"So, let me get this straight..." I say, drinking some coffee that my Timberwolf friend, who I've named "Alfred", took sneakily from a coffee shop in Ponyville, as Sweetie Belle stands in front of me...

"... You want to become my apprentice?" I say, looking at Sweetie Belle as I sit on a still usable chair, a not-as-broken table next to me, made out of boreal, my coffee sitting on said table...

"Yes." She said, taking a seat on my lap, making me blush...

"May I ask why?" I say, as I knew that I would be erect/have a nosebleed if I was still a human... actually, do I still have a penis? ... Huh, I do. It's just... metallic. And long as fuck.

Eh. I'm still a man if I have it.

Suddenly, lewd as all hell images enter my mind of me fucking a more mature, busty, and sexy Sweetie Belle in various sex positions, fucking her brains out as she moans my name...

I shake my head, as she says "Because, you, despite "Asphyxious" and his friend giving me this leg, you are the one that saved me... that, and..."

She blushes at the last bit, saying "... your cute... and handsome."

I hear this clearly, before I pick Sweetie Belle up and I kiss her cheek, making her turn a new shade of red that could put tomatoes to shame...

"Same to you, beautiful." I say, smirking, as I have her face me...

She eeps at this and accidentally falls forward, making her kiss me, on the lips...

... Annddd... now I'm horny.

I then notice how she's relaxing into the kiss, before I tap her shoulder, making her open her eyes, realizing what was happening, before she jumps off and blushes bright red, embarrassed, as I smile and I then pick her up, before I say "You are now my apprentice, Sweetie Belle."...

She looks at me, surprised, before she kisses me again, repeatedly, before she says "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou-!", until I put a hand to her mouth and say "Your welcome, Sweetie. However, I first need to find a way to access my OWN magic. Then, I can train you, alright?"

She nods and lets out a happy squee, before she runs out, happy, making me chuckle, before I sigh and say "Well, let's check the library, first..."

I then walk out of my room, which was formerly Princess Luna's room, as I gave the CMC Princess Sunbutt's old room, and I head to the main floor of the Castle, before I then look for a way downstairs, as I remember there being a staircase to the lower levels, and the library, before I find it behind an old bookcase...

I moved the bookcase aside (moved it aside and kicked it are the same thing for L.M.) and I soon went down to the "basement," if you could call it that, and I then found the library after walking down one of the halls...

I smirked and looked around for quite book or something to allow me to access my magic, but, instead, I found something else...

I then walked up to what I found and I gasped...

I found the statue of one of the most talented and historical unicorns in Equestria...

... Star Swirl the Bearded.

However, I then heard hissing, as I then realized what had happened, as I say "Aww... crap.", before I get out the Crescent Rose and I immediately slash to my right...

... I did not expect to hit the source of the hissing, though.

I then heard a pained hiss of agony, before I hear a thump and I look towards the source, seeing a now dead basilisk on the ground, bleeding, as I let out a sigh of relief, before I look at the petrified form of Star Swirl and say "Star Swirl, we may have never met before, but I promise you that I will set you free... even if I have to give up my own life to save yours..."

I then notice something, as I blinked, noticing that Star Swirl, despite being in his petrified state, moved, and was now pointing at a potion on the shelf and a book, before I pull the potion and book off, as I blink again, now realizing Star Swirl was like a Weeping Angel from Doctor Who, as I smile, noticing that he was pointing to himself and the potion, "telling" me to apply the potion to his petrified body...

"Alright, but after I do, I need you to send a message to the Princess, saying that you aren't dead after all. It's time that you come back, anyway..." I say, as I blink a couple times, as he nods his head with each blink before I grin and I say "Well, Star Swirl, welcome back to Equestria, buddy!", before I pour the entire potion onto him...

After a minute, his petrified form began to crack, pieces of it cracking off, revealing his body, before every bit of stone came off of him, as he gasped for breath and landed on the floor, panting, as I go over to him and I help him up, as he coughs, wheezing...

I wait for him to stop, as he then sits in a chair and breathes calmly, before he looks at me and says, his voice young, surprisingly, and wise, "Alright, I'm good... I'm good... ugh... Now, who are you?"...

I smile and I say, putting the Crescent Rose on my back as I spoke, "Name's Lord Metarex, but you may call me L.M., Star Swirl..."

He then says "Thank you for freeing me, your highness (which made L.M. raise an eyebrow)... I was trapped in my stone prison for who knows how long... I now know how the God of Chaos, Discord, felt, when he was turned to stone..."
I laugh sheepishly, immediately raising red flags for him, as he says "What?"...

"Star Swirl... you were in your stone prison for 1,000 years." I say, rubbing my head sheepishly, as he takes a moment to absorb this...

... and he then blasts a bolt of magic at my crotch, making me, on instinct, cover my crotch as I fall to the floor, groaning...

"... WHAT IN THE NAME OF TARTARUS WAS THAT FOR!?" I yell, in pain...

"It has not been a thousand years! It hasn't!" He says, not believe it to be over 1,000 years since he was petrified...

"Sorry, but it has, buddy. On the upside, 'ol Sunbutt has a student that is on par with you in terms of magic." I say, catching his attention...

"Wait, what?" He says, surprised...

"Celestia, or Sunbutt, as I call her, now has a prized student named Twilight Sparkle, who just so happens to be the little sister of the new captain of the Royal Guard, Shining Armor." I repeat to him, as I then slowly get up and grab the book, as I lead him out of the library...

".... Ok, it's best if I ask this first, so that I don't die from shock... How much have we evolved in terms of appearance?" He asks, as I respond, saying "Same as it was 1,000 years ago, but in terms of technology, it's advanced."...

"How so?" He says, as I then say "There are Trains, Princess Luna is back, new magic spells, machinery, and some others."...

His jaw drops at this, as I laugh and say "Wait till you see the Princesses Castle, Star Swirl!", as I lead him to the main floor of the Castle, allowing him to see what remains of the Castle...

"W...what happened?" Star Swirl said, as I then replied "Shit hit the fan when Princess Luna was sealed away for a thousand years. When Luna was banished, Celestia and the others abandoned the castle and took residence up on the mountain."

I then pointed to Canterlot in the distance, making Star Swirl gasp...

"Currently, me, and some ponies and some Timberwolves, are living here... I'm thinking of fixing the place up a bit, or leaving it like this, as I like the atmosphere of this place- dark, mysterious, and creepy, but very nice, despite it's state, and VERY roomy..." I say, as I then look around, smiling...

"... But, what about Discord, Tirek, Chrysalis, or KING SOMBRA!?" Star Swirl asked loudly...

"Tirek is still in Tartarus, but I have a feeling he's close to escaping. Discord, well, I don't know. He could be still in stone (given if it's Season 2, the beginning), but I don't know. Chrysalis is unknown as well... and King Sombra, well... don't tell the Princesses or anyone/anypony else, but he's coming back, along with the Crystal Empire." I answered, although I think I made him shocked and surprised at the same time...

... that is, until I saw Alfred looking at us from his bed, which was made of leaves, bark, and vines, making it look like a giant dog bed...

"... Alfred, could you get some parchment and some ink from Ponyville? Star Swirl is going to write a letter..." I asked, before Alfred nodded and got up, before he went to Ponyville, sneakily... I just don't understand how in the eight or nine hells he's able to...

"Anyway, you can go back to your study for the time being before Alfred gets back." I say to Star Swirl, who slowly nods and then begins to go back to his study, still confused...

I sigh and say to myself "... It's gonna be a long day..."

I then shake my head and go back to my room, before I then sit in my chair, opening the book Star Swirl had pointed at when he was still in stone...

I then read the cover, which was still in great condition, as it said "Magic and Alchemy 101"...

I smiled and I began to read the book, starting at Page 14, which showed how to access one's magic...

I soon read the entire book, before I grinned and said "Well, time to practice."

I then got out of my room and went to the outside of the castle, into a clearing, which was fairly large...

I then smiled and held my hand out, focusing my magic into my hand, before I heard a "POMF!"...

I then looked at my hand and noticed a ball of magic, but it was Dark Magic... I was expecting normal magic, like Twilight's or Rarity's, but eh...

I grinned and I then focused more of my magic, making it bigger, before I hurled the ball of Dark Magic at a nearby boulder, making the boulder shatter into a thousand pieces...

"Ok, let's see if I have Changeling Magic..." I said to myself, before I then focused my magic again, but I wasn't focusing my Dark Magic...

Soon enough, I felt my body changing, morphing to that of a pony, an anthro, but still...

However, I made the mistake of turning into a busty Fluttershy...

"Holy-!" I said, before I realized my voice was now that of Fluttershy's...

"Well, it worked!" I said, as I put my hand on my hip, before noticing my body...

"... Holy Fuck." I said, as I grabbed my giant breasts, making myself moan in pleasure...

"Ok, that's a keeper." I added, before I turned back into my original self, well, my robotic self, that is, but I made my voice normalish, as I did want to have a more normal voice, to not scare the others...

"Ok, now, let's try Chaos Magic." I said, as I focused my magic again...

The area soon began to change, as Cotton Candy Clouds appeared, making me smile...

I then turned the area back to normal, before I said "Dream/Nightmare Magic next."

I did it again, before I felt my hands and my electric blue eye glowing the same colors as Luna's mane and magic aura, making me smile...

"And now... Tirek's Magic." I said, before I focused my magic again, as I soon felt magical beings around me...

I then opened my mouth and I began to absorb the magic of the closest magical being, stealing it's magic, and making myself stronger...

I then have it back its magic and said "Well, this is great! I can now use magic!"

I grinned and I then channelled all of my magic through my body, as I then held my hand out and blasted a boulder with one of each type of my magic, obliterating the boulder...

I then sighed happily, before I remembered something and said "Wait... I almost forgot..."

I then focused my magic through my back, as I felt something sprouting from my back...

I then heard a snap, as two, giant wings appeared from my back, but, they were made of Metal bones, with black lightning arcing from them...

I let out a "squee" of joy, but I then said "Actually..."

I then dispersed the wings, making them go back into my back, as I said "I'll try them out later."

"Well, I can't WAIT to see Sweetie Belle's reaction to me now!"

Author's Note

Special thanks to Dragonborne Fox for saving a copy of both Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of The Newest Displacer. And since I can't rearrange them due to being on a mobile device (I don't have a working laptop at the moment), they will have to stay out of order. Sorry.

Edit: My laptop is now working, so both chapters are in their original places, now!
