I fall into the bathtub and hit my head hard, dropping Dream and startling her. "You okay? Are you able to wash yourself? You like tired..." You can say that again. I try to get back up but my legs and arms aren't responding.

I manage to croak out some words. "No. I can't move. I'm too tired." I say with a strained smile. "I think I'll postpone shooting for a week..." I spout out bluntly. Dream gives me the "I hope you are joking" look. I wish I was...

Dream gives a sad chuckle and lifts me up so I can get more comfortable in this position. "Get comfortable, we're going to be here for a while.

After we finished the bath I find that I can move my arms and legs perfectly. Looks like all I needed was some rest. "I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know. So keep your secrets." I sing all of a sudden.

"Hmm?" Dream chirps. "Are you okay to stay by yourself for a little while?"

"What? Do I look like a baby to you?" Yes. I probably do. She sighs and walks out of the room. Something seems suspicious about her... I'll track her until she stops moving.

Point of view: Dream

As I leave the room I make sure he doesn't follow me. Good, I'm all alone. I keep walking past corridor to another corridor several times. "This should be it." I say to myself. I push the door open and Twilight is laying on a bed waiting for me.

Twilight has a look of intense worry on her features. "Did he see you come in?" I shake my head and proceed to sit next to Twilight. "I can't believe we have been hiding this from him. He needs to know!" I sigh and put my face in my hooves. Twilight proceeds to come up with some plans on how to tell him about us but I shake my head to most of them leaving her frustrated.  "Ok, How are we going to tell him about... us. Do you think it would work with all three of us?" She asks.

I nod slowly. "I don't care what it takes I'm going to make sure we can all be a family." I hear a thump and start walking to the door. It opens and there laying on the ground is Brandon who looks like he is sweating immensely. Why is he armed? "You heard everything, didn't you?" He just lays there and ignores everyone.

As Dream walks out of the room I start to put on my tactical gear incase Dream got herself into a drug deal or some other problem. I happen to find a brand new UTS 15 shotgun in a secret armed compartment under the bed. Gotta love the new shipment! I load both sides of the UTS 15 with buckshot so that I can stand up to anyone who dares try to fight back. Once everything is secured in place, I check her tracker and hear it beeping until she slows to a stop. I start following the arrow which points to her previous location before it stopped. Seems like she used a jammer at the last second. Hopefully she won't expect me if that even is her anymore. I sprint to her location extremely fast.

As I advance to her position I come across a shielded door which is hopefully where she is behind. I grab one of the small drone bugs you used to spy in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and fly it under the door. Noise starts inputting throughout my earphones as I listen intently. Is that the mirror that sent me here nearby? I'll ignore it for now...

"-tell him about... us. Do you think it would work with all three of us?" I hear Twilight's voice ask. Oh shit, I gotta make sure I'm hearing this right...

I hear another voice which I presume is Dream's. "I don't care what it takes I'm going to make sure we can all be a family." Dream stops talking and I try to leave the area but trip on a strip of carpet I am sure wasn't there before. The door opens and Dream looks at me bewildered. "You heard everything, didn't you?" I try to stay still and act like I am going into shock but she doesn't fall for it and brings me in the room. I don't resist. "You realize I won't let you leave me and all three of us are going to be together right?" I ignore her and pull out my UTS 15 in a gesture that says, "attempt to hurt me and I will fight back".

"Relax, I have better ways of convincing you than hurting you. Twilight here likes you and me." I drop the gun to the ground in confusion. Thank god the safety was on or that son of a bitch would've shot someone.

My wide eyed expression is ignored. "What?... What could you possibly like about me?" I am literally almost speechless.

Twilight sighs and walks forward and hugs me reassuringly. "You're silly, cute, handsome and smart. Yes I know you're smart but like to act stupid most of the time. It's one of the hidden charms."

"So the hell march soundtrack was unnecessary?" Twilight and Dream both facehoof exasperatedly. "Ok, I have no objections." I assuage formally. They sigh and relief and we group hug.

"Crisis averted." Twilight says happily. I don't know if I can get used to this that quickly, to be truthful. As if sensing my hesitation, Twilight pulls me to the middle of the group with Dream on my left and Twilight on my right.

Time to see if the bomb was dropped yet. "Is this illegal? I mean to you know be in a relationship with more than two and then possibly take it to the next level in the future?" Twilight gasps at my bluntness but shakes her head. The purple unicorn mare always hated bluntness. Haha, I have a weapon. Shit! I forgot my shotgun! "Shit! My shotgun!" Dream chuckles and pulls it out of... nowhere? I will never get used to that out of nowhere bullshit.

"Why must you be so forgetful sometimes?" Twilight questions with crystal clear hesitation. "I mean, this is why I have checklists. I-" I stopped listening after that as she just rambles on and on and on and on. I wave a hand in front of her which she ignores and I finally lightly punch her in the back snapping her out of one of her rants. "Did I ramble again?"

"Yes, but it's okay, I think its kinda funny." Twilight's ears perk upon hearing this.

She starts talking again. "Everypony thinks its annoying."

I laugh at that and shake my head. "It'd take more than that to annoy me. Oh by the way Dream, remember what you said about me? Now you can't apply that to three can you?" I say with a smirk that she kills. "Actually, yes I can T-"

I interrupt her before she can continue by screaming. "NO!" I scream startling her but making her smirk. "Please...No..." I plead. Twilight and Dream are both confused but for different reasons. "Can we just... I want to do something..." Before that can happen though, I see the mirror that I shot to enter this realm in front of me. I grab my shotgun and aim it at the mirror startling the two of them until they look at it and don't see anything.

"Fool, I brought you here because of your stupidity. I demand tribute!"

I turn turn off the safety and pull the trigger. "NO! FUCK YOU!" I use my entire magazine on the Mirror entity but it's too fast for the slugs and I'm thrown to the ground as the Entity tries to enter my mind. "Why would you pick now?! I'm going to fucking kill you! I don't care if you sent me here!" In my rage I do not notice the girls trying to restrain me from causing anymore damage.

"We'll meet again soon..." The entity disappears into the mist making everything appear normal again and fixing the holes in the walls. I finally am conscious of what's going on around me.

"What the buck is wrong with you?!" Twilight yells, panting heavily from trying to restrain me.

"The mirror entity..." I say slowly, catching their attention.

"Can you repeat what you just said so I can make sure I'm not going crazy?" Twilight asks desperately.

"The. Mirror. Entity." I say again. Twilight goes wide-eyed while Dream just lays there confused and tired. "I thought I was hallucinating, but that was the mirror that sent me here."

Twilight suddenly grabs hold of me and starts shaking me up and down. "Do. You. Know. What. That. Means?!" Twilight shakes me twice for each word spoken which is really annoying.

I make myself still. "Please stop and get to the point." I say impatiently.

Twilight's eye twitches at my ignorance but she speaks anyways. "We need to go to Celestia. Now!" Twilight grabs the still dazed Dream in her hooves and me and teleports in a tired heap in front of the throne room. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight addresses drastically. Celestia/mom shakes her head and smiles down at Twilight and the rest of us.

"What's so bad about me pissing off the mirror entity?" The whole room goes cold and everyone turns wide eyed again, even Celestia.

"The mirror entity is the dark version of Discord himself." Celestia whispers.

I pull my UTS 15 from Dream and load it. "Big deal, I just shoot him and he's dead." Someone slaps me across the face or something but I know I got hit.

Dream looks at me like she saw a ghost. "Are you insane?! You said that thing sent you here! Why would you kill something that could send you back to where you came?"

Now it was my turn to get that look. "Because then it can't?" I say as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. The sound of hooves hitting faces echoes across the room.

"Why would you... Do you ever use peaceful solutions?" Twilight asks, probably concerned for her own safety right now being five feet from the barrel of my shotgun.

"Because history tends to repeat itself." I say darkly. Twilight backs away a little bit. "It's not my fault that that's the truth." I grip my shotgun from the picatinny rail with the safety on. "I don't even know what to do I'm so paranoid right now. I'm just going to stay in that corner." I lay in the corner of the throne room with my finger on the safety incase anything tries to kill me.

"That might be a problem." Dream yells to me in the corner. Celestia/mom walks over to me and sits down next to me. I lay my head into her wings because it's comfortable. "I-It's so... cold." I shiver and she wraps the entire length of her wings around my body, warding off the cold from the unknown. I feel my eyes drooping but I've only been awake for like 12 hours... I can't sleep yet! "What...What are you doing?"

Celestia shushes me with her hoof. "Shh... you need to sleep for a while, you actually got hurt from that mirror." she calms me down and wait... why am I in her bed? I try to fight the sleep but she doubles her effects and puts my head in between the crook of her neck. Goddammit... Fine you win this round. I feel my eyes sink lower and lower until I can't actually see anymore.

"NO!" My eyes snap open as I snatch my shotgun and roll out of her protective hold. "Enough sleep! I'm going to find you and kill you mirror!" I rush the window and jump through it, shattering it into possibly millions of pieces. I think of something soft and end up hitting pillows. Hmm, a decent makeshift. Except if I went higher... The citizens of Canterlot are bewildered at the sight of me. I guess you would be to if you saw someone carrying this.

And wearing that.

"All units, be advised. We have an AWOL member of royalty running around armed and dangerous. Do not hesitate to bring them back to the palace. But do not harm them. Nonlethal force is mandatory." Dream says in a radio over Canterlot castle. By now I'm miles away from them. But where do I go? I am currently in the ghettos of Canterlot right now but I keep moving forward. A strange group of ponies who look very suspicious approach me.

"We've been waiting for this moment for months..." HAHA NOPE! I flick the safety off on my UTS 15 and aim it at them. They don't even flinch.

"What the fuck do you want? Tell me one good reason I should let you even an inch closer to me before I blow your fucking heads off and sell your organs to the Chinese." I say in a harsh voice. This time they back off. Thank god for acting. Wait, they are regrouping not backing off.

One of the three of them approaches me. The mare in question has a pink coat with black outlines on it and a shotgun for a cutiemark. Oh fuck no, I ain't going to lose a fight.

"If you want to fight, I'm not by any means going to play fair." I pump my shotgun and aim it straight in between her eyes. One of them steps behind me in an attempt to surprise me but I turn around and scissor kick them in the face and sidestep one of their bucks. I send a few baton rounds into their back, making them collapse to the floor in a heap. Ok, two more to go. I lost sight of the mare a few seconds ago, but I stay alert. I load three more baton rounds into my UTS 15 and pump the shotgun again. The fight continues in suspense until the mare jumps from the roof of one of the buildings and bucks me in the face. I sidestep yet again and unload more baton rounds into her face, paralyzing her almost immediately. (I have the shotgun set to not alternate tubes. The right tube is loaded with slugs and the left tube is loaded with baton rounds. I currently only have the left tube used right now.) The third pony seems to have run off. Satisfied with the results of my self-defense I continue my walk trying to get out of the ghettos. If this keeps up, I'll run out of nonlethal rounds and have to use the buckshot. Oh whoever gets in my way next will be unlucky.

Point of view: Celestia

"I've been trying to find Brandon with scrying spells for a while now and... oh it seems it finally works!" Twilight says gleefully. A projection appears in front of us showing Brandon... FIGHTING?! He appears to be... shooting criminals with high-powered projectiles using a stick or something like that.

"I don't believe my eyes. At least he's using nonlethal rounds." Dream states matter-of-factly.

"Those are nonlethal? But they look dead." Twilight murmurs.

"Well yeah, It hurts them a lot." She answers easily. I shrug and keep a close eye on Brandon as he walks through the ghettos of Canterlot.

"I never did trust that place. I don't approve of what he wants to do, but I know I cannot stop him." I say in a shushed tone. I don't want anyone to know that I cannot stop him from it but I'm bound to stay here. Wait, what if Luna- I'm interrupted as my sister walks into the room with a clearly distressed aura about her -well that's convenient.

"I saw everything, I'm going after him." Luna says bluntly before teleporting away in a flash of blue light. You better stay safe sister...

"I know what you seek, but you mustn't let anger control thee." Luna says as she teleports in front of me, stopping me in my tracks.

"I'm not going anywhere until I know more about this, this entity." I state firmly. She sighs and grabs me tightly and teleports me. I end up in her room feeling like I'm going to throw up. I fall onto the floor and almost hurl.

"While your anger towards power might have been the opposite of what I had, it's too dangerous to let it control you." I flinch as Luna/mom takes out a bowl of chicken noodle soup and places it in front of me. "And no, I don't care that you eat meat. Tis to keep your body healthy after all."

"Why won't you let me go after the mirror?" I ask angrily. I don't even notice Celestia in the doorway.

"Because it just wants to control you by making you want to kill it." Didn't see that coming. "And it seems to be succeeding. Unless you can find that this is not who you are." Celestia says sadly.

"But who am I?" I ask out loud. Celestia gives a sad smile and shrugs before walking out of the room to leave me to my own devices.
