Thinking quick on her feet, Acapella instructed the Warp Stream to travel to the MIB Headquarters. She recalled how well the medical team there took care of Gamma during his time of need. She was also unaware of any other alien medical facilities in the first place...

Upon arrival, it was blatantly obvious that the branch of government was overwhelmed!

Phones rang!

Cells were filled to capacity with various dangerous alien pests!

The massive crowd Acapella had brought in was largely ignored by Human and Alien employees alike! They were all running about in a panic- papers in hand!

Slightly shocked, the Yellow Pearl took charge again, and informed the aliens to follow her to the "sick ward".

The medical facility's chairs were already all occupied. One human seemed unconscious with a horseshoe-like crab plastered onto his face. Another human child was desperately attempting to prevent herself from becoming hysterical. An unbreakable box had been connected to her leg. Apparently, this was to prevent her own foot from eating her. The foot had been asleep before growing eyeballs and a set of arms which included two knifes. The resulting Parasyte was hacking away at the box incredibly frustrated, as the little girl howled in fear! There was another man who had suffered major bites on his side from...something. The doctors seemed to be running about in complete anarchy- similar to the rest of the building. Acapella forcefully approached the flustered secretary before explaining the situation. The woman probably only heard half of what the Gem had said, between answering the phone, and writing things madly on her notepad.

Finally, the lady glanced up, and saw the two unconscious, burnt, Keronians- as well as the remainder of the crowd. "I'm sorry it's so hectic today. We're having to prioritize patents by the severity of their wounds...if you could just have a seat..."

The group ended up sitting on the floor. Gamma cursed to the heavens as he attempted to talk to his two parents- hoping the duo could hear him: "Mom...Dad...it will be ok! You'll see! They'll make you better, and then you can stay at our house! You guys will be able to to teach Toaster all sorts of stuff! Like...how to make a space omelette...or play sports! She'll LOVE that!" Gamma began to cry with grief as he continued to talk to his lifeless kin.

The man with the horseshoe crab on his face went in first for major surgery. Gamma's parents were admitted secondly- seeing the duo was SO ill that they were completely unresponsive. Gamma attempted to follow as his parents were wheeled away on stretchers, but the medical team was insistent that the frog stay in the waiting room. The facility was already too crowded to allow visitors.

Cursing and praying under his breath the frog sat back on the floor.

The little girl with the Parasyte in her foot went next.

A nurse came out to survey the large crowd of aliens with char and burn marks all over. "I'm not going to lie to you guys. At this point, we don't have enough time or room to tend to all of your burn wounds. I would HIGHLY suggest to try regular remedies until the wounds heal. You'll all be sitting in this waiting room for DAYS otherwise..."

"Wha-what about Nibbles? Her leg is broken..." Acapella held up the adorable little Cabbit whom was crying in grief and pain!

The woman sighed. "Nibbles is a PET. Dominant alien species take priority in these situations. I'm sorry." The doctor looked incredibly sad as the little animal wailed in the most heartbreaking way possible!

Acapella "humphed" in frustration! She internally wondered if she could pass the creature off as a rare Earth rabbit, and bring her into the ASPCA for treatment...

A majority of the massive group of aliens began to leave the waiting room, and thanked the Pearl and Keronian for saving them as they walked by.

With the crowd dispersed, Gamma piped up again: "Acapella...I need you and Nibbles to go home and keep Toaster company. Reassure her, and make sure she's safe. I'm...I'm going to stay here with my parents. Tell Toaster I decided to spend the night at their house...or something."

Acapella was going to rebuttal at this request, but simply nodded as she saw the grief on her friend's face.

The Pearl headed back to the nearest Warp Pad- Cabbit crying in toe, as she glanced at all the chaos around her.

Who was doing this? Why? The Yellow Gem wondered about the future of this planet. It seemed like all order here was being torn apart by the seams...

This chapter is a bit shorter...I hope you guys don't mind!
