*My eyes widen when I see how deep the Exterminator's cut Red, then narrow in fury* Leave us the fuck alone!! *I run at her again, slashing with the knife and drawing blood. I take a swipe at her wrist when she raises her sword arm, and she barely avoids the cut* NACK!! GET RED OUT OF HERE!!

*I narrowly avoid the new guys attack and counter with my blade, a straight jab intent to stab him in his heart or another vital organ*
You stay out of this.
* I plunge my sword towards him*

What's happening?! *I roll onto my side, propping myself up on one elbow and ignoring the pain. No one answers me, and one glance at the scene is enough to tell me why. We're really not taking this very well...*

*Nack's head snaps up.* I'm sorry, Arson. I'll be back. Just...just take care.
*Leaning partially forward, Nack takes off at a dead sprint towards the fray. Once he's withing reach, he slows, then weaves behind the exterminator, trying not to get involved. Leaning over, he slides his hands under Red.*
Just hang in there. You'll be okay.
*With a heave, Nack pulls Red into his arms, pivoting to avoid being within range of the exterminator. One last glance at his friends, and he takes off towards Arson. Red's been hurt badly, and he's not sure he can help too much with this one.*

*I quickly drop cerberus, draw my raygun and jump in between Gear and The blade. A searing pain goes through my stomach, nothing too bad...after all what could be worse than dying already? But the blade goes completely through. Blood trickles down the blade and i point my raygun straight into her helmet*
Blood for Blood.
*I grab her Helmet and angrily flip it off her head, intent on shooting right between her eyes. And then... a flash... my eyes go wide*
....Aerith.

(Nack! I finished inking the picture of you and Retro!)
*I wake up face in the dirt. This must be the fifth time this week. I moan and wince as each heartbeat sends a shooting pain through my skull. I slowly get to my hands and knees, coughing on dust, pain in my broken rib. I look around me and see only the sky and desert. I'm in the shade of a rock and the sun is high in the sky. Shouts echo behind me. I turn and look at the scene unfolding.*

*confused as to why he would throw himself into the sword then suddenly stop from his intent to kill me. My helmet goes flying and my long auburn hair flows out, my cold hazy blue eyes stare at him*
Hello, Dear.
*I Slowly pull out the sword from his stomach*

*Panting, Nack sets Red down next to Arson.* Look. I'm sorry, you guys. But...Red? This wound's pretty deep and I...I gotta fix it...*she looks away, trying to avoid Red's eyes.*
*Standing up, Nack walks over to an aloe plant. Bending the tip of one of the spikes until it breaks, Nack pulls it out. The tip pulls some fiberous strings with it, and Nack walks back over.*
I'm gonna have to sew you up. Uh...it's not gonna be gentle. But it'll help. *Attempting to lighten the mood, she smiles* Nature's needle and thread, you know.

Poison! *I'm horrified when I see the tip of the blade protruding from his back, but I have no idea what to do. I don't know what's going on between the two of them, but I do know that a sudden movement could kill Poison. I step back, trying to come up with a way to disable the Exterminator without affecting the sword's position*

*I watch Nack though the haze, barely able to concentrate. I kind of want to sleep... blue sky and then Nack is back and I see what she is going to do. I try to nod, but it comes out as a series of jerking movements. All I can see is the top of her head as she goes to my side, gently moving my hands out of the way. As she plunges the needle in the first sound I have made in months comes out of my mouth involuntarily. I scream*

*If I had any color left in my face it would have drained away when I saw Red. There was something wrong about hearing her scream, after so long with no sound of any kind. I crawl over as quickly as I can, dragging my leg. Regardless of her previous aversion to contact, I hold her hand with one of mine and brush her hair out of her face with the other.* Shh... you're going to be okay... *I'm not just crying for my own pain, now*

(I'M SO EXCITED, RETRO!! <3 <3)
*The instant Red screams, Nack pauses. Gritting his teeth, he continues the job, plunging the needle in over and over again until the gash is relatively smaller* I-I'm sorry, Red. *His chest heaves as he realizes what he's just done* I'm sorry. B-but you're better.
*Turning to Arson, he chances a fake smile* I could do the same to you, but I don't think you'd want it...

(AAAAAAAHHHHH!!! BECKY CLOONAN TWEETED BACK TO ME!!!)
*I cry out in shock when I see Poison get stabbed. I stumble to my feet and sprint as quickly as I can over them.* POISON! *Tears form in my eyes and only one thought goes through my brain. It repeats like a skipping record: not another friend.*

Wait! *I throw out an arm to block Retro's path* Don't make any sudden movements, or he's dead!

Yes, I'm still running - sort of. But it is lonely out here. Haven't seen anyone else for a while.
