Chapter 17
Making Plans
“So, let me get this straight,” Tia said to me, disappointment heavy in her voice, “Being a Displaced makes it so that if you are needed for whatever reason, you are summoned to a different version of Equestria.”
“Yes,” I replied.
“And you were summoned twice.”
“Yes.”
“Both times I got worried.”
“I’m sorry, but yes.”
“And according to the Spirit of the Tree of Harmony, your doppelganger is wishing to spread a deadly form of Chaos through these Equestrias.”
“Yes.”
“And he’s limited to any Equestria you’ve been to or have summoned a Displaced from.”
“Yes, unless he was properly banished.”
“Then why summon or be summoned if you allow such evil to move?”
I sighed from my strange prison (so much rope binding me that I looked like an overgrown ball of yarn). “If I had to name three reasons, here they are. One: If we needed help for something beyond us, we can get said help. Two: If I’m need to help someone, I can help. And Three: If I didn’t, I’m sure that wouldn’t guarantee his interference.”
Tia looked at me with confusion. “I can understand the first two, but what do you mean about the last one.”
“He, she, or it said that he couldn’t do that, but I’m sure that he could send others in his stead,” I answered, shifting in my prison. “Now, if you don’t mind, could you release me from my...prison and we can work our wedding invites to the various National Leaders, VIPs, and Displaced I’ve met.”
“The wedding invites...and any other business...can come after a little cuddle session.” She smiled as she unraveled the rope.
I’m gonna stop writing right there.
Anyway, skipping past the cuddle session to my bedroom where I was preparing wedding invitations for any Displaced I encountered and will encounter. My Primary concern, however, was with Sora. Since Nisled wasn’t dealt with in his Equestria, I had to at least warn him. With his invitation, I send a letter detailing Nisled and other things.
To Whom It May Concern,
I have a number of things to say in this letter. As Screwball may have told you, they are important. The most important parts first, and the last are not as important.
First, shortly after you left I was summoned by another Displaced and I had learned that I have a doppelganger. He is from an alternate version of MY Equestria, an Equestria where “my” goal is to become Infamous, rather than be a hero. He is a powerful user Chaos user, but he is limited to four elements (smoke, neon, video, and concrete), and can’t harm his own Equestria. You can thank the Beast and his version of Discord for that. With his powers of Chaos, he is resistant to Death (and I mean it, he was beheaded and he just reattached it).
Going along with that, he has a desire to spread pure, unfiltered Chaos throughout the multiverse. It’s not like what Discord does, as it is more along the lines of deadly rather than prank worthy (in hindsight, the literal Medusa hairstyle Discord gave to a Royal Guard was more funny than dangerous). However, he is limited to the Equestrias I’ve either been to or summoned other Displaced from...So, yeah...You’ve got trouble either coming your way, or it already came...so I’m not expected to have a warm welcome if I’m summoned...if you even summon me.
With this in mind, I have a few things to suggest when dealing with him. First off, do NOT engage him unless you are confident you can handle him. Second off, keep the Element Bearers away from him, he can and will kill them without a second thought. Third off, since killing him won’t work, Banishment is best procedure, but not with the Elements of Harmony. I can either send you the tool to do it, or you can summon me to handle the device.
Second off, I’m sorry if what I said and did hurt you emotionally. It wasn’t my place to try to help you when you didn’t need it. If you wish to heal, it is something you must do on your own.
Third off, I’ve gotten a bit stronger since I’ve last seen you. I now have the powers of electricity and (dare I even write it, knowing who I’m writing two) Darkness. The electricity I got from my Twilight’s doppelganger (a cybernetic alicorn that can use electricity and has a few ray sphere abilities) and the Darkness I go from Vanitas, a dark keyblade wielder.
To ease your mind about my powers of Darkness that I’ve obtained, when I was with Vanitas, the Spirit of the Tree of Harmony gave me access to Harmony magic. It is something that I can mix with my natural powers to have interesting spells and it also prevents corruption from the Darkness that I possess.
After dealing with my doppelganger, perhaps a sparring match would be in order. I can’t wait to see how you react to Noise.
And Last off, as you had mentioned wanting one, I’ve sent a picture of Celestia and I with the wedding invitation. Just be warned, Screwball may have enchanted the picture, letter, and/or invitation that may cause strange punishment for calling my fiance the nicknames you call your...solar diarch. If you end up being dressed up as Neku Sakuraba as one of the forms of punishment, send me a picture back.

After writing out the invitations and my letter to Sora, I had the ones I knew sent with Screwball. I then got into bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, I found a scroll addressed to me. Inside the scroll was Sora’s response and a picture of a male version of Tia in a frilly, pink dress, of all things.
I have sent word of your doppelganger to the entirety of the Equestrian Keyblade Army as well as the Royal and Night Guards. They have orders not to engage unless left with no other option, but to send word to me ASAP. Should he appear in our Equestria, I will confront him personally. Should my power prove inadequate to banish him from my world, I will call upon you for aid. That said, should you receive a summons from me, be prepared to fight from the moment your foot lands upon the soil. Explanations will have to come later.
As for your actions and words regarding my past... look. I'm sorry. I always get a bit depressed whenever that event comes up, and that depression turns into rage if anyone pushes too hard. Or at all. Just... don't worry about it. Let's put that bit of the past behind us. Hakuna Matata and all that jazz.
Darkness, huh? Well, I wish you luck. Darkness is a tricky one to handle, but if you've got the Tree of Harmony's blessing, I can't really argue. Just be careful. As for sparing... sure. Why not? I'm always looking for a young whippersnapper to put in his place. Let's see how lightning and darkness stand up to Light, fire, ice, lightning, time, air, gravity, healing, and I'm sure you get the picture. Good luck.
And now, having finished laughing my yay off at Sol's reaction to seeing himself as a mare (fair warning, he popped a wingie), I would like to congratulate you and Celestia. I would be honored to attend. Just summon me a day or so before. As for the punishments, I've lived with Sun Butt and Lunatic for over a thousand years. If I feared prank-themed retribution for calling them names like that, Equestria would have never had the 20 Year Prank War. (Which I won, by the way.) I look forward to both your wedding and whatever retribution Screwball's enchantments may inflict upon me.
Also, here's a photo of Solaris in a frilly pink dress. Create as many copies as you can, and spread them to every Displaced you meet. My and Luna's goal is to not allow him to travel anywhere in the multiverse and be taken seriously.

Sora’s letter got a two word response on a small scrap of paper.
Show off.
From there, I decided to work out a plan of having all Royal guards of all branches (Solar, Lunar, Eagle, and the soon to be established Stellar) that are Conduits brought together for creating the Bio-Guards...And yes, that is a play off the term “Bio-Terrorist” from inFAMOUS: Second Son.
Of course, even with such additions, I was sure that trouble would happen that I would need to interfere.
