Woooo! We finally got across the lake! Now let's make like a bread wagon and haul buns before the imperials get away from us. Right!

All units, ready yourself for an attack on the nearby village! Crush all who dare to resist our might! Not today, bub! You're not gonna take this gorgeous lake OR the super adorable village! Stand aside or be cut down, girl! That's what I was gonna say to YOU! ...Well, without the girl part. Anyway, get 'em, Lin! On it! What in blazes...? They're too strong to be mere villagers! Gya! They're holding the choke point on this path! We can't get through! Are you soldiers of the Empire or a group of feckless wretches who are cowed by a couple of children?! We have the superior numbers, so OVERWHELM THEM ALREADY! Girl, I think these losers are totally underestimating us. ...Such ugliness. Exactly! Now let's show 'em what we can do when we fight together and stuff! Step aside, chumps! Yaaaaaah! *pant* *pant* *huff* *puff* How...how can they be so strong...?! We've lost dozens of men already! *pant* You still good, Lin? *pant* I'm fine...but there's too many... Yeah, they're totally throwing everything they got at us—but we still won't let 'em take over this village! Enough! I will deal with these two personally. Commander, take the rest of the men and skirt around the lake. Understood, sir. ...All units, fall back and regroup! No! They're gonna hit the village from the other direction! Oh man, this SUCKS! Okay, we're gonna chase 'em down and— No, little ones. You will not. You're in our way. Not for long—we're gonna knock that smug look right off his stupid face!

No! The imperial soldiers are here! There's too many—we'll never be able to hide. ...Come here, child! Mama? Listen to me: Mama and Papa are going to stay here and distract the bad men. You have to run. Do you hear me? RUN. But...why can't you come? There's some over there, too! A man and a woman, plus a kid! Capture them! There's no time, child. Go! B-but... Don't look back. Just run. And remember that we will always love you! O-okay! Seize that child! Oh no you don't! Unhand me, you idiot! Arrrgh! What was that light?! Say cheese, jerk! Haaah! Uuurgh... Y-you're... I'm sorry we couldn't stop 'em from invading your village, but we're here to kick 'em out now! Lin, can you go after that little girl? She'll never be able to outrun the soldiers on those tiny little legs. But the village...! I've totally got it. You just go. You can't fight this many soldiers on your own. Don't worry—you aren't the only one whose dad taught her a few tricks! He showed me how to use a spear, so I'm totally gonna turn these dopes into swiss cheese! You just go save the kid. Um... Yeah? Whatcha need? Be careful, okay? Ha ha! Girl, you know I will be! You caught up to us faster than I was anticipating... Still, it was foolish of you to split off from your companion. Prepare to die! Oh, I didn't split off from anything— Lin and me are a united front! We talked together, fought together, rode a freakin' BOAT together... This place is crammed full of memories for both of us. So as long as I'm fighting here, I'll NEVER be alone! Your foolish talk of memories will mean little when you are bleeding to death on the cobblestones. ...Kill her, men! I KNEW you guys were underestimating us!
