One hour later...
Ariyae has just landed in a tree at the local park, completely undetected from the enemy and in the heart of their stronghold.
Ariyae: "(deep breath) I'm in."
She hops out, allowing her to realize that the town is dominated by the 20ft tall Gigas race.
Ariyae: "(awkwardly) I'd better pray that these guys don't squish me."
She walks as though she were a part of the oddly huge crowd, but not seeing the Second Page anywhere in sight.
Ariyae: "(in head) Are these bastards just outside? What's going on here?"
However, a large, buff male around 8ft tall wearing a white lab coat, purple belt, tan pants, a black undershirt, a golden wristwatch on his left wrist, black, leather shoes, an ID attached to a purple lanyard that says, "Dr. Veld," short, black hair, tanned skin, and blue eyes is walking along an overhead passage with three Second Page members following him, two Harmonies and a Flora.
Ariyae: "Bing-"
She recognizes Dr. Veld.
Ariyae: "Wait... they seriously can't be friends with Dr. Veld?! Leading researcher in several cure developments and winner of dozens of awards for his research?!"
Harmony 1: "Just keep giving us D-263F and you won't have your power siphoned."
Ariyae gets back in the sky as she eavesdrops on them.
Veld: "You know what my failure does, and you know my comrades are just as capable of fighters as me."
Harmony 2: "That's why we need it, so the effects can be mitigated."
Ariyae: "(in head) Dr. Veld has failed before?"
Flora: "Ixis and Xalliosis have already failed, but mistress Niozal can easily take care of a shrimp like you at the drop of a hat."
Veld: "(clenching fist) You and that sick bastard you call Lazarus won't beat me that easily."
They give him a quick shove.
Harmony 2: "Keep walking wise guy."
Harmony 1: "No one gets in or out of this city without stepping into the lion's den."
They head off.
Ariyae: "That's unless you're me."
Ariyae quickly exists the city from above as Veld notices her in the sky.
Veld: "(in head) What's that Harmony girl doing?"
