Chapter 3 The Merchant Guild and a Roegadyn

On the other side of the gold portal. I was bought to an office complex lobby floor of a glossy white, the walls we a marbled black and blue, the ceiling was high a chandler was hanging from it with crystals that looked as if they held galaxy in them.
at the front desk made of marble. sitting at the desk Meryl Stryfe of Trigun series typing on a keyboard. she was wearing a white cloak blue jeans and white boots.

she looked over at my "Ah Mr. Blood it is good to finally meet you, are meeting with..." she looked at her computer screen "Here we are you are meeting with Your Merchant in his office floor three-room six hundred and sixty-six." She stated to me. "I will call someone to take you there since it is your first time here," she told me. Meryl looked to the intercom pressed the button, Ms. Briggs, can you come to the front desk Mr. Blood need to meet with his Merchant. she will be a minute she one of the managers of the Resident Evil Four Merchants. She is a really good worker," she began to whisper and her husband says she is quite the deviant in the bedroom." she whispered. I chuckled a bit trying and failing to hide my smirk.

A voice rang out "MERYL!" I look over the find a furry cat wearing a pink business skirt pink hi heels and black-rimmed glass. Callie Briggs from Swat Kats.

She looked at Meryl with her eye twitching "You know I have really good hearing," she yelled at the receptionist. Her tail was all fluffy. What I do with my Razor in the bedroom is my business, she said with her face rosy. she then realized she was doing this in front of me she took a quick look at herself and straightened herself out. Anyway Mr. Blood I will take you to your Merchant." she said guiding me forward.

Meryl looked over to me "Good luck with your job Mr. Blood." She said to me.

I walk past her and give her a wave "Will do," I replied. I continued following Ms. Briggs we walked to the elevator. Hey Ms. Briggs how did you come to work here?" I asked.

She put a finger to her lips. "Well I was doing my deputy mayor and the mayor's duties since He never did them," she said with anger in her voice. "When the Swat Catz came rushing into the building. and told me to get as many people as I can I only managed to get Felina Feral before everything else was devoured by blackness. We were saved by one of the Merchants we all got new jobs sent throughout the multiverse to help other worlds. I cried over all the lives lost and what I left unsaid to Jake," she said.

Thinking to myself 'that would explain why she always had a car breakdown to calling them' I chuckled to myself.

The elevator beeped we continued walking and she continued her story. Well, that is when Razor rushed over to embrace me and he reviled he was Jake. I kissed him right then and there and we have been married about twenty-six years now. She stated. We started walking down an office hall passing several different people handsome Jack, a Moogle, Jack of blades, and A being so horrible I only shall say his name once Mister Popo.

We made it to room six hundred and sixty-six Ms. Briggs knocked on the door "Welcome!" a gravelly voice replied She opened the door. And revealed My Merchant sitting behind a mahogany desk. "Thank you, Ms. Briggs, you may leave." said The Merchant. she turned around and left down the hall. "Sit down Pact Holder," he said as he pointed to a chair. I sat down on the chair it was so comfy much better than even the bed in Piltover. "Congrats on reaching level two on artificer. Normally you will meet with the displacer for the displaced, You are about to meet but they are indisposed at the monument. now let's begin the briefing of the displaced." He began to tell me about Brex Mith.

thirty minutes later

I looked at him "Why are there three different redacted Incident reports in his file? I thought they were only created from interference from managers and other displacers, and why are they all redacted?" I questioned. The merchant just shrugged.

"Alright Pact Holder last minute prep," he said to me I began to add Repeating shot to Valkyrie. I portal opened behind me "Good Luck Pact Holder." he said as I walked through the portal.

I walked through the portal to see the Displaced that had done the summoning. Brex Mith was covered with a dark yellow robe and gear while his shoulders and head are covered with a dark brown fabric compared to the rest and the owl face mask. I then spoke in a businesslike tone, “Brex Mith, Destroyer of the possessed spider, savior Bright Mac, and Pear Butter, the ender of a slavery ring.” As soon as I got to that last bit, I had Found a sharp rock that was able to pierce my boot. This caused me to Hug the planet face first.

Brex saw this and raised an eyebrow from behind his mask while looking both very confused and astonished at the same time with how someone who had just walked through a portal, would even know about him. After noticing the fall, he then said in a rather unsure tone, “And… apparently, the worst that picking a summoning location...”

I sat down on my ass and lifts my injured foot to see that my boot had already Mended itself. Slowly I get up and ask, “So what have you summoned me for to chat or to help with something?”

Brex starts to relax a little bit after noticing that this guy was not hostile from the start. Seeing that this wouldn’t turn out to be a shoot first, ask questions later scenario. The Roegadyn takes a seating position about three yards away on a nearby flat rock.

Brex began speaking, “Okay, seeing as I just summoned somebody by using what could only be a token. The displaced stories are completely true then. I found your item after defeating a monster.” That was when he held up the small lantern in front of himself. Afterward, he continued with, “I called because I think I'm gonna need an extra pair of hands with handling a Primal problem. Are you familiar with the game called Final Fantasy 14?”

I then placed a finger on my chin and replied, “Yes I am familiar with it. I played till a little after the Heavensward beginning, but I know only a little. But I only know a few things about the new DLC called Endwalker.” I said. then I put out my hand for a shake. Speaking politely, I then said, “Sorry, its rude of me not to introduce myself, my name is Ryu Blood. A pleasure to meet you.” I said in a knightly tone.

Reaching his hand out, Brex takes his hand and gives it a firm shake. Afterward, he returns to his seating position before saying, “My name is Brex, but I already know that you know my name given your... Entrance.” He then gestures with his right hand towards the spot that the incident had happened with the rock just moments before

The Roegadyn brings a hand up to his face and starts to stroke the chin of the mask as if it was an actual face and starts to make a thinking gesture by tilting his head. This was then followed by saying, “That's a nice party trick you pulled off with knowing who I am. I take it that’s either part of your displaced powers or something else is going on. Because I doubt that I'm famous enough to be known in the multiverse, considering I have not sent a token of my own out yet.” Brex Stated

I looked at my gantlet when the text appeared just like a Discord message would. Then he looked to the Roegadyn and said, “I can only say I have friends in high places.” He continued by saying, "So what do you need help with?” I asked Him.

Brex lower his head and began to talk in a serious tone. While at the same time, sounding a little tired. “It's like this… I got a notification through my game system that came along with my character. It says that Titan got summoned only recently and when I looked at my map to find out where it is, I found the quest marker pointing to the rock farm. If you happen to be like me and know anything about My Little Pony, then you should know what that might mean for a certain pink pony. I'm worried that I might not be enough and I summoned you to see if I can get some extra assurances that nothing will go wrong. My situation is a little... complicated. I made sure that I'm not noticed all that much. In fact, everyone assumes I'm a pony or something along those lines. I could probably take out regular Titan or even in his stronger version beyond that by myself. But that would require me to do a lot more and I don't want to raise my power level too high, otherwise sunbutt might pick up on It.”

I looked at Brex with a knowing look and said, “Ah I see, so you are one of those displaced. Is she evil or is she just a bitch like the rest of the multiverse?” I then added, “Titan might be hard since I have no idea of the power scaling is for me in your world. Also, I have no training whatsoever, I have only made my gunblade recently. Well, you are in luck that I have my army on call. Maybe that might work.” I then lifted My gantlet and a screen popped up and I started typing.

Without even bothering to lift his head, Brex raised his right arm with the back of it facing towards me. His eyes laying on it while he spoke, “Honestly speaking, I don't really know if she's evil or not. But I can tell you what our first and only exchange was. It involved her in the sky at a great distance, pulling a widow maker on me.” he Sighed out.

Letting out a sigh, he continued, “She got me from behind and literally disintegrated my right arm. This led to me getting pretty much beaten to hell him back. In the end, I somehow managed to beat her but my memory of that day is... not so reliable and I don’t know the whole story just yet. I was told that I did beat her in combat, but it resulted in me dying and having to be respawned at the tree of harmony after I had already set it as a home point.” He started shaking his head back-and-forth Before adding, “I didn't even get to see much, Ha! Not even a speech. Just up and tries to kill me with a sneak attack.” At this point, the Roegadyn was visibly shaking from anger.
After a few seconds, Brex said, “You mentioned something about an army. But I would really like to keep this under the radar if at all possible. As for the training, how about I give you some lessons on when my little problem is settled?”

I looked at Brex and shook my head before stating, “Keeping this under the radar will be impossible if it is a Primal, because it will drain the Aether from the world which is its magic and life force. She will sense it as soon as it comes into this world.” I then continued by saying, “But you will not be alone if Celestia tries anything, I know what my powers are and how to use them. Not all that well, but I can help.” I gave Brex a nod before going on, “But getting lessons does sound good. Oh right.” I pull out a scroll of mending and said, “I would like to offer you this scroll of mending.” I then offered it to Brex from both of my hands with a slight bow.

Graciously Brex take the scroll and examines it, but he made sure not to open it out of fear of prematurely activating the spell. Glancing back at the man, he asked, “Scroll of mending? Isn't that from Dungeons & Dragons?” Brex’s head tilts and turns towards my weapon and then back at him before adding,” If I'm not mistaken, isn't that lantern I used to summon you meant to be part of the weapon that Thresh uses on that game called League of legends?” That was when he held up the lantern he had mentioned.

I then looked closely at Brex and said, “Yes, I got two D & D classes, The Dungeons 3 Gantlet, Thresh’s weapon, blue magic from 14. So, what did you get, is see 14. Not much else?" I asked.

Brex responded with, “Seeing as you're being forthcoming of what you've got, it’s only right that I did the same with you. I was originally nothing but final fantasy 14. So, I got all the classes. But for some… let's say, reasons that would take a while explain, I didn't get to have everything all at once when I arrived here and had taken some time to get the others.” He said sadly.

He pulls out from his item box not even a second later, a large leather-bound book that appears in his hand within the amount of time it would take to blink. Playfully waving it as an example, Brex continued with, “I got this book of spells and potions from the anime Rise of The Shield Hero. Along with a few small knick-knacks like the telephone from the anime, Oh My Goddess. The last bit is this bracelet that one would equip onto a character from Final Fantasy 7.” He stated.

I looked at the gear Brex broke out and asked, “All right, so the Pie's rock family farm is in danger. What date is it?" I questioned.

Putting the book back into his item Box, Brex makes the motions of looking up to the sky and humming to myself for a moment before answering, “It's close to about… 11 years and 10 months before Nightmare Moon’s return... So, I'm before the pilot episode. Right now, all the members of the main six are roughly around 6 to 8 years old, I think. I already had a small run-in with Apple Jack and Rarity.” He mentioned.

I looked at My gantlet and a screen appeared. On said screen, was a dark elf wearing a black dress. "Master, there seems to be a group of adventurers here asking questions. Normally would not say anything to them, but they are saying the gate came out of nowhere. Do you think this has anything to do with your summoning?" Thalya Questioned.

I then replied to her, “Maybe, looks like I will need to head in soon then.” I stated.

Slowly getting up from his rock chair, the Roegadyn starts dusting off any dirt that may have gotten stuck to his butt after sitting on the rock. Turning his direction towards that of the rock farm, he gestures with a wave that the both of them should get a move on. He then says, “We are about half a day out. We can chat along the way. Just keep an eye out for anyone.

From what I could tell, they don't know about humans. But if they did, they're keeping it a good secret."

I nodded my head, then looks to Brex and asks “Do you have a scarf or something? I guessing my clothes will be fine but I have nothing to cover my face.” I then turned back to the screen and said, “Alright Thalya, have the minions tell the adventurers they can eat at the Goble grill and rest at the Travelers lodge.” After he started the orders, she gave him a bow, then the screen disconnected.

Raising an eyebrow from behind his mask, Brex asks, “Say, what's this about adventurers, got something going on in your world that you're able to keep track of while over here?” At the same time, he reaches into his item box and pulls out one of the wooden masks any player would get as a quest reward. It was dark brown and had two lines going down the sides of the face that were colored red while eye holes were circular.
Turning back to the man, he hands the item over and says, “I think this should do the trick. From a distance, it will work. Just avoid getting too close to them for too long and you should be fine. Either that or I can give you a copy of that mask from dragon quest that I got as a quest reward for a seasonal event. You know the one with the small horns and what looks like an air filter around the mountain area.”

I reached up grabbing my cowboy hat and put it in my storage. I then take the mask and put it on before raising my hood. I then ask, “Thanks. Do you think this will work?" I asked Brex.

Raising both arms in a, I don't know gesture, Brex reply’s with, “I've been around for over a month now inside of a city and you’d would be surprised that they don't really care about you wearing a mask, but they do seem to care far more about the fact that you're a male. So, I haven't had anyone try to pull my mask off or anything. I just keep my distance… a lot."

I couldn’t help but groan before saying, “Oh, it's one of those worlds. The funny thing is the most dangerous villains in MLP are mostly male. Hmmm, I wonder, could that be the reason they become villains is because they were treated like shit, so with them being seen as monsters, they literally became monsters in one way or another? But of courses, I know that too well." I sighed out loud afterward.

Wanting to make sure that his new partner was up to speed, Brex then told me a basic rundown on this world's current status when it came to the male and female dynamic. This went on for a good 15 or 20 minutes, which was just the right amount of time needed to get out of that deep ravine.

As we were walking out of the crag. My gantlet lit up the dark elf was on the screen. I then heard her say, "Master, looking into the Adventurers, they are from Dodge city they were looking for a place to rest from a quest that turned bad. What shall we do with them?" She asked me.

I look at the screen and let out a sigh before saying, “Have their wounds treated and let them rest up.” At that moment his stomach demanded food. That was when he commanded the dark elf, “I will need two gobblers and a barrel of beer." Afterward, the elf bowed and the screen cut out. He then spoke up and asked, “Sorry, I have not eaten today so can we rest for a sec?" I asked.

Hearing the request, the Roegadyn give a nod and they made their way over to the nearest set of trees to get out of the open. Taking the opportunity he asked, “So mind filling me in on what your world is like?” He asked

I then started to set up a fire and said, “Well I didn't get an Equestria like most. Instead, I got a Runeterra with an Eques mixed in, like how your world is a Eques with Final Fantasy 14 as the primary that was switched. I have to deal with asshat of Piltover, basically Hitech Canterlot with a super slum Chempunk city under it.” As I said this, a portal open and a beer barrel and two tied up, live turkeys Brex assumed to be the gobblers came out. I then asked, "Do you have your chef leveled up? I could only do a basic cooking. I can slaughter them and pluck them." I said.

After seeing the portal and turkeys, Brex got the gist of what he was saying and replied with, “Yeah I got It leveled up. Made sure to get it maxed out. Well, as Maxed as I could get it for my current time frame anyway. I have no idea how much time passed between our world and this one. I do remember there being a DLC called Shadowbringer that was about to be released. When I died before because of what Sunbutt did, I got to meet some people on another side and they conjured up the gaming system for me to play it on. But yeah, I can give it a go. If I can cook stuff from this world, I can probably cook stuff from yours.

I picked up the turkeys by the legs and brought out my red glowing kusarigama and with one strike, the heads came off the gobblers and their bodies went limp. bloody mist poured out like a waterfall leading to my lantern behind me, I then spoke again while I began plucking the feathers off the birds. “Well, before I was displaced. The DLC was Endwalker with the Reaper and Sage classes. This was after Shadowbringer. I wonder if you have those stones or will you have to get them. If it is the latter, then my temple might help." I told him.

Hearing this, Brex’s eyes go wide behind his mask. With interest laced in the Roegadyn’s tone, he asked, “So they already came out with another DLC. So I guess it's true that when someone gets displaced, there thrown in a random timestream. I guess it's nearly impossible to try and figure out a correlation between the times when a displaced is taken from their world. Sounds like you came at a later point time. I've already gone through the halfway point of 1000 years in this world." He stated

That's when Brex looked down to his hands for a few moments before adding, “Well, I have no idea what the Reaper and Sage class are capable of. Judging from the names, I can pretty much guess that they’re the new damage dealer and healer types. I think if I was to suddenly learn them now, I'll probably pass out from some migraine after learning a whole bunch of new spells all at once. I remember that's what it felt like when I had to master Gun blade as soon as I got the quest back when it was just a game. I don’t want to imagine what it would feel like with it actually being stuffed into my brain…” He winced.

Brex then let out a chuckle as he takes the readied bird from me and start on the cooking preparations. Going into the item box, the Roegadyn made a small number of different seasonings appear on the ground. The two gobblers we're then prepared to be roasted over the fire. It didn't take much time before the prep work was complete and they were now sitting on a roasting stick that was improvised using some random branches that happened to be just right for the job.

I sat down on the ground and started to speak in a serious tone, "Yea, first rule. Murphy rules the multiverse, so trying to predict anything is a losing game. From what I know of the influence of this world, it will try to mirror its primary, eques then secondary being 14, but don't forget your trinities, being slime shield ETA. they may have a few major influences, like how I found out that there is a Tarrasque from D&D is in my world. So be careful, so try to remember that all you can to prep." I stated

While still keeping an eye on the food, Brex then asked, “From what you just said, I take it your version It's not really all that friendly now, is it. Well, I can't say that mine's better or worse. All I've been doing is hiding and biding my time. From what I understand, it’s nearly a constant among all displaced that the element bearers need to have been assembled at least one time. So, until the pilot episode starts, I'm reduced to hiding in the shadows. Ha, No one from this world has even seen my own face and I've been technically around for 800 years. Just to make sure I don't slip up or say too much, I limited myself to only saying only a few words at a time.” He said.

After a few seconds of silence, the Roegadyn shook his head up to look towards me and said, “You already got to meet up with your twilight, right? Or at least any of the main six. I should already have the strength to be able to stand up to that Sunbutt they got ruling this land. Yet here I am hiding like a cockroach.
Waving his hands in some random direction, Brex also asked, “So tell me, how did your first interaction with the ponies of your side turn out? I ended up losing an arm on day two after showing my existence.

I started by saying, "Well, the first time was me arriving in the world. I landed on my back, Broke a wooden desk. I was very out of it from the pain. It ended with me getting a bed and sleeping but nothing reacting badly." I then grabbed one of the barrels and putting a tap in before pulling out two mugs and filling them to a nice foam level and offering one Brex. I then said to the Roegadyn, “Don't worry, this can't get anyone drunk. It just relaxes the body and tastes like your favorite acholic drink.” I stated.

Exempting the mug, Brex takes a look at the contents inside. After slushing it around for a moment, he shrugs and brought it to his mask. Just as it comes into contact, the liquid is poured and quickly vanishes as If someone had poured it straight down the drain. As soon as the last drop disappears, he lowered the mug. There was then the sound of someone moving their lips as if tasting what they had just drunk a little more before there was a loud belch that caused a few birds in some nearby trees to immediately take flight.
There was a small pause of silence before Brex spoke out in an embarrassed tone, “Well I have to say that tastes pretty good. Also, that was the very first alcoholic beverage I can remember.” This was then followed by a second belch, but much lower in volume. Now feeling a little more relaxed, Brex then finished off by saying, “I think with you so far, I have spoken more than I have in the last 800 years. Haha hahaha, maybe that makes me the king of the loners.” he announced.

I had taken a sip from my mug before saying, “Yeah, I tinkered with the brewer to make this turn out well and I know someone that has you beat, the champion Skarner been alone for about 2 to 3 millennium. So, yea it could be worse.” I then spoke in a dark tone, “But then again, I know I will have to fight literal gods. Most gods out there are not nice, some of them slaughter whole cities.” I then asked, “So how’s the food coming along?"

After taking a quick glance Brex replied, “I think it's about done, what do you prefer, original recipe or extra crispy?” That's when he takes his off of the fire and takes a good look at it before saying, “You know, this is probably the only time I've even had meat on this world that wasn’t fish. Wow… I'm missing out on a whole lot of stuff...” That's when he takes one big bite out of it.
That's when he takes another big bite out of it and after a few seconds of chewing he swallows before saying, “Neat trick huh? You can keep the mask; it does the same thing.” That's when he points towards the one, he’s currently wearing and then adds, “Never have to take the darn thing off. Gotta love to look some pony's faces when they see that you're about to make a mess out of your face, only to find out you're eating through your mask.”

I called out. "Extra crispy" I then grabbed some of the crispy gobbler. After taking a bit, I moaned a little, "MmMMMMMMM so good." I then take another sip.

After Brex finished eating the gobbler and stuck the stick back into the ground near the fire, he looked up at me and asked in an unsure tone, “Say, I know we're getting along and all. But I'll be forward with you. I'm paranoid as fuck. Now we're about to go up against a Primal here and a small part of me still thinks that you're gonna stab me in the back. Yeah, heck… I wouldn't be surprised or take it personal if you thought the same about me. So, before we move on, I gotta ask. You know about my game and is and how in it, there's a special ability that the player has as the main character right?” He then gestures to himself with both hands.

I look at Brex with serious then asked, "Are you sure you want to do that? My past has mostly been a nightmare, there is a reason why I can kill so easy. But if you must, then do it.” I then stated, “I’ll say this, you're being careful, now I am paranoid. I have designed a home to survive most apocalypses and supernatural threats of all mythos, now that is paranoid!" I exclaimed.

After a few moments, Brex activates the Echo and the world begins to fade as a distant memory comes into view.

in the echo

Brex finds himself in a hospital room of white with a child that looks no older than five years old that was laying in the bed with almost no motion except breathing and his head unsupported by his neck and dull-looking pale blue eyes that are dead to the world. He was wearing a white gown with hair a light brown. Brex heard a woman crying outside the door. He couldn’t see them, only hear them. The woman cried out and asked, “Is he going to be aright doctor” The doctor replied, “After the damage to half of his brain, he will never be able to walk, see, hear or speak ever again.” He said flatly. Brex heard the sounds of a broken mother.
The next memory came into focus. It was the kid from before, he looked about 8 and he was walking, talking, but Brex saw he was in a nurse’s office of what looked like a school, she hands him a plastic cup of water and two yellow pills. He took them without complaint. then the Roegadyn saw his eyes just glazed over like no one was in there.

The scene faded and was taken by another memory. This time, he looked like he was eleven. His eyes were still glazed. He was on the ground not moving while kids were kicking him in the stomach, then you saw his eyes change from the glazed to a deep abyssal blue. Brex saw him grab the lead kids’ leg and drag him over to the nearby fence and processed to laugh as he stomps that guy’s skull. The other boys ran away. The next thing seen was the kid being dragged to the office of the principle. A fairly aged black man in that was wearing a suit. He came out with a pedal with holes and proceed to beat him. Afterward, the kid walked off back to class.
Another scene came after that. He looked to be in his late teen when a slightly pudgy girl walked up to him and said, “Do you want to go out?" Brex saw her ex was behind her and that she had just broken up with him. The guy was steaming with rage. Like a fool, he said, "Sure"
The next day later. The girl said, “Thanks, I no longer what to go out with you. I just used you to hurt my ex by going out with the most degusting, serial killer-like monster here.
Another one came after. He was now in his twenties laying on a bed concentrating on something in his hand. It was a ball of energy, he looked like paler as he put in more energy as he was saying, "Breach the veil, MERCHANT I NEED YOU. TAKE WHERE A MONSTER LIKE ME TO A PLACE I CAN HAVE A HOME AND LIVE, NOT JUST SURVIVE IN A HELL!"

Ryu pov

After Brex sees this vision, he finds himself on both hands and knees, while breathing heavily. He had taken a moment to catch my breath. Brex then spoke out in a tone that was filled with both exhaustion and uncertainty, “Note to future self, brace yourself… HUFF When using that on another… human.” After getting back on my feet. Brex takes a seat again and mutters, “I've only used this one time before... And it was nowhere near as intense as that. It's either you or that humans have way more intense emotions compared to the ponies.

I spoke as if I was talking about the weather. “It is both, humans were always curule to each other. I think that’s the reason I got sent to Runeterra. I would have been one of ones attacked by Celestia anywhere else sense you know Thresh is all dark magic, but not just any kind necromancy. My life before was hell, I willing threw myself into a land of war for a better life. Isn't that ironic?" I laughed out.

After taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Brex said, “I think we should probably get a move on. So, I don't know about you, but I really want to kick something in the skull… repeatedly, and Titan would make for a good outlet. Besides, we only got a few days before the reunion of theirs starts up. If we don't take care of that primal before then, we are gonna literally have an army that’s known for their extreme strength,” He told me.

I then replied, “Right." Before putting dirt in the fire put it out and spread the ashes. I then said while brushing the dirt off of me. "You can take the keg; I literally mass-produce it,” I told him.

Immediately after hearing that, Brex takes hold of the keg and it disappears into his item box. He then said, “We're close to half a day away from here, so we may want to get a move on it. We should also come up with a battle plan.”

I looked around, “I'm a crack shot and good with machines, so I guess I'm a machinist for the day,” I said.

As they walked, the Roegadyn brought a finger up to his chin and began to hum to myself. After a few seconds, he turned towards me and asked, “OK so you're gonna be playing mostly the range damage dealer. Say, you said something about dungeons 3. Does that mean you have access to call on a few Nagas to help us with the healing? I would prefer to avoid using any magic classes right now, So I'll be focusing on either melee or tanking. I'm capable of switching in fight so I can do it a few times depends on what the level cap I'm setting myself at. first thing we need to do is track down and find out how strong he is. Luckily my quest has a marker on the map that should lead us right to him.”

I then answered, "Yeah, I can call some Nagas, along with some Arachnids to help with the damage dealing." I agreed.

He then replies with, “Sounds like a plan. But something's been bugging me. I raided the library in both Ponyville and in the sister's castle. But not once was there any mention of Primals. Either they never existed until I showed up or Sunbutt has been hiding knowledge about them…” Brex said this while crossing my arms and tilting my head to the side for a questioning pose.

I then spoke up, "The latter, have you seen the forbidden archives Celestia likes to keep? I mean even in the show Star Swirl had that time travel spell." I then blanched before going on, "Well shit, hope she doesn’t think to use that spell to see us fight the Primal.”

Brex began shaking my head before saying, “I considered that. But if she had been able to do that in the first place, I doubt there would have been an issue with her sister. Also, wasn't that spell incomplete? Oh well, I'll deal with it when it happens. As long as we keep our faces covered and don't show too much power to make her think we're some new pair of villains, then we should be fine. If anything, I'll just change my outfit after a while.

I reasoned, "Well for the Luna bit, it took longer than a week for that to happen. That was limited too and if Celestia does use it, she would not do a Twilight and reveal herself." I then agreed, “But yes, we should keep our power down though."

Letting out a small chuckle, the Roegadyn shakes his head before saying, “As long as we don't go over 9000, her scouter shouldn't be able to pick us up. Ha!”

I then retorted, "It would only take a seismograph to find titan" I mused, "But we should take him out fast or things will get complicated really quick." I said.

Stopping in his tracks, Brex looks up to the sky. He then says, “Well I just checked my world map, and looks like it's a clean shot over the wilderness. This might be a good opportunity to try out another mode of transportation. If we stay low enough, we should be able to avoid any detection.” That's when the Roegadyn held out his left hand towards an open area next to the pair. A quick flashlight erupted and when it died down, there was a tall bronze robot that was hovering with the use of two large propellers near where shoulders should be.

Taking a second to admire his work, Brex then turns towards me and says, “This guy seats two. Should get us there within an hour easy. Although I have to warn you, I never once saw any seatbelts in a game.

I hopped on and said, “Well that should be alright. Oh wait, there is a seat belt for me on this side but I don’t see one for you." He then eyes the belt suspiciously.

After seeing me jumping on, Brex jumps onto the robotic mount as well. Taking a look around, he sees that there is in fact no seat belt for him. The Roegadyn then gives it a few taps with his right hand and this causes it to leap high into the air with them both onboard of it. It then proceeds with its transformation while managing to not throw off its new passengers. They then find themselves kneeling nearly side-by-side while holding on to the edge of what appeared to be a large surfboard, flat surface on the top of its rocket-shaped form. The engines then rev up with the combined power from two propellers and one large rocket engine firing. Brex and I were now shooting through the skies at high speeds while avoiding the treetops by the narrowest of margins.

I just started to lay back on the board of the ship. Watching the sky passing by as they flew.

It had taken than no more than 40 minutes for them to get near the land the Pie family owned. Brex’s mount started its descent run and landed within the nearest patch of trees for cover before they started to dismount the robotic, transformer mount.

The man got off and stretch to get the stiffness out of his body and afterward said, "How far are away we now?"

Turning his head towards the direction of the rock farm, Brex gives out a small hum before answering, “We're less than half a kilometer away from here. If we were to go the rest of the way on foot, then it shouldn't take no more than 15 minutes for us to arrive. I can cut that time in half if I was to cast a speed spell on the two of us. However, it would take me some time to recover to cast more of the same type. It’s from that book for the Raise of Shield Hero's anime, so the spells from that one are more difficult for me to use, unlike the kind I could cast from my game.”

I then concluded, “I mean, you probably won't cast any spell even when fighting anyway. Should be ok to use it for now,” I reasoned.

Giving a small nod, Brex says, “That’s true. I’ll be using my nonmagic class's during this. But if I need to, then I can still go back and forth. It all depends on where I set my power at. If it can help, I would briefer not to go all out. Just like how you said before, she might have a way to gather evidence on me. Should it come to that and she does, then I don’t want to tip my hand."
Takes in a deep breath, and says, it’s a good thing that this spell leveled up when I learned by newest spell.” Brex then begins to chant out loud, "By my name, decipher the laws of nature and bestow upon us your power. Medium Swift." When the chant was completed, the two displaced beings were surrounded by a shroud of barely noticeable green swirls of energy before fading away. Brex spoke up quickly and said, "We need to hurry, this will only go continuously for a few minutes."

I responded with, "Right let's go lead the way!”

It didn't take duo much time at all for them to arrive. When they did, there was no sign of any living creature in sight. However, there was a rather large opening between some rocks towards the end of the area that seemed to be used by the farmers. Brex indicated towards it and led the way to the entrance. He then spoke up just enough for the other to hear, "My Quest marker seems to be leading down in there."

I look at the cave, then back to Brex before saying, "Well let's go and see how Primal's like to party, Valkyrie let's go.” I reaches behind myself and pulled out a large black hilt that quickly unfolds into a blood-red chainsword with a blue glow emanating from its core. With a flick of my wrist, it started changing, the hilt folded to a forty-five-degree angle. The backplate splitting and this led to it revealing a rather large barrel of a gun. Pieces shifted about as to let the barrel with the chain on it popped off and become coiled around the gun. This all happened in a split second.

Brex raises an eyebrow from behind his mask upon seeing this and started to let out a whistle before saying, “Now that's a way to intimidate somebody.” Just as a precaution, The Roegadyn raised his level sync from 30 to 35. After doing so, he started down into the opening and found that it led into a cave network that stretched deeper into the earth that went at a slight drop every few meters.

As they descended down, I spoke up while gesturing to my weapon, "Best part, she has a bottomless cup and uses 50 caliber rounds. We shot something, we put a hole in it.” There was a strong sense of pride in my voice. I then brought Valkyrie next me face and added, "Tell me when and I’ll summon our support." I mused

While still not taking his eyes away from the rocky path ahead, which was just large enough for a small group to traverse together, he asks, "What yeah got for this support? From what I can see, there isn't much room for a large force. We may be limited to 5 or 6 altogether and that’s including the two of us."

I then responded with, “Well, since it's Titan and he's not exactly small, we should have plenty of room for Nagas and Arachnids like was discussed earlier. I'm thinking of calling on additional Arachnids since they can shoot webs. If we can slow him down, then we will have an easier time. About two Nagas and three Arachnids should do it.” I concluded.

It didn't take them too long until they found the seemingly random tunnels were leading them to a section that seemed to be made up of more than simple rocks. The walls now had veins of what appeared to be a clear crystal like structure that started off in very small amounts until it became more frequent as the walls slowly began to transition over to it more and more, until every surface was now made of it completely.

He soon found that the walls were now were getting higher and further apart. This made more space for the two displaced beings. Brex walked up to one of the walls and placed a hand on it. His gloved hand soon found a lose section and broke off a small shard and after a few seconds of looking it over, he placed it into his item box and began to examine it in more detail. Brex then said in a nervous tone, "Um... Houston, we have a BIG… problem." He Exclaimed.
