//-------------------------------------------------------// Arachno Ghoul -by shadowshild612- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// prologue 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.” To be continued //-------------------------------------------------------// Arriving in town //-------------------------------------------------------// Arriving in town Albert, Dash, and Pinkie were all on the train on their way back to ponyville. Albert was starting out the window wondering how things would go one they arrived. He let out a sigh “I wonder if everything will be alright?” He said not noticing Pinkie was sitting behind him. “Don't know, But once we get there I’m throwing you a ‘WELCOME TO PONYVILLE’ party!” Pinkie said startling Albert. “Thanks… I guess, but why?” Albert asked staring at her. “Because you're going to be staying in ponyville now silly!” Pinkie said as she bopped Albert on the nose. Albert's nose scrunched up. “ow. You do remember that Dash broke my nose right?” He said rubbing his nose while bopping her muzzle. “Hehe, sorry I thought it would have healed by now!” Pinkie said before bouncing away. “Cute girl.” Albert said looking back out the window not realizing that Dash heard his comment. Dash smirked as she snuck up to Albert before whispering in his ear, “Who’s cute?” she said making Albert literally jump out of his seat. Albert regained his composure before turning to Dash with a glare. “You know I could have just killed you if my kagune had sprouted right? I can't control it yet, also… Pinkie is cute.” He said to her. Dash scrunched her nose at his warning but got a devious smirk when he finished. “Oh really~?” She purred. “Yup, also I know what you're thinking.” He said to her. “Oh really~?” Rainbow said before reaching for her forehead and pulling down like a zipper. “Then what do you think I’m thinking?” Pinkie said discarding her Rainbow Dash disguise. “That I'm kind of cute two… in my own way.” He said smirking. “Nice guess, but you're wrong!” Pinkie said before smashing a cream pie in Albert's face and zipping away as the real Rainbow Dash entered the train carriage Albert was in from the dining carriage. “What did I miss?” Rainbow said noticing the pie on Albert's face. “Pinkie smashed a pie in my face after I called her cute.” Albert said wiping away the pie. Rainbow burst out laughing from hearing what he said. “Seriously!? Wow, that's hilarious!” She said before falling over from laughter. “You keep laughing and I'll tell Twilight about your crush on Phantom.” Albert threatened. “We both know she can't keep secrets.” Rainbow immediately shut up and sent a glare at Albert before moving and sitting in the seat farthest from him and refusing to talk for the rest of the ride to ponyville. Albert got up and walked over to Pinkie who was playing with something in a bag. “What are you doing?” He asked her. “Oh nothing, Just something I made for you so you don't get identified when using your powers. after all it would be sad if you had to leave town because people knew about your abilities!” Pinkie said. “You… made me something? No one's ever given me a gift before.” He said thinking out loud as he examine the new mask. It was blue with a black line going state down the middle, the mask itself looked like a spider's face, the left side had multiple octagons representing a spider's eyes; and had spider like pincers where the mouth is. But the most interesting part of the mask was that the left eye had a blue plastic visor over it so no one would see the color of his eye. “Pinkie… this, this is amazing! Thank you.” He said hugging her making her blush for some reason. “Y-your welcome Alby.” Pinkie said after regaining her composure. “Alby? We just meat and you already gave me a nickname?” Albert said releasing her from the hug and smirking. Pinkie crunched up her muzzle as she looked away. “Yeah?” she said. “Well isn't this just precious~” came a male voice from behind Albert causing Pinkie to blush more. Albert and Pinkie looked behind him to see a creature with a lion's paw, an eagle's claw, the body of a snake, and one goat's foot with a dragon's foot. The lord of chaos Discord had arrived. “Well… if it isn't Discord himself!” Albert said grinning. “What bring you here?” “I wanted to meet our new world traveler. So why don't we talk about you a bit and decide your future career opportunities?” Dischord said. “Well… I was just going to get a job and try to get control over my abilities. Then I was going to help others like Phantom.” Albert explained. “Well, if you want a job that can help you train your abilities why don't you help Phantom with his work? or you could join the power ponies. I recommend the second option.” Discord said cringing. “I meant a job to get money, I'm trying to pay for rent wherever I end up staying. Plus if I don't have control over my powers I'll do more harm than good.” Albert said scratching his head. “Well, the power ponies are payed by whatever city they are stationed in. And they may be able to help you control your powers.” Discord said. “Oh look at the time, I’m going to be late for tea with Fluttershy! Ta ta!” He said before vanishing in a cotton candy explosion with chocolate rain. “hmm no whipped cream? Oh well, I might actually ask the power ponies if they can help me. But I'm not the type to stay in the city, well I'll stay in ponyville for a while and if I run into the ponies I'll ask.” Albert thought out loud not realizing that he still was slightly hugging pinkie. “Why don't you ask the ponyville branch of the power ponies if you could join them?” Pinkie asked as she pried herself from Alberts grip. “Oh sorry I didn't realize I was still hugging you.” Albert said blushing. “And that's a good idea, I hope none of them now what a ghoul is.” “I doubt they do. Oh look, we're here!” Pinkie said as the train pulled into ponyville station. “Yeah… and there's the other elements…hold on.” Albert said going over to Dash, in a minute the two of them went back to pinkie. “Ok listen, I know that you want to tell your friends about your trip, but i'm begging you; DON'T tell twilight that i'm a ghoul.” He said begging. “Why not?” Pinkie asked tilting her head. “Wow… That is adorable!” Albert thought out loud causing Pinkie to blush and dash to snicker. “And don't tell her because she's Celestia's star student, if Celestia knows about ghouls and seeing as she's the princess of Equestria she must; then Twilight will know. If she finds out I'm a ghoul I'll be strapped to a table and experimented on. Either that or she'll tell the Princess and I'll be thrown in the dungeon for no reason!” “I see your point… Ok then.” Rainbow said before both she and Pinkie recited the Pinkie promise to not reveal anything about Albert’s secret. “Thank you… well time for them to start asking questions.” Albert said walking and grabbing Pinkies and dashes stuff. “I`ll carry these for you two.” He said with a smile as he opened the door for the two mares. “Thank Alby.” Pinkie said smiling as she exited the carriage. “She already gave you a nickname?” Dash asked Albert. “Yeah and she made me a mask in order for no pony to find out my secret when I use my new powers.” Albert said quizzically. “Maybe she like you~” Dash said laughing and running out the carriage. Albert just stood there dumfounded at the suggestion. Albert exited the carriage and waited as the elements, and Discord talked. Strange I didn't see Discord with them before? Albert thought as he waited for them to notice him. “Oh! Girls there's someone I want you to meet.” Pinkie said smiling. “Our new friend Albert. Hey Alby come out!” She shouted. Albert exited the train and smiled at the elements he hasn't officially met yet. “Lady's.” He said bowing. “My name is Albert, and its an honor to meet you.” Albert said. “Well hello there, aren't you the gentlecolt.” Rarity said. “My name is Rarity.” “Well I try to be as well mannered around ladies as possible, except if there being a… ‘Big meanie’ as Pinkie would say .” Albert said. “It's a pleasure miss rarity.” “Its nice to meet yall, ah'm Applejack.” Applejack said. “I-I’m Fluttershy…” Fluttershy whispered. “Hello Applejack, and hello miss Fluttershy. I could barely hear you.” Albert said with a kind smile. “And you?” He said looking to Twilight. “My name is Twilight sparkle, and I know you're surprised to be talking to a Princess but please you don't need to be.” Twilight said. “I'm not surprised. Back home I was in a war and i spoke to rulers quite often so I’m used to it miss Twilight.” Albert said surprising them. “That's quite interesting. Your earth must be a different one from mine.” Said a man wearing a brown cloak. “You must be Max, Rainbow told me there was another human here, Nice to meet you.” Albert said raising a hand out. “A pleasure.” Max said as he shook Albert's hand. “Well, now that I have met the new human in town, I better get back to work.” He said as he walked off. “Well… that's rude, he didn't even say hi to me.” Rainbow said pouting. “He can't help it, he has had a lot of work piled on him while you were gone.” Twilight said. “You know Rainbow with the way you were pouting like that i'd say you have a crush on him.” Albert said smiling. Rainbow just shot Albert a glare before flying off. “Guess I was right, she didn't deny it~” Albert sing songed. “Uh, ah recommend ya stop teasing her like that… she sees Max like a brother so she doesn't appreciate the teasn.” Applejack explained. “Oh...damn hahaha” Albert said trying not to laugh and failing. “Oh that's going to be hilarious when she finds out!” He said gasping for air. “Finds what out?” Twilight asked as everyone looked at him. “Sorry, can't tell you.” Albert started. “It's a secret and i don't give away secrets like that or any at all for that matter.” Albert said. “I Pinkie swore to myself on the train i wouldn't tell unless, the one whose secret i'm keeping tells me to.” Albert finished explaining. “Oh…. Okie dokie lokie then, so what are you going to do now?” Pinkie asked Albert. “Well… I don't really know, I guess I'll go look for a place to stay until that party you were telling me about is done.” Albert said. “Oh… well seeing as you new in ponyville why don't you go and look around, you can stay with me until you find a place to stay.” Pinkie said smiling. Albert and the elements along with Discord all just stared at the hyperactive pink pony, who was seemingly slowed down a bit. Albert was about to answer but before he could a scream was heard from across ponyville. They all looked towards where the noise had come from, as the crowd of ponies began running away from whatever was happening. Albert was able to see what was happening, and all he said as he watched was. “OH NO!” to be continued //-------------------------------------------------------// the first day in town //-------------------------------------------------------// the first day in town “OH NO!” Albert shouted as they watched what was unfolding. Albert, and the elements were all at the train station. They were all about to leave when a loud scream was let out across Ponyville. At the other end of town a large stallion with a: light brown mane, dark brown coat. He was standing over top of a unicorn filly with: light purple coat, and a light yellowish mane. “DINKIE!!” A mare with a: grey coat, and a yellow mane was crying and running towards the two of them. The stallion's eyes were a dark red and a strange substance began to emerge from his back. “What is he!? What is he doing to Dinkie!?” Rarity shouted in horror. “He's trying to eat her.” Albert said getting all eyes looking at him in horror. “W-why W-would he want to eat her!?” Fluttershy asked horrified. “He's a ghoul, ghouls have to eat the same species as them. Well almost the same species as them once a ghoul becomes a ghoul they are no longer the same species anymore.” Albert said. “What are we going to do!?” rainbow dash asked. she came back when she heard the scream. “We can't let Dinkie get eaten!!” “We won't get to her in time!!!” Twilight shouted. “Even with your speed dash… I'm sorry she's done for.” “No… She isnt.” Albert said getting everyone to stare at him. In an instant were Albert stood was empty, and a gust of dust was going across ponyville. The elements looked over to where Dinkie and the ghoul were Albert was now in between Dinkie and the ghoul holding the ghoul back with one hand. “How did he get over there so fast!?” Rainbow dash yelled. “I… wonder?” Twilight said as they approached the scene. “You know what?” Albert said as the ghoul growled at him. “back home… my planet just exited a third world war, and everyday I saw nothing but dead and orphaned children. So one day I swore to myself that i would help any child in danger, EVEN IF I HAD TO DIE TO DO SO!!” Albert shouted as he kicked the ghoul down the road. “You bastard!!!” The ghoul yelled as it charged straight towards Albert sending its kagune at him and Dinkie. Albert quickly grabbed Dinkie and held her in his arms, as he bolted to the mare who was screaming her name and handed Dinkie to her. “Get out of here.” Albert told the mare. “Thank you so much!” The mare said running away. “Ok you Bastard.” Albert said turning towards the ghoul. “Let's get this over with, i've got a party to get two.” Albert said as he ran up to the ghoul and kicked his head straight up. He then punched the ghoul in the stomach, before getting kicked in his own. “Civilians should stay out of a warzone. but thanks for the help.” Phantom said appearing next to Albert. “War huh? That i'm used to.” Albert said Punching the ghoul again sending it flying. “And don't think of me as just a civilian, i've been fighting in wars since I was seven.” “Just trying to protect your privacy. You do know twilight is watching us, right?” Phantom said before running over and grabbing the ghoul by the neck. “YOU HAVE ATTEMPTED TO EAT AN INNOCENT, THUS YOU NOW BELONG TO ME!” He shouted at the ghoul in his grasp. “Thanks for worrying, but I have an explanation.” Albert said walking up to Phantom. “And I want to help kill this bastard, he tried to kill a child and I've seen for too much of that!” Albert said punching the ghoul in the nose. “If you say so. Just let me do my job first, and I hope you don't mind if I leave no evidence of his existence afterwards.” Phantom stated as his jawline shifted a little. “Remember what you said, Twilight and Everyone are watching.” Albert said placing a hand on Phantoms shoulder. “You really want them to see you cannibalize a ghoul? I suggest taking him out of town first.” Albert said with an evil grin. “Great minds think alike I see.” Phantom said before planting the ghoul in a wall and binding it with its own kagune. “After your… Meal would you like to come to the party Pinkies throwin?” Albert said in a hushed tone. “Expect my benefactor to stop by.” Phantom chuckled quietly. “Ok, but thanks for your help. I might not have been able to defeat him without revealing myself.” Albert said rubbing his stomach as Phantom dragged the ghoul away. “Don't worry, I won't let that happen. It’s not every day a fellow Blue eye comes to town.” Phantom said. Albert could almost hear the smirk that the ghoul was making. “ALBERT!!!” Twilight shouted running up with the elements and the group of ponies who saw the fight. Albert was going to ask her what was wrong until the mare with a Yellow mane and unicorn filly Dinky that he saved walked up to him. “Yes?” He asked the two. “Is something the matter? Did that ghoul hurt either of you?” “No, I just wanted to thank you for saving my little muffin. If it weren't for you I don't know what would have happened to her before the Phantom Knight was able to take him away.” the blond maned Pegasus and Dinkey hugged him before leaving. “... Your welcome, HEY PINKIES THROWING ME A WELCOME PARTY LATER, YOU TWO WANT TO COME?” Albert shouted to the two but they were already gone. “Darn… I was hoping to make some new friends.” Albert saw the elements (mainly Twilight) looking at him with a glare. “What?” “HOW THE BUCK CAN YOU MOVE THAT FAST!?” She yelled. “Ow! come on, I told you my world was just finishing up a war. I was in the war for thirteen years, so of course I can move fast.” Albert said rubbing his ear. “That doesn't explain the fact that you're that strong?” Twilight said glaring still. “Hello! What part of war don't you get? I had to go though tantares in order to survive!” Albert said glaring back. “I think ya may want ta run now sugarcube.” Applejack said to Albert as twilight teleported a bunch of note taking tools and sciency things to her as her hair began to stick up. “NO! you ain't taking me alive! mep mep!” Albert said before running away fast enough to leave a dust trail. “HOW THE BUCK DOES HE DO THAT!?” Rainbow shouted as she watched Albert practically pull off a pinkie. “Simple.” Albert said popping up behind dash startling her and the others. “I know some of Pinkies tricks… But not all of them.” He said smiling before disappearing again. Twilights eyes just twitched as her: mane, tail, and coat all turned different colors as she rage shifted. “HOW?!?!” She shouted making everyone except Pinkie back up. “Hey! She just evolved into a Rapidash again!” Pinkie giggled. “Rapidash? Were?” Albert said popping up again before noticing Twilight. “Oh… Buck. Hey Twilight calm down please.” Albert said hopefully. “I... uh… Have to go feed angel!” Fluttershy stammered before bolting away alongside Applejack and Rarity. “Well… no wonder none of them are the element of loyalty.” Albert said shaking his head. “Heh… good luck Albert!” Rainbow said giving the ghoul a pat on the back before flying away. Albert just deadpand as he watched her fly off. “Really? Some Loyalty!! You going to leave two?” Albert asked Pinkie. “Nope.” Pinkie said before putting on a deadpool costume. “Were going to have some fun!” She said as she pulled out a chimicherychanga and took a bite out of it. Albert just watched her with wide eyes before a smile spread across his face. “YOUR AWESOME YA KNOW THAT?” Albert said as twilight shot a blast of magic at him. “Oh no” He said jumping on top of a roof and running like hell. “GET BACK HERE!” Twilight yelled as she began to chase after him. “Only if you calm down!” Albert shouted back as a light shined in the center of ponyville. Albert watched as the light took the form of Princess Celestia and Luna. “Why are they here?” He asked himself as twilight attacked him again. Albert jumped off of the roof and over to Celestia and Luna. “Hellp!! Please!” “What the!?” The two princesses said in unison out of shock as albert flew past them. “TWILIGHT'S TRYING TO KILL ME!!” He shouted as he ducked behind them. “What are you talking about?” Celestia asked confused while Luna just froze up, memories of Phantoms pranks flashing through the night princess’s mind. “L-look.” Albert said pointing to the rage shifted princess of friendship. “I WILL FIGURE OUT HOW YOU DO THAT!” Twilight shouted as she flew around the corner, not noticing the two Princesses that were now staring at her in surprise. “What did thou do to her?” Luna asked. “Nothing! I just Pulled a Pinkie Move and then she when coo coo.” Albert said still hiding. “I-I…” Celestia stammered before sitting down with her jaw hanging and eye twitching. “I think thou broke our sister…” Luna said barely able to keep from having a mental shutdown like her sister. “I’m letting you know right now, I’m not afraid of her. I’m trying to not fight her because I might hurt her, if she keeps this up I will defend myself.” Albert said with malice in his voice. As soon as Albert finished his sentence Twilight spotted him, but froze when she noticed Max walk into the town square from the opposite side of her. “Really now Twi? He hasn't even been here a day and yet you are already chasing him like you did me.” Max said as he walked over to Albert. “Hello Luna and Celestia, how are you doing?” He asked making the three princesses stare at him. “Why are you here Max?” Albert said seeing as he was the only one not staring at him. “Why I saw a flying Rapidash and decided to come help whatever poor schmuck Twi was chasing.” Max said laughing. “Gee… thanks a bunch.” Albert said rolling his eyes. “Now I really need that Party Pinkie was talking about… where is she?” “Where do you think?” Max said before walking towards sugarcube corner. Albert, Celestia, Luna, and the now deevolved Twilight all followed him to the sweets shop. When all five of them got there Max shoved Albert inside and turned on the lights. “Suprise!” Pinkie shouted, streamers and confetti flying everywhere. Albert saw a bunch of Ponies at the shop including: Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity, Spike, The Cmc, Applejack, and finally The Yellow maned mare and her daughter Dinkie. “I didn't think you two would be here?” Albert said to The mare, and Dinkie. “And now that I think about it you never told me your name, I like knowing names before fully accepting thank yous.” He said smirking. “Oh! Sorry, my name's Derpy. And you already know Dinkie.” She said introducing herself. “Nice to meet you… Derpy? Someone really named there Filly that, is it a nickname? I'm not trying to be rude or anything, i just don't use nicknames all that much.” Aldert said chuckling out of embarrassment. “Mommy's real name is Ditsy Doo, but everyone calls her Derpy because of her eyes.” Dinkie explained. “Oh… I see, well I won't. Nice to meet you Disty and Dinkie.” He said patting Dinkie on the head and raising a hand to Ditsy. Ditsy took the offered hand and shook it before going off to enjoy the party with Dinky. “So… Twilight, if you want to know about some of the stuff from my world i don't have a problem with it.” Albert said as twilight got a crazy look in her eye. “However, I'll tell you about it when I want to, and no going crazy when I say I'm done!” Albert said making Twilight pout but nod. “Now let's enjoy this party. //-------------------------------------------------------// That night //-------------------------------------------------------// That night The party was beginning to die down, and everypony along with Max, and Albert were getting tired. Albert was sitting at a booth near the back of sugarcube corner when the crusaders approached, Albert had not noticed until Sweetie belle tapped his shoulder. “Yes?” He asked turning to them. “What are you?” Sweetie belle asked. “I'm a half human.” Albert responded. “Whats a hoo-man?” Apple bloom asked. “And how are you only half of one?” “Well a human is a type of hairless primate, and i'm half human because… I can't tell you that.” He said looking away as Max glared in his direction. “Okay… Can you do anything cool?” Scootaloo asked. “Up… but I'll need Rainbow Dash's help.” Albert said looking towards rainbow. “Hey dash can you help me with something?” He called over to her. “Uh… Sure? what is it?” Rainbow replied. “The crusaders wanted me to show them something cool, so I was going to show them my healing capabilities.” He said with a sheepish grin as Max glared at him. “Now girls this will be a little drastic, Dash I want you to break my nose again.” Albert said with a grin. Rainbow shruged before bucking him in the face. There was another loud snapping noise as blood gushed from Alberts nose. “OWWWW!!! I FORGOT HOW PAINFUL THAT IS!!!” Albert shouted as he held a tissue up to his nose. “Ok… this is going to hurt.” He said before snapping his nose back into place. “There we go, was that cool enough for you.” Albert said smiling at the crusaders. “That was really cool!” Applebloom shouted. “That... was… *gag* Grose…” Sweetie belle said, covering her mouth with a hoof. “That… was… AMAZING!!” Scootaloo shouted. “How did you do that?” “I would like to know as well?” Princess celestia said from behind Albert. “Oh… um.” Albert said forgetting that the princesses were still there. “I'll send you a letter about it later.” He said chuckling nervously. “Excuse me Princesses, I need to have a chat with my fellow ‘Human’…” Max said before grabbing Albert by his ear and dragging him into a private area where no one would hear them, not even Pinkie. “Are you TRYING to get yourself caught?” He then demanded of the half ghoul. “Sorry! I forgot that the princesses were still here, besides I just wanted to make friends with the crusaders.” Albert said. “I didn't think it would be that bad.” “Well, the crusaders may be able to become great allies but they suck at keeping secrets… Just be careful and don't let anyone get too interested in you… I don't want to have to pull you out of a lab.” Max sighed. “You got it… Phantom knight.” Albert said smirking. “And please only address me by the form im in… I already have half of equestria after my arse, I don't need my secret identity accidentally revealed…” Max said. “Ok, by the way why aren't you confused that I know your secret?” Albert said with an eyebrow raised. “Because you remind me of deadpool…” Max said shuddering. “Yeah… that's what Crux said, but I knew your because… you smell like the phantom not because i'm a deadpool alternate.” Albert said shrugging “...And you called me by my human name when we first met…” Max added, “And don't get me started on the other incidents since coming to ponyville…” “Well… that was mainly a hunch, until I met you in person that is.” Albert said chuckling. “But I wasn't completely sure until right now.” “Whatever, spider ghoul.” Max said, rolling his eyes. “Yeah… Now that I think about it I'll need a code name if i get into the Power Ponies… Maybe… The Blue Arachnid?” Albert said thinking out loud. “No... that is way too tacky. You need something like ‘the one eyed owl’ but short and spider themed.” Max deadpanned. “...Ok… How about… blue eyed spider?” Albert said. “...Your not very good at code names are you kid?” Max said. “First: i'm not a kid, i'm 18, second no, no i'm not.” Albert said sighing. “Well, I can give you two suggestions. But I think that one of them may work, depending on what you decide your full disguised to look like.” Max said. “Well… I’m not sure, we could go to the forest to see?” Albert suggested. “I meant the rest of your costume besides your mask. Not your kagune.” Max said before checking to make sure no one had decided to eavesdrop on them. “Well… I think my costume was combined into my kagune because I was wearing these.” He said pointing to his cloths. “Underneath it, but it was more or less a blue version of deadpool`s.” Albert said shrugging. “Heh, Ponypool is going to lose it when he sees you then.” Max said before leading Alex to the forest. “Seriously!! there's a deadpool here?” Albert said laughing. “Yup! he even tried to troll Celestia once. where do you think the Cmc got the picture of her eating cake!” Max said laughing. “Hahaha… seriously!! Oh my god! I have got to meet this guy and shake his hand/hoof depending on if he's anthro or not.” Albert said gasping for breath. “Don't try to comprehend this but he’s both…” Max said. “We need to get the two of you and pinkie together so we can have a repeat of the smartypants incident!” He then added falling over in laughter. “Well, first YES!!! second if he's both does that mean he can shapeshift between forms or?” Albert said as they entered the forest. “He doesn't shapeshift, and no I won't go into detail on how that's possible. Let's get back to the topic at hand though…” Max said as they reached a clearing near the everfree. “Wait… holy shit is he a centare!?, also right here goes.” Albert said as he closed his eyes straining to summon his kagune. When the kagune sprouted millions of smaller tentacles sprouted and began wrapping around him. The tentacles formed a blue, and black version of deadpool's outfit with the exception of the mask being the one Pinkie made him. “Huh, the tentacles make you look like doctor octopus…” Max said as he examined Albert. “Thanks, so… maybe something to do with doc ock in the name then?” Albert asked. “Hmm…” Max tapped his chin in thought before he had an idea. “How about Arachnull, sapphire spider, or… maybe even Tarantulas?” Max said shrugging. he wasn't very good when it came to bug names. “Hmm… I like Sapphire spider.” Albert said nodding. “Thanks for helping.” “Your welcome, Sapphire spider.” Max said grinning. “I thought that you looked like a blue version of the crimson spider and sapphire is blue, and tough as your kagune, so I thought it would fit. just don't reveal your identity to anyone, not even the power ponies.” he said, giving Albert a knowing look. “Ok, I was going to tell Pinkie and Dash but that would probably put them in danger so… nope.” Albert said as his kagune began to disintegrate. “Um dude… is it supposed to be this painful?” He asked Max as his Kagune`s points dug back into his spine. “Your a halfbreed, things aren't going to go as smoothly as a pureblood like me. but you'll get used to it… I think…” Max said before they left to return to the party. “And you catch on quickly as to why you shouldn't tell people your secret identity, unless they can handle themselves… if you know what I mean.” “Yup, i'm sure dash could and so could Pinkie but I don't think they would be able to keep a secret like this even with a Pinkie promise.” Albert said as they reentered ponyville. “Exactly why they would be in danger, and i'm referring to more than a villain or two. There are hunters out there.” Max said before vanishing. “Ok thanks Max see ya latter.” Albert said as he reentered sugarcube corner. When he entered the shop the only pony left was Pinkie who was picking up all the food and plates. “Hey Pinkie? What happened to everypony?” Albert asked as she looked towards him. “Oh, they had to go…something about the opening ceremony for the new power ponies center in ponyville.” Pinkie said putting a hand to her chin in contemplation. “Why didn't you go?” Albert asked her as he took some plates. “I had to clean up here first silly!” Pinkie said before turning to albert. “Why don't you go ahead? I’ll catch up.” “i'd rather stay and help, I'm not very good with large groups.” Alberts said smiling. “Besides I like helping my friends no matter what I'm helping with.” Pinkie rolled her eyes before pushing Albert out the door. “Just get going I’m almost finished anyway! and you were looking for a new job right?” She said giving him a wink. Albert's face flushed and all he could do was nod his head. “OK thanks.” He said running into an alleyway and summoning his kagune and costume before putting on his mask. Albert ran along rooftops until he found the new building. “OK how should I introduced myself?” He thought out loud. “Party crasher style? and don't forget to introduce yourself!” A pony wearing a fez with a hourglass cutie mark suggested from next to him. “Sup doc…” Albert said turning to him. “Why should I party crash?” “Spoilers!~” The doctor said before his horn lit up and he teleported away. “... Since when is the doctor a unicorn?” Albert said jumping off of the roof top. ~Power ponies Ponyville HQ~ “Welcome all to the grand opening of the Power ponies Ponyville division HQ!” A bipedal unicorn in a purple costume said into a microphone from the front of the building. There were loud cheers as the pony gave the opening speech before a pegasus in a white suit walked over with a pair of golden scissors to cut the ribbon. as the ribbon was cut there was an announcement made about how they would be having tryouts when Albert crashed into the ground nearby, faceplanting into the stairs. “Mind if I tryout today?” Albert said standing up. “I'm the Sapphire Spider.” Many ponies just gaped at the strange being with eight spider like appendages coming out of his back as the two costumed mares took a fight stance. “Um… I guess?” The Purple one said before she relaxed. “I’m Masked Matterhorn, and this is Filly Second. Filly will be the one to test you since she will be staying here to take charge of this branch.” Filly Second then flew at ‘the Sapphire Spider’ to do a publick combat test. “We’ll start with the combat test! try not to get hit!~” She sang as she activated her powers, zipping all over the place. As Filly Second was zipping around Sapphire kept a close eye on her movements as she approached him he quickly side stepped her making her slam into a wall. “You OK?” He asked her. “I’m OK!” Filly Second said pulling herself out of the wall, strangely she didn't even have a scratch. “You pass the first test, now you just have to pass a written exam to finish your rookie application.” “Your kidding right? Well I'm boned.” Sapphire Spider sighed. “Oh you'll be fine.” Filly Second said waving him off. “It's just a personality quiz alongside some forums…” “OK, let's get this over with.” Sapphire Spider said leaning against a wall. “Ok! Follow me, Sapphire Spider!” Filly Second said before bouncing into the HQ and leading Sapphire Spider to a room with a desk and a couple sheets of paper on the desk. “I take it these are the forms?” Sapphire Spider said sitting down. “Yup, call me when you finish! I’ll be visiting with my cousin and letting her know i’m moving into town!~” Filly second said before vanishing. “Okie dokie lokie.” Sapphire Spider said before beginning to write. “Let's see... Name? Sapphire Spider. Gender? male. Species? …How am I supposed to answer this without revealing myself?” He asked himself “Same way I did! leave it blank!” Came a voice from behind the Sapphire Spider. Sapphire looked behind himself to see a pony with deadpool's costume. “So… your Ponypool I take it?” Sapphire Spider asked. “The one and only! Let me guess, someone told you about me?” Ponypool said as he went from standing on four to two in the blink of an eye before offering his hand to shake. “Yup… but I won't say who… just in case.” Sapphire Spider said shaking his hand. “My name is Sapphire Spider.” “Nice to meet ya! so… what elegance are you? chaotic good, lawful evil, what?” Ponypool asked as he backed over to the door. “Chaotic good, I'm a deadpool alternative from my original world.” Sapphire said sitting down. “Welcome then, brother! Let us have some fun next time we meet! Bie~” Ponypool said before running off in a puff of smoke. “OK then not filling in species, answering personality questions… and that's it! I'm done!” Sapphire said taking the paper in his hand. “Now… how do I find Filly?” “Where's Ponypool!?” Filly Second screamed from down the hall. “You just missed him!!” Sapphire Spider said walking over to Filly Second and handing her the paper. “also I'm done.” “Oh, thanks. Wait… You saw Ponypool? where did he go?” Filly Second said, eye visibly twitching under her mask. Sapphire Spider just shrugged his shoulders. “Don't know he disappeared in a puff of smoke after saying hi.” He responded. “Darn it…” Filly Second muttered before turning back to Sapphire Spider. “Ok, let's go to the meeting room and introduce you to the rest of the ponyville division.” “Alright then. Bye the way, why were you looking for pony pool?” Sapphire spider asked. Filly Second blushed under her mask. “N-none of your business!” She stuttered before trotting down the hall. “Oh! I gotcha.” Sapphire Spider smiled under his mask and winking with the eye that was visible catching up with her. “Shut up! it's not like that!” Filly Second said before entering a room with a large table and two ponies at the opposite end of it. “Wow… and who are these two?” Sapphire Spider asked looking at the two. “Meet the currently only other members of this branch, Maredowell and Silvermoon.” Filly second said, the Ponies at the other end of the table coming over to introduce themselves. “Hello, I'm maredowell. Its nice to meet you…” Maredowell said raising a hand. “And I’m Silvermoon. nice to have another guy on the team!” Silver Moon said raising a hoof. “I’m the Sapphire Spider, it’s nice to meet you both. I look forward to working with you.” Sapphire Spider said shaking Silvermoon’s hoof, and kissing Maredowell hand by lifting his mask slightly. “W-well aren't you the gentlestallion... “ Maredowell stuttered as Silvermoon laughed. “I try to be as gentlemanly as possible when meeting new females, I would have been a gentlemen to Filly second and Masked matter horn but they kind of had me doing test's.” Sapphire Spider said chuckling. Silvermoon was now rolling on the floor in laughter as Maredowell did an impression of a fish and Filly Second groaned. “Great, another one…” Filly second said as she facehoofed. “I take it you're referring to ponypool? Also sorry if I made you upset Maredowell.” Sapphire Spider said rubbing the back of his head. “N-not at all!” Maredowell stuttered. “I have to go! missions and stuff!” she then said before teleporting away. “This is going to be a LONG day…” Filly Second said as she walked off. “Well, now that that's settled… want to go to the training room?” Silvermoon asked. “Sure, I need to master my kagune. I should warn you it might go out of control, so… yeah lead the way.” Sapphire said. “Ok then, and whats a Kagune?” Silvermoon said as they began to walk down another of the halls until they reached a circular blast door. “A kagune is this thing on my back, and it's actually eight tentacles not Spider legs. There are actually lot of kagune but I'll explain that later.” Sapphire explained as they entered the room. Silvermoon raised an eyebrow at what Sapphire Spider said but decided to see what he was talking about later. “Ok, let's start with a warm up.” He said before a bunch of mannequin-esque robots rose out of the floor and began to move around. “OK then let's see what I can do with this thing.” Sapphire Spider said swinging a tentacle at a robot before a blue shard left the tentacle penetrating the robot's chest. “Whoa… I can shoot shards!? Cool!” Sapphire exclaimed. “Interesting, I am going to guess you haven't used your kagune much before?” Silvermoon asked as he pulled out a scythe. “Nope this is the first time, except for when I first got here but that was to save my butt.” Sapphire Spider said as he watched what Silvermoon was doing. Silvermoon chuckled as he began to spin his scythe around before running into the throng of robots and mowing them down while jumping about as they tried to attack him with their fists or hooves. “Wow nice moves.” Sapphire Spider said to Silvermoon as he shot more shards into the center chests of robots. “Well, I’m ok… But not as good as my dad.” Silvermoon said chuckling as he finished of the remaining robots. “Well, that`s cool what do you want to do know?” Sapphire said. “Well, for starters, what are you?” Silvermoon asked. “Um… I think it's better if you don't know.” Sapphire said rubbing the back of his head. “You can tell me. I mean, my dad was a Vigilante so I doubt you would surprise me.” Silvermoon said laughing as he remembered the tales of his father’s prime. “Well… I don't think you`d like what you'll hear.” Sapphire said “Moon Knight was treated like a murder, But he was a great father, I won't judge you or tell anyone. especially seeing that you're not very comfortable about the subject, and it would help to have someone who could help you maneuver around such questions.” Silvermoon stated with a warm smile showing from under his hood. “Well… I'm… Half… Ghoul.” Sapphire Spider. “But i'm not like other ghouls.” Silvermoon stared at Sapphire spider, mouth agape. “Y-your part ghoul? Wow, that must suck… Looks like I have my work cut out for me, freind.” He said as a sad smile came to his face. “Bra… you have no idea, but it's not all bad I'm a blue eyed ghoul.” Sapphire Spider said shaking his head. “I'm a rare breed of ghoul that can eat normal food.” “Wow, I never knew there were multiple types. You learn something every day in this line of work it seems…” Silvermoon chuckled to himself. “So, shall we activate the Danger Room now that we are done with our warm ups?” “Sure, and thanks for helping me.” Sapphire Spider said. “No prob, I can tell that you're a good individual despite your species.” Silvermoon said as he bucked a big red button, causing the room to shift into something resembling the danger room from X-men as it activated. “Now… Let's get this party started!” to be continued //-------------------------------------------------------// Meeting another Displaced //-------------------------------------------------------// Meeting another Displaced Sapphire Spider/Albert and Silvermoon were in the training room when a portal opened up and a crystal hit Albert on the head. “Ow, what is this?” He said rubbing his head as he looked at the floor and the greenish crystal with the ends missing. He picked it up and heard the message. My name is Dillan, I posses an ultimatrix and if you need help with anything call me to your side. “Dillan?” Sapphire Spider said confused. Right after Sapphire Spider said that a portal appears and a man with a blue hoodie and a blue watch looking device on his right wrist came out. “Hello, my name is Dillan.” The man said pulling off his hood, he was roughly six foot tall with black pants, and a blue shirt on underneath his hoodie. “Why did you summon me? I was in the middle of my congratulations party.” Dillan said looking at the two of them. Silvermoon was a confused stallion... “What's the matter? First time summoning a displaced?” Dillan asked the two who were very quiet. “What the Buck is a displaced?” Silvermoon asked, snapping out of his confusion in time to duck under a spinning blade. “Ok… which one of you said my name?” Dillan asked. “I did… so you're the Dillan that the merchant gave you that upgrade to right?” Sapphire asked. “Yup, so you're a deadpool alternative as well?” Dillan asked Sapphire. “Which means your the displaced right?” He said as Silver was getting confused about the conversation. “Ok, buck this, I’m out!” Silvermoon said before deactivating the danger room and leaving to protect his sanity. “What's his problem?” Dillan asked as he watched Silvermoon leave. “I think we broke his brain, anyways we can't talk here come on follow me.” Sapphire Spider said as he left the room. “Where are we going?” Dillan asked as they exited the room. “The everfree forest.” Sapphire replied as they exited the HQ. They were walking into the forest only to see Max leaning against a tree from one of its branches. “Who’s the new guy?” Max asked as he fell from the branch to land on his feet. “This is Dillan, the wilder of an Ultimatrix and I accidentally summoned him when his token hit me on my head.” Sapphire said walking into the forest. “Sup.” Dillan said following Sapphire into the forest. “Well, this should prove interesting…” Max said before following them. The three of them arrived at the same clearing that Albert had shown Max his kagune previously that night. Once they arrived Albert disintegrated his disguise and took off his mask. “Now then I'm Albert and it's nice to officially meet you Dillan.” Albert said shaking Dillan's hand. “And this is Max.” He said pointing to the other ghoul. “Hi.” Max said, waving as he leaned against a tree. “Sup, so as I asked before is there a reason you summoned me? Or was it actually an accident?” Dillan asked. “Also could I scan your DNA?” He asked the two of them. “Well… yes it was an accident, and sure You can scan my dna but I have a request in exchange. But you'll need Max’s permission to scan his DNA.” Albert said with a grin. “OK? Is it alright with you Max?” Dillan asked him. “I'll be happy to repay you.” “Um… I dont think thats a good idea…” Max said, unsure of what Dillan ment by ‘scan his DNA’. “Just so you know I can break the fourth wall, and what I mean is to do this.” Dillan said as a yellow beam flashed from his watch and pasted over Albert. “Ultimatrix code name for this scan… Arachno ghoul.” Dillan said as the watch beeped. ‘Code name accepted’ The ultimatrix stated. “See that's all there is to it, it doesn't hurt.” Dillan said. “Ok, but are you sure you want another being like ghost freak in that watch of yours?” Max asked, memories of watching ben 10 when he was younger coming to the front of his mind. “I already have an evil persona in my head, I'm sure it'll be OK.” Dillan said as he held his head in his right hand while sitting down. “Besides I'll slice your DNA.” “...That does not make me any more comfortable…” Max said hiding behind the tree he was leaning against. “Ah don't worry Double D isn't all that bad, he just goes crazy when someone makes fun of us. Besides I can get rid of him whenever I want.” Dillan said smiling mischievously. “Also I meant splice your DNA not slice, my bad.” “Still going to be a no.” Max said. “Why?” Dillan asked. “I'll splice your dna with humungousaur`s.” “I don't think having Having Blue Eye DNA available to anyone other than select individuals is a good idea… And it could accidentally convert someone who is a non ghoul into a Red Eye if you aren't careful.” Max pointed out. “How do you think the Red Eyes came to this world?” “Ya dun goofed didn't you?” Dillan asked. “Lets just say… I hate mad scientists and clones…” Max deadpanned. “OK, but I can't really control this yet.” Dillan said holding up the Ultimatrix before it sent a yellow beam over Max. “... See, sorry I didn't mean it.” “At least it didn't copy my master gene…” Max mumbled, noticing that the Ultimatrix created a hologram of a normal ghoul. “Well… i'm not sure about that…” Dillan said as he switched it to another hologram that looked exactly like the first but with a blue eye. “My Ultimatrix scans, and uploads all of the different DNA codes in one scan. Do to the upgrade chip the merchant gave me.” He said nervously. “...You better delete it or make sure it is never used… You do not want ghouls spawning everywhere…” Max said, his eye twitching. “If they did, I would just kill them and then bring them back to life the way they were originally.” Dillan said projecting an image of a Namekian. “Of course I still have to make the dragon balls.” “Wow! You can make dragon balls?” Albert said. “Yup, I'll make some for you if you want?” Dillan asked the two of them. “I'm up for it, how about you Max?” Albert said looking at Max. “Um, the kind that scatter around the world? or one use?” Max asked nervously. “I can program them to be multiple use, and to stay in one place. However they aren't toys so only use them in emergencies.” Dillan smiled. “I swear you Omnitrix people are OP!” Max exclaimed. “And what species do you have on your omnitrix?” “Ultimatrix.” Dillan corrected. “And I have too many to count, but what I do have are all of the ones from the show. Along with some Dragon ball z scans, hence the Namekian.” Dillan said happily. “Any species like Humungousaur that could make me change size and increase my durability?” Max inquired, his curiosity taking over now that it was too late to do anything about getting scanned. “Um… I don't think so… wait, I do know of one I could get.” Dillan said tapping his chin. “but i'll need to use the dragon balls, and you'll have to name the dragon.” “Ok, and lets only have one set of those things in this dimension… don't want a set to land in some supervillains hands ya know.” Max said. “OK, just to let you know when I splice your DNA with this creature it will be interesting.” Dillan said. “You don't actually have to splice my Dna, just inject me with a copy of the species’s Dna and my Ghoul dna will do that automatically.” Max said. “And sorry if this sounds harsh, but I trust my own body more than the ultimatrix.” “I would too, OK I need seven stones.” Dillan said looking at the ground. “How about seven crystals?” Max asked, handing over seven blue gemstones. “And don't ask why I have them on me, it’s just a coincidence.” “That should do” Dillan said as he placed the seven gemstones on the ground and stepped back. “Ok, step back, Ultimatrix Cordio!” Dillan said transforming into a Namekian. He raised his hands into the sky and focused his magic, clouds formed circling above him and lightning struck his hands before blasting the crystals making them transform into orbs. The Dragon balls were; smallish and blue with green stars. Albert, and Max looked on in amazement. “There you go.” Dillan said exhausted. “Now you just have to name the dragon.” “Ok, how about Dragoule? It fits with the theme that me and Albert were displaced as. Even if we are from different earths.” Max said. “I like it.” Albert said happily. “OK, then.” Dillan said sending more energy into the spheres. “Done, now summon him.” “How?” Max asked. “Say… Dragoule rise.” Dillan said sitting down. “Huh, that's more simple than I thought it would be…” Max replied. “Dragoul, rize!” he said, activating the dragonballs. The seven blue spheres began to glow with a dark cyan light before a column of purple light roze from the ground and surrounded them before vanishing to reveal a purple chinese dragon with blue eyes. “Yee who have summoned me? speak your five wishes so I may return to my slumber!!” Dragoul said as Albert and Max were wide eyed. “Five!? We get five?” Albert said. “Huh… That's different.” Max commented. “Yup… That's what all the lightning and everything was for.” Dillan said standing up. “Dragoul I wish for the genetic code for experiment 626 from the Lilo and Stitch dimension was in my Ultimatrix.” “Your wish is granted!!” Dragoul said eyes glowing as a hologram of Stitch projected from the watch. “Huh, cool… So what do you need stitch's Dna for?” Max asked Dillan. A mischievous smile spread across Dillan’s face as he pointed the ultimatrix at Max. “Because, ultimatrix inject target with 626 DNA.” Dillan said before Max could respond a yellow beam shot over him. “D-did you just…” Max said. “Yup.” Dillan said smiling. “Ok, you get one chance to tell me why you injected me with his Dna.” Max said, eye twitching. “Because Stitch is super strong, plus when he summons his other arms and everything he gets stronger and bigger.” Dillan replies. “626 can only lift 3000 times his weight, and he doesn't have size changing abilities.” Max said. “... Oh well…” Dillan said grinning. “sorry I was mistaken, but guess what?” “What?” Max asked. “Thanks to Stitches DNA, when you're in Phantom night form you can summon two more arms now.” Dillan said smiling. “That and his isn't the only DNA I'm going to inject you with.” “Wait… it’s possible to inject someone with multiple samples?” Max asked nervously. “Yup!” Dillan said pointing the Ultimatrix at Albert. “Uh oh!” Albert said nervously. “Splice target with Arachnichimp DNA.” Dillan said as a yellow beam shot over Albert. “Its Monkey time spidey.” Max laughed. “You can shoot webs out of your mouth now, and you can climb like spider monkey.” Dillan said. “And shoot webs out of his kagune, if my theory is correct. They do count as tails after all.” Max pointed out for Dillan. “True, now I'm going to inject you both with the same dna.” Dillan said pointing the Ultimatrix at them. “What Dna if I may ask?” Max said, not sure if it would mix well. “Saiyan… why?” Dillan asked. “No sayian for me… it won't mix well with 626…” Max said, remembering the difference between DBZ and Lilo and Stitch systems. “OK, Ultimatrix inject target with Saiyan DNA.” Dillan said injecting Albert with saiyan dna. “Cool!” Albert exclaimed. “Ok, seeing as I forced you to become an experiment are there any specific DNA you'd like to be injected with?” Dillan asked Max. “Well… I’ll go with Humungousaur, helps if one of us can handle titan class foes.” Max shrugged. “And if I combine his powers with 626’s I could basicly bench press planets…” Max grinned at that last thought. “Ok then… Ultimatrix inject target with Vaxasaurian dna.” Dillan said sending another yellow beam over Max. “So, Who wants to run a field test?” Max asked. “Though we should probably use those four remaining wishes first…” “Good idea, Dragoul! I wish we had… um…” Albert began trying to think of something. “That we can't be scanned or have our powers copied anymore.” Max interjected, going with things that would be useful for him and his fellow ghoul. “Your wish is granted, what are your other three?” Dragoul asked. “I wish that I had a hammerspace.” Max said, continuing with things that would be useful. “A what?” Albert and Dillan said together. “It's like a Pocket dimension but only you can use it, and not even a god could remove things from it without the owner's permission.” Max shrugged. “Your wish is granted. What are your last two?” “I wish I had full control over my kagune!” Albert yelled. “Your wish is also granted, one wish left.” Dragoul said. “I wish…” Max started. “Wait!” Dillan yelled cutting him off. “Think for a minute, what if something happens. It takes a long time for the dragon balls to recharge, so it would make more sense to save the last wish for an emergency.” He finished. “That's why I was going with Practical stuff. and how is he supposed to revert if we haven't used all five?” Max asked. “Simple, you can save it just like in the show.” Dillan said with a thumbs up. “Ok… Dragoul, rest for now, we will use our last wish later.” Max said to the dragon, wondering if it would work. “Very well, until next time!” Dragoul said as he reverted into energy with the dragon balls landing on the ground. “I'll take one of these for safekeeping…” Max said stuffing the Dragonball with three stars in it into his hammerspace. “OK, I'll take the four star ball with me, and put the rest in the power ponies HQ. I'll tell them they're extremely rare and precious to me.” Albert said grabbing the four star ball. “It would be easier to just tell them they are powerful artifacts similar to the elements…” Max said. “Good point, and I wouldn't technically be lying.” Albert said. “You wouldn't be lying at all, just leaving out a few facts.” Max laughed. “Rookies these days… Always proving themselves interesting even if they need guidance.” He said to himself. “OK how's about we spar?” Dillan said cracking his neck. “I can also teach Albert how to perform the spirit boom, and kaioKen.” “You do that, I’m just going to do some exercises from my home world and test out my new abilities.” Max said, starting to walk deeper into the forest. “Follow me.” “Ok! Oh before we go would rather of you like the ability to perform magic? Such as chaos?” Dillan asked. “Nah i’m fine.” Max said. “I do! But I don't have the capability to.” Albert said sadly. “I was going to inject you with Discord’s DNA.” Dillan said. “So… I would end up being part human, part draconequus, part sayian, and part Arachnichimp?” Albert said listing off the genetic make up. “Do not inject any draconequus Dna into him!” Max shouted. “Ghoul Dna can handle being in a being that is a hybrid of two species, but not three! not counting human Dna. And I for one don't want to watch him pop like a balloon.” “Ok, OK I gotcha.” Dillan said grinning. “So where are we going, because it's pretty late and I'm getting tired. “Me two, we should call it a night and spar tomorrow after work. I'm sure Pinkie would be happy to let Dillan spend the night.” Albert said. “Ok then, see you in the morning.” Max said before he walked behind some trees and vanished. “OK then, to Pinkie pie!” Albert shouted. “I got this, Ultimatrix Catastrophe!” Dillan said transforming into a draconequus. “Cool!” Albert said. “Thanks.” Dillan said snapping his fingers and teleporting them both to Sugar cube corner and appearing in front of Pinkie. “Welcome back! Who’s your friend Alby?” Pinkie said, almost as if she was expecting them. “This is Dillan, he's another human who's visiting. Also I was wondering if he could spend the night?” Albert asked as Dillan transformed back and was trying not to laugh. “A-alby? That's adorable!” Dillan laughed making Albert blush. “Cool! A human that can transform! that's a new one! careful though, ever since Lyra found out about Alby she has been going nuts.” Pinkie said before bouncing off. “Where is she going?” Dillan asked. “I don't know.” Albert said shrugging. “YOU!!” A voice sounded behind them. The two of them turned around to see a teal pony with a harp cutie mark looking angry. “Yes? What can we do for you?” Dillan asked her. “I finally found you! Now you're coming with ME!” The pony said pulling out a giant butterfly net with her mouth. “What!?” Albert said avoiding the net. “What did I do to you?!” He yelled. “You're coming with me to my lab that's what!” The pony said. “And I’m going to study you!” “You know you could just just talk with us. Right?” Dillan said trying to hold her back with magic. “I tried that with Max, havent seen him since! I am not taking any chances!” The pony said as she dodged Dillan’s magic before lunging at the humans, a crazy glint in her eyes. “Well, we aren't Max well be more than happy to talk with you Lyra heartstrings. Right Albert?” Dillan asked. “Eeyup!” Albert said as Dillan parallelised Lyra with a spell. “Max is a douche but we aren't.” He said with a smile. Lyra though wasn't listening anymore, ideas of how she was going to ‘test’ them running through her mind. “Must. Capture. HUMANS!” She said as she started forcing herself to move, her will overriding the Paralysis. “OK ya know what Lyra? This is getting out of hand… hoof… whatever! Ultimatrix Cyclone!” Dillan yelled turning into an anthro pony with blue and black spiral eyes. He ran forward and used hypnosis to make her fall asleep. “Cool, so what now?” Albert asked. “She'll have to stay with us for the night, so Pinkie can me and Lyra spend the night here?” Dillan asked he saw Pinkie behind a table. “Sure… Just let me get the dungeon cleaned up a bit…” She said before zipping away. “Dungeon?” Dillan said outloud. “Don't ask me.” Albert said. A trap door then opened up under lyra before closing as the unicorn fell in. “There, she should be secure enough to not cause you trouble until morning!” Pinkie said. “You can stay in Alby’s room, goodnight.” She then bounced up the stairs. “... OK I'm not leaving Lyra in a dungeon.” Dillan said. “Where is your room?” “This way.” Albert said. “Pinkie showed it to me before I saw the town.” When they entered the room Dillan transformed into Catastrophe and teleported Lyra onto the couch, but not before putting a bubble around her. He then summoned another couch and laid down. “Night Dillan.” Albert said. “Night.” Dillan replies. Things were sure going to be hektik tomorrow. Albert thought as he fell asleep. ~~~(End chapter break)~~~ “Ti… Up… I…” Albery and Dillan heard before they shot awake from the sound of a party canon going off right next to them. “Ow! Pinkie! What the Bucking Hell!” They said in unison “I tried to warn you~” Pinkie chirped before stuffing the canon into her mane. “About what?” Dillan said annoyed. “That if you didn't get up for breakfast I would wake you up with my canon.” Pinkie replied. “Ok, what's for breakfast?” Albert asked yawning. “Well, I made you some bacon eggs and pancakes!” Pinkie said winking at him. “Ponies eat meat here?” Dillan asked. “No they don't, I just told pinkie about humans being omnivores a while back is all.” Max said walking past the room. “O-ok i'll wake up Lyra.” Albert said with a slight blush from Pinkie winking at him. “WAKE UP YOU STALKER!” He yelled in her ear. “Argh!” Lyra screamed before falling off the couch. “Sorry, but after being woken up by a party canon in your ear you'd be irritable two.” Albert said helping her up. “How did you not wake up from it?” “I usually don't wake up unless It’s Bonbon waking me up…” Lyra groaned as she got to her hooves. “Then why was I able to wake you up?” Albert asked as they walked out the room. “Also no attacking us.” “Wait a minute… HUMANS!” Lyra shouted as she realized what she was talking to. “Oh don't get your flank in a bunch, me and Albert will tell you whatever it is you want to know.” Dillan said slapping Lyra upside the head. “We aren't Max we help with everything, even if its information.” Lyra smirked maliciously. “No backing out?” She asked. “Not for me, but Dillan will have to go home soon so he might have to. But i'm sure he'll help explain some stuff before then and if he comes back, right Dillan.” Albert said. “Eeyup.” Dillan said imitating big mac while smiling at Lyra. “Promise, cross my heart hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye.” He said going through the pinkie promise motions. “Tell me what you know about Max.” Lyra said, planing to get dirt on the human. “Not much actually, I mean I just got here and haven't really been able to get to know him that well.” Albert said thinking. “And i'm not from this planet.” Dillan said happily. “What!?” Lyra shouted as she turned to Dillan. “Yup, it's a long story, but Dillan,Max, and I are what is commonly known as displaced.” Albert began. “We were each taken from our home planets, and sent to two alternate versions of equus. Me and Max were sent here, and Dillan was sent to another.” Albert finished as they all sat down at the breakfast table. “What did you tell her?” Max asked from his spot at the table, worry evident in his voice. “About us being displaced.” Dillan said. “But we didn't get into much detail about it, she was asking what we knew about you.” “Tell her any more and you're dead.” Max promised. “You have already told her too much!” he then added. “Why?” Dillan asked. “I can't wait to share my findings!” Lyra squealed from the hallway. “Ultimatrix Catastrophe.” Dillan said shifting into a draconequus and teleporting Lyra bake to the table. “No telling anypony about displaced they will all find out in do time.” He said transforming back. “And no asking me how I can transform, its a whole thing.” Lyra was about to protest when Pinkie burst in with an urgent look. “Ursa… Attack… Power Ponies… Needed!” She panted before collapsing on the floor to catch her breath. “OK! I'll hold off the Ursa while you two get the power ponies.” Dillan said looking at Albert and Max. “Have them meet me in the town square, and try to find the Phantom night as well.” He said winking with a smirk. “On it!” Albert said running out the door. “I'll be back.” He said before running into an ally. “I’m going to go find shelter…” Max said before running out the door and disappearing into an alleyway. “OK.” Dillan said running into town. “time to distract the Major.” He said running at the Major. “I'll help you!” Sapphire Spider said punching the Ursa back words before Dillan could get there. “The Power ponies are here!” He yelled as all of the power ponies in ponyville appeared in front of the Ursa. “I'll help defend ponyville as well, even if it's not my world it's what a prince is supposed to do.” Dillan said getting all the power ponies to look at him. “You ponies are so predictable… the second a stranger appears all attention goes to them and you forget the monster right in front of you...” Phantom Knight says as he walks out of an alleyway. “He has a point, seeing as we are all here how about some team work?” Dillan suggested. “I'm game.” Sapphire Spider said nodding. “How about you Phantom?” “The rookies need to first see the capabilities of the veterans before they can be able to help!” Phantom knight laughed before charging past the Power Ponies and right at the ursa. He then wrapped his arms around one of its toes and hefted it over his head. “Four!” He shouted. “You did not just call me a newbie!” Dillan said as he slapped his Ultimatrix and transformed into a bipedal insect like creature. “i'm more experienced than you!” He said punching the Ursa out of Phantoms arms and sending it near the forest. “I was mostly referring to the Power Ponies but meh…” Phantom Knight said with a shrug before he dashed after the Ursa. “Sorry about that, Double D took over for a moment.” Dillan said. “I just noticed this is my first time useing Molecule in battle.” Molecule said flying next to Phantom as Sapphire caught up. “Thanks for ditching me.” Sapphire Spider said. “I told the power ponies that the three of us could handle it, I also gave them the remaining Dragon balls.” He said as they reached the Ursa. “Ok, Sapphire Spider you distract the Ursa while I grab it and Molecule will knock it back into the everfree, Got it?” Phantom knight said in a serious tone, taking the role of leader. The Ursa let out a loud roar that sent shockwaves through the town. Translation finished. The Ultimatrix beeped. “Translation?” Sapphire said in confusion. ‘I mean you no harm, I need your help.’ The Ultimatrix beeped in translation. That made Phantom knight frese in place. “What did it say?” He asked in a dark tone. “It said I needs our help and that it meant us no harm.”Dillan said transforming back. “Why? Is something wrong?” “If a Ursa is asking for help it means bad news.” Phantom Knight said vaguely. “OK, Ultimatrix Translation mode outward to the Ursa.” Dillan said as a circle surrounded the Ursa. “There you go, now what happened and how can we help?” “A pack of ghouls has captured my child and mate, I need help rescuing them.” The Ursa said. “I'll do anything, I would have saved them myself but they said they would kill them if I didn't oby them.” The now concerned male Ursa major said. “What do you to think? Should we help? It might be a trap.” Albert said as he took of his mask and dissolved his kagune. “I don't want to see a cub and its mother die, but how can we be sure?” He said looking the Ursa up and down. “Where is this pack of ghouls?” Phantom knight asked the Ursa major in a dark tone. “They reside within the old gordge, the one where the Rainbow maned pegasus got injured.” The Major replied. “I know that gorge, but how did you know about Dash getting hurt there?” Dillan said narrowing his eyes at the Major. “Me and my son were walking along side the gorge the day she was racing all of those pets.” He replies. “And so you don't keep calling me Ursa, or Major. My name is Constant, Constellar Constant.” “What do you think Phantom?” Dillan asked. “Should we help? Because I'm with Albert. I don't really want to stand bye and watch a mother and child die, but how do we know?” He said scratching his head. He then turned to look at Phantom Knight when he didn't respond only to find him missing. “I guess we're going to help.” Albert said chuckling. “Yup, hey constant could you give us a ride?” Dillan asked. “Very well climb aboard.” Constellar constant said. Dillan, and Albert climbed onto constellar constant’s back and were on there way to the gorge. When they arrived Phantom was looking down into the gorge from a tree. “Do you see the ghouls?” Dillan asked jumping up next to him. “I see dead meet.” Phantom said before leaping into the gorge. “Welp.” Dillan said jumping down. “Constellar you stay here, we can't let them see you. Let's go Albert.” He said jumping into the gorge. “Right.” Albert said following him. He landed right next to Dillan, and Max who were facing the pack of ghouls. “Ok you filthy animals, Give me one reason I should spare your lives.” Phantom hissed at the feral ghouls that were surrounding the ursa’s. “Well, how about the fact that our leader is here with us.” One ghoul laughed evilly. “And just who is your leader?” Dillan asked. “I am” A white anthro unicorn male said stepping forward. He had blond/golden hair with a compass cutie mark. “I am blueblood.” “Great, the pompous prince is a ghoul… I wonder how that happened.” Phantom snarked. “Simple, I chose to become a half ghoul. I wanted the power that comes with being a ghoul.” Blue blood said with an evil grin. “Well, aren't you still as pompous as ever.” Albert said. ”You're worse than the Blueblood from the show.” “The what?” Blueblood said. “It doesn't matter cause you'll be dead soon.” Dillan said with a grin. “Right Phantom?” “Since he is now a ghoul? Definitely.” Phantom says as he starts to walk slowly over to Blueblood and his cronies. “Same here.” Albert said summoning his kagune. “OK then, let's have some fun.” Dillan said cracking his neck. “Ultimatrix, Hoops.” He said shifting into a small golden creature that was flouting. He had two rings on each horn and one around his waist. “Hoopa is strong!” He shouted. “Wow! How did you get a scan of hoppa?” Albert asked. “Dragon balls of my dimension, I also have each Legendary and each mega evolution pokemon.” Hoops said walking the symbol making an aura surround him making him turn into hoopa unbound. “Wow!” Albert said amazed. “Ehehe, where you surprised?” Unbound Hoops asked. “I,ve wanted to say that ever since I got this scan!” “Let's just shred them already.” Phantom growled as he grew a second set of arms. “Right, but if blueblood is the leader then he's the strongest. so i'll take care of the henchmen first. ALAY HOOPA RING!” Hoops shouted making the rings suck up all of the ghouls except blue blood. “Would you'd do the honors phantom?” Dillan said turning back. “Gladly.” Phantom said as he grew two stories tall.”Any last words?” He asked as he pounded his four fists together. “You may be big, but i've had training!” Blueblood said summoning his kagune. His kagune was two big wings the wings were blue with a pure white trim. “Training aint got shit on life experience!” Phantom shouted as he smashed Blueblood into the ground with one of his fists. “Ow!” Blue blood said getting out of the hole. “You'll pay for that!” He yelled flying up to Phantom's face, and shooting shards at him. Phantom let the shards hit the kagune covering his face, bouncing off harmlessly. “Pathetic, You are a child facing off against a monster. Do you really think you could do anything to me?” He said as he grabbed Blueblood by his kagune. “W-well...um...maybe…” Was all Blueblood could say as he disintegrated his kagune, only to have Phantom grab him by the leg. “Like I said, You're facing off against a Monster.” Phantom said as his voice slowly turned demonic. “UNHAND OUR NEPHEW! YOU FOUL BEAST!” A voice called as a blast of magic knocked Blueblood out of Phantoms hand. “Who dares to interfere?” Phantom demanded, making sure to not let Blueblood out of his sight. “WE DO!” Luna said appearing in front of Phantom with Celestia, all of ponyville watching. “Hey! Wait!” Sapphire spider shouted. “It's not what you think, we came after Blueblood because him and his cronys were trying to poach an ursa major, and its cub. We were just trying to protect innocent lives!” “WE SHALL NOT BE FOOLED BY VIGILANTEES!” Luna shouted. “I'm not a vigilante! I'm a Power pony!” Sapphire argued. “Ask Filly Second!” “IF THOU WAS A POWER PONY YOUR TEAM WOULD BE HERE WITH THOU!” Luna retorted, brandishing her sword. “I asked them to stay behind! I…” Saphire spider said before he was cut off by phantom. “Stand down Sapphire… You go back to your team and inform them of the situation. I will deal with the half ghoul and the princesses.” Phantom hissed. “O...Ok! Dillan Could you teleport me to the hall?” Sapphire asked. “Of course! Ultimatrix catastrophe!” Dillan said shifting into a deconoquess and teleporting Albert and himself away. {Power Ponies hall} “What do you mean you let the rookie handle it!?” Filly second shouted. “Him and his alien friend had it under control!” Silvermoon defended. “You mean the pair that are on their way here?” Pony pool quipped seconds before Sapphire and Dillan appeared in the room. “Everypony! We need Help!” Sapphire said. “Princess Luna is attacking Phantom night.” He said in a concerned voice. “WHAT!? WHY IS PHANTOM KNIGHT FIGHTING LUNA!?” Everypony shouted in unison. “Because Phantom, Albert, and myself were fighting and trying to capture blue blood.” Dillan said. “He has turned himself into a half ghoul and tried poaching an ursa major and her cub in order to force the male to attack ponyville. We were able to fight him off, that is until luna jumped to conclusions.” Dillan said finishing the explanation. “She believes all three of us are vigilantes and won't listen to reason.” “I tried to tell her that I was a power pony but she wouldn't believe me, we need your help.” Sapphire asked. “please.” The ponies just stared at them dumbstruck, letting the info bomb sink in. “We need to get over there now!” Filly second shouted causing all the power ponies in the room to mobilize. “Leave it to me!” Dillan said. “Ultimatrix Cyclone!” He yelled shifting into his Cyclone form. “Why Cyclone? Why not Catastrophe?” Sapphire asked as the others were preparing to leave. “Oh and Filly second, please bring the dragon balls as well. We may need them.” He asked her. Filly quickly shook her and zipped off and back with the bag. “Good idea, and I like to mix it up.” Dillan said snapping his fingers making everypony disappear in a flash of light. {In the gorge} “We will not stand for your insolence Phantom night! You, and your allies will pay for trying to hurt our nephew!” Luna shouted blasting him in the arm. “You think that will stop me!? I will not let blue blood get away with what he has done!” Phantom said slashing at Luna while Celestia looked towards blue blood. “We will not stand for you insulting our nephew!” Luna shouted as Sapphire, Dillan, and the power ponies appeared. “Then maybe your nephew, shouldn't have tried to poach an Ursa major and its cub!” Dillan shouted at Luna. “So! The other vigilantes are back” Luna shouted blasting at Dillan. Dillan was able to dodge and Sapphire stepped up. “We are not vigilantes! Phantom is but I'm a power pony, and Dillan is a prince!” Sapphire said shocking everyone there. “You think I care?” Blue blood said making everyone look towards him. “You three ruined my plans so now I'll kill all of you! Just like these two!” He said pointing to the destroyed bodies of the Ursa and cub. “W-what? Blueblood! What have you done!” Luna said. “You bastard! You will pay with your life!” Phantom shouted as he lunged for Blueblood. Blueblood sidestepped his attack and roundhouse kicked him into a wall. Sapphire watched on as his friend was being better. He also couldn't look away from the bodies, even when Phantom was kicked right next to him. “Damn you! How are you this getting now!?” Phantom shouted. “You'd be surprised what you'd be able to do when you eat not one but two ursas.” Blueblood said with an evil grin. Blueblood started storing energy in his horn and laughed evilly as he released it all in the direction of the crowed. Everyone in the crowd ran for cover except the crusaders. The cutie mark crusaders were frozen in fear, they couldn't even here everypony (mainly Applejack, Rarity, and rainbow dash) yelling at them to get out of the way. “No!” Sapphire yelled as he jumped in front of the blast and took it head on. Time seemed to slow down as the blast hit him everypony watched in horror. “SAPPHIRE!!” The CMC yelled as he was screaming in pain. The blast subsided, and Sapphires costume and mask had cracks in it. He looked towards the crusaders as the right sides eyepiece of his mask cracked and broke off. “You girls ok?” He asked. The crusaders were dumfounded as all three of them realised who the Sapphire spider really was. “Albert?” Sweetie Belle whispered. “Please don't tell anypony, Pinkie is the only pony to know right now.” Albert said to them. The three nodded their heads and ran to their sisters. “Not so fast!” Blueblood yelled sending another blast at them. Once again Albert blocked the attack, however this time it hit the dead center of his mask making it shatter fully revealing his identity. “ALBERT!?” Celestia,Luna, and the mane six except for Pinkie yelled. “BLUEBLOOD!” Albert yelled as the wind began to pick up around him. “you've gone too far! You killed two innocent creatures, beat up my friend, and now you attack innocent children!” He yelled as the wind and dirt began to go out ward from him. “Whats going on?” Phantom asked. “Albert is about to turn into a super sayian.” Dillan said surprising Phantom and confusing everyone else. “How!?” Phantom shouted. “You just spliced his DNA with a saiyans how is that possible!?” “Simple, the less sayin dna there is the more powerful the saiyan.” Dillan explained. “Seeing as I spliced him with two dna`s add in his original, you get a very powerful creature. Then add the fact that he cares for his friends, and children apparently, then multiply the fact that he gets pissed when seeing them in danger or getting hurt what do you get?” “I don't believe this.” Phantom said putting his head in his hands. “Hahahaha” Blue blood laughed drawing the attention of everypony. “you think I give a shit about those children!?” He laughed at Albert. “I just want power and to do what i want and i'll do whatever it takes to get it.” “So you don't care about killing a child, and what about your allys?” Albert said. “They're just pawns, and no i don't care about killing a child. Children are just annoying little bastards!” Blueblood yelled making the crusaders cry. “You son of a bitch!” Albert yelled summoning his kagune increasing his power ten fold. “No one makes my friends cry, I'll kill you for all that you've done!” Albert yelled as the wind and dust went away from in again in a flash, and his hair and kagune changed colors. His eyes become a teal color, and his hair was now blond. His kagune was now a reddish orange color. “Now prepare to die!” Albert shouted lunging at Blueblood. Blueblood was able to dodge the first punch but failed to dodge the elbow that albert had implanted into his nose. Blueblood threw a punch that Albert was able to doge and in front of everypony he grabbed his arm and put it on his knee getting ready to break it. “Please don't break my arm.” Blueblood asked. “No.” Albert said snapping blueblood's arm in two. The scream could be hard all the way to Canterlot. Albert grabbed Bluebloods broken arm and spun him around and around until he threw him into the sky. “You bitch! you think you're cute by breaking my arm don't you!?” Blueblood yelled summoning his wings to stop his flight. He saw Albert with his hands cupped and a blue ball of energy formed within it. “Bitch i'm adorable Kamehameha!” Albert yelled sending the blast straight to blue blood. when it hit him Blue blood exploded and vanished. Albert took a breath and breathed out turning back to normal. “Nice job Albert.” Dillan said as he and Phantom walked up to him. “Yeah, too bad i couldn't eat him though.” Phantom said. “Too bad.” Albert said as all of the inhabitants of ponyville and the princesses approached. “Hehehe… hi” “Nice job Alby, but what did you do to blue blood?” Pinkie asked. “Killed him.” Albert said with a frown. “I couldn't live with myself if he stayed alive the way he was. “You knew Albert was the Sapphire Spider!?” Twilight yelled at Pinkie. “Yup. I'm the one who made his mask.” Pinkie said with a smile. “Yeah… sorry about that, also i'm going to have to erase your memories.” Albert said to everypony. “If any villains that are against the power ponies found out you knew my identity youde all be in danger. Filly second can i see the dragon balls please?” He said as he took the bag from filly second. “Um…” The crusaders began as Albert looked to them. “Thank you for saving us, could we please remember your secret we promise we won't tell anypony. We don't want to forget your kindness.” They said with verry big puppy dog eyes. “... I can't say no to those eyes, ok fine” Albert said summoning Dragoul. “Dragoul I wish that Constellar Constants mate and cub were alive!” “Your wish is granted” Dragoul said as the ursa major and cube appeared in front of the dragon and ran over to Constellar Constant. “Oh thank you, how could i repay any of you?” Constant asked. “Could i scan your dna?” Dillan asked. “Sure.” Constant replied as a yellow beam was sent over him. “Your wish is granted farewell.” Dragoul said disappearing. “Um…” Twilight said. “We still remember.” “Dillan, could we?” Albert begain. “Sure.” Dillan said transforming into cordio and pulling out his set of dragon balls. “Shenlock rise!” Dillan said summoning his dragon. “What do you want?” Shenlock asked. “I wish that everypony except for Pinkie, the princesses, the power ponies, and the crusaders forgot about my secret.” Albert said. “Very well, have a good nap.” Shenlock said as everyone except for the ones who still remembered fell to the ground. “Why do we still remember?” Celestia asked. “Yeah?” Filly second asked. “Because your my allies, I trust you.” Albert said to the power ponies, Phantom, and Dillan. “And you still remember, incase something comes up and you need help and ‘sapphire spider’ can't be found.” “Oh” They all said together smiling. “Shenlock I wish all of these ponies and the crusaders were all home and in bed.” Dillan said. “You three need to get some sleep it's gotten late.” He said to the crusaders. “Very well.” shenlock said as all of the sleeping ponies, and the crusaders were all teleported to their individual homes. “I wish that every pony except the same ones from the previous wish forgot about the dragon balls.” Phantom said. “Very well.” Shenlock said. “What are your last two wishes. “I wish the mask that Pinkie made me was fixed.” Albert said. “Ok? but why not just wish for a better one?” Shenlock asked as the mask was repared. A Slight blush appeared on Albert's face. “Because this one is special to me.” He said looking away as a blush appeared on Pinkie's face. “So what do you want the last wish to be?” Dillan asked. “I have an idea.” Phantom said. “Shenlock i wish that Albert's original mask was here but had some aspects of me into it.” “Very well.” shenlock said returning into the dragon balls as the new/ old mask appeared. “Ok… why?” Albert asked. “Simple, Dillan has to go home soon so we can use this as a token.” Phantom said holding up the mask to Albert. Albert grabbed the opposite side of the mask as the two of them began their oath. “My name is Albert Aka the sapphire spider.” Albert said. “And my name is Phantom night, i'll tell you my real name when we meet.” Phantom said. “If you need help call us.” They said together. Once they were finished they handed the mask to Dillan, who turned into catastrophe and opened a portal into the multiverse and tew the token in. He then summoned another one. “Well, I guess that's it Dillan our contract is complete.” Albert said. “Thanks for the fun time, see ya latter.” Dillan said as he disappeared and every pony when there separate ways. //-------------------------------------------------------// The meeting //-------------------------------------------------------// The meeting Albert and Pinkie were walking around ponyville. It has been a week since Alberts defeat of blue blood. Princess Celestia and Luna apologized profusely to Phantom night and Albert feeling horrible about what happened. Princess Celestia and Luna invited Albert and Pinkie to the castle for a meeting. “What do you think the princesses want?” Albert asked. “Maybe they want to throw a party! A thanks for saving us and equestria from our evil nephew party!” Pinkie said bouncing. “I don't think the princesses would talk badly about their nephew like, that they're not like that.” Albert replied. “... True” Pinkie said. “OK maybe it's just a thank you party for the Sapphire Spider?” “Then they would have asked me to come as Sapphire wouldn't they?” He said. “Oh… right.” She said as they boarded the train. “Well they must have a good reason to ask us to come,I also heard that they asked some others to come too” Albert said sitting down. “I know it's not the other elements so I wonder who it is.” He said as someone tapped his shoulder. “Who'd You think?” Max said sitting across from them. “Oh I should have guessed, what do you think they wanted to talk to us about?” Albert asked Max. “How am I supposed to know?” Max responded. “... Sorry but I thought you might know.” Albert said shrugging. “Maybe they wanted to thank us.” Max said. “For what? They only know my secret not yours… right?” Albert said. “Well seeing as the ‘Phantom night appeared right after me’” Max said in a whisper. “They might know.” “OK… that's unexpected, and I'm surprised Twilight doesn't know.” Albert said as the train pulled into canterlot. “I mean she nearly found me out on my first day.” “I know right? I was always expecting to be strapped to a table, but Twi isn't that observant is she?” Max said as they walked up to the castle ignoring the stares. “So this is your first time in canterlot to?” Albert asked. “No, but they never stop staring. I first came here during the whole canterlot seeing fiasco.” Max replies. “Halt creatures! State your business!” The guards at the gate said. “You wanna get something to eat afterwards?” Albert asked ignoring the guards and walking passed them. “Sure!” Pinkie said bouncing. “Eh. Why not.” Max said. “I said halt!” The guard said throwing a spear as Albert, he just caught it and through it to the ground. “You'll have to be better than that!” He Shouted. He then flashed a letter at another guard. “Its OK! They're here for the meeting!” The guard yelled. They knocked on the door to the castle, waited a few moments until a young mare wearing an apron ancerd. “Yes?” She said in a voice that reminded Albert of a mother. “Can I help you?” “We're here to see the princess.” Albert said. “the princesses are in a meeting, you'll have to…” She was cut off by Max. “We’re in the meeting.” He said holding up the letter, Albert doing the same. “Oh… my mistake please come in.” She said letting them in and then leading them too a big fancy door after going down some stairs. She knocked on the door, and they heard the princess call. ‘Yes?’ The mare then opened the door and announced them. “Your Majesty's three more for the meeting.” She said letting Albert, Pinkie, and Max into the room. “Ah yes, thank you. You may leave.” Celestia said. “Yes your Majesty.” The mare said closing the door. The three of them noticed that the other members of the meeting was princess: celestia, Luna, Cadence, and prince shining armor. “Um… I'm sorry but why are we here? This seems like an important meeting of royals.” Albert said. “You are not completely wrong mr… Albert is it?” Shining armor asked. Albert nodded his head. “We have gotten reports from all over equus that citizens have been disappearing, the only thing connecting these disappearances is that all of the witnesses have seen this creature.” He said sliding them a photo. https://camo.derpicdn.net/1894e9eb1002f7f4c543f48540ce36910ee20c88?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpre09.deviantart.net%2F2e40%2Fth%2Fpre%2Fi%2F2012%2F145%2F8%2F6%2Fslendermane___commission_by_spittfireart-d5113at.png “Dear faust!” Albert exclaimed. “You know this creature… Albert?” Princess Celestia asked all heads turning to him. “It's a pony version of a creature called slenderman.” Albert said shaking his head. “Right there's a slenderman I'm my world to, so why is one here?” Max asked aloud. “Who knows.” Albert said. “The multiverse is turd sometimes, sorry for the language. “ He said to the royalls. “So what do we do?” Celestia asked. “Not sure.” Albert said. “I was taken from my world before I could finish the legend, Max?” “I finished it but I can't remember, I've been here for years now.” He replied. “Well we would like the three of you to look for this… um” Luna said. “Slendermane.” Albert said looking at the picture not noticing the looks he was given. “In my world I heard of bronies, (me being one of them) creating ponies versions of other characters/ legends. This is one of them,the bronies call it slendermane.” He explained. Max then explained what a brony is. “I see, so can you look for this… slendermane?” Cadence asked. “Us? Why us?” Max asked. “Because of Pinkies… abilities, You being Phantom nights surrogate (Luna growls at phantom's name), and Albert being Sapphire Spider.” Celestia said before covering her mouth thinking she just told a huge secret. “Don't worry Max already new.” Alberts said smiling. “So you want us to track down slendermane and get the missing citizens back then?” He said. “Pretty much.” Shining said shrugging. “I guess I'll ask Phantom.” Max said. “I'm in!” Pinkie said happily. “Me two.” Albert said as the royals smiled. “However…” He Said making the smiles vanish. “If anything happens to Pinkie, or Phantom because of this mission, and I find out about it I'll personally slap each of you into the closest wall. I know we all agreed to do this of our own accord but that doesn't leave out the fact that you assigned us this mission in the first place.” He said leaving as the other two following him, leaving the Royals dumfounded.
