"Hola Amigo's! So, what happens when two anime nerds like me and my best friend dress up in silly cosplay and go to a convention? Well, we end up transporting ourselves to a whole other universe. Just our luck, heh."

"You know when two best friends decided to go on an convention on silly costumes to have some random fun and do random stuff? Yeah, things like that can go either good or bad, on our case… Was strange enough to say at least" -Edward Starts-

"we ended up smack in the middle of a forest, with us having oddly become our cosplays. If we ever get back home, I say we never buy things from convention merchants….ever. Then again, having the ability to transmute things, along with the ability to hack anything that doesn't have a brain leads to some pretty crazy shenanigans with us nutcases." -Sombra Continued-
"so lets just hope nothing goes wrong, eh? oh who am I kidding, we're screwed."
"Hey! At least we have some chance of survival,right?" -Edward asks, hopefully-

Follow these two characters who got displaced out of their home and throw into an world they barely know about, and see what these two have reserved for us on this adventure, and just sit back and watch the chaos unfold…and hope Discord doesn't get jealous.

History Created not only by me, but with the help of my dear lover named Pixel… Don't worry tho, he'll make his appearence soon enough for you all!

The Prologue

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP:Friendship is Magic, FullMetal Alchemist:Brotherhood nor Overwatch, and I'll put this only on the start of the first chapter so if you want to re-read it, just go back to this chapter.

-Two friends named Henry and Edmond are going to a animagames con, each one with their own made up costume.

Edmond is with the classic Edward Elric from FullMetal Alchemist, even with a mechanical leg and arm to go with it.

Henry, for his part, has always been fond of purple. Something possessed him to create a costume that looks like someone smashed together a punk rocker and a computer genius...actually, he always has been pretty good with computers. Ascii code in particular is always second nature to him. As such, the hacker look.

mostly just a purple-ish cloak sort of outfit with this little bob he made out of his brown hair. The two friends seems to be walking and talking on the convention-

"I'm telling ya, I really think I could'a done more with the hair...at least I got the gloves right." -Said Henry. The gloves had little pointed tips, that looked like...either claws or slightly modified jack-ins for some of the more modern devices. Jokingly called "shiv USB's"- "course, it's missing somethin'....since I wasn't able to get my hands on Neon after all."

-apparently he had wanted his rather impressively made "cybernetic implants" to glow a little with neon. But couldn't get it. Ambitious fella.-

"well, you actually did great man, tho I'm really proud of my own costume" -Edmond said, pointing at his own costume he made by himself-

"yeah, I mean how did you even get those prosthetics right?" -Henry asked, curious-

"it was really hard to get the metal parts right... I had to make an whole schematic for it! -Edmond said- "tho I'm missing one thing"

"really?" -Henry asked, an eyebrow raised-

"the medallion who represents the badge of the Alchemists" -Edmond replied- "I didn't have it. Oh well"

"oh, yeah that's pretty major...hey, maybe you'll luck out and one of these stall guys'll have one." -Henry said, trying to find an solution for his problem-

"yeah, you're right... wait..." -Edmond said, looking at something- "isn't that the merchant from Resident Evil?" -Edmond asks, pointing to an nearby stall-

"huh?" -Henry looks.-

"come on! I want to see what he sells!" -Edmond walks towards it, hoping he find the badge-

"alright." -Henry walked over too.-

-the merchant is at his stall, seemingly just...waiting. All the other conventiongoers are ignoring him, for some reason. As the two approach, he grins eerily...wow, talk about a good resident evil cosplay.-

"Hey ol' man! I'm looking for an badge from FullMetal, do ya have one?" -Edmond asks, as he looks over the items on the stall.-

ah, a fine day to you two gentlemen. Edward Elric, I do believe, and...that's a rather interesting design choice of yours. -the Merchand said- So, you're looking for the badge, hmm? as a matter of fact...I do. You're in luck. It's the last one, too. -he said-

-Edward smiles widely- "Great! How much for it?" -he asked-

-he withdrew from a box, what looked to be an exact replica of the badge. Down to the tiny etchings, the shine, the feel of the metal...it looked to be a perfect copy.- well, most people would try to pawn this off on you at about 100$. I however, would consider myself a much more shrewd merchant. for you.... -the grin of the Merchant widened a little.- take it. I was going to pitch them anyway,  nobody else is buying, sadly. -he said, handing it to Edmond-

-Edmond picks it up, looking at it with awe- "Wow... its's perfect... and for free! It's almost a dream coming true!" -He says clearly excited-

-the Merchant seems happy- this is why I go to these things, you see....ah, to brighten up someone's day with the right trinket at the right time is simply divine. -the way he says "divine" is almost...spine tingling. And neither know why...-

"you're an god dude, simply an god" -Edmond said, putting the badge on his pocket-

-this makes him chuckle- not the first time I've been called that. Now...how about you, my good sir? -he turned to Henry.- see anything you like?

"well..." -Henry seemed kinda skeptical at first.- "ya got Neon or...something else to make these glow?" -he taps the "implants" which were really just some well detailed headphones.-

glow, hmm? I know just the thing -the Merchant said as he rummaged about in his inventories of items, most in locked boxes oddly enough, and produced a sparkling purple/pink dust-

just apply a little of that with the brush, and it'll glow in no time. -the Merchant said-

"sweeeet... How much for it?" -Henry asked-

well, normally I would give it to you for free too, but a man has to make a living somehow. So... Give me an nickel. -the Merchant said-

"...a nickel? that's it?" -Henry asked, increduously-

that's it. -the Merchant confirmed-

"woah...dude, you are like...the straight up most generous person I've ever met at one of these things." -Henry said, surprised by the Merchant's generosity-

-the Merchant chuckles- oh after today, you'll find someone even more so than me.

"I personally doubt about that... You just basicaly straight up gave these things to us... Thanks an lot man" -Edmond said with an smile-

go ahead, give it a shot. -the Merchant said-

-Henry went ahead and tried the...it kinda looked like glitter, on as the headphones actually started glowing purple a little.-

"Whoa..." -Both of them said as they look at it, amazed-

"thanks ma-" -the Merchant disappeared-

"uh... where'd he go?" -Henry said, looking around-

-Edmond noticed that too, and start to look around, to find nothing- "I dunno..." -he shrugs-

-unseen to the two of them, a black mist slipped under a locked door and vanished.-

"huh...guess he was missin' a deadline or something." -Henry said, shrugging too-

"Ok... well let's walk around more then, so we-" -Edmond was cut off when the bagde start to glow-

"huh? what the heck is it doing?" -Henry asked, looking at his pocket where the badge is-

"What the..." -Edmond picked up the badge from his pocket to look at it, only to the brightness to get more intense- "What's going on?" -he asked, barely managing to look at it-

"I dunno... This is kinda freaky...maybe you shouldn't keep holding it." -Henry replied, as Edmond notices something on his head-

"your headset!" -Edmond pointed, looking at it directly now-

"what about it?" -Henry tries to take it off, but somehow it wouldn't come off his head-

"it's glowing too!" -Edmond said, an bit scared now-

"aw geez...." -Henry said. Then, something clicked on his head- "what the heck did that merchant d-" -then suddenly, both of they blacked out-

-the Merchant, who was spectating everything from affar grins below his hood- and so it begins.... I hope both of you will prove me right.

-he let out an last laugh as his presence vanishes into the air-
