I guess.

A/N: Well, this chapter is a split scene chapter. See what I mean by reading on. The very medical and very surprising chapter!

Chapter 8: Monster Unleashed Part 3

"I can't!" Rubyi said, shaking her head, "I won't do it!"

The red haired woman began to run, stopped by Saphfyre.

"Just because you couldn't heal one who was already--already sick, if I may say so, Miss Seles?-- it doesn't mean that you are an inexperienced doctor, Rubyi. Not get some backbone!"

Rubyi began to cry, and broke her grip from Saphfyre, "I wanted to heal somebody! I did before, but I couldn't heal somebody who let us into her home, and let us stay with her! I'm always going to regret that, Saphfyre! Always! I quit being a doctor that day! I'm NOT going to fail again!"

"RUBYI!" Saphfyre suddenly yelled, "That was your DREAM! We…we all wanted you to achieve it! You weren't the only one who cried that night; we all did! After you renounced your doctor titles, we were ashamed of ourselves, like we didn't do a good enough job for you. Rubyi, please!"

"Oh shut UP, Saphfyre!" Rubyi screamed back, "YOU were ashamed? You were the ones who cried. I kept that to myself! I cried for a week straight. Great monitoring!"

Saphfyre, for once looked truly hurt, she didn't say anything. Topazen came up and smacked Rubyi, "How dare you! How dare you! Rubyi, Saphfyre could have given us up and got a very good job! She didn't want to make you feel more depressed by telling you, a week after you couldn't save Seles! She would have had to leave, sister! She didn't! She is our family! And you don't turn your back on them!"

Seles gave Rubyi a weak smile, "Rubyi…I may hate Sheena…but if anything, I want to kill her to avenge my brother's death. You may have not been able to heal my sickness, but I let you try anyway! Want to know why, Rubyi? Because you were so small, but determined. Now, please-- never thought I'd end up saying this-- heal her."

Rubyi still seemed quite sad, but she gave in, "What do I have to do…?"

Emereld gave Rubyi a huge hug, "Oh yay, I knew you'd pull through!"

Rubyi removed herself from Saphfyre and Raine began, "I must have you make an incision right at that dimly lit spot on her arm." She pointed at a faint glow on Sheena's arm, "You have an incision knife on you, I see. There right under the part of your shirt that dips lower."

Rubyi looked surprised, along with the rest of her sisters. She gave a look at Raine, "How do you know I had a scalpel?"

"A doctor or person of any medical skill must know what available, sanitary, utilities are at hand. You didn't hide it very well. But, it's the only thing you have with you…I'm not surprised, you being a knife wielder and all. A sharp blade, hard armor, I'm surprised you don't have a stiletto in stock. (A/N: More Fire Emblem logic; stilettos are good against armor.) Now please, take it out, and carefully make your incision."

'It's…it's been so long since I operated!' thought Rubyi, sweat dripping from her brow, ' I've only dealt with a mana clot twice in my career. Dammit…what do I do? I'll just have to listen to her…"

"Now, take it out." Raine ordered, "Carefully! I've seen you take out your knife in battle. Don't be hasty."

"Don't you order me around, lady! I used to be a renowned surgeon. I'll take it out however I want!"

"My, my," Raine said, holding up her hands, "I didn't know you were so clumsy with the gift of life. With that attitude, I'm surprised you weren't sued for malpractice!"

"Hmph!" Rubyi yelled, whipping her knife out much faster than usual. Her grip slipped, and the scalpel whipped past Raine's head, and flew into the wall.

"I'VE REALLY HAD ENOUGH OF PEOPLE THROWING THINGS AT ME!" Raine yelled, remembering the time Sheena threw her katana at Raine. (A/N: See Sheena: Tales of Summoning.)

"Sorry!" Rubyi yelled, running over to the knife, a crimson color invading her face. She ran over to Sheena and made her cut, slowly. Blood slowly started to seep out. The mana clot's brightness was much more luminous.

"Hmmm…" Raine muttered, looking at Rubyi, who had rolled Sheena's sleeve up before the cut, thankfully. The Professor looked at what Rubyi had done, "You're not as bad as I thought. But still, we need a way to stop this blood."

Crimsonia pulled out a vial, I think this might work. East Tahjra is a very advanced society; we have dealt with many diseases this place has yet to see. Due to that, we have gotten many medical advances. This fluid helps decrease blood loss, but it doesn't drain all the blood out of the human body. Do not take heed in using the whole bottle, as I only have two left."

"Why'd you bring this anyway?" Topazen suddenly asked, "It does seem pretty rare."

"When I came here…" Crimsonia began, "I decided if I was to get mugged or get seriously injured, I was to use this to stop bleeding and get to the quickest doctor."

"Smart thinking." Raine said to her looking at the mana clot, "You absolutely must tell me more of the Secluded Lands!…But anyway…ah! Rubyi, you've already stopped the blood loss?"

"Yes." Rubyi said, "We were taking a bit long…"

"I'm being hypocritical." Raine said, "I apologize. If I criticize, and don't follow my own actions, I am being an idiot. Please, let us get back to the operation. Now that the blood has stopped leaving the body, we need to deal with the mana clot. Now shut up, all of you."

Everyone immediately stopped any chatter that was going on whatsoever. Raine continued to speak, "Now someone needs to cast a VERY accurate, VERY small, VERY precise Wind Blade spell, followed by a Fire Ball spell of same said description, then…then…"

"Yes!" Rubyi half-yelled.

"An…Indignation spell, followed by…a Resurrection Revitalize."

"That would cause immense strain on her body, would it not!" Dialmond yelled, "Certainly…certainly there has to another way!"

"Not anything we can do in this regard." Crimsonia flatly stated, "IT has been building up since Zelos' death, it seems. This clot seems so advanced. I will cast the Wind Blade. I have known it since I was a child It is one of my most skilled spells."

Crimsonia shot some white slashes of wind at the clot. Very small and accurate. Three small and precise fireballs hit the clot afterwards by Genis. There was then silence.

"Dammit, I need somebody to cast the spell now!" Raine yelled, making Rubyi almost drop her scalpel. Raine continued, "This is our only chance!"

Monsters then flooded in the room.

"Not now…!" Seles yelled, "Oshitm, what are you doing?" She readied her bow.

"Indignation!" Crimsonia suddenly yelled. The spell hit the clot right on, destroying it! Sheena began to shake horribly and Crimsonia turned very pale, her hand shaking as she pulled out Gilmia.

"DAMMIT ALL!" Raine screamed, piercing the monster's ears, "I CAN'T WORK LIKE THIS!" Rubyi guarded a block from a monster about to hit the Professor. Sheena made sudden gasping noises!

"Ahhhhhhh!" Crimsonia screamed, "She's losing air! Ahhhhhhh!"

"Calm, Crimsonia!" Dialmond roared, holding on to the red haired woman.

Universa leapt over, slashing a few monsters on his way to Sheena. He put his mouth on hers, breathing into it. Tears flashed over Crimsonia's eyes as she swiped at the enemies. 'Will she make it!' ran through her head. Universa's lips stayed on Sheena's; it almost looked liked Universa was being passionate about this to Crimsonia. She ignored this thought and continued.

"That's great!" Raine yelled, "Keep breathing!"

"Please!" Lapisa screamed, surprising everyone, as she hadn't said anything for a while, "O Summon Spirit of Universes, artificial respiratory works wonders! Please, all keep trying! Martel, grant us thy blessing! I did not think it would come to this! Celestial Sanctified Blessing!" Healing arts of a sacred tongue uttered through Lapisa's mouth in a sweet, beautiful song, as the enemies vanished and everyone was healed. Lapisa, unable to take the strain within this, began to cough up blood.

"Get her out of here!" Raine yelled, "Treat her immediately! Resurrection Revitalize!"

Blue wings blasted across the room, healing everyone, and destroying the clot and sealing the incision. A wave of peace flew out and created a drowsy atmosphere, but everyone was alert. The light that originated vanished as soon as it appeared. It did not seem all well…

Universa kept his lips on Sheena's. She wasn't waking up.

Dammit all, she wasn't waking up!

Universa pressed his lips harder on Sheena, giving her more air. He began to blush at the attention he was making. But he would not let her die. He grabbed her shoulders tightly.

Sheena was finally waking up.

She found somebody very handsome to her towering above.

She involuntarily returned the "kiss".

Miraculously, nobody noticed.

Except Universa.

Sheena was very embarrassed, looking away. Why did she return that! What was wrong with her? She quickly turned to the crying Professor.

"Is she going to be alright!" Dialmond burst in; she had been one of the people out helping Lapisa. Saphfyre was the other, also looking worried.

"She's…she's going to be fine!" Raine yelled happily, "Rubyi Redjewel, you were amazing!"

Rubyi was in a huge fit of tears.

"I would not say it is over yet." Kratos said, finally being noticed, as he Presea, and Genis had been quiet most of the time, "Look outside."

A standing Oshitm was seen, an amazing amount of monsters coming at him.

A/N: THAT TOOK A WHILE! R&R RIGHT NOW!
