Iwaizumi listened to the echoing of the gunfire and furrowed his brows. "Iwaizumi calls for team Crow", he stated to his radiophone. "Do you hear me?"
"We hear you", the sound from the other end of the line said. Iwaizumi was pretty sure it was Daichi, Crows' captain. "The situation is still under control, no worries. There are just more Dolls than excepted here."
"I'm glad to hear that. The Owls are nearby, try to reach them if you face problems", Iwaizumi noted. "Clear."
"Clear." Iwaizumi put the radiophone back to its place on his shoulder and walked down the hill. Everything seemed alright, so he could do his part in killing Dolls now instead of overseeing the city. He kept his guards up while walking between the high buildings, since Dolls were almost everywhere. However, as long as he wouldn't come across a pack of more than ten Dolls, he should be fine.
Speak of the devil. When Iwaizumi turned in the next street corner, he saw a whole ocean of Dolls. This was probably one of their headquarters. Iwaizumi turned around and tried to get away before any of them would notice him, but he knew he was late when he heard a screeching voice behind him.
"Shit", he muttered, turned back around and saw roughly thirty Dolls moving towards him. He took the radiophone off his shoulder and pressed the red button, which connected him to all other radiophones.
"Over forty Dolls in Street 7. Iwaizumi here, I'm all alone. Send help. I repeat, over forty Dolls in Street 7." He put the radiophone back on his shoulder without cutting the connection off. He took the guns from his waist and locked his eyes on the Dolls. Some of them were people he knew, but Iwaizumi tried not to think about that. They were just beasts now, emotionless hunting machines.
"Kageyama calls Iwaizumi. Crows are nearby, we are there in few minutes, just hang on."
"We need more force", Iwaizumi answered. "Where is team Eagles?"
"Five minutes. We are on our way."
"Good", Iwaizumi huffed and took a few steps back. "Here I go then." When he pulled the trigger, the Dolls that had been moving slowly until now snapped. One of them fell down by Iwaizumi's bullet, two others seemed to lose their calm and screamed like dying animals, while the others started running towards Iwaizumi. Now the others too had turned their attention to Iwaizumi, and soon he was surrounded by a pack of Dolls.
"How the heck are you named 'Dolls' when you are literally the most horrible creatures I have ever seen?" Iwaizumi muttered and shoot twice more. Two more lifeless monsters.
"Mama?" He flinched when he heard a quiet, helpless voice, and when he turned his head he saw a little girl standing ten meters from them. "Mama!" She was clearly lost, and Iwaizumi would have guessed that her mother was one of the Dolls. Her voice made three of the Dolls turn their attention from Iwaizumi, and they started to move towards the kid.
"Fuck, not now", Iwaizumi hissed, spun around to kick the nearest Doll to head and shoot five times more to get himself out of the circle of Dolls. He ran to the girl and snatched her to his embrace without stopping.
"Why are you here all by yourself?" Iwaizumi murmured to the crying girl. "It's okay. I'll take you to a safe place." Running with a kid was slower than without and Iwaizumi knew what that meant. The Dolls would catch him in no time. He gazed above his shoulder and saw that about twenty Dolls were following him. He was right, they were quickly catching up. However, there was no way Iwaizumi could have left the girl here. Soldier's duty was to protect civilians or die while trying.
Sharp claws tore the back of his shirt apart, leaving nasty wounds in his back, and Iwaizumi took a sharp breath and lost his balance. He was quick enough to turn to his side so the girl wouldn't get hurt, but he couldn't get up before two Dolls caught him. Iwaizumi growled and protected the screaming girl with his hand. The claws were tearing his skin and he felt how one of Dolls dug its teeth in his leg. Iwaizumi reached for the knife in his pocket and stabbed it deep in the Doll's head. Then he kicked the one on top of him and pulled the girl nearer him. Now he could reach his gun which had fell when he tripped. Two shots later he was free for a moment and got to get up. However, he knew he wouldn't get far with a wounded leg, so he stayed still and pulled the trembling girl even closer to keep her safe. He didn't have many bullets left, but it shouldn't be long until…
"Get down!" He heard a loud voice behind them and instantly kneeled down, pushing the girl's head down and holding her still. A loud gunshot caused the Dolls to turn their attention to the arrived soldiers. Using this as a chance Iwaizumi dragged backwards to get nearer the other soldiers. For a while after that all Iwaizumi could hear were gunfire, horrifying screams and the voice of soldiers giving orders to each other.
"Iwaizumi? Iwaizumi, do you hear me?" he recognized the voice of Daichi and lifted his head a bit.
"Yea", he breathed out. "The girl…"
"Tsukishima, take this kid away from here and check if she's alright", Daichi ordered one of his underlings. The tall blonde nodded, took the girl on his arms and leaved the field.
"Did they bite you?" Daichi asked, turning his attention back to Iwaizumi.
"In the leg", Iwaizumi muttered. The world had started spinning in his head, and the pain felt like it was burning him. He barely could feel a pinch in his arm when antibiotic was given to him.
"Hey, stay awake", Daichi demanded and carefully shook his shoulder.
"Fuck", Iwaizumi breathed out. "I was careless."
"As if. You saved the kid. Now you just have to stay awake a while." Daichi was tying Iwaizumi's wounds, speaking calmly to him to keep him conscious. The others got the Dolls to retreat after killing eleven of them. No one of them seemed badly wounded, Iwaizumi noted relievedly.
"You should have waited for us, you know?" Kageyama pointed out. "You got hurt pretty badly."
"I tried to", Iwaizumi huffed and lifted his head to meet other man's eyes. "But they noticed me before I could hide. And then that girl showed up." He had to stop talking due the nauseous feeling in his stomach, and he gripped his head letting out a pained sigh.
"Can you stand? We should get you to the medics as soon as possible", Daichi said and observed the brunet's eyes with a worried face. "You are getting pale."
"Let's see…" Iwaizumi bended himself to lean on the ground with his hand and stood up with a pained gurn on his face, reeled a bit while trying to keep his balance and then gripped Daichi's shoulder so he wouldn't fall back to the ground. His leg was killing him, the pain felt in his whole body and his head felt like blowing up. With a help of Daichi and Kageyama he started to make his way to the headquarters, while the other soldiers went back to their positions.
"Iwa-chan! Hajime, are you alright?" Iwaizumi noticed Oikawa's voice from the radiophone instantly. Daichi took the radiophone from Iwaizumi's shoulder without giving Iwaizumi any time to react.
"Daichi here, Oikawa. I can't say Iwaizumi is alright, but there's nothing to worry about. He will be back in track soon."
"Daichi? Is Hajime unconscious?"
"I'm not, Trashykawa", Iwaizumi snorted when Daichi handed the radiophone over. "I just injured my leg. And back. And arms. But I'm alive. Come to the headquarters if you feel nervous."
"I'm already here", Oikawa sneered. "Needed to refill the antibiotics. Are you far away?"
"I said I'll be there soon", Iwaizumi sighed. "Just mind your own business."
"Mean!"
"Are Kuroo and Kenma there?" Iwaizumi asked. The line fell silent for a moment.
"Yea, I guess. Or no, they just left. Why?" Oikawa sounded curious, but Iwaizumi just clicked his tongue.
"Just asking. They are our teammates, after all", Iwaizumi murmured, starting to feel dizzy again. "See you soon, okay?"
"Hajime? You sound weird. Is everything okay? Hajime?"
"Now now, let him rest a bit, Oikawa", Kageyama snarled and clicked his tongue, taking the radiophone from Iwaizumi. "He's barely awake, after all. Now sit down and wait a bit, we are there in a minute."
"As you say, Tobio-chan. Clear." Oikawa's voice was clearly sarcastic, but it didn't seem to bother Kageyama. The raven-haired man closed the line and put the radiophone back to Iwaizumi's shoulder.
"Just try to stay awake, Iwaizumi. We don't know if you'll wake up again after this kind of blood loss if you pass out now."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"'Just injured your leg'? It looks horrible!" Iwaizumi couldn't help but sigh when Oikawa started overreacting right after he got in the same room with him. "And you are even paler than me! You look like a corpse, Hajime!"
"Relax, I'm not a zombie", Iwaizumi snorted and turned to lay on his chest while the leading medic, Kiyoko, observed the wounds in his back. "I'm better already. I just needed something to drink."
"You are really strange, Hajime", Oikawa hummed and kneeled down next to him. "I would have died already. I mean, you lost so damn much blood that you could fill a pool with it."
"Thanks for the image. You are overacting."
"I'm just worried!" Oikawa reasoned his actions. "Those wounds look painful."
"You don't need to remind me about that", Iwaizumi snarled. "But you talk like my whole leg was bitten off. It might be a deep wound, but it will be fine in few days."
"No, it won't", Takeda, one of the medics, interrupted their conversation. "You won't be moving anywhere with that leg at least for a week. And even after that you shouldn't strain it in a month.
"As if I'd stay here that long", Iwaizumi huffed. "I'm quick to recover, as you know very well."
"Yes, I know, and that's why I said one month instead of two", Takeda stated. "Be serious about this, Iwaizumi. At this rate you won't be able to do this for long."
"How long you think we are going to have to keep doing this?" Iwaizumi snapped. "I know my body the best. I won't be reckless, but a month is way too much. The quicker I go back there, the quicker we get this all done."
Takeda looked at him with squinted eyes, but just shrugged. "As you say. Just don't wore yourself out."
"I won't", Iwaizumi promised. "I'm way tougher than you think."
