“Alright, if you ever feel like you need another cleansing just say so. I've got a place we can stay until tomorrow so you can rest up and get some things done, my aunt Garnets place...and yes, all females in my family are named after gems. I'll go find the Gundam model since you aren't exactly educated in the language, so just stay in the house with Rayleigh until I get back then I'll make you something to eat with that bear meat, I know a few good ramen recipes” shard said as he and Mise walked out of the cave

“Thank’s man, I feel like a new person and that sounds great. Plus most of my family is named after liquor, so take that for what you will. Excellent and that sounds delicious. Oh and don’t forget Treble’s Pepsi.” Mise said as they walked down the path

“Well that explains a few things, also the males in my family are named after different terms of something that is broken, Shard, Fragment, Fracture, Rupture, Fraction you get the idea. Speaking of alcohol though, my aunt has a good collection of sake, the quality stuff, that she says I can help myself to, so we can have a bottle of that with the ramen.” Shard said

“Mhmm, and that's interesting. And I like the sound of that as well” Mise replied
The pair made it back to the house and the day went on as scheduled

Timeskip: the next day

Shard and Mise loaded their stuff onto the plane and set off for Canterlot

“Thanks again for doing this I-” Mise said as he was cut off by his phone buzzing

Mise picked it up saw he was being asked to join a Skype call by Octavia. Mise opened up the call and saw the entire gang sitting in the room wearing judges gowns and powdered wigs

“Ohhhh, this cannot end well…” Mise said

“What’s going on-…oh yeah you’re screwed” shard said as he looked over Mise’s shoulder

“Mise en place, by order of the CHS tribunal, you are hereby ordered to confess to all questions posed to you by the selected peer group you see before you” soul said slamming a gavel

“Confess to your crimes you stale end piece of white bread!” treble shouted only to be pulled back into his seat by Gaige
Fang got up and stepped forward holding a rolled up piece of paper and cleared his throat

“I have with me a collection a questions compiled in relation to your disappearance….ah screw this” fang said as he threw the paper over his shoulder

“Mise, I'm just going to cut crap and get down to it. Why did you leave, why didn’t you tell us, and what the hell were you thinking, and lastly, why didn’t you say goodbye?” fang asked bluntly

“well I'm going to be blunt and I'm going to give it to you all straight; you want to know what I was thinking, because I’ll tell you, I was thinking that why should someone like me be so blessed, why should I be so privileged, I deserved the worst, nothing less. I've been hurting like you guys have been, but for years now, forcing myself to go on in my blessed and privileged life. I'm a horrid excuse for human being; do you realize the things I’ve done? I MURDERED ENOUGH PEOPLE TO REPLACE THE STUDENT BODY OF CHS! I ripped apart countless families and relationships, you know what I wished for myself after my last mission, I wished myself the worst in life because some like me deserves nothing good in life. I wished things upon myself what I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy and when that didn’t happen, it troubled me deeply” Mise trying to hold himself together

“That all may be, but that does not change of how we think of you. We think of you as the crazily fun friend that loves hanging out with friends and doing crazy things for no apparent reason” fang said

Every nodded and expressed their agreement with ‘uh huh’s and yup’s’

“Thanks everyone, that means a lot, I'm sorry I didn’t say goodbye, I wanted to but I couldn’t bring myself to do it, I-” Mise said as he was cut off once more

“Ah son of a bitch, hold on I’ll switch this to my laptop so I can take this” Mise said as he opened Skype on the computer and answered his phone

“Hello Mise, its Ouda, I'm calling you to ask you if you’d like to take an animal or two off our hands. The local zoo is closing and all the animals must go, the money will go to my village” The person named Ouda asked in a thick African accent

“how many are we talking, and much is it?” Mise asked

“well we all we have left are a full grown male tiger and a male lion cub.” Ouda said

“Hmmm, fuck it I’ll take ‘em both, I got plenty of space and bunch of friends to help out if necessary. Just ship them both to canterlot and charge it my usual payment system” Mise said smiling

“Oh thank so much Mise; this money will help feed my people for a year.” Ouda said graciously as he then hung up

“Mise what was that about?” Octavia asked

“Well that was my friend Ouda, he’s native in South Africa, and the local zoo is closing and he wanted to know if I’d take the last two animals. And I say yes!” Mise said excitedly

“Oooh, what are they, parrots? Monkeys? Meerkats?” fluttershy asked eagerly

“actually, I'm glad you asked fluttershy, you’re going to be the biggest asset in this, and to answer your question its none of those, it’s a full grown male tiger, and male lion cub. They were both raised in captivity, so they’re perfectly tamed.” Mise said

“All you’re missing is the bear!” pinkie said happily

“Yeah…I actually killed and ate him…so I'm technically not…” Mise explained

Everyone simply facepalmed or laughed while fluttershy and night both fainted
