This story is about a young man of 20 years of age, this young man's name is… Albert.

Albert was going to a convention as his favorite anime character type… A ghoul. He was 7ft tall with a small muscular build. His kagune was supposed to be eight spider like tentacles. He had four on each side of his back each placed in the opposite sides. He was wearing a spider like mask with one eye missing, so he could be a little like kaneki from the anime. Albert was just walking to the conversation when a strange man in a blue coat approached him.

“Hello sir, I see you're heading to a convention but I would like to make you an offer. You see, a ‘friend’ of mine is in need of someone like him. and I would like to offer you the chance to join him.” The strange man said.

“Doing what…?” Albert asked him.

“Well, now that would depend on what you want to do once you get there.” The strange man replied.

“Ok, just send me to Equus.” Albert smirked.

“Interesting, how did you guess?” The strange man asked.

“Well… I'm a lot like Pinkie, however I'm also like Twilight. But most of all… displaced are stories here… Mr. Crux.” Albert said matter of factly.

“Darn Deadpool alternates…” Crux said facepalming.

“Hey man, don't worry, I won't tell anyone... pony.” Albert said. “Buy the way, do you know Jackson?”

“Jackson? No I don't think I know anyone by that name.” Crux replied.

“Really? Huh I could've sworn he talked about you before.” Albert said thinking aloud.

“You better not be making a time paradox.” Crux said before handing Albert a letter and disappearing.

“OK… wonder what this is about?” Albert said pulling out the letter and a blue contacts lense.

Hello there,

If you are reading this you have been chosen to be sent to another land where your actions will either help or destroy those you find there.

Good luck!

“OK then… wait seeing as I'm cosplaying as a ghoul right know, doesn't that mean I'll become a ghoul? What am I supposed to eat if I accept? “ Albert said scratching his head. He looked to the blue lense as a thought occurred to him. “Wait! I heard a rumor about a ghoul coming in the anime with a blue eye. He or she is supposed to be able to eat human food… I wonder?” He said as he put the lense in the uncovered eye.

After Albert put the lense in his eye he felt a major pain in his body. He collapsed as the tentacles on his back dug into him and began moving. He pulled out his phone and looked at his reflection in it and noticed that the eye he put the lense in was now exactly like a ghouls. However along with being a different color, he ate some of his cheeseburger and didn't cringe. “Looks like I was right.” He said collapsing as his brand new kagune wrapped around him and disintegrated, not leaving a single trace of what happened and not a trace of the former human.

Albert woke up in an open area, he looked around to see nothing but grass, and rocks, Albert stood up and tried to find his bearings. “Great! Crux could have made me appear somewhere with other life.” Albert said sarcastically as a sharp pain hit his back. Albert tried to stand up once more, but as he did the ground he was standing on gave way and he fell. Albert fell faster and faster as his brain scrambled to proceed what was going on. He noticed a branch coming up, he fought through the pain as he summoned his kagune and grabbed it. He flung himself to the top of the mountain to find himself in Griffinstone.

“Halt! Who goes there!” Came a squawk from a nearby griffin, having heard the thump from Albert’s landing.

“Please I mean you no harm, I just need help. My name is Albert.” He said shakily.

“Help yourself creature.” The griffon scowled before walking off.

“Hey! Dweeb!” Another voice sounded.

“Hey, it's not nice to call strangers names.” a pink mare quipped before materializing in Albert's face, “HI, I’m pinkie pie what's your name?”

“I'm Albert, do you have anything to wear or drink?” He pleaded.

“We have scones, but why do you need cloths? you already have some!” Pinkie said.

“Sorry, I just fell off of the very top of the mountain I'm kinda shaken up. I meant eat.” He said trying to stand.

“here ya go!” Pinkie said before stuffing a scone into Albert's mouth.

“Hey… this is good!” He said happily. “Um… sorry to bother you so much, but you wouldn't happen to have a drink called mountain dew would you?” He asked.

“Here Dweeb.” Gilda said handing him a cup. “It's not ‘mountain dew’ whatever that is, but its water.” She said as he gulped it down.

“Thank you.” He said as the realization of who he was talking to hit him. He wanted to fanboy but decided against it. “So you two helped me, anything I can help you with?” Albert asked hopefully he always made sure to repay his debts.

“Well~ I guess we should go rescue rainbow about now.” Pinkie said putting a hand to her chin.

“Oh… you know about the fourth wall I take it?” Albert said walking towards the gorge.

“Fourth wall? What are you two talking about?” Asked Gilda.

“Nothing~” They sing songed in unison before running to help Dash. The trio arrived at the edge of the gorge to see Dash sitting on a ledge.

“Can anyone hear me? HELP!” Rainbow cried.

“Of course we can hear you ya silly filly. We have ears ya know.” Albert said trying not to laugh, unlike pinkie who was on the ground.

“Wha-who are you!” Dash shouted.

“My names Albert, and I'm here to help save you.” He said as Pinkie and Gilda tied ropes around themselves, and proceeded to climb down the cliff. The rope that was tied around a rock began snap and break. Albert jumped and grabbed the rope just as they were all about to fall.

“Guys… hurry i'm slipping!” He shouted.

“Then I guess I got here just in time.” Came a voice from behind albert before grabbing him and stopping him from slipping.

Albert turned around to see a Ghoul whose Kagune covered his entire body making him look like a Knight with dark grey armor with a blue visor over his eyes. “Who are you?” Albert asked the ghoul.

“You can call me Phantom Knight, or Phantom for short. Now let's get you and your friends away from this cliff.” Phantom said before starting to pull Albert and the ponies at the end of the rope up.

After Albert, Dash, pinkie, and Gilda were away from the cliff they all turned to phantom. “Thanks for the help phantom.” Albert said extending a hand.

Phantom ignored Albert's hand and bowed to him. “I will talk with you when you and your friends are less occupied.” He said before turning to walk away.

“Well… that was rude, but I guess he has stuff to do.” Albert said shrugging before turning to Dash. “Now time for a proper introduction. My name is Albert, and you are?” as if I didn't already know.

“Woah, First off. How do you know the Phantom Knight!? And my name is Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer in equestria!” Rainbow said before turning and glaring at Albert.

“I don't know him, I just asked him his name when he saved us from falling. also, how do you know him?” Albert asked.

“He is the most famous vigilante in all of equestria! How could I NOT know who he is!?” Rainbow shouted.

“Well excuse me! I just got here and I don't know anything about this dimension! “ Albert shouted before covering his mouth quickly. “Oops.”

“What did you say?” Gilda asked.

“He said he isn't from this world silly!” Pinkie said causing the pegasus and grifon to stare at Albert in shock.

“Hehehe… it's true.” Albert said with a silly grin.

“AWESOME! AN ALIEN!” Rainbow said while Gilda just shook her head in agreement.

“Would that make Max an alien, because he looks alot like albert don't you think?” Pinkie said scratching her chin and causing Rainbow to do a double take.

“Well, that depends… who is max, also is he ghoul?” Albert asked

“Whats a ghoul? And max is a friend that comes to visit Ponyville on occasion.” Rainbow replied.

“Oh, OK then that means I'm not the only displaced here… cool, also a ghoul is a pony, griffon or anything that has pure red eyes, and can make a thing called a kagune. Kagune are all different for each ghoul, ghouls are usually known as cannibals.” Albert replied.

The two ponies and griffin paled at Albert's response. “And you know about these ghouls how?” Rainbow said.

“Because, the planet I come from created them as fictional characters in a television show called Tokyo ghoul, however not all ghouls are cannibals.” Albert said smiling. “Ghouls can't really eat normal foods. However there is a type of ghoul that can, it's called a blue eyed ghoul. Also some ghouls only have one red or blue eye.” He said.

The ponies and griffin then noticed Albers one blue eye and lost it. “AGH! GHOUL!” They screamed before running.

“... Really?” Albert said facepalming and walking after them. He found them in town trying to hide. “You know you should let me Finish explaining before hurting my feelings, I'm not going to hurt you if I was why would I help you?” He said.

“And why would a vigilante help a monster anyway?” Came Phantom's voice from behind the ponies and griffon.

“Besides Phantoms a ghoul too, how do you explain his abilities?” Albert said bitterly.

“Wha?” The three of them said in confusion before Phantom appeared and grabbed Albert.

“We need to talk.” Phantom said as he dragged Albert away before stopping in a nearby alleyway that was far enough away to be out of earshot from anyone.

“What's up?” Albert asked.

“Don't reveal my secrets, and tell them nothing more about ghouls. Or do you want a Anti Ghoul organization to be created and sent after us!?” Phantom said while slamming Albert into a wall.

“Ow! OK, ok I get it. I was just trying to answer some of their questions. “ Albert said getting up. “Besides how was I supposed to know they didn't know about ghouls after Dash said your well known!”

“Yes, because of my reputation for helping people and disappearing afterwards. Other than that the equestrians know nothing of me. As to why I'm here, it's to keep you from killing yourself on your first day here!” Phantom said sternly before releasing Albert.

“OK I gotcha… I just realized I don't have my mask on.” Albert said looking around. “Now that I think about it, did you see me with it before?” He asked.

“No I have not seen your mask. But then again, I don't wear one so I wouldn't notice if you did.” Phantom replied while scratching the back of his helmet.

“Ok then… I know I got displaced with it. It probably fell off when I fell off of the mountain.” Albert said aloud.

“If your mask fell off the mountain you may want to get a new one, you will never find it down there even if you wanted to.” Phantom said absentmindedly.

“True, but there's still the possibility that it fell off when I was walking, or when I landed at the entrance, or when I jumped to catch the rope.” Albert said sighing.

“If you had been wearing your mask at any of the times you were around the ponies or griffons, from what I know about other ghouls masks tend to be like, they would have run from you just from seeing your mask.” Phantom sighed.

“Right… damn it all… maybe I can find someone to make me a new one… anyways, what do we do now?” Albert asked uncertainly.

“you go and try and fix your mistake. I will not spend all of my time foalsitting you for the rest of your days.” Phantom said before saluting and turning invisible.

“Latter max.” Albert said walking away. He exited the alleyway and found the trio looking at him with uncertainty except Pinkie. “Sup.”

“You said the blue eyed ones don't eat ponies, right?” Rainbow asked nervously.

“Eeyup… I'm pretty sure they can't.” Albert said. “They weren't really in the anime yet, but I promise I won't hurt anypony for food, cross my heart hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye.” He said smirking at the looks on their faces.

“oh~ He’s good~” Pinkie said.

“Thank you miss pie. and before you ask Dash, no, I'm not a spy. my world is linked to a version of this world, in the form of a TV show called my little ponies friendship is magic.” Albert said. “And I will not tell you anything about it.”

Dash and Gilda looked at each other before looking back at him. “So how did a dweeb like you end up here?” Gilda asked.

“A man named Crux sent me here, he said a ‘friend’ of his needed help. I guess he mentioned phantom.” Albert explained.

“So you were sent to help Phantom? Why? And tell me how I can get his autograph!” Rainbow said fangirling.

“I think I was sent here to help Phantom, I don't know why, and some pony has a crush~” He sung making her blush slightly.

“W-what… I do not!” Rainbow stuttered as the blush on her face grew.

“You suck at lying, the blush says it all.” Albert said as Pinkie and Gilda laughed making her blush more. “Well… that and the pause when you said no.”

“S-shut u-up!” Rainbow said before punching Albert in the face.

Albert took the punch before a *crack* was heard. “MY NOSE! YOU BROKE MY NOSE!” He yelled trying to stop the blood, startling Dash and the others.

“Oh crap! I’m so sorry! I didn't think I would break your nose!” Dash said scrambling to figure out what to do as Pinkie handed Albert a tissue.

Albert took the tissue and put it up against his nose before laughing maniacally. “Hahah!”

“Why are you laughing? Dash just broke your nose!” Gilda asked.

Albert looked at them with a huge smile. “Sorry… I'm just messing with you!” He said snapping his nose back in place. “Ghouls have extraordinary healing abilities, that was nothing compared to what some ghouls go through.” He said trying to breath.

They just stared at him dumbstruck until gilda and Rainbow broke the silence. “Cool~!” They said before grinning like they just met someone famous.

“Yeah… but it doesn't stop the pain, that was real!” He said glaring at Dash.

“Heh, sorry~” Dash said scratching the back of her head.

“Anyway… this has been fun but i'm going to go to ponyville now, I need to go

somewhere that I know.” Albert said as he began walking away only to be stopped by Pinkie.

“Wait! We still have to finish our quest!” Pinkie said.

“Well seeing as it was you and dash whose butts were vibrating to come here, i'm not really needed. However… I don't know how to get to ponyville.” Albert said pouting.

“How do you expect to get to ponyville without them then?” Gilda asked.

“I wasnt done talking!” Albert yelled. “Anyways I guess I’ll help is what I was going to say.” Albert said glaring at Gilda. “So… How can I help?” He asked.

“Well, you could start with helping advertize my scones,” Gilda said. “after all, I can't think of any other way to bring the griffons together other than good food.” She added while shrugging.

“Ok, but don't criticise my methods.” Albert said grabbing a scone and getting a griffons

attention. “Hey buddy!”

“What do you want!” The griffon said as Albert chucked the scone into his beak. “Hey!... This is good, can I get some more?”

“Sure, and don't forget to tell your friends!” Gilda said as she gave him some scones.

Albert kept chucking scones into a bunch of griffons mouths until Gilda had no more scones to sell. “Sorry… I used up all of your scones.”

“That's ok, I have plenty of future customers now and the griffon community is starting to get more friendly with one another. So thanks, dweeb.” Gilda said before Pinkie and Rainbow's Cutie Marks began to glow and vibrate.

“Well… I guess that's it for this quest.” Albert said smiling. “And please stop calling me a dweeb friends don't call eachother names.”

“Whatever dweeb~” Gilda teased before flying away.

“Damn chicken.” Albert said silently. “Anyway let's go to ponyville, i've had one hell of a day and I could use some relaxation.”
