Rebirth

..........

Beep...beep...beep.

..........

Conciousness came back slowly, along with all feeling in my body. A spreading of warmth from my chest outward as my mind dragged itself from its groggy state.

The first sound that greeted my roused conciousness was a continuous beeping to my right, a heart monitor.

I... was alive.

I felt myself smile as emotions I hadn't really felt in a long time poured out from me. Relief, happiness, elation. But those quickly left me along with my smile as my total reality dawned on me... I was caught. With my record I would looking at quite a bit of jail time. I could only hope to be expedited to the US for my former crimes there. I didn't think I could survive in a Mexican jail. I don't think I would want to survive in one.

Escape, It was my only hope. I didn't even feel any handcuffs chaining me to the bed....

'For that matter why am I not feeling any pain? How long have I been out?'

Slowly opening my eyes I was greeted by the sight of the heart monitor, the thing looked to be a rather ancient module, probably not even legally allowed to be used in any reputable US hospital. That's Mexico for you....surviving off of discards and discontinued models.

Casting my eyes around the room I noticed something rather strange about the walls and floor. Probably just my vision not having fully returned to me yet but they seemed to appear.... soft looking? They just seemed to have a texture to them that lead me to that kind of conclusion. They didn't look like any kind of wall panels I had ever seen.

Ignoring the strange walls I turned my attention back to my immediate area which didn't consist of a whole lot; no mini TV for me. There wasn't even a window, besides the heart monitor the only thing in this room was one of those L shaped hospital tables on wheels, the ones that you slid next over the bed to eat off of.

All in all it seemed like a regular if a bit on the cheap side hospital. Seemed...

As I again wondered why I was feeling absolutely no pain from what was at least three bullet wounds I brought a hand to my chest as I looked down.... one problem.

"M- My hand!"

What I had thought for a split second to be a strange looking cast was nothing but a stump. My fingers..... along with the rest of my hand were gone. In its place was a round white cylinder that ended so suddenly it was like rest of it had been chopped off with a very sharp knife.

Lifting my other arm I could see it was the exact same for that one.

"W-what di-did they do to me, m-my hand wasn't shot!" Looking downward I could see that the rest of my body was the same uniform white as the stumps. And it wasn't clothes.

"W-what the hell!"

Violently shaking in fear and confusion I started to hyperventilate, the heartbeat monitors beeping speeding up with it.

"H-have t-t-to get out o-of here"

Throwing my weight to one side I attempted to stand up from the bed only to fall down to the floor, the heartbeat monitor flatlining as its connectors were ripped from my chest. Catching myself with my front stumps which surprisingly didn't hurt. I tried to stand again, once again falling forward when I was about three fourths of the way up.

I suddenly heard what sounded like several pairs of feet rushing towards the door in front of me, no doubt drawn by the shrill screeching of the heartbeat monitor.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to see the people who operated on me, them having for seemly no reason amputated my hands and feet along with doing.... something to my skin.

'Not like I have a choice' I thought, just as the door opened.

"What the fuck!"

Whatever I was expecting, it definitely didn't match up with what came through that door. It wasn't human, instead what came in was some sort of quadruped; a good foot or so taller than me, Yellow in colour with orange hair.

"Sweet Celestia, what language." It talked! It fucking talked!

"W-What the hell are you!" I screamed as I backed away from it, searching in vain for something to use as a weapon. The only objects in the room being the heart monitor and table, both being too unwieldy to fit the role.

"What? What do you mean? Calm down dear, no ones going to hurt you." She'?' said slowly advancing towards me.

Behind her I see two more quadrupeds enter the room, one substantially taller than the others.

"What seems to be the matter son?" The larger dark gray one asks who I assume is a male by the deep voice and size difference. He also seems to be wearing a white doctors coat, except it was tailored to fit a quadruped. Noticing my aggressive stance and expression he leans towards an pure violent coloured female and whispers something in her ear before she nods and hurriedly exits the room. As she did so the yellow one moved closer, something I didn't take to lightly.

"Get the fuck away from me!" I said, swinging my right.. stump towards her. I was too far away to hit her but she flinched back anyways.

"Hey! There's no need for that, we're trying to help you. Just tell us what's wrong"

"Y-you are! What t-t-the hell are you?" I was starting to hyperventilate again.

"A doctor. I'm here to help you, now listen to me. Just calm down."

The violet one came back, a syringe held aloft in her... wing? I hadn't really noticed till now but the other two also seemed to have wings, only they were still furled at their sides.

The male opened his own wing, taking the syringe from the other; somehow grasping it with the tips of his feathers... as impossible as that seemed.

"This will help you calm down, just hold still son." He murmured softly as he drew closer, nurses coming at me from his sides.

As my glare settled on him the violet one to his left sprang forward surprising me. I snapped a quick right at her face as she moved to tackle me, a satisfying meaty thud sounding along with a gasp of pain from her and ones of surprise from the others. I moved in to follow it up with a heavy left hook but was quickly tackled to the ground by the dark gray one.

"Get the fuck off me cocksucker!" I screeched as I did my best to batter his head with my limbs... failing to make much progress there I fell back to option #2.

"AHHHHH!" He howled in pain as he backed the hell off, missing some meat off his front left leg; syringe clattering to the floor.

"Oh dear Celestia!" The yellow one exclaimed, her hooves'?' over her mouth. Now that I mention it, they did kind of look like horses, minus the strange human like faces.

Seeing my chance I quickly grab for the fallen syringe. Though forgetting I no longer had fingers I only manage to knock it towards the one that had first attempted to tackle me. Grabbing it she faced me with a dangerous glare on her face, ruined by the quickly darkening bruise around her tightly shut left eye.

Glancing towards the others I could see that neither of them would be a immediate problem, the so called doctor was preoccupied with wrapping his coat around his deeply bleeding leg as the yellow and orange female seemed to be stuck in a state of disbelief. I just had to deal with miss evil eye here.

As if reading my thoughts she started steadily advancing towards me, syringe held in a threatening manner. I couldn't engage her directly, she had both a weapon along with reach over me. So I had to take her by surprise.

Slowly backing towards the bed I waited till she got within a arms length, then as fast as I could manage I wrenched the  cover off the bed and onto her, it didn't manage to cover her but it distracted her enough for me to bat the sharp needle out from her wings grip. Taking full advantage of her surprise I swung both of my limbs repeatedly at her face and any place else I could reach. Evil eye didn't exactly take it laying down though swinging her own front limbs at me, planting quite a few painful hits. My face and chest area throbbing in pain I started to put more of my weight behind my hits as I somehow managed to wrestle her to the floor before I felt a sharp jab of pain in my hind quarters. Spinning in place I saw the yellow female quickly backing away from me, syringe gripped in wing; the plunger all the way down.

I managed a entire three steps towards her before falling to my stomach, darkness encompassing my vision as I slipped back into unconsciousness.
