CHAPTER 2
Comatose
.
.
.
"I...thank you."
Those words finally come up from his mouth. It feels strange, coming from an enemy to say this word. He could see the young man smiles happily to him.
"You're welcome."
They smiles to each other. Cold, steel grey eyes meet with large, brave baby blue eyes. For Troy, it feels like de javu. His smile, pure and sincere, looks exactly like the Angel he sees back there. Even his eyes and face shape reminds him so much like a beautiful doll.
Or perhaps, Lazlo is the Angel himself. He is coming to rescue him from death, to be his saviour. Yes, that could possible.
"Then, let me..."
Before Troy finishes his word, he closes his eyes once more.
He is fainted again.
Lazlo looks startled. What's happening here? A moment ago, Troy is fine, right? They even talk, joke, and finally able to introduce themselves properly toward each other. But what happened now...
"Troy...?" Lazlo calls for him, shaking his shoulder to wake him up. "Hey, what happened?"
Wait, something is not right. Those eyes scan through the dark-clad body to find if he has any injury. Until he catches it up.
Is that...a blood?! It's a blood, starts visible on his left stomach! Then, the boy starts to freak out when he sees the red substance suddenly appears out of nowhere.
"Lazlo, what's wrong?"
Finally, Lino and the others arrived.
"He's...he's injured! Why he doesn't speak any words anything if he's in pain?!"
"Lazlo, calm down." said Lino, holding both his son's shoulder "What happened?"
"We...we were just talking toward each other, waiting for you. Everything went normal until he got collapse and-" his voice suddenly has been halted by a loud voice from afar.
"What's that?" asked Lino.
The light brown-haired one sees it. It comes from Fort El-Eal. He widens his eyes and snaps from his panic mode. "It's...coming this way...!"
.
.
.
BOOM!
A loud voice comes from Fort El-Eal direction. The building is starts to collapse as soon as explosive comes toward the enormous ship of Dauntless. Almost everyone gathers to see what is happening outside this ship. Before everything goes horror when one of them starts to shout like a death announcement is about to be read for them.
"The explosive is going to come near us!"
"It's going to kill us all!"
Their reactions of course, fear and panic, afraid of not being able to survives. Everyone starts to prays, and it could be heard from anywhere.
Seeing this makes Lazlo's kind heart boils. With fast step, he bravely runs toward the edge of the ship, the one that directs to Fort El-Eal. He's leaving behind the injured Kooluk Commander side for a while. Yes...just for a while...
He, the one being the leader of this group of people, starts to raise his left hand highly. He hopes his action could give the right decision. But seeing the raised hand starts to glow, the King of Obel and his Vingerhut best friend, two of many people that realize the young man's dangerous decision, starts to panic like the others.
"No, Lazlo, stop!" shouted Snowe.
"Lazlo!" shouted Lino.
Alas, they are too late to stop the one that holds great dear in their hearts. That brave young man, inside his heart, he is only one who could do this. He must definitely do this. He had to ensure everyone returns in one piece, in safety.
And him...he must also save him. The man, who once he called a 'rival', but in reality, that man is just merely a tool of another man's plot. And this explosive, is the result of all event that already happened. The result, of a rune hunting, and this war. He must stop this, once and for all.
"My true Rune of Punishment!"
A loud, screaming voice that comes from the rune echoes in the already gloomy sky. It starts to shine red and black glowing vertically reaching the sky. Its light even reaches the gigantic south base of Kooluk, with explosives already surrounding the whole building.
Then, the earth starts to shake uncontrollably. The ocean is about to roar like a lion. Waves and wind moves wildly toward Dauntless ship, that holds many brave hearts of a warrior.
Until, the lights start to fade. And so is the light inside Lazlo's eyes.
"Lazlo!" shouts everyone that holds dearly inside the hero's heart.
They quickly move toward him, the one that loses consciousness.
.
.
.
"Hurry, take them to infirmary!"
"Right!"
"I'll carry Lazlo, you take care that Kooluk Commander!"
"Yes Sir!"
Everyone starts to help each other.
Lino quickly scopes Lazlo's light body in his both arms, with Snowe and Chiepoo besides him.
Tal, along with Hervey, put Troy's arms to their shoulders to support his tall body. Then, Tal realizes something's not right. Is that...a blood he sees?
"Hervey, we've got to hurry! He's bleeding!"
"What?" Hervey surprised hearing that. The brown-haired man quickly scans the man. Tal is right, on his left abdomen area, there is a stain of blood, mixed with dark colour from clothes he wears. There is also blood stain on the place where he lies. "Hey, this one is injured! We'd better hurry!"
Hearing this, Yu, with Sigurd and Keneth in front of to secure the crowd, quickly takes fast step on their shoes to usher them. They hurriedly go to infirmary room.
"Coming through, coming through!" said Sigurd to the bustling people in the deck.
"Move it, there's injured here!" said Keneth.
They go through deck, stepping down stairs because using lift may be inconvenient with the situation before they reach to 4th floor.
Yu quickly slams the door on his room. He realizes that Lino, Snowe, and Chiepoo already in there, with Lazlo lying on one of the bed.
"Hurry, lay him down there!" said the doctor.
"Alright." said Tal. He puts Troy on a bed beside Lazlo with Hervey's help.
"Someone get Gary here, quickly!"
"We'll get him." said Sigurd. He leaves the room in search for the man together with Keneth. They both go in separate ways to look for him.
"Now," he exhales, like his matter of life finally combine together to try his patience once more, "I'm going to examine these two while waiting for Gary. All of you may go."
The other figures that gathered, except Yu, understood and leave the patient in the hands of the doctor. Lino En Kuldes, the last that about to leave, suddenly stand still on his position. Then, he gives the doctor a pleading look.
"I beg of you. Please...save them."
"I'm always tried my best, my King."
The king is expecting him much in this urgent situation, like usual. He nods before closing the door. He takes another deep breath.
First, he looks at Troy, because he had this injury on him. He goes searching for his medical bag. Ah, like usual, it's one the table. He puts out medical equipment like bandage, scissors, and such. Then, he opens his commander uniform to take a look at his wound.
Yu widens his eyes. This man's left abdomen has a wound that shapes like a deep horizontal scratch. Luckily the wound is not too big. He quickly puts a bandage around it to stops the bleeding. He checks for his heartbeat with stethoscope.
He puts a stern face at first. Then, he smiles when he hears his heartbeat is normal. He is safe now, although he looks very pale.
Then, he quickly put a stethoscope on Lazlo to check his heartbeat. He worries that something might also happen to him because he is devastating that rune power of him. He also looks very pale.
Yu feels relieved. Goodness, their leader is still alive. He smiles happily.
His heartbeat is alright, although it's slower than normal person. But he can confirm that he is fine. He just need time to rest until he regains his consciousness back.
Not long, the door is open, and the villain look-alike man hurriedly enters the room.
"I heard from both Keneth and Sigurd there's an injured here!" he said with panic. "Where is he?"
The calm doctor looks at Gary. "He's in here."
"Oh God..." Gary looks surprise. "It's him!"
"Pardon?"
"It's him, Yu, the one that attacked Obel!"
He eyed the injured patient once again.
"Really?"
"Yes, I have keen eyes, y'know!" said Gary, persuading Yu to believe him.
Yu looks at the man that lying in front of him. So, this is the man, Commander Troy of Kooluk, the one that manage to invade Obel. He hasn't seen him in person because he's already joined in this ship when there is an order of evacuation.
But, from his point of view, with this weak condition and closed eyes, he is not look like a bad guy. Totally not look like a fearsome man he imagines. Well, maybe looks can be deceiving sometimes. Remember what they said? 'Don't judge the book by its cover...'
"Gary, as a healer, I suggest we must put aside that personal matter and focus in healing them." said Yu.
Yu, as a doctor, before Lino given his trust to him in tending his son and the commander, already has his own ethic code. He has to treat the wounded one, even though it is an enemy. Yes, you wouldn't believe he is that kind of person. Though his love for money, he never plays around whenever someone in front of him is in serious need. Why? Well, he is just like that.
"Ah yes, you're right! Sorry, I don't mean to be the bad guy here."
"No, you're not. Could you please search for surgery mask and plastic gloves?"
"What? Are you telling me that..." Gary eyed Yu with concern.
"Yes, we're going to have a surgery for him. I'd tell you later, but he has quite serious wound. I hope you're prepares with the anesthetic bottle and tools for sewing it."
"Are we going to need herbal mixture from Nao?" asked Gary. His hand is already full with equipment they need to do surgery.
"Ah, yes, that one, for reducing pain in his wound. Wait." Yu looks up at the cupboard. Then, he sees a small bottled ointment lay still beside container of small cotton and takes it out.
"How is Captain Lazlo? Is he alright? Should we check on him too?"
"He's fine. I'm already checked on him. Although his heartbeat is slower than normal person, but we can high hopes that he's alive." then, Yu continues, "But first, we have to save this one. I hope you're ready."
Both Yu and Gary put on their surgery mask and plastic gloves. They quickly organize the tools they need on the table. Then, they open the bloodied bandage that used in closing the wound. The blood is already dry.
Gary seems startled after seeing it. It's...quite gruesome, indeed. Yu quickly puts the anesthetic on syringe and injects it near the injury.
The medical tools already on table near them. The surgery is about to begin.
