A Hundred Horrible Deaths for Rainbow Dash

Number 6

Rainbow Dash was yelling and running around in circles because her left wing had gotten yanked off when she flew through a tree in Sweet Apple Acres.

“GAHHH! HELP, I’M BLEEDING AND MY WING IS GONE!”

“Rainbow Dash, quit running around or else ya’ll—,”

Applejack didn’t need to say any more, because Rainbow Dash had already collapsed in a pool of her own blood.

“Big Mac!” Applejack yelled behind her. “Get Rainbow somethin’ to cover that wound real quick!”
He galloped back with a picnic blanket because it was the only thing he could find. Satisfied, Applejack wrapped up her endangered friend, tossed onto her brother’s strong back, and the two of them made a mad dash for the hospital.

A little while later, Applejack returned to the scene of the accident with Fluttershy.

“I’m pretty sure that tree over there was where she crashed through,” said Applejack. “It’s gotta be up there somewhere. Her wing was still attached before I saw her fly into it.”

Fluttershy flapped slowly down to the ground, wearing a determined expression as she examined the tree in question. But then she felt wet stickiness on her hooves and shrieked when she saw them submerged in Rainbow Dash’s blood. She leaped out of the puddle and began trying to kick it all off her.

“Flutters, we ain’t got no time! The doctor said the window’s closing fast!”

Fluttershy stopped her spazzing and took a deep, calming breath. She fluttered upwards into the midst of the tree.

As soon as she properly looked up, she was positive she could recognize the outline of a pegasus wing. She flew upwards among the leaves and branches and, when it was finally within reach, she grabbed it and pulled it to her. While she did that, though, she heard slight tearing sound. She examined the wing’s scapula area and saw a pair of deep, bloody tears. Then, strangely enough, she heard a dog barking. She looked up again, but all she saw was an ordinary, angry-looking squirrel with faint signs of foam on its lips. It was…more than a little disturbing.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Squirrel, but Rainbow Dash really needs this back.”

Fluttershy and Applejack rushed back to the hospital where a surgeon was standing gravely over Rainbow Dash’s unconscious form. He along with Pinkie, Rarity and Twilight leaped when Applejack burst through the door with the wing held high above her head.

“We got it, doctor!” Applejack said in between her gasps. “Can ya still reattach it?”

The doctor swiped the wing out of her hooves. “There’s still a chance if we work fast.”

“Um, Mr. Doctor, you might want to—,”

The doctor looked at her aghast. “Sweet Celestia, what are you doing tracking blood into a patient’s room?”

Fluttershy looked down and gave a tiny gasp when she saw Rainbow’s blood thoroughly coagulated over her legs. “Oh my—but, doctor, that wing was—,”

“Everypony leave,” he said as he pushed all five of Rainbow Dash’s friends out into the hallway. “I need to operate immediately.”

“But doctor—,”

He slammed the door in her face before Fluttershy could finish her warning.

It was late by the time the surgery was completed. In a matter of hours, her wing had been properly reattached to her body and her blood levels were back to normal. She regained consciousness slowly and the first thing she noticed was a nurse looking down at her nervously.

“Miss Rainbow Dash?”

Rainbow Dash opened her mouth but no words came out. White foam had been pooling in the back of her throat and it bubbled towards her lips. She was shaking uncontrollably, and very soon the foam began overflowing, spilling onto her neck, filling up her nostrils, and rising up to her eyes. The nurse was about to rush to get a disinfected towel when Rainbow Dash tumbled out of her bed and, landing on her stiffened, left wing, snapped it off once again. Blood spurted out like a geyser, and she was subsequently reduced to thrashing in a growing pool of her own blood and foam. Then she arched backwards until her head touched her tail. Her spine snapped inward, and she finally stopped moving.
