2-12 End of Torture
The Gray Raven squad arrives at an abandoned subway station with its roof destroyed.
Lee, I'm going to put you down now. Please wait a moment while I heal you!
Lee, hang in there, we'll be able to go back soon!
...
A figure emerges from the broken ruins.
You are... the Gray Raven squad?
Thank goodness you're alright.
Sorry, allow me to introduce myself.
I'm Chrome, the leader of Strike Hawk.
HQ sent me here to pick you guys up, I'll arrange for the transport aircraft to take you to the nearest base for maintenance.
...Thank you! Lee...
It's alright, I'll take care of him.
Thank you...
The Gray Raven squad, together with Chrome supporting Lee, finally made it back to the surface.
Destroying Iron Maiden is very commendable...
Now that the biggest obstacle in the area has been eliminated, we humans can finally build a new base here.
Is that... so...
But...
...
Members of Strike Hawk are usually deployed all over the world and work individually, and our most urgent mission now is to find out all we can about the "Ascendants".
As far as I know, the Ascendants already withdrew from this area before this mission.
And the Ascendants were the ones who created Iron Maiden. This unknown power is still a threat to us.
I'm afraid we'll find ourselves in a much more difficult position soon...
Gray Raven boards the transport craft. On board, there is a female Construct covered in injuries.
Look at you, Lee, you've seen better days.
Uh huh? Let me return the favor and tell you that you've seen far better days.
Hmph.
You two know each other?
The transport aircraft takes off, finally taking Gray Raven away from the streets of City 015.
Steady footsteps can be heard from a cave hidden by the sand, leading to the inside of the subway station.
A petite figure emerges from the darkness...
How pathetic, my dear sister.
You've been weakened by the humans...
And you forgot me...
But no matter...
The day we meet again will come.
I'll make you "whole" again.
And that sister will come back to me again...
We'll live... Together in this world...
Let's welcome the coming of the "dawn" together...
