(Ponyville)
(Morning)

“Wow, that would’ve been a huge problem if I didn’t seal it away.” Zeko said as he walked with Twilight and Rainbow Dash through the streets of Ponyville.

“Discord, the lord of chaos, was almost free and you stopped him with... what jutsu did you call it?” Twilight inquired

“Actually I had to use two different sealing jutsu and neither of them are weak in any way; first I had to use something called the Four trigrams seal and put some of my chakra into the statue, then I used the Five pronged seal to disturb the flow of his mana. The energy he spent that time gathering’s locked away from him and he shouldn’t be able to get more.” Zeko explained with Twilight taking notes

“So these seals, they’re like runes? They can alter the qualities of what they go on right?”

“I guess... seals need to lock something away and can be dispelled to bring it back. The jinchuriki hosts have seals on their bodies so tailed beast chakra doesn’t leak out in high amounts.”

Rainbow Dash decided to speak up when she heard this. “So those monsters are put into them but they get to use their powers? It doesn’t seem right to do that.”

Zeko turned back to face her and his face showed traces of something he hadn’t shown during his stay in Equestria, anger. “Don’t say the tailed beasts are monsters.”

“But th-“ Dash tried to object but was stopped by Zeko’s next statement

“They never wanted to be forced into people as a source of power, they just wanted freedom. You girls learned not to judge things so quickly so act like you’re an element of harmony.” Rainbow Dash sulked ya his words when she realized that she shouldn’t have been so fast in her judging of the tailed beasts. Surprisingly enough Zeko did a full turn in mood and got out of his fit and resumed walking

“I guess he doesn’t want things to just be seen as monsters? Or maybe he has a lot in common with them being used for power?” Twilight pondered while looking over her notes on the seals and confirming their similarity to runes. “So Zeko, Do you know anything about runes?”

Zeko recalled the lessons he began with Twilight that he decided on for the sake of improvising a technique that would let him use chakra without hand seals. “You haven’t taught me a thing about-“ He was cut off by Spike rushing to them with a letter in his hand

“Zeko!” The drake yelled as he ran, the training he started with the shinobi having helped build his physique better which showed from the attention he started getting from fillies and the CMC. “Princess Celestia sent this, it just said it was urgent and it was for you!” Spike handed the letter off and stopped to steady his breathing. Zeko opened the letter and read silently while the others looked on.

“So I have to fight another dragon? This place has a problem with dragons stealing treasure.” A cloud of sand appeared under Zeko who was lifted off immediately while the others looked on in silence. Until Spike decided to speak

“I wonder if I could go with him, maybe I can test out the fire move he taught me.”

“No, he’s going to an adult dragon. You’re still just a kid.” Twilight said with care due to her older sister like relationship with the drake who just sighed and walked off.

Zeko drifted to a mountain with a cave at its base with smoke coming out signifying a fire within. “So an adult or a teenage dragon... hopefully a teen.” Zeko didn’t feel scared at the prospect of fighting an adult dragon but he didn’t feel like having to relocate one since he was told not to kill the target. Once he walked into the cave his attention was drawn to the dragon that stood as tall as Celestia that was currently eating a leg of some animal with a slightly smaller dragon nearby.

“Can you believe this haul Blaze? Who’d have thought that town just throws their treasure into the street?” The smaller dragon said as he ran his claws through the pile making the larger dragon swallow his meal.

“I didn’t think it’d be so easy Flicker, but they didn’t fight back so don’t relax. They’re probably sending ponies to retrieve the treasure now.”

“You’re right about that.” The dragons turned and saw a wave of sand encase their hoard and return to a creature that resembled a pony but didn’t have a muzzle or legs ending with hooves.

“Hey! That’s our treasure!” Flicker was angered and Blaze was furious that some weird thing came and took their property.

“You’d better give us back our hoard and leave before you get burnt to a crisp.” Zeko looked at the two and smirked before pulling a strange bluish-white crystal from the pile and holding it

“Yeah no, you took this from a town of hardworking miners and I’m gonna give them back what’s... theirs?” Zeko noticed the crystal started to glow brightly and levitated from his hand.

“Hmm? Looks like I picked up another contact.” A rough voice echoed from within the diamond. Zeko can hear what sounds to be something being written.

“A contact?” Zeko uttered to himself thinking on what the crystal was communicating to him, “Another...displaced guy? Makes sense since crystals don’t usually talk.” The dragons were listening in and were growing angrier by the moment

“Don’t try to ignore us shrimp!” Blaze let a burst of flame out in an attempt to harm Zeko but it was stopped by a wall of sand which blocked them from seeing him.

“That’s out of the way for now, so who are you?” He asked the crystal which had dimmed but the glow returned

“Athre’us-Ei, or Magic-Eyes if you are unable to speak the argonian tongue,” The voice said as the writing sound slowed down. “Judging from the sounds coming from my side, you sound like you’re in a bit of a predicament.”

Zeko looked at the wall which was being assaulted with fire and heated rocks, looking closer he saw that the sand was turning to glass from the constant heat. “That’s a way of putting it…”

“Place the crystal on the ground, preferable something made of stone or jewels. I need material in order to create the gate needed to enter your world.” Magic-Eye’s stone said.

“I feel like that’ll make them more angry… so let’s do it.” Zeko let the treasure fall to the cave floor and placed the stone on top of a pile of gems. “So do I do anything else or do you make it on your own?” Before he heard a response, the sand, now turned glass, shattered revealing Blaze with steam pouring from his nostrils

“Now I’m gonna cook you, then I’ll eat you!” He climbed through the hole with Flicker behind him, steam coming from his eyes

“Tori… Wind Style: Air Bullet.” Zeko opened his mouth and let a burst of air escape and knock the scaled duo through the wall again.

The crystal slowly rose into the air, taking the gems along with it. They started to mold themselves and shrink down into almost perfect orbs. They came together to form an arc way, each stone lighting up in a strange language. With a loud pop of electricity, a portal appeared in the arc’s center.

A blue robed humanoid stepped through, its face hidden in the darkness of his cloak, all Zeko could see inside were a pair of glowing orange slitted eyes. While he certainly appeared mostly human, the scaly tail was a dead give-away of what he was. His eyes scanned across the room, taking in the event before him.

“So a dragon to solve a dragon problem, makes sense for the rescue to know the enemy on a higher level.” Zeko quipped based on his new ally’s appearance.

“Not exactly a dragon.” Magic-Eyes said as he lowered his hood to reveal his blue scaled face with green markings along his cheeks. The top of his head had a brown and aqua green fin.

Before Magic-Eyes could explain further the draconian duo came back with shards of glass embedded in their backs. “You guys won’t give up will you?”

“If you think this is enough to stop a dragon then this won’t take long punk.” Blaze ran to Zeko with a furious gaze and tackled him out of the cavern leaving Flicker with Magic-Eyes

“You might look like a dragon but I can tell you’re just some copycat.” Flicker spat a group of heated rocks at Magic-Eyes.

“Shirudo Rejisuto,” Magic-eyes whispered as he quickly held out his hands, causing a glowing ward of magicka to appear in front of him. The barrage of molten rocks collided with the shield of energy, negating the attacks but reducing his reserves. When he lowered his ward, he thrusted his other hand out. “Futan,” he whispered, altering the gravity around Flicker. The dragon could feel a sudden shift of weight pushing him down. “I suggest you rethink about who you’re up against.” Magic-Eyes explained as he kept his hand aloft to keep the spell’s power going.

Outside Blaze was trying his hardest to pulverize Zeko with his superior size but found it hard to even touch his smaller adversary. “Stay still so I can hit you!” He threw a haymaker and made Zeko jump over him to dodge but before Zeko could counter a plume of steam shot into his eyes, temporarily blinding him

“Agh! I forgot you have heat on your side!” By the time his vision was back Blaze had him in his grasp and pinned his arms against his body.

“I’m gonna crush you kid.” Blaze said with a grin

“If your plan was to squeeze me to death then you should know that six arms beats two.” Zeko’s eye changed to it’s swirled form

“I musta hit you too hard back there since you only have… two arms…” Blaze started to lose his grip when he felt additional limbs pushing his then he noticed that two extra pairs of arms came from Zeko’s shoulder sockets and were forcing his away. “What kinda monster are you?!” Blaze was starting to feel fear at the idea that he attacked the wrong creature and his hunch was confirmed when the extra arms on the right worked together and formed a ball of air, earning a gasp from Blaze

“Asura Rasengan!” Zeko said as he slammed the ball into Blaze who could only describe the feeling as being gored by a blunt sword that was spinning as he ragdolled across the ground.

Meanwhile, back in the cave.

“What will you do?” Magic-Eyes asked the dragon, testing to see if he’d choose to be reckless and fight, or realize what that fighting him would not be a good idea.

“This can’t be any dragon! He didn’t even touch me and I’m stuck to the ground!” Flicker thought about his options and decided that dragon’s pride wouldn’t apply in this situation. “Ok I give you can have the treasure just don’t kill me or Blaze. We’re egg brothers and we’ve always had each other’s backs.”

“I had no intentions of killing you nor am I interested in your treasure,” Magic-Eyes said before looking over the trove of treasure. “Unless you have some sort of unique magical artifact among your collection. Kenshutsu Majika.” Magic-Eyes said, causing his eyes to take on a gentle glow of blue. With this spell, he could see if there was anything magical or enchanted among the pile. He didn’t find anything in the immediate area but sensed a powerful presence from outside.

“Ok so Blaze is taken care of.” Zeko walked back in with three arms coming from his shoulders carrying said dragon to Magic-Eyes’ surprise. The argonian raised an eye-ridge at the display considering how the situation was at first. What made Magic-Eye raise his ridge higher were the extra arms by Zeko’s sides. “Something wrong Eyes?” Zeko questioned not noticing the obvious object of Magic-Eyes’ attention.

“Despite the universe containing endless possibilities, I’m still not used to seeing the many different powers of the Displaced,” Magic-Eyes said before looking at Flicker. Magic-eyes extends his hand out. “Feza.” he whispered, allowing the gravity around the dragon to be reversed and returned back to normal.

“Blaze! Are you ok?” Flicker ran over to his brother who’d just been tossed onto the floor by Zeko. Blaze only groaned in response to Flicker who sighed in relief that his brother survived the now six armed being.

“Now to get the treasure back and tell Celestia what happened.” Sand whipped around the mass of gold and some remaining jewels and lifted off of the ground but before Zeko and Magic-Eyes left the sand allowed a small amount of the valuables to fall off and remain in the cave. “I’m glad I was wearing my Uchiha shirt or else I’d have ruined it with those arms.” The arms Zeko had grown had retreated back into his body through his large sleeves. “So Eyes what’s your story, how’s you end up in your version of Equestria?”

“I was transported when I tried to get a ayleid portal activated.” Magic-Eyes explained before looking back at the cave they left. “So, is there any reason why you needed the treasure?” he asked.

“I got sent on s retrieval mission for it and I coincidentally found a displaced token, weird how it’s a dragon like guy but I can’t judge since you’ve probably never seen anything like me.” The pair walked onto a larger area of sand and floated off

“As I’ve said, I’m not a dragon. I’m an argonian.” Magic-Eyes corrected the sand-wielding ninja.

“So you’re a magic using lizard-person? That’s pretty cool, so are there any strong people… or otherwise in the Equestria you were in or is it just a bunch of pacifists?” Curiosity dripped from Zeko’s words and excitement was noticeable in his tone at the idea of fighting a strong enemy

“Equestria is a bit like Cyrodil, but in a different land all together along with all sorts of creatures. It can overwhelming at first for those not used to talking ponies,” Magic-Eyes explained as he stroked along his scaley chin.”Their land is just as dangerous as well, especially when traveling.”

“Talking ponies… Oh that’s what you meant by the endless possibilities, in this world the ponies resemble humans with some animalistic traits. It weirded me out for a while but I adjusted once I realized they were like residents for a smaller hidden village in the way that they want to live their own lives in peace. Speaking of which, I think that’s the town.” Zeko pointed towards a town built against the base of a small mountain.

“Animalistic traits?” Magic-Eyes asked with a questionable look. “So in a way, I would not look out of place among them other than my magic. Makes sense considering one of them mistook me for a dragon.” The Argonian looked and saw some of the residents of the town carrying mining equipment, and when they saw the approaching cloud of sand they stood in anticipation at what it could be. “What is the name of the town?” Magic-Eyes asked in curiosity.

“Says in the letter.” Zeko pulled the message he’d gotten earlier out and read over the missive. “Says it’s called the Rearington mining community, they go into the mountain and bring out precious ores to sell to larger businesses.” The cloud descended to the ground and a crowd began to gather around it when they noticed the two riding comfortably.

“Hey there stranger, name’s Silver Swinger.” A stallion had walked up to the pair and attempted to introduce himself but once he noticed Magic-Eyes he recoiled in fear. “D-D-Drag-!”

“He’s not a dragon, he’s a something called an Argonian. The dragons that took your valuables were handled and I’m here to give it back.” The sand retreated back to Zeko’s gourd and allowed the townsponies to see the items they’d lost and swiftly went to retrieve them. “So that’s done, now I’m assuming you have more of a reason to be here than helping with those two dragons.”

“I always come when there are others who need me, it also allows me to learn about the many different powers each Displaced have. By the way, do you still hold my Varla Stone?” Magic-Eyes asked as he turned to look at the sand ninja.

“It’s right here, are you supposed to take it back or something?” Zeko pulled the illuminated stone from his thigh-mounted pouch and handed it off to the Argonian

“No. You see, when I accidentally sent it into the void, it became a pinpoint to allow me to form a ayleid portal to your world, however returning requires the holder of the varla to send me back home. It has something to do with me not being a true Displaced.” Magic-Eyes explained.

“So that means the same applies to me… if I go somewhere I need something to send me back, I can tell that’s gonna bite me later.” The shinobi thought on the technicalities of being displaced but stopped once he noticed the problem at hand, “How the hell do I send you back?”

“If you speak the words ‘your contract is complete’, the Varla Stone will then create the portal back to my Equestria by forming the runes from stone as you saw back at the cave,” Magic-Eyes said as he pointed at the stone. “Just don’t allow its magic to be drained, otherwise it’ll end up useless to you.”

“Your contract is complete.” Zeko said causing the stone to vibrate intensely and glow brightly before creating the same symbols from before and forming another arc of electricity which formed a gateway.

“If I walk through this portal, I’ll be gone from your world until you need me again. All you got to do is talk into the Varla Stone and i’ll hear you on the other side.” Magic-Eyes explained as a crowd formed again to witness the event.

“Makes sense. I’ll see you when something big happens.” Zeko put his hand up in a dismissive manner as the crowd watched the Argonian depart. The moment Magic-Eyes went through the portal, the runes faded away as the rocks returned to the ground, becoming nothing more than part of the earth, like it was never disturbed. “Well this was an experience…

Author's Notes:

Your friendly Rinnegan wielder again and we have the first crossover, not as action packed as you may have wanted, but this was to see if the author could do it. We wanna give credit to DisplacedWriter for Magic-Eyes and his dialogue, check his work out it’s pretty good in my opinion but The Seeker cares for grammar too much so he’s got a bias. Also because these aren’t canon some things I or other characters do won’t be in continuity of the story, like that Asura Rasengan.

Either way the author’s working to have the next chapter out as a Christmas gift to those who celebrate it so stay tuned and don’t forget to favorite, like follow and yadda yadda... till next time...
