Dwayne wakes up the next morning and saw Dr. Shadow was sitting to his left,

"Still having nightmares?" Dr. Shadow asked,

"Yeah." Dwayne replied,

"Sorry about that, but as you know, I can't do anything about it." Dr. Shadow said,

"Well, I might as well start work." Dwayne replied, and he went to the front of Sugarcube Corner,

"Surprise!" Pinkie Pie said happily with her party cannon going off, and confetti and streamers coming out,

"Welcome to Ponyville, you two!" Pinkie Pie said loudly, Dwayne and Dr. Shadow look around and see it was a welcoming party,

"Thanks, but we don't plan to be here for long." Dr. Shadow replied,

"Yeah, I still have to go home and read that letter I got before I got transferred here." Dwayne said,

"Oh, come on, try to have fun while you two stay here, I got every sweet there is for this party, go on and try some." Pinkie Pie replied,

"Okay." Dwayne said, and he walked over,

"You too, Dr. Shadow." Pinkie Pie said,

"I never get hungry or thirsty." Dr. Shadow replied, everybody stops what they are doing and look at Dr. Shadow with shock,

"Oh, you're joking, are you?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"No, I'm serious, I really never do get hungry or thirsty." Dr. Shadow replied,

"Wait a minute, now that I think about it, you didn't sleep last night, either." Pinkie Pie said,

"I never get tired, and I don't need sleep to survive." Dr. Shadow replied,

"What about using the bathroom?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"I never have to use the bathroom, either." Dr. Shadow replied, shocking everybody,

"What? That doesn't make sense." Twilight Sparkle said,

"It's because I created a potion with four other doctors many years ago." Dr. Shadow replied,

"Many years ago?" Fluttershy asked,

"I'm older than I look." Dr. Shadow replied,

"How old, exactly?" Rainbow Dash asked,

"I've been alive since prehistory." Dr. Shadow replied,

"What about your four other friends?" Rainbow Dash asked,

"Yes." Dr. Shadow replied,

"Honestly, you don't look that old." Applejack said,

"That's because the potion I took keeps me young forever." Dr. Shadow replied,

"Young forever? You must tell me the name of the potion." Rarity said while smiling,

"It doesn't have a name, but my four partners and I called it our version of the elixir of life." Dr. Shadow replied,

"Elixir of life? Do you know that one, Twilight?" Starlight Glimmer asked,

"Actually, no, I've never heard of that potion." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"Where are you from?" Spike asked,

"A civilization that was on the border of modern day Nanya and Elysis, a civilization as old as Hamoukar." Dr. Shadow replied,

"Hamoukar?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"Wait, I know that civilization from the history books in the other world, it's older than the Sumerian civilization." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"If I remember right, it was around during the fourth millennium BC, and... what year is it in your world, Dwayne?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"2011." Dwayne replied, Sunset Shimmer calculated while mumbling and becomes shocked,

"That means Dr. Shadow is over six thousand years old!" Sunset Shimmer said, the others gasp and look at him,

"You're even older than the princesses!" Sweetie Belle said,

"How old are they?" Dr. Shadow asked,

"Between one and two thousand years old." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"People don't live that long on my and Dwayne's world." Dr. Shadow said,

"Enough with the origins, let's party!" Pinkie Pie said loudly, and everyone did, Dwayne tried the sweets Pinkie Pie made for him while Dr. Shadow went into Dwayne's room and meditated, the party finished and everyone got on with their days.

Dwayne worked at Sugarcube Corner as a cashier and tended to the customers while Pinkie Pie baked, counting bits proved to be easier than counting cents and dollars. Pinkie Pie walked over to Dwayne's left when there were no customers,

"Dwayne?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"Yes?" Dwayne asked,

"Are you having fun working here?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"This is actually neutral for me, I don't like it or dislike it." Dwayne replied,

"What about the restaurant you worked at?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"I hated it." Dwayne replied,

"Why?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"I was paid below minimum wage there because of my mental disorder, and I was worried about my coworker, she only got the job by being in a relationship with the manager." Dwayne replied, Pinkie Pie's jaw dropped,

"But... that's not how you get a job." Pinkie Pie said,

"That's not what worried me about her." Dwayne replied,

"What was it, then?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"If customers paid her extra money, they could touch her private parts." Dwayne replied, Pinkie Pie screamed out of shock,

"That's a no-no! I mean, sure, I'm friends with everyone I meet, and I touch people a lot, but never in their private parts." Pinkie Pie said,

"Not all of them, Pinkie Pie, they only could if she was paid extra, I was never comfortable watching." Dwayne replied,

"But still, that's wrong." Pinkie Pie said, Dwayne had memories of his dark secret and wondered what will happen if they find out,

"Did anyone ever touch you in your private parts, Pinkie Pie?" Dwayne asked,

"Well, my parents, and the doctor, but it was to check on me and make sure I was okay." Pinkie Pie replied,

"I mean, as in for their pleasure." Dwayne said, Pinkie Pie screamed,

"No! Even if they pay me, I won't let them, things I do are supposed to be fun for everybody, including myself, me being touched in my private parts is not fun to me!" Pinkie Pie replied,

"You're not like my coworker, she enjoyed it." Dwayne said,

"What was she called?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"You mean my coworker?" Dwayne asked,

"What's her name?" Pinkie Pie asked,

"Fayley." Dwayne replied,

"Fayley?" Pinkie Pie asked in a confused tone,

"Yeah, her name is a fusion of her parents' names, her mother's name was Hayley, and her father's name was Farley." Dwayne replied,

"What a strange name." Pinkie Pie said,

"Yeah, I thought that, too, but then again, she's not the same species as me, so maybe it's a normal name in her culture." Dwayne replied, the door opened and Derpy came in, she was the customer,

"Hey, Derpy. What would you like?" Dwayne asked,

"A muffin, please." Derpy replied,

"What kind of muffin?" Dwayne asked,

"Banana and blueberry muffin, please." Derpy replied,

"That'll be five bits." Dwayne said, and Derpy paid him, Pinkie Pie dashed to her with the muffin,

"Here you go." Pinkie Pie said,

"Thank you." Derpy replied, and she left,

"Well, Dwayne, it's almost time to close up the morning shift, see you later." Pinkie Pie said,

"Alright, bye." Dwayne replied, and he left Sugarcube Corner.

Dwayne walked out and around Ponyville, he stopped when he saw Dr. Shadow in front of him,

"Twilight Sparkle has already filled me in on how you got here, there's no need for you to explain, come, let's see if you're still using your psychic disorder properly." Dr. Shadow said,

"The medicine's still in effect." Dwayne replied, Dr. Shadow grabs Dwayne's head with his right hand and uses his magic to undo the medicine's effect,

"Alright, let's go far away from here, and see if you still need training." Dr. Shadow said, and the two walk together.

Dwayne and Dr. Shadow walk and they see Spike being picked on by Garble and his friends, they laugh shove him around and hit him,

"What's wrong, Spike? Too hard for you?" Garble asked, the dragons laugh,

"Come on, Spike, arm wrestle." Garble said, and the two wrestle with their right arms, it ends with Garble throwing Spike to the side, the dragons laugh,

"See, that's what you get for growing with namby-pamby ponies." Garble said, the other dragons laugh. Dwayne had flashbacks of his own childhood when fully grown adults would physically attack him, he gets angry and goes to the dragons,

"Who is this?" Garble asked,

"Wait, Dwayne, don't." Spike said,

"I challenge you to an arm wrestle." Dwayne said, shocking Spike,

"What? You? Oh please." Garble said,

"I am stronger than I look." Dwayne replied,

"Fine, prepare to lose." Garble said, and the two grab each other's right arms. Everybody sees it and they all go to watch,

"Now, this oughta be good." Gilda said,

"You can say that again." Gallus replied,

"I wonder who's going to win." Smolder said,

"I'm betting on Dwayne." Rainbow Dash replied,

"So am I, sugar cube." Applejack said,

"Yona bet Dwayne win, too." Yona replied, and they wrestle, Garble became shocked,

"W... what the? I can't move his arm." Garble said, causing the others to become shocked. The two keep wrestling and Garble could not move Dwayne's arm, Dwayne was calm while Garble struggled, Spike watched in excitement at seeing Dwayne wrestle Garble. The two keep wrestling for a few seconds and Dwayne adds a little bit more force to his hand, everybody hears a snap and Garble screams loudly in agony, it was so loud, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence flew into Ponyville to see what it was. Garble screamed in pain and everybody gasped when they saw Garble's right hand and lower half of his forearm were bent backwards,

"Golly!" Applejack said with shock,

"I can't believe it! Dwayne broke his arm!" Rainbow Dash said with shock, Garble screamed in pain and cried a bit,

"You're lucky this is my weak arm." Dwayne said, everybody gasped,

"What?! You mean... your left arm is even stronger?!" Garble asked with horror,

"Trust me, if we wrestle with our left arms, I'm going to rip your entire arm off." Dwayne replied calmly, everybody exclaimed out of horror,

"I suggest you leave, or I rip off that arm." Dwayne said,

"I'll be your opponent instead." a male blue dragon said,

"No." Dwayne replied calmly,

"Why?" the male blue dragon asked,

"I only fight to kill." Dwayne replied, the dragons screamed while the others looked on in horror,

"Run!" a male yellow dragon said, and they took off. Princess Celestia walks to Dwayne with the Mane Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer,

"Dwayne, your beliefs on battle is highly unacceptable." Princess Celestia said,

"How?" Dwayne asked,

"Dude! Taking a life is not cool!" Rainbow Dash replied,

"First time I was ever told that." Dwayne said,

"Didn't you have enemies back at home, Dwayne?" Fluttershy asked,

"A lot, I stopped them all through bloodshed." Dwayne replied, shocking everyone,

"You didn't offer them friendship?!" Starlight Glimmer asked,

"They would've rejected it." Dwayne replied,

"You have a lot to learn, Dwayne! That is not how we do things here!" Applejack said,

"My ways of doing things always worked back at home." Dwayne replied, the others glared at him,

"What did you do?" Sunset Shimmer asked,

"A lot." Dwayne replied,

"Behave yourself, Dwayne, you have a lot to learn about honor, grace, and restraint." Princess Celestia said,

"Restraint?" Dwayne asked,

"Yes, you fight like a wild animal, Dwayne, you could learn a thing or two about actual combat." Princess Celestia replied, Dwayne did not respond, and everybody left,

"Let's go, Dwayne." Dr. Shadow said, Dwayne walked with him.

The two arrive at an open area surrounded by trees, they were far away from civilization,

"Alright, Dwayne, transform." Dr. Shadow said, and Dwayne's painful memories flooded his mind, he screamed and his eyes glowed light blue, he changed to his disorder form,

"Okay, we'll just start with the small fries of the Hunters." Dr. Shadow said, and he uses his magic to make Hunter soldiers appear.

"Doctor." Dwayne complained,

"Yes, Dwayne?" Dr. Shadow asked,

"These are just the regular solders of the Hunters, I don't need to transform to take them down." Dwayne replied,

"Show me, then." Dr. Shadow said, and Dwayne changed back,

"Can I have my guns, too?" Dwayne asked, and Dr. Shadow made two pistols appear, one in each of Dwayne's side pockets. Dwayne held the pistols in his hands and he ran towards them.

The Regular Hunter took out a pistol and began to shoot at Dwayne, the loud bullets scared Ponyville and they screamed in terror at how loud it was, the Mane Six, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Spike go over,

"What's going on?" Twilight Sparkle asked as they arrived, they look and see Dwayne being tested, they were surprised by what they saw. The Regular Hunter shoot pistol bullets at Dwayne and he was hit, but the bullets bounced off; Dwayne hears a distinct sound and saw nails being shot, he saw the Heavy Hunter shooting at him with a two-handed nail gun; Dwayne strafed to his right and hits the Regular Hunter with his left hand by doing a knifehand strike to the back of its head, its neck got severed and the Regular Hunter's head falls off, causing the nine to gasp.

The Heavy Hunter continues shooting the nails at Dwayne and he was careful, he runs to the Heavy Hunter and he jumps up and kicks the Heavy Hunter in the head with his right foot, he grunts a little when he lands on the ground, the Heavy Hunter's armor was undamaged. Dwayne looks over his own right shoulder and sees the Heavy Hunter turning around, he runs to it and punches his left fist through the visor, and then fires a shot from the pistol in his left hand, the ponies and Spike cover their ears' from how loud the gunshot was.

The Stealth Hunter turns invisible and moves around, causing the ponies and Spike to gasp. Dwayne looks around and tries to find the Stealth Hunter, it appears in a tree and fires a suppressed pistol at Dwayne, even though it was suppressed, it was still loud. Dwayne got shot in the back and the bullet bounced off of him due to his psychic disorder enhancing his durability, along with his fear and distress levels being a little high right now since he was fighting. The Stealth Hunter disappeared again and Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer try using their magic in hopes of finding it. Dwayne listens carefully and looks where he hears the Stealth Hunter, it appears in front of him with a knife blade on its left wrist, it tries to slash Dwayne, but he grabs the Stealth Hunter's hand with his right hand and twists it, breaking it, Dwayne then punches the Stealth Hunter in the face with his left fist, his fist went through the front and back of the helmet, the Stealth Hunter slides off of Dwayne's arm.

The Medic Hunter holds its right arm out and a beam comes out of the gun, a red laser goes to the Regular Hunter, Heavy Hunter, and Stealth Hunter, they were outlined, and soon fully healed and revived. The nine watching were completely shocked,

"What in tarnation?!" Applejack asked,

"What the...? How did it...?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

Dwayne focused on the Medic Hunter, its eyes glow red and it shoots red laser projectiles out, they shot out at the speed of a machine gun, Dwayne dodged them while the Regular Hunter shot its pistol, the Heavy Hunter shot its nail gun, and the Stealth Hunter turned invisible to moved around, and tried to shoot Dwayne with its suppressed pistol. Dwayne moves around and focused on the Medic Hunter first, Dwayne ran to it and punched his right fist into its abdomen, blue electricity came out and the Medic Hunter shut down and fell onto the ground. Dwayne ran to the Heavy Hunter and punched his right fist into its visor, he shot the pistol in his right hand and the Heavy Hunter fell. The Stealth Hunter appears in front of Dwayne in an attempt to shoot him, but Dwayne fired a shot from the pistol in his left hand and hit the Stealth Hunter in its throat, it fell over. The Regular Hunter shoots its pistol at Dwayne and kept missing, Dwayne ran to him, jumped up, landed behind it, and did a quick one hundred eighty counterclockwise spin, he held his left hand out and hit the Regular Hunter, its head flew off.

The Mecha Hunter's red slanted eyes glow and it shoots out red heat rays, they burned the grass. Dwayne jumped to his right to dodge it, the Mecha Hunter proceeds to aim the machine gun in its left arm and it fired, Dwayne ran around to make the Mecha Hunter run out of bullets. The Mecha Hunter's machine gun ran out of bullets after a thousand five hundred bullets, it aimed the grenade launcher in its right arm next, it shot one and Dwayne jumped back, the grenade exploded and destroyed part of the ground, the ponies and Spike were shocked and horrified at how much damage the grenade did. The Mecha Hunter ran out of ammo after six shots, its shoulders opened and revealed missiles, each shoulder had twenty small missiles in them. All forty of them fire at once and they home on Dwayne, he watches them and jumps back as far as he could when the guided missiles all hit the same area, the shockwave knocked him back, it also destroyed some of the ground, Twilight Sparkle was especially uncomfortable at what she saw. Dwayne got back on his feet and was ready to fight, the Mecha Hunter began to run, it was as fast as Dwayne, shocking the others watching it,

"No way!" Rainbow Dash said with shock,

"I don't understand, how can something so big and so heavy move so fast?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

the Mecha Hunter keeps running and it jumps, ready to smash Dwayne with its feet. Dwayne jumps back and it lands, Dwayne then jumps onto the Mecha Hunter's head and he punches into it with his right hand, he rips out a person who was in it, the person was dressed just like a Regular Hunter. Dwayne squeezes his neck and breaks it, he drops the person while the Mecha Hunter's armor just shut itself down.

The Music Box Hunter walks forward and begins cranking the handle, the music box plays distorted music notes and light blue shockwaves came out of it. Dwayne grunted and fell to his knees while the other nine covered their ears', not liking the sound,

"Gah!" Rainbow Dash said, Pinkie Pie screamed her lungs out at hearing the music box,

"Dwayne, remember, the music box prevents you from using your psychic disorder, find another way around if you can." Dr. Shadow said, Dwayne looks and saw afterimages of the Music Box Hunter behind it. Dwayne moved back to get away from the shockwaves, the Music Box Hunter began walking forward. Dwayne moved back and began to run forward, he jumps and goes over the shockwaves, he lands on the Music Box Hunter's shoulders, he then jumps off and lands on his hands, he claps his feet together and smashes the Music Box Hunter's head, causing the nine watching to look away.

The Aquatic Hunter walks forward and Dr. Shadow uses his magic to make a body of water appear, shocking the ponies and dragon. The Aquatic Hunter presses the triggers on the bottom of its hands and they fire the harpoons in its wrists, Dwayne dodges them and runs to the Aquatic Hunter, he jumps and tackles it, the two fall into the water. The ponies and Spike run to the water and see Dwayne and the Aquatic Hunter in the water, the Aquatic Hunter continues shooting the harpoons and Dwayne swam around to dodge them, he swam towards the Aquatic Hunter and it tried to slash him with the shark teeth that made up its claws, it swims around and tries to attack him. Dwayne grabs its hands and squeezes them, he smashes its hands, revealing black wires inside the hands, while the hands were gray and metallic. The Aquatic Hunter was now defenseless, Dwayne grabs its gills and rips them off, but the Aquatic Hunter still breathed because of its oxygen tank, Dwayne swam to behind the Aquatic Hunter and punched the oxygen tank with his left hand. The Aquatic Hunter flew around underwater and was soon out of oxygen, it struggles for air and soon drowns, making the others uncomfortable.

Dwayne swims out and exhales deeply, he sees the Aerial Hunter flying to him, it holds its arms out and its silver and metallic wings detach and home on Dwayne, he jumps and rolls around to dodge them, the ponies and Spike were shocked, they realized the feathers on the Aerial Hunter's wings were actually missiles. The Aerial Hunter soon runs out and it flies down and grabs Dwayne with the talons on its feet, Dwayne grabs its wings and rips them off, they begin to fall and the others except for Dr. Shadow gasps. The Aerial Hunter's jetpack activates, and they keep flying. The Aerial Hunter tries to slash Dwayne with the talons on its hands, Dwayne grabbed them and held them, he headbutted the oxygen mask and broke it, he then headbutted the Aerial Hunter and hit it in the face, disorienting it. The Aerial Hunter lets go of Dwayne but he quickly grabs it and grabbed its oxygen tank, Dwayne punched the left side of it with his right fist and broke it, Dwayne then let go and fell. The Aerial Hunter then flew up high to do an attack, but it could not breathe, suffocated, and fell onto the ground, the natives watching looked away when they heard a crack.

The Elite Hunter took the sniper rifle off of its back and aimed it, it fired while flying and Dwayne stepped back to dodge it, he looks and saw the Elite Hunter flying, it fires another shot from its sniper rifle, Dwayne dodged it again. Dwayne ran towards it and jumped, he tried to grab the Elite Hunter, but it turns invisible and moved around, Dwayne lands on the ground and tries to hear the Elite Hunter. Dwayne hears the music box again and he grunted and fell to his knees, he looks and sees where in the sky it was coming from, the Elite Hunter then turned visible and red lines came out of its eyes, they outlined the other nine Hunter henchmen and they were all revived. The other Hunter soldiers attack Dwayne while he looked for the Elite Hunter, he sees the feather-shaped missiles coming towards him, Dwayne looks and sees the Aerial Hunter firing them, and another invisible figure firing more. Dwayne ran around to dodge the missiles, he was about to jump, but he grunted and fell to his knees when the Music Box Hunter used the music box on him from behind. The nine Hunter soldiers gather around to finish him off, the ponies and Spike watched worriedly, but Dwayne jumped up when they were around him, he grabbed onto the Elite Hunter and the two went into the water, the Aquatic Hunter ran into the water to help the Elite Hunter. Dwayne and the Elite Hunter swam in the water, it had the sniper rifle on its back, and was holding a music box, it plays the music box and Dwayne was powerless again, the Aquatic Hunter gets into the water and hits Dwayne onto the floor of the water body, the Elite Hunter played the music box while it swam down. Dwayne hits the Aquatic Hunter in its face with his right fist and disoriented it, he then swam forward to get out of the music box's range. Dwayne swam up and grabbed the Elite Hunter from behind, he restrained its arms and it dropped the music box. The Elite Hunter swims around at great speeds in hopes Dwayne will let go, he did not, so it activated its jetpack and flew into the sky, it flew down slammed Dwayne into the ground with its back, Dwayne grunted in the process. Dwayne got up and saw the Mecha Hunter and the Elite Hunter running to him, the ponies and Spike could not believe what they saw, the Elite Hunter was even faster than the Mecha Hunter. The Elite Hunter ran towards Dwayne, but he jumped over the Elite Hunter, the Heavy Hunter walked forward and began firing its nail gun at Dwayne, he dodged the nails with the other Hunter soldiers. Dwayne saw the Heavy Hunter and the Elite Hunter beside one another, he ran to them and punched the Heavy Hunter in its face with his right fist, and the Elite Hunter in its face with his left hand, his fear and distress levels increased his strength, the Heavy Hunter's armor cracked a little while the Elite Hunter was undamaged, the ponies and Spike were horrified, the Elite Hunter was also more durable than the Heavy Hunter. The Elite Hunter's eyes light up and Dwayne sees it, he runs away and orange lasers shot out like a machine gun, they all missed, so the Elite Hunter stopped, and shot two orange heat rays out instead, they hit a tree and burned it. The Regular Hunter shoots its pistol at Dwayne and it soon ran out of ammo, Dwayne dodged the bullets, he then saw the Medic Hunter shoot red lasers from its eyes, which he also dodged. The Stealth Hunter appears in front of him and tries to slash him with its knife, the Elite Hunter appeared behind him and proceeded to choke him, Dwayne grabs the Elite Hunter's hands and rips its arms off, revealing its arms to be robotic, he then turned around and choked the Elite Hunter, he smashed its arteries in the process and the Elite Hunter fell.

The Medic Hunter aims its gun at the Elite Hunter and began to revive it, but Dwayne quickly ran to him and punched him in the abdomen with his right fist, blue electricity appeared on it and it fell onto the ground. Dwayne then went to the Stealth Hunter and choked it with both of his hands until it died. The Music Box Hunter plays the music box and Dwayne ran and jumped over the shockwaves, his left foot went through its head and killed it, Dwayne jumped off and landed on the ground while the Music Box Hunter fell. Dwayne ran to the Aerial Hunter and jumped into the air, he grabbed onto the Aerial Hunter's back and it fell onto the ground, Dwayne punched his left fist into the back of its head and killed it. The Aquatic Hunter tackles Dwayne from his left and they went into the water, Dwayne punched his left fist through its head and killed it. Dwayne comes out of the water and went to the Mecha Hunter next, they ran to one another and Dwayne jumped onto its head, he punched into the head with his right fist and took out the Hunter controlling the mecha, Dwayne choked the Hunter to death and dropped it. Dwayne jumped off of the Mecha Hunter and went to the Heavy Hunter next, he punched his left fist into its visor and fired the pistol in his left hand that he was holding the whole time and killed it. Dwayne then took his hand out and ran to behind the Regular Hunter, and shot it in the back of its head with the pistol in his right hand and kills it.

Dr. Shadow claps slowly while the ponies and Spike looked on in pure shock at the fact that Dwayne has won,

"Good job, Dwayne, you never did need to use your powers to take down the Hunters, and you still don't." Dr. Shadow said,

"You forgot the Disorder Hunters." Dwayne replied,

"They're not regular soldiers, Dwayne, I don't feel like bringing back members of the Psychics, so I have two last opponents for you to fight." Dr. Shadow said, and he uses his magic to make them appear, they were both Dwayne, much to everybody else's shocks,

"Wait, I think I know what this is, one is a mirror match, the other is the reverse of me." Dwayne said,

"Exactly, you will be fighting the one with the natural psychic disorder first." Dr. Shadow replied, and the Dwayne to the left walks forward.

Natural Dwayne's eyes glow light blue and he changes, Dwayne then changed into his disorder form, the two had the same forms, Natural Dwayne shoots ice out of his right hand, and water out of his left hand, Dwayne teleports to Natural Dwayne and grabs the bandage wrappings around his left hand, Natural Dwayne moves back and the bandage wrappings come off, revealing he did not have a head, only his eyes were there. The ponies and Spike gasp in shock,

"Dwayne... doesn't... have a physical body when he's in that form?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"No way." Starlight Glimmer said,

"Just when Ah thought things couldn't get more strange." Applejack said, and they continue watching the fight.

Dwayne throws the bandage wrappings to his right, Natural Dwayne teleports to it and puts it back on, Dwayne remembers how he got the scars on his back, and his cloak becomes tougher and flows more, Dwayne lunges forward and snarled. Dwayne hits Natural Dwayne with the hardened cloak, but Natural Dwayne uses the same memory to make his own armor harder to resist it. Dwayne's cloak hits Natural Dwayne, but it did nothing, Natural Dwayne grabs the cloak with his left hand and shoots ice onto it with his right hand, Dwayne aims his left hand at the cloak and shoots water onto it to melt the ice. Dwayne teleported away and then used his memory of him getting shot in his right forearm to do another attack, he spread his legs apart and held his arms out, bullets came out of his body. Natural Dwayne uses the same memory and makes a shield of Kevlar surround himself, blocking the bullets. Dwayne stops and remembers another memory, he had a fourth scar, it was inside his mouth, on his left palatoglossal arch, teeth come out of Dwayne's body and he lunges forward while screeching. Natural Dwayne makes the shield disappear and notices the memory Dwayne was using, he uses the same memory and flexes his arms, he made his own armor tougher, it shined more as well. Dwayne and Natural Dwayne were stuck to one another, the two scream and destroy the teeth, Dwayne then teleported forward and knocked Natural Dwayne onto the ground, two light blue beams shoot out, one from each of Dwayne's eyes, and they go into Natural Dwayne's eyes,

"Wait, what is that?" Rainbow Dash asked,

"I, most certainly am curious, too, I have never seen that before." Rarity replied,

"Let's keep watching, we might find out." Twilight Sparkle said, and they keep watching.

Dwayne sees Natural Dwayne's psychic disorder, his mental disorder was PTSD, his fears were the fears of people and society, and he saw where the mutated part of his brain was at. Dwayne stops firing the beams and he punches his right fist into Natural Dwayne's bandage wrappings, where his head should be, Dwayne then pulled his arm out, he was holding a gray piece of the brain. Natural Dwayne screamed and his body contorted and exploded, the others watch in horror, Natural Dwayne soon disintegrated and all that was left of him was a puddle of boiling and bubbling blood.

Dr. Shadow makes Natural Dwayne disappear, and the other Dwayne walked forward,

"You have beaten yourself with a natural psychic disorder, now, beat yourself when you have an artificial one." Dr. Shadow said,

"Artificial?!" the ponies and Spike said together with shock.

Artificial Dwayne has a ringing in his ears and he grunted in pain while he fell onto his knees. Artificial Dwayne's body begins to mutate, he screams in pain while his clothes rip, his body began growing bigger, his back grew and it soon exploded, revealing a blob of people, the others gasped while Twilight Sparkle had her front hooves over her mouth, and her eyes widened. Artificial Dwayne's face splits in half to reveal another face, his body mutates into the faces and bodies of other people. Dwayne jumped forward while growling and tried to attack him, but a purple shield appeared and it knocked Dwayne back. Artificial Dwayne's inner biceps grow and the faces and bodies of other people come out, people came out of his shoulders as well, forming shoulder pads, two faces came out of each of Artificial Dwayne's calves, and his abdomen remained the same, Artificial Dwayne stood up and roared at Dwayne.

The two ran to one another and they were at equal speed, Artificial Dwayne remembers the memory of the fire and he held his hands out, he shot fire out of his left hand, and wind out of his right hand, Dwayne remembers the same memory and makes a shield of ice and water appear all around him. The fire, wind, ice, and water cancel out each other, Dwayne also had a shield of nomex around himself, he takes it down and then shot water and ice at Artificial Dwayne, he made a shield of fire and wind appear around himself, Dwayne screamed and destroyed the shield, he had a second shield made from Styrofoam soaked in gasoline under it, it got destroyed as well. Artificial Dwayne screamed and it made a music box appear. The music box plays the distorted notes, Dwayne grunted and changed back, he fell to his knees while Artificial Dwayne absorbed the shockwaves and made himself stronger. Artificial Dwayne lunged towards Dwayne while snarling, he was faster than before, Dwayne grabbed his hands, he bent his back and then moved forward, he threw Artificial Dwayne at the music box and destroyed it, Dwayne then stood back up and changed to his disorder form. Artificial Dwayne remembers the memory of the gunshot and he makes pistols appear on his wrists, he begins firing and Dwayne made the Kevlar shield reappear. Dwayne teleported to behind Artificial Dwayne and tried firing bullets from his body again, Artificial Dwayne turned his body into a bunch of gun muzzles, and the bullets went in and did not harm him. Artificial Dwayne remembers how he got the scars on his back, and eight brown whips wrapped in rusty razor wire come out of his back, they go towards Dwayne. Dwayne turns around and makes his cloak hardened again, the two attack and the whips get stuck on Dwayne's cloak, the whips pull Dwayne forward and he made his armor harden, while Artificial Dwayne wrapped his own body in razor wires, the two collide. Artificial Dwayne remembers the scar in his mouth, and made brown beer bottles with bottle caps come out of the mouths of his form to cut Dwayne, who made teeth appear to stab the bottle caps, Artificial Dwayne turned his body into glass with sharp edges around himself, Dwayne made his own body as hard as tooth enamel to resist it, his armor shined from it. Artificial Dwayne looks into Dwayne's eyes and two dark orange beams came out of his eyes and go into Dwayne's eyes, he found where the mutation in his brain was at. Artificial Dwayne got ready to attack with his right hand, but Dwayne screamed to destroy the razor wires and bottle caps, he punched his left fist into Artificial Dwayne's main head and ripped the mutation out of his head.

Artificial Dwayne screamed in pain and his body contorted and exploded in several areas, only a puddle of bubbling and boiling blood remained. Dr. Shadow makes Artificial Dwayne disappear and he walks over to Dwayne,

"Good job, Dwayne, even though your fear and distress levels are low in this world, you are still powerful enough to defend yourself." Dr. Shadow said,

"I wonder how Jin would have done." Dwayne replied,

"Probably better, you and Jin were always at odds, I remember, you two argued and bickered about morals and methods of fighting." Dr. Shadow said,

"I also developed a fear of becoming like him as well." Dwayne replied,

"I noticed, but it's not as big as your fears of people and society, I can see why you're scared to become like him, he is too ruthless for your liking." Dr. Shadow said,

"Is there anything else to learn today?" Dwayne asked,

"No, that's all for now." Dr. Shadow replied,

"Alright then." Dwayne said, and he walked to the nine who were watching.

Dwayne meets up with Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Spike,

"Uh, Dwayne? Can you please change back?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and he did,

"I thought that music box would sound lovely." Rarity said,

"It's not meant to be used for entertainment, it's a weapon." Dwayne replied,

"You should change it, those notes sounded terrible." Fluttershy said,

"Really? I never thought it sounded that bad." Dwayne replied,

"Yes, it does, as a player of ten different instruments, and a member of a one pony band, I can tell you that those notes sounded horrendous!" Pinkie Pie said,

"I did say music affects the psychic disorder, the music box is used to shut down psychic disorders completely." Dwayne replied,

"That is not what we had in mind, we thought music you like would mess you up." Rainbow Dash said,

"Well, it can, but the music box works better." Dwayne replied, telekinesis is used and Dr. Shadow gets the music box out of the water, and gives it to Dwayne, he then used his magic to make the water disappear.

Sunset Shimmer walks to Dwayne,

"Dwayne, I would like to see what your dark secret is." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Well, this is sudden." Dwayne replied,

"I told you what mine was, I would now like to know yours." Sunset Shimmer said,

"Alright then, it's in my memories." Dwayne replied, and Sunset Shimmer touched his right hand with her front left hoof, Twilight Sparkle casted a spell so the others can see what Dwayne's dark secret was.

Dwayne was seeing someone and conversing with an unseen person, he talked about his job as a cashier, he was talking about how the job's pay was low, and it was not enough to pay his house bills, so he was offered a second job, he was to use his powers to hunt down and kill members of the Psychics. Sunset Shimmer sees visions of Dwayne fighting and killing the members of the Psychics, and the money he received for each kill, it was usually twenty thousand to thirty thousand dollars, he was not paid much sometimes, and the vision ended.

Everypony and Spike looked at him with horror,

"You were an assassin, Dwayne?!" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"Yes." Dwayne replied,

"How could you?!" Pinkie Pie asked,

"I had my reasons." Dwayne replied, the nine look at him with dropped jaws and wide eyes',

"Dwayne Alroy O'Brien!" Princess Celestia said from above, she landed between Dwayne and the other nine,

"Meet us in my throne room." Princess Celestia said, and they all went there while Dwayne simply walked.
