Treble slowly opened his eyes, feeling very light. He slowly got himself into a sitting position and rubbed the side of his head. Once fully awake he got to his feet and took in his surroundings. He was standing in an invisible floor in the middle of a cloud filled sunset sky, but no ground could be seen. 'The dreamscape? How'd I get here?'

He looked over himself and found that he was wearing his old short jacket that only covered his chest. He also noticed that his body had a slight glow emitting if of it, tiny sparkles floating off of his body and disappearing. When he looked to his hand he noticed it was slightly transparent, as was his entire body.

'What the hell is going on here? If this is the dreamscape why aren't I a pony?'

He shook his head and looked around, trying to find a way out, or anything for that matter. So, he began to walk in the direction of the sunset. While he walked, memories of what had happened began to come back into his mind. The gunshot, the blood, the look on Sunsets face and his fathers laughter, it all made its way back to him. He placed a hand on his chest, feeling nothing out of place. He lifted his shirt to see a small glowing hole of where he was shot.

'If I was shot and fell unconscious, and if I'm here, that means I'm still alive and most likely in the hospital, like back when I thought I had killed Adagio. So it's only a matter of letting myself recover...'

"It's not as simple as that, Gaurdian." A soft, motherly voice spoke.

Treble turned around and his eyes widened in suprise. "You..."

Canterlot City Hospital

The group stood around the hospital bed which held Trebles body, covered in various bandages and stitches, he'd be having a few scars on his body for the rest of his life after that final battle, and the fact that he was at the impact point of a oil truck collision and explosion. Sunset sat at the bedside with both her hands wrapped around Trebles only free hand, as the other was coveted in a small cast die to his broken wrist.

Synthesia stood on the other side of the bed gently stroking her sons hair, looking at the heavily bandaged hole on his bare chest. The bullet had went right through him, so there was nothing to remove. The doctors had informed them all that it had missed his heart and gone through a lung, if it weren't for the magic in his body healing him they would have had to either do a transplant or extract the broken organ completely. (Don't expect that kinda stuff to be accurate I'm not a doctor)

That would have been good news, if not for one thing.

"A coma?" Octavia asked with worry.

The doctor nodded. "Correct, due to the shock and overstimulation his body went into a complete shutdown, that includes his mind. He's still alive, but there's no telling when he'll wake up, even with this 'magic' healing him. It could take a few days, a couple of weeks, or even years for him to wake up. I'm sorry."

Sunset tightened her grip on Trebles hand and closed her eyes. Bass placed a hand on her shoulder and sighed. "Well...at least one good thing came out of this."

"What exactly could come out of this situation that any of us can even remotely consider good?" Rarity asked slightly angered, resulting in Silver to hold onto her arm and shake his head.

"X-I mean Neon is gone, so we don't need to worry about any kidnappings, rape attempts, assassinations or thugs."

"You're welcome by the way." Hack said while polishing his cane.

"You don't need to be a dick Hack, you killing him wasn't some big achievement or anything." Rainbow glared at the tophat wearing man.

"Actually it is." Hack stood up and pointed to Treble. "He let Neon live, and look what happened because of it. If he was still alive he'd make some new plan up, his lackeys would break him out of whatever prison he was placed in and he'd do this exact thing to all of us! I respect Treble and all, but sparing Neon was the biggest mistake he's ever made!"

"So you're saying Sunsets decision led to this!?" Sparkjump snapped as he suddenly got out of his chair, surprising everyone.

Hack recoiled and looked unsure. "Well...I..."

Sunset began to form tears while Sparkjump glared at Hack. "Think before you speak Hack, the random stuff you say may be entertaining but you need to know when to shut the hell up." He spoke in a quieter voice but still kept a harsh tone before sitting back down.

Hack sat back down as well and sighed while looking to Sunset. "I'm sorry..."

"Forget it..." Sunset replied, barely even heard. Scary and Frightening crawled out of Sunsets bag and sat in her shoulders, looking down at their owner in sadness. Frightening nuzzled Sunsets cheek while Scary jumped onto the bed and lay down on Trebles chest.

Synthesia walked up to Sunset and knelt down to her. "Come on sweetie, let's leave him to his rest, there isn't anything we can do but wait. I know you don't want to leave him, but the doctors still need to do a few check ups on him, so let's get you home, you can stay with us if you don't want to be alone."

Sunset wiped a tear from her eye and nodded sadly. She got up and planted a kiss on Trebles lips. "Wake up soon...I need you here..." With that Synthesia wrapped her arms around her and they began to leave the room, along with everyone but Hack and Bass.

"We both know this isn't the end." Hack spoke darkly.

"I know...Jegger is still out there..." Bass looked out over the city and sighed. "And he's more dangerous than Neon ever could be."

Author's Notes:

Here we are with the next season. I was actually thinking of putting this on a short hiatus just to drag things out, but I like uploading chapters of this story and want to get things moving.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed so far, this season is mainly focusing on personal issues with the group as well as the Treble dreamscape side story.

Also. Treble will make a new friend in the dreamscape, a certain character that I've wanted to write about for awhile now, and I bet none of you can guess who she is.
