[Displaced] My life went from cosplaying the black dragon of the apocalypse at a New York Anime convention, to being Acnologia in only 5 short minutes. What the hell? No serioulsly, what the fuck?
[Displaced] I was at the New York Anime convention cosplaying Acnologia, but I was missing the necklace. I found it at a vendor in the convention, but as soon as I put it on I woke up in fucking Equestria, AS Acnologia. At least I have both of my arms.
Edit: I am open for crossovers! Just message me and let me know!

Chapter 1- Displacement And Midnight
My name is Acnori Quill, and I was born in Japan. I also grew up watching one anime. Fairy Tail. I am so sad to see such an awesome story come to a close, but what really kept me going, was the main villain. No its not Zeref, or even the Spriggin 12. It's Acnologia. That's who I'm cosplaying as right now. I have all of the right things to cosplay as him, but I'm missing the necklace that he wears. I look around the convention, and I see something. I walk over, and see the necklace that Acnologia wears! I notice that the vendor owner walks over, and he looks like the merchant from Resident Evil 4.
"Hello! I see you've taken a liking to that necklace." He points out.
"Yeah, I like it a lot. How much will it cost?" I ask as I take out my wallet.
"That'll be $100 please." He tells me as I take out 2 fifties and hand them to him.
"I noticed that you're dressed as the merchant from Resident Evil 4. That's really neat!" I compliment as the man rubs his head.
"Oh, thanks. I see that you're cosplaying The black dragon of the apocalypse, eh? Nice going on the clothes by the way. They look almost like the real thing." He tells me.
"O-oh, thanks. I-I made them myself." I thank him while blushing in embarrassment.
I've never been the most extroverted person out there. In fact, I'm far from it. So, getting a compliment like this made me a bit shy.
"Well, see you later." I tell him as I walk away from the vendor.
I put the necklace on and I notice that its a perfect fit. I start to walk a it further when I feel a little fatigued. I brush it off as just a fluke, but two seconds later I face plant onto the floor of the convention, as I go completely unconscious, but instead of feeling the hard tiled floor of the convention, I feel the tickling sensation of grass, and the dusty feeling of dirt.
I groan in a little pain as I lift my head off the ground. I push myself off the ground and- wait... I look at the ground and notice that I'm no longer sitting on the tiled floor of the New York convention. Instead I'm sitting in a fucking alley... Did I just cuss? I've never cursed before. Welp, I'm not gonna do anything about that, cause that doesn't matter right now.
"Where the hell am I?" I thought to myself as I stood up.
I noticed that the sky was midnight blue and that no one was out. I then stepped out of the alley, and saw that I wasn't in New York anymore. I was in a village like town that had somewhat normal colorations and looked kinda familiar. I just couldn't figure out where I'd seen it before. I felt the dirt on my feet, causing me to look down, to see that I'm not wearing shoes. I didn't really mind, but what I did see, was that I still had the pants of the Acnologia cosplay I was doing. I then walk out of the dark alley, and I find a window. I walk past the window, but I immediately stop. What I saw was astonishing. I WAS Acnoligia.
"What the? H-how? When? Why?" I question as I touch the very long, dark navy blue hair that was now my own.
I thought of the light blue markings that made Acnologia, and I lifted up the cloak and there they were. The markings of the Apocalyptic dragon. I let the black cloak drape back down to its previous position, and I saw a glimmering sheen in the corner of my eye. I looked over to the glimmering's origins, to find it coming from a library in a tree... Eh, not the weirdest thing I've seen today. I walk over to the library and I hear voices coming from inside the building. So, I decide to eavesdrop. I mean, I have heightened senses. I'm gonna use them.
"I read all about the predictions of Nightmare Moon, and in those predictions it mentioned the Elements of Harmony, but I don't even know what they are. Heck I don't even know what they do, or where they are!" A feminine voice explained.
Nightmare Moon? Isn't that the first villain of the My Little Pony show? I thought as I continued listening.
"The Elements of Harmony, a reference guide." A different voice sprouted.
"What!? Where did you find that!?" The first voice semi-yelled.
"It was under E~" The second voice cheerfully said.
I facepalm and chuckle slightly as I immediately duck into a bush as I hear a new voice noticed my chuckle.
"Did y'all hear that?" A southern country like accented voice emerged. "Sounded like it came from outside."
I hear the windows open to reveal an orange pony with a cowboy hat. My eyes go wide as I now know where I ended up. I ended up in My Little Pony, Equestria. Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooolllllllllllyyyyyy Shit! I mentally scream. I ended up in my childhood TV show. So, all those stories of the Displaced and "The Merchant" are real!? This is awesome and scary! I internally squealed as I saw the orange pony, who was known as Applejack close the windows and go back to what the others were talking about. If I'm correct, then I landed in the time of the Nightmare Moon Arc. Ok, I'll need to follow them to the Everfree forest, so I could help them. Maybe I should give Spike a little visit first. I mentally debated before seeing, Applejack and five other ponies walked out and towards the edge of the town. I waited till they were far enough so I wouldn't be seen.
"Ok, now's my chance." I told myself before getting out of the bush as quietly as I could, and walking inside the Golden Oak Library.
I looked around and noticed a sleeping Spike's breathing. I quietly walked upstairs and saw the little dragon dozing off. I reached over to wake him, but I stopped and pulled my hand back. Was this really a good idea? Well, here goes nothing. I told myself as I gently shook Spike and he began to stir. He groggily looked around, and then mumbled a few things before yawning and sitting up. I then noticed his scale's colorations. The majority of his scales were a Violet purple, and his underbelly was an emerald green, and the spines on his back and head were the same emerald color. He rubbed his moss green eyes. Looking at him from the show, and looking at him in real life you could actually see the difference. He looked at me and I just gave him an awkward wave. He just stared at me for a few seconds before finally breaking the silence.
"Who're you?" He asked as I sweat dropped.
"Hehe. Well, my name is Acnologia, and it may not look like it, but I'm like you." I told him while rubbing my neck.
"What do you mean you're like me? You're not a dragon. I don't even know what you are." He stated while trying to get up.
"Please stay seated, you're really tired. And I was a human. Emphasis on 'was'. What you see me as right now is what I used to look like as a human, but due to the magic I use it caused me to become a dragon. The reason I look like this is because I wouldn't be able to fit inside here due to the size of my draconic form." I explained. "But away from that. What's your name?"
"I'm Spike the Dragon!" He said proudly as he puffed his chest out trying to look cool.
"Well, its nice to meet you Spike." I chuckled. "I need to go soon. Your friends are going to try and find the Elements of Harmony to try and stop Nightmare Moon. I'm going to help them." I told him as I stood up straight to my full height.
"Then why'd you stop here?" He questioned.
"So I could make my first friend." I told him as I walked down the stairs and as I walked out the door, I could hear his adorable snores.
I then ran as fast as I could to the entrance of the Everfree forest, and I dived into another bush as I saw a purple furred Unicorn walk into the forest. I then got out of the bush and silently followed them. Watched as the six of them make their way to the ancient castle of the two sisters, all while proving their traits as the Elements of Harmony. I saw as the country Earth pony Applejack reassured Twilight by telling the Honest truth, I watched as the incredibly shy Pegasus pony Fluttershy use Kindness to tame the wild Manticore, I witnessed the cheerful Earth pony Pinkie Pie help her friends use Laughter to help dispel their fears, I marveled as the fashionista Unicorn pony Rarity calm a weeping serpent with her Generosity, and I was proud as I saw the prideful Pegasus pony Rainbow Dash stay Loyal to her comrades. While watching all of them I was also keeping tabs on what Nightmare Moon was doing. I saw her cause the cliff to fall, I saw as she became the thorn that angered the Manticore, I saw as she tried to scare the ponies with her magic, I saw as she cut the now calm serpent's mustache off, and I was angered as she tried to use the "Shadow Bolts" to get Rainbow to stray from her friends, and I watched and smiled as all of that failed. I made my way into the castle while keeping quiet as to not alert the Mane 6 of my presence. I looked as they all let out a "Woah" in awe of what they were seeing.
"C'mon Twilight, isn't this what you've been waiting for?" The orange country pony asked the violet Unicorn.
"The Elements of Harmony! We've found them!" Twilight declared.
I watched, with careful eyes as one by one, Rainbow and Fluttershy brought the stone elements before Twilight.
"One, two, three, four... Uh there only five elements Twilight. Where's the sixth?" Pinkie pointed out.
"The book said, 'When the five are present, a spark will cause the sixth element to appear.' I have an idea on what that might mean, but I'll need to focus." Twilight told the others.
I watched as Applejack and the others walked out of the room, so they could let Twilight focus. I, however, kept watch on the violet Unicorn. I heard a wisp of smoke and I saw the midnight colored mist that was Nightmare, sneak up on the concentrating Twilight. I got in a jumping position, and waited. I saw as Twilight's horn lit up with magic, as she tried to activate the elements, but before she could Nightmare still in her mist form picked up the elements and started to teleport away. Twilight's eyes widened as she witnessed this.
"The elements!" She shouted as she jumped into the vortex.
I heard all of the other ponies call Twilight's name, but after the violet Unicorn leaped into the vortex, I sped off into the vortex as well, creating a burst of wind that was made by my blinding speed, and my vision momentarily went white. After a few seconds I could feel solid ground, and I opened my eyes to see Nightmare Moon laughing. I saw Twilight looking at me in complete shock and confusion. I got up and ran over to her.
"Do not worry young Unicorn. I am a friend, I'm here to help." I told Twilight as my inner Acnologia sprouted, and my voice turned into Acnologia's voice. "I will hold this one off while you get to the elements." I told her as I looked at Nightmare with focused eyes, and I started to stalk threateningly over to the still cackling Alicorn.
Nightmare stopped laughing and noticed me. Her eyes widened slightly due to the intimidating aura I was giving out. I continued to walk over to her, and then once I was in the middle of the room I halted.
"Nightmare Moon! I challenge you to a one on one duel! Do you accept?" I announced to the corrupted Alicorn.
"You're challenging me? Really? You a mortal creature? Fighting a god like me? HA!" Nightmare looked at me as if I was insane.
"Do you accept my challenge, or are you not as strong as you think you are?" I taunted.
Nightmare immediately stopped her laughing and narrowed her eyes at me. She accepted my challenge, and got into a fighting position. I just stood there. Its a good thing I took those martial arts, and boxing lessons. The two of us circled each other. I kept my eye locked onto her. She then charged at me, with her horn pointed like a javelin. I swiftly dodged the Alicorn, and countered with a quick jab to her side, that sent her skidding across the floor. Once she came to a stop I charged and grabbed her neck as she tried to use her magic to pry my hands away, but it wasn't working. I then threw her into the wall and gave her a kick to the stomach. She then got up, and summoned several balls of energy, and they started to fire beams of condensed magic at me which I dodged like this. I could see that Nightmare was getting frustrated, and I then decided to attack. So, I jumped over the magic, and pushed myself using the roof, down towards her. I then landed next to her, and gave her a swift kick to the back sending her into the ground.
"Grrrrr! ENOUGH!" She bellowed. "YOU ARE INDEED SKILLED, HOWEVER I AM A GOD!" She then used her magic and caught me off guard, and blasted me into a pillar causing it to collapse onto me, and making me black out.
Twilight POV
I watched as the strange creature was sent flying into a pillar. I went wide eyed, and started to try and activate the elements. My horn lit up with magic, and the elements started levitate and a spark of electricity coursed through them. The shock of this action sent me flying back. I watched as Nightmare Moon wore a fearful expression, as the electricity continued to course through the elements. But then the electricity stopped. It didn't work, the elements failed! I watched as the laughing Nightmare stomped on the ground, and destroyed the elements, leaving the shards of them scattered around her feet. I watched in horror as she gloated in victory.
"Fool, did you really think that you could stop me, and my eternal night? Now that the elements are destroyed, you will never see your precious princess, nor your precious sun. THE NIGHT WILL LAST FOREVER!" Nightmare boasted as she cackled and laughed.
I looked on in fear, but then I could hear voices in the distance, and when they got close enough I heard that it was my friends! My eyes went wide, and I gasped. I felt the spark! I then turned to Nightmare Moon, and with sass and attitude I looked to her.
"You think that you can destroy the Elements of Harmony that easily? You're wrong, because the spirits of the elements are right HERE!" I shouted as my friends walked/flew on both sides of me.
I saw that the shards of the elements start to glow, and levitate which caused Nightmare to gain a fearful look.
"Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of Honesty! Fluttershy, who tamed the Manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of Kindness! Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of Laughter! Rarity who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift, represents the spirit of Generosity! And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire, represents the spirit of Loyalty!" I shouted at her, while the shards of each element went to the corresponding pony and spirit, while glowing each a different color. "The spirits of these five ponies got us through every challenge that you threw at us."
"You still don't have the sixth element! The spark didn't work!" Nightmare screamed.
"Oh, but it did! A different kind of spark. I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you!" I told my friends as I faced them, letting out a tear of joy. "The spark ignited inside of me, when I realized that all of you, are my friends!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.
Suddenly, a glimmering light appeared above me and the sixth element appeared. When I saw the symbol, I saw that it looked like my cutie mark! I then floated down to me and stopped right above my head.
"You see Nightmare Moon, when these elements are ignited by the, uh, t-the spark, that resides in all of our hearts, it summons the sixth element! The element of Magic!" I yelled as the sixth element enveloped all of us in white light.
Third Person POV
Inside the blinding light, the shards of each element formed into necklaces around Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow, which contained the element that corresponded to them, and the element took the shape of their cutie marks. The sixth element however created a crown/tiara that landed on Twilight's head. When they all opened their eyes, their eyes were glowing anti-void white, and the elements shot out a rainbow that started to envelope Nightmare Moon. To which Nightmare tried to get out of the blast, but was unable to. As the rainbow enveloped the Alicorn, a brilliant flash of light encased the room, and then the light faded, leaving the elements on their users as the six ponies started to groggily wake up.
"Ugh, my head!" Rainbow groaned.
"I-is everypony alright?" Applejack asked.
"Oh, thank goodness!" Rarity shouted.
Over to Rarity, her tail had grown back to it's full glory, as she had cut it off to calm the serpent.
"Why, Rarity its so lovely!" Fluttershy spoke softly.
"I know, I'll never part with it again." Rarity spoke as she held her tail next to her.
"No, you're necklace. It looks just like your cutie mark!" Fluttershy told her.
"Wha--? Huh? So does yours Fluttershy!" Rarity remarked.
After all of the ponies present looked on in amazement, Twilight's eyes widened to dinner plates, and she ran over to the rubble that was once a pillar, now destroyed from Nightmare blasting that strange creature into it.
"What is it Twilight? What's wrong sugar cube?" Applejack pondered with worry.
"It wasn't just us that helped defeat Nightmare. There was a strange bipedal creature too. They were keeping Nightmare busy while I tried to activate the elements, but he was hit with a very powerful blast. I don't know if he's still alive or not!" Twilight explained to everypony.
Everyponies' eyes went wide as Fluttershy started to cry. Suddenly there was a flash of light and they all turned around. Who they saw was Princess Celestia. In response they all bowed, with Fluttershy still crying softly. Celestia noticed this and wondered what it was about.
"Why do you shed tears my little pony? Twilight, what happened?" The Princess of the sun asked her student.
Twilight went on to explain what had transpired, and hearing this made Celestia's heart crack a little. An unknown creature sacrificed their life so that Twilight and her friends could succeed. Celestia walked over, and with her magic removed the rubble, to reveal Acnologia. The sun Princesses' eyes went wide and she looked upon the creature, and to see them in death was breaking her soul. Celestia lowered her head in sorrow, when a gentle glow enveloped the body of Acnologia, and his tattoo markings began to illuminate. All the injuries he had gained were being rapidly healed. The Mane six, and Celestia's eyes widened as the body of the fallen creature let out an audible groan of slight pain.
Acnologia POV
My vision began to return to me as I had just woken up from blacking out. I let out a pained groan as I had the shittiest headache ever. I lifted my arm and placed it onto my head as I sat up.
"Does anyone have a fuggin' ibuprofen? Cause I have the biggest headache." I complained.
I looked around to see the Mane six, which included, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity Belle, Fluttershy Breeze, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie, as well as Princess Celestia looking at me in disbelief. I just stared at them for a few seconds debating on what to say, but before I could think of anything, my mouth answered before anything else.
"What? Is there something on me?" I asked. "OOOOOFFF!!!!"
Twilight had rammed into me, and engulfed me in a huge hug. I didn't know how to react, I just sat there with a surprised look on my face.
"I thought you had died! What happened?!" She screamed.
"I, uh, I-I think I blacked out. Hehehe." I told the Element of Magic.
Twilight released me from the hug and gave me a look that said 'Really?' I just awkwardly rubbed my neck and smiled. I then heard a groan coming from behind everyone. I looked to see an Alicorn with night sky blue fur, and a void black tiara on her head, she also had a crescent moon cutie mark, and around her were the remains of the Nightmare Moon armor that she once dawned. I slowly got up, wincing from the sting of the blast her corrupted form had shot at me, and I slowly stumbled over to her. I saw her eyes flutter open as she slowly looked at me.
"AH!" She yelped backing herself into the corner.
I looked at the Alicorn, and made my way to her. I heard Celestia get into a kind of fighting position, as she was ready to protect her sister, but the Princess of the sun then stopped as Twilight put her hoof onto the sun Princesses' leg. I finally got close enough to the Alicorn that was cowering in the corner, and I kneeled in front of her. I then did something that no one expected. I hugged her.
"It's Ok. No one's going to hurt you Luna. It's going to be all right." I quietly told her as she hesitantly returned the hug.
I stroked her mane, and got her calmed down. I then released her of the hug and helped her to her hooves. She looked around and saw her sister. She then started to hide behind me.
"Princess Luna..." The solar princess began. "It has been a thousand years since I've seen you like this." She said, as she kneeled down in front of her lunar sister. "It's time to put our differences aside, after all we're meant to rule together, little sister." Celestia told her sibling, as everypony gasped in this new revelation, well... everypony except me. "Will you except, my friendship?" Celestia asked her younger sister.
Luna looked up at me, as she was still unsure and scared. I just gave her a gentle smile and a reassuring smile. After a few seconds, Luna jumped from behind me and instilled her older sibling in a reuniting hug.
"I'm so sorry!" Luna spoke as she cried on her sister's shoulder. "I missed you so much big sister!"
I watched as Pinkie comically blew her nose, and then suddenly shouted that it was the right time for a party. I laughed at her antics and they all looked at me.
"What?" I asked.
Celestia that got up and walked over to me. I could literally feel the magical powers of the fucking sun irradiating off her.
"Strange creature, I thank you for helping bring back my little sister, and for protecting my student in her time of need. For that, I am grateful." The Princess thanked before bowing.
"Ah, please don't act so formal around me, and it was nothing. I really didn't do mush besides fight a little." I told her.
"Though I've never seen a creature like you before. What are you?" Celestia asked.
"I'm a dragon." I said with a poker face.
"WHAT!?" That all screamed.
"But, you look nothing like a dragon!" Twilight spoke.
"That's because I wasn't always a dragon." I stated.
"What do you mean?" Applejack wondered.
"Ok, lets start from the beginning. My name, is Acnologia. The black dragon of the Apocalypse. I used to also go by the King of the Dragons, but I have long since given that title up." I explained.
They all got into fighting poses but I swiftly held both my hands up in the air.
"Hey, let me finish. If you don't recognize my species, that's because I'm from a very, very far away place that's not even on the Equestrian map, because I'm not from Equestria. I'm from a land called Fiore, but I was born in a land called Japan." I continued as they all relaxed. "And I might not look like it, but I'm over four hundred years old. I became a dragon by using too much of my specific magic, called dragon slayer magic." I told them.
"D-D-Dragon Slayer Magic!?" Fluttershy screamed.
"Hey, hey, hey! The dragons I had back home were much, MUCH more aggressive and destructive then the ones you have here. Some of the dragon in Fiore would destroy a village just for shits and giggles. This caused a war between my former race, the humans, and the dragon race. On the human's side were humans, and a ton of dragons who wanted to live in peace, and on the other side, were dragons who wanted all humans DEAD." I told them as all of their eyes went wide.
"W-who won?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"The humans. But when I became a dragon, is what ended the war. I... I used so much of my magic, I became a dragon, and due to the transformation being too taxing on the mind, I went insane. The result was an event that would be forever know as the dragon king festival, and I was that dragon king. The resulting fight led to the slaughter both sides, even the dragons on the human's side, my allies. I almost wiped out the entire dragon race except for five sole survivors. Their names were Grandeeney the sky dragon, Weisslogia the holy/light dragon, Skaidrum the shadow dragon, Metalicana the metal dragon, and Igneel the Fire Dragon King. All of them died off eventually, but only one of those five died by my hands. Igneel. I killed him with my own claws, but that wasn't for another several hundred years, and when I did end him, I wasn't unscathed. He took my left arm, which I have no clue as why it's back, but during those years they evaded me, they raised five children and taught them how to use dragon slaying magic. Natsu Dragneel the fire dragon slayer, Wendy Marvel the sky dragon slayer, Gajeel Redfox the iron dragon slayer, Sting Eucliffe the holy/light dragon slayer, and Rouge Cheney the shadow dragon slayer." I told them while sitting down. "There was another reason I went insane. I witnessed the death of a little girl. Her name was Sonya. She died and I got there too late! I watched as the dragons murdered her, it drove me mad! I brutally murdered the three dragons that killed her, and that was only one day before I slaughtered almost all of the dragons!" I screamed as I held my head in my hands and I started to cry.
Everypony had listened and they all tried to imagine what I felt through all of that, but only one pony could sympathize with me. That pony embraced me in a hug which I returned as I cried on Princess Luna's shoulder. After a few minutes I stopped crying, and my eyes were red and puffy, because I had been crying for so long.
"Shh... Its ok, you're going to be ok." Luna soothed me as I felt really tired.
I let out a soft yawn, as I finally fell asleep. Letting the Princess of the night catch me as I fell.
Luna's POV
I heard the adorable snores of Acnologia as I felt his weight fall onto me. I looked at his face and smiled softly as the human turned dragon slept.
"Lets get him back to Ponyville everypony." I told them as I set Acnologia on my back.
All of us walked out and through the Everfree forest as I was in the back with my sister.
"You like him don't you." My dear sister asked out of the flippin' blue.
"W-what? What does thou mean dear sister?" I inquire as I feel my cheeks warm up a little.
"You know what I mean." Tia hints.
"Y-yes I guess I do like him a bit, but... well... I..." I stutter as I find it hard to word what I was thinking.
"I understand sister, but lets just keep this between the two of us alright? I believe that if Acnologia feels the same, he will in time admit it." My sister reassured.
I smile as we make our way to the exit of the Everfree forest, and into Ponyville. As soon as Twilight stepped out of the forest... She stopped dead in her tracks. This caused everypony else to halt as well.
"Miss Sparkle?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"
"I just realized that when Acnologia was telling us his story, he used the words several hundred years... How old is this guy?! I mean, he told us that he was a former human, turned dragon and from my previous research in the Canterlot library, I deduced that dragons only live for at least two hundred years." Twilight pondered.
"Well he is from a very different place Twi, so maybe the dragons in this Fiore place live a lot longer." Applejack suggested. "And he did say how old he was. He told us that he was over four hundred years old." Applejack corrected the Unicorn.
"Well let's not dwell on that for now, because ITS TIME FOR A PARTY~" Pinkie yelled as Twilight and her friends led the group into Ponyville as I carried the still sleeping Acnologia on my back.
Third Person POV
As the Mane six, Princess Luna and Celestia, and Acnologia exited the forest, far inside the darkened forest, a brilliant light flashed leaving behind two figures, unconscious. The first was male and the second was a female. Their faces directed at each other with loving smiles. The male was wearing a high-collared black robe, with gold trims, and a white toga that draped around his torso, with his hair black, and his skin pale. His hand was holding the females hand, as her long golden hair draped around her ankles, and she wore a pink layered robe with a hot pink bow tied around her neck, as the wing like headbands could be seen in her flowing hair, as her fair tanned skin is seen and she wears no shoes. As both of them lay with their stomachs to the ground, a pitch black and cursed aura surrounds them, and after a little while, the pitch black aura begins to leave them as if the new setting that is around them pulls the curse away, and the curse that they both once shared, gone and it dissipates into the wind, piece by piece, it then eventually is destroyed. The scene then fades onto the unconscious female, and her face is shown. Then suddenly a voice is heard from an unknown location. The voice is sweet and caring, as the female then scrunches her eye lids, and her eyes swing open revealing her moss green, with no pupils.
The scene quickly fades to black as the words "An Apocalyptic Displacement" appears, and a golden light swirls around the words before finally settling in front of the title, and this is seen. Before fading to complete darkness, and the words "To Be Continued" can be seen.

Chapter 2- The Black Wizard, and The Tactician
Chapter 2- The Black Wizard, and The Tactician
Acnologia POV
"Ugh, how long was I out?" I ask myself as I sluggishly open my eyes.
I look around the room and I notice that I was in some kind of infirmary. I could tell by the layout of the room that it wasn't the Ponyville hospital. I then hear the door open and I look to see Princess Luna, and Celestia enter.
"You're finally awake! How long were you planning on sleeping?" Luna joked.
"I don't know, but how long was I out?" I once again as the celestial sisters.
"You were out for three days, Acnologia." Celestia answered.
My eyes went wide as she told me. I was sleeping for three days!? Damn! I must've really been out of it, but for some reason, I feel more powerful. Like I literally could cause the apocalypse. I then remembered about Acnologia's magical resistance, and about his spells.
"Welp…" I start as I get out of the hospital bed. "Now that I'm awake, where am I?" I ask the sisters, as I walk towards them.
"Thou art in the Canterlot castle." Luna tells me, as she reverts back to her olden way of speaking.
I walk out of the infirmary to immediately feel a cool air on my torso. I stop mid walking, and I turn around to see Luna, and Celestia snickering as Luna uses her magic, and levitates my cloak and necklace over to me.
"Was it fun giggling that I forgot to put my cloak on? Or did you like what you saw?" I teased Luna.
After saying that, I can officially say that I made best princess blush. I watch as her face light up and immediately turned as red as the dragon teeth on my necklace. I chuckle and we walk out of the infirmary, and I take all of the sight in. I saw that the walls had a violet purple, and the glass windows were gigantic! Literally! They were three times the size of me! The carpet on the ground was oddly a crimson red, which peaked my interest however, I payed no mind to it. The three of us walked down the halls to the main throne room, and as we were walking there I had only just realized the size difference between the three of us. While Celestia is eight feet tall, Luna was six feet tall. Me on the other hand... I am NINE FUCKING FEET TALL! As the great and pervy Tucker from RvB once said "W-T-Fuck!?", and that is what my thoughts screamed as I kept a neutral look on my face. As the three of us walked into the throne room, I was greeted by the blinding light that shone from the stained glass windows that showed all of the events that had taken place. I looked at one of them, and I noticed that it depicted Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Twilight using the Elements of Harmony to blast the absolute shit, out of Nightmare Moon. I then noticed that above this image was... Me? The pose I was in was one that looked like I was about to strike Nightmare with a dragon powered Falcon punch.
"Hey Celestia?" I called out to the solar diarchy. "I understand why the girls are in this one, but... Why am I depicted in it too? I mean, all I did was stall for enough time for Twilight's friends to get there." I asked the eldest sister.
"I included you in there because you helped in more ways than just stalling." She explained, as she, Luna, and myself walked to their thrones. "You helped Twilight realize how much she cared about her friends, and you also helped weaken Nightmare's hold on Luna, so that the Elements could do their work better."
Celestia sits down on her throne, as Luna sits next to it. I take a stand next to the lunar diarchy, and The solar diarchy explains that in a few minutes day court would start. I pass the time by talking to the diarchies about what had happened since I was out, and they explained how, while I was out, Twilight had found a friendship problem to solve almost every day, with the latest being how Applejack was being a stubborn mare, and had refused help in clearing the apple-buck season orchard. After Luna finished explaining the details to me, I whistled in amazement as I never thought that Applejack could've actually scared the shit out of so many bunnies that it would cause a fluffy stampede.
"Well, it's almost time for day court to begin. Guards! Bring in the first pony please." Celestia announced to her Royal Guards.
After a few minutes of waiting, the Guards came back followed by a huge, and I cannot stress this enough when I say that this line, was fucking HUGE! I saw every equation, and in my head, as well as using my new heightened senses, I figured that there was around 50,000 nobles in line. Jaysus… I knew that day court was kinda stressful, but I never imagined that it would've been like this! The first few nobles weren't anything special or eventful. Most of them had common complaints, and one of them told us that they were just there to welcome Luna back! This made me smile but as this pony left, the real shit-show began. Up walked a female pony with a hair... Mane? Whatever, they walked up with a hairdo that screamed 'I want to talk with your boss!' Otherwise known, as the classic Karen haircut. Which I will now call her. She walked up, and once I got a good look at her, I saw that her fur was a gloomy grey, and I could feel that her magical aura, if used enough, could affect everyone's mood and give us, an absolute shitty day. Then there is the part where the bitch spoke.
"Princess Celestia, I have come here today before you, to talk to you about an urgent matter." Karen announced with a seething amount of entitlement. "You see a few hours ago I went to a local restaurant, and when I asked for a lettuce salad they told me that they only had a daisy salad left! I told them what I wanted and when I asked for the manager, they told me that they really didn't have and lettuce salad left! This! Is! An! Outrage!" The Karen complained. "I demand that this restaurant be closed for such lousy service!" The bitch finished.
I make this face and I turn my head towards Celestia, and I very quietly ask: "Is this the kind of dogshit you've had to deal with for a thousand friggin' years? If so, I feel bad for you."
"Oh you don't even know the half of it." She quietly replies. "I am very sorry, but I cannot close a restaurant, or anyplace for that matter without a justified reason, and lousy service is not justified. You may leave now."
I watch as the Karen grumbles something under her breath, which I really just ignored and watched her stalk off as if Celestia had just framed her for murder. The rest of the day, was just petty complaints, and the worst one was just a noise complaint which was resolved quickly. After they all left, Luna went to her room to go to sleep, and Celestia went to go talk to the chefs about lunch. As for me, I went back to the infirmary, to take a nap. After all, I did have to listen to Karen's BS, and I'm just plain lazy. After I got back onto the bed, I closed my eyes and let the darkened silence of sleep overtake me, but before I fell asleep, I felt a new magical presence. I just ignored it, and went to sleep.
??? POV
I slowly opened my eyes to see that Zeref was sleeping soundly next to me. I felt the smooth, roughness on my cheek, as the dirt- wait... dirt? Shouldn't me and Zeref be dead? Didn't we die? I sat up, and looked around to see that a forest with night black trees surrounded us. I looked up and I could barely see the blue sky through the enormous foliage. I was confused. I looked back to see Zeref, and I shook him slightly. He started to stir a little, but he turned over, and went back to sleep.
"C'mon Zeref! Wake up!" I pouted.
"Five more minutes Mavis." Zeref waved me off.
Seconds after saying that, he immediately sat up, and his darkened black eyes darted around with lighting speed, likely because he's trying to find out where we are, and why we aren't dead. He stopped looking around, and he turned to me.
"M-Mavis... I-Is it really you?" He stuttered as his eyes watered with tears. "Are we really alive?" He strained out.
I started t tear up as well, because the love of my life was still alive. I was still alive. I reached out, and grabbed his hand and held it tight.
"Yeah... I-It's really me Zeref. We're alive." I stuttered a reply out. "B-but what of our curse?"
"When we 'Died' in Fiore, our curse was destroyed with us." Zeref explained, as he wiped his tears, before his eyes went wide. "Which means, that we're alive, and we can live normal lives!"
I squealed with happiness, and I jumped onto him, giving him a tight hug, which I felt him return. After a few seconds, I released him of the hug, and I placed my hands onto his cheeks, and I leaned in towards his face. I then did what I've wanted to do for the longest time. I kissed him. I had finally gotten the chance to kiss the man that I've loved for a hundred years. Once we parted, I looked deep into his eyes, and pressed my forehead against his. We then both got up, and we started to walk in a random direction, our hands intertwined with each other.
"When do you think we'll get out of this place? It kinda gives me the creeps." I told Zeref.
"I don't know Mavis, but we should be getting out soon." He assured me.
Just as I opened my mouth to say something, we could start to hear someone singing. I held my hand up to my ear, and listened. I then looked at Zeref, and he looked to me. We both smiled and nodded to each other, and we walked towards the singing. After a few feet we started to see sunlight. We then broke from the tree line, and saw that it wasn't a person that was singing. What we saw was a yellow cream colored winged pony, with a pink mane and tail, and on their flank, they had a marking that had three pink butterflies. They hadn't noticed the two of us, so I took a step forward.
"H-Hello?" I called out.
"Hmm...?" The pony turned around, and she gasped. "W-Who are y-y-you?" The winged pony asked terrified.
"Hey, it's ok. We're not going to hurt you." Zeref tried to calm them down, while it only worked slightly, they did calm a little. "My name is Zeref Dragneel. This is my...." He then turned to me. "Are you my wife now, or are we just dating?" He asked.
"Dating for now." I answered.
"And this is my Girlfriend Mavis Vermilion. Do you know where we are?" Zeref asked the pony.
"Well, m-my name is F-Fluttershy, and you're in Equestria." She answered, sheepishly.
"Well it's nice to meet you Fluttershy." I said cheerfully. "Do you know if there's a continent called Fiore near here?" I asked.
The winged pony, Fluttershy then calmed down almost instantly. She then looked at the two of us with a slightly confused look.
"Fiore? Like where Acnologia came from?" She asked.
Me and Zeref immediately froze. I felt him tense up as he started to slightly squeeze my hand. My eyes went wide, and I gasped slightly.
"Y-You mean, the black dragon of the Apocalypse, is HERE?" I asked with worry, and fear laced into my words, and my voice.
"Mm-Hmm. He should be at Canterlot castle right now healing." Fluttershy told us like nothing was wrong.
"Why are you treating him!?" Zeref asked with panic in his voice.
I had the exact same question. Why were these ponies treating such an irredeemable creature?! Don't they know that when he wakes he will kill them all!?
"Well because he's our friend." She told us causing us to just stare in disbelief.
We just stared at the winged pony for a few awkward seconds before she decided to speak up.
"W-Was it something I said?" She stuttered. "If I said anything mean, I'm sorry I didn't mean to I just-" She started before I cut her off.
"Hold on a second... The literal incarnation of the apocalypse, is your friend!?" I questioned.
"Uh... Yes?" She sheepishly answered.
"Can you take us to him please?" I asked.
"Oh! Sure! I was going with some friends of mine to go see him today anyway, so yeah! You can tag along!" Fluttershy said before flying towards a cottage, which was probably her house.
Me and Zeref stood there just soaking in what she had told us. Acnologia had made friends. Was this really Acnologia? Was this really the same Acnologia that we had fought in Fiore? As these questions floated in my head, Fluttershy exited her cottage, and told us to follow her. Once we got to what looked like a train station, I saw six other creatures standing there as one of them was flying. I saw that the one that was flying had cyan blue fur, with a rainbow colored mane, and tail, and she had on her flank an image of a cloud shooting out a bolt of rainbow colored lightning. Another was a pony with no wings, and they wearing a country hat like Bisca's hat, and her fur was an orange color, and her mane was a white blondish, as was her tail, and they both were tied up in a bun, and on her flank was a marking of three red apples. The next was a white furred pony that had a horn on their forehead, and they had purple colored curled mane and tail, with an image of three diamonds on her flank. The pony standing next to her was one that was pure pink, as their mane tail and fur, was very pink, and their mane and tail was super messy, and it almost looked like an afro but was messy in a way that it wasn't an afro, and dawned on their flank laid an image of three balloons with two of the balloons being blue, and the third being yellow. The last was a velvet purple furred pony that also had a horn on their head, and their mane and tail was a very dark purple with a lighter purple strip running down the middle of their hair, and on their flank was a picture of a star that had six smaller stars surrounding it. The last creature looked like a dragon, that had purple scales, with a tan underbelly, and they had emerald green spines.
"Hey everypony! I made it, and I've also brought along two new friends." Fluttershy told them all, as they turned to look at me and Zeref.
I just waved awkwardly, as Zeref looked really nervous.
"HimynameisPinkiePie!What'syournames?Alsowhatareyourbirthdays?Whatareyourfavoriteflavorofcakeandpie?Oh!AND--" The pink pony shouted as she basically teleported straight up to our faces, and she was cut off by the orange pony putting her hoof into the pink pony's mouth.
"Sorry 'bout her. She can get a bit over excited." The orange one apologized. "Anyway, my name's Applejack. The Pegasus over there is Rainbow Dash, the white Unicorn's Rarity, the other Unicorn's Twilight, the dragon's name is Spike, and this one-" She gestured to the pink pony. "Is Pinkie Pie. What's your names?"
All I could do was let out an "Umm..." and stare as all of them looked like everything was ok. Even though Acnologia was here.
"W-Well, m-my name's Mavis, and this is my boyfriend Zeref. Can I ask you a question?" I told/asked Applejack.
"Sure, go ahead sugar-cube." Applejack replied.
"How can you all act so normal when Fiore's greatest threat is literally in a castle!?" I scream out.
"What do you mean?" The velvet Unicorn Twilight asked.
"Acnologia, is the world's strongest wizard, and the world's greatest threat, and you have him in a castle and are treating him! Why!?" Zeref yelled.
"Hey!" The cyan Pegasus Rainbow Dash called out. "You got a problem with him? Are you two spies!?" She accused us as she got directly into my face.
Before I could answer Rainbow Dash was yanked back by Zeref grabbing the scruff of her neck, and he held her up to his face. I also noticed that his eyes had changed color, as they do when he gets mad, or angry.
"Now you listen here, and you listen well. Don't you EVER, talk to Mavis like that. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?" He screamed at the terrified Pegasus.
Rainbow Dash nodded fearfully as Zeref dropped her, and his eyes went back to normal. Then Twilight walked up to me, and in a much kinder tone she spoke.
"Why don't we settle this once we're at Canterlot. I have a feeling that Acnologia is going to have a lot of explaining to do." She suggested, as the most colorful train I've ever seen pulls into the station.
After we all get on, me and Zeref take a seat next to each other. I then leaned onto his shoulder, and then I felt his head land on top of mine. I quietly heard his snores as they lulled me into a sleep as well. I just hope that this Acnologia isn't like the one from Fiore. I thought before my eyes closed and I became unconscious.

Chapter 3- A Very Shitty Reunion, A Very Shitty Prince, A Painful Memory Uncovered, And A New Family
Acnologia’s POV
I lay there having a pretty nice dream about me laying in a bed of flowers, and let me tell you, these flowers were AMAZING! They felt like literal clouds and they were in a multitude of colors ranging from Red Roses, to Blue Violets. I was in absolute peace. At least I was… Because after a few hours of me resting in my dream, I was rudely awakened by somepony poking my fucking side.
I scrunch my eyes in irritation, as I slowly awoke from my peaceful dream. I groan in annoyance as I slowly open my eyes. I feel the golden rays of the sun, push ever-so softly against my tanned skin. I then get poked again.
Sweet ever-loving god or goddess of death please have mercy on whatever poor soul decided to fucking wake me up by poking me in the shitting side. I thought as I looked over to my left. I then immediately take the poor soul mercy thing as I see the fucktard who woke me up.
Oh fer’ fucks sake! I internally scream, as I just dead-eye stare at the fucker who woke me up.
His mane and tail were a bright blonde, and his fur was an anti-void white. His eyes were a light blue, and he was wearing a white tuxedo. The little shit that woke was none-other than the entitled prick himself, Prince muthafucking Blueblood. This. Little. Shit.
“Who are you, vile creature? Why are you in the Royal Palace?” The prick asked with the oh-so iconic bitch voice.
I just deadpanned at him before saying: “Your aunt Celestia let me here, and I was having a great dream until you rudely woke me up. So, if you’ll excuse me, I’ma go back to sleep. So, fuck off.” I waved my left hand lazily at him while turning over and pointing my back to him.
“UGH! HOW DARE YOU! GAURDS ARREST THIS CREATURE AND SEND HIM TO THE DUNGEONS!!” Blueballs cried.
I looked over my shoulder to see two guards just standing there. Not doing a goddamned thing. I smile and face back to where I’m looking at the other wall, away from the entitled dick that is Blueblood. I close my eyes to try to go back to my nap, and just I am about to drift back into sleep. I’m shoved off the goddamned bed. I could feel the cold tiled floor, and I can hear the little shit that pushed me smirking and chuckling. I look over to see Blueblood smiling like a little fucker.
This. Little. Bitch. I think angrily.
I then get up off the ground, and stand at my full height, which is NINE. FEET. TALL. And it smacks the smile off the pricks face immediately. I walk over to him and while he is still frozen in fear, I yank him off the ground and I stare deep into his soul.
“Let me make one thing fucking clear. You do not, EVER fuck with my sleep. BECAUSE IF YOU DO, I WILL RIP YOUR SPINE OUT AND BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH IT. AND BEFORE YOU SAY THAT’S IMMPOSSIBLE, ASK THE LAST SHITHEAD THAT FUCKED WITH MY SLEEP. OH, WAIT YOU CAN’T BECAUSE HE’S DEAD. DO I MAKE MYSELF FUCKING CLEAR, YOU LITTLE SHIT?!” I scream into his soul.
He gives a terrified nod before I let him fall ass first onto the ground. To which he promptly runs the fuck away in terror. I smile at my handiwork, and I lay back down onto the bed to catch a few more Z’s. Unfortunately, Celestia had other plans for me.
“Sir Acnologia, Princess Celestia calls for your presence in the throne room.” A Unicorn Guard told me.
The guard was wearing the standard golden armor, and his mane and tail were a deep blue. His fur was a greyed white, and his Cutie Mark was a deep blue shield with a purple six-pointed star. This was indeed, Shinning Armor. Twilight’s big brother best friend forever. That name is still very weird.
“Alright, just let me get up.” I tell him.
I then get out of the gurney bed I had slept in, and I stood to my full height. I then walked over to the counter and I put my black cloak, and dragon tooth necklace on. I then walked over to Shinning, and he led me to the throne room.
While walking down the halls I noticed a few guards that weren’t there before. Most notably, I saw four dragon guards. This had caught my immediate interest. We walked past them, and Shinning opened the doors to reveal the throne room, which was now filled with several dragon guards, and what looked to be a few dragon nobles. Princess Celestia, and Luna were there of course too, and there was the Elements of Harmony and Spike, but there were two cloaked figures. This made me go on the defensive. I then slightly tensed my muscles.
“Ah, Acnologia. Thank you for joining us.” Celestia greeted. “I hope you got a well night’s sleep.”
“Yeah, I got a great sleep. Though I was rudely awakened by somepony, poking me in the side, but other than that, yeah. I had a good sleep.” I responded with the famous monotone Acnologia voice. “So, you mind telling me what’s going on here?”
“Acnologia, I’d like you to meet some of the nobles from the dragon lands. They act as representatives for the current Dragon Lord, Torch.” Celestia explained.
The first noble that walked up to me looked more like a general as he was wearing some sort of armor. But his scales were salmon red, and he had a huge scar that formed an “X” over his chest, and he had another scar that looked like a burn on his left side. He looked at me and said: “Hello there. My name is General Igneel Dragneel.”
My outside reaction was the same as I raised my hand and he shook it, and I replied: “My name’s Acnologia. It’s nice to meet you General.” However, my internal reaction was anything but tame, and calm.
HOLY MOTHER OF THE LORD ABOVE, IGNEEL EXISTS IN THIS WORLD!? My thoughts screamed as the other dragons introduced themselves.
The other dragons didn’t seem like much, as they were normal nobles but Igneel still lingered in my mind. Didn’t Celestia remember that in Fiore, I killed Igneel? I didn’t dwell on that long, as the cloaked figures were about to introduce themselves.
“Hello, what are your names?” I asked the tallest figure while holding my hand out.
“… You don’t recognize me?” The figure asked as I stopped dead.
My eyes went wide and I was shocked. That voice. That voice was Zeref’s.
“It seems he does recognize us.” The shortest pointed out.
My blood chilled. That voice. That voice! I-It’s Mavis’!
“You do remember us don’t you Acnologia?” The tallest spoke in Zeref’s voice causing my heart rate to speed up.
The two figures then took their cloaks off to reveal Zeref and Mavis. They were wearing the same clothes they had on when they died at the final season of Fairy Tail. My heart was beating so fast you could hear it. I took a step back and I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t make a sound. Then memories I wish I’d never see were flooding into my mind. Memories that weren’t from watching the anime. Memories that weren’t mine.
A white flash burned into my vision before fading away and revealing a gruesome scene, as Zeref looking at me with rage induced eyes, as he was holding a girl with long flowing blonde hair, in a pinkish white dress was unconscious in his arms, as they were covered in blood. He was holding Mavis. I looked down to see my hands. Only they weren’t hands. They were claws. They were void black, and they had the same markings as Acnologia did from the show. I looked back up to see myself surrounded by millions of dragon corpses. All of them were ripped limb from limb, and there was blood everywhere. I looked around to see them all staring at me. I looked back in front of me, and I saw Sonya’s beaten and bloodied body laying at my feet.
Her body then started to move slowly before looking at me and weakly saying: “W-Why d-didn’t you s-sa-save me Papa?” I then felt something climbing up my throat and I slapped my hands over my mouth.
I slapped my hands over my mouth, and I bolted out of the room without using my blinding speed. I then pushed and shoved past everypony in my way. I then found the bathroom. I opened the door, and promptly slammed it shut behind me, causing cracks to appear on the walls around the door. I then fell to my knees in front of the toilet and let loose. I furiously vomited into the bowl, and I felt like shit.
As I hung my head near the toilet, another memory flashed through my mind. This one caused me to go wide-eyed, and as the memory played out, I muttered these words over and over again: “No… No way… I-It can’t… It can’t be. It can’t be. That’s not possible…” I muttered as tears bled from my eyes. I then uttered one word. It was a name: “S-Sonya?”
Mavis’ POV
I watched as Acnologia stepped back away from me and Zeref, as I had a look of hate stamped onto my face and Zeref’s eyes were red with hatred and anger. After a few seconds, Acnologia slapped his hands over his mouth and his cheeks inflated with something. He then bolted out of the room. I was left in a state of shock, as a few moments later, the sound of a door slamming appeared. Then the disgusting sound of someone furiously puking caused me to reel back.
“What the heck did you say to him?” Spike asked dumbfounded.
“Oh, I hope he’s okay.” Fluttershy sheepishly said.
What in the world? That wasn’t something the Acnologia I knew back in Fiore would do. Who the hell is this!? I screamed in my thoughts, still shocked at what happened.
I looked over to see a similar reaction on Zeref’s face. After a few minutes of shocked silence, the doors opened to reveal the Acnologia that had ran out a few minutes ago. He looked like he had seen something that would haunt his dreams. In complete silence he walked back over to the seat between Princess Luna and Princess Celestia, and he sat down. He didn’t give off any reaction. He was completely silent.
“A-Are you okay Acnologia?” Fluttershy softly asked.
“…~~~~~” Acnologia whispered. He had whispered so softly that literally no one could hear it.
“Didn’t quite catch that sugar cube. Could ya say that a bit louder?” Applejack asked.
“… I… I-I was her f-fa… I was Sonya’s father.” He muttered while his navy-blue hair covered his eyes.
We were all left in a reaction of complete and utter shock, and everyone gasped. Sonya was Acnologia’s daughter?
I-I never knew… I thought she was an orphan. Does this mean that… Acnologia watched his own daughter die? Is that why he wanted to kill all the dragons? I thought as I heard drops of water hit the ground.
I looked over to Zeref, and his face was one of dread, shock and sorrow. Again, I heard several drops of water hit the floor.
I looked back over to Acnologia to see a steady stream of tears bleeding from his eyes. He was crying. Princess Luna then wrapped her hooves around Acnologia’s neck and hugged him tightly. Slowly the crying former-human wrapped his arms around Luna’s neck and buried his face into her shoulder.
Third Person POV
Acnologia buried his face into the shoulder of the Princess of the Night, and his tears flooded from his eyes. Some of them streamed and dropped onto the floor, as others were buried into Luna’s shoulder. Everyone, and everypony had different thoughts about this new revelation.
Sonya was Acnologia’s daughter?! I-Is this why he wanted me to cast that spell that turned him into a dragon!? But who was the mother?! So many questions burned through Zeref’s mind, as he stood there watching the former King of Dragons, and Harbinger of the Apocalypse cry.
Oh no. I-Is this the real reason behind him going on a rampage? Twilight thought as she started to tear up.
He lost his daughter… Just like I lost my parents. Applejack thought while staring wide eyed at Acnologia.
That’s… dreadful. Rarity thought simply.
T-That’s so sad. Pinkie Pie thought as her hair deflated and became flat.
Dude… How… How did he go through so many years of feeling that pain? Rainbow thought as she looked down at the ground.
Fluttershy didn’t think anything as she just held Spike like the world might end, and Spike just sat there and imagined if he lost someone close to him, like Twilight.
Just what have you suffered through Acnologia? Celestia thought as she watched her sister hug the crying dragon.
Is this really what happened Acnologia? Why didn’t you let me help you so long ago? Igneel thought as his eyes were filled with sympathy.
“Shh… Shh…” Luna cooed as she ran her hoof through Acnologia’s hair calming his sorrow. “It will be okay. I’m here for you. It’ll be alright. You don’t have to worry anymore. It’s okay.” She soothed the grieving Acnologia’s sorrow.
Soon Acnologia stopped crying and Luna released him of the soothing hug, but she still held her hoof to his back. Acnologia then wiped the rest of his tears away and looked back up to Zeref and Mavis.
“I don’t blame you for hating me. I hurt you and so many others. If anything, I deserve your rage.” Acnologia told them with sadness still evident in his voice.
Mavis then ran over to Acnologia and jumped at him, wrapping her arms around his torso. She hugged him tight and said: “NO! If anything, our rage was misguided! You were grieving, and you were in pain! You had every right to be angry.” She told the dragon. “I’m sorry you had to go through that pain.”
Zeref then walked over and put his hand on Acnologia’s shoulder. Acnologia looked up and faced Zeref as Mavis still hugged the dragon father. Zeref then said: “We’re here for you now Acnologia. You don’t have to be in pain anymore. Please accept our apology, and our friendship.” Zeref asked Acnologia.
“Heh… I’ve already forgiven you.” Acnologia stated as he pulled Zeref into a hug and returned the one given to him by Mavis.
The three wizards released themselves from the hug, and the rest of the meeting went by without problem. Igneel then had to leave and report back to Lord Torch about his findings. After Igneel left, the meeting then became lunch. Everypony had gotten salads while Acnologia had gotted some fruit, and a few gems.
As Acnologia reached for some of the fruit, his hand stopped and he eyed the gems for a bit, before picking one up and hesitantly putting a part of the gem in his mouth. He then bit down. And then immediately started to devour the gems. To him they tasted as if he was eating twenty cupcakes at the same time. Needless to say, there was a shit ton of sugar.
After eating the last gem, he and Spike at the same time burped very loudly. The two dragons looked at each other before smiling and laughing followed by the others laughing as well. After the laughing settled down, Acnologia then picked up his cup of water and smiled.
“I think it’s about time I told you what my real name is.” He said.
Everypony, and everyone immediately stopped eating and looked straight to Acnologia.
“Whatever do you mean darling? Isn’t your name Acnologia?” Rarity asked.
“While yes that is my name, it’s not my real name.” Acnologia explained.
“Well then, what is it?” Luna asked the dragon.
“Heh. Well my real name… is Acnori Quill.” Acnori told them all. “But my friends in Japan used to call me Quill. And you all are my friends so please, call me Quill.” Quill told them.
After getting used to calling Acnologia, Quill lunch had ended. And it was time for the Elements of Harmony to return home.
“Well, I believe it is time for us to return to Ponyville.” Twilight pointed out. “Thank you for inviting us Princesses.” The Element of Magic thanked the celestial Princesses.
“Well could I go back to Ponyville with you guys?” Quill asked. “I mean, it’d be easier for Zeref, Mavis and myself to get used to being here. Oh, and Luna?” Quill suggested.
“Yes?” Luna asked.
“Could you keep an eye on my dreams? I don’t want painful memories giving me nightmares.” Quill said while rubbing his arm.
“I will be sure to do so.” Luna reassured him.
“Thanks Luna!” Quill said before giving Luna a big hug.
After releasing Luna from the hug, Quill, Zeref, Mavis, Spike, and the rest of the Elements walked to the train station, while the three wizards got strange looks from the nobles of Canterlot. They didn’t mind. As they all got onto the train, Mavis brought up problem they would have.
“Have either of you thought about where we would stay?” She asked.
“We could buy a house.” Quill told her as Mavis sat between him and Zeref.
“But we don’t have any currency.” Zeref said.
“Wait a sec let me check…” Quill told them while putting his hand in his pocket. “… Ah! Here we go!” He said in victory as he pulled out a wallet.
The wallet was a pitch black color and it had a navy-blue Fairy Tail symbol on it. Opening it he found a void. No literally he found a pocket dimension in his wallet.
“Uhhhhhh… Why is there a little dimension in your wallet Quill?” Mavis asked while the three wizards looked at the wallet with confusion.
“I have no idea.” Quill responded.
Quill then reached his hand into his wallet and he reached all the way until his entire left arm was inside the wallet. Zeref looked at the wallet in pure confusion, while Mavis giggled at Zeref’s face. Once Quill pulled his arm out and in his hand was a bag filled with ten thousand gold coins.
“Well… Hey Twilight?” Quill called.
“Hmm?” She responded.
“How much would a house in Ponyville cost?” He asked.
“I believe a small house would cost around a thousand bits. Why?” She asked.
“What could you buy with ten thousand bits?” Mavis asked.
“I’d say a small mansion at least.” Twilight responded.
“Well…” Zeref started. “Then we’ve got a small mansion.” Zeref said while he and the other two wizards look at the bag with a deadpan stare.
“Oh…” Twilight responded as the other Elements and Spike had heard as well.
The camera then pans to the outside of the train when several voices are heard screaming one thing:
“Wait……... WHAT?!” All the Elements of Harmony, and Spike scream.
Time skip brought to you by Mavis, Zeref, and Quill standing side by side, and they’re showing off their Fairy Tail symbols. Quill is looking at the screen with his back facing the screen, and a navy-blue Fairy Tail symbol is seen on his right shoulder blade. Zeref is looking at the screen facing forwards and his head is facing up, which shows his flame red Fairy Tail symbol on the middle of his neck. Mavis is in between the two of them with her left arm in the air in the position for number one, and her sleeve had slide down to reveal her golden Fairy Tail symbol on her arm.
Acnologia/Quill’s POV
We arrived at Ponyville with little problem, except for the part where I had to explain that my wallet had a void in it. That was fucking confusing. But other than that, the trip was pretty uneventful. We all got off the train, and everypony had to leave and go home, while Twilight, and Spike led me, Zeref, and Mavis to town hall to meet the Mayor of Ponyville, who is named with a pun. Mayor Mare. As the five of us walked over to the hall I saw that many ponies were staring at us. I ignored it just as Zeref and Mavis did. We then reached town hall, and we were introduced to Mayor Mare who didn’t really mind of what we looked like.
“So, how can I help you.” The Mayor asked.
“Well, we would like to buy a house.” Zeref told her.
“Alright…” She started while pulling out several folders. “This is what we have available.”
I picked up a folder, as did Zeref and Mavis, and I started to look through the details.
So, this building has three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. It has a pretty big backyard, and it has three floors. The basement, the attic, and the floor with the bedrooms. It has a family room, kitchen, a porch, and it also has a few other rooms that could be used as entertainment rooms. It also has an office which I could use. Now the cost… Only six thousand? Hm… well this looks like a good one. I read through the folder. I then flipped the page to see what it actually looks like. It looked like my old house back in Japan. I smiled and closed the folder. I saw that Zeref and Mavis were finishing up looking at the folders as well.
“Hmm… I don’t think I like this one.” Zeref mumbled about his.
“Yeah this one doesn’t stand out to me.” Mavis agreed about hers.
“Well, how about this one?” I asked while showing the folder to them.
After a minute of conversing, we agreed that we would get the one I chose.
“Alright, that’ll be six thousand bits please.” Mayor told me, as I pulled my wallet out, and grabbed the bag of bits, but this time it had six thousand bits exactly.
She took the bits and put them in a safe. She then took out three keys and gave one to each of us. She gave me a map with the location of the home I bought. I was located right on the outskirts of town. Exactly where I’d like it.
“C’mon guys. Hurry up! I want to see our new home!” Mavis cheered excitedly.
“Alright one sec.” Zeref reassured her.
I smiled and looked at the road ahead of us. The road to our new home. Along the way Mavis had climbed onto my shoulders and was now atop my head. Her hands were on my head and it felt like I was with my little sister again. I smiled at the memory and continued onwards.
“Hey.” I said to get Mavis and Zeref’s attention. “Now that we live in the same house, would this technically make us family?” I asked.
“Hehehe! I’d love to have you as a brother Quill!” Mavis giggled as she hugged my head.
“I wouldn’t mind.” Zeref told me.
“Well I guess that settles it.” I told myself.
We then arrived at the house. I looked at it, and let Mavis get down. I walked up the steps to the front door and I found a note taped onto the front door.
Hello there Acnori! It is I, your friendly multiverse displacer, The Merchant. I took the liberty of transporting your house here along with different clothes for you Mavis, and Zeref. Your welcome. Until next time! Ta-ta!
I smiled and took the note off the door. I then took out my key. I then turned it and with a click, the door was unlocked. I turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. Mavis and Zeref shortly followed me inside, and we decided on who would get which room. We decided that since Mavis and Zeref were a couple that they would share a room while I got one to myself. My room was a fairly normal and standard room. It had a window right next to the bed, and the bed itself was twelve feet long, and nine feet wide. It had three pillows, which were all a sea blue color. The sheets were a dark grey, and the walls were painted the same navy-blue color as my hair and tattoos. The floor had a night blue carpet, and I thought ‘Perfect’ as it was the same room that I had back in Japan. I smiled and walked out of the room. I then walked into the kitchen and found where everything was. I got several items out and I opened the fridge to find it full.
“Oh! Nice!” I laughed as I got several things out.
I then started to make a dish which I was best at making. Spaghetti. I got all the necessary ingredients and made enough for three people. After a few minutes of cooking, the dish was ready.
“Mavis! Zeref! Dinner’s ready!” I called up to them.
“Oh sweet!” I heard Mavis cry as she ran into the kitchen and sat at the dining table.
Instead of wearing her signature pinkish white dress, she was wearing a fluffy pink hoodie that had a golden Fairy Tail symbol on the front, and she was wearing a matching set of fluffy pink pants. I then saw Zeref walk in wearing a black t-shirt that had a flame red Fairy Tail symbol on the front as well, and he had on a pair of black sweat pants on, and he was wearing a set of fuzzy black slippers. I smile and set the plates down in front of them.
“Well, since this is our first dinner together, how about a toast?” I say while giving them a glass of grape-juice.
Zeref eyed the drink as I gave it to Mavis, but his suspicion was calmed when I said that it was grape juice.
“A toast! TO FAMILY!” I yelled.
“TO FAMILY!” Zeref and Mavis yelled as we clinked our glasses together.
We then started to eat and talk about what we would do tomorrow. I then brought up the possibility of us making it back to Fiore. It was a possibility, but we didn’t worry about it. We ate dinner sharing laughs, and once we were done, Zeref and Mavis went up to bed while I cleaned the dishes. It had gotten really dark out and I took a step outside on the porch. I took a deep breath in and exhaled out. I smiled and looked at Luna’s beautiful night.
“Merchant, if you’re responsible for giving me the shit ton of bits and the pocket dimension wallet, thank you.” I said quietly.
Just as I was about to head back in the house, I saw a flash of light in the distance. It looked golden and red. I looked at it and I used my heightened sight to see what it was. Though I could only make out one figure, and I did smell that this was some sort of magic. But as soon as it appeared, it vanished. I decided not to think about it and go to bed. I walked into the house and turned off the kitchen and Livingroom lights. After that I walked up the stairs to my room.
Once I got up to my room, I opened my door and walked in. I then closed it behind me so no one could disturb me, and I opened my dresser to find a set of PJs’. They were only the PJ pants but that didn’t bother me. The pants were a black color and they looked just like the pants I usually wore except they had the same markings as my tattoos, and they were way fuzzier. I then got into my bed and closed my eyes. I wonder what episode tomorrow will be. I soon felt the uninterrupted relief of sleep pass over my body, mind, and soul, ready for anything that the next day would bring.
Dream Scape- Third Person POV
Princess Luna was doing her nightly responsibility and destroying the nightmares her subject had during the nights and she was walking by the doors of several different ponies. The void around her looked as if she was standing in the night sky itself. She then passed by three doors that held the dreams of Quill, Zeref, and Mavis. Quill’s door was marked with a navy-blue Fairy Tail symbol. Zeref’s was marked with a flame red Fairy Tail symbol, and Mavis’ was marked with a golden Fairy Tail symbol. As Luna walked by the three doors, a small glow appeared next to the tree wizard’s doors and silently out of the lunar ground. And swiftly without making any noise, another door appeared. This door was marked by several objects that looked like sword, and they were connected to each other by the hilts, and they formed a partial circle.
The camera then pans into the door and goes through. The scene then shows not a dream, but a memory. The scene shows the strongest of the Ten Wizard Saints laying on the ground, defeated as three figures stand in front of them. The most notable of them was one wizard by the name of God Serena. He and two of his Ishgar allies stood on either side of him. As Serena gloated and boasted about his victory in the distance in front of him a figure walked towards them.
The figure was nine feet tall, and he had navy-blue tattoos and very long and messy navy-blue hair. He wore a cloak that covered his left arm as it had been torn off. He was wearing black pants and a red dragon tooth necklace. This was Fiore’s Acnologia.
“Oh, and who might this be?” Serena asked with cockiness written in his words.
As Acnologia walked ever closer Serena continued to boast and got into a fighting stance. But just as he began his sentence, he stopped. And the blades on his back fell to the ground, destroyed. And behind him with his right arm extended, was Acnologia.
“Now only seven dragons remain.” Fiore’s Dragon King stated simply as he continued walking.
The other Ishgar wizards were in complete fear and shock, as was the strongest Wizard Saints. Serena’s arms fell to his sides, and his legs gave out. He then fell to the ground.
He was DEAD.
The scene then turns into a white void containing a woman in a tribal dress, while the rest of her facial features were covered by a hood she wore. This was the Goddess of Death, Ahnkseram. She looked over the dead body of Serena and held his soul.
“You’ve made many mistakes. But everyone deserves a second chance. At least, almost everyone.” She stated simply.
Granting Serena’s soul mercy, she sent it to a world where he could get a second chance to be the good guy for once.
Entrance of The Everfree Forest-Third Person POV
Laying in the dirt, face down was a man. He had several shattered blades surrounding him, and he was wearing clothes similar to what Zeref wore, except the colors were different. Instead of black robes, with white accents, he donned auburn red robes, with gold and white accents. His hair was a fall-leaf color, and his skin was pale white.
The man then shuffled around and his face was shown. On his face was a scar going across his nose, and his eyes were shut. While lying there he started to stir. His eyes scrunched up before one of them flew open revealing several different colors, each representing his different magic types. One section was grey, like a Gale force wind. Another was dark brown, like a Cavern. A different section was an infernal red like Purgatory. Another was deep blue like the Sea. A variation was white like the sun’s Light. Right next to the white section was a section that was pitch black like the Dark Night. And another was Acidic green. The final section was golden yellow, like a Lightning bolt. The screen then flashes into darkness.
As the darkness of the void is ever present, a bright light shimmers and reveals the symbol of the Ten Wizard Saints. And from that light these words are seen:
To Be Continued
Author's Notes:
This chapter struck me when re-reading a Fairy Tail fanfic, here on FimFiction. It gave me and idea. And if you've read any amount of some story, you might be able to tell, that the lore I plan for my stories... Can get almost as deep as FNAF's. And that I am proud of. And the updates will be here and there and I can't guarantee that they will come out for a few weeks or sometimes a month or two, but they will be updated. I can assure you of that. And for this story I had to look at the new Wizard's magic to see what they had but I could only find four. So I had to look the other up using a Wattpad story called "The Dragon Father" by The-Dragon-Hearted. They are partially what inspired me to write this story so please go support them. But until next time, I bid you Adue~
I do not own Fairy Tail nor My Little Pony, nor any of the art used in this or any other chapter.

Chapter 4- How can I help yoooouuuuuuu……… FUCK!! A New Class Session, An Explanation Of Terrifying Magic, And A Sound That Started The Calendar.
God Serena’s POV
My head is pounding. It really fucking hurts. A lot. I push myself off the grass I’m sitting in and with my eyes still shut, I hold my hand to my head to soothe the pain. What was the last thing I remember? Oh, that’s right… I was killed by Acnologia. But, if I was killed, then… Why am I still alive and not in the afterlife? I think back to how Acnologia killed me and I shivered with terror. I had never experienced fear like that.
“Ugh!” I groaned loudly. “Why is everything so confusing?”
I then look around me to see the remains of the blades that had once rested on my back. Their color of black with gold edges shone in the rays of the sun. I walked over to them and peered into their reflective metal. I saw my auburn hair and the scar that ran across my nose. I then looked at my eyes and saw my right eye bearing its natural dirt-brown color. I then saw my left eye and I gasped in shock at what I see. Where the same dirt-brown color as my right eye should be, I instead see a multicolored eye, sporting the same color that would represent each of my dragon slayer magic types. Grey, Dark Brown, Infernal Red, Deep Blue, Pure White, Pitch Black, Acid Green, and Golden Yellow.
“What in the world?” I mumble. “That’s new.” I whisper still shocked. I then stand up and view my surroundings. On the left is a large dark forest with aqua blue thorns and brambles. On the right was a path with a building in the distance. I place my hand up to my chin and think about where to go. “Hmm… Either the dark creepy forest, which probably is home to hundreds of things that would want to kill and eat me… Or the path to a random building.” I think aloud. Then a huge roar of something emits from the forest causing my hair to fly wildly in the wind. “Building it is!” I say before running away from the noise.
After a few minutes of running I was far enough away from that forest. Goodness gracious. What kind of monsters live here?! My brain questioned. I thought back to Fiore and I’ve always known that there wasn’t a forest like that, so I must not be in Fiore anymore. I look around and see the flowing breeze around me. I watch as the breeze flows over, and through the grass. I look up at the sky and notice that it’s not as darkened and after taking a deep breath in, I notice that there is no trace of any, Magical Pollution.
My eyes drift over to the building. I then walk over to it keeping my guard up as I don’t want anything to attack me. Once I’m close enough I notice that off in the distance, laid a small town. As I reached the building, I saw that it was a home. I steeped the porch, and lifted my hand to knock on the door, when:
CRASH!!!
A loud crash exploded from the house and several other sounds of things falling over. Then a voice that was laced with panic screamed:
“SIS!! FUCKIN’ CALM YO’ SELF!!!” The voice screamed with panic and in a pleading tone. “WHY DID I GIVE YOU THAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE!?” It questioned.
My mind was frozen with utter confusion. I then heard a weird song in the background start to play. Then several other loud sounds emitted from the house.
“Z!! GET OFF YOUR ASS AND HELP ME CALM YOUR GIRLFRIEND DOWN!!!” The first voice cried.
“WHAT DO YOU THINK I’M DOING QUILL!?!?” A new, and oddly familiar voice shouted. “MAVIS CALM YOUR SHIT!!!!” The familiar voice bellowed.
“NEEEEEVAAAAAAAAAH!!!!” A young but feminine voice retorted.
What in the fuck is going on in there!? My thoughts asked. But I was soon to get my answer as I heard footsteps getting closer to the door.
Slam!
The door that once rested on the doorframe of the house came flying off its hinges and right onto me, as I laid on the ground in front of the porch.
“Damnit Mavis! Look at what you did! Not even a day of owning this house and something’s already broken!” The first voice scolded.
“I’m sorry.” The childish voice apologized.
“Mavis, it’s fine but next time I tell you, that you can have one cookie, it means only ONE! Not the entire jar.” The first voice sighed. “Your punishment is no cookies for a month.”
“A-Alright.” The child-like voice accepted.
At this point I decided to speak up: “Uhm… Can someone get this door off me please?” I asked with my voice muffled by the wood that rested on my entire body.
“Sorry, here.” The familiar voice apologized before someone lifted the door off me.
I rubbed the back of my head and looked at the person behind the familiar voice. My brain then shut down. Because standing in front of me was the leader of the Alverez Empire, and the creator of the Spriggin Twelve, Zeref Dragneel. And standing next to him also with shocked looks on their faces were The Fairy Tactician, Mavis Vermillion, and The Black Dragon of The Apocalypse: Acnologia. The one that killed me.
“I-I don’t… I can’t… I-Uh, w-wha…” I stuttered, while looking at Acnologia with fear before my eyes rolled back.
I then promptly fainted.
Quill’s POV- Several Minutes Earlier
I let out a big yawn, and the sweet smell of pancakes filled my senses. I then groggily opened my eyes and sat up. I looked around and found myself laying in a very messy bed. I smiled and got out from under the covers. Still in my PJs I walked down the stairs and into the family room to find Mavis watching a cartoon on the TV, and Zeref in the kitchen making pancakes. They were still in their PJs too.
“Morning Mavis, morning Zeref.” I greeted while still half asleep.
“Oh, morning Big Bro!” Mavis greeted with a small smile.
“Good-Morning Quill.” Zeref said while still making the pancakes.
I then walk over and sit on the couch next to Mavis. I continue to watch the show with her. After a little bit Breakfast is ready, after a discussion of how our first night as a family was, Mavis asked a question that I would regret saying yes to.
“Hey Quill?” Mavis said.
“Yeah sis’?” I respond.
“Could I have a cookie?” She asked.
“Sure, but only one.” I tell her as the next thing I see is her completely devouring all the cookies in the entire fucking cookie jar. Zeref then looks at her then at me, then back to her and in unison we both say one thing as she started to vibrate with energy:
“… Fuck.”
Quill’s POV- Present Time
I watch as God Serena faint in front of me. I just blink in utter confusion.
“What in the world?” I silently ask.
I then walk over to the unconscious Serena, and I pick him up bridal style. After two equally confused Zeref, and Mavis follow me, I set him in the extra room that the house had. After a few minutes of silence Zeref asked a question.
“H-How? How is Serena alive?” He muttered.
I think about my answer for a little while before giving that answer: “I believe this may have something to do with either his Magic, or the Goddess of Death Ahnkseram.” I state.
“What do you mean?” Mavis asked looking at me with a puzzled face.
“Well for the first thought, his Dragon Slayer Magic could’ve brought him here for something I like to call “Anime Logic”.” I explained.
“’Anime Logic’?” Zeref asked.
“It basically means that something that shouldn’t happen does happen, and because that happens, it usually involves reasons which will never be explained.” I tell them. “For the second thought, I believe that Ahnkseram gave him a second chance. I believe that she saw that he could still be redeemed. But… I’m not entirely sure.” I finish.
“Hmm… Well the last one is fairly reasonable, and the first one does seem like it would happen, what with Natsu overcoming all the impossible odds.” Mavis contemplated.
As the three of us conversed, my sensitive hearing picked up the sheets on the bed shuffling. I looked over and saw that Serena had woken up and was staring directly at me with fear written all in his eyes. What intrigued me was that his left eye had eight colors, with each representing his Dragon Slayer Types. I reach my hand towards him, but he flinches back. I stop my reach, and I tap Zeref and Mavis on the shoulders.
They both look at Serena. I look at them and nod. When they nod back at me, I reach my hand back out to the cowering Dragon Slayer. As my hand reaches closer, I see him tightly hold his eyes shut like he was waiting for me to harm him. I then grab his shoulder, and I pull him into a hug, which Mavis and Zeref join. I feel his body flinch with shock, and I hear him gasp.
“Please don’t be mad at Quill.” Mavis tells him. “He wasn’t in control back then. He didn’t mean to kill you. He was still grieving and in rage.”
I feel him hug me back, and I feel the warmth of his skin. I then see a golden glow envelop his back, and it slowly but surely starts to envelope his entire being.
Serena frantically looks around at his body as the golden light swallows his entire body, he screams: “Zeref? Mavis? Acnologia? W-What’s happening!?” Then the golden light envelops his entire body and it causes me and the others to shield our eyes.
The light then dies down and I look at what had happened to Serena. Only to see a boy, no older than five, with auburn hair that looked like Kirito’s from Sword Art Online, he was looking at me with heterochromia eyes, as his left eye was the same color as the Serena I saw sitting in his place mere moments ago, and his right eye bearing the same dirt-brown color. On his face was a scar that ran across his nose, and he was wearing a dragon onesie, which looked like my dragon form.
I just sat there in complete and utter shock and confusion, as Mavis and Zeref had the same look.
“Ugh. What in the world? What happened?” The child asked. “Wait… What happened to my voice?! Why do I sound like a kid again?!” The child screamed in terror as his voice was that of a younger Serena’s.
“Uhm… Serena?” Mavis hesitantly asked the child.
“Yes?” The child responded.
“Oh, for frick’s sake.” I say while censoring the cuss word.
I then notice a note next to the now child version of Serena. I picked it up and read it aloud:
“For the people or person that finds this child, please take care of him. I have been merciful and given him a second chance at redemption. Be warned that he holds eight types of Dragon Slayer Magic and his name is Serena. Good Luck, The Goddess of Death: Ahnkseram.” I read.
“Oh, you’ve got to be flipping kidding me.” Serena groaned with an annoyed tone. “I can’t even cuss now!? Gosh Darn it!” He screamed angrily.
“Well… Who’s going to be the guardian of Serena as he grows-“ Mavis started before I cut her off.
“Hold up. There’s more.” I say. “And if you happen to meet Zeref and Mavis, I decided that you both had suffered long enough. And as such got rid of your curse, however. You both are still immortal. Ta-Ta” I finished. “That cheeky Goddess of Death, I bet she turned Serena back into a kid just to screw with us.” The last part I think to myself.
“Welp… At least we’re still immortal.” Mavis points out.
“And as for your first question Mavis, I guess I’ll take care of him.” I tell them gaining shocked looks from everyone. “I mean, he does have Dragon Slayer Magic, and who better to teach him how to use it again, than another Dragon Slayer.” I point out. “Oh, by the way. Serena?” I ask.
“Yeah?” He responds.
“What’s two plus two?” I ask.
“Oh, that’s, uh…. I don’t know.” He says while looking confused.
“And there we go. It seems that he has forgotten all that he had previously learned from school, and probably how to use his Magic.” I explain. “But first things first, I need to get him into school. Luckily I saw a schoolhouse while getting here when we bought this place.”
“Well. You’ve been prepared.” Zeref points out.
I let out a sigh before saying: “When you’ve lived my life, you have to be.”
“Well, why don’t we go out to Ponyville? I mean we still need to get used to this place, and with kid Serena, you need to legally become his guardian, and enroll him in the school.” Zeref told me.
“Ok you guys go on and wait outside, I’ll be here with Serena. I need to do something really quick.” I told them as the two of them walked outside the room. After they left, I then turned to Serena who was sitting there looking very innocent. “Ok, so… I guess I’m your new dad. Now what are we going to do about your clothes?” I mumble the latter to myself.
“Well while you and Zeref were talking, I noticed the closet glowed a little.” Serena told me.
I then walked over to the closet and opened it to reveal several different clothes that would fit Serena. Thank you for the Magic closet Merchant. Thank you. I thought as I took a shirt and pants from the closet and gave it to Serena for him to change.
Once he got dressed, I looked at him and his shirt was an auburn color, with the symbol for the Ten Wizard Saints on the middle of it, with a black Fairy Tail symbol on the side of the chest where the heart would be. His pants were gold with black accents. I smiled and he did as well. The two of us walked out of the house, which had Magically repaired its own door I then noticed that Mavis and Zeref had already gotten dressed.
The four of us then walked down to Ponyville, and about halfway there, I felt someone try and grab my hand. I looked down to see Serena with a small blush on his face.
“Is there something you need Serena?” I ask.
“C-Can I hold your hand? A-And could I c-call you… D-Dad?” He asked sheepishly.
I smile softly and I answer his questions: “For your second question, yes, you can call me your dad, and for your first question… How about I carry you instead!” I say before scooping him up in my arms, causing him to squeal and giggle.
Zeref and Mavis smile as we continue to head to Ponyville. Once we get there were greeted with the sight of Rainbow in the clouds talking to somepony.
“Hey Dash!” I yell while waving my free arm, as the other arm is being used to hold Serena.
Dash then looks over to the four of us and flies over to us. She then lands and says: “Hey guys! How’ve you been?” She asked.
“Other than Mavis eating too many cookies and breaking our door down, pretty well.” I respond. “Oh, and I’d like you to meet someone Dash.” I say.
“Oh? Who?” She asked.
“This little ball of innocence.” I say gesturing to Serena.
“Hmm? Oh, who’s this kid?” She asked.
“This is Serena. His original name was God Serena, but that was in Fiore. And yes, before you ask, he is from Fiore. His Magic is eight different types of Dragon Slayer Magic. Though he wasn’t taught by eight different dragons.” I explain. “I’ll tell you about it later when everypony is present. But who were you talking to?” I ask.
“Zeref, Mavis, Quill, Serena. I’d like you all to meet Gilda!” Dash announces before a Griffon lands in front of us, and my question that I had last night was answered.
So, we’re on the Griffon brush off episode, eh? I think as Dash continues: “Gilda is my best friend from junior speedster’s flight academy.”
“Sup.” She says flatly.
“Hello!” Mavis says cheerfully.
“Greetings” Zeref says with a half-dead smile.
“Hi.” I say while giving her a small smile.
“…” Serena is quiet.
“Serena… Go on say hi.” I tell him.
“H-Hi.” He stutters nervously.
“Sorry, he’s just a little shy.” I tell Gilda.
Gilda just flips her hair feathers before saying: “Nah, it’s okay. I get it, meeting new people can be really nerve racking.”
“Hey, Quill.” Zeref tells me. “Me, and Mavis are going to go to Twilight’s. We’ll need to tell her about Serena.” He says.
“Got it. See ya’ Zeref, see ya’ sis.” I wave to the two. After they’ve walked to Twilight’s I turn back to Dash and Gilda. “Well, sorry to stop the meet and greet but I’ve got to get this little one enrolled in school.” I tell Dash, and Gilda. “See you later!”
“See ya later Quill!” Dash replies.
“Bye!” Glinda says.
I walk away from Dash, and Gilda with Serena in my arms and I make my way to the schoolhouse. After finding our way there I walk up and knock on the door.
Knock, Knock
“I’ll be right there!” I hear Cheerilie’s voice tell me through the wooden door. After a second or two the door is opened by the teacher pony. “Oh! Why hello there Acnologia. It’s good to see you.” She greets. “How may I help you?” The teacher asked.
“It’s great to see you as well Cheerilie. As for my reason of being here, well… I’m holding him in my arms.” I tell her.
She looks over to my arms and sees Serena still being very shy.
“Oh, why hello there. It’s nice to meet you.” She said while giving him a calming smile. “What is your name?” She asked.
Serena was slow to answer but after a couple seconds he answered: “I’m Serena.” He told her quietly.
“Well Serena, you have a very nice name.” She told him making his shyness dull away. She then looked back to me. “I wasn’t aware you had a son.” She pointed out.
“Up until this morning, I didn’t. But because of the Goddess of Death in Fiore, he became my son.” I told her. “I’m also here to enroll him in your class.”
“Well then come inside and we can get him all set up.” Cheerilie, well, cheered.
I then walked inside the schoolhouse and saw the same schoolhouse as the show. I smiled and set Serena down at a desk. I followed Cheerilie over to her desk, while feeling the cool smooth texture of the wood on my feet, and she gave me a folder of paperwork. I had to fill out what Serena’s name is, where he lives, how old he was, and other things like that. After discussing a few things with Cheerilie, we got to the end result that Serena would be placed next to Scootaloo in the front. He would also be starting later in the day, which was around an hour in a half. I asked Cheerilie if I could come into class to introduce myself to everypony and I also asked if I could get a job as a teacher. She said that I’d have to fill out some papers but both of those would be fine.
“So, when I become a teacher, what would I teach?” I asked my new co-worker, Cheerilie.
“I haven’t thought about that yet, but I have a pretty good idea.” She said. “Since you come from a different place you could teach about the magic from that place.” She suggested. “Oh, and could you also teach Physical Education? I’ve been meaning to hire someone for that, but I’ve never had the time because of me being the only teacher for so long.” She explained.
“Don’t worry about it. Yes, I will teach P.E.” I assured her. “I’ve got to go meet up with Zeref and Mavis in a little. So, I’ll see you later Cheerilie.” I told her.
“Who’s Mavis and Zeref?” She asked before I walked out.
“Oh, right you don’t know.” I realized while mentally face palming. “Mavis and Zeref are others from Fiore, as is Serena but I’ll tell you later during introductions.” I tell her.
“Oh, got it. Well, see you later Acnologia.” She waved with her hoof.
"See ya Cheerilie." I waved back.
Me and Serena left exited the School House and walked over to the Ponyville market, on our way there we met up with Fluttershy, who was leading a small family of ducklings and their mother somewhere.
"Hm?" I said before noticing Fluttershy. "Oh, why hello there Flutters. Nice day isn't it?" I ask.
"Oh, yes it's a very lovely day. Who's this?" She asked motioning to Serena.
I explained to her what had happened this morning and she took it relatively well. I say that but in reality she just nodded her head and said she understood.
"You don't really understand do you?" I asked.
"Not really." She admitted.
I chuckled and told her about my new job. When I looked over to Serena, I saw something that I really should've expected: Serena was sitting criss-cross, with the mother duck sitting in his lap, while the other ducklings were sitting on his legs.
I just stared at my son for a few seconds before letting out a sigh before telling Fluttershy: "Welp, we've got some time to kill before school starts so I guess we'll be helping you and the ducks." I said with a chuckle as Flutters giggled a little.
Serena then picked some of the ducklings up in his arms, where some of the others landed on his head and sat there comfortably. It was a cute sight. The mother duck flew over and landed onto Fluttershy's back and together the three of us walked into Ponyville's market. As Serena walked in between me and Fluttershy, the two of us conversed about me changing my appearance.
"Hey, do you think I should cut my hair?" I asked my friend.
"Maybe. I mean if you want to." Flutters answered sheepishly. "I don't see why you'd want to though."
"Well, it's mainly because I don't want others thinking that I'm a girl if they see me from behind." I explained. "And I am going to be a teacher, so I don't want to be a bad influence on the youth." I told her.
"I see. Well you could probably go to Rarity for help. I know she'd be happy to." The pegasus suggested.
"Well, thanks for the advise." I thanked.
I was about to say something else when Serena bumped into someone causing him to fall onto his rear.
"Oof!" Serena grunted.
Several of the ducklings jumped away in surprise but they slowly returned after seeing that their new friend had fallen over. I walked over to help my son up when I heard someone yell at Fluttershy.
"HEY! Watch where you're going!" A familiar griffon yelled at Fluttershy and at Serena. "I'm walkin' here!" Gilda yelled.
"Oh, we're very sorry. Me and my friends are just helping some ducklings and their mother get to-" Fluttershy began before Gilda cut her off.
"'I'm sorry, I'm sorry.'" Gilda mocked. "Why don't you watch where you're going you little shits!" Gilda cussed at Fluttershy.
"B-b-but, I'm s-s-sorry-" Flutters stuttered as tears were already beginning to fall from her sky blue eyes. Gilda then took a deep breath in.
Gilda then roared straight into my friend's face causing Fluttershy to reel back in fear. Tears burst from Fluttershy's eyes. Shy tried to hide behind her pink mane, and tail but I ran straight in front of the shy pony ready to defend her. I looked straight down at Gilda, as she was around two feet shorter than me.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I asked in the same voice I used when challenging Nightmare Moon, and when threatening Blueblood. "Can't you see that my son bumped into you on accident? There was no reason to roar at Fluttershy." I explained trying to defuse the situation in a much calmer voice. I noticed the mother Duck was checking to see if Serena was okay, but I had to refocus on the situation at hand.
"Well maybe if you retards were watching where you were going we wouldn't be having this issue!" Gilda semi-yelled getting straight into my face. "Now why don't you be a good little monkey and leave!" She screamed.
I stood there dumbfounded. This bitch had called me a monkey. She had called my son and my friend a shit, and called all of us retards. To say I was pissed was an understatement of the God damned millennium. I looked straight at her and and grabbed her by the collar, lifting her up to my height: "Now you listen and you listen good. You can insult me all you'd like, but you will NEVER, insult my friends, nor my son. Do I make myself clear?" I threateningly asked. When I didn't get an answer I looked straight at her and my eyes narrowed. "I said, DO I MAKE MYSELF FUCKING CLEAR!?" I roared.
Gilda nodded quickly before I dropped her straight onto her ass. She then lowly growled: "Whatever." Before flying off to wherever. Probably off to find Rainbow.
Damn. Now I remember why I didn't like that bitch. I thought before turning around to Fluttershy, and trying to calm her down. I wasn't helping much as she was shivering with fear. When I finally calmed her down, I was able to help her get the ducklings to the pond on the other side of town. Serena was still carrying the ducklings, and I held the mother Duck. Serena was trying to cheer up Flutters with little success because tears were still dripping down the emotionally fragile pony's cheeks. Once we reached the pond, Shy basically collapsed and started to cry uncontrollably.
I set the mother Duck down and ran over to Fluttershy. I kneeled down next to the crying pony and placed my hand on her back trying to soothe her sorrow: "Hey... It's alright, you're okay. You're safe now. Nothing bad will happen. Not while I'm around." I calmly said to her, as several other animals emerged from the pond and the foliage around the three of us. They too wanted to soothe their caretaker's sorrow.
"Hey, Fluttershy." Serena began softly in his shy voice. "I know you're scared, I am too, but we can't let fear drive our lives. We have to be brave, if not for ourselves, then for the ones we love." Serena told her. "So... let's be brave together!" He cheered softly.
Fluttershy was then calmed a little bit and told us that she would be fine to be left alone. She was with her animal friends and I knew they would cheer her up. Me and Serena then wandered over to Rarity's Boutique. It was almost blinding to look at as there were reflective decorations scattered all over the outside. What I could see was the door, thankfully as my son and I approached the blinding structure the shadow it casted was enough to spare our eyes from the light. I pushed the white and purple door open.
The jingle of the bell overhead rang to alert Rarity that she had a customer: "I'll be with you in just a second darling!" Her voice told us. After a few minutes her equine head peeked from behind a corner. "Oh, Quill! Nice to see you today! Who's this little one?" She asked about Serena. I explained to her about what happened this morning and about my new job. "Ah, I see. So, how can I help you?" She asked as her purple mane whipped around.
"Well, I was wondering if you could give me a hair cut. I really don't want my hair to be this long." I told her as I picked up a bunch of my navy blue hair.
"Hm, I do have some ideas but I think you'll like the idea I have for you." She told me. "Right this way, follow me." She said.
I followed her to a chair, and I had a bit of trouble fitting in the chair. The compromise was for me to sit on a stool. It was weird but it worked. After a little I could hear Rarity working away as she was mumbling incoherent words under her breath. I looked in the mirror to see Serena picking up a magazine trying to occupy his obvious boredom.
After a little while Rarity the backed away and declared: "There! It's perfect!"
I looked in the mirror and saw the myself looking at what Acnologia looked like before his transformation into a dragon. I still had the markings but other than that it was spot on: "I love it. Thank you Rarity." I told her. "How much do I owe you?" I asked taking out my wallet.
"Oh, darling this one is on the house!" She generously told me.
"Really? Thanks Rarity. Oh, by the way, do you have somepony in your family that goes to Cheerilie's school house?" I asked.
"Why yes, my little sister Sweetie Belle goes there. Why do you ask?" Rarity inquired.
"Well, as I've told you before, I am the new Fioren magical teacher there, as well as the new P.E coach." I told her.
"Really? I didn't know you had a teaching degree." Rarity pointed out.
I walked over to the couch and sat next to Serena who was still looking at a magazine: "Well, I actually have a PHD in magical theory, and a Doctorate in Medicine." I admitted. "But that was before I became a dragon." I explained tapping into my knowledge of Acnologia's lore before becoming a dragon in the anime. "I don't know if I still retain the knowledge of the Medicine but Magical theory I know pretty well." I proudly stated.
I then looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost time for school to start. I said farewell to Rarity and I picked up Serena, as we both left the fashionista's home. The two of us walked over to the School house which had many young colts and fillies walking to the entrance. I smiled as I saw some familiar faces, such as Twist and Applebloom.
I set Serena down onto the ground and he looks up at me with a quizzical look: "Hey, Serena. I'm going to go back to the house but I will return in a little. Just head on inside and I'll meet you in a little while." I tell him as he nods and runs over to the entrance of the School house.
I then use my speed and quickly run over to my home. I'll never get used to running that fast. I think to myself as I open the door and speedily change into some new clothes. I looked in my closet and found a set of clothes I knew would be perfect for this occasion. I also found a pair of loafers laying in front of the clothes. I smiled as I took my cloak and pants off as well as my necklace. I then dressed myself in the new clothes, and put my necklace back onto my neck. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that I looked exactly like Acnologia did before his transformation.
After that speedy change of clothing I ran back over to the School house just in time for the bell to ring. I opened the door to see around twenty eight colts and fillies, including Serena, looking at me. I smiled and apologized for being late.
"It's fine, in fact, you're right on time." Cheerilie said. "Okay everyone I'd like to introduce two new additions to the class." Cheerilie announced. I motioned for Serena to get over to me, and he did but as he reached me, he slightly hid behind my lab coat. "Please welcome our newest teacher here, Acnologia, and his son Serena!" She announced cheerfully. Pun very much intended BTW.
The class kinda just sat there for a little while before I decided to speak up: "If anypony has a question I'd be happy to answer them." I said brightly as several hooves shot up in the air. I saw that a colt with brown fur and decided to pick him. "How about you?" I said pointing to him.
"What are you?" He asked.
"Well, to be honest, I used to be something called a human, but currently I am a Dragon." I answered before calling on a filly with a tiara on her head. Oh lord this was Diamond Tiara. "Yes?" I said pointing to her.
"Where's your Cutie Mark?" She asked snidely.
"I don't have one." I told her.
A loud gasp erupted from the class as Dimond yelled: "You don't have a Cutie Mark?! But how do you know what your special talent is?!" She asked.
"Well for one, no human has a Cutie Mark. Serena doesn't either. Second, I don't need a Cutie Mark to decide what I'm going to do or what my special talent is." I explained in a calm tone. "The only thing that is unique to me is my magic. And plus I already told you that I'm now a dragon. And I don't think that dragons here get Cutie Marks either." I finished.
"Alright class that's enough questions for now. Serena please go sit down." Cheerilie told the class as Serena obliged and sat back down next to the orange pegasus filly, Scootaloo. "It's time for the lesson to begin!" She said.
I waked over to the side of the class and watched as Cheerilie taught them about history and math. I saw how invested Serena was in wanting to learn. I smiled at my adoptive son and my thoughts drifted over to Sonya. I let out a small sigh as I pulled my mind away from that because before I knew it, the Recess bell had rung.
"That's all the time we have for now class, go out and have some fun!" She dismissed them. I walked over and sat in a chair next to her desk. "Well, the next lesson will be all yours Acnologia. Are you ready?" She asked me while she got out her lunch.
"To be honest, not really. But the world never gives you the time to get ready. You always have to be prepared." I answered cryptically. Cheerilie just deadpanned at me and after a few moments she giggled. "But in all actuality, it's the class that has to be prepared because their next subject will be Fioren Magical Theory." I explained.
"I see. I'm guessing that you want them to call you something other than Acnologia?" She asked.
"Yeah, probably." I answered.
As the two of us conversed I heard several conversations occur outside due to my heightened hearing and I let my mind wander.
Third POV
Outside of the School house, on a bench facing towards the playground as all the other fillies and colts played, sat Serena. He sat there because he had nopony to play with. He was the new kid. But he was the only human in the school besides his once human father. Serena sat on the bench alone until two little fillies approached him. The first filly was an Earth Pony had pink fur and her mane and tail were a pale, and light grayish violet with white streaks and she also wore a tiara on her head. Her Cutie Mark looked exactly like her tiara. This was Diamond Tiara. The second filly was an Earth Pony as well, her fur was a gray, and her mane and tail were a light gray. She wore light aqua glasses and her Cutie Mark was a silver spoon. This was Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara's best friend and probably only friend.
The two fillies walked over to Serena where Diamond wore a smug look. Once they reached the dragon slayer she said: "You're Serena right?" To which Serena replied with a nod. "Okay, so I want to know... What's it like being a Blank Flank?" She asked intending for it to be an insult.
"... A what?" Serena asked not recognizing the comment as an insult.
"Well you don't have a Cutie Mark which means no special talent, which means you're not special!" Diamond Tiara semi-yelled.
"That's not really true." Serena stated. "All of us in our own way have qualities that we all share, but we all also have our own unique traits and abilities that make us who we are." He explained using his logic. Serena even though he is very shy, is a very logical kid and he acts older than what he really is sometimes. "For example say you had a brother and he was better at painting and drawing than you were, but you're better at sports than he is. That is an example at something you are good at, and that quality as well as many others make up who you are." Serena told Silver and Diamond. The two would-be bullies just stood there shocked. "The quality that would make me special and unique would be my magic. It's much different than yours as mine isn't Equestrian magic-" Serena was about to finish his sentence when Quill walked outside and announced that it was time for school to start again.
Serena just hopped off the bench and walked up to his adoptive father. Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon were just dumbfounded and shocked that Serena had just roasted the shit out of them. It took around ten seconds for them to snap out of it, and once they did snap out of it they turned around to see their teacher Quill, looking at them with a smug look on his face. The two fillies walked inside and took a seat with Silver's face deep in thought, as Diamond looked at Serena with an evil glare.
You've made an enemy today Serena. You've made your worst enemy. Diamond thought as her head turned to the sound of chalk writing on the chalkboard.
"Hello class, my name is Acnologia. But from now on you will address me as Sensei. If you're wondering why, it's because in Japan it's a sign of respect to your teacher. And if you treat me with respect in kind, I will treat you with respect." Sensei-Quill introduced with a monotone face. "If you have any questions, now would be the best time to ask them, as I will not stop nor will I repeat myself in the middle of the lesson." He told them sternly.
Some students raised their hoof, and Quill called on Applebloom: "Sensei? What are you teaching us?" The Apple asked.
"That is a good question. Now listen up!" Quill called out to the class. "This lesson will be Magical Theory, but for now it will be the most basic units. However, this is not Equestrian Magical Theory for anyone here who thinks they will fly through this course. This my little students, is Fioren Magical Theory." Quill told them with an intimidating smile.
A different student raised their hoof: "Sensei? Why do you say "Anyone", and "Everyone". Shouldn't it be anypony and everypony?" The curious student asked.
"The reason for me not using anypony and such is because say that would only be addressing ponies and since there is more than one species here I will not be using them." Quill explained.
Another student raised their hoof: "Sensei, what's the difference between the two types of magic?" They asked.
"This question will be answered during the lesson." No other student raised the hoof/hand so Quill begun the lesson. "If there are no other questions the lesson will begin." He stated. The Sensei turned around and drew a T-Chart, with "Fiore Magic" and "Equestrian Magic" written on either side. "Now can anyone guess what the differences between the two types of magic are?"
Several students raised their hooves. Quill looked over them and saw a student he recognized as Sweetie Belle: "Yes, Sweetie Belle?" He called on her. She answered: "They have different effects?"
"While that is correct I'm looking for more specific answers. How about this, you tell me what Equestrian magic is like, and I will write down what Fioren magic is like." Quill told them.
Then several students started to blurt out answers: "Our magic is attached to our emotion!" "Equestrian magic gives us our Cutie Marks!" "It helps us grow our crops!" "It moves the sun and moon!" They yelled before their Sensei had enough.
"HEY!!" Quill roared shutting them all up. "Next time you all have an answer, raise your hoof, or in Serena's case, hand, and wait to be called on okay?" He told them calmly. "But yes, all of what you said is correct." Quill began while writing down all of what had been said about Equestrian magic. "Now I will tell you what Fioren magic is like. First of all, Fioren magic does NOT give anyone Cutie Marks, and as I've stated before, no human on the planet has a Cutie Mark." He explained writing the info down. "Second, Fioren magic can help people in their everyday lives, but it does not extend from emotion. It can only grow with practice, and everyone in Fiore has magic available to them." He told them as the students all listened closely. "Third, Fioren magic has three different wielding types, or in simpler terms, there are three different categories of Fioren magic. You will learn about two of these categories but the third you will not and hopefully will never learn about." Quill told them.
This time Serena raised his hand, to which Quill called on him: "Why are we only learning about two of the categories?" He asked.
"This question can be answered by the next piece of the lesson. Magic Categories." Quill wrote on the board. "There are three categories, Holder Magic, Caster Magic, and finally Lost Magic or Ancient Magic. You will only be learning about Holder, and Caster magic. If you're wondering about Lost Magic, then listen because I will only say this reason for you not learning about it, ONCE." Quill said while his eyes gained a serious and definitive look. "Holder Magic is when a wizard uses magical items with the most notable being celestial wizards, more on that another time. Caster Magic is a type of magic where the magic user expels magic from their body say someone fires a spell from their elbows or knees, again more on that another time." Quill explained. He then let out a heavy sigh and leaned on the board with his arms crossed. "Finally, Lost Magic, the most powerful type of magic in Fiore." He told them causing all the students minus Serena who's auburn hair was overshadowing his eyes, to gasp. Quill wasn't smiling. Serena wasn't either.
Scootaloo shot out of her seat and yelled: "Well if it's the most powerful then why aren't we learning about it?!"
Hearing Scootaloo's comment the other students started to talk and protest loudly. Quill had enough, he didn't want to hear their bullshit.
"ENOUGH!" Quill screamed causing the school house to go quiet. "Scootaloo the reason I'm not going to and will never teach you about Lost Magic is because even though it is the most powerful, it's also the most destructive and if used incorrectly..." Quill trailed off and looked out the window and to his son. "It could possibly kill, or curse its user." Quill told them causing their eyes to go wide. "Please understand that this magic should never be taught, and that it is called "Lost Magic" for a reason, okay?" He asked his students, to which they all nodded in response. "Thank you." Quill looked at the time to see that it was almost time for class to end. "It seems that it's almost time to go, so if you have any other questions, ask them." He suggested for nopony to raise their hoof. "I've got to leave so, Serena. C'mon kid." Sensei-Quill told Serena.
Serena, and Quill both got their stuff, and left the School house, leaving Cheerilie and the other students in a state of pure horror. They had no clue how terrifying Fiore's magic could be. They had no idea that Quill had to live through the use of these magic types.
The scene slowly panned over to the chalkboard to see the the words "LOST MAGIC" on the board with a line through it. The scene slowly fades into the view of Serena and Quill walking to Twilight's house.
"Dad..." Serena said, catching Quill's attention. "Did you really have to tell them about Lost Magic?"
"Serena... I didn't have much of a choice... They had to know that it's a very, very dangerous type of magic." Quill told his son as they wandered closer to the Golden Oak Library.
Once they reached the door Quill knocked on it three times.
Knock, Knock, Knock
"Oh, that must be Serena and Quill!" Mavis' voice sprouted from the door. The door opened to reveal Mavis. "It's about time you got here. What took you so long?" She asked the duo.
"I got a job." Quill said nonchalantly while entering the library.
"Okay." Mavis responded. "Wait... What!?!?!"
Quill smiled slightly, and saw the Main six, Spike and Zeref also sitting there. All of them except for Fluttershy and Rarity had surprised looks. I quickly explained about how I enrolled Serena in school, and how I had gotten a job at the school. I also had to explain what had happened for Serena to become my son, and surprisingly
Pinkie Pie was the only one who understood it.
"Hey, could I get something for you to drink?" Spike asked Quill.
"I'll take a coffee." Quill told him as Spike walked into the kitchen.
Quill and Serena sat next to Mavis and Zeref when Zeref asked: "So what are you teaching?"
"I'm teaching P.E and Fioren Magical Theory." Quill said while his smile slowly faded. Spike brought him his coffee and handed it to Quill. "Thanks." Zeref's and Mavis' smiles also faded. Serena's smile hadn't returned from the discussion back at the School House
Seeing the usually happy family not smile was something that worried all of the others.
"Is everything okay?" Twilight asked.
None of the wizards from Fiore answered her but instead Mavis asked: "Did you tell them about the Categories?"
"I told them they'd learn about the first two. But they asked about the third." Quill responded.
"Did you..." Zeref trailed off.
"No he didn't. He only told them the repercussions.
"Good." Zeref sighed.
"Now what in tarnation are you talking about?" Applejack asked.
"Quill?" Mavis asked in one word.
"Might as well tell them." He responded simply.
"Whatever are you talking about darlings?" Rarity asked.
"Yeah, can you stop being all cryptic and tell us?" Dash said.
"Three." Zeref stated.
This confused the ponies and dragon. But then Mavis picked up where Zeref left off: "There are three different categories of Fioren Magic." She let Quill continue.
"The first two are the most common types. Holder Type Magic, and Caster Type Magic." Quill finished allowing Serena to pick up where he left off.
"The third is the most destructive, the most powerful, and the most costly." Serena said.
"It's called LOST MAGIC." The four Fioren wizards said together.
"Lost Magic is a category which holds our variants of magic. The first types of magic. My magic is called Black Arts, more commonly known as Death Magic." Zeref revealed.
"My magic is called Fairy Magic, or more commonly called Life Magic." Mavis stated.
"My magic is one of the first types of magic in existence, aside from Ahnkseram Black Magic. My magic is call Dragon Slayer Magic, and I also have a very devastating and unique type, which is in a category all on its own... Time Magic." Quill restated to the listeners.
"My magic is also called Dragon Slayer Magic however my variation of Dragon Slayer Magic is different from my dad's." Serena said.
"The most powerful and the most iconic types of Lost Magic, are Fairy Law, Fairy Sphere, Fairy Glitter, Death Magic, Life Magic..." Quill once again trailed off. He let out a deep sigh before saying. "And the magic me and Serena use..." Quill stated. "Dragon Slayer Magic." He told them all. "Now you have to keep this in mind. This magic was created during a time when us humans and more than half of the dragon race was at war. The other half was helping us humans learn Dragon Slayer Magic. I am one of the first Dragon Slayers on the planet. And when I gained mastery over my magic I..." He paused. He then took a leap and told his friends the truth. "I was turned into a dragon, but not just any dragon. I was turned into one of the most powerful types of dragons in the world. I was turned into something called, The Black Dragon of The Apocalypse: The Dragon King." He said changing to the other lost magic. "The other reason I won't teach anyone about Lost Magic is because... If you use any other type of it incorrectly you will at best die, or at worse be cursed with something called the Curse of Ahnkseram, which makes it so when you find the true appreciation for life, you will send off a wave of death magic, killing every living thing around you and you'll become immortal. The only way to stop this curse is if you lose appreciation for life, and if you die." He said quietly. "But aside from that there are several different elements of Dragon Slayer Magic and different Generations." He then took a sip from his coffee
Serena followed up and said: "As far as we know, there are five generations of Dragon Slayers." Serena stated. "The First Generation are ones like dad. First Gen. are taught by actual dragons. Most dragons who taught First Gen. were the slayer's foster parents. The only First Gen. I currently know of are Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, and dad." Serena paused to take a breath. "The next Generation are Second Gen. This Generation was not taught by a dragon. Instead they were implanted with a Dragon Lacrima. Lacrima are a variant of crystal from Fiore which contain vast amounts of magical power. The process of getting a Dragon Lacrima implanted into you is very painful trust me, I had eight implanted into me. As such I am a Second Gen. The other Second Gen. are Laxus, and Erik or Cobra." Serena explained.
"Next are the Third Generation. This Gen. had a Dragon Lacrima implanted into them and they were also taught by a dragon. The only two I know of are Sting, and Rouge." Zeref explained the Third Gen.
"Then there are the Fourth Generation." Mavis sighed. "These slayers aren't even alive so. To explain, Fourth Gen. Slayers are created from Pure Dragon Lacrima. Or in other words, Crystal Robots. These things can't be destroyed unless you break their core Lacrima." Mavis detailed the Fourth Gen.
"Finally, the Fifth Generation Dragon Slayers." Quill started. "These Slayers are... Brutal. One becomes a Fifth Gen. by devouring Dragon Flesh." He said causing everyone to reel back in shock. Even Mavis, Zeref, and Serena didn't know the origins of the Fifth Gen. but now they do. "As deadly as it my seem, these Slayers are also known as the Dragon Eaters, and they are..." Quill trailed off.
"Evil?" Zeref suggested.
"Cruel?" Twilight offered.
"Meanies?" Pinkie said.
"All of that right there is just an absolute fuck ton of sugar coating it. Pardon the language, but these shit-bags... They are caticlism's in human bodies. These... Things are... They're just pure evil. And once they've set their sights on you... Just hope that you have a Dragon Slayer with you, because these guys will tear through anything and anyone just to kill you. I've had to deal with some of these bastards, and let me tell you, they can get pretty bloodthirsty. Thankfully no one has ever mastered Fifth Gen. Slayer Magic." He explained allowing everyone to let out a sigh of relief. "But now we get onto the Elements of Dragon Slayers." He announced. "I've already told you about Fiore's five remaining Dragon taught Slayers but I haven't told you about Fiore's two Lacrima dragon slayers. Laxus, and Erik. The Lightning and Poison Dragon Slayers." I told them.
"Yes, I've been wondering what other element types for the Slayers are." Twilight pointed out.
"Aside from the elements I've said Serena, since he's had eight Slayer Lacrimas implanted into him, he has eight elements. I only know of five. Purgatory, Cavern, Deep Sea, Lightning, and Gale." Quill listed.
"Well, the others are Sun Light, Dark Moon, and Acid." Serena finished.
"Well, what about yours Quill?" Spike asked.
"Yes, I'd love to know!" Twilight said giddily.
"Alright. I don't have one." Quill admitted.
"You don't... YOU DON'T HAVE AN ELEMENT???!!!!?!?!1" Twilight screamed.
"Nope. My Slayer type is simply called Dragon Slayer Magic. I've just given it the name Temporal Magic Dragon Slayer Magic, or essentially, Apocalypse Dragon Slayer Magic." Quill explained.
"Wait Temporal? As in Time?" Zeref asked. "I don't remember you having Time Magic." He pointed out.
"I didn't until Natsu killed me after I ate the Bonds of Time in Fiore. This was just after you had died however." Quill responded.
The Main six and Spike looked at the four in utter confusion, because they had no clue what they were talking about. Their confusion was evident until Fluttershy intervened: "You... Ate Time?" The shy pony asked.
"Apparently though I wasn't in control of my dragon form nor was the insanity I was in. Evidently, my human body and draconic body were separated, and while the guild Fairy Tail fought and destroyed my draconic body, the Dragon Slayers, not including Serena, fought my human body, and finally Natsu had killed me." Quill explained while taking another sip of his coffee. "By the way, I forgot to ask but... What happened with Gilda?" He wondered aloud.
"... She left." Rainbow simply stated, turning her head away so that her rainbow mane blocked her eyes.
"So, she left Ponyville?" Quill asked.
"Yup."
"Was there any reason for that?"
Rainbow turned and looked at Quill with a slightly angered glare: "It turned out that she was a terrible friend. So, I ended my friendship with her." She told him.
Quill only focused on drinking the rest of his coffee not affected by the news in the slightest. He set the empty cup of coffee on the table in front of him and looked back at Rainbow: "Did you ask her why she was acting the way she was?" Quill asked with a raised eye brow, or rather the marking that replaced his eye brow.
"I-..." Rainbow stuttered before pausing. "No... I-I didn't." Rainbow said shamefully.
"Well how long ago did she leave?" Quill inquired.
"Around twenty minutes ago." Mavis told the Apocalypse Dragon.
"Well, then maybe you could find her and ask her." Serena suggested. "I mean, you've said that she didn't have friends, aside from you so she probably cherished her friendship with you a lot. Ending that friendship probably crushed her." The five year old pointed out.
This revelation stunned Rainbow for a few seconds before she bolted up and started to fly/hover in the air and declared: "You're right Serena, I do need to make amends. If I leave right now I could probably find her." She surmised.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go." Zeref said before the Mane six ran out of the house followed by Spike.
The only four left in the Library house were Serena, Zeref, Mavis, and Quill. They all looked at the open door smiling with sheer pride.
"You think we did the right thing telling Rainbow to go find Gilda?" Mavis asked.
"Definitely." Zeref stated. "Mavis you saw how she looked when Rainbow ended their friendship at the party. She was holding back a lot of sorrow." He reminded her.
"Well," Serena yawned. "I'm kinda tired so I'd like to go home." He told his family with droopy eyes.
"Alright time to go." Quill said as he started to stand up. But he was stopped by Mavis' hand.
"Let us take him home, okay. You seem like you need a breather from today." She said alluding to the discussion of his magic.
Quill nodded and motioned for Mavis and Zeref to go ahead. The two lovebirds stood up, and Zeref picked up the now sleeping Serena and walked out of the door. All that was left was Acnori Quill, and silence. Quill smiled and his eyes closed. He began thinking of his life before all this. Before becoming Acnologia. Before The Merchant. But then his thought wandered to Luna, and her smiling face. He remembered how she was his favorite character from the MLP franchise ever since he could remember.
You know... For a pony who is over a thousand years old, she is quite cute. A strange but eerily familiar voice spoke in Quill's mind. Quill's eyes opened faster than a bullet and he shot up and looked around for the owner of the voice. But instead of finding himself in the oak wood room of the Golden Oak Library, he found himself standing in a field of grass.
Quill's POV
Everywhere I looked, I saw the same thing. Grass. I looked around and saw myself over looking a forest, just like in the opening for the Fairy Tail anime when I first saw Natsu and Happy. I stood there frozen. Where am I? I thought with bewilderment. I looked ay my hands, but I noticed one key detail was missing. The markings. I looked all over my arms and legs but there were no markings anywhere. I looked around a little more and found a mirror. That's right a random-ass mirror sitting in the middle of the field. I almost fell backwards at what I saw. Looking back at me wasn't the visage of Acnologia, but it was myself.
It was me before The Merchant.
I still had the Navy-blue hair that Acnologia had before becoming a dragon, but the rest of my look was different. I wore a black hoodie with red markings all over it. On the sleeves of the hoodie were Roman numerals for the number four hundred. The same age as Acnologia. Laced around my neck was the same dragon tooth necklace Acnologia had worn in the anime. My skin tone was the same as Acnologia's but that was my natural skin tone. My eyes instead of their dead blue, were a menacing red. I wore grey jeans, and I wore black tennis shoes with red laces.
"W-What the hell is going on?" I stuttered aloud as I continued to look at my reflection.
"Currently we are inside your mind, or rather... It's currently ours." A familiar voice resonated in my head as the origins of said voice came from behind me.
I slowly turned around and my pupils shrunk to pins. Standing in front of me was the real Acnologia, and plastered on his face was a small smile.
"Well, Acnori Quill... It is nice to finally meet you." Acnologia said as he began to slowly walk towards me. "Now we finally have the chance to speak, face to face." He said as he drew nearer.
I couldn't say or do anything as I was paralyzed with terror. With every step he took my fear only grew. I was scared. What was he going to do? What did he want to talk to me about?... Was I going to die?
Acnologia had gotten close enough for me to feel his aura and it... was... comforting? As the former King of The Dragons drew closer I saw that his eyes no longer held rage or bloodlust, but instead they held gratefulness and kindness. He finally reached me and slowly he stood in front of me standing at nine feet tall, towering over my five foot six inches in height. He then placed his hand on my shoulder and said: "Thank you."
"Huh?..................EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?" I yelled in confusion.
"I see that you're confused. Follow me, I'll explain." He told me as I snapped out of my shock and confusion.
The two of us walked through the field and I had a question to ask: "Why would you thank me? What did I do?" I asked Acnologia.
"Well, to explain simply, you returned just as you promised. You saved me." He told me much to my confusion. "To go into greater detail we have to go back a long time but I don't have the time to do that right now, so long story short, you are my reincarnation, or rather, the reincarnation of our humanity." He tried to explain.
"Wait, so you're saying that I was reincarnated into the modern day Japan after, correct me if I'm wrong, after we watched our daughter Sonya die and we went insane and lost our humanity when we became a dragon?" I asked for clarification.
"Yep, that's pretty much it." He said with a poker face.
"This, is a lot to take in but it mostly just sounds like a bunch of bullshit." I told him.
"If you don't believe me then how about you being born with blue hair when your parents on Earth had black hair, cause that ain't genetics. And what about the time when you were eighteen and you punched a punching bag in half?" He listed.
"What does my hair have to do with this? And that punching bag was falling apart." I protested.
"That punching bag had forty pounds of sand in it! What about the time when you got so pissed you punched a hole in concrete?! If anyone other than you had even attempted that, their hand would have been broken! You didn't even bleed, when you got stabbed in the leg! You told the paramedics you didn't feel a thing!" He yelled while I tried to find a good argument but I was coming up short of anything to say. "If you still don't believe me then let me tell you about you being a displaced."
"What does that have to do with anything?" I asked.
"You've read how most displaced aren't able to remember their name after buying things from The Merchant, right?" He asked.
"Yeah but what does that have to do with-" I started before he cut me off.
"What is your name?" He asked.
"Acnori Quill." I stated. "But I don't see what that has to do with-" I started before stopping as the realization hit me. "I remember my name because it's our real name isn't it?" I asked while looking at the ground.
The only thing my past self did was give me a nod.
"So... I am a reincarnation... At least I now know why I felt pain every time you got hit in the anime." I said in a plain voice.
"Hey," Acnologia started as he rested his hand on my head. "Don't sell yourself short kid. You have more magical abilities than I did so be glad for that. And you still have both arms so quit your bitching!" He said jokingly while ruffling my hair.
"Hey!" I laughed. "Would this technically make you my older brother?" I asked.
"Don't know, maybe. If so, I'm going to enjoy teasing the shit out of you into asking out Luna though!" He teased in a suggestive voice.
I felt my face light up with a blush and I started to wave my arms around: "Hey! I-It's not like that!" I tried to defend. "I mean, yeah I do like her a lot, but I don't know if it would work out though. I don't even know if she likes me the same way as I like her, and plus I'm too socially awkward to ask her anyway, and you should know this! You've looked at my memories, I have social anxiety! The only reason I don't cry in a corner at my teaching job is because of the courage becoming you gave me." I argued.
"No, the courage you gained has always been there inside of you, but coming here has just boosted that due to this place's "Friendship is Magic" adaptation, and being here boosts your emotions a whole fuck ton." Acnologia explained. "But the only thing stopping you from telling Luna your feelings is your very low Romantic Self-esteem." He told me flicking my forehead. "Stop being a downer on yourself and have faith. Because I have faith in you." Acnologia told me with a smile.
"Fine but, what about the outside world, what are we doing right now?" I asked.
"Oh, I took the liberty to freeze the world using our Time Magic. By the way, you may be able to use our physical abilities, but our magical abilities are the ones you need to learn. Every night when you sleep you will be transported here, so we can train your magic. And don't worry about Luna, if she wants she can join us." He explained.
"Well, could we hurry up? I kinda want to move again." I told him.
"Fine, well, see you tonight." He waved as the scenery warped into the Golden Oak Library.
I looked around and found a clock sitting on a wall. I stared intensely at it, when after a few seconds, the minute hand moved. I smiled and saw that time was moving normally. I stood up and walked outside. I took a deep breath in, and exhaled. Welp, I guess it's time for me to head home. I'm hungry, and I need some dinner. I thought to myself as I began to walk towards my house.
"Damn you! Let us go!" A faint voice traveled to my ears.
My ears twitched as I stopped dead in my tracks. Was that... Gilda? I thought to myself as I looked in the direction of the voice.
"Shut up Griffon! Or else we'll kill your little girl!" A draconic voice sounded faintly.
Thank you heightened hearing. I thought as I walked towards the origins of the voice.
"Let's hurry this up! If we go now we can be home free by sunrise." A rougher voice which reminded me of a voice from watching Sonya die in the anime said.
"Let us go! Celestia Damnit!!" Rainbow's voice screamed.
CRACK
"GAH!!" Rainbow's voice cried in pain.
"Rainbow!" Gilda's voice shouted worry laced within it.
What the fuck? I thought as I began to run towards the commotion faster.
I ran as fast as I could when Acnologia's voice spoke. What the hell? Why do I smell blood?! We both screamed as we ran faster towards the scent. When I reached the origin of the smell my eyes widened as I saw Rainbow Dash lying on the ground with a small pool of blood originating from her right wing which she was holding onto it like her life depended on it, Gilda was crying her eyes out as she had several claw scratches on her sides and neck, while an infant Griffoness was being held with a blade to her throat.
I hid behind a tree and dove down into some bushes, I looked at Gilda's, and Dash's captors and my eyes widened when I looked at them. The one with blood dripping down his claws looked exactly like the equestrian version of fucking Zirconis, The Jade Dragon, and the one holding the blade to the infant... suddenly a memory started to flash in my vision.
I stood up looking at a dragon with lava emitting from his wings, and his tail. It also looked like lava was flowing through his veins. I frowned at him as the realization hit me. This was the dragon that fucking trained me. This was the fucker that gave me those scarred markings. This... Was Tyrrios. I stared at him angrily as he swiped his tail at me. As it was about to hit I felt my hands radiate with magical energy and since this was a memory, my hands clapped together and I heard my voice scream.
"MAYAN SHOCKWAVE!!!!!!!!" Memory me screamed.
Then a huge and I mean HUGE wave of what seemed to be my magic which was also Navy-blue emerged from my hands and it looked like Godzilla Earth's shockwave. That is to say when it hit Tyrrios I was shaken out of the memory.
I continued to watch the scene unfold as Tyrrios, with a sadistic and phycotic smile, kept slowly pushing the blade against the infant's throat, when it started to draw blood. Gilda watched and started to thrash around in sorrowful anger.
"NO! Please don't hurt her! I beg you please!" Gilda cried.
I clenched my fists and felt them warm up. I looked down at them and noticed my markings were glowing a soft Navy-blue. I then looked up and saw that it was almost midnight. I smiled and knew what to do.
Test run? Acnologia asked. Test run. I thought back in response, as the markings all over my body glowed bright, and somehow my cloak and pants teleported onto me and replaced the clothes I was currently wearing, and my shoes just disappeared. I looked back up and my eyes glowed an eerie menacing red. It was time for me to have some FUN.
Third POV
"Please! I beg you, don't hurt them!" Gilda pleaded while struggling against the ropes that immobilized her.
Zirconis only looked at her with a regretful frown: "I'm sorry I have to do this, but... It's either you, or me. And if me surviving comes at the cost of this pegasus... I'll have to take it." He told her while placing his non-bloodied claw gently on her shoulder. "I promise... If I could change what I'm doing, then I would." He told her.
"Please... Save my little girl." Gilda uttered between her sobs.
"ZIRCONIS!!" Tyrrios yelled his voice scratching out of his throat. "Do what we came here to do, and kill that pony." The tyrant scratched.
As Tyrrios pressed the blade against the young Griffon's throat, a small glow caught his attention. He looked over towards the origin of the glow and he sneered as the glow pulsated continuously, when the glow suddenly roared and Tyrrios snarled in recognition of the glow, then two red flashed which formed the shape of eyes flared to life, and out jumped Quill.
Quill roared and tackled Tyrrios knocking away the sword the dragon was holding, and causing Tyrrios to drop the Griffoness. The sword skidded over and landed near Zirconis who looked at it and then back to Quill, and Tyrrios' fight.
"Fuck it." Zirconis grumbled before picking up the sword and running over to Gilda.
Zirconis ran up to Gilda and turned her around he placed the blade under the ropes and cut them, letting Gilda go. Gilda looked back at the Jade Dragon with confusion as she rubbed her wrists.
"W-Why are you helping me?" Gilda asked.
"Because... I've done enough bad in my previous life, so I'm gonna make up for what I did here." Zirconis told her. "Now go and get your daughter. I don't know how long this guy can hold off Tyrrios. I'll go and tend to your friend." Zirconis explained while helping Gilda get to her daughter.
Gilda ran over picked up the young Griffoness, and cradled the infants head. The infant Griffon had the same color of claws that Gilda did but the feathers from her neck up were white with a red hue, and her lion body and tail fur were a rusted brown, her eyes were the same cat like yellow, and her wings were a white with red splotches: "Oh please Mali, please be okay." Gilda pleaded for Mali to heal.
Over to Zirconis, he was healing Rainbow's wing which wasn't broken, and only several gashes on it. The only thing broken was the tree behing her which had a huge crack in it. Zirconis kneeled down next to her and hovered his claws over the gashes and they started to glow a faint green. Zirconis was using healing magic.
Over at the fight, Tyrrios was being crushed under Quill who was thrashing around trying to pin his former master to the ground. Tyrrios then saw an opening and threw Quill off of him by kicking him in the chest. Quill let out a grunt of pain as he stumbled back with a smile. Slowly Tyrrios rose and looked at his former student with rage, which Quill returned with a glare of pure hatred.
"So... I see you've returned my pupil." Tyrrios remarked.
"Fuck off, you bastard. Why the hell were you after Rainbow Dash?" Quill asked.
"If you want that answer you'll have to beat it out of me." Tyrrios snarked.
Quill clenched his teeth and tightened his fists. Memories of what Tyrrios had done to him, of what he had taken from him. Memories of how he took his family. If you say so... WE'LL BE HAPPY TO OBLIGE!!!! Quill, and Acnologia's voice roared in their mind, as Quill's Apocalypse Magic roared to life, and engulfed both his fists as his eyes glowed red, and his markings burned bright.
Quill let out a growl before something odd happened... His hair grew exponentially and his long messy and bushy hair returned to its original look. Quill and Acnologia bellowed out a brutal roar that could be heard for miles.
https://youtu.be/vcnUvkfX0_8?t=239
(Go to 3:59 on the song please. It'll be better in my opinion, but you don't have to.)
Tyrrios cackled maniacally before his claws radiated a seemingly impossible amount of Lava Magic, and his corrupted golden eyes glowed with the same brilliance as Quill and Acnologia's. The two faced each other before they both leaped at one another. Quill raised his right arm and jumped up above Tyrrios, and swung his right fist down. In response, Tyrrios looked up with a psychotic smile ever present on his draconic face. He leaped off the ground and swung his left fist up to meet and counter Quill's attack. When their attacks collided the resulting shockwave sent the camera flying back and the screen shot out into darkness.
As the music continued, Tyrrios' Lava Magic wheeled up into a circle on the right side of the screen, and on the opposite end, Time Magic imbued with Quill's Apocalypse Magic wheeled up into a circle as well. Then the two circles of magic collided causing these words to appear:
TO BE CONTINUED...

Author's Notes:
Here we go everyone. My longest chapter so far. Sorry for not getting it out earlier, but my mind was just going haywire. To clear things up, I have made Acnori Quill the Time Dragon Slayer. Acnologia is the Magic Dragon Slayer. Together they are the Apocalypse Dragon Slayer. And just for clarification, this is how you pronounce Tyrrios' name: Tear-Ree-Os. Now I don't want to give anything else away so in the meantime, I bid you all Adue~

Chapter 5- Lava VS Time: Tyrrios VS Acnori Quill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXqp9WiFWzc
Third POV
The shockwave expelled from the two dragon’s collision forced a colossal amount of pressure and wind to suddenly blow away a vast majority of the surrounding trees of the Everfree. However, neither Quill nor Tyrrios were exempt from pain.
The force of the blow sent Quill backflipping to his original position and Tyrrios was sent skidding back into a tree, as the Lava Tyrant grunted with pain. The tree he used to halt himself had shattered on impact, stopping Tyrrios but also ending splinters into his back, as a chunk of bark and wood was lodged into his back. Quill wasn’t fairing off any better as his right arm, had gashes and cuts raising all the way up to his elbow, and it was leaking crimson blood onto the darkened forest floor.
But I guess it would be more accurate to say that the blood fell onto the dirt of a large clearing, because the force of their clash had uprooted the surrounding forest in an eight-mile radius. Thankfully Gilda, Rainbow Dash, and Mali were unscathed because Zirconis had shielded them, gaining several scrapes and bruises. Once the shockwave settled the Jade Dragon continued to heal the still unconscious Pegasus.
Quill held his right arm in pain as he looked over to see the onlookers of the battle: “What are you doing?! Zirconis! Get them OUT OF HERE!!” Quill roared as he grits his teeth trying to ignore the pain.
“But I can’t just leave you here to fi-!” Zirconis tried to argue before Quill cut him off.
“JUST GO!!!!” Quill screamed. “And when you get to Ponyville, find Zeref and Mavis, and tell them what’s happening!! NOW RUN!!!” Quill cried out.
Zirconis only looked at the pained Dragon Slayer with a sorrowful look before picking Rainbow up and telling Gilda to follow. The Dragon and Griffoness then ran as fast as they could to go find the other two Fioren Wizards.
Quill focused his attention back to Tyrrios but taking advantage of Quill’s distraction Tyrrios had launched himself at the Wizard grabbing Quill by the throat.
“Focus on the FIGHT!!” Tyrrios cackled manically.
Tyrrios choke-slammed Quill directly into the ground, with enough force to cause an eruption of the ground below them, as Quill’s cloak gains rips and tears as debris tear through the already tattered cloak. Hundreds of chunks of rock and stone flew up as the ground cracked and splintered. Quill roared with pain, as he gripped Tyrrios’ wrist and smiled. Quill kicked his foot up with blinding speed and sent it straight into the one place where the sun will never shine.
Quill kicked Tyrrios… IN… THE DICK!!
Tyrrios gained a pained look and released Quill from his grip. Quill used this chance and with both feet, kicked his former mentor in the chest sending the Lava Dragon several meters back as the Lava Dragon cradled his genitals he rolled and tumbled across the ground crashing through several boulders. Tyrrios skidded to a halt and after working through the pain no one should feel he glared at Quill with hate flowing through his veins.
Quill only smirked and tore off his now destroyed cloak exposing his muscular frame, and his tanned skin, as many navy-blue markings were show on his torso. Quill then lunged at Tyrrios. Once Quill had gotten close enough, he struck Tyrrios in the shoulder with a kick.
“TIME QUAKE!” Quill shouted activating one of his magical attacks.
The markings on Quill’s leg glowed bright and they sent a magical burst of energy straight into Tyrrios’ shoulder, obliterating the Dragon’s shoulder blade, rendering Tyrrios’ right arm, useless.
“LAVA DRAGON IRON FIST!” Tyrrios roared as his left claw burst into magma-like energy, and he sent the magic imbued attack straight to Quill’s stomach.
Quill let out a grunt and was sent a few feet back, his feet dragging in the dirt and rocks. Tyrrios ran at the stunned Quill as the latter quickly regained composure and saw that Tyrrios was trying to send a punch to his face. Quickly Quill moved to the side to avoid the attempted attack, causing Tyrrios to falter and lose his balance. Taking advantage of this Quill sent another magical attack hitting the Tyrant Dragon.
“TIME TWISTER!” Quill shouted as he held his palms out directed at Tyrrios.
Quill’s palms glowed with his Time Magic and a force of magical wind struck Tyrrios’ side sending him flying into a boulder. When Tyrrios impacted the boulder, he let out a screech of pain as the chunk of wood still lodged into his back was sent deeper into his back, tearing at his draconic muscles, and shattering some of his scales, as the shards were sent splintering into his already shattered shoulder blade causing his to fly into a rampage. In a furious rage, Tyrrios lunged at Quill catching the him by surprise. Tyrrios sent a rage induced attack straight into Quill’s chest, and an audible crunch was heard. Quill coughed up crimson blood and was sent careening back into the ground several meters away from the enraged Tyrrios.
That blow broke several ribs. Acnologia told Quill who responded. “Brilliant fucking deduction. I know this because I can fucking feel it, and it hurts.” Quill strained.
Over to the rage blinded Tyrrios, he spread his feet shoulders width apart and got ready to send off a powerful magical attack: “LAVA DRAGON!!!!!!” He began. “ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Tyrrios roared as he sent his Dragon Roar gunning straight at Quill, who widened his eyes.
While stumbling with every movement Quill stood up. His body aching terribly as he could taste iron in his mouth. He raised his hand to his mouth and wiped away the blood. Okay… I can do this. Quill internally told himself. Just remember what you did before. Quill thought while closing his eyes. Quill then spread his feet shoulders width apart and held his hands to his sides facing towards the oncoming magical Roar. Taking a deep breath in and exhaling out, Quill felt the world around him become slow, as time stopped.
Quill lifts his hands and sets them in front of his chest, as streams of magical energy swirled around in the middle of his hands, all originating from different sources. People, Ponies, Griffons, Minitours, Dragons. Every single life form on Equis had their magic present as the streams of magic formed a sphere of pure magic energy. Quill focused intensely and felt the most prominent magical sources on the planet.
Following the red stream of magical energy, the scene arrives to find Rainbow Dash laying in a bed at Quill, Zeref, Mavis, and Serena’s house. Her wing bandaged, as she had a peaceful look on her sleeping face. Panning over to the bed next to her, laid an unconscious Mali as she too, had a peaceful look with a grey stream of magical energy flowed from her, and followed Rainbow’s red stream.
Over to the others, Zirconis and Gilda are talking to Zeref, Mavis, and Serena as their frozen figures had powerful magical streams flowing from them, with Serena’s eyes widening as he knew what was going to happen. Zirconis had a Jade-Green stream of magic, and Gilda had a white stream flowing from her chest. Zeref had a Pitch-Black stream, and Mavis had a Moss-Green stream. While Serena had a multicolored stream flowing from him representing his magical types.
The view then follows an Orange stream to find Applejack looking over at the emanating light from Tyrrios’ attack.
As the scene follows the butterscotch colored stream, it leads to Fluttershy who is speaking to several different animals trying to find Gilda, as she looked up to notice Tyrrios’ attack glowing brightly. Time then stops for her as well.
Following a flame-Green, Diamond-Blue, Pink, and Lavender streams, the camera finds Spike pointing to the Lava glow which Tyrrios’ attack is creating, as Twilight looks at it in worry, as Rarity, and Pinkie Pie look over at the secondary glow which begins to resonate even greater than Tyrrios’ attack, when Time stops for them.
Over in Canterlot, the Midnight-Blue and Sunshine-Golden streams lead to Celestia and Luna, who are viewing at the glows resonating from Tyrrios’ attack as Celestia looks on in worry, Luna however, looks on in hope as a Navy-Blue wave of temporal magic begins to wash over into Canterlot.
“Win, Quill.” Luna says to the winds as she charges her magical stream with even more magic.
The temporal wave then washes over her and Celestia as they become frozen in time.
The Midnight-Blue stream darts with blinding speed over to the sphere Quill holds as he smiles. He knows everyone is with him. The streams then wrap around the sphere and magic stops flowing through. The sphere continues to spin and swirl at impossible speeds as it gains a rainbow color which quickly flashes into millions of different colors.
“Time Dragon Slayer Secret Art.” Quill stated as he looked directly at Tyrrios’ attack, his eyes burning brightly with red energy. He then slammed his hands together causing everything to stop.
MAYAN CALENDAR DEVASTATOR
Time then resumed and every living thing whether monster or not looked over to the direction of Quill and Tyrrios as an enormous wave of magical energy began to swirl around as two spheres of pure magical energy began to merge. And when they finally did, something which Equis had never experienced, happened.
https://gfycat.com/perkygloriousflatfish
Tyrrios’ attack was immediately cancelled out, as trees went flying everywhere, and the ground beneath the two was obliterated. The shockwave had reached all the way to Canterlot as windows in Ponyville and in Canterlot were blown out and the shards of the windows were obliterated.
In Canterlot Luna and Celestia watched as the wave of magical energy flew past them and the shockwave arrived not more than two seconds left. The sister braced against the force of the magical wave but found that there was no force, and across all of Equis, the wind blew harmlessly past them.
Celestia looked to her younger sister with worry and fear: “Sister, what was that?” The diarchy of the sun asked Luna.
“It was Quill.” Luna answered simply. “That is the true power of The Time Dragon Slayer my dear sister.” Luna told her sister while smiling sweetly at the power Quill was displaying. But her smile faltered once she sensed Quill’s magical amount depleting at a frightening rate.
As the magic died down, all that was left was a crater which was half the size of the crater Godzilla stood in when the city of Sendai was hit by a meteor. The ground was irradiating with left over temporal magic and cracks had slithered all around the vicinity. And in the middle was Acnori Quill, and the shadow of his former master, Tyrrios.
Quill stood in front of the shadow and his markings dimmed and finally ceased to glow. Quill looked at the surrounding area and thought: So… This is what we can do? He asked Acnologia, who replied: No… this is what YOU can do. Quill was silent for a moment before smiling weakly.
“Guess… That was… A… Successful test run.” Quill said to no one in particular in between breaths before he tipped backwards. “I’m… gonna take a nap.” Quill muttered.
Quill’s eyes rolled back and closed as he fell backwards passed out, and just as he was about to fall to the ground, a pair of Midnight-Blue hooves. The owner of those hooves was none other than Princess Luna. Luna held the KO’d Quill in her grip and lifted him up using her wings, while floating his tattered cloak with her magic, she set his cloak and laid it on him like a blanket.
“This is the power you hold Quill.” She said to the unconscious body of Quill. Then she used her magic and teleported into Twilights home, startling the Lavender Unicorn.
“OH!! Princess Luna! What are you doing here?” Twilight asked.
Just as Luna went to answer her the door to the library flew open and Zeref, along with Mavis, Serena and Zirconis ran in. They all looked like something devastating had happened, which it had.
“Twilight!” Serena began. “We need to find my-!” Serena began to tell her before he saw Quill laying on Luna’s back. “Dad!” Serena yelled.
“Please be quiet, little one. Your father is resting. He used a large amount of his magic.” Luna told Serena.
“What in Equestria happened?” Twilight gasped as she viewed his wounded arm. “Let’s get him in bed so I can take a look at him.” She told everyone.
The current audience agreed and followed Twilight up the stairs and into a separate room used for guests. The room had golden wood surrounding the walls and the bed in the middle only barely fit Quill’s body. Taking the wounded Quill’s necklace off, and setting it on the nightstand, Twilight used her magic to scan Quill’s body to see the extent of the damage.
“Oh, my!” Twilight gasped.
“What is it? Is my dad okay?” Serena questioned worriedly.
“He’s going to be fine, but… He’s almost completely out of magic.” Twilight explained. “He has four broken ribs, and three cracked ribs. Along with his right arm having lacerations across the lower half of the elbow, his body is completely out of energy. It’ll take a while for him to heal completely.” Twilight diagnosed. “It’s better if we get him to a hospital, he’d heal properly there.” Twilight told them.
Luna let out a sigh and said: “Not even a day, and he already needs to get back to Canterlot’s Infirmary.” She chuckled.
“If it’s alright with you all, I could go with him and help heal him.” Zirconis told them looking at Zeref, and Mavis. “And plus, his injuries, compared to what he’s gotten in Fiore, are rather minor. He’s also a dragon so, his body naturally heals him fairly fast, but it’d still be best to get him to the Canterlot Infirmary. Wherever that is.” Zirconis added saying the last part quietly.
“It’s okay Zirconis. You’re trying to right your previous wrongs. We’ll go tell Cheerilie that he won’t make it to work for a while. C’mon Serena.” Zeref told them.
“B-But I don’t want to leave my dad!” Serena whined as he started to cry.
Zeref let out a heavy sigh as he watched Serena hug his adoptive father’s ripped and tattered cloak. As Zeref watched this his thoughts drifted and Serena’s crying figure warped into the figure of a young Natsu, who was also crying but instead of clutching Quill’s cloak, he was clutching his bed sheets. Zeref smiled softly at this memory from long ago, and he was brought back to reality.
Zeref walked over to Serena and placed his hand on the five-year-old Dragon Slayer’s shoulder: “If you promise not to cause any trouble, and to stay by either Luna, Zirconis, or Celestia’s side at ALL times. Then I guess, it wouldn’t hurt to allow you to go with them to Canterlot.” He told Serena.
Serena looked up at the Dark Wizard with hope and innocence flooding from his aura: “R-Really?” Serena asked.
“If, it’s fine with Luna.” Zeref told him looking over to the Princess of The Night.
“It will be fine. Serena can come with me to Canterlot.” Luna told the young wizard.
“Y-…” Serena started to say before letting out a big yawn. “Yay!” He cheered quietly as he drifted off to sleep, hugging Quill’s cloak tightly.
“I guess it’s time for everyone to sleep. It is almost midnight.” Mavis pointed out. “C’mon Zeref, we need to go check on Gilda and Mali.” She told her boyfriend.
“Right. Luna?” Zeref said getting her attention. “Please, take care of the two.” He told her.
Luna gave him a simple nod and trotted quietly over to the sleeping Serena. She kneeled down and with her wings, and not her magic as using her magic would wake him, picked the five-year-old up, cradling him in her wings. Zirconis walked over and grabbed Quill’s dragon tooth necklace off the nightstand before picking up the still unconscious Quill.
“You gonna teleport us?” Zirconis asked.
“It is the fastest way.” Luna told him plainly.
“Well, what’re you waiting for?” The Jade Dragon asked, smirking.
Luna rolled her eyes before her horn glowed with a blue magical aura, and with a flash, she, Serena, Zirconis, and Quill disappeared.
Canterlot
Celestia was pacing in the throne room back and forth, as she had been doing for more than six hours. She was stressed because of the explosion of magical energy, and because Twilight had reported to her about Serena and Gilda. Celestia was worried mainly about the magical explosion because the amount of power it expelled was greater than all of Equestria’s magic combined, and to top it all off, Luna had teleported, and to quote what Celestia had said while rambling two hours ago, “Mother knows where.”
As Celestia was mid-thought, a flash of light gained her attention when the flash swiftly died to reveal the Midnight-Blue Alicorn cradling a sleeping Serena, who was still hugging Quill’s cloak, in her wings, and next to her was a dragon who stood about a foot taller than Luna, whose scales were Jade-Green and he had whiskers that looked like a mustache. The dragon was carrying an unconscious and wounded Quill, whose bleeding arm had ceased thanks to a little healing Zirconis had performed a little while ago.
“Luna! Thank Mother you’re okay!” Celestia yelled.
Celestia yelled only to be shushed by both Zirconis and Luna as the latter looked down to see the young Serena only yawn before continuing his peaceful sleep. Serena was wearing his dragon onesie, which he had when turning to a kid.
“Luna, who are these two?” Celestia asked in a quieter tone.
“Sister, this” Motioning to Serena. “Is Serena, Quill’s adoptive son. And he,” She continued motioning to Zirconis. “Is… Zirconis right?” She asked.
“Correct.” Zirconis confirmed. “My name is Zirconis Jade. I’m a dragon from Fiore.” He introduced. “Though right now it’d be a good idea to get Quill to the Infirmary. There I can begin healing him properly.”
“Oh, right follow me.” Celestia reminded herself.
Celestia had led them all to the Infirmary where Zirconis laid Quill on the same bed Quill slept in when he was there before and set Quill’s necklace next to the bed on a nightstand. Zirconis then held his claws out and they started to glow a calming green color, and Quill’s wounds faintly glowed the same color.
“This could take a while.” Zirconis thought aloud.
“I’ll take young Serena to my quarters, so he can rest.” Luna told her sister, and Zirconis.
Luna then trotted away still carrying the sleeping Serena. She then arrived at her room. The walls were painted in a way which made it seem as if the night sky was all around them, and scattered her dresser was a warming white which made it seem like the moon.
Luna set the sleeping Serena down on the bed and tucked him in. She leaned down and gave him a kiss on the head, which caused Serena to smile peacefully. After making sure he was sleeping, Luna activated her magic and walked into the Dreamscape.
Luna’s POV- Dreamscape
I opened my eyes to the calm view of the Dreamscape. My realm. I waked across several doors which were marked with the Cutie Marks of all my subjects to show me whose dreams the doors led to. I walked upon the starry path, and it led me to five doors. The first door was marked by several objects that looked like sword, and they were connected to each other by the hilts, and they formed a partial circle, this was likely young Serena’s door. The second door was marked by what looked to be a symbol of a fairy, and this symbol was on two of the other doors, but this one had a Navy-Blue symbol, while the others had a gold symbol, and an Inferno-Red, so these were likely Zeref, Mavis, and Quill’s dreams. The last door simply had a Jade-Green draconic scale, so probably Zirconis’ dreams.
As I went to walk past the doors, I noticed that Quill’s door glowed which was odd. I decided to investigate. I approached the door and placed my hoof on the handle. I slowly opened the door to see a shining sunlight. I then opened the door fully to see a vast plain of grass, which overlooked a forest. The sky was a brilliant blue, and the sun’s light added to the beauty. I looked around in wonder. I then turned around to see two figures talking. I wondered who they are and what they’re discussing.
As I approached, I made out, what they looked like. The first looked like Quill but… his voice was deeper and calmer, and serious tone. The second voice sounded like Quill, but… his appearance was much different. His hair was the same as Quill, but it was much shorter, but still very messy. He wore a black hoodie with red markings all over it. On the sleeves of the hoodie were Roman numerals for the number four hundred. The same age as Quill and laced around his neck was the same dragon tooth necklace Quill has always worn. His skin tone was the same as Quill, but he didn’t have any markings. I could see that his eyes instead of a dead blue, were a menacing red. He wore grey jeans, and black tennis shoes with red laces, and he was much shorter than the Quill lookalike.
I tried to get closer, but the two-conversing people had suddenly stopped. My entire body then froze as they both looked directly at me. The strange thing though was that they both had different magic, but the one in the hoodie, had the same magic as Quill. The one in the hoodie, and my eyes met, and my eyes went wide. Without thinking about anything else and before I could do anything my mouth voiced my thoughts:
“Quill?”
The one in the hoodie looked at the Quill lookalike, and then back to me.
“Uhm… Well I guess it’s time for us to be formerly introduced.” The hoodie said. “Hello Luna. My name is Acnori Quill, and I’m… The-uh… The reincarnation of Acnologia’s Humanity, and the… The Time Dragon Slayer.” Quill? told me. “And this-!” He started again while gesturing to the Quill? lookalike. “-Is Acnologia Quill. This is the REAL Acnologia.” He finished.
I stood there shocked. W-What? Reincarnation? Humanity? What the Tartarus is going on? Does this mean, the Quill I love is… Isn’t real? I thought as many more questions shot about my mind, one stood out and was a constant. Who is the real Quill?
“Hey!” Acnologia’s voice resonated, snapping me out of my trance. “You good?” He asked rudely snapping his fingers in front of my face.
“Acno, stop. She’s just processing what I told her. Don’t be rude.” Quill told Acnologia.
“Jeez, I was only seeing if she wasn’t brain de-.” Acnologia tried to finish before Quill smacked him upside the head. “OW! Hey, the hell was that for?!” Acnologia asked while rubbing the back of his head.
“For being a douche.” Quill retorted. He then looked over to me. “Hey Luna? Are there any questions you need answered?” Quill asked.
I looked at the man who claimed to be Acnori Quill dead in the eyes and asked: “Who are you?”
Both Acnologia, and Quill paused at my question, and Quill let out a heavy sigh.
“Are you asking to know our past?” Acnologia asked.
I gave a wordless answer and nodded: “Alright… then listen good and well because we’re only telling our story, once.” Quill stated as I sat down. “This is our story.”
“Once upon a time…”

Chapter 6- Our Story
Chapter 6- Our Story
Once upon a time, on a continent called Fiore, two races of creatures lived and reigned supreme. Humans, and Dragons. The Humans, while weak in magical power, they were abundant in numbers. The Dragons, while small in numbers, were powerful in magical abilities. The two races lived in peace until one day, a war broke out. The Dragon race was divided in two, those who wanted to live in harmony with the Humans, and those who want all Humans to be eradicated. This war had been raging for several decades before one day, a woman named Irene, had an idea. This woman along with a Dragon named Belserion, bonded their powers together, and thus the birth of the very first Dragon Slayer. And the beginning of a timer… A timer that counts the days, until the Dragon King Festival.
Our story then brings us to a small village called, Montes Secreta, lived a doctor who was just like any other person. However, fate had a different plan for him. His name was just simply, Quill. His home village was guarded by a peaceful Dragon named Acnologia, and for many years the village lived in peace and safety. During one of these peaceful years, Quill had married and had a daughter named Sonya. Then, betrayal and tragedy confided, and devastated Quill’s home.
Acnologia, the dragon that had protected Montes Secreta, had turned and destroyed the village, killing everyone except for Sonya and Quill, who were out in the woods playing. Sonya and Quill were devastated to watch their home be burnt to the ground. So, they made a vow. Sonya vowed to live her life for everyone who lost their own. But Quill… Vowed to find and kill Acnologia. Thus, the father and daughter traveled to a different village, and found his solution: Dragon Slayer Magic. So, Quill decided to join in the fight in the Dragon Civil War, supporting the coexistence of both Humans and Dragons.
After enlisting in the army, Quill swiftly rose through the ranks and joined the Dragon Slayer unit as one of its most powerful members. But he had to learn the magic. So, in order to learn, he trained under the cruel Dragon known as Tyrrios. Under this Dragon he learned the Lost Magic and hunted down Acnologia. However, during one of the callback missions before Quill could begin looking for Acnologia, he learned of his daughter’s kidnapping. She was taken by two Dragons, but one Dragon had gone to stop them. Quill after learning of this, tried to tell his mentor Tyrrios, but he was nowhere to be found. Ignoring everything else Quill rushed off to find his beloved daughter, and his only family left.
And he did find her. But… She was already on death’s doorstep. She was killed, by two Dragons. The first was called Animus, and the second was one who betrayed Quill’s trust. It was Tyrrios. The Dragon Quill had trusted, the one that had taught Quill all he knew. The one Dragon that was trying to protect Sonya, was named Zirconis. Though Zirconis was a neutral in the war, neither on the coexistence side, nor fighting to wipe Humanity off the planet. The only reason Zirconis tried to protect Sonya was because he does not condone the slaughter of children.
That moment when Sonya reached out to her father, saying just one thing. “Please daddy… I-I don’t want to die.” That moment is when it all changed. This is where our story ends… And begins. In response, Quill murdered Zirconis, Tyrrios, and nearly killed Animus. Animus escaped only because he enchanted himself inside of Sonya’s body. As far as her history goes, she is currently living in a village along with Fairy Tail, and after figuring out that Tyrrios’ name was really Acnologia, Quill took up the mantle, as the King of The Dragons. The Black Dragon of The Apocalypse.
But mere seconds after Sonya uttered that sentence… Quill’s Humanity reincarnated. And this is where Acnori Quill’s story begins.
On the date November 21, 1998, in Japan, a child was born. His name was Acnori Quill.
Over the years, as Acnori grew up, he had no memories of his previous life and had a good childhood. However, that all changed when he discovered a manga, a comic book which depicts an adventure of fictional characters. This manga’s name was Fairy Tail. As Acnori continued to read and grow up with this manga, his love for it grew and continued until he was twenty-one.
Acnori had gotten a pass for a convention called an Anime Convention, which was being held, in a place called New York. He dressed up in something known as a cosplay and went as his favorite Fairy Tail character. His cosplay was handmade, and it was detailed to the smallest detail, however, Acnori didn’t get enough time to find something. A red Dragon Tooth necklace. But he knew he could find it at the convention.
So, once he entered the convention, he walked and searched for the necklace, and he had finally found it. He approached the stall, and bought the necklace from the merchant, and put it on. But this necklace was enchanted as was all of The Merchant’s wares. For you see, The Merchant is known as a Displacer, a Void Dweller who sells his wares at ridiculously low prices, and then those wares send the buyer to a different universe with all the abilities of the original owner of that specific item, causing them to become a Displaced. The Displaced, formerly known as Dimensionally Misplaced, then explore and journey through the universes they’ve been sent to and communicate with one another using the Tokens. The Tokens, are the items that sent the Displaced to their new universe and have been imbued with messages and are sent into the Void to find different Displaced, so they can be summoned, or they can receive another Displaced Token, and have the ability to summon them. While in their original universe, a clone takes their place, or they just simply just disappear.
So, once Acnori placed that enchanted necklace around his neck, he fell unconscious, and after waking up, he found himself a Displaced, and in a new world, called…
Luna’s POV- Quill and Acnologia’s Dreamscape
“… Equestria.” Quill finished telling me.
I had listened intently to their story, and… I… I didn’t know what to think, or what to say. Displaced? Reincarnation? Tokens? The Merchant? I don’t understand any of this. My mind was running all over the place trying to stay calm, and not have a mental breakdown, but… It wasn’t going all to well. I start to hyperventilate, and tears form in the corners of my eyes. I-I can’t take it! I-I don’t know what’s real anymore!
“Hey.” Quill says catching my attention, placing his hands on my shoulders. “Calm down. It’s all okay. Nothing bad is happening. It’s a lot to absorb all at once, I know. I felt the same way when I realized that I was a reincarnation.” He soothed, pulling me into a comforting hug.
I couldn’t respond, except for returning the hug, and my tears began to flow uncontrollably. I then cried and cried. My tears dropping onto the grassy plains. I felt as Quill softly ran his hand through my mane in a lulling way, which started to calm me down. As my tears slowly ceased, I pulled back from the hung and looked into Quill’s eyes. They were no longer a menacing, and intimidating crimson red, but a calm and relaxed rusted color. I felt myself get lost staring into them. In response Quill tilted his head to the side a small bit and gave me a small smile. Getting lost in the moment, I moved closer to him. And my head continued the journey, until our lips met each other.
I kissed him.
I felt his body flinch in shock, before he as well, melted into the kiss. After twenty seconds, we had to break apart the kiss, because of the cursed need to breath. His expression was one of sweetness and kindness.
“Well… That was a little unexpected.” He said. “But it was a welcome surprise. I love you Luna.” Quill told me.
“I love you too, my dragon.” I responded.
In the back, I could hear Acnologia chuckle and mumble something about, “Took them long enough.” I ignore him and focused on the moment. But… once again, fate had a different plan. Because the Dreamscape of Quill’s mind was slowly starting to fade.
“Luna? What’s happening?” Quill asked.
“It seems that you’re waking up.” I told him. I then gave him a quick peck on the cheek. “I’ll see you when you wake my beloved.” I giggled as Quill’s face became red, and I exited the Dream, and entered Reality.
Real World- Third POV
Luna’s eyes opened slowly, and as the brilliant light of the sun shone into the room, Luna’s attention quickly found itself drawn to the small five-year-old Dragon Slayer who had slept in her bed. Serena let out a small yawn before his eyes groggily opened and he looked around slowly, his eyes landing on the smiling Princess of The Night.
“Good Morning Woona.” Serena slurred, as he slowly sat up. “Where am I?” He asked.
“Well, your father was injured, and we brought him along with Zirconis and you to Canterlot, so he could heal. You fell asleep on the way, and I brought you to my room so you could sleep peacefully.” Luna explained. “I also visited him while Dream Walking, and he should be waking in a little while. Come, let’s go get some breakfast.” She suggested.
Serena gave a simple nod before trying to get up. Only to find his legs, still asleep.
Luna giggled as Serena tried once more to get up. Luna then noticed that Serena was still holding Quill’s tattered cloak: “Here, how about you sit on my back and I carry you?” Luna suggested.
Serena literally had stars in his eyes as he was lifted up with Luna’s Midnight-Blue magic and placed onto Luna’s back. The toddler Dragon Slayer was almost bouncing with amazement. Luna, with Serena on her back, trotted down to the dining hall, to find Celestia, Zirconis, and Quill already eating breakfast, with the latter’s right arm being wrapped in several bandages, and his chest having many, many bandages wrapped round it. Luna blushed heavily, trying to hide it and succeeding partially behind her Midnight-Blue coat. However, due to their keen eyesight, Zirconis and Quill noticed. Zirconis just ignored it, while Quill smiled softly.
“Good morning Luna, Good morning Serena.” Celestia greeted her younger sister. Celestia then levitated a stack of waffles with whipped cream, and some blueberries and strawberries up a little gaining Serena’s attention at the mouthwatering breakfast. “Would you two like some breakfast?”
“YES!” Serena shouted.
“Serena. Manners please.” Quill told his son. “Now get over here and give your old man a hug.” Quill stated, as Serena’s eyes widened and started to water.
Serena literally leapt off Luna’s back and, with Quill’s tattered cloak remaining in his ever tightened grasp, dove into a Dragon Slayer hug, wrapping his small arms around the neck of the wounded Time Dragon Slayer, and flooding his tears of relief and joy into the shoulder and bandaged chest of his father.
“Dad! You’re okay!!” Serena cried.
Quill sighed and patted Serena’s back as the crying child coughed while stuttering against his words. Quill could feel the emotion, the happiness, the joy, the worry, and every other emotion. “Hey… It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m fine. Thanks to Zirconis, I’ll make a full recovery.” Quill soothed, as he felt the magic of Dragon Slayer emotion begin to ever so subtly leak from Serena.
Quill knew how powerful and wild Fioren magic can get it used purely based on emotion. It had helped Natsu, defeat Gajeel, Jellal, and Acnologia. But it could also cause mass destruction, but with Serena being at a still young age, the emotion magic wouldn’t cause as much destruction, but the room would’ve been trashed.
Serena had soon calmed down and sat next to his father. Quill had begun cutting Serena’s waffles when Serena said: “Uhm... Dad?” Quill looked down to his son and waited for what he would say. “You forgot this when you were asleep. And I wanted to give it back to you.” Serena explained while holding up the tattered cloak.
Quill took the cloak his five-year-old son handed him and looked nostalgically at it. Quill smiled and looked back to Serena. Serena looked at his father expectantly, and much to his surprise, Quill responded by wrapping the tattered cloak around young Serena.
“You can have it kid. It’s gotten a little destroyed, and if I keep getting into fights like that… Then I’d rather you have it, and it not get as destroyed.” Quill explained.
Serena smiled brightly, and thanked Quill, before beginning to eat his waffles hungrily, causing Luna and Quill to giggle at Serena’s childishness. After a few minutes of eating, Celestia had to leave for Day Court, which Quill would be joining in a little, after he had finished his breakfast. Zirconis took Serena, to go play in the Royal Garden, which Serena was ecstatic about. Until finally, the only two left in the dining room, was Quill and Luna. The two looked at each other, and their memories flashed to the kiss they shared when in Quill’s Dreamscape. The two blushed at the memory, and an awkward silence enveloped the room.
After an unbearable minute of awkward silence, Quill decided to speak: “So… uh… About what happened in my, uh… Dream last night… When we, uh… When we kissed.” He began awkwardly.
“Um… Yeah? What about it?” Luna asked, also incredibly awkward.
“I… Enjoyed it.” Quill admitted while his markings were faintly illuminating, with a blush red hue.
“Oh… I… I also enjoyed it.” Luan admitted also, while trying to hide her blush, and being very unsuccessful.
The two sat in awkward silence, once again. Neither of them willing to utter a word. Until after a few more minutes, Quill decided to speak once more.
“So… God, this is so awkward. What should we tell the others, Lulu?” Quill asked, addressing Luna with a nickname.
“I don’t know but we will tell them eventually, and ‘Lulu’? Where did that come from?” Luna asked.
“Well… I just thought that, since we’re now dating, that I would give you a nickname.” Quill sheepishly explained, while rubbing his neck.
Luna stood up and totted over to her new lover. She then sat next to him and awkwardly leaned on him before giving him a quick kiss to the cheek. “Well… I-I think it’s cute, and I like it.” She stuttered out, waiting for a response.
When she didn’t get one, she looked up at her silent lover, only to find him completely unresponsive. When she tried to get a response by shaking him a voice which came from nowhere resonated and above Quill’s head these words appeared:
“Acnori Quill. EXE is not responding please try again later.” The voice stated.
“Oh, Mother damnit.” Luna grumbled. “SISTER! I THINK I BROKE QUILL!!!!” Luna called for her sister using the Royal Voice.
In response Celestia also used the Royal Voice and asked: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU BROKE HIM!?”
“JUST GET IN HERE!” Luna told Celestia.
After a few seconds Celestia walked back into the room and looked at the crashed Quill, and the words that hovered above him.
“What in Mother’s name is this DogShit? What the Tartarus happened?” Celestia asked.
“Well… You see…” Luna began sheepishly.
Meanwhile, outside and in the Griffon Kingdom, an old griffon sat watching the grey sky pass endlessly on. It was a peaceful day until:
“YOU TWO ARE WHAT!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!”
The scream rattled several windows, and the elder griffon looked up and saw the sun shining much brighter.
“It’s suddenly so hot. I wonder why.” The elder griffon wondered.
“You two are dating?!” Celestia yelled in question from the sudden news.
In response to the Sun Princess’s rage, volatility, and confusion, the sun itself heated up beyond measure. Luna tried to calm her older sibling down and gained only little progress, but steadily, Celestia calmed down enough that the sun wouldn’t burn everything.
“Yes, we are dating now. It happened last night, when I visited Quill’s Dreams. Once I got there, I learned of his past and… We started to date. I was the one who made the first move.” Luna sheepishly explained while Celestia listened quietly. “But right now, we need to fix Quill.” Luna reminded.
“Right.” Celestia sighed. “But could you elaborate on what you mean by, you learned his past?” Celestia asked.
“That’s for him to tell.” Luna told her. “For now, let’s focus on fixing Quill.” She said.
When the two sisters looked at Quill, above his head, the words had changed. They now read: “Reboot in progress…” They quickly changed to read: “Reboot successful.” And Quill began to move again.
“What the hell happened?” Quill muttered softly.
“Well…” Luna started. “When I kissed your cheek, you had an error message above your head.” She said plainly.
“So, I rebooted.” Quill summarized.
Luna nodded in response, and added: “Also, sister now knows we’re dating.”
Before Quill had a chance to respond, he was met with the towering figure of Celestia glaring down at him. Quill retracted his body and shrunk beneath the towering Princess. What. The. Fuck!? Was the only thought running through Quill’s mind right now. Celestia gazed at Quill for a moment before, Quill felt a pair of wings envelope him in a hug. He looked to see Celestia giving him a hug.
“What took you so long?” Celestia asked.
“Wut?” Quill muttered.
Celestia explained that she knew Quill liked Luna, and vice versa. She was just bidding her time and waiting for this to happen. After some annoyed glares from Luna and Quill, Luna walked off to go find Serena and Zirconis, while Celestia and Quill walked off to Day Court. But just as Quill began to leave, he remembered something.
Quill’s POV
“Oh, crud. Hey, Celestia wait a sec.” I told her before turning around. “Hey! Lulu!” I called, causing Luna to turn back around. “Do you want to see me make my Token?” I asked her.
“You mean you haven’t made yours yet?” She quizzically asked.
“No, haven’t had the time to. But I figured now would be the best time to do it.” I told her while taking my necklace off.
Let’s see if I have the process down right. I thought while holding the Dragon tooth necklace, dangling in my grip. I focused some of my magical power into it, and it became outlined with a magical Navy-Blue glow.
“Here goes nothing.” I mumbled. “If you have found this necklace, it means you have found my Token. You now hold the power of The Apocalypse in your grasp. If you wish to use my power for nefarious plans, then it shall be you, who is eradicated. If you wish to use my power for peace, then place this necklace around your neck, and call the name of The King of The Dragons: Acnologia.” I finished, creating my oath.
Luna looked at it as it resonated with my magic. I smiled and my hand, which held the necklace, and I threw it at the wall. But before it hit the wall, rip in the Void opened and the necklace flew into it and the rip resealed. Before it closed, I had gotten a good look at the Void and all I could see was an infinite darkness. That was kinda scary, but as soon as the rip closed, I felt the necklace reappear around my neck.
“Is that it?” Luna asked.
“That’s it.” I confirmed.
Luna giggled at my uncaring confirmation and waved with her hoof. I then proceeded to walk to the throne room with Celestia, and once we arrived, I stood in the same spot I did when I was first in Canterlot. After getting settled, Celestia turned to me.
“I think most cases will be about what transpired yesterday. I’ve also wanted to ask; how did you recover so quickly? It took three days for you to recover last time you fought.” She asked.
“Well, it seems my magical resistance has returned. I don’t know how else I could phrase that better.” I told her sloppily. “Well, anyway. Shall we commence?” I asked, gaining a nod.
Little did I realize, that almost the entire city had gotten in line. When I finally did realize it. Oh, it was too fucking late, because the first pony that walked up, made me want to sleep for an entire month.
The Pegasus that walked up had a pitch-black mane and tail, with a crimson red stripe going down the middle, and her fur was all crimson red, and her Cutie Mark was a circular ruby, with a glistening shine.
“Ah! Duchess Ruby! What a nice surprise! To what do I owe the pleasure?” Celestia forced a sweet smile.
I leaned close to a guard, who was standing close to me: “Who is this? And why is Celestia forcing a smile?” I whisper very quietly.
“Duchess Ruby thinks that the Pegasus race is above all including the Alicorns. She is also suspected of owning a slave trade ring, but there is no definitive evidence.” He told me.
I looked at the Duchess and I heard Acnologia actually choke. What the actual FUCK!? Acno screamed, as I stayed quiet in reality just staring at Duchess Ruby run her mouth. What is it, Acno? I asked. That, that BITCH! Has killed so many living creatures, and innocents! I can literally smell the blood she has on her hooves! Acno gagged.
I immediately listened into the conversation Celestia and Ruby are having and the first. FUCKING. WORD. Is all I hear before I decide that Ruby needs to die.
“Peasant Celestia, you know why I’m here.” Ruby remarks with a proud smile. “We pegasi should be the commanding race, for we are above all, and you all are beneath us. Give up the throne peasant!” Ruby commands.
I just stare at her blankly. Is this a fucking regular thing? I continue to stare at Ruby, and then she looks at me.
“Also, who is this? Your new pet?” She asked snidely. “I’d be glad to take him off your hooves~. He seems like a fine specimen~.” She swoons, looking at me in a very, disgustingly seductive way.
Okay this has gone from zero to a hundred too fucking quick. All I wanted was to help out Celestia with Day Court, but now I’ve got a horny bitch of a Pegasus wanting to fuck me? HELL NO! I’m dating Luna for Christ’s sake! I hear that Acnologia is about to vomit, and I honestly am too!!!
“Okay.” I say as I raise my non-bandaged arm. “First of all, no… I’m not her pet. I’m an actual living thing, with sentience. Second, my name does not matter to you, as you will not be taking me home so you can relieve your painfully obvious horniness, and last, if you ever. And I mean EVER! Try to come near me or any of my family, I will personally, sucker punch you into the sun.” I tell her, before turning to Celestia. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go throw up. And I’ll be with the others in the Garden.” I say before I walk out of the room.
I calmly make my way to the bathroom, which is conveniently marked by the crack marks I made last time I visited it. I, with a calm and collected manner, open the door and walk in. After turning on the lights, I close the door. I then walk over to the toilet and lift the lid up, before dropping onto my knees and projectile vomiting into the toilet, and I swear to everything Holy, Acnologia’s puke was in that toilet too. After getting all of that out of my system, I stood up and flushed. I then walked over and washed my hands, before looking up and staring at myself in the mirror.
What I saw wasn’t Acnori, nor was it Acnologia. What I saw was Quill. I only saw myself. I smiled as my markings illuminated slightly, signifying that my wounds were healing. Slowly, but surely, I was getting better. I finished cleaning up, before walking out and heading to the Gardens. When I arrived, I saw Luna sitting next to Serena, while Zirconis was leaning against a tree smiling at the scene. I walked over to the Jade Dragon, and he quickly noticed me.
“Hey Quill. Day Court done already?” He asked.
“No.” I let out an exhausted sigh. “Just some entitled Pegasus who almost ruined a good day.” I told him.
“We all have those creatures in our lives. We just don’t who they are.” He summarized.
“Pretty sure I met Celestia’s mood killer so.” I concluded with a smirk. I watched as a butterfly landed on Serena’s head, causing him to giggle. “But also, I did kinda turn my mood killer into a Nuclear Shadow [1] though.” I pointed out.
“Well, anyway.” He changed the topic. “What do you think about doing today? I mean, we still have time.” He reminded.
I looked up thoughtfully for a moment, staring at the sky. I then looked back down and to Zirconis.
“Well, we do need to get your living situation out of the way. But I’m pretty sure you could stay in the house with me, Serena, Mavis, and Zeref. If you don’t care about sleeping on the couch, cause we don’t have any spare rooms. Eating won’t be a problem because I found that Dragons here eat gems, and they’re not that bad.” I told him.
“Well, I’m good for sleeping on the couch. And the gems I’ll have to try later. But we do have to check on Gilda and Mari too.” Zironis told me.
“That’s right. Hmm…-“ I thought while putting my bandaged hand under my chin thoughtfully. “-Oh! I got it!” I exclaimed, while not yelling it. “Since Mari and Gilda likely won’t be able to go back to GriffonStone anytime soon, you, her and Mari could buy a house. It would fix that living situation and you could better protect them.” I suggested. “Hey, maybe if you’re lucky, you and Gilda could get together.” I remark slyly.
“W-What?” Zirconis questioned while his cheek scales grew bright red. “W-Why would you even suggest that?” Zirconis asked while blushing madly.
“C’mon bro, I know you like her. I could tell when you freed Gilda, and when you healed Mari and Rainbow. Plus, you did help her daughter. That’s got to count for something.” I shrugged. “Also, -“ I tried to say before Zirconis cut me off.
“I know that you’re Acnologia’s reincarnation. Yeah, Acno only used Magic Dragon Slayer magic while you used Time Dragon Slayer magic. It wasn’t that easy to figure out though, I mean you both do look the exact same, but it would make sense.” Zirconis told me.
“Right, well you know how I went to earth when reincarnating?” I asked receiving a nod. “Well there was this show I liked back there called, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And the world we’re in right now, is the world that show takes place.” I told him, gaining wide eyes. “Now, please don’t tell anyone about this. Not even Serena, I don’t want to make things any more complicated than they already are, and plus… What would the others say if they knew I knew this world’s future, or at least…? What this world’s future might look like.” I asked him quietly, while Serena continued to play with the animals in the Garden.
“I see what you mean, but like you’re insinuating, just us being here has likely altered this universe’s future, and timeline. Best case scenario, we stop all the bad here, and we live in peace. Worst case… Well, let’s just hope that Mayan Calendar of yours doesn’t reach an end anytime soon.” He replied.
I gave him a nod and continued watching Serena and Luna play with a new addition to the Gardens. Philomena had arrived, while me and Zirconis were talking and she began to play with my son. I smiled while watching them, but my attention was soon draw by a slight breeze, which pointed my attention near Ponyville. More specifically, towards my house, where Zeref and Mavis were currently residing. I look over towards the direction, and Zirconis places his hand on my shoulder, I notice that Serena is down next to my leg, wanting to be picked up. I hear Luna trot up beside me and I pick up Serena and he giggles playfully, and I feel an enterial Acnologia standing behind me. We all look off into the direction the breeze blew, and we smile.
Whatever this world has in store for us in the future… We’ll be ready. I may be just a reincarnation, and I may not be the real Acnologia. But I’ll tell you this… My arriving here was… well… it was An Apocalyptic Displacment. I think proudly. Merchant, wherever you are… Thank you, for not only bringing me to my new family, but for also showing me, who I really am.
As the breeze continued to blow, it blew past these words:
To Be Continued...
The screen glitches to show a static figure. A Pony. The Pony was an Alicorn whose fur was grey, and his mane and tail were pitch-black, with snow-white stripes going through it. His Cutie Mark was covered by a cross slash scar, but it was a burning golden sun covered by a dark-silver moon. It was an Eclipse. All over his body was littered with scars, and their color was silver. He had several silver scars running down his back, chest, and legs. His left eye was a brilliant, and glowing silver, but his right eye had a massive scar stringing from the base of his horn, to the base of his chin, his right eye had dulled into a faded white. His horn looked scarily similar to King Sombra’s but instead of a crimson red, it was a vibrant gold. His wings were pitch-black, but his left wing had three scars each one differing in length, and his right only had one, six-inch scar. He wore a dulled white scarf, with three different Cutie Marks on it. The first was Celestia’s shimmering sun Cutie Mark, the second was Luna’s beautiful moon Cutie Mark, and the last… was his Cutie Mark.
This was King Rose. This… Is me.

Okay, that’s better. Let’s start over. Hello, my friends and viewers! I am King Rose! The creator of this Fic and a few others. One such Fic is fairly new, and it’s called My Little Crusader. If you want you can go check it out, but before clicking away, I’ve got an announcement. As you’ve seen in this chapter, I sent out Quill’s Token. Which means, and other displaced author, is welcome to message me, so we could do a colab and either Quill could go into your story, or your character could go into mine. If you want to use him in a fight scene these are his current magical abilities:
Time Quake: Channels a large amount of his temporal magic into his kicks or his punches and either attacks his opponent, or stomps the ground causing a miniature earthquake, or shattering a full-grown Dragon’s bones and scales.
Temporal Dragon Iron Fist: Is like the Fire Dragon Iron Fist, but instead he uses Time magic.
Time Twisters: Sends a large amount of gale winds towards his opponent with enough force to shatter boulders.
And finally, the most powerful ability so far:
Time Dragon Secret Art: Mayan Calendar Devastator: Magic from anywhere and everywhere swirls around Quill, and Acnologia and it condenses into a small sphere as between his hands when they are set in front of his chest. As soon as enough magic has gathered into the sphere he slams his hands together and a shockwave of magic is sent outwards in all directions hitting his opponent and the surrounding area, however the collateral damage can be on a grand scale, but the casualties are kept at a minimum only harming those who deep in Acnologia’s heart he deems as enemies, but it drains all of Quills magic leaving him essentially defenseless.
These are his current abilities, and message me if you want to crossover with me. I’d be more than happy to allow you to use him. And just for a reminder, this is Quill's Oath: If you have found this necklace, it means you have found my Token. You now hold the power of The Apocalypse in your grasp. If you wish to use my power for nefarious plans, then it shall be you, who is eradicated. If you wish to use my power for peace, then place this necklace around your neck, and call the name of The King of The Dragons: Acnologia." I finish. “That’s all I have for now so until next time, I bid you all, Adeu~"
An Apocalyptic Alchemist: Part 1 Crossover Chapter
Chapter 7- An Apocalyptic Alchemist
Serena POV
I sit in my father's arms while smiling happily and looking off into the clear blue sky. I’m happy knowing that I’m with my family. Dad then sets me down from his arms, making me pout.
“Aw, but I want to be held more!” I whine.
“Serena, why don’t you go play with the garden animals some more?” My dad chuckles as he crouches down to my height, and grins.
“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…… Fine!” I pout, before hugging him and running off to play with the critters.
I see a fox that looks at me curiously, to which I look back at it. The fox cocks its head to the side and I copy the action. I giggle as it walks over and licks my face, its tongue feels smooth but rough at the same time. I then pet it by rubbing my hand down its back, and the fox’s fur felt like a blanket. An orange, white and living blanket. Suddenly it turns around and bolts off towards the bushes and stops just before the entrance. It looks back at me with green eyes before running into the hedge.
“H-Hey! Wait up!” I call out to the fox.
I run after the animal, and I rush into the dense green foliage, barely keeping sight of the fox that continues to outrun me. I feel my clothes rip in several spots like my legs and arms, as I pass branches that smack my sides and scratch me. Finally, I emerge from the bushes and the fox stops running, allowing me to catch my breath.
“Finally… You stopped running!” I wheeze in between pants. It felt like I was running after the fox for hours. I then look up and gasp at the scene around me.
Before it looked like a normal garden of bushes, but as I looked around right now, my thoughts have changed. It looked like an entire village of foxes and other animals, like otters, hummingbirds, flamingoes, and other varieties of animals, all living here in this secluded area. I then feel a paw tapping my right leg. Looking down, I see it’s the fox I was chasing. He looked worried, so I decided to follow him, and he’d lead me to another fox, who was trapped under a metallic object, which looked like a watch. I leaned down and tried to pick up the watch only to reel my hand back, as some sort of magic leapt out and tried to grab me. I rubbed my hand while glaring at the watch. I gained a determined look in my eyes and reached for the watch again, this time I didn’t pull my hand back as the magic grabbed me and pulled my hand farther towards it, causing me to grab the watch in my hand. I gasped as I heard a calm, yet authoritative voice resonates in my head.
I am the one who constructs and deconstructs, the partner and protector of the moon and sun, I aid the innocent and protect the children if you require aid, call my name and I will come forth, The Crimson Sage.
I stumbled back in surprise and let out a startled yelp. I land on my butt as I breathe heavily and look at the watch in my hand.
“What the heck was that?” I ask myself. “Dad might know,” I mumble before getting nuzzled from two foxes.
I giggle as the foxes nuzzle me in gratitude. I return the favor by giving them both a hug. I then stand up and dust myself off, before waving bye and walking out the way I entered the foliage. My way out was easier than going in, but I did manage to avoid being smacked in the face by several other branches. I then emerge from the bushes once more, and this time I find Zirconis taking a nap under a shady tree, with Dad and Luna sitting next to him and talking.
“Dad!” I yell, catching his attention.
“Is there something you need Serena?” He asked. “Wait, what do you have there?” He noticed the watch in my hand.
“It’s something I found while helping two foxes. I think it’s a watch, but it has weird magic.” I explain as he walks over and I hold out the watch to him.
He gives off a thoughtful expression before plucking the watch out of my hand and his eyes go incredibly wide. After several seconds, his eyes dart to the watch and he mumbled something I couldn’t hear, before raising his voice, Zirconis had woken up and groggily looked over to us.
“I didn’t expect to receive one this early,” Dad told himself.
“Receive one of what Quill?” Luna asked while looking at my dad.
“Well… You remember how I told you that Displaced could receive another Displaced’s tokens right?” Dad asked Luna, nodding in response. “Well… This is one of those tokens.” Dad told her.
Luna gasped before looking at dad in an unbelieving expression: “Are you sure?”
“Well either, I heard an oath, or I’m going insane again, but I’m pretty sure I’m still sane. So this must be a Token.” Dad then pauses and looks around before stating, “I’m gonna call them.” He stated. Not asked, just stated.
“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Luna asked with worry woven into her eyes.
“I’m sure, and plus the oath I heard said that they are the protector of the innocent, so that means they aren’t a murderous or insane Displaced like some of the others I’ve heard about.” He says while looking back at the watch. “Well, here goes nothing.” He whispers.
Dad then stands up and walks a few feet in front of us, Zirconis now being much more awake. Dad holds the watch out in front of him, and looks back at us, before sighing and turning back to the watch.
“I call upon The Crimson Sage!” Dad yells.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty second and nothing happens. I go to say something when suddenly a bright flash erupts from the watch and blinding us all. After several seconds our vision returns and where the watch dad was holding was, now laid a portal which resonated with green and red energy.
Out of the portal stepped what looked like a tall man with a blonde braid. He was wearing a long red-hooded coat overtop a black suit with silver trim. On his face was an ornate pearl mask with gold outlines on it. On his hand were white gloves.
“Can I even go home anymore,” the man commented as he strained his jacket. “First a green-haired swordsman summons me then I get lost and stuck in a Rwby world on my way back using one of his portals then just as I get back to my own portal wham!” He shouted in anger. “I get pulled here.” He looked over to us. “Hmm, who's the Displaced wise guy?” He held up a gloved fist.
My dad takes a small step forward and with a deep voice, which resonated within the gardens he answered: “That would be me.” Dad tells the man. “There’s no need for a fight.” He stated while raising his hands in a calming way.
“Fairy Tail is the theme this time. Judging on your looks your Acnologia, and a reincarnation at that,” the man spoke in a confident tone. “And if I wanted to fight then I’d fight. There’s not really anything you could do to stop me Former Dragon King. So, what’s your name and why’d you bring me here?”
Dad looks thoughtful for a little bit before answering the man: “Well, first off, my name is Acnori Quill. Just call me Quill though, and my reason for bringing you here is… well… Actually, there’s not really a definitive reason, other than me receiving a Displaced token after only really being here for little more than a week.” Dad explained. “It could also have something to do with me having created my own token only about, a few hours ago,” Dad told the man, before retorting. “And even though I might not be able to stop you, I could certainly try, and I can guarantee you that I’d put up one hell of a fight. And if I went down, there's always Acnologia to back me up.” Dad grinned. “But now it’s time for my question…” Dad said before his grin disappeared and was replaced with a dead serious frown and his eyes narrowed. “How the fuck do you know about my reincarnation?”
“Many ways actually but just chalk it up to my Seith magic and my Soul perception this time Dragon Slayer,” the man shot back. “I see Luna over there and a few others. Ponies this time. I sense to more powerful Magics nearby too. Other Displaced,” he stroked his chin under his mask. This guy could sense Mavis and Zeref. What else can he do?
“I’m hungry!” He said in an embarrassed tone. “Y’all had breakfast yet?”
I decided to speak up at this point: “Well, there should still be some leftovers in the kitchen.” I tell the man. “Dad? Could you and I lead him to the kitchen?” I ask my father.
Just before Dad could answer, a slightly loud grumbling sound emitted from the man’s stomach.
Dad let out a slightly annoyed sigh before pinching the bridge of his nose and saying: “Fine, c’mon Serena, let’s go. If you want some food, then I suggest you follow, or your stomach’s gonna get pretty pissed.” Dad chuckled as I ran over next to him and we began to walk back inside the castle to go to the kitchen.
“Didn’t waste any time on making a move on the Princess of the Night. Aye Dragon of the Apocalypse,” the masked man chuckled as we soon arrived in the kitchen. “Wonder if the Celestia here keeps a stash of cake behind the thrown to? Oh, cereal.”
“Dad, what’s up with this guy? It’s like he went from a demanding force to a food fueled numskull in zero to sixty,” I said as I watched the strange idiot making a bowl of milk and cereal.
“I don’t really know, but let’s just be glad that this is one of the more friendly Displaced,” Dad whispered to me.
“No need to whisper I can hear every word you’re saying,” he said from across the kitchen. “Come sit young ones, join me in my glorious breakfast feast of milk and cereal.”
We both merely stared at the red-robed idiot. “Seriously? What’s this guys deal?”
Dad then smiles and chuckles a little before dropping a bomb: “Actually, I wasn’t the one who made the first move. It was actually Luna.” He told the man eating the cereal, causing the cereal eating man to gain a bewildered look.
“Oh wait a minute. You can’t see my face due to the mask. Sorry and kid,” he turned his head to face me.
“What?” I glared at this idiot.
“Don’t piss your pants,” he said nonchalantly as he removed his mask to reveal a pair of amber gold eyes the looked down at me. Suddenly a massive wave of pressure washed over everything I nearly passed out trying to find what was causing this force on my body. Then I realized it was the idiot across from me and Dad.
“Who… are… you?” I managed to wheeze out.
“Edward Elric the Fullmetal Alchemist. Husband to Princess Luna and Partner to Princess Celestia. Father of the twin Star alicorns Morning Star and Solar Eclipse. Uncle to Adam Winger, Sorano Elric, Alexandria Justine, and Natalie Basatin,” he said with fervor. “That answer your question kid?” He asked as he munched on his cereal.
“I… I think so.” I managed to say.
“Jeez…” I could hear dad say as I looked up to see him not affected by the enormous amount of pressure washing over the room. “C-Could you tone down the magical pressure there Edward? You’re gonna make my son pass out.” He said, gesturing to me.
“Oh!” Edward said as he looked at me. He then held up his hand and reached into so sort of space and pulled out a ring and placed it on his finger. The pressure suddenly vanished. “There ya go. Feeling better young one?”
Feeling much better, I shake off the after-effects of the magical pressure: “Yeah, that’s a lot better, thank you.” I told him. “But since you introduced yourself, I’ll introduce myself. I am Serena Quill, Adopted son of Acnori Quill, and the Eight Element Dragon Slayer.”
“And I am Acnori Quill,” My dad started. “Father of Serena Quill, Brother to Mavis Vermillion and Zeref Dragneel. Mental houser of The Magic Dragon Slayer Acnologia Quill and I myself am the Time Dragon Slayer, Former King of all Dragons, and current Partner to Princess Luna.” Dad introduced himself.
“Now that formal introductions are out of the way and that the cereal is gone,” Edward said holding up the empty bowl. “Time for dessert,” he said as he started eating the empty bowl.
“Even I know that’s not normal,” I stared as the strange man finished eating his cereal bowl.
“What?” He stared back at us.
“Why the hell are you eating a bowl?” Dad asked. “I mean, I can eat magic but even I don’t eat fuggin’ bowls.”
“Needed to get a feel of the magic of the world and eating exotic stuff is how I do things,” Edward laughed. “Plus there is that look on your faces. Never gets old!” He held his sides. “Now back to business. What can I do for you Quill?” The alchemist sat back down at the table.
“Well… I actually need help with figuring out something.” Dad told Edward. “Within the time I’ve been here, the real Fairy Tail Zeref, Mavis, Serena, and Zirconis have ended up here. All of which had been killed by a Dragon Slayer. Serena and Zirconis had been killed by Acnologia, and Zeref and Mavis were inadvertently killed by Natsu Dragneel’s Dragon Magic. However, the Dragon that taught me my magic, Tyrrios, had also arrived here. And if you look out that window and into the Everfree forest, you can see the crater that I made killing the bastard. But what worries me is that… If Tyrrios arrived here… Who’s to say that other villains from Fairy Tail won't arrive here either? I need to find who or what’s been sending them here and I need to stop them.”
“There’s no doubt that more will come for sure,” Edward said nonchalantly. “And if you hand an issue beating the dragon then that just means you need to get strong. You’re a Displaced and what do we do if we’re given the chance at a new life?” He pointed at my dad.
“We take it and make the most of it.” Dad responded. “Also right before my fight with Tyrrios, I had my hair cut but as I went to fight him, it just regrew in like, two seconds. I thought that was weird but, it was probably just Acnologia doing weird shit.” Dad shrugged.
“Maybe,” Edward nodded. “So,” he looked at my dad straight in the eye. The carefree in gaze was gone and the man sitting across from us now was the one who first arrived here. “In order to live the life you want to live here what do you want?”
“Really?” Dad wondered. “In all honesty, all I want is to live peacefully with my new family, but the bitch that we all know called fate, has other plans, and as long as evil and danger are out there in my world… I will protect my loved ones, and I will protect the innocent.” Dad stated. “Plus, I’ve also got to train Serena to use his magic. But also… Me and Acnologia have got to figure out what Tyrrios wanted with Rainbow Dash.” Dad told Edward. “When I fought Tyrrios it seemed as if his magic wasn’t at full blast like there was a seal or a level cap on it. I originally thought it was because of the Everfree’s ability to absorb and dampen magic, but I realized that the Everfree only absorbs, Equestrian Magic, and seeing as Tyrrios was using Fioren Dragon Magic, it wasn’t the Everfree. But as soon as I saw Rainbow bleeding, it seemed as if Tyrrios’ magic was rising, like the seal was being broken.” Dad explained. “And if I’m right, then The Main Six are stronger than we all thought,” Dad told Edward seriously. I’ve never seen my dad this serious before, not even in Fiore was he ever this serious.
“Naturally my young friend. They’re more in tune with this lands magic as they are the physical representation of the Elements of Harmony,” Edward explained. “Eventually they’ll be able to tap into this land’s without needing to use their elements. I’ve heard in some realities that all six eventually ascend to alicornism. But back to Tyrrios. Whenever one crosses the void from anywhere they're usually left in a weakened state due to the effect of the travel. This is true for us Displaced as well. Only those amongst us that have evolved to Void Dwellers or like me that have amassed enough power don’t feel this fatigue. It makes sense that Tyrrios would go after Rainbow Dash is trying to regain his lost power by going oater the nearest source of magic for an ample supply to recharge. Foiran magic and Equestrian magic aren’t all that fundamentally different at the base level. I should know I help Lex develop Dragon Slayer Magic when there was none in her world.”
“Well, that's the thing… When I noticed Tyrrios’ seal, it didn’t feel… Normal. It didn’t feel like it was Fioren, Equestrian, nor Void like. It felt… For lack of a better term, it felt like there was a weakness in his blood. Not in his magic and he didn’t have any fatigue when fighting me as he broke several of my ribs.” Dad told Edward, showing him the bandages. “I didn’t even feel Equestrian magic for the entire duration of our fight, instead I felt… I felt a different type of magic. Like when the FACE was being activated in Fiore with the battle against the dark guild Tartarus, but even then, this was completely different.” Dad told Edward. “It felt more like a plague, was trapped within Tyrrios, and if allowed to be set free, it would take over all of Equiss like the flood from Halo, or rather… something like a virus, and if I’m correct, I’m the cure. Though I don’t think the Elements were involved with Tyrrios wanting Rainbow, I think he just wanted her blood. For what I can’t tell but it must be for something bad. Though Tyrrios won’t be doing much of anything anymore as he is now just a Hiroshima nuclear shadow on the ground.” Dad explained to Edward.
“Pestilence. Hmm…” Edward rubbed his chin. “Could be he wanted to take out Rainbow or infect her with this virus. Pawns are often undervalued in most chess games due to people thinking they have no value other than to be fodder or shields for the royals but that isn’t true,” he explained as he got to his feet. “The thing about a pawn is its promotion to become royalty once it reaches the other side of the board. There is most definitely something else going on here Quill. What it is I can’t say but I can say you’ll have to figure this out.” Edward paced back and forth for a minute. “I wish I could help but without more to go on, I'm just as dead in the water as you are my friend. But I can help you in another way,” he smirked as he points at dad and me.
Dad gave Edward a smirk in response and at this point, I asked: “Help my dad, how?”
“I’m an inter-dimensional Mage with a vast knowledge of your own magic and many others under my belt kid,” Edward placed a hand on his chest. “Not to mention alchemy, weapons, Combat armed and unarmed, and many other skills I’ve acquired over the last fifteen thousand years I’ve been alive. You do the math for a minute?”
“Well… That is impressive, and I don’t doubt your skills. So, I’m gonna ask if you could help me and Acnologia fuse our magic in order to successfully use our Apocalypse Magic. Also, I haven’t unlocked our Dragon Force and our Dragon Form is still locked away. Only yesterday, I unlocked my Time Dragon Secret Art, called Mayan Calendar Devastator.” Dad told Edward.
“I can give you a key but whether you two use it is up to you,” Edward said in his own seriousness. “Just know on you start learning this skill there is stopping your training and it will be very grueling as you must learn to advance skills then combine them into one that every time you use it that you put your very life on the line. Even for minor things.” I looked into this man’s eyes, eyes that could switch between happy and joke to serious in a seconds notice but as I stared all I saw was and empty darkness in a sea of gold. “Are you willing to go through hell to protect your home, Acnori Quill?” He pointed at my father no light in his eyes at all.
“Yes…” Dad told Edward with determination and conviction.
“Very well,” Edward said as he walked in front of dad and clapped his hands together. “You will know Truth Quill and be prepared as it is a monster amongst monsters,” He pulled his hands apart red electric currents very flowing from his fingers. Edward then placed his hands on my father and they both vanished in a storm of lightning and shadows.
Quill POV
As I passed through the portal, I could feel the magical molecules in my body, be forcefully ripped apart, and reassembled several times over, and I could hear Acnologia screech in pain.
“SON OF A BITCH!!!!” I screamed as my left eye slit and turned into a draconic eye.
I roared in pain as a burning sensation ripped through the right side of my face, my torso and my leg. Strained scrapes against bone burned through my ears as pain seared into my limbs. After minutes of this pain, it began to finally subside. Before a pain ripped through my lower back, and my mind fogged in pain. Then it finally finished and the pain left me sore.
“Son of a Nut that hurt,” I complained.
“Oh a visitor,” came a voice from in front of me. “Do tell Acnori Quill. How did you get here and why are you here?” I looked up to see the form of a white silhouette with dust coming off it. It had no feature but that of a wide toothy grin as it appeared to look down on me.
“Back off Truth. I brought him here,” Edward appeared next to me. “You okay Quill?”
“Well other than feeling like my bones ripped each other apart and stitched themselves back together with tape, I’m fine.” I retorted as my voice resonated with two different vocal cords. “And I have a question… Why the hell do I sound like both Acnologia and Quill?” I asked before raising my hand to soothe my shrilling headache, and realizing that my hand was now a dragon claw. I yelp and jump back in surprise. “What the Nut happened!?!?”
“Truth happened,” Truth snickered at my reaction. “You must be what you really are in my domain Dragon of The Apocalypse. Now you want the first half of Edward’s teachings, do you not?” This wicked being stared at me with an eyeless face and a wide grin.
I look at Truth with determination and a draconic smile and I laugh darkly: “Let’s fucking do this.” I cackle insanely.
“Oh so naive little dragon,” Truth put on a cute pout pose. “What will you pay for the power of Alchemy? Equivalent exchange is the rule here. To gain you must give. Pay the toll.”
“I told you it was an ass,” Edward rolled his eyes.
“Well…” I smile lightly. “I’ve already given it up once so… I’ll give up my humanity.” I tell Truth with a light, but sorrowfully nostalgic smile.
“Tsk tsk. So sorry young one but you can’t pay with something you never had in the first place,” Truth chuckled.
“Fair point.” I smile. “But, I’ll give up my left arm,” I tell Truth.
“The payment is set,” The Truth smirked as it held up its left arm and my own arm was then deconstructed and it appeared on the Truth. “I do hope you don’t die of blood on the other side and that you send me more of your world.” The evil Void Dweller smirked at me as it floated out of the way to reveal a giant marble door.
“Well, in my life before being a Displaced… Heh… I had already gotten my left arm from the elbow down ripped off the hard way. And it had to heal naturally, so I expect as much pain. Just hope this time, my Draconic healing will kick in this time.”
“Are you gonna go through your door or not,” Edward said as he was now sitting on my head. “You won’t have the alchemical knowledge and know-how until you do.” He looked at the Truth in disgust. “I hate being here with that thing so… Can we please go?”
“Well, let’s go.” I smile as I walk to the door with Edward still on my head.
“Just let your mind go blank and your body go numb Quill,” Edward advised as we went through my portal.
I walk over to the marble door and see its true form. Its color is navy blue, and it has black and gold accents, and several markings similar to the ones that covered my body also littered the door, with the same illuminating light. I press my right hand onto the door and lightly push, to which the door responds by opening inwards with a phasing slam. I smile and look down at my now armless left shoulder.
“To protect you all,” I whisper to myself.
I then step through the blinding light to enter the next phase of my training. I woke up in the kitchen back in human form with Edward kneeling down at my left. I tried to sit up only to fall on my back. I then felt a sharp pain on my left side and I Looked down to see my new stub. It was tingling with a bet of electricity coming off of it.
“There ya go,” Edward said standing up and then helping me to my feet.
“Well,” I started while wincing at the sting of losing an arm. “At least my dragon healing worked this time.” I chuckled while trying to ignore the continuing sting.
“This is going to cause a problem,” Edward point at my missing left arm. “You’ll need a new arm if you’re going to move on to the next face of your training.”
“I figured as much…” I sighed, before smelling something. “Is that… Metal?”
“Yea why?” Edward raised an eyebrow as he rolled up his right sleeve to reveal an advanced technological arm. “Not your standard automail anymore. Is this what you smelt?”
“Yeah, though I don’t know how I didn’t smell it before,” I told him, before looking at Serena. “Hey, could you go and tell the others that me and Edward are training?” I asked, receiving a nod followed by Serena taking my cloak off and handing it to me. He then ran out of the kitchen to go tell Zirconis and Luna. “Well, what now?” I asked Edward while placing my cloak back around my body, hiding my now missing left arm.
“First things first, you need a new temporary arm before we can even start your next lesson,” Edward remarked as he moved over to a nearby counter. “First I’ll need a few raw materials,” as he said this a spell matrix formed over his hand. He moved his hand across the counter and random materials appeared below it. “Alright,” Edward cracked his knuckles, “Time to get creative.” He held up his right hand and it changed to have many different tools coming from it. The alchemist began to cobble, shape, cut, and form the materials he’d created a few seconds ago. “All done.” He held up a silver metal draconian looking left arm. “I made this from magi-steel to allow magic to flow through it naturally. I sure you’ll get your own arm down the line somewhere but for now, you’ll be using this.” Edward tossed me the arm. “It nearly unbreakable but not nearly as sturdy as my own.”
“Thanks,” I told him while placing it onto the stump of my left arm. It was a perfect fit, and I could feel my nerves attaching themselves to it. After seconds of the process, the arm began to change, its color went from silver to pitch-black with navy-blue draconic markings on it, in the same pattern as my old arm. “Heh, guess my magic took to it well,” I responded clenching the metallic fist to get used to the feeling.
“Good. Now, is there someplace to go where no one would care about mindless violence?” Edward asked outright.
“Well, I suppose that we could use the crater Tyrrios and I fought in. It’s completely devoid of life, as anything that tries to get near it will likely fall into a coma due to the overwhelming amount of Time Magic.” I tell him pointing to the crater.
“Perfect!” He chimed and then snapped his fingers and in an instant, we were in the middle of the crater. “Uff, you weren’t kidding about the time magic. Smells like rank Minotaur crap in here. One moment,” Edward held up his hand and a light began to form in it. Soon the light grew brighter and then died down into a dark blue glow. I looked at the alchemist’s hand and there hovered a strange crystal that radiated with my time magic. I then noticed that air was cleansed from the previous battles magic. “Here you go. And do try and not expelling all of this or you could seriously poison the area.” Edward tossed me the crystal.
“No promises and I was going to point out that about two feet behind you is what remains of Tyrrios,” I told Edward while taking a bite out of the crystal and feeling my magic reenter my body. “And I’m sorry about the magical poisoning but I did basically create a magical nuke.”
“Fine,” he turned around to look at the remains. “First lesson! Think fast!” Edward made a quick turn and in the blink of an eye, he was above me. He brought down his left leg hard. I managed to block but it still sent a shock through my body. I knew if his arm was metal that his leg had to be as well but he shouldn’t be able to move that fast. “Come on Quill think. Use the knowledge in that thick dragon skull of yours.”
I smiled wickedly and with lightning speed, it seemed as if I phased out of reality, but I reappeared next to Edward and grabbed his face with my new left arm, slamming him into the ground causing spiderweb cracks to surround his head with rubble and rocks flying everywhere as a result.
“How’s that for fast?” I asked him still wearing that devilish smile.
“Fast yes but not the reaction I meant for you to have,” Edward smirked as he looked at me. I heard a clap and was forced back by a block of earth that shot up hitting me dead in the face. “I want you to use your alchemy dragon boy, “ he said sitting up.
“Well,” I say, crushing the stone. “I am kinda tricky for the Time Dragon Slayer,” I smirk as the air in front of my chest condenses. “Hehe.” I laugh as I grab the condensed air.
As I grab the air, it quickly morphs into an ethereal-like blade. I run at Edward with blinding speed, and I slam the blade into Edward’s side. Catching him off guard and throwing him away, while also cutting his jacket.
“You ruined my coat,” he said throwing of the red coat. “Swords is it,” he held up his right arm and it opened to allow a hilt of some kind out. Edward hit a switch on the hilt and out shot a black katana shaped blade with a red outline along the edge. He took up a stance and placed the weapon in front of himself. “How familiar are you with Star Wars lore?” He smirked as he charged forward and quickly struck in an unusual pattern. He was keeping me on the defensive.
I smile slightly: “Star Wars? Boy did you pick the wrong nerd to mess with…” I mumbled before leaping back and quickly focusing magic into my arms. “Temporal Dragon Blades!” I yell as lightsaber like swords extend from both my hands, both burning with magic. “Let’s go, Darth Edward!” I joke, charging at him.
“Remember when I said I have a niece who is a Fairy Tail Displaced,” he smirked. I don’t like that look in his eye. “Crimson Dragon Roar!” He roared and a tempest of red dragon magic came for me. “Don’t try and eat it either as you will be severely hurt,” I heard from right next to me.
I smile before stopping and looking directly at the oncoming magic. I just smile, and just like Natsu, I position my hands in a circular motion, and as soon as it’s about to hit me, I swipe my hands apart. I then take what remains of the crystal made from my magic and smash it in my hands. I start condensing it into a small sphere. I hold out my left arm and grab the pulsating sphere, causing my left arm to ignite into Temporal fire, resulting in me lunging past Edward. I then touch the ground and send the magic into it.
“TIME QUAKE!” I scream out, sending millions of massive vibrations from my arm into the ground, causing Edward to stumble momentarily.
“Are you nuts!” He yelled in anger. “You can use that with the populace so close, Nule Field!” Edward slapped the ground canceling out the quake. “You’re getting too caught up in this fight kid. Think before you use your powers. You won’t be using any more of your magic either as my Nule Field cancels all magic. What the hell were you thinking using that sort of move?”
Edward pauses for a second, as he’s seeing something wrong with me. Because something is going very wrong: “Damn! IT! Acnologia! WHAT THE HELL!?!?? GAHH!!!” I scream in pain as my eye starts bleeding. Acnologia’s magic is going rampant, and I wasn’t in control.
“I wIlL hAvE tHiS bOdY!!” A voice screeched.
My eyes widen to dinner plates: “N-No, y-you’re dead, you died!!” I yell, before screaming in more pain. Holding my head in shrill terror. “GET OUT OF MY HEAD YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!!” I roar as my bleeding eye slits and blood flows into the iris of my eye and my magic begins to pulsate and defend against the invading magic.
“Ah, you must be the dead one from his earlier fight,” Edward rolled his eyes. “Sorry but I can’t have you screwing with my apprentice’s brain and you most definitely can’t have his body,” I managed to make out Edward walking over to me and then he thrust his hand into my chest. I felt more pain than ever before as red electricity burst forth from the alchemist’s hand into my body. In the next moment, I was on the ground and Edward was standing above me with a blood-red glowing stone hovering above his palm.
I stared at him and looked mainly at the blood-red stone: “Sorry… About, well… Y’know, using Time Quake to that extent. I meant for it to only affect you and the small radius around you and not… Create an actual earthquake.” I apologized shamefully, looking down at the ground. I then noticed blood dripping from my left cheek. I raised my hand and lightly touched under my eye, and pulled the arm back to see blackening blood, laying almost completely dry on my hand. “Even in death, you manage to ruin my fucking day. Screw you Tyrrios. Screw. You.” I swore. Looking up into the sky I asked. “Acno, you there?” Waiting for a reply I heard. “Y-Yup! All fucking dandy!” Acnologia’s swearing could be heard in my head. “Just went in and barely survived a fight with a mutated Tyrrios who looked triggered as hell, but other than that, I think I’ll live. Good thing Edward helped us, or I don’t think we would’ve made it out alive. Or one of us anyway.” He told me, as I could hear his relieved breathing. I let out an ashamed sigh. “Damn it. Tyrrios was still kicking and had mutated? Something is definitely wrong.” I mumbled before falling flat on my back.
“He’d just keep coming back if I hadn’t turned the bastard’s soul into a Philosopher’s Stone,” Edward said holding out the stone to me in his hand. “What do you want to with it?”
“Hell if I know, but this does present an opportunity.” I pointed out. “Acnologia tells me that Tyrrios had somehow mutated into something… brutal is all he says about it. Don’t know the specifics but it was gruesome. If we can basically dissect Tyrrios, then we might be able to figure out why Tyrrios wanted Rainbow’s blood. And we might figure out what the hell mutated him.” I suggested. “Just try and keep the thing away from me for right now… I don’t think Acno’s going to be able to use his magic too much, but I might be able to go for a bit. Though I might need more practice with Alchemy, I mean, the only real bit of Alchemy I did in the fight was to create that wind blade from the air particles around me. Even then I don’t think that was true Alchemy.”
Edward placed the stone in some form of pocket dimension. “Why do you think I activated my Nule Field. To get you to use alchemy. Let me ask you this, what is the first rule of Alchemy?”
“Equal trade. If you want something of value, you’ve got to give something of equal value. Like say if I wanted to make a scarf, I’d have to sacrifice something with the same value of the scarf, most likely I’d have to give up the base elements that makeup, said scarf.” I answer.
“Yes, a Philosopher Stone is the only thing that can bypass this in the original concept of this law,” Edward held up his hand and red electricity spark and a sword form from it. “Being a living stone I could always bypass this law but I never used it unless I had to. Red lightning magic and Arc of Creation give off the same effect as using the stone in my body.” He tossed the sword to me. “See what can change the sword into and try and add details to what you make. Remember alchemy requires a circle but those who have seen Truth are the circle.” He pointed at me.
“Hmm…” I think carefully about the sword I held. My mind drifts to Time Magic and other mythologies. Then, I get an idea. “Perfect!!” I exclaim as I get to work. “Okay so…” I mumble as I begin to gather supplies. After several minutes I finally got what I need. “Let’s do this.” I pop my neck bones.
I kneel down and place my metal arm on the sword, which is surrounded by different materials. I focus my mind and think of one simple thing. The supplies and sword begin to glow and once they are engulfed in white light the shape begins to shift and swirl into an amalgamation, before snapping into a different form. The once short hilt of the sword was now a long staff-like shape, and a circular-like blade hung from the top of the handle. The light then faded and what was once a sword, was now a scythe. Its handle was pitch-black and the blade had draconic markings on it. I smiled at my work and picked the scythe up before looking back at Edward.
“Nice work but it’s missing something,” he said as he walked over to me. I noticed that he was pulling his hands up. There appeared to be what looked like strings coming from his fingertips. I then felt a tugging coming from my, everywhere. Then it’s was as part of my very self was pulled from me. I saw black energy floating towards Edward and as it did it began to solidify slightly. “Let me see that scythe,” he held up his hand. I handed him the weapon and he began to take the energy he took from my body and using the same threads he wove the energy into the scythe. “Here you go,” Edward floated the scythe back to me it was different though, it felt as if the scythe was apart of me.
“This feels… Right.” I mumbled aloud. “I wonder if the modification I thought of worked,” I asked to no one, which interested Edward. I smiled and spun the scythe in a circular motion, and suddenly stopped it but part of the blade didn’t and stopped when it reached the opposite of the top blade. I was now holding a dual-sided scythe. Like a staff, I set it next to me, and the height on this thing was ridiculous. It was almost twice my height.
“Nice addition and if you’re wondering what I did to the weapon,” Edward held up his right arm and it opens to reveal many different glowing crystals. “I bonded it with your void energy so no one but you can use it, not even Acno can use it. Think of it as an extension of yourself and your magic.” He points to his open arm. “I used a similar technique to create these, there called Sage Stone. Think of them as the magic equivalent of the Philosopher's Stone. Though, these are made from singular elements ranging from fire and to even time.” Edward closed his arm. “Any questions?”
“Not really, but I do have one,” I tell Edward while retracting the bottom blade of my scythe. “Can the Sage Stones use Apocalypse Magic or just Raw Magic?”
“Raw magic is the only stone you’ll ever be able to make Quill,” Edward said with a bit of reserve. “I’m trusting you not to abuse these skills, Quill. Just by making the first Stone in my own world sparked a war with the Minotaurs. I can make you an Apocalypse Stone but only if you promise to use for justice and the protection of those close to you.”
“Edward, I’m not asking you because I want to use them, I’m asking you because they’ll likely help with keeping my magic over Time, Acnologia’s magic over Raw Magic, and out combined magic over The Apocalypse,” I tell him as my hair overshadows my eyes. “I want you to promise me something. If ever we lose control over our magic, especially Apocalypse, then I want you to kill me. Erase my existence.”
Edward smirked. “Nnanhaha!” I then felt a metal fist in my face. “Idiot, you’re so scared of your power that you already resigned yourself to death. No, only if I'm absolutely certain that you can’t do it will I wipe you from existence, got it.”
I spit out a bit of dirt that landed in my mouth, before smiling lightly. “Understood, but I will lose control over most likely Apocalypse one of these days because as fate has established and made clearer than fucking crystals, History tends to repeat itself.” I chuckle.
“Mmm…” Edward looked at me. “Just so you know my Stones power only runs out of magic if there is no magic around it for it to absorb from the air around it and they’ll only break if they’re completely drained dry of their magic.” He turned toward the castle. “Catch,” he tossed me a Sage's Stone. “Let’s make or way back to the castle. I think your marefriend might be getting worried and you need a shower after rolling around in the dirt.”
“Sure,” I grinned. “Let’s go,” I said while getting up and placing the stone in my pocket. “By the way, I’ve got another question. What’s your favorite Star Wars Movie?” I ask. “Mine is the first movie. Episode one."
"Will I grew up watching the originals with my younger brother and you just can't beat the classics or Darth Vader," he remarked as he rubbed his chin. "I was in kindergarten when Episode One came out. Have to say my favorite character in that one had to be Qui Gonn Gin."
“Nice, but if I had to pick one, I’d say young Obi-Wan Kenobi, definitely because of that dual-wielding scene with the Light Sabers against Darth Maul.” I input.
“Jar’kai dual bladed wielding,” Edward said as he looked over his shoulder. “My master was much better in lightsaber combat than I am. Most of my training is substituted from my other sword techniques I’ve picked up over the years. I do have to say its important to learn several forms of combat and to have a few weapons that don’t solely rely on magic as well.”
“Ah, that’s the beauty of my scythe,” I tell him. “For you see, it channels my Time Magic in order to cut through it, allowing me to strike my enemy in frozen time. Y’know those moments with ninjas where they strike so fast, their opponent just falls apart? Well, my scythe, which I appropriately named Time Reaper, allows me to do that, but also puts a limit on my magic output, so I don’t poison the area with Time Magic. Other than that it’s just a normal scythe.” I tell him.
“Tell me this Quill,” He turned to face me. “What will you do when you can’t use any magic at all.” he reached into his pocket space and pulled out a large crystal claymore. “This is a trophy from the Minos Wars. The king had it made to specifically take on Tia and Luna. This sword nullifies magic completely.” He tossed it to me. I caught the weapon and if it wasn’t for dragonic strength then I wouldn’t have been able to lift it.
“Well, for one, I wouldn’t just give up.” I answer. “I’ll do what I did back on Earth when I never had Magic. Become unpredictable, because that’s my specialty. Unpredictability was what got me through tough times back home and so far, it hasn’t failed me.” I respond.
“Good Answer,” He said as the sword returned to where it came from. We soon arrive back at the castle. “How’s your standing with Celestia anyway?”
"We're good friends, and I've helped her with Day Court but when you arrived I had left Day Court because there was a particularly bad Pegasus who just really pissed me off. Duchess Ruby, a bitch with a major pegasi superiority complex. Gave me a headache." I explained.
“Superiority complex,” I nodded. “I hate ones like that. But it’s good to know you’re friends with the Celestia here but keep in mind that the devil was once an angel my friend. I know she’s friendly but Celestia has her fair share of secrets too.” We wandered around the halls. “This place is similar to my own but there are major differences in it. What do we do now? This is your world so I’m not about to muscle in on anything.”
"Oh I know, actually I was there when Luna was freed from Nightmare Moon. Apparently, they made a mural of me with the Main Six fighting Nightmare." I told him.
“Mmm…” Edward stayed silent. He was giving off an air of resentment. “I was still in stone when Tia sealed Luna on the moon. Half insane too. I had to watch her slowly circum to her darkness then watch her while she was on the moon. Sealed away by someone I thought was a friend by alchemagic that I taught to them.” He said with an insane looking smile as he grasped his face.
"..." I stayed silent before looking at him. "Well… You're not in stone anymore nor are you alone now, are you? Just focus on the better memories, and the present, not the past." I place my hand on his shoulder.
“Right,” he said taking in a deep breath and straightening himself up. “I’ll let you lead the way. Oh, I know. Can we go see Mavis and Zeref? Maybe meet up with your kid, girl, and dragon fellow from earlier?”
"Well, you'll actually be surprised to find that Gilda and her daughter are currently staying at our place." I then remember something. "Oh, also," I pull out my wallet. "Watch this!" I opened my wallet and reached my arm down to the elbow inside it. "Wallet dimension!" I joke. "Anyway, it's almost time for… lunch I believe, and I'm cooking, so what'd you like?" I ask putting my wallet away.
“Surprise me, food is actually more of a luxury for me than a necessity due to my body. And nice to know Gilda has a kid here too. She has a son around seven in my world,” Edward followed me. “And the wallet dimension is a new one for me too. I usually put my stuff in my endless carry bag. My weapons are stored in my Gate of Aries or their own separate dimensions with the exception of my lightsaber.”
"Well, believe it or not, the wallet was a courtesy of The Merchant. The guy who sent both of us here." I tell him. "So was my house and several of my clothes. For a void dweller he's kinda nice. Well, for someone who sends someone most of the time against their will to a different universe.”
“You got one of the nice ones then,” he remarked. “Originally I could care less about the merchants but I’m glad I was sent to Eques. Never would met Faust, her husband, or Celestia and Luna. Never would’ve had my twins if it wasn’t for them. Just be wary of them. Some are nice enough but there's a time when they’ll stop giving you stuff. Usually, it’s when they see you more than will off in your world.”
“That time’s probably already passed, but hey… Least he gave me a loaded fridge.” I point out while shrugging.
“How about we get your crew and head to your house for BBQ,” he commented. “I’ll take care of getting us there. Sound good to you?”
“I’m good with that.” I tell him before getting dead serious. “But I’m cooking.” I threaten.
“I’m a mage, Sage! Scientist doctor etc. But one thing I don’t do is step in someone else’s kitchen. Especially when it’s a man cooking for his friends,” he chuckled. “Trust me, Zebras teach you this the hard way.”
“Oh, I don’t mean it like that, I’m warning you to not even go close to the kitchen while I’m cooking, because I go full Gordon Ramsey, and I roast the ass off of anyone who messes with my cooking. And if you mess up my cooking, then not even all that magical BS you got will save you from my wrath.” I tell him while piercing his soul with my chef gaze.
“Never shoot that gaze at a Louisiana man. We know cooking!” He said give back me stare tenfold.
“Well good to know, because I’ve only been to the Americas once! And that time I went to a convention when I got Displaced, cause I’m Japanese, BOI!!!” I shoot back intensifying my stare even greater.
Edward and I merely stood there and continue to stare at each other. Neither one of us was going to cave to other’s gaze but if were an actually contest than I probably could’ve held out until the end of the day. Then from around the corner came Serena, Luna, and Zirconis roused the corner down the hall.
"Where were you two?!" Luna yelled at me, galloping over to check if I was hurt. She then noticed my now metal left arm. "Quill!!" She gasped. "Your arm! What did you do?!?!?!!!" She screamed at Edward.
“Back off there princess,” Edward held his own metal hand up to Luna’s face. “I did nothing but open his portal. It was Quill that made the payment for the knowledge and power of alchemy to Truth with his left arm. I merely created a simple draconic themed prosthetic to replace it for the time being. The man knew what he was doing and asking for.” Luna began to light her horn. “Go ahead and blast me if it makes you feel better but know you can’t kill me or even come close to me in terms of power little pony!” Edward shrugged. Luna blast the man straight in the chest. We waited to see what was left once the dust cleared and stand there with a hole straight through him was Edward. Red lightning cackled and his wound quickly closed up. “Like I said you can’t kill me.. Even your midnight form would be enough to keep up with me. Heck even Celestia can’t keep up with me anymore.. He chuckled. “Who’s hungry?”
I place my hand on Luna’s neck and run my fingers through her mane. She looks up at me with worried eyes and I lightly press my lips against her forehead. “Don’t worry Luna. What he’s saying is true, I did give up my left arm so I could learn Alchemy, but it was to better protect you and the rest of my family. Being brought to Equestria I had lost a family, but by meeting you I gained a new one.” I tell her calming her down. “C’mon let’s go, I’m hungry and I’m cooking.” Stealthily gives Edward the Japanese chef glare.
“Enough with the staring already, geez,” Edward remarked as he fixed his clothes. “I already said I don’t mess around In another man’s kitchen. He snapped and we teleported to the main square of Ponyville. “I got us all to town you lead the way to your house.“
I stop my stare and smile. "Right, follow me," I say while leading them through the town. I led them down the main path to a path that led to my house, a secluded place where nothing could harm us. And once we reached the front of my home I stopped and looked at it happily. "Here we are. My home." I told them.
“Quaint,” Edward said as he admired my house. “Reminds me of the house I built in Everfree when I first got back to Equestria from my travels around Eques.”
“Well, actually this house is exactly like the one I lived in, on Earth before becoming a Displaced. This is a gift from The Merchant, and he got it down to the last detail, plus it can restore itself. Like auto repair.” I explained, before walking up and opening the front door. “Zeref! Mavis! We’re home!” I yelled into the house. Then I hear heavy and fast footsteps getting louder and closer when sliding out of the hall is Mavis. She looks at me dead in the eyes. “Oh shit…” I brace myself. “You all might want to make a path.” I tell the others behind me, and they move to one side, out of the way. I hold a thumbs up and then I’m flying out of the house being tackled by my adopted little sister.
“QUILL!!!! YOU’RE OKAY!!!!” She screams hugging me tightly, as I lay flat on the ground, the wind knocked out of me.
“Yeah, Mavis… I’m fine…” I wheeze trying to regain my breath. “Did you have any cookies while I was gone?” I ask looking at her.
She then blushed in embarrassment. “I had maybe one, or two.” She mumbled.
“She had seventy-two, exactly. She was stress eating.” Zeref told me while standing in the door frame. “Good to see your okay Quill.” He smiles.
“The infamous duo of good and evil of Fairy Tail,” I hear Edward chuckle. “I see that you both no longer have your immortality. I wonder what caused that?”
“Actually, they do still have their immortality, it’s just their Ahnkseram death curse was destroyed. And by none other than the Goddess of Death herself. She’s also the one who sent Serena here and turned him into a child.” I told him while getting back up and dusting myself off.
“From the way she just tackled you I’d say she’s on one hell of a sugar rush or she has a crush on you,” Edward teased causing to go red in the face.
“I DON’T HAVE A CRUSH ON QUILL!” She yelled at the alchemist in anger. “Not when I’ve got Zeref.”
“Defensive for a half-pint ain’t she,” Edward chuckled. “And I find it odd how neither of you have asked me who I am or how I got here.”
“Yeah, I just figured that you got here through some weird-ass magic BS.” Zeref says. “After being here less than a week, and knowing the pony Pinkie Pie, I honestly don’t question the weird shit that happens in Equestria.” He chuckles loosely.
“Oh I like him,” Edward pointed at Zeref. “Any ways it’s nice to meet you both. My names Edward Elric the Full Metal alchemist. I’m a Displaced similar to Quill. I was sent to another version of Equestria over fifteen thousand years ago, but seeing as how time really his no meaning for the Displaced outside their native worlds so you can just write that last part off.”
“Did you break the fourth wall just now? Or am I just imagining that?” Quill mumbles. “Anyway, if you’re wondering what a Displaced is, we’re basically an infinite amount of people who go to a convention, and buy something from this Void Dweller called The Merchant, and whoever the person is dressed up as or whose stuff they buy, they’re sent to a different world, or alternate version of Equestria and become that character. In my case, I was originally Acnologia, but my Humanity was reincarnated on Earth and I bought Acnologia’s necklace from him and was sent here. You all know the rest.” I summarize explain it to Zeref and Mavis.
“Should’ve figured. But that is interesting though. Eh, weirder things have happened.” Zeref shrugs. He then notices my left arm. “And I’m guessing you had a part in Quill’s left arm?” He asked Edward. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it to get more power to better protect us.” He grumbled.
“I merely opened the door for him,” Edward shrugged. “But you’re pretty much spot on. He’s got a pretty decent head on his shoulders and a good handle on his alchemy but not quite good enough to start the next phase of his training.”
"Well, hey… you can blame Tyrrios for what happened back in the crater." I point out to Edward. "But yeah. Though I'd like to spark with you sometime. No magic, and no alchemy. Just hand to hand." I grin.
“Mmhmmm…” Edward smirked. “I wouldn’t mind but we’ll have to go somewhere we could really cut loose. First, we need to eat though.”
“My thoughts exactly.” I smile wide.
I walk into the house and out the back porch, finding a grill. I didn’t know it was there becasue the last time I was out here it was pitch-black. I lift it up with my left arm and walk back out to the front, setting it down and calling for Gilda.
“Hey, Gilda! I’m back and I’m making BBQ!” I call to the Griffoness.
“Be right down! Just need to get Mali up!” She calls back. Several seconds later, and Gilda along with a tired Mali in her arms, walk down the stairs.
“Hey, Mali. Nice to see you under better circumstances. How are you doing? How’s your neck?” I ask bending over to meet Mali’s eyes.
“I-I’m doing better, and my neck still feels sore. Mr. Zeref says I shouldn’t talk too much.” Mali shyly responds, hiding her head bashfully in her mother’s feathers.
“That’s good. How’s Rainbow Dash?” I ask Gilda standing back up.
“She’s still unconscious, Zeref says she’ll be asleep for a few more days, but she’s getting better.” She tells me. “But I heard something about you cooking, and from what I hear Zeref and Mavis telling me about you, you’re one hell of a cook.” She grins, and we walk out of the house.
“How bad a Rainbows injuries?” Edward asked in curious tone. “I may be able to help if you want.”
“It’s fairly bad. Her wing was dislocated in several spots but thanks to Zirconis they were healed. Though she has a fever that just keeps getting worse. It’s not a magical illness though, it’s more like -,” Zeref explains before I cut him off.
“Pestilence?” I ask. Zeref nods. “Seems our Pestilence theory might be right Edward.” I cross my arms in front of my chest.
“Good thing I’m a scientist before a magician. If this a draconic illness we may have a big problem on our hands Quill,” Edward looked at me in the eyes. “I might not be able to treat her here. I can create lab equipment but I can only do it a piece at a time and even then if I want a new piece I can just make it on the fly if I’m in the middle of a procedure. Again if this is a draconic illness it could spread quickly if Dash isn’t treated right away. I know dragons usually stay away from ponies in most Equestrias but if this illness is easily transferred from dragon to pony so quickly, it could really be a big problem. There is Spike and his a dragon so if the virus needs a host to stay a live it’d be a safe bet he’d easily be infected but it doesn’t some that the illness is deadly to dragons. I wonder why?” He stroked his chin.
“Likely because this illness is different. If it’s not magical, then it’s probably something I’m more familiar with. Back on Earth, I used to be a Doctor, and in Fiore so was Acnologia. I could take a look, but I’d need a second opinion. Care to help Edward?” I look at him.
“Sure,” Edward nodded. “If there is any more medical treatment to her body that needs to be fixed I can use alchestry to heal the wounds.”
“Let’s go up.” I gesture for him to follow me.
Edward and I walk up the stairs and into the guest bedroom where an unconscious Rainbow Dash laid sweating heavily in the bed, tossing and turning. I walk over and check her temperature first. She was burning up rapidly, and my eyes widen as the temperature of the room was zero degrees fahrenheit. I look back to Edward and motion for him to check her pulse.
“This is close to an illness I’ve seen in Fiore during my time as a doctor. But I was the only doctor who knew about it, because it only happened once. This is husk virus. I don’t know the full details but Acnologia tells me the Husk Virus does exactly what the name says. It tries and takes over the host through their blood, effectively turning them into an emotionless husk of their former self. Though the last known case was during the Dragon Civil War. I’d have to freeze the virus itself and remove it, but it takes a while for the virus to take full effect. However, your Alchemy could help kill the virus. But… I don’t know if this virus had begun to root itself or not. If it has then we have a bad time ahead of us, if not, we could safely remove it with minimal damage.” I explain going into my ‘Doctor’ mode.
“Move over,” Edward pushed me out of the way and put one hand on Dash’s forehead and the other on her chest. His fingertips began to glow as he closed his eyes. “Mmm, mmhmm… ahh no this needs to be fixed. The virus is still in its larval stage but is developing rapidly, I’ll need my. Nanites for this operation. It’s the only way to safely purge the virus from her body without damaging it any further. She took one hell of a hit from that bastard dragon. There were still multiple fractures throughout her entire body. I’ve taken care of them but it would be best if you keep her grounded for at least a week after she wakes up.” He pulled his hands back and I noticed the same strings from earlier that he’d used to pull off a piece of my void energy. “What do you want to do Quill?”
"Well as you said, it'd be safer to use your nanites so I'll try to freeze the virus in time but you'll have to hurry, my magic is drained from fending off Tyrrios." I tell him holding my arms out and letting my time magic freeze Rainbow. "Now I know what that seal on Tyrrios was. Most times this virus doesn't affect Fioren dragons but in very rare cases, it causes them to mutate and go on a rampage. I've had the displeasure of facing multiple victims of this virus. But it only once affected a human. What I want to know is how Tyrrios became a carrier to this virus." I ramble on.
“I can’t tell you that Quill. I’ve never encountered this virus till now,” Edward said as he popped his mechanical arm open and pulls out a large syringe with what looked like glowing rainbow metallic slime. “These are harmony nanites that I developed with my master and my brother during the Cybertron Equestrian War. Long story shirt these little guys have harmony magic infused to their very structure,” he explained as he injected the machines into Rainbow Dash’s fore leg. “They’ll stay in her system fighting of the infection if we can’t nip it all but if we do I’ll ask her if she wants them removed after she wakes up.”
"Okay, if you're right, which you probably are, the nanites will help attack and locate the virus. And I can understand the Alchemy, but now you're telling me that you've got fucking Cybertronians in your world? Jeez. If anything the secondary theme I'll get here would be… Have you heard of the game called Warframe?" I ask.
“Warframe?” Edward tapped his chin. “Yea I’ve heard of it. It was a shooter game that came out earlier in the year that I was Displaced. I never played it as I don’t care for shooters.” He shrugged. “But back to your comment. I don’t have Cybertronians in my world. It was a war I was summoned into. That’s where I met my master and gained some of my powers and technology.” He suddenly got a huge smirk on his face. “That was a fun one. I remember making Shining Armor piss and shit all over the floor just from sheer terror.”
"Oh I wish I was there to see that. But I did scare the shit out of Blue Blood for waking me up." I tell him. "Also, I kicked Tyrrios right in the genitals when we fought. His face was hilarious to look at." I joke.
We noticed that Rainbow was starting to stir. “Your up dude. She’s your patient and friend. I simply an aid.” Edward pointed to the cyan Pegasus.
"Ugh, what the hay? What happened?" Rainbow rubbed her head with her hoof and she looked around to see me. "Quill? Where am I?" She asked.
"Rainbow, what's the last thing you remember? I ask her.
"I remember, going off to find Gilda but finding two dragons, one was trying to attack her. Is she okay!?" Rainbow yelled.
"She's fine Rainbow, but you were injured severely and me and my friend Edward had to remove a virus that would've likely killed you. You're okay now, but you'll have to stay grounded for at least a week." I explain.
"Grounded? For a week? That sucks!" She complains.
"Sorry, but Doctor's orders," I tell her. "Don't make me get Twilight on your ass." I threatened.
“Your incredibly lucky that one of the dragons that attacked you felt sorry for you and shielded you from the one who infected your butt,” Edward added as he leaned against the wall. “Why do all Dashes have to be thick headed.” He murmured. “And I highly recommend you not fly at all and stay with one of your friends Rainbow Dash. I fixed your fractures for the most part but your skeletal structure is pretty much glass at this point.”
“Hey! I’m not that thick-headed.” She argued.
“O Really? Then why did you accuse Zeref and Mavis of being spies the first time you met them?” I asked.
“How do you know about that?!” She screamed.
“... I didn’t until you just told me right now.” I tell her smugly. “But in all seriousness, you need to stay grounded. If you try to fly right now, it could shatter your nervous system, and you’d never be able to fly, walk or do anything else again. That virus did some serious damage to your bones.” I inform her, seeing her pale at the knowledge that she could never move again. “For now I suggest you stay in bed and rest. The nanites Edward injected into you to stop the virus are still working away at it. Just rest and let them do their work, okay?” I ask placing my hand on her shoulder.
“Alright.” She huffs. “I’ll stay here for the time being.” She tells me.
“Good. C’mon let’s get something to eat.” I tell her, helping her get out of the bed.
As Edward, Rainbow and myself walked downstairs, and outside, we’re met with Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Twilight, Pinkie and Spike talking with Luna and the others all with worried faces. When Spike notices us, he runs over to Rainbow and hugged her tightly.
“Rainbow! You’re okay! We were so worried about you!” Spike yells getting the other’s attention.
They all slowly rush over and check to see if Rainbow really was alright. I explain to them what had happened and when they heard the part about the virus they all gaped with shock and Spike paled and clung tightly to Twilight’s foreleg in fear.
“Don’t worry, Edward had a way to destroy the virus, but Rainbow’s skeletal structure was heavily damaged. She won’t be flying for at least a week, if not more.” I tell them.
“You guys need to keep an eye on her to keep her from even hovering. My machines will repair what they can but she’ll have to heal on her own too,” Edward commented causing everypony in the room to turn and stare at him. “Hello, names Edward Elric the Full Metal Alchemist.” He walked out of the room. “I’ll be on the couch.” He waved.
I gave out a sigh before looking at the Mane Six, who were staring shocked at my left arm. “Hmm? Oh, you’re confused about my arm. Well, I gave it up in order to learn Alchemy, so I could better protect you all from what might come. This virus might be one of several events that could lead to an extinction event or another Dragon Civil War, but unlike in Fiore, this one could be against the Equestrian Dragons. But that’s just me being paranoid. Let’s eat.” I tell them while getting the food on the grill and beginning to cook it. “Hey! Edward! If you want some food, you’d better come get it!” I chuckle. “If not then I’ll have your portion!” I taunt.
“What are you screaming about I was second in line right after the Pinkiepedo,” He chewed as he points to Pinkie Pie. “I never question how she pulls half the crap she does but you still have to wonder some,” Pinkie was about to speak up. “And if you say shortcuts then I won’t give a cupcake from my Pinkie,” She quickly went back to stuffing her face. “Any pony else have a question for the guy in red while he feels like answering them?”
“I have one.” Rarity says. “Who makes your clothes? The stitching looked well made! And sturdy.” She praises.
“I make all my clothing myself,” Edward said proudly. “But it’s not made from your everyday thread but gemstone fabric to enhance my elements magic. Originally, I only used it in my and my wife and partner’s armors but as the years went on there was less need for armor as there were fewer wars and battles so I upgrade it a thread form and woven the gems into threads and further into clothes. Only a select few individuals outside my family have a set of these clothes.” He explained then turned to Applejack. “Now the orange pony with the stetson on her head and apples on her butt.”
“Okay, I for one want to know exactly who you are. You say yer’ name is Edward Elric, and there is some truth to that, but there’s also something more yer’ not telling us.” She accuses. “What are you hiding?” She narrows her eyes.
“Only if Quill is okay with telling you girls the truth will I say it,” He crossed his arms in defiance.
“Fucking fine, you dick. Okay, so you know the multiverse theory?” I ask to which most of the girls nod. “Well the multiverse is a real thing, and I’m from a different world called Earth, but before that, I was the real Acnologia in Fiore but I was reincarnated on Earth when I bought this necklace from someone called The Merchant and I was sent here, and you know the rest.” I look back at Edward. “Good enough?” I ask, letting out an annoyed sigh.
“I never said you had to do it I just said I needed your permission is what I said,” Edward waved his finger in the air. “Like Quill said the multiverse is a thing. I’m basically the same as he is. We’re what you call a Dimensionally Misplaced or Displaced for short. We send out what are called token into the Void to be found by others like us. Quill summoned me here when I was on my way home. Next is the bookworm pony that can destroy a mountain with a single blast if she really wanted to,” He pointed at Twilight.
“Well, I want to know what your world is like.” She asked excitedly, her magic holding a notepad and a quill to write with.
“Not much difference from this one actually,” He shrugged. “I mean, I’m married to Luna and we have two of the cutest twins under the sky. We call them our Twin stars,” He gushed. “Celestia is my partner right after Luna. Oh, we do allow the practice of dark magic in my world. Faust is a Harmony Ninetails. My Twilight in my alchemy apprentice and she’s dating my descendent slash former personal guard Polearm.” He took a breath. “They’re raising the reincarnation of Nightmare Moon, an alicorn filly by the name of Nyx who is as cute as pie. And I have creatures called pokemon in my world. Not to mention I whipped Blueblood into shape from a sack of mush and priss into the next Guard captain right after Shining Armor. Anything else?”
“I have one,” I tell him. “What’s your real name? The one you had before becoming Edward, and when you were Displaced.” I ask.
“Getting kind of personal there Quill,” Edward stood up. “If I tell you depends on your answer. Why do you want to know and why should I tell you?”
“Because I’m hiding a personal secret too,” I tell him. “My older brother went missing at a BlizzCon a long time ago and I was wondering if you’ve heard his name.” I respond. “We’re not really brothers, but he did have a hand in taking care of me when my parents died. His friends who I consider brothers too also disappeared at different times and I’m worried about them.” I explain.
“Sounds like a gamer type Displaced,” He rubbed his chin. “There was a Reinhardt I looked in on using my Rinnegan not too long ago. That could be him. He’s not too old of a Displaced based off his worlds Void Signature. If he finds my token and he is your brother then you can use the watches to video chat with each other. It’s what I do with my family. I spent some time in my long lost little brother’s world not too long ago after he summoned me before I came here. But to answer your question, my old name was Allen Ferris I was Displaced in August 2013 at my home town local Comic-Con be the Name of Geek Con. Sorry, but I’ve probably never come across your older brother or his friends.” he sat back down and continued eats. “Next question.”
“Well, just letting you know, my brother’s name is William Lancer, but I was Displaced November 2019.” I tell him. ‘I was right. He is The Golden Eyed Sage.’ I think looking at Edward “I have one more. This other Fioren mage you met. What’s their name? And what’s their token? If I find it I’d love to meet them.” I tell him.
He reached into his satchel and pulled out a crystal pendant with the Fairy Tail emblem on it. “Her name is Alexandria Justine, Faekage of the Fairy Tail Equestrian Branch. She goes by Lex.” He pulled out a picture with several colorful characters in it, several I can guess are Displaced. “My extended family. The Levy Displaced with the gold streaks in her hair is Lex.”
“... I’m gonna go ahead and guess that if she met me, she might try and attack me because I look exactly like the main villain of the Fairy Tail anime who just so happened to murder almost all of the Fioren Dragons.” I say looking at the image.
“Hmm… as long as your creed is descriptive enough or you some her then I don’t see why she would. You can also call her via the watch,” he pointed to the token in my pocket. “That thing also acts as a small item delivery system as long as the item is no bigger than a broadsword.”
“Damn, so your token essentially acts as a phone in the form of a watch.” I summarize. “All my token is, is a necklace. Plus my creed does say that I’d kill anyone who summons me for evil. So, I might be okay if I met her, though I’m not taking any chances, if I get summoned there by her, then I’m bringing Mavis and Zeref with me. I don’t want to be dying yet.” I tell him. “By the way,” I say taking off my necklace. “Here,” I say tossing Edward my token, and another necklace reforms around my neck. “There’s my token.”
“Thanks,” He places it in his bag. “I’ll put it on my wall with the rest of my tokens once I get back home. Right next to my Hyperbolic Chamber in my lab.” he cracked his neck and stood up again. “Good lunch break,” he pulled out his own watch and popped it open. “Luna,” he said into the watch. The arms began to spin wildly and then a holographic display appeared coming from the face of the watch. On the screen, I saw a human woman with a dark blue horn and wings with astral midnight hair.
“Edward where are you? Its been at least a week since you were summoned,” She squinted at Edward who reluctantly scratcher his head. “I got lost the first time then summoned by my little brother and lost again and then just as I made it back was summoned yet again. But enough of that, how are my little ones?”
“They’re asleep, Tia and I just put them down for the night,” Luna huffed. She then noticed the other Luna. “Full ponies this time. Hurry with your business there, please. The classes are extremely hard to teach and the court is backing up. I never realized how much we relied on your clones. Do be careful and please hurry.”
“Will do Luna,” He smiled. “Tell Tia I love her. Give the twins a kiss good night and tell Faust if she’d been in my Dragon Ale I’ll bury her again.” She smirked and waved goodbye and then Edward closed his watch. He turned to see everyone staring at him. “What?”
“At least I know how the watch works now,” I mumbled.
“Dude? Really? You called your wife in the middle of lunch?” Rainbow asked trying to suppress her laughter.
“Well excuse me for loving my wife and wanting to touch base with her. And you should try teaching a Dark Magic School, help run a nation, and raise two foals all at the same time,” He scowled at the pegasus who shrank back a bit in her seat. “All of you really have no idea how hard your Princesses’ jobs are. I know you’ve, faced a trial but still try and put yourselves in their shoes. Poor Luna has been back barely a week and she’s already mastered current speech which is a record if you ask me. Then she nearly loses Quill. You ponies can be really incentive at the best moments ya know.”
“Well, I can imagine your pain buddy. I’m a teacher at Cheerilie’s school and I teach Fioren Magical Theory, and P.E. Plus I’ve got Mavis to take care of, and she’s a hell of a handful to deal with. Especially after she ate an entire jar of cookies, when I said she could only have one.” I told him looking at Mavis who blushed in embarrassment. “On top of that, I still have to raise Serena, and look after my friends and family, which trust me, in this Universe, is much harder than you’d think. For one, the Husk Virus, two Fairy Tail characters are appearing from Fiore, and who knows, maybe Fiore itself will appear next? That’ll be fun, especially when Natsu, and Gajeel try and beat the shit out of me.” I rant. “Anyway, I’m done eating and I’m pretty sure I saw some Badlands past the Everfree, so we could brawl there.” I smile. “Should we have an audience?” I ask him.
“I don’t mind an audience but I have a better place if you don’t mind?” Edward smirked as he placed his metal arm on the table and leaned in. The girls drew back a bit at the site of this.
“I’m down,” I responded with a devilish smile. “Where do you have in mind?” I ask cracking my non-metal hand’s knuckles. “Oh and by the way, no weapons, magic, or alchemy. Just a good ol’ fashion hand to hand battle.” I tell him.
“Fine with me and,” He smirked and snapped his fingers and then there was a loud crash that came from outside. “What audience members did you want to bring along beside everyone present here?” He asked as he bade us to follow him out the front door.
“How about the ones present, along with Celestia, Cadence and Shinning?” I ask. “They wouldn’t want to miss a good show. Plus… It’d be good for me to finally let my beast loose. I haven’t let him out for a while. And he’s itching for a fight.” I say while I loosen my muscles.
“Good good,” Edward remarked as we came onto the front lawn. The was a huge marble gate with double doors on my lawn. He snapped again and Celestia, Cadance and Shining Armor appeared next to us. The merely stared at everyone. “We’re going on a trip to my world. That way you don’t have to worry about clean up, I get to go home, and I don’t have to worry about destroying anything here. Sound good to you guys?”
“I’m fine with this,” I say before whispering. “Plus it brings me one step closer to getting Zeref, Mavis, Serena and Zirconis weapons of their own.” I chuckle. “And hey, technically I’m being summoned through this too.” I point out. “Oh, and when you said “We’re going on a trip,” My mind immediately went to, We’re goin’ on a trip in our favorite rocket ship!” I sing before laughing.
“Let me correct you and something Quill. You’re not being summoned but traveling to my world,” Edward explained. “The difference being that you’re not under any form of contract like when summoned. So I can’t send you back by saying “Our Business is done..” You can stay in my world as long as you like and with my new barrier up I don’t have to worry about void contamination either. I can still send you back whenever I feel like it but that’s just me,” He shrugged.
“Fair point.” I shrug back. “Let’s go then. I’m itchin’ for a fight.” I smirk, and approach the gate.
“Let’s go,” he motioned to the gate. The gate opened to reveal a large black emptiness. The ponies were all shaking at the empty space. “Might want to give them a push Quill. See you on the other side.” he jumped into the portal without a second thought.
I roll my eyes and I look back to the others. “C’mon guys, let’s go!” I exclaim causing all of them to smile at my eagerness. They all begin to walk into the gate. Altogether, as a family.
I come out to see a vast spacious room. I looked around and saw that there was a lot of different equipment and various glasses containing odd liquids. I turned to see a wall completely covered in various items. I could only guess that this was the wall of tokens Edward had spoken of earlier. My eye then came to rest on an hourglass-shaped door and a smaller wooden door next to it.
“Took ya long enough,” Edward said from a table he’d been sitting at. “Anyways, welcome to my world and more specifically, my lab. And there’s the rest of them,” he said as the rest of my friends come out of a similar marble gate to the one we had passed through to get here. Suddenly a couple of others came through a door on the other side of the room. One I recognized as Luna from the earlier call and the other must have been Celestia. They were followed by a rainbow Ninetails and humanized versions of everyone one else.
“Well… This is very spacious.” I mumble to myself. “Anyway, nice to meet you all. Name’s Acnori Quill, The Time Dragon Slayer.” I say while giving a polite bow. “And the ponies you see behind me, are my world’s Mane Six, Celestia, Luna, Shining Armor, Cadence, and Spike. The three humans here are Zeref Dragneel, Mavis Vermillion, and my son Serena Quill. The Jade Dragon right there is Zirconis.” I introduce.
“It’s nice to meet all of you,” Celestia said first.
“Lovely to see you all again,” said as she turned to Edward.
“Hello everyone,” the ninetails waved a paw in the air. “Nice to meet you all my names Faust.”
After Luna was done talking with Edward we all sat down in the nearest set of chairs.
“Questions, anyone,” Edward asked as he looked around.
“I just have one,” I say raising my hand. “Where’s the arena?” I ask with a chuckle.
“We’ll be using the Time Chamber as not to cause a panic amongst my citizens,” he pointed at the hourglass-shaped door. “After my fight with Shining Armor I’d rather not endanger the lives of my people and the chamber is its own pocket dimension with protective wards around the living space. Another upside is no clean up after the fight is over.”
“Well, least there’s that,” I say. “Well, anyways. Want to get to the fight?” I ask smiling.
Edward stood up and walked over to the time chamber door and opened it. “Ladies first,” he motioned to his royals and the ponies. We entered the room and it looked like the Time Chamber of Dragonball Z but with more modern comforts.
“There’s even a massive outdoor bath down the hallway,” Celestia added as everyone entered the space.
“Yes but the area for Quill and our knucklehead of a lover is in front of us,” Luna rolled her eyes as she pointed out the expanse of utter white in front of the group.
“I can set it a specific environment if you want Quill,” Edward added.
"Hmm… how about the middle of a canyon? I've always preferred the canyon setting. You know the Saitama vs Genos battle right? I'd like that type of battle plain," I request.
“How about we go with that very same spot then,” Edward smiled as a holographic display popped up in front of him. He started to type on the keyboard. Then the white space changed to match the canyon from One Punch Man. “Will this work for you?”
"Definitely," I respond, walking out into the middle of the canyon. "Where should the others sit while watching us?" I ask.
“I recommend that they stay with us up here in the living quarters,” Edward’s Celestia motioned to an open area. She then floated several cushions for the ponies and chairs for the humans. “If things go how they normally do then this is the safest spot for them to remain without threat of any form of… injury.”
“I agree wholeheartedly sister,” Edward’s Luna nodded. “But we leave the final decision up to you. It’s your choice.” She turned to my friends.
I look at them for a second before my Luna trots over to me. She pecks me on the cheek before flying back over to the others. “Be safe, and don’t get yourself killed.” She tells me.
“Well,” I smile. “It’s as you say, they’d be safer in the living quarters, and on top of that, it’d be a hell of a lot safer for my Rainbow Dash. She’s still recovering and she needs to stay safe. But would they be able to watch the battle?” I ask while looking towards my family.
“Fairy Sphere could barely contain a fight between me and Lex’s Celestia in her solar form last time I had a real fight,” Edward explained. “And I wasn’t even nearly as powerful then as I am now. Even if this fight is just brute strength this time I'm with Tia. Everyone needs to stay up here,” he said firmly as he pointed to the living area. “But I can help with the viewing issue.” More holo-displays popped up and a silver liquid came from Edward and formed into many spheroid floating cameras. “There, now I have no more nanites in my body and they have access to a full 1080 dredged view of the field. Work for you?”
“As long as they’re safe, I’m fine with it,” I answer. “After all,” I hold up my left arm. “I gave this up to keep them safe.” I tighten my metal hand into a fist.
My world’s Mane Six, Spike, Princesses, Shining, and Fioren people leave with Edward’s group to the main area of the chamber, I turned around to face Edward. I look at him with a devilish smile.
“Ready to fight?” I ask.
“That’s why we’re here,” he shrugged with a smirk. “Meet ya at the bottom.” Edward jumped backward off the edge down into the bottom of the canyon on the other side opposite me. “You’ll need to speed up Dragon Slayer.”
I chuckle and step off the ledge of the canyon and drop down into it. Wind whips by my face and my cloak flaps rapidly from the speed. I then land with my metal knuckle to the ground and on my knees in an epic pose, creating a crater beneath me.
“Let’s do this.” I smile.
“Let’s,” Edward threw off his red coat and upper jacket to fully reveal his prosthetic arm. “Seal of Sin; Pride! Release!” His shadow immediately expanded behind and grew multiple eyes and a mouth with jagged teeth.
“Well that’s cool, but ‘Seal of Sin’? You telling me you’ve got the seven deadly sins in you? That is terrifying and awesome at the same exact time.” I said.
“Not exactly the seven deadly sins,” he shrugged. “Just a seal on the powers that’s representative of the seven homunculi from the Fullmetal series,” he said. “Heads up,” he launched himself forward at me. I expected him to try and hit my with metal arm and went to counter but he instead used his left, “Time ten nail punch!” He said as his punch connected. I was sent back aways but then I was hit again and again. Ten times in total while Edward never left his spot from where he first landed his blow.
“Okay, that sucked,” I said spitting out a clump of dirt. “Why is it that dirt always gets in my mouth?” I mumble before standing back up and speeding to fight Edward.
I launch my right fist at him, and as he goes to block and counter it, I grab his arm and throw him into the side of the canyon, and push him deeper into the ground with a spartan kick, causing spider web cracks to crawl from the impact.
He walked out and cracked his neck and then his knuckles with a smirk. He ran around me from side to side leaving afterimages in various spots on the field. Suddenly they all converged on me but instead of images they were all solid hits all across my body. “Here’s a move you might know! Machine Gun Blows!” A tempest of punches hit the front of my body and sent me flying back into the wall of the canyon sending a fissure straight to the top. “Your gonna have to take this seriously Quill or you’re gonna die.”
“Hehehe… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!” I laugh while in the crevasse I was embedded in. “Oh, this what I remember!!!” I yell at him as my adrenaline rises rapidly and my vision goes gold.
My eyes begin to burn with golden light and with an inconceivable amount of speed, I stop right in front of Edward, surprising him. He goes to hit me but his fist phases right through me and I stop next to his metal arm, and I send my fist into his side, causing him to go straight into the canyon side causing a shockwave to destroy some of the canyon side. I launch back at him and grab his face. After grabbing him I throw him into the sky, and I leaped after him. Wearing a smile all the while.
“Yes!” Edward smiles back at me. “Now we’re having fun! Seals of Sin, full release!” He cries out and I feel the massive waves of power coming from him. He quickly corrects himself and kicks off the air and rockets at me. He and I exchange blow after blow and then land on either side of the gorge and then turn and take off in the air once more. In a flurry of blows and kicks we go at each other landing opposite and then taking off again.
I charge right at him, but jump over him and send my heel into his left side with great force, throwing him into the ground, tumbling away and kicking up a mass amount of dust.
“Oh my,” he got up. “Fancy footwork,” he said dusting off his pants. “Speed isn’t an issue but do you think you can keep up if I transform?”
“Fight or flight. In my case, I’ll fight. So, go ahead and transform. I’ll take anything you throw at me and return it twice as strong!” I yelled at him. My adrenaline began to skyrocket causing cracks in the ground to form and a crater was spacing around me. My eyes burning brighter with golden energy and my tattoos burning with the same golden energy.
“Very well,” Edward said coldly. His shadow then enveloped him and red lightning began to surge from the cocoon. The air around me became thick with some form of red miasma that was coming from the pod. Soon arms sprang from the cocoon and started to tear apart the shell. Before me, stood a demon and then he screamed.
He then looked at me and vanished. I then heard from behind me a growl and felt a sharp pain on my cheek. He tried to go for my head and barely missed landing a pretty good gash on my cheek. He held his clawed hand up and looked at it then flung it out to the side throwing the blood off it and then turn to face me again.
I leapt back in momentary surprise before a sickening scrape of bones against bones emitted from me. I smiled as scales grew up my right arm and began to eat away at my torso finally ending the feast and resting upon my face. I felt more powerful than I ever had. I looked at my body and saw that I looked more draconic. I then looked at the now demonic Edward and bellowed my own roar.
“Getting caught up in the moment there Quill,” Edward gargles. “Let’s go!” We took off again and started to exchange blows. I was barely able to keep up with new form of his but I knew he was still holding back on me. “Skill; Mars Bane!” His arms glowed as he knocked his fists together. “Ten times Nail Punch!” He landed the blow into my gut and sent me fly back but instead of a ten hit combo like before I felt a total of twenty in my stomach. I was left coughing up a spew of blood.
I look at him for a few seconds before blinking my eyes. “Oh… Shit.” I say before smiling. “The last person to ever make me bleed in a fight was my brother, but that was only because he was training me in combat,” I tell Edward. “This is getting exciting!!!” I say as my voice deepens into a bellowing roar.
Charging at Edward I throw and land a punch straight into his stomach causing him to spit out a bunch of crimson blood that landed onto the ground. He slid back on the ground a few feet away from me. We looked at each other and in the moment we laughed a bit.
“Damn, you weren’t lying when you said you were strong as hell!” I laughed panting and spitting the blood out of my mouth.
“You got a pretty good right hook yourself, kid,” He chuckled as red electricity sparked from his body and the blood he’d spat up turned to ash. “All better now,” he moved his shoulder in a circular motion. “But the kid gloves are off now,” his arms glowed again. Suddenly he vanished again and that’s when I felt punches landing on opposite sides of my body. His left fist hit my face and his right hit my lower back. “Mars Bane Dual Twenty times Nail Punches.” A consecutive of eighty blows worth of damage was dealt to me and then Edward grabbed me by the face and held me up as he had an evil smirk on his maw. He slammed my head down send cracks in every direction and then started to run with my face still in his grip as he dragged me across the floor of the canyon. He started to then twirl and as he picked enough speed and proceeded to through me across the map. I landed and then the alchemist landed right on top of me with his fist buried in my gut again “MARS BANE EIGHTY TIMES NAIL PUNCH!” He roared and sent one hundred and sixty blows straight into my body but instead of flying backward a was sent deep into the surrounding stone.
I growled angrily as my rage began to rise. Higher, higher, and higher with each passing second, the inferno that is my anger turned into a massive hurricane of rage. I felt the scales around my body begin to rise and my metallic left arm was blown apart sending shrapnel of metal straight into Edward’s chest. I slowly stood back up and looked directly at Edward, my anger at its limit. Scales formed over my face and became a snout, horns grew from the top of my head and wings sprouted from my back. A tail snaked from my lower back, and I looked at Edward, my eyes no longer glowing gold. They were glowing a deathly red. I could no longer speak, and only seethed out growls and snarls.
“Yes, give in Quill, release the dragon,” Edward roared as he laughed maniacally “ Now that I managed to pull out that form you’ll be to use it once you learn your trigger. Bring it,” he roared as he threw his arms out to either side and charged at my dragon form.
Before Edward could do anything I sent my clawed straight into the side of his chest, cracking his ribs and sending him straight into the side of the canyon.
Quill’s Luna’s POV
I look on in worry as Quill and Edward fight, trading blows and harming each other. I’m worried sick and I wish I could help my beloved Quill.
“Please be okay.” I strain as Quill is sent into the side of the canyon, causing me to gasp. “Quill!” I gasp.
“That one looked like it hurt,” Edward’s Celestia winced as she looked at the screen. “It’s a good thing Edward only released one seal. He did say no weapons were being used in this fight too right?”
“You can relax Luna,” I turned to see the other me next to me. “Edward and Quill are only having a bit of fun. Edward is also trying to teach Quill how to unlock more of himself. If Ed were really serious he would have gone much harder from the start.” She smiled softly at me.
Then Quill explodes from the canyon side, his tattoos glowing golden. Quill then launches at Edward and strikes Edward’s side and destroys part of the canyon side with the shockwave, surprising us.
“Woah! I knew he was strong, but not THAT strong!” Zeref exclaimed as Mavis cheered Quill with Serena. Zirconis just sat slack-jawed.
“Um… I hate to be the spoilsport but Edward just walked out like that hit was just a love tap or something,” Shining Armor pointed a hoove at the screen. “WHO IS THIS GUY ANYWAY?”
“You must have missed a huge part of Ed’s explanation sonny,” Faust snickered at the confused unicorn. “Basically, Ed is the greatest mind and weapon of this world. He stands above even me when it comes in terms of raw power and most definitely intellect. He loves my girls deeply and willingly gave up any chance to return to his homeworld to stay here.”
“Indeed, even from here I can tell Edward’s power and strength, but I can also feel a rivaling power and strength, which is Quill’s power, fighting against Edward’s power.” My sister explains.
Then a massive wave of power roared around the walls and I looked back to the screen to see Edward changing forms.
“I don’t think that’s a good thing, is it?” My Spike asks absentmindedly.
“He took on his demon armor form. I haven’t seen it in a while,” Edward’s Celestia shuddered as she spoke. “Not since his fight with Sorano. This one looks smaller than the other one though. To think he pulled off all his Sins seal. Quill must be much stronger than any of you had originally let on. Ed hasn’t been pushed this hard in a while, but again he isn’t using anything but his physical strengths. Is that Mars Bane?”
“Indeed it is sister,” Edward’s Luna confirmed. “Quill is in for a lot more more than just a few blows with that.” she looked over to me. “It’s not a technique but a skill that doubles the hits of anything it’s applied to and judging from the amount of damage Quill just took, Ed applied it to a Nail Punch. Think of it as getting hit repeatedly over and over in the same spot. It’s a move that on its own deals a very large amount of damage in a single blow. Paired with Mars Bane, it’s a devastating combo.”
We then hear a huge roar, bigger than what Edward roared. I looked back to Quill to see his body almost completely covered in scales. His eyes burning brighter than anything I’ve ever seen.
“Is that, Quill?” I ask.
I then see Quill get hit by Mar Nane Nail Punches several times again, causing him to spit up blood. Me and the Elements gasp in shock. I gasped in worry but became confused when Quill punched Edward in the stomach and caused him to cough up blood, and they began to laugh by the looks of it.
“Why are they laughing?” My Twilight asked.
“They’re having fun,” Edward’s Twilight remarked. “He always gets like this,” she shook her head.
“It runs in the family,” Polearm, Edward’s descendant slash guard said. “I get lost in the thrill of a good fight too. Think of it like when you’re reading a book that you’re really into. It can also be a guy of martial arts thing.”
I nod my head and look back to the fight to see Quill getting brutally punched and thrown around the map. I gasp and tears threaten to escape my eyes, and I bring my hooves up to my mouth.
“It looks like Edward has just about achieved his goal,” Edward’sLuna remarked. “He’d rather push someone to the brink physically than emotionally but it looks like he was trying to get Quill mad too. But why?” she turned to me.
“Uh oh…” I hear Zeref say. We all turn to him. “That’s not good. I’ve seen Acnologia when he’s mad. And just from sensing his power, I can tell Quill is much, much worse.” He says grimly.
I slowly turn to the screen to see Quill climbing out of the ground, his left arm grabbed the ground first but it looked different. That’s when Edward stumbled back with several pieces of metal jutting from his chest. Then Edward was blown back, and a huge amount of dust covered the battlefield. I looked into the dust to see gleaming red eyes looking at Edward. Once the dust settled, I saw Quill. But he had turned into a Dragon, several markings littered his shoulders and his tail was followed by a scythe-like blade, and a massive amount of power caused all of us a momentary amount of nausea.
“That power is almost like that time Ed fought with Lex’s Celestia,” Edward’s Luna commented as she got to her feet. “I was afraid of this.”
“Sister you don’t mean,” Edward’s Celestia looked at her sister in horror.
She only nodded in confirmation of something. “Ed has been holding back greatly.”
“And that’s even worse.” Zeref says while his eyes turned into spirals. “I see a seal on Quill’s strength. But from what I can tell, it’s put in place by Acnologia.” Zeref says.
“And that means?” I ask.
“Acnologia’s holding back to.” He says as we all focus on the fight again.
“Great we have a mass of living souls holding back and an apocalypse dragon holding back,” Faust rolled her eyes. “This is exactly what the idiots love. Two meatheads holding back to push each other but my money is on my son-in-law.”
"Well if we're betting, I'm going on Quill. Plus from what he's told us, Acnologia's not the Apocalypse Dragon Slayer. He's the Magic Dragon Slayer, and Quill's the Time Dragon Slayer, but when they're both not holding back and are working in sync, they're both the Apocalypse Dragon Slayer." My Twilight explained.
“You forget that this is a purely physical fight or was until he turned into the Dragon,” Edward’s Twilight shot back. “My teacher is no pushover. As Queen Faust said, he has more power and intelligence than even her.”
“Yes well, that was over seven thousand years ago dear,” Faust added as she rubbed the back of her head.
“Wait how old is Edward here exactly?” My Cadence asked.
“My uncle is over fifteen thousand years old in this world,” Edward’s Cadence answered her counterpart.
“If Edward would have been using his magic in conjunction with his alchemy and other powers and weapons Quill would’ve been done for from the very start,” The other Luna answered. “He’s kept even his Homunculus power of the table to enjoy the fight. He’s still not even at half power. If his magic draining were on then he’d be at half power and that very bad.”
“Let’s not have Malice come out dear sister,” Edward’s Celestia shot at her sister. “Agreed,” Edward’s Luna nodded in agreement.
“Wait you said magic draining,” my Twilight looked at the other princesses.
“Ed has a natural magic drain ability in his body that takes in the magic around him whether he wants to or not,” Faust said. “He can temporarily turn it off but only for about an hour or so.”
“You also said he has other abilities. What are they?” I asked desperately.
“Many forms of different Magics, something called chakra that allows a plethora of different skills, aura or soul projection, Rinnegan, martial arts, and weapons mastery, etc. he has a good many skills that aren’t magic-based all,” Edward’s Luna said.
“What has Quill been facing out there?” I looked to the field it’s even more worried than I’d had in the last two thousand years combined.
“I don’t like saying it and neither does any pony here but Edward calls himself a demon,” Edward’s Celestia said with a painful look on here face. I could see tears starting to form under her eyes and her sister’s .
"Well then it's a demon vs demon battle." Zeref says. "Because I'm picking up a massive amount of demonic energy emitting from Quill, and it's as much as Edward is emitting. They've both gone demonic." Zeref tells us.
“Luna,” Edward’s Celestia said quickly. “Has Ed really gonna full power?”
Edward’s Luna was using some sort of holo-display keyboard to enlarge the images. “It looks like he's ... getting beaten to a pulp by Quill, what’s he thinking. He should be using his magic or something at least. Quill is just laying into him.”
"He can't. From what I can tell, Edward is a very honorable man, and he wouldn't go back on a deal. Quill wanted a no magic, no alchemy, and no weapons fight. So that's how he's going to fight." Serena said.
“You’re right when it comes to him being honorable little one but there is a difference between honor and being stubborn,” Edward’s Luna remarked. “Your father is out of control and if he’s not roughy back to his senses then we’ll have a very big problem on our hands. I hope Edward gets serious about this soon or we’ll be forced to seal Quill in the Time Chamber.”
"That's not good… is it?" My sister asks.
“Consider it on the scale as if a certain centaur escaped from his bonds and went on a killing spree,” Edward’s Celestia said seriously. “Think if it this way. This place is another Dimension inside another dimension. Edward’s lab is technically separated from our homeworld inside the void. If Quill was sealed in here not even Luna or myself would have the means to get him out. Not even Discoed has power here. The only one who does is Edward and whoever he says has it.”
"I have just one more question," My Pinkie Pie says with genuine worry on her face. "Has any other Displaced ever fought Edward to a draw or rivaled his full power in terms of raw strength?" She asks her eyes never leaving the screen.
“Only two,” Edward’s Luna stated. “His master and his war bound brother Optimus before his first body was destroyed and even then Optimus never magic Edward physical. His master is the only one who has ever actually bested him. He did fight to a draw with Lex’s Celestia but that was before he gained other magic and abilities.”
Suddenly a huge column of red light erupted from the field send a shockwave in every direction. It was as if the very air shaking from fear of something, overwhelming. Everyone’s attention was now back on the screen. Everyone’s jaws hit the floor except for Edward’s Luna and Celestia as they seemed to have seen this phenomenon before.
“Looks like this fight just went from a simple brawl to a clash of straight cataclysms,” Faust remarked.
[Edward’s POV]
I stood there looking at Quill in dragon form. I had intended to push him to the point he was another at me but it looked as if my part in playing the villain had triggered something else in Quill’s head. It felt as if something was keeping him in this state of constant rage. He must be projecting some sort of image onto me. I was gonna have to break him free of his dragon form before he got out of the Time Chamber. He could do some serious danger even in here though. With our friends in here, they were at a much greater risk than either of us. Quill would never forgive himself if he even scratched someone else in this state.
“GRRRRAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!” The now Draconic Quill roared.
“Oh pissed off I kicked your scaly hide up and down this gorge you overgrown lizard,” I roared back at Quill. If he’s being affected this much I wonder if Acnologia is being suppressed under Quill’s rage to.
“First…. Acnologia….! Will… Die…!” Quill strained to say. “Quill calm down! That Acnologia is dead! Remember you’re now fighting Edward!” A voice echoed.
“Looks like you’re a little confused their Quill,” I felt something trying to calm him down just now. “Whoever you are you better explain who you are and what’s going on,” I looked around with my eyes as I kept my body still.
Quill stood still just as I did, and never moved a muscle. He was waiting for me to make a move. I was getting antsy just standing around but I couldn’t risk moving until I had a better understanding of what was causing Quill to stay in this state of mind. I then saw a glint off in the distance away just to the left side of Quill behind the dragon head. I then remembered I had used my nanites to create remote viewing cameras for the others to watch the fight.
“I can’t risk the cameras getting his attention and then him moving off to the others,” I mumble to myself. I then moved just to the left and now had Quill’s undivided attention. “Bring it Stink bait!” I yelled as I pointed at Quill.

“GRRRRRRR…” Quill snarled in response.
“Oh Raar yourself, air strike fist!” I yelled and sent a jet of high-pressure air into the center of Quill’s chest. He staggered back slightly and shook his head from side to side. “Come back to your sense you idiot. You have people you’re supposed to protect right.”
“Will… Protect… Family… From… You... First… Acnologia… You… Traitor…!” Quill struggled to say through his rage and different vocal cords.
“He’s trying to come back but it looks like I won’t get his mind clear until his magic runs dry,” I said with a slight annoyance. “He looks like he’s projecting the original Acnologia!s visage onto me from when he turned his back on his humanity, dragons and the world in general,” I sighed.
“No, Edward you do not understand! The original Acnologia was the one in charge of protecting and taking care of our village in Fiore! But then he betrayed us all and murdered the Village leaving only Quill and his daughter Sonya. That original Acnologia is, or rather was Tyrrios!” The same voice echoed.
“That’s right,” I said as I remembered. “Quill’s previous life took the name of the dragon that destroyed his village. Tyrrios aye, could it be that he’s drawn to me because I still have Tyrrios’s Philosopher Stone.” I thought aloud. “He’s just fighting in a blind rage at this point though, whether he sees me as Tyrrios or Edward doesn’t matter anymore. As soon as he’s done with me he’d move on to the next thing that moved. Wait you mentioned your village, who are you?”
“I’m the Acnologia who witnessed Sonya get murdered. I’m what remained as Quill, who is our humanity, was reincarnated. I’m the Acnologia everyone knows as the one who caused the Fioren Dragons to go extinct. I’m also the only thing keeping Quill from going full genocide mode, or how I like to call it, Extinction Dragon Slayer.” Acnologia tells me.
“What’s going on inside that head that you two share?” I asked.
“Well, the more adrenaline that flows through Quill’s body, the stronger he gets but he’s also more susceptible to losing himself in rage! Oh Shit!” Acnologia yelled before continuing. “And the angrier he gets the more powerful he becomes and causing him to basically rival and eventually causing the Hulk in World Breaker Mode, and Kratos the God of War to say “You need to calm down”. But if they met Extinction Dragon Slayer Quill, they and everyone and thing around him would be dead within seconds! You need to find a way to suppress Quill’s rage! I’m doing what I can but it’s taking all I have just to hold back! Be careful! Because one punch from Extinction Quill can cut a mid-sized moon in half! SHIT! I have to go, good luck!” Acnologia explained before I couldn’t hear him anymore.
“Nanwahhahhaa!” I laughed at his last remark. “A mid-size moon ya say. Nah aha! That’s pretty impressive for one so young. But the way I see it is I have one road to take. First I’ll have let him work out some of that rage and burn through that excess adrenaline then I’ll have beat him to a pulp and after that retrain him until his mind and body realign with each other. I really don’t like this first part,” I said half-heartedly. I looked Quill straight in the eyes and put myself in the evilest villain mindset I could muster. “Come on Quill or are you just gonna stand their and lose everything again, Nahaha! Oh I know once I’m with you I’ll go back to your world and enslave every last creature there and then once their usefulness is used up I turn everything into Philosopher Stones for my personal use! Hahahaha!”
As soon as those words left my demonic mouth, Quill vanished. Only to reappear in front of me and I felt a sharp and massive wave of pain as several of my ribs were cracked and I was sent flying into the wall of the canyon and essentially created a cave from being sent so deep into the wall of the canyon. The only thing I could see was the burning red eyes of Quill, piercing my very being.
“My what big eyes you have *bleck*,” I coughed up blood. ‘Why don’t you just destroy him, Allen, he’s just a lowly dragon, after all, use your magic it’ll be quick.’ “Shut up Malice, you’re not coming out and I can’t finish this fight with our match with using magic.”I murmured and then I looked at Quill. “Is that all you got you lizard because if it is your home will be mine in no time at all, Nayahahah!” I bellowed.
Before I could get up, however, I felt a massive wave of pain flowing everywhere throughout my torso. I could hear the splatter of blood on the ground. I looked down to see the end of Quill's tail embedded into my stomach. I looked back up and was pulled out of the wall forcefully, and was thrown onto the ground. Sliding on the ground leaving a massive trail of blood, I looked at Quill’s tail and saw that it was barreling towards me at high speeds, and I only just barely avoided getting my head cut in half. Quill’s tail went back and left a trail of my blood on the ground as his eyes continued to look straight into my soul.
“Hey Acno, how's it going on your end?” I got to my feet and as the holes in my body closed. “I don’t scare that easily, lizard.” I looked Quill staring the eyes and sent out murderous waves over my own out causing him to step back slightly.
“Well, his rage is going down ever so slightly. But his adrenaline is still rising rapidly and,” Acnologia stops. “Oh poo. Ed, you better brace yourself because… OH SHIT! WATCH OUT!” Acnologia screamed at me, as I looked back to Quill who was barreling at me and I didn’t have enough time to dodge his fist, not that I planning to, which broke right through my chest.
I shouldn’t be surprised but damn did that sting, and it only got worse when Quill ripped his arm out of my chest by pulling it out and ripping my left arm off too, and with one swift motion, Quill back-handed me into the ground.
My healing kicks in instantly but it still hurts like hell have my limbs removed in any form. As soon as my wounds were closed I looked at Quill with a slight twitch under my right eye. “Rage down is what I needed. Even with your adrenaline up, your body won’t be able to stay in sync with your enraged mind.” I smirked. “Acno, will Quill be alright if I Iet loses a bit?”
“Ed, right now, Quill can feel no pain.” He told me. “Go fucking ham.”
“So basically I can show off my true form and knock his fucking block off,” I smiled evilly and began to give of tsunamis of killing aura. “Hope you enjoy an ass-kicking Quill,” I cracked my knuckles. “ Because I’m not going to hold… BACK!!!!” I yelled and unleashed my power as a column of red energy surrounded me.
My body began to warp and twist as I started to grow to my full height. Soon the scar on my chest opened to reveal my massive golden Rinnegan with and Oroborus in the place of the pupil. My body started to blacken and more eyes opened all over my body then I gain crimson red armor and the eyes showed in every nook and cranny of my body. On my back, I gained my bright silver metal wings with red tips. As usual, I gained an armored tail. My face was covered in blackness with three red eyes on the right side of my face and one gold one on the left. My teeth become pointed like a predator’s. I was now in my true form and at my full height of twelve feet.
I spread my wings and flexed every muscle let out a shattering roar while blowing everything away around me, “RAAAAAWWWRR!!!” I turned to Quill who was still much taller than me but was visibly set back by my actions. “This time you’re my bitch Dragon,” I growled with a smile.
I vanished and reappeared at Quill’s tail end and took him by it. “Upsy daisy,” I said as I easily tossed him into the air. Quill tried to correct his flight path in mid-air but I got above him and slammed both of my feet into his gut driving him back into the ground. “Hehe, I forgot how much fun physical confrontation is,” I jumped back and fluttered on my wings slightly as I touched down. “Aww is the big bad dragon out of breath,” I taunted as Quill breathed heavily, trying to get back on his feet.
“Ed, Quill’s rage is going down fairly fast, whatever you’re doing, keep going. But tone it down a bit, because his adrenaline was cut in half.” Acnologia told me.
“Way to spoil a guys fun when he’s just getting warmed up,” I cracked my neck as I started to give off more wave of killing intent.
“Didn’t say you had to stop, just try not to kill us.” Acnologia corrected.
“Never had such a good punching bag before, Mars Bane,” I said as I shot in front of him. “Chain reaction Paralyzer,” I said as I hit center spots on Quill’s body to slow down his movements. I jumped back and smirked. “It’ll take a few moments to kick in but soon you’ll be completely immobilized by those pressure points I hit.” I flapped my wings and took off. “Catch me if ya can dragon boy.” I teased.
I scored through the air on my own power with Quill hot on my tail, literally. He swiped at me with his remaining hand but due to my size and his spent energy, he was having a very difficult time keeping up. On top of this, he was starting to feel the effects of my earlier assault.
“Looks like I can put the last bit of my plan into action,” I smirked as I corrected my flight to face Quill. “Susanoo!” I yelled as I was enveloped in a red giant with a silver right arm and a silver left leg. Using my Susanoo’s weight and positioning myself well above Quill I let gravity do its jump and fill on top of him. I used the Susanoo’s arms and held Quill down. “Now, Wood Style Deep Forest Emergence!” I placed a hand on the ground and then massive trees sprang from the ground and wrapped all around Quills dragon form. The trees acted as tendril and severely restricted his movements. He continued to thrash around but didn’t have the strength to break the trees. Quill kept this up until he was completely paralyzed from my Chain Reaction Paralyzer.
I placed my hand on the side of my head, “Acno, how are things on your end?”
“One sec…” Acnologia told me before I waited a few seconds. “I absolutely fucking hate the both of you,” Quill said in his normal voice. “Christ, my head hurts. What the hell happened? All I remember is getting pissed and my vision went red.” He told me. “And can you get these fucking vines off me?!” He yelled in annoyance.
“First, they’re trees. Second, you got so pissed that you projected an image of Tyrrios on to me, and third, I kicked your ass in order to get you to return to normal,” I said bending down placing my hand on the ground causing the trees to release Quill. “Good news is now you have access to your dragon mode now.”
“Actually, that was just his Dragon Force… His Dragon Mode would dwarf your twelve-foot form you have right now,” Acnologia told me. “His Dragon Mode is at least twice as big as a full-grown Tirek,” Acnologia explained.
“Can’t wait to fight that,” I smirked. “Shall I unparalyze you?”
“Yes, please.” Quill requested. “Go your ugly,” he remarked as I returned to my human form. “And really, you can fight our Dragon Mode right now. Because our Dragon Mode is the Apocalypse Dragon.” Acnologia added.
“I barely used any of my raw physical power let alone any of my Susanoo and ninjutsu. My Susanoo’s wasn’t even fully developed into its giant state. It was still partially skeletonized,” I said as I returned to my human form. I walked over and nailed Quill right in the gut knocking the wind out of him but also send a shock through his entire body. “There ya go. Feeling better?”
“Really asshole?! Fucking hell!” Quill yelled at me and returned the gesture with a punch of twice the power into my gut, but he used his left fist. “Wait… What the fuck?” Quill said surprised and looked at his now fully Draconic left arm. “When the fuck did this happen?” He asked.
“When you transformed and I don’t recommend you hit me again. The only reason you’re not tithing in pain is due to your dragon scales,” I said as I snapped and we appeared back in the living quarters. “And three, two, one cue the loving maiden,” I said as Quill was immediately tackled by his Luna while I was overseen by my princesses and by overseen I been slapped upside the head by Luna and scolded by Tia. Then came the talk from Quill’s girlfriend also known as screaming at you in the Royal Canterlot Voice.
“WHAT THE EVER LIVING FUCK, YOU SON OF A BITCH?!?!? YOU COULD’VE KILLED QUILL!!!!!!” Quill’s Luna screamed at me, tears flowing from her eyes as she tightened her hug on Quill.
“Luna, calm down! I didn’t die. And plus he had to do that to snap me out of my rage.” Quill tried to calm her down running his left hand through her mane.
“You’re gonna break your boyfriend or suffocate him if you keep squeezing him like that,” I said as I put a finger in my ear. “Damn Royal Canterlot Voice.” My princess merely giggled at my response. “Anyways, I’m sorry if it seemed a bit excessive to you Luna but it was necessary to unlock more of Quills power. Speaking of Quill” I pulled out a vile of red potion and tossed it to him. “Drink it before the adrenaline completely wears off.”
Quill takes the bottle and chugs the potion. “Thanks. Christ… Gave you a run for your money though, didn’t I?” Quill asked me, as he sat up and onto a bed, while still running his left hand through his Luna’s mane.
“I won’t completely deny it but at the same time I won’t confirm it,” I said with a nonchalant smirk. “But you pal,” I said seriously pointing at him. “Need to get a handle on that anger or you’ll end seriously endangering your world and on top of that your lover. Do you seriously want that, again?!” I raised my voice. “Well?” I stared at him straight in the eyes.
“Of course not… That’s why I asked you to kill me if ever I got out of control in my world.” Quill answered Luna shrank back after hearing that.. “And plus… I would have Acnologia to try and stop me as well.”
“You gave him hell to,” I said as I plopped down on a nearby chair. My Luna and Tia looked at each other and nodded.
“You asked Edward to end your life but did you ask him why he would only do it as a last resort?” They said in unison.
“Because there could’ve been a chance that I was still there. But even if he got me to snap out of it, I would ask him to teleport me somewhere random in my world,” Quill answered, to which his Luna looked at him in worry. “Don’t ask me why. It just feels like there’s something I’d need to do myself.” He tells her.
I shook my head. I stood up and walked over to Quill and looked down my nose at him. “You Idiot!,” I reeled back and let my right arm fly and made him eat metal knuckles for breakfast. “You can’t face rage alone or you’ll end up as I did. Only with the help of Luna, Celestia, and Starswirl working together was I able to be stop in my rage Even then it was only when I was subdued and Luna got the chance to talk me down and brought me back to my senses, but not before I consumed all of the magic and life of what is now the Badlands of this world.”
“Ow! Son of a bitch! Nut you’re right about one thing,” Quill said as he rubbed where I hit him.. “I can be an idiot sometimes.” He chuckled before falling flat on his back. “Jesus, I need a nap.” He complained, causing his group to laugh at his statement.
“Your girl can help you with that. Feel free to yourself the beds here. You’re all more than welcome to stay here and the kitchen is fully stocked and the bath is down the hall,” I said as I walked to the door and all of my friends following me. “As for me, I have a couple of uber-cute foals to check on and Night court to help run. I can send you back home if you prefer.”
Quill weakly and tiredly gives me a thumbs up before sleeping.
“I leave you here for now then, take care him Luna,” I said looking to Quills Luna and then to my own. “Maybe you should stay behind and talk with her and the others. I can handle night court this time.”
“I’ll take care of the Twins tonight you guys stay here, I have a feeling the ponies have a lot of questions and only a few of you, other than Edward, can answer them,” Faust said as she joined me and we walked out of the room.
Quill’s Celestia’s POV
I look to this Edward fellow’s Luna and begin to wonder. What else is out there, and what happened during that fight?
I decided to start with a simple question. “Excuse me?” I speak up. “If I may, who is Edward truly?” I ask this world’s Luna.
She giggled a little and then cleared her throat. “Forgive me I forget my manners some time and so can Ed when he spins summoned and brings others her abruptly.” She went to the kitchen and then returned with a tray with glasses and a pitcher of water. “It’s hard to explain but basically Ed is the same type of being as Quill at his core. They go by the name of Displaced. Beings with great poorer sent to various worlds or versions of Equestria. It seems the have a very similar view of things as well. Ed is, the strongest being I know with only his master being above him, but he is also my husband and father of our children. Does that help any?”
“Yes, that explains quite a bit.” My Twilight responds.
My Rarity clears her throat before shakily asking. “Just, how powerful is Edward?” She stutters.
“Ed is so powerful that he could defeat Celestia and myself with easy, even if we were to be at the peak of our power over two thousand years ago and this was before he gained all of his other powers and Magics,” Edward’s Luna explained.
Zeref then looks at Edward’s Luna and with Spiral-Red eyes, he asks: “How many times have you seen Edward’s true from, or what we saw him use to fight against Quill who was going out of control?” He asks with a monotone voice.
“I’ve only seen it twice before today,” Edward’s Celestia said coldly.
“Today makes my fourth time to see it but he hasn’t had that form for his whole life here,” Edward’s Luna explained. “Only after he came back from death and giving up his chance to return to his original world did he gain that from. It’s actually the manifestation of years of negativity from the souls that were trapped inside his body. Unfortunately, Malice survived the encounter and Upon Ed’s return he took the combined evil back into himself to make sure it didn’t go after someone else or become unleashed on the world he loved.”
“Interesting…” Zeref mumbled.
“U-Uhm… E-Excuse me?” My Fluttershy asked shakily. “W-What was happening during the fight? W-Why was Quill going o-out of control?” She asked still shuttering from the fight. To be honest, seeing what Quill contained, and now knowing that amount of rage was living in our world… It terrifies me.
“It looked as if he had projected some kind of memory onto Edward,” the one known as Polearm interjected. “In training Ed has often told us to use this method in order to test our emotions but try and remain in control. I think Quill may have gone through some form of PTSD during the fight. Ed’s actions were confused or reminded Quill of something that happened long ago and angered him. The fact that he was powerless to stop Ed from laying into him only helped remind him of this old memory. Probably a memory where he couldn’t do anything but watch as everything was taken from him. One where he was angry at his own powerlessness and he swore revenge.”
As soon as Polearm said this Luna’s eyes looked straight at me.
“Sister? What is it?” I asked my sister. “Do you know something about this?” I inquire.
“Yes… This memory… It was likely from the time when his village back in Fiore was incinerated by the Dragon who was sworn to protect the village. Quill’s real name was Acnori back in Fiore, but he changed it once he became the Dragon King. The Dragon was Tyrrios, but back then Tyrrios went by Acnologia. He was the first Acnologia. From what I could tell, Edward’s fighting methods prior to Quill changing was so similar to that of Tyrrios’ that Quill couldn’t differentiate between his memory or reality.” Luna explained, looking down sadly.
“I think Ed was trying to get Quill to unlock his dragon form but at the same time he was trying to teach him how to trigger and harness this form,” Edward’s Twilight added. “He can go overboard when it comes to this sort of thing. He personally trained all of use in a similar manner. He created golems that were specifically tooled to work against our weakness.”
“Yea, like me having a tendency to shoot off without thinking stuff through,” Edward’s Rainbow added jumped in.
“Ya still shoot off on your own,” Edward’s Applejack interrupted with a sly smirk.
“Well, yea but…” Edward’s Rainbow Dash rubbed the back of her head.
“Edward helped us grow physically stronger in our bodies and unique magic but he didn’t help us in a mental sense,” Edward’s Twilight explained. “But I’m not saying he won’t try either.”
“Ed has helped others this way before,” Edward’s Luna added. “He helped his nephew like this. Unfortunately, he often takes the role of the villain when helping others like this.”
"Well in this case if Acnologia wasn't holding back, it might've ended badly." My sister said, to which I nodded in agreement.
“I’ve seen my husband when he gets serious and if he’d truly thought that Quill was a genuine threat to us in any way or form without some way of bringing back to his senses the Edward wouldn’t have hesitated to end Quill’s life then and there,” Edward’s Luna said seriously before turning to my sister. “That being said I also know it’s like to see him completely consumed by his rage and hatred. He died once already to save this world from himself and gave up the chance to go back to where he one from. I wholeheartedly think Ed does everything he can to protect those he can, no matter what. He goes out of his way to help others no matter the consequences, even if it means that he ends up the bad guy or people absolutely hate him for the rest of their existence.” she said with a lot of sorrow in her voice. “He never turned to others always taking the burden of everything. It wasn’t until an incident during the summoning of our nieces that he, no Malice had inadvertently caused but taking pieces of their souls. Ed did everything he could to make a new body for little Sorano by combining several alchemical and magical techniques along with the help of her siblings. It wasn’t until he spoke with Lex that he actually started to rely on others and started to be open with Tia and myself,” she placed a hand on her sister’s.
“Well, Quill, or rather Acnologia has already been consumed by his rage and hatred once before. It’s how the Dragon King Festival came to be.” Zeref told them. “And he wiped out all Dragons from the face of Fiore and nearly did the same with all Dragon Slayers.” Zeref said sadly. “And the form Quill took during the fight has the same amount of power that Acnologia had on Fiore and nothing and no one could even make a dent on him. And if that was Quill’s Dragon Force, well… Whoever pissed him off to that extent is going to have a Bad Time.” Zeref sighed. “Let’s just be glad that the Extinction Dragon Slayer, is on our side for the time being.”
“Oh yes I almost forgot,” Edward’s Celestia said. “Ed wanted me to ask how long you’d like to stay in our world? And he gave me this,” she pulled out a glowing red stone the color of fresh blood. “He said that this belongs to Quill but to give to you,” She held the stone one up to Zeref. “Ed mentioned that Quill knew what it was but that it would be better for you to hold on to for the time until Quill was ready to use it.”
“Well, you can yeet the damned thing out the window for all we care.” A voice spoke causing Mavis, Zirconis, Zeref, and Serena to jump in shock and slight fear. “Ah, don’t worry, just look next to the passed out Quill.” It said, and so we did, only to see an ethereal Quill, but his left arm was missing and his eyes were a navy-blue, and not Quill’s intimidating-red. The spirit waved at us all. “Hello there, nice to meet you in person and not through Quill’s eyes. You should already know me, I’m Acnologia!” The spirit grinned. “Zeref, when you take the stone, wait… y’ know what, just give it to Celestia. If it’s put in the vault, that’d keep it far away from me and Quill, which is good because of that fucking thing! If’s the remaining magic and the magical prison, for the son of a bitch who infected Rainbow with the Husk Virus, and the fucker who murdered not only our entire village but Sonya as well. That thing is Tyrrios.” Acnologia told us while pointing his middle finger at the stone. “Go fuck yer’ self Tyrrios. Fuck you!” Acnologia said giving the stone the stink-eye.
“It looks like Ed gave you Projection magic during your fight Mr. Acnologia,” Edward’s Luna said before turning to me. “As for that stone, he’s right. You should lock it away where no pony, no no living being can find it. It can dramatically increase magic and perform miracles, except for reviving the dead, not saying that they won’t try though. It’s a good thing Ed only gave Quill Basic alchemy but I have no doubt that he knows what that evil thing is.”
“Why would he give Quill such a dangerous artifact Princess?” My student looked at me with worry in her eyes.
“Likely to do some good with a piece of crap!” Serena shouted in suggestion. “Tyrrios took my sister! So dad killed him for a second time!” Serena cheered as Zeref giggled at the child’s enthusiasm.
“Watch your language Serena,” my sister scolded the little dragon slayer. “Sorry, Luna,” he apologetically said as his gaze turned to the floor.
“The most probable reason is so Quill has more magical access.” Zeref said dropping his giggle and gaining a dead serious look. “According to what Zirconis told me about Tyrrios and his magic, Tyrrios has some of the most powerful magic, rivaling that of Time Dragon Magic. It’s apparently called Lava or Meteor Dragon Slayer Magic. I’m guessing that Quill absorbed some of the Meteor magic and fused it with his own to create Extinction Dragon Magic. So, not only is Quill one half of the literal Apocalypse, he is now a literal Extinction event just waiting to be pissed off.” Zeref exaggerated with a facepalm. “Great… Now Quill actually is the most powerful wizard from Fiore.” Zeref grumbled.
“Have no fear young Zeref,” Edward’s Celestia said with a motherly tone that I was very familiar with. “Quill is a good man with a good soul. He’d rather have himself killed then hurt any of you here. But back to the earlier question. How long do you plan to stay in our world? We need to know if we’re to make the right accommodations for all of you as I don’t think you all want to stay in Ed’s lab let alone the Time Chamber.”
“Well, I should get back, and the Elements all have their own jobs they need to get back to as well,” I say. “So, we should be heading back. My sister, however, will likely want to stay by Quill’s side for his duration.” I smile sweetly.
“Welp, Serena has school tomorrow and I’ll have to go and be a substitute for the currently passed out Dragon Slayer over there, so we have to get going.” Zeref answers.
“I’ll go back home to take care of Serena and Gilda along with Mali,” Mavis says. “How about you Zirconis?”
“I think I’ll go back to take care of Gilda and Mail. It’s the least I could do for being an ass when we first met.” He rubbed his shoulder sheepishly as he looked over at said Griffons, Mali who was passed out and asleep, and Gilda who was halfway passed out.
“I can return all of you in a few days once the void gate to your world restablizes,” Ed said as he came back into the room. “I was kinda hasty in it’s making and it was only stable enough for a one-way trip and I’d rather not risk sending you all back until we have a more stable portal. Let Blue Balls be overwhelmed with taking requests for about three days okay.” He said leaning up against the door. “I’m really sorry about this mess of things but it’ll at least give you some much-needed downtime and me some more time to train or snoring lizardman over there,” he pointed at Quill snuggling up next to Luna. “In how to better use his alchemy and to learn his next skill set for Alchemagic. I’m very sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you in this.” He bowed his head. “At the least, it’ll take three days at most a week if done right. Is that okay with all of you?”
“It’s fine Edward. No harm done. And if anything and I’m gone for a few days, I’m sure my world’s Equis’ gravitational pull could move our sun and moon. Though it would make the day go by slower.” I mumbled that last sentence.
“It’s fine bro. No harm done.” Acnologia told Edward giving him a cheeky grin. “Nice to finally meet you in person, by the way.”
“Nice to meet you to Acno,” he said as he walked over and gave Aconolgia a fist bump. “Now let’s get all of you all settle into rooms. We’re in the castle so we have plenty of space,” he clapped his hands together. “Unless you’d all like to stay cramped up in this training room in here. I don’t recommend this either.”
“Thank you for the kind gesture, Edward. C’mon everypony, let’s go to the Castle.” My student told everyone.
“Would you like to help in carrying him?” Edward’s Luna asked my sister softly as she smiled looking down at Quill. “He looks like you could hit him with a log and he wouldn’t wake up.” She giggled. “I have just the room for you two if you don’t mind?”
“Try… Over twelve steel beams, imbued with weight magic to make them heavier than the fucking Canterlot Castle itself. Cause Jesus, if you wake him up now, not even you Edward could stop the bad day ahead of us all. I mean it scared the literal and metaphorical shit out of Blue Blood back in our world.” Acnologia said, before trying to and failing to pick up the passed out Dragon Slayer. “Christ how heavy is this little shit?!” He strained.
“You’re not going to be able to pick anything up man. Your just a projection and not a solid embodiment. You’d have to be separated from Quill completely before you can even try that and I don’t recommend it as your the other half of the Apocalypse Dragon,” Edward explained as he leads us through the lower levels of the castle. I didn’t recognize any of the areas we went through. “I can give you a body if you want but I also have to talk with Quill on it first.” We reached a large wooden door, I recognized this as the study where Twilight and I practiced before I sent her to Ponyville. “This will do as suedo sleepover area until we can get you all individual rooms. We have some foreign dignitaries staying with us and none of the other rooms are prepped. Sorry,” he turned to me. “Would you like to stay with Quill and Luna or with the others?”
“I’d like to make sure my student and the rest of the Elements of Harmony are safe for the time being. Plus it’s as Acnologia says, wake Quill up and you destroy a whole lotta shit.” I whisper to Edward.
“As you wish. There are pillows and sleeping bags in the room for when the girls come for training and extra blankets in the closet. The study has its own washroom and full bath,” he explained. “If you need anything ask the staff or ring the bell. Luna’s let’s get Dragon Boy into a proper be. We’ll set you two up in mine and Luna’s old bedroom. Had to upgrade once we found out about the twins,” he turned to others but then turned around and gave a warm smile. “Good night and have pleasant dreams.” He turned again and I was left with my own party while Edward’s variants followed him.
I smiled softly and walked into the large room filled with sleeping bags, pillows and blankets for all of us. While we were setting up, Gilda had passed out and Zirconis caught her and made her sleeping place with Mali and slept next to them. I saw the look Cadence had and knew that Zirconis had a crush on Gilda. I chuckled silently and got into my own sleeping bag, after a few minutes, the rest of us fell asleep, and following shortly, was me. I was overwhelmed with the need and sweet relief of rest.
