Hey.

[Gives Hunter and Guard both a gentle squeeze.]

It's what we do. We look out for our friends and family.

[othellovonryan]

[KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT, GUARD.]

That's right. We'll always be there for you two. [Going to pat Guard's head and squeeze Hunter.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter gives them both a watery smile. Sniffles a bit. ]

You - you should probably get back, right?

[ Before he breaks down into tears, ]

[neonleon]

Probably?

[Looking at Don. This is your rodeo, sir, he just came along to help.]

[othellovonryan]

I think we should get you up to the top first, just in case.

Guard, do you mind robo Raph staying here until I pass out? Just in case there's more trouble. In theory, I could feel it if he goes out before I sleep.

[JUST]

[TO BE SURE]

[pyrighteous]

[ Guard eyes Robo Raph but ... ]

Yeah, sure. Why not. We've had worse.

[ A shiver from Hunter. ]

Belos is SO much worse.

[neonleon]

Agreed, he's worse.

[One more squeeze hug for them both before he starts pulling away, but keeps one hand on Hunter's shoulder.]

Up then out, huh?

[othellovonryan]

Absolutely.

[He will pull back, looking to Raph.] Keep Guard company. Protect him if anything tries to attack. [Robot Raph gives a thumbs up.]

[He looks to Hunter.] Just like last time, right? Feel for that connection to Flapjack and others and follow it out.

[pyrighteous]

[ Guard again eyes Robo Raph, but ... ]

I should be the one doing the protecting.

[ But it's Belos so. No arguments. Anyway!

Hunter nods, looking up at the clearing sky. ]

... I can do that. Yeah. On the count of three?

[ He puts one hand on Leo's shoulder in return, then reaches one out for Donnie? ]

[neonleon]

[He looks from Hunter up to the sky. Holds one hand out for Donnie too, nods.]

One.

[othellovonryan]

Robo Raph is a construct so its not actually bad for him if he goes down. [He's just saying.]

[Donnie will allow the hand and put his own on Hunter's and Leo's shoulders.]

Two.

[pyrighteous]

What do you think we are?

[ Guard makes a face, but Hunter waves a hand. ]

Not what he meant, Guard. Three--

[ Time to wake up. ]

[neonleon]

[And they come back! Leo still knelt over Hunter's body holding the crystal to him. And thankfully the bit of ninpo Donnie shoved at him took care of whatever injuries may have been.

Once he's aware of himself, Leo sits back a bit, crouching on his heels.]

[othellovonryan]

[Oh]

[Shit, that's a good point.]

[Whoop, but in his body and he just]

[Falls over because ooooooh my god, that was so much to do.]

[He still feels phantom stinging on his arms.]

....inform Guard when convenient that I will be workshopping a better word for my mystic power other then construct now that I have connected the dots on where there may be confusion.

How are you feeling, Hunter?

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter ... slowly sits up. That's good! All traces of that horrible green-black goop are gone now, which is even better. There's a rustle in the treeline - maybe Belos escaping, that could be bad - but there is, perhaps, something more pressing here and now.

Hunter has been left with horrific scars. Anywhere the goop touched, his flesh has been eaten away at, much like Leo and Donnie experienced. Except, you know, Belos has had control for a couple of hours, and that does horrible things to someone like Hunter. But worst of all, there is a huge hole where his galdorstone should be. There isn't even a HINT of that particular part of himself regenerating.

He just sort of. Wheezes gently. How is he breathing with a huge hole through his chest? Good question. That's probably where the wheezing is coming from. ]

Oh. That's ... awful.

[ He's more numb than anything. ]

[neonleon]

[He was looking at Donnie to make sure his brother was okay, but then looks to Hunter at those words and-

Oh.

OH EW. Gross gross ew.]

I think that's a little more than 'awful'!

[othellovonryan]

[Donnie just needs a minute. Probably. Sometimes he just needs to be on the ground so he can recover.]

[Though he does hear that wheezing. Oh, that isn't a good sound.]

[Then Leo freaked out.]

[He pushes himself up to his hands and knees.] What?! [He is quickly crawling over to see what is going on and-]

Your galdorstone! Shit, Leo, crystal. We need to buy time. Hunter, you said Pari was making a body for Guard, right?

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter sort of lolls forward as he tries to nod. There's still magic in his body, but it's not circulating properly without the stone OR Belos serving as a core. ]

Y. Yeah. A bird. Like me'n Flapjack.

[neonleon]

[CRYSTAL right, he's got it in his hand still. Just. Gonna try and focus his ninpo to it with a flash of blue before he - oh ew. Listen, Donnie's got his gross level, Leo's got his and this is definitely hitting his gross level as he puts... the crystal.... in the hole..... Ewewewew]

[othellovonryan]

So he should be able to do a permanent solution.

[Because the crystal isn't, it can only hold so much energy, but its like an epipen. Keep the person alive until they can get to someone who can really treat them.]

[Donnie has to swallow hard, putting his own hand over Leo's, to give the Ninpo focus.]

[Enhance the construct, Hunter is technically just parts switched together, like things he's enhanced before. Directing the energy to holds those parts together, increase durability, energy, keep the shell together.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter slumps forward as the brothers work, having lost even the energy to speak at this point. Whatever light was in him is fading fast.

So it's very fortunate they have that crystal ready. With the Ninpo flowing through it, and the part enhancement ... slowly his chest begins to heal over. It's not perfect - the comparison to an epipen is VERY apt - but that flicker of life stabilizes in him. He takes in a longer, gasping breath as the hole smooths over. ]

Nnghh...

[neonleon]

A little bit more, c'mon, you're almost there-

[He's having to focus a lot harder though, the surface level of his ninpo already drained - from Belos trying to suck it up before and then using it in that mind scape. What's left he has is having to be dredged up from his own reserves. But he keeps at it, watching that whole start to heal.]

[othellovonryan]

We're. We're going to need a portal to Mouse, L-Leo. Crystal can only hold so much.

[His voice is tight, hand shaking, still directing the Ninpo and adding what he can after all that. His eyes scanning over Hunter, looking at his form to see if everything looks like it'll stay together.

[pyrighteous]

[ The hole is sealed over now, and Hunter seems ... well enough to walk, at least. The more Ninpo Donatello shoves in, the more wakeful he becomes.

He's holding together for now. Some kind of stable for the moment. ]

Portal sounds - sounds good. Yeah. Sorry, I'm ... I'm so tired.

[neonleon]

No worries, we gotcha, you're fine.

[Keeping one hand on Hunter and the other is grabbing his sword to portal them to Mouse, the blue lighting up underneath them.]
