"Ugh...sh*t" Yami clenches her head
She wakes up to everyone standing around her, including Prometheus, Zeus, Cipher, and Matteo
"YAMI, HEY, YOU'RE AWAKE, THANK GOD" Alayna hugs her, starting to cry
"How's your head?" Prometheus asks
Yami's body slowly adjusts
"Oh, I'm feeling just dandy, how about you?" She rolls her eyes
"Try not to move, Prometheus says you-" Flake starts to say
"Gotta-AH, SH!T, SH!T, SH!T, SH!T" Yami winces, reaching for her back
"-Have a broken back" Flake frowns
"Ohhhh, this is hell, I'm in hell, hooooo sh!t" Yami groans and grunts
"Look at the bright side, at least you can still move your arms" Lexia tries to comfort her
"I can't...I just can't stay in bed" Yami shakes her head
"You'll have to, maybe for a few months, even" Prometheus explains
"TROY CAN'T LAST A FEW MONTHS, I'VE G-NGH, SH!T" Yami tries moving again
"We can handle it, I mean, we got you out of that last planet, even if...this happened" Kyron puts his hand on his neck
"Look, I'm sorry, I just can't trust you guys to do this, you don't have enough experience" Yami shakes her head
"Hey, we're going to Forbidden Loop next, aren't we? Me and Zeus can handle that pretty well" Metal explains
"Still, you can't go anywhere without me making a portal" Yami explains
"D*mnit, she's got us there" Alex sighs
"Okay...okay...focus, breathe in, count to 10" Yami pumps herself up
"You're not actually gonna get out of bed, are you?" Jason asks
Yami slowly makes her way out of bed, biting on her lip to the point of blood starting to pour out
"Yami, you're hurt, I understand how much you want to help Troy, but you're in no condition" Mar frowns
Fifteen grunts
Yami manages to prop herself up against a wall
"...I've got an idea, but it'll suck" Alayna suggests
"Do it" Yami mutters, her eyes still closed
"Okay, be prepared, okay?" Alayna asks
Yami nods quickly
"Let's just get you back into bed, okay?" Carry approaches Yami
Alayna shoves her hands into Yami's back, pressing her spine together, clicking it together
"FFFF####CK, MMMMM, HOOOOHHH" Yami falls to the floor, clenching her fist tight, holding back her tears the best she can
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry" Alayna apologizes, fusing her spine back together
"AAH, AHH, HOH SH!T, NGH" Yami slams her fist into the floor
"Okay, it's done, it's done, are you okay? Do you need water? Rum? A bandage? Maybe some chocolate?" Alayna asks, helping Yami up
"IS THAT A F#CKING GHOST?" Carry shouts
"Okay...Okay...I'm good now" Yami rubs her back, wincing
"How...are you still standing?" Prometheus asks
"Don't worry about it" Yami takes a swig of whiskey, coughing right after
"Let's go" She opens up a portal, on the other end, the first official step to the revolution
"Good luck" Cipher wishes
"We will need it" Zeus laughs
"Let's just go" Yami walks through the portal first
After her, the rest of them follow, on their way to Forbidden Loop
To change lives for the better or worse? That'll be answered in time.
