Duncan’s day started out like any other in ponyville, slow and sleepy. It was part of the small town charm, and that was something he was beginning to get use to. Morning muster went by same as always, cleaning quarters the same. It wasn’t till about mid morning when things went completely wrong. There was some light panicking, a few flashes of magic. Then the entire town was covered in a fish bowl with thunderstorms blotting out the sun.

“Um Petty Officer Steel, think we should do something?” Duncan asked as everypony looked up from the combat drills. It was only a few days in but he was starting to get the hang of pony combat. He had made a point not to use the Sword card, so he could improve himself.

“We certainly will.” Steel Will turned to the team preparing a mass teleport spell to the city center. Only to be stopped by a dark shadow and a large chunk of stone smashing into the training arena.

“What the hell was that?” Twisted Spear called out, only to be taken by surprise as, chunk of stone was ripped out from the ground and tossed at them, encased in a dark shadow. This time it almost crushing Spear Head under it, if not for his well honed military reflexes.

“Spear Head, start casting, gather some intel, we need to know who is doing this.” Steel called out, leading the team, they quickly fanned out covering the area. An invisible force continued to rip chunks of stone out of the ground and tossed them at all of the ponies.

"It's another of those cards, only its magic level is incredible, more than that time card. Twisted your left two meters!" Spear Head called out using magic to track the invisible force. Twisted spun in place, tripping on her new tail, the uncoordinated act saving her from getting hit in the face by another bolder.

"I think this is the Power card, it likes to prove that it's the most powerful creature. If we call it out on a strength test it should turn into a form we can fight!" Duncan called out spotting from behind a near by building.

"What like a game of tug of war?" Asked Snow Drop as she dodged more thrown rocks, managing to get some of the card's attention.

"Ya, that worked last time," Although Lee used Time last time, not sure I'll have the chance Duncan ran from behind his cover, calling out as he went, " Hey! Power! We challenge you to a contest of strength, Tug of War!"

The rocks stopped being thrown as Power began to condense into a single area. It took the form of a small pink girl with a pink fighting outfit. Everything Duncan was expecting except for the swirling black miasma floating around it. The cards face, normally cheery and cute, was contorted in a sinister smile, eyes wide with malice and fear.

"Uh oh.." Duncan managed to stammer out before getting punched in the gut by a surprise attack. The blow knocked the wind out of him sending him flying into some bushes. The rest of the team attacked, with well timed and practiced strikes they began peppering the card with damage. However spears were blunted and hooves turned away by the sheer power of the card.

Mistress was in the mean time running from building to building keeping an eye on a blue unicorn. Mistress was still in her Tinker Bell form. He spotted the unicorn take out Twilight in a magic duel while running though the market.

I remember there was a Displaced who helped her. I just can't seem to remember who it was, Jeff what tokens do we have? He kept his head down as the blue mare created a cart and forced two young unicorns to pull it for her.

Avarice's brazer, Dox's dice, Vinyl's headphones, Star Swirl's bell, you have the gloves from Gilgamesh, the medallion from Twilight and... Jeff was cut off as Mistress began laughing.

Meanwhile, Duncan managed to recover while lying in the bush, turning his head he inspected the strange object lying there. They appeared to be a pair of gauntlets, placing a hand on them he heard "I am the warrior, the master of weapons, the seeker of battle and adventure. To those who would require my strength to defeat thy foes, to crush opposing forces, put on these Genji Gloves and call out my name with the intent to summon me. If ye be without true malice in thy hearts, know that the mighty Gilgamesh will come to thy aid!”

He suddenly had the largest of smiles despite the pain he was in. He quickly placed the gloves on and called out across the void, " Warrior of Epicness, I need your help please, we have Karaoke!"

Meanwhile Mistress was channeling at the same time," Gilgy, I could you some help and would like to hang out again."

Mistress had a second to look up before a tall blue humanoid got the drop on him knocking him out, leaving Jeff to drag her body out of the way. Jeff noticed as the blue figure jumped away it was covered in a dark miasma.

Meanwhile near the group battling power a portal opened up just above them, the sound of reality ripping catching their attention. A moment later a titanic figure dropped out, everyone jumping away to give it room to land, before it crashed into the ground. The figure stood tall and intimidating, and for a moment, all was silent.

“Hello! I am Lindsay Lohan!” the figure called, taking a cutesy pose that looked completely at odds with his tall muscular and armored figure. Just after that a lion-sized wolf jumped onto his head, balancing on it with one foreleg.
Duncan was both incredibly amused, and feeling a touch slighted, pulling himself up from the bush he made his way to the imposing figure.

“Gilgamesh, sir, great to meet you, and your…” about to comment on the wolf, he managed to dodge out of the way as a boulder thrown by the Power Card sailed past him, “Name’s Duncan, that is the Power Card from Cardcaptors, and I think there is something wrong with her.”

His gift for understatements shining through as Boom De-yada was sent flying between them landing in a heap on the shattered remains of a cart. “That hurt you freaking jerk!”

“Wow, a Clow Card. Damn it’s been so long since I’ve seen one of those. And here comes the Nostalgia for Toonami,” Gilgamesh sighed. “Anyway, sounds like you know me. Curious, but I’ll get to that later, Enkidu, help the nice pony out, will ya?” he ordered. The dog jumped off his head and actually saluted before running off to pull Boom De-yada out of the pile. He then turned towards The Power. “Ok little girly, I don’t know what’s up with the freaky shadow stuff, but I’m gonna have to ask you to stop beating up on the nice ponies and surrender nice and-”

The Power cut him off by sprinting forwards and punching him right between the legs, causing the collective audience to wince. Amazingly, Gilgamesh was not sent flying, but certainly looked to be in pain. For a moment, there was no sound or motion, until the stillness was broken by Gilgamesh. He quickly grabbed The Power by the head, making use of his height advantage, and picked her off the ground before slamming her face into his knee. He then picked her up again, grabbing her by her legs with his other hand, before smashing her back into his leg. Once again he lifted her up, slamming her back into his shoulders, before holding her by the leg and repeatedly slamming her into the ground. After a few seconds of that he threw her up into the air before kicking her with a roundhouse kick to the chest, sending her flying into building, causing it to practically explode from the force.

“Mother. Fucking. Ow,” Gilgamesh cursed, his voice dripping with venom.

"You ok?" Duncan approached the warrior. "I don't think I have read you getting that mad.."

Duncan was then cut off as he got sucker punched in the side of the face by a blue figure, sending him flying, thankfully Snow Drop was able to catch him. He lay there dazed for a moment before noticing what had hit him.

The figure was a tall girl with pigtails entirely blue, wearing blue fighting robes, black shadows pulsed from her being. She stood in a standard fighting stance with her hands before her, preparing to charge after Duncan. He quickly called out the information he had on hand, "Thats the fight card, her punches weren't this strong before and she has the same aura, look out."

He shoved Snow Drop out of the way as the Fight card delivered a roundhouse kick to his face. Power returned to the field flying straight at Duncan.

Just then Gilgamesh grabbed Power and slammed her into Fight, sending them both tumbling. “Sorry girls, but your fight is with me.” He then turned to Duncan. “And to answer your question before about my anger, any fighter willing to attack a male’s fun sack should be prepared to face the consequences,” he explained before turning back to face his rising opponents. “Hm, physical embodiments of strength and combat. How fitting. In honor of that, I think I’ll try and keep this fair,” he announced smugly before removing his helmet as well as his torso armor, revealing his square-jawed face, golden hair and beard, and impressive muscular build.

Just like with Avarice many of the mares stared, some drooling. A catcall broke the silence, everypony turning to face Spear Head, who once again blushed from embarrassment.

Gilgamesh shrugged. “Sorry pal, I’m spoken for.”

Spear Head bowed back before catching the sight of the incoming cards, he called out to warn the imposing warrior of the wooden pillars being thrown at him. Gilgamesh casually swatted them aside, as if he was swatting flies.

“Everypony, get the civilians someplace safe, unicorns begin teleportation runs. Earth ponies reinforce buildings, Pegasi, keep eyes in the sky, report anything you see,” Starlight Song called out above the chaos, instantly the guard, as well as Enkidu, moved to follow her orders, their actions aiming to keep the fight off innocent ponies. Boom seemed to stick around the wolf, taking a liking to it after it pulled him from the rubble.

Duncan moved to stand beside Gilgamesh, ready to assist in the fight.

“Nah, you stay back kid. I got this,” Gilgamesh said before stepping forwards.

“But they’re my responsibility,” Duncan tried to argue. “Besides, I’m a fighter, too. I’m even part of the Guard here.”

“I know how you feel kid, and that’s admirable, but I can tell you’re pretty new to this. Sit back and watch a vet, you might learn something,” Gilgamesh replied before stepping forwards. He gave his armor a slight kick and music started to play. “Ok ladies,” he said before taking a classic boxer’s stance. “Show me what you got.”

The Power charged forward aiming for a direct attack, while the Fight circled to the side. The two rapidly approached attempting to catch their foe in a pincer attack. Gilgamesh quickly dashed forwards and slammed his fist into Power’s face, his long reach giving him and advantage over her short stature. As she stumbled backwards Fight attempted to sweep out his legs. He jumped over her attack and attempted to kick her in the face, which she backflipped away from, before dashing low and attempting to get him with an uppercut. He leaned out of the way before striking her in the gut, winding her. Power meanwhile had already gotten up and attempted to attack him from above. Gilgamesh retaliated by grabbing the winded Fight by the leg and using her like a bat to strike Power away. He then slammed Fight into the ground before hurling her at Power, both of them crashing into each other.

“Come on! You can do better than that!” he taunted, giving them both a ‘bring it’ motion.

“Ok this is just unfair.” Duncan watched from the sidelines as the titan of a Displaced fought against the two cards. He held a card in his hand waiting for the right moment, after Gilgamesh delivered another devastating attack, he decided that would be after he was done having fun.

Several blocks away from the fighting the blue unicorn, that Mistress had been fallowing, was making her way towards the explosions. She called out, “Snips! Snails! The Great and Powerful Trixie does not like walking! Get back here!”

As she made her way to find out what was happening in her new town the amulet around her neck flared with dark magic. Her eyes turning red for a brief moment. She noticed a large chunk of stone flying at her, she quickly cast a barrier. The stone shattered against it resulting in Trixie getting even more upset. “When I find out who is causing this to Trixie’s new town I will make them pay!”

“Look out!” somepony shouted. A moment later Trixie saw two figures flying at her. She squeaked and hopped off her chariot as they smashed into it with enough force to break it to splinters.

Looking up from the explosion while still with a barrier around her she saw the two biped figures lying among the broken remains of her chariot. She flared her magic and cast a spell at them trying to place them in harnesses to pull a new chariot. However the magic fizzled against them causing several of the noticeable injuries to heal.

“How is this possible Trixie is the highest unicorn! You shall kneel before Trixie!” She prepared another spell, only for the Fight card to quickly grab the Power and move out of the way. The two cards appeared behind Trixie, the dark shadows pulsating around them, tendrils reaching out and connecting them to the unicorn mare.

In a brilliant flash of pink and blue, Trixie was covered in swirling energies as the cards fused into an aura encasing her. Her eyes had entirely glossed over with pitch black shadows. Stepping once on the ground caused the earth to sutter and crack. Then leaving a trail behind her she launched herself into battle. She arrived at the site to find Gilgamesh still there, without warning she descended.

“Come on ladies, is this really the best you can… oh, that ain’t good,” Gilgamesh said before quickly summoning his armor to him. “Last time I remember, the Alicorn Amulet didn’t give Trixie that much power.”

“I BLAME THE CARDS!” Duncan yelled across the field of battle, sensing the familiar clow magic within Trixie.

“Meh, how hard could it be?” Gilgamesh shrugged before assuming another fighting stance.

In a blink Trixie approached Gilgamesh flipping to deliver a two hoofed buck directly into his chest, then unexpected speed and power sending Gilgamesh flying into the glass dome over Ponyvile.

“Ok. Not bad,” he muttered before pulling himself off the dome and landing on the ground. “Still don’t feel so great about attacking Trixie. How am I supposed to get her out of that trance?” he thought aloud as the three in one form began to walk towards him menacingly. “This may require a different approach.”

Gilgamesh then took a strange pose as different music began to play. The trinity form of Trixie, Power, and Fight stared at him curiously as he began to spin and twirl like a ballerina before deciding to attack. Gilgamesh expertly twirled away from charging attack from Trixie. She attempted to attack again sending a spray of fireworks, the flash of bright light seemed to hurt the mare’s own eyes. Even still Gilgamesh avoided them, dancing and twirling out of the way. What followed for the next few minutes was Trixie viciously attacking the larger warrior who only continued to avoid or counter every attack while moving like something out of a Canterlot musical performance.

As this happened Mistress had finally recovered from the earlier attack, after listening to the thoughts of the ponies near by he made his way to the battle. As the fight continued she found Petty Officer Boom De-yada to the edge of the battle with a satchel.

“Petty Officer, there isn’t much time, I can deal with Trixie, but I need you to drop enough Flash Bang Grenades to blind the area for about forty-five seconds. This is part of the Displaced protocol,” He commanded with as much authority as he could. The stallion smiled for a moment pulling out a pair of sunglasses.

“You got it!” He started stringing out several vials of liquid. Each with a bit grip Boom nodded to Mistress awaiting his signal.

Gilgamesh finally stopped dancing, Trixie looking both frustrated and exhausted. “So you can pretty much see I’ve been toying with you this whole time, right? Why don’t you give up like a good little pair of Clow Cards? You’re clearly outclassed.”

The mare’s only response was to howl in rage, patches of fur began to smolder as more magic was drawn into her body. Several ponies left near the battle turned tail at the unearthly noise, terror spreading through the ranks.

“Gilgamesh, I don’t think they are going to listen,” Called a familiar looking unicorn stallion with sky blue fur and brown mane, his Cutie Mark, a gear and bell exploding. He moved as close to the warrior as he dared, with Duncan fallowing.. “I have a plan, but I can’t let anypony see it, We need you to get Duncan to seal the cards, and I’ll remove the amulet. There will be a flash bang party for us to do this. Think you can hold her down while we do this?” This last comment more joke than an actual question.

“You kidding? Unless she can destroy a whole country in one blow I’m fine,” he replied. “By the way, nice seeing you again. I didn’t know another Displaced showed up on your world.” He then drew his naginata as he changed to another song. “Bring it on you possessed pony! I’ve eaten things more powerful than you!”

The mare responded to the challenge with new vigor, leaving a trail of smoke behind her as more fur burned away. Duncan activated the Sword card, using its skill to gain the advantage as he prepared to seal the cards. He managed to keep up with the possessed mare by wielding both the Sword and his jian, taking a hit every so often, but holding his own and even managing to cut through some of her spells. Gilgamesh meanwhile was practically making a show with his movements, managing to land several non-lethal blows on Trixie without taking a single hit and return, even managing to add some flourish with some flashing spins of his weapon.

“Wow! Guy’s got some moves!” Snow Drop complimented.

“Yeah. Kid’s not doing so bad either,” Boom De-yada added. He watched the fight intently getting ready to use the flashbangs. Trixie released a burst of strength throwing new vigor into the fight.

Even still the odds were not in her favor. For the most part Gilgamesh held back and let Duncan do most of the fighting, only rushing in when it looked like he might take some serious damage, and quickly overpowered Trixie long enough to give him some breathing room. It was clear he was having the time of his life, making high pitched Bruce Lee noises as he did.

Eventually Gilgamesh decided it was time to end it. He put a hand around Trixie rooting her in place. The energy burning Trixie did it’s best to burn Gilgamesh, his armor protected him however. Duncan didn’t miss the chance to finally seal the cards, using the skill of the sword card he advanced. Swinging his jian he called out, “Power Card, Fight Card! I command you to return to your powers confine, Power Card, Fight Card!” The sealing circle appeared under Trixie, the blue and pink aura’s being pulled off of her and condensing into two card shapes. He then instantly fell to the ground. The cards floated in front of Gilgamesh waiting to be accepted.

“NOW!” Mistress called out, Boom tossed out the first flashbang. The entire field was covered in blinding light, the unprepared ponies, blinded by the light….Boom also knew what song he wanted to sing at Karaoke. As the first one began to fade, he tossed out another, keeping the chain going.

Mistress used his shapeshifting powers to slide between the amulet and Trixie, using this to bypass the rule as Mistress now “wore” the amulet, he quickly removed it from the burnt out mare.

“ENOUGH!” Mistress called out signalling Boom to stop the flashbangs. Releasing one more with a giggle he finally stopped. The dark clouds surrounding Ponyville began to dissipate as the large glass fish tank popped out of existence. Smiles returned to everypony’s face as they greeted the sun. The creations of the Alicorn Amulet dissipating now that it’s source of magic was cut off.

The ponies around the battle blinked trying to clear the dots from their vision. Those who covered their faces saw Twilight in the distance running towards the group. The other element bearers making their own way.

The guard ponies surrounded the light blue mare as she laid on the ground knocked out. She was a mess, her fur was burned smoldering in patches. Her horn’s tip was black with a thin trail of smoke coming off of it. The medics began casting field first aid spells tending to her wounds.

"Thanks for the save. Sorry we had to cut your fun short, anymore and Trixie might have passed back to the void." Mistress placed a hoof on Gilgamesh's.

“Yeah, that’s probably for the best. But anyway, Changie!” Gilgamesh said suddenly, picking up and hugging the stallion. “How’ve ya been!? And how long has it been for you? Time differences and such.” Enkidu came right after, leaping off a building and latching onto the disguised changeling and barking happily.

Mistress looked rather indignant at being picked up and then tackled by the wolf. Sighing and trying to push away from the two crazies, “There are ponies watching, any idea how many explanations I’ll be giving. Anyways, its great seeing you, my time it has been a couple decades, local time it has been about 1000 years. I got sealed in the Crystal Empire when I went after Sombra. You?”

“Ouch. Anyway, for me it’s been two months. Crazy huh? And how long’s Li Syaoran been here? Pretty recent, I’m guessing.”

“He showed up when the Crystal Heart banished Sombra. You know undoing my centuries of hiding the displaced in five seconds. However its has been good having him around, goes by Duncan, btw. So now that the crisis is over…. karaoke?” Mistress watched as the guard started removing the debris from the fight.

“Yeah, I heard them call him Duncan, but it’s just my habit to call people by their costumes. And besides, things have got to be more interesting when you don’t have to hide the Displaced from everyone. And as for karaoke, sounds great, though I would like to check up on Trixie first. Always had a soft spot for that mare.” Just then he noticed The Power and The Fight cards floating in front of him, waiting for his acceptance. “Huh. Forgot that it doesn’t always go to the sealer. As tempting as it would be to take this myself, I think I’ll just hold onto them until the kid wakes up,” he said, snatching the two cards and pocketing them. “So, what was up with the creepy darkness around them? I don’t remember that from the show.”

“Ah that, we don’t know. I have Twilight looking into the book, something possessed the cards and sent them scattering. This is the second time a card has been possessed though, the first I was away with another Displaced, Avarice. I was told that the Time card was manipulating time and violently hurting Duncan and his squad mate when they tried to seal it.” Mistress took this chance to walk over to the passed out Displaced, gently kicking him with a hoof. He sent a small charge of magic to clear his fatigue.

“The Time was violent? That’s disturbing. What next, we have The Illusion terrorizing ponies with solid constructs of their fears… oh crap please don’t tell me I just jinxed us.”

“If you did I will call and curse your name. Have any wake up spells? He should be rested now.” Mistress tried kicking Duncan a second time.

“Maybe. Give me a moment,” he said before raising a hand at the boy and closing his eyes. “Esuna.” A yellow sparkling light shined over the boy and his eyes began to flutter as he groaned. “Huh. It works on hangovers and exhaustion.”

“Morning sleepy head, awake now?” Mistress mocked offering a hoof to the Displaced. Duncan accepted it returning to his feet. He then looked up at the intimidating figure, first chance to really take a good look.

“Hi, you’re awesome, I loved your fanfic. If it’s not to much trouble can I spar with you?” Duncan spoke quickly unsure of what else to say, having idolized the character sense reading his story on his home world. He then remembered the two cards being sealed and looked around, craning his neck to look behind Gilgamesh. “Cards, um where did they go?”

“Here you go kid,” Gilgamesh replied, reaching behind his back and pulling the two cards out. “Thank Faust Change already told me about the fanfic thing long ago. It was kinds surprising, but considering how everything went, I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised. Felt pretty scripted. And for sparring, no problem,” he smirked, “if that’s all you want.”

“Um, not sure what else, I mean you’ll have to forgive the bit of hero worship I’m in a bit of shock. I'd also love to hang out if your not too busy?” Duncan asked, not entirely sure why Gilgamesh added the emphasis to the last bit.

“Sure kid, I’m here for the promise of Karaoke first and foremost. And as for that last part, if you’ve been keeping up with tales, I’m sure you know about the students I’ve taken on. How’d you like to be number four?”

Duncan’s eyes grew uncharacteristically large, he looked Gilgamesh in they eye before nodding a furious yes. “Yes, yes, that would be awesome. Um yes.”

A bark came from nearby and they all turned to face Enkidu, who’s forelegs were folded across his chest while he tapped his hind leg.

“Oh, right, Duncan, this is Enkidu, my travelling companion, made for me by Faust herself. Say hi to him,”Gilgamesh said.

“Hi Enkidu, it is a pleasure to meet such a proud wolf, made by a goddess at that.” Duncan reached down and started petting the wolf, smiling as he scratched behind the ears. The wolf responded by practically purring in pleasure, leaning his head into his hands.

“Yeah, he feels a little ignored sometimes. But now, off to booze and beats. And maybe a little food on the side. Also, I’m surprised you’re taking the fact that I knew Changie from one thousand years ago so well.”

“I missed that part, say what? Miss..Mor… Tinker, yes, how could you not tell me that you knew Gilgamesh?!” Duncan turned facinging Mistress in a bit of rage, leaning over him as a show of rage.

“See, this is why you should just come out. It makes it much easier for people to talk to you,” Gilgamesh said to the changeling.

“So you know how I wanted to know about the season two ending? Well a few decades, or centuries before I went after Sombra I ran into him, you know what a flashback would explain this better.” Tinker Bell stepped back trying to look innocent.

Several thousand years in the past…..

Mistress had adopted a new persona, he called it Tinker Bell. Something in the back of her head among her mismatched memories told her it was a reference, he felt oddly pleased by it. After leaving the guard and personas for a sabbatical he was out past the badlands. Exploring the world he was living in, currently climbing through a canyon, there was a little vegetation on either side.

See any spot that looks good Jeff? I want a proper mad scientist cave. With all the stuff Star Swirl is letting me use I really want to make something. This was something else new to Jeff, Mistress had never had a knack for building before, although the sun powered shower was great during their trip.

No Mistress, although I hear something look ahead. Jeff grew a pair of eyes out of the hair acting as stocks trying to find the source of sound.

Carefully advancing she found a young filly, black with green hair. She had a black horn that looked like pieces were missing, her hooves similarly shaped. On her back were a pair of insectoid wings. The sound was her wailing as several large lizards approached her, they were covered in hides wielding axes in their maws.

“Get away from her you monsters,” Mistress yelled charging in without thinking, only to be caught by a tail hitting him in the head. The lizards all looked at her with a hungry gleam in their eyes.

Their thoughts were violent, and hungry. Happy to have a second meal walk in on them they started laughing in a broken rasp.

“EEEEEEEESSSSSSSHHHHH!!” They called charging at Mistress, leaving a few around the young filly to guard her. Mistress reacted quickly forming bone blade from her fore hooves she started parrying and blocking the axes and claws of the lizards. Jeff formed his own razor tipped tendrils aiming for the eyes trying to blind the creatures. More and more lizards seemed to pour out of the canyon walls. For each creature she killed two more would appear.

Shit I shouldn’t have done that, can’t help if I’m dead. Jeff, I’m going to throw you, get the filly and run, I’ll catch up! Mistress started running up the walls using claws to dig into the rock. using the few moments this bought he used a tendril and his forehoof to throw Jeff, who had turned into a spear. Rocketing forward he rapidly shifted into a ball engulfing the petrified filly. Without missing a beat he grew a few large spindly legs and started strutting over the surprised lizards.

The respite didn’t last long as they gave chase to the creature stealing their meal. Returning to the ground Mistress began to chase after the lizards, he tripped. Looking back he found a pair of gauntlets half buried in the dirt. His left back hoof was still resting on it, he then heard.

"I am the warrior, the master of weapons, the seeker of battle and adventure. To those who would require my strength to defeat thy foes, to crush opposing forces, put on these Genji Gloves and call out my name with the intent to summon me. If ye be without true malice in thy hearts, know that the mighty Gilgamesh will come to thy aid!”

“Warrior I need your help saving a filly, please hurry!” Mistress grabbed the gauntlets using flesh to strap them to his back he ran off after the lizards. He began taking out the slow ones from the back of the pack hopping that help would arrive quickly.

Just then a hole in the air opened and a titanic figure poked his head out. “Ok, so, one pony versus a bunch of hungry lizard things. I know exactly how to respond to this,” he thought aloud before shooting out of the hole and lighting on fire before smashing into the hordes of creatures, the explosion sending them flying. “LET THE HEROIC SLAUGHTER BEGIN! COME ENKIDU, WITH VICTORY COMES JUICY BONES FOR THE GNAWING!”

At that command a huge green canine leapt out of the hole, growling as it landed on one of the lizard and began to bite and tear out it’s throat.

Letting a small sigh of relief that the warrior was helping Mistress charge forth to catch up with Jeff, the creatures seemed easily distracted as they shifted their focus again, now trying to rip apart the two new warriors. Spearing creatures in the eyes as he made for his partner. Jeff hearing the explosion of fire and lightning, turned his stock eyes around watching Mistress catch up.

“Jeff Top side, while they are distracted, “ Mistress covered his retreat as Jeff scaled the cliff side, the small filly still screaming inside his protection. The inside of the mimic was hot and dark, great care was made to ensure that she wasn’t too jostled. She began running her horn into the flesh causing jeff to almost miss his footing.

“Jeff help, stop hurting, Jeff save. Jeff protect, we safe Mistress helping!” He tried to calm the filly only for her to wail louder and start sending small sparks of green magic at the mouth he made. It singed his tongue and tasted faintly of strawberries.

“Here Jeff show you.” Jeff created several bone bars that exposed the battle below. Mistress was slowly being pushed back as he ripped apart creature after creature, he moved as a graceful fluid mass, shifting his body to accept tail whips with a wall of fat or letting it sink in for him to bite it off.

The filly looked on in morbid shock and curiosity at the power of the strange creatures, as impressive as this creature’s ‘mistress’ was the armored figure and it’s wolf were unbelievable.

“Well, this is kinda lackluster, if I do say so myself,” Gilgamesh commented as he casually cut one of the lizards in half vertically with his naginata and then backhanding another’s head so hard it flew off. “How’s it going for you, buddy?”

Enkidu launched forwards, his entire body puncturing straight through one of lizards and leaving a massive hole in it, before barking back.

“I agree, this is boring. I’m gonna finish it now,” he said as he jumped up into the air. “Let’s see, I know how to manipulate my ki, so let’s see if this works,” he muttered as he clasped his hands together before opening them into the shape of a triangle. “HEY, YOU WITH THE TRANSFORMING POWERS! GET OUT OF THE WAY!”

Eyes going wide, Mistress vanished in a shadowy black portal, with a faint melody. A second later the melody sounded next to Jeff as he appeared beside him.

“CLEAR!” He called out digging into the dirt.

He nodded back, and turned to face the lizards, noticing Enkidu had retreated far enough and all of them looking at him curiously. “SHIN-KIKOHO!” he bellowed before a massive beam of energy slammed into the creatures, boring a square shaped hole into the ground beyond what anyone could see. Any of the lizards that weren’t disintegrated by the blast were scattered by the shockwave. They looked towards what had become of their brethren before running off, finally deciding it just wasn’t worth it. The warrior then panted before slowly levitating himself to the ground. “Ok. not quite, there yet. Not gonna be using that anytime soon, and certainly not spamming it. Whew.”

Seeing the danger finally over, Mistress and Jeff jumped down from the cliff landing next to the warrior. The small filly was released into Mistress’s care as Jeff returned to his post as his Mistress’s hair.

“Shh it’s ok now you’re safe. Warrior, thank you for your help. I am known as Tinker Bell while in this form. You have proven worthy to call me Mistress Change. I am in your debt.” He continued to hold the filly who, with a final nod, passed out from exhaustion.

“‘Mistress… Change’?” he asked, looking rather confused. His eyes then widened in surprise. “Oh wow, you’re a Displaced and a changeling? That’s a new one. Huh, looks like I’m getting better at this aura sensing thing. And… your hair is another creature?”

“Yes I am Displaced, and I prefer the term shapeshifter. This is Jeff my partner, a mimic.” Mistress nodded, “ and your name warrior?”

The warrior struck a dramatic pose before answering. “Gilgamesh, of course! Mighty warrior, wanderer of the multiverse, he who has defeated entire armies alone, slain the universe destroying sorcerer Exdeath, blessed by Lady Fausticorn herself, and generally awesome dude, if I may toot my own horn. And this is my partner and travelling companion Enkidu,” ke finished, motioning to the wolf at his side who barked before standing on his hind legs and bowing gracefully. “And is that thing’s name really Jeff?”

That pose, and wording, so familiar Mistress tried to think, placing a hoof to his head. Think, think, think…
Mistress, are you remembering something? Jeff asked slightly concerned, he wished he knew what was wrong with Mistress and how to fix it.

“GILGAMESH, the epic warrior of epicness, I LOVED your fanfic, your exploits with Kat and Auric, even Nemmi, I can’t believe I really get to meet you. May i glomp you?” Mistress’ personality taking a one-eighty as the new memories flooded his mind. She started bouncing with excitement not waiting for the ok he tackled the warrior in a hug.

“Ah, once again, I am a theme park mascot,” he replied, hugging his new fan, before reflecting on his words. “... Wait, what was that about a fanfic?”

“Oh right, you know how Equestria is MLP? Well in my home earth your adventures are written as a fanfiction…. how is Luna by the way?” Mistress asked releasing the warrior, with a sheepish grin and a slight blush.

“I’m… a fanfic character?” Gilgamesh asked, looking completely broken.

Oh no. Oh no, oh no. Did I-?

“Huh… that’s… that would actually explain a lot,” he said.

“Are you ok? You seem to be taking this worse than Dox. If it helps your story stayed pretty PG, except a lot of violence… I ask because in some crossovers you mentioned her fondly.” Mistress sat down looking up to the frozen human.

“Well, I mean, yeah, I guess I’m a little bit upset that my life is essentially the product of an amateur writer of Faust knows what age, but it would explain how my development over the war was basically like a shonen manga. And, I guess if nothing else, unless he or she decides to screw me over, I can be pretty much assured Luna’s waiting back home for me. So overall… yeah, I think I’m ok with this.”

“Well another way to think about is you make your choices and they just influence the writer’s imagination on an extra dimensional level. So now that this has happened I need to figure out what to do with this one. She looks familiar and triggered a protective reaction beyond normal.” Mistress nodded to the young filly curled up in her hooves.

“Oh… Faust… is that… a filly Chrysalis?” Gilgamesh asked.

Blinking in surprise Mistress picked up the young filly,” Yes I think it is, what is she doing out here? I wonder if I could take her to somepony to raise?”

Before she could stop him Gilgamesh grabbed the filly out of her hooves and began to cuddle her. ”OHFAUSTSHE’SSOADORABLESHE’STHECUTESTTHINGI’VESEENSINCEMAXIE’SFOALSANDIJUSTWANTTOWRAPHERUPINABLANKIEANDTAKEHERHOMESHE’SSOPRECIOUS!” he gushed.

“Well she belongs in this world but I wouldn’t mind you helping raise her. How do you feel about being a Godfather?”

He practically squeed at that. “YES! OH PLEASE YES!”

“Alright, first job as a Godfather, tell me everything you know about raising a changeling, heck a child at all I’ve never done this before, in any of my lives.” Mistress smiled as he held the small queen’s face in her hoof smiling.

“Jeff doesn’t know. Jeff would like learn how care for filly,” Jeff piped up from Mistress’ mane.

“And neither do I! So let’s figure it out! Time to be parents!”
