Unable to handle the damaging sparks, the wolf finally lost form, its remaining essence pouring into the toy just to give more of a fighting chance. The smell of burning fabric hung softly in the air, a stimulus that made the child fear for the worst. Not the toy. That was the only thing she had. Though weak, she attempted to push herself up to a sitting position, putting her hand right on some shattered glass from the lights that had exploded before, an oversight of the toy who tried to drag her away. Though somewhat luckily, it didn't have the strength to go too far and causing some unwanted damage.

A spark arced close to her feet and she immediately pulled her legs in when she saw it. Her toes tingled, but she didn't get a full shock that time. She watched helplessly as the toy continued struggling. On its tiny paws sprouted a set of claws similar to that of the wolves. But it couldn't do anything else.

Oh, god, it was still alive. Marcus had hoped that the impaling would have killed instantly like in movies, but he missed and only cut out a chunk. Was that its blood? Oh gross. Trying to put it out of its misery, He carefully aimed for the neck.

Regardless if it survived or not, he ran out trying to put it out of his mind, locking the door. He just willingly killed something. Albeit it was in defense, but still. Trauma aside, He had to get to Kadasha.

Marcus saw her sitting, watching her toy fight the remaining Gerbil. It was huge now, what happened to it? The wolves were nowhere to be seen, and the Toy seemed to be her last defense. The first priority was to assist the Shaymin.

Running over, and with a yell, he swung the sword like a softball bat, the flat edge facing the creature, hopefully increasing the distance between it and the girl. Feeling awkward talking to the toy, yet determined, he commanded the Shaymin. "Go help Kadasha, I got this."

The creature died pitifully, its cries stopping even as the sword pierced its neck.

Back in the hall, Marcus hit the gerbil-creature like a croquet ball and it went flying. Surprisingly light for its size. The creature hissed angrily at the young man but turned as if looking for an exit. It was outnumbered, it was injured. This prey was no longer worth trying to take down. The creature turned tail and ran, sparks still flying off of it in every direction.

It would seem that the toy would have burst into flames if the electrical surge continued, but luckily, the toy's attacker was swatted away. Unfortunately, the toy was still gripping onto the creature when it flew off, and it crashed along with it, but it was cushioned by the monster, and his new claws dug deeper before it fizzled out as the toy fell.

The creature ran away, and the toy weakly got to its feet and limped back. But it was soon filled with a brand new energy when it saw the girl's bleeding hands, which she was holding up. She was shaking, looking at the cuts and some shards sticking out of her palm.

Unfortunately, his swing also launched the Shaymin, but thankfully, it was cushioned by the creature, dealing additional damage to the gerbil. Marcus considered chasing after it for a second, but logic decided against it. It was leaving, it had no tactical advantage, and his friend was lying in broken glass.

"Kadasha?" He called out. Kneeling by her side. he saw the cuts and blood, a lump forming in his throat. He was too busy looking for a light to protect this Young girl. "Does it hurt at all?" Reaching for her hand, he was going to inspect it, in case any important veins. Remembering her semi-mute status, he quickly added. "Nod for yes, shake head for no."

Hurriedly, he looked around him. If this was a hospital, where are the doctors, the nurses, heck, even the police department? Lights exploded, for heaven's sake.

Kadasha's hands kept trembling as the blood flowed freely from her cuts. The toy hurried up to her, suffering some cuts on its own body from the struggle, though it would be easy to fix. Unlike Kadasha's wounds.

Maybe it was from the numbness of the electric shock she had suffered that caused it or it was just her body not yet responding to the wound, but she didn't feel the kind of pain she expected, but she also couldn't seem to clench her hands.

Looking up at Marcus, beads of tears trailing from her eyes, she shook her head. Her jaw hung slightly open as her gaze turned back to her bleeding hands. Not knowing what to do, the toy just sat there, looking around if anyone could help. A doctor maybe.

That...that was a lot of blood, and it shouldn't be moving that fast. Not good.

"Hang on, I've got this." Still wearing his gloves, he left the sword there and picked her up. Maybe it was better to leave her there, In case she went into shock from blood loss, but honestly, he didn't care. There was still one of those things out there, and Kadasha would be easy pickings. Sure the Shaymin could have protected her, but for how long? "It'll be okay."

It was awkward, as his hand was still numb and she was hurt. But he persevered, and eventually had her back in his arms, her hands held away from his body. Taking slow steps, as to not shake too much, he went back in the direction they came from. He saw people there earlier, hopefully, they're still there, for her sake.

Kadasha felt worse off, and even when Marcus picked her up, she felt a bit cold and shivering. She couldn't get her eyes to look away from the wounds. A short memory flashed by her eyes.

There was panic all around her. She had blood on her palms. She had cut herself on her father's razor. The blood was only small, but a woman without a face seemed to grow frantic when she saw. Did she call out to her?

The cut was washed, covered by a strip of cloth and... kissed.

It was at this point that Kadasha started sobbing, but her face was frozen and pale.

The shaymin was running alongside Marcus. It couldn't get up to her at this pace, and trying would just trip the stranger helping them. All it could hope for is for her to be alright.

Left here. possible a right, three doors down. Marcus was trying to remember the path he took earlier. He could hear some noise up ahead, so there had to be people.

Bursting through the double, he startled the pair of nurses on duty, one of whom fell off their chair in the process.

"I need help," Marcus said, "These... things appeared, and we managed to fight them off, but she cut herself, and there is a lot of blood."

Without further action, the nurse that managed to stay in her chair called for a doctor, while the other had left the room.

Though he was trying to remain calm, actually explaining the situation to someone else had shown the panic in Marcus's voice. Kadasha was deathly pale, and cold to the touch, and He was very clearly worried. She had just woken up, and this happened?

The loud sound of the doors being burst through snapped Kadasha back to her senses. She took a quick glance at the room and saw the nurses running about. She felt sleepy all over again. One of the nurses ran outside and the other was calling a doctor.

The toy followed the pair immediately looked for someplace where Kadasha could sit. It jumped onto a stool and then onto one of the hospital beds. It squeaked at Marcus to put her there, even jumping in place to get Marcus' attention. Seeing the toy so far from her, Kadasha weakly reached out and whined helplessly.
