"What are you doing out here silver...." Anton asked her politely Silver stared at Anton with crystal-looking eyes. Anton's eyes soften. "Silver...don't use those eyes...please...I've been having troubles with my family...and...those eyes remind me of my sister..." Silver's eyes harden. "Then why the hell did you come here?! Why did you-" Silver is cut off by Anton shouting at her "Because I wanted to get some things to try and save them! Celestia... a stallion tries to help his family and he gets chewed out in return!" Anton says whipping his head around to Silver. "Please just go Silver...i want to be alone." Silver replies "No. Anton... i want to hel-" Anton spins his whole body around in a blazing fury. "I said i want to be Alone!" Anton then throws his hoof, smacking Silver across the face. Silver screams and in seconds, Mal is at the door asking "What the hell is going on out he-" Mal sees the hoof mark across Silvers face. "You son of a B****!" Mal throws himself onto Anton and they start brawling on the ground. hooves are flying and Celestia runs out screaming "Stop You Two!" It gets out of hand when Mal pulls his revolver and puts it to the side of Anton's head. "I Can Kill You Anton...Right Here...Right Now." Mal states. Celestia smacks Mal's hand. Sending the revolver flying. The revolver smacks a stick and there's a Loud bang.
Anton falls silent and a pool of crimson blood pools around his chest.
A Crystal Empire Accident
Mal looks horrified as the pool of blood gets to his hooves, staining them. "Oh. My. God..." Mal stands silently staring at the growing puddle of blood. Anton manages to mumble out of his mouth "I hate you, go to hell Mal..." before he passes out from blood loss.
"is he...is he...Dead? " Silver is to tears when Mal snaps out of being confused and checks Anton's pulse. "Hes still alive...but we better hurry...he could die from blood loss any minute..."
Mal, Celestia, And Silver sprint to the hospital as fast as possible.
After Anton is stitched up and put in a hospital room, Mal meets with the doctors. "So doc... how long does he have..." The doctor replies seriously "He should be fine... when that gun went off it barely missed one of His major Arteries. it only cause a little bleeding, he should be out in 2 months. As well, we still need to take the bullet out...which might extend his stay..." "Celestia...but it looked like so much blood..it was pooling at my hooves..." Mal says shyly. Mal goes to enter Anton's hospital room. But stops as he hears the heart rate monitor slow down... he leaves, fighting back the tears, but turns around as he hears Silver's soft delicate voice say "Don't worry...he isn't going to die...the doctors just had to slow his heart down a little..." Mal enters the room. seeing Anton's lifeless body on the bed brings him to tears. "I can't look at him...he just brings back painful memory of last night..."the two ponies stand in silence until silver speaks "Mal...could I lay on your chest? I haven't gotten much sleep..." Silver asked Mal softly
"Yeah...thats fine..." Mal responds with a soft tone in his voice... The two ponies position themselves so that Mal can hear the heartbeat monitor loud and clear, and Silver listens to the strong pounding of Mal's strong heart.
And they both drift off listening to their friend's message of being alive.
A Crystal Empire Accident
Mal throws his hoof onto the bed "Don't you dare say that, you know your gonna be just fine. Have some faith man." Anton exhales loudly. "Celestia, I need a break... can you ask the doctor if I can go outside or to a window for a bit?" " I'll see what I can do..." Mal replied while trotting out the door.
Mal walked back into the room after a talk with the doctor. "He said you can walk, but don't force yourself up, or you could injure yourself further." Slowly, but surely Anton stood up, after a couple of weeks of lying down. He wobbled and almost fell down several times, but he was eventually able to limp out the door, he eventually started to gallop, "Your going to burn yourself out...please walk slower...I don't want you to get hurt..." Silver said to Anton after she met up with Mal. Anton slowed down a little, but was panting hard once he got to the room in the Crystal Empire he wanted to show them.
"Anton... please... slow...down!" Mal said catching his breath. " Why?" Anton gasped another breath, "This is the best!" Anton threw open the doors revealing a giant room filled with shelves upon shelves of books. Mal gasped at all the books. "Let's see if I can remember the right book..." Anton looks at the various books. "Which book are you looking for?" Silver asked. Just then the entire wall spun, revealing a bedroom, with a royal looking bed.
"Welcome to my bedroom, this was from when the empire fell..." Anton walked over to a small pedestal with a small locket sitting on the edge. "What's that?" Mal asked curiously. "Its a locket. My locket..." Silver curiously leans in and asks "Who are those two?" Pointing at two crystaly looking ponies, the stallion with short brown hair and a mare with beautiful baby blue long hair.
Anton stayed silent for a moment, then he answered her "These are my parents... "

Mal and Silver walk through the mirror that separates the human world from the pony world. Not knowing that they would fall, creating a giant SMASH. Anton hears the loud crash. He turns around to investigate and sees his two friends in a cluster of hooves and wings on the ground.
“What in Equestria are you two doing here?! Do you know how much trouble you could get me in?!” Anton exclaimed. Mal tried to stand up and said “We were worried about-” Mal falls back to the ground losing his balance. Anton screams at his two friends “I don’t care! you guys have got to get out of sight before-”
Celestia bursts through the door “What is going on in here?! It sounds like a-” Celestia stops her sentence and stands silently at the doorway. “Anton...is it really you?” Celestia asked hesitantly. Anton has tears forming in his eyes...“Yes...its me...im sorry i didn't think they were going to follow me in-” Celestia cuts Anton off and says “Anton… don’t worry...are these friends from the human world?” Mal finally get rebalanced and says “Yes we are.I’m Malcolm. And this is Silver.” Mal points to Silver fumbling to her hooves. “Nice to meet you...where exactly are we again though?”
Celestia answers back to Malcolm “You’re in Equestria. The multiverse where everybody is a pony.” Celestia points to the mirror in the Crystal Empire’s guarded room. “That is no ordinary mirror. It is a gateway to your world. And it only opens every thirty moons…”
Mal gets Silver onto her hooves they both stare at Celestia and simultaneously say “Only Every Thirty Moons?!” Mal stares at Anton with a furious look on his face “Anton...what the hell is going on here?!”

"Explain this to me Anton. We walked through a MIRROR. And now were in an alternate universe?!" Mal said throwing his hoof onto the table. Knocking everypony's drink askew."Shut up Mal! I haven't really figured that out either. And i don't think we are ever going to find out!" Anton screamed at Mal, sitting across from him. Anton takes a gigantic swig of his drink of mead and slams his cup onto the table. Silver and Celestia sit at the other side of the table, quietly taking sips of their drinks while chewing some bread.
"Anton. Next time before you run off into the f***ing wilderness. Tell us what we are getting into!" Mal exclaimed to Anton.
"Well, Mal. This was supposed to just be me not you two as well! You two deliberately followed me after I specifically told you not to follow me!" Anton starts to finish his drink furiously while Mal says "Well...I...Um...God Damnit Anton!" Anton finishes his drink and throws the cup as hard as he can towards the wall. It shatters onto the ground throwing droplets of mead everywhere. "Anton!" Celestia shouts in a furious state. "Anton Please treat the Royal Property with respect!" Anton gets up from his seat. "I need some air. I'll be back in a few minutes." Anton trots out of the meeting room in a rage. Mal sits silently staring at his drink. Silver stands up and says "I'll go talk to him...maybe I can help settle his anger..." Mal sighs. "Okay...just..be careful...you know how bad his temper is..."
Silver replies"I will.." and she trots out of the room to find Anton.

Mal woke up to Silver's voice saying "He's strong doc. He'll pull through."
The doctor was listening to Anton's heartbeat when Mal got up to his hooves. "ugh...What time is it?" asked Mal rubbing an eye. "11:36, we didn't want to wake you up..." the doctor replied. "How is he doctor?" Silver asked.
"Well...his heart took a bigger turn than we expected with his...anger...if he has a nightmare his heart rate goes through the roof and thats why we had to slow it down the other day. I fear its because his faithful friend turned on him..." All Mal could think of at this point was "I did this... I hurt and almost killed my best friend... ".
After a few seconds of silence Mal put his hoof on the bedside of Anton and started to cry softly... he felt Anton's hoof grasp his and in seconds. The Alicorn was gasping for air. Awaking from a nightmare. "NO!" Anton screamed loudly. His heart started to pound faster and faster until he calmed himself down and threw his head against the pillow.
He turned his head and seeing Mal made his heart start to skip repeatedly. "...did you come here to finish me off yah prick?!" Anton exclaimed. "No not really...i came here to apologize for-" Mal started but was cut off by Anton's wince of pain. Anton squeezed his eyes as tight as he could.
Anton gripped Mal's hoof as his head fell unconscious on the bed again. The Heart rate monitor started to beep very slowly....Mal thought for certain Anton was going to die until Silver said something to make Mal's heart as well skip...
"He'll Be Okay Mal. We Just Need To Have Faith."
A Crystal Empire Accident
Silver walks over to Mal sitting at the bar, placed in the Crystal Empire's castle. Mal has had plenty to drink with the words ringing in his head "Did you come here to finish me off yah prick?! ".
Silver walked over to Mal to tell him the good news "They Operated on Anton this afternoon, they removed the bullet and he's resting up in the IPC if you want to go visit him...." "IPC?" asked Mal as he took another drink. "Intensive Pony Care... like an ICU..." Silver replied.
"Oh...and I think I...we...should go see him... the doctor told me that he didn't mean to call me a prick." Mal replied while standing up.
And the two walked down the hall to Anton's room, there the two ponies saw Princess Luna and Cadence talking to Anton.
"Oh, i see your friends are here..we will leave so you can talk to them." Cadence said to Anton softly. "Well why don't you two introduce yourselves to my friends before you leave..." Anton asked Cadence. After Mal and Silver was introduced to the princesses they left and it was just the three friends standing in an empty room. After a while Anton broke the silence "...hey... so...about the other night...im sorry I lost it and hit Silver..I just..." Anton sighs
"My family was taken by a evil and cruel ruler...that's why I left." Anton stares out the window and changes the subject. "...Such a lovely night..." Anton says while spacing out. "Yeah...it is..." Mal replied confused.
"Too bad I might not get to see another..." Anton aid looking down at his hooves. Mal asked Anton "What do you mean by 'might not get to see another'?
Anton and throws a glance back at Mal "Don't you see Mal..."
"I don't think I'll pull through this..."
