Twilight took her time getting home. She was more upset now than she had ever been before. She decided to take a detour and walk under Dash's house, taking the long way home. As Twilight passed under the house, she heard a shriek come from an open window. She was immediately pulled from her trance of despair and teleported to the front door and tried to open it. It was locked. Twilight turned around and bucked the door open and off the hinges. She sprinted inside and looked around. She didn't see anything in the living room.

"Stop it! No!" Twilight heard Dash scream from a nearby room. She pushed open the door to the kitchen and saw Delta on top of Rainbow. Dash had bruises and cuts all over her face, but aside from those wounds, Twilight noticed that Delta had broken both of her wings.

"Hey!" Twilight yelled. Delta shot a look at Twilight, but looked back down at Dash, who was crying beneath him.

"You are dead!" Delta yelled in a drunken rage. He then raised his hoof above his head and in it he held a large kitchen knife, which reflected the moonlight that shone through the window behind him. Delta looked at Twilight and looked back down at Dash. Just before he brought the knife down on Dash's face, Twilight teleported over next to Delta and bucked him as hard as she could. This sent him and the knife crashing out the window. Twilight knelt down to Dash and lifted her to her hooves.

"Can you walk?" Twilight asked while supporting Dash with her magic.

"Yeah....b-but my wings hurt real bad." Dash said wincing in pain.

"I can tell. Let's get you to the hospital quick." Twilight said. She teleported the two of them to the ground. When they got to the ground, Twilight looked over and saw Delta's motionless corpse. It was brutally maimed and nearly looked unrecognizable as a pony, and Twilight couldn't bear to look at it any longer and teleported to the hospital. Upon entering, a nurse immediately took Rainbow from Twilight and down the hall to Intensive Care. Twilight went back to the waiting room and curled up in a chair. She wished that there was a magic un-see button she could press to forget the recent occurrence. That was sadly not the case.
