"Wow, it looks even more beautiful than before I went into a coma." Sunset quipped as she and Fluttershy exited the elevator and entered the 'viewing deck' on top of the castle. "Since when did Canterlot get so big?"
"We've had some major corporations move in since you slipped into a coma," Fluttershy said softly, not wanting Sunset to hear the betrayal in her voice. While Sunset was able to see clear skies and a beautiful city skyline for miles, Fluttershy wished she could say the same thing. To Sunset, this was a viewing deck, with other patients around her that were just chatting or playing with each other. To her left, she could see some nurses chatting with each other as their patients conversed, while to her right she could see a decently-sized field where some patients were going for a small walk-a-round. Behind her, nurses would come in and out of the elevators moving things like medicine and other medical equipment around.
Like downstairs, Fluttershy saw things a bit differently. The top of the castle was mainly a large helipad, where their generals would come down and converse with the Empresses. Around her, Fluttershy saw guards patrolling the area, while some on break merely stood next to each other, with little conversation between them. Since the castle was sectioned into multiple areas for multiple jobs, guards would often come in and out of elevators, wheeling around weapons or otherwise dangerous substances. She felt bad for lying to Sunset about what is really going on, but she knew that if she ever found the truth in her state, she may not live it.
As Sunset continued to relax and watch the skyline. Fluttershy got a text from Twilight,
With the princesses; They want to see Sunset. We'll be there in 10 minutes
She smiled and pocketed her phone. Next to her, Sunset wheeled around to face her. "Who was that?" She cocked her head.
Fluttershy gave her a small smile, "Twilight. She's bringing along some friends of hers to meet you, and wanted me to let you know before you see them."
"Oh, that's nice." Sunset said, "From work?"
"Umm, you could say that..." Fluttershy shyly said. She didn't know what would happen once the Princesses got here, as they have yet to be briefed about Sunset's conditions.
Suddenly, the elevator door swung open, and out came one of the new servants of the castle. They walked at a brisk pace, holding a plate with a coffee cup on it, to meet with the Empress of Kindness. "My Empress, your coffee as you wished for IT!" They shouted, as they tripped over.
It seemed that the servant had not been briefed on the situation regarding Sunset, and did not realize the implications of calling Fluttershy by her present name. Fluttershy had tried to wave off the servant before he revealed any more secrets yet to be told when she accidentally pushed the servant and made them drop the coffee near her chest. She sidestepped the coffee...only for it to land on Sunset right behind her.
Now, coffee is hot, like really bloody hot unless you're one of those heathens who drinks Iced Coffee from Dunkin, and
Fluttershy was not one of those heathens. So, when the coffee spill landed on Sunset, who is sitting down no less, it didn't end up on her chest or her legs, no no no.
It landed on her face.
"AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH, SON OF A B****!!" Sunset swore, as the coffee splattered all around her face, her nose, even on her forehead. She luckily clamped her eyes shut, but her eyelids were still affected by the coffee. She leaned forward, and fell out of her wheelchair on top of Fluttershy, who was just barely able to catch her. Had she been in a better state, the coffee may not have been that potent. However, seeing as she had just began walking again, the effect was amplified.
Now, please enter, the rest of the Rainbooms and the Princesses! *Jazz hands*
"MEDIC!" Fluttershy shouted at a guard, who hastly began calling up the closest EMS they had.
"SUNSET!" The rest of the group shouted, as the Rainbooms shed their human forms in favor of immediatly flying over to the girl. Midnight took over for Fluttershy in holding Sunset up, as the Empress of Kindness began running through all of her known spell to treat the burn.
"Sunset, are you alright!?" Midnight said, holding up Sunset's face to look at her. Sunset cracked her non-affected eye open to look at Midnight, and gave her a small smile.
"Twilight..." Sunset began.
"Sunset, can you see me?" She asked with haste.
"Twi..." Sunset got out, before she cluched her chest and falling limp in her arms. Just as she fell into this state, a EMS team came to them. The leader slid right next to Midnight, and checked Sunset's heartbeat.
"Irregular heartbeat, she might be having a heart attack." She said in a cool fashion, then turned to one of her team, and nodded to the wall behind them, "Get the defib from the elevator, NOW!" The paramedic nodded, than rushed to get the defiblirator as the rest of the paramedics began ripping open Sunset's hospital gown and preparing the chest. The paramedic turned to Midnight, "Excuse me, Empress, but I need this space." Midnight nodded, and let the paramedic take over, before going over to the rest of her friends huddling nearby.
In the group, Pinkie was trying to comfort Fluttershy, who was crying into one of her wings and sobbing as she muttered 'It's all my fault' and 'I shouldn't have pushed him'. Applejack was just giving her backpats, while Rarity, Rainbow, and the Princesses were standing around nervously. Before she could address them, she saw one servant trying to scamper into the elevator.
"Halt." She said in a cold voice. The servant froze, and slowly turned to face Midnight. Midnight called over Fluttershy, who had finished crying and whiping off dry tears from her face. "Was he the one who dropped the coffee?" She asked. Fluttershy finished drying her tears, and looked at the servant.
"Yes, he was." Fluttershy said, facing Midnight, who glared at the servant. Said servant was now also sweating profusely.
"Good." She said with a tone of finality in her voice. The tone signaled only one thing to the rest of the people present. Celestia and Twilight only gave the servant a look of pity, before turning away. They had seen Midnight do this before, and weren't willing to watch it twice. Despite not knowing what's going to happen, Luna realized the signal her sister was giving her, and turned away as well. The rest of the Empresses, meanwhile, began to back away from Twilight, and knowing what she was about to do, Fluttershy signaled for the guards to throw up their shields, which they did in haste.
The servant began trembling in fear, and litirally pissed himself on the spot as Midnight brought out he personal weapon. A ornate amathyst scythe emblazoned with Midnight's personal cutie mark. She slowly brought the tip of the balde to the servants nose, before giving him a sickingly sweet smile. "Did you know, I personally learned where all 206 bones are in a persons body for this very reason?"
It...was not quick for the servant.
Author's Note
So, based on my reading, CrossRedstone had this mixed style of random rush, in which it feels both like a rushed story in terms of writing and a random story as if it wasn't fully planned out beyond the basic plotline.
How do I know this? Because it's the same style that I apply to half of my stories.
Anyways, new chapter! Sunset got burned, we see that I am somehow decently descriptive with medical issues, and apparently Midnight can execute people. NICE
