Chapter 74 - Carnival Evacuation

"So what did I miss, nine hours is a long time?"

[Twilight, with disappointment]

"Well you missed a lot, are you able to get up and walk?"

[Crystal]

"I think so."

[Twilight]

"Follow me then."

[Crystal, getting up from her seat]

Heading into the other room with Crystal Twilight is surprised to see the team battered and torn. As the Nurse finishes bandaging up Obitiga's left eye, the Doctor is still standing over the body of Naraku. Doing his best to get the hole in his chest to heal over enough to administer more blood.

"Where's Isha and Miike?"

[Twilight, confused]

"Those two were already gone when I returned to the battlefield."

[Crystal]

"Where are their bodies?"

[Twilight]

"We couldn't get them out of the Magician's House."

[Crystal]

"We'll have to go to them later and see what we can do about giving them a proper burial and maybe sending word to their families."

[Twilight]

"That can work, I can see if I can get anyone left to help. Most of the attendees seemed to be fleeing the Carnival on our way here."

[Crystal]

"If we have to, we can get them ourselves on the way out."

[Twilight, to Crystal as they approach the doctor]

"How are they?"

[Twilight, to the Doctor]

Well the friend of yours with the eye missing will be fine. It seems being of the Ascended Race really saved him. One of their Bloodline skills activated, keeping him alive till he was able to get treatment. As for this one, I am almost done with patching him up. From there we'll transfer some blood and we have to hope his essence returns on its own. If not, then there's nothing else we can do.

"Thank you for trying your best either way. I know you don't have to be a part of this carnival."

[Twilight]

"Carnival or not, I'm a doctor. I took an oath when I became one not to just watch a life pass away If I can help it."

[Doctor]

"Is there any way we can help you save him?"

[Twilight, concerned]

"Not really unless one of you has a skill that can replenish essence."

[Doctor]

"If only Sirisa or Temti were here."

[Crystal]

"Sirisa? Temti"

[Doctor]

"Two Clerics, well they might be the class of Holy Mages by now, but very great healers either way."

[Twilight]

"Don't worry we have the supplies we need in the back room to heal him, how do you think we saved you."

[Doctor, with a smile]

"I'm done here Doctor, is there anything you need after I wash up."

[Nurse, finishing the last wrap over Obitigia]

"Yes, bring the rest of the blood from the back, we might need it all at this rate."

[Doctor, pointing at the back room]

"As for you two, please head back into the other room, I'll have the nurse roll that one, Obitiga was it, in with you for you to talk. "

[Doctor, wiping sweat from his face]

"Yes it was, and okay."

[Twilight]

"In the meantime please try and get some rest, we'll update you on this one's, Naraku, Status as it goes."

[Doctor]

Leaving the operating room and entering the patient room, Twilight gets back into bed. A few minutes later Obitiga is wheeled into the room, and his bed left next to that of Twilight. Crystal and him begin to discuss what happened after he blacked out in the Crystal Maze.

A few hours pass by, and the Doctor returns into the room.

"So we've got good news, it looks like I was able to fully patch up the hole in your friend Naraku. He will survive from it."

[Doctor]

"That's wonderful to hear"

[Crystal, excitedly]

"It's up to how much fight he has left, as I said his essence must return. We'll be wheeling him back into the room. With yall here. Talk if you would like it may help trigger his memory, waking up his essence on its own."

[Doctor, as the nurse rolls Naraku into the room]

"I wonder if they will be okay?"

[Crystal]

"They seem fine, we have to assume these doctors knew what they were doing."

[Twilight]

A few hours have passed and Obitiga has come too, catching up with Twilight and Crystal as they nervously waited on the still unconscious Naraku to wake back up.

"So all that was caused by one Weiso?"

[Twilight]

"Yeah, but it was because he was a Nightwalker like you Twilight, but of a different breed, we're not sure. We thought he was a Bear type and his brothers were Wolves but they turned into something much worse than we could ever imagine. After we lost Isha, and Weiso took my eye, Naraku lost his cool. The final blow I had pierced his chest and here we are."

[Obitiga, rubbing his hand over his eye patch]

"Are you going to be okay with that?"

[Crystal, pointing at the scar]

"I just have to be even if I could get it back there's no way it'd be the same. I've trained my eyes since I was a kid on Sanshu...At least I didn't lose both I guess."

[Obitiga, laughing]

"When we get back we can see if Sirisa or Temti can help. They've healed body parts before."

[Twilight]

"Then do you think we should head back once.."

[Obitiga, as alarms begin to go off]

"THIS IS A NOTICE OF EVACUATION!! THE PARK IS CLOSING, ALL PERSONNEL MUST LEAVE!! ALL PARK ATTENDANTS MUST LEAVE!! GATES WILL GO INTO FULL LOCK DOWN IN 30 MINUTES."

[Announcement]

"Doctor, what do we do?"

[Nurse]

"We'll have to take the patient with us! We can't just leave him here. Grab the mobile bed!"

[Doctor]

"We can't leave though."

[Crystal, urgently]

"Why not, your friend needs more time to rest."

[Doctor]

"We are here on a mission and it sounds like it's been confirmed."

[Twilight]

"Yeah, it does. Obitiga do you think you'll be able to move Naraku at least while he's still coming too?"

[Twilight]

"Maybe."

[Obitiga]

"Then let's go!"

[Twilight]
