El Mercenario y Ella Asesina
Medicine is to fix, questions are to be answered.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterŹaira: POV
It's been two days since the attack. My wounds have been treated by the kind ponies. I had to remove my clothes and equipment. I felt kinda naked without it. That has to be the first for me in such a long time.
But at least I get to keep my grey shirt and black pants on. Otherwise, I would have been really naked and wear one of this hospital gowns.
My brother, on the other hand, is in a coma after his surgery, I feel hopeless at the moment but not for long. He'll wake up soon, just not today.
In those two days, I had grabbed all of our equipment and stashed it back the car. The car in question is just outside of the hospital. I had to activate the security system just in case if anyone tried to touch it or to steal it.
But, I kept my pistol just in case. Who knows, maybe another attack can happen at any given moment.
I feel tired like a grooving log, hell, I can throw pain into the mix because my limbs are killing me.
I had to get out of this bed, and so I did and exited the room. I want to see my brother. I turned a right down the hallway and made left at the end of it. I pass, Nurses, doctors, patients, and a few security guards. Some even tried to stop me, the word tried doesn't come close. I had to knock a few teeth…and a few bones.
What!? There wouldn't let me see my brother for crying out loud!?
Half of the stuff that saw me had either bowed or lowered their head in respect or fear. I ignore them and continue moving forward. I look at the letter and numbers on the doors.
'A12, A13, A14, A15, A16…A16' I opened door A16 and enter the room. I saw my brother laying down on the bed with an oxygen tube going down his throat. He had bandages on his body, his wings were spread across with bandage wrapped around. I grabbed a chair from the far right corner of the room and placed it next to my brothers' bed. I sat down and lay my head on his arm and slowly being to stock his smooth and silky fur. It felt kinda, nice in a way, peaceful, even.
"When we were young
We were the ones
The kings and queens
Oh yeah, we ruled the world
We smoked cigarettes
Man no regrets
Wish I could relive
Every single word,"
I felt my heart ache when I start to sing in a low and whispery tone.
"We've taken different paths
And traveled different roads
I know we'll always end up with the same one when we're old
And when you're in the trenches
And you're under fire I will cover you,"
With each word I sang, I could feel tears dripping down my cheeks.
"If I was dying on my knees
You would be the one to rescue me
And if you were drowned at sea
I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe
I've got you brother-er-er-er
I've got you brother-er-er-er
I've got you brother-er-er-er
I've got you brother-er-er-er
Oh, brother, we'll go deeper than the ink
Beneath the skin of our tattoos
Though we don't share the same blood
You're my brother and I love you
That's the truth
We're living different lives
Heaven only knows
If we'll make it back
With all our fingers and our toes
5 years, 20 years, come back
It will always be the same
If I was dying on my knees
You would be the one to rescue me
And if you were drowned at sea
I would give you my lungs so you could breathe
I've got you brother-er-er-er
I've got you brother-er-er-er
And if we hit on troubled water
I'll be the one to keep you warm and safe
And we'll be carrying each other
Until we say goodbye on our dying day
Because I've got you brother-er-er-er
I've got you brother-er-er-er
I've got you brother-er-er-er
I've got you brother-er-er-er
If I was dying on my knees
You would be the one to rescue me
And if you were drowned at sea
I would give you my lungs so you could breathe
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I've got you brother-er-er-er
I've got you brother-er-er-er,"
When I came to a stop I heard the door crept open. I turned my head and noticed a Doctor coming in with a clipboard. His fur was a light shade of brown with dark brown mane and tail wearing a doctors uniform.
"How is he, Doctor?" I asked rubbings the tear away.
"…his stable, but If I had known better he should have died from the wounds he received from the fight?" The Doctor said rubbing his chin in question.
I wasn't surprised, knowing my brother he can fight even if he's injured. Damn you, Delgado for training him.
"What are his injuries?"
"Well, both of his wings are damaged, not broken mind you, just fractured. 3 broken ribs, fractured both of his claws, left leg has some minor nerve damage, small internal bleeding in the left side of his stomach, and a punctured Lung."
Shit, I don't know it was that bad.
*KNOCK*
*KNOCK*
*KNOCK*
"Come in," The Doctor said.
The door open and came in 4 ponies in golden armor with spears by their side into the room.
"We are here to take the Alicorn to the Princesses." One of the guards said.
The Doctor was about to respond, but was cut off when stood up from my seat and said, "tall your princess they can come here themselves."
I grabbed hold on my gun and cocked the hammer back.
"I would do no such thing, you either coming with us or will take you forcefully." The first guard said as he ready himself for a fight. The other guards followed suit and ready themselves with their spears in hand.
"This is a hospital there will be no fighting in h-"
"Sorry, Doctor, but orders are orders, take her!" I aimed my pistol above one of the guards head and fired.
*BANG*
All 4 guards duck and drop there weapons covering their ears in pain. The Doctor did as well.
"Don't even fucking think about it. Your so-called Princess can come and talk directly to me. I'm not going anywhere even if I have to blow your fucking legs off and make you crawl back to your so-called mistress. Am. I. Cleaner." I said angrily while pocking the barrel of my gun at one of the Guards. They look like they were about to run.
'Ah, shit one of them fucking piss themselves. Oh well, not my problem.'
"Now get out of here before I really blow your fucking legs!" And so they ran with there tails right between their legs. Cowards. I bet 2 Gs that they'll lose in a battle with the gangs in Chicago.
"Y-your majesty, your b-bleeding." The Doctor said with a bit of fear in his voice.
Ugh, great I ripped one the stitches and you know what? I'm getting really tired them calling me your majesty' bullshit.
"Don't call me your majesty, Doctor. Call me Źaira." I said calmly and sat back down on the chair while holstering my pistol.
"Doctor, can you do me a favor and close up the wound, please?" I asked as I removed my shirt, revealing my white sports bra and extended my wings.
"Y-yes, your maj- I mean Źaira. I'll be back with a nurse for you." As the Doctor left the room, I turn my head to look at the Angel. I could only sigh and waited patiently.
2 minutes went by and the door squall open. I turn my head and notice, Nurse Redheart holding a tray in her hands.
"How are you doing, your majesty?" She asks while placing the tray down on the nightstand next to my brother's bed.
'again with the "your majesty" shit,' I thought as I let out stress sign.
'at least she's more sociable than the others.'
"I'm doing quite well, Nurse Redheart. Just had a few… unwanted guests in the room." I said resting my head on Angel's arm...or claw in this manner and close my eyes.
"So I've heard." Nurse Redheart said as she started getting the needle and thread ready.
"I'm going to have to put hydrogen peroxide on your wound." I could only nod at this point not caring a damn thing.
"Just do it. I don't care at the moment." I said.
In just seconds I felt the cold liquid running down my back until it made contact with the wound. I hiss in pain but I kept still as I felt Nurse Redheart soft hand rubbing my back gently.
As the pain subsides, I felt the needle go through my skin with the third following with it. This was repeated several times until the last one.
"There, all done." Nurse Redheart said in a joyful tone.
"Thank you very much, Nurse Redheart," I said getting off my seat and slowly stretch my body.
"You are very welcome, your majesty." Nurse Redheart said with a bow.
"Please, Nurse Redheart I hate it when people bow down to me," I said pinching the bridge of my nose in annoyance.
"Oh, I'm sorry, your maj-" I cut off Nurse Redheart before she can continue 'that' sentence.
"Even that! Please, I don't like being called your Majesty! I'm not higher than anyone else, I'm equal like everyone else." I said seating back down on my seat and being to rub my face in frustration.
"..."
There was a deep silence between us. Nurse Redheart looked a bit shocked at my outburst, but I didn't care she can just shove up her ass for all I care.
"Just go, please."
And she did, leaving all of her equipment behind in the process.
Half an hour later
"Remember that time when we in Ireland? That was a fun summer break. How you try to out drink an Irish woman. You end up having the worst hangover of your life!" I laughed at the memories.
Those were good times with me and my brother, probably some of the best ones of our time. It's good to talk about the funniest time of our lives.
I look at my brother, still laying down on the hospital bed with that tube down his throat.
I got off the chair and crawl into his bed and wrapped my wings around. It felt nice, sometimes I just wish for a normal life. Not a life where the pain was a common thing in daily life.
I heard a knock on the door. I could only let out an annoying sigh. "Come in," I said getting off the bed and sitting back down on the chair.
The door open and came in 4 guardsmen in golden armor, with there weapons by their side.
One of them beginning a mare. She was different than the other three. Her mane and tail were a shade dark red with a single yellow line going down the middle. Her fur was a light shade of grey and her eyes were blue.
"What do you want?" I said in annoyance while crossing my arms.
"My name is, Captain Time Star." The mare said now identified as Time Star. She bowed slightly in a respecting manner. I could only roll my eyes at this point.
"What do you want?" I asked.
Time Star stood back at attention and said, "I'm here to escort you into a more private environment to talk to our princess." lifting a brow, I stood up from my seat and walked up to the Caption. She was a bit taller than me by a few inches but it didn't matter too me. I know I can kick her ass.
I got right into her face and said in a threatening, "no, you think I'll trust your so-called guards to watch over mi hermano? Why? They didn't even show up when the town was attacked? I blame your guards for not doing their job and especially your princess. If you were to do that back in my country they would have thrown your sorry ass in prison and let the criminals rape you and kill you on the spot for letting innocent lives be taken away. You can bring your princess in here or you can just leave." I said turning around and sat back in my chair.
I could see Time Star left eye was twitch and a bit of fear.
"B-But, bu-"
"But nothing! Now get out!" I shouted making them run out the door with their tales tucked between their legs when I pulled out my gun.
Damn, I'm pulling this thing out of anger now. I need my therapist.
After a 15 minute of peace and quiet. I heard a knock on the door.
'Here we go again,' I thought and said, "come in."
The door open and came in the Guard Captain from before.
"The Princess is here to see you now," Time Star said with a bow. I looked over her shoulder and saw the princess herself. Wearing what appeared to be a type of Greek or maybe Roman style clothing with a beautiful white fabric and golden outlining. Her fur was snow as white, and her mane was a mixed of color like the rainbow, cerulean, turquoise, cobalt blue and Pale heliotrope. She has golden jewelry around some parts of her body. Her eyes are a light shade of Violet.…and she got the big guns at a wapping double D's!!
If I was a male I would have a bloody nose from all that pressure building up in my head.
But since I'm not a male, I'm female, and I don't really care. So what you have big boobs. Mine is a B for crying out loud!
"Princess Celestia of the Sun," I said in annoyance. "It's good to finally meet you in person."
"And to you as well, Young Princess of..." Celestia said in a motherly tone. Looks like the show was right, she does have a mothers tone. I wonder if she ever had any children? In the show, it never really showed anything about it?
"War." Where did that came from, better yet since when did I have a title!
Everyone in the room was shocked, hell even I was, but I didn't show it.
"...W-war, you say, miss Źaira," Celestia said in shock. Her guards were on edge know, gripping there spears tighter than before.
'Oh my god, this's ponies look like they're about to shit themselves, then again, they haven't seen a war in over 1,000 years.'
"Yes, back where I'm from, war is a daily thing. Where I grow up, there was death in every street in every city. Hell, the country went into complete chaos for Years!" I said remembering the time when we used to live in Colombia. Yes, I used to live in Colombia but had to leave the country when I was like 13 because of the ELN, FARC, and the Colombian Cartel, well what's left of the Cartel anyways.
"I was raised in a time where the government was fighting against rebels that wanted to change the country's government. The FARC and the ELN would kidnap or kill those in there way. My father was a captain in the Colombian police force, but was shot and tutored by the very people that he tried to stop." I said getting up from my seat and walked right up to Celestia's face.
"But, that's what I'm worried about. It's mi hermano I'm more worried about," I said pointing at my brother.
"And if he doesn't pull through and dies. I'm coming after you and your guards." I said with venom in my voice.
Celestia looked rather shocked that I would blame her for my brother's condition. Besides, it's really her fault because her Guards didn't do their job in the beginning. I turn to the guards in the room and downright stare at them with hateful eyes.
"You," I pointed at the Guard Captain, "Better get ready for me, cause I'm coming for ya first."

Celestia: POV
I haven't seen such aggressive attitude in a young filly in such a long time. She blames me for her guardian's condition, isn't that what a guardian needs to do? To fight in the line of battle, even if it kills them?
I walked out of the room without a word, my guards followed suit and formed a circle around me.
"Your majesty, are you alright?" I turned to my Captain and let out a disappointing sigh. "No, Captain Star. I'm a bit upset about the situation." I noticed the Captain lower down her head. It seems that her pride has been shattered into small pieces.
"Don't let the girl's words hunt you, you didn't reserve the message on time, alright," I said give the captain a small hug.
"Oh, Princess!" I stopped in my tracks and turned around to see the owner of the voice. When I did I saw the young princess with a smirk on her face.
"I would hope your faithful student Twilight Sparkle is doing okay because I didn't see her nor her assistance or even the element of loyalty during the time of the Raid." When those words left her mouth. Everything went silent.
'How could I have forgotten. She couldn't have been captured she was out in the....valley. Oh no.'
My heart skipped a beat, I looked back at the young red alicorn, she then began to form a sinister smile on her face.
"You should go find them, who knows what could happen." She said and walked back into the room without a care in the world.
"Captain, get every royal guard available this instead!" My captain and her guards saluted and rushed out of the hospital.
"Oh, Frust help me."
