"Kami…" Leo prayed. He then looked to see Tara and gasped.
Her skin was turning green too. "I don't feel…too good…" she said before she collapsed.
"Tara-san!"
"Tara!" Melissa and Stephanie rushed over to their fallen friend.
Craig said, "We need to get them to a hospital!"
"Right!" Kat took out her phone and dialed 911. When she placed it to her ear she saw that her brother's stance was shaky. His skin was also…No!
It was green.
"Onee…chan…" he whispered before he collapsed as well.
"O-otouto-chan?" Kat screamed, horrified, "OTOUTO-CHAN!"
Takada was done with his shift. He didn't have any customers plus it was starting to get dark. When he was driving back he saw a purple falling star. "Are falling stars supposed to be purple?" he wondered. Following his instincts he followed after it.
He pulled up in front of a condemned building. Deciding to not take any chances, he transformed. "Henshin!"
"CHANGE BYAKKO!"
Now clad in his armor, Pluto drew out his gun and cautiously entered the building. There were nothing but a few rats and roaches hanging around and the vermin watched as walked by. Pluto despised rats for a good reason too for they were disease infested vermin but there was another reason which will be explored in the future.
He then saw something by a few boxes. He slowly walked over and saw movement. His grip on his gun tightened and he was ready for anything.
He then pushed the boxes away and his eyes widened under his helmet. There, lying unconscious before him, was a girl!
Episode 26: Antidote
Kat had called the Titans and in her frantic state they knew it had to be an emergency.
(Jump City General Hospital)
The hospital was brand new. Not only did it treat normal humans but on occasion it would treat aliens and meta-humans since the Titans weren't all normal humans to be precise. Only one of them was perfectly normal while others were either genetically altered, born half-breeds, half machine or even extra-terrestrial. The hospital's staff, doctors and nurses alike, had been trained perfectly to handle any type of patients.
Kat was outside of the ER where the her brother had been wheeled into upon a medical gurney. She was stricken with worry and grief. Craig was with her, lending emotional support. Tears were forming in her eyes.
"Otouto-chan…" she whispered, worried beyond all reason. Due to the psychic link she had with her brother she could feel his pain and added to her own right now it was nearly unbearable. She hugged Craig, resting her forehead on her chest.
"Kat, don't worry," Craig reassured her, "The doctors are doing all they can. Your brother is going to be just fine." Craig hated lying to her but what else could he say to the grief stricken girl he was holding. One of the victims of the Centipede Beast Spirit's poison was her own twin brother for Christ's sakes.
The Titans arrived and when they say the state Kat was in they knew something horrible had happened. The way she looked and behaved right now was the same as how Leo had reacted to when she was hurt. This was not good.
Kat, seeing the Titans, pulled away from Craig and wiped away her tears. She was a mess. Her eyes were watery and she looked really pale. "You finally came," she said, voice still cracking.
"You said it was an emergency, what happened?" Robin asked. He then saw Craig and, "Um…"
"He knows about me," Kat told Robin. "I'll explain later. And to answer your question I'd have to start from the beginning." Kat told them about the field trip into the cave and then about how the Beast Spirit suddenly began attacking. Finally, she told them of the victims, two of them especially.
Leo and Tara.
"Tara's in there too?" Beast Boy exclaimed, hysterically.
Jinx's eyes widened and then she stomped over to Kat and grabbed her by the collar. "What the hell were you doing?" Jinx yelled angrily in Kat's face and the Advent Knight of Suzaku turned her head away in shame. Jinx's eyes were watering with tears. "Were you just standing around while that happened? Didn't you even help him? Don't you even care?" Kat's head whirled around and she glared at the hex caster.
"How dare you say that?" Kat shouted, startling Jinx. Tears were flowing from her eyes. "He's my brother, of course I care! Do you have any idea what I'm going through, do you?" A fiery aura was forming around Kat's body as she demanded angrily, "Do you? He's in there right now, probably dying, and you have the nerve to even dare say that I don't care? Well here's news for you missy; I DO CARE!" Flames were flying out of her eyes and hands, scaring the Titans and Craig. Kat then took a deep breath and calmed down. This was a hospital and she couldn't let her temper get the better of her.
"I'm…s-sorry," Jinx apologized. "It's just that, well…"
"I understand," Kat said, wiping her tears away. "And I'm sorry for yelling at you too. You have every right to be angry at me. I couldn't act fast enough and now he's paying the price."
"It is not your fault, Kat," Starfire said.
"Well it sure as hell feels like it is," Kat replied, feeling immense guilt. Raven could actually feel it radiating off her.
A doctor stepped out and removed the cloth mask covering the lower half of his face. Craig asked, "So, what's the word, doc?"
The doctor's expression was grim. "It's not good. Whatever type of poison this is we have no way how to treat it. They are getting worse." He then added, sadly, "If we don't find an antidote soon I don't think any of them will even make it through the night."
Jinx fell to her knees, eyes wide with shock. She just couldn't believe that Leo…that Leo…that Leo might die. Beast Boy was in shock too. Kat gripped her fists and gritted her teeth. Her nails dug into her skin, nearly drawing blood.
The doctor continued, "We'll be moving them to the ICU. You can visit them there later." He then left the teens.
Kat's eyes narrowed and she quickly ran, away from the Titans. Craig shouted to her, "Kat!"
"We'll follow her, don't worry," Robin assured Craig as he and the other Titans followed after the running black haired girl.
Kat stood outside the hospital and SCREAMED. She fired flames from her hands into the sky. The Titans saw this and were shocked at the immense power she was unleashing. A thin layer of ice was forming under her feet as ice spikes shot out of the ground. Her anger was triggering her powers and if they didn't stop her she might just lose control of herself.
Craig, ran out and saw this. He shouted, "KAT! STOP!" She had heard him and did as he said, her hands dropping to her sides. She fell to her knees, hands on her head, shaking. The Titans cautiously approached her. Craig did too.
"It's all my fault," Kat said, blaming herself. "Because of me, he's…It's all my fault." She began to cry, blaming herself for her brother's condition. "I'm useless…"
"Kat, Kat? It's me, Craig," Craig said as he kneeled down next to Kat right after maneuvering around the ice spikes cautiously. He wrapped his arms around her and began stroking her hair gently. "Let it out, Kat, just let it all out. It's okay."
"Please, friend, calm down," Starfire said, trying to console the distraught girl.
Cyborg stepped forward and said, "The doctor told us the poison is a type of venom and there just might be hope for Leo and the others yet if we find the source of the venom. Then, we can synthesize an anti-venom." Kat looked up hopefully at Cyborg. "We just have to find the source of the venom."
"I'll lead you there," Kat said. "But we need to get my bike first."
Suddenly, the same doctor from before came running out of the hospital. He ignored the Titans and went over to Kat. He didn't seem to notice the ice spikes. Oh well. "Oh, thank goodness you're still here!" His behavior right now plus his earlier panicked expression made Kat fear the worse. Jinx too.
"What's wrong?" Kat asked.
"We moved your brother to the ICU and hooked him up to life support with the others. As soon as we did he started having violent convulsions!"
Jinx and Kat's eyes widened with horror.
"Is he okay?" Jinx asked. The doctor finally took notice of her.
The doctor continued, "He's fine. We've already stabilized him but his condition is starting to deteriorate faster than expected. He doesn't seem to have much time left."
"What about the others?" Beast Boy asked, worrying dreadfully for Tara.
"The others are also stable, for now," the doctor explained. "All we can do is try to find a cure and fast."
Takada stopped the truck he was driving in front of the café. It was open and there were customers inside. No twins though. He looked over to the passenger side to look at his passenger. She had tanned, almost orange, skin and long black hair with a tint of purple in it. Her eyes were closed so he wasn't sure what color they were. Her clothing comprised of a black top and matching miniskirt with matching thigh high boots. She also wore what appeared to be silver body armor. She also wore a wide metal neck guard and gauntlets with gems imbedded in them. She also looked incredibly similar to Starfire and it couldn't just be a coincidence. She was unconscious when he had found her and still unconscious now.
The café had customers and he couldn't just carry her in from the front without attraction any sort of attention. What was he supposed to do? With a sigh he got out of the truck and walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, took her out, closed the door and then carried her in his arms, cradling her bridal style. He carefully walked around to the back of the café, leading to the kitchen, and, making sure no one saw him, walked out and quickly ran up the stairs.
He kicked the door to his room open and then walked over to his bed. He placed her gently on it and then pulled the blanket over her. She moaned a bit and then adjusted herself in his bed. Good; that was done, now the hard part:
How to explain this to Kat?
After picking up Kat's bike from Murakami High, Craig had insisted on coming along despite Kat's protest.
"I want to help!" Craig said to her.
"You could get hurt!" Kat reasoned. "And I couldn't stand it if you…"
"Hey, it's alright. I can take care of myself, remember?"
"That's my line," she said, giving him an even look. She then relented, sighing, "Okay, you can come, but if trouble comes you run. Deal?"
"Deal," Craig agreed. He put on his helmet as she did hers.
"Alright, Titans Go!" Robin said as he got on his R-Cycle while Raven and Starfire took to the air. Cyborg revved up the engine of the T-Car with Beast Boy riding shotgun and Jinx in the back, silently praying for Leo's recovery. Craig and Kat started up their respective bikes and rode them straight towards the forest, followed by the Titans.
Kat's belt formed around her waist as she held the card in hand. The Change Suzaku card was back with her and it was quite a surprise to her. That Sunday night when she and her brother returned to their room she had found the card in an envelope. She didn't know how it got there but thanked whoever did it anyway.
"Henshin," Kat said before slashing the card through a slot in the centre of her buckle.
"CHANGE SUZAKU!" the belt buckle announced as Kat's body was, literally, covered in flames. The Titans watched fearfully at this. When the flames dispersed they saw riding in Kat's place was her Advent Knight alter ego, Mimic. Craig whistled.
"That was cool," Craig said.
"Don't you mean hot?" Mimic corrected as her red heart shaped visor gleamed. Except for the new belt her armor remained relatively unchanged.
The Titans, one civilian, and one Advent Knight reached the clearing in the forest where the cave was. Mimic dismounted from her bike and stared at it. It sent chills up her spine.
"You okay, Kat?" Craig asked as he took off his helmet.
"I'm fine, Craig," Mimic said although it sounded a little more forced than usual. "Let's go."
The cave's entrance had been completely sealed shut thanks to Tara's earlier show of her powers. They was only one way they could get it opened; blasting it open.
"Ready," Starfire began.
"Aim," Raven continued.
"Fire in the hole!" Cyborg shouted, finising.
Cyborg, Raven and Starfire aimed and then fired. A blue sonic beam, a black energy beam and a green starbolt beam blew the entrance open as pieces of stone were sent flying in all direction. Craig ducked down to avoid any injuries like Robin. The pieces that hit Mimic merely bounced off her armor.
The entrance of the cave was now open. It was already dark out and it made the entrance look even more foreboding. Mimic swallowed hard. Despite her fears she was going to go in and get the antidote. She then felt a tap on her shoulder guard and turned to see Raven staring at her with narrowed eyes. "What?" Mimic asked.
"You're scared," Raven said calmly. Mimic's eyes widened under her visor.
"W-what are you talking about? I'm not afraid of anything!" she denied.
"That's not true and you know it," Raven retorted. "Listen, admitting you're afraid is not a weakness. Let's just say I had to learn that lesson the hard way." Raven said before leaving the Phoenix Knight to her thoughts. Was she fearless? No, she wasn't. Right now the only fear she had was for her brother's life.
But could she tell them that she was afraid of walking into a dark cave? She turned to Craig who gave her a reassuring smile. It boosted her confidence. She then made her way towards the Titans who were ready to go in.
The sound of a motorcycle engine reverberated through the silence of the forest. They all turned their attention as a black and green motorcycle pulled into view. Its rider was none other than Desmond Amakusa.
"What are you doing here?" Mimic said disdainfully. Desmond removed his helmet and just smirked.
"I see you've already transformed," Desmond said while looking at her belt. "Nice belt. And to answer your question Raven called me to help." Mimic glared at the empath.
"I thought it'd be good to have safety in numbers," Raven reasoned with her. She then blushed when Desmond blew her a kiss.
"Whatever," Mimic snorted, turning away from her and Desmond. She didn't like Desmond then and she didn't like him now. As far as she was concerned the Knight of Genbu was a big pain in her ass. Desmond had his Advent Buckle on and slid in his card.
"Henshin!" Desmond said.
"CHANGE GENBU!"
Craig's eyes went wide at this. "Another one?"
"Unfortunately…" Mimic added, not too thrilled.
Shadow went over to Raven and held her hand, squeezing it lovingly. Raven cherished the brief contact and smiled, looking at him through the blue eyepieces of his helmet. The affection they had for each other was all too obvious right now.
"Alright, let's go team," Robin said as he turned on a flashlight. Cyborg had his shoulder torch on as Starfire activated a starbolt. The green glow if it made everything seem eerie.
"Be careful, Neko," Craig said, taking her hand and squeezing it.
"I will, Craig-kun," Mimic said with a nod. She summoned her Suzaku Arrow and followed the others into the cave.
The inside of the cave was the same as Mimic had seen before. She still didn't like it but she pushed the fears back into her mind. Right now she was trying to track down the Beast Spirit but their phones as of late could not detect them no matter how much they tried.
"Just throw it away," Shadow said. "It's not working, why bother with it."
Mimic narrowed her eyes at him, tempted to shoot at him, "Listen, you, I don't care if your girlfriend happens to be a Titan but if you make me mad they'll be hell to pay!"
Shadow remained silent before saying, "You're scared."
"What?" Mimic demanded but Shadow had joined the group leaving Mimic behind. "Chotto!"
The Titans continued to look for anything out of the ordinary. The cave reminded Robin of his old mentor's hideout and he felt at home here. Raven looked around too and tries to sense for the Beast Spirit. Stalactites dripped water onto the floor and stalagmites grew from the floor. Their steps echoed through the space as they shadows were cast upon the inner walls of the large cavern.
Overall, this caused chills to go up Mimic's spine. However, she had to persevere for her brother's sake.
They reached a dead end. "Where is that thing?" Beast Boy exclaimed and his shouts echoed through the cave. He was frustrated now and Tara's current plight added to that stress. The girl of his dreams was dying and they weren't even close to a solution.
"Beast Boy…" Mimic began before she whirled around, her ears picking up something, "Does anyone hear that?"
Starfire cupped her ear, "Hear what? I do not hear anything."
Beast Boy cupped his ear as well but didn't hear a thing. "I can't hear anything either and my ears can pick up almost anything." That was true. Beast Boy had very sharp hearing.
Cyborg scanned for any life signs other than them. "It might be out of range," Cyborg said.
Shadow looked around. His eyes narrowed under his helmet. Raven asked, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know but I thought I heard something as well," the Knight of Genbu replied.
To Mimic's ears she thought she heard…talking? It wasn't any language she knew but she could somehow understand it. It spoke, "Why do you help the humans while you are one of us? Don't you remember how we were sealed and denied our destiny? Don't you feel our pain?"
Suddenly, something scurried by, grabbing Cy's attention. "What was that?" Cyborg exclaimed. Shadow and Mimic's eyes narrowed.
It was here.
The sound of scurrying and swift movements echoed through the cave. The Titans huddled together, standing back to back. Starfire and Robin held hands as the alien girl grew frightened. This wasn't helping Mimic's already volatile nerves.
Finally, it struck!
The Centipede Beast Spirit leapt out of its hiding spot and went on the attack. However, it was met with opposition as both Robin and Shadow's feet met its face and sent it flying back. It shook its head, trying to get the disorientation out as it looked up to face the Titans.
"TITANS! GO!" Robin's command echoed and they went on the attack.
Shadow began by manipulating the moisture in the air around him to form a giant water bomb. He hurled the bomb at the Beast Spirit and sent it flying into the air. He then drew three cards and slashed them.
"RUSH! BLIZZARD! POISON!"
"BLIZZARD VENOM!"
He jumped up and then stabbed the tip of his staff into the Beast Spirit, freezing its blood cold and infecting it with poison. He then threw it to the ground. It miraculously recovered. Starfire fired her starbolts at it and it ran to avoid them but ran into Cyborg who punched it away and sent it slamming into a wall. Raven chanted her usual magic words and pinned it against the wall with stalagmites she pulled out of the ground. Green blood spilt from its wounds. Jinx hexed a few stalactites hanging above it and they came crashing down on it. It was over.
Or was it?
The Centipede Beast Spirit twisted its body and then actually ripped its own body off its pinned limbs. Its arms and legs then, miraculously, regenerated and grew back before it made a run for it.
"TITANS! AFTER HIM!" Robin shouted. Beast Boy transformed into a tiger and pounced on it. The Centipede Beast Spirit struggled but the green tiger's weight was pressed upon it. Beast Boy kept it still until the Titans came. Suddenly, the Beast Spirit's head twisted around and then it spewed green mist into Beast Boy's face. Reverting back to human form, Beast Boy coughed and let the Beast Spirit escape before he fell unconscious.
"Oh no! BB!" Cyborg shouted as he dashed over to his friend. He looked greener than normal, a sickly shade to be exact.
"He's been poisoned like the others," Mimic said, seeing it happening all over again. Now, because of her, another one had fallen prey. No more. "Take care of him, I'm going after it."
"Not without us," Robin said.
"Robin, listen to me, without any armor you and the others are vulnerable from its poison," Mimic explained to him, reasoning. "Only Shadow and I can fight it without being poisoned since our helmets can filter out poisonous gasses."
"She's right," Shadow said. "You should get Beast Boy out of here while the Knight of Suzaku and I go after it." Shadow then coughed.
"You okay?" Mimic said, concerned. "You can sit this one out if you want."
"No, I'm fine," Shadow denied but he then started coughing more violently. Raven went over to him.
"Listen to her, Shadow. You're not well," Raven said to him. Shadow looked into her eyes and relented.
"Alright."
Mimic snickered in her mind, 'Whipped.' She then went in the direction the Centipede Beast Spirit had taken.
Takada was in his normal clothes after removing his ice cream man uniform. He took a chair and sat on it backwards while he faced the girl lying in his bed right now. Once in a while she would move and clutch the blanket to herself. Takada began thinking.
'Who is she? Where did she come from? What's her name?' and then a surprising thought came to mind, 'She's so beautiful…' He blinked. "Okay, where did THAT thought come from?" He had to admit that this strange girl was quite beautiful but to say that he was falling in love was highly unlikely. He didn't really believe in love at first sight. This was just simple attraction. However, was he falling in love? Nah, couldn't be! For one he didn't know one thing about her and even if he was in love, how was he to be sure that she would return his feelings? Plus he was a very busy person. Living on his own, renting a room from the twins, he had to support himself so he had various part-time jobs. Kat had teased him calling him a 'fulltime part-timer'. Takada had to chuckle at that for that was very, very true. He continued to watch her as she slept comfortably in his bed, waiting for 'Sleeping Beauty' to arise from her slumber.
Mimic continued to walk, following any clues to what direction the Beast Spirit had taken. She would've gotten lost if not for the T-Communicator she had on her to lead to the other Titans. It was dark in the cave but lucky for her that her visor allowed her to see in the dark.
The cave reminded her too much about how her original died. That feeling was something she could never get over. The darkness, suffocation, and then finally followed by death. She didn't like that feeling and she may never get over it and this cave was not making it any easier for her one bit. It just brought up some very unpleasant memories for her.
She listened and then she turned around to be facing the Centipese Beast Spirit. It then began speaking to her in a strange alien, yet strangely familiar, language, asking "Who are you? What are you?" It added, "You wear the face of a human yet you are not."
Mimic replied, speaking the same language which surprised her, "I am human, unlike you."
"That is not true. You are a Beast Spirit, like the rest of us. You look quite familiar to us."
"Who is this 'us'?" she asked. 'Is he talking about the Royals?' Mimic thought.
"Us is all of us," it replied, not making sense. "Us is everywhere wanting to cry out for freedom. Us is us!" He asked her, "Why have you come here?" The answer it got was in the form of an arrow that came flying at it. It dodged.
"To defeat you," Mimic answered calmly.
"Just as the Battle Game demands us," the Centipede Beast Spirit told her before it lunged at her. Mimic sidestepped its attack and then slashed down with her bow. It caught it and then spat a green wad at her. She tilted her head to the side and the wad was stuck to part of the wall. The part sizzled and smoked as it melted.
Mimic noted mentally to herself, 'Alright, acid spit. Very bad!' She then kicked it away and fired an arrow only for it to jump up. Mimic smirked before firing a fireball at it that exploded on its chest sending it flying and crashing upon the floor. "I'm afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of cramp and closed spaces," she admitted, "But you know what I'm afraid of the most?" Her mind went over to her brother who was lying in the hospital. "What I'm afraid of the most is losing my family!"
"Family?" the Beast Spirit said, confused.
Mimic detached her buckle from her belt and attached it to her bow, making it her card reader. She then drew three cards and much to her surprise they weren't her cards…
They were her brother's. The Kick Locust, Thunder Deer and Mach Cheetah cards were in her hand.
Her brother was cheering her on. 'Arigatou, otouto-chan.' She slashed the cards through.
"KICK! THUNDER! MACH!" her card reader announced, "LIGHTNING SONIC!" She rushed at the Beast Spirit, ramming through it before she turned around and jumped up, aiming a powerful electrified flying kick at it. The kick hit home and sent a surge of energy through it and sent it crashing into the wall. The metal cross on its chest fell off and then Mimic's eyes scanned it.
The gland for the poison was in its chest.
The Beast Spirit struggled to get up but not before receiving an ice arrow through the head, spilling green blood. Mimic then ran at it, slashing down and hacking off a piece of its chest off, the piece holding the gland for the poison. She picked it up and turned to look at the Beast Spirit who had been weakened.
"Chill out," she said before firing a beam of frost at it, freezing it in a block of ice. She then drew a card and threw it at the block. The card absorbed the frozen Beast Spirit, sealing it within before Mimic caught it. She looked at the card. It was the 10 of Hearts: Shuffle Centipede.
Mimic felt proud of herself. Not only did she overcome her fears, somewhat, she was holding the vital peace to her brother's recovery. She followed the signal on her communicator and ran to meet up with the others.
A dark robed figure had been watching before it vanished into thin air.
Mimic met back up with the Titans and shouted, "I got it!"
"Got what?" Robin asked. A blanket had been placed over Beast Boy.
"I have the venom gland. We can synthesize an antidote from this," Mimic said, showing said gland. Cyborg analyzed it.
"She's right. This thing is where the venom came from. I can use the Tower lab to make an antidote!" Cyborg shouted out.
"What are you waiting for then?" Mimic asked hastily, handing the gland over. "Do it now!"
"Got it!"
Starfire helped carry Beast Boy out as the Titans all exited the cave. Shadow and Mimic were the only ones in it.
"What are you waiting for now?" Shadow asked.
"Nothing, nothing at all," Mimic replied. She had been freaked out at first. What was happening to her? She knew she had been cloned by mixing her original's DNA with Beast Spirit DNA but what was happening to her? Now she could understand the Beast Spirits' tongue. This just got even freakier for her and she didn't want to hang around this place any longer.
"Let's go," Shadow said as he walked off.
"Oy, chotto!" Mimic called after him.
The dark robed figure continued to watch as the two Knights left the cave.
Cyborg extracted the venom from the gland and began to synthesize the antidote in the lab. Kat was in the living room, thinking. Jinx sat down next to her and she looked to be praying.
"You care about my otouto-chan, don't you?" Kat asked the pink haired girl. Jinx looked at her, her cheeks becoming red. "Not only that, you seem to genuinely like him. Why is that?"
Jinx ran her hand through her pink hair. "I don't know," she answered. Kat raised an eyebrow at this. "It's just that, well, he's a nice guy and well…" Jinx trailed, unsure of what to say.
"You don't have to answer now until you've figured it out for yourself. Besides, he likes you too."
"He does?" Jinx looked ecstatic at this latest bit of info.
"Yup, he does," Kat confirmed. "About time too. In school a lot of girls seem to like him but he doesn't seem to notice. You're the first girl since ever that he seems to be really interested in," but then her expression turned serious, "Oh, and Jinx, if you do anything to hurt my otouto-chan…" she trailed off but formed a bit of fire from her fingertips to get her point across. Jinx gulped and nodded quickly in understanding. "I'm glad we had this talk." Kat grinned.
Cyborg rushed into the room with a vial in his hand. "It's done!"
A/N: Well, how was that? Great huh? Well let's see what's going to happen next, shall we? And a question: Who are your favorite characters in this Advent Knights of Legend fic? Please, leave a review and tell me, kay? Also, if anyone has any ideas of the Advent Knights' uniforms if they do officially join the Titans please let me know.
Preview to the next chap: After the Titans have delivered the antidote to the hospital to have it administered upon the victims of the Centipede Beast Spirit, Kat returns to find Takada with a girl in his bed. Meanwhile, something is happening in the hospital.
New card sealed:
Category 10 of Hearts: Shuffle Centipede.
