It Came From The Sky

As the mare arrived home with her guest, she gently lay the stallion on his side so he wouldn't choke on his own blood. She quickly ran to her bathroom to grab some towels. When the mare came back from the bathroom, she noticed the stallion was trying to sit up, but kept falling down when he came close. So she quickly ran to his side to help him.

"Woah there! Take it easy there buddy, just lie down while I take a look," the mare spoke gently.

As the stallion lied back down, he grunted when he felt a sharp pain in his chest when the mare began pressing a wet towel down on his chest.

"So...what's your name?" the mare asked politely.

"Its Phoenix. What's yours?" the stallion responded aggressively while trying to sound polite.

"Rainbow Dash...now can I please take you to a hospital? This looks really serious" she replied with panic and concern in her voice.

"If you really want to help me pull this out of my chest as fast as you can when I say, and before you say 'no.' By the time you get me to those butchers, I will have bled out with the amount of time it will take to get me there, and wait to be seen to. So, now your left with a choice...pull this out of me when I say and I will do the rest, or you can let me die slowly from blood loss. Your choice, but make it fast" Phoenix spoke quickly with panic in his voice.

The mare just sat there, unsure what to do for a couple seconds until she did agree it would take a while to get to the hospital. It took a while to just get home and the Hospital is on the other side of Ponyville, she wouln't make it. After about a minute of thinking, Rainbow Dash walked up to Phoenix and sat beside him as close as she could. She put her hooves on the piece of metal.

"I know you must be panicing in your head right now, but I can take pain and doing this is saving my life. Now, are you ready Rainbow Dash?" Phoenix spoke calmly.

Rainbow Dash nodded her head while her hooves were shaking slightly.

"Three...two...NOW!" Pheonix shounted.

As the metal was pulled out, Phoenix quickly covered the wound with his hooves and began applying pressure. But as he did, Rainbow Dash turned around to see Phoenix's hooves had turned from dark blue to bright orange, and his eyes had turned from sky blue to red. After a couple of seconds, the end of Phoenix's hooves ignited and a sizzling sound could be heard as well as the smell of burning flesh. But after about a minute, Phoenix pulled his hooves away and lay his head back, panting. After a few seconds had passed and Phoenix's eyes and hooves had turned back to normal, while Phoenix could be heard sighing in relief.

Rainbow Dash had been just sitting in the same spot for about a minute now, trying to comprehend what just happened to Phoenix. But every time she was about to say something, she immediately stopped herself. She eventually found herself just staring at Phoenix. A few minutes had passed now since Phoenix had burned himself, and after hearing nothing but silence, he finally lifted his head up. Only to be greated by Rainbows Dash's head about an inch away from his that caused him jump,

"How did you do that!? Oh, oh, oh! Can you teach me? I bet that would look so awsome on me! Just imagine fire the colour of rainbows behind me durring one of my awsome stunts!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly.

As Phoenix looked at the pegasus before him, he could see her excitement and curiousity. But this sight only caused Phoenix to relive part of a memory.

"Were am I?" Phoenix said hoping to change the direction of the conversation.

Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes as she looked at Phoenix, but stopped as she saw the expression he was trying very hard to hide. Knowing what he was doing she decided to back off this topic, for now anyway.

"You're just outside Ponyville."

"Wha- oh, wait you're an Equestrian arn't you?"

"No, I'm a Griffon," Rainbow said jokingly.

Phoenix rolled his eyes. "Well, thank you for all tonight, but I must be on my way now," Phoenix said as he walked to the door.

"Wait, you're just gunna leave in the middle of the night?"

"What are yo- oh," Phoenix said as opened the door to darkness.

Wanting to ensure she got her answers, Rainbow quickly asked Phoenix a question.

"You wanna spend the night here?" Rainbow Dash asked casually.

   After hearing this,  a smile slowly formed on Phoenix's face. As Rainbow Dash saw this she began walking towards what looked like a closet and began looking inside it. While Rainbow Dash was looking in her closet, Phoenix looked around the room. He noticed one recurring thing, this mare had a lot of posters of a group called The wonderbolts.

What these Equestria's done with there military since my last visit? Phoenix thought, as he shook his head.

Phoenix suddenly heard the mare's hoofsteps behind him and turned around to see her with a blanket folded on her back, and a pillow in her mouth. When Phoenix made eye contact with Rainbow Dash, she began throwing these items one at a time so Phoenix could catch them.

"There is a chair or sofa you can use to sleep on, and I will be in the first room on the left so if you need anything, let me know," Rainbow Dash said, informatively.

"Thank you again...for everything you've done tonight. I owe you my life," Phoenix spoke happily.

After Phoenix finished, they both agreed that it was late, so they said there goodnights and went to there beds. But as Phoenix lied down on the sofa, he got a feling of deja vu. So he got up to sleep on the chair instead and as head hit the pillow, he immediately fell asleep.
