While we're still outside of accurate firing distance, our pursuers are clearly about to catch up to us. ()Commander||:Dandelion! ()||:Dandelion takes control of the closest Paradeus troops chasing us. +It's obvious that her stamina is being taxed to its limits. M4 SOPMOD IIMod(3)M4 SOPMOD II||:I'll take you all on! Rip and tear! RO635Mod(4)RO635||:SOP-II! Don't be reckless! AR15Mod(0)ST AR-15||:Any rounds left, RO? ()||:The AR Team is deep within the enemy formation and on the verge of being overrun. If I can't think of a way to get us out of this, they'll swamp us all... VP1915(0)???<通讯框>||:Greetings, Commander. VP1915(0)Commander<通讯框>||:Who's that?! RO635Mod(0)RO635||:We're out of rounds and they've even hacked our comms?! VP1915(0)???<通讯框>||:Please do not worry. We are Squad Griffin, sent here to pick you up in accordance with the mission directives. +Allow me to introduce myself. I am VP1915 Villar Perosa, but you can call me Perosa. M4 SOPMOD IIMod(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:So we DO have a pickup! ()Commander||:How can you prove that? VP1915(0)Perosa<通讯框>||:The Earl said that you would understand once you saw this seal. ()||:Perosa holds a wax seal up to the communicator. +It is imprinted with the image of a mighty griffin baring its claws, surrounded by intricate designs. +It is exactly like the one on the mission document I received. ()Commander||:...So it's the Earl. I see. VP1915(0)Perosa<通讯框>||:According to the intel provided by the Earl, these Paradeus forces are only active on the outskirts of the city. They seem to be prohibited from entering the city area. +Derringer and Savage are coming over to support you. I will guide you remotely to help you shake off your pursuers. VP1915(0)Commander<通讯框>||:Alright, so those two— ()||Gunfight:Bang bang bang— +Just as the Commander contemplates their next move, the sound of unfamiliar gunfire erupts from behind them. NytoIsomer(8)Dandelion||:I'm picking up IFF signals belonging to two high-end I.O.P. Dolls, but they're not on the Griffin base roster. Derringer(0)???||:Hi, Commander~ This doesn't seem like the best time for a chat... Savage99(0)???||:We're here to lend you a hand, Commander. VP1915(0)Perosa<通讯框>||:They've arrived, Commander. Now, please run toward the slope at 1 o'clock as quickly as you can. RO635Mod(0)RO635||:They're only two Dolls, will they be alright? VP1915(0)Perosa<通讯框>||:Please have faith in my judgment. ()||:The two unfamiliar Dolls exchange smiles. Their fighting stances show that they are fully in sync with each other. Derringer(0)???||:Leave this place to us! Savage99(0)???||:Please do as Perosa directs and head into the city proper. ()Commander||<黑屏1>:...Got it. +Let's not waste any more time. Everyone, to the city! ()||<黑屏2>1BGM_Empty:...In a hidden patch of forest. +A petite figure grits her teeth as she watches the Commander's party flee to the city area with the help of Squad Griffin. Narciss(4)???||10082:What?! They're fleeing in that direction... But Big Sis won't let me go there! +They're going to escape, just like that... And all I can do is watch... +Why is this happening? (Sobs) +How am I going to explain this to Big Sis? How— NytoWhite(0)White Nyto||:They are about to enter the city. Shall we continue giving chase? ()||:The girl turns and sends the white Nyto flying with a slap. +The black Nyto standing beside her trembles in fear, not daring to look at the white Nyto's head as it rolls past her feet. Narciss(4)???||:Chase?! You're nothing but a pack of stupid dogs, all you can do is bark and chase! +Hurry up and find out who the hell met up with them! ()||:After not getting a response for a long time, the girl angrily picks up the white Nyto's corpse. Narciss(4)???||:What's the matter, cat got your— Huh? Where's the head? +... +Trash is trash. One slap and your head's gone. Nyto(1)Black Nyto||:... ()||:The girl disdainfully discards the white Nyto's corpse. The black Nyto standing nearby falls to her knees and dares not move. Narciss(4)???||:You. Nyto(1)Black Nyto||:Y-Yes...? Narciss(4)???||:Do you know your mission? Nyto(1)Black Nyto||:Yes, I do! Narciss(4)???||:Make sure you do a good job and don't disappoint me, or else... ()||:The girl pats the black Nyto on the head jovially. Nyto(1)Black Nyto||:...I-I won't disappoint you! ()||:The black Nyto practically flees from her, leaving the little girl to glare at the Commander's group as they recede into the distance. Narciss(4)???||<黑屏1>:Not bad. You're pretty pathetic in a fight, but you do run very fast. +But don't get too cocky, we'll meet again. +And when we do, I'm going to twist your spine into a pretzel...
