When on a last stand, a person's mind gets hazy. Spruce was nearly dead, Celes WAS dead, and I was next. I glared at Vine silently, not exactly painless and well-rested.

...

Funny that. None of that actually happened.

Celes' choice of words was rather odd, but otherwise fitting for this situation. Made it seem like some sort of fantasy. Vine's attack was supposed to be the real fantasy, charging me up as my Tackle move instead let out a move known to be Thunder Wave. Unlike my other electrical move, it was controlled like a wave and just bolted towards Vine, instead of spraying everywhere. I prayed to Arceus that my attack would be followed with paralysis, adding in how the move shouldn't miss despite accidentally using that.

Things fell quiet. Aside from Celes and Vine's one-on-one battle, everything else was suspiciously quiet. The ocean became as normal as hearing the air on land. With only luck and a ring of coins around me, I rushed to Vine's side. "Oh phew, you're awake." I said, grinning with my eye. "We're gonna be outta Hell soon." 

Ironically, Vine rammed into me with a Dragon Rush attack, full of purple fury and yellow crackles - damn bastard missed the shield that was Celes and (un)luckily got me instead. All I could remember was a good night lullaby filled with curses and cackles. My vision was off and my head hurt as much as the first time I got a concussion. I was still alive, thanks to my typing though.

"Argh..." I slipped my radar dish back on my head. I couldn't see right and couldn't lock my eye onto something, but I could feel Vine had held onto me as he tried to yank a magnet away from me. As I had other ideas (and he would take forever to go against the forces of nature/physics/magnetism), I jostled it away from him (which was easier than expected, thanks to his paralysis) and jabbed him in his chest with both my magnets, separating the merged bubble between us as he floated backwards. "You've got guts to go against a person trying to save someone's life." Granted, I wasn't really saving Spruce from anything, although technically it can be counted as reviving someone and therefore performing medic duty. And, basically you're a monster if you attack someone performing healing duties. Don't ask me, ask Davis. He's been in more shit than me.
