Chapter 26: A New Generation Rises
"This hurts like hell!" Astra groaned, holding her wounded palm, her breath separated into soft pants as if to distract herself from the painful throb in her hand. "I swear– If I ever see that Belk guy again..."

"What now?!" She snapped, grabbing a leaf and making a makeshift bandage, her breathing only getting more intense as it pressed against the wound more and more.
[Belk has engaged in combat with another scout!]
"Huh—" she panted, her report catching her off guard.
[Should we retreat?]
"No, follow the plan!" She ordered, standing up on her own two feet before taking a deep breath in. "Take the gunpowder to the cliff!"
[Understood!]
Astra started to run, each step inciting breath from her as she started to pick up the pace.

A portal started to tear the space before her, the young technician pushing off the moment she saw it, jumping straight through.
