Chapter 7 - Meeting Namiro, the changeling Je'Daii

    Leo was walking around Whitetail woods the day after Spike’s ‘quest’ when she found an empty clearing. This would do nicely. She thought walking into the middle of the clearing.

    “Since I am somewhat responsible for all the Digimon in this world I might as well take up the mantle of a Digimon sovereign.” Leo said marking the area before the wind started to kick up and the sky grew dark. “This does not look good…” She said before taking a defencive stance.

    A dark emerald glow lit up through some of the nearby clouds, concentrating in a spot just above the clearing as it began to condense into a relatively small sphere of green energy. With a deafening burst the sphere was launched into the clearing with several black spheres trailing behind it. The green one shifted into the form of a pony-like creature just before it skipped a few times across the ground and landed in front of Leo.

    The other five darker spheres had a bit more generous of a landing as they condensed into shadow-creatures that were vaguely humanoid in shape with red glowing eyes being the only indication of a face.

    “Ok, I have some kind of injured pony that just materialized at my feet and shadow monsters surrounding us… I can guess that I’m not going to be able to walk away from this am I?” Leo asked no one in particular.

    The creatures, silent as they were, drew several small metal objects from what appeared to be cloaks made entirely of darkness. With several hisses the objects brought crimson blades of energy into existence.

    “Ok… I feel like I walked into a Star Wars convention now…” Leo said before proceeding to poke the downed pony with a foot until he woke up.

    The tough chitin on the pony’s exterior didn’t seem to do much in response for several seconds. “You’re… not entirely wrong there…” The pony-creature groaned as he slowly pulled himself up from the dirt. “I’d be happy to explain… but as you can see…” He panted a little as he stood to his full height of at least a good eight feet tall, “Five against one really hasn’t been easy on me.”

    “Ouch, well what's your side? and who are they?” Leo said stepping out from behind him. “If you're a good guy then I might help you, if not I’m flying out of here.” she added teasingly.

    “Well… they’re Sith Phantoms if that helps…” He replied as he drew his own saber hilt, lighting up a green energy blade while he got back into a battle stance.

    “then I shall help you young jedi.” Leo said trying to imitate Yodas voice before materializing a Fireball in each of her hands.

    The tall pony-like creature dashed towards one of the closer phantoms, locking his blade against the crimson one the phantom brandished as it tried a vertical cut. The four other phantoms began their charge against the two fighters.

    “Not so fast little shadows~” Leo sang before throwing her fireballs at the two furthest phantoms causing them to explode before charging the remaining two that were going after the pony-creature.

    The two remaining phantoms turned their attention towards Leo, one raised its right hand as lightning began to arc away from it to give cover to the last phantom.

    “Ooh! trying to use lightning on me? nice try!” Leo shouted flapping her wings and taking to the air causing the lightning to miss. “Now eat my Mach punch!” She shouted dive bombing the phantom that tried to use lightning on her while punching it in the face.

    The other phantom that tried to use the lightning as cover brought its saber to bear as it swung the angrily-humming blade at her.

    The pony-creature seemed a bit more confident now that it was fighting one-on-one against the phantom that he had clashed with. “So, I hope you don’t mind… but… uh… what are you?” He called to Leo as he brought his blade across the wrist of the phantom he was dueling.

    Leo dived to the side to avoid being hit by the red Lightsaber before replying, “I’m a Coronadramon, a one of a kind digimon.” she said as the phantom that tried to strike her accidently destroyed its partner that Leo had knocked down moments before. “You could say I’m the first of my kind, as well as the unintentional creator of all the digimon on this world. Blame Discord.”

    With a quick flourish an emerald blade emerged from the back of the phantom the pony-creature was dueling. “Who?” He asked as the phantom faded away.

    “Discord, the spirit of chaos. be glad you haven't met him, he’s a jerk. Tried using his magic on me causing it to rain digi-eggs all over equestria.” Leo replied before jumping over the last phantom and kicking it in the back.

    As the phantoms faded the strange, giant, bug-pony creature began to look around. “I get the feeling that I must not be in my Equestria then… do you happen to know what Changelings are?”

    “Oh, another displaced then?” Leo stated, “No, I don't believe this is your Equestria, If it was I would have noticed giant bipedal ponies around and i know what a changeling is, but you don’t look like any changelings I have ever seen in the show.” she added.

    “Show?” The changeling asked with a confused look.

    “You didn't know? where I came from before coming here this world was a show called ‘My little pony: Friendship is magic’.” Leo said while shrugging.

    “Wait a minute… that was the logo on the plush toy I bought for my sister’s birthday at the convention…” The changeling said as he looked over at the digimon. “So… this whole world is based off of that show?”

    “Nope! Multiverse theory, I don't really know how to explain it. But dang you didn't notice? I wish Doctor Who was here this is hilarious!” Leo said, bursting out laughing.

    “I’m familiar with Multiverse theory… but I’ve never seen an episode of the show, I saw the plush and thought my sister would like it.” He put a hand to his chin. “Then again, I’m not too surprised… the Celestia and Luna from my world are displaced as well…”

    “They are? that’s interesting… at least you know you’re safe then. By the way what’s your name? I’m Leo by the way.” Leo said while extending a paw.

    The changeling smiled a little. “My name is Namiro, I’m a Changeling King.” He explained as he completed the handshake. His eyes darted away a little as he let the handshake go a little early. “I’m actually a tad worried about my hive back home… I don’t even know what happened while I was trapped in that nightmare.” He cast a sidelong glance at the digimon. “How did you bring me here anyway? Wasn’t the whole thing about ‘displaced’ due to being summoned by a token? I haven’t sent one out… I know that much.”

    “Yeah… I don’t know how you got here but I could help you if you want.” Leo offered. “After all, I could ask my dad to send us to your world.” She said before pulling out her digivice.

    Namiro rubbed the back of his head a little bit. “Well… if what happens while I’m on other worlds stays roughly consistent… then I’m normally pulled away from my world when there isn’t a major event going on that I need to worry about. So I guess a little bit of a break wouldn’t hurt…”

    “If you say so… but if you plan on hanging out here for a bit you might want to disguise yourself as something with four legs, unless you want to cause a panic. After all the only thing with two legs the ponies in this area would trust besides centaurs would probably be me.” Leo said while eyeing Namiro.

    He seemed to think about it for a moment before his entire form was engulfed in emerald flames. Once the flames cleared a much shorter earth-pony stallion stood in the same stance. “I’m not used to quadrupeds… so I’d rather not re-learn to walk… Do the ponies of your world already know about Displaced as well?”

    “No… and I hope they never do. I don't want to be swarmed by weirdos and Twilight is bad enough as it is… if she finds out I’m not simply some new species but also from another world… I don't think I could avoid getting dissected.” Leo said before shivering.

    A near-sinister smile seemed to curl up on the disguised changeling’s muzzle. “How… uh… Oh how do I put this… How sensitive is your Twilight?”

    “What kind of sensitive?” Leo asked nervously.

    “On the Equestria that I’m from… I have an open relationship with my Twilight, nothing intimate on that yet but she’s working up her confidence, I was thinking as a special way to at least get these heroes to know about us without dissecting you… I could play up the fact that I think I’m still on my world with the Twilight I’m in a relationship with.” Namiro explained. “I wouldn’t be too vulgar or anything like that, just a bit of harmless fun if she gets really flustered when talking about more mature topics.”

    “Well that would be hilarious, but I would rather not shatter what's left of the timeline thank you.” Leo said.

    “Okay, well… There’s a few things I’m going to need explained then… Has the Crystal Empire already appeared on this world?”

    “No, Cadance and Shining Armor haven’t even gotten married yet.” Leo said raising an eyebrow. “why do you ask?” Leo added out of curiosity.

    “Mostly due to the last major event I remember being when Sombra invaded the Crystal Empire with… well… less than an army of Sith.”

    “Okay… so your Sombra is a sith lord, never would’ve thought of that… at least my Sombra won’t have an army unless… yeah, not going to jinx it.” Leo said.

    Namiro nodded. “So, did you need help with anything?” The brown earth stallion asked. “I did find out from one of my Mentors that the Displaced are typically summoned for assistance.”

    “Unless my dad decided to call you without warning me, which he most likely did not. The only reason I would need help is finding most of the digi-eggs that are scattered around Equestria. that or the force wanted you to meet me for some reason so it sent you here somehow…” Leo said while scratching her head.

    “Perhaps I was sent here to relax a bit… know any good places to do so?”

    “Unless you tell me what you like to do to pass the time, I don't think so.” Leo said. “But if you want we could go to sugarcube corner.” Leo said before facepalming. “I forgot, you're a changeling, you eat emotions, not food…”

    Namiro gave a nervous chuckle as he rubbed the back of his head. “I can eat regular food just fine, it just gets converted differently than what normal beings are used to… so I don’t get any nutrition from it whatsoever… and uh… for what I usually do to pass the time… it tends to be voluntary harvesting of emotions for my Queen’s hive.”

    “Ok… and now I’m worried for my chastity…” Leo said.

    “You don’t need to be worried about that, I’m not into BDSM or anything like that.” Namiro explained as he leaned up against a nearby tree. “Aside from harvesting love though… I guess I just meditate and train with The Force… huh… I guess I really did lose a lot of my hobbies after coming to Equestria…”

    “Well i'm up for training if you want to do that. I don't really have much to do around here yet, now that i think about it… the jedi had a council, why not start setting up a council of our own?” Leo asked excitedly.

    “The Jedi Council was just made up of a small group of masters who tended to get the others to listen due to seniority than anything else… Though most of my organization on my Equestria is meant to follow the even older Je’Daii order.” He explained. “Yes, I understand they sound the same, but there’s actually an apostrophe after the ‘e’ and two ‘i’s on the end. It’s a different organization than the one most Star Wars fans know about.”

    “Sounds interesting, i don’t know the difference but then again I wasn’t that hard core of a Star Wars fan. i spent most of my time watching Digimon.” Leo shrugged.

    “Neither was I… I just happened to find out about the organization through a Wiki made specifically for Star Wars lore. The Jedi and the Je’Daii are different because the Jedi that were part of the decline of the Republic only believed that the Light side of the force was the way to live by… while the Je’Daii on the other hand believed that there was no light or dark side… just The Force.”

    “These Je’Daii sound quite wise.” Said a voice from behind Namiro.

    He nodded a little. “They were… had it not been for a splinter faction within their order that began to crave power then they would’ve likely achieved lasting peace in the galaxy.”

    “I see, then I think my daughter would be a great ally to you then young one.” Said the voice.

    Namiro shrugged. “Much of my world has actually learned to balance hedonism with temperance… or whatever word is required to mean that they practice in little bits… Anyway, I’d love to give her a tour sometime… when I know that I’m not just going to bring her into that nightmare I’m currently trapped in on my world.”

    “You seem awfully calm young one… and I could send you back there and destroy that nightmare at the same time if you ask.” The voice said.

    “Of course I’m calm… The Force rewards patience and understanding, now… if you would be so kind as to step out to where you can be seen, I can properly introduce myself to you.” Namiro replied.

    “As you wish.” Said the voice before its presence vanished and a humanoid shaped being in a blue cloak materialized in front of Namiro. “My name is Crux, it’s nice to see you and my daughter are getting along.” He said.

    “Well, I am a fairly amiable changeling. I tend to get along with those who don’t try to kill me.” Namiro replied with a broad smile. “What kind of things do you guys do for fun around here, I honestly could use a small vacation from the stress that has become ‘managing a hive’...”

    “I would say I feel bad for you but I honestly don't… It’s nice to spend time with family… if only I could spend more time with the only member left of mine.” Crux said in a somber tone.

    “Well, I’m here right now, we could find something to do that would give you guys time to spend together… hmm… now that I think about it I believe I want some of those toothsome delectables from the absolutely divine bakery in town.” Namiro explained as he began walking towards town.

    “Why not, my other displaced should be fine for a while.” crux said before taking Leo’s hand and walking with her after Namiro.

    “As a small note of importance…” Namiro started as he continued walking. “I have been cut off for the most part from The Force while I’m on other displaced worlds until a source that can tap into it can be established… so while I’m here there is a bit of feeding at some point that I’ll have to do.”

    “Hahaha! You are too calm for your own good, have you not noticed the air around here? when you were dumped into this world a connection was forcibly established.” Crux said.

    “I understand that, but the connection itself is too weak for me to either keep fed or semi-effectively use my Force abilities.”

    “Well if you feed off of anyone at least make sure it’s not one of the main six, can’t change the timeline.” Leo said.

    “I don’t need to be physically intimate with anyone in order to feed, Leo, it just tends to be easier that way since such a connection produces the most concentrated and sweetest of love. But trust me, the last time I fed on the energy Pinkie Pie gave off… I thought I was going to grow a cavity somehow.” The disguised changeling replied. “I’ll only have the sweets from Sugarcube corner…”

    “Ok, since that has been cleared up let's go!” Leo said before spreading her wings and taking off.

    Namiro sighed a little. “Earth stallion disguise, remember? Not able to fly without breaking disguise.” He muttered a little to himself afterward, “though perhaps she’s just flying ahead to let her friends know about the mutant pony who’s coming.”

    “Don’t worry about that, I have it covered.” Crux said before teleporting them in front of Sugarcube Corner, and making a brown cloak materialize around Namiro before anypony could see him. “Don’t take off the cloak, it will make them think you’re one of leo’s friends by wearing it, and it comes with the extra feature of nobody being able to see what you look like on the inside.” He instructed.

    “I do know a few digimon… I mean, I haven’t really tried to change into any since it hasn’t been something I needed to do… but I could turn into a Renamon or something like that…”

    “Not a good idea, the only digimon they trust is me. seeing as all the other digimon are wild ones that try and attack them I can understand why.” Leo said having caught up on them.

    He sighed a little. “Fine… I’ll be a bit slow about it but a feral pony won’t be too big of a deal then.” The changeling replied as he tried to keep the glow of his shifting flames to a very dim color.

    “Now we just have to avoid Rarity and we should be fine.” Leo said before leading Namiro and Crux into Sugarcube corner. “Hey Pinkie! I brought a few friends that decided to stop by for a visit!” She said as soon as the three of them walked into the bakery.

    Namiro brought the hood on his cloak back to reveal his brown earth pony visage and his dark green mane. “I’ve been travelling quite a bit and Leo was telling me this place is great for getting delicious food.”

    “Indeed it is! But you already knew that didn't you?” Pinkie said appearing in front of Namiro.

    “Well, hearsay and rumor.” He replied with a smile as he took a small step back. “Any open seats for a weary traveller?”

    “Sure, I already knew you three were coming. Your private booth is over here.” Pinkie said leading them to a corner with a curtain. “And you need to talk more often when in town Crux, It's like you’re a ghost with how quiet you are!” She added before leaving.

    Namiro sat down at the booth with a small sigh. “So frustrating on four hooves…” He muttered. “I’m still confused on how some worlds can deal with it.”

    leo shrugged, “they manage, I don't know how either but they do.” she then turned to Crux “By the way, could you give Namiro a copy of my token?” she asked.

    “Sure.” Crux said before handing Namiro a digivice.

    The disguised changeling took the digivice which morphed into a lime green D-power digivice upon accepting its new owner. “...Second generation of the digivices, right?”

    “No, thats a generation three digivice. It might work out, now we just have to get you a digimon!” Leo said before Pinkie delivered food to their booth.

The changeling’s eyes seemed to light up a little. “You mean like Renamon? I forget what the pre-digivolution stages are…”

    “Eh, it's possible.” Leo said before chowing down on the pile of sugar cookies that was left in front of her.

    Namiro took one of the sugar cookies as well, “What kinds of things went on since you got here then? Maybe we could swap stories.”

    “Sure, and I can give you some information about the show to possibly help you in the future. unless the timeline is dead there…” Leo said before scarfing down the last of the cookies.

    “I wouldn’t assume that my world follows a particular timeline… Chrysalis died on my world so I don’t know if that changed anything too much… let’s see… the queen of my hive is Shining Armor’s daughter…” He began.

    “Shining has a daughter!?” Leo said.

    “Yep, the last royal egg Chrysalis had lain before she died.” Namiro replied with a smile. “Fortunately Ponyville’s been keeping the hive fed ever since we moved out there.”

    “So you made peace between the ponies and the changelings? yeah that and Chrysalis having a daughter are so far the only changes to the timeline i have noticed so far in your world.” Leo said.

    “Well…” Namiro started hesitantly. “...Sombra’s still alive in my world…”

    “A-and that is bad… that is VERY bad…” Leo stammered. “He was supposed to die in the original timeline…” She exclaimed in a very worried tone.

    “He hasn’t resurfaced since he was defeated in the Crystal Empire on my world… but… I’d have to say I’m definitely a bit curious as to what he’s been up to ever since his master pulled him out of the line of fire when Rin helped defend the city.” Namiro replied pensively.

    “Okay, PINKIE! check please!” Leo called before turning to Namiro. “We are going back to your world ASAP, I fear that something may be going on that you are unaware of and that’s never a good sign.” She told him before paying Pinkie and leading Namiro and Crux to the edge of ponyville.

    “I was locked into a nightmare… how wouldn’t there be something going on that I didn’t know about? Something is obviously going on and the fact I was sent here instead of immediately woken up means it’s something that, for now, those in my world can handle.”

    “Well good luck you two, and may the force always guide you Namiro.” Crux said before conjuring up a portal to Namiro’s world.

    Namiro nodded. “And may you find light in even the deepest of darkness.”

    Crux noded, a noticeable tear running down his hidden face. “Yes, and may the darkness never conquer your light…” He said before vanishing.

    “Oh boy… I think you may have accidentally said something that upset him…” Leo said before jumping through the portal.

    “I think it was more a phrase to keep him motivated… it seemed like something that he could use.” Namiro replied as he stepped in behind her
