Sky Force had recovered from his accident after three days. Once he had felt healed he got back into his usual routine of practicing all day every day. This had left him with little time for socialization. He didn't mind however. It was what he was used to. Most nights he would come home from his practice, eat dinner with Flitter and Cloudchaser, and go to bed. The next day he would wake up and repeat the cycle. Now after four days of practice he was ready for another attempt at the impossible. He was ready to try to break the sound barrier.
Sky had flow a cloud up a couple thousand feet above Ponyville and was no standing on the edge of it looking down. He prepared himself mentally for this attempt. He had already stretched all of his muscles. He didn't want a repeat of his accident. The air was a little thin at this altitude so he didn't want to waste too much time up here. He took one more deep breath. This time. It's happening this time.
Sky leaped of of the cloud and start heading towards the ground. He flapped his wings as hard as he could as he accelerated. Soon he was going faster than any normal pegasus but he still wasn't finished. The ground was coming up quickly but he wasn't done there. He started to feel the compression of the air as he started to stress the barrier. The air was assaulting his eyes and making them water but he looked through the tears. He felt the air start to squeeze him as a mach cone formed around him. He was close and he knew it. He was so close to breaking the barrier but the ground was starting to get close to him. Just a little further. He passed the point where any sane pegasus would have pulled up. He wanted to break the barrier but the ground was too close. He had to pull out of the dive and he had to do it now. Sky knew that he pushed the limits of his abilities. If he was going to pull out of this one it was going to be by inches. Shit! He pulled up as hard as he could but his momentum continued to bring him towards the ground. There was vapor coming off of his wings from the g-forces he was pulling as he tried to level himself out. His muscles protested at the strain he was putting them through but he was slowly starting to level out. Alright. I think I might make it.
*Pop pop*
Sky screamed in pain as both of his wings dislocated. Having no control over his flight he tumbled towards the ground. He impacted the ground at a higher speed than most Pegasi even dared to fly. The force of the impact shattered his body and left him lying in a crater broken and bloodied. He saw a light purple pegasus galloping towards him. He lifted a hoof towards them.
"F-Flitter? Cloud....." Was all he managed to weakly say before his world went dark.

Veanna was trotting along Ponyville when she saw a familiar blue shape. It was Sky. She bet he was still mad at her. She watched as he fell towards the earth, she thought he would make it out of the decline but something happened. He then crashed into the ground. "SKY!!!" She screamed and ran to Sky's crash site.
"SKY! Are you ok? oh please be ok! Sky!!?"

Cloudchaser came screaming out of the sky after....Sky. She landed into a gallop as she came up to his body, not sure if he was alive or dead.
"Oh no oh no..." CC mumbled as she had a slight panic attack. "G-go get somepony! Anypony!" She yelled at the other mare that approached Sky's corpse. "Go quickly!"

Vea was in shock, even though they ended on a bad note last time she couldn't help but not help him. She analyzed Sky's situation. She could not transport him. Not in this condition.
"Right!" Veanna said and flew off to the hospital.
"Help! I need a doctor! A friend of mine has crashed and he is unconscious!" Veanna shouted, a Unicorn doctor ran to Veanna. "Get on! I can fly faster than you can run!"
Veanna and the doctor arrived a few moments later.

"Good!" CC yelled as she saw Veanna return with a doctor.
"Were were flying and, he just nose dived, right into the ground. Please, help him!" She began to tear up as she pleaded with the Doctor.
He nodded, "It's alright. He'll be fine we just have to act now." He said as he levitated Sky's body up, leaving it in stasis as to not inflict more damage. "Come now!" He said as he galloped off to the hospital. Cloudchaser following him.

Veanna followed along, flying instead of running. "Oh....I hope he is ok..." She said to no one.
"Miss?" She said to the mare. "Just wondering but....how do you know Sky?"

"Oh, I'm Cloudchaser." CC said plainly, she was still shocked from the whole incident. "Sky was staying at my house for a while. He had some... things happen. I offered to help him.

"Oh....right..." Veanna said. To her relief, they were getting close to the hospital.
The doctor ran through the door and went straight to the emergency room. A nurse stopped the two mares and said. "Sky will be fine. Let me direct you both to the waiting area."

CC groaned as they were stopped. "I need to see him! I have to know he's okay!" She argued with the nurse for awhile, until she sucked it up and went into the waiting room. She sat down, not sure what to do.
"How'd you know Sky's name?" CC asked looking up to Veanna. She found it weird that she new Sky, he never said anything about her.

"Lets just say......I'm the reason.....He met you." Veanna said sadly. What she just announced probably would get awkward and probably yelled at. She looked away from Cloud Chaser.

"It was you..." CC trailed off, not sure of what to say. She was about to yell at the mare, right before that, the nurse came back into the room. She said Sky was stable and they could go in to see him. CC nodded and got up, and stared daggers at Veanna, before leaving with the nurse.

Veanna felt those daggers in her heart. She winced in 'pain' but slowly followed CC and the nurse to see Sky. She kept quiet, trying not to cause more strife and anger.
Should she even go in? Maybe not.... While she was debating whether she should follow or not her body made the decision for her. Her body follow the grey mare and the nurse in.

CC followed the Nurse to a lone room at the end of the hall. Sitting there in the only bed, was Sky. Cloudchaser almost began to cry as she walked up to him. She looked towards the Nurse.
"He's stable, he's just in a coma. We don't know when he'll come out. But other than that, he should recover. All you can do is wait."
"Thank you." CC said. The nurse smiled and began to leave the room. CC stood next to the bed, holding Sky's hoof as tears slid down her face.
"Oh Sky, why...?"

Veanna entered the room but stayed to the back near the entrance. She was relieved that he would make a recovery. "thats great..." She said to herself. She noticed that Cloudchaser started to cry.
She resisted to comfort her but she could not take it anymore. Veanna slowly walked over and put a hoof around the grey mare. "I hope he turns out ok..."

Flitter had been waiting on Cloud Chaser and Sky Force to return back home. Sky Force had gone out to do his normal routine. Cloud Chaser left after him shortly after. This left her in charge of keeping tabs on the house while they were away, it was also her turn to make dinner as well. She was really looking forward to how Sky would like her cooking. Cloud Chaser always really enjoyed it. She was confident Sky would as well.
A few hours had passed and it was getting rather late and Flitter began to get a little worried. Sky Force self practices always lasted for a long time, at least the last 3 previous days had been that way. Normally she spent this time with Cloud, enjoying each others company. With her now waiting here alone, the time seemed to go by much slower than it normally would.
"I.. I hope they get home soon. The food will get cold at this rate." Flitter stated. She opted to walk outside to see if she could spot them coming. Nothing, she saw no pony coming anytime soon. She walked toward a crowd of ponies that seemed to be chatting about something. As she got closer she could make out a few of them talking about some accident a Pegasus had. .. That .. can't be Sky... he just got better.. wh... why would he try that again?
"Um.. Excuse me?" Flitter interrupted the group of ponies who were talking. ".. What did the Pegasus look like?" She asked with concern in her voice. The group had described the pony as one of a dark blue color with a light blue mane. There was no doubt who that was. "Sky!" Flitter shouted out quickly running away from the group leaving the group confused.
Flitter took off toward the Hospital. Cloud Chaser had to be distraught. She had to be there to make sure Sky and Cloud were ok. Both were important to her... and she was not there!
Flitter ran all the way to the hospital, sprinting the entire time. As soon as she entered, she immediately went to the receptionist. "Where is Sky!" She nearly screamed at her. The run over here left her gasping for air as well. The receptionist said for Flitter to calm down and had given the location of where he was staying. "Thank you miss." Flitter had to follow another nurse to the room he was staying in. The nurse did brief her some on Sky's condition. This only made Flitter feel worse, though she was relieved that he was alive...
After a few minutes the nurse led to the room sky was in. Once there she saw a greenish yellow Pegasus at the entrance followed by Cloud Chaser standing near Sky's bed. Ignoring Veanna for now, she rushed over to beside Cloud Chaser. "Cloud... I.. I got here as soon as found out." She stated.. "Wh..what happened?... Is he going to be ok. I heard.. from the nurse.. that he is in a coma?!" Flitter stated worriedly. "How did this happen?" She stated again.
