It was good to be shooting stuff again. Reminded me of the time when Eri, Tarma, and I had to plow through an asston of zombies just to catch up to Marco. Still, nothing beats out torching stupid mummies with a flamethrower.

Hey, is there a girl named Kiyone around here? Virginia's looking for you!

Not this again...

*Fio's only armed with her regular gun and a knife, but she's making mincemeat out of the zombies*

My troop used to eat zombies for breakfast. You're gonna be child's play compared to what I've been up against.

Hey, this new island is kind of neat.

I haven't been able to do much exploring because of my injuries, but I have managed to sneak away for a few minutes here and there. So far, things look kosher.

What sucks is that I gotta rebuild my arsenal. I hope the forest has a gun section like the other one.

So um... where are we supposed to live?

*Fio wakes up with a very loud bear yawn. She's on the beach, next to the bridge that suddenly appeared.*

H-hey... how long was I out? And where did this bridge come from?

Wonder where it leads to... And where'd Ryoma go?

*Fio's not about to let her new home get torched/sunk/parched/etc. She's at the beach, loading up on as much sand as she can carry. She's already made about two trips back and forth to the forest, trying to snuff out the flames. And it's taking its toll. She starts filling up another bag of sand.*

Ugh, I wish I had more hands...

These stupid earthquakes need to stop already! I can't do my routine target practice with the ground shaking every ten minutes. I really don't want accidentally shoot someone because of it.

I also heard the big hole is getting even bigger. Is that true?

I really hope it's just my imagination, but...

Did the ground just move?

I think my ears are still ringing from that curse. So much cool music and being wild...

Though I don't remember this teddy bear being here before. It looks-

IT LOOKS JUST LIKE PEPPINO!!

*A young woman is hard at work in her family's shop. Business is okay, though her family is being harassed more frequently. She wants to protect them, but is still seen as a fragile girl. Little does her family know that she's aiming to join the military. Once she's done, she waves to her mom*

I'm going to Tonio's, Mama! And I promise to be

That was... LOTS OF FUN!

I mean I'm glad to have my old roommates back (believe me, I hugged Tonio and Okuyasu to death), but it's always cool to meet new people. Ashura (I hope I spelled that right XD), you want to go look for books sometime?
