Displaced: Fallen Kingdom

Equestria

Makeshift Hospital

Fuck his head hurt. Felt like he got hit by a car… again. Noah thought as he turned, groaning slightly as his brain decided to pulse, damn, that felt like a boxer was using skull as a sandbag. “Ugh~ fuck…” The teen muttered as he reached for the pillow and buried his face into it. Damn this was a comfy pillow, bed wasn’t half bad either.

…

…

Wait.

Bed? Shaking for a moment the Noah felt around. Yeah he was definitely on a bed, weird last he remembered was --

“N’bb fglmc rni hllhr!”

Eyes snapping open Noah sat up like a rocket, and from the sudden noise he heard he knocked something over but he didn’t care. He looked around, jumped out of bed ready for a fight before falling on his face. Accident or not it pulled him out of his battle hazed mind, forcing him to calm down as he took in his surroundings. Was this a hut? Certainly looked like it. If a hut appeared as a makeshift hospital. ‘There shouldn’t be any place like this in Manhattan.’ Manhattan was a city of brick, and iron, sure the parks appeared kind of big but none of them would have a straw hospital. Least he was pretty sure there weren’t any. So that raised a question, where the hell was he? "Lets try and get our head on straight what happened…? I went to the museum. I got in a fight…” He crossed his arms for a moment. “I won… then blacked out from blood loss.” He muttered before frowning. “That’s all I seem to remember so… what… happened... after…” He looked at his hands, or at least tried to. His hands were gone apparently. There wasn’t any pain, there wasn’t any phantom limb syndrome it was more like… he made a fist and couldn’t unclench it. Looking at his hand though… “What the shit?” He muttered before looking at his other hand to find it gone as well, then his legs, to find they looked the same, and - where the hell were his abs? He felt his face for a moment, breathing a few times before swiping his hand at air, creating a hazy red mirror to look through.

He stared at his reflection for a moment, blinked and watched it mimic his movements.

“ZKDW WKH VKLW!!??”

The entire village heard the yell, several sprand out of their beds while others stopped what they were doing and looked around in confusion.. “What the?” A pony muttered as they heard the call of some foreign tongue.

“Who's yelling?”

“What language is that?”

Celestia perked up as she heard the noise, her attention, like everyone else turning to the hospital. “Sister.” Luna muttered as she caught her elder’s attention. “It appears our guest has awakened.”

***

He was a horse. He was a fucking, pastel colored, cartoon looking horse! What the actual shit!? Why was he a horse? He took a moment to breath, watching his reflection mimicked the action. Calming himself though he took another look at himself Well at least he sort of recognized himself; kind of. Definitely recognized the hair -mane(?)- as his own. A mess of two-toned purple and black. He recognized the eyes too, the amber-gold he and his sister had been born with. His skin -coat(?)- was still chocolate colored. That was all he recognized. The hooves, the horn, the tail, those definitely weren’t there before. He moved his tail watching it sway in the air for a moment. He made a noise… muttering something under his breath before raising a hoof. Without waiting a second he slugged himself in the face.

“Ah fuck… ok real, definitely real.”He noted as he released a noise and continued to stare at his reflection for a moment. “But… why am I even… what in Gaea’s grace happened?” No one answered as he continued to stare at his reflection for a moment longer“… know what I ain’t got a clue, but I’m honestly not all that mad.” The teen stated after a while and shrugged. “Look at me, I’m fucking adorable.” He stated before touching his forehead, specifically the long horn poking out his head. “This though, I could do without it.”

Dismissing his mirror he made a noise and looked around. “Ok that aside I now have three questions; 1 where the fuck am I? 2, where are my clothes? 3…” He stumbled and dropped when he tried walking. “How the fuck do I walk straight?” He questioned before trying again. Failing miserably before repeating the process. “Shit… fuck… ok one more - SHIT FUCK!!!”

“Rk!” Freezing the teen turned horse turned his attention to the side as he caught sight of another pastel colored horse stepping into the room. This one though, this one had to of been a female. Eyelashes gave it away. “Zh zhuhq'w hashfwlqj brx wr eh xs vr vrrq.”

…

“What?” Noah raised an eyebrow as he looked at the female. Whether it was in bewilderment or confusion was up for grabs but the safe bet was on the later.

“Pb qdph lv Qxuvh Uhgkhduw, L'p wkh qxuvh lq fkdujh ri orrnlqj diwhu brx Pu…” Noah just stayed silent blinking a few times before hitting the side of his head.

“Again… what?” She was trying to say something as she approached, pulling out some medical equipment… somehow and started trying to look him over. “Yeah~ who - what are you?”

“Hafxvh ph?” She blinked in confusion. “L'p vruub zkdw glg brx vdb?”

“What did you just say?”

“L'p… L'p vruub L fdq'w xqghuvwdqg br.”

“I have no idea what your saying…” The two went quiet as they stared at each other. The nurse(?) having finished her check up as she stared at the taller figure. After a while though Noah shrugged and he suddenly grabbed her face between his hand - pardon hooves and started messing with it.

“H-hafxvh ph zkdw duh brx… ?”

“Squishy, kinda like playdough - no playdoughs rougher…” The horse made a noise one that he couldn’t quite understand as he continued to knead her face. Was her tail wagging?

“Duh zh lqwhuuxswlqj vrphwklqj?”

“L wklqn vr vlvwhu.” Hearing the two new voices the female horse released a noise as she froze. Noah stopped his action as he looked towards the new pair.

“Brxu pdmhvwlhv; w-wklv lvq'w zkdw lw orrnv olnh!”

“Wuxob, ehfdxvh lw orrnv olnh brxu hqmrblqj klv wrxfk Qxuvh Uhgkhduw.”

“Txlwh vr.”

“L gr qrw eodph brx qxuvh, kh lv txlwh kdqgvrph.” One of the two new faces made a noise as they released a playful smile.

“Never thought I’d think that about a horses expressions…” Noah muttered.

“Q -qr lw'v qrw olnh wkdw L zdv vlpsob frplqj lq wr fkhfn rq klp zkhq kh vxgghqob judeehg pb idfh dqg-”

“Fdop brxuvhoi Uhgkhduw zh vlpsob mhvw. Zh xqghuvwdqg brx zrxog qrw gr dqbwklqj xqsurihvvlrqdo zkloh zrunlqj.”

“Wkdw vdlg frxog brx hafxvh xv iru d prphqw qxuvh? Zh'g olnh wr vshdn zlwk rxu qhz iulhqg.” The tallest said something as Noah frowned. Seriously what the hell were these animals saying?

“B - bhv ri frxuvh sulqfhvv. Eb brxu ohdyh.” The smallest of horses left in an instant, bowing to the two much to Noah’s confusion. When she left though the two approached, keeping a bit of distance between him and them as they looked him over. Without much prompting he did the same. One was much taller than him, the other, they stood side by side he could probably rest his chin on their forehead. Both were females - again the eyelashes gave it away. Both had horns like him, though there’s were much longer and sharp looking. Not only that; but the taller one had a much longer horn than he did; curiously though, they both had wings as well. One was white the other was dark blue. Certainly didn’t look like any horses he’d seen before, then again he hadn’t seen much horses in his life. What really confused him though, was the regula they wore.

“Krz duh brx idlulqj?” The tallest said something as Noah stayed silent a few times.

“… hi.”

“L nqrz brx pxv kdyh txhvwlrqv dqg L dvvxuh brx zh'oo dqvzhu wkhp wr wkh ehvw ri rxu delolwb, wudyhohu exw iluvw -”

“What the hell are you saying?” Noah groaned out in exasperation as he looked at the tallest. “Seriously I haven’t the slightest clue what you guys - girls have been saying for the past couple minutes. Can you speak English, please?” The tallest went silent for a moment as her counterpart looked at her.

“Zkdw glg kh vdb?”

“L… L'p qrw fhuwdlq.” The taller replied before biting her lips. “Kh'v...kh'v vshdnlqj dqrwkhu odqjxdjh.” The smaller groaned.

“Rk ghdu… L grq'w uhfdoo xv uljjlqj wkh vshoo lq rughu wr wudqvodwh rxu odqjxdjh.”

“Zh qhyhu qhhghg wr...zh edvhg lw rq d wbslfdo vxpprqlqj vshoo, vr zh mxvw dvvxphg lw zrxog eh deoh wr xqghuvwdqg xv olnh doo wkh rwkhuv suhylrxvob vxpprqhg…”

“Wkhq krz duh zh jrlqj wr krog d frqyhuvdwlrq zkhq -”

“ENGLISH!” Noah shouted after a moment as he startled the two. “I can speak six different languages, read seven but I can not understand a word you two are saying. Can you speak English, please?”

“Rk ghdu… wklv pljkw eh d sureohp… gr zh kdyh dqb zdb wr wudqvodwh iru klp?”

“Shukdsv? L frxog dwwhpsw wr phog rxu plqgv wrjhwkhu olnh zkhq L guhdp zdon, svbfklfdoob lpsodqw rxu odqjxdjh lqwr klv khdg.” The smaller one narrowed her eyes as she stepped forward, her horn glowing as Noah immediately went on guard. “L gr qrw phdq brx kdup.” She tapped her forehead, that gestured to his own. Raising an eyebrow Noah nodded slightly before stepping forward. She reached for his forehead, letting her horn touch his own.

He recognized this feeling, it was magic. The winged unicorn was using magic, but something was off about it… and he didn’t just mean it was because of this was different than his families style of arcane. There was something about it, something just straight up weird about her magic. Before he could question it further though, he felt something poking at his mind. Magic searching for something before finding it. That was when it started feeling a bit weird. It wasn’t like that feeling when someone tried rewriting his brain and overpowering it, it was more like she was trying to implant something; a thought, a letter, a sound, a word.

Language. She was trying to give him her language. He muttered something under his breathe; new letters - new numbers before frowning, the horse - mare - did as well. Vocal cords were having trouble making the right sounds. He was getting it though, mentally anyway. Would just need a moment to to harmonize his vocals with the words.

The mare stepped back, cutting their psychic link as she took a moment to gather herself. “Luna?”

“I’m fine… reaching into his mind is just… difficult.” The mare - Luna muttered as she looked at her counterpart. “It is different, un-Equestrian in origin.” The mare muttered as she looked back at the teen. “I just hope I succeeded.” Noah stared at the two for a moment before closing his eyes and starting to mutter something over his breathe. “Can you… understand us?”

“The pleasure of Buzby’s company is what I most enjoy. He put a tack on Miss Yancy’s chair when she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room. I count on his schemes to reveal the…”

“What is he saying?” The teen continued to mutter under his breath as the mares looked at one another.

“I’m… not certain.”

“... a way to escape my gloom.” Noah finished his muttering as he raised a hoof to his throat. “Glad that actually works.” The teen stated to both the pairs surprise. “What language am I speaking?”

“B - basic.” Luna whispered as she stared at the teen. “Even with the language implant, I had not expected you to grasp it so quickly.”

“Trick I learned from a movie…” Noah stated as he looked at the pair for a moment. “So~ who… what are you? Where am I?”

“Ah yes, well I am Princess Luna of Equestria, and this is my elder sister Princess Celestia.” Luna gestured to herself and her sister as Noah raised an eyebrow.

“Princesses?”

“Yes.”

“Horse… Princesses?”

“Pony to be exact.” Celestia corrected as Noah stared at the pair for a moment before looking to the side and and eventually before looking back at them.

“Ok~.”

“And you are?”

“My name is Noah Astray Bellerosé; seventh son of Damian - husband of Vanessa. Eighth and youngest heir of the Bellerosé family bloodline.” Noah repeated his greeting from his meeting with Lucretia as the pair bowed at him, he more or less returned it, trying to bow to the apparent royals before giving up.

“We welcome you to Equestria, Noah Astray Bellerosé… what remains of it anyway.” Luna stated as she and her sister rose back up.

“You must have questions.”

“Oh you have no idea.” Noah muttered as he sat on his haunches and crossed his front hooves.

“We will do all that we can to answer your questions Noah, but first… why don’t we speak somewhere a bit more… private.” Celestia stated as she looked behind her, and so did Noah, both seeing a small crowd of ponies peeking into the room from the doorway.

“Yeah~ I’m with you on that one, but can I get my gear back first? Particularly my pants?”

“Urgh~” Leaning back in her seat the mare groaned as she stared off into space, watching the dust particles fly by before her. “Nrh~” she turned her attention elsewhere as she pouted. “Grh~” Another groan and she closed her eyes. “I’m bored.” The mare muttered as she pulled herself from her seat and started pacing around her room. Since her boss had her awaken the True Queen she’d been bored out of her mind. The Queen’s power, her storm, it had been beautiful, but everything after had been uncomfortably dull. Couldn’t be helped considering these past few weeks she’d been on standby. Boss didn’t want her targeting Celestia - least not yet anyway. Had to wait till he got back from… whatever it was that he was doing at the time. “What in Tartarus could he be doing that takes a few couple weeks?”

“Business.” The mare twisted her head as she heard the stallion call out to her. “Apologies I wasn’t expecting to be gone for so long.”

“Oh thank the Goddess you’re back…” The mare muttered as she returned to her seat. “You finished with whatever you were working on?”

“Yes, everything’s in order. Did you enjoy your time off?” The mare just rolled her eyes.

“Not a chance.” The mare muttered as her boss tilted his head. “I admit watching the storm had been fun. I admit getting hammered at a makeshift bar was fun but these past couple days have been boring as shit.” She muttered before shrugging. “Never thought I’d say this but I’d rather be working, or so smashed I’d be waking up in two weeks wondering what I did.”

“I wouldn’t recommend that.” Her boss stated as he walked over, leaning over the couch to look at his counterpart. “Drinking is an enjoyable vice, but one to do sparingly. Getting so hammered you can’t even think straight. Never a good idea my dear.”

“Whatever dad.” She rolled her eyes. “Can I get back to work now, all this waiting around has me bored out of my skull.”

“Then by all means.” The stallion shrugged as he backed away from mare. “Time to continue our contract.” Darkness and red started to wrap around the mare as she grinned viciously.

“Gladly.”
