The Gray Ravens exited the hangar and Raiden meanwhile hanged out with Bianca and catch up a little bit
He allowed the Gray Ravens to do whatever they want has he some business to attend too

He opened the door... In the room was Celica and Hassen and Nikola
Seems something urgent was needed to be summoned and him specifically

Nikola:"Take a seat"

Raiden did what he was told and took a seat on the opposite side of Nikola
Hassen the coughed and sighed

Hassen:"I've called you specifically because of your... Accomplishment with the Forest Guards"

Raiden nodded but he waiting for something... Nikola just closed his eyes and waited

Hassen:"I wanna ask... Can we fully trust them?"

Raiden looked at Hassen

Raiden:"The People of ARU has refused to accept this but we can expect them to trust us on future battles"

Nikola:"So a no... Then"

Raiden shaked his head no

Raiden:"Its been established that the People of Aru will never side with Babylonia but will allow them to continue our missions in their region"

Hassen:".. So they gave us a greenlight to do what our bidding our...i see"

Nikola:"Its not the desired Outcome we wanted"

Nikola remained steadfast and began mocking the Aru... Raiden kept his composed face while Hassen tried to calm Nikola about the situation

Nikola:"Not only have we lost... The special relic... We've also got the Aru dismissing us"

Raiden sighed his head...he'd grown to just live with the fact that Nikola will always want the Babylonia to be ahead of everything and everyone

Hassen:"That's enough Nikola... Celica you and Raiden are dismissed"

Celica and Raiden nodded before walking out of the room... They closed the door once they got out

Celica:"How's the mission"

Raiden:"Didn't expect the Corrupted to be in mass... They seem to be attracted towards the Region"

Celica nodded as the two continued to walk

Raiden:"The Narwhal... I can sense its systems will not remain longer due to the Ascendant"

Celica:"Why?"

Celica asked and Raiden turned to her

Raiden:"Narwhal's system... Sustained irrecoverable damage... In a few days... It will die"
