Head Hunter slowly regained consciousness, and was surprised as to what he found. He was not hurt. He was not dirty. He was not on the ground. He was in a bed. Had he gone back to his home in the Mann Co arenas?
His vision slowly faded from black to white, then cleared as he saw he was in a hospital bed. He closed his eyes again and let out a semi-relived sigh. He was still in Equistria. Or at least he was pretty sure he was. He heard the door open, so he sat up a little to see the nurse walk in. As was expected, she was a pony with white fur and a Red Cross as a mark.
"Now now, careful. You been through a lot. You understand me, right?" She said, walked over to the wounded sniper.
"Yes, thank you. Where am I?" He looked around, but there where no clear tells as to the city he was in.
"Canterlot. Why? Did you expect to be elsewhere." She checked some medical-looking equipment that Head Hunter didn't recognize.
"Not really. I have come to expect strange and otherwise impossible things to happen." He laid himself back down.
"There are some people here to see you. It has been a while since one of you have came into our little land." She took a few steps back to allow Head Hunter room to prepare to leave. "You are in fit condition, so you may leave whenever you want. The people are waiting for you out in front of the hospital."
Head Hunter took inventory, and realized that he was only wearing his Blu shirt and his pants. His hood, vest, stone songbird, and back-shield-turned-backpack were on a table next to his bed.
"Where... Where are my weapons? I need my weapons." Head Hunter said, making sure that his vest was still intact.
"They were confiscated. You will not need them here, and the royal guard will return them when your a ready to leave." Satisfied that the sniper could take care of himself, the Nurse turned to leave.
"Wait. The Pony who came with me. I think his name was Time Turner?"
"Pony? You where the only one we found. Sorry." She walked out.
Head Hunter checked his pockets, and was surprised to find that his switchblade and Ludgermorph when still hidden inside. He felt better being armed. He felt bare and naked without a firearm anymore.
He walked out the front doors of the Hospital to find a decent sized group of ponies waiting for him.
"Celestria, good to finally meet you. Luna, ma lady. Twilight... Sparkle was it? Applejack, I have heard great things about your... Products. You must be Pinky Pie. You are well known... Well everywhere in this country. Rarity, is it? Fan of your works. Ah, Shining Armor, Cadence, you didn't have to come down just to see me. And you must be FlutterShy." Head Hunter finished as he walked around the group.
Celestria stepped forward. "How do you know our names? What did you mean by Shining Armor and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza coming down for you? Speak!"
Head Hunter was confused, but was about to reply when the sounds of wings flapping caught his attention. Suddenly, Rainbow Dash flew in and landed infringing of him.
"Sorry I'm late, I got bored so I did some laps around the city. My name's Rainbow Dash and I am... Hey, are you okay?"
Taken back in shock, Head Hunter took a few steps back, the reached into his vest to pull his Luger.
"Your... No, No, No, You DEAD."
