A Void portal opened up at the ruins of the Castle of the Two Sisters. Suddenly out tumbled a man in a long hooded red coat. He had long braided blonde hair and amber eyes. The man rubbed the back of his head and then looked around at his surroundings.

“Stupid Zoro, his void portal sent me to the wrong world,” the man stood up and stretched. He dusted off his pants and looked around. “The old castle aye. This means I’m not too far from Ponyville. Wonder what kind of world this one is?”

The man began to explore the ruins of the castle to find out the period in which he’d landed and to see what race the local ponies of this world were. He remembered the layout of the castle from his own world like the back of his hand and luckily most of the other ruins he came across matched it. He soon found the library and started to go through one book after another. He found out that there were Grimm in this world and that the inhabitants were all human but classed by a blood class system.

“Interesting! They have magic here and Grimm but no huntsmen. I was starting to think this was Adam’s world when I first came across the word Grimm,” the man closed the book and placed it back on the shelf that he pulled it from. He smirked evilly. “I’m going to have to thank that mossed haired swordsman the next time I see him.” The man started to walk towards the exit and into the forest but before he got too far in he stopped and pulled out a white and gold mask and placed it on his face. “There now no one will be able to sense me coming.”

{POV change Winter}

I had spent several hours last night integrating the gravity dust to my spear, not only does it give me the ability to control it, but it made it as light as a feather, but I could easily change that, by using the dust on my wrist.

And as a pleasant surprise when I woke up I noticed in the back of my coat, Rarity added a place where I could use to hold my spear.

"Ok let's try this again," I said to myself, I had been trying to master gravity dust, it has proven to be a rather difficult dust to control, or at least for me.

I raised my right hand once more, and the dust glowed, then the spear shook a little before lifting into the air. 'Ok good so far.' I thought then the spear flew towards me, and as it got closer I caught it effortlessly.

Finally, though it still needs work, before I could use it effectively, then I used the bracelet on my wrist to return the spear to its normal weight, before putting it on my back.

I then got out of my room and felt like hunting today so I left the boutique to go to the town hall, but as I walked through town I could feel
something was different in the air, it made me on edge.

But after a few minutes of walking, I reached townhall to see it mostly empty during my previous visits, it had a few people here and there but I didn't really look at them.

I walked up to the mayor's assistant desk like I usually did, and asked. So what Grimm will I be hunting today?"

I was making my way through the forest while I looked around I noticed there was very little activity around me. “Quiet here. There must have been a large scale Grimm attack on Ponyville not too long ago,” I noticed a void signature coming from the direction of Ponyville. I tilted my head slightly, “Hmm… looks like the one keeping things under control is in town.” I smirked. “Let’s head that way.”

I restarted my journey and made my way to the local Ponyville. I felt a sense of heavy negativity heading toward the town. Looks like a large Grimm is looking for a meal of pony. I really don’t want to get involved in the local displaced’s problems it looks like there to far from the Forest to make it in time. Looks like I won’t be able to keep a low profile.” I huffed as I hung my head in disappointment. “Oh well, Seal of Sin: Sloth Release.” I sped off in the direction of the Grimm.

I was able to come upon the Grimm in no time at all. It resembled a large Gorilla but with bone armor.

“A Beringel aye. I’ve never faced one of you guys before,” I smirked.

ROAAOR!!!!

I cleaned out my ear and then looked back at the beast. “Really scary. You have me shaking in my boots. Let’s dance monkey!” I charged forward and activated my aura and decided to have a little physical match with the brute for a while.

But just as we were about to make contact a giant spike of ice came outta nowhere impaling the grim right in his back, and pinned it to the ground as it went straight through.

“Hey man, what’s the big idea of ruining my fun?” I growled at the man behind the fading Grimm. “Not every day that ya can face a Grimm ya know.”

"Oh sorry didn't see you there!" I heard someone yell it was a young man's voice, and from behind the disappearing Grimm a man who I could only guess was 17 stood there, he stood at 5 foot 9 with silver hair that reached his waist, he wore a white trench coat, with a dark blue trim with three golden button on each side just over a pocket, and on his head he wore a white trilby hat with a blue ribbon around it, and he wore white dress pants, and white oxford shoes.

On his back was a black spear that looked like it was from Bloodborne, on his right wrist I noticed a silver bracelet with a black crystal along the middle, and as my eyes meet his they were light blue. "Good evening, how are you?" He asked while taking off his hat, and did a small bow.

“Hmmm…So this is your world.” I took my own bow and stood back up. “Sorry for my intrusion here and nice to meet. May I have your name, my good sir?”

He raised an eyebrow. "My name is Winter Storm, and what do you mean by my world?" He asked as he put his hat back on.

“I’m like you young man,” I remarked. He must be very new to displacement. “Only, I came here by mistake instead of returning to my home. You’re of RWBY much like my nephew. Oh, forgive me. My name is Edward Elric.” I slightly removed my mask to reveal my face before placing it back on. “Are you the only huntsman or are there more of you here?”

"It's just me, but I thought other displaced had to be summoned to go to another world?" He asked me with his arms crossed.

“You’re not completely wrong but there are those out there among us that have evolved to the state of Void Dwellers and travel the Void between worlds willingly like the merchants do,” I explained. “I’m an exception to this. I have the power to travel willingly but I can’t be a Void Dweller due to my connection with another Void Dweller. My lines were crossed somewhere and I ended up here instead of home.” I stretched. “Figured I could explore this new world while I wasn't under a contract, if you’ll let me.”

"That fine." He told me then he looked behind him, before looking back to me to say. "Let me lead you to town I know a place where we can talk and grab something to eat if you want." He told me, gesturing with his thumb.

“Sure, and judging by your reaction. You’re keeping your displacement a secret, for the time being, aren’t you,” I crossed my arms as I followed Winter into town.

"Yes, when I was brought here I also got my OC's memories if there's anything you want to know about me just ask." He said as he turned around, and started walking.

“I’m guessing that ice is your semblance. Is there anything I should know before I meet the locals?” I tilted my head.

"Well the only things I can think of is that the people here have no clue what aura is, and very few of them can stand up to Grimm, which is why I became a bounty hunter." He told me.

“Wow, so really you are the only one of your kind here. That really sucks dude,” I put my arms behind my head as we walked into town. “So, got a crush on a pony yet?” I smirked evilly.

"Pony?" He asked me.

“You do realize these worlds are based out of my little pony right?” I raised an eyebrow under my mask.

"Never watched it." He told me as he led me to a restaurant.

“Oh wow do you have a lot to learn kid,” I shook my head.“What is this place?”

"A place Rarity took me with Sweetie Belle, they serve good food." He told me as we walked inside.

"Table for two please, and is there somewhere we won't be interrupted?" He asked the waiter.

"Yes, there are seats in the back." He told him, then the waiter took us to our seats, and we both ordered drinks.

“So is there anything you want to know about me personally,” I asked as I took off my mask. I forgot about the pressure I can put on the weaker willed and several people in the restaurant passed out. “Oops,” I open a storage area and pulled out a suppression ring and slid it on my finger. “That’ll do.” I turned back to a stumped Winter.

"What just happened to them?" He asked me.

“Sorry, about that,” I laughed nervously. “That’s the power I generate when not wearing a suppressor to hide my presence when in other worlds. It’s annoying having to constantly fight the princesses or explain who you are to them so I wear these things the hide my power and presence.” I took a swig of my drink. “It happens when you for over fifteen thousand years though.”

He looked at me with wide eyes then rubbed his forehead before pushing it out of his mind. "Ok then is there anything you want to know about me or this world?" He asked me.

“Do you need help in training others to use aura?” I drank some more of my drink. “And do you use actual dust here or a substitute of some kind?”

He shows me the inside of his trench coat to reveal several small cylinders of dust, then he had a sad look on his face as he asked. "Do you know how to turn off semi-passive or passive semblances?" He asked me.

“Yes actually, but it’s really difficult to do,” I activated my aura on my hand. “Ever heard of Haki from the anime One Piece?” I held my hand out and intensified the aura on it while I condense till it blackened my whole arm. “It’s all about concentration. The concept of Haki is very similar to that of Aura. You can learn how to turn your semblance on and off through condensing your aura down to this state.” I held out my arm. “Anyone can do this but it’s best learned through hours of both physical and mental training.” I deactivate my aura and pull a flask out of my pocket and took a swig before returning it to my pocket. “But why? What reason do you have for wanting to know how to do this?”

He sighed before taking off his glove and held it out towards me. When I touched it his skin was ice cold.

“Hmm… you have so much power that you can’t turn your semblance off,” I said as I took a closer look at the kid's hand. “I don’t envy that kid but I know it’s a daily struggle.”

"Its started when my OC was five when his aura first manifested, he could no longer feel the warmth of the sun, then at age six his semblance revealed itself in a rather unfortunate way, his entire body became as cold as ice, as he felt the cold his semblance ran wild freezing his entire home, can you imagine what it's like not feeling anything but the cold, at times my OC’s life seems more real than my original, even the memories of when I was a normal person seems like a dream, he could feel nothing else not even the warmth of others." He said sadly.

I placed my elbows on the table and leaned forward while interlacing my fingers. “Kid you are the character you came up with. Whoever you were back on the earth you came from doesn’t exist anymore and you most likely will never be able to go back. As for not feeling anything, I get that too. I went insane for nearly two hundred plus years in cases in stone while my wife slowly but assuredly succumb to her darkness and then she was sealed away and I was forced to watch that and for fifteen hundred years, all I could do was watch on a pedestal in a garden.” I took off my lockets and open them to reveal the Princesses of my home standing next to me. “Not being able to hold or be held. Having memories that aren’t yours but feel as if they are. It’s hard. The only thing we can do is talk about it , try to make as much sense of a possible, and then try and move on. Find solace in the life you have been given the chance to live.”

I tapped the silver locket and showed Winter the picture of my twins. “My kids. Born only about a month or so ago. I nearly lost Luna after the were born.” I sighed. “I’m rambling now though,” I picked the lockets up and slipped them back around my neck. “Back to you.”

"So how do I learn this Haki I never watched one piece?" He asked me.

I shook my head. “I never learned true Haki just the knockoff version of that aura grants you. You have to learn how to stretch your Aura while also condensing it to near-impenetrable levels. Meditating first then apply it while fighting someone who won’t kill you.” I tapped my head. “It’s all about us and our strength of will.”

"Stretching and condense out aura was never a subject in Atlas academy, so I have no idea how to do that." He told me.

I let out a sigh. “You know how to apply aura to your body, Right?”

His body was quickly wrapped in a white aura but quickly disappeared like in the show. "Yes I do."

“Can you restrict it to the point to where it’ll only cover certain areas of your body?” I held up my arm again and covered only it in red light. “Once you learn this then you compress it down. Imagine what happens to shrink wrap when it’s hit with heat.” My aura condensed down until my arm looked like my arm was made of a reddish-black metal.

"We were taught to wrap our aura around our entire body, we were never taught to cover only certain spots." He told me.

“The thing about being a Dispaced is you need to develop abilities that go beyond what we know from when we’re we normal humans. Learning this way allows you to use aura in very unconventional means,” I picked up a fork. “Even on things that aren’t alive.” I concentrated and applied it to the fork. The utensil glowed red. “A neat trick to know when you’re running low on dust or are just facing the lone Grimm.”

"Aren't you just using it as a conduit for your aura?" He asked me.

“In this sense, yes, but the end goal is to eventually be able to armor up your whole body and weapon. My nephew went as far as to even be able to project aura through physical contact. Sending it through a foreign body bypass the targets aura and doing internal damage,” I set the fork down. “Back to why I’m explaining this. Haven’t you ever noticed that when you’re aura runs low that your semblance starts to be affected too?”

"Yes, but my character has tried draining his aura and failed his body still remained cold, even doctors have wondered why my blood hasn't turned to ice." He explained.

I shook my head. “Our semblances are also a reflection of some aspect of ourselves remember. My semblance is a reflection of how I wish for the many souls trapped inside my body to be able to experience the world but at the same time I still want to live so they must remain in me.” My shadow grew and next to me was a black copy of me. “These clones are completely independent but at the end of the day they must return to me.” The clone returns to my shadow. “Think kid. What about your OC’s story reflects his semblance? It’s not just about concentration, physical aspects, or mentality. You have to know yourself and who you are as your OC and not who you were before as just a story you came up with?” I pointed at the young hunter.

"My character was born during a blizzard and he was raised in the kingdom of Atlas, which is a frozen wasteland not much more than that, that relates to ice." He told me.

“Okay that’s your OC but what about yourself. OCs are usually reflections of how we want to be seen, you still retain your memories of when you were on earth. Think,” I pointed at Winter. “What influences did you have going on in your life that influenced you to create this guy.”

"Well for the semblance I really based it off the spring maiden’s powers, because I thought they were cool, but I don't know why the spring maiden has the power of ice doesn't make sense." He told me while shrugging.

“Winter into spring, my friend.” I threw a finger up into the air. “You have to remember there is still a short time where things are still freezing or cold as we transition into warmer weather. It’s also why the Fall maiden has fire powers. When Fall becomes winter. In a sense, all of the maidens have control over the basics of elements do to their magic in some manner. That’s the way I see it anyway. You might have magic yourself or be the very personification of Winter itself.”

"That almost makes me sound like some deity or something." He said jokingly as he chuckled.

“Your talking to a demon right now kid!” I said with a loud laugh. “As a prank on the sisters in the last world I was in I caused a solar eclipse and didn’t give them Their toys back until I got annoyed with Faust there.”

"Faust, I think Twilight mentioned that," Winter muttered to himself.

“That’s Celestia and Luna’s mother usually. She’s my mother-in-law back home. The air here is getting stale,” I stood up and crack my neck. I grabbed my mask and threw it into my bag. “Let’s go for a walk. I want to see more of this place and meet your friends.”

"Ok but if they ask just say your an old friend of mine that all so got transported here as well." He told me, as he stood up.

“Who me?” I pointed at myself. “Why I’m just a wandering Sage you met in the forest."

{Winter's POV outside the restaurant}

"I'll take you to meet Rarity first," I told him as I started leading him to the boutique.

“Fine with me. Hey, have you ever that of using gemstones in your clothing?” He asked inquiringly as we walked along.

"I have gravity dust in my bracelet and spear," I told him as I saw the boutique, and as I reached the door Rarity opened it.

"Oh Winter your back, and you’ve brought a friend with you." She said as she hugged me.

“Nice to meet you, madam,” Ed took a bow. “My name is Edward Elric and I’m just a passing Sage who had the good fortune to come across the Winter while in the Forest. Took a Grimm down that I had my eyes on.”

"And like I said before, I didn't see you there I was behind the Grimm," I said as Rarity let go, and lead us inside.

“You treated me to a drink so let’s call it even,” he smirked. “Nice shop. It reminds me of a few others I’ve visited before. You wouldn’t have to have a toolbox I could borrow would you Ms.Rarity? I need to do some maintenance on my limbs after little tussle I had not too long ago"

"I have some tools you could use, I used them to make my spear," I said as I took him to my room then gave him the tools I got from a blacksmith.

Edward looked at the tools. “These will do. Don’t freak out.” He turned me and I only looked with a raised brow. He sat down on a stool I had nearby and reached down and pulled up his pant leg to reveal a highly advanced prosthetic leg. He then proceeds to detach it to my shock. “Told you not to freak out kid,” he picked up a pair of pliers and a screwdriver and started to work on his own leg. Ed then reattaches his leg and stands on it for a bit. “Freaking Zoro and busting the damn thing. Thanks for the lone. Now what to do?”

"Well, you could look at my spear design see what could need improvement?" I asked him as ai pulled out a blueprint I had made while I was making the spear but I hadn't had time to add the gravity dust to it.

“Hmm…. I’m surprised this thing hasn’t fallen apart after one use. No offense,” he said with a bit of relief.

"It is also designed to shoot bullets made of ice," I told him, as I showed him the bullet chamber. "Also I don't have high-quality materials all the stuff I used came from a scrapyard," I told him

“Not a bad cobble, given what you have access to but why not ask Celestia or Twilight for some help in building it.” He asked seriously. “I can create quality materials for you to use and the machines you’d need to make the parts for whatever you need but at the end of the day it’s your weapon and you have to make it.”

"Well this spear has gotten me through some tough fights and it's held together, plus the rifle part is powerful plus I just integrated gravity dust to the design," I explained

“How about we start with uru or proto-adamantium for the spearhead and the bulk of the parts.” He said as he held up his hand and two metals appeared on my desk. One golden in color the other a bright silver.

A few ideas ran through my mind of possible designs that we could use." I have a few ideas." I told him

Edward’s arm popped open and outshot a pencil. The alchemist immediately went to work on altering the designs taking into account the other designs. “You like the spear concept but you need a way to fight at a distance. A spear is a mid-range weapon though. Have you thought about using the bayonet concept before or maybe a rifle with a bayonet on that changes into a spear?”

"Well no but now that you say that we could but can we give it the ability to spin like this spear so it can still create a tornado of first I use air dust and then ice when I throw in my semblance," I told him.

“You’ll need to be able to use two types of dust at once at least. Two ideas come to mind in this. A quick change action or a set of dual weapons that can combine together,” Ed placed his hand on his head on his mechanical hand. “Both features have their upside but the one with the most downsides is the quick changes. It requires constant maintenance and upkeep while it has a tendency to jam in the field. The more dust types the action changes between wears it out and breaks easily.”

"I only need one dust chamber but let me draw what I thinking real quick for you," I told him as I grabbed a price of paper, and started drawing.

“You weapon. You design it and build it. All I’m here for is to provide the raw materials and the machinery needed to forge it. Oh, idea,” he held his right arm up and out of it came what looked like a cloud of liquid metal. The metal soon took the shape of a familiar alchemist but at nearly one-tenth the scale. “This is a chibi-Ed. Made from my nanomachines. I can leave them behind after I Leave a world. The can replicate by taking in raw material and change into anything you might need. Another upside is they’re nearly indestructible due to being made of proto-adamantium and uru.”

“Hello!” The chibi said as it floated over to my shoulder.

"Hello, little guy," I said as I looked over at him, and then Ed began explaining what these metals were, then I looked back at the uru if I remembered correctly Thor’s hammer was made of the stuff. "I think I'll just need the uru though it might be fun to have a goldlike weapon," I told him.

“Alright,” he stood up with a smirk. “But I’ll leave you with some proto-adamantium to/ You got your designs done and somewhere away from prying eyes? Just so ya know that Chibi is yours. It can change into whatever you need to make weapons and refine dust crystals. He’ll come in handy once I'm back home. He can even be a weapon in a pinch. Though don’t push him too hard as the nanites do have a limited intelligence once I leave the world they’re left in. Still, have a small mental link to them but not much of one. One more thing,” he pulled out a pocket watch and tossed it over to me. It had a dragon with a Star of David on the outer cover. “My token. It doubles as a video caller to others that have it and a minor delivery system across the void for minor items.”

"Ok, that's useful to know," I said as I took it.

“Come on and let’s go see more of this town. I don’t usually get to walk around pure humans that often. My world is humans with pony features and every other world is anthro ponies. I like not being stared at or bowed at when I’m in public,” Ed commented.

"Sure but I haven't really been around town myself so I guess this will be a good change of pace," I said as we left the boutique.

“Have you broken Twilight yet?” Ed smirked evilly.

"What?" I asked him.

“Ya know, when she just stops talking mid-sentence and smoke comes out her ears or she just freezes up altogether,” he chuckled.

"No," I said casually.

“Wait till you piss her off. Now that’s funny as long as it’s not directed at you,” Ed let out a hard laugh as we approached the library. “She does a pretty good imitation of the Human Torch.” He knocked on the door.

Soon Spike came to the door.

“Hey, there little fella is your big sister here. I’m a traveling sage and heard from this guy,” Ed pointed at me. “That the librarian here was very skilled at magic.”

"Oh let me get her." He told us as we went inside.

While Spike went to get Twilight he muttered to me. “Is there anything I should be aware of about this Twilight?”

"I don't know her really well so I don't know," I told him.

“I’ll just play it on the down-low then,” Ed said calmly as Twilight came into the room led by Spike.

"Oh Winter you brought along a friend." She said with a smile as she sat down in a chair.

“Edward Elric at your service Ms. Sparkle,” Ed took a bow. “A traveling Sage that your friend saved from a Grimm while in the forest. Nice to make your acquaintance. I hear your quiet the well-rounded scholar in the realm of magic.”

"Why thank you." She said embarrassed. "So why did you came to visit?" She asked.

“No reason really. Just… passing through really.” He smiled passively. “I was given the wrong directions on my way home is all. I thought I'd take the chance to explore this little town you all call him. It’s quiet and it’s rather ah… a nice change than what I'm used to since my children were born.”

"Oh well, I hope you find your way home," Twilight said sincerely.

“I will be there in no time at all. What’s waiting a few hours compared to years of separation. I do miss my twins though,” he said cryptically as he walked over to a nearby bookshelf. “Hmm… Do you have any books on magical seals and souls?”

"Well um, I believe we do, let me take a look." Twilight said while getting off her chair, and started looking through the bookshelves, then came back with a white book." Here you go."

“Thank you dear,” Ed opened the book began to read. In less than ten seconds he was done. “Here you go,” he handed the book back to a frozen Twilight. “The concept of aura and magic seems to work pretty much the same here after all. Instead of tapping into their souls here the people naturally tap into the magic of this world through there blood. I can work with this,” Ed snapped as he turned to the frozen in place Librarian. “Oops. Hey, Spike, is she gonna be okay?”

"Yeah, she'll be fine." He told us, as he took her to another room.

"So what are you planning?" I asked him.

“This!” He held up his hand, and it crackled with red electricity. Above his hand in mid-air appeared a ring with a strange deep purplish colored stone in it. The gem also showing various other colors as the light hits it. Ed then tossed it to me. “It’s a mystic fire Topaz the I enchanted with me Seith magic to act a sealing stone for your Semblance. At least as a temporary cap until you master Haki anyways.”

“Woah!” The Chibi Ed said on my shoulder. ‘I totally forgot he was there.’

I gently took the ring before looking at it, then put it in my pocket.

“I have one more thing for you,” Ed said as he held up his left hand a strange magic circle appeared above it. Then a crystal ball came out of the circle. “If you’re familiar with Fairy Tail then I don’t really have to explain much. This is aDragon Lacrima that will grant you Dragon Slayer Magic when it’s infused into your body. What kind it’ll be I can’t really say as this is just Blank Dragon Slayer magic that’ll adapt to your body at the time you use it. Now,” he dropped the crystal into my hands but nothing happened. “I placed a very powerful seal on the Lacrima so it won’t fuse with you until specific conditions are met by you. One. You have to have a moderate mastery over Haki. And two. You have to be able to control your semblance without relying on that suppressor ring in your pocket. Know that these are the only conditions and how the magic will affect your body later on is beyond my control once in your body. Just know if you rely to heavily on the Dragon Slayer magic that’ll it’ll eventually consume you and change you into a dragon. Got it.” He pokes me in the chest with enough force to cause me to stumble back a bit.

"Ok I won't, thank you." I told him, as he handed me the orb.

“Let me give another piece of advice from a senior Displaced to a junior,” he said as we walked out of the Library. I placed the Lacrima in my pocket to keep it hidden. “Don’t hide the fact you’re a Displaced from those you care for. A mainly your closest friends and those you care for. When you disappear like we do there’s no telling how much time will pass in your world when you’re summoned away from it. Them know that you were summoned and didn’t just disappear on them for no reason will give them some peace of mind. Okay.”

I looked at the ground in thought then said. "I'll think about it." I told him as we returned to the boutique, and I had some second thoughts about what my spear wok be made of.

“Spit it out or I’ll have read your mind,” Ed jabbed.

"Instead of it entirely out of uru, I was thinking of adding pro-adamantium to it, and as for the magazine I am hoping that maybe the uru could enhance my ice bullets." I told him proto-adamantium was bassily the combination of carbonium and carbonadium which can absorb most forms of energy then unleash it in one attack.

“That’s what I wanted to do in the first place but it's your weapon and your building it! Like I Said before though, I’ll provide the raw materials and you machine it out. As far as the enhancement for your ice bullets goes, not much more can be done other than channeling the energy you build up from close combat into kinetic energy buets. You can channel it into your ice pulls giving them more off a bang like metal bullets.” Ed explained as he showed my a few diagram on how he can take the impacts with his arm and channel the force into and energy discharge from his fist. “Now, is there an open area that I can use to bring out the raw materials for you to use. Not to mention a place you can use Chibi Ed to his fullest abilities to transform. A place we won’t be seen seeing as how you want to keep displacement on the down low.”

"Well if you stay here for a bit, I can see if I've got enough money to buy a small building near the boutique, to use as my workshop." I said as I grabbed all my heavy bags of bits.

“I’m fine with that,” he threw a hand up. “Are the crusaders a thing in this world?”

"I have no idea what that is?" I told him confused.

“Rarity’s sister and her friends. Ya know Applejack’s little sister, Applebloom and then there’s their friend Scootaloo. There known for causing all kinds of trouble around town.” He explained. “Just be careful if you find yourself wrapped up with their shenanigans.”

"I have meet Sweetie Belle but no her friends well except her boyfriend Spike." I told him.

Ed just stared at me blankly. “Ah… um… okay. Yea… ah… just go pay for your building.” He nudges his hand in the air. “I hope Rarity won’t mind some company for a few minutes. Does she like tea here?”

"I don't know during most of my time I have been hunting grimm's, or working on my weapon, I spent two whole days working on my current spear with little rest." I told him as I walked out of the room but as I just got out of the doorway he said.

“Man kid, you really need to get to know those around you,” he muttered.

"I have been getting to know Rarity." I told him, as I finally left the boutique, when I got the town gall it was simple to purchase a small worksop next to the boutique which was perfect, then I returned, and I saw Ed, and Rarity drinking tea while chatting.

“Ed noticed me before Rarity and spoke up. “It has certainly been fun conversing with you Ms. Belle and feel free to keep those sketches for any further designs you might have in mind to finish them with. Our mtual friend has returned and Imust finish my business with the young lad and then get back to my journey home. Have a great day and good luck to you in all facets of your future endeavors be they financial or personal.” He bowed with a sly smirk and walked over to me. “Got your building?”

"Yes it's right next door." I told him as we walked out to see it, it was a two story building the paint on the wall had faded to the point to where it colorless, and there were four windows on the front side. "I know it's not much to look at but it'll do." I told him as I lead him inside, it appeared to have been used as a blacksmith shop once, because there was an old forge towards the back of the room, and there were armor, and weapon stands scattered around the place, as well as chests that might have old equipment or maybe ingots that I could give to the Chibi Ed, then finally there was a staircase which led to the next floor, which was maybe where the last owner slept.

“Old and dusty,” Ed wiped his finger across a nearby surface leaving a streak. “I like it. Reminds of my automail shop back home. Now, where do we start. Cleaning up first right?”

"Yes, and let's see what's in those chests might be something useful." I said as I walked over to one of them, there were a few invite of various metals in here, plus some old blacksmith equipment which could be useful.

“Looks like a good score,” Chibi-Ed chirped.

“Bulk up and start dusting,” Ed picked his mini-me up by the nape of his jacket. “This is your place to.” He tossed the Chibi up and let it float before throwing it a feather duster. We spent the next few hours getting the shop back into a mostly working order. Once we were finished Ed created some crates of various other materials for me. I can only assume they contain materials for weapons or items that I might make later on down the line. He then used his magic to make several bilots, ingots, and sheets of Uru and Proto-Adamantium. “This should be more than enough raw materials to do whatever your heart desires Winter. Just tell the Chibi what mahine you need and he’ll change into it. Fair warning though, don’t have him turn into more than three machines at a time. The nanites won’t be able to handle the strain of multiple task like that once I leave.”
"Ok so would you like to show examples of how he make metals, and turns into machines." I asked him.

“It’s hard to show you outside of just laying something in front of him and letting the nanites convert it into what you need. See the way the nanites work are the gather martial from what’s around them, basically the dust that’s in the air, then they condense it into a solid piece.” Ed explained as he took a nearby iron ingot and placed it in front of his chibi. “The more of the material you need the more it to give him to convert. It happens at the molecular level really. Very had to explain but the nanties basically manipulate atoms. Yea following me?”

"A little." I said as the Chibi grabbed the ingot.

The Chibi looked as it had just eaten a very satisfying meal and was rather round and puggy. “Basically he eats and converts it in his stomach and then spits it back out.” Ed sais as the Chibi spit up to equal size ingots, one gold and one silver. “Just because you give him metal or large quantities doesn’t mean you’ll always get the same amount back of the new material. You’ll usually get it if not a little less.”

"Ok can you turn into a 3d printer for me with a powerful laser." I told the chibi.

“On it,” Chibi Ed gave a thumbs up and changed his form to that of a large industrial size 3D printer.

“I’ll let you do your thing,” Ed commented as portal opened behind him. “I wish you luck in this world of yours Winter. And be sure and knock Rarity off her feet.” He jumped back in the portal and disappeared into the void. The portal closed and I was left with my shop, Chibi alchemist and a lot of raw material for a new weapon.
