"Where's my pocket knife and scythe?" "You left them in the hall, remember?" "Oh yeah. I'll make sure to get them before we go outside." Hattori walked back in the hall and grabbed his knife and scythe and headed outside. He flagged down a cab and nearly collapsed in the seat after telling the driver to take him to the hospital.
"I've got to get to the hospital. These broken ribs won't heal like this." "Are you sure you're well enough to be walking there?" "I haven't got much of a choice, Nakim. I do have a little cash, so I guess I can hail a cab or something. Let's get moving."
Hattori started to get up. "Where are you going, Hattori? You still need rest." "Chill out, Nakim. I'm just getting some asprin. I've got a major headache."
Hattori woke up a short time later. "Have things calmed down out there?" "Not at all. If anything, things are getting worse."
Hattori struggled to stand up and staggered to the door. Nakim stood in his way. "Get out of the way, Nakim." "No, Hattori. You're in no condition to be going anywhere. You need rest." "And where do you suggest I do that? In case you forgot, there's a demon infestation here." "The nurses office seems safe. There's a bed and some medicine in there." Hattori sighed. "Alright, I'll go there. You have to keep watch though." "Understood." Hattori staggered off to the nurses office. Luckily no one was in the room. He laid down on the bed and quickly dozed off while Nakim kept watch.
Hattori used what was left of the gauze and wrapped his shoulder up. "Now what should we do, Hattori?" "We get out of here. I've lost enough blood as is."
That's cool. Crisis core was my favorite game in the series.
Hattori got to the door, but was attacked by two wolf demons. The first lunged and head-butted him in the ribs, which made him stagger into the wall and slump to the floor. Hattori threw his scythe and it caught the demon in the neck. The other ran at him and bit his shoulder, which made him scream in pain. Hattori pulled a pocket knife out and stabbed the demon in the eye. The demon quickly let go and yelped in pain. Nakim took the opportunity to envelop the demon in a sphere of water and suffocated it. "Took you long enough." Hattori said as he clutched his bleeding shoulder.
Nakim cast another healing spell to ease Hattoris pain. "How are you feeling?" "I've been punched into a metal railing, crushed and fell off a roof. I've been better. Let's get out of here before anyone shows up to bother us."
Hattori found a small roll of gauze and wrapped some around his chest. "That should fix me up for now." Hattori said before leaving the room, not even bothering to thank Mr. King. He slayed a couple of demons as he walked down the hall but soon found himself clutching his chest again.
"I guess you're right." Hattori said as Nakim finished his healing spell. Hattori got up and felt a sharp pain in his chest. "Must've broke a rib or two. Any bandages around here?"
"Why'd you bother to help me, Mr. King?"
Hattori kept falling down when he tried to stand. "Hold still, idiot. I've got to heal you." "Make it quick, Nakim." Hattori said as Nakim began chanting a healing spell.
"I've got to get out of here." Hattori said as he struggled to get to his feet.
Hattori threw his scythe and decapitated the other demon. He slowly got up and retrieved it, staggered and fell from the roof.
"Oh gee thanks." Hattori said before dispatching one of the demons. The other one ran behind him and punched him into the railing of the roof.
"So I'm not hallucinating from blood loss. That's a good thing, I guess. Time to finish this."
Hattori hit the ground and struggled to his feet and spit up some blood. "I'm either imagining things, or Mr. King just saved me..."
Hattori sliced off the left demons arm. Nakim struck out at the demon but failed to notice the other demon approaching Hattori. It grabbed Hattori and squeezed him in its hand, causing him to scream loudly in pain.
"Nakim, I could really use some help here...." Hattori said as he stared at two giant demons. "We'd be better off taking on one at a time. The one on the left looks weaker." "That's good and all, but..." "I'll keep an eye on the other one and let you know when to dodge."
