[4 minutes later] - Hospital Room 12 - (Rainbow Dash)

Dash: I went to go see Red but he was still knocked out, but after about 4 minutes, he started to open his eyes.

Dashie was sitting in a chair beside Red's hospital bed as he was still resting, she looked at his wrist and saw that it was professionally stitched and bandaged up. It wasn't as swollen as it was before and the funky smell of the infection was gone but it was still a bit faint.

After a few minutes, the pegasus filly heard a small moan, her ears perked up as she looked at her brother, seeing him toss and turn in his bed a bit. "R-Red?"

The red pegasus kept moving before he slowly started to do it violently, his face becoming sweaty and full of fear as his toss and turns were getting violent like he was fighting something, his heart rate monitor was beeping fast as he started to scream bloody murder. "AH...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!"

"RED!!!!" Rainbow yelled, a female changeling doctor quickly came in and saw his heart rate elevate.

She pushed Rainbow back a bit as two stallion doctors rushed. "Stand back little filly!! STABILIZE HIM!!!!"

The stallion doctors grabbed Red to keep him still as the changeling put an oxygen mask on Red's face, giving him some so he can breathe. The red pegasus slowly stopped tossing and turning before he finally relaxed and breathed normally, the doctors all sighing of relief.

"W-What was that?!" Dashie exclaimed, the changeling looked at her.

"It was probably just shock from the gas they gave him from the surgery, but he's fine now."

The two doctors left the room while the changeling doctor stayed there as Nurse Redheart came into the room with a file in her hand, her face with pure fear. "Dr. Jewel!"

The changeling looked at her. "Yes?"

"You have got to look at this..." She raced over to her and handed her a file. "That's the file on Redsopine Prism Dash...I recently checked his blood and look at what I found in it!"

Jewel opened the file to read Red's blood report and gasped when she read what Redheart wrote, looking at the steadily breathing 13-year-old stallion in the bed. "I-Impossible..." She then whispered to Redheart. "Do you think it's the same for his sister?"

"I'm not sure...I'm nervous to find out..." The nurse whispered back.

"What is it, why are you whispering?" asked Dashie. "Is there something wrong with Red's blood?"

Redheart sighed and went on one knee to be at Dashie's eye-level. "Rainbow...it appears that Red has something that shouldn't be there in his blood..." She gave the filly the file so she could look at it.

Dashie looked at where Redheart was pointing to on the file and began to read.

Blood Results:
It appears that the patient Redsopine Prism Dash has some kind of black liquid in his blood along with the normal red and white blood cells, when I checked with genetics on what it could be, they have no idea on the matter of why his blood could be red and black. We then decided to look upon the internet on the different shades of blood. And it appeared that the black liquid found in Redsopine was not on the list. We've continued to try and research it till we came across something that says what the black liquid means...the black liquid was called Akuma...which means "demon".

Notes:
it's stated that demons can protect their skin by turning it into pure rock which can be heavy...Redsopine stated that he had had moments where his skin would harden and become very heavy and coincidentally, another patient Zero had an eye-injury and stated it happened when her face felt like it scraped on a hard piece of rock when she was flying after two suspects...if one of those suspects was Redsopine...then it's gonna be positive.

Dashie looked at Redheart. "Uhm...what's a demon?"

"It's an evil spirit...your brother has evil in his blood and part of his DNA." Redheart looked at the knocked out Red. "I'm gonna check something..." The nurse then sanitized her hands and put on a clean glove, going over to the knocked out colt, she then opened his mouth a bit and saw a few instances of razor-sharp teeth in his mouth. "Just as I figured...he is part demon...no one has teeth as sharp as this...not even a changeling..."

Jewel looked at the nurse. "Is there a way to remove the demon blood from Redsopine?"

The white unicorn shook her head, taking her gloved hand away from Red's mouth. "No we can't remove it...if we try to remove the demon blood we'll end up taking out his normal blood too...which would result in his death.

"NO!" Dashie yelled, running over to Red's bedside and hugging him. "I DON'T WANT MY BIG BROTHER TO DIE!"

Redheart put her hand on the filly's shoulder. "Don't worry, he won't...he has demon blood in his DNA...so it's not like the blood's gonna kill him anyway...he'll just have to live knowing he's part demon..."

"Oh, so that's why!" Redheart, Dashie, and Jewel all jumped a bit and turned to the bed, seeing that Red had already woken up. "By the way...could I get some water?"

Dashie gasped and hugged Red tightly, being very careful of his wrist. "Big Brother, you're okay!"

The red stallion chuckled a bit. "Of course I am...I'm just thirsty..."

"How long have you been awake?!" Jewel asked.

"Um...around the time when the nurse was sticking her fingers in my mouth..." Red deadpanned, looking at Redheart.

"I was checking to see if my expectations were correct..." The white unicorn nurse said, taking off the glove and throwing it away. "And don't fret...I sanitized my hands and I used a glove...so you're alright with having Akuma in your blood vessels?"

"Well...it's not like my life is gonna change," Red replied. "Just cuz I have demon blood in my veins doesn't mean my life would be any different."

Jewel started to think then shrugged. "I guess not..."

There was then a knock at the room door, the 3 ponies, and changeling looking at it with raised eyebrows. Dr. Jewel walked to the door and opened it, seeing a blue pegasus stallion and a gray female wolf at the door. The blue pegasus wore a black suit with a red tie and black loafers, he also wore black-rimmed eyeglasses on his face. The female wolf wore a brown leather jacket with a white buttoned-up shirt, black suit pants, and brown loafers. "Sorry folks...visiting hours are over..."

The pegasus took out something from his blazer pocket and showed it to her, revealing it to be a badge as he spoke. "Detectives Dual Blade and Virtus Darkpaw, MPSG. We're here on behalf of a patient of yours Dr. Jewel, a changeling named Zero?"

"Yeah, but she's in the room next door."

Virtus spoke this time. "We know, she messaged us on watching over a...Rainbow Dash and Redsopine Prism Dash."

"Oh, they're in here..." Jewel leads the two detectives in and looked at Red and Dashie. "Kids...this is Dual Blade and Virtus Darkpaw, they're detectives from the MPSG...they're going to watch you under orders from Zero..."

Red growled. "Of course that bitch would want to watch us like criminals."

"Watch your mouth kid...Zero she did state that you and your sister stole money from the mob along with being the ones who robbed creatures for supplies." Dual replied.

"We paid them all back, you don't have anything on us..." Red said.

"We have you on a mugging fee kid...you can't just steal a briefcase full of money then expect the guards not to find out..." Virtus replied.

"Anyway, we're only meant to watch you, Zero doesn't want us to arrest you two" Dual added. "She wanted us to get you guys out of here immediately...she's worried that King Sombra might find you."

Red turned to the window that was by his bed and looked outside, seeing few black SUVs drive and screech loudly to a stop in front of the hospital, a couple of creatures coming out armed with a bunch of guns. The red pegasus turned to the two detectives. "It's a little too late for that..."

Dual and Virtus walked over to the window and saw the ponies enter the hospital downstairs and then they suddenly heard faint gunfire coming from downstairs.

"What the fuck..." Virtus took out her Colt 1911 from inside her jacket and aimed at the door. "Dual...we got to get these kids out of here...I'll cover you."

"Hey, I have a better idea...right now the only clue they got is the color of our fur so all we got to do is dye our fur and blend in with an evacuation group to escape the fighting...besides right now it looks like someone's shooting at them...and someone should find out who told them we were here"

"Can we get a plan that could work, smartass?" Virtus asked. "They know what you look like..."

"Hey being a smartass and knowing to hide my fur when I stole a mafia gang's money is how we'll all stay alive...But again we don't have time to argue now...if someone could be so kind as to find stuff that stains fur then we can get out of here without a bullet in our heads..."

Virtus looked at him angrily and walked up to him. "Sombra wants you dead and he'll know what you two will look like dye or no dye...one more smartass remark comes out of your mouth and I'll spare him the trouble of killing you by doing it myself...”

Dual looked at her with concern. "Virtus!"

Red was unfazed, he only gave a single snicker. "Well she seems nice...I'm guessing you're the bad cop then...but then again how would I know? Most of you guards are usually on Sombra's payroll..."

Before Virtus could answer, Zero arrived at the room door wearing a jean jacket with an olive green shirt, gray sweatpants, and blue sneakers, she was pointing a Glock 19 down the hallway, looking into the room by turning her head. "Dual, Virtus, we have to get these kids out of here...Sombra's here for them..."

Virtus looked back at her. "We know, we saw the vans..."

Jewel went over to Red and carefully took out the IV from his left hand and got him up from the bed, Dual looked at the changeling doctor and Nurse Redheart as he took out a Silver Taurus PT92 with a wooden grip. "You two evacuate everyone out of the building...the Solar Guards should be here soon."

Dr. Jewel and Nurse Redheart both nodded and ran out of the room to find civilians and take them to safety. Dual and Virtus led the kids out of their room and aimed their guns in front of them.

Red made sure that Dashie was behind him so she wouldn't get hurt. 3 of Sombra's guys ran into the hallway and Dual, Virtus, and Zero quickly disposed of them with a couple of shots.

They all kept moving through the hospital, gunning down any Sombra mob member that got in their way. Once they got into the elevator, the three adults took the time to reload their guns and aimed toward the elevator doors that slowly opened, quickly putting down 5 goons.

Virtus went ahead a bit and put her shoulder against the door, she then held her hand out towards the others to tell them to wait for a bit. She slowly opened the door and just narrowly avoiding a sniper shot to the dome from a shooter on a balcony.

"Guys...there are a ton of guys along with some snipers on the stairs...as soon as I open the door...we'll make a break for the receptionist desk, got it?"

Everyone nodded as Virtus started to count backward from 3 with her fingers. As soon as her finger pointed to one, she quickly opened the door and opened fired on the assassins. Dual and Zero leading the kids to the receptionist's desk and hiding behind it.

Virtus quickly ran from the door and began to do a few front-flips to avoid a few bullets and getting behind the desk firing off two more shots. Zero looked at both of them. "You guys got a plan?"

Dual looked at her. "Yeah, shoot at the assholes!"

Zero, Virtus, and Dual popped up and fired at the goons, taking down a good number of them before more poured into the hospital.

"There's too many of them!!" yelled Zero, she then looked at the kids. "Red, Dash...get out through the backdoor of the hospital, we'll cover you!!"

"This is completely stupid!" Red yelled.

"It may be stupid but it's our best bet at getting you guys to safety!" Virtus yelled. "We'll meet with you guys later, NOW GO!!!"

Red looked around and saw a bleach bottle, he grabbed it and gave it to Dashie who took it and was quickly dragged by her brother when he grabbed her right arm with his left. The Dash Siblings both ran down the hallway while faint gunshots could be heard behind them.

They both hid in a hospital room and Red looked at Dashie. "Okay, Dashie...how do you want us to get out? Quickly but risky or careful in disguise?" When he said that he pointed to the bleach bottle the cyan filly had in her hand. "We're just gonna bleach our fur so we'll look different."

Just then they heard someone open the door, they looked behind them to see a Gallus Griffinstone, the mafia member the kids stole from, he backed them up into a wall holding an H&K 9mm USP at their heads. "Well well well...just the little shits I'm looking for..."

"You know they're two detectives and a private investigator down there that can see us and there's someone with a gun behind you right now..." Red bluffed...trying to distract him as he slowly opens the bleach bottle lid that was hidden behind Dashie's back. "Plus if you kill us...you won't get your money back..."

Gallus smirked at the 13-year-old. “You think I’m gonna fall for a trick like that, where's the money?!”

Red started to act like he was scared now. "O-Okay...come closer and I'll tell you...if I say it out loud then someone else would get the money first..."

The griffin squinted his eyes, getting closer to Red, his gun pressing into his forehead as Dashie started to cry. “One little trick and your pony brains go all over the wall...”

"Don't worry...No tricks..." He waited for the griffin to get close enough before Red quickly grabbed the bottle from Dashie's hand, ducked down, and then threw the bleach into Gallus' eyes, pushing the gun away from him.

The griffin screamed bloody murder from the pain and aimed his gun toward the kids before Red ran up and punched him in the gut, knocking him down to the floor. "Dashie get out of here!!!"

Dashie was still crying, shaking her head. "R-Red no...I don't want to leave you!"

"I SAID GO!!!!" Red yelled at the top of his lungs, he saw Gallus try to get up but he quickly shut that shit down with a hard kick to the face, making him stay down.

Dashie looked at him and Gallus one more time before running out of the room then out of the backdoor of the hospital, successfully getting away from the massacre.

Red put his foot on Gallus's gun hand and held the bottle of bleach up high. "Okay, you son of a bitch...you're going to tell me exactly where your boss is or I'm going to pour this entire thing down your throat..."

Gallus growled and pushed Red off of him, the bleach bottle dropping on the floor, then proceeded to pick Red up off the floor and knocked him out with a throw into a small table.

AJ: “Wait a secon...how the fuck did ya think that was a guud idea?”

Red: "Who said I did? All I was planning to do was blind him so he can't chase after Dash and I made myself a bigger target by threatening to pour bleach down there throat..."

Dash: "Anyway...After that, I ran into Applejack at Sugarcube Cafe and that's how I got involved with The Solaris Sisters...you already know the story Spike."

Spike: "Yeah, you were too young to do any real work so you were just like an errand girl before you turned 20 and became a full member of the mob family."

Red: (snickered) "But now it's my turn..."
