Dreams of a better past

With a flash,everything I knew faded into whiteness,and then...

nothing.

This was all I could see,hear,feel,smell and taste.I tried to flap my wings but, I couldn't.
I could do nothing.I lay their as my world slipped away from me. Everything I was going to do,places i'd see,people i'd meet. And what about all the things I had done.....

My mind began to show the images It had collected over the years.I remembered my home.A cloud house, near Ponyville. My home planet.My home wasn't much.It was small, but it was mine.I remembered joining the crimson pegasai,hoping to serve and protect the ponies of the galaxy and do my duty as a solider,but that was before I was told I was being shipped off to calamity, to try and "sort out the unsortable hellhole" with an alias army of a mere hundred.We all knew we were there because they wanted to mine but were afraid of the locals interfering but we were all interested in the rumors of a stable on this very planet.that was what kept us here.I knew we were stuck.I knew that every one of us were imprisoned in our own minds,by what our superiors told us to do.I remembered the feelings that I had when I shot my commanding officer right between the eyes.My first kill.My hardest kill.The kill that set me free.
When alias left,after discovering the activation of the vault the remaining pegasai outcast me and banished me from their lands.I may have set them free,but with no leader I knew they would turn on each other. I knew from that day what hell was. It was all too real and only the place where the word comes from could show me that.Being left alone on a planet where ponies go to die,to seek nothing,to chase false dreams.That is hell. Isolation,sadness, loneliness...I couldn't remember the last time I felt true happiness,true friendship after that.I was alone for 4 years.Some mares would go insane in four days but I kept on fighting.I knew I could feel those good feelings again.I was right to believe, as I felt those emotions stronger then I ever had before one faithful day when I stumbled across a town in the wastelands and went into the local bar.It was called "rarity's" .As I sat there, consuming alcohol to cure my sorrows.Three ponies sat beside me.Little did I know that I had just came across three ponies with a dream.A dream that we all shared equally .But now I felt it all fade again. All the emotions and feelings.I found it hard to wrap my brain around what was happening.My whole life. Gone.........

"Oh great! some friends for me to party with!"A voice uttered in an excited and metallic tone.
"Wha...." I tried to talk.I opened my eyes but everything was a blur.I saw a pink blob in front of me poking at my head.I tried to get up,but I collapsed as I was greeted back to the land of the living with pain meeting me there.
"Whoa.Take it easy there pony friend.You and your friends just survived quite the ordeal.I'm surprised your internal organs are still functioning at this point.But what do I know? I'm just a robot."
"My.....Friends?"I was forcing the words out at this point.I allowed gravity to move my eyes to my left to see three blobs lying beside me.
"Hey.I'm no doctor,don't let my charming good looks fool you.but I'd say you've got some cracked ribs.Yep.Most definitely. and....."I realized the pink blob was talking.It seemed to talk on and on even if it thought it was being heard or not. This little.....thing seemed annoying but it just saved my life so I guess I owe it.I had a ringing In my ears that muffled her sound a lot at least.
".....say it.And I know a good doc who could help you out.She's on her way here but she'll be disappointed that you're alive.But don't worry you're safe now friend"
I couldn't hold onto my consciousness any longer.I passed out.
End of chapter 3


Author's Note

Coming from a guy who actually died (I was killed for an operation and revived.It's not really important but kind of helped with this) Anyway. The death scene was actually what I felt when that happened to me so that's pretty much what death feels like(not joking.I'm very serious).Sorry about the shortness of the chapter but It needed to be short (and it's getting kind of late too)I'll do a longer chapter in 4.Which will take about 5 days or so to do.
