'How on earth did this happen?' Doc exclaimed. He had been getting multiple frantic messages from Bdubs, who was in the HEP factory. Despite being Mycelium Resistance, Doc had rushed right for him.

'Doc- Watch out-' Bdubs managed to get out. Doc heard a growling, thundering noise behind him, and flew up just as the ravager charged at him. The hybrid landed on one of the rafters, while the beast paced below him. 'Oh. I see.' Doc muttered. The ravager hadn't noticed Bdubs, who had dragged himself atop a machine and was hiding. Doc swooped over to him, grabbed him, and flew up to an upper floor. 'How did you manage to-' Doc trailed off as he noticed Bdubs's injuries. He had obviously been headbutted and thrown around multiple times. His armour was banged up and dented. He had gashes all down his sides, and his ribs were broken. 'Bdubs!' Yelped Doc, crouching beside his friend and pulling out bandages. 'Doesn't it hurt?' He asked, removing the armour and poking Bdubs in the chest. He had no reaction.

'No?' Bdubs said. Doc shook his arm roughly, causing the cuts to bleed more, but he didn't even tense. 'Bdubs, something is wrong. You're bleeding out and not even reacting.' Doc pressed Bdubs down and applied pressure to his wounds. 'What happened?' He added.

'Ravager- I accidentally set it off.' Bdubs replied, surprised at the numbness of his limbs. He couldn't even feel Doc's fingers or the bandages.

'Wieso bist du so dumm und gleichzeitig so süß?' Doc murmured, tying a pressure tourniquet onto Bdubs's leg and dripping healing potions on his ribs. (Translation: How are you so stupid and so cute at the same time?)

'What?' Bdubs asked.

'Nothing.' Doc smiled lightly.

'Owwww It's starting to hurt now.' Bdubs writhed, wincing. 'Ow. Ow.'

'Want me to call one of the HEP members? Or the healers?' Doc was concerned. His shoddy work wouldn't hold for long.

'Noooo. They'll yell at me for being stupid. And at you for being here.'

'Yeah, but you might die! I need to call them.' Doc insisted, pulling out his communicator. Bdubs knocked it away. 'No, wait! Scar will be mad. You don't want that.'

'I don't care, mein liebling.' Doc kissed Bdubs's forehead. 'You are dying.' He picked up his communicator again, typing a message in chat. (Translation: My darling.)

<Docm77> Hey, any healers free? Bdubs got attacked by a ravager

<Keralis> The HEP ravager? Our ravager?

<Docm77> How did you...

<Keralis> We have an alarm. Omw.

Doc settled back. 'Keralis is on his way.' He hesitated. 'Stirb nicht, Bdubs' He whispered. (Translation: Don't die, Bdubs)

Bdubs didn't hear. 'Ohhh. Scar and Tango are going to be so angry. That thing is hard to reset.'

'Its alright.' Doc pulled Bdubs onto his lap, cradling his head on his metal shoulder. Below, the ravager snuffled and stomped around, still locked on them. 'Ich werde nicht zulassen, dass sie dir etwas antun.' (Translation: I won't let them do anything to you)
