Chapter 12: Magician's Acknowledgment
"I do not know what is happening. But this feeling is not part of the pregnancy," said Magician. Harpuia started to worry. Leviathan also worries too and picked her up.
"Come on I take you to the medical ward," said Leviathan. Harpuia followed Leviathan. Rose was tending the people and most already was at release. Rose looks at Leviathan and Harpuia.
"Rose is there room for one more," said Leviathan. Rose looks at a bed available and looks at Leviathan.
"We have few vacant beds why," asked Rose. Leviathan set down Magician as she is starting to sweat.
"Oh dear lord. What happened?" asked Rose. Magician looks at Rose as she does not know.
"I do not know. All of a sudden I can't move. I feel pain all over. I know that it is not part of the pregnancy I am going through," said Magician. Rose did a quick scan of the infant and on Magician.
"You're baby is fine. So that is good news. Luckily for that. But the pain is on the nerves of your hips. You have some type of metal hitting there," said Rose as she reveals her pants and coat that has a whole.
"You were fighting a mechanaloid. So expect something flying after you destroyed it," said Rose.
"Yeah I know that but I did not thought it flew to my nerve," said Magician. Rose sighs.
"It is a good thing you are still in your first trimester and not in the second trimester," said Rose, "Just need to pull it out and there you are going to be fine. Just need rest. And healthy diet for you and your child."
"Thanks Rose," said Magician. Harpuia looks at Magician and Leviathan looks at her as well.
"May I ask you a question," said Harpuia. Magician has a feeling what type of question this is.
"Sure," said Magician as she was hoping it was not the pregnancy and fighting question.
"How come you willing to fight even though you will jeopardize not only your life but the life of your unborn child," said Harpuia in a harsh tone.
"I know what I am doing and I know the risks. However, I do need to do one thing and it will be worse than me being out there fighting a mechanaloid," said Magician in an anger tone.
"What is worse than being out there getting injured?" asked Harpuia as he raise his voice.
"It is not only my life I am worried about. It is my friends and family who will be in the crossfire. If I did not went to find Grey out there, who knows what someone will do. I have seen already too many reploids confused and destroyed. I am not willing to take the risk of Grey having to follow my ancestor Master Albert's footsteps," said Magician as she raise it even higher. Magician now has the sad look in her face.
"Sorry I lost my temper," said Magician. Harpuia looks at Magician and sighs as he did not like the idea.
"If you care for people that even ask you to risk not your life but others as well, I would have other people to back you up," said Harpuia.
"I wasn't alone. Laura, Girouette, and Fate were with me," said Magician, "Fate was next to me when the mechanaloid exploded." Fate walks in and hears the conversation between Harpuia and Magician.
"It was lucky that Laura and Girouette only came out with nothing. Though I got to take it the biometals did save their true skins from being ripped apart as it exploded," said Fate.
"What about you? You must have some of the debris as pieces flies," said Harpuia. Fate sighs.
"Most of it hits my heavy armor. I tried to protect Magician from most of the hits from the mechanaloid explosion. Though I did noticed that Grey was hit as well. He isn't wearing any armor," said Fate.
"He is a stubborn reploid. My family does warn me that he will not get himself repaired unless he is almost dead or there is no mission," said Magician.
"Well there has been no missions for a long while. Reaper may be out but he is in idle. It is like him. Strike when people least expected," said Fate.
"Do not judge what the enemy has. If you are not prepared then we won't have the upper hand," said Harpuia.
"I am not judging. I know from experience. My brother has proven that over the years. What he is planning? I do not know. It is a constant battle knowing what he is going to do and what will kill him. My brother is unpredictable and willing to strike any time from morning, noon, night. He has no time limit and he will gather what he need. If you are also thinking that he will fight alone guess again. He builds mechanaloids for a long time. There will be a lot of them and also he might use forgotten souls on people so he can have them fight for him. So those factors we have to put in. And just to let you know forgotten soul magic works on reploids as well as humans. It also have the impact of them fighting when their real self is confused," said Fate.
"You may know what he is planning but do you know when he will strike," said Harpuia to Fate.
"You are talking to a fortune teller here. I know what he is planning and when he strikes is when a human male and a reploid female will find me fighting with my brother. I will die. I know that Reaper will find me first. He tends to anyways," said Fate.
"You mean you have foresaw your own death?" asked Leviathan. Fate sighs as she looks at her.
"I can't read my own but I am not the only fortune teller here. My sister Destiny is one as well. She foresaw my death. That is the flaw of us fortune tellers. We may tell people their fortune but in the back end we cannot see ours. As for my death, I know it will happen. If I am going to be resurrected, I do not know. It is not in my hands after that," said Fate.
"Well that is horrible. So you know when your brother is going to strike but in the downfall, you will be caught in it," said Leviathan.
"I know about this and try to avoid it. However, I know it will be unavoidable," said Fate.
"Ouch. I hate to be in your shoes," said Leviathan. Harpuia stand there silent. Magician looks at Harpuia.
"Harpuia, do not worry about me. I can take care of myself. I am ok. There is more things to worry about," said Magician.
"Just be careful next time," said Harpuia as he left the room. Leviathan did not notice when Harpuia left the room. Magician sighs.
"So you and your sister care to do reading at anyone?" asked Leviathan. Fate knows where this is going.
"Anyone that asks. We do not do anything forcefully," said Fate. Leviathan looks at Fate.
"Can you read mine?" asked Leviathan. Fate sighs as she looks at the door. Leviathan looks at Fate confused.
"Follow me then," said Fate as she start to leave the room. Leviathan follows Fate and Magician is left alone.
"Well peace is what I needed right now. Though I know what to name you if you are a boy or girl. You are my little Angel.," Magician thought. Magician sighs as she is now thinking of Omega. Magician sighs as she felt huge pain. Rose hold a piece of the metal that hits her.
"See now it is out. All we need is to patch up and you may leave," said Rose. Magician sighs.
"Thanks Rose," said Magician. Rose has a warm smile on her face as she knows it is her job.
"No problem. I am glad that you and the others are not hurt as bad from that explosion," said Rose.
"Yeah do not remind me though," said Magician. Rose looks at Magician and smiles.
"Ok well I am just going to finish you and then you can leave. The other people already left and now you are my focus. Luckily for you the piece of metal wasn't near an artery or vein or you will be in trouble," said Rose.
"Thanks for the out put," said Magician as she started to feel the warm where her wound was and find out that it looks good as new.
"There all set. Though you should avoid walking right now since you will be famished real quick," said Rose. She left to the mess hall. Magician sighs as she is alone. Just then Omega came in with Grey who is more bad shape.
"Grey what happened?" asked Magician. Grey did not answer. Omega looks at Magician.
"He collapsed near the mess hall. I found all his wounds still open but hidden. He must not want to be here," said Omega.
"He is stubborn that is all," said Magician. Omega find the closest bed for Grey and set him there.
"At least he is found and now can be healed," said Omega. Magician was about to get up. Omega finished putting Grey in the bed as he looks at Magician.
"So are you here because you were injured?" asked Omega. Magician stand up and fall. Omega catch Magician before she hits the ground.
"Careful now. You are still not well. If you were out there taking the blow from the explosion of that Mechanaloid then you must have a piece stuck on you," said Omega.
"The piece that got stuck is out and now I am ok," said Magician as she started to turn red. Omega looks at Magician as she had wet the floor with urine.
"I go get a mop and clean the mess. I think it is wise to stay here for a moment," said Omega as he cleans the urine mess. After the mess is cleaned out and the floor looks ok, Omega put the mop away. Rose steps in with the food.
"Ok Magician, I have a plate of food," said Rose as she saw Omega in the room. Omega looks at Rose.
"I see. You were just talking am I correct," said Rose to Omega. Rose knows about those two are lovers and try to respect their wishes.
"We finish talking. I just have to be back with a set of new clothes for Magician," said Omega as he left. Rose smiles at Magician.
"He seems to care for you," said Rose. Magician looks at Rose and wonder what makes her say that.
"What do you mean?" asked Magician. Rose puts the food down next to Magician as she looks at her.
"I can see a couple and how much one care for the other. Some couples are so peaceful to see while others are not. Though it looks like no matter what you do. He wants to make sure you are taken care of. Not everyone has those types of people around," said Rose.
"I guess so," said Magician, "Oh you have another patient that just arrive with Omega. Though he is more critical than me." Rose looks around and fair enough she found Grey with wounds that are heavy and he is intensely damage.
"I take it he was with you when that mechanaloid exploded," said Rose. Magician nodded. Rose pulled all the metal pieces that stuck Grey's sub armor. When she is done she heals him and sighs.
"He is done now. Just we have to wait until he is waking up. He is still out so there is no point transferring anyone out," said Rose.
"Thanks Rose," said Magician. Rose looks at the metal that she pulled out of Grey and the piece that hits Magician.
"Both of you should be careful. Especially you since you are carrying a child and you are human," said Rose.
"Thanks for the warning. I already have a lecture from Harpuia today I do not need another one from you Rose," said Magician.
"Ok well I will be around and fixing gray hair guy here," said Rose. Magician looks at Rose.
"His name is Grey. He is a reploid that is built by Master Albert when Master Albert is still alive," said Magician. Rose look at him in shock.
"Well I did not think that a reploid exist here. Well I will keep a watch over him," said Rose.
