Narciss(2)0.1NarcissDreamer||:...
()||Rope:Dreamer plants a foot on her face, not bothering to hide the cruel smile on her face.
BOSS-11(0)Dreamer||:I'm the one who's crushing you underfoot like a bug, though.
Narciss(2)NarcissDestroyer||:Shut up already! My ears are bleeding!
Narciss(3)0.1NarcissRope:Dreamer exerts a bit of force and shoves Narciss' face into the dirt. +The Nyto is choking on the sheer terror of losing both her legs and her vision.

BossJustice(0)Judge||:Alright. Team D's assembled too.
BOSS-4(0)Intruder||:Most of the firebases in the Western Tower were deserted. Cleanup was surprisingly easy.
BOSS-2(0)Executioner||:Kinda lame, if you ask me.
BossJustice(0)Judge||:... +Don't forget our mission.
()||AVG_whitenoise:Judge opens the channel to Muromets.
BossJustice(0)Judge||:This is Fe56. Team D has finished clearing out all the firebases in the Western Tower. Team C will continue wiping out the remaining units on the platform. +The wind on the platform is blowing due south, and Collapse particle density is highest at 7 o'clock, while the rain will help with camouflage.

NPC-SCAR-L(0)Aliana||:...Stay alert.
()||AVG_Walk:After signaling to her team members to keep their eyes peeled, Aliana raises her gun and ventures further into the hall by herself.
()||Stop_AVG_loop:Inside the silent hall, the only thing visible is the headless goddess statue pointing her sword at the sky, as though she were challenging fate.
Contender(0)Contender||:Judging by the map, this seems to be their prayer hall.
M26MASS(0)-200,80M26-MASS||:Leader, should we keep going?
NPC-SCAR-L(0)Aliana||:Hang on. Let Team B go in first.
NPC-SCR(0)SCR||:Roger.

()||:Aliana gestures again, indicating that the team should huddle up and watch their surroundings.
NPC-SCR(0)SCR||:M60's signal vanished...
NPC-SCAR-L(0)Aliana||:I know.
()||:A melee weapon, wielded by an extremely fast and agile killer. +It's Grig. +Having deduced the identity of the enemy, Aliana breaks away from the huddle and ventures into the darkness.
()||AVG_20Winter_Knife_Whoosh:Whoosh! As expected, the killer strikes again.
NPC-SCAR-L(0)Aliana||:M82A1.
M82A1(0)M82A1||:Sniper ready.
()||AVG_rifle_finalshot_h:Bang! The bullet makes a beeline for the killer, leaving her no choice but to pull back and deflect it with her blade.

NPC-SCR(0)SCR||:...
NPC-SCAR-L(0)Aliana||:It's Bramedb. +Check everyone's status once every three minutes. We keep moving.

NPC-Bramedb(3)Bramedb||:...Looks like we have some tough opponents on our hands. +My attacks were ineffective against them.
NPC-grig(0)Grig||:...
()||:Grig coldly wipes away the blood on herself.
NPC-grig(0)Grig||:You can get lost if you're useless here.
NPC-Bramedb(4)Bramedb||:Aw, don't get mad. I'll try something else on her.
NPC-grig(0)Grig||:Shh... They're here!

()||:Once everyone else is in position, Aliana slowly ascends the stairs while M82A1 covers her. +Her footsteps echo throughout the spiral staircase, triggering ripples of unease. +Once it is certain that the floors above and below are safe, Aliana briefly lowers her gun.
NPC-SCAR-L(0)Aliana||:Clear.

NPC-Bramedb(3)Bramedb||:"And nobody saw..." +"That one truly beautiful smile..."
NPC-SCAR-L(0)Aliana||:When did you pull me into Level II, Bramedb?
NPC-Bramedb(3)Bramedb||:You noticed? +Still, there's no point in asking. After all, you'll be staying here.
NPC-SCAR-L(0)Aliana||:...And what about yourself?
NPC-Bramedb(3)Bramedb||:I'll be keeping you company, of course. Otherwise you'd be so lonely here by yourself.
NPC-SCAR-L(0)Aliana||:You took less time to hack in here than I expected.
NPC-Bramedb(3)Bramedb||:Now why don't you seem worried at all?
NPC-SCAR-L(0)Aliana||:Ten more seconds.
NPC-Bramedb(3)Bramedb||:Hm?

NPC-Bramedb(3)Bramedb||:...You really are a troublesome Doll. +I'm actually getting a little intrigued. +I wonder how lovely you'll look when you start to panic.

NPC-grig(0)Grig||:Retreat. I'll take care of this place.
NPC-grig(0);NPC-Bramedb(3)Bramedb||:Retreat? There's no way you can hold this place by yourself.
NPC-grig(0)Grig;NPC-Bramedb(3)||:She asked us to delay them. I can do that.
NPC-Bramedb(3)Bramedb||:Gray must have sheltered you quite heavily if you're still this naïve.
()||:Grig's face instantly darkens, like the sky just before a storm. +Bramedb pretends she didn't notice and continues speaking.
NPC-Bramedb(3)Bramedb||:Come to think of it, Gray was just like this right before she went into that battle.
NPC-grig(0)Grig;NPC-Bramedb(3)||:... +Gray... Back then, did she face two opponents like this by herself?
NPC-grig(0);NPC-Bramedb(3)Bramedb||:Oh yes, and at first the battle was still fairly even. +But later on, her injuries started affecting her movements and slowing her down. +Then they scented her weakness, like hyenas smelling blood...
NPC-grig(0)Grig;NPC-Bramedb(3)||:Enough.
NPC-grig(0);NPC-Bramedb(3)Bramedb||:Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot you're still grieving.

NPC-grig(0)Grig||:Don't try to rile me up pointlessly. +I'm leaving. Stay or follow, it's up to you.
()||:Grig sheathes her sword and prepares to leave. +Bramedb quickly blocks her path. Gazing at Grig's impassive face, she grits her teeth and sighs.
NPC-Bramedb(3)Bramedb||:You leave me with no choice...

()Grig||:...
()Bramedb||:She must have been so scared...
()Grig||:...
()Bramedb||:Yet she still put up a brave front and kept comforting you... until the goddess' sword ran her through...
()Grig||:I couldn't catch up to her... I'm trash, I couldn't save her...
()Bramedb||:But that's alright, you can still avenge Gray. Your enemies are right here...
()Grig||:...I'll kill them.
()Bramedb||:Yes, kill them all. +Give them a taste of Gray's suffering even if it costs you your life! Kill them all!
