I find this chapter to be the turning point. A turning point which this story FINALLY gets into some form of violence.
I sound bad for admitting that.
A BLU Haired Medic - Chapter 8
Ami slowly flickered back into consciousness, her face facing down on cold concrete. Slowly getting up, Ami rubbed her eyes, her vision flickering, wondering where she was. A loud ringing noise echoed through Ami's ears, only adding to the confusion, but slowly the ringing dissipated and Ami finally was able to get a good look at her surroundings. What Ami saw completely horrified her.
Ami was in the middle of a decaying Tokyo, the buildings crumbling and even some of them were burning down. Yet it wasn't the buildings that really horrified Ami; it was the countless corpses that littered the streets, blood running down into the sewers, hundreds of bodies mutilated beyond any recognition. The darkened sky only added to the horror of the situation as Ami slowly waded her way through the bodies, trying her best to avoid being sick. Ami tried to reach for her transformation pen but realized that it wasn't on her; instead she was still wearing the Medical uniform given to her by the BLU Medic a while back.
The sounds of gun shots and explosions caused Ami to stop, her heart racing, her mind torn between running towards the sounds and running away. But before she could come to a decision, a single word echoed through the city.
"Medic!"
Ami began running towards the sounds, the cries for a Medic becoming louder along with the gun shots and explosions. Then Ami ran into the BLU Scout. The BLU Scout stared at Ami, Ami seeing that the Scout was horribly injured, the Scout clutching on to his injured arm and blood was dripping down from his forehead.
"I'm dying here, Doc! Hel-" Scout began to say before he screamed out in pain, a bullet tearing right to the side of his head, knocking his earpiece off, the Scout falling to the side, dead.
Ami turned to where the bullet came from and gasped. A RED Sniper loaded a bullet into his rifle, and then stared at Ami. The RED Sniper gave the young woman an evil grin as he aimed his rifle at her.
"Look out, Miss Mizuno!" BLU Engineered shouted, pushing the young woman behind a decaying wall, the Sniper bullet just barely striking Engineer's helmet.
"Bugger!" RED Sniper shouted as he quickly took cover to avoid an incoming rocket.
Ami once again felt the cold ground on her face, her heart still beating quickly. Breathing heavily, Ami slowly began to stand up, ready to turn to her savior when she felt the barrel of a revolver being pointed to the side of her head.
"Oh, I'm sorry…" A harsh, raspy voice said, the voice cackling for a moment, "But I'm afraid you are a bad Doctor!"
Click. Bang!
For a moment, Ami stood still, blood slowly dripping down the two holes created by the revolver bullet. Then the cold floor greeted her a third time when she no longer could keep herself standing. The blood from the bullet wounds began to stain parts of Ami's hair a dark red as her vision began fading, her breathing becoming shallow with each weakening heart beat. As she took her last breath, Ami began to hear a violin fittingly playing the funeral march, Ami's vision finally fading into darkness.
Screaming, Ami jolted upright from the couch she was on, completely startling BLU Medic, making him nearly drop his violin.
"Mein pupil, all you alright?" BLU Medic asked, Ami breathing heavily, sweat dripping down her forehead as she turned to look at BLU Medic.
"Medic-sensei..." Ami muttered, unsure if she wanted to tell her teacher of the dream she just had. "No... I'm alright..." Ami looked down, shivering, her nightmare still fresh in her mind.
Although BLU Medic could visibly see that Ami was visibly shaken, he simply nodded as he set down his violin. Ami then looked back up to the Medic, looking a bit better than before.
"How long was I out, sensei?" Ami asked, the Medic scratching his chin as he tried to remember.
"Vell... you vere unconscious through lunch time, mein pupil, I had to convince ze Soldier zat I vas simply showing you ze ropes so zat I could bring lunch down herr..." The Medic then pointed to the table next to the couch that Ami was in. A small tray with two bowls of soup was placed on top of the table. Medic then stood up and walked over to the table, grabbing both bowls and handed one of the bowls to Ami.
"Herr, mein pupil, perhaps some soup vill make you feel better..." Medic said, Ami thanking Medic before she took one of the bowls. The Medic gave Ami a warm smile before he began to eat his own soup.
Ami gave the Medic a quick glance before staring into her bowl of soup, seeing a bit of her own reflection in the liquid inside, noticing a small bandage on the side of her head.
"Vondering about ze bandage, mein pupil?" The Medic said, giving Ami a short shrug, "Vhen you passed out, you bumped your head on ze floor pretty hard... it vasn't a major injury, but zen again, you vere bleeding a bit..."
"Gomen nasai, sensei," Ami said, bowing for a second, "I didn't mean to pass out there... I just-"
The Medic raised his hand, Ami stopping what she was saying, "No, it vas my fault, Ami, I shouldn't have started off vith something so gruesome... but zon't vorry, ve will continue vith more anatomization at a later date!" Medic gave Ami a creepy smile before realizing what he had just said. "I'm sorry about zat... it iz an old habit..."
Ami nodded and then took a sip from her bowl of soup, surprised at how delicious it was. Ami took another sip, the warm liquid making her feel better before completely finishing the soup in a large third sip. The Medic then handed her a small monogram handkerchief, Ami noticing the BLU logo was embroidered on the edges. Wiping her mouth clean and then handing the handkerchief back, Ami placed the bowl back on the small tray behind her.
Ami then pointed at the violin that the Medic had set on the floor. "So, you play the violin?"
The Medic finished his soup, giving a satisfied sigh as he turned his attention to his violin. "Ja, I've been playing ze violin since I vas a child in Stuttgart..." The Medic said, the older man sighing as he remembered the times he played his violin, "I vould play ze violin in mein room vhen it vas raining outside... mein parents vould let me play mein violin for zeir guests... zey vould always give me an outstanding applause vhen I finished..."
The Medic then chuckled a bit, setting his bowl down back on the tray as he picked up his violin, giving Ami another warm smile. "So zen, Miss Mizuno, iz zere anything you have in mind zat you vant me to play?"
Ami began thinking of anything that she could request of from the Medic but only shook her head. "How about you play something from your days back in Stuttgart?"
"Ah... Stuttgart... ze times ven I vas a mere child..." The Medic said fondly, and after quickly tuning his violin, began to play a slow yet beautiful melody, the Medic closing his eyes as he let his memories guide his hands. Ami listened intently, completely transfixed at the music being played, Ami's own memories of Japan playing in her mind, in particular reminding her of the times she heard Michiru play her violin.
After playing for a few minutes, the Medic finished, giving Ami a courteous bow, Ami applauding the Medic's performance.
"Danke schön, na na, Danke schön," The Medic said, smiling as he set his violin down again, "danke schön, danke schön..."
"That was so beautiful, Medic-Sensei…" Ami said, still clapping, "I never heard anything so beautiful since…"
Ami stopped her sentence, BLU Medic raising an eyebrow, a bit curious about the sudden stop, "Since…? Since vhen, mein pupil?" The Older man said, giving Ami a strange look but later shrugged, wishing not to force an answer out of the blue haired woman. "Vell vith that done… shall ve go back to your studying in ze arts of medicine?" The Medic held out his gloved hand to Ami, helping her up.
"Hai," Ami said, nodding as her teacher smiled, laughing a bit.
"Vell, then, let us start vith… ze basics, ja?" Medic said, Ami nodding again.
No, this is not an Ami/ Medic pairing. It is simply the fact that Ami is being trained as a Medic and Medic is a Medic...
I'll shut up now. Also, I figured out how to do umlauts.
