The day went by quietly. Silver's migraines didn't get better but they started getting farther between. And Tiber was a huge help, when he wasn't kissing her nicked ear. She had to constantly shove him away and force him to go back to work; which he didn't. It was getting on her nerves. The day passed slowly for Silver. She was more than happy that she didn’t have to do anything with the gauntlet now. She could just get out at the normal time. The sun was just starting to set when Autumn Spark and Fixette punched out. Tiber was suppose to be right behind them, but he insisted on staying to, make sure he'd done something right.

Silver didn't bother forcing him out, he was too sweet to throw out. Silver say back in her office doing her best to fix some cellist's tuning fork. How does one simply warp a tuning fork? Silver didn't care, she liked a challenge. It took some spot welding and reinforcement for it to play in the right key. Silver put the tuning fork into the box the mare brought it in. Silver sighed as another minor migraine started to seep into her skull. She reached for her thermos to try and take some of the pressure off, but she remembered she drank that last of her tea at lunch. Tiber walked in just as Silver was putting up her tools for the night.

"Hey sweaty, how you doin'?" He asked leaning up against her.

"Fine. And don't call me that."

"You want me to use that spell?"

"No. I should be fine until we get home."

"You sure? Migraines suck."

"I'm fine." Silver giggled leading Tiber out of her office. "Ya know, I thought you were an earth pony for the longest time."

"Did you now?" Tiber said sounding a bit suspicious.

"Yeah. Weird right? Anyways, let's get home."

"Gladly." Tiber said leader her out of her office.

Though, about halfway across the shop floor, something clicked in her head. "Oh! I forgot to put out the furnaces. You know how to put them out; I'll handle the one in my office." Silver said trotting back towards her office.

"Silver wait!" Tiber shouted after her as she walked into her unlocked office. Silver turned to stone almost instantly. The strangest black pony was standing in front of her safe. Its mane didn't look like a mane; more like some kind of fish tail. Its eyes were a glazed blue all the way across. Its deformed legs, horn and insect wings gave Silver Bit shivers. The insect pony hissed and bared its fangs at her.

That snapped her out of her shock quickly. She tried to turn and run to her gun rack, but Tiber was blocking the door with a stone cold stare.

"Tiber! Move, move!" Silver said trying to shove her way past.

Tiber wrapped his forelegs around her and squeezed tightly, holding her in place. Tiber's horn glowed dark green and a small slip of paper hovered over to the insect pony. Silver knew instantly what the paper was.

"What are you doing? That's the combination!"

"I'm fully aware. My brother will take what we want then you don't have to see us again." Tiber said his voice sounding somewhat distorted.

"What are you talking about? Let me go! AH!" A migraine suddenly shot over her.

A memory of that first night with Tiber came back to her. His mane was smooth, soft, nothing in the way. He wasn't a unicorn… Something was up.

"Who are you and what have you done with Tiber?!"

"You shall find out when you meet your Goddess." The fake Tiber hissed.

"You bustards!" Silver cried in rage.

There was a magical flash from her right and a bolt of magic through the fake Tiber's skull. Green plasma came from the wound instead of red blood. With the grip on her now nonexistent, Silver charged the creature in front of her just as he opened the safe. She reached into the safe and put her hoof through the gauntlet. She felt a light static shock as the gauntlet magically connected to her nerves. She felt her anger and rage flow through her as the blade popped out of the gauntlet with the sound of metal on metal. She brought her foreleg back and plunged the blade into the creature's head. She didn't stop there; she repeatedly stabbed the blade into the insect pony's eyes, neck, chest; she didn't know how many times she just knew that she kept doing it. After what felt like an eternity, somepony grabbed her right foreleg and kept her from stabbing it again.

She fought back. Whoever was holding her back undid the clamps on her foreleg and put their forelegs around her. This wasn't like when she was being held back by "Tiber". It was more like she was being comforted.

"Ma'am, calm down. You're okay." the stallion shouted holding her back.

"You fucking bastard! Let me go so I can end these fuckers!"

"Ma'am. I'm with Captain Nexus. You're safe now."

"No, I'm going to kill them. I'm going to kill all of those fucking things!"

"Ma'am!" the stallion holding her turned her around and slapped her across the face. "Get a hold of yourself!"

Silver stopped cold and let the situation set it. Her boyfriend was gone, her shop had just been broken into again and she had just killed something. She looked behind the stallion and saw an insect pony where Tiber used to be. Silver was hating this now. She was calming down and the sadness was setting in, the reality. Silver could feel the tears welling up in her eyes as all of her thoughts became clear with another massive migraine. Silver lowered her head and sobbed in both remorse and pain.
