Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Travis had turned into the puppet due to the music box being completely unwound. He took off his backpack, with the music box in it.

"I HAVE TO SAVE THEM!!!!!!!" He started running towards the purple car that was trying to flee the crime, catching up to it.

"YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!! YOU WILL DIE TODAY!!!!" He rammed the car, with amazing strength. It flipped over, hitting a tree which stopped it.

"Crap..." The man inside struggled to get out of the car, crawling out. His arm was broken, and his head was bleeding. The puppet grabbed him by the neck.

"Now, you will feel how painful my death was...." All the man did was smile.

"You think this is funny?!? Don't you have any common sense?!?" He continued to smile.

"You better hope that God forgives you....." He said as he was about to snap his neck. But there was music. Sunset Shimmer was winding up the music box, taking Travis's powers away. The darkness started to leave him, and the mask was put back on the side of his head. He let go of the man cloaked in purple, who ran and fled the crime scene. Travis fell to the ground unconcious. Sunset lifted Travis up.

"I'm sorry Travis, but I couldn't let you kill him." She said, hugging his head.

"So that's what you meant? He would turn into a horrifying monster?!?" Rainbow shrieked.

"Did you see what he just witnessed?!? He just saw the man that murdered him!!! He saw him murder another child!!!" Sunset shouted back.

"What?!? Did that give him permission to destroy a car and almost kill a man?!?" She looked at Travis and back at Rainbow Dash.

"You know why Rainbow! I'm not alright with it, but you shouldn't blame him for this!!!" Sunset looked at all of her friends who looked back at her in remorse.

"We can't blame him.... right guys?" They didn't respond.

"You guys are siding with her?!? Why?!?" Applejack began.

"We're sorry Sugarcube, but he's just too dangerous to be around... we still want to be around you though." Sunset looked in disgust.

"What.... Don't you guys know that he isn't even alive? He's trying to avenge his own death while he's dead!!! Can you imagine how hard that would be?!?" She shouted with tears in her eyes. It started raining.

"Sugarcube, I-"

"No! Just go! If you don't want to be around him, just go you insensitive jerks!!" Applejack backed up.

"Come on, let's go." Rainbow Dash said.

"We want you to keep that... Monster away from us. Ya hear?" Rainbow said. They started walking away, leaving a crying Sunset hugging an unconcious Travis in the rain.


Travis woke up in a bed, seeing that his burn wounds, from turning into the puppet, were patched up, along with the slit in his throat.

"Where.... am I?" The last thing he remembered was turning into the puppet. Then, nothingness. He was in a dark void, just... falling.

"We saw what happened when your music box unwinds." Sunset Shimmer was in the room in her pajamas.

"They want to stay away from you. Ever since they saw that, they thought... you were a monster." He looked her in the eyes, and saw sadness.

"I know you aren't a monster. You can't be. You just want to..." She couldn't think of the word, so she moved on.

"Did you know that child he killed?" He nodded.

"Who was it?" He looked at her with tears in his eyes.

"It was me...." She was confused.

"It was you? How was it you? You're here right now!" He looked at her once more.

"I'm not alive, remember? I came back in time to prevent this, but it still happened. I don't know why..." She looked at him with surprise on her face.

"You just got killed?" He nodded.

"I'm... Sorry. It must've been painful watching your own death." He nodded.

"The music box went faster because of this." He took it out of his bag, which was on the floor.

"Whenever I was hit so emotionally, it winded down faster. That's why I seem so... emotionless. I try to keep my emotions in check." She sat down next to him.

"Did you have anyone in your life?" He shook his head.

"My father died before I was born and my mother was an alcoholic. I ran away at a young age, trying to use whatever I had to survive. I came across the family diner, and realized that it was all that I needed." He looked at Sunset, trying not to cry.

"I ate off of the scraps, and stole water from them. Then one day, I thought that I would go in to say that I was sorry. Sorry for stealing, but that day was when I was... Murdered...." Sunset cried a little bit while hearing this.

"You don't need to have that pain any longer Travis..." She embraced him in her arms, crying into his hair.

"You can't have it any longer.... You don't deserve it..." He hugged her back, and started to cry.

"I don't know why he killed me... I didn't do anything to him....." She broke the hug and looked at him grinning, because she got a bright idea.

"Do you have a place to stay while you're here?" He shook his head.

"You can stay here. And you have an adopted big sister while you're at it...."
