Hello there! Remember me? I'm Dejaman, the author of the Multi-Man. I actually deleted that story because it wasn't getting very many views. So, this is my rewrite! Hopefully it will get more views and reviews. Please enjoy!


Chapter 1: Cloud Nine

Alone in a dark room stood one object. It was the only thing inside the locked doors. Nothing and no one was to get in or out. This object was a single mirror. It was around the height of an average human and the width of the average door, which made sense considering its past AND its future. If one were to look closely, they would see the gems were glowing faintly.


I set my bag down to take a rest. I was now outside of the high school. It was night and the sun had set making it impossible for me to be seen. I had been on the run for a couple of days now. I didn't want to think about why. I would just break down and possibly lose my mind, or minds in my case. I leaned against the statue, trying to catch my breath. They said that if I wanted to go anywhere to try and be normal with what has happened to me that this school had a similar situation and they would understand me. All I knew, was that I had to be at this statue on the night of a full moon at a specific time and then my request for pure acceptance would be answered.

I picked up my bag again and checked my watch. Midnight. The moon was high above my head and seemed to be brighter than it was a few moments ago. Maybe I was just seeing things. Then it seemed as if it flashed, and I thought I had gone insane. I realized that it's not the strangest thing to have happened in the last few days, and I grabbed my bag. A looked around the courtyard and had just realized that there was a small construction site sitting cold and silent near the entrance of the school. I sat against the statue and I gasped. I had almost fallen through the statue. I stood up again and starred at the base. The surface looked normal. I pressed my hand against the base again and it went right inside as if it was just a pool of metallic fluid sitting sideways, breaking the laws of physics.

Now I must be crazy, because I could have sworn that I heard music from within.


"Princess, a letter from the Crystal Empire!" , the guard shouted.

The princess took the letter from him using her magic and held it in front of herself. She read through it quickly.

"Impossible! The mirror was thought to stay inactive! Unless..." , she stopped. She, then, knew what was about to happen. "Send Princess Twilight and her friends. This is for them and them alone as far as Starswirl knew."

"Sister?" I turned to see my younger sister walk in. She had a look of worry upon her face.

"Now is not the time to worry, Luna. As far as we know, it will not be as grim as we first predicted. But we must still be wary."

Another guard walked in.

"Princess Celestia, word has been sent that there is now music coming from within the looking glass."


I looked around, thinking someone else must have been around. No one. Strange. It might be night but this was a high school campus. There was bound to be someone else. But there was none. I looked back at the statue and continued to ponder what this could be. Was this my destiny?


I unlocked the door using my magic and opened the door. My friends and I walked in and starred in awe of the mirror. It was shining brightly and seemed to be shaking.

"What's happening?", asked the meek pegasus that was behind me.

"I'm not sure. But Celestia wanted to make sure we were here as soon as possible. It's obvious this mirror should be inactive, but something is causing it to activate and more than likely go off."

"Well I reckon we solve this problem before it becomes a problem." Said the western accent from my right.

Then, without anyone touching it, the mirror cracked.


What's the worst that can happen?

I walked right inside and instantly regretted my decision. I no longer had anywhere to stand or even sit because now I was floating through a strange tunnel at high speed. I heard a voice.

"Name yourself!"

"My name is Dejaman."

"Why is that your name?"

"The translation."

"What do you seek?"

"Acceptance."

"A wise thing to try and obtain. Why are you seeking acceptance?"

"Because my abilities are a curse."

"I shall not question you any further."

Then I felt the worst pain I had ever felt in my life. It felt as if every part of me was being torn apart. I heard more voices while this was happening. They seemed to be whispering names.


The mirror was shaking violently now.

"What do we do?!", cried the smallest one in the room. He was shaking and grabbing onto my leg.

"I don't know. I think we should be ready to stop it."

Then the music became loud and clear.


I'm wide awake.

Yeah, I was in the dark.

I was falling hard,

With an open heart.

I'm wide awake.

How did I read the stars so wrong?

I'm wide awake.

And now it's clear to me,

That everything you see,

Ain't always what it seems.

I'm wide awake.

Yeah, I was dreaming for so long.


At this time, I could visibly see parts of me flying in different directions.


I wish I knew then,

What I know now.

Wouldn't dive in,

Wouldn't bow down.

Gravity hurts,

You made it so sweet,

'Til I woke up on,

On the concrete.

Falling from cloud nine.

Crashing from the high.

I'm letting go tonight.

Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine.

I'm wide awake.

Not losing any sleep.

I picked up every piece,

And landed on my feet.

I'm wide awake.

Need nothing to complete myself, no.

I'm wide awake.

Yeah, I am born again,

Out of the lion's den.

I don't have to pretend.

And it's too late,

The story's over now, the end.


I stood there and watched with my friends as strange wisps flew out of the cracked mirror and phased through the walls, floor, and ceiling.


I wish I knew then,

What I know now.

Wouldn't dive in,

Wouldn't bow down.

Gravity hurts,

You made it so sweet,

'Til I woke up on,

On the concrete.

Falling from cloud nine (it was out of the blue).

I'm crashing from the high.

I'm letting go tonight (yeah, I'm letting you go).

I'm falling from cloud nine.

I'm wide awake.

Thunder rumbling.

Castles crumbling.

I'm wide awake.

I am trying to hold on.

I'm wide awake.

God knows that I tried.

Seeing the bright side.

I'm wide awake.

I'm not blind anymore...

I'm wide awake.

I'm wide awake.

Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine (it was out of the blue).

I'm crashing from the high.

You know I'm letting go tonight (yeah, I'm letting you go).

I'm falling from cloud nine.

I'm wide awake.

I'm wide awake.

I'm wide awake.

I'm wide awake.

I'm wide awake.


Finally, the mirror shattered onto the floor. In its place was a strange new being to this world. One I had seen before when I had gone through the mirror myself. The human swayed where he stood, moaning and groaning in pain. Then he fell to the floor and we all ran to help him. We didn't know who he was, why he was here, or even how he stayed human through the transfer between the two worlds. All we knew, was that he needed our help and we more than likely needed his.
