Chapter 3: Injured
Ernest looked behind him just in time. He was fortunate that he dodged the attack, but his left arm and leg was injured. If Ernest slowed down half a second, the attack would surely make a critical hit; right through his heart. The cockpit of Luhma Klein was covered with Ernest's blood. Yu and Gareas killed the two Victims that had hurt Ernest. The Pilots landed on G.O.A. rather than G.I.S. because if they waited and landed on G.I.S., they would be risking the chance of Ernest dying.
As soon as the Pilots landed, they quickly took Ernest into the hospital; meanwhile Tune went to find his brother, Erts. Where is Erts? Where do his lessons held? Tune thought. Tune finally found him.
"Erts!" Tune called out.
"Who are you? I'm teaching a lesson right now, so get OUT!" Azuma shouted at Tune.
"I'm the Repairer for Luhma Klein. Erts' brother was fighting with the Victims when the Victim attacked him! Ernest is in danger of losing his life, and he wants to speak to Erts! Please let him come with me!"
"Fine! Erts, get out of here right now!"
Ernest is currently in the middle of a surgery. The rest of the Pilots waited impatiently outside. Tune came back with Ernest's brother.
"Erts Virny Cocteau. You will be the backup Pilot for Luhma Klein until Ernest Cuore gets better." Teela said to the young candidate.
"Yes!" Erts saluted to Teela. "Do you know how my brother is doing?"
"Currently no. He's in the middle of a surgery right now. You will wait for him. Pilots #02, 03, 04, use this time to rest. You will need it for later battles." Teela left. Yu went to find Kazuhi, Rioroute went to rest, and Gareas went to find his repairer. Only Tune and Erts waited patiently outside the surgery room.
"Erts-kun, you should use this time and rest. You will need it. I'll tell you when Ernest comes out, ok?" Tune was worried Erts might be too tired.
"No, its ok. You should rest too, Tune-san. You used more of your energy to help brother." Tune smiled.
"You are like your brother. He always cares for other people rather than worrying about himself." Tune hugged him. "I hope Ernest-san will be fine."
3 hours later
The doctor came out and told Tune and Erts to come in to visit the patient.
"Its best to let the patient rest. He's not permanently damaged, but he will need to take around a week to fully recover."
"Thank you doctor." Tune and Erts went inside.
"Are you feeling better now, brother?"
"…Yes…I feel so tired right now. Can you let me rest? You can come back later. Sorry." Ernest fell asleep. Tune giggled, and she and Erts left the room.
"I need to inform First about Ernest. Go and rest now. You'll need it. I'll give you your uniform when I come back, alright?"
"Ok. Thanks, Tune." Tune winked.
"It's alright. So I'll see you later then."
Rio punched Gareas. "Do you know why Ernest was injured? It's because of you! If he wasn't wondering why you are so cruel to him, he won't be injured!" Rio punched him again. This time, Gareas punched back.
"Why do you care so much for him? I'm his lover, not you!"
"I'm his friend! Can't a friend care for their friends? Anyway, you and Ernest are not lovers anymore; you made the decision to split up!"
"If it's not because of you, we won't be like this!"
"How is it my fault? Blame yourself! If you hadn't been so cruel to him, Ernest won't be in the hospital for one whole week!" Rioroute punched Gareas hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. "If you want to know what happened when he was in my room, go and ask him yourself!" Rio stomped away.
"I will go there without you telling me." Gareas muttered to himself. He's going to find out the truth about what had happened.
