Chapter 4

Mental Conference

"Whelp this is boring" the stallion says as he sits once again in the all to familiar darkness of unconsciousness. "Why is its always so gloomy in here?"

"Well it's not like you're here very often so I made myself at home over time"

"So you at home is crushing misty darkness?"

"Yes"

"You're so depressing, you know that right?"

"At least I didn't get my flank kicked by a juvenile manticore, which by the way with all of what we've experienced in the Badlands would have been trivial."

"Ah whatever you're still depressing."

"Well what do you expect? I am a being created in your mind as a different personality trapped in here until whenever you let me out. So yes I'm a little depressing!"

"Okay, okay yeesh, tell you what if we're not dead from blood loss I will look into finding a way to get you your own body. Is that cool with you?"

"Yeah, that's cool... thanks."

"No problem.... I hope that kid was rescued."

"Why? We don't even know her why would you even care about some random foal? "

"First, you know full well I don't ever care for anyone except for my top five trusted friends. And then younglings because I just do."

"Five? Ok I know who two are who are the others?"

"One is my father and well...The other is you."

"Me?"

"Well ya we've been together since-" The stallion stops to ponder at how long they have been together. "Anyway, after all this time I just considered you as a friend I could trust. I mean if I couldn't trust what's in my mind, who could I?"

"It scares me at how much sense you just made.....Oh Faust we really are dying!"

"Oh relax we've been through worse."

The voice gave a sigh "To true. Anyway did you have another reason for caring for that foal other than that being how you are?"

"Well she saved our flank for one. And.... I don't know there is just something about her that makes me care."

"....."

"...."

"You're one sick pedo pony aren't you?"

"Oh, grow up you know what I mean. And another thi-gah!" The stallion gave a pained huff grabbing his left fore leg.

"Ah! What the bloody hell?! My leg feels like its being torn off."

"Don't you mean bloody Tartarus? " The voiced said mockingly.

"Ffffuck you I don't have to stick to them dam Equestrian PG-13 bullshit!" The stallion said clutching his left fore leg.

"Dam this hurts"

"Well we are passed out next to a tree so, maybe were being eaten by some scavenger."

The stallion take a deep breath as the pain slowly subsides.

"Huh, it stopped hurting. So either something ate my leg and then left, ooor something really weird is happening to our body."

"What? like some weird kinky fetish?"

"I hope not. I don't know about you but I'd rather not me getting kinky molestation whilst being unconscious.... Your not into that kind of thing are you?"

"I don't feel comfortable talking about what I do or don't like to do in bedroom since not even I know what I'm into, due to not actually having any experience in that sort of thing."

"Well at least we have something in common there."

"Changing the subject, when do you think we'll wake up? If were not already dead that is."

"No clue. For all we know we could be in a coma and will never wake up agai-"

Suddenly a blinding light overtakes the dark void of the stallions mind. The stallion closes his eyes to shield them from the bright menace. The stallion begins to hear a consistent mechanical beeping, the smell of disinfectant overwhelms his senses, he could feel a soft pillow under his head and an uncomfortable pressure on his chest and legs.

"Ah, so your awake?" a voice asked out from somewhere.

"Wh-Where am I?" the stallion asked, slowly opening his eyes so they may adjust to the light.

"You are in a hospital, more specifically the critical care ward."

"Well that's just dandy doc do little." The stallion gave a sighed "But, I guess it's better than being dead."

"Oh no you were dead."

"What?"

"Dead for about five minutes I think. If it wasn't for that unicorn guard mare willing to transfuse as much blood that she could give you would probably still be dead."

"Great" The stallion said with a irritated tone.

"I'm sorry but, you sound upset."

"I just lost a fifteen hundred bit bet, so yah, I'm a bit upset."

"A bet? On what?" The unknown voice which the stallion determined as feminine asked.

"On how long it would take me to be in Equestria and not die..... I betted it would at least two weeks."

"I thought it would take you three days."

"Shut it ass."

"Ex-excuse me!?" The mare said shocked if not angrily due to the fact the stallion just said that out loud.

"Don't mind that captain the colt talks to himself quite often." Another voice came into the conversation but, this one the stallion recognized.

"Been so long since anypony called me colt." The stallion opened his eyes to find a dark gray pegasus looking back at him with a small smirk on his muzzle. "Good to see you haven't kicked the bucket yet ya old hardass."

"You should not insult the general since he helped save your sorry flank!" the faceless mares voice warned with a growl.

"And may I ask who is the pony that thinks they should intimidate a poor beaten pony who has just awakened from a terrible traumatizing experience?" The stallion said with a mock pitiful face. The stallion also attempted to place a hoof to his forehead but, for some reason his leg was not moving. Looking down to where his hoof was the stallion saw that he was in fact held down by a restraint wrapped over his barrel and right fore leg.

"Umm Dark?" The stallion asked slightly amused.

"Yes" Dark responded his tone and expression remaining neutral.

"Why am I tied down like some lunatic in a psych ward?"

Dark didn't respond to the stallions question instead, he walked closer to the stallion looking directly in his eyes.

"Dark, you better stop whatever dramatics you are playing at and just tell me what the problem is."

"I believe that is something I should do." An unfamiliar voice came from the rooms entrance. Standing there was a brown earth pony wearing a medical uniform.

"And who are you?"

"My name is Doc and this is Hash" Doc made a side step from the door letting in a magenta unicorn wearing a guards armor. Hash gives the stallion a smile and a wave of her hoof.

"Hash here is the one that donated blood for me to transfuse into you. If it weren't for her you would be dead."

"But, didn't I die anyway?" The stallion said with a chuckle.

"Do you really find that funny?" Again the faceless mare asks in a harsh tone.

"Just a little. By the way I don't think I've met you yet mind showing you're self?"

"No I have more important tasks to take care of. May I take my leave general?"

"Yes you may captain."

"Thank you general." The mare said before there was a bright flash of light of a pony teleporting.

"Well she seemed nice. A bit cold but that's expected of a guard captain I guess." The stallion said. "But, could we get back to the subject of me being tied down?"

"Ah" Doc said. "Well you see before Hash teleported us here to the hospital I gave you a healing potion for your wounds." Doc started to pace from side of the room to the other. "But, it didn't do much for some of your major wounds such as the crude operation you gave yourself."

"Well I had to do something about the poison"

"And you solved that problem easily by making a large hole in your chest." Doc said with a deadpan expression. "Anyway when we got you to surgery to properly stitch you up a, slight complication occurred when we did an x-ray on your broken leg."

"And?"

"It wasn't broken. It was crushed. There would be no way for it to heal."

"I-I see, is that all?" The stallion asked with a slight twitch of his eye.

"Unfortunately no. Your leg had gotten infected somehow and we.....couldn't save the leg."

"Oh Faust, don't you dare say what I think you are going to say" The stallion said with a small growl.

"It's best if you see for yourself." Dark said, unlatching the restraint around the stallions barrel. The stallion took a deep breath before looking down at his leg, or to the unfortunate reality lack of one.

"Just perfect." The stallion huffed. "Now I lost an extra four hundred bits."

"Is that really all your concerned about!?" Dark yelled smacking the Stallion on the back of the head.

"Hey, I have my priorities and you got your own."

"I swear I might just get a migraine and you haven't been awake for more than three minutes." Dark said whilst rubbing his forehead with a hoof.

"Um, not to interrupt or anything but, do you to know each other?" Hash asked looking at the stallion and her C.O.

"Ah, yes introductions are in order I believe." Dark said.

....

........

...........

"Introduce yourself you damned idiot!" Dark barked (Heh) while again smacking the backside of the stallions head.

"Ow! Ok, Ok." The stallion said waving his hoof at Dark to keep him from smacking him again. Looking at both Doc and Hash the stallion sighed before putting on a friendly smile. "My name is Hunter Moon, son of Dark Moon, and I wish to thank you both for saving my life."

Author's Note

How do you do readers it's about damn time I gave away the name reveal.

Also as usual I would like to receive any and all feedback so as I may be able to plan on fixing any and all problems that I may have overlooked because, honestly I'm just writing the story as what comes to mind.
