Doctor uppercut one of the last Reunion members after a thirty minute battle, and grabbed his leg, before leaping forward and slamming them down.

"Phew... you were right... these bunch came prepared!" Franka said sheathing her rapier. "Can you guys pick up the pace?" Franka asked the others.

"Just... who are you people...?" Misha panted, since it had been a constant struggle as they followed the route given. "Apparently, a pharmaceutical company." Doctor said with a shrug, making her raise an eyebrow.

"Doctor, we're being pursued from behind. Do we have time to counterattack?" Liskarm asked. "Not at the moment. It's better if we shake them off and avoid unnecessary battles." Doctor said hopping up to see the fifth wave of Reunion troops on their tail. "Ugh, forget the safety issue- I need a route that can get us out of the slums to Madam Ch'en as soon as possible. The more ground we have to cover, the more danger we'll be in!" Liskarm replied.

"That's easy to do. I have a route here that the enemy will never think of." Exusiai responded. "So...?" Doctor asked landing. "I'll have to take a look myself first to see if my info is reliable or not." Exusiai answered. "Try to be quick, please." Doctor said tapping his foot. "Anything for you, Doc~! I'll be right back!" Exusiai said taking off.

"If you need anything, please contact another Penguin Logistics agent!" She parted with.

Switching formation, Amiya, Misha, and Liskarm were now in the back, with Franka ahead of them, and the Doctor handling those who got close.

"Can I ask where we're going?" Misha asked Amiya, glancing back at the Doctor, who flipped back from a Caster's Arts, before jumping up the building and kicking them off. "We're meeting with the L.G.D. They will protect you." Amiya replied. "...Huh? The L.G.D.?" Misha asked. "Our current mission is to safely escort you to the L.G.D., and they will provide you with protection." Amiya repeated.

"..." Misha was visibly upset. "I almost believed that you were really here to save me." Misha muttered. "No, we really are... Our original plan was to ask Lungmen to entrust us some of their Infected with us, but after hearing our report, the L.G.D. suddenly asked us to transfer you to them. Besides, in Lungmen, you'll be safest under their protection." Amiya countered. "If we don't act now, you'll be in grave peril. Many of the Infected after you were already wearing Reunion's gear..." Amiya added.

"I don't know anything about this 'Reunion' that you're talking about, but I do know the L.G.D., and I've seen how they treat the Infected. If you wanted to capture me from the beginning, you should've just said so." Misha said with a glare. "I'm sorry. But, that's really not our intention. I know there is still misunderstandings that have to be worked out. But no matter how bad you think we are, please, just bear with us a bit longer." Amiya pleaded. "Your safety takes priority over how you feel. I'll explain everything if I get the chance. After all, there are still things I want to know..." Amiya added.

"Rhodes Island sure is taking their time." Texas, a woman with midnight blue hair and pointed ears atop her head, commented. "...oh?" She hummed seeing a group of Reunuon troops.

"We're almost at the interception point!" A Reunion member announced motioning everyone along.

"Tch. Finally... I just finished unpacking. What a waste." Texas commented. "Hurry up! Those in the back, follow more closely!" The Reunion member ordered. "Hey, masked person over there." Texas called out, announcing her presence.

"Who's there?!" The Reunion member shouted, turning to Texas, who casually walked up. "What do you want?" They asked.

"All of you, come at me. I'm short on time." Texas demanded, making them shocked.
