'Departing in this kind of weather? I can't imagine things going well.' Rory muttered to herself, observing the dark clouds and turbulent winds.

"It's our first time flying," Tuka exclaimed, her eyes wide with excitement and anticipation.

"I think it's called a 'Stallion.' I've seen them fly around before." Rory replied, recalling the distinctive helicopter used for transport and heavy lifting.

"I'm looking forward to it." Lelei chimed in, her calm and composed demeanor unchanged.

Curiosity piqued, Rory couldn't help but voice her thoughts.

'What's the purpose of us flying anyway? I don't understand why the members of Mike's team would be given a mission like this.' Rory told herself in her head.

As they pondered the reason behind their unexpected assignment, a truck laden with supplies rolled in, accompanied by several Marines who swiftly commenced unloading the cargo and transferring it onto the waiting Super Stallion.

Mike finally arrived, accompanied by an unexpected guest by his side.

He appeared slightly taken aback as he posed the question.

"Um, are you really coming with us?" Mike asked.

Princess Piña Co Lada beamed, clutching an umbrella and replying enthusiastically.
