Brine and Dream walk on the outskirts of Detrot, talking.

"You need to change your clothes," said Brine. "They smell you know, like fire."

"Alright, but why don't you change yours," ask Dream. Brine spoke. "My clothes are special, they can wash and clean themselves. Never will figure it out."

"Let's try to get a room at a hotel," said Brine. "We're tall enough to pass as adults."

"Let's go!" yelled Dream.

The two enter the city, bearing wearily of their surroundings. Detrot was known as "Crime City" for a reason.

The two manage to find a decent hotel with good pricing, but the mare at the front desk noticed something.

"Are you two smaller then usual for your age," ask the Mare, getting looks from Dream with a glare, making her shut up.

"Ok then, sorry!" yelled the mare, as he handed the two colts the key.

The two colts talk to each other as they search for their room. "I think she was on to us," said Dream.

"We will have to leave then," said Brine as he ate some of the bread he had took earlier.

The two evenaulty founded their room and Brine suggest they both went to bed early later as they would have to scam out of their the next morning.

"Ok, so what are we going to do?" said Dream as he wash his face in the bathroom.

"I think we should split up and see if we can find any foals that are willing to go with us," said Brine as he sharpen his sword.

"Alright, but I want to get some stuff at a shop on the way," said Dream as he dried his face with a towel.

"Then we don't have a moment to lose," said Brine as he teleported from the room. Dream sign. "He could have teleported me too."

After taking the stairs, Dream walk around the city, keeping his hood up to avoid ponies seeing his face. He knew if they saw his face, they would ask questions, which would doom them.

Dream look around. In front of him was a mask shop, something he could use to hid his face. Silently, he entered the shop.

It was full of masks of all types. Dream couldn't even tell them all. But one seemed, attracting to him.

He look at the mask. It wasn't anything special. It was a white circle, with a smile on it. It wasn't like the others, but it seem to want him.

He knew that somehow, and what mysterious force, the mask wanted him and he wanted it. It seemed to have, something.

He left the shop, with the mask on.

It felt weird at first to him, looking at his surroundings with it on, but it seem calm. He could show his face, without showing his face.

Dream walk the city streets as he look around, hopeing to see any foals, but he soon realize that they were all in school and won't be out until later.

That was, until he saw one.

He turned around and saw a colt ran into a nearby alley with a seemly angry gang of ponies chasing after him. Dream follow them silently close behind.

"We gave you a chance little freak," said one of the ponies, most likely the leader as two of them grab the colt and pulled him to the gang leader.

"And you sold us out, for a piece of bread!" yelled the gang leader as he smack the colt in the face, hard.

Dream got a good look at the colt. Same age as the others, though he seem a bit younger then him. Then he saw his eyes. They were pure white, unlike Brine's red and white color eyes.

"You have to pay for this, little one," said the gang leader as one of the members gave him a metal pipe, which to Dream's horror, used to smash it into the colt's head, dropping him to the ground, head bleeding.

Dream had enough of them tortureing the colt and jump out of his hiding spot and grabbing a metal crowbar and a trash lid. "Hey You! Fetch!"

Dream throw the trash lid at one of the gang members as they turned around as it struck him in the face, knocking him out cold.

"Hey kid! How are you!" yelled another as he was struck by Dream's crowbar, sending him into a nearby trash can in response.

Two more tried to pin down Dream, but before they could grab him, he suddenly gain a burst of power and he smash the gang members who were shock by the Earth colts sere strength,

"Who is this colt!?" yelled the gang members as they crash into a wall. "The name's Dream," said Dream as he smash the rest of the members, leaving only the gang leader left standing.

"You are so going to die and no one will find you AGAIN kid!" yelled the Leader as he charge at Dream with his pipe, swinging at Dream.

Dream was busy trying to dodge that he was knock aside by the Leader's left hoof, sending him back down the alley.

"Not so tough now huh?!" yelled the Gang Leader as he walk towards Dream, who was trying to get his crowbar. But before the gang leader could strike him, he felt a sudden pain as he fell to the ground dead.

"You ok?" said Brine, who had appeared behind the leader and killed him for Dream's safely, hold his hoof for Dream to grab.

Dream, after getting up, ran to the colt. He was a Pegasus, but he couldn't hear breathing, which only meant one thing.

"No no NO!" yelled Dream as he desperately tried to revive the colt, but it was no use. Dream begin to cry under his mask.

Brine look on, the sadness creping into his soul. There was a way, but he didn't want to do, but it was overwhelming.

"Come on Dream," said Brine as he pick up the colt and the two walk back to the hotel in silence.

Once the duo reach their room, Dream lock himself in the bathroom and refused to come out. Brine decided to mediate. He fell into his sleep, he couldn't help but feel the dread of the colt's passing.

He remembered what his old master had taught him once over his necromancy skills.

5 YEARS AGO:

"Remember what I taught you," said the Master Chief. "Now you try."

Brine hesitate. "I don't think I can," he said. "It seems like it's something I shouldn't do."

"Is this the same way like your obsidian powers?" ask the old Master Chief. Brine thought about that. He had always believe that his abilities were a curse.

But he realized that made him unqiue. This wasn't anything different.

PRESENT DAY:

Brine returned to the waking world with a mission. He was done avoiding it.

He would bring the colt back to life one way or the other.

Brine walk up to the colt. He was on the bed, head been bleeding from the beating from the metal pipe. Brine growled.

It wasn't fare. Detrot was so bad at well, anything, that crime was always present, corruption was high and more then enough foals were homeless or orphans.

Brine closed his eyes as he charged his spell. There was no going back now.

The entire building shook as Brine released his spell, no doubt alerting everyone else.

Brine opened his eyes, his horn smoking from the burst of powerful magic. He look at the colt. His wounds had healed.

The colt opened his eyes as he struggle to get up. He was in a strange room. A hotel, which was weird. He thought he had died in a alley.

"Hello," said a voice. The colt look up and saw Brine looking at him.

"Who are you?" ask the colt. "And why am I here? Am I dead." His white eyes glowed in Brine's presence.

"I brought you back to life," said Brine as Dream exited the bathroom. "What was that?.." Dream begin to ask as he saw the Pegasus sitting up on the bed.

"What did you do?" ask Dream, staring at the colt. "A bit of Necromancy," said Brine with a grin.

"Isn't that illegal to do?" ask the colt, who's eyes were on Dream. He remember seeing him in the alley, fighting the gang members.

"Not for me," said Brine. "Oh, I'm Brine and this is Dream." Dream waved his hoof at him.

"I don't have a name, but they just call me Herobrine," said the colt as he suddenly shock the bed with lighting.

"Whoa!" yelled Brine. "That's some powerful electrokinesis right there!"

"Sorry," said Herobrine as the electricity blots stop. "I can't control them. They just come and go for me."

"It's ok," said Brine. "I can train you both." "What to do you mean, both?" ask a confuse Dream.

"Your my friend," said Brine, turning his head to Dream. "I can train you in the arts. You will need it."

Suddenly there was a knock at the door, follow by a familiar voice. "Hey, it's the cops, let us in," said an officer on the other side.

Dream panic, while Herobrine look he was about to pass out. Brine knew this was bad as Dream pick up and shoved a dresser in front of the door.

"What are we going to do?!" cried Dream as Brine look to the large window. "We are going to jump," said Brine, getting the looks from the both of them.

"We are going to do what?!" yelled Dream as a axe came through the door. The officer had gotten a axe and was trying to get in.

"We are going to JUMP!" yelled Brine as he smash himself through the window and fell to the ground below, as the officer finished ripping the door apart.

"Alright, I'm not staying here," said Herobrine as he too, jump, with Dream shortly following behind.

The three colts land in a pool, completely drench, but alive. "Let's get out of here," said Brine as a spear throw pass his face.

The three turned and saw a group of police stallions with a familiar face among them.

"You're going to pay for this freaks!" yelled the Gangster as he pulled out a double edged sword, with the corrupted cops pulling out sticks and clubs.

"Corrupted cops," Herobrine growled. "Let me handled them." Dream look at him with concern.

"But..." Dream begin to speak, but Herobrine had begun to walk towards the group with a glare on his face, his hoofs charging with electricty.

"So the dead colt wants to fight us again," said the Gangster with a wicked smile on his face. "Do you not know what happened the last time?"

He wasn't able to finish his sentence as a massive blast of electricty struck him in the chest, killing the Gangster.

The cops looked at Herobrine, who's eyes were glowing more then ever now, his hoofs charged at their max level.

And he was going to unleash it all.

"Take this you dirty cops!" yelled Herobrine as he unleashed his energy buildup, striking the corrupt cops with deadly lethality.

"Ahh!" yelled the cops as they begin to crumple into dust. Few were still standing after his attack, many crumpling into dust.

The rest of the cops ran off, but one wasn't fast enough and was grab by Herobrine.

Herobrine flew upwards with the corrupted cop. After staring at him for a couple of minutes, he drop the cop, killing the corrupted officer.

Brine and Dream look on with shock in their eyes as Herobrine returned to the ground.

"Let's get out of here," said Herobrine. "I'm done with Detrot."

The three agree and Brine teleported them away, leaving behind several bodies in it's wake.
