Twilight, Tumor, and Jack were all sitting together in Sugar Cube Corner. After 'convincing' the dragon to leave Manehattan alone the two conduits were known as heroes all throughout the land. For the past couple of days the three would meet up at the same bakery with Pinkie Pie reserving the same table just for them. Despite their obnoxious behavior, and disgusting language that would make Rarity faint every five seconds, they were starting to grow on her. Kind of like a- 'Oh my Celestia, they are like tumors' Twilight thought to herself, finally having full understanding of Tumor's nickname. When she finally started paying attention again she tuned in to hear Jack telling a story about his relationship with the dragon that was terrorizing Manehattan.

"So there we were, just sitting there peacefully, next thing I know I feel something weird slithering around under my belt line." He said, motioning with his fingers how the thing was moving and sliding into his pants. "When I looked down I saw that it was her tongue! Her ridiculously long ass fucking tongue. It slipped straight under my shorts and wrapped completely around my-"

"Jack, please stop." Twilight interrupted, really not looking forward to hearing how the rest of the story went. Jack paused at her request. "Thank you."

"...mah dick!" He shouted loud enough for the whole bakery to hear. earning him both angry glares and immature giggle-fits. Twilight groaned in an annoyed manner. "What was even better though was when she used that fire breath of hers while she was down there."

"Oh my Celstia!" Twilight yelled, about ready to flip the table on top of him.

The two brothers laughed as twilight had herself a small spazz-attack. Tumor moved aver next to Twilight and threw his arm over her. "Calm down sweetheart, if you keep screaming that much ponies are gonna think we're fucking."

Jack couldn't contain himself anymore, he laughed so hard he collapsed onto the floor and started rolling. "Help! I can't fucking breath!" He said between breaths.

As Jack rolled onto his stomach Twilight noticed a strange black mark on the back of his neck. "Jack, what's that?"

Jack took a moment to recollect himself before dragging himself back to the table and answering her. "What's what?"

"That mark." She stated, "The one on the back of your neck."

He looked at her with a confused expression before realization struck him. "Oh, that's our symbol! It's a roman numeral three. We all have it."

Tumor leaned down and moved his hair to the side to show her the one on his neck as well. "We got them as a symbol of our team."

Twilight nodded, understanding what it was, but one question still remained. "Well why is it a three? I mean, there's only two of you."

"Correction," Jack started, "There are two of us now. We don't know where the third one went."

"Who was the third one?" She asked curiously. Jack was about to reply, but stopped. Twilight could see a burning in his eyes; their was something inside of him, something angry. Rather than replying he pounded his fist on the table before rising up and exiting the bakery. Twilight stared at the door worriedly, "Is he okay?"

"He's fine." Tumor replied, "He just needs a minute."

She nodded, accepting that Jack just needed to be alone. "What set him off like that? Is it my fault?"

"Yes and no." Tumor answered, "He and Demon used to be very close."

"Demon?" She questioned, "That doesn't sound like a very welcoming name."

"He wasn't a very welcoming person. He was a complete sociopath with a fucked up sense of humor." He could tell Twilight was gonna say some smart ass comment so he stopped her before she could even open her mouth, "And by fucked up I mean gruesome. Yes, Jack and I joke about some weird shit, but Demon was on a completely different level."

"So this Demon was someone you met?" She asked, curious about their background.

"No, we grew up with him, he was our third."

"Care to elaborate?"

"He was the last twin." He said plainly.

Twilight felt her brain pulse the second the word twin came out of his mouth. "Waitwaitwaitwaitwait! You have another twin!?"

"Yeah, we were triplets. That's what the three stands for. We were three brothers out trying to save the world." He explained.

"How come you'v never mentioned him before?"

[How come you never brought up your older brother until the end of season two?]

"What was that?" Twilight asked.

"Wait a second, you have an older brother?" He asked in a demanding tone, "You're judging me for not bringing up my fucking family tree when you're doing the same damn thing!? How do I know you're not related to one the ponies in here? How do I know if you even had a dad?"

Twilight's face was one of fear until Tumor started asking weird questions, then it instantly went to that of confusion. "What?"

"Who stuck their dick in your mother!?" He shouted, pulling all eyes in the bakery onto both him and the now cherry red Twilight.

After taking a few moments for things to settle, and finally leaving the bakery, Tumor and Twilight were able to speak like civilized adults. She talked about her family including her brother and her old foal-sitter Cadance so he wouldn't be able to attack her with more defenses on family information. "So, why is it you've never brought up your other brother before?" She finally asked.

Tumor reached up and scratched his head as he thought back. "Well, we kind of fell apart as unit."

"What do you mean? What happened?"

"Back before the blast we were all so close. Not a day went by that we weren't together; we were fucking inseparable despite our differences. Jack was always The Big Guy, constantly looking for fights to pick and never failing to win every single one. I was more of the free spirited one, doing what I wanted when I wanted, fucking with people constantly just for a laugh. Then their was Sebastian; he was the kind of guy that didn't like to get involved with conflict, he was an introvert; always kept to himself."

Twilight watched him curiously and quickly noticed his sudden pause. "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."

"No, it's fine. Anyway, after the blast and discovering our powers we all agreed to form our own little team. We never could decide on a name for it, but the roman numeral three was our symbol from the beginning. After people got powers the bastards who thought they were stronger started beating up on the weaker conduits, so what we did was we went out to help them. We would fight off the ignorant fucks and get the weaker conduits to safety. Eventually people started calling us The Unknown because no one knew who we were. After a while Sebastian started to change. He got a lot more violent, he was constantly angry, and any empathy he had went out the fucking door. Then the war started. That's when Sebastian vanished; he wanted to help, but he refused to join any kind of army. We tried over and over to convince him to join us in helping the people, but he refused to, said that war only made things worse. After a while he just ran off without saying a word and we haven't seen him since."

Twilight had a single tear on her cheek, but quickly wiped it away. "Wow, I understand why Jack left the way he did."

"He's pissed. Our own flesh and blood abandoned us. It's been almost two years since we've so much as said his name."

"Do you know where he is? Where he went?"

"I heard rumors that he went somewhere up north, but he could be fucking dead for all I know."

Twilight froze in place and thought for a moment. "Would you like to find out for sure?"

"The fuck are you talking about?" He asked, thinking she was playing some bullshit ass joke on him.

"Think about it for a second." She pleaded, "If I managed to accidentally bring Jack here with your DNA, then maybe I'll be able to bring Sebastian too."

Before Tumor could react the area around them started to get brighter. He looked up and saw a large ball of fire plummeting to the ground. It landed with a loud crack as the earth beneath it shattered and the flames vanished. Jack walked out from the wreckage, grabbing Tumor by the collar of his shirt and Twilight by the horn and dragging them towards the castle. "Let's go, we're doing this right fucking now!" When he got to the castle he kicked open the doors and threw the two into the middle of the room. "Do it, do it now!"

Twilight immediately got up, not wanting to anger Jack further and got to work. She took a single hair from both of them and levitated them in front of her before casting the spell. Her horn started sparking wildly and her eyes shined brightly as a hole began to tear in the fabric of time and space right above them. The two hairs intertwined and shot into the tear and shortly after a large cloud of thick smoke seeped out of it, filling the room with a large grey cloud of gas that burned their lungs with every breath. The air was becoming thinner every second they stayed there and after less than a minute they had to run out of the castle.

Tumor was the first to catch his breath, "What the fuck happened?" he asked between gasps.

"I don't know." Twilight answered, "That didn't happen when Jack came through."

"You did it fucking wrong!" Jack yelled accusingly.

"I did it the same exact way that brought you here! I didn't do it wrong!" She argued.

"Maybe it's a sign..." Tumor interrupted. The two looked at him questioningly. "Maybe he didn't make it..." He said with a somewhat downcast look.

Jack walked up to him aggressively. "What the fuck are you getting at?"

Tumor decided that it would be best to be direct, Jack never liked it when people tried to sugar-coat information. "I think he's dead."

Jack's expression could almost be mistaken for sadness for once, but it faded away and was quickly replaced with rage. He walked away from the two and stopped when he was several feet from them. They could feel the heat around them intensifying as Jack's body suddenly went up in flames and a large set of wings made of fire stretching wider than Ponyville suddenly formed on his back. The flames were practically exploding out of his body as he let his anger out in the form of his powers "FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!" The fire coating his body slowly died down as he started running out of juice. Jack struggled to stay up, doing that had taken everything out of him, he had exhausted all of his power reserves and he fell to his knees. His body was completely drained, the smoke coming off of his body was proof enough of that.

Twilight stared at the spectacle before her from start to finish. Jack had unloaded an unimaginable amount of power. Tumor is supposed to be more powerful than Jack so she could only imagine what he was capable of if Jack could do something like that. "Oh my Celestia." She said as Jack's tantrum came to an end.

Tumor made his way over to his brother and put a hand on his shoulder. Despite the hateful expression on Jack's face, Tumor could still see the tears forming in his eyes, at least before they evaporated from the intense heat he was giving off. "Come on, get up." He pulled Jack to lift him but his body worked against him. "Jack, get your ass up!"

"Fuck you..." He quietly insulted.

Tumor sighed and walked away to leave Jack by his lonesome. He made his way back into the castle, the smoke seemed to have completely cleared. "come on, Twi. Let's leave him be for now."

Twilight looked to him then to Jack before nodding and walking inside with Tumor, "I'm so sorry about all of this."

"It's not your fault, Twilight." He reassured, taking a seat in one of the several thrones.

Twilight took a seat too and was about to say something before her words became caught in her throat. She watched as a cloud of smoke moved towards the table in front of them and started gathering itself. "What in the world?" Was all she could say as the thick gray gas began stacking itself together in the shape of a bipedal creature that Equestria had only seen two of.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." Tumor commented as the smoke started dissipating and the body became more clear. In front of him stood an exact mirror image of himself. The only differences were it's clothing and it's eyes; it wore a thick black hooded jacket, a pair of baggy black pants, and no shoes or socks. It's eyes, unlike Tumors blue ones, were completely white minus his grey pupils. Tumor and twilight both stared in awe at the person standing before them. "Sebastian?"

The mystery human looked down and spoke, his voice sounding as if two people were speaking at once. One sounding identical to Tumor and Jack, while the other was much deeper. "What's wrong Dale? You look like you've seen a ghost..."
