3 months later

Once the air was clear and everything was explain, things in both Canterlot return to normal to a certain degree. Despite believing on his story completely and wanting to continue thing where they left off, trying to formed a herd again just didn't sit well with no one in involved. No matter how much they didn't wanted to admit it, things just fell forced and cold. Like they wanted to be together because they wanted to follow or not follow someone else orders rather than just wanted to be with one another.

Not only that but discovering how his life started on a more cruel and sadist Equestria left Mark with a extremely bad taste on his mouth, so much so that he couldn't bring himself to engage in any form of intimate contact, even the act of holding hand was putting him on edge, much to the cringe and pain of his herd, especially Fluttershy. The princesses for their part were comprehensive, specially Cadence but because all of their time together, the handyman knew how hard was for Celestia been deprive of their usual contact. And he dreaded to image how that was simply torture for Molestia.

In a way he felt pride on how well she and Lustuna where taking the development and giving him the space he needed. Even more so when everyone came into the agreement to give each other space and broke the herd, at least until things could calm down. Not having the heart to take Milky and her friends home, and even less wanting to crash in any other mares house, Mark settle in a deal and allow the princesses to pay his resident on a local hotel in Ponyville, something that wasn't neither ultra high class nor a complete dump barely held together.

He still feel bad for them paying for everything but with his job in limbo and so much on his mind to work on anything, he knew that he needed the small break.

Staring at his window in a dark room, a very tired and sorrowful human just patiently wait for the sun to be lower. Occasional nightmares and his brain forcing him to relieve memories he didn't want to relief keep draining him of energy all day, a notions that even he was starting to wonder if he should ask Luna to deal with at least that much.

Once the final light of the sun left the room, Mark finally allow himself to close his eyes and sign before openly weep.

In one single day, he felt like he lost everything. A wonderful herd, incredible friends, even an awesome although slightly unorthodox friendship with benefit with super models goddess who take extreme joy in indulging on his more wild fantasies.

His life felt rich and feeling, he even thought that maybe he could one day could try be a father. Chuckling in between sobs thinking how incredible all of his mares could be as moms. He even wanted to imagine them on even more erotic light and a smile and blush start to appear when he start imagine all of them with cute pregnant bellies, he aiding them on their most vulnerable times, help them wash, make sure they would be comfortable, and ending with his more primitive side start imagine how enticing their bodies would grow.

He was starting to lost himself on the fantasy until a familiar pain was felt on his chest as he picture the golden dagger piercing him follow by the malevolent grins of Empress Cadence next to an evil Twilight with a scalpel, inching closer to his head, while he was restrain into an iron bed.

Startle he gasp and open his eyes with a cold sweat and salty tears on his face, while his heart slowly calm down. His sorrow and fear starting to morph and formed into untap anger, with hand clutch together and he tight them until they started to turn white, with a dark idea forming on his head.

"Queen Twilight" He utters in silence while glaring at the starry sky.

Venturing into the dead of the night, Mark head to Twilight castle with a determine glare only to find none other than Chrysalis waiting for him as she lean against a light post.

"Well, this is quite unexpected" The changeling mentions sarcastically as she let go of the post and gets in front of him "You shouldn't be out this late Mark, lots of dangerous things roam around at night"

He just remain silent and continue his march "Not now Chrysalis"

"Oh no, I think we had enough of your pity party. I say we need to do this now" She insist but he merely walk past her "Where are you going with that camping bag?"

"I'm gonna confront Queen Twilight"

To that she scuff and grab his arm "Did you just lost your mind?"

"Never say it was a good idea" He yank it back only to Chrysalis to rush and get in front of him again

"If she is half like the description you gave us, then that means she is nothing like the Twilight we both know. She is more powerful, cruller, quite possible a sociopath if not down right psychopath and oh yeah, did you forgot that she has a whole ARMY at her disposal?!"

"Don't try to talk me out of this Chrysalis, I made out my mind. I going" He march again as Chrysalis walk besides him

"How are you even gonna a use the mirror? You don't have any magic"

"I will figure something out"

"Oh that is reassurance! You are just gonna a break in and entering, pray Twilight didn't put a security system roam around the place until you stumble into the correct magic mirror, and that it still work after we broke him, throw yourself into who knows what and then just winged, do I understand correctly"

He stop and sign. "I need to do this Chrysalis I just do"

"Why do you want to see your tormentor so much anyway"

"I need answers ok?!" He snap back at her "What the hell happen to me? How am I still alive? How did she save me? WHY did she save me? Why did she keep referring to me as an object? If that bitch of Empress Cadence is still out there, looking for me? I...I have everything here, and she ruin it! She is gonna a answer for that! Chrysalis I'm going and that is final"

"The heck it is" She impose herself with determination "You are not going there mister" She suddenly turn into Twilight "WE are" She then smirks "Unlike you I know exactly how we can get there, and do whatever we please without anyone notices. If you follow my lead you will get all the answer you need and more, in half the time"

"What?!" He look at her in shock "Chrysalis no! I can't risk your life like that. This is my demon to confront not..."

"Ok tough guy then let me put it another way" She return to normal "I'm faster, excellent actress and can rip my shirt before you could even blink"

"So?"

"So, either you let me tag along or I will scream right here, rip my clothes and let you spend the rest of the night explaining to the authorities why were you out in the streets in the middle of the night, made me scream and how and why were my clothes rip" She smirk in confidence "Do you really wish to test my acting skills?"

She pretend to sniff "Officer...he went mad! (hic) he force me to turn into Twilight and then...he try..."

Mark froze as he slowly look around and see they were almost out of the town, and in his back it was clearly visible a rope and a map. So even if he could clear the air he would then have to explain why was he look like he was preparing to skip town.

"You wouldn't dare. No one would ever believe you in the first place"

"You wanna a bet?" Chrysalis smirk in confidence at him and for a moment there was a tension in the air until the human finally sign in defeat "FINE you can come! But you better be careful!"

She chuckle and pat his shoulder "Honey, I should be saying that, after all we are the ones keeping an eye on you"

"We?" He look at her confused as she point forward at the entrance of the castle, where Daisy open the door slightly and wave at them to get closer. Rather than her usual colorful and frilly dress, she was wearing dark pants, long sleeve shirt and black globes making her look like she was ready to rob a bank.

"Daisy?!" He harshly whisper and look at Chrysalis in anger "Are you insane?" He turns to the Holstaur once they enter the castle. "This is not a trip to the park! Daisy I can't let you..."

"Save your breath, she interrupt him, and hold his arms. I'm coming and that is final. I also have question for Empress Twilight and you are gonna a need this" Releasing him Mark was confused and surprise in how Daisy put the Minos gauntlets on him without realizing it.

"The Gauntlets of King Minos!? But I return them to the king, Daisy how did you...?"

"Not important right now, let just say. You are invite for a royal dinner, that you can't refuse, and leave at that"

Sighing in defeat and fearing she would make the same treat Chrysalis made he ultimately nod and turn to the changeling.

"Ok you won, now what is the plan?"

"Follow me and don't make any noise. Twilight can't find about this" She inform the two and guide them to the basement where the broken mirror was repair and connected to a door frame with some electric wires attach. Next to it was a straight jacket a hand truck, and a giant size royal guard uniform, next to a desk with some make up and a mask on it.

"Ok here is the plan" Chrysalis turns into Twilight Sparkle once more and turn to them "Since that empress seem so determine to get back her little experiment, and is convinced that you are dangerous. Rather than fighting our way through, our best bet is playing along" She points at the jacket and the hand truck "Don't worry is false and easy to remove, but she doesn't know that and as far as she is concern. This Twilight Sparkle saw what her counterpart was saying and wants to bring it back"

"You want me to pretend to be Hannibal Lector and just let you wheel me back into that crazy bitch?" Mark ask with a raise eyebrow.

"I don't know who that is but, yes and no. It would only look like that. Once there, I would distract her so you and Daisy could sneak around and try to find more clues on what exactly she did to you. This way would avoid unnecessary fights, would get us results quicker and in case of emergency we can surprise that Twilight, kidnap her and bring her here for questions. That is where your globes come to play" She remind him pointing at the weapons Daisy gave her.

"Oh so that is why the armor then?" Daisy question taking the helmet and Chrysalis nod "Exactly you would be my guard carrying the prisoner"

Mark thinks it over before nodding "If it give me answer, then fine I would do it" He put on the straight jacket finding that it was more like a Halloween costume and the side were held together with velcro, meaning that my extending his arms he could get himself free without issue.

With the aid of Daisy he lean on the hand truck and she put the mask on before getting ahead of him and start undressing.

"Ah Daisy? What are you doing?" Mark question with a surprise look which Chrysalis copy

"Oh sorry! Force of habit" She apologies with a cute giggle before, stretching her shirt back on and then takes the pieces of armor and black paint to put them on, making her look like a minotaur that joint Canterlot royal guard flawlessly. The dark clothes and breast plate, even making it difficult to determine her gender.

Inspecting her arms she sigh in frustration "Never imagine I would be wearing this again" She mutter to herself before looking at the group "Ok I'm ready"

Marks nods as well and Daisy roll him in front of the mirror next to the disguise Chrysalis. "Perfect, now remember. No matter what we see there stay calm and stick to act. Our story is that you went into a rampage, I stop you" Chrysalis explain using Twilight voice "Put you on a lethargic spell, making you mellow and dizzy and the rest of the mane six and princess are in medical care"

"You want me to pretend that I hurt them?!"

"Is what that Twilight thinks you would be capable of. And nothing would make her lower the guard more than believing she was right all along. Please is just to convince her that we are on her side again"

He sigh in frustration and look away "Fine"

"Remember just act dizzy, dopey and tired. Maybe make things up as we well you in"

"What about me? What is my story?" Daisy ask in intrigued.

"You are stern silent guard, that are part of Twilight elite squad with orders to kill him if he wakes up"

"I...I'm not gonna a need to harm him right?" She ask in worry.

"No of course not, just pretend to choke him if you are discover to buy us more time, and then take him some place else where there aren't any more witnesses"

"Ah I get it, we can play the opposite too, right? Like she pretend to be knock out, and I escape so I can act as a distraction while you to make your escape and..."

They both glare at him "...or sneak attack my pursuers and we all made our escape"

"That is better" Chrysalis nod before activating the mirror "Stay close, and stay calm trust me. As the master of infiltration if you follow my lead everything would go just fine" She promise before the portal open and the 3 march inside, closing it behind them and leaving a torch mark for Twilight and her friends to discover the next day.

On the next Handyman adventure.

Surrounded by spear wilder guards with Big Mac face, Chrysalis and Daisy raise their arms in surprise and surrender.

"...he just went and dive bomb into that crazy world without us?!" Dash wave around the goodbye letter Mark wrote for all of them as the mane six, discuss their next move around the round table.

***

"...he is not far, am gonna a get him" Celestia proclaim in determination while Luna stop

"Sister did you just lost your mind? You can't go there all by yourself"

"She is not" Turning back they saw Cadence and Surprise deck in armor walking down the stairs "We are going with"

***

"You clone your friends?" Twilight ask in shock at a distress and sorrowful Queen Twilight as she down another glass full of whisky as she clear her dry tears.

"it doesn't matter, it was never the same. Nothing ever was after Tirek kill them"

***

"You were never suppose to be lived per-se. But if anything I say it a good thing" Spike tries to console him "I know it mess up, but if you look it another way, you could say you were her magnus opus, the greatest of all of her creations, if you could just give her a chance, Twilight could be a good mom"

***

"You would never be good for my daughter" A titanic minotaur hold Daisy by her arm while glaring a Mark "You are not even worth the gauntlets, you are nothing else but an object"

The gauntlets start to rust and break apart in front of his eyes much to his horror.

***

"Nicely done, Queen" Chrysalis tells sarcastically at Empress Twilight as mane six, her guards, and the princesses stare at 6 different colors vortex "You just couldn't let go of your past and now they are 6 insane monsters with the faces of your friends rampaging all over the multiverse"

***

The sounds of familiar clops froze Mark blood as he slowly turns around to stare a smug looking Cadence wearing expensive Greek attired, looking right at him as she march until been right in front of him. "Hello my dear lover, did you miss me?"
