Catastrophe, I am back. I am already inside the Jokkule, and awaiting orders.

It's time. They'll all hate me. But I have no other choice. 

I take out my gun and point it at all of them.

"Mina, what are you doing?" Shadow asks. She gives me a confused look and that smirk that I've seen so many times.

I take a deep breath and fire at her feet. She leaps back and pulls out a knife from her boot. Of course. The smallest weapon she would use on me. She doesn't want to hurt me yet.

"Is this a joke?" Icy asks with an edge in her voice. Anwen nods and stands beside her, looking slightly frightened.

I quickly scan Icy. Judging by her body size, if I shot her to the left near the stomach but in the part with the most muscle and fat...it would heal quickly. They would give her immediate medical attention. 

I pull the trigger and the bullet impacts Icy within a millisecond.

There's a brief moment of shock before Icy tumbles back and Shadow screams at me. Anwen launches for me, but I dodge back and she lands face-first in the snow.

I shake my head and run through the snow to Catastrophe's ship that agreed to meet me.

As I climb on board, a couple of soldiers salut. "Welcome back, General Courageux," one of them says.

I wave them off and head to the situation deck as the ship flies off. I look back one last time, and Shadow's screams still linger in my ears. 

One of Catastrophe's captains meet me.

"We are heading to his base cuurently. You might be able to meet with him is he is back from his journey."

"...Journey?" I ask.

"Ah, yes. He has recentley recovered the Sword," the captain replies.

I nod as he walks away.

If he's recovered it, then the Resistance is in more trouble than I thought. 

Perfect. General Couraguex has been picked up and Catastrophe is getting the Crown. We might actually be able to defeat my sister and everyone else. 

"You will shortly be brought back to the base," a commander (is Utsukushi a fox?) says. 

I overhear some speaking of, "Reconstruction," but I won't let them control me or do anything to me. I'm a regular Dolor Felis and I intend to stay that way. 

I look out the window, and we head into another patch of snow, ice, and forest. It reminds me of the SOCS Winterwood Base. The ship jerks slightly and begins to lower, and I can see a small concrete landing pad attached to a huge base. And I mean huge. What has Catastrophe been up to?

The hatch door slowly opens, and I eye the the two guards the attempt to casually walk beside me. What am I, a prisoner? Nevertheless, I stand up straighter and walk down the bay door, heading outside to the chilly air, the guards leading me to the base.
