[ Muffled, savage shouts? Lots of banging? Yes, America is trapped by the Reavers in the dead of night. He's breathing harshly, and if you care to notice, his breathing have a wet sound to it. ]

So. Good news. Found what I came here for.

[ A rattling sound resounds close to the communicator; it's obviously a pill bottle being shaken. ]

Bad news... well. Yeah.

[ He coughs. A louder bang and shout resounds, which is closely followed by a gunshot. America laughs, full of his usual confidence but somehow hollow. Maybe even a little scared. ]

Somehow, I think it'll be worse if these guys get to me than when Mexico did. I've got five rounds left. Twelve out there. And no way I'm wasting a bullet or a pill on getting outta this the easy way! [ Shouted at the Reavers, but you guys can still get an earful. ]

...All-in-all, pretty good odds in my favor! Be back at Marshall in about an hour.

[ No. He won't. A louder bang, and three successive shots before the audio buzzes out. Ten minutes will go by before he replies to anything. ]

Hey, America! Things don't sound too good over there. Need some backup?

Voice

[starspangledhero]

Back-up is always awesome! [ cough ] Which are you closer to, hospital or Marshall?

Voice

[thunderbadge]

Marshall, I think.

Voice

[starspangledhero]

Alright. There's a kid there guarding it. He's strong, but these guys are a lot to take on alone, ya know? Help him out in case I don't make it back in time. I'm on my way, but it's slow-goin'.

Voice

[thunderbadge]

All right.

...You gonna be okay by yourself?

Voice

[starspangledhero]

Sure, I'll--

[ COUGH god it sounds like he has TB. ]

...On second thought. If you've got any extra guns or anything on ya, I'll meet ya at Lander.

Voice

[thunderbadge]

[THAT SOUNDS BAD and Surge will be running over in the direction of Lander now.]

Just the shotgun from before, but I'm out of ammo. Don't worry, I've got my Pokemon with me!

[starspangledhero]

Be careful with 'em! These things don't show any mercy on animals either. They seem just as interested in them.

[ That last line isn't without disgust. ]

At least shotgun'll work as a club. Pistol-whipping, though effect, ain't quite as good!

Voice

[thunderbadge]

[THOSE CREATURES ARE TERRIBLE AND NEED TO DIE. Even if they look human, he won't be showing the Reavers any mercy.]

We'll be careful. You just worry about staying alive until we get there!

Voice

[starspangledhero]

Staying alive is what I'm good at!

[ ...kinda. it doesn't help that he's going to run into Danny Phantom before he makes his way out. ]
