Chapter 1 This is War
We are always going to fight war, may it be against ourselves, or against virus, there is always going to be war~ Shadow
All of the Pegasus had finish bringing water to Cloudsdale so more rain clouds could be made later in the future. Almost every Pegasus except for Thunderlane, and 86 others that could not make it because they were all sick from the feather flu. Just like any other flu, you get sick, you cough, might run a fever, don't want to eat anything. But this Feather Flu is something different, as for 86 other Pegasus had caught the disease and they were all in the hospital. Rumble, the younger brother to Thunderlane was lucky enough to not catch the disease but he still needed to see his brother to see how he has been doing and to tell him that everyone got the job done. When Rumble walk to the hospital, he was shock to see every nurse running around so busy. Nurse Redheart ran pass Rumble completely unaware that the little guy was even there. "Excuse me Miss." Rumble said politely. "Do you know where my older brother is at?"
"I'm so sorry but I am just too busy to help you search for your brother, this Feather Flu is extremely contagious please come back another time." Said Nurse Redheart as she continues to run off, to help another patient out. Rumble did not like the idea to leave his older brother alone in the hospital, he was the first Pegasus to had caught the disease so Rumble was kind of worry about him. But Thunderlane will never leave Rumble alone; he made a promise to his little brother.
One week went by and it was a Saturday when Rumble went back to the hospital, there are 80 pony's in the hospital now. Only nine got to go home over the past week but three new patients came in, more pony's where leaving then coming but eighty is still high, even for Ponyvill Hospital where the max patients they can hold are sixty. This is almost as bad when Applejack made the Bake Bads and almost got the entire town sick.
Rumble was able to found his brothers room, cautiously Rumble open the door not to wake his brother but the as the door slowly open the more loudly the door creek. Which wok his brother, "Rumble?" Thunderlane ask very sickly.
"Hi there brother." Rumble replied in a quiet voice.
"Did we made it?" Thunderlane ask with a cough.
"We did, we couldn't have made it without Fluttershy's help."
"Fluttershy…help?" Thunderlane repeated back with some more coughs. "You guys must have been only a few wing power short if she had to help." Thunderlane chuckled a little but with each chuckled he made it only hurt him more.
Rumble smiled knowing how hard Thunderlane is trying to hold himself together. "You are going to be all right Big brother?"
"Of course I am Rumble, I'm not going to leave you, if I can beat this horrible hospital food, then I can beat this stupid feather flu." Thunderlane chuckled some more but with each chuckled that he made he cough just a little more, till the last cough which sounded like a smokers cough.
"I just wanted to see how you are brother bye." Rumble was about to step out of the room, being in a room with a sick pony might get him sick as well.
"Wait!" Thunderlane said at the top of his lungs which was not loud at all. "Don't forget that promise I made to you Rumble."
Rumble smiled. "I won't." As he closes the door, Rumble notices one of the nurses starting to cough a little. Rumble found one of those nurse masks and place it over his face so he won't get sick as he made his way outside of the hospital he saw one pony on a stretcher with a smokers cough, this pony was cough worst then Thunderlane was and right before one of the nurse turn the corner to the ER room one of them let out a slight cough.
