“Man, it sucks being in prison nothing to do.” I say. I look out of my cell to see a glowing flag with nothing on it. “Huh, that's strange, never saw that before.” I say while inching closer. “Imma touch it.” I say, reaching out, swiping for the flag but to no avail, then I decide to use his tail. I stab my tail into the flag, then a bright blinding purple light surrounds me and the flag.

“Boo” A demonic voice says, behind Khyax.

“Ah!” I yell slamming into the bars with his head. “Ow, I did not deserve that.” I say, rubbing the back of my head.

“Heheh, don’t care.” It was an Alicorn mare, not much different from Twilight Sparkle.

“Well, you look freaky, no offense.” I say.

“Lots taken. I’m just a darkly colored Alicorn.” She said. “You’re one to talk, too.”

“Ouch, anyway who are you and why are you here?” I ask.

“My old name was Skylar Hope. Now I’m Brutalight Sparcake, At your service.” Brutalight says with a mock bow.

“Well why are you here?” I ask again.

“You touched one of the Tokens I’m linked to.” Brutalight said. “You’re a Displaced, correct?”

“Uh, I think so.” I say.

“You’re new to this, I understand. Is there anything you’d have me do?” Brutalight asks, placing a light purple top hat onto her head.

“Well, first I want me and my child out of this castle.” I demanded.

“As you command, my unholy service shall begin.” Brutalight says, before literally walking through the bars. “Guard! I, Princess Celestia’s student, want to speak to the beast alone!” She said in a normal voice.

“You smart alicorn um...alicorn.” I say.

“Demon.” Brutalight corrects, before waiting for a response from the guards.

A lone unicorn guard came marching down the hall.

“Are you sure Princess Twilight, he is dangerous.” the guard asks.

“If I can pick up and pacify an Ursa Minor late at night, I think I can take care of a jailed creature.” Brutalight says calmly.

“Yes your majesty, I’ll inform the guards to leave this sector.” the guard says, before bowing and marching off.

Brutalight, then melted the bars of Khyax’s cell. “Follow me from a distance. Okay?” Brutalight’s coat shifted to look more like Twilight’s coat and dissolving the top hat.

“Wait, let me call my child.” I say, before closing his eyes and going into the hivemind. “Slash are you there?” I ask mentally.

“Yes, my Queen” Slash replys.

“Come to the cell quickly.” I say before relising what he said. "Wait what did you call me?"

"I called you my Queen"

I groan in annoyance. "I'm a King, call me King."

“Yes, my king.” Slash says.

With that bumps of metal getting louder was heard to see a vent grate fall from Khyax’s cell. A xenomorph drone pops it's head out and climbs out and crawls to Khyax.

“Well, we're all here.” I say, petting Slash.

“As we go, I’ll explain what a Token is.” Brutalight says, trotting forward.

“Alright explain.”

“A Token is an item tied to a Displaced. A dimensionally misplaced person like us. How we interact across multiverses, however, is through these Tokens. A Displaced uses them to call our friends to us. Each Displaced has one. I don’t though. That flag is part of a faction I’m a part of called the Empire of Nightmares.” Brutalight explains. “Any questions?”

“How does someone make this and transport it across the multiverses?” I ask.

“Gimme what you want to use.”

“Um, Slash make a square webbing for me.” Khyax said. Slash made some using his spit that quickly hardened into a black sloppy square. “Alright here.” Khyax says handing it to Brutalight.

Brutalight cringed, but took it in her magic. She casted a spell on it, then magics it over. “Speak a phrase into it explaining your intentions. Good, bad, neutral, etc.”

Khyax leans into the square and says “Anyone that has problems good or bad or needs a friend summon me to the battle, I am, Khyax, the king of xenomorphs.” I say confidently.

Brutalight, then sent it into the void. “It’ll duplicate in the void.” Brutalight says, before continuing. Once they were outside of the dungeon, Brutalight looked around.

“Wait, even if we get out how are two giant aliens going to slip past guards?”

“I can cast sleep spells.” Brutalight stated, before trotting left. “I hope this world’s Canterlot Castle is the same as mine.”
“Well I didn’t really have time to check around while I was unconscious.” Khyax says.

“I’m talking to my-” Brutalight froze all of a sudden, then an evil smirk appeared on her face. She summoned a saddle bag and turned to Khyax. “Trust me.”

“You don’t look all trustworthy.” I say warily.

“I know, but you don’t look that part either, Trust me.”

“Alright, i’ll trust you.” I say. Brutalight used a spell to shrink Khyax and Slash, before tossing them into her saddlebag.

“You guys okay?” Brutalight asks, as she headed for what she hoped was the exit.

“YOU BETRAYED ME!” I say in a squeaky voice.

“No, this way you’ll be unseen. Once we’re out of Canterlot I’ll resize you.” Brutalight explains. She turns when she passed a guard. “Good day, sir.”

“Good day your highness, I hope that beast didn’t give you a hard time.” the guard says.

“Nah, it fell asleep when I started talking to it… It’s really insufferable when this kind of thing happens. I could go on and on about my friend Rainbow, but I’m kind of tired. Mind showing me to the entrance of the castle? If I don’t have anything to do, might as well check up on my family.”

“Yes, this way, Princess Twilight.” he says as he lead the fake Twilight through the castle.

“Just Twilight is fine.” Brutalight said, following the guard.

The guard leads Twilight though twists and turns leading into the throne room and says “Just through that door across the throne room will get you outside.” the guard explains.

“Thank you.” Brutalight replied, before going inside.

As Brutalight was walking through the throne room she heard Celestia addressing her. “Twilight, what are you doing here?” Celestia asks. Brutalight froze, but quickly turned.

“Oh, Princess Celestia! I didn’t see you there. I’m, uh, a guard said the exit is through here. I want to go see my family. I don’t visit them often enough.” Twilight says.

“If you went to see your family, then why are you at the castle? In fact how did you get in here?” Celestia questions.

“I teleported. What a mistake, I got a migraine.” Brutalight laughs in false embarrassment. “I wanted to see the creature. It fell asleep before I could study it.” Brutalight lies. The demonic Alicorn was a master liar and manipulator, able to keep sweat from openly showing her lies.

“Well, next time come through the doors or tell me before hoof.” Celestia says.

“Of course, It won’t happen again, I promise.”

“Alright, goodbye then I must return to my work.” Celestia said.

“Of course.” Brutalight teleports onto the other side of the door which she needed to go through. “That was close. See? Trust me.”

“Ya, anyway can you get me out of here?!” I yell.

“Not yet, We’re still in the castle.” Brutalight starts flying towards the front of the castle.

“We should do this somewhere where no one goes like the everfree forest to not cause alert.” I suggest.

“Okay…” Brutalight says. She finally got outside, before dive bombing into the Everfree Forest. She landed with a thump on her hooves, smiling proudly. “You’re welcome.” She then pulls Slash and me out of her saddle bag, before turning them back to their former heights.

“Never do that again.” I say.

“I won’t have to if you don’t get caught.” Brutalight explains.

“So now what?” I ask.

“Now I promote my organization. The Empire of Nightmares is a faction that specializes in helping questionable Displaced. If you join, you can have the tokens of all it’s members, and assist in our endeavors. Rewards vary. We’re currently fighting a group called the Alliance of Heroes, which is more for the heroic and moral steady types.”

“Well, I guess I owe you one so i’ll join The Empire of Nightmares.” I say.

“Cool, I’ll call you when we need ya, mate.” Brutalight states.

“Cool, i’ll always be ready for you.” I say.

“Thanks bro. Need anything else?” Brutalight asks.

“Nah, i’m good i’ll be fine.” I say.

“You ever need us, use this.” Brutalight tossed what looked like a tablet towards him with a symbol on the back. “Solar er.”

The symbol was black with red spikes pointing inward.

I caught it and looked at it, puzzled. “So it works like a tablet?” I ask.

“Press on a name and it’ll show you information about them. Then there’s a summon option, and a call option.” Brutalight explains. “I suggest only contact those you meet personally. Later!” Brutalight says, before vanishing.

“Okay bye.” I say after she left. “Well, Slash that was an experience."
