**SLAM**
The door to the medical bay flew open as Gene raced through with Ayden in his arms. Only a few steps behind him was Tah'ler who seemed much cleaner than his superior.
As Gene set Aydens limp body on the exam table the nurses around began working, but were quickly stopped before they were able to get his armor off to find the source of blood, which had been flowing slowly but steadily.
-"hold it that won't be necessary, you can all go on lunch early today; I'll take care of this."
The nurses gave a strange look but left quickly non the less. As the door shut behind them leaving Tah'ler and Gene alone to take care of Ayden.
"Why did you send them away?! He is dying!"
-"No he isn't… old man i know what I'm doing here"
"Do you though!?"
-"His heart rate is steady, breathing is normal, pupils are reacting fine, no blood out of his ears or eyes, the blood around his neck and mouth is dried and the wounds healed, his arm and leg bones took a beating but the breaks will heal soon, the only thing that worries me is his chest wound is bleeding…"
"How is he healing already!? Tell me what's going on!"
Gene while usually in control of his enhanced strength lost it for only a few seconds, grabbing Tah'ler by his straps and lifting him into the air.
While Gene had considerably more muscle mass and was quite a bit taller than the Dr, he soon found him self pinned to the ground as Tah'ler showed why he was considered one of the best in the guild.
As his feet left the floor Tah'ler kicked hard into Gene thigh and threw four blindingly fast jabs to Gene's arm. As the giants leg gave out and grip weakened Tah'ler twisted once his feet hit the ground, yanking Gene even more off balance.
Now free of his control and him being off balance allowed the Dr to push Gene to the ground as her twisted an arm behind his back; one arm pressing his face to the floor, one arm restraining Genes arm behind his back, one knee digging into his hip while the foot dug into the back of the knee and his last knee resting on genes free arms shoulder… since he wasn't trying to kill this man.
"When?! how!? What?"
-"Do you know who i am sir? I'm am a Doctor named Tah'ler, not a tailer for doctors! But let's not forget that my fangs aren't dull,… sir!"
When Tah'ler finished talking he stood up and turned his back to Gene, his glowing golden eyes only just beginning to dim from his burst of aggression. His calm demeanor once again once again in place.

"So what must we do in order to make a full contract, Say some long incantation and bind you to me?"
~"Who told you that crap? We aren't enchanters using words of power, we are lycan! All it takes is a bit of blood and a bond, which can be done with the pack link. What bullshit have they been teaching people of your time?!
It's fine but let me explain how this works… *sigh* when you come to you must begin the linking process, then if/when you complete that i can start the contract bond… Too bad we don't have a shaman to help, it would of been much easier had one been here to bridge the gap."
"Shaman, Why do we need one of them?"
~"They are bridges from this realm to the spirit world, the ability to communicate directly with the gods, and usually they can use light energy to heal people faster than our bodies healing factor can.
Their main downfall is that the stage 1 body refinement is usually their limit. But they are able to borrow the power from any spirit that they know of willing or by force,… but there is usually a cost to do so."
"What about a spirit master, do you know what that is?!"
~"they are said to be divine warriors who have heard a voice of creation, with that a great gift is bestowed upon them.
They are similar to shamans only they can't force a spirit to bend to their will. Though they can use their contract spirits much better than them, as well as their upper limits are removed from what i know but that is all speculation because I've never seen one in person.
I do wonder how you know about them? Their haven't been a spirit master in the Blackwater clan since long before even the haze beast…"
"That's what i am i guess, that's how i know the term but i don't know what gift you're talking about. Defiantly don't know anything about the voice of creation."
Once again Koko was shocked but could not dwell on this new development because he could feel the last of his energy being used up and his soul beginning to disintegrate. With little time left he figured the conversation could wait for after the contract is complete,… or he returns from the land of spirits.
"Well then you should be able to use that to form a contract, you'll have about 5 mins when you wake up to form a bond. So enough stalling and let's get to it! See you on the other side!"

Ayden lay striped of his armor on the table as Tah'ler and Gene stood over him looking at the wound on his chests. The blood had finally stopped flowing and could visible be seen healing, The fact that it took so long to start healing was worrying to Tah'ler.
*"what!!! How is it healing so quickly?" Never seeing someone heal so quickly left astonishment on Gene's face.
~"It's an ability given to his families bloodline long ago, it's nothing to worry or be shocked about. I mean except for the fact that it took so long to kick in that is."
The 10 mins since they were able to grab Ayden out of the Holo-deck this was the best Tah'ler could come up with to explain away the healing, which was leaps and bounds past what most gods gave out to anyone that wasn't one of their most faithful believers.
*"hmmm,… ok. 'so is the time of gods and demon' truly."
~" 'may the creators have mercy upon our souls' "
When the wound on Aydens chest finished healing a raged breath could be heard being expelled, accompanied by a strange dense black smoke.
**GASP**
Ayden shot up like he was breaking the surface of the ocean waters trying to take a breath after being under for so long.
*"Are you ok?!"
