(Meanwhile back at the hospital)

"Ok now hopefully she'll wake in a moment now." Dr.Zager said, removing the syringe from Keyota's chest.

Come on Key,been through so much. Please Celestia don't let him die now. Vinyl hoped as she sat anxiously awaiting if he-er she was gonna live.

The heart beat monitor suddenly increased. "She's going into shock, raise anesthetic to 3.3." The beats kept increasing, albeit at a slower rate. "Patient is trying to resume magic flow." "It should be working." As soon as the words left his mouth the heartbeat dropped massively. "What, patient is losing magic rapidly." The heart beat slowed to only around 3 beats every ten seconds.
The Doctor turned to Vinyl and said. "I'm sorry she's losing too much energy." "Nothing we can do now but hope she's able to find out how to regulate magic again."

"N-no keyota. I wasn't there for you....Damn him to hell." Vinyl said in a barely audible whisper, as a tear streaked down her face. She started remembering the good times they had,when she remembered from the stories her parents had read to her that the voice of somepony they loved could bring them back. Even tough it would only work if it was true love she was willing to try, no matter what may come of it. So she then stared to sing, quiet enough for only her and Keyota could hear, with the exception of somepony with acute senses.

"And then when you've bingled all your bangles and your loved ones have been mangled, listen to the jingle jangle of my gypsy tambourine." Vinyl sang the song slower and less cheerfully than it was usually sang at, all the while in Russian. "And these cords are hypnotising and while the world's harmonizing, so please children stop your crying and sing along with me"

After Vinyl's voice had faded the heartbeat monitor started to increase, until finally peaking at a normal rate.

"Oh thank Faust." Vinyl said breathing a sigh of relief. Russian was a language she more, less needed to learn to be able to understand Key early on. Up until they moved to ponyville, Supporting the idea that Key was born in staliongrad, she only spoke Russian. She still remembered the first few days after he started speaking to her and her parents.
(Flashback)

"Да!" Key said, still spinning on the vinyl.

"Yeah tha-wait wuh?" She stopped mid sentence, utterly confused. "Uh say that again."

"Да!" He repeated, hopping off of the vinyl.

"Ah..umm...h-hey dad!"

A tall blue Pegasus poked his head through the doorway. "Yeah vinyl?"

"What's he saying?" She said pointing her hoof at the little colt.

"Что это за место?" "... И что ты говоришь?"

The pegasus cocked his head. "Hmmm..." he looked back at vinyl. "He's not speaking Equestrian...think it might be Russian, would make sense because we found him in Staliongrad."

"...Russian?" She asked.

"Let me check.." he cleared his throat. "Вы говорите по-русски?"

"Вы правы." He replied, happy to finally understand something they said.

"Yep, Russian."

"О, нет, я не могу понять, что они говорят больше!"

"Guess you're going to have to learn Russian now."

"So it really does work" a voice said from behind and the dj. Who screamed while jumping nearly two feet into the air, before landing and turning around as she was dragged back to the present. She was met with a blue earth pony stallion with a light silver mane that went down to his hooves.

"W-who are you?!"

"Friend of the Doctor."

"O-ok...how long have you been standing there?"

"I'd say..since you began to sing."

"..How..-?"

"Very acute senses." "So it seems that your friend here has found true love." Moments after the words came out of his mouth, behind her purple shades Vinyl's eyes grew wide.

"Ohallmightyfaustmysisterisinlovewithme!"

"Well it-wait your sister?" Vinyl nodded quickly, still trying to process what this meant. "Huh we'll correct me if I'm wrong here but." "True love doesn't have to be the romance kind of love, it's most likely sisterly love, but I could be wrong." "Or it could be a little different."

"What do you mean?"

"You were the one who first found her right?" He paused for a moment as Vinyl nodded. "And she got into Dj'ing because of you." "And your her only sibling, one who's been by her side through good and bad, sick and well." "So when you think about it it's not that hard to believe where she's comming from about you is it?"

Vinyl looked down for a moment. "...i-i guess I get it." She said softly, looking back up.

"Or she could think of you as a motherly figure to her, since you're the first one she saw." The pony said with a slight hesitation.

"...that...also makes sense...in a way."

"One more thing, it's just going to get harder from now." "These are her worst injuries by far, and likely the most traumatizing." "Just be sure you're there for her, she needs you now more than ever." He said as he started for the door.

"Right...Hey I never got your name."

"You'll find out soon enough."

(Back to ponyville' s outskirts)

"-and that's pretty much what happened so far." The Doctor said, finishing up. "Hey wait...where did Tsubasa go?" All five ponies looked around at the same time.

"Ahh, he'll turn up sooner or later like he always does." Kyoya said nonchalantly. Is it possible that in some form, he's here too? He thought. if he is...we might have a problem on our hands...er hooves.

...stupid puns..
