"In Laus, Erik tells Eliwood of a plan. A plot to use Laus as starting ground in a rebellion against Ostia. Eliwood needs proof to believe these accusations, and so he and his allies pursue Darin, the fleeing marquess of Laus. Where that chase would lead, Eliwood could not have known." David said.
"Everyone, we gotta get going!" Ibuki said, rushing in. "Castle Caelin is under attack by Marquess Laus's army!"
"Castle Caelin? That's where we last met Lyn." David said. "This sure is gonna be a heck of a thing to reunite in."
"We should get to her aid as quickly as we can." Hope said.
"Maybe sooner than you think. Look." Jet said pointing out ahead as Florina was moving to avoid the fire from the archers.
"Hey! Florina!" David called out.
"Ah! Everyone, you came!" Florina said.
"Damn right we did." Hope said.
"Please...go and help everyone else. The castle is under major fire." Florina said.
"Can do, Florina." Scarlet said. "Leopardmon, David, any strategies for us?"
"There are a lot of enemies between us and Lyn's group. Fortunately, though, we have units among us that work very well in forests." Leopardmon said. "Cheetah and Poison Ivy will clear a path to the castle amongst the enemies."
"After they accomplish that, we'll have people like me, Gray, Juvia, Franny, Captain Cold, Arctozolt and Mermista head to the castle to try to mitigate the flames." David said.
"Gotcha." Mermista said.
"The rest of us can deal with the enemy main bulk heading into battle." Jexi said.
"Is everybody ready? Let's move out!" David said.
They all quickly engaged in battle as Cheetah and Poison Ivy went and cleared them a path using both claws as well as vines.
"This isn't too hard in the least. Which is eerily...strange. They should be doing their best to take the castle." Poison Ivy said.
"Somehow...I don't think these are their best soldiers." Cheetah said.
It was at the castle that the four had taken down the soldiers guarding the castle.
"This seemed almost too easy." Gray said.
"Strange… It doesn't look like there's anyone else here. They must've likely escaped." David said. "But it doesn't make any sense. Why would they leave the defenses so undermanned in that case?"
"Likely to keep us distracted while they made their getaway." Gray said.
"And they left behind the soldiers they considered useless in an effort to trim down their forces." Captain Cold. "This may seem forced from me but...that's just cold."
"Ditto. Those soldiers were just meat shields whom they don't care if they live or die." David said. "I can't stand people who do stuff like that."
"That's not the worst part. I checked inside. There was blood on the ground...in Lord Caelin's chamber." Francisca said.
"Seriously? Damn it… They really got us this time." David said.
"Let's just hope we can make sense of this after everything calms down." Mermista said.
