Clad That Forge Creation And Hearts

My back on the ground with my hands held behind my head as a pillow. I'm in a field below a tree. If you lay below the tree, and look up, they become a bit translucent when the sun beams over them.

I've watched leaves rustle in the sunlight, like a translucent silhouette dancing in the wind. Leaves rustled in the wind, cool aired breeze. If only they where Autumn leaves. Just feeling these nice, cool breeze, I just close my eyes for a-bit and sleep during this beautiful day.

If a certain loud footstep hasn't come in earshot! "Who is it?" I said bemoan. Hoped that it wasn't who I'm thinking it is. If it is, I'm not gonna be one happy brawler I thought.

"Awe. Am I really that of a bother, for an old friend to visit!"

Eyes snap open and launch myself on my feet, turn my head to see a man covered in brown cloaks. He looks like from Resident Evil (Even tho I never played it). I can barely see his smile. "Merch!"

******

Hours have past since merchant (aka. Merch) arrived. Sitting down on a tree as merchant sat on a stone picnic-table in a rotunda, sipping apple juice.

"How-ve you been?" I asked. Interested in his line of work.

"Good, in a certain way!" He said, sounds uneasy.

"... So... Hows your job doing? You know, the di..." I thought what it's called. Tried to recall the word he uses a-lot, but it seems to hard to remember as it is only giving me a headaches. Pinching my temples from the mere annoyance of it.

Merch must have felt my headache, he said. "Displaced." Before continuing his drink.

I node as the pain eased. "Right! So what happen?" I'm glad that he got me out of that, otherwise I would be stuck in it, again.

"A boy that cosplay as Vanitas has walk up to my booth and saw the Void Gear on display with so much restrained excitement! I said; 'Hello there, Vanitas.' and he said; 'Hey, um, how much for the Void Gear Keyblade?'." He tried to imitate the event but failed.

But, I have to ask. "How much was it?" Sorry, I usually asked this.

"$200."

I was shock that I barely lost my balance. "OI that's a lot of Scata(a.k.a. munny)! What happen next?"

"He was sad, he only has half of what he owns, so I made a deal. I'll sell him the Void Gear Keyblade, for fourth of the original price, and in exchange, he plays a little game, like find all the keychains that are scattered everywhere. He agreed with so much excitement, I gave him the Void Gear and poof, gone he went."

"Again." I grumbled in annoyance. Don't get me wrong, I love his stories an all and he's telling me the truth. But he always say the same thing in the end, I gave them a thing and poof, gone they went. He never told me what it is. I tried to ask him but my thoughts telling me to leave it alone and questioned it. What if it's a code he follows or, something that might risk the entire world...

Well, what can I do? It's all that I think about. Heck thinking is all I can do. I thought. Tho, he did avoid the question when I asked how he gets those items... Wait a minute. He even avoid showing me what he does too! And he's been hogging all the meat- Shook my head. what NO. Why am I thinking of food at a time like this.

Stood straight up from leaning on one of the tree-trunk, I scowl. "Just stop already. Why won't you just tell me!" Walk in front of him so he wouldn't go running off. Yeah- I am reeeally tired of this blow hole, like a-lot! "When will you ever tell me... When will you tell about how they vanish!" My hand start creaking and non painful cracking from stress. Eyes quiver in anticipation and agitation. Many tolerance build up inside in my long life.

He stood up calmly; as far as I can tell. "Well..."

He stayed silent for a bit, face hid behind his brown cloak. When he spoke, his tone become low and a hint of something else. "You want...," Started out mumbled, then raised it for my hearing. "do you really want to know..." At first, I thought he's just joking. "Okay then, i'll tell you." I was wrong!

Wait!

"They're somewhere far away. Far-away, that even they can't return without help;" He point one finger at me. "Which is impossible due to their destiny and their human nature revealed to their world, that's what happen to them."

I'm shocked, he sent them somewhere. Someplace that they may not able to return! But.. But... "Thats nuts! ...Why would you do that! How can you just do what you;" I shook my head. "I know you and some others can do that, but still-"

"Oh, Like your supernatural powers." I tense. "Yeah. I know your secret, 'G-Crea', Gods Creation. I found out it last year." He steps forward that's just within range.

My body tenses up to the point that I can't even move anymore. Oooh crud, me and my big mouth! His hand open like a some wizard in anime shows do when their casting from their palm. "Why does my power have to do with this. It-"

"Cause yours is the creation of all thing and creators alike... And you shown your true colors in the wars. " A gray glow aura from his palm bloom. "You know too much."

Before I can do anything, a black, venomous colored vortex has opened up behind me. "Wha-" I didn't get the chance to finish. Instantly, an unknown wind blew me away into it, I yell at his name before it closed in on itself.

Couple of breaths, calming his frustration from Jack Frosts snatching the staff away and harming him. His mind was trying to catch up from frantically searching for just one staff.

When he finally did, his eye's widen, shut them just as fast as he faced-palm hard on himself. "What have I done."

Consciousness stirred. Slow, quiet moans escape my throat from my drowsy state.

A sudden groan in pain snapped me out of my slouchy feeling, mind throbs in agony. Eyes shut tightly, didn't want to get flashed from the light. And to top it off, my own body ac. Augh... This reminds me the time I road the roller-coaster at Disneyland. Stomach flip so much that I almost- and I said Almost puked. At least, not this time!

Used my hand for support on the ground, propping myself up. Only to fall down from slipping to the ground with a, thud. Ow-a That's what I get for not paying attention to your body, YOU IDIOT! I yell in my head.

I blink one eye open, fluttering it to get accustomed to the light. At first, the only thing I saw were a bunch of blobish shapes on a dark gray background. I groan at first glance at the light.

When my vision got cleared up, the logic centers of my brain just up and went… Okay buck this, I’m going on vacation.

Colors started to form... Brown and green with a few shading... that's not right! Did I slept throughout the day? Confuse displayed with an eyebrow raised. When I went to stand on my feet I quickly became unbalanced and fell on my back with a large THUD.

I was about to get up to try again, but then I saw one of the most shocking things I had ever seen. Instead of hands,

I HAVE PAWS! I screamed in my head. I look down at my figure in a nearby lakes reflection.

A huge wolf, bigger than a dog was, looking at me. I was mostly black, but the fur on my stomach was a super light grey, almost white, along with the bottom of my tail.

A manacle and broken chain were attached to one foreleg, and a small blue earring was in my left and right ear. I had a large concentration of fur around my neck and shoulders, looking like a small lion’s mane. There was a white pattern of fur consisting of a diamond with a dot in the center on my forehead, and a few other swirls on the eyebrows above my eyes. Chest rose and fell with hyperventilated breaths.

Seen it all, I come to realize that I've turn to a wolf, Wolf Link! OH NO HE DIDN'T! I bark, before placing my paw over my newly developed muzzle, shock!

Okay Okay, breath in *inhale*... and, breath out*exhale*... repeat- I did as instructed, rely on what I saw a few years back, five-no eight, eight years ago. It's something that a horse -no; its pony- I don't know, I saw it on some cartoon show but its been so long ago that I forgot what it's about, the episode and the title.

I huffed. This sucks. It's not THAT bad. Being a wolf is interesting and all but I have no interest in staying as a non-sapient for the rest of my life!

While I'm still standing, somehow, my legs started to wobble. I froze again, as realization hit me. I had never actually taken steps in this body before... I boldly took a step and put one paw ahead of me; it felt strange. I didn’t know what to expect, but it was nothing like when I would walk with my feet. I missed my feet. However, when I took the second step I realized just how much I missed my feet. A low whimper slipped my muzzle. This is gonna take a while.

As I practice, I glance around for anything in-particular trait. Raised a brow, know-tic that everything has yellow highlight instead of clear/white highlight?! Which, was odd. Hmmm... Wait.... this looks.. familiar? I thought, continue track across the forest.

******

As I reached the forest edge, I spotted something.

An area surrounded by some black core afloat with a dome covering something. Why do I feel like I should keep on high alert? I shook my head. Slowly and cautiously, I crawl towards the dome. Desperately tried to sneak closer without being noticed of being spotted.

I checked every now and then, looking at the sphere every once in a while for any identification of action or alert. As the distance is only a quarter away, I see a small size ball form has glowed, fissure hieroglyphics art. And when i'm like forty feet away, I can see a;

PONIES! I thought. Where in slippery sundaes am I!?

The purple pony had both wings and a horn. A winged unicorn? She's wearing steel armor that mostly for captain rank. She's fighting some strange bugs that have features similar to a winged unicorn and this black sphere. It would appear that they've been fighting before I got here.

I continued closer to this, strange sphere,

Its evil, destroy My mental instinct said.

It would appear that it hasn't know-tic me. It's been sprouting a black tendril that's having four claws try'in to catch the pony whenever it gets close to it. But fail as it moves away when it know-tic. Very nimble yee! I comment in thought, as I crawl closer. Whatever this thing is, I'm gonna get rid of it.

I'm in position, lowered my front and raise my back for a pounce. I growl high enough for it know my presence, which it turned around that means it heard it.

Before it can even respond, I use Wolf Links basic Dash Attack and bite down where I saw a core fragment, biting at least six more times, each one made it screech in agony; It sounds like the Shadows Link has fought! before pulling the essence out.

Feeling resistance I open one eye to only see what it is, a black tendril that's barely holding on to it. Damn Buggers... Ye gives me the Booty ya hear! ye'ar! I thought in a pirate accent as best I could. Pulled as hard as I move back for more distance, before sensing incoming from my right. Holy-! Release my vice before dodging an incoming tendril. Mack-role!

Its attention is definitely on me now. It shot out two tendrils like claws, I dodge the first by side step to the right, second have only grazed a small swipe. Land on all four, right cheek where the swipe hit has left a black haze cut before dissipating. My chin feels numb. Okay, note to self: Avoid Shadow attacks from getting numb. Got It! Now knowing my opponent's Intel a bit, I'm ready.

Dashed towards it, Shadow shot more tendril's that seeks to destroy. Starting to dodged, zigzagging and weaving every one of them. Lucky I've gotten use to this body... If not, I would be scourged! Once within range, I use Dash Attack and tried to pull it out this time.

Before I know it, SNAP, right in my jaw is a sphere, of, something. When It lost it's light, that made it howl with a screech that even made my ears pull back for less volume.

Once it stops screeching, it dispersed into bunch of small fragments that looks like a jigsaw puzzle before flown up to the sky. A vortex was form that looks like, it sprouts out circuit-grid before it disappeared! I sigh in satisfaction...

Only to be cut short, as more insects, pony, thing surround both me and the pony. I was completely focused on that shadow that I didn't realize that I was being ambush! We are back-to-back;(if you can even call it that); tense atmosphere that's only concerning us and insect-pony.

I wanna growl at them, but stop myself. With what's going on, I need my reflexes, sight, and hearing in this kind of fight. I'll not die here, for shall be thou who shall scourge to ashes!

(Narrator POV)

Alicorn mare fought every single insect pony that tries to harm her, not that it matters. Three minutes later, she's flanks to flank with something, unsure of what it is since it's hard to see it at night. Seem to see themselves that their surrounded by- some sort-of black form of changlings. "These things are not changeling, but at the same time they are." Shook'in her head in clearance, scowl turn to growl. "It doesn't matter, they will pay for it all!!"

EVERYTHING IS LIES

She stood up tall with authority and leadership. Her mane flows in the wind as shes feeling a desire to sing out Aliez. Invisible wolf took offensive stances as he feels pump from hearing a familiar song. But an brow rose. Wait is she really going to song?!

FRIENDSHIP DIES

She push any memories back for all she could. They took so much from her, her family, her friends, Canterlot, Griffinstone, Appleloosa, Manehatten and Crystal Empire... They've taken away everyone... It was because of me. Twilight thought.

AM I NOTHING, BUT A PUPPET

Twilight had taken the enemies front line that has been taken out, only now as a group of exoskeleton corpses of Changeling.

"As I bask in the glory;"
"As I stand in the silence;"
"I'm screaming, but I'm sure that no one seems to hear a thing;"

'Yup she is.' More changeling reinforcements came and they too took a crouch/ attack stance.

"All the scars of the spotlight;"
"I try to hide;"

Her breathing's all shaky and hallow, tear fall from her eyes.

"Is it pride that keeps these feelings burning inside;"
"Somewhere there's the strength;"
"I need amongst these broken pieces;"

Twilight cast her barrier attack that expands instantly that hit multiple enemies, even ones from behind. Three fell to the ground and one hit a rock, all four are spewing green oozes. Wolf dug his claws in a swift motion in hit's or bites down on them to finish the ones that's still conscious of her attack.

"Show me how to win without the sins I see in battle;"
Congratulation, Twilight.
You'll play your part
Your time will come

One tried to sneak up on her from behind, but was pushing downward on the ground and bite down its neck. It struggles to be freed for only his fangs to put more presser as its body gone limped.

"Though I try to shine, I hear your lies amongst the silence;"
IT'S YOUR DESTINY.

We both saw only one left, Wolf growl as did Twilight.

"Can I truly say these words are mine~?"

Twilight's horn glowing in magenta with her rushing forward as did the wolf with his teeth ready in unison.

"I say CRIER;"

Imitation of a Changeling Leader was the only one left, it buzzed forward at her with its horn glowing lime green.

"Save the LIERS;"

They cast their spells as they ran at each other. Just a mere few feet away, Twilight cast her strongest spell that she can cast, now knowing the danger of using such a spell. Wolf avoids any shot as it's ready to jump for a dive bite.

"In this RISING HELL"

Front of her is a magenta colored cone that shaped as arrowhead. Wolf ran in first and bitten it's back leg and swipe his see through insectoid wings before release. When It hit the imitation of a Changeling Leader, an explosion of dust clouds.

"I stand waiting for the day;"

As it cleared up, it became translucent in mid-fall, dead.

"Don't say war~"
"Life's a war~"
"Eye's a war~"

Her expression became utter shock. Her eyes tearing up as something felt wrong with her body. Wolf has disappeared during the explosion, not that she saw it since it's still Twilight Realm.

"I see this is how it's meant to be;"
"This life's all I see;"
"Signals call to me;"
"I won't understand;"
"Now the world's in my hand;"
"This life's all I see;"
"Signals call to me;"
"I won't understand;"
"Til the truth's in my hands"
Hello, My Faithful Student.

Minutes of silence have past, high heavily breathe, eyes spasm in shock. Field that once nice became oozed in changeling corpse. She huffs. "How... many... *huff* will it..... *huff* takes for........" The whole scene spin and twirl that she slumps on the ground, blacked out instantly.

(Kye POV)

I ran as fast as I could with my numb state, squabbling few times over.That blob of abomination's numb ailment hasn't worn off, and it's been growing for a bit in battle that I almost miss my strangle with that insect/pony. It work; yeah, but I almost got hit by that ponies magic if I haven't dodge in time.

Ground shook like a aftershock before a *TWINGE* sound same, afterwards it stop shaking in a short span. At first I thought it was nothing, like some aftershock or something large fell on it's bee-hind.

Glance around in hope that it's not the ladder... I don't want to deal with a giant right now that's birth from Jack And The Bean Stock.

Raise my head up, if what I saw didn't made me double take, I would've said: Okay, wake me when everything make sense.

Seeing as everything is starting to get it's highlight colors back! My body tremble in magic that felt tingly from inside out. "Please~ tell me that it's wearing off!" Filled with excitement, I bounce in a circle.

Finally took a deep breath of fresh air, before freezing. Wait... Didn't Merch said that to become a Displaced, you need to have a real item that thy original character has, or else you'll not get the same functionality as their powers and incident. A thought swimming at the back of my mind, slowly coming to into fruition as the tingling feeling grown. ... I'm not Link... and... I don't have anything that's FROM the game to begin with.. Didn't Link get a new outfit after his first transformation... Oh- My mind finally possess the results.

I looked down at my body, seeing slowly started to glow from paw up. At this rate, I'll have only an hour! YEAH~ what does Scooby Doo usually say, oh yeah! "Ruh Roh!" I somehow speak in wolf language, but my mind was in full blown panic.

Scurry to the nearest place I can find. My first option was to head back to that village I saw earlier, but i'm to far away and inside the same murky forest. Its the place that I've woke up from.

I'm uneasy in taking a step forward, now that I'm actually conscious of my surrounding. Okay. You can do this.. this is, just.. a forest, nothing more, nothing less... I guess.

I take one step forward, into forest boundaries. Hissing and growling creatures that's covered in dark wispy form crawling from random tree branches.

large hunched biped creatures with eight legs that's red, three clawed toes. One arm is enormously huge, bulky that has five dislocated saw shape claws that has more dexterity. Other arm is skinny and crooked with an approximately least fourteen tentacles for appendages. Base torso from top is bulkier to skinnier from low with chitin like the insect/pony has. It's bat like wings all tattered with ripped edges and displays moss, as if it has been rot for decades of sadness. Small head that has razor sharp pincer and sharp teeth for a mouth with six red eyes that has no indication of white nor pupils that leaks misty hazes.

Eye, those eyes, they can show you many things about yourself... your crimes.. your sorrow.. anger.. sadness.. and regrets.

Start to have doubt about going inside a dark, creepy forest with unknown creatures lurking in at every corner... Fear starts to seep through my sense of self, my mind is in a complete mess at this point. Must be a side effect from mental re-calibration!

Swallowing a lump in my throat and my breathing has gone hackles and wheezing. My heart beat is going faster, and faster! My eyes swivel wildly in every direction with no destination in mind. Why am I here? Any enemy nearby? Why am I a dog? What am I again?- I questioned many things in life, and fell in a mental meltdown. Before I knew it, I fell unconscious.

Unbeknownst to me, my body covered in illuminated light.

"Uuuugh, my head... What, what happen?" Twilight stirred, awaken by Celestia's... sun! Raise her head for more perspective, seeing this, made her heart leap out in- "It's Back! CELESTIA'S SUN IS BACK!" She just leap up in joy for seeing her Ex-mentor's sun. Smiling even wider with full blown glee. Twilight looked around for her fellow Alicorn.

She check Town Hall, she didn't see Celestia outside. She check the inside, theirs post boards and waiting counter that's still cluttered, but their are no princess. "Maybe she's eating at Suger Cube Corner, maybe Pinkie's there!" She thought. She head to Suger Cube Corner, did everything she could to suppress her eagerness.

When she got to Suger Cube Corner for only to see only sweets in display. Looked a bit longer, seeing bakery tools, food materials, beds... But no Celestia, no Pinkie, Mrs. and Ms. Cake and Pound and Pumpkin cake either. Her muzzle twitch for only a second; Heh, maybe the others are back! Twilight thought.

Racing to another friends house, Sweet Apple Acres. "Applejack has to be here! *Huff* She has to!" She said to herself. But just like before, no one around in view. She knock on the door and wait, sitting on her haunches.

No response. She knocks again this time twice. She wait for at least twelve minutes And yet, no answer. Her happy turn to worry, to fear.

She knock harder in weary. "Applejack! It's me, Twilight Sparkle, you can come out, eh, their gone." Tint of fear slip in her tone.

Three hours of searching and every single house is empty. Not a sliver of fur, strand of mane or even a magic residue, no even one. But did found something, lay on the ground at the forest edge. "What the-"

My dream

I stand in dirt field... Filled with blades of different varieties! It appears that I return to my old self.

As my eyes glance to a familiar face. sitting on a flat stone is a girl with hair that's white as snow. Her red, amber colored iris that stares into mine. "Well... This is a strange reunion, huh Illya?!"

I smirk, it slowly turn to a sad expression. "But I know, your not her... Your just her remaining essence."

She nod, standing up. She clear her throat before speaking. "Will you bare this power for those who seek help, or destruction?"

Great, not this Kingdom Hearts start-up again! Placed my balled up fist on my chin. "Well~, I guess, those who seek help."

She tap a finger on her chin. "Do helping others that important." Barely a mumble, more like talking to herself out-loud. "What gives you strength?"

That got me thinking, what does give me strength? Is it my supernatural power, my friends, or is it intelligence? I know it's not the ladder, and is sort of my powers... but, "I would say, Friendship and my powers. I'm not book smart but I can make battle strategy.. But it's my trust or truth from my friends that gives me power."

"Is Friendship really that strong?" Again, no one in particular. "Will, you," Her feet shuffle, twiddling her thumb. "let me in?" I'm caught off-guard! I thought of what she meant if it's a sexual question or something else. She gave me those puppy dog eyes in desperation, they only tell me the ladder.

I sigh. "If it's not a sexual.. then sure." She squeal before embracing me in a hug. Before everything ended, her body fade into me as she peck me on the cheek.

I scream, lot's of memories, not that I know until now, that flash before my eyes. THIS IS PAINFUL!!!

***

I cracked an eye open, but I didn't find myself laying down in my bed. My hazy vision caught sight of what looked like dirty old crystal structure.

Batting my eyelids, I tried clearing my vision to better take in the surroundings. As my sight cleared, I glanced around and saw piles of books and tables, couch, chairs, and their all made; (except for books and couch) out of crystals. Where the sundae am I? he wondered.
