…………

🔇 N/A

✦

After making her way through a long, narrow passage, she finally found her footing.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

I’m finally here…

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

But where is here?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Excuse me, Durandal-sama!

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

Hmm?

🔇 N/A

✦

Thud—

🔇 N/A

✦

With a muffled thud, she slid out from the pipe and onto the floor and then immediately stood up.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Another smooth landing!

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

(Ugh… I’ve embarrassed myself yet again in front of Durandal… Susannah, why are you always so clumsy!)

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

Susannah, are you alright?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

It’s nothing, I'm used to this sort of thing. It doesn't hurt at all, it felt kinda soft even…huh?

🔇 N/A

✦

She then noticed she was standing in the middle of a large cardboard box padded with old clothing.

🔇 N/A

✦

And alll around her were eyes glaring.

🔇 N/A

Alert Cat

✦

Meow… Meow…

🔇 N/A

Cat in the dark

✦

Meow!

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

It seems you’re an intruder.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

I’m so sorry, I didn’t hurt anyone, right?

🔇 N/A

Cat in the dark

✦

Meeeeoow!

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Waaa, please dont scratch my legs, Ill leave your home!

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black momentarily. >

✦

The cats all jumped into the box, staking their claim, as Susannah clumsily made her exit.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Ohhh, I didn’t mean to do that… Huh? Where are Alvitr and Rita-sama?

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

When we went down the dark passageway, there was a fork and we became separated.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

But Alvitr is an experienced Valkyrie and with Rita around, she should be fine. Let’s focus on what’s going on here first.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Right! Alvitr is a lot braver than me; she'll be fine! So then… What is this place? There are so many cats here.

🔇 N/A

✦

Susannah surveyed the place by the faint light. It looked like a warehouse, with crates, boxes, and what looked to be an automatic feeder.

🔇 N/A

✦

And everything was marked "Knight Kat."

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

I see Knight Kat's name everywhere, and plenty of feeding machines. If I’m not wrong, we’re in Knight Kat's secret base!

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Wait, that’s…

🔇 N/A

✦

Seeming to have found something, Susannah approached an old shelf in the corner of the room, and on it was Knight Kat's emblem.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Durandal-sama, come look, quick!

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

What’s up, Susannah? What'd you find?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Look underneath, it's Schicksal's emblem!

🔇 N/A

✦

Susannah shined her phone flashlight onto the Knight Kat emblem on the shelf. There were scratches all over it, revealing Schicksal’s emblem underneath.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

This can’t be… Schicksal storage, can it?

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

Schicksal storage… Like an emergency stockpile for use during combat?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Right! Schicksal constructed underground storage for stockpiling emergency supplies.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

All the underground storage was built in the same way. I used to maintain a stockpile like this one, so I’m pretty familiar with how they’re laid out.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

I’m almost positive this is one of those emergency Schicksal storages.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

It’s possible. But if I recall, after the Great Eruption, with the shrinking war front, these should have been sealed off.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Right. There were no plans to continue using them, so they were abandoned. Maybe they stopped cleanup because rebuilding the city took priority.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

That makes sense. Perhaps someone found this one and converted it into a secret base.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

But… If this is Knight Kat's secret base, those feeders will probably turn into robots, right?

🔇 N/A

✦

Bzzz—

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

…!

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

It can’t be…

🔇 N/A

✦

As the two pondered, they heard a sound Susannah recognized. She turned her phone’s flashlight in the direction of the feeders to find…

🔇 N/A

✦

The feeders began to vibrate. The vibrating increased as their outer casing came undone.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

It looks like they are transforming! Get ready to fight, Susannah!

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

I’m scared of whatever comes next!

🔇 N/A

< Jotnar (Ancient Mech) and Black Kingsguard (Frost Rattler) spawns. >

< Hellfire Mecha and Flash Titan (Titan) spawns. >

< MR-06X Hephaestus spawns. Story resumes after enemies are defeated. >

Susannah

✦

It’s all my fault for causing such a ruckus.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

I’s not your fault. If this place really has been converted to a base, it’d make sense there’d be defenses built in.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

And we just happened to trigger those defenses.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

I was too reckless. But then that means… the patrolman really is Knight Kat?

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

It doesn’t add up. Isn't Knight Kat a hero that keeps the peace in Meow Town?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

I don’t know how true the legend is, but I bet it's based in some truth…

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Where Knight Kat appears, a group of cats isn't too far behind. He doesn’t just have the ability to control cats, but he also has the power to turn a small town into a cat city.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

It sounds like magic. But think about it another way.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

What if this town turned Into Meow Town because someone turned it into a place cats love to be.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

Someone turned it into a place cats love to be… That would explain why all the crates have been converted into cat homes.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

And looking at how neat it is, It's probably cleaned regularly.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

From what the locals have told me, this was just an ordinary cat loving town before the patrolman came.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

After he arrived, he brought with him the feeders, making this a more suitable place for cats to live. And so more and more cats came to live here.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

And eventually, the town became Meow Town.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

I imagine he would come in and out only at night so as to not be seen. No wonder no one figured it out.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

Perhaps because they were familiar with him, cats would follow him as he went about, adding to the lore of Knight Kat to those that didn’t know the truth. It makes sense.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

But… Why would the feeder turn into a robot? What benefit does that offer cats?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

That I’m not sure. Perhaps… It's all one big conspiracy!

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

A conspiracy?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Right! Everything he did to build Meow Town was so that he could control the whole town!

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

So he would hide from the residents, place feeders In every corner of town, wait for the right moment, and activate all his robots!

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

And is he just now setting his plan in motion?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

No Durandal-sama, I have an even more outrageous guess — His plan is not yet complete, but he has been forced to start early because Kitty and Stan found out!

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Kitty said Stan had been messing with the feeders for two days, and she was always chasing after it. Maybe they found out the secret and were captured!

🔇 N/A

✦

ln that storage, Susannah flailed about as she made her wild accusations while Durandal listened closely, nodding from time to time.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

It’s a bit far fetched, but coming up with so many possibilities with just a few clues, maybe you really are suited to be a detective.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

I-I-I just like playing games and reading stories, so I just think like that. It’s nothing really!

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

It’s always good to have some ideas handy. And I think some of your guesses actually make sense.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Huh? If I’m right, that means Kitty and Stan are In danger! And I wonder how Alvitr and Rita are doing.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

Right. We’ll have to figure out a way to find them. We should look for the control center, which will give access to the entire storage's surveillance.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

If I recall… It should be in the area right below us…

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

Susannah, you know where the control center is?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Oh, I forgot to mentlon — When I was cleaning the storage, I would trigger the defense system all the time.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

So I went ahead and committed the storage blueprint to memory. If the layout here is similar to the other storage facilities, I shouldn’t have any issue finding the control center.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

Committed to memory… That's one way to do it.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

I know it’s dumb Durandal, I'm sorry. I Just want to help everyone.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Everyone’s so good to me. If I cause so much trouble for something as small as cleaning storage, everyone must thing I’m useless.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

No, that’s not what I mean.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

I’m saying it’s great; thanks to you memorizing the storage, you can guide us there.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Guiding Durandal-sama… Ahhh — Noooo, I can't…

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

Huh? Why not? I dont know anything about the storage's layout… You leading me there makes the most sense.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

But what if l remember incorrectly and mess up?

🔇 N/A

✦

She lowered her head, trying to hide her nervousness and hesitation.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

… I’m afraid to make a mistake. I always make mistakes.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

You underestimate yourself too much Susannah. You're the one that led us to this storage facility.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

Even in some place you'd never been to before, you found the right way. Why would you have any trouble here in a place you’re already familiar with?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Because… Because… Oh, I dont know… Before I didnt seem scared at all!

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

But then when you asked me to lead the way, I became nervous.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

You mean you can do something well if you're not thinking about it, but when it officially becomes a mission, you feel overwhelmed?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

I-I don’t know… When I train, I dont feel nervous at all. But when it comes time for the real thing, I can’t even move…

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

You put too much pressure on yourself. Just treat this as one of your daily cleanings.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

I can try to treat this as a daily cleaning… but what if something happens?

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

l'm here aren't I? If something comes up, we’ll deal with it together. It’s better than running around aimlessly.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

A-Alright, I’ll give it a try. But if anything goes wrong, forgive me!

🔇 N/A

Durandal

✦

Right. I know you can do it, Susannah.

🔇 N/A
