"Junjie! NO!"
I felt my throat shake as I screamed, like a Speedstinger Slug continuously ricocheting off two pieces of metal. I turned to face Ember but he was gone. I focused my attention on my love, who was staring at his hands in disbelief. "Oh, man, you're hurt bad." I touched his forehead. It was sticky. I pulled my hand away. Blood. Then I noticed the mecha on his leg. "Leggy, Jaws, Glacier, I need your help!"
A Frostcrawler, Makobreaker, and an Arachnet popped their heads out of my backpack. Leggy jumped into a slug tube and I fired him. He attached a web from the busted mecha to a stalactite on the cavern ceiling. Then I shot Glacier. He froze the stalactite to make it brittle. Then I shot Jaws. He smashed the stalactite right off the ceiling of the cavern. The web hung over a rock formation and began to lift the broken mecha beast, revealing Junjie's badly broken leg.
"Alright, I have to cauterize the wounds. Flare, you're up!" A Flaringo poked her head out of a slug tube. "Sorry, Junjie. This is gonna hurt." The Flaringo began to burn all of the small wounds shut, but she stopped when she got to the big gash on Junjie's leg. He moaned in agony. Flare cocked her head in thought. Then she hopped over to Joo-Joo. After some chirping and squeaking, they hopped back over to Joo-Joo's injured slinger.
After a quick nod, both slugs breathed fire on the large wound. It was sealed shut.
I pulled out a first-aid kit. I took out a splint and some bandages. I put the splint on Junjie's leg and started wrapping it. He started fidgeting. "Don't move or you're gonna make it worse." I warned. He nodded and slumped. Now, how am I gonna get him home?
