Decision - Decision

Amiya is shocked to learn that Misha has decided to join Reunion. This is all beyond his expedition, which Amiya desperately hopes that Misha wants to join Rhodes Island. It was free to prevent it because Misha herself had made her choice. Joining the Reunion and fighting alongside the infected is Misha's way of atoning for all the sins during this time.

"....." Amiya.

"It is dangerous to lose focus on the battlefield" Chen said as he walked up to him.

"sorry. I just. I don't understand.."

"Reunion has made a bunker inside an unused mine. The woman, W, also ran away there." Chen explained. As Chen turned to Amiya, he looked so helpless. Amiya was devastated by Misha's departure from the path of truth. In order to prevent bad things from happening, Chen gave her some time to calm down, "...I can give you time if you need time alone. However, L.G.D. did not have much time to waste. Hoshiguma, gather the others."

"Misha.." inner Amiya as she stared at the phone, "Madam Chen, I've got an uneasiness."

"Hardness?"

"W is an explosives expert. There was a high possibility that he had set a trap on the battlefield. I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties from this attack. My advice is to allow Rhodes Island to infiltrate the mine while your troops prepare a siege. We'll drive the Reunion army, and you can capture him. For those who refuse to give up, we will deal with it our own way." explained Amiya.

"How sure are you to be able to deal with that onslaught?" ask Chen.

"I'm not sure, but we can take that risk. We fought with him once. From that fight, at least we can understand his fighting style. There are some risks that L.G.D cannot bear."

"We must not forget the purpose of our mission."

"....."

"PC94172, call the troops and surround the mine! Hoshiguma, take some troops with you. Each of us will bring a team and move with Rhodes Island. Hoshiguma, you and Rhodes Island will split up and pinch them. Destroy their base of operations, and destroy their defenses. I'll handle the weapons base. For the sake of the lungmen we must bring Misha back."

"...Understood." said Amiya.

"I'll gather our operators." Chen continued.

As Chen was busy explaining his plans to his entire army, Hoshiguma noticed the movement of the Reunion forces. They moved quickly on the edge of the mine. About where they went and what their purpose was, only they knew.

"Chen, there's a small group of Reunion troops walking on the edge of the mine. They move very fast. I'll go, otherwise we'll lose them." Hoshiguma said without looking. Hoshiguma kept an eye on the troops with a sharp eye.

"Quickly. Don't let it get away!" reply Chen.

Just as Hoshiguma was about to leave, Amiya immediately held him back. Not intending to ban it, Amiya just wanted to provide an info that could be used by Hoshiguma in his pursuit.

"Ah, Mrs Hoshiguma, wait a moment. When they ambushed us, they hid some casters among their troops. I suggest bringing our two operators, Franka and Liskarm with you. They are very experienced in dealing with caster." said Amiya.

"No problem."

"alright. Let's do this, okay?" said Franka.

"What about you, Amiya? Doctor Kal'tsit told us to.." Liskarm said, Amiya interrupted him immediately. Amiya explained that with the help of Penguin Logistics, there was nothing to worry about.

"Penguin Logistics is with me, so I'll be fine."

"Good plan." added Hoshiguma.

"I can't suppress this, but don't be so stubborn. Return it if the situation gets worse." Chen then turned to Amiya and said, "Amiya?"

Just a reminder that Amiya still has tasks to complete. While Hoshiguma, Franka, and Liskarm pursue the troops, Amiya and other operators will enter the mine.

"I know. We don't have much time. It's not like Chernobog. This time, it's our turn to stop the Reunion!" sahut Amiya firmly.

...*****...

Meanwhile, elsewhere, the Skullshatterer lay dying without anyone able to cure him. One person who can cure him is Mephisto, but he refuses to come and chooses to take care of other plans.

W insinuates that the troops have lost all will to fight and asks Misha to follow him to safety. However, Misha disagreed.

"We can't count on that guy. After all, she never cared for her friends." replied W.

"....." hearing this, Reunion warrior A fell silent.

"Don't blame yourself for something you can't control."

"Thank you for protecting us, W. At least, we can bring him back."

"If you want to thank me, then do it through your actions."

"certain. We'll protect your way out. But I have one request. Promise to always take care of Misha."

"certain. Anyways.."

Amidst their chatter, where the agreement was being made, Misha suddenly came and asked them to leave. Get out of there so she can spend time with her older brother, Alex who is now on the brink of death.

"I'm still useful to you, aren't I?" misha.

"We.." Reunion warrior A was at a loss for words.

"Let me be alone with the Skullshatterer. I'll take care of it."

"But. okay. W, promise. There's a promise you have to keep."

"I know, I know." reply W.

A Reunion Warrior then left Misha alone with Skullshatterer who was stretched stiff helpless. But not for W. He chose to settle down and return to his disgraceful actions.

"I told you, let me spend time with him alone."

"But you have to go."

"....." did not answer, Misha just kept silent while looking at her brother who was stiffly helpless.

"Lungmen and Rhodes Island can come at any time. I think the people here are going to die too. Oh my, what a dilemma. Misha, there will be more people who die because of you. It's so sorry."

"You're confusing me, W. You're not gonna get anything from me."

"Woah. You know, that bunny girl seems to care a lot about you. But Chen is different. He will not forgive anyone. Maybe he'll forgive you, because he needs you. But you've seen Ursus and you know what's going to happen next, right?"

"....."

"It's not too late to come with me. Even though you still have to see all your friends sacrifice themselves. I think it's their destiny. It's pathetic."

"....."

"Ah, right. Even though you've seen everything that's happened.You know, how do I say it? I really don't have the strength left to bring the Skullshatterer back to Chernobog."

"Shut up!"

"I'm just telling the truth. I mean, there's nothing to expect in a place like this. Hurry up and tell me when you've cleared your mind, okay?"

Feeling that the situation is heating up and not wanting to get into trouble, W then leaves. But on the other hand, W's remarks had influenced Misha to dare to act. Actions that he considers objects and can erase all his sins. Misha decided to become a more useful person. Where there is hope, that is where Misha will come.

"No. I promise I'll get Skullshatterer back to life. Skullshatterer is not dead.. Skullshatterer cannot die. If he's here, he'll protect us. I know, this is all he's gonna do. Everyone like me, we're all infected. I am also a part of them. I have nowhere to go. Everything must be protected. It's the Skullshatterer's legacy."

Seriate.
