(Outside the Capital, near Bandit's base)

Tatsumi and Esdeath both sat at the edge of a cliff that overlooked the bandit's base. Down below were the rest of the Jaegers, preparing for their assault on the bandit's camp. "We should be able to see the show from up here. It will be quite the spectacle." Esdeath commented.

"I wonder if it's okay for me to be the only one to be relax?" Tatsumi muttered to himself, before a thought came to mind. 'Ah, isn't this a good chance for me to escape?' However, that plan was quickly crushed as a blushing Esdeath gripped his hand with hers. 'No! I can't possible escape now!' Tatsumi thought in defeat.

Boom!

A loud explosion startled Tatsumi and even Esdeath. The two looked up to see a large plume of smoke rising from bandit's camp, which was currently ablaze. At first Esdeath had thought it was caused by her team, only see them still walking towards the camp. She narrowed her eyes, contemplating whether or not to go and investigate. Eventually she decided not to, as this would still present a good opportunity to see her new team in action.

Back with the rest of the Jaegers, they had already seen the explosion coming from the bandit camp and immediately picked up their pace to investigate. When they arrived, they could see the destruction done to the base up close. The flames could be seen over the wall that surrounded the base, with the smoke rising high up into the sky. A few corpses lied near the entrance, either burned to the bone or ripped apart into bloody pieces. It was quite the grueling sight.

"Who, or what, could have done this?" Wave, a young man from the Imperial Navy, asked.

"I never read about any Teigu that could be capable of such destruction." Rune, an attractive blonde young man, said. He gazed deep into the fire, trying to see any movement within.

"Wait! I can see something moving!" Bols, the largest member with a muscular built and wearing a gas mask, informed.

The others readied themselves as the silhouette of a person could be seen within the flames. Seryu, who was now sporting metal arms, stood protectively in front of Dr. Stylish, a flamboyant looking man wearing a lab coat.

Coming out of the burning camp was none other than Natsu. He looked perfectly fine as he walked through the fire covered base. "Ah, those guys were no fun. I guess I could give the food and gold I found to the slum folks, so it wasn't all pointless." Natsu said to himself, before realizing that he was facing the Jaegers. "Hello" Was all Natsu said.

Wave blinked, not expecting this. After all, who comes out of a burning base, completely fine, and the first thing they say is "hello?" It made no sense to the sailor.

"You!" It was Kurome who responded first. Drawing her sword, the assassin attacked Natsu before any of the Jaegers could speak. The pinkette merely blocked the blade with two fingers easily.

Natsu gave Kurome a bored look. "Er, have we met before?" He asked, genuinely confused.

Of course, that only angered Kurome further, as she tried to aim a kick at Natsu's head. But the young man easily dodged the blow, followed by a palm thrust that sent Kurome flying backwards. She was saved from violently crashing by Wave, now wearing his armored Teigu, Grand Chariot. Having come to the conclusion that this new person was an enemy, the rest of the Jaegers sprang into action: Rune activated Mastema, its wings popping out from the disks on his back, and the blonde took to the air. Bols readied Rubicante, the flamethrower pointed at Natsu. Dr. Stylish stepped back, preferring to watch the scene from a safe distance. Seryu charged straight towards Natsu, a mad grin on her face, now distorted into a feature of insanity.
