Chronicles of Admiral Demon

Chapter 5: Death can wait...

Demon eyes began to twitch close, the world around him began to blur and grow quiet. Tali watched the whole scene unfold, fortunately for Demon she was in the area, rushing towards Demon's known location.

"Demon!" Screamed Tali, at the top of her lungs.

Tali climbed the rubble seeing Demon covered in rubble and burn marks. Tali knelt down resting Demon's head on her legs.

"Stay with me, don't you dare die on me!"

Tali was taking her Emergency kit, a flask full of water and an adrenaline shot. Tali gave Demon a drink before injecting the Adrenaline into his heart. From the feeling of coldness piercing his heart, was soon relieved by the feeling of fire.

"…Hot… I'm on fire… it burns."

Tali gave Demon another Drink before calling the radio for an emergency evac. Soon Demon's body was surrounded by his friends.

Have to stay awake…. The adrenaline is barley keeping me awake….

Darkness….

Demon opened his eyes seeing he was in the medical bay, both Mordin and Chakwas was pulling shrapnel out of his body.

"Ow! Damn it docs can you give me some painkillers or anesthetic ."

Chakwas, put down the medical tweezers.

"Sorry Admiral, but we need you to stay wake or, we might risk losing you."

Mordin was busy stitching Demon on his back.

"sff Fuck…! Can you at least dull the pain a –sff- bit, my body feels like it's on fire!"

Chakwas lowered her mask while looking down at Demon.

"What would you recommend Shepard?"

Demon propped himself up with his elbows looking up.

"Alcohol helps."

Chakwas just scoffed while heading to her private reserve. From the cabinet Chakwas pulled out a bottle of strong serrice Ice brandy.

"You just wanted an excuse to have another glass?"

Demon chuckled a bit while grabbing the glass from Chakwas hands gulping down the drink, while preparing for the pain.

Tali entered the room, sitting by Demon in a chair.

"How is he?"

Mordin put down the needle, on the medical tray.

"Should soon be in stable condition, Shepard is lucky to have survived that blast."

Demon shook his glass in front of Chakwas, hoping for some more.

"You know if you go through this, you're responsible of replacing it."

Demon trying to subside the pain, just murmured.

"Yeah… Yeah… Fucking hate that Elite! Placing a bomb in the market place…. Wait! Is Mikoto and Lingqi alright, did they escape the blast?!"

Chakwas handed Demon another glass of the brandy.

"Settle down Admiral, Mikoto and Lingqi got lucky. Mikoto dislocated her arm, while Lingqi had a minor concussion. If Tali wasn't there to keep you awake, we didn't know if we could save you."

Mordin cauterized the wound on his back after he stitched up the wound.

"Damn it! Thanks Tali, you saved my life…."

Tali was blushing, trying to avoid the embarrassment she turned her head down. Ali came in with tray of food for Demon, as the two medical professions finished up on Demon.

"Alright Admiral we're done here, now make sure to rest, eat up, and drink plenty of fluids."

Demon sat up on the medical bed as Ali handed him his meal. Meatloaf, Mash potatoes, peas, and a pudding. Demon wanted to eat the mash potatoes first, the first scoop that went in his mouth, he just spit it out.

"Gah what the Fuck?! This tastes horrible!"

Ali tried to make Demon a nice meal, but both Mordin and Chakwas put medication in the food.

"It's not my fault! Mordin and Chakwas, put medication in your food!"

Ali with teary eyes ran out of the room.

Oh Fuck great Job, Jackass!

Demon got up from his bed trying to stop Ali.

"Wait Ali… Ow! Fuck my back hurts like living hell!"

Tali helped Demon back on his feet and then on his medical bed.

"You need to rest Shepard…. Why are eating that, when you said it was horrible?"

Demon with a mouthful of food, looked up at Tali.

"are you kidding me, it's Ali's cooking you don't throw that away. Might be the last I get at this rate…."

Tali kissed Demon on the forehead, before leaving the room.

"I'll be down in Engineering, try to take it easy Admiral…"

Ten Hours later…

Demon was out cold on his bed, resting from the pain in his back, Urz hopped on top of the bed sitting on the foot of the bed.

Rear Admiral Demon was on the bridge of his flag ship the Ravager, the sea border of the Heartland and the Easter Empire was being contested by the two warring factions. Admiral Demon was holding the line with his fleet, he was approached by the Communicator Ensign Mikael.

"Ensign any updates on our supplies?"

Ensign handed Demon the reports.

"Admiral the supply network said there were no such supplies delivered, the King declared us dead…."

Demon right eye began to twitch.

"This was a trap….?"

The Admiral could not let the enemy through, his fleet had to hold them off.

..

Demon woke up immediately, from the incoming Nightmare, and right on time to the Alarm went off startling Urz.

Demon got up from the medical bay putting on his attire. Demon stumbled out of the medical bay with Urz following. As the medical bay door opened Demon bumped into Lingqi, which made Demon fall against the rail with his back.

OW! FUCK!

"Demon, you're up are you alright, they told me your wounds were severe…."

Demon gave a dismissive nod.

"I had worst, now I got to head to the bridge to see what's been going on… as you were Lingqi."

Demon made his way to the command deck of the Ravager. Demon opened the door leading to the bridge, seeing everyone hard at work, a marine immediately announced at the arriving Admiral.

"Admiral on Deck!"

Every one immediately got up from their work station standing at attention.

"As you were…"

Demon sat in the Captain's chair trying to relax from yesterday's battle. Demon picked up the hand radio linked to the inter comm.

"This is your Admiral speaking, the fleet has been refueled and restocked and Sparta has sent us a couple chests of gold, our destination is to get away from the Hellenic border territories, that covenant raid was too close of a call…. Effective immediately were setting course for the Tropical territories…. Rumors of every beach is hiding treasure under its sand, we're going there to confirm this… also some shore leave would do the fleet some good if we find an abandoned island…. Admiral Demon out… "

Demon ignited a red aura over his body to speed the healing process…. Though Demon still doesn't fully understand it yet.

Come on I've done this before!

Demon got up from his chair looking towards Presley.

"Presley you're in charge while I'm resting in my cabin, keep a course."

Presley put down his clipboard, while approaching the Admiral's chair.

"Understood Admiral."

Demon made his way to the Captain's kitchen, where Ali was hard at work. Demon approached Ali from behind tapping on her shoulder. Ali turned off the egg beater turning around to see the Admiral looking at her.

"Oh… Hi Admiral…"

Admiral?

Demon leaned against the counter, but saw that was a mistake due to the soreness on his back.

Ouch…

"Uh Ali… I need to say something to you… I'm sorry for what happened earlier, you work your ass off every day and sometimes I don't appreciate it."

Ali wrapped her arms around Demon pulling him in.

"I forgive you, sorry about your meal though."

Demon chuckled a bit, from hearing that.

"Ali if it wasn't for your cooking, I would've been dead, or puking out my guts. "

"Speaking of my cooking, I was busy making you a recovery meal, so why don't you go rest in your cabin, while I finish cooking."

Demon kissed Ali on the forehead before making his way towards his room. Demon just crawled on to his bed trying to rest from the pain still emitting from his back.

Shore leave got to keep that in mind, applying sun tan lotion on the girls…. :O….. GOT TO RECOVER FASTER!

Demon reignited his red aura, trying to recover from his injury. A red hazy wave exploded traveling through the ships interior then exterior.

What the Hell was that? …. Hey I don't feel pain any more!

Mean while…..

Kronos Island

The Masked man put down a scripture he was reading noticing a powerful energy build up.
