The Tessaract re-eshtablishing control over Loki's mind, his eyes returning to the blue hue. Despite this, Loki himself wasn't faring nearly as well. Feebly reaching for the staff, Loki grabbed hold of it and began dragging himself along the ground towards the mountains at a snail's pace, dragging the staff along behind him. He tried to contact Rita it was time to go, but was to mentally strained to establish a connection.

Once the ambulance arived at the hospital, the gurney was rushed out of the ambulance, and into a operating room. Moved onto the operating table, a assistant surgeon held a facemask to her, which applied a anesthetic, while the surgeon prepared for the operation.
[hr]
While a force was on standby to move out to the direction Jessica had indicated, Legaia was fearful of a larger Xiphatian attack, believing the gas attack to only be the prelude. This made them refrain from sending out a small force, instead waiting for back up from other cities to arive.

Marcus snarled and flicked off his commbead. "Cloak up. We've got Ness not responding, and a terrorist attack. Lets dig around and see if we can find the warzone." Xyleena's head bobbed, and she disappeared from sight, her cloaking field activating. They began moving through the city, looking for the warzone left over from the fight.
Jessica forcibly tried to calm herself down as she was being put under for an operation. The sooner I can get this over with...the sooner I can get out of here... Despite still feeling riled up, it didn't take terribly long for the anesthetic to take effect.
Still too mentally strained to establish a connection, yet unwilling to leave Rita behind unless absolutely necessary, Loki changed course and instead moved towards the wreckage of the airship. Regaining a small portion of his strength, Loki went from dragging himself along the ground to crawling. Once he reached the airship, Loki propped himself up against it and waited to recuperate.

Once Jessica was under, the surgeon began the operation, first tending to the most pressing matter, stiching up the puncture wound on her back after first repairing torn muscles if there were any. With this done, her burns were tended to. A gel was applied on the burned areas that served both as a coolant, and would promote healing. Unless Jessica was burned to such an extend where the tissue had died off, the burns would be completely healed within a matter of days. With the gel applied, the burned areas were bandaged up, along with her back. When the operation was done, Jessica was moved to a ward that wasn't packed with patients, but still overly crowded.
[hr]
Marcus and Xyleena would find that Fourside was in a poor state. Save for the norhten section, they'd find the same scene they saw upon entering the city.
[hr]
With Fourside unable to spare the manpower to send out a decent sized force capable of fending off a Xiphatian attack, forces from Granite Pass and Port Letosh were being gathered.
OoC: Changed my last post due to this making more sense.
And now I'm off to bed.

Marcus clicked his teeth, and sighed. "You head to the gas victims, look through them. I'll head to the hospital. Call me if you find Jess, Ness, or anyone you recognize." the invisible Xyleena hesitated, and then began moving through the dead and suffering. Marcus went to the nearest hospital, and looked for a receptionist.
Jessica eventually awoke after getting over the effects of the anesthesia in her system. She took a few moments to try and get herself together, then immediately tried to get out of bed. She cringed at the pain her treated, yet not fully healed, wounds gave her when she tried to move, but continued nonetheless.
The Rookie woke up with a groan, and took a combat stim from his belt. He jammed it in his leg, sighing as painkillers and adrenaline rushed into his blood. Getting up, the Rookie limped over towards Loki, grabbing his shotgun on the way.
Up towards the mountains, a blood red spiky portal began forming.

Having recuperated somewhat, Loki shakily stood up, using his staff as a walking stick. I know not what happened... But this marks the moment when it truly is time to take my leave. Slowly continuing towards the mountains, Loki spotted Rita going in the same direction from his periphal vision and feebly waved to her to get her attention.
[hr]
At first, all of the staff on hand were too preoccupied with dealing with other patients to see Jessica attempt to leave, it taking over a minute before a nurse finally took notice. "Miss?" she said urgently as she strode over towards Jessica. "You shouldn't be out of bed."
[hr]
With a decent sized force rounded up, a collection of fifteen airships made their way from Granite Pass and Port Letosh towards the area Jessica had indicated. A single airship from Fourside was also sent.
[hr]
Entering one of the hospitals, Marcus would find three receptionists, all three struggling to efficiently deal with the flood of phone calls.

Marcus walked towards the nearest receptionist. "Excuse me, I'm looking for a friend of mine, might have gone missing during the attack. I don't suppose you could help me find her?" Marcus put on an air of worry, rubbing his hands unconsciously.
Jessica was cluching the general area of the wound on her back as she had managed to make it a short distance from her bed. If the nurse was standing directly in her way, she would make a weak attempt to try and push her off to the side. "I have something I need to do...It might already be too late." She protested.
Being at an angle where she would be able to see Rookie Rita raised a dome of rock around him, barely having the energy to do much more than that. "We need to go now!" Seeing the portal thing near the mountains she said "Can you contact Xiphatia? I don't know what that is but we need help getting out of here."
Seeing Rita point to the portal that was opening up, Loki grunted and reached for his pendant, requesting a whatever forces that could be spared be send to Fourside. With the strain on his mind, the transmission wasn't all that clear, but it got through regardless. With that done, Loki turned Rita and himself invisible, not having the energy to do much more then that. Even the invisibility spell was shoddily executed; flickering on and off at irregular intervals. [sub]"We will need to bide our time... Can you make us sink underground?"[/sub] He asked Rita with a soft and strained voice.
[hr]
The nurse was standing slightly to the side of Jessica, but still in a position that it barred Jessica's path. When Jessica tried to push the nurse out of the way, she gently grabbed Jessica's arm. "You're in no condition to do anything. Keep this up, and you'll risk opening up your wounds again."
[hr]
"Name of the patient?" the receptionist curtly asked Marcus as she moved the horn of the phone away from her ear.

The Rookie smashed against the rock dome with the butt of his gun, then sank down as the pain from his wounds overtook him.
The portal opened, and four black knights accompanied by three robed figures, the first two wearing black, extravagant cloths. The final one was wearing a purple-black robe, which was sickeningly extravagant. The sort of thing a emperor with extremely high thoughts of himself would wear. The knights took up defensive positions around the robed figures, who looked around.
"This is the place."
"Without question. The traces are everywhere."
The first two said, paying Rita no mind. The third raised a black staff with a glass orb on the top, and streaks of gray mist was drawn towards it.

The Rookie would find that hitting the rock dome cracked it pretty badly. The layer of rock was thin.
"I can do that, but not much else." replied Rita as she opened a space in the ground beneath them, unceremoniously dropping them into it before closing off the top, sealing them inside a pitch black space underground.

"Well, one is named Jessica, and she is a beastkin with a mechanical right arm, I'm not sure she would have been in any shape to tell you her name, and then there's Miss Sinclair, she always insists on a fedora in her outfit, she has some gadgets on her belt, though she might have lost those." Marcus looked at the other receptionists, and muttered unintelligible words to himself.
The Rookie blew a hole in the rockdome with his shotgun, just in time to see Loki and Rita drop down in the ground, He was able to see them due to his VISR mode still being on. He sat leaned against the wall of the dome, clutching his shotgun tight as parts of the dome fell down around him.
Being in no shape to properly break his fall when the ground opened beneath him, Loki fell landed on his back with a grunt. Once the hole closed up, he grunted and dispelled the invisibility to conserve his energy. [sub]"How long will we be able to remain here until the oxygen runs out? Two minutes or so, I assume?"[/sub] he asked weakly, after slumping down against the earthen wall.
[hr]
The airships that were sent from Granite Pass nearing the site, they began spreading out to cover more ground.
[hr]
"I'll be needing a last name, unless you're okay with waiting until someone is available to look for the people you described." the receptionist said to Marcus, more stating fact rather then being snarky.
