Twilight, Spike, and I all sat around the table. I had a cup of coffee in my hand as was slowly drinking it. I was awaiting the explanation of just what exactly this 'Anti-magic element' was and why it affected me. Twilight had sent her findings off to Princess Celestia and she said she would be here as soon as possible to corroborate Twilight's story, why you might ask? Because, I could be a threat to Equestria, all of magic, and harmony if this turns out to be true so I was stuck in the throne room just waiting until then. I took another sip of my coffee, my second cup within the span of 2 hours. It's been a rough day, coffee helps me think, works a lot better than tea for now.

Twilight looked up at me from her cup of tea, "Mickey, I'm sorry you have to wait for answers."

"It's fine, I'm sure Princess Celestia's schedule is a huge shitshow right now after what happened." I took another sip of my coffee.

"You alluded to something earlier but never specified what." Spike said, "What does it have to do with the Princess, and your sudden show of respect for her? As far as we've all know you've been anti-Celestia since you've been here."

"Look, my opinion of her hasn't changed that drastically, I still don't like her for what she did to me and for hiding the truth from the girls and from me. However, something has changed and it's not just me, all I can say is it's not my place to tell you and the media won't do a great job of covering what's going to be happening in the coming weeks. I did however have a huge part in it, I just don't want to say how much of it I want to take credit for right now." I explained and drank some of my coffee after it had cooled down enough. I took a deep breath and let out a huge sigh. What followed that sigh was a huge flash of golden light and a lot of squinting, fuck she couldn't be any more grandiose? I think I just got hit with a fucking flash bang grenade.

Twilight looked toward the source of the light and it was her former mentor Princess Celestia, "The media is going to have a field day with this one." She grumbled under her breath but my training allowed me to pick it up. Have you ever wondered why Marine Drill Instructors constantly yell at recruits? Well, actually not all of them do. If you get two or three DI's on you one of them will be talking normally, it prepares you for listening to key details from your buddy while firing an M16. So I pick up on what people say under their breath. I don't say anything because it embarrasses people. Princess Celestia looked at Twilight, "Is he still here?"

Twilight was going to say something but I had answered in her stead. "Yeah I am, I'm just blind thanks to the fucking flashbang you set off when you arrived." I said passive aggressively. It was heavy on the aggressive with a light splash of passive.

"My apologies, are you alright?" Princess Celestia apologized and asked.

"I'll be fine, but find a way to chill out with that whole flash effect when you come into a room, I think you just burned my retinas." I blinked.

"I'll try, but please tell me that what you say is true, that he's got an Anti Magic Element." Celestia asked Twilight who handed her the papers while I recovered my vision.

"Excuse me princesses, but no one has explained to me what the fuck an Anti Magic Element is or what the fuck a Magic Element is." I said while squinting at the two of them.

Twilight sat down and looked at me, "To simplify, a magic element is the absolute core of what a pony can do, it can be broken down into the basic elements, earth, water, fire, air, and magic. That's just the 5 general elements, there are millions of different sub categories that specify a pony's natural talent. Take for example Applejack, she has the Magic Element of Earth with a subcategory of Botany. That's just a simple example, now there are very rare elements and categories like say for example Rainbow Dash, her Element is Air while her subcategory is Speed, hence why she doesn't get ripped apart when doing her Sonic Rainboom. There has always been 5 elements, but it was theorized by Starswirl the Bearded that with these Elements, there are opposites earth is the opposite of air, fire is the opposite of water, they cancel each other out but there is no opposite of magic to cancel it out, so he theorized that there was an element that cancelled out the magic element. He dubbed this theory the Anti Magicka Theorem, but he had no definitive proof until you came along."

"So Anti Magic cancels out any type of magic?" I asked.

"It has the ability to, but it's most effective against ponies with a magic element." Celestia said. "It's incredibly effective against Unicorns and Alicorns."

"Then how come I'm not making people pass out and drop to their knees whenever I walk past a unicorn or making you two feel weak?" I asked.

"My best theory is that you're actually doing it subconsciously, what happened at the fashion show earlier was when you were incredibly angry so it might have occurred that way." Twilight said, "As for it not affecting us, I think it does but since we're also both Earth Ponies and Pegasi as well, so it's only got 1/3rd of the effectiveness at this state right now."

"Alright, now here's my final question. How do I control it?" I looked up at the princess of the sun and princess of friendship who were looking at each other with doubts in their eyes. "So I can't?"

"We...don't know, it warrants more study before we can determine whether or not you could." Twilight said, "We could try and make an item to cancel out this aura by constantly supplying you with magic but in order for you to control it, we will need to hold onto some samples for study so we can find a safe conduit for you to safely release this anti magic."

"I'm going to have to think about it, but for now." I looked at Princess Celestia, "You should tell her what's going to happen in the next few days. I'm going to go get a drink, something really alcoholic, I want to kill as many brain cells as possible right now." I stood up and made my way towards the door but Twilight stopped me. I looked up at Twilight, "You aren't going to stop me I need to kill some brain cells."

"There's some bourbon in my room, you can get some from there." Twilight said and I was surprised, "Look, living in Ponyville for so long it will drive you insane if you don't have something to blur the lines a bit, most ponies drink and I'm one of them."

"If I drink all your bourbon I'll replace it." I said as I went to Twilight's room to get the bottle of booze. I opened the door and saw the liquor in a fancy glass bottle and I poured myself a glass. I sighed and took a swing, the alcohol lightly burning my throat as I swallowed. This shit is...well fuck I don't even know how to describe it, but I can tell you one thing, this is definitely going to change the way my fucking perspective on shit for now.
