Chapter 4:Hospitalized

A Sonic Rainboom formed, but it wasn't just a normal one. (like Rainbow Dash's) No, This one had the colors of Blade's flames. Red, orange and yellow. The blast spread itself out and was even seen in Canterlot.

He hit the Manticore hard in it's stomach and flew down towards the ground. Not stopping this time Blade increased speed and blasted into the earth with the Manticore. Making a giant explosion with flames, dust and probably the sound of bones breaking. Applejack leaned against the fence with her mouth wide open, she couldn't believe what she just saw. She was just frozen into place. That was until she saw something shoot away from the crater.

''Wait what? Oh Blade! I'm coming for ya Sugarcube.'' And she jumped over the fence. When she came to the crater she only saw Blade lying there. Not moving and unconscious. ''Oh no. Come on Blade stay with me, don't fall away now. Please don't.''

Blade POV

The crash made everything go Black again. I really need to stop getting in this kind of situation… Oh well, It's at least quiet here… '' Oh no. Come on Blade stay with me, don't fall away now. Please don't.'' I suddenly heard. Well there goes my peace and quiet. I thought. Too bad I can't move a muscle to let people know I'm alive… Oh shit I feel….

*And his consciousness slipped away again.*

Back to normal

Big Mac galloped towards town whit a kart behind him. In this kart Blade laid unconscious and Applejack sat next to him. ''You'll be ok Blade, I promise ya.'' And after a minute they arrived at the Hospital. With Blade on his back Big Macintosh galloped inside to the doctors with Applejack in pursuit. ''Quick he needs medical care!'' She screamed. The doctors nodded and put Blade on a stretcher. They rolled him to an ER. Leaving Applejack and Big Mac in the waiting room. ''Thanks Big Mac, for carrying him.'' Big Mac nodded. ''I'll go back to the farm now, don't worry, he is one feisty pony.'' He reassured her and walked away. Applejack now sat alone in the waiting room. Waiting for a dear friend.

After one and a half hour Blade came out of the ER, he was still unconscious but he was stable. He was brought into a room and Applejack followed. ''Is he going to be ok?'' The doctor nodded. ''He will be ok, but don't ask me when or how. After your story it's a miracle he was in one piece. So you just have to wait.'' The doctor went away and left Applejack with Blade. ''Thanks for protecting our home Blade.'' She said, letting down a small tear.

Now suddenly five other ponies came in. The rest of the gang came in and asked what happened. Applejack told them the story and about Blade's version of the Sonic Rainboom. ''So that's what it was.'' Rainbow Dash said. ''I thought it looked familiar but dude. That he pulled it off.'' The others nodded. ''Don't worry sweetie, he'll be alright in no time.'' Rarity assured her. Having her friends behind her really helped. But seeing one unconscious didn't.

Dreamland

''And we're back in the Dark. I'm beginning to get used to it… Wait I shouldn't be saying that!'' I smacked my hand in my face. Thought for a second and screamed it out. ''Damn it, already forgot I had human hands, and that in… less than four hours… I really need to get a checkup sometime, my memory sucks.'' And after i facepalmed myself I began walking around. Suddenly the room became foggy white instead of just Darkness. ''Well, you're getting your check up now.'' The same voice as before said. ''Oh great. So I'm not dead?'' I asked. The voice laughed. ''Oh no my boy, it is far too early for you to die. We have plans for you, you can't even imagine.'' I frowned. ''Try me.'' The voice laughed and a shadow appeared. ''Well I don't want to give away any surprises so I'll tell you some normal stuff. You're stuck here for a month, after that there will be a Singing contest and you will be in a lot of pain when you wake up.'' I looked at the Shadow. ''Are you kidding me? A month? That's long… The contest I don't care about, and the pain, well that is no surprise.'' The shadow came closer. ''The pain won't be from the wounds and you will enter the contest.'' I shook of his statement and stood up, the shadow was a little smaller than me but still pretty tall. ''So you're gonna keep me company?'' The shadow nodded. ''Well that's a relief of nothing.'' With those words the shadow and fog disappeared and returned into darkness. ''Aww come on!'' Was the last I screamed towards the disappearing shadow.

That was before another surrounding popped up, It was like the park close to my house. ''Told you I'm keeping you company.'' The voice said with a playful tone and I smiled. ''A lot better.'' I nodded

A month later(And still Blade POV)

''Hmm another refreshing day in my own little mind.'' I put my hoof in my eyes to rub the sleep out when I noticed it. They were hooves again. ''This can only mean one thing… I'm awake, or my mind is fucking with me again.'' I looked around and try to feel the pain the voice spoke of but I felt nothing. ''Well he apparently wasn't that all-knowing. He was even wrong about the pain.'' The door shot open and six ponies surrounded me, It was scary, until I got a crushing hug that really hurt. I looked up to see it was Applejack. ''Hey Applejack… I like to have my lungs intact please.'' She released me and I tried to breath normally. ''Thanks, now can anyone tell me where, what and why am I here? Also how long.''

Twilight spoke up. ''In the exact same order. Hospital, Getting better, Because you crashed down to earth with a Manticore and for a month.'' I looked at her with disbelief. ''Well that explains a lot. Now let's get.. Yiouch.'' I grabbed my head because of the pain. Applejack hit me with tears in the eyes. ''I was worried about you the entire month and now you just wake up happy and like nothing happened?'' I lowered my head ashamed. But just when I wanted to say something I got another hug. Now more gentle and warm. ''Idiot, you scared me to death that time.'' I felt a tear falling in my neck but it didn't matter now.

When Applejack finally let go some questions came. ''What attacked, how did you know that move and since when could you do that?'' were the most reappearing. I answered them all truthfully. ''It was a giant Manticore, I just knew it and I have no clue.'' The six looked at me and tried to question me more but the doctor intervened. ''You're discharged from the hospital, congratulations.'' I looked at him with disbelief. ''Why now, I just woke up. And why the congratulations if you expected it?'' The doctor laughed. ''But your injuries are long gone, so the deal is that when you wake up you can get out and the congratz are about your cutie mark. Apparently you didn't have it before.'' I nodded in understandingly and then looked at my flank. It was a fireball with black wings. It felt pretty awesome to have it. I signed some papers to officially be discharged and walked out of the hospital.

And with that the seven of us were outside of the Hospital. ''And what now?'' I asked. These six looked thinking except Pinkie Pie who kept screaming party in my ears. Twilight was the first to leave, ''Sorry guys, I just remembered I had to do something. Blade, we will make an appointment later ok?'' And with that she shot off. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy claimed to have to go to Cloudsdale so they left. Rarity said she had a customer so she galloped towards her studio. Leaving Pinkie Pie with her party begging. ''You know Pinkie sugar, everyone is busy so why won't you organize that little thing for tomorrow?'' Applejack asked her. Pinkie Pie jumped up. ''That's an good idea. Ok, the party is tomorrow then.'' And she hopped towards the cake shop. Leaving Applejack and me alone.

''Uhhmm, shall… we go… to home?'' I asked, thinking about what she said and did. Applejack nodded and lead the way. We went passed some buildings when my eye fell on a piece of paper. I looked at it and it said.

Big Sing Star competition.

Who will go with the price of a thousand bits!

And a meeting with Princess Celestia

Ponyville square in just 2 days!

I looked at the poster. What the frig was going on, it was already the third thing that was correct. Well it was the last thing. But still very impressive. Applejack came back. ''What are ya'll lookin at Blade?'' She asked and saw the poster. ''Thinking of joining?'' She asked with a smirk and before I could think I said yes. I face palmed myself when I said that but Applejack didn't notice it. ''Haha, I want to hear you sing, and you know what?'' I looked at her. ''I'll cheer you on to victory, what about that?'' I couldn't back away now, she was happy after, she smiled for the first time since I woke up. But I knew very little songs and I don't think they ever heard of the most bands back there.

Applejack then put a hoof on my shoulder. ''Well, even though you just woke up it's late. So why won't we continue home, just like before you stopped, and see Granny smith, Big Mac and Applebloom again?'' I looked up and saw that the sun was setting. Strange to wake up and see the sun setting. I nodded to Applejack and both went to Sweet Apple Acres.

We didn't say anything to each other during the entire walk. When we arrived at the farm Applebloom galloped towards us. She jumped and hugged me around the neck. ''Blade you're awake again.'' She also let some tears flow. I never knew someone could miss you so much. It was a nice feeling being loved like this. When we went inside, meanwhile Applebloom jumped on my back, Granny Smith and Big Mac greeted me happily, even though Granny Smith forgot my name. But I don't blame her, I was here for what? Two days and then A month in the Hospital. Not really the best introduction you could make.

The night continued, we listened to one of the stories of Granny Smith and talked among ourselves when she fell asleep. When Applebloom yawned and showed extreme sleepiness we decided it was time for bed. Applejack and I brought Applebloom to bed. She hugged us both before falling asleep. When we were back in the hallway Applejack began to talk. ''Hey Blade, I'm glad you're A-Okay. And sorry about hitting you back then, don't know what in the hay came over me.'' She gave me a hug and went in her room. I also went into my room ignorant to the situation. I jumped in bed and fell asleep. ''Didn't know being unconscious was this tiring.'' And with that he fell asleep.

At the other end of the hallway Applejack couldn't sleep, she felt strange. What am I feeling? She thought over and over again but one image always returned to her head. Blade.

''I only met him a month ago an' most of the time he was KO. So why do I feel this way.'' She asked herself. And after some rolling around the sleep took over, the last month she couldn't really sleep but now… She could finally have a good night sleep.

''Goodnight Blade'' was the last thing she thought before plummeting into dreamland.
