You look around, trying to catch sight of the reinforcements that Balogh spoke about. In the distance, you can see four specks that grow larger with each passing moment, and your heart leaps. You recognize them as LCH-03 Leaf-cutters, Lemurian transport helicopters that are specifically designed to transport Magikiras units.

You watch as the helicopters land on the glade where Balogh is holed up and a large group of Magikiras users step out. You can't see too clearly, but you think there's about twenty of them out there now, excluding Balogh. A few seconds later, your radio crackles to life again.

"Dorn Wilton, didn't expect to see you on a boat. Too afraid to fight Beasts face to face?" Morgan's voice fills your ears, and you grit your teeth at her words. You retort back, telling him that the corvette will give everyone a significant tactical advantage in the upcoming fight with the pack. "Yeah, yeah, whatever," she drawls slowly before cutting you off. Angrily, you slam your fist into the wall, taking a deep breath to calm yourself down.

A few minutes later, the radio crackles to life and you hear another voice speaking to you.

"First Private Dorn Wilton?" Captain Altug says.
