"DOC!? DOC, OPEN THE DOOR!" Hajime roared as he hit the medical bay door repeatedly. Worry was beginning to set in his bones, dread swimming in his head the moment he heard the scream. Blood curdling, ear piercing. A sound that seemed to come straight from the very pits of hell. "DOC! I SWEAR TO GOD! OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!"

Using full force, Hajime started throwing himself at the door. Trying to knock the solid metal door off it's hinges. Grunting in pain with each turn. The security alarms going off inside the medical room with the threat of a breach.
"Hey!" A voice called out to the gorilla. "What ya up to, boss?"
Turning, Hajime came to face Jyugo. Straightening up, a glare took his eyes. Holding his throbbing shoulder, Hajime practically growled.
"What are you doing out of your cell?! I don't have time for you and your games!"
"Yeah, Yeah. Whatever." Jyugo waved Hajime off. Not shaken by his glare. A couple of seconds of silence, was broken as Jyugo remembered what he was there for. "If you're trying to get in there, I could help."
"I don't have tim- Hmm... actually- get over here!" Hajime ordered sternly. "Open this damn door. The doc could be in trouble."

Jyugo smiled cockily, sauntering over to the door with confidence. The moment his hands landed on the lock system, they became a blur. Within seconds the door was unlocked, alarm disabled and security procedures were down. Opening the door, both men peeked in cautiously. Hajime scanning the room for Otogi, While Jyugo's eyes glued themselves to Nadia's frame. Frozen to the spot in grief and regret as his eyes traveled her form from afar. He hadn't seen her in weeks. A sickening feeling built in his stomach as he barely recognised his friend. Teeth clenching in frustration at the blood dripping from her lips on to the white covers below. Flashes of her previous visage filled his mind. Her bright smile, gorgeous black hair, bright golden eyes. Flawless skin. Soft features. All gone. Replaced by something sickly. Something scary.

Not noticing he had made his way to her bedside, Jyugo jumped from his memories and nearly out of his skin when Hajime's yells finally greeted his ears.
"INMATE! GET AWAY FROM THE BED!"
Turning quickly, Jyugo found Hajime trying to support the Doc on his feet. Arm slung over his broad shoulder. Otogi knocked out cold, a large bruise forming on his head.
He's going to feel that when he wakes up. Jyugo couldn't help but think.
"Why don't you help me, instead of standing there like a useless turd!" Hajime ordered with a frustrated growl. Jyugo rolled his eyes, tutting silently as not to anger his cell block supervisor.

Before he could move, a hand gripped his wrist. Whipping round, he found Nadia had her eyes open... but they weren't the same eyes he remembered. They were now an deep, piercing silver. Shining menacingly. Her sharpened nails dug into his skin easily. Like knife to butter.
"Ah!" Jyugo yelped. It felt like the bone in his arm was being crushed to dust, the muscle in his wrist screaming in protest at the searing pain that spread like wild fire. "N-Nadia!"
A beastly smile stretched across Nadia's cheeks. Show casing her frightening teeth, turning Jyugo's stomach with fear. "You're not Nadia."
"Smart, I like that." The thing snarled with an unearthly chuckle. "What gave it away?"
"Let go of me! Where's Nadia? Give her back!"
"Why would I do that? She's given up."
"What?" Jyugo was confused. "Given up? Given up?! Give her back right now! Get out of her body!" Suddenly, the thing started screaming. Something out of a horror movie. Eyes scrunched closed in pain. Finally opening to reveal deep pools of gold. "NADIA!?"
"Jyugo?" She coughed heavily. "J-jyugo- please- help!" She screamed once again. Jyugo yelled in pain as the grip on his wrist tightened far worse.
"Nadia! Nadia! Agh! No!" A pressure began to build, forcing Jyugo to the ground. His shouts turning to screams of pain as her grip was forced to cut up his skin, deep in the muscle. Blood gushing from his wounds. He'd never felt anything like this before. It was horrifying. Painful.
"AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHhHhHhhHhHhHh! SHITTTT!!" He screamed, holding onto his arm with his free hand in an attempt to relieve the pain.
"JYUGO!" Hajime who had been knocked down by an unknown force, after he finally managed to stand. Dropping Otogi to the floor carefully, he gathered his strength and attempted to stand up. His venture mostly successful as he managed to stay at least hunched over under the pressure. Forcing his way towards the bed, his breathing heavy as he struggled to breathe. "RAAGGGHHH!" He roared with effort, forcing himself the final stretch, grabbing the girls hand, he tried to wrench it off of Jyugo with all his might.
"FUCKK!" Jyugo half growled, half shouted as he was pushed the rest of the way down to the ground by the immense pressure in the room. "Holy shit!" He whimpered. Jyugo's mind was fuzzed over in pain. Unable to register anything else. The corners of his vision going black.
"Ma... inma... inmate?... inmate? INMATE!" Hajime's face blurred in and out of existence. His voice usually so clear and deep, tuning out into a buzz. A low hum of noise. "Come on! Get up!" Jyugo could feel his body being hoisted over a shoulder. A swaying motion that made him feel sick. He was starting to feel dizzy and light headed. His senses failing him. He couldn't tell where he was.
"Jyugo?!"
"What happened?!"
"Oh no! Jyugo!"
The voices of his friends mere background noise. He could feel his eye lids become heavy like lead. Drooping open and closed slowly. Consciousness failing. He could feel himself slipping into the darkness. Light filling his vision in flashes. Noise turning to buzzing.
