Hooves of war ch. 2: Reborn and reenlisted
A/N: I do not own My Little Pony, only my OCs; any reviews would be nice, and a shout-out to my editor and any reviews would be nice. This is my first anthro MLP
Looking around the sterile white room, which combined with the machines that were whirring and beeping and pissing him off, Grimm assumed he was a hospital. Letting his eyes lazily scan the room he decided that staying still wasn't for him and he tried to push off the bed only to be greeted with a shock that his arms didn't work.
"Well this fucking sucks because I am getting sick of being here now I wish I could be freed from this hell" so he gritted his teeth from the pain the movement was causing and gave it another round only to have the nurse walk, or more to the point shuffle in and catch him and the nurse said with her concern and tender voice soothing to his ears, "Sir you need to stay still I will get the doctor because you may have noticed a few different things that we will have to explain" and Grimm fell back into the pillows, a scowl slowly growing across his face. Waiting for what felt like forever he hummed a song that was on his mind then sang quietly but even so didn't notice the figures walking into the room, "He hit the ground the sound was splat and his blood went squirting high his comrades were heard to say a helluva way to die".
As he went to move to the second verse and finish the song he heard a voice that got him looking around saying, "that song seems to be extremely dark so can you find something more light hearted after the doctors look you over?" and Grimm looked and saw a light cerulean pony looking at him standing next to someone he could tell was obviously very important. Making sure he was quiet Grimm saw the doctor hold up the dog tags that Grimm had hanging on his bed and said
"I see that you are from here in ponyville with a B+ blood type and are military so do you know what happened to you?" and all Grimm would say with the sarcasm evident in his voice, as he really wanted to leave the building and get on with his life, "Yeah I remember getting hit with something and getting drug on the ground really fucking up my limbs then get a sign dropped on me all before noon why were you expecting some war tale?" and the doctor turned around and left as someone else came close to the bed putting him on edge.
"Well sir please do not struggle and I will explain what happened to you" and Nurse Tenderheart looked at the X-rays saying
"When you came through the portal it was in a way that had you flying and the landing did enough damage to your forelegs that they had to be amputated" before putting the ones of his forelegs up and then said "the lower legs were shattered by the sign and there was less than a 50-50 chance to save them and the damage was too much so we had to remove them". Taking the news in silence Grimm, who had all but stopped being shocked by war wounds whistled and asked, the sarcasm in his voice getting Angel, who was asleep in the chair on the other side of the room laughing,
"That's nice so when can I get out of here because I mean like what the hell this sucks" and he saw the princesses looking over at him and he looked nervous and asked
"Ma'am I wonder who are you and when will I be able to use these?" and he gestured toward the wings. Seeing the fluttering of black bat like wings dash muttered "Well I can't believe that he has wings like that" and having thought that Grimm wasn't paying attention, she was stunned when he muttered "The dark wings will not give me the air of a demon and I really hope to get the chance to fly soon" and he laid back and tried to close his eyes until Dash looked at princess Luna and the nurse looked him over and made Dash smile hearing
"His wounds are still healing but he can get out of the hospital bed if you allow it" and Luna looked at dash and said
"You are in charge of getting him in flying shape and that means as soon as you can and even involve spitfire if you want and make sure he is still alive after training" and Dash smiled and laughed as Grimm, standing up from the bed shakily as he had not been on his feet for two weeks, fell over and landed right on his face moaning as the pain shot threw his snout. Trying to get both of his forelegs under him Grimm muttered
"I really can't believe I am making a fool of myself being unable to walk" and he tensed slightly, having not expected anyone to care about him, as Dash slid under him to help him get back onto the four fake legs. Sliding under him the harness felt a little loose and Grimm muttered
"Hey do you think you can tighten the harness so I don't lose my legs?" and dash smiled and nuzzled his neck, which even though was done in a friendly manner still had an impact on him as he blushed before lifting off as she said
"Don't worry your legs will be fine now let's start" and he lifted up, slowly but steadily as he was a newbie operating near the wonderbolts HQ, into the clear blue sky and the quiet skies were shattered by the voice of Grimm's oldest friend Storm Stomper, a bigger Pegasus with the heavy grey wings of a condor and his bluish-green mane, who for some reason decided his friends misery made the perfect joke as he came from his six o'clock started yelling as he got close bringing a smile to the battered features of his best friend
"NANANANA BAT POTATO!" and he started to laugh and the harness that had been on his back holding his legs to his body, fell off as it came untied snagging his wing and he realized it too late and yelled
"Oh shit this is going to hurt!" as his forelegs fell off diving to the ground and back legs soon followed and the wing being forced down dropped him straight to the ground in a barrel roll. Slamming straight into the ground he screamed with pain as his muscles contracted and his muzzle was covered in mud and blood. Seeing the landing that was terrifying Spitfire landed close and yelled out, to someone Grimm couldn't focus on as he was barely focusing,
"We need the medical team here now!" and Storm picked up his best friend and said with a barely suppressed chuckle
"Well I guess we have a fried potato on our hands and at least he isn't mashed he just needs chives and sour cream" and exactly like Pinkie Pie he pulled out a container of sour cream and a bundle of chives setting them on him as Grimm muttered
"I swear to god for doing that I will kill you next time I get the chance and no poking with a fork" as Angel, who had seen the whole thing poked him with a fork. Dash giggled as she carried him to twilights house, the whole time he was screaming before she put him under and said quietly "As this colts tags show he is a soldier and Dash the way you care about him we have to talk" and she started to set him up with permanently attached legs as Storm still went flying chuckling exactly like pinkie pie.
