I did promise that Chapter 4 would be up soon. Glad the last chapter was well received, so here comes another instalment of Drake's epic tale. Enjoy, and don't forget to R&R!

THE TRANSFUSION
"There is nothing we can do, Kura'Tha."
"What?" Scarface was clearly angered toward the Elder before him. "This ship is almost filled with Medicomps…"
"Yes, but Medicomps are only designed to heal Yautja. Human biology is radically different."
"It could still…"
"And the boy has lost too much blood. A Medicomp cannot replenish lost blood, Kura'Tha."
"There has to be something we can do."
"The Medicomp could repair the damage caused by the weapon…but that still leaves the problem of all the blood he lost."
"What about a transfusion?"
"From whom? There is nowhere near enough time to get him to a hospital."
Scarface hesitated. "What about me?"
The Elder was taken aback. "What…Kura'Tha…that is insane!"
"Could it work?"
"…We have no way of knowing. Even if it did, there is no telling what could happen."
"But it could work. Yautja DNA is genetically superior to that of a human."
"Exactly. We need to consider the consequences, Kura'Tha. If we introduced Yautja DNA into his system. "
"Either that, or we allow Drake to die."
"Kura'Tha…do you understand the risks?"
"Yes. I do. But there is no other option. This is his only chance."
"…Very well. We will use your blood."

Scarface watched in silence as the bright green blood spiralled through the tube, into Drake's chest.
The Elder stood there, watching the machinery as the boy laid on the table, unconscious.
"Let us pray that this works. Kura'Tha…"
Yeah, that was a short chapter, I know. But the next one will be longer…and more interesting. There's a big twist coming to the story.
