Chapter 2 - Stage 8

Opening

The preparations of the mission to rescue Captain Marie went smoothly.
With this information, the important thing right now is to do enough reconnaissance and form a rescue team.
That was also being done. We may encounter the Predator on the way.
The predator gets out of control after receiving a certain amount of damage.
According to my incomplete memory, the strategy to defeat it should be surprisingly easy.
I hope this works.

Constantia: We will start with the operation now.
            There is nothing on the ground at the specified coordinates.
            In other words, Captain Marie should be in an underground passage.
            As Master said earlier, our goal is to break the iron-bugs lines and rescue Captain Marie.
            After that, return to the base with minimal damage.
Coco: Ill take the lead here.
      The white shell has big durability and in a narrow passage like this one I will be able to protect you well.
Constantia: Alright, we will leave the defence to you. Then Griffon your job will be the detection of the enemies.
            Im sure the predator is going to appear, so we have find her first.
Griffon: Leave it to me, if its moving Ill detect it.
Constantia: Thank you. Lets start the sortie.
            Lets do our best to rescue Captain Marie.
            She will be a great help for Master.

Ending

Coco: Captain?! Captain?!... Where are you?!
      Captain...? Ah...!
Marie: Didnt I tell you to not yell on the battlefield?
Coco: Woah! Captain! You were safe!
      I was very worried since Captain was alone...
Marie: Did you forget my words? "Ill be okay. Escape to a safe place"
       Im not weak enough to succumb to these brainless iron-bugs.
       Also dont call me captain.
       Im not suited for that tittle right now.
       When our number increases and we have a real war.
       Allow me to use that tittle once again.
       I managed to complete my mission. It was hard.
Griffon: Captain! Hehe! You are safe!
Marie: Griffon, you are safe too.
       Coco seems to have done a good job with the directions.
Griffon: Yup. The rescue mission was a big success! Captain Marie is also amazing!
         Fighting all those iron-bugs alone...
Marie: You are exaggerating. It was just my mission after all.
       It also looks like you have accomplished yours.
       Finding a new commander.
Griffon: Yeah! We found him, but... human is not that good...
         (Blush)Oh, I dont mean that he is incompetent...
         His combat knowledge is decent I guess...
         Appearance... Average...?
Marie: I get it. From your reaction, Ive got an idea of how he is. We are leaving immediately.
       The new leader of our army... I have to see him in person.
       I have something to report.
       The reason why that monster has deviated from the iron-bugs common behaviour and has gone through a different evolution.
