Chapter Fifteen: The Destroyer of TimeCrossover:
(Allen's P.O.V.)
I stepped out of the other end of my portal and instantly found myself in The Everfree forest. Alright master said the ruins should be around here somewhere. Master had told me that before he had been imprisoned that he'd discovered an object that could be innocence he said "I thought it might be important so I hid it in the library of ol'sunbutt's castle". I looked around to try and figure out exactly where in the forest I was. I started wandering hoping to find a landmark of some kind and get my bearings as I entered a area filled with small blue flowers then I heard a voice behind me. “Beware strange thing of silver hue, there’s danger in those flowers blue…” I turned to see just who or what was warning me and found a zebra in a red cloak carrying a basket filled with various plants. “Who are you? and what do you mean danger?” She gestured to a large patch of glowing blue flowers. “Those flowers there playa mean joke, a magical change it will invoke. On contact they release their pollen, by them many unwary people have fallen.” I jumped away from the flowers with a small yelp, then turned and nodded at the striped mare. “Thank you for stopping me miss…?” I rolled my hand implying I awaited a response. “Zecora is the name by which I’m known, I’m quite happy to call it my own.”Thank you Zecora my name is Allen walker, I was wondering can you help me I’m a bit lost.” Zecora nodded. “To what location do you go? For giving directions must know.” “I’m looking for the ruins of a castle I think my master left me something there.” She pondered for a moment before responding. “Head down this pathway to my right and you will reach it before the night.” I nod “thank you, I must be on my way but please tell noone you saw me.” I can’t risk news of my freedom and location reaching Celestia…..yet. I hurried down the path she pointed out to me, and about 10 minutes later found myself in front of Celestia’s old castle. Even though it’s been more than a thousand years, this castle is as impressive as ever….(1,501 years ago)I had been in this world called Equestria for 3 weeks now mostly living in the forest surviving off small rabbits and such. But until now I hadn’t come across this castle the walls were pure white with the tops of the towers and roofs being a dark blue like the night sky. I spied a few guards patrolling about, but decided against introducing myself to the royalty. I need to be heading back or sky’ll get worried so I turned and headed back towards her small hut in the forest.(Present day)Shaking away the nostalgia I walked across the bridge and went in search of the library. I’ll check there first because master might have hidden it in a book, he’s funny like that. Finding the library was easy enough as I entered I pulled down my hood “Alright Tim, can you help look for anything that has master’s magic on it... or if a picture of someone has a mustache drawn on it.” It didn’t take Tim long to find the right book I look at the title “The pop-up diary of Discord” why am I not surprised? I opened it up and was met with a cardboard cutout of Discord holding a golden coin with what looks a cartoon-ish bear on the side. I grab the coin and hear a voice in my head speaking.“Freddy isn't here at the moment. If you're ab-ZZRZTZTZTRZTR”The voice cut to static partway through.“Sorry, I forgot to fix my message. One sec!” I tilted my head to the side in confusion “what?” A flash of light burned out of the coin, and when it cleared there stood a strange figure. (He)? seemed to be a man in a vaguely cartoonish bear suit of a golden color. He turned to me and I could see his mismatched eyes. One was draconic, with a slitted pupil and a golden iris. The other was a black void with a single white pinprick within. His ‘suit’ was marred with a scattering of tears, holes and burns, under which I could see a metal skeleton. That much showed it wasn’t a costume. He/it gave a jovial grin, the costume of his face actually moving like a regular face, and held out a paw.“Hey there. My name’s Freddy, yours?”“It’s Allen, Allen Walker”“Nice to meet ya. Always nice to see unfamiliar Displaceds.”“Why did you piss some other displaced off?” I questioned as I shook his paw.“Yup! Messed up my Equestria, killed my Discord, met a couple jerk Displaced, met some cool Displaced, decided to fix damage to my Equestria as a favor to the nice Displaced, started a new race of changelings, met up with my dimension’s Chrysalis and made plans to integrate her hive into said new race,”He shrugged.“Then I met you. That’s how my week’s been! So, what’s happening guy?”I blinked “Wow you’ve had one hell of a week, well I just got freed and Discord, who happens to be my master and taught me all about the void and the displaced, told me that he hid something important here that might be of use to me” I sighed “but it just turned out to be this coin and then you showed up.”“That’s cuz that coin is my token! And be wary of Discord. My deal is that I kill Discords that are similar to mine, seeing as my Discord basically brainwashed me. I actually figured that much out after I killed him, so that didn’t work out well for him. But like I said, my deal is that I exchange access to your Discord for a big favor. And if you didn’t figure I have the whole deal of PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER!”I raised my hands and quickly waved them from side to side. “Ha Aladdin reference, also please don’t kill my Disord he’s actually the only reason I might stand a chance against an enemy of mine who seeks to destroy all life in Equestria, also he taught me how to open portals to the void like this.” I demonstrated by opening a small portal and throwing an old book in it and made it reappear at the other end by my feet.“Hmm. So you go like this?”He opened a small void portal and put his paw in and out of it before closing it.“Cool. New trick…Anyway with regards to killing your Discord that’s no problem. Your Equestria, your Discord, your rules. Unless you try and pull some shit and attack me. Then I bring destruction. Until that, we’re all cool. So you want help with something or what? I’m willing to do favors even without the whole Discord killing thing.”“Actually I could use a hand in finding Innocence, and If you know how can you give me the ability to disguise myself or something like it? I’m not exactly on the princesses good side at the moment.”“Sure thing.”Freddy’s paws gained a golden glow and he took out what looked like a small slenderman mask. He seemed to pour power into it, and with a final flash he seemed to finish. He held it out.“There’s four little symbols it in for function,”The three were of a pair of wings, a fist, a horn and finally one of a starburst.“One for each race, it’ll read your mind for colors and cutie marks but other than that it’ll input a pony disguise for you. The fourth is an alicorn one that’ll give you the whole wavy hair and fancy cutie mark and regalia and such. That one’s mainly for confusing ponies and getting into areas that are high security. I gave the mask a Dr. Who style perception filter too, so ponies will be less likely to question you. The disguises are waterproof and heatproof, but if you are either out of magic or in an area without ambient magic then the disguises will run off a limited power supply with a time limit. It’ll recharge but y’know. Oh and I’m afraid you’ll need to give me some detail on what ‘innocence’ is for me to make/find it.”“Well basically it’s a material that can be forged into a weapon against enemies called Akuma, I won’t go into an explanation because it’s not important, it looks like a small golden cube that’s surronded by two cris-crossing gears if you need to know what it feels like here touch this…”I held out my arm and shouted in my mind Innocence, Activate!!the result was instant, in a flash of greenish-white light my right arm was replaced by a large silver claw it had a black cross on the back of the hand and was more than twice my arms length and size“this is a weapon forged from innocence I was blessed to have innocence within my hand and when I invoke it becomes an Anti-akuma weapon, can you use my arm to track some innocence?”Freddy seemed to consider this and he ran a paw over my arm, as if scanning it.“Yeah I think I can do that.” A golden and black glow ignited around his paws, as he snapped them, a piece of innocence appearing between them. He held it out.“How’s this?”I smiled “that’s perfect” But as I reached out to grab it it suddenly glowed brighter than I’ve ever seen and rocketed passed me through the window. I ran to the window just in time to see the innocence fly towards a small town near the edge of the forest, also I saw the familiar sight of the elements no doubt re-imprisoning discord. “great now it’s found an accommodator” I sighed realizing just how annoying this was going to be. “sorry Freddy I gotta dash.” “Eh no problem. You got a token yet for me to take with me?”“yeah hold on” I ripped another button off my coat and poured some of my power into it.“Here just call for me if you need any help” “Sure thing. you got mine already so you do the same and all!” I waved to the golden bear and ran off eager to find this new ally before ‘HE’ did. Freddy snapped a paw and disappeared in a flash after taking my token and seeming to place it inside of his own ribcage. “Peace out!”
