Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Beyond Fate

My hero!

Sora's POV

We continue jogging to towards one of the locations Valdi needed to go to collect materials. Valdi is just jogging while looking at my Nopon Phone, curious at what it can do.

Sora:" Valdi, don't jog and look at the phone at the same time."
Valdi:" But it's so interesting! Like you said, it's like our Iris but so much more!"
Sora:" Your gonna trip and get hurt."
Valdi:" No I wo-"

He immediately trips and falls on his face, making me laugh a bit before picking him back up.

Sora:" What I'd tell you?"
Valdi:" You didn't have to laugh at me..."
Sora:" It'll teach you to listen to what I say, kid."
Valdi:" I know..."
Eunie:" Anyone else notice how... close they seem now?"
Mio:" You see it too, right?"
Taion:" They just met and are acting like they've known each other forever."
Noah:" Considering Sora's personality, it isn't a surprise he'd get along with others."
Eunie:" He's quiet at times, though... like someone else here."
Taion:" And who are you referring too?"
Sena:" It could be because Sora said Valdi reminds him of someone from his world."
Noah:" He does?"
Lanz:" Yeah, apparently Sora misses that person a lot."
Noah:" Hm..."

We continue jogging, going down a hill until we reach an open area where we see two Levnis's, one from Keves and one from Agnus fighting each other.

Valdi:" There! I want the parts from that big guy!"
Manana:" Which big guy?"
Valdi:" The Kevesi... Wait. The damage to the leg, I fixed it for another colony not long ago."

The Kevesi Levnis then charges forward, going through the Agnian Levnis and destroying it.

Valdi:" Ah!"
Manana:" This horrible..."
Valdi:"..."
Manana:" Valdi ok?"

The Kevesi Ferronis rolls up to us, seemingly getting ready to attack.

Valdi:" I get it... so this is how my Levnises have been treated..."
Lanz:" Sorry to rush you, mate, but we don't have time to be standing around."
Valdi:" Why? What's happening?"

I grab Valdi's face and turn it around, making him face the Levnis in front of us.

Valdi:" Oh."
Mio:" We're all outlaws, so..."
Noah:" They must've marked us all as a target."
Valdi:" Huh?!"
Lanz:" Gotta do what you gotta do!"
Sora:" Yeah, go outlaws! I'll just be right here with my friendly Nopons, right?"
Riku:" Right."
Manana:" Yep!"

As I step back, I notice a few Mondo's blocking my path.

Sora:" Uh, Taion?"
Taion:" Yes?"
Sora:" I need to step back."
Taion:" Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know what went wrong."

He controls the Mondo to push me forward with a smirk on his face.

Sora:" Tai, what are you doing?!"
Taion:" Using you as bait."
Sora:" Bait?"

The Levnis rolls over to me, basically scanning as it doesn't do anything after. I hear what sounds like motors running and I start running away as it chases me.

Sora:" What the hell?!"
Lanz:" Oi, Taion?!
Mio:" Why'd you do that?!"
Taion:" An experiment. It seems Sora may be a higher priority then us."
Sena:" So, should we help him or...?"
Riku:" No need. Levnis heavily damaged and leg is damaged as well."
