"BEHIND ME!" Celestia and Luna both commanded in unison, and getting the ponies to safety was the primary objective. Upon hearing the crashing and shouting, Shining Armor Stormed into the room, taking a defensive position between Cadence and the Elements of Harmony (Twilight and her friends) and the huge monster bearing down on them. The creature looked them all over once, then roared an ear-splitting bass note, before engulfing itself in a pillar of fire. The sun brightened and intensified, to the point where even Celestia was having hard time dealing with it. Slowly backing out towards the door, away from the creature that had replaced the alicorn foal and was covered head to toe in red plated armor and spikes, with curious black geometric patterns decorating the massive beast's body. The group broke into a full galloping retreat from the creature, while Pinkie Pie frantically tried to apologize for punching him. It rips clean through the wall that had previously protected them. Celestia had been expecting this, since it was almost two stories tall. Rending fleeing ponies to pieces as it tore through the hospital. The entire elite royal honor guard was swept away in a single swipe, luckily not killing any due to their thick armor. Twilight suddenly came up with an Idea involving tree limbs and blunt force trauma. She relayed it to the others, and they all teleported away, the other princesses taking the earth ponies and pegusai, while twilight took Pinkie Pie to a high up tree branch. As if it knew exactly where Pinkie was at all times, Teino whipped around, leveling even more of the hospital with his bladed tail. The young alicorn was not very confident in her plan, to say the least. Teino lumbered toward her in full stride. She set her plan in motion by starting a cut in the branch with her magic. Meanwhile, the pink party ponies hair was becoming straight and floppy to the point where she was started to look emo. Her natural colors had darkened enough to become a mottled red. She kept muttering to herself that it was "All my fault" and how "I screwed it up and now everypony is dying." Twilight regarded her friend with a sense of pity, but more so a sense of loss. What if the party pony that they had grown to know and love never came back? A quake derailed her train of thought on the subject. The Groudon was directly underneath the branch she had sawed down. Her plan was working! She cut the last few grains of wood and watched the huge limb fall.
Teino felt something large fall on top of his head, splitting in two. Of course, this Groudon form was more like being the hulk; never really being conscious during the experience. But the limb snapping over his head had shaken him out of his stupor. He looked on in horror as he inspected the grievous damage done to the hospital. He slowly lost the shape of Groudon, the one he associated hot, boiling anger with, quickly becoming something more akin to grief and tragedy. He found the perfect form in his mind, the feline form of an Absol. Twilight observed in wonder as the red hulk seemed to melt, being replaced by something feline. It had a short snout, two red-amber eyes, one obscured by a tuft of hair slicked down across his face from his mane. A sickle-shaped appendage protruded from the side of its head, identical to the one on the foal she had found. The scimitar tail was also present. She watched as it approached the writhing body of a disemboweled doctor. His horn started to glow, but all twilight could think was the phrase "putting them out of their misery". She teleported down, behind the strange creature, shouting "STOP! Don't hurt him, please! You can kill me, just don't kill anyone else! PLEASE!" she pleaded with it, only for it to glance at her, and then keep walking towards the mortally wounded pony that was trying to get away as best it could. Twilight latched herself to its back leg. He looked back at her with a mix of annoyance, shock, and something Twilight hadn't been expecting: sorrow. In a surprisingly young voice he said "I just want to help them!" Of course, Twilight couldn't understand a word he was saying. He tried to keep walking but Twilight persevered, trying to obstruct him from the injured hospital worker. He shoved her off as best he could without injuring her. He nimbly jumped over to the doctor and touched his glowing horn to the mare's chest area. There was a flash of light, and, to Twilight's amazement, the doctor, instead of being obliterated, was completely healed! She was overjoyed by the breakthrough with the mysterious newcomer! She quickly realized that she had kept him from healing a mortally wounded pony! At this Twilight almost fell into a depression, until Teino came back over, jerking his head as if saying 'Come on, we haven't got all day!' she understood, then held up a hoof for one sec. She was relieved to find Pinkie where she had left her, although the ever-present depressed expression on her face worried her. Twilight went over and said in a soothing voice "Pinkie, it's time to go, we have a new friend waiting on us!" she said, pointing downwards.
"Well whoop-de-doo, taking me on another adventure where I'll be nothing but deadweight and problems for you. You might as well leave me here to die. It's not like I'm useful for anything."
Twilight could only stare at her friend in shock. No one had ever seen Pinkie Pie frown for more than ten seconds, much less seen her depressed. Twilight knew there were three ways to go about this: first, convince Pinkie that she IS worth it, no matter what she thinks of herself. Second, force her to come with. Third, leave her where she was. Twilight immediately banished any thoughts of the third option. Leaving behind a friend wasn't even a remote option. She thought that trying option one was probably her best chance. Twilight turned towards her dreary friend. "Pinkie, we all need you! You're the laughter of the team, the glue that keeps the whole thing running. Without you, none of us would probably have nearly as many friends, Ponyville would become a haven for crime and hate, and above all, no one would ever laugh! Pinkie, you are the most important person in the town!" Upon hearing these remarks, Pinkie progressively got better not only on the inside, but visibly as well. Her coat became pink again, her mane and tail curled up, the bags under her eyes disappeared. A huge smile cracked her face, making Twilight smile as well. "Let's go!" she yelled as her and Twilight teleported down. Pinkie was amazed that the friend that Twilight spoke of was a cat with a horn and was twice as tall as either of them. Once he had finished healing everypony in the hospital, including the scratched up face, he opted to return to the neutral state, the alicorn. After watching the Absol melt away to reveal a form half as tall as them, Twilight was dumbfounded by his abilities to not only change his size and mass, but his form and abilities as well. She wanted to question him all about it, but he slunk away to the nearest bed to rest. 'After all,' she reasoned, 'healing around twenty mortally wounded ponies is no easy task for even the most adept spell casters.' She stood near the bed he was in, unsure of what to do. She looked over at him. Despite his strange form, Twilight found it to be the cutest thing she had ever seen, quickly jumping into the bed with him, she discovered that his mane wasn't actually spiky, nor were the solid. They were just areas of cozy warmth. She snuggled up as tight as she could, falling into a deep sleep as Pinkie went around giving mini not dead parties. As the sun set, Celestia and everyone else from before returned to make sure that everyone was safe. To their amazement, none was killed or even seriously injured, even a nurse that Celestia had knew she had seen brutally rent in two.
She let it slip for the moment when she came across Twilight and the foal cuddling, giving them a warm smile.
