Mirage stood on the Outskirts of Canterlot, looking over the once beautiful and lush country. The wind blowing his mane across his face as he studied Ponyville, He wished that he could go back in time and change what happened, stopping Celestia from ever starting the war. But what’s done is done and you can’t reverse what had happened. He had asked Clock Star if she could take him back, when everything was normal and keep it there, but according to her, the past was locked in place, never to be touched again.


Nothing was ever normal for Cyber Burst. He looked back at what had happened and cried. There were things he wanted to take back, things he wanted to fix, but couldn’t. He did have Silverbolt, but he could only see what had happened before and not be able to change anything. The world was an ass that way.

“...What are we doing here, Cyburst...?” Phoenix asked, using Cyburst’s voice, “...I thought you swore you’d never come here again...”

“SHUT UP PHOENIX!” Cyburst yelled. clearly, he didn’t want to be bothered.

“...Cyburst?...” Phoenix called,

“I THOUGHT I SAID SHUT UP!” Cyburst yelled again,

“... Cyburst there’s-...” Phoenix said,

“I SAID SHUT THE FU-” Cyburst tried to say,

“CYBURST! THERE’S SOMEPONY OVER THERE” Phoenix yelled back,

“Oh, sorry.” Cyburst said. he never had gotten this angry, not with phoenix anyways.

Cyburst looked in the direction of the way Phoenix showed him. He was right. there was somepony else. Cyburst couldn’t help but think he had seen him before, a black coat, purple eyes, a purple and black mane... Wait, that wasn’t possible. He was dead. I saw him get killed.

“Phoenix, 50% RELEASE!” Cyburst shouted, the strain of this release didn’t even phase Cyburst anymore. the pain didn’t even compare to what he felt after, after THAT happened.

Cyburst flew towards the pony, he could clearly see that it was a pegasus now, even at the speed he was going. He didn’t care how many bones he broke. It wasn’t like they would stay that way anyway. He slammed right into the imposter. Breaking two of his own ribs.


Mirage felt an intense pain on his right side, he realized he was falling, right off of the perch he was on, he looked to the source of the pain and saw a red and yellow mane smashing into his side, the pony felt like a train that was at full speed, it hurt bad, but it wasn’t enough.

Mirage grabbed the pony’s head and smashed it into the dirt just before they hit, allowing Mirage to use the pony’s back like a cushion, which he quickly hopped off of, he turned around and noticed the large sword on his back, he sniffed the air... silver.


Cyburst couldn’t see anything, but he could feel the imposter landing on his back and quickly jumping off. He didn’t think that the pony knew he had claws and talons on both feet. he flailed his claws with all his might, and giving that imposter a gash to remember him by before he pulled his head out of the ground and launching himself on top of the imposter.

“WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!” Cyburst yelled “AND DON’T YOU SAY MIRAGE BECAUSE I SAW HIM DIE!

“You saw me die?” Mirage asked, he was confused by the whole situation, he began licking the cut on his left side, “That really hurt you know”

Cyburst noticed the gash had become smaller. It was healing to fast for any regular pony. Humph, vampony.

“WELL THIS IS FANTASTIC” Cyburst yelled “YOU EVEN KNEW HE WAS A VAMPONY”

“Why are you yelling?” Mirage asked, lapping the blood from his muzzle, “And why are you referring to me as ‘he’?”

“Don’t give me that crap” Cyburst said, finally calming down, “Unless?”

“Look pal, I don’t want any trouble” He was eyeing that silver sword on the pony’s back, and began to sweat,

“Don’t you dare move.” Cyburst said, reverting to his normal self,“I’ll be back in 5 seconds”

“You’re just gonna let me stand here?” Mirage asked,

“Don’t worry if you run, I’ll find you.” Cyburst said, smiling a wicked grin.

Cyburst teleported to the grave of Mirage, not to his surprise, some things had changed. For one, the black rose he had placed in front of the gravestone had disappeared, and another thing was that the ground had recently been upturned, Which revealed a wooden crate.

“Mirage, if you’re still in there, I’m sorry” Cyburst said as he smashed the crate open, finding that nothing remained except for a hatch.

Only one thing remained in the crate, in a small hatch in the side, it was a small switchblade, engraved in an unreadable fashion, it had been worn over time.

Cyburst pick up the switchblade and teleported to the only pony he could think of, the imposter.

A flash of light appeared in front of Mirage, shortly after the pony was there, standing before him with something in his hoof.

Cyburst threw the switchblade to the ground in front of the imposter.

“I will believe you are the real Mirage” Cyburst said, “If you can tell me what that said”

“Why should I?” Mirage asked, “It’s personal!”

“Because if you don’t,” Cyburst said, pulling out Silverbolt, “I’ll cut you down the middle and you won’t be able to recover.”

Mirage’s ears pounded, he knew EXACTLY what the words said, but why would this pony want to know?

“Why do you need to know exactly?” Mirage asked,

Cyburst brought Silverbolt up and swung it down, just to stop only inches away from this imposter’s face. seeing if that did the trick.

“Oh, big mistake” Mirage mumbled, sending a wave of electrical energy through the sword’s blade, shocking the pony’s hoof rather violently, “Now tell me why!” He shouted,

Cyburst was shocked, mentally and physically, from what had just happened. he knew he should have put on the rubber hilt.

“Okay,you could also do that.” Cyburst said after coughing up some blood. “I’m sorry for doubting you. I just had to make sure you’re the real Mirage”

“Well does that answer your question?” Mirage asked, he was getting irritated,

“Yes, that does,” Cyburst said, “Only one pony in the world has the element of electricity”

“I’m still not going to read this” Mirage snorted, picking up the knife with his wing and tucking it safely under it.

“You don’t need to if you don’t want to” Cyburst said, softening his tone ”that was only to make sure you were the real Mirage.”

“Who are you?” Mirage asked, putting his angry side away.

“Oh, sorry for not introducing myself sooner” Cyburst cleared his throat and spoke up, “My name is Cyber burst, or Cyburst for short.”

Mirage extended a hoof in his direction, “Nice to meet you, Cyber Burst, I think you already know my name.”

Cyburst extended his hoof, and got a small electric shock. That was getting annoying.

“Oh, sorry about that” Mirage said, quickly drawing his hoof away and giving a smirk, he had meant to do that, best joke ever.

“It won’t cause any REAL damage, anyway” Cyburst said, “If you couldn’t already tell.”

“How’s that?” Mirage asked, raising an eyebrow,

“It’s a long story, basically, I have a electronic phoenix living inside my brain” Cyburst said, Phoenix then took over in his deeper voice“I’m not just any Phoenix, I’m the great Cybeast, Falzar!”

Mirage blinked, that was quite confusing, it almost compelled him to attack, it sounded like he was talking to Black Mirage again.
