Chapter 6: Complications

@Dormii: Perhaps if the Prophets believed that there would be no war... Perhaps for once there could be peace...

=to Senox=
Perhaps.

=i look in an alley and see Xazhi. i rush over to him and sit him up=
C'mon, asshole, don't be dead.

=He tries to breathe, but has a hard time. He sings to himself under his breath, unaware of Dormii's presence=

Breathe... Breathe in the air... Dont be afraid... to care...

=to Senox=
Help me carry him back to the hospital.

=i lift him up and Senox puts Xazhi over his shoulder=
...or that.

@Dormii: You humans enjoy food, I see. Do we go back to the Hospital?

=He bleeds from his multiple gunshot wounds all over the Sangheilli. With each step, he feels immense pain=

I sit at the computer. Looking up the name in the Database. I get something. I write down the address and get up off the chair, and walk out.

=seens senox carrrying xazhi=

yes we need to get back there asap

Be as careful with him as you can, he's bleeding a lot.

=He hears Zeru's voice amid the silence. He mutters weakly=

Where were you, you incompetent bastard?

I jump into a Warthog, and start it up. The engine roaring. I start to drive.

=I get Xazhi off my shoulder and start to carry him properly, to help with his bleeding.=

@Dormii: He is losing alot of blood. We need to get there fast.

Let's go, c'mon.

=we all pick up our pace, jogging to the hospital=

=He is struck again in the chest from a bullet. He falls to the ground and grabs the wound, screaming=

AH, FUCK!

=He tries to keep himself off the ground, but can only stand as high as on his hands and knees. He continues bleeding=

Are you kidding me...

=to Senox=
Senox, pick him up and run, full sprint to the hospital. We'll be right behind you, you can go faster.

=He clutches the new wound, his hand covered in blood=

GODS WHAT THE FUCK!

damm it bull we'll rush him to the hospital

@sen sen go kill that dam sniper

=picks up xazhi and runs to the hopsital weaving in and out of cover=

I drive through the streets, not trying to hit anything. I get to the outskirts of the city, and look at the GPS correctly. Different city, about......15 miles. I start to drive off to the next city.

=The Doctor Wakes up in a jolt, crying out in shock=

the fuck........where am I

=The Doctor looks around frantically, ripping out the I.V. and standing up, albeit too fast. He becomes lightheaded and falls into the door, falling through it. pieces of the door fall into the hallway. After a moment he gets up and looks around Trying to remember what happened. Not remembering he does the next logical thing. He looks for his belongings.=

=He tries breathing frantically=

Damn it...

im not gonna make this...

(Memories of Ash run through him)
(Their first meeting on the Thor)
(Him carrying her to his Longsword)
(Their first time speaking)
(Their first kiss)
(The time they had spent)
(His proposal)
(Her accepting)
(How happy they both had felt)
(He thought of only the good times)
(Still frozen on the bed. Eyes glazed)

=The woman takes 3 more shots at Xazhi, one hitting him in the leg, the other two in his arm, before dashing acorss the rooftops=

Senox! Up there!

=i point at the man running. i pull out a Magnum and try to shoot him. i shot hits him in his leg and he stumbles, but keeps running=

sen roofs now kill him

=arrives at the hospital=

someone prep the E.R now he needs to be operated on asap

=The woman takes a bullet in the leg, and nearly falls off the building. she takes a few random shots at Xazhi, the two Spartans, and the Elite=

=i adjust my aim and fire into his other leg=
C'MON ASSHOLE! I'M RIGHT HERE!

=I clamber up to the building where the sniper is, then charge at him. Halfway through I remeber I deactivated my shields.=

NO!

=The woman falls over. She spins around and lands on her back below the Elite. She takes a shot and strikes him in the stomach=

=I stop. The pain. It hurts. So much. I land on my knees, and then just topple over...=

I make it to the next city. I get stopped at a roadblock. I show my papers. I'm allowed to go through.

=i see Senox fall=

Are you kidding me??

=i climb up the building, using ledges and window sills as hand and foot holds. i reach the top and run over to the shooter, kicking the gun away=

You, are coming with me.

=She sees the Spartan approach. She tries to stagger up, but is slowed by her wounded leg. She attempts to run to the next rooftop=

=i grab her and pull her back down=
No, more running. Face your punishment.

=She uses her other arm to pull the sleve of her hoodie over her forearm as she struggles against the Spartan=

Woman: No! He musnt see me!

Too bad!

=i pin her arms and legs down=

STOP FIGHTING!

=She looks into the Spartans eyes, fear filling her own, anticipating the worst. She closes her eyes tightly and looks away=

=i get up and flip her over, putting her arms behind her back and lifting her up by them=
C'mon. We're going for a walk.

=i call over my shoulder=
Senox! You okay?

Woman- No! He musnt know who i am!

=The doctors operate on Xazhi. They remove the bullets and stitch the wounds. He lies there, still in pain, but his strength slowly returning=

Like I said. Too bad.

=i walk her over to Senox=

Senox, you okay?

@Dormii: *Cough* I'm perfectly fine... *Cough*

(Reznov)

I hear some shooting outside. I grab my AR with ACOG attachment and tell my squad to come. I run outside, and scan the roof. I run up fire escape. And see a wounded elite on the ground.

=he assist the doctors=

u'll be fine xazhi so hang in there

=He chuckles slightly=

Im not sure im entirely okay with -you- operating on me...

=He smiles=

=to Senox=
No, you're not. You need help.

=to the woman=
You are going to come with us and answer questions.

=The Doctor dresses himself in his original clothing and stumbles out into the hall. taking the stairs to the lobby instead of the elevator, he realizes he is the tallest person there. =
shit.....I'd rather not draw attention to myself....

=laughs=

trust me i know what i'm doing i did a heart transplant while nearly dying

(His eyes begin to flash color)
(Through the cycle)
(He begins to lose himself)
(The darkness taking its grasp)
(The cold joining it)

@Dormii: No I'm fi-...

=My vision goes white and I black out.=

=He laughs again=

Okay, ill hold you to that. But if i wake up with a bird in my chest, im going to be seriously pissed.

=He chuckles=
