The house was clean, with no sign of dust littered about the place, as if someone has been here. Everything was exactly as I left it, nothing stolen, nothing taken away, everything was in perfect condition and was in its spot. I checked what year it was on the TV. Only a week has passed since we had gotten displaced, though mom was nowhere in sight.

"Is that you I hear Aaron?" I heard from the bathroom down the hall. "Hold on a second, just finishing up a call with nature over here!"

I sighed. It feels a bit refreshing to hear that voice again.

Definitely more... vocal about what he's doing though.

Told you he has no standards.

I sat at the couch, taking off my helmet as soon as I did so in wait for him. Sure enough a half minute later he came out of the hall, using his left arm to hold his helmet at the side, a smile on his face. I noted that since our displacement he's gotten a little taller than me.

"Knew the dude wasn't lying," he said, moving to sit on the couch too. He pulled a data chip out of his pockets, offering it to me. "Here, this should help you get back to your old self. Made this one after figuring out how to copy emotions into data. Just place it on top of your head, the SIVA in your body will cause it to be quickly absorbed."

I nodded, putting it on top of my head. I waited as the hairs on my head shifted, and I felt the flesh around my head make way for the chip. This went on for 10 seconds, before coming to a stop. I suddenly felt a sense of a long, unfulfilled hunger for something I hadn’t even known I wanted finally being sated, the flesh closing up and leaving me normal again.

"...Huh. Didn't hurt this time around. What did you do to make that happen?"

"The chip stimulated the dopamine receptors to take away the pain as it got in, thus making it painless. It won't last forever, but at best you get a headache. Now," He then put his feet on the table. "tell me about your universe. Or would you rather I tell mine? It's been quite a while anyways, so I'm leaving preference up to you.

I hummed in thought. "Well it's not exactly a pretty one. See, I got sent to a Equestria that was taken over by this asshole named Dainn-"

He raised his hand. "Say no more. I'm going to assume you had already freed Equestria before Discord sent you here?"

"That..." I trailed off for a moment. "isn't very far off from the story actually. I also met a few displaced while I was there."

He smiled. "I'll have to meet them. Gotta be good people if they helped you out right?"

I nodded, pulling out Circuit Breaker from its holster to show it to Inigo. "The first displaced, also known as the huntsman, gave me this sword. He also gave me a key, so that I could return to his arena. I just have to use it on anything that's a door."

"A key that functions like SCP-860? Either he's really powerful, or a void dweller helped him shape that key."

"Funny you say that, because he's quite literally his own arena. I don't think there's anything beyond what you see there though, never gotten to see if there was really an outside of the place."

He hummed in thought. "May I have that key? I'd like to pay a visit myself, see what challenges the huntsman may have for me. Plus Radegast has given me a lot of sword training." He then pulled out a sword handle, it suddenly turning into an actual sword. "I say that, cause he is my sword!"

The sword then vibrated in a groan, surprising me. "Inigo, I swear the next battle we have, you're on your own."

Skorri then threw me out of control, the armor changing so fast, that it would've made chameleons look bad if they were there. Skorri then pulled the sword out of Inigo's grasp as hard as my body could, Inigo having no time to resist.

"What are you-" Inigo was cut off as Skorri sheathed Circuit Breaker, and smiled at the sword.

"Hey there big guy. Remember me?"

"That armor scheme... I can only think of one person who likes to run those colors."

Skorri then leaned in to whisper, “When we get actual bodies, you and I are going to have a lot of 'training' to do.”

The sword grumbled. "Damn warlocks and their sword glides..." Those words being the only thing I can make out of it.

"Riiight," Inigo drawled, taking Radegast back in his grasp. "I'm pretty sure that's Skorri who took Radegast from me right there. Skorri, can this be done at another time? We're trying to have a conversation."

Less than a few minutes in, and you've already embarrassed me. Why am I not surprised?

If you've lived as long as me, you'd know some things are better said immediately rather than later. The armor changed back at its usual rate, and I felt control coming back. Now go back to what you were doing.

I awkwardly coughed, looking away in slight embarrassment. "Sorry about that. Skorri's mind only seems to be on things of sexual nature."

He smirked in amusement. "Figured as much."

"So," I said a little louder than I usually am. "I believe that you owe me a story as well?"

He blanched in disgust. "Not very different from yours. Well, except for the fact I had girls of literally every kind trying to rape me."

My eyes hardened into a interrogative glare. "You didn't let them do it did you?"

"Hell no! Especially since a nice portion of them were loli girls. The day I stick my dick in a succubus or loli, is the day where I truly go insane." He sighed, getting up from the couch. "I'm going to grab a drink real quick. You want anything?"

"A bottle of cola from the fridge would be nice."

He nodded, moving into the kitchen. A few moments later, he came back with it in his right hand, a can of Sprite in his other. I took the drink from him, remembering to thank him afterwards. He opened up his can of Sprite, taking a sip of it.

"I actually do know the universe though," he started off, taking a sip before continuing, "and apparently I'm 20 whole years before the universe's story even started. So I'm left with monster girls to fuck, and be fucked by. Considering there wasn't anybody I was just going to carelessly shove my dick in, I decided to take up mercenary work, whether it'd be by a displaced, or an inhabitant of the realm I was in. There's not a single foe who I can battle in an actual sword fight, and those who can are incredibly weak."

I raised a brow, taking a few sips from my drink before speaking. "Literally nobody is good enough?"

"Well, there is Granberia, but she's 5, and only a tenth of my strength, so it still wouldn't be a fight to begin with. Plus, I really don't think it'd be a good idea to piss off the world's only, and incredibly powerful fire spirit, Salamander." He cracked a grin. "I did make myself a bit of a myth around there though. Saved plenty of humans from death, as well as scared off ridiculously powerful monsters, like some of Promenstein's creations. Ugly bitches those things are." He then lost his grin, sighing before choosing to gulp down the rest of the drink. "Honestly? I would've traded mine for yours in a heartbeat. Slicing up some dumb fucks would've been better than slicing up smart fucks with actual lives."

I nodded. "Must've been a bad place to train."

"Exactly. Which is why," he then stood up. "I'm going to need that key for a few. Maybe the huntsman will have something I can slice at." He outstretched his arm, opening the palm of his hand for the key. I downed the rest of the cola, leaving the bottle on the couch before standing up. I reached into one of my pockets, and...

Wait. I thought to myself as I grabbed the other object, and pulled out to see two keys! Did he sneak this in while I wasn't looking? I stared at the extra for a second, before shrugging and giving the extra to him.

"It's actually good timing too," I quickly noted.

"Oh?" he said, looking at me inquisitively as he put the extra key in his pocket.

"Remember when I said I met a few displaced? I still have yet to tell of you the SIVA wraith... zombie, thing or whatever the guy is."

"So the other guy you met was a physical form of SIVA?!" he exclaimed. "Dude, that's so goddamn broken!"

"Pretty sure it is, though I haven't gotten to see his normal abilities. He summoned, as well as controlled, a graug and helped me take over the Crystal Empire. Though I'm pretty sure the whole graug thing caught the huntsman's attention, which means those two are probably in a bit of a scuffle."

"So get in, tell the huntsman that the graug is his, and maybe fight a few beasts?" He held Radegast across his shoulder. "Sounds like a good plan to me!"

He's probably striking some sort of pose from a video game. "Essentially. But don't you think you should introduce me to some of your friends? After all, this is just some guy who fought with me at the Empire against small fry. There's really no need to intervene."

He hummed in thought. "Well you got a point." He then reached into his own pockets, shuffling around for a bit before pulling out a SIVA cluster and placing it on the couch. "I met a displaced SIVA titan as I messed about the place. She asked me for some help with a tough foe back at her dimension, so we kicked its ass with fire and lightning." He then clenched his open fist, traces of arc energy around it. "I was the lighting raining too many blows against the sod." He then unclenched, and picked up the cluster. "Wonder what she's up to now?"

I smirked. "Only one way to find out what your girlfriend is doing huh?"

He stared blankly at me. "You know, that's supposed to be my line..."

*Complex ???*
*3XXX Earth*

A lone scouting drone moves to up to a lone computer, activating and using it to open a large door. Behind the door, a man in modified warlock SIVA armor stood staring at the door, as if in waiting.

"What is the newest report on Rasputin? Has he finally left the universe?"

"AS YOU HAVE PREDICTED, WARMIND. OPERATION 72727983 IS NOW ON WAY TO FULL PROGRESSION. SHALL WE ATTACK THE BROKEN REALM AS LAID IN THE PLANS?"

"No. Our most prominent threat has yet to be removed from the field. Spy on the last draconequus. Those inferior machines should be taking him soon, and when they do, return so I may commence the invasion."

"AS YOU COMMAND, WARMIND."

As the scouting drone left, the man turned to a console, pressing a button. Various monitors lit up, showing each and every city of Equestria from a multitude of different angles.. "You thought you have fended me off, successfully spared me from your pitiful mess you call a civilization... how wrong you are to assume someone of my caliber would let go so easily." He looked to a monitor, spotting Discord annoying Princess Celestia. "You're but a foolish pawn in a game of chess you are, thinking such a thing. Nobody beats a true AI built for war in a game of chess. Not even a 'god of chaos', as you would call yourself, Discord."

Author's Note

First chapter out of Equestria! Hmmm, I wonder how many displaced fics have gotten out of it. That's a thought right there.
