Broken Mirror, Part One

Canterlot Vale Estate

Archer cocked an eyebrow while Dusk sat back and smiled. "So, stop me if I'm getting some of this wrong... You got abducted by humans, experimented on, said humans tried to put you in a position of authority-"

"Which backfired spectacularly." Added Dusk.

Archer rolled her eyes. "You came back, some other crap happened... Then Princess Celestia showed you some sort of chamber under the castle where the multitude of universes intersect?"

Dusk frowned and leaned forward. "Ya... Sounds better in my head, right?"

"Where's your proof?"

Dusk got up out of his chair and walked out of the office. "You coming kid?" Archer rose from her chair and followed Dusk down to the basement, stopping at a solid metal door. Dusk slid it open and hit a lightswitch, illuminating his personal armory. He walked in and approached his old burnt-out armor. "Still having trouble believing me?"

Dart ran her fingers over the jagged chestplate and turned her attention to the intact example to the right. "I'm starting to think that some of that was more plausible then I wanted to believe... So what happened to this anyway?"

"For that, I need to explain a bit more." Said Dusk as he leaned up against his workbench. "I'm going to tell you about my first real suicide mission."
