PianZoe: I FINALLY FINISHED WA3!! I can't believe it! OMG, the ending... wait, I can't give it away to people who haven't finished it! Oh, and on this fan-fic, Filgaia hasn't completely gone back to normal yet, it has in some places, but others it's still a wasteland. 'Cause I wrote that before I finished it, so, I'm now fixing it. ^_^ Oh, and this chapter seems to go quickly; I'm sorry about that, I wanted to write a long chapter, and that's all that came out of my brain. Nothing else would. This chapter is mostly SAPPINESS, so, expect it, m'kay? Ok, now, chapter 12 of DTD (Daughter of Two Drifters)!
Serap-89: dum, dum, dum, dum! ^_^
PianZoe: I finally think that I get a minute away from you, and there you are, over my shoulder, doing some kind of weird annoying... thing! You must be some kind of housefly or something.
Serap-89: you got that from my Hey Arnold! fan-fic Helga's Secret Slips *scowling deeply*
PianZoe: uh, no, I didn't. I don't own WA3 and neither will you and you NEVER will. *smirks*
Serap-89: ... *cries then runs off towards tv to play another restarted game of WA3*
Kenji looked up to the other two, who were looking down at him with worried looks. He looked back down at the note, then back up, biting his lip. "Do you think this has something to do with them disappearing?" he asked, then suddenly heard a gunshot outside. The other two rushed down the stairs to him, then the three rushed outside, to see the group of seven standing at the town's entrance. Georgia was looking frantically around, and looked like she had ripped the bandages off herself.
"Come on, Janice, I know you're around here somewhere! You have to be! You were the one delivering the note, and that was just a second ago, so you have to be somewhere near here!" they heard Georgia shout, and Shane looked to Kenji with a weird look. Kenji shrugged, and they ran up to the group of seven. Kaitlyn was obviously trying to get Georgia to calm down. Georgia looked to Kaitlyn fiercely, and she stopped trying to comfort her younger friend, looking at her with a slightly scared look.
Suddenly Georgia turned around to Kenji, Oriole and Shane, and when she did, she looked at Shane with an odd look. 'Good,' Kenji thought with a sigh, 'She's back to normal.' Shane smiled, and held his hand out to the silver haired Drifter. She took his hand, and slightly smiled, then looked at Kenji and Oriole strangely.
"Nice to meet you. You must be Georgia Enduro, right?" Shane asked, and Georgia slowly nodded her head, glancing back to the 12 year olds again. "I'm Shane Caradine, the younger brother to Gallows Caradine, who was one of your parents' teammates." he said, and Georgia's eyes widened, as she smiled.
"Really? Oh wow, you're the second person I've met that has been related to someone that was one of my parents' teammates. The other person, is Kaitlyn Winslett, who is Clive Winslett's daughter." she said, and Kaitlyn stepped up, doing a slight curtsy.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Caradine." she greeted, then turned to Georgia, tapping her on the shoulder, because she had turned to talk to Oriole's family. Georgia turned to her after nodding to Mr. and Mrs. Rhymeless, with a strange look. "Georgia, do you think that you and Annie are ready to go yet? We should probably get going so we can get to that Den place that Janice mentioned in her little note." she stated, and Georgia looked over to where Anthony had been to see that he wasn't there any more.
She held up her index finger to Kaitlyn, and said, "Just wait ONE second. I'll be right back." she ran in the direction of the Rhymeless residence, glancing every which way to see if she could find Anthony. 'Where could he have gone to and why?' she thought, then another thought struck her, her eyes widened, and she gasped. "He didn't..." she breathed, sprinting into the house. "ANTHONY, ARE YOU IN HERE!?" she exclaimed, then heard a slight crash come from upstairs. She ran up the stairs, to see Anthony on the floor with his stuff strewn all over near him. She slightly smiled, and giggled. "Are you all right?" she asked, and he sat up, grumbling about dumb bimbos, and gathering his stuff together.
"Yeah, I'm fine, but I would be better if it weren't for someone who likes to shout out and startle people when they are expecting everybody to be outside." he spat, standing up and walking past her, down the stairs. She quickly grabbed her stuff (which was the only stuff left because Kaitlyn had her's with her always and Aleksey had grabbed his and Kenji's stuff already), and followed him closely behind.
"So, you think you feel up to heading for that Den of Miasma that Janice talked about in her note?" she asked, making Anthony stop and look back at her oddly. She stopped, and blinked at him, slightly half smiling. "What?" she asked, shrugging, and Anthony sighed, shaking his head.
"You can't just 'go' to Den of Miasma. Trust me, I've been there before. You can't get there by sandcraft, you have to get there by air. And we don't have any kind of flying machine. So, unless you have a secret that you have wings and can fly, I highly doubt we're getting there." he stated, and began walking out the door again. Georgia stood there for a minute, thinking about what he had said. She bit her lip, and soon trotted up beside him, making him just sigh.
"Do you think that a dragon would help us? 'Cause, as I heard from Aleksey, there's a dragon still alive on Filgaia." she said, making him stop again and look at her. But she didn't know he had stopped, because she was looking towards the others, so when he stopped in front of her (facing her), she bumped into him, but luckily didn't knock him over. "Oof," she looked to him, to see that she was only an inch away from his face. Her eyes widened, her cheeks flushed, and she backed up, smiling apologetically. "Oops, uh, sorry Anthony... didn't realize that you'd stopped..."
"It's... uh, fine..." Anthony answered, then noticed Georgia kind of half smile, while she looked at his face. He blinked, then looked away, realizing that he had been blushing. 'Oh perfect, I can tell she saw that, now she's going to be badgering me non-stop! Why did I have to go and blush?!' he thought, then glanced back to Georgia, who was still standing there with the same look on her face. "N-now what were you talking about before? I mean, the... the dragon thing?" he asked, and Georgia nodded her head, looking towards the others.
"Remember what Aleksey said? There is still a dragon on Filgaia, but we'd have to get a sandcraft, and I know where we can get one. My mother figure, Emilia, back in Jolly Roger said that if I met 3 friends (you, Kaitlyn, and Meira, plus Aleksey and Kenji, so that qualifies as three obviously, hee, hee, hee) and if I had 15 dragon fossils that I could have one of her sandcrafts. But, the problem is, I only have two dragon fossils..." she said, looking back to Anthony, who sighed and pointed to the stuff in his hands.
"I have 10," he said, and Georgia's face brightened for a moment, but then dropped and she sighed, looking downwards. He looked directly at her, then turned around and began heading towards Kaitlyn and the others. Georgia didn't seem to notice. He didn't know what he was doing or even why, but he was going to make sure that they had at least fifteen dragon fossils. He walked up to Kaitlyn, and tapped her on the shoulder, making her look back to him with a questioning look. "Hey, do you have any dragon fossils?" he asked, and Kaitlyn raised an eyebrow at him.
"Why, Anthogny?" she asked, and Anthony just crossed his arms with a sigh.
"Because Georgia says that if we have fifteen the woman that raised her will let us have a sandcraft so we can go get a dragon so we can go to Den of Miasma. Ok? Now do you have any dragon fossils?" he asked again, and Kaitlyn nodded her head, digging around in her bag.
"I think I have... yes, here they are... I have... one... two... three... ah yes, I have four. Is that enough?" she asked, looking up at Anthony, who was thinking about how many each of them had. He half smiled, then nodded his head, and turned around to go back to Georgia, who was just then looking up from the ground.
When he walked up to her, she gave him a look that said, 'Wow, you're smiling, why?' He smiled slightly wider, making Georgia also slightly smile. This was either really bad or really good, but most likely, really good. "So, what would you do if I said that we have enough dragon fossils to get a sandcraft?" Georgia's eyes widened, and her mouth began to curl more upwards.
"You... you mean we'll be able to...?" she didn't get to finish her sentence, cause at that very moment Kaitlyn shouted for them to hurry up so they could leave. Georgia looked to Anthony, who was looking over his shoulder at the others, and she lunged forward, embracing him. "Oh, I'm so happy! We will be able to save my parents! Thank you!"
He slightly had stumbled back when she embraced him, and he was looking at her in confusion. "Thanks for what? I didn't do anything." he said, and Georgia pulled away from him, giggling. He rolled his eyes at her giggle, because that was the one thing that would get on his nerves. Or, in other words, it would make his stomach turn topsy-turvy and he didn't like that so it got on his nerves.
"Yes you did something, you made sure we had enough dragon fossils for me, you brought me inside when Janice practically killed me, you have stayed with us, and, oh, well, that's it, but I thanked you for all that." she said, patting his shoulder, and then walked past him over to the others, smiling wide. Anthony watched her, then shook his head, and followed her. When he got there, Georgia said to Mr. and Mrs. Rhymeless, "Thank you for letting us stay at your house and thank you for taking care of Anthony and I when we were unconscious. I hope we meet again soon." she then turned to the others, and motioned towards the gate. "Well, let's go get ourselves a sandcraft then a dragon!" she said, running out of the Village, followed by Anthony, Kaitlyn, and Aleksey. Kenji stayed behind, standing by Oriole.
He sighed, and looked to her, half smiling. "Well, I guess the next time I see you I'll be with my parents. It might be a while from now, or it might just be a couple days. Until then, see ya, Oriole." he said, and Oriole looked up from the ground with a slight grin. She leaned forward, gave him a quick peck on the cheek, then turned and ran towards her house. Kenji stood there with a goofy smile on his face. Then he turned around and walked out of the Village, the same goofy smile on his face.
When he got out, he saw Georgia, Kaitlyn, and Meira (I just realized that if you switch the letters around in Meira a slight bit you come up with Meria... lol ^_^) smirking at him, and Aleksey and Anthony didn't seem to have noticed. "Congratulations!" Georgia exclaimed, making Kenji blush and get up onto his horse, looking down.
* + * = **
Finally, they had arrived at Jolly Roger, where Georgia had spent her entire childhood. She smiled as she looked around the place. It hadn't changed one bit, except for how many people were there. That always changed, so it wasn't really a change, and so the town was still completely the same. They walked into the town, and Georgia headed directly for the ARMs shop. She opened the door, and walked in, up to the desk, to see Emilia sitting facing away from the door, reading some kind of book.
"Hey Emilia, I'm back! I brought five friends and sixteen - instead of fifteen - dragon fossils." she said, making Emilia drop the book she was reading and look up to Georgia, who was leaning against the counter with a smile on her face. Emilia smiled, and stood up, to hug Georgia, who hugged back then pulled away.
"So, who are your friends?" Emilia asked, looking behind Georgia to the others. Georgia moved out of the way, and motioned to Kaitlyn, who did the same slight curtsy she did for Shane.
"I'm Kaitlyn Winslett, daughter to Clive Winslett who was a teammate of her parents." she said, and then moved to the same side Georgia had moved to, and Georgia motioned to Anthony, who had been behind Kaitlyn, looking around the room. He looked to Emilia, scowling like usual.
"Anthony Bernadette." he said, then stepped to the other side, to look at some ARMs on the wall. Meira smiled at Emilia and nodded her head slightly.
"I'm Meira Schroedinger." she said, walking up to Kaitlyn and Georgia, revealing the twins behind her. Kenji and Aleksey stood next to each other, also looking around the room.
Then Kenji looked to Emilia with a smile. "And we're Kenji - that's me - and Aleksey Enduro, and Georgia's our big sister." he stated, and Emilia gasped, looking to Georgia, who shrugged and looked back to Emilia.
"Well, like I had said, we need a sandcraft, so we can rescue my parents." she stated simply, and Emilia smiled, opening a door behind the counter that Georgia had never been allowed back into.
* + * = **
The next thing they knew, they were all in the sandcraft, heading for the Dragon's Lair. Georgia studied a map, slightly frowning. She had no clue how to read a map, so she handed it to Kaitlyn, who also took a bit to study it. She squinted her eyes, then looked to Meira, who was steering the sandcraft. Kaitlyn began shouting out directions, slightly getting on the others' nerves, because if they did something even slightly wrong, she would practically scold them until they redid it.
After about ten monsters and forty minutes later, they had arrived at a large island, with a large volcano on it. They all stared up at it, with mouths ajar, and wide eyes. None of them had ever seen a volcano, not even in a book.
When they snapped out of their shock, Georgia had walked around the volcano to find a slight opening in the rock. She smiled, and motioned for the others to follow her into it. When they got in, they found that it looked like it had all been done before, and it would be easy to get through. They didn't know how wrong they were. Georgia walked over a crack, and as she did so, she heard a rumbling noise. She quickly jumped off the crack, just in time, because just after she did, extremely hot steam blew upwards right where she had been. She stood up, dusting herself off, and breathing heavily. After the steam passed, the other dashed over the crack, over to where Georgia stood, still staring at the crack.
"O-okay, so, this won't be so easy." she said, and the others agreed, then they turned and walked, going up a ladder into another area.
About an hour and a half later, the six Drifters came to the top of the volcano, to find a large blue figure sitting there facing away from them. They stood for a minute, until Georgia found her courage, and walked up to it, clearing her throat. "E-excuse me, um, hi... I was wondering if you'd help us..." she said, and the dragon turned towards her, looking down.
"And thou are?" (A/n I warn you, I CAN NOT talk like Lombardia... nope... but I'm going to try to...) The dragon boomed, and it's voice, although loud and thundering, revealed it to be female.
"I-I'm Georgia Enduro, and these are my friends. And who are you?" Georgia asked, somewhat feeling a little more relaxed around the dragon, but she had no idea why.
"I am Lombardia, and why shalt thou need my help?" (Told ya I can't talk like 'er) Lombardia asked, and Georgia slightly looked down, then back to the others, then back up to Lombardia.
"I was wondering if you could help us by flying us to this place called Den of Miasma, so we can save my parents, Virginia and Jet. Please?" she asked, and Lombardia seemed to be thinking about it. They stood there for a few seconds, and Georgia began to wonder if Lombardia had heard her.
"Virginia and Jet... Hmm, yes... Yes, I agree to thy request. Thou reminded me of thy parents." she said, and allowed for the 6 to go into her. They walked in, and as they did Kaitlyn and Meira both made a face about going inside a living thing, but then there faces went back to normal when they saw Lombardia's insides.
* + * = **
This was it. They had found it. The seven (including Lombardia) stood outside of Den of Miasma, staring at it. Anthony just walked in after a few minute of staring at the others who were staring at it, soon followed by Georgia, then Meira (I keep typing it as MERIA! Rrrrrrrr...), then Kaitlyn, and finally Aleksey and Kenji.
As they entered they heard a evil voice echo through the place, saying, "Ah, I see you've made it... quicker than expected I also see..." Georgia looked around, trying to figure out where the voice had come from.
"Come on, Janice, show yourself! Quit hiding! You're a coward, ya' know that!?" she shouted out, and got a sinister laugh as a reply. They heard a few more voices, then Janice's laugh again. Georgia's eyes widened, and she shouted out, "Mom, Dad, are you guys there??" she at first heard nothing but her own breathing, until she heard the background voices again.
"Georgia...?" she heard a woman's voice echo in a slight choked manner, and her eyes slightly brightened. "Georgia... is... is that you?" she heard the woman again, and the woman's voice sounded like she had been or was crying. Georgia slightly began breathing heavily, and looked back to the others, with a completely excited look. She looked forward, and began running.
"Yes, Mom, it's me, Georgia! Georgia Leanne Enduro, your daughter! And Kenji and Aleksey are here too! Where are you? Are you and Dad all right? Has Janice hurt you? If she has... I'll... I'll... OH, I'll hurt her very, very extremely badly!!" she shouted out, then heard Janice's horrid laugh again. She sneered, and suddenly, as she did so, she ran directly into a wall, because she hadn't been looking where she had been going. She hit it, then turned around, to see that the others had followed her, and where they had been, Janice now stood with her bayonet. She motioned to the side, and the six looked that way, to see Virginia and Jet sitting on the ground, tied up, and leaning against a wall. Georgia gasped and ran towards them. But before she got to them, Janice ran in front of her, pointing the end of her bayonet at Georgia.
Georgia scowled, balled her fists, and screamed a closed mouth scream. Janice seemed to enjoy it, because she laughed, and held her bayonet high and shot, doing a Multiblast. When the six had gotten back up, Georgia was glaring at Janice and Janice was smirking. "Don't you even remember what I said in my note? I want the pleasure of fighting you again, so I can show my REAL power, and kill you and your friends and family members, including your parents." she said, with a more sinister laugh than they had heard yet. It made Georgia shiver, and grab her ARMs, aiming directly at Janice. This reminded Virginia of how she would always take out her ARMs the same exact way and aim at whoever they would be fighting.
"Ok then, fine, but if we win you'll let my parents go and leave us alone, is that correct?" Georgia asked, and Janice nodded her head, a smirk on her face. She backed up towards the entrance of the cave, and the others also got into position. Georgia shot at Janice first, but it barely scraped her. She laughed, and Georgia bit her lip, staring down at her ARMs. 'How will we beat her if this is all the power I have?' she asked herself, looking up just in time to see Janice attack Kaitlyn with a move that first looked like it wouldn't hurt her at all, but then it made Kaitlyn have to heal herself, holding her head.
Anthony did his usual kicking around then wire fist, looking at Janice with a very angry fire in his eyes. Janice just laughed, and healed herself all the way back up, making the other six groan. Aleksey also had the Rapier Ez and Bantorain 93R that their mother had (in fact the exact ones that Virginia had used so they were actually more powerful than Georgia's), and he shot Janice, making her stumble backwards. She seemed to be having more fun now, and that made the others nervous. She aimed her bayonet up, and did another Multiblast, making all the others fall backwards. She was definitely more powerful now then last time, because now more people were healing more often.
Kenji shot at her, knocking her down for a moment, but only a very short moment. She seemed to be just a very little ticked, but then smirked, turning to Georgia. Georgia was oblivious to the smirk that showed that Janice was going to do something, so she just shot at Janice, who just stood there. Georgia bit her lip, finally noticing the smirk that didn't mean good things. Janice brought her bayonet back, and Anthony remembered this. Janice had did this move to him before, and it had almost killed him although Janice was just giving an example of how good she was. Now that she was showing them her real true power, this move was twice as deadly. And she was about to do it to Georgia. His eyes widened, and he began breathing harder. What to do? Janice was about to kill the lead bimbo, and although he strongly disliked her, when he saw Janice running towards Georgia in that position, something inside him snapped, and he ran into Georgia pushing her out of the way just as Janice had just brought her bayonet forward.
She hit him up instead just as he had pushed Georgia out of the way, but didn't really notice, until she shot him and he came back down so hard on the ground that it almost seemed to crack. Janice blinked at Anthony's unmoving form, and then smirked, looking to Georgia, who hadn't gotten up yet. "Oh how precious, Bernadette saved your life only to get himself killed." she spat, and Georgia's eyes shot open. She sat up quickly, and looked directly at Anthony, who just laid on his side, his eyes closed, his mouth open, and not breathing. Georgia's hands balled into fists, then she grabbed her ARMs out of her holsters, and did a six shot Gatling at Janice, who fell backwards onto the ground. When she stood back up, she to the others, then to Georgia, then to Jet and Virginia, and then laughed. "You may have won this fight but the battle is far from over. You hear me, Enduro? FAR FROM OVER!" she shouted as she ran out of the cave.
Aleksey and Kenji un-tied Virginia and Jet, as Georgia frantically looked through her bag for a revive fruit for Anthony. She blinked back tears when she realized she had none. She looked to Kaitlyn and Meira, who were looking through their stuff for revive fruits. Kaitlyn looked up, biting her lip, and shook her head. Georgia was beginning to shake, and was afraid that she was going to cry if Meira said she didn't have any revive fruits. Meira looked up with wide eyes, and slightly shook her head, biting her lower lip. Georgia looked down at Anthony, who was just lying there, and she slightly choked on a sob.
"Anthony, why did you do that, for me of all people... you know, the dumb bimbo that made you miserable? The one that did drastic things, like if you called us dumb bimbos, I jumped on your back... why? Why Anthony?" she asked, and at the last her voice became strained. Virginia and Jet stared at Georgia and Anthony, and Virginia looked to Jet with a slightly scared look.
"Jet, do we have anything that would help?" she asked, and Jet shook his head, continuing to stare, with a slightly worried look on his face as well. Virginia looked back, to see Georgia reach forward, grab Anthony's limp body, and embrace him, crying. Then she slowly backed away, but continued to hold him, and she stared down at his face, tears slowly tumbling down her cheeks. She then slowly bent forward, closing her eyes, and pressed her lips against his. (A/n: I WAS going to leave a cliffhanger here, but I decided against it)
She stayed like that for as long as her breath would allow, then she pulled away, wiping her tear stained face with her jacket sleeve. She still had her eyes closed, and was looking to the right of where he was. She had never really thought that one of her teammates, especially Anthony, would actually die. She felt horrible. Why did he have to go and do that? She could have always moved herself, because she had seen Janice coming at her. In fact, she had been about to move, but he had to go and push her out of the way, risking himself.
Suddenly, as she sat there, she felt Anthony's chest go up and then back down a couple times, but it was shaky. She opened her eyes, and looked to him, to see that he had a grimace on his face. She gasped, and felt her heart do a jump, beginning to beat rapidly, hoping for the best. Anthony slightly coughed once, then gasped, and Georgia could feel fresh tears coming down her face, this time from happiness. She grabbed his wrist, and felt for a pulse. There it was. He was alive after all. "Anthony!!" she exclaimed, wiping her eyes from the tears, and embracing him once again, but not quite as hard. When she let go of him, he coughed a couple times, then his eyes slowly opened. He blinked at her, his eyes squinted.
"Huh...? W... what... h... ha... hap... happened?" he asked, his voice barely over a whisper, and it was obvious that it was hard for him to talk or to breathe. Georgia held her finger up to her mouth, and made a shh noise, then she sighed.
"You pushed me out of the way of Janice, who was trying to kill me, and you came so close to dying yourself that we were all convinced you were dead. Now, shh, you need to keep from talking, because you need that air to breathe." she said, and he seemed to kind of smile, but it looked like it was hard to do anything, so all he accomplished was a small half smile. She slipped her left arm under his knees, then wrapped her right arm under his arms, making him wrap both of his arms around her neck (here's why I made her so strong), and then she lifted him up, looking down at him with a smile. "You wouldn't think a dumb bimbo like me would be able to carry you, would ya'?" she asked, and Anthony slightly half smiled.
"I... f... fee... feel... st... stu... stupid... be... because... I'm... be... being... car... carried... b... by a... y... younger... g... girl..." he said, smiling a little wider, and obviously tried to laugh, but ended up coughing instead. Georgia laughed, and began walking to the entrance of the cave, followed by the others, Kaitlyn, Meira, Kanji, and Aleksey chuckling at the sight of Georgia carrying the tall tough Anthony. Virginia and Jet were just smiling at the sight, with their arms around each other.
When they got out into the daylight, Georgia immediately said to Lombardia, "Lombardia, you know where Ballack Rise is, correct?" Anthony looked up at her strangely, and then tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention. She looked down at him, and smiled. "What is it, Anthony?" she asked, and Anthony motioned to the ground underneath them.
"You know, I... I think I can walk... and I know where Ballack rise is." he said, and Georgia just scowled at him, making him scowl back at her. they stayed scowling at each other for a few minutes, until Anthony just sighed, and rolled his eyes. "I can walk, trust me, and I know where Ballack Rise is, we can walk there." he said, and Georgia shook her head stubbornly.
"No, no, you're too injured to walk. You hear me? AND even if you know the way, we're still flying there with Lombardia." she said equally as stubborn as her look, and Anthony just growled at her. "Hey!" she exclaimed suddenly, because Anthony had began struggling to get free from her grip. He swung his legs off her arm, and onto the ground, but his arms were still held by Georgia, who was scowling big time at him. He took his arms away from her, and as he did, he realized that Georgia was right. His legs didn't support him because of his injuries, and he fell flat on his face in the dirt, making Georgia slightly giggle at him. "Oh yes, you can walk REALLY well, now I see."
At the back of the group, Virginia smiled and giggled at how Georgia had gotten Jet's sarcasm. She looked to Jet, and hugged his arm, hanging on him. "Don't those two remind you of us when we were younger?" she asked, and Jet nodded his head, watching Georgia pick Anthony back up, Anthony obviously fuming, because he had a very deep scowl on his face and his arms were crossed. He seemed like a five year old, because of his actions, and how Georgia was carrying him.
"Yeah, except you never had to carry me anywhere." Jet answered, looking to Virginia with a smirk. She rolled her eyes, then stood up taller from his arm, kissed him on the cheek, then looked back forward to see that the others were walking onto Lombardia. They followed the others onto Lombardia, and as soon as they did, Lombardia took off towards Ballack Rise.
They landed near it, and if they had walked, Georgia noticed, that it would have taken at least an hour to get there (although in the game it's not that far), and she scowled down at Anthony, who she was holding once again. "Why did you want to walk instead of ride on Lombardia?" she asked, and Anthony just shrugged, slightly smiling.
"Well, I wanted to prove that I could walk just fine - although I couldn't - and that you didn't have to go all ballistic about taking care of..." just as he was about to finish his sentence, he passed out, shocking Georgia, and she looked to the others with a panicked look.
"What happened!? Why'd he pass out!?" she asked, looking back at Anthony, who was lying limp in her arms, but luckily was still breathing, and was breathing evenly like he was asleep. He was getting heavier, because people when they're sleeping seem to be heavier than when they're awake, because they're relaxed. She fixed her grip on him, and bit her lip, looking back up at the others.
Kaitlyn walked up, then motioned for Georgia to head into the town for Anthony's sake. "I think it's because he's either really tired because of the fight, or it might be that... he might have lost a lot of blood... or... even worse... when he fell in the sand it could have gotten infected and he could have passed out from that." she said, and Georgia's eyes widened. She then ran into the town, and looked around, not seeing what she could determine was a hospital.
"Is there any hospital around here?!" she exclaimed frantically, making everybody in the whole town look towards them. Then Kaitlyn remembered something about this town, and smiled slightly, walking in front of Georgia and Anthony.
"I'm the daughter of Clive Winslett, who saved this town 19 years ago. Remember? You all took care of him when he had gotten poisoned by that stupid big flying monster, and now, I need you to take care of my friend, Anthony Bernadette, because he is either bleeding to death or has been infected by... uh, dirt." she shouted out, and some of the older people who looked around 40 or 30 or so were talking to each other, then they turned around, smiling at them.
One of them, that looked slightly younger than the rest, walked up and shook Kaitlyn's hand. "Hello, nice to meet you, Miss Winslett - you are still single, correct?" he asked, quickly covering up for his possible mistake. Kaitlyn nodded her head, half smiling, and the guy that look only about a year or two older than herself smiled, continuing to talk. "Ok, good, I mean, well, not good, but I mean, good that I didn't mess up... uh, anyway, we'll help your friend." he said, looking over to Georgia to see that she was still holding the limp Anthony. He blinked, and almost laughed, but stopped himself, and motioned for them to follow him. "Come with me... heh, heh, heh..." he chuckled, and walked towards a building.
