"ugh... My head, it... f-feels like someones got a sledge hammer... a-ugh-and beat my over the head with it" It was bright, Real bright. it took some time before solars eyes adjusted to the lights in the room.
it took him another minute to regain enough of his strength to be able to lean himself up against his bed rest. Once he had done so, he looked around the room and observed that it was relatively clean and everything looked in perfect order, almost like it wasn't even in a crash. Which got Solar questioning how long he was out for...
a voice beside him piped up.

"SOLAR! Your awake!" he then promptly received a rather painfully tight hug from whoever owned a purple hoof... Wait, a purple WHAT!Solars head snapped around to see a smiling pony, Purple in color and with a horn on top of her head...
"Twi-*cough*-light?" Before his older sister could say anything, another voice came from behind Solars head.
"do you honestly think all of us wouldn't be here for you?" solar turned around to see his older brother, and entire family. It was a sight to behold for solar, to see his entire family with him. Then behind them he could hear his friends voices "Solars awake!" "Come on guys!".

They pop out from behind his family members and go to the foot of the bed, everyone starts talking and fussing over him.
Solar was so happy that he was finally home, and he could tell them about his adventures and what he has done, of cause they would already knew because he was on the bridge last time.

Solar hesitantly asked the question that was pressing on his mind, fearful of the answer.
"how long was i out for?" "six months captain, and you missed out on a lot sir, kind of sucked that you were out for all of it" behind everyone, was Catherine who squeezed passed two of solars friends to greet her captain.
"six months? huh, i was fearing it was a lot worse than that...so what happened?"
Catherine just stood there for a moment to think, while doing so solar looked around some more and noticed something...odd about everyone.

they all looked, young. Not the normal kind of young like when someone biological clock is that age, but, at the same time it was. Solar knew that with how long he had been gone, everyone should be showing signs of aging, he then paid closer attention to Catherine to notice that she was in academy uniform, and looked like she just got out too, not someone who has been in service for the years that she had actually been in service for.
then he looked over to twilight. she was a filly.

"Son of a Bitch..." Solar was biting down hard and was talking through clenched teeth. The pain he was going through was excruciating, and from little he could move his head by, he could see his blood pooling around him.
"damn, must have been through'ed, Ugh this *Cough Cough* day keeps getting better"
Solar managed to get a good look at himself, he could see that he was bleeding badly from one of his hind legs, but that was manageable, what wasn't was his situation.
He could lift the hulking masses of metal on top of him and get his leg fixed up, but he wouldn't be able get up from the pit for a couple days and for him to survive he would need water to replenish the blood he losses and food, and he could go though the window because despite all his efforts, some of the ship was still hanging over the edge of the cliff, just enough to make it impossible for him to leave the pit with out any assistance.

Solar then heard someone jumping down, landing behind him and then the scuffle of shoes Leather, standard soles with 1.2 MM...wait, Hey you aren't supposed to be reading my thoughts jackass! Uhhh Sorry solar...umm, where was i?
Me, dying. Don't be so melodramatic, and stop breaking the fourth wall. Its disrespectful.

The Person came around to the front of solar so he could see who it was, it turned out to be catherine.
"Oh thank heaven you are still alive, i thought we had just losed our captain."
"Catherine, I'm going to point out the problem with you being here" he weakly said, still coughing here and there and having difficulty breathing.
"did you just decide to- *Coughing* Just decide to say bugger him and ditched him, or what?"
"Ensign Emily was running towards the bridge to check up on James, when she saw she wanted to take him instead, letting me be able to come back to the bridge." a look of worry was in her eyes, she could see alot more of the situation then solar could and the look in her eyes meant it he was in trouble.
"good thing too, you look..." She shakily breathed in when she looked solar up and down again, the worry grew into fear.
"Oh... I-I Don't"
"One word at a time"
"Right... I might be able to...get you out... but, i don't think you are going to make it to a medical facility in time."
"Thats why doctors make house calls! speaking of which, you look like shit captain." the voice came from a new arrival, a well known doctor and surgeon who goes by the name Kraven Bats. But everyone just calls him Batman.
"oh, hey batman... What villain are you going to save me from today" Solar weakly replied, unable to look up due to the pain that would cause him.
"your stupidity captain. And no, i am not going to give you a break even if you are currently impaled which i think you are." he growled at solar, scolding him for being reckless " you four! stop wanking before your arms become jelly and get down here, we need to lift all this crap off him before we can move him." Kraven just yells out to ship enlisted maintenance crew he had brought with him, and waves them down.
Kraven looks at solar for a moment, quickly examining his head for any damage before shifting over to his first aid medical kit, where he begins to pull things out to begin his examination.
"Alright, i want you to open your eyes and just look forward, things are going to get a bit bright for you but don't close them" Kraven turns on a flashlight and begins to check Solars eye dilation, looking for any abnormality.
"you do realise I'm not human right, meaning my eyes could react differently to the test" "True,like the good doctor i am, i studied your medical records and i know that your eyes react very similary to a humans eyes. so whatever your eyes tell me, i should know whats going on inside your head." Kraven reply's, to busy to be sassy or scold solar for being stupid again.
"alright, you check out. How are we doing with all the... oh F### eheh, looks like you actually were impaled. Ok, change of plans people, We have to keep what ever is in him otherwise things are going to get messy." one of the Crewmen replied back to Kraven orders.
"well that problematic, because some of this stuff is still attached to the ship it self, i mean we could get it out of him, but not detach it from the ship with out a plasma Torch to cut the alot of this stuff, and we would have to cut it fairly close to his skin to get keep weight down so we are able to lift him out of here"
The two begin to ague about how to get solar out, Then solar himself decides to act. "Just remove everything, and I'll use my magic to fix the worst of the damage"
Catherine Objects to solars idea, telling him that if he passes out before the worst of the damage is healed, he is most likely going to die But solar says what he can to reassure Catherine that the idea is perfectly safe and not to worry.
while Catherine was considering Solar's point, Kraven had other ideas.
Kraven pulls out a syringe from his first aid kid and jabs solar in the neck with it, quickly injecting the liquid contained inside into Solar.
Solar doesn't even realise what happened before blacking out.
"Kraven, why did you just-" "I ain't letting the captain be stupid about this. will get a basic pulley system set up and well hoist him up out of here, I am not letting him gamble away his life for the sake of convenience, this ship needs a captain and the UNSC needs a captain like him, he is a vital asset and i will not let him risk his life" He looks up to Catherine for a moment, waiting for her to nod in confirmation. Once she had nodded he went back to Solar and inspecting what was going to be a problem.
"Why can you never take the easy way out captain..."

Hours later:
"so when is he going to wake up?"
"as soon as he is ready for duty, otherwise he'd leave the bed before he is ready"
"and when is that"
"Soon as he wakes up"
Kraven replies smugly, well knowing that what he just said is going to rub Catherine the wrong way.
"Bloody hell Kraven stop being a smart ass and give me a straight answer before i bend you over and kick your ass through a bulkhead."
Kraven looks over to the captain.
"well, from judging from previous medical incidence, it appears that his race can heal at significantly faster rates than a human can, i mean if a human was in the same predicament the captain was in then there would be no point in trying to save him, but because of the equines healing factor that they poses, it is possible that he can survive this!"

"wait, possible?, i thought you said that he was-"
"As ok as he is going to get, for now at least. Without extensive medical training for equines or at least some kind of veterinarian experience, i have done to the best of my ability. His body differs from a humans by a substantive amount. At least i was able to fix most of the damage otherwise he would be in one of the graves we have down there." kraven said with a calm demener. looking around the room, quickly checking out how many people that were currently in medical before returning to Catherine with a question.
"Catherine... How are you going to-"
"i honestly don't know. I mean in this job you have to get used to the idea of loss and death, especially since we are in a war with the covenant, and you would think eventually you would, But... It never does get any easier."
"Catherine, i don't fancy your job, but someone has to tell him when he comes around. Just make sure that when you do, you make sure he knows it ain't his fault, its the bastards who started this whole thing."
"I'll try, but i don't think telling him that will matter because in his mind, he would of failed them. I know how Solar thinks and he will blame him self for this" Catherine walks over to Solars side and grabs a chair to sit in, observing all the injures that solar had sustained, she sighs and then starts to recount an old memory.
"Kraven, remember Aterax VII?"

Kraven pulls his gaze from a recently acquired clipboard to look at Catherine.
"yea, i heard of it, Solar saved over eight civilians from covenant forces. Made him a hero after that, not just some weird horse that was climbing the ranks."
"well, before solar had gotten any medals, he tryed to resign from the UNSC because he felt like he failed it"
"What? why the hell would he do that after saving people?"
"Because people died. He felt like he failed because he couldn't save everyone that was down there. three people died, one of them being my sister."

"Holy shit, i'm so sorry for your loss."
"its ok, i have had plenty of time to grieve for her. Solar on the other hand, still blames himself for her death, it constantly weighs and haunts him that my sister died, and he always blames himself and doesn't understand why i don't too"
"well, why don't you?"
"because he was against over a couple hundred in covenant forces. He trying to keep everyone safe using his magic, creating a barrier between us and them but a stealth team snuck in from behind and cut my sister in half and the two others before anyone even noticed the energy swords engaging. Solar did the easiest thing he could at the time, which was rip them all in to two pieces and... it doesn't matter, what does is that its not his fault my sister died, and he got the Covenant S.O.B that did it, he even gave me the energy sword so i can always remember that justice was served just as quickly as the perpetrator committed the crime.

"Have you tryed convincing him to get some counseling?"
"that thick head? I couldn't convince him to go even if i tied my words to a MK3 shevia nuke and rammed it through his skull. its like auguring with a brick wall!"Catherine chuckles from her statement and then sighs, looking at the captain, who was currently unconscious like you would expect
"Its a nice brick wall though, and sometimes its a lot of fun. By the way, how did you two meet Kraven? i mean you haven't even really said anything about it."
"The past is the past and talking about it ain't going to get jobs done" Kraven turns around and begins to flip through the pages on the clipboard
"OI, you just listened to my sad story so spill the... ah forget it...prick" Catherine mumbles the last part, hoping kraven doesn't hear.
"I heard that!"
"You shouldn't have been listening!"
"hey Catherine, i'm awake and i need a minute of your time" Sol calls out, having just woken up due to "Equine magic!"
"Hey sleepy head, your awake! you didn't take much of a nap! if kraven finds out you are up so early he would spew death it self at you" Catherine says while walking up to a side of solar bed, then sits on the side to get off her feet.
"heh, i would like to see him try. anyway i would like to get out of medical real soon... and i mean REAL soon... i kinda can't take just sitting here on my hind doing nothing... can you help me,um, convince Kraven to, just maybe, let me out early or give me some kind of hit me up to help me up?"

"with all do respect, You need the rest sir, and its only a year"
"oh, that not...wait...WAIT WHAT!" Solar's eyes shoot wide open in shock and his jaw opens in horror
Catherine losses it and begins to laugh uncontrollably at Solar's reaction.
He cues on to Catherine's antics and quickly snaps back into his usual attitude, albeit a more annoyed version of it.
"har har har... very bloody funny. will you help me or not?"
"Well kraven said you would be ready for duty as soon as you got up... but i'm pretty sure when he was saying that he thought you were going to be out for a fair bit longer..."
"well i feel fine... so just-"
"BLOODY F$ #ING HELL WHAT THE ABSOLUTE NINE HELLS ARE YOU DOING YOU STUIPED BLOODY IDIOT!"
"ohhhh shit, that was kraven wasn't it?"
"I Think so Captain..."
"i'm screwed"
