Author's Notes:

Second half of my crossover with DarkSpider's Spider in Equestria.
Again, yes there is a lot of dialogue.

Regular chapters begin again after this.
Thank you for reading and I hope you are enjoying it.

“Sure, though I guess I don't need my cover anymore since I can't blend in here.” He then took off his hood and lowered his scarf to his neck.

“I guess you really are another human.” I said with a small laugh to myself as I looked over my dark haired guest. “I think I was expecting something weird with all the coverings.”

“Well I do wear it so no one knows what I look like back home, so I guess that's understandable.”

“Probably a hell of alot easier in an anthro world than here.” I mused.

“Yeah. Pretty nice there. Besides my first day and a few ponies in Manehatten.”

“There are always bad types, but you eventually meet some of the good ones.” I said while leading the way to a building not unlike the small hut we started in. I knocked heavily on the door while shouting. “Oi, Vinyl. Get your plot out here, and bring Octy. I’ve got some friends to introduce you to and we want the food you were MEANT to bring us last night.”

A loud grumbling emanated from inside the small structure followed by mumbled words and a loud yelp. Slow hooffalls came next until the door opened a crack and a magenta eye peered out of the crack. “Ugghhh, stop being so damn loud Aurora. We’re trying to sleep.” Vinyl grumbled.

“I don’t care, just grab Octy and some food then meet us in my cabin.” I ordered the indigent mare before walking off, indicating for Dark to follow.

As we walked back inside the hut I shared with my friends Ashur looked up at us. “So did you get something for breakfast?”

“Yeah.” I answered. “That stubborn unicorn will be here in a minute with Octy and some food.”

“Good. I didn’t even realise how hungry I was. Not needing to eat for so long kinda makes you forget.” Ashur said with a small laugh.

A few minutes later a pair of mares stumbled into the hut, a large pile of assorted foodstuffs and containers floating in an aura behind them. As they entered they froze, looking at the strange guests that were inhabiting the room. Vinyl was the first to break from her stupor and asked. “So these are your friends Aurora?”

“Yep.” I answered cheerily. “Vinyl, Octavia, meet Dark, or Tito whichever you prefer. A fellow human.”

Dark waved at them. “Hi.”

Vinyl stepped forward, offering a hoof while Octavia tried to break herself from her frozen state. “Sup dude?”

Dark chuckled before taking her hoof and shaking it. “Nice to meet ya Vinyl. Though, of all ponies, I would've never expected you to be an assassin. And ESPECIALLY not Octavia.”

Vinyl laughed deeply before answering. “Yeah I get that alot. Let’s just say it runs in the family.”

“Wait, so being assassins is your family legacy? Reminds me a bit of Desmond. Minus the whole thing with the Animus.” He paused for a moment. “And now I can't help but think about Sly Cooper.”

“Our family were the first assassins trained by these guys here a long time ago.” Octavia answered, finally able to function again. “Lovely to meet you. Master Assassin Octavia Melody at your service.” She said, offering a hoof.

He shook it. “I’m Dark, and this is my partner Michael.” He said pointing at the small blue creature before gesturing to the foxlike one. “And this is Emily.”

The Froakie nodded. “Froakie.”

“What interesting creatures.” Octavia mused.

“I think they’re pretty cool.” Vinyl added.

Dark chuckled. “Think Mike is cool now? Wait ‘til he fully evolves.” He then pulled out a phone and showed them a picture of a five foot blue and peach colored frog-like creature with a pink scarf on its face.

“Woah, he turns into that?” Vinyl exclaimed.

“Okay, okay.” Ashur interjected. “I think we all need food. What did you guys bring?”

Vinyl lit up her horn and levitated over a spread of sandwiches, assorted vegetables and water flasks, placing them down in the center of the room. I leant forward and snatched up a sandwich before asking Dark. “Can you keep telling your story while we eat? I’d like to hear some more.”

“Sure...where was I again?” He asked, him and Mike grabbing a sandwich each and eating, Emily just eating more twigs.

“You left to calm down after Rainbow attacked you.” Luna said before stuffing her face with some vegetables.

“Right. Anyway, a few minutes later, two things dropped to the floor of my room. One was a combination of a sword and a chainsaw, the other was this.” He reached into his backpack and pulled out an assault rifle from Halo.

“Damn. Is that a MA5 series rifle?” Ashur asked with awe.

“Uh...what?”

“UNSC standard issue assault rifle.” He said. “I uhh, used to play a lot of Halo.”

“Huh. I only played Reach awhile ago and just skipped the cutscenes.” He put it back in his bag. “Anyway, they were the first tokens I came across. I unknowingly summoned a Spartan, and some other futuristic super soldier named Sebaste and Sebastian. They explained everything to me and helped me with my token. After that, we met up with Twilight and the rest of the group, and they explained a few more things. And explained to Rainbow that she reminded them of a certain mustached bastard from Marvel,” he said with a growl. He shook his head and calmed himself. “Sorry. Just...really hate Jameson. Anyway, after that was done, Twilight teleported me and Rarity to Carousel Boutique so we can make this.” He gestured to his cloak.

Ashur spoke up. “You got Rarity to make clothes for you? Lucky.”

Dark shrugged. “I mostly helped with it. Took a few hours though. It was already night by the time we finished. After I snuck my way back to the castle and into my room, I put it on, then went to find the others.” He paused. “Didn't expect what happened, to be honest.”

I started laughing, having read enough fanfiction to know what was coming next. “Sorry, *snrk* keep going.”

“Um...something wrong?”

I answered quickly, waving my arms in front of me. “No, no, keep going. It’s fine.”

Dark raised an eyebrow. “I know that look. What's on your mind?”

“You got Pinkie partied, didn’t you?” I answered, a barely concealed giggle interrupting each word.

“Yeah. And Sebaste scared me so bad that I jumped all the way to the ceiling and stuck to it like a cartoon cat.”

“Somehow I’m not surprised.” Ashur said while laughing.

“Anyway, in the middle of the party, I left and found myself in a balcony. Then Rainbow walked up to me and we talked.” He paused again. “Come to think of it, that was the first actual conversation we had. The rest of the times before then she either insulted me, or threatened me. Or attacked me.”

“That must have been good.” I said. “Finally getting to clear the air and speak not as enemies.”

“Yeah. After that, we actually became pretty good friends. Even spar together every couple of days.”

“Ooh, ooh, maybe it’s Rainbow that you’re interested in? Prefer the athletic type, do you?” I suggested.

Dark’s eyes widened and he spat out the water he was drinking. “W-WHAT?! What in the wide wide world of Equis would make you think THAT?!”

“Well nearly all of our conversations have revolved around you and Rainbow.” I said simply, a wide grin covering my face. “That’s enough for me.”

Dark pinched his nose, the Pokemon snickering at his reaction. “I can safely say, without a doubt, I do not have a crush on Rainbow Dash. Or anypony for that matter.”

“It’s ok Dark.” I said. “I’m sure you just haven’t realised yet how perfect you are for each other. I’m sure in time you’ll come to accept that you are meant for each other.”

Dark narrowed his eyes at me. “Mike. Bubble.”

“Froak,” the Water type said, before shooting out a volley of bubbles from his mouth at me.

As the bubbles floated over to me rapidly I rolled to the side with practiced ease. “Sorry, sorry. I can’t help myself sometimes.” I said while giggling, before getting blinded all of a sudden. “Hey! What’s this?” I asked, raising a hand to my face.

“First off,” Dark said, “you don't know enough about me to be able to say that. Second, keep that up and you'll end up worse than the CMC. And third, that's webbing.”

“Okay!” I cried out through the web covering my face. “I’ll stop, just take this off me.” The web then suddenly vanished and I looked at our guest, an apologetic look on my face. “Sorry Dark.”

“Seriously, if I wanted someone to meddle with my love life, I would just go along with Cece on her stupid tradition.”

“Tradition?” I asked.

“She tries, every Christmas for the last few years, to get me under the mistletoe with some girl. Especially if they're around my age. She sees it like a game.” He then facepalmed. “And now that a Displaced we met recently told her about some invisibility power Amy has, she's going to use that next year. As if it wasn't hard enough now, with her enhanced agility and all.”

“We can never let these two meet.” Ashur said.

“Agreed. Though, since she seems to be acting like Pinkie, maybe Cece would just hit her. She's not a fan of Pinkie.”

The room temperature seemed to drop several degrees and everybody started to feel a sense of unease. Ashur started to rise to his feet and his next words came out in a deep growl. “Nobody harms her.” After he said those words however the atmosphere changed, becoming lighter and warmer. “Sorry.” He said quietly. “I can be a little over protective.”

Dark shrugged. “I'm usually like that with Cece, but I allow it whenever she deserves it. Like that Ivy Displaced I mentioned. Cece thought she was a stripper and said that out loud.”

“Ohh dude. That cannot have gone well.” Ashur exclaimed.

“Could've been worse. Luckily, Sebaste and I were able to stop it before it did.”

“So what happened next?” I asked.

“Like I said before, I met Lyra and Bon Bon, then Trixie, then went to Manehatten, swung around the place, and saved Lightning Dust from a bunch of rapists. After that, I found Cece, met the Royal sisters, as well as Discord, and explained everything to them.”

“Discord got out?!” Luna asked loudly.

“Oh...right...we're in Season One right now…” Dark muttered.

“We’ll talk about this later Luna.” Ashur answered dismissively.

“Right… Anyway, not much happened after that. For a while at least. Then came Hearth’s Warming Eve.” Dark sighed. “That was a very long and eventful day.”

“You’ve mentioned Hearth’s Warming Eve a couple of times now. What actually happened?” I asked Dark.

“You remember those Displaced I mentioned? The first two I met and the Ivy one?” We nodded. “Well, I invited them for the party Twilight was going to have. They came, and Cece and I met Alex, the Ivy Displaced, and Cece met Sebaste and Sebastian. Nothing much happened at first. We just put up the decorations and joined the party. But after Rainbow accidentally knocked Sebaste's helmet off in front of Lyra and Bon Bon, we had to explain everything to them. Bon Bon was a bit skeptical, and probably still is, but Lyra at least believed us. After that…” He lowered his head.

“What, what happened?” I asked worriedly.

“You wouldn't believe this, but they disappeared right in front of us and some guy showed up and said he was their “author”. He practically told us he rebooted them and replaced Sebaste with someone else, saying they were now in an Equestria that was at war. After he gave Twilight the ability to use healing magic, I was able to get him to let all of us say goodbye to them. Then...they were gone.”

“That’s really… confusing and meta.”

“Yeah…” Ashur said, scratching his head while trying to process the new details.

Octavia spoke up suddenly. “I’m not sure about everypony else but I have no idea what any of that means.”

Dark petted Emily, not looking up. “Long story short, Octavia, I'm from another dimension where all of you are humanoid and just explaining my time in my Equestria.”

Ashur looked over at the two mares, giving a small smile. “I’ll explain everything in more detail later, don’t worry.” He then looked back to Dark. “So after your friends left what happened?”

“Everyone else went back to the party, and I went to bed. Not much else happened for a couple more days. Until a version of Screwball found my token and threw it at a horde of Beedrill, summoning me and pulling Cece and Twilight along for the trip.”

“That sounds like it could have been either really dangerous or really funny.” I said.

“A guy who has a fear of bugs suddenly finding himself and two beings closest to him surrounded by giant bees with 3 stingers each. How do you think I reacted to THAT?!”

I looked down at my feet. “Sorry.”

“Yeah. Anyway, after Cece and I...took care of them, I found Screwball and introduced her. You should've seen Twilight’s face when I told her she was Discord’s daughter,” Dark said with a chuckle.

Ashur and most of the ponies in the room joined Dark in his humour before I absently asked. “I wonder if she exists in this Equestria.”

“Who knows? Anyway, after a...falling out with that annoying filly, we met her uncle Tomas, a Displaced who turned into James from Team Rocket. A little after that, we found these two.” He gestured to the Pokemon. “After we brought Emily in to help her with a wound she had, we explained what happened to Sebaste and Sasha to them. Then it was time to leave. But these two wanted to join us. So, we caught them and went back to our Equestria. But not before getting one last favor.”

“What was that?”

Dark pulled out his phone. “After what happened to Sebaste and the others, I thought I should have more than just their token to remember any Displaced I meet.” He then turned it on and gave it to me, showing a picture of Team Rocket, along with their Pokemon and a small pink filly with a beanie and purple swirls for eyes.

“Keeping pictures for mementos. Makes me wish any of our tech had made the journey.”

Dark shrugged. “Maybe you could end up in a human world and get some new stuff.” He then pulled 2 items that looked like cupcakes out of nowhere and gave it to Mike and Emily.

Ashur laughed suddenly. “Maybe we’ll sneak off if Equestria Girls happens here.”

I watched the Pokemon eating the cupcakes. “So what are those? And where did they come from?”

“They're Poképuffs,” Dark said. “As for where they came from…” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue gem. “A gift from Tomas. This thing is infused with chaos magic, allowing me to spawn things like Poképuffs, or replicas of my token. Can't do anything big though.”

“Still, that would be really useful.”

“Why?”

“Even a little chaos magic could do a lot of good if used right. You never know when it could come in handy. So after the Pokemon universe what did you do?” I asked, eager to hear the rest of the story.

“Cece and I were pulled into another dimension yesterday and met a Kamen Rider Displaced named Jack. He was also on Season One territory. I think Griffin The Brush Off since he mentioned seeing Rainbow with a griffin before he summoned me. After I introduced myself and Cece, we went to Golden Oaks, then we went to the moon,” he said before drinking more water.

“The moon?!” Luna cried. “Why would you ever go there?”

“The dude apparently has a base up there, with a gateway to it in Twilight’s house. It was pretty cool. Anyway, we, and by that I mean mostly me, explained the whole thing about Displaced to him. He was new to it too. After that, he made his token, and we were sent back home. Then today, Cece left Emily with me and went to the human world that mirrors our Equestria. Then you summoned me and that's it.”

“That was one hell of a story.” Ashur commented.

“And I only been there a month. I could only imagine the rest of my life. Not to mention living through a few episodes.”

Ashur stood and walked to the door, taking a look at the sky. “It’s reaching midday. As much as I enjoy your company Dark, I think we should say our goodbyes for now.”

Dark jumped to his feet. “Okay. But first, can I take that picture of you guys?”

“Of course.” I said, jumping to my feet. “Come on everypony.”

The ponies all moved in close to me as Ashur walked over and stood by my side, resting an arm over my shoulder.

Dark pulled out his phone and pointed it towards us. “Say “Creed”.” A flash went off on his phone and he put it away. “Well, now that that's over with, you remember how to send Displaced back?”

“Yeah.” Ashur and I answered. “Dark, our con-” All of a sudden a small portal appeared, interrupting us mid sentence as a crimson sash fell from inside before it vanished from sight, leaving the sash behind.

“What the heck?” Dark said. He then walked up to the sash and picked it up, before having a distant look in his eyes.

“You okay there Dark?” I asked him worriedly.

Dark shook his head before putting the sash in his backpack and looking at me. “I'm fine. Just heard your message is all. Looks like I have your token now.”

“Well that was good timing then, it would be useless for us to have it.” Ashur said. “We should try that again. It was nice meeting you Dark, maybe next time we will have time to tell you of our adventures.” He said before grasping the human’s arm past the wrist while giving him a large smile.

Dark smiled back. “You as well.”

Ashur stood back, letting go of Dark’s arm before standing next to me and speaking together. “Dark, our contract is complete.”

A portal opened up a few feet from us. Dark picked up Emily and Mike jumped back onto his shoulder and he walked to it. Before he went through, he turned to us and gave a small salute. “Good luck with everything, guys. And always remember, if you ever need help or someone to talk to, just toss that medallion.”

“And the same to you dude. Just give us a call if you need us.” Ashur offered.

As Dark was walking through the portal I stepped forward and yelled out to him. “Don’t forget to give Rainbow a kiss, loverboy.”

“Screw you Aurora,” he said, shooting another web at me before the portal closed.

The moment the portal closed the webbing that suddenly blinded me again disappeared and I looked around at the assorted ponies. All their eyes were locked on Ashur and I. I sighed before speaking to them. “We have a lot to explain don’t we?

As a group the three mares nodded and I sighed again. “Well it goes like this…”
