Dragon Down[[Open]]

[Date Masamune™]

Shit... my everything hurt. So damn much. I couldn't even get up. Amakusa had done a number on me, and as I laid there like a pathetic freshman unlucky enough to cross paths with Ark or Vetis, Valo was being kidnapped by Amakusa. I pounded my right fist on the ground out of frustration. Very lightly albeit, because the pain was too much for me to actually slam my hand. Still... that was a good sign... the pain meant no nervous damage. I could still feel. I tried to stand, but my legs wouldn't hold. My left shoulder was in far too much pain for me to crawl well... but I had no other choice. I contorted and pushed my body as I used my right arm to drag myself against the ground. Pain shot down my spine and the rest of my body as I moved.

"GRAHHHHH!!!"

Screaming did me no good. No one was around to hear me or help me not when I was this far out of Dragon Territory. Heh... at least that meant I could scream in pain without being ashamed of myself. The pavement pressed against my shirt as I crawled, eventually ripping it and rubbing against my chest. Felt like sandpaper as it slowly began tearing through my skin. If it wasn't for my gauntlets, my arms would be in the same sorry state. My jeans were the next to go, with holes ripping into the knees and thighs. Heh... Is it sad to say that this isn't the worst pain I've ever felt? I spat out some blood from my mouth, it all mixed in with the blood that dragged behind my body as I crossed it. Slowly but steadily... I finally made it to the edges of the Dragon's territory, after a few hours that felt almost like eternity...

While alarms weren't shouting, Shugo dragging his broken body certainly created quite a stir at the border wall. Scouts left at a dead sprint to bring word of the injured Dragon. One of the first people one of the runners chanced upon was Arianna.

Arianna, who wasn't a Dragon, herself, but attached to the gang through her younger sister that served as Mathew's Apprentice, Field Marshal, and...oh, yes. Interim Voice of the Storm Dragon. She was also, at the very least, known for her help in the aftermath of the battle with Barker. So the Scout knew she was reliable, at least.

So she whisked out through the gate, accompanied by five Dragons.

"Hey, wait now! Stop dragging yourself, sir!" The blonde didn't know his name; so addressing him by sir seemed to be good enough; she would address plenty of male patients that way. As soon as she got near enough she would crouch and put her hands gently on his shoulders to stop his forward momentum if he hadn't listened.

"Wait... I think you're going in the opposite... direction..."

My voice was barely audible even to myself as the scouts ran back. I sighed a bit. I figured the Dragons were on high alert especially after the attack of the giants. They probably went back to get back up... I hope. Or maybe this was their way of letting me know I was fired? None the less. I continued to pull myself forward until I finally heard of word that looked like help. Sir? Do I look that old? I came to a stop as the girl and her help approached me.

"W-what... this? Oh no it's nothing. Just my uh morning workout."

I joked. In a situation like this it was probably good to keep a sense of humor right? I gave a small chuckle. Bad move. Turns out laughing hurts my... well my everything really. I spat up a bit more blood on the ground. Yup. That definitely wasn't good.

[Arianna Barrial]

Arianna, despite her very concerned expression, gained a very dubious look as he joked and laughed. Her critical eyes had sized up his movements from when she had approached and she noted he hadn't been using his legs.

"Hush, you." Apparently Shugo's self-depreciating humour wasn't going to fly with her. Especially when he began coughing blood. "I need you to lie very still and tell me what happened."

She glanced up to the Dragonlings.

"I need you to get me some kind of stretcher as well as something to serve as a back brace. A neck brace would be lovely, and any emergency medical kits you have should be waiting for when we carry this young man in."

"I.. uhhh... well I got in a fight with someone I couldn't handle. I'm pretty sure he broke my left shoulder and at least two ribs. That was right before he smashed my back over his knee. Good news is I can feel the pain in my legs and I almost stood up before... right before I fell back over."

Yeah... not very Dragonly of me now was it? Ahh shit... Talking and finally not focusing on moving reminded me of just how much pain I was in. I mean GOD DAMN. My body started to curl up a bit from the pain. But as much as I was in pain... there was one thing that was even worse... Jacket was going to kill me when she found out what happened. Not only did I instigate a fight, but I also got my ass handed to me like this.

"Shugo Yuy by the way. A-B positive. But uhh.. If someone could just push my bones back in place my body should take care of the rest... As long as I sleep... my body's got an accelerated healing factor... The more important thing is... You need to get someone over to the Manor... the guy... who did this. He's here... for Valo. He's going to take him to Strike... forcefully."

I started to cough up a bit more blood. Maybe I was talking too much... but can you blame me? This is the only human interaction I've since I woke up.

[Arianna Barrial]

The thing with fights was...people were bound to be knocked over the head a couple times. Concussions were nasty things and by the way he was acting, she wasn't sure if he had one or not...generally they made people incoherent and impossibly sleepy as their brain swelled from the force. And mention of his back injury had the blonde on higher alert than she just had been.

"Shugo, I'm Arianna Barrial. I need you to lie still so you don't further aggravate your injuries. I'll relay what you said about the Manor and Valo. But, while your body works, you're going to be under my care in the Hospital your...group has." She twisted and relayed the orders to one of the Scouts that had come with her.

While Arianna wasn't a Dragon, the crisp words galvanized the man into action and he was off for a shot to the wall.

Arianna turned back and pursed her lips before slowly beginning to pass her hands over his ribcage...her touch deft but exceedingly gentle. She could tell his shoulder was broken from the awkward angle and didn't want to risk furthering the injury to his back. The others would be along soon with what she requested. She didn't have her surgical equipment, nor was this the most ideal place to actually align his bones once again, especially if any of them had fragmented with the breaks...

"We'll see what we can do for the pain before we set you up for transport, Shugo. Can you tell me the name of this man?" She was calm while she worked, despite the adrenaline pumping through her body. She was used to working under pressure.

"Don't worry about... pain... Been much through... worse... I did... Fought... it was..."

Shit not good. I was losing my ability to keep a conversation. Well as much of an ability as I had. My vision started to blur. This was not good. The sound of an engine could be heard driving close. One of the jeeps from the Manor approached and two people would step out, a short green haired girl with a medical bag and an androgynous looking black haired boy. Not that I could tell any of that.

"Wow... you look like shit Yuy."

That voice was Shinn... what was he doing here? The girl, Jacket, shot him a sharp look before walking over to my body. Heh... if she was here, everything would be fine. I slowly started to close my eyes and fell unconscious.

"Excuse me. I'm his Doctor. I'll take care of him.

One could tell from her tone that she was quite irritated. Probably mostly with Shugo. Shinn slowly walked over to his body and scanned him from head to toe with his eyes a couple times. Jacket would run her hand down his back gently feeling the dislocations in his spine.

"His Qi levels look normal. Looks like he didn't activate SEED, so his heart should be fine."
