Excuse me?!" The purple horse in front of them exclaimed offended. "I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Equestria and Friendship. I am also, not a horse!" She opened up a pair of wings as she said this while also making sure her horn glowed brightly as it did when she came through the portal, and stood majestically in front of Edgar and Hank.

Hank looked a bit surprised as he didn't notice the wings on the horse before but didn't mind it or see it as anything overly extravagant. Edgar on the other hand, just scoffed and didn't seem bothered by the new extensions on the horse.

"Wings aren't really that useful ya know? There are more convenient ways of travelling like teleportation and super speed." Edgar said mockingly. Cerby looked at the horse too and started barking wildly, but suddenly stopped as soon as Hank looked at him. The horse looked really affronted now and walked towards Edgar, keeping it's wings wide open while Edgar simply raised his left eyebrow while keeping his arms closed.

"I am a pony" She said once she was inches from where Edgar was standing. "And specifically, I'm an alicorn. So kindly stop calling me a horse please" She said with a strained politeness in her voice.

It was at this moment that Hank realized something. Before Edgar could reply to Twilight's proper introduction, Hank interrupted him.

"How did you know?"

Twilight looked at him in surprise, apparently registering the fact that he had been standing there for a while. Edgar looked at Hank too, but in visible irritation for being interrupted. Hank however didn't care about Edgar at the moment and continued looking at Twilight in what seemed like curiosity, which was hard to tell because he was wearing a pair of goggles and a mask. Twilight however just looked at him in confusion.

"How did you know... Who and what you are?" Hank asked in the same curious voice as earlier. "I don't know who I was before coming here, and this meathead looks like he doesn't know too"

"Hey! How do you know, that I don't know?!" Edgar asked in anger.

"That's because you look like the type to parade around town exclaiming you're the dumbest man alive just because it looks like you achieved something that other people haven't" Hank replied. "You would've made sure you told me all your achievements from birth if you knew what you did before coming here, that is assuming you have any."

Edgar had the same comical expression of anger plastered and proceeded to go sit on the floor with his arms and legs crossed and pouted like an adamant child, while steam bellowed from his ears. Twilight however giggled and turned towards Hank.

"Did you get a mission board telling you to come here?" She asked politely to Hank, to which he simply nodded.

"Well open it up again" she said. Hank obliged and focused on opening the mission board, which appeared in a second.

"Now look at the tabs beside the mission board."

Hank looked and saw two other individual tabs beside the mission board tab. One of them read 'Biography' while the other read 'Stats and powers'. He opened up the one named Biography and looked in it.

This at once opened up the face of the dying boy he met when he first spawned into the world, except he was alive and also a blue hologram without flesh and blood. The head looked like it was waking up from a deep slumber and when it opened its eyes it looked kind of irritated.

"Hullo... Guess you want your biography too?" The Head asked in a tired and bored voice, to which Hank merely nodded. "Well let's see, let's see.... You are... Hank J Wimbleton"

"Ahh so that's your na-" Edgar started but Hank simply punched him in his jaw to shut him up."

"I know that already, tell me something useful" Hank replied impatiently. The Head gave Hank an extremely bored look and continued. "If I had to tell you about everything that happened in your respective game-verse then we will be stuck here for the next few days, which we both do not want, do we?" Hank again nodded his head to this and The Head continued. "Well let's see.. You are a really strong soldier who fights against these guys called Auditor, Tricky and Jebus and a shit ton of other guys, kill them violently, and oh my.. it seems you have an entire agency dedicated to eliminate you, that's badass! You kinda have... No sole purpose except to uhhh kill and also you lack formal education." The head said, to which Edgar laughed pretty loudly.
