“You want us to build what?” The shipwright asked. I was in one of the many airship construction berths in Canterlot, trying to find someone willing to take on my challenge. It was about two weeks after Zinnia’s visit and I was moving on with my plans for being a superpower instead of just a peacekeeper.

“I want you to build an airship out of metal, preferably a light one like aluminum or barite,” I said, trying to keep my calm. “There are ways to combine it with stronger metals without making it heavier.”

“Well true, but you’re talking about researching somethin’ that’s... frankly, beyond current technology,” he said, leading me through to his office.

“Indeed. I know that it might be impossible for-”

“Now hold on just a minute, I didn’t say anythin’ about it being impossible. In fact, any other shipwright you go to would say that on principle alone.”

I raised an eyebrow and said, “And what sets you apart from the rest?”

“Well, when I got my Cutie Mark I was drawing plans for a metal-hulled airship. Just the hull mind you, but I ran the numbers and even made a small model.” he pointed to a jar on the wall that held a miniature airship in it that had what looked to be aluminum coating the outside. “Put it in there after it almost got destroyed by my sister’s dog.”

“You believe that it is possible then?”

“Believe it? Hay, give me five months and I’ll have a prototype. A year, I’ll build one bigger than any other shipwright has ever dreamed of!”

“I’ll hold you to that. Show me the prototype and I’ll see to it that your berth becomes the largest one to date,” I said as I turned to leave only to narrowly miss being hit by something. I looked down where it landed and saw an iron skull the size of an apple.

“.... What?”

“Don’t ask. I’m just thankful I didn’t get hit by it,” I said as I leaned down to pick it up. Once I touched it I heard, “My name is Edward Kenway, I am an assassin, a pirate and other stuff I would gladly help you if you are sitting in a tight spot or just want to talk or have a drink, I also have some minor chaos powers from Discord my buddy and call me when ever…”

“Huh. Kinda fitting I’d find this here,” I said as I put the token into my bag.

Later that day I was taking a shower when I heard someone say, “So Max can you come for a sec… ok got to stay calm but this is so awesome, my first non accidental summon of another Displaced.”

“.... Shit,” I said as my portal opened under me. I hurriedly turned the water off as I sunk into the portal and came out on a road leading away from Canterlot. In front of me was a man with his back to me, but when he turned around I saw that he was none other than Edward Kenway.

“Ok wow this is why my powers made my token non useable while in bath or having sex.” he said, obviously checking me out.

I sighed and said, “It’s a good thing I was done washing.” My hand glowed with a yellow-ish aura and a towel popped into existence around me. “Also a good thing I have magic.”

“Yes quite, and if you have my token which you perhaps or perhaps don’t have I have a little chaos powers,” he said as he snapped with his fingers and a pair of aviators appeared. He grabbed them out of the air and slipped them on. “which I actually didn’t get by default.”

“Well, I didn’t have magic until.... I’d rather not say, but I am the current ruler of my Equestria,” I said, popping another towel into existence and drying my hair.

“Ok I have a question, did you take over by force or did you get it given, and you don’t have to tell if you don’t want to,” he said as he lifted his hands.

I wrapped my hair in the second towel and crossed my arms, sadness filling my eyes. “I was given it by Celestia and Luna. They... were dying because a pegasus stabbed them with a cursed dagger.”

“Oh… you know, I once was a friend of the princesses… but at one point I couldn’t take more of being stuck in a castle so I got my weapons back or… stole them back I should say, after that I stole a prisoner ship by killing the guards and freeing the prisoners, at first they wanted to throw me overboard but when they conspired I threw the leader overboard and by that killed all plots against me,” he said and sighed. “Ok that was good getting off my shoulders.”

“Well... to each his own I guess,” I said with a shrug. “Anyways, you going somewhere in particular?”

“Well not yet, but I have plans of going out east and making a small house out there and after that keep my promise.” he said and looked out in the distance.

“I’d suggest stopping at Ponyville real quick on the way. Might find a few ponies to join your crew, might be able to take out the only thing that can turn you to stone easily.”

“You know, that promise is to another Displaced named Folteren who actually got me out of stone and it involves adopting Scootaloo so I have that’s two things taken care of, the elements and the promise.”

“I’d hate to keep you waiting then,” I said, stretching and ‘accidentally’ letting the towel around me fall. “I’ve seen about twenty couples in my universe that just left their foal out on the street. And that’s the kind ones.”

“You are probably right.” he said. “You know, you should probably get that towel up again before anyone sees because that would be embarrassing, oh wait I already did, meh nothing special I’ve seen naked women before.” he said as he realized his mistake.

I tilted my head in confusion, looking between my body and him. “Why should I be embarrassed?”

“Oh it’s just that most women are embarrassed by men seeing them naked, I mean by men who isn’t with them on an intimate level.” he said as he scratched the back of my head.

I giggled and gave him a saucy expression. “You could find out how... intimate I can get.”

He lifted an eyebrow, “Ok how many have you fucked?, this also counts in other girls.”

“Well, there’s Celestia, Gilgamesh, Kat, Lance, Zinnia, and about half the royal guard. Just to name a few,” I said with a proud smirk.

He gave me his best ‘what the fuck’ face, “Are you serious? wait, ok you are serious… wow that is quite the record.” he said and gave a little applause.

“Yep! And I get to teach what I know to Lance.” I bent down and picked up my towel, wrapping it around me again.

“So now to the Displaced questions, who do you know other than the ones you told me you fucked?” he asked actually curious about who I met.

“Typhon, Medulla -- he’s a Mewtwo--, Pecilla, Flynn, and Luke. The last three are all in the same universe. Oh and Amaterasu and Chibiterasu.”

“Ok the only other Displaced I know is Folteren and he is literally evil like evil evil but he got me out of stone and he is nice to other Displaced… oh and he hates being called Folty.” he said with a smile, “And someone actually got Displaced as a Pokemon?”

“Zinnia’s actually half-pokemon herself, and Lance has a Blaziken apparently.” I snapped my fingers and the towels disappeared in a flash, only to be replaced with the usual outfit from the game.

“Ok interesting, and that outfit so much LIS right there or Life is Strange as it actually is called.” he said as he walked around me and looking at the outfit. “Oh and I should probably get a new outfit this one is a little dusty.”

“You might want to visit the Bearer of Generosity first then. She’s a seamstress and there’s a chance she’ll give you an outfit.” I dug in my bag and pulled out my token case. “You want any tokens? The Merchant gave me one of every token there is and then gave me all of them again for some odd reason.”

“Actually while I was looking a bit into Folteren’s universe I found that he knows Freddy, Golden Freddy, so I actually want to talk to him at one point so do you have that one?” he asked looking hopeful. “And I don’t need a new outfit I can just do this.” He snapped his fingers and… nothing, “Oh come on! Magical burn out on chaos magic!? seriously!?”

“Yeah, I have his.” I tossed him a coin and a necklace with a black scythe on it. “The other one’s for a Displaced Venom, haven’t called him yet but Kat visited him.”

“Thanks and I just figured out that the headache of using your magic too much gets bigger the more I try to use chaos powers while on burnout.” He said with his hands making circles on his temples. “And I am not an infinite source like Discord, which is why I can burnout.”

“I can help with that,” I said, holding up my right hand.

I pulled the equations into view and rummaged through the ones denoting Edward, messing around with the ones attached to his chaos. I wasn’t able to change the time it took for him to recharge outright, and had to settle with messing with the other numbers. Once I was done I crossed my arms and said, “I could only shorten the time it takes for your chaos to recharge by three hours. You shouldn’t try using it until tomorrow, though.”

“Thanks at least the headache is going away slightly, so now it’s less painful and more of an annoyance.” he said shaking his head a bit to clear it out. “Oh and I should probably do something for you now, no?”

“Nah, so far most of the Displaced I’ve met have helped me with something and I haven’t been able to help them. But you could send me back, it’s almost time to feed Golden and Light.”

“The least I can do is give you something so here is one of my pistols, my favorite mind you and it has two cylinders and is quite effective, I engraved it myself and it never failed me and now I think you should have it. If you don’t take it I will take offence.” He said, trying to sound threatening.

I rubbed the back of my head, trying to decide whether or not he was serious. Finally I shook my head and said, “I already have a submachine gun, a shotgun, a sniper rifle, and a pistol. I don’t need anymore guns, but I am lacking a melee weapon.”

He chuckled a bit, “Ha did you really think I would give you this, sorry but yes I wouldn’t no matter what, so melee? hidden or non hidden?” he asked very seriously.

“Hidden so I can take care of assassins if they get past my guards. No offence meant.”

“None taken since I am more of a pirate than an assassin I would say, so a hidden blade or bigger?”

“I think just the hidden blade would be enough. Though I’d rather have something that’s longer and more collapsable,” I said as I floated up a little. “I’m getting a bit restless, could we walk and talk?”

“Sure thing.” he said as he began walking, “So a hidden sword and blade?”

“Yeah, I’m gonna need a last line of defense if I want to continue with my plans. I even plan on modding my guns so they hold one more bullet than normal.”

“Ok I don’t specialize in guns other than ones like the ones I have but I can give ya the hidden blade and sword now… if I can find them in my backpack.” he said as he pulled his backpack out and looked through it, “Ah here they are a hidden blade and sword… do you want two hidden blades?”

I thought for a moment, then said, “Well, you can never be too paranoid. I’ll have two of them then.”

“Alright comin’ right up!” He said as he pulled out what looked like a stick the size of my forearm and a wooden box, “Ok the sword is the stick and it has leather straps to put it on your arm.” He demonstrated by strapping it to my arm and flicking it so that it flew forward and into my hand while still being connected to my forearm, “Now do you know how to put on a hidden blade?”

“Sadly, no. But I could probably figure out how if it’s just a few straps that you have to tighten.”

“Well it’s just like the sword just different mechanisms.”

“Okay then, I can figure out how they work-” I paused as I noticed I was floating and let myself down to the ground. “Dammit, I need to stop doing that.”

“Doing what exactly?” he asked.

“Not walking. I’m gonna turn into a blob of fat if I float around for too long and I don’t want to lose my figure.”

“Oh well you do have a nice figure and I would hate for it to be ruined… but I guess this is finally the end of this meeting and don’t be afraid of calling me for anything because I am quite ok with you summoning me.” he said.

“Okay, see ya later then.”

“I guess, well see ya some time soon, *clears throat* Our contract is complete Max.” he said with a smile, “And remember I am always there just a summon away… wow that sounded a lot less cheesy in my head.”

“Don’t break too many hearts,” I said as my portal opened under me and I fell in.

“Commander? Are you alright?” Sol asked from outside the bathroom door.

I was currently puking my guts out into the toilet in my room the same as the last time I woke up. And the time before that and the time before that....

Once my stomach had calmed enough I continued my evening and stepped out of the bathroom an hour later saying, “That’s it, I’m getting to the bottom of this. Tell Quill I’m actually cancelling court for tonight because of my stomach.”

Sol was quiet for a moment then said, “Mun has apprised her of the situation.”

“Good, you and Mun stay and watch the foals while I go to the medical wing,” I said as I strapped on the blades Edward gave me five weeks ago that had been painted to match my raiment. I stepped out of my room a few minutes later wearing nothing but the regalia that had been made for me, a sheer body wrap, and my bag.

It wasn’t the most covering outfit I had, but it covered the parts that mattered well enough and.... Well, I didn’t mind too much if I was the center of fantasies.

The walk through the halls was as uneventful as always -- though I liked that it was a bit chillier and kept my nipples hard. Once I arrived at the medical wing I pushed one of the doors open and called for a doctor.

“Yes, Grandmother?” Home Remedy said from beside me.

“I’ve been throwing up for the past two weeks and I would like to know why and how it can be stopped,” I said as he led me to a bed.

“Have you been eating healthy?”

“Yes, but for some reason I’m gaining weight even though I haven’t changed anything about my diet. I am still getting in exercise, so you can’t blame the weight gain on that.” He wrote something down on his clipboard.

“I see.... Would I be able to-”

“I don’t care as long as I stop throwing up,” I interrupted.

“Very well then,” he said, lighting up his horn. A strangely familiar beam travelled up and down my body once and Home smiled. “Well, Grandmother, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is there is nothing I can do or prescribe you to get rid of your evening sickness.”

“And the good news?” I asked, a bit peeved that I would have to suffer through the nausea.

“You’re pregnant with a healthy boy.”

“W-what?” I said, my mind going into overdrive. I haven’t had any mares cum in me in the past few months and stallions wouldn’t be able to get me pregnant without a specialized spell anyone with a horn -- or in my case the powers of the sun and moon -- would be able to sniff out. Zinnia isn’t a candidate because she isn’t a pony and the spell specifically states that one of the partners must be a pony. Gilgamesh is out because he was careful not to cum in me at all-.... That just leaves....

I dumped my bag onto the bed and fumbled through the clips and film for my token pouch, dumping that onto the floor and looking through it. “H-his token isn’t here!? W-where is-” I facepalmed and then reached up into my hair, pulling out the silver wings that were Lance’s token.

“L-Lance, something huge just ca-came up and I n-need you here!”

A bolt of lightning soon went off in the room, revealing the Azure Striker in his full attire. “Max? Is something wrong?” He asked. “Are you hurt-?”

“N-not exactly.... I’ve been throwing up for the past two weeks and just found out why,” I said, not fully understanding why I was nervous.

“I’ll leave the two of you to work this out,” Home said as he walked towards a guard that had a sprained ankle.

“Maxie? What’s wrong? You can tell me anything, you know that right?”

“W-well, you know what happened after the party?”

Lance nodded his head, recalling everything that happened. “Yeah, I stayed with you through the day.”

I looked down and muttered, “Let’s just say you weren’t shooting blanks....”

“But I wasn’t using my-. Oh… Oh my god… A-are you-?”

I nodded and felt him sit on the bed next to me. “I-I have had children before, and I’m not scared. J-just worried what you’ll do, I think.”

The Azure Striker took a few moments to think things through. But then, he came up with a decision. One that took me by surprise and filled me with joy. “I’ll stay with you. No matter what you choose, I’ll always support you.” He then reached over and caressed me in a warm hug to comfort me. “We should be proud… We’re going to be parents.”

My smile faded a bit as I recalled a big detail. “We live in different universes though. How’ll we be able to support each other without waiting for the summon to go through? I don’t want our son growing up without two parents like my fillies are.”

“No one said that we had to be apart.” Lance told me. “What if we were able to combine our worlds together?”

“That would leave us with two of everyone except us....”

“What if we had a gateway between your world and mine? That way, our worlds are connected. I can talk to my Twilight about it and have you come with me to explain everything. Plus…… I think there’s one other thing we should be ready for.” The Adept said as he got something out of his coat pocket. It was a beautiful gem that he asked Radiance to cut for him. Now in the golden clutches of a grip that made it a ring.

I stared at it in confusion for a second before realizing what it meant. “R-really? You fuck a girl once and bring marriage in? Lancie, as far as I’m concerned, we’re already together.”

“I’m an idiot, what can I say. Plus… I thought we should make it official.” He said as he slipped the ring onto my ring finger. “Do you like it?”

“Yes, but... we don’t know all that much about each other. I mean, you don’t know how old I am, do you?”

“We have time… So why don’t we start now?” He chuckled. “Plus, I don’t care how old you are. You’re always still beautiful to me.” Lance then pulled out a small circular device and pressed the button in the center. It showed a few holograms of places and ponies as he told me about the individuals he met and the worlds he went to.

“Wait, you’re how old!?!?”

Author's Notes:

This Edward is from Kris664's story An Assassin...? In Equestria?!

Yeap, that just happened. Max and Lance will be the first Displaced pair to get hitched!
