Since enough people were confused by the previous version of the story "link here" I'll say this here. The ponies are humans so No Anthro Tag is needed. Though not all races are humans and I'll provide a full race chart if asked. Awakening In the city of Canterlot, it is a great day, the royal wedding of Captain Shining Armor and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, or as she was also known as Cadence, and apart from a hiccup that had been dealt with; the ceremony was going perfectly. As Princess Celestia was in the middle of saying how great the love between Cadence and Captain armor was, the door to the room was blown wide open. And down the aisle walked a figure dressed in dark purple and dark red armor with a helmet covering their face, their laughter broke the shocked silence. “Who are you?” Celestia demanded. “Me?” The figure smirked, though it was unnoticed due to their helmets “I’m just here to make sure that this day really goes off without a hitch, which means I gotta delay the wedding till the real bride makes it here.” Celestia was confused; ‘Real bride?’ what did this person mean. She took a glance at Cadence before turning back to the figure before taking a step forward. “If you wish to confuse me then you better come up with some better lies.” She said as a rapier appeared in her hand. The figure laughed before saying “Please if I was looking for a fight with you I wouldn’t lie.” The figure paused; “I’d just rush you head-on.” summoning a strange blade, it was a black giant key. But before the figure could do anything a small bat-like creature showed up behind ‘her’, whispering to her. “Hmm; well; good. I was getting bored talking anyway. Looks like the proof is here.” and just as she said that Twilight Sparkle ran into the room with another Cadence who looked to have a ‘messy brawl’ appearance. “Wait, two Cadence’s?” Pinkie asked confused. “No, she’s a changeling. She takes the form of someone you love and gains power by feeding off your love for them.” The Cadence said. “Yep, and if you weren’t stupid you’d also have noticed that she was weakening the barrier with those spells she kept casting on the ‘good’ Captain.” The figure said rudely. The changeling burst into a pillar of green flames and seconds later revealed her true form. Obsidian black women that looked to have elf ears and insect-like wings with wing shells. “I don’t know who you are but you won’t ruin my plans.” The Changeling claimed. “No,” Celestia said getting the changeling attention. “You won’t. You may have made it impossible for Shining Armor to perform his spell. But now that you have so foolishly revealed your true self, I can protect my subjects from you!” Celestia said as she launched a beam of magical energy from her rapier towards the Changeling to which the changeling responded by firing their own magical energy, causing the two to clash. Just as the changeling was winning; the rocks started flying from a tear in reality causing the changeling to lose concentration long enough for Celestia to win the struggle and causing the Changeling to be knocked to the ground. Celestia turned to the figure who was holding it’s blade in the air. The changeling, realizing that this was a losing battle, teleported away in green flames. The figure then turned away and opened a shadowy portal. “Well my job is done. Oh; just as a warning for next time, we may not be on the same side.” Before it walked through the shadows; the figure looked at Twilight and spoke one last time. “Twilight Sparkle, you’re not who you think you are.” Leaving the whole room confused as the figure disappeared along with the portal. A few weeks have passed since that event and everything has returned to normal apart from Twilight, who kept thinking of what the figure said. “What did they mean ‘I’m not who I think I am’?” She asked herself while also wondering why they felt familiar. Watching her looking out of thought for who knows how many times, Spike sighed. “Twilight, you’ve looked through everything and you haven’t found anything, they were clearly just saying nonsense.” “But why? Why me specifically?” Twilight asked before placing her head on her desk before the bell on the front door rang and she got up from her desk to head downstairs. As she reached the bottom of the stairs she saw her friends standing there. “What are you guys doing here?” Twilight asked. Pinkie was the first to speak “You called us here remember silly?” Twilight grabbed her head remembering that she did ask Spike to get them here. “Right...Sorry, I’ve been busy.” She said; scratching the back of her head. “What did I ask you here for again?” She asked. The five looked confused as Rainbow Dash asked; “You sure you’re okay, Twilight?” before explaining. “You called us here because Celestia sent a message.” And it was at that moment that Twilight snapped back to reality. “What! How could I forget about that!” She asked herself while having a mini nervous breakdown. “Well at least she’s back to normal.” Spike said. Pinkie asked. “So~... What did the Princess need us for?” Twilight couldn’t answer as she was in mid breakdown so Spike answered. “There was a magical disturbance in the whitetail woods and the Princess wanted you to be on the lookout, she doesn’t know if its Changelings or whoever that strange person that showed up at the wedding was.” A few days ago in the White Tail Woods, Lyra and Bon Bon were going for their weekly jog. As they got to the halfway point of the trail they heard something in the bushes. “Wait here.” Bonbon said as she slowly went to investigate. What she found was a person lying on the ground unconscious. “Lyra, come here, I need your help.” “What is it Bon Bon?” Lyra asked before seeing the unconscious person on the ground. He was a male up to 6.2 tall. Short brown hair, bright peach skin and dark blue eyes. Plain green shirt that has black mostly cover the chest, left cuff just below the elbow line and back. Black sweatpants for his lower parts and just below are white socks and black track sneakers. “Help me pick him up.” Bon Bon asked attempting to lift the person up on her own. Lyra was nervous as she walks up to the other side of the stranger. “Ar-are you sure it's not one of those changeling things?” “He’s unconscious, I’m pretty sure changeling’s magic works like Elfin magic. They can’t use magic when knocked out.” Bon Bon explained. “Fine. But if we get turned into mindless slaves ‘I’m’ using whatever brainpower I have left to spite you.” Lyra joked. An hour later the two managed to take the unconscious person to their home and placed him on their couch. “Alright, keep an eye on him. I’m going to see if Nurse Redheart can see if she can help us.” Bon Bon said and went as fast as she could to get said person. “But isn’t today her day off?” Lyra asked the already gone Bon Bon, she sighed. “I hate it when she does that.” “Agh-hmm, my head.” A voice said from the couch as Lyra realized the person was waking up. “Ah, crap baskets.” Lyra said. OriginIt was chaos, pure and simple, the city of Ottawa was burning while the city was surrounded by rioters, police failing to keep the peace and Military trying to protect what they could. Luckily, my family and I were far from any towns and on the Quebec side of the river so we were spared the majority of the carnage. But as the day turned to night we heard over the radio that there was a safe place a few towns away, in the mountains. My parents loaded the family car, my older sister made sure we didn’t forget anything while I kept an eye on the radio to make sure that anything didn’t happen that would screw with our plans of getting to safety. My mom made a quick check that everyone was here before starting the car and driving off. Hours passed as the drive as I began to fall asleep as It was late at night and I had nothing really to do by looking outside. I awoke in confusion and with blurred vision. I could only see white no matter which way I faced. “The hell?” I asked myself as it was clear there was nobody else here. Why couldn't I remember how I got here, the last thing I remember was falling asleep in the car. And as I grabbed my head a bright light began to shine from behind me and a voice spoke “Hello there.” the voice said before I turned around and saw an old man standing in front of me. “Hi?” I said confused before he sat down in a chair I knew it wasn’t there a moment ago. “Why don’t you take a seat?” He asked as I turned around and saw a chair behind me. I took a seat. “Now I know you must have questions, I’ll do my best to answer them.” I asked the first question that popped into my head. “What happened?” “First are you familiar with what day today is?” The old man asked. “December twenty-first?” I asked confused. The man nodded before asking “And do you know what is so special about today? ” It took me a moment to think, there wasn’t anything that came to mind before the old man sighed and answered the question for me “The end of the Mayan Calendar. Or in other words the end of the world.” I looked at the old man for a good minute trying to piece together what he was saying “Wait so you're saying that the apocalypse happened? I asked. The man looked away while answering “In a way, yes, but in another way, it was just a test for those living there. Would they choose Chaos or would they band together to stop it?” He asked. “So why am I here?” “There are those who didn't go the violent route. For those people, like you, I’m giving a gift, anything they wish for, within reason, I can’t make anyone a god or anything close to that.” The man answered. “And what of those who failed or died?” “They will simply not remember today as it would have all been like a dream long past.” he explained, “They will live their lives not knowing what they have done today, As for those who take my offer they will simply be replaced by a copy to live the lives of those who left.” he said before turning back to me and clapping his hands “Now enough questions you must have a wish.” I thought for a second as visions of power flowed through my head, one of those visions was me a daring warrior protecting a village, another one was of me being a powerful mage dueling another mage, and finally one was of me being a superhero in new york. But as I opened my eyes I came to a decision. “I want a keyblade and magic, as well as to be able to create dark corridors.” I asked The old man smiled and said “Ah adventurous are we, now you might want to brace yourself for this” the old man said as a shock went through my head and I was knocked out. When I woke up and saw that I was slowly falling onto a pillar of glass. Luckily, there's something in here this time. I stood in a huge pillar made of glass that's blue. I was in the Realm of Awakening from Kingdom Hearts 1. “Alright,” I muttered, looked around for any signs of life. As I looked around before a voice spoke to me, it was a different voice than the old man, one that was both familiar and strange to me. ‘So much to do, so little time…’ It said as I looked around. ‘Take your time. Don’t be afraid.’ ‘Now, step forward. Can you do it?’ I took a few steps forward to the center of this circular structure plane, a display stands with a black shield with red rims and red symbol of Mickey mouse head with gold frame lines on the center magically appeared in white sparkles; ‘Power sleeps within you.' I turned right around to see another stand with a green wand with a brown base and on top of it is a blue mickey mouse head appears; ‘If you give it form...’ I turned around again and a third stand popped up with a sword with a blue wrapping handle, yellow arc guard and black mickey mouse head symbol on the base of the guard. ‘It will give you strength. Choose well.’ the voice finished saying as all three stands are now present. I walked towards the sword. ‘The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction.’ Reaching for it while the voice responds to my arm extension. ‘Is this the power you seek?’ Without hesitation I grabbed it. Calmly watch as the sword in my hand vanish.‘Your the path is set.’ the voice said as turned around to view the last two as it continued speaking. 'Now what power will you give up?' I walked towards the wand. ’The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin.' The voice explained as I reached for it, just like before with the sword it asked. ’You give up this power?’ I grabbed the staff and it vanishes as the voice spoke. 'You’ve chosen the power of the warrior. You’ve given up on the power of the mystic. Is this the form you choose?’ It asked and I nod in response. Before I knew it; the stands lean down to one side before sinking, the floor began to shatter underneath me and I began to fall. As I fell I saw a glass stained picture of myself, Slowly descending down and landed on my feet with a tap. Suddenly, the Kingdom Key keyblade appeared in my hand. ’You’ve gained the power to fight.’ the voice said as I took a practice quick swing down as I wasn’t familiar with sword combat. ‘Alright! You’ve got it.’ 'Use this power to protect yourself and others.’ Five Shadow heartless started to appear from the ground up like 2d to 3d ‘There will be times you have to fight. Keep your light burning strong.’ I rushed to smack a few heartless as they tried to get a swipe in but they have delayed opening for a smack from my blade, not giving them a chance. I only took down two before they all sank back down and gone, with only the remains of their kind, small green orbs which flew into me as I got near it and can feel a tingle but since I haven’t taken damage I didn’t really need them. ‘Behind you.’ The voice commented as I turned around to see one Shadow tried to sneak up behind me, ready to attack. However, I smacked it away as hard as I could. my gut instinct has turned around, facing two more or them and had to dodge away from the one on the right but wince and surprised when the other one reacts just a few milliseconds and gave a scratch mark at my rib but luckily no actual mark. I swung at one and by a miracle, it disperses into dark wisps while dropping two small green orbs which flew into me seconds after. Last two heartless decided to leave now that they are not in big numbers. Sinking into the floor as the floor started to turn black from their escape and before I knew it I sank into the darkness. Awaken once more from being trapped in the darkness that soon left my view. Seeing myself laying on the floor. Sitting up only to gain the attention of what’s on the floor. Another glass stained picture of me. When I got up, my eyes lock onto a beam of light pointing towards a door. I walked towards it and just when I reached within better perception to realized it was see-through. “Great can’t open it...” I said. Turning around to see a yellow and red chest which I walked towards and tapped it with the keyblades tip. It opened to find a cylinder, cup size bottle with an odd green jello star. “Oh nice a Potion,” I said, putting it in my left jacket pocket. At that moment, a large crate appeared behind me. I looked at it for a few seconds before my keyblade flash shortly, gave me a hint to smash the crate. Taking this thought to the test, I smashed the crate in an overhead slam, smashing it into wooden shrapnel's and another potion popped out in a small hand size clam chest which I picked up and store it with the other one. As I picked it up the frame of the door became solid. Hming to myself only to get my thought sidetrack when a flash came from behind turn to look, seeing a wooden barrel standing upright just a few feet from the left of the door. Following the logic of this room, I managed to pick it up and throw it at the door which caused the thrown object to shatter and caused the door to fully become solid. Reaching out to the bar handle I opened it and was bathed in light. As the light left, I was in yet another room where there was a glass stained thing with another image of me. Looking around for anything that might lead me forward. I saw another heartless so I pulled out my keyblade as I became surrounded by them. Had to avoid taking hits though that wasn’t easy with around 10 Shadows keeping me moving if I ever stop it’s to either get hit or attack once only to continue this rodeo routine. An hour later, the fight ended and got myself a deep breathing room, I was tired. Stretched my limbs for a bit, a bright circle light up from the center of the room. Guessing what it does I walk inside it and immediately sigh as a feeling of being rejuvenated in and out of my being. And as I stepped on the light moved forward before fading away at the edge and a walkway appeared made out of stain glass of different colors. After a long run which is a relief of regaining stamina before heading forward, I made it to the other side and found a light. From here I decided to walk casually. Stepping into the light a familiar voice spoke. ‘The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes.’ I quickly look behind me to see my shadow grow and raise from the ground and slowly taking a more three-dimensional form. ‘Don’t be afraid.’ I took a few steps back, a mixture of fear and adrenaline rush through me. This large shadow took one step forward as if it senses my fears. ‘and don't forget...’ It didn’t finish as the Darkside reeled its fist, dark sphere engulfs its fist and slammed it into the ground just barely miss me. Taken the opportunity I slashed at its balled up a fist as Shadow heartless came out of the darkness that the fist spawned. After a few hits, the Darkside pulled its hand back and started to launch orbs of darkness from the heart-shaped hole in its chest. I dodged the blasts but wasn’t lucky against the nearby Shadows and got hit by them that were swarming around the Darkside. No choice but to get rid of them, I went and dealt with them in a hit or two before focusing on Darkside as I slashed at its arms on its side. It fell to its knees and hand and began to sink into the ground. I think I may have killed it! I was breathing heavily tired from my fight I fell to one knee and put my keyblade in the ground before I noticed that darkness surrounded me and I began sinking. ‘You hold the mightiest weapon of all.’ was the last thing I heard before waking up MeetingIn the Equestrian Badlands, a person in a black cloak walks out of a dark corridor. “Yo boss; you here?” The figure asked as she took off her hood to reveal her hair was made from snakes. “Ah Medusa, I was wondering when you’d show up. You deal with that Minotaur King?” The woman wearing a dark purple and dark red bodysuit with a full head bike helmet asked. “Yes, The royal guards won’t suspect that the kings' last statue IS their king.” Medusa chuckled. “Bravo.” the masked figure said sarcastically. “I’m surprised you were able to pull off such a hard job all by yourself.” She said in a mocking tone. Medusa was fuming; “HEY!” she screamed as rocks rose from the ground. The figure chuckled. “Now, now, no need to lose your temper... You wouldn’t survive the fight with me.” she said menacingly. As Medusa glared at her, a voice came from behind them. “Would you two children stop fighting.” A cloaked woman with ethereal wings flew down from a nearby cliff, landing and having the wings shrink into her. “Ah Xulna, I was wondering when the fun killer would arrive.” The masked figure asked. “Oh haha,” Xulna said sarcastically. “Where are the others?” She asked in a requesting tone. “The others are still doing their jobs and the Master is off looking for new recruits on other worlds, So he left me to give you your next jobs.” The masked figure said. (In Ponyville) I was confused and my head hurt. “Agh-hmm, my head.” I groan as I steadily sat up and slowly looked around. I saw a Caucasian woman with golden amber eyes that’s looking at me with worry. Her hair is long and has a light green as it’s main color with minty white stripes. She wore a mint green short-sleeved shirt that has a design of a flower facing the viewers; yellow dot with white petals on her chest with a magenta vest with no sleeves that has three rows of frills at the vests flaps wore a light green shorts. On her legs have long weight with five pink stripes going across the top down, though there could be more but couldn’t tell with her dark aquamarine mid-high heels flat shoes. Walking back and forth repeating “OMC.” to herself before she noticed I was staring at her confused. “Umm, hi...” She said nervously. “Where… where am I?” I asked as I tried to get up, but a sudden dizziness took me by surprise. “Whoa whoa whoa whoa!” She said; rushing over to me. “M-maybe take it slow.. We found you in the woods and we-ahh... I don’t know if you're okay.” She explained. “Uggh, we?” I asked; grabbing my head that gave a pulse of a mild pain. “My friend Bon Bon… She went off to get our doctor friend.” The woman explained. “I’m back!” A new voice hollered lightly. The woman turned to see that two women were coming through the door. One had blue and pink hair and the other one had her pink hair in a bun. “That was fast.” The woman with the light green hair commented. The pink-haired woman spoke up. “Well, I was going to see you two anyway. I was just hoping to have some lunchtime with you two but...” She sighed before asking in a more professional tone of caring. “Anyway, I’m guessing that this is the person you found.” She went to sit down on the couch and looked me over for a bit before asking me a few questions. “Do you remember your name? Do you know how you ended up in the forest?” I answered hesitantly with the questions. “M..my name is Huxley.” I answered the name question...it wasn’t my real name, it was my Organization name from a random name generator I found years ago... “I don’t know or remember.” Was what I answered for the majority of her questions. The Doctor looked at the two women, they must have read what she was thinking as they walked away to another room. Leaving me alone in the room and I couldn’t hear what they were saying, either the door and walls muffle out sound or they are talking in a volume I can’t hear. “Well I don’t know what to say, he looks fine. Minus the Possible case of amnesia...” Redheart sighed. “You two should have just taken him to the hospital, I honestly don’t know why you brought him to your house,” she said, perplex by this obvious decision. What were they thinking? Bonbon and Lyra looked at each other. “Well...hmm yeah, Why didn’t we bring him to the hospital Bonbon?” Lyra asked. “I-er... Look I was worried okay, let's just forget this and take him to the hospital.” Bonbon said embarrassed. “If you want, I'll take him there for you.” Redheart said. “You sure?” Lyra asked. “Well you two have already ruined my plans for the afternoon, I might as well make sure that kid is alright.” Nurse said before walking off. CanterlotIn the hospital Redheart was talking to a doctor, while the young man who she brought here sat and waited in the waiting room. “Well Redheart, this is a weird case.” The doctor said before explaining “The blood test have come back, and something is wrong with the test.” “What's wrong with it?” Redheart asked peaking at the results. “Well, for starters, it seems he can do some variation of Elfin magic, which should be impossible due to the fact he is a regular human, it also appears that whatever caused this was powerful enough to make it seem almost natural.” The doctor explained before sighing. “You and I both know I have to report this to the higher-ups.” Redheart honestly didn’t know the young man but she heard rumors of what happened to those whom had similar cases to this. “There must be something you can do, maybe the test is wrong?” she asked. “Look,” He said looking around “take him and leave, get him out of Ponyville, and if anyone asks you were unaware of what really happened. I’ll say that I showed you the wrong patients' info and didn’t notice till after you were gone.” The doctor said. Redheart took a sigh before saying “Thanks.” and left. I sat in a waiting room reading some random magazine when Redheart came in and said, “We need to go.” she was rather impatient when she said that. I got up and followed her out of the hospital but halfway down the road, we stopped as she began to scribble something down on a piece of paper. “Alright, here’s what's going to happen, Huxley, you’re going to get on a train to Canterlot, when you get there you’re going to go to the Middle District, find building 294, ask for either Vinyl Scratch or Octavia Melody and tell them Redheart is calling in a favor before giving this to them,” Redheart said handing me the piece of paper and a bag of coins. “The Note will explain everything.” She explained as I was obviously confused but before I could say anything she left in a hurry. I sighed as I still didn’t really understand what was going on, but I’m going to have to trust the path I was being sent on, for now. Two hours later I was now on a train headed for the capital city of Canterlot, unsure of what to really do, I was hesitant to peak at the note that Redheart gave me considering I had no clue what was going on. I just went with the cards I was dealt. I took a deep breath and decided to peak at the note, but before I could pull it out one of the stewardesses, I think is what they are called, made an announcement “We have arrived in Canterlot.” I sighed and got up, hoping that I would get answers soon. It took me an hour to find the Middle District, and another half hour to find building 294. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. After a few minutes I knocked again and an old man came out. The old man looked bulky and in good shape, he also wore a suit. “I’m sorry but we don’t allow rabble to stay on our property, if you don’t have any business here leave.” the old man said, he had a hard British accent. “I-I’m here to see...umm, Octavia I think their name was? Redheart said that she was cashing in a favor?” I answered. The man took a quick glance at both sides of the street before glaring at me “Come in.” he said as he held the door open and I walked in. Inside the house I took off my sneakers and walked to a dining room where the old man told me to sit. “How do you know Ms. Redheart?” the old man asked as I took a seat. “I..really don’t know her, I was found in the middle of the woods a few hours ago by...someone named Lyra...I think, I didn’t really get the full story myself. I just answered some questions before being taken to the hospital for some tests.” I said still afraid of the man. “I don’t really know who I am, I was told I have amnesia.” The man squinted at me before saying “I can tell when someone is lying to me. And you are lying to me.” he then got up with his fist clenched. “Alright alright, I'm faking the amnesia.” I said panicking “...I’m actually from another world, All I really know is I apparently passed some test by some ‘being’ and I was sent here as a reward, I just lied about the amnesia because I figured if some amnesiac asked about stuff that is common knowledge nobody would ask questions.” I answered. The man looked at me confused before smiling. “See, was that so hard? And before you ask, a few months ago a literal chaos god broke free from his prison in the royal gardens, so you being from another world...isn’t that hard to believe.” He said as his smile disappeared and he gave me a glare asking. “Is there anything else your hiding?” I held out my hand and summoned my keyblade, “This and I can use dark magic to go to other worlds.” I explain before sending my keyblade away. The man looked stunned but before he could say anything the front door opened and a voice came in, “We’re back, Crusher, start the kettle.” a British voice said as two women entered the dining room. “Oh, hello there.” the British sounding woman said, she had black hair and was wearing a gray suit with a pink bow tie, “Crusher who’s this?” “Oh are you Octavia or Vinyl by any chance?” I asked before the old man, whom I guess was called Crusher, could speak. “I am Octavia Melody, and you are?” She asked. “I’m Huxley, I was told to give this to one of you, it is from Redheart...she said she was cashing in that favor.” I explained. Octavia took the note and read it. When she was done she said “So an amnesiac human with the potential to use magic, and just when I didn’t think things could get weirder than that bodysuit wearing person with the shadow blade that helped stop the invasion a few weeks ago.” “Actually madam, the part about him having amnesia was a lie, as he put it, he’s from another world and just faked the amnesia so he wouldn’t be seen as weird.” Crusher explained. “Another world?” She asked before she looked at Crusher. “and you’re sure he isn’t lying.” “Nope, he’s too afraid to lie to me.” He said with a chuckle. “Anything else?” She asked. “Well I can summon this,” I said summoning my keyblade back. “And use dark magic to go to other worlds.” I explained. “Hmm.” Octavia asked before going into thought. “Hey, what's going on?” A blue-haired woman with elf ears asked as she came in. “Nothing much Vinyl.” She said before turning to me. “You have two options, either you stay here for a few days and then leave...” She explained. “Or?” I asked worried. “You become my fiance.” She said with a straight face and a smile. Author's Note Before anyone comments on the ending, there is an explanation of why Octavia asked that question. It's obviously going to be answered in the next chapter... I just wanted to avoid the comments of people calling my character...things they aren't. Also, would people like lore chapters? Just to fill whatever void I can fill? Engaged“You become my fiance.” Octavia said to my confusion. “Huh?” Vinyl asked confused. “Octavia, what are you doing? Who is this?” “Simple, this is Huxley, he was sent here by Redheart so he could be safe.” She paused giving Vinyl the piece of paper. “Here, read this...oh and the part about him having amnesia is wrong as we just learned.” She said taking a glance at me who was still confused. “I’m sorry, but I’m confused too.” I said. “Well I’ll explain this, you have something special about you, you’re a human who can use magic and you can apparently go to other worlds, which I’ll need to see for myself, but that makes you a good choice for getting my father off my back.” She explained. Now I was more confused, who was her father? That's when Crusher chimed in. “She’s the daughter of the Don of Canterlot’s crime family.” “Thank you Crusher, anyway, the reason I’m asking you to become my fiance is that my father wants me to marry someone who can improve the family’s control over their territories, but again it's your choice. You can say no but... I’m moving in a few days to a villa on the northern border of Equestria. So I’ll keep my word to Redheart and keep you for as long as I can, but after that, you’re on your own.” She explained. “There is one problem...I’m only 17.” I explained. “And I'm 19, I can wait a year.” Octavia retorted. I sighed, while the option was there for me to back out, it wasn’t really a good choice. A few days of hiding; then what? I would be on the streets with nowhere to go. “Fine.” I said standing up and walking up to her before grabbing her hand and got down on one knee asking, “Octavia Melody, will you marry me?” Octavia was confused as she asked “Umm, what are you doing?” “Proposing, I’m taking the offer of being your fiance.” I explained as her face went slightly red. “I...I was just expecting a yes or no, I didn’t think you’d purpose... at least not yet.” She stammered, embarrassed before hugging me. “YES!” She said giggling. “Hey what about me?” Vinyl asked. “Oh don’t worry, this is a slightly open marriage.” Octavia said letting me go. “Huh?” I asked obviously confused. “You think that me getting married is going to take me away from the people I love?” She asked before saying. “Don’t worry, you can have others in your life too, just don’t hide them.” She said before her face turned dark, “I don’t like it when people keep secrets from me.” She said in a dark tone. “*Gulp* got it...” I said nervously. Her face then turned back to cheerful as she said. “Great.” ‘What have I gotten myself into?’ I mentally asked myself. The next day, Octavia noticed that I probably didn’t have any other clothing; apart from the ones on my back. So she and Crusher took my measurements before heading out to buy some clothes, leaving me here with Vinyl. “Sooo... What was your world like?” Vinyl asked calmly. I looked down and muttered that I didn’t want to talk about it. “Yeeeah, I'm guessing the wound of ‘whatever’ sent you here is still fresh.” I began to tear up as I muttered. “I never even got to say goodbye to them.” Vinyl looked at me and said as she pressed her glasses up her ridge. “Look, I know what it's like to lose somebody, so don’t feel like you’re the only. I know we’ve only just met but… ‘Well’, technically; your going to be my boss so I might as well tell you.” She paused and took a deep breath, “I was an orphan, lost my parents in some kind of accident, It was only me and my brother, who worked for the Caterlot mafia to support me, he was a basic grunt but he did his best. It's been a few years since he died and it isn’t always easy, but you have to move on.” she said. “So how’d you and Octavia meet?” I asked, trying to get some thoughts out of my head. “Well, that's a funny story. It all started when I was 9. I had come down with a cold, nothing major but I couldn’t be in school. So my brother took me to work, he brought me over so he could tell them he had to be gone for a week to take care of me, the Don was visiting the speakeasy to inspect it and saw me. He was angry as he thought that the head of the ‘joint’ was either hiring children or selling to them. My brother was in a lot of trouble before explaining. I was just here because I couldn’t be left at home alone. The Don told him that he’d look after me and he could focus on his job and that's how I met Octavia. Jump forward a few years and I’m now her bodyguard.” Vinyl explained. At this I was confused, feeling sad. An hour later when the voice of a familiar girl spoke up. “We’re back!” Octavia said as the front door opened with Crusher carrying a bunch of bags. They entered the kitchen and Octavia saw the two of us, she asked. “Um, am I interrupting?” Vinyl wave at the grey women. “Nah, we were just finished talking.” Vinyl said getting up from her chair. “Alright...” Octavia said, unsure of what was going on but snapped back into a cheery mood when she turned to me. “Anyway; I have some clothing for our date tomorrow!” she said. “Date?” I asked confused. “To another world, you did say you could take people to other worlds.” She said. “Oh right, sorry it's just I'm still getting used to these things.” I explained. “Well, I trust you’ll be able to do it.” She said in a happy tone, before giving me a look of ‘Or else’ “Oh and I’ll show you to ‘Our’ room.” She said; going back to a happy tone. “Our?” I asked confused. Author's Note Sorry this took so long, I had a lot of things happen to me between when I put this up for editing and posting it. I also might have other non-mlp projects to work on. so the next chapter might take a while An updateOkay because I'm a fickle bitch I might attempt at continuing this story after all. Just as a treat for you. Here is some art I got for this story...its why I'm saying give it another try The Figure from the wedding (You can theorize why she looks like that...or got to the DA page and get spoiled.) Xulna (Luna's nobody) F.A.Q before reading What is the Mayan Test? To put it in simple terms it is a test for Humanity at the end of the world. The test is to see who would remain peaceful at the end of the world. You fail nothing happens you wake up in your bed as if the end of the world never happened. You pass you are given the option to either go home and forget this ever happened or you can go somewhere with powers. Honestly the story that it originates from does a better job explaining it then I could Why not just call it a displaced story? To be honest, I've been trying to get one of these stories off the ground since I first came to this site back in 2012, the Mayan test stories have been a troubling thing, they've only gained notoriety when me and a bunch of jerks all decided to do Kingdom hearts stories where they all decided to go to the level of galaxy destroyers by chapter 5 then call me the jerk for saying that they were going to fast in terms of power. (it's a basic version of what basically happened, and before you ask yes I'm a little salty about that.)... but to get back on the displaced question Mayan test came first. Why do another kingdom Hearts story if you have bad blood with those other people? I'm stubborn, to say the least. Is the main character the only one to pass the test? No, it's honestly an easy test to pass, you just have to be at the right place at the right time. so my theory is that almost 1/3 of the Humans on earth passed the test. Not that I'm going to feature them the story centers around my main character. Well there be crossovers? Maybe? That's the best answer I can give, to be honest. I attempted crossovers with one of my previous Mayan test stories and that ended in disaster... So yeah, not anytime soon. And if there are they'll only be with Mayan test stories. more questions to be added when they arrive...
AwakeningAuthor's Note And just as a final reminder: This is not a Displaced story so any comments about Tokens or Crossovers will be deleted and repeated offenders will be blocked. Since enough people were confused by the previous version of the story "link here" I'll say this here. The ponies are humans so No Anthro Tag is needed. Though not all races are humans and I'll provide a full race chart if asked. Awakening In the city of Canterlot, it is a great day, the royal wedding of Captain Shining Armor and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, or as she was also known as Cadence, and apart from a hiccup that had been dealt with; the ceremony was going perfectly. As Princess Celestia was in the middle of saying how great the love between Cadence and Captain armor was, the door to the room was blown wide open. And down the aisle walked a figure dressed in dark purple and dark red armor with a helmet covering their face, their laughter broke the shocked silence. “Who are you?” Celestia demanded. “Me?” The figure smirked, though it was unnoticed due to their helmets “I’m just here to make sure that this day really goes off without a hitch, which means I gotta delay the wedding till the real bride makes it here.” Celestia was confused; ‘Real bride?’ what did this person mean. She took a glance at Cadence before turning back to the figure before taking a step forward. “If you wish to confuse me then you better come up with some better lies.” She said as a rapier appeared in her hand. The figure laughed before saying “Please if I was looking for a fight with you I wouldn’t lie.” The figure paused; “I’d just rush you head-on.” summoning a strange blade, it was a black giant key. But before the figure could do anything a small bat-like creature showed up behind ‘her’, whispering to her. “Hmm; well; good. I was getting bored talking anyway. Looks like the proof is here.” and just as she said that Twilight Sparkle ran into the room with another Cadence who looked to have a ‘messy brawl’ appearance. “Wait, two Cadence’s?” Pinkie asked confused. “No, she’s a changeling. She takes the form of someone you love and gains power by feeding off your love for them.” The Cadence said. “Yep, and if you weren’t stupid you’d also have noticed that she was weakening the barrier with those spells she kept casting on the ‘good’ Captain.” The figure said rudely. The changeling burst into a pillar of green flames and seconds later revealed her true form. Obsidian black women that looked to have elf ears and insect-like wings with wing shells. “I don’t know who you are but you won’t ruin my plans.” The Changeling claimed. “No,” Celestia said getting the changeling attention. “You won’t. You may have made it impossible for Shining Armor to perform his spell. But now that you have so foolishly revealed your true self, I can protect my subjects from you!” Celestia said as she launched a beam of magical energy from her rapier towards the Changeling to which the changeling responded by firing their own magical energy, causing the two to clash. Just as the changeling was winning; the rocks started flying from a tear in reality causing the changeling to lose concentration long enough for Celestia to win the struggle and causing the Changeling to be knocked to the ground. Celestia turned to the figure who was holding it’s blade in the air. The changeling, realizing that this was a losing battle, teleported away in green flames. The figure then turned away and opened a shadowy portal. “Well my job is done. Oh; just as a warning for next time, we may not be on the same side.” Before it walked through the shadows; the figure looked at Twilight and spoke one last time. “Twilight Sparkle, you’re not who you think you are.” Leaving the whole room confused as the figure disappeared along with the portal. A few weeks have passed since that event and everything has returned to normal apart from Twilight, who kept thinking of what the figure said. “What did they mean ‘I’m not who I think I am’?” She asked herself while also wondering why they felt familiar. Watching her looking out of thought for who knows how many times, Spike sighed. “Twilight, you’ve looked through everything and you haven’t found anything, they were clearly just saying nonsense.” “But why? Why me specifically?” Twilight asked before placing her head on her desk before the bell on the front door rang and she got up from her desk to head downstairs. As she reached the bottom of the stairs she saw her friends standing there. “What are you guys doing here?” Twilight asked. Pinkie was the first to speak “You called us here remember silly?” Twilight grabbed her head remembering that she did ask Spike to get them here. “Right...Sorry, I’ve been busy.” She said; scratching the back of her head. “What did I ask you here for again?” She asked. The five looked confused as Rainbow Dash asked; “You sure you’re okay, Twilight?” before explaining. “You called us here because Celestia sent a message.” And it was at that moment that Twilight snapped back to reality. “What! How could I forget about that!” She asked herself while having a mini nervous breakdown. “Well at least she’s back to normal.” Spike said. Pinkie asked. “So~... What did the Princess need us for?” Twilight couldn’t answer as she was in mid breakdown so Spike answered. “There was a magical disturbance in the whitetail woods and the Princess wanted you to be on the lookout, she doesn’t know if its Changelings or whoever that strange person that showed up at the wedding was.” A few days ago in the White Tail Woods, Lyra and Bon Bon were going for their weekly jog. As they got to the halfway point of the trail they heard something in the bushes. “Wait here.” Bonbon said as she slowly went to investigate. What she found was a person lying on the ground unconscious. “Lyra, come here, I need your help.” “What is it Bon Bon?” Lyra asked before seeing the unconscious person on the ground. He was a male up to 6.2 tall. Short brown hair, bright peach skin and dark blue eyes. Plain green shirt that has black mostly cover the chest, left cuff just below the elbow line and back. Black sweatpants for his lower parts and just below are white socks and black track sneakers. “Help me pick him up.” Bon Bon asked attempting to lift the person up on her own. Lyra was nervous as she walks up to the other side of the stranger. “Ar-are you sure it's not one of those changeling things?” “He’s unconscious, I’m pretty sure changeling’s magic works like Elfin magic. They can’t use magic when knocked out.” Bon Bon explained. “Fine. But if we get turned into mindless slaves ‘I’m’ using whatever brainpower I have left to spite you.” Lyra joked. An hour later the two managed to take the unconscious person to their home and placed him on their couch. “Alright, keep an eye on him. I’m going to see if Nurse Redheart can see if she can help us.” Bon Bon said and went as fast as she could to get said person. “But isn’t today her day off?” Lyra asked the already gone Bon Bon, she sighed. “I hate it when she does that.” “Agh-hmm, my head.” A voice said from the couch as Lyra realized the person was waking up. “Ah, crap baskets.” Lyra said.
OriginIt was chaos, pure and simple, the city of Ottawa was burning while the city was surrounded by rioters, police failing to keep the peace and Military trying to protect what they could. Luckily, my family and I were far from any towns and on the Quebec side of the river so we were spared the majority of the carnage. But as the day turned to night we heard over the radio that there was a safe place a few towns away, in the mountains. My parents loaded the family car, my older sister made sure we didn’t forget anything while I kept an eye on the radio to make sure that anything didn’t happen that would screw with our plans of getting to safety. My mom made a quick check that everyone was here before starting the car and driving off. Hours passed as the drive as I began to fall asleep as It was late at night and I had nothing really to do by looking outside. I awoke in confusion and with blurred vision. I could only see white no matter which way I faced. “The hell?” I asked myself as it was clear there was nobody else here. Why couldn't I remember how I got here, the last thing I remember was falling asleep in the car. And as I grabbed my head a bright light began to shine from behind me and a voice spoke “Hello there.” the voice said before I turned around and saw an old man standing in front of me. “Hi?” I said confused before he sat down in a chair I knew it wasn’t there a moment ago. “Why don’t you take a seat?” He asked as I turned around and saw a chair behind me. I took a seat. “Now I know you must have questions, I’ll do my best to answer them.” I asked the first question that popped into my head. “What happened?” “First are you familiar with what day today is?” The old man asked. “December twenty-first?” I asked confused. The man nodded before asking “And do you know what is so special about today? ” It took me a moment to think, there wasn’t anything that came to mind before the old man sighed and answered the question for me “The end of the Mayan Calendar. Or in other words the end of the world.” I looked at the old man for a good minute trying to piece together what he was saying “Wait so you're saying that the apocalypse happened? I asked. The man looked away while answering “In a way, yes, but in another way, it was just a test for those living there. Would they choose Chaos or would they band together to stop it?” He asked. “So why am I here?” “There are those who didn't go the violent route. For those people, like you, I’m giving a gift, anything they wish for, within reason, I can’t make anyone a god or anything close to that.” The man answered. “And what of those who failed or died?” “They will simply not remember today as it would have all been like a dream long past.” he explained, “They will live their lives not knowing what they have done today, As for those who take my offer they will simply be replaced by a copy to live the lives of those who left.” he said before turning back to me and clapping his hands “Now enough questions you must have a wish.” I thought for a second as visions of power flowed through my head, one of those visions was me a daring warrior protecting a village, another one was of me being a powerful mage dueling another mage, and finally one was of me being a superhero in new york. But as I opened my eyes I came to a decision. “I want a keyblade and magic, as well as to be able to create dark corridors.” I asked The old man smiled and said “Ah adventurous are we, now you might want to brace yourself for this” the old man said as a shock went through my head and I was knocked out. When I woke up and saw that I was slowly falling onto a pillar of glass. Luckily, there's something in here this time. I stood in a huge pillar made of glass that's blue. I was in the Realm of Awakening from Kingdom Hearts 1. “Alright,” I muttered, looked around for any signs of life. As I looked around before a voice spoke to me, it was a different voice than the old man, one that was both familiar and strange to me. ‘So much to do, so little time…’ It said as I looked around. ‘Take your time. Don’t be afraid.’ ‘Now, step forward. Can you do it?’ I took a few steps forward to the center of this circular structure plane, a display stands with a black shield with red rims and red symbol of Mickey mouse head with gold frame lines on the center magically appeared in white sparkles; ‘Power sleeps within you.' I turned right around to see another stand with a green wand with a brown base and on top of it is a blue mickey mouse head appears; ‘If you give it form...’ I turned around again and a third stand popped up with a sword with a blue wrapping handle, yellow arc guard and black mickey mouse head symbol on the base of the guard. ‘It will give you strength. Choose well.’ the voice finished saying as all three stands are now present. I walked towards the sword. ‘The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction.’ Reaching for it while the voice responds to my arm extension. ‘Is this the power you seek?’ Without hesitation I grabbed it. Calmly watch as the sword in my hand vanish.‘Your the path is set.’ the voice said as turned around to view the last two as it continued speaking. 'Now what power will you give up?' I walked towards the wand. ’The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin.' The voice explained as I reached for it, just like before with the sword it asked. ’You give up this power?’ I grabbed the staff and it vanishes as the voice spoke. 'You’ve chosen the power of the warrior. You’ve given up on the power of the mystic. Is this the form you choose?’ It asked and I nod in response. Before I knew it; the stands lean down to one side before sinking, the floor began to shatter underneath me and I began to fall. As I fell I saw a glass stained picture of myself, Slowly descending down and landed on my feet with a tap. Suddenly, the Kingdom Key keyblade appeared in my hand. ’You’ve gained the power to fight.’ the voice said as I took a practice quick swing down as I wasn’t familiar with sword combat. ‘Alright! You’ve got it.’ 'Use this power to protect yourself and others.’ Five Shadow heartless started to appear from the ground up like 2d to 3d ‘There will be times you have to fight. Keep your light burning strong.’ I rushed to smack a few heartless as they tried to get a swipe in but they have delayed opening for a smack from my blade, not giving them a chance. I only took down two before they all sank back down and gone, with only the remains of their kind, small green orbs which flew into me as I got near it and can feel a tingle but since I haven’t taken damage I didn’t really need them. ‘Behind you.’ The voice commented as I turned around to see one Shadow tried to sneak up behind me, ready to attack. However, I smacked it away as hard as I could. my gut instinct has turned around, facing two more or them and had to dodge away from the one on the right but wince and surprised when the other one reacts just a few milliseconds and gave a scratch mark at my rib but luckily no actual mark. I swung at one and by a miracle, it disperses into dark wisps while dropping two small green orbs which flew into me seconds after. Last two heartless decided to leave now that they are not in big numbers. Sinking into the floor as the floor started to turn black from their escape and before I knew it I sank into the darkness. Awaken once more from being trapped in the darkness that soon left my view. Seeing myself laying on the floor. Sitting up only to gain the attention of what’s on the floor. Another glass stained picture of me. When I got up, my eyes lock onto a beam of light pointing towards a door. I walked towards it and just when I reached within better perception to realized it was see-through. “Great can’t open it...” I said. Turning around to see a yellow and red chest which I walked towards and tapped it with the keyblades tip. It opened to find a cylinder, cup size bottle with an odd green jello star. “Oh nice a Potion,” I said, putting it in my left jacket pocket. At that moment, a large crate appeared behind me. I looked at it for a few seconds before my keyblade flash shortly, gave me a hint to smash the crate. Taking this thought to the test, I smashed the crate in an overhead slam, smashing it into wooden shrapnel's and another potion popped out in a small hand size clam chest which I picked up and store it with the other one. As I picked it up the frame of the door became solid. Hming to myself only to get my thought sidetrack when a flash came from behind turn to look, seeing a wooden barrel standing upright just a few feet from the left of the door. Following the logic of this room, I managed to pick it up and throw it at the door which caused the thrown object to shatter and caused the door to fully become solid. Reaching out to the bar handle I opened it and was bathed in light. As the light left, I was in yet another room where there was a glass stained thing with another image of me. Looking around for anything that might lead me forward. I saw another heartless so I pulled out my keyblade as I became surrounded by them. Had to avoid taking hits though that wasn’t easy with around 10 Shadows keeping me moving if I ever stop it’s to either get hit or attack once only to continue this rodeo routine. An hour later, the fight ended and got myself a deep breathing room, I was tired. Stretched my limbs for a bit, a bright circle light up from the center of the room. Guessing what it does I walk inside it and immediately sigh as a feeling of being rejuvenated in and out of my being. And as I stepped on the light moved forward before fading away at the edge and a walkway appeared made out of stain glass of different colors. After a long run which is a relief of regaining stamina before heading forward, I made it to the other side and found a light. From here I decided to walk casually. Stepping into the light a familiar voice spoke. ‘The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes.’ I quickly look behind me to see my shadow grow and raise from the ground and slowly taking a more three-dimensional form. ‘Don’t be afraid.’ I took a few steps back, a mixture of fear and adrenaline rush through me. This large shadow took one step forward as if it senses my fears. ‘and don't forget...’ It didn’t finish as the Darkside reeled its fist, dark sphere engulfs its fist and slammed it into the ground just barely miss me. Taken the opportunity I slashed at its balled up a fist as Shadow heartless came out of the darkness that the fist spawned. After a few hits, the Darkside pulled its hand back and started to launch orbs of darkness from the heart-shaped hole in its chest. I dodged the blasts but wasn’t lucky against the nearby Shadows and got hit by them that were swarming around the Darkside. No choice but to get rid of them, I went and dealt with them in a hit or two before focusing on Darkside as I slashed at its arms on its side. It fell to its knees and hand and began to sink into the ground. I think I may have killed it! I was breathing heavily tired from my fight I fell to one knee and put my keyblade in the ground before I noticed that darkness surrounded me and I began sinking. ‘You hold the mightiest weapon of all.’ was the last thing I heard before waking up
MeetingIn the Equestrian Badlands, a person in a black cloak walks out of a dark corridor. “Yo boss; you here?” The figure asked as she took off her hood to reveal her hair was made from snakes. “Ah Medusa, I was wondering when you’d show up. You deal with that Minotaur King?” The woman wearing a dark purple and dark red bodysuit with a full head bike helmet asked. “Yes, The royal guards won’t suspect that the kings' last statue IS their king.” Medusa chuckled. “Bravo.” the masked figure said sarcastically. “I’m surprised you were able to pull off such a hard job all by yourself.” She said in a mocking tone. Medusa was fuming; “HEY!” she screamed as rocks rose from the ground. The figure chuckled. “Now, now, no need to lose your temper... You wouldn’t survive the fight with me.” she said menacingly. As Medusa glared at her, a voice came from behind them. “Would you two children stop fighting.” A cloaked woman with ethereal wings flew down from a nearby cliff, landing and having the wings shrink into her. “Ah Xulna, I was wondering when the fun killer would arrive.” The masked figure asked. “Oh haha,” Xulna said sarcastically. “Where are the others?” She asked in a requesting tone. “The others are still doing their jobs and the Master is off looking for new recruits on other worlds, So he left me to give you your next jobs.” The masked figure said. (In Ponyville) I was confused and my head hurt. “Agh-hmm, my head.” I groan as I steadily sat up and slowly looked around. I saw a Caucasian woman with golden amber eyes that’s looking at me with worry. Her hair is long and has a light green as it’s main color with minty white stripes. She wore a mint green short-sleeved shirt that has a design of a flower facing the viewers; yellow dot with white petals on her chest with a magenta vest with no sleeves that has three rows of frills at the vests flaps wore a light green shorts. On her legs have long weight with five pink stripes going across the top down, though there could be more but couldn’t tell with her dark aquamarine mid-high heels flat shoes. Walking back and forth repeating “OMC.” to herself before she noticed I was staring at her confused. “Umm, hi...” She said nervously. “Where… where am I?” I asked as I tried to get up, but a sudden dizziness took me by surprise. “Whoa whoa whoa whoa!” She said; rushing over to me. “M-maybe take it slow.. We found you in the woods and we-ahh... I don’t know if you're okay.” She explained. “Uggh, we?” I asked; grabbing my head that gave a pulse of a mild pain. “My friend Bon Bon… She went off to get our doctor friend.” The woman explained. “I’m back!” A new voice hollered lightly. The woman turned to see that two women were coming through the door. One had blue and pink hair and the other one had her pink hair in a bun. “That was fast.” The woman with the light green hair commented. The pink-haired woman spoke up. “Well, I was going to see you two anyway. I was just hoping to have some lunchtime with you two but...” She sighed before asking in a more professional tone of caring. “Anyway, I’m guessing that this is the person you found.” She went to sit down on the couch and looked me over for a bit before asking me a few questions. “Do you remember your name? Do you know how you ended up in the forest?” I answered hesitantly with the questions. “M..my name is Huxley.” I answered the name question...it wasn’t my real name, it was my Organization name from a random name generator I found years ago... “I don’t know or remember.” Was what I answered for the majority of her questions. The Doctor looked at the two women, they must have read what she was thinking as they walked away to another room. Leaving me alone in the room and I couldn’t hear what they were saying, either the door and walls muffle out sound or they are talking in a volume I can’t hear. “Well I don’t know what to say, he looks fine. Minus the Possible case of amnesia...” Redheart sighed. “You two should have just taken him to the hospital, I honestly don’t know why you brought him to your house,” she said, perplex by this obvious decision. What were they thinking? Bonbon and Lyra looked at each other. “Well...hmm yeah, Why didn’t we bring him to the hospital Bonbon?” Lyra asked. “I-er... Look I was worried okay, let's just forget this and take him to the hospital.” Bonbon said embarrassed. “If you want, I'll take him there for you.” Redheart said. “You sure?” Lyra asked. “Well you two have already ruined my plans for the afternoon, I might as well make sure that kid is alright.” Nurse said before walking off.
CanterlotIn the hospital Redheart was talking to a doctor, while the young man who she brought here sat and waited in the waiting room. “Well Redheart, this is a weird case.” The doctor said before explaining “The blood test have come back, and something is wrong with the test.” “What's wrong with it?” Redheart asked peaking at the results. “Well, for starters, it seems he can do some variation of Elfin magic, which should be impossible due to the fact he is a regular human, it also appears that whatever caused this was powerful enough to make it seem almost natural.” The doctor explained before sighing. “You and I both know I have to report this to the higher-ups.” Redheart honestly didn’t know the young man but she heard rumors of what happened to those whom had similar cases to this. “There must be something you can do, maybe the test is wrong?” she asked. “Look,” He said looking around “take him and leave, get him out of Ponyville, and if anyone asks you were unaware of what really happened. I’ll say that I showed you the wrong patients' info and didn’t notice till after you were gone.” The doctor said. Redheart took a sigh before saying “Thanks.” and left. I sat in a waiting room reading some random magazine when Redheart came in and said, “We need to go.” she was rather impatient when she said that. I got up and followed her out of the hospital but halfway down the road, we stopped as she began to scribble something down on a piece of paper. “Alright, here’s what's going to happen, Huxley, you’re going to get on a train to Canterlot, when you get there you’re going to go to the Middle District, find building 294, ask for either Vinyl Scratch or Octavia Melody and tell them Redheart is calling in a favor before giving this to them,” Redheart said handing me the piece of paper and a bag of coins. “The Note will explain everything.” She explained as I was obviously confused but before I could say anything she left in a hurry. I sighed as I still didn’t really understand what was going on, but I’m going to have to trust the path I was being sent on, for now. Two hours later I was now on a train headed for the capital city of Canterlot, unsure of what to really do, I was hesitant to peak at the note that Redheart gave me considering I had no clue what was going on. I just went with the cards I was dealt. I took a deep breath and decided to peak at the note, but before I could pull it out one of the stewardesses, I think is what they are called, made an announcement “We have arrived in Canterlot.” I sighed and got up, hoping that I would get answers soon. It took me an hour to find the Middle District, and another half hour to find building 294. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. After a few minutes I knocked again and an old man came out. The old man looked bulky and in good shape, he also wore a suit. “I’m sorry but we don’t allow rabble to stay on our property, if you don’t have any business here leave.” the old man said, he had a hard British accent. “I-I’m here to see...umm, Octavia I think their name was? Redheart said that she was cashing in a favor?” I answered. The man took a quick glance at both sides of the street before glaring at me “Come in.” he said as he held the door open and I walked in. Inside the house I took off my sneakers and walked to a dining room where the old man told me to sit. “How do you know Ms. Redheart?” the old man asked as I took a seat. “I..really don’t know her, I was found in the middle of the woods a few hours ago by...someone named Lyra...I think, I didn’t really get the full story myself. I just answered some questions before being taken to the hospital for some tests.” I said still afraid of the man. “I don’t really know who I am, I was told I have amnesia.” The man squinted at me before saying “I can tell when someone is lying to me. And you are lying to me.” he then got up with his fist clenched. “Alright alright, I'm faking the amnesia.” I said panicking “...I’m actually from another world, All I really know is I apparently passed some test by some ‘being’ and I was sent here as a reward, I just lied about the amnesia because I figured if some amnesiac asked about stuff that is common knowledge nobody would ask questions.” I answered. The man looked at me confused before smiling. “See, was that so hard? And before you ask, a few months ago a literal chaos god broke free from his prison in the royal gardens, so you being from another world...isn’t that hard to believe.” He said as his smile disappeared and he gave me a glare asking. “Is there anything else your hiding?” I held out my hand and summoned my keyblade, “This and I can use dark magic to go to other worlds.” I explain before sending my keyblade away. The man looked stunned but before he could say anything the front door opened and a voice came in, “We’re back, Crusher, start the kettle.” a British voice said as two women entered the dining room. “Oh, hello there.” the British sounding woman said, she had black hair and was wearing a gray suit with a pink bow tie, “Crusher who’s this?” “Oh are you Octavia or Vinyl by any chance?” I asked before the old man, whom I guess was called Crusher, could speak. “I am Octavia Melody, and you are?” She asked. “I’m Huxley, I was told to give this to one of you, it is from Redheart...she said she was cashing in that favor.” I explained. Octavia took the note and read it. When she was done she said “So an amnesiac human with the potential to use magic, and just when I didn’t think things could get weirder than that bodysuit wearing person with the shadow blade that helped stop the invasion a few weeks ago.” “Actually madam, the part about him having amnesia was a lie, as he put it, he’s from another world and just faked the amnesia so he wouldn’t be seen as weird.” Crusher explained. “Another world?” She asked before she looked at Crusher. “and you’re sure he isn’t lying.” “Nope, he’s too afraid to lie to me.” He said with a chuckle. “Anything else?” She asked. “Well I can summon this,” I said summoning my keyblade back. “And use dark magic to go to other worlds.” I explained. “Hmm.” Octavia asked before going into thought. “Hey, what's going on?” A blue-haired woman with elf ears asked as she came in. “Nothing much Vinyl.” She said before turning to me. “You have two options, either you stay here for a few days and then leave...” She explained. “Or?” I asked worried. “You become my fiance.” She said with a straight face and a smile. Author's Note Before anyone comments on the ending, there is an explanation of why Octavia asked that question. It's obviously going to be answered in the next chapter... I just wanted to avoid the comments of people calling my character...things they aren't. Also, would people like lore chapters? Just to fill whatever void I can fill?
Engaged“You become my fiance.” Octavia said to my confusion. “Huh?” Vinyl asked confused. “Octavia, what are you doing? Who is this?” “Simple, this is Huxley, he was sent here by Redheart so he could be safe.” She paused giving Vinyl the piece of paper. “Here, read this...oh and the part about him having amnesia is wrong as we just learned.” She said taking a glance at me who was still confused. “I’m sorry, but I’m confused too.” I said. “Well I’ll explain this, you have something special about you, you’re a human who can use magic and you can apparently go to other worlds, which I’ll need to see for myself, but that makes you a good choice for getting my father off my back.” She explained. Now I was more confused, who was her father? That's when Crusher chimed in. “She’s the daughter of the Don of Canterlot’s crime family.” “Thank you Crusher, anyway, the reason I’m asking you to become my fiance is that my father wants me to marry someone who can improve the family’s control over their territories, but again it's your choice. You can say no but... I’m moving in a few days to a villa on the northern border of Equestria. So I’ll keep my word to Redheart and keep you for as long as I can, but after that, you’re on your own.” She explained. “There is one problem...I’m only 17.” I explained. “And I'm 19, I can wait a year.” Octavia retorted. I sighed, while the option was there for me to back out, it wasn’t really a good choice. A few days of hiding; then what? I would be on the streets with nowhere to go. “Fine.” I said standing up and walking up to her before grabbing her hand and got down on one knee asking, “Octavia Melody, will you marry me?” Octavia was confused as she asked “Umm, what are you doing?” “Proposing, I’m taking the offer of being your fiance.” I explained as her face went slightly red. “I...I was just expecting a yes or no, I didn’t think you’d purpose... at least not yet.” She stammered, embarrassed before hugging me. “YES!” She said giggling. “Hey what about me?” Vinyl asked. “Oh don’t worry, this is a slightly open marriage.” Octavia said letting me go. “Huh?” I asked obviously confused. “You think that me getting married is going to take me away from the people I love?” She asked before saying. “Don’t worry, you can have others in your life too, just don’t hide them.” She said before her face turned dark, “I don’t like it when people keep secrets from me.” She said in a dark tone. “*Gulp* got it...” I said nervously. Her face then turned back to cheerful as she said. “Great.” ‘What have I gotten myself into?’ I mentally asked myself. The next day, Octavia noticed that I probably didn’t have any other clothing; apart from the ones on my back. So she and Crusher took my measurements before heading out to buy some clothes, leaving me here with Vinyl. “Sooo... What was your world like?” Vinyl asked calmly. I looked down and muttered that I didn’t want to talk about it. “Yeeeah, I'm guessing the wound of ‘whatever’ sent you here is still fresh.” I began to tear up as I muttered. “I never even got to say goodbye to them.” Vinyl looked at me and said as she pressed her glasses up her ridge. “Look, I know what it's like to lose somebody, so don’t feel like you’re the only. I know we’ve only just met but… ‘Well’, technically; your going to be my boss so I might as well tell you.” She paused and took a deep breath, “I was an orphan, lost my parents in some kind of accident, It was only me and my brother, who worked for the Caterlot mafia to support me, he was a basic grunt but he did his best. It's been a few years since he died and it isn’t always easy, but you have to move on.” she said. “So how’d you and Octavia meet?” I asked, trying to get some thoughts out of my head. “Well, that's a funny story. It all started when I was 9. I had come down with a cold, nothing major but I couldn’t be in school. So my brother took me to work, he brought me over so he could tell them he had to be gone for a week to take care of me, the Don was visiting the speakeasy to inspect it and saw me. He was angry as he thought that the head of the ‘joint’ was either hiring children or selling to them. My brother was in a lot of trouble before explaining. I was just here because I couldn’t be left at home alone. The Don told him that he’d look after me and he could focus on his job and that's how I met Octavia. Jump forward a few years and I’m now her bodyguard.” Vinyl explained. At this I was confused, feeling sad. An hour later when the voice of a familiar girl spoke up. “We’re back!” Octavia said as the front door opened with Crusher carrying a bunch of bags. They entered the kitchen and Octavia saw the two of us, she asked. “Um, am I interrupting?” Vinyl wave at the grey women. “Nah, we were just finished talking.” Vinyl said getting up from her chair. “Alright...” Octavia said, unsure of what was going on but snapped back into a cheery mood when she turned to me. “Anyway; I have some clothing for our date tomorrow!” she said. “Date?” I asked confused. “To another world, you did say you could take people to other worlds.” She said. “Oh right, sorry it's just I'm still getting used to these things.” I explained. “Well, I trust you’ll be able to do it.” She said in a happy tone, before giving me a look of ‘Or else’ “Oh and I’ll show you to ‘Our’ room.” She said; going back to a happy tone. “Our?” I asked confused. Author's Note Sorry this took so long, I had a lot of things happen to me between when I put this up for editing and posting it. I also might have other non-mlp projects to work on. so the next chapter might take a while
An updateOkay because I'm a fickle bitch I might attempt at continuing this story after all. Just as a treat for you. Here is some art I got for this story...its why I'm saying give it another try The Figure from the wedding (You can theorize why she looks like that...or got to the DA page and get spoiled.) Xulna (Luna's nobody)
F.A.Q before reading What is the Mayan Test? To put it in simple terms it is a test for Humanity at the end of the world. The test is to see who would remain peaceful at the end of the world. You fail nothing happens you wake up in your bed as if the end of the world never happened. You pass you are given the option to either go home and forget this ever happened or you can go somewhere with powers. Honestly the story that it originates from does a better job explaining it then I could Why not just call it a displaced story? To be honest, I've been trying to get one of these stories off the ground since I first came to this site back in 2012, the Mayan test stories have been a troubling thing, they've only gained notoriety when me and a bunch of jerks all decided to do Kingdom hearts stories where they all decided to go to the level of galaxy destroyers by chapter 5 then call me the jerk for saying that they were going to fast in terms of power. (it's a basic version of what basically happened, and before you ask yes I'm a little salty about that.)... but to get back on the displaced question Mayan test came first. Why do another kingdom Hearts story if you have bad blood with those other people? I'm stubborn, to say the least. Is the main character the only one to pass the test? No, it's honestly an easy test to pass, you just have to be at the right place at the right time. so my theory is that almost 1/3 of the Humans on earth passed the test. Not that I'm going to feature them the story centers around my main character. Well there be crossovers? Maybe? That's the best answer I can give, to be honest. I attempted crossovers with one of my previous Mayan test stories and that ended in disaster... So yeah, not anytime soon. And if there are they'll only be with Mayan test stories. more questions to be added when they arrive...
