Moonlight Tempest (Completed)

Burnin' Up

Chapter 35

Leon breathed deeply. He was sitting in Milo's Sick Bay and was restless. Fernando was still unconscious from the bullet he was shot with. Sam, Kari and Anya were also sleeping.

Leon wasn't sure what happened to those three. Sam and Anya were both conscious when they Transported to HQ. Anya was bleeding and had multiple wounds. Milo healed her and told her to rest. As for Sam...

Sam arrived with Kari in his hands. Zing immediately took Kari away and Milo escorted Anya to the Sick Bay. He was sitting on the floor and had a strange look on his face.

He had told Leon that he always kept his promises. Leon expressed his gratitude to Sam for saving them, then Sam suddenly puked. But not normal vomit, not even blood. Sam threw up a dark black liquid. Leon felt sick seeing it. The feeling he got from it reminded him of Dark Magic.

Leon went to help Sam, but Sam just said that he was hit. That the puke was just a side effect of Dark Magic. Leon didn't believe that and took him to Milo.

Now he was sitting here, waiting for someone to wake. He wanted to know what the Master was like. He hadn't had the chance to ask Fernando, but Leon was curious. The Master's voice itself struck fear into Leon, so what was he like in person?

'Was he strong? Or was he just bluffing?' Leon looked at his best friend. 'No. He's not bluffing. He tortured Fernando and did God knows what to the others. That man isn't someone to be taken lightly.'

Milo entered the Sick Bay quietly carrying a bottle of something.

"Leon. You should get some rest too. You've been sitting there for hours." Milo said taking the bottle, which Leon assumed to be blood, to the miniature fridge.

"No. I'm okay." Leon said shaking his head. "I just want to keep sitting here. If I want to sleep, I can sleep here."

"Okay." Milo said. He looked at the four sleeping people and sighed. "You must have been through a lot."

"No. Actually, the stay at that place wasn't so bad. There were a few things that were... Not ideal." Leon remembered Anya and the Dark Magic controlling her. "It wasn't so bad."

Milo nodded. "You found your friend there?"

"Yeah. He just arrived in the prison within the last few days because..." Leon sighed. He started to think about Sharon. How he didn't save her.

"Leon?" Milo asked concerned.

"You guys were busy yourselves, right?" Leon changed the subject.

Milo stared at Leon before answering. "Yes."

Leon nodded. They were in silence for a bit. Leon noticed how Milo was observing him. Leon tried to ignore it, but he couldn't stand Milo's eyes glaring at him.

"Milo, please stop looking at me." Leon said annoyed.

"Oh, sorry." Milo said blushing.

Sam started to stir. Milo went by his side at once.

"Sam!" Milo said happily. "How do you feel?"

Sam grunted as he sat up. "I'm okay now." Leon noticed the slightly green look he had on his face.

"Sam, you're still sick." Leon said.

"I said I'm fine." Sam said calmly.

"Sammy... What happened to you?" Milo asked. Sam looked at Milo for a long time. Leon knew he was deliberating with himself as to if he should tell Milo or not. Sam looked at the floor.
