Don't Apologize

Chapter Eight - Injured

3rd's POV

''What did you do to me?'' Dash Knight asked as he woke up. ''Just had to make sure you rest, you needed one'' Hyper Knight joked and Ultimate Knight chuckled. ''So, what about the three?'' The god asked and Hyper Knight hummed. ''We just found a teleport opener, we can open it'' Ultimate Knight said and Dash Knight nodded. The pulled few tiny levers and formed the teleport. ''Now what?'' Dash Knight questioned, looking at the portal. ''They will see it, and come in I hope'' Ultimate said and Dash Knight nodded.

Mintues later

They saw the three walk through the portal. ''Quickly, Lunar Knight is seriously injured'' Lunara said before anyone could react because they came. She let Lunar Knight fall on the sand, breathing heavily.

''What happened?'' Ultimate asked and kneeled next to him. ''We got attacked by an Desert Beast, we were all running and I tripped. Lunar Knight, he started to fight the beast until I got to my legs, till then he was injured'' Lunara explained and Ultimate Knight frowned.

''Get Ocean Knight here, he will help us'' Ultimate said and looked over to Dash Knight. He nodded and flew away quickly. ''Easy now'' Ultimate whispered and looked at his seriously injured friend.

''What about the beast, was it poisonous?'' He asked and looked at Lunara. ''Sadly, yes, it might be mortal'' She said with her head lowered. Ultimate asked nothing else and turned back to Lunar Knight. He gently pressed his wound and he winced quietly, not hacing energy for anything more.

A minute later Dash Knight came back with Ocean Knight. ''Oh, good you're here'' Ultimate said. Ocean Knight leaned next to the injured Knight and took a metal box. He opened it and the first thing anyone could see were vials with potions, a lot of them.

He took one of the vials and opened them. It had narcotizating smell that wanted to make anyone sleep. He took a soft piece of cloth and poured the potion from the vial on it. He slowly placed it on the direct place of the wound. Lunar Knight winced quietly, but in pain and placed his hand over the wound. ''Easy, it will help you'' The king* said and removed his hand slowly.

*Ocean Knight is the king of underwater city

Lunar Knight moved his hand away and Ocean Knight continued his working. Lunara was worried, he saved her life.

Flashback:

''Run'' She yelled as they were chased by the angry beast. Silver Knight panicked as Lunara tripped. ''Lunara!'' Lunar Knight yelled and stopped. He jumped on the beast's back and stabbed it slightly. Lunara got to her legs and looked at him fighting. ''Go!'' He yelled roughly as the beast threw him off. Lunara hesitated for a second and then moved.

Lunar Knight blocked the beast's jump with his sword. It swung it's paw and disarmed him. He groaned in pain as it stepped over his waist. He struggled to take it off him, but it was a heavy one. It moved it's paw ans roared in his face. He frowned and stabbed it's chest. It howled in pain as it's eyes were filled with rage.

''Oh damn'' Lunar Knight muttered as it growled angrily. It bit his arm and swung him around with no problem at all. It dropped him on a stone and he winced in pain. The beast scratched his chest deeply and bit his waist.

Flashback over.

''Lunara!'' Dash Knight yelled, jerking her back form her thoughts. ''Yeah, give me a minute'' She said and ran off. He shook his head and looked as Ocean Knight. ''Are you finishing?'' He asked nervously and the king shook his head. ''Not even close, you have to take him to medical bay or he will...die'' He said and stood up. Dash Knight nodded and Ultimate followed him to Lunar Knight. Ultimate's hand glowed in blue light as a rope of blue energy was gently wraped around Lunar Knight's body. He pulled his hand in as his body was raised to the air. Ultimate walked slowly and then looked at Dash Knight. ''Silver City?'' He asked and Dash Knight nodded. Two gods flew away quickly and aimed for the city.

Soon enough they got to the medical bay. ''We can't, we have something to decorate first'' A medical officer said and continued working. ''Decorate?! He is fatally wounded are you crazy!?'' Ultimate roared angrily and the Knight gulped. ''Okay'' He said and took his body on the medical bed.

The door of the medical bay opened as Lunara enterered. ''How is he doing?'' She asked in worried tone. ''He is very low on energy, many chances he will die'' Dash Knight responded and she frowned. ''Maybe he would stay alive more if you stop being a pessimist'' Ultimate informed and Dash Knight nodded slowly.

In the dungeons

''Nor Iv (Get up)'' The beast spoke and Extreme raised his head. He stretched his body and stood up, shaking his indigo purple fur. The light passed over him as he transformed in his true form. ''Wa essa? (Why)'' Extreme Knight questioned and pressed his neck. He winced in pain as the blood dripped from his fingers.

''Ae er yia'iv (I am bored)'' The beast said playfully and stretched it's back. ''Redl yigiv fe staely lyel (Can't help ya with that)'' Extreme Knight said and groaned in pain. He leaned on the wall and slowly blinked.

''Did you ever visit Realm of Aqua?'' Extreme asked and the beast shook it's head.

''You pass forward through the hefty portal that looked like a small pond before. You're immediately met by an ominous world. You're up to your knees in warm, murky water. The air is hot and humid, causing you to over-heat almost immediately. A barrage of the senses takes over as you begin to take in every element of this world you can.

Uncharted territory as far as the eye can see, but some things may be best left a secret. That world was unmistakably menacing, but your own world has plenty of pitfalls, there's no reason this one won't either.

Fairly nearby you see the silhouettes of beings so strange you almost feel like you're dreaming. While they show you little interest, you keep your distance just to be safe. You see traces of aquatic creatures, huge creatures, and what you think might be crawling creatures of some sort.

Strange as this world may be, you feel confident enough your supplies will last as you take your first steps into a world unknown. But, with a curious mind, a bag of tricks, and a bit of tenacity, you'll be able to create the first foothold in this world, that's how it feels to be in the realm'' Extreme said and smiled as he remembered how it was to him when he visited.

''You are right, my world has a lot of water, though I didn't see it long time'' The beast said and Extreme smiled.
