Unknown Location

Makael P.O.V.

All I could see was white. 'What the hell happened? I haven't had a hangover like this since, well, ever,' I thought. As I tried to regain my bearings, the world came into focus. I found myself in the middle of a small clearing of trees and as I looked through the branches, I couldn't see any visible end to the forest I now find myself in.

I began to panic and search around frantically for any indication of where I could be, and how I came to be here, but found none.

I tried to think back to what I could remember last. I went to that horror con with my girlfriend, I went looking for my girlfriend after we got split up, my cellphone died unexpectedly, I stopped looking for her and decided to explore some more, then I came across the Splendorman.

I put two and two together easily. 'From that bastard's use of the past tense and the eerie atmosphere in his store, I'm pretty sure he was the asshole who kidnapped me and brought me here,' I thought, 'probably knocked me out as well. Creepy bastard.'

Then realisation dawned on me and I was immediately overcome by fear. 'Wait… he was dressed as the Splendorman and it looked far too realistic. It looked like the costume was a part of him. In fact, it looked like he was the costume. That and the almost frightening aura surrounding both him and his store… Could that have been the actual Splendorman and he's not the happy cheerful creature the wiki said he was?!' I thought fearfully.

Fearing the worst, I immediately got up and spun around looking for the tall figure that I was sure would be staring me down in the distance. Fortunately, I found no one. I sighed in relief, but that relief was short felt as I saw a piece of paper on the floor. An envelope.

Thoughts of 'Slender: the eight pages' flooded my mind as I stared down dreadfully at the envelope. Slowly, I picked it up and took the folded piece of paper out of the envelope. Relief one again flooded me as I realised it wasn't one of the eight pages. It was a letter.

It read:

Dear Makael, the newly crowned White King,

You probably remember me from the store back at the con, and no, to answer your question, I'm not the real Splendorman. He's In Equestria #186. Or, was. Got killed by Chrysalis. Trust me, you wouldn't like #186's Chrissy.

Anyways, You are now In the land of friendship and magic, Equestria! Yay, Friendship! You are now what is known as a displaced, or a dimensionally misplaced. An individual which has been ripped from their lives on earth and shoved into an Equestria.

Now, so many people ask me why I displace others, but none ever get their answer, so here's why I displace people:

For the funny.

Now you can tell any other displaced you meet the reason why I do what I do. Oh did I mention, you are merely one of the many displaced out there. And I am one of the many displacers out there.

Other displaced you may meet come in all shapes and sizes, and colours and genders and species and cartoon characters and movie characters and creepypastas and OC's and some are even displaced as one of the ponies themselves. Not my cup o' tea though.

Alright, now for the serious stuff. A typical displaced story goes like this:

Human goes to a convention dressed as the character of their choosing; e.g. someone going to an anime convention dressed as Naruto, human meets a displacer and the displacer uses their unlimited cosmic power to send them to a different world. Whether that be another Equestria or another Earth or a Star Wars galaxy or an alternate marvel universe. The displaced usually refer to the displacer as the merchant, seeing as they usually buy something from the displacer.

I have so graciously displaced you as, you guessed it, the Slenderman!

Now since a lot of the Slender Man's abilities are largely headcannon, I've decided to give you these abilities to back you up:

1. Teleportation! Self explanatory. This ability is only limited by what you've seen. Teleportations into physical objects will just fail to work. Don't worry, you won't get stuck in other objects.

2. Telepathy! You can speak to others directly through their minds. You can induce memory loss while also minorly altering existing memories. You can also cause others to exhibit a great deal of paranoia, which is one of the best pasts of this ability. Oh and you can also use mind control but only on things others do subconsciously, such as making them spill their coffee, or making them take a longer route to get to their destination.

3. Dreamwalking! You can enter the dream realm and, yes, you can meet Luna there. You will instinctively know whose dream is whose when you look at each door.

4. Telekinesis! Move things with your mind! Crack necks with your mind as well!

5. Hallucination Inducing! This can be used on one person by being able to influence anything and everything a person sees. This can only be used on one person at a time. To use this ability just think of what you want whoever it is you are inducing hallucinations into to see.

6. Shapeshifting and voice mimicry! You could turn into discord if you wanted to. However, both children and animals will see your true form and not your shapeshifted form, unless they deliberately switch to viewing your shapeshifted form.

7. Selective visibility! You can choose who sees you and who doesn't. You can pretty much remain invisible from anyone you don't want knowing you're there. This ability doesn't work on animals and children though. They always see you.

8. Tentacles! You can emit a maximum of one hundred tentacles from your back. However, you can only control so many limbs. If you let out all 100 I think you'd probably have to control them in swarms rather than individually.

9. Complete invulnerability from physical damage! However, you still have to follow the laws of physics, meaning if somebody punches you hard enough to throw you a hundred meters, you're gonna fly a hundred meters away.

10. Extreme resistance to magic! Only the strongest of magic will hurt you and only extremely powerful magic will cause you pain, and your regeneration should take care of any magic damage anyway. You can probably take about a hundred and fifty fully powered blasts from Celestia or Luna, but it will probably still sting though. Oh, and discord's chaos magic won't work on you at all. This ability also scales with fear. The more afraid of you your opponent is, the less damage their magic will do to you.

11. Enhanced regeneration! You regenerate about half as fast as wolverine, meaning you can be killed by magic if it's strong enough and if you're not careful. You also don't have any organs including pain receptors so you don't have to worry about those and you won't feel any pain unless the magic that hit you is extremely powerful.

12. Enhanced strength! Your strength scales with your opponent's fear of you. So scare them shitless. Regularly you're around strong enough to lift a car and throw it around ten meters away from you. With enough fear though, you could destroy Canterlot Castle with your bare hands.

13. Your own personal pocket dimension! You are pretty much omnipotent in this dimension. Now that might seem great, but even better news is that you can drag other enemies that might otherwise be too strong to defeat into your pocket dimension. You won't be able to manipulate them but you will be able to manipulate the world around them, seeing as they would not originally be from your dimension. Oh, and one other thing you can't do in your pocket dimension is creating sentient life, so no being a God in your own universe.

Alright, now that you know how OP you are, let's talk about restrictions. The elements WILL work on you so be warned. Your abilities also scale with fear, much like Pennywise's abilities. The less someone fears you, the more damage they can do to you and the less damage you'll be able to do to them. And the more someone fears you, the less their attacks will affect you and the more you will be able to affect them. Don't worry too much though, you have a far aura that you will have to learn to toggle on and off. It's currently on though.

The last thing I need to inform you about is your new hunger… for souls, that is! Yes, you need to eat souls to stay alive. One per day. I'll leave learning to suck souls to you. If you don't eat at least one soul per twenty four hours, you will start to experience extreme hunger. It will feel like your stomach is burning from the inside by day two. It only gets worse from there. By day five, you'll be experiencing twice as much pain as they do in hell. Trust me, I know. I've been there. You can go seven days without a meal but I don't think you'll even last a day and a half. The more fear you induce into your victims, the more tasty they will be. The only way to get rid of this hunger is by eating the soul of an immortal. Other displaced won't work though.

And before you think about going all vigilante and only killing bad guys, I've seen your future if you go down that path. You suck about three souls from bad guys then begin to starve and start with the good guys after that. What did you think? This is the MLP universe. It's bloody peaceful. How many bad guys did you think there were?

And with that, I leave you to your own devices.

Yours sincerely,
The Splendormerchant

P.S. Heh. Just thought of that one. Has a nice ring to it doesn't it?

'What. The. Fuck.' I thought to myself.

'Focken crackhead,' - I thought as I brought both my hands up to feel my face, - 'There's no way I'm the focken slederm -'

My thoughts stopped as I felt smooth skin devoid of any facial features. "Okay, deep breaths. Deep breaths," I told myself softly.

"I can't even fucking breathe because I don't have act God damn lungs!" I screamed out in a distorted voice that was accompanied by static. Think Kylo Ren's helmet voice but more demonic.

"You bastard! You put me in a land of pacifist, adorable, peace loving ponies as a soul sucking monster from the Devil's nightmares!" I screamed out into the forest.

"Your fucking mother is gay and your dad is probably a dog you piece of shit!" I continued to rant in my demonic voice.

After ten minutes of ranting and cursing the merchant that sent me here, I decided to try and use my abilities.

'Okay, telekinesis. Sounds simple enough,' I thought.

I took a small rock in my hand.

"Fly!" I shouted at it. Nothing happened.

"Float!" I shouted at it. Again, no reaction.

"Abracadabra!" I shouted at it. The rock just stayed there, however I could've sworn that an inanimate object somehow managed to facepalm despite me keeping constant sight of it.

I got fed up and crushed the rock into nothing but dust and let it fall to the floor. I wasn't that surprised by my strength considering the letter and that I was the literal Slender Man now.

I moved onto the next rock and tried the same phrases but mentally. It didn't work.

I got frustrated but wasn't prepared to give up so easily. I decided to try a different approach. Instead of giving commands to the rock, I imagined it floating. And, it worked!

After the first rock worked, I tried with other objects. Multiple rocks at once, a boulder, an entire tree which I ripped from the ground, two trees at once.

'Woah, does my telekinetic abilities even have a limit?' I thought, amazed. I then tried multiple rocks, a boulder, and five trees all at once. I lifted them all up, floated them around me in circles for about a minute, then put them down. 'This is amazing!'

'Alright, one down, eight more to go,' I thought to myself.

Canterlot Castle

Luna P.O.V.

I was walking through the halls of the castle to find something to do.

The night court was about as popular as it usually was. One of my regulars did come and seek an audience with me though so it wasn't all bad.

As I was walking through the castle, I thought about the events that had occurred recently. 'Discord, Chrysalis, Sombra, Tirek… I feel like the threats we face are getting more terrible each time,' she thought, 'And that's not even counting the recent discovery of that anti cutie mark village that was being led by some unicorn named Sunlight Glammer or something.'

I sighed in worry, 'I just hope the elements will be able to combat whatever threats are bound to surface. Although, after beating Discord, Sombra and Tirek, what wouldn't they be able to overcome? The only thing that could beat them now would be if Grogar himself came back.'

"Well, I'm off to the dream realm seeing as I have nothing better to do," I told the two guards that were assigned to escort me, "The both of you are relieved from your duty. I'm going to retire to my bed chambers,"

"Yes, princess," They said in unison.

I proceeded to my room and prepared to enter the dream realm.

Everfree forest

Makael P.O.V. (Three hours after discovering abilities)

'Well, I've got telekinesis down, teleportation down, shapeshifting down and I can now control up to eight tentacles. The only other things I have to try out are my mental abilities such as my selective visibility (or invisibility), the hallucination thingy, and my telepathy, which I find extremely limited by the way, and all of these abilities require… test subjects, for lack of a better term. It's not like I can test those on myself,' I recalled all of the abilities in the letter, excluding the passive ones, 'Although I do feel like I'm forgetting something.'

I reread the letter again and found what I was looking for, 'Yes, of course, dreamwalking! And seeing as it is currently night time, I think there would be no better time than the present to try and learn this ability now. I just hope I don't find Luna there though. I don't think I can change my appearance in the dream realm and I don't exactly know how to explain to her that I used to be a bipedal hairless ape that got turned into a soul sucking demon at a costume party while buying tentacles for my costume. '

"Alright, let's do this," I said out loud, "Dream realm activate!"

'Okay, that obviously wasn't gonna work,' I tried to think of something else, 'Okay how about… Dream realm activate!'

'Okay, thinking it didn't work any better than saying it out loud. What now?' I pondered.

'Enter dream realm,' I thought to myself only to be met with the chirping of crickets, 'Alright, this is getting bloody irritating. How the hell do I figure out how to enter a nonexistent plane of existence?!'

I decided to try one more time by closing my eyes and picturing entering the dream realm instead of thinking it seeing as all my other powers required me to visualise using them in order to use them. I calmed myself back down and pictured what the dream realm would look like. The cosmic sea in tmr background, the doors lining both sides of me, and finally myself, standing in the sea of never ending doors and cosmic substance.

When I opened my eyes, I was there. In the middle of the endless doors known as the dream realm. I then did what any other person would have done in my position. I looked for Twilight Sparkle's door.

Author's Note

So basically, half of this chapter is explaining which of Slender Man's abilities Makael inherited, since there is a large portion of it which is headcannon.

Please give me any feedback in the comments. All criticism is welcome. And if you have criticism for me, no sugarcoating please. Hope you enjoyed.
