Operation 2-5: Remnants

Same time after Tempest brought Ch'en to Rhodes Island

10:14 AM/Humid/Visibility: 2 km
Chernobog, Main Plaza - Reunion Base Camp

The broken city of a once great community, now in shambles after it was struck with a raid and catastrophe. The Ursus city of Chernobog has now fallen into the hands of Reunion, and it's citizens were either dead or have fled.

Acting as the center of Reunions plans, they have now acquired the city as their main base of operations. And as of this moment, all the prominent leaders, excluding Skullshatterer who was on an operation assigned to him with a platoon of Reunion soldiers, held a meeting to discuss their next plan.

Inside a deserted building, forming a circle inside one of the rooms, with Talulah at the edge, they discuss their plans regarding the raid that will happen soon in Lungmen.

"You can count on Faust and me! They wont stand a chance against us." A boy said wearing a white uniform with a Reunion insignia on it, holding what seems to be a sort of weapon that pertains to his arts.

They were at the end of their discussion regarding Lungmen, so the boy named Mephisto  announced in glee of his given task.

"...right." The pythian man named Faust who sat beside him replied, while he restrings his crossbow.

"And I'm supposed to go into another route?" A girl wearing casual clothes with a hood and orange hair said. "Why?"

"You don't need to care. Just know that victory is assured." Their ringleader Talulah replied to the girl which was known as Crownslayer. "Fate is on our side, as long as we don't let doubt wash over us, victory will come right to it's place under our feet." She states as the others nod in agreement.

"If the lineup has been settled, then I guess that I won't be on active duty for a while." On the side near Patriot and Frostnova stood a sarkaz girl with short hair and red streaks fumbling with her fingers. "I kinda need your permission oh great Talulah, I gotta go see an old friend of mine in Lungmen before you guys start the operation." She said.

"And who might that be miss W?" The old and tall sarkaz man wearing tattered garments and a skull of an animal asked.

"Don't worry about his identity, he's just someone I met in Victoria six years ago who is currently at Lungmen for his job." She replied, unknown to them, her fingers were crossed.

"Lies." Talulah said directly to W who flinched at her sudden response. "I can sense a tinge of deceit in your words, the others may not sense it, but I do. I suggest you tell us the the truth about the person whom you're meeting with."

"What're you talking about? I said that he's just an old friend of mine." She fumbled again.

"...right." Talulah waved it off. "Now on to the next matter. Frostnova, you wanted to see a particular individual am I correct?"

"Yes." The cautus girl wearing snow garments said. "I need to see this 'Vortex' person." She declared with determination.

Hearing the name Vortex brought a wave of mixed feelings to the Reunion leaders.

Among Reunion, Vortex was considered a hero. An unknown individual that brought nothing but victory in the battles they have faced. Every one of them knows him to a certain degree, varying on the plethora of influences he has brought upon them.
