Equestrian War

Two years after being rescued by Celestia and Luna, Flurry Heart began using her senses to search for any of the ponies that Neighsay had captured. She felt a presence that could only belong to her aunt. After talking to Celestia, they determined that Twilight was somewhere atop Mount Everhoof, which was a treacherous place. Cadence and her daughter suited up in clothes for winter climates and found a weather-resistant helicopter in the aircraft hangar. They reached the mountain in two hours and Flurry rappelled on a cable.

Touching down in the snow, she fired a blast from her horn that knocked the guards unconscious at the door. She ventured inside and turned on her flashlight to see in the dark shadowy hallways. Arriving in the only room that was using power, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Cadence asked her what she saw, and Flurry said that she saw Twilight inside a tank that contained a bluish colored gelatinous liquid. She found the control panel and cancelled the timer which had 30 years remaining on it. After she entered a code, the fluid started receding, and the tank opened up.

Twilight’s limp unconscious body fell to the floor and popped free from a breathing mask with a loud squelch. Flurry opened her backpack and dried off Twilight’s fur with a super-absorbent towel. After wrapping her aunt in blankets, Flurry instructed Cadence to lower a basket for Twilight. After struggling to carry Twilight outside, Flurry placed her in the basket and then clipped her harness back on the tether line. Cadence hoisted them up into the helicopter and they flew back to the base.

Luna placed Twilight in a gurney and wheeled her into one of the recovery rooms. After Twilight was placed in the trough, Luna opened a valve to let the fluid flow in. Flurry placed electrodes on her aunt’s chest and hooked them to a heart monitor. She also snaked an air tube up Twilight’s nose and hooked her to an automated breathing machine. She began to get a steady heart rhythm after a moment. She studied the various chemicals in the room until she found what was needed for waking someone up. She poured twelve drops of the fluid in the trough and started waiting.

Two weeks later, she had success. Twilight’s heart rate was coming back up to normal, and her brain began functioning properly again. Her senses were coming back. When she noticed that Twilight was beginning to breathe on her own, Flurry removed the air tube. Watching as the readings indicated that Twilight was about to awaken, Flurry began to speak to her.

“Open your eyes.” she said quietly to her aunt.
