The barrier bells' ring. Someone has arrived at the entrance to the city. Komi looks from afar and notices a cart moving closer to the city.
KMI: It must be them!
ASG: Splendid!
KMI: I'll go congratulate our troops!
TRL: We'll be here waiting.
Komi rushes down the stairs of the quarters and runs towards the entrance. She waves at the cart from afar. As the cart approaches, Komi sees the rookies in the front. She realizes their lifeless bodies. She freezes in shock.
KMI: (W-what is this..?)
*WHOOSH*
RHT: Heya, missy.
*SWISH*
Komi sways her hand at you, summoning a cloud of steam, causing you to back up.
RHT: I don't like the look of that gas. Is it poisonous or something?
KMI: You wanna find out, harbinger?
RHT: Big mouth for a knights' lap dog.
KMI: Tsk, I'm gonna kill you!
Komi dashes towards you, releasing steam where she steps. You unsheathe your blade and block her strike. She grabs your blade and releases steam onto it. You dodge backwards.
RHT: What is that supposed to do?
KMI: Heh, you'll see. Crumble.
Your blade crumbles into ash. Komi smiles. You stand in shock at what just happened.
RHT: (Even if a slither of that steam touches me, I'm done for! I have to be careful!)
You summon your second blade and dash towards your opponent, swinging your blade strategically. Komi releases a cloud of steam, obscuring your vision and limiting your movement. You can't see her from it. Komi is on the move. You listen closely.
*CLASH*
RHT: Heard you coming from a mile away.
KMI: Did you see this though?!
RHT: Huh?!
Komi disperses into a cloud of steam. You realize what just happened. That was just a steam copy. The real Komi is somewhere else. She emerges from the smoke behind you and pats you on the shoulder.
KMI: Too slow.
RHT: Heh, you're not the only one with a clone.
KMI: What?!
Your body dissolves into grey goo. The real you grabs Komi from behind and throws her against the hill. You dash towards her, slashing projectiles. She gets back up and dodges the attack.
RHT: (Huh? Why isn't she moving?)
KMI: Look where you are standing.
You look below your feet to see the ground covered in steam. You can't react in time.
KMI: Crumble.
The ground below starts to crumble. You lunge forwards and manage to evade the falling debris. Komi dashes towards you and catches you off guard.
KMI: You've lost, harbinger.
Komi grabs you by the neck and releases steam into your body. You swing your blade and cut her arm off.
KMI: It's too late. The steam is already inside your system. All I have to do is activate it. That is why my soul of punishment reigns supreme!
R̷H̷T̷: *cough* Is that so? You fell for the same trick twice! How can you be so dumb?!
KMI: What are you-
*DISSOLVE*
KMI: It was a c-clone?!
*WHOOSH*
RHT: Exactly.
*SLASH*
Komis' body is sliced in half. The steam dissipates quickly and the area returns to normal. You head on inside the city.
