Frenzy (REBOOT) (Pokémon Danganronpa)

Chapter 17: Library

THIRD PERSON

Any semblance of movement was abruptly shaken away from Galant's limbs. His eyes trained on the lying figure across the room as a pit formed in his stomach.

"Inu!" Galant found himself yelling at the top of his lungs, lunging forward to reach the fallen Infernape. The bladed Pokemon didn't know what else to do than stay beside the actively bleeding ape. "Inu...Inu...!"

The Umbreon still outside the room had to shake the shock out of his body and turn to begin yelling for a certain name. "Hydra!" He called out.

From the other side of the hallway rushed over a concerned Blaziken. "The fuck is going on?"

"Get Hydra here, please! I don't care what you think of him, just bring him!" Vanta ordered.

Zantai didn't bother to question him after the desperation in the canine's voice explained everything. He turned to bolt out of the living room and down a long hallway. After reaching the top of the turning stairs he was greeted by a taller jackal.

"I'm aware I'm needed, please take me there." Hydra exhaled after notably shifting some equipment he brought in a white bag.

The Blaziken didn't respond—at least not with words—and turned to run back down the stairs. Both he and Hydra quickly made their way down the hall and rushed to the corner to meet Vanta.

"Inu is severely injured in there...I don't know the status yet, but Galant might." The audibly stressed Umbreon motioned to the room next to him.

ZANTAI'S POV

After Vanta's warning, Hydra darted past me to immediately enter the room. Unlike him, I had to physically psych myself up before entering—seems like my brain automatically assumed the worst.

All my worries were proved correct the moment I stepped foot inside, the ungodly sight greeting me before the horrid smell of putrid blood.

Inu's body was sprawled around the large bed, the blood stains draining down the mattress and pooling on the ground below the bed. Galant was leaning over and holding her hand, and for a moment it looked like the Infernape was squeezing back...but her flame only grew weaker as he emotionally called for her to stay awake.

From what I could see, Inu's major wounds are on her back. Her chest is fine, but something is preventing her from speaking. I walked around the bed to get a closer look...and the sight shocked me.

There was a clean slice on her throat, barely not deep enough to instantly kill her, but deep enough to bleed and suffer from the wound.

Hydra did the best he could with a combination of his healing aura and actively patching the wound with his cotton-like equipment...but Inu's state was worsening.

"Turn her over!" The tall Lucario commanded as he managed to wrap her throat in a blood-soaked rag.

After Galant gently rotated the ape on her stomach, he was quick to take a step back.

"W-What the fuck, man..." I stammered under my breath. Her entire back was coated in stab wounds. I could literally see parts of her fucking spine!

This can't be real, this can't be real. I'm in a nightmare.

"I-I...shit." Hydra muttered under his breath and attempted to pressure the major cuts with dressings and gauze. From what I can tell, his main starting point of medical attention is cleaning the wound and using a healing aura to help the rags he places...but cleaning Inu's back currently looks like a nightmare. "Galant..."
