《Knives For Hands || John Connor》iii. The Hospital
Advertisement
john paced back and forth in the hospitals waiting room. something was shady here. strange people kept walking in. strange people with strange bags that were probably filled with even stranger things. he just wanted someone to come tell him that she's alright.
a nurse walked in and called, "john connor?" his head snapped up and he practically runs towards her. "what are your relations to (y/n) (l/n)?"
he looked to the ground; he racked his mind for any lie that could get him to see her. he could say brother, but the idea of that made him feel weird. he decided on the truth. "i'm a really close friend. please, i need to see her."
"i'm afraid that's not possible. she just came out of a serious surgery and no one can see her now." the nurse said, void of any real empathy, and left.
he vaguely wondered why (y/n)'s parents weren't here. shouldn't they be the first to be called in a situation like this? he came to the conclusion that they were alike more than he'd originally believed. with that, he sighed and sat to wait again.
ꫛ
(y/n) shot up to a seated position, rapidly looking around. is she dead? she began to panic as she vaguely remembered the last hour. she was shot. so, she is dead. oh shit.
she looked down only to realize she's in a hospital gown. she made it to the hospital. with a bitter and airy laugh to herself, she lowered her hand to touch her stomach. the gunshot wound was gone.
an old doctor came in and began to speak in a heavy accent, "hello, miss, i apologize about the taking so long, but, uh, you've undergone a serious experimental surgery."
"what the hell do you mean 'experimental surgery'? what did you do to me, you asshole?" she barked. she felt the tightness in her chest begin, and her vision start to swim.

"please calm down. just let me explain. you just went through a vessel transfusion." he explained, as if with that it made complete sense.
"what the hell is that?"
he sighed and continued, "you're no longer human, miss (y/n). we've transferred your being into a high-technology robotic system. it was the only way to save your life, despite it being a gamble itself."
her world began swirling around her. her brain went into overdrive with all the information she'd been given. that's impossible, she thought as the ground suddenly rushed up to meet her.
ꫛ
she needed to come up with a plan to get out, but she'd never been one to think things through. without bothering to think about what she was doing, she repeatedly slammed the button to call a nurse to the room.
"what is it, miss (l/n)?" the nurse walked in to see the bed empty. she took a few more steps in and called, "miss (l/n-" the nurse collapsed.
there (y/n) stood behind the fallen nurse with her food tray raised in her hands. she closed her eyes, let out a breath, and shook the nurse to make sure she was out. she frowned as she looked at the woman, mulling over potential plans. one involved impersonating the nurse, but that seemed impossible.
she felt queasy all of a sudden, closing her eyes. after a moment, she opened them again and furrowed her brows. she seemed taller. she went to go see herself on the mirror placed to the left of her hospital bed, and gasped. she was the nurse.
panicked, she picked up the nurse lying on the floor and hoisted her onto the bed. she covered her up so at first glance it was just a sleeping girl. she stared at the bed for a moment, deciding to go with the impersonation. with a nervous sigh, she straightened her posture.

her heels clicked unevenly on the tile as she made her way down the hallway. as soon as her eyes landed on john, she bit back as smile and approached him as the nurse would, confident and uncaring.
"john connor?" she asked, trying to cover up the shock in her expression as she spoke in a voice that isn't her own.
"yeah?" his eyes flicked up to meet hers and she just wanted to run to him. she wanted to tell him she was alright and that she missed him. but she didn't.
"i think me and you should have a talk." she could see the expression in his eyes flicker to dread. she turned on her heels and lead away.

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
