Chapter 16

Lorisa's first mission on her own was something she considered a very exciting thing. She can finally prove herself to her party of her not being extra and how she can legitimately contribute something. Standing in line, she awaiting the next assignment, though Colbert would cross her mind occasionally. Whatever he was doing, she would surely know one day. Or she would wake up. Either way, she was not too concerned. Her shoulders stiffened up as soon as Captain Codwell crossed into the room.

"Agents, your assignment this time is simple and life threatening. The agents in the party for the Midwest will be coming with me to handle the Rock Worms in the north before they go beyond our reach. Everyone else. You will be attacking the blood testing facility and now that they have no way to fight without their Rock Worms or Daptive, we will have an opportunity to strike. They're leaving themselves open. Let's go men."

And it was said. Lorisa followed her group and was ready for combat. If she could defeat one before, surely she could do it again. Boarding the T1 3000, they were ready to vanquish these creatures. 

Zitro was on the same mission as her and he was the first to greet, "Are you ready? I've been pumped about this since I heard we were going hunting."

"Hunting? There should only be one."

"No, I think you're confused. Dozens are at wherever we're going to."

Now she could not help but feel a little anxious without her partner.

A couple hours had past by when Agent Tex said to Codwell from where he was driving, "Captain...this is not good..."

"My gosh." They were in awe, "The size of that thing is ridiculous."

As soon as they turned to the right, she was able to see what they were talking about and was in equal if not surpassed awe. A huge, ellaborate, black tower built like an old cathedral if it was the size of a mountain. She was utterly amazed until she saw a Rock Worm crawl through one of the windows and she knew it was going to be a long mission. The building had to be at least twenty stories.

"Load up! Nothing about this tower gives off 'cake walk' vibes." Flight Agent Tex blurted.

After landing safely for once, they began patrolling the area.

"My gosh, you're not even the slightest bit nervous?" Zitro asked as he locked his weaponry in.

She scoffed, "No, I am just aware that I can't die."

"Wait, so you're immortal? Is that how you got in the resistance?"

"No, I'm dreaming."

"Huh-"

"Anyhoo, we have a battle to win. We should focus, don't you think?"

"...Yeah. Sure...."
