Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Danto ran off into the hallways sitting on the floors trying to get over what happened.

“Why? What did I do wrong to have this happen to me?” He asked himself as he was crying, “Why do people hate me so much?”

“They don’t hate you. They just don't see the real you, yet.” A voice said near Danto.

“What the… Who said that?” he asked as he got up and looked around then saw the trophy case.

“I’m the personality with your anger and my name yours and truly…” the voice said as a silhouette of a figure just like Danto appeared. “Insanity.”

“How did-”

“Before you start questioning how and why I’m here, I’m you with all that anger and insanity building up inside you. It was all from your family that I was beginning to form and be finally able to talk to you in person or reflection in this case.” he said as he got the joke he instantly realized, "Well, there's one pun for you."

Danto sarcastically laugh as he wiped off the tears from his face, "Very funny," he observed Insanity closer to compare himself with him. "Weird, you look like me but… the body is covered in darkness.”

“Yeah, that’s what being the figure of someone with all this anger and craziness can be.”

“Danto? Where are you?” Aldon's voice echoed the hallways.

“Are those your ‘Friends?’”

“Yeah.”

Aldon found Danto as El and Clem followed them. “Finally we found you.”

“Heh and yet it took them 5 minutes to do so.”

“Who said that?”

“The Trophy case.” Insanity said as they turned their heads to look and see him waving. “Hi.”

They screamed as they were shocked, confused and amazed what happened.

“Danto, what is that?”

“Guys meet Insanity, my… ‘personality’ with a mind of it’s own.”

“Woah, he’s like, your evil doppelganger.”

“Thanks.”

“Anyway, as much as we would want to question about you…”

“Hmm-mm.”

“We were going to check on you. You okay?”

“Not really.”

“Well, we had to tell Celestia that we needed time to look for you. So The Dazzlings went up against Flash’s band.”

“That idiot getting all ‘joyful and full of pride seeing Twilight?’”

“Yeah…”

“Well, Let’s hurry up and get this over with.”

“Hey. What about him?” Clem asked as he pointed at Insanity.

“You can talk to me be a reflection off a object, mirrors, very polished glass, etc.”

“Alright. Let’s go.”

As Danto and his friends were heading to the stage, Aldon had to tell Danto something.

“Oh yeah, Celestia said that each band will play one at a time when they get call up on stage. No second chances, no retries, what we do is what we get.”

“Alright.” Danto said instantly stopping.

“Danto, come on.”

“I’m trying, I can’t move.” Danto said trying to move but gets no response.

Aldon tried pushing him, but didn’t move him a single bit.

“What is going on with you man?”

Insanity chuckled echoed the hallways.

“Insanity, what are you doing?”

“I think Danto needs a little...assistance.”

“What are you saying?”

“Stand back.” Insanity said as darkness started growing from Danto’s feet. It reached to his chest as Danto tried resisting by moving but forget he can’t turn his head or his limbs. Danto then screamed as the darkness reached his head but was then muffled when it got to his mouth. He kneeled as his hands were the last thing to see of Danto himself. The figure then got up and opened it’s eyes to show the white in the eyes with black pupils.

“Danto?”

“He’s not in at the moment. I’m here for now.” Insanity spoke in a voice with a evil tone.

“What did you do to him?”

“He’s on my spot, check the trophy case.”

They ran to the trophy case to see Danto within the reflection of the glass.

“Danto!”

“It feels weird being in a reflection guys.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll give him back after we’re done playing our song.”

“Oh yeah, what is the song?”

“You’ll see soon enough, now…” Insanity said pulling a box from his jacket. He opened it to show 3 silver cuff bangle with the same symbol on each of them. “Wear these.”

“Why?”

“The song we’ll play is needing a metal tone that you guys don’t really have.”

“Alright. If you say so.” Aldon said putting on the wrist wear as did Clem and El.

“Now then… Let’s rock.”

The four of them walked to the backstage where the Rainbooms just finished their song as they were arguing again.

“None of this wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t show off! As usual.” Applejack said to Rainbow as they saw Danto and noticed he was... different

“Good show Rainbooms.” Trixie said as she saw the Shredders of Light walking to the stage. “Hey look, it’s your friends who got us out in round 1. Hey good luck out there Criers of Light.” Trixie said as she was laughing to a joke which didn't really make any sense.

Insanity stopped and looked at Trixie laughing and walked slowly to her direction. As he got closer, Trixie slowly stopped laughing. He was standing right in front her looking down slightly.

“It took you this long to insult us? I should’ve known this kind of information coming from a so called ‘Magician’ and yet…” He said turning away. “Your band is called, ‘Trixie and the Illusions,’ That is a great name by the way for the Horrible and Untalented Trixie.” He finish bowing down to Trixie. “Thanks for the nickname the Horrible, Untalented, no good, Powerless Trixie.” he said as he got up and continued to the stage.

Trixie stood there motionless and in shock of what she heard. She then ran out the doors with tears slowly coming out of her eyes.

“You think that was a bit harsh?" Aldon asked.

“Not to me it isn’t.”

"I should've expected that."

"Hey, she had it coming to her at some point."
