When they got back to the lab, Twilight turned the personnel back into humans since her and Hawkeye were still under observation, with both of them getting checked every hour on the hour for any changes. "Well here we are 10 hours later and no changes in either of you, all tests came back normal as expected." B.J. stated looking over the results. "Seems like our blood and your equine blood can be substituted for eachother afterall, which is a huge bonus in helping our cause."

"That is a huge benefit indeed, we might have a shot now but it is still a long shot. On another note, I think you all should get started on your studies with Equish anatomy." Twi said as she teleported a huge stack of medical books into the room and, to her thankful surprise, the others started reading them except Hawkeye since he motioned her to go upstairs. "Something wrong Hawky?"

"Not at all my dear wife, I was just curious what are we gonna do for our wedding and honeymoon is all? Keep in mind this is your world not mine so you would know what is the best setting for both accounts."

"Oh...well...I suppose that we could have the wedding at Cadance's castle, but I don't want a repeat of her wedding to happen. As far as our honeymoon is concerned we could always have a nice relaxing spa retreat."

"I didn't think you were into that kind of thing Twilly, you seem so statistical I didn't think you had time to relax."

"Everypony needs to unwind sometime in order to keep their stress levels in check otherwise they would drive themselves mad...I learned that lesson the hard way."

"As have I. As a matter of fact I was on my way to Seoul, which is how we used to get away and relax from the war, when we first had that fateful encounter. All those grueling sessions in the O.R really take their toll, there is only so much a person or pony can take before they snap. On another note, what happened at Princess Cadance's wedding that made you make that comment?"

"Well, it is kind of a long story Hawky..." Twi said as she started to describe all that happened in great detail, taking a good part of the day to do it breaking only for a bite to eat. Not long after she finished, Father Mulcahy came in out of breath and with a sad look on his face. "Something the matter Father?"

"Indeed there is Twilight, a pegasus just came to the front door and asked to speak with you. He said his name was Flash Sentry and he had a note he wanted to give you with an important messege, however, Beej and a few others just rushed him back to the 4077 since he had a nasty gash across his chest. To be honest, it looked like somepony tried to pierce his heart, he is in the O.R. as we speak but it doesn't look good...I'm sorry Twilight..."

Twilight paled as a look of pure horror and sadness crossed her face as Father Mulcahy gave her the note and a small hug before leaving the room. The moment he did, Twi opened the letter and immediately felt rage.

"Twilight,

The war is upon us, there was just an assassination attempt on your brother from changelings. Me and a few others of the guard were able to stop it."

"Clever of him wanting to deliver that messege like this to eliminate the chance of his magic being intercepted...However...it could have just cost him his life..." Twi said between choked sobs as she cried in Hawkeye's arms.

"Old friend of yours I presume by your reaction?"

"Yeah...one of my brother's personal guards and we even dated for a bit. Let's go try and save his life...I owe it to him."

"It is my duty as a surgeon to honor that obligation and as your husband to comfort you when you are like this. Let me guess, old favor?"

"No Hawky...I owe it to him to try and save his life since he once saved mine." Twi then teleported both of them to the prep room where Twi did a quick blood inventory as they quickly scrubbed up and got into gear before making their way into the operating room. The others jumped in shock seeing the couple, especially Twilight, ready to go so quick.

"What is the current status and what blood type should we use?" Hawkeye asked as he started working on the wound.

"Not good due to one of his arteries being ruptured," Beej replied without looking up, "as for the blood type it's-"

"Sweet...Celestia...no..." Twi replied cutting B.J. off as she looked at Flash's chart. She had already took the time to match what type of blood to use with each Equish blood type and her heart sank to her stomach as she saw Flash's. "O- would be the blood type to use...and we don't the first pint of it in stock, we're out...he's a dead pony and there is nothing any of us can do to save him. The closest one that could donate would probably be Berry Punch and by the time I got enough he would have done passed away. The big catch 22 to our internal magic is it can't heal fatal wounds, so in short, you are working on him for nothing. I could use a spell to slow the bleeding but it would only buy 15 minutes extra time, nowhere near enough." She trotted up to his head and gave him a sad kiss goodbye. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you, your sacrifice was just...you were just doing your duty and for that all of Equestria is forever thankful..Now," she then turned away as the beeps on the heart monitor began to slow

"Goodbye...Forever..." She said as she got to the door just as the monitor flatlined.

"...Amen..." She sadly finished as she left the room.
