It Fell From the Sky!

Hey Frosty, why aren't you using lethal Arts?

*Hack* *cough*...

......

So that's why.

...FrostNova, she...

FrostNova's the name?

*Hack*... Help me... cover...

Sister...

Get out of here, Amiya. There could be more Reunion on the way. Do we have any injured? I can help.

So you're retreating?

I'm going to politely suggest that you don't fight anymore, snow bunny.

If you keep using your Arts like that, you're going to die. You're just burning your life into power.

Or, you could always come to Rhodes Island. We've got ways to extend your life.

......

Don't look at me like that... I don't need your pity.

Do I look like I pity you? You're strong. I respect you.

......

Why are you running away?

*Cough*... *Hack* *hack*...

Doctor, run. Don't look at her!

Reunion forces closing on our position!

You're not leaving.

Sister, don't use that now, not where you're standing!

We can't let them escape!

Who knows what Rhodes Island might do to our people in Lungmen!

The temperature difference... it's causing the structure... to weaken!

*Cough* *cough*... freeze!

......♪......

*Hack*...!

It's working...

The Originium we buried has changed the structure of the lower levels, the plates are tilting!

Sister, it's too dangerous! Hold onto me!

......

Sister?!

...Blaze. Do you hear that?

Hm?

Is that the sound of the structure shattering?

Oh...

Buried Originium... heat absorption... temperature difference...

It's collapsing... FrostNova's Arts can actually do that...?

No!

The plate is warping!

Reunion is capable of something like this?

All I know is... the whole district is sinking!

Run! Get to a stable area! The ground here is caving in!

...Doctor?

Doctor, the ground under you... it's... splitting?

Uh oh.

Doctor, move!

Doctor!

Amiya, stay where you are! Doctor, grab onto that lamppost!

Save the Doctor!

The ground is splitting too fast! I can't reach!

Then I'll do it!

No!

What did——

Doctor!!

The buildings can't support their own weight anymore, they're all collapsing!

Meteorite, take her!

Okay, I've got Amiya!

Put me down!

Amiya, go. I'll get the Doctor! I'm an elite operator, I can do it!

......

Welp, looks like we're not quite done.

Doctor, I'm going to use airflow and pressure to slow your fall and push away the building beside you. Don't worry, it won't crush you!

Just don't panic! I've got you!

...See you soon!

......

......

Sup? Where's FrostNova?

Your commander fell down there too, huh?

...Yes.

Could we not fight?

Rabbit of Rhodes Island, could we forge a temporary armistice? Honestly, we never much wanted to fight you.

But...

Mephisto told our sister you'd killed Alex, and she was very concerned about what you would do next.

...Who's Alex?

Skullshatterer.

I'm sorry. I did kill Skullshatterer.

...Oh.

Infected really should not fight one another. I'm sorry.

What's to apologize for? It was a battle, wasn't it?

It was.

So let's have a ceasefire. Nesti, what do you say?

Huh? *Ursine profanity*!

Nesti says he's fine with it.

I don't think that's what he said.

As long as we're not in battle, there's no reason to kill anyone, right?

Why is it... you want a ceasefire?

Did you ever notice that both our sides are led by rabbits?

...Huh?

I think something in my brain just broke.

Hm?

These are the yetis of the ice field?

Wh- what do you mean?

Shouldn't they be cold, merciless killers?

This isn't right.

That's prejudiced.

Listen here, bunny.

Who wins the battle, or where you go, none of that matters to us. All we care about is our sister's life.

And you're worried about your friend too, right?

...Right. We didn't come here to hurt anyone.

You're definitely not here to hunt Reunion for sport, are you?

Of course not!

You know... it's funny...

If it weren't for Patriot insisting on unity in the Reunion Movement, we'd have dealt with Mephisto and his people a long time ago.

And that'd be kinda like hunting Reunion for sport, huh?

Huh...

Let's get digging, shall we?
