Okay, so this is my first fanfic ever so please take it easy on me. I would appreciate it if anyone informs me of any grammatical errors or mispelling. Now, I should warn ya that I will be doing some time skips throughout the timeline of the series a bit. Honestly, I might not be able to work with all of the episodes. I will be altering what occurs in some of the episodes that I feel like doing, just not all of them.
1. Prologue
Third P.O.V.
"Daddy, I'm going to school now," yelled a young filly as she ran out the door.
"Alright, and behave I don't want to hear about another incident like last time from Ms. Cherilee," Her father called to her.
Nick/Necros' P.O.V.
Hello! Yeah that was my daughter you just saw. Ya know the one with the dark purple mane, black coat, turqoise eyes. The strange part though is that I'm not a pony. If you're curious about what I am theeennn Iii can't really give you a good solid answer. Why? Because I lost my humanity the moment I came to Equestria... or rather Equis' MOON. Yeah, maybe I should start from the beginning so this makes sense to ya.
Comic-Con 500 years ago...give or take a few
"Okay, so we meet up here in two hours, got it?" That's my older brother Thomas. He decided to dress up as Ghost Rider from the sequel film after he gets blue flames in exchange for the old ones (don't ask me 'what color were they' because I didn't watch the movie). He was able to get everything except the motorcycle.
"Yeah, yeah, I got it." That would be my younger brother Jake. He came dressed up as Ash Williams from the Evil Dead series, missing the shotgun and signature "chainsaw hand."
Now I know you're wondering who I came as, right? Well you've never heard of him before because I came up with the idea. I came as Necros, a man who became the reluctant ruler of the dead after cultists had sown (I think thats the right word) into his skin... the pages from the Necronomicon! The famed book of legend from the Cthulhu Mythos! After surviving the ordeal, he chose to use his newfound powers to fight crime! Yeah, sounds awesome, right? But, of course, everything comes at a price... his was becoming hideously scarred and gaining immortality. This means that he can't die by any means and would be forced to watch others age and wither away while he would continue to live.
So we agreed that Thomas and I would pair up and go shopping. As we were looking around, we found a shop being run by a dude cosplaying as the Merchant from Resident Evil 4. What we saw would make any grown geek fangasm. We saw state of the art stuff from any series you could think of! There was a Teseract, a Predator's (or Yautja) plasma gun, Ash Williams' chainsaw, stuff I'd never seen before. What got me and my brother hooked though, was the Ghost Rider's motorcycle from the first film and *GASP* the ride I designed for my character! It was a Humvee styled like those in the military in black and dark grey armor plating with red headlights! Thomas and I agreed that we would do whatever it took to get those beauties.
Yeah, I know what your thinking, 'wait how does some random dude have a ride that fits your specific designs?' Well, I kinda already knew that this was no 'random dude' we were dealing with because I read stories (Displaced fanfiction) about how various people go missing because they buy stuff from this dude. Now, I know you're probably thinking that I was not making a smart choice, right? Then I guess I'm a part of what may be the most awesome (yet somewhat mixed up) club in the multiverse! So HAH!!! Besides that, I'm a brony, and its something of a dream to me to go to Equestria. Sure I might hit a few... bumps... but that is to be expected for people who get Displaced.
So we went to the Merchant as he said in that gravelled tone of his, "Ah, 'Ello Mr. Rider and... Umm... I don't quite recall meeting you before Mr...?"
"Necros, sir, Lord of the dead, Nightmare of evil, and Monster amongst monsters." I said with as dark a tone I could muster.
"Ah, well its good to meet you good sir, so what would you like to purchase?"
"We would like to buy the two vehicles, please."
"Good, that'll be $10,000."
My brother replied, "Welp, there goes our chances of buying anything else here."
"Maybe, but its well worth it," I said as I handed the Merchant. "Oh and if you see our brother, Ash Williams, could you send him our way please?"
"I suppose I can do that. He'll certainly want his things, of course."
"Thanks, man."
After those last words, I saw nothing but darkness. When I woke up, I thought I was looking at Earth, but then I remember that I've just been Displaced. Wait a minute, if I'm Displaced, then shouldn't I be in Equestria and not on the moon? But, if so then why do I hear someone crying? Hold on, wasn't Nightmare Moon banished to the, um, moon? I mean I'd probably be sad to if my siblings kicked me out of the house we share - I mean used to share (gonna take some time getting used to being Displaced). I decided 'what the heck, I'm gonna help her'. Before I got started looking for her I used my shapeshifting abilities(that's one Necros' powers) to remove my newly acquired scars. I kept my outfit (wait, I never described it... well it was a black leather jacket, dark grey t-shirt, blue jeans, fingerless gloves, and combat boots), grew back my brown hair and... oh, riiight.
I completely forgot about my eyes!
Thats the major flaw with my shapeshifting, it doesn't work on them. The irises are orange stars completely surrounded by black.
*Sigh*Well, gonna have to make do.
It was actually pretty easy finding Nightmare Moon. I didn't need to listen carefully or anything like because one of Necros' powers was Synesthesia (the ability to see soundwaves as waves of color). The waves were coming from one of the small craters nearby, but when I looked in I found something... unexpected. I SAW... an anthro Nightmare Moon curled up, sobbing into her knees. (A/N : Yeah, sorry 'bout the whole build up trick, it won't happen again, I promise.) She was dressed in the same battle armor as in the series, except it covered her body and upper legs.
Anyway, I slowly floated down to her (flying is one of my powers too) trying to appear -
"What do you want?"
Dang it.
"Um, how did you know I was here?"
"I could sense something inside you," she said.
I tried to come up with an intelligent response, "Oh."
I decided to land and sit down. So I did the first thing that came to my mind to help her and stroked her back in a comforting manner.
"What are you doing," asked the confused mare.
"I am trying to comfrot you," I said in a matter-of-fact manner.
"I can see that, but why? Surely, you have heard of my tale?"
Ah, yes the tale of Nightmare Moon, any brony worth his merchandise knows it.
"I have, yes." - To which her ears drop. - "But I always believed in second chances."
"But, I attempted to bring-"
"Eternal night, yes, but I feel that was just a mistake."
"No it wasn't a mistake!!! I tried to fulfill the wish of my other self and get other ponies to appreciate the night!!! And look where it got me!!!"
As soon as she finished, she start to bawl again so I hugged her and comforted her for what might have been hours. I didn't know because I didn't have a watch on me.
"*Sniff* Thank you," she said once she was done.
"Ya know what, how about we both get ice cream," I asked her.
"But Celestia will know that I'm gone."
"Well, then how about I go and get you something then? There's nothing really there to stop me," I pointed out.
"Well... alright," said a reluctant Nightmare Moon.
And thats how our relationship started. And no, I am not talking about a romantic sort of thing, I mean I became a father figure to her so get those ideas out of your head!
