A Hero Of War (UNEDITED)

“Is she gonna be okay?”

Rainbow was conscious but her eyes wouldn’t open, her tortured body ached as she tried to move. Tired, disorientated and confused, all she could manage was a faint twitch in her right wing.

“Di- …. Did she just move?”

The Pegasus recognised the country tone of the voice coming to her left, she heart soared as Applejack’s voice became music. With one hearty groan she, used her new found strength to lift her left hoof towards the noise.

“Oh mah Celestia! Girls! Girls! …. She’s awake!”

Rainbow heard the gallops of her friends running up towards her, she immediately felt relieved to hear their voices down as they all babbled on around her. The smell, the feel of the air the warmth, it just felt like home. Rainbow Dash coughed, silencing the ponies around her.

“W-where am I?” Dash grumbled. “W. …. Why can’t I see? …. W-where’s Bish?”

“Y-you’re in a hospital, in Canterlot.” She heard Twilight say in joy from her right. “You can’t see because there are bandages covering your eyes, it’s precautionary. We’re so happy you’re okay Rainbow. You were in a coma when we found you.”

“Urgh. …. Where’s Bishop?”

Rainbow felt somepony jump onto the bed, she didn’t have to think twice to know it was Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash could feel her strength returning as she grew more and more frustrated.

“OH MY GOSH I CANT BELIVE YOU’RE BACK!! I KNOW I HAD TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOU THAT DAY!! YOU SEE I ALWAYS GET THE-“

Before Pinkie could finish her sentence Rainbow Dash slammed her hooves on the bed, knocking the wooden frame as she growled, instantly silencing the room. Only then was she reminded of the excruciating condition she was in.

“I SAID WHERE’S BISHOP?!!” She choked.

She gritted her teeth, her chest felt like it was burning, as she listened to the silence she suddenly felt guilty for shouting at her friends. She didn’t say anything, she just sat back waiting for the inevitable answer.

“W-who’s Bishop?” Twilight said, breaking the silence.

Rainbow Dash turned onto her side, feeling the warm glow of the sun shining through the window as she curled up in the bed, pulling the sheets over her.

“Never mind.” She muttered.

Her friends looked amongst themselves, confused, saddened, Applejack walked around the bed before sitting close to Rainbow Dash.

“What in Equestria happened to you Rainbow? …. Who? …. What monster did this to you?”

Dash let out a quiet sob before covering her head, openly crying into her forehooves, Applejack was devastated, she began to break down into tears as well. Never had she seen Rainbow Dash, one of the most daring and bravest ponies she had ever known, reduced to a sobbing mess. Applejack placed a hoof on the Pegasus’s shoulder her mouth quivering as she tried to stay strong.

The rest of the mane 6 was soon gathered around the bed sharing the emotion with their long lost friend. Rainbow Dash couldn’t stand the pain, her salty tears soaked through the bandages and dripped into her stitched wounds. Her face throbbed with every move she made with her face; her whole body was shaking instinctively as she felt cold. Being reunited with her friends was not the loving, joyful experience she craved for.

Instead, she felt empty, she was home again but Bishop was still in that gruesome war.

She never even had the chance to say goodbye.

Wait. Wait a minnut. "Incomplete". . . . . . .

I know it's incomplete, but I'm curious how you will progress the story.

[DontWakeTheNeighbour]

[Perception Filter]

809852 Ah, I see now.

[BOBthieBomber]

first when i have read this i was like "I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU" (reloads shotgun)

then is saw it was still incomplete so i was like then

"he's still on it, good" (puts away shotgun.)

[Heavy Weapons Guy]

Thats not the ending.
Woohoo.

[Freescript the Bard]

Crying legit tears right now... Thank you for the story, bro. It was awesome to the end.

[Freescript the Bard]

809867 whoa, dude. Seriously, I cried over this story because of that kind of violence. Just tone the overkill down, kbro? :)

EDIT: I'm not actually upset over your comment.

[BOBthieBomber]

810045 sorry, its just that i wan't this story to end happily and if this was the ending I bet you would be disappointed to.

[Freescript the Bard]

810081 Dude, if this was the end, I'd be fine with that. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for more as much as the next guy, but I'm fine with stories that have a semi-happy ending. In fact, anyone else having 'Saving Pvt. Ryan' flashbacks?

[Thardoc]

if it weren't for that "incomplete" pain would arrive shortly.

I for one am quit happy but sad about the NOT QUITE ending ENDING. I cant wait to see what happens next but if u do decide that you want to carry on with this story into a human in equestrian thing i think this would be the first one where there is a whole other story before he came to equestria and so far this would be the first of its kind to do the HIE thing that is if you do decide you want to i will be obliged to like what you post since you have my respect..use it wisely and Don't spend it all in one chapter.

810219 Yeah. I started this story a while ago on wordpad. (No spell or grammar check.) I'll be going through the whole fic soon to fix any errors.

[shirotora]

I'm crying manly, manly tears right now. You, sir, know how to write with heart. You have all my love right now.

But Plastic Bottles weren't even in production at the time of the story, also, Machetes aren't exactly easy to come by

[Pliskin]

You´re right with the bottles - my bad... my idea was that the machete was taken from privateproperty, didn´t see a problem to obtain a machete

@DontWakeTheNeighbour: nice that you don´t go the HiE thing ... but .... I NEED MMMMOOOOAAARRRRR!!!

[DontWakeTheNeighbour]

813271 Fixed the plastic bottle problem.

[Pliskin]

bottle problem ^^ i liked the helicopter problem a lot more

[Zh3sh1re]

Dude! Bishop just have to come to equestria! Or rainbow again into the human world. This is a have to, dammit!

[DezzarTac]

Then bishop falls from the sky and lands in the royal swimming pool, and they all live happily ever after

[lolitsjack]

FUUUUUUU... oh it's incomplete. It better stay that way.

[Tie RoamingHooves]

Possibility: Rainbow Dash in special ops. She bucked Hitler. What now would stop her from finishing what she started?
One kill? More kills?

[DontWakeTheNeighbour]

816735 The origonal idea was going to be bassed on call of duty but instead I thought the story could be better if it wasn't. But I kept the begining as it was more of a shocking intro to the human world then my other ideas.

[Resurgent Wanderer]

Amazing story is amazing. Its got me hyped for an amazing end. So, y'know, don't let me down please.
