you no need to be confused about it.''he said. ''I still haven`t decided to go to you.I need some time to think.''she said trying to process the information. ''Ok but do you really want to go back to canterlot.You have to deal with the nobles again and let me tell you the current nobles make you wish to deal with the old ones and you will have to deal with paperwork and worst of all POLITICS.'' he said. ''Ok then its decided i want to come with you.'' she said. ''I don`t want to deal with nobles again sorry sis but they are far too annoying." she muttered. '''OK.'' he said. "Harem member obtained.'' he thought happily.
