	I'm sure by now you guys know of me getting my ass handed to me, well my troubles got a lot worse after that.  After hitting that clock tower, I remained unconscious for a while.  Finally I was woken up inside of a prison with purple glowing bars.  It didn't take much imagination to figure out what this was.  A cage for me.  The monster.

Soon the ponies that held me here talked about a trial to happen immediately in the Ponyville courtroom.  





Unfortunately there was a trial.  Although even I see that there is ultimately no need.  The trial was strangely held by a unicorn, identified with the horn she had, and with wings, like a pegasus.  She just appeared out of thin air.  Strangely she was accompanied by someone that looked familiar, but I couldn't quite recognize.  The trial commenced.  Right from  the beginning I knew that I had no hope.  Every witness confirmed that I was the culprit.  After all, who could miss a giant monster turtle? 

Apparently some of these ponies were quite popular, from the gasps that came from the jury.  Especially a pony named Rainbow Dash.  Who I think I sent her through a wall, multiple times.  

Finally came the end of the trial, it didn't take the jury long to decide my verdict.  Guilty.  The punishment, however was not as bad as would have been expected for destroying a part of a town.  However the majority of the punishment came from attempted murder of a town's inhabitants.  I was to be imprisoned for 20 years.  Which I was still shocked by.  Apparently a pony in the audience was equally shocked and wanted to change this.  By killing me.

He screamed out, "NO!  This is not justice!  For his crimes he deserves far worse."  The pony was covered in tan fur and had a chestnut mane of hair.  Quickly jumping from his seat, he started to run towards my cage.  I found out he was a unicorn quickly when he fired a spell at my cage, releasing the bars.  He bolted past the guards, and they finally took action.  The stallion fired another shot at me.

I saw a bright green light as the spell hit me.   Soon finding myself on my back, as I strove to not fall into the abyss.





I awoke with a start and instantly leaned upwards, surveying where I was.  The infinite plains laid out before me.  Calmness inside myself and all around.  A shuffle in the grass indicated that someone was sitting next to me.  Looking over I saw a bright blue mare right next to me.  She looked at me quietly.  I looked at her for a while before finally speaking, "Who are you? Where am I?"  

She stared intently at me before finally responding, "You are in a part of your mind.  I am your...helper.  I make sure that your human mind, and the mind of the beast Bowser do not conflict."  I stared at her wondering if she was serious.

When she didn't make any notion that she was joking I decided to ask another question, "Why am I here?"  

She looked at me with an almost sad expression, "Because sometime soon, you're going to die."  This news hit me hard.  I got up and marched away from her trying to make sure that what I heard was correct.  "Do not worry Barry, you will not die right now, but you will have to save someone else, which will in turn end you."  I sat down on the grass and felt her rest a hand on my shoulder.  "There is a way that you can live on, but you have to do an extraordinary act.  Most importantly, you will not be the same."  

I looked at her for the longest of time, "What do I have to do?"
