Legato626: Welcome to another chapter. Hoped you liked the last installment. Its reviewer appreciation week.
Chapter 4: Picking Out the Shrapnel.
Anna walked along the battle ridin streets leaning against the wall. Her wounds weren't very serious but they still slowed her down. "That bastard really tore me up." she said limping against the wall which was becoming painted with her blood. Anna was fading fast, if she didnt get to her medical supplis soon she might bleed out and die right there. "Not the worst situation i've been in but its still killing me." she said laughing slighty as she saw the tall building that he and Brian had stayed in. "Brian!" she thought. "I hope he made it out of there." she said gaining a bit more of urgency in her hobble. Anna finally made it to the top of the building and grabbed her medical supplies. She imediatly went to work stitching up her arm and leg, placing an I.V. in her veins and waiting for the mix of drugs and blood to flow into her again. Anna felt the seditives and pain killers working in her and she slowly drifted off to sleep.
Nina finally found their hideout and hurried inside with Yoshimitsu. His wounds were serious and she needed to get all the shrapnel and broken peices of armour out of his skin. "I hope your really out cold because I dont have any painkillers except this." She said unscrewing a flask she had in her pocket and pouring out vodka on the wound. Yoshimitsu didnt make a noise but he was still breathing. "Good, he's out cold. That'll make this a lot easyier." She said pulling out her combat knife. Nina un clasped his chest plate and removed the armor to reveal a muscular pale upper body. She was amazed at his shape considering his age. "I've heard rumors that your at leastfifty seven but your body suggests your not a day over twenty." she said talking to him as she started to take out the armour fragments and metal from his chest and stomach. "I wonder what you really are." she said looking up at the lifeless mask he wore. She removed the last peice of metal from his chest and put on a large bandage. She gazed down and saw his legs were also in need of medical attention. "Well at least this will answer a couple of questions." she said laughingly as she took off the leggings to his armour and seeing his shrapnel peppered legs. "Damn, this is bad." Nina said pouring more vodka over his shins. He was lucky he didnt need one of his legs amputated, the damage could have been a lot worse. He also didn't suffer any hits to his lower torso. Nina wrapped his legs and leaned back looking at her handywork. "Not to bad Williams." she said lookng at the gauss pads and bandages. Nina finally had time to look at her wounds. She had sufferd a few minor cuts and one deeper cut that se needed to stich up in her side. She took off her outer camo jacket and grabbed the sewing kit out of the medical bag. As she was stitching herself up, Yoshimitsu stirred and tried to move but Nina put a hand on his uncovered chest and pushed back down. "Your not evenclose to being recovered yet." Nina said looking down at his masked face. "Thank you.." Yoshimitsu said relaxing and sinking back to the earth to sleep off his wounds. Nina smiled at him and ran her hand over his chest. "Another time, another place, you'd be quite a catch." she said leaning back to finish her stitching.
Brians systems rebooted. His vision came back to life and adjusted to the night sky. He was still imobolized and could only really move his fingers. "What the hell happened." he thought to himself as he pumped his fingers back and forth to get blood flowing and his cicuts working again. "All i remember is that I was caught in a large explosion." he said looking ove his body to see he only had minor tissue damage all over. "At least im still in one peice." he said finally gaining some move ment in his arms. Brian lifted him self to a sitting position and saw the trench he had created from being thrown into the earth. He was suprised that anything could Blast him that far from his orginal location. "Must have been fairly close. Im just gald the damage wasnt too extensive." He said taking a large piece of sheet metal out of his side. The wound sealed up and cauterized because of the medical operations his body went through. Brian sat there for about an hour picking out fragments and healing his body. Brain finally regained motion in his legs as he felt the servos and gears clicking and whirling. He raised from his twisted metal chair and walked twords the location of where his nav point falshed. Anna was back at the hideout. "Leaving me out here, not to friendly." Brian said making a mental note to distrust her from now on. Anna was good, really good. But she lacked loyaltys and that worried Brian slightly. "I wouldnt want to have to kill such a beauty." Brian said thinking to himself. He walked into the building and jammed the trip lasers to Annas' claymore mines. Brain walked into the room to see Anna bandaged up and in only her black underware. "That ninja really did a number on you didn't he." Brian said deciding that he could trust her after all. Anna stirred but didn't wake due to the drugs. Brian just sat down on the bed and ran his hand over her face. "At least he didnt damage that beautiful face." Brian said laughingly.
