Chapter 6:
Aizen woke up in one of the hospital beds at the healer building in Varrock.
Aizen tried to sit up but had a sharp pain where the stab happened and had to lay back down.
"Oh good, you are up." Zangei said.
"Zangei?" Aizen asked.
"You have been out for three days. I decided to let the others rest and come here to see if you'll wake up, sure enough, you did." Zangei said.
"I feel like shit." Aizen said.
"They have some magic spell on your back and chest where her blade stabbed through you." Zangei said.
"I take it my bones are healed too?" Aizen asked.
"They are regenerating but slowly." Zangei said.
"Where is Jessica?" Aizen asked.
"She never slept until today. She just kept staying here all day and all night." Zangei said.
"She shouldn't get overstressed or-" Aizen began to say.
"She's pregnant. She told all of us." Zangei said.
"Stupid boy!" Norman shouted walking in with Beverly.
"Now Norman don't be rude." Beverly say.
Beverly put down a pot of flowers beside Aizen with a smile.
"Stupid boy shouldn't have got into this situation!" Norman said.
"Nice to see you too Norman." Aizen said sarcastically.
Norman walked up and patted Aizen's head.
"You may be a stupid boy but you are our stupid boy." Norman said patting his head.
Aizen slightly smirked.
"Oh good Aizen you are awake!" Sasori said walking in with Gin.
"Gin, Sasori." Aizen said.
"If you died I would be king." Gin said grinning.
"Should have killed me in my sleep." Aizen said shaking his hand and then Sasori's.
"We gave Jessica a sedation pill in her drink." Sasori said.
"I'm fine with it." Aizen said.
"Girl loves you." Zangei said.
"I know." Aizen told them.
"Lord Aizen." Tousen said waving at the doorway.
"Tousen." Aizen said.
"Falador is-" Tousen began to say.
"How are you?" Aizen asked.
"Oh uh, I'm doing okay sir. You?" Tousen asked.
"Fine. Alright, gentlemen how about you carry on your day. I will be fine here." Aizen said.
"I will be outside." Gin said.
"No, you will go do something. I will be fine don't worry." Aizen said shooing them.
They shrugged and gave a wave walking out.
"Has anyone found the blacksmith yet?" Zangei asked Gin.
"No one has." Tousen said.
"Makes you wonder what happened to him." Gin said.
Aizen sighed and closed his eyes again.
Aizen opened his eyes hours later and seen Jessica sitting beside him reading.
Aizen looked at her with a smile before she glanced and turned her head with a smile.
"I'll be careful." Jessica said wrapping her arms around him kissing him.
Aizen kissed her back and pushed his nose up to hers.
"I'm pregnant." She told him.
"I know." Aizen said.
"I was too nervous to tell you since you were so busy taking over." Jessica said.
"Hey, how about we talk about this when I'm better okay? I just want to hold you for a bit." Aizen said.
Jessica nodded and kept hugging him for as long as she could until the nurse came in to give Aizen his next treatment.
Jessica gave a wave and walked out with a smile.
"Girlfriend?" Nurse asked.
"Yeah, and soon to be the mother of my kid." Aizen said.
"Well congrats. Alright, let's get started, got to re-apply more potion and let one of our healers put some healing magic over your wounds." The Nurse said.
Aizen nodded and closed his eyes.
Aizen opened his eyes later and it was night, the curtains shut and candlelight out.
"Great, slept now its night." Aizen said.
"Perhaps a good book then." The Plague Doctor said stepping out of the darkness.
"I nearly got startled until I saw that stupid beak of your mask come out first." Aizen said.
The lamp next to Aizen's bed was turned on and the Plague Doctor stared down at him.
"Come to cure me?" Aizen asked.
"In fact I am." The Plague Doctor said setting down a bottle of medicine.
"Before you ask it isn't poisoned and if you throw it away so be it, you'll heal up slower." The Plague Doctor said.
Aizen in front of him took one of the pills but the Plague Doctor didn't seem to care one way or another.
"So you are a father." The Plague Doctor said.
"Word must be spreading." Aizen said.
"That Kisame fellow sure loves to run his mouth all over the streets." The Plague Doctor said.
"Of course he does..." Aizen groaned.
"I must say you have done what no one has done. Take over the vast lands." The Plague Doctor said.
"I met Karura." Aizen said.
"Did you now? Then you know what wall you must face to climb over, or smash down." The Plague Doctor said.
"Karura has a strange personality." Aizen said.
"She always has. A more sarcastic overconfident one who cares nothing but for herself." The Plague Doctor said.
"So why are you here other than to check up on me and give me these pills." Aizen asked.
"To tell you that I found the cure. A map to a place within the Elves domain, a forgotten valley that holds the ancient steampunk machine known as, Alexander." The Plague Doctor said.
"Never heard of it." Aizen said.
"It's been abandoned for ten years now. The area was left alone after the Sullustans failed to reprogram the ancient machine and nearly lost their lives to its ancient traps within." The Plague Doctor said.
"And how is this machine going to make a cure?" Aizen asked shaking his head.
"It houses something that was thought to be just a story. It seems for fifty years there has been a sphere inside, a sphere of power that can grant anyone their hearts desire. Three wishes. Two are used and you are still alive. The third wish you die and cannot make a wish for more wishes. Strange yes? But true from what the log of the book I read said. It says a sphere of power is housed within, forgotten about by many. How it got inside is unknown." The Plague Doctor said.
"How big is this sphere?" Aizen asked.
"It didn't say. I would ask for you to join me but it seems you aren't capable of moving any time soon." The Plague Doctor said.
"So going to beat me to it?" Aizen asked.
"Sadly even I cannot be as sneaky as to enter the Elves lands. Even near the machine, it is watched over by the scouts of the Elf city." The Plague Doctor said.
"So you need me to get well and pretty much take down the Elves?" Aizen asked.
"Not directly asking but since you suggested it then perhaps. However, you and I know who won't let you." The Plague Doctor said.
"Karura?" Aizen asked.
"Your girlfriend. She might want you to just stay within the borders you have created and forget about conquest. I heard her speaking about mothership and she doesn't know if she can handle it. My suggestion to you is to put the kid up for adoption. Focus on what you are destined to do by ruling." The Plague Doctor said.
"I don't know if-" Aizen began to say.
"Or does that mean I win?" The Plague Doctor asked.
There was a minute-long pause.
"I will see what I can do but it will take time." Aizen said.
"Karura gave you a year, I will give you a year from now. It's mid-October." The Plague Doctor said.
"And what am I suppose to do? Stay here in Varrock for a year?" Aizen asked.
"I'll give you a suggestion. The Fremannik Isle's could be taken. Also, Draynor Village is the only place within the borders of Varrock that you haven't taken over." The Plague Doctor said.
"The Isle's I could possibly do but Draynor probably won't accept it and it isn't much for me to take from there anyways." Aizen said.
"Still a thought." The Plague Doctor said and headed to the door.
"You know we might have to see who the strongest of us is." Aizen said.
The Plague Doctor looked at the door.
"Let's hope you realize you're doomed even if you don't try. I am the only cure to save this planet, and that must mean to purge what illness threatens it." The Plague Doctor said.
The Plague Doctor walked out shutting the door but left Aizen a book, a book of Alexander in the Elf lands.
Aizen sighed and opened it and started to read.
The Plague Doctor walked away from the facility as it was pouring down rain.
Jessica was watching from a distance but then noticed Karura in a cowl walking toward him.
The two of them looked at each other with the Plague Doctor just walking around her.
Karura had a smirk on her face and walked to the airship tower while the Plague Doctor stopped walking and turned around.
"You are brave to be here." The Plague Doctor said.
"You are stupid to be here." Karura said.
"I was just leaving." The Plague Doctor said turning around and walking away, disappearing in the darkness.
Karura just smirked and walked into the airship tower and headed up to an airship headed toward Seers Village.
Jessica pondered about what was going on until being interrupted by Gin and Tousen.
"Ready to head back to the castle?" Tousen asked.
"Yes." Jessica said walking with them back.
"Don't worry we will help out with the baby." Gin said.
"Thank you, thank you both." Jessica said.
"It's no problem at all." Tousen said.
"I know one thing, the last three regions will be heavily secure." Gin said.
"Especially the Elf Region." Tousen said.
"At least we got one another and our soldiers." Jessica said.
"Yeah, I guess." Gin said.
"Deidara get back here!" Kisame shouted chasing Deidara.
"Help he's going to kill me!" Deidara yelled running up a wall and onto a roof.
"Get down here! You put female hormone pills in my food you little shit!" Kisame yelled.
"I'll put a laxative in next!" Deidara yelled.
"Come on let's go save the idiot." Tousen said with a sigh.
A day later at Ardougne.
"Karura." Nihl said.
Karura and Aldsan were sitting at a park table with some other person next to Aldsan.
"Yes?" Karura asked sipping her tapioca.
"May I ask the real reason you gave Aizen a year to think on this?" Nihl asked.
"Oh, that was a lie. We can prepare our forces through our territory for a war in a year." Karura said.
"But what about him and that girl having a kid?" Aldsan asked.
"What about it?" Karura asked cocking an eyebrow.
"I see, so you tricked him." Nihl said.
"And that will gain us an upper hand. I care not if he takes the Fremannik Isles but I do know he can't take the Elves land like I couldn't without making a bigger problem for ourselves." Karura said.
"Why are the Elves so dangerous?" Aldsan asked.
"It isn't that they pose a danger, it's because they have a huge upper hand with their rune connection with spells and fighting within their ancestorial bloodline. The only way we can take that over is if we rule all of what Aizen has. When he comes in a year, our forces will be prepared and once he is dead, we take over all that he owns. Then we send all soldiers and civilians to rush the Elves land and then I shall be the planetary ruler." Karura said with a smirk on her face.
"Brilliant." Nihl said.
"Indeed." Aldsan said taking a sip of her drink.
"So now we prepare and then after we win, we shall soon rule." Karura said with a peal of forboding laughter.
