It had been two days since the explosion that tore apart the mighty Fortress Hypertron. Two days since the bomb tore across the land, Killing Pigero and severely wounding Gramps, leaving him scarred not only physically, but both mentally and emotionally as well. His one comrade in this cruel world, the small child Pigero had died in his lap. Though old man Gohan didn?t hate the Outcasts army. This was a game, his lust for battle had cost him his friends life, and left him disfigured.
The bomb had torn apart the old humans reality, setting him back in his place on the totem pole, a low place at that. Though no constraints could be placed upon the elderly humans thrust for revenge. Though Gohan didn?t really believe in revenge, what he wanted to do could not even be in the same realm as avenging a friend.
Slowly the light inside the medical tent pierced the eyelids that covered Gohan?s eyes, the light burned and quickly he squeezed his eyelids shut. He placed his hand over his face to further shield himself from the light. After a few moments the old man tried to open his eyes once more, though it was not as bright as it had been, it still caused sharp pain to shoot through his face. ?Ugh? he left out a soft moan.
?Doctor!? a female voice sounded from in the enclosed room, ?I think he?s finally starting to come around!?
The doctor came over to him, though the non-transformer still had not opened his eyes to the world, only heard his voice. ?How do you feel?? by the voice of the doctor, it was clear that he was not young by any means, but one that could challenge Gohan in terms of age.
?It?s really bright, and the noises make my head rattle abit?? Gohan mumbled sarcastically.
?Well nice to know you still have a sense of humor.? the doctor chuckled. ?You got banged up pretty bad out there, I?m really surprised you made it at all.? He explained. ?Though with me on the team? well there was no doubt. These youngin?s don?t got anything on us old timers? he laughed again.
?The boy, Captain Pigero?? Gohan started ?He?s dead isn?t he?? sadness and anger crept into his voice, and his hand that was not protecting his face from the lamp balled into a fist. It was clearly obvious that he was cursing himself for not being able to save the young life from being extinguished.
?He is? yes? The doctor said hesitantly, revealing the bad news to his patient.
A tear escaped the old mans eyes.
?When can I return to duty doctor? I am a Captain in this army, after all.? He questioned.
?Well?? he began ?Shortly. We will just run a few more tests to make sure your alright, and then you can be added back to the active roster for Dante, though with limitations to what you can do, at least for a little while. You know, until you?re back to 100%? he explained to Gohan.
About an hour and a half later, Gramps lifted the curtain to the tent, exposing himself to the inside of the fortress that they had fought to take over, though not without the help of The United Army. The doctor had checked over the scars that not covered the old mans body.
The blue vest, which signified Gohan was a member of Dante, was slung over his back while he held it with two fingers. The top of his obsidian gi was undone, leaving his bandaged torso open for everyone to see. The elderly human had a much harder time walking than he thought he would have. His legs had become weak over the past two days, though no sort of atrophy had taken place.
Gohan hadn?t even gotten that far when the doctor came bursting forth from the tent, yelling for him to stop. The doctor was certainly not fast, and this agitated Gohan a little, he wanted to be alone, so he could reflect. Though some parts of Gramps wanted to just break down and weep. Though other parts still wanted to take off immediately and kill every remaining Outcast there was.
Finally the doctor had caught up with Gohan. ?Co-Commander Broli had asked me to tell you something?? he trailed off, panting heavily.
?Well? What is it?? Agitation once again seeped into the voice of the old warrior.
?Well you see, he says that he would understand if you didn?t want to partake in Conquest anymore?? The doctor?s eyes lowered, looking towards the ground.
It took Gohan aback, hearing the words coming from his mouth, and looked perplexed momentarily, though he quickly came up with a response. ?If I?m to be evicted from this god forsaken tournament, it will be on the battlefield. I refuse to end my stay here, here and now. I plan to fight, and I plan to win.? Passion filled the voice of Gohan.
Gohan simply turned around and starting walking off, ignoring any further pleasantries with the elderly medic.
OOC: Bam!
