"Well it took so long to get this thing on I got here too late for the fight. Like, I really wanted to test this thing out," the robot said before the it raised the front of what looked like an old knights helmet. Inside was Pacifica. She had several electrodes attached to her head. "Alright I was told someone here was hurt, who is it?" She stopped as she saw the wooden Tony.

"What happen to Tony?" Pacifica asked wheeling on Wendy as she did so.

"He was about to fall into the stream. I had to turn him into wood to save him.", Wendy said as she saw Nate start to collapse only to be held up by Grenda & Lee

"Sure you did," Pacifica spat out, not noticing what's going on behind her, "then why haven't you tried to return him to normal?"

"'He's soaking wet, if I changed him back now he'll melt anyways and all of this would be for nothing.", Wendy said calmly, as she almost forced her way past Pacifica. "Right now we need to get Nate some medical attention and then we need to get Tony back to the Shack to dry him off."

Pausing to think about it Pacifica had to admit Wendy had a point. Heading over to Nate she flipped open a panel on the upper pert of her left gauntlet. She tapped at a few buttons and a green wave pulsed over his body. "His body is fighting off some sort of slow acting nuero-toxin. So far his heart rate and breathing are still stable." She stared at the projected readout some more and then spoke, both to the crowd with them and those back at the Shack, "According my systems, it will act faster if he continues to fight it. I think he needs a sedative. Anyone know if he has any allergies?"

Lee shook his head and she hears Tambry say over the line, "I'm looking. Not finding anything in his records, don't ask me how."

Pacifica reached down and a panel opened along the left thigh of the armor and she pulled out a small syringe. She looked softly at Nate and spoke, "Like, this may hurt for a moment." and then she gave him the shot. "Melody, I'm gonna be coming in hot. Have someone ready to drive Nate to the hospital. I'll send a relay of the readings ahead, we'll figure out a reasonable story along the way."

"Lee get the paintball gear off of him. A cut through a shirt is one thing, trying to explain what was able to do it through the paintball padding is another matter all together." after he got the chest pad off of him, she scanned him again to see how bad the possible blood loss was. Remarkably his blood pressure was fairly regular and the bleeding from the chest wound seemed to already be slowed down. Closing the mask she bent down and gently picked him up. "Alright guys I'll be back." and she lifted off heading back towards the Shack.

"Alright guys, we still need to get back to at least the Humvee. We'll take turns carrying them," Wendy said pointing to Tony and the basilisk. She walked over to the stone Leshy and picked up the tracker and then tapped her ear bud. "We're heading towards the Humvee, be ready to help if we need it."

"Sure thing, dood." Soos replied.

They laid Tony and the basilisk on Nate's shield and using some vines to make longer straps. They then each slipped the straps over their shoulders, with Wendy taking Tony's shield. She and Lee took the first length of the trip carrying the load, while Grenda took lead.

Mystery Shack 2:50 PM

"Alright Pacifica, Melody has her car ready. She's gonna tell them that a customer brought him into the Shack saying they found him while on a hike.", Tambry said as she was tracking the movements of both the CHARGE unit and the tracker Wendy and the group had picked up. "Wendy and the guys have started to head toward the Humvee, but they are moving slowly since they're carrying Tony. I'll send you their location after you are back in the air."
