War
Han Mi:
Jane and the fairy were shown a tunnel leading up and away, towards the city of New Albion, where the attack by the Cascadian Alliance was beginning

Climbing out of the tunnels...

Fairy:
The race we run is fighting, dizzy and exciting the bonnies bump and never bow...

Jane:
Well you’re in a good mood

Fairy:
I love the dwarves! More dwarves!

Jane:
It’s nice to see you smile. You have a wonderful smile

Fairy:
You’re sweet Miss. I thought humans were all sucky til i met you. Oh, i think we’re here

Han: Jane and the fairy emerged from a tunnel near the New Albion waterfront...

Jakob:
The Hellhounds come a riding, we strike like lightning and the race we run is frightening

Han:
Dammit!
Jane:
Dammit! How did they find us?

Han:
How did they find them?

Lloyd:
Probably a fae aura tracking mechanism

Raven:
Convenient plot device. Does it matter?

Jane:
My city! They’re attacking my city!

Fairy:
Oh Miss, i'm so sorry. What do we do?

Jane:
We need to get to Xandoria and hope the Singularity is still on schedule

Fairy:
Where are my people?

Jane:
They’ll be there
Lloyd:
Stay calm. Adapt. Finesse

Han:
Fortunately they don't see the two girls

Jakob:
There they are!

Han:
Oh come on!

They fire at the pair, one of the blasts piercing Jane’s wings... no, it doesn’t pierce Jane’s wing (noise begins), okay! never mind... uhm, ok, so Jane and the fairy manage to flee anyway...

Jakob:
They’re hurt! We’ve got em

Han:
What do i do?

Lloyd:
Okay, stop. Don't contradict the narrative, if you break it all is for naught. Creative solutions. Creative solutions

Han:
Circles never stop themselves
All you chase and all you’ve held
All the pain that you have known
The time has come to let it go
Jakob:
Finish them!

Han:
Dammit!

Raven:
It’s not like worked last time either

Lloyd:
Don’t panic

Raven:
Allow me

The city is alight with bombs and fighting. A rogue explosive flies in out of nowhere, detonating close by the shocked unit. Jane and the fairy, covered by ash and debris escape into the smoke

Han: The city is alight with bombs and fighting. A rogue explosive flies in out of nowhere, detonating close by the shocked unit. Jane and the fairy, covered by ash and debris escape into the smoke

Thank you

Raven:
I will always have your back when you need it. No matter my past sins and personal... challenges, i can and be will someone supportive and loving to you

Han: Now? You’re going to do this now?

Lloyd:
You’re losing the narrative. Get it back before it’s out of your grasp

Han: They all run frantically through the exploding chaos towards the park

.....

The two sides throw everything they have at one another. The waves of attack keep coming and New Albion starts to buckle under the savage invasion

As a new wave of invaders breech the city’s defenses, the Mayor picks up a grenade launcher and steps out to meet them. And so the mayor dies protecting the city she loves

The Mayor:
You always go down fighting
You gotta show some grit
You gotta hold your ground
You gotta go down with the ship
You don’t cry for mercy
You don’t play the gimp
It’s a world of bastards
And you never ever let them win
You don’t beg and cower
You don’t cry for help
It’s up to you, girls
To send them straight to hell
