Chapter 4: Things Change
Dan laid silently in bed trying to force himself back to sleep, but to no avail as even since those vivid dreams of the other world he was just not feeling too at home on Earth. He blamed anxiousness as he was desperate to learn all he could of this new world. He tried to distract himself with what Samillis had said. Something about a new Serlin, possibly from Earth, could they know something he didn't know himself? He shook that off and thought about the landscape he had seen that reminded him of a less polluted and brighter version of London, except that wasn't the name for it had been called something like, Fameriosa. He repeated the word over and over in his mind as the word seemed to be more enticing and beautiful as odd as it was at first. He sighed as he realized he wasn't going to fall asleep again so easily and gathered the strength to get out of bed.
It was still the middle of the night it seemed as Shun was laying in his bed with his sheets laid neatly over him neatly while Marucho was snuggled against his pillow as he curled up into a fetal position.
Dan nearly leapt out of his skin when he heard his name called.
"Dan?" Drago's voice called to him, "What are you doing?"
Drago had moved from the nightstand he had been previously dozing on, to float in front of Dan.
"I, um, couldn't fall back asleep so I got up." Dan whispered so he wouldn't wake the others.
"Did you dream of Roa again Daniel?" Drago inquired in the same volume as Dan.
Dan was silent for a moment before giving a nod and then realized it might be too dark for Drago so he whispered again, "Yeah."
"So, what did you find out this time?" Drago asked.
"I'll tell you, but not in here, the others are trying to sleep still." Dan said in a hushed tone and the two went down to the kitchen.
The kitchen was rather small, but it was so for it was just the kitchen specifically for this floor so it was stocked with snacks and energy drinks or juice. Dan smiled at the preparedness of the whole place as it served any and all necessities with easy access. He opened the fridge and raided finding a plate of brownies and grabbed a bottle of orange juice to drink. He sat himself down at the small bar with Drago.
"So did you learn anything else?" Drago asked once more as Dan feasted on the brownies.
"Yeah, the place has some similarities to London, although it's a lot cleaner and more brighter as well as smaller." Dan explained in between bites, "Also there's apparently a new comer they're supposed to have that's from Earth soon."
"WHAT?!" Drago exclaimed making Dan jump a little, "Daniel! This is huge! Why didn't you tell me that first?!"
The last bit, Drago had sounded angry so Dan timidly replied, "I wanted to tell you about the town first."
"DANIEL!" Drago rumbled making it definite that he was angry.
"What?" Dan grumbled in irritation, "I don't understand, why are you acting like this buddy?"
"Daniel, with that information we may have more of a chance of learning about this Roa place, and chose to tell me that last?!" Drago repeated angrily.
"Well, it was a nice town." Dan mumbled as he finished off his bottle of orange juice in thought.
Drago shrugged it off and floated off the bar counter a ways before pausing to turn around.
"What are you doing? We've got to wake and tell the others about this!" Drago exclaimed as Dan got to his feet.
"We can tell them in the morning." Dan suggested calmly as he went to rinse off the plate and throw his bottle into the recycling bin under the sink.
Drago paused and tilted in curiosity, "I don't get it, yesterday you were bouncing off the walls because you wanted information about this, Roa, but now you've seemed to have lost all interest. So Daniel, what has gotten into you?"
"Well….." Dan paused as he didn't want to admit it, but Drago wouldn't pick on him nor treat him any different if he told him the whole truth of it all.
Dan started again a little shaky, "Well, it's because I freaked out when I heard this Samillis, guy, say it, but honestly I'm still freaking out over when they jumped off that balcony in the castle. I thought I was going to have a panic attack."
"What do you mean they jumped off a balcony? You mean to say they committed suicide?" Drago asked worriedly.
"No! No, they didn't it's just that Samillis was going on about town and Druvious would go with him at first and then he told Samillis to go with this Ramere guy, but Ramere was too busy obsessing over the new comer so that's why Druvious caved in and they went up to this balcony area and jumped to free fall before flying off." Dan explained in one breath.
"So…that's what your dream was about? Just about those two aliens deciding to go fly about their town and talk about this new comer who has this Ramere guy stressing over it?" Drago repeated questioningly.
"Yeah I know, but I don't control when these things happen or who with in Roa. So pretty much yeah." Dan defended as he itched the back of his neck.
"Well, still the others need to know." Drago restated like a broken record, making Dan sigh.
"In the morning, okay?" Dan demanded as he plucked Drago from the air and place him on his shoulder before heading back to the room.
"I know, let's get some rest." Drago suggested earning a small satisfied smile from his human partner.
The smile didn't last long as they rounded the corner there was a sudden loud blood curling scream. Dan immediately grabbed his head and fell to his knees for it seemed the sheer force of the scream was knocking him down. Like a banshee of some sort trying to scream out his brains through his eye sockets.
"Dan?" Drago's voice barely audible over the screaming, "What's wrong?"
"Help.." Was all Dan could manage as the screaming intensified and his brain felt like it would explode.
Drago didn't hesitate any longer and quickly made a mad float dash back to the room to wake the other humans.
"SHUN!" Drago screamed out in haste, "MARUCHO! COME QUICK IT'S DAN!"
"Huh?" Marucho responded a little bleary eyed still.
Shun was quicker as he was already on his feet in front of Drago.
"Where is he?" Shun asked as Marucho was untangling himself from his blankets to get to his feet.
"Follow me!" Drago demanded as he shot off again, but made sure the humans were able to keep.
He was stunned to find Dan passed out on the floor and paused which indicated to Shun and Marucho to look down and see the pale brunette still clutching his head slightly. Shun squatted down and took his pulse as well as listened for breathing.
"He's alive, but he should still get some real medical attention." Shun suggested and Marucho nodded before rushing off to find a phone, "Drago what happened?"
"I don't know, one minute he was fine the next is he's all bent over and then he could stand up. He was acting like he had a sudden migraine or headache of some magnitude." Drago explained in shock as Marucho returned.
"I brought our onsite doctor to see what he could do." Marucho explained earning an eyebrow raise from Shun.
"I should've known you would've have something like this in stock." Shun murmured to Marucho.
Marucho beamed for a moment until the doctor interrupted them.
"Your friend isn't in any condition for me to treat him with as little equipment as I have. We must get him to a real hospital." The doctor informed them.
"What? You can make him better right?" Shun begged to know.
"I'm sorry, but I just don't have the right technology to deal with what is occurring with your friend. His heart beat is slowing and his breathing is too shallow. My equipment would only prolong his current state." The doctor explained.
"I'll go phone an ambulance then." Marucho said determined to make sure his friend wouldn't die that night.
"I'll try and contact his parents." Kato said from behind Shun startling them a little, "Sorry didn't mean to scare you, Master Marucho summoned me."
"Actually could you help me carry him down to the infirmary." The doctor asked bowing slightly in politeness.
"I'll call his parents then." Shun said as he took off back to the room to get his cell phone.
Twenty minutes later the Paramedics finally arrived and loaded Dan carefully into the ambulance. Shun climbed in afterwards with Drago in the front pocket of his jacket. Shun nodded to the attending Paramedic before waving back to Marucho. He knew Dan's parents would be waiting for him at the hospital as they needed someone to go along and explain what had transpired. Marucho felt it was suitable for Drago to go, but the Bakugan didn't want to go alone so Shun volunteered himself. He felt he would be the best choice as in no offense to Marucho, but Drago didn't need a worrywart on the ride to the hospital.
"He's going to be okay, right?" Drago asked in a whisper to Shun as the attending Paramedic began to scribble stuff down on her clipboard.
Shun was silent for a moment as he surveyed his friend to determine the best kind of answer to give Drago, but all he could manage to say was, "I hope so."
