Strange Human

Dwayne and Sunset Shimmer walk together while they look around, many people waved at Sunset Shimmer, she smiled and waved back,

"Go on, Dwayne, wave back." Sunset Shimmer said, and Dwayne did without smiling or energy,

"Dwayne, you don't look happy." Sunset Shimmer said,

"I said before, I don't like people or society." Dwayne replied,

"Give them a try, Dwayne, there are a few bad people here, but not so much." Sunset Shimmer said,

"There is no species worse than humans." Dwayne replied,

"But you're a human, yourself." Sunset Shimmer said with surprise,

"I know, and I'm ashamed to be one." Dwayne replied,

"Dwayne, not all humans are bad, there are some mean people in my home world, too." Sunset Shimmer said,

"I bet they're nowhere near as bad as humans." Dwayne replied,

"How can you be sure about that?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"I've met other species' of people back in my home world, they were much friendlier and caring than humans, those who knew about my PTSD tried their best to comfort me." Dwayne replied,

"Come with me, Dwayne, since you say humans are bad, I'm taking you to Fluttershy, she runs the animal shelter." Sunset Shimmer said, Dwayne became very uncomfortable, and his eyes widened,

"What is it now?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"Parado had a zoo, they were very unkind to animals." Dwayne replied, Sunset Shimmer was shocked, so she touched Dwayne's right wrist with her left hand to see the memory.

Dwayne saw a zoo while he was a toddler, he saw an animal, it was labeled a zebra, but it was actually a llama painted with white and black stripes, it was laying on the ground and sad. Dwayne petted the llama with his right hand and the llama licked it. There were also animals starving to death in the zoo, and the zookeepers were giving the animals antidepressants, and new animals were being brought in, they were chained. Sunset Shimmer can tell from the memory that the animals being brought into the zoo were actually poached.

The vision changes and Dwayne was in the same area again, this time, the same age as he was now, he heard an animal and he went over, it was the same llama, still sad and on the ground. The llama recognized Dwayne and remembered him from when he was a kid. Dwayne hit the lock with his left hand and broke it, he entered and saw only the llama remained, the animals were dead, and the zookeepers abandoned the place. Dwayne changed to his disorder form and the llama stood up, it walked to him and Dwayne held onto it, he then teleported to Dunland and sent the llama back to its home.

The vision ends and Sunset Shimmer was very shocked, she was crying a bit as well, and had her own left hand on her heart,

"I've... never seen... such cruelty." Sunset Shimmer said,

"I know, it pained me, too." Dwayne replied,

"Hold on, we'll see Fluttershy later, I have to wipe these tears away." Sunset Shimmer said, and she proceeded to wipe the tears out of her eyes.

Twilight Sparkle could not find much information on the medicine she took from Dwayne, so she took it to Zecora in hopes that she can discover something,

"While this is a strange product, indeed, more time to study it, I need." Zecora said,

"So, have you found anything?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"While there is still some things to be discovered, I am not sure if they can be uncovered." Zecora replied,

"Well, I'd like to watch and help if I can, Zecora." Twilight Sparkle said, and Zecora tried using some of the powder to make potions,

"It seems potions, it does not affect, so it should not change its effect." Zecora said,

"So it has no effect on potions, this sure is strange." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"I am sorry, but that is all I can do, what you do next is up to you." Zecora said,

"So, what now, Twilight?" Spike asked,

"We're going to the Crystal Empire, let's see if Sunburst can find anything." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they left.

Dwayne and Sunset Shimmer arrive at the animal shelter and they saw Fluttershy, she ran to them,

"Are you here to adopt an animal?" Fluttershy asked,

"Sorry, but no, I already adopted a cat back at my home." Dwayne replied,

"Oh, that's wonderful, how's the kitty been?" Fluttershy asked,

"It's fine now, my nephew's watching over it." Dwayne replied,

"Would you like a pet of your own... um?" Fluttershy asked,

"Dwayne." Dwayne replied,

"Oh my, what an unusual name." Fluttershy said,

"It's common from where I come from." Dwayne replied,

"Oh, so you're from another country." Fluttershy said,

"Actually, Fluttershy, he's just like me, he's from another world." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Oh, really? Is he from your world?" Fluttershy asked,

"No, he's from another world of humans." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"What's it like?" Fluttershy asked,

"It sucks." Dwayne replied,

"Dwayne, have you travelled your world?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"Yes, I went to six of the countries in my world." Dwayne replied,

"Out of how many countries?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"Ten." Dwayne replied,

"And what they were like?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"Same problems, people trying to kill one another, I only went to one country over the border, and they were much friendlier than the people of my own species." Dwayne replied, Fluttershy and Sunset Shimmer were shocked.

A customer comes in,

"Oh, sorry, but I have a customer, I have to go now, bye." Fluttershy said, and the two watch her,

"Well, let's go see Rarity next." Sunset Shimmer said, and the two leave.

Sunset Shimmer sees Rarity working on designing new outfits and she went to her,

"Hi, Rarity." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Oh, Sunset, darling, it is a pleasant surprise to see you here." Rarity replied,

"Meet, Dwayne, a new friend of mine." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Oh, why, hello. What? What is that outfit?" Rarity asked,

"My uniform from when I was in the army." Dwayne replied,

"Oh, the military always does have specific outfits, but there are some I don't think are very fashionable." Rarity said,

"What do you think about mine?" Dwayne asked,

"Well, maybe we can add a little bit more, I was thinking about putting another red armband on your right arm." Rarity replied,

"Oh right, I only have one on my left arm, it's detachable, though." Dwayne said,

"Exactly, so if we add a second one to your right, your outfit will be balanced." Rarity replied,

"Anything else you were thinking, Rarity?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"Of course, I was thinking about adding some jewelry onto Dwayne's outfit, the red and black are really nice together, maybe some rubies, no, that would be too much red, onyxes would not show up on the black, either, maybe some amethysts would work." Rarity replied,

"Sure, red, black, and purple is my favorite color combination." Dwayne said,

"What's your favorite color, Dwayne?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"Black." Dwayne replied, Rarity chuckled,

"My, what a pure coincidence." Rarity said,

"What is it, Rarity?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"Believe it or not, Sunset, dear, but Dwayne actually means black." Rarity replied,

"Wait, it does?" Sunset Shimmer asked with surprise,

"Yes, in my native language, my name means black." Dwayne replied,

"Wait, a minute, English is not your first language?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"No, it is, but I never learned my native language, the reason why my parents named me Dwayne is not a happy one." Dwayne replied,

"Do you care to explain, dear?" Rarity asked,

"No, I'd rather not look back." Dwayne replied,

"Twilight also told me you have a middle name and a last name." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Yeah, my middle name's Alroy, and my last name's O'Brien." Dwayne replied,

"Do they have meanings, too?" Rarity asked,

"Alroy means red haired, and O'Brien means held in high regard." Dwayne replied, Sunset Shimmer chuckled,

"Your middle name actually makes sense, I saw you with red hair when you were a child in your memories." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Wait, was his hair red like yours, Sunset Shimmer?" Rarity asked,

"No, it was a natural red." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Oh, you know, Dwayne, hair of that color doesn't turn white or grey for a very long time." Rarity said,

"I still hated the color, that is why I dyed my hair black, my sister did the same thing." Dwayne replied,

"You have a sister?!" Rarity asked with excitement,

"Not anymore, she's dead." Dwayne replied, Sunset Shimmer becomes horrified,

"Wait a minute, Dwayne, you didn't take her life, too, did you?!" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"No, someone else killed her." Dwayne replied, Rarity shrieked and then let out two exclaims of shock,

"A life? Taken?" Rarity asked,

"Rarity, believe me, people die all the time in my world." Dwayne replied,

"You still shouldn't say that, Dwayne, a lot of people don't want to hear it." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Really? In my world, no one wants to hear about the positive things of life, they just want the negatives." Dwayne replied,

"Well, the people in this world don't, you should see me with my friends sometime." Sunset Shimmer said,

"We're with one right now." Dwayne replied, Sunset Shimmer took notice of Dwayne's tone and body language, no matter what was brought up, he was calm, and his body did not stiffen up, Dwayne never glared once either,

"Dwayne, one question, how do you see the world?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"The world's a crappy place." Dwayne replied, Sunset Shimmer's jaw dropped and her eyes widened, so did Rarity's,

"No it's not, Dwayne, we fill the world with joy and beauty." Sunset Shimmer said,

"I'm sorry, darlings, but I have a busy schedule today, I must take my leave." Rarity said, and she walked away,

"Come on, Dwayne, let's take you to Pinkie Pie next." Sunset Shimmer said, and the two walk together.

Twilight Sparkle was on the train to the Crystal Empire with Spike and Starlight Glimmer,

"So, Twilight, what do you plan to ask Sunburst to do?" Starlight Glimmer asked,

"Just study it and report what he finds." Twilight Sparkle said, Starlight Glimmer chuckled,

"I'm not too sure on that, you know how he can be sometimes." Starlight Glimmer said,

"It's still worth a try, if this doesn't work, then I'm going to ask Sunset to do research on it in her world." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"I think we should just ask Dwayne directly." Spike said,

"But he might not know something we discover, so let's wait." Twilight Sparkle replied, the train stopped afterwards,

"Here we are, the Crystal Empire." the conductor said, and the three got off and went to go see Sunburst.

Dwayne and Sunset Shimmer go to the Sweet Snacks Café and enter,

"This is where Pinkie works in this world." Sunset Shimmer said,

"We don't have anyplace like this back in my world." Dwayne replied,

"If I remember right, Twilight also said you had a job back in your world." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Yeah, I work as a cashier at a fast food restaurant, part-time." Dwayne replied,

"Oh, I could never do that, too boring to me, I work at a sushi restaurant." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Do you like it?" Dwayne asked,

"Actually, yes, I do." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Lucky you, I hate my job." Dwayne said,

"Then why don't you get another job?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"I can't." Dwayne replied,

"Why not?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"My PTSD will disqualify me." Dwayne replied,

"Oh." Sunset Shimmer said, and the two sat together. Pinkie Pie roller skated to them,

"Hi, Sunset, who is this?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"Dwayne, he's from another world like me." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Oh, I remember that, Twilight in Equestria transferred you here by mistake, and Sunset took you here in hopes of reaching someone from your world, you did, and someone is going to try to come into this world." Pinkie Pie said,

"Are you and the other Pinkie Pie telepathically connected?" Dwayne asked,

"No, just a hunch." Pinkie Pie replied, Dwayne was relieved that Pinkie Pie was female, because the thoughts of her having a psychic disorder made him uncomfortable,

"Hold on, I know what'll cheer you up." Pinkie Pie said, and she left, she came back with a plate with a well done chicken breast on it, another plate with salad, and a cup of water,

"Hey, this is what I have for breakfast back in my world." Dwayne said,

"My senses are telling me you have this for breakfast all the time." Pinkie Pie replied,

"I do." Dwayne said,

"Don't you get tired of it?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"I don't know if Twilight Sparkle told you, but psychic disorders decrease one's appetite because they can go three hundred days without food." Dwayne replied,

"Still, I'd get tired having this for breakfast all the time." Sunset Shimmer said,

"You want some?" Dwayne asked,

"No." Sunset Shimmer replied, and Dwayne ate quickly and drank the water.

Dwayne sees and hears Pinkie Pie dancing and singing,

"She's quite energetic." Dwayne said,

"She's like that in class, too." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Best day ever!" Pinkie Pie said loudly while jumping in the air, Dwayne watched her and was stoic,

"Does she have a lot of friends in school?" Dwayne asked,

"Yes, Pinkie's friends with pretty much everybody." Sunset Shimmer replied, Pinkie Pie skated to Dwayne and hugged him,

"And you're my friend, too!" Pinkie Pie said,

"You're lucky you didn't go to my schools." Dwayne replied,

"Why?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"Because you would've been the most hated person in the school." Dwayne replied, Pinkie Pie let go and stopped smiling,

"What? Why?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"Because you're loud and like to party, that's annoying to the people at my home, also, they'll think you talk too much, and they'll bully you to no end." Dwayne replied,

"Ha! After growing up on a rock farm, I can take it!" Pinkie Pie said,

"You sure? My bullies were relentless." Dwayne replied, he closed his eyes and clenched his teeth while he remembered, Sunset Shimmer and Pinkie Pie touch him while concerned, he soon got better,

"Were they really that bad?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"Yes, Pinkie, I saw his memories, his bullies actually took the lives of other people." Sunset Shimmer replied, Pinkie Pie gasped,

"They... took lives?!" Pinkie Pie asked with horror, the others look at them with shock,

"Yes, I'm sorry to say that, Pinkie, but it's the truth, I know I used to be a bully, myself, but I was never near as bad as Dwayne's bullies, and I changed for the better, they didn't, they actually came back into Dwayne's life when he was an adult to bully him even more." Sunset Shimmer replied, Pinkie Pie had a shocked face,

"Yeah, they were attacking my nephew and new friends as well when I was an adult, my neighbor and I killed them when they broke into my home with the intent to hurt my nephew even more." Dwayne said, Pinkie Pie was speechless, she began to tear up,

"Hold on, I need some time alone." Pinkie Pie said, and she went into the bathroom,

"Come on, let's take you to Twilight next." Sunset Shimmer said, and she and Dwayne walk together.

Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike stand together while Sunburst examines Dwayne's medicine,

"This is very interesting, I've never seen anything like this, but according to my research, this is a type of medicine that affects the brain." Sunburst said,

"The brain? You think it is to help Dwayne manage his memories?" Starlight Glimmer asked,

"That would make sense, we all saw what happened his first night here, he destroyed part of Sugarcube Corner." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"Yeah, I remember that, maybe this is some kind of sleeping medicine." Spike said,

"It isn't, Spike, according to the effects of this medicine, yes, it does affect the entire brain, but it doesn't seem to put anyone to sleep, it seems this medicine affects the psychic disorder specifically, since each mental disorder affects a different part of the brain, the mutation is in a different spot for each person who has it, so this medicine affects the entire brain instead of one area." Sunburst explained,

"What about the rest of the brain that is not mutated?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"It has no affect on those areas." Sunburst replied,

"Anything else, Sunburst?" Starlight Glimmer asked,

"Nope, that's all I can find." Sunburst replied,

"Okay, it's time to write to Sunset." Twilight Sparkle said, and she begins to write to Sunset Shimmer with her magic.

Dwayne and Sunset Shimmer walk to Canterlot High and Sunset Shimmer's journal gets a new message, she takes it out and reads it,

Sunset,

Sunburst found out the medicine affects the entire brain at once, I couldn't find out much, so I would like for you to dig up some info on Dwayne's medicine so we can learn more about it.

Dwayne saw the message and read it along with Sunset Shimmer,

"She does know she could have just asked me, right?" Dwayne asked,

"Well, Twilight is Twilight, she just wants to learn things on her own before asking for answers." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Sounds pretty stupid to me." Dwayne said,

"Dwayne, Twilight always wants to learn things first, then ask questions if she doesn't know, I was the same." Sunset Shimmer replied, Dwayne did not show any emotion and they arrived at Canterlot High,

"Okay, Dwayne, come with me, Twilight should be in the library." Sunset Shimmer said, Dwayne's memories flood his mind and he grunts, he falls onto his knees while clutching his head, Dwayne pressed his teeth together with tears in his eyes while his experiences in all of his school years flood his mind. Sunset Shimmer ran to him and got on her knees to check on him,

"Dwayne, are you okay?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"Sorry, any school I go to awakens my memories of when I was in school." Dwayne replied, Sunset Shimmer placed her right hand on his back, and her left hand on his abdomen,

"Dwayne, remember, you're not alone this time, I'm here, I promise you, this school is much better than yours." Sunset Shimmer said, Dwayne panted and got better, he stood up while he still had tears in his eyes,

"I'll give it a try." Dwayne said, and the two walk together.

Sunset Shimmer took Dwayne to Principal Celestia's office to get a visitor's pass, Sunset Shimmer noticed that Dwayne was left handed, which was unusual to see in the human world,

"Is everything alright, Dwayne, I saw you collapse outside earlier." Principal Celestia said,

"Sorry, I have PTSD." Dwayne replied,

"Did the school grounds trigger a memory?" Principal Celestia asked,

"Actually, Principal Celestia, I looked into his memories, he had a really bad time in school, he was bullied by his classmates because of his race, ethnicity, and gender, he was scapegoated once because of his social class, and got no credit in group work because of his age." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Oh my, you suffered from discrimination, are things better now, Dwayne?" Principal Celestia asked,

"Yeah, I finished my education in college two months ago." Dwayne replied,

"Oh, so you already finished school." Principal Celestia said,

"Yeah, I was forced to drop out when I was seventeen, I got drafted into the army." Dwayne replied,

"You didn't finish your education when you were in the military?" Principal Celestia asked,

"After I got out, I served for four years." Dwayne replied,

"What was your rank and job when you got out?" Principal Celestia asked,

"E-1, janitor." Dwayne replied,

"That doesn't sound right." Principal Celestia said,

"I kept failing my physical tests, my waist is exactly thirty nine inches, my ASVAB score was thirty one, and I was diagnosed with PTSD while I was in MEPS." Dwayne replied,

"Did you discharge?" Principal Celestia asked,

"No, when there was only five of us left, me, our officer, and three other enlisted, our officer told us to go to the border of another country, we got attacked by two monsters, I ran away after the other three were killed, and that's how I got out." Dwayne replied,

"Wait, Dwayne, why didn't you fight those two?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"It was before my psychic disorder awakened." Dwayne replied,

"Oh." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Psychic disorder?" Principal Celestia asked,

"I'm not from this world, either." Dwayne replied,

"Oh, I see, no wonder why I didn't hear about it." Principal Celestia said,

"A psychic disorder is when someone with a mutation in their brains at where their mental disorders are at grants them powers." Sunset Shimmer replied, Principal Celestia was uneasy,

"That actually sounds scarier than the typical magic we have here." Principal Celestia said,

"It is, I've seen Dwayne use his powers, well, we have to go now." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Alright, have a good time, Dwayne." Principal Celestia said, and Dwayne and Sunset Shimmer exited the office.

Dwayne and Sunset Shimmer walk in the hallways while Dwayne looks around,

"My schools didn't have lockers." Dwayne said,

"So how did you get around?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"We carried everything by hand." Dwayne replied,

"Must've been heavy." Sunset Shimmer said,

"It was." Dwayne replied, he looks around and saw DJ Pon-3 wearing earphones,

"We didn't have earphones when I was a teenager, either." Dwayne said,

"Neither did I." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"I'm not surprised." Dwayne said,

"What's your favorite band, Dwayne? Mine is the Rainbooms." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Iron Maiden." Dwayne replied, Sunset Shimmer became surprised, she has never heard of that band,

"What songs do you like from them?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"Moonchild, Infinite Dreams, The Clairvoyant, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Aces High, Mother Russia, Powerslave, Fear of the Dark, Dance of Death, Flight of Icarus, To Tame a Land, Brave New World, Dream of Mirrors, Where the Wild Wind Blows, The Red and the Black, The Clansman, Alexander the Great, 2 Minutes 2 Midnight, Hallowed Be Thy Name, and my personal favorite, Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Dwayne replied, Sunset Shimmer was surprised at how many songs there were,

"I see, the Rainbooms doesn't have that many songs." Sunset Shimmer said,

"How long have they been around?" Dwayne asked,

"Since 2014." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Oh, they're still new." Dwayne said,

"Yeah." Sunset Shimmer replied, and they arrive at the library.

Twilight Sparkle was studying while the two walked to her, she looked up and saw them,

"Oh, hi, Sunset." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Hi, Twilight, this is Dwayne, the Twilight from my home world transferred him into Equestria by mistake, he's from another world, too, like me." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Hi, Dwayne." Twilight Sparkle said, and the two shook with their right hands, Dwayne was able to tell her apart from her glasses,

"Is your vision bad?" Dwayne asked,

"Yes, I can't see without my glasses." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"That reminds me, the you from my world is looking for a science book, she's doing research on Dwayne's medicine." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Really? Let me see it, you might not need a book." Twilight Sparkle replied, and Dwayne took it out. Twilight Sparkle examined the medicine while holding it in her right hand,

"What the? Wait a minute, this isn't even labeled." Twilight Sparkle said,

"What? Dwayne, that could be dangerous." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Well, it was recommended by my doctor, and it works, I never had a problem with that medicine." Dwayne said,

"Dr. Shadow or Dr. Pearl?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"Dr. Shadow." Dwayne replied,

"Dr. Shadow? That doesn't sound like a real doctor to me." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Trust me, he is, I was suspicious at first, too, but he proved to be a genuine doctor." Dwayne replied,

"Really? I would like to examine the contents of one of the pills to see if that's true." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Go on then." Dwayne replied, and Twilight Sparkle took a pill out of the bottle.

Twilight Sparkle goes to the science lab and examines the powder under a microscope, it looked like regular powder,

"Wait, what the? There's some kind of microscopic organism in this, it looks like an organism meant to shut down certain parts of the brain, I can tell it's genetically engineered, though." Twilight Sparkle said,

"What can you tell us about it, Twilight?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"It appears to have been created to prevent the brain from releasing certain secretions and chemicals, it shuts off a specific gland." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"Did you discover anything else?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"Nope, further research will involve experimentation, I don't have the time for it right now." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"I see, thanks, Twilight, we'll be going now." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Okay, see you two later." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the two leave.

Sunset Shimmer leads Dwayne outside and they see Vice Principal Luna,

"So you're the visitor, are you enjoying this school, Dwayne?" Vice Principal Luna asked,

"Not really, it's triggering painful memories." Dwayne replied,

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, it is a shame that not everyone has a good time in school." Vice Principal Luna said,

"Vice Principal Luna, I saw what Dwayne went through, his parents paid his teachers to make him fail." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"What?" Vice Principal Luna asked with shock,

"Yes, my teachers care more about money than teaching, they only helped students who were passing, while those who failed were left behind to fail." Dwayne replied, Vice Principal Luna was shocked,

"Do you want to enroll here?" Vice Principal Luna asked,

"I already finished my education." Dwayne replied,

"Oh, I see, well, don't cause any trouble." Vice Principal Luna said, and she left.

Sunset Shimmer continues leading Dwayne and they see Flash Sentry up ahead,

"Hi, Sunset, who is this?" Flash Sentry asked,

"This is Dwayne, I'm trying to help him find his home." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Actually, this place is better than my home." Dwayne said,

"Do you have a special someone at home, Dwayne?" Flash Sentry asked,

"Do you?" Dwayne asked,

"This is my ex-boyfriend, Dwayne." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"How close are you two?" Dwayne asked,

"We still share lunch with one another." Flash Sentry replied,

"You know, my female friends would sometimes grab my hands, and place it on their hearts." Dwayne said,

"Oh, that's lovely, it lets you know that they care about you." Sunset Shimmer replied, Dwayne smiled,

"Well, I'm sorry, Flash, but I have to take Dwayne to meet Rainbow Dash." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Alright, have fun." Flash Sentry replied, and they hugged one another and Flash Sentry shook hands with Dwayne, they then went their separate ways.

Sunset Shimmer took Dwayne to meet Rainbow Dash, who was kicking a soccer ball,

"Hi, Sunset, who is this?" Rainbow Dash asked,

"I'm Dwayne, you actually remind me of one of my classmates from college." Dwayne replied,

"I do?" Rainbow Dash asked,

"Yeah, Rachel, she loved soccer." Dwayne replied,

"Awesome! How about you?" Rainbow Dash asked,

"I'm more of a track person." Dwayne replied,

"Oh, I can do track, too, wanna race?" Rainbow Dash asked,

"I guess." Dwayne replied, and the two got in place,

"Ready, get set, go!" Rainbow Dash said, and the two ran. Rainbow Dash ran her regular speed while Dwayne still ran as fast as a greyhound. Rainbow Dash becomes shocked and she runs with her super speed, wearing her geode as well, Rainbow Dash went past Dwayne, he did not mind and continued running. Rainbow Dash beat him in a few seconds, Dwayne came to the finish line forty seconds later,

"Wow, I'll admit, you're a lot faster than the people I race." Rainbow Dash said,

"I have powers of my own." Dwayne replied,

"Yeah, I noticed that, there's no way a regular human can run that fast." Rainbow Dash said,

"Well, Dwayne, there's one more, time to go see Applejack." Sunset Shimmer said, the bell rung for classes to end and Dwayne follows Sunset Shimmer.

Twilight Sparkle was walking home with Starlight Glimmer and Spike, Twilight Sparkle's journal gets a note and she reads it,

Twilight,

We met your version of this world, she discovered that the powder has some kind of microscopic organism in Dwayne's medicine, it has been genetically engineered to shut down certain secretions and chemicals in the brain, she also discovered that it shuts off a specific gland in the brain.

"Shuts off a specific gland to prevent the release of certain secretions and chemicals in the brain? That would make sense, Dwayne's brain must release some kind of strange chemical and secretion from its hormones to make him transform." Twilight Sparkle said,

"What do you think that secretion is?" Spike asked,

"I don't know, it might be a secretion that normal brains don't have." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"Why don't we go ask Cheerilee and see if she knows anything?" Starlight Glimmer asked,

"I doubt she'd know anything, all that's left now is to ask Dwayne, himself." Twilight Sparkle replied, and the three go home.

Dwayne arrives at Applejack's home and saw her farm, it was bigger than the farms back in Dunland, Applejack was outside and Sunset Shimmer walked to her,

"Howdy, Sunset, who's this feller here?" Applejack asked,

"Dwayne, he's also from another world." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Hey." Dwayne said,

"Say, Dwayne, where'd ya get boots like those?" Applejack asked,

"The army." Dwayne replied,

"I have to admit, they do look painful." Sunset Shimmer said,

"They are, they're designed to hurt as much as possible when I kick someone." Dwayne replied,

"If ya here to work, you gotta change yer boots to some workin' boots, those ain't gonna last long on the farm." Applejack said,

"Actually, I have to go back to Sunset Shimmer's world soon." Dwayne replied,

"Oh." Applejack said,

"Well, in that case, let's invite everybody here." Sunset Shimmer replied, and she called her friends over. Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity come over to the farm to see Dwayne, they had their geodes as well,

"Oh, hold on, guys." Sunset Shimmer said, and she ran home, she came back with her geode,

"Okay, Dwayne, get ready to be surprised, behold, our powers." Sunset Shimmer said, and they transform, Dwayne was not surprised,

"I've seen people transform many times." Dwayne said,

"Oh, right, of course, you can transform, yourself, but watch our powers." Sunset Shimmer replied, and Fluttershy made animals obey her, Pinkie Pie threw sweets and confetti to make explosions, Rarity made shields appear, Rainbow Dash flew around really fast, Applejack showed off her physical strength, Twilight Sparkle levitated, and Sunset Shimmer had pyrokinesis,

"I think you all should know how fast I am at running." Dwayne said, the others looked at him,

"Oh yeah, our race, I am serious, guys, this guy is fast." Rainbow Dash said,

"How fast, exactly?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"My world's Twilight already tested his speed, he's as fast as a greyhound." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"A greyhound? That would mean he runs at a speed of no more than forty three miles per hour." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Yes, I've had greyhounds at the shelter before, too, they are very fast." Fluttershy replied,

"He's not just fast, guys, he's strong, too." Sunset Shimmer said,

"How strong?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"Do you mean in physical strength or endurance?" Dwayne asked,

"Both, actually." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Ooh, ooh, I know, let's see how this works." Pinkie Pie said, and she threw a box of sweets at him, it exploded on him,

"Pinkie!" the others said sternly,

"What?" Pinkie Pie asked, the smoke cleared and Dwayne was unharmed, causing the others to gasp,

"I'd like to arm wrestle your strongest member." Dwayne said,

"You sure, sugar cube? I'm very strong." Applejack replied,

"I can take it, promise." Dwayne said, the others floated down,

"Alright, but don't say I didn't warn ya if ya get hurt." Applejack said, and the two set up a table, they arm wrestle with their right hands, Dwayne was able to match Applejack's strength, shocking everyone,

"Whoo, this ain't somethin' that happens often, yer on, sugar cube." Applejack said, and the two wrestle, they were at a stalemate, but Applejack managed to move Dwayne's arm about half an inch before they both gave out,

"Yer mighty strong after all, most people can't match mah strength." Applejack said, and the two shook hands. Dwayne is contacted telepathically,

"Dwayne, this is Dr. Shadow, I can teleport into the world you're in, but it takes my magic and my other four comrades to just barely reach it, so once when I come, I won't be able to go back, at least not until me and the others can find a way to combine our magic to open another portal." Dr. Shadow said,

"Okay." Dwayne replied, and the telepathic contact ends,

"Stand back, someone from my world is coming to this one." Dwayne said, and they all stepped back while excited. A black mass appears to Dwayne's right and their excitements turned into fear. The blackness goes away and Dr. Shadow appeared, the girls look at him with pure shock, he was tall, he had on a black trench coat that was open, a black leather jacket that went just past his waist, black khakis, black mid-calf length boots, black leather gloves, and a brown metal rectangular mask with rectangular eye holes and two more holes for his nostrils it had a vertical bar and horizontal bar in the back, they formed a semicircle with spaces between the two, his eyes were brown, and the hair seen behind his mask was black. The girls were shocked at what they saw,

"What? Who is this?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"I am Dr. Shadow." Dr. Shadow replied, Twilight Sparkle held her right hand out,

"This... is Dr. Shadow?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"The one and only." Dwayne replied,

"What kind of doctor are you?" Fluttershy asked,

"I help people like Dwayne use their psychic disorders properly." Dr. Shadow replied,

"Still, if you're a doctor, your coat should be white, not black." Rarity said,

"This is no normal coat." Dr. Shadow replied,

"How so?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"Back in my world, black trench coats are bulletproof." Dwayne replied,

"But what about the front?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"I have magic of my own, that's how I got here." Dr. Shadow replied, shocking everyone,

"I'm sorry, guys, but I have to go back, come on, you two." Sunset Shimmer said, and they all hugged one another while Dr. Shadow stood back since he did not know them, the girls took a picture with Dwayne in it, he did not smile like how the other girls did,

"Here you go, Dwayne, something to remember your time with us." Pinkie Pie said,

"Thanks." Dwayne replied as he put the picture in his left back pocket,

"Okay, let's go." Sunset Shimmer said, and they walk to Canterlot High while she and the girls changed back.

Sunset Shimmer, Dwayne, and Dr. Shadow go through the portal and come into Equestria, the Mane Six were there and ran to them, shocked to see Dr. Shadow,

"Who is this?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"Dr. Shadow, he's my doctor." Dwayne replied,

"Doctor?! He looks like fake to me!" Rarity said,

"Yeah, he looks like a scammer." Rainbow Dash replied,

"He's the one who gives me the medicine." Dwayne said,

"Hey, your medicine has no taste." Pinkie Pie said,

"It is not meant to be tasteful, it is meant to control the psychic disorder." Dr. Shadow replied, the girls become shocked when they hear Dr. Shadow's deep and ghastly voice, he spoke in a low and soft tone,

"So, uh, you're a human, too." Fluttershy said,

"No, I just look human, I'm something else." Dr. Shadow replied,

"Do ya have a psychic disorder, too?" Applejack asked,

"No, but I do have magic." Dr. Shadow replied,

"Magic?" the Mane Six and Starlight Glimmer asked with shock,

"Yeah, he does, he teleported into that world." Sunset Shimmer replied, shocking the girls and Spike,

"Unfortunately, reaching that world took my magic and the magic of four more to reach it, this world is just out of reach, I'm here to investigate how Dwayne got here, and try to open a portal to take him home." Dr. Shadow said,

"Oh, so you're here to take him home, I'll explain everything tomorrow, it's getting late; and, Dwayne, I would like for you to explain the medicine since we couldn't find much information." Twilight Sparkle said,

"You know the guy who gives it to me is right here, right?" Dwayne asked,

"Oh, well, what is that medicine?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"It is a medicine that shuts down the chemicals and secretions that activates one's psychic disorder, the mutation in their brains emit unique brainwaves, the Hunters look for those brainwaves with their technology, so they can find them, track them, and kill them." Dr. Shadow replied, shocking everybody,

"That was not an answer I was expecting." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Me neither." Spike replied,

"Well, it's almost bedtime, we'll continue our discussions tomorrow, goodnight, everybody." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Goodnight." everybody replied, and they all go home.

Dwayne slept in Sugarcube Corner with Dr. Shadow meditating to his left, he did not need to sleep to survive, Dwayne was dreaming about Flint, the two were playing video games together, they beat a level and Flint began cheering, he was jumping up and down as well, Dwayne smiled in real life as he continued to sleep.
