Chapters The Ponies, The Heart, and The Guardian Poltergeist...
'Cause the world might do me in...
... Pain.
That is all I could feel at the moment. Pain. Lots of pain... enough to make me go unconscious multiple times.
Each time, I was able to stay conscious a little longer, though.
The last time, though, kept me awake the entire time...
... unfortunately, I was unable to escape my "prison".
I could see what was going on and what was happening around me, I Just couldn't escape. I could walk around, but when I looked at my hands, I saw gloves with bones on them, or patterns of bones, that is.
I was scared, to say the least...
When I spoke, I had a ghostly, echoing voice, obviously male, but, I sounded... vengeful about something.
I tried to access my past, but I only found my name, my species, and what I could do...
My name... Is Lewis. Lewis Pepper... odd.
My species was originally human, but now I'm a... Poltergeist.
I now have numerous abilities at my disposal, from Constructs Creation to Pyrokinesis, which is mainly Fire Generation and Explosive Fire Manipulation...
I learned to control fire when a wooden wolf tried to eat my "prison". The result was me in my prison and a pile of ash, with my prison sitting on top of the pile of ash.
I soon mastered my abilities, but, I became bored overtime, so, I created some "friends". The first one was named Mystery, and he already came with a BUNCH of powers. Too many to list. He was also a Kitsune, but had taken the form of a dog, for some reason... I try not to think about it.
Next was Arthur, a human, and he had, for some reason, a mechanical arm replacing his organic arm, his original arm... again, try not to think about it.
And finally, there were the Dead Beats, pinkish-purple ghosts with yellow hearts on their chests, with little cones on their heads. They seemed to be interested in singing... dunno why, they just were.
Anyway, I asked them what I looked like, and the Dead Beats made a mirror to show me what I looked like...
... I was speechless.
To say I was surprised was an understatement.
Over the next few days, me, Mystery, Arthur, and the Dead Beats have been trying to find a way out, but...
... we haven't been successful. At all.
However, during the day where we just lounged about, doing absolutely nothing, I felt something.
I looked out of my "prison" and saw a yellow-furred creature with red hair and a bow in her hair starring at my prison, he amaranth eyes starring at it, before she picks it up with her mouth and begins to head to a farm, but I couldn't hear what she was saying...
I then looked towards the others and said "Yo, guys, check this out."
They came over and Mystery immediately said "Why is she holding our prison... in her mouth, of all places!?"
"Well, she doesn't have any hands, so how else is she supposed to hold this damned place?" Arthur asked, making Mystery think about it for a second, before shrugging and going back to watching with us...
Soon enough, we (the creature and me and my friends), reached a farm, but it was all grayed out, with a weird, unholy creature made up of many different creatures graying it out, as it's claw grayed out anything it touched, long with other creatures that looked like the creature carrying me and my friends...
This time, the creature's eyes shrunk and she said, clearly and audibly, with a Southern accent, "Oh no..."
The hybrid creature then disappeared and the creature that was carrying us ran to a tree house nearby, going up and into it, where two others like her sat, scared out of their minds and then some, but one has a horn, the other hand wings...
(I'll give you three guesses on who they are.)
"Sweetie Belle! Scoots! Y'all alright!?" The creature asked, as she sat us down and ran to her friends, hugging them tightly, making the Dead Beats let out some "D'awwww"'s...
"We're alright, Applebloom, but we're scared... Rarity's been acting weird due to Discord "Discordnating" her, and Rainbow Dash has become disloyal to everypony... Including Scootaloo!" The horned creature, Sweetie Belle, said, quivering in fear...
I raised a metaphorical eyebrow at this, as did my friends, but what I heard next made my nonexistent blood boil...
"And now, Pinkie's become a jerk, Fluttershy's become an annoying Pegasus, and, on top of all that, Applejack is doing nothing! Twilight’s been trying to get them back to normal, but..." The winged creature, Scootaloo, said, before breaking down into tears, making my eyes glow a pinkish-purple color, and making my flame hair get bigger with rage, making my friends back away from me in fear, before I exploded into flames...
... the explosion then did something surprising...
It cracked our prison. Something we've been trying to do for days...
I smiled on the inside and I then seeped my flames through the crack, forcing it open more and more, until the prison was completely gone making me and my friends cheer, before I then reach my hand out and I feel my hand going OUTSIDE of our prison, before I then grin on the inside and I then, while the three weren't paying attention, grabbed the non-horned-nor-winged creature's leg, Apple Bloom, and I pull...
The result was a scared Apple Bloom, yelping and latching onto her friends in fright and her friends letting out a pair of "EEK!"'s when they saw my hand.
I chuckled and I grabbed onto the others and I began to pull myself out of the now broken prison along with my friends, as I soon popped my head out, gaining multiple gasps of fear, before I look at the three and say, awkwardly and waving at them with my free hand... "Um... Hi."...

My second DISPLACED story.
And yes, this is a Displaced story. To put it simply, this is part of the Elemental-verse, a verse that is interconnected with the Nightmare Verse by Pyraflare. I'm doing this for you, Pyra! You're welcome!
Now, you all MUST be wondering why Lewis doesn't know his past all that well, right? Well, that's because Lewis is part of Radmes's soul: His more loving part of his soul...
I'll explain how this happened later.
The Ponies, The Heart, and The Guardian Poltergeist...
... It's alright 'cause I'm with friends...
Author's Note
Alright, so, this takes place during The Return of Harmony Part 2, as you can tell. This is actually inspired by Buu, The Majin of Equestria and A Displaced Machine .
I like the way those start out, and I just HAD to try it out for myself. I think I did a good job.
Anyway, I would explain how Lewis is actually part of Radmes Soul, the more loving side, that is, and I will.
In The Newest Displacer, Radmes said that the spell the Merchant cast in him malfunctioned, splitting Radmes Soul into different beings.
L.M., the original Radmes, has the adventurous/eccentric side of his soul.
Lewis has the loving, caring side of his soul.
The other sides of Radmes Soul are scattered about the Multiverse, taking the form of the many characters he's written.
Those characters are as follows:
Lord Darkness (Terrarian)
These 11 are the 11 parts of his soul, minus the 12th one, which has yet to be decided, but I'm leaning towards Zone-Tan, the Darkness in his Soul... a Darkness that CANNOT be controlled by Xram, even the True Xram. Or, it could be Golden Freddy/Marionette (Nightmare/Non-Nightmare, and I am counting Nightmare, the black, red eyed Animatronic, as a form of Golden Freddy/Nightmare Golden Freddy/FredBear)...
Either way, it'll be hell for someone to try and find them all... I don't even think the SysAdmins or the Displacers could find them all. It's a wild Goose Chase... but I will bring them into play at SOME POINT in time, don't you worry...
Oh, and Lewis, Arthur, Mystery, and The Dead Beats can be summoned by themselves or together. Lewis is best for when you need help with burning or controlling fires. Arthur is best for fixing anything mechanical or robotic. Mystery is best for... anything, really, but it has to have some sort of evil spirit around. And the Dead Beats are... well, best for singing or back up singing...
Anyway, here we are.
Also, Lewis does have Radmes DNA, along with the original Lewis Pepper from the Mystery Skulls series, but Lewis does not know this. For all he knows, he could be the ORIGINAL Lewis, not a doppelganger.
... It's alright 'cause I'm with friends...
The three looked at me and I looked back at them, before I say, making them flinch a bit from my voice, "Are... are you three alright?", as I drag myself out of my "prison", with Arthur staying behind to not scare them, as Mystery did the same, leaving only me and the Dead Beats to get out, as the Dead Beats look at the three, worried...
"Y-yeah... W-who are-e y-you?" The horned one asked, Sweetie Belle, if I remember correctly, scared...
"My name is Lewis Pepper... former Human, now... Poltergeist... I mean you three no harm." I say, as the Dead Beats then go over to the them and check to see if they're alright...
"Ok-k... M-my name is Sc-cootaloo. My friends are Sweetie Belle-" The winged one, Scootaloo, said, worried, as well, as she pointed to Sweetie Belle, before she then pointed to Apple Bloom and said "- and Apple Bloom..."...
"Nice to meet you three... but, what species are you three?" I say, making them immediately snap out of their scared/worried state and go into a confused state...
"We're Ponies... Y'all don't know what a Pony is?" Apple Bloom asked, raising an eyebrow...
I shake my head and say "N-no... I woke up a couple days ago with no memory of who I was... it was only until the day after that that I found out my name, my species, and my... abilities.", before I then hold my hand out and I project a ball of pink fire from my hand, but it didn't burn anything, as I was controlling it's temperature, making the three ponies gasp in awe...
I then cancel it and I ask "Before we get off track, what's going on around here? In my prison, which is the yellow heart you, Apple Bloom, picked up, I heard you three going on about this thing called... Discord, was it?", making the three quiver in fear...
"D-Discord is the G-God of Ch-haos and Dis-sharmony. He was sealed in stone for 1,000 years due to The Elements of Harmony: Laughter, Kindness, Loyalty, Generosity, Honesty, and finally, Magic... B-But..." Sweetie Belle began to explain, before she began quivering a bit...
"But? But what?" I asked, curious...
"... Discord stole and hid the Elements, making it almost impossible for the Bearers of the Elements to seal Discord back in stone. Then, after an hour or two, he appeared in the Center of Town and made a throne, saying that he was now in complete control of Equestria, and that Chaos would reign supreme... Forever." Scootaloo continued, breaking down into tears at the end...
When I heard that, I let out an angry, vengeful growl, gaining their attention, along with the Dead Beats, before I looked at the Dead Beats and said, my voice deeper and sounding like I was going to kill someone, "Dead Beats, get Mystery. We're saving this town.", before they smiled, now looking a bit evil, before they zipped into the Heart and Mystery came out, wearing his collar and his yellow glasses...
"Mystery, you and I are going to teach this Discord a lesson..." I say, before I then say to the Dead Beats in the Heart "And Dead Beats, make sure no harm comes to these three, alright?", before I heard a chorus of "Sir, yes, sir!~", making me smile on the inside, before I then grab onto Mystery and I fly out of their treehouse's window, leaving a fiery pink trail behind me...
"Um, Lewis?" Mystery asked, as he looked down towards the town...
"Yeah, Mystery?" I replied, flying to the Center of the town...
"I don't think the town is supposed to be like that." He said, making me look down towards the town, making me laugh at the state of it...
There were Cotton Candy Clouds raining down chocolate milk, instead of normal white/light gray clouds with rain water, the entire land was checkered different shades of pink, there were BUFFALO TAP-DANCING, giant structures made out of cards, explosive glasses of chocolate milk, and other weird things going on in the town...
Is this all that Discord can do?
"This is just... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is just HILARIOUS!" I say, as I wipe off pink tears swelling up in my eyes from laughing, before I fly down near the Center of Town, unnoticed, before I then notice five mares and a little purple and green scaly creature with Jewelry around the scaly creature's and the five mares necks, except for the only non-grayed out mare (excluding the scaly creature), as she was purple, had a tattoo on her... flank... of a pink, four pointed star with multiple, little four pointed stars behind it, and she had hair that was different shades of purple/pink, as she also had a tail with the same shades of purple/pink, and, she was wearing a tiara/crown made of gold with a star-shaped gem on the tiara/crown...
I then noticed the being in front of them, sitting on a throne... "That must be Discord..." I whispered to Mystery, as he was the same hybrid creature from before...
I heard him laugh at their misfortune, saying that they had failed, before I growled and I said to Mystery "Stay here. When you see a pink fireball hit Discord, go Kitsune and attack Discord."
He nodded and I then disappeared from my spot and reappeared behind Discord's throne, as he spoke, saying "Bravo, ponies, bravo!", before he began to clap, still speaking, "Harmony in Equestria is officially dead. Discord rules, Celestia drools."
I let out a loud growl, making them all quiet down from it, all looking for the source...
I smirk on the inside and chuckle at this, before I disappear and reappear above Discord's throne, standing right on top of it, making the mares and the scaly creature gasp when they saw me, before I raise a finger and put it to where my mouth would be, telling them to shush, as Discord remains clueless...
I then create a fire ball in my hand and I throw it at Discord, lighting his head on fire, making him growl, but not before he jumped 3 feet into the air in fright, and I mean that LITERALLY, before he landed on the ground...
"Who did that!?" He said, angered, before I floated down to him, landing behind him with an auditable thud, making him freeze up and look behind himself slowly...
I grinned on the inside when he saw me, before I leaned down to his face and said "Boo."...
... the result was Discord screaming and running away in fear...
I laughed at this and said "That's What you get when you mess with the Ponies, Fear-cord!", but, I then noticed he was gone, only to then catch an explosive glass of chocolate milk that was being thrown from behind me, seeing Discord standing there with a shit-eating grin, holding an explosive glass of chocolate milk in each hand...
"No one is going to disrupt MY chaos! Especially a freak like you!" He said, before he threw multiple explosive glasses of milk at me, but, before they could hit, I ignited them with my fire, before Mystery appeared in his Kitsune form and began to attack Discord by biting Discord's left hand, making Discord let out a pained howl in anger, as he began to try to swat Mystery off with a rolled up Newspaper, failing miserably...
I then growl and say "Says the one that looks like a fucked-up mish-mash of creatures!", before I flew up and I then punched Discord in the face using my flaming hand, leaving a burning mark where I punched him...
He recoiled at this and I then say to Mystery "Mystery, hold off Discord for me.", as he nods and then proceeds to keep Discord at bay...
I then go over to the mares and I put my hands to the four grayed out mares, one was a winged pony, two were normal ponies, and one was a horned pony, but, they eventually went back to their original states, before I look towards the purple pony and asked "Excuse me, but, is your name, by any chance, Twilight?"...
"Y-yeah... who are you?" She asked...
I stood up and said, proud and brave, "My name... is Lewis Pepper, Human turned Poltergeist... and now the enemy of Discord. I'm doing this on behalf of my saviors: Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo."
Those names got something out of her and she said "Wait, THEY sent you!?"...
"No... Apple Bloom and her friends got me out of my "prison", so, I'm helping to get rid of this self-proclaimed God of Chaos, Discord." I say, correcting her...
"Ok... but, we have a problem." She said.
"I'm guessing your missing a member of your group, correct?" I guess, making her nod...
"That's correct, darling... we're missing Rainbow Dash. She's the last one we need to seal Discord back in stone." The white horned pony asked, who I guessed was... Generosity? Maybe she's Kindness...
I chuckled and said "Well, let's go get her. Mystery should be able to hold off Discord for a while... he is a 700 year old Kitsune, after all."...
"700!?" The pink pony said, scarring me as she was now on top if my head, unharmed by my flaming hair...
"How In the hell-!?" I say, startled by this, before the orange pony tackled the pink pony to the ground and dragged her back over to the group...
"Sorry. Pinkie can be a bit... random." Twilight said, sheepishly...
I just starred at this, confused as all hell, before I shake myself out of my stupor and say "Ok, so, I'm guessing the winged pony-"
"- Pegasus." Twilight said, correcting me...
"... I've been trapped in a yellow heart shaped locket for the past 5 or 6 days and I don't know what your species is. I only learned about my own name, species, and abilities the day AFTER I awoke in this weird world, so you can teach me each category your species goes in later, when there isn't a fucked up hybrid of Chaos attacking." I say, crossing my arms...
"Heh, sorry... force of habit." She says, making me roll my eyes...
"... Anyway... considering that the rest of you don't have wings, I'm guessing the Pegasus is the only one who can fly, right?" I ask, gaining nods from each of them, before I add "Well, Rainbow Dash is also a Pegasus, correct?", another nod, "Good. Now, HOW are we going to get her?", making them all pause...
"Hot Air Balloon?" The pink one, Pinkie, suggested...
"That'll do. Now, the Pegasus... Erm... what is your name, miss?" I say, before looking towards the shy Pegasus, hiding underneath her long, pink mane...
"Oh, um... m-my nam-me is...Flu-uttershy..." She says, before whispering her name, but, I was able to hear it clearly...
"It's an honor to meet you, Miss Fluttershy." I say, kindly, bowing to her, showing enough kindness to her to get her to soften up to me...
"Um, girls? We still have to get Rainbow." Twilight says, reminding us of the situation at hand...
"Yes, indeed. Now, let's go, shall we?" I say, as I float off the ground and look for a hot air balloon, before I find one and I then float back down, heading in the direction of the hot air balloon, with the group following me...
We then reach the hot air balloon and I allow them all to get on board, but, Twilight hooked Fluttershy up to the hot air balloon, having Fluttershy fly them up towards Rainbow...
I raise metaphorical eyebrow at this and ask "How come you're letting her fly it?"...
Twilight answered and said "She's the only one who can fly us to Rainbow... that, and Fluttershy has been friends with Rainbow since Flight School."
"Ah, I see... what does Fluttershy do for a living?" I ask...
"She's an animal caretaker, dear. She protects animals under her care no matter what, and the animals will do the same to protect her... it's amazing, darling!" Rarity says...
I then think of something and I ask "What if one of you were harmed? Would she do the same thing to protect you the same way as she would protect her animals?"
They all nodded, before I went up to Fluttershy and asked "Excuse me, Miss Fluttershy, but, is it true that your an animal caretaker?"
"Oh, yes... I've been a caretaker since I got my Cutie Mark..." She replied happily...
"Ah, well, your friends told me that you would also protect them if they were harmed just like you would protect YOUR animals... However, your friend Rainbow Dash is still under Discord's influence, so, doesn't that mean Discord's harmed one of your friends?" I ask, as she begins to process it...
Suddenly, a click is heard, before a fire ignites in her eyes, making her fly faster than ever, much to my and the group's surprise...
"W-WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Twilight yelled over the winds and speed...
"ASK HER LATER, TWILIGHT!" I say, holding on for dear life...
Soon enough, she stopped, as we reached Rainbow Dash, who was laying on a cloud...
We woke her up, she argued with us about saving Ponyville (HA!), and she then bolted. Soon after, Fluttershy flew after her, as I flew between Rainbow and Fluttershy, faster than Fluttershy, but not as fast as Rainbow...
I growled at this and I then began to sped up, before I grabbed onto Rainbow's back leg, as she was tied by her waist thanks to Applejack's, the orange pony's, lasso, and I then pulled, making her stop immediately as I held her in place...
She struggled to be freed and I then began to drag her down, with the group following suit...
We then had her tied in place, keeping her down, before me and Twilight touched her head, with my hand to her head and Twilight's horn to her head, we then reversed Discord's control over Rainbow...
Soon enough, she realized what was happening and asked to be let go...
"Here, let me." I say, before I then grab the ropes and I ignite them, burning them away, but Rainbow wasn't burned in the slightest...
"Woah..." She said, in awe...
I gave her a smug expression and said, prideful and smugly, "What? Don't have Pyrokinesis?", as I then laugh at her expression...
I then began to calm down and said "Anyway, come on. Let's seal that Bastard Chaos God where he belongs: in Stone."
They nodded and we headed to the town, only to see Discord flying through the sky with Mystery, still in Kitsune form, going after him...
... I just starred at this, as the others deadpanned at this...
The Ponies, The Heart, and The Guardian Poltergeist...
... Guess I'm giving up again...
Author's Note
Fun fact: While writing this, I was listening to SharaX's Undertale Remix of Dark, Darker, Yet Darker. It was a catchy remix and it gave me this idea for this fight.
... Guess I'm giving up again...
I shook the group out of their stupor and I said "Activate the Elements. I'll hold the chaotic bastard off with Mystery."
I then laughed and I flew up to the fight, hitting Discord in the gut, catching him off guard...
He growled and said "Who or WHAT are you two freaks?"
"My name is Lewis Pepper, Human-Turned-Poltergeist." I said, my hands igniting with pink fire...
"And I'm Mystery, a Kitsune disguised as a Dog." Mystery said, his voice deeper and wiser, full of power and authority, before he showed his 7 tails and his fangs, as his eyes flashed red...
"AND WE ARE YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!" We both said in sync, before me and Mystery charged at Discord, knocking him down to his throne and causing the throne to shatter into pieces...
I then created a bunch of fireballs and sent them hurling towards Discord, before making them all explode when they hit Discord, sending him into the air again...
He growled at this and counter attacked us with more explosive glasses of chocolate milk, hitting us, but, they hardly did ANY damage...
I smiled at this, as did Mystery, before we attacked him back, knocking him down, sending him back up, knocking down, sending back up, and so on and so forth...
However, we then noticed that the group below were getting ready to use the Elements on Discord, before we then knocked Discord down where his throne was, as he then got up, but, before he could, the jewels/gems on the Elements began to glow, as projections of them flew by Discord, making him scared...
We grinned and I said to Discord "See you in Hell, Discord."
Soon enough, a giant rainbow came from the Elements and struck Discord, as we saw his body turning to stone from the feet up, as he became more and more fearful when he found himself unable to more the more his body turned to stone...
Finally, every inch of his body was turned to stone, before the rainbow split down the middle and began to cover the town, forming a large dome...
We smiled, before the entire area flashed, slowly dimming down, as the area was now back to normal, with residents peeking their heads out of their homes, being careful of Discord, if he avoided it...
The group then floated back down, as we float back down to see them...
"Well... that was fun." I say, as Mystery goes back to his dog form...
"FUN!? How was that fun!?" Rainbow asked, angry...
"Miss Dash, it was fun for HIM and I. We've been trapped in a heart locket for a couple days. We only got out because the three ponies Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo managed to free us because, when they were crying and quivering, Lewis got mad and blew up in pink fire, cracking our prison. Anything is fun for us if it doesn't involve our prison." Mystery explained, making Rainbow think about this for a moment...
"... Point taken." She said, before Pinkie came over and, before she began asking us a million questions, I stopped her...
"I don't know my birthday, they don't have birthdays yet, yes, my last name is Pepper, I know I'm a "ghostie", and I can't eat because I'm a Poltergeist." I answered, making her jaw drop...
"Uh-huh-wha-how-?" She began to say, trying to find the words, while Rainbow laughed at this, landing on her back as she laughed herself to tears...
"I had a feeling you were going to ask me a bunch of questions about myself and parties, thanks to the mark on your flank being of three balloons." I reply...
"Huh... well, I'll be darned. I've never seen Pinkie act like that... then again, she has been weirder." Applejack said...
Suddenly, I was tackled to the ground by Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, and they had a lot of strength together...
"MR. GHOST! YOU'RE ALRIGHT!" They all said, as I pat their heads to calm them down...
"Of course I'm alright! That "Discord" was nothin'." I said, as the Dead Beats and Arthur ran towards us and hugged us, as well, in the same fashion as the three did...
... but they got Mystery instead, making him unconsciously go Kitsune, burying them in his fur, making them pop their heads out...
When that was all done, they soon noticed Arthur's robotic/mechanical arm, before Twilight came over and asked "Amazing... how does it work!?"
When she asked that, sparkles (HAH!) appeared in her eyes as she looked at Arthur's hand and arm, fascinated...
Meanwhile, Arthur was watching this, as I immediately knew what he was thinking...
'Oh... my... God. SHE IS SO ADORABLE!', as he soon blushed at this...
"Umm... Twilight, Arthur? Where to now?" I asked, raising an eyebrow...
Soon enough, they snapped out of it, as Arthur and Twilight blushed in embarrassment, making us all laugh...
"Now, if I may ask, what are your names?" I asked, before the white one, Rarity, I presume, walked up...
"My name is Rarity, darling, Element of Generosity." She said, before she added "... And I LOVE your outfit, dearie! Mysterious, wonderfully complex, yet simple, and the colors fit together so well!", as she had a sparkle in her eyes, making the others roll their eyes...
Then, Rainbow Dash flew up and said "My name is Rainbow Dash, Element of Loyalty and the Fastest Flyer in Equestria!"...
Next, Applejack, "Howdy, name's Applejack, Element of Honesty and Apple Farmer of Sweet Apple Acres, nice to meet ya."
Twilight, "Hello. My name is Twilight Sparkle, Element of Magic, owner of Golden Oaks Library, and Princess Celestia's Student."
Pinkie- HOLY SHIT! "HELLOMYNAMEISPINKIEPIEELEMENTOFLAUGHTERANDBAKEROFSUGARCUBECORNERNICETOMEETYOUMISTERGHOST!", which made me fall over in surprise and a bit of fear...
Um... anyway... finally, Fluttershy, "Oh, um... H-hello... m-my name is-s... Um...F-Fluttershy...", which I was able to hear clearly...
However, I then noticed the scaly creature and motioned for him to introduce himself, before he smiled and said "Oh, my name is Spike, Spike the Dragon. I'm Twilight’s little dragon brother and her #1 assistant at the Golden Oaks Library. Nice to meet you, Lewis.", before he held his hand out...
I smiled on the inside and shook his hand...
"Nice to meet you all. My name is Lewis Pepper, Human-turned-Poltergeist. The human with the mechanical/robotic arm is Arthur. The Kitsune disguised as a dog is Mystery. And the purple ghosts are the Dead Beats." I say, introducing me and my friends...
"Nice to meet you all./Hello, dears./HIYA!/Howdy!/Hello./Nice to meet ya!/Oh, um... h-hi." Was heard from the group, before I smiled, only to notice a chariot with Pegasi in front of it, guiding it down...
I then pointed to the chariot, as Twilight looked at it and saw it, before she gasped and said "IT'S THE PRINCESSES!"
She then dashed at a speed that made Rainbow green with envy, before we headed over with her...
The Ponies, The Heart, and The Guardian Poltergeist...

Alright, boys, we're going to take a break from the main cast and focus on these guys.
PREPARE YOURSELVES!
(Note: Frisk's 18 in this.)
And also, one of Sans' lines references another Undertale x MLP fic on this site. The name of it? Beyond the Barrier by SirDeeviant.
... It doesn't matter...
"heh... we've finally done it." A laidback and, oddly, comic-sans-sounding voice, said, as the owner of the voice, a short skeleton wearing a blue hoodie, white shirt, black track pants, and, oddly enough, pink slippers, walked to the exit of the mountain...
"NYEH HEH HEH! I KNOW, BROTHER!" A loud, productive, and, for some reason, papyrus-sounding voice said, as the owner of the voice, a tall skeleton, wearing white armor, with a yellow symbol on the top right of the chest on it, a red scarf (slightly torn up at the end), red gloves, red boots, and... blue underwear(?), walked with the shorter skeleton, the tall skeleton's brother, apparently...
"This looks awesome!" Another voice, sounding faintly protective, loud, but not as loud, and, for some reason, fishy, said, as the owner of the voice, a humanoid, blue fish wearing a black eyepatch, a black tank top, and pants, with red hair and a yellow eye, slitted like a cat's eye, walked behind them, with a short, yellow, dinosaur-looking girl walking behind the fish humanoid, wearing a white lab coat and glasses...
"Indeed. This is quite something..." A new voice said, male, deep, and very royal, as the owner of the voice, a tall, white goat man with yellow hair, wearing purple and gold royal attire, along with a crown, walked with the group...
"As much as I love this, how are we going to get down from here?" A motherly, female, and loving voice said, as the owner of the voice, a tall, white goat woman, wearing a long purple robe with a weird symbol on it, walked with them, making them all stop in realisation...
"huh... well, we could climb down..." The first voice, Sans, said, before he felt a tug on his arm, as he then looked behind him, seeing the Savior of the Monsters (i.e. Sans, Sans' brother, and the others), the seventh (secretly EIGHTH) Human, Frisk Dreemurr, the adoptive child of Toriel Dreemurr, the tall, female goat from before, standing there, with brown hair and their signature, pink and blue clothing, but, her (Yes, Frisk is a female, shut up) eyes were open, showing her unnatural, practically glowing amber eyes, before Frisk whispered something into Sans' nonexistent ear...
"heh... you definitely thought ahead, now didn't ya, kiddo?" Sans said, gaining a nod from Frisk, before Sans said to everyone "hey, guys! the kid just told me an idea!"
"WHAT DID THEY SAY, SANS?" Sans' brother, Papyrus, asked...
"well, I have a special... ability, you could say, that'll help us down the mountain." Sans said, gaining raised eyebrows from everyone except Frisk...
"And what would that be?" Toriel asked...
"watch." Sans simply said, as he closed his eyes, only to open them back up a couple seconds later, as his right eye had changed, revealing a blue/yellow, glowing eye, making everyone (excluding Frisk) gasp, before the sound of a charge was heard, as a giant skeleton head was seen rising from the edge of a cliff, offering them to ride...
"SANS... SANS, WHAT IS THAT?" Papyrus asked, slightly scared...
"that, bro, is what i like to call... a gaster blaster." Sans said, as he got on it, with Frisk following him, before he added "well, what are you all waiting for? let's go!"
The group hesitantly got on, as Sans then summoned a bunch more Gaster Blasters for the other monsters to ride on, when they got on, only for Frisk to get off and create a makeshift sign, saying "Jump on! They're friendly!", before getting back on...
Sans nodded and said "hang on, everyone!", before he controlled the Gaster Blaster, having it fly down it the ground, as everyone held on for dear life, except for Frisk, who was currently laughing up a storm as they flew down...
10 minutes later, the Gaster Blaster stopped and landed on the ground, as everyone, excluding Sans and Frisk, were dazed, and possibly air-sick...
"heh. thank you for flying on sans airlines. we hope you enjoyed your flight. thank you." Sans said, his ever-present grin on his face...
Frisk giggled and then whispered something into his ear again...
"good idea, kid. hey, everyone, me and the kid'll be going on up ahead. you guys can stay here to get your bearings." Sans said, as the others groaned in agreement...
"well, let's go, kiddo." Sans said to Frisk, as they walked into the forest in front of them...
"Sans..." Frisk said, hugging his arm...
"yeah, kiddo?" Sans asked, as they walked through the thick forest...
"You know you CAN use my actual name, Frisk, right?" She asked, making Sans stop for a moment...
Sans sighed and said "yeah, i'm just accustomed to calling ya kid or kiddo... sorry about that.", as he continued walking...
"It's alright, although, I think your more accustomed to calling me kid or kiddo than I am to calling you and Toriel a couple...~" Frisk said, making Sans blush, but instead of red, it was blue...
"k-kid!" Sans said, embarrassed...
Frisk giggled at this and led Sans through the forest...
However, when they finally got past the thick forest, they saw a little hut, with tiki masks and other weird voodoo/hoodoo items, and it looked like someone was home...
"let me handle this, kiddo..." Sans said, as he walked up to the door of the hut...
Sans then knocked on the door, as he heard the sound of someone saying "I'll be right there, with time to spare!"...
The being saying that then opened the door, but, it wasn't a human... instead, it was a white equine with black stripes, wearing golden rings and having a weird symbol on it's flank...
"Well, this is not what I was expecting... but then again, this forest is quite unsuspecting." The equine said, rhyming, being the owner of the same voice from before...
"i'd say the same if i knew where i were... but the events of what has happened has all been a blur." Sans said, rhyming like the equine...
The equine smiled and chuckled a bit, before saying "My name is Zecora, and I am surprised that you managed to find your way through the flora."
Sans chuckled and said "my name's sans, sans the skeleton, and it was by a ton of luck that i was able to get here... a skele-ton."
The equine, Zecora, laughed and said "Come on in, my friend, and so can your girl-friend...", making Sans and Frisk blush as they walked in...
They then settled in, before Zecora asked "So, Sans, what brings you and your friend to the Everfree Forest, unless you two are tourists?"
Sans chuckled as he said "we come from the land down under... but as of to why we are here... That is something i also wonder."
Zecora looked shocked and said "You come from Tartarus? But how did you get past Cerberus?", making Sans and Frisk raise eyebrows...
"we have never heard of this cerberus, nor of this tartarus. we come from the underground, where we were forever bound." Sans explained, making Zecora calm down...
"Wait, then how did you get out? Forever bound, you would have been stuck down there without a doubt." Zecora asked...
"we had used seven human souls to break through, thanks to this little kid, we got out we did." Sans said...
"Seven "Human" Souls? Those must have been quite a toll..." Zecora said...
"indeed it was, but we got through, thanks to little frisk here." Sans said, who stopped rhyming, now hugging Frisk, making her giggle...
Zecora smiled, before Frisk spoke up and asked "Excuse me, Ms. Zecora... do you know where the closest trace of civilization is? We would like to get the rest of Sans' kind, the Monsters, back into society onto the surface."
Zecora smiled and nodded, before she pointed outside her hut and towards the path behind her hut, as she said "I do indeed, Ms. Frisk! Follow this path and it will lead you back to civilization, but, be careful towards the residents... they just had to deal with the God of Disorganization.", peaking Frisk's and Sans' interest...
"God of Disorganization?" Frisk asked...
"He is actually known as the God of Chaos, famous for spreading chaos... he is truly infamous. 1,000 years ago, he ruled the land and allied chaos to flow. His name was Discord, and he was an Overlord that did anything but concord." Zecora explained.
"but, how did he fall out of power?" Sans asked, curious...
"Six magical artifacts called The Elements of Harmony, sealing Discord in stone and canceling out his awful Disharmony." Zecora said.
"hmm... are the residents of the civilization accustomed to monsters?" Sans asked...
"Depends on who you inquire, but while I find no reason to attack, they aren't the ones that will be so quick to be admired." Zecora said.
"Well, first, we must help the other monsters off the mountain, unless you know of someone that can help us out?" Frisk asked.
"Indeed I do. They are the bearers of The Elements of Harmony themselves, but, I will ask them myself, so that when you and your friend meet them, it doesn't seem out of the blue." Zecora explained, gaining nods from them both...
"i'll go and get the others. we'll begin helping the other monsters down. frisk can stay here, since she is the ambassador of the monsters, now." Sans said, as Frisk nodded in agreement, with Zecora doing the same...
Sans then walked outside, before taking a shortcut back to the clearing the Gaster Blaster landed in...
Frisk, however, then said "By the way, Zecora, what do you do for a living, if you don't mind me asking?"
"I am a herbalist, dear Frisk. I also provide wisdom for those nearby that are confused or need to solve an argument." Zecora said, as she got up...
"Ah. Well, you'd probably get along with my mom- well, adoptive mom, but still." Frisk said.
"Your mother? How is she different from every other?" Zecora asked.
"Well, she, like Sans, is a monster, who I sometimes call "momster" or "goat-mom," but she was once the Queen of the Monsters until she left her husband, the King of the Monsters, ASGORE, when he had to... kill... the humans to get their SOULs. Without their SOULs, the barrier keeping the Monsters underground couldn't be broken." Frisk explained...
"Oh my... but, did she forgive ASGORE for what he did? Or does she forbid to forgive him?" Zecora asked.
"She still hasn't forgiven him, and I don't think they'll be married again, since Sans might take her." Frisk said, giggling...
Zecora giggled at this, before she asked "Well, I must ask, dear Frisk. What is your mother's name? You did not say what her name is claimed to be..."
"Her name is Toriel, Toriel Dreemurr. She was also the mother of the six other humans that came before me. I don't know their names, but I do know what their SOUL colors represent. The first one is the Light Blue SOUL, Patience. The second one is the Orange SOUL, Bravery. The third one is the Blue SOUL, Integrity. The fourth one is the Purple SOUL, Perseverance. The fifth one is the Green SOUL, Kindness. And the sixth one is the Yellow SOUL, Justice. Then, there's me, the Red SOUL... Determination." Frisk explains, as her SOUL, a red heart, appears and changes colors as she said the names of the six SOULs, before becoming red again, only to disappear...
"Interesting, dear Frisk... I wonder if the other species on the planet have the same types of SOULs you speak of? Well, when I meet the other species... I'll ask." Zecora said, before she exited her hut and walked towards the civilization from earlier... Ponyville.
The Ponies, The Heart, and The Guardian Poltergeist...

What are you guys cheering about, anyway?
(Mew) We're happy that your getting involved with your readers and such, and with other writers. That, and we really want you to try your hand at "A New World, A New Way" story. It'd be good for you.
I'll think about it. Anyway, let's start this- HEY! MOON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY BOTTLE OF JACK DANIELS!? PUT IT BACK!
(Yveltal) Fun Fact: While writing this, Displace was listening to Antasma's Theme from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team: Which can be found here .
Had me feeling like a ghost...
Back with the ponies...
"Princess Celestia!" Twilight said, running to the chariot and then stopping within two feet from the chariot, with me and the group following...
Soon enough, Princess Celestia, a white, regal (Pegacorn? Unisus? ... I'll just call them Winged Unicorns...) Winged Unicorn, wearing gold regalia, along with her sister, Princess Luna, a midnight blue, regal Winged Unicorn, wearing platinum and black(?) regalia, before Princess Celestia smiled and said "Twilight Sparkle, my prized pupil..."
"Hello, Princess Celestia. Hello, Princess Luna." Twilight said, bowing, with the ponies bowing as well, before I looked to Mystery, Arthur, and the Dead Beats, who shrugged, before I shrugged and got on one knee, with the others following suit, except for Mystery, who bowed like Twilight was, and the Dead Beats, who didn't have legs at all...
We then all stood up, with Princess Celestia saying "So lovely to see you again, as well as your friends."
"Indeed, it is lovely to see you all again." Princess Luna said, smiling, as well...
"The pleasure is ours, your majesties." Rarity said, smiling...
Princess Celestia nodded, before she turned to me and her eyes widened so bit, before she asked "Twilight, who is your new friend?"
Twilight looked to me and said "Oh, that's Lewis... he's the one who, along with his friend, Mystery," before she pointed to Mystery with her hoof, who waved, "stalled Discord long enough for us to use the Elements on him and seal him back in stone... if it weren't for him and Mystery, Discord would still be free."
Princess Luna looked to me and said "Hmm... you look very odd to be a skeleton, evident by the skull... how are you doing that, though?"
I gave her a questioning look, before she rephrased the question and asked "How is your skull floating above where your neck would be?"
I realized this, before I thought for a moment and said "I... don't know. I only know my name, Lewis Pepper, my species, which was originally human, now a Poltergeist, and that I can control fire and do other ghostly things..."
They flinched at the sound of my voice, clearly surprised from the sound of it, before I said "Sorry."
I then looked to Mystery, who said "It is an honor to meet you, your majesties. My name is Mystery, and no, I'm not just a dog... I'm a Kitsune.", before he turned Kitsune, now at the same height as the Princesses...
The Princesses were shocked to the core, before Princess Luna shook out of her stupor and said "... We were not suspecting this."
I chuckled at this, before I said "Well, the yellow haired human with the mechanical/robotic arm and hand is Arthur and the purple ghosts with the yellow hearts on their chests are the Dead Beats."
The Dead Beats let out a chorus of "Hello!"'s, as Arthur smiled sheepishly and said "H-Hello."
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna smile and nod, before I notice a white pony with black stripes running towards us, as I ask "Excuse me, Princesses, but, do you know who that is?"
They looked in the same direction I was looking and Twilight then said "Zecora!"
"Ah, Twilight! It is good to see that you are alright!" The white, bla-no, ZECORA, said, as she smiled and ran up to us...
Twilight ran to her and hugged her, as did the others (Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie, and Spike), but me, Arthur, Mystery, the Dead Beats, Princess Luna, and Princess Celestia just raised our eyebrows in confusion... or, in me and the Dead Beats case, raised our nonexistent eyebrows in confusion...
Zecora finally noticed me and the others, before she said "Hmm... it looks like I'm not the only one that discovered something within the Everfree Forest... and I am guessing, as well, that these 8 aren't tourists."
We raised eyebrows at this, with me and Mystery starring at the Princesses, with them starring back at us...
"What do you mean by that, Zecora, darling?" Rarity asked.
"New monsters have arrived in the forest that is my home, but these do not carry the Destructive Syndrome." Zecora explained.
This just made them more confused, and with Twilight asking "Wait, new monsters? And they aren't destructive?"
Zecora nodded and said "Indeed, Twilight... but, I do not believe they will drop down from a fight if one gives them a hostile fright."
This made them all tense up, before Lewis said, floating forward "Ms. Zecora, when did you meet these monsters?"
Zecora looked to Lewis and said "10 minutes ago, my friendly Spectre, but they do not seem to be wreckers."
"The ones that confronted me were a short skeleton and his human girlfriend, but with the Human's, Frisk's kindness and the short skeleton's, Sans', puns and rhymes, we became quick friends." Zecora explained, chuckling a bit...
This alone made Lewis all the more intrigued, before he asked "Would you mind bringing them here?"
Zecora nodded and said "Of course, but I will need some extra help, if you have the resources... just, don't be too hostile, as they need our remorse."
"Why is that?" Lewis asked.
"These monsters were trapped underground for thousands of years by seven human mages... they may have been trapped since the Dark Ages." Zecora explained, making them all gasp in shock and surprise...
Lewis then regained his posture and said "Mystery, Dead Beats, go with Zecora and help her bring the Monsters here."
They nodded and Zecora said "Follow me, Spectres and Kitsune, we must be there soon!"
Zecora then began to lead them to the Monsters, Mystery and the Dead Beats following close behind...
