Henry woke up to find he was in some sort of hospital bed, but he felt the movement of a boat underneath him. As he opened his eyes, he saw a woman above him, monitoring his condition. he sat up and put a hand to his head, but noticed his hand wasn't the same. It was robotic, and so was his torso. He began to panic as he wondered where he was.

"Hey, easy, easy!" the woman said to calm him down, "You were gone for a bit. I was able to bring you back to life. I specialize in military grade augmentations. I was force to replace spine and left arm. As some of damage you sustained was beyond repairing."

Henry looked up and down at his new body as he slowly remembered what happened before he blacked out. Him being locked up at The Wall, him calling Reginald and the Toppats for rescue, him making it to the airship and Reginald catching him, Reginald dropping him in the ocean without Dash coming to rescue him.

Why hadn't Dash rescued him? Did Reginald do something to prevent her from doing so? As he wondered, rage was building in his mind. Why had Reginald done what he did? Henry felt betrayed, he never should've trusted Reginald to rescue him. The woman managed to catch on to what Henry was thinking and continued to speak.

"You had run-in with Toppat Clan, Дa?" she asked, "I have encountered them before."

Henry then got up from the bed and ran to the door, finding water all around him, confirming his suspicions that he was on a boat. The woman took notice of this and told him not to overwork himself.

"Easy, you're still healing." she said.

Henry walked up to the railing and wondered where the Toppats went. The woman could sense this and answered for him.

"They went South, if you are wondering. About ten hours ago."

Henry then realized his new upgrades were cybernetics, meaning he had new abilities that allowed him to do thing he wasn't able to do before. Given the info the woman gave him about the Toppats, he decided to try it out for himself. he successfully managed to summon a pair of wings and boosters on his back, allowing him to fly.

"Wow! You are learning so quickly!" the woman commented about Henry's fast learning about his upgrades.

Then, with his rage taking over him, his sights on taking down his former allies, and rescuing Dash, Henry shot into the air and made his way to the airship. The woman wished him luck on his mission and went back to work.





A few minutes later in the airship, Reginald was talking to someone about their plans for launching an orbital station into space to get away from the government, however, he was interrupted when he saw something coming at the window at high speeds. He didn't have time to duck when it came crashing through the window and landing right on top of him. He looked up to see it was Henry and wondered how he was alive. His partner noticed and sent a robotic hand toward Henry to get him off of Reginald, and it returned to him seconds later.

"Take him out, Right Hand Man!" Reginald demanded as he hastily made his escape.

Henry realized Right Hand Man had changed from when he killed him right before Henry took over the Toppats. Now he knew what that woman meant by she had encountered that Toppats before, she also gave Right HandMan his own cybernetics, but they seemed to be a little more powerful than his own, and he certainly wasn't gonna go down without a fight.

"Time for a li'l payback," Right Hand Man said as they both had a staredown before the biggest fight Henry might have in his life.

Blade Forme
Gun Forme
Spirit Forme

Henry considered the gun but thought about the fact he was still learning the ins and outs of his new abilities, while Right Hand Man might've had plenty of time to learn his. He didn't understand where the spirit came from, so that was a no. He thought about the blade and thought about if Right Hand Man had his own weapons, including a blade of his own, so he went with that.

Spirit Forme

As Henry readied for battle, he transformed his cybernetic hand into a sword. Right Hand Man noticed and transformed his cybernetic hand into a sword of his own, however, it was bigger than Henry's. Henry didn't care though as he let out a battle cry and the fight began.

He continued to land significant blows to Right Hand Man, and he always managed to dodge or block most of them. A few seconds into the fight, Henry's sword gets stuck around Right Hand Man's neck. Right Hand Man chuckled as he grabbed it and threw Henry to the ground and hit him with his sword. Henry bounced back for a few meters before leaning back right below the window he crashed into. As Right Hand Man saw his opponent weakened, he charged up his cybernetic legs, charged at Henry, and crashed into him, sending him flying out of the airship. He then transformed his legs into a booster, allowing him to fly, and disappeared. Henry regained his composure and looked for Right Hand Man before suddenly being swept upwards by him.

"Time to finish you off," Right Hand Man stated before using his sword to launch Henry farther into the air.

Then they both charged at each other, Right Hand Man using his booster while Henry fell towards him. Once they made contact, Henry shoved his sword into Right Hand Man's robotic eye, breaking it off from his hand. Right Hand Man stayed there stunned for a few seconds before falling back down to the airship.

Henry landed safely on top of the airship and looked at his robotic hand. His sword was broken off, but it didn't matter to him as he could still regenerate his normal hand. As he looked up, he saw Right Hand Man crash in front of him and use his sword to slow his momentum. He transformed his sword back into his normal hand and glared at Henry. He pulled the broken sword out of his now broken robotic eye and threw it it the floor.

"You..." Right Hand Man said angrily, "You... I'm gonna delete you!"

He used his robotic hand to begin charging up a blast with a red hue around it, and he was going to make it huge. Henry wouldn't be able to dodge it, so he needed to come up with a way to get rid of it and counter it.

Absorb
Baseball Bat
Y-Type Move

He thought about absorbing the blast, but realized it might be little too much for him to handle. The baseball bat didn't make sense to him, the blast would just go right through it and hit Henry anyway. However, with the last option, he did have a blast of his own and wanted to try it out.

Henry turned his robotic arm back to a normal hand and jumped high up, then began to create his own blast with a green aura surrounding it. Once it was ready, he shot it to where he was standing before while Right Hand Man also shot his blast. However, Right Hand Man's didn't stand a chance against Henry's as it went through and made it disappear. Once Henry's blast came into contact with the airship, it began to grow in size as it began to envelop the entire front of the airship. Right Hand Man was enveloped as well, turning his body completely into ash. Once the blast subsided, Henry found Right Hand Man's remains, and roundhouse kicked to end the fight.

Now with him out of the way, Henry was about to find Reginald when he suddenly remembered about Dash. He noticed the airship begin to come crashing down, so he had to find her fast. His first place to check was the brig, as Reginald would've most likely brought her there.





Rainbow Dash was a mess of emotions. She felt betrayed, sad, rage, and worried for Henry. She had tried to buck open the door to her cell several times before realizing it was no use. She had tried to be strong for as long as she could, but waiting there alone was making her lonely. She was trapped once before when she first met Starlight, but she and her friends were sent there and she wasn't all alone. This felt different, being trapped in a small room with nobody to talk to.

While she was lying on her stomach thinking about Henry and her friends, the airship suddenly started to quake. She at first assumed it was turbulence, but then felt it begin to descend. Her mind instantly realized that the airship was going to crash and began to panic. She banged on the cell door repeatedly and called for help until she saw someone out the door. They told her to stand back while they blasted the cell door open. Dash looked to see who her savior was and gasped.

It was Henry, but with brand new abilities she never thought possible with these people from this dimension. His left arm and torso were robotic as well.

"HENRY! THANK CELESTIA YOU'RE ALRIGHT! I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU!" she exclaimed as she hugged him tightly.

"I'm glad you're ok too," Henry said as he returned the hug, "a woman on a boat said I had died and gave me these new cybernetics to bring me back. I instantly flew here with my new upgrades to find you and make Reginald pay for what he's done."

Dash smiled at that, then asked, "What about us crashing?"

"I had a fight with the guy we took out before taking over the Toppats. Turns out the same woman I mentioned earlier also gave him some upgrades. But I managed to take him down, and unintentionally making the airship begin to crash."

Dash rolled her eyes at that.

"But enough talk, want to make Reginald pay with me?"

"Say no more!"

Then they both made their way to the cockpit where Reginald had run off. He looked at the control panel and saw the airship crashing down fast. The front window had also been shattered from Henry's blast.

"No! We're losing altitude!" he said to himself, "I've gotta get out of here!"

Then he heard two figures land behind them. He turned around to see Henry and Dash glaring at him. He pulled out a pistol and tried to shoot Henry, but Henry was quicker as he grabbed the gun and pushed it away from him just as Reginald fired. Henry then pushed the gun away from him as Reginald struggled to aim again, and eventually spoke.

"No! What are you going to do?"

Henry and Dash had to come up with a smart way to get rid of him without it possibly backfiring on them.

Airship
Drop
Staple

As much as Henry wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine by dropping him, he knew Reginald's hat had certain abilities that would save him. Dash wanted to fly him over to the upcoming orbital station but realized they would also be in the crash zone. However, Henry could use his robotic hand and shoot Reginald at the wall, pinning him in place.

Henry grabbed Reginald's torso, turned around, and shot him at the wall. His robotic hand then materialized as Reginald struggled to break free. As realization struck him, he turned to look at Henry and spoke.

"So that's it then. You're just going to leave me here to go down with the ship?"

Henry confirmed it as he gave a cocky salute to him and Dash stuck her tongue out. However, as the two of them were about to fly off, Reginald pulled out another pistol from this hat and shot Henry in the back, rendering his cybernetics useless, then quickly shot Dash's wing. Dash let out a grunt of pain as she fell over, her wing now heavily bleeding and lying limp by her side. Reginald smiled deviously as he spoke to the pair.

"Looks like we'll be sharing this last ride together!"

Reginald cackled maniacally as the pair watched as the airship came closer and closer to the base. They looked at each other and braced for impact.





After the crash, the pair woke up from being knocked unconscious. They saw debris and fire all around them, and spotted Reginald in front of them. He coughed as he recovered from the crash and spoke his final words.

"Well... You got us... *cough* Was it... worth it?"

Then his body went limp, finally putting an end to this madness.

"Yeah... it was..." Dash replied while struggling to stand.

Henry tried to get up as well, but his damaged cybernetics made it difficult for him. He managed to find a nearby stick and used it to help hold himself up. As they walked away from the wreckage, Henry's condition continued to get worse. Turns out Reginald shot a vital part of the circuitry in the cybernetics, and it was so heavily damaged by the bullet that it slowly began to shut down.

When they got to a point where Henry couldn't take it anymore, Dash laid down next to a rock and Henry leaned up against it. Dash took a moment to catch her breath and look at her injured wing. It looked like it was clipped, and blood was all over the feathers. She knew she wouldn't be able to fly while she waited for the wound to heal. After catching her breath and examining her wounds, she called to Henry.

"Henry, what are we gonna do? We're on our own."

However, she got no response.

"Henry?" she asked again with worry in her voice.

No response.

She got a closer look at him and saw he was giving a dead stare at the sky with his mouth hanging open. She nudged Henry to the side to get him to respond, but he never did. She continued to shout his name as she tried to get him to react and eventually broke down in tears as she gave up, declaring in her mind he was dead.

A few minutes went by, and she heard the sounds of helicopters flying in the direction of the wreckage. They had figured out about it and went to see if there were any casualties. Dash called out to them and one noticed and made its way down.

When they landed, a few soldiers ran out as well as a girl with light pink hair and cyan headphones, who appeared to be the pilot. She ran over and told her comrades that they found out they were the ones who betrayed them and joined the Toppats.

"We should leave them there and make them think about what they've done," one soldier said.

"No!" the girl said, "let's hear them out."

Dash was touched by this and explained everything that happened. The girl was surprised by this as well as some of the soldiers. They decided to take both Dash and Henry's body to the government base and get them treated.

"This is Amy Stickson reporting to base," the pilot said through her headphones, "I've got two former Toppats that seem to be the ones responsible for the wreckage. They were betrayed by the former leader. My team and I are taking them to base to get treated for their injuries."

Dash felt grateful for the girl's kindness as she smiled and was brought inside the Helicopter along with Henry's body. She and Henry were given a second chance, and she was very happy about that.
