Strike Witches
The Winged Chronicles
Hope
Its been seven days since the horrible indecent with Yoshika, Griffin has been working nonstop keeping Yoshika alive and repairing her body while the rest of the girls have been rotating nonstop continuously giving their magical energy directly into Griffin keeping the healing spell up so Griffin can focus on more important matters. At 8m sharp Lynette walks into the doctor's room and pats Lucchini on the shoulder and says "your turn is up" as Lynette puts her left hand on Griffins back and activates her magic and starts to infuse it into his body. Lucchini raises both her arms stretches and in a exasperated voice says "this is harder than I thought" as she walks out the door. Griffin focusing on his work says "Good Morning" Lynette in a chipper voice replies the same greeting back.
A hour later Mio walks into Mina's office and sees her on the phone saying "Really? There almost here!" Mio confused stands there waiting for Mina to finish her conversation. Mina puts down the receiver and says "Yoshika's family is almost here" Mio's eyes widen. Ten minuets later the two are on the landing pad waiting for the plane to land. Mio facing Mina says "I wonder how they took the news?" Mina in a concerned voice says "hopefully well, I received no report of any troubles on the two." Mio nods in agreement and from the distance Mio looks and says "I see them coming" Mina prepares herself as the plan stops in front of them the doors open and two women step out and walk down the stairs. Mina stepping forward says "welcome to the 501'st base" Yoshika's mother thanks her and asks in a slight frantic voice "where is my daughter?" Mina turning her back says "this way", walking down the hall Mina says "we've been working around the clock keeping Yoshika alive, but its not been a easy battle" Yoshika's mother says "with what I heard from the soldier the her injuries are far too great for our medical capabilities, Yoshika never mentioned that you might have another Witch with healing capabilities." Mina a little hesitant says "No, we don't" both of them surprised says "But how then?" Mina continuing to move forward says "we have a Warlock who's been keeping her alive." Shocked both of them stop in the hallway and say "that's impossible!" Mina trying to keep them calm says "no, Griffin is a Warlock and has been working day and night for seven days keeping Yoshika alive."
Yoshika's mother not truly believing Mina says "let's meet this warlock then", Mina approaches a door in the medical wing and says "this is the room", as she quietly knocks and opens the door, the only sounds to escape are beeping of medical equipment and a slight clinking sound. Mina walks into the room and say "Griffin" as the three enter the room, to their amazement they see a large male figure sitting on a chair bent over a bed and Lynette with her eyes closed and her hand on his back. Lynette's tail sways back and fourth until the door opens, Lynette turns her head around and sees the group, curious Lynette asks "who are they?" as the three walk in. Mina says "their Yoshika's family", Griffin hearing this stops his work and says "Lynette you can take your hand off me" as he stands up and starts to turn around. Yoshika's mother and grandmother couldn't believe their eyes; this towering man with a black glove on his left hand was the extinct Warlock. As Griffin stands in front of the group an awkward silence falls upon the group, Lynette not sure what to do just sways her head back and forth between the two. Griffin trying to break the silence puts out his right hand and says "mam", as soon as Griffin puts his hand out and speaks Yoshika's mother bows down and interrupting him says "thank you for saving my daughter" as the grandmother also bows down. Griffin not sure what to do looks at Mina who is smirking and laughing to herself, Griffin thrown completely off bows like Yoshika's mother and says "it was my pleasure."
After introductions were done Yoshika's mother finally get a good look at her daughter, all she sees is her torso arm and face all covered in bandages. Her mother just thank full that her daughter is alive says "how did you keep her alive all this time" Griffin with a calm voice says "it wasn't easy", as his hand raises and points to Lynette, "if it wasn't for the support of all the witches on this base, your daughter would of surely of died". Shocked Yoshika's mother looks towards Lynette who has her hands clasped together standing near the door, Yoshika's mother says "what can we do to help?" Griffin looking at Yoshika says "what I need you to do is keep her alive while I rest", a little confused Griffin continues "I've been keeping her alive ever since she was attacked and I have not rested since." Shocked both Yoshika's mother and grandmother nod and says "if it will keep Yoshika alive, we'll do anything" Griffin and Lynette smile hearing the news they wanted to hear. Yoshika's mother says "first things first, what is this healing spell?" Griffin then goes into detail on how the spell works and after a detailed explanation the grandmother says "I've heard of this spell when I was young but, I never seen it in practice" as Yoshika's mother sits down in a chair she starts to cast the spell, Lynette puts her hand as well as the grandmother on Yoshika's mother's back and start to channel magical energy into her. After the spell is completed Yoshika's mother says "this spell has an insane magic requirement and" with a pause and a look of shock she says "what did you do to her internal organs?" Griffin expecting this conversation says "After the attack they were completely destroyed and I had to create artificial ones, along with vocal cords and other things" shocked Yoshika's mother says "but that's impossible, no one has that kind of technology." Griffin needing proof holds his left arm horizontal in front of his body and unzips the glove and takes it off. Shocked Yoshika's mother sees the robotic hand, Griffin says "I have the ability" as he moves the wrist, fingers and hand around. Griffin then says "excuse me" as he walks out the door, when Griffin gets behind the wall a loud thud emerges. Mina runs out into the hall seeing Griffin unconscious on the floor, Mina yells for a doctor as Barkhorn walks comes around the corner. With the help of Barkhorn throwing Griffin on her shoulder without any effort, their able to get Griffin into a bed in the room next door the doctor after a brief examination the doctor says "he's just suffering from exhaustion; he'll be fine in a few days."
Two days pass while Griffin is asleep, when Griffin awakes he sees the tiles in the roof and he knows where he is. Griffin gets out of the bed, feeling dizzy he takes his time to get on his feet. The nurse tells him to get back into bed but Griffin doesn't listen and he walks out of the room. Griffin heads to Yoshika's room and sees Yoshika's mother and Shirley both working on keeping the spell up, Shirley looks up and says "hey, glad to see your finally awake" Griffin nods and says "you need me to take over" Yoshika's mother shakes her head and says "I'm fine, you can do what you need to do." Griffin stands there thinking and he walks out the door, fifteen minutes later Griffin walks back in with a case and hits down on her right side and opens the case and continues to work.
The three rotated for the next month giving each other breaks until Griffin finished and took off the bandages. The girls watched as the bandages came off and to their amazement Yoshika's face looked almost normal aside from a scare leading from her right corner of her eye. Griffin says "with our joined healing we were able to keep scaring to a minimum, I had to recreate her right eye so I will need her input when she wakes up to set the proper settings, Yoshika's skin as fully regrown back around her body aside from her shoulder and legs." Yoshika aside from having metal around her shoulder and her legs she seemed like she was back to normal. Lynette shed a tear of joy and said "I'm so glad Yoshika isn't going to die" as the rest of the girls sighed in relief. Griffin lowers the healing spell confident that her body can now take over. With the shield gone the group now start to have hopes for Yoshika's recovery till one of the machines monitoring her heart rate starts beeping like crazy. The entire group looks in shock as Yoshika's Mother and Griffin starts to check what went wrong, Griffin confused says "this can't be her heart is slowing down at a drastic rate, how can this be?" Yoshika's mother now scared tries to do CPR to keep the blood flowing, mean while Yoshika's grandmother is in the corner thinking. After a long minuet Yoshika's grandmother yells "step aside, I know what's wrong" as she puts her hand on Yoshika's body and puts magic into it. The machine starts to slow down and the beeping stops, amazed and confused the group stares at her as she explains "Yoshika even when she was born had a talent for magic, even when she was a infant she was able to have a familiar without anyone telling her how to do it. Her must depend on magic to run its bodily functions" Mio says "Yoshika always had a strong magical energy, this might explain why she faints when she every time she extends her magic when I first met her. Her body is slowing down due to the lack of magical energy." Perrine says "what now, we now have to give her our magical energy till she wakes up?" Yoshika's mother nods and says "we have to, she cannot accept another familiar while she is unconscious" shocked the girls start to get worried. Griffin thinking comes to a realization and leaves the room without saying anything. Lynette and Barkhorn follow him asking "where are you going?" Griffin responds "to grab something that might save her life." As Griffin enters his room with the two following he reaches under his head and pulls out a large case and opens it. Lynette and Barkhorn look seeing metallic spikes and says "is that what I think it is" Griffin nods and says "yes." Barkhorn says "why do you have something like this lying around?" Griffin with a slight smirk says "it pays to be prepared."
