Outside Enclave Holding Facility

Melanie tried to pay attention to what was going around her, Rica comforting her and Galv attacking the ones who shot her, but she couldn't focus on anything except a strange numbness and a constant hum in her ears. She tried to keep her eyes open and forcing herself to keep clinging to her father's filthy jacket.

Unbeknownst to her, Melanie's body was currently in overdrive, working to heal her first wound serious enough to kill her. In the process whatever crazy genetics her father gave to her healed everything from a few cuts on her fingers to the gash under her dark hair. Of course the bigger things, like a bullet to the stomach, would take longer.

[...]

"Can we get out of here fast enough?" Chloe exclaimed, suddenly alarmed. the group headed through the hold and back towards the jeep. They just needed to run as fast as possible.

"W-What about the o-other girl?!" Sarai noticed "N-N-Nanami!"

[Outside Enclave Holding Facility]

Rica rushed back to the ruined city, and eventually made his way to the convoy jeeps. The man was utterly exhausted. His legs ached, he had several bullet wounds, and he could barely breathe – but all that mattered right now was getting Melanie to the truck.

The rebels had brought along a few medics, waiting at the trucks in case Galv was in bad shape, or anyone was hurt during the rescue. Rica shoved Melanie into the arms of one of the medics.

“Please…” Rica begged. “Save her… please…”

[…]

Connor heard a strange sound in the air. The whirling of engines. He looked up, and in the distance he saw several Vertibirds flying towards the Hodling Facility.

“Oh no… OH no! Sarai, Chloe! RUN! RUUUUUUN!” He yelled at them, trying to urge them to move faster. He wasn’t sure if they could make it!

Lavan peered over the edge carefully every once in a while, letting Nanami rest while he watched every single thing that happened, and reported exactly who made it out of the facility and when.

In the meantime, he filled the rest of the silence with inane babbling and strange comments that while being completely out of the ordinary, like "Socks are the best thing since sandwiches" and "Would you like to buy a bottle of medical leeches? They come at a fair price," it definitely kept Nanami awake and wondering.

Probably wondering exactly why sanity seemed to leave her life.

Then, as the vertibirds finally got close enough to make a threatening humming sound, Lavan stood up, cracked his knuckles, and stretched.

"Well, time to run!"

Of course, it seemed like they were not exactly going to make it. They were still too close within the blast radius, but Lavan instead dove into the remains of his pack, and pulled out a large pillow. A very... Heavy looking pillow.

Grinning, he looked at Nanami like a maniac.

"Have you ever tried to enter an explosive blast radius covered by ballistics jelly?"

[Enclave Holding Facility Area]

Nanami was barely conscious. Lavan had been babbling and keeping her awake with random nonsense. She was ignoring him to the best of her abilities, instead focusing in on the revelation from Don Gallic.

“Ballistics jelly? What are you talking about?” Nanami asked, trying to sit up. She groaned, clutching her side. “We need to get out of here, now. We’re going to die if we don’t.”

She was right about that. There were five Vertibirds, and each carried four missiles; all aimed for the Holding Facility. When they were done, the Holding Facility would be nothing but a crater.

Lavan picked Nanami up, fired up so the aura around him became a glowing red, and jumped into the air, a large disc forming in the air underneath him. A disc of fire. This disc angled itself, turning into something that...

Very closely resembled a surfing board.

No, scratch that. It was a surf board. Made of fire.

And then, he waited until the vertibirds let the bombs fly, supporting Nanami in one hand, the pillow in his other hand, waiting...

[Enclave Holding Facility]

The Vertibirds had arrived.

The first one was here slightly before the others. It was the first to open fire, sending its missiles one after the other at the Enclave Holding Facility.

The first missile struck the left side of the building and the resulting explosion was enormous! The flames shot high into the sky, and burned super-hot. The side of the building was immediately aflame, and was soon collapsing in on itself.

The second missile hit the front of the facility, and the third collided into the right side. The fourth was coming straight at the roof!

The moment the first missile went off, Lavan was off like a rocket away from the blast, tilting himself so the board was pointed nose-downward at a 45-degree angle. At the same time, he pressed the bag of blasting jelly against Nanami and let out a flare of flame, rocketing away from the explosion.

It took a total of just a fraction of a second for all of these things to happen. A fraction of a second later, the blastwave hit...

And Lavan's fire-board-thing caught the force, the bag of blasting jelly easing the impact on Nanami to just a pillow-pummel while Lavan was hit with the full force of it, tearing apart the backpack and a good majority of his shirt and outfit. However, they suddenly went from flying at a speed of around 100 miles an hour to almost quintuple that amount, crossing distances so fast that they could barely blink, the blastwave itself protecting them from the negative effects of high-g-force environment.

It took Lavan a total of just a few minutes to reach the abandoned city and skid to a stop on one of the roofs. By then, the blastwave was nothing more than a heavy wind, and he could actually remain on his feet. Flames disappeared from around him and he almost collapsed, sagging and coughing, looking terribly wind-swept and tired.

"That... Was... Pure... EPIC! Ow."

Nanami coughed a bit as she tried to wipe blasting jelly from her face. This whole thing was incredibly annoying. She was tired, sore and really needed to punch something. She also needed sleep, and to yell at Old Man Sensei.

Mostly she just needed this to be over.

The sound of explosions echoed behind them. The Vertibirds all dropped their payload, and had turned around. The Enclave Holding Facility was GONE. Even the foundation of the building was completely erased. Instead there was just a large hole in the ground, covered in flames and belching smoke into the sky.

-Ruined City-

The convoy pulled into the Ruined City, everyone having gotten out.

The cars moved, however one slowed down as it spotted Lavan and Nanami, the rest still moving fast.

“Nanami!” Cess yelled, jumping out of the stopped car, running over towards her. He paused as he saw Lavan, one hand moving to a gun, but he didn't draw it. Considering the circumstances Cess didn't think he was a bad guy, but Nanami was badly injured...

“Ummm...who are you?” Cess asked Lavan, glancing towards Nanami, “Never mind, you can tell us later. Nanami, we got Galv, but Melanie...she got shot. She's...not dead yet, but we're hurrying back towards the base to get her healed.”

She would be in one of the cars that kept going.

“Galv seems fine as well, not injured, but he expended a lot of energy so he's passed out,” Cess continued, knowing that despite being near passed out herself Nanami would want to know all this, “You can tell us what happened with you later. Right now we need to go.”

Cess then stiffened a little, looking back towards Lavan, “Is he coming with us?”

[Ruined City]

As the convoy pulled into the city, Nanami suddenly felt a small surge of hope. She did not dare rush over to them herself, since right now she was only barely awake. The salve Lavan had given her had worked wonders to keep her awake and help replenish her lost blood… but she was still very badly injured, and just one stressful moment away from collapsing entirely.

When Cess reported that Melanie had been shot, Nanami’s heart fell. It was the second worse bit of news she’d gotten today, surpassed only by her meeting with Gallic. She shook her head.

Nanami paused, and turned to Lavan. “You can come with us if you want, I owe you that much… but understand that if you come with us, you’ll have to actually listen to me… or rather, Cess, when I’m unconscious.”

Lavan watched Cess coming towards him with a grin. He was surprisingly quiet, letting the girl catch up with her comrade, waiting until he was referred to personally. That turned out to be a while though, and he began to get a little edgy, looking around for something to DO. He almost set a distant wood board on fire just for fun before he was referred to by Nanami, and turned back to the conversation.

"Sheesh, I can just SENSE the hostility here."

He scrunched his nose at Cess, scrutinizing the man.

"... I'd stretch out a hand to shake yours, but you'll just have to do without. Between shaking a man's hand and carrying a pretty japanese girl, I think I'll stick with the option that DOESN'T question my preferences, thanks."

His scrunched face turned into a bright grin.

"Though seriously, I was just happy to help. Any reason to be a thorn in the Enclave's side is as good as any in my book!"

Finally, he realized what Nanami said, and glared down at the girl's face.

"... Do I haaaaaave to? I don't do good with authority, will that be a problem?"

It seemed Nanami was more injured then Cess could tell, if this guy hadn't been stabbed by her yet.

“Well whatever the case, I'm glad you helped Nanami,” Cess said, “But we need to get going, it looks like Nanami needs some medical attention too, and we can get that back at the base.”

He turned back to the car, opening up the back door, “Can you lay Nanami down here? I don't want to get too far behind the others.”

Nanami was getting annoyed again, and if Lavan hadn’t have saved her life already, she would have strongly considered punching him in the head and crawling over to one of the jeeps rather than be carried.

“Yes you absolutely have to!” Nanami shouted at Lavan, in no mood for shenanigans. She sighed as she was carried over to the car. This day was getting to her.

Outside Enclave Holding Facility

Melanie stiffened when Rica handed her off to a medic. She wanted to ask if he was going somewhere or why he sounded so afraid, but she couldn't. She wanted to throw up, so much that she struggled against the man that was holding her until he sat her down in one of the cots in the truck. The girl quickly leaned to the side, coughing up some blood and choking back sobs. It hurt....And wouldn't stop hurting! She didn't even know why she was still conscious...Or alive.

If she was going to die shouldn't it be a lot sooner than this?

[...]

Chloe and Sarai ran as fast as they could,both of them extremely out of breath when they got back to the trucks. Instantly Chloe climbed into one, helping Sarai and Connor do the same. When they were (apparently) safe, Chloe leaned back and took a large breath.

"That was close...."

Sarai nodded, unable to force herself to talk. The girl listened closely as people outside were talking about the injured Melanie. She looked back to Connor. "Y-You....Y-You s-should h-help her" she managed.

Lavan just rolled his eyes in amusement.

"Alright, alright, I'll play along. I need to deliver a message to someone anyways, might as well do it nicely."

He followed Cess over to the aforementioned truck and set Nanami down inside. Surprisingly enough, he wasn't rough about it. In fact, he made sure the bandages were still holding before leaving Nanami to her own devices.

As he did, he was speaking to Cess.

"I did what I could to patch her up. She's running on stimulants and blood clotting agents, so her blood count should be fine. I won't say the same for fractures and wounds though: she'll probably need stitches for a few wounds. She'll be fine for a few hours, but make sure to change the current cloth to actual bandages when you can. I cleaned them up as much as I could, but there was a very limited amount of things on hand."

He clapped his hands together after he set Nanami down, grinning back at the girl.

"MAN, that was a fun ride! You're one tough cookie, girlie. Rest up, I think you'll need it."

He turned back to Cess and then finally stuck his hand out.

"Now that my hands are free, name's Strudel Von Wildebeast the Twenty-Second! It's a pleasure to meet one of you so-called "rebellion scum", as the Enclave so often like to seethe the words."
