This will only sting for a moment

What is this? What is that noise? Where am I? Why am I not in my bedroom? Why does my head feel as if it was sewed together? ¹

I slowly wake up rubbing the back of my neck carefully while examining my environment. It was a hospital, my worst nightmare when I was a child and I guess it still is now. I wake up only to not feel my toes or hands; it was only a matter of moments before I've noticed that they were replaced by light blue hooves rendering me to end up in shock as if it was some horrible dream. Noticing a mirror to my left, I slowly turn my head only to see a mimicking action taking place in the reflection. I was a light blue stallion with a mane and tail that were yellow outlined by a darker hue color. My body was outlined with a darker hue of my body color. The giant bulging eyes on both sides of my newly found muzzle bore a similar color to my mane and tail.

I try to relax and take notice to a full glass of water sitting over on the counter next to me; it had my name on it and everything. How do they know my name, were they expecting me? I was just about to reach for it before I was interrupted.

"No, that's quite alright, I'll fill the paperwork out tomorrow, thanks Nurse Tenderheart," a voice sounded as it faded into the room.

Oh shit, someone's coming, I can't be seen like this, and it's already hard enough to be at a hospital but to have to be at one as a pony? I quickly hide myself under the blankets on my bed.

"Alright, what do we have here?" the voice asked kindly walking over to my bed.

"What's your name?" he asked.

I, still cowering in my covers, manage to mumble my name.

"Brent," I replied in an inaudible manner.

Fearing the possibilities of what could possibly happen to me next, I ask out of plain curiosity of why I was here.

"Why am I here? I am perfectly fine," I asked.

"It might help if we got you out of those covers," he chuckled as he started to levitate the bed's blankets down so that the blankets only overlapped my lower half of my body. Being absolutely terrified with both of my hooves covering my face, he begins to chuckle even further. It was a unicorn stallion; a blue and white mane above white coated fur, along his flank bore a heart rate monitor tattoo.

"Oh, you must Brent; my name is Doctor Blue fade, welcome to Baltimare Hospital. It says here that you were sent in from the Canterlot hospital, it also says you are here for the externalizer procedure," the stallion said looking at his clipboard.  ²

"The externalizer procedure?" I asked.

"It's where you get castrated, penectomized, and you get your extremity completely attached to each other," he replied.

"Can you give me that in layman's terms?" I asked.

"Uh, sure. It's when you get your balls and your penis cut off. Then we remove all the tubes and vitals that surrounded or were attached to said penis and balls such as the urethra, rectum, prostate, vasa deferens, and the seminal vesicle along with several other vitals inside of your lower sector of your body. Then we make it so skin builds up in your butt so both sides of the flank attach together over an open wound so no gap is visible on it, think of it like molding wet clay inside a crack on a pot. Also, we must do the same for where the penis and ball sack were so they don't grow back or continue to grow more hair on it than the amount of hair that is already visible," he said with confidence.

At this point my eyes could not possibly get any wider in shock.

"Okay, so am I supposed to go to the bathroom or have sex?" I asked.

"Going to the bathroom happens on its own terms but warns you ahead of time before you have to go, you should know that, and to be honest, I have no idea what you mean by 'sex'," he replied.

"Then how do you reproduce? You honestly can't reproduce asexually," I said rolling my eyes.

"Actually, that is how we reproduce, it is unorthodox for ponies to not be asexual, we pass off offspring via sign of affection or unicorn magic," he said.

"Could you at least give me an anesthetic or something during the operation?" I asked.

"What's an anesthetic?" He replied as a question.

"Shit," I whispered to myself as I gave an irritated look.

"We all had to get our externalizer procedure at one point or another; I'm just surprised you didn't have it when you were a young colt though. Having it now rather than then is only going to make it even more painful," he said.

"First of all, I wasn't a pony until just today, I don't know why or how I became a pony but I know I should still be human, I don't deserve this kind of torture, second of all, why the hell do you torture others with this operation?!" I shouted. ³

"Brent, I have no clue as to what you are going on about, please just let the professional take it from here and it'll be over before you know it," he sighed levitating his bag of medical equipment with his horn onto a table beside me.

"Professional, my ass!" I replied.

"You won't even have an ass after this operation, also, It would be nice if you watched your tone, you are at a hospital containing dozens of other patients including foals too you know," he reminded.

"And what, you tortured those dozens of others of ponies with this procedure as well?" I rhetorically questioned with anger nearly hopping out of my bed.

"Everypony has to get this operation, it is a requirement. Even Princess Celestia had to get it," he said.

"Why would you let something that came naturally to you for a reason get manually removed, it's our body we should decide how we treat it," I responded.

"It's not my decision to make, it's only for the best of the residents of Equestria to not see such a grotesque sight," he said walking closer to the table with his equipment on it. I managed to slowly calm down however I feel nothing but fear for what was coming next.

"Is it... Permanent?" I asked while shuddering at the thought.

"Of course it is, plus you don't see many ponies around here taking the operation twice, do you?" he chuckled asked rhetorically.

"What about the females?" I asked.

"A similar but slightly shorter process, for the females we have to remove the innards from the vagina, in order to do this, we first must cut a larger surrounding hole around it so even the vagina itself can be removed much like we do for males. Then when the vagina and all the vitals that used to be near or inside of it have been removed, we patch up the gaping hole where the vagina used to be. Finally, just like we do for the males, we patch up the flank, making sure both sides are fully attached," he once again said with full confidence.

Fear slipped through my mind and nothing but several drops of saliva slipped down my throat. I could feel massive tension rising as the doctor browsed through his own belongings. The doctor finally had found what he was looking for, several different types of sharp objects that could be identified as scalpels. The sight of it made me squirm in place and only want to gallop away.

"You're not making this any easier," he said as his horn started to glow bright.

"There, much better, now I can start to make my first incision," he said as my body began to lock into place on the bed due to the magical aura surrounding me that he created making me completely immobilized on all of my limbs with my back two hooves perfectly spread out for him on the other side of the bed. With one snap of the muzzle mask he began to lower the small knife towards my crotch.

OOOOOOOH FUCK!

OOOOOOOOOWWWW!

After several hours of nothing but screaming, precise incising, and the doctor patting onto the area to remove blood that happened to bleed out of the incised area in reaction to the removal of skin, he removed the pressure from the still in excruciating pain regions of my crotch. The doctor put the extracts of what used to be my penis and testicles into two small separate plastic bags. There also was another small plastic bag in which he put a cylindrical shaped pile of skin tissue that was under my penis, it was taken out probably for easy extraction of all the numerous objects he mentioned he was going to remove inside of my crotch. With the little movement I have, I manage to twitch the lower part of my left eye in aggravation.

"That wasn't so bad, now was it?" he asked rhetorically.

"It was one of the most excruciating moments in my entire life," I replied as he gently released me.

"Well, everypony has to do this procedure," he chuckled.

"There lies the problem, for the second time now; I AM NOT A PONY, at least not until now, I don't even belong here and I certainly don't deserve this torment!" I argued while covering up the gaping hole in the center of my crotch in response to the sustaining pain.

"You look pretty equine to me and besides, we're almost done," he replied.

"Look, what my body is resembles right now is not what I truly am," I said in an aggravated tone.

"Oh, then what are you?" The doctor said playing along with me.

"A human," I said in response.

"Aren't you a little too old for those fairy tales?" he chuckled.

"You've got to believe me!" I pleaded clutching my hooves around his neck.

"Right... Anyways, I will finish the procedure in another fifteen minutes, until then, try to relax, we wouldn't want to apply too much pressure on your lower region," he said writing things down onto a notepad he levitated into the air.

"No, please don't! You've already done enough! I can't take any more of this!" I cried pleading for mercy.

"As much as I'd like to stop, I can't. Now just be patient, I will be back for the next part of the procedure in a little bit," he said heading out of the room.

Several minutes have passed with me trying to regain my composure. Like the doctor said, he returned in time to continue with his torture and once again put his muzzle mask on again.

"Just relax, I only need to remove a couple things from inside and then patch up your skin, it's as easy as it gets" he under-exaggerated with a plastic smile.

"You've done quite enough don't you think? You've ruined my sex life, forced an eternity of virginity upon me, and worst of all: it's never coming back, it's permanent, gone, poof! You think I'm going to enjoy the rest of my life without my penis, all the things attached to it, and my ass being adhesively stuck together? No! Of course not, I couldn't bear to show my face on Earth ever again if I had the opportunity too," I argued nearly sobbing with my muzzle facing down towards the bed I was sitting on.

"Look, I may not have the slightest clue of whatever you are talking about, but everypony has to take this procedure. It's a requirement," he remorsefully said as he placed his right hoof under my chin forcing my muzzle to lean upwards.

"But... that's just it, I am not a pony, I am a human, or at least I was," I replied.

"You look pretty equine to me, and besides, we're almost done," he grinned in response removing his hoof from my muzzle.

"Looks are deceiving, especially when you wake up in a hospital bed in Equestria rather than in my bed at home," I argued further.

"I'll try to make this as painless as possible, but I have to remove the peripherals that used to surround your penis. I also have to adhesive the surrounding areas of your crotch together so you can't see the hole I made and I also must adhesive your bottom together so no open spaces or cracks are visible, just like mending cracks together in pottery, and then you can go," he said in attempt to relieve my stress.

"First of all, you mentioned that example already and second of all where would I go? Home? Even if it was possible, I wouldn't. You've already removed enough to make me not want to leave Equestria," I responded.

"How would you leave Equestria?" he asked.

"You know what, fuck it, just continue the procedure, you fucking mental piece of shit," I irately responded while obligingly sitting down with all my limbs spread out with my back perfectly flat on top of the bed so that the hole the doctor created was perfectly visible. °

"It'll be over and done with before you know it," he grinned.

As I pouted in response, the doctor grabbed various extraction tools including some various kinds and sizes of tweezers and more sharp tipped objects to cut loose and remove the objects attached on the inside, he also got out a relatively small flashlight to assist his vision.

The doctor pony standing in front of me magically levitate both a pair of tweezers and scissors up my cylindrical crotch hole where my penis used to be. Even though he was careful enough to not hit anything inside of me accidentally, the process of him sticking it up there was still absolutely painful for me. The medical pony in front of me shined his light in front of the gaping hole and continued to adjust his tools inside of me, inflicting even more pain.

After several minutes of rotating and moving the tools to his precise position, he decides to make his first incision without my consent.

"This might sting a little," he said with a serious face.

"Implying that it already hasn't been sti..."

He made his first incision and it was more painful than what I had imagined.

"Owwwww! Son of a Bitch! That stung!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

A little bump near the very bottom of my chest became visible and started dragging out to the end of my crotch hole. The tweezers started to become visible with something on the other end.

"This was your prostate gland," he said slowly magically levitating the vital out of my body.

"Emphasis on 'was'" I sighed.

"Ready for the next one?" he asked.

One by one, painfully reinserting and removing the tweezers, coming out each time with a vital, leaving the scissors inside for each individual painful cut. After what seemed to be hours of hell, Doctor Blue fade finally pulled out the scissors along with the tweezers and then let out a sigh of relief signifying he was finally done.

"God, my insides are killing me!" I shouted.

"Don't worry, the hardest part has already come to pass, we just need to fabricate some skin to overlap the open areas on your bottom and your crotch hole," he said trying to reassure me as he pulled out a small sharp knife.

"Wait, I thought we were done with the incisions," I panicked.

"Oh no, this is just to cut open a ring of skin tissue surrounding the perimeter of your crotch hole and we'd also need a ring of skin cut off the perimeter of the butt hole so we can connect the skin tissue together from each patch which will cover up the entire hole of both your butt hole and your crotch hole," he reassured.

"Out of all the hell I've had today without any doses of aspirin or any other pain relievers, I don't think I'd be even capable of sustaining that much more pain," I complained.

"You have an overactive imagination of all of the strangest things, Brent, you can't relieve pain," he said.

"Implying that you don't care about my pain and you are going to continue the procedure anyways," I said quite annoyed.

"Right on the money," he replied approaching me.

He had a hard time peeling off the skin surrounding each individual hole and it was nothing like peeling off the skin of an apple, it was sustainingly painful but luckily not as painful as what I've already been through.

"There, now we can just form the skin and wait for your fur to grow over it, then you'd be good as new," he grinned.

I only sighed in irritation. Doctor Blue fade left the room only for a minute to get a set of needles, surrounded by most likely sharper syringes than the ones on Earth.

"On second thought, do I really need a shot?" I asked as an excuse.

"You just need two tiny little pokes, they can't be that bad," he said.

First up, the crotch hole he created a while back. With his magic levitation, he aimed the sharp syringe towards the skin peeled area surrounding the hole and poked the needle through, allowing me to dilate my eyes in response to the pain. After a slow push of the end of the needle extracting several fluids into the peeled area, Doctor Blue fad slowly removed the needle.

"Only one more needle poke," he grinned

Doctor Blue fade put away the needle to levitate out another one.

Inserting the needle to the wound surrounding my ass was just as painful as the other needle but it was over with as soon as it started.

"All done," he said putting away all of his tools.

¹ "Why does my head feel as if it was sewed together?"

That's because it probably was, Canterlot Hospital removed every single body part individually and attach each pony body part individually. (Refer to previous chapter)

² "It says here that you were sent in from the Canterlot Hospital..."

Implying that the events in the previous chapter took place but Brent doesn't remember because of the minor case of amnesia from the body transfer due to a small part of the brain was temporarily extracted (the part that makes your soul control the body you are in) and got put into a pony's body. [Personality was also another extracted part into the pony body but conflict eventually rises upon that later.] {Overall there were only two extracted parts from his original brain, soul control and personality, no more.}

tl;dr The Things that occurred last chapter really happened. Brent doesn't remember and now controls the body and personality of a pony because the part of his brain that lets his soul control the body he's in and the part that displays his personality have been put into a pony's brain.

³ "...I wasn't a pony until just today, I don't know why or how I became a pony but I know I should still be human, I don't deserve this kind of torture..."

He admits to not remembering that he transferred his body back in Canterlot, this was to subliminally convey to readers that he is clueless as to what is going on and it puts emphasis on the fact that he doesn't know why or how he was became a pony.

° "You know what, fuck it, just continue the procedure, you fucking mental piece of shit,"

Brent finally accepts his inevitable fate since he knows that Doctor Blue Fade could just hold him in place again and that most of the job was already done resulting in the fact that it would look awkward to have a gaping hole in your crotch when the only pony he knows who could fix that is in front of him.
