Chapter 73 - The 9 Hour Anesthesia

Turning to witness Weiso in disgust, Naraku begins to be overcome with rage. Hearing the screams of Obitiga in pain, Weiso begins to laugh. Licking the blood dripping from his lips, he begins to squat closer to Obitiga.

"You see, being the oldest of my brothers means I'm supposed to protect them. Losing our mother and father as children meant no one was there for us. It was a lonely life just the three of us. But we were there for each other, loved and laughed with each other. To now have to walk this earth without them leaves me in so much pain."

[Weiso, following as Obitiga tries to crawl away]

Stepping on a piece of Obitiga clothing to stop him, Obitiga turns to see the dark cold look from Weiso as he finishes his speech.

"The pain, it's more than I can inflict on you. But at least I can try."

[Weiso, as his eyes are become shrouded in darkness and grins from ear to ear]

As Weiso leans in to pry another eye out of Obitiga, Naraku appears to his side. Wrapping his arms around his neck, Naraku attempts to flip Weis. Tucking his arm into the space available in Naraku hold, Weiso breaks free at the last minute, pushing Naraku back. Slowing down Weiso pushes back, he drops his shoulder down, charging at him. With Naraku wrapping his arms around his waist, Weiso begins to drive his elbow down into his back. Unmoving with several blows to the back, Naraku plants his feet firmly into the ground. He begins lifting Naraku as the blows continue. With one swift moment he completely leans back, slamming Weiso into the ground behind him.

Returning back to his feet, Weiso then rushes into Naraku to punch him. Stopping the impact and grabbing his fist Naraku, Pulls Weiso fist back, breaking it. Ignoring the pain, Weiso proceeds to attack with the other arm, driving his knee into Weiso's elbow . Naraku breaks it as well. With no other weapon to use, Weiso begins to try and push Naraku back with his feet, while chomping at the air in front of him. Naraku begins backing up in order to find an opening in Weiso movements.

Obitiga begins to come to his feet, with the blood from his eye slowly causing him to black out; he signals Naraku as best as he can. Naraku notices and understands. Obitiga begins gathering what is left of the essence he has for an attack. Reaching back into his Quiver he realizes he is out of arrows. As his blood begins to boil from the lack of essence left his instincts begin to kick in. The blood seeping out from his eye starts to turn black, his eye begins to turn hazy as he uses it to focus. He Picks up his crossbow, pulls the string back, and fires. Watching as the air slowly accumulates and begins to hurdle towards the two, Naraku quickly grabs a hold of Weiso. Holding his shoulder back, he uses his bow to pull Weiso's head back and open his mouth, lining it up with the blast. Also blinding himself to the direction of the blast. Passing through not just the head of Weiso but the chest of Naraku. The battle ends.

The magical border over the house begins to lift as Obitiga now passes out and is severely injured along with Naraku. And the bodies of Weiso & Isha now dead, the crowd begins to flee the facility not looking back.

A few seconds pass and a gray portal appears releasing two people, one a soaked Crystal, the other being the first Volunteer soaked as well, with less clothing. Not knowing what happened they look around the arena in dismay at the aftermath of the bloody battle. Running up to the bodies laying there they checked for any sign of life.

"Is there a pulse on him?"

[Crystal asking the Volunteer, checking Obitiga, as she checks on pulse of Naraku]

"Yes it seems that he's alive, though he's definitely on the brink of death and still continuing to bleed out."

[Volunteer 1]

"We should hurry and get them to the medical team."

[Volunteer]

[Crystal lifts Naraku onto her back.]

As the two run to the medical tent the front gates of the Carnival begins to open. People began to scream making their way out. Not sure what was going on they proceeded. It seems the crowd had left a direction the group had yet to be in. Arriving at the tent once again Crystal sees the women from before still standing and watching from an old abandoned building. Trying not to let her gaze deter her she enters the tent.

"What are you doing here? They've evacuated the Carnival, you two should be leaving."

[Doctor]

"We can't these two need urgent care."

[Volunteer 1]

"I also have another friend who should be under your care."

[Crystal]

"Wait, do you mean the patient that arrived earlier today? A young male, Nightwalker?"

[Nurse 1]

"Yes, him. Is he okay?"

[Crystal]

"He's actually in recovery right now. We can take these two and begin working on them while you go see him. It will take sometime though."

[Nurse 1]

"That's fine, and for you I didn't get your name.."

[Crystal, turning around to see the volunteer was gone]

Entering the room with a sleeping twilight Crystal begins to check on his vitals. Seeing from at least what the machine described that he was in a better condition than what was expected for him to be in. As she finishes looking through the records, Twilight begins to awaken.

"Crystal is that you?"

[Twilight coming to]

"What happened, where are we?"

[Twilight]

"We're in the medical tent. It seems you were attacked back in the Crystal Maze, it's been a few hours. How do you feel?"

[Crystal]

"How long was I out for then?"

[Twilight, as he begins sitting up]

"Well if my Lightsponder is right it's been almost 9 hours since you've been blacked out. "

[Crystal]
