"We need to head south; who knows if these bandits have a camp and where it is? Besides, it will be much easier to hide in that area! But... I'm afraid they'll cut off our escape routes; they won't want us to leave and tell everyone!"
Miya weaved between the trees, trying not to be shot from behind. And that's exactly what happened; she emerged facing two bandits, caught a bullet, and fired back – but only hit once. A signal for Ely, a retreat behind the trees – and her friend finishes the job, eliminating the bandit blocking the escape route... Just as Miya had hoped! At the same time, Ely prevents another enemy from moving. Reloading, back to back, ready for the final dash... But where are the other two?
After a few seconds, only Miya realizes her mistake. Were they so close? Could they have come from all sides and attacked Ely from behind?! No...
Now, retreat is not an option. She will return with Ely, or she won't return at all; Xenomia knew this from the very beginning, when this whole mess started. She... had promised herself.
Miya turned towards the fourth bandit (the closest to her) and fired.
If the bandit is not killed, he stays there.
