A Burning Tale

A half year passed and I saw so much pain already... The Ponies I had to hurt... The innocent souls I hear screaming every single day... It's driving me crazy knowing how much pain this place brings.
But today... today happened something completely different. After I cleaned my scalpels and the other stuff I heard an Emergency calling through the speakers.

"Lucky! prepare the surgery we have a wounded fella coming in!"

Her voice was filled with fear.. probably because a wounded Pegasus was found outside of the Factory which didn't belong to us as a worker. A bit later two Ponies pushed a table into the room with a white Pegasus laying on it.. unconscious and heavily bleeding. I ordered the two to place him on the cleaned table and to get my tools.

"Ok, I need a Sitrep!"

"broken and burned wings.. multiple broken bones.. and he's unconscious!"

"Ok, that's all I need to know for now... Morphine and narcosis I need to operate and get me the Metal Wings!"

One of the Ponies left the room to bring me a pair of Metal wings to transplant as the Nurse grabbed two syringes. The Nurse injected both into the body of the Pony before I slowly moved a scalpel towards his body. shortly before I cut in, the Pony gasped and rapidly opened his eyes.

"Whoa! calm down you'll be Ok!"

"Hello, where exactly am I and what happened?"

I stared at the Stallion surprised about his calm reply... He had wounds all over him but still talked as calm as nothing happened.

"Trust me you don't want to know... And I'm sorry to do this but I'll save your life through this... now lay back down please."

The Stallion looked at me and through the room before replying.

"What do you mean?..."

I look at the Nurse and then at the two syringes.

"Why doesn't it work?... did you give him the full dose?"

She looked at the Stallion surprised and couldn't believe he's conscious again when he wasn't meant to.

"Y-yes I did! but how is he awake now?!"

I gently pushed the Stallion down and ordered the Nurse to give him another dose which -what a surprise- didn't work either.

"I'm so sorry but this will hurt now... you were meant to be in narcosis but that somehow doesn't work."

The Shadow Pony bashed into the room again and placed the Metal wings on a table next to me. I placed a small mask over my mouth and slowly cut off the burned and broken wings. The Stallion screamed and wiggled trying to escape. I stopped for a moment to wipe away my sweat.

"Shall we fix him onto the table?"

"......Yes, there is no other way..."

The Nurse strapped two thick leather belts across the Stallion before I continued cutting of the wings. He started to scream again what filled the whole room. I pressed my ears against my head trying to ignore the screams of pain and concentrating on my work.

Two Hours passed and I finally finished transplanting the Metal wings onto his body. I took off the mask and placed the scalpel back on the tools table before taking a deep breath.

"There... W-we're done... Now I just have to.."

I pushed a button on each wing which activated an electrical impulse to connect to the nerve system. The Stallion held back two screams and stood up again before being restrained by the Shadow Pony.
I looked at the Shadow Pony and shake my head. The Shadow Pony quickly frees Him and I signalize both to leave the room.
After they left I had some time to talk to the Stallion.

"Well... What is your name by the way?"

I asked while cleaning my instruments. He looked back at his new Mechanical Wings and sighed.

"Junkie... Junkie Play... and what's your name?"

"Lucky L. Flame... but just call me Flame for now."

I said before moving the tables away and walking up to Junkie.

"I'm sorry you landed in here... but I give you one advice... Don't. Question. Her. Orders."

I walk past him and out of the door before hearing Miss Dash calling for me. I sigh and take off leaving Junkie behind. He was brought to the 'Hammer' as I call it where he had to work for the rest of his life.
