Part 2: Chapter 6:
Alpha slowly woke up, rolled off the stretcher and fell to the ground with a thud. "Shit." He growled as he struggled to stand up. He began to walk forward when he felt un-balanced then realized his metallic wing was not on. Once he was balanced out, he walked around and found his brace, lying on the dust-covered ground. He took a deep breath and blew off the dust before placing it on his back and walking out of the ER. He shielded his eyes for the bright lights from the hallway…
But nothing came. It was dark, unbelievably dark. Almost as dark as the room he was in during his dream.
"What was his name? Nova?" Alpha muttered to himself. He looked down the hallway and saw some light coming from around the corner. Pushing the thought aside, he made his way towards the corner before turning and walking into the sunlight.
"Ah, Alpha." A red pegasi said cheerfully.
"John, is that you?" Alpha said, shielding his eyes with his left wing. "it's really bright here."
"Yeah, it's me." John replied as he walked to Alpha. "Can you do me a favor? I broke my wing at the factory the other night while helping some colts escape."
"So?" Alpha said as his eyes slowly adapted to the light.
"Scoots at school and it's about to end. She doesn't know her way here. Could you help me by bringing her here?"
Alpha slowly slipped on his brace and flexed it, feeling the magnetic metallic bones in his wing expand into the socket. "Where is it at?" He said once the wing connected to him.
"It's near Smith's workshop. Once you hear the bell, you'll know where it is."
"She's in middle school, right?"
"Good Morning, Beta."
"Morning, Alpha. Morning, John."
"Morning?" John said with a chuckle. "It's near 2 o'clock."
Alpha nodded. "I'll find it and bring her here."
"Isn't Scootaloo in Middle School now?"
"Yup." John replied proudly. "She is a great flyer with Rainbow Dash as a mentor."
