>A pillar of fire erupts in front of you

>You're standing on a mesa surrounded by molten lava

>Cries of pain and suffering pierce your hearing

>Demonic screams of enjoyment follow shortly

"What..the....fuck?"

>You don't want to ask yourself the next question on your mind

>You already know, anyway

>It depends, though. You died in Equestria so are you in Tartarus or Hell?

>You quickly dismiss the thought. It doesn't really matter

>Both places are defined by Hellish...Tartarus-ish...torture and punishment

>More fiery pillars erupt around you, lighting the once dark ceiling and walls

>Bodies of mutilated creatures are mounted on the walls by chains

>From the ceiling hang what look like human bodies

>Most of them are burnt to a crisp and unmoving, but not all of them are dead

>They all hang from chains latched onto metal hooks embedded in their limbs

>Suddenly the burnt bodies begin to reform

>You watch one

>The head is first to reform its skin and appendages

>The human realizes what is happening and begins to scream

>But it's out of pain

>The body continues to reform itself, bringing great pain to whomever it belonged to

>Once most of the bodies reformed, you noticed darkened forms fly from the ocean of lava beneath you

>They pulled molten hot sharp tipped steel rods from the lava and flew up to the bodies

>With screams of delight they begin to poke and prod the bodies with the glowing hot spears

>Hell or whatever this place is has some fucked up physics

>The places where the spears poked begin to burn

>It turns the humans' flesh charcoal black

>The burns circle out from wherever they originated until the entire body is purged of its flesh

>Some of the unlucky ones caught fire

>More pillars of lava erupt from the sea of fire

>Expressions of fear can be seen on some of the humans' faces before they're engulfed by the pillars

>The lava pillars fall, revealing mutilated bodies, some melting but still hanging from the metal hooks

>You vomit seeing this

>A large shadow rises from the ocean of lava in front of you

>You can't make out its form, the shadow ever changing

>It forms a limb and attempts to crush you

>You quickly dive out of the way before it can turn you into a human pancake

>A fitting end, if it were meant to happen

>But fuck that. You're not letting this bastard, whatever it is, kill you that easily

>You dive off the side of the mesa

>You meet the lava

 

>You sit up quickly, your face soaking wet

>You immediately regret that decision and yell out in pain, falling back onto the bed

>Gasps escape your lips as you recuperate from the pain

>You slowly open your eyes, tears escaping them

"Ugh...where am I?"

>It hurts to even speak

>"You're in Ponyville General."

>You look to your right to see a white-coated mare with a nurses cap holding an empty glass of water

>You can hardly remember how you got here

>You move your head from left to right without moving your body

>Yep, you're in the hospital alright

>Ponyville General

"Why'd you pour water on my face?"

>"Sorry about that. You started moving erratically and that wasn't good for your body. So I had to wake you up."

>You probably didn't respond to any methods of waking you up

>Must be the reason why she resorted to the water

>Makes sense

"How did I get here?"

>"A couple of mares brought you in. Fluttershy and Applejack I believe were their names."

>Those two?

>For fucking real?

>They saved your life

>"You're very lucky, you know. Oh, how rude of me. I'm Nurse Redheart."

>She extends a hoof

>You attempt to reach up and take it, but your right arm replies with a sharp pain

>Yep, it's broken alright

>"Oh my, I apologize."

>She uses her mouth to remove your blanket partially

>Your torso is covered in bandages

>Your right arm is as well, but your left is unharmed albiet a few scrapes and bruises

>"As you can see, your right arm is broken. You also knocked your spine out of alignment but thanks to the best in Unicorn magic it's back to normal and healing. Just don't move too much."

>You thank her as she brings the blanket back up

>Another question rises in your mind

"Where are my friends?"

>She looks at you questioningly

"C'mon, I should've gotten at least -one- visitor."

>She walks to the door and opens it

>Six mares of different color fall through once the doorway is unobstructed

>A green and purple dragon stands atop the pile

>They were obviously listening in

>"Anon, you're okay!"

>Spike jumps off the pile to your bed and hugs you around your neck

"Spike! It's good to see you man."

>He releases your neck and stands on the bed next to your legs

>Pinkie Pie is the second to get to you, quickly separating herself from the mare pile and jumping at the side of your bed

>"YOU'RE AWAKE, YOU'RE AWAKE, YOU'RE AWAKE, YOU'RE AWAKE, YOU'RE AWAKE, YOU-"

>You silence her the usual way

>Reaching out with your left hand you grasp her behind her head and pull her in for a kiss

>You close your eyes as hers stay open with surprise

>Several "awws" can be heard from the rest of the mares

>You break the kiss and look deep into Pinkie's eyes

>She gives you a look of confusion

>Her mane and tail, still flat and colorless, slowly twitch

>Either something going to fall, or happiness is bubbling in her gut

"Pinkie...fuck rules. I want to be with you. I don't care what anyone says. I'm staying with you. I love you."

>Her mane and tail twitch like crazy before poofing back into their normal shape

>Her color returns completely and she tears up

>You hug her around her neck with your left arm as best as you can without moving your body

>Oh fuck it

>You brave the pain and sit up, pulling her close to you

>Nurse Redheart almost attempts to make you lie back down, but decides against it

>Applejack walks up to the bed, unbeknownst to you

>You end the embrace and lie back down

>Applejack moves closer and looks to you with a downtrodden expression

>You're still somewhat hostile around this mare even though she saved your life

>"H-Howdy..Anon."

"Hi..."

>The silence could be cut with a knife

>Nurse Redheart, sensing the hostility from you, leaves the room

>You stare at Applejack, unsure of how to react to her presence

>She does the same

>It's silent for a few more seconds

"Thanks...for saving me."

>You don't look her in the eyes when you say this

>"I-It weren't no problem, Anon. Fluttershy saw ya go into the forest. Ah only went with her when she told me.."

>Told her?

>Fluttershy saw an opportunity

>Pretty fucked

>But still, they -did- kinda save your life

>Fuck it, they need some reaming

"So...you went with her because you had a chance to get to me...didn't you?"

>She wraps her left front hoof around her right nervously, looking away from you

>"Yeah...sorry 'bout that."

>You wave a hand dismissively

"Applejack...Fluttershy. You both saved my life. I can't really forgive you for all the shit in the past, but...I suppose we can start off the right way."

>She looks to you and smiles, tears in her eyes

>"Anon...Ah'm sorry."

>She breaks down

>"Ah'm so so sorry...if it weren't for me ya wouldn't have tried ta do yerself in..."

>She has a point

>But she's...apologizing?

>"Ah swear, Anon. No more funny business from me or Fluttershy."

>She manages to say this between sobs

>You notice Fluttershy tearing up as well

>If Applejack's bold enough to swear this in front of her friends, it must be a genuine apology

>You can believe her

"Oh c'mere you two."

>You wrap your left arm around Applejack's neck as Fluttershy hovers close to your other side, careful not to touch your injured arm

>The three of you embrace and release each other after a few seconds

"Applejack, you don't know how happy you've made me. Now I can be with Pinkie without Celestia having to punish me!"

>Pinkie's eyes light up and she jumps on you, hugging you tightly

>It hurts like hell, but fuck it. You can stand this for your special somep0ny
