"Crap." Dr. Kadowaki muttered, as she reached for the dropped surgical implement. She recovered it with shaky hands. She had just been briefed on Squall's condition only half an hour ago. She was ready, and pondered whether or not Squall would get there in time.
" Hurry up people, GOGOGO!" Zell yelled as several SeeDs rolled down Ragnarok's landing ramp, Squall's body immobilized and on a gurney. The tattooed warrior watched as his friend was rushed to the hospital ward. "Hyne help him."
"Holy…" Dr. Kadowaki's eyes scanned over Squall's twisted body, amazed and horrified by what she saw. The nurses moved Squall's body to the operating table. Kadowaki shook herself, coming out of her slight shock.
"Let's get to work."
6 hours later
Dr. Kadowaki emerged from the operating room, sweat beading on her brow form 6 hours in that stuffy room. James, Ellone and the others rushed to meet her, pouring out questions.
"Is he alive?"
"Will he make it?"
"Is he awake?"
"Does he still have all his limbs?"
"Does he have everything important?"
"Will he fight in the tournament?"
Kadowaki looked at them all, overwhelmed by their sudden questions. She sat down on one of the nearby Garden benches. The friends rushed her again.
"Well!!" the seven voices thundered.
The doctor caught her breath, slightly stunned. "Well, in order, yes, yes, no, yes, if you want to, yes and yes." She smiled. "As for me, I'm going to take a nap. Oh, and whatever you do, DON'T wake him up! It took half my supply of sleep powder to keep him sedated, and it isn't in the budget to import more." She turned and walked off.
The others ran to Squall.
"Look at him…"
"God that must of hurt."
"Oh, look at that one!"
"Oh, ewe!!"
"Hey look at his right arm, it got freaking ripped up!"
"Hey, I have an idea, let's-"
Interrupting that particular thought, Squall uttered a low moan of pain. He fluttered his eyes, stung by the room's bright light. He tried to look around, but quickly realized he had been immobilized. However, he could see the others. Selphie was about three inches away from his face, Irvine right next to her. Zell was poking Squall's arm, unaware that his victim was awake. Rinoa was standing by the door, staring at the floor, James sat at the end of the room, staring at Squall.
Squall spoke. "Where… are we?"
Selphie answered him, surprisingly sober. "Garden. Infirmary." Silence. "We picked you up from the island yesterday. You were completely mangled."
Squall closed his eyes, he remembered a dragon, and falling, but not much more. He once again scanned the room. "Where's Quistis?"
They all looked at each other, silent.
Squall's eyes widened. "Where is she?"
James finally answered, sullenly. "She's canceling your entry in the tournament. A Class A will go in your place."
Silence.
"Hell. No."
At that, everyone in the roomed froze. Even Zell stopped his poking.
Rinoa finally spoke, her angry face masking the care in her voice. "Squall, be serious."
Look whose talking, he thought.
"You can't move, you're lacerated in 29 places, and the opening ball is in one month. You don't have a chance. Not a chance." she backed off.
The room was silent. Zell resumed his poking . Selphie and Irvine were talking quietly, looking at Squall, then Rinoa. Irvine had a look of surprise about his face. Rinoa and the others just stood there.
"I'll be ready by the end of tomorrow. Lay out some clothes for me. My dorm key is in my office. I'll expect the clothes in the mourning." With that he closed his eyes and slept.
Rinoa was about to speak, but James silenced her.
As they left, James muttered. "As you wish."
Squall awoke.
Checking the clock, he noticed it was midnight. He closed his eyes and concentrated.
"Shiva."
The GF came almost instantly. She wore a worried expression. She was the only one who knew the true extent of his wounds. She knew why she had been called.
"You know this is permanent. It might not even work, she said."
"Anything for the pursuit of power.
"Then let us begin."
Squall blacked out.
Well, here it is. next chappie will come soon
