(Y/N)'s POV

"Damn it!" I cursed myself. If only I had caught on sooner, I could've warned them! I recognized that man. He was the one who introduced me to Drakken Joe in the first place. Back when I met him, he was just a guy looking for work like me. Sure, he was grumpy but he was cool. Now, he's a part of Drakken's special forces, the Element 4. I had no idea a team like them existed. But they must be strong for them to be close with the Dark Alchemist.

Currently, Weisz was fighting him. I was getting worried because his Arsenal suit was close to shutting down and Laguna's water was not letting up.

"Damn it! What do I do...?" I hear him say in frustration. Lucky Hermit came in with a plan to help him. "The cooling system. Activate Arsenal's cooling system, maximum output! You just have to modify the pipeline. No problem, right?!"

"Right...Assembling...Moving the cooling system to the arms!" The water was now freezing in its place and then it broke. Laguna was shocked but Weisz wasn't finished yet. He ran to the blue haired man and punched him with Arsenal's large metal fist. Laguna fell down after that, and showed no sign of getting back up.

"Thanks for the help. And (Y/N), you couldn't have mentioned that sooner?" He smiled. I shook my head and grinned, "give me a break. I didn't know what he was planning. But good job, Weisz!"

"Yeah. Now..." He walked up to the unconscious man. "You're gonna change my friends back...What?" I heard a piercing sound, then Weisz coughing, followed by a body-dropping thud.

My throat tightened in fear. "Weisz?!"

"What's wrong?!" Hermit asked, typing away at the screen.

"Was that...a gunshot?!" Rebecca questioned. "Weisz!" Happy called out.

Hermit was still frantically trying to reach him. "Weiz! Answer me! Is everything okay?!"

🏴‍☠️

Shiki and the others were freed from their water prison and woke up to an injured Weisz. The culprit was a sniper who tried to take out Shiki as well but failed. In the end, Sibir helped them escape before another fight broke out...or something worse.

"...so Weisz is in serious condition! He needs help right now!" Shiki finished explaining to us through the screen.

"No way!" Rebecca gasped after being filled in. She couldn't believe someone with that power could do that, or that Weisz was in dire need of help.

"Hurry back!" Happy said.

Homura voiced the problem. "We want to, but the dock is sealed off. And they know our faces. We cannot move from this place." Pino added, "It's impossible to give him sufficient treatment here. But if we don't do something, Weisz will..."

Hermit understood. "Okay! I will send Sister down to you!"

"Please hurry!" Shiki screamed before Hermit turned off the screen.

Rebecca leaned over Hermit's shoulder. "But how will we get her there with the dock closed?" "It looks like there's another entrance. We'll just smuggle her in through there."

"If we're sending Sister down, then I'm coming too! I can get us inside faster, I'm good with sneaking in places." Witch nodded and reached a hand behind her ear. "Did you hear that, Sister?"

"Yeah, but I'm still integrating this brat. (Y/N), you gotta take them some medicine instead."

"Got it!" I turned to my blonde friend, "you guys coming too?" "Of course!" Rebecca said, looking just as worried as I am. "But...what does she mean by 'medicine'...? Weisz was shot wasn't he?"
