We got Nightmare and Zephyr from Bellatrix and Hollow, who had called us to this old underground bunker. 
Both males were genuinely fucked up, Nightmare didn't even react anymore. Deep red blood ran down his body, creating a puddle at his feet. We had to get them home fast, I was worried we'd genuinely loose him. 
Jura got Zephyr, letting the man lean onto him. Hollow watched closely, reloading his gun just in case. He was very tense, but kept a surprisingly cool head. Bellatrix kept treating Nightmare, silently bandaging up his fingers. Nighty flinched a lot, letting out small whimpers. She mumbled something every time, seemingly feeling bad. He was heavily leaning onto her, panting tiredly. Nightmare was broken, clung to his last remaining nerves tho as if it was the last cock on earth. 
"We need to leave.", I eventually said, tense. Jay nodded. "Definitely. A few of us should head inside tho, maybe we can find some plans or something that would indicate what that dragon is doing, or what she has to do with all of this. There's no way her hands are clean after this sort of torture, especially not at this brutal one. Also we need to find out what happened while they were there, the wounds don't look good." 
"She used poison on Nighty, so look if you can find out what that is too...", Zephyr added to Jay's commands. He nodded again, running a hand over his fingers as he counted. "So... We need to find out what that poison is, figure out the antidote, find plans of something that can indicate her entire reasoning for this, and why she wanted to get rid of Nightmare. Additional info on the dragon, and possibly retrieving whatever we can...", he mumbled more to himself than to any of us. Then he took a deep breath. "Alright. Bellatrix, Hollow and me will head inside. Everyone else goes home." 
I protested immediately. "Oi, I'm not going home without you!!", I said. "I lost you once, I don't need that to happen again. Either we both go in, or we both go home." 
Jay eyed me and sighed deeply. "No-" 
"Don't say no!" 
He groaned softly. "Notch, you're going ho-" 
I cut him off with a loud growl, making him pause. He saw how serious I was, and knew that I was a hard-headed bastard with a loud mouth and barely any respect if the situation called for it. He knew that, if he sent me home, I'd follow him anyway. 
This put him into a predicament he absolutely hated, but heavy-heartedly agreed. "Fine.", he gave in. "But you better not get injured." 
I grinned and gave him a nice kiss on the cheek, happy. "Great! Let's go then!", I agreed and was about to march inside when Hollow stopped me with a question. 
"Why do you want us two to head inside, at any point we can turn around and kill you two, you have no reason to trust us?" 
Jay eyed him before chuckling. "You're carrying a Glock-17 with a silencer, an extended magazine and special bullets. Around your neck is a so called dog tag with your status and rank. You are, or were, a leader of a battalion, a lieutenant colonel. Due to your attachments on the weapon you are carrying, you were an important person in a war you fought. You seemingly prevented the defeat. And, since you're carrying your gun and the dog tag, you laid down an oath to protect everyone that's in danger with your life. You seem to be a man of honor, so you'll do exactly that. Same with your wife, however she only has a dog tag. She is carrying a war axe, so she was a spy. Her body structure and overall demeanor suggests that she seduces her prey and gathers information before killing them without anyone knowing. And probably a sniper as well, she can easily blend into dark shadows.", he calmly explained. Hollow and Bellatrix just stared at him, seemingly speechless. "I'd have to know, I was in an army too. A general, to be more exact." 
Hollow sighed after a while. "Then do as you please. Knowing that you are aware of the oath we had to put down forces us to listen. Lead the way, we'll give you backup.", he eventually said. 
We went in then, Bellatrix handed Nightmare over to the others before coming as well. They went home as planned, so Jay lead this operation as we went back inside, being told where to go by Hollow. He seemed to be aware of how this bunker was built, which was good. 
I looked around, gripping the knife at the back of my belt. Jay was ready to always pull up his magic if necessary, Hollow had his gun out, and Bellatrix casually strolled after us with her axe. 
The heavy smell of blood and other bodily fluids filled the air, making me cringe heavily. This was disgusting... Everything was insanely quiet too, so this was even more scary. 
Eventually we stood in the main torture room, and immediately saw the blood and ripped out body parts. I tensed a bit when Bellatrix growled. "Where's the bitch we just killed?", she asked sharply, raising her axe to a defensive position. 
A big puddle of blood was right in front of us. There was no corpse, so we all got ready for defense. 
Then something started to glow green in the distance before it got closer, much faster than I expected. A sharp pain shot through my chest as I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. My breathing paused and I heard Jay gasp in shock. 
"Hello, brother~" 
I stared at Sylvie as I felt uneasy on my legs. She grinned as I held onto her cloak, trembling. The green glow got much brighter and I paused when the familiar buzzing sound filled the air. 
I'm so sorry Jay, I should've listened to you. 
I teared up and glanced over to him. He already was about to yell for me to get away, to try and step in. 
Forgive me... 
"I'll see you on the other side." 
Jay yelled and reached out, but I teleported them out. 
Then I closed my eyes and embraced the sweet relief of death as Sylvie's core finally exploded. Darkness came over me as we were torn to pieces and scattered all around the room.
