Space Ranger

Coma

It was supposed to be a very difficult mission and it was. Ludwig and Train stood back to back, getting ready for a fight. They were up against Sugar Pine 7.

Train was taking on Cib, James, and Alfredo, while Ludwig took on the others.

Cib grabbed Trains neck and slammed him up against the wall, squeezing his neck. Train clawed at the hand holding him until Alfredo and James restrained his arms. Train fought for a breath

Ludwig was so preoccupied with the others that he didn't even notice his partner was in trouble.

Train gasped for air as he fought against Cib but black dots danced across his vision.

Cib tightened his grip on Trains neck some more and watched as he passed out.

"Lets go," Cib called and SP7 retreated. Ludwig looked for his partner before he found him.

He ran over to Train and called for medical attention. Ludwig struggled for a moment to pick Train up.

He half dragged, half carried his partner to the dropship. He headed back to the ship and felt panicked.

He made it back to the submerged ship and watched as the medics took Train away. He just kinda stared in shock.

Wolfabelle came up to him and placed a hand gently on his back

"Ludwig..."

"Please tell me he's going to live," Ludwig whispered, scared about his partners fate.

"I'm sure he's gonna be fine. Go get some rest and get me a mission report," she said. Ludwig nodded and made it to his room.

He looked to the black bed next to his and picked up his tablet. He stared at the empty screen, not sure what to do

Usually Train would be the one doing the mission reports, he had never actually done them.

After staring at a blank screen he decided he needed to go see Train. He needed to make sure he was alright

Lexie kept him outside the medbay, despite his pleas.

"Lexie please. I need to see him," he begged. Lexie shifted and shook her head no. He tried to get pass her but she sidestepped

"Ludwig, you really don't. Not with the state He's in-" she started to say before Ludwig got even more panicked

"What happened? Lexie please!" He said and she remained firm.

"Ludwig-" she started to say and was about to scold him. He had enough and pushed her gently to the side and threw open the medbay doors

He gasped loudly at the sight of his partner. Dark bruises where Cibs hand had held him by his throat.

And oxygen mask was on him to help him breath, his eyes were closed and he was clearly still unconscious.

Bloody turned around at the sound of his gasp, eyes widening

"Ludwig, I-"

"Please tell me he's gonna be ok. Please Bloody," he asked

"We don't know the full extent of the damage, but for now he's in a coma," she said gently. Ludwig broke down then and there in tears
