[ The last thing he remembered was the sensation of searing flesh. The sensation of his nerve endings lit up like a campfire, as a barrage of energy blasts tore through him like a hot knife through butter. The image was clear as day to him, burned into his mind as it happened. A couple of lifeless machines, gazing down at him, cutting him down with all the effort of an elephant stepping on an ant.

It happened in an instant, but to him, it felt like it all happened too slowly. Like he had been watching his own death in slow motion, the events so unreal to him, that it might as well have felt like an out-of-body experience. But no, being outside of his body would've been a blessing. Instead, he had been trapped in it. Brought back to the reality of the situation, as that searing pain made it all too clear to him that he was going to be meeting his dad soon.

And just like that, everything had gone white. Prompting Gohan to wonder, if only for that last moment, whether it was finally time for him to sleep.

Instead, his eyes wildly shot open, and his breath came to him in a sharp gasp. The fact that he was even capable of opening his eyes again enough of a shock on its own. For a moment, he simply laid there, his chest heaving painfully with each breath he took. But once the adrenaline that came with the shock wore off, his body made it a point to remind him of just how bad of a condition he was in.

The pain flared up the instant he so much as moved, with Gohan instinctively gritting his teeth as he did his best to stand up. The best he could manage was to wobble against a wall, the dizzy spell that came from standing up making it very clear that he was in no condition to move past that. But he obviously couldn't stay here, he needed to find Trunks, or Bulma. ]


N-Need to... move... [ He murmured to himself, bringing one hand over the stump that was his left arm. Completely missing (or choosing to ignore) the copious amounts of blood that he was both covered in, and losing. ] Need... t-to find...

[ He tried to take a step forward, not even bothering to look up to see where he was going. But that one step was as far as he got, before he toppled forward, and fell back down on the ground. Of course, he could feel the pain flaring up the moment he hit the ground. But at the same time, he felt so numb... that he wasn't sure he cared. ]

...Tr...unks...

[ He just wanted to sleep. ]

[ She tries to smile reassuringly at him, all the while shaking her head. ]

I-It's okay, really! I can make it back on my own, if he can't take more than one person at a time. I'll meet you back over there?

[ She gestures back in the direction of the Bastion. ]

[Fortunately, Paarthurnax has more patience than some of his kind tend to do, so he just gives a shakes of his head.]

"Fine" is not a term I would use to describe your state. You are wounded. She is not. Thus, the priority falls to you.

[ This ... clearly wasn't getting anywhere. Polka tried once again to shake her head. Nonono, mister, you are wounded and she is not! She can take care of herself! She is woobie, resetter of worlds! ]

Sir, please! I ... I know you probably feel obligated to make sure I make it to safety, but it's really okay! I've held my own in battle before and I know I can do it again!

[ And then Polka tries to put on her best stern face. Considering she's a tiny fourteen year old formerly sick and dying girl, though, it probably isn't as effective as she thinks. ]

Please, I know you're only thinking about what's best for me, but I promise, I will be fine. We need to get you medical attention as soon as possible, and the quickest and safest way to do so is to allow him to transport you there now ...

[Paarthurnax also agrees that this is getting nowhere, so he comes up with a very simple solution.]

There is her word. If you do not have faith in her, then, krosis.

[That's an apology, and the reasoning becomes pretty clear a second later. Gohan might very briefly feel large teeth up against his back, but they only brush. Excuse the giant dragon, he's just picking you up by the back of your shirt. Paarthurnax gives a slight nod to Polka and, if Gohan doesn't wiggle out from his clothes, starts to take off again.]

[ Polka couldn't help but giggle at that final message, and she paused long enough to call back to him before taking her leave to return to the Bastion. ]

I will be! I'll come visit you in the hospital to prove it to you!

[ She watched until they were high enough in the sky that she was sure neither of them could hear her, then started to run back in the direction she had come from. She had to stay true to her word, didn't she? ]
