Hotaru knew something was wrong even before Chi bursted into the room. The castle, the castle wasn't safe anymore. She grabbed Asho and Chi without a question and disappeared in a gust of wind, leaving Chi outside. She turned back the castle and forced her wind back into it, grabbing whoever she could find that wasn't infected.

Chi explained the whole thing to her, telling how Vienna had gotten cut and everything. Hotaru listen with half an ear while she transported what little of the subjects were still in the castle. Most of them were already on the battlefield.

"Hotaru? What's going on?" asked Ita.

The three of them has returned from the harbor.

"The Master," Asho said flatly. "Looks like he found away to get into the castle. Vienna is still in there somewhere. Hotaru trying to find survivors who haven't been infected and is trying to get them out."

"Seika?" Ita questioned. A worry tone entered his voice.

"Frontline," said Asho. "With Riku, Kyo and Arashi."

"I found Mathis and Dunn. They're alright," said Hotaru. The two messengers appeared, falling to the ground."
