Nyx's Phantasma Act 2

Chapter 2: Reunion

Chapter 2: Operation Liberation - Reunion

The cold breeze of the night air blows past my face. Lab and Zola woke up healthy, and Vall has been with #615 for some time on this trip... I was here before with August and everyone... I miss those nights...

Xenia shouts, "Everyone! To the main deck!"

We all walked in with Ace walking with his pillow,

"Ugh I just woke up..."

Xenia points, "Sorry but we're going to skip docking at Gang-Kou Port... We're going straight to Shuto City."

Romulus asks, "But how, that city is surrounded by mountains."

Xenia smirks, "There is a small ravine that leads us into the Index Temple... There we shall meet the man behind the operation."

Vall smiles, "August Kinsley, always wanted to know what kind of bastard he is..."

I asked, "But why? Gang-Kou is right there..."

I could see the city as Xenia sighs,

"These Nox Combat Battalions are everywhere... It's hard for us to go around them."

Vall smacks his fist, "I'll fight them!"

Romulus sighs, "The sheer number of forces the Nox Government was able to hide is... astonishing..."

Ace nods, "They must have planned for this for quite some time... No longer, we thought that Diamond City was relatively small... Similar to Metro City... But it seems that it's far larger, and the army is bigger than we would think..."

Zola asks, "But they are just a bunch of losers!"

Xenia yells back, "Loser's or not we are not risking losing our resources."

Lulu walks in, "Sorry if I was late, what's going on?"

I asked, "When did these Nox Combat Battalions start appearing?"

Lulu sighed, "I don't know... Maybe around a month ago? Emily has been having a hard time dealing with them... especially since she also lost the election to Talon she has been on edge lately."

It took us a couple of more minutes until we arrived at the small ravine that connected to Index temple. Upon the dock a few recognizable people were waiting for us.

Silva Ashley assisted in helping Xenia walk down, "It's nice to see you angina Lyn..."

"Yeah..."

A bit awkward, the last time I saw her... she had such a personality shift it gave me a shock...

Yoko Sasaki, a doctor, also waited to receive medical equipment, and finally... Xander Le Blank was here...

Lulu walks up to Xander, "So, you called?"

"..."

"After all these years I still haven't forgotten what you did to me five years ago..."

"And I am sorry about that..."

Lulu smiles, "Nah don't sweat about it, so... Did you clear your family name?"

Xander looks into the cave, "Not yet... I have one more thing to do..."

Lulu has really matured, I don't know what's gotten between the two of them but... I thought Lulu would be in an outburst.

Xenia then claps her hands for attention, "Yoko, can you take Lab and Zola for some treatment? They are still hurt from being in Titan prison."

Yoko nods, "Gladly."
