Franka

Liskarm Are you able to hold the line?

Liskarm

I'm fine over here!

Franka, watch out for an enemy flank!

Franka

There's no end to them...!

Reunion Member

You don't have a chance of breaking through our defenses!

I'm going to smash you...

Guh?!

A-aaaagh!

Wh-what is that? !

Franka

It's a thermite blade.

Does slicing count as breaking as well?

What a pain...

Medic! There's someone injured here!

Be careful when transporting them!

Medic

I got it!

Franka

Amiya!

How's the situation over there?

Liskarm

I think we have a little issue here.

Amiya

Franka...

The enemy leader... just showed up in front of me and Liskarm!

Skullshatterer

...

Where else do you plan on hiding?

You can't escape us, Rhodes Island.

I'll grind you to dust...

...not even your bones will remain.

You traitors... have turned your backs on the Infected!

Franka

Oh~ This one's finally decided to show up.

Doesn't sound too impressive, though.

Liskarm

Amiya, seems like we--

Franka

Ack, it's a dead end!

Did I run too far ahead? !

Liskarm

Franka's also having some problems...

Reunion has us cornered.

Liskarm

We'll have to fight.

I feel that... we more than match up against them.

We just have to get a bit more serious...

Franka

Liskarm, you just don't understand.

Whatever level of power we choose to display, we can't let the L.G.D. feel threatened.

Liskarm

But we can't just sit here and let them run over us!

Defenders, hold your ground!

Skullshatterer

A leader of Rhodes Island, eh...

You're an Infected, but you still assist Lungmen in their slaughter of other Infected!

You have blood of so many of my comrades on your hands!

Stand and face me!

Amiya

...

Reunion...

You were the ones who started the hatred, the pain, and the violence...

You were the ones who started all this in Chernobog!!

Skullshatterer

Nngh...

Amiya

Ugh... Gahh...

Reunion Member

Aaah-!

Skullshatterer, are you okay?!

Skullshatterer

Tch... What a troublesome bunch!

Reunion Member

Skullshatterer, W just said that she's all finished on her end!

She's successfully retrieved the target.

Skullshatterer

W... she won?

Reunion Member

That's right, her assault went very smoothly!

Should we also retreat?

Skullshatterer

...

Send a signal to Talulah.

Reunion Member

Roger!

Skullshatterer

...We're pulling back.

Hmph. Rhodes Island cowards...

The next time we meet... will be at your execution.

Amiya

Reunion... is retreating?

Franka

They're retreating very rapidly. Something must have changed with their plans.

Despite all that talk, they sure know how to run away.

Amiya

...

Something... doesn't feel right.

Liskarm

Are you saying...

Your choice

We weren't their objective in the first place...

Amiya

...!

That they were only here to stall us...?

If that's the case...

Oh no, the L.G.D. is in trouble!

...We have to help Madam Ch'en right now!

Franka, call the recon squad back immediately!

Liskarm, try to get in touch with Madam Ch'en!

Ch'en

Where's the Special Operations Division? Their reinforcements are supposed to be here by now!

L.G.D. Agent

We were just notified that they've been stalled by Reunion...!

Ch'en

How's that possible? Reunion is nothing more than a gang of unruly thugs!

L.G.D. Agent

...And they were only facing... a single enemy...

Ch'en

...

Unless...
