When the 3 ponies finally got to the hospital. Twilight, who was carrying CJ with her telekinesis, yelled at the nurses. "Get the bed ready." The nurses just stood there, looking at this...thing...that was leaving small puddles of crimson colored blood on the floor. "Well, why are you two just standing there? I thought I told you two to get a bed ready!" The nurses were still staring at the thing that's floating in the air. "What are you two doing! I SAID GET A BED READY!" With this, the nurses were finally snapped back into reality. They started running around, one nurse started tossing papers, bed sheets, and pillows as the other one caught them perfectly in place. The nurses finally hurried up the stairs, opening a door, and walked into a room that was circular, white, and had a little table in the middle of the room with all sorts of weird tools around it. There was a large observation room above it, almost like they wanted people to see CJ. Thankfully though, the area upstairs looked empty, and all the lights were off, so Twilight just assumed it wasn't bring used.
"Your not seriously thinking of putting him there are you?"
"Why of course, you said he was hurt badly didn't you?"
"Well yea, but we need to get his condition stabilized NOW, he's loosing a lot of blood!"
The nurses scrambled to get the bed ready, wiping it down thoroughly, disinfecting it with sprays that had a very strong chemical smell to it, then wiping it all down with a few towels, and finally carefully putting the sheets on the bed.
"No need to worry about the top sheet, he just needs to be stabilized then he should be fine." Twilight slowly sets down CJ onto the table, who's still losing blood. She saw that blood was stained into his shirt, "Well, I guess I'll have to clean them later, or get Rarity to make him new ones."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, while all that is going on, CJ awoke in an uknown place, it was...different, but it seemed vaguely familiar. Like he'd been there when he found all hope was lost, when everything was over, when he thought he'd lost everything. It was nothing but darkness, but it had a home-like warmth to it, like he was meant to live in that darkness. He'd appear here after falling asleep. However, all he did was set there and sulk, nothing happened, he just sat there, enveloped in a world of darkness and depression. He had absolutely no way out, yet this time, something was off. He didn't feel alone. He felt like...something was there. He could hear a sigh behind him.
"God, why do I have to be in here with you." CJ turned around to see what spoke to him. It looked like a florescent light just floating there. "W-what are you?" CJ stood there for a minute before it talked again. "Oh of course now you ask. I've been in here since you were little, and you just NOW notice I'm here. Seriously, could you be any more blind." CJ just looked at the orb as it talked with a smart ass tone, he just shrugged it off. He looked at it, it had a kind of reddish tent to it, not fully white, and for some reason, the light didn't blind him. The light was definitely bright enough to do that to someone who just recently saw it, like he did. He wasn't blinded though, which he found odd, but he finally responded to the orbs gesture. "I'm not blind you know, only near sighted, and that's why I have glasses" The orb just floated there for a moment and you hear a slight sigh.
"Of all the people she could put me in, it had to be this nerd. Look kid, you weren't teleported here by accident. Someone summoned you here, question is who?" CJ kind of stumbled from where he was standing, but regained his balance before he fell. "Y-You mean, I was SUMMONED here...b-by who?" The orb just floated around in the blackness that surrounded them a bit before it finally spoke. "I think I know who summoned you." CJ just stood there for a minute, waiting for the orb to answer his own question. "However, I'm not going to tell you. Your going to have to find out yourself." CJ stumbled again, after finally regaining his balance again, he just stood there.
"Why?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Just because I don't want to. Your just going to have to find out yourself."
"You're and ass you know that."
"Yep, and proud of it, oh looks like your ride out is here."
"What." CJ saw a blinding white light, he though Oh god, this is the end, I had so much to live for too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been 2 days since that accident happened that put CJ in the hospital. Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack were still unsure what to think about that thing they saw. The only reason Twilight saved it was to study this new creature, and figure out how it slept, ate, grew, etc. The other two just wanted to know what it was and why it was there in Equestria and if it was an enemy or friend. However, all 3 decided not to let any of the other mane 6 know about this accident. They told the nurses before they left to not tell a single pony, or there will be dire consequences. With that, they all went back to their homes and slept, except for one very curious pony.
What is that thing, it's different from any species of animal I've ever seen. It can speak a language we can understand, but can it understand us? I don't think I ever got to see it reply to any of our questions. Twilight though, little did she know, he had had a small conversation with Fluttershy that very evening. After she finally got out of her thought process, she hears a soft knock on the door.
"Spike, get the door will you, I'm kind of right in the middle of something."
"Sure thing Twilight," Spike hears more frantic knocking now, like someone is really trying to get Twilight's attention. "Hold on, I'm coming." Spike proceeds to the door and opens it slightly only to see the door get thrown open, almost coming off its hinges. Spike flew back after the door hit him with a resounding *thump* that went throughout the library. Spike got up, a bit bruised but ok. "What was that for," Spike looked too see who did it. It was surprisingly Fluttershy. "F-Fluttershy?"
"I'm sorry spike, but wheres Twilight, I need to tell her something."
"She's upstairs, why?"
"Ok, thank's Spike." Fluttershy proceeds to rush up the stairs and into Twilight's room. When she enters the room, she sees a very stressed Twilight. Her mane's all messed up, tail as well, and she's putting all of her attention to a book about weird monsters and animals.
"Twilight, I need to tell you something!"
Twilight proceeds to close the book, and from the books weight, dust flies everywhere when it closes, causing Fluttershy to sneeze. "Yes Fluttershy?"
"Well, I was chasing Angel through the forest, I lost him and couldn't find him. So I flew up into the air, and I saw him laying something on weird. I landed and asked what he was laying on. Then after that the thing started to move and talk to Angel. I was so scared, but when Angel led it back to my house, it wondered if it could meet the rest of the animals. Angel eventually brought out all the animals, and they were just instantly attached to this thing after it said a few words. T-then, I actually s-spoke to it, but not for long."
"Fluttershy, was it perhaps, a very tall creature with a case of some kind with it?"
"Y-yes, but the thing in the case isn't something scary. I-it's quite interesting to hear. It played music, but nothing like Equestrian music. I-I mean, this music was....different."
"Different?"
"Y-yes, n-nothing like we've ever heard. T-this thing, knew how to play it very good. It's like that thing was a part of his soul, and it spoke his true feelings through that thing. It's not evil I know that, it actually seems like a kind and caring....thing, but still. We have to do something about this thing."
"Well, I think differently. I saw it in Ponyville last night, and it looked like it was going to attack RD."
"O-oh"
"It's different I give you that. I think I can trust it because it didn't actually hurt RD, it just tickled her. Odd how it knew exactly where to tickle RD. Took me forever to figure out how."
"I-I don't think it's all bad. It may have a temper, but it's definitely not bad. If it was it would've hurt Rainbow Dash."
"You have a point Fluttershy, I must ask Princess Celestia and Princess Luna to come to Ponyville right away."
"Why?"
"That thing, it's in the hospital. Applejack overreacted when she saw RD fall on the ground. She thought it hurt her and she bucked it in the chest. We rushed it to the hospital afterwords, it was bleeding out of the mouth. Everywhere I went, there was always a trail of crimson colored blood following me. I could tell it was loosing more than it was supposed to."
"I-I hope it's ok."
"Me too Fluttershy, me too."
"B-before I go, c-can I a-ask you a question. T-that is if y-you don't mind."
"Of course Fluttershy, I don't mind."
"Why do you have to ask Princess Celestia and Princess Luna to come to Ponyville?"
"I must see if they know more about this thing, they need to know it's here in Equestria before anypony else does."
"O-oh, well make s-sure to come get me when w-we go see it. I wan't to ask it some questions."
"Wow, that's different Fluttershy, you're usually the one who stays quiet. Whats got you so interested in this thing?"
"I-It's different from everypony else. It got all of my animal friends to like it almost instantly. I've never seen anything like that. There's something to it, and I'm wanting to find out what it is."
"Ok Fluttershy. I'll get RD to go get you when it wakes up."
"Ok, thanks Twilight, and tell Spike I'm sorry for hurting him, I was overreacting a bit."
"A bit?"
"Ok, a lot. Still, I'm sorry."
"Don't worry Fluttershy, I'll make sure to tell him."
"Ok, well I guess I'm going to go and tend to my animals then. Bye Twilight."
"Bye Fluttershy."
As Fluttershy left the library, Twilight called down to Spike, requesting he write a letter. She could hear a bit of scurrying downstairs. Next, she heard tiny little noises as the scales on the dragons feet hit the stairs as he proceeded to go up them, making it into the room in no time at all, almost instantly.
"Yes Twilight?"
"Spike, take a letter." Spike proceeds to pull out a scroll and a quill.
"Ready when you are Twilight,"
"Dear Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.
Yesterday, something entered Ponyville. I have no idea what it is, but you may know. Its tall, has almost no hair or fur except for the top of it's head. The hair it has is very long, almost to its shoulders, at least I think it is its shoulders. It was also carrying a weird case, and Fluttershy said it was something that played music, unlike any we have ever heard. However, the thing is now in the Ponyville hospital thanks to Applejack. She thought it was attacking RD, but it was only tickling her. Applejack bucked it in the chest, and all I could understand was a slight "ow" before it passed out, so it must speak a language we can understand. It was still bleeding a lot by the time I got to the hospital, and was worried it lost too much blood. Thankfully though, they got it stabilized and under control. Now, we're just waiting for it to regain consciousness, and that may take a while. I'll reply when it finally wakes up.
Your Faithful Student,
Twilight Sparkle
With the letter written to the princesses, Spike spit out his usual green flame. Twilight watched as the scroll was slowly turned to ash as it was sent to the princesses. Once it was sent, Twilight went back to her studies and trying to find something on this creature.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
At the Canterlot castle in Equestria, Princess Celestia had just gotten ready for bed. It was late, and she was tired from all the duties she had to do that day. She was just getting to lay in her soft, warm, comfortable, and empty bed when a scroll appeared in front of her.
"Well now, Twilight's letter isn't due untill 3 days from now. I wonder what this occasion is?"
Princess Celestia proceeds to open the letter, and began reading it's contents. "Oh my, this is urgent. I must go tell Luna immediately!" Celestia didn't feel like running through the castle, so she just teleported. As the white light began to envelop her being, she thought. Took long enough for him to return. Luna was up on her balcony staring at the night sky, it gave her a lonely feeling as the moon, big and as luminescent as it was, made her remember her many years up there.
"I never want to go back to that horrible place, being alone is...depressing. I hate being alone, now that I'm back, I never want to leave my sister's side."
After finishing that sentence, Celestia teleported in, leaving a bright light as she finished. Almost like she was the sun herself on that lone balcony. Luna just watched as her sister walked up and laid down beside her on the balcony.
"Luna."
"Yes sister."
"The time has come, he has appeared. We need to take action now to get him ready."
"Whatever do you mean sister?"
"The spirit of the burned one has returned. This time we must make sure we don't have a repeat of what happened last time."
"I understand sister, but where is he?"
"He's in the Ponyville hospital as of right now, but soon he will awake. Then he will find out his -" During the middle of her sentence, Princess Celestia fell asleep. Luna laughed as she teleported her sister back to her bed to where she could sleep peacefully.
"Sleep well sister, I'll see you tomorrow morning." Before she went to bed, Luna thought one thing.
"So, the spirit finally returned bearing a new host from another world. You've truly outdone yourself old friend. I just hope you've changed. Welcome home......Phoenix.

*authors note* Ok, I don't plan on doing these much (referring to authors notes). This chapter was cut kind of short. The original one was absolutely NOTHING like this (almost twice as long though). This one its a ton better. I just hope I did better on this one. I also plan on releasing one or 2 a week. I can't do every other day. I'm still new to this, and I have school, band, and games to deal with. I've also got to finish Fallout Equestria. Btw if you haven't read it. I highly encourage you to. It is, well, Epic. Nuff said.
Also. Thanks to Kintra and Quillo for helping me out with my work. You guys are awesome, thanks for the help. My story would be less detailed if it wasn't for you guys giving me your criticisms. I know I need to get better at this, and I will. I'm just going to Keep strong and Brony On.
