Washed Up

“Found anything yet?” The princess asked a pair of guards.

“Actually we have, um in the cargo hold were dozens of empty crates along with a manafest” A unicorn mare in golden armour said as she handed the the manifest to the giant pony.

“Hmm well this is fascinating. .. anything else?” She asked.

“Yes actually, we discovered this letter among the remains of the Captain’s quarters and the weirdest thing is that the Flag that was on the top of the mast was a pre Equestria flag” The pegasus stallion said as he produced the letter, which Celestia collected and nodded.

“Thank you, keeping checking as there may be secret compartments” Celestis explained before she turned and walked to the edge of the ship and used her wings to float down, landing in front of a eight foot nine tall midnight blue Alicorn mare with a flowing blue mane that resembled the night sky, she wore a azure dress with onyx jewellry. Her dress hugged her large curves as her midnight wings hugged her back.

“Discover anything of importance Sister?” The shorter Alicorn questioned.

“Yes actually, several piece of paper work, a letter and a interesting flag” Celestia explained. “How is our friend going Luna?” She asked concerned.

“He is going alright, his torso, legs and waist are badly bruised, several tattoos cover his body… um oh some letters and paperwork were discovered in his clothes along with a wallet and a phone, which is beyond repair” Luna explained as she rubbed her chin. “Also he is supposed to awake some time today” Luna explained.

“Alright well we best read over what we have collected before we talk to Mr Lex” Celestia said, gaining a nod from her sister.

(Nearby Hospital)

The smell of bleach and soft beeping along with the glare from a nearby window roused the badly injured man from his sleep with a pained groaned.
“Where am I?” he asked as he slowly looked around the white room “A hospital?” he questioned as he attempted to sit up, only achieving sharp pain to shoot through his limbs and chest, causing him to drop back down onto the bed.

“You're awake?” a voice asked making Lex look to the far end of the room to see a dark grey stallion in golden armour was sitting down in a chair with a magazine in his lap.

“Yea… how long have I been out?” He asked as the guard rose from his seat and walked over before taking a small device and using it to raise half of the hospital bed so Lex was sitting up. “Thanks”

“No worries, and nearly twenty four hours” He explained as he pressed a button. “Nurse should be here soon” He said as he walked back over to his seat and resumed reading his magazine.

“Okay” Lex said as he relaxed on the bed before the door opened and a lime unicorn mare in a white nurse outfit entered quickly.

“Is everything okay?” She asked the guard.

“He is awake” The guard said without looking up.

“Oh good” She said before turning to Lex and giving him a soft kind smile before she walked over to the man and checked all the devices he was connected to before she turned off the heart monitor and gently took his wrist and watched her wrist watch for a few moments before she made a face. “The machine is malfunctioning, you heart rate is down… but I don't know if that is normal for you or not” She muttered to herself before looking at the man’s face. “Good Afternoon”

“Hey, um how bad are my injuries?” he asked her.

“Well several broken ribs, broken leg, internal bleeding and a cracked skull… it is also suspected that you may be suffering from memory loss so I am just gonna ask you a few questions” She said, gaining a nod from the man before she walked to the end of the bed and collected a clipboard from the end of the bed. “Ready?”

“As I'll ever be” Lex said.

“Okay… What is your full name?” She asked.

“Lex … um… “ He started only to stop and frown as he did his best to remember.

“It's okay, don't over work yourself right now” The nurse said. “How old are you?” She asked.

“I think 26… I think” He said with a shrug only to winch as pain shot through him.

“Okay” She said writing down what he said. “Names of your parents?” She asked only for Lex to shake his head. “Any Siblings?” she added, only for him to shrug. “Children or partners?”

“No I'm sorry Nurse” He sighed, causing her to frown slightly.

“It’s okay, um well already know you are male so…” She started only for the door to open, revealing Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy and three other mares.

“He’s awake” Twilight said as the group walked over to the bed. “How are you feeling?” Twilight asked.

“Sore” He stated.

“Is there anything that he can be given to help with the pain?” Fluttershy asked the nurse.

“Not at the moment as the Princess has decided to have let him be put on a experimental magic infused medicine to repair the damages, in a few days he will be right as rain” The nurse explained.

“Experimental?” Lex asked confused.

“Yes, normally it is saved for dragons and other races with tough skin… the Princess said it would not be a good idea for Mr Lex to be put into surgery as we have never experienced a human before and she would rather have him operated on by Canterlot surgeons if the need arose” The nurse explained.

“Fair enough…” Lex said as he forced himself to sit up. “So when can I get out?” He asked.

“When I deem that you are not a threat to my little ponies” A regal voice said making the group look to the door, while the guard stood up straight and saluted, standing in the doorway were two tall wing unicorns.

“Princess Celestia!” Twilight said excitedly as the alabaster Princess walked over with a soft smile.

“Hello Twilight Sparkle, may you and your friends please excuse us so we may speak to Mr Lex by ourselves” She said as the Midnight blue Alicorn walked over after signalling for the guard to leave.

“But Princess” Twilight said only for Celestia sigh.

“Twilight this is a matter of national security” The second Alicorn said. “So please leave” She added which Twilight looked to Celestia for support.

“Quickly now” Celestia said as the ponies left the room, leaving the two Alicorns by the human.

“Um hi” Lex said nervously to the two giantesses.

“Greetings” The Midnight Alicorn said.

“Now that we are alone, do you remember how you came to be on that ship?” Celestia asked.

“All I remember is waking up in pain in a dark room” Lex explained.

“Alright” Celestia said.

“What do you mean Alright? Aren't you going to question me further to see if I may be lying?” He asked.

“No need, for you see that ‘medicine’ is infused with a powerful yet temporary truth potion also known as ‘Sinner’s Confession’ .” The second Alicorn explained.

“Next question, do you intend to cause any harm or sexually assault any pony?” Celestia asked with a stern expression.

“I'd only hurt people if they are threatening my life or my interests and no I wouldn't sexually assault anyone… i feel sick at the thought” Lex explained which Celestia and the other Alicorn glared at him for a moment before the taller Alicorn’s horn glowed gold while Lex’s body was surrounded in a similar aura moments before all the tightness and pain in his body vanished.

“Alright well that should fix most of the problems, you'll still have a limp for a long time and a lack of your previous experiences” Celestia explained.

“Um okay then… so what happens now?” Lex asked.

“Well my dear sister Luna has asked to help you regain your memory as she is adept In matters of dreams and such so that may help and also you shall be staying in Ponyville where my student and her friends shall assist you with getting on your feet” Celestia explained.

“Okay that seems fair I guess” He stated before looking out the window.

“What is wrong?” Luna asked stepping forward.

“feels like I have failed to do something important and I…” He started only to stop mid sentence and sigh. “I really want to be off this truth potion” He said to them, which made the sisters look to each other before Celestia walked to the door and opened it.

“Mr Lex is fit enough to leave now” She said before she looked back to Lex. “Luna and I shall take our leave now and leave you in the care of Twilight and her friends” Celestia said receiving a confused look from her sister.

“Ahh yes farewell, I shall see you soon” Luna said with a quick wave before the pair left the room.

“That went well” Celestia said as the pair walked down the hospital halls before Luna grabbed her by the arm. “What?” She asked looking to her sister confused.

“What in mother’s name are you doing?” Luna asked visibly irritated.

“What do you mean Luna?”

“We agreed that we would at least inform him of where that ship came from in an attempt to jog some memory for his sake” Luna said.

“Yes we could but when we were in there, it occurred to me that we could use this information to help find the colonial fleet that we thought Discord destroyed” Celestia explained.

“Yes I see where are coming from but it would also be smart to have their comrade with us before going and to at least have him remember them so we are not attacked”

“And why would they attack us?” Celestia asked confused.

“It has been over a thousand years and they may believe Discord is still in control here, also if you have noticed there is a lot more pink around then from before Discord was around.” Luna explained as Celestia gave her sister yet another confused look. “Discord uses pink a lot so they may believe that our fleet, which I will point out has a lot of pink, is his so they may destroy it”

“They wouldn't do something so crazy as th… oh right they may believe they are dealing with Discord.” Celestia said gaining a nod from Luna. “Okay I well you work on his memories and I shall see to figuring out where these Pre- Equestrians are located.” Celestia said to her sister.

“Agreed” Luna said.

(Hospital Room)

“Okay so just need to…” Lex said as he slipped out of the bed only to have his arm snagged on the iv tube connected to his arm, resulting in the needle being ripped from his arm. “FUCK!” he shouted in pain and gripped his arm just as several ponies ran it.

“What's wrong!” Twilight asked as she ran over with her friends.

“Nothing just being a idiot” He said as he pulled his hand away revealing his bleeding are which caused a alabaster unicorn mare with a curly purple mane and tail in a long white dress, with a open front that revealed most of her double d cup breasts and a strange tattoo on her left breast, to faint.

“Ah crap Rarity!” Applejack said before tending to her friend.

“What did you do silly?” a bouncing pink mare with pink poofy hair in a baby blue top and green shorts asked as her large breasts bounces with her.

“Ahh just accidentally ripped the iv from my arm… um are you wearing a bra?” he asked.

“No silly it's a tuesday and I am Pinkie Pie” She said as Lex cocked an eyebrow.

“Um okay then and I'm Lex” He said to her as he offered his hand, only for the mare to suddenly bear hug him. “You know I am still sore” He added causing the mare to let go.

“Sorry” She said.

“It's fine… and you are?” Lex asked the rainbow maned pegasus giving the man a death stare.

“Your worse nightmare” She said crossing her arms.

“Hmmm nah your not ugly enough” Lex said to the five foot three blue pegasus mare. “So why are you my nightmare?” He asked.

“I will be if you hurt my friends” She threatened.

“Right… so got a name or will you just be dubbed angry rainbow?” He asked as she glared at him.

“Rainbow Dash” She said to him.

“There now was that so hard?” he asked her as he offered his hand. “I'm Lex, and I won't hurt your friends as I am alive because of them” He added.

“Fair enough” She said shaking his hand.
