<Background 1> | |

[Amidst the Catastrophe that wreaks havoc on Chernobog...] | |
Dobermann | Prepare for impact!! Spread out—!!! There's too much coming... at this rate, every single building in this city is going to be destroyed! This is looking bad...! |
Ace | ...! We have to relocate! |
Medic | ...! |
Ace | Hold on!! |
Reunion Member | Aaaaagh!! It's falling... It's falling! The sky is crashing down! Aghhhh! It hurtsss...! My hand... my hand! Where's my hand... No, no way!! I don't want to die...! Aaaaaaaghh!!! |
Nearl | Defenders! Protect our Casters!! ...!! What's that sound?! |
Ace | A massive cluster just toppled the building across the street from us! Get down!! |
[A meteorite is falling close to the Rhodes Island medic.] | |
Medic | Eeek...! |
Amiya | ... Don't stand there... Medic! Watch out! |
Guard | Oh no... Medic, get out of there! |
Doctor | ...! |
Medic | Aaaahh! ...Huh, D-Doctor? |
Guard | The Doctor pushed the medic out of the way? Wouldn't that mean... Doctor...?! No, Doctor!! |
Nearl | Dr.{nickname}!! |
Guard | Huh? N-Nearl's charging forward! |
Nearl | Get down, Doctor! |
[The meteorite lands...] | |
<Background fades out and in> | |
[...but thanks to Nearl's intervention, the Doctor and the R.I. medic is safe.] | |
Nearl | Aagh... She made it in time! |
Guard | She did it... She saved the Doctor! |
Nearl | *cough*... Haah... |
Amiya | Nearl! Doctor! Hurry back over here! |
Nearl | It's fine now! I can still hold my shield...! Jump, Doctor! Jump! |
<Background fades out and in> | |
Amiya | Doctor, Doctor... You're, you're not hurt? |
Doctor | I'm fine... It’s no big deal. / ... / Thanks for saving me, Nearl. |
Nearl | How could you... put yourself in danger like that! At least take me with you, so I can protect you! I can't allow you to be harmed... Especially, right before my eyes! |
Amiya | We should count ourselves lucky that everyone is still safe...! But... (How much longer is this going to last?) (How long are we going to be able to stay alive?) ... Hm... Are fewer rocks falling now? So we managed to weather the first impact... |
Dobermann | But we have to be careful still. Nobody knows how long this Catastrophe will continue for. At least... we weren't caught dead in the middle of it. We were lucky to slip through. |
Amiya | Mmhm... How's everyone doing? |
Guard | Looks like all of the Operators made it through just fine...! Some were lightly injured, but considering the circumstances, we were quite fortunate! We... we made it! |
<Background fades out and in> | |
Reunion Member | Ugh... |
Amiya | Some of the Reunion members have also... |
Reunion Member | ...Huh? Huh... Ahh! ! Rhodes Island! |
Dobermann | ...What? |
Reunion Member | Arghh...!! |
Amiya | They're still trying to attack us?! |
Reunion Member | ... Rhodes Island! |
Dobermann | What's wrong with you bunch! |
Reunion Member | Come back here...! |
Dobermann | They've gone insane. |
Nearl | Do they not value their lives at all?! |
Amiya | Dobermann... |
Dobermann | We have no choice... We'll suppress them first, and then immediately relocate! |
After operation[edit]
Summary Reunion members pour out from every nook and cranny, trapping the Doctor and the rescue squad in the city plaza.It is at that time that Talulah, the tyrant of Reunion, approaches them. | |
<Background 2> | |
---|---|
[The Catastrophe is weakening in intensity as Rhodes Island made their way through the devastated Chernobog.] | |
Dobermann | *gasp* *gasp*... |
Nearl | We made it...! We've not only managed to shake off Reunion... ...but the Catastrophe is also visibly weakening! But we're still in a terrible situation... Everyone, continue to exercise caution! |
Amiya | The Catastrophe... The streets are now buried underneath rubble, and collapsed buildings are blocking all the roads... |
Dobermann | Is the Originium already beginning to metastasize...? We're almost there, but everything is blocking our way! If we can just... ... Just... |
Ace | ... They're here. |
Guard | What's here? Reunion? They caught up to us?! |
[A large number of Reunion forces surround the R.I....] | |
Medic | Ugh... There's... so many of them... |
[...outnumbering them ten to one...] | |
Dobermann | They didn't just catch up to us... They're... |
Nearl | ––Everywhere. |
[...and blocking off all possible exit for R.I..] | |
Dobermann | From the plaza, the streets, the buildings... and even all the ruins. Look at those numbers. Hah... That explains why they weren't afraid of the Catastrophe at all, except for the ones who ended up being crushed. Even if we assume... That the Catastrophe wiped out half their men–– They still have enough people here to kill us a dozen times over. |
Nearl | ... Don't stop moving! We'll continue moving towards our retreat route! We're done for if we stop in a wide-open area! At least make it to the plaza's exit before regrouping! |
Amiya | Nearl... |
Nearl | We have to fight. After we break through their line, we'll slip out in the ensuing chaos. |
Amiya | Are you sure it'll work? |
Nearl | The chance is slim, but we're out of options. But... Even if they outnumber us ten-to-one, if they're just a bunch of thugs, we still have a chance! Stay calm! Prepare for battle! Defensive formations! |
Dobermann | ...Tsk. With these numbers, if they wanted to take over Chernobog... they might actually be able to do it. |
Nearl | There are too many... Way too many of them.. Where did Reunion find all these Infected? |
Dobermann | We're completely surrounded... I never asked for this kind of respect from Reunion. |
Guard | The entire plaza... is swarming with Reunion forces! They've stopped moving! ... |
Amiya | Ugh... |
[Talulah appears as the Reunion soldiers make way for her.] | |
<Background black> | |
Guard | Only a single enemy is approaching our defensive line! Why is that person walking towards us alone... Are they sending an envoy? I don't think so... |
<Background 2> | |
Amiya | She... According to our intel, she's... |
Nearl | ... There's something peculiar about her scent. |
Dobermann | Nearl... |
Nearl | I can't exactly put my finger on it, but... |
[As Nearl stares at Talulah, the latter gives off an aura of dread which even makes the former tremble in fear.] | |
<Background fades out and in> | |
Nearl | It's... the smell of steel and sulfur. As if something was burning. If it really is fire, then... |
Amiya | All Operators... be on maximum alert. ...That person is... |
Dobermann | Reunion's ruler... |
Amiya | ...Talulah. |
<Background black> | |
[The ominous sound of a meteorite crashing down is heard in the distance.] | |
Talulah | ... ... ... |
Nearl | I reckon... her flames are powerful enough to swallow Terra entirely. |
