Dally nodded to Ada's question, "I know what you're thinking, but look at this," she fished out what seemed to be a compact disc inside its case, preserved in a perfect state, from her pocket. "I don't know if you have computers in Cinn, but we're going to use this to initiate an emergency purge on the Marsh. It'll get rid of the toxic material. It's the result of our research... To avoid detection by the security mainframe, we must access the old sewage system from the closest interface to Point City. We'll be able to get rid of a good portion of the noxious elements within the place. It'll give us more time to take everyone out of there..."
"If we don't do this, then even if we make it on time, the Marsh will probably have killed everybody... It's a really, really nasty place from what I've heard," Iris added, "Just walking in it saps your strength, and given the amount of people currently sent there, I'd say they'll be bringing heavy reinforcements to keep them there until they die of intoxication..." she gulped.
Dally continued, "If we access the guard post and hack our way from there, we'll have no problem rescuing Nati and the others. That's why we must do this first!"
------------------
After they had all been well rested, the party made its way down the road that lead outside the barren land full of scrap metal, a typical junkyard. The foul stench of what seemed to be a garbage disposal site began filling everyone's nostrils the more they advanced in the way of blackened spot of soil, which extended nearly a kilometer in diameter.
Covering her mouth, Dally waved a hand to signal everyone to hide behind a ruined bunker. It would hide their prescence if for a little while. Whilst there, they could all see the guard post:
It was a large, transparent dome-like structure which paled in comparison to the much larger, chrome-plated dome just beneath it; The Marsh. The sisters explained to the party that after the meltdown in Point City, the government had enclosed the ruins so the pollution wouldn't spread from the city, but unfortunately that had not gone well, as evidenced by the blackened soil. Without the thick dome surrounding the ruins however, the toxic air would have eventually covered it all in a much larger area.
The comparatively smaller and transparent dome was housing a building that worked as the outpost to guard the Marsh. People could be seen walking around it, most of them guards, and at the top of the second floor, there was one peculiar figure that differed from the rest.
Clad in what seemed to be platinum armor covering all of their body, the individual's identity was a mystery, clearly no one they had seen before, but definately someone who stood out. The person had their face hidden by a masked helmet of the same material that armor was, but it was clear they were staring at the bunker, as if they already had seen the Party and was awaiting movement.
Iris's eyes bulged, being the first one to notice this mystery figure, as she saw through the small gap of the bunker that the individual had held an arm out in their direction. The ground shortly began quaking.
"Guys! We've been spotted!" Dally growled. Troops were moving their way!
It was as if they had been waiting for them all along...

"There goes the element of surprise..." Dally cringed.
"Guys, we'll disable those mean turrets!" Iris cried, bouncing in her place, "Just make sure to carve a safe path for us to reach the mainframe and we'll hack the sewage. Don't bother if more enemies come out, once we get the program going, it'll destroy any firewall or protection the system has, and we'll be able to manipulate Marsh!"
"You heard her," Dally nodded, "Be extra careful here... Those guys at the front are just grunts, but that guy... girl, whatever they are, on the back, is sending chills down my spine," she swallowed, getting ready to charge the nearby turret.
The armored commander at the back lifted their arm up and a ray of light descended from the sky, a lightening bolt striking their gauntlet to produce what seemed to be a beautiful rapier, which they brandished and pointed it at the party, not saying anything, but eliciting a battle cry from the grunts.
They were ready to attack.
