The Doctor's

Chapter 3
"Before you torture me anymore," Meta Knight stated, "would you please take a look at my-"
"Hold that thought," Yabui interrupted, looking at his watch, "It should be working by now."
"What should be working?" the knight asked as the doctor ran to the corner of the room to get something.
Suddenly, he threw something that looked like a giant vest at him. Meta Knight went to catch it, but got squashed underneath it.
"What the heck's in this thing, lead?" he gasped as he tried to sit up.
"Actually yes," Yabui stated.
The knight fell back on the bed when the doctor accidentally hit him in the head with what looked like some kind of giant scope. Yabui winched in sympathetic pain, then grabbed Sword and Blade and ran out the door. Outside the room, there was a switch on the wall. Yabui flipped it as the two knights looked at each other and shrugged. Then Yabui ran back inside and looked at a large monitor on the wall. Sword and Blade took the vest off their lord and moved the scope out of the way.
"What was that about?" Meta Knight asked.
"Ah, it developed quicker than I thought," Yabui exclaimed happily.
Meta Knight's subordinates looked at him. He silently gestured his head to go over and see what's going on. They went to the doctor's side and looked up at the screen.
"Hey cool, it's an x-ray shot," Blade explained.
"Which organ is that? The one that's glowing," Sword asked pointing.
"Oh, that's his liver," Yabui pointed out.
"That's not normal," Meta Knight concluded, wide-eyed.
"That's freaky," Blade added, "it's like neon green."
"Why is my liver glowing?" Meta Knight asked loudly.
"I got it to work!" Yabui exclaimed happily, "I just had it installed a few days ago too."
"Would someone please tell me…," Meta Knight paused for a second then shouted, "What did you do to my drink?"
"Wait, you're certified to take X-rays?" Sword asked.
"That's right," Yabui replied.
Meta Knight jumped up and grabbed the doctor's collar.
"Start explaining you quack!" Meta Knight shouted.
"Well now," Yabui replied, pushing up his glasses, "I simply put a little barium in your water so your organs would show up in the x-ray."
Meta Knight stared at him disbelievingly then shouted, "That's radioactive!"
"No need to fuss, the barium will harmlessly pass through your system, but your stool might glow a bit. Care to send back a sample?"
"No, I'm not sending you a sample!"
Just then, the pain in Meta Knight's side began to act up again. He let go of the doctor as Sword and Blade raced over to help him back onto the bed. Yabui calmly fixed his collar then snapped his fingers.
"Almost forgot to check your lungs," he said.
He pulled the Stethoscope hanging around his neck up to his ears and walked up to Meta Knight. He began placing the end at different places while the knight was breathing deeply. What he didn't notice was the knight was deep breathing to retain his anger. Sword and Blade looked at him with concern.
Blade leaned closer to Sword and muttered, "I'm a little worried about him."
"Yabui is just checking his lungs," Sword replied quietly.
"No, I'm worried Meta Knight might go berserk on him."
"Oh, good point."
"All done," the doctor informed.
He walked back to his desk to record his findings.
"Uh, my lord, are you going to be alright?" Blade asked.
"Yeah, I'm good," Meta Knight replied through gritted teeth.
Yabui went to the sink and began washing his hands.
"Sword, Blade," the doctor informed, "I'm going to have to ask you two to step outside for a minute."
They quickly looked at each other.
"They're not going anywhere without me," Meta Knight argued with his arms crossed.
Suddenly, he heard the door slam. He looked over to see an empty spot where his subordinates once were.
"Guys?"
"Alright, Meta Knight," Yabui said, drying off his hands, "I need you to stand in the middle of the room please."
The knight sighed and got off the bed slowly as to not upset his pain again.
"Now, you see that poster on the wall there?" the doctor asked, taking something from a box.
Meta Knight looked up to see a poster with letters on it, the same kind used at an eye doctor's office.
"Yeah," he replied, as if to ask 'so?'
"I need you to read the lowest line you can see on that poster," he replied, stretching the object from the box to a glove.
"My eyesight is fine doc," Meta Knight argued.
"Just making sure," Yabui said, snapping the glove on his hand.
The knight sighed and began to read, "P, N, L, Z, Q-"
He winched and his eyes grew wide.
Sword and Blade covered their ears when a scream escaped the room.
"Stop struggling," they heard the doctor say, "I'll only be a second."
Meta Knight continued to cry short yelps of discomfort.
"Wow, a surprise physical," Sword said.
"That's rough," Blade replied sympathetically.
"AH, it's cold!" Meta Knight exclaimed.
