A Displaced Lich

It was two weeks later and Celestia had run out of time to tell Luna the truth about the fake blood the nobles where making Luna's night ponies take instead of the meat and blood they needed, to be fair though the nobles put a ban on the consumption of meat and blood apply to any sentient species in Equestria, that was the main reason you don't see many griffins or other meat eaters in Equestria.

"45 Tia! three garrison's worth of my Children of the Night forswore their oath to me and fled to another kingdom! because of your nobles blood and meat laws!" Luna screamed at Celestia, her eyes glowing white as the moon she loved.

"This is not my fault, Luna!" Celestia shouted back angrily, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Oh, are there more lies you would like to add to the list?" Luna raged. With a bright white flash she summoned a vial of the blood substitute. She waved it in front of Celestia's nose.

"When I returned, you told me of the ridiculous blood and meat laws those moronic nobles put on my thestrals. You told me of this, this drek you forced them to drink instead of the fluid of life they need. You swore to me that it was as good as the real thing. You PROMISED me that it would do them no harm!"

"And being the fool that I am, I believed you." Her eyes narrowed. "When I heard of my little night ponies abandoning me to sate their hunger, I secured vials of the potion for myself, and tested them. Do you know what I found?" The bottle shook in rage. "It was CRAP! Not half of the vital essences of real blood or meat, and mere traces of those, stirred in with a potion to suppress the appetite. This, this colored water would not nourish any omnivore!" Luna threw the bottle against a wall causing it to burst open with the sound of shattering glass as the pale pinkish liquid inside spilled to the floor and soaked into the carpet.

Celestia looked shocked and hurt, it was to late to tell her sister the truth now. "Luna, I swear to you I did not know." Celestia pleaded.

Luna turned to face her. "How could you not?" she screamed. "They were under your rule almost a century before I returned! Did you not question why my thestrals seemed So much weaker? Why they left the service for health reasons, near a decade sooner than your own Solar Guard? Why after returning from exile, they began slowly dying out?"

Celestia shook her head. "Luna, I never knew the inner workings of your thestrals the way you did, my physicians and alchemists, the best minds swore to me over and over that the synthetic blood was doing them no harm, it was never meant to be a permanent solution, just a temporary thing, till the ponies were used to them again. I knew the alchemist's blood was a poor substitute, but I felt it was more important to have your faithful followers returned to Equestria, and waiting for you when you returned."

"Then why did you banish them in the first place?" Luna's tone was cold and emotionless.

"It wasn't me who banished them! it was the house of nobles along with the rest of Equestria who did! had I tried to stop it there would have been full out riots and violence Luna! it pained me to see you gone, and to see my ponies being so racist to your ponies because they choose to stay with you even as Nightmare Moon."

Luna rolled her eyes and huffed. "You wished not to be seen as a tyrant yet in doing so you let the nobles pretty much take over the kingdom and force others to do what they wanted, even the earth ponies are abandoning you because the nobles and the Cloudsdale Weather Corporation raising their taxes and trapping them on their own land, and to make matters worse most earth ponies who haven't fled the kingdom have resorted to bootlegging because of your moronic prohibition laws, sister you have lost my respect because of the blood and meat laws, and because you let the nobles take control of the kingdom even though we both SWORE on our mother and fathers name that we would not let that happen no matter what happened, from this point on I am no longer an Equestrian princess and I do not want to see you again till you fix this kingdom,if you cannot do that than do not bother trying to contact me, and I am taking my ponies away from this shit show of a kingdom." Luna took off in flight, and popped a magic flare that was white, seconds after she did so around three hundred thestrals followed her in flight as they flew off into the distance.

Celestia stared at Luna as she flew off with her ponies, and broke down sobbing. It was hours later before she stopped and sat back onto her throne to start day court, but meanwhile Luna was flying towards the ruins of the Griffin Kingdom, she knew her ponies would be accepted there due to the fact griffins are omnivores, she saw a large herd of earth ponies moving there as well, and joined them, it would be three hours of following the tracks before they would make there way into Griffinstone.

I grinned seeing the mustang's flying outside from one of the many windows in the castle, why did I wish for mustang's and not jets you may wonder, because FUCK YOU! I love the old fashioned planes and had watched some documentaries on them, I was enjoying a nice meal of sausage, biscuit, and gravy, while I no longer needed to eat I did so because I like the taste, just as I was cutting into another biscuit a servant rushed in and bowed before he started talking.

"Your highness, I think we might have a small problem!" Ah Storm Claw, never change you glorious bastard.

"Do tell, because I love solving problems, with violence." My eyes flashed toxic green as I said that.

"With all due respect sir this kind of problem can't be solved with violence, a large herd of earth ponies and thestrals have showed up seeking shelter and new lives and have abandoned Equestria as a whole, but an Equestrian princess is with them, and claims she is done and has left the throne to look for a new home for her ponies and those that have followed her, what should we do sire?"

That was a lot of information to process, I thought for a few moments before I speaking up. "Find them places to stay and have them follow our laws, breaking these laws will result in harsh punishment and possible death, I am not to be disturbed as I have a matter of great importance to attend to."

"At once your highness." He bowed and quickly left the room, and I finished my meal before pulling out a gold bit from my pocket.

What may be so special about this bit you may wonder? for one it had a picture of Bill fucking Cipher on it and when I held it you could hear this exact sentence. "Hiya! Im Bill Cipher dream demon extraordinaire! Im not really a bad guy or a good guy, so if ya ever need any help then we can strike a deal!" I was so fucking confused when I first found the coin, but if what the voice in it said is true I might be able to gain some information on how I was sent here.

I tapped the coin, not sure how to reply to the message. "Um....I summon thee?" Pathetic I know, but the coin glew yellow before there was a flash of white and Bill himself was floating in front of me.

"Hiya! what can I do for ya?" He tipped his hat causing gravity to cry in agony for a few moments before it was returned to normal.

"Do you have any clue how I had gotten here?" I asked and it was fucking strange seeing him not on a screen.

"Oh so Im the first displaced you've summoned! well to answer your question, you my friend are whats known as a displaced, also known as dimensionaly misplaced being, either you went to a convention and bought something from a creepy fuck who looked like a merchant from resident evil, or met someone else entirely, either way you are displaced! but don't go thinking your special in any way aside from who ya are as there are thousands if not millions of others like us who got screwed up the ass by the merchant."

"Okay and my last question is, the hell is up with this coin?" I held up the bit I used to summon him.

He chuckled for a few moments. "That is a token, many displaced have them or call them by another name, all you need to do is find something and force some of your energy into it and say a phrase, now I would love to help further but Im missing an epic battle between Discord and Deadpool so bye!" He was gone in another flash and his bit on the floor, I picked up the bit and placed it back into my pocket.

"That was...weird yet informative." I shrugged and went about my plan again, and looked at the blueprints I took from my cloak pocket, those orbs I had I later found out were called obsidian orbs and my plan was to have one in the center of a barrel of black powder before blowing it up causing the green mist to go over large areas of land and air, and would petrify any who got caught in it, t'was the perfect plan aside from trying to choose who to use it on.

Checking a list of kingdoms I tried to choose what one to bomb with my new weapon, it would be at night with the planes painted black to hide better so it was most likely they wouldn't find who did it, there was Equestria, the Crystal Empire, the Minotaur Kingdom, the Caribou Empire, Zebrica, and the Changeling Empire. All are within range of my bomber planes thanks to the unlimited fuel wish for the planes when I asked Prismo for said planes to begin with.

I sighed and gave up trying to find one to bomb first, and decided I needed to use my magic, I had only used it once when I burned the rope from that orange bitch, walking outside I let out a small wave of green magic that soaked into the ground, I could sense bones of long dead warriors around me, and forced some of my magic into one of them.

I watched as a skeletal hand burst from the ground and with it another and a head as the long dead griffin pulled itself out from the ground, it had a red bronze armor on that was full of dents and scratches, its eyes had a sickly green glow in them and I was grinning hard, until I heard a voice behind me.

"You practice the dark arts?"

I turned around to see Luna, again if you watch the show even without paying much attention to it you tend to pick up things like names and locations even if ya don't wanna, she was 6 foot 3 and had on a midnight blue dress with silver mixed in, when I turned around I saw her pale a bit seeing as Im a seven foot tall skeleton that looks like something out of a horror movie that was to be expected.

"Yes, is that going to be a problem?" My eyes once again flashed toxic green as a warning.

She shook her head. "No, unlike my moronic sister I know that the dark arts are only dark if used to cause mass death."

I shrugged and waved my hand, and the griffin's bones fell into a heap motionless, the green glow from its skull gone. "So what brought you to my domain?"

Oh now she looked pissed. "My sister has let the nobles take over the kingdom, and in doing so almost condemned my little night ponies to extinction due to lack of meat and blood in their diets, she is loosing control over the kingdom faster than she can handle it, I gave up my throne in Equestria because I knew my ponies would not be accepted there due to the blood and meat laws, along with the nobles, so even if I did have a problem with it I would have no power to do anything against you without invoking your wrath."

"Well you and others are welcome here, stay out of my way, and don't as questions about my plans for this world, and we will get along just fine, maybe even be friends! but remember, I don't tolerate others braking my laws, any who do so will be punished as if they are citizens of this empire, regardless of status or titles."

She nodded. "Seems reasonable, I shall leave you alone for now, perhaps we can talk more over some tea or alcohol." She spread her wings and took off in flight.

I look the the bones of the griffin I had raised from the dead before having it rebury itself and walked back into the castle to the training grounds, griffin troops where training to use the weapons I had gotten them, and a few days ago I had wished for fifty world war two battleships that ran on gas with 50 cal anti air weapons, they where like the ones the USA had during that time, but there where a few things I wasn't gonna wish for, nukes being one of em cause fuck that I am not destroying the world completely, and I had introduced radio communication as well, so my troops could talk to each other at any time on the field of battle anywhere. And the best part about the wishes I had is I could wish for something and all I would have to do is say a specific number, and the battleships ammo supply would respawn every ten minutes, same for the planes I had.

Looking over the information I had some griffins gather for me about other kingdom's military might it was kinda pathetic compared to mine, wooden ships with muzzle loading cannons for the navy? and they shot stone cannon balls not even metal ones, airships that use explosive gas to keep afloat? those could be taken down by my M2 50 cal anti air guns, and for artillery every kingdom just had large cannons that needed TWENTY soldiers to load a five ton cannon ball, I had just asked Prismo for a hundred howitzers to be specific they where M777 field howitzers that could lob a 155 millimeter shell 25 miles. And for troops on the ground I wished for a few hundred RPG's so they could take out an enemy airship if needed.

Now so most of you out there this may seem like Im being far to over powered, and you would be right! but I like to think of it like this, there's no kill like overkill, and besides the fact Im the fucking bad guy and don't care what others think of me, speaking of I noticed when I was turned into the Lich my emotions were....dulled, they where still there but they where dulled down, like when you have a glass of juice and someone waters it down, you can tell the difference.

I looked over the map of the world, and decided I would take back the griffin isles, it belonged to the Griffin Kingdom before ponies invaded and settled there just before the collapse of the Griffin Kingdom, building the city of Trottingham, and I was gonna take that island back, because it would be the perfect area to place field artillery that could bombard any incoming ships or airships with anti air fire, and because it was only twenty miles away from Griffinstone itself so the ships docked in the harbor should be able to hit the islands without even needing to leave the damned harbor.

Clicking the button on the hand held radio I had on me at all times. "Its time, fire the shells, explosive armor piercing and armor piercing incendiary shells, your target is the shore of Trottingham, it shall serve as a warning to leave or face extermination."

The radios buzzed to life with orders being sent down to the battleships, and the large 310 millimeter cannons on the ship slowly turned towards the islands and let loose ten shells with loud bangs causing the ship to rock back some.

Ponies in Trottingham heard a loud whistling sound before 310 millimeter shells impacted just off the shores of the main island, causing ponies to scream and flee in terror, while the royal guard and solar navy had seen the shells come from the ruins of the Griffin Kingdom, and had ten navy ships sail out to engage the hostile griffins, along with royal airships, while the royal guards who stayed behind helped those who where panicking.

I grinned watching this with the use of a scrying spell, it was like a live action movie, I watched as my battleships moved out of the harbor to engage the primitive wooden ships, they where under orders not to underestimate Equestrian firepower however, because you never know what can happen in the tide of battle.

Iron Shine the captain of the Trottingham branch of the royal navy watched as large ships FAR larger than their own slowly moved forward, the ships where made of metal for Celestia's sake! they should be sinking not sailing! and how are they even sailing without masts to catch the wind!? "Where is my airship support!?" He screamed into the communication spell, after he said that three Equestrian royal navy airships floated into view and took place above the Equestrian navy ship.

Iron Shine grinned. "Ha lets see them talk big now." Just after he said that a loud voice boomed from the metal monster of a ship.

"By order of his majesty the Lich King you are to vacate the Griffin Isles or be terminated, you have five minutes to comply before shelling of the island will begin."

Iron growled and grabbed his communication stone. "Fire the cannons at that airship!"

The royal airships shot twelve pound cannon balls, enough to breach the normal wooden ships all kingdoms used, but they shattered upon impact when hitting the ship, and Iron along with the crew of his ship and the airships noticed a large shadow slowly blocking the sun before most of the Equestrian's paled.

Ya see I knew about the world war one zeppelins, how could I not Im a history nut, but anyway the point is, I asked prismo for zeppelins that where seven hundred feet long, four hundred feet wide, and kept afloat with helium bags that would never leak unlike modern zeppelins and unlike the world war one versions this was driven through the sky using six jet engines and the command center was connected through the entire airship so that it was one large motherfucker, this thing was armed with MK-19 automatic grenade launchers and 50 caliber browning machine guns along with three tons of bombs, and howitzers, you heard me right six M777 howitzers built into the sides, three for each side of the massive ship, it was the behemoth of the Griffin air force.

And one of them was above the ship I had sent to 'negotiate' the ponies 'willing' vacating of the islands.

Iron Shine looked up at the massive airship, before grabbing his communication stone again. "Fire on that airship! I want it taken down NOW!" The royal airships fired upon the massive airship, only to get taken down by howitzer fire, along with grenades being shot at it by the MK-19 grenade launchers on bored the ship, one of the ships started flying away with its engines smoking as it flew towards Canterlot.

Iron Shine looked to the massive weapons of war pointed at them, before doing the wise thing and fleeing for his damned life along with everyone else on the ship, soon after that the shelling of Trottingham began and civilians and guards alike started evacuating, two hours later I controlled the Griffin Isles and once again griffins settled down on the islands, turning it into a military outpost.
