26. Ch:26 Mending Bridges

*Hey everyone, sorry this chapter took so long to write Finals were taking so much of my time, but I am back and now out of school for the quarter. Anyway I hope you enjoy the chapter and that I will see you all in the next chapter.*

The sun was high in the sky, and the birds were chirping softly but below the very clouds and tree lines was a battered and broken young man, Mike continued his path down the path on the sidewalk, just wandering at this point not caring where he was with blood dripping from his face, slowly dripping upon the cold pavement below him. His face was bruised and battered, he gently wiped the blood away while he groaned softly with each movement, but that of his bruises upon his face also

'I knew this was a bad fucking idea… look what the hell happened… I got my ass kicked by one of Angel's favorite characters…' Mike thought to himself, feeling his anger rise again with his blood starting to boil. 'That bitch is lucky I didn't break her in half like her damn airsoft gun…' He continued to monologue in his mind, walking down the streets of the town, pushing past people that were walking his way.

While he walked, the girls were looking for him, trying to find him hoping that he wouldn't get injured further when they bumped into a group of four, two of which was Fang and Indigo but there was two little girls with them, looking no more than the age of fifteen "S-Sorry… H-Have you four seen Mike?" Wave asked with worry in her voice while Fang nodded a little "Y-Yeah… he just passed us a little bit ago… what happened to him?" He asked while Wave stared right into Fang's eyes, nearly burning like a thousand suns

"That rainbow haired friend of yours beat the living day lights out of him!" She nearly screamed at Fang, making him flinch a little from her outburst. The two little girls we're frightened from her outburst, soon bursting into tears and hiding their faces into the two's chests while they held them close while Moon spoke after her

"She beat him without even question, or even warning… He's seriously hurt because of her… he was only defending himself in self-defense those times and she beat him with no reason… She made him feel more, and more like a freak… He has issues enough with himself… He's a gentle soul and your friends are making him feel even worse…" She said with tears starting to form in her eyes, soon slowly turning to anger.

"Do us all a favor… and keep that girl away from us…" She said with hostility in her tone, storming off with Izzy quickly following behind, while Angel just shook her head with disappointment, walking away. Wave and Crystal soon stormed off, following the others while Fang and Indigo were holding the two close, trying to calm them down "Where do you think he could have gone? Plus, do you think that was a little too harsh?" Crystal asked while Angel shook her head.

"I don't think it was… that's just my own personal opinion… though I hate seeing kids cry…" Angel admitted, sighing softly with the girls nodding in agreement "Let's just… go find Mike, and maybe hope for things to blow over." Izzy suggested, trying to keep things calm in both the group and her mind, however she was trying not to think anything terrible, worrying about their friend. The girls nodded in agreement continuing their search down the streets of the large town, back over with Mike he was slowly sliding across the wall of a building, feeling his wounds slowly creeping up on him while he slid into an alley, sitting upon the cold pavement.

He sat upon the ground gently breathing, coming out as soft wheezes with his mind slowly going blank without a single thought forming, hearing the sounds of footsteps echoing from outside of the alley when one started to walk towards him, his gaze slowly trailed towards where the footsteps were coming from till he spotted a familiar looking woman, with red and yellow hair soon letting his gaze fall.

"What do you want…?" He mumbled softly to Sunset while she slowly sat down next to him "I came the moment I heard what happened… Are you alright? Rainbow didn't hurt you too bad did she?" She asked with sympathy in her tone while Mike sighed, slowly shaking his head. "I'm fine… I'm used to getting my ass kicked on a daily basis on my old planet…" He muttered softly to Sunset, feeling a twinge of sadness in his voice while Sunset felt her face tighten to that of sadness slowly reaching her hand towards Mike's shoulder

"I-I'm really sorry to hear that… and I am very sorry for what my friends have done… I just hope you can forgive them, and hopefully everyone will get back on the right foot…" She admitted with her face still of sadness, but with hopeful optimism while she gently placed her hand upon Mike's shoulder, when her eyes went wide and began to glow, starting to look through Mike's memories, while Mike slowly closed his eyes.

Inside Mike's Mind…

Sunset slowly opened her eyes as she began to look around to find herself in an unfamiliar looking town, slowly walking down the street looking around "T-This… must be his home town…" Sunset gently spoke to herself looking around, when a car drove past a red light with Sunset looking on when she spotted familiar characteristics of someone in the back. "I-Is that… Mike?" She asked when the car was soon hit by a semi-truck, watching it spin and tumble with metal scattering across the streets, with the sound of glass shattering while the car slowly stopped upside down with the faint sounds of groaning.

"O-Oh my faust!" Sunset screamed as her view slowly changed to that of a high school while she was in a crowd of people cheering on and yelling of a fight, while she quickly pushed past the students to find Mike getting his head smashed into the side of the school's sign, soon getting strangled by his hoodie strings like a garratt.

Sunset could only watch on with horror, but what took her eye was a man standing across from her on the other side of the crowd, he looked almost like Mike except with paler skin, lighter black hair and dark void eyes with crimson irises, soon slowly walking into the crowed before she could speak.

When the man walked away her surroundings began to slowly change again, Sunset was soon barraged by people of all kinds of races that she couldn't even recognize, except a few walking through as she found to be in a large building with many shops and booths open, Sunset looked around soon spotting Mike walking with a doctor 'I wonder who that is?' She thought to herself, following close behind and walking into a room with the two. She watched on as time started to quickly move for her, watching on but she started to become worried as the doctor strapped Mike to a table, waiting for him to wake up while Mike slowly woke up to find himself strapped to the table.

Sunset was becoming increasingly worried but started to watch on in horror as the doctor began to dissect Mike, pumping his organs full of all kinds of strange liquids as the same man from before appeared again near Mike, watching over him when he muttered softly "We're coming for that fucker… if it's the last thing we do…" He muttered to Mike, looking Sunset back in the eyes again, then walking off into the closet not far from the dissection table, with the scenery slowly changing again.

The scenery slowly changed again around Sunset to reveal a second version of an outpost, except that it wreaked of death that was thoroughly destroyed that was illuminated by makeshift torches, illuminating the multiple blood streaks and stains upon the walls and floor. Sunset tried to keep herself from gagging but soon stopped, hearing what could be singing from outside, she slowly walked out getting hit with a freezing wind, walking in the snow to find Mike standing next to Wave in front of many graves in the cold snow while the man was on the other side of the grazes, staring at Sunset

"The many lives that were taken that day… were avenged… only shall the blood of innocent, shall be paid in the blood of the accused…" He voiced, vanishing amongst the snow that blew gently with the rest of the scenery. The snow blew past Sunset, making her hold her arms in front of her face, trying to block the snow getting blown into her face, that was until it stopped finding herself in a cafeteria when the eruption of gunfire could be heard, making her jump and dive behind a lunch table, looking around to find that Mike and the girls firing at a group of creatures.

She watched on with horror while time quickly sped up, watching on while the teacher held Mike at bay, looking ready to kill that was until the tables were turned when Mike broke his arm and starting to rip the Avian man apart, soon wrapping a iron wire garrote around his neck, slowly pulling it back, tearing through the flesh and bone of his neck, till he was decapitated spraying blood across the floor and wall, leaving Mike panting heavily. He soon picked his head up and started to play hacky sack with it, making the school look on in horror while Wave was screaming at him, with the girls following behind which snapped Mike out of it all, making his eyes slowly go back to normal seeing what horror he truly created, running to the closest garbage can and vomiting hard into it.

The man came through the class members and spoke looking at Mike "Poor kid… not even seventeen and a half, and already taken his first life… and gave mercy upon another… it's a real pity, having to go through all of that…" He stated, walking through the cafeteria doors with Sunset following very close behind, getting ready to demand answers when she walked into that of a torture room where Mike had shot an Apex woman, strapped into a dissection table as a Feline woman was standing next to him, crying her very eyes out into his shoulder.

Sunset was getting ready to vomit, even cry her eyes out that was until a hand reached out and pulled Sunset out of the room forcibly and that into a japanese temple, getting ready to fight the person who did soon finding the man staring right into her eyes, slowly pointing towards a direction. Sunset slowly turned to find Mike holding a dark steel katana, dripping lightly with blood and staring down a Hylotl man, clutching his bleeding stump of a hand that lyed not far from them in a pool of blood, she gasped covering her mouth "Even in desperate times… he would always protect those close to his heart… even with the influence to kill, he would refuse…" He stated walking away, with Sunset following close

"Who are you?" She asked with concern but that of hostility in her tone, however the man ignored her and opened a final door, revealing a rooftop garden showing a fight between an Avian and Mike, who soon grabbed the dagger from his hands and throwing it away watching the Avian collapse and breaking down into tears while Mike consoled him. Sunset watched on, soon turning to the man as she began to question him "Alright… now who are you? I want to know the truth!" She yelled at him, only gaining a sigh from him "My name is Kyo… I am the manifestation of anger, resent, rage and sadness in Mike's mind and soul." He explained sitting down upon a bench, looking off towards the sunset, gently patting the seat next to him.

Sunset slowly looked at the seat area, but soon slowly nodded and sat down next to Kyo while he stared off towards the sunset "Beautiful huh?" He asked while Sunset looked towards the setting sun, slowly nodding "Y-Yeah… I-It is…" She quietly spoke, trying to find her voice while Kyo sat back when Sunset felt her courage slowly returning. "I… I want to know… I want to know everything that is going on… what is wrong with Mike? Why is he like this? Please… I want to know…" Sunset begged, while Kyo reached into his hoodie pocket, taking out a pack of cigarettes and a zippo, soon placing one in his mouth and igniting it while taking a soft drag

"You want to know everything, huh?" He asked, exhaling the smoke with Sunset slowly nodding. Kyo looked towards her, giving a content nod "Alright… It's a long story… so buckle up." He said, explaining Mike's story and even his own points of view in it all, while Sunset looked on with anguish, hearing of what Mike has gone through "I… I never knew… I… I feel so sorry for him… I-I mean, I can relate to him a little… knowing how it feels to be a freak as well…" Sunset had said while Kyo snuffed the cigarette beneath his shoe and placed his hand upon Sunset's shoulder.

"We thank you for that Sunset… Mike has had a lot of trouble in his life, only having only so little left in his life like his older brother and sister, and his friend Angel… his life became a little better when he met the girls…" Kyo said, slowly getting up from his seat and turning to Sunset "Do promise me something though… Mike's a good kid, and he only wants to do good… All I can really ask is, can you please try to convince your friends to give him a second chance? Maybe to prove his worth?" He asked, making Sunset smile and nod "I promise, Kyo I think most of my friends would be able to." Sunset promised as this made Kyo mirror her smile. "Thank you, Sunset… now it's time to wake up from all this, it's time to wake up." Kyo said, with Sunset slowly nodding as she began to slowly fade away with small particles flowing from her, fading away from Mike's mind while Kyo smiled softly.

Outside In Reality…

Inside the alley Sunset slowly came to as she turned to Mike who looked to be asleep, however his eyes slowly opened and shook his head, placing his hand upon the side of his head "D-Damn… W-What the hell happened?" Mike asked in a groggy tone while Sunset helped him to his feet "Here, as well I was reading your memories… I am really sorry you went through… I only know a handful of people who have…" She said with a gentle tone while Mike remained silent, only sighing very softly.

"Thank you… Sunset…" He only said, soon walking out of the alley way "I'll… see you around…" Mike simply said, walking out of the alley way and down the street, while Sunset pulled her phone out and made a phone call to someone, over with the girls they continued to search for Mike as they stopped and sat down for a minute in the park "J-Jeez… T-This city is so big… W-What if we can't find Mike?" Izzy asked with hints of worry and fear in her voice, starting to breath heavily.

Moon started to worry even more, nearly beginning to freak out "W-We have to find him! W-We can't lose him, h-he could be really hurt, o-or l-lost o-o-or…" Moon tried to say, hyperventilating while Wave handed her a paper bag, letting her breath into it while Izzy grabbed one as well, not really needing it but good to have one on hand "Alright, alright you two… just try to calm down… I'm sure Mike's around here somewhere, we just need to keep level heads to find him…" Wave said, trying to keep everyone calm while Crystal got up from her seat.

"I think we should start looking towards the deeper parts of the city… maybe he's by that large farm that some talk about." She suggested, with the group nodding a bit while Moon stopped hyperventilating gently sighing "A-Alright… L-Let's just hope he's there." Moon agreed with the group slowly getting up and stretching, getting ready to move out until Angel spotted something that caught her attention, gasping as who she saw.

The girls were about to move out Angel walked away towards what she was looking at, the girls were going to speak up until their eyes slowly went wide "M-Mike...?" Crystal asked, finding her voice as Mike smiled softly "Yup, it's me… And i'm feeling a little better." He admitted, while Angel pulled him into a bit of a tight hug, making him wheeze softly. "E-Easy, easy please… I'm still pretty bruised…" He wheezed, gently hugging Angel back while the rest of the girls walked over, soon pulling him into a group hug, making him wheeze a little louder

"S-Sorry Mike… W-We were just really worried about you…" Wave admitted, with everyone nodding while he winced a little, but hugged the girls back regardless of his pain "I-I hear you… S-Sorry for making you all worry…" He wheezed softly, with regret in his tone while the girls gently nuzzled into, not wanting to let him go. They soon took a hold of his arms and started to slowly pull him towards the sidewalk "Come on, let's get back to Mise and Octavia's home… hopefully we can hide out there for a while, till we be able to figure out how to fix the ship." Crystal suggested, with the others nodding while Mike followed close, walking with them.

While Mike and the girls were walking down the streets of Canterlot towards the residential area, Octavia and Mise were held up in their home as Octavia was trying to keep Mise calm but wasn't doing well on her own end 'Damn it Rainbow...you've affected more people with than you realize… I just hope Mise and Mike don't relapse too much….' Octavia said in her mind as Mise wasn't faring so well as he looked to be experiencing some kind of issue with his mental state, almost as if he was having a flashback or anxiety attack.

Octavia let a gentle sigh escape from her lips when her phone began to go off, gently picking it to find a text message left behind by Sunset 'Hey Octavia, I found your friend Mike in an alley… he looked pretty beat up and I got to him as quickly as I could when I heard it all happen from Warhawk, anyway I have been talking around a little and he with the others maybe able to hopefully prove his worth to the others… I don't know how but the others will text you the details, I just hope he gets better.' The text read making Octavia smile a little while Mise slowly snapped out of his thoughts, turning to Octavia "W-Who was that? W-where's Mike? Where are the girls?!" Mise asked as he began to remember what happened.

Octavia jumped a little at Mise's outburst but calmed down a little with a soft smile, gently petting his head "That was Sunset, Mise. And she found him, he's hopefully coming back soon, and hopefully the girls as well." She said with her smile, while Mise slowly nodded when the door opened with the girls gently bringing in Mike who was still wheezing a little, but had gotten a little better. They helped him sit down upon an armchair "I-I'm fine, I can sit by myself…" He said softly while the girls kept close to him, nearly in a circle around him while Mise spoke up

"Oh hey there Mr. Tipton." He said going back to his old self for a minute while Octavia gently giggled but looked towards Mike with a case of worry. "How're you feeling Mike? Can I get you some tea?" Octavia offered while he nodded a little "T-That would be lovely… A-And i'm feeling a little better… but still feel like I got hit by a damn truck…" He admitted, sitting back in the chair while Octavia nodded, getting up from her seat as she gently placed Mise down upon the couch and walking into the kitchen.

As Octavia was making tea in the kitchen Mise looked towards Mike from his seat as Ember gently popped from the couch's cushions with Shade, as Rosy dropped down from the bookshelf while Ermys floated down from the tiger's back and next to Mise. Mike smiled a little as Ember gently laid in his lap, petting her head as Mise looked at Mike, speaking with both a serious, yet dreary tone "I want to formally apologize for Rainbow's behavior, had I known any of them would react the way they did, I would have arranged for us to stay far away from them and the rest of Canterlot. Which reminds me, I need to make a few phone calls to some important places in regards to obtaining what we came here for." Mise said as he went to Octavia's purse and pulled out his phone, and started surfing around on it and doing a lot of typing.

Octavia soon walked out of the kitchen with a cup of tea upon a plate, gently handing it to Mike thanking her with a soft smile raising the cup to his lips and taking a soft sip of the tea, feeling his body slowly relaxing "This… is really good, what is it?" He asked while Mise spoke up "Devil's Claw, it's an herb I picked in South Africa, it helps with muscle pain and weakness." Mise said looking up from his phone "Though, word of warning, it's not very safe for women who are pregnant or nursing or young children so if I send us back with some, only you and me can be the primary drinkers unless the girls don't plan on having kids anytime soon." Mise said going back to his business.

Mike and the girls blinked a little while Mike drank the last of the tea, slowly placing it with the plate upon the coffee table while he began to relax a little letting his mind wander, his eyes began to slowly close as he was slowly lulled into a deep sleep, making the girls smile a little watching him sleep as each gave him a gentle kiss upon the cheek, while Angel blushed a little deeply, gently kissing Mike's cheek as the girls giggle softly. Mise and Octavia smiled a little, watching over their friend as he slept while the girls kept close to him in their seats, while Mise continued his work while Octavia petted his head, watching TV.

The Next Day…

The group was fully awake, with Mise making breakfast upon the stove while the girls were drinking some coffee, with a free mug left on the table as they waited for Mike to wake up as Octavia turned to Mise "Mise, I have been wondering. Who were those people moving stuff into the cellar last night?" She asked while Mise continued to make breakfast "It's better if i just show you, but that'll come after we all eat breakfast, I made farm fresh eggs, irish potatoes, portuguese style sausage, toast and javan coffee, only the best for my clientele." Mise said as he started plating the food with the group getting up and taking a plate, walking back to the table while Mise left one out for Mike soon trotting to the table and sitting in Octavia's lap, starting to eat with his wife.

As they ate Octavia's phone went off, soon grabbing it from her purse she looked to find a notification from the group chat of her friends, soon entering it and messaging her friends, while this was going on there was a loud crash heard from the living room making nearly everyone jump. "S-Son of a bitch…. Help! I've fallen! And I choose not to get up!" Mike yelled making the group snicker a little while Mike slowly walked in, yawning as he stretched a little with some glass in his clothing and hair making the group look at him with concern "Mike! What happened in there?" Wave asked while Mike grabbed the plate off the counter.

"Tripped over the coffee table, went head first into Mise's liquor cabinet-" He said as Mise spit his coffee out onto the table "You what!?" Mise screeched, jumping from Octavia's lap and running into the living room, screaming like a banshee while he turned to Octavia "Though ironically I didn't smash any of the liquor bottles, though it hurt like hell went I went through the doors." He said while Mise soon calmed down. "You asshole! You almost gave me a heart attack! That's like $50,000 worth of booze in there!" He yelled at Mike, while he walked over and picked Mise up by his fur, looking him right in the eyes

"I don't very much like your attitude…" Mike said as Mise slowly tensed up "I'm going to set you down, and you are going to be grateful I don't burn the booze…" He said with Mise quickly nodding while screaming in his mind 'Not my sweet nectar!' He mentally screamed while Mike gently placed Mise down, scurrying into his wife's lap while Mike gave a subtle wink, making the girls giggle a little seeing through Mike's lie.

Octavia got a good giggle out of it herself while Mike sat down with the girls and started to eat breakfast as Octavia looked towards Mike with a smile "Glad to see you're feeling better, Mike." she said eating her breakfast while Mike smiled a little "Glad i'm feeling better, I thank you both again for the tea, and I thank you girls for helping me back." He said with his smile, drinking some coffee.

With the group eating, Octavia was still chatting with her friends 'So what do you all think? Is it a good idea or not?' She asked with some of the group agreeing 'Well, I say he can help out on the farm sugarcube, though he would be in a grand day of apple harvesting.' Applejack replied with Rarity speaking next

'Well me and Clyde could always use the extra help over here, the next show is going to be happening soon and I am getting backlogged with orders.' She complained as Twilight spoke after them 'I just would like to know more about their technology and everything, and so does Micro Chips with the other science clubs, they want to have the meeting today at my house, if all of them cannot come that is perfectly fine, only having one is perfect enough.' She stated while Octavia gently sighed with others requesting for the group.

'Alright… Alright, I will try to get them to help… as best as they can, hopefully they can be able to…' Octavia admitted, stuffing her phone into her purse while most of the group finished eating except for Angel and Mise, as she was taking her time to eat while Mise was keeping a close eye on Mike, worried about his booze.

While the remainder continued to eat, Mike and Wave took the dishes and started to wash them in the sink, while Moon went to go take a shower, Crystal was making a list of the damages of the ship and what to scavenge, while Izzy was doing some homework groaning at what she had to learn. After the dishes were done Wave walked to the living room with the group, sitting down upon the couch as she took her katana out from her bracelet, getting ready to sharpen it while Mike tossed her a sharpening stone.

"Thanks Mike." She said with a warm smile, soon starting to sharpen her blade while Mike disassembled his revolver and began to clean the chambers. Moon walked down stairs in a new set of clothing, gently drying her plumage with a towel wrapped around her head, Octavia, Mise and Angel walked out of the kitchen with Izzy and Crystal who was still looking over the list of the ship.

As everyone was doing their own things Mise looked outside to his cellar as Bones nodded, giving him a signal while Mise nodded soon turning to the group "Hey everyone, put down what you're doing, I need to show you all something in my cellar, and before you ask, yes, everyone must come." Mise said in an oddly cheery tone, causing everyone to look at each other with confusion but also filled them with curiosity as they stopped what they were doing and followed Mise outside.

"Alright… Let's just see what this is all about." Mike had said, following with the group while Bones stopped the group, giving his quick search and letting them in "Alright Mise, so what's going on?" Octavia asked while Mise smiled widely, turning to the group "Well remember how I made those phone calls and business letters, and how you asked me what was happening here last night? Well the answer behind both those is behind these doors, follow me and none shall be disappointed…" Mise said as he lead the group down the hall but in a different direction than to the whiskey cellar, instead he lead them to a large steel door that looked like it could survive a nuclear blast. He carefully opened the door and flipped a switch inside, what the group saw next made their jaws hit the floor.

"Oh….My….Fucking...God…." Octavia said wide eyed as Mike and the girls were trying to wrap their brains around what they were looking at. Before them, was thousands upon thousands of glistening gold bars stacked on hundreds of wooden pallets "Holy sweet mother of Kluex!" Izzy, Moon and Crystal yelled nearly having their eyes firing out of their eyes, Angel nearly fainted from the amount of gold in front of her while Wave couldn't believe her very eyes, but that also that it hurt her eyes since she had three of them while Mike couldn't find that the words to describe what he was looking at.

Mise let out a hearty chuckle towards the group with a smile of happiness "Behold, my entire fortune condensed into travel size, but yeah it wasn't easy convincing the Swiss Bank I had this money stored at to cough over $400,000,000,000 worth of gold, but after some wheeling and dealing, voila! So yeah, here I'll get you your payment." Mise said as he grabbed a gold bar and handed it to Mike.

"Damn man… A-Are you sure about this? I mean, this is nice and all but, I don't know if we can accept this." Mike admitted while Mise chuckled softly and shook his head with his smile "I insist, and you better make room on the ship because we're not leaving this planet in the same financial state we came here in. This is too much to just give away or spend alone, I rather see it be used on those around me who need it more than I do.

Think of it more of a safety that's always there to prevent us from falling into financial disarray but not something to carry us through life carefree." Mise said giving a warm smile with the group nodding, slowly recovering from what just happened while Mike put the goldbar into his bracelet as Mise closed the steel door slowly. The group soon came out of the cellar with Bones patting them down again, as Octavia soon turned to the group.

"That reminds me, some of the group wants to talk to you guys… and also to well, earn loyalty to them… to hopefully improve things, you know?" Octavia stated with the group looking at her with a confused look while Mise turned to her wondering what she meant "Who and what are you talk about? Because I think I speak for most of us when I say, we're still a bit weary of the people here." Mise groaned softly while Octavia smiled softly

"Some of our friends would like to know you all a little more, maybe even be able to possibly help out in any way, shape or form. I have a good amount of who would like to help prove your worth." Octavia explained, with the group sighing. "Alright… let's see who is asking." Angel asked with Octavia looking through her phone "Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Fang and Indigo, Fluttershy even though she is very shy for asking, and a few others." Octavia explained with nearly most of the group falling over with how many while Mike spoke.

"Alright, alright… I think we can handle this… what's the jobs?" He asked while Octavia nodded "Applejack needs help on the farm, mostly manual labor." She explained with Izzy stepping forward "I'll do it, Mr. Snuggles is still very hurt." Izzy said gently holding onto Mike's arm as he blushed and was going to retort, but quickly shut himself up as Octavia wrote down the street address and handed it to Izzy.

After her each of the group volunteered to different people, Crystal with Rarity, Wave to help Pinkie Pie, Angel wanted to help Fluttershy as Moon took the job of Fang and Indigo, only leaving the last job to Mike to help Twilight as Mise handed Mike an army helmet "Sorry I don't have a motorcycle helmet man, but it's better than nothing." He explained while Mike shrugged, placing the brain bucket upon his head and getting on his bike.

"Now this is where Twilight lives, just please… please, for the love of everything, try not to do anything stupid, okay?" Octavia asked with Mike nodding and turning the key in the ignition, feeling the vehicle coming to life as he twisted the throttle, revving the engine loud while Mise opened the garage door letting Mike drive out, nearly shooting out of the garage with nearly a whirlwind with Mise nearly flying out of the garage "WE'RE ON THE HIGHWAY TO HEEELLLLL!~" Mise screamed in joy as he held on for dear life to Mike's jacket.

While Mike drove down the streets of Canterlot Mise was laughing his little fuzzy ass off, keeping a hold of Mike's jacket "So Mise? How come you are joining me to Twilight's house?" Mike asked in a higher voice, just enough over the sound of the engine while Mise was laughing "Because this seemed like the most exciting and requiring the least manual effort, can't really do much in this form!" Mise yelled over the engines while Mike chuckled a little and slowed down a little, looking around a little for the address soon speeding off again towards a large purple house.

Slowing down his ride, he stopped and parked it and picked Mise up from the back, placing him on his shoulder and walking over to the door and giving it a good knock when it opened to reveal a older man with a pipe in his mouth "Yes… May I help you?" The man asked while Mise spoke up "Raw! Mise want a cracker! Raw!" He squawked making Mike nearly burst out into laughter while the man spoke "That son… is a very odd parrot." He said when Twilight spoke up "Dad? Who's at the door?" She asked while he turned to the basement door "It's just some kid Twilly, and some odd looking parrot named Mise apparently." He said while Twilight gently gasped.

"Let them in please dad! Tell them to come to the basement!" She said while her father nodded, letting the two in when he stopped Mike for a second by grabbing his arm "Listen here buddy… you try anything with my daughter… I will make your life a living hell…" He warned as Mike stopped, nodding "Understood sir…" He said getting his grip out of his hand nearly almost that it took him with him while he walked down the steps to the basement. As Mike and Mise walked down the steps Mise spoke up loud enough for the father to hear

"Last time someone told me to meet them in the basement, I ended up making $500 dollars an hour." Mise said, while the father was going to say something the door closed, while walking down the stairs Mike and Mise saw Twilight looking over her instruments but also that of Micro Chips and the three clubs waiting in the same attire Mike had met them in "Oh fuck me…" He mumbled softly while the group members held up their hands, spacing their fingers to form a familiar looking hand sign of a certain vulcan of a old sci fi show from years ago.

"Greetings space wander!" They said happily while Mike groaned softly "Sup… Now, what's going on here?" He asked while Twilight smiled happily as Sunset walked out with a lab coat on "Alright, now we just have to wait for… Oh! Mike there you are, if you are wondering what's going on we are just going to ask questions on your culture, technology, you know stuff like that and also testing your abilities, if you have any." Sunset had said, vaguely hinting at his abilities while Mise smiled happily and raised a paw behind Mike's ear

"Yeah! Watch this!" Mise said as he started scratching behind Mike's ear, making him purr softly to the touch as the group gasped softly seeing this and began to write the info down as Mise stopped scratching behind Mike's ear. Mike blushed a bright red while Mise was laughing his ass off, while Mike soon gotten an idea with a wicked smile "Oh shut it, Sir Fluffybuns." He said starting to scratch behind Mise's ears and his back, while Mise tried to fight it failed horribly at it and began to purr loudly to the touch while the groups continued to write info down as Mike stopped with Mise blushing bright red that matched Mike's blush.

"Now we're even." Mike said while Mise just growled softly, sitting down in a seat next to Mike while the groups continued to write when Twilight gently cleared her throat "Yes, now let's begin… Mike was it?" She asked with him nodding while she continued "Alright, first question. What race are you?" Twilight asked clicking her pen while Mike sat back in his seat. "Human/Mix." He said with everyone looking at Mike

"What does that mean?" Sunset asked while he sat forward, looking them in the eyes "I am a mix of eleven total races, I may be human but I am also part of ten other alien races as well." He explained, keeping clear hints of something more with the groups writing the info down, curious of how he could be as he was as Sunset spoke next "Okay, what kind of technology do you have?" She asked with Mike starting to think.

"Hmmm…. Let's see, hover vehicles, molecular storage, space travel as you can tell, laser weaponry, even though most students aren't allowed to touch it, unless with certain classes-" Mike was explaining until he was cut off by someone "Wait… Classes? You're a student?" The woman asked with him nodding.

"Yeah, I go to the Academy Of The Stars, it's a pretty large school and teaches a large variety of topics." He explained to the groups, while they continued to write as Micro Chips was mumbling into his tape recorder "Subject appears to be a normal human, looking around the age of seventeen… shows no odd attributes except purring when scratched behind the ears, further research is needed." He mumbled soon setting the recorder down

"Alright, I would like to ask next… how are you, the way you are?" He asked with most of the groups nodding with intrigue, while Sunset looked on with worry. Mike remained quiet with his gaze slowly fell towards the ground, Mise saw this and gently placed his paw upon Mike's leg, turning to the groups

"He's been through alot… and would not like to talk about it… if that's alright? It's a…. Pretty pour subject…" Mise stressed with the group catching on, quickly nodding while they all continued to ask questions.

Over with Izzy, she walked upon the large farm known as Sweet Apple Acres looking on of the vast orchard of apple trees "Whoa…! This place is huge!" She exclaimed while a faint chuckle could be heard turning to see a large man wearing a pair of jeans with hiking boots and a flannel shirt with half a green apple upon it "Thank you kindly young lady." He said with a smile while Applejack walked out of the farm house not far from his position.

"There you are Big Mac, we need to get ready for… Oh! There you are, Octavia messaged ahead… Izzy correct?" She asked with Izzy nodding, while Applejack smiled warmly "Good, now we are going on a limb for this, okay? You are just to help around the farm for the apple harvest." Applejack explained while Izzy nodded again, walking onto the land.

When a white and brown border collie running up and tackling Izzy, licking her face making her giggle happily. Applejack and Big Mac couldn't contain their laughter watching the scene before them, the dog continue to lick Izzy's face happily making her continue to giggle while Applejack soon stifled her laughter "S-Sorry… G-Guess Winona has taken a liking to you." She had said with Big Mac nodding in agreement as Winona gently jumped off Izzy, panting with a happy face.

Izzy slowly got up with slobber all over her face and giggling "It's alright, as well I am glad to hear that. She reminds me a lot of Ember, I may not be her Mama, but she likes a lot of people." Izzy said with a smile forming upon her face with the two smiling happily and nodding. "Well I am glad to hear that. Now you are to help with the apple harvest, we call it apple bucking sometimes, since Big Mac and me have a bit of a tendency to kick the trees at times when the time is right to get all the apples down, the rest of the time we climb up and pick the apples."

She explained with Izzy nodding while Big Mac walked over to a tree and gave it a swift, strong kick knocking a good amount of apples down from the tree and into the buckets below near the base of the tree.

Izzy watched on in awe while Applejack smiled softly while setting a few wooden buckets near another tree "Now you give it a try." She said with Izzy nodding happily, soon looking towards the tree, backing up a bit and broke out in a full sprint leaping through the air and drop kicking the tree, but instead of knocking the apples down she uprooted the whole tree and collapsed it upon the ground giving off a loud echo.

Applejack and Big Mac could feel their jaws hit the ground while Izzy quickly got up seeing the damage she had done "Oh Kluex! I am so sorry! I… I can fix this!" She nearly yelled and quickly running into the barn, soon running out of the barn with a rope and wrapping it around the tree, pulling it back up from the ground slowly while Big Mac and Applejack helped out when they finally got their jaws up from the ground.

The three soon pulled the tree back up and into the ground with the three sighing in relief, Izzy looked towards the two and gave a very nervous laugh, gently moving the dirt back over the the tree's roots while the two could not believe what had just happened when Applejack slowly spoke up "I-Izzy…? H-How did you… D-Do that…?" She slowly asked with Izzy blushing a little "F-Florans are kind of… R-Really strong…" Izzy admitted, blushing with embarrassment.

The two looked at her a little oddly, while Applejack spoke up "Floran? Like a plant? I mean, we all saw what you look like but… never really up close. You can change out of your disguise thing, if you like." She suggested while Izzy looked a little uneasy, but soon slowly nodded and deactivated her disguise, revealing her true form while looking at her bracelet "J-Jeez… I need to let it recharge…" She simply said while Applejack and Big Mac got a better look at Izzy, while they smiled softly.

"Now that, is a better look for you sugarcube." Applejack said with Big Mac nodding in agreement "Eyup." He agreed making Izzy beam happily. The two started to carry more buckets out with a couple of ladders, while Izzy leapt into one of the trees and picking apples from the trees, gently tossing them into the buckets with Applejack whistling "Impressive, having fun up there?" She asked while Izzy giggled a little "Thanks, and a bit… kind of reminds me when I was in our families village, and I used to climb the rainbow trees in the savannas of our home." Izzy said with a smile slowly forming upon her face, making Applejack look at her a little oddly.

"Rainbow trees? Like, trees that have the color like the rainbow?" Applejack asked with Izzy nodding "Mhmm, though inside the bark. They were normally used for building our homes, mine and my big Sis's dad used to be a builder before he became a guard." She reminisced, sitting down upon a branch while Applejack climbed up the ladder the to tree next to her. "Really? Your Pa was a guard? But also have an older sister? That's pretty neat, who is your big sis?" She asked while Izzy smiled happily, taking a photo out of her bracelet and showing it to Applejack, showing a photo of herself when she was around seven with Moon being eight, with their parents. Applejack looked on with a soft smile

"That's a mighty happy family, though… how come you're the only Floran?" She asked while Izzy sighed softly "I'm… adopted, but we still see each other as family, I maybe a Floran and my family is Avian's… but I still love them as my own parents and Moon as my big sister." Izzy admitted while Applejack smiled softly at this, seeing the truth in her words and nodding, getting back to work just chatting a bit between the groups, however unknown to them a small group of people were watching, taking photos.

With Crystal she was hauling over bundles of fabric over to Rarity as she was sewing a dress while Clyde was putting away a few large boxes of jems, making sure they don't fall off a shelf as Crystal placed the bundles of fabric on the table near Rarity "There you go Rarity, got the fabrics you asked for." Crystal had said, while wiping her forehead. Rarity gave a warm smile and took a bundle

"Thank you very much, darling. It's good to have more people on hand to help out, we are very backlogged on orders so thank you very much again." She said with Crystal nodding a bit as she took a bottle of water from her wrist, opening the top and take a long drink from it as Clyde looked towards Crystal "Hey Crystal, I have been meaning to ask. How do you do that? I've seen your friends wearing bracelets but you don't have one." He asked while Crystal looked towards him, gently stuffing the top back in "Well… I am, not completely… well… real." Crystal tried to find the right words, with Rarity gently setting her sewing needles down.

"What do you mean by that darling? You seem real to us, why do you say you're not?" She asked, wondering what might Crystal mean "I am… well, a synth as Mike would put it… A synthetic being, that is real but is not real. I can still eat, bleed, breed and everything else like a normal Avian… though, I am a little more… different, like how instead of having a bracelet I store everything in the micro pocket some call theirs, in my wrist." She explained with Rarity nodding, but slowly having a soft smile forming upon her face.

"Well, either way, you are as just alive as any of us, human, alien or anything you are still alive darling, and that's what matters in here." She explained, placing her hand upon her heart, with Clyde nodding with a warming smile as this made Crystal slowly smile a little with Pinkie Pie leaping up to a window and opening it "And Number 5 feels, alive!" She said happily, making the three snicker a little at this with Pinkie jumping down, disappearing without a trace while Crystal looked towards the two.

"Thank you, that means a lot from you two… it's kind of reminds me when Mike helped me become who I am today… It was a really eventful day… but he is one of the people that helped me, including my sister Wave and our friends also. They just only wanted to see me happy for me to be me, that's all that really mattered to all of us." Crystal said with Rarity smiling knowingly "Very true darling, but also… it seems someone likes someone." She said the last part in a sing song like tone, making Crystal blush a little while Clyde chuckled, turning to his wife "Now come on boo, you're embarrassing her." He said while Rarity just giggled and Crystal kept her blush, but rolled her eyes a little soon trying to get back to work as in a window's shadowy area was that of a camera's lens and the lenses of a pair of a light violet.

Wave was the next as she was helping Pinkie Pie, but still felt a little uneasy as she felt like that she was being watched but tried to brush it off, Pinkie Pie soon came over to her with a few bags of icing for the deserts in front of them "Alright! Now's my favorite part! Decorating the cakes with lots and lots of frosting! Creamy...creamy...froosstttiiinnng…." Pinkie said as she moaned and drooled a bit, making Wave move away a little from Pinkie Pie with a soft blush

"U-Uh okay…" She said starting to spread the frosting upon a few cakes while Pinkie Pie was giggling and stacking a few together to make bigger cakes while Wave continued to frost the one she was working on, slowly writing on it. Pinkie Pie soon looked over to find she was making a cake for Mike, soon looking at Wave with a look of sadness

"I'm sorry Dashie did that to your friend, me and a lot of the others are really concerned, is he doing okay?" Pinkie asked, as Wave felt a twinge of sadness, letting her gaze slowly fall towards the counter, slowly covering her gaze with strands of hair slowly falling with tears starting to slowly form, slowly running down her face and dripping gently upon the counter.

"N-No… H-He's not… He may act like he's alright but he ain't… H-He's broken, he feels like a freak… H-He… He…" She tried to say before breaking down into tears "He feels like a monster!" Wave screamed at Pinkie with tears continuing to fall, sitting down upon the ground near the counter, wrapping her arms around her legs.

Pinkie flinched hearing Wave's outburst, feeling sadness wash over her as her hair deflated flat on her head with the tone of her skin slowly darkening soon sitting next to Wave, gently pulling her into a hug sniffling very softly "I-I'm so very sorry to hear that… H-How can he feel so sad like that? H-How can he feel like that?" She asked with a weak tone, while Wave couldn't respond continuing to cry. She continued to cry for what felt like an eternity but soon it slowed down to soft sniffle, Pinkie heard this as she gently loosened up a little

"F-Feeling a little better?" She asked in a soft tone with Wave slowly wiping her tears away and nodding very slowly "Y-Yeah… I… I feel a little better…" Was all Wave could say, trying to calm herself down while Pinkie Pie helped her to her feet "H-How about we finish frosting the cakes and um… Oh! I know! We can tell funny stories to lighten the mood!" Pinkie suggested feeling her skin and hair lighten slowly inflating again, while Wave sniffled a little and nodded, smiling a little at the idea.

"I… I think that would be pretty neat…" She admitted with Pinkie beaming softly, soon taking a hold of a bag of icing and starting to icing a cake while Wave slowly started to spread the icing on the one she was making as the two swapped stories that happened to their friends as Wave was giggling a little "And he got so mad he literally froze Mise's head and started to hit sticks against it like a drum!" Wave said while Pinkie was trying not to fall over with a fit of laughter.

Wave couldn't help but laugh, she relatively felt calm, not only from having a new friend but that a calm tide began to wash over her but still had some worry for Mike while Pinkie stood up "That's sooooo insane!" She giggled with Wave giving a soft giggle and nodding, getting back to work as Pinkie still had something on her mind "Hey Wave, i've been meaning to ask what ever happen to Mikey to make him like this?" She asked, stopping Wave in her tracks quicker than any vehicle or bullet could ever.

"I know it's not my place to ask but… I am just really worried, he can make really nice friends here but I just worry…" Pinkie said while Wave slowly placed the bag of icing down, keeping her gaze away "Pinkie… I am going to explain something… alright? And this is very important that you understand… alright?" She asked in a calm, collected tone that was nearly like treading on thin ice. Pinkie slowly nodded, getting ready for anything while Wave let a hard sigh escape her lips

"About five to six months ago… We visited a place we call an outpost… a place that sells supplies, fuel and many other essentials… Now we all went there like normal, but for Mike it was his first time and he was excited, he didn't know where to go first so we gave him a tour what a normal outpost would have even some space stations as well, however they have more to them… though that was a day his life was changed forever, making him as who he is…" She tried to say, soon having her face slowly retort to that into one of disgust and rage.

"A man by the name of Dr. Xavier made him what he is… When we found him… all we could see was our broken friend and a crazed doctor caked with blood, and his accent… that thick german accent Mike told us… He… He refused to sleep for so many nights…" Wave boiled with rage, nearly ripping the icing bag in half with her nails digging deep into the bag, while some icing leak out upon the counter from the gashes left from her nails. Pinkie could only feel dread to hear those words coming from her newest friend, only soon hearing a sigh escaping from Wave's lips watching the icing bag go limp in her group and falling upon the counter

"I-I'm sorry…" She could only say before turning away, getting ready to leave until she felt a gentle hand place itself upon her shoulder "Wave… it's okay… I understand what you mean, most of our friends have dealt with a lot like that… but they have gotten better from it with friends, and I can tell you and your friends are helping him the best you can. And that is a great thing, and maybe making this cake will show how much you care, and show he's not a big mean monster he says he is." Pinkie beamed softly, with Wave smiling a little hearing that.

"Thank you, Pinkie… that is really kind of you to say… I just hope he's doing alright." Wave admitted with Pinkie giggling softly with a warm smile, helping her new friend back to the counter with the cakes as they talked, joking a little about somethings while on the other side was someone listening on with a tape recorder "Hmmm…. A psycho surgeon made him how he is…? Perfect…" The person said with a dark grin slowly stretching upon their face, leaving the building.

Now to Angel as she was carrying a few ferrets in her arms and giggling while Fluttershy was massaging the wings of a few baby birds "This is fun, isn't it?" Angel asked with Fluttershy nodding with a very soft smile "Oh it is. I just love taking care of all kinds of animals, it's very soothing to hear the little chirps of birds and the chatter of all kinds of baby animals with their families." She said while Angel giggled a little as the ferrets wiggled out of her arms, crawling all over her while Rosy was hopping happily after a few rabbits.

"You know, I thought I would be completely afraid of your alien pets, but they turned out to be very sweet." Fluttershy admitted, watching Rosy while Angel nodded "Mhmm, it's pretty crazy. I found Rosy during this whole big event called the school wars… it wasn't really a well… nice event, I still get really scared thinking about it." Angel had admitted with Fluttershy shaking with fear just at the thoughts of it.

She soon shook out of it while Angel was lifting a bag of bird seed, groaning softly while she carried it to a storage closet "Jeez… These things are heavy…" She heaved setting the large sack down upon a shelf with Fluttershy gently nodding "I understand, they can get pretty heavy that's why my boyfriend Night always picks them up, or some of our friends as well." She explained as Angel nodded in understandment as she pushed a cart of dog food out.

While she wheeled the dog food out Fluttershy gently placed down down a few dog food bowls when Fluttershy's phone started to go off, she picked it up "Yes? Oh hello Applejack what's going on? Uh huh… uh huh… Okay, well hopefully she is okay… alright, I will make sure to check on her as soon as I can." She said, soon hanging her phone up as Angel looked towards Fluttershy "What's going on? If you don't mind me asking." She asked as Fluttershy was picking up a small bag and putting in some medicine

"Oh it's winona, poor dear has a tummy ache from eating a few rotten apples, I am going to go check on her. Y-You can come with me, if it's not to much to ask." Fluttershy asked with Angel smiling warmly and shaking her head "Not at all, I think it would be interesting." She said following Fluttershy out of the shelter. Finally we now follow Moon where she was sitting in the park with Fang, Indigo and the two little sisters of his who were nuzzled close to the two while Fang had a glare upon his face, with Moon looking extra nervous of what was going on, not truly knowing what was going on.

Time slowly passed until Moon slowly broke the silence "S-So uh… W-What d-did you want me to come here f-f-for?" She asked in a slightly shaky tone while Fang kept his glare "Well for one… We want you to apologize to our little sisters… You and your friends scared the living the daylights out of them with the outbursts you and your friends had…" He said in a low, quiet tone with Moon becoming shocked, but soon remembered what had happened earlier that day slowly looking towards the two little girls

"I-I am so very sorry… W-We lost our anger because of a friend of your older brother and sister… W-We didn't mean to scare anyone… we were just so afraid and scared for our friend… I'm really, really sorry about it." Moon apologized with the two smiling a little. "I-It's okay, our big bro and sis helped calm us down." One said with the other nodding in agreement while Moon looked towards Fang as his glare softened "Thank you… that's all we wanted… but also… for what had happened to your friend." He asked, making Moon stop in her tracks, trying to think of the right words of what to say.

"W-We really don't know… it all happened so very fast… something was going on about your Rainbow haired friend, next thing we know she was beating the living heck out of him… for no reason what so ever!" Moon said trying to censor herself for the two young ones with the four looking on while Fang's face slowly formed to that of disgust and anger "Rainbow dash…." He murmured softly under his breath, letting a sigh escape "I'm sorry for what she has done to your friend." Fang apologized with Moon slowly nodding

"It's alright… He's faced worse… but he seems a little better since of yesterday." Moon admitted, making the four slowly smile a little hearing those words. While the five talked amongst each other Fang's phone gently buzzed with a text from his friend Pinkie Pie 'Hey Fangy! You know how that new guy Mike has been feeling down and how his friends feel like outcasts and everything? Well I was thinking of throwing a party to make everyone happy and cheerful again! I got the idea from Wave making a cake for her friend Mike, what do you think?' Fang read in his mind as he began to text her back.

While Fang texted his friend a response Indigo was gently petting the two little girls heads "You know, i've been meaning to ask. What are your names little ones?" Moon asked with a sweet smile making the two smile happily "I'm Smoke! And this is my sister Butterfly!" Smoke said happily with her sister named Butterfly nodding happily "Mhmm! What's your name?" She asked with Moon giggling softly

"My names Moonbeam, but I go by Moon as well." Moon explained with the two giggling. Indigo on the other hand could just only smile at the scene before her when Fang put his phone away, "Sorry, just texting someone." He said vaguely with Indigo looking towards him with an odd look when he motioned for her to join him for a second as Indigo nodded "Alright, hey Moon can you look after Smoke and Butterfly please? I need to talk to Fang real quick." She requested of Moon while she nodded, a warm smile forming upon her face.

"Of course, I can look after them." She said watching Indigo and Fang getting up, while Butterfly and Smoke decided to start making flower crowns and daisy chains with the flowers near the lake, while Moon giggled softly and decided to join the two as Butterfly asked very politely for Moon to braid her hair, with Moon nodding with a warm smile and starting to braid her hair. Fang quickly pulled Indigo to the side and showed her the text on his phone, making her gasp softly and looking towards her boyfriend

"Do you think it's a good idea? I mean… they look well… I don't know, on edge you know cause of everything." Indigo said while Fang gently shook his head "I have no idea… Let's just… think this through, and hopefully things go well… okay?" He asked as Indigo slowly nodded, gently kissing her boyfriend upon the lips "Okay, I am going to check on our little sisters okay? I just hope they are getting along with Moon." She had said while Fang nodded, texting his friend back while Indigo gasped seeing the three as she giggled madly "Oh my faust! That is just adorable!" She said seeing Smoke and Butterfly with braided hair with flowers braided in, with the same for Moon while the two were braiding them in.

Fang soon walked over and saw this, trying to contain his laughter "That is so sweet!" He said with Moon, Smoke and Butterfly giggling, relaxing under the shade of the trees above them as Moon could only do was dream of the future, making her giggle a little gently sitting against a tree. Now finally we change our programming back to Mike and Mise while he continued to answer the questions the many groups were asking, with him sighing softly

"For the last time… I don't have a damn tail…" He said while another asked "Do you eat banana's with your feet?" While Mike could feel his patience wearing thin "First of all, I have no idea, two that's racist… for the eighth time… for nearly each of the races… and thirdly, I will slap you down and shit." Mike had said while Mise jumped up on his hind legs "Yeah! Dracula going to slap a bitch!" He said in his dracula voice, while all groups continued to write.

Mike slowly looked towards Mise and shook his head "Dude… this is just getting fucking ridiculous..." He whispered while Mise nodded and whispered back to him "Seriously… as your self-appointed advisor and makeshift lawyer, I recommend leaving sooner rather than later." Mise whispered back as Mike nodded in agreement, until another spoke up. "Alright, now next question is how does your social structure system of all kinds of forms, including military, political, living structure, educational and everything that is about all the planets you have ever visited?" The woman asked, with Mike and Mise gently blinking at the question trying to comprehend what the girl said until Mise spoke up

"The number you have just dialed is not in service, please hang up and try again…" He said in a calm tone while Mike spoke after "Uh… you know, I will have to get back to you on that one…" Mike said after Mise with the groups nodding, while Micro Chips spoke into his tape recorder "Subject appears to have more info then given… must be hiding more for safety reasons… fascinating, did speak of technology that he knows… maybe introducing new ones could gain a reaction." He whispered in a hushed tone into his recorder.

As this was going on Mike only had one thought in his mind 'Why does this guy think I am a complete moron? But also, why does he call me a subject?' He wondered when Micro Chips spoke "Now, I think it would be a good idea, to introduce 'Mike' to some of our technology." He suggested with the groups nodding and getting up, walking into another room while beckoning for the two to follow.

Mike soon got up while picking Mise up, placing him upon his shoulder and walking into the room to find that it had many chairs set up with a projector with the groups sitting down upon the chairs, while Micro Chips was tying something in a laptop connected to the projector bringing up a slideshow as Mike and Mise sat down with the group soon showing a photo of an smartphone "As you can see we have many kinds of a smart phones for this paved the way for everything." He said while Mike spoke "Eh… I prefer my android really." Mike simply said, being simple with his answer while the group looked towards him, nodding a bit as Zero was helping change the slides as it changed to Twilight in a bikini, making the group look on in shock while Twilight was blushing.

Zero quickly to the slide out "S-Sorry sweetie! My bad!" He said, quickly putting the slide into his pocket and slipping the correct slide in while Mise spoke "Just be glad it's not my wife!" He said trying not to laugh, while Mike sighed and looked on to see two female adults that looked awfully familiar while Sunset spoke "These are our principals, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna. They are really kind people and always there for all of us…" She said as Mike slowly tuned everyone out, soon smiling a bit as an idea crossed his mind. He slowly raised his hands up towards Luna and Celestia's photo as the shadows took control, soon pretending to braid Luna's hair, while singing softly in italian making everyone turn towards him with odd looks as his hands slowly started to bite at Celestia's arms, giving soft growls with each bite.

The group started to become upset at this while Twilight walked to the front "Now listen here Mike, we have waited very long for exterrestrial life to finally visit and you are acting like this is all a game, now will you please be kind enough and let us continue?" She asked while the shadows of his hands slowly raised towards Twilight's breasts and began to gently twist. "Bew we oh, bew we oooh." He said with Twilight looking down at the shadows as he started to quickly open and close them "Honk honk honk!" Mike spoke as Twilight blushed deeply, closing her lab coat as He held his hands up into a eye mask "Hi ho silver away!" He said happily while Mise fell off his shoulder, laughing his little ass off.

The groups sighed softly while Twilight huffed in anger while Mike was laughing softly "I-I'm sorry… I'm sorry, I thought a good laugh would ease the tension… anyway let's continue." Mike apologized with the groups nodding and showing a few more slides, of what Mike already knew of in technology wise that he has seen or owned in the past. The slides soon shut off with Twilight smiling "Now, you probably have many questions of what is going on, but don't worry we have answers but also a bit of a request really." She said, this raised an eyebrow from Mike looking on with a look of confusion

"A request? What kind if you would please specify?" He asked with Twilight smiling softly "Just some samples, like hair, saliva, skin samples maybe a little blood." She said making Mike sit up quickly from his seat "You know what… No, I only promised to do the interview, not start giving away pieces of myself to science, i'm leaving." He said picking Mise up when the door closed by Micro Chips "We don't think so, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity first was the equestrian magic, now we have aliens… We will gain much from learning from you." He said with Mise whispering to Mike.

"Dude, it's time to make like Chris Farley's jacket and split." He whispered with Mike nodding "Well, I would have to say… I still say fuck no." He said quickly turning to a wall not far that had a chains attached to it with a lever, seeing that it was connected to some of Twilight equipment when he soon rain to it, quickly grabbing the chains and kicking the lever hard, being pulled up up by the chains while the equipment fell hard upon the ground, smashing into pieces giving soft sparks of electricity.

The groups we're surprised by this as Micro Chips grabbed multiple tranquilizer guns and distributed them out to everyone except for Twilight and Sunset for they refused, they then began to shoot tranquilizers at Mike and Mise as they landed upon the beam above and quickly ran across as Mise reached into Mike's hoodie pocket and grabbed his cellphone, soon turning on the pirate's of the caribbean chase music when he felt three tranquilizers hit him, two in his back and on in his tail "Three darts is too much…" He said in a drugged up tone.

Mike quickly grabbed Mise before he fell off his shoulder and stuffed him into his hoodie, grabbing another chain and swinging high above the groups while taking out his revolver and firing three rounds off, shattering a window and swinging into the window seal and smirked "You will remember this day greatly, for this day you nearly caught and interviewed Mike Reith!" He said climbing out of the area into the yard. Mike let out a sigh while stuffing his revolver back into his holster, soon taking Mise out of his hoodie and removed the three darts out of his little body "Dude? You going to be alright man?" He asked while Mise was still a little loopy "No mommy, I don't wanna finish my vegetables…" Mise loopfully said as Mike let out a gentle sigh. "Yeah… you're still pretty fucking out of it man… Come on… let's get you home." He said stuffing Mise back into his hoodie and placing his helmet back on, hopping onto his bike and starting it up quickly taking off from the house, lost in thought of what had just happened before him trying to connect any dots that were created from it, when he nearly crashed into a pole and stopped himself.

He let out a sigh, shaking his head and waiting for the light to change to green, looking around a little to see any traffic coming his way when he soon drove off when the light changed, He had then reached his destination of Octavia's home slowly turning the vehicle off while Octavia walked out seeing Mike "There you are! How'd it go with Twilight? Wait, where's Mise?" Octavia asked looking around while Mike got off the hoverbike and pulled Mise out from his hoodie, gently handing him to Octavia

"Here you go, plus it was… royally insane… let's just say, you can call me Jack sparrow." He said walking into the house as Octavia looked at the drugged up Mise who gently patted her cheek with a paw "Ohhhh~ hey Octy~! How're you doin'?" Mise said, slurring his speech slightly while Octavia looked at him with worry, soon running into the house to find Mike sitting on the couch with a soda, as he turned to her.

Octavia looked towards Mike with worry for Mise from his current state. Mike looked towards Octavia while taking a sip from his soda "Well for one thing, your friend Twilight wanted samples of my hair, skin and blood. I refused then their friend Micro Chips and all the groups there were going to get them with force, next thing we all know I am reenacting that scene from Pirates of the Caribbean, Mise got shot three times with Tranquilizer darts, we escaped and here we are now." He said as Mise sang softly

"I feel like clone a now, there's always two of me just hanging around town!" Mise sang happily while Octavia sighed and sat down upon the couch next to Mike with one hand wrapped around his soda, sitting upon his lap while his other hand was in his hoodie pocket, with a face of a person lost in deep thought. Octavia was petting Mise's head as he slowly fell asleep in her lap, a gentle sigh escaped her lips

"At least he's asleep now… hopefully this stuff gets out of his system soon." Octavia spoke with hope in her words while Mike nodded "It should, the stuff may have been normal ones… or even horse tranquilizers… if so then we would have a major problem on our hands if so." He admitted while Octavia looked down towards Mise with worry painting her face, while Mike finished his soda and crushed the can in his hand.

The two sat in silence, except for the gentle snores of Mise, gently nuzzling into Octavia's lap while she continued to pet him, hoping for the drugs that were pumped into him soon flush out of his system while Mike had his mind elsewhere, just thinking in general about everything that has happened so far but slowly let his train of thought break. He got up from his seat and walked to the kitchen, throwing the can into the trash and placing his helmet back onto his head, walking to the front door

"Hey Octavia… I'm gonna go for a drive… I'll see you later, okay?" He said while Octavia slowly nodded, watching over her sleeping husband with a look of worry while Mike watched her, soon walking back into the kitchen and walking back out with a bottle of water, handing it to Octavia "Here, he's going to be thirsty when he wakes up." He said with Octavia thanking him, watching him walk out of the front door. Mike closed the door behind him, making sure not to let it slam and wake Mise up as he let out a gentle sigh

'I hope Mise feels better… If I see those people again… I'm gonna kick their asses!' Mike yelled in his mind and jumping upon his hoverbike, shoving the keys in the ignition and revving the engine loud, speeding down the streets of the town past many buildings, even a large orchard he past the day before.

Angel and Fluttershy were at the orchard looking over Winona as Izzy was carrying three bushels of apples with Big Mac and Applejack, the three set down the bushels as Applejack wiped her forehead "Woowee, this is going faster than our last harvest. Thank you kindly Izzy, as well thank you kindly Angel and Fluttershy for looking over Winona there, poor girl ate a few rotten apples again." She admitted with Fluttershy giving a soft smile

"Oh it's quite alright, she just has a bit of a tummy ache, good thing you stopped her from eating anymore. She should be fine with just a little water, maybe some ginger root." Fluttershy explained with Applejack nodding while Angel gently petting Winona's head, until they heard a loud roar of a engine. The group nearly jumped out of their skin when they heard the engine, soon turning to see someone driving up the street with a vehicle that was hovering above the ground "What in tarnation is that thing?!" Applejack yelled over the engine watching it pass by as Izzy giggled softly

"Guess Mike is taking a drive around the town." She said with Angel nodding, trying to keep Winona calm as Fluttershy was shaking like a leaf while Applejack turned to Izzy "That was Mike? What in tarnation is he doing driving a motorcycle? But also… my other question is, why is he going to the direction of the Honorhall Orphanage?" She asked while the last part, got everyone thinking.

Angel began to think back to when she watched the specials soon smiling a little "I think I know why… and it's very sweet." She said while the group looked towards her while Izzy spoke "That's kind of vague… but also it's not a motorcycle, it's a hoverbike. It was given to him by his mom, she's a really sweet Feline woman." Izzy said with a giggle, which only made the group look even more confused but took it with face value while Applejack started to think, but not liking it.

"I don't know about any of you… but something is going on that he ain't telling anyone, I think we should see what's going on." She said while most of the group looking towards her with Big Mac speaking "You think that's such a great idea sis?" He asked with her nodding "I do Big Mac, and I know for a fact I ain't liking what might happen… what if it was little Applebloom up there?" She asked as Big Mac turned towards his sister, gently placing his hands upon her shoulders

"Listen Applejack, I know you're scared for our little sister and looking out for all of us in the family… but you need to stop, okay? Some doors are better left unopened, if you keep acting like this you'll just end up like Rainbow Dash, and you already know what she has done so far…" He warned, making Applejack stop in her tracks and slowly nodding.

"A-Aye… Aye do Big Mac… Aye just worry to much since well… Ma and Pa are gone and we only have Granny, Applebloom and us left." Applejack admitted with a hint of tears starting to form, Big Mac gave a gentle smile slowly wiped the tears away from her eyes "Aye hear you little sis, but you just need to calm down a little. I'm sure it's nothing bad, maybe he just volunteers or something, we don't really know… but that's his business not ours, we can ask and if he refuses to tell then it's fine." He cooed to his sister, making her smile a little as she gently laid her head upon his chest.

"You're right Big Mac… thanks for straightening me out of it… Ma and Pa would never approve of that idea." She said making Big Mac chuckle, "They wouldn't approve of a lot of things." He said with a hearty chuckle, making Angel and Izzy confused, but she didn't really mind and went back to work as Angel looked towards Fluttershy who was blushing

"What does he mean by that?" She whispered while Fluttershy leaned over and whispered into her ear, making her blush very deeply and nearly fall over in shock, soon turning towards Big Mac and Applejack holding each other close, as she was looking on with shock 'G-Guess a lot of people were right…' She thought to herself, quickly walking into the orchard.

Back with Mike who parked his vehicle, he slowly walked towards the building when he heard someone's voice echoing from the back "And now that I the great and powerful Trixie, shall make my assistant's disappear!" The voice echoed while Mike quickly scaled the building to find a large stage was set up in the back with the entire building watching on with awe, as the woman known as Trixie held up a cloth ring around someone, quickly dropping to reveal they were missing while the children clapped on and cheered happily.

Mike smiled softly seeing this, slowly walking around the building to find Eclipse with Midnight, and with the owner Mrs. Orange, watching on while Midnight and Eclipse were holding Strawberry and Starry, making Mike smile a little bigger starting to walk towards them until Trixie spoke again "Now! I will need a volunteer from the audience!" She cheered while the kids happily held their hands up excitedly, while Trixie scanned the crowd soon laying her eyes upon a certain young man "You there, sir!" She called, making Mike turn towards her and point towards himself with her nodding "Yes you! Please come to the stage!" Trixie said happily while the crowd cheered and Mike was about to refuse until he felt something, or someone's snag his hands "Come on, silly daddy! I-I mean, Mr. Mike!" The voice said with Mike looking down to find Strawberry and Starry gently dragging him to the stage.

Mike felt his heart strings slowly gettin plucked like a harp, as he soon went limp and followed the two with a smile slowly adorning his face while he was dragged on stage, Trixie helped Mike up while Strawberry and Starry watched on from the side, giggling happily the two watched on and joined back with Eclipse and Midnight while Trixie walked up next to him holding the Mic close. "Now then sir, what is your name?" Trixie asked while Mike got an idea, soon speaking up in a fake Irish accent

"My name is Mise en Place! I like potatoes!" He said happily while doing a little dance, making everyone burst into laughter while he heard a single groan but a soft laughter behind him while Mike just chuckled softly. "Alright, alright my real name is Mike Reith." He said with a soft smile forming while Trixie smiled happily

"Great! Now! I would like for you to step in the box behind you." Trixie directed with Mike nodding, stepping into the box as the three flaps closed before him while Trixie grabbed a few blade like blocks, stepping in front of the crowd "Now! Watch in awe as I split Mike here in three!" She announced, placing the blocks into the slots soon slowly pushing the bottom block to the left side, while the male assistant pushed the top block the right side as Trixie opened the doors revealing Mike split into three places.

"Holy crap… I'm in the nth dimension!" He announced, making the crowd burst into laughter while Mike looked towards Trixie "This is insane! And I thought being a mix of races was crazy." He admitted, which caught everyone's attention but soon brushed it off as a joke but something else caught their attention, it was wrapped around Mike's waist, it was his tactical belt and revolver. The kids, and adults became uneasy while Trixie closed the doors and brought the boxes back together, taking the blade blocks out and opened the doors as Mike was unharmed but rolled his neck a little

"Man… gives you such a creek in the neck." Mike admitted gently rubbing his neck, walking off the stage as Trixie continued to the show "U-Uh… A-Anyway, for my next trick!" Trixie said as Mike walked away walking towards Strawberry and Starry as they were being held by Midnight and Eclipse, though a little more defensively "So… Mike, did you enjoy participating?" Eclipse asked while Mike nodded.

"I did, it hurt my neck a little, but I had a lot of fun, it was pretty crazy." He said with a smile forming with the four nodding, while Midnight gently spoke "U-Uh Mike… I… I have a question…" Midnight slowly asked while Mike turned to her "Of course Midnight, what's up?" He asked while Midnight was trying ask until Eclipse spoke "We want to know why you have a gun on you, with a holster on your belt." Eclipse asked bluntly while Mike stopped for a second, trying to find the right words till he slowly spoke.

"It's because it's part of my school curriculum and…" He slowly said, letting his gaze fall "It's a reminder… of a day that made me who I am…" Mike said, keeping most info hidden but the two could tell the pain he felt behind his words "We… We didn't know, we're really sorry to hear that Mike." Midnight gently spoke, with Eclipse nodding feeling a small tug in the two's arms to find that Strawberry and Starry we're reaching out towards Mike.

They smiled warmly and gently handed Strawberry and Starry to Mike, he took a hold of the two "I-It's a little scary… B-But we don't mind…" Strawberry had said with Starry nodding "Y-Yeah… I-It think it's kind of really cool actually… Y-You kind of look like a policeman." Starry said, to only hear silence but soon heard a small chuckle coming from Mike then a very soft laugh with a very small, gentle smile forming upon his lips.

The group started to smile at this while Mike held the two close, gently kissing their foreheads "Thank you… all of you, I really needed that." He admitted with Starry and Strawberry nuzzling into Mike's chest, giggling very softly as Eclipse gently nudged Midnight as she gasped softly "Oh! Mike I just remembered something, that we would like to ask you, on the behalf of Mrs. Orange." She said, gaining the attention of Mike with him looking towards Midnight with an eyebrow raised towards her "Uh, sure what's up if I may ask?" Mike asked while Midnight said the next words, that made his eyes slowly grow wide.

"We were wondering if you are interested in adopting Strawberry and Starry from the orphanage?" She asked with a kind smile, as Mike could feel his heart skip a beat not really sure what to say, slowly looking towards the two with hopeful eyes "U-Uh well… I… I'm not really sure… I-I would have to talk to my girlfriend about it… I-If that is okay? I-I'm really sure you will like her, she's really sweet.

But that doesn't mean I am saying no, it's just uh… complicated right now, but I will make sure to come back to you all with my answer, okay?" He explained with the two nodding, while Starry and Strawberry slowly nodded with hopeful eyes while Mike gently kissed their foreheads with a warm smile. "I will bring her by very soon, heck I might just swing by again today with her, if that is okay?" He asked with the happily nodding, making Eclipse and Midnight smile happily, gently setting the two back down as Mike's bracelet began to beep.

The four looked at it oddly while Mike swiped to the side hearing Octavia's voice "Hey Mike? D-Did I get this right?" She asked with Mike nodding "Yeah you did, you got it on your first try I am guessing?" He asked while Octavia gently blushed on the other side of the line "N-Not really… I-It took me some time… and I asked Crystal and Wave when they got back… Anyway, Mise finally woke up and is wondering where you are." She explained with Mike nodding, soon smiling a little towards Eclipse, Midnight, Strawberry and Starry "That's good to hear, as well I am… out on the highway, just kicking back a little on my bike… I will be back soon, alright?" He asked with his smile while Octavia nodded on the other end.

"Alright, I will make sure to let him, Wave and Crystal know, I think Izzy and Angel will be back soon as well." Octavia said, soon hanging up while Mike snickered a little as Strawberry and Starry were looking over his bracelet, wondering how he did it making him laugh a little "It's going to surprise you two but…" He looked around a little soon leaning in "I'm an alien." He whispered to the two, making them gasp and giggling

"You're an alien?! Do you have a lazer gun? Do you have a large space ship? Are you a little green person? Are you wearing a human thingy? Can you make your finger glow? Do you like reese's pieces?" The two little ones asked, making Mike smile and chuckle heartfully, soon gently petting their heads. "How about I show you two something cool." He said, soon looking towards Trixie getting ready to do her next trick as he spoke

"Hey Trixie! I got a trick you can do!" He yelled with everyone turning towards him while she slowly nodded "Uh… O-Okay, what kind of trick do you have in mind?" Trixie asked as Mike quickly made his way over to her and whispered "You turn me into a cat, just follow my lead alright?" He whispered, climbing on top of the stage with Trixie nodding a bit.

Trixie turned towards the audience, soon clearing her throat "Alright everyone! Now for one of my grandest tricks! I shall turn Mike here into a cat!" Trixie announced with the crowd gasping in awe that grand of a trick, with her two assistants walking over, one known as Alchemy and the other of Diamond Tiara when she whispered to them as Mike smiled softly, gently nudging towards the round curtain.

The two nodded and quickly grabbed it, bringing it high above Mike's head while Trixie spoke "Now! Before your very eyes, I shall turn Mike into a cat!" She said while Mike chuckled softly, soon changing quickly into his Feline disguise while Trixie smashed a smoke bomb while the two dropped the curtain with the crowd, Trixie and her assistants, Eclipse, Midnight, Strawberry and Starry gasping in awe, with Mike slowly looking around with a small smile slowly forming and his tail gently swishing.

Everyone was in shock at what was before them, Diamond Tiara slowly walked towards Mike as she slowly reached her hand towards him, Mike saw this from the corner of his eye and smiled happily soon gently wrapping his tail around her hand, she was surprised by this feeling herself gently getting pulled close while Mike gently leaned down, slowly moving her hand towards behind his ear.

She knew what this meant as she started to slowly scratch behind his ear, making him purr very softly while Diamond felt a smile slowly form upon her face with Mike's tail slowly unwrapping from her wrist, the crowd stared on in awe but also began to laugh a little with his attention slowly turning towards Strawberry and Starry. They were watching on while Mike gently jumped from the stage, soon running across the field area on all fours like a cat would, sitting down in front of the two and purring gently looking towards the two with his head gently cocking to the side letting out a gentle meow.

Midnight and Eclipse saw this, nearly falling over in surprise to find their newest friend into a large catboy right in front of them, Strawberry and Starry slowly extended their hands towards Mike as he gently nuzzled into their hands making them giggle happily, melting the hearts of everyone in the crowd while the two pet Mike's head while he gently whispered

"Pretty cool huh?" He whispered as the four looked at him with surprise and were going to speak until Mike gently held a finger up towards his lips, giving a small wink as he ran back to the stage on all fours, sitting upon the stage where the curtain was, gently wrapping his tail around his body with Alchemy and Diamond Tiara quickly picking the curtain up letting Mike stand as he changed back to his normal self while Trixie threw another smoke bomb, while the two dropped the curtain as the crowd cheered and everyone took a bow.

Mike stepped down from the stage and walked over to the four and smiled softly with Strawberry and Starry squealing softly with Eclipse snickering softly and Midnight giggling "That was so cute! How did you do that?" She asked while Mike smiled softly "A magician never reveals his secrets. Anyway, I better get going I just hope Mise is doing better he got shot three times with tranquilizers. Let me just say, your friend Micro Chips is pretty crazy." He admitted, soon kneeling before Strawberry and Starry pulling them into a hug.

"I will be back a little later, okay? I need to talk to my girlfriend about this, though I hope she says yes." He said with a smile slowly forming upon his face with the two nodding a bit and hugging Mike back, he kept them in the hug not really wanting to let them go but slowly and reluctantly let go of them, slowly getting up and waving goodbye while placing his helmet upon his head, walking to the front of the orphanage and getting upon his bike, shoving the keys into the ignition and revving the engine loud, soon speeding off down the street.

Over at the house Izzy and Angel finally made it back to the house as Crystal was explaining the damages "So this is exactly what happened to the ship, and by the looks of things if we don't fix it soon the FTL drive is going to go bust, and probably take the whole ship with it… or hopefully in a less destructive way just shatter the crystal inside. However also the navigation is fried, and nearly all the thrusters are broken, smashed or even missing and a wing is completely gone, if we can we could possibly jury rig a few pieces and cross our fingers and make it to the closest space station." She explained to the group with them nodding while Mise walked out of his and Octavia's bedroom, back in his normal form and chef clothing again while rolling his neck a little

"Damn… that feels better, I know i'm breaking the promise of the bet… but I can't take another day as a snugget, don't get me wrong it was nice doing nothing, being snuggled close to my wife's breasts all day and being petted, but it kind of got a little… how you say, boring a bit since I was so limited of doing things… no offense sweetie." He said while Octavia smiled warmly, gently kissing her husband upon the lips.

"It's alright honey, plus I prefer you as your normal self." Octavia admitted with her smile, making the girls giggle softly with smiles slowly forming while the sound of a loud engine could be heard from outside, making the group jump a little but smile "Sounds like Mike's back." Wave said with a happy smile, while Izzy opened the door watching Mike park when she tackled him in a hug.

"Mr. Snuggles! You're back!" She smiled happily, tackling him onto the lawn while Mise shut the bike off and Mike hugged Izzy back, laughing a little "It's good to see you too, sweetie." Mike smiled while getting up with Izzy still in his arms, looking towards Octavia and Mise "Sorry I took so long to get back, but I came back as soon when I heard Mise was feeling better. You feeling better man? No muscle problems or anything?" Mike asked with Mise shaking his head

"Nah, not really I feel pretty good actually, all things considered." Mise shrugged, while popping his back "Haven't slept like that in a long while." He sighed softly in relief, while Mike smiled softly "Well that's good to hear, at least you are feeling a lot better. I just still can't believe that happened, it was fucking insane… fun, but insane." Mike admitted gently letting Izzy go as she was giggling a little, soon taking an apple out of her pocket taking a bite from it.

Mise gave a hearty chuckle and nodded "True, but it was fun as hell. In all irony, I would do that again just so we could destroy some stuff and reenact a great movie franchise." He said with a chuckle, that was light hearted making the group smile while Mike spoke up "Anyway man, it's good to see your doing better and back to your old self." He said while walking inside with the group while they nodded

"Yeah, plus I was fixing my chef's coat again. It started to fall apart on me." Mise explained holding his sleeve up with one of his hands, before it soon disintegrated into shreds by his touch, falling upon the floor "Well shit… this was my favorite coat." Mise said while Octavia looked at him "Mise, you seriously need to get some real clothes. I mean you have been wearing that same coat for nearly three years, please… just get some new clothes okay? We can all go to the mall today, do a little shopping I think there is something for all of us." Octavia asked of Mise, while he was going to protest he let a sigh escape from his lips, knowing that she was right about it.

"Alright Octy… I think it's a good idea." Mise admitted while Mike spoke up "I agree with Octavia, but as well we need a few more clothes as well, since we thought it would be a two day trip." Mike said patting Mise's shoulder while the other sleeve disintegrated into shreds also, landing upon the floor with a odd looking round handgun falling with it, leaving a small harness piece around Mise's arm with the group looking on while he slowly picked the gun up and stuffing it into his pocket

"You know… I am not going to ask why you have it, or how you were able to keep it up your sleeve before it fell apart… let's just move on from it." Octavia said with the group nodding in agreement walking out of the home while Mise climbed up his tank with Octavia following behind. She looked towards the group and motioned them to follow, the group looked at each other as Crystal slowly climbed up first followed by Angel and Izzy, as Moon looked over to find Mike deconstructing his hoverbike back into the orb he got it from, stuffing it into his hoodie pocket and climbing the tank as he helped Moon and Wave up onto the tank.

Mise started the tank, hearing the extremely loud roar of the engines with the group sitting down on the tank, Mise soon began to drive the tank down the streets of Canterlot with most of the group getting inside the tank except Angel who was watching Mike closely as he was just sitting on the side of the tank, almost looking like he was lost in thought.

Angel watched on with worry, slowly sitting down next to him as he looked to be staring off into space "M-Mike? A-Are you okay?" Angel asked with worry lacing her words, making Mike snap out of his thoughts "Huh? Yeah, i'm fine just… got a lot on my mind really… just things in general… wondering if we are going to get off the planet, if we are going to get the ship fixed… stuff like that, you know?" Mike turned to Angel as she nodded a bit in understandment while Mike felt a soft smile slowly forming

"You know… ever since I left earth, I actually missed a lot about it… family, a good friend… and a lot more really." He explained a bit, soon chuckling a little "I even started to lose my mind during the school wars… even imagined our newest friend Stormy was you at one point." He gave a nervous chuckle with a soft blush forming while Angel blushed a little deeply, looking away a little "A-At least you are doing a little better… R-Right?" She asked while Mike slowly nodded.

"Yeah, I actually slowly gotten better… even though I still have nightmares, plus a worse case of insomnia at times… but I try to get past it, and I feel like I will lose control…" He admitted, feeling his smile slowly fall into a frown as Angel began to feel worried, sad and many emotions for Mike until he spoke again that gained her attention "But… I fight it the best I can, trying to keep it back… and having you, Mise, Octavia and everyone by my side… it gives me hope… hope that I will get past all this one day, hope that a better future is in front of us, hope that… we all see another sunrise." He said with hope intertwining in his voice.

Angel felt a gentle smile starting to form with her blush slowly disappearing while Mise spoke up from the inside of the tank "We can hear all of what you just said man, and we all have to say we agree and amen my brother." Mise had said, while Wave spoke "Yeah, now kiss you two!" She said teasing a little making the two blush softly but soon heard a soft laughter coming from inside, making the two smile a little and give a soft laugh as Wave poked her head out from inside.

"I'm just kidding, you two. Anyway, Octavia told us that we should be reaching the mall soon… if Mise doesn't decide to flatten anyone's cars like a pancake." Wave said giggling a little while Mise sighed "I wasn't going to…. Well, at least not today..." Mise admitted, making the group burst into laughter. The laughter slowly died down while Mise was flipping a few switches while turning towards the group

"Well how bout we lighten up the mood a bit with some music." Mise said as he flipped through his playlist and selected a song, soon hearing the soft crackles of the speakers when the music began to play making Mise smile, while Octavia gently rolled her eyes and the girls just smiling listening to the music while Moon spoke up "Sounds like one of those CD's Mike bought for us back on earth." She had said with a warm smile.

Up on top of the tank Mike was humming softly to the song and tapping his nails to the beat while Angel giggled softly, gently scooting a little closer towards Mike with a soft blush forming but felt happy nonetheless with the tank driving down the streets, nearly clipping a lamp post with a tree near it "Jeez… there's a lot of stuff on the streets… Mise have you been drinking man?" Mike asked with worry in his voice while Mise shook his head, gently stuffing a flask in his coat

"No...well, not recently, I had few jiggers of gin and couple drams of scotch before you got home." Mise admitted, hearing the loud banging of metal up top. The group looked at each other oddly of what the noise was as Angel slowly looked over the hatch opening "Uh… M-Mike's kind of… well… banging his head on a hatch… M-May I have the medical kit please?" Angel asked with Moon taking the medkit out of her bracelet and quickly handed it to Angel.

"Please stop him and patch him up if he hurt himself, please?" Moon asked while Angel nodded and quickly went to Mike's side while Octavia sighed and turned to her husband "If we weren't surrounded by 8 inches of steel armor,I'd strangle you…" Octavia said as Mise waved his hand "I'm not even buzzed, I had some mozzarella sticks left in the fridge, probably should have led with that…" Mise said as the mall started to come into view.

The group watched on through the little slits of steel to see a very large mall coming into view while Mise slowly stopped the tank, parking it into a parking space soon shutting the engines off with the group climbing out of the tank and being helped down by Mike and Mise, the two then jumped down joining the group and walking towards the large mall. The group walked through the doors with Mise and Mike holding the doors open for everyone, soon joining them walking to a main area past a kiosk with sunglasses, passing a girl talking to herself wearing sparkling star sunglasses looking into a mirror.

The group looked at each other and shrugged, walking away from the kiosk while Mise spoke "And we are walking, and we are walking…" Mise whispered to the group, leading them away into another area "And we are in the clear." He said while Mike spoke "So… we are just going to ignore the babblings of a woman that is clearly not well?" Mike asked with Octavia going to speak until Mise did "I think it would be best, if we just stay out of the way of the craziness that happens." Mise had said while Octavia nodded in agreement.

Mike sighed a little and nodded, turning around and starting to walk till he bumped into someone "Sorry, didn't mean to walk into you." Mike had said turning to the person he bumped into to find it was a woman that had pale light grayish violet skin with moderate persian blue eyes and moderate purple and lighter purple hair, following in her hair was pale light, grayish aquamarine highlights.

She was wearing light black grayish jeans with multiple holes in the legs, light turquoise shirt with light purple sleeves and collar, she was a sleeveless open black jacket and a dark pinkish beanie with white stars strewn upon it and a black watch on her left wrist and a pair of black high heeled boots. The girl looked towards Mike and smiled softly, gently waving it off as she had a familiar sounding voice that Angel nearly recognized instantly "I-It's alright, I am still kind of getting my bearings as well." The girl admitted, giggling softly making Mike snicker a little as a familiar voice spoke not far "There you are Starlight, i've been looking all over for… you." The voice said with everyone turning to see Sunset standing not far from everyone.

"Uh… H-Hey there, everyone… uh… Mike… Mise, it's good to see you two are okay." Sunset gently spoke while Mike spoke up "Good to see you as well Sunset, and before you ask no… we don't hold any hard feelings towards your friends… though if Micro Chips does that again I will make sure to shove him where the sun don't very shine." He said simply with Sunset slowly nodding, while Mike gave a subtle wink, making the group smile a little. Sunset and the girl named Starlight soon became confused by this when Crystal spoke

"That only means he's kidding, he doesn't want to hurt Micro Chips… unless he tries whatever happened again." She explained with Sunset nodding "I hear you, and I agree. Anyway I am just showing Starlight here around Canterlot." Sunset explained while Starlight gave a gentle smile and waved, while the group smiled warmly and waved back while Mise and Octavia welcomed her to Canterlot as Starlight thanked them.

The two were walking with the group a bit as Mike stopped Sunset and reached into his pouch, taking out a handful of something, counting out a little as he placed in her hand a few things that felt a little odd, slowly opening her hand to find twelve bullets in her hand, three of ice, fire, electricity and what looked to be a sleeping agent.

Sunset looked at them oddly then towards Mike as he poured the rest back into his pouch "If you, Twilight and your friends still want a trade, this will be the starting point for it." He explained with Sunset nodding and placing the bullets into her pocket as Starlight was looking at them oddly while Sunset turned to her and explained "Oh! Right, uh… Well, remember when I said when there was some interesting people visiting Canterlot?" She asked while Starlight nodded

"Well… Mike and his friends here are… well, aliens." Sunset explained, while Starlight looked like she was shutting down mentally with Mike gently waving his hand in front of her face, before she quickly grabbed him and shook him violently "YOU'RE AN ALIEN?!" Starlight screamed soon dropping him "Oh my Celestia! What do I tell Twilight? What do I do? Oh sweet Celestia this could be bad if I mess up!" Starlight nearly broke down in fear, while Sunset gently shook her "Starlight! Calm down please, Mike and his friends are really kind and they would never hurt anyone unless in self defense, right?" She asked with the group smiling and nodding, giving small voices of agreeance.

This made Sunset smile happily "See? There really kind people. Now come on, let's go find my friends, they should be around here somewhere." Sunset had said walking away with Starlight as she waved goodbye to the group, they waved back and went along their way to a clothing store as Octavia turned to Mise "Alright, now you pick out some clothing so we can get you out of your old chef uniform." She said to Mise as he slowly nodded, walking to a rack then turned to the rest of the group with a soft smile

"And you can all grab some extra clothes, whatever you like really. We are paying for it, so don't worry okay?" She asked with a soft, warm smile as the group nodded and began to pick a few things out, choosing a few things here and there of clothing to wear they could use while Mise grabbed a few pieces of clothing, soon running into a changing booth.

The group looked at this with odd looks, until Mise soon walked out wearing a familiar pair of dark denim jeans, a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his biceps, a green tweed waistcoat and a flat cap to match as he was gently adjusting his sleeves a little turning towards the group "So… What do you guys think?" He asked with Octavia being the first to speak "You look oddly like your old pictures from when you were kid...and i'm not sure how I feel about that because...well, you know…" Octavia said as she blushed a little and bit her lower lip, causing Mise grow red in the face himself.

The group looked at the two oddly while Mike just spoke "You just look like this guy we met back on earth from Ireland, he was pretty cool and bought us beer or Guinness I think it's called." Mike mused while Izzy giggled "Oh yeah! The mentally disturbed drunken farmers!" Izzy called happily making the group burst into laughter at the memory while Angel just giggled a little, learning about it as Mise spoke.

"In all irony, she's not wrong." Mise admitted with a bit of a smile with the group mulling the thought over while Wave spoke "Well I think it's a nice outfit. Plus, Mike is right you do look like him and a friend of ours is interested in finding a guy like you Mise, though she is sad you're taken, but she's also really shy." Wave giggled with everyone looking towards her until Moon, Izzy and Crystal remembered and gave a small 'Ohh' before giggling madly. The three looked at the group then at each other while Mike spoke.

"Don't look at me, I have no idea what's going on." He said holding his hands up defensively while the two shrugged and nodded in understandment going back to getting some clothing from the racks. The group soon walked over to the register setting the clothing down with the clerk scanning the tags, gently bagging them up and handing them to the group with Mise pulling his credit card out of his wallet, as he handed it to the man while his coworker handed the bags to the group.

They thanked the man and woman while taking their bags, walking out of the store "There, now we have some extra clothes and Mise cleans up really nicely when he is not wearing his chef uniform." Octavia had said, gently kissing his cheek making him blush a little but with a warm smile. The group smiled softly at the scene before them soon walking along in the area's exploring what the large mall had in store for them, Mise was walking around a bit till he stopped at the directory looking at the stores, he looked towards the you are here picture slowly looking up.

"Kohl's, Staples, Dick's… sounds painful." Mise said with a small hint of catnip in his breath, making the group look towards him "Dude… that's just fucking weird… and painful." Mike admitted with the girls nodding "Where did you see that Mise?" Moon asked with him pointing to the directory. The group walked over and looked to find that it was three stores next to each other soon sighing as Angel spoke "Who ever designed this place could have arranged that better." She admitted with the group nodding in agreeance and walking from it.

"So what should we do now? We got what we came for, maybe we could all look around a little more, I mean we still have plenty of time." Octavia suggested to the group, with everyone soon nodding in agreeance at the idea, looking over the directory while Izzy giggled happily seeing a candy shop soon running off as Moon followed behind her sister, but also to the music shop next door to it.

The group slowly split up as Mise was dragging Mike to a sporting goods store while Octavia lead Crystal to the jewelry store, Wave and Angel were walking to a novelty/gift store as Wave saw a fountain that caught her eye while Angel decided to grab a few posters. Mike and Mise entered the Dick's sporting good with Mise snickering loudly "There's so many balls in this store!" He laughed happily while Mike sighed "Dude, really?" He asked with Mise looking at him "Dude, what did you expect when you take me to a sporty goods store?" Mise asked with a wide smile as Mike looked at him with a deadpan look

"You're the one who dragged me here." He said while Mise snickered. "I know, now come on let's go see what kind of stuff they have here." Mise said walking around the large store while Mike let a sigh escape his lips "God… please give me strength…" He pleaded to the lord and followed Mise deeper into the store, while Mise was exploring he gotten a smart idea or what he thought was a smart idea grabbing a container of baseballs and a baseball bat waiting for Mike. Mike was walking down the rows and gently humming to himself

"Driving around London, on my moped… something, something… Ahh shit I forgot the rest…" He said out loud as Mise jumped out from one of the shelfs and pointing that bat at Mike "Prepare yourself!" He yelled as Mike quickly spun around and summoning his staff from his bracelet, quickly extending it and giving it a quick spin holding it behind his back.

Mise smiled happily at this soon tossing a baseball into the air and hit it, giving a loud crack off the wood with the ball whizzing towards Mike while he spun his staff and countering it, making it fly back towards Mise who hit it again, the two hit the baseball back and forth like a game of hot potato until Mise hit the ball extremely hard, whizzing fast through the sky nearly peeling through the air with Mike spinning his staff extremely fast when the metal soon connected with the ball with full force and strength behind it, launching it over Mise's head through the sporting good's store and through the mall as it shattered the large window of the clothing store across from them and smashed the head of a mannequin.

The two stared at this when Mise broke out into laughter and cheered "Wooow! Fifteen points!" Mise cheered with everyone looking where it happened and at the department across the way while Mike quickly put his staff back into his bracelet and dragging Mise away into another part of the store into the sporting goods area.

Mise continued to laugh while Mike leaned against the glass case with his arms crossed across his chest "You quite done?" He asked with Mise holding up his hand with his pointing finger extended, while his other arm was wrapped around the barrel of his stomach while he laughed "N-Not yet!" He laughed while Mike let a sigh out 'I just hope everyone else is having a better time…' Mike thought to himself.

Over with Izzy and Moon when they left the candy store with Izzy munching happily on a candy bar in her mouth with a large bag of candy in her arms, Moon looked at her but couldn't help but smile at her sister's antics while they walked into the music store looking around the semi-large store filled with many kinds of instruments, racks filled with CD's, records and many kinds of music books making Moon feel right at home when she walked over to the music books and CD's and picked up a few, looking over the many items in her hands.

She gently set the books and CD's down and gently picked up a guitar with an amp, smiling softly to herself she plugged the amp in then the guitar itself, gently strumming the strings and tuning them with a soft, warm smile slowly forming upon her face as she got the strings at the right tune she wanted.

Moon let her fingers gently run over the strings on the neck, gently plucking the strings hearing the sweet sounds from the amp waving from the speaker inside the amp, she continued to pluck the strings just thinking to herself but soon stopped as she turned to Izzy who was smiling happily and sitting behind a drum set making Moon giggle a little.

The two soon gotten an idea to practice some music on the instruments, playing just only notes and no songs but still had fun practicing. With Octavia and Crystal they were looking over a few necklaces, earrings and rings "So many beautiful necklaces." Crystal had said while Octavia giggled softly

"That's very true, and they always have new jewelry freshly made nearly every day." She explained making Crystal giggle a little "That's pretty cool." Crystal had said, looking over the necklaces soon stopping upon a silver one that had a large emerald crystal while Octavia saw the same one "That one looks really nice, it would look really nice on you." She said to Crystal, making her giggle a little with a soft hint of a blush.

"T-Thank you… I just wonder what Mike would think." Crystal spoke, thinking a little out loud while Octavia giggled softly "I think he would agree, cause I know for a fact he loves you for who you are and would love to see that on you." Octavia said to Crystal, getting the necklace out of the case and gently wrapping it around Crystal's neck, closing the latch as she smiled happily "There we go, check yourself at the mirror." Octavia suggested while Crystal nodded. Crystal walked over to the little mirror stand and looked herself over as she gently gasped, seeing the necklace

"It looks… I-I don't know… It just looks really nice." Crystal tried to say as Octavia giggled "I agree as well, maybe we should get a few more for everyone maybe even pick one out for Mike, while I pick one out for Mise." Octavia had said making Crystal smile and nod at the idea with the two picking out a few more necklaces. Changing the program over to Wave and Angel as they were walking around the store with Angel holding a dozen posters in her arms, and Wave was carrying a few boxes that had a fontain, sharpening stones, a few rolls of fabric and a statue while keeping an eye on Angel "I still can't believe you were foaming at the mouth again, you really need to stop having so many fangasms." Wave said while Angel blushed and wiped the last of the drool from her mouth "Sorry… it's just, this is so cool! I got new editions of posters from this place, and of Countess Coloratura!" Angel squealed happily, making Wave giggle and roll her eyes with a smile, walking over to the counter and spoke to the clerk. While she was talking to the clerk, Mise and Mike walked in after they were done in the sporting good's store "Dude… I still can't believe you yelled at nearly everyone in the store holding your I.D up yelling have you seen this man? Then threatening to kick their asses of an ass kicking they can not prepare for." Mike groaned while Mise snickered "Yeah… it was awesome." He smiled happily while Mike just groaned looking over to see Wave and Angel.

"Hey you two, find anything you both like?" Mike asked with the two nodding, Wave and Angel nodded with warm smiles "Yeah, we found some cool stuff. As well people thought Angel had rabies." Wave giggled as Angel blushed in embarrassment, making Mike chuckle softly. "Aww, I think that's sweet and funny." He said making Angel blush even deeper, while Mike gave a hearty chuckle and pulled Angel into a hug "Aww, i'm just kidding Angel. I'm just glad that you're alright." He said with a warm smile, Angel blushed a little deeper slowly hugging Mike back, soon being held close making her blush grow even deeper slowly nuzzling her face into Mike's chest when she heard Wave and Mise snicker, trying to hide face from embarrassment. Mise and Wave snickered softly at the scene while Mise paid the clerk for the items and walking out with Wave "You two going to join or should we get you two later?" Mise called out to them, making them blush a little deeper soon breaking apart and making their way out of the store and following Wave and Mise.

The group started to slowly form back together with Octavia and Crystal getting Izzy and Moon from the music store as they were carrying a few large bags with boxes, the group soon met up in the main area when Mise noticed Octavia wearing a silver octave clef note necklace "I see you got yourself some new jewelry, it looks perfect on you sweetie." Mise said making Octavia blush softly, but smile warmly as she kissed her husband upon the lips "Aww, thanks honey. And I got you something as well, that I think you might really like." Octavia said taking out a silver Celtic knot necklace from the bag she had. Mike saw Crystal's necklace as he smiled warmly "Sweetie, that's looks really beautiful on you." He said making Crystal blush "T-Thanks Mike… I-I didn't know if you think it would look nice or not." Crystal had said, making Mike smile softly and gently kiss her cheek.

"It's lovely, and don't let anyone say otherwise." He told her making her nod a little while holding up the bag "A-Also, we got one for everyone." She said handing out the necklaces with Octavia as everyone looked towards the necklaces they were given.

Mike was the first to look finding it was a silver sword behind a shield while something small was engraved on the bottom 'Ad Victorian' it read, making him smile softly and thanking the two for it as after him was Wave soon to find hers a sterling silver conch shell inlaid with opal gems near the top in the riples. Wave smiled happily seeing this with gentle tears slowly forming

"Awww… thank you sis, this is really sweet." Wave had said with her smile, gently wiping her eyes making Crystal smile warmly. Angel slowly opened her hand to find a mother of pearl angel pendant as the pearl made of the main pendant and the wings of silver, but what took her by surprise was a smaller pendant with wings that dangled from it

"When you have a daughter, and she is born you can give her that. It's like a mother daughter pendant." Octavia explained, both making Angel blush deeply but tear up happily as she couldn't speak any words but they knew she was grateful for it. Last was Izzy and Moon when they slowly opened their hands, Izzy found a malachite gem pendant with the design of gold of the tree of life "I… I don't know what to say…" Izzy was dumbfounded and trying to speak when Crystal spoke up.

"We are all like a huge family, and we all thought it would be nice to show care in the family, you know?" Crystal said where Mike could see where she was going with this and smiling "It's another way of saying we are ohana." He said gently placing his hand on Izzy and Crystal's shoulders while Octavia spoke after him "Ohana means family and family means-" She said until she was cut off by Mise "I AM OCTOHEAD!" He screamed as Octavia sighed and smacked Mise upside the head

"No… it means noone gets left behind. Meaning we are all a big family, and we look after each other." Octavia explained with everyone nodding with warm smiles, making Izzy smile happily. Moon opened hers to find a silver sapphire pendant with a treble clef laid over it, she smiled happily and put the necklace one as did the rest of the group but something was nagging on Mike's mind "Is these, the only ones?" He asked with Octavia nodding

"Yes, we thought we could just get one for everyone." She said while Mike nodded a little, soon getting an idea as he quickly walked into the jewelry store. The group watched this and looked at each other, not really sure what was going on as Mike soon walked out with a small bag, quickly putting it into his bracelet "Sorry about that… anyone got any more ideas on where we can go?" He asked with most of the group thinking a little when Mise saw something that caught his eye and smiled "I know somewhere we can go." He said with the group looking towards him, then where he was looking to see it was a tattoo parlor.

Everyone look towards Mise "Uh Mise…? Why would you want to go to a tattoo parlor?" Wave asked as he smiled "Well, it would be interesting plus I wanted to get a little more work done before we left, not to mention it's a piercing parlor so you can get any piercing done." Mise explained with the group looking at each other thinking a little, but soon slowly nodded "Alright… we'll do it." Mike said with everyone agreeing. Mise smiled happily and lead the group inside as he walked to the artist reading a magazine behind the counter and spoke to him "Hey my man, I'd like to get some work done today." Mise said as the guy nodded

"Sure thing dude, what are we going to have done today?" He asked as Mise got on the bench and took off his shirt, revealing his chest tattoos but also a large, elaborately detailed Celtic cross tattoo covering a large majority of his back and the equation '26 + 6 = 1' embedded in the middle with the words 'Tiocfaidh ár lá.' and 'Erin Go Bragh' along the top and bottom of it that group had never noticed before "I'm thinking of some Celtic knot sleeves that wrap around my two chest tattoos and continue down the front of my torso." Mise said as the artist nodded and began sketching out the base of the tattoo.

The group saw the large tattoo on Mise's back nearly recoiling at what kind of pain it could have caused "Holy shit man… that must have really hurt." Mike admitted with Angel speaking up also "Y-Yeah… D-Does it still hurt?" She asked with Mise shaking his head "Not at all, I got this tattoo about five years ago. It hurt like hell for a while, but not anymore." He admitted with them nodding a little as the artist turned to the group "So… anyone else want a tattoo also?" He asked with most of the group declining while Mike started to think "Maybe… I will have to think about it, not really sure yet." He shrugged with the artist nodding while Wave suggested "Maybe, we could all get a new set of piercings." She suggested with the group nodding while Mise just chuckled watching on.

While the girls were looking at earrings to wear Mike looked over to see two pairs of black steel hooped earrings, he gently picked it up as a woman walked out "You must be the people my husband told me about, are you all getting ear piercings today?" She asked with the group nodding with the woman nodding and wiping a seat "Alright, whenever anyone is ready come up and sit down on the seat and I will get your piercings done." She said with the group nodding with each, one by one getting their piercings done but Mike's mind had other thoughts that he needed to accomplish.
