Chapter 7: A Strange Stroll In the Everfree

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

I began to near the outskirts of town on the road to the Everfree.

Hm should I just stroll or do something else.

I walked past Fluttershy’s cottage and slowly entering the Everfree, while walking I looked around getting a feel for where the best place for a hidden base with a retractable roof would be.

I then saw a firework out in the distance darkness of the forest that peaked my curiosity, so I began walking towards the fireworks, even though that is the most stupid thing you could do in any horror movie… this isn’t a horror movie, is it?

I slowly made my way through the forest crouched down for maximum sneak, I peeked through the bushes and saw…

A human girl in a yellow trench coat throwing colorful rays into the air, which sounded off like fireworks. A pair of red goggle were on her head, a short shirt(I don’t know what they’re called), cargo pants and yellow earrings.

I looked on for a bit before I revealed myself still in my not permanent clothing, so not looking exactly like Kenway “Hello, how can I help you?”

She seemed to jump at that, and whipped around to me with shock, then calmness. “Oh, you must be Edward Kenway! The Displaced Assassin, Pirate, etc.” She looked me up and down. “How can you be a pirate, and an assassin?”

“Simple, I have a pirate ship, I do pirate stuff, I have hidden blades and I also do assassin stuff. But now, why are you here?” I said with a curious look “Because I don’t remember, ever meeting you.”

She smirked, gave a twirl, and replied. “I’m Jubilee! Displaced girl wonder, X-Man of the Power Ponies in Maretropolis, explosive mutant, and one of the “Intro Guys”, at your service.” She bowed with one arm to her chest, and the other outstretched. “I’ve come to give you a contract from Darth Folteren.” She straightened herself out. “But first, I need to get some water, I’ve been here yelling for hours…”

“Oh, so you are here for Folty and… “Intro Guys”?... Well not the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard, but first to the water.” I said and pointed in the direction of Ponyville “Heh, you need to first get used to stuff like that… kinda got infected by Discord’s random thingy…” I got cut off by a whole group of royal guards jumping out of the bushes. “Seriously why does my life need to be so hard.” I muttered to myself.

“Stop right there criminals, you are hereby arrested for plotting to attack Ponyville!” One of the guards yelled.

Jubilee stepped forward. “Believe me, I don’t plot.” She raised her arm as it started to glow. “And I do what I friggin want!” She aimed her arm at one of the guard, who was knocked back and hit a tree.

She turned her head to the one who spoke. “If I wanted Ponyville gone, I’d have done it by now.” She bent her neck sideways, giving off an audible ‘pop’. “And at what point did you realize you were screwed?” After saying that, both arms started to glow.

I looked around at the group of guards then thinking how I could look as badass… I then proceeded to draw both my swords and put my back against hers… well at least a few inches apart “Look guys we don’t want any trouble we just want to have a chat..”

“Shut it criminal!” He then made a gesture with his head and arrows began flying from the trees.

I heard Jubilee use her energy attacks, and all the arrows explode. She then rushes to the leader and grabs his face, before an audible ‘pew’, and blood flew everywhere.

I sheathed my swords and drew two of my guns pointed into the treetops, put on my eagle vision and began shooting, you could see blood slowly go down the trunks of the trees and see brain matter, skull fragments and other stuff collect at the roots of the trees.

The guards slowly recovered from the shock of seeing all the gore and finally getting into combat positions.

I saw Jubilee shaking a bit, then turn to the remaining guards. “Th-that was a warning shot! I’ll let you leave, but if you stay, I don’t p-promise your s-survival!”

I put away my guns and drew my swords. But not before snapping my fingers and getting a headache “Three… Two… One.” I counted before the armor of the guards all fell off, I smiled with a bit of a pained expression. “Heh I think you should run… makes it more enjoyable to find you in this dark forest.” I gesture to the forest around us.

“W-we know the f-forest like the b-back of our hand.” One of the guards said.

“Ha, trust me I know it better.” I said with a dark smile.

Jubilee shrugged, and blasted a tree, which fell instantly. “I don’t need to.”

“Oh, but Jubilee what’s the fun in easy prey? And I would hate to destroy this forest.” I said with a smile.

She rolled her eyes. “You think blowing up trees is easy? And I find being loud and powerful a fun tool for scaring ponies.”

“Well, you are probably right, but I meant it’s no fun exploding stuff, the fun stuff is to be loud one place and then be right behind the next guy… A hunt you can say, just more scarring and less literal hunting.” I said with a… Again, smile.

“I think they’re tryin’ to run.” Jubilee pointed out.

“Let them, when their armor fell off I also scrambled their sense of direction so they are basically just headless chickens.” I said as I saw a few small pools of liquid in front of the bushes. “ha, they peed themselves by us talking about how to kill them, ha!”

“Don’t say headless…” Jubilee mumbled, walked towards a boulder embedded in the ground, and sat down on it. “I didn’t mean to kill him…”

“Have you ever killed anyone?” I asked as I sat down on the ground in front of the boulder. “Other than that guy?”

She nodded. “I’ve killed some rapists and pedophiers, but never a guard just doing his duty. He didn’t know better…”

“Heh, I’ve killed one guy before I came here, That’s how living on the street is, always trying to survive just to live another day, I was on the street because my dad left before I was born and my mom was a raging alcoholic, so I escaped got a few jobs here and there, stole a few wallets, got caught once and being chased is not something you want to be, but after that he caught me and began beating me. I grabbed a well placed knife and stabbed and when I turned eighteen got a good job, an apartment and when I was twenty my own car and not long after got to this cool gaming convention, guess you know the rest.” I told her with a sad expression. “But I always remember that one time I killed someone even if it was in self defence.”

Jubilee sat still. Then, “That isn’t too far from my story… But that doesn’t matter right now. I still need to tell you the contract.” She straightened herself. “Lord Folteren is in… a bit of a pickle, for lack of a better word. During a void excercise, he was thrown into another Displaced’s world… It… got out of hand… Really out of hand. To say it simply, the other Displaced didn’t share Folteren’s point of view, and the two engaged.” Jubilee left it hanging, seeing my response.

“So a fight? And Folty wants help?” I looked at her. “Do you know who this other displaced is?”

Jubilee nodded. “Lee Connors, the Venom. The two engaged, and Folteren’s Scootaloo was severely injured. But, since Folteren attacked Lee Connors’s girlfriend, the two have come to a rivalry. Such a big rivalry, that their Displacer has ordered my sister, seven mares, and I to search for Displaced to help either side. A War, if you will. I myself will be there, preparing battlefields and giving refreshments… Anyway, Folteren asked me to look for you since Lee is bringing someone close to him… Darn! Ugh… Oh, right! He wants you to be a ‘commander’ in this war.”

I froze at the name Lee Connors “Lee Connors? Lee Con… Oh my god I have his token, just never met him, I got it from Max Caulfield and... commander? What did I do to deserve that title? I don’t know what to say about that, just wow!” I got up and stretched before pacing back and forth, just to keep my legs awake.

“Never heard of ‘Max’ before. I don’t even think Lee knows her yet… How’d she say she got it? And what you did to get that title was meet Folteren. He’s only met three Displaced other than Lee. You, Golden Freddy, and Pegasus. He gave this position to you because he knows you’re a pirate captain, and knows you personally. He won't trust anyone but you three in the war, other than his generals. Golden isn’t helping Folteren though, and we haven’t reached Pegasus.”

“Well the one Max is Displaced as is from Life Is Strange and she overpaid her merchant and he gave her two of every token to give away and do whatever with, she is also quite the sex machine, I mean she took the whole guard and many of the Displaced she met, also tried to seduce me but that didn’t work… well it was more of a flirt, I also caught her while she was in shower.” I said with a grin.

Jubilee gave me a deadpan, “I’m a teenage girl, I don’t want to hear about your sex life… or lack thereof.”

“Well, little lady, you asked me about her so I told you and shouldn’t you have learned that it’s not a good idea to burn someone who can look into your Displaced life.” I threatened.

She rolled her eyes, and flicked her wrist at a tree, that blew up instantly. “My Displaced life isn’t that big a deal. I’m the first Displaced my Displacer created, and I turned into a superhero. That’s it. Don’t threaten me with literally nothing. And I can kick ya outa helping your friend Folty.”

“Ok, sorry, I just don’t take well to insults, that’s all and I really hope we can be on a good footing just so that I at least can help Folty.” I said lifting my hands in a peace kind of gesture Man I hate my life on the street since that is where I got the anti insult thing from.

She took my hand, and shook it, “S’okay! I know what it’s like to be insulted daily! Family stincks! I’m sorry, I meant it as a joke… You gotta admit, it was a bit funny.” She giggled a bit.

“You mean the comment on my sex life? Meh, it’s not like I never had any here, a lover here and there nothing special and you are totally right about family… But I did still promise Folty to adopt Scoots if she doesn’t have any family.” I said with a sad smile at the end. “Would be nice to try and keep her from what I did and change a life.” The last part I muttered.

“Wish I had a guy like you bad on earth…” Jubilee mumbled, then shook her head. “And you better take better care of this Scoots than Folteren did with his!”

“I already promised to not take her on any raids and or other unsafe things and to be a good parent, though I will teach her to use hidden blades.” I said and added a sheepish grin at the end.

“You sound alot like Folteren… He trained his Scoots to use Lightsabers… Anyway, there any information you need?” Jubilee asked, “Folteren said you most likely wouldn’t. He even said I wouldn’t be able to say a word.”

“Ha, good ol’ Folty… Wasn’t there something about water at some point? And Folty will never be able to predict me.” I laughed.

“I think I’ll just go back and get some at home.” She mumbled. “Oh! By the way, Lee and Folteren’s tokens were shut off due to me time travelling here. Well, they’ve been down for a while, but you probably didn’t know that… Time travel…”

“Time Travel?! Did you meet the younger or older me at some point?! Ok, sorry for that... it’s just... Time Travel... wow.” I was a little sheepish.

“S’okay… And no, I’ve never met you in your past, or mine. This is the third time I’ve done it by myself. And I can’t go to earth without my Displacer.”

“I’ve always been interested in how they do it… Displacers I mean.” I said.

Jubilee smirked, “I’ve seen it a couple times. Not all Displacers do things the same, but what most do is that they locate a candidate who goes to comic-co, brony-con, game-con, etc. They find their victims in different ways, from destiny, personality checks, or plain randomness. My Displacer has a special way of handling his Displaced. After he learned his powers, he went through time and bought an orphanage. He paid some people to run it, and made sure they were the worst he could find. He would select one of them at a time, and beckon them to a con. There, he enchants an object to gain their attention, and when they touch it, they get sent to Equestria by the same enchantment. He did this to Folteren, me, and others like my friends the Elements of Insanity… Mostly Brutal and Fluttershout from that group…”

“Elements of Insanity? Wait, no, I won’t question it, wanna go into Ponyville… just not like I did the first time. But do you want to go into Ponyville or do you want to stay out here?” I asked.

“Ponyville.” She said quickly.
