Chapter 7: A New Life

Static flew through the air with Serena in his arms, Gear not too far behind and raced to the hospital... He'd been able to stop the bleeding, but she was still unfortunately at deaths door, her pale complexion and blue lips a clear sign that she was dying... Static flew through the city, unaware that Shiv and Talon were getting ready to rob someone down below when they spotted him. Talon grabbed Shiv with her feet as she flew up into the air preparing to attack when she saw the woman in his arms...

As if reading her mind, Static spoke...

"I'm not looking for a fight... This girl is dying, she needs help... " Static said in a shaky voice.

He clearly wasn't used to such brutal wounds...

"What happened to her?!" Shiv asked, visibly upset over seeing such a pretty girl so severely injured...

"I don't know much about it... She arrived this evening with a lady named Ms. Seilia and suddenly started bleeding... It looked like someone took a sword to her abdomen... Her wounds didn't heal right and now the damage is very bad... It will take her a long time to recover this time... If she lives... " Static said gravely.

Shiv and Talon both went pale... Instead of letting him by, Talon and Shiv led the way down the fastest route to Dakota Union Hospital and even cleared the way as Static rushed the girl inside...

Meanwhile, back at the hide out, Hotstreak and Ebon were watching TV when suddenly Hotstreak doubled over in pain... It suddenly felt as if he'd been stabbed!

" Hey Hotstreak, you OK man?!" Ebon asked worriedly.

" I... I'm not sure... It feels like I've been stabbed..." Hotstreak said.

Then suddenly, once again his eyes glowed silver and he began to see flashes of the woman again... Serena... She was standing before a cruel evil looking woman who laughed as she asked her a question... The woman just laughed another evil laugh and Hotstreak finally heard her speak.

" Choose Serena... Who will die? You?!" the woman passed her hand over an empty space and four beautiful female warriors speared, " Or your friends! It's your choice little Serena... "

"No!" Serena cried, " Please! Kill me instead! But... Release Darian... Please... After I die... Release your hold on his soul... "

" Darian. " The woman crooned sweetly.

The man who had some kind of armor on came forward and with one quick blow, stabbed Serena in the stomach with his sword...

" No!" Hotstreak cried out as a blinding white light flashed and Ebon came into view with a worried look on his face...

"Hotstreak! Yo man, are you OK?! Your eyes turned silver!" Ebon said worriedly staring at Hotstreak.

" That wasn't what I normally see... " Hotstreak said shaking...

Suddenly, Hotstreak got another vision... Serena bleeding badly, her face pale and her lips pale blue... She was dying!

" No... No!" Hotstreak said smashing his fist into the wall repeatedly, " She's dying in a hospital somewhere and I don't know where!"

Hotstreak began pounding the wall of the compound repeatedly with both fists until both were a bloody mess, and still continued to pound...

" Hotstreak! " Ebon said worriedly grabbing him, " What's wrong man?! Who's dying?!"

"Serena... She's dying! She's dying!" Hotstreak cried sinking to the floor...

Everything suddenly went silent as the reality sank in... Serena was dead...

Meanwhile at Dakota Union Hospital, Serena was fighting for her life, little did anyone know, that the sword that Serena had been stabbed with had the energy sucking powers of the negaverse and anyone who got cut with it was a target for the negaverse. The sword drawing out the energy of its victims and condemning them to a slow and painful death... Shiv and Talon watched helplessly as the doctors tried to make the girl stable, but every ounce of blood they gave her didn't seem to help her weakened state...

Static looked at Ms. Seilia and noticed that she was rubbing between her fingers, finding it very strange, Static walked over to her.

"What are you doing? " Static asked.

" I'm using my aura and energy to charge this crystal... Someone has cast a deadly dark curse on Serena, they've injected her with poisonous negative energy and it's draining her life... This crystal is full of good positive energy... It should break the curse and draw the poisonous negative energy out of her... " Ms. Seilia said positively, " Then she should be able to heal properly... "

Static never believed in superstition or curses, but seeing the determined look on Ms. Seilia's face he simply nodded.

" What do I need to do... " Static asked.

" I need you to place your hands on the crystal with me and think of everything good that's happened for you, anything that makes you happy... Pour your love and friendship into the crystal and use your powers on it as well... Together, we should be able to get rid of the negative energy that's poisoning her body... " Ms. Seilia said.

Queen Beryl laughed as she watched from her throne room in the nega verse...

"What fools, nothing can save you now princess!" Queen Beryl cackled...

But she was wrong. Back at Dakota Union Hospital, dispite the doctors orders of no admittance to anyone other then the nurses and staff, Static and Ms. Seilia rushed into the room, followed by Gear and placed the crystal on Serena's middle over the gash, then both laid they're hands on her over the crystal and concentrated... Dr. Moore rolled his eyes and went up behind the two... He would put a stop to this superstitious nonsense once and for all...

"Alright you two, enough of this... The girl is beyond help now... Just leave her be... Her suffering will be over soon... " Dr. Moore said gravely.

Dr. Moore started to lay a hand on Statics shoulder to try and urge him to leave the girl when a blinding light engulfed the three and threw Dr. Moore backwards! He watched in awe as the light engulfed Serena's body and worked it's way into her wound! Her body arched violently for a few moments before the light rose up from her body, taking with it, a dark shadow like creature with blood red eyes and what looked like fangs! Static was quick to take action and blasted the shadow with a powerful blast of lightning... The shadow creature let out a hideous beastly shriek of agony before disintegrating into nothingness... Static stared at Serena with his mouth open in fear and horror. When finally found his voice, he only spoke five words...

" What the hell was that?!" Static cried in shock...

Suddenly, the color came back into the girls cheeks and she opened her eyes...

" Wha... What happened?! " Serena asked.

" Apparently you were stabbed before you came here... Do you not remember anything?! What's your name? " Static asked kindly.

"Serena... " Serena said still very weak.

'It... It can't be!' Static thought to himself in shock, ' Hotstreak's visions! They are going to come true!'

"Ms. Seilia... Can we please go to your house now? I'm so tired... " Serena said weakly.
