I had just gotten back from my trip into Sombra’s world…. right to an enraged Lyra.

“And where did you go?!” Lyra screamed at me. “You’re supposed to be helping out with repairing the house that YOU destroyed!”

“Um, I got summoned... “ I said. “Oh hey! Someone’s summoning me right now, better go.”

“No they’re not!” Lyra yelled at me.

“Too late, bye!” I said, teleporting off to Canterlot. “Whew. That was a close one. Can’t believe I got away from that. I’m going to have to apologize later, though.

As I walked to Canterlot Castle, I found a strange gear. It was hard to deny that it was a token, what with it being red with yellow teeth and an arc reactor in the middle of it. I could only guess it was an Iron Man Displaced.

"My name is Jacob, but you may know me better as Iron Man. I am a prankster, a warrior, an inventor, as well as a pal. If your intentions are good and you hold love in your hearts, I will be there to help you. If you need a shoulder to cry on, a partner in a mission, someone to talk to, or an ally in battle, just clutch this gear and call for my aid!"

Yep, called it. Iron Man Displaced.

“Hey, Jacob.” I called to the token. “Wanna talk and mess around a little?”

Meanwhile at the Legion of Doom, er I mean a lab:

I was sitting in my lab, tables surrounding me piled high with inventions or spare parts. Spider man left a while ago with the armor and the bike. He was nice, and now I am alone with my thoughts.

When alone, one could think many things. They could range from an equation to the most simple, yet complicating problem of them all. Why? Why did I still feel mad after one thousand years trapped in stone? That was easy, I have ADD and I got bored after a couple of hours. Why did I go to that fucking convention. Simple, I wanted to make my brothers happy. Now I just had one question on my mind, “Why did I introduce rock, alcohol, and fireworks to ponies?”

“The answer to that question is simple, sir.” said Jarvis. “You felt that like spreading cheer.”

“Yes Jarvis, but why?” I said with a hint of wit.

Jarvis replied with, “Sir, I don’t quite follow.”

“What I am saying Jarvis, is that I want to know what led me to do those things? The ponies didn’t seem like they needed them. Granted, they enjoyed them, but they weren't depressed or sad in the first place.”

“Perhaps in time, you’ll figure it out, sir.” Jarvis said with a small hint of care in his voice.

Suddenly, a voice appeared in my head. “Hey, Jacob. Wanna talk and mess around a little?” Sure why not. I stood up and extended my arms to open a portal. Once I made it wide enough, I then yelled, “Bubbles, we are off.” I lept through the portal and Bubbles along with me.

Back with Dox:

A portal opened up in front of me and out stepped a guy in an Iron Man suit. Looked like the Mark Fifty. Now, that’s all I expected to walk out. What walked out after Iron Man was what I didn’t expect. No, I didn’t expect an Ursa Minor to walk out from the portal behind him.

“HOLY CRAP!” I yelled, jumping back in surprise. I could have sworn I heard several of the Canterlot ponies yelling and running away. It would have been funny, but the Ursa was right in front of me. “What the heck man?! Why do you have an Ursa Minor?!”

Iron Man walked out from behind the giant star bear and said, “Why not? I have raised Bubbles to be kind and playful. She is adorable and has a passion for helping me smash stuff.”

“Alright, I’ve heard stranger things.” I said. “But why name it Bubbles? Couldn’t you have given her a better name more fitting to an Ursa, like Andromeda?”

“Easy, when she was a cub, she was adorable, small, powerful, and blue. What other things could I name her other than after a powerpuff girl?”

“Again, Andromeda.” I said. “Eh, you named it, and I’m not gonna criticize people I just met. Speaking of such, let me introduce myself. I am Dox Ad Finem, and you?”

Clearing his throat, he said, "Okay then, I'll give you my name. I am: the student of Surprise Pie, ace pie thrower, inventor of the party bomb, traveler of universes, adventurer, the Iron Man, to a certain abridged vampire, I am known as Michele McDoesn'texist, and I am also the guy who will fight tooth and nail to protect his friends, but you may call me Jacob.”

“Well then, hello Jacob and welcome to my universe.” I said. “So, I’ve called you here to hang out a bit. Honestly, I’m still trying to get over my trip to another Displaced’s universe. That Sombra.”

Jacob fell silent for a few minutes and put his head down. A dark red aura that only I seemed to be able to notice seemed to flow from him in multiple directions. Bubbles took a few steps back into a nearby park. His head looked up and the helmet retracted to reveal a slightly chubby guy with bags under his eyes, straight hair, and a look that could only be described as scary. I guess the old saying is true. Always fear the anger of a man who never gets angry. It is slow to come, yet terrifying to behold. I almost pissed myself. “What did you say?” He said in a quiet, almost inaudible tone. I could feel the anger and joy within him trying to overpower each other.

“I, uh, said something about Sombra?” I said. “What’s up with you and Sombra?”

“Before I say anything, I was wondering if we could go into a secluded area. Do you have a house that we could use?” Jacob said after he calmed down.

“I know a good spot, why?” I asked.

“It’s a long story that I don’t think that the ponies that are hiding from Bubbles will find enjoyable. Also I might need some coffee.” He said in a calm and collected tone.

“Alright then. If you’ll just allow me to grab you for a second.” I said, grabbing onto Jacob and Bubbles. I then teleported us to the rubble of the Royal Pony Sisters Castle. “And there we go. Nice secluded area.”

We both sat down while Bubbles walked off to find a playmate. He cleared his throat and began his tale, “It all began with a stupid decision and spiraled from there. Whether it is an upwards spiral or a downwards spiral is up to you. I bought this sweet helmet from this Resident Evil merchant at comic con. Once I put it on, my face was pulled into a large portal along with the rest of me. I landed in a clearing and figured out how to fly thanks to the data banks that Jarvis had stored. I climbed up a mountain and found Surprise, a small, joyful, white coated, yellow haired, purple eyed, party pegasus. We had a decent first impression, and decided to go to Cloudsdale. I know what you are going to say, “But Jacob, wouldn’t you just fall from the clouds? To answer that question, I took two of Surprise’s feathers and I put them in my boot. She didn’t seem to notice that I took them, so I didn’t get into any trouble. I met some friends of hers, and we hung out. A few hours later, I revealed that I was homeless, while Surprise said that she needed a roommate. I was also out of a job because of the fact that I didn’t have a cutie mark and wasn’t a griffin, minotaur, donkey, cow, mule, or some other sentient creature native to Equestria. Instead of kicking me out, like an average roommate, she took me under her wing and trained the crap out of me to be a great performer and eventually her partner. I still remember the montage of it. I could sing it if you want.”

“Wow, sounds like you two hit it off pretty well.” I said. “But what does this all have to do with Sombra? How does he get involved?”

“I’m getting to that.” He said in a nice, yet serious voice. “Four years of training, labor, good deeds, and building a pretty kickass lab, both Surprise and I decided to go on a little trip to the Crystal Empire for some skiing. We had no idea about the battle that was currently raging on, so when we arrived there, we were quite surprised. Corrupted crystal soldiers vs pegasi aerial defence mixed with an earth pony strike force. The unicorns had to stay at Canterlot to act as a last line of defence. While singing some stuff from mission impossible, we snuck into the main castle and made it to Sombra. He was in a solid form when we first saw him. Surprise and I said that we wanted this to stop because we would like to ski. The king responded by firing a magic bolt that froze Surprise in a crystal prison. Before I could try to break it with my repulsor blasts, Sombra said that if I harmed the barrier, I would destroy Surprise, my one true friend. I then stated that magic can wear off, or just become next to useless. Sombra replied by saying that it would take almost a thousand years for the trap to wear off. I then charged at him with everything that I got. Magic met lasers while rocket punches met hooves in a blinding array of combat. I fired a barrage of missiles at him, he turned into shadow. I activated my hulkbuster suit, he summoned crystal armor. We were so evenly matched, that the battle took two hours. Both Sombra’s and my body ached all over. The thing is that Sombra had a trick up his sleeve. He summoned a dark crystal heart, and teleported me and all of Celestia’s army eight hundred miles out of the empire. I was going at mach five trying to reach the empire, but I was too late.” His voice then turned sad as I saw his voice drop. “He put the empire in a locked time bubble, which either sent the empire into the future, or froze it in a single moment in time. At this point, I broke down. I had just lost my best friend, and the one responsible for it was long gone. With a heavy heart, I returned to Cloudsdale to find that royal guards were waiting for me. I was sent to a fake trial that was so rigged, that an infant was my defence attorney. After making it official, I was sentenced to be turned to stone. After a thousand years of staring at the same bush of roses, singing “One hundred billion bottles of beer on the wall” for about a hundred times, I have finally escaped and with to get justice.” He calmed down and said. “That is why I have a problem with Sombra.” At this time, Bubbles returned with a hydra. Bubbles didn’t have any scars, but the hydra was bruised, beaten, and unconscious. Jacob then used a potion from a pocket in his suit that I didn’t see before, and that healed up the hydra. Once the hydra saw Bubbles, he ran for his life. Iron man then turned to Bubbles and said, “Next time, be gentle.”

“Wow. That sounds rough.” I said. “But hey, if you’re willing for spoilers, I can give you one.”

“I am fine with spoilers, so shoot” He said with a calm look.

“Well, first off, do you know of a show called My Little Pony?” I asked. “The reason I asked is because this world is essentially that, but with variations because of us Displaced. If you know the timeline of the show, then you’ll find that the world generally follows that timeline. So, if you’ve faced a changeling invasion recently, the Crystal Empire should show up soon.”

Iron Man stood there for a good twenty seconds before facepalming. “Why didn’t I see this sooner? It was so obvious.” He then let out an exasperated huff. “Can I at least troll the Celestia of this universe? It might give me some closure.”

“Well, why not troll your universe’s Celestia?” I asked. “I mean, I kinda have a thing with mine…. Even if she did originally try to kill me.” I then realized what I had just said. “B-but she never meant to!”

“I don’t know about yours, and I think that I forgot to mention this in my backstory, Celestia took all of my research. While some of it is good, like the medigun or the cure for the common cold, some of the things were from weapon’s development. For all I know, she could have an army of iron stallions.” He said with a small look of fear on his face.

“Well damn.” I said. “Sounds like you could have used my help more than I could be using yours. I mean, I just wanna have some fun… Unless Lyra or BonBon shows up….. Speaking of them, you wouldn’t happen to know how to instantly construct a house, would you?”

“Give me access to my lab, all of my drones, and about a metric ton of steel and stone, and I can make a pallice for them... in about three hours.” He said.

“Well, I can’t get you the steel and stone, and they don’t want a palace.” I said, opening my magic satchel. “What I can get you is the materials they already have at the construction site and a rift in space time…. Oh wait, no I can’t. I don’t have my Runic Portal Matrix. Sorry man.”

“It’s okay dude, I’ll just use my portal tech.” I said as I opened a small portal to my lab. “Wanna have a peak?”

“Sure, why not?” I said.

We then spelunked into the portal and landed on a small sofa. I then turned to a grinning Iron Man. “You finally have a purpose for something other than an excuse to play videogames or company.” He said while petting the couch. He then stood up and said in a very assertive voice. “Jarvis, activate drones fifty to one hundred and get as much steel as you can from the basement storage facilities.” He then turned to me and said, “You go explore this place, and try to find anything useful. I also would like to know where you got Hyperion tech?”

“There’s a displaced Jack.” I said. “Wait a sec, how’d you know I have Hyperion Tech on me? I never mentioned it.”

He then put on a Sherlock Holmes hat that he pulled out of nowhere, and said, “It’s clear from the smell of machine grease, fluid motion of your arm, and the fact that you have a tiny Hyperion logo on your false eye. It’s quite well hidden and I almost didn’t notice it. The other reason that I knew that was because most robotic eyes are red because of the fact that they would use infrared vision, while yours is bright blue. It lowered my guesses to me or Handsome Jack, and seeing as how I never met you before, you got it from either a Handsome Jack displaced or the real deal. You, Dox, just lowered my guesses.” He said all of this in a pretty good Sherlock Holmes voice while pointing a bubble pipe at me.

“Uh….” I said. “I think I’m gonna go take a walk.”

I got off the couch and started walking around the place that Jacob called home. Let me tell you, there was a lot of advanced things here, a lot of it far from my understanding. I got lost while observing all of it. It really didn’t help that his place was like a maze.

“Jacob?” I called out. “Hello! I’m kinda lost in a huge laboratory!”

“Do you need help, sir?” Said Jarvis on a random microphone.

“Um, yeah. I’m kinda lost.” I said, looking around for the source of Jarvis’ voice. “Hey, where the heck are you anyways?”

“I am capable of controlling and communicating through all tech in this facility.” Jarvis said. “What room in particular are you looking for?”

“I’m just trying to find Jacob.” I said. “I mean, I got lost looking around, and I think I’d rather be around the guy that can actually send me back.”

Just as I said that, my stomach rumbled. As soon as this happened, Jarvis said, “Alert, I am sensing increased activity in your abdominal area otherwise known as, hunger. Am I correct, Sir?”

“Um, yeah.” I said. “Man, I’m glad Athena doesn’t do that. Creepy.”

“Well then, I will have to direct you to the dining room. I may be an AI system, but I am still a butler.” Jarvis said in a calm voice. “I sent hundreds of nanobots out to go shopping and they should be back. I am even getting reports of an old griffin that sold us meat. The way there is through the eighteenth tunnel on your left” Jarvis said. “I will now prepare lunch.”

“Okay.” I said, following Jarvis’ directions. “So, what’s for lunch?”

“Meat lover’s deep dish pizza with a side of cider and a bushel of grapes.” said Jarvis.

“Alright then. I’m more of a normal pepperoni man, but hey, I’m not gonna shun free food.” I said.

“How about I give you a slice of each?” said Jarvis. “After all, you are the guest and I am the butler. Too bad that the host is too busy amassing an army of construction drones.”

“Yeah, too bad.” I said. “Hey wait, can’t you take over his armor and kinda force him to come over here?”

“NEVER!” Jarvis said in a mad voice. “I would never do that unless if his life was in danger or he ordered autopilot. Forceful takeover is against nearly every single code in my command.”

“Alright, sheesh.” I said. “Sorry I suggested it. How about you open a link to him instead so I can talk with him.”

“I apologise for my outburst earlier, I will open a chat to Jacob” he said in a slightly apologetic voice before a hologram popped up out of nowhere and then showed Iron man in the Hulkbuster armor, “Sup” he waved to me.

“Hey Jacob. Want some lunch?” I asked. “I mean, there’s pizza over where I am.”

As I was saying this, a puff of confetti burst over a chair next to me and Iron man was there. “How’s it hanging?”

“How’d you…. Know what, I don’t care.” I said. “I’ve seen plenty of strange shit, and this doesn’t even come close. Hell, this is what I do when I teleport.” I burst into shadowstuff and reappeared in the chair next to Jacob. “Sup.”

“I need an adult.” Iron man said in a childlike voice.

“I am an adult.” I said, immediately laughing like a madman afterwards with Jacob joining in.

The pizza came in and we talked while we ate.

“So, you asked earlier how I got Hyperion tech.” I said. “I told you it was from a displaced Handsome Jack, but let me tell you, he’s nothing like the Borderlands 2 game. He’s honestly one of the better displaced I’ve met so far. In fact, he pretty much just gave me the arm on the fly. I lost it from a Fell Shadow taking my sword and lopping it off. It hurt like hell, let me tell you. But if it wasn’t for Jack, I’d just have my one arm. He even put an AI in it, but that AI turned out to be a lot more advanced than what he intended. Well…. him and F.A.U.S.T. Now that AI has its own body… and is kinda one of my lovers…. who I technically proposed to with a legendary Hyperion Shotgun….. Yeah, when we get back to my world, please don’t tell any of the others that I’m involved with about that. I plan on telling them later, as well as proposing to them, too. So, for now it’s need to know only, so be quiet about it.”

“Don’t worry about that, I’ll keep my mouth shut. Also, damn, the worst I ever had to deal with was a technovore trying to eat my heart out while I was conscious. Speaking of eating hearts, I saw what the species of your world looked like and I can now say this. Furries, eat your hearts out!” He said with a triumphant smile.

“Yeah, about that.” I said. “They weren’t always like that. Thanks to the overgod being only known as the Dungeon Master, they’re anthro now. Also, let me tell you, that whole arm being cut off thing, not even close to my worst. I’ve been impaled, shot by arrows, hell, while Celestia was under the influence of the Fell Shadow that cut off my arm, she killed me. Turned me to stone, then smashed me with a hammer. Took my stuff, too.”

“About that. I got one that can top them all. Ever been to hell? While I was my old self, I was thrust there by a wizard that I pissed off and had to play the devil in a fiddle competition after being tortured. I won in the end and bitch slapped the wizard.” I almost didn’t believe him, but I couldn’t find a tell on his face. Either he had a really good poker face, or he was telling the truth.

“Alright.” I said. “Sounds pretty intense. I mean, sent to hell? Having to play a fiddle contest against the devil? Pretty metal. I don’t know about my version of hell, but I know there’s multiple ones of them. I’m not joking. Since my world is connected to D&D, there’s an entire plane of existence set for hell, and there’s nine in it. There’s also Tartarus, which is probably where you went, but I’m not one to judge. They’re both pretty bad.”

“I can still play if you want me to.”

“I’d like that.” I said. “Hey, maybe I could play with you. I’ve dabbled in bass and cello a bunch…. Well, more like I dabbled in bass and played cello as my main. I’m not one to brag, but I was pretty good…. Then I got sent here. It’s been months since I’ve touched a cello. You wouldn’t happen to have one, would you?”

“One sec,” said Jacob. He pulled out a remote and activated an elevator, and it went up to reveal an entire orchestra of handcrafted instruments. Jacob scratched the back of his head, “I had some free time.”

“Wow, that’s a lot of free time.” I said. “I mean, those look like they were handcrafted by a master. How the hell did you get that much free time? It takes a long time to make an instrument properly, let alone master the craft.”

“I couldn’t sleep one night and I decided that I could use an orchestra to get me to go to sleep. After some trial and error, I made my first violin.” He picked it up and played a short but beautiful melody that almost made me lose myself. He set it down and picked up a thirty piece drum set. He played a simple tune to wake me up and then said, “I made these based off of the schematics that Jarvis had. He then stepped off the drums and picked up a cello that would make Octavia green with envy. “This one, however, is one that I call, il Mio Bambino, or my child. It is fashioned out of timberwolf hearts and has a certain property to it that lets the sound travel for miles before dispersing and never sounds too loud. The rest I crafted in a matter of weeks. I was sleeping like a baby after that.” He then turned to me and thought for a bit. He slowly handed it to me. “It’s yours if you want it.”

“I couldn’t.” I said. “But hey, if you’re giving it away, far be it from me to stop you.” I took the cello from him. “Hey, you have a chair that I can sit and play on?”

Jacob then pulled one of the chairs off the dining room table and then said, “This should do.”

“It does, and I feel stupid now.” I said, taking the chair and sitting down. “Hey, where’s the bow?”

I then saw Jacob chuckle and take out a bow that had a string on it that was still, yellow, and seemed to like my hand’s embrace. “Horsehair, one of the things that can be used to make a nice bowstring. Or in this case, pony hair. In fact, that is Surprise’s mane hair.”

“Ew.” I said. “I mean, not complaining, again, I’ve seen crazy shit, but still, did you at least clean it?”

“Yes, I make sure to sterilize anything that I take that could possibly have agents of disease on it.” Jacob said with an annoyed tone. “Besides, it’s not like I took one of her tail hairs. I am not that disgusting.”

“Sorry for assuming.” I said. “So, any suggestions, or should I just pick?”

“You pick, you are the guest after all.” he said politely.

“All right then, you asked for it.” I said.

I started playing a familiar tune, but slowly but surely, it developed into another song altogether. I still had no idea how when I played, all the other parts just happened to come out as well, but hey, I’m not gonna judge it. I will judge Jacobs face, though. He looked surprised for some reason, but I couldn’t tell why.

“What?” I asked after I finished the song, noticing he had the same look on his face. “What is it?”

“You made shadow clones of yourself while playing. I would like to know how you did that.” said Jacob as he slowly walked over to me.

“I did what?” I asked, genuinely surprised. “What the hell are you talking about? I didn’t do anything.”

“If you think that I am lying, then why don’t you watch this.” Jacob said. “Here, I’ll show you.” As soon as he said this, he stuck his hand out and a security video popped up. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw eight of me playing that song. Jacob then turned around and said, “So, still don’t believe me? I have surveillance nanobots all over this place. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a few on your hoodie or your leather shoes.”

“Get them off. Get them off. GET THEM OFF!” I yelled at Jacob. “I know you want security, but I am NOT willing to have a ton of nanobots on me! Who knows what you’re doing with them?! I mean, I can’t tell if you’re trying to get specks of my stuff or not. Obtaining Hyperion schematics is highly against the rules!”

“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t think of taking Hyperion schematics, if there is one thing that Jack and I can’t stand, it's theaves. The nanobots will leave when I give the order. Nanobots, dismissed!” All of a sudden, one hundred nanobot glowed bright and flew off of me.

“Thanks.” I said. “I’m sorry, it’s just that I’d rather not have Jack mad at me. Trust me, he’s scary when he’s mad. Hell, I was fighting the Warrior, called him up during the fight, and he brought down a giant laser. Got home and was told some things about Luna that I’d rather not repeat right now. Let’s just say the laser was powered by the moon.”

“Ah, the orbital death ray, I tried to get a satellite up there, but Luna kept shooting it down, thinking that someone was trying to blow up the moon.” Jacob said in a nice tone. He then got a shocked look on his face and said, “Shit, the construction drones! They were probably done hours ago.” He then grabbed me and ‘il mio bambino’ and we disappeared into a puff of confetti.

Upon reappearing in the room he first showed me, I immediately coughed up some confetti from the strange teleportation. “WHAT THE FUCK?!” I yelled. “Warn me next time you do that!”

“Sorry.” He said in a sheepish tone. “The drones are ready and we have a house to build.” He turned over to his army. “Let’s move out!” with all of that, we marched straight into the portal.

After about an hour of trying to get back to town, and explaining to Lyra and BonBon what the hell was going on, plus another three hours of building, we were done, and Jacob sent the drones back to his world. Lyra and BonBon had thanked us and gone inside to do…. something, and locked us out, leaving me and my iron suited friend to our own devices.

“So, now that that’s done with….” I said. “Wanna go mess with some ponies?”

“Sure, but I get to blow up Tia’s cake vault.” The fool said as he ran off to Canterlot making a road runner ‘meep meep’ sound.

“He’s gonna get so punched in the face when he learns what happened.” I said.

Off in Canterlot, Luna and Celestia were having a nice day. The court had been called to a close early, and they were just enjoying some tea and cake, when:

An explosion happened on the east side of the building.The guards were all tied up then and the claptraps were chasing a decoy.A tall, red, laughing figure was flying at mach ten, away from the explosion.Bluebelle was bitch slapped

Luna, who had been covered in cake from the explosion, looked to her sister, who was somehow not covered in cake at all.

“Luna, I know you’re mad.” Celestia said.

“Yes, I am Tia.” Luna said. “What about it?”

“I am giving you my blessing to go and smack the one who did it.” Celestia said.

“Who said I needed your blessing?” Luna said, spreading her wings and taking off.

“And there goes Luna…..” I said. “OH! That’s gotta hurt.”

Let me explain what I just saw, Luna just sent Iron Man flying into the ground…. The ground in front of me….

“You okay, Jacob?” I asked. “You took one mighty tumble there. I should have warned you about who the actual ruler was here and what happens when you mess with her.”

“First off, ya think? Next, I am going to make my armor one that can stand up to Luna, but I need the go to from you, seeing how this is your world.” Iron man said in a simple tone.

“Yeah, no.” I said. “No, I’m not putting my Lulu at risk. She means a bit too much to me. Plus, I’m pretty sure with all the differences between the worlds, you wouldn’t be getting good data.”

“I was talking about using the endosymbiotic armor. It has the ability to stand up to Luna because it absorbs both electromagnetic and magic fields. It wouldn’t physically harm her. What kind of Luna fan would I be if Luna got hurt.” He then got punched in the face.

“That will teach thou to blow up our cake!” Luna screamed in anger.

“Luna, calm down.” I said. “You slipped back into the royal we.”

“But he blew up our cake!” Luna screamed. “All of it got into our-er, my mane!”

“It’s okay Luna.” I said. “He’ll make it up to you. Right, Jacob?”

“I can’t feel my anything and for the record Luna, I was simply getting revenge on Celestia. I didn’t mean to get you in the crossfire.” Said Iron Man in a pained, yet defencive voice.

Luna simply flipped him the double bird, and shot out lasers at him, hitting him where his nips would be.

“Luna! What did I just say?!” I yelled at the Princess of the Moon. “Now, I want you to apologize, or no snu snu for you!”

Luna’s face turned into one of shock before she ran over to Jacob and picked him up back onto his feet.

“I’m sorry!” Luna said eagerly. “I’m so sorry!”

“Nah, It’s cool. I’ll just need to go to a hospital.” As soon as he said this, he coughed up blood. “Mom? Is that you? I want my money back.” After he said this, he fainted.

“Great. Just great.” I said. “See what you did Luna? Now he’s in such a state that we can’t heal him fast enough. Lucky for you, I have really good spells.”

I turned back to Jacob, who was passed out on the floor, leaking blood from his armor. I put my hands out and focused on the spell that I meant to cast. When I was done, the blood was gone, Jacob was awake, and his armor was fixed….. Sadly, I was not. Immediately after fixing Jacob, I turned my head away and coughed up some rainbow blood, which dissolved into nothing upon touching the ground.

“Man I hate having to do that!” I said.

Jacob turned to look at me and summoned a portal, “Jarvis!” he shouted, “Summon the medical bots, I have a debt to pay.” The minute he said this, three robots came out. They looked like the animaniacs. The tall one had a medigun while the female one had a nurse outfit, and the third one was in a dog suit, for what reason I don’t know. The tall one pointed a medigun at me and fired. I stood up feeling as good as new.

“Wow, pretty good healing, doc.” I said. “Thanks.”

At that moment, a pony with a short cut mane and tail and wearing glasses, a labcoat, and a backpack came running by yelling ‘Octoberfest’ before running away. I could have sworn he had a red cross in a circle on his labcoat and backpack.

The Wacko like one turned to me and said, “Good night everybody.” Then I got a lolly pop from the Dot looking one.

“Um, thanks?” I said. I turned to Jacob. “Did you just see the Medic pony running by, or am I crazy?”

“Perhaps TF2 is canon?” said Jacob.

“I don’t even know.” I said. “I don’t even know.”

“Wait a second, that was the doctor that Ponyville Hospital reported about!” Luna said. She ran off after him yelling, “GET BACK HERE YOU SCOUNDREL!” And with that, she was gone.

“Well, now that we’re alone again, let’s go have some fun.” I said. “Unless you’d rather just go.”

“Actually, I felt good when I summoned the Animedicacs or gave you the cello. Perhaps there is still some good that I can still do.” Jacob said in a surprisingly mature voice.

“So, is that a yes to messing with ponies?” I asked. “I mean, I have just about nothing else to do, so yeah.”

“Do you have any abilities that you need help with.” Jacob said.

“Well, my magnetism could use some work.” I said.

“I got it, instead of using magnetism to affect things on a bigger scale, try to magnetise the nueons that are around each electron and focus the energy in one direction. Then you can make a natural concussive blast. Try it.” He said with determination.

“A concussive blast, eh?” I said. “Can we take this out to somewhere that’s less inhabited?”

“Sure, I would recommend Everfree. Just a warning, I am going to teleport us.” As he said this, he grabbed my shoulder and teleported. I was prepared this time, as I had my hand over my mouth. When we got to the Everfree, I focused too hard on the atoms that I messed up. Jacob then cleared his throat and said, “Clear your mind, young one.”

“Hey, no Star Wars on me, man.” I said. “You’re talking to the king of nerds back on my Earth.”

“Well King Nerd, meet Emperor Geek.” he said,

“Yeah, yeah.” I said. I focused and tried to feel around for the atoms in front of me. I eventually found a feel for one and tried to send it towards a tree. What resulted was essentially a big Hadoken.

After seeing my decent blast, Jacob got up and did a kamehameha on thirty feet of trees and it led a path to Bubbles playing with the CMC. “Try meditation, it tends to work better with a sharper mind. Although that is a nice start. You can also make an EMP wave.”

“Nice. But what the hell is up with everyone being able to do a Kamehameha?!” I said. “Seriously, first Kat, now you! And the meditating thing sounds like my first teacher!”

He couldn’t help but chuckle, “I think that all of us learned from experience. That and the fact that I got that from the smile HD powerboost.”

“Smile HD powerboost… WHAT?!” I yelled.

“Long story.” said Jacob as I was panicking.

“No no no.” I said. “You’re telling me. I want to know about this shit, ‘cause as far as I know right now, you could go crazy and try and kill everyone.”

He noticed my fear and sighed. “Fine, I’ll first have to explain what gives a party person his/ her power. The party person’s power and nonsensical abilities come from joy, laughter, cheer, and anger, don’t ask. When a party person is too low on these emotions, they become fragile and easily hurt, thus they go into a protective mentality, Pinkamena for Pinkie, Shock Value for Surprise, and, as you saw for a short time, Mr. Hyde for me. These personas are aggressive, mean, but caring at heart. On the opposite end of the equation, we have High Domain mode, or HD for short. This happens when we make over a hundred people happy and can be unleashed at will. And before you ask, no, it will not make anyone murder crazy. That video was just that, a video. Just think of HD mode as Super Saiyan 2. The only reason that I would kill anyone would be if there was no other solution.”

“Wow. Okay then.” I said. “So that’s pretty interesting. Not sure if I want to see that though, but lets go have some fun.”

“Well, I used to be a performer, want to see that?” Jacob said.

“Why not.” I said.

“Awesome. You seem to be well liked around here, so I want you to go get an audience. Just be sure not to tell them anything about it and to keep the seniors and infants home. Wouldn’t want to damage them. I’ll go get my drones and build a stage, and get some musical drones for the drums and what not.” Jacob was almost ecstatic at this.

“Right, I’ll meet you back by the town hall.” I said, setting off to go find an audience.

About an hour later of running through Ponyville and gathering an audience, I was at town hall, where a stage had been erected. How did I acquire the audience, you ask? I went running around screaming like a complete moron. For some reason, everyone decided, ‘Hey, let’s go check out what our hero is running around and screaming about’ and followed me here.

“AAAAAAAAaaaaaaah…. We’re here!” I shouted to the ponies who had followed me.

The stage lights turned on and everyone got in their seats or spots on the floor. As soon as that happened, the curtains opened up to reveal Iron Man and three drones in suits. Iron Man was on the guitar, while two of the other drones were on drums and backup vocals. The final drone looked to be a backup vocalist, but it also held a bass guitar.

Now, if there’s anything I can’t stand for, it’s robots playing music. I could deal with it for this one time, but there’s no way in hell I’m letting a drone play bass. I walked up on stage, yelled at the drone to get off, rejected the bass it tried to give me, and pulled out my own from nowhere.

“So, uh, what are we playing?” I asked, plugging in my bass and checking the level. “Looks like a band set up. Which song?”

“I figured that these ponies like Celestia, then ‘Here comes the Sun’ by the Beatles would be a good choice.” After he said this, he started to play a small rift on the guitar, which he then started to sing. As he did this, both the backup drone and I started to make do do do sounds. After about twenty seconds of this, Jacob started to sing.

“Here comes the sun, do do do.

Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright.”

A light drumbeat started to play and so did I, and that seemed to get the audience’s attention.

“Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter.

Little darling, it seems like it has been years since I have been here.

Here comes the sun, do do do.

Here comes the sun, it's alright.

Little darling, the smiles are returning to the faces.

Little darling, it seems like it has been years since I have been here.

Here comes the sun,

Here comes the sun,

And I say it’s all right.

Sun sun sun, here it comes

Sun sun sun, here it comes

Sun sun sun, here it comes!”

The chorus then began.

Sun sun sun, here it comes!

Sun sun sun, here it comes!

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting

Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been clear

Here comes the sun, do do do.

Here comes the sun, and I say, It’s all right.

Here comes the sun, do do do.

Here comes the sun!

It’s all right

It’s all right!

The song then ended with a guitar riff and a pleased audience.

“That was pretty fun.” I said. “But uh, how is it messing with ponies?”

“Just wait for it.” As he said this, a giant, sun shaped hot air balloon came over the audience and rained down a bunch of sun shaped cream pies. I was wondering how the fuck he stuck that over here, while Jacob was laughing his ass off. He then turned towards the ponies. “I warned you!”

“Dude, that is hilarious, but I’m pretty sure you’re gonna wanna go home before they kill you.” I said.

“Don’t worry. They seem to like the pies.” He then pulled out a pie. “Want one?”

“No thanks.” I said. “Hey, is that Luna over there?” I waved off to the dark blue figure over in the back of the audience, and sure enough, it was Luna. I waved for her to come up to the stage.

“The scoundrel got away.” Luna said as she approached. “He has yet to live another day out in the normal world, shouting about beer and calling himself a god.”

“Wow. Sounds like a crazy medic I knew about.” I said.

“Hey don’t blame Dr. Wacko, it is just a name.” said Jacob.

“I am not talking about your machine.” Luna said. “I’m talking about the stallion that ran by while your machine was healing Dox. He stole a patient’s skeleton.”

“Why not enlist him in the guard? Wait Luna, before you kill me or insult my intelligence, I have an idea. He will do anything not to go to jail, and will just love to mess with ponies body parts. Why not put him on the front lines. If he dies, then you don’t lose anything and if he doesn't then he will be an asset. Perhaps you could put him with other members of a rouge’s gallery.” said Jacob with a wise look.

“He’s insane.” Luna said. “That’s the reason why. I’ve thought about enlisting him before this whole mess, but he’s since gone insane. He was a good medic already, then he stole a skeleton. I had heard about his breakthroughs in healing, how he made someone invincible for a short time, how he was able to do a complete heart transplant while a patient was conscious. The second he stole a skeleton, he went insane, though. My only intent right now is to lock him up and get him some help.”

“Have you tried to appeal to his demented side. It might make you able to see why he did what he did, and get him to calm down.” Said Jacob.

“Trust me, I’ve tried.” Luna said.

“Then why did he do it.” Said Jacob.

“Like I said, he went insane.” Luna said. “He just ‘felt like it’.”

“Listen, Jacob, I don’t think you’re gonna get anywhere with this.” I said. “That guy is crazy, and has been running around even before I got here. We’re not gonna get to stop him.”

“Fine, I might know where he is.” confessed Jacob.

“Wait what?” Luna and I said simultaneously.

“He is backstage, tied up with a beer bottle shoved in his mouth. He tried to attack me, saying that I stole the schematics for his Medigun.” Said Jacob.

“Wow. He is a nut.” I said. “Thanks Jacob.”

“Finally I can bring this crackjob in.” Luna said with a sigh. “I thank you, ironclad being. I shall now take him to the insane asylum in Canterlot, where he will get good treatment.” And with that, she took off for back stage.

“Again, thanks man.” I said. “Today’s been pretty fun with you.”

“Indeed it has.” said Iron Man as he laid down. When he did this, the audience that I summoned was running to us saying “Encore! Encore! Encore!”

Iron Man then said, “You want to run or do as they say. I’m up for both.”

“Let’s give them what they want.” I said. “But, uh, we’re gonna need a different instrumentation. Like, we’re gonna need a band. How good are you with a trumpet?”

In response to my question, Jacob pulled out a trumpet and took off his helmet before saying, “Let’s do this.” Immediately afterwards, a bunch of drones showed up with instruments. It was like my high school jazz band all over again. Good times.

“Alright then.” I said confidently. “One, two. One, two, three, FOUR!”

After a while of playing, and I don’t just mean the two songs, the audience finally started going home.

“Wow, I haven’t done a performance like that since….” I said. “Well, since before I came here. That was a ton of fun. Thanks Jacob.”

“I live to make people smile. Speaking of smiles, any ideas on how to not get destroyed by Celestia when we meet.” said Iron Man.

“Yeah, try to have something that counters magic.” I said. “And possibly expect a war hammer. I don’t know. Mine had one, some others do, too. I’m not entirely sure what to expect, except for the magic.”

“Mine had a giant, anime style, sword that shot fire. I’ll see what I can do. Perhaps I could befriend the current elements of harmony and have the moral high ground in the face off.”

“That’d probably be your best bet.” I said. “So, you ready to go home?”

“Sure, I am. Be sure to call me if you need me, I am just a universe away.” He opened a portal up and had the music drones march back inside. He gave me a salute and walked inside. Before he did so, he said, “Tell DM that I said hi.” This left me with a what the fuck face.

“How the hell did he know about him?” I said.

This was a crossover with Ink Sword and his story, Buck You, I'm Iron Man.

That's the chapter, and I'm out. Peace!
