“So Ironsides, I noticed what you said back there to get us in, what’s going on, what’s Mise up to?” night asked

“it think its best that Mise explain that, but I do know what’s going on and given that information I know exactly where Mise is.” Ironsides said as he led the group through the cellar and the false bookshelf

“this is a bookshelf, HUH, is Mise a wizard who accidentally turned himself into a magic spell book and the only way to turn him back is by opening up the book an-” pinkie said before getting cut off when rainbow dash put her hand over pinkie’s mouth

“uh, pinkie lets ironsides just take us to Mise, because I highly doubt he’s a wizard or a book.” Rainbow said as she uncovered pinkies mouth

Ironsides grabbed the side of the book shelf and slid it out of the way

Back with Mise

Mise had finished laying out what he called his “battle” plans and was now dressed in camo cargo pants, camo cargo jacket, a wide tan
leather belt around his waist and across his chest, black combat boots, black gloves, a black beret with a green, white and orange lily pin on the front, and a cloth wrap covering everything except his eyes

He was looking over some old photographs and letters

“oh uncle Midleton, I always knew that something was up, and know I have confirmation of this.” Mise said to himself

Just then the door leading to the secret hidden room creaked open to reveal ironsides and all of Mise’s friends, catching Mise’s attention immediately

“Mise, you have a lot of explaining to do.” Octavia said running up to Mise

“I know, and you all deserve an explanation, what do want to know?” Mise said pulling the cloth wrap down away from his face

“I’ll go first, what the hell is all this and why are you dress like that?” Alex asked

“this is my war room, and I'm dressed like this because I'm going to Ireland for my uncle’s funeral, as well as to take care of some private business, that of which I'm not disclosing any specific details.” Mise said holding Octavia under his arm

“that doesn’t explain why you’re dressed like an army bank robber.” Warhawk said

“well I guess it’s time I tell you the truth, my uncle was a high ranking official in the IRA, or Irish republican army, and he was recently murdered by the IRA’s main enemy other than the British, the RUC, or Royal Ulster Constabulary. The RUC are the scum of Ireland and are sworn allies of England, they are basically the puppet army of the British in Ireland.” Mise said

“anyway, since my uncle was an IRA member, he’s getting IRA honors at his funeral, and I'm part of the ceremony.” Mise said

“Mise, I'm so sorry for your loss, but why are you part of the ceremony if you don’t mind me asking?” Night said

Mise just sighed and looked to the ground and back up to his friends

“Because I, like my uncle, am a member of the IRA. But I'm been inactive for several years now, ever since we were forcibly
decommissioned, but my men have been smuggling arms incase of an attack like the one my uncle was a victim of.” Mise said

“Mise please don’t tell me you’re going to join the fight…” artemis asked

“that’s exactly what I'm going to do, I must.” Mise said

“well guys, go get your weapons of choice, and grab some money for a plane ticket because-” Alex said

“no, none of you are to follow me, I’ve already lost 3 loved ones I don’t need to lose anymore.” Mise said cutting Alex off

“wait, I though you said only your uncle is dead?” indigo asked

Ironsides, Octavia, Vinyl, and Artemis were the only ones who knew what he was talking about

“there’s something you all need to see and hear, follow me.” Mise said as he lead the group out of the cellar and back to the house, but not
before being searched and breathalyzed by Bones.

Once inside the house, Mise led the group to his bedroom door

“what I'm about to show you is something only a handful of people know about, or at least my connection to it.” Mise said as he opened the door

The inside of his room was adorned with posters and pictures depicting the spirit of Irish rebellion. there were signed letters and documents on a table, the Irish tricolor was hanging on the wall, the was a framed copy of the Easter proclamation on one side and on the other was an inconspicuous looking newspaper cutout in a frame as well.

Mise walked through ‘study’, as he called it, to an ordinary black case standing upright in the corner. Mise picked it up, placed it on his bed, opened it to reveal a mandolin. He took the mandolin and took the framed newspaper and brought it to his friends

“this newspaper cut out is from the local paper of my hometown in Ireland, read the caption and tell me what it says” Mise said as he went back to his bed and picked up the mandolin

“13 killed in bloody massacre, army paratroopers to blame” fang read out loud

“I don’t understand, what does this have to do with you?” rivet asked

“my younger brother and sister were killed that day, they were amongst the 13 killed. My brother was 4 and my sister was 3, I was 5. I always blamed myself for their deaths because I didn’t bring the home when I was supposed to, instead I decided to check out what we thought was a block party, it was actually protest and I only found out about it after I woke in the hospital. It’s the reason I moved to manehatten from Ireland and the rest is history” Mise said as he turned his mandolin.

“Mise, darling, we had no idea, you’ve been through so much, I so sorry for your loss.” Rarity said

Everyone followed suit giving Mise their condolences and such

“thank you everyone, now speaking of my siblings I have 2 things to share with you, one this song I'm about to play, its technically about the 1916 uprising but the message speaks true and the second thing is my mother is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. I'm going to be a brother again.” Mise said
