1st Sortie | Action

[This was a situation Blaze really had no experience with. Not that anyone would- he couldn't imagine there would be anyone out there that would have any experience with the idea of waking up in a weird pod with a pamphlet claiming you're in another world. Waking up in another world aside, Blaze had just gotten out of the Circum-Pacific War, so to say he was tense was putting it lightly. As far as he knew, this was some Belkan trick that they were keeping up their sleeve. He couldn't be sure that the Gray Men weren't involved. But what he was sure of was that, while Belka was easily far more technologically advanced than the rest of the world, there's no way they were advanced enough for flying cars.

There were several thoughts on his mind as he wandered through the city soaking wet. Like why did he have to swim past a bunch of happy robots to get to shore, for one. What was the construction one mentioned? Was he hallucinating? But most importantly, where were his wingmen? Were Nagase, Grimm and Snow in the same boat as he was, but elsewhere? Was Blaze himself the only high value target in this so was he the only one effected?

He shook his head. If his wingmen were around, they could take care of themselves easily. In the meantime, Blaze flipped through the pamphlet again; luckily putting the items he got in his flightsuit pocket prevented them from getting soaked while swimming to shore. Right now he probably looks like a lost tourist more than anything while he tries to get a grasp on the information the pamphlet gave him. Not that he was willing to put on that necklace or turn on the videophone yet, he still had the concern that this was some kind of crazy trap. It's too early for him to assume that the Belkans are going to behave themselves. So instead, he'll just mutter while he walks.]

Necklaces, flying cars, videophones... just what is all of this?

"Nope. There's Guardians for each city, sure, but they don't do much, when it comes to new arrivals. They got no more idea than us how to get back. Military huh? Well you might get some action. Weird stuff happens here a lot."

Great, so much for the idea of talking to people in charge. Then again, Blaze shouldn't put too much faith in that kind of thing for a while- not after he was labeled as a traitor for no apparent reason by his former commanders.

"That doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence in the safety of this place. What kind of 'weird' things happen?"

"Well, me for one," Betelgeuse snickered. "Then some idiot named Lucifer tried to burn the city down. Then we all got turned into fairy tale characters. That was fun, though. I got to be the pied piper!"
