Chapter 14: Code purple; extremely deadly venom.

A/N: What's goin' on guys, it's me again and i am back with another chapter after some serious writers block for this story, I couldn't even think of a good name (even though the name could be better, way better) for this chapter until just a few days ago, then I got stuck with what to write for the actual chapter. So this one may be a little on the short side, I wouldn't know because I'm typing this on word pad which doesn't give a word count, I have previously used microsoft word but then I became flat broke and had to go back to word pad. But enough about me let's get right into this chapter.

We open todays scene in a hospital with the group sitting in the waiting room, the only two people missing are Sapphire because she was celebrating with her family, And Emerald because he was convinced to jump off a bridge into a deep channel of water where something happened that caused Emerald to black out pretty much as soon as he got to the group. they had been waiting about an hour now until a doctor walked out of Emerald's room taking notes on his clip board.

"Doc, is he going to be okay?" Ussop questioned once the doctor arrived at the group.

"I can't say for sure until we've done some tests, but if you have any idea what may have happened I need you to tell us" the doctor responded as Zoro then explained everything the group new as the doctors eyes widened "I hope my theory is wrong, but it appears that the young man leapt into a jelly fish swarm, I just hope it's not the kind I'm thinking, otherwise it's a miracle he's still alive".

"What's the worst case scenario?" Franky questioned

"Worst case scenario is I'm right about the species being the Irukandji and he doesn't make it through the night, NURSE, RUN A BLOOD TEST FOR JELLYFISH VENOM" the doctor yelled

"What kind?"

"ANY"

-15 Mins later-

"Well, we have the results back from the lab and I'm afraid I have some bad news, we were right about the species, there is currently no known antivenom or treatment available, and the stings cover most of his body." the doctor listed.

"Whatever that species is it can't be any deadlier than a box jellyfish, right?" Vivi questioned.

"It's actually one of the most of not the most venomous jellyfish species, It's venom is far more potient than a box jelly however the box jelly fish sting kills faster" the doctor explains.

"And there's nothing you can do?" Luffy asked.

"I'm afraid..." the doctor started before he was interrupted.

"Hey doctor don't be so quick to give up" a nurse called as she approached, she wore a white nurses outfit and had purple hair and wore quite a bit of make up which caused Sanji to swoon saying he would be eternally grateful if she could save his freind. however... "Actually young man..." she started before she dug her nails into her hips causing her body to change from that of a female nuse to a rather large doctor "I AM A MAN" and let's just say that Sanji's reaction was priceless, enough said.

"Doctor Ivankov, you should know that with the extent of patient Emerald's injuries, that theres nothing we can do"

"But there is, I recently finished construction on another part of the hospital. There I can use my devil fruit powers to help him Dr Brown"

"Turning him into a girl is not helping him" the newly named doc Brown argued.

"Actually I've been working on a new technique known as healing hormone" Ivankov explained

"But will it save him?"

"It's 50/50" the purple haired doctor answered leading to deep thought by doc Brown before he released a heavy sigh.

"It's worth a shot I guess" Doc brown stated admitting defeat as Sapphire ran to the group with her parents walking close behind. "Can I help you young lady?"

"I'm looking for a freind of mine, he goes by the name Emerald, I want to see him" Sapphire explained.

"You may see him but you don't have much time, he is about to me moved to another section where he will undergo opperations that have a 50% chance of saving his live" the doctor stated pointing her to Emerald's room where she took off.

-Emerald's room, Sapphires POV-

I followed the directions that the doctor told me and once I reached my destination I was horrified with what I saw the marks from the stings were represented by deep purple pigmentation which went coiled around both of his arms and legs, his torso had somewhat of a spider web pattern and up around his shoulders was completely purple, you may be wandering how I see all this? His whole body except his unmentionables were exposed as a result of checking the extent of the damage. I couldn't help the tears that slid down my face as I watched his heart rate slowly drop, it's now at about 60bpm, I walked over to him and sat on a chair located next to his bed and watched for any signs of consiousness. I don't know why but I blame myself for what happened, I guess it's because in the past I was really the only one capable of talking him out of doing stupid things "It's my fault" I whimpered to myself as tears slid down my cheeks before the unexpected happened.

-Emerald's POV-

I didn't know where I was, everywhere around me was dark and silent, I couldn't move without experiencing some major pain either, In an attempt to find out where I was I wandered around for a bit 'Must be in my sub consious' I concluded as suddenly a flash of light appeared right in front of me revealing a mirror to the outside world, and through it I saw Sapphire approaching, I also figured that I was in a hospital but I turned my attention to Sapphire, she was looking at me and crying, I wish there was something i could do to comfort her but as i also discovered, my 'outer body' wouldn't move all I could do was watch her cry, a few minutes later after she sat down next to me I decided to move before I heard something I didn't want to hear.

"It's my fault" Sapphire whimpered as Emerald turned around to see her blaming herself for what happened and crying, I couldn't take it any more, taking a chance I leapt through the window and was blinded by another light, when I opened my eyes this time they only opened slightly, I turned to my side and saw Sapphire crying. I forced my right arm to move and wipe one of her tears away startling her as she looked to see I was awake.

-Normal POV-

"Hey...Don't blame yourself... what happened to me was a result... of my own stupidity... if... anyone's to blame... It's me" Emerald reassured weakly.

"But I..." Sapphire started before Emerald jumped in.

"What... did I... just say?" Emerald questioned "You have...nothing to... feel bad for" Emerald finished as the doctors came in and took Emerald away.

-2 minutes later-

Emerald and his couriers arrived at their destination, a room that was located behind a heavy steel door. "Now before we enter you lot need to know that all I have to do is quick and easy, but the anti bodies I inject him with will take at least three days to completely wipe out the poison, it is also an unbearably painful process which will result in constant screaming" Ivankov started explaining.

"So what happens if he stops screaming before the three days are up?" Zoro asked causing Ivankov's eyes to go downcast.

"If that happens then he didn't make it, Emerald are you sure you want to go through with this?" Ivankov asked as all she got in response was a nod

"Very well then"

-a few minutes later-

Emerald is now comfortably cuffed to a table which with the help of some mechanical engineering was in a vertical position, the extra doctors had left leaving just Emerald and Ivankov "Are you ready Emerald?" nod in response "Alright then EMPORIO, HEALING HORMONE" and with those words Ivankov dug his nails into Emerald's flesh before leaving Emerald screaming behind him and closing the door, his screams of pain could still be heard through the thick door "Now we wait"

"Are we able to stay here while we await his recovery" Ussop asked.

"Of course I have some rooms available with sound proofing so you can get a good night's sleep" Doc Brown answered.

"Come on Sapphire we're going home" her mother called.

"No mom, I'm staying by Emerald's side while he recovers, I'm not going to make the same mistake I made a few months ago" Sapphire spoke back sternly

"Very well then, I can see there's no talking you out of this, We'll check on you daily"

"Thank you" and with that everyone went on with their night, Sapphire left the door to her room open a bit, not because she was expecting guests, but because she found comfort in Emerald's screams, and knowing that he was alive. Even if the sound was annoying.

-5:25pm the next day, exactly 23 hours and 55 minutes after injection-

The group was sitting outside the heavy steel door Emerald's screams could still be heard which was both good and bad, good because they knew he was still alive, bad because it was annoying as fuck especially when you're someone trying to play flappy bird, like Ussop.

"SON OF A BITCH" the long nosed male yelled in a fit of rage as another cry of agony filled the room causing him to lose.

"You'd think you would have given up by now" Zoro remarked "You've been playing that under the same conditions for over 3 hours"

"But I was so close to completing level 1, I could practically tase it"

"Level?" Nami questioned

"Yea it's the principle of gaming, all games have different levels or stages" Ussop explained

"Flappy bird is an endless runner type game" Robin pointed out causing the males eyes to twitch before he threw his phone to the ground, finally snapping the final threshold of sanity the self proclaimed sniper had resulting in chaos in the groups waiting area wich continued for a good 5 minutes when Sapphires parents arrived for their daily check up. Once Ussop's rampage died down it felt as though something was missing. After a good minute of thinking Ivankov entered the fray with a worried/ crestfallen expression. That's when it hit them. Where were Emerald's cries of agony?

-To be continued-
