Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens" Part 4

(Fatet)

=I wake up again, and open my eyes, well one of them. My right eye is swollen shut and I can feel blood trickling down from my forehead. I realize that I'm finding it hard to breathe, which is due to the top if the cock pit crushing my chest.=

I have to get out of here

=I struggle my way through a gap in the hull and survey my injuries.

Parts of my armour are torn, and where it is I have numerous burns, I have a shard of purple metal embedded into my shin, but I survived.

I look around at the crashsite and see my weapons are underneath what looked like a cannon.

I pick them up and strap them on my legs and reach for my beacon, when I activate it, it shatters in my hand. I don't know if it worked or not so I use the fallen trees and bits of the seraph to make a small perimeter.=

(Jason)
=we all strapped into the shuttle, me, Dormii, Molly, and a few other people that were now on leave to celebrate. We lifted off from the hangar, and headed down to the planet. It's strange though: despite the fact that I have had a massive amount, I never actually took the time, to take a good look at the shuttle we made. Well, now I was looking, and what I saw nearly made me chuckle: the workers on Haven, actually took, the image, if not the design of a UNSC Pelican, and used Forerunner materials and technology to make one of their own. Basically, a Forerunner Pelican. From what I could tell though, it still didn't have any type of slip-space capabilities=


(Silver Light)
=I continued to monitor Haven, when a signal appeared. It was a very brief, very weak signal, and it stopped almost the second it started. But, it was enough that I could get a general idea of where to look. I sent out a group of seven Sentinels, to survey the area=

(Fatet)

=Not long after my makeshift barrier was complete, had I begun to feel faint from blood loss. I staggered to my little shelter where was going to sleep if no one picked uo my signal, and collapsed.=

=the Sentinels that had been deployed reached the signals area. They still had no idea where the exact signal came from, but they continued to look. They had a good lead though: the smoke and wreckage looked was a good clue=

(Jason)
=we landed at Alpha Base, and most of the bases staff were still cheering. I may have waived, but that was all. I was saving my celebratory mood for when we got to Osea=

(Molly)
=I smiled, and waived too. People were everywhere, cheering, laughing, and one of them had started to hand out drinks=

=Delta slammed his fist down into his flashing console and shouted at the crew on the bridge of the Comet=

Damnit, i want the Trophaeum found, NOW!

Sir, we can't get a lock on it. Something is interfering with the signal!

Well then fix it!

=He looked to his console and brought up a map=

Xazhi said he was going to the Trophaeum. Get a lock on his signal and jump to slipspace. Bring the ship up to full combat status and take us out of Lockdown. Make sure the Hellfire is armed and ready to fire as soon as we exit. We're going to need all the help we can get.

Yes sir!

=One of the crewmen typed a few commands into his console. After a couple of seconds a blip appeared on Delta's map=

We've got it, Sir!

There! Jump now!

=The Azure Comet opened up a slipspace portal and jumped in. As it came out of Lockdown, the soldiers and crew were rushing to their battle stations. The Hellfire cannon was loaded and readied to fire. Delta stood in silence, wondering if they were going to make it through this fight=

(Dormii)
=i waved a bit. Not a lot. I wasn't a crowd person. Plus it just seemed so odd, what with all of my weapons on me. I imagined I looked like an ancient "Vampire hunter," with all these dangerous looking weapons=

I need to find a better place to put these things...

(Jason)
We'll get you a locker. For now, let's just get to the capital. My girlfriend is waiting for me.
=as we walked off, I had a nagging feeling that we were forgetting something=

(Argo)
=they left me in the fighter=
So I guess this means I'll just stay here?

(Jason)
=we reached a teleporter, and I set it for Osea=
Well, let's go.

=I stepped onto the platform, and waited for Molly and Dormii=

(Dormii)
=i got out of the transport and walked over to the platform=
No I mean on me. I look like an old "vampire hunter."

=the loose bits of my weapons, the free swinging parts, clinked and clanked against my armor and each other as I walked=

(Jason)
So, you've gone from being a Viking, to being Van Helsing?
=Molly got on the platform next to me, and it activated. We were sent to Osea within seconds=

(Dormii)
Well, Vikings always had big axes and hammers. Well, in the history books, anyway, and those just aren't my style.

(Jason)
=we stepped off the platform, and walked through the courtyard we ended up in=
Well, yeah. But you were part of the Viking program, right?

(Miranda)
=I arrived at the teleporter outside the Serenity. I got on the platform, and headed for Osea. One nauseating second later, and I was in a park, definitely in Osea. I commed Jason=
Jason, I'm in Osea. Where are you?

(Jason)
=We got out of the courtyard, and walked down the street. I saw Miranda, exit the park further down, and she commed me=
Well, if you look behind you, you'll see me, Dormii, and Molly.

(Miranda)
=I turned around, and when I saw them, I all but ran over=

[read and listen]
I was suspended in space. I was inside the Shield World. My whole body was aching in pain. I had been struck by lightning. I couldn't remember how I got here. I couldn't remember where I came from. I knew that the excitation caused by the lightning may have done something to me. I couldn't remember what I had been doing for the past (pause) for the past, I don't even know. I had memories of an impossibly old man, of a Viking of Spartan origin, of electronic pulse waves. I had memories of strange things that didn't make any sense. Names and words rushed through my mind rushed through my mind. Marathon Nike Sparta Leonidas Minos Minotaur Odyssey Pythos Thyloi Han Genghis Dormii Mali et Fortuna Somnium Romanus et Romania Transylvania Sylva Salve Senex Aeterna Lux Ferrum Ferrous Brevi Vita The Romans conquering a land of forests and cool climate, a man in bear hide fighting back a legion of men Warfare swords blades clashing hammers smashing gods smiting sides being taken Wyrd turning Mortuus Omega Mobius Alpha nucleic protein Beta structure pleated cells stratification stochastic nature of bundles of biological life forms behavior analysis Cibus Sinistra Mendex Goddess Ishtar Zeru Ishtar Priest of fertility Jason and the Argonauts the Golden fleece was not truly golden

"AH!" I screamed unknowingly.

The scream echoed through the hollow structure. I didn't notice. Too many metaphors were rushing through my head. I had no way of stopping it. My mind was my enemy. I was being tortured by events far beyond the possible capability of my experience. I could feel dozens of blades entering my body and being withdrawn, arrows piercing my flesh, hooks dragging me along a dirt road. I could feel my body being crucified by the Romans, they hated what I could do. I had bested them in combat, I was a singularity they did not want repeated. I had bashed in many of their men with my hammer. They overwhelmed me and sent me to the cross. I was one of many. Then I was fighting in a war I had no allegiance in. We escorted men and women to camps where horrible things were done. We didn't care, we were hiding ourselves from the eye of the real enemy. From the eye of the Corrupter. We worshipped Loki, god of magick and tricks. Cunning and coy. we blended in.

I was in a riot. we were in a riot. I don't know. I could see things. millions of things. All happening at once, yet at different times. I was in pain. My mind and my body were at their limits. I wasn't fully on the inside of the planet. I was in a room. between the outer and inner world. Between the facade and the actuality. I was in limbo. At least, that's how I felt. Suspended in air. nothing beneath my feet. nothing above my head. no pressure. I was in stasis, but not in stasis. I could see a Cryptum not far from me. I didn't know how I knew it was called a Cryptum. In Latin, Cryptum means and Underground passage, or grotto. Perhaps I was in a Cryptum. A Passage between time and space. perhaps that's what they meant. A grotto not in space, not in time, but between it, unaffected by either.

Was it a true Cryptum? No. I was seeing something placed in my mind. A memory that was not mine. Something foreign. Implanted. The Cryptum frightened me. Something terrible was in it. Something so terrible it had to be sealed away. But I wanted to open it. My curiosity was too great. I felt like Pandora, the Cryptum was the gifted curse from the gods. Opening would change things. Perhaps everything.

I was in a labyrinth. A maze of Forerunner proportions. A maze of knowledge and burdens. A maze within a maze. I couldn't move. Reality was not my friend today. I was in a chamber, something unprecedented. Something different.

(Fatet)

=I lie in my makeshift shelter, still unconscioius and bleeding quite heavily because the shard of metal lodged in my knee came out of the other side as I fell, causing another hole as it fell out, allowing the blood to flow freely.
I was in serious trouble if I wasn't found, or woke up soon.=

=The Sentinels descended down towards the smoke, and found the wreckage of a Tier 2 spacecraft, who's materials matched those of the Covenant ships that had been recently destroyed. They scanned the area, light forming into a line across the ground. They scanned for a few minutes, before they found a faint life sign: a critically wounded human male, with a piece of metal impaled in his knee. They managed to get him out of his makeshift shelter, but they could not yet pull out the metal shard, without causing him to bleed out. They sent a signal back to the monitor, showing their location and the physical status of the human=

(Silver Light)
=The Sentinels I sent out had found a human near the signal's location. He was seriously wounded, and in need of medical attention. I sent out an order to the nearest base to send a medical shuttle out to his location=


=Gamma Base, Southern Hemisphere of Haven, received an order from the monitor, Silver Light, to send out a medical shuttle to pick up a crash survivor. The base commander followed the order, and within ten minutes, a shuttle was prepped with a medical team, and sent out to pick up the survivor=

I cocked the shotgun in my now human hands (will be explained later). And sat down in the seat of the ship. "Nice to have you back you crazy bastard." Said my the now Lieutenant Colonel, Locklear. I nodded, sadly, I still could't fucking talk.

(Miranda)
=I reached Jason and hugged him tightly=
I think, you have something you need to tell me Jason.

(Molly)
=I looked away from the two of them, and started to walk slowly away=

(Jason)
=I grinned=
I love you. How's that?

(Miranda)
It's all I need to hear.
=I saw Dormii behind Jason, and I broke off the hug. Hey, I'm not all that good at showing affection in public=

Hey Dormii.

(Dormii)
=i nod to Miranda=
Hey Miranda. Question, which do I look like, a Viking, or a Vampire Hunter?

Dormii wrote:

Hey Miranda. Question, which do I look like, a Viking, or a Vampire Hunter?

(Miranda)
=I looked Dormii up and down=
Well, I don't know. I mean, I don't think there's anything wrong with a Viking Vampire Hunter. We could always make a movie?

(Jason)
=I rolled my eyes, and looked back at Molly, who was standing quietly away from the group=

(Dormii)
=i couldn't help but chuckle and put on my best movie voice=
Dormii Fortuni, Vampire Hunter. This time, it's bloody.

(Miranda)
=I laughed=
It's great to see you made it Dormii.

=I walked over, and hugged the guy. Hey, he was a friend=

(Molly)
=I turned around, and walked back towards them=
Okay, so can we get to the party? I mean, is there going to be one?

(Jason)
Yeah, over in the capital square. Let's go.


=meanwhile, in the capital square itself, people were already gathering. A platform was being made, food was being set up on tables, and even music started to play=

(Dormii)
=i gave her a small hug back, using only my left arm. I didn't want to kill her, what with my robotic arm not being able to feel anything=

Yea, mostly thanks to Molly. She managed to save my ass, and gave me an awesome ride on her fighter.

(Miranda)
Wait, what do you mean?
=I turned to look at Molly=

Molly, what is he talking about?

(Molly)
=I felt my face heat up again, and I started walking towards the center of the city=
Uh, I don't know.

(Jason)
=I reached out a hand, and grabbed Molly by the back of her shirt=
Well Miri, it turns out that Molly had convinced Silver Light to fabricate records for her to join the air-force, so that she could fly in a squad, and fight against the Covenant.

=I looked down at Molly=
And, truth be told, i couldn't be any more proud of her.

(Dormii)
She's good. Good enough to give me a run for my money.

(Molly)
=I felt my face flush up even more=

(Jason)
Yes well, why don't we get moving, eh? I hear music playing already?


=the medical shuttle flew for nearly 15 minutes, before it reached the crash site. It landed near the beacon the Sentinels had set up, and the staff exited the ship. They found the wounded Fatet on the ground, a piece of metal impaled in his knee=

*Medic*
Okay, let's get him back on the ship. We'll get the shard out back at base.
=the team agreed, and lifted him onto a stretcher. They got him onto the shuttle, and they lifted off, back for Gamma Base=

(Dormii)
=i shrug=
Why not.

=the list of names started repeating in my mind again. I mutter=
Anything to get this list out of my head...

(Jason)
Alright, let's go.
=we all walked towards the center of the city=

(Dormii)
Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio...what the fuck....I thought I got rid of these things....gods dammit...

=i walked with the others, staying quiet=

=tries comming for a ride to the other's location=

(Jason)
=we walked for maybe five minutes, the center of the city only being a few 'blocks' away. (I had no idea what a block was to a Forerunner, so for now, we just used human city blocks) The closer we got, the louder the music got, and I could hear people cheering, laughing......living. It may have cost us many lives, but these people, they got to live. They got to keep their home=


=The Capital Square was filled with people now. Everyone walked around, eating and drinking, singing songs of peace they knew from their old Colonies=

=Xazhi was sitting on the bridge of the Eirav Wing, still inside the Silver Hawk's hanger, thinking to himself when a comm arrived. He opened it=

Hello?

Xa--i!... De--a!..... Sl-p-ace -o y-ur co-rdi-a-es! ----- --e Tr---aeum ..----..-----.. at-ack! ................. E-tim--ed -im- ar-i-al ---s ---- tw-n-y -our h--rs! -re-are --ur-el-!

=The comm falls to complete static and cuts out=

Attack the Trophaeum? Damn. Alright then.

=Xazhi checks his gear and heads to the cargo hold of the Eirav Wing. He raises the entrance ramp so that it is closed completely, and makes sure his MCR-II is loaded=

[read and listen]

I was tired. So incredibly tired. But I was trapped. This place was not meant for someone of my biology. My body was exhausted. I haven't taken the medication in hours. My body was emitting electrostatic and electromagnetic pulse waves. The room, if it could be called that, vibrated and pulsed with it. Absorbing the energy I was releasing. I felt like my very life force was being drained. I screamed in pain as an electric arc pounced from my body to a nearby metallic object. It left a burn on my skin. I cried out in pain.

The Stasis field suspending my body in air shorted out from the pulse. I dropped fifteen feet onto a hard floor. I could feel my bones crying out in pain as they were stressed by the force. They didn't break. I found that odd. I should've at the very least fractured something. I hopped up. I felt invigorated. I chose a direction and ran. The room was large. I took a right. Then a left. I didn't feel tired now. I felt energized. Which was incredibly ironic. I kept running. taking deep breaths and long strides. I ran for a good ten minutes until I saw a platform that matched the schematics for a teleporter. The teleporter was activated as I drew near. I said the first thing that came to my mind. The first thing I thought of when thinking of a Shield World. Capital.

I felt the buzz of the teleporter. I found myself, without blinking, suddenly in a city. My eyes had to readjust to the light. I was stunned for but a moment. I looked around. I didn't know what I would do now. I was lost.

=had gotten a ride to osea and the transport lands and he gets off and after a couple minutes arrives in the town square seeing poeple celebrating=


now this is a party

(Dormii)
=i tried to join in with the festivities, but with me in my armor and still carrying my weapons on me, it was kinda hard. Jason, Miranda and Molly seemed to get into it easily, but I just couldn't find my place. Meanwhile the list of names kept getting louder and louder, despite all my attempts to block it. I heard a voice, a tiny voice in my mind=

"You won't keep me silent forever, Fortuni. I will have my revenge on them. I swore it. You swore it. I will come BACK!"

Who the hell are you??

"I am you, from before. I am who you were, and still are. I am Dormii Mali, and you will rejoin me..."

(Rain)

=I awaken=
=Still holding on to Talfie=
=I smile, moving away from her quietly=

=I pick up the things and head off to the Pelican=

=After the trip there I place the bags into the Pelican=
=I fetch some other needed supplies, some food. water. The essentials=

=I sit on the back of the Pelican and look about=

Some sort of festivity is going on. A celebration. I wasn't in the right state of mind for interactions with other people. I ran down a 'street'. This whole place was forerunner architecture. I didn't even know where to begin. I ran toward the sound of festivities and became immersed. People were setting up things. Having a good time. I blended in fairly easily. They all looked like refugees. I looked at myself.

I looked like a refugee. My clothes were torn. I was bleeding. I had scorch marks. But I was inside a planet. So who cared? Certainly not I. Walking around this Capital, with all that was going on. I found myself in the center of it all. People were singing, dancing, celebrating some unknown occurrence. I had no idea what was going on. Until I heard someone say something about a battle. I figured some sort of fight had happened on the surface. People were happy though, but that didn't bring a smile to my face. I did not remember who I was. I had no reason to celebrate.

I wandered through the crowds and eventually found a bench. I sat down, rested my feet, and watched.

(Jason)
=I didn't really dance. All I did was simply walk through the crowd, and joined my voice with the screams and shouts of victory. We beat the Covenant, the juggernaut that had burned hundreds of colonies, even the mighty Reach. We lost good people, and they would be remembered. David was there, on the raised dais. I was guessing that the other Council members were at their respective cities. When David saw me, he motioned for me to join him on the dais. I shook my head, mouthing no, but he glared, and made a firm motion. The message was clear: they wanted to see the hero. Well, one of the heroes anyway. Great=

(Dormii)
Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio...get out of my head!

"You cannot silence what is a part of yourself forever. You don't want to admit it, but we both need these men gone."

Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio....stop it...now...

"Or what? You can't beat me. I'm you, remember?"

Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio...Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio...what...the...fuck...Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio...gah...stop...

=i leaned against a wall for support, trying to stop these voices=

(Jason)
=I reluctantly climbed onto the dais, and stood next to David. There was a podium, and believe it or not, if I had to choose between facing every enemy in my life......Vigil, my old team, the new Vigil Spartans, the Flood, ONI and Garuda, and even the Covenant fleet.......I'd rather take them all, at once, instead of having to stand at that podium, in front of all those people. At least my enemies would let me die quick=

Greetings Osea! I can see you're all enjoying the festivities.
=a roaring cheer answered me=

Well, we deserve it. You, all deserve it. But first, I think a moment of silence is needed. We lost, a great many people, in the defense of our home. They may have died, but they died, knowing that their sacrifice would not be in vain. Their actions, have immortalized them, as heroes, heroes that gave up everything for the sake of their home, their families.
=I paused for a moment. I wasn't really accustomed to speeches. But, I think I was starting to get a talent for it=

Please, join me in saluting them, these heroes, who's sacrifice, will never be forgotten.
=and just like that, the whole square, the whole damn city, went silent, as people closed their eyes. Most said a silent prayer for the dead. Others saluted, to the ghosts of fallen comrades. I just stood there, my hand raised in a salute. It was, quite possibly, the most peaceful moment I have ever had=

(Dormii)
=i fell to the ground quietly. I put my hands to my helmet and squeezed my eyes shut, as if I could make the voice and the names go away by sheer will=

Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio...stop it! Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio...please...Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio...go away!

=i curled up into a ball and tried to simply escape the names and the voice by physical means. It felt wrong, it felt as though another person or being was taking control of me, was taking away my choice. It felt unnatural, and I had no way of stopping it=

(Molly)
=While Jason was giving his speech (God, he looked like he wanted it to end) I looked around to find Dormii. He wasn't with us, so I checked back in the direction we came in from. I had to brush past some people, and I was surprised when I found him, curled up on the floor, at the foot of a building. I ran over to him=
Oh my god, Dormii. Are you okay?

(Dormii)
=i could barely hear Molly over the names and the voice in my head=
Make it stop...please make it stop...

Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio

"I will get out again. Mark my words..."

(Molly)
Shit.
=I got up, looked over at Jason on the dais, and yelled=

Jason! Dormii needs help!!!!!!

(Jason)
=remember that peaceful moment I was having? Well, turns out that when your goddaughter screams that one of your friends needs help.......you get the idea. Within seconds of her yelling, I looked to where she was yelling from, and jumped off the dais, and ran to her. A few security guards also rushed to her. I got down near Dormii=
Dormii, what's wrong?

=he didn't respond=
Shit. I need a medical team right!

Silence. Silence everywhere. I looked up and people were just silent. So for me, it was easy to spot a small commotion happening not 76.3 metres away. How I knew the exact distance was unsettling. But I made my way over anyway, drawn by curiosity. I silently walked over, not disturbing them. A suit laid on the ground, curled in the fetal position a female was standing over him trying to offer comfort. I watched this bizarre interaction with a fascination only a Med-student could have.

(Fatet)

=I sit bolt upright before shouting in pain and falling back onto the bed.=

Ugh... My back!

Where am I? How'd I get here?
What happened?

= I wipe sweat off my face and lie there breathing heavily=

(Dormii)
=i effectively cowered, trying to hide from the names, from the voice, as they well and truly scared me. I had lost my mind before, but not like this. I couldn't understand this, couldn't fight it=

Make it stop....just go away...what did I do to you?

--Gamma Base--
=The medical shuttle had already arrived, and the medical team moved Fatet to the medical area. He had a nurse monitoring him, and when he sat bolt upright with a shout of pain, she was understandably frightened=

*Nurse*
=she grabbed a glass of water, and walked over to Fatet, offering it to him=


--Osea Capital--

(Jason)
=the medical team I had sent for arrived soon after being called. We still had no idea what was wrong with Dormii, but the medics advised we sedate him, to make transporting him to the hospital easier (and safer) for them. Hey, he was a Spartan, and clearly in pain, and if he was going crazy because of that pain........well, who'd want to be close to that?=

(Dormii)
=i curled up smaller, the loose pieces of my weapons jingling and scraping against the ground=

Shut up...shut up....shutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutup!

"I'm not going away. Not until you agree to do what needs to be done."

(Jason)
=I helped load Dormii up on the stretcher, and the med team wheeled him away to the.....I guess it could be called an ambulance, if an ambulance could hover and fly, and was a mix of human and Forerunner.....yeah, you see where I'm going with this. As I helped get Dormii onto the flying ambulance, I looked around briefly, and I saw, to my shock, the kid from the surface, the one from MED-7. He was standing in the crowd, and he looked like he was just crapped from a dog with diarrhea. Still, my friend was in pain, and I intended to make sure he'd be okay. I did however comm some of the security guards, and told them to keep an eye on the little intruder=

(Dormii)
I will not Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio help you Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio get out of Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronvioliomy head!

"But you will. I am you, and not you, and since I am not you, you will help me."

Nononononononono! Albert Kuchinov Joli Reprioski Harper Guik Frederick Supinsar Jak Ikiskolinoi Nikolaus Oehlberg Revnik Ronviolio

NONONONONONONONO

(Fatet)

= I take the water with a mumbled thanks and gulp it down.

I inhale deeply and suddenly clench my chest as pain wrecks through it=

Shit!!! I think im dieing!

= I start hyper-ventilating as the pain increases, until the point I am unaware of anything but the pain=
