Chapter 5 Martial law and final straw


Crack*
Stars filled Mary's eyes as as she crumpled on a heap on the ground, blood filled the gas mask as she coughed barely managing to roll over on her side
"GET BACK NOW!" Jay shouted dealing the final blow to the pair of nematodes
Luisa quickly Dove to protect Mary from the oncoming blast as the smell of raw sewage and burning flesh permeated the air


"Mary? MARY?? oh my God... not again please God no" Luisa sobbed carrying her limp form out of the arena and onto a hospital bed
"MOVE" Xu yelled "i i C-c-can fix he-r MOVE" she repeated shoving jay out of the way
"Uh God complex? she ain't breathing no more... and er Fuckin neck is split up" Curry said in feeble attempts to choke back tears
"G-G- GET THE HELL OUT IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HELP" fujima replied throwing an empty bed pan at the door, Luisa quickly shut it behind them
"fine! I'll keep watch or SOMETHING" falling to the floor burying his head in his hands "not like she wasn't my friend too or anything... wtf do I care!?" he's a lot better late tossing is a rifle aside


~somewhere~
far beyond the consequences of time but not to far from the noises of war, Mary sat peacefully in the old neighborhood staring blankly at the memorial Hall
"Kiara...Damon ... Katrina...Kyohei..." she whispered under her breath remembering the Lost teammates and began marching toward two golden gates with the sweet smell of spring in the air and soothing sound of cicadas
"Nooot yet" Kiara said "Whoa mama! hahahaha it ain't your time yet hun" Damon laughed placing a transparent hand on her shoulder
wha? mary thought
"Wellllll it would seem with all the injuries y'all sustained miss Xu kongs surgical skills have come in useful lately!" Katrina said elbow and kyohei in the "ribs"
Mary wenced slightly remembering she no longer had any of her own... unless?
"Yeep and I'll bet hq's experiments with alien flesh and rations came in handy" he replied in a dull tone of voice "I wrote the meal plan after all...aaanyway let's see if this works... come on come on people I want to go back to sleep" Kyohei said snappily ushering everyone around Mary Yáng
one by one they place their hand on her head and said in unison
"it's time to go HOME"


gasping for air as if for the first time in her life Yang Drew air into her lungs much to the shock of the two women and Jay looking up startled with bloodshot puffy eyes
"MARRRRRY Y-Y-Your alive!?" Xu stuttered lightly hugging her
I'm... alive... how?
"Holy Sh*it, what the f* is in those IV drips??" Jay said putting down the satellite phone
"Thank you THANK YOU!!" Redonden tossing her hands into the air grinning into the sunrise

the next couple days passed by in a haze as Mary got some much-needed sleep, memories of the other place Quickly slipping from memory... who were the people she met? why couldn't she remember them?
Xu dismissed much of this due to the trauma of injuries
"F-f-four broken ribs" Xu said fussing over the bed pillows "Y-you only had 6 liters of blood left!"
"not to mention fractured skull, punctured lung, broken pelvis, we couldn't even find your left fo-"
"Okay OKAY EVERYBODY i remember...kinda..." Mary said cutting Jay off "how long until marshall get here anyway spaz?? need help carrying your ass" she replied snappily
"oOoOO someone needs morphine! hit er Fuji san" Xu somewhat shakily injected a dose to prevent her from mauling Curry, the inexplicable recovery was clearly visible in the fury of her eyes
"About a day or so by the way! N00b haha Gniiiight" ruffling Mary's hair lightly he strode from the room meeting Luisas gase and murmured "for serious what in the goddamn is in those Drtrips??" both of them giggled a bit And Luisa said "tonight is a celebration! biscuits and gravy!! Ill bring you a plate later mar" everyone cheered on the way to the kitchen celebrating the arrival of a new teammate and perfect recovery of an old one!
