Walk through the Storm

Chapter 5

As Sunset was loaded into the ambulance. a loud snap was heard by everyone within earshot. The paramedics were able to pin point where the noise had come from and one started feeling one of her legs, confirming that her leg was in fact, broken.

"What the?" Was all he had gotten out when another snap was heard, this time being somewhere in chest, also several cuts and bruises started to show up all over her body. "What the hell!?"

Both the paramedics stepped back as Sunset's body grew more injuries, cuts and bruises appeared out of no where, then the injuries became more serious. Bullet holes appeared along side more serious lacerations and bruising, Sunset's entire ribcage broken, some turned bone dust but others proved to be more dangerous as they held most of their form. The paramedics compromised to simply deal with the injuries as they come.

"Hey, call in that there is a change of status on the girl!" One the paramedics called to the driver.

"What's changed?" The driver asked as he picked up his radio.

"I don't know, just let them know that she is more injured than we thought and to prep Trauma." The Paramedic responded as he tried reset the dislocated shoulder again.

--

As the ambulance slowed down at the emergency drop off, a three doctors were waiting for what would be coming out of it.

"What do you think had happened to the patient?" Doctor Mending Bones asked Doctor Calm Mind.

"I don't know, the original call was that she was shot in the neck, but now it had changed to unknown, I have a feeling that we are about to see something none of us has seen before." Doctor Calm Mind responded, concern etched into his face.

"Whatever it is, we need to do our best to save that girl's life." Doctor Helpful Aid said as she approached the ambulance.

The Ambulance door burst open while the doctors approached, the paramedics lowered Sunset out of the ambulance.

"What's her condition-*Spray*" Doctor Helpful Aid was cut off by a stream of blood spraying out of Sunsets leg from a cut that wasn't there before. All the doctors looked to the paramedics for some sort of answer.

"Constantly worsening." Was all the only response they got as they wheeled Sunset into the hospital.

--

The Hospital doors opened as the Humane Five, Principle Celestia, Vice Principle Luna, and finally Princess Twilight Sparkle. All of which looked concerned as they approached the desk.

"Um, hello, we are here to see Sunset Shimmer, she was brought in about an hour ago." Principle Celestia said to the nurse behind the desk.

"Please wait over there until the doctors working on her come for you." The nurse told Celestia, pointing over to the waiting area.

After about 20 minutes of waiting a doctor comes rushing over to them, her surgical gown covered in blood.

"You all are close to my patient?" The doctor asked.

"I am, please tell me, is she alright?" Twilight asked the doctor, worry evident on her face.

"I don't know how to tell you this miss, but while she is still alive, we don't know how to treat her." The doctor said forlornly.

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked.

"I mean that wounds and injuries are literally appearing all over her body, we stitch up one cut, only to have two more to appear right over it." The doctor stated, frustration could be seen plainly on her face.

"Lash out." Twilight said, a look of dawning and fear flew across her face.

"You know what is happening!?" The Doctor was both confused and happy, confused because there was not a single medical professor in the building knew what was happening to Sunset. "Please tell me what we have to do, she may die without this information!"

"It is a common dilemma back home, when a... child feels threatened and cornered, they go through what is called Arcana Vehement Surge, or Lash Out as it is more commonly known as." Twilight said as she followed the doctor through the hospital. "It sends person undergoing Lash Out into a frenzy, very few incidents had resulted only in injury as it not only increases speed, strength, and reflexes, but also loosens their morals."

"Remarkable, it sounds almost impossible, but yet it matches the police report we received." The doctor said, baffled, but was still listening.

"If you think that is impossible, wait till you hear this, it put the body into a stasis, the body will never change, there was an incident when a building fell on top of little boy who was undergoing Lash Out, he punched his way through the building." Twilight said, taking great pleasure in see the bewildered look on the doctors face, before it turned to skepticism.

"That is completely impossible, there is no way how the body put itself into a stasis will still allowing the body movement- what are you doing?" The doctor rant was cut off by Twilight's hand started glowing. "Why is your hand- AHH! PUT ME DOWN, WHAT IS HAPPENING!"

Twilight giggled at the frantic doctor she was levitating. "Both me and Sunset are from a place where magic not only exists, but also is a heavily studied practice."

"OKAY, I BELIEVE YOU, JUST PUT ME DOWN!" The doctor screamed, several other doctors, nurses, and patients stared mesmerized by the scene.

"Okay okay." Twilight giggled as she let the doctor float down to the floor. "Now then, shall we continue, my friend is in desperate need of help, and if I don't get to her soon, she will likely die.

The doctor saw the seriousness in Twilights eyes, but one thing still lingered in her mind. "Alright, but let's continue talking, you said that it puts the body into a stasis, so that what, prevents her from being hurt?"

"For a time." Twilight said, sadness showing in her eyes. "The stasis takes all the damage you release unto the person undergoing Lash Out, and waits for the person to either feel safe, or fall asleep, then the stasis would slowly apply the injuries to the body."

"So you mean..." The doctor trailed off, realizing just how much danger Sunset is in.

"It means if I don't remove the stasis from Sunset, she will gain all of the injuries she had taken on through out the Lash Out." Twilight confirmed as they pushed the door open into the room where Sunset was being held.

"Doctor Aid, who is this?" Doctor Mending Bones asked.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle and I know how to treat Sunset, and unless you want your hand to remain embedded into my friend, I suggest you remove it." Twilight said her hands glowing as she reached for Sunset.

"Are you crazy! If I remove my hand, her artery will burst, again!" Doctor Mending Bones yelled at her, but was thrown into the wall behind him by an unknown force.

"Anyone else?" Twilight asked, her eyes glowing white.

Everyone in the room, aside from Mending Bones, got to work of removing all the tools they had placed inside Sunset, for they fear what Twilight would do to them if they didn't comply.

"Hands clear!" Twilight yelled, everyone drew back and watched Twilight go to work.

Sunset's body glowed lavender, the injuries Sunset had obtained vanished into thin air, glowing yellow sparks flew off Sunsets body, floating down on top of her like fireflies. When the glowing died down, Sunset was in perfect health, but Twilight was staring at her with wide eyes, shaking her head.

"Miss, what's wrong, did something happen?" Doctor Helpful Aid asked as the rest of the staff prepped to apply their expertise.

"Nothing physical, just... it's just that Sunset's mind is in shambles, I can't if she'll remember what happened, or if she would go into another Lash Out when she wakes up." It wasn't the whole truth, Twilight saw something else, one she only saw in the other four alicorns, a constantly replenishing soul.

A normal soul would slowly diminish over time, decay and then eventually dissipate. An Alicorn soul does not, it never decays and, despite through extensive attempts to do so that Twilight knows of in recent history, which make the Alicorn soul immortal in every aspect of the word.

"Oh Sunset, what has come of you?" Twilight said, sorrow plastered on her face as she stared at the newest Alicorn Princess, idly wondering how Sunset was going to take the news of having to be taken back home, to Equestria.
