He finds Blaze locked in combat with a shadowy figure.
-
[i]Cobalt unleashes a pair of Aklex shots into the shadowy figure.[/i]
-
They dodge, but Blaze gets a chance to breathe.
-
[i]Cobalt goes to move in between the monster and Blaze, swapping to his Sewing Sword.[/i]
-
The monster stares down Cobalt. “Th-thanks.” Blaze says.
-
[i]Cobalt holds a defensive posture, but taking a hand off to toss a small medical kit behind him.[/i]
-
The figure rolls his shoulders, and throws its sword....right through Blaze’s chest.
-
“Son of a-“ [i]Cobalt immediately turns to help Blaze.[/i]
-
The figure runs off. Blaze crumpled to the ground. “Oh....owowowow....”
-
“You’re going to be fine. Just a puncture.” [i]Cobalt shoes to retrieve the emergency kit, and gets out a needle and thread, along with a blood bag, which he holds near Blaze’s mouth.[/i] “Drink it.”
-
Blaze drinks it....but continues to wince in pain. “Owowow....are...are swords supposed to burn?”
-
“Unless they’re poisoned, or cursed.” [i]Cobalt glances over, and searches in his bag for something capable of generating heat, eventually finding a small plasma torch. [/i] “This is going to hurt.” [i]Cobalt yanks out the blade, and immediately starts to cauterize the wound with the torch.[/i]
-
“A-ah...it...it still burns....0
-
“Yeah, that’ll happen. Keep talking.” [i]Cobalt starts to sew up the wound.[/i]
-
“A-and....owowow....”
-
“Think of the kid, chief.” [i]Cobalt injects a healthy dose of painkillers, realizing he has no idea how to deal with magical injuries.[/i]
-
“Yeah...yeah I know....Gah...”
-
“Alright, you should be medically stable. I couldn’t tell you about the pain, though.”
-
“I...it feels like I’m...being burnt up from the inside....” Blaze weakly touches his wrist.
-
“That’s not good.” [i]Cobalt tries to find something to help, maybe some soothing plants.[/i]
-
He can’t find anything. Blaze coughs up some blood. “Oh...dang...”
-
[i]Cobalt picks him up, and starts to run towards the city.[/i] “We’re gonna make it, bud. You’ll make it”
-
“Y-yeah...” he coughs up more blood and holds his chest. “Ah...a-sorry....oh man...”
-
“You’re doing fine. Just hold on.” [i]Cobalt keeps running, towards the Order’s hospital.[/i]
-
“I...I don’t think....” Blaze winces. “Oh....n-no...”
