"FUCKING HELL!!!!" Star gallops with Ashley right behind him and Crinis panicking a bit while flying above them as they run from a strange Entity that seemed to have just appeared next to them.

"WHAT IS THAT THING!??! IS IT A GHOST?!" Ashley grabs Star and Crinis and leaps behind cover,hopping they are far enough for it to just pass them.

Star begins to think and look at his pip-buck,turning it off to make it so their all harder to see in the darkness of the night and he and Ashley both suddenly hold their breaths as Crinis freezes in place as a Tall pony shaped creature towers above the rough stone they hide behind,a corrosive ooze slowly ejecting itself from its skin,its fur not being able to be seen and only one eye showing from the cracked and broken piece of its mask.

"...Where...did...they...go?" A deep yet hallow voice slowly whispers out,making the air cold as it leans in,showing its drama-tragedy mask that has its upper left part missing as if it was shot earlier.

As the pony blinks a few times it seems to start melting the grown then plummets under ground and the corrosive goo starts spreading and moving away as if its still moving under the ground.

"W-what was that?" Ashley hesitantly peeks her head out as Star dust looks down at his pip buck.

"...A...Hamlet...its a Hamlet." Star finds the name in the pip buck's data banks and he himself starts questioning how in Equeastria do pip buck's know all these things before he does.

"Huh,fitting name,especially due to the mask." Ashley pants and gets up,fixing her battle saddle. "Is it kill-able? it actually looked sort of solid for a mo- where the hell is Crinis?"

"I am currently being frightened shit less." Crinis is still half frozen and shaking in the air. "Ether that or it just made the air REALLY cold." Crinis lands and tries using friction to warm herself up.

The whole group's breaths start showing as a nearby puddle of goo from the creature starts getting iced over Just as Star starts noticing a faint gas emerging from it which shakily makes his eyes sigh smeared as Ashley's faint voice can be heard screaming in his ears as Star collapses on the cold,dry,icy floor.

Star found himself in darkness,unable to move,his muscles feeling dried and stiff,the air chilled in his head but certain parts felt warm and wet just as he sees himself in a mirror,his stable suite was clean,he was smiling,nothing seemed wrong and he wanted to smile back at its reflection...But the mirror cracked right down the middle,splitting him in half,one side happy,still from the stable,no blood on his hooves.

And the other:torn up,scowling at him,pained and crying with the blood of others splattered on him,the Stable's number torn off and Star's gun gripped in his mouth...As star saw this,he felt something remind him,he was slowly becoming part of the wasteland,something didn't want him to yet,he can't let the other half to be corrupted half get any worse...but how can he even stop it?

'Star?' As his name echoed through his head the mirror cracks again,but no other changes. 'Star,get up ya blue idiot.' The voice starts clearing up then it suddenly screams a paining loud screech through his skull that causes the mirror to shatter. "STAR,WAKE UP!!!!"

"GYAAAAHHHH!!!!" Star's eyes shoot open as he tries getting up but hits Starberry on the head,making him receive a glare for bonking her on the head.

"Do ah ALWAYS gotta save yer sorry plot?" Starberry seemed as healthy and alert as ever aside from her new bruise which she dabs with a wet cloth. "And this time,ya'll fainted...like a little frightened filly ah might add." She gives a small smirk at him.

Star dust just blinks for a moment before getting up in silence,examining the room,feeling like hes seen the set up before:medical table,bed,bedroom decorations,it resembled his Mother's clinic only without the stable add-ons. "Where are we? And why does this look so familiar?"

"Well...its a long story..." Starberry gives a chuckle. "Ya'll may wanna sit down."
