[IC] Operation Hell's Fury (War of the Scales saga #4)

[NacNak]

Magnus slowly followed behind Sieko as she carried Rachel to help, when Rachel was taken by the soldier Magnus felt something, relieved, he knew she'd be fine in the safety of the castle, Magnus stretched his wings out before he tucked them in so he could fit through the door to get inside, once he was in he made his way to the mess hall, when he got there he would rest their until daybreak
.
Spartan was in his room, in front of him a holographic computer, he was searching for any relevant data that might help them, then he got a call from a soldier
"is something wrong?.....What?..... I'm on my way...." Spartan said as he turned off the computer, he got up from his desk and left his room, he made his way to the infirmary, once he got there it wasn't long before he spotted Rachel, he walked up to her bed their were nurses there but they stood aside to let them talk
"hey, you all right?" he asked with concern in his voice, but with a serous look on him

[Lexzah]

Rachel had fallen unconscious in the time that the soldier had taken her in his arms to the time he placed her in the infirmary, unaware of thetime she had been out for and that she was even curled up in pain in an infirmary bed at first as she woke shortly before Spartan cam to visit her. He was worried about her she could tell that much but there was so much pain at the core of her very being it wasn't very often her angelic side was the one to try and take over her demonic side, it had thrown off the very delicate balance she had tried so, so hard to keep together.
"I-I'm fine"The hybrid managed to groan out in reply to Spartan "just a headache and a few arrow wounds is all" she continued as she tried to sit up, it wasn't jut that though she still had that holy magic in her system and then that mark on the back of her neck that she could feel was doing something to her.
Once she had sat up in the bed Rachel tried to leave it though she was very shaky, stopping to the pain but she was being to stubborn to stay sitting in that bed. Rachel had always hated infirmaries as she never really needed them before, she felt that being stuck in the infirmary made her seem weak.

Malthael looks to the three that take they're leave, they head towards the castle, Malthael tilts his head slightly before looking to the ground, he see's the blood that came from the hybrid, he slowly looks back up to the castle, then makes his way towards it

[NacNak]

Spartan slightly narrowed his eye's to Rachel's words, he knew she was tough, but that doesn't get rid of the fact that she's in pain, he can tell just from her movements, Spartan's eye's shined brightly for a second as he quickly scanned Rachel's vitals, having healed his team mate before, he knew what was "normal" for them, and Rachel's readings were out of balance, he spoke to her again, once again with concern
"Rachel, your not fine, your powers have become out of balance" he said stood beside her bed, on the h.u.d that he seen he looked over the 3-D scan he took of Rachel when he scanned her vitals, it showed him the location of the arrow wounds, and it indicated how bad they were, nothing to serous, but his scan picked up something else, the 3-D model rotated until Spartan could see her the back of her neck, it was some kind of mark 'that wasn't there before....' Spartan thought to himself before he turned around to face Rachel
"Rachel, that... mark, was it always there?..." he asked her as he tilted his head as if trying to see the mark

[Lexzah]

Rachel stayed sitting on her bed with a lowered head as Spartan started to scan her, still not wanting to have people worry over her and wanting to leave the infirmary as quickly as possible "The arrows that I was shot with here blessed with holy magic. It's giving a boost to my angelic side is all" she muttered as she cringed a little to a sudden pain through her body and her headache getting worse.
When Spartan mentioned the mark on the back of her neck Rachel lifted her hand to cover it, not looking to him but instead everywhere else not wanting to admit to the mark but she knew she had to "..No, no it wasn't" She sighed "I was given a visit by some dare 'friends' of mine" She spat out the word friend like it was poison "That group of angels who have been hunting me down my whole life. the leader he placed the mark there. I am unsure of what it is doing to me or why he placed it there instead of taking the chance to kill me" She shrugged.
Rachel felt another pain shoot through her and rather suddenly her wings were withdrawn into her back like she does when she hides them, though she didn't do this on will and the pain of it caused her to fall back down on the bed and curl up "Damn it, what just happened?" She questioned as she tried to summon her wings out again.

[NacNak]

Spartan's eye's widened when she mentioned the angels that were hunting her, he grit his teeth slightly 'if only I'd been there' he thought to himself as he narrowed his eye's slightly at this, then her wings, according to her, acted on their own, Spartan didn't know what to do, but he knew Rachel was in pain, the least he could do was relieve her of it, he held up his right hand, and from It green healing energy flowed towards Rachel and flowed over her body, in hope that it might help
"I have a feeling that the mark on you neck might have something to do with your wings acting up" he said as he remained calm, trying to think of what to do

[Lexzah]

"I think so to" Rachel muttered as she stayed in her curled position, the healing energy provided by Spartan did help but not completely as it was hard to heal the soul with technology "I know nothing about angel magic though. I don't know what it is doing to me" She whimpered.
Rachel waited for the wave of pain to pass her by and once it did she tried to sit up again, planning to head over to the castle library still not wanting to sit in the infirmary "I'm going to do some research" She told Spartan in a pained voice. as soon as she hopped off the bed though Rachel's legs gave out from under her and she fell to her knees on the floor, still weak from battle she had forgotten that she still had the holy magic in her making her body weak. She didn't give up though as she used the bed to try and get up to her feet again, wanting bad to find out what was happening as she didn't know how she would live without her wings, she had become so dependant on them to get her around and held her in tight situations.

[NacNak]

Spartan hated seeing a teammate let alone his friend like this, it pained him, yet she was so determined, he admired that, but even so, if there was an answer for what was going on with Rachel in the library, he wasn't going to stop her, Spartan started to walk with her but when she fell he cringed slightly, but even so she got back up, Spartan gave a soft smile as he walked up to Rachel and put her left arm over his shoulder to help her walk
"well then I'm going with you, it'll make up for me not being their to help you during the fight" he said with a smile as he began to walk, making sure he was going at a speed that Rachel could handle in her state

[Lexzah]

"Thank you Spartan, I want to get rid of this mark, if it can do away my wings then what else will it do. mixed with my unbalanced powers thing aren't looking to good at the moment for me" She spoke as she let Spartan help her "I have a feeling, that those angels want me alive rather than dead. I don't know what they plan but I do hope it doesn't distract from our main mission at hand" she continued looking concerned.
Many times on their way to the library did Rachel have to stop and let a wave of pain pass her by, and without Spartan she would be crawling to the large doors as she felt to weak to walk. it didn't take as long as she first though it would though as they were there quickly enough, she wasn't expecting the large amount of books though that lined the shelves and walls.
"Oh god, where so we even start looking? Would you know Spartan?" She asked glancing up to him, hoping they could figure something out before she passed out again from the pain for her two sides fighting each other.

[NacNak]

Spartan looked around to the books that surrounded them
"perhaps we could look for anything on angelic symbols, that'll narrow down the search" he said as he gently took Rachel's arm off him to let her look on her own
"you don't need to strain yourself, this shouldn't take very long" he said with a smile as he began to look at the bookshelves, he activated his jets and flew up so his eye's were level with the books at the top shelves, he then began to move to the left as he kept his eye's open for any books that seemed like they might help

[NacNak]

Stryder said
"Hmm, you're right...we should go.." He smiled, taking the liberty of sweeping her off her feet and carry her off to one of the guest rooms.

Amber blushed slightly to Kori when he picked her up, she gently hung her arms around his neck while he carried her
"Kori.... this is embarrassing....." she said in a somewhat flustered tone as she looked away from him slightly

Kori smiled in reaction to Amber's flushed expression, he never minded carrying her, in fact he thought the ways she blushed was cute. "I can set you down if you want.." He said with a small smirk, opening the door and shutting it behind him.

Kori's clone looked up into the mirror of his own room with a satisfied smirk, his eye color turned to s permanent crimson red. His hair color was a void black, he grinned a bit as he left the room and went looking for Archer's. Once there he knocked, waiting for her to answer.

Amber rested her head on Kori's shoulder with a light smile as he carried her inside their room
"......it's been a long day hasn't it?....." Amber said in a tired tone, remembering the fight for their home, that was now gone, though she was still upset/angry about it, she calmed down, knowing that they would avenge their kingdom eventually

Archer wasn't in her room, while the Clone was away Archer walked away, she wasn't leaving the castle she was following someone in the castle, it was a dark skinned nurse in a white Nurses outfit with a little hat, she held a small clipboard while she walked, she had a doctor's mask on, but Archer felt that the woman was familar and continued to follow her through the castle while staying hidden, suddenly the nurse walked into the library, she saw both Rachel and Spartan and approached the two looking at the chart. The woman spoke in a deep southern accent," Oh Miss Blackwell, ma'am when you dun skipped on out of your room, the doctor yelled on at me to find you, now little missy why don't we help you back to the infirmary, so the doctor can get back to doctor'n so he doesn't have to yell at little ol' me." She said to Rachel.

She said to Rachel.

"It's Blackwood" Rachel grumbled as she continued to search through the many books for what she was looking for "And I don't need to go back there, I'm fine now" She told the nurse in a calm tone, though Rachel was just putting on a brave face and using all her strength to look like nothing was wrong, the truth was that is she let go of the bookshelves she would fall flat on her face.
To try and prove that she was fine however without letting go of the shelves Rachel went to move forward, taking to steps slowly and steadily while keeping her eyes on that books to see if there was something there that could help "And you can go tell that doctor that I won't be returning, I've never needed the help of a doctor before to get through this and I certainly won't start now" She added still in a level tone of voice "There is nothing you can do to help anyway"
The hybrid stooped walking and took a book from it's place, it seems interesting and might hold some key to the mark on her neck, opening it and flipping through wile she continued to ignore the nurse. Trying her best to act and look strong in front of the woman so she wouldn't try to drag her off back to the infirmary, that wouldn't suit Rachel at all and she knew they couldn't help her nor did they need to, all she needed to do was rest and wait out her current weakness until her soul became balanced again.

[Spriggs27]

The nurse closed her eyes and cocked her head to the side,"Oh now Ms.Blackwood," The Nurse's accent disappeared and the voice that the nurse had was familiar," Why don't you like the hospital ? Honestly enough I'm surprised you didn't just kill over and died out there in that last attack, your lucky, but I can see that your wounded badly by what happened outside and you turn my help away that could possibly save you, well enjoy dying, I'm pretty sure it won't be painful and I'm sure it will hurt for a long time." the nurse said.

[Lexzah]

Rachel stopped for a moment as the nurses accent changed as well as her attitude, though deciding that it wasn't worth paying attention to the hybrid placed the book on her arms and continued her search "I told you before, I've never needed doctor's or infirmaries and I don't plan to start now. I can handle a couple of arrow wounds and what is happening inside is nothing that any doctor can help with" She told the nurse in a more stern tone, not bothering to look up from her book search.
Rachel though did look up to see where Spartan was at the moment, deciding to take her search closer to him encase she needed to call to him for help, she was really determined to not return to sitting in a bed for gods know how long. Finding another book that seemed like it would be helpful to what she was looking for, Rachel added that to the pile growing in her arms. Wanting to know if it was the mark left by the angel that was drawing her wings away and causing them to be difficult to summon if she was able to summon them at all at the moment.

[NacNak]

in Spartans arms were five books, really heavy big ones, all with old looking covers and angelic symbols, he happened to take notice of the nurse that walked in, he listen to her conversation with Rachel, he got a bad feeling about it, in case anything was to happen Spartan hovered down to the ground and continued his search for anything that might help them

[Spriggs27]

The nurse started to speak in a familiar tone," You know being nice isn't apart of the job I could be a real bitch ya know, I'm guessing your looking for some magical book to save your ass aren't ya ?" The nurse had a book in front of her clip board, it was pristine white and looked angelic, it had an angelic symbol on the cover and the Nurse held it up with one hand." Ya looking for this aren't ya, you big chump," She told Rachel.

[Lexzah]

Rachel stopped in her tracks again and this time she turned her gaze towards the dark skinned woman, eyes narrowing as her attitude changed to quiet the opposite making her seem very familiar. When the woman held the book up Rachel eyed it for a moment before looking back to the woman's face "Yes, yes I am looking for such a book, though I am unsure that my life is at risk at the moment though" She admitted.
There was something strange about this woman something so familiar but the hybrid was unsure what it was "Excuse me but do I happen to know you from somewhere?" She asked the woman who posed as a nurse "And if you really are interested in helping me then would you mind giving me that book? it would save a lot of time" She asked the woman as she turned to her completely. Rachel though was still using the bookshelves to keep herself from falling over and she could still feel herself getting very weak, she hopped that this didn't take to long.
