Non-Sequitur Adventures of a Pair of Loose Canons.

I looked at the face of the worst enemy I ever had and immediately was overcome with rage.  Of all the people to get sent to this world other then me it HAD to be Cain.  I knew he would be up to his old tricks again so I quickly worked out a myriad of responses I could give to maintain the credibility I had with my friends.  I couldn't be sure what sort of lies Cain had been spouting off, or god forbid he changed in the last few months and started telling the truth, so I knew I would have to take a reactionary stand.  As

"Well look what we have here.  It's been awhile hasn't it Cean?"

"It has hasn't it?  I didn't know you got sent here too.  How long have you been here?"  I noticed a glint of hatred sneak past Cain's poker face.but he continued on as if all was well.

"Oh I've been here for a few weeks now.  I just got to Ponyville a couple hours ago or so.  I've been here chatting with Twilight and her friends since they all gathered up here!"

"Really?  Well welcome to Ponyville.  It's a shame you didn't show up around here.  I would have been able to help you get acquainted with the place!"

At that moment Rainbow Dash spoke up saying, "See Cain?!  I told you Cean wasn't a jerk.  I'm sure whatever got between you two in the past is water under the bridge to him."

Hah.  Stupid Cain you must be slipping.  You didn't really think I'd show up guns blazing did you?  "I'm hurt.  Here we are in a totally new world and yet you still hate me Cain?  I was hoping we could be friends but I guess if you're still up to your same old tricks it'll be hard to get through to you."  Check. and. mate.

"I guess this place changed you too then.  The Cean I remember absolutely hated me for no reason at all." You clever girl.

It was at that moment that a light of realization dawned on Twilight as she caught the meaning of my statement. Oh thank god I thought she missed that. "Wait, Cean, what did you mean when you said he's up to his same old tricks?"

I saw, much to my pleasure, Cain seethe with anger.  Unfortunately he hid it quickly and as everypony in the room was looking at me, only I noticed.  I weighed my options and decided to continue with being vague in an effort to reduce his credibility while restoring my own which he had tried to break.  "Well don't let this ruin your opinion of him, but back on our old world Cain and I were at odds with each other almost constantly because his morals were considerably looser then mine.  He is right though in that I changed since I got here.  I became unquestionably forgiving of past mistakes because of how much of a turnaround Discord and Chrysalis made."

Pinkie, who up to this point had been remarkably silent finally exploded in a fury of excitement and barely understandable gibberish.  I took that as my cue to let Twilight know I was going to type out my report of what I found in the Everfree and she was welcome to join me if she wanted to.  I left Cain at the mercy of whoever decided to remain in the room with him, knowing he had no chance of ruining my credibility at this point.  I walked back to my room of the library, set my laptop up, and prepared to actually type things out when she walked in to the room and closed the door with her magic.

"Alright Cean you never EVER type out your reports.  You always just let everypony who wants to watch your memories directly.  What's wrong that you wanted to speak to me alone?"

I sighed and smiled at how perceptive Twilight had become over the last few months.  Looking up at her with a calm expression I closed my eyes and said, "well... it's because I'm worried Cain is going to do something really really bad.  When I said he had loose morals back on our world that was a partial lie.  He is, simply put, a horrible person.  When I mentioned we were at odds with each other that was also a partial lie.  He used and manipulated whoever he needed to to get ahead in life and even went so far as to blackmail people.  When I was introduced to him I immediately listed him as public enemy number one and I ended up getting him expelled.  I don't know what happened to him after that but I imagine he made a name for himself in some sort of illegal dealings.  It would definitely fit his Modus operandi."

Silence reigned between us and I plastered a look of regret on my face as I opened my eyes.  Twilight saw my expression and immediately moved forward to embrace me.  "It's ok Cean.  I guess I can help you deal with him... How do we deal with him?"

I returned Twilight's embrace and thought for a minute.  How do we actually deal with him?  I was completely unaware that other humans were even being sent to Equestria.  I'll have to talk to Celestia and make sure she lets me know... Wait that's it!  It dawned on me that there was a very simple solution to solve this mess.  All I had to do is get Celestia to look through his memories of Equestria.  I had no idea though what his abilities were since he already had a crystal lattice much like my own on his arm... only his was red instead of blue like mine.  He didn't have a destiny brand though so I knew he hadn't discovered the focus of his powers yet.
