Part four yay! 3 more to go =w=

Disc: Smash Bros or related are not mine. How many times do I have to repeat that?

Yeah, I had to ask some friends if all this medical chit-chat was at least appropiate XD

"Well?" Link immediately asked to the doctor "What is it? Is he going to be ok?What's wrong with..." Marth held Link's shoulder as a sign for him to shut up.

Dr. Mario cleared up his throat and checked the papers he was holding "I can understand you are worried about your friend" he went to the end of Ike's bed and placed the papers there "We've done some different tests, the good news is that he didn't have any internal damage, his organs are fine and he's responding well to our medications"

"And the...and the bad news?" Marth stuttered to ask.

"Well, the tomography showed us a small mass near the occipital lobe..."

"The...occi... what?" Roy interrupted; he didn't have any idea at all of what the doctor was talking about.

"The back of his head" Dr. Mario answered calmly "So far now we've made some tests and in effect it's a clod. This means that there are high probabilities that your friend won't be able to see"

They went into shock. "What? But how?" Marth asked astonished.

"We believe is because of the impact he got during the accident, I would give you the explanation but I'm afraid you wouldn't understand a word of what I'm saying. You friend is scheduled for surgery in a few hours so we can take out the clot" and with that he left to attend other patients.

Roy stayed there, staring to the door with a blank expression; for the first time he couldn't find what to say; he couldn't understand a thing of what the doctor said first but the last part was as clear as water to him: his friend was in a tempting line of being blind.

Marth clutched himself and trembled a litte; he was trying to understand the information he heard. He his friend was going to be blind. He couldn't possibly imagine that. Of all people in the world. Ike was going blind.

Link managed to sit next to Ike's bed; holding his friends hand, tears started to fall from his face "This can't be happening" he whispered "You can't be going through this Ike" his hands shaking with every word "Please"

Ike woke up and saw everything white. "Where...where am I?" he asked to himself but then panicked "Am I dead?!" he stood up quickly and turned around trying to find an answer. There were no corners or shadows. Just pure white.

"You are not dead" someone said from behind Ike. He turned up but saw nobody. So who talked to him?

"Who...Who's there? Who are you?!" he yelled but his voice made an echo. Ike started to walk around the place, being extremely cautious because he couldn't see if there was a hole over the white floor.

"Hey! I'm asking you something!" he yelled again. This time he felt a gust of wind behind him.

"Relax boy I'm not going to hurt you" the voice answered again. This time Ike heard it just next to him. Then again, when he turned, he saw nobody.

"Then...do you know where I am?" Ike asked again.

"You are inside your own mind" was his reply.

Ike stood there for a few moments, he was never good at understanding metaphors or whatsoever.

"But, I...I don't get it" he said "What do you mean I'm inside my own mind?"

"I'm like your subconscious if you want to put it like that. I'm impressed you have a clean mind to be honest" the voice chuckled with that last comment.

Ike sweat dropped and blushed "You are not helping me!" he said.

"Well I can't help you really, it was just a comment" his subconscious replied "Besides, is up to you if you want to wake up"

Ike blinked. So he was either asleep or unconscious. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment; the last thing he could remember was being over the bus on his way home and...

And then he felt that annoying headache again. He opened his eyes but looked down "And then.."

"So you remember what happened?" Ike's subconscious asked.

Ike rubbed the back of his head and tried to smile "My friends are going to be mad with me for it" he tried to joke but he was more worried about them.

"Don't worry about that, you have something else to concern about" the subconscious said.

"Something else? What do you mean with that?" but at he ended the sentence something started to drag him.

"Hey! Hey! What's going on!?" Ike tried to find something to grab but there was nothing there

"You've been here a long time and your concern for your friends helped you to wake up; I hope you 'see' your friends again, bye, bye" the subconscious half joked.

Ike could feel himself being sucked up by a giant whirlpool, he was getting dizzy when it stopped.

He felt numb, his head was aching horribly and he could feel someone grabbing his hand.

"Guys!" Link suddenly called Marth and Roy when he felt Ike's hand slowly responding...

Ike knew his body was awake when the first thing he felt was an incredible pain.

His body was sore, he could barely feel his arms, his legs were aching so bad and his head felt like if someone just hit it with a baseball bat and with no helmet.

"Ike?" he heard someone calling him, but the voice sounded so distant, like if he was calling him from miles away.

He slowly opened his eyes but saw black. 'Did someone just...?' He tried to say something but his throat was sore too. And he didn't want to try getting up, he knew it would hurt more.

"Ike?" he heard his name again, this time he tried to raise his head a few inches but it felt like lifting 200 pounds.

"No, no Ike don't force yourself"

Link wiped his tears with his sleeve, his hands shaking more and still holding Ike's. Marth came to the other side of the bed and called Ike slowly. Roy was right next to him, anxious and nervous.

Ike listened to that advice and remained still.

"I..." Ike tried to speak again, he could feel his throat so sore but he wanted to know what was going on "Whe...where am..."

"Calm down Ike" Marth tried to say calmly but his voice was shaky "You... you are in the hospital"

"We are here with you Ike" Roy said, trying to sound cheerful "Link, Marth and me"

"You had an accident" Link said "But everything is going to be all right, you are going to get better"

Ike felt the grip of his hand tighten, was Link the one holding his hand?

He closed and opened his eyes again but it was still black his sight "Why...the lights are..." he slowly raised his other hand to his face and felt a cloth around his eyes. "What...what's this?"

Roy looked at Link who looked at Marth. Marth gulped; he didn't know how to say it "It's...it's ok Ike it's just that..." he paused; trying to find the ideal words "During...during the accident you uh... your head hit with... what I'm trying to say is..."

Roy fidgeted, even Marth the ice prince was nervous about this.

Ike could barely hear Marth's voice, but he heard it was not like Marth at all.

"What Marth is trying to say is..." Roy wanted to help Marth "That the doctors bandaged your eyes be...because they weren't sure of how you..." he looked at Marth but he was speechless.

"They are not sure of how you ended inside the bus" Link said "They think you might had complications"

Ike was forcing his mind to pay attention to all the things they were saying but it was too much and he was getting headaches again.

Just at that moment a nurse entered the room. "We're going to take him now for surgery preparations"

'Surgery?' Ike heard that perfectly. His body trembled and Link felt it.

"Calm down Ike, everything is going to be ok" Link could feel more tears forming when Ike's head shook slowly.

"N...no" Ike said "Ple...please no" he didn't want to be asleep again. He didn't want to get any part of his body open!

"Ike we are going to be waiting for you, you are going to be ok" Roy said but Ike didn't want to go.

"No please no" Ike said this time a little louder; he wanted to get up and walk away but he couldn't move his limbs and every single movement felt like a thousand needles piercing him.

Marth couldn't stand it anymore. "Ike please it's for your own good. You are going to enter and you are going to get out"

They couldn't say more because a doctor and some nurses entered and translated him.

As Ike was taken away from the room the 3 that were left behind couldn't feel anything more than fear.

Fear that their friend would stay blind. Fear that Ike's state was so fragile.

But most of all... fear of losing their friend.

Is it just me or things are getting...odd?
