Author's Notes:

Crossover with ElementBrigade's Hunters of the Wasteland. Contains spoilers of other story. By the end of this chapter the protagonist can be called upon by Displaced people. We get to see another side of the protagonist, the one that comes out when he's near someone who's as mature as he is.

I was thinking Why do I have to be the one to deal with it? Then I heard You are our ruler Master. The rulers always deal with this. Damn it. I ran to my hive. All of the bees were out there. I was extremely annoyed. "I was going to go to sleep. You know I don't do that that often anymore!" We're sorry Master. We need to assimilate the hive. They won't be turned as easily as our hive. When their queen gets damaged she covers herself with solid honey. We will be there to make sure that the other bees won't interfere. You are both allowed two followers. We are thinking you could use the invincible windigo and one of the bees you have. You could also wear the armor that makes us smarter and stronger in combat. That, is a good strategy. I put on the gold armor. All of my bees and others got pumped up. I hope it's more of a tornado than a dueling second and third. I wonder whether the bug nets work on something fifteen times my size? Time to find out.

When we got to the other hive I found a strange lack of horrifying bees. I then lowered my sunglasses... OH GOD IT’S BACK!!! I immediately put the sunglasses back on. The bees then looked like cartoon bees that a thirty year old artist would draw to not scare kids. My sunglasses protect me from fear... Seems legit. I swaggered into the hive without crushing bees beneath me. The queen in there looked way more OP than ours. I turned off voice chat quickly. She was called a 'Queen Bee Alpha'. I talked with her. She was a horrible conversationalist even after I turned on voice chat. She demanded that I surrender because I was 'no' match for her. She then saw that the bees following me were stronger and that I had a hornet and a windigo following me. She had two hornets. We went to an arena that was hollowed out.

I heard a... gong? I thought that bees were distanced from the sentient races. I guess not. The bees flew at me. I guess it isn’t a duel. I love it. I swung my blade at one of the hornets and it exploded. The other one came at me and I weakly swung. It went down to one health. I used one of the bug nets. In front of me it said;

Amazing. The Queen Bee Alpha looked at me with fear in her eyes. She was terrified. I sent my windigo to freeze her to the floor. I swung my blade at her over and over and over and over and over and over and over…(You get the point) Until she was at about 10% life. I felt a strange compulsion to use a bug net. I swung and that fucker grew. I got the bitch with a message of;

I also got a different treasure bag than the normal Queen Bee.

All of the bees were terrified of me when I sent out the Alpha. I was surprised when she talked to me, albeit with a slightly more respectful tone. “So you’re my new master? I just, had to fight someone with a magic bug net and a pet windigo. I guess you’re in command of my hive,” Damn it. I didn’t even want control of the first one! “Too bad,” I want you to do the same thing as the first hive. Get bodies for the normal bees that can talk, or have thought speakers, or something. I also want you to make a bridge, then make the two hives bigger to make them one. I made sure to make both the queen and my first hive hear. I then walked through the hive. There was another sword in a room. I picked it up. It was called Starlight Gate Summons an Equestrian Monster Hunter player... huh? A player(?) Memories then shot through me. Memories of me playing a game. A game called Terraria. Memories of a different game. A game called Monster Hunter. Memories of tentacles… ugh... the tentacles. Memories of what I was before this world. Memories of the merchant. Memories of my… human life. I heard something say; “My name is Vanessa , The Huntress and Hero of the wasteland.” I heard sniffling “I-If anyone needs me and Littlepip’s help in anything that needs saving. Give us a call and I will help to the best of our ability.” Hmmm… I guess I could use the help if I go after that damn worm.

I said “Hello, my name is Terrarian, or if you want an easy name, Terry. I’m about to go after a giant creature and could use the help,” I then saw a portal dump out a chick and a pony dressed up in survival gear.

The girl… Vanessa said “.....Who the hell are you and why did you summon us?”

“Are you saying you didn’t just hear my monologue? I fucking thought on that!” I wasn’t that happy my time was wasted by saying that.

“I was asleep at the time, Littlepip was the one that answered your calling kid.” I’m no kid!

“My name is Terrarian, or for short, as that pink pony called me, Terry. I summoned you because I was going to be going after a boss. I didn’t know whether or not I would be able to fight him alone, I’m sorry. As a sidenote, I spent ten thousand years in stone from my perspective. I`m no ancient soul but I remember something that will make me never want calamari ever,”

“True, but just because you’re that old doesn’t mean you’re that experienced.”

“I just got my memories back and it hurts just as much now as it did the first time to see my girlfriend dying because she ‘doesn’t fit the bill’ or to have my entire life be monitored by the government. I just got over having that shit happen to me! I don’t want to watch it again!” Fuck… I really hate my old life.

“Uh huh, so are you done complaining about how your life was or do you need me to hold your hand?” That was not nice…

“I’m good. I just needed a minute. In case you didn’t notice… we are in a giant beehive. Do you wanna go do what I called you here to do or do you want to talk? That does not look like everyday wear,”

“We can do both, also stuff I’m wearing is what I wear in the Wasteland.”

“Pretty much she made it out of the monsters we hunted.” I then noticed that the clothing Vanessa was wearing was made out of dead creature. Very Oriental, but still dead creature.

I manifested my bee armor. I grew my wings and commanded my bees to carry the two of them out of the hive and to the surface. “I have two giant bee hives under my control. Soon to be one. What do you mean, Wasteland?” Were they from the badlands?

“It used to be called Equestria, but after the war with the Zebra nation two hundred years ago it was pretty much a wasteland.” What the fuck? That… sucks.

“What about the Princess, couldn’t she do anything?” I remember seeing that she had wings. She could make it rain.

“She’s dead.” Well. Shit.

“My version of the Princess is in stone for one more day. She tried to make me stone with their magical macguffin. I used my interface to make myself on the Equestrian’s team. Now she’s enjoying being a statue,” By then we were out of the underground. The two of them looked around with unbridled(heh, horse puns) curiosity. Littlepip more so.

“Not impressed really.” I thought she was used to a desert. Damn women...nah.

I summoned Thermite. “We’re going to be going to an evil place. Everything there tries to kill you. We will find the worm there. I have to use explosives to get through. I just have enough. We will end up fighting a giant worm. He will be able to breathe fire. Hop on,” I gestured to the spot behind me.

“This better not take too long. Come on pip we have to help this greenhorn.”

“Fuck off,” Thermite took off and flew to the corruption biome. He flew faster than he usually did. It was around 50 mph. We got there pretty fast.

“I had better rides from a car from the wasteland, wouldn’t you agree pip?”

“It wasn’t that bad. At least we weren’t chased by a Deviljho during the ride.” I don’t want to know.

We landed on the ground. “Are you just fucking trying to piss me off? I’ve been trying to be hospitable!” Fuck. I got rid of the dragon beneath us.

“Kid this is how I am, if you don’t like my attitude or personality then screw you for all I care.” Well, shit.

I leapt into the chasm with a parting snipe of “You’re not my type...” I descended.

“Idiot, pip you know what to do.” She did something that will be mentioned in the other side.

The two of them dropped down. “How’s the drop? I can sense one of the shadow orbs is nearby. Step back a few feet please,” I placed the dynamite on the ground. I ran to where they were. The explosives exploded and opened up a room. I saw a glowing purple orb.

“You know you could just use a sonic bomb to get the stupid worm out.” Shows what she knows.

“There are three to four of these things around. I think even you would have trouble with four fully grown Eater of Worlds. They are massive. If four of them are around there is a good chance of getting gored or burnt,” I would not wish that upon someone with our crappy gear.

“Interesting…..this is going to be fun.” Vanessa said while smiling like a mad person. This is why I don’t talk to people. SEE!

I realized that I didn’t have a hammer. I quickly made one after making a crafting bench and placing it. I smashed the orb and A Chill actually went down my Spine while a message popped up in front of me. I saw Littlepip trying to read it. I also saw Littlepip’s fur raise a bit but I wasn’t sure if she even noticed it. The obligatory musket came out.

“Really? That was it?” Calm your tits, bitch.

... *Sigh*”No. I need to smash two more. There will be other loot from them. I hope I get a Vilethorn” That would be useful against the boss.

“Not the best loot I've seen so far.” … how did I get this person to be the first person I meet.

“It is good compared to my version of Equestria’s ranged weapons. It will get more advanced later on,” I said as I placed the second piece of dynamite.

“Sure it would.” Funny.

“There is a gun that can fire thousands of bullets in a minute,” I’m not giving this chick any of the aquatic family guns. I shudder to think of what would happen to the world.

“Tell me kid, can you cut through a mountain with just a swing of a sword?”

“Can you?” I hope not.. The ebonstone exploded. I got some more of it.

“Yes, I can.” She said as she pulled her sword out. “Unlike you greenhorn I’m a bit different then most beings from the wasteland.”

“The only reason I can’t is because the character I chose has rules. Eventually I can control time, dig as fast as I can fall, face eldritch abominations,” Fucking Moon Lord. I broke the second orb and got the Band of Starpower.

“Not impressed, I’ve seen better Displaced humans with better powers than yours.” Ok. Fine.

“My character isn’t about base powers. They grow more powerful via his tools. He isn’t meant to have amazing powers. He is meant to be innovative.” I bombed the third spot.

“That won’t do you any good if you fight against someone stronger than you.” Whatever.

I smashed the third orb and grabbed the Vilethorn that popped out. I then saw a message;

“Get ready. Here he comes,” The ground was rumbling. They tensed up.

“About time, Pip get to high ground and snipe them when you get a clear shot at them.” The Eater then came up and under me. I got slightly singed.

I heard a gasp. I was seeing the inside of a creature. It was quite disturbing. I felt the windigo attack the worm. A very bad thing happened. A *crack* sounded out. I saw a bullet go through the section I was in. It popped the part. The two worms went elsewhere. I saw the two of the girls staring at me. “What? You just made it worse, now there’s two of them,”

“Pip, hit them with a little bit more force.” I was using my thorn and firing at the worm just below me. It was getting rid of the parts.

“That won’t work. Use explosives or piercing through the front,” I rolled to the side just as the worm came up. I felt my windigo attacking the smaller one. It finished it off.

“I know, why did you think I told pip to hit it with a little bit more force?” That really sounds like she means a bigger bullet.

“Ok… the worm is coming up directly beneath you,” Vanessa rolled out of the way without a question. The worm came up where she used to be. The green flames missed completely.

“Think you can eat me huh? Well then eat this, yeah jerk!” Vanessa pulled out her sword which was now covered in a cold mist, and split the worm in half.

I got a treasure bag. I also saw that Littlepip and Vanessa had them as well. They looked confused. “Everyone who fights a boss gets loot,”

“It better be good loot, if not then I’m selling it for caps when I get back home.” We left. They did not look happy when I called the bees. They were flown up. I walked with them in the direction of my place.

“The loot that I know you’ll get are shadow scales and demonite. You could probably sell the demonite but you can make armor with the scales if you made armor with scales of things from MH. I also know you’ll get a scarf. The scarf isn’t useless. In the game it made it so that 17% of damage was gone, even after a long time. It will also drop some gold coins, which will probably change to whatever currency you have back home,” I don’t know about the other stuff.

“Caps are the currency in wasteland. And seeing how this stuff isn’t useful to us, you can keep it for all we care.” Ok then. They didn't give them to me though.

We got back to my tree. I led them inside. “You live in a giant tree? Seriously do you want to get hit by lightning?” I never had that problem before.

I led them downstairs to a room that I just discovered a day ago. It was a training room. It had some dummies in one end and a training circle in another. It was even reinforced with stone so it couldn’t catch fire. “Now you, you have been calling me a rookie ever since we met… care to test that?” I took out my sword. I found out when I was scrolling through the chat from before I was imprisoned, there were two commands with perspective of time. ‘Terrarian Body Time Perspective 0.1’ and ‘Terrarian Body Time Perspective 1.0 when I was released. I tested it before and I could change it. It was the equivalent of cheats.

“Normally I would take you up on that offer, but I would have to decline on that until after I take care of some…..important stuff in the wasteland.” Ok.

“I only have a few questions that came up, one, what the fuck’s a Displaced, two, what is your sword and how did it bring you here, three, how can I make my own? Sidenote, do you want a pet timberwolf beta?” I want to be able to meet people and it’s nice to be nice.

“Displaced are humans that are sent to Equestria by the Merchant when you buy an item or outfit from him. My sword was a parting present from my friend Samantha, and how it got me here because you summoned me with it seeing how it’s my token.” She said as she pulled up Starlight Gate. “Any Displaced can make one really. Just pick an item, leave a message in, and toss it into the Multiversal Void.”

I grabbed the sunglasses off of my face. I pushed some of my magic into it and stated “I am Terrarian, fighter of strong creatures and ally to any. Call upon me if you need my assistance or just need to talk,” I then threw them legs first in front of me and a tiny portal opened up. The sunglasses flew in. Two more portals opened up. My sunglasses flew out in front of me and landed on my face. Another pair landed on Vanessa’s face. She looked shocked. “Also, how do I send you home?”

“Just cancel the contract we have.” Ok.

“Vanessa our contract is canceled..." She wasn't gone. "Vanessa our contract is through..." Again. "Vanessa our contract is complete, call me when you want to do the sparring.” I saw her get eaten by a portal.

“You could’ve just said cancel contract dumbass.” Fuck you too. She was gone. I thought back to what I thought was happening. Turns out I'm not in a game... huh. I guess the merchant sent us to other worlds with unsecure superpowers. I noticed it was still sunrise... huh. I thought the sun would keep moving. Weird. I thought on Vanessa. At the end she seemed... kinder I guess. She wasn't 'rookieing' me as much. She was doing it more when I was denying it than when I revealed I was a new Displaced. Huh. I'll think on it more later.

I opened the worm bag first. It contained ten gold coins, a Worm Scarf 47 Shadow Scales, 200 Demonite Ore, some healing potions, 50 Hearts of Shadow, 75 Worm Essence and a lot of Ebonstone Blocks. I went to the obligatory work bench. There were a lot of new recipes. I made a King Eater of Worlds Minion with 240 ebonstone, 3 Hearts of Shadow and 24 Worm Essence. I took him deeper into the forest. I released him. Hello Master. He had a suave 'voice'. What is your task? "Go as far underground as possible but stay away from the Underworld. Create some loyal Eater of Worlds, get them to create devourers. I want a worm army. That is your mission. Yes Master. I also created a Great Devourer Minion with 60 ebonstone, a Heart of Shadow and 6 Worm Essence. It was smaller than the Eater of Worlds but still quite big. Master? "I want you to spy on the sentient races. Any time the creatures make a decision I want too know about it," Yes master. "Good,"

I went inside. I felt all of the creatures I could control, the timberwolves on special tasks, thee one was even the leader of the pack I sent him to. He became an alpha. The windigo army I could control without the crown is looking up. I did see a recipe in there for something called a 'changeling'. I'll check it out tomorrow. The bees had finished the bridge and are now connecting the hives. I drifted into a sleep.
