Errors eyes slowly opened as he woke himself up. Instead of the ceiling of his bedroom to greet him, it was the blue morning sky. Confused, Error sat up and looked around, finding himself in a field near Ponyville. "Oh g-g-geez, did I f-fall asleep out here-here?" He r in bed the back of his head and wiped the grass off of his back before standing up and doing some streches. "Well, I'd b-b-better get to the cave-ave for bre-re-reakfast, otherwise T-Tori will get annoyed at me."

He was about to glitch through reality back to the cave when he suddenly sensed two powerful energy sources enter the world.

"O-Oh no..."

Meanwhile

Toriel opened her eyes to find that she was still alone in the bed. Confused she rubbed her eyes and sat up slowly, looking around to try and find any trace of her lover, but found nothing. "Ok...he's either still out in the void or he fell asleep somewhere again..." She yawned and slowly got out of the bed to prepare some breakfast. Suddenly, she started to feel sick in her stomach, causing her to rush to the bathroom where she vomited into the toilet. After getting her breathing under control she placed a have to her belly and sighed. "I need to find a way to cover that up for when Garic is here."

Standing up, she slowly made her way to the kitchen. Once her stomach had settled she breathed through her nose and sighed as she looked to her belly which gently rubbing it.

"I'll tell you one thing, you've certainly got timing..." Taking in another breath, she slightly quickened her pace. Once she reached the kitchen she immediately began preparing pancakes for herself and her fiancé, but her slightly shaky hands made it difficult for her.

"Would you like a hand?"

Toriel was used to people showing up suddenly out of nowhere after living with Error for so long. She turned around and found Author standing there with an open book in his hand and a gentle smile on his face. "Oh, Author, I wasn't expecting to see you." Toriel said in pleasant suprise.

"Well. I figured I'd pay you a visit since we haven't seen each other in over a thousand years." Author responded with a warm smile and looked to her stomach. "That, and I figured you'd like to talk about what you are expecting."

Toriels smile faded to a frown. "Oh...so you know..."

"Of course I do, I monitor all of my displaceds health and stability. So, I found out that you were pregnant once I sensed another soul beginning to develop inside of you."

Toriel raised a brow. "You monitor us?"

Author rolled his eyes and closed his book. "I don't watch you, I just know if you're hurt, in danger or your life forces are alright. I'd rather not watch whatever my displaced do in their spare time, especially you and Garic."

Toriel blushed slightly and shook her head. "Well, that makes sense I guess."

Author nodded and walked over to his displaced and took the utensils out of her hands and motioned for her to sit down. "Alright, then why don't you talk about this while I make you something to eat?"

In a large field on the other side of Canterlot Mountain

"Alright, t-t-the energy sources-es are somewhere around h-here." Error spoke quietly as he looked around, trying to pinpoint the locations of each of the newcomers in the world. He began feeling a large pulse of broken energy coming from a few feet to his right. Turning he slowly walked over to what appeared to be a shard of a broken mirror lightly floating in between the blades of tall grass. "W-What's this?"

When he reached down to picked it up, he pulled his hand back after feeling something odd about it. It's code was frozen, unmoving and unchanging. Essentially, frozen in time. He slipped his hand under it and it hovered over his skeletal palm. He held it up to his face and stared into it, seeing what appeared to be Ponyville in a world full of glitches.

Suddenly, he felt the other source of energy coming towards his location at blinding speeds. He barely had time to react as something zoomed past him, cooking to a stop just a few feet away. When Error regained his composure he looked over to see another displaced.

The shiny robot version of Sonic the Hedgehog stood there looking at him. "Hey buddy, I'm gonna need that portal shard there, could you please hand it over?" He asked with the voice of a young man mixed with a robotic buzz.

Error smirked, knowing who it was. "W-Well, this is c-c-certainly a suprise, I didn't-didn't expect to find another-other one of A-Author's displaced here."

"Yeah, real exciting. Look, I'm really busy and I really need that shard, can you just give it to me? He asked impatiently.

Errors smirked faded. "And w-what exactly would y-you be needing a shard to a b-broken world for?"

"That's my own business pal, I know you're one of Author's displaced so just give it to me so I don't have to fight you. I am in no mood to fight today and you know I'd just kick your ass all over the multiverse and beyond."

'This guys code is messed up too...he's out of sinc with reality...or is he just in a period ahead of his current timeline?' Error quickly opened a hole in reality to Metals world and saw him there before closing the hole. 'Ahead of time it is then.'

"Fine, I'll just take it. Chaos Control!" Suddenly time stopped in the world and Metal walked over to the frozen Error and took the shard in his claw. "There we go..." He pulled out a small sack filled with other shards and set it in before placing the bag in his storage unit. "Alright, I'm done here." He walked away and snapped his fingers, causing time to return to normal.

Error blinked and looked to his empty hand and smirked. "O-Oh you cheeky li-little..." He looked to Metal walking away and summoned three Gaster Blasters.

Metal sensed them and instantly moved a full foot to his side and avoided the blasts before turning around and scanning the Blasters. "Gaster Blaster data retrieved..." He spoke automatically before snapping his fingers, summoning three of his own Blasters, only dark blue instead of black and fired them, destroying Errors on Blasters. "You knew that wouldn't work."

"I-I-I know, just wanted a little revenge after you-you cheated me t-there." Error chuckled.

Metal rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers, causing a portal to the void to open beside him. "Well, I got what I came here for, I'm outta here. If Author asks if I was here you didn't see anything."

Error tilted his head in confusion. "I'm guessing y-you'll be back here-ere eventually?"

Metal shrugged and jumped into the portal, causing it to close behind him.

Error glitched back underground and chuckled. "Crazy k-kids..."

Author's Note

Yep, a little appearance from my first displaced story. If you'd like to see more of Metal, you can check out his story here.

Metal will be appearing in a more important arc later on, right now we're just getting a few things established before continuing with the main plot. Another error will appear soon.
