"Yeah...I guess that's all that matters..." When Madison looks at him, she sees a tear rolling down his cheek, almost transparent itself.

Madison sees this and her smile vanishes. She does her best to hold him, despite the tendency to go through him. "Michael..."

She finds that she's barely able to hug him, her body almost going right through his, but Michael tries his best to return the hug, his entire body cold. "...I'm sorry it has to be this way..." He says, looking at her with his irisless eyes.

"I am too..." She then looks up at him, giving him a small smile. "But... at least you're still here..."

Michael puts a hand on her shoulder. Albeit, it's cold, but she can feel a very slight warmth to it. "Don't worry...I'm sure he'll pull through." He says, trying his best to ease her anxiety.

Madison looks at him, still wearing a worried expression. "Michael..." She attempts to hug him.

The clone portals back to the can, only to help the other clone put Zero into the can. After a wirr, and a beep The can begins to heal Zero, using many odd looking limbs, and moving like a printer. It hurts a good deal though.

Zero stays unconscious through the entire healing process. Madison stands there, terribly anxious, staring at the can.

A clone walks up, and attempts to use a piece of cotton to swap the inside of Acnologia's lip.The clone begins to panic, unsure of what to do. He punches something into the can, making it beep."Ok, I set the can to repair mode...it should fix him." The clone says. For once, he seems worried. He then starts to lift Zero into the can.

Acnologia allows him to do so, before lumbering over to a spot to lay and rest. His movements shake the very earth and him planting down nearly shakes the clones off their feet.

Madison is also very worried as she watches the clone do this. "Are you sure this is going to work?" She asks it.

The clones nod."May we take some genetic samples from you?" One asks Achologia."He was attacked by a dragon!" The clone says.

Acnologia looks at the clone that asked him for a genetic sample. He didn't know what that would mean, but he saw no harm. "Very well. You may have your 'genetic sample'."

---

"A dragon?!" Madison yelps. "There's only one dragon that'd do that to him, it's Acnologia." She goes to check on Zero's state. Needless to say, he's going to need help, fast. "Damn it, bad time for my regeneration station to fry!"

They do stop firing, however they seem uneasy about it."Yes sir." The one carrying him says, before he teleports him to the can ((where is right in front of the guild building.))"Not...funny." Blood growls.

Acnologia stretches, before growling a bit. HIs growls become inaudible words. And those become clear. "Zeref. I am not here by any kindness of my heart, nor any compassion for anything. I simply wish to keep this wretched rock I call home safe." The dragon speaks in a deep, malicious tone.
"I expected you to say that. You sure gave Zero one hell of a beating." Zeref responds.
"He came upon me in my lair and disturbed my slumber. Of course I was angry, so I attacked him. He reasoned with me as I tried to kill him, and eventually I calmed down." The dragon explains.

Madison giggles. "It was, just a bit." Then, as if from some kind of 6th sense, she turns to where Zero and the clone are and runs over, concerned. "Zero! Is he alright?!" She asks.

The clone does so, and is them beaten by blood."YOU SON OF A BITCH I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Blood roars, now more pissed off rather than scared. The clone doesn't fight back, nor does it seem to show much pain."We wi....oh dear. Sir, I will have to go." It says, as it vanishes. It arrives, along with a fair amount of the army at Zero's location. The first responder grabs Zero and begins to fly off, being covered by the other clones' weapon fire.

Madison teleports over and gets between Blood and the clone. "Easy man, he was just messing with you." She says.

---

As he's being transported, Zero manages to regain consciousness for a little bit of time. He looks around, seeing the others shooting at the emerging beast, and whispers just loud enough to be heard. "Tell them to cease fire..." He then falls into blackness once more, growing limp in the clone's arms.
The weapons seem to have no effect, any bullets flying off and flamethrowers and rockets proving useless. The giant beast squeezes through the annoyingly small portal, before letting out another roar. It's entire body is black, with blue symbols all over, and as it gets up it shows a grey, smooth underbelly. The great dragon attracts the attention of Zeref, who appears next to a soldier. "By God, he's brought Acnologia here!" His worried expression then turns to one of confusion, then of understanding, and he shows to be impressed. "Stop firing on him. He's not here to hurt anyone."

"GET ME DOWN NOW BEFORE I THROW UP ON THE ROOF OF THE GUILD BUILDING!" He yells. By now his face is red from fear and anger."True. I will have other clones look for him." He says. He sends a mental message to a mutated soldier who goes on a search for him.

"Hey! Set him down!" Madison calls to the clone, still laughing a bit at him.

---

"Well then, I hope you'll find him." Kevin says.

---

The other clone soon finds a clearing, where a portal opens. Zero walks through it, right arm missing, bloodied and battered. He takes one, two, three shambling steps and collapses, blacking out. On the other side of the portal comes a bone-chilling roar that would strike fear into even the strongest heart. A large, black, clawed arm reaches out of the portal. It's scaled in the way of dragon skin and has strange blue patterns along it.

"....Abort that one or-" It starts to say, however several of the clones have gone off already to fly about scaring people. One of them is at the guild, and pranks blood by carrying him high in the air."GOD DAMN IT PUT ME DOWN I HATE BEING UP HIGH!" Blood screams, his fear of heights kicking in severely."Sir my main objective is to keep you safe. As such, I will not lose sight of you for a moment.....unless you need to use the rest room." The clone says.

Madison stares at Blood and the clone. "...Hey Blood!" She calls, smiling and waving at him.

---

"Hmm... well, I'll be fine with my guys here, but don't you need to go find Zero, he's kind of the most important person here, right? He's been gone for a while now..." Kevin says.
