Town Hall

"Well, here we are," I announced. I spent the time on the way explaining to Jake about how we got sent to Equestria and became Displaced. He got really concerned after I told him about how we were inside a tv show meant for little girls. Luckily, I was able to get him to calm down.

My brother asked, "Hey, maybe Celestia can send us back home?"

Uh oh. Gonna have to break the news to him. "Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think we should." To which I received a raised eyebrow. "Tell me Jake, have you ever heard of the multiverse theory? Well, its true. But it doesn't include Earth but all worlds, including this one."

"So, that means-"

"That the chances of us getting back are infinity to one. Anyway, we'd best head inside."

Eventually, the mayor came out, "fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!" To which all the ponies cheered. "In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now it is my great honor, to introduce to you, the ruler of our land, Princess Celestia!"

The curtains were pulled back and, as planned, no Sunbutt. As expected, this got everypony scared as they started to whisper. "Remain calm everypony, I'm certain that there's a reasonable explanation."

Pinkie called out, "ooh, ooh, I love guessing games! Is she hiding?"

"She's gone," cried Rarity.

"Ooh, she's gooood," Pinkie commented before screaming.

Ah, here comes the true mare of the hour. Blue smoke began rolling in before 'Nightmare Moon' teleported onto the stage.

"Ah, my beloved subjects. Its been so long since I've seen your pwecious, wittle, sun-wuving faces."

"What did you do with our princess," yelled Rainbow Dash before trying to strike my daughter. Emphasis the word 'trying'. She was stopped by Applejack holding onto her tail.

"Why? Am I not royal enough for you," Nyx questioned. "Don't you know who I am?"

"Ooh, ooh! More guessing games! Umm, Hokey Smokes! How about Queen Meanie? No, Black Snooty, Black Sno-mrph." Appledash stopped her by putting a cupcake in her mouth.

"Does my crown no longer count because I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?"

"I did," Twilight spoke out. "And I know who you are. You're the Mare in the Moon, Nightmare Moon!"

"Well, well, well. So somepony does remember me. Then you also know why I am here."

"Yes. You're here to bring about eternal night."

"Correct. And seeing as Celestia isn't here to stop me, then the night shall go on FOREVER! Hahahahahahahaa!"

She teleported away before anyone could get to her. "So, what do you think we should do," Jake asked me.

"Well, I'm gonna look around town. You should stick with Twilight." I left before I received an answer.

I ran to the nearest dark alley and shapeshifted into an eagle. I flew above the Everfree Forest looking for the rendezvous point that Nyx and I set up: the Castle of the Two Sisters. "So, didja set everything up the way it was meant to," I asked Nyx.

"Well, yes but..."

"But, what?"

"What if I don't make it?"

"Nyx, don't you dare say that. Don't you think about that for a second. I know that you'll make it because I'm your father." That got a good smile out of her. "Besides, even if you don't make it, I couldn't be any prouder of you."

"But, if you wanted me to do this, then why didn't you tell me to?"

"Because I wanted you to make that choice on your own. Now, the girls will be showing up any minute now, so we best get into position, okay?"

"Yes, Father."

I decided to pay Sunbutt a visit in the tower. "So, how do you feel about getting your sister back?"

"Honestly, I'm not sure what to think. How will I make up for all that time when I could have been a better sister?"

"Simple. You just do. You're her sister, Celestia. I'm pretty certain that she'll wanna make up with ya." Noticing that this didn't help, I decided to pull out the big guns. "How about this Celestia, if she doesn't want to make up with you, then I will eat one pair of dirty underpants for every day that passed since the one that you banished my daughter to the moon."

"Pfft Haahahahaha!"

Bull's eye.

"Well, seeing as you're so confident that this will happen, I will take you up on that little wager."

"Deal!" And at that we shoke hands. "Oh, and just so we're clear: no daipers." That got a good giggle out of her. Now, I know your asking yourselves 'why would he try to cheer her up if he doesn't like her.' Well, while I don't like Sunbutt, I hate the idea of seeing a girl/mare cry even more. What? I have a heart... somewhere.

"TWILIGHT!!!" Oh, here they are.

"And now Celestia, we wait." After a few minutes, we heard a loud explosion. "You go on ahead Celestia, I need to get ready for my entrance."

I decided to return to my true form with the leather jacket, combat boots, and dark camo pants. I also put my sunglasses in my pocket. Eventually, I heard Nyx call out for me. "Daddy!"

I used boulders to sound like footsteps. How, might you ask. I used Necros' power of telekinesis. Heh heh, superpowers are so much fun. *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*. I kept doing this until I reached of the throne room's entrance. Luckily, Jake and the girls didn't see me behind them, so I yelled, "SURPRIZE!"

"AAHHH!!"

"Ha ha ha ha haa! Oh, I gotcha gooood!"

"Daddy," Nyx yelled as she tackled me. She was still wearing her armor, but it shrunk down to fit her.

"Wait a minute, did you just say 'daddy'? Nnniiick, what is she talking about," Jake asked me.

"Nyx."

"Yes Daddy?"

I pointed to Jake and said, "ssaaayyyy 'uncle'!"

"Uncle," she cried as she leapt towards him. This time, Jake fell on impact. "Woah!"

Rarity was the first to speak out, "excuse me, sir, but did you call her 'Nyx'?"

"Why yes, yes I did."

"Mmhmm. And you wouldn't happen to know somepony by the name of 'Numbskull', would you?"

"Well of course I know him. He's me!"

"WHAT," cried the Mane Six.

"But Rarity said that Numbskull was a stallion," Rainbow pointed out.

"Well, I couldn't just waltz into town as a freak with all these scars on me, so I shapeshifted into the form of a stallion that resembled me. Plus, I wanted to see my little angel give the town a big performance. Oh, that reminds me. Hey Celestia, does Luna wanna make amends with ya?"

"Yes, she does. Thank you."

"Oh good, that means I don't have to uphold our bargain."

"Um, excuse me," asked Fluttershy. "What deal did you make with Celestia, if you don't mind me asking."

"Well, ya see, I made a bet with Celestia that if Luna didn't make up with her, then I would eat one pair of dirty underpants for every day that passed since the day that my daughter was banished to the moon." That made everypony laugh, even Fluttershy.

"So, now that we're done here, what now," Jake asked.

Oops. "I'll be honest with ya... I did not plan this far ahead."

"Um, excuse me, sir," Fluttershy said. "But I have enough room for you and Nyx to stay, if you want."

"I suppose that can work until we can get a place of our own. Nyx, what do you think?"

"I think that sounds very nice."

"Then, I guess that we'll take you up on that offer, Ms..."

"Oh, I'm Fluttershy."

"Well its very nice to meet you Fluttershy. I'm Nick."

"Well, its very nice to meet you Nick."

Jake asked, "Hang on, where am I sleeping?"

"Well, I have a couch you can sleep on," Twilight suggested.

"*Sigh* I guess that's better than nothing."

"Hey, do you know what this calls for everypony," Pinkie shouted. "A party!"

Here's my chance to show off. "Hey Celestia, do you mind if we take my ride back to town," I asked.

My brother cried out, "Celestia don-" "I suppose so."

"Yes," I said to myself in victory. I put two fingers to my mouth and whistled. When I was done we began hearing trees being crushed and something jingling as the living vehicle made his way towards us. And yes, my ride is a male.

I said as he arrived, "ladies, I want you to meet my friend, Deathtrap." Out of the plantlife came a giant tank.

"What the hay is that thing, its just a hunk of junk," Rainbow commented.

Deathtrap pointed his turret at Rainbow and growled using his engine. I didn't know if Deathtrap had any live rounds in him so I decided to talk him down from doing anything. "Deathtrap, no." Yeah, in the character profile for Deathtrap, I gave him a dog-like personality. Luckily he decided to listen to me. And now, to scold Rainbow for insulting him. "I'll have you know, Rainbow Dash, that the 'hunk of junk' is Deathtrap, and he does not like being talked about in such a manner."

"Oh, heh heh, oops," Rainbow laughed sheepishly.

"Now then, who wants to go to Ponyville in style?"

"Ooh, I do, I do," called out Pinkie.

"Those that do are to hop inside, those that don't can walk." After I said that, everypony's hands went up. As everypony went inside, Applejack asked, "just what does this big fella eat anyway?"

"Actually, Applejack, he eats meat and I know what you're thinking, but I trained him to not eat any animal that can talk like ponies."

"Well, Ah'm real glad to hear that Nick."

Eventually, everypony was strapped in (had to show all of them how seatbelts are used) and we were on our way. When we arrived, everypony was either shocked or scared. After we made it to the center of town, everypony started to cheer when Celestia came out, next came Luna, and then the Mane Six. "Daddy, can I go outside," Nyx asked.

"Sorry Nyx, but not yet. First, we need to get you a disguise to avoid causing any trouble."

"Oh, okay."

I went over to Rarity, "Hey, Rarity, I've been told that you're in the fashion business and I was wondering if I could ask for a favor."

"Why, darling, all you needed to do was ask. We're friends, remember?"

"Yeah, I'm just not used to having so many. Anyway, I was hoping that you would be able to make some clothes for Nyx and-"

"Say no more darling, I accept!"

The party lasted until night rolled in. Nyx and I went to Fluttershy's cottage. Luckily, all of her animals were asleep so we recieved no trouble. Turns out that I had to sleep on the couch. Actually, it was pretty comfortable. So, I doozed off.

...
...
...

"Daddy?"

"Hmm? Oh, hey Nyx. Is something wrong?"

"I... I had a bad dream."

"Oh, what was it about?"

"Well, in the dream. You abandoned me and I was stuck on the moon again. You wouldn't do that, would you Daddy?"

"Sweetheart, I would never do anything like that. Okay?"

"Okay. Umm, Daddy?"

"Yeah."

"Is it okay if I sleep with you tonight?"

"Sure thing sweetheart, come 'ere."

And that was my first day in Equestria. Now don't go thinking that I'm done talking 'cause that was just my first adventure in Equestria. I ain't done with ya because now I'm gonna tell you about my next adventure. Heh heh.

Author's Note

Yeah I just realized that I never gave Nick a power set to rely on for the readers (and if you say that he's overpowered, well that's because he will be fighting powerful characters, namely those from Marvel or those that are Displaced) so here it goes

He has telekinesis
He can shapeshift (doesn't work on his eyes)
He can sprout black tentacles from anywhere on his body and use them for various things (namely used for lockpicking and as whip-like weapons)
He can fly
He can use necromancy to communicate with the dead and control dead matter
He can summon creatures from the Cthulhu Mythos
He has an instinctive knowledge of when he is lied to
Can use Rift Spheres (balls of psionic energy that have a strong gravitational pull)

The Eyes of Azathoth lets him:
See soundwaves as color (Synesthesia)
See through all illusions
Read any language
Show Truth to others (works via eye contact) (WARNING: Can cause things ranging from fear and uncomforting paranoia to insanity based on strength of mind and what is shown, user will also see what is shown to victim/viewer)

Y'Golonac mouth (located on the palms of his hands):
Its scream is so powerful it can cause most solid objects to shatter
Its bite creates a wound that will never heal and will bleed for eternity

Now I've read a bit about this unique ability called Understanding and wanted to do something similar but make it a bit darker, so I invented Truth, something of an opposite to Understanding.

So there you have it. That's all of Nick's special powers. So, I'll see you around. Later!
