With the source of their immediate troubles taken care off, Mavis could let herself relax, the adrenaline coursing through her veins finally wearing off, even though it meant a little bit more pain waited for her until they could be back at the Academy and she got some proper medical attention, from a certain… very unhappy Lieutenant Colonel. Even so, it was just a minor wound; no one would notice if she didn’t spoke out. All she had to do was grit her teeth and carry on for a couple more hours or so.

[color=de3163]“Well, that was pretty cool, guys. Now that we took out their artillery, we can go back. We probably shouldn’t hang around here more than we need to,”[/color] Mavis said as she came close to the downed alien with her typical smile stamped on her face.

[color=007236]“What Mavis said is correct. All of you, come back at once,”[/color] Lieutenant Isoshima’s voice finally came through the radio. Now that the mission was over she could go back to her regular command duties. [color=007236]“I know that taking down this invader wasn’t a foreseen part of your mission, but I commend all of you for decision. There are… some circumstances we have to talk about, but this can be left for after we are back in a safe zone.”[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]“I don’t normally do it for this much people, but you heard the Lieutenent. It’s time to fall back,”[/color] Subaru’s said as Neptune floated closer to the cadets. Just as her drone came to a halt, Subaru created a portal that would bring them right back to their transport. [color=cornflowerblue]“Since there are some of you who are wounded, you can use it this time,” [/color]she said in her usual deadpan manner.

[color=de3163]“Well then, go on, guys. We’ll be right behind you,”[/color] Mavis said. After all it wasn’t like she could leave until Neptune did as well.
