"The safest distance between two points is a shadowy line." Bertram thought as the view of the castle began to grow larger and larger, until he was stopped by a gate. The one thing that could actually stop him. The way he had actually made it to the city was the train and the tree line next to the tracks. He had bandaged Dinky as much as he could, but that left him without much clothing to cover him. As he watched the guards at the city gate he had noticed that there was no way for him to get in without just walking up to the guards.

Bertram sighed and thought " I actually have to get captured to get my owner the help she needs... the things I do." He looked towards the gate and nodded. He got up from his position next to the tracks and began to walk towards the gate.

"You there, human! Stop right there." One of the guards said as she raised a spear with her magic towards Bertram. Bertram took Dinky from his arms and handed her over to the guards. The guard took Dinky in her magic and said, "This is the filly that was kidnapped from Ponyville. Private get over here and take her to the hospital!"

Another guard took the filly into his magic and ran back to the gate, it opened and they both slipped inside.

"This is also the human that took her... the description matches, it's him. Grab him before he does anything else."

"Oh no you don't!" Bertram thought as he felt the unicorns magic begin to wrap around him. He saw the glow envelope his left his and he grabbed at it with his right hand. The magic he had grasped at was a solid mass, he tugged it off his wrist and it lost it's color, turning a clear grey ball of magic.

"What?! How did he do that? Guards! get up here and help me!" The mare said.

"That's awesome! Maybe I can do this..." Bertram thought as ball of magic began to take form into silver canister with a blue tube running down the side, there was a round cream colored button on the top.

" So, I can't make magic, but when I get it I can do whatever I want... hehehe." He looked at the button on the canister and slammed his fist down onto it and chucked it at the group of guards making their way towards him.

"Get down!" One of the guards screamed, but it was too late. The canister began to spin like a top and spray liquid at the group, the resulting liquid began to freeze them in place.

Bertram looked upon the group in awe as the guards turned to ice, but a moment later he doubled over and vomited. " I don't think I want to do that again, it must have been the magic." Bertram thought as he watched the captain of the guard walk over to him with bleary vision and buck him in the face. The next thing he knew, everything had went dark.

"Again? Wait, what is this? Betram thought as he reached around, all he had felt was soft to the touch as if he was wrapped in silk. He tried to open his eyes but his head screamed out in pain as the blinding white light pierced his vision.

"Shit, that hurts... let me just wait a moment." As Bertram laid there his thoughts went to Dinky and her mother.

"Not a day with them and I kidnap the daughter and brutally harm two others... this... what the hell happened?" Bertram shook his head tried to open his eyes again, this time yielded better results as the pain in his head had calmed down. He was in a room, brightly colored, much to his luck. But he wasn't alone. He looked over to the darker parts of the room, in which stuff had been casting shadows along the walls. He squinted at what looked like to him a mass of shadow, he barely saw it, but it was there. He unwrapped himself from the bed in which he was laying and limped over to the mass.

He reached out with a hand and pulled the mass out from the dark with a hard tug. What he caught startled him it was another pony but this one had both the appendages of a Unicorn and Pegasus, the coloring was a dark blue and the mane was an ethereal blue as if it were the night sky itself, was trapped on top of the ponies head.

"Unhand me human! The Princess of the Night commands it." Luna demanded. But Bertram didn't let go, he was still in shock.

"They have Unicorns, Pegasi, and a mixture of both, what kind of world is this, next you're going to tell me they have dragons and that everyone shits skittles..." Bertram developed a smirk at that last thought.

"Okay, if that's the way it must be..." Luna said as she charged up her magic.

Bertram noticed the glow from Luna's horn and reacted as the magic left her horn. He grabbed the bolt of magic and it had pushed his arm back with some force, but he managed to stop it. Bertram looked at the magic and then to Luna. He then brought the hand full of magic to Luna's face and with a loud resonating SLAP, Luna flew across the room and slammed into the wall with a loud thud. But she quickly recovered, and was clearly flustered.

"H-How dare you slap me, y-you-" But she was cut off as the door was opened.

"What's going on in here?" A motherly tone voiced into the room.

What Celestia saw next was something she wasn't prepared for. The human that ran away from Ponyville with a filly, was in a defensive stance as he stood half naked. Luna, was all the way across the room with a red hand print on her cheek and a crater in the wall which was the exact same size as her. She smirked as she looked upon the scene before her. This was a change of pace from paper work.

Bertram looked at the white pony and back to the blue one, and then to his hand. There was still some magic left on it, but not much. He used what he had left to make a flame at the tip of his hand... gun. And he blew it out and motioned like he was putting into a holster.
"I'm a goner either way, might as well have some fun before this all ends."

"Well, even if this scene is most amusing to me, you human, are going to have to come with me, this is about your court hearing, you're special to somepony and me, so if you could please come this way." Celestia motioned towards the hall. Bertram started walking towards the door and looked at Luna, she just sat there feeling the mark on her face.

"I like her, she's feisty." Bertram thought as he entered the hallway.

"You do know that I can hear you right?" Celestia asked as she kept walking. Bertram froze in place as his eyes widened and locked onto the white pony in front of him. Celestia stopped and turned. "I'm surprised that you haven't felt me inside you yet."

"That's what she said 'cough'." Bertram thought as his smile grew.

Celestia lost her smile as she looked at Bertram and said. "This is serious, you hurt two fillies and saved your owner, but I can't just let you go free, that would seem unjust and cruel to the parents of the fillies you almost killed." The tone of her voice went cold and unforgiving. "We can't let you just get off without any punishment, there will be consequences for what you have done. And if it happens again, I'm afraid, more, how should I put it, drastic action will be put to work. "

Bertram looked at the princess with a stern look on his face. His serious look became a amused look as he approached Celestia.Bertram only stood a head taller then Celestia but it was enough to make him look intimidating, but Celestia didn't falter. His left eye began to twitch as he looked Celestia straight into the eyes. He was only a few inches away from Celestia before his face returned to the state it was previously. His eye still twitching madly.

"Listen here pony and listen well, no one here is going to punish me for what I did, even if you want me punished, it's not going to happen, all my life I stood up for the "little guy" and was punished for it, because my actions were extreme. Even before all of that, I was punished because I was a little guy, and I was still punished. But now?" Bertram looked at his hand.

"I'm not the little guy anymore, in fact... I'm the biggest one here, all the magic in the world couldn't stop me because, apparently, I'm immune to it, and I already know that magic is the biggest threat you have against everyone else, but now? Your magic won't work, it'll only feed me the energy I need to destroy anyone who might try to harm me or my owner..." Bertram thought as he, yet again. doubled over and vomited. This time he had noticed what his body produced, it seemed to be some sort of black bile. Bertram brought himself shakily up to his feet and looked over to Celestia, a number of guards had surrounded him and Celestia had a look of fear stricken on her face. At the sight Bertram's back to burn as if someone were branding him. He fell back to the ground and his face contorted into a silent scream as he grabbed at his back desperately trying to get rid of the pain from his shaking body.

The guards raised there brows at the display. Celestia shook her head ridding herself of the vision in her head and looked towards Bertram. His thoughts speaking all that she needed to know.

"Quick remove his clothing, somethings happening to his back!" Celestia yelled the command. Her guards complied and started to tug the shirt off of Bertram's writhing body. He got up to his palms and knees and screamed for the first time in years.

"Aaaaaaaaaggggghhhhh!" The scream itself made the guards and Celestia cringe. Smoke began to rise from Bertram's skin as a mark took form over his whole back. The mark itself was a winged sword pointing downwards with a chaos wheel behind it. Bertram's screams were heard all around the castle, but his thoughts told of another story. In his mind a sickening voice yelled out two words only, and it was accompanied with a maniacal laugh.

"Righteous Fury! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Celestia froze as soon as she stopped hearing the screams, what were screams, were now bouts of insane laughter. All her guards were frozen in place along with her. Bertram was now laughing along with whatever was in his head. Celestia's horn lit up as she was about to cast a spell but before she could something grabbed the tip of her horn, her eyes went down to where Bertram had been but her view was blocked. The only thing she saw was a pair of glowing golden eyes. Wisps of light seeped out of them, moving just like her mane, perpetually in a breeze.

The next thing she noticed was that, everything had went silent. No laughing, no screaming. Nothing. Celestia jerked back from Bertram's face and she fell to the ground. She looked over the rest of him, he was fully clothed in regular attire, and his once unkempt hair was now slicked back and his beard was gone. Bertram smiled at the sitting Celestia and the rest of her guards who stood there staring. The laughter started back up again, but just as it was reaching the peak of volume Bertram blinked out of existence. This was definitely not good.

"Dinky... where did you go Dinky?" Derpy said as she sat there crying, but she was silenced as a knock came to the door. She bolted up from her chair and made her way to the door. Derpy answered it but nopony was there, she looked around and found nopony even on the roads. She stepped forward to make her way outside, but a crumpling noise came from her foot. It was a letter and it read.

Dear Derpy Hooves,

We are delighted to say that your daughter has been found and is in the hospital up here in Canterlot, a train ticket is available along with this note. Please hurry up here and see her, she misses you dearly.

-Canterlot Hospital

As she read, a smile spread over her face as she looked over the letter to see if it was real. A moment later a chill ran up her spine as she thought somepony was watching her, so she looked up from the letter and looked around, but still, the roads were empty. She shrugged and happily looked at the ticket as tears filled her eyes. Behind her in the hallway of her house a human stood there smiling before disappearing to where ever it came from.
