Scar looked down at the now unconscious and bleeding Xelqua in his arms.

'Scar, we need to get Xyrex out of here.' Xisuma murmured through their parabatai's link

'If we move him now, he'll bleed out before we even get back through the portal.' Scar snared back, as he examined Xelqua's wound more closely. Xisuma only nodded at his parabatai, noticing his anger.

Xisuma then motioned to Tango, "Tango? Can you pass me a piece of cloth." Tango did as he asked, as Xisuma knelt beside Scar. Who slowly removed the angel's blood ridden shirt trying not to injure the blonde more than he already was. Xisuma grabbed the piece of clean cloth, placed it on his stomach wound and began cleaning the nearby area.

Xelqua's parabatai runes' colour began to flicker causing both Scar and Xisuma to freeze, stopping their movements momentarily before letting out a sharp gasp.

Scar grabbed some of the water that the group had brought with them and began to clear out some of the dirt in the wound. Pouring the liquid sparingly over the wound. Xelqua's whole body started twitching as the liquid hit the area. Scar used another cloth and made a small tourniquet to stop the bleeding and cover the wound.

"He should be moveable enough at least for portal travel for now, we should get him to Joe or Doc's to stitch up these wounds." Scar said cautiously as he picked Xelqua up in his arms.

~~One hour later~~

~~~Overworld - Doc's base~~~

"Scar! Holy shit What the fuck happened to you guys?" Doc asked with concern, lacing his voice as we walked through his nether portal. Scar walked into the creeper hybrid's base, the others were behind, carrying the now still unconscious Xelqua in his arms.

"We need your help but we have no time to explain what's happening." Xisuma said urgently.

"Xel needs his shoulder popped back into place, his stomach needs to be stitched and ankle somewhat stabilised. We'll worry about his wing once he's more conscious just as a precaution'' Scar quickly added, "Doc you are one of the best healers on the server, We need your help."

Doc nodded, quickly guiding Xelqua to a bed, noticing that the angel was bleeding out heavily in his friend's arms. Scar then noticed that Xelqua was starting to stir in his arms as he placed him on the bed. Doc noticed it also as he walked over to the side of the bed.

"Xelqua? Can you hear me.." Doc asked him softly, noticing he was stirring.

"Doc-c?" Xelqua mumbled.

"Xy.. this will hurt a lot." Wanting to warn the now semi conscious angel about the incoming pain.

"I've been put through hell in Edom before. This isn't really much-h." Xelqua somehow muttered hitching the last word as Doc popped his shoulder back into its place.

"Scar, I could use your help with this one." Doc said as the said angel moved to Xelqua's right side. "What do you need me to do?"

"Hold him down" was the hybrid man's only reply. Scar held Xelqua's arms down, watching as Xelqua winced everytime Doc made a stitch. The brunettes locked eyes with Xelqua as he squeezed on his shoulder. Xelqua's golden energy flowed through the room in response to the sensation. Xelqua gave his parabatai a slight smile just as Doc finished the stitches.

Xelqua blacked out straight after. For nearly an hour the room stood still until the procedure finished then Doc started working on putting his ankle back in place.

"Parabatai?" Xelqua called out quietly as he opened his eyes which were less brighter than usual, something that he knew his parabatai instantly took note of.

"We're here Xy, right here." Scar said, squeezing his hand, the blonde nodded, squeezing back.

"What did I miss?" Xelqua asked before he started coughing, crimson blood dripped down the side of his face. Doc put pressure on his ankle pushing it to the right putting the bone in place making Xelqua abruptly yell in pain.

"By the fucking angel. Screw You Doc"

"You'll be thanking me later Bane"

"We're discussing what to do about the demons. You gave us a heart attack back there Xelqua" Xisuma said, relief was clear in his eyes.

"I was worried there too, for a minute there" the angel admitted his voice was deathly quiet and hoarse before he hissed "Fuck-k. Xisuma, get every hermit to meet me at my base in the jungle."

"Bane, there is no way you-??" Xisuma started.

Xelqua just glared at him, cutting him off as his eyes glowed a brighter blue, His parabatai rune glowed harshly, "Xisuma, I'll be fine. Besides, I can still fight.. We need to warn the other Hermits they could be in danger. Asmodeus and his people are going to invade our world any minute now"

"As much as I don't want to admit it. He's right. It is too much of a risk not to warn them." Scar piped in.

"Which base?" Tango agreeing with Xelqua as Xisuma glared at both his parabatai before sighing in agreement.

"Mansion," Xelqua said as he stumbled, placing his hand on the nearby bed putting pressure off his ankle slightly as he stood up. His hands glowed gold as he forces himself to hover mid air and shakily float towards the window.

"Bane, I'm taking you there."

"Scar, you don't ne-"

"Don't please, don't you dare argue with me."

"I'm no-"

'You aren't flying, you almost died.' Scar snapped through the link

"I.. alright." Xelqua mumbled softly

Scar reached his arm around Xelqua and nodded to Xisuma as he uncurled his wings as the pair flew out of the room unsteadily, knowing it would be a bad idea for Xyrex to be flying especially on his own.

Xelqua was about to open his wings forcing them to go to their fullest.

"Xyrex.. don't. Move your wings please." Scar whispered, Xelqua just let out a sigh as he took the weight off his wings letting himself lean further into Scar if he wanted to.

The blonde's left wing was still twisted slightly, not as bad as it had been earlier but it was still dangerous to be flown with. Scar held Xelqua stabilised in the air, knowing that in this state he should be resting and healing, not flying. How he was staying awake was beyond Scar.

Xelqua let out a sigh and slightly curled his wings. I could tell Xelqua was using a lot of his energy to even stay awake with his injuries; it should be near impossible.

"Fuck.." Xelqua screamed as his body convulsed, almost giving out from underneath him and eyes dimmed in colour.

"Xyrex! You okay?" Scar grumbles

"I'm fine. Everything is tired, that's all, my body is starting to run out of adrenaline. We're almost to the mansion, I just gotta hold out a little longer until we land at least. I can retrace an iratze to numb the rest of the wounds." He replied seeing many other hermits fly into his mansion.

"Xyrex, promise me you will be careful, do nothing stupid this time."

"I promise my parabatai, I promise not this time… Hey Scar?"

"Yeah,"

"Do you remember when I first told you about Magnus?"

"Yeah, it was the same day Xiao first mentioned Edom to me and Xisuma."

"You instantly flinched at the name of the realm, and kept muttering Magnus' name over and over."

"When you asked who he was after the meeting, all I said was that I didn't know."

"Xy , why bring up Magnus now.."

"Asmodeus mentioned him, Scar."

"Xyrex.. I-"

"I froze when Asmodeus said his name Scar, it was like I was back there again."

"Look at me, Xelqua.. You will be alone in Diyu ever again I promise."

"Not even you can promise me that my parabatai. The hermits are there already, I sense the wards around the mansion going off."

Scar only nodded in response as he and Xelqua flew in silence as they neared the blonde's mansion.
