Alice and Ziggy looked like Hell as well. Walking with them, Ziggy held up his sister as his body restored itself. "You gonna be ok, sis?" She nodded, not finding the energy to speak. It was hard seeing everyone like this, but Ziggy knew that some of their biggest threats were now gone, at least some of his and Dusk's biggest threats. As for the others, he didn't know.
Kalore was behind, fixing his bow. He wasn't noticed much, but if they would have looked closely, spectators would have seen arrows embedded into Elke's body. The man never missed. Rising, he turned and went up to where Dusk was, but didn't enter the room. Instead, he knocked and said, "Elke's dead." Without another word, the male walked down to the foot of the stairs and sat there. Nothing was going to get by him until Rave came down and gave the ok.
"I know enough, Cecilia..." Eldin was still working on Talon, but it was saddening to hear the conversation between Dusk and Rave. The young boy knew that the older male wasn't being cold, in fact, the dark haired man was being almost kind to Dusk. It was just that he didn't take the normal standards that one took to help someone. There was no sugar coating things unless they actually needed them with Rave.
"Really? You know enough, Rave?" The boy was once again forgotten. "Then tell me this. I'm stuck caring about two people the same amount and the same way. One of them in dying, and I can't do anything. The other might as well be dead to me because he doesn't care one bit about me because I broke his heart. Tell me what I'm supposed to do about this, Rave!"
"Simple. Face it."

Kyoshi remembered the way they first had entered and went in that direction, craddling Gambler like a little child, closely to his chest. Joker was behind almost done with his work. Sure it wasn't right leaving but he was pissed off, his wings were not all there, Gambler might be dead, Joker might be almost dead, Monty wasn't dead and he just did the stupidiest thing he has ever done. Dusk did love him and that was fine by him. At least she would find something more and better in Talon than with him. Plus Talon was elf. Seraphs and elfs don't mix. He's first concern now was to get Gambler help.

Ziggy was at his best now, carrying Alice better. "Hey..." He spoke to her in elvish. "Do you know anything medical, sis?" She nodded, but barely. Sleep was beginning to claim her. "Do you think you can heal Gambler after I fix you up?" Alice was in bad shape, but no where near as bad as Gambler. Looking at the other woman, Alice shrugged, but grimaced as her shoulder burned with pain from the motion.
"I can try. No guarantees."

Kyoshi's fast pace had them outside in no time. Joker had finished and put the needles away in case he needed to stab somebody. Joker was usually mild-mannered but Gambler was hurt. His boss was hurt. That didn't roll by him at all. They knew where to go. His place so he could treat her and Kyoshi.

Ziggy sighed and split from the group, heading off to the Hide Out. Getting in, he was greeted by James and Ali. "What happened to Miss Alice?!" Ziggy told them what all happened, and both kids looked at him with wide eyes. "Sissy..." Ali was crouched, pain overcoming her. "James, her Ali out of here. Kai, protect the kids. Take them to the park or something." Kai nodded and they were off again.
Setting his sister down, Ziggy began working on her. Joker would have done a much better job, but the boy knew that Gambler was the priority there. His was his sister, and then Dusk. They would go back, and they would make sure that she was ok, along with the others.

"Holy-" Monty splited curses out about all the holy people and unholy people and a few in between. They had just arrived at Joker's place and put Gambler in the room Kyoshi was in before. They cleaned her up and Joker did his magic. Kyoshi just stared at her. His wings didn't heal yet and he didn't put them away. Gambler had lost way more blood than first thought and looked paler than death. "At least we helped Dusk out." Joker said. Kyoshi then looked at Joker. "Don't ever mention that name in front of me." He said softly. That startled Joker and Monty.

As Ziggy worked on Alice, Kai worked with the kids, and Rave worked with Dusk. Many things going on at once, but all involving the same thing. There were problems that needed to be fixed. Ziggy was helping Alice tremendously, but Rave wasn't getting close to Dusk.
"Cecilia..." "Don't, Rave...just...just go." She turned her back on Rave and walked to Talon. "Is he going to be ok?" Eldin nodded, "Y-Yes, Princess." Dusk sighed and kneeled by him, cradling his head. "Tal..." Rave sighed and turned around, walking down the steps, his boots making soft padding sounds on the glowing steps.
Looking up, Kalore gave a hopeful look, "Well?" "Talon will be fine, Eldin is doing a fine job. But...Cecilia is...she's lost now."

"Both of you out." Kyoshi ordered the other two and they left with last looks and closed the door. He knealed closer to Gambler. He did his part and helped heal her. It was what comrades do for each other. "Listen, Gam. I'm taking your third choice. After you come back from the dead, I'm leaving for better jobs and to heal my wings. It'll be another long time before they get better. I'm sorry to put you through this." He was. He just remained quiet, praying for the first time in many years for guidance and for Gambler to return to health. He was all messed up that if he was anywhere near these people he would surely snap.

Rave and Kalore waited for Eldin to come down. When the boy did, nothing wzs said. All they did was track the others, Kalore had told them how bad of shape Gambler was in, and Eldin stopped by his old room to get some more medical supplies. "I...I might be able to help..." Rave just stayed silent as he tracked the others. Coming into Area 6, they were near where Joker was. Entering, Rave softly tapped the side of the wall, watching Joker and Monty. Eldin and Kalore looked amazed that such an area without anything wild life included could exist.
It seemed as if no one had anything pertaining to good news.
Dusk was sitting in her room, waiting for Talon to get better. "Tal...I'm sorry..." He opened his eyes a crack, "Don't...Don't be...Dusk..." And that made her feel even worse.

Joker looked up at the elfs that arrived. Monty grumbled something. He figured that these three guys were new recruits for their little group. "What the hell was Gambler doing over there? She brought three more guys." Joker shrugged. "Gambler does what Gambler does." Monty thought for a moment and then nodded. It was a true enough thing to shut him up. Joker looked up. "You can't go in. Kyoshi refuses anyone from entering." He said with a hint of annoyance or impatience.

Eldin played with the end of his shirt, "Um...when we can go in...I healed Talon and I might be able to help with Miss Gambler..." The poor boy was a nervous wreck, but his medical skills were matched by very few. Kalore just kept looking at everything, amazed that there weren't any trees or anything around. Rave just nodded. "All right." He looked at the others.
"I'm afraid we don't know your names, gentlemen..."

Joker looked at them wide eyed. "Oh dear. Where are my manners? I am Joker the insane one. This is my brother Monty the weapons expert. The one that is named Kyoshi is in there with Gambler. What are your names?" He asked with politeness. Never would anyone think Joker was insane at the moment with that politeness.
Monty grunted. He walked into the room and slammed the door shut. You could hear the loud voice of Monty through the walls but it was muffled. He walked out leaving the door open for the elfs.
Kyoshi didn't walk out. He was angry at Monty but if there was help for Gambler then he had done all he can. He sat at the otherside of the room, were it was so dark you could barely see. He sat with his back against the wall. He's wings weren't tucked away but were tucked on his back.

Rave spoke, the habit of being a commander still slightly controlling him. "My name is Rave, Rave Elsina, that is Kalore Marcessa, and this is Eldin Seru." Eldin looked slightly nervous from the loud shouting, "Um...is everything going to be ok?" The young boy looked at the open door, the darkness scaring him slightly.

Monty jerked his thumb over his shoulders. "Everything is going to be fine kid. Just go in there and do your stuff." You had to respect the fact that Monty never stopped to chat. He's the get to the point guy.
Joker nodded at Rave. "Everything is going to be okay little one. Just go in there and don't be frighten." He said. Then Joker did his infamous twitch and smiled at the group.

Eldin nodded shakingly and took a few steps, but looked at his commander to make sure what he was doing was ok. Rave sighed and walked in with him, "Come on, Eldin. Let's get to work." When they got in, Rave shook his head, his new boss was fading, and it looked bad. But Eldin was an amazing healer, getting better all the time. Pushing Eldin to her, the little boy nodded and went to work, using elven remedies and cures that almost always worked.
"...Sir...A few old spells may work..." Rave nodded, "Kalore may do that, I don't know enough to do any good for medical uses. Just work on her for now." He glanced at Kyoshi. "Would you like him to help you, as well, sir?" The Commander recognized the man from before, but he looked horrible at the moment.
Kalore was looking around still, "There's no trees...no glowing meyalcos... So odd..."
