"What just happened? Where the hell did they come from?" Ruby yelled in shock before falling silent as she noticed the severity of their injuries.
"Cough!" Jake jerked back, vomiting a copious amount of blood that stained his armor, and dropped to one knee from a temporary bout of dizziness.
His face contorted horribly from the pain and Ruby immediately noticed that his disintegrated left shoulder and torso were not regenerating. Worse, they wouldn't stop bleeding, a steady stream of blood spilling onto the ground. Using her own Myrghenian Eyes, she detected multiple strands of sharp energy swirling chaotically through his wounds and negating the clotting.
The two individuals Jake had just rescued were suffering the same torment, but although their wounds were less worrisome their condition was actually much more dire.
