//------------------------------// // OH CELESTIA NO!!!! // Story: Wake up. See this. What do? - Part 2: Raise the Flag (comment driven story) // by RazortheAwesome //------------------------------// Ask "What the buck is going on!?" and proceed to chase after Jason. Start asking from the doctors how bad Jasons condition is. He has lost really much blood so you should ask if he needs blood transfusion and if he needs then ask if your blood would go with his. (Oh oh. HI Razor. I'm Back. except you don't really care but, i'm still saying it. Been long time since I last put something in here. Well nothing more, nothing less. Bye) Well seeing as how serious things are better ask the doctors the ultimate question: "How bad is it doc?" They're taking him to the back! You only see him for a second before the doors close, but you still see him. Without stopping for little more than a second, you make a mad dash for the door. Right before you reach it though, two ponies in doctor outfits come out of nowhere (really, they were only a few feet to the side of you, but you didn't bother to notice them for obvious reasons) and block your path. You try to run right through them, but they manage to grab ahold of you and stop you, though you do notice it takes quite a bit of effort from them to do so. "Hey, hey. Slow down," One of them says as they both push you off of them. "Sorry but you can't go through here." "WELL, WHY THE BUCK NOT!?" You yell back at them. "Medical personnel only are allowed beyond this point," the other one says to you. "Look, I'm sorry, but you're not a doctor, I can tell, so you'll just get in the way." At that, you grit your teeth and let out a very audible growl. You're not about to let them talk to you like that, or stop you, not while Jason's in there all because of y- Right before you can open your mouth to speak though, you feel another hoof touch your shoulder. As quickly as a firefly, you turn to look right into the face of your older brother Big Macintosh. The look on his face is the same it always is, and his mane is still a bit red from Jason's blood, but all he does..... all he does... All he does is close his eyes and shake his head. Suddenly, every ounce of adrenaline you were running to get here seems to evaporate. You've never really understood what kind of effect Big Macintosh has on you, but he's always made you feel better when you get stressed out like this. It's happened before.... Celestia knows that if it wasn't for him, there are times when you would have torn the whole town to the ground. You could fight back, you could rush right past these two doctors and run straight towards Jason, they aren't that much bigger than you, you could take them, but no... It wouldn't be the right thing to do. You know that. You weren't even thinking about it before but.... With no more reason to fight back, you just let yourself deflate and let your head slump towards the ground. Even though the tiles in the floor don't reflect much, you can almost feel them staring back at you. "I'm really sorry," the first doctor says to you. "I know how you must feel?" At that, you start to lift your gaze back up towards him. "But you did what you had to. You brought him here. He's in good hooves now. Everything's going to be all right." He wore the kindest smile you've seen from a hospital worker as he says that to you. "How bad is it?" you still can't help but ask. "Is he gonna be okay?" At this, both of the hospital workers in front of you looked at each other for a moment, then back at you. They seemed... a bit confused. "He's going to be fine," the second one says to you, though you can tell it's a lie. Element of honesty. You better be able to tell a lie when you hear one. "We're not gonna let him die on our watch. You can hold us to that." Now that you can believe, but still. It doesn't make you feel that much better. Still, you aren't gonna get any more accomplished here. So with that in mind, you let out a rather loud sigh, and then walk slowly over towards one of the chairs in the waiting room. Big Macintosh follows close behind you. Get Jason a fairy in a bottle, stat! If you had a fairy in a bottle to give to Jason you would. Not that you had one or even knew what it would do, but if there was EVEN THE SLIGHTEST HOPE that a fairy in a bottle would do anything right now, you'd give it to him without a second thought. Alas, you do not have a fairy in a bottle, or anything in a bottle right now for that matter, so this was a wasted thought. Once that thought ends though, you find a seat in the waiting room and just fall down into it. Normally you try to sit up straight or at the very least hold yourself together, but now... it seems like not even a single thing is holding you together right now, so you sit in the chair and slump down like you're made of jello, or more accurately jam. This is all your fault... why did you leave him alone with them? He didn't even want to go with them in the first place, the only reason he went was just to be nice. Yeah, he insisted on it once the deed was done, but still... you could have said no. You could have insisted that Applebloom and the others try something other than Lumberjacking... You could have done.... anything. You feel a shadow loom over you for a moment. Upon moving your eyes to look upward, you see Big Macintosh looking down at you with the same look he always has on his face. How can he remain so strong in a time like this? Suddenly, you feel something on your right rear hoof. As you look down, you notice Applebloom leaning up on it looking up at you. Ask the Crusaders exactly what happened out there. They went out lumberjacking with Jason and now he's all bloody. Make sure that the girl's didn't do anything stupid (well stupider than normal) that lead to Jason being hurt. Try to clean the blood out of Big Mac's mane since you are all in the waiting room with nothing else to do, and try to calm down Rarity. If Spike Shows up, have him calm Rarity down and send a letter to Twilight and the Princesses. No. Instead, you must ascertain the situation. Find out how bad Jason's injuries are, call Twilight because her magical abilities may help, and Applebloom precisely what happened then proceed to Applejack: Okay, check in with the medical staff, get situated, you'll probably wind up in a waiting room. While there, comfort Applebloom and ask her carefully what happened, everything she remembers... And let Big Macintosh comfort you if you need it. "Wha... what's going on?" You hear Spike ask... you didn't even realize he was there until you heard him speak. Probably heard Rarity scream, that's why he came here. "It's Jason...." Rarity finally says to him. You think she's looking at the door where Jason just went, but you aren't sure. You aren't looking at any of them. "Jason he...." "He what, what's wrong Rarity?" Spike asks worriedly. Everyone else is worried, so he must be getting the picture now. "He......" is all Rarity says. "He what? What happened Rarity?" Spike asks again, now even more worried this time, but the only response he gets is Rarity suddenly breaking into a sob and falling onto him. You're pretty sure she fell onto him, you heard him catch her. "Oooaaaaawwwwwhhhhhhhh did anypony get the number on that-" you hear what sounds like Fluttershy's. When did she get here? "FLUTTERSHY!" You hear Rainbow Dash yell. Yep, definitely her, yet for some reason, you don't feel compelled enough to look. "Rainbow Dash," you hear her say. "What's going..........." "Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash says back to her, sounding a little confused. There is a stone silence between them. For at least a few seconds. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" At this point you guess that Fluttershy must have seen the blood in Rainbow Dash's mane. "Wait! Fluttershy, it's not what it looks like!" Yep, definitely that. "Applebloom," you say to your little sister while all the other commotion is going on. She doesn't say anything to you, but you can feel her paying attention to you right now. You just can. "I want yah to tell me one more time. What happened?" "Ah don't know!" she responds rather quickly, and in a panicked manner. "We led Jason to tha tree we were gonna cut down, but then he said it was too big for us to cut down so we tried to find a smaller tree an we ran ahead back to the clubhouse where we stopped to wait for 'im but when he came back he was all bleedin and then he fell over once we saw 'im. It's the truth sis, Ah swear!" Now she sounds even more worried. "Don't worry, Ah believe yah," you say back to her. In truth, you do, you really do. You know Applebloom didn't do anything. There's no way she could have done something like that to him. No, this was something else. Above you, Big Macintosh was still looking down at you. How... just how... can he stay as calm as he can in a situation like this? "Um...." you hear someone else say that doesn't sound like any of your friends. You look back up to see Nurse Redheart standing in the room with you, she's looking at Big Mac. "There's a washroom down the hall. I don't know if the two of you would like to-" "That's mighty kind of you. Thank you," Big Macintosh says as he leaves the waiting room. Rainbow Dash goes with him............. AH TO TARTARUS! You're going too. You're gonna do no good sitting in here anyway. You got a little bit of blood on you too anyway. Big Macintosh wasn't carrying him the whole way after all. You started before he took over. -PERSPECTIVE SHIFT: Nurse Tenderheart- You and a team of nurses rushed Jason into one of the surgery rooms as quickly as you could. When you got there, there was already a team of ponies there waiting for him. "What do we got here?" One of them asked. "He was attacked," you respond to them quickly. "Some kind of wild animal. Probably a timberwolf." "All right," the doctor said right as he put his mask on. "All right, we need to-" Right before he could even finish his sentence though. You see something impossible.... the human's eyes suddenly snap open. "AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" The human suddenly screams as he starts thrashing around. Quickly, you and the other doctors leap on him to try and hold him down. "He's still conscious! How!?" One of the other doctors asks. "We need some kind of anesthetic now!" The head doctor yells, prompting another mare to run out and go get it. "Listen, it's all right," you try to tell the human. "You just need to-" "Mori!" he suddenly shouts as he tries to throw his hand towards the ceiling. "Revertere tu de abysso! Ad nihilum!" "What is he saying!?" one of the other doctors ask. You wish you had an answer. "Necabo! Vastabo te! Avo!" He keeps screaming. Suddenly, the other mare comes back with a unicorn doctor, who promptly uses a sleep spell on him. It seems to work. "All right, we need to operate on this guy right now!" the head doctor says as he begins to work. The other doctors follow him. You... you just stand back. "What was that?" one of the other nurses asks you. "It sounded like some kind of ancient Roanan." You wish you had an answer for her. -PERSPECTIVE SHIFT: Twilight Spar- "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ... ... ... PERSPECTIVE SHIFT: Twili- "RAZOR!!!!!!!!!" *sigh* Do you want a chapter Pinkie? "YES! You gave everypony else a chapter! Why can't I get one!?" Well because- "Because why!?" *starts tapping her hoof on the ground at a speed The Flash would envy* How do I know that this is gonna have ANYTHING to do with the story? "Because I AM part of the story. DUH!!! Even if I bake cookies it'll still contribute SOMETHING to the story!" *starts tapping even faster now... if that is somehow possible.* With the others I can be sure of that... but you're.... "I'm what?" You... basically. "..." ... "..." ... "..." ... *SIGH* ALL RIGHT FINE I'LL GIVE YOU A CHAPTER!!! "YES! *Starts bouncing up and down like a maniac... in my house* Don't worry Razor Bazer I won't let you down! I'll have the best chapter this story's ever had! And then I'll-" Right.... Okay, so where are you? "Where? *stops bouncing* I'm right here." No, I mean where are you in the story? Like what were you doing before all this started happening? "Well, I was...." Was what? ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... You have no idea do you? "Maybe." *SIGH!!!!!!!* How am I supposed to have a chapter with you if you don't even know where you are!? "Does it matter?" *opens mouth to respond, but stops* You know, now that I think about it....... Ah f*ck it. Let's just get this over with. "YAY!!!!! *Hugs* Don't worry Razor! I'll bake you a nice, HUGE, DELICIOUS Cinnamon roll after this is all over!" *SIGH!!!!!!!* Remind me why I can't get rid of you? "*Giggles* Well because-" [The rest of this conversation has been cut by the Spacetime management (which is headed by Pinkie Pie herself strangely enough)] PERSPECTIVE SHIFT: Pinkie Pie You are Pinkie Pie. The Element of Laughter. And you have absolutely no idea where you are or what you are doing right now? What do you do? -SIDE STORY- -Ponyville- Golden Oaks Library *Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Gordon Freebrony are all still sitting around a table reading various books and scrolls. Zecora is no longer reading, having since given up on any attempt to locate the country of Iowa. Kirk, while reading from a book, looks over it up at Gordon, his gaze more than a little suspicious. Gordon however, is still lost in his book.* Kirk: We're leaving. *Kirk stands up, all eyes except for Spock's are on him* McCoy: What? K: I think we've seen all that we need to. We're leaving now. *Kirk leaves through the front door. Zecora just stares in the direction he went. Something about the way he worded that doesn't sit right with her. McCoy and Gordon get up immediately and follow him out. M: (under his breath) God dammit Jim. (heads out the door) *Gordon follows McCoy out the door, Zecora is right behind them, but Spock stops her just by speaking. Not to her, just by speaking.* Spock: Fascinating *Zecora turns to look at him from the door. S: If only the library attendant was still here. I would love to continue reading this. (Proceeds to close his book on magical theory and walk on out) *Zecora watches them leave for a second. She feels as if she should say something, but can't find the words.* -The Dalek Flagship: The Caesar- The Bridge Me: *drooling at something on screen* Dalek Spica: Master, the latest group of hatchlings have been... master? Are you listening? *turns to image on screen* Oh... *Image removed due to awesomeness* Me: Razor... Comic-Con... Darkstalkers... *foaming at mouth* brahggahgjgkdlkedlyhkdhtjkht Spica: MASTER HAS HAD ANOTHER WAIFU ATTACK! PREPARE THE ELECTRIC CURRENT MANIPULATOR! *Commander Swimming Dalek is staring at something on the screen. He is completely unable to take his eyes away from it and he's drooling somewhat... It's kind of worrying the other Daleks. Dalek Spica goes to try and start a conversation with him.* Dalek Spica: Master, the latest group of hatchlings have been.... master? Are you listening? Swimming Dalek: Razor.... Comic Con.... Darkstalkers.... *foaming at the mouth* Pinkie Pie: Oops. Sorry. 4th wall breach. One moment. -bzzzzt- DS: Commander... SD: Huh... what? What was I looking at? DS: Looking at sir? SD: What? (looks back between Dalek Spica and the screen. All the screen shows is empty space). Right.... so anyway, what were you saying? The Kitchen Unfortunately, neither Registered Anonymous or BRP have done anything that the author deems canon at this time. In the meantime however, have this picture The Control Room HAI: So, this is how you are supposed to do it. *Plays an over the shoulder tutorial video showing humans playing with their fingers. Nana: How do we do it? HAI: well, what we do is send the same impulses that would be received from those keystroke to the game and it responds. Nana: Ok. HAI: We will start off at normal speed, but you will want to speed it up after a while. It will appear to be a little slow soon. Nana: Ok. HAI: are you ready? Nana: One question. HAI: Shoot. Nana: Did you hack this game? HAI: This is, for you only, an unhacked version of Tetris. Nana: Thank you. HAI: Then lets begin. Nana: (She performed a Triple T-Spin, two four-liners, and an all clear in one go.) Hmm. Simple, yet, productive. HAI: Your doing good for the first few tries. Most humans wouldn't think of looking at the pieces while placing them. Well, since we are AIs that doesn't exactly apply to us. Nana: Not having a a focus point for my field of vision and lack of need of buttons helps. But there's one question... What's up with the pictures on the pieces on your side? *A tidal wave of blue pieces rained down on his screen.* HAI: Oh, you mean the power-ups? Well, seeing this is your first time, you haven't played enough games to unlock any. A few more plays, and you'll be performing all clears constantly all day, every day. Not to brag, but I played Tetris so much that I unlocked all the power-up! They are all a nice substitute for hacking. Nana: How often do you play VS. with BRP? HAI: Whenever he ran out if anime to watch. Let me tell ya, trolling him is hilarious, but he learns how to ignore it after a while. I'm pretty sure your friend R.A is giving him quite a time. Nana:... Anime? HAI: Nevermind. (They played in silence for a moment as their audience, the hackers, awed at their insane performance without hacking.) (Both of these happen, pretty much as described) *The hackers all stand there absolutely dumbfounded as they watch both the hacking AI and Nana play games of Tetris against each other at speeds that no human can hope to follow. To them, it looks as if the screens are suffering from epileptic seizures.* Nana: You know. As fun as this game is. I do not think that it provides an accurate demonstration of our abilities. Hacking AI: What do you mean? N: Well, we have a reaction time that is measured in picoseconds, and we can process information much faster than any normal- HAI: I see your point. *The game is still going on while they are talking* N: Yes. So even at it's highest speeds with all the powerups, this game would be... how do they say... a piece of cake... for us. HAI: All right. Well, what do you suggest? N: Hm.... something with strategy. Something that can more efficiently show which one of us can outwit the other. HAI: I agree. Unfortunately, I don't have any other games stored on my hard drive. Before BRP went and got stranded, he didn't think to take many games with him. He didn't think we'd be gone this long. Naturally. N: So we are stuck with Tetris? HAI: For the moment ye- Hacker 3: I.... I might have a suggestions *Everyone turns their attention to him, even the Hacking AI and Nana, even though their games don't stop. Slowly, the hacker reaches behind his back and pulls out a copy of Starcraft 2.*
