Chapter 12: First Fight


"ok two more to go" Oz said as he inserted the second symbol on the lock and was now left with finding the last two symbols for the combination of the lock.

It's been a few minutes that he has started to doing this with out rest or breaks that his eye's where starting to get a bit sore from looking at the screen for such a long time that he would rub his eyes to ease the pain every once in a while.

And so far he has been up for about an hour on doing the hack in that the time is 10:14 PM, for him.

But he wasn't really tired since he has gotten use to the whole staying up late at night because of all of the late night studying that he did with his friends back home where they would study late at night until it was either 1 or 2 am at night.

So doing this was something normal for him and not new.

So... while he work on the hack, something else was outside as 'it' was making it's way towards the spaceship. And it was just a few meters away from the spaceship.

And once it made it to the side of the spaceship, it look for an entrance took get inside so that 'it' didn't make to much noise as it made it's way inside.

And after just a few seconds of searching, it found an entrance in the back side of the spaceship where 'it' found a vent that 'it' could enter from. And it made it's way to vent by climbing up the back side of the spaceship.

Meanwhile back inside.

While 'that' was happing outside, Oz was finally able to locate the last two symbols with that last set of system re-writes and he was able to put them on the lock.

And once he put the last two symbols on the lock, the lock on the glass cylinder finally unlock it's self by letting the for grip hands on the sides of the lock to let go of the glass cylinder and allow Oz to take off the lock off the cylinder.

"finally, that took long in of" Oz said with a sigh of relief as he put the cap to the side and put the cylinder standing up as he went to get the strip of glass that he had taken form the cabinet before he started the whole task of unlocking the lock on the cylinder.

And once he had the strip of glass in his hands, he carefully dip the piece of glass that was no bigger than a piece of gum into the green liquid that was inside the cylinder and then he took it out. But before he insert it to the computer like an ordinary USB, he had to wipe the bottom part of the glass dry before inserting it.

So after that was done, he then put it to right side of the computer where it was made to take in the piece of glass with the green liquid.

And once it was inside, the computer notified Oz that a item has been detected and ask him if he wanted to run 'tests' on the identified item that it found.

And seeing that the computer was able to find it, he click on 'run tests' and let the computer run the tests as he lean back on the chair that he was on.

Now all that was left was for him to sit back and wait for the results. So he watch the screen as it began to scan the compounds on the liquid and do some small test to find even more small things that a normal person wouldn't be able to find with ordinary tools.

So again, Oz spend 10 minutes seated on the chair as he waited for the computer to finish running the tests.

And trough that time that he spent sitting down waiting for it to be over, the intruder that had gotten in was already inside and it was searching for either Oz or Ashley, 'it' didn't know where they where so it was searching for them.

But 'it' wasn't to far from where Oz was since 'it' was only about 124 meters from where Oz is at, and it was heading straight towards the area that Oz was seated.

And as it made it's way on the steel floor, it made heavy metal footsteps as it walk in a slow pace in the hallways.

And it was walking with the knife that it had in it's right arm as it let it strike against the walls of the hallways, almost as if 'it' was sharpening the knife as it walk.

But anyways, the enemy intruder was now half way from reaching where Oz was.

Back with Oz

"great it's finish" Oz said with relief voice as he saw that the tests where done and where now showing a large ton of data that it has found in the green liquid.

"wow that's a lot of data, may as well save it for later because this should take me about 10 hours to go over thru". Oz said as he decided to save all of the data so that he could go over all of the data that he got and check on it another time when he had time, so he decided to send all of the capture data to his computer back home witch he always keeps on incase he wants to send something to his computer at home.

So now he was sending about 12GB worth of data to his computer back home.

"ok now that that's done, I think I should poor the green liquid into a different container so that I don't have to worry about reopening the lock once I was able to unlock it". Oz said as he started to look around the room for a container that he could use to store in the green liquid.

So he got up from his seat with the glass cylinder in hand as he started to look for a different container to put in the green chemical.

So after a small period of time of searching for a different container, he wasn't able to find one so he decided to head out the door of the room that lead to the back end of the spaceship and look for a storage compartment and see if he could find one.

So he headed towards the door with the green cylinder in hand in front of him as he made his way to the door.

But as he made his way to the door, he and the enemy intruder where both heading towards the same door with out even knowing that they where.

And now both Oz and the enemy intruder where just feet's away from seeing each other with the metal door being in between them.

And there and then everything seem to have slow down as Oz was about to reach for the door handle and the enemy was about to do the same as Oz. And then the door was soon open by Oz ho was able to open the door first and then...

Silence hit the room.

Oz and the enemy where now eyeing each other down as they saw themselves standing in front of one another.

oOo Back at Mission control oOo

Silence was also hear in the large room as everyone in the room saw Oz and the enemy look at each other with stun looks on there face.

Everyone had either a surprise and scare look on there face as they saw the enemy intruder standing just a couple of feet from Oz.

Martin and the president where even more shock about the unsuspected event that they didn't know what to say or what to do, they didn't know wither to call Oz and tell him to escape or to do anything else.

oOo At Oz's house oOO

Oz's friends or simply the ones that were still awake, they where both shocked and worried. Shocked because they saw for the first time a troop or soldier from the enemy side that was standing in front of Oz. And they where worried because they didn't know what was to happen to there friend Oz ho was going to either run or fight the enemy.

oOo Back with Oz oOo

Within the first few seconds that they saw each other, Oz ho was surprise at first became absolutely serious as he saw his enemy opponent standing in front of him.

And the enemy ho was slightly surprise to see that it's prey was standing in front of him, it grinded evilly as he saw Oz standing in front of him.

And now that they saw each other, the only thing that came in both of there mines was to fight.

So instantly, the enemy was the first to strike as he use his black knife that 'it' was holing in it's right hand to try and land a swift slice across Oz's neck.

But Oz seeing the knife heading towards his neck, he reacted by quickly ducking and letting the knife go above him before he got up and move back away from the enemy to avoid any further attacks from the enemy.

And once he move back he place the glass cylinder on a near by table and took out his own knife to compete against the enemy ho was waiting for Oz to make his next move.

And so he did by quickly dashing towards the enemy and being in front of him and quickly trying to send a side kick to the enemy's stomach. But the enemy block it with 'it's' right arm and lunch a right punch to Oz's face.

But Oz simply move to the left to avoid the punch that the enemy send, after that Oz move back and use his knife to try and land a hit to the enemy's left shoulder by running to the enemy intruder.

And before he could land a hit, the enemy use his knife to block of the attack while making a small amount of sparks to appear when both knife collided.

"gggrrrrr"

Both Oz and the enemy intruder had eye's of determination as they look into each others eyes as they tried to push of each other with there knifes before both of them retrieve and move back from one another and then continuing in there battle with sending each other blows and attacks with both speed and strength that the viewers that where watching it from the cameras in the spaceship and the others ho where watching form Oz's point of view where both equally shock to see the fight between Oz and the enemy.

In mission control they where totally stun to see Oz being able to fight against the enemy in a equal forms, that it surprise them to see Oz having no trouble in fight against the enemy. And same could go for Oz's friends ho where watching the live fight between Oz and the enemy back at Oz's house.

"(cough) ...your good, it's the first time that I get an opponent that's this strong" Oz said with smile on his face as he hold the knife in his right hand as he pointed it at the enemy.

"..." the enemy didn't say anything besides being silent for one second before he went to attack again.

And seeing the enemy move forward to him, Oz did the same as he charge forward and clash against the enemy with his knife in hand.

And with the resume of the battle, everyone that was watching the fight was concern and focus on watching the fight as it drag along.

So for the next past few minutes, both Oz and the enemy put up a fierce fight with one another as they fight with full strength and brute force as they both tried to land deadly blows on each other. But it wasn't working as much as they hope to because they ended up having avoid each others attacks and had cause some of the things that where around them to either get puncture or broken.

Oz ho just recover from blocking a hit from the enemy. He use his knife to throw it at the enemy in the chest and then swiftly move as fast as he could towards the side of side of the enemy and send a side kick to the enemy's stomach which he was able to land on the enemy with a strong hit that it allowed him to land a uppercut on the enemy.

And that resulted in the enemy having to block the incoming knife and then having to get hit on his side by Oz, and it also resulted in the enemy backing up a bit form the hit, but he look up just in time to see Oz coming towards him with the knife that he pick up after throwing it at him.

And Oz was directing the knife to the enemy's neck, but the enemy was able to react quick in of to grab Oz's hand and land a swift punch across Oz's face. And that cause Oz to spit out some blood from his mouth after he landed on the ground after getting send 5 feet backwards.

But Oz had no time to sit and rest, he got right back up and used his knife for another attack.

And the enemy ho was able to get back at Oz for the attack earlier, he also move forward to Oz and ready himself for another attack.

This time the enemy used his speed and strength to lunch a powerful punch to Oz's stomach and then hit Oz with a powerful kick across Oz's face and then quickly using both of his fist to hit Oz on the chest twice.

And then he used the back of his knife or the handle to strike Oz on his left side of his stomach and then pushing him back with a kick to the chest.

And that made Oz crash to a wall on the inside of the spaceship, and you could see but Oz ended up breaking his right hand that he used to reduce the impact of the throw to the wall.

"fuck...that is going to hurt me for a week" Oz said as he slowly got back up while spiting out blood.

And while looking back at the enemy, the enemy simply shake his hand to mock Oz that the attack was nothing to him.

"so mocking me now?, well lets see ho will be mocking ho at the end of this" Oz said as he pick up two pieces of steal that where the same size of his knife and used them to throw them at the enemy with such a speed that the enemy didn't see them coming and ended up with having the sharp metal objects pierce both of his shoulders.

And then Oz dash forward again towards the enemy with blinding speed that the moment that the enemy remove both objects off his shoulders. The enemy intruder was then attack by Oz ho use both of his fist to strike 20 hits on the enemy's chest in just 2 seconds before sending and upper cut to the enemy's face and then using his right hand to bring down the enemy's face to his knee witch collided with the enemy's face.

And then he used his knife to attempt on slice the enemy's chest, but that was block by the enemy by using his left hand to grab his arm and pushing him back so that he could get some space from Oz.

"(cough)" was what the enemy said as he wipe of some blood of his mouth.

And Oz ho was push back didn't stand still for long as he went back to attacking the enemy.

oOo In mission control room oOo

As the fight keep on going, everyone in the control room and everyone else in the base ho was allowed to see what was happing inside the spaceship on TV and Holograms. They where shocked beyond words to see Oz fight with brute force and be able to fight toe to toe with the enemy ho they had consider to be unstoppable.

And most of the military soldiers ho where watching the fight in the cafeteria where they where eating lunch after doing tasks. They where surprise even more to see someone ho was younger than them ho was able to handle themselves in a fight with the enemy.

It made them look week compare to Oz.

But besides, the ones ho where shocked beyond them where Martin and the president ho had there mouths wide open from seeing Oz fight against the enemy.

"h-how is this possible?, nobody has been able to fight toe to toe whit the enemy. Even when it's from long distance and using military machines such as the air force and tanks. The only thing that comes close as to being able to fight against the enemy is a pilot using a 'nightmare'". Martin said with a shocked expression as he told the president that only a pilot using a 'nightmare' was barley able to fight against the enemy.

But here they where watching Oz fight with brute strength against the enemy.

"I-indeed, I am really glad that Oz was pick to go on the mission with my daughter or else she wouldn't had a chance in defending herself against the enemy. Reminded me to thank Oz in advance". The president said as he told Martin to reminded him in thanking Oz for going on the mission with his daughter.

oOo Oz's house oOo

In Oz's house where everyone was now up because of the others waking up the ones that where sleeping, they where watching the fight with a worried look on there face as they watch Oz fight the enemy intruder.

They where more worried than shocked because they know what Oz is capable of doing in a fist fight, and so far they seen moves that Oz has done before in his training and some that they haven't seen before.

"geez I didn't know that Oz had it in him" Vincent said as he watch the TV that showed the fight in Oz's point of view.

"yeah and for him to get back up almost instantly after every strong attack from the enemy is pretty impressing" Elliot said as he watch the screen with surprise look on his face when he stated that Oz could get back up after every hit that landed on him.

"well that's Oz, he always puts a lot of effort to his training so it wouldn't be much of a surprise to see him fight like this" Charlotte said whit a small smile as she watch the screen with a bit of worried as she watch Oz fight the enemy intruder.

"true, but what I want to know is how he can still stand up after those strong attacks from the enemy, I saw how much the wall got dented because of him being throw against the wall", Break said in a interested voice instead of a surprise voice as he ask how Oz couldn't still stand after receiving the hard hits.

"I could ask the same, it's both impressing and surprising to see Oz take the hits like it's almost nothing". Leo said as he agree with Break's comment.

"well let's just hope that Oz can make it out alive, it wouldn't be good to see a friend die" Echo said with worried and serious tone as she watch the screen with a worried look on her face as she watch Oz fight the enemy intruder.

And with her simple comment, they turn silent and resume watching the live feedback on the screen, and they watch the TV with a worried and concern look on there face as they watch there friend fight against a enemy that was equal in power with him,

oOo Back in the fight oOo

Time skip 10 minutes

While the fight was roaring on in the front area of the inside of the spaceship, at the midsection of the spaceship.

Ashley ho was sleeping peacefully in her bed, she was slowly waking up due to her being able to hear noise coming from afar.

To her it sound like someone was either moving stuff around or ...breaking stuff.

So for her hearing things like that, she was curious to know what it was so she slowly got up and slowly walk out of the room that she was in.

The hallway that she was walking had the lights switch off so the only thing that gave off light was the light from the moon that shine thru the window.

"(yawn) I wonder what Oz could be doing at this time of hour" Ashely said as she cover her mouth when she gave off a yawn and ask her self on what Oz might be doing.

So she keep on walking down the hallway until she started to hear more noise to where it started out from low to loud and then to where she could hear even more noise.

And then she stop when she was in front of the door that lead to front section of the spaceship where she could hear the noise clearly.

SF: (crashing) (glass shattering) (metal scrapping)

"w-what's going on?" Ashley how was getting even more concern ask her self as she wonder what was causing all that noise.

So wanting to know what was going on, she slowly reach over the handle of the door and open it slightly so that she could see what was going on inside.

But the moment that she open the door just a few inches, the room inside fell silent the moment she open he door the see that things inside the room where trash and broken.

"what happen here?", Ashley said with a shocked voice as she saw how the inside of the room was.

But that wasn't all that she saw, the moment that she look to the right... she saw two figures standing against each other in a combat ready position.

One was dark black figure that was dressed in metal that completely cover it's entire frame, and the figure was slightly panting as it hold a black knife in it's hand.

Then she look over to the other figure, and then she saw Oz in the same state as the other black figure, and he was also holding a knife in his hand but it was color white.

Oz just like the other black figure, he was slightly panting while he had one eye close and while holding onto his left shoulder whit his free hand to cover up a wound.

A knife wound to be precise.

"(gasp silently) what's going on?, ho is Oz fight against and why?" Ashley ho didn't understand the situation ask a bunch a questions to herself as she question on what was going on.

But before she could think of anything else, Oz and the dark figure suddenly dash forward at such a speed that she didn't even see them move until she saw them collide with there knifes and then they push back against each other before they started to send punches and kicks to each other.

Oz ho was injure in shoulder from a stab wound. he was eager to end the fight now because he was starting to get slow because he was starting to get tired from fight nonstop with the enemy intruder.

So he was trying to think of a way to end the fight between them both, but the question was how?.

"come on I got to think about how I am going to end this, if I don't come up with a way to take him down then I am the one who would be going down" Oz said to himself as he began to think about a plan on how he was gong to end the fight.

He saw only a few advantages that he could use in the room to his success.

But before he could think again on what to do, he was unready to receive a striking blow to the side of his stomach that cause him to skit a few inches to the left and then having to block a knife swing that was aim to his neck with his knife and then having to block a second attack that was a strike to his neck by the enemy ho sent his leg to his neck.

And in that moment he used the moment to use his knife to immediately stab the enemy's leg and then sent a powerful punch across the enemy's face, and that allowed him to get a little bit more time in figuring out a plan to how to take the enemy down.

So quickly he look around the room to see if anything would be of a use. And while looking around the room, he saw Ashley looking thru the door.

"Ashley go and hide somewhere, I can't have you here where you can get injure while we are under attack by an enemy" Oz said as he warn Ashley about the current situation as he look away just in time to block a knife swing that was aim to his chest by the enemy and then he move to the side and used the distance between them to land a punch on the enemy's side.

But the moment that he did that, the enemy move fast in off to grave Oz's arm and then swing him around before slamming him downwards on to the table that he was working on before the fight.

And another thing was that he crash right above the glass cylinder that contain the green cylinder.

And by landing on top of it, it resulted in him having the green liquid go inside him because of a open wound that he had in his back that allowed some of the green liquid to enter his blood system.

"(cough) ..." Oz was completely unaware that he had landed right on top of the glass cylinder as he ignore what had happen and use both of his hands to stop a knife that was aim at his neck. and he blocked it by grabing a hold of the enemy's wrist to stop the enemy's advancements.

But it wasn't working so well since his right arm was still week due to it being broken and his shoulder being injure as well, so he was losing due to strength as the knife was moving dangerously close to his neck with each passing second.

"eeeerrrrrggggg" Oz was struggling to keep the knife from advancing because he was weaker than the enemy at the moment.

And Ashley ho was watching the fight go on, she was now extremely concern as to what to do now that Oz was in a dangerous situation. And seeing him struggle made her want to go out and help, but she couldn't, why?. Because she didn't know how to fight and nor did she know what to do in a situation like this.

"come on think, think" Ashley said to herself as she tried to think of a way that she could help Oz.

But it didn't take long for her to think of an idea as she saw that Oz's white knife was on the ground, and it was laying right in front of the door that she was hiding behind from.

And that's where her plan came in, but at the same time she didn't know either to do it or not to do it.

If she did then she will be able to save Oz from getting kill by the enemy intruder, and if she didn't. She was going to watch Oz die right in front of her, and that's something that she didn't want to see, not with someone that she already sees as a friend.

So with a bit of thinking over it and getting the determination that she needed. She made up her mind and did what she had to do in order to save Oz from getting killed.

So she immediately open the door and quickly pick up the knife on the ground and ran as fast as she could and got right behind the enemy's back and raise the knife up high in the air with both her hands and close her eyes right before she sent the knife towards the enemy's neck and pushing it as deep as she could.

"aaaaahhhhhh" Ashley yelled as she keep on pushing the knife deeper into the enemy's neck as she hope that she could stop him from killing Oz.

And it didn't take long for enemy to soon let go of the knife that it had in it's hands and fall to the left with the knife sticking out of it's neck whit blood coming out of it's mouth and neck.

And once the enemy fell to the floor dead, Oz ho was panting heavily on the floor slowly look up at Ashley ho was on the ground with both her hands on the ground ho was using the ground as support as she was panting slightly from what she did.

"Ashley... that was both stupid and reckless and you couldn't have gotten yourself kill, but..." Oz said as he look at Ashley with a tired look on his face. And hearing Oz's voice, Ashley look up to see Oz's smiling right before he said.

"thanks for helping me out...I could have been a goner, but thanks to you I am still alive" Oz said as he told Ashley that he was thankful for her stepping in and saving him. And Ashley ho heard Oz say that he was thankful for helping him, she couldn't help but smile as well.

"y-yeah, your welcome" Ashely said as she smile back at him as she and Oz where seated on the ground trying to catch there breaths. But before they could call the whole thing to an end and relax that the whole thing had ended, the enemy's wrist that resemble a scare clock started to beep in a slow red color as it started to beep in a countdown.

Oz ho saw the item counting down immediately knew what was going to happen, it wasn't rocket science to know that it was a bomb that was set to go off.

So he instantly got up and ignore the pain that was coursing thru his body and pick Ashley up in his arms without telling her anything as he tried to run away with her in his arms.

And the moment that he step out of the door and made it six feet away from the door, a sudden explosion occur in the room that they where in earlier and cause the spaceship to start blowing up in a chain reaction as it started to blow up from the front of the ship to all the way to the back.

And Oz ho saw no other way to get out of the spaceship and avoid the current explosions that where happing, he only had one idea as to keeping one of them safe.

So right before they where engulf in a bright orange and yellow light with fire and flying material. Oz at very last second use himself as a shield to protect Ashley right before he felt a sharp metal object hit the back of his back and then cause him to black out.

(BOOOOOOOOOM)

Was all that you could see from a distance as the spaceship went up in a explosion and collapse on it's self.

But when that happen, Oz and Ashley ho where right next to a window when it happen. They where send flying outside when it had occur.

And for everybody ho was watching right before everything went black was shocked to see the spaceship that Oz and Ashley where in, went up in flames.

Seconds later, Ashley and Oz where on the ground with only bruises, cuts, scrapes and slight burn marks, but that was only what Ashley saw on her self right before she saw Oz's state of injury.

Oz was more hurt and injure than her where Oz had a large piece of metal laying right on top of him with sharp piece of metal sticking right on his back.

And what scare her the most of seeing Oz like that was that he wasn't moving, She could see him moving.

"O-Oz, O-Oz a-are you o-ok?" Ashley said with a very week voice as she tried to lift up her head but failed to do it.

"Oz c-can you h-hear me?". Again Ashely tried to call out to Oz but he wouldn't answer back.

"p-please answer back" Ashley said with a week voice as she tried to crawl towards him but she was unable to do so.

So she was stuck laying where she was, and she was also starting to feel sleepy that her eyes started to feel heavy, so slowly she tried to keep her eyes open even thou she was falling asleep.

(Multiple time skip)

Before she close her eyes she could see the spaceship still on fire. And then she close her eyes and open them again to see that the spaceship was now all black and free of fire. Again she close her eyes and reopen them to see a white light in the distance follow by the noise of the metal blades cutting thru the air as it made it's way.

And right as it landed, she closer her eyes again and reopen them later on to see that she was now inside the cargo airship with a transparent mask that cover her mouth while she was laying on the ground with a futon bed below.

And she could hear faint voices but couldn't make up ho they where,

"get the bandages, ...give me the...press on the wound...he is going to be ok...just hold on girls...". That was all she could hear before she finally fell asleep and didn't end up waking up until the next day.

(end of multiple time skip)

Next day
Location: Military base of Japan, Hospital Building. Room 202-A
Time: 7:46 in the afternoon.

It's been 21 hours now since the attack of the enemy intruder that had attack them and later on cause the spaceship to go up in flames and blow up. And shortly after all of that, the assist team had came just in time to help them out right before they would have passed out from blood loss and any other worst out comes.

So after being pick up and send back to Japan, both Ashley and Oz where now in a hospital room in the military base of Japan where they where treated on there arrival.

.

"w-where am I?" Ashley ho was slowly opening her eyes said with a week and tired voice as she look around the room to see where she was. And while looking around she saw that the room was all white with items around the room that are used for hospitals.

"h-hello" Ashley said as she tried to call out to someone in the room but nobody seem to answer her.

So seeing that nobody answer back to her, she look to her sides to see if she could see anybody in the room that she was in.

So she turn to the left and then to the right and saw that she was in a room all by herself with only a lamp on that was located to her right.

So after seeing that she was all by herself and with nobody around, she decided to lay back down and think of something to keep her occupied for the time being until someone came to check up on her.

But before she could thinking of anything, a nurse came in the room holding a hologram clipboard.

"Ah I see your awake now, it's good to see that you are up now. You almost gave your dad a heart attack when he saw you coming in on a stretcher" The nurse said as she walk over to Ashely's side stood next to her left as she told her about the reaction that her dad had when she saw her condition when she was brought back.

"oh, well I hope I didn't startled him to much" Ashley said with a smile as she talk.

"well don't worry he is doing ok, after we finish check you for any signs injuries we found that you where ok with only small cuts and scraps, so he was able to relax soon after that" The nurse said as she told Ashley that her dad was doing ok with her being in the hospital with only small injuries.

"I see..." Ashley said with relief voice as she heard that she didn't cause to much trouble for her dad to have after having to be sent to the hospital to be taken care of.

"yes he was able to calm down once he heard that you where in no danger what so ever. But ...he was also worried about someone else". The nurse said with a distance voice as she look to the other way as she started to talk about someone else that her dad was worried about.

And hearing the nurse talk about her dad being worried about someone else made her curious as to know ho the nurse was talking about. But it didn't take long for her to know ho the nurse was talking about once she remember what had happen before she passed out.

"wait where's Oz?". Ashley said with a concern voice as she ask the nurse on where Oz was. Only know did she remember that Oz was with her when the spaceship ended up blowing up.

"well... unlike you he was taken to the emergency room and was left there to recover from his injuries, all of us where shocked to see that Oz was in a bad state when he was brought in by your aunt Madison and his two sisters ho where holding on to his hands when he was brought to the hospital". The nurse said as she told Ashley on how Oz was doing and what had happen when he was brought in.

And hearing that Oz was taken to the 'emergency' room, she was scare to know how badly injure Oz might be from hearing what the nurse had to say regarding about Oz.

"can I see him?, please I want to know if he is doing ok" Ashley said as she took off the cover that was on top of her and stood up from the bed and ask the nurse on where she could find Oz.

"w-wait you shouldn't be up so quick, you still need to let your body rest before you can get up". The nurse said with a worried tone as she told Ashley that she shouldn't be so active after waking up.

But Ashley wasn't going to sit back down because she was more worried about Oz's condition more than hers since she wasn't really injure but tired, so she was egger to see how Oz was doing than having to sit down and do nothing.

"please I'm fine, I am not really injure or anything so please can you tell me where I can find Oz at?". Ashley said as she told the nurse that she was ok and that she really wanted to see how Oz was doing.

"well... if you aren't feeling bad and think that you are alright, then I guess it would be ok to go and visit Oz". The nurse said while being a bit unsure about letting Ashely out of the room.

"ok then, please follow me and I will show you Oz's room". the nurse said as she turn around and left the room with Ashely following behind.

oOoOoOo

Meanwhile, in another room.

While Ashely was making her way to Oz's room.

Oz was in his hospital room resting in his bed, and he still hasn't woken up since the explosion had occur.

And while Oz was resting in his room with bandages, wires and respirator mask. Five other people where in the room that Oz was place in.

Two of them where on Oz's left side of the bed as one of them had there head resting on Oz's left side of the bed with her holding onto his left hand while she sleep in her brother's side with dried tears on her face as she sleep.

This was Ada and she has been asleep next to her brother's side since he had arrive. And next to her was Sharon ho was seated next to her sister ho was currently asleep.

And unlike Ada she was awake and, she was watching over her brother ho was still recovering from his injuries.

And on Oz's right side, three adults where seated whit worried looks on there faces as they sat on Oz's right side as they watch Oz rest in his bed.

Madison, Martin, and Susaku the president of Japan where all seated with a worried expression as they sat in there chairs.

And the atmosphere in the room was dead quiet, not a signal noise was made in the room. The only noise that was being made was the machines that where assisting Oz in his recovery.

Beep...Beep...Beep...

That was one of the noises that was heard in the room, it was Oz's heart beat that was being monitor.

And every passing second that passed by, it felt like an internity for those inside the room.

And although everything was quiet in the room, 5 hours ago before the current time, everything was a mess.

Flashback

5 Hours ago.

"Ok girls we are about to land so just hang on, we will get your brother treated as fast as we can" Madison said as she hold on to the door of the cargo plan as she told the girls that they where just about ready to land in the helicopter area of the hospital.

And said girls, Ada and Sharon where busy helping keeping there injure brother alive. Oz was suffering from some deep cuts and wounds that he got in the fight with the enemy.

So far Oz had 16 deep cuts and 5 deep wounds from a knife and 7 bruises and a broken arm and 2 broken ribs. Surly this would be just in of to label Oz as majorly injure with injuries that where already causing him pain. But if added the fact that Oz was also bleeding from his back from the piece of sharp metal that was stuck in his back that had imbedded it's self 5 inches into his back.

And when they remove the metal object from his back, it cause him to start bleeding a lot of blood that Ada, Sharon and Madison and a few of the volunteers that had went with them had a hard time keeping the wound close along with the rest of the deep wounds that he had.

And using the medical equipment that they had wasn't in of to help them out in helping Oz with his wounds.

And out of them all, Ada and Sharon where more serious in helping Oz in his wounds that they didn't even heard Madison.

But even thou they where trying to stop the bleeding from his back and from all of the other open wounds, and while trying to be as focus as they can as to help there brother, they where still scare in thinking that they wouldn't be able to help there brother from reaching death.

And Ada ho still wasn't experience to something like this, she was scare out of her mind that she wouldn't be able to save her dear brother that even thou she was trying to be as focus as she can.

She still wasn't able to act as serious and as focus as she wanted to be.

"Ada come on tried to focus, right now it's not the time to lose focus" Sharon said as she press on the open wound in Oz's left arm while a woman with brown hair and brown eyes was changing the bandages in his arm to keep it from getting an infection and to keep the bandages that where covering his wound clean.

"o-ok" Ada said as she went from doing nothing to helping out Sharon and the other volunteers in helping Oz.

Only one of the volunteers was helping them as the other three volunteers where helping with attending Ashley's small cuts and small wounds.

But after a minute or too, they finally landed on the front side of the hospital in the military and as soon as they landed on the ground, they quickly rush to get both Ashley and Oz out of the cargo plane and into the hospital so that they can be cared of.

"we need two rooms right now, and one of them has to be an emergency room" Madison said as she shouted out commands to the nurses that where sitting in the front desk of the entrance as she told them what they needed.

And quickly the nurses acted on there duties and led Madison to an emergency room with Oz, and the nurses acted as quick as they can when they saw Oz's condition.

"alright then follow us, there is an emergency room in the room up ahead of us" one of the nurses said as she lead them to one of the emergency rooms that they had available for them to use.

So they move as quickly as they could thru the hallways as they got to the emergency room that was open by one of the nurses that was walking towards them when the nurse saw them coming towards the room to the left.

So once they open the door to the room, Madison, Ada, Sharon and four nurses help in putting Oz in the bed of the emergency room.

And then that's where everything went a bit messy. Right as they stated to treat Oz from his wounds and injuries, they first had to remove the burn an broken suit that Oz had on him before they could treat his injuries.

And that took them an hour to fully remove the suit. And the reason why was because some of the parts of the suit had welded in together with other parts of the suit because of the heated temperature that the suit had to go thru when the spaceship blow up.

And once they remove the suit, the saw even more injuries that Oz had on him, mostly on his back and front side of his body.

So then they spent 20 minutes on cleaning the wounds on his back and the front of his body where the most injuries where at. And after they clean the wounds that where cover with dirt and blood, they added bandages on the clean wounds and move on to the large wound on his back where it require the most attention.

The back of his body had a deep wound where the large piece of metal had dug it's self on to Oz's back and had cause him to bleed a lot of blood.

"quick give him some more blood in his system, he is bleeding to much we need to give him more or else he will die" Madison said as she told one of the nurse to get more blood so that they can keep him alive while they treat to his wound.

"ok but we need to know what his blood type is, we can't give him a different type of blood that doesn't match his" the nurse said in worried tone as she ask Madison what blood type was Oz.

"I don't know, girls do you know what blood type your brother was?" Madison said as she ask Ada and Sharon on what blood type Oz was.

"his blood type is O positive, same as mine" Ada said as she told them what his blood type was as she help Sharon with bandaging some of the wounds that where left uncover.

"ok then, I will go and get some". the nurse ho was ask by Madison to get blood for Oz said right before she left the room and went to the room that they stored the blood.

And as soon as she left the room, the door open as soon as the nurse had left room and then two other people thru the door.

"so how are you guys doing here?" Martin said as he came in thru the door and ask how they where doing.

"well we are doing ok, but we really need to get Oz more blood in his system or else he will die, so that's why we sent the nurse that left the room to get more blood for Oz" Madison said as she and an a nurse keep Oz's back injury from bleeding any more.

Even thou they had remove the metal piece from Oz's back and clean it, it continue to bleed out blood slowly because of the deep open wound.

"I am wondering how much pain Oz had to go thru to fight off the enemy intruder" Martin said as he look a bit closer to Oz's condition on his body as he saw the amount of injuries that he had to go thru in the fight, and also from the explosion.

"so how's Ashley?, is she ok?" Martin said as he rapidly ask Madison on how his daughter was dong.

"well you won't need to worry about her, she only got some minor scratches and minor injuries. In all she is ok, all she needs is to sleep it out for a day and she will be ok. But I am more concern about Oz, he took a lot more injuries than her and he is almost near death". Madison said as she told Martin about Ashley's condition and also her concern about Oz.

"but is he going to be ok?". The president of Japan, Susaku said as he ask Madison if Oz would be able to pull thru.

"yes as long as we are able to give him some more blood to keep him alive and be able to stich the big wound in his back then yes". Madison said as she told President Susaku that Oz would be alright as long as they give him more blood in his system to keep him alive.

"I see, well I do sure hope that he can make. It would be tragic if he was to die after doing something brave and dangerous when fighting the enemy intruder" President Susaku said as he told them how it would be bad if Oz was die after doing something both brave and dangerous.

"same here, I just hope that he can hang in there a bit more. I wouldn't like to tell his friends and family that he passed away in his first mission that was dangerous to begin with" Madison said with a more worried look on her face as she continue to help treat to Oz's wounds.

"ok, I am done with the wounds on his sides, so how are we going to stich Oz's back wound?". Sharon said as she finish adding the bandages on Oz's sides and ask Madison on how they where going to stich the mid size wound on Oz's back.

"don't worry we go this, we done this before so just leave it to us", the nurse that was wrapping a bandage around Oz's head said as she told them that she and her friend could do the stitching on Oz's back wound.

"ok, then get to it" Madison said as she also finish with treating to some of Oz's wounds that where in his mid section and move to the side so that the two nurses can get to working on stitching the wound on his back.

And in just a few seconds after that, the nurse ho had left the room to get the small bags of blood that Oz needed to be keep alive. She came in the room holding four bags of blood that will be use to support Oz.

"ok I am back", the nurse said as she rush in the room and hook on of the bags on the metal stand and then added the plastic tube that would travel from the bag to Oz's wrist to give him the blood that he had lost.

So after doing that and other various things, after 20 minutes of working on treating Oz. They where able to keep Oz on the safe side and away from death's claws.

"ok I think that's all of Oz's wound that are know cover" Madison said as she swipe some sweet of her forehead and took a seat to rest from the work that she and the other where doing.

"well it might seem like that but there is something that we still have to do before we can say that we are finish". The nurse ho was standing next to Oz said as she and two other nurses started to pick up Oz slowly and carefully from his bed and onto a bed with wheels.

"wait what are you doing?", Ada said as she question the two nurses as to what they where doing with Oz.

"well even thou we cover up his wounds and added some medicine to keep him alive. We still have to check for injuries and wounds that we can't see with our eyes, so we are going to do some x-ray scans on Oz so that we can see if there any injuries that are in him that we can't see" the nurse ho was pushing that bed with wheels said as she told them as to what they plan on doing next.

"oh I almost forgot about that, well let's go and see what the x-ray can find then" Madison said as she got back up and follow the two nurses that we taking Oz to the x-ray machine in another room.

Ada and Sharon also follow along as they follow Madison from behind.

The president also follow behind them as he was interested as to see what the x-ray machine could pick up. But Martin decided to go and check up on his daughter saying that he wanted to see how she was doing.

"you guys go on ahead, I'm going to check up Ashley so I will see you guys later" Martin said as he told them on where he was going before he turn around and headed the other direction of the hallway.

"ok will se you then" Madison said as she wave goodbye to Martin as she and the girls with president and nurses went to one of the x-ray room to perform a x-ray scan on Oz's body to see if he had any inside injuries.

"I hope that Ashley is doing fine, we haven't check on her since we arrive" Sharon said as she told them her worriedness for Ashley ho they haven't yet check up on since there arrival to the infirmary/hospital.

"don't worry she ok, her injuries are on minor level compared to Oz's high injuries. That girl only needs some hours of rest before she can start walking again". Madison said as she reminded them that Ashley's condition wasn't any bad like Oz's condition where she doesn't reach the same level of high attention that Oz require.

"well I sure do hope, it wouldn't be right if we skip her and found out that she had a injury that might match Oz's injuries". Ada said as she showed her worried for Ashley.

"well I am sure that we check over her well in of to make sure that we didn't miss any important details about her that might require our immediate attention". Madison said as she continue walking in the direction of the x-ray room with nurses leading the way.

So once they arrive at the x-ray room, they move Oz on to the bed that's use to scan a patient.

So after moving Oz over to the bed, the bed that he was laying on started to move forward in to the white metal like tube that would scan him for any inside wounds.

And once he was inside the scanner, the nurses and the three girls and the president stood in another part of the room where they where separated by a glass wall with controls in the room that they where in.

So know that they where separated from the main room where the x-ray scan would start, The main nurse ho told them what they where doing to do, press the button that started the scan and step back as she and the rest watch as Oz's body was scan by the x-ray machine and then scan by the machine with a blue light that scan Oz's body from his feet to all the way to the top of his head.

And while the scans where being done, whatever the machine was scanning on Oz's body was being display on the screen that was in the room that they where occupied in.

"system done, full body scan complete"

A robotic voice in a female tone said as it told them that the scan on Oz was done.

And once it was done, the nurses started to go over the scan details that where being sent to them on the screen by the machine.

"so what did the x-ray machine pick up?, anything that we should worry about". The president said as he walk over to the two nurses that where checking thru the information of the machine, and ask if there is anything that they needed to know.

"well so far the machine found that Oz a few broken bones and nothing really that serious, but... there is something that the machine caught that we don't actually understand", the nurse said as she started to look over Oz's blood flow and other parts of his organs.

"and what might that be?, is it something life threating?" again the president ask the nurses as he ask them if what they found was something that they should be worried about.

"well what the machine found in Oz was something of a biological like substance in Oz's body that seems to be traveling in him, and I also don't know how to explain this but... it seems to be healing Oz faster than what it would take. It's not going to fast that he would be heal with in minutes or hours but in two or three days. His wounds are already starting to patch up and his broken arm and other broken bones of his body are slowly starting to be put back together".

The nurse said with a confuse and surprise voice as she saw the changes that where happing in Oz's body. She and her partner didn't know what was happing to Oz but they could only tell that it wasn't anything bad but ...good, somehow.

"so how is that even possible?, it's not like his body alone is capable of doing this on it's own, do you think that it has to do with that bio substance thing that the machine found?". Sharon said as she ask the nurse on how it's possible that Oz's injuries where being treated that quickly.

"well that's something that I am not quite sure but it could be, but we can't just jump in to conclusions and say that it could be the work of the bio chemical that's in Oz. So we are going to need some blood samples of Oz so that we can figure out what is happing in his body". the nurse said as she and her partner save all of the date that they got and send it to there clipboard by simply putting it against the screen and swiping all of the information that was on the screen to there clipboards so that they know have the information that the machine had found.

And once that was done they turn of the screen and left the small room that separated them from the actual room and then went to where Oz was laying down on the bed that scan his body when it went inside the machine, and they gently put him back on the bed with wheels and started to take him back to the emergency room where he was brought in the first time.

Flashback end

So now that all of that was done, all that was left to do was wait for Oz to get some rest and recover from his injuries.

"I am impress that he was able to make it out alive after the confrontation with the enemy and having to survive that attack and the explosion, he was almost near death from blood lost". Martin said as he sat in his chair.

"yes it is, he is very impressive for someone of his age" Madison said. "I wish we could have more people like him in our military that are capable of doing something like that".

"yes he very impressive, if only there was more like him in our military then we would be able to do more stuff than what we are able to do now", President Susaku said he told them on what they would be able to do if there was people like Oz in there military.

"sure, but our military man aren't doing anything like what Oz did to fight against the enemy, they are just basically doing labor work with the remaining countries in the world so that we can stay at least organized in this time of trouble". Madison said as she reminded Martin that there military men where just doing labor work and not actual combat.

"true but it wouldn't be bad to think if our own military men where capable of holding there ground like Oz. But besides that I hope that Oz's recovery goes well, I would like to thank him for his duty of honor for doing an important mission in helping us out in stopping the block aid and that was block by the enemy force and allowing us to continue getting supplies from the region. Now we can continue with our project with the other countries". The president said as he sighed in relief as he told Martin and Madison that now they can continue there project now that they blocked was destroyed.

"project?, what project are you guys working on Mr. President", Sharon said as she ask the president on what the project was that they where working on. And hearing that they where working on a project, Sharon ask them because she was curious as to know what they are working on.

"sorry but that's something that we can't tell you both, not unless you two are of a higher ranking like Martin and Madison". President Susaku said he told Sharon that he wasn't able to tell Sharon about the project.

"but could you at least gives us a hint as to what y'all are working on?" Sharon said.

"sorry kid I wish we could but, like the president said you guys need to be of a high rank in order to know what we are working on. But I can reassure you that it's nothing bad nor anything dangerous". Martin said.

"I see sorry for asking", Sharon said as she turn away and look back her brother ho was laying in the bed with the respirator on his mouth.

"I hope that he get's well soon, our friends would probably start wondering where we are and probably ask what happened when they see Oz come home with bandages and with crutches". Sharon said as she told them on how will there friends react when they see Oz come home injure in just a matter of a day.

"don't worry, your brother will be able to go back home with you two within two or three days, he sure is lucky to survive both the attack and his injuries from the explosion. Most soldiers ho experience this kind of things barely make it out alive, or don't make it out at all". Madison said as she tried to reassure Sharon that Oz would be ok by telling her on how lucky Oz is to still be alive.

But before Sharon could say anything from Madison reassuring words, the door to the room suddenly open to show Ashley standing by the door entrance dressed in her hospital clothing and her glasses.

And when they saw Ashley standing by the door, Martin was the first to react by quickly standing up from his chair and walking to his daughter.

"Ashley what are you doing out of your room, you should be resting and not up walking yet". Martin said as he told his daughter that she should be resting in her room.

"it's ok dad, I'm fine I am not really in any pain so I am ok. And I also came to check up on Oz". Ashley said as she told her dad that she was fine, and she told him the reason why she was here instead of resting in her room.

"so how is he?, is he ok" Ashley said as she walk in the room and ask about Oz's health as she look at him laying in the bed with the respirator on his mouth with wires that connected to his left arm that later went to the machines to his left.

"Oz is fine, he sure is a tuff guy if he was able to survive such things, he should be able to go back home with in 2 to 3 days". Martin said as he told Ashley that Oz was doing fine and when he would be release from the hospital.

"he sure is something, to be able to go toe to toe with an enemy in combat is very impressive. Most people can barely make it out alive crawling from an enemy attack". Madison said as she look at Oz as he sleep while breathing in and out quietly in a peaceful way.

"yes I was there when it happen, I watch from the side lines when Oz was fighting the enemy. He was able to go toe to toe with the enemy by fighting in the same level of the enemy in terms of speed, strength and reaction." Ashley said.

"Ashley, at the end when Oz was pin down by the enemy when Oz was holding back the knife that was aim to his neck by the enemy, you did two things that surprise me. One being that you did something brave and the other one being something totally reckless that you almost gave me a heart attack when I saw you rushing towards the back of the enemy with Oz's knife in your hand." Martin said he told his daughter on how he felt when he saw her act in the fight between Oz and the enemy.

"yeah I know Oz told me the same thing after the enemy was off of him, but dad it was only way that I could have save Oz from getting kill. If I didn't then he would have had a knife sticking thru his neck, it was either that or watch him get kill and then me being next". Ashely said with a angry/shy voice as she told her dad on why she did what she did to help Oz.

"(sigh) I know but you just have to think before you act, I mean ho knows maybe the enemy could have turn around and attack you. I am just saying that you need to be careful when you do things like that so that you don't put yourself in harm, but either way I am thankful that you where able to help Oz out. If not, then I guess we wouldn't be here watching Oz recover" Martin said as he turn to Oz ho was still asleep.

"I am also thankful, if you hadn't done anything to save my brother. Then I wouldn't know what to do anymore knowing that Oz was kill in a fight against the enemy. And it would have been really hard on Ada to hear that Oz had died, she looks up to him a lot more than I do that sometimes she tries to act the same as him in terms of attitude and strength and skills. I even caught her one time wearing his clothes when he was out training with the rest of his friends at a public gym".

Sharon said with laugh at the end when she told them the memory of when she caught Ada wearing there older brothers clothing when he was gone. And hearing the silly moment made everyone in the room laugh a bit when they where told about it.

"hehehe yeah, she looks up to him the most that sometimes I can see Oz standing where she is". Sharon said as she look to her right to see Ada still asleep with her head on Oz's left side of the bed with her hand still holding onto Oz's left hand. And with a bit of dried tears that where still on Ada's cheeks.

And when she turn to look at her sister sleeping, everybody else turn to look at Ada ho was still holding on to Oz's hand even when she was asleep. And they couldn't help but feel the amount of sadness that Ada might be feeling by seeing her brother laying in a bed with machines hook up to him to give him life support.

It sure was something that caught there eyes.

"well I am glad that she will still be able to see her big brother that she admires, so dad what's going to happen once he wakes up?". Ashely said as she ask her dad on what was to happen once Oz was to wake up.

"well that's something that me, Madison and the president will be talking to Oz about, we will be thanking him for his service and we will also be rewarding him with something that we have in stored for him". Martin said he told his daughter on what they where going to do once Oz work up from his sleep of recovery.

"and trust me, the reward that he will get for his act of service will be something that he will be able to use everyday. And it's something that nobody else can have". Martin said with a smile as he told them that the reward that Oz was going to get was going to be something that nobody else can have but those that are in the military.

And that made both Ashley and Sharon curious as to know what that would be, but they where going to have to wait and find out once Oz woke up.
