Yato:"Doctor,Please don't spoil Durin by carrying her. She's a skilled Caster but its a chore getting her to stay awake sometimes." Yato said taking notice of the sleeping operator Doctor was carrying.

(Y/n):"Does she always sleep like this? Or is she not getting enough rest?" (Y/n) asked Yato.

Yato:"I'm afraid its quite the opposite, her favorite hobby, pastime, and agenda all include sleeping. If she not sleeping, she's seeking out some place where she can sleep peacefully without to avoid being found so she doesn't work." Yato explained.

They were making their way to the Rally point so that they could evacuate Doctor (Y/n) back to "Rhodes Island". Reunion forces were clashing with Chernobog's security forces, the group had already had a few Run in's with Reunion forces who had spotted them.

Noir Crone with his large Shield took the front to block incoming projectiles as well as a couple melee attacks. Reunion didn't limit themselves to just infected people. The group was also attacked by Drones and

Rangers:"I shall deal with the Drones! Durin! Amiya! Deal with any enemies that go for the Doctor!" Rangers ordered, stringing his both to shoot down drones.

Amiya:"We're on it! Durin! Wake up!" Amiya said as she raised a hand to use her art projectile's while using her other hand to wake up Durin from her sleep on (Y/n)'s back.

Yato, Guard and Dobermann served as the frontline attackers with their melee weapons. Yato and Guard utilized swords as Dobermann's weapon of choice was a whip that gave her added range.

(Y/n) stayed close to Medic and Durin in the very back to avoid being targeted by enemy fire. Durin waving her wand to pop off a small art attack and Amiya who used art attacks out of the palm of her hands would get (Y/n)'s attention on how exactly they were managing these attacks.

After several skirmishes, they were on their way to a rally point to reach where Rhodes Island operators where supposed to converge on and head for the evacuation point.

Amiya:"Durin! Wake up! Your being a burden on Dokutah! We have a long walk ahead of us and he can't be carrying you the entire way!" Amiya said, walking up next to (Y/n) and trying to wake her up.

Durin made a small groan, adjusted her arms over (Y/n)'s shoulders, brushed her face into (Y/n)'s jacket and promptly stayed asleep.

Amiya grimaced being brushed off by an operator half her size.

(Y/n):"A-Amiya! It's alright, She's not very heavy at all I promise! I can keep going!" (Y/n) insisted.

He stopped and gently bounced Durin on his back to adjust his grip underneath her legs so he wouldn't accidentally drop her.

Amiya:"Are you sure? Your still recovering aren't you? Carrying Durin isn't too much of a burden on you is it?" Amiya asked.

(Y/n):"I'll be alright, I'd really like to get out of this city. It's turned into a Warzone with all these Reunion extremists all over the place! We need to leave, soon!" He said.

Dobermann:"Everyone form up! We need to stay alert, Reunion forces may spot us and launch a surprise attack in an effort to capture Doctor (Y/n)!. Guard, scout ahead and make sure we won't be walking into an ambush. And be wary trying make contact with any operator squadrons. There exists the possibility that our channels may be compromised."

Everyone turned to look at Dobermann when she said that.

Dobermann:"Under no circumstances are you to reveal that we are escorting Doctor (Y/n)! Should anyone ask about the Doctors whereabouts than spread misinformation about his location. We may be placing other operators in danger but its a necessary risk in order to keep Dr. (Y/n) safe. Understood?" Dobermann said.

Guard:"Yes Ma'am! I'll be sure to withhold that information!" Guard saluted before heading off to do what he was ordered.

Yato:"Ms. Dobermann? Are you certain that Reunion has infiltrated our communication channels?" Yato inquired.

Dobermann:"Reunion by some means became aware that we have recovered our VIP, Doctor (Y/n). We've several other operations going on that have been partnered with Chernobog security. However, this specific operation was to be kept within secure Rhodes Island channels. Leading me to believe we may have suffered casualties and our channels compromised at the hands of Reunion." Dobermann explained.

Medic:"If that's the case than we'd better take a few precautions. Here Doctor, You'd better put this on." Medic said reaching into her bag.

She handed (Y/n) a black Visor mask whose only defining feature was a slit where the eyes were supposed to be.

(Y/n):"Uhm...I suppose it not safe for me to be walking around with me being a target of Reunion." (Y/n) said setting down a drowsy Durin so that he could don the Mask.

Dobermann:"Doctor! Please remain close to Amiya! In case of an attack by Reunion she'll be in charge of defending you!" Dobermann ordered.

(Y/n):"Yes ma'am!" He replied, having put mask on and hoisting Durin onto his back again.

Dobermann:"Alright! Everyone move out to the Rendezvous point!" Dobermann ordered, turning about face before walking.

Everyonr stowed their weapons and began to move. Amiya took (Y/n)'s hand and gave him a gentle squeeze making him look at her.

Amiya:"Don't worry Dokutah! I won't let Reunion have you! We'll get back to Rhodes island together, I promise!" Amiya reassured him.

(Y/n) smiled at Amiya as they started walking together.

(Y/n):"I know we can Amiya." he replied.

(Instagram Artist: Missartsygirl)

(Timeskip brought to you by Dr.(Y/n) having stop once in a while to breath. Amiya silently blaming the Hobbit he's carrying.)

Noir Crone:"Dobermann, What should we do?!" Noir yelled raising his shield to block several incoming Molotov cocktails.

Dobermann:"Make your way through! Continue moving to the Rendevous point and keep our VIP secure!" Dobermann Ordered cracking her whip into several Originium slugs, splitting them into gooey chunks.

Ursus security:"Beat Them back!! Damn Reunion! All you infected do is break the rules, that when us in security have to come and clean up your shit!!" yelled a man wearing full set of Riot gear swinging a baton at Reunion members.

Reunion soldier:"You Ursus bastards! This is payback for how you treat us infected! Reunion will never bow down to you bastards!!" retorted a Reunion soldier using a 2x4 wood beam as a weapon.

The group had been on route to the designated rendezvous point, however to get to it they would have to pass through one of the "Conflict Zones", That had been listed on the Holomap.

The plan was to skirt the outside of the Conflict zone to avoid fighting as much as possible. The fight ended up coming to them, they stumbled upon a large skirmish between Ursus security decked out In Riot gear and Reunion on the path that they planned to travel through.

Ursus and Reunion members were mixed in with each other, swinging weapons, men hollering and insults being slung both ways. Knowing who was on who's side was hard to tell.

Dobermann:"We're going to lose too much time backtracking to find an alternative route! Ready your weapons! We're pushing through!" Dobermann ordered prior to this.

There were a few protests within group but once Reunion had noticed the Rhodes island operators there really wasn't any choice!

Rangers:"All of this confusion makes it...accurately targeting our foes...a little strenuous for me!" Rangers said in between the shots of his arrows.

Yato:"Rangers, Prioritize attacking any incoming drones! Durin take out those cocktail throwers! Leave any Rioters to me!" Yato ordered as she slashed through a Reunion member wielding a pipe.

PRTS had catalogued the hostile forces that were attacking, There were people wearing Face masks, orange armbands signifying their allegiance to Reunion, hoods and shorts wielding crude weapons, mostly piped classified by PRTS as "Rioters".

Similarlily dressed people slinging Molotov cocktails, however PRTS labeled them "Cocktail throwers".

And came the ones that they were all too familiar with, people dressed in standard Reunion attire, White hood, White expressionless masks save for the eyeholes, body armor and wielding sword, the common "Soldier" as PRTS called them.

(Y/n):"Rangers! Help Durin take out that Cocktail thrower! If they don't have any range attackers then we get the advantage!" (Y/n) yelled trying to be useful why avoiding Molotov's flying overhead.

Rangers:"Yes Doctor!" Rangers Replied as he turned his bow's attention to the cocktail throwers.

Amiya:"Doctor Please stay behind me!" Amiya yelled as she yanked (Y/n) behind her.

She fired an arts blast at a Reunion member lunging at (Y/n)'s back with a sword, hitting them in the chest armor but launching them back with percussive force.

Amiya:"We need to get moving! This isn't our fight!"

(Y/n):"I wish there was something more I can do. So your not putting you lives at risk for me" (Y/n) said watching the fight spiraling all around him.

Amiya:"You gave Rangers an order to attack Reunion's ranged attackers, it'd give us the upper hand. Why don't you try and issuing order to the rest of us. I trust in your judgement." Amiya said, firing off more arts blasts.

Dobermann:"Keep moving we're almost through!" Dobermann announced putting an arm on (Y/n)'s back to hurry him along.

Rangers:"The Cocktail throwers have been dealt with. It seems we have gained the advantage seeing as we're the only ones with range." Rangers said.

(Y/n) smiled, it seemed like Amiya's advice would give him a role that would ultimately benefit them all.

(Y/n):"Good job rangers! We're almost through this fight we need to go!" (Y/n) announced to everyone else.

Yato:"At once Doctor! Team A4 regroup we're falling back!" Yato ordered her squad mates as she grouped back up.

Noir Crone backed up to everyone with his shield raised to avoid block pipe and rebar attacks, Durin came hobbling back to the group with little attention paid to her due to her short size.

Guard and Medic were the last ones to regroup Guard doing most of the work since he was the only one who was armed, Medic assisted a couple times being Beaning a Reunion member in the head with her bag.

Dobermann:"I'll take the lead! Now let's go!" Dobermann ordered, whipping a Reunion member directly ahead of her, cracking his mask in half and sending him sprawling to the side.

They pushed there way through the Chaos, eventually coming out other side with the hole group intact.

Noir Crone:"Alright the Gang's all here." Noir said making light that none of their team had gotten injured or killed.

Yato:"We're not out of the woods yet. We should keep moving while Reunion is preoccupied." Yato stated, remaining on Guard as they moved away from the fight.

Amiya:"But what about the Ursus security? I think we should help them defeat what's left of Reunion-"

Dobermann:"That'll set us behind Amiya! We can't idle anymore than we have to, we'll be putting our Operators at risk if we stop to help Ursus Security forces at every confrontation they have with Reunion." Dobermann commanded.

(Y/n):"But surely we can help them here, Reunion seems like they're outmatched and they're numbers went down thanks to all of you." (Y/n) argued.

Yato:"Doctor (Y/n), I'm with Dobermann, Reunion is only temporarily outnumbered. Reinforcements will no doubt arrive any minute now." Yato said.

Rangers:"As am I, I've been in countless theatres of combat. This appears to be a Tactic of Reunion, let the enemy grow over confident before Swarming with overwhelming force." Rangers explained as he surveyed the fight.

Amiya:"But the Dokutah wants us to stay and help I think we should! There's only a handle of Reunion left!" Amiya protested.

Guard:"Come on Ms. Amiya, we've got the Doc with us! He's our VIP, getting him back to Rhodes Island is our mission objective right now!" Guard shot back.

Durin:"I want to get back to Rhodes island...*Yawn*...and sleep..." Durin said sleepily as she raised a sleeve to her mouth to cover up her Yawn.

Dobermann:"Amiya and Doctor! I know you mean well but it's simply a matter that isn't up for discussion! We need to evacuate immediately!" Dobermann sternly ordered.

Medic:"Sorry you two, looks like your outvoted on this one! Now let's hurry up and get out of here!" Medic said.

Doctor (Y/n) and Amiya sighed in resignation...

A large commotion however got their attention.

Ursus security:"Reunion brought in reinforcements!! What the Fu-? Hounds!! All units retreat!!" An Ursus security guard yelled.

They turned in time to witness several other groups of Reunion emerge out of some rundown buildings, they were accompanied by several dozen wild dogs that resembled wolves.

PRTS:"Reunion reinforcements have arrived, a large number of "Hounds" are accompanying them. Expect Casualties if you attack head on. Retreat is recommended as well as provide cover fire to whittle their numbers." PRTS identified.

The animals all had one thing in common, they had some sort of device strapped onto their backs that resembled a small camera, most likely a long range device for someone to issue orders to the animals with.

Guard:"Oh no! Hounds! We gotta go there's too many of them!!" Guard panicked watching the Hounds chase after the panicking security.

The group had begun to retreat, just as the Hounds noticed the group of people fleeing and turned to chase them.

Noir Crone:"Guard!! Now they're coming right after us!! Durin do something about them would ya!!" Noir crone yelled at Durin who he had thrown over his shoulder.

Durin was small, which would've made her sprinting speed slower than the rest. She would've been Hound Chow if Noir hadn't been carrying her.

Durin:"I'll try!" Durin responded lazily, waving her wand, aiming a few Arts attacks.

Her aim was thrown off from her position, not to mention being bounced around. Durin's art attack were off point, hitting the ground or dodged by a hound, albeit she did manage to kill one of the Hounds.

Yato:"Keep running!! We have to find somewhere where they can't entrap us. Then we can fight back!!" Yato yelled as they ran.

The Hounds however we're gaining on them, their barks and howls and snarls encouraging whoever was in the back to haul ass faster.

Especially on (Y/n) who wasn't used to this amount of running, being in a medically induced Coma for the unspecified amount of time he had been comatose for.

(Y/n):" I-! *Wheeze* I Don't thi-! *Gasp* I can run much fa-! Farther! *Wheeze*" A struggling Doctor said trying to keep up with the group.

Durin:"Got another one! Yay!" Durin sleepily cheered, a weak animal yelp confirmed it.

Amiya ran up next to (Y/n) and grabbed his hand to pull him along with her.

Amiya:"Keep Running Dokutah! Come on!" Amiya yelled.

Dobermann:"There! That building! We can take cover in that building and have the ranged operators take the hounds out from in there!" Dobermann announced bolting for a dilapidated Two story building.

(Y/n):"Oh *Gasp* Ok! Let's g- Oh SHIT!" (Y/n) cussed drawing everyone's attention.

A Hound had gotten close enough to (Y/n)'s slowing speed and ended up biting down on (Y/n)'s pant leg. The sudden jerk causing (Y/n) to topple forward into the ground.

Amiya:"Dokutah No!!" Amiya Shrieked.

The hounds leapt on (Y/n) biting and scratching wherever they could.

(Y/n):"Aaugh! Ah! That hurts! Help!! I need help here!" (Y/n) yelped in a fetal position to protect himself from being mauled.

Dobermann:"RESCUE THE DOCTOR!!" Dobermann blared cracking her into a several of the hounds.

Yato:"You heard her! All of you attack!! Save Doctor (Y/n)!!" Yato yelled as she rushed forward unsheathing her blade, slicing a pair of Hounds several times reducing them to bloody chunks.

The Operators charged in to the pack of hounds desperate to save the Doctor.

Unaware all the fighting had caught attention of someone else.

???:"Oh no. Reunion hasn't spread this far into Chernobog have they? Extraction will be difficult at his rate...Wait a moment? That's Dobermann and....My fellow operators under attack!" they said noticing the situation.

Amiya:"Hang on Dokutah!! I'll save you! Get off him you stupid Hounds!!" Amiya shrieked.

She was trying her hardest to break through to the Dokutah. But the number of Hounds was making that increasingly difficult.

(Y/n):"Ow!! Get these-! OW! Animals Of-! Aaauugh!!" (Y/n) cried in pain.

The battle had gotten so fever pitched, no one noticed the Art's being cast on the Hound cluster.

The next second, an arts blast exploded on a large gathering of the Hounds. Sending bits of burning fur and Broken Camera sets in all directions.

The operators were all left dumbfounded on what had just happened. Any Hounds that were still alive became frightened and scattered in all directions.

(Y/n):"...*Cough**Cough*...Ow...What happened? What was that?"

Amiya:"D-Dokutah are you alright?! Medic get over here!" Amiya exclaimed, rushing to (Y/n)'s side.

(Y/n):" I got bit and scratched a lot, but they couldn't get to my face because of this mask. Thanks a lot Medic!" (Y/n) said.

Medic:"Heh heh! Glad to have your appreciation Doc!" Medic said as she inspected his injuries.

Noir Crone:"Geez Doc, awful optimistic for just being a chewing toy!" Noir Crone.

Yato:"I'm with Noir Doctor, Please reserve your strength. Your injuries may be far more severe that you realized." Yato said expressing concern.

(Y/n):"Wait, one more thing. Amiya, Why didn't you use that big explosion attack that cleared the Hounds out?" He asked.

Amiya:"Me? My arts can't perform an offensive attack like that." Amiya said.

(Y/n):"Oh? Durin, Did you?..."

Durin:"Mm-mm, Wasn't me Doc...*Yawn*...tor." Durin replied.

(Y/n):"You didn't? Then who?..."

Dobermann:"I believe that mystery should solve itself now." Dobermann said referring to the approaching Operator.

(Fiverr Artist: Muhamadhamda540)

???:"Amiya, Dobermann, Team A6 that was a very close call indeed." they said.

Amiya:"12F! It's you!"

12F:"I was making my way to the designated rendezvous point but I caught wind of the commotion. It seems I arrived just in time." The new operator responded.

Dobermann:"More than you realize, We were at Risk of losing Doctor (Y/n) here to Reunion's hounds." Doberman said motioning towards (Y/n) being patched up by Medic.

Medic:"Well you've got a few bites and scratches, but your not going to bleed out from your injuries anytime soon. Still, I'll have to disinfect those wounds of yours."

(Y/n):"Ok, lets get somewhere that's not out in the open before those Hounds come back. " (Y/n) said hoisting himself up.

He stood up a little wobbly, Amiya grabbed an arm of his to support him.

(Y/n):"Thanks Amiya." he said.

Amiya:"Of course Dokutah." She smiled.

(Y/n):"Uh...Amiya? Why do you call-?"

12F:"Hello Doctor, I am 12F. I will do my best to serve you and the squad with my alchemical skills."

(Y/n):"I'll be sure to count you 12F. IT's a pleasure to be able to work with you."

12F:"No need for formalities Doctor, 12F will suffice."

Medic:"Ok now that introduction's are over lets get out of here, It sounds like there's a fight heading our way." Medic said.

Everyone stopped and listened for a moment, In the distance there they could hear overlapping yelling as well as a commotion of things crashing. It was without a doubt another fight, but it sounded like it was inching closer.

PRTS:"I have collected data from Ursus security channels. Security forces are being slowly being pushed back within this conflict zone. This Conflict Zone will soon be under Reunion occupancy." PRTS said.

Amiya:"We'd better get through this conflict zone quickly. Come on let's go Dokutah." Amiya said taking his hand.

Meanwhile

The Room that once held a sleeping Doctor, "Dokutah?", (Y/n). It was sitting desolate and empty, the sound of rapid, approaching footsteps would change that.

Reunion soldier:"The map says it should be in here!" said a Reunion member.

The door to the room was kicked open, Several Reunion members and a couple Hounds ran into the room with the intent to search for something.

Reunion soldier:"Hey check this thing out, Looks like someone was laid up in it not too long ago." Said one of them approaching the machine that held a comatose (Y/n).

Disconnected IV drips, a ventilator and a feeding tube. A slightly unnerving fact was the discolored stains that were inlaid fabric of the machine. Whether it was body sweat or Human waste...

...Or old skin from bedsores that had gotten stuck to the fabric from not having moved for an extended period of time.

Medic HAD wrapped wounds she found with bandages on (Y/n)'s wrists, his right ankle and upper arm prior to Amiya and Guard ushering (Y/n) out of the building.

Whatever the case, it was obvious to Reunion that someone had been here.

A couple of hounds approached the machine sniffed around, clearly interested in the scent of whoever has been hooked up here.

Reunion Rioter:"Shit, look like whoever we were sent to find here is long gone." Said another Reunion member.

The hounds growled having picked up on (Y/n)'s scent.

Reunion Soldier:"Sounds like the dogs have picked up the scent of whoever were supposed to find. Anything else we can use in here?" asked the soldier.

Reunion Rioter:"Nope. Whoever was in here smashed everything else." The rioter said.

The monitor screen to control the machine had been smashed. Most likely destroyed intentionally to prevent anyone else from using it.

Reunion Rioter:"You hear from the others? Apparently Security forces ain't the only ones we need to worry about, Rhodes island's been spotted in the city." They said.

Reunion soldier:"Really? Those traitors!? They claim they help the infected, but for a price! And even then, they still help the bastards like the Ursus Government who kill the infected!" said another soldier in the room.

Reunion Soldier:"They don't stand with the infected if they willingly help Governments like that!" Said another solider.

Reunion soldier:"What did you expect? They're just another Lungmen Dollar hungry corporation who swears to make lives better for the infected but end up dipping their hands into our pockets in exchange!" Said yet another Soldier.

Reunion Rioter:"How much LMD any of you wanna bet that they made off with our target here." The rioter said pointing there weapon towards the machine.

The Reunion members started chattering amongst themselves. A couple of them claiming that they HAD heard something get mentioned over their channels.

While they talked someone else walked through the door wielding a long black dagger, another sheathed dagger in their arm. And a long flapped Orange armband showing their affiliation to Reunion.

It was a woman, her red haired visible from under a black hoodie, A black face mask covering their mouth, a pair of flaps coming off the hood and a red tail popping out from underneath suggesting their Race, a casual grey shirt and faded blue jeans, black running shoes.

Reunion Soldier:"C-Crownslayer! Wha-! Your here!?" said a Surprised Reunion member.

She didn't respond. She glanced around the room before walking up to the machine that Reunion had been inspecting.

Crownslayer:"..."

Reunion rioter:"Uh...Crownslayer?" they asked approaching.

Crownslayer:"My target was here..." She said inspecting the inside of the machine.

Reunion Soldier:"Target? You were looking for whoever was in here?" said a Reunion soldier as they approached.

Crownslayer:"We need to find the person who was connected to this machine. Tallulah's orders."

Reunion Soldier:"The Leader herself! She actually-!"

Crownslayer:"Yes! Now get moving! The target could be slipping through our fingers as we speak!" She ordered.

The Reunion members scrambled amongst themselves before running out the door that they came from.

Crownslayer took a last glance at the machine, narrowing her eyes at it before heading out the door.

(Timeskip brought to you by Medic chasing guard around with a needle)

Medic:"Guard! Hold still! You need your shot!" Medic yelled going after Guard.

Guard:"Come on! Can't I skip out on one lousy shot!" He retorted.

Medic:"No! Now hold still!" Medic yelled tackling Guard.

(Y/n) watched Guard grumble as he rubbed his arm where Medic had poked her needle.

They had made it to a Rally point, or one of the first few. An empty town plaza where they were supposed to meet up with other Rhodes island operators. With some luck, the distance to the extraction point wouldn't be too far away.

Everyone had spread out to form a perimeter against ambush

Guard unbeknownst to (Y/n), was infected with Oripathy. It was time for a scheduled shot by Medic to treat his disease and avoid any Ill side effects. However, Guard was unwilling to take the shot which resulted in the Chase shenanigan that (Y/n) had witnessed.

(Y/n):"I'm glad I don't have to take a needle like that." (Y/n) said rubbing his arms out of unnerving fear.

Medic:"Ok Doctor, It's your turn!" Medic said turning towards (Y/n) with a needle in her hand.

(Y/n):"UH-! Hey! Did you hear that? I think I hear Amiya calling me!" (Y/n) stammered getting to his feet.

Medic:"NOT YOU TOO!! GET OVER HERE!!" Medic yelled as she grabbed (Y/n) as he tried to run.

(Y/n):"Wait! Wait! Medic! I don't need a shot! I feel fine!" he yelled trying to pull away.

Medic:"That's what they all say! Now hold still, I have to make sure this needle doesn't hit a major nerve center. Trust me, You don't want that." Medic explained trying to put the needle into him.

(Y/n) wriggled off his coat, escaping Medic's grasp and tried to run. However his wounds prevented him from getting far.

Medic took the opportunity to pounce onto (Y/n). She dragged (Y/n) behind her who was too frail to put up much a fight and forced him down onto an empty bench.

Medic:"Doc-!! Doku-TAH!! Quit fighting me on this! You need to take the shot!!" Medic demanded as she tried to force (Y/n) to take the medication.

(Y/n):"N-No-! N-No Way!! Get that Shot away!! Amiya!! Help! Reunion!!" (Y/n) cried out.

Far away, A distant "Dokutah!!" made Medic grit her teeth.

Medic:"Hey look! Amiya holding up a sign saying "Free cuddles for any and all Dokutah's!!" Medic said.

(Y/n):"Really wher-!!? OW!!" (Y/n) said turning his head.

The next instant, Medic took the opportunity to prick his exposed arm with the needle.

Medic:"There! Now that didn't hurt so bad did it?"

(Y/n):"YES! As a matter of fact it did!! What was that shot even for!!" (Y/n) said rubbing the spot in his arm where the needle penetrated.

Medic looked a slight bit surprised but then her expression changed to a more solemn, sympathetic one.

Medic:".....You don't know?......Well, sorry to be the bearer of bad news Doctor. The medical file that was onboard the Medical stasis machine, it said your a confirmed case of Oripathy." Medic explained.

(Y/n) froze at hearing the news.

(Y/n):"I have.....Oripathy?...B-But...But how? I don't feel sick at all..." (Y/n) said.

Medic:"That's what most of the infected claim as well, till Originium crystals appear on their skin from the internal burns that Oripathy causes." Medic said.

(Y/n) was baffled receiving this news. He was one of the infected? When? Why? How did this happen?

He was at such a loss for words that he didn't notice what Medic had begun to do.

(Y/n):"Mm! Medic what're you doing?"He said with his head buried into Medic.

She took a hands on approach, hugging (Y/n)'s head into her body in an effort to console him.

Medic:"I'm sorry Doctor (Y/n). I know that's probably not something you wanted to hear being woken up in this crazy situation. I don't like delivering bad news to Oripathy victims. Your a special case getting dragged into this crazy situation, but I hope can raise your spirit just a little bit." She said gently patting him on the head.

(Y/n) felt awkward sitting like this, having his head caressed into the body of a woman he hadn't known for very long. But he still received an underlying sense of ease pass through him, so Medic's gesture certainly was working it's charm on him.

Dobermann:"Everyone gather, We need to get moving again!" Dobermann said startling both of them.

The next second a brown blur sped past Dobermann and grinded to a halt a few feet away from (Y/n) and medic.

Amiya:"I'm here Dokutah!! Where are those Reun-!...........Medic! What are you trying to do to the Dokutah!!?" Amiya called out, noticing that medic was hugging (Y/n) on the bench.

Amiya activated her arts out a subconscious need to "Protect" (Y/n)..

Medic:"Amiya! I was just-!"

(Y/n):"Medic was just giving me something to give me a little energy Amiya! That's all!" (Y/n) explained trying to calm Amiya.

Amiya:"...Oh.....Oh I see...I thought she was trying to make advances on you...Unapproved by me....." Amiya sighed in relief, dispelling her arts.

Dobermann:"Amiya! Please focus on the mission at hand!" Dobermann snapped.

Amiya:"Yes Dobermann! I'm sorry!." Amiya apologized.

Yato:"Dobermann! We have movement coming in!"

Dobermann:"All units defensive positions! Be prepared for whoever comes-"

???:"KOOOKOOOODAAAAYOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Said a girls chipper voice.

Everyone slightly grimaced hearing that sound. Meanwhile (Y/n) turned and saw a group of approaching women.

(Fiverr artist: monipoye)

Dobermann:"Reserve Team OP A1, So your one of the first few to arrive it seems. Fang, did your team encounter any other squads on your way here?" Dobermann asked the approaching girls.

Fang:"Yes Ma'am! However Reunion's begun to spread through every nook and alleyway in Chernobog, we only met a couple squads before Reunion Casters forced us to separate." The blue haired woman known as Fang said.

???:"We couldn't beat them all, they ended overpowering us and we were forced to retreat." The blonde girl with pig tails said.

???:"I tried to defend us but there were just too many of them! We were lucky we didn't lose any of our people!" Said the Redheaded girl with the shield.

???:"Speaking of people, who is this person? I've never seen him before. Looks like you were in a scrap recently, I can patch up those wounds or you if you like. " Said the purple haired girl with horns.

Amiya:"This is Doctor (Y/n) Hibiscus, someone we were sent to rescue from deep in Chernobog." Amiya explained.

Hibiscus:"Is that so? Well I guess introductions are in order. Hi Doctor! I'm Reserve Team A1's Medic Hibiscus, It looks Reunion got you pretty good." Hibiscus said referring to her (Y/n)'s bandaged up wounds.

Medic:"Reunion hounds. Mutts didn't get Doctor's cute face though! And that's what counts!" Medic said.

(Y/n):"Ehehe" (Y/n) said rubbing the back of his head out of embarrassment.

Amiya grumbled a little seeing this.

Hibiscus:"Heh Heh! Don't worry I'll take care of those wounds."Hibiscus said.

She pulled out a staff she was carrying, raised upwards towards (Y/n). In an instant, he was bathed in a green light for several seconds before it disappeared.

(Y/n):"...Hey....I feel better...How did you do that?

Hibiscus:"Nothing really, just a little arts to heal those wounds. Your not back up to 100% so I wouldn't move around too much if I were you Doctor!" Hibiscus said.

Fang:"If I may Hibiscus, Hello Doctor, I am Fang, Captain of Reserve Team A1. It's a pleasure to make you acquaintance." Fang said Bowing towards him.

(Y/n):"The pleasure is all mine Ms. Fang!" He replied to her.

Fang:"There's no need for formalities Doctor, Fang is perfectly fine. You've already met Hibiscus so that leaves us with the introduction to the rest of my team." Fang said turning towards her teammates.

The Girl with horns and Purple hair styled in buns was next.

Lava:"Hey Doctor...Name's Lava. I'm the Team Caster, I kind of didn't want to show up too much so don't expect to much from me." Lava introduced herself with a distant mood.

Hibiscus:"Don't Listen to her! She's my Twin sister! She was scared something might happen to me so she came along!" Hibiscus said happily.

(Y/n):"Is that so? I thought you two looked like you could be related but I wasn't completely sure about it." (Y/n) said.

Lava:"Sh-Shut up Hibiscus! You don't know what your talking about!" Lava retorted defensively.

Next was the Girl with glasses, holding the shield.

Beagle:"Hi, My codename is Beagle! I'm serving an internship with Rhodes island, I didn't do so well at my assessment but I'll still do my best with Reserve team A1!" She exclaimed.

Fang:"I know you will Beagle, and now that just leaves..."

Kroos:"Hi~Hiiiiii~ I'm Kroos~ I might be inexperienced, but I'll do what I can~" said the blonde girl with long pigtails on the sides of her hair.

(Y/n) cringed a tiny bit, this girl was cheery! But it felt a little off putting type of cheery.

(Y/n):"I see...It's nice to meet you as well Kroos. I'm sure we'll *Yawn* get along just fine." (Y/n) said, feeling a sudden inkling of drowsiness.

Kroos:"Doctor? Your getting sleepy too? *Yawn* I knew it wasn't just me!" Kroos said stretching her arms out, feeling a tad tired herself.

Fang:"Kroos, Don't rub your sleep effect off on the VIP. We need them capable of moving so we can get out of here."

Kroos:"Hey! I didn't do anything!" Kroos argued.

Hibiscus:"Come on Doctor! Wakey Wakey! We have to get back to Rhodes Island before any of us can get any proper rest at all!" Hibiscus said clapping her hands to startle (Y/n) awake.

(Y/n):"Huh! Uh! Of course! Sorry! Let's keep moving!"

Before anyone could say anything else, an explosion followed by approaching yelling, closer orders being given.

Everyone turned their attention to a street corner, the noise was coming from that area.

A few seconds later Yato and 12F appeared in sight from around the bend. 12F waving his wand to use his explosion arts and Yato issuing orders to the rest of her squad who appeared one by one into view from around the corner.

Yato:"Dobermann! Reunion closing in on us!" Yato yelled to everyone.

Lava:"Reunion again!? They don't know when to quit do they!?" Lava said annoyed.

Beagle:"I thought we wouldn't have to deal with them if we stayed quiet for awhile!" Beagle complained.

Dobermann:"Stow your complaints! Doctor (Y/n), Your orders?" Dobermann demanded of (Y/n).

(Y/n) felt a little put on the spot here but the approaching sound of Reunion Hounds made him shudder at another potential mauling.

(Y/n):"Everyone take defensive positions! We need to pull back out of here! Amiya, Where's the next rally point!" (Y/n) asked.

Amiya looked a bit surprised at the sudden boldness of (Y/n) but recovered shortly.

Amiya:"It's several blocks east, We can cut through these dilapidated buildings to cut down on travel time as well as try to shake Reunion off us!" Amiya replied.

(Y/n):"Lets do that! Come on everyone!" (Y/n) announced.

Everyone:"YEAH!!" They cheered and hurried into an appropriate formation.

They had quite a ways to travel still, not to mention a pursuer to deal with.

Just who will they encounter at the next rally point? Friend or Foe?
