Author's Notes:

This is a crossover with Bronyparasite's The Darker Side Of Life and I think it was awesome and you should check it out even though it is finished and his character Folteren is coming before the last chapter/the epilogue

See you in the next Chapter

(If you want to crossover just PM me)

You have a lot of time when you are a stone statue in a garden and when you have nothing to do you usually try finding different abilities of the character you are and in my case it was called eagle-vision and after 1500 you usually get pretty well at the stuff you learn so I could at that point usually hold my eagle-vision for about an hour or two which by the game’s standards on only a couple minutes is very impressive and I after 500 years got a friend his name is Discord and wouldn’t you believe it I found a nickname for him the split second I heard his name Dissy that sound good right? O I’m rambling again aren’t I? Usually happens when you are encased in stone and have no one else except a chaos spirit.

Oi! Dissy, how are you doing? Anything new?

Nope nothing, Eddie you see anything?

Same nothing new.

Wait, Eddie do you hear it another school.

And yes I heard it a school group coming to see the magnificent statues in the royal garden.

“Ok children this here,” the pony looking to be the teacher pointed at Dissy “is the spirit of chaos and he was very chaotic,” she said.

Yes of course he was very chaotic, he was the literal god of chaos or spirit of chaos if you want.

“And this here is the assassin he could do some very magnificent things he was a master in martial arts and at stealth” she explained.

Yes a very good description of me, in fact one of the most exact descriptions of me, if you count my personality and other deeds out… but who cares.

“But now children can you explain what the chaos spirit represents?” she asked the boring question with the very easy to guess answer.

And three fillies began fighting over what he represented which was very odd since it’s an obvious answer: chaos and disharmony, but hey if they want to fight about that it’s fine by me and by the faint sounds of cracking I heard it obviously fueled Discord’s chaos magic to the point of breaking his shell.

Discord?

Yes?

Before you go just to make sure you are not stupid and get caught again make a spell that sends you into my mind instead of getting turned to stone again

Oh, Eddie always the protective one ain’t ya?

Discord I would give my life to protect the ones I love and remember the contract I signed it said you would not return to stone

Yes?

And I never break a contract no matter what

Oh my thousand year long friend… “I will always remember you even though I can’t turn you back I tried right now” Discord said.

Well see you at some point then

“Yes of course well ta ta” Discord said.

And in a few hours my usual cult member will come praise me and deliver news about everything.

“Oh praise the almighty being known as assassin… hey assassin we have found a strange device of some sort and we are going to investigate it and find out what it does” he said “it appears to be made out of some kind of metal”

Hmm very useful maybe when they find out what it is I can have good use of it… if I ever get out of here.

I watched as he walked away again, I thought of all the fanfic I could have been reading instead of just standing here as a statue so I began drifting of into daydreaming since you can’t really close your eyes as they are permanently opened because they are stone.

We made a circle around the object as it was on a pedestal, our leader stood forward and approached the object to investigate and when he pushed down on some of the buttons a message began coming from the object.

“I am Darth Folteren, Dark Lord of the Sith, and ruler of my Equestria. Be you hero, or villain, I shall cut down your enemy's. I may aid you in you're turmoil, and help you in your darkest and/or loneliest moment. I am here to help my brothers and sisters. May the Dark Side shroud you in your travels.”

Everypony was startled or scared, but our leader pressed other buttons and said “How does this even work?” After the sixth button was pressed, lightning started shooting out, forming a bipedal being that’s aura sent shivers down our backs. The lightning stopped and a dark creature similar to the Assassin was knelt on one knee, and a blue creature sat on its shoulder. It stood up.

And only a second after a pop was heard and another strange creature stood in the room, the creature looked like the one that usually stood next to the Assassin, the spirit looked at the dark one and said “Hello my friend my name is Discord and I could not look over the big darkness and chaos energy you are emitting and now who might you be?”

The dark creature’s face was hidden by a red mask which meant it was hard to tell his expression, “Oh, another Discord…” The creature sighed, “If you must know, I am Darth Folteren.” The blue thing on his shoulder jumped, “And this is Waffles. Now, where is the Displaced?”

“I am not sure I understand, Displaced?” Discord asked and seemed to think hard about it for a second and then finally couldn’t find an answer “I am sorry but I have no idea of what a Displaced is”

Folteren grumbled, “Crap… He or she should be human. Ring any bells” Waffles begins to wander the room, looking at us.

“Oh, yes, you might be looking for my friend Eddie or Edward as he is actually called but he is still encased in stone, petrified and all that stuff like I was a couple minutes ago and now I want to know could you get him out in any way?” Discord asked looking at Folteren with a hopeful smile on his face.

Folteren nodded, “Yes. I can, and will. Waffles, stop using watergun on that weird pony and get over here!” Waffles had been blasting one of the cultist’s faces with a stream of water. The little blue fish-like animal hopped over to Folteren and was lifted by an unknown force and placed on his right shoulder. “Send me to him, and I’ll free him. And a word of advise, if you battle the Element’s, don’t put them somewhere they would be able to get to.”

“Oh, even if I did something stupid and got blasted by the Elements me and Eddie have it covered he did make a contract to protect me as part of his family” Discord said and snapped his fingers and they both disappeared with a pop and confetti.

“Ok here we are my evil looking friend the royal gardens in front of my friend Eddie” Discord said and made confetti from his hands.

Folteren examined the stoned Displaced. “I hate stone, messes with my Nanites… But I guess its still doable. Hello Mr. Edward.”

Well hello Mr. something and hi Discord… and did you just say you could get me out?! Yes! Best. Day. Ever. Being stuck in stone for one-thousand five-hundred years is quite an irritating thing especially if five-hundred of them was spent alone… and is that a mudkip?

Folteren sighed, “Try just being unable to move for that long and being alone for a thousand… Darn it… I’m getting off topic. Sandy, prepare to change this stone into flesh and blood.”

[But the stone will impair the procedure.] A monotone voice said.

“I know. But it’ll just make you slower. Do it.”

[No.]

“Sandy?” Folteren looked down at his wrist.

[... Was you wish.] Sandy submitted.

Silver flakes engulfed Edward. He felt them entering his stone body, and as they continued, he felt numb. He felt his heart spring to life. His blood begin to move. It started slowly, then began to speed up. And after twenty seconds that felt like an eternity, Edward was free.

Edward instantly fell to his knees from not using his legs for a long time and only after a few seconds got back to his feet eliciting a groan as he did “Thanks for that and again is that a mudkip?” Edward asked as he walked a bit around the pedestal his statue was on to get some life back into his legs.

Folteren sighed, “Why does everyone ask that? Of course he is! Waffles, stop hugging Discord!” Waffles was indeed hugging Discord, but was pulled away as Folteren moved his hand. Waffles was set on the dark lords head, and fell asleep.

“Sorry gotta make sure I’m not seeing things as that was a usual prank from Discord and since you used the force, look evil and have a cute mudkip named Waffles I guess you title would be Darth as in dark lord from star wars” Edward said as he was inspecting Folteren in his usual Sherlock Holmes style position.

“Wow, nice powers of deduction captain obvious. Darth Folteren. Although, I’ve considered Darth Revan.” Folteren said, crossing his arms. “Good to see you up and about, but is that all? I’ve got three daughters that I was teaching math too, and I hate being summoned when I’m not needed by Displaced, and they call me evil looking, which is just rude.” Folteren grunted.

“Hey sorry about the evil looking thing, I actually love math and was it my cult? and your daughters is called Scootaloo, Shadow and the last one I can’t guess” Edward said with his very random power of randomness “Sorry gotta be random, can’t do much about it”

“How did you know that!?” Folteren took his lightsabers and activated them. Red and purple blades glowed menacingly.

“You try living with that thing” Edward pointed at Discord “for a thousand years and get pranked a lot and get so random chaos powers it’s unbelieveable so it kinda is Discord’s fault for me getting his random power of random and being able to guess something in your life, so calm your tits dude!” Edward shot back “Oh and I would very much not have my head split from my body on my first day out in 1500 years”

Folteren hesitated, but shut his Lightsabers off, “I don’t like chaos powers. Too personal.” He sighed, “Is that all? I have an Equestria too.” Folteren paused, “Have you been introduced to the Displaced?”

“No I have no idea what a Displaced is and I have no idea what Discord’s powers could have done maybe if I snap my fingers something happens that’s the problem with chaos magic you can’t control it” Edward said feeling a bit worried.

Folteren smirked and chuckled, “The chaos thing I hope you gain control of. Kinda wish I had something like that. As for the Displaced… Well, to put it in short terms, there are other worlds with humans that dressed up and bought something, then got sent to Equestria. I’m surprised you haven’t freaked out by my presence. I am human like you, and this world seems to be missing other humans. Why you aren't shocked.”

Edward thought about that for a second “Huh must be the chaos thing, but it also helps that this world’s ponies are Anthro and all that and yea it is kinda freaky to meet another human after so long, but being infused with a bit of chaos from a chaos spirit definitely helps as I said before… oh and thanks for telling me what a Displaced is, but still how’d you get here lad?”

“Don’t call me lad… I got here by my Token.” Folteren’s Token appeared in his hand, “It summons me to Displaced that need my help. There are hundreds if not thousands of them. I’ve already met two. Both I’ve befriended. There are good Displaced, and bad Displaced.”

“Sorry about the lad thing it’s something Edward says from the game and is that a hologram thing? Huh looks cool.” Edward facepalmed “Wait, did the cult summon you? Because if they did I am so going to find them and teach them a little lesson about touching things you don’t know shit about! but they did kinda get me out because of it… still going to teach them a lesson!” Edward said getting a bit angry at the cult.

Folteren snickered, “Well, their lucky I’m the one they summoned. I’d hate for you to lose your cult due to a misinterpretation. Good thing I’m understanding.” Folteren rolled his shoulders, and cracked his fingers. “I’ll be happy to help you make a Token for yourself if you’d like. It just needs to be something that represents you, and has a message.”

“Ok maybe I can finally try my new chaos powers out.” Edward got a look of concentration and gave a snap with his fingers then there sounded a pop and an iron skull at the size of an apple appeared “Huh very interesting only thing I did was think of a skull and here it is after a snap… Chaos powers are awesome!” Edward said “ok now to the message… 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… sound good? and you do not want to know what that cult did in my name.”

“You don’t even want an idea of what I did to pass the time. Yep, sounds pretty good… Why does almost every Displaced need chaos powers? I’ll send it.” Folteren took the skull in his force grip. The nanites took it apart and vanished, “I sent mine through a Pool I found… That gives me an idea when I return! Anyways, it’s sent.”

“Good then I guess that’s done” Edward turns to Discord “Now you can go do your chaos thing while me and Folteren get a drink” Edward turns to Folteren “You do want a drink right? oh and here you have my token thing.” Edward snaps his fingers again and another skull appears “Here you are” Edward gives the skull to Folteren “Now where is the bar? wait no what about I just make some?” with a snap two bottles appear one whiskey and one rum “So what do you like the best whiskey or rum?”

Folteren paused, “... Rum, it's been a long time since I’ve actually had liqueur, and I’ve always hated whiskey.” Folteren took the rum, and removed his mask. He move some of his brown locks out of his face, and sipped the drink to get a taste, “Wow! Thats strong… How much magic did you pour into that?”

“I have no Idea and I don’t even know how I made them appear I just wanted some drinks and a snap after they were here” Edward said as he began to drink some of his whiskey “And I finally see the man behind the mask, I have my face on full display while you have that mask… well I do have my hood but that doesn’t cover my face much.”

“You want a mask?” Folteren asked.

“No I don’t it’s not my style but if I was going to be a vigilante at night it would be awesome” Edward said “so could I have a mask? Assassin and pirate most of the time and vigilante some of the time.”

Folteren chuckled, “Sure.” A mask that looked like his own materialized in his hand. Instead of red though, it was dark grey, “This good? I put in a bit of a stealth mode into it, like a TARDIS key. Get it?” Folteren waved the mask a bit, “Just will it to activate, not that hard.” He handed it over to the assassin/pirate.

“Hm TARDIS like in Doctor Who? If not I don’t get it and that looks awesome very good for a vigilante that doesn’t want anyone to know who he is… but it's missing something… ah yes, flame design” Edward said as he snapped and the mask got a flame design on the sides “Yes that’s it, now it’s absolutely awesome now I need some chains and a motorcycle and then I can be a kind of Ghost Rider almost.”

Folteren sighed, “Whatever. What you do is your own, and I don’t think I’m needed-” He stopped when they heard the sound of sipping, Waffles was drinking the rum in Folteren’s hand, “No! Bad Waffles!” He threw the mug away and grabbed the little Mudkip under his arm. “I may be okay when you eat my pancakes, but you can’t have rum!” Waffles didn’t seem to care as he fell asleep. Folteren sighed, “Is that all?”

“It should be and… ha ha ha” Edward began to let out a roar of laughter and when he stopped snapped and made a plate of waffles “Here if he want’s anything else just give him these waffles and if he is a pain at the time they will make him fall asleep and I don’t know how I made them… damn chaos magic” Edward began looking irritated at his hand and especially two fingers on his right hand.

Folteren nodded, he took them. “Your cult has my Token, so I’ll be off… Enjoy the mask!” Folteren began walking away. “Nice meeting you! And if you see a little orange filly without a home named Scootaloo, would you take care of her. She might not be homeless here, but you never know.”

“Well I will take care of Scootaloo, but I won’t take her on any of my raids and/or plunderings or nightly activities and things like that and if you want I can tell her stories of a great warrior with swords of light” Edward said with a wink “And be sure to summon me every once in a while it’s always nice to talk or have a drink or even if you have a mission for me I will help… but if I am taking a bath I won’t answer your calls my token will probably say I am in bath or something…” Edward began thinking of all the things chaos magic would do to his life “And I will make a town for who ever want’s to come live there and also where Scoots and I will live… unless she want’s to live in Ponyville.”

“That all sounds good. If I need an assassin(And I know I will), I’ll call you up. Anyway, I leave you with one of my favorite songs!” A song began playing as Folteren’s form turned to lightning. Folteren smiled softly, almost kindly. The song continued, and a gauntlet surging with lightning. There was a note that read:

Dear Eddie. I’ve given you something to replicate my force lightning. Not as powerful, but still a good pranking and/or tool. Take care of Scoots.(And I like that story idea. I’m a bit greedy…)

PS: Discord is going to lose, so make sure you don’t.

“Oh Folty don’t you think I know he did tell you we had taken care of it if things got bad right? well and I saw the show so I already know” Edward thought “Oh and I won’t because I have many plans and ideas on how to not lose that’s what happens when you have 1500 years to prepare for another blast from the elements.”

{Folteren’s POV}

I arrived back home and got smacked by a fish. I heard two sets of giggling. Luna and Scoots prepared for my return with a catapult full of fish pointed at my face.

I growled playfully, “Oh, you wanna play this the hard way? We’ll play this the hard way.” That seemed to scare them enough for them to run away. I sighed, smiling. A new ally! That was always good. First I had Freddy. Then I had Pegasus, and now I had Edward. My eye twitched, ‘Did he call me Folty? I hate that nickname...’

{Edward’s POV}

Somewhere in the multiverse I could feel Folty rage over his nickname and while I was walking out of Canterlot to get to Ponyville I couldn’t do anything else than let out a chuckle and thought ‘Oh Folty there is going to be more of that much much more of that’
