Blood was everywhere. Tact was up in the middle tower, the sky has turned orange, the Wonderbolts and Griffons are dropping bombs, Minotaurs are throwing boulders, everyone was dying. Cloaked Eyes had seen some things, she had one of if not the most messed up past. Her own mom had tried to kill her until she had to kill her just to survive. Her dad was arrested for mass murder, and would have killed her as a hostage if she didn't stab him in the arm. But this, everywhere she looked, death. She could almost be considered a friend of death, but this was too much when combined with the shattering feeling in her spine. She snapped as she was plunging the spear of a dead guard into the shoulder of a Yak when it snapped, and almost got her skull shattered by his hoof. She felt a warm set of legs around her as she was thrown back. Then, Jagged dagger plunged her namesake into his neck, and pulled it out and sliced the forelegs off another one. She was always like the mother she always wanted. The one who wouldn't kill her, but who would kill for her. She had been through too much, and it had all caught up with her. She was frozen. The world kept moving around her, but she couldn't catch up no matter how hard she tried. Jagged was now carrying her on her back. Her back hurt more then everything she had ever felt together, both physical and emotional. She had never broken a bone, but she could tell that her spine was in two. The pain was too much, and she passed out.

"NO!" Dagger just saved Eyes from death, but her spine might be broken. Poor pegasus. She spun, the blood of the 2 Yaks coming off her coat, and sliced through half of another Yak throat. She was then faced with a real problem. A Minotaur was charging right at her and Eyes, and Eyes was in no shape to move. She charged back, jumping off Yak backs, ans landed around the Minotaur's shoulder, swinging around and slicing his spine via his neck. There was a roar of pain, and she plunged the dagger into the opening she had just made and held it there until they were on the ground. There was a bellow from behind, so she spun to come face- to-knee with another one, just to have her muzzle broken with a kick. The Minotaur was about to stomp her, but got overrun by 3 Griffons. There was then a large boulder coming down on her, but a transparent pink wall came up, wedging a tiny hole in between it and the boulder right where she was, saving her. Once again, saved by one of Hacksaw's many contraptions. It was all she could do to not start crying from the pain coming from her dislocated muzzle. Sharpened Blade was carrying her out before she knew it, and she saw Hacksaw doing the same for Cloaked Eyes. She couldn't talk, or she would have. Curse this godless battle. Them being now safe, she allowed herself to let the pain take her into a comatose state. In other words, she passed out.

"Eyes! Dagger! Talk to me!" Came Blade's worry.

"Eyes has pulse."

"Don't die on us! Not now!"

"Dagger's alive too. We have to get them to Tact. Come on!" Hacksaw picked up Eyes, and Sharpened did the same for Dagger. They sprinted to the gate, but it didn't open. So, Hacksaw used his wing to get a device from his bag. He pulled out a device that could lift anything, as long as someone was strong enough to pump it up. He set it up, then gave control of it to Blade. "Pump this petal!" Blade put his hoof on the petal, and started pumping furiously. The lifting platform and gate made contact, and the gate began to lift. The extending spring cleared enough room for Hacksaw to fit with the mare on his back, but Blade was about a head taller, so he passed Dagger under on her back, then went back to battle. Hacksaw went to work stabilizing them both with syringes he had put aside in his bag of tricks. Good, they would both be alive as long as they would need. He was greeted by a paramedic, who layed some supplies around.

"What's wrong with them?" He instantly recognized Nurse Redheart's voice, but now was not the time.

"Older one obvious. Younger, I'm not sure."

"Spinal snap. Give me what I say, when I say. Got it?" He quickly nodded, and got next to the white mare. "Brace." He gave the wooden brace. "Bandage." He gave, and she moved to Jagged. She thought for a second, then opened Dagger's mouth. He could see blood pooled inside, and a tooth was floating in said blood. "Give me the hose, then turn on the metal device in the other bag." He gave her the end of the plastic hose, and opened her bag. He saw multiple knobs.

"Which one?"

"The one on the bottom. Hurry!" He turned the knob, and the device started up. There was a low growl, and the tube filled with red. There was a loud slam as the door burst open. Tact ran through, landing right next to the medic.

"What happened?!" An uncharacteristic spike of emotion in his voice.

"Minotaur broke her muzzle. Griffons probably killed him by now." Came Hacksaw's answer.

"And Eyes?" The emotion was gone now.

"Yak broke her spine, another might have cracked her skull. In that order, I might add.

"Where did she get hit in the head?" Came Redheart's voice.

"aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Came the screams of falling cyan wonderbolt, with a damaged wing from a flying boulder. She, along with 2 more fell. One of them had taken the hit straight on, the other of the 2 had damaged a wing. A yellow mare, with broken tinted goggles was the one who took it head on. A white stallion, along with a cyan mare with a rainbow mane, damaged a wing. The hit was dead on and unseen, and they all took a bad fall. No doubt more broken bones from it. There was a group of Yaks closing in, so he jumped in and swung his ax, cutting off one head and through another. The third one nearly shattered his arm, but was blocked by his ax. Then, he spun the ax and hit the Yak square on the face, spinning it back. He then jumped, and brought the ax down on his spine. The 3 pegasi were now behind a nearby rock, and the cyan mare known as Rainbow Dash seemed to take the least damage through it all. He ran over.

"You 3 okay?"

"Does it look like we are?" Rainbow was the only one who would talk. the yellow one was unconcious, and white stallion was in no condition to talk, with a completely shattered knee and backwards leg.

"Good point. Sorry I asked. I'm guessing you can't move?"

"If you carry one, I can get the other. I landed on my back, my legs are fine." This roused a pained groan from the stallion.

"Speak for yourself."

"Just shut up and get on my back." He trotted over, and lay down by the injured Wonderbolt. As he half crawled his way on, he saw Rainbow lift the yellow one onto her back, noticing how the wings are bent into a tangle of twists, turns, and a dead career as a Wonderbolt. No wonder she was so snappy. She was resisting the urge to go into a coma by trying to keep at least an honorary position in the Wonderbolts. He could feel the pain of Rainbow lifting somepony on to her back.

"Hey, I can carry 2. You go ahead." With that, the other pegasus was on her back and he was running to the gate as fast as he could without dropping anypony. He dodged around the bodies, disembodied bones, and random large chunks of flesh. He was targeted by a Yak, then the Yak was picked up by a Griffon and he just kept going. It was really hard to carry 2 pegasi through an active warfront. This was all-out war. Death was everywhere, and it was literally taking all his energy to avoid it himself. He finally reached the gate, where 2 griffons took the Wonderbolts on his back, and a 3rd one picked him up. They placed him on the wall, and he ran down to the gate where Rainbow was crying her eyes out, but it probably wasn't from the pain. Her wings were just being finished being bandaged with a brace on each one. There were bleeding spots where the bone pierced through the wing in several places. The other 2 Wonderbolts were asleep in the corner. Raindow, at the sight of him, looked away instantly, going silent and wiped her face. When she looked back, you couldn't even tell in the slightest that she had been crying.

"Relax. We're all elite military operatives here. We know how it is. Do your thing." With that, rainbow went back to her crying over her career.

"I'm up, anyways." Jagged Dagger was awake, and very terrible at talking. She slurred her words brutally.

"You sure you should be talking? It doesn't sound healthy."

"It isn't." Came Redheart into the conversation.

"So, what happened to Eyes?"

"Turns out, a simple version is that she has a broken spine, 2 cracks around the break, a major concussion, and a really bad coma. Not sure if she'll make it through. Luckily, she's not a unicorn. We can use magic to help, but no guarantees." That sent a grim wave of silence, then Tact walked into the room.

"How exactly did the best wonderbolts of history wind up half-dead from Yaks and Minotaurs?"

"Boulder came out of nowhere. Not our fault." Rainbow responded. Another wave of silence.

"I should probably go back to doing my job." Blade was quickly followed by Hacksaw.

"Me too. I have some pretty awesome stuff I still haven't used." With that they left into the now fading battle.
