The sentence of Hunger

After stopping laughing like the idiots they were, they proceeded to stand up, the two of them wiping away the tears of joy they had in their eyes.

Gilda was the first to break the silence, "ok, ok, very funny and all but I still have three questions".

Hunger shook his(?) head to wipe the last remnant of laughter that he had, "Ok, fine, shoot, I will try to answer then but some things I may be not able to tell"

Looking down at hunger, she saw how he(?) was giving her a sincere smile, "so the first question is, are you a male or a female?"

"Ok, I guess that is a fair thing to ask, to tell the truth, I really don't have a gender, but I see myself more like a male than a female".

"Well, that just gave me another question"

"just ask away, is not like we are playing 20-question games"

Gilda smiled at him, "So, you don't have any... what is call?"

"Genitalia? no, I don't have any right now, but is more like a personal preference, if I wish I could have a vag or a penis, or both, but I don't have any since I don't need them, and or want anyone to see my junk"

Gilda raises an eyebrow, "What?".

"Well you see, I come from a culture where seeing people nude is kinda a tabu, even when I have passed most of my life with creatures that don't have a sense of modesty **cough** in my eyes **cough**, I still fill uncomfortable that people can see my privates if they are in one right angle of my ass."

Gilda raises an eyebrow "Really? that is kinda weird"

"Well, for me is even weirder that I can see your pussy if I'm not directly behind you, and that is only if you are not happy or mad"

Gilda blush a little and looks kinda annoyed, "Y-you were checking me up?"

"First of all, are you really saying this when you literally check with your claw if I have anything behind me just a few minutes ago?"

Gilda looked like was going to say something, but then closes her beak for a moment, then spoke "ok, that is fair" for a moment Gilda thought to leave it at that, but she kinda wanted to get him back for that even now, so giving him a shit-eating grin she then continues, "but can I ask you if you liked what you saw?"

Hunger looked like he expected that since he did not even blush and spoke. "a lot." Gilda was caught off guard and blushed more, "but to be fair I only looked once, so I may need to check again to make sh-".

Gilda punches his shoulder pretty hard, "Do not test your luck dweeb".

"Auch, point taken"

Gilda was silent for a moment, did she really was that easy to predict or he just that forward?.

~~~
You are Hunger and you did not expect that, good thing that you can control where your blood goes and you stopped the blush that was coming.
~~~
"So... Next question?"

Gilda shook her head to remember the point, "right, so, what do you mean you do not need them? like, what about bathrooms and stuff?"

"I change the metabolism of my body so it could process any waste into something that I could use, so I do not need to go pop if that is your question"

Gilda thought for a moment, "That is kinda... Neat".

"Yup"

"So now to other stuff... What happened to you? that kinda freaked me out a little"

"Do you mean the whole crying and begging stuff?"

Gilda deadpan, "No, I mean the whole you checking my ass"

"A, well that is e-"

Gilda deadpan harder, "Dweeb..."

"Fineee, is just is kinda embarrassing to speak of"

"Well... What is more embarrassing, that you were crying because I hit your face or that you were crying for another reason?"

"That is... kinda fair, but is like, not much better, and you may laugh"

Gilda gave him a reassuring smile, "Try me"

"I... I'm kinda afraid of the dark"

Gilda lost her reassuring smile, "really?"

"Yes..."

"...And how old are you?"

Hunger's face becomes one of pain, "I should be older than twenty-two years old..."

Gilda's face slowly become red, not out of embarrassment or rage, but because she was trying to contain herself, but it was useless, Gilda was losing the battle.

"just laugh it up, you oversize bird." and then she started to laugh, hard, but not as hard as before when they were on the ground, more like a decent joke laugh, Hunger just holds a face of resignation, "See?"

As much as this was funny, Gilda kinda feels bad since the guy just spills some of his proverbial guts, "sorry, sorry, so why are you afraid of the dark and live in a home with no lights?"

"Well about the first question... Tell me, are griffons social creatures?"

Gilda notice the more serious air that overtook the conversation and sobered a little bit, "well, not really, in griffonstone is kinda every griffin by himself."

"But you are used to seeing another creature right? so be it an animal or a sapient one."

Gilda got confused "Well, yea, why?"

"Now think of a moment how would you feel if you couldn't see any creature for over a year."

Gilda contemplated the question for a moment "that... kinda would suck".

"but you could keep yourself busy with other things right?"

"I guess so..."

"Now add the fact that you couldn't hear anything at all."

"Gilda furrow her eyebrows "ok..."

"That includes your thoughts or own voice."

It took a moment, but slowly her face turned into one of fear "A-alright, I mean, I still could read books... even if I wanted to die before becoming a dweeb."

"Now add that you could see-"

"Dweeb, I don't know if I like where this is going."

Ignoring her, Hunger continues, his face becoming one of terror and tears slowly appearing in her eyes "Or feel something-"

Gilda looked at how the face of Hunger become one of a dead griffin "Dweeb?"

"And the only proof you have that you still exist is your constant fear and longing for the company of someone that you felt-"

He started to cry again "Dweeb!?".

"And the constant faith that whatever you're doing someday or year will bring you back to your senses-"

Gilda slaps him, as if the spell had been broken, Hunger comes back to his senses, blinking multiple times to wake up from his trance "Are you back?"

Hunger put a Hoof over his face, when he takes it out, notices there is blood on it... When Gilda looks, she notice that there where a claw mark over his face, looking at her own claw, she notice there where a little blood over the tips of her fingers. "Yea... I'm, thanks."

Gilda felt mad(?) like she wanted to pommel a griffin, but that griffin was her... Wait, is this how guilt felt? I mean, she also felt that when she said all those things to dash, but here was stronger, like she kick a puppy of an orphan. "L-Listen dweeb I'm sorry, I-"

Hunger smiles "Nah, I really needed that, that is a part of my life that I wish to not remember."

Gilda gulps, that was something that she didn't want to hear "So... you experience that?"

"Yes"

Now she felt even worse when she laughs about his fear of the dark "I... I'm really sorry."

"Nah, is fine, now that I'm thinking straight, I was not totally alone in there."

"What do you mean?"

Hunger looks into the distance "I... sometimes heard a cry... that kept me sane for a while... When I free myself, I didn't know I hallucinate that, since I couldn't think of anything during my imprisonment, I thought it was strange, But now that I remember all that, I know whose voice it was now".

Gilda didn't know what to think about that, so she just ask the first question that came to mind "and who was it?"

He gave a melancholic smile "It was princess Luna".

"... Really?"

"Yea it kinda makes sense now, it was that I was not mad when she enter my mind without an invitation, I had this feeling, that I know now was familiarity."

"so about being in a house full of darkness?"

"Right, my eyes are like hypersensitive to the dark, meaning that I can see in full darkness, but that also means that if something were to flash me too fast for my eyes to adjust, like, let's say throwing a plate to my face, hiding all the light from my eyes, only to be hit by a lantern later on my eyes, I would lose my sight from overexposure to light, thankfully I can heal them even if where to blind from that, but it's still a sore spot for my trauma to see nothing."

The mood of the room was a little ruined "...Want to change the subject? I mean, now I get it why do you fear the dark and all."

"yea let's"

Gilda cleared her throat "Well, now can I ask you why did you separate that pancake?"

The mood of hunger instantly change to a more happy one "Ho, I wanted to see how much of my -Food- Magic got back, so I made that with all my skill into that subject."

Gilda raises her eyebrow "Food magic?".

"Yup."

Gilda thought for a moment, she kinda needed something sweet to take this bad taste out of her mouth "Can I... Can I taste it?"

"Shure, I was gonna ask you that, but since you offer yea." Gilda was about to move, but Hunger hold her with his magic (a pretty weak grasp to be fair "but a bit of a forewarning, just one bite, my food magic is kinda addictive to the weak of minded."

Gilda Deadpan "Excuse me?"

Hunger gave her a sheepish smile "Sorry, I mean, is addictive if you haven't had anything like this before".

Gilda scoffed "Ho come on, how bad can it be?"

The face of hunger morphs to one of terror "Ho no... you utter one of the forbidden words..."

Gilda scoffed harder "Please dweeb, do not be so melodramatic, what could go wrong?".

Hunger flinched and whisper "Doble trouble..."

Gilda roll her eyes and broke free of the magic grasp, proceeding to take a fork and a knife and cut a piece of the pancake "is this small enough?"

Hunger got closer "I... I think so, yea". after brushing it over the remaining syrup on Hunger's plate, she proceeded to pop it into her mouth before he could stop her "hooo... fuck no" Gilda's eyes dilate as if she was drugged, then everything was a blur.

~~~~

"Are you back?"

That were the first words that Gilda manage to hear, later, she managed to breathe combinations of aromas that wanted to make her puke if it wasn't for the fact that her throat was terribly sore and dry. The odor of blood, sweat, urine... and something else, by itself bearable, combine and together make a mix bound to try to make you vomit, Gilda was thankful that she didn't smell excrement, because if it was like that, she probably would have fallen "unconscious" again.

fortunately (for better or for worse), her mind was pulled to another urgent matter, and her body was sore, It's as if a moment ago she had been moving her body in a crazy way that she shouldn't move, her cramps were cramping and she could swear one of her wings had possibly twisted a little. it was hell, the only comforting thing there was, was the body heat of something that was engulfing her form, when she manage to open her eyes, she notice that she still was in the canteen, she tried to speak, but her throat was to dry to do so before she tried to get out of the embrace, a bottle of water(?) was put in her beak.

"Drink, it should help to have in mind how much you were screaming"

-Screaming?- she thought, but like she was on auto-pilot she manage to drink the water like a griffin dying of thirst, and like things were, that still may be true. After drinking the whole bottle which tasted sweet and salty, her senses come back like a bullet train, the pain, the wetness, the smell of blood and even urine, the cold flor which was increased by her wet posterior, it was a lot to take in, but then, managing to speak, she hopes the answer was not that bad "What happen?".

"The short story is that you kinda tried to eat the whole thing, then I had to stop you since I don't want you to lose your mind for a month and stuff"

That really doesn't clear things up "...And what happen then? did you hurt me to stop me?"

"No, I... just look at me to see if your eyes had gone back to normal" She did, But when she looked at Hunger, she saw a horrible sigh, multiples claw marks and bruises could be seen on his white fur, blood was coming from his nose and had a black eye while the other... was closed and a big splash of blood were under it "Yea... your eye had gone back to normal, the detox process finish"

Gilda was stunned "did... did I?"

"Yes, like I said, highly addictive, I was not expecting to you put syrup and my saliva over it, so you kinda overdose a little, now try to not freak out, I will stop holding you now, and you may see something weird, but let me be clear, I don't want to eat you or hurt you in any way".

Gilda just nodded, since she didn't know what else to do or say, when Hunger stopped hugging her, the sight was worse, more bruises all over his chest, his breath was ragged and one fork was deep in his chest "w-what happened?"

Hunger said as nonchalantly as possible "well you kinda got nuts, and I don't know how much force I have to use to knock a griffin unconscious, so I tried to hold you down, you kinda have a lot of strength in you, more than a pegasus, less than an earth pony, kinda scary when you are clawing on my face thought"

"I-Is... is your eye ok?"

"Nah, you stab me with your fingers in your stupor you kinda threatened me that you would make me go blind if I did not let you finish the pancake"

Gilda couldn't believe it, "C-can you open it?"

Hunger blinked, "sure." and opens the offending eye, two holes in it, as two pencils had gone through it... the same size that her middle finger and index finger.

"i... I HAVE TO GO." Even when his body was killing her, Gilda jumped and try to escape from there, to go anywhere but here, she just couldn't deal with this.

But something stops her, something was grabbing her tail, it was not a magical grasp since the horns of Hunger weren't turned on... but then what? when she looked down she saw a... Claw (?) "Gilda, what did I just tell you?"

"B-but!"

"No buts, DO NOT freak out, is fine, we are fine"

Gilda was flabbergasted, she was so focused on the thing that she had done, that she didn't even question the fact of the claw(?) that was holding her, "I JUST DESTROID ONE OF YOUR EYES."

"Yes you did, but running away is gonna help in something?"

Gilda breathe hard, Thousands of voices screaming in her head about the thing she just did and what else she could have done, but then saw his face, even after being absolutely brutalized, he manage to keep that serene face... it was somewhat reassuring. After relaxing for a bit, she slumped on the ground, "what now?"

"Well having in mind that it was kinda my fault, I guess is fair to say that we are squared"

"W-what?" She looked at Hunger again, his face didn't change, "I... that is not the point, you have to go to the doctor, and when they ask you how this happened they are gonna find out it was me since I'm the only griffin that has been here, like forever and-"

Hunger cut her off by putting another claw(?) over her beak, "Relax, yes, that is pretty accurate if I were to go to the doctor, but for that reason, I will not go."

Gilda use her own claw to take the claw(?) off, "WHAT!? BUT YOUR-"

Hunger manage to close it again, "Stop freaking out, I can fix this, remember when I said that I can make the cells make new ones? I just gonna make them do a new eye."

Now more relaxed, Gilda grab the claw(?) off her beak, "Really?"

"Really really."

Gilda was hopeful, "D-do you need help?"

Hunger smiles, "actually yes, I can't really go out like this without making a scene, so I gonna need you to get me stuff from a list so I can grow another eye faster, also, thanks for not screaming about the hands."

Gilda looks at one of the black claws (?) "t-that is a hand?"

"Yup."

"...Gonna ask it about later."

"Good."

"So the list?"

"right, I'm gonna do something weird, please stay calm." Gilda nodded "well, here we go." Hunger proceed to put one of the black claws over his mouth and start it to move around, Gilda didn't know what to make about the whole scene, but true to her word, tried not to freak out. After a while, the hands come out with a sack of bits and a piece of paper with some stuff written on it "So, I don't have enough demon juice to transform the material into another stuff, so gonna need all these things to heal my wounds and create another eye."

Gilda pick up the list and the bits with a little trepidation, weirdly enough, it was not wet "I... will ask about this stuff later too."

"Shure, it will be fun to share, also, if you don't find some of that stuff, just buy something with a lot of sugar in it, if you do not find that either, just buy something with a lot of fat." Gilda looks at him with doubt written on her face, "Yes, you can ask about that later too, also, there are some keys beside the door, also do not let anypony in, I really don't have the energy to deal with them."

Gilda was about to run off with the lantern, then stop and look back "Do you promise that you will be fine?"

"I will bee fineeee mom, if you need me I will be in the infirmary with the others." Hunger proceeded to stand up, then he starts limping away, Gilda looked like she wanted to help, but before she could, Hunger spoke "just go, I really want my eye back if you know what I mean."

Gilda raises an eyebrow "what?"

"I don't know, the blood loss kinda making me say weird stuff, I should be fine with a blood transfusion though, which I have some since I usually end in this state." Gilda gave him a reproachful look "you can also ask about that later, just go."

Gilda proceeds to run at full speed to the door before she could doubt even more.

~~~

It was hard, without a doubt, first, her body was screaming at her that she needed to rest, second, her wing indeed was bent when Hunger was holding her, third, shops don't take kindly to a griffin cover in sweat, piss and blood, It probably would have been better if Hunger went to buy the things... or maybe he thought she had been smart enough to go through the river before going to the town, or he didn't realize considering that maybe he accidentally got used to the smell of blood... actually, Gilda remembered that she had also broken his nose, so he couldn't possibly smell anything in that state.

Sometimes, ponys denied her service, possibly thinking she was a murderer or something, so she had to take stuff -By force-, of course, she left the money for the things behind, since she didn't want a problem with the guard... did ponyville even had a guard? whatever.

Apparently, the word reached rainbow's ears, because she tried to catch her for a while, screaming something about -Gilda what did you do?- to -How did you fall so low?!-, but she did not care, it was already too late, did her words hurt? yes, but Hunger probably was in even more pain than mere words could do. luckily, Rainbow was never very "intelligent", so she managed to lose her when she suddenly went through an alley and hide in a trash can.

Later all was in a blur, she was flaying so hard that her twisted wing felt like it was about to fall off, with some luck rainbow didn't notice her in the way of the home of Hunger. She proceeded to open the door and slam it shut after she enter, then she lock the door, "HUNGER WHERE ARE YOU?".

After some seconds of no response, she started to think the worse, when she was about to run around trying to find him, but then she hear his voice "Over here!".

She got there as fast as she could, thankfully, there was no furniture in the corridors, allowing her to have no chance of tripping, in what seemed to her after an eternity, she saw a room with light, with a *Bang* she opened the double doors... only to receive annoyed looks from the creatures inside.

On stretchers, there were creatures of different sizes, from rabbits, ducks, and even a snake to a panther with tentacles on its back, Gilda thought about getting away for a moment due to the awkwardness of the situation, but then she saw how Hunger was at the end of the room. In there he was on a stretcher, with a raven in his back and an IV pole on his side, the blood bag had written -True universal blood- in bad grammar, and a big difference that the other places of this base, there were lights in the ceiling and many shelves with medic equipment.

Hunger gives Gilda a stern stare, "Try to not make too much sound, I really can't understand them now, and I'd rather not have a one-sided conversation while I'm trying to tell them to stop trying to rip your face off."

Most of the claw wounds seem to have a patch over them, on the bruises they had a green ointment, while on his bad eye, he stick a patch that seemed to ooze a bit of a blue cream. Gilda gulps and stays more at peace knowing that he is ok "S-sorry".

She proceeds to walk very slowly, the panther appears to smell something on her and then proceeds to growl at her, when is about to pounce, hunger throws him a tongue depressor, "Do not, why would you even... wait, right you had my blood over you, sorry panther, you try to defend me and I attack you"

The panther just huffs and shakes his head, then proceed to go back to rest, "so, what is this place?"

"wait... I didn't tell you?" Gilda shakes her head while keeps walking, hunger continues, "sorry, I was planning to check on them after breakfast, but we kinda got side-tracked"

Gilda nods, when she is by his side she put the bag of stuff by his side, "here is the stuff"

"Neat, anyways, The demons are ravaging the flora and fauna, so I try to preserve the fauna a bit by healing the injured animals, that got their wounds at the hands of the demons, then I proceed to release them when they regain their strength." Hunger proceeds to check the contents of the bag, while he is looking away some animals look at him with fearful glances, When he looks back at them, all of them proceed to look at him with puppy eyes, Hunger winces "Guys, we already got over this, I can not let you stay, I know that it is scary with the demons there, but if I start to adopted like crazy... Again, it will end badly for the ecosystem." They do not falter, Hunger looks like he is physically in pain, which is weird having in mind that he was fine with literary an eye missing without showing a little of the pain, "come, guys, this is the exact reason why I do not keep my -Animal- ears." when he says that, most of them just sigh, accepting their fate of going back to the wild, some of them keep trying, but the panther just looks at them and makes some sounds... when they do not stop, he growls and makes more sounds when they heard this, they stop immediately, Hunger gives a sigh of relief "Thanks panther, I swear to the god they will kill me with cuteness someday."

Gilda just has a confused face all over the interaction, "so... you can understand them?"

"Not right now, because my methods of hearing them are a little too... annoying? yes, too annoying for my taste."

"Why do every time I speak with you, I end with more questions than answers?"

Hunger shrugs "Because I believe that you can handle it and I was dying to speak to someone else for a long time?"

"what? what do... a right, the no feeling nothing thing."

"right, so anyways, I'm gonna do something pretty gross, so if you are not into vore, look away... please tell me that you are not into vore."

Gilda looks confused "vore?"

Hunger gives a sigh of relief "Good to know that is still not a thing." Before she could ask what he means, he proceeds to open his mouth wide, at first was a normal size for somegriffin of his stature, but then it starts to open wider... and wider.

Gilda's eyes open wide "what the-" without paying her attention, Hunger continues to ingest the entire bag, when the entire bag is in his mouth and he looks like a chipmunk, he starts to chew away. When Gilda looks around to make sure that her eyes are not deceiving her, she notices how some of the animals are looking at him with morbid curiosity, some of them look like they want to get out of there, but their fear of making her wounds worse makes them stay in place.

Very slowly, Hunger proceeds to swallow, some of the patches on his throat breaking or falling off, and like he is some kind of snake, he proceeds to swallow it all, but something weird happens, when they arrive at the base of his neck, Gilda expects to see how his stomach becomes one of a pregnant female, but for some reason, the lump just disappears.

"W-what? how? what?"

When Hunger finally finishes with a burp, he looks at her, "dam, you saw it all? you sure are kinky."

Gilda is too busy being shocked to blush "how?"

Hunger just rolls his eyes "Bloodline of food, remember?"

"What?"

"Believe me, I wish I could explain it to you, but I'm not allowed, now shut up and let me do this." Hunger clears his throat, then looks at the crow "are you ready nevermore?" The crow nods, "Good." Then hunger proceeds to look at the crow, which becomes incredibly sad, "I'm so sorry that your family was killed, if I were faster, maybe I could have done something... I just... I hate when this happens, when you were crying I listen to you, I heard your stories, the good ones, and the sad ones, you cried hard and I cried with you..." Gilda seems like she was about to say something, but then one of the hands of hunger shut her up. "but... if I was a little faster... maybe you never had to cry in the first place..." Wetness makes its way to Hunger's eyes, even with the patch on his bad eyes, tears start to roll their way down his cheeks.

Gilda was confused, I mean, was he really crying for a crow? but then she noticed, the wounds on his neck, very slowly while he cries, start to heal, open wounds closed and fur grows back, and bruises change colors, his fur going back to its normal pure white color, then the other hand that wasn't grabbing the beak of Gilda proceeds to take the patch of his broken eye. She didn't know when it happened, but the crow started to cry too, and Hunger puts his head over his, and Hunger puts his head on hers, they both whimpered, as they both had lived in the same and were connected by their experience, Gildas's eyes opened even wider when she saw how the holes in the broken pupil of Hunger's eye start to fill, very slowly the giving away to a milky pupil of someone blind, then it starts to become red... then an explosion is heard.

Hunger and the crow wake up from their stupor and stop crying instantly, they both look to the only exit out of the room, Gilda is a little slower to react but does the same. All the animal seems to be shocked to their core, they look like they are about to panic, but a simple growl of the panther put them back in place, "Gilda... now that I think about it... did you fly all around ponyville cover in my blood?"

Gilda gulps and looks scared, "Y-yea".

"Hoooo for fucks sake." The crow flinches at the bad word, Hunger gives him a sheepish smile, "sorry." Hunger clears his throat "Details please".

Three voices can be heard in the distance, Gilda makes an audible gulp, "I may or may not panic and acted a little suspicious".

"how suspicious?"

"I may have run away from rainbow when she wanted to ask what I did... and proceeded to take some of the supplies you needed by force".

Hunger looks like he is about to curse, but when he sees the crow flinch beforehand, he stopped himself, "**Ehem**, did you hurt someone?" Gilda shakes her head "did you pay it all?" Gilda nods "Good, then is fine, if it's the guard I can tell them to stand down" Hunger touches his chin "... but is kinda too early for them to arrive from Canterlot... hmm weird"

Then it happens, Three ponys enter, three ponys that Gilda knows very well, a light blue pegasus with a rainbow mane, an orange earth pony with blonde hair and a cowboy hat, and a purple unicorn with a samphire mane with two stripes on her hair... Rainbow dash, Applejack Apple, and Twilight Sparkle.

...

Like the silence before a storm, they each stare at each other in silence, then the animals feeling the discomfort start to freak out, Before the chaos ensues, Nevermore flies around the room and makes crows noises, and the animals stay still for a moment, before going to the side of the room, trying to make space in the middle for whatever was going to happen.

Before anyone started to speak, Gilda trying to find some kind of guide of what to do, looked at Hunger, but then she noticed something odd, something that anyone with normal eyes or that didn't know the person enough could have missed, the little movement of the ears, how his fur stand a short taller than before, how his pupils dilate an insignificant amount, how his tail hides a slightly more his backside, how his breath raged a fraction and his pulse quickens, how his body slumps a little, all little signs that could have been lost in less than a second, hall done in an instant and Gilda manage to catch it... Hunger was feeling fear.

twilight with an authoritative voice spoke, "GILDA GRIFIN, WHAT IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA HAD YOU DONE!"

Hunger... Flinched? he had never flinched around her before, even when she had screamed even lauder

"what in tarnation' had you done to that poor colt!?"

There it was again, and he flinched, Hunger tried to speak, "All you relax and stand down-"

But Rainbow interrupts him, "Gilda!? I should had know better than to be a friend with someone like you!"

Hunger flinched at the start, but then when he heard the last part, he stopped. "I SAID STA-"

But they didn't listen to the "child", they just ignore him, they only saw the part that he was hurt and that Gilda was covered with his blood "Gilda, put yourself on the ground or we will have to-"

Rainbow interrupts her "Yea! we will have to kick your flank!"

"And I ain't gonna hold back!"

Hunger looked pissed, "I said STAND DOWN, last warning!"

Nobody listen to him, all had escalated too fast, Then Gilda did something stupid, she put herself in a defensive pose in front of Hunger.

All hell ensued.

When Twilight saw how fast Gilda had moved, she instinctively fired a stunning shot, but there was a little too much force in the spell, when it hit the chest of Gilda, she was trow back into the stretcher where Hunger was, making the iv fall off with the blood bag, this hit the head of Gilda and a wound was made, that didn't help the fact that the blood bag had ripped open and starter to flow in the ground.

Gilda had fallen unconscious and started to convulse on the ground.

~~~
Hunger's pupils dilate even more in surprise, and his gaze locks with the one that had hurt his friend. All the fear that Gilda had noticed before had disappeared like a drop of water in a desert, all the -Flee- instinct had vanished, all were changed for -Fight-.

His first intuition was to kill them, but even thinking about it made his head throb with pain, -FUKING CONTRACT-, so he think of mangling them, permanently damaging them for what they just did, his head throb a little less, but it still not good enough, he had to choose fast and so he decided to just disable them... His head did not throb.

All those decisions happened in an instant, in less than a second, his mind racing at an insane speed, so fast that he knew his head would hurt later, then he acted.

And you may ask, how he would win in a battle against three ponys, one of each race, all of them one of the best specimens that this world had to offer. Normally he would prefer a cloak-and-dagger approach, but this time was not an option, he was already been spotted, he couldn't hide anywhere and he couldn't break the line of sight, to add salt to injury he was not fast enough to catch them off guard that distance, considering that his body had not yet recovered, the most likely thing that would happen with this option is that he would needlessly hurt himself before the unicorn fired another stun bolt.

He could indeed play the "scared little colt" card, but in this state of pure adrenaline in which those mares were, it was too unpredictable for his taste, then add the fact that he still doesn't have enough energy to make the arms invisible again, and the only end result would be a disaster. So he decided to use a combination of teamwork and foul play to gain the upper hand.

His mind slowly returned to a more acceptable speed, then exchange glances with the panther, and thanks to the experience of both, they managed to have a conversation at a moment's notice. Hunger took one of the tongue depressors that he had used against panther with his hands, then he stood fast, ripping the iv of his vein, twilight noticed this and looked at him, her eyes got wide with shock when she saw his non-natural hands in his back.

Her horn glowed more, no doubt to shoot another stun volt, but Hunger was faster, his hands moved with the speed of thunder, and threw the wooden stick with all his might to the base of her horn, with a yelp of pain the wooden stick broke in a million pieces in the exact spot where he aimed.

Rainbow was the second to react, she was about to tackle him but the Phanter suddenly disappeared in a mist of black smoke, appearing right over her, and falling into her back, it used his tentacles to constrictor all her body, including her wings. Applejack was last, but before she could move, hunger claps his two hoves together, turning the lights off, and just like that, he had incapacitated the three of them with the greatest advantage he had, his ability to see in pure darkness.

He moved fast, in the 2 seconds it took his eyes to get used to the dark, she saw how applejack had tried to back off, only to trip on her own hoves for the unexpected surprise, since she was an earth pony, she would need a lot more of strength, using one of his hands with all the energy he could muster, with a close fit he hit her chin, sending her back to the corridor where she had come from.

Guessing from the inert fall he heard, he could guess that he managed to make his brain bounce off his skull, causing her to fall unconscious, without losing a heart-beat, he put the other hand that he had on his mouth and reach over his stomach to take something that he had gotten with the base, a unicorn magic nullifier, after taking it out of his stomach, he put it in the horn of the still cringing in pain Twilight sparkle.

And just as quickly as the showdown began, it was over.

Clapping his hoves together the light of the room comes back to life.
