I walked through the portal from my Equestria to Gales. I walked through his apartment and noticed the room we found no use for had been converted into a bedroom for Lisa. Shrugging I opened the trap door and flew out of Sky Sanctuary in the direction of Ponyville in search of my two displaced friends.

Spotting Gale and Lisa laying on a hill having a picnic I wondered if I should interrupt their time together. Deciding against it I slowly flew down to a cliff overlooking them, making sure Gale didn't screw anything up with this. Looking down at them I noticed that Gale was struggling to find something to talk about. "Oh come on man, I'm supposed to be the clumsy and antisocial one in this friendship." Lisa was just looking out at the passing clouds, not noticing Gales distress.

A lightbulb appeared above my head as I thought of something to help him out. I flew while cloaked at the approaching clouds that were yet to come into Lisa's view. I cracked my neck and summoned two moon blades. Zooming around a cloud I began to cut off bits and pieces until I was happy with the result. The now bird shaped cloud floated off towards the couple. I quickly dashed over to see if it had caught their attention, it did.

Gale and Lisa were both looking at it with happy expressions, Gale relieved that he finally had something to talk about. Smirking I shot back and forward, making more shapes and going back to see their reaction. At one point I made a cloud the shape of a wedding ring just to mess with them, oh my God when Gale tried to explain it to her it was hilarious.

Soon I only focused on making the clouds. When I was about to fly up again I heard someone clear their throat behind me. Turning my head nervously I saw Lisa giving me a curious look and Gale mouthing 'thank you.'

"Um...hey there, Lisa..." I said with a nervous laugh. She just tapped her foot impatiently. "Sigh...what gave it away?"

"There was a cloud shaped perfectly like a Pug." And I am still proud of that work of art to this day. I rubbed my arm slightly embarrassed. "Want to explain what you were doing?" Gale just looked at me and shook his head frantically.

"I was coming to see you guys when I saw you spending some time together, so I thought I'd make it a little more interesting." Gale just gave me a thumbs up at my quick thinking. Lisa seemed tried to read my mind, but just took a surprised expression.

"Why can't I read your mind?" I just gave her an exhausted look. "Oh, right, the machine thing." She rubbed the back of her head nervously then just looked at me angrily. "Wait a minute I can read Gales mind."

"Yes, but his body is different. He can turn into an organic being therefore he shares similar energy to a living thing, I don't, I give off a different kind of energy. That's how your mind reading works, you tap into people's energy waves."

"And you know this how?"

"I visited a few places in the multiverse, speaking of which..." I pulled out the broken portal and placed it down.

"Is...is that?" She asked with slight disbelief.

"Yep, managed to find it in a darker place in the void, although it seems to be missing a few parts." Before I could continue the sentence I was brought into a hug by the tall girl.

"Thank you." I smiled and patted her back. She broke away from the hug and looked at the damaged gateway. "How is it still intact?"

"It seems Symbol may have done some other things when he defeated Xram." We all turned to see Marx coming out of a portal.

Lisa's expression became depressed. "Oh Symbol..." Gale walked over to her and gave her a hug.

"So Marx, what are you doing here this time?"

"What?"

"Every time you show up shit goes down, so what's wrong now?" He just stared at me wide eyed. He cleared his throat and walked over to the damaged gateway.

"I'm here to tell you something about how to fix this." Lisa perked up and looked at Marx with hope.

"What do we have to do?" Marxist shook his head.

"Not what you have to do, what he has to do." He pointed his finger at me.

"What? Why me?" He walked over to me and placed a hand in my shoulder.

"With the places that the missing portal shards are none of us can enter because we are too well known throughout the multiverse, we'd instantly be noticed and targeted by powerful displaced. You however are new to the multiverse and you have more agility and speed than the rest of us."

"So what you're saying is that I have to wander aimlessly around the multiverse until I find all the shards?" I asked in an annoyed tone.

"I'll give you time to think about it." Marx disappeared and a portal to my world opened up beneath me, causing me to fall in.

"DAMNIT MARX!!!"

A few days later, Third Person POV

Marx, Author, Lisa, Gale, the mane six and Luna stood around Metal as he looked at the portal before him that would lead to the central hub of the multiverse. Lisa placed a hand on Metals shoulder.

"You don't have to do this Metal." He took her hand off his shoulder and patted her cheek.

"Like I said the other day, I hate seeing cute girls sad." She gave a happy expression and hugged him. Luna walked up and kissed him on the lips.

"You better come back to us, you hear me?" She stated in a firm voice. Metal nodded and hugged her. Rainbow walked up and repeat the process. As he was about to walk into the portal he was stopped by Author.

"I would suggest finding a companion to join you on your quest when you get there, the shards could be in the void or another multiverse, remember that." Metal nodded and he made another quick check of what he had in his storage. He had a everything he could ever need. Looking back to his friends Gale nodded to him. Metal took in a breath and jumped into the portal.

Author's Notes:

If you'd like Metal to visit your universe when the spinoff is released please PM me with the details and I will see if I can manage a crossover.

The spinoff will not necessarily affect the main story, hence why it is a spinoff and not a sequel.

Also remember to check out my latest displaced story Ashes In The Wind.

That's all for today my loyal readers and followers.
