"What the fuck are you doing in my dream?" says Michael annoyed. Luna just appeared out of nowhere in front of him. She trots up to him and says "To clear things up. Why you just leaved us without trying to calm her down?"

Michael sits down at a bench (its a dreamworld!) and says "Well, I need just a longer vacation..."

"A vacation?"

"Yes, in my world, before I ended up here, I was fighting for three days for my life, then I was almost raped by Alma, then I was teleported into this world, then I suffered various hallucinations and defeated Alma's appariations, then the griffons, then I was impaled by a tentacle, then the Replica. And at last Celestia said that she loves me, but I can't love her back because I don't have romantical feelings for her. Do you know how I feel?!" exclaims Michael.

Luna lowers her head. She knows now what Michael gone through. But she doesn't know how he feels.

"No..."

"I feel like I'm a piece of meat!" says Michael.

Lunas bursts out in laughter. "What's so funny?" groans Michael, "I meant it serious!"

Luna wipes some tears from her eyes with her hoof. Then she says giggling "Okay... I will say that to my sister... it's time for waking up! I will visit now your friend..."

"WTF???"

Michael opens his eyes. He lies on the couch of the library. He stands up and stretches his body. Some bones are popping in his body. The sun is already raising and he hears a yawn from the upper floors of the library. The sunshine wakes Twilight and Spike up. Michael then hears yelling out from the basement.

"EVER HEARD OF PRIVACY?"

Point Man beams out from the basement and says "That freakin' U.S. navy blue aldicorny visited me! IN MY MIND! And she didn't even asked!"

Michael facepalms and says to himself "Luna, Luna... now she learned to never visits his dreams again..."

Twilight hears Point Man's yelling and gallops down the stairs "What happened?!"

Point Man looks to her. Twilight takes some steps back in shock as he sees his face. His face shows totally unleashed rage. Point Man exclaims "I was dreaming as suddenly that blue pony-bird-unicorn-princess-of-whatever-thingie appeared in front of me. At first I thougth it was normal but then she said 'Don't worry! I'm really in your dream.'. I couldn't believe what I just heard, so then I shouted Right.Into.Her.Face. 'GET YOUR ASS OUT FROM MY MIND!'. She flown away in shock, then I waked up!"

Twilight wears a shocked expression. Then she says "You said... Shouted to her? 'Get your ass out from my mind!'? But why are you so upset? It's her duty to visit other dreams! And everypony likes that!"

"Then I am one of those 'ponies' who don't want to be visited. It's absolutely not her business what she can find in my brain!" groans Point Man, "That's just a slump in personal privacy!"

Twilight thinks about this statement, then she says "Hmm... in some cases you are right... Well, lets just have our breakfast!"

After the breakfast, Point Man and Michael decides to walk around in Ponyville. As they are walking through the streets, almost every pony smiles and waves a hoof to them. "If you want, we can split up and each of us can enjoy his free time alone!"

Point Man groans. He is still a little bit upset about the unwelcome guest in his dream. "I will take it as a yes," says Michael, "I will go to Applejack. I miss her pies."

As he walks out from Ponyville to Sweet Apple Acres, he can hear a jet sound. But the sound doesn't approach him. He looks up to the sky and spots a rainbow-coloured trail. "Aha... Rainbow Dash..." mutters Michael. He jumps over the fence of the farm and knocks at the door of Applejack's house. After a while, the door is opened by a little filly.

Applebloom.

"Oh hi Mishel'! Ah'm so happy to see ya'! Ah'm sure ya'r here for a applepy'! Sorry, but Applejack is workin' on tha farm!" says Applebloom happily. Michael is surprised "Yes... but how do you know?"

Applebloom giggles "Silly, evrypony comes here for a pie and..."

*BOOOM!*

A great rainbow-coloured explosion occurs in a height of 300 metres in the sky. Then the explosion is surrounded by rainbow-coloured rings. Applebloom's jaw drops "A Sonic Rainboom..."

Michael turns around and spots the explosion, too. He shrugs and turns back to Applebloom "Well... okay. Now about the Applepie..."

Appleboom shakes her head and says "Hm...? Ah... Sorry..." and she trots back into the house. After a while, she comes back with a basket in her mouth. In the basket are three applepies. Michael says "Thank you... how much it costs?"

"10 bits, tha' basket is on tha' house!" says Applebloom.

Michael gives her 10 bits, says "Goodbye and send greetings to Applejack," and he starts to walk back to the village. On the way, he spots Rainbow Dash trotting up to him. She looks happy. Michael tries to smile but it fails as Rainbow Dash asks him "Aaaaand? What do you think about my Sonic Rainboom?"

Michael tries to find the right words, then he says...

"I witnessed bigger and louder explosions."

Rainbow Dash eyes widen in shock. Then she shakes her head and says "Aww... you're lying!"

"No, I'm not lying. I'm just not surprised... do you want a piece of applepie?" and he offers her some applepie. After a while, they both are sitting on a bench the park of Ponyville, eating the applepie. Michael realizes that he bought too much pie and a applepie must be eaten in a fresh state. So he eats the pies together with Rainbow Dash. She asks "The last time I showed you my tricks, you get bored. Why?"

Michael swallows a piece of the pie, then he says "That's easy to explain. Your put your tricks in a pointless order. They are cool, of course. But just let us think of music. The parts in the music are put in a harmonic order. While practicing your tricks, just think you compose a piece of music. Start with something slow, then go faster. In the middle of your show gear up in overdrive. And in the end do your sonic rainboom."

Her eyes are lighten up. She never hears this tip before. "Thanks you very much! Do you think I will become a wonderbolt? They are the best flyers in whole Equestria!" says Rainbow Dash.

"If your tricks are good enough, then just send a application to them!" explains Michael while taking a bite in the pie.

"Application? Just send a application, that's all?" asks Rainbow Dash dumbstruck, "But... how I write a application?"

"Inform yourself, Just go to the library, borrow a book about writing formal letters and..." says Michael but he is interrupted by Rainbow Dash "Uuu... egghead stuff!"

Michael groans and says "Even the Wonderbolts had to do egghead stuff to become famous!"

Rainbow Dash ears are dropping as she hears this. She opens her mouth to say something but suddenly they both are hearing panicked screams.

Applejack and Big MacIntosh are galloping down a hill, screaming all the time.

"A DRAGON! A DRAGON!" yells Applejack. And then a big figure flies up behind the hill...

A Armacham Helicopter.  It flies directly up to Ponyville.

Michael stands up and activates his comlink to Point Man "Hey, come in! We have a little problem here!"

Point Man answers him "Spot that 'problem', too! I am on my way to the library!"

Rainbow Dash looks in awe and fear at the flying thing. Applejack stops in front of Michael, panting heavily. She gasps "We must inform tha' princesses... Huuuff!"

Big MacIntosh keeps running to Ponyville.

"What is that thing, Michael?" asks Rainbow Dash. But Michael doesn't answere her question. He stands up and says "You can have the rest of the applepies! I must go now!" And he sprints back to the library... Applejack follows him.

Point Man's PoV

Point Man walks through Ponyville. He heads for nowhere, just walking around for searching tactical position if the town is under attack.

Suddenly, a pink blur beams up to him. Point Man instantly unholsters his pistol and aims at... Pinkie Pie, who stops as she realizes that he thinks he is attacked. She giggles "Don't worry! I'm... WE are here to cheer you up, you silly! I saw that my cupcakes didn't make you smile, so now we are trying a different way to make you smile!"

Point Man groans and holsters his pistol "You can try, but it will not work..."

She starts...

Point Man looks dumbstruck at the scene before him. Pinkie Pie smiles to him and asks "And... are you happy?"

Suddenly, Point Man hears a familiar sound. He turns to the source of the sound.

A Armacham helicopter. It heads to the library.

He starts to sprint, leaving a stunned and heavily shocked Pinkie Pie. Not even her Smile song makes him smiling.

Point Man hears Michael through his comlink "Hey, come in! We have a little problem here!"

He says back "Spot that 'problem', too! I am on my way to the library!"

In less than 10 seconds, he arrives at the library. He bursts through the door, unholsters his pistol.

A feminine voice asks "Where's Michael...?"

Michael's PoV

The first he notices at the library is the golden chariot. He bursts open the doors and spots... the princesses, Twilight Sparkle, Point Man and Spike. Two Royal Guards are with them. The Royal Guards are saluting to Michael as he steps into the library. Princess Celestia stands up from the couch and says "I'm so sorry, Michael..."

"Shut up and listen. A helicopter flies to Ponyville. I don't know what they want but we should prepare for the worst!" says Michael and walks to the couch, taking his Combat Shotgun. Luna trots up to him and snarls "How DARE you to say 'Shut up' to a princess?!"

Michael just shrugs.

The helicopter approaches the library. But instead of landing or attacking the tree, three passengers are lowering themselves with ropes down, three unarmed Replica Soldiers, one of them doesn't wear a helmet. This Replica says something to the other Replicas, which are nodding. The Replica walks to the door of the library without the other Replicas.

"Lock that door!" commands Princess Celestia. One of the Royal Guards, a unicorn, locks the door with his telekinesis.

The Replica tries to open the door but it doesn' budge. A grin appears in his face and what happens then, that isn't expected by anyone, not even by the princesses or by Michael and Point Man.

The Replica just walks through the door like it's not there...

Everyone can get a good sight at the intruder. He has short brown hair. A little round scar is on his forehead. His eyes are grey. And to their horror, red smoke engulfes the body of the man.

Point Man recognizes instantly who the man is.

"What the hell... I thougth I killed you!" says Point Man annoyed.

The man smiles "Yes... my brother. You killed me. I didn't like that. But I am reborn."

"Who are you?" asks Princess Celestia.

The man looks up to her and says "Forgive me my rudeness. My name is Paxton Fettel and I am his brother. I am here to send a message to you, Princess Celestia."

She takes some steps back "How... know you my name? And what for a message?"

"Nothing is impossible for a son of Alma," he looks up to the rest and closes his eyes, "And this is Luna, your sister. Huh... I feel another personality in her. It wants to break out. And this is Twilight Sparkle, your... faithful student. And this is Spike, her assisstant. The last one is... Applejack..."

Princess Celestia is surprised and shocked at once. She feels great might in him... even more than in Discord.

Mind-reading...

He opens his eyes and says "Now I will say the message. Princess Celestia, this is you last chance. Come with me, work together with Armacham and nothing will happen to your folk. If you refuse... well, let's just say you will regret your refusing!"

Princess Celestia's face shows anger "If you dare to hurt any of my subjects... I always take care of my subjects! Royal Guards! Arrest him!" The pegasus Royal Guard nods and rushes up to Paxton...

"Oh, you wanna play the hero? Okay!" he says smiling and he stretches his right arm to the Royal Guard. A red beam emerges from his hand and holds the Royal Guard at his throat. The princesses are gasping in shock. Point Man shouts "Stop that! Let him down!"

But Paxton just smiles and says "I really want to know how it feels to be in the body of a mystical creature..." And with that, he dissolves in red dust. The dust flies into the body of the Royal Guard. He falls to the ground, shaking his head to the sides. Then he stops. Red smoke comes out from the body of the Royal Guard. Princess Celestia can't believe what she just saw... she asks "... F-Ferrum (that's the name of the Royal Guard)... are you alright?"

"Hehehe... I'm not Ferrum...anymore," speaks the Royal Guard with the voice of Paxton. Everypony gasps in shock. Michael just watches the scene. Point Man just facepalms.

"Mmmh... that's how it feel to be a pegasus... but I feel...naked," says the Royal Guard.

"Let him free!" commands Celestia. The possessed Royal Guard smiles...

"Okay!"

Point Man whispers to Michael "Let's find cover behind the couch... this is going to be real dirty!" and they both are crouching behind the couch... A red spider-web like muster appears on the fur of the Royal Guard. His eyes are spilling out...

*SPLAT!*

The whole body of the Royal Guard explodes, sending blood, guts and crushed bone pieces in every direction through the library. Even the princesses are soaked with the red mass. Twilight and Applejack are starting to hyperventilate, Spike faints and the princesses are letting out a yelp of fear. Then Paxton materializes at the place where the Royal Guad exploded. He smiles "He's free!" and he starts to laugh. Michael and Point Man didn't get hit by the gore. They both are standing up and looking at the mess.

Paxton stops laughing as the another Royal Guard gets the order from Celestia to pin him down with a spell. The unicorn Royal Guard starts to summon energy in his horn... and he stops with that as Paxton holds the unicorn's throat with the same red beam, but this time with his left hand. Then he holds up his open right hand and he clenches this hand to a fist...

*SPLAT!*

The unicorn meets the same gruesome death like the pegasus but without the possession. The Princesses are falling on her haunches in shock. Paxton turns to them "I could do this the same on you with no problems..."

As Michael hears this , he exclaims "When you even think of...!," he rushes up to Paxton and lungs out with his right arm, to break his nose... and he finds himself holding by Paxtons red telekinetic beam. Princess Celestia yells "IF YOU DARE TO HURT HIM...", stands up and gallops up to Paxton. She lowers her head to shoot a great telekinetic beam at Paxton with her horn. The last time she did this was as she fought Queen Chrysalis. But like Michael, Paxton stops her summoning by holding her at her throat with his telekinetic.

"I'm not finished, yet!" says Paxton, "So, you come with me or not, princess? It would be a shame if I kill a... goddess!"

Celestia struggles in his telekinetic grip and says "...No!"

Suddenly, Paxton stops holding Michael and Princess Celestia. "Good, then it's not my business anymore... I wish you all a... wonderful day. Especially you, brother and Michael Becket... this is propably not the last time we see us...," says Paxton and he turns around.

Then he takes a deep breath and says "A war is coming, I've seen it in my dreams. Fires sweeping through the earth, bodies in the streets, cities turned to dust."

"What?" says Celestia confused.

"Retaliation..." says Paxton with a deep voice.

Point Man waves with his hands "Yeah, yeah... I already know this fairytale!"

Paxton says "Before I forget it... I have something you might want to watch."

He opens his pocket and takes out a USB-Flashdrive and throws it to Point Man, who catches it with his right hand.

Then Paxton just walks to the locked door and right through it. He spots the chariot and he starts to grin. Turning around and looking to the princesses inside the library, he pulls the pin of a grenade and throws the grenade into the golden chariot...

*BASH!*

The golden chariot bursts in thousand pieces...

A ladder falls from the still waiting helicopter and he climbs up the ladder up. Then the helicopter flies away, back from where it cames...

Michael crouches to the panting Celestia and asks "Is everything alright?"

"Yes... he didn't hurt me... but how did he find out that I'm a deity?" mutters Celestia.

Point Man says "But he could kill you with ease!"

"How did he find us?" whispers Luna shocked. Point Man turns to her and says "My freaking brother is able to track down the psychic signs of psionics... that means YOU! Armacham will use him as a detector for psionics. That means you all can't hide from him."

Silence. That shocks everypony in the room. Twilight starts to sob quietly.

Michael asks "Tia... sorry that I wasn't there for you when you needed me... But I have a question. You are immortal, right? Which type of immortal? The uber-immortality or the just never getting old immortality?"

Princess Celestia wipes some tears from her face with her hoof and turns to Michael. She never heard this question before. Then she says "Something with...both...". She can't hold the urge back. Suddenly, she hugs Michael with her wings. And for the first time, Michael wraps his arms around her and pulls her thight on his body... and...

And he pulls her up on her legs. She stumbles a little, but Michael keeps her standing. He says "The situation is death-serious. I will go back to the castle and secure you 24/7! Aaah... shit Paxton destroyed your chariot..." and he unwraps himself from her hugging wings.

Point Man takes the word "I will go back to the castle, too. We have our APC and we will just drive back! But under one condition...," and he turns to Luna, "Never visit me in my dreams again..."

Princess Luna winces slightly and nods.

Then Point Man examines the USB-Flashdrive "I wonder what information are on this thing..."
